MSNBC's Wagner Deliberately Distorts Santorum Swipe at Obama to Be Anti-College Tirade
If you were to believe MSNBC's Alex Wagner -- which, I'm sure you don't -- GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum is anti-college, believing the acquisition of higher education to be a mark of snobbery.
"Is it hypocritical, given Rick Santorum and the fact that he holds not one, not two, but three degrees -- more than the president, -- for him to allege that having a higher education is a form of snobbery?" Wagner pressed Santorum campaign spokeswoman Alice Stewart on today's edition of Now with Alex Wagner. I don't know what they teach at Brown University, where Wagner went to college, but one hopes it has nothing to do with Wagner's deliberate mischaracterization of Santorum's recent swipe at President Obama.
Far from saying that being college-educated is form of snobbery, what the former Republican senator said at an Americans for Prosperity event on Saturday -- and Wagner's producers aired earlier in the segment -- was as follows (emphases mine):
SANTORUM, first clip: President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob!
SANTORUM, second clip: There are good, decent men and women who go out and work hard everyday and put their skills to test that aren't taught by some liberal college professor that [is] trying to indoctrinate them.
"Before we went to break, we were discussing Rick Santorum's latest comments equating wanting to send your children to four-year college with snobbery," Wagner repeated at the open of segment following the Stewart interview.
Wagner may disagree with Santorum's rhetoric on the campaign trail, but nothing in those remarks suggests that Santorum believes a college education in and of itself is snobby or that parents desiring to send their kids to college is snobby.
An Ivy League-educated journalist like Wagner should be able to accurately and fairly report on the news, even if she's offering commentary in disagreement with it.
"I dare say what you are characterizing as President Obama telling people what to do is also known as the American Dream," Wagner lectured Stewart after she defended her boss's criticism of President Obama. "Many people in this country think that sending their children to college is the achievement of something in this country," Wagner added.
As to Wagner's take on the American Dream, the Library of Congress might beg to differ, noting that historian James Truslow Adams coined the term in a 1931, defining the dream as one of "a social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."
The essence of the American Dream is highly individualistic and divorced from European concepts of class hierarchy, Adams added, where the individual is "able to grow to fullest development... unhampered by the barriers which had been erected in older civilizations, unrepressed by social orders which had developed for the benefits of classes rather than for the simple human being of each and every class."
It's up to the individual, not a president or any politician, to decide what his or her "fullest stature" and "fullest development" is and to pursue it. That was Santorum's point and it fits perfectly with Adams's classical definition of the American Dream.

It has nothing to do with ease or difficulty. Some people just don't want to go to college. Why should someone who chooses a vocational school to be a carpenter or a plumber be considered less successful than someone with a bachelor's degree in political science or art history?

I'm not talking about wanting to do something. I'm talking about dumbing down college or anything else. For example, I wanted to play pro baseball, but I sucked. Maybe MLB needs to let me play and give me a free walk every fourth at bat, just so I can say that I got to first base. That would be an exciting game.
Many people cannot master trades. Besides, these days I'd consider the plumber and carpenter route to be more successful than poli-sci or art history. I'm not in favor of paying for stupid people to go to college, regardless of their dreams, and I don't want a stupid person working on my brakes, either.

No Republican can win in this media climate. If they don't think women should get birth control for free, they are "denying birth control to women." If they don't think every kid needs or wants to go to college, they are "anti-college."
According to Wagner and other liberals, apparently the ONLY way to get stature is from a college degree. Forget about recognizing one for what he is.

"No Republican can win in this media climate." While difficult for a Republican to win in the current media climate, I think it's very do-able. Check out this recent poll in USA Today. If Rick Santorum can lead in a national poll, at this stage of the game, with the most negative press imaginable, then come this fall, it's very do-able for any Republican to beat Obama.
The interesting thing to postulate, would be that if the media was flipped upside down in it's coverage, would Obama even get 30% of the vote?

Submitted by stratman on Mon, 02/27/2012 - 6:17pm.
Santorum made his point in a boneheaded way. It was red meat to the specific crowd he was talking to. I don't believe Santorum meant college is in itself snobbish. Nor have I seen proof that Obama meant if one doesn't go to college then you are less, including not a good and decent person.
Santorum got wound up and blurted out what he thought would work best for him. His 'snobbish' comment was pandering to that particular audience and was incorrect. While the angle of his attack was wrong, his intended message of a good and decent life is not determined by attendance in college is correct.
IMO, Santorum is calculating as are all politicians and more inartful than some, hence the explainations required to clarify actual missteps (not media-made tempests).
Simmer down, Rick. You've got the momentum, the polls and the message. Now look presidential.

I disagree.
Submitted by motherbelt on Mon, 02/27/2012 - 9:49pm.
I think his "What a snob" comment was right on; nothing "boneheaded" about it. Liberals think a college degree is the minimum threshold for success.
The fact that it was tailored to that audience doesn't make it wrong.
It's education inflation. Entry level jobs that used to require a high school diploma and maybe some experience now require a college degree. Positiions that used to require a Bachelor's Degree now require a Master's.
Obama frequently implies that one "sine qua non" of middle class "success" is college education for one, and for one's kids. He never says "if they want to go."

Remedial Education

And to expound on your points, motherbelt: Having a high school diploma is no guarantee that someone can read at a high school level. The amount of remedial education that goes on in college is extremely large, and sadly, purchased with lent money, when their public education should have taught those basic skills to begin with.

