Two More Good Reason to Enter the William Faulkner – William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition:
First, our finalists get published. Josh Russell, who has been a finalist in the Faulkner – Wisdom Competition several times, will have his novel, My Bright Midnight, published in September, 2010. And it's already getting great comments. Here's one from Tom Franklin, author of the sensational collection of short fiction, Poachers, which won the Edgar:
I've been waiting for more of Josh Russell's NOLA since Yellow Jack, waiting patiently, most of the time, and now it's paid off. This book flat out kicks ass in its New Orleans-ness but also in its humanness, a novel firing on all cylinders, amazing characters, killer details, lyrical language and a plot that keeps the pages turning. A book worth the wait and worth its salt, a novel to read and reread, to savor, to treasure.
—Tom Franklin
Both Josh Russell and Tom Franklin will appear at Words & Music, a Literary Feast in New Orleans, November 17-21 as members of the faculty. Tom Franklin's new novel, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter, a compelling novel of how two men overcome racial divisions and become friends, is coming out in September, too. Josh's book is about the collateral damage caused by WWII to one New Orleanian's life, right on target for the 2010 theme of Words & Music, The Literature of War and Collateral Damage.
Second, Tom Franklin, a great craftsman in the art of fiction, is judging the short story category of the competition this year!

Restoring power after a major outage is an enormous undertaking that involves much more than simply throwing a switch or removing a tree from a line. For a graphic representation of the restoration process, see "How Power is Restored."
The main goal is to safely restore power to the greatest number of customers in the shortest time possible. Keep in mind that if there is damage to power plants, switchyards or transmission lines, those facilities must be repaired by our power supplier before we can restore your service.
Transmission lines seldom fail, but they can be damaged by ice storms, tornadoes and hurricanes. Tens of thousands of people could be served by a single high-voltage transmission line.
When those facilities are working, problems in your co-op's electric distribution system can be corrected. Three primary areas of our system must be addressed.
1 -- Substations are repaired first. A co-op may have several local distribution substations, each serving thousands of consumers. When a major outage occurs, the local distribution substations are checked first. If the problem can be corrected at the substation level, power may be restored to a large number of people.
2 -- Distribution lines are repaired. Main distribution supply lines are checked next, if the problem cannot be isolated at the substation. These supply lines carry electricity away from the substation to a group of customers, such as a subdivision. When power is restored at this stage, all consumers served by this supply line could see the lights come on, as long as there is no problem farther down the line.
3 -- Individual services are restored. The final supply lines, called service lines, carry power from the transformer on utility poles or underground transformers outside houses or other buildings. Line crews fix the remaining outages based on restoring service to the greatest number of consumers.
Sometimes, damage will occur on the service line between your house and the transformer on the nearby pole. This may explain why you have no power when your neighbor does. Your co-op needs to know if you have an outage here, so a service crew can repair it.
The co-op's annual meeting takes place at the office on 2269 Jeffries Highway in Walterboro.
Registration is from 8 a.m. - 10 a.m.
Business meeting starts at 10 a.m.

Supreme Court to Rule on Westboro Protests
The Supreme Court has decided to rule on a case deciding whether the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church is protected under the First Amendment when they protest at military funerals.
Westboro pastor Fred Phelps leads other members in funeral protests to suggest that military deaths are punishment for the country's tolerance of homosexuality.
The Associated Press reports that justices will hear an appeal from the father of a Marine killed in Iraq, after they picketed outside his son's funeral in Maryland. A signs at the funeral combined the U.S. Marine Corps motto with a slur against gay men, the AP reports. Lyle Denniston has more background on the SCOTUS blog.
In Albert Snyder's appeal, his lawyers argued that the Supreme Court's protection of speech about public issues, especially the Justices' 1988 decision in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell, does not apply "to private individuals versus private individuals." If it does apply, the petition said, "the victimized private individual is left without recourse." The Circuit Court decision, it added, encourages private individuals to use hyperbolic language to gain constitutional protection "even if that language is targeted at another private individual at a private, religious funeral."
Even if the Hustler decision does apply to the kind of remarks at issue, the petition asserted, the case also raises the issue of whether those who attend a funeral are like a "captive audience" and thus need protection against intruders who were not invited.
The case will be argued in the fall, according to the AP.
(h/t Debra Cassens Weiss)
I find it troubling that Mr. Phelps seems to have a one item agenda in his church--hatred of homosexuals. Surely there are more important things to be concerned about, such as unemployment, the hungry, the homeless, the destruction in Haiti and in Chile, etc. I think he is an embarrassment to Christianity and I am surprised there is not more criticism of his crusade.
As one who daily faced the Westboro Baptist Church, and its leader Fred Phelps, for three straight years, I know him well. The Phelps cult picketed St. David's Episcopal Church every day, before every service (weddings, funerals, Christmas Eve, Easter Day, etc), and constantly harrassed our parishioners throughout those long months. He is evil, not sick; he embraces with joy the cruelty of his minions. His verbal assults on innocent people, his extremely cruel lies, accusatons, and threats, are a far greater crime than his desecration of the American flag. He distorts the Gospel, subverts the law of the land, and will do whatever malicious tactic he can divise to wouund and hurt others. I know, I faced him face to face for three years. I pray that the Supreme Court will put a stop to his evil.
A good solution to the Phelps phenomenon would be to station a large, robust Marine gunnery sergeant who can holler at 90 decibels at every funeral that Phelps wants to disrupt. He would go over and get in Phelps' face and shout, "NOTHING IN KANSAS BUT STEERS AND QUEERS, AND I DON'T SEE NO HORNS ON YOU! YOU LOOK LIKE A LIMP WRIST TO ME! ARE YOU GETTING TURNED ON RIGHT NOW! ARE YOU GETTING A HARD ON?? I THINK YOU ARE!! WHEN YOU GET WITH YOUR BOYFRIENDS, DO YOU GIVE EACH OTHER A FREE REACHAROUND OR DO YOU CHARGE EXTRA FOR THAT???"
This kind of greeting might make Phelps slink away, if it were done to him in full view of his followers. If he were provoked enough to take a poke at the gunnery sergeant, the latter could shout, "THAT YOUR BEST SHOT?? I THOUGHT YOU WERE A LIMP WRIST!!"
You take down a bully once, and he is not likely to volunteer for any more of the same. If the alpha male of a group is humiliated in the eyes of his followers, he loses status quickly.
Has this been attempted at any of Phelps' appearances? Does anyone happen to know? I had not heard of any such thing in the news, but maybe it ought to happen. Just think of Lee Ermey in "Full Metal Jacket" and you get the idea. No need for courts and lawsuits; just rapid counterforce.
This can only mean SCOTUS will rule against Westboro; otherwise they wouldn't waste their time. It also is a high-publicity chance for them to win back favor after the Citizens United ruling favoring corporate free speech. I can't wait to hear their rationale!
By their fruits they shall be known. Phelps is not a Christian. He does not demonstrate a Christly demeanor in any way. He has no Christian fruit. However,we should not let his behavior lead us into his brand of mean-spiritedness.
How quickly we descend to making the determination that someone is not a Christian.
Mr. Phelps is doing nothing more than carrying out his convictions. I'm sure he will say he's being led by the Holy Spirit to do so and I'm sure he will be able to find any number of passage in the bible to support his views.
He's hardly doing anything different than what Focus on the Family or the American Family Association do... albeit, they are a bit more subtle
Ultimately only God knows Mr. Phelps's heart.

