Southwest Cancels 57 Flights After Computer Failure
By Jeff McMurray
CHICAGO -- A systemwide computer failure forced Southwest Airlines (LUV) to ground its entire fleet of airplanes preparing for departures late Friday, and at least 57 flights had to be canceled even after service was fully restored hours later, a company spokeswoman said.
The spokeswoman, Michelle Agnew, told The Associated Press that 43 of the cancellations were flights scheduled for late Friday night departures in the western half of the country. The 14 others were Saturday morning flights scattered across the U.S. because crews were not able to get to airports in time to make the scheduled takeoffs.
An estimated 250 flights -- most of them on the West Coast -- were grounded at least temporarily Friday night. The glitch impaired the airline's ability to do such things as conduct check-ins, print boarding passes and monitor the weight of each aircraft.Some flights were on the taxiway and diverted back to the terminal after the problem was detected around 8 p.m. Pacific time Friday, Southwest spokesman Brad Hawkins said. Flights already in the air were unaffected. Shortly after 11 p.m. Pacific time, Southwest posted on its Twitter page that "systems are operating and we will begin work to get customers where they need to be. Thanks for your patience tonight." Agnew said the computer system was "running at full capacity" by early Saturday. Before that, though, officials used a backup system that was much more sluggish. "Backup systems are in place, not the main system, so it's slower," Hawkins said after service resumed. "But we are able to start launching these flights." He said cancellations were inevitable because the airline doesn't do red-eye flights and by the time the problem was fixed, it was near "the end of our operational day." The late hour of the disruption meant the computer problem affected far more flights on the West Coast, but Hawkins said at least a few on the East Coast were grounded as well. Southwest, based in Dallas, conducts, on average, 3,400 flights a day. A spokesman for Los Angeles International Airport said that of about 25 inbound and outbound flights remaining Friday, only five departing flights were experiencing delays, of 30 to 80 minutes. At LA/Ontario International Airport, a total of three flights -- all departures -- were affected.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Traditional, Romantic, Retro / Vintage, Classic
What materials did you use? I used an old brooch my grandmother gave me before she passed away. The earrings were made into matching necklaces for my daughter and my niece and my aunt got the necklace.
What are you most proud of? I've up-cycled this piece of jewelry into 3 pieces - a necklace made from the brooch and 2 necklaces made from the earrings. My aunt was speechless and the rest of my family wanted to know if I would be willing to make MORE if there were more costume pieces found. Of course I would... it's a fitting tribute to my grandma!
A beautiful piece as well as a fitting tribute.
I love what you've done with the brooch. You lost none of the integrety of the initial design. Fabulous job!
Thank you! :) My aunt cried when I gave it to her and my daughter and neice now have a special something old when they get married.
Very nice--Love it!

The Worst Twitter Auto-DMs In Human History
Full disclosure: I used to send auto-DMs on Twitter (automated Direct Messages).
Using a service like Social Oomph, you can have a Direct Message fire off to any new Twitter follower you have. I sent them thinking I was actually providing value (a coupon for my funny t-shirt site, of course!). It didn't seem to affect the popularity of my Twitter handle, but who knows? Maybe I pissed off more people than I ever realized.
The only mitigating factor was that I remained and have always been extremely active on Twitter, very communicative, always engaging. I didn't hide behind auto-DMs – I'll chat with most anyone. It's easy to get to know me.
So it may seem hypocritical to ask, but why the hell are people still sending these damn things?
Stop the madness!!! By the way, check out this article on Tim Scullin's site: How To Opt Out Of Annoying Twitter DMs
Also check out Sean Malarkey's article How To Get Rid Of DM Spam On Twitter. Besides, Sean is a handsome man lol.
Truthfully, these can't be the worst auto-DMs ever. Please help! Leave a comment below with the very worst auto-DMs you've ever received!

According to Eugene Debs, what problems will socialism resolve? It will eliminate the restrictions to industrial freedom that capitalism creates. It will direct the energies of the toiling masses toward prosperous endeavors. It will destroy the power of greed and exploitation in the American economy. It will end poverty and put an end to the life-long struggle of the working class.

