text: My high school had a lot of problems with it. We were infamous in the state of Kentucky for having a huge brawl at one of our basketball games because one of the opposing team's (A small private school) dad had used the "N word" to describe one of our players. Behind the scenes we had a lot of fights and needless to say despite our well known atheletic talent my school was full of hooligans. Locker room stuff like what I just read is all too common at my school. A friend of mine on the wrestling team made the mistake of insulting one of the senior starters on the football team his freshman year. The senior and a couple of his friends held him down in the locker room and "cock slapped" him, which is exactly what it sounds like. Following such example the next year kids on the middle school team held down one of the whipping boy type players and proceeded to sexually assault him, I won't say what exactly happened but 2 of 3 kids involved were expelled. I was once one of those beat up kids in the locker room back when I weighed under 100 pounds and my senior year I had no tolerance for it and tried to stop it when I could. It really pains me to see stuff like that happen.

Lady bugs are one of the most welcome of summer insects because they are wrapped in pretty coloring and feed on aphids which are pests in gardens. But there are a plethora of other insects that aren't so welcoming and when the summer months hit they seek refuge in cooler areas of your home and can make their way in through holes in baseboards, open drafts under doors, and unsealed windows.
This article provides some helpful advice for keeping bugs out of your home this summer and keep reading for ways to rid your home of termites, bees, wasps, flies and dust mites.

My Homemade Sisal Pendant Light
I really disliked that lamp!
I've been trying to figure out what should go in as a replacement, but everything that I found was either way out of my price range or not quite right. I wanted to make that corner feel natural and a little organic, and not too "finished." I also wanted something that would tie into my wall mounted "baskets" (aka ikea placemats and bowl :) which had started to look a little random. And if they looked random to me, I can only imagine that they would look more so to someone who didn't know how I was really holding out for some antique winnowing baskets but hadn't happened to find any yet.....
This is what I came up with in my rough sketch mock-up (forgive the 1/2 a cow hide rug and sub-par photoshop skills :) I am planningn drapes to replace the roman shades down the line, but rest assured that they won't look like these :)
I liked the look of West Elm's discontinued Abaca pendant, but couldn't find any good replacement. However, I did find this tutorial explaining how to make something similar. I liked the concept but not all the materials that they used.
So, I took this :
Covered it inch by inch in this:
wrapped it around this:
and wound the mod-podge covered string around it until it looked like this:
Let it dry, then deflated and removed the ball like this:
and hung it up like this:
I like how it doesn't make that corner too cluttered, and how it looks like one of the baskets just jumped off the wall. It casts awesome shadows too!
You can check out my complete instructions here, which I posted on this lovely blog started by my very talented friend Molly who I wish didn't live halfway across the country.

D&X (Partial Birth) Abortions
A kind of late-term abortion, D&X (also know as partial birth abortion) has been in the news for several years. Many states have passed legislation banning this procedure because of its immoral nature. The Congress has also passed legislation to ban the procedure, all of which have been vetoed by President Clinton. A description of the procedure and why it is never medically necessary follows. Warning: the description below is graphic and upsetting to most people. Do not continue if you are unwilling to suffer some emotional trauma.
Where is the most dangerous place in the United States? Contrary to what most people might think, it is not the inner city, or even death row in many states. The most dangerous place to be in the United States is in the womb of our nation's women. One out of five pregnancies is terminated (the fetus is killed) by the mother.1 In other nations, the death toll is even higher. For example, over 50% of all pregnancies in Russia are terminated through abortion.1 Proponents of abortion want it to be "safe and rare," something it has never been. More than 95% of all abortions are performed purely for convenience (i.e., not using birth control). However upsetting these statistics may be, they seem mild to the reality of late-term abortions, performed on tens of thousands of viable fetuses every year. Babies often survive the procedure to be born alive (see Testimony of Gianna Jessen, an abortion survivor). However, since they are unwanted, they are left alone to die - a process that often takes many hours (see Testimony of Jill L. Stanek, RN).
