CBS: Stewart/Colbert Rally 'Touched Anti-Anger Nerve,' Called for 'Less Name-Calling'
On Saturday's CBS Early Show, correspondent Wyatt Andrews previewed the Washington DC 'Rally to Restore Sanity And/Or Fear,' organized by comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert: "Almost all of the folks we found said they hope it's about the moderates of America....Stewart seems to have touched what you might call the anti-anger nerve."
Andrews went on to chide conservative figures for divisiveness: "In a year when the President was called a liar and when Fox's Glenn Beck labeled the President a power-hungry socialist and a Nazi." He described how: "Stewart took Beck on." Andrews then explained that rally participants "told us they wanted less name-calling in the media and more accomplishment in Washington." However, he failed to make any mention of Stewart's own long list of vulgar name-calling incidents.
Back in October of 2008, Stewart said to then Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, "F**k you!," in front of a crowd at Northeastern University. In May of 2009, Stewart proclaimed President Harry Truman to be a war criminal for use of the atomic bomb on Japan during World War II, for which he later had to apologize. More recently, in April, Stewart assembled a choir on his show to tell media critic Bernie Goldberg and Fox News to "Go F**k Yourselves." The liberal comedian is hardly in any position to preach "anti-anger" or "less name-calling."
Wrapping up his Saturday report, Andrews noted how "Democrats hope that it [the rally] energizes their base in the same way that Beck's rally energized conservatives." He then proclaimed: "...this rally will certainly show what a cultural force Jon Stewart has become. After all, here's a comedian riling people up to try to calm things down."
On CBS's Sunday Morning, Andrews reflected on the rally and continued to praise Stewart's supposed efforts to promote civility: "Stewart explained his intent. He showed clips of cable news shouting....And appealed to the media generally to tone things down." Andrews claimed the event was "not an openly political rally," but rather, "an appeal for less heat and more light."
As NewsBusters executive editor Matt Sheffield reported on Saturday, many signs at the rally itself were hardly designed to "tone things down," including one which depicted various conservative figures with Hitler-like mustaches.
Here is a full transcript of the October 30 report from Andrews:
CHRIS WRAGGE: A rally to restore sanity. This morning thousands gather as Comedy Central's Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert stage their rally at the capital. Some are calling it the political process in action others are calling it a comedy of historic proportions.
WHIT JOHNSON: Well, today the nation's capital is bracing for the 'Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.' It's been organized by Comedy Central's Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. There are sure to be some laughs but their ultimate goals remain unclear. CBS News correspondent Wyatt Andrews is live from the National Mall with more. Wyatt, good morning.
WYATT ANDREWS: Whit, good morning. Stewart and Colbert actually have a permit for 60,000 people to 'Rally for Sanity and/or Fear.' So, who's appearing on this stage today is still part secret. But we're told it's going to be entertainers and not politicians. Who's actually coming to this rally? Almost all of the folks we found said they hope it's about the moderates of America.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Rally to Restore Sanity; Political Movement or A Few Laughs?]
JON STEWART: It is happening, people. It is happening.
ANDREWS: Like all of Jon Stewart's comedy, the very name of today's rally is a political joke.
STEPHEN COLBERT: To restore Sanity and/or Fear.
ANDREWS: A joke that his audience understood and is now responding to. Ron Honn and his wife, Vickie, organized three bus loads of people to come from Oklahoma. A sixty-hour trip, Ron says, to stand up for political sanity.
RON HONN: We've got to learn to talk to each other and learn how to not be crazy and angry and – and let that be our only voice.
ANDREWS: Stewart seems to have touched what you might call the anti-anger nerve. In a year when the President-
JOE WILSON: You lie!
ANDREWS: -was called a liar and when Fox's Glenn Beck labeled the President a power-hungry socialist and a Nazi.
STEWART: Glenn Beck is right. This is America-
ANDREWS: Stewart took Beck on.
STEWART: No one should tell us what we need to start doing.
GLENN BECK: Here's what you need to start doing.
ANDREWS: Fans going to the rally told us they wanted less name-calling in the media and more accomplishment in Washington.
RICK HIND: There's too much hate going on in – in political speech.
ANDREWS: Stewart says the rally will not be political but the President appeared on his show for a full half hour and Democrats hope that it energizes their base in the same way that Beck's rally energized conservatives. Stewart has joked the key difference will be in the handheld signs.
STEWART: I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler.
ANDREWS: Outside of the politics of all this, though, this rally will certainly show what a cultural force Jon Stewart has become. After all, here's a comedian riling people up to try to calm things down. Whit.
JOHNSON: Alright, Wyatt Andrews for us, thank you.

