Radio daze: Grading S.D. sports hosts
Why switch to music: It's a wonder guests don't nod off during an Ello interview. The guy takes forrrrevvvvverrrr to ask a question. As the inimitable Jim Healy said, "Get to the point, will ya, Jim."
Grade: 3 microphones
The Drive
Station: XTRA Sports 1360
Time: 3-7 p.m.
Hosts: Josh Rosenberg and Charod Williams
What's good: Tough time slot, going against Smith and, six months of the year, the Padres' BP Show. But Williams' kid-in-a-candy-store enthusiasm is worth the occasional listen. No one on the radio talks faster. (Next career: auctioneer.) One night Williams mentioned his father's career choice. "He owned a haberdash." "Haberdash?" said Rosenberg. "You mean haberdashery? You just cut off words." Replied Williams: "I don't have time." Sadly, the African-American Williams is the only minority hosting or co-hosting in San Diego. All the others are white males. One local white male who isn't on the air but should be is Jeff Dotseth. Dotseth, who has bounced around San Diego talk radio and is now working for a local MMA-related company, is quirky, random and absolutely hilarious. With some of the mediocre (and worse) talent on air, it's a crime to listeners that Dotseth isn't there to fill the void.
Why switch to music: Depth of knowledge isn't Williams and Rosenberg's strong suits. Blame that on management for putting such inexperienced talent on the air.
Grade: 2 microphones
The Dan Patrick Show
Station: XTRA Sports 1360
Time: 6-9 a.m.
Host: Patrick
Overview: Humorous, topical, insightful, a cast of characters, A-list guests, all led by an industry icon, this is sports-talk radio at its best. And it all feeds off Patrick. Whether talking about his minor movie roles alongside starlets or his neatly coifed hair, Patrick brings an air of sophisticated whimsy. And the atmosphere with his assistants, "The Danettes," is clearly one of men busting each other's chops. Because of his name and syndicated forum, Patrick attracts top-shelf guests. Recent ones include Charles Barkley, John Smoltz, Charlie Sheen and Brooklyn Decker. (Athletes typically outnumber entertainers/models 10-1, but we couldn't resist the name dropping.) Whether hosting NBC's "Sunday Night Football" or his radio gig, Patrick always seems calm and in control. He's also an excellent interviewer. Some examples: to Browns running back Peyton Hillis, "Do you understand the whole novelty of being a white running back in the NFL?" to Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, "What's the best advice you've ever been given?" or to Vince Vaughn, "Will we ever see a sequel to 'Dodgeball?' "
Why switch to music: No reason, unless you just can't handle commercials.
Grade: 5 microphones
The Herd With Colin Cowherd
Station: ESPN Radio 1700
Time: 7-9 a.m. (7-10 a.m. on ESPN Radio 710)
Host: Cowherd
Overview: Cowherd falls under the either-you-love-him-or-despise-him category. I listened to him regularly once. Now, hardly ever. You get the impression the guy wakes up in the morning, decides what side most people are taking on an issue and chooses to argue the opposite just to be cantankerous. That'd be fine if Cowherd weren't so pompous and arrogant. As someone said after Cowherd's "SportsNation" co-host Michelle Beadle broke her ankle, "What happened, did Colin's ego fall on your foot?" Cowherd usually unabashedly sticks to his opinions but last month he flip-flopped like a pancake on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Super Bowl week he said Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is as good as Rodgers. Then Rodgers lit up the Steelers and Cowherd's lining up Rodgers alongside Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in the bastion of current superstar QBs. Rodgers took a shot at Cowherd when he told him on air, "Maybe even people like yourself can be fans of me now." Having said all that about Cowherd, the guy can be entertaining.

I chose this because of it's location. Next time I'll choose somewhere else. Water hose was buried in the dirt to go under the site beside mine, as was the 30 amp power cord. Sites are very close beside each other. The one good thing (there is *always* something good) was how quiet the campground was. It was sold out. Owner seemed friendly but worn out. He spoke of having to be "creative" about supplying water and electric to the sites. We camped at Blue River Campground in a Motorhome.Undo

