Enoch Soames: a memory of the eighteen-nineties
pubOne.info thank you for your continued support and wish to present you this new edition. When a book about the literature of the eighteen-nineties was given by Mr. Holbrook Jackson to the world, I looked eagerly in the index for Soames, Enoch. It was as I feared: he was not there. But everybody else was. Many writers whom I had quite forgotten, or remembered but faintly, lived again for me, they

One Last Score

NCIS episode | |
Episode no. | Season 8 Episode 17 |
Directed by | Michael Weatherly |
Written by | Jesse Stern |
Original air date | March 1, 2011 |
Guest actors | |
"One Last Score" is the 17th episode in the eighth season, and the 179th overall episode, of the American crime drama television series NCIS. It first aired on CBS in the United States on March 1, 2011. The episode was written by Jesse Stern and directed by Michael Weatherly, and was seen by 19.21 million viewers.[1]
In the episode, the team must investigate the death of a former NCIS investigative assistant, while a new NCIS agent is coming back to the Navy Yard.
The episode marks the directing debut for Michael Weatherly, who also portrays Special agent Anthony DiNozzo on NCIS. It also introduces a new female NCIS agent, Special Agent Erica Jane Barret (Sarah Jane Morris), as a recurring character on the show.
NCIS discovers that one of its former investigative assistants found brutally stabbed to death was selling details for how to rob a warehouse full of valuable possessions. They discover that the warehouse contains items seized from a former Navy officer (JoBeth Williams) who used a Ponzi scheme to cheat many people out of their money. While investigating the warehouse, the team finds that something hidden in one of her desks was stolen. In order to find the killer, Gibbs makes a deal with the officer to downgrade her sentence to house arrest in return for divulging his identity. However, it is a ploy by Gibbs to lure out the real killer, a robber who lost his money trying to launder it through the officer's accounts. The officer grabs her notebook containing the accounts where she hid her money and flees, technically breaking her house arrest agreement. Gibbs and Ziva swoop in, arresting both the killer and the officer while at the same time getting the evidence they needed to put her away for life. Meanwhile, budget cuts cause personnel to be reorganized in NCIS, including the transfer of the Spain team to Washington DC. Tony immediately becomes infatuated with the new team leader, who apparently returns his feelings.
The episode is written by Jesse Stern and directed by Michael Weatherly. This is the first episode directed by Weatherly, who originally portrayed Special agent Tony DiNozzo on NCIS. "Believe me, I knocked on the door a long time".[2] According to Weatherly himself, "it's been a building interest. I've been really lucky to work with some really great film people in the past, but television works on a much quicker schedule, and it's the TV directors I've worked with that I looked to and became a big fan of. I know I'm geeking about it a bit, but I just love the technical aspects of it all, and this was an incredible opportunity in a very safe environment".[3] To begin with, Weatherly thought it would be an easy job to direct an episode. "Hey, I'm going to be there anyway, how hard can it be? It's very hard because as an actor [...] you flee the authority, but as a director you are the authority. It's a very tough job".[4]
NCIS Special agent Erica Jane "EJ" Barret is introduced in this episode as a new recurring character. She is much like Tony's character, and did accept the job in Rota, Spain which Tony passed back in Season 4.[3] "With the appearance of EJ, suddenly there's a renewed spirit that Tony has always had in him – it's what made him to go Africa and rescue Ziva with McGee. Sometime he acts like a goofball because that's what people expect, but in this episode he comes away from that place".[3]
"One Last Score" was seen by 19.21 million live viewers following its broadcast on March 1, 2011, with an 11.7/18 share among all households, and a 3.8/11 share among adults aged 18 to 49.[1] A rating point represents one percent of the total number of television sets in American households, and a share means the percentage of television sets in use tuned to the program. In total viewers, "One Last Score" made NCIS and CBS second for the night, only behind FOX's American Idol with 21.39 million. The spin-off NCIS: Los Angeles drew third and was seen by 15.67 million viewers. NCIS also got the fourth largest ratings for the week it aired. Compared to last week's episode "Kill Screen", "One Last Score" was down a bit in both viewers and adults 18-49.[5]
Steve Marsi from TV Fanatic gave the episode 4.4 (out of 5) and stated that "if [Michael Weatherly] hadn't already left an indelible mark on NCIS in seven-plus seasons, [he] directed a compelling, unique and thoroughly entertaining episode Tuesday. Michael deserves praise all around, because while "One Last Score" was definitely unusual as NCIS episodes go, it was still terrific, well-acted and perfectly paced".[6]