Replacement Made Easy with Pocket Windows
September 09, 2010
In the past, window replacement has been a more complex project best suited for professional contractors or highly skilled do-it-yourselfers. Due to improved product technology, replacing existing windows with pocket windows is a project suitable for intermediate to more experienced do-it-yourself enthusiasts. Replacing existing windows with pocket windows can help save as much as 60 percent on material, time and labor costs when compared to traditional full window replacements.
Our replacement pocket windows are designed for installation into existing window frames, regardless of the brand of the original window. These replacement windows are ideal for homeowners looking to upgrade from inefficient single pane windows or replace old windows that don't work properly. Because the replacement windows fit into existing openings, the process is simpler, quicker and less damaging to a home's structure. This is key for window replacements with brick or stucco exteriors.
So next time a remodel savvy homeowner is looking to you to recommend a smart solution for window replacement at an affordable price, be sure to tell them about pocket replacement windows for their home project needs.

UConn bans romantic student-faculty relationships
The University of Connecticut has banned romantic relationships between undergraduate students and faculty and staff.
The Board of Trustees approved the prohibition on Wednesday. The policy says romantic relationships between supervisors and subordinate employees often distort judgment and undermine workplace morale.
Faculty and staff members also are barred from relationships with graduate students under that individual's authority. The policy says graduate students should avoid relationships with students over whom they have authority.
Students who are in relationships with faculty members or graduate students before enrolling at UConn must disclose their relationships to the university.
If relationships in violation of the policy continue, the university could take authority away from the faculty or staff member involved.
University spokeswoman Stephanie Reitz said the policy updates UConn rules on discrimination and harassment.

As many of you know, November is National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short. I've always thought the idea of Nanowrimo is a great one, giving writers, both professional and not the impetus and support to actually sit down and write that novel they've had stuck in their craw. It's a great thing.
I, however, am NOT so much a writer. My skills (or talents, if you must) tend more toward the visual than the written. But, Ashlie's writing a NaNo story, and I didn't want to be left out this year. So, I did what I do so often, and went my own way with someone else' concept.
My goal is to draw a picture book and have it at least partially colored by the end of the month of November. To that end, (and to keep some sort of pressure on myself) I'm posting each page as it's drawn on my Tumblr every day. And then on Friday, I'll post all 5 for that week up here for you to look at. How's that for service? Let's get this party started, shall we?
In these pages, you can see Kevin sets off with determination to get to the school (where the big brains are grown) but has come across yet another obstacle: A cauliflower field! What are these things, Kevin wonders. Are they edible?
NO. At least not as far as Kevin is concerned.
Unfortunately, Kevin's discovery of this highly educated cabbage (per Mark Twain) is not well-received by the farmer that owns the field. Kevin is chased off and beats feet toward the school, post-haste.
So, that's week three! Check me out on Tumblr to catch these as they're updated and swing back by here next week. Also, I've started a weekly feature here on MMP about our Geeky Greeting Cards where I feature a card a week. I'll be writing about new designs I come up with and old designs that I like. If you have a card design you'd like to read me yak about, let me know in the comments. As always, if you have a Geeky Greeting Card idea you'd like to see made, let me know at Dane [at] monkeyminionpress.com. If I like your idea enough to make it into a card, I'll send you a set of free cards and do a post about it right here on the blog.
See you next week, minions!

Not everyone watches the game...
...and everyone thought that Manchester United would play Cardiff in the semi-final. not goin to happen...
I think this is worse than losing to Man City 1 to 6. I mean...Crystal Palace, how worse can it be...
Here is.
Benfica played excellent but the goalie blocked most of their "could" be goals.
Three statements: 1. O Martins is a great player at Birmingham. 2. Sczeny sucks! 3. Arsenal will never win a trophy.
Curve, dip, strike, volley, headers...wow all types of goals was in one match.

Jacksons may chafe at ascetic prison life facing them
by KIM JANSSEN Federal Courts Reporter August 14, 2013 5:34PM
Jon Burge
Updated: September 17, 2013 7:53AM
If Jesse Jackson Jr. gets his wish, he could end up in the same prison complex as Chicago Police torturer Jon Burge and Ponzi-scheme king Bernie Madoff.
The disgraced former congressman asked to serve his 2 1/2-year sentence at either the federal prison camp in Montgomery, Ala., or the federal correctional institution in Butner, N.C. — where Burge and Madoff are locked up in separate facilites on the complex. Madoff is in one of the medium-security facilities, Burge in a low-security one.
While Judge Amy Berman Jackson (no relation) agreed Wednesday to recommend those facilities, it's up to the Bureau of Prisons to decide where Jackson goes.
Jackson's first choice, the minimum security camp on Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, is the federal camp closest to Washington, D.C., and would "allow Mr. Jackson to maintain contact with his wife and children during incarceration," his lawyers wrote in a recent filing.
The low-security prison at Butner is closer still and is near North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, where Jackson attended college.
Inmates at both prisons are expected to work — maintaining the base at Montgomery, and starting out as a food service worker at Butner, with the possibility of earning a factory job.
Inmates at Marianna, the Florida panhandle federal prison camp where Sandi Jackson hopes to be placed, usually work in the prison's computer recycling business.
Dress and spending rules at all three prisons may chafe on the spendthrift couple. Khaki prison scrubs are mandatory, while watches worth more than $75 are banned, and inmates can't typically spend more than $320 a month.
"Incarceration can be a difficult experience," the guidebook provided to inmates at Marianna warns. "At times you may feel discouraged, frustrated and helpless."

Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith (2009)
by Deborah Heiligman
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Booklist starred (January 1, 2009), Horn Book starred (July 2009)
I thought this was a fascinating story about Charles Darwin's struggle to balance his desire to believe in the divine while facing the scientific evidence he saw with his own eyes. It definitely is a very humanizing story of a fascinating historical figure.
Q4 - I typically don't read biographies, however this one was very well written and engaging. I think this is partly due to the intended teen audience - the author picked a fresh angle to approach the biography (focusing on the relationship between Darwin and his wife and the conflict between his beliefs and hers) and had a good hook to catch the reader's focus (the book starts with a pro/con list Darwin actually made on whether or not to get married).
P4 - As a winner of multiple book awards [National Book Award Nominee for Young People's Literature (2009), School Library Journal Best Book of the Year (2009), Printz Honor (2010), YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults (2010)], this book will definitely get a lot of press and praise from teachers and librarians. As for actual readership from the intended audience, I would imagine a book like this would be popular with kids who read nonfiction.
How do you balance science and faith? What happens when you add love to the mix? Can you love people with radically different opinions than your own? Charles and Emma avoids pat answers while giving a clear-eyed view of the romance between Charles Darwin and his wife Emma. Nonfiction for young adults is difficult; it has to be accessible and interesting without being condescending; a book about evolution is even more difficult. Heiligman manages her topicwell, as she assumes little background knowledge about Darwin or the theory of evolution and clarifies points without talking down to her readers. She clearly and concisely explains the social circumstances of the time period as well as key points of the theory of evolution while keeping the main focus of the book squarely on the Darwins. Readers hoping for an in-depth discussion of the theory of evolution or Darwin's discoveries may be disappointed, as Heiligman confines herself brief overviews; the real strength lies in her exploration of the relationship of doubting Charles and religious Emma and how they loved each other deeply despite being divided about Charles' discoveries. Endnotes and an extensive bibliography provide sources and further reading. Highly recommended for late middle school through adult. Somewhat conversational style makes it seem less academic than it really is, but never fear- Heigilman did her research.
Charles and Emma the Darwin's "Leap of Faith" is about the marriage between the Charles and Emma Darwin. The book covers Charles's devolvement of the theory of evolution while trying to be respectful of his wife's devout beliefs. Moreover, it covers Darwin's attempt to reconcile his own thoughts concerning evolution and religion. Additionally, it is about the love story between Charles and Emma. I could use excerpts of this book in a lesson. I could partner with a Biology teacher to do a cross discipline lesson on the theory of evolution itself as well as it in an historical context.
Using a visual analysis of the text, there is a fair amount of made up material. The author ascribes thoughts and feelings to the characters, to make the story more interesting, that she could not know. There is a good deal of information in the book. The author did a lot of research as evidenced by the source notes and quotations in the text. The book structure is somewhat complex. It has chronology and topic organization. The book is fairly narrative as it tells the story of Charles and Emma's life together. It is somewhat expository as it communicates Darwin's theories. Heiligman uses some literary devices such as diction and occasionally metaphors. I feel the book has a strong author's voice. It felt like the book had a distinct storyteller. There was a minimal amount of front matter but there was an abundant amount of back matter. There was a forward in the front of the book. In the back of the book there was an epilogue, source notes, questions, and much besides. There was not a very large amount of visual material. However, there were images and photographs of people and places mentioned in the book. There was also a family tree. So I can't say that there was not some visual material. Nonetheless, it was primarily after the main text so I'm not sure if it should be counted.
My "VOYA" Rating: 4Q, 2P
Charles and Emma opens up with Charles debating on whether or not he should get married. His list of reasons to marry or not marry is filled with his fear of loosing his freedom, individuality, and chances to continue his life of studying and traveling. Darwin decides that he will get married because his list of positives outweighs the negatives. Charles marries his cousin Emma. This story of their love and respect for each other, the compromises that each of them make and the opposing views on religion and evolution is researched and written so well.
This book was really about science and faith and the part it played in the Darwins' relationship. The author does an amazing job of constructing a book that provides a rather intimate lens of Darwin's everyday life, relationship with his family, wife, and children. She also provides her audience with a view of Darwin's internal struggle of how he spent 15 years debating whether or not to publish his work and his wife's role in helping him with his work.
I like the more intimate view of Darwin. It made this book much more accessible and gave me tidbits of information that I would of never of sought out on my own. I am not so sure how accessible this book would be to a YA audience. I think it would be one of the ones that instructors would have to push on their students. (Although, the romance aspect may grab a few more than expected.)

