Oh boy… Here we go… Follow the steps, please.
The Center for American Racial Justice, a right winged think tank, funded by the Koch Brothers, ranks colleges by their GRE's and notes that black schools were lower then all white schools. Furthermore it notices that the whiter the student body, the better its citizens turn out to be flag flying patriots… It then creates a list ranking colleges by its own system.
The conservative media picks it up and runs. Delaware Schools Rated Low…are the headlines across Delaware. No one knows why, no one reads the full story, no one googles the ARJ… No one… but Greg Lavelle issues a press release stating that to this low level is what the Markell administration has accomplished. "This is what you get with one party government" he repeats in every microphone. Rick Jensen features 3 shows a week on how the University of Delaware used to be highly ranked, it's education department was last year ranked 33 out of all the colleges in the USA, and now, it is in the low 1000's.. Delaware State is almost at the very bottom, right along with all-black colleges…
Pretty soon it is non stop… Every day the press reports on how Delaware's colleges are just bad, no one knows why but experts from three letter companies no one has heard of, all say so!.. Headlines scream! "How can we be worse than Wyoming?" "Even Idaho!" "How can Idaho be one of the best in the nation, and Delaware, which spends more per person, near the bottom?"
The junk mail starts to arrive in our mailboxes. Markell Made Us Stupid the junk mail jokes… "We've got to do something", it screams… Jea Street and Wilmington City Council issue proclamation after proclamation stating that Black children of the inner city need better schools in Delaware from which to graduate… "Many blacks depend on SEED money for post-secondary education. We need college improvement here in Delaware! This administration has fallen behind…"
Then a new study is released by the ARJ, showing how internationally our schools with black students compare with those European or Asian colleges without them… "We need all-white colleges" the article says, "or our national education is going down hill". No one objects… The black head of the AFL-CIO spends 15 minutes on Rick Jensen and says, "well we need to change our schools. "Blacks need good education too, and we need jobs; according to all the studies, the only way that can happen is if we make segregation the law and black schools equal…
Then there is a recession. A big one.
No one has money. The Federal Government hires someone from the ARJ to become Secretary of Education. He comes up with a life saving method to revamp America's education. Congress passes a giant relief bill, and he will give grants out to states who implement his new racial purity line across post secondary education…
He has a contest… States have to compete for funding. Call it race to the top. "We will have a contest and the state that comes up with the best plan for racial purity, gets money to make it happen"…
States pressed for revenue, all sign up… "Where do we sign they ask"? "Right here", they are told, "and get your Secretary of Education to sign on too".. "Ok. then fire her and hire a young kid who doesn't know better"…. Maybe a gym teacher… Suddenly the governor writes op-ed pieces in the News Journal.. "Brighter" Future for Delaware's Education. In it he extols the benefits that an all white University will accomplish. His friends the Chamber of Commerce and Charlie Copeland himself, all write op-eds the same. Soon the News Journal gets the memo, along with a Koch check with a memo, play along or die, and they too start championing how Delaware is too dark, and needs to "lighten up" and the best way would be to deny opportunity to those who are not white…
The Union of College Professors though appalled is convinced to publicly go along in order to have a "place at the table" of future post secondary educational policy.. The Governor convenes a secret meeting to create new standards.. In America there is no legal precedent for sanctioned discrimination… They ask the ARJ to fly in and hold meetings to educate this secret group… The secret group meets frequently over the next 4 months and writes legislation, and one of its members introduces in into the Senate and says, "it makes education better" and it is passed unanimously.
Steve Newton of Delaware Libertarian goes over the bill and writes a piece that essentially says: wait a second, this is KKK sanctioned segregation… A few bloggers (3) pick it up and run with it.. The Governor tells Pete Schwartzkoph, "quick, rush it through", and minutes later the bill is in the House. One delegate questions the bill in committee but it passes 4-1…. On the floor, 4 delegates bring up the segregation clause and its implication. But people dismiss it upon hearing about it for the first time, and the House passes it 37-4 and the Governor signs it immediately..
The ARJ comes out with a new study. It ranks the schools 1-2000 strictly based on number of blacks enrolled. It cites the best schools and immediately the news organizations in those states start bragging. "We have the best schools in the USA" says Wyoming. "We are 2nd", says Idaho. Montana, says, "we are a close third"… The Trustees of the University of Alabama rule that no black may attend the next session. Thousands have to transfer…. "We are not going to lose our accreditation over the color of skin of some of our students" they say..
Wall Street invests hugely in the new upcoming curriculum.. One that has no mention of blacks, slavery, Civil War, Segregation, Martin Luther King, Brown vrs Education; even the word Africa is deleted… Now all old books have to be scrapped in order to continue receiving Race to the Top money.. New online materials are sold instead. They are ranked pure by the ARJ, because the ARJ was involved writing them. No other materials are allowed the Federal Government mandates. The states spend billions upgrading their universities'curricula. Secondary education is immediately affected… All references to blacks must be expunged. New materials are ordered and the entire state is put on the ARJ curriculum…
New tests are rolled out. Schools are ranked negatively by how well they knew black history. Students who had been taught before, and knew black history and answered the questions correctly, pulled down their schools scores. A big push was made to erase and re-educate these children even to the point of lying, just to offer an alternative to history as they knew it.. Parents were answering children's questions about homework the old way, and unknowingly flunking their children… "No, that's not how we do things these days", parents were later told.
More new rankings appeared. Delaware is very low. Markell blames the bloggers. Even Jea Street blames the bloggers for making Delaware a low scoring state. The News Journal writes an op-ed piece that says, "it is time to make Delaware white; we have to improve our rankings… "
The University of Delaware receives a $34 million dollar grant from David Koch to implement an all white curricula. Delaware State University receives a $15 million Koch grant to power-wash its dorms, sidewalks and parking spaces. The state of Delaware gets a $50 million Koch Grant to create a new pro-ARJ think tank and puts them on the seventh floor of the Community Services Building there on 10th and Orange. They echo what Markell says, and he echos what they say, and the News Journal echos what both say, and Jea Street get quoted saying… "this is great for black children"….
But then.. something goes horribly wrong….
The Christina School District votes not to implement segregation materials at the secondary school level. The Governor berates them. The News Journal berates them. Rodell berates them. Jea Street berates them.. but in the end, they vote "no" to segregation of blacks from all other races… "It is just not right", says their head, Superintendent Freeman.
The News Journal gets $1 million for future ads from the Koch Foundation, and runs op-ed pieces blaming the Christina Board for setting all of Delaware backwards by not following what is proven right. "Christina Jeopardizes All Delaware Future Funding" Sweeney pens… It cites ARJ study after ARJ study showing how only states with all white colleges are good schools. Frederika Jenner (who is white btw) of the DSEA says that though blacks have done well under the old desegregation plan, they were currently holding Delaware back and needed to be thrown under the bus, and so therefore, the DSEA was behind what was now being called, the White Core standards… Build a strong white core, and this nation will last forever was the ARJ slogan of the minute… the Koch funded Rodel, put it up on billboards all over the state.
The Secretary of Education makes a visit to Mt. Pleasant, now an all white pilot school, and praises the great improved results it has shown. The black teachers there step up to the microphone and praise Markell for making their jobs so much easier by getting rid of all the problem students…
The bloggers keep on it. Looking at the data, the standards, the money, they realize there is no evidence for the premise that white schools are better than black… They cite the evidence and show, that the rankings that started the whole ball rolling were rankings of "how white our colleges and universities were", and had nothing to do with education learned. They discovered that data which distinctly disproved the theory that "white was bright", was shoved aside and ignored. In fact they tracked down the researcher and asked him how he came to his conclusions out of all the evidence pointing otherwise… "I just made it up" he said… "I came up with that figure just out of thin air."
The bloggers traced the money. They found the ARJ was fully funded by the Kochs. They found that all those organizations supporting the ARJ, journalists, and education experts, had all received large grants from the Kochs. They found that the global evidence showing "white was bright", wasn't right. It was income related. Blacks in nations where everyone was rich enough to be well educated, were smarter than whites in poorer areas…
After 5 years, the Federal money began to run out. States started looking at the costs.. Holy Cow! What are we going to do with all these uneducated black people they wondered? How much more will increased crime, depression of wages, unemployment, caused by this White Core policy, cost our states…