Submitted by KC Mulville on Mon, 11/01/2010 - 5:54pm.
Calling for people to tone things down is empty. It has no content. It doesn't advance understanding, it doesn't promote any ideas. It's just a complaint about volume.
The argument that Jon Stewart is a cultural force that the media all admire is as worthless as the argument that Glenn Beck is a cultural force that the media all hate. Who really cares? What did any of this mean? Nothing, because it had no content.
This is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

So all these people had a great time on the Mall. Just like going to a rock concert.
And just about as effective. But they can all say they were at the Stewart/Colbert rally.
Big Fat Hairy Deal.
BTW...ditto the Glenn Beck rally. The staying power of these events to actually effect changes in people's behavior is negligible.

Comedy was a pretty big part of it. Good music was another. The facetiousness of it all (the people on stage and in the crowd) was the overarching charm of the entire event. DC doesn't see a whole lot of whimsical protests. They're usually more based upon some kind of anger or outrage. It was a nice change of pace. All the people were nice, and shared my same interests.
Then, there are more coincidental factors that made it awesome. The weather was perfect. The autumn colors were pretty. It happened the day before Halloween, so it took on a holiday feel, with people dressed in costumes. And it just happened to occur on one of the most fun times of the year in DC (what with the Halloween street parties, the Howard University homecoming, and the Marine Corps Marathon).

What's up with THAT? Seriously, this rally was more KKK-esque in it's make-up than any rally previously. Care to explain, Icarumba?
And what's with these moderate mooslims suddenly grabbing signs to quasi-seperate themselves from their killer mooslim brothers at a Comedy Central rally? Yeah, that's some serious voicing and denouncing of Islamic extremism.

How About Those Warriors
In my humble opinion, Marquette basketball coach Buzz Williams should get serious consideration for Coach of the Year. Regardless of what happens in the Big East and NCAA Basketball Tournaments, the job Williams has done this season has been absolutely phenomenal!
Marquette's 2013-2014 recruiting class is said to be one of the best in the nation. However, after losing their two star players from last year's Sweet 16 team, this looked like a transition year for Marquette.
Some transition year! A share of the Big East Conference Championship with a 14-4 record, a 23 win season and the second longest current home winning streak in college basketball. Wow.
It's easy to win when you recruit players that only intend to hang out for a year and then head to the NBA. It's a lot tougher to win with a roster of solid guys - none of whom is a lock to suit up for the pros. Yet that is precisely the type of team that Marquette is winning with this year.
Frankly, I'm hoping for a long run in this year's NCAA tourney. If that doesn't happen though, I'm okay. This year's team has been a pleasure to watch and a pleasant surprise to cheer for.
And for Buzz Williams, it might be the finest coaching job he's ever done.
Go Warriors!

Home Is Where The Movies Are; Home Theaters Replace Cinema
Today in Investor's Business Daily stock analysis and business news:
"The growing popularity of DVDs and home theater systems are factors in declining movie theater attendance, some observers say."
"Nearly 36% of U.S. adults polled recently by TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence say they're going to the movie theater less often than just a year ago.
And owners of home theater setups are cutting back on trips to the cinema even more. About 45% of them say they're going to movie theaters less than a year ago. "
"The rise of DVDs and home theaters isn't the only reason behind the slide in movie theater attendance. High cost is the most cited reason by those who go to the cinema less often. 20.5% of respondents cite high movie theater prices.
Almost as many — 17.8% — say they prefer watching movies at home as their main reason for going to the theater less."
"Other reasons for avoiding movie theaters include people being too busy to go and not liking the quality or selection of movies in the theaters."
"There's some evidence that when a movie is announced theatrically, people make up their minds whether they're going to see it in the theater or wait for it (on DVD)," Alexander said. "As the in-home display stuff gets better and better, it will become an increasingly important decision."
70% of people who rent and 40% of people who buy a DVD never saw the movie in the theatre.