This time of year, many children are struggling to keep up at school. A close collaborative, positive working relationship with your child's school is crucial to help him or her. Ask around, scope out who can help you at the school and find an advocate. Remember, your goal is to advocate but not irritate.
It is crucial that you have the right mindset when advocating for your child at school, and the right mindset begins in and with how you view yourself. Your input really does count, and, if constructively presented, it will make a difference.
The key to offering helpful input is to NOT allow these destructive thoughts to get in the way:
- I feel I should be doing a better job at home.
- She needs to fail, and then she will respect your teachers.
- I don't know how much help to ask for.
- The school really won't help.
- This is all only going to get worse.
- I'm embarrassed to ask the school for help.
To create an empowered, success-geared attitdue for advocating for advocating for your child at school, try thinking in THESE WAYS shown below:

NEW YORK (AP) _ Human rights groups and activists are denouncing
Iran's government for executing teenagers and discriminating
against women. But at the same time, they acknowledge that Tehran's
rights record is significantly better than in some other Middle
Eastern nations.
The U.N.'s human rights department has condemned the Iranian
government for allowing the executions of juveniles.
The activists say the situation regarding women's rights in Iran
has deteriorated sharply in recent years. Labor rights also have
suffered, with a number of organizers jailed in recent months for
trying to set up independent trade unions.
But they also point out that in relation to such nations as
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, Iranians still
enjoy significantly greater democratic and human rights.
The activists held a news conference in New York, a day before
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is scheduled to address the U.N. General Assembly.

Why Does My Son Only Like the Bad Guys?
If you have an evil cackle, malicious facial expressions, the odd wart or two or green-colored skin, and pick fights with heroic, selfless individuals, chances are: you are a storybook villain, and my son just adores you.
For the past few months, my 3 ½-year-old has been utterly entranced by the "bad guy" in everything from biblical stories and children's books to comic strips and movies. In discussing the Purim holiday, he perked up only when we told him of Haman, asking numerous questions: "Mommy, is he a bad guy?" "But why is he mean to Mordechai?" "How come he wants to hurt the Jewish people?" Though he is interested in Batman and other masked heroes of his ilk, my son is way more transfixed by the Joker, as made evident when he pulls his pants down several times a day, bends over to prominently display his character underwear to me, and asks, "Mommy, who do YOU want to be on my underwear? I want to be the Joker because he's mean!" Read the rest of this entry →

The ephemeral gets timeless when architects and artists represent the digital age in crystal. Fourteen designers accepted Swarovski's challenge to pair the two for an exhibit at London's Design Museum, Digital Crystal, including Ron Arad, Maarten Baas, Random International, and Yvés Behar. Arad's Lolita (shown) at first appears as a traditional chandelier, but upon second glance, is lit up with digital letters, as if a Times Square news ticker was wrapt around itself and hung in a living room. The exhibit will also include some pieces from Swarovski's archives. Even if you can't make it to London, the Design Museum wants public interaction: just tweet Lolita a message at #digitalcrystal.

