Love them both. The flowers are just fantastic though…a great combo of colors. I have czech glass flower envy.
Love these!
Great partners for your necklaces, Becky ! Especially like how the second pair hangs – - you did a great job on balancing the flowers and leaves.
Both pairs are beautiful. My favorite is the second pair. I love the flower
beads. Swarovski crystals and flower beads are staples in my stash.
These are both beautiful! I especially like the acorn ones with the little leaves dangling. So cute!
I can't choose!! I REALLY think you should do a flower necklace though….
I agree, a flower necklace would be spectacular. My fave earrings are the flower ones as well. Just like the colors.
Ooooh! This is pretty.
I love both pairs and WANT both pairs! They are wonderful!
I want both, too!
Love them both!
AWESOME!!! Love them both. You know I'm crazy about bellflowers, so that's an automatic FAVE!
I also really like the simplicity of the acorns. The little bit of leaf chain adds the perfect touch!
GORGEOUS! These are way too cute! Love em! You are on quite the beading frenzy! I sooo love these colors too! What are the Czech glass minty leaves that have the coppery/bronze color on them? Did you get those from Lima? Like Deb, I too have Czech glass flower envy! %)
Jess–not at Lima. It was someplace on Etsy. If I can remember which Etsy shop I will let you know but there are a bunch of places that sell them –Lima has a set of colors, Artbeads has others, Bobbithisnthat, Beadsandbabble, and others on Etsy all have different colors. Just google them, too.
So loving all these great fall jewelry pieces on LB lately. And these are one of my favorites!
Love them both
Wowza Becky! I love these!

This approach is generally known as The Ramp. It can be very frightening when wet or icy in places - especially going up to Bon Homme or around past the Soler/TAD area.
The best descent route is the Meadows rappel. The Bon Homme rappels have some scary downclimbing and the Durrance rappels are almost always cloged with people climbing up. Be careful of rope eating cracks when pulling rap lines.
By Brian Milhaupt
From: Golden, CO

|I have heard this area described as the "bowling alley". Many routes, and the most popular rappel all funnel into the same small area. I have seen a climber incapacitated by rockfall when this area was hoppin'. A brain bucket is not a bad idea here.

|This approach has a couple of exposed 4th class moves on it. If you are not comfortable with that, I would rope up for it.
By Guy H.
From: Fort Collins CO
Oct 13, 2010
The Meadows rappel route can be done from the summit with a 70M. There is about 3ft to spare on each rappel except for the last one that ends at the beginning of the ramp. You will need to down climb about 5ft from a good stance.
Don't get your ropes stuck! Self rescue with a single rope might be a difficult.
By Nick Stayner
From: Billings, MT
Oct 21, 2014
I would say that the best descent route for this zone (possibly for the whole DeTow) is the Exit Us rap. This is the rap that starts with the two-bolt anchor on top of Cracko Diablo. With about 10' of 4th class downclimbing, a 70m double-rope rappel will reach the ledge at the base of Soler/TAD/Cracko. Watch your ends!
Alternatively, you can take one 70m rope and hit all the stations, getting back to the ledge in 3 or 4 raps.
IMO this area offers the least potential for getting ropes stuck, but pay attention to those below you. Cracko Diablo often has people on it.

Guest Post: Poor Thieves Go To Jail, Rich Thieves Don'tSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2012 - 20:50
A bank clerk who dreamed of becoming a model stole £46,000 from the tills — and spent it on plastic surgery and shopping sprees. Rachael Claire Martin, 24, used the cash to fund a boob job, dental work and liposuction, as well as hair extensions and nights out. Steal thousands from a bank? You face criminal charges, a trial and jail time.
When that same bank manipulates a $600 trillion market by rigging the LIBOR rate for profit? No criminal charges, no trial, no jail time.
We hope she achieves her dream of becoming a model. And We hope the LIBOR-riggers spend a very long time in jail — but in reality there's not much chance of that.