O'Neill aiming for top half finish
Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill says his side will be aiming for a top-half finish when they host title-chasing Manchester United on Sunday.
United are level on points with Premier League leaders Manchester City, but trail their rivals on goal difference.
However, Sir Alex Ferguson's men know they could capitalise should City drop points at home to Queens Park Rangers.
O'Neill says it's a big game that could decide the destiny of the title. But he added that it also presents a chance for the Black Cats to finish the season among the top ten.

CBS Plays Up Obama's Mockery of GOP on Border Security, No Opposing Clip
On Wednesday's Early Show. CBS's Bill Plante highlighted President Obama's recent mockery against Republicans on border security, but omitted playing an opposing clip from a GOP politico. The President jabbed the opposing party during the speech in El Paso, Texas: "Maybe they'll need a moat. Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat." The morning show was alone among the Big Three in covering the event.
Plante noted at the beginning of his report, which aired 3 minutes into the 7 am Eastern hour, that "the President went all the way to the Mexican border to make the case for immigration reform, trying to get over the heads of the Republicans who are blocking it here in Washington. Mr. Obama said that his administration has answered the complaints of Republicans about border security with more agents, a border fence, and aerial surveillance, going above and beyond what they asked for."
The correspondent then played the "alligators in the moat" clip from the Democrat. While Plante did counter the President's "that's politics" critique of Republicans in his reply ("Well, it's politics, for sure, but on both sides. What the President is calling for doesn't stand a chance in this Congress."), he didn't play a sound bite from anyone in the GOP during the remainder of the segment.
Just over 12 hours earlier, the CBS Evening News on Tuesday held up the student body president of California State University at Fresno as an example of the need to pass the DREAM Act, which President Obama supports.
The full transcript of Bill Plante's report from Wednesday's Early Show:
ERICA HILL: President Obama turned his attention to the hot button issue of immigration yesterday, saying the time for reform is now, and it must not be delayed until after the 2012 election.
CBS News senior White House correspondent Bill Plante has more on that story for us this morning. Bill, good morning.
BILL PLANTE: Good morning, Erica. The President went all the way to the Mexican border to make the case for immigration reform, trying to get over the heads of the Republicans who are blocking it here in Washington. Mr. Obama said that his administration has answered the complaints of Republicans about border security with more agents, a border fence, and aerial surveillance, going above and beyond what they asked for.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA (from speech in El Paso, Texas): You know, they said we needed to triple the border patrol. Well now, they're going to say we need to quadruple the border patrol, or they'll want a higher fence. Maybe they'll need a moat. Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat. (crowd laughs) They'll never be satisfied. And I understand. That's politics.
PLANTE: Well, it's politics, for sure, but on both sides. What the President is calling for doesn't stand a chance in this Congress: the path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants, a visa reform for students and agricultural workers, and allowing the children of undocumented immigrants to go to college or serve in the military. But Mr. Obama wants to make sure that the independent voters that he'll need next year know that he's working on border security, and that the Hispanic voters know who to blame if nothing happens. Erica?
HILL: Bill Plante at the White House this morning- Bill, thanks.

Have lived through many Presidents and have never heard the hate from any of them, compared to "the one." Seems each and everyday he says the most hateful and disrespectful comments about Americans who don't agree with his radical and extreme views. To say Americans want to hurt/kill others is a disgrace to all Americans. He has got the media and his thug followers defending every disgraceful remark he makes. Having this rapper in the WH who wails on women, shows no respect for his own daughters. Having graduated from Ivy League schools, it appears "the one" didn't learn any common sense or respect for others. What a pathetic mess running this country. I feel bad for my kids and grandkids having to hear this hate toward Americans!!!

What would be considered borderline hate speech coming from a Republican is simply accepted as part of this president's "swagga."

I think Rio Grande in Spanish means "ages-old, already existing, water-filled moat, except it doesn't have alligators" or something like that.
How about floating the First Wookie, Michelle-ma-tamale-snatcher, down the Rio Grande on an inner tube shouting out through a bullhorn, "One tamale, I just want ONE tamale!"
A scary sight like that should keep 'em all on the Mexican side of the "Rio Moat".
Just an idea....

Google leaps on patent reform bandwagon
If reform is the right word
Boost IT visibility and business value
Of course, other groups have opposed the bill, including the Professional Inventors Alliance (PIA) and several big-name labor unions. Ronald Riley, founder and president of the PIA, refers to Google's lobby group as the Coalition for Patent Piracy. He believes its members are interested in nothing more than stealing inventions dreamed up by the smaller (and less wealthy) names of the world.
"These guys are flat-out crooks. They lie, cheat, steal, and paint their victims as victimizers," he told The Reg. "They're trying to create new mechanisms to abuse the patent process - to take property without paying for it."
Yes, the Patent Reform Act would help the likes of Google, but many believe they deserve some help. "In terms of litigation, most of the bill is certainly pro defense," says Patrick Fraioli, a patent lawyer with the California firm Moldo, Davidson, Fraioli, Seror, & Sestanovich. "But that doesn't mean it's bad."
Now that you can patent things like software and business processes, Fraioli says, the system doesn't work as well as it used to. "In the mid-90s, we saw an expansion of patents from mechanical things and physical objects, like drugs and machines, to software, which is more ethereal," he told us. "Patent litigation has become more like a lottery."
In fact, many patent gurus believe this new bill is pretty tame stuff. When Google posted its stance on the web, the first person to toss up a comment was Ben Klemens, a guest scholar with an independent think tank called the Brookings Institution and the author of Math You Can't Use: Patents, Copyright, and Software. All he wanted to know was whether Google was in favor of abolishing software patents entirely.
"I can't tell from your public statement here whether you in the public policy department support or do not support software patents per se, though I would bet you a dollar that if you surveyed your employees, the great majority would call software and business method patents an impediment," he wrote. "Why is Google supporting this tepid bill? Have you determined that it's time your engineers revise their ethical beliefs regarding mathematical algorithms? Or is a bill that would address subject matter problems just too unlikely to work?"
In his mind, it's hard to argue with any of Google's reforms. In the end, he says, they don't really mean much. "The frustrating thing about tepidity is that there's nothing wrong with it," he told The Reg. "You can't argue with what they say - but what they don't say is huge. The expansion of patentable subject matter to include software and business methods is the elephant in the patent office, and I can't help but wonder why intelligent patent professionals working for a software company are not addressing it."
So we called Google to ask about their stance on the matter. And they blew us off. ®