MetroPCS, Cricket Offer Financing for High-End Phones
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - As smartphones get larger and more sophisticated, handset prices are increasing accordingly. Passing that price along to consumers is somewhat easy for large carriers. But, smaller ones, the "no contract" providers with low monthly service charges who make you pay for your new phone upfront - their high-end sales are hurting.
So, two of those companies, MetroPCS (PCS) and Cricket, a division of Leap Wireless (LEAP), are offering slightly different short-term financing plans for customers who want to own bigger/better/higher-priced models. For instance, the Samsung Galaxy S III, which is currently selling at the sale price of $399 on MetroPCS' Web site.
The idea is similar to larger carrier T-Mobile's "Value" plans - the big difference being T-Mobile requires you also sign a two-year service agreement. Listen carefully to its new TV ads, where T-Mobile boasts that new phones "start" at low advertised prices.
MetroPCS will let you have up to 60 days to pay off the price of any of its new 4G LTE phones. The short-term loan doesn't come cheap. The company handling the financing, Billfloat, will lend you the money at APR rates as high as 36%, along with a service charge between $9 and $18.Cricket offers financial help with phones that retail for more than $200. The carrier will let you finance up to 90% of the charges for as long as nine months, but will waive interest charges if you pay everything within the first 90 days. Cricket has also launched its own 4G LTE network in a handful of cities, including Philadelphia, Phoenix, Houston, San Antonio and Austin. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

I have had the pleasure of going to the Wild Animal Sanctuary (Rocky Mountain Wildlife Conservation) for many years. To see the incredible care and love that the entire staff provide these beautiful animals is awe-inspiring. It is awesome how the animals come first, not the humans. It is easy to know the concern when you see how the habitats are designed and "furnished" with activities that enrich and protect them. Each species needs and enrichment are individually designed as well as the "special needs" animals. One of my favorite stories was about a tiger in the round house facility. He had gotten old and unable to get into his water tank to play, so they got him a lower one, so he could still have his own hot tub. I watched him hanging out in it. That is what they deserve, to be able to live their lives in peace and in a beautiful setting. I am so glad to have had the honor of talking to Pat Craig and the other staff. They deserve all the accolades and support possible. Kathleen Eccles

Dr. Shannon Hoff (Institute for Christian Studies)
"Hegel and the Possibility of Intercultural Criticism"
Tuesday, April 22
Commons Annex Lecture Hall
Abstract: In Hegel's philosophy, the concept of "ethical life" presents powerfully the way in which human beings are formed by the specific social contexts in which they are situated. With his discussion of the idea of "conscience," conversely, Hegel shows how individuals intractably shape these worlds, leaving the mark of their singularity upon all that which forms and claims them. This paper will examine this account of the two-sided character of human agency so as to develop an approach to a particularly charged issue facing political practice—namely, the issue of intercultural criticism, or the issue of how to identify and approach instances of injustice in contexts and worlds that are not one's own. I will argue: a) that the idea of ethical life shows what is wrong with the strategy of simply imposing one's own political mechanisms on other contexts; and b) that the idea of conscience shows what is wrong with simply refraining from any kind of communication and criticism in the name of the self-determination of the other people with whom one is concerned. Through analysis of the conscientious stance of confession and forgiveness, I will conclude by identifying what would be required for a just approach to political action and judgement across cultural borders and between social worlds, or what intercultural interaction and communication leading to better sociopolitical conditions would look like.

LOL this is actually kind of humorous.
Can't see that the refs are going to call that on the last play, George needed a running start toward the basket.
I don't begrudge you for having an opinion that differs from mine.
What I take exception to is being consistently called out and being spoken down to EVERY single time I bring up anything after a loss that isn't simply "We sucked, we deserved to lose."
I can deal with people disagreeing with me, that is totally fine.
However, I don't appreciate being disrespected and mocked.

Pierce created contact with PG by moving backwards into him. Not only did he create contact, he then used his body to forcible move PG about 4-5 feet backwards while PG was attempting to make a play on the ball.
Therein lies my beef.
Definitely not.
The difference between this play and the one in Denver is that Iguodala actually was in the air. Paul never got off the ground. That being said, the call in Denver was atrocious but there was a lot more to see there. That played a role in the call being made.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
Worse non call ever damn you referees!!!!!
If we're going to assert that since Paul was not completely airborne it doesn't count, then doesn't that mean that when he is attempting to cut to the basket in order to jump in the air to tip the ball and Pierce forcibly uses his body to force him out of the play...
Sounds like a textbook blocking foul to me.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
Where I am contending that it was questionable is when he then lowered his center of gravity, and simply bodied PG backwards as he was trying to get to the basket.
Is there video for this? That might help some decide. Sadly from my viewpoint of the game I couldn't see but it wouldn't have mattered if I could have seen as I was already putting on my coat for the long walk of shame through the Celtic fan gauntlet that I had to go through.
Don't get me wrong if we were fouled and it wasn't called then I'm not happy but at the end of the day IMO we should not have EVER been in that position. We played as bad of a quarter of basketball as we have all season long and the Celtics were just flat out brilliant.
I'll try to find some footage, but don't know how easy that would be to do.
Looked to me like Pierce had great defensive position on Paul George. Maybe George should've tried separating instead of trying to go thru him or above him or whatever he thought he was going to do....
Nuntius was right. I was wrong. Frank Vogel has retained his job.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."