Charles Dharapak, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Failure to raise the U.S. debt limit would probably ensure President Barack Obama's re-election in 2012, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell warned fellow conservatives on Wednesday, fresh evidence of deep GOP political divisions on an issue of paramount importance to the nation and its economy.
McConnell spoke as Obama and congressional leaders met for a fourth straight day — struggling to avert an unprecedented government default threatened for Aug. 2 — and rank-and-file lawmakers advanced fallback measures in case the bipartisan talks fail.
One version, authored by Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., was designed to make sure Social Security benefits are paid on time. Another, unveiled by a trio of House conservatives, would give priority to paychecks for members of the armed forces.
"Currently, there is not a single debt limit proposal that can pass the House of Representatives," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said in a written statement. He said efforts should focus on "what we can agree upon" rather than Democratic demands for raising taxes or GOP calls to repeal the year-old health care bill.
Without an increase in government borrowing authority by Aug. 2, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has warned, there could be a default posing a catastrophic risk to the economy, still recovering from the worst recession in decades.
In a sobering reminder of the stakes, the Treasury Department announced that the federal deficit was on pace to exceed $1 trillion for the third consecutive year, and was likely to top last year's $1.29 trillion.
In a radio interview on the Laura Ingraham Show, McConnell predicted that if Congress fails to act, Obama will argue "that Republicans are making the economy worse and try to convince the public, maybe with some merit, if people start not getting their Social Security checks and military families start getting letters saying their service people overseas don't get paid."
"You know it's an argument he has a good chance of winning, and all of a sudden we (Republicans) have co-ownership of a bad economy. That is a very bad positioning going into an election," he said.
McConnell said his first choice was to reach a good compromise with Obama.
Short of that, "my second obligation is to my party ... to prevent them from being sucked into a horrible position politically that would allow the president probably to get re-elected because we didn't handle this difficult situation correctly."
At least in part, McConnell's comments were a rebuttal to conservatives who criticized his proposal on Tuesday to let Obama raise the debt limit without a vote of Congress.
Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich called that idea an "an irresponsible surrender to big government, big deficits and continued overspending," and Ingraham said she had received emails from conservative listeners likening McConnell to Pontius Pilate.
The Republican lawmaker brushed aside the biblical reference. But without mentioning Gingrich by name, he referred to two government shutdowns of 1995 that the one-time House speaker engineered in hopes of winning deep spending cuts from a Democratic president.
The tactic backfired politically on Gingrich and the Republicans, and benefited President Bill Clinton.
A decade and a half later, some Republicans have set out on what could be a similar course on the debt limit, demanding huge deficit cuts — and no tax increases — as the price for approving an increase in borrowing authority.
Some Democrats couldn't resist the temptation to jab at them.

A Map of Verona
Quelle belle heure, quels bons bras
me rendront ces régions d'où mes
sommeils et mes moindres mouvements?
A map of Verona is open, the small strange city;
With its river running round and through, it is river-embraced,
And over this city for a whole long winter season,
Through streets on a map, my thoughts have hovered and paced.
Across the river there is a wandering suburb,
An unsolved smile on a now familiar mouth;
Some enchantments of earlier towns are about you:
Once I was drawn to Naples in the south.
Naples I know now, street and hovel and garden,
The look of the islands from the avenue,
Capri and Ischia, like approaching drum-beats—
My youthful Naples, how I remember you!
You were an early chapter, a practice in sorrow,
Your shadows fell, but were only a token of pain,
A sketch in tenderness, lust, and sudden parting,
And I shall not need to trouble with you again.
But I remember, once your map lay open,
As now Verona's under the still lamp-light.
I thought, are these the streets to walk in the mornings,
Are these the gardens to linger in at night?
And all was useless that I thought I learned:
Maps are of place, not time, nor can they say
The surprising height and colour of a building,
Nor where the groups of people bar the way.
It is strange to remember those thoughts and try to catch
The underground whispers of music beneath the years,
The forgotten conjectures, the clouded, forgotten vision,
Which only in vanishing phrases reappears.
Again, it is strange to lead a conversation
Round to a name, to a cautious questioning
Of travellers, who talk of Juliet's tomb and fountains
And a shining smile of snowfall, late in Spring.
Their memories calm this winter of expectation,
Their talk restrains me, for I cannot flow
Like your impetuous river to embrace you;
Yet you are there, and one day I shall go.
The train will bring me perhaps in utter darkness
And drop me where you are blooming, unaware
That a stranger has entered your gates, and a new devotion
Is about to attend and haunt you everywhere.
The flutes are warm: in tomorrow's cave the music
Trembles and forms inside the musician's mind,
The lights begin, and the shifting crowds in the causeways
Are discerned through the dusk, and the rolling river behind.
And in what hour of beauty, in what good arms,
Shall I those regions and that city attain
From whence my dreams and slightest movements rise?
And what good Arms shall take them away again?

