The conservative Twitter community remains ever-vigilant against the online Left's Coordinated Spam-Block Bloc. We've tracked it for a month now since the unjust suspension of @Freemarket_US in April, then through the confirmed coordinated attack on @ChrisLoesch less than week after that, and then the suspension and release of @ShaneWright22 (also confirmed as a Coordinated Spam-Block bloc attack) and many others earlier this month.
Tonight, conservative Twitter activists sent word that an editor from Misfit Politics, @gopfirecracker, had her account suspended.
Another Twitter user suspended tonight: @orwellforce
Hey everyone. It seems that @orwellforce has been suspended. Apparently, no reason given by @twitter. WTF?—

Some steps to remember if you get Twitter Gulag'ed.
1. File a ticket. Twitter can't help unless you do this.
2. Take screenshots if possible. Make a list of the Twitter users you were tweeting with before your suspension and note the subjects you were discussing.
3. Give Twitter a little time — at least 24-48 hours.
4. Notify @FreeChrisLoesch and @TWlTTERGULAG, two accounts that keep running tallies of users trapped in #twittergulag.
5. Make noise! Keep making noise!

Morgan James Performs Songs from Nina Simone's Repertoire On Debut Solo Recording
By Andrew Gans
Singer-songwriter Morgan James, who will be seen in Broadway's Motown: The Musical, will release her debut solo recording next month.
Entitled "Morgan James Live," the recording will be available from Epic Records beginning Dec. 4.
Recorded at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, the album features James' renditions of standards from the repertoire of Nina Simone.
In a statement actress-singer James said, "For a long time I wasn't sure what to do with the fact that I've got this gigantic voice that doesn't quite match how I look, so I ended up trying out lots of different things to find my way. Nina refused to be pigeon-holed into any one genre, and she wasn't setting out to impress anyone. That sort of purity and lack of showboating means so much to me as a musician."
James collaborated with music director David Cook in creating the musical arrangements at Dizzy's in July 2012.
The complete track listing follows:

Maddow On 'Today': ObamaCare Decision Will Be 'Referendum' On 'Conservatively Politicized' Supreme Court
Appearing on Tuesday's NBC Today, left-wing MSNBC host Rachel Maddow spun the Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare as being a judgment of how partisan the high court has become: "...this may as much be a referendum on the Supreme Court and whether or not the Roberts court is so conservatively politicized that it will make a decision to hurt the President, rather than sticking closely to precedent here."
Maddow touted a recent Bloomberg poll, "that 75% of people think that the Supreme Court will decide based on their political beliefs, not on the law." She conveniently left out the results of the latest CBS News/New York Times poll that showed only 36% of Americans approve of ObamaCare, while 47% disapprove. A recent Rasmussen poll showed 56% favoring repeal of the law.
Rather than challenge Maddow's assertions, Lauer wondered: "...if they uphold this – this law, what's the effect on the President come re-election time in November?" Surprisingly, Maddow yawned at that result: "I don't actually think it will have that much of an effect if it is upheld....if what the Republicans call ObamaCare, is upheld, then the President has still reformed health care and Republicans still hate it and we're back to where we are now." The CBS/New York Times poll found only 56% of Democrats approved of the law.
Lauer also asked Maddow about an open mic gaffe President Obama made while meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, speaking about having more "flexibility" to deal with Russia on arms control after his "last election." Lauer pressed: "Why shouldn't people think this is a disingenuous stand on foreign policy?...it adds to the cynicism that people have. They say our leaders should take a stand on principle, not political vulnerability."
Maddow predictably downplayed the obvious stumble for the President: "So it's a little bit of a window into realpolitik and the way these guys really talk to each other. I don't think we learned anything new. But it's kind of interesting to see two leaders, you know, speaking unguardedly."
Here is a portion of the March 27 exchange:
LAUER: Let's move over to what's happening at the Supreme Court today. Second day of oral arguments over the President's health care reform law. If it is struck down by the Supreme Court, talk to me about how that affects November. And then take it the other way, if it's upheld by the Supreme Court.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Supreme Test; How Will Health Care Debate Impact The Election?]
MADDOW: The most interesting thing that I have seen about this in terms of how it's going to affect the public, is that Bloomberg did some polling on it and Bloomberg's poll found that 75% of people think that the Supreme Court will decide based on their political beliefs, not on the law. So, this – this may as much be a referendum on the Supreme Court and whether or not the Roberts court is so conservatively politicized that it will make a decision to hurt the President, rather than sticking closely to precedent here.
LAUER: If they don't, though, if they uphold this – this law, what's the effect on the President come re-election time in November?
MADDOW: I don't actually think it will have that much of an effect if it is upheld. I mean, I realize that the partisans who have – the people who have made this about partisan politics think that it will be the end-all-be-all for the election. But, if what the Republicans call ObamaCare, is upheld, then the President has still reformed health care and Republicans still hate it and we're back to where we are now.
LAUER: This open mic issue, okay? It happened yesterday. The President speaking to the Russian president, said, "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this can be solved but it's important for him, Putin, to give me space." "Yeah, I understand," replied the Russian president, "I understand your message about space." And then President Obama said, "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."
MADDOW: Yeah.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Open Mic; What Does Candid Comment Say About Obama?]
LAUER: Why shouldn't people think this is a disingenuous stand on foreign policy?
MADDOW: Well, what they're talking about is missile defense. And what he's saying is, "We're probably not going to make any further agreements or have any better – we're not going to make much progress in terms of talking about missile defense while I am in an election year."
LAUER: But it adds to the cynicism that people have. They say our leaders should take a stand on principle, not political vulnerability.
MADDOW: But the issue with arms control and the Russians is that the agreements that the President has been making with the Russians, the Senate will not follow. The Congress will not follow. And so, if you want to be realistic about it, the Congress and the Senate, in particular, is not going to follow him in an election year. So it's a little bit of a window into realpolitik and the way these guys really talk to each other. I don't think we learned anything new. But it's kind of interesting to see two leaders, you know, speaking unguardedly.