Where is Curious George? A Look and Find Book by Cynthia Platt
What do you get when you combine Curious George and a 'Look and Find' book? Hours of viewing and reading fun, that's what you get. Each page puts that little monkey in a new setting: a cabin in the woods, a castle, and a tree house are just a few. The text asks the reader to find five items in the picture (they are also pictured for nonreaders) and of course, you have to find George. There is lots of fun waiting between these pages.
Lucky Ducklings by Eva Moore
In June 2000, five little ducks toppled down a sewer grate while out on a walk with their mother and were rescued by a man with a pick-up truck and several local firefighters. This is the story of that rescue beautifully written into a picture book for the whole family to enjoy. As the ducks and their babies come back to the canal, spring is the perfect time to enjoy this story of how life often collides with nature.
Above Average by Andrew Clements
Andrew Clements just seems to know the inner workings of a child's mind. His other titles like 'Frindle' have been popular because of his keen insight into issues kids face. He adds humor and common sense into the mix. In this story, Jordan feels average, average looks, average smarts, average talent, while everyone else seems to be remarkable, beautiful and tremendously talented. So Jordan sets out to become remarkable by the end of school year. She gets that opportunity when a tornado hits her middle school and she leads the children to safety.
Shadow by Michael Morpurgo
Aman and his mother have beat incredible odds to arrive in England: they have left behind the war in Afghanistan, a murdered father and grandfather, and the cruel treatment of the Taliban. Aman also left behind a little dog named Shadow, who was much more than a loyal friend. Now he and his mother are in danger of being deported and are being held in a crowded prison. Who will come to their defense? Morpurgo is also the author of the best-selling 'War Horse'.
Ripley's Believe it or Not Sports by Geoff Tibballs
Ripley's Believe it or Not Wild Animals by Camilla de la Bedoyere
The Ripley's folks are famous for hard-to-believe books full of daring photos, unusual (to say the least) people and their unusual deeds. They never seem to disappoint a young reader's thirst for the bizarre and mind-boggling. In the 'sports' title there is the water-skiing squirrel, the man who bends nails with his teeth and 'cow patty bingo'. In the 'animals' title readers will find an African Watusi steer with horns 7 feet across and Dr. Norman Gary, an insect scientist who allows up to 100,000 bees to swarm all over his body. Read to decide if you believe it or not!

circa 1958
Benjamin Lee Smith
Biographical/Historical abstract:
Benjamin Lee Smith was superintendent of the Greensboro City Schools at the time of the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision ordering desegregation of public schools.
Additional contributor:
This circa 1958 speech by Greensboro City Schools Superintendent Benjamin L. Smith details school desegregation in Greensboro, North Carolina. Smith writes about the initial changes the Greensboro school board made to their policies following Brown v. Board of Education, including holding joint meetings with African American school administrators and listing schools alphabetically rather than by race. He explains the research and discussions that went into learning about desegregation, and details events in Greensboro that fostered better race relations, including allowing Dudley High School students to use the Greensboro Senior High gymnasium. He goes on to discuss the enrollment of six African American students at two previously all-white schools in 1957, and recalls incidents of protest and violence during the school year. Smith concludes the essay with reasons he feels Greensboro was able to desegregate schools.

Troopers are saying bad weather conditions were a factor in a two-car crash on Interstate 80 in Hamilton County that killed a Callaway woman.
The driver of one of the cars, Kristina Leigh Anne Allen, 19, died after the driver of a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer lost control of her car, crossing the median and striking Allen's 2000 Saturn.
Lindsay Schluntz, 28, of Kearney, was driving the SUV; she was not injured in the crash.
The accident occurred around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday near the Giltner exit on I-80.
Both women were wearing seat belts.
Because bad weather conditions leading to bad road conditions were a factor in this accident, the Nebraska State Patrol would like to remind drivers to adjust their speed and never travel faster than conditions allow.
Slick surfaces make it difficult to steer and stop. They warn to not drive in slick, wet, snowy weather with your cruise control on to give yourself plenty of time and distance to react to others around you.
The agency says to be sure to exercise caution on bridges and overpasses, keep your headlights on and make sure they are cleaned off.
Drivers can check road conditions at www.511.nebraska.gov; http://www.ndortraveler.mobi, the 511 Mobile Traveler Site; or by dialing 511 (800-906-9068) from any landline or cellular phone for information.