The D&X procedure itself is rather gruesome.2 The abortion practitioner instrumentally reaches into the uterus, grasps the fetus' feet, and pulls the feet down into the cervix. The reason this is done is not as a medical necessity, but to avoid actually birthing the baby. If the baby were fully born, killing it would be considered murder. The fetus is then pulled down the birth canal until it has been entirely birthed except the head. Surgical scissors are forced into the base of the fetal skull while the fetus is lodged in the birth canal. This blind procedure risks maternal injury from laceration of the uterus or cervix by the scissors and could result in severe bleeding and the threat of shock or even maternal death. A suction apparatus is introduced into the hole in the base of the skull and the fetus' brains are removed through aspiration. The baby is then born dead. The entire procedure is performed on the fetus without the use of anesthesia even though it is clearly capable of feeling pain (studies have shown that the ability to feel pain begins early in the second trimester3).
D&X is most commonly performed between 20 and 24 weeks and thereby raises questions of the potential viability of the fetus. Information from 1988 through 1991 indicates a 15% viability rate at 23 weeks' gestation, 56% at 24 weeks, and 79% at 25 weeks.4 Proponents of D&X have asserted that the procedure was rarely performed (approximately 450-500 per year) and only used in extreme cases when a woman's life was at risk or the fetus had a condition incompatible with life.5, 6 In actuality, one facility alone admitted to performing 1500 of these procedures, the vast majority of which were carried out on healthy mothers with normal fetuses.7 Dayton, Ohio, physician Martin Haskell, MD, who had performed more than 700 partial-birth abortions, stated that most of his abortions are elective in that 20- to 24-week range and that "probably 20% are for genetic reasons, and the other 80% are purely elective."8 James T. McMahon, MD, of Los Angeles, CA, in detailing for the US Congress his experience with more than 2000 partial-birth abortion procedures stated that only 9% of those involved maternal health indications (of which the most common was depression).9 In fact, the insertion of instruments into the uterus is not without risks, since 1 out of 6,000 of these kinds of procedures results in the death of the mother (death from childbirth is 1 out of 13,000).10
Is the procedure ever medically necessary? First of all, the procedure itself requires several days to perform, since the cervix must be dilated first. This means that the procedure is never used in an emergency to save the life of the mother. In addition, the procedure is medically risky to the mother. According to Drs. M. LeRoy Sprang and Mark G. Neerhof:
"None of these risks are medically necessary because other procedures are available to physicians who deem it necessary to perform an abortion late in pregnancy. As ACOG policy states clearly, intact D&X is never the only procedure available."11
In writing for the Journal of the American Medical Association, Drs. M. LeRoy Sprang and Mark G. Neerhof, conclude with the following statement:
"Intact D&X (partial-birth abortion) should not be performed because it is needlessly risky, inhumane, and ethically unacceptable. This procedure is closer to infanticide than it is to abortion."11

In the beginning, they were mild, but within an hour the pain was severe. I continued contracting and bleeding most of the night. Around three in the morning, I went to the bathroom. I had been passing a lot of clots most of the evening. I assumed that the pain and pressure I was feeling was from more clots. When I stood up, I noticed that the pain and the pressure was not from clots, but from passing the placenta. When I looked in the commode, I saw laying in the center of the placenta my baby. I saw the baby's perfectly formed hands, the little fingers. I remember the scream that came from my mouth... [from a 7 week abortion] (I used to be Pro-choice...But...)

Speedy motorcyclist caught at last
Police in Alaska said they have arrested a motorcyclist who evaded capture repeatedly by driving at speeds approaching 130 mph.
Investigators said Justin Carr, 23, was charged with a felony count of evading police after several incidents in which he allegedly drove his yellow Suzuki motorcycle past police in Anchorage at high speeds and refused to pull over, the Anchorage Daily News reported Thursday.
