Kearney: Sexton move opens 'new ball park'

Ireland fullback Rob Kearney has hinted that more of the country's top stars will follow Jonathan Sexton to France if the fly-half's switch is deemed a success.
Sexton told the Irish Rugby Football Union on Friday that he will not re-sign with the organisation at the end of the season, in the process bringing to an end his successful spell at Leinster. He is reportedly set to join Racing Metro with the Parisian giants said to have tabled a massive offer for his services.
But while Wales and England have previously lost internationals to the spending power of French clubs, it is the first time a high-profile Irish player has headed to the continent. Kearney has discussed the move with his close friend and Leinster team-mate and insists that if it proves a success, others might decide to head for the Top 14.
"That's professional sport, it happens. In Ireland we've probably been lucky over the years in that it's only now that a player has left. It will test the waters obviously," he said. "It could go very badly for him, it's impossible to say. Guys always talk about leaving and threatening to look for new experiences.
"France is one of the new experiences that players will generally pinpoint in looking for a change. Jonny's shown a lot of bravery. If it works out really well for him in that he's enjoying life and playing good rugby while earning more money, people will see that and it will open up a whole new ball park."
Reports since Friday have claimed that Sexton was disappointed with the IRFU's offer as he wanted parity with new Ireland skipper Jamie Heaslip. And Kearney is adamant that the Leinster fly-half wanted to stay with the province and in Ireland.
"Jonny was upset by the whole thing, there's no point lying about it. He will probably tell you that he wanted to stay," Kearney said. "It's unfortunate that whatever way the negotiations went on, he probably wanted to stay and play his rugby in Ireland. But you can't always get what you want.
"Myself and Jonny have been very close over the years and we have been talking about it as time has gone on. He was upset but now he's been able to grasp the whole situation and has started looking forward to it. He's got married to a lovely girl and this is a new start in life for him. He's excited about that and understands that he must jump head first into it."
Ireland name their side to face Wales for the Six Nations opener on Tuesday and Kearney stresses the need to make a triumphant start to the championship. "This is huge for us. We know we've lost our last three against them, including some big games," he said. "Losing the first game takes a lot of kick out of you and suddenly you come under more pressure."

IRWIN COUNTY, GA (WALB) - Some employees at a South Georgia prison are being investigated. And those workers are now on administrative leave.
Three Irwin County detention workers have been out of work since October third after allegations were made against them by another employee.
Director Michael Croft immediately put the workers on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
Croft would not comment on the details of the investigation or who is involved because it is still ongoing. He only said that the GBI would not be involved because it is not criminal investigation.

Class Hrs: 1 hour in class = 2 hours outside class
Ronald C. Pine, Ph.D.
7, Rm 625
845-9163 (& voice mail)
Web: Ron's Web Page
Recommended Prerequisite: Should be able to read and write at the College level. Since the ability to comprehend what you read is a prerequisite skill in logical reasoning, students are advised to take the necessary English courses either prior to or concurrently with Phil. 110.
Texts: Essential Logic: Basic Reasoning Skills For the Twenty-First Century, by Ronald C. Pine
Course Description:
The course develops basic techniques
of analysis and an understanding
of the principles and concepts involved in clear thinking.
will be logical validity, deductive and inductive reasoning, fallacious
arguments, symbolic logic, and scientific method as applied to criteria
of reasonable evidence.
This course fulfills the Symbolic
Reasoning requirement for the Foundation requirement for Honolulu
Community College and the University of Hawaii at Manoa. See the
Manoa General
Education requirements.
Course Purpose:
Because we live in a highly technological society, students should gain a basic understanding and appreciation of formal reasoning and its connection with the informal reasoning of every day life. Students should also gain an understanding of the basic software foundations for our machines (computers, game consoles, cell phones, etc.), and the process of putting human thoughts into these machines. Additionally, the course is based on the assumption that the less we think critically the more someone else will think for us -- usually with the intention of manipulating us. From this point of view, logic can be viewed as a defensive tool enabling each of us to defend ourselves against the onslaught of persuasive appeals that bombard our minds daily. As such it is an important element in the development of individual potential -- enabling us to be freer and more decisive individuals.
Course Objectives and
Student Learning Outcomes: Students will
demonstrate an understanding of the beauty and power of symbolic systems, as well as their clarity and precision, through use of techniques of logical analysis, with the intention of enhancing the student's reasoning skills and appreciation of abstraction, pattern recognition, and formal systems of analysis
A. Introductory lectures covering basic terminology. (15%; Chapters 1-3)
Fallacies to be learned.
|1. Appeals to Authority
|11. Ad Hominem Abusive
|2. Appeals to Popularity
|12. Ad Hominem Circumstantial
|3. Appeals to Loyalty
|13. Questionable Dilemma
|4. Provincialism
|14. Straw Person
|5. Traditional Wisdom
|15. Suppressed Evidence
|6. Two Wrongs Make a Right
|16. Ambiguity-Equivocation
|7. Hasty Conclusion
|17. Begging the Question
|8. Questionable Cause
|18. Irrelevant Reason
|9. Questionable Analogy
|19. Complex Question
|10. Slippery Slope
|20. Appeal to Ignorance
C. Basic skills of symbolic logic. Although the material will be presented by lecture and class handouts, a significant proportion of the work will consist of student learning groups. Students will often be asked to form groups and compare answers to homework problems. (70%, Chapters 7-10)
Since this course involves a step by step introduction of material, class attendance is very important. There will be ten quizzes (20pts. each = 200 pts.), one exam on informal fallacies (100 pts.), and a final exam covering symbolic logic (150 pts.). There will be no make-ups of individual quizzes, but there will be an extra-credit-day (50 pts.) prior to the final. Points gained on the extra-credit-day can be used to make up the points of missed quizzes, provided that a student has a good reason for missing a quiz and has communicated that reason to the instructor. Also, with the exception of the "A" grade, extra credit points can be used to boost a student's final grade one letter grade. Regular class attendance and participation in collaboration activities are important in borderline cases. This will be explained further in class. The final grade will be based on a percentage of the total points as follows:
90-100%---APlease note that the "N" and "Inc." grades are given only for special circumstances.
54%----F, N or Inc.
Qualified students with disabilities will receive appropriate accommodations in this course. Students with disabilities may obtain information on available services online at honolulu.hawaii.edu/disability. Specific inquires may be made by contacting Student ACCESS at 844-2392, by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by simply stopping by the office located in 2/409.

