City to receive $137,848 grant
FERRIS - The city of Ferris was awarded a grant of $137,848 through the Community Oriented Policing Services Hiring Program, under the Department of Justice's COPS program to help hire additional officers for community policing and homeland security efforts.
United States Senator John Cornyn- R, announced Friday, Oct.1 the funding will go directly to law enforcement agencies to hire additional law enforcement personnel to increase and strengthen their community policing capacity and crime prevention efforts.
"COPS plays a crucial role in helping make our communities safe," said Cornyn.
"This funding will provide local law enforcement in Ferris with the financial resources to hire more personnel in order to bolster emergency response and overall efforts to crack down on crime."
COPS grants provide 100 percent funding for approved entry-level salaries and benefits for three years for newly-hired, full-time sworn officer positions.
Ferris City Manager Eric Strong said the grant will allow them to add one additional officer.
"Only 8 percent of the applications for this grant were funded, so we feel very honored and fortunate that we were one of the select few that were chosen to participate," said Strong.

Pete Burns
Remember Pete Burns from the 80's who was always being compared to Boy George? He sang that tune "You spin me right round baby right round ...". Here's what he used to look like. Feminine, yet still attractive.
Here's what he looks like now (it's shocking):
» Pete Burns scaring people everywhere - Awful Plastic Surgery, trout pout, ugly breast implants
I think you posted the wrong link for the second one. It's a picture of a woman.
Look at his wiki page: Pete Burns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't know who this guy is (I wasn't around in the 80's!!!) but he looks super scary in that picture. Do you think he looks a little bit like octomom?
His cheek implants sort of look like Priscilla Presley's - big round balls under the skin! The wiki entry says he went into a civil union with his boyfriend a couple years ago. Guy or girl, who on earth would want to marry that thing.
He was somewhat attractive ... good bone structure, nice eyes, etc. He has destroyed himself.
What is wrong with our culture?
If we had plastic surgery around 200 years ago I do not think people would go around doing this to themselves.
It's a sad sign of the times.
Body modification and plastic surgery WAS around 200 years ago. Women stretched their lips and necks as a sign of beauty. Men removed their ribs so they cound bend over further, and have advantages at their work. Tattoos and piercings were also around back then as well.
Pete Burns is an example of a mentally ill man who has a very bad case of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. As sad as it is, it makes you wonder ... what does HE think when he looks in the mirror? That's what matters.
This person looks like a woman and it is SICK! There is no reason for someone to do this! I get why men get plastic surgery but not to look like a WOMAN!

Bear man faces sixth DUI
A Bear man has been pulled over and charged with his sixth DUI.
Jeffrey Barnes was pulled over early Friday morning after making an illegal U-turn at a light on Coastal Highway at State Route 24.

Barnes was caught after a brief chase. He was taken into custody where police found he had five previous DUI's dating back to 1996.

MSNBC (stylized as msnbc) is an American basic cable and satellite channel that provides news coverage and political opinion on current events. It is owned by the NBCUniversal News Group, a unit of the NBCUniversal Television Group division of NBCUniversal. Its name was derived from the most common abbreviations for Microsoft and the National Broadcasting Company.[5]
MSNBC and msnbc.com were founded in 1996 as partnerships of Microsoft and General Electric's NBC unit, which is now NBCUniversal.[6] The online partnership of msnbc.com ended on July 16, 2012 and the site was rebranded as NBCNews.com.[7] MSNBC shares the NBC logo of a rainbow peacock with its sister channels NBC, CNBC, Shop NBC and NBC Sports Network.
Beginning in the mid-2000s, MSNBC's opinion programming increasingly reflected its concept of political progressivism. In October 2010, it publicly acknowledged this with a marketing campaign it called "Lean Forward".[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Further, in September 2013, MSNBC launched its revamped official website under the tagline, "What Progressives Have Been Waiting For."[16]
For the week of June 9, 2014, MSNBC placed 26th in primetime and 30th in total day, averaging 597,000 viewers and 336,000 viewers, respectively.[17]

MSNBC was established by NBC executive Tom Rogers. Rogers was instrumental in developing the strategic partnership with Microsoft, which invested $221 million for a 50% share of the cable channel.[18] MSNBC and Microsoft would share the cost of a $200 million newsroom in Secaucus, New Jersey, for msnbc.com. The network took over the channel space of NBC's 18-month-old America's Talking network, though in most cases cable carriage had to be negotiated with providers who never carried AT.