Mass Effect 3 is a triumph. There's really no other way to describe it. The game represents the culmination of a ten-year effort on the part of BioWare to craft the industry's first true epic—a multi-game story in which every decision by the player has weight and meaning. Frankly, reviewing Mass Effect 3 within the same critical framework as one reviews SSX or Modern Warfare is an insult to BioWare's incredible achievement, regardless of the final score assigned.
Despite its immense successes, there's one big problem with Mass Effect 3: The ending sucks. At least, that's the answer you'll get from thousands of fans upset that the story of Commander Shepard didn't wrap up in the way they had hoped. Angry players have stormed forums, formed Reddit groups and set up petitions demanding that BioWare modify the game ending, citing plot holes, false advertising and a general sense that the experience they got wasn't the one they were sold.
Just a couple of weeks ago, BioWare finally answered all of this complaining by announcing DLC content that will help clarify some of the events show in Mass Effect 3's ending sequences. The exact quote from the company states, "…the DLC will offer extended scenes that provide additional context and deeper insight to the conclusion of Commander Shepard's journey." In short, BioWare listened to player concerns and came up with a plan for expanding on the existing ending.
This may be a big win for fans, but it's an enormous loss for the industry in general. Here's why: fans are, for the most part, morons. Have you ever read fan fiction? There's a reason it's an Internet punch line. If left to their own devices, fans would tear down many of our favorite stories for "better" endings. Darth Vader lives. Harry and Hermione get married. Spock and Kirk make out. These are all things that happen in fan-written stories, every day of the week.
Fans don't know how to end a story. And while Mass Effect 3's "Extended Cut" DLC may shed some much-needed light on the game's absurdly vague and nonsensical ending, it's not going to be enough to satisfy every last upset player. However, it is enough to set a nasty precedent for every game released from here on out. Gamers now know that if they complain enough about one specific thing, the developer will eventually cave and change the title to suit fan preferences.
Listening to your customers is good, but folding over when they're upset over something you did very purposefully sends the message that you don't believe in your creation. It also sounds the alarm for complainers around the world, who will be inspired to throw hissy fits about every little thing with which they take issue. BioWare didn't end Mass Effect 3 this way accidentally, so why do they feel the need to modify it?
The biggest problem with the ending isn't its imperfections, but the overwrought passion of the game's fans. If people weren't so fanatically attached to Commander Shepard, they may have been happier with the ending.
Perhaps that's the true sign of success for the folks over at BioWare. They created something so visceral and real that people simply can't bear for it to be over.
April 27, 2012 at 4:58 pm
I am not a moron and such a characterization of fans who have issue with the ending speaks a lack of understanding of the issue at hand and the people involved. I am a graduate of the United States Military Academy were I earned a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in International Strategic History and a minor track in Environmental Engineering, and I have a Master's Degree from the University of Texas El Paso. I dont know what your qualifications are but just by your fan attacking almost pandering to Bioware statements, I am left to believe that your opinion of this matter should not be taken seriously.
There are many very smart, very educated people who are Mass Effect fans and found the ending to be poorly written, lacking narrative cohesion, and of a poor quality when compared to the rest of the work as a whole. A customer, which is what we are, has a right to address complaints about the quality of a product sold to them with the company that produced it. I, and many others, have chosen to do that and it is our right. Just it is Bioware's right to not listen to us, change the ending, extend the ending or whatever. That is a business decision they get to make.
To conclude: when you can only make attacks on the people that ultimately pay and support the production of games your are not helping the games industry. I personally believe that this controversy will help the industry as a whole. Maybe we wont get rushed endings, sloppy story telling and more more content cut out of games to be sold as DLC. We can hope, and I can hope you act more mature in your writing in the future.

