From Buchanan's May 11 World Net Daily column:
More and more Americans are coming to conclude, after the record cold temperatures in many cities this winter, that global warning is a crock - that there is no conclusive proof it is happening, no conclusive proof man is the cause, no conclusive proof it would be a calamity for us or the polar bears.
Fox News has been among those playing up the story of comedian Wanda Sykes' jabs at Rush Limbaugh during her stand-up routine at the White House Correspondents Association dinner this weekend. News anchor Trace Gallagher wonders why Sykes "gets a pass" for her nasty jabs about Limbaugh being a terrorist with a suspect kidney, while CBS golf analyst David Feherty was forced to apologize for suggesting U.S. soldiers, if given the chance, would killer Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Leader Sen. Harry Reid.
Gallagher suggested the treatment of Sykes and Feherty wasn't fair, and that Sykes had gotten off easy in the wake of her controversial statement, yet there had been "a load of outrage," following Feherty's comments.
The comparison doesn't hold up for a number of reasons. First, how, exactly, has Sykes gotten a pass? Her jabs were immediately seized upon by conservatives who have waged a nearly non-stop campaign against her. How does being vilified all over the Internet, in print, as well as on cable TV, constitute getting a pass? And despite Gallagher's misinformation about how Sykes' Limbaugh lines generated big laughs, audible boos were heard inside the hotel ball room, no doubt coming from the Limbaugh supporters. But now for entertainers, getting booed mid-act qualifies as receiving "a pass"?
What's frustrating conservatives, I think, is that golf announced Feherty chose to apologize for his bizarre comments, in which he painted a sort of right-wing militia fantasy of the U.S. military staging a mini, anti-Democratic Party coup inside the nation's capitol by murdering key leaders.
When a network sports announcer paints that kind of public, violent portrait of murdering politicians, he's likely going to have to apologize if he wants to keep his job. But when a comedian at a roast makes jokes about a highly controversial and partisan figure who has made all kinds of hateful, disparaging remarks about the president, that performers not likely going to have to apologize.
That's why the debate about who gets "a pass" remains a pointless one.
Media Matters has documented numerous examples of Fox News' pattern of exploiting any opportunity to show scantily clad women, regardless of the seriousness of the issue being covered.
And especially its Beltway correspondents. Because they often don't adhere to common journalism standards (i.e they make stuff up), and the GOP Noise Machine often uses their shoddy 'reports' to attack Democrats.
Latest example of sub-par offerings comes courtesy of the Sunday Telegraph with an article that carries provocative headline and virtually no proof to back the claim up [emphasis added]:
Barack Obama's rich supporters fear his tax plans show he's a class warrior: Some of Barack Obama's richest supporters fear they have elected a "class warrior" to the White House, who will turn America's freewheeling capitalism into a more regulated European system.
Yikes, Obama's rich supporters are in revolt. That would make for an interesting piece of journalism if the Sunday Telegraph, y'know, actually bothered to locate any of Obama's rich supporters who felt that way. But the daily can't, so it just muddles its way through.
Again, the entire premise is that Obama's backers are angry at the new president's supposed hard left turn. But in a nation of 300 million, the Telegraph can't find a single American to quote by name who backs up the newspaper's "revolt" angle. (In real newspapers, that's when articles like this get spiked by editors.)
In fact, the entire article only contains two blind "rich supporter" quotes knocking Obama, and they come from God's-know-what-type-of-sources the Telegraph uses. And yes, to my ear the quotes have a certain Drudge-like quality. i.e. Blind quotes that are a bit too good to be true.
But who cares if the Telegraph has no standards? The Noise Machine loves the headline, so it the passed the article all around the web, which of course will only encourage Telegraph reporters to keep concocting awful journalism like this.
Nearly everyone seems to agree it was. Here's Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz, for example, in an online discussion today:
Howard Kurtz: I think there's been almost no soul-searching over this. The swine flu story has now virtually vanished, from television at least, without so much as an acknowledgment that the media played a crucial role in pumping it up. It's like Emily Litella: never mind.
.... here's what I said yesterday:
I have good news to report this morning. We're not all going to die...
The tone and the volume were just out of proportion to what we knew about the outbreak. Of course it was a story that people were interested in, that journalists had to cover, that had the potential to turn into a public health crisis. But the key word is "potential."