I welcome other explanations and the potential to change my mind after reflection. Like Mark Levin says, I would vote for an orange juice can over Obama. Hell, I'd vote for Hillary over Obama. (yeah, it's that bad) So, while I will vote for Santorum in the General Election if he is the candidate, and he's ocean's apart better than Hillary or the orange juice can, I am not convinced he is the best choice to get the job done once in office.
The fact that it was tailored to that audience doesn't make it wrong.
Either Santorum came up with the snob comment on the fly or it was calculated in advance - and poorly performed. Either way, snarky comments in this type of setting - a political rally - are red meat pandering. I think you are spinning by calling it tailor made.
Using class warfare to denounce class warfare was childish. You might as well pull Hitler on Obama next because you're bag of tricks is running out. Santorum was going for reverse-snobbism which is like reverse-racism. It's still racism and it's still snobby. It was boneheaded because Obama has not said this and Rick did not need to go there to make his excellent point. Hence it was pandering.
Education inflation is not Obama's fault nor is it a reason to not go to college. Higher education has long been a means to get ahead in life, for majorities and minorities, rich, poor or middle class. It is not necessarily snobby to want more education let alone achieve it.
You may be correct that Obama is snobby on education, but I have difficulty finding him so because he didn't qualify his comments on higher education with "if they want to go". This is one time I will not take him to task for what he specifically did not say.

"Another Point"
Submitted by mad53PA on Mon, 02/27/2012 - 6:26pm.
I have a son who is a senior in high school. I recently went to a "career open house" and one of the points made by more than one guidance and career counselor was this:
In today's economy, a college degree is no longer a guarantee of employment. If your son or daughter is considering a trade school or looking at other types of training for specific job requirements, don't discourage them.
The fact of the matter is that they would have an opportunity to have a skill that is in great demand today (electrician, plumber, mechanic etc).
Times have changed and Santorum is right. If I had to do it all over again, I would have found a trade. Hell, I have a friend who is an investment banker and lives large. Went to his home over the weekend and met some of his neighbors. One owned an asphalt company, and another had his own electrical contracting firm.
The only "snoot" here is Wagner.

Higher education snobbery? Oh yes, it is there.
Submitted by drsamherman on Tue, 02/28/2012 - 12:21am.
We hear this all the time in medicine, where a physician who graduated from Harvard or Hopkins is assumed to be "better" practitioner. I am not saying both medical schools are not fine institutions, but their ratings as medical schools are based more on their research funding and number of academic physicians they produce and less on the quality of professional instruction they provide. Each physician is taught at a common level to attain licensure through the appropriate process. Each school or college of medicine is accredited to roughly the same standards. What is more important is the quality of post-graduate medical education and the ability of the physicians trained in those programs to produce outstanding clinical results. Academic medicine is about research grants, and it is a "bring in the dough or out you go" world. Sorry, but the majority of physicians did not attend medical school to be shut in a laboratory producing NIH grant applications and articles for journals.
The same type of academic snobbery exists in every profession, whether law, medicine, pharmacy, nursing, etc., but it is most pronounced in law and medicine. I am clinical faculty (e. g. the unpaid kind) at four medical schools in Texas. I train medical students and psychiatry and neurology residents alike, and I have been offered full time academic positions in the past. Problem is, at heart I am a clinician who likes treating patients and I am uninterested in the frippery that goes with the ivory tower. My patient load is roughly 75% higher than any given academic psychiatrist or neurologist holding a full time appointment, but at least I don't have to go begging for NIH money or play the political games they do.

Everyone Has To Pass The Boards
Submitted by stratman on Tue, 02/28/2012 - 1:01am.
My opinion is certain schools facilitated learning with better prepared notes for the student and/or gifted lecturers. I recall wasting time finding information because the syllabus sucked, the lecturer sucked, the required textbook sucked, and the class note sucked. Example: Embryology. Maybe Harvard's Embryo sucked too. Then again, maybe it's Embryo that sucks no matter where you go. ;-)
For many, eventually it's what you do after graduating that counts with your peers, not what school you went to.
The following is for everyone. I'm sure DrSam's heard it.

The "teaching to the board" proposition?
Submitted by drsamherman on Tue, 02/28/2012 - 11:08am.
Not only scary, but much reflected in the newer medical schools which don't even bother trying to hide it. Any health care professional educational program which teaches just enough to pass the boards should have its accreditation re-assessed.
For those on the board who are not licensed professionals, the point of solid education in that profession is that it provides you with tools that facilitate life-long learning about new advances in science, new ways to apply the "art" of your profession as well as evaluating and proposing new ways and new considerations. The whole point of a profession is to advance the level of what you can do for your patient/client. It is NOT to pass the board and then good luck with the rest.

The Boards
Submitted by stratman on Tue, 02/28/2012 - 6:47pm.
I meant that the Boards are the minimum one must perform in order to be a physician. I wasn't thinking at all about teaching to pass the test, but the phrase "you'll need to know this for the Boards" or some similar comment is not uncommon in schools. Additionally, the results of Step I of the current boards, or earlier iterations of the test, could be used to determine what subjects you need further study.
Teaching for the Boards would be a mistake. I agree it's about a foundation of knowledge, methods of assembling, filtering and applying knowledge, and honing the skills for life-long learning.
One of the worst instructors taught Embryo. We already had him in the anatomy lab. Never wore gloves. First day of Embryo he had several jars containing preservative and conceptuses which he plucked out with his bare hands to show the class. His lectures were confusing and his clarifications rarely clarified. His syllabus was nihilistic and worthless. His tests were abysmally written. The Unabomber's manifesto made more sense. Student dissatisfaction was commonplace and stretched over years. Administration was aware. He probably had tenure and/or good money grants.