I didn't think it was a foul but that doesn't mean that if it was a foul I wouldn't expect it to be called. Don't really like the "the game shouldn't be decided on that type of play" part but still voted no.
If that was a foul, then every proper box out in the history of basketball is also a foul. George wasn't shooting, so he didn't have the right to that space any more than Pierce did.
Also, I voted "no" but genuinely think it wasn't a foul. The wording of the no response in the poll seems to indicate that it would be a foul if it weren't an end of game situation, and that's not the case for many I'm sure.

not a foul. never going to be a foul. very nice blockout though.
to get a foul call, paul has to do something other than just stand there and get pushed around. spin move, swim move or just don't let pierce get his hands on you. something.
Absolutely not a foul. However, that goaltending was wrongly called...

Call and run a better play. That poorly conceived and poorly executed attempt to score was the perfect icing on the fourth quarter cake.
This is a moodcreating posterattacking bs questionnaire with a condition on the no answer that is outright pretentious and silly at the same time, that means that people who think it was not a foul but a foul should be called even in that situation if it really was a foul could never vote no, despite some still doing that.
Whether it happens or not is irrelevant but fouls should be called the same all 48 minutes, that is why we have 1 rulebook only and not several for different times in the game.
If a foul get's committed with .02 seconds left and determines or can determine the outcome of the game it should be called just the same as it was at the beginning of the game or the game last week or last month.
The same applies vice - versa

Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
This would not have been a foul at any point in the game. Pierce has just as much right to the position as George did.