Deep Into The Lieborgate Rabbit Hole: The Swiss Hedge Fund Link?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2012 - 19:36
That Lieborgate is about to spill over and take down many more banks is well known: as previously reported that the world's biggest bank Deutsche Bank, has become a rat for the Liebor prosecution having turned sides. The reason: "Under the leniency programs of the EU, companies may get total immunity from fines or a reduction of fines which the anti-trust authorities would have otherwise imposed on them if they hand over evidence on anti-competitive agreements or those involved in a concerted practice." However, just like in the case of Barclays (with Diamond), JPM (with Bruno Iksil), UBS (with Kweku) and Goldman (with Fabrice Tourre), there always is a scapegoat. Today we find just who that scapegoat is. From Bloomberg: "Regulators are investigating the possible roles of Michael Zrihen at Credit Agricole, Didier Sander at HSBC and Christian Bittar at Deutsche Bank, the person said on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. The names of the banks and traders were reported earlier today by the Financial Times." Of course, as so very often happens, the link between the investigated firm, and the person in question no longer exists - after all what better brute way to tie up loose ends, than to fire the person in question at some point in the past: "Michael Golden, a spokesman for Deutsche Bank, confirmed that Bittar left the bank last year and declined to comment on the investigation." And since neither Bloomberg, nor the earlier FT article have any discussion of just where Mr. Bittar ended up, knowing quite well there is very likely a full-scale investigation forming into his Libor transgressions. The first place we went to, naturally, was LinkedIn, not because we expected to find his profile there: very few higher echelon bankers actually post their resumes on LinkedIn, but because we were fairly confident that the very useful function of seeing whose other profiles had been looked at in the context of even a "fake" Bittar, would provide us with clues. Sure enough that's precisely what happened.

Three US Aircraft Carriers Now In The Middle East With Fourth En RouteSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2012 - 18:43
A week ago we reported news that Middle East veteran aircraft carrier CVN-74 Stennis was ending its brief sabbatical prematurely, and far earlier than previously expected, and heading right back into the field, er sea, of action. As Kitsapsun reported, "Bremerton-based aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis is returning to the Middle East much sooner than expected. The Navy hasn't officially announced the new deployment plan for the Stennis, said spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Zach Harrell." The ship came home to Naval Base Kitsap on March 2 after seven months of launching planes into Iraq and Afghanistan. Generally, it wouldn't go back to the Fifth Fleet area of responsibility for four to five years, after a deployment to the Western Pacific and a maintenance period. But with Iran making threats, crew members learned Saturday they'll be leaving again in late August for eight months." We concluded that shortly, Stennis will be the third carrier accompanying Lincoln and Enterprise. As it turns out, a third carrier was already en route, and as of today, CVN 69 Eisenhower is either at the opening of the Straits of Hormuz, or just past it. That makes 3 aircraft carriers in the middle east, 2 in the Gulf and the Arabian Sea and one just off the coast of Syria. And technically, the LHD 7 Iwo Jima Big Deck Amphibious ship, which is also just off the coast of Iran region, makes three and a half. Which means that a 5th one (rounded up) - Stennis - is coming in 1-2 months. Good luck Iran.

The Asian-American Arms Race In ChartsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2012 - 17:43
"Asia is a study in contrasts. It is home to economic freedom and political liberty; it is also home to political instability and tyranny. Some of Asia's borders are unsettled and volatile. And military budgets and capabilities are expanding, sometimes faster than economic growth. The rise of China as a great power presents both sides of this equation. It is being watched carefully by all the countries of the region. It is the U.S. that is recognized as the catalyst in ensuring a prosperous peace over conflict. America is a Pacific power. That much is a matter of geography and history. But the facts – and America's principles and interests – demand more than resignation to geography. They call for continued American leadership, commitment, and the predominant comprehensive power that has enabled Asia's very welcomed, opportunity-laden rise." Thus prefaces the Heritage Foundation its Asian 'Book of Charts', which summarizes most of the key economic, financial, trade, geopolitical, most importantly militaristic tensions both in Asia and, by dint of being the global marginal economic force, the world itself. And while we will present the complete deck shortly, of particular interest we find the summary in 7 easy charts how Asia is slowly but surely catching up on that accepted by conventional wisdom GloboCop - the United States.

