Lebanon blast: Top official and seven others killed
The head of intelligence for Lebanon's national police and security force has been killed in a huge car bomb explosion in Beirut.
Wissam al-Hassan was among at least eight people killed by the explosion in the heart of the mainly Christian Ashrafiyeh district.
Mr al-Hassan led the investigation that implicated Syria in the bombing that killed the former prime minster Rafiq Hariri in 2005, and he recently organised the arrest of a former minister, accused of planning a Syrian-sponsored bombing campaign in Lebanon.
Many Lebanese Sunni Muslims have taken to the streets, burning tyres, to denounce Mr Hassan's assassination.
Syria has condemned the bombing. But in an interview with the Lebanese channel Future Television, Rafiq Hariri's son, Saad al-Hariri, placed the blame for Mr Hassan's death directly with Syria's President Assad.
The BBC's Wyre Davies reports from the scene.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/29/13 -- Webtrends, the global leader in digital intelligence, today announced significant enhancements to its groundbreaking Webtrends Streams solution, including Session Streams, full-session scoring and an integration with Responsys (NASDAQ: MKTG), a leading provider of email and relationship-based marketing solutions. Launched in December, Webtrends Streams is the first scalable streaming architecture pushing real-time visitor and event-level data into the marketing ecosystem to drive immediate action.
The proliferation of mobile and social channels, along with the increasing demand to launch and run in-the-moment dynamic campaigns, is driving the need to have more direct messaging with visitors at the right time. Webtrends Streams allows customers to increase engagement and conversion with visitors while they are on a site, no matter which device or platform they are using, fueling relevant content and offers based on historical profiles and in-session behavior. The solution also tracks and responds to customer events and behavior without a time delay as data is pushed to the marketer as activity occurs. This enables marketers to adjust content and offers based on customer behavior, when responding in seconds matters.
"It's a mistake to treat real-time analytics as reporting eye candy, because the real goal is instant insight that drives immediate action.... Digital marketing interactions play out at increasingly high speeds, reducing the time organizations have to identify and react to opportunities to optimize customer interactions," wrote Joe Stanhope, principal analyst, Forrester Research in a Forrester report.(1)
Webtrends is announcing the following powerful new features with Webtrends Streams:
- Session Streams - Customers will instantly have access to the complete rich visitor session details about each event during the visit, as each event occurs, while the visitor is still onsite. Additionally, high-value session summary information will be available in the Stream including the number of product views, events, purchases and abandonment status specific to that individual session. Access to this information as-it-happens will provide valuable business insight for marketing professionals and optimize offer relevance and product recommendations when consumed by online targeting and remarketing applications.
- Full-Session Scoring - Leveraging the powerful Session Streams data, Webtrends Optimize, which allows customers to test, segment and target content on their sites, will be packaged with Webtrends Streams to provide instant clarity about the full value of an individual visitor while they are still onsite. Until now, marketers have used historical information to determine the value of a visitor after they have left a site. Full-session scoring will enable high-precision content testing and targeting based upon the actions a visitor takes before they leave a site. For example, customers could specify that visitors who are still onsite, have added more than one item to their cart, but fewer than three items, and have not yet made a purchase, will be shown a special offer.
- Webtrends Streams with Responsys - A first-of-its-kind packaged solution with Responsys will enable marketers to take action on any as-it-occurs visitor behavior, such as browsing, purchases or cart abandonment with immediate remarketing campaigns. By being able to respond in a timely and relevant manner via email, mobile or social channels with relevant offers or promotions, brands will experience improved engagement, higher conversion rates and optimized ROI.
Webtrends Push API
Webtrends Streams offers a push API that enables easy consumption of the stream in powerful data visualizations, machine-to-machine solutions, or delivered directly into a customer's big data solution. The Webtrends Streams API provides a flexible method for filtering, tailoring or configuring the stream to any specific needs.
Sessions Streams is in use by Webtrends Early Adopters today and will be generally available by early Q2 2013 along with Responsys integration. Full-session Scoring with Optimize will be available by the end of Q2 2013.
Comments About the News:
"Delivering the right message to the right audience at the right time is the goal of all digital marketers, and the key to creating successful programs and campaigns. To-date, marketers have been working with 'real-time' solutions that experienced delays of up to minutes or hours after an event. This has cost them customers, conversions and ultimately ROI. Now, the rich data Webtrends Streams provides combined with these new integrations, enable marketers to take critical action on what is trending across their digital properties in the moment."
-- Alex Yoder, CEO, Webtrends
"We are proud to be partnering with Webtrends to offer an integration with Streams. For too long, marketers have been searching for a way to have their digital intelligence fuel their email campaigns, not just immediately after an event happens, but as it's happening. Webtrends is finally fulfilling the promise of as-it-occurs remarketing and our integration is the logical next step."
-- Scott Olrich, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer, Responsys
"By using Webtrends Streams, we are able to see the geographic location of our customers and the items on our site they are interested in as they are shopping. This has allowed us to optimize our content to better meet their needs and increase conversion. Streams is a game-changing technology and we're excited about the enhancements announced today -- they will allow us to take our digital intelligence one step further by driving information back into our marketing ecosystem."
-- Jason Miller, VP of Technology, Motorcycle Superstore