The Massachusett Department of Transportation is reporting that the 495 North entrance from 290 East has been blocked.
The block has closed the ramp to 495 North at exit 26 A/B after a car carrier rolled over.
The Marlborough Fire Department was called to the scene. There were no injuries reported, but they were called in to deal with a small fuel spill, said fire officials.
Marlborough Deputy Fire Chief Fred Flynn said during a closure of 495 North in August that tractor trailer accidents on this ramp happen at least once or twice a year.

Combining hand drawn images with computer coding, Joshua Davis taps into a dynamic juxtaposition for creative expression.
"I've long pushed the idea of using tools and technology to surpass what the human hand is capable of," says Joshua Davis, an artist well known for his dynamic work in digital design. "But I still want a hand-drawn feel to the work I do. It's what I call my 'impossible aesthetic.'"
Davis first used a Wacom pen tablet more than 10 years ago. Having a background in painting and using a brush, it was a natural fit to use the Wacom stylus instead of a mouse. Davis says the pen tablet gave him a way to achieve an ideal juxtaposition of hand drawing and technology, and opened the door to what has become his signature style, a hybrid between analog and digital.
His style has caught on with big brands. Davis gave life to IBM's Watson, the computer that competed against human contestants on the game show, Jeopardy! Watson's development team wanted to give their star player a face and personality to go along with his advanced artificial intelligence. Davis created an avatar using colors, boundaries, controls and variables mapped to 27 Jeopardy! trigger states (answer correct, answer wrong, buzzer, Daily Double, etc.) to express levels of confidence in Watson's answers.
Davis explains his artistic challenge: When creating circles, squares and triangles, using a traditional tool such as a mouse, those shapes are perfectly formed. Then when those circles, squares and triangles are placed into an algorithmic computer program he develops to generate thousands of images, those shapes remain pristine —not the outcome he is seeking in his work.
"Perfect shapes are missing a lot of life," said Davis. "I want to bring in circles, squares and triangles drawn by my comparatively shaky hand. That's why I use Wacom tools. I can combine my hand drawn images, which I create using the pen and tablet, with computer-generated vector designs, adding analog warmth to digital assets."
A recent design created for Anderson Ranch, consists of 120,000 vector points, which was rendered in just 40 seconds. "It would have been impossible for me to render this type of image by my hand alone," said Davis.
While Davis was one of the first to use a Wacom Cintiq 21UX pen tablet in 2010, he recently began using a Wacom Intuos Pro, which lets him pan, zoom and navigate naturally with finger gestures on a multi-touch surface. The pen gives him more than 2,000 levels of pressure sensitivity and tilt recognition, which closely emulates an artist's intuitive feel with a traditional brush and pen. For a recent project, Davis used a Cintiq 24 HD tablet, which gave him advanced capabilities for illustration and design, which he described as "dreamy."
Davis has long found inspiration in the abstract art of Jackson Pollock, who splattered, poured and dripped paint across large canvases to create "action paintings." Davis attended the Pratt Institute, where he also learned to write HTML and ActionScript programming language. By combining computer code with illustration and painting, he was able to bring Pollock's dynamism to his own technology-based design work. The code distributes, arranges and distorts his hand drawn artwork, essentially creating new and random images.
Davis has not only developed his own style of graphic artistry, he has also developed a unique, seven-step workflow process:
Davis sometimes puts those designs to video, which he displays on his Tumblr page. He uses his Wacom pen tablet to play with interactive graphics using new hardware like the Leap Motion, the 3D gesture controller, and Microsoft Kinect for voice, movement and gesture.
"The beauty of the work I do is in the surprise — the randomness and chance that allows a composition to reveal itself through thousands of digital generations," says Davis. "I always want that beautiful artistic accident to happen."
With Wacom, he merges art, design and technology to make beautiful accidents possible every day.

Good Sunday morning,
Paging through my Google Reader this morning, I found this interview over at AZ Snakepit, featuring ALICE the AI chat robot's analysis of the 2008 Diamondbacks. After reading it, I was only left with one question:
Human: Would you be willing to manage the Milwaukee Brewers?
ALICE: I am not so sure if I would like to be willing to manage the Milwaukee Brewers.
So the search continues, I guess.
Also, if you don't read Baseball Musings, you may have missed their analysis of the Brewers' 2008 lineup. They're predicting a slight improvement, from 4.94 runs per game last year to 4.97 this year. Even if you read nothing else in the article, go play with their lineup analysis tool. Here's its pick for the best Brewer lineup in '08:
1. Weeks, 2B
2. Fielder, 1B
3. Cameron, CF
4. Braun, LF
5. Hart, RF
6. Hall, 3B
7. Hardy, SS
8. Pitcher
9. Kendall, C
I've been playing with it for about a week now, and haven't gotten a single lineup where the pitcher bats 9th. For my Whatifsports team, it actually dropped the pitcher in the 6 hole.