Brodsky On Gold, 'Credit Money', And Real Return InvestingSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2012 - 16:53
Macroeconomic issues currently playing out in Europe, Asia, and the United States may be linked by the same dynamic: over-leveraged banking systems concerned about repayment from public- and private-sector borrowers, and the implication that curtailment or non-payment would have on their balance sheets. Global banks are linked or segregated by the currencies in which they lend. Given the currencies in which their loan assets are denominated, market handicapping of the timing of relative bank vulnerability is directly impacting the relative value of currencies in the foreign exchange market, which makes it appear that the US dollar (and economy?) is, as Pimco notes, "the cleanest dirty shirt". Is there a clean shirt anywhere – creased, pressed and folded? QBAMCO's Paul Brodsky (in a deep dramatic voice-over) sets the scene: In a world where time series stand still... and real purchasing power value has no meaning... a few monetary bodies stand between economic death and destruction... between commercial hope and financial despair... between risk-free returns and return-free risk. Amid this set of conditions it seems entirely prudent to position purchasing power in vehicles that would benefit as the nominal stock of base money grows at a rate far in excess of the gold stock growth rate.

Bernanke's Libor AlternativesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2012 - 16:22
Libor is not a market determined interest rate, rather it is a trimmed mean from a survey of banks participating in a survey conducted on behalf of the British Bankers Association (BBA). There are a number of problems inherent in the survey-based Libor calculation. Chairman Bernanke was asked in testimony several times yesterday whether Libor should be dropped as a benchmark interest rate. His answer was Libor should be repaired or some market determined interest rate should be embraced as an alternative. He offered up 2 market-determined replacement possibilities for Libor: (1) Repo Rates; and (2) OIS rates. Both are market determined interest rates, but neither in our minds captures the essence of what Libor is supposed to measure. Stone & McCarthy's preference for a Libor alternative would simply be the eurodollar rate.

Guest Post: The Growing Pressures Likely To Blow The Eurozone ApartSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2012 - 15:49
There was yet another European Union summit at the end of June, which (like all the others) was little more than bluff. Read the official communiqué and you will discover that there were some fine words and intentions, but not a lot actually happened. The big news in this is the implication the ECB will, in time, be able to stand behind the Eurozone banks because it will accept responsibility for them. This is probably why the markets rallied on the announcement, but it turned out to be another dead cat lacking the elastic potential energy necessary to bounce. Meanwhile, Germany, meant to be the back-stop for this lunacy, is losing patience. It has become clear that the agreements that arose out of the June summit were not agreements at all. The questions arises: How can the Eurozone stay together, and if not, how quickly is it likely to start disintegrating? And where does the exchange rate for the euro fit in all this?

Low Volume Equity Decoupling Becoming FarcicalSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2012 - 15:22
UPDATE: AXP (down AH) and IBM (up AH) miss top-line; QCOM misses everything and guides down (up AH - AAPL staggered a little but unch now), EBAY beat (small up AH); KMI miss (down AH)
Far be it from us to say but once again equity markets spurted far and away beyond credit, interest rates, FX carry, commodities, and reality would have expected with only good-old VIX crashing to breathe that levered life into them. Ending the day with a 15 handle, VIX closed at its lowest in over three-and-a-half months and notably beyond where equity and credit relationships would expect as the front-end of the curve remains under huge pressure. Gold, the USD, and Treasury yields all played along on the day - trading with a decent correlation in a relatively narrow range but the open of the US day-session saw the appearance of the infamous equity rally-monkey who lifted us 1% in 30 mins then extended 10 more points into the European close. EUR roundtripped on the day leaving USD practically unch but -0.35% on the week. Credit markets were quiet (cash busier than synthetic) as IG, HY, and HYG all underperformed for the second day. Gold and Silver limped lower on the day as WTI surged back above $90 to two month highs. Treasuries traded in a very narrow range ending the day -2bps across the curve. Financials underperformed as Tech and Industrials reached for the skies with a 1.75% boost today (makes perfect sense after the earnings?). Decent average trade size on the day which was more prevalent up above 1365 suggests more unwinds of blocks into strength but something has to give with VIX for this train to stop running.

