I think Mr. "Fack the fed" has it spot on. :) I agree with him on this one.
I don't think anything will stop me watching the WWE. It's my whole childhood right there.. It's the thing that no matter if I'm happy or sad I can watch and normally 9 times out of 10 I enjoy. So nothing changes for me personally as I will keep on watching.
As for the idea of giving TNA a try. I'm not a big fan of TNA, I have tried to watch it a few times and I'm not going to bash them or anything, it's just not for me. I enjoy some of the matches because they have some good talented guys but I think my "loyalty" if I can use that word too the WWE will always stop me enjoying another wrestling company.
EDIT: Just to clarify, ever since I was a boy.. I used to see the WWE as a team I would support (Hence the loyalty thing), I never watched ECW or WCW and me and my mates (Who supported/followed the other companies) Would share banter and brag about how Stone Cold could beat Goldberg or how this show was better then this show and so on.
Thanks THBK!! FACK you very much! ;)
I don't see why there should be any problem with GG making this thread. Who knows, maybe discussion will lead to understanding and acceptance and she'll find her way back. But that's a bit hard when 'fans' start sidetracking the main issue. It's not productive really, is it?
Even though many of us enjoyed the Attitude Era and even the pre-attitude era and ruthless aggression era for that matter a bit more then today's product I for one still find the current product enjoyable as there's something for everyone. Yeah some of the angles/promos they do they are ridiculous but it could be a lot worse. The later years of WCW are a prime example of that.
As for giving TNA a chance, I have. I watch TNA on a weekly basis like many others. Just like WWE there's some good and some bad to their product.
If a person doesn't find the product interesting that's all they have to do is stop watching, there's plenty of other programming on to choose from. If you don't find WWE/TNA enjoyable start looking up some of the programming from the indy scene up on the internet. You may find that more enjoyable then WWE/TNA.
It's almost impossible to avoid commenting on some of these threads. Of course WWE owes us something! They owe us to put on a good show to keep us watching to keep us buying their crap and purchase their PPVs!! It's not like oh we did that for you so now forever and ever you must keep us happy. No! It's so we keep buying their stuff!!! As fans, if they don't hold up their end of the bargain we unfortunately have to stop watching and stop buying. If you keep watching and buying PPVs but bitch about everything that happens realize you are part of the problem.
I loved WWE but I bailed when they did the brand split and drafts. I've kept myself informed enough about what's been going on but I haven't been a regular watcher since then. If you don't like it, don't watch until you are going to like it. WWE could win me back but every time I try they fail.
You're a consumer. Basically that means you are a mark; a sucker; a buyer. You're not owed anything. Get real.
On point, I was more of a JCP, WCCW, and WCW kid growing up in the south. WWF had some characters but they weren't that impressive in the ring. That being said, I have always followed WWF/E since my family have been such die-hard wrestling enthusiasts and I can tell you that WWE has always been a more kid friendly product than most give it credit for. Think about the top 10 "gimmicks" pre-2000 and the majority stem from WWF history. Hell, WCW tried to capitalize on this same market by creating the Dungeon of Doom vs. Hogan battle. WWF has been very good about focusing their product to a younger generation and the only time in their history that they stepped away from this was during the Attitude Era. This wasn't a choice that VKM willingly made; he was forced into it because his company was losing its fan base. If not for Bischoff's direct approach of trying to bury the WWE, VKM (my assumption) would have continued on the path he was on and people would not have this notion that somehow the WWE programming is meant to be aimed at young adults.
I am almost 30 years old and I haven't been a regular fan of WWE in about 5 years (I'd say after the VKM explosion/Benoit event/Guerrero death) but I can't say that they have a "bad" product; it just isn't geared to my taste. I have always been more about the in ring action and WWE has always been about the storylines, so naturally TNA was a proper fit from day 1. I have followed ever since and while they have a lot of work to do with storyline cohesion, they are much better in terms of having longer storylines that make more sense than what it was with Russo at the helm. However I am the type of fan who is more willing to be forgiving of things such as Bully Ray being a face because I see the end result of his heel turn, and so long as the in-ring action lives up to my expectations, I can deal with flaws in the storyline. That being said, if some find themselves critical of WWE for their storylines, TNA might not be the right choice as they "have" storylines, but their focus is based on the in ring.

The Reverse Matthew Effect: Catastrophe and Consequence in Scientific Teams
Ginger Zhe Jin, Benjamin Jones, Susan Feng Lu, Brian Uzzi
NBER Working Paper No. 19489
What are the individual rewards to working in teams? This question extends across many production settings but is of long-standing interest in science and innovation, where the "Matthew Effect" suggests that eminent team members garner credit for great works at the expense of less eminent team members. In this paper, we study this question in reverse, examining highly negative events - article retractions. Using the Web of Science, we investigate how retractions affect citations to the authors' prior publications. We find that the Matthew Effect works in reverse - namely, scientific misconduct imposes little citation penalty on eminent coauthors. By contrast, less eminent coauthors face substantial citation declines to their prior work, and especially when they are teamed with an eminent author. A simple Bayesian model is used to interpret the results. These findings suggest that a good reputation can have protective properties, but at the expense of those with less established reputations.

