The Bayern gaffer wasn't too disappointed with his side's draw against Leverkusen...Bayern Munich struggled by times in Saturday's Bundesliga game against Bayer Leverkusen and eventually recorded a 1-1 draw. Head coach Louis van Gaal wasn't too disappointed with the final result though.
"I think I can be satisfied with the draw. We probably should have had a penalty at the end, but Leverkusen had plenty of chances too, more than we did," said Van Gaal on the official Bayern website.
"It's a bit disappointing we surrendered the lead so quickly instead of nicking a 1-0 win. But we've had seven games in three weeks, and we're two points and six points ahead of Schalke and Leverkusen respectively, so I'm happy."
Like his coach, holding midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger was quite satisfied with the 1-1 draw, too.
"We came here looking for all three points, but at the end of the day, the draw is OK. We're still top, and we have a two-point lead with four games to go, so we have a good chance of the title."

Scrap metal prices fall; thefts down
Recycling centers across the country are in a state of turmoil as the economy suffers.
That's the word from Wayne Lanham of Texas Metals and Recycling in Abilene.
"We're seeing unprecedented declines in scrap metal prices and wondering what we're going to do," Lanham said. "I've never seen it like this."
Prices for copper, aluminum and steel have plummeted after reaching near record highs this summer. On the upside, police say metals thefts are down as a result.
Lanham said to handle the massive influx of materials being brought in over the spring and summer months, he made capital expenditures in equipment to handle the massive volume. Now that equipment is mostly idle.
"There is very little movement of scrap steel, if any," Lanham said. "Orders have decreased, and responding to demand, there is no need for scrap from us."
Lanham said one of the big players in the region is Gerdau Ameristeel, and the company will be closed a major portion of January for maintenance.
"That, in conjunction with the lack of demand and extremely high existing scrap inventories, has led them to not need any material from scrap dealers since October," Lanham said.
He said prices have regressed to what they were in 1999.
The price he pays to customers for scrap iron is $20 per ton or 1 cent per pound. That's down from paying up to $200 a ton or 10 cents a pound for the same material earlier this year, he said.
"We're seeing some pickup now after people have realized the price is what it is and it's probably not going to change next week," Lanham said.
When prices first dropped in September, he said, he had customers who would drive off with a loaded trailer after deciding to keep the materials.
He said the same holds true for his paper recycling company, RWL Recycling.
"After the first of the year, we're confident we'll see improvement," Lanham said. "The bottom line is there will be a demand, but the great unknown is how much demand and at what price."
Despite all the gloom and doom, recyclers are still accepting materials but at reduced prices, he said.
Meanwhile, Detective Jeff Cowan of the Abilene Police Department said now that prices for metals such as copper are down, so is the crime spree that went along with it.
He estimated crimes involving this kind of theft are down by 25 to 30 percent.
"When copper was $3.25 a pound, you had people stealing it that normally wouldn't," Cowan said. "When you can get 100 pounds in 10 or 20 minutes, that's pretty good money in a short amount of time. Now they won't take the risk for a small amount of money."