you can be brilliant in one thing and a complete moron in another, you're qualifications only means that you're smart in that field, it doesn't make you educated in writing or storytelling.
For the most part i think he is right about Fans. Sure calling them morons may be harsh, but I think his statement holds true, considering the whole debate of whether or not video games are a medium to be taken seriously, Mass effect is often brought up as an example that video games are capable of having good story and characters, like movies, and aren't just mindless shoot em ups. Because of this, it is important to consider the level of fan interference in video games. When it comes to other mediums, such as movies, and books, meddling with the creators work and/or demands from fans that he/she changes the story to suit their wants is generally considered disrespectful and that Studio meddling in movies that interfere with the directors vision is looked down upon. This even includes movies and books that are bad, like transformers 2. As a matter of fact I had a similar experience with this going into the movie looking forward to an entertaining, albeit dumb action flick, but instead i walked out of the movie theater pissed and disapointed. I will criticize the hell out of Michael Bay and his "directing", but I would never demand that he change his film, because it's his film and his vision. he did what he wanted to do.
And so, it is the same with my feelings with the ME3 ending, I myself have my problems with the ending,but I respect that the creator chose these decisions. My stance of video games becoming a serious medium influences the actions I would take for something I enjoy, and I think that this whole ME3 controversy definitely raises some interesting questions about video games, art and it's place as a commodity in our consumer culture. It is very much a complicated subject, even taking into regards that video games are an interactive medium, this bring up a whole other subject of how to define video games as an art form, but don't worry, I won't get into that on this page.
April 27, 2012 at 6:11 pm
wow never did i thin that someone would be stupid enough to actually Declare Fans being the problem with a Franchise….you have reached an all time low….the correct the you should have wrote….was nothing at all. Next time take your child like logic and shove it up your ass
April 27, 2012 at 8:30 pm
Wow, it seems that pouncing on the fans is the hip and cool thing to do these days. There is absolutely no way the fans are the problem here. Bioware made one giant promise to the people playing Mass Effect: Your choices mattered. Even right before ME3 was released makers of the game were QUOTED by various publications that the endings were vastly different from each other and the choices you made up to that point really made an impact. Well, it turns out they didn't. Bioware lied. It's as simple as that. And pardon my crassness, but we're supposed to just bend over and let them screw us for the sake of… what? Artistic integrity? Don't make me laugh. I would be fine with an ending I didn't particularly care for, one that even lacked cohesion and was filled with plot holes and offered up no explanations to what really happened if everything Bioware had said about the series didn't all boil down to one big lie in the end.
April 27, 2012 at 8:33 pm
I'm perfectly happy with the ending, but the problem is certainly not the fans of the franchise. That's like blaming the beer for getting you drunk. The issue at hand is that the ending requires clarification. Bioware isn't "changing" the ending. They're appending some content in the form of cutscenes to clarify what the hey happened at the end because they failed to explain it with the content supplied on disc.
Also, you're about a month late to this party.
April 27, 2012 at 8:58 pm
Why do people take things so personally? Mike said that fans, FOR THE MOST PART, are morons, and that if they were left to decide how a truly epic piece of entertainment should end… they would likely butcher, which I completely agree with. Mike also admitted, however, that the ending is flawed, he was simply making the point that BioWare purposefully put that ending into the game, and so nothing the fans say should give them cause to do anything more or less than they had intended. I was fine with the ending, other than the fact that there is a serious lack of closure in regards to what happens to the galaxy, your squadmates, and Shepard. I'm personally very pleased with the steps that BioWare is taking, but I really wouldn't have cared if they had done nothing either, since I believe they have every right to simply leave the game the way it is. Regardless of what they had done, I still regard Mass Effect 3 as one of the greatest games of this generation, and of all time.
April 27, 2012 at 9:23 pm
so…trying to get some hits by provoking people huh?…well done sir, well done.
April 28, 2012 at 3:49 am
Sir, I congratulate you on speaking the truth about Mass Effect 3 and it's over zealous fan base. Obviously, you are being a bit controversial on purpose with what you wrote, but at the core on your writing is the absolute truth. The reality is that no matter what Bioware does, people are still going to hate on them just because thats the popular thing to do now. Every since Dragon Age 2, which was a decent game, people have been coming out of the wood works to say how terrible of a company and storytellers Bioware is at the moment.
I have one question for all of those people that would say how terrible Bioware is right now. Who else is pushing the storytelling aspect of the gaming genre forward by having meaningful characters, that have a mature and deep relation with one another. Key emphasize is on mature. The only other developer I can think of is CD Projekt, the developers of The Witcher, and hopefully The Witcher 2 will be popular enough to reach critical mass for them. Short of that one company, who used Bioware's old gaming engine for The Witcher 1, there really isn't anyone else pushing deep and meaningful stories in games with mature and complex adult characters.
Mass Effect is the biggest science fiction gaming series there is and what sets it apart from other series is it's mature development of relationships with adult characters. What other company allows you to play a gay or lesbian main character in a multimillion dollar Triple A title? What other company allows you to be a minority saving the galaxy in a Triple A title? What other company has a serious female protagonist that is not just tits and ass in a Triple A title? No one is pushing forward the gaming genre the way Bioware does and what do fans do to them? They shit all over the accomplishments that Bioware has done and cry like a bitch about an ending to a game. Guess what people, plenty of great movies, books, and television series have shit endings. Stop crying over nothing and stop shitting all over Bioware. No one else is truly doing what Bioware is doing and especially not on the same scale. So just maybe we give them a little slack on a bad ending and not go crazy with filing lawsuits against them or harassing their employees. We the fans should not be the ones attempting to drag Bioware's reputation into the mud. Let's leave that to the homophobes out there that hate Bioware acknowledging that adults play their games, so they attempt to give us adults a mature storyline that respects our intelligence.

As far as I am concerned, anyone who begins an internet comment with "Sir," is a moron. I don't care which college they went to.

I think the fanbase went a bit overboard, but you can't use that as an excuse for that sorry excuse of an ending. It made next to no sense why any of that happened, unless the Indoctrination Theory is true. If so, that ending is still incomplete!
April 28, 2012 at 3:15 pm
"If people weren't so fanatically attached to Commander Shepard, they may have been happier with the ending."
Tone is slightly off, look at it this way.
No matter what, no one is happy when a hurricane destroys a heavily populated city.
It's just much worse to personally deal with if it happens to be your city and loved ones destroyed.
Mass Effect was a home.
Three's ending? Was a natural disaster.

The power always was, is and will be in the hands of the consumers in general. I think it's wonderful people finally understand this. Creators don't want to change their product ? Good. Don't change it. The problem is, it never WAS about what the creators wanted. It's what money wanted. In a world where money talks, companies can't afford to piss of their consumers, because they lose them. They lose them -> they lose money -> they lose money -> creators get fired.