Galaxy Railways, The DVD Box Set (Hyb) - Viridian Collection - S.A.V.E. Edition
Ron Frechette - Aug 14 2009 email@example.com
Rating: Wonderful!
Trains! Space! Explosions! It can't be bad!
I've just spent an hour trying not to sound pretentious about this show. Specifically, because it is the kind of show that pretentious critics rip for being too stereotypical.
Have you seen shows like this before? Sure. Have they been this good? Probably not.
Has Matsumoto himself done shows like this before? Certainly. Has he made any this good? Not in decades. (Besides, what did Nabeshin say about Matumoto's typical heroine? "Sure you've seen her before, but how could you hate her?")
This show is not stereotypical, it is archetypical, and archetypes are archetypes because they work, and because they speak to us.
There is a twist at the end of the first episode that nearly floored me, and by the end of the series characters are engaging in the types of magnificently futile heroics you only find in Homer.
Is comparing anime to the Illiad over the top? Maybe, but I can't think of anything else that compares to Vega Platoon's last stand. This is not the cheap Star Wars clone people seem to want all decent space opera to be, this is much more.
Is there some cheese here? Yes, but oh what delicious cheese it is, right down to the overly dramatic opening theme (is that Isao Sasaki?), and overly whistful closing, this is five year old, cave aged, extra stinky French cheese - yes that's a good thing.
One final note: John Gremillion is amazing as the conflicted Captain Bulge, but in the final episode when he says "I'm very proud to be your captain." as our heroes rush toward almost certain doom - I've only been so moved once before by a film: Kenneth Brannaugh's performance of Henry V's Agincourt speech. It is a good deal shorter, but just as powerful. I wanted to join the Space Defense Force right then and there.

Ohio Valley Conference Records
Eastern Kentucky University ArchivesRichmond, Kentucky 40475-3102
This collection is open for research.
[Identification of item], Ohio Valley Conference Records Collection, 1947-1985, University Archives, Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond.
27.8 cubic feet, 40,500 items, 57 boxes, 2 wrapped items
The idea of forming the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) was originated in 1941 but could not be implemented until after World War I. In 1948 five schools, Eastern Kentucky, Morehead State, Murray State, Western Kentucky, and Louisville, withdrew from the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and, along with Evansville, formed the original membership of the Ohio Valley Conference - so named because the Ohio River touched the states from which the league drew, or hoped to draw, members. The six charter OVC members were soon joined in this new league by Tennessee Tech and Marshall.
Louisville withdrew from the Conference in 1949 and Marshall being replaced by Middle Tennessee in 1952, East Tennessee and Austin Peay in 1962. In 1979, Akron replaced East Tennessee and was joined by Youngstown State in 1980. Western Kentucky withdrew in 1982. In 1986 Tennessee State became the Conference's newest member. Akron withdrew membership in 1987 and Youngstown State will withdraw in 1988.
The OVC has held automatic qualification for the NCAA Basketball Tournament since 1955. At that time, it was only second six-team league to be awarded an automatic bid. The OVC has had a number of team and individual successes over the years but the past six have seen three conference members claim national championships; Eastern Kentucky in 1-AA football (1979-1982), Tennessee Tech in NCAA Rifle (1980, 1981), and Murray State in NCAA Rifle in 1985.
Official championship competition in the OVC is held in six men's sports: football, cross country, basketball, baseball, golf, and tennis and four women's sports: cross country, basketball, volleyball, and tennis. Allsports are conducted within NCAA Division 1 except football, which is I-AA.
Arthur L. Guepe served as the OVC's first commissioner, from 1963 to 1975. He was succeeded by former administrator and coach at South Carolina and LSU, Paul Dietzel, who held the post for a year at which time Robert Vanatta, former athletic administrator at Oral Roberts, assumed the position. James E. Delaney became the league's fourth commissioner in July of 1979 and serves in the post today. Jon Verner was named the OVC's first full-time information director in August of 1979. At the 1980 Spring meeting of the Ohio Valley Conference, presidents of the member institutions designated Eastern Kentucky University Archives as the official depository for the conference's older records of continuing and enduring historical and administrative value.
*Information taken from Handbook of the OVC, 1986-87, p.5.
The purpose of the OVC, as set forth in its constitution is, "to regulate, control and promote all recognized branches of intercollegiate athletics in its member institutions. Member institutions of the Ohio Valley Conference regard the athletic program as part of the educational process... it is the college's responsibility to exercise control of the athletic program and keep it within the bounds of an educational activity."
Copyright has not been assigned to Eastern Kentucky University.
The Media Series consists of one box that our audio cassettes, one VCR tape, and a film covering the years 1965-1977. Taped minutes of OVC meetings and game highlights and films are just some of the interesting subjects in this series.
The Minutes Series consists of two boxes of minutes from OVC meetings. Also in this series are letters and papers that set the date, time, and agenda of the meetings. The in this series cover the years 1962 to 1982 and are arranged chronologically.
The Photographs Series consists of one box of eleven foliders arranged alphabetically and containing photographs that are arranged alphabetically by subject. The photographs in this series deal with the Ohio Valley Conference and its member institutions. Sports facility, important individuals, and groups are all subject matter of this series. Some of themore prominent photos are those of the 1975 OVC Biographiical Committee which included Roy Stewart, Kelly Thompson, anc Charles "Turkey" Hughes; Paul Dietzel, former OVC commssioner; Lake Kelly, basketball coach of Austin Peay; and Roy Kidd, football coach of Eastern Kentucky.
The Publications Series consists of five boxes which contain such items as press releases, sports media guides, and OVC Basketball Scorebooks. The records date back to 1948 and continue up through 1981. Interesting facts discussed in this series include the 1982 Middle Tennessee victory over the University of Kentucky in the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament, the Tennessee Tech national rifle championship of 1981, and the 1979 I-AA Football National Championship by Eastern Kentucky University. All materials are arranged alphabetically by subject and chronologically therein.
The Scrapbook Series contains two scrapbooks of newspaper clipping covering the years 1975 to 1980 which deal with the OVC and its member institutions. The two scrapbooks have such interesting news clippings as those of Paul Dietzel, Bob Vanatta and James Delany all being announced as OVC commisioner. The books also contain clippings of Rhetta Froedge, first woman football player in the OVC (Western Kentucky University), Phil Simms, SuperBowl XXI MVP (Morehead State), and Otis Howard, OVC basketball player of the year for 1977 (Austin Peay).
The Subject Series contains 45 boxes of papers that detail the everyday workings of the Ohio Valley Conference and its commissioner's office. A large part of the series consists of participation, grant-in-aid, and eligibility lists of the institutions. Lists from 1963-1979 are found for most of the schools although some may be missing. Another interesting part of the series is administration, athletic director, baseball, basketball, and football folders from every institution that was a member from 1960-1979. These folders are filled with information on scheduling of sports events, scheduling of conference meetings, and general correspondence. Folders that contain inter-conference letters of intent are also present from 1963-1977. Each conference posts lists of these letters of intent and this series contains lists for most of the major conferences from 1973-1977.
Illegal recruiting is a problem all across the nation. When OVC cases are brought out into the open, either the Ohio Valley. Conference or the NCAA makes a ruling on the eligibility of the student and the school he is attending. This series contains some of the more memorable cases in OVC history. These cases include: the Herman Carter Case, the Chris Bedard Case, the Terry Vanzant Case, and the Giersberg Case.
The total period of this series is from 1947-1985. It very accurately tells a working history of hte Ohio Valley Conference. Everday correspondence, letters, and notes are all contained in the Subject Series which is arranged alphabetically by subject and chronologically therein.