Trooper Ronald Hayes said he caught a glimpse of the motorcyclist during a June incident, and the face he saw was Carr's.
This guy almost actively sought us out, Hayes said.
Anytime he would see any type of law enforcement vehicle or anything like that, he would take off.
Hayes said further charges against Carr are possible once a grand jury convenes in early August.
Anchorage police had sought the public's health in finding the speedy motorcyclist after a series of chases, and hundreds of tips poured in.
Carr's driving record includes numerous tickets, the Daily News reported.

now that's a long day/night, nice interpretation but this one is also fits the spelling concern as the others.Spoiler for sorry, it's late...for # 8, i keep getting stuck on dress/dress
dress blues, dress (instruction, get dressed...), dress, clothing worn on the outside
so either you are sneakier than i remember or i've been at work about 8 too many hours today.... either way works for me
some really good thoughts above, Dej Mar, but none the same as mine.Spoiler for I think I may be off track, but leaving no stone unturned
tints (colors; stains [blues])
tense (the tense of a verb can provide information)
tents (if "worn", a tent is on the outside [worn is also an example of the tense of wear])
Another possible solution is:
pens (inks [often blues]), pins (the placement of a marker, usually a pin, to indicate going "steady" - a message of sorts)
Other close, but not quite, solutions:
grieve (to mourn [blues]), greave (a piece of leg armor worn on the outside)
moan (to lament [blues]), mown (grass is cropped [worn] and grows outside, usually)
sighs (moans [blues]), size (clothes measurement often printed on a tag)
hey rsn - sorry, not what you'll need for the finale. thanks for visiting, please do come back.Spoiler for #8can't fit in the blues but no harm in trying

From the Publisher"McPherson offers a concise and up-to-date account, accessibly presented. Students will no doubt find this a valuable introduction."—The Journal of Cold War Studies, Volume 10, Issue 1
". . . .this book is highly recommended for individuals who have an incomplete background in U.S.–Latin American relations. It is accessible to non-specialists and would be a very good text for an upper-division course. . . .It would also be a good text for graduate students who need a quick background reead on the subject before tackling its complexity."—Political Science Quarterly
"Intimate Ties, Bitter Struggles offers a superb introduction to the major issues in the often turbulent history of U.S. relations with Latin America since the end of World War II. The book is well-organized, well-written, and goes beyond most textbook surveys by probing the 'inner history' of inter-American relations and the undervalued intimate ties between the United States and its southern neighbors. It is essential reading for anyone wanting an up-to-date portrait of inter-American relations."—Lester D. Langley, professor emeritus of history, University of Georgia, and author of The Americas in the Modern Age
"Alan McPherson has written a succinct, balanced, and lively history of recent U.S.-Latin American relations that provides an excellent basis for understanding current hemispheric issues and tensions. With its lucid prose and well-selected primary documents, the book should be popular in the classroom and with general readers."—Judith Ewell, Newton Professor of History Emerita, College of William and Mary
"Very highly recommended to all students of foreign relations, ecology, diplomacy, and historical understandings and occurrences between America and its relationship with its southern neighbors."—Midwest Book Review
"Any college-level collection strong in Latin American history will want to include Intimate Ties, Bitter Struggles on their acquisition list."—California Bookwatch
"The unbalanced interdependence of the United States and Latin America is one of the more difficult relationships in today's world, and it is bound to grow even more difficult in the future. Hence, a history of the relationship since its distortion under the impact of the cold war, analyzed by Alan McPherson with admirable clarity and conciseness, is an indispensable guide for understanding where the relationship is heading and why. . . . Recommended as good introductory reading."—Vojtech Mastny, National Security Archive, in History: Review of New Books

Study shows why human-like robots give people the creeps
By Ben Coxworth
July 18, 2011
People seem to enjoy watching robots and cartoon characters move about, and usually don't mind seeing other humans going through their daily motions, but when it comes to artificial creations that are made to look very human ... they're not always so popular. Although we tend to like animated objects or images that look kind of like real people, once they reach a certain level of realism, they just become spooky. This threshold is known as the "uncanny valley," and an international team of researchers recently set out to determine just what it is about our brains that causes it to occur.