Early history[edit]
MSNBC was launched on July 15, 1996. The first show, which was anchored by Jodi Applegate, broadcast a lineup of news, interviews, and opinions.[19] During the day, rolling news coverage continued with The Contributors, a show that featured Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham, as well as interactive programming coordinated by Applegate, John Gibson and John Seigenthaler. Stories were generally longer and more detailed than the stories running on CNN at the time. NBC also highlighted their broadcast connections by airing stories direct from the NBC network affiliates, along with breaking news coverage from the same sources.[20]
Gradually, MSNBC began to put more emphasis on politics.[21] The Project for Excellence in Journalism found in 2007 after a seven-year survey of cable channels that "MSNBC is moving to make politics a brand, with a large dose of opinion and personality."[22] In January 2001, Mike Barnicle got a show on MSNBC, but it was canceled in June 2001 due to high production costs.[23] In June, in a sign of continuing trouble at MSNBC, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said that he would not have started MSNBC if he knew then what he knows now (referencing the longstanding troubles in increasing viewership).[24] After the September 11, 2001 attacks, MSNBC served as an outlet for NBC News to provide up-to-the-minute coverage, in contrast to broadcast NBC's longer stories. CNBC and CNBC Europe, with little financial news to report, ran MSNBC for many hours of the day following the attacks. The year also boosted the profile of Ashleigh Banfield, who was present during the collapse of Building 7 while covering the World Trade Center on September 11. Her Region In Conflict program capitalized on her newfound celebrity and showcased exclusive interviews from Afghanistan.
On December 23, 2005, it was announced that NBC Universal would acquire an additional 32% share of the television channel from Microsoft, solidifying its control over television operations and allowing NBC to further consolidate MSNBC's backroom operations with NBC News and its other cable properties. msnbc.com (the website was a separate corporate entity from the television channel) would continue to be 50% owned by both NBC and Microsoft, and its operations would be largely unaffected. NBC would have the option, which it exercised, to buy the remaining 18% share of the television from Microsoft after two years. MSNBC, along with other U.S. news networks, had been criticized for having a distorted and biased media coverage of the Iraq War. The network began from 2005 onward to attract liberal and progressive viewers when host Keith Olbermann began critiquing and satirizing conservative media commentators on his program Countdown With Keith Olbermann. Olbermann especially focused his attention to Fox News Channel and its main primetime commentator, Bill O'Reilly.
On June 7, 2006, Rick Kaplan resigned as president of MSNBC, after holding the post for two years.[25] Following the announcement, it was announced on June 12, 2006, that Dan Abrams, a nine-year veteran of MSNBC and NBC News, had been named general manager of MSNBC, effective immediately. NBC News senior vice president Phil Griffin would oversee MSNBC, while also continuing to oversee NBC News' Today, and Abrams would report to Griffin.
On June 29, 2006, Abrams announced a revamp to MSNBC's early-primetime and primetime schedule. On July 10, Tucker (formerly The Situation with Tucker Carlson) started airing at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. ET (taking over Abrams' old timeslot), while Rita Cosby's Live & Direct was taken off the schedule. Cosby was instead given the role of primary anchor for MSNBC Investigates at 10 and 11 p.m. ET, a new program that took over Cosby and Carlson's timeslots. According to the press release, MSNBC Investigates promised to "...complement MSNBC's existing programming by building on [the channel's] library of award winning documentaries."[26] The move to taped programming during 10 and 11 p.m. was likely a result of the success that MSNBC saw with their Friday "experiment" of replacing all primetime programming with taped specials. On September 24, 2007, Abrams announced that he would leave the position of General Manager to focus on his 9:00 p.m. ET talk show, "Live With Dan Abrams". Oversight of MSNBC is now provided by Phil Griffin, a senior vice president at NBC.[27]
MSNBC and NBC News began broadcasting from their new studios at NBC's 30 Rockefeller Center complex in New York City on October 22, 2007.[28] After extensive renovations of the associated studios, NBC essentially merged its entire news operation into one building, and all MSNBC broadcasts, as well as NBC Nightly News, originate from the new studios. More than 12.5 hours of live television across the NBC News family originate from the New York studios daily. MSNBC is also expected to expand West Coast operations, as the channel recently[when?] announced new studios near the Universal Studios lot, which will assemble all NBC West Coast news operations in one building. MSNBC's master control did not make the move to 30 Rock. It remained in the old Secaucus headquarters until it completed its move to the NBC Universal Network Origination Center located inside the CNBC Global Headquarters building in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, on December 21, 2007. Shortly thereafter, Major League Baseball firmed up a long-term lease of the former MSNBC building to become the home studios of MLB Network, which launched from the facility on January 1, 2009.