The MSM never mentions the politicization of the liberal justices. How else can they count on 4 votes from them while challenging the other 5 to be non-political. It's as if they accept that the liberal justices are there for the express purpose of judging politically.
Maddow is also completely wrong (Surprised?) when she says the conservative justices would vote "against precedent." There is no precedent for this case. Never before has the SCOTUS taken a case in which citizens would have to pay a fine for NOT participating in commerce.

Of course, no one in these friendly news venues will ask Maddow to justify that assertion.

"that 75% of people think that the Supreme Court will decide based on their political beliefs, not on the law."
Those 75% are correct. If the Constitution is followed, the decision will be 9-0 against the mandate. The problem lies in that we have to question if the Supreme Court will follow the Constitution, which is CLEARLY a limited-government document, or disregard it.
This mandate crap is such that it should have never passed Congress, and when even mentioned in Congress, should have been laughed at as some sort of joke. But, unfortunately common sense and the Constitution are not upheld, though every single Congressman and Senator takes the oath to do so and many have never read it or care to read it or care what's in it.

I'm sure that the poll reflects what most people who follow the Supreme Court decisions even casually know to be true: All the liberal justices will vote to uphold Obamacare, while at least 3 conservative justices vote against, and 1-2 become the "swing votes" that could go either way.
The Dems are COUNTING on the 4 liberal justices to be political in their process. It's what they WANT the Supreme Court to do, as long as decisions are in their favor.

For SCOTUS, the term is "Strict Constructionist"
Submitted by ctyankee on Tue, 03/27/2012 - 5:18pm.
While I didn't learn a lot in my High School US History class, I do remember that. The Supreme Court is not supposed to be partisan, i.e. Republican or Democrat. The labels "Liberal", "Conservative" or "Swing Vote" are misused by the MSM.
The correct term for a Supreme Court Justice that holds to the Letter of the US Constitution is "strict constructionist". The "Liberal" justices have a much looser interpretation of the Intent of the Constitution.
Do you remember a series called "Picket Fences"? Don't let the title fool you, the show had a left-wing political agenda. At the end of the show, the actor who played a lawyer would give a Civics lesson on the Supreme Court. He listed the names of the justices at that time. He would dismiss some as "Reagan Appointees" but he never mentioned who appointed the Liberal justices, whom he agreed with.

The liberals must be in doubt if they are already starting their propaganda campaign before the arguments have even been heard.
The propaganda queen and her cohorts will get serious after the case is presented, none know a thing about constitutional law but they will find likeminded pundits that for the most part know less than them to declare it are beyond doubt. It is easy to find a lawyer with dreams of grandeur and a very large ego to agree to any point.
The simple truth is they have a very weak argument and it is dispersed over a large area trying desperately to find something that will meet their requirements. The arguments to date and the suggested arguments are losers without any real merit and very little logic or basis. They liberals will not blame their weak cause or their poor choice of counsel but attempt to blame the court for seeing thru the propaganda and basing a decision on the law.

He might try suggesting Massachusetts law be overturned because that's where he got his inspiration.
But if he can't take something through the front door he will take it through the back, and if he can't take it through back door he will go through the basement, if the door is locked there he will break a window to smuggle something in. It's the Obama / Communist way: 'The ends justify the means'

Their marriage has often reminded me of the Clinton's. He got, I forget the term for a woman a gay man uses to pretend he's straight, with some Chicago connections. She saw a guy who was moving up in politics, and I doubt she had a whole lot of other offers.
They seem to play so affectionate in public that I doubt they are in private. Like Bill & Hill, they act when the cameras are rolling.

Submitted by Kingfish17 on Tue, 03/27/2012 - 2:16pm.
I have yet to read a liberal's argument for Obama Care, that is actually based on the Constitution. These liberals seem to think that the SCOTUS has the last "democratic" vote in a purely "democratic" country. There is no law. The only thing that matters is "democracy rules".
Give us your stuff.

they are using the commerce clause
Submitted by NOLAgirl on Tue, 03/27/2012 - 2:53pm.
as justification. Also, for precedent they are using a law from 1867 regarding taxation (which isn't a constitional justification, just legal precedent). They are also using the "necessary and proper" clause. IOW, they are grasping at straws.