The study was led by Ayse Pinar Saygin, an assistant professor of cognitive science at the University of California, San Diego. Twenty test subjects between the ages of 20 and 36 were used, none of whom had worked with robots, or spent time in Japan, where human-like robots are more common than in most countries.
These people were shown 12 videos of the Japanese Repliee Q2 android (pictured above), doing things such as waving, nodding, taking a drink of water and picking up a piece of paper. They also watched videos of the human that the robot was modeled after performing those actions, along with videos of the robot performing them without its skin covering, so it didn't look human.
When viewed through a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner, the activity of the subjects' brains suggested that a conflict arose when they were viewing the footage of the lifelike version of the android. More specifically, activity was noted in their parietal cortex, which connects the part of the brain that processes body movements with a section of the motor cortex that is believed to help us relate to such movements. In short, Saygin believed that there was a disconcerting difference between the way in which the test subjects expected the android to move, and the way in which it did move.
"The brain doesn't seem tuned to care about either biological appearance or biological motion per se," she said. "What it seems to be doing is looking for its expectations to be met - for appearance and motion to be congruent." She added that perhaps androids and lifelike animated film characters should be run past human volunteers while still in development, to see what kind of response they elicit.
Although it would be impractical to routinely conduct such tests using volunteers in an expensive fMRI scanner, Saygin and her team are now looking for an electroencephalogram (EEG) signal that corresponds to the uncanny valley response, which could be detected using inexpensive EEG technology.
I\'d guess this stems from evolution - we are instinctively repulsed by anything that in the deep past has lessened our survival chances (obviously...). \"Fake humans\" remind me of disabled and/or retarded humans. I bet they\'d get the same fMRI response from those, although I doubt they\'d get permission to conduct any such study in todays clime of political correctness :-)christopher
I am a photographer and I\'ve noticed similar things about what we actually expect to see, or assume exists in photographs. I have one long shot of a seafront which I then cropped to focus on a single family. When viewed at actual size everything looks fine, hair looks silky, eyes look bright - it\'s a \'good\' photo. However, zoom in just a couple of clicks and we are at pixel level, eyes are just a few pixels etc. What I\'m saying is that we interpret far more than we actually see. We very quickly notice a person acting \'strangely\' (slight body language signals, unexpected eye contact), even at quite a distance. This all must have to do with survival instinct and the ability to detect unfamiliar movements in the blink of an eye.Malcolm Pemberton
Doctor Who covered this in the Tom Baker-era classic \"Robots of Death\", where the lack of normal body language in the story\'s androids slowly drove certain people nuts with \"robophobia\". Man, one more reason to love that show!Steve Lee
It\'s pretty well established that very large areas of the brain are devoted to hands and faces. Robots would provably look less disturbing wearing sun glasses and gloves. As for why these things freak us out when they are just a little wrong, robotic movements often look similar to the movement of someone with a brain injury, and since some brain injuries are related to deadly disease or poison it would make sense to have a fear response to this in another human. By contrast, people familiar with machines will expect this kind of motion in something non-human.
As much as I admire the design of humanoid robots, I also have to say that part of the \"creep factor\" is that these robots are designed by engineers more than by artists. Replicating eyes, hands, and muscle shape that don\'t freak people out difficult, but certainly possible tasks.Charles Bosse
@christopher: Don\'t forget about diseases like rabies than effect movement and are highly contagious. This is probably a better reason to avoid those who don\'t act \"right\".shawnhcorey
A lot of this also has to with neurotic insecurity.
