Norman Solomon wrote the nationally syndicated "Media Beat" weekly column from 1992 to 2009.His latest book is "Made Love, Got War: Close Encounters with America's Warfare State."
Solomon's book "War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death" was published in 2005. The Los Angeles Times called the book "brutally persuasive" and "a must-read for those who would like greater context with their bitter morning coffee, or to arm themselves for the debates about Iraq that are still to come." The newspaper's reviewer added: "Solomon is a formidable thinker and activist." The Humanist magazine described the book as "a definitive historical text" and "an indispensable record of the real relationships among government authorities and media outlets."
A documentary based on the book was released in 2007.
Solomon is the founding director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, a national consortium of policy researchers and analysts. He was IPA's executive director from 1997 to 2010.
His book "Target Iraq: What the News Media Didn't Tell You" (co-authored with foreign correspondent Reese Erlich) was published in 2003 by Context Books. "Target Iraq" has also been published in German, Italian, Hungarian, Brazilian and South Korean editions.
A collection of Solomon's columns won the George Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution to Honesty and Clarity in Public Language. The award, presented by the National Council of Teachers of English, honored Solomon's book "The Habits of Highly Deceptive Media."
In the introduction to that book, Jonathan Kozol wrote: "The tradition of Upton Sinclair, Lincoln Steffens, and I.F. Stone does not get much attention these days in the mainstream press ... but that tradition is alive and well in this collection of courageously irreverent columns on the media by Norman Solomon. ... He fights the good fight without fear of consequence. He courts no favors. He writes responsibly and is meticulous on details, but he does not choke on false civility."
[Click for more comments about Norman Solomon.]
Solomon's books include "Target Iraq," "Wizards of Media Oz: Behind the Curtain of Mainstream News," "The Trouble With Dilbert: How Corporate Culture Gets the Last Laugh," "False Hope: The Politics of Illusion in the Clinton Era," "The Power of Babble: The Politician's Dictionary of Buzzwords and Doubletalk for Every Occasion," and "Killing Our Own: The Disaster of America's Experience With Atomic Radiation."
Solomon has appeared as a guest on many media outlets including the PBS "NewsHour With Jim Lehrer," CNN, MSNBC, Fox News Channel, C-SPAN, public radio's "Marketplace," and NPR's "All Things Considered," "Morning Edition" and "Talk of the Nation."
In the months leading up to the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, Norman Solomon appeared on CNN a dozen times as an in-studio guest. In addition, he was a guest on MSNBC and Fox News Channel, and appeared on live broadcasts of C-SPAN's "Washington Journal." He voiced commentary that aired on the nationwide public radio program "Marketplace." In addition, Solomon appeared on such international outlets as the BBC Radio World Service, CBC Radio, CBC Television, Voice of America, Al-Jazeera Television, Australia's ABC television and radio, and SBS radio networks. He also appeared on radio outlets in Ireland and South Africa.
Solomon's op-ed articles have appeared in a range of newspapers including the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Newsday, New York Times, Boston Globe, Miami Herald, USA Today, Philadelphia Inquirer and Baltimore Sun. His articles have also appeared in the International Herald Tribune, Canada's Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star and the Jordan Times.
In 1997 Solomon co-authored "Wizards of Media Oz: Behind the Curtain of Mainstream News." A review in the Nation magazine said: "One of the great values of this book is that it demolishes the myth that liberalism dominates the media. ... This nifty, easily digestible compendium ought to be used in high school and college courses to help the young learn how to be discriminating news consumers."
Solomon co-wrote "Unreliable Sources: A Guide to Detecting Bias in News Media," published in 1990. A review in the Washington Post concluded that the book "makes a worthy addition to the library of any student of American news media, social structure and political science." Kirkus Reviews said that the book provides "an extensive record of recent media distortions." Publishers Weekly said that Solomon and co-author Martin A. Lee "make a compelling case for the contention that newsmen and women distort current events." The San Francisco Chronicle reviewer wrote: "Their command of information is matched by committed, eloquent writing that plumbs the psychological and political complexities of mass-mediated experience." Utne Reader called the book "an essential text." USA Today columnist Barbara Reynolds described it as "a thinking person's book."
Solomon's 1995 book "Through the Media Looking Glass" (co-authored with Jeff Cohen) drew praise from Booklist, which called it "a lively counterpoint to the dominant conservative critique of the 'liberal' media." A review in the Los Angeles Times declared: "The bold, muckraking tone of these columns offers a welcome respite from the decerebrated discourse that too often passes for contemporary journalism."
His journalistic experience includes many years of free-lance writing for Pacific News Service and other media outlets, and several reporting visits to the Soviet Union during the mid-1980s. He is a former associate of the Center for Investigative Reporting.
Norman Solomon is a longtime associate of the media watch group FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting).

