Welcome former Congresswoman and presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney, the people's advocate, to your Bay Area city Thursday-Monday, Aug. 20-24. She'll discuss her stay in an Israeli prison, her triumphant trip to Gaza and the importance of independent media. Click the picture for her schedule. Check back often for updates. Cynthia is our Paul Robeson. Show her your love!

On the 30th of June 2009, in international waters, 60 miles off the coast of Israel, Israeli Naval gunships surrounded the Free Gaza movement boat, "Spirit of Humanity," which was carrying 21 activists from 11 countries, including former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire and a cargo of medical aid, toys and building supplies for the besieged people of Gaza.
July 6, 2009
The world saw Israel's despicable violence, thanks to al-Jazeera Arabic and Press TV that broadcast in English. I saw those broadcasts live and around the clock, not from the USA but from Lebanon, where my first attempt to get into Gaza had ended because the Israeli military rammed the boat I was on in international waters … It's a miracle that I'm even here to write about my second encounter with the Israeli military, again a humanitarian mission aborted by the Israeli military.

I'm very heartbroken by the loss of a panther favorie, Chris Harris but we must look to the future now.
I know Darren Sharper is kind of old. but i think he could be a temporary fix at the SS position till Godfrey or Whoever else is playing the SS position can learn how to tackle. the thing that made me really think into it is when i was watching NFL network today. they said that this man needs a home and that carolina could be a potential place to stay for now.

FAIRFAX, Va. — Most everyone who was alive on Nov. 22, 1963, remembers where they were when they heard that President John F. Kennedy had been shot. JFK was the youngest elected U.S. president and the youngest to die. The fascination with him is never-ending: There have been hundreds of books, TV specials and films about his New Frontier, as well as the enduring controversy surrounding his assassination. Let's debunk some of the most pervasive myths.
1. The JFK-Nixon TV debates propelled Kennedy to victory.
The four televised debates were the great innovation of the 1960 presidential race, and Sen. Kennedy's impressive appearance and performance at the first one on Sept. 26 gave his campaign a jolt of energy. But Vice President Richard Nixon stepped up his game in the remaining three, especially the final one on foreign policy, a longtime strength of his.
While polls were much less frequent in 1960 than today, Gallup has enough data to show that the JFK-Nixon matchup was close throughout. From mid-August onward, the candidates were essentially tied, before and after the debates. Any boost Kennedy got from the first debate disappeared before Election Day.
President Dwight Eisenhower, still quite popular, campaigned for Nixon in the campaign's closing days, contributing to the photo finish in the popular vote: 49.72 percent for Kennedy, 49.55 percent for Nixon; out of about 69 million votes cast, JFK won by about 119,000. Sure, the debates were memorable and precedent-setting, but they barely moved the election needle.
2. JFK was a liberal president.
This view is widely held today, both because Kennedy is now associated with the civil rights movement and because his legacy is lumped together with those of his late brothers, the much more liberal Bobby and Ted. (The brothers followed Jack's moderate lead while he lived, but both became more openly progressive later on.) In reality, JFK was a cautious, conservative chief executive, mindful of his 1964 reelection bid after the squeaker of 1960. He was fiscally conservative, careful about spending and deficits, and sponsored an across-the-board tax cut that became President Ronald Reagan's model for his 1981 tax cut.

PEORIA, Ill. -- The Peoria County Emergency Management Agency is making the community more aware of water safety.
The Underwater Rescue Team was in Peoria Sunday afternoon for K-Mart's Annual Safety Weekend. The yearly event incorporates different agencies in the area emphasizing the importance of safety regulations.
A trailer was parked outdoors inviting shoppers to see some of the newer equipment used in underwater rescue.
"We have medical gear in case we have problems, so we can take care of ourselves," says Ed Feldshau with the EMA "Right now, we're also working on a first responder level so we can respond to disasters and help out more at boating accidents."
EMA representatives remind duck hunters and fishermen to be especially safe this time of year.
Other agencies involved are the Peoria Fire Department and the American Red Cross.