Changes since 2008[edit]
From mid-2007 to mid-2008, MSNBC received a large increase in its ratings.[29] Primetime viewings increased by 61% over that time.[29] In May 2008, NBC News president Steve Capus said that "It used to be people didn't have to worry about MSNBC because it was an also-ran cable channel.... That's not the case anymore."[29] Tim Russert's sudden death in June 2008 removed what The Wall Street Journal called the "rudder for the network" and led to a period of transition.[30]
During the 2008 Presidential election, MSNBC's coverage was anchored by Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and David Gregory. The three were widely viewed as the face of the channel's political coverage.[30] During the first three months of the presidential campaign, MSNBC's ratings grew by 158 percent.[31] However, during the election coverage, anchors Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews were criticized for expressing left-leaning viewpoints on the channel, and both of them were later removed from the position of anchor.[32] Audience viewership during the 2008 Presidential election more than doubled from the 2004 Presidential election, and the channel topped CNN in ratings for the first time during the last three months of the campaign in the key 25-54 age demographic.[33][34]
In September 2008, the channel hired political analyst and Air America Radio personality Rachel Maddow to host a new political opinion program called The Rachel Maddow Show. The move to create a new program for the channel was widely seen as a smart ratings move, where beforehand, MSNBC lagged behind in coveted primetime ratings.[35] The show regularly outperformed CNN's Larry King Live, and made the channel competitive in the program's time slot for the first time in over a decade.[36][37]
In the first quarter of 2010, MSNBC beat CNN in primetime and overall ratings, marking the first time doing so since 2001.[38] The channel also beat CNN in total adult viewers in March, marking the seventh out of the past eight months that MSNBC achieved that result.[38] In addition, the programs Morning Joe, The Ed Show, Hardball with Chris Matthews, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and The Rachel Maddow Show all finished ahead of their time slot competitors on CNN.[38]
In the third quarter of 2010, MSNBC continued its solid lead over CNN, beating the network in total day for the first time since 2Q 2001 in the key adult demographic.[39] The network also beat CNN for the fourth consecutive quarter, among both primetime and total viewers, as well as becoming the only cable news network to have its key adult demographic viewership grow over the last quarter, increasing by 4%. During this time, MSNBC also became the number-one cable news network in primetime among both African American and Hispanic viewers.[39]
On October 11, 2010, MSNBC unveiled a new televised advertising campaign and slogan called "Lean Forward". "We've taken on CNN and we beat them," MSNBC president Phil Griffin told employees at a series of celebratory "town hall" meetings. "Now it's time to take on Fox." Concerning the campaign, Griffin said, "It is active, it is positive, it is about making tomorrow better than today, a discussion about politics and the actions and passions of our time."[40] The new campaign embraces the network's politically progressive identity.[41] The two-year advertising campaign would cost $2 million and consist of internet, television, and print advertising.[40] The new positioning has created brand image issues for msnbc.com, the umbrella website for the television network. A New York Times article quotes Charlie Tillinghast, president of msnbc.com, a separate company, as saying, "Both strategies are fine, but naming them the same thing is brand insanity."[42] As a result, msnbc.com eventually changed its name to prevent confusion with the television network, MSNBC;[42] it rebranded the more news-driven msnbc.com as NBCNews.com in July 2012.[43]
On January 21, 2011, Keith Olbermann announced his departure from MSNBC and the episode would be the final episode of Countdown.[44][45] His departure received much media attention.[46][47][48] MSNBC issued a statement that it had ended its contract with Olbermann, with no further explanation. Olbermann later revealed that he had taken his show to Current TV.[49]
Carriage issues[edit]
Prior to 2010, MSNBC was not available to Verizon FiOS and AT&T U-verse television subscribers in portions of New York, northern New Jersey, and Connecticut that overlapped Cablevision's service area. One of several reasons for this lack of availability was an exclusive carriage agreement between MSNBC and Cablevision which prohibited competing wired providers from carrying MSNBC.[50] The terms of the agreement were not publicly known.
In 2009, Verizon petitioned the FCC with a formal "program-access complaint" to terminate the deal. Connecticut attorney general Richard Blumenthal also argued that the arrangement could be illegal.[51] After reaching a new contract, FiOS added the channel in New York City and in New Jersey on February 2, 2010.[52]
High definition[edit]
The 1080i high-definition (HD) simulcast of MSNBC launched on June 29, 2009. The standard-definition (SD) feed of the network began to carry the full 16:9 screen downgraded from the HD feed in letterboxed mode in May 2013. Prior to then, the feed was center-cut to fill the 4:3 picture. While the SD feed is letterboxed, most graphical elements (including logos, the live bug and lower thirds) remain in the 4:3 safe area. MSNBC was the last major cable news network to adopt this practice, as Fox News Channel began letterboxing its standard-definition feed in September 2009, with CNN following suit on January 10, 2011.
Between 2006 and 2009, MSNBC used a graphics package with an angular motif.
On June 29, 2009, MSNBC officially launched a new graphic scheme co-created by Adam Gault Studios and Carlo Vega, whereby a newly redesigned MSNBC logo, current program title, time, stock market index numbers and (when necessary) "live" bug were moved to the top of the screen, leaving the lower thirds to be used by the news ticker, story title and short summary, the last of which is replaced frequently by the name of the guest or correspondent currently being shown.
For a short time in 2009 from the debut, daytime programs shown on MSNBC HD included a widget on the right side of the screen which served as a secondary news ticker displaying the weather and news headlines as well as a blue bar which showed more stocks and business news graphics, but both features were eventually dropped in favor of full video encompassing both sides of the screen; the widget reflected a similar widget which appears on CNBC HD for the display of a stocks graph chart (and which has been retained to the present day). The news ticker only appears during news bulletins and rolling-news broadcasts, and is removed from the screen during opinion shows and documentaries. Some programs, such as The Ed Show, and Now with Alex Wagner remove the ticker in favor of a "tweet ticker", showing comments being made about the subject at hand by users of the social networking site, Twitter.