Oceana board member Ted Danson provides the voiceover for the new film "The End of Line," based on journalist Charles Clover's book exposing the overfishing crisis facing the oceans. Despite their mutual interest in ocean conservation, the Brit and the Californian had never met - until Oceana arranged a transcontinental phone call in June just after the U.S. premiere of the film.
Ted Danson: I was so impressed with the film. I thought it turned out really well, and it is astounding how well it fits with Oceana's agenda. How long ago did you first literally decide to pick up pen and paper and start this journey?
Charles Clover: I tried to sell the idea of a book on the collapse of world fisheries in 1996. But I was unable to place it with publishers for the kind of advance that meant I could write it. They said, "Oh, what an interesting subject, nobody's done that, have they? No. We don't think it's very commercial. Nice book but we don't think it's worth our while to pay for it." And I said, "Thanks very much but no thanks." And waited until about 2003 until somebody hunted me down, by which time it had all changed. So that's how it really happened.
By the mid '90s, we were all beginning at last to understand what was happening, what had happened to the northern cod. It wasn't really reported properly at the time. Some of these really important things never get reported in the papers and you know, '96 was I think, just before a general election here and the government had really let go of the reins and there was the most rampant overfishing, illegal fishing, black cod, black everything, black fish landings, in the U.K. and I did a huge scoop on that. But I had been following fishing for a long time before that. I could see things were pretty bad.
TD People ask me this all the time: Do you remember the person, the moment, the little bit of knowledge, that first piqued your interest to get you involved?
CC Yes, I do! I walked into the wrong press conference in The Hague in 1990, when I had been highly skeptical as a reporter of all the reporting
about the pollution in the sea. It was in Dutch, which didn't help, and I remember the slides on the screen.
It was sufficiently comprehensible for me to realize this was really interesting. I think there must have been a graph up on the screen or something, a slide of trawling, and it was the first time that I'd ever seen the description of what a beam trawler does to the bed of the ocean.
How did you get involved in this thing?
TD For me, it was probably moving into a neighborhood in Santa Monica, California that was involved with a local fight to keep Occidental Petroleum from digging oil wells right down the coast, on the beach, into the bay. I met a man named Robert Sulnick, who was an environmental lawyer, and we were successful - and we thought, how can we continue to defend the oceans?
It was very naive and slightly presumptuous, and Cheers was paying a lot of money so I could afford to hire him. American Oceans Campaign is what we named the fledging organization. It started off as basically a no-oil organization, but then we worked on coastal pollution as well, and we would go back and forth to Washington.
When you see something is based on ignorance, when you see what's happening to the ocean and you see that it doesn't have to be that way - that if we were good stewards, if we were good businessmen, if we did the common sense thing, this wouldn't have to happen, and when you realize that your children won't necessarily get to have the right to go fish and eat fish and enjoy the ocean like we all did for centuries, that really irritates me.
CC That's a very good way of putting it. The thing I suppose that got me interested in it was just that, partly it was journalistic hunger for a story I knew must be true from my own experience because I'm a fisherman.
And I watched all the freshwater fish get in to trouble, and I knew that the migratory fish that I was also catching like salmon and sea trout were in trouble. I knew that part of the story was in the sea, so I couldn't believe that all the rest of the other species weren't in trouble, too. And people said, "Oh no, they're all being nicely managed by the scientists." I suppose it is part of my nature not to believe that.
TD What kind of reception has "The End of the Line" met so far in the U.K.?
CC The movie's being seen in the light of Al Gore's film because it is that kind of film, an independent film made on a small budget because you couldn't make it anywhere else. Nobody, no wildlife filmmaker would employ you to make this film because it introduces the hand of man.
But in the Daily Mail, suddenly, out of nowhere, no recognition for this issue whatsoever in Britain, we get a headline on the Op-Ed page: "Should We Stop Eating Fish? That's the question raised by new film which claims many species face extinction.
Eco-scaremongering or the unappetizing truth?" In a funny sort of sense, I thought, "Oh, that's probably it." Because Europe is so bad at this business of managing fisheries. It is really our Achilles heel. So we needed to make this film to wake Europe up, to an extent, but it's also a global issue, like "An Inconvenient Truth" was about climate.
TD Wow, this has been an amazing conversation for me and really a pleasure to have a little one-on-one time with you. I was so impressed with "The End of the Line" and I think it really tells the story in a very compelling and complete way. My hat is off to you. I was thrilled to be part of it.
CC Likewise to you, because I've been studying your CNN interview for pointers on how you get the stuff out really quickly, because I haven't been doing that for the last week or two and I've just been trying to boil it down. I thought, "This guy, Ted Danson, he's just said every single thing in a very, very short interview." I'm impressed. [Your narration] lifted it to a different level. We badly needed someone to give it that sort of global feel.
TD Charles, I hope to see you face to face someday in London, that would be really special.
CC A beer would be a very nice idea.
The End of the Line: Where have all the fish gone?
Charles Clover's book-turned-documentary has been called "investigative journalism at its best" by the New Scientist. Taking a global look at overfishing, the film includes scenes from Alaska to Senegal. Clover appears in the film along with Dr. Daniel Pauly, world-renowned fisheries scientist and Oceana board member. "The End of the Line" screens in theaters this summer across the United States.

Joe Madureira
(Creative Director -
; Artist -
Uncanny X-Men; Battle Chasers
Joe Madureira (often called Joe Mad), is a comic book writer/artist and game developer, best known for his work on Marvel Comics' Uncanny X-Men and his creator-owned comic book Battle Chasers.
Madureira's first published work was an eight-page story for the anthology series Marvel Comics Presents, starring Northstar. He became the regular penciler on Uncanny X-Men in 1994 illustrating that book's installments of the "Age of Apocalypse" storyline.
He left Uncanny X-Men in 1997 to work on his own sword and sorcery series Battle Chasers for Wildstorm Comics' creator-owned Cliffhanger imprint (before it was sold to DC Comics).
Madureira produced a total of nine issues in four years. He placed the series "on hold" after forming a game development company called Tri-Lunar with Tim Donley and Greg Peterson.
With Tri-Lunar, he created concept art on a game called Dragonkind which was canceled when Tri-Lunar went out of business. He then went to work for Realm Interactive, another start-up company, on Trade Wars: Dark Millennium. When Realm Interactive was acquired by NCsoft, he continued to contribute to the game as it evolved into Exarch, and was eventually released as Dungeon Runners.
Madureira returned to the comic book industry as the artist on Marvel's The Ultimates 3, with writer Jeph Loeb. The second issue was published in January 2008, the third issue released on February 20, 2008. Ultimates 3 #4 came out on June 25, 2008.
In July 2007, Vigil Games' Darksiders was announced, of which Joe Madureira was creative director. It follows War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, on his quest to find out who prematurely triggered the apocalypse. It was released on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on January 5, 2010.
Joe has also provided cover artwork for Capcom's Marvel Super Heroes for the Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation, and the Sony Playstation game Gekido: Urban Warriors.