After being bombarded with all kinds of creepy \"sci-fi\" that is really just hi-tech horror, many people have been neurolinguistically altered.
Younger children don\'t have anywhere near the same predisposition.
I\'d say it\'s more \"environmental than hereditary\".Griffin
Children typically don\'t have the same predisposition.
People have been inundated with a lot of bad \"sci-fi\" that\'s really just hi-tech horror.
I think it\'s more \"environmental than hereditary\".
If the android was impeccable, would the creep factor only come in to play once the subject is informed?Griffin
The more something looks human-but-not-entirely-human, the more it looks like a dead human, and that\'s always going to make people feel uneasy. How hard it that to understand? Everyone who talks about the Final Fantasy and Polar Express movies talks about the characters having \"dead eyes\".Tysto

Self Scientific ft. Kobe - Have Mercy
Artist: Self Scientific
Featuring: Kobe
Producer: DJ Khalil, co-prod. Jay Electronia
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 5 votes )
Throughout late 2010 and 2011, Los Angeles hip-hop duo Self Scientific accumulated a large and loyal following in the DJBooth, impressing our readership with their potent combo of dynamic production and cerebral lyricism. Then, after dropping State of Man as part of our 20/20 Series, they up and disappeared. Nearly a year and a half later, the duo are back like they never left with Have Mercy, a freshly-released promo single which finds rapper Chace Infinite delving into the economic roots of criminal activity over DJ Khalil and Jay Electronica's grimy, woodwind-sampled production. Singer Kobe Honeycutt lends his vocals to the chorus. Craving more? Keep it locked; this joint isn't attached to a larger set, but we'll keep you supplied with the latest news and tunes from the Booth-acclaimed twosome in the weeks and months ahead.

Commissioned to rescue Governor Bligh of Bounty fame, Captain Jack Aubrey and his friend and surgeon Stephen Maturin sail the Leopard to Australia with a hold full of convicts. Among them is a beautiful and dangerous spy - and a dangerous disease which decimates the crew.
©1978 The Estate of the late Patrick O'Brian CBE (P)2014 Audible, Inc.
"Thrilling and masterfully narrated."
The main protagonists Jack and Steven are my favourites, often I thought: " That's Jack for you, he would say that" or when Steven says something particularly droll... I laugh out loud!
Believable characters.
Having listened to the previous 9 books and looking forward to a whole lot more, The combination of Patric O'Brian's work and Ric Jerrom's voicing makes this an great series to listen to.
The thrilling chase by the dutch 74 gun ship, murderously on the tail of Capt. Aubrey's relatively smaller and slower ship, and the most heart racing outcome of that scene. I still see it clearly in my mind.
"Another winner"
Having read all these books (twice) over the years, I still find them endlessly fascinating, and Mr Jerrom's reading has added immensely to my enjoyment of them all.
Desolation Island starts off slowly, as many in this series do, but builds to a clever, exciting (go on, I'll say it, "rip-roaring", but I'm drawing the line at swashbuckling!) climax with everything you could wish for in a sea-adventure: sea-chases, battles, plague, near-mutiny, a spectacular wreck on a desert island. All seen through the contrasting eyes of our two very different, but complementary heroes, Stephen Maturin and "Lucky" Jack Aubrey.
Excellent...really didn't want it to end. I've already downloaded the next one. Why no "Mauritius Command" though?
"Classy rendition."
Patrick O'Brian's novels are dense, rich and evocative. This reading nicely encapsulates all of that and conveys a credible resonance to each of the principal characters. It was a great pleasure to listen to and I commend audibles efforts in bringing the Aubrey/Maturin novels to audiobook.
"Another good one!"
This audio book carries on the good work of the others in the series. The ocean going life of Captain Jack continues when he is sent on a mission to Australia but he has to make a lengthy detour after his ship is damaged in action. Ric Jerrom does a great job of narrating and if you like the other books this will not disappoint. I look forward to listening to the next book.