"Truth is unaltered state of consciousness while lie is altered state of consciousness that fades in time until will release the truth"
[not to be quoted]'/thread'[not to be quoted]
That means that sometimes the power of the truth is so overwhelming that it make it hard to be believed.
Indeed, never the truth does not fade.
Even if truth is working subconsciously and can define conscious and can give value to life.
If it is to quantify the Truth then I guess the formula will be:
where 'n' is the numbers of variables of a lie in time.
Although the truth is only one we can say that the truth has three states of aggregation:
Solid state of the Truth which is the raw truth in his purest form when he is born in the Fact of the Truth.
Liquid state of the truth when he can take the shape that we want to or better said when its taking the shape of our mind.
Usually this is happen after a short period of time after the Fact of the Truth when starting to analyze the elements of the Truth through their facts.
Gaseous state the truth and this happens when the truth vaporizes.
This is the dangerous state of the truth because just like before the Japan earthquake when distinct precursor signals are released in the atmosphere and ionosphere.
This can be seen in riots and revolts when truth in Gaseous state is released over and from masses of people and when a single spark is enough to ignite the blaze.
But for this truth must be released with pressure therefore we have the Pressure and Temperature of the truth.
nL=number of lies
Tt=temperature of the truth
Vt=volume that truth that he occupies given by number of subjects involved
When the truth gather pressure then he will be released with a violent pressure.
The forensic truth.
I guess this is a very complicated subject because for example the discovery of human remains after many years involves many sciences to gather the evidence necessary to discover the truth.
This is done in stages and is based on earlier survey distributive logic and intuition forensics laboratory research.
Investigation and evidence gathering items can be extremely difficult in a context where there are few ways to get to the truth.
But modern science usually has the answer for the traces of the past...I mean even if the survey may take years in the end the truth will come out from the darkness.
Because for crimes without the author even if it seems that they remain undiscovered ways, truth will come out in a certain way to give to itself dimension.
But there are other ways to find the Truth.
It's called the Truth from dreams and it's never lying.
Dreams can give us answers to many questions including unanswered questions that involves Truth.
In a dream when you dream someone you know we can depict the actual face that they can express such inner self at some point and that can express the truth about that person in relationship with us.
The rest is a matter of interpretation of the dream to find the truth.
Because dreams never lie and even if we think that they can lie in the end the purpose was the truth ...I mean the path to truth which is not easy.
There are people that live with Mendacity.For them lie is the truth itself and they built their lives on lies that in the end even they come to believe.
Mendacity is like a snake crawling silently through people's lives and brings only bad around it.
To live in mendacity is like living in mud but the mud is nice for reptiles and reptilian.
Mandacity can give to some people an easy life but in the end the truth will overwhelm them with it's power ,this to use elegant language.
Like here...
[not to be quoted]'/thread'[not to be quoted]
I mean like here...
even if we might not believe , truth always comes to the surface like quicksilver,because
"In an ocean of lies when the truth breaks to surface he cleans the waters of the ocean with the speed of light and only then the light will penetrate deep to show up in the darkest depths."
And that is process that has already began.

Corporations Look Before They Leap to Vista
Corporations Look Before They Leap to Vista
John G. Spooner
Posted 2006-03-22
Although Microsoft is bringing Windows Vista for enterprises out in November, ahead of the operating system's general release, IT managers won't be rushing to adopt it.
Large businesses will get the first crack at upgrading to Microsofts new Windows Vista operating system. But chances are that theyll still be the last to widely adopt it.
Microsoft on March 21 said it would delay the general release of Windows Vista,
which had been expected to come out this fall, to January. The company chalked this decision up to caution about not wanting to affect PC makers fourth-quarter consumer PC business with a possible missed ship date.
Businesses, which have no such concerns, will be able to get the code to upgrade from older versions of Windows to the new Vista operating system in November, however, Microsoft said.
But the chances of workers getting an upgrade to the new operating system at work before they get the opportunity to buy one for home are slim at best, several IT managers told eWEEK. "Our upgrade policy for Microsoft software as well [as] with most vendors, is to hold off on deploying into production a new software release for a minimum of six months after a major product release," said Tom Miller, an eWEEK Corporate Partner and senior direction of IT at FoxHollow Technologies, in Redwood City, Calif.
"As compelling as some new features may be, we need to test compatibility with other applications and factor in training and resources required for planning and deploying the upgrade," in addition to timing it with other software releases such as Office, Miller said. Indeed, corporations, which are normally cautious about rolling out new operating systems, arent likely to move any more quickly to Vista than they did to Windows XP, which came out in 2001 but which analysts say took several more years to wind its way onto business desktops en masseand, in fact, analysts say many companies are still on Windows 2000, and some even use Windows NT.

to read more about Microsofts rationale for delaying the release of Vista.
Many will begin testing soon in order to be sure of issues such as application compatibility. But they are likely to wait to adopt until Microsoft releases the first Vista service pack, which will include updates and bug fixes. Microsoft typically doesnt release its first service pack for about a year after rolling out a new operating system. Given the wait for the service pack and the amount of evaluation and testing work required, "It will probably be at least one year before we would even consider some form of an upgrade," Miller said. "That would need to be balanced with the release of the new Microsoft Office suite." Other IT managers said they would take an equally cautious approach to the upgrade. "Once we decide to start working with Vista, we will test it in a lab environment and if all goes well we will then roll it out on a limited basis until we are sure there are no major issues," said Ed Benincasa, vice president of MIS at FN Manufacturing, in Columbia, S.C., and an eWEEK Corporate Partner.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
KK- An Introduction & Another KK Game
by Paul on 01/10/07 at 06:27 PM ET
Comments (0)
It has long been my goal here at KK to attract direct advertisers to Kukla's Korner. That goal has was met when Black Aces Hockey inquired about advertising on KK. You may have noticed their ads running throughout KK, A2Y and Canucks & Beyond.
The folks at Black Aces wanted to participate in one of the KK games that are occasionally offered to KK members. They will be giving away a Black Aces hat and every KK member is eligible to win if you can answer this question…. What is your favorite hockey number?
Ah, no real, correct answer. But do put a number in the comment section of this post to be eligible and maybe tell us why you like the number. The contest will end Wednesday night at 11:59pm ET, so be quick. If you are not a KK member, just look at the left sidebar under KK Sections and register for free. A random drawing will be held on Thursday and the winner will be announced at that time. Good luck and previous KK winners may participate.
A little about Black Aces Hockey…
Astute hockey fans know that the Black Aces are not a team, yet every pro team has Black Aces. The Black Aces are the extra players a hockey team carries that have to be ready to play at any time. You have probably heard hockey announcers and comentators praising the efforts of the Black Aces and their importance to the team. Ever wonder why they are called the Black Aces? It's a classic hockey story and you can find the answer to this question at BLACKACESHOCKEY.COM along with great looking Black Aces Hockey apparel and much more.
added 4:27pm on 1/10/07, moving this to the forefront to remind you the contest ends tonight. Original post was 10:30am yesterday.
Update, 1/11/07, The winner of the Black Aces Hat is johnnygloveside. Congrats and thanks to everyone for participating.