Sicily Is Greece As Italy Provides EUR400 Million 'Risk-Free' Bailout/LoanSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2012 - 14:51
We thought it was coming (as we wrote yesterday); we heard the rumors; but now the 'temporary liquidity problem' that faced Sicily has been resolved by... yes, you guessed it - the transfer of EUR400 million from the Italian government. Do not worry though. As one official noted "there's no default risk for Sicily, whose budget was in surplus in 2010 and 2011". Unbelievable.
"The developments in Sicily are very serious," said Prof Giuseppe Ragusa from Luiss University in Rome. "It is just the sort of negative shock we don't want right now. Everything has to go perfectly for Italy to pull through."

Is This Why VIX Is Behaving So Strangely?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2012 - 14:22
Hedging basic equity positions with options is nothing new. Buying Puts or selling calls to protect or enhance your position is not uncommon. The relative price that is paid (or received) for that protection is the implied volatility - it is the lever with which supply and demand for protection is turned. Strategies to hedge large equity positions have become more and more complex (as more and more complex instruments have become available). A more advanced strategy is to buy risk-reversals (long out-of-the-money VIX calls against short out-of-the-money VIX puts) which creates a 'synthetic long volatility position' to hedge the long equity underlying position. This strategy has been very successful in hedging downside in the S&P 500 since the crisis began. The last few weeks has seen the return from the hedged strategy converge to the S&P 500's performance and we suspect this has been the trigger for exits. This unwind of a very popular risk-reversal hedge in VIX options is implicitly like selling volatility - hence the dramatic outperformance of front-month vol even as stocks and credit are not soaring to such highs. Watching the skew between VIX calls and puts may give us some sign that this exuberant compression is over.

After 50: Get A Job, Work Longer, And Become A WomanSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2012 - 13:53
As we discussed recently, the idea of retirement - given ZIRP (or even NIRP) - remains further and further away for many middle-aged men and women in America. But Michael Cembalest has some sage advice for those who are passing 50 years old with whimsical views of Viagra-commercial-like retirement settings any time soon. Based on recent research from the Munich center for the economics of aging, one should keep working as long as possible (the precipitous drop in cognitive function once retirement is hit is enormous) - which also offers some insight into why the long-term unemployed suffer so much more in ever getting back into the work-force. More importantly, it seems as we pass that magic 50 year-old barrier, so men's cognitive function plunges far quicker than women's - especially in immediate and delayed recall (where did I leave my keys?). The bottom line is, if you want to succeed later in age: get a job; keep a job; work that job longer; and become a woman!

UBS Issues Hyperinflation Warning For US And UK, Calls It Purely "A Fiscal Phenomenon"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2012 - 13:22
From UBS: "We think that a creditor nation is less at risk of hyperinflation than a debtor nation, as a debtor nation relies not only on the confidence of domestic creditors, but also of foreign creditors. We therefore think that the hyperinflation risk to global investors is largest in the US and the UK. The more the fiscal situation deteriorates and the more central banks debase their currencies, the higher the risk of a loss of confidence in the future purchasing power of money. Indicators to watch in order to determine the risk of hyperinflation therefore pertain to the fiscal situation and monetary policy stance in high-deficit countries. Note that current government deficits and the current size of central bank balance sheets are not sufficient to indicate the sustainability of the fiscal or monetary policy stance and thus, the risk of hyperinflation. The fiscal situation can worsen without affecting the current fiscal deficit, for example when governments assume contingent liabilities of the banking system or when the economic outlook worsens unexpectedly. Similarly, the monetary policy stance can expand without affecting the size of the central bank balance sheet. This happens for example when central banks lower collateral requirements or monetary policy rates, in particular the interest rate paid on reserves deposited with the central bank. A significant deterioration of the fiscal situation or a significant expansion of the monetary policy stance in the large-deficit countries could lead us to increase the probability we assign to the risk of hyperinflation."