The Colts are going to lose Sunday in Houston. Stop thinking they will win. They will lose and for your children, your Plasma TV, your relationship with your significant other/dog, and your overall happiness you need to mentally prepare yourself for the foregone loss of this game.
Is there a chance? No. There is not. It is best for you to not allow yourself to think there is a chance.
Do we need to go through the reasons? Okay fine
- Underwhelming coaches.
- #18
- 2 weeks prep time for a QB that was retired.
- Morale has to be low in the locker room. Mentally the team just lost the superbowl.
- They are on the road.
- Houston is the best team in the AFC South.
- The D can't get off of the field.
- Colts can't stop the run
- Colts can't run the ball
- They have a young line
- They can't stay healthy
- They got beat @ Houston last year
- They are undersized
- Curtis Painter is on the team
Now for the real point of this story
If you are a fanatic-Like me- the facts above don't matter and it is impossible to believe that the Colts can't win. It might be a snowball in hell but damn it I'm a believer and I think the Colts might rally to the occasion. When was the last time that these Colts were underdogs like this? There is a core of veterans that are out to prove that they are not Peyton's Puppets! Go Colts- 17-14 winners in Houston- EV
They can't win is incorrect- they shouldn't win is a given- But I believe it is possible.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (BP)--Like many civic assemblies, Oconee County, S.C., has opened council meetings with an invocation. Council member and pastor Bill Rinehart closed a meeting in October of last year with prayer by saying, We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
What Rinehart didnt know was that members of the American Civil Liberties Union search out and censor corps were sitting in the audience anonymously, waiting to pounce on the slightest expression of personal faith.
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution clearly states that government cannot prohibit the free exercise of religion. But despite this guarantee, a deeply intolerant ACLU is driven to expel religious expression from the public square.
Oconee County was one of three South Carolina councils sent threatening letters by ACLU attorneys around that time last year. The leftist organization was emboldened by a recent U.S. Court of Appeals decision which declared that no specific deity could be mentioned in an opening prayer.
In that case, Wiccan high priestess Darla Kaye Wynne was offended that a Great Falls, S.C., town council invocation mentioned Jesus. Demanding the tolerance to her religion that she wouldnt afford to others, Wynne fought the council. And won.
Not only did the ruling force Great Falls council members to censor their religious expression, the priestess also extracted nearly $60,000 in attorneys fees from the town and its taxpayers. The victory is somewhat hollow, however, in that a very similar ruling from a different circuit court recently upheld a Virginia county board of supervisors decision to exclude a Wiccan from the list of religious leaders available to provide invocations at its public meetings.
The president of the Oconee areas local ACLU chapter, Mike Cubelo, stated, You would think council members, public servants, should respect people who do not have the same faith. Too bad Cubelo doesnt practice what he preaches.
Writing for the left-wing website The Common Voice, Cubelo penned a shockingly intolerant article titled A Bullet Memo to the Right. In it, Cubelo wrote, To Bob Jones, Pat Robertson, and James Dobson: Kneel down, shut up, and pray in a church closet somewhere. Well come and get you when we need a [J]esus jihad.
The ACLU chapter president continued the mockery: To the Moral Value Morons: Why couldnt you just stay home and pray for a W victory instead of actually voting? Dont you have faith in Gods Will?
Despite the ACLUs claims of fighting for religious liberty, Cubelos ugly ridicule more accurately displays how the ACLU and their allies view traditional religious beliefs. And South Carolina isnt the only place they are trying to censor prayer. For instance:
The ACLU is threatening the Midd-West School Board in Pennsylvania with legal action for opening meetings with prayer and for not allowing field trips on Sundays or extra-curricular activities on Wednesday nights.
In October, the Georgia Chapter of the ACLU filed suit against two commissioners and seven residents of Cobb County for making overtly Christian prayers before meetings. The litigants allege that dozens of prayers mentioned Jesus. A judge denied the ACLUs request to halt the prayers until litigation is over.
The ACLU of Indiana filed a lawsuit to stop the Indiana House of Representatives from opening sessions with sectarian prayers. The ACLU complained, Visiting ministers or legislators themselves offered prayers with a heavy Christian emphasis that invoked Jesus Christ.
In August, the director of the Louisiana ACLU compared school prayer supporters to terrorists. Speaking of legal action involving Tangipahoa Parish public school officials, Joe Cook said, They believe they answer to a higher power, in my opinion ... which is the kind of thinking you had with the people who flew airplanes in the buildings in this country and people who did that kind of thing in London. He later offered a half-hearted apology.
Hypocritically, the ACLU claims that they are not against all prayer, just the sectarian type where a deitys name is mentioned. So, religious expression is fine as long as the ACLU, the government, and the occasional witch pre-approves the content. This policy might also be welcomed by Fidel Castro in Cuba, for example.
But governmental officials in America publicly have sought Gods guidance since the founding of the nation. Every presidential inaugural address but one invoked God.
Furthermore, the ACLUs misuse of the term sectarian confirms their true agenda to eradicate Christian prayers from the public life of our nation. The Supreme Court itself has noted that the word sectarian was once used as a code word in law for people hostile to a particular church. Today, the ACLU employs the same word against Christianity and Orthodox Judaism in general.
Demanding that Christian public officials censor their prayers makes a mockery of the practice and of their religion. Demanding that the government enforce this censorship of speech makes a mockery of our Constitution. And that mockery cannot be tolerated.
Alan Sears, a former federal prosecutor who held various posts in the departments of Justice and Interior during the Reagan Administration, is president and CEO of the Alliance Defense Fund (www.telladf.org), a Christian religious liberty legal organization. He is co-author with Craig Osten of the book The ACLU vs. America: Exposing the Agenda to Redefine Moral Values, available online at www.lifewaystores.com

The city of Orlando, Florida will host its first ever UFC event this spring and it will be televised live on Fox. Not only did the UFC officially announce their Orlando visit today, but they also confirmed two fights for their April 19th card. Fabricio Werdum takes on Travis Browne in a pivotal heavyweight match-up, while recently vanquished women's bantamweight title challengers Miesha Tate and Liz Carmouche are once again booked against each other.
Werdum (17-5-1) is on a 3 fight win streak, which includes a submission win over Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira last June in Fortaleza, Brazil. "Vai Cavalo" was supposed to fight champion Cain Velasquez for the belt, but Velasquez's shoulder surgery and recovery put Werdum in a spot where he either had to wait for his title shot or fight again, and obviously the latter option prevailed.
Browne (16-1-1) went 3-0 in 2013, and his year was capped off with a vicious barrage of elbows to the head of Josh Barnett's skull at UFC 168. All of his wins last year also came with deserved "Knockout of the Night" bonuses. He and Werdum are both ranked in the top 3 of the UFC's official heavyweight top 15.
Tate (13-5) became the first opponent to advance past round 1 against Ronda Rousey, but she was dominated anyway and still lost by armbar in round 3. She received the title shot after Cat Zingano, who TKO'd her in the TUF 17 Finale, injured her knee and was forced off of TUF 18 and the Rousey bout. So as it stands, Tate doesn't have a UFC win yet.
Carmouche (9-4) fought Rousey in the main event of UFC 157 where, of course, she tapped to the armbar in round 1. She forced a 2nd round TKO against Jessica Andrade at UFC on Fox 8 for her first UFC win, but lost a decision to Alexis Davis in November. Tate and Carmouche were scheduled to fight at Fox 8 in Seattle before Tate was given the coaching position on TUF and rematch with Rousey, hence Andrade as the late replacement.
Neither one of these fights is the main event, so expect more fights (including the headliner) to be announced shortly before tickets go on sale February 14th.