How payday loan lenders work
Do you understand how payday loans work? We explain the process and their benefits.
We charge £29 per £100 borrowed for new payday loans. Learn more about our charges.
Do you understand how payday loans work? We explain the process and their benefits.
Expenses of seemingly endless varieties are a part or everyday life which, let's face it, are something each and every one of us would rather do without. That being said, most expenses can be planned and budget for at least to a certain degree, leaving little reason as to why they should bring along any significant drama. However, it is those that seem to crop up out of nowhere at the worst possible juncture that have the power to really put a crimp on a person's day, week, month or even year. It is common knowledge these days just how much damage a missed bill or slightly overdrawn bank account can inflict, not only by way of extortionate fees and charges, but also lasting credit which, as we know, seems to exist as the be all and end all for most financiers across the board. Indeed, a minor monetary safety-net to cushion the impact of such scenarios would likely be welcomed by most with open arms.
Payday loans, also knows as instant cash advance and a number of other handles, have been devised and introduced to offer exactly such a safety-net. Thanks to such services, the vast majority of average consumers are never more than a moment or two away from the cash required to smooth out the odd bump in the road, whenever and wherever they may occur. Such reassurance alone is worth its weight in gold, though when combined with the forward-thinking service and accessibility offered by the payday lender, it quickly becomes apparent why millions the world over take advantage of such facilities each an every day.
The payday industry is founded on simplicity and transparency, which is clearly evident from the word go. Application entails little more than ticking the right boxes presented in a short online form, with the decision regarding acceptance being returned instantly. Once approves, the cash can be in your account within minutes, which means that an unexpected bill landing on the doormat during breakfast has the real potential to be paid and out of mind before lunch.
With regard to acceptance, so long as you meet all of the basic requirements such as age, residency and employment you are practically guaranteed approval. Credit checks are not required by the payday lenders; therefore even applicants with credit scores damaged beyond recognition are equally entitled to assistance. All that matters is your ability to pay back the loan upon your next payday, by way of a single installment for the total balancing owing...simplicity defined.
It would be impossible to expect any person to lead a normal, active life without occasionally encountering a minor financial hiccup. Comforting to know therefore that the matter has finally been acknowledge and responded to in a thoroughly useful and realistic way.

Have you thought about my solution posted above? Normally every DSL Provider has Mailservers that can be used as mailrelay from the clients. Why not configure your postfix to send all outgoing email trough this mailserver from your DSL Provider?

Thank you for taking your first step to complete the Leaders in Sustainability Program. In this document we describe program requirements. Then you'll need to complete our online application. For students ready to graduate online forms to petition to certify completion of the program can also be found here.
If you would like to receive announcements about important dates, click here to join our listserv.
Students are encouraged to register for the program early during their graduate studies and participate actively in courses and events throughout their time at UCLA. However, students can enroll for the emphasis at any time during their graduate studies and qualifying courses taken at UCLA can count towards the requirements of the program.
This certificate program is meant to supplement the existing graduate school programs. No separate degree program is proposed, although the program is now a recognized UCLA certificate program, and an official certificate of completion of the emphasis requirements will be provided. The requirements for successful completion of the program are:
All students will demonstrate leadership on a project related to sustainability. Students may work individually or collaborate with other LiS students, ideally from other disciplines and departments. These projects may originate as part of the students' regular graduation requirements. However, the LiS leadership requirement must be something above and beyond already requirements for a student's degree. For example, research alone does not fulfill the requirement, but going a step further and using research to promote policy does. Students must demonstrate the outcomes and impacts of their leadership. The faculty will try to identify suitable projects but teams may also identify their own projects, subject to the Director's approval.
Students who are interested in sustainability but unable to complete all the requirements, for instance due to restrictions from their home departments on the number of out-of-department courses they can take, are welcome to participate in as much of the Leaders in Sustainability program as they can.
Register for the program by filling out our online application.