One by one, different states began to bail out. As the deadline for the new tests approached (tests denying any existence of Africans in America), states began bailing. "Our Constitution says blacks should help determine their own educational future", several states said, and they began dropping out. In each state, Constitutionalists began rallying to get rid of White-Core. They held meetings in Constitutional supportive areas of the nation and began holding elected officials to the Constitution.
"You are making a sub-race of American citizens" they said. "This is unconstitutional…" The Delaware Chamber of Commerce made fun of them… Called them stupid hicks or something like that… "Dumb Suck-ass Countians" was the wording Rick Jensen used, I think… (followed by a "HEE-Haw" sound-bite Greg would play). Markell went onto Chuck Todd's TV show to deride these Constitutionals as being backward hicks and unconcerned that Delaware was ranked near the bottom of the ARJ's list of good colleges…
"These people just don't get it" Markell said… Chuck Todd echoes sadly, shakes his head. "Why would they be against good schools" as the camera fades back and the editor cuts to commercial.
Sweeney write a piece for the News Journal… Delaware Extremists Want Delaware To Go Backwards." Why, he berates, when the answer is so clear, do Delawareans not push to go forward?" He continues… "Experts say " (quoting ARJ researchers) that blacks bring down education. It is time to go separate even if it is not equal."
The KKK emails it's entire mailing list and tells each recipient to write letters to the News Journal… "We want better education for our kids. WE don't want blacks in our schools. Help keep Delaware's education racially pure!"
Members of the Christina board write back. John Kowalko writes back. Steve Newton writes back… All say the data is flawed. We have evidence that if given the same education, and the same at home support, blacks are equal or even smarter than whites.
They say: "if someone with enough money uses their own criteria to judge something, then create a response, then buys sufficient influence, the wrong thing can get done before the American public is even aware of the horrible consequences it will cause…..
Which, as you may guess, is the whole point of this "what if" exercise to show… Because it happened, already. Just as I said….
It is beginning. Destroying history to change history. In Delaware a principal forbids his teacher from allowing a Holocaust survivor to enter a classroom and give their personal perspective on what it was like to be a Holocaust survivor… This setup has been a regular function in the school. Same players, new policy… and it was blamed on Common core…..
The principal's own words…
"What common core standard are the kids learning by listening to her."
The second statement was:
"We are not here to teach the Holocaust…they will get that in High School…"
Could it be that the principal is a closet Nazi, and wants this historical revision. Perhaps he is a white supremest, and soon will lead teachers to quietly forget Black History Month as well? Already in the packets there is no mention anywhere that slavery is bad, in fact, perhaps there are plans to soon begin teaching slavery was a great Conservative way to ensure cheap labor. Or perhaps, any mention of how great the Democratic Party was in the 20th Century, will likewise be banned, dropped from being taught entirely, and only pap from the Republican corporate era will be allowed to enter the curriculum?
Hyperbole? Or a real threat? Who knows? it could be either or both!
Always in the past, it used to be that teachers could work around such guidelines. As in this case they could ask someone to come in and tell true stories to enlarge their student's perspectives..
"But… we are not here to teach the Holocaust….."
Because does having her speak teach reading text? No.. Does having her speak teach mathematical concepts? No. .
Therefore it cannot be important; therefore by this principal, it is forbidden…
"What common core standard are the kids learning by listening to her."
And from the words of Delaware's next head of its teacher's union on this: "Is what this principal said just relative to this one school? No. We are hearing this from across the state. The humanities are being stripped from our schools in favor of test prep and everything Common Core…"
And so it begins….. selective , bland, cut-and-paste pieces of curriculum. No longer is a school supposed to teach about the life lesson or experiences of others, but rather, only cut-and paste pieces of common core standards…. As a parent, having my child hear an actual holocaust survivor, (something I've never had the opportunity to hear), is a far more important lesson than the ridiculous stupid crap David Coleman calls curriculum.
Perhaps this principal, being an evangelical Christian, has something against Jews and this is his vengeful way of using Common Core to exercise it? Perhaps elsewhere, those with prejudices will do likewise, blame the stringent standards of Common Core to prevent certain parts of our past history from ever being taught….
Soon (and this actually falls within the context of Common Core standards) our children are likely to get taught……
"In the beginning was the Corporation. And all about it … was good….".
This is why every single parent alive today who has ever become involved with their children's education and has actually with their own eyes, looked at the Common Core materials being sent home, becomes horrified and quickly becomes violently opposed to Common Core. It is a far greater threat to civilization than anything the Koch Brother's funded ALEC ever dreamed to be. Right now almost all of us know the Koch Brothers are warped, frustrated old men. But in a generation, college graduates will think there is no better ideal way to be.
It begins by outlawing the teaching of the Holocaust because of Common Core.
There was a very strange pamphlet that showed up in Sussex County, sanctioned by the REPUBLICAN sheriff down there.. Here is the quote…
Fact: Sheriffs in Delaware are not law enforcement officers. They are paper pushers. Their only duty is to serve court papers such as divorce proceedings and the auction of houses… By law, they are not allowed to form "posse's"
I can remember however, a long, long time ago, when rural people who didn't agree with Federal guidelines that was being imposed upon them, would arm themselves, gather in the middle of the night under a certain tree, or a bend of the road, and ride out to perform their own particular brand of justice.
We called them the Klu Klux Klan…… Is Sheriff Christopher trying to revive them…..
When Mitt Romney talks, you turn your head to the next person and go WTF?
That can't be right.
But, it is…
It is just that the bending of the data is so erratically complex that a bizarre conclusion comes out of the box…
It is like the drunk girl who goes up to the funny mirror just off the boardwalk, bends over slightly, and while staring at the mirror, says: "Look, I'm kissing myself. there….."
You go and look at the image, and sure enough… she is kissing herself, .. there…
That is how you have to listen to Mitt Romney, or any Republican who is funded by hedge-fund mangers…. You do it for the experience, knowing that what they are saying, is if nothing else, creative, but if you ever rise to believe it, you will be called into question yourself, for your gullibility….
Mitt Romney's camp said: … "Women account for 92.3 percent of the jobs lost under Obama."
First reaction: WTF
Second reaction: How can that be?
Third reaction: Analysis:
Since the day that Obama took office, the number of unemployed women has increased by 858,000….
The Facts… the 858,000 is valid,
The Recession began December 2007 and ended June 2009. More jobs were lost in the Republican Party Recession than the last four recessions put together. (Ironically almost 858,000 more) ….
Over that entire time span, 3.4 million men and 1.8 million women have lost jobs since the Republican caused recession started, according to statistics. That means over the whole course of events, women have lost 34.6% portion of the jobs lost…
If you look here (Bureau of Labor Statistics) you can see how this 92.3% figure could occur….
The recession caused by the housing bubble and lack of sources of new construction investment, hit mens jobs hard between 2007 and 2009. In the first thirteen months of the recession, all under George W. Bush and Dick Cheney's tour of office, men lost jobs at a 10 to one rate compared to women. That is why, this Republican Recession is often called the "mancession" repeatedly over and over since it has first been documented.
After all the men had lost their jobs first, … that is when we swore in a new president, and the only jobs left to lose,… were those of women. The economy continued to fail because of Republican policies still on the books, and as it failed, more jobs had to go. Women were cut too, as a last resort….
That is fact.
What we have is Romney contorting the evidence so obliquely that we are able to pull a startling statistic out of the ass of computations, and say…. damn, this shit stinks.
What really stinks, is that Republicans deregulated industry so much that the top wage earners could actually steal investors money, and not go to jail. What really stinks is that Republicans didn't enforce regulations already on the books, which were there to prevent this whole event from happening to the extent it did… It's as if the Wilmington Police chief gave away free bags of cocaine openly on Market Street to keep gun-lords from shooting each other over territorial issues, and one night the whole town overdosed. What really stinks, is that during this entire time, instead of building up the treasury by buying back bonds before they were due, Republicans spent money loosely without deciding how it was too be paid back… What really stinks, is that Republicans voted time and time again to raise the debt ceiling over Democrat's objections…
Fact is, if we'd elected Gore in 200o we would ALL be rich now. But … we fucked up. We voted Republican…
The real tragedy behind Mitt Romney, is that he is not addressing the core issue: Republican policies do not work. He knows this. He ran as a moderate Republican in Massachusetts and actually did a decent job.
So, the tragedy, is… that as Mitt Romney twists these numbers to make the real hero, President Obama look bad, Mitt himself is running on the very same policies that caused, aided, and abetted the giant Republican Recession we are trying to outgrow this very minute…. 4 and a quarter years later…
That, is the tragedy….