Cyprus can have the best of both worlds if it can export compressed natural gas to regional markets and liquefied natural gas to global markets at the same time.
This is what Adam Hedayat, vice-president for the Mediterranean, Middle East and Africa for Canada-based CNG transporter Sea NG Corporation, told The Cyprus Weekly yesterday.
"We are focusing on the interim solution (for Cyprus) and the smaller values, we are complementary to the LNG, we are not in competition. And we believe that Cyprus can have the best of both worlds at the same time, CNG for regional markets and LNG for global markets," Hedayat said.
"Our proposal is before DEFA (Natural Gas Public Company)… I look at the Cypriot situation from an external point of view, and with the prevailing harsh financial difficulties the government needs to do two things: one is to reduce the cost of imported fuel and the second is to accelerate export revenue. In conjunction with the longer-term plans for LNG exports," he added.
Hedayat said that with gas from Israel and their own flexible pipeline Cyprus can have gas within 24 months only - provided all agreements are signed.
The Sea NG alliance has strong financial and operational capability – over 110 billion in assets, added the electrical engineer.
However, DEFA is now evaluating an interim supply competition bid by ITERA International Group of Companies – one of the largest independent producers and traders of natural gas operating in the CIS and the Baltic states.
Insiders in Nicosia have said that only if this bid is considered too expensive will the state consider alternatives.
Houston-based Noble Energy which discovered Cyprus' natural gas deposits in 2011 has also made an 'informal interim proposal' to the government involving the deployment of a spar platform.
A spar platform can drill and produce natural gas from a well faster than conventional drilling rigs and Noble could feed Vassilikos power plant as early as January 2016.
Last month, Cyprus signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Noble Energy, Delek Drilling and Avner Oil Exploration regarding the development of an LNG terminal at Vasilikos. Nicosia aims to begin LNG exports in 2020.
Hedayat said that if an interim CNG solution is implemented, benefits would be immediate with a reduction in national energy import bill of over €100 million per year.
In addition, there would be a potential reduction in cost electricity of over 10% for households.
And cleaner gas could eliminate an EU-required carbon-credit purchase programme.

WELLINGTON: A strong 6.3-magnitude earthquake rattled New Zealand Monday, halting train services and knocking merchandise off shelves, but there were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries.
The quake, which struck at 3:52pm (0252 GMT), was centred in the North Island about 115 kilometres (71 miles) northeast of the capital city Wellington, the US Geological Survey said.
The tremor hit at a depth of 27 kilometres and was widely felt throughout the North and South islands. It was followed by a series of smaller aftershocks.
"I've seen the neighbours and they're a bit shaken up but apart from that no damage," Brian Smith of Eketahuna, near the centre of the quake, told Radio New Zealand, describing the tremor as as a sharp jolt. "My wife was outside in the garden and she said she couldn't stand up and had to sit down."

Not again! Why can't Pacifica stop trying to censor its staff?
If you thought the drive to censor KPFA's workers was past, think again. Pacifica has released new versions of its "employee handbook" for both paid and volunteer workers, according to KPFAWorker.org, which threaten them with termination for posting criticism of the network on their personal social media pages or private websites, or even speaking to the press. Free speech radio won't be so free if the Pacifica board majority has its way: "It's shamefully obvious," one worker tells KPFAWorker, "that Pacifica's board majority wants to remove its workers' voices from the conversation about the network's future," continuing the pro-censorship agenda … Continue reading

Jon Fromer, Presente!
Singer, labor activist, and award-winning TV producer Jon Fromer passed away the morning of January 2nd. For decades, he and his guitar were fixtures at pickets and demonstrations in the Bay Area. Among the many causes he took up in his incredible 66 years: KPFA. Jon played a key role in the group that first started meeting to set up SaveKPFA; even after his diagnosis with stomach cancer, he still came, guitar in hand, to support KPFA's workers at demonstrations in front of Pacifica's offices. Here's an audio tribute to Jon that Brian Edwards-Tiekert put together for the Pacifica Evening … Continue reading

LSB supports bylaws changes to make boards smaller; rejects censorship
Good news from KPFA's local board meeting on December 1: members voted to support Pacifica bylaws reforms which would reduce the size of the Local Station Boards from 24 to 16, and Pacifica National Board from 22 to 17. These changes, if accepted by a majority of the other local boards, will save the network money and begin to streamline governance. Board members also discussed the initiating role of KPFA staff in the highly successful fundraiser for Pacifica's WBAI, hit hard by Superstorm Sandy. In a tremendous show of solidarity, all five Pacifica stations pitched in for a national day of … Continue reading
Why I'm Supporting SaveKPFA in KPFA's Board Election
By Brian Edwards-Tiekert This month, KPFA is going through what will probably prove to be one of the most important elections of its 10-year experiment with democracy. I'm supporting the candidates listed at www.savekpfa.org, along with many other endorsers, because what's at stake is the survival of KPFA as we know it. Right now, KPFA is slowly recovering from a near-mortal blow. When Pacifica purged The Morning Show two years ago, it removed KPFA's biggest fundraiser from the air. To compensate, the station had to increase the amount of days it spends in fund drives by 30%–a sure recipe for dropping listenership … Continue reading

Surprising developments at the PNB meeting in Berkeley
KPFA listeners and staff filled the July 20-23 meeting of the Pacifica National Board (PNB) in Berkeley past capacity, spilling into the hallway during public portions of the meeting. Listeners came from all over the broadcast area — Santa Rosa, Petaluma, San Jose, Oakland, and even Fresno and Los Angeles. Dozens spoke up eloquently during public comment, opposing more cuts at KPFA, criticizing Pacifica's current leadership, and challenging Pacifica Treasurer Tracy Rosenberg on her unproven budget claims. "We need quality programming in order to keep listeners and subscribers," long-time listener Ellen Jennings told the board. "I don't believe KPFA can … Continue reading