Even as medical reporters sounded cautionary notes, the saturation coverage turned excessive, even scary. And then, well, the thing fizzled...
I can't tell you how many people have complained to me about what they see as the media's wild overreaction on swine flu. Whatever short-term bump you might get in the ratings is outweighed by a loss of confidence among news consumers, and there's no vaccine for that.
But just because the swine flu didn't kill half the country doesn't mean the coverage was excessive.
Let's say a virus exists, and the medical and scientific communities agree with absolute certainty that the virus will wipe out half the population if people behave as they typically do ... but that it could also be stopped if people took some basic precautions, like washing their hands and staying home if they are sick, so as not to infect their schools and offices. And let's say the news media reported all of that. And, given the potential severity of the situation, they reported it a lot. And in response, people would wash their hands a little more often than usual, and stay home from work and school if they felt sick.
The result would be that, despite all the media coverage suggesting we could all die, nothing much would seem to happen.
And that would be exactly how you would want it to play out.
The fact that half the country didn't end up dead wouldn't mean that the media hadn't done it's job. It would mean that the media had done its job very well - it had made the public aware of vital information in time for the public to act upon that information.
Is that what happened? I don't know. But Kurtz, and many others, aren't even considering the question of what would have happened had the media downplayed the story, or what could have happened.
They're just concluding that, because millions of people aren't dead, the media did something wrong.
That's an odd way to assess things, to say the least.
There is no shortage of things the media obsess over that they shouldn't. Lipstick-on-a-pig political "controversies," for example. Shark attacks. Crimes involving missing (rich, white, cute) children. Things that have virtually no potential to significantly affect anyone other than the very few people directly involved. But we shouldn't be so quick to assume H1N1 was one of them.
(Kurtz, if memory serves, has in the past criticized wall-to-wall media coverage of things like shark attacks and runaway brides.)
Another one bites the dust. This weekend former Vice President Dick Cheney got in line behind the long string of conservatives bowing down before their leader -- Rush Limbaugh. Given a choice between booting Colin Powell or El Rushbo from the GOP, Cheney said he'd stick with Rush.
Check out this latest YouTube video from Media Matters and be sure to send it around to your friends and family.
On Face the Nation, Cheney chooses Limbaugh over Powell, "politically"

On Monday, May 4, The New Republic posted Jeffrey Rosen's "case against Sotomayor," in which Rosen portrayed Second Circuit judge Jose Cabranes as indicating that Sotomayor is "not that smart," based on this quote from Cabranes: "She is not intimidated or overwhelmed by the eminence or power or prestige of any party, or indeed of the media."
The very next day, The New Yorker's Amy Davidson pointed out that Rosen clipped Cabranes' quote, and that the judge also called Sotomayor "tough and tenacious as well as smart."
So, Cabranes called Sotomayor "smart." Jeffrey Rosen ignored that part of the quote, then portrayed the rest as indicating that Sotomayor is not smart.
The New Republic owes Sonia Sotomayor, Jose Cabranes, and its readers a correction. As of today, May 11 -- a full week later -- it has not yet posted one.
Everybody, including reporters, makes mistakes. That's no reason to never trust them again. But when those mistakes are pointed out, and they refuse to correct clear errors, they sacrifice credibility. Perhaps even worse, they demonstrate that they simply don't care about their credibility.
(I have more on the smearing of Sonia Sotomayor here.)
Tucker Carlson, in a Washington Post online discussion today:
West Palm Beach, Fla.: Is Obama going to give the American people single-payer health care?
Tucker Carlson: That's the plan. I'd bet my house it'll happen in the next 10 years. Of course it will result in inferior care. It has every place it's been imposed without exception.
But here's the good news: Very rich people will still have access to the best treatment. While the rest of us are waiting 8 months for an MRI, or a year for a hip replacement, the wealthy will simply buy private medical care. It'll be a more equal system, in the way Cuba's is.
That led another reader to point out that Carlson doesn't actually know what he's talking about:
the wealthy will simply buy private medical care: Tucker, they do this now. And in case you forgot: statistically, Cuba's health care blows us out of the water.
I am a childhood cancer survivor, I basically can't buy insurance on the "open" market, through no fault of my own (unless you want to blame me for my childhood error of getting cancer). I will always have to work for some company that provides coverage to employees and won't be starting my own business and improving the economy unless things change.