International broadcasts[edit]
MSNBC is shown only in the United States, Canada, South Africa, Kenya, parts of Latin America, and parts of Northern Africa (see below).
MSNBC Canada[edit]
In 2001, a Canadian version with some local content, MSNBC Canada, was developed; the channel launched on September 7, 2001. However, it was soon discontinued in 2004, and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission authorized the American version to be carried on Canadian cable and satellite providers. The channel was operated by Rogers Communications and co-owned by Rogers, Shaw and MSNBC, with each party owning a 33.33% voting interest in the service.
Programming included MSNBC programs as well as repeats of shows from the CBC and Cable Public Affairs Channel, as its way to fulfil its Canadian content requirements. The channel also ran infomercials, which the American service never shows.
MSNBC Africa[edit]
In Southern Africa, MSNBC is distributed free-to-air on satellite on Free2View TV as MSNBC Africa, a joint venture between Great Media Limited and MSNBC. Free2View airs MSNBC's programming from 4 p.m. to midnight ET in a block that repeats twice (live for the first airing), with local Weather Channel forecasts.[53] Botswana's national television broadcaster, BTV, also provides an un-edited broadcast of MSNBC (including advertisements) after their scheduled programming each evening. BTV is available within Botswana, as well as to Southern Africa viewers on DStv. TopTV, a satellite TV service in South Africa, also provides an unedited broadcast of MSNBC (including advertisements), which runs 24 hours a day. It is also available in Kenya through the cable service Zuku.
Europe and Asia[edit]
In Asia and Europe, MSNBC is not shown on a dedicated channel. When MSNBC started in 1996, they announced plans to start broadcasting in Europe during 1997. This never happened; however, MSNBC programming is shown for a few hours a day on the 24-hour news network OSN News in Europe and the Middle East. OSN News is a network of three 24-hour satellite and cable channels offering exclusively American news programming from ABC, NBC, PBS and MSNBC to U.S. expatriates and other viewers abroad, primarily geared towards an audience in the Arab countries.
NBC Nightly News is shown on CNBC Europe at 00:30 CET.[54] During breaking news events, MSNBC is also shown occasionally on affiliate channel CNBC Europe.[55]
In Turkey, NTV-MSNBC is the news channel of the Turkish broadcaster NTV Turkey. The channel is a joint partnership between the two, although very little Turkish content makes its way onto English MSNBC. English content on MSNBC is translated to Turkish.[56]
Launched concurrently with MSNBC was its website, MSNBC.com; unlike the network itself, MSNBC.com was operated as the general online news outlet of NBC News as a part of Microsoft's MSN.com portal. The network and website also remained editorially separate; it did not adopt the network's increasingly liberal viewpoints (which itself was a cause for concern from NBC News staff, due to concerns that readers would think otherwise), and remained a joint venture with Microsoft even after it sold its stake in the MSNBC channel.[57]
In July 2012, NBC acquired Microsoft's remaining stake in MSNBC.com, and re-branded it as NBCNews.com. After being redirected to the new name for a period, MSNBC.com was re-launched in 2013 as a website for the network itself, focusing on content such as opinion columns from hosts, correspondents and guests, and both live and on-demand videos from MSNBC programs.[43][58]
In July 2014, MSNBC.com launched msnbc2, a brand for several web-only series hosted by MSNBC personalities,[59] in December 2014, msnbc2 was renamed shift, with a programming schedule which is less focused on politics and is more tailored to a younger audience.[60]
The channel launched on XM Satellite Radio channel 120 and Sirius Satellite Radio channel 90 on April 12, 2010.[3] This is the second time MSNBC has been available on satellite radio; the channel has been carried on XM before, but was subsequently dropped from the service on September 4, 2006.[61]
Criticism and controversy[edit]
Liberal bias[edit]
Commentators have described MSNBC as having a bias towards left-leaning politics and the Democratic Party. In November 2007, a New York Times article stated that MSNBC's prime-time lineup is tilting more to the left.[8] Washington Post media analyst Howard Kurtz has stated that the channel's evening lineup "has clearly gravitated to the left in recent years and often seems to regard itself as the antithesis of Fox News"[29] (in reference to a number of journalists and political pundits considering Fox News to have a conservative bias in some programs). In 2011, Salon.com noted that "MSNBC's prime-time lineup is now awash in progressive politics."[62] That same year, Politico referred to MSNBC as "left-leaning."[63] In reference to changes in the channel's evening programming, senior vice president of NBC News Phil Griffin has said that "it happened naturally. There isn't a dogma we're putting through. There is a 'Go for it.'"[8]
In the February 2008 issue of Men's Journal magazine, a MSNBC interviewee quoted a senior executive who said that liberal commentator Keith Olbermann "runs MSNBC" and that "because of his success, he's in charge" of the channel.[64] In 2007, The New York Times called Olbermann MSNBC's "most recognizable face".[8] In September 2008, MSNBC stated that they were removing both Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews as live political event anchors, and replacing them with David Gregory, due to growing criticism that they were "too opinionated to be seen as neutral in the heat of the presidential campaign."[9][10] Olbermann continued to broadcast Countdown both before and after the presidential and vice presidential debates, and both Matthews and Olbermann joined Gregory on the channel's election night coverage.