"I recently got an email pitch from a company with a social skills product that claimed the product, "will enable [children with special needs] to be accepted by their peers throughout all aspects of their lives."
I'm not actually sure what the product was because that sentence stopped me in my tracks.
"Be accepted." I can't stop thinking about that. "…will enable them to be accepted by their peers…"
I don't even remember what the pitch was for because it made me so upset. Why the passive structure on that sentence? Why is the onus on the disabled to be accepted? Why is it our job to make you accept us?
Shouldn't the real issue here be how to get the typical children to accept special needs kids?
I look at my beautiful, perfect, weirdo autistic son. He is not like his peers. He is also not always accepted. It would probably be easier in the long run for him to learn to "be accepted."
Yet I look at him and the most damaging thing I can imagine saying to him is, "Maybe you should act like everyone else so kids like you more."
Yes, I've put my son in social skills groups. Yes, I teach him about neurotypical society. Yes, I teach him how to navigate the world as it stands. But no, I do not teach him that he has to change so that the other kids will accept him. I tell him that I love him exactly the way he is. If kids are mean to him, I tell him that the problem is with them—not him.
I am a perfect example of someone who has adjusted her behavior to be accepted. At this point it is almost unconscious. I don't know that it has been terribly damaging to do that. But it has been exhausting. And it is unfair.
I hear people making the argument all the time that people have to work to be accepted. I hear parents of typical kids, parents of autistic kids, and neuro-typical and neuro-diverse people alike say that you have to change yourself to fit in. To a degree, they are right. Most people work to get along with other people. We dress a certain way in business environments. We tend to alter our behavior based on the situation in which we find ourselves.
But these ways of fitting in and the fact that everyone does them doesn't change the fact that society asks autistic kids and adults to change most of their behaviors and to deny their natural instincts for the purpose of becoming more palatable to the neuro-majority. Society isn't asking autistic people to make the same adjustments as everyone else. Society is asking autistic people to suppress who they are almost all of the time.
Asking someone to change who they are to be accepted isn't okay. It's like asking a woman to learn not to be raped. It's like asking a child to learn not to be abused. It's like asking a victim to learn not to be bullied. I know those analogies aren't exactly right, but that is what it feels like. If you want something to happen, you have to teach the actor—not the recipient.
I am happy that I hear more and more parents defending their kids' rights to be who they are, society be damned, but I know that I also hear a lot of parents telling their kids that it is their job to fit in. I wonder if all parents—of both typical and autistic kids—stopped trying to help their kids fit in and just told them to be who they are—consequences be damned—if maybe those consequences would disappear.
Maybe the time has come to stop teaching our autistic kids to mold themselves into what society wants them to be. Maybe the answer isn't to change autistic people until we are palatable to the world at large. Maybe we don't need to keep working to "be accepted."
Maybe the answer is to put the onus on everyone else to accept us."