hahaha, your reaction is hilarious. Holly shit, did you get so offended? Holly shit, hold your tits, mate. Everyone has their crazies, America's crazies being just more loud and more covered by the media... Look for instance in Romania a woman sued the Romanian government because her father was a political prisoner during the communist period. She said she calculated that 17 billion dollars would cover the suffering her father (now dead of old age) endured in the prison.... number of days in prison * by the price of the food he did not received and somehow she ended up with that...
#37 - dariussibiu (05/20/2014) [-]
and in my case, the fact that the only American I know is a walking stereotype does not help with America's image. Don't get me wrong, you are great country and all. Just keep your shit to yourself.
#36 - dariussibiu (05/20/2014) [-]
Stereotypes are made by people and media(culture) your country exports, the way you present yourself, that is the way people will know you. If every other mouth you report about some crazy people suing for shit reasons, you (America) create the stereotype about yourself. You wear like a badge on your shirt and walk around with it proudly. This is 'the reason' and because you made it, you deserve it. I am sure no one decided one day to say: 'lets make fun of Americans and say they sue each like crazy, even if we know it's not true'... just because you are the stereotype for crazy lawsuits, it does not mean you are the only one with crazy lawsuits, you are just the one that makes if so clearly visible to the world.

Our team of sourcing experts just got back from Sicily, where they celebrated the first harvest and press of the season, hand-picking our own custom blend of olives to make a unique olio novello (new oil) exclusive to FreshDirect. Ken, our specialty merchant, described this ready-to-use oil as "fresh, vibrant, and luscious." This limited-time delicacy is blended, pressed, and shipped from Italy within a week, meaning it's as fresh and tasty as can be. Pairing ideas and videos on how we sourced our olio novello after the jump!
Our Trip to a Local Cranberry Bog
It's always such a joy to join the merchant teams on their #freshadventures, where they meet amazing farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and producers. Just recently, I had the thrill of joining the produce team on their visit to Pine Barrens Native Fruits, a fifth-generation cranberry farm in southern New Jersey.
Brenda, the bog's owner, and Tom, the bog's right-hand-man, gave us an extensive tour of the farm, which has been in the family since the mid-1800s and was founded by Brenda's husband's Great-Aunt Lizzy White.
Fresh Adventure: Wild Alaskan Salmon Run
Our fish team recently headed out to sea in Alaska to learn about the local fish species. In addition to catching a 45 lb king salmon (the largest catch of the day!), the team landed halibut, Alaskan red snapper, and cod. Our Senior Fish Buyer, Mike Kanter, shared his first-hand fresh adventure with us below:
Finn's FreshDirect Birthday Box
Earlier this year while I was helping to launch FreshDirect's new pet shop, I couldn't wait for its arrival on the site for one main reason: his name is Finnegan and he's my black pug.
The samples would come in and I'd think, "Finn would love this!" And my dog has very discerning tastes (just kidding—he would eat anything given the opportunity).
When my FreshDirect order arrives every week, he looks on with curiosity, circling the boxes and sniffing for exciting items. But last Sunday, his 4thbirthday (yes, I celebrate my dog's birthday), he got a box all to himself.
When placing Finn's birthday order, I decided to go with two types of treats and two new toys. He'd already rotated through any toy samples I brought home, and I could tell he was itching for something new and exciting….
FD Easter and Passover Traditions
Colored eggs! Afikoman! Glazed ham! Braised lamb shank! Whatever your Easter and Passover traditions are, embrace the old or start some new during this spring season of renewal. I asked my FreshDirect colleagues to share their holiday traditions with me so that I could share them with all of you!…