The US has said a new offensive to drive the Taliban from the southern Afghanistan city of Kandahar is under way and will steadily "ramp up" in the months ahead.The military and political efforts against the Taliban around Kandahar, Afghanistan's second largest city, are the next step in the US-led strategy to end a war now in its ninth year.
General Stanley McChrystal, the commander of US and Nato troops in Afghanistan, said the offensive had begun with initial military and political efforts, including operations to secure key roads and districts."Kandahar is already being shaped," McChrystal said on Thursday, adding that efforts will "ramp up" in the coming weeks and months ahead, lasting "a significant time".
A major offensive in Kandahar, once a Taliban stronghold, would follow the current military operation in neighbouring Helmand province,which appears to have largely pushed back the Taliban and given the government a chance to take control.'Reversing momentum'"What you are going to see in the months ahead, without giving too much detail, is a number of activities to shape the political relationships in and around Kandahar," he said.
McChrystal said there would also be a "series of activities" to boost security, like more partnering with Afghan police inside Kandahar city and boosting troop levels in the surrounding areas.
"If you control the environs around Kandahar, you go a long way to controlling Kandahar," he said.
McChrystal has not given a timeline for the operation but said last week in Kabul that troops would be at full force for Kandahar operations by the early summer.Kandahar is the next target in major military operations to eradicate the Taliban from areas they have controlled, in many cases in tandem with drug cartels, over the years since their regime was overthrown in 2001.
Operation Moshtarak- "together" in Dari and Pashto - is the first major test of the strategy of Barack Obama, the US president, to take on the Taliban and end the eight-year conflict with one of the biggest offensives since the 2001 US-led invasion.It is designed to clear Taliban fighters from the Marjah region of the southern province and hold it so that the civilian administration can establish itself.The strategy comprises military, political and civilian approaches in four stages dubbed "shape, take, hold and build" and aims to ensure that once eradicated, the Taliban threat does not re-emerge.
Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel-Hamid, reporting from Kabul, the Afghan capital, said: "These are the very early stages of the Kandahar offensive.
"We are at the 'shape' phase of the operation, however, there are military offensives being carried out around the city of Kandahar to facilitate a larger offensive in the coming weeks."The campaign in Kandahar is seen as a crucial test of Obama's strategy to reverse Taliban momentum after more than eight years of war.
Initial stages of the strategy aimed at speeding up the war's end began in Kandahar province around November, a Western official told the AFP news agency, on condition of anonymity.
"The emphasis increased last November, and most of it is invisible because it is aimed at understanding the situation on the ground, the political landscape and the human terrain," he said.
"We all understand how important and iconic Kandahar is for the Taliban - it was their first foothold."Taliban stronghold
Zalmai Ayobi, a spokesman for Kandahar governor Turyalai Wisa, said consultations had begun with tribal elders and community leaders as the long-term goal was to "expand good governance to all districts and villages".
Kandahar city, is Afghanistan's second largest city after Kabul and the birthplace of the Taliban, who ruled Afghanistan from 1996 until their overthrow in the 2001 US-led invasion.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for a multiple suicide bomb attack on the city last Saturday that killed 35 people,saying it was intended to sabotage the planned offensive.
Bruno Kasdorf, chief of staff at the International Security and Assistance Force (Isaf) said there would "definitely" be an operation in the northern province of Kunduz, where most of Germany's 4,300 troops in Afghanistan are based.
He declined to give details but Lieutenant Colonel Michael Kaemmerer, an Isaf spokesman, said it would be similar in "type not the scale" to Moshtarak.
The number of foreign troops under US and Nato command is set to rise to 150,000 by August, with most of the new deployment heading to the south.
The 15,000 US, Nato and Afghan troops currently deployed to Helmand's Marjah and Nad Ali areas for Operation Moshtarak will remain in the province for other offensives there, the spokesman said.
Newly arrived troops would be sent to Kandahar, he said, adding that foreign troops would remain in both provinces to ensure security was maintained and the Taliban did not re-emerge.
But in the battle to win the support of local people, perceptions that Kandahar's leaders are corrupt could be an obstacle to long-term success, military officials have said.
Ahmed Wali Karzai, the elected leader of Kandahar's provincial council, has long denied allegations that he has ties to the three-billion-dollar-a-year illicit drug trade.