P.S. I recently made an appointment for a potential medical issue I am having. My appointment is for mid July. My dental appointment I made is for September. Good thing we don't ration care like those loser Socialists huh?
So how did Carlson respond to the reader's point about US & Cuba health statistics? He didn't. He ducked it, leaving Ana Marie Cox to answer it instead:
Ana Marie Cox: I love it when the chatters bring the FACTS. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/blake-fleetwood/cuba-has-better-medical-c_b_19664.html)
Statistics don't tell the whole story, of c -- I would not trade our system for theirs overnight, but they are startling.
Ana Marie Cox: And, of course, I wish you continued good health. Beating cancer is a challenge of the will as well as the body -- congratulations.
In 2000, the World Health Organization ranked the U.S. health system the world's 37th-best, behind France, Italy, Japan, Norway, Spain, Greece, the U.K., Switzerland, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Columbia, and a host of others. (WHO no longer compiles such overall rankings.)
a spate of new research shows the United States well behind other developed countries on measures from cancer survival to diabetes care that cannot entirely be blamed on the rich-poor or insured-uninsured gulf. None of this implies a specific fix for the U.S. health-care system. It does, however, say that "the best in the world" is a myth that should not be an impediment to reform.
At $6,697 per capita in 2007, it [U.S. health care spending] is the highest in the world (20 percent more than Luxembourg's, the next highest) and more than twice the average of the 30 wealthy countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
If only it bought better care. Only 55 percent of U.S. patients get treatments that scientific studies show to work, such as beta blockers for heart disease, found a 2003 study in The New England Journal of Medicine. One reason is that when insurance is tied to employment, you may have to switch doctors when you change jobs. ... The result is poor continuity of care—no one to coordinate treatment or watch out for adverse drug interactions. Such failures may contribute to the estimated 44,000 to 98,000 annual deaths from medical mistakes just in hospitals, and to "amenable mortality"—deaths preventable by medical care. Those total about 101,000 a year, reports a new study in the journal Health Affairs. That per capita rate puts America dead last of the study's 19 industrialized countries.
Other data, too, belie the "best in the world" mantra. The five-year survival rate for cervical cancer? Worse than in Italy, Ireland, Germany and others, finds the OECD. The survival rate for breast cancer? You'd do better in Switzerland, Norway, Britain and others. Asthma mortality? Twice the rate of Germany's or Sweden's. Some of the U.S. numbers are dragged down by the uninsured; they are twice as likely to have advanced cancer when they first see a doctor than are people with insurance, notes oncologist Elmer Huerta of Washington Hospital Center, president of the American Cancer Society. But the numbers of uninsured are too low to fully explain the poor U.S. showing.
But none of seems to matter to the Washington Post, which lets Tucker Carlson make whatever claims he wants in these discussions, without backing them up with actual facts.

The names may not sound familiar to you.
"I'm dressed up as Uncle Iroh from the Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon," said Jerry Glose.
"I'm Flame Princess from Adventure Time," Anna Fogler added.
But to the fans who invaded the Holiday Inn in Breinigsville, they know all about it. This is SaikouCon, the Lehigh Valley's first Anime convention. Anime covers a wide range of Japanese pop culture including comics, animated films and TV shows.
"There is not really a lack of anime conventions in Pennsylvania, but in there is in this part of PA," explained SaikouCon Founder Michael Meade. "We saw a need, we filled it."
SaikouCon means "best convention" in Japanese. Enthusiasts dressed-up in colorfully wild costumes like blue-haired heroines, and red-eyed vampires. Costumed and non-costumed fans get to check out anime, manga and Japanese culture at the convention. Workshops, panels and presentations with voice actors and artists are planned throughout the weekend. There is also a cosplay masquerade ball Saturday night.
"I got into this with my daughter and her friend several years ago, they wanted me to go along, I wanted to make sure she was okay," shared Glose. "They told me if I didn't dress up in a costume that I would be the one that is out of place."
Organizers hope to make SaikouCon an annual convention. They expect about 700 people over the inaugural three day event.
"I came out to come dress up and meet new people who are into Anime and sort of the same interests I have," described Delaney Dunlap.