"The biggest problem with the ending isn't its imperfections, but the overwrought passion of the game's fans."
Since you did say that I'll guess you agree that the ending wasn't that good. If not then we may disagree on that point. Every other point though, I'll agree with you on. I was not happy about the ME3 petition and fan outcry, definitely not happy about the extended cut either but its better than completely changing the ending (yes a clarity is always a good thing but it's good nature loses value when its forced). My reasoning is that "this" was the game Bioware/EA decided to feed us, if they feel that type of ending is worth our time and money then so be it, I'll vote with my pocket on future games.
The one thing I absolutely do not want to see is the internet rising up to petition games to change their endings. Why? Because its usually always the unsatisfied ones that are the most vocal about their dissatisfaction, which makes sense. However, what if I liked the ME3 ending or any "bad ending game"? I don't ever go out of my way to post on forums or anything like that saying how I liked a game, its always word of mouth. If some dev caved to a random petition and changed an ending I loved then where does that put me? Does that mean that the writers are telling me I liked a terrible story? Do I not know what I like anymore?
Anyways, I'll stop before I start writing an essay in this small box. If its a poor ending its a poor ending, if the writers feel its their work of art then I'm not going to force them to change their values. Its just like art paintings, there are lots out there I feel are utter crap but I wouldn't dare ask the artist to change it. The only thing I will encourage people to do is tell others of their PERSONAL experience (so many people like to parrot others ugh), be vocal sure no problem, but don't go around asking people to change an ending just because you "spent over 300 hours playing the game and the ending sucks". Use your head and vote with your wallet, I mean, its not like this is going to be the end to the mass effect franchise anyways.

Mike Foster.
You are not worth the energy to talk to/at/with in depth.
Good luck at one day being a Journalist.
(Currently you're as bad as Khalisah al-Jilani and equally as worthy of a Commander Shepard Punch.)
May 1, 2012 at 1:02 pm
Interesting, if there were a few hundred fans demanding a change theen i would agree wwith you, however at last count there are 64,000 fans signed up to the campaign. PR rules are that for every single complaint recieved there are 26 others who are disgruntled but silent. Simply put, in any other industry if 89% of consumers complained they would think there was something wrong with the product: not the consumers
May 1, 2012 at 8:44 pm
Shut up. Just shut up.
May 1, 2012 at 8:45 pm
As a writer for this site, and a fan of Mass Effect, I'm offended by this article.
I agree with most of the above criticism.
May 6, 2012 at 8:24 pm
Well your entitled to your opinion as a writer, but you seem very single minded. You obviously needed a hyped story to write about and decided to go with the Mass Effect 3 Ending rebellion that is going on with fans. In the end your statements and points came out weak, and you had to even use the word "moron" to get people to read what you have to say. (try looking up some big words, moron) I mean what did you expect from your article, a bunch of praise? All your doing is making a fool of yourself. And wasting your skills as a writer.

Latin America's Economy provides a clear, comprehensive, and accessible overview of major economic issues facing Latin America today, including balance of payments problems, inflation, stabilization, poverty, inequality, and land reform. Each chapter centers on an economic problem, presenting major economic theories about the causes and possible solutions to the problem. The authors provide numerous cross-country examples to demonstrate how individual countries are affected by economic trends or policies. Chapters also include helpful summaries and ideas on what the future may hold.
As once-powerful communist rulers flee their presidential palaces and centralized economies give way to free markets, the future of Latin America's last socialist country hangs in the balance. In a fast-paced style that is both technically sophisticated and admirably free of economic jargon, Eliana Cardoso and Ann Helwege provide a much-needed roadmap for a peaceful and productive transition from communism to capitalism. They vividly depict the tough choices facing Cuba in the years ahead, proposing a series of reforms to ease Cuba through a transition to capitalism while preserving some legitimate gains - such as those in education and health care - that socialism has provided the Cuban people.The authors begin with the crux of Cuba's predicament: it is an overly centralized single-crop economy that is fast running out of money, and it can no longer depend on privileged trade relations with the former Soviet Union. In this difficult period, Cuba faces the challenge of managing an increasingly chaotic, dysfunctional economy. Is Cuba's transition to capitalism bound to yield another Haiti?Cardoso and Helwege answer with a resounding no. They begin their analysis with a fascinating history of the political roots of Cuba, from Cuban "independence" after the Spanish-American War to the rise of Castro and the development of a socialist economy. After discussing the various economic alternatives from neighboring countries - models as diverse as those of Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Chile - the authors present a systematic program to help Cuba prevent economic decline and political chaos, involving rapid privatization and the attraction of foreign investment - while at the same time providing safeguards against the excesses and inequalities endemic to Latin American capitalism.Eliana Cardoso is Associate Professor of Economics at the Fletcher School of Law and Dipolomacy, and Ann Helwege is Assistant Professor in the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy, both at Tufts University. They are authors of an undergraduate text, Latin America's Economy: Diversity, Trends, and Conflicts.

Philosophical Horizons: Introductory Readingsby Steven M. Cahn Maureen Eckert
Explores the central issues of philosophy through an engaging combination of classic and contemporary sources. With over seventy non-technical readings, the editors of PHILOSOPHICAL HORIZONS have put together the easiest to follow and yet most informative philosophy selections ever. Unlike any other introductory anthology, you can read fully annotated masterpieces from the history of philosophy in their entirety, including Plato's Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito, the Encheiridion of Epictetus, Descartes's Meditations, Berkeley's Treatise, Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding and Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, Kant's Groundwork, Mill's Utilitarianism, James's The Will to Believe, and Sartre's The Humanism of Existentialism. These are juxtaposed with related work from contemporary philosophers so that you can experience how the issues raised in these classic works of philosophy are debated in contemporary times.