This weekend: Come to PNB meeting to demand no more cuts!
It's been three years since the Pacifica National Board met in Berkeley — and the first time the board has had to face our community since Pacifica killed the Morning Show, claiming financial necessity. The board is coming here this weekend. At this moment, Pacifica is trying to impose $300,000 in new cuts on KPFA. KPFA's manager estimates this would entail cutting 7 to 8 positions. He hasn't specified which, but it would be enough to eliminate Letters & Politics, Against The Grain, UpFront and Hard Knock Radio — nearly every daily program produced at our radio station. These cuts … Continue reading

KPFA's local board chair urges YES vote
"Let me paint a picture of where KPFA is now — because it should concern all of us — no matter which side we're on," writes Margy Wilkinson, chair of KPFA's local board in an open letter to listeners. Wilkinson cites evidence of the dramatic loss of listenership following Pacifica management's purging of the station's most listened-to program, the Morning Show, produced by a crew of young, diverse journalists. What follows is a tale of stunningly undemocratic dirty-tricks, financial mismanagement and anti-union maneuvers that have caused KPFA listeners to demand an immediate change in Pacifica's management — starting with the … Continue reading

Noted Tracy Rosenberg endorsers withdraw support, YES on KPFA recall endorsers list growing
David Barsamian, host of Alternative Radio, who was initially listed as an endorser of the "no" recall campaign, now says that it was a "total error on his part." He told KPFA staff that he retracted his endorsement once he found out more about the issues. KPFA staffer Davey D of Hard Knock Radio, in response to a listener query, has also said he did not take a position against the recall. Nevertheless, his name still appears on the anti-recall site as a staff endorser. Meanwhile, the YES campaign is adding endorsers daily, including (titles & organizations for ID only): … Continue reading

Pacifica National Board votes to "wind down" use of union-busting law firm Jackson Lewis
"It took hundreds of letters, over two thousand petition signatures, a picket from KPFA listeners and staff, and two strong resolutions from the local boards of KPFA and Los Angeles sister station KPFK," said KPFA board chair Margy Wilkison, "but we got Pacifica to at least back away from employing those union-busters at Jackson Lewis." She's referring to the fact that the Pacifica National Board passed a measure in closed session to "wind down" its current employment of the firm, which Pacifica hired on retainer earlier this year. The motion allows Jackson Lewis to complete work on three cases the … Continue reading

VICTORY: KPFK board votes against Jackson Lewis
The elected Local Station Board at Pacifica station KPFK in Los Angeles has just joined KPFA's board in passing a resolution calling on Pacifica to drop Jackson Lewis. As at KPFA, the resolution passed by an overwhelming majority. This steps up pressure on the Pacifica National Board to act now to cancel Jackson Lewis' retainer agreement. Got a minute to make a difference? Last time the national board met, it spent its time discussing how to block messages from listeners. This time, let's be sure they hear the substance of our message loud and clear: fire Jackson Lewis NOW! Send … Continue reading

Saucy video version of Christmas classic proves online hit for Sarratt musician (From Watford Observer)

Festive fun version of classic proves a cheeky Christmas hit
5:59pm Monday 10th December 2012 in News By Ben Endley, Senior reporter
An aspiring Sarratt musician has become an online hit after recording a saucy Christmas music video.
Emily Brothers, who goes by the name Empop, recorded her version of the Christmas classic Santa Baby, which was made famous in 1953 by Eartha Kitt, in hers and her parents' homes in the village.
The song has since been covered by dozens of artists over the years and Emily says the opportunity to perform a cheeky version gave it an edge over her second choice of All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey.
She says the video was recorded by her boyfriend Angus and she edited it at home after teaching herself to use the software before uploading it on Thursday (December 6).
"Because Santa Baby can be quite cheeky it is a fun Christmas song to perform," she said.
"Santa Baby is also a bit easier to sing than All I Want For Christmas is You and it suits my voice more too.
"We planned out each line in advance and decided what funny thing I would be doing, then on the day we came up with more.
"I have been writing songs for years and if this video can encourage a few more people to listen to them, that's great."
Emily, who has been writing songs since she was 14, likens herself to Lily Allen and Kate Bush in vocal style and enjoys listening to 1960s female vocalists such as Joni Mitchell.
She says she is hoping the festive YouTube track can become an online sensation following in the footsteps of South Korean artist Psy's hit song Gangnam Style.
Since going online the video has been viewed more than 200 times although still sits some way behind the South Korean's effort which has been viewed close to a billion times.
She said: "I recently recorded my first album and put it online but I wanted to do something to draw attention to my pages.
"I wanted to do a fun video and it went really well, I am so pleased with how people have reacted to it.
"This is my first proper video, my boyfriend was holding the camera and I taught myself to edit the footage. He loves the finished video."
Emily runs the Sound Cube in The Parade, Watford, where other budding young artists can have the opportunity to record their own tracks.

One thing just sticks out like a sore thumb again, Lou Alexander is being beat badly. This O line will look much different when Pugh is back. The game was changed by the pressure put on Nassib.
You could tell it the pressure was getting in Nassib's head again. I think once Pugh comes back it may give him a little more peace of mind.
Still can't help but think how much getting stopped by Stony Brook last week came into play today at the 1 yard line today, and stretching it instead of running it down the middle twice.
Turnovers wore out the defense in my opinion, they don't make them the defense would have been much stronger in the second half. That is where running a hurry up offense can back fire on yourself, you have to take care of the ball.
I still have a lot of hope for this team. I am still happy with the coaching staff, as I can see what the are accomplishing. In the end a loss, but still better than Greg Robinson.

Children already zoned for the school will continue to go there, but next year 85 new slots will open up for students countywide.
Students at Lamar Reese already study a full-time arts curriculum. The board members say the change will not cost the school system any additional money.

text: I think we all need something to take our minds off of the ugly loss to the Saints earlier. This game might be good enough. The top two teams in the NFC East battle it out in the City of Brotherly Love tonight and Manning vs. Vick could be a solid matchup. The teams both have top 10 defenses according to DVOA and while Philly's rush defense sucks, both teams have great pass defenses. Go Philly, I guess.