It's campaign season and money talks, but demagoguery
Submitted by Jer on Tue, 02/28/2012 - 1:21pm.
is the real coin of the realm. And Santorum seems determined not to be outspent in that category:
Obama's statement on college education, made in his first speech to a joint session of Congress in 2009, is easy to check. The president, noting the success of the GI Bill after World War II, said the United States should seek to once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world:
"And so tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. This can be community college or a four-year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma. And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It's not just quitting on yourself, it's quitting on your country — and this country needs and values the talents of every American."
Hmm…that sounds like Obama is talking about more than just a four-year college; he simply says "one year or more" and includes community college, vocational training or an apprenticeship on his list of possibilities.
Indeed, compare Obama's 2009 quote with this one:
"There's technical schools. There's additional training, vocational training. There's skills and apprenticeships. There's all sorts of things that people can do to upgrade their skills, to be very productive and great workers here in America who provide for their families and build their community."
That actually wasn't Obama; it was Santorum, offering his alternative to college on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." We have a hard time discerning much of a difference, and Santorum's campaign did not respond to a request for an explanation. [my bold]
True, the preceding is provided by the Washington Post. But I have yet to see a shred of evidence corroborating Santorum's version, viz., Obama the Snob..."want[ing] everybody...to go to college" [so they can be indoctrinated by liberal professors].

But in this case Santorum proved to be the liar in chief...a point which the Parade article merely reinforces. So, thanks for linking it.
By the way, even Charles Krauthammer believes Santorum's recent foot-in-mouth statements cost him the win in Michigan's primary:
"You know that attack on Kennedy, the speech he made in 1960 on religion, and Santorum said it made him want to throw up. He talked about college, the fact that he said Obama was trying to push it for everyone that reflected elitism, snobbery, and indoctrination. There's a point there about liberal higher education but it was extreme and overstated," Krauthammer continued. "And on contraception, an issue which has been decided, settled in the country a half century ago, he's on the wrong side of that. And you saw that in the women's vote! Santorum came dead even on the men vote. And the women's vote he lost by 5% and that's what cost him the election. And I think you saw that reflected in the speech he made. What did he talk about? His mother, his wife, and his daughter, and he spoke about them as independent and professional trying to undo the damage he had done in the gender gap. So I think that remains the story. Santorum had his shot. He will have one more shot I think in Ohio. but again, Romney, slow, steady, unspectacular, is the one who sort of remains standing when all the wind blows away and the sand disappears."
Maybe you should take your "paper thin" argument up with Dr. Krauthammer and let him school you.

They always showed disdain for those students who just wanted to continue vo-tech training and get a skilled laborer job.

I don't enjoy trying to defend Nick Broomfield. His documentary style is an acquired taste, and I don't always know how to put my finger on what I like about him. What I do know is that people should never go into his films expecting something other than a Nick Broomfield film. Otherwise you're one of the millions disappointed with "Kurt & Courtney" and "Biggie & Tupac." And you'll be disappointed with his latest, "Sarah Palin: You Betcha!" (co-directed with longtime collaborator Joan Churchill), which returns him to his trademark form of first-person investigative cinema after a couple brilliant ventures into more reenacted realities. At times he is more obnoxiously bumptious here, unfortunately more comparable to Michael Moore than usual, but like Moore's main problem it's the size of the subject that hurts him the most here. Veering towards the worst of "stalk-umentary" awkwardness (I now see that Churchill also worked on "Tell Them Who You Are," which is interesting), the doc occasionally made me embarrassed for both Broomfield and my own fandom of him. From my capsule review at Movies.com:
However, I can't really recommend the film to anyone who doesn't already like the filmmaker and onscreen character of Nick Broomfield (Kurt & Courtney; Biggie and Tupac). Even then he's obviously pursuing the impossible here, though I believe he has a better chance getting the cooperation of Palin than he did Courtney Love. Ultimately it's a decent look at the price of talking, in more ways than one, but it doesn't have an ending let alone any final point.
I tend to concentrate on what documentaries are doing rather than what they're superficially about, and so that "price of talking" theme running through "SPYB!" has stuck with me since seeing the film at the Toronto International Film Festival more than the initial feeling I had of, "well, I've really learned nothing about Palin from this movie, so it's pointless." Since he first put himself in front of the camera more than twenty years ago, Broomfield's works have been primarily about the filmmaking process and the difficulty of getting anything conclusive out of the controversial subjects he tackles. There's nothing wrong with this meta sort of reflexive investigation or experiment-based documentary if done right (see "Roger and Me," "GasLand," "Super Size Me" and "Paul Williams: Still Alive" for great examples since Broomfield began his first-person style). And when his brand of filmmaking becomes problematic, whether with his ethically debatable on-camera pay-offs or his complicated relationships with his subjects (see his two films on Aileen Wuornos), is when it's at its most interesting.
Nothing in "SPYB!" is more revealing or fascinating about the mode, or even about Broomfield's specific shtick or personality within it, than what we've seen in his past efforts. However, some of those problematic practices he's known for do take noteworthy turns. At one point he films himself on the phone with a representative for Levi Johnston in an attempt to get an interview, and the fee is outrageous and hardly something only Broomfield would face as a filmmaker or journalist. We meet people who will talk, many of whom have already faced negative effects of doing so prior to speaking about Palin here, and on the other side we see how Broomfield pays a price of his own by talking to these people (and possibly by making a doc like this at all). It becomes clear the impossibility of not just getting the cooperation of Palin directly but of making a fair and balanced film about her. No matter what, certain viewers (and especially those who won't view it) will see "SPYB!" as a hit piece, a negative portrait. But the "you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't" conundrum of reaching out to this or that side of a story is key in many documentaries, only to a heightened, more noticeable degree here.
There is something of value here, you betcha. Just perhaps not what most of you will be looking for.
"Sarah Palin: You Betcha!" is now playing in NYC and LA.

Somebody wrote a book called "What you think about me is none of my business".
With the exception of juries, that just might be true.

If you haven't as yet, see "Take Shelter" when it lands at a theater near you.
You'll see what's going on inside the thought-tormented minds of people who
create blogs like "Palin's Dirty Little Secret" and those who find it creditable.