Anti-Semitism in Tinseltown
Almost exactly four years ago, director/actor Mel Gibson was pulled over by a cop in L.A. on suspicion of driving while three sheets to the wind, an ancient nautical term for being drunk as a skunk.
Mad Mel let loose a memorable, obscene tirade almost as memorable and obscene as his taped conversations with former lover Oksana Grigorieva. Back in 2006, however, the object of his disaffection was not slutty behavior on the part of his former lover but the militaristic behavior on the part of an entire people, Jews.
"Jews are responsible for all the war in the world," he allegedly said to a police officer among other F-word-laced, no doubt slurred comments.
Gibson subsequently apologized profusely and, if not forgiven, was dismissed as yet another anti-Semite.
It must have something to do with the weather this time of year out on the Left Coast or due to something in the water supplied by the L.A. Department of Water and Power but another Hollywood type has just ripped those same people.
This time it was a liberal darling, none other than screen writer/director/iconoclast Oliver Stone, a man who has devoted much of his career to puncturing holes in American beliefs and values. Stone went much further in ripping Jews than Gibson ever dreamed of doing in his frank remarks to the Sunday London Times. Among his gems: . . .

New Files added to a patch are not installed
|Created: 2005-09-12
|Updated: 2006-11-10
|Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO2055
Files that changed in the Patch .MSI are not being updated when creating a patch using the Patch Creation wizard. The version number in Add or Remove Programs is updating the version number correctly which shows the patch ran. There are no errors when running the patch.
In order for the Patch creation tool to successfully create a patch, ensure that the new files are added to a new component. If new files are added to an existing component, the files may not be updated during the patch creation.
Verify that the new files are in their own new component by adding them into a separate feature, or following these steps:
- After adding the files to the project go to the Files table of Setup Editor.
- Make note of the components that the new files were added to by checking the Components column on the row that the file was located in.
- Go to the Components tab in Setup Editor.
- Locate the components that were listed in the Files table.
- Ensure that these new files are not added to existing components.
If the files are in a component that had existing files:
- Right-click on the top component icon, right-click and select New > Component.
- Name the component a name that is meaningful to what it contains.
- Expand the component that contains the new file until you see the file on the right.
- Drag the new file from the existing component into the new component.
To verify the patch contains the new files, look at the .MSP file in Orca to see if the file is included by browsing to the .MSI first, then selecting Transform > View Patch.

Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway has stated that he will "not support any settlement of the robo signing mortgage foreclosure case that would give expanded civil or criminal immunity to banks or their executives." Details of the settlement that may be announced as soon as next week are starting to leak. If the leaks are accurate, Mr. Conway and a tiny handful of like minded attorneys general may soon be heroes to the cause of fighting the Wall Street influence.

This is a basic water-soluble cleanser for normal to slightly dry or slightly oily skin. An olive oil–derived ingredient is part of the formula, but any potential benefit from the antioxidants is rinsed down the drain. Still, the oil portion will help dissolve makeup while keeping skin smooth and soft during cleansing.
Deep cleans and leaves skin feeling moisturized. This cleanser deep cleans to gently remove dirt and make-up and helps maintain skin's moisture balance.

St. Ives At-A-Glance
Strengths: A couple of water-soluble cleansers, a gentle microdermabrasion alternative; some good, inexpensive body lotions; excellent hand cream.
Weaknesses: Overly abrasive scrubs; ineffective anti-acne products; dated moisturizer; overall, the facial-care products are substandard, even if they are inexpensive.
Two things set this line apart in the minds of consumers familiar with the brand: the Swiss angle and their apricot face scrubs. This notoriety didn't translate to thoughtfully formulated products, though. Instead, most of the scrubs are too abrasive, and the apricot is simply there as an extract, never mind that in a scrub it doesn't have any significant benefit for skin. The same can be said of the selection of supposedly Swiss-based herbs. Most of them have soothing properties, but it doesn't matter to skin if the ingredients came from Switzerland or South Dakota. If anything, the whole Swiss angle is getting a bit tired. You can bet that there are no scientists working high in the Swiss alps to formulate these products. St. Ives is a line with very little worth considering, so feel free to breeze right by as you shop for skin-care products at your local drugstore.