University Jazz Bands
The University Jazz Bands present concerts in Spanos Theatre and Harman Hall at the Performing Arts Center that showcase traditional, contemporary, and cutting-edge jazz as performed by the best jazz musicians at Cal Poly.
University Jazz Bands' Fall Jazz Concert
Friday, Dec. 5, 2014
8 p.m. Spanos Theatre
The student musicians will demonstrate how jazz is being reinvented by today's young jazz artists, according to Paul Rinzler, Cal Poly's director of jazz studies.
The two big bands will perform "Airegin" by Sonny Rollins and the jazz standard "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," both arranged by Michael Abene, considered one of jazz's great composers and arrangers and chief composer and arranger for renowned WDR Big Band in Cologne, Germany.
The big bands will also play the infectious funk arrangement "Chicken Polo," which somehow translates the essence of chickens into sound for a big band. Both big bands are comprised of vocalists and four musicians playing trumpets, four on trombones, five on saxophones, and a rhythm section.
The jazz combos will perform jazz standards and original compositions by the members.

Album: Joss Stone, LP1 (Stoned / Surfdog)
Sunday 24 July 2011
Producer Dave Stewart clearly feels that the best way for the celebrated melon-expeller to get that melon out is to emulate Betty Davis in 1974: make with the histrionic rock-funk-lite, all popping drums, strangulated guitars and anguished sass.
Plus a few bluesy/balladic ones for a change of vibe. The writing is generic, the studio-craft impressive. Enjoyment will depend on how you get on with the voice and its hooting cannonade of mannerisms.

Posted by Donna Lazorik, RN, MS. Donna is the Immunization Coordinator in the Division of Epidemiology and Immunization at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
The single best way to stay healthy during flu season is to get a flu vaccine. This is especially important for pregnant women in order to protect both the mother and baby from getting sick and to prevent any possible flu-associated pregnancy complications. The vaccine is perfectly safe; it has been given to millions of pregnant women over many years and has never been shown to cause harm to women or their babies.
In addition, getting vaccinated while you are pregnant can decrease your baby's risk of getting the flu for up to 6 months after they are born. This is particularly important since babies younger than 6 months are too young to get a flu vaccine. To further protect newborns, all caregivers and close contacts – including fathers, siblings, grandparents and babysitters – should also get vaccinated.
There is still plenty of vaccine available so call your health care provider to schedule an appointment or search for a public flu clinic online at http://www.mylocalclinic.com. For more information about pregnancy and flu, visit www.mass.gov/flu

The expression I saw read Wait, that's what I go out and kill myself week after week for??? Adrian Peterson has been on the Vikes sideline with an injury the past three weeks. He says he will be in there against The Saints this coming Sunday (12/18). He admits to only being "85%": that still makes him the best RB in the league but in the end won't make much of a difference against Drew Brees and his boys. The same outfit that kept us from the Super Bowl in 2009. If you've caught FOX 9′s Jim Rich and myself at all weekday afternoons at 4:45 since AP has been out, you've probably heard Jim question the logic of putting your multi-million dollar superstar in there when the season is literally a total loss. Peterson suffered the high ankle sprain against the Oakland Raiders on Nov. 20. After making him the highest-paid running back in NFL history in the offseason, the Vikings indeed didn't want to risk their investment by rushing Peterson back in a season in which the playoffs were not an option. But they don't call him "All Day" for nothing. If he feels healthy, he's gonna play. QB Christian Ponder's hip injury has also reportedly improved so he's expected to start (personally, I'd throw my man Joe Webb out there: why not tinker around at this point, Coach Frazier?