Chef Bourbeau on the Secrets of Amazing Sandwiches
Having just launched the new FreshDirect Sandwich Shop, Chef Tina Bourbeau chats with us about eating her way through Philadelphia's legendary sandwich shops, developing the FreshDirect line and what it takes to go from a good sandwich to a great sandwich….
Perfect Food Pairs: These Flavors Are Even Better Together
Peanut butter + Jelly. Both ingredients are great alone, but they're a little more special when they're together.
In honor of the Valentine's Day holiday, we asked the food experts around FreshDirect to share a few of their favorite combinations. What's great on its own, but amazing when it's paired?
Let's start with a few of my own perfect pairs……
FD Christmas and Hanukkah Food Traditions
When I was small, I got to have two Christmas dinners; one was classic American, with ham and all the traditional sides, and one was an Italian version.
On Christmas Eve, my nonna would spend all day cooking, and by the time she was done, we would be treated to multiple courses. We'd start with pasta topped with fish sauce and freshly grated parmesan, and lead into a course with calamari and fried shrimp, another with breaded steak and chicken cutlets with green bean salad, squid salad, and pan-fried peas, and then finish off with one of my all-time favorite foods: artichokes stuffed with sharp provolone cheese. We'd finish the meal with milky, extra-sweet coffee (even the kids), cracked nuts, and panettone with butter or homemade frittole. To me, there is no greater meal.
By the time I was in grade school, I realized that not every family celebrated the same way, and that our tradition was truly special. That's why I'm always fascinated by other people's food traditions; after all, the food makes the holiday. I asked around the office and the answers were as diverse as I imagined….
Meet and Greet with Chef Tina Bourbeau
Here at the FreshDirect headquarters, we're lucky to work with many interesting people who share our passion for food.
One great example is Chef Tina Bourbeau, Executive Chef/Senior Director of Research and Development here at FreshDirect.
I sat down with Tina to find out why she went into the food business in the first place.
FD: What was the inspiration to make food your business?
TB: Cooking is the only profession I've ever had, and I am grateful that I get paid to do what I love and am deeply passionate about — anything else seems like torture.
FD: What was the road that led you to FreshDirect?
TB: After studying at Peter Kump's New York Cooking School (now I.C.E.), I started cooking my way through various NYC kitchens. My first job was at Oceana – while still in school. This was when anything less than a 6-day work-week wasn't even a consideration. I was the first woman to work in that kitchen (boy, times have changed!)….
It's a Farmer's Life for Them!
"Farmers eat a lot of their own food," declared Tom Wickham of Wickham's Farm in Cutchogue, New York. "We grow what we like to eat, so you know it's going to be good."
This sentiment is shared by all of the local Long Island farmers with which FreshDirect partners. The products are grown to spec for all to enjoy.
When asked what the inspiration is for the crops he grows, Lyle Wells (Wells Homestead Acres) responded with, "We give 'em what they want. That's why we grow sugar snap peas and asparagus. If we could grow bananas, we would grow bananas."…

In her TV-movie debut, Jane Fonda stars as an illiterate Kentucky woman who uproots her children to follow her husband to Detroit during World War II, where he has found work as a mechanic, and tries to adjust to a new way of life by utilizing her natural talents as a wood carver. Susan Cooper and Hume Cronyn, who together wrote the Broadway play, "Foxfire," in which Cronyn starred with his wife, Jessica Tandy, reunited to do the television adaptation of Harriette Arnow's novel. Tandy initially was to have played the role of Fonda's mother, but a previous film commitment caused her to give up the part to Geraldine Page. It was Emmy Award nominated as Outstanding Drama Special, Jane Fonda was nominated as Outstanding Actress, and the writing, costume design, and sound mixing also were nominated.