And until Mitt Romney addresses how he will prevent those same policies from leading us to the same result,….. NO ONE; I repeat, no one can believe Mitt Romney….
Call every Congressional person and tell them this is preposterous.
Remember the baby video maker who was sued because of the pop music playing in the background?
This is foolishness, and every Delawarean, yea, even every national, Congressperson needs to know it…
Perhaps, perhaps, if it is passed, Hollywood can sell a couple of more movies…. But if it is passed, it will be the death of the first amendment… you and me, are gone….. morte…
There can be never be censorship of the Internet… Never. and period….
Facts are a Republicans worst nightmare…..
Republicans zero'd out the Interagency Council on Homelessness. This agency is what makes churches and private taking care of homeless possible.
Republicans zero'd out $1.1 billion from Head Start. Putting 200,000 toddlers on the streets, and eliminating 55,000 teachers.
Republicans zero'd out the Administration on Aging, and cut out block grants which keep Meals on Wheels and Senior Centers alive.
Republicans cut out 81,000 people from getting food each day, by zeroing out the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which provides food to low-income Americans….
Republicans zero'd out money being sent to poverty-focused international assistance programs, which will largely hurt women and girls who have no other source of food or medical help.
But they will not raise one penny on millionaire and billionaires…
These guys are really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, … sick.
One might as well come right out and say it.. The Tea Party movement is based on race… There is no other explanation.
Lets assume, just for fun, that black is white… and white is black….
Imagine that thousands of black protesters, bussed in from Wilmington, Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, and DC, were to descend upon Dover's Green, next to our General Assembly, armed with AK-47s, M-1's, and handguns stocked with live ammunition. And imagine that the television cameras happen to conveniently catch some of these protesters — all wearing hoodies — ranting over the need for violent political revolution and armed conflict, should laws they despised, ever be enforced by the government? Would you see them as brave defenders of the Second Amendment, or would shit in your pants and want them all "lined up and shot"? Don't answer! You know how you'd see them.
We all know this happened… but black was white… and Republicans cheered and licked the butts of those shouting slogans.
Imagine John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, and Michelle Bachman, while walking to work, got surrounded by thousands of angry black people, one of whom proceeded to spit so much in Michelle Bachman's hair, it caused her to look like she had just exited a Penn State frat party. It was done for no reason, except that she had not voted the way that black demonstrator with a Muslim beard and saggy pants, had desired.
Would you see this as merely patriotic Americans voicing their opinions, or would it be apparent to you, that it was an angry, potentially violent, and even a subversive mob of really dumb ass people?
Again, we all know that this happened… but black was white… and Republicans cheered and licked the butts of those shouting the slogans.
Imagine the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, a rap artist, were to say, in reference to a white president: "He's a piece of shit and I told him to suck on my machine gun."
This happened… but black was white… and Republicans cheered and licked the butts of those shouting the slogans…
Imagine that a pill popping black radio host with the face of an ass, were to suggest that the only way to get promoted in the administration of any white president was to "hate black people," or that a prominent white General had only endorsed a white presidential candidate cause they were both the same color, or blamed a white president because a fight occurred one of our nation's school buses in which a black kid was jumped by two white kids, or if this ass faced radio host had said that he wouldn't want to kill all conservatives, but rather, would like to leave just enough—"living fossils" as he called them—"so we will never forget what these people stood for." After all, we all know these are things Rush Limbaugh has said….. and when he did, Republicans cheered and licked the butts of those shouting the slogans…
Imagine that a black pastor, formerly a member of the U.S. military, were to declare, as part of his opposition to a white president's policies, that he was ready to "suit up, get my gun, go to Washington, and do what they trained me to do."
Meanwhile the Republicans cheer and line up to lick the butts of those shouting the slogans…
Imagine a black radio talk show host gleefully predicting a revolution by people of color if the government continues to be dominated by the rich white men who have been "destroying" the country, or if said radio personality were to call Christians or Jews non-humans, or say that when it came to conservatives, the best solution would be to "hang 'em high."
And Republicans stand up to cheer and line up to lick the butts of those shouting the slogans…
Imagine a black political commentator, with very odd hands, suggesting that the only thing the guy who flew his plane into the Austin, Texas IRS building did wrong was not blowing up Fox News instead.
… and the Republicans cheered and licked the butts of those shouting the slogans…
Even if one-third of the anger currently being hurled at President Obama, were being aimed by people of color at a white Republican president, how many whites would wax eloquent about every black person's right to free speech, to own a gun, and praise all the glories of democracy?
On the other hand, how many of them would be instead calling for crackdowns on unlawful behavior, and investigations into the radical agendas of all those armed people of color?
Bottom line… Free speech, intimidation, and the right to insurrection, being championed everywhere across the Republican spectrum, … is only "right" if it's "white"…
To each and every one of us who are color blind….. Intimidation is not right at all…
There are common laws of human decency, that boil down to the realization that ALL men do not share the same agenda. We are blessed that it was OUR founding fathers who realized that this could be a good thing… The open expression of ideas and the public rebuttal of the criticism of them, allows for cream of this country, to rise to the top…
Any group, white or black, that doesn't abide by such common lows of human decency, … "deserves to be lined up and shot".
If as a nation we go that far, just make sure we dump their carcasses in a salt dome… We wouldn't want those tea bags, either white or dark, leaching into our aquifers…
Funny, … I don't hear Republicans lining up to cheer….
Why? Because the Tea Party is all about being anti black; Anyone who has ever heard Martin Luther King Jr. speak to a crowd, … knows in his heart, there is no other explanation.
That includes Michael Steele, and David Anderson. At some point, like Senator Robert Byrd, they will come clean about their past…..
… and so ends Conservatism. exactly 30 years after it began.
It has been an amazing day on the international news front… These three stories are all tied together, thanks to the skill of the new administration…
1) The opening of dialogue with Cuba.
2) The handshake with Chavez of Venezuela
3) The UN walkout of the president of Iran's diatribe of Israeli racism…
All three show a break from outdated Republican policies….
First with Cuba… A State Department's go-slow approach was shocked by the admission of Raul Castro, that he is ready to discuss "human rights, freedom of the press, political prisoners… everything." He said: "We could be wrong.. We admit it. We're human beings too.
Ok, so how long have we had the embargo? And now…. we get the admission.. If you want progress, you must have dialogue… Those who punish first, expecting capitulation, are just plain wrong.. That of course includes the entire Republican Party…As most of you are now just finding out, they are just plain wrong…
The handshake from Chavez was motivated more by how much Obama is worshiped in Venezuela than by any policy change… Chavez cannot afford the appearance of being the enemy of one so admired by his own constituents… Therefore as long as the US interests do not directly impinge upon the welfare of Venezuela's citizens, we should have an ally in Chavez who must appear to be on our side, especially since he may have his own domestic challengers… And as most of America knows, the criticism Chavez leveled at our former administration, was shared by 65% of Americans as well… In fact, America went to the polls in record numbers to elect our current president, simply because our last one was so bad…
Now with a simple handshake, we have far more political inroads into Venezuela than we ever would have had Obama dissed Chavez as did Bush… You might remember how stupid every American was seen to be, because Bush would never mention Chavez by name? We were the joke of civilization… and well deserved we should be.. Anyone out there who still thinks we should treat Chavez as a stepchild, is simply ignorant… And yes, they are also all Republicans….
Third, the president of Iran got up and railed against Israel's racist policies… He was jeered off stage and half of the crowd walked out… Here we gave him the rope, and he hung himself… Today he gave the United States' cause for the support of Israel, far more credibility than had we as the old administration would have done, forbid him from coming and speaking… The old policy gave him support among his allies… Today, based on his personal implosion, his allies are running away for cover…. He is far more isolated upon the world's stage, than at any time over the past administration's misjudgements….
Hence the brilliance of the Biden/ Obama tact… Let our enemies do our work for us.. Let them ruin their stature in the world by themselves, without us damaging ours in the process…
But if one of our former enemies can outmaneuver us on the global stage, so that they truly appear willing to change, and anxious to open new relations up with us, then after all these wasted years it appears they weren't really our enemies after all…
Of course Republicans will complain they are… But then, by now, we all know that when it comes to governing, Republicans don't know much of anything.