Here An Advocate, There An Advocate
Submitted by rammingspeed on Tue, 03/27/2012 - 2:37pm.
Maddow carefully selects things (carefully ignoring other things) that will allow her to shape the story any way she wants. It's called advocacy journalism, which she and her fellows on the left are very good at. And proud of. Openly.

3 Branches
Submitted by feisty on Tue, 03/27/2012 - 2:51pm.
We have separation of powers, right?
Is the SC expected to vote so that it protects what our Fearless Leader wants?
I thought it was an independent branch of government -- the weakest of the three branches.
There is no precident. There are no grounds. There is nothing in the Constitution to support socialized health care.

What is it with this foul woman? She perpetually looks like she's either sneering, or smirking, or a combination of both. It conveys the impression of superiority, smugness, insolence and arrogance.
Oh wait - she's a liberal democrat.
They're ALL like that in the media.

Talk about a rush to judgement!
Submitted by needle on Tue, 03/27/2012 - 5:43pm.
Apparently as far as Maddow is concerned, the Supreme Court decision will have essentially nothing to do with the US Constitution itself.
With this "judgement" coming from this latter day female Solomon several months before any proper Supreme Court decision, Maddow unwittingly projects the "depths" of her regard for the constitutionality of anything.
What a surprise.
- Looking forward to the self-annihilation of the Manipulated Stories Machine.

"...hurt the president..." ??
Submitted by minky on Tue, 03/27/2012 - 6:15pm.
The Madcow has the BALLS to accuse the so-called "conservative" justices of making judicial decisions in order to "hurt the president"? So now the Madcow is being a co-narcissist of Obama's? An absolutely, stunningly incompetent analysis of the situation.

The War and Our Role as Educators
By Paul Rogat Loeb
Posted on his "Soul of a Citizen" Web site
In his essay, written on the eve of the war with Iraq, author
Paul Rogat Loeb tries to answer the question: "How should
we as educators respond to the war in Iraq?" He begins
with a campus anecdote from the first day of the Gulf War
in which a history professor asks his class to clear their
minds of world events because the point of the class is to
study medieval history. "Students who'd begun the class
visibly upset," Loeb relates, "were soon dutifully
taking notes."
Loeb argues that at this critical
juncture, students will take cues from educators: "Our
response may set a tone for how students view it for the rest
of their lives." He lists some essential points for educators
to keep in mind for dealing with the conflict, such as creating
"safe spaces" where students can express their grief,
give their true reactions, and acknowledge the true loyalties
they feel.
Loeb's essay serves as a thoughtful
primer for educators who face the difficult task of finding
the appropriate tone and moral response to guide students
through what may be-for many of them-their first mature encounter
with a war.

Earlier today, I posted a FanShot, comparing Jose Reyes' FanGraphs WAR Graph (by age) to that of Derek Jeter and Nomar Garciaparra. Here it is, again, (embiggen here):
At this point in Reyes' career, he tracks both Jeter and Nomar pretty well. Jeter, of course, continues upward. Nomar flattens out, doing a whole lot of nothing until his career peters out.
Which path is more likely? Who knows. But let's have some more fun with it.
Hit the jump for some purty graphs.
FIrst, I went to Jeter's B-R page and looked up his similar players. In focused on contemporary shortstops and chose Barry Larkin and Alan Trammel to fill out the graph. The results, below.
The really interesting thing about this graph is how similar all three non-Reyes players are. Reyes' 2011, if his hammy holds up, will help him keep pace with Jeter and even gain a bit on Trammell.
But what's hopeful/promising in all this is the slopes. They are all relatively the same. But then again, so was Nomar's at the time.
So, let's take a look at Nomar. His comps aren't contemporaries and shortstops, for the most part. I went with Miguel Tejada and Jeff Kent.
Kent and Tejada's graphs look alike. At age 34/35, when Nomar's career came to an end, all three ended up at the same general point. But the way they got there is very different. Kent/Tejada weren't at 20 WAR until age 30. Nomar was at 40 WAR by then and absent something horrific, so will Reyes.
This isn't a ton of evidence, but all together, there's a decent chance that Reyes will have an absolutely incredible 5 to ten years coming up.