On November 13, 2009, in the days leading up to the release of 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's book Going Rogue, MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan used photoshopped pictures of Palin on the channel's Morning Meeting program. Ratigan apologized a few days later.[65]
In October 2010, MSNBC began using the tagline "Lean Forward", which was described by some media outlets, including msnbc.com, as the network embracing its politically progressive identity.[41][66][67][68]
In January 2012, MSNBC used Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and other network commentators during coverage of the 2012 Iowa Republican caucuses, a move seen by Nando Di Fino of the Mediaite website as "giving up on the straight news coverage, and instead [appearing] to be aiming to create some controversy."[69]
In November 2012, MSNBC was called "The Anti-Fox" by The New York Times in a feature article that quoted former President Bill Clinton as saying, "Boy, it really has become our [liberal] version of Fox.""[70] The article, citing data by the Nielsen TV ratings service, noted that while Fox News pulled in a larger overall viewership than MSNBC, the two networks drew nearly even (~300,000 vs. ~200,000) among the 25-54 age bracket most attractive to advertisers.
In the Pew Research Center's 2013 "State of the News Media" report, MSNBC was found to be the most opinionated news network, with 85% of the content being commentary or opinions, and only 15% of the content being factual reporting. The report also stated that MSNBC spends the least amount of money producing its news, only $240 million in 2012, compared to CNN, which spent $682 million, and Fox, which spent $820 million.[71]
Pro-Obama bias[edit]
Some Democratic Party supporters, most notably former Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania Ed Rendell and Clinton advisor Lanny Davis,[72] criticized MSNBC during and after the 2008 Democratic primaries, as covering Barack Obama more favorably than Hillary Clinton. Rendell said, "MSNBC was the official network of the Obama campaign," and called their coverage "absolutely embarrassing".[73][74] Rendell later became an on-air contributor to MSNBC.[75]
A study done by the Project for Excellence in Journalism showed that MSNBC had less negative coverage of Obama (14% of stories vs. 29% in the press overall) and more negative stories about Republican presidential candidate John McCain (73% of its coverage vs. 57% in the press overall).[76] MSNBC's on-air slogan during the week of the 2008 presidential election, "The Power of Change", was criticized as being overtly similar to Obama's campaign slogan of "Hope and Change".[77] Following the 2008 presidential election, conservative talk show host John Ziegler worked on a documentary titled Media Malpractice.... How Obama Got Elected, which was very critical of the media, especially MSNBC's role, in the 2008 presidential election. While promoting the documentary, he engaged in an on-air dispute with MSNBC news anchor Contessa Brewer, on how the media, especially MSNBC, had portrayed Sarah Palin.[78]
During MSNBC's coverage of the Potomac primary, MSNBC's Chris Matthews said, "I have to tell you, you know, it's part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama's speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often." This led Fox News to assert that both he and MSNBC were biased toward Obama.[79]
Phil Donahue dismissal[edit]
Phil Donahue's 2002 program Donahue was canceled in late February 2003 during the buildup to the Iraq War. Despite earlier claims of cancellation because of low ratings,[81] Donahue was MSNBC's highest rated show that month.[80]
A leaked NBC internal study revealed that the studio was concerned that Donahue would act as "a home for the liberal antiwar agenda at the same time that our competitors are waving the flag at every opportunity."[80]
Rise of the New Right documentary[edit]
In June 2010, a documentary airing on MSNBC and hosted by Chris Matthews called Rise of the New Right drew significant criticism from some conservatives and the Tea Party movement. The documentary features interviews with Dick Armey, the former House Majority Leader, Orly Taitz, a leading figure in the "birther" movement, and radio host Alex Jones. The documentary also showed the Michigan Militia's survival training camp and hit the campaign trail with Kentucky Senatorial candidate Rand Paul.[82]
After the documentary aired, FreedomWorks, chaired by Armey, issued a letter calling for a boycott of Dawn and Procter & Gamble, which advertise during Hardball with Chris Matthews.[83][84] The boycott was ineffective; Procter & Gamble continued to advertise with the show.
Romney coverage during 2012 election[edit]
A study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism found that MSNBC's coverage of Mitt Romney during the final week of the 2012 presidential campaign (68% negative with no positive stories in the sample), was far more negative than the overall press, and even more negative than it had been during October 1 to 28, when 5% was positive and 57% was negative.[85] On the other hand, their coverage of Barack Obama improved in the final week before the presidential election. From October 1 to 28, 33% of stories were positive and 13% negative. During the campaign's final week, 51% of MSNBC's stories were positive while there were no negative stories at all about Obama in the sample.