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Jeremy Lin dominated the headlines coming into Friday's game between Houston and New York, but Chandler Parsons stole the spotlight with a career-high 31 points on 13-of-17 shooting.
Parsons added five rebounds, four assists, four steals and a block in the Rockets' 131-103 victory over the Knicks.
Lin ended with 13 points, seven rebounds and one steal against his former team. Once on the brink of being out of the league, Lin became an overnight sensation in New York last season when he recorded at least 20 points nine times over a 10-game stretch from Feb. 4-20, a span in which the Knicks went 8-2 with a six-game winning streak. The undrafted Harvard product had his campaign cut short after 35 games (25 starts) due to a knee injury. The Rockets signed Lin to a three-year, $25 million offer sheet in the offseason. The Knicks opted not to match and Lin became a Rocket.
"I thought that this was one of Jeremy's better games. I thought he really played and attacked with a little swagger and that was good to see," Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said about Lin. "He has great teammates that always encourage him and his coaches encourage him. When he plays like that, he's fun to watch."
James Harden added 33 points and went 16-of-16 from the foul line for the Rockets, who have won six in a row against the Knicks.
Carmelo Anthony made seven 3-pointers en route to 37 points for New York, which has lost two straight for the first time this season. Raymond Felton donated 17 points and eight assists.
Lin scored Houston's first points of the game on a driving layup.
However, the first quarter turned into a scoring battle between Parsons and Anthony. Parsons' driving layup gave the Rockets a 20-9 lead with 6:43 left. Anthony responded with back-to-back 3-pointers to make it a five-point game.
Houston led by as many as 11 in the first stanza and took a 35-32 margin into the second. Anthony and Parsons each had 18 points over the first 12 minutes of action.
Holding a 51-50 lead midway through the second frame, the Rockets went on a 21-7 run. Harden and Parsons tallied eight and seven points, respectively, during the surge to give the home team a 72-57 margin at the half.
The Knicks cut their deficit to 83-73 early in the third quarter. However, Houston responded with a 13-0 spurt to make it a 96-73 contest.

"Tonight they beat us in every way you can beat a team. I know throughout the course of the year, a season, you have games like this, but it's not acceptable. We just weren't ready to play, and that's on me," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said.

Postgraduate Courses at Bangor University
Music with specialisations in:
Normally the research project will be limited to any one area. Performers, however, will follow, in addition to their practical studies (60%), an agreed programme of original research into historical study, performance practice, editing or analysis, focusing on aspects related or central to repertoire performed (40%).
As a research programme, the course does not have a modular outline. Each student receives close supervision on an individual and original project, which has the potential to make a new and substantial contribution to the field.
Each student has a supervisory committee, led by the main supervisor, assisted by two other staff members with relevant expertise.
Research students have regular meetings with their supervisor and are entitled to consult other members of their committee as appropriate. They are also encouraged to present reports on their work in seminars and colloquia during each of their period of study.
Final assessment will be through viva voce examination through an appointed panel. The panel consists of one internal examiner from within the University/School (not identical with members of the supervisory committee), one external examiner, who is an expert in the field, and a chair.
Postgraduate degrees by research are suitable for candidates who already have some experience at postgraduate level (normally evinced through a Master's degree). Apart from these formal requirements, candidates will be accepted on the strength of their research proposal.
For information and further detailed guidance on entry requirements for International Students, including the minimum English Language entry requirement, please visit the Entry Requirements by Country pages on the International Education Centre section of our website.
Applications for research degrees differ substantially from applications for taught courses such as Masters degrees. Although the application form is the same, the way in which you approach your application can make all the difference.
As with all of our courses, you can apply to fund yourself through a PhD/Mphil at Bangor, or you may already have sourced external funding (e.g. from your employer or government), and we warmly welcome all expressions of interest in so doing. However, rather than simply filling in an application form, there are a few steps that you can take in order that your application stands a greater chance of being successful.
All PhD/Mphil students require supervision from at least one academic member of staff at the University, and if you are considering a PhD/Mphil, you will already have a good idea of the specific area or theme that you want to research. In order to ascertain that we hold sufficient expertise in your chosen topic to provide supervision, you should first look at our staff pages. This will provide you with a breakdown of each staff member's area of academic focus.
Once you have found a member of staff whose research interests broadly accord with your own, you should contact them directly with a concise research 'brief' that outlines your proposal and ask whether s/he would consider supervising your project. If the academic expresses his/her interest, you may then further discuss your ideas and develop a full PhD/Mphil research proposal.
At this stage, you should formally apply online for the PhD/Mphil programme. You should fill the form out thoroughly, including academic references, your research proposal and the name of the academic member of staff under whose supervision you intend the research to be conducted.
A good research proposal is essential if you are applying for a PhD or MPhil. The proposal should include:
Funded PhD studentship opportunities arise frequently throughout the year, and are advertised as specific opportunities for which you must formally apply. The application process for funded PhD studentships may differ according to the academic School in which the studentship opportunity is held, so please check the relevant School's homepage and follow the application advice therein. If you are unsure of any part of the application process, please contact the individual School for advice, or e-mail email@example.com.
Online applications can now be made by prospective applicants for all postgraduate taught programmes and postgraduate research programmes at the University (with the exception of the PGCE, Diploma in Occupational Therapy and DClinPsy).
We strongly recommend you read the Guidance Notes on online application before you start to apply.
Apply onlineOnce you have read the Guidance Notes you should apply using our Online Admissions Service.
After you have completed the form on-line, you will have to produce paper copies of a number of documents (certified where you're unable to provide the originals), such as academic transcripts, degree certificates, confirmation of financial support, and English language test results.
If you're having problems with our online application system, you can download the conventional application form and Guidance Notes (all in PDF or Word format) here:
(To download the material you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. A free copy is available to download from the Adobe Web Site)
The completed Application Form and accompanying documents should be returned by post to:
The Postgraduate Admissions Office
Academic Registry
Bangor University
Gwynedd UK
The University will accept applications throughout the year, but we would generally advise that you send in your application form by the end of June to ensure that you have time to make any funding and/or accommodation arrangements, and for documents such as transcripts and references to be obtained if not submitted with the application.This will also give you more time to meet any conditions we may potentially attach to an offer (e.g. in the case of overseas students, taking an IELTS or TOEFL test to meet the English Language requirement).