17Abigail Breslin Is Now Fully Licensed to Sell You Cookies
Abigail Breslin was inducted into the Girl Scouts in what appears to be a publicity stunt for her new film, Nim's Island.
Dude, I'd totally forgotten about Girl Scouts. I was a Girl Scout. I remember the other girls and I, in, like, second grade, would go door-to-door all around the neighborhood selling cookies. Yup, just two or three short-skirted eight-year-olds, naively ringing doorbells, devoid of any adult supervision. Were there fewer child rapists around those days or were our parents just less aware of their existence? Today, girls sit in front of the Best Buy, practically bodyguarded by their mothers, or else the parents just drag the stupid cookie sheets into their work and pressure all their coworkers to buy a bunch.
My mom made me watch videos of when I was a little girl the other day. I'm talking, like, four years old, and I'm climbing up huge trees and jungle gyms and falling down flat on my ass and then getting up and trying again. No one is, you know, putting down the video camera to check to make sure I'm okay after falling ten feet out of a tree. I was horrified! I was like, "Mom! You just let me keep falling like that?" and she was like "Eh, it was a different time. And you turned out okay, didn't you?"
I don't know where I'm going with this. I don't know what Girl Scouts is today, but I imagine it's nothing like when I was a kid. When I was a little girl, you earned your right to be a Girl Scout. With your blood, sweat and tears, not by starring in some pansy-ass fantasy film. We had Arts and Crafts, beyotch, not Craft Services. Abigail Breslin better get her ass on the street and sell some fucking cookies if she wants to wear that sash with any pride.
Nah, I'm kidding. GSA (I guess it's not even GSA anymore … they're the Girls Scouts of the USA now) is a fantastic organization that does a lot of good work toward building confidence and leadership skills in young women. Learn more here.

250Dakota Fanning Refuses to Go Bald for Her Art
Dakota Fanning has dropped out of the film she was to star in with her kid sister, Elle, My Sister's Keeper. In the film, Dakota and Elle were to play on-screen sisters in the story about a young girl who sues for emancipation from her parents after she learns she was only conceived as a genetic match for her sister who is dying of some illness.
The role would have required Dakota to shave her head, which she reportedly refused to do, and she took her sister with her.
Seriously? They couldn't have just gotten her a bald cap?
Dakota will be replaced by Abigail Breslin, and Elle will be replaced by Sofia Vassilieva.

6SNL Sometimes is Funny
I know that this video isn't new to some of you…but for those that thought the "Dick in the Box" was the only funny thing on SNL in the past few months check out "The Dakota Fanning Show." I love Amy Poehler, she really rocks my world almost as much as Tina Fey. A little industry secret from the T…they are doing a movie together very soon! Yea!!!!
Amy as Dakota Fanning and Drew Barrymore as Abigail Breslin is just too funny for words. It is rare when SNL makes me laugh out loud so if you haven't checked this out please do. It is quite funny that while Dakota Fanning tries to push the limits of her acting chops Abigail has taken over as the sweet little girl people like to have appear on their red carpets in party dresses. Ah, youth fades honey, strike while the iron is hot.
It is totally safe for work and funny enough that you could foward this link to your friends and family…then they can find the boobs, va jay jay, and dirty posts from the Beeters on their own…

|Hot-shooting Musketeers repel Jefferson
|Monday, February 11, 2013 3:50 PM
DELPHOS — Fort Jennings used a strong first period Saturday night at The Stage, outscoring host Jefferson 18-8 in the span.
The Musketeers then held on the rest of the way, securing a 60-51 non-league boys hardwood triumph over the Wildcats.
Freshman Trey Smith earned his first varsity double-double with 15 markers and 11 rebounds, while senior Zach Ricker netted 15 points. Junior Austyin Jettinghoff added 10.
"We started off slowly, which young teams sometimes do. Plus, we had a game the night before and Jennings didn't; most coaches will tell you that's a concern in that situation," Jefferson coach Marc Smith noted. "That was the entire focus of our pre-game; get off to a quick start. We kept battling back but they hit a 3 to close the half for a 7-point game. They built it back up to double digits but we closed within three by the 4-minute mark of the fourth quarter. From then on, it was a 1- or 2-possession game until we had to start fouling in the last 30 seconds."
The Wildcats began to rally in the second period but could on;y get within 29-22 by the end of the half. "We got off quickly and we played better for the entire game when we do so. I'm not sure why," Fort Jennings mentor John Von Sossan said. "We're much better when our seniors: Kurt Warnecke (16 markers) and Brandon Kohli (14); play well but that's to be expected. When Chad (Recker) got hurt earlier this year, that was devastating to a team that didn't have a lot of depth. It's forced a number of younger players to get varsity time and they are learning, along with the other guys we have."
The Musketeers answered with a 16-12 third period to seize a 45-34 lead heading into the ultimate quarter.
The Wildcats closed within those three points but couldn't get any closer and eventually were forced to foul to lengthen the game.
Jefferson canned 15-of-42 shots, 1-of-12 downtown, for 45.7 percent and 20-of-23 foul shots (87.0%). They controlled 30 boards (8 offensive) and compiled eight turnovers and 19 fouls.
"We settled for too many jumpers in the early going and that cannot happen. We were much better at attacking the rim the second half and got to the line a lot more," Smith added. "We were 20-of-23 at the line, which is a great mark. We just didn't do it enough overall. Plus, they were 8-of-11 on 3-pointers. Most of them were contested and several were from way out, so give them credit for hitting them. That was the difference in the game. We're getting healthier now, outside of not having Nick (Fitch due to surgery). Ross (Thompson) isn't quite 100 percent from his surgery but he's getting his feet under him."
Fort Jennings downed 19-of-40 attempts, including a stellar 8-of-11 triples, for 47.5 percent and added 14-of-21 singles (66.7%). They concluded with 25 caroms (4 offensive), eight errors and 19 fouls.
Nick Von Sossan hit four bombs on his way to 16 counters for the visitors.
"Our shooting has been much better the last 12-13 games. In that span, the least we've shot was 42 percent; every game has been there or above," Von Sossan added. "Again, it's part of our learning process. For us, it comes down to us not getting enough shots to take advantage of our improved shooting. Turnovers weren't a problem tonight but they have been. We also played a team that is in the same boat as us, with injuries, a lack of depth and a lot of youth and inexperience. We've both been struggling."
Jefferson returns to action Friday at Bluffton and Fort Jennings visits Pandora-Gilboa Saturday.
Nick Von Sossan 16, Kurt Warnecke 16, Brandon Kohli 14, Connor Wallenhorst 7, Josh Wittler 4. Austin Kehres 3. Totals 11-8-14/21-60.
Austin Jettinghoff 4-1-10, Zach Ricker 3-9-15, Ross Thompson 3-2-8, Trey Smith 5-5-15, Dalton Hicks 0-3-3, Seth Wollenhaupt 0-0-0, Tyler Mox 0-0-0, Josh Teman 0-0-0. Totals 14-1-20/23-51.
Score by Quarters:
Ft. Jennings 18 11 16 15 - 60
Jefferson 8 14 12 17 - 51
Three-point goals: Fort Jennings 8-11 (Von Sossan 4, Warnecke 3, Wallenhorst), Jefferson 1-12 (Jettinghoff).
Assists: Fort Jennings 13, Jefferson 7 (Mox 3).
JV score: 26-25 (Jefferson).