What a hoot! You are giddy over "unbiased coverage of Palin", you haven't seen the film, and you use your comment to hawk your biased blog with the same jarring sound as the street dentists of Jaipur.
AJSteele | October 1, 2011 3:08 AM
Making a film that "exposes" Sarah Palin for excessive text messaging, not being a real basketball star, trying weed and gossip about a one night stand is really embarrassing -to Nick Broomfield. Broomfield has to carry the load of hate in his heart everyday. Actually uncovering a monumental issue of substance is what a true documentary is about.
All this desire by some in the public to mock others based on rumours and individual flaws is a discrace. People act like they are looking for "laughs" when in fact non of the Palin subject matter is really funny, it's about hurting and damaging someone because they don't like them. The culture is swimming in this and it's time to take a look in the mirror before you cast a stone, myself included.

@Kentuckian: Nick Broomfield didn't write a book about Palin. Why do Palin's supporters always seem so angry, misguided and misinformed?
I don't see how Broomfield can influence American politics. It's not like he's produced something shocking, or is revealing anything people don't already know about the former governor.
Kentuckian | September 30, 2011 9:44 AM
Broomfield is a far-left liberal socialist, who loves Obama and hates Sarah Palin. His book is a political piece of lies, and gossip. Another hit piece on Gov. Palin. The only dummies who believe his crap is the liberals,who all want to destroy Gov. Palins credibility, for political reasons. Gov. Palins 24,000 e-mails debunks Broomfields gossip-mentory. We don,t need a British guy trying to influence American politics. Gov. Palin is the most vetted politician in American history. Obama was never vetted, and his failure as a leader of this country is the result.
Brandt Hardin | September 30, 2011 8:36 AM
Whataya know? Some unbiased coverage of Palin! I hope this guy has us in for some real laughs! In the meantime, you can get a real juicy look at some parts of her you won't see in the film on my artist's blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/06/ecstasy-of-sarah-palin_15.html

Ok we get it. It's a dud and exercise in trying to trash someone who doesn't deserve it.
I love his rationalization that peopl;e are somehow afraid of the reprucssions of saying negative things about Ms Palin.
If that were true the entire left wing media would be in jail! "Ya Betcha!"

The Tennessee Highway Patrol released video of a DUI checkpoint stop that went viral on YouTube. The stop happened July 3 on South Rutherford Boulevard in Murfreesboro as the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office and THP checked cars for impaired drivers. Chris Kalbaugh, 21, recorded the DUI checkpoint as part of a planned operation for the Libertarian Party of Tennessee. He then uploaded the video to YouTube Friday. Thursday, the video had more than 3.8 million views and 49,000 comments on Kalbaugh's YouTube channel. The YouTube video was edited by Kalbaugh before he uploaded it to the web. The THP version is unedited and shows the interaction Kalbaugh had outside of his car with Deputy A.J. Ross and THP trooper Matthew Pennington.On the video the deputy tells Kalbaugh that him questioning why the deputy is asking him questions raised suspicion. "Are you an attorney or something? Do you know what the law is?" the deputy can be heard asking. Kalbaugh answers, "Yes sir."Deputy Ross asks, "Ok what is the law?"Kalbaugh answers, "That I have to stop. You can ask me questions, but I have the freedom to go on my way."During the stop, Deputy Ross asked for Kalbaugh's permission to search his car. Kalbaugh says he will not consent to the search. A K-9 officer then brings a dog over to the car to smell for illegal substances. On the video, the K-9 officer said the dog alerted to an illegal substance on the door handle. The deputies then search the car. According to video, the deputy tells Kalbaugh they found some marijuana seeds, shake and beer tabs in the car. Kalbaugh told the deputy that it is possible that the previous owner left those items in the car. "I definitely don't do drugs or smoke marijuana or anything," Kalbaugh is heard saying in the video. "I am not sure why the dog alerted on my car. I don't do drugs."Deputy Ross tells Kalbaugh the he is within his rights to pull him over. "It is a sobriety checkpoint," Deputy said. "I've got to make sure you haven't been drinking. You won't answer that question. I am going to pull you over to the side and I have got that right."Kalbaugh tells Trooper Pennington during the stop that he is not meaning to be difficult. "For the record, I am not trying to disrespect any officers or the department or anything," Kalbaugh said. Kalbaugh was not cited or charged with any crime in connection with the DUI checkpoint. At the end of the stop, Deputy Ross points out his supervisor on the scene, a lieutenant, and offers to let Kalbaugh speak to the man. Kalbaugh does not speak to the supervisor and leaves the scene. As of Thursday, the MTSU student had not filed a formal complaint with the sheriff's office. Rutherford County Sheriff Robert Arnold has said he reviewed Deputy Ross' behavior and found no wrong doing.
"He didn't violate anybody's rights," Sheriff Arnold said. "He did his job."At the DUI checkpoint, 250 vehicles passed through. Twenty vehicles were detained for further investigation, including Kalbaugh's.Three vehicles were searched and 32 citations issued, including one DUI.

Just six Canadian-bred 3-year-olds started in the second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, the $500,000 Prince of Wales Stakes run at 1 3/16 miles at Fort Erie Racetrack. Conditions were ideal at the border oval, with clear skies and temperatures in the low 70's. The only filly in the field, Woodbine Oaks winner Milwaukee Appeal, was sent off as the 7-5 choice on the board over Queen's Plate winner Eye of the Leopard at 9-5 and Queen's Plate runner-up Mr. Foricos Two U at 5-2.
Milwaukee Appeal was quickest away and led the field first time past the grandstand through a 1/4 in 24.80, then was taken back by jockey Stewart Elliott allowing 16-1 Gallant and new rider Corey Fraser to take the lead on the backstretch. With Milwaukee Appeal battling with him the whole way, Gallant set easy fractions of 49.10, 1:12.94, and 1:37.68 over the fast main track. Milwaukee Appeal came back along the rail and the pair hit the line together in 1:56.74. After a lengthy examination of the official photo, Gallant was declared the winner by a nose. It was just 1/2 a length back to Eye of the Leopard third.