Two top senior executives of an employment staffing agency pleaded guilty on Tuesday to federal employment tax evasion charges.
Daniel Hovis, 60, president of Career Search One, Inc., pleaded guilty to failure to pay trust fund taxes to the IRS for employees. The corporation's vice president, Janice Hensley, 63, also pleaded guilty to failure to pay trust fund taxes to the IRS.
Hovis and Hensley together failed to pay more than $600,000 in federal employment taxes that were owed to the IRS.
Career Search One, Inc. specialized in providing employees to client businesses for a fee, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office. The corporation's primary bookkeeping offices were based in Charleston and Wheeling. Hovis and Hensley both worked out of the Charleston location.
From 2004 through the first quarter of 2010, Hovis and Hensley withheld trust fund taxes from many employees' paychecks. The trust fund taxes were monies that were owed to the IRS. Hovis and Hensley each failed to report or pay over trust fund taxes that they had previously withheld from employees' wages. Trust fund taxes are withheld federal income and Federal Insurance Contribution Act ("FICA") taxes, which also include Social Security and Medicare taxes. Career Search One, Inc. failed to pay these taxes.
They also failed to report and pay approximately $630,158.94 in trust fund taxes to the IRS on behalf of Career Search One, Inc.'s employees. Hovis and Hensley used the monies to pay personal expenses. Both executives knew that the corporate funds should have been used for the payment of trust fund taxes.
Hovis and Hensley each face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine when they are sentenced on September 4, 2013.

As students on Vanderbilt University campus went about their business Wednesday, word spread of two separate hazing incidents involving the women's soccer team and the women's tennis team. "All of the women, with the exception of one, admitted to what had gone on," said the Nashville school's athletic director and vice-chancellor David Williams.Williams did not say specifically what went on with the two teams. "What they didn't realize was that it was hazing, they thought it was team-building, a team initiation," Williams explained. He said the hazing harmed no one, nor was it hazing at its worst, which can include beatings. "It had nothing to do with any of that, but anytime you basically require a group of people to do something that very well could humiliate or could make them feel uncomfortable, or something they don't really want to do, you could rise the level of hazing," Williams said. The athletic director said the hazing initiation for one of the teams has gone on for years, while the other team had just started this fall. Officials said both incidents occurred since the start of school this year. "When we talked to the young ladies they were all very apologetic, they did not realize they had engaged in hazing," Williams continued.As a penalty, both teams will not play in one upcoming match.Williams said the two coaches were unaware of the hazings, but he said he hopes the players will now ask the school what is, and what is not hazing."If you can't tell your coach about it, and its supposed to be team building, how much team building can it be?" asked the athletic director.Officials added the coaches of the two teams involved may impose further penalties.

A tribunal has criticised Kingston Council for an "overt failure" to respond to a driver's appeal over her parking ticket.
Last October the driver was slapped with a £110 ticket in Kingston Hill for parking on the pavement.
CCTV images showed her car partly off the road at a doctor's surgery near Kingston Hospital, a decision notice from the Parking and Traffic Appeals service said.
But in fact the driver was waiting for a parking space to open up before she reversed into it.
Adjudicator Belinda Pearce said: "During these proceedings the appellant submitted full and detailed written and telephone representations, and produced confirmatory documentation in support. The points raised by the appellant in those representations deserved proper consideration.
"I observe an overt failure to adequately identify/rebut or retort to the appellant's issues."
The council committed a "procedural impropriety" by not doing so, she said.
The driver's appeal was allowed.

Nigel Wise says...
The person responsible for rejecting the motorists representations ought, at the very least, be disciplined and retrained. This assumes that this person received any appropriate training in the first place. From what has happened it seems unlikely.
The penalty ought never to have been issued in the first instance. The driver of the CCTV car and whoever reviewed the footage ought to also receive censure. This is categorical proof that CCTV cars cruising about are and never will be a satisfactory replacement for CEO's on foot.
These vehicles simply drive past and snap without capturing the full picture. They then move off as quickly as possible to capture the next innocent motorist on their rounds. Roll on the day that the Government ban these CCTV cars entirely after the forthcoming announcement into CCTV enforcement.
What about the appellant's costs though? The motorist and her witness have had to go up to PaTAS in Islington to attend a hearing. Both of them possibly missing a days work in the process. This is scandalous enforcement of the most dreadful kind. It proves beyond all doubt that enforcement in Kingston is entirely revenue driven. All the time that Kingston have dinosaur directors at the helm this will continue.
There needs to be a proven fair minded Parking Manager in total command in Kingston who is given a free hand without a director breathing down his neck and demanding more penalty money.
Until the old Parking Manager in the neighbouring Borough of Richmond on Thames was replaced by Stephen Hardy this type of enforcement was going on there. After Mr Hardy's arrival a fair parking enforcement policy was introduced. Richmond now has the fairest enforcement in London. Lord True Richmond Council's Leader also deserves a lot of credit for this. Local high streets that previously were seeing shop closures due to draconian enforcement tactics have since been reinvigorated with shops reopening.

According to Home Office guidelines CCTV should only be used where CEO enforcement would be impractical or dangerous. Monitoring of parking violations would not appear to meet either criteria.
This is from the CCTV code of practice.
"The primary purpose of any surveillance camera system used as part of civil enforcement arrangements must be the safe and efficient operation of the road network by deterring motorists from contravening parking or road traffic restrictions. Motorists may regard enforcement by cameras as over-zealous
and relevant authorities should use them sparingly. Such systems should,therefore, only be deployed where other means of enforcement are not practical and their effectiveness in achieving this purpose is subject to regular review."
Enforcement of parking can be done very easily by a CEO. There is no need for spy cameras.