Coverage of financial issues[edit]
In his book Medium Blue: The Politics of MSNBC, Michael Arria wrote that the issue is not so much left wing or right wing as MSNBC and other media serving their own financial interests. Arria said that an example of ignoring news that threatens its own financial interests was that MSNBC was silent about the proposed Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger.[86]
Romney family grandchild[edit]
Political commentator Melissa Harris-Perry and her guest panel, in a look back on 2013 segment on her show, featured a picture of former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his extended family. Mr. Romney was holding on his knee his adopted grandchild, Kieran Romney, an African-American. Harris-Perry and her guests, including actress Pia Glenn and comedian Dean Obeidallah, joked about coming up with captions for the photo. Glenn sang out, "One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn't the same." Obeidallah said, "It sums up the diversity of the Republican Party and the [Republican National Committee], where they have the whole convention and they find the one black person." Afterwards, Harris-Perry issued an apology in a series of Tweets.[87][88]
Suspensions of hosts[edit]
Michael Savage[edit]
During the spring and early summer of 2003, MSNBC featured a weekend talk show hosted by conservative radio host Michael Savage. In July of that year, Savage responded to a prank caller on his show by calling him a "pig" and a "sodomite", and telling him he "should get AIDS and die." Savage's show was canceled and Savage was fired from the channel shortly afterward (with some reports placing the termination immediately after the episode in question ended).[89]
Don Imus[edit]
In early April 2007, Don Imus, whose radio show Imus in the Morning was simulcast on MSNBC for over ten years, described members of the Rutgers University women's basketball team as "some nappy-headed hoes." The comments sparked outrage, as many considered them to be racist and sexist. After sponsors began to withdraw advertisements from the show, MSNBC canceled the simulcast. Imus, as well as NBC News, apologized to the Rutgers Basketball team for the remarks.[90] The television simulcast of Don Imus' program later moved to RFD-TV and now airs on the Fox Business Network.
Keith Olbermann[edit]
On November 5, 2010, MSNBC President Phil Griffin suspended Olbermann indefinitely without pay for contributing $2,400 (the maximum personal donation limit) to each of three Democratic candidates during the 2010 midterm election cycle.[91] Contributions to political campaigns, under NBC News policy, are not allowed without prior permission. On November 7, 2010, Olbermann posted a thank you message to supporters via Twitter.[92] That same day, MSNBC announced that he would be back on the air starting on November 9.[93]
Two weeks later, Griffin announced the suspension of Joe Scarborough for the same offense, as the Morning Joe host had donated $4,000 to Republican candidates in Florida. Like Olbermann's suspension, Scarborough's suspension was brief, and he returned to the airwaves on November 24.[94] On January 21, 2011, MSNBC announced that Olbermann would host his final show that same night.
Martin Bashir[edit]
Host Martin Bashir resigned after making a controversial comment about Sarah Palin.[95] On November 15, 2013, Bashir criticized Sarah Palin for comments that she made comparing the Federal debt to slavery.[96] Bashir attempted to counter Palin's comparison by referencing the cruel and barbaric punishment of slaves described by slave overseer Thomas Thistlewood, specifically a punishment called "Derby's dose" which involved forcing slaves to defecate or urinate into the mouth of another slave as punishment. Bashir then concluded by saying "When Mrs. Palin invokes slavery, she doesn't just prove her rank ignorance. She confirms if anyone truly qualified for a dose of discipline from Thomas Thistlewood, she would be the outstanding candidate."[97][98]
Alec Baldwin[edit]
Alec Baldwin's show Up Late with Alec Baldwin was suspended due to a homophobic slur Baldwin made to a photographer in New York City.[99]

Destination Vietnam
About Vietnam
Travel to Asia has become of great appeal to the global market in recent times. No longer is Asia considered only for the hardy. A natural flow of travellers to the countries of Indochina. With several very important milestones in the last few years - such as lifting of embargoes, government reforms and the opening of borders - Vietnam is positioned to become a popular tourist destination.
It is a little known fact that Vietnam can cater to a large variety of clients - not just those looking to "rough it on the last frontier". From it's natural assets; pristine sandy beaches, the wonder of limestone islands in Halong Bay, the mountainous north, to its historical marvels; Cham ruins from the 14th Century in My Son, the ancient tombs of Hue; bustling cities with an energy driven by a new economy, quiet country villages reliant on rice agriculture as they have been for centuries, ornate Confucian temples, high-rises side by side with splendid French colonial architecture; Vietnam is a country of contrasts. And contrast means a greater variety of travel experiences that satisfy a great number of client markets.
It is also largely assumed that infrastructure within Vietnam is poor. Whilst we won't deny that Vietnam is a third world country, one should not be led to believe that this means third world service! An enormous amount of investment in Vietnam has led to the development of top class hotels, of training schools, of new restaurants, of upgrading and renovating.
And on the subject of service, remember most importantly that Vietnam is Asia - where service is delivered with pride. The Vietnamese people have strong beliefs and values. They are a pragmatic people, with a philosophy to move forward, not to dwell on the past, and a determination to improve the lives of their children. Most of all they are warm and welcoming, and proud to show you their homeland.