Michelle Obama to DC: Getting to Know You
WASHINGTON Michelle Obama said it: Washington is her home now and she wants to get to know it. She is making the rounds, meeting federal workers at Cabinet departments, reading to children, chatting with teens, touring a neighborhood health center, dropping in at Howard University and enjoying family night at the Kennedy Center. She's even splashed across the cover of the March issue of Vogue, with a headline that proclaims her "The First Lady the World's Been Waiting For."
That was just the first two weeks of February.
The first lady who had seemed to suggest she'd take her time settling in to her new role is off to a fast start – like a cannonball, in the words of Letitia Baldrige, who served as social secretary to Jacqueline Kennedy.
"We were taught that you have to get to know the community that you're in, and you have to be a part of that community, you have to get to know it in order to, you know, actively engage in it," Mrs. Obama told a teenager at Mary's Center, a community health center in the Adams Morgan neighborhood, who asked why she was visiting.
"And D.C. is our community now. It's our home," she said.
Her trips outside the gated White House compound serve several purposes, including giving her a chance to learn about the complexities of a city she decided against relocating to after Barack Obama became a senator in 2005.
His presidency has brought her, and their 10- and 7-year-old daughters, here now. And, Mrs. Obama's mother migrated, too, to provide crucial backup in taking care of Sasha and Malia.
"Our first job as new members of this community is to listen, and to learn and to be thankful and grateful for what people have already done," Mrs. Obama said at Howard, where excited students jockeyed for a glimpse of the first lady.
Except, the president is "real busy right now. So I figured, well, I got a little time on my hands, and, you know, while the kids are at school I want to come out and hear about the programs. I want to meet the students," she said at Mary's Center.
Mrs. Obama is acting as an ambassador to the public, another set of eyes and ears for the president.
She set out on a listening tour of the federal bureaucracy on Feb. 2, promising to go from agency to agency "to learn, to listen, to take information back where possible" and meet "our new co-workers and our new neighbors."
She's met scores of government workers, many of whom waited in line for hours at the departments of Education, Housing and Urban Development, and Interior, for the chance to see her and hear what she had to say.
On these pep rally-like visits, where she thanks federal workers for their service, she boosts the spirits of a group that sometimes felt neglected by the previous administration. She doubles as Obama's salesman, and has been explaining how money from his $787 billion economic recovery package will affect their work.