How Algorithms and Editors Can Work Together to Burst the "Filter Bubble"
The algorithms that surface content for us on Facebook and Google are miracles of modern programming. But Eli Pariser, author and chairman of the board at MoveOn.org, has concerns. In March, Pariser gave a popular TED talk about "filter bubbles" -- the idea that when search and social networks only serve us content that we "like," we're not seeing content we need.

'You are right," a reader writes in response to last week's column. "But how do you tell some kid working 50 hours a week, get up at 6:30, work all day, then see the guys that have new cars sleep 'til noon … that working a real job is good thing?"
Here's how: by speaking from my own experience of having seen high-rolling dope boys waxing their cars in the sun while growing up on the West Side and having also witnessed their fast-track journeys to the grave, prison and mortal destruction.
Staggering like zombies, sky-high off their own product. Or stacked in a cooler at the county morgue. Gunned down in the street. Their dead body hurled into the back of a paddy wagon like road kill.
I would tell him that I have seen them memorialized on too many T-shirts. Eulogized by preachers at a loss for a single good word to speak in their behalf. Memories of their existence soon vaporized, like the Hennessy poured out over dry earth by their homeys.
His mama and his baby's mama — and little son — left to agonize over what might have been but never will be — because he is no more. Hopes, dreams and promise all vanished.
I would tell him I have seen too many young brothers become ghosts. I would tell him that Chicago has become the city of ghosts.
That drug dealing and gangbanging have no retirement plan, unless you count the grave or penitentiary.
I'd tell him that there is no heaven for a G. That if Tupac and Biggie, or any of the more than 200,000 black males, ages 14 or older, murdered in America from 1976 through 2005, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice, could speak from the grave, they could bear witness.
I would tell him that it's not stuff that lasts. But the substance of good character.
I'd tell him, "Easy come, easy go." That anything worth having is worth working for honestly.
That I too have known welfare, lack and hunger. That my lights and gas sometimes were disconnected in the dead of winter. That I was abandoned by my natural father and never knew him. And that none of this was excuse enough for me to not try and make a good life for myself.
I'd tell him that as a young man I sometimes agonized while walking to church past the glistening cars of "ballers" and "shot callers" when I had not so much as a bicycle.
I'd tell him that long before I became a professor or a journalist, I worked the fry station at Burger King. That I was a janitor, an odd jobs man, unemployed, a black boy with high hopes and dreams, even if most often with little means.
I would tell him that he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword. That I'd rather have no money than blood money.
I'd tell him to be encouraged. To keep the faith. To stay the course. To hold his head up high. That hard work and doing good does pay off after a while.
I'd tell him that I have lived long enough to see it, to reap it, without ever robbing, stealing or killing. Without ever selling even one speck of drugs. And I'd tell him that it feels so good.