Netflix is trying to change the face of television, and it's the toast of the internet with successful, original shows like House of Cards and the upcoming season of Arrested Development. Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer at Netflix, is understandably pleased with all the attention.
He said today that House of Cards is "the most-watched thing on Netflix right now." He wouldn't give specific ratings, however, arguing that it was an "apples and oranges" comparison to networks. In fact, he says that he "has no motivation to do it," since he doesn't sell advertising. He believes that viewership of the show will only grow over time, too, despite it's unconventional release schedule. He says that even though Netflix put all of the episodes out at once, "it's still watercooler" chatter. It creates "a whole other etiquette" around discussing shows and potentially spoiling plot points. "We're not encouraging people to binge," Sarandos says, but thinks the show works better when watching one or two at a time.
"What we're doing is radically different than any [other] kind of television, including HBO."
Asked about HBO's decision not to drop an entire season in one go, Sarandos defended Netflix's decision. It means that there is less need for "exposition and catch-up and fake cliff-hangers" that provide context for viewers who haven't watched the last episode for a week. He compared the season to music albums or books, which are also released in a single spot. Sarantos says that he's not trying to "dismantle" television, but to evolve it. "What we're doing is radically different than any [other] kind of television, including HBO."
Mitch Hurwitz, the creator of Arrested Development and Will Arnett, one of the actors on the show, took the stage at Dive into Media, and described the process for bringing the show to Netflix. Hurwitz said that airing all the shows at once gave the show's producers more creative freedom — they're able to take shots from one episode's cutting room floor and use them in a later episode more easily, for example.
"We are the poster child for Netflix."
"In many ways, we are the poster child for Netflix," Hurwitz said. The ways that the show do small jokes and "twists on twists" work better for a dedicated audience who is paying attention, he argues. Getting the show back was difficult. After the show ended its broadcast run, the owners literally "sold the banana stand" along with the rest of the set and even the famous Segway from the show.
Arnett says that Netflix is good for actors, too. "They're allowing the creative community to do what they do best." He says it's more than just making shows "for the internet," because Netflix knows (and more importantly, has) Arrested Development's audience. Hurwitz followed along the same thing, saying that Netflix didn't intercede in the creative development of the show as much as is common in the traditional system.
With two big-name shows under its belt, is Netflix in this content-creation business for the long haul? Sarandos says yes, he will keep making original shows — and that they're helpful in "pushing the envelope for exclusivity" when working with studios to get shows that Netflix didn't produce. Sarandos says that these new original productions won't mean more expensive subscription feeds, thanks to Netflix's scale.

Sure feels good to have impact prospects in the Boston's system again. I don't think I've ever been more excited for the next generation of Sox.
- A strong spring, combined with shallow outfield depth, may just give Jackie Bradley Jr. his first cup of coffee earlier than anyone expected. (Can Jackie Bradley Earn A Promotion This Spring?)
- The Yankees as a source of happiness? Oh, this has GOT to be good. I cannot be any less ironic right now. (Want to feel better about the Red Sox? Then take a good look at the Yankees)
- Speaking of the Yanks, Kevin Youkilis is finding peace in the pinstripes. Strange, because a few years ago, I would've thought he'd be the Sox player with the most hate for them. (Kevin Youkilis at peace as Yankee)
- More salary dump happiness: Allen Webster is turning heads. That tends to happen when you strike out the 3-4-5 hitters of Toronto's lineup in order. (Allen Webster Steals The Show In Red Sox Win Over Blue Jays)
- One of the lessons Ben Cherington learned from last year is that you can never have too much pitching. Boy, did he learn well. (Sox have plenty of arms…just in case)
- A look back on one of the more…interesting trades of recent years. Darn you, reconstructive thumb surgery! (Transaction Retrospection: The Bailey-Reddick Trade)
- HAHAHA. Oh, wait. He's actually serious. My sides are killing me, I'm laughing so hard… (Valentine: I thought I did a good job with Sox)
- I think it's about time to retire the Dice-K moniker. Let's face it, it's not like he ever lived up to it. (Daisuke Matsuzaka ain't throwing gas)
Lots of good things coming out of Ft. Myers. This could end up being a very relaxing spring.

By Jean DePlacido
---- — Marblehead three sport star Tyler Phillips had a hard time deciding what sport she wanted to play in college. She was recruited for field hockey, diving, and lacrosse. Phillips also knew she wanted a college with a strong art program.
She found what she was looking for in Skidmore where she decided to play lacrosse the next four years. The Thoroughbreds play in Division 3 in the very competitive Liberty League. A Salem News and Northeastern Conference all-star in all three sports, Phillips has a 3.45 GPA.
"I had verbally committed to UVM to dive, but the coach knew I was still trying to decide between diving and lacrosse," said Phillips. "I hadn't visited Skidmore at that time, but once I did I fell in love with everything about it. It's a beautiful college town (in New York), and I just loved everything about it. I really wasn't ready to make the kind of commitment needed at a D1 program. I want to enjoy everything about college."
When visiting Skidmore, Phillips knew she liked what she saw and felt at home with the Thoroughbreds coach and her program.
"The lacrosse coach Liz Ghilardi is an amazing woman. I'm a midfielder, and Skidmore was recruiting midfielders so it was a perfect situation for me," Phillips said. "I was most interested in a good art program, and I liked what Skidmore offered better than the UVM program. I want to go into advertising."
Phillips was recruited in lacrosse by Connecticut College, Bates, Harvard, UVM, Sacred Heart, and Georgetown. The 2013 NEC Female Swimmer of the Year and NEC diving and 50 freestyle champ, had Boston University, UNH, and UVM all looking for her to commit to their swim programs.
The Magicians swim team captain broke the school record in diving. She started swimming and diving at the Corinthian Yacht Club when she was eight-years old.
"I didn't start competing until I got to high school," said Phillips. "I've been swimming and diving all four years, and I'll continue to swim recreationally. That will be good cross training for me.
"I had two big decisions to make. I knew what I wanted to major in so I wanted a strong academic program. In the end I decided I would have more fun playing lacrosse the next four years. I'm happy with my decision, and I want to finish my high school career with a good season," said Phillips, who has helped Marblehead (6-1) win its last six games in a row.
"We have a very strong team this year. It will be an adjustment going from three different sports to just one, but at the college level I'll have fall ball as well as our spring season."