Conservative Methodists Propose Schism Over Gay Rights
By LAURIE GOODSTEIN
Published: May 7, 2004
PITTSBURGH, May 6 — Frustrated by years of rancor between the left and the right in the United Methodist Church, conservative members proposed Thursday that the denomination dissolve itself and split into separate churches.
The call for separation came on the 10th day of the church's quadrennial general conference, a marathon policy-setting meeting that has only highlighted the church's gridlock over homosexuality and scriptural infallibility.
After losing several critical votes this week, hundreds of gay clergy members and lay people and their supporters paraded through the convention hall on Thursday singing the Methodist hymn, "We Are the Church." Their leaders insisted that they had no plans to leave the church because they expected the gay rights cause would inevitably prevail.
Although a schism is far from imminent, the proposal is part of a long-term strategy and an indication that Methodist conservatives intend to use the gay issue as a wedge to precipitate a fracture — just as conservatives have in the Episcopal Church USA, in which some churches are forming a rival network. Methodist conservatives do not plan to advance the proposal here but to build support for it among church members in advance of the next convention in 2008.
In nearly every mainline Protestant denomination, from the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, conservatives are mounting increasingly organized challenges to denominations long associated with theological diversity and liberal causes.
"It is time for us to end this cycle of pain we are inflicting on each other," said the Rev. Dr. William Hinson, president of the Confessing Movement, a conservative Methodist network, who presented the proposal for separation at a breakfast meeting of conservative supporters.
"There is a great gulf fixed between those of us who are centered on Scripture and our friends who are of another persuasion," said Dr. Hinson, the retired pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Houston. "Repeatedly they have spoken of the need to get our church in step with our culture. We, on the other hand, have no desire to be the chaplain to an increasingly godless society."
With 8.3 million members in the United States, United Methodists are the country's third-largest Christian denomination, behind Roman Catholics and Southern Baptists. More than many churches, Methodists represent the nation's geographic, economic and political diversity. President Bush is a Methodist, as is Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Liberals said they were offended that the conservatives seemed to be offering to buy them out in order to be rid of them. The Rev. Troy G. Plummer, executive director of the Reconciling Ministries Network, an alliance of churches that support inclusion of openly gay people, said that the idea of a split would have been anathema to Methodism's 18th-century founder, John Wesley.
"John Wesley said schism is sin," Mr. Plummer said.
The conservatives' proposal for an amicable divorce stunned many here because conservatives appear to many church observers to be gradually gaining ground. Areas where the church is growing, in the South and Midwest, are increasingly evangelical in theology and worship style. The church has also been skewed toward conservatism with growth in Africa, Asia and Latin America, whose delegates make up about 20 percent of the voters at the general conference.
The conservative movement, whose members call themselves orthodox or evangelical, has also been bankrolled by some of the same conservative foundations that give money to conservative political causes. The Institute for Religion and Democracy, which backs a move to the right for the Methodists and other Protestant churches and coordinates initiatives to influence several mainline denominations, has received funding from Richard Mellon Scaife and the John M. Olin Foundation, which also fund conservative political causes, according to a recent book, "United Methodism at Risk," researched and written by church members concerned about a conservative takeover.
In multiple votes on gay issues at the conference here, the nearly 1,000 delegates have consistently opposed changing their church doctrine to include acceptance of gay sex or openly gay ministers. But the votes have ranged from 60 to 40 percent to as close as 55 to 45 percent, giving both sides ammunition to claim that at this general convention they gained ground since the general conference four years ago.
There are 36,000 Methodist churches in the United States. About 1,400 belong to the Confessing Movement, the conservative, evangelical alliance which is led by Dr. Hinson.
On the liberal side is the Reconciling Ministries Network, which counts 194 member churches, welcomes openly gay people and often allies itself with other liberal caucuses.
In a meeting with reporters, four active bishops and one who is retired said that they had been taken by surprise and saddened by the proposal.
"We share a church that's a moderate church, that's pretty centrist," said Bishop Warner H. Brown Jr., of the Denver area. "You cannot say that either a more liberal or a more conservative view is unwelcome in this church."
The Methodist Church divided over slavery in 1844, but reunited in 1939. Since then, the bishops said, there had never been another proposal to split.

Some Memphis residents in floodwaters' path wait and see
Rose Anna Hunt was two bricks shy of being picked up by her children and toted out of her house in Walker Homes.
That's how Hunt's 12 children measured the danger their 77-year-old mother faced as brown water with a stink of chemicals rose beside her home on Hazelwood.
Brick by brick.
But as the Mississippi River reached its expected crest Tuesday and Shelby County remained rain-free for the third day in a row, the siblings found relief in a brown stripe across the bricks they watched disappear for weeks: a high-water mark.
While hundreds of Shelby County residents were forced to leave their homes, some just minutes ahead of water, others chose to wait and see.
So far, no one has died because of flooding, authorities said, but the magnitude of devastation remains hidden under murky water.
Hunt raised a dozen children, eight of them basketball players, in the last house on the north side of Hazelwood.
The children played at Mitchell and Hamilton high schools. Some went to college on basketball scholarships, including her daughter, Desma Turner, who played for then-Memphis State.
All know how to use a full-court press and they tried one on their mother, but Hunt isn't leaving the house where she has lived for 56 years.
The west side of her house is built on 15 cinder blocks to make it level with the sloping landscape.
The water showed up a few weeks ago in the cove, something that happens usually in a hard rain. But it began steadily crawling toward Hunt's home. And the children began to count and worry.
Her son Ricky's house, two blocks north on Harahan, is flooded. The 56-year-old moved in with his mother a week ago.
It has been a battle of wills: 12 vs. one as the Hunt children begged, argued and "ruined Mother's Day," trying to convince her to leave.
A dozen bricks disappeared in the argument. If it got to the second brick, the children weren't taking "no" for an answer.
"She won't even let us go in and get our (basketball) trophies out," Turner said, exasperated at her mother's will.
"If they were so important they should have gotten them out before the flood," Hunt said as she sat on her porch swatting bugs. "They are up high anyway."
The only residents not displaced in the Kingsway Green mobile home park are martins.
The birds fluttered in and out of golf-ball-sized holes in tiny houses atop poles that floodwaters couldn't reach.
In two mobile home communities near the flooded intersection of U.S. 51 and North Watkins, rows of rectangles stretch across the water, evidence of lives built there entombed in metal.
A University of Tennessee flag flies on a porch flooded to its top rail at one home. A shed painted UT orange is nearly covered.
Shelby County Sheriff's Office deputies patrol the neighborhoods in amphibious vehicles; they become boats when water overtakes the tires.
There's not much left, but looters aren't going to pick over the remains, said Chip Washington, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, which has flooded the county with deputies to watch for thieves.
"They aren't going to get any advantage in this situation," Washington said.
"Me and my old crab" still live a couple of houses away from the flooding on Orchi, according to a sign on the door. By phone, Peggy Morris confirms she is the "me."
Her mental watermark for evacuating is two driveways away.
"If it gets to the first one, we'll start considering," the 63-year-old Morris said. "If I see a snake I'll probably leave sooner. I hate snakes."