Really it depends what you want out of your helpdesk!
OTRS is a freebie and is ITIL-compliant... however it's pretty comprehensive, shall we say!
If you literally just want ticket in, ticket out, I used Trellis Desk, which is really easy to use, and with a bit of tweaking can be linked with AD
If you don't need bells and whistles, we're getting loads of use out of freshdesk free version Freshdesk Plans & Pricing | Freshdesk help desk software trial
We have been using this for 3 years now... WebHelpDesk Pricing is based on quantity of Technicians - no limit on clients/end-users.
They offer a server version and hosted version(its what we use, one less server to manage to be honest)
Very complete program overall. It also has asset management included.

Are you tired of reaching for a fishing net and finding it entangled in hooks, line, and other things found in your boat? You are not the only one, and now there is a solution to this fish-losing, fun-ending problem. Rod Presnell, of Tallahassee, Florida has developed a product that solves the issue. A few years ago, Rod was fishing in Lake Talquin. He caught a catfish that was large enough to make him grab for the handle of his net. The net, however, was ensnared by the various gear that inevitably finds its way to the bottom of a boat. Frustrated, Rod cut the net, freeing it but rendering it much less functional. He decided that the hassles of having a net of that nature in his boat were not worth the benefits of employing the net. What He Wanted Was A Snagless Bass Fishing Net His exasperation motivated him to conceive of a net that was available when he needed to use it, but not in the way when he did not need it. Check out the Bass Lasso, the only fishing net that belongs in your boat!