Associations and trade groups announce participation in 2013 trade fair.
Conference organizer Messe München International says the IFAT India event, taking place Oct. 24-26, 2013, at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC) in Mumbai, is gaining additional allies.
"Local and international trade associations are giving strong support to the premiere of IFAT India," says Messe München in an early October 2012 news release.
The National Solid Waste Association of India (NSWAI) is among the groups taking part. "I know IFAT Entsorga in Munich very well and I am sure that IFAT India will also establish itself as a successful event," says Dr. Amiya Kumar Sahu, president of the NSWAI.
As well, Dr. Armin Vogel, chairman of the German Recycling Technologies and Waste Management Partnership Association e.V. (RETech), says, "The Indian environmental market needs holistic solutions, and IFAT India covers all the sectors relevant to that market. This makes it the ideal trade show for environmental solutions."
Another trade group taking part is the German Association for Water, Wastewater and Waste (Deutsche Vereinigung für Wasserwirtschaft, Abwasser und Abfall e.V. , or DWA). "As a conceptual sponsor of the sector's leading international trade fair, IFAT Entsorga, a role we have played right from the start of that event, we are confident that Messe München is making the right step at the right time for the sector by launching IFAT INDIA," says Johannes Lohaus, managing director of DWA.
IFAT INDIA's other international partners include the European Water Association (EWA), the Bundesvereinigung der Firmen im Gas- und Wasserfach (FIGAWA), the Umweltcluster Bayern, the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), the Indian Water Works Association (IWWA), the Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Public Health (StMUG) and the Verband Deutscher Rohr- und Kanal-Technik-Unternehmen (VDRK).
Messe München International has also announced that registration documents for IFAT India will be ready at the end of October 2012. At that time, the forms can be download from the show's website at www.ifat-india.com.
Messe München International says it anticipates that IFAT India will attract some 100 exhibitors and 6,000 visitors to an exhibit hall that may use up as much as 64,000 square feet (6,000 square meters) of space.

Authors of an article featured in the current issue of Weed Technology collected waterhemp seed samples across Missouri to identify factors leading to glyphosate resistance.
Controversial research which linked genetically modified corn to cancer and premature death in rats has been retracted by a food safety journal after the study's authors refused to withdraw the paper.

Monsanto won its suit against Indiana farmer Vernon Bowman for reproducing the company's patented genetically altered soybean seed without its authorization.
In a victory for patent holders, the Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision on Monday stating farmers could not use agricultural biotech company Monsanto's patented and genetically modified soybeans to generate new seeds without sending the company a fee.

Roundup Ready Soybean, GTS 40-3-2, is a genetically engineered variety of glyphosate-resistant soybeans created by Monsanto. Glyphosate kills plants by obstructing the synthesis of the essential amino acids phenylaline, tyrosine, and tryptophan.

Thousands join Peace Now 'Rally for Democracy' in Tel Aviv challenging NGO probes
On Saturday, thousands of Israelis marched in Tel Aviv under the banner "Demonstration (since it's still possible) for democracy" - a reference to a proposed measure currently under consideration in the Israeli Knesset that would require investigations of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) which criticize the actions of the Israeli military.
The marchers gathered for a rally in front of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, where Knesset (Parliament) members and human rights leaders addressed the crowd. They challenged what they called a 'culture of racism' that they say has pervaded the Israeli Knesset, under the leadership of Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.