You should avoid sending your child to Shiloh Hills unless your primary concern is spiritual instruction, specifically in the Independent Bible Church, a fundamentalist doctrine Shiloh is NOT Baptist affiliated AND as mentioned in other reviews, legalistic. The Student to Teacher Ratio is more accurately, 15-21 to 1, until you get into upper school when students attrition may cause STR numbers to drop. Currently, many Shiloh parents and grandparents sub or teach classes and do so only with church approval, regardless of whether they hold a teaching degree or attended college. At Shiloh, you get what you pay for.
Based on the GreatSchool own review rating criteria with the exception of the Kindergarten, Shiloh Hills rates poorly unless: 1)You are seeking a cheap private school. 2) An alternative for a child who who might struggle in a pubic or more academically challenging private school 3) If your primary educational goal is a legalistic Shiloh Hills spiritual education. * "A great school has excellent teachers, Strong principle/school leadership and Challenging academic programs."
Last year was our first year at Shiloh after moving there from another private school and my two children couldn't be happier! The quality of the teaching and leadership at the school is outstanding and the sincere moral character of the staff is a beacon of hope and safety for the next generation in our troubled country. Incidents like bullying are non existent at Shiloh and all children there feel safe, loved and appreciated. The families are close knit and care for one another and my children have excelled academically and socially. I don't have enough good things to say about Shiloh! The school itself is small, and no frills, but for the cost the value is outstanding. We are bascially at two for the price of one from our old school and as long as crystal chandeliers and iron gates are not what you are seeking, the curriculum differs little from the other private Christian schools. The test scores are all at the top nationally. And best of all, Shiloh is a place where my children are allowed the freedom to be children, in the true sense of the word, with no pressure to grow up quickly, or be "cool", or prove themselves to other kids. It is a wonderful place!
I am a former Shiloh student who is now a parent of 2 children who have attended Shiloh since K-4 and another who is excited about starting this year! I could not imagine my children going any place else. The teachers are wonderful and believe it or not, some of them are still there from when I was a student. The dedication from the teachers to their students is amazing. My children have really enjoyed being a part of Shiloh and we are looking forward to introducing our youngest child to the school. They have exceeded our expectations and continue to do so!
This is our ninth year at Shiloh. We have an eighth grader and a senior. In a time where people transition in and out of schools on a frequent basis, we are often asked why we have chosen to stay at Shiloh. We love that the teachers know our children personally and are aware of their individual strengths and weaknesses. They use this personal knowledge to motivate them to strive for their personal best each year. However, the most important reason that we have chosen to stay at Shiloh is the degree of academic excellence that they have through all grades, most especially in Middle School and High School. We are extremely pleased with the academic progress of both our children.
We have been a part of the Shiloh family for eight years, it is everything we want for our child. The staff is commited to your child's education as well as thier walk in Christian faith. My daughter is so proud to be a part of SHCS, and so are we. The quality of this school is excellant.
A loving, supportive environment. Full of great role models in the older students. Teachers and staff committed beyond the call of duty. Affordable, academically competitive, well structured. Absolutely no complaints. Public middle school is such a mess, I will not even consider it for my younger child and she will attend Shiloh for middle school when she's done in elementary. My Shiloh 7th grader is the only middle school student I know who says when asked, 'My school is awesome!' Instead of, 'I hate school.'
We are in our 6th year at shiloh and could not be more pleased with our daughter's progress. The teachers are very dedicated and the atmosphere is great. You will love our school!!!
My two kids have attended this school from the beginning. The educational quality us excellent. This school offers the same cirrocumuli (Abeka) as the more well known expensive schools in the area (Mt. Paran Christian and North Cobb Christian). Therefore, you get the same result at a much lower price. The school isn t fancy. However, the buildings are paid for which translates to good tuition rates for you. No money is wasted on superficial glamour. In 2006, the 3rd grade overall SAT results for this school were in the 98th percentile. The Kindergarten 2006 class overall SAT score was in the 93rd percentile nationally. I think that speaks for itself. Beyond academics, a Christian school does a lot to shape the character of the students. It s an environment of love and respect and that rubs off on the kids. The kids just turn out better overall. The teachers see their job as a life mission. Therefore, you will never find a more dedicated collection of people to influence your child.