Datemi Tre Caravelle, a musical inspired by the life of Genovese explorer and mariner, Christopher Columbus, is currently playing all major Italian cities before it heads to New York and Broadway in October 2006. The production is designed by Oscar award-winning designer Gianni Quaranta and stars Alessandro Preziosi and Niki Nicolai with music by acclaimed Italian jazz musician, Stefano Di Battista. Italian rental company and theatre specialists, Fox Sound Service out of Aquila in Abruzzo furnished all the audio and lighting equipment for the show, including an InnovaSON Sy48 compact digital console for monitoring requirements.
The show actually started with an analog console on monitors, but had to transfer to digital during its run. Monitor engineer Stefano del Vecchio was nervous about the transition, as it would be his first experience with a digital console. "Whether I liked it or not, I was going to have to make the transition to digital sooner or later," says del Vecchio. "I'd reached the limits of the possibilities on the analog console I was using. Unless I went for an analog console that was physically bigger and, therefore, offered more capacity, the only option left was digital. The Sy48 enabled me to remain with the same physical footprint (in fact, it was even smaller) yet offered me everything I needed and more in terms of inputs and features."
Del Vecchio particularly appreciated Sy48's assignable faders, the input and output patch capabilities, and the OverRam function–a time-saving utility which allows users to copy parameter changes in RAM without having to modify all of the pages individually. He also found the audio quality to be exceptional, and that the state-of-the-art mike preamplifiers are "much better than on many professional analogue consoles."
"I'd say that our move from analog to digital has been nothing but positive," concludes Del Vecchio. "My initial misgivings simply evaporated as soon as I started using the desk. The sensitivity of the EQs, the possibility of having all the parameters under control without menus or layers, and the sheer problem-solving abilities of the console made using the Sy48 one of the most exciting and innovative experiences in my ten years as a sound engineer."

A Marion County group has been working to make a difference in the community and it hasn't gone unnoticed by the Marion County Commission.
Operation Image aims to clean up the county and make it a more attractable place to live.
It has already cleaned up the entrance to Woodlawn Cemetery, worked on landscaping by the Women's Club, and more.
The Marion County Commission gave Operation Image $5,000 toward its cause.
"We've done many things; little things. But little details make a big difference. When someone comes to your town and they see things they must go 'wow they like their town because they are getting it cleaned up'," said Nancy Bickerstaff, of Operation Image.
Bickerstaff said the next project Operation Image will take on is the littering problem in the county.

I have seen so many bands so many times, i am sick of them
Best bands I saw:
Iron Maiden (3 times)
Judas Priest (3 times)
Slayer 2 x
megadeth 2 x
cradle 3 x
Arch Enemy 4 x
I always went to graspop, one of the best metalfestivals, saw all the best of the best in couple of days. Every year a lot of the same bands come back.
The only band I wanted to see and I never saw was Deicide, I was supposed to see them here in Belgium, but then they cancelled. I actually took the day off for that one. Then they were supposed to play on Graspop festival, they cancelled that one too. Then they revisted Belgium with the new line-up, where did they play? The other part of the country
I once had the chance to see Metallica but ended up not going.

There is new information in the case of a missing 81-year-old Las Vegas woman who vanished mysteriously. Opal Marie Parsons went missing Thursday morning, Aug. 30. Since she's been missing, police confirm her ATM card has been used.
The TV was left on, a key was still in the front door and now police are confirming Opal Parsons' ATM card was used at local casino the day after she went missing -- and they don't believe she was the one who used it.
It's not necessarily the news her family was hoping for.
Every time the phone rings, Carol Holt's heart stops. "Is there some information, waiting for some news like we found her or her to be calling," said Holt.
For the last five days, Holt and her brother Terry Parsons have been posting up fliers, making phone calls -- anything to find their mom.
"Where has she been sleeping. It's been five days and without any record of staying at a hotel or word from hospital. Where is she?" asks Parsons.
Detective Dan Holley is asking that same question. Surveillance video from Sam's Town Casino should also provide some answers.
Police say Parsons' debit card was used at an ATM machine inside the casino on Friday afternoon. Parsons went missing on Thursday.
"We're fairly confident at this point just based on the details of that withdrawal that she didn't make that withdrawal," said Det. Holley.
Detectives know which ATM and what time the debit card was used and Parsons doesn't show up on surveillance video during that time. Police say she left her home on Thursday with the TV still on and her car in the driveway.
Police say something or someone got Parsons to open that front door.
"She either has been mentally incapacitated but we're leaning more with somebody came and took her and abducted her," said her son.
For them, the wait continues.
"We're waiting for word, hopefully from the detective to give us something to go on or look at. I don't know what's next," said Holt.
And not knowing is the hardest part of all.
The family says Parsons has no history of mental illness. Just to be safe, police have contacted women's shelters and adult mental hospitals with no luck. They're also asking valley hospitals to double check their rosters.
For now, they don't have a suspect, but they are hoping that surveillance video from Sam's Town Casino may provide another lead.
Please call CrimeStoppers at 385-5555 if have seen Opal or have any information.