"Just to dress up and have fun," Keith Esslinger said. "But I know allot of people come here to buy the artwork and get some pillows or whatever they have."
"It just lets me be myself," smiled Fogler. "It just let's me express my inner nerd."
SaikouCon runs through Sunday.
New Anime convention comes to the region

"The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is... legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay ... If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system." ~ Frederic Bastiat

The doctor's prescription? A little bit of Twitter
- Bayan Raji
- Reporter- Houston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Tweeting all docs.
One in four physicians uses social media daily, according to research out of Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.
A survey of 485 oncologists and primary care physicians found that, on a weekly basis or more, 61 percent scan for information and 45 percent contribute new information.
Dr. Anas Younes, a lymphoma expert and professor at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, has been on Twitter for four years. Younes said both Twitter and Facebook offer a number of benefits to doctors.
"It's a public service," he said. "You can communicate medical information to the public as a reliable source. There's a lot of misinformation out there and it can be confusing to people."
He especially likes to alert people to new clinical trials he thinks are worthwhile or interesting, he said. With social media, his reach is much wider than it was beforehand.
Younes said he also learns quite a bit from social media.
"Everyone is on Twitter these days, including journals, government agencies, foundations and so on," he said. "I can scroll through tweets on a daily basis and find out what's happening each day in my specialty."
Younes spends about 40 minutes throughout the day contributing and looking out for useful medical tidbits, news alerts or breakthroughs.
The medium's usefulness in the health care industry isn't limited to doctors, however. Houston Business Journal reporter Molly Ryan wrote about hospitals in Houston giving more control to their doctors when it comes to social media, and that they want to participate in the information exchange taking place online.

I worked at Clinical Professionals
ProsSome nice people who wanted to do a good job.
ConsWorking at Clinical Professionals was a constant struggle.
Management were completely non supportive, no consideration was given to less trained members of staff. Promotion was at hoc and it seemed that having a strong relationship with the owner provided more opportunity for promotion than anything else.
Often the size and capabilities of the company were expanded beyond the actual reality of the situation. Bids and tenders were often completed with some sort of fairytale image of the companies abilities.Advice to ManagementAdviceSell quickly. You can't handle it.

Akira Ioane has a rugby body with a pedigree to match.
Standing at 1.95m and weighing 103kg, the 18-year-old is an impressive and imposing sight with ball in hand.
It's unfair to make the comparison with the ambassador of this year's Wellington Sevens, but, like Jonah Lomu in his youth, Ioane is a No 8 in fifteens.
A year ago he was the star of the Auckland Grammar first XV and New Zealand Secondary Schools off the back of the scrum.
Now he's flying in open spaces and showing off some of the genes passed on to him by his father Eddie, a lock in the famous Manu Samoa squad that took the Rugby World Cup by storm.
Proud parents Eddie and Sandra along with younger brother Rieko will be in the stands at Westpac Stadium on Friday to watch Akira's national sevens debut.
Akira owe much to his dad's rugby career, including his name, which in Japanese means "bright and clear".
After playing five tests for Samoa during the 1990 and 1991 seasons Eddie played for Japanese club Ricoh.
"I'm an Auckland boy through and through, but I lived in Japan as a little boy growing up," Akira said after terrorising Australia during a practice match at Porirua Park yesterday. "I was born in Auckland, but my dad played over there for Ricoh for four years. I don't remember much."
He said he'd always been aware his dad being a member of the 1991 Samoan team was a big deal, but said he wanted to make his own name as a rugby player.
There's every chance that will happen this weekend when he makes a belated sevens debut.
He was supposed to be in Las Vegas a few weeks back, but was stranded in Auckland after officials failed to put his visa application in on time.
"That was a bit frustrating, but you can't do much about it," he said. "I had training every day, fitness, skills, so when I came back into the environment I wasn't feeling too far behind."
Expectation is a tough burden for those introduced to the rugby world in Wellington.
The likes of Roy Kinikinilau, Victor Vito and Declan O'Donnell have grabbed the opportunity with both hands, but there are plenty to pass quietly into the background.
Ioane doesn't look like the latter, big and skilful with an ability to beat smaller men on the outside with sheer pace. There is a touch of Frank Halai about his play.