Paramus Things to Do
More Shopping!

You'll find stores in the following categories: electronics/toys/games, clothing, accessories, shoes, home goods, jewelry, cards/gifts, health/beauty. There is a food court and a couple of other casual restaurants. There is also a very popular indoor children's playground.
There is no sales tax on clothes/shoes in New Jersey. Paramus still has a "blue law" so the mall is closed on Sundays. Open Monday - Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Shopping Mecca
Paramus is the shopping Mecca of New Jersey and with over 300 stores the Garden State Plaza is Paramus' biggest mall. The mall started out in the 1960's as an open-air mall. Today there are hundreds of stores/kiosks, a food court as well as full service restaurants, a double-decker carousel, and a multiplex - 16 theatesr.
The main anchor department stores are: Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Lord & Taylor, JC Penney, and Nordstrom. Along with those and an Apple store, you'll find stores in the following categories: electronics/toys/games, clothing, accessories, shoes, home goods, jewelry, cards/gifts, health/beauty, and just about anything else you are looking for!
Two of the nicer restaurants attached to the mall are Capital Grille (expensive, but excellent steak) and Papa Razzi (Italian).
Around Christmas you will be hard-pressed to find a parking spot. If you run out of patience, valet parking is available (for a cost).
There is no sales tax on clothes/shoes in New Jersey.
Paramus still has a "blue law" so the mall is closed on Sundays. Open Monday - Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. The restaurants (not the food court) are opened on Sundays.
The Shopping Mecca of New Jersey
If you're not from around here you'll probably be amazed at the sheer amount of malls and shopping centers. If you're looking for a store, chances are it'll be in this town. If you travel on Routes 4 and 17, those are the main highways going around. The bulk of the malls and centers are on these roads, so you can't miss them. Beware though, on a Saturday midday, going on either road could be endagering your life. The traffic is crazy. But if you're in the area, and have some time to spare, it's worth it to hit up the shopping area.