Have shell, will travel
Fossilized tracks left by early land-dwelling animals reveal they brought shells ashore
By Stephen Ornes, 00:00 AM April 24, 2009
A creature much like a modern hermit crab likely made these tracks 500 million years ago.
|W. Hagadorn
Many modern animals, like crabs, live in shells and carry their homes around with them. Picture one of these animals in your mind, and you may have some idea of what the first land-dwelling animals looked like. After studying strange marks that accompany some sets of ancient fossil footprints, scientists recently suggested that the oldest creatures to crawl out of the ocean probably wore ...

Jake Wolfe and Park Wiley
Every scene with Park Wiley just seems to keep getting better and better, which is saying a lot since they are all scorchers! This time we paired him up with Jake Wolfe who's had our members howling for more based on his past performances. Sure, they may have met before during the "Summer Bareback Orgy" and the "KOK Car Wash", but they couldn't wait to get at each other one on one. As with any scene with the two of them there is plenty of kissing before they move on to other things; namely sucking and fucking the shit out of each other.

Bush Administration Congress Executive Branch House Parties Public Policy Regulations Senate Taxes
SEC chairman Harvey Pitt lurches from lapdog to bulldog, threatening
CEOs with jail time if their corporate reports mislead. George Bush
demands "top floor" accountability. Republican leaders in the House
muscle their own caucus members into passing a sham prescription drug
The run-up to the fall elections has begun. Barely a month ago, White
House political guru Karl Rove was telling Republicans they could retain
control of Congress by waving the flag, celebrating the recovery and
promoting an ill-defined "compassion agenda." Now, with the dollar and
the stock market sinking, the recovery looking shaky and Vice President
Cheney back in hiding as investigations widen into accounting deceptions
at his former company, Halliburton, Republicans are getting nervous.
Americans don't want the war on terrorism turned to partisan purpose,
pollster Stan Greenberg informed a Campaign for America's Future press
briefing, "and they want this election to be about their own pressing
concerns"--the soaring price of healthcare, educating their children,
paying for college, decent jobs with good benefits and whether they can
afford to retire now that their 401(k) has become a 201(k).
At such a moment, progressive reforms are not only good policy but good
politics. Add a real prescription drug provision to Medicare. Get
serious about cracking down on HMOs. Invest in teachers, schools and
after-school care and help with college tuition; pay for it by closing
down offshore tax havens and making billionaires pay what they did
before George W. Bush cut their taxes. Raise the minimum wage and curb
excessive executive pay packages. Protect workers' pensions and
prosecute corrupt corporate executives. Save Social Security from
privatization's benefit cuts. Stop fast-track trade authority and demand
trade accords that strengthen rather than diminish worker, farmer and
environmental protections. Make polluters pay for cleaning up their
toxic wastes instead of sending the bill to taxpayers and slowing the
The popularity of these reforms has led Republicans to add political
cross-dressing to the Rove strategy: Hug a tree, hang a CEO, don't say
the word "privatization." Whether they can get away with this is
unclear. It's a bit like putting pearl earrings on a sow. It's an
all-too-real prospect, however, at a time when Democrats control the
Senate but fast track passes easily, when Senator Ted Kennedy still has
trouble getting fellow Democrats to sign on for a rewrite of Bush's
fundamentally flawed tax plan, and when Democratic Leadership
Council-addled "money Democrats" blur the differences between the
If Democrats hope to win in 2002, they will have to do it the
old-fashioned way--by running as Democrats. And labor, community, civil
rights, women's and environmental groups will have to give them a push
in the right direction--just as they did with the successful effort to
keep the GOP from enacting a permanent repeal of the estate tax. Rove
and his army of strategists are masters at filling the narrow cracks
between the GOP and "kinder, gentler" Democrats. Only by opening a
significant divide between themselves and the GOP can the Democrats
emerge as the alternative that Rove and his minions fear--and that the
voters are ready to embrace.
"How long do I have?" James Pierson asked, trying to maintain eye
contact with the man behind the desk.
"Three months, eleven days, seven hours and forty-three minutes,"
David Barnett said.
"That specific?"
"Well, it's now the afternoon of August 19, 2010," Barnett said. "We're
advising people not to wait until the very last day. December 31 is a
time when there can be a certain amount of New Year's Eve chaos at
hospitals, and that could put the death certificate over until next
year, or at least muddy the waters if there's a question that ends up in
court. So, getting it done in 2010, if you're being prudent, means
getting it done before December 31, or three months, eleven days, seven
hours and forty-three minutes from now."
Pierson swallowed. He found the phrase "getting it done" off-putting.
Finally, he said, "I don't suppose there's a chance that this could be
"Well, in theory there's always a chance," Barnett said. "The Democrats
could come back after recess and announce that they've changed their
minds, and, despite everything they've said in the nine years since
2001, they're going to make the repeal of the inheritance tax permanent,
but I don't think it would be wise to count on that happening."
"So it's now or never is what you're saying?" Pierson said.
"Well, it's this year or never. Look, under the provisions of the
original law, the exemption has been raised and the rates lowered every
year for the past nine years. It would have been shortsighted to die in
order to take advantage of any of those tax reductions, because this
year the tax is gone altogether. But the law still has its sunset
provision: It fades away on December 31, 2010, unless it's renewed. So,
given the Democratic majorities in both houses and the current deficit,
it's likely that starting January 1, 2011, the estate tax will be the
same as it was before the rates started coming down. From a tax
liability standpoint, there is no alternative to taking advantage of