"Coming in here the senior players are teaching me a lot. They're giving me a good insight into the game, making me a better player and hopefully I can use that to get a rugby career after this," he said, noting his fifteens aspirations have been on hold since he played for Auckland at this year's nationals in Queenstown.
Ioane is the only new cap in a New Zealand team bolstered after a close 14-7 loss to South Africa in the final of the Vegas tournament.
Big Auckland wing Ben Lam comes back for the first time this season after breaking his foot last year, while veteran playmaker Tomasi Cama returns from injury.
The two unlucky players to drop out of the initial squad of 14 are Canterbury's Mark Jackman and robust Northland hooker Matt Moulds.
NEW ZEALAND SQUAD: Tomasi Cama, Scott Curry, Ambrose Curtis, DJ Forbes (c), Bryce Heem, Gillies Kaka, Akira Ioane*, Ben Lam, Tim Mikkelson, Lote Raikabula, Sherwin Stowers, George Tilsley.

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. - The federal and provincial governments should each foot a third of the bill for cleaning up after last month's devastating ice storm, municipal officials said Friday.
"There's a great fear that... we will be left on our own to deal with the financial aftermath of the storm and we all agree that the property tax cannot bear that burden," Hazel McCallion, the mayor of Mississauga, Ont., said in a news conference.
The storm impacted dozens of communities and officials said the recovery could cost between $250 and $275 million, including $106 million for Toronto alone.
Officials from several of those municipalities laid out their requests for assistance Friday after a meeting in Mississauga, and gave the province until March 1 to respond.
Municipal Affairs Minister Linda Jeffrey — who attended part of the meeting — said she has asked Ottawa for financial assistance.
But it could take months to sort out who's eligible for relief and how much, she said.
"Not all municipalities have provided the paperwork and the assessments we need," she said.
"Not all municipalities were impacted and not all will qualify."
That timeline didn't sit well with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who took part in the meeting despite being stripped of most of his powers last year.
"We can't wait many many months," he said at the news conference, criticizing the province for what he deemed a vague response.
Deputy mayor Norm Kelly, who took over the bulk of the mayor's duties, later said it would be unrealistic to expect a firm commitment from the province before it had a chance to review the municipalities' requests.
Ford also voiced his displeasure that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne wasn't present to personally hear the communities' concerns.
His complaint was briskly rebuffed by McCallion, who said appealing directly to the province's leader would have been premature.
"You've got to do your homework if you're going after something," she said.
The mayor recently condemned Wynne for refusing to meet with him one-on-one to discuss the storm recovery effort. The premier has said she is simply working in line with decisions made by city council.
Councils in many municipalities — including Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon — have voted to ask the province that they be declared disaster areas.
The ice storm downed trees and hydro lines, cutting power to hundreds of thousands for days and stalling road and air travel.
Jeffrey said the ministry has already begun the process of assessing the requests of municipalities that are seeking disaster relief.
Public Safety Canada, meanwhile, said requests for financial help must first go to the provincial government, which decides if disaster assistance is warranted and how much it can reasonably pay.
The province can then go to the federal government to seek funding under the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements if eligible expenditures meet the programs criteria.
Both municipal and provincial leaders have pushed for Ottawa to create new disaster mitigation programs to address the damages caused by extreme weather.

In his international blockbusters The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown masterfully fused history, art, codes, and symbols. In this riveting new thriller, Brown returns to his element and has crafted his highest-stakes novel to date.
In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology, Robert Langdon, is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history's most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces: Dante's Inferno.
Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante's dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust...before the world is irrevocably altered.
Please note: This audiobook will be released on Tuesday, May 14, at 3:00 am Eastern Daylight Time.
©2013 Dan Brown (P)2013 Random House Audio
"Dan Brown has lost his muse"
someone who was not familiar with his earlier books
back to something by Bryce Courtney, David Sedaris or Malcolm Gladwell OR popular science.
good performance in spite of the content.
very disappointing, very predictable, more of an Italian art history lecture than a novel, and a most unmemorable ending..
Sorry Mr Brown, this just didn't hit the standard you set with your earlier books.
"Mediocre at best"
I would've actually though that Inferno is a pretty good book if I hadn't read Brown's other books and noticed that he has already written it several times over. It's a sloppy, half-hearted repetition of The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and The Lost Symbol.