Allen, Bishop & Hensick
The Blues are enjoying a couple days off leading up to their big two-game series with the Minnesota Wild this weekend. Their time off gives an opportunity to see how things are doing in other areas of the organization and see how some of the team's prospects/skaters are shaping up in Peoria.
Jake Allen
In his first season at the AHL level, Allen is seeing plenty of playing time as he splits starts with Ben Bishop. Allen garnered plenty of attention when he stood between the pipes for Team Canada in the World Junior Championships in 2009-10, but also received plenty of criticism as his team fell to a silver medal finish – a disaster for those involved with Canada. It appears he has built upon those criticisms and is using those to propel him to a very memorable first season at a professional level.
Through 26 games, Allen is 16-9-1 with five shutouts to his name. He has maintained a tidy 2.14 GAA and a healthy .934 save percentage – two numbers that should excite any Blues fan.
Allen still has a ways to progress and has Ben Bishop in front of him in the pecking order, but you can fully expect to see Allen in camp next season competing for the backup job behind Jaroslav Halak – assuming the Blues choose not to retain Ty Conklin beyond this year.
According to most scouts, Allen's weakness is when the opponent elevates the puck, but his strengths include controlling rebounds and playing the puck out to his teammates. He still has a long ways to develop and it will likely be quite a while before we see him up at the NHL level, but he is giving fans a lot of reasons to be optimistic.
Ben Bishop
Bishop just recently spent a couple of days at the NHL level before being sent back down on Tuesday. He does have six NHL games on his resume, appearing for the Blues in a wild 2008-09 season, but has yet to make an appearance since.
While his time with the Blues has been brief, his time with the Rivermen dates back to the 2007-08 season. To date, he has played in 112 games for Peoria and has compiled a 53-47-7 record.
This season, as mentioned above, Bishop has split starts with Jake Allen – a difference compared to a 2009-10 season where he earned the majority of starts.
In 2010-11, Bishop is 13-11-3 with a 2.59 GAA and a .913 save percentage. The numbers don't scream brilliance, and actually measure up below Allen's, but it is clear the Blues view Bishop as the go-to guy behind Ty Conklin as evidenced by his recent call-up.
Who will back Halak?
Looking in our crystal ball, and keeping in mind all the current rumors, you have to believe that this will be Ty Conklin's last year in St. Louis. Unless the Blues decide to deal either Bishop or Allen (seems unlikely), we'd assume that these two will compete for the #2 role in the 2011-12 season.
Bishop clearly is the current favorite but is it possible that Allen will challenge him for the backup job? It's certainly possible, but pretty unlikely. Bishop has been in the organization for several seasons now and it is quickly becoming time for the Blues to make a decision on his future with the club. Either he will be appointed the backup job or the Blues will have to deal him. It's pretty impossible to imagine a scenario where Allen leapfrogs Bishop and joins the NHL team while Bishop remains behind despite having more experience and more years under his belt.
Still, it's something that should be interesting to watch come training camp – assuming the Blues don't surprise us all and bring back Conklin.
T.J. Hensick
Just how good has T.J. Hensick been for the Rivermen? Very, very good.
With 104 NHL games on his resume, Hensick doesn't exactly fall into the prospect or youngster category, but his play for the Rivermen is worth pointing out.
Over the course of 39 AHL games this season, Hensick has 14 goals and 32 assists for a total of 46 points. Unfortunately, Hensick's offensive outbursts haven't yet translated to the NHL level. He has skated in five games with the Blues this season and while he did register an assist, he often looked lost amongst the other skaters.
He did have an admirable season in 2008-09 with the Avalanche when he contributed 21 points over 61 games, but has since not had much success at the NHL level in limited playing time.
Hopefully his success with the Rivermen will someday translate to the NHL level as it has previously in his brief career.

Albany - New Year's Eve should be a fun time but if you're not smart, the night can turn deadly. Seventeen people died on Georgia roads over the New Year's holiday weekend last year.
The Georgia State Patrol urges you to buckle up and don't drink and drive. GSP and local authorities will be out in force looking for dangerous drivers with patrols and roadblocks.
"You might believe you're all right to drive, but it just takes just one stupid thing for you to do and you might end up killing somebody. So you better not think, but know, you're all right to drive before you get out on these roads," said Trooper Scott McClure.
The GSP predicts nine people will die in 1,500 wrecks this weekend. They expect 394 injures.
For the New Year's holiday, the highest number of fatalities was 23 in 1981 and 1987; the lowest ever recorded was three in 1958.