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –An Albany industry honored south Georgia World War Two veterans at a Veterans Day luncheon.
27 men and women who served in the military during World War Two, most now in their late 80's or early 90's now, came together for a meal at the Miller Coors Plant.
These heroes at the event included 93 year old Jesse Piland, who served on the destroyer U.S.S. Russell and fought in 16 major battles.
Jesse Piland said "My ship was with the Yorktown. Big ships. We did it all."
And 89 year old Silas Barnes who fought at Corregider and spent more that three years as a prisoner of war.
Silas Barnes said "Think back then. You were only kids. We were mostly only 18, 19, 20 years old boys and young men. And we really didn't know how serious that war was really."
The Albany Herald hosted the veterans day luncheon to honor these members of the greatest generation.

No driver has ever won the Sprint Unlimited, a qualifying race and the Daytona 500 in a single season. But thanks to a victory in the first Budweiser Duel, which follows his dominating win in the Unlimited earlier in the week, Kevin Harvick will attempt to become the first driver to complete the Daytona Speedweeks sweep.
After sliding back early on, Harvick begin picking his way through the field as Trevor Bayne asserted himself early on as the driver to beat.
But a pass of Bayne on Lap 37 gave Harvick a lead he would not relinquish in the 60-lap event and just as he did five days before, Harvick held off Greg Biffle to claim his second Daytona win in five days.
"Obviously at the beginning of the race, got ourselves stuck in the middle trying to make something happen," Harvick said post-race. "Hadn't been in that particular position before to see what was going to happen. Didn't have a lot of help. Just one car in front of us. Kind of fell to the back.
"They got single file. I think there were four or five cars started coming on the bottom. I thought we needed to at least try to make something happen. We were able to side draft and break them up one or two at a time."
The win, Harvick's first ever in a Daytona qualifying race, will place him third on the grid for the "Great American Race" -- in prime position to claim his second victory in the Daytona 500.
Daytona 500 pole-sitter Danica Patrick finished 17th.
Bayne, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin and Regan Smith were all involved in a multi-car wreck with seven laps to go.
The complete finishing order of Budweiser Duel No. 1 is below:
1) Kevin Harvick
2) Greg Biffle
3) Juan Pablo Montoya
4) Jimmie Johnson
5) Kurt Busch
6) Tony Stewart
7) Brad Keselowski
8) Casey Mears
9) Dale Earnhardt Jr.
10) Joey Logano
11) Bobby Labonte
12) David Gilliland
13) Joe Nemechek