Grilled Cedar-Planked Salmon
Total Time
15 minsCook
20 minsPlanking is a rather new experience for us. I prepare the food and DH does the rest. This recipe is adapted from kraftfoods.com and is so simple to make. The original recipe called for parsley which I didn't have. I used fresh garden basil and loved it. Serve with rice, fresh bread and a salad for a lovely meal that is sure to impress. Please note: The cooking or prep time does not include the time needed to soak the cedar plank.
Nutrition- 1 cedar plank, untreated (14x7x1 inch)
- 118.29 ml sun-dried tomato vinaigrette dressing
- 59.14 ml fresh basil, finely chopped
- 59.14 ml sun-dried tomato, finely chopped (not oil packed)
- 14.79 ml oil
- 907.18 g salmon fillets, cut 1 inch thick
- 473.18 ml cooked basmati rice or 473.18 ml cooked brown rice
- basil leaves (to garnish)
- Place the plank in water, weight top and soak for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat grill to medium.
- Mix the dressing, basil and tomatoes; reserve half the dressing for use when serving the fish; set aside.
- Brush the top of the pre-soaked plank with oil; top with the salmon, skin side down.
- Place on grill; cover with grill lid and grill 10 minutes.
- Brush with dressing mixture and continue to grill for an additional 10 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with fork.
- Remove from plank, remove skin and plate on top of cooked rice.
- Spoon a tablespoon or so of reserved dressing over fish, garnish with additional basil leaves and serve.

Gattis homers as Braves beat Phillies 12-5
By The Associated Press
ATLANTA -- The Braves finished off the regular season with their 96th win, their most in nine years. They'd like 11 more victories.
"Now the fun begins," said manager Fredi Gonzalez.
Evan Gattis had a two-run homer among his three hits, Elliot Johnson drove in five runs and NL East champion Atlanta beat the Philadelphia Phillies 12-5 on Sunday.
The Braves won their first division title since 2005. They will have home-field advantage against the Dodgers in the NL division series, which begins Thursday at Turner Field.
"You get to create a whole new identity in the postseason," Johnson said. "Hopefully it goes our way."
Atlanta (96-66) finished with its best record since also winning 96 games in 2004.
"I'm proud of a good season, 30 games over .500, 96 wins," Gonzalez said. "It's a hell of an accomplishment for our club."
The Braves needed St. Louis to lose for a shot a home-field advantage throughout the NL playoffs. But the Cardinals beat the Cubs 4-0 to lock up the top spot.
Erik Kratz hit a three-run homer for the Phillies, who trailed 5-0 after three innings.
Philadelphia (73-89) finished fourth in the NL East with its worst record and finish since 2000, when it was in last place at 65-97.
The Phillies watched after the game as Braves players gathered for a photo around a 2013 sign that was placed on a stand in front of the mound.
"This isn't the situation that you envisioned going into spring training," said Phillies second baseman Chase Utley, who had two hits to finish at .284.
"If there is a bright spot, it gives us an opportunity to get to work a little bit sooner. We can start improving next week."
Johnson had a two-run triple in the sixth and a two-run single in the eighth while setting his career high with five RBIs. He started at third base as Chris Johnson was given a day off to rest his sore right shoulder.
Braves catcher Gerald Laird had four hits and scored four runs. Jose Constanza drove in two runs with a pinch-hit single in the fifth after the Phillies cut the lead to 5-4.
After five straight first-place finishes, the Phillies fell to 81-81 last season. The decline continued this season, and manager Charlie Manuel was fired on Aug 16.
The Phillies were 20-22 under Manuel's replacement, Ryne Sandberg, who was given a three-year contract on Sept. 22.
Gattis and Julio Teheran (14-8) were the Braves' top rookies this season. Teheran allowed four runs on six hits in five innings.
Gattis finished second among NL rookies with 21 homers, behind San Diego's Jedd Gyorko. He leads all rookies in the majors with 65 RBIs. Gattis has started at catcher, left field and first base and is expected to start in left field in the playoffs if catcher Brian McCann returns from an adductor injury, as expected.
"I'm happy with my year," Gattis said. "I feel like I've got a whole bunch I can do better. I'm not that happy, if it makes any sense."
McCann has not played since Thursday.
"I fully expect him to be ready to go," Gonzalez said.
Freddie Freeman had two hits, including a run-scoring single in the Braves' three-run first. For the season he hit .319 with 23 homers and 109 RBIs.
Zach Miner (0-2), who began his career in the Braves' organization, gave up five runs on seven hits and three in only 2 1-3 innings. Six Phillies pitchers combined for nine walks.
Phillies third baseman Cody Asche needed seven stitches after leaving the game with a cut chin in the first inning. He was hurt when a throw from left fielder Domonic Brown bounced and hit his chin as Jason Heyward was sliding into third base. Freddy Galvis replaced Asche.
Phillies rookie right-hander Tyler Cloyd, who made 11 starts, gave up two runs on three hits in the eighth in only his second relief appearance.
Braves closer Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth.
NOTES: The Braves will be off on Monday before having workouts Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for their NL division series. ... Gonzalez said the decision to start Elliot Johnson had nothing to do with Chris Johnson's dugout altercation with first base coach Terry Pendleton after Saturday night's loss. Chris Johnson said he apologized to Pendleton for throwing his helmet, which he said bounced and hit Pendleton. Pendleton then grabbed Johnson's jersey with two hands and the two exchanged words. ... The Braves' season attendance was 2,548,679, their top total since 2007. Sunday's turnout was 42,194. ... Laird's four hits matched his career high.