For an experience as unique as your clients, look to a destination as unique as Vietnam.

The Best Design Decision Apple Made in Swift
Apple announced the Swift programming language during this morning's WWDC. It was lots of fun to read through the five hundred page documentation on iBooks. I am very impressed with how elegantly Apple incorporated functional programming concepts and am very excited about what mainstream adoption of Swift will mean for functional programming.
There is a lot to like about Swift, but my favorite is that only variables explicitly marked as nillable can be assigned a null value. Normal variables cannot be null and accesses to nillable variables have to explicitly unwrap the nil value with a ! or chained with ?.
"nil cannot be used with non-optional constants and variables. If a constant or variable in your code needs to be able to cope with the absence of a value under certain conditions, always declare it as an optional value of the appropriate type."
Swift will be the first...

If there is one city in the world that represents all the hope, change, ideology and character of Barack Obama, it is his adopted home of Chicagoland. Where other than Chicagoland can a lazy, pot-head, communist, racist, beneficiary of Affirmative Action rise to be the most respected position in the city…..a Community Organizer?
It's no small accomplishment to become a Community Organizer in Chicagoland. With all the Minister X's and Rhyming Reverends on every corner being held down by 'the man,' it takes some real talent…and connections…to rise to the highly-esteemed level of Community Organizer. But that is exactly what Obama did. But he didn't do it alone. It takes a community to raise a Community Organizer! Obama had the help of local racists, communists, mobsters, terrorists, and assorted enemies to America to help him on his way. You know, Chicagoland's finest!
Chicagoland led America in 2012 with 532 murders! That's some accomplishment in a city where guns are illegal. But it's the Chicagoland spirit that Obama loves that allows all those 'urban yoots' to rob, rape and kill anything and everything in sight! I'm pleased to report that Chicago is currently ahead of it's 2012 pace. Only 13 days into the new year, Chicagoland is setting a blistering pace with 22 murders! With that spectacular performance, Chicagoland will be the envy of the Muslim world. Again. Chicagoland is hopeful to set a new record for murders in 2013. Chicagoland has called out it's arch-rival for murders, Karachi, Pakistan for the title of Murder Capital of the World! Here's pulling for you, Chicagoland! You can do it! Da Murderzzzzz!
With the world watching Chicagoland, the city is considering changing its name to honor the man whose beliefs are written all over the graveyards in that city. Chicago is considering becomeing Barackistan. What a tribute to the man who has done so much to make Chicagoland what it is!

Barackastain would be more appropriate.+9
Poonces, hah! You are correct, sir.+1
The picture of Obama in the black cowboy hat is now officially the second gayest picture of Obama.+1
Jebus. I got radiation burns from all the gaydar that skinny, simpering L'il Barry is putting off. He makes Liberace, Charles Nelson Reilly, Paul Lynde and Rip Taylor look like models for testosterone ads.+2
A commenter at AWD's site recommended listening to Radio Reference / Chicago police and fire (it's live) so I did. It's now 9:28a. PDT, 11:28 a. in Chicago, and I heard two police calls within 5 minutes of listening, related to gun crimes. One was an attempted robbery and the other was someone having a gun pointed at them for some reason or another. The Chicago tee vee news clip at AWD about the 500th murder added another shocking piece of info: 500 murders — not one (as in zero) suspects. Why do Chicagoans put up with THAT!? Give 'em the guns and let them do their own police work. The other interesting, albeit predictable, data point is that the people in these Chicago neighborhoods are always afraid and hole up in their houses when they aren't at work. Someone should ask them how all those do-gooder laws made by Marxist pols are helping them and their families live happy, fulfilled lives.+2
bitterclinger, I know that's right! That photo was probably taken in the midst of Barry's "Man's Country" phase. I could totally see that hopping into the back of a limo with Larry Sinclair.+3
I wonder how many gay trysts he organized back in the day?0
It's the resistance from Republicans that cause all these murders in Chicago. See, Chicago has a direct relation of murders to temperature. The higher the temperature, the more murders. It's a well documented fact. If the Republicans would simply get on board with global warming, this would instantly reduce the number of Chicagoland murders. And you thought they were low information voters.
*yes, my eyes are rolling*+1
As a resident of the real Illinois – southern Illinois, I don't care what they call the cesspool by Lake Michigan, I just wish they would form their own state and let the rest of us have our state back. Right now we're out of luck, there are more stupid and dead people in Chicago than people in the rest of the state.+1
Barackastain rulers……
King Obumfck and Queen Emman-anal+2
Holy shit, at that pace it's 617 murders a year. Wait till they start killing tourists.0

Launching this month is Nike's latest Tier Zero (their most exclusive styles and colour-ways) range, The What The Max collection.
The new collection features three classics from the Air Max range, all with the introduction of the innovative Hyperfuse technology. The Air Max 90, 95, 2012 all come in a bold neon colour pallet highlighting the Hyperfuse technique and are all sexy as fook.