2012 was known for a lot of things, including the horrible drought. Smith Mountain Lake dropped about five feet because of the lack of rain, and even farmers struggled to keep their fruits and vegetables healthy. Finally, some much needed rain fell throughout the viewing area over the last 24 hours.
"We have seen more rain with this system than the entire month of December or as we saw in November as well," says Fox 21/27 meteorologist Alyssa Corfont.
She says this rain is going to be a tremendous help.
"The latest drought monitor had almost the entire area under a drought risk," Corfont says. "I think we will see that trimmed down to abnormally dry when the update comes out."
And while the rain soaked roads and the ground, it won't necessarily make up for everything we lost last year. So how much will several inches help?
"We ended 2012 with 10 to 15 inches of a deficit in some areas, as far as our rainfall totals go, so it is not going to make up for it all at once, but people will notice changes at the lake, river levels, in creeks and streams, even color of the grass will improve after this," Corfont says.
She says the outlook is promising, and this won't be our only chance for rain in the coming weeks.
"It does look like it is going to be a little active over the next few weeks. I think this is a big system, and will we see this again more than likely not. This is the biggest system we have seen at one time," she says.
And while it may not be a ton of rain, for many people, something is better than nothing.

Nontoxic Bedbugs Control New York City
Bed Bugs are Back with a Vengeance...
Bedbugs: they haven't been a big issue from WW II until very recently, when most major cities around the world report sudden increases in bedbug infestations. New York City is not an exception. The bedbug problem in NYC has become an epidemic. These little vampires can be found everywhere - in hotels, movie theaters, official buildings, schools, hospitals, train stations, taxi cabs, you name it. Prior to their re-emergence in 90s they were treated with DDT (true poison for bugs and people), which became illegal in the seventies. Since then, these bloodsuckers have usually been exterminated with all sorts of still-legal pesticides, the negative health effects of which are just being discovered. Cornell University and other well known scientific institutions have already reported on the negative health effects of Permethrin, the most popular ingredient in Bedbug control products. Growing resistance to these pesticides and evidence of the toxicity of conventional bed bug products has led us to creating, or rather re-discovering, Nontoxic bedbug control methods that are safe for yours and your loved one's health, harmless for pets and ecologically clean. They really work because bedbugs are unable to develop a resistance to heat.
Instead of using toxic pesticides, we utilize heat treatment in conjunction with natural products that are deadly to bedbugs and safe to all other living begins.
Many environmental and health groups in New York are concerned about excessive use of pesticide and call for action. We consider our work to be our contribution to this collective safe pest management effort.

Naperville Public Library has hired Lynn Hoffman to be its new deputy director.
"Naperville Public Library has a tremendous reputation, and the level of support it receives from the community is enviable," said Hoffman, who officially started as deputy director Jan. 6. "I am looking forward to serving a community where its people have looked at the cost and benefit equation and decided that it's worth paying the price for high-quality library service."
Hoffman, who will work out of Nichols Library, received a bachelor's degree in English from Boston University and a master's degree in library and information science from the University of Iowa. For more than 15 years, she has worked in the library setting, starting as a children's librarian and moving to a variety of positions in public service and administration throughout her career.
"I'm always interested in finding ways to automate and streamline the more mechanical and transactional aspects of library work so that staff can spend more of their time providing one-on-one assistance and expertise to our customers, and so I'd like to explore whether radio-frequency identification would be a good fit for NPL," she said. "I'm also enthusiastic about the new ways public libraries are providing learning and discovery experiences for visitors, and I think NPL is a great incubator for those kinds of ideas."
Hoffman moved from Green Bay, Wis., to take the position. She succeeds current Executive Director Julie Rothenfluh, who took the position after former Executive Director John Spears resigned. The library board approved the hiring of Rothenfluh in August.
Also, there have been other management moves at the library. Karen Dunford transferred as library manager of Naper Blvd. Library to 95th Street Library. Olya Tymciurak transferred as library manager of 95th Street Library to Nichols Library. Dave Della Terza was promoted from computer lab supervisor to library manager of Naper Blvd. Library.

Post "Precious" in 2009, the world seemed to be filmmaker Lee Daniels' oyster. The aforementioned drama had scored six Oscar nominations, won two and the gestating projects started to pile up. There was the civil rights drama "Selma," which garnered interest from Robert DeNiro, Hugh Jackman and Liam Neeson, a potential adaptation of "Miss Saigon," and Denzel Washington was attached to his project "The Butler."
But after months of waiting on passion projects, Daniels switched things up and mounted an easier-to-finance thriller called "The Paperboy" starring Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman and Matthew McConaughey. It premieres in Cannes in about two weeks (it plays at the tail end of the festival, which kicks off on Tuesday).
But "The Butler" is back and picking up steam. Fans of Daniels already know that Washington is gone and replaced with Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker. Jane Fonda is set to play Nancy Reagan, Alan Rickman (not 'Paperboy' co-star John Cusak) will apparently play Ronald Reagan and Oprah Winfrey is on board as well.
Three more actors are evidently circling roles in the film, the story of The White House's butler, Eugene Allen (Whitaker), who served eight American Presidents over the course of three decades. They include "The Paperboy" co-star Matthew McConaughey, former "Iron Man" star Terrence Howard and Academy-Award-winner turned lost-in-the-woods actor Cuba Gooding Jr. (the latter two having recently appeared together in the George Lucas-produced "Red Tails").
No word on what roles the actors may play, but evidently several of the roles in the film might be smaller cameos. Danny Strong wrote the script, which Daniels rewrote. No shoot date yet, but with Cannes around the corner surely more details will surface when when film financing company IM Global attemps to sell the picture to foreign buyers. Previously discussed potential 'Butler' actors Hugh Jackman, Mila Kunis and David Oyelowo are nowhere to be found in this THR update, so presumably they are no longer in the mix. "The Butler" will be an interesting showcase for African American talent, especially for Whitaker who seemingly hasn't had a great role since he won the Best Actor Oscar for "The Last King of Scotland." In fact, arguably his career has been on the Cuba Gooding Jr.-like B-movie decline, but hopefully he and Gooding Jr. can once again prove that they have the right stuff, given the right material.