Michael Kors: Shopping for a New Bag for my Wife
My wife and I were at the Westfield Garden State Plaza for an afternoon of shopping. We decided to stop into Michael Kors to check out a bag my wife had her eye on online but wanted to see in person before buying. Michael Kors is a favorite store of my wife's and she is always on the lookout for her next "new" item. She has several bags, sunglasses and shoes of this brand.
I have to say the customer service in the store was lacking for a high end store. No one greeted us or asked if we needed assistance for at least ten minutes; even with my wife picking up various bags throughout the store. Finally a young salesgirl came out from the store room and asked if we needed assitance...why yes we did. My wife was intered in their Jet Set Travel tote but was unsure of the color she wanted. She was stuck between a bright pink and an aqua blue. After trying them both she went for the bright pink(I thought it was the right choice). After talking to the sales girl she decided to get the version of the bag that had a zipper insert for a tablet/laptop. I thought that made it an even better bag for travel and not just an everyday bag.
With her choice made, the sales girl went into the back to retrieve a new bag for my wife. We went to the cashier and paid for our purchase; making my wife happy to have a new bag from one of her favorite stores.
What to buy: Shoes, sungrasses, bags and accessories.
What to pay: It depends on the style, size and fabric of the item. I've paid as little as $200 for a bag and as much as $800. This bag in particular came to $315 with tax.
Westfield Garden State Plaza: A visit to the Mall
Located 8 miles from Manhattan, the shopping centre has a history of some fifty years.
With five anchors and almost 300 shops, the mall is spread over 2.1 million square foot.
It is one of the Westfield Group of shopping centres which span the globe.
the one downside seemed to be there was no Bookstore of any description.
What to buy: I was able to enjoy all my favourite stores at some better prices than I can in the UK. I was able to shop in Old Navy, Aeropostale and of course Abercrombie and Fitch.
Some of these only exist in the USA and the others are much cheaper to shop in than their UK based stores.
So in my case it was clothes, clothes and more clothes.

For several years, the only Livestrong item I owned was several of those baller bands, which I bought when they initially released and never wore. Instead, they served as gifts to friends because, at the time, the pieces of rubber wear coveted fashion accessories. And there we find the origins of how trends begin since Lance Armstrong's cancer campaign has taken on a second life, the oft used maize and black color scheme becoming as recognizable as Yankee fitteds. Iconic may be the word that applies or at least the one I use will talking about certain items with friends. When an article of clothing or an element starts to live independently. Often, I say when it doesn't have to match an other parts of what you're wearing and a connection isn't required before donning it. The aforementioned Evil Empire lids. Denim jackets. The neon yellow commonly associated with AM95's. My personal favorite camouflage, which matches everything. And now, Team LAF's signature varsity maize yellow and black, which don't require surviving cancer or riding a bike for eight days. You wear it and it blends in because it's recognizable. And 2010 changed things for me after I broke down and grabbed a pair of Livestrong Trainer 1.2's.

Louisiana pastor Jerry DeWitt unexpectedly became an atheist celebrity when he lost his faith.
An apostate and an atheist, she has rejected Islam as her personal creed, and she calls on Muslims, effectively, to do the same.
That mentality is what some atheist thinkers believe quietly promotes magical thinking, condoning it via liberal tolerance.
1570s, from French athéiste (16c.), from Greek atheos "without god, denying the gods; abandoned of the gods; godless, ungodly," from a- "without" + theos "a god" (see Thea).
The existence of a world without God seems to me less absurd than the presence of a God, existing in all his perfection, creating an imperfect man in order to make him run the risk of Hell. [Armand Salacrou, "Certitudes et incertitudes," 1943]

Man held in Valley in 2005 slaying
Authorities arrested a 23-year-old man Tuesday in Mission in connection with a 2005 murder in Beeville, U.S. Marshals said.
Joe Quinn Villarreal, who was found hiding in a closet at a friend's home, is accused of taking part in the gang-related shooting and stabbing of 38-year-old Donald Wesley Bonham on April 17 behind a dance hall in the 800 block of West Corpus Christi Street.
Three other men also have been arrested in connection with the incident, one of whom has been convicted in the murder, according to Beeville Police Lt. Reagan Scott.
Villarreal's bond was set at $500,000.