Giants sign DT Mike Patterson
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants have signed defensive tackle Mike Patterson, who spent the previous eight seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Patterson joins DT Cullen Jenkins, who also was cut in February, in moving from the Eagles to the Giants.
Patterson underwent brain surgery in January 2012, but returned to the Eagles for five games last season. He was diagnosed with a brain malformation in August 2012 after suffering a seizure during a training camp practice.
A first-round draft pick in 2005 out of Southern California, the 29-year-old Patterson played in 115 games with 99 starts. He made 551 tackles, 16 1-2 sacks, had four forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries.

International Monetary Fund
Much of the media is holding up the International Monetary Fund, or IMF, as a white horse riding into Asia and other economically troubled parts of the world, bringing salvation in the form of U.S. dollars. But a remarkable coalition of groups as diverse as Friends of the Earth and the Heritage Foundation are uniting to challenge the IMF. They claim it's ineffective, anti-poor and serves only to support a small and elitist agenda, financed by American taxpayers. In the next few weeks Congress may vote on an $18 billion funding increase for the IMF, of which $14.5 billion will be used to expand the fund's operations and scope.
US Embargo Against Cuba.
For decades, activists have been calling for an end to the nearly four-decade old American embargo of Cuba, decrying the embargo as inhumane, pointless, and just plain wrong. Now with the tourism booming in Cuba, the Cold War long over and the Pope's impending arrival, their crusade has been joined by many others including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Retired Army General who once commanded the Guantanemo naval base on the island. The new coalition is supporting pending legislation in both houses of congress that would end the U.S. embargo on food and medical sales to Cuba.
Cuba Conversations
The Pope will arrive in Cuba in little over a week. In preparation for his visit, host Amy Goodman went to Havana over the holidays to see how people were preparing for the visit and to get a sense of people's lives in Cuba.

DN! In Depth
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan — President Barack Obama issued the third veto in his more than six years in office, rejecting the "Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act." This was the new congressional Republican majority's first bill this year. Climate scientist James Hansen, the former head of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, wrote in The New York Times that if the pipeline gets built, "it will be game over for the climate." This vote and veto came as much of the United States was gripped by extreme cold weather, while most of California braces for even more drought. The corporate television newscasts spend more and more time covering the increasingly disruptive, costly and at times deadly weather. But they consistently fail to make the link between extreme weather and climate change.

Tennessee's so-called 'Don't Say Gay' bill died with the adjournment of the state assembly last year. But now the measure is back — with new, harsher requirements.
The bill, SB 234, still bars Tennessee teachers from discussing any facet of "non-heterosexual" sexuality with children in grades K-8. But the newest iteration also includes a provision requiring teachers or counselors to inform the parents of some students who identify themselves as LGBT. State Sen. Stacey Campfield (R), who authored the bill the first time around and again introduced it this time, calls out students who might be "at risk," but leaves the interpretation of that behavior to the teacher: (more at link)
Could you folks in Stacey's
Could you folks in Stacey's district do us all a favor and please vote him out of office?
'kay. Thanks.

Stacey Campfield wants children dead.
Hey, You people give Stacey a
Hey, You people give Stacey a break. It ain't easy keeping your name at the top of national whack job news cycle as much as he does. This man is a champion! If it weren't for Stacey you would be way more upset at the fact that your public schools system is being sold off and you wells are being poisoned by fracking. This is impressive stuff... being that damned mean takes work.
No show
He won't show up for local meetings and discussions such as those hosted by the League of Women Voters. But he'll talk to Faux News! A national embarrassment.