this window of opportunity."
"No alternative?"
"Look, Jim," Barnett said, "Why are you in the business you're in?"
"Because the company had enormous paper losses that saved me a bundle in
taxes and the only thing it actually owned was shares in some airliners
that we depreciated the hell out of before we fobbed them off on some
bush airline in Central America."
"And why do you drive the vehicle you drive, even though the dozer
attachment makes it difficult to park in any space smaller than the
Wal-Mart parking lot?"
"Because we can write it off as farm equipment, of course," Pierson
"This is my point," Barnett said. "You've always run your life according
to what makes sense from a tax-liability standpoint. You have a vacation
condo in Louisiana, where you exist in what amounts to a steam bath all
summer, because it's in a development that juts out into the gulf and we
figured out how to depreciate it as a shrimp boat. You and Margaret
tried to time the birth of your children for late December to get an
extra year's deduction. You've planted a lot of weird-looking trees so
we could have your backyard declared an experimental forest and take a
$14,000 loss every year, not to mention deducting what you pay the kid
to mow the lawn. I'm just your tax consultant, Jim. But it seems to me
that if you don't take advantage of the 2010 window, you wouldn't be
"I'd be alive, of course," Pierson said. "There's that."
"But don't you see: You'd just be living for the government," Barnett
said. "Just because you live past 2010, 50 percent of your estate will
go right into Uncle Sam's pocket. What's the point?"
"Fifty percent!" Pierson blurted out--and then, before he realized what
he was saying, added, "I'd sooner die than give the government 50
"Exactly!" Barnett said.
Pierson was silent for a while. Then, his voice still tentative, he
said, "Have you been making any suggestions about method? When you said
'window of opportunity' a moment ago..."
"No, no," Barnett said. "What we're recommending is a high-quality
hunting rifle. It's dependable, easy to operate and almost certain to be
completely undamaged by the incident, so that it can be passed on in
mint condition to the heirs--who, of course, would pay absolutely no
inheritance tax on it."
"A high-quality hunting rifle would be rather expensive," Pierson said.
"I don't suppose..."
"Yes, we believe that under a loophole in a rider to the Reserve Officer
Training Act, as rewritten in 1978, we have a way to deduct it," Barnett
said, "as long as you register your cellar as an Alternate Emergency
Munitions Collection Point."
Pierson nodded his head silently, and then said, "I wouldn't imagine..."
"Yes," Bartlett said. "We believe we've figured out a way that your
heirs could depreciate the hunting rifle."
"Over ten or fifteen years?"
"Six years," Bartlett said, beaming with pride.
"Six years!" Pierson said.
"Wow!" He nodded his head again, slapped his hands on his knees, and
stood up. Then he said, with new resolution in his voice, "That settles
The Pentagon's recent decision to limit anthrax vaccine shots to those
at high risk does not address the fundamental objection to the shots,
which is the lack of informed consent. The military maintains that it is
not required to seek informed consent for the vaccine because it is
currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and it continues
to court-martial personnel who refuse the vaccine. These servicemembers
contend that the vaccine is unsafe and that the military is not using it
in the prescribed manner.
The Pentagon announced its controversial plan to forcibly inoculate all
2.4 million troops against anthrax in 1997. Almost immediately, military
members began to protest, based in part on the revelation that
approximately 300,000 servicemembers had been given experimental drugs
without their knowledge in the Gulf War. Both during and after the Gulf
War, many military personnel experienced systemic medical problems,
which are often collectively termed Gulf War Syndrome. Seven years after
the Gulf War, the military finally admitted that it had used
experimental drugs on its personnel without their consent, and that
these drugs could be factors in the medical problems.
The FDA approved the current anthrax vaccine in 1970 primarily for
agricultural workers, but not for routine immunization on large
populations. Originally approved for a six-shot, eighteen-month
protocol, the vaccine is intended to treat cutaneous (through the skin)
anthrax, but has never been tested for inhalation anthrax, which is the
most deadly form and the most likely to occur in a combat situation.
Despite the military's assertions that very few adverse reactions have
been reported from the vaccine, the General Accounting Office found that
the Pentagon has been negligent in tracking such reactions. In fact,
many military personnel have reported adverse reactions. In 2000 the GAO
surveyed the National Guard and reserve forces given the vaccine, and 85
percent reported some reactions, with 23.8 percent reported to be
systemic. Additionally, the GAO reports that the long-term effects of
the anthrax vaccine have never been studied. In 1994 one of the Army's
top biological researchers wrote that "the current vaccine against
anthrax is unsatisfactory."
In 1996 the manufacturer BioPort submitted an application to the FDA to
amend the original anthrax vaccine license to include treatment of
inhalation anthrax as an approved use, as well as an approved reduction
in the vaccination schedule. FDA regulations specify that should an
organization desire a license change for a previously approved drug or a
modified dosing schedule, the drug essentially reverts to experimental
status. Due to a vaccine shortage, the military does not require that
personnel complete the six-shot protocol, and in some cases it has
prescribed that only two of the six required shots are necessary. So
under the current law, the military, in using the anthrax vaccine as a
prophylactic against inhalation anthrax, is basically using an
experimental drug on its own people without their consent.
In light of the Gulf War experimental drug abuses, the Pentagon's
circumvention of FDA regulations with anthrax vaccine is very
unsettling. Even after the anthrax scare post-9/11, we cannot simply
ignore the system of checks and balances for experimental drugs. In
volunteering for service, military members sacrifice much for their
country. Just as they are expected to conform to the rules of their
superiors, the Pentagon should be expected to obey the laws of the