FORT MYERS: Scotty's Automotive, victim of a robbery just a month ago, fought back against criminals and won, catching four thieves in the act.
Scott Janson says he's had enough.
"Not only were they hitting my shop, but to find out they were hitting other places, too, and they were the same people," said Janson.
The Lee County Sheriff's office says three shops in South Fort Myers were all hit by thieves going after any car part they could find.
However, the thieves did not expect they would be caught on tape.
"I can watch them drive in, I can tell what they're going to hit because they have been scoping it. Pull right up next to the car, pop the hood--steal the battery, alternator, tired, rims," said Janson about reviewing his system.
Janson has been on alert since thieves stole a trailer from his property with $30,000 worth of his property inside.
No arrests on that crime have been made.
That incident lead Janson to install an expensive security system around his shop.
"I didn't know I was going to be hit five more times," said Janson about the robberies.
Garry Smiley, Richard Cronshaw, Alejandro Rodriguez and Rashunn Hill were all arrested after Janson's security cameras caught them on tape.
"I'm just glad some good has come out of it. Where all the businesses were getting robbed--I think it's good that I was able to put a stop to a ring of crime."

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Three children were given the number one gift on their Christmas list -- their dad home for the holidays.
Staff Sergeant Adan Mancilla is a national guardsman who just returned from Afghanistan.
The San Diego Zoo arranged the welcome-home surprise during one of its animal shows and brought the children onstage.
"I couldn't think of anything other, or special, or a more special way to surprise them at the zoo. A place that they love, that they related to, good family fun," Mancilla said.
The kids had no idea their dad was going to be home, and hadn't seen him in almost a year.

Sorry that the audio is a bit bad (note to self, when you take audio off of someone's sound board you gotta test it out — but I had an excuse cause I was on stage and busy).
I just put my interview with Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, that I did on stage in front of an audience (that gave Steve a standing ovation at the end). In an hour you'll hear about a wide range of early Apple history, among other things that interest Woz, like playing Tetris and his music festivals (he's doing another one). Pranks. Hacking. I mention Phillip Torrone and his TV jammer. Shyness. Building video games. First argument with Steve Jobs. And tons more. You probably have heard lots of these stories, but he tells a few new ones and it was fun. People afterward told me they wished he could go on for a few more hours.
I put this up on Blip.TV to test the video quality and uploading capabilities. This video is more than an hour long. Unfortunately it didn't keep the wide-screen format of my video. I'm going to talk with Mike Hudack, CEO of Blip, about that.
It's still amazing to me that Woz designed the entire Apple I and II computers. That's a feat that probably can't be done today. At one point I asked the audience how many had Apple II computers. About 60% of the audience raised their hands.
He told how HP turned him down five times cause he wanted HP to build the Apple II computers instead of going and starting his own company. Imagine how different the world would have been if someone at HP would have said "yes."
Also, he told how an early employee didn't believe the company would end up being successful so sold his stock holdings back to the company for a few thousand dollars. That ended up being about 10% of the company and now would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
This interview was part of Woz's book tour for his new book, iWoz, which is most excellent if you want to learn more about how Apple was birthed. On Amazon is has a 4.5 rating, which for a book author is pretty darn good.
Speaking of books, our book, Naked Conversations, is still selling very well. It's in the top 4,000 on Amazon out of all books (about 1.5 million books). Thank you all for your support!

Success can be measured in many ways. Obviously in most sports events, the team with the winning score has the best direct indication of success. For the Friday Night Under the Lights contests, there were two teams who were able to use that standard to see how their evening went. For the other two teams, some other ways could be utilized to see their progress.
The evening started off under sunny skies and warm temperatures with the U-10 Girls game. Player introductions were made and programs were available as a keepsake for the players and family members. The teal colored Cyclones, coached by Ryan Morlan, struck first in the first quarter with two goals. In the second quarter, the purple clad Hurricanes coached by Allison Smith and Shelbi Reed stiffened their defense to hold the opposition scoreless while taking some shots on goal.
In the third quarter, the Cyclones found their scoring range again with two more goals.
The fourth quarter was another evenly matched segment of the game with the Hurricanes allowing only one more goal while making tremendous strides with their attacks on the net. The game was well played with very few fouls being called, and the fans were thoroughly entertained by the dramatic runs up and down the field.
Before and during the second game of the evening, planes and trains played a role in the night's schedule of events. Lindy Award Winner, Tom Schoettmer, highlighted the night's activities with a flyover of the old Shriver Field with his prize winning aircraft. He delighted the crowd with several passes around the playing field. His flight was preceded by a stirring rendition of the national anthem by a member of the U-14 girls team, Emily Lowe.
As with the U-10 game, each and every player was introduced before the game. The fireworks really began with the opening kickoff. As noted in the article before the game, the blue uniformed DC1 Rangers consisted of mostly U-12 boys with some U14 players to provide guidance and leadership. Expertly coached by Patty Hensley, the Rangers struggled fiercely and mightily against their older and more experienced foes, the navy hued Batesville B3 team well led by coaches Rob Wagner and Andy Schutte. For the longest time in the first of the two 30 minute halves, the light blue local team was able to hold off the onslaught, but the Batesville bunch found the net twice in the middle section of the half. One more goal was made late in the half as well to end the scoring at 3-0.

Bridgett Bolen is one woman you don't want to mess with.
"I've always been that tough-type person, but never really thought I still had it in me, you know. Never had to beat anyone up," says Bolen.
She's a fighter. And that's exactly what she proved when she encountered a purse snatcher last week as she was vacuuming out her car at the gas station.
"Corner of my eye, I saw this guy leaning over in my car and he had my purse and my keys and I hollered, I know you didn't! His back was turned to me and I yelled, sir! And he turned around and when he did, I kind of kicked him between the legs. He fell down enough to get in my face, I was able to be face to face with him and I just straight weigh-layed him."
She pried her purse and keys from his hands and ran into the gas station bathroom. The lady vacuuming her car next to Bolen called police. Bolen has diabetes and kidney disease and was frankly surprised she had the strength to fight him.
"Been in and out of the hospital, gotten so weak, lost a lot of weight, a lot of muscle as well."
Bolen is no stranger to physical activity, always athletic and staying in shape. Tonight, Bolen is glad both she and her family are safe.
"I'm grateful number one that my kids wasn't with me. And I'm grateful that I'm safe and not hurt worse than I am. It could have turned into something tragically I guess."
The man was arrested and thrown in jail. A local doctor treated Bolen for free after he heard what happened. Her children call her their hero.