Perhaps someone should alert George Takei to expand on the last video.
After watching this nut on
After watching this nut on msnbc, (link...) seeing his blog and engaging him in the NS comment section, I've come to realize that he will do anything to get attention. It seems that he keeps upping the ante of right wing nutjobbery just to keep the media pointed at himself. I mean, why does he go on msnbc? To speak to his constituents? Don't think there's a lot of his fans there.
He really has no arguments. He just pivots from one straw man to another when someone pushes him to explain his crazy ideas.
It's creepy.
He governs by the old adage
"All press is good press. Just spell my name right."
He understands that homophobia still sells in the south and he's riding that horse until it dies in the desert. He's good at what he does and it's going to take a special candidate and a huge support team to beat him.
He treats politics like show business and he doesn't give up center stage. He can be beat, but we won't beat him with conventional tactics. It'll be a fight.
He was beaten last time in
(in reply to fischbobber)
He was beaten last time in the primary. And the Democrats won't put a substantial candidate up.
Why was he on MSNBC? Because they invited him?
They use him as much as he uses them, and that's also true with the News-Sentinel.
(in reply to AnonymousOne)
If you hit my name where it's underlined, go to my blog and hit the link at the start of the Future of the Democrats part one it will take you to the Knox County election results page.
You will note that Campfield won his primary, however, he did not take a majority of the votes. Ron Ledbetter has been formidable competition against Stacy in the primaries and it's my understanding that Stacy sponsored a stiff in order to pull votes from Ron and get a Campfield win in the primary. Randy Walker did not make the impact at the polls one would have hoped. I worked for the Walker campaign, and I'm proud I did, however, in retrospect, my time and the Democrats cause would have probably been better spent working for Sam Alexander. Steve Hall is more beatable than Stacy Campfield. Randy is a good guy, but he wasn't the guy to beat Stacy. Had we softened up Hall with Alexander, Hancock had a fighting chance.
It's not going to be easy to beat the guy. He has a lock on the idiot vote. That's significant. He has a lock on the homophobe vote. That's significant. He has a lock on the anti-tax vote. That's huge. BUT and this is a big BUT, he throws children under the bus every chance he gets. His achilles heel, his soft underbelly is that he is doing his best to destroy your child and every policy he has ever put forth underscores this weakness. He votes against education, he votes against the student and he votes against the child. He votes against our states future. He is beatable. It just won't be easy.
As for his media presence, he doesn't care what they say as long as he gets exposure for free. This will work to our benefit if Gloria steps up to the camera every time Stacy says something stupid.
I know y'all don't believe

I know y'all don't believe this, but you should listen to me & Bean. If he decides to run, Rick Briggs will take Stacey down.

Hell, I hope he does. Tell him to call me. I'll help.

We talked about it on some KV thread - heck if I know which one.
Rick Briggs is Dr. Richard Briggs, heart surgeon. He's also a County Commissioner, so if you really want to meet him, you shouldn't have much trouble finding his contact info.

Is he a progressive, traditional or crossover Democrat? Independent?
I really don't give a shit as long as I don't have to cross over to the dark side to vote for him.
He's a Republican. He will

He's a Republican. He will take Stacey out in the primary. It won't matter who the Dems run.
He's way more conservative than I am, but he's very smart and not out in RW cukoo land. And he has a good personality (which is kind of rare in surgeons, in my experience).
And he won't embarrass Knox County every time he opens his mouth. LARGE plus.
Just perfect.