Situation Ethics
Episode date: October 04, 2011
Transcript published:
Situation ethics has become the norm for our times, having replaced the biblical ethics of past generations. In situation ethics as long as no one is hurt one can do as one pleases. Taking drugs, watching pornography, and aborting the unborn child all can come under the flag of situation ethics.
Taking drugs is seen as morally neutral by increasing numbers of Americans. We believe no one is hurt by our drug use, while refusing to see the obvious connection between our drug purchases and the mass-killings in Mexico by drug cartels that are in the business because of the demand for drugs by American users.
Nothing wrong with watching…

A Healthy Soul Is One That Seeks Out Silence
Episode date: December 09, 2011
Transcript published:
A healthy soul is one that seeks out silence. We are addicted to noise. We find it impossible to drive our vehicles without the radio on or a CD playing. Our televisions are running from the moment we return from work. We run with earphones filling our minds with music. We even walk with friends while listening to our own music.
We live as though we are afraid of silence. As little children who have to sleep with a nightlight on, our reasons for filling our hours with noise are varied. Some find silence disturbing and a reminder that they are alone. Others use noise as a way of keeping out the sounds of the city or the voices…

Bodily Suffering
Episode date: December 26, 2011
Transcript published:
Elder Ambrose of Optina Monastery said:
We should not forget that in our age of sophistication, even little children are spiritually harmed by what they see and hear. As a result, purification is required and this is only accomplished through bodily suffering. You must understand that paradisal bliss is granted to no one without suffering. A person has salvation, not only by his good deeds, but also by his patient suffering of various griefs, illnesses, misfortunes and failures (Luke 16:19-31, Mark 8:31-38, Romans 6:3-11, Hebrews 12:1-3).

Pets as Gifts from God
Every evening I try to spend an hour or so in the library, sitting in front of the fire place. Our beloved Norwegian Forest Cat, Hammi, sleeps in the library/community room every night. Hammi is as happy as he can be when the entire monastic brotherhood is gathered together with him. He's an important member of our community, loved by all of us, and the only cat I know who has his own Facebook fan page, started by a woman who met him on a pilgrimage to the monastery (if memory is correct).
The first time met Hammi, a large male cat, [was] as I was walking between our old trailer house (now gone) and…

Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind…

Historical Traveler Reviews Encore Bed and Breakfast Boston
One of the Best B and B's in Boston
I cannot say enough about the time we had at Encore, it will bring us back to Boston over any other city. We stayed the 19th to the 21st of February, and will stay longer next time. Everything was perfect; the privacy, the light conversation, the simple, delicious breakfast, the delightful hosts, and the room! Rooms are designed with a contemporary atmosphere, very tasteful, and filled with light; a refreshing departure from most inns/hotels. We stayed in the Sondheim room, and loved it. The hosts always made us comfortable, we honestly felt as though we were staying with friends. Thank you very much R and D!
A Great Choice for Exploring Boston
Encore is a lovely, comfortable place in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood. I was on a business trip and enjoyed being out of the soul-less hotel and able to get away from the convention center. Blocks from the T, which gets you everywhere and close to tons of charming and delicious cafes, bistros and groceries, Encore is a great choice. The host is kind, makes great coffee and appreciates your privacy. Perfect for arts fans. I stayed in the Bernstein room on the 2nd floor, I'm up by 8, so I didnt mind any breakfast noise (that is served next door) but request a 3rd floor room if you want to sleep in. I'll be back!
My wife and I stayed at the Encore B&B from March 4-March 8. It is located within short walk of Hynes Convention Center-Copley Square. Great restaurants right around corner on Tremont Street, also fun botiques. We stayed in the Albee Suite, the room was beautiful. Breakfasts were great and Reinhold treated us more like treasured relatives than paying customers. We ate like Royalty and enjoyed our stay immensly. We have stayed in B&Bs all over and this one rates as one of the best. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email me.
Already looking forward to breakfast...
We couldn't have picked a better place to become engaged. The Jumbotron at Fenway said, "Janet will you marry me?"She said yes, and the Sox scored 8 runs before the inning was over. An omen to a perefct weekend... you bet. But mostly in part to the Encore B&B. After checking into the Albee room, we walked to Fenway because the neighborhood was condusive to doing so and centrally located to all of the sights. The room was cleverly appointed and had such a great vibe. I had been planning this trip for months... it just had to be perfect. And thanks to our great hosts at the Encore, it was. Breakfast was really something to look forward to. And what a great place to come home to after a romantic dinner. We came from Tennessee and could have stayed anywhere, given the nature of our trip. But we chose to roll the dice on the Encore, and couldn't have been any luckier. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer. One weekend wasn't enough. We're coming again this summer to celebrate our anniversary, and the first thing I did, even prior to getting hard-to-get Red Sox tickets, was finding out if Reinhold had availability. We're already looking forward to unpacking... and oh yes, that fabulous breakfast.
Mark and Janet, from Tennessee...
Cozy, charming B+B
Located in the historic South End, on a residential block of charming brick facade townhouses, the Encore B+B is a great find. We stayed in the Bernstein Room on the second floor. The modern decor (think Design Within Reach) contrasted nicely with the exposed brick walls. Most sights are within walking distance and the T is quite close by (Prudential or Back Bay) as well.
The inn keeper, Reinhold, makes a wonderful breakfast to order each morning. He was very kind to us, offering directions, recommendations and unobtrusive conversation.
If you are not an early riser, you might want to consider one of the 2 rooms on the top floor. The Bernstein is right next to the kitchen, where breakfast is prepared and there is a bit of extra noise. We are early risers, so this was not an issue for us.
A great B&B
What a fantastic B&B, and a great location in the South End of the city. We stayed in the Bernstein Room at the back of the house. It was suprisingly large, with a ensuite bathroom. It was also very well decorated. Our hosts were exceptional with the help they gave in transporting us to our next stay. Breakfast was first class. The only downside i would mention here is the timing in having breakfast. As the table only seated 4 people, and 6 or more were staying at the B&B, we did clash at one sitting. However this was resloved quickly by Tea & Coffee being served in our room until the table was free for us to sit down. I would therefore suggest a time option added to the Breakfast requirement list, to avoid this happening in the future. Otherwise this B&B was a gem to have found. And i will certainly be returnning there in the future.
Encore, Encore, Encore.....
My girlfriend and I spent a weekend at Encore B&B and absolutely adored it. Very well decorated with clean facilities, excellent service, delicious breakfast, beautiful location, and romantic. We felt very much at home while staying at this B&B and would recommend it to any and everyone. Everything about this place was perfect, all the way down to our room having EIGHT wall outlets, more than enough for the techies such as myself. We didn't want to leave....
TIP: Ask for the Albee Room with the Balcony, it has a beautiful front view of the neighborhood.
New York, NY
Good spot; great rooms; lovely breakfast
A beautifully put together B&B in a swish part of town. The hosts are friendly, and the place is very peaceful.
I've stayed in two of the three guest rooms, and both were quite something. With so few rooms, it's a quiet place with very personal service. The catch, for some people, will be occasionally ending-up eating breakfast around a table with other guests. Depending on your point-of-view, and state of wakefulness, you'll either enjoy chatting with others or wish there was another table. Having said that, the group breakfast's a common experience in American and Canadian B&Bs.
The area's very pleasant, safe, and easy to reach; the subway's a 10-minute walk up the road. The houses look like they came straight out of 'Ally McBeal', and round-the-corner are some lovely restaurants and coffee houses. The library next door has free net access too - which is good if, like me, you don't want to spend a fortune on net cafes.
The rooms are well designed: one of the hosts is an architect, and it shows. The morning brekkie selection includes a gorgeous granola/yoghurt concoction and great coffee.
All in all, it's excellent - if a little pricey. But, for a luxurious and intimate spot in Boston, I'd recommend it.
The Cast at Encore!
Upon my first visit to Encore B&B I discovered I needn't look anywhere else! Being a frequent visitor it feels like coming home each time. The sleek design of the rooms are both relaxing and inviting. The breakfast nook offers the opportunity to meet interesting travellers from all over while enjoying a variety of breakfast choices. Reinhold does a splendid job of entertaining his guests and pointing out sites & activities in and around the city. And when it comes time to leave, you feel like you're bidding adieu to friends - but not for long, it's just au revoir until the next time!