News: Lauryn Hill Refuses To Stay Put After Jail Release, Ready To Pack Bags
Monday, Oct 7, 2013 6:01PM
Days after being released from a three-month jail term, The Fugees' Lauryn Hill is reportedly ready to hit the road and put her vocal skills to work.
According to reports, Hill has had a request to tour next month in light of being expected to serve time in home detention approved by a judge.
Lauryn has been confined to 3-months of home detention as part of her sentence for tax evasion -- but here's the thing ... She wants to go on tour from Nov. 15th through Dec. 31st, so she asked the judge to give her a pass so she could tour -- and we've learned the judge is down with it. As we reported ... Lauryn was freed from jail last week and she wants to resume her career STAT. Lauryn -- who has a new single out -- can now start signing on at specific venues for the concerts. But prison officials will still keep tabs on her -- she'll have to run all the details -- dates, cities, hotels -- past her probation officer. On New Year's Day ... the party's over, and Lauryn will have to return home to complete her home detention sentence. (TMZ)
Details of Hill's recent release in conjunction with the premiere of a new track called "Consumerism" spread last week.
After serving a three-month sentence for tax evasion, Lauryn Hill is being released from prison later today and is marking the occasion with a new single called "Consumerism." Hill speed-raps through a laundry list of societal ills over a chaotic rhythm that's more Death Grips than "Killing Me Softly." Her pointed voice brutally targets "corporate greed in Jesus' name," decrying ageism, sexism, racism, fascism, "compromised commercialism" and "neo-McCarthyism." Hill's release follows a controversial three-month sentence for failing to file tax returns on over $2 million in income over a two-year period beginning in 2005. Leading up to her incarceration, she cited historical racism as one of the bigger reasons for her tax woes. On a brighter note, she recently inked a deal with Sony and a new record is reportedly in the works. (Rolling Stone)
Although brief, Hill publicly spoke out from behind bars back in July.
Ms. Hill has received a lot mail, and would like to let everyone know that she is doing well. She also asked me to pass along this message: "I have known since very young to look for the purpose and lesson in everything, including the trials. Although it has taken some adjustment, I cannot deny the favor I have encountered while in here, and general warm reception from a community of people who despite their circumstances, have found unique ways to make the best of them. Thank you for the letters of concern and well wishes that I receive in the mail every day. Although I may not be able to write everyone back, please know that they have been received, read, acknowledged, and appreciated. With Love back, MLH" (Lauryn Hill's Tumblr)
A week prior, details of Lauryn's first meal options surfaced online.
Lauryn Hill is living the PRISON HIGH LIFE ... at least compared to Aaron Hernandez -- and TMZ has the menu to prove it. Let's start with their first meals ... When Lauryn checked into Federal Correctional Institute in Connecticut on Monday to serve her 3-month sentence for tax evasion, she was served up with some tasty BBQ pulled pork with a side of carrots, peas and sweet potatoes. To wash it down: she was able to choose from an array of juices or milk. WHO'S HUNGRY? Compare that to Hernandez ... whose first meal at Bristol County Jail included scrambled eggs and grits, and chop suey with green beans and bread. Prison chop suey? No thanks. (TMZ)
After being sentenced over the spring, Lauryn officially started her prison bid on July 8.
Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill began serving a three-month prison sentence on Monday for failing to pay about $1 million in taxes over the past decade. Hill reported to federal prison in Danbury, said Ed Ross, a spokesman for the federal Bureau of Prisons. Inmates at the minimum security prison live in open dormitory-style living quarters and are expected to work jobs such as maintenance, food service or landscaping. (USA Today)

Coping With Divorce & Infidelity For Women
Most divorces involve some drama. Divorce as a result of infidelity is traumatic. But Vikki Stark, a family therapist for 27 years, has identified an extra-traumatic type of divorce, which she calls Wife Abandonment Syndrome (WAS).
According to Stark, Wife Abandonment Syndrome is a pattern of behavior on the part of a husband who leaves his wife out-of-the-blue without ever having told her that he was unhappy in the marriage. Following his sudden departure, he replaces the caring he'd typically shown her with anger and aggression. He often moves directly in with a girlfriend, leaving his bewildered wife totally devastated. This will undoubtedly be the defining event in her life, and although recovery is a struggle, many women find that it forces them to reinvent themselves in positive and exciting new ways.
Starks book Runaway Husbands (2010) is a result not only of her study of 400 wives who were abandoned worldwide. In face to face and online interviews, one of the remarkable things was how consistent peoples experiences were, says Stark.
Here are five of the ten hallmarks of WAS that Stark identifies in Runaway Husbands:
Reasons given for husbands decision to leave are nonsensical, exaggerated, trivial or fraudulent.
The husbands behavior changes so radically that it seems to his wife that he has become a cruel and vindictive stranger.

The best place to stay in Geneva.
We arrived at the hotel at around 11am, although check in time was at 2pm we were allowed to get into our rooms due to my Priority Club Membership, Nice. The receptionist was very helpfull, they all had answers when we quized them about Genevas finests. After registering, key cards were handed out and up we went to our rooms. The rooms were well appointed and ours had a great view of the Lake. After a quick freshen up we went to the lobby to meet our friends. The hotel seemed like it was renovated just recently, the lobby furniture was modern but tastefull. The hotel has rooms facing the Lake, try to ask availability during check in. Theres a gym and a swimming pool for all the health buffs out there. Theres a bus stop near the hotel from which you can commute to the city center.