Dual Monitor Question With Laptop and TV
I apologize if this is the wrong forum, wasn't sure. I have this laptop:
Series 7 15.6" Notebook | Samsung NP700Z5AH
Basically, what I want to do is have a dual monitor setup with my laptop's screen being one screen, and my TV via HDMI out being the other. I want to be streaming something on my TV while still being able to use my computer like normal. How would I go about doing this? Thank you!
|My System Specs
|16 Sep 2012
Have you installed the ATI catalyst application? (you will want it if you plan on doing multiscreen)
If you plug in a second screen (for example your tv via hdmi) it should bring up the multiscreen wizard for you which will aide you in setting it up in a rather self explanatory method.
P.S. make sure you have the laptop on a cooling pad when you are double working it like this. Playing HD video is resource consuming and generates heat.
|My System Specs
|16 Sep 2012
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Basically in addition to what was said above, you'll want to choose Extend my desktop when given the option. Placing it on a cooling pad won't be entirely necessary, as long as it's on a flat surface (so no carpets) with no additional heat generated underneath (so no balancing it on the oven).

I'm not suggesting it's going to burst into flames or anything, it's just precautionary for the lifespan of the device.
|My System Specs
|16 Sep 2012
Thank you so much guys, worked perfectly! This forum always answers my questions so quickly, I love it!
|My System Specs
|21 Nov 2012
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Dual Monitor/HDMI TV Resolution
Asus K53SV, i5 CPU, 8GB RAM, 500+ GB Hard Drive, 6' HDMI cable
Basic problem is I cannot see the edges of the TV (I Think it is 55") (Model # is HLR5067WAX/XAA)
Loosing my hair now; I had the resolution set up perfect but now I am missing 3/4" -1" around the top, bottom, and both sides. I cannot even get to the Start button except by just "judging" where it should be. I have gone to screen resolution and then properties (Nvidia GForce 540M I think) with lintel 3000 chip-set. I have tried to go to Screen Resolution, Advanced Settings, List All Modes and tried to set on the auto accept but can't find it. MS Win 7 Home Premium just lists the TV as a Generic PnP monitor. I have downloaded the latest Nvidia driver which did not do a thing.
Sounds like about the same problems that you are had with your dual setup; maybe you can send some help this way if possible.
I will add that the picture on the desktop of the Asus fits perfect so its resolution is good. It is just the computer using the Microsoft driver for the Samsung TV and not allowing me to get to other settings to shrink the desktop on the Samsung TV. Frustrating thing is that I had it working but reinstalled the OS and cannot remember how I got the sizing correct before. Other than not being to see the edges the picture is perfect (HD, SD, Blue Ray) just can not get the sizing / resolution correct for the Samsung now.
Need anymore info let me know and I will shoot it right to you. Thanks!
Help, not much hair left. All help greatly appreciated in advance!

Carpet Cleaning Scams
Like every industry, the carpet cleaning industry has its share of bad companies. Although the majority of the companies are honest, there are some that are looking to scam the consumer. This article will help you identify the unethical carpet cleaners and help you avoid getting ripped off by a scam.
Bait and Switch
This is the classic carpet cleaning rip-off. In this scam, the customer is lured in by a ridiculously low priced carpet cleaning. Often the advertisement you read will offer carpet cleaning in the neighborhood of $5 per room. There is no way that a company can be profitable selling its services that low. But the companies usually have no intention of leaving your home with only the advertised amount. So how do they increase the bill after you have taken the "bait" of the low price?
Preconditioning Scam
One way they will increase the bill is by selling you preconditioning. Most legitimate companies include this in their pricing. That low price they offered probably didn't include it. It may have been $5 per room to clean it with water only but pre-conditioning will cost you an additional 25 cents per square foot. Considering an average room size of 150 square feet, that would be $37.50 per room extra. So a 5 room home would go from the advertised carpet cleaning price of $25 to $212.50. Quite a difference. But what if you just refuse to pay for the pre-conditioning? Chances are you will get a substandard cleaning or a rush job, but their is another way that they can try to force you into paying for the pre-conditioning. They may offer to do a demo for you. This isn't necessarily bad, many good carpet cleaning companies do demos. What Bait and Switch companies will do however is clean an area in a highly visible area. If you decide to not pay for the extra service, you will have an extra clean spot in the middle of your carpet that will stick out like a sore thumb. By doing this you are forced to pay the extra price.
Protection Scam
Extra Room Scam
Another way for Bait and Switch companies to increase their bill is through extra room charges. If you use a coupon, you must read the fine print. Some companies will charge extra for rooms over 100 square feet of carpet for example. It is hard to find a room in a typical home under that square footage, so that means the typical room will count as two and the typical living room or family room will count as three or even four rooms.

Bait and Switch Scams in Atlanta Carpet Cleaning Bringing a Bad Name to Atlanta Area Carpet Cleaning Industry
Atlanta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/31/2011 -- In response to the recent demand for trustworthy carpet cleaning services, Platinum Carpet Systems has been receiving a lot of attention from the communities in and around Atlanta, Ga.
While many other Atlanta carpet cleaning businesses use bait and switch tactics to trick their customers into paying higher prices, Platinum Carpet Systems base its business on hard work, integrity, and a commitment to customer service.
Bait and switch scams, which have been on the rise over the last five years, are clever ways carpet cleaning companies fool their customers into paying higher prices than advertised. For example, they might offer a low price through a coupon, then once they arrive to the home they charge extra for things that logically should be included - like pre-conditioning treatment, carpet "brightening" packages, and even extra charges for soap!
It's with Platinum's stark contrast to these fly-by-night companies that they have earned a reputation as being one of the most trusted names in Atlanta carpet cleaning. Being IICRC certified, and having the owner (Willie Griggie) on every single job, they have had the opportunity to pick up some big name clients in the Atlanta area. Trust, especially for someone famous, is difficult to come by, and Willie and Ramona Griggie have earned that trust by putting values at the forefront of their business.
Platinum Carpet Systems specializes in more than just carpets. They also do mold remediation, mold removal/cleaning; air duct cleaning, water damage restoration, water damage cleanup, upholstery cleaning, drapes, Persian rugs, oriental rugs, and they perform all their services right in the customer's home.
On top of the variety of services that they offer, they give their clients a 100% money back guarantee and the customer only pays after a thorough walk-through of the serviced area. If this wasn't enough, Platinum puts an exclamation point on their service by calling the customer a few days later to make sure that the job was completed to their satisfaction.
Platinum Carpet Systems services most cities within 40 miles of downtown Atlanta including Buckhead, Alpharetta, Roswell, Duluth, Suwanee, Buford, Lawrenceville, Cumming,McDonough, Peachtree City, Tyrone, Newnan,and Marietta to name a few.
Platinum Carpet Systems offers some of the most competitive prices in the industry (no bait and switch tactics here) and they provide convenient packages for added savings. At Platinum Carpet Systems, they measure their success by one criterion - customer satisfaction. To learn more about platinum carpet systems, please visit:http://www.platinumcarpetsystems.com