Holidays are tough!
First 4th of July without my Mom. She passed away 3 months ago. I didn't even feel like having a get together except the 4th is my son's birthday, so...It makes me so sad to see all of the changes taking place-my Mom gone, my mother in law battling cancer, my dad and his wife showing up for cookouts now because my Mom isn't here. My kids are growing up, it's just all so different. I wish I could go back in time and embrace what I had before it was gone! Sometimes I miss my Mom so much I just want to scream! The thought that she will never be at another family get together is too sad for me to even comprehend! Thanks for listening!
Deb, I know how hard it is for you. I had the same feeling on the 4th. I was super busy with my business so that did help some....but I just wanted to go back to being 10 years old again...holding a sparkler...being with my mom and family, friends and neighbors. Barbequing and laughter. Kids playing ball and looking forward to the fireworks. Yes, it's different now. It never will be the same again. Only memories, which are comforting on the one hand and painful at the same time. Knowing times will never be what they were. Just know your mom is in heaven and it is wonderful. She doesn't want you to be sad. You will be together again when the time is at hand. She is in a land of joy and light with immeasurable happiness. Try to remember that and be happy for her, even when you must feel bad for yourself stuck on this rock called Earth.
I'm feeling more and more like that as time goes on and we keep losing family members. I miss the past so much. We used to always be getting together doing things whether it was a holiday or not. Nothing is the same anymore. I miss the past and my loved ones so much. I do look forward to the day that we are all together again and I am happy for those who can enjoy heaven now. Just miss them a lot and life is hard without them.
Hi Deb
i know just how you feel. i lost my husband almost 2 1/2 years ago. we changed all the national holidays around for us the first year and started new traditions. lasgna for Easter? well we did it. our son's birthday and our daughters birthday, well they stayed the same. Christmas, well we didn'y put a tree and we had it on december 23. and did church on dec. 25 like usual. this past year we did have a tree and bought all new decorations, my Al loved Christmas. Nothing will be the same anymore, but we know that we will get thru it and that Al is watching us and knows that we miss him and that he can be proud of us.