Men like big TVs. I don't know why, but we do.
For the last few weeks I have been bereft of my man cave and the beloved big television it contains. We had to move out of our house for a few weeks so earthquake damage could be fixed. The television went into storage.
We moved back in this week and the television has been restored to its rightful place on the altar, I mean TV cabinet, in the spare room, I mean man cave.
At both ends of our brief exile, two different removal men were separately captivated by the big television. The moment they set eyes on its majesty, a beatific grin spread across their face. Both removal men said something along the lines of: "Ah, it's the jewel of your house, eh?".
I nodded silently and we both stood staring at the television with our arms folded, knowing we were sharing in a moment of male bonding. I imagine in decades past men would have nodded together over a mounted lion's head or a particularly impressive globe-shaped drinks cabinet. "I say, Carstairs, that is a magnificently elaborate cigar guillotine.''
Don't get me wrong. When I say big television I only mean about 42 inches. I bought it last year after saving my pennies for some time. It was a big purchase, but one I have never regretted. A big telly, a Blu Ray player and surround sound speakers maketh a man cave. Sometimes, when I sit there watching a movie, I think it might be better than the cinema. The image is so crisp and the jug is so close. At any moment I can pause the film to make a cup of tea and some toast -something that would cause major disruption at the cinema.
My partner, the Essex Princess, thinks of this space as the tiny spare room where we keep our fresh laundry, but to me, it is a veritable picture palace. I may have to push the laundry aside so I can make space to sit on the sofa, but that doesn't matter. There's a cinema paradisio in my beautiful laundrette. It's about as close as you can get in adulthood to a fort made of sofa cushions.
But why does a big television hold such allure for men? What is it about a big slab of shiny technology that appeals to us so?
Men respond to big televisions the same way those apes responded to the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
In fact, here is some footage I managed to capture when the television was first delivered to my house:
As you can see, it was all very exciting.
So, I'm glad to be reunited with my television once again. It will be fun to catch up with all the new DVDs I have missed over the last few weeks. I'm sure to write about them here, so stay tuned.
But, what about you? Do you find that fascination with big tellys tends to divide down gender lines? Is your partner obsessed by the flat screen or bafflingly incurious? Post below.
I have set up a Facebook page for this blog. ''Like'' if you want blog updates, want to put a trailer my way or suggest a blog topic.

A man who was wanted for allegedly raping a woman in Georgia has been arrested in Berks County, authorities said.
Richardo Salgado-Marban was apprehended Monday in the 1800 block of Kline Road in Robeson Township, the U.S. Marshals said.
Salgado-Marban, 53, of Gainesville, raped a 32-year-old woman in Hall Co., Georgia, on May 3, 2011, and went on the run after posting bail, the county's district attorney said Tuesday.
The U.S. Marshals initially reported the alleged victim was a minor.
Salgado-Marban was committed to the Berks County Jail while he awaits extradition to Georgia.

Huge offensive tackle, Dakota Siniard, of West Limestone HS in Lester, Alabama, has committed to Southern Miss after a visit today.
On his way to the beach after his visit, he caught up with GoldenEaglePride.com.
"Yes sir, I committed today to the Golden Eagles," Siniard said.
"I wasn't looking to commit to be honest. We just were going to visit on our way to the beach. Then, I got there, and my family and I were just blown away."
What was it that impressed the huge tackle?
"It was the family atmosphere that I had not seen on any other campus," he said. "From the coaches, to the academics, to the players.
"Southern Miss had everything I was looking for."
Siniard said he is ready now to shut everything down and focus on the season ahead.
"I don't want to go through any more recruiting," he said. "I'm committed to Southern Miss. That's it.
"All I want to do now is get bigger, work hard, and get ready for my career at Southern Miss."
Siniard had offers to MTSU, Murray State, and Troy in addition to his offer to Southern Miss.