Dr. Chike Obidigbo says he decided to seek a court order restraining the inauguration of Mr. Willie Obiano as governor of Anambra State to ensure that impunity and perfidy were not rewarded.
Obidigbo, who is a rival Anambra governorship candidate to Obiano in the All Progressives Grand Alliance, stated this on Sunday, in Awka, ahead of Monday's inauguration of Obiano as governor of the state.
He said he is seeking an order to restrain the Anambra State Chief Judge, or any other judicial officer, from swearing-in Obiano as governor.
The factional APGA governorship candidate explained that though he has no personal grudges against Obiano, he wanted to prove to the whole world that Anambra State is not a lawless jungle but a modern state governed by laws.
He disclosed that the rot in the Nigeria polity and the electoral process could be traced to the erroneous belief by certain leaders that they could twist and bend the law of the land to suit their fancy.
He said that APGA Constitution, which prescribed the modalities for nominating a governorship flag bearer, was jettisoned to impose Obiano.
"So, what we are doing should not be seen as desperation but a patriotic effort to ensure that the law rules and nothing else. As a law-abiding citizen, I believe that the courts exist to adjudicate on issues of interpretation and re-examination of legal procedures," Obidigbo said.
He said, "That is why I sought to the injunctive orders of the court to preserve the status quo until the legitimate claimant of APGA ticket was established."
Obidigbo said one of the legal knots the courts would help to untie is whether a person could become governor without being nominated by a political party in consonance with the Electoral Act 2010 as amended.
He said that both the national chairman of APGA and the party had deposed to an affidavit affirming that he and not Obiano was fielded for the November 16 and 30, 2013 governorship.

Arranging your wardrobe around erratic summer weather is a nightmare. And when the centigrade soars, it's all too easy to bust out the beachwear and hit the city in something entirely inappropriate. A strapless semi-sheer maxi dress and flip-flops doesn't make a winning work outfit. So in order to combat the weird muggy weather we've been blessed cursed with, we've had a chat with New Zealand-born New York-based designer Rebecca Taylor.
Rita Ora and Kate Middleton are both Rebecca Taylor fans
Rebecca has spent a lot of time in the UK (and, as an aside, our best Brit export Bowie is her ultimate icon) so she understands the grrreat Great British climate very well. Add that to the fact that she has one of the most varied A-list followings under the sun – from Rita Ora to Kate Middleton – and we reckon if anyone can dish out some handy and simple summer style advice, it's her.
1. 'Always carry a lightweight jacket with you for when warm days turn into colder nights,' explains Rebecca, 'I love this White Summer blazer that is right on trend and a classic that can be worn season to season.'

2. 'Feel comfortable but still look great in matching printed pant suit.' Be sure to make it lightweight and breezy like this star print blouse and silky trousers below.
3. 'RMS lipstain adds instant glamour to your look, I always carry it in my bag!' Perfect for when a full face of makeup will only melt...
4. 'Studded sandals are perfect for summer in the city, they are chic and comfortable all at the same time.' As far a sandals go, simple but sturdy will take you a long way.

5. 'Add a splash of colour – to really stand out and brighten up your outfit,' says Rebecca, 'This sleeveless blouse is great with city shorts, jeans and skirts.'

"My Lord,
"This being the First Day of our mustering the Regiments within this County, having the Opportunity
of this Bearer's Address to you, we thought it worth
your Lordship's Knowledge, that, calling Sir Thomas
Jervoyse and Mr. Wellopp's Regiments before us, consisting, by their old Muster Books, of Eighteen Hundred, we had so ready an Obedience to your Commands, by the Ordinance of Parliament, that the full
Number made their Appearance, completely armed,
before us, with a Hundred Voluntiers out of the Town
of Basingstoake, and divers others from other adjacent
Parts. This, being our Beginning, doth put us in
Hope that we shall be able to give your Lordship a
good Account of your Commands in this (fn. †) Place, to

Day of May last past, being Whittson Monday, he did
hear John Escotte, of Lanceston aforesaid, Woollendraper, voluntarily to deliver these Words following
(or to the same Effect); videlicet, That he never
knew nor heard of a Parliament that did proceed so
basely as this present Parliament now doth; that
many able honest Men of the House were grieved
at their Proceedings; and that Mr. Seldon (who was
a Man that had more Learning than a Thousand
Round-headed Pyms) being demanded by an Acquaintance of his, why he came so seldom to the
House, made Answer, That he knew not to what
Purpose he should come thither; they were so overborn that there was no Good to be done; and that
then the said Mr. Seldon instanced thus to his said
"Suppose that you and I were playing a Game at
Slamme, and I have one Card in mine Hand, which
I am sure will either get or save the Game, which is
the Ace of Trumps; which I play, and you play the
Knave of Trumps upon it, and take up the Trick: I
ask you, Why you do so? You answer, Because you
have gotten it. How! say I, doth your Knave get
my Ace? You tell me, Yes. Hereupon we refer it to
a Vote; and the major Voice carrieth it for you.
"And this Deponent saith, That then the said Escott
further said, Thus the Parliament commands the
King; or used Words to that Purpose; and did then
also deliver other Words derogatory to the Parliament, which this Deponent doth not now certainly
remember. And he saith, That the same Words
were so delivered at Lanceston aforesaid.
"At Lanceston, the 16th Day of June, 1642.
"Henry Willis aforesaid did testify, upon his Oath,
before us whose Names are subscribed, That the
Words abovementioned were delivered, at the Time
and Place above specified, by the said John Escott, as
they are above set forth, or to the same Effect.
"Nicholas Gennys, Mayor.
"Leonard Treise, One of the
Justices of the Peace of the
County of Cornwall."