Minnesota can be considered a veritable mecca for insurgent third parties. Its governor is maverick independent Jesse Ventura.
Speech to The Democratic National Committee--Western Caucus
Saturday, May 25, 2002
Seattle, Washington
"Death Star," "Get Shorty," "Fat Boy"--the revelation of Enron's trading schemes in California have turned the Enron scandals virulent again.
During the long months of post-September 11 presidential invincibility,
no member of Congress climbed further out on the what-did-Bush-know-when
limb than Representative Cynthia McKinney. "We know there were numerous
warnings of the events to come on September 11," the Georgia Democrat
said in March. "What did this Administration know and when did it know
it, about the events of September 11? Who else knew, and why did they
not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered?"
The disclosure that President Bush was warned in August that Al Qaeda
was seeking to hijack domestic aircraft did not confirm all McKinney's
intimations--which extended to talk about how the Bush family might have
profited from the attacks. Yet she was freed to stake a claim of
vindication. "It now becomes clear why the Bush Administration has been
vigorously opposing Congressional hearings. The Bush Administration has
been engaged in a conspiracy of silence. If committed and patriotic
people had not been pushing for disclosure, today's revelations would
have been hidden by the White House."
McKinney's initial calls for an investigation of what Bush knew prompted
a storm of criticism. "McKinney has made herself too easy a target for
mockery," Atlanta Journal-Constitution editorial page editor
Cynthia Tucker announced in April. "She no longer deserves serious
analysis." After Bush aides condemned McKinney's "ludicrous, baseless
views," National Review Online editor Jonah Goldberg diagnosed
her as suffering from "paranoid, America-hating, crypto-Marxist
conspiratorial delusions." Barely a month after the McKinney-bashing
peaked, however, the Journal-Constitution headline read: "Bush
warned by US intelligence before 9/11 of possible bin Laden plot to
hijack planes," while Senate Intelligence Committee vice chairman
Richard Shelby, an Alabama Republican, said, "I believe, and others
believe, if [information on threats] had been acted on properly, we may
have had a different situation on September 11."
There were no apologies to McKinney. Brushing aside complaints from
Atlanta civil rights activists, Georgia Senator Zell Miller continued to
characterize his fellow Democrat as "loony." McKinney's critics kept
exploiting the opening she gave them with her unfounded rumination on
the prospect that something other than ineptness might explain the
Administration's failure to warn Americans about terrorist threats. But
her willingness to go after the Administration when few Democrats dared
earned her folk-hero status among dissenters from the
Bush-can-do-no-wrong mantra: The popular democrats.com website now
greets visitors with a We Believe Cynthia icon.
In Georgia, where McKinney faces a July primary challenge from a former
judge who labels her "off-the-wall and unproductive," a recent
Journal-Constitution headline read, "Revelations Give Boost to
McKinney." Letters to the editor, even from former critics, hail her
prescience. And Georgia Democratic Representative John Lewis, who once
steered clear of McKinney's call for an investigation, says, "I hate to
put it in this vein, but she may have the last laugh."
Quick, pinch me--am I still living in the same country? Reading and
watching the same media? This "Bob Woodward" fellow who co-wrote a tough
piece in the May 18 Washington Post demonstrating that the
now-famous August 6 presidential daily briefing, contrary to
Administration officials' claims about its contents, actually carried
the heading "Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S."--is this the same
Bob Woodward who co-wrote the Post's infamous "Ten Days in
September" series earlier this year, the ur-document of George W. Bush's
Churchillization? And this "Michael Isikoff," sharing a byline on the
eye-opening May 27 Newsweek cover story that shreds the
Administration's "we did everything we could" line of defense--is this
the Isikoff who four years ago defined national security in terms of
dress stains and cigar probes? One begins to suspect that unbeknownst to
all of us, the terrorists have indeed struck--the Washington, DC, water
An overstatement, to be sure. But it does seem to be the case that
wherever this potentially incendiary story leads, from fog of
unprovables to hot smoking gun, one change has already taken place
because of it that is well worth marking. For the first time since
September 11--or, arguably, since ever--the press corps appears ready to
expend more effort poking holes in the vaunted Bush Administration spin
operation than admiringly limning it. More to the point, Is a new
skepticism stirring around such heretofore Teflonized officials as
National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice? Before her May 16
damage-control press conference, Rice was probably the Administration's
leading untouchable. After it ("I don't think anybody could have
predicted these people would...use an airplane as a missile," a
statement left bleeding on the floor after a pile of evidence came
forward showing plenty of people were predicting precisely that), her
status has taken a major hit. So, as Professor Harold Hill might put it,
certain wooorrrrdds are creeping into the media vocabulary--words
like "serious credibility gap," in the Newsweek piece.
It's been a long time coming. If anything "un-American" happened after
September 11, it was the triumph of the notion--propounded by the
Bushies, reinforced by the major media and far too readily accepted by
cowardly Democrats--that "patriotism" somehow equals "support the Bush
Administration." CBS's Dan Rather said it recently in an interview with
the BBC: "Patriotism became so strong in the United States after 11
September that it prevented US journalists from asking the toughest of
the tough questions about the war against terrorism," adding, "I do not
except myself from this criticism." The genuflection sometimes reached
levels that we might call comic, except that there's nothing comic about
a "free" press choosing to ape state-owned media, throwing rose petals
at the feet of officials from the most unilateral and secretive
Administration in modern American history ("sixty-nine years old, and
you're America's stud," Meet the Press's Tim Russert once said to
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld).
One is not quite ready to say, on the evidence of several days' worth of
stories, that this sorry era is over just yet. The New York Times
and the Washington Post both ran editorials on May 17 that were
something short of being full-throated calls for investigation; from the
right-wing papers, the predictable yelping about how it's really
Clinton's fault.
All this will probably continue, but at least now it appears that it
will be offset by some post-post-9/11 aggression. It will be interesting
to watch what leads the media now follow and how far they follow them.
For example, some reports--originating with the BBC but picked up in a
few minor US outlets--indicate that US intelligence agents were told to
back off the bin Laden family and the Saudi royals soon after Bush
became President. Reporters might also look into the way the
Administration declined to continue a process of tightening overseas and
offshore banking regulations begun by the Clinton Administration in an
effort to track down narcotics traffickers and terrorists. The Bush
people acted partly at the behest of Texas Senator Phil Gramm, which
means partly at the behest of Enron--and which may have ended up helping
"Connecting the dots" has become the operative cliché about
whether intelligence officials should have been able to put together the
various pre-9/11 clues they received. Now, maybe the media will start
connecting some dots of their own.