Derek Fisher may no longer be a fan favorite in Salt Lake City. He even gets booed now with some regularity by Utah Jazz fans at EnergySolutions Arena.
Still, Fisher looks back fondly at his lone season in a Jazz uniform.
Two years ago Fisher was a veteran leader on a young Utah Jazz club that surprised the NBA by making it all the way to the Western Conference finals. It was a memorable time in more ways than one for Fisher, who is now the starting point guard for the conference-favorite Lakers.
For Fisher, who scored seven points on Thursday night during the Lakers' 88-86 loss to the Jazz, the 2006-07season in Utah was meant to be. A point guard for most of his 13-year NBA career, Fisher spent that campaign as an undersize starting shooting guard alongside a young, up-and-coming star named Deron Williams.
"We had some success that season that not a lot of people anticipated," said Fisher of his year with the Jazz. "Deron was in his second year. (Carlos) Boozer was a couple of years younger and we had a team that nobody knew what to expect coming in. It was refreshing to be a part of that team because we learned that if we could go out there and play as a unit, good things would happen."
Utah rallied from a 2-0 deficit to a first-round playoff victory over Houston in '07. The Jazz then downed the Golden State Warriors, 4-1, to advance to the conference finals. San Antonio ended Utah's Cinderella-like dreams, but it was a period Fisher will never forget.
"It was a good experience," Fisher said Thursday of his time in Salt Lake City.
He said despite the fact he was going through an extremely emotional family crisis at the same time Utah was making its playoff run.
It's been well documented that Fisher's baby daughter, Tatum, had been diagnosed with a rare eye cancer called retinoblastoma just prior to the playoffs. Twice on game days during the playoffs Fisher flew with his family to New York for treatments.
Fisher missed one playoff game altogether and famously arrived at what was then known at the Delta Center after Game 2 against the Warriors had already started. In true Hollywood style, he hit a huge 3-point shot late that helped the Jazz win.
Two years later, Fisher is still profoundly grateful for the way the Jazz — general manager Kevin O'Connor and team owner Larry H. Miller, in particular — allowed him to do what he needed to do during that trying period.
"There was definitely a reason we were here (in Utah) when we found out about Tatum's diagnosis," Fisher said. "I don't think I could have been in a better situation in terms of teammates and in their ability to support me in that situation. The coaching staff was very supportive and in Kevin and Larry, from a management and ownership standpoint, they let me determine what was important. . . . I got the feeling that whether it was the first guy or the 14th guy, family came first. For them, there are certain priorities in life that trump basketball and stats and success. I think that was the reason I was here when everything took place."
Then again, Fisher still feels he made the right move after the 2007 season by asking the Jazz to release him from his contract so he could get Tatum the care she needed. After the Jazz released him, he quickly signed with his old team, the Lakers.
That rubbed many Jazz fans the wrong way and Fisher has been the second-most booed Laker — behind only Kobe Bryant, of course — the past two season in games played at ESA.
Fisher, though, is proud of his relatively brief stay with the Jazz and grateful he got to know Miller before he died in February.
"It's sad and emotional," said Fisher on the passing of Miller. "Even though we all know we have to go sometime, you just hate to see people go. Larry, obviously, had been dealing with some difficulties with his health, but it was still a shock to hear the news and it's still different not seeing him sitting over there (courtside). . . . I'm very sad that Larry is gone, but I feel fortunately that I was able to work — for even one year — with someone who was as passionate about his team as anyone I've ever seen."
Tatum Fisher, meanwhile, is doing well, according to her proud papa.