I've been taking them twice a day but I really can't tell if they are actually "doing" anything or not. I'm not sure it's something that you can tell from the outside of the body. I started taking several other vitamins and supplements at the same time so it's kind of hard to say what's what. I do feel good; maybe a little better than usual. It's probably too early to really feel or see any results yet.
So far, so good

10.11.06 - By Ted Sares: Ed Brophy is the Executive Director of the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Cannastota , NY. In 1990, as a consequence of an initiative by Ed to honor Canastota's world boxing champions Carmen Basilio and Billy Backus, the city of Canastota inaugurated the new museum, which showcases boxing's rich history. Award winning artist Richard T. Slone was named their official artist of the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1997 and remains so to this day. Since 1990, the IBHOF, under the leadership of Brophy, has added one wing to the Museum and an event pavilion adjacent to the Hall. The Hall holds annual induction ceremonies in early June as the highlight of a four-day celebration of boxing and its legends. These ceremonies are attended by many former world boxing champions, boxing celebrities and Hollywood celebrities.
Recently, I had occasion to interview Mr. Brophy as follows:
Ted The Bull: Hi Ed. I missed going to the Hall this past year but I'll be attending the Induction Ceremonies in 2007. Will there be anything new for 2007?
Ed Brophy: The highlight of the weekend will honor the middleweight division. Among other things, it will mark the 50th anniversary of Carmen Basilio's Ring magazine Fight of the year....not the only such fight in which he was involved. Carmen engaged in five Ring Magazine Fights of the year We will also be honoring the late Sugar Ray Robinson being named Fighter of the Year. The ceremonies will run from June 7-10 and the NIGHT OF MIDDLEWEIGHTS will be celebrated at the Rusty Nail Party House on Friday night, June 8.
This year the Banquet of Champions will be held at the nearby Syracuse Oncenter Complex which will allow us to accommodate more people and implement some other fun ideas. The Syracuse Chamber of commerce has greatly cooperated with the Canastota Chamber in this. As you know, Ted, former champions and Canastota natives Billy Backus and Carmen Basilio both won their titles in Syracuse. It promises to be a spectacular affair. The Banquet will on Saturday night, June 9, and as always will be preceded by the popular Gala Cocktail Reception in Canastota at 5:30.
Bull: Sounds super. The cocktail reception, one of my personal favorites, is a great opportunity to visit up close and personal with the boxers and inductees. By the way, speaking of inductees, one question that keeps popping up is the process for selecting them. Can you shed some light on that?
Ed: Well, we at the Hall, our staff, prepare the ballots and send them out to the writers and historians. The distribution is an international one. Once they are returned, the results are tallied by a professional organization and submitted to us.The induction results will be announced (along with a press kit) at a press conference on December 7, 2006 which is a month earlier than normal. We will continue this practice in the future in order to give more preparation and travel time for the attendees and also avoid conflicts with other ceremonies at other Hall of Fames.
Bull: Any plans for expansion of the Hall? I remember being involved in a small way with the new Pavilion and that was an exciting addition. Anything like that on the horizon?
Ed: We have a number of ideas for the future that are in the conceptual stage. As you are aware from your many visits, the Hall contains the World's largest storage of research material. We have great files on history, records and we have a storehouse of magazines and articles so we likely will need a library room down the line. In this connection, sketches will be drafted in 2007 and hopefully we will move into that direction shortly after, maybe by 2009.
Bull: Put e down as a financial contributor when the time comes, Ed. Now then, a few years back, I attended an affair in Lantana, MA (near Boston) that was conducted by the Hall. I recall that Tommy Morrison, Iran Barkley, Jamie Clampitt, Tony Demarco and Micky Ward were in attendance. My wife and I had a super time. I know you have had a few of these in New York state. Any chance for some in Southern New England in the future?
Ed: We have had then in many different places and they have all been very positive. Boston is a strong boxing town and there is a good possibility we will be having one down in that area again.
Bull: I think I know the answer to this one before I even ask it, but I'll go ahead it anyway. Any hints or clues as to who the inductees will be in 2007?
Ed: All I can say is that the December 7 press conference will be an exciting one and I hope you attend to find out who the inductees are.
Bull: Great, anything else you would like to add? Any plugs for the Hall?
Ed: Well, we are always overwhelmed by the support of the fans and the boxing community and the networks without whom it would be difficult to operate. We also have a strong team of local volunteers from the Canastota area to help keep things running smoothly. This will be our 18th anniversary. We have made tremendous progress over the years and we are already looking forward to a big 20th anniversary ceremony in 2009. In closing, I'd like to say let's keep the magic alive and rolling and let's preserve the history of boxing.
Bull: You have been there from the start, right, Ed?
Ed: Yes
Bull: Thanks so much. I'll see you in June if not sooner.

Competition Winner: "Goodbye Ponds"
Earlier this month we wanted you to submit a video tribute to Amy and Rory in our "Goodbye Ponds" competition.
There were many, many brilliant entries, with a number of them featured here. Picking a winner proved to be a tricky task, but in the end someone has to win and that person is Adam Larson.
Here's his submission:
We particularly liked the contrast of the Ponds' early moments with the more adventurous scenes and the changing music to reflect that. The use of clips to illustrate Amy's closing narration is another nice touch.
Congrats to Adam who wins a copy of the UK Series 7: Part 1 DVD, due for release 29 October 2012.