Score from 2053 reviews Very good
Staff are very friendly. Cozy hotel and spacious room. Good value for money. Difficult access by car but very close by to the La Ramblas
The noise coming from the neighborhood.
Very good location close to everything (five minutes walk to Ramblas or harbor). Staff very helpful. Simple elegant decor. Nice view from the top floor where you can relax at the swimming pool. We would definitely stay again.
The only thing which should be corrected in this hotel is the musty (sewer) smell in the bathrooms. We stayed in three different rooms and the smell was always there with a different intensity. Some people may object to the noise coming from the street. However, with windows closed there is no problem.
The staff was exceptional from the first hello to the last goodbye. Rooms were comfortable, the shower was a great surprise. The location was perfect. A few blocks to anywhere you needed to go. We would stay again and again.
It would be nice if a small breakfast room could be added. However, the corner bar next door was great !!
Located in the old town, narrow streets outside unsuitable for all except delivery traffic. Near baker, supermarket, pharmacist cafes and cycle hire - all within 1 minute of front door. Staff really helpful.
No proper size cups for making tea, just the very small expresso cups.
Location and surrounding was nice and interior and staff were very nice.
One of the main reason why we choose this hotel and this type of room was to have a nice area to sit down and relax together in the evenings.It went totally wrong. One was sitting on a chair and one was sitting on bed; we were suppose to have a room with sitting area and sofa with small table but we have only one chair!
Loved the property and the location. Rooms were lovely with everything available including a well stocked fridge. Staff extremely helpful. Many unique features making it a really classy unique property
Poor internet connection was the only thing that let this place down. Although the staff did their best I either couldn't connect at all or when I did it kept dropping off. Only other thing which I was slightly disappointed with was having to pay for the coffee pods to use with the coffee machine although not at all unusual in Europe
Staff was exceptional. Room decor was wonderful. Couldn't! Have been much better!
Would be nice to have small breakfast room.
The apartments are very attractive, comfortable beds, excellent shower room. The kitchen is good with a large fridge and plenty of cupboard space. Nice communal roof terrace with a small pool.
Wi-fi was patchy but ok for e-mails etc.
Extremely attentive and friendly staff, beautiful room, wonderful location
We decided to book this hotel because of the location, family rooms (difficult to find in other hotels of comparable quality in Barcelona!), and swimming pool. We were not disappointed, it was super! Self-catered breakfast in the hotel-room was no problem: The room has a dining table and nice kitchen-area with enough equipment for breakfast. A bakery (open on Sunday) and supermarket is very closeby. The rooftop pool-area has an open free view over the city which is nice. But beware -minor detail- the view is not the most beautiful view you can imagine, it's only other rooftops that you see. Thanks to the great staff for printing out all our on-line reservations, and for all other support. We really had a very nice long weekend in Barcelona!
Amazing hotel with beautiful rooms and a fantastic staff.
Come on, get with it, and install a normal/easy/fast wi-fi network that doesn't require so many security keys and actually works. Rooms on the plaza in the back are seriously loud Friday and Saturday nights until 3am at least.
Helpful, friendly and kind staff
Location, building, room design, soundproof windows, staff.
Weak WiFi / Internet access
very friendly and attending staff, clean & quiet rooms, beautiful interior, great location - walking distance to major attractions.
internet speed wasn't high and wifi connection was strong.
Really helpful staff, I forgot my Kindle and they sent it right away, super!!!
Location in the old city Friendly helpful staff Historic building with a contemporary style
Not a dislike but a small restaurant on the premises would have been good even if only for breakfast/light meals
location, decoration/style, swimming pool
The staff were all very helpful, friendly and great with our children. We loved the location for beginning our walking adventures everyday and the proximity of great evening venues for dinner and drinks.
I loved that I was able to stay at the 5th floor where my room had its own outdoor jacuzzi and was also right next door to the hotel's swimming pool. Loved the hotel, the staff and the location - would not hesitate to stay here again when in Barcelona!
Loved everything about the hotel - there was nothing that I did not like.
Everything but the noise.
Was on first floor and noise was going on all night long. There is a bar on the corner and narrow streets echoed. Request a room not facing the main street -or bring ear plugs but that did not help and I'm not a light sleeper.
Great size room. Perfect location. Quiet. Staff very helpful. Well equipped. Great place to stay while exploring the city.
Wifi was a bit patchy but otherwise everything was excellent!
Fantastic location
Super friendly staff, great interior design, very quiet rooms when windows are closed, excellent restaurant in the hotel building, perfect location
double beds are narrow, not very comfortable for two people of regular size
Great staff, great hotel, great location.....................................................................................................................................................................
Provided good advice and very helpful. Happy bunch of people.