"She doing great and progressively doing better," Fisher said. "So much has happened from when she was 10 months old to now. She and her twin brother (Drew) will be 3 on June 29th. Every time we go to the doctor and get a good report, it's just a great feeling. We're just as humble and just as thankful as we were then. We're thankful that things have continued to get better."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Letterman's Late Show turns 20, so here goes with a Top 20 list
NEW YORK -- Late Show With David Letterman on CBS turned 20 Thursday.
So let's get to the list, shall we? Twenty memorable moments in chronological order:
- Aug. 30, 1993: First guest Bill Murray spray-painting "Dave" on the host's desk. Other first guests Billy Joel, Tom Brokaw and Paul Newman ("Where are the singing cats?") do not damage property.
- Sept. 8, 1993: Vice President Al Gore wears goggles and smashes ashtrays. It was all in service of comedy, but the absurdity of the screen grab -- goggle-wearing vice president wielding hammer -- did not help politically.
- Feb. 14, 1994: Dave's mom, Dorothy Letterman, joins the show as, umm, Dave's mom, and interviews Hillary Clinton.
- March 31, 1994: Madonna discusses sex and the various parts of her body that are used to that end. She is heavily edited throughout -- 13 times, in fact -- which may be why the only recollection I have is of one long bleep.
- May 13, 1994: After a week of airing the show from L.A., Johnny Carson, in his last TV appearance, closes it all down. He walks out, presumably to do a Top 10, but takes Dave's seat. He says not a word for 30 seconds, then leaves. "That was great," Letterman says. "That was great."
- April 12, 1995: Drew Barrymore hops on desk, dances and flashes Letterman, who doesn't seem to mind in the least.
- Oct. 28, 1996: That salute to manager Joe Torre and the New York Yankees after their first World Series win in 15 years.
- June 5, 1997: Farrah Fawcett meanders aimlessly through the byways of her mind, confounding all while establishing herself as a late-night TV legend.
- Jan. 12, 2000: Hillary Rodham Clinton, after enduring six years of Letterman torments and taunts, submits to an interview (she was running for senator).
- Feb. 21, 2000: Letterman made a triumphant return after his quintuple bypass and had his medical team in attendance, in what may be the most memorable show of them all.
- Sept. 17, 2001: The return after 9/11, with a succinct summation of the horror: "We're told that they were zealots fueled by religious fervor... And if you live to be a thousand years old, will that make any... sense to you?"
- Oct. 30, 2002: The entire edition is devoted to musician Warren Zevon -- then diagnosed with mesothelioma -- who performed and spoke of what he'd learned in life. (He died in 2003.) Still probably the best hour of Late Show.
- Nov. 4, 2003: "Last night at 11:58, I became a father."
- Jan. 31, 2005: The Johnny Carson tribute edition, per Dave: "At the end of the day, that's who you wanted to be there" -- which is how, come to think of it, I feel about Dave.
- Dec. 1, 2005: How could any list exclude the Super Bowl of Love in which Oprah Winfrey finally appeared, ending what popular culture had decided was a "feud." Dave was even nice, calling her "the most beloved woman in America -- despite the fact she gave us Dr. Phil."
- June 6, then June 15, 2009: Letterman makes a pair of lame jokes about Bristol Palin. (Example: She was "knocked up" by A-Rod at a game.) He's forced to apologize.
- Sept. 21, 2009: President Barack Obama becomes the first sitting president to do the show. Letterman hits the 5,000 shows in late-night TV mark three days later.
- Oct. 1, 2009: The night a few million jaws clattered noisily to the floor when Dave admits to multiple office affairs and relays a wild story about an extortion plot gone bad. Later in the week came the apologies.
- Oct. 29, 2012: There was no audience because of uninvited guest superstorm Sandy. Eerie silence pervades the Ed Sullivan Theater.
- April 9, 2013: Lindsay Lohan is asked, "How will this time be different? What are they rehabbing?" She responds: "We didn't discuss this in the pre-interview, I'm just saying to everyone."