Shiloh is a fantastic school. The teachers are great and have a heart for the Lord. I have had my three children there for five years and have been very pleased. SHCS may not have the best facilities but they have made many improvements and continue to improve as the Lord allows. The atmosphere in the class room is one that encourages learning. Shiloh has a great fine arts program as well as a great sports program. I would highly recommend you prayerfully consider Shiloh for your child.
This is a great school. My daughter goes to Shiloh. The education standards of this school are among the best. Teachers are great! They make my daughter feel at home. They teach their kids great moral values. I highly recommend it.
This is for Kindergarten only. Mrs. Benefield is a 5 for teacher quality, not sure about the others. Mrs. Benefield is a caring teacher. The school lacks a little in getting information to the parents about important matters. School needs some refurbishing and needs a little more cleaning in restrooms. A little leagalistic but otherwise the people are nice and the tuition rate is very good.

Bush's Sitcom Nominee
Question: Who wrote the following passage?
"I have met President Bush twice. I have no powerful political connections--both times were the result of sizable checks written by me to support his campaign. Both times I was one of several hundred, if not thousand, people he met that day. Both times he said the same thing to me: 'I'm honored'.... The world's most powerful man was honored to meet me. Actually, just about everything you need to know about George W. Bush is there in that sentence--humble, economical, old-fashioned and simple in a way that irritates those who are irritated by things that are old-fashioned and simple.... And the thing is, he really means it.... Doubtless one of the things that makes him a great President is his ability to say, 'I'm honored' 800 times a day, and invest it with real emotion every time."
Answer: If you guessed Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert, you're wrong. Warren Bell, a TV writer and producer and ardent conservative, wrote these lines in a column posted last year on National Review Online. And he wasn't kidding.
Up until now, Bell has been known for his work on situation comedies. But if he is confirmed by the US Senate, Bell will be able to burnish that résumé a bit: He'll become a member of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's board of directors.
President Bush named three individuals to fill empty slots on the board of CPB, which funnels federal money to public radio and television and which was devised to serve as a "heat shield" protecting public broadcasting from political pressures. The nominations have not yet formally been sent to the Senate Commerce Committee. But Bell's nomination hearing could happen as soon as next week.
In the horse-trading that accompanies nominations to various boards and for judicial slots, it is unusual for these hearings to be anything but routine. But Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), a member of the committee, has raised questions about Bell's qualifications. And Common Cause, where I work, has asked its activists to lobby Commerce Committee members and ask them to oppose Bell's nomination.
The other two CPB nominees seem quite suitable for the job. David Pryor, chosen to fill a "Democratic" slot on the board, is a former US Senator and Governor of Arkansas who has been a professor of political science at Harvard University. Chris Boskin, a successful publishing executive, serves on the board of KQED-FM/TV in San Francisco, and is active in many philanthropic causes. She also is the wife of Michael Boskin, who served as head of the Council of Economic Advisors under former President George H.W. Bush.
It's not unusual for administrations of either party to choose board members for their political loyalty and their donations. The latest in a string of unfortunate board appointments was Kenneth Tomlinson, a conservative ideologue who waged a partisan war against what he considered liberal and left-leaning public broadcasters, secretly paying a consultant to monitor the PBS programs of journalist Bill Moyers, and NPR talk-show hosts Diane Rehm and Tavis Smiley. Tomlinson also pushed for partisan hires at CPB and for the creation of a program showcasing the conservative views of the editorial writers of the Wall Street Journal. Tomlinson's meddling and partisanship led to an investigation by the CPB's inspector general, and his resignation.