Veni Verde Vici
I was asked recently - by Daniel Young as it happens - where, in dining terms, I thought London is better than New York and vice versa. When you're discussing New York with one of its experts you don't want to come across as a complete arse so I panicked for a second or two as arsedom is quite possibly my natural state. Well, when I'm not being smug, obviously... But we're not going there again.
Actually, I'd spent a bit of time in the previous weeks trying to draw the parallels and the differences between these two great culinary cities. At the highest level, I think London holds its own. In terms of hole-in-the-wall places and neighbourhood secrets, we're able to hold our own too. If you'll excuse the rather clunky analogy, and the obvious exceptions that will spring to mind, I'd liken South London to the Lower East Side and North London to the Upper West Side. London's problem is the stupid psychological barrier the Thames throws up: if we had rivers on either side - and access to the brilliant Overland line - we'd be zipping about all over the capital. The Thames is a barrier that, frankly, is stopping too many people enjoying the good things in the other half of London.
Anyway, that doesn't really answer Daniel's question. What did - and, happily, in a satisfactory manner - was my recollection of Locanda Verde. Aside from gastropubs of varying quality, London, to my mind, stutters in the mid-range, those places where you could go and sit in charming surroundings, spend under £20 and enjoy a couple of courses and an excellent bottle of wine. That's not to say they don't exist (before you get all commenty on my arse - though suggestions are welcome) but my perception is you have to seek them out. In New York, you can't help but stumble on half a dozen every time you go out.
To some extent, Locanda Verde is the perfect New York restaurant. Looking back on the trip, there were so many highlights - and yes, the Le Bernardin worship will follow soon - but Verde is probably the one I'd like to repeat first and the one I'd recommend to any visitor. Le Bernardin was bloody amazing but then at $325 a head it blooming well should be. Locanda Verde was a fraction of that for four people, with some excellent wine choices, delicious hearty, Italian-influenced fare, an energy and atmosphere that just yell "New York" (all dark woods, white linens, A frame chairs and that distinctive "buzz") and some very happy staff. At the end of the meal, we even discovered that our waiter had got married that morning, was heading off on honeymoon after lunch but didn't want to miss his shift. That's either insane or indicative of extreme pride and a very nice place to work.
Starters come billed as Antipasti and arrive in portions that encourage sharing. Lamb meatball sliders were probably the stand outs (and the ones that encouraged Will to play "Land of the Giants"), although a fine Steak Tartare Piedmontese, mushroom-topped crostino and - yes, I do like vegetables actually - a vibrant beetroot and citrus salad gave them a run for the money.
The one "duff" note of the meal came as a shared pasta course. "My Grandmother's Ravioli" may hit the spot for chef / patron Andrew Camellini but didn't really press our buttons. That's not to say it wasn't nice - we still polished off each meaty little parcel presented - but the chef's obvious personal nostalgia didn't translate in the way, say, Douglas Santi's does with his mum's gobsmacking lasagne recipe at Babbo. Less a duff note then, more a very minor hiccup.
No such complaints with the "secondi" dishes. Hanger steak was as good as we'd eaten anywhere else this trip (and Lord knows how many cows died to make it all possible), fire-roasted garlic chicken was big, succulent and pungent, shaved porchetta sandwich was a fat-oozing joy, and the roasted scallops were rich, perfectly cooked and elegantly underscored and undercut with more citrus flavours. It was also good to see sprouts as a side dish and very tasty they were too: most vegetables are though if you roast them with pancetta and pecorino shavings.
Cheese (superbly kept) and a moist sticky pudding (of dates and toffee if I remember rightly, not that I got much of a look in) finished the meal, and us, off in belly patting style, fuelling Will and Iqbal for a return to the UK and Mrs L and me until, er, dinner at Le Caprice. Yes, it IS a tough job actually...

just read your Locanda Verde blog, ten days after coming back from staying in TriBeCa. Gutted.
Hopefully next time.
If the proof of a good food blog is to make the writer a. hungry and b. jealous - you did it.

Envious of your NYC trip, haven't been in years. Agree with you that London could do with a LOT more mid-range good value/quality restaurants/cafes/bistros/places for brunch. One day!

Long trip back from Seattle plus time change plus bad news = grouchy author. Do not poke grouchy author. Just read pages instead.

Welcome to my JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes Page!
I'm taking part in my second JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes, along with hundreds of riders from around the world, to raise money for JDRF, the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.
The bottom line is T1D is a nasty and challenging disease for those who are afflicted with it. Luckily I am not. However, several of my friends are, and must deal with the daily struggles and routines. My wife was recently diagnosed with Type 2, which is hard enough to deal with. I cannot image what life would be like if she had Type 1.
So, I was challenged to make my passion for cycling into something more meaningful. Made sense to me. Train hard with purpose, and work hard to raise the funds. Honestly, I am always concerned about reaching the fundraising goals, especially since I do not like asking people for support. So, I do most of my fundraising as a volunteer at the Van Andel Arena, plus working at other fundraising events. I will log about 200 hours at the arena with the help of my friend Larry, and some help from our wives. My thanks to the VA Arena and SMG.
JDRF is working every day to change this. And every dollar raised helps them continue to bring life-changing therapies from the lab to the community until a cure is found.
If you would like to partner with and support me, that would be awesome. Your gift today will propel me toward the finish line. Please donate and help JDRF achieve its goal of a world without T1D.

The Colorado Mammoth has completed its off-season signings of returning players as forward Casey Powell agreed to a one-year contract on Tuesday, pending league approval. A ten-year NLL veteran whose name is synonymous with the sport itself, Powell was acquired by Colorado in a trade from Rochester in March.
"Casey was stellar for us down the stretch last season," said Mammoth president & general manager Steve Govett. "He is a tremendous passer and finisher, and is like having a coach on the floor."
The West Carthage, N.Y. native is the only American in the history of the NLL to be named the league's Most Valuable Player. He enters the 2014 season with 271 career goals and 378 career assists, and boasted a stretch of five-straight seasons with 80-plus points (2007-2011).
In six games with the Mammoth in 2013, Powell scored nine goals and dished out 23 assists. The 5.4 points-per-game average equates to an 85-point campaign over 16 games. (This season, the NLL schedule has increased to 18 games.)
Powell set the all-time national high school career points record, and later, graduated as Syracuse University's all-time leading scorer. He was a two-time Division 1 National Player of the Year, and was the first-overall selection in the 1998 NLL Entry Draft.