Undergraduate Programs
Food and Nutrition Program
The University of Alabama has been educating dietitians for over seventy five years. We offer two undergraduate programs that lead to the credential of the registered dietitian: Coordinated Program in Dietetics and Didactic Program in Dietetics.
The coordinated program in dietetics is accredited by The Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE), 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606-0995. This option combines the theory presented in class with experience in health care settings under the supervision of faculty or other health professionals. Students are eligible to take the national examination to become Registered Dietitians immediately upon graduation. Students apply for admission to the coordinated program in the second semester of the sophomore year. Admission decisions are based on grades in relevant courses, score on the pretest and letters of reference.
- Coordinated Program in Dietetics Admissions Information
- Coordinated Program in Dietetics Application Packet
The option to become a Registered Dietitian is the didactic program in dietetics, which is accredited by The Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE), 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2,000, Chicago, IL 60606-0995. This program prepares graduates to enter dietetic internships where they can apply the theories they learn as undergraduates in health care settings under the supervision of health professionals. Subsequently, they are eligible to take the national examination and become Registered Dietitians.
In addition to these programs, students may major in Food and Nutrition and complete the requirements to apply for medical, pharmacy, or physical therapy schools. Students wishing to meet these requirements should choose the nutrition sciences concentration.

For the record, let me say that Dee Rees' extraordinary film Pariah never got a fair shot from Focus Features. The film never broke open outside just a few cities and theaters, and, as a result A LOT of people who are constantly asking for intelligent and sensitive black films free of stereotypes and the oke doke, and who would have loved it, never got a chance to see it.
Well, the good news is that they soon will have their chance now that Universal Home Video has annoncued that the film will be coming to DVD, both standard and blu-ray, on April 24th.
What extra features wil be on the DVD (and there are sure to be plenty of them) have not been announced as yet, but no doubt we will report about them closer to the DVD release date.
woh | March 1, 2012 1:12 PM
Can't wait to see it!
Yoshi | February 24, 2012 10:58 AM
It took them a while to get to Charlotte but I'm glad that they did, and I will definitely be buying the DVD as well.
Tamara | February 24, 2012 10:06 AM
FINALLY! Yes!
Dankwa Brooks | February 24, 2012 5:54 AM
Well I have to give credit to Focus Features credit for getting it in a theater in Baltimore. Most great films I read about here @ S&A and elsewhere never get released here. I also think they did better than the distributor for ATTACK THE BLOCK. PARIAH as great as it was didn't have the potential "cult hit" appeal of ATB. That movie could have at least made $40 mil I'm the U.S.
Keepingitreal | February 23, 2012 11:34 PM
I was hoping for a wider theatrical release. I will buy a few copies to show my support.

The irony of Will Leitch's Tuesday afternoon posting's title promoting his appearance on HBO's special edition of "Costas Now", can not be overlooked.
Just about everything went wrong: For Bob Costas and Pulitzer Prize-winner H.G. "Buzz" Bissinger and, to a lesser extent, HBO. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of potential viewers who were deprived of a serious discussion on how sports journalism is evolving – especially as it pertains to blogs.
Wanting only to play the provocateur, Bissinger proceeded to blame Leitch for the work of his commenters and Costas continued to only look for "the worst" in every long-winded question he asked.
As Leitch says in his high-road post-mortem at Deadspin, you really had to feel bad for Braylon Edwards in the whole mess.
But probably moreso for Bissinger, who needs a course in tact and manners.
Shots hasn't been able to locate the actual video as of posting time, but we're assuming by mid-morning it will be available at various places up until a time when HBO orders it all taken down. Act fast!
. . . Another three-first-named miscreant like yours truly (David Ross Scott), Michael David Smith, seems to feel much the same way we did after viewing the Buzz-on-Leitch battle. Old friend, Dan Shanoff gets some discussion rolling as well.
. . . At the very least, the incident could kick start some seriously needed discussion.
[After all, isn't all this reminiscent of the largely-overlooked gaffe by MJD at Yahoo! Sports over the weekend? What are the boundaries and who's setting forth the rules?]
. . .We managed to sit through the talk radio segment and it too had serious flaws. We will say the packages leading into each of the discussions we sat through gave a good overview of the topic. The Fire Joe Morgan guy from "The Office" was just tremendous.
. . . HBO should get some credit for green-lighting such a project, but the poor execution and over-the-top confrontational panels seemed to illustrate the very point that negativity is what stokes the fire.
• A WC Heinz primer if you need it. And another from his recent death. And start with this one, as mentioned on the Costas show.
• I realize the risk of all this Leitch/New Media/Blog defense smacks of Blogger Defending Blogger, but honestly, Bissinger looked desperate for relevance and attention in his "15 minutes." Costas too, showed an under-education on the topic at hand and his whole AJ Daulerio rant was senseless. You didn't go off on Mitch Albom for something Drew Sharp wrote at the Free-Press, why do you go after Leitch for something his co-"worker" wrote, Bob?
David Scott writes from a seaside shanty on the shores of Hull, Mass. and can be reached at shotsATbostonsportsmediaDOTcom.
Scott's first book, with Memphis Coach John Calipari, is scheduled for release in the Fall of 2009.
Not only don't you blame Albom for something Sharp wrote, but you fact-check first, Bob. Daulerio didn't write the piece he mentioned.
If you read the paperback edition of "Friday Night Lights," you'll have a lovely experience and learn a lot about the game of baseball. And then you'll be disgusted by Bissinger's Afterword, in which he rants about sabermetrics in the same way he ranted about blogs last night. I don't know where all this hate comes from; Bissinger is such a great writer and insightful observer of people and events. But certain things just absolutely piss him off in a way that he's completely unable to control. Weird.
Correction: Not "Friday Night Lights," but "3 Nights in August."
Sorry, I'm typing this in my PJ's in my basement.
This is clearly Shaughnessy v. '38 Pitches' writ large. The mainstream media are incensed that the conveyance of information not go through THEIR filter and THEIR pipeline. The haughty and elitist posture taken by that 'journalist' was, at the same time, hysterical and sad. This guy–and many like him–are 'gray-hairs' in an industry that has decided to go off on a different direction. The 'How DARE They' attitude comes back to bite them in the form of collapsing TV news viewership and newspaper readership. Only a fool would suggest the two don't go hand-in-hand.