Smart Objects are one of the most powerful features added to Photoshop. If you don't use them, you really should. They come in handy for a variety of situations and only have one real drawback which I'll get into at the end of this post. For now, lets look at 6 great uses uses for Smart Objects.
To turn a layer or group of layers into a Smart Object, select them and then right-click and select "Convert to Smart Object" on the dropdown. The layers are now protected inside the Smart Object and anything done to the object will not damage the layers.
- Scaling and Rotating an Image – the below video shows what happens when you scale a standard layer versus a Smart Object. The smart object retains the resolution it was created at while the standard layer becomes pixilated. This is great when working on a project that requires you to scale the graphics to compensate for text content. Scaling a regular layer slightly may not show any visible changes but the pixels will be modified and eventually the clarity of the image will deteriorate.
This also applies to rotating an image. Rotating a regular image anything but 90 degree angles will affect the pixels. See the following link to view an experiment I made on the adverse effects of over-rotating an image
- Smart Filters – Filters applied to Smart Objects become Smart Filters and retain their settings. So later on, you can open up your Gaussian blur and increase or reduce its effect instead of having to guess what the prior setting was.
- Cropping – Cropping a document won't destroy a Smart Object. You can crop a document to the size you need and still have the non-visible areas of the Smart Object available if you need to resize or move the image.
To see these first three bullets in action, click here to view my Video about Smart Objects.
- Color Conversions RBG – CMYK – All the color information is also protected inside the Smart Object. So, converting a file back and forth between RGB and CMYK for instance, won't damage the colors. I did a photoshop experiment here that shows the affects of converting a image too many times.
- Duplicate Smart Objects – A smart object can be duplicated several times and any changes made to one of the objects will update all of them. This could be used for pedals in a flower or stars in a sky for instance.
- Image Warp – This deserves a tutorial on its own. Warping a smart image allows you to maintain the warp settings so that you can modify and tweak them later on. Anchor points and handles remain in place so repositioning the wrap doesn't require you to start over. The Smart image allows you to change the graphic inside of it as well if you need to warp several layers in the exact same way. For instance, you can warp a graphic to appear as if its on a book page and have the ability to apply that same warp to other images.
Ok, so what's the drawback? Well, smart objects tend to make large file sizes. For instance, if you're working on a little 100kb icon and drop a 9mb high resolution image in as a smart object…that little PSD file will now be 9.1mbs. In these situations, I'll usually resize the high resolution image down to about 3 to 5 times the size of the icon. So for a 200 pixel icon, I'd resize a photo to around 600 pixels to 1000 pixels, just in case I need to scale it larger in the future.
Let me know if you have any questions.

How lucky we Oklahoma anglers are to live in a state with lots of varied fishing opportunities!
Thanks to an abundance of water, especially in the eastern half of Oklahoma, we can fish year-round for a variety of species.
Even in the coldest winter and the hottest summer months we have lakes and streams that offer up black bass, crappie, walleyes, sauger, catfish, sunfish and more. We even have trout, thanks to our Wildlife Department's stocking program, as well as a few municipal trout ponds where rainbows are stocked each winter.
Let's look at some of the most promising options, month by month, throughout 2012. The options listed here, based on experience, are A-1. But they certainly aren't the only times and places when and where these species can be caught.
Thank goodness for total-electric homes and businesses.
No, I'm not a stockholder in an electric utility company. I say that because in midwinter when the weather is cold, lots of electricity is needed for running all those electrical heating devices, just as it is needed in the summer for air conditioning. That means that hydroelectric dams are often generating power in midwinter, and when the turbines are running, that usually means good fishing in the tailrace waters below.
Below the dams on the Arkansas and Red rivers, as well as on the Canadian, Neosho and Kiamichi, striped bass move into the tailrace waters to feed on dead or wounded shad sucked through the turbines and discharged into the stilling basins below. Opening the turbines can be like ringing the dinner bell for hungry stripers. They wait in deep holes downstream, and then crowd into the spillway area when the water starts flowing.
Tailrace fishing is a specialty. It usually means using longer rods and making very long casts to deliver baited hooks or lures to the most productive areas. Anglers fish from the shorelines using rods of 9 to 16 feet, or fish from boats tied to the buoyed cables that mark the upper limits for navigation below the dams.
Some anglers also use small, remote-controlled boats to carry their baits up into the stilling basins. Or, when the wind is favorable, they use balloons as floats and let the wind push their baits toward desired areas.
Live shad or big, lively minnows or small sunfish can be productive baits.
At times when using live bait, an angler might catch as many catfish as stripers, for the catfish also come to dine when the turbines are running.
Those who prefer using lures may choose big topwater plugs, jerkbaits or small jigs fished beneath casting corks. All of those can be effective at times and it's a good idea to have all of them available.
At some of the dams you might also catch big striped/white bass hybrids mixed in with the stripers, or lots of big white bass.
The best-known tailrace areas for striper fishing include Kaw, Keystone, Webbers Falls and Kerr dams on the Arkansas River. The smaller dams below Kerr can also be productive. Eufaula and Fort Gibson dams are excellent at times. Sometimes good action is available below the Hugo Lake Dam for stripers that have moved up from the Red River.
And good action for hybrids can sometimes be found below Oologah Dam, Pensacola Dam at Grand Lake, and the Markham Ferry Dam at Lake Hudson. One other area worth trying is the low-water dam in midtown Tulsa, on the Arkansas River, at 31st Street.
Wintertime crappie fishing can be excellent at many Oklahoma reservoirs in February, but one of my tried-and-true favorites is big ol' Lake Eufaula. That 102,000-acre lake is loaded with manmade brushpiles, which are the keys to finding crappie at this time of year — before the crappie move to shorelines to spawn.
A good sonar unit is invaluable for pinpointing the location of offshore brushpiles that lie beneath the surface. Marking the locations of brushpiles with a GPS unit makes it much easier to return to those spots later.
Jigs or minnows are both effective, although there definitely seem to be days when one works better than the other. Over the years I've found that smaller chenille-and-marabou jigs seem to work well early in the season, and that tube jigs and small grubs start working better as spawning season nears and the fish move toward the shores.
Largemouth Bass
March weather in Oklahoma is unpredictable. We can have long stretches of mild temperatures and sunshine, or late-season blizzards with lots of sub-freezing temperatures. But unless we're having an unusually harsh spell of weather in March, that's usually the month when bass in ponds and small lakes really seem to get aggressive.
While you might coax a strike or two with topwaters or plastic worms, I recommend using small spinnerbaits or jigs and working the shallows, especially on the downwind side of the ponds on sunny days. When the sun warms the surface waters and the wind blows the warmest water toward the downwind shore, it can be several degrees warmer there than on the lee side. That minor temperature difference often seems to make the bass more cooperative.
It is estimated that Oklahoma has more than 200,000 farm ponds covering roughly a half-million acres. Just make sure to get permission to fish the ponds on private property.
I fished for crappie for many years before someone taught me how to "doodlesock" in the shallows for spawners in the spring. But after I learned to probe flooded willow thickets and shoreline bushes for spawning slabs, Grand Lake quickly became one of my favorite spots for that technique.
Many of Grand Lake's tributaries have big stretches of shoreline covered with willows. And many Grand shorelines are lined with manmade, shallow-water brushpiles. In the upper lake, along the edges of the Neosho River channel, there are lots of laydown logs mired in the silt.
All of those places attract spawning crappie in the springtime and it's possible to catch a limit of crappie and never fish more than a couple of feet below the surface.
Tie on a jig and drop a foot or two of line down from the end of the rod; work the jig vertically along side willow trunks, logs, or in between the branches of buttonbush.
I like to beach my boat, or tie it to a tree, and hop over the side while wearing waders. It's easier to probe every little nook and cranny carefully while wading. Of course you can do it from the deck of your boat, but because it's really close-quarters fishing, you might spend as much time fighting the trolling motor as you do fishing if you're doodlesocking on a windy day.
Crappie may spawn anywhere from late February to mid-May in Oklahoma, but for most northeastern Oklahoma lakes the action usually peaks in mid-April to early May.