News: "Everybody Respects Me For The Simple Fact I've Created My Own Lane"
Tuesday, Jul 12, 2011 4:20PM
Miami rapper Pitbull recently opened up about his music catapulting him to a global platform since trading in hip-hop beats and adopting a pop sound.
Despite his rap-themed 2004 debut, M.I.A.M.I., Pitbull said he takes pride in maturing and gaining a larger fanbase, as heard by the records on his new Planet Pit album.
"I think from M.I.A.M.I. to Planet Pit, how it transitions, what it shows is maturity, growth, evolution, someone that's been learning, applying, observing," Pitbull explained in an interview. "As far as getting acceptance from hip-hop, does it bother me? In no way shape or form -- I've been on tracks with the best or what they consider the best. I've been on tracks with Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Fat Joe. ... On those tracks, I think I definitely held my own and everybody respects me for the simple fact that I've created my own lane." (MTV)
Last December, Fat Joe paid props to Pitbull but admitted that he couldn't see himself going pop.
"I'm inspired because I'm all over the world. I love Flo Rida and all of them but I won't make that kind of music. I'll make some party music but it'll be more like urban party music, 'Lean Back' and 'Make It Rain.' Rather than straight pop. Once again, I love Pitbull, Flo Rida and the music they make but some artists can't really be respected if they take that lane. There's one thing to be featured on a hot song like that and do it yourself. When reggaeton got hot the record labels would [be] offering me stupid money to make a Spanish reggae tone album. I featured on a song or two from some people I respected but that's as far as I would go. " (Global Grind)
In October, soulful singer Erykah Badu slammed hip-hop artists for going pop.
"How y'all gone stand by and let our music turn into pop techno cornball a** music. We don't own our music no more. Come to think of it, did we EVER own it? when I say own our music , I'm not talkin bout the artist I'm talkin bout the people ... let me be quiet. I wanna hear from the young people? easy for me to complain about this techno-pop cause i have a taste for something else. but how do u feel? These rappers ought to be shame of they d*mn selves, I'm talkin bout the mc' s rappin over this pop techno music. I believe in pimpin the system but got D*MN! not like this #pop-technosongs." (Underground Charizma)
To date, Pitbull's new Planet Pit has remained on the sales chart since debuting in June.
Miami rapper Pitbull's Planet Pit slipped out of the Top 10 moving down seven slots to No. 14 with 28,400. After two weeks in stores, his new LP has sold 83,400 records. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