Sorry, Greg, but if Rick Briggs is the Republican nominee for that seat, it WON'T matter who the Dems run. Not this time 'round anyway.
I'm not trying to discourage Dems from running; just talking reality.
This goes both ways
(in reply to Gregg Lonas)
Like the 1st and 2nd Districts on County Commission, they are safe as safe can be for Democrats right now.
Rachel is just stating the obvious. I would tell a strong Democratic Candidate from Stacey's district to run for City Council, if he lives in the City part of it, or run for one of the overlapping County Commission seats (doubtful he'd win this, but the district is much smaller, less people to convince to pull the lever from Republican to Democrat)
It worked for Cas Walker . . .
(in reply to fischbobber)
Local voters seem to appreciate entertainer-politicians: Campfield, Lambert, and Walker come to mind. Whether you're attending a commission meeting in a costume with a screw going through your back, burying a man alive to sell groceries, or relentlessly introducing outrageous legislation to gain attention (to overcompensate for self-hatred?), why monkey around with success, right?
Yes, Campfield is good at what he does . . .
I'll go over and wish him good luck after I vote in the Democratic primary. I've met some pretty decent people down through the years doing that.
Jay Leno was making fun of Campfield again tonight on his show.
Primaries are tricky things.
Primaries are tricky things. Pluralities are not that hard to pull off, and I assume Campfield could have the 7th District primary ticket loaded in his favor.
Any additional candidates on the GOP 7th district primary, motivated by principles or opportunism, could further divide the vote.
Plus, what is currently outrageous will be old news by the next primary. And there are a number of national issues that will influence local and especially state elections in 2014.
Gun control, Medicaid expansion, federalism, and the implementation of major parts of the ACA.
Campfield can use all to his advantage.
But yes, Commissioner Briggs is a great candidate and logical choice.
Heart surgeon, Iraq veteran, conservative yet independent,a realist, he brings a unique understanding of medicine and healthcare and will provide helpful leadership for future General Assemblies in dealing with the state's role in implementing the ACA.
Campfield politics all the time. He can be beaten, but an opponent can't assume anything with him.
(in reply to AnonymousOne)
...is also smart and a serious person. In short, everything Stacey is not.
I think it would be very difficult for Stacey to be beaten by a Democrat right now. West Knox is pretty much gonna vote for the person with the R by his/her name. However, I think a candidate like Briggs can win in the primary.
People are tired of the Stacey's shenanigans.
"I think it would be very
(in reply to Rachel)
"I think it would be very difficult for Stacey to be beaten by a Democrat right now."
Therein lies Campfield's primary strategy: campaign as the true conservative (not a so-called RINO), claim his opponent is supported by Democrats, and divide the moderate Republican vote.
I agree that Briggs is a smart, serious, thoughtful and caring public servant. And this campaign will require Campfield's opposition to be as clever as Campfield is cunning.
Let's talk about the bill instead of Stacey for a minute
I know how much y'all dislike Campfield, but why not take a couple of minutes and consider exactly what the bill is saying? Shameless self promotion, I just posted an article on Babble that does just that, from the perspective of a parent who has put 6 kids through high school.
There are some very good reasons why parents should be notified, and I believe we are doing them a disservice by automatically dismissing the bill simply because of where it came from.
If you are interested in my take, and wish to reply, the article is at (link...)
I have a friend who was
(in reply to Rich Hailey)
I have a friend who was thrown out of his parents' house when he was sixteen and he thought they loved him enough for him to safely reveal that he was gay. He tried suicide a couple of times before he discovered that there is such a thing as a non-birth family that cared whether he lived or died. He's fifty-two now and living in a loving relationship in Hawaii.
Campfield either doesn't know or doesn't care about the fact that he may well be pushing some gay kids over the edge by outing them to similar uncaring parents.
In a perfect world, I'd be
(in reply to Rich Hailey)
In a perfect world, I'd be all for parental notification. But in a perfect world, kids would be going to their parents first instead of to school counselors.
I can see the argument for parental notification but I come down on the other side. I suspect most kids who talk to counselors about this don't feel they can talk to their parents. Some of them may be wrong, but not all of them.
If the parents are told against the child's wishes, the child will find it hard to trust an adult again (or at least I would). And your statistic of 25% of gay kids being kicked out of their homes when parents find out is distressingly high. That's a mighty big chance to take.
Not to mention that if kids are struggling with sexuality, don't feel they can talk to their parents, and know that a counselor will have to tell them, how many kids will just struggle alone?
P.S. It is unfortunate that this bill comes from Stacey Campfield; it's difficult not to have a knee jerk reaction to anything he proposes. And I suspect that this bill may be less about the best interests of the kids and more about Stacey looking for more publicity.
But you are right, the topic deserves serious discussion.
Why should a counselor or
Why should a counselor or teacher have to tell a parent if the behavior isn't endangering the student or others?
This idea that teachers and counselors should be informants about any behavior deemed "troubling" is absurd.
That's not the teachers and counselors' roles.
Their primary roles are to help the students navigate through school, and as an extention, life.
This would open a Pandora's Box.
Not only that.
(in reply to AnonymousOne)
When word gets out that counselors are required to inform on students to their parents, students will stop talking to counselors about their problems. Then counseling positions can be cut.
I suspected what I learned all along, Fish.
After we talked last night, I learned what the Idiot's reasons are for ALL of it...told to me by someone who KNOWS. This person told me and others that Stacey confronted them during the start of the 2010 Campaign. This is basically his philosophy for 'winning':
"I do not CARE about anything I say or do...the more 'news' I cause, people remember my name. People REMEMBER MY NAME because of what I say, no matter what no matter who I hurt or insult. I will win this election, because this is my strategy and I have NEVER lost an election here or anywhere."
He is confident because he has GOP/TEA money behind him so he can fill a seat in Nashville...This is how the GOP/TEAs now control red states. Fools are supported by the GOP, no matter how repugnant...DesJarlais, Carr, Kelsey, Hawk, Curry Todd, so they can sit in seats and DO NOTHING for Tennesseans. This is evidenced by their lack of working on JOBS, on decent health care, on putting more money in public schools, K-12, instead of handing out our tax dollars to profit 'education experts' by ripping off poor families...vouchers, charter/private schools and the online craziness.
I note the Govenor said yesterday that he does not 'publicly' support Stacey and as much as admitted that this State's reputation has been negatively impacted by all the hate.
The voters the Idiot's District are SO impressed that he makes national news and is just so cute with his ignorance, that he WILL continue to win.
I say whoever Briggs is, he probably would win if he could condemn every single ignorant, hate-filled Bill, every lie (straight people don't get AIDS). And if Briggs IS a physician, he would have to tell the medical and scientific truth against Campfield's lack of any facts about human sexuality, or what Campfield says about violating the trust a child's might place in his/her school counselor. In other words, Briggs would have to tell the voters in that District that he DOES represent decent moral values, and he would work for THEM, not build a reputation for himself as a copycat, empty suit Stacy.
In other words, we Democrats and Independents would have to ask Jesus to run in order to 'get rid of Stacey'. Or maybe we can run a donkey for this job, one who would make more noise and is cuter.
Part of the problem
(in reply to marytheprez)
Part of the problem is, you actually don't know who "Briggs" is.
That and insulting the voters
(in reply to Gregg Lonas)
That and insulting the voters of the 7th district. And having no idea how a candidate could beat Campfield.
Try and remember Campfield won the primary with a plurality, not a majority of the votes.
Based on her strategy, the candidate would win the Democratic primary...and then lose to Campfield.
Show Business
(in reply to marytheprez)
It's show business for Stacy. As I told you though, I was shocked when I started going over some of the names in the nominating petitions for candidates out here. As a lifelong resident of this district, it was a real eye opener.
Campfield is polarizing, but I truly believe he can be beat by the right candidate (again, it's going to take wearing out about six pair of shoes for starters.). I don't believe we have to abandon the Democratic Party nor core Democratic issues to win this campaign.
Consider this. The press has swarmed to Gloria. Typically Campfield's two-year old spoiled brat shows was all that the news offered. We now have an adult, a reasonable, smart adult articulating the Democratic platform.
Sometimes during the course of an election, one gets caught up with whatever one is focused on. The big picture doesn't always become clear until later. Finding a candidate that can work behind the scenes with Gloria on education and children's issues will give the voters a high profile candidate (and let's face it, thirty percent of Campfield's vote is name recognition) and a real alternative to his madness. I think Gloria's and the party's support will be enough, for the right person, to beat Campfield.
At least I hope so. I don't sleep well at night when I vote Republican. My conscience bothers me. I'm voting for the Democrat or staying home.
The voters the Idiot's
(in reply to marytheprez)
The voters the Idiot's District are SO impressed that he makes national news and is just so cute with his ignorance, that he WILL continue to win.
I don't think that's true. If it were, he would have gotten more than 39% of the votes in the last primary. If he hadn't had two opponents to split the vote, he would have been toast then.
I say whoever Briggs is..... And if Briggs IS a physician,
Clearly you have no idea who Commissioner Briggs is. But many of the voters in the 7th district do. Dr. Briggs has proved to be a competent County Commissioner from west Knoxville. He's well-liked and respected by the voters out there.
And IF he is a physician? You're asking? I sure hope he is cause he did both my dad's bypass and my husband's artificial heart valve surgeries. If he's not a physician - and a highly respected one - we sure were misinformed.
Mary, I am embarrassed for
(in reply to marytheprez)
Mary, I am embarrassed for you that you do not know who the members of the Knox County Commission are. A basic requirement for anyone who is active in politics is to know who holds local office and some rudimentary information about those individuals, including their occupation. It's fairly easy to gather this information, and even if It's not known at this point, I doesn't get you any points to admit that you don't know what you're talking about if you're a local political animal. Really. I'm astounded.
You quote, as truth, a source
(in reply to marytheprez)
You quote, as truth, a source quoting Campfield boasting, "I have NEVER lost an election here or anywhere."
Evidently Campfield forgot that Steve Buttry beat him in the 18th House District GOP primary in 2002.
Or your source is making shit up.
From One of 'Those People'
In 1989 the Report of the Task Force on Youth Suicide commissioned by the Department of Health and Human Services stated that LGB youth were two to three times more likely to attempt suicide than straight kids and may equal up to 30% of youth suicides.
Those findings comprised only one chapter in the report but the Bush the Elder Administration attempted to suppressed the entire report because of its 'incompatibility with the Republican Party's Christian agenda'.
Granted, 1989 was a long time ago - but not that long ago it seems in the South. I mentioned that report once to a conservative (being as kind as I can here) colleague at work who said the sad part about it was the fact that they waited until they were teenagers before they killed themselves.
Oddly enough 1989 was the year I came out to my mother and I will never forget her first words, "Your [late] daddy hated those people."
How well I knew that.
Counselors informing parents
Counselors informing parents when their child's behavior might be deemed as troubling for the parents?
What if the parents are against inter-racial dating, etc.
Where would it end?
Counselor: "Mr. Jones, do you know that Margaret wishes to pursue a career in music, or art, and I wanted you to know before things went too far. We're having a talent show on Tuesday, and I was afraid...."
Sheesh, where do they get this stuff?