The New York Times Gets Its Grand Theory on Ann Coulter All Wrong
On Sunday, the New York Times put two controversial conservative women on the front of two of their sections, blogger Pamela Geller, and author and commentator Ann Coulter.
Coulter was profiled on the front of the Sunday Styles section under the headline "Not Done Yet." The thrust of that odd headline became clear in the subhead, which put a cynical spin on Coulter's recent pronouncements: "Increasingly outflanked on the right by the Tea party, the conservative columnist Ann Coulter is trotting out a new image and seeking support in some unlikely places."
For a right-wing, evangelical Christian who has made fun of homosexuals and opposes same-sex marriage, Ms. Coulter seemed awfully...game. Wearing a black lace-up cocktail dress and high black heels, she posed for a photograph with the founder of Boy Butter, a maker of sex lubricants.
Reporter Laura Holson, while not actively hostile toward Coulter personally (at least not the way the Times' tag-team of Anne Barnard and Alan Feuer treated anti-Ground Zero mosque blogger Geller), did inaccurately portray Coulter as acting out of opportunism:
Now that members of the Tea Party movement have stolen much of her thunder, Ms. Coulter is taking some surprising new positions. She called the decision to send more troops into Afghanistan "insane," warning that it could be a new Vietnam. She has decried fellow Republicans for continuing to insist President Obama is Muslim. And perhaps most startling, she wants to bring more gay Republicans into the conservative fold.
But as Coulter friend and neo-liberal blogger Mickey Kaus (now at Newsweek) proved, none of the positions Holson flagged are new ones for Coulter, and she's been a guest speaker at the very Tea Party groups that have supposedly eclipsed her. Kaus concluded:
Holson's "opportunism" theory might strike some as a sleazy and condescending attempt to discredit a conservative figure whose views are more sensible...than the New York Times, whose reputation for avoiding dumb liberal bias has faded somewhat, has ever admitted, in part because it didn't bother to pay attention!
Those people would be right.
Holson also committed some standard Times labeling slant: "Ann Coulter has made a lucrative career out of being the outspoken, sometimes outrageous Cassandra of the far right..." Holson placed World Net Daily editor Joseph Farah, a recent Coulter critic, on "the extreme right." The paper has rarely if ever placed an American political figure on "the extreme left."

They betray their utter ignorance of the conservative viewpoint:
1. "She called the decision to send more troops into Afghanistan "insane," warning that it could be a new Vietnam."
The idea of sending or not sending troops into overseas conflicts is not a conservative/liberal issue - it has to do with policy. I know plenty of conservatives who believe we should bring all our troops home, close the borders, and use covert ops to deal with the trouble-makers of the world.
2. "She has decried fellow Republicans for continuing to insist President Obama is Muslim."
That was a rhetorical device for pointing out that Obama is an atheist. They either didn't read that column or they missed the point. Besides, republicans spend alot of time decrying what other republicans are saying - it's called a healthy debate - unlike the democrats who don't allow dissent.
3. "She wants to bring more gay Republicans into the conservative fold."
Again, republicans can have a variety of views on an issue. There are plenty of gays who are republicans and who are not in everyone's face about being allowed to marry or whatever...
They just don't get it.

Coulter has taken a variety of positions over the years that I don't care for, but I wouldn't say that that reflects a change. There really isn't anything here, just more wishful thinking on the behalf of libtards who think that conservatives must be in lockstep like they are. The goose-steppers on the left get really angry when they see their enemy not behaving like they are.