Attack victim: 'I thought I was going to die'
Donald Fisher describes the attack he endured Thursday morning while at his Manchester apartment Thursday evening. Behind him is a pillow stained by blood from a head wound. (TIM BUCKLAND/Union Leader)
"I thought, for sure, with the amount of blood I was losing, I was going to bleed out. I thought I was going to die," he said Thursday evening while nursing a head wound that continued to seep blood despite the stitches he was given at Elliot Hospital.
Fisher, 63, said he'd come home from picking up a prescription for Oxycodone when he was approached just before 9:30 a.m. by two men with a picture of a lost dog.
They asked him if he'd seen the animal. When he got closer to look at the photo, they attacked him and robbed him of his medication, he said.
"I let them get too close to me," he said. "That's the trouble with me. I'm just too nice of a guy."
He said one of them knocked him down after hitting him in the face. When he was on the ground, they started hitting his head with a pipe.
"They really started bashing my head in," said Fisher, who suffered a concussion.
Police later recovered a pipe nearby in a parking lot on Maple Street.
The men ripped a Rite Aid bag containing a prescription for Oxycodone from the man's hands.
One of the men grabbed the bottle and the two took off north on Maple Street, according to police.
Officer Chris Biron and police dog Colt tracked the men, and headed north on Maple Street and east on Prescott Street to the dead-end bordered by a fence line encompassing the rear of a Lincoln Street business. Clothing located in that area was recovered as evidence since its appearance was consistent with the description of the attackers provided by witnesses, police said.
The first man was described as white, in his mid- to late-20s, about 6 feet tall with a thin build.
He was wearing a light blue, hooded sweatshirt and dark jeans, police said.
The second man was also white, in his mid- to late-20s, about 6 feet tall with a thin build. He was clean-shaven with acne on his face, wearing a white sweatshirt with black graphics, a black baseball cap and dark jeans, police said.
The two were last seen headed north on Lincoln Street toward Hayward Street, police said. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 668-8711. Anonymous tips can be made through the Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org.
Last month, Fisher was involved in an incident at his home that attracted police attention when he used his "stun cane" to subdue a woman who was allegedly attacking a roommate's daughter.
In that Feb. 21 incident, Fisher zapped a woman armed with a knife with a stunning device he had attached to his cane to try to prevent her from attacking his roommate's daughter, police said.
The not-so-powerful device did not stop Kelly McAndrew, 37, but arriving officers did.
McAndrew was arrested and charged with simple assault and criminal threatening.