Of course, that has not been the end of it. The State Department's Inspector General found that in his job as head of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which oversees the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe, Tomlinson hired a friend to do "consulting" work without the proper authorization, and ran his horseracing business from his office.
After the Tomlinson uproar, you'd think Bell would be the last person to get nominated to the CPB board. But Bell's nomination has so far caused barely a ripple in the mainstream press, with only the Los Angeles Times's Matea Gold doing a substantive piece about Bell's background.
Bell obviously has succeeded in the world of commercial television. Indeed, he declares, "Creating pop culture has been the focus of my adult life." He has written for or produced a series of sitcoms, including According to Jim, Coach, Ellen and The PJs, an animated comedy series about life in a public housing project. (The PJs's raw, cutting-edge humor about being African-American and poor drew a sizable black audience but criticism from black filmmaker Spike Lee, who called the series "very demeaning" and "hateful...towards black people." The criticism of the series came before Bell took over as executive producer, but he asserted that he had no plans to soften the show's edge.)
Not even Bell can explain why the Administration nominated him to serve on the CPB board. He has no demonstrated expertise or even interest in public broadcasting. Indeed, asked if he listened to National Public Radio, Bell confessed that he tunes in to sports radio instead.
Bell may not have opined on public broadcasting, but in his columns and blogs for National Review Online, he has been clear about where he stands on a number of other issues. "I am thoroughly conservative in ways that strike horror into the hearts of my Hollywood colleagues," Bell wrote. "I support a woman's right to choose what movie we should see, but not that other one. I am on the Right in every way."
Consider these commentaries Bell wrote for National Review Online:
§ Complaining about Disney's Touchtone Television pressing him to hire more minorities for the TV comedy According to Jim, Bell huffed: "Of course, the conservative in me wants to say we should just find the best damn performers available, and judge them on the content of their character-acting, not their color. Ultimately, I will face a situation at some point this year where I say, 'Well, X was the funniest white actor, but we should probably go with Y.'" (Bell later apologized for the remark.)
§ Urging in February that filmmakers make more pictures about "the heroism of American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq," Bell wrote that sports hero Pat Tillman, who gave up football to enlist in the Army in 2002 and died in Iraq, deserved "at least, a cable TV biopic." Bell seems to have never known, or have forgotten, the widely reported fact that Tillman was killed by friendly fire, that the Army took weeks to investigate and report its findings and that Tillman had grave doubts about the war in Iraq, although he believed in the US fight against terrorism in Afghanistan. Reminded of these facts, Bell asserted, "I am calling for Hollywood writers and directors to make movies and TV shows depicting the heroic stories of the War on Terror, not for a whitewash of history."
§ Confessing his aversion to "the modern food industry" and its penchant to substitute chemicals for natural ingredients, Bell confessed that this "leftist notion" about food could move him to "reach across the aisle and hug Nancy Pelosi...except this is a new shirt, and that sort of thing leaves a stain."
§ Opposing condom ads on commercial TV during primetime, Bell wrote he did not have to worry about his own children being exposed to such advertising because he gets past all ads with his TiVo. "A little vigilance is all it takes--well, that and a couple hundred bucks for TiVo." In an aside, he wisecracks, "Sorry, poor people, your kids are going to be asking you awkward questions about condoms."
When nominated for the job, Bell joked that he had only one agenda: "No. More. Elmo." Since then, Bell has downplayed his strident political views and declared that he will bring no agenda to public broadcasting. He now says he supports Sesame Street and other PBS children's programming. Bell also told the Los Angeles Times that he'd like PBS to focus more on "scripted programming."
But news, of course, is not scripted. Neither are hard-hitting, fact-based documentaries. A large question remains for members of the Senate Commerce Committee, tasked with confirming Bell: Can any man who so idolizes the President bear the thought of PBS and NPR speaking truth to power?