Simplot's answer to the needs of the restaurant industry was a special institutional package which contained 30 pounds of frozen French fry strips. Although the French fries in consumer packages were fried to a nearly finished color because they were designed to be heated in the oven by the housewife, the restaurant kitchen was equipped with a fryer and could reconstitute the frozen French fried potatoes much-more quickly and with a better flavor and texture.
The first lots of institutional French fries were prepared to the finished color that the retail product had demanded. This proved to be a problem since the restaurant cook could simply not adapt to the idea of removing a basket of French fries from the deep-fat fryer after they had been in the boiling fat for as short a time as a minute-and-a-half. The product began to find acceptance when the institutional color was held back to a partially cooked state and the restaurant cook was required to fry the potatoes slightly longer to develop the golden skin that appeals to the consumer's eye. Although acceptance and growth of demand seemed slow in the initial stages, frozen French fried potatoes has been one of the outstanding food product successes of all time.
The improved quality and convenience of this item soon made it the number-one selling item in frozen-food departments of most supermarkets. Restaurants and institutions across the country also converted to the use of frozen French fried potatoes very rapidly.
New processors entered the field and existing ones built new plants and expanded production facilities each year in an attempt to keep up with the burgeoning demand. Along with a growth and demand for frozen French fried potatoes, a number of other frozen specialty products were developed.
Ore-Ida Foods introduced an extruded-shredded item that they named Tater Tots® and other processors soon developed their own versions. It was deep fried and had the flavor and eye appeal needed to make it an almost-instant success.
Although the original concept of frozen French fries was for one size and style of cut, this first model was soon joined by a crinkle-cut strip that was appealing to the eye and exposed more potato surface to the frying fat to provide additional fried potato flavor. Cuts and sizes proliferated until the institutional customer could find almost any style and size to suit a personal whim.

Over the course of a steamy and tense afternoon, 12 jurors deliberate the fate of a 19-year-old boy alleged to have murdered his own father. A seemingly open and shut case turns complicated, igniting passions and hidden prejudices.This audio also includes an interview with Reginald Rose's widow, Ellen, in which she talks about how her late husband came to write the original teleplay version of Twelve Angry Men.
©Reginald Rose; (P)2005 L.A. Theatre Works
"This tidy portrait of clashing social attitudes in a jury room definitely creaks with age. But somehow the creaks begin to sound like soothing music, a siren song from a period of American drama when personalities were drawn in clean lines, the moral was unmistakable, and the elements of a plot clicked together like a jigsaw puzzle without a single missing piece." (The New York Times)
"Excellent court room drama"
Twelve men, jurors in a court case, gather to discuss the guilt or innocence of a young man accused of murder. What happens in the jury room is an incisive look at the jury system and American justice system. This audiobook is brilliantly cast and makes the transition from a stage play very well. It's engaging and entertaining, dramatic and moving. Well worth listening to, and will not disappoint on repeated listenings.
"OMG....I loved this dramatization!"
I had seen the movie years ago in black and white. So when I saw that this was a dramatization of the book I wanted to get it. It did not disappoint. I was glued to my seat. I didn't want to stop listening to it. I just really enjoyed this book. You get so into it and it makes you think about how we judge one another based really on nothing really at all but; impressions, stereotypes, life experience with someone similar but rarely on fact. This was excellent it, listen to it and then share it.!!!
This is a short dramatized program, I purchased this offering earlier this morning, and have listened to most of this with my wife; who does not often listen to this type of program, and we BOTH loved it. I have recommended this to friends via email, and will be purchasing as a gift for family later this date.
Dramatized very well. Excellent exchanges between members on jury. Very well acted.
This Dramatized presentation is excellent, Makes it easy to close your eyes and become a member of the jury, present in the same room. Very interesting how I can become a part of the experience with this format.
This presentation clearly highlights, How One person can make a significant difference. How most of us are so involved in our own experiences that we take very little time to truly consider the status of others. Moral: We need each other, and thank God for those who stand against the majority and raise a hand to promote discussion and interaction.
Thanks to AUDIBLE !!
"Brings the text to life"
Students at our school are studying the play script of Twelve Angry Men, but this performance really brought it to life. I started listening to it myself to see whether it was OK for the students. I listened all the way to the end without realising the time had passed. Bravo! Encore!
"Terrific play, great voices"
I've seen the wonderful movie adaptation of this play (1957), and that helped bring this audio dramatization to life - I'm not sure it's quite as powerful without having a true feeling of the setting and behaviours. Plays are written to be performed, and without exposition (describing the setting, movements, expressions, etc) there is something always missing from only hearing the dialogue, unless you're already aware of those elements (or unless you're reading the set direction, etc.)
However, if you've seen this play on stage or in one of the film versions, this is a wonderfully performed version that will take shape in your mind quite easily.
As a disclosure, the actual performance is about 20 minutes shorter than the production time of this audiobook, which includes at the end an interview with the playwright's widow about the play.
"Great story, terrible dramatization"
This dramatization ranks among the lowest of the audiobooks that I've listen to so far. I found the performances campy and the laugh track very inappropriate for the weightiness of the material.
I think the story is terrific. I like the development of the story and the way things are gradually revealed.
Maybe individuals from the cast performance. I'm beginning to think single narrators (or duel depending in the material) are better than cast dramatizations.
"A Must-Listen!"
Normally listening to a story with multiple narrators is .. odd, but this was amazing. Such a great, memorable (and quick) story! Awesome narration.
"Well done."
Many years ago, I watched the 1997 film version of this story and liked it very much. This short audio version allowed me to enjoy it again. All the narrators preformed well.
Something to be gained.
We all have the ability to be so certain about what we know. It is important to see that the other side of the story, if we allow it, may in fact be the truer. I guess that is a lesson to be found with this short story.
"Love this audio play"
Twelve angry men is one of my favorite movies of all time so when I saw the audio play on here I just had to have it. And it was fantastic.
Love my family....along with guitars, cameras, and a good book!
"Great quick story!"
I really enjoyed this book. I especially loved the narration format, with multiple artists lending their voices. I loved the pacing and the story was very enjoyable. Great book!