One of the lies most often repeated by the Climate Science lobby is that 'the science stands' i.e. that no fault was found in the scientific work of the CRU. This is both true and a lie, true in that no fault was found, a lie because the reason no fault was found is that to examine the scientific work was outside the Russell panel's terms of reference. This report features the Max Planck Institute's take on climate science and the IPCC.

Steel in the News
Back to all posts
Posted by Tasha Weiss on March 4, 2013 at 6:37 PM.
Richard Zhang and Kyle Cormier, both employees of Gerdau (an AISC member), were named industry champions for the North America region and won second place overall in the World Steel Association's 7th annual Virtual Steelmaking Challenge, which took place late last month in Brussels, Belgium.
"On behalf of the Gerdau team, congratulations to the participants for a job well done," said Guilherme C. Gerdau Johannpeter, president of Gerdau's North American long steel division.
Along with two teammates from Brazil, Zhang and Cormier competed with more than 1,000 teams to earn a spot in the competition. Their task was to refine an order of construction steel grade, which is used in earth-moving equipment. Contestants were allotted two-and-a-half hours to produce the requested steel at minimum cost, and the Gerdau team computed a final cost of $29.51 per ton.
Alexey Mordashov, chairman of the World Steel Association and chief executive officer of Severstal JSC, presented the trophies and certificates to the winners. "I am delighted to meet 'the next generation of Bessemers' here today," said Mordashov. "The future of the steel industry lies in the areas of innovation and high-technology development, which will be driven forward by the winners today. The steel industry offers great career opportunities for those who wish to help society to meet its future sustainability challenges."

It's time for consumers to weigh in
It seems a trend is afoot to get consumers to speak up about what they know. From whether or not a realtor is truly a top producer or whether or not dogs bark at night on a high-end street, consumers are being asked to share their knowledge. On one of the Inman panels today, two interesting start-ups unveiled their sites: Street Advisor and Home Thinking (www.streetadvisor.com and www.homethinking.com). Street Advisor, which has launched in 26 countries, wants people to "let the world know what you really think about your street." It collects information on everything from "streetvibe" aka atmosphere to "street health" aka cleanliness. Homethinking lets consumers write reviews on agents.
We find this trend interesting. If sites like these are successful, consumers will have access to new and valuable information to help inform their purchase decisions. We hope that the industry will embrace these new services as we find them complementary to the MLS, brokerage houses and agents. For example, if a realtor is good, then getting a positive rating from an outside company would help to validate his/her reputation. And, if buyers get the skinny on neighborhoods before they start shopping, they'll be even more qualified as they tour homes with an agent (or better still the agent could use a site like streetadvisor to learn the ins and outs of every street).
This entry was posted on Friday, August 3rd, 2007 at 11:11 am and is filed under Inman.

Daniels pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and operating an unlicensed money transmitting business.
He also forfeited more than $135,000 in drug proceeds.

The definitive career guide for students in art ...
The subtitle of the Art Gallery of York University's current group exhibition—"Sound + Image + Time – The Strategy of Music Videos"—might suggest that the show is a densely theoretical musing on space and time. But in reality, the massive two-venue exhibition (a co-presentation at Red Bull 381 Projects closes today), which examines the connection between music videos and contemporary video art, is as catchy, engaging and memorable as the pop tunes that inform it.
Divided into thematic screenings, "The Communism of Forms" offers a thorough survey of more than 40 artists' relationships with the music video format. Though music videos and video art projects might be aimed at drastically different audiences, the exhibition ably proves that they share certain features: both are performances staged for the camera and both use tropes established by their predecessors. Sometimes, both pull out the aesthetic stops to grab viewers' attention and sustain it for a brief but concentrated period of time.
From Tasman Richardson's DIY mash-ups of music videos to Peaches' satire of a Black Eyed Peas song to Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard's restagings of iconic performance art pieces in karaoke style, the show underscores the political implications of manipulating and responding to music video's well-tread cultural conventions. As the curators write in their exhibition brochure, while early music video formats offered artists the perfect vehicle for addressing the "fragmentation and supersonic speed of hypercapitalism," the ongoing connection between these two seemingly divergent media continues to offer rich territory for aesthetic and political interventions.