I listened it through, but not with any gusto. Dan, could you please come up with a new idea - this one's just become stale?
"Nowhere near as good as Da Vinci Cod"
Guessable, boring, repetitive and depressing plot. Don't waste your credits or your money. The Inferno's puzzles are not worth solving.
"Inferno - Not so hot"
The least enjoyable of the Langdon series. Brown's recipe for past success seemed a little overdone this time out. Although a good scenic tour through Florence, it seemed to have a 'made for the big screen' feel, which is a big part of where I think Inferno fails.
Paul Michael's remains one of the best.
"Summertime Bubblegum...chewable"
Dan Brown novels are not high literary masterpieces, nor do I think that's why anyone reads them.
If you are looking for mild escapism peddling through a predictable (sorry) story that pretty much follows the same Dan Brown outline of his previous Robert Langdon novels, then you'll enjoy it, much like rediscovering a pair of lost, but comfortable shoes after a couple months.
The narration was so-so ... I've heard better and I've heard worse ... and some of his vocal characterizations, made only worse by very wooden language on the part of Mr. Brown, would make me cringe, but after awhile, you get over it.
I think my biggest pet peeve of this book is the dialogue. Stilted, wooden, I'm actually surprised as to how poor it was, or how lazy Mr. Brown was in its construction. It really turns the characters into archetypes -- perhaps they're real people, but all that gets through is the veneer of any of them.
BUT...it's a summer listen, and like I did, if you're in need of something while walking a stretch of beach, this will do, and it won't tax your mind greatly,
"Formulaic, Preachy, disappointing"
The background on Italian art , Dante , and Istanbul was interesting. Otherwise, this was pure formula. I enjoyed the first few books of Brown, but the was stretching for this. I could almost anticipate the next device the author would use to try to arouse the reader... It was pure formula. Repeated words and exclamations over and over. Chapters started with a repeat of what just happened... as if we were watching a tv show back from commercial. This was very annoying. The story was weak and preachy. It felt like a forced lecture on overpopulation. I have no idea if the science is true or not but I am not going to take Dan Brown's word. If he wants to teach me about art, literature, and architecture through his fiction...great. Science and politics? Please....
The plot was forced and gimmicky.. It is classic thriller fiction to have one realize that everything one thought was a trick and not really as it seemed.. but this was totally forced and silly.
I would recommend finding a better book to spend one's time on.
"Schlock. Never edited or likely even proofread."
Not after this one for Brown. Absolutely yes for Michael.
The Langdon formula is old. Nothing interesting about the historic hook. Awful, dreadful prose. How in the world can an author have a 200+ IQ character say that the criminal mastermind "let Pandora out of the box"??? That 's a joke right? Unbelievabley dismal. And in the course of about 5 chapters, Brown uses the word "massive" about 50 times. LIterally, he uses "colossal" 2x, another synonym once. Otherwise, never glanced at a thesaurus -- this is an obvious sign of a throwaway effort, by an author apparently exempt from any editor review. Hideous.
No but will.
As if I were watching a pop author wither and die in a manner that simply makes one want to look away. As if you encountered a poor soul puking in the street and not only looked away, but tried to move far enough away to make sure none got on you.
"Too biased"
Not Brown
Its not the frosting on the cake that is the problem.... it is cardboard cake.
No... its just like his other books... he is stuck in a rut and arrogantly claims his view is scientific truth not to be argued with. (Dan, go to net and type in Demographic Winter and watch the documentary and then tell me you are better informed than those interviewed)
Too environmentally biased. He misinterprets Malthusian population math. Earth has both a population problem and a depopulation problem. Over 40 nations (most of the west) has an aging population because of below replacement level fertility rates. Those who should be reproducing are choosing not to and the result is a dumbing down the the population. This is a huge problem that Brown totally ignores and just plows ahead with 1960's era 0-population propaganda. Too simplistic approach to a very complex problem.
"just plain boring"
not so much talk about art and design
the womens voice was terrible
I just could not finish the book it was just terrible

US files Polanski extradition request
The United States has asked Switzerland to hand over Roman Polanski to authorities in California, where he could serve up to two years in prison for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.
The Justice Ministry said in a statement yesterday that Washington filed its formal extradition request late on Thursday. The 76-year-old filmmaker has been in Swiss custody since his arrest on 26 September as he arrived in Zurich to attend a film festival.