BROOKFIELD (WKOW) -- After a close call last night, members of a suburban Milwaukee church are cleaning up from the big storm.
About 130 people were inside the Victory International Fellowship in Brookfield when a huge tree fell onto their church.
It broke through the ceiling in several spots and parts of the church are soaked.
The tree hit the children's wing and there were kids inside at the time.
"The way it turned out nobody was hurt, nobody was injured, we evacuated the children with the workers out in the opposite direction of the building," said pastor Rory Grooters.
He says repairs could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But, he says it's a small price to pay for everyone being safe.

Here's the link to my full article:
A quick synopsis: Cabrera stinks. He's been lousy and he's getting worse. He used to be able to strike guys out, but either through injury or ineffectiveness, his K rates have dropped dramatically the last three years. He's led the AL in walks, wild pitches and hit batsman.
I crunched a bunch of numbers in my blog post, so if you want to read 'em, please click the link. Bottom line though: If he's healthy, I'll go on record and predict 185 innings, 9-14, 5.10 ERA, 1.555 WHIP. He'll take the ball every five days and stink.
Sorry, usually I try to present a balanced analysis. But Cabrera's had his chances. He just can't throw strikes with any regularity to get past mediocre.

Quotes about oil
- The world petroleum story is one of the most inhuman known to man: in it, elementary moral and social principles are jeered at. If powerful oil trusts no longer despoil and humiliate our country it is not because these predators have become human, but because we have won a hard-fought battle which has been going on since the beginning of the century.
- Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, The Shah's Story (1980), page 59
- "Moses dragged us through the desert for 40 years to bring us to the one place in the Middle East where there was no oil." ~ Golda Meir
- "The use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own the sun." ~ Ralph Nader
- "Overdrafts on aquifers are one reason some of our geologist colleagues are convinced that water shortages will bring the human population explosion to a halt. There are substitutes for oil; there is no substitute for fresh water." ~ Paul R. Ehrlich
- "Nobody thinks the United States went to strike against Iraq in order to gain land or water or oil, nobody thinks America has any ambitions about real estate." ~ Shimon Peres
- "This morning, prompted by increasing concerns about terrorism, oil prices reached a record high as the cost of a barrel of crude is a whopping $44.34. Wow, it seems shocking that a product of finite supply gets more expensive the more we use it.... Now the terror alert means higher oil prices, which oddly enough means higher profits for oil companies giving them more money to give to politicians whose policies may favor the oil companies such as raising the terror alert level. As Simba once told us — it's the circle of life." ~ Jon Stewart
- "So when you go up against the Far Right you go up against the big financial special interests like the Halliburtons of the world, the big oil companies, the big energy companies who work so hard to rip us off." ~ Barbara Boxer
- "This war has been motivated by pride or arrogance, by a desire to control oil wealth, by a desire to implant our programs." ~ Jimmy Carter
- "No young American should be held hostage to America's dependence on oil" ~ John Kerry
- "The House okayed the gasoline tax cut, which will increase the deficit, line the pockets of the oil companies, and hurt the environment; Dole said that if there was just some way this could interfere with people's sex lives, it would be perfect legislation." ~ Bill Maher
- "This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed— for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now." ~ Hunter S. Thompson
- "I'm not dependent on oil. I can quit whenever I want. ~ Green Party (Sweden)"