Costs for parking permits
The cost for a parking permit depends upon when the transaction has been completed, AND if any changes/edits are made after the start of the semester. Purchases during the Discount Period result in a lower cost, but purchases after the Discount Period cost more. Purchases with missing or inaccurate vehicle data, which are edited after the start of the semester, will cost more.
Why do we offer a discount for early purchases, and why do we charge more for later changes? In order to keep pace with expenses for managing permit administration, we try to keep costs down through efficiency. In 2005, we charged $140 for a semester permit, so the basic cost for a permit has risen little in the last decade. We offer incentives and impose extra costs in order to be more efficient.
Early purchases allow us to to prepare permits in advance, when the Housing Office has fewer demands. See descriptions in the table below.
Scooter and motorcyle permits
Motorcycle and scooter permits are 1/2 (one-half) the cost of a student's semester permit for a car or truck. The fractional cost will be determined using the table below.
Regular and Restricted (aka sophomore) permits
The charge for a semester permit is $150-$185, depending upon when the transaction has been fully completed.
|Early Purchase, during Discount Period *
|For purchases which do NOT require any changes/edits to vehicle information on/after the start of the semester (first day of classes) AND which are picked up on the first day of the semester
|For purchases which involve changes/edits on/after the start of the semester (first day of classes) AND which are picked up on the first day of the semester
|* Discount Period is from July 1-31 for Fall semester; from December 1-31 for Spring semester
|Late Purchase, after Discount Period**
|For purchases which do NOT require any changes/edits to vehicle information on/after the start of the semester (first day of classes) AND which are picked up on the first day of the semester
|For purchases which involve changes/edits after the start of the semester (first day of classes)
|** On or after August 1 (for Fall); on or after January 1 (for Spring)
A charge will be posted to the student account once the transaction has been completed. Students may obtain a Spring semester permit IN PERSON while they are picking up a Fall permit, but a Spring-ONLY permit cannot be requested online until December. If the student has not been previously waitlisted for a permit, the Spring semester decal will be affixed to the vehicle at that time. If the student has been waitlisted, a Spring permit will not be offered at time of Fall pick-up. This opportunity for an early Spring permit is only at the time of Fall permit pick-up.
Temporary permits
The charge for a temporary permit is $3/day, whether the permit is issued by Housing or the Campus Health Center. Students who bring a vehicle later in the semester may request a temporary permit in lieu of a full semester permit. This may result in a lower cost to the student. Charges will be added to the student account each month and/or near the end of the semester.
Cancellation policy
There is no cancellation or refund for temporary permits.
A semester permit can be cancelled only by email request. Refunds are given at the discretion of the Housing Office.
A full refund will be given for a cancellation prior to the start of the semester, and after the physical permit (i.e. decal) has been returned. After the semester has commenced, a partial refund for a cancelled semester permit will be determined using the equivalent cost for a temporary permit for the number of days in the semester in which the permit was active. As an example, if a student requests to cancel and returns the physical decal on the 10th day of the semsester, a credit will be placed on the student's account for the permit charge minus $30 (10 days x $3/day = $30).

Companies that suffer major data breaches almost always portray themselves as victims of cutting edge attack techniques and tools. The reality, though, is often much more mundane.
Case in point: Target, which last year was hit with a major data breach that exposed to hackers data on some 40 million credit and debit cards and personal data on another 70 million customers.
[ It's time to rethink security. Two former CIOs show you how to rethink your security strategy for today's world. Bonus: Available in PDF and e-book versions. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
The retailer on on Thursday acknowledged that it could have mitigated or even avoided the breach had it paid closer attention to alerts generated by a security monitoring tools.
Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said the company investigated but ultimately dismissed early signs of a data breach. "Based on their interpretation and evaluation of that activity, the [Target security] team determined that it did not warrant immediate follow up. With the benefit of hindsight, we are investigating whether, if different judgments had been made the outcome may have been different," she said.
Target isn't alone in making such mistakes, says Joe Schumacher, a security consultant for Neohapsis, a security and risk consulting company.
"I have seen enterprises roll out very expensive systems to handle security monitoring, yet there is no subject matter expert for this technology or risks within the enterprise," he said.
Often, companies deploy security technologies with default alerts, resulting in many false positive warnings, Schumacher added.
"Any organization looking to implement security technologies should make the same investment in their people to help configure the technology," he said.
Eric Chiu, president and co-founder of HyTrust, a cloud security company, added that companies often ignore security alarms because they are numb to them, they get too many false warnings or because they are understaffed.
"You can have all the alarms you want, but unless you put security in a prominent position in the company and have enough staff to review them, those alarms don't mean anything," he said.
While alarms are great at signaling that something bad may be happening, they're just a means to monitor for inappropriate actions, he said.
In Target's case, a newly installed a network monitoring tool from security vendor FireEye alerted Target security personnel of malware on its networks on two separate occasions before it was hit by hackers, according to a Bloomberg BusinessWeek report. The installation of the tool cost Target around $1.6 million, according to Bloomberg, which interviewed several former Target employees, law enforcement officials and security researchers familiar with the case.
According to the report, a team of security specialists in Bangalore, India, spotted the alerts and relayed the information to counterparts at Target's headquarters in Minneapolis, who apparently failed to follow up.

Everyone being conscious of SEO has probably noticed or understand suggestions and forecasts from your top specialists and web developers. Recently it is often expected that backlink building anchortext will almost certainly be downsizing being a sign utilized by the various search engines like google, to become substituted to a single degree or even a different by something referred to as co-citation.
We are going to find out what these ideas are and explore how they could affect your small business.
Keywords has been broadly sent applications for a lot of the background of Search engine marketing as a means of shooting for a keyword and key phrase. The theory is the fact by using the keyword and search phrase as the anchor-text inside a link, you could be informing google's how the website you might be back linking to is associated to the main element phrase in the anchor text. Before, it has been proven to acquire a excellent effect on the capability to rank for the important thing phrase, and it has produced an enormous along with sometime questionable market of backlink building towards the only reason to remain specific keywords and key phrases into backlinks and directing these phones the website.
Citation SIC Type rating
Much like precisely what area exploitable for economical benefits, the effective use of anchor-text may be rampantly in excess of utilized, and for that reason shows probably the most up-to-date dying Golden Goose from the SEO period.
Numerous websites, some owed to linking solutions consisting of several different (inferior) websites developed limited to the aim of including one way links, were created to consist of (or sell) anchor-text backlinks that forwarded to websites that might like to ranking for the phrases included within.
What SEO's Gurus has forecasted that reliance upon keywords will likely be substituted by co-citation. This concept basically extends the thought of a sole link remaining associated with the issue in query, and contains the greater perspective of the written content piece in which a link is offered, or also a Manufacturer reference where a link doesn't occur.
Among co-citation: A brief article describes left-handed golf clubs� and tells substantially regarding this topic. In this content, there's a reference to Bob's Lefty Golf Shop, an internet based store. Other content on the web also discuss on Bob's shop, and likewise makes use of the term left-handed clubs.
Inside keywords time, those content could have required to connect to Bob while using keywords phrase for his how do people learn an SEO gain. Whilst in the co-citation style, Bob would gain whether the hyperlink emerges or not, only for the reason that google's seeking more extensively in the relationship concerning his web site (which almost certainly is presently well-set up as being associated with the title Bob's Lefty Golf Shop�), and the subject in query.
It's got recently been shows that you will find some significant instance of websites which get ranking nicely for words which can be slightly active in the content material of the ranking web page. Such as, Customer Records has a web site that rankings perfectly for cellphone ratings�, a really very competitive search phrase, although the actual term won't show up on the location web site by any means. For anyone performing SEO within the last several years of keyword and key phrase link build-up infatuation, this is just awesome to find out happen.
How can co-citation function within the algorithm criteria? Well, what Yahoo (and supposedly Bing) are performing here is making use of the vicinity from the phrases "cellphone ratings and Customer Records" that report on numerous websites, whether or not these are linking to customerrecords.org. There can be a quantitative thinking rendered that the 2 of these factors basically go collectively simply because of countless various experts on the net used the keyword phrases in close vicinity.
It's an incredible demonstration of how a engines like google are simply just reading good intelligent and improved on the things they are doing, and in what ways also they are annoying the attempts of fast fix SEOs who want to position rapidly by performing some very easy linking (or purchasing keywords inbound links, that is a unpleasant exercise you must never ever be a part of).