You know it had to happen. As game that is as fun as it is simple can't help but get sucked up by a mobile game developer.
Today in-Fusion announced that they landed an agreement to developer and distribute a mobile version of Line Rider. Line Rider Mobile will let you create and run tracks on your phone and then instantly share them with other mobile gamers. You will also be able to upload your tracks to the official Line Rider site where they can mingle with tracks created on the PC, Wii and DS versions of the game.
While execs at in-Fusion are enthusing over the game's "perfect fit" for the mobile market, I'm not quite sure if I see that. The chief problem will be actually creating the tracks. Are you going to have to use the keypad? (I can't think of any other way.) If so it's going to be about as fun as Etch-A-Sketch on a phone. As in suck. Brian Crecente

Ms.Christine O'Donnell, Occupy vs. Tea Party Isn't Your Idea!
Christine O'Donnell was a witch and now she's a thief! : The failed Delaware Republican senate candidate has announced she will be hosting an Occupy vs. Tea Party debate during her 'Troublemaker Fest,' which is being held the same week as the Republican National Convention. : The problem is that the idea of having two most prominent political grassroots organizations in the country duking it out over a debate wasn't her idea. It's the brainchild of Gordon Gebert.
Gebert is a musician—who decided that it would be interesting to bring these two groups together in a Survivor/Big Brother modeled reality series. : He has almost worked himself to death trying to market the idea and procuring sponsors. : When his modest goal of raising $10,000 was met, he planned on starting filming in Tampa during the convention when news of O'Donnell's brazen thievery became public.
I first posted about Occupy vs. Tea Party last April when I was able to have an interview with Mr. Gebert and found his project smart and original. : I updated my post: when he began his $10,000 fundraising effort. : This theft of intellectual property is beyond outrageous. : It seems Christine O'Donnell is nothing, but a leech. : A leech that appears to have no respect for Mr. Gebert or his work— which has been copyrighted and trademarked since November of 2011. : Robert Stacy McCain also posted about this today and reported that according to Lawrence Sinclair of the Sinclair News-LS News Group:
During the Thursday conference call O'Donnell was attempting to reach a broadcasting deal with The Young Turks while representing that she was the creator and owner of the trademark. Despite repeatedly being told by the Trademark & Copyright owner she could not use his brand in her Tampa event, O'Donnell decided she wanted to take her chances in litigation and told Gebert, "sue me." According to spokesperson for Mr. Gebert after becoming aware of O'Donnell's press release by email which was picked up by ABC News, Yahoo News, Huffington Post, and others; Attorney's for Mr. Gebert will file the necessary documents to obtain a restraining order prohibiting O'Donnell from proceeding with the unauthorized use of his trademark brand to promote her event.
Later today, once the Sinclair piece went up, O'Donnell lawyered up and continues to say that she is the legal owner of Occupy vs. Tea Party. : However, according to Sinclair, O'Donnell did removed : the erroneous claim that this event will be hosted by Chuck Woolery. : The Troublemaker Fest website has also been tweaked a bit. On the other hand, Woolery has expressed interest in hosting Occupy vs. Tea Party, but only Gebert's copyrighted version of the show.
Now, Gebert did receive a text message from Rachel Torres, O'Donnell's assistant, saying:
However, when Sinclair tried to contact O'Donnell for an interview about this latest development, he got this.
Ms. O'Donnell, we're not harassing you. : You stole someone else's intellectual property, which makes you a thief.: : It's time to admit it Ms. O'Donnell. : You were an embarrassment in 2010 and you're an embarrassment now.
Full disclosure: I have donated $50 to Gordon Gebert's project to help fund the pilot episode