A: Thank you for your terrific question!
Before we begin the analysis, there are two facts we need to keep in mind:
- Since oil is an internationally traded commodity and since Canada is so small relative to the United States and the EU, price changes in oil are caused by international factors outside of Canada.
- Since the demand for both oil and gas are quite inelastic in the short run, a rise in oil prices causes the dollar value of the oil sold to rise. (That is, while the quantity sold will reduce, the higher price will cause the total revenue to rise, not fall).
Higher oil prices drive up the Canadian dollars through one of two mechanisms, which have the same end impact. The difference is on whether or not the oil is priced in Canadian or American dollars, but the final impact is identical.
The Oil is Priced in U.S. DollarsThis is the most likely of the two stories. If this is the case then when the price of oil goes up, Canadian oil companies receive more U.S. dollars. Since they pay their employees (and taxes and many other expenses) in Canadian dollars, they need to exchange U.S. dollars for Canadian ones on foreign exchange markets. So when they have more U.S. dollars, they supply more U.S. dollars and demand more Canadian dollars. Thus, as shown in A Beginner's Guide to Exchange Rates and the Foreign Exchange Market, the increase in supply of the U.S. dollar drives the price of the U.S. dollar down. Similarly, the increase in demand for the Canadian dollar drives the price of the Canadian dollar up.
The Oil is Priced in Canadian DollarsThis is a less likely scenario, but easier to explain. If oil is priced in Canadian dollars, and the Canadian dollar rises in value, then American companies need to buy more Canadian dollars on foreign exchange markets. So the demand for Canadian dollars rises along with the supply of U.S. dollars. This causes the price of Canadian dollars to rise and the supply of U.S. dollars to fall.
I hope I have successfully answered your question.
If you have any questions about exchange rates, oil prices, or any other topic, you can contact me by using the feedback form.

A Lubbock home was the target of burglars, Monday afternoon. Police say two suspect broke into a home in the 3800 block of 31st street and tried to take off with items inside. However, one thing they didn't count on, was a quick thinking neighbor who saw the whole thing happen, and then chased them down.
During a break at work, Jamie Casarez ran home to check on his dogs, Monday afternoon. However, he noticed something suspicious. He says he saw two men in the doorway of his neighbor's apartment.
"The suspects came out and yelled 'hurry up' so the other guy came out with the TV, said 'why, what's wrong?' As soon as they saw me, they jumped in a Suburban and took off," Casarez, said.
Police say one of those suspects was Antonio Garcia. Casarez didn't waste any time. He hopped into his car and chased the men.
"That's when I started following them. I went down Memphis, north and started driving around Covenant, and they were trying to lose me, so I just kept following them," Casarez said.
Casarez drove after the men for three miles, down the Marsha Sharp Freeway, onto Slide Road and down to 24th Street. They crashed through a yard, and into a tree. Casarez jumped out of his work van and chased the men down. He was able to catch up to Garcia, but the other suspect got away.
"I caught up to one of the suspects and that's where I actually tripped them and then when I tripped him, I kicked him and started punching him," Casarez said.
Casarez says he's glad he did what he did, but he knows it was risky.
"I don't know, I guess quick thinking. Right place, right time. I know it's kind of crazy, what I did, but, I wasn't just going to let him get away," Casarez said.
Casarez says he has installed cameras into his own home to prevent burglars from breaking into his own home. Meantime, police are still looking for the second suspect in his neighbors burglary.