When Billings Clinic patient Matthew Broch turned fifty, things started to change.
"It impacted my health and my well being and the way that I look at taking care of myself," says Broch.
Broch got into an accident and couldn't walk for four months and then discovered he needed to start taking better care of himself. A new health fair will hit town at the Shrine Auditorium called the 50 Plus Life Expo, something Broch says he's looking forward to attending.
"Participating and being proactive with care, being active and having an active lifestyle, not being sedentary making sure you're eating the right things," says Broch.
The now 52 year old awaits the 50 Plus Life Expo, where doctors, like Dr. Irene Lohkamp from Billings Clinic will be on hand to provide health care screenings.
"When people turn fifty they want to know not only how to live longer but how to have a better life how to enjoy life," says Lohkamp.
Doctors recommend to exercise three to four times a week for a half hour, and practice cognitive skills by picking up new hobbies to prevent memory loss.
"When you turn fifty you should basically do what your mom and doctor have been telling you for decades to do. Which is eat your vegetables, drink milk, exercise, and lose weight down to where you should be with your BMI," says Lohkamp.
And above all, enjoy the ride.
"All these things have happened for the past four decades and you've got four more to look forward to," says Broch.
Billings Clinic will offer blood screenings, free blood pressure checks, senior services and lifeline information, and more at the 50 Plus Life Expo. You can meet the KULR 8 News Team on both Friday and Saturday at the Expo.