NYT's Peters on the 'Dog-Whistle Politics,' Subliminal Crosses of the Religious Right
New York Times media reporter Jeremy Peters was seeing things in Wednesday's story on secret, "dog-whistle" religious appeals by GOP candidates past and present: "Appealing to Evangelicals, Hopefuls Pack Religion Into Ads."
"Dog-whistle politics" is a derogatory term, often employed to describe what liberals consider to be coded, subliminal racist messages "pitched" too high for the general public to recognize. Peters, who seems suspicious of the idea of appealing to evangelical Christians, gets in a dig at Catholics to boot.
There is Rick Perry, a stained-glass window and a large illuminated cross over his right shoulder, looking more preacher than politician. An aerial shot of a soaring church steeple zooms into focus a few seconds later. Then -- blink and you'll miss it -- a picture of Mr. Perry, the Texas governor, with his arm around Mike Huckabee flashes on the screen.
In more overt ways than ever, Republican candidates vying for support from Iowa caucusgoers are turning to religious language and imagery in their advertisements, seeking to appeal to the Christian conservative base that will play a pivotal role in determining the victor here.
Gone are the suggestive and supposedly subliminal images of campaigns past, as when Mr. Huckabee caused a stir in 2007 after releasing a commercial that appeared to show a cross floating in the background.
The new, more pointed religious references reflect how campaigns are scrambling for support among evangelicals who are still divided over whom to support as the caucuses near.
Peters' examples of "dog-whistle politics" range from overwrought to dubious.
Politicians have long employed coded language in their messaging to religious conservatives, a practice often derided as dog-whistle politics for its ability to stir emotions among those who are in-the-know while passing undetected over others. Sarah Palin has often referred to her support from "prayer warriors," a term known among evangelicals as those who engage in battle with Satan.
The 2004 Bush-Cheney campaign used billboards with faint images of crosses. And at the Republican National Convention that year, the lecterns on stage were made of two-tone wood that appeared designed to resemble crosses. The Bush campaign insisted it was a coincidence. Where some people see a rusty water stain, after all, others see the Virgin Mary.
A web search suggests the term "prayer warriors" does not necessarily entail the idea of apocalyptic battles with demonic forces, but more of a network of religious comfort and support.
A 2004 post by BeliefNet editor Steven Waldman suggests the obscure idea that the Bush team embedded crosses into convention podiums as a subliminal message originated with liberal talk radio host Ellen Rattner. Waldman toyed with the prospect, but also pointed out: "The problem, of course, is that any two lines intersecting form a cross, so if you look for them, you can find crosses many places."

Leftist media hacks LOVE their 'dog-whistles'
Submitted by ChrisNH on Wed, 12/28/2011 - 6:23pm.
It's easy to see why Leftist media hacks love the 'dog-whistle' angle. It allows them to ascribe their own meaning to things they see or hear that run counter to their uber-Lib 'world view.' In journalism, that's called 'inferring.' And one thing that these media hacks should know (but don't) is the simple difference between 'infer' and imply.'

"Coded" messages? Um, we call that paranoia.
Submitted by drsamherman on Thu, 12/29/2011 - 9:32pm.
Those who see "coded" messages that others do not and also discuss general social activities in a conspiratorial context are normally worked up by we psychiatrists for paranoia-related diagnoses. Dog whistle references from this ilk is one step short of a high dose risperidone regimen for these media hacks.

MADISON (WKOW) -- A new University of Wisconsin study says pacifiers may have emotional consequences for boys.
The study, published Tuesday in the journal "Basic and Applied Social Psychology," says pacifiers may stunt the emotional development of baby boys, because it robs them of the opportunity to try facial expressions during infancy.
This is the first study to associate pacifiers with psychological consequences, so experts say more research is needed to gain a better understanding of other possible factors
"These are correlational studies so we're going to want to keep persisting with this question and looking at the possibility or looking at the actual causal relationship between these two things is it really pacifier that's doing this and if pacifier is doing it how," says UW researcher Paula Niedenthal.
Researchers say humans of all ages often mimic the expressions and body language of the people around them, and that mimicry can be an important learning tool for babies.

Surprising Uses for Your Dishwasher
22 unexpected items you can put in the dishwasher and 13 things you shouldn't. Plus, how to cook salmon in the dishwasher (seriously).
Tom Schierlitz
Things You Thought Could Go in the Dishwasher But Really Shouldn'tCast-iron, enameled-cast-iron, and copper pots and pans are on the never list. Why? Cast iron rusts; enameled cast iron chips; copper dents.
Formal dishes and nice flatware can get worn with repeated washings. Rule of thumb: If it's something you would cry over harming or losing, don't put it in. (If you do put sterling silver in the dishwasher, use about a tablespoon of detergent and don't mix it with stainless-steel flatware; a chemical reaction between the metals can discolor the silver.)
Wooden spoons can warp and crack. If you don't mind replacing them frequently, throw them in; otherwise wash them in the sink.
Good kitchen knives and steak knives aren't cheap. Why risk dulling their blades?
Crystal glasses are especially vulnerable. Food particles can etch them; heat can cause cracks. After hand washing (it's usually safer than using the china/crystal setting), dry with a cloth that hasn't been laundered with fabric softener, which can leave a film.
Insulated mugs and containers feature vacuum seals, which can be destroyed if water seeps in.
Brass items should never see the inside of a dishwasher. Hot water can remove the natural protective layer that forms on brass.
Wooden cutting boards can swell and contract, leaving them teetery and essentially useless on a counter. Most bamboo boards are susceptible, too. But we found one that uses a heat-resistant adhesive, making it dishwasher-safe: Totally Bamboo GreenLite collection, $11.50 to $40, totallybamboo.com.