Thread: naming personal website for art
May 30th, 2007 #1
naming personal website for art
I can't help wondering, but what is the norm in naming of websites to display your artwork (personal gallery, portifolo, etc.) Do people usually use their name, like, www..johndoestudio.com, or do they try to come up with something catchy? I am planning to set up my own website to display my artwork, and perhaps to sell (assuming anyone even want my stuff!!). I want to know what is the best way to name the website, with my name or something else that people would remember?

I think using one's own name is the norm, also the most formal and professional way, but if you have something that's catchy, original and appropriate, you could use it.
June 11th, 2007 #3
I guess if it's you your selling then its good to go for your name (luckly I have a name that wasnt taken when I wanted it...my freind chris brown had a bizach of a time when he wanted to name his site after himself, his name plus the postfixes "design" "art" etc were all taken. I personaly like alex pardee's site: eyesuckink.com ...freeking awsome illustrations too
June 11th, 2007 #4
problem with eyesuckink.com, if you mention it by mouth, they might take down isuckink, causing complications with possible clientel! so make it easy to pronounce and understandable.
June 11th, 2007 #5
also depends what your name is. in my case i wouldn't use mine because it's pretty difficult to write and remember.

there is no set way,
to use your name is professional but at the same time personal
if your name is John Smith you might need something catchy especially if someone wants to find your site through Google.
If you have a business then you would use that name.
Pick something that is
1. easy tor remember
2. don't confuse people like the example of eyesuckink might
3. relates to the business, so plumbling fixtures for an art website might not be the best choice

June 11th, 2007 #7
As long as it's logical and memorable, you're good. A site like johnsmithart.com might not stick in someone's head, but it's hard to misspell and it's a very accurate description of what to expect. A name like postapocalypticponderings.com might describe your art, but it's pretentious, it's too long, and no one would ever know that it's a site devoted to paintings. A name like goodbrush.com is great, and a simple yourname.com is nice, especially if you have a unique name. As long as they can get to your site without being offended, it doesn't matter.
If a name's taken, I'd advise against choosing an alternate like .us or .biz, since people might go to .com, see a different site, and give up on you. Just find a different name.
Hope that helps.
edit: haha, I just noticed that you said John Smith as well, TomWaits. Pure coincidence, I promise.

You can always do a combination of both!
Like www.yournamehereadjectivestudio.net/biz/info...
or even set it up as a sub-domain of a bigger art site you want to make. Such as:
That way you can add your buddies onto your site too and collect a small fee to help pay for the site!
Make it as long or short as you like, but remember clear/concise and shorter names are easier to remember!

Best place to see a hipster sweat over buying a porn video New York 2006 - Kim's Video
You're in the porno section of your local video store when suddenly the worst possible thing that you can imagine happens: A total stranger who you'll probably never see again enters your space and looks at you like you're some sort of pervert. We've seen this happen over and over again at Kim's Video: hipsters freaking out at the mere notion that some stranger knows they enjoy gay sex, hairy bushes, midgets, or even some scat. So what's a poor repressed hipster to do? Drop that piece of filth and run. You have to move fast because your good name is at risk. Your job, status, and perhaps worst of all, what your Aunt Sadie thinks of you are all going to crap with every moment you are seen with that filthy pornography in hand. So run, damn it, run for your judgment-fearing life.