President Obama has alienated much of his liberal base by coming across increasingly as a toady to the Establishment, with his defense of drone strikes, his embrace of the surveillance state and his prosecution of anti-secrecy whistleblowers, as Lawrence Davidson explains.
Tag Archive for Lawrence Davidson
Right-Wing Ideology and Reality
Pervasive right-wing propaganda – relying on false allusions to the Founding myth and bigoted illusions about non-white minorities – has sucked millions of Americans into an unrealistic ideology centered on hatred of government. Lawrence Davidson encountered that reality on a vacation cruise.
America's Long History of Bloodletting
Americans like to think of themselves as peace-loving, but their history belies that self-image. From the genocidal wars against Native Americans through the current multi-front "war on terror," the United States has been fighting and killing for most of its history, as Lawrence Davidson notes.
The Sad Lesson of Alan Hart
Sailing against a strong prevailing wind is not easy, certainly not like breezing along with the wind to your back. Author Alan Hart discovered that truth in criticizing Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, but his acceptance of defeat should not stop others from advocating for truth and justice, says Lawrence Davidson.
In Case You Missed…
Some of our special stories from April focused on the Boston Marathon bombings, the defeat of gun-sanity legislation, the latest research on the historical Jesus, and the political rehabilitation of George W. Bush.
Ignoring the Whys of Terrorism
For years Americans have been warned that George W. Bush's brutal "war on terror" and his invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan would spur more anti-U.S. terrorism. But when such events occur – as in Boston last month – anyone who observes that fact is shouted down, as happened to Richard Falk, notes Lawrence Davidson.
America's Real Sources of Insecurity
The Boston Marathon bombings have dominated U.S. news for the past week, prompting fresh calls for ignoring constitutional protections in the face of "Islamic terrorism." But the reality is that politically motivated violence has declined in America over recent years, notes Lawrence Davidson.
A Palestinian Right to Resist?
If journalistic objectivity is applied honestly, it means that all people must have equal standing whether they're "on our side" or not; outrage over human rights crimes can't be selective. But Israeli journalist Amira Hass faced fierce attack when she said Palestinians had a right to resist, as Lawrence Davidson notes.
The Whys of American Ignorance
Since the social upheavals of the Sixties, the American Establishment has sought to constrain critical thinking through a variety of techniques, from propaganda to government secrecy to the celebrated ignorance of Fox News. But there are broader societal pressures as well, notes Lawrence Davidson.
Something Rotten in State of Israel
Like an overeager suitor, President Obama professed his love for and lavished praise on Israel during a three-day visit, causing some Israelis to blush at his fawning rhetoric and promises of endless fidelity. But Obama on bended knee failed to note a malodorous reality, says Lawrence Davidson.

Intelligent Transportation Systems: Measuring the impact and value
Tina Grady Barbaccia | September 1, 2011
At a time when government funding is scarce, it is important for the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) industry to use measurement to demonstrate the considerable impact and value it can have to communities.
Tip Franklin, director of business development for Telvent and an ITS specialist, presented to ITS industry professionals at the 12th Annual ITS Heartland Meeting earlier this year about how to measure the ITS industry.

Jolie Hunt will report to CEO Tim Armstrong in the newly created job of Chief Marketing and Communications Officer. She'll oversee AOL's global communications strategy, including internal and external communications; social media; corporate social responsibility and cause-related initiatives; and corporate events. The company says she'll also handle global brand development, partnerships and consumer marketing initiatives. Hunt comes to AOL From Thomson Reuters, where she was Global Head of Brand and Public Relations. Prior to that she served stints at IBM and the Financial Times. But those outside the industry may know Hunt as the writer of The Daily Beast's "Gal With a Suitcase" travel column, which Reuters also syndicates. She's on the board of social innovation think tank PopTech and the Civilian Public Affairs Council for West Point Military Academy. "AOL makes a real difference in peoples' lives and this is an opportunity to solidify the company's place as the premier source of trusted content," she says.