The request has been forwarded to Zurich authorities, who will hold a hearing on an unspecified date to decide whether Polanski should be sent back to Los Angeles. If extradition is approved, Polanski may appeal the decision to Switzerland's top criminal court and, theoretically, to the Federal Supreme Court.
That means the director of such film classics as "Rosemary's Baby" and "Chinatown" could remain in a Swiss jail for months more of legal wrangling, even though legal experts say he has little chance of avoiding a return to the United States after 31 years as a fugitive.
The maximum sentence Polanski can receive in California is likely two years, said Terry Thornton, spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. She said the sentence would come under laws that existed at the time of the crime, but she did not know if he could receive credit for time served in Swiss detention.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office declined comment.
Folco Galli, a spokesman for Switzerland's Justice Ministry, said the sentence couldn't be longer because Polanski could only be punished for the crime that is the basis of his extradition.
In Paris, Polanski's lawyer said the director would fight extradition.
"He will oppose this request and continue to ask to be released until the request is examined," Herve Temime said.
The US had until late November to file for extradition, but the Swiss were already asking on 5 October that the Americans expedite the process.
Los Angeles prosecutors noted in an email exchange that the "Swiss were very eager to receive an advance English copy of our papers" and "the sooner that the Swiss knew we had filed formal papers the better."
There was no mention in correspondence of the intense public scrutiny over Polanski's arrest in the Alpine country, which tipped off US authorities that he was expected five days before his apprehension at Zurich's airport.
Swiss officials have defended the move as routine procedure. But several politicians and commentators have argued that Switzerland may have cooperated too energetically, and that recent US-Swiss troubles over wealthy American tax cheats and Swiss banks may have provided motivation for the arrest.
Polanski, who won a 2003 directing Oscar in absentia for "The Pianist," was accused of raping the 13-year-old girl after plying her with champagne and a Quaalude pill during a modeling shoot in 1977. He was initially indicted on six felony counts, including rape by use of drugs, child molesting and sodomy.
Polanski pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of unlawful sexual intercourse. In exchange, the judge agreed to drop the remaining charges and sentence him to prison for a 90-day psychiatric evaluation. Polanski was released after 42 days by an evaluator but the judge said he was going to send him back to serve the remainder of the 90 days. Polanski then fled the country on Feb. 1, 1978, the day he was to be sentenced.
Polanski claims the judge and prosecutors acted improperly, and his lawyers in California are urging a state court to quickly hear his appeal. In court filings yesterday, the lawyers said key witnesses in the case are now elderly and have yet to testify under oath.
A French native who moved to Poland as a child, Polanski has lived in France since fleeing the United States. France does not extradite its citizens.
Polanski has been fighting since his arrest to be released from jail. He suffered a serious setback earlier this week when the Swiss Criminal Court rejected his appeal because of the high risk he would flee justice again. It turned down a bail payment of his Alpine chalet in Gstaad, house arrest and electronic monitoring as conditions for his release.
The loss appeared to prompt some rethinking of his defense, when one of Polanski's lawyers said Wednesday that it was possible that the director might voluntarily return to face justice in the United States.
But that suggestion was quickly rejected by another attorney representing Polanski.

About $4.5 billion is set to leave SAC Capital Advisors over the course of the year—and the firm's peers reason it's got to go somewhere.
Large hedge funds are hoping to attract at least some of the money redeemed from SAC, which is under the cloud of an insider-trading investigation. Among the firms named as likely beneficiaries are Millennium Management, Balyasny Asset Management, Visium Asset Management, Citadel Investment Group and Hutchin Hill Capital, Reuters reports.
Hutchin Hill is led by former SAC trader Neil Chriss.
SAC was hit with $1.7 billion in redemption requests in February and between $2 billion and $3 billion at the beginning of this month. That money will be paid out in installments over the course of the year, per SAC's redemption policies.
While large managers are expected to win the bulk of the former SAC money, the shrinking firm's troubles could create opportunities for its traders.
"There are going to be a few very good managers coming out of SAC launching funds," Adam Kahn, of professional search firm Odyssey Search Partners, tells Reuters. "Depending on how well these guys are known by investors, they may see some of that cash, too."