We'll get to the local item later. • • • I happened to be browsing through articles on ESPN.com and I came across this column written by ESPN the […] [Read More]
Taking a trip up the rumor mill…
Okay, so the title of this entry is a bit deceptive because this first bit of news is no longer a rumor. On Friday, former University of Texas quarterback Jevan Snead was released from his scholarship with the Longhorns, and TCU and the University of Houston appear to be near the top of his list […] [Read More]
About having that college football playoff…
It appears as if the Bowl Championship Series has once again made another sham of the college football postseason. It's common knowledge that this system has flaws, and those flaws were once again showcased on Sunday when the BCS decided to pit SEC champion Florida (12-1) against top-ranked and Big Ten champion Ohio State (12-0) […] [Read More]
Congrats to the Cougars…and to their fans

Brooke Gladstone appears in the following:
Section 317
Friday, April 04, 2014
The Supreme Court ruled this week to raise the limit for individual campaign contributions from $123,000 to $3.6 million dollars. Limits are in place to prevent deep-pocketed donors from corrupting the democratic process, which includes political advertising. Brooke speaks to former FCC Commissioner Michael J. Copps about Section 317 of the Communications Act, the FCC's as-yet-enforced dictum that we are entitled to know by whom we are being persuaded.
Case Closed
Friday, April 04, 2014
A new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) not only presents dire evidence of global warming's impact, it also offers a different narrative about who is at risk, putting humans at the center of the story. Brooke talks with science journalist Cristine Russell about the IPCC's media-ready case.
The History of the Quiz
Friday, March 28, 2014
The BuzzFeed quiz is ubiquitous; it seems as irresistible as it is inescapable. But when did we first start taking quizzes? Writer Sarah Laskow recently embarked on a quest to find out. She takes Brooke through her search for the Ur Quiz.
Try On the Media's first (and maybe last) quiz: Which 19th Century Media Baron Are You?
How Much Oil Really Spilled?
Friday, March 28, 2014
On the 25th anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Southwest Alaska, the media reported, as they have since the disaster happened, that the amount of oil spilled was 11 million gallons. In 2010, Brooke spoke with Riki Ott - a marine toxicologist and author - who explained that the 11 million number is in fact a disputed figure the media have incorrectly adopted.
Friday, March 28, 2014
Brooke and Bob read a few of your letters and comments.
The World According to Google Maps
Friday, March 28, 2014
On Google Maps, Crimea is still a part of Ukraine, though Vladimir Putin is urging the mapping behemoth to redraw Russia's borders to include the Black Sea peninsula. Whatever Google decides, it's sure to be politically and culturally fraught.
Which Public Radio Hosts Are Our Hosts?
Friday, March 28, 2014
Brooke and Bob share their results from a number of quizzes - including Which Public Radio Host Are You? - and discuss what (if anything) they've learned about themselves and this viral sensation.
By the way, we have our own quiz, too! Find out which 19th century media baron you are here.
Taking Healthcare Literally
Friday, March 28, 2014
Bob speaks with Yurina Melara who covers public health for the Los Angeles-based La Opinion, the largest Spanish language daily in the US. She says that telling the 38 million Spanish-speaking Americans about Obamacare is only half the battle. The other half is making sure they understand what it is...beginning with the literal translation of "health care."
So Many Keys
Friday, March 21, 2014
Four times a year, members of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICAAN, take part in an elaborate ceremony (iris scanners!) designed to assure the world that the organization is doing its best to keep the web connected and safe. Brooke explains the meeting of the keyholders, with insight from Guardian reporter James Ball, who attended one of the ceremonies last month.
Russian Media Tropes, At Home and Abroad
Friday, March 21, 2014
Michael McFaul has just returned to Stanford University after a couple of tumultuous years in Moscow as the U.S. ambassador to Russia. He talks with Brooke about the tropes he saw in the Russian media while he was there, and what he's noticed in the American media since he's been back.
News and the Novel
Friday, March 21, 2014
For the past four years novelist David Bezmozgis has been writing a book set in Crimea. His forthcoming novel, The Betrayers, was intended to be set in August 2014, but that isn't possible now. Brooke speaks with Bezmozgis, as he sits between manuscript lock and book release, about trying to adjust his fictional story set in a fraught, factual place.
FOIA's Report Card
Friday, March 14, 2014
The Freedom of Information Act has been around since 1966, but according to a new report card, federal agencies haven't yet mastered the art of disclosing. Brooke speaks with Sean Moulton of the Center for Effective government, which just released The Access to Information Scorecard 2014, a sobering look at government transparency.
Stepping into the Light
Friday, March 14, 2014
As we've previously reported, US Customs and Border Protection, under the aegis of the Department of Homeland Security, is one of the least transparent agencies in the country. But late last week, sparked by a leak of a review done by the Police Executive Research Forum, CBP shone a little light on its processes. Brooke speaks to Brian Bennett, National Security Correspondent for the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, who was the recipient of that initial leaked report.
The Re-Birth of the First Amendment
Friday, March 14, 2014
Fifty years ago, the Supreme Court made a decision in the case New York Times v Sullivan that would forever alter the way journalists practiced journalism. Brooke speaks with Andrew Cohen, contributing editor at The Atlantic and fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice, about the decision's impact on the First Amendment.