There is a tornado in VA just on the opposite side of the Potomac heading straight for my area… heading for the storm cellar now as the alert just went off…
There is a confirmed tornado heading straight for this area. I am going into the storm cellar now … BBL…
Stay safe Won. ;)
I'm back… The tornado pooped out as it crossed the river, but the straight line winds were wicked… I have not left the basement as yet… I did hear some 'clunking' sounds.. No crashes thank goodness… Will update as I get up and around to take a good look…
My aunt and uncle who lost their tree were evacuated to a church basement. The church was hit. They are physically okay but have not been back to find out what happened to their house. My aunt is not "handling" it well but we don't know the details. They only have cell phones and the only way they can charge them is to use the car battery. My cousin, the grandson of my aunt and uncle, has been in contact with my mother. He is planning to find them an intact motel room that has electricity so they have somewhere to go. His sister and her family, the place where my aunt and uncle are at present, have no electricity.
WON, if you have a place of safety just stay there. Obviously you are planning to do so. I must admit it seems a bit insane that since we do this routine every single spring to some level that no one around here has anywhere to go.
The doctor is doing a overnight culture for strep. He is also doing a full blood panel on my daughter but he is inclined toward the problem being Mon
Evening all! I just rushed here after seeing the storm footage on TV. I hope you are all safe and well.
Oops. Mononucleosis…She has swollen lymph glands and is spiking high fevers. He says it could be several days before the mono will show up on tests. So, if she is still spiking fevers on Sunday he will want to see her on Monday and check her again.
My cousin could not find a hotel with accommodations that also had electricity and space any closer than 70 miles from the devastation. The place he found was back in my mother's home town. If they can go that far they could stay with family. My other cousin I talk about frequently and his wife could take them in. The granddaughter they are staying with who has no power is trying to take them to their house, hoping to find it standing, to collect some necessary items like clothing and medical needs.
Oh hurrah! Lady Hawke, that is just what you needed to hear! I hope Little Hawke gets better fast! ;)
Won stay safe! ;)
Break lurk! ;)
I can't get into Yahoo here and it seems there is a problem there, because I'm having trouble with it on my netbook now. Is anyone else having problems with Ya? ;)
Deanie I got on to CC without any trouble.
I found my way into CC with no trouble either.
Another reason the doctor is thinking mono instead of flu is my normally sneezing, coughing child is doing none of that. She has not coughed once since this began and she is hardly blowing her nose at all. He says if it was the flu he would expect to see her normals complaints amplified instead of strangely absent.
I've been reading about mono. This fever could go on for days or weeks. If it is mono the fatigue could last for months. I am seeing visions of myself pushing a wheelchair around Disney World. Please, oh Please, do not let me catch it if it is mono. To my knowledge I have never had mono.
No problems with cc for me either.
It seems mono is known as glandular fever in other English speaking countries.
WON, it has been long enough. Are you okay? You said you would let us know what is going on?
Good evening. I am relieved to get here…….. it's been all over the news about your storms. I have been worried. So many dead, it's horrific. Lady Hawke, I hope your Aunt and Uncle are settled soon, I I hope the house is ok. Won, stay safe and careful, and Everyone Else in the danger zone. xx
Clarification please………. a "straight line wind" sounds like it means what it says, very strong damaging winds but not swirly, not a tornado?
Lady Hawke, your daughter might have Glandular Fever? I really hope not, for all of your sakes. I hope the test comes back clear.
And, for some light relief, and hopefully enjoyment by all, an alternative version of The Royal Wedding………….. thanks to my son for showing me! I hope you like it!
It might have been helpful if I'd included the link……… bear with me……….
I finally got there on the netbook, but by then I had run out of time to play. ;)
At least we only have to justify our existances for another week. I hope they don't decide that they like knowing whhat we do every blasted minute and extend or make it permanent. ;)
Oh! Yerterday I went past a little market that has been closed for about six months and they have a new sign. It is a banner and part of it got blown loose, so it's hard to read and part of it never did unfold enough to read. What does it mean? it said, in large letters across most of the sign "Proxemamente", and around the bottom of a circle, "Carnecer…" I couldn't read the rest of the word. The top part of the circle never did become visible as it flapped in the wind. I somehow think it means something along the lines of "Coming Soon" "Grocery Store with a Meat Counter". It is in an area where there has been a marked increase in the Hispanic population. I hope it does. It is a needed resource in that part of town.
I obviously speak very little Spanish and what little I know isn't even enough to ask for the rest room. But because I like knowing where words come from, I can piece out a little meaning, sometimes. ;)
I am blatently wasting time. I will check my email one last time before I go home. ;)
Hometime in just over 20. ;)
Bbl. ;)
ASTI, I haven't looked at your link yet but, yes, a straight line wind is exactly what it says. I had never heard of one until one of them took a tree down on our house. We had a GREAT BIG WIND that was very wide and traveled many, many miles and had no rotation, It was just straight wind that blew very hard, hurricane force, for twenty or thirty minutes. Straight line winds can take down trees, rip roofs off houses and knock walls in.
I was reading about mono and came across an article that indicated mono was what Americans called a illness the rest of the world called Glandular Fever. If it is Glandular Fever/Mono it could finish off the school year and compromise the summer substantially,
Fortunately, the school has already divorced itself from following a regular curriculum and is focused on the state standardized tests in two weeks. Even if she is ill she should be able to manage to get to school to sit for those. By then the fever should have ended.
I still have hope it will just be some unindentifiable virus that will run its course over the weekend.
Checking in. The devastation is incredible, I am so glad to see that our people, as far as we know, are safe. I'm keeping prayers ongoing and fingers crossed for those we've yet to hear from. One of my writing friends' best friends lost her daughter in Tuscaloosa. She was a student at the University. It's just awful. I don't know what to do except continue praying. You are all in my thoughts. Please stay safe!
LH I'm so sorry to hear that LittleHawke is so sick on top of everything else. :( I hope, hope, hope it is not mono. My mother had it in college and it wiped her out for months afterward. I'm sending the strongest Protegos I know to keep you or your DS from getting it, and just hoping against hope that it's not what she has. Not to make things worse, but does she have any sort of headache with it, or sore neck? Can she touch her chin to her chest without pain? That is my first-line test for meningitis. As bad as mono can be, especially the long recovery period, it is still preferable to meningitis. I assume the doctor would have asked and/or checked for that if she had further symptoms of it, but I always worry about that one. Lots of prayers are coming your way. :( Please give her extra hugs from me.
I am off to bed early for a change, but I will be up with the lark in the morning and will post my photo of the Wedding Bracelet. I will be wearing the smart design number 2, with a minor change as a necklace.
Sleep well and stay safe and well everybody.
Sorry, my internet has been out till just now… No real damage here… Just a missing mailbox, and some busted up lawn furniture.
WON, glad you are okay. You took more damage than we did. The storms really seemed to intensify once they passed through here. It wasn't a pleasant night here but not the worst we ever had. It is horrifying what happened after it left western MS.
My mother has still not heard from her brother's excursion back to his house. If by some miracle they reach the house and have power I would not leave.
LEMON, I don't think meningitis is even a thought. There is no problem with the mobility of her neck and she only has a touch of headache. As you know she has migraines so she would know what a bad headache is like and that does not appeat to be an issue. All she is complaining of is an incredibly sore throat and achiness. She also goes through rounds of chills and then perspiring profusely.
Won it sounds like you came through with minor scratches comparatively, though damage of any kind is always unsettling. I'm glad you stayed safe.
LH that's a relief! Now on to just praying hard that it's not mono. Have you heard if anyone else in the school is out with it? Poor baby, she must be miserable. :( It's the worst thing to have a child not feeling well. I hope you are both able to get some rest and that she gets some relief. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
LEMON, some boy in her class went home with a sore throat last week and has not returned. So, who knows what is wrong with him, whether it is strep or mono? She says he is the class clown and tends to get right in your face.
I am going to bed soon. I want to get some sleep before morning. I did not sleep very much Tuesday because of the tornadoes. Then, I didn't sleep well last night with a sick child and the whole 3 AM call to the doctor and the staying up for an hour to try to break the fever. Then, by the time I made it back to bed and started to relax my DS's alarm went off and although I drowsed I never really slept. I've managed to force myself to stay awake all day so I would be sure to sleep when I finally lay down tonight. I can make it if I can get some sleep soon.
I hope you get some rest, LadyHawke. See you in the AM for the wedding!
Protego spells for LittleHawke may she recover quickly. I am waiting for some laundry.
I have seen the video of the tornados. O.O
Those looked so scary!
"Senior Clerk" has been working lately. I had to tell the principal that this person I can work with. She is friendly, helpful, and hard working. I am flabbergasted. It has been two weeks and she is doing well. Unfortunately I have to document good and bad behavior and she gas been really good. I don't know if she will be transferred or fired. I seriously doubt she will be fired. She has been in the district too long. Like Deanie she is practically rooted to the job. I don't think she can be fired.
I want to watch the wedding. :(
Tomorrow we leave for Peoria to attend our annual soccer tournament there. I am looking forward to the mini vacation. That will be so nice.
Have been watching a few episodes of a BBC show called "Doc Martin" on Netflix. It is on instant watch
and I highly recommend it.

Pallywood: How Terrorists Create 'News' For Western Journalists and Cameramen
In light of recent revelations of possible media manipulation in Qana, Lebanon, as reported by NewsBusters Monday, a 2005 video has been circulating throughout the Internet (hat tip to Ms. Underestimated with extraordinary video link to follow). In reality, this is an almost unbelievable look at how film footage from Israel that made national news after the Second Intifada began in September 2000 (including CBS's "60 Minutes") appears to have been staged, choreographed, and produced rather than real events that transpired in front of video cameras.
The film's producer, Dr. Richard Landes, teaches history at Boston University, and is the co-founder and Director of the Center for Millennial Studies. He also is the proprietor of The Second Draft, a website "devoted to exploring some of the problems and issues that plague modern journalism":
The term "Pallywood" refers to the staging of scenes by Palestinian journalists in order to present the Palestinians as hapless victims of Israeli aggression. They are able to succeed in this endeavor in large part due to the credulity and eagerness of the Western press to present these images, which reinforce the image of the Palestinian David struggling valiantly against the overpowering Israeli Goliath. Pallywood has led to astonishing lapses in Western journalistic standards in which badly staged scenes regularly appear on the news as "real events."
For those interested in an in-depth look into how propaganda is really produced and created, this is a must see.