These will shift at one hell of a pace so keep your eyes fixed on Hanon, End, Ran, Crooked Tongues and Urban Industry this month.
The Story Behind The Radness
How did Nike go from selling kicks out of the boot of a car to being the Billy Big Bollocks of sportswear? Innovation, bitches.
If, when Nike released their Hyperfuse technology last year it passed you by you could be forgiven. The technology unleashed by the global trainer gods came and went with relatively little fanfare within mainstream culture but don't let this fool you, this is a game changer of massive proportions.
The technique (which is probably the biggest thing to happen to trainers since Nike invented the air bubble) came about when Nike designer Shane Kohatsu took a visit to the hardwearing outdoor basketball courts of China where lads were playing in everything from light yet unsupportive running creps to strong but heavy hiking boots. The goal was to encompass all this in one beautiful hybrid trainer.
Shane found that the most durable materials don't breathe and the most breathable materials don't last. Over two years he experimented with different materials, heat and pressure and finally he found a way to fuse materials together, making a crazy-ass composite and dubbed it Hyperfuse.
At this point the leading innovator for Nike Sportswear, Ben Shaffer, sticks his oar in and makes a few happy accidents. He discovered that the material kept a level of translucency, so you could see the colours layered below, and like any genius, he ran with this to make up an Air Max 90 and quite literally blew everyone's mind.
All this basically translates into a trainer that's pretty-as-fuck, super-light weight, seriously hard-wearing and more mind blowing than all of the above, it has absolutely no stiches.

USS Maumee, an 593-ton screw steam gunboat of the Kansas group, was built at the New York Navy Yard. She commissioned in September 1864 and cruised in search for the Confederate cruiser Tallahassee during October and November. The gunboat participated in the two attacks on Fort Fisher, North Carolina, in December 1864 and January 1865, that ultimately stopped blockade running in that area. From February 1864 until the end of the Civil War, Maumee took part in operations on the Cape Fear River, N.C., and the James River, Virginia. She decommissioned in June 1865 and was sold in December 1869.

Members of the 4th Fighter Wing will pay homage to World War II history at the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, NC, Monday, April 16th by launching 70 F-15E Strike Eagles in a training mission to destroy more than 1,000 targets on bombing ranges across North Carolina. They do so to commemorate a pivotal day in history.
During World War II on April 16, 1945, the 4th Fighter Group destroyed 105 enemy aircraft as part of an 8th Air Force mission involving 1,252 bombers and 913 fighters. This mission catapulted the 4th Fighter Group to 1,016 enemy aircraft destroyed, more than any group or wing in U.S. Air Force history.
On the same day, nearly 70 years later, the 4th Fighter Wing will launch 70 aircraft to achieve this same objective, officials said. In 1945, it took thousands of aircraft to destroy 1,016 targets; the 4th Fighter Wing will achieve the same goal in 2012 with only 70 F-15Es. Col. Patrick Doherty, the 4th Fighter Wing commander, will lead the launch.
The 4th Fighter Wing is home to four fighter squadrons, three of which were part of the original Eagle squadrons, American volunteers who flew as part of the Royal Air Force in the early days of the war.
"We proudly carry on the legacy of the 4th Fighter Group's victory today with the F-15E Strike Eagle," Doherty said. "Even though today's fight is different, the dedication of our Airmen has not wavered, and we are still 'Fourth but First.'" [ANN Thanks the 4th Fighter Wing Public Affairs for the story -- and wishes the 4thFW "Happy Hunting!"]

Standardization gone amok: LEGO Ferrari F2008 F1 car
by Frank Filipponio (RSS feed) on Oct 29th, 2008 at 5:02PM
Perhaps this is Ferrari's answer to the FIA's threat to move to standardized engines: standardized building blocks! What could be more fair than to have every team start out with their own huge package of LEGOs? The drivetrain could remain unique or might even be a LEGO V8, but each team would get a color-specific mega-pack of blocks to build their own bodywork. All parts must be used, but how you place them is up to you. The resulting cars would have the aerodynamics of a brick so maybe safety would improve as speeds were reduced. Drivers would also have to slow considerably into turns, as... Read More

A court in the United Arab Emirates has found guilty and sentenced an American man to one year in prison for creating a parody video about Dubai youth, a UAE paper and family spokeswoman said.
The gulf country's State Security Court issued sentences to Shezanne Cassim and seven other defendants on Monday, according to Abu Dhabi-based newspaper, The National.
The paper only mentioned the American by his initials and said he also faces a $2,725 fine and will be deported after his sentence is served.
National security issue
Cassim's co-defendants were not named, but will serve between eight months and one year.
A spokeswoman for Cassim's family, Jennifer Gore, confirmed the guilty verdict and sentence but had no other details.
Cassim was charged with endangering the UAE's national security under a federal cyber crimes law.
The video he created shows Dubai teens wearing hip-hop clothes and listening to rap music.
Cassim was in police custody for eight months before receiving his sentence.