One of the challenges of any long-distance bike ride (beyond the actual pedaling, of course) is in keeping your phone charged. Most cyclists enjoy using one of the many mapping programs available to track their route and ride stats; however, using GPS drains the battery pretty quick. In fact, while battery life on my iPhone is twelve hours for a normal day, it's three hours or less when on a ride using GPS or with a mapping app turned on. That's a bummer given that you probably have both the desire to track a long ride like a century route (100 miles), but still be certain that you have enough battery to be able to make a call home in case of emergency or just to update the family on what time you'll be back.
That's why I was so interested to learn about solar-powered battery chargers and their capacity to solve this problem. A reader and touring cyclist who has used this type of gadget on his own rides suggested I check this out. What follows is a review of one of the more capable devices on the market, the Revive Solar ReStore XL + solar charger.
Many Uses for This Versatile Tool
The first thing that I figured out in testing it (on an unsupported four-day bike tour) is that there are a number of nifty features built into the Solar Restore XL+, and that the solar charging is just one aspect of it that proves extraordinarily handy.
I pictured it working like this: I'd be riding along on some long bike trip and my cell phone battery would run low. I'd pull out the charger, leave it in the sun for a while mounted on my bike rack (using the included suction cups and carabiner that allow for multiple mounting positions to find the best angle for catching some rays) as I rode along and after a while my phone would be charged.
And while yes, it can work that way, the most handy part of the Solar Restore XL+ is that it is actually a battery itself. Before leaving home, you goose the thing with a hearty initial charge, which will enough to power seven full smartphone charges or a single charge of tablet device like an iPad before the device itself needs recharging. This can be done via AC power (wall outlet), solar or USB.
In practical terms, what this meant is that on a recent bike trip I charged the Solar Restore XL+ at home before leaving. Then, during the day while we were out riding I not only recharged my smartphone that was running low but also my buddy's phone as well. Then, once we reached our destination later that afternoon I set the Solar Restore XL+ out in the sun and it was soon recharged.
In my opinion, having the ability to carry power with you that you can replenish as needed is the best asset of the Solar Restore XL+. Its ability to use one of several methods of recharging (outlet, USB or solar) is another cool thing. It is certainly something that I would pack along on a bike tour or camping trip.
Multiple Features in the Solar Restore XL+
The designers of the Solar Restore XL+ incorporated a number of smart features that enhance its usability. The device includes a very bright three-bulb, 50-hour LED flashlight built into one end that comes in handier than you might imagine for things like putting up a tent in the dark or trying to repair a flat tire on a night ride. You can also for instance use the suction cups and/or carabiner to create an improvised bike light that will allow you to be seen more easily if you get caught out riding after dark. The flashlight can be used in steady beam or flash mode; it even offers a continuous "SOS" flash mode that transmits an illuminated distress signal that can literally be seen for miles.
Additionally, simplicity rules the day in that the Solar Restore XL+ is operated by a single toggle button that controls the device's functional state: whether it is charging another device, being used as a flashlight, or to light the display that shows how charged the Solar Restore XL+ is.
The "+" or "plus" in the Solar Restore XL+ name refers to the second separate charging panel that nearly doubles the charging rate of the device in direct sunlight. It connects quickly and easily using spring hinge and connection bar. This allows the flexibility to carry it with you when you want the extra charging capacity or to leave it home if you're trying to pack light.
Highly Rated - Few Drawbacks
All in all, we like the Solar Restore XL+ very much. It certainly solved the vexing problem of smartphones chewing through their battery not even halfway into long bike rides. Now I'll be able to track my ride the whole way through AND listen to my jamming tunes AND still call home when needed. Sounds like win-win-win to me.
- Fully charges in direct sunlight in 11 hours.
- Fully charges by USB/AC outlet in 6-8 hours.
- Built-in battery status meter and multiple mode LED flashlight.
- Includes detachable solar panel, USB charging cable; carabiner and window mounts.
- 6,000 mAh capacity Li-Polymer battery.
- 580mA high efficiency charging rate (using both panels).
- Durable construction with ABS plastic and rear aluminum-accented shell.
- Available in black or white.
- Dimensions: XL+ solar charger/battery - Length 6.7" Width 3.6" Thickness 0.8"
- Dimensions: Add-on Panel - Length 5.3" Width 3.7" Thickness 0.3"
- Combined weight is 13 ounces. Each add-on panel weighs 3 ounces
- List price $120; listed for about $60 here on Amazon.com and other sites.

Landlords are borrowing more against their properties in commercial-mortgage bond deals planned through June, according to Moody's Investors Service.
Transactions slated to be marketed during the second quarter include pools with average loan sizes approaching or exceeding the value of the building as calculated by Moody's, the New York-based rating company said in a report today. Underwriters will probably have to boost credit protections to compensate for the rising leverage, Moody's said.
"Should the adverse credit drift continue in future quarters, it will be met with further subordination increases," Tad Philipp, director of commercial real estate research at Moody's, said in the report.
The size of deals is poised to increase by about 40 percent to $1.3 billion, compared with transactions completed in the first quarter, according to Moody's.
Commercial-mortgage bond sales have been reviving, with banks arranging about $28 billion of the securities last year, up from $11.5 billion in 2010, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. More than $4 billion has been sold this year compared with a record $232.5 billion in 2007.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. is marketing about $1.1 billion of bonds backed by property loans in the bank's first sale of the debt in 2012, according to a person familiar with the offering. The deal is linked to 49 loans on 118 properties across the U.S., with holdings in Texas accounting for more than 20 percent of the pool, said the person.

Apparently, Texas A&M and the Big 12 have agreed on the exit fees for the Aggies' move to the SEC: A&M has to suffer through the most heart-breaking season in college football history.
The latest chapter in A&M's novel of swooning came Saturday in Manhattan, when the Aggies took a 14-0 early lead and a 10-point lead late in the fourth quarter and turned into a 53-50, four-overtime loss to Kansas State in a marathon game in Manhattan. The match-up took more than four hours to play.
After the first three overtimes ended with both teams gridlocked, Texas A&M took over on offense with the teams tied at 47, but a third-down play came up about a yard short of the first down. Rather than try to go for it and work towards a touchdown, Mike Sherman decided to take the field goal.
Kansas State countered with a three runs, including the apparent third-down conversion by Klein that was subject to instant replay. On first down, the Wildcats took a shot to the end zone -- which was interfered with by Texas A&M to set up a first and goal. Two quarterback sneaks got the ball across the goal line and give Kansas State the win.

More on The Ghosts of Belfast by Stuart Neville: Former paramilitary killer Gerry Fegan is haunted by his victims, twelve souls who shadow his every waking day and scream through every drunken night. Just as he reaches the edge of sanity they reveal their desire: vengeance on those who engineered their deaths. From the greedy politicians to the corrupt security forces, the street thugs to the complacent bystanders who let it happen, all must pay the price. When Fegan's vendetta threatens to derail Northern Ireland's peace process and destabilize its fledgling government, old comrades and enemies alike want him gone. David Campbell, a double agent lost between the forces of law and terror, takes the job. But he has his own reasons for eliminating Fegan…