"Moscow-Turku" Top 5 Page for this destination Turku by Kuznetsov_Sergey
Turku Travel Guide: 517 reviews and 1,151 photos
The city of Turku is an administrative centre of a province the Western Finland, is located in a southwest of the country in a mouth of Aurajoki river.
The city is widely stretched on the both coasts of Aurajoki close to its mouth. The river crosses Turku from northeast to southwest. A lay-out in the city centre is rectangular - all streets last either in parallel the river, or perpendicular to it. Central square Kauppatori (i.e. Market-square) is located in a right-bank part of Turku. All the main sights are concentrated at Aurajoki's coasts.
The atmosphere of this region in many respects is defined by the sea. The coastal area around of present city Turku refers to Varsinais-Suomi, in translation "Actual Finland", or "Native Finland" because it was one of the centers, gradual settling the country whence had begun from there.
From the XVIIth century Swedes founded trading numerous settlements on the coast, basically for export of wood and pitch necessary for military fleet of the country.
Swedes concern to this region with curiosity, naming it "parallel Sweden" (Parallels verige).
Turku is the basic port connecting Finland with Sweden and Aland islands. Numerous sea vessels ply along southern coast of the country.
Ferry moorings are in 3 kilometers to a southwest from the city centre. We have taken advantage of ferry Silja-line to go from Turku to Stockholm.

10000 islands?! wow! we didnt have time to take any ferry there
Well, Now I now more about Turku, thanks to you! I love those sailing ship's, especially when all the sail's are up!
Oh, I see you had a busy day in Turku without even a coffee break :)
The castle surely looks solid and monumental. You took great pictures and comments, as usually happens. Is there any videos? WE met a person on our Croatia trip close to here who said we need to visit.
Nice page about one of Scandinavian destinations ;) I was amazed that such castle and cathedral still left almost untouched at this part of Europe.
Wonderful place to visit there! Thanks for your story, Sergey!
An interesting page with a good history summary!
Very well writen. Thanks for sharing!
Enjoyed the "History" of Turku and the Castle. Also a very clever picture of the Orthodox Church with its reflection in the building. Also thanks so much for kind comments on my new Maine page.
Great Turku tips and photos!! I really like Finland, so Turku has to be discovered shortly!

Holiday Travel Tips
'Tis the season of travel! Below, we've included tips that we hope will help as you prepare for your travel with Greyhound this holiday season.
- Schedule your trip early. The earlier you purchase your ticket, the better. Advance ticket prices are not available the day of travel, so it's best to take advantage of the low fares when you can.
- Get a head start and print your ticket at home. Printing your ticket prior to arriving at the station will save time and prevent you from having to wait in line at Will Call. Although you print your ticket online, you still have to present a paper ticket to board the bus. Make sure to have your ID when you board the bus as well.
- Be aware that tickets are date and time specific. You must travel on the schedule that you select when purchasing your ticket, or if you wish to change schedules, you may have your ticket reissued for a $20 fee.
- Arrive at least an hour before your scheduled departure time. This ensures that you have time to properly tag and check your luggage and beat the rush during this extremely busy time of year. If our Express service is offered in your city and is traveling to your destination, definitely take advantage of this service for guaranteed seating. You can also enjoy amenities, such as free Wi-Fi, power outlets, leather seats with extra legroom, and there's limited or no stops with Express.
- Keep essential items on the bus with you. Instead of putting important items in the luggage you check, such as medications and other things that are necessary for your daily living, keep it with you in a carry-on bag in the event that your checked luggage gets delayed. Make sure to properly tag your luggage both inside and out with accurate contact information to ensure that your bag is matched to you if delayed.
- Check for weather delays. The weather can be unpredictable during the holidays, so customers should check online or call to see if there are weather delays, prior to arriving at the station.
- Bring a small travel pillow so you can rest comfortably.
- Bring snacks and water.Whether you're traveling 4 hours or 14 hours, you're likely to get hungry and staying hydrated is a necessity.
- You can now use our Pay with Cash option. You can reserve your trip online, visit a participating retailer (7-Eleven or Ace Cash Express) and pay with cash to complete the transaction. This is a particularly convenient option if you don't have a credit card.
- Make sure your carry-on bags are packed light. Don't bring oversized bags with you on the bus that are cumbersome and end up in the way. Make sure you can fit your bag in the overhead compartment or under your seat comfortably.
Happy holidays!

You'll Never Find...
Lou Rawls, who died early this morning, was an eclectic of the old school with one of the most distinctive voices in all of pop. The last time Rawls came though Minneapolis, Britt Robson wrote this short and sweet A-list:
With the passing of Ray Charles, Lou Rawls is the reigning standard-bearer for the soulful, supper-club sophistication of Nat King Cole-styled R&B. Lacking the genius (and the demons) of Charles, he has built a pretty fair career pitching his rich, honeyed drawl into smooth Philly soul, classic balladry, and highfalutin blues. Hearing him sing is a reliable elixir for hypertension.