Ocean Alexander's new 700 Mark I Classicco offers the serious go-anywhere design and practical layout of a long-range expedition yacht, along with all the interior luxuries of a coastal-cruising motoryacht. For cruisers who plan to make the cruise of a lifetime and want to do it in maximum comfort, aboard a safe and seakindly vessel, the 700 is an ideal choice.
The 700, like all Ocean Alexander models since the company's first boat in 1978, was designed by Bainbridge Island, Washington naval architect Ed Monk. As with Ocean Alexander's flagship 860, Monk worked on the 700 with his marine design "dream team" — including structural engineering expert Tim Nolan and underwater engineering expert Ed Hagemann.
The result of their efforts is a remarkably seakindly boat that is built to exacting standards of quality. Like other Ocean Alexanders, the 700′s gleaming stainless steel hardware, rails and cleats are built stouter than they have to be. The hull is crafted of advanced materials — including carbon fiber in the stringers — for added strength and rigidity.
Draft is minimized with the use of the Monk/Hagemann tunnel (prop pocket) system, resulting in a large vessel that draws just 4 feet, 6 inches. Considering the boat's 71-foot, 2-inch length and its wide beam of 17 feet, 9 inches, it should not be surprising that the 700 offers an especially roomy interior and plenty of space for relaxing topside — on the expansive flybridge; the roomy California deck, immediately abaft the saloon; or the sportfishing cockpit, abaft the California deck.
Characteristic of Ocean Alexander yachts, the 700′s interior is trimmed in fine woods, featuring abundant teak joinerwork crafted by men who are considered artisans in their field. Ocean Alexander employs a highly skilled group of boat building professionals at its Taiwan facility, with the average employee having been with the company for 10 years or more.
That's one reason why the fit and finish of the 700 is so good — everywhere. You'll find that the roomy engine room is finished as nicely as any other part of the boat (albeit sans woodwork) — and you'll notice many uncommon niceties, such as lighting under the engines that makes any leak that might occur immediately visible.
This is a boat designed for real-world cruising, and it can handle a wide range of sea and weather conditions.
The reverse-slant pilothouse windows offer dramatically reduced glare on sunny days and added protection and visibility when it's stormy. The boat's big frameless windows with black spacing are virtually leakproof — and the large opening side windows offer an excellent view, even from a seated position in the saloon.
A Portuguese bridge — a protected deck immediately forward of the pilothouse — makes for easier and more secure crew movement while the boat is under way. Its high forward side conceals a double gate that opens for ready access to the foredeck.
Ready to Run
We tested the Ocean Alexander 700 Mark I Classicco on a warm summer day off Newport Beach, California. Our test boat was provided by Orange Coast Yachts, the Southern California Ocean Alexander dealer.
We had three adults aboard during our test, and there was noticeable swell running offshore, making conditions a bit rolly — for some boaters. However, our 700 gave us a rock-solid and stable ride, thanks to stabilizers, hefty construction and 91,350 pounds of displacement.
Throughout a variety of maneuvers and speed runs, the 700 performed admirably. It stayed relatively flat in turns, tracked smoothly and was very responsive to the helm.
We did tight turns at 2,000 rpm, and found that that when we turned the wheel, the 700 turned and headed wherever we wanted it to go — without hesitation.
With our test boat's twin 825 hp MTU/DDEC Series 60 diesels, the top speed is 21.3 knots, at 2,335 rpm wide open throttle. However, fuel consumption at this pace is a sobering 86 gallons per hour (providing .2 mpg).
The 700′s fast cruising speed is 18.6 knots, at 2,150 rpm. At this speed, the boat gets .3 mpg.
Long-range cruisers, however, will appreciate the 700′s fuel economy at its slow cruising speed of 10.7 knots, at 1,200 rpm. The 700 provides a remarkable .9 mpg at this speed — performance that is more fuel-efficient than some boats half its size.
We operated the 700 from the nicely equipped flybridge, which on our test boat provided helm and companion seating, a settee and table, a barbecue, a sink, a refrigerator with an ice-maker and an impressive 360 degree view.
The view from the pilothouse is excellent forward and to both sides, but the aft view is obstructed by its adjacent galley. Happily, optional cameras can be installed in the cockpit (providing that aft view) and in the engine room, and their images can be displayed on an optional flat-screen monitor on the pilothouse helm console.
Our test boat was equipped with both bow and stern thrusters, providing maximum control of this large vessel during docking and close maneuvers. They help make it possible for a couple to run this boat by themselves. However, for those who want a crew, our test boat offered comfortable crew's quarters — with a pair of bunks, a head and a mini-galley — accessible from the cockpit.
All the way forward in the crew's quarters is a door that opens to the 700′s spacious engine room. Here, you'll find a surprising amount of headroom and ready all-around access to the engines, generators and other essentials.
Fish or Relax
While the 700 is available is several configurations — including versions with a California Deck and no cockpit — our test boat offered a full-size cockpit for sportfishing, adjacent to a wide swim platform.
A pair of steps lead up to the boat's covered California Deck, where you'll find a comfortable aft settee with an inlaid wood high-low table that lifts for dining or lowers for coffee, at the touch of a button. A refreshment console with a sink was forward, on our test boat. Entry to the boats walk-around side decks was provided forward, on each side.
We entered the saloon through a sliding door, from the California deck.
Our test boat's saloon was as elegantly appointed as some mega-yacht saloons. Eye-catching features included a mirrored bulkhead flanked by wood columns — and a unique overhead that is trimmed in ultraleather and fine woods, accented with halogen lighting. All of the headliner is removable, for servicing access.
A 42-inch plasma screen television was concealed inside a wood cabinet, under our test boat's starboard side windows. At the push of a button, the screen rises to window level; or, if you don't want to spoil the view, cabinet doors open and you can watch the screen at settee level.
The console was flanked by a pair of armchairs and opposite a large settee and high-low table.
Immediately forward of the settee — next to the mirrored bulkhead — is a dining table with four chairs. The table has an 18-inch leaf that allows it to seat six, when necessary.
A few steps forward, adjacent to the pilothouse, the 700 offers a U-shaped galley. Our test boat included an optional Sub-Zero refrigerator with two freezer drawers, all paneled in rich teak wood. Additional appliances included a dishwasher, a range and oven, a microwave/convection oven and a garbage disposal.
Time to Turn In?
Steps from the pilothouse lead belowdecks to three comfortable staterooms.
The extra-large full-beam master stateroom, aft, offers a walk-around queen-size berth, a walk-in hanging locker, abundant wood cabinetry, a vanity with a swing-out seat and an en suite head with a large shower. Our test boat's head was trimmed in marble, with a granite countertop.
Immediately forward of the master, a locker concealed optional washer and dryer units. A small stateroom adjacent to it can be outfitted as either a guest cabin or an onboard office. On our test boat, this cabin included two perpendicular bunk-style berths.
cabinets, a hanging locker and private access to the second head. This head also offers a shower, and our test boat featured a granite countertop.
If you're looking for a boat that can do more than just take weekend cruises or entertain guests at the dock, Ocean Alexander's 700 Mark I Classicco has the long-range cruising capability that you may be looking for. Its enviable offshore cruising ability, long range and luxurious accommodations make this motoryacht a standout.

Considering your state of mind, it's not such a good idea to decide on anything long term right now.
You need to accept that people change. Some for the better, some for the worse. You just need to decide if they're worth keeping in your life.
Something seems amiss, but you can't quite pinpoint what it is. Maybe you missed doing one of the things you're supposed to do.
When you can't remember what you did to upset somebody, it's always best to retrace your steps from the last time things were still ok.

Or at least that's the report from Entertainment Weekly, who writes:
A key source on the canceled drama told EW that NBC is not moving forward with a movie that would wrap up the four-year series.
After the show was officially canceled back in May, it was hoped that NBC would allow producer Tim Kring and the cast one last shot to say goodbye to fans with either a mini-series or a TV movie to wrap up all the loose ends.
According to EW, that will not happen.
Again, this is not official. The network has not responded to the EW report yet, so until the network makes it official, it's just a report…

Many municipalities around Bay County used services from PSI, including Parker, who had a service agreement with them to offer either one or two-day a week pick-up to residents at a certain rate.
Waste Management doesn't typically offer two day a week pick-up, but they have said they will honor any standing contracts that were signed by Advanced Disposal before the deal.
In Parker's case, the contract ends September 30th and at that point they will re-evaluate the terms.
The deal was finished last Friday and they sent a letter to all customers soon after saying to expect small changes, like different trash cans, Trucks and billing invoices. They say service will continue as expected.
"This is just kind of business as usual, you know these things happen," said Parker's Mayor, Richard Musgrave. "As long as we are protecting the citizens along the way, then let them have at it. As it stands with this issue I'm satisfied and hopefully we can just move forward and not even miss a lick."
Waste Management says if there are any changes to the billing or routing system in the future, customers will receive notifications prior.