Black-buried as inevitable as innovation
The stock price of Microsoft rose seven per cent Aug. 23 after the company announced that Steve Ballmer would resign as chief executive officer during the next 12 months. This harsh market verdict suggested Mr. Ballmer and the company had failed -- but if this is failure, what would success look like?
Investor expectations in the high-tech sector remain extremely high. Complaints about the performance of Canadian tech giant BlackBerry should be judged accordingly.
Mr. Ballmer ran the business side of Microsoft through the 1980s and 1990s while Bill Gates ran the technology side. They gave the world the personal computer and its operating systems such as DOS and Windows. Since Mr. Ballmer took over as chief executive in 2000, Microsoft has enjoyed good success with the Xbox game device and improvements of the Windows operating system. However, Waterloo-based Research in Motion (now BlackBerry) and then Apple and Samsung took the lead in the expanding field of mobile computing and smart phones.
Investors who counted on Microsoft to remain a virtual monopoly as it was in the 1990s became impatient with its shrinking position in the high-tech market and demanded Mr. Ballmer's departure. He announced in early July a realignment of the company aimed at making it more nimble and more able to respond quickly to consumer tastes in high-tech products.
A week later, the company reported $73.7 billion in sales in the preceding 12 months and sharp increases in operating income and earnings per share (though these were impaired by a discount offer to customers for a Windows upgrade and by a European Union fine for anti-competitive conduct). Not enough, said the stock market, and the stock price dropped below $32. OK, I quit, Mr. Ballmer said last week, and the stock rose above $34.
In this environment of high investor expectations, BlackBerry should be seen as a successful company whose winning streak did not continue indefinitely. Under its former name, Research in Motion (RIM), the Waterloo, Ont., company developed and marketed the mobile computing systems and networks that put a smart phone in the pocket of every Canadian and U.S. government official and corporate executive in the 1990s. Apple and Samsung came along later with prettier devices that were more engaging. These devices appealed so powerfully to consumers that RIM was left in the dust. Lately the company has put itself up for sale and its strategy is in doubt.
In June this year, BlackBerry reported $3.1 billion of sales for the three-month period, an increase of nine per cent from the corresponding period a year earlier. Since BlackBerry had launched a new product that was intended to match the appeal of the Apple and Samsung smart phones, it had clearly not succeeded in that strategy. The firm shipped 6.8 million smart phones during the quarter, a respectable achievement, one might say, but pathetic when compared to the 178 million smart phones using the Android system shipped by Samsung and others during the same period.
Success in the high-tech industries is a relative thing. BlackBerry enjoyed stunning success for several years around the turn of the millennium. Investors are beating up the company's stock now because it no longer enjoys the virtual monopoly it then held by virtue of its inventiveness and its aggressive defence of its intellectual property. Now it has settled back to be a niche player, still appealing to markets where good encryption is valued and where public wireless service is unreliable.
The firm had a remarkable run. It put tiny computers in people's pockets and linked them to users around the world. It changed public expectations and paved the way for social media. In addition, it freed people in developing countries from reliance on scarce copper-wire telephone networks. It changed the world; but the world continues to change. Someone else will have to come up with the next big thing.