My Detainment Story or: How I Learned To Stop Feeling Safe In My Own Country and Hate Border Agents
Friday, February 28, 2014
Back in September, OTM producer Sarah Abdurrahman, her family, and her friends were detained for hours by US Customs and Border Protection on their way home from Canada. Everyone being held was a US citizen, and no one received an explanation. Sarah tells the story of their detainment, and her difficulty getting any answers from one of the least transparent agencies in the country.
Shedding Light on DHS
Friday, February 28, 2014
Getting information from Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security is not just difficult for journalists and private citizens—even members of Congress have a hard time getting answers. Brooke speaks with Representative Beto O'Rourke of Texas' 16th District about the oversight needed to ensure more transparency from DHS.
And a crowdsourcing project to Shed Light on DHS!
Device Searches at the Border
Friday, February 28, 2014
The border is a legal gray area where the same constitutional protections one expects inside the country don't necessarily apply. When graduate student Pascal Abidor had his electronic devices searched and seized at the border back in 2010, he filed lawsuit against the federal government. But in December, a federal judge upheld the government's right to search travelers' devices at the border without a warrant. Brooke speaks with Pascal about his experience at the border and the lawsuit.
Cable Barons
Friday, February 21, 2014
The proposed merger of Comcast and Time Warner Cable could do more than mess with our TV and Internet bills. It could shape how many of us experience the flow of ideas. Brooke talks with communications law scholar Susan P. Crawford about the potential impact of this mega-merger on the information we access through Comcast's digital pipe.
Capturing Egypt's Neverending Story
Friday, February 21, 2014
The Oscar-nominated documentary "The Square" turns a lens on the Egyptian revolution and its aftermath through the eyes of three very different men whose lives intersected in Tahrir Square in 2011. Brooke talks with director Jehane Noujaim and producer Karim Amer about capturing Egypt's unfolding narrative on camera. Audio courtesy of the Paley Center for Media.
"Winter Chill" for Russian Media
Friday, February 07, 2014
As the global spotlight fixes on Sochi this weekend, the Russian government is crushing dissent...and there's a lot of it. As the Committee to Protect Journalists notes in a new report, people there have suffered long-lasting power outages, environmental damage, evictions, corruption, and widespread violation of labor laws. But local news organizations are silent on these issues, instead functioning as public relations agencies for the government. Brooke talks with Nina Ognianova about the stories that aren't being told in the Russian media.

Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous Festival
Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous Festival
Near the end of February, after a few months of sub-zero temperatures, Yukoners get a crazed look in their eyes and break out in grins for no apparent reason. It's time to cut loose and take part in the best-known cure for cabin fever, the annual Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous Festival.
A kind of Mardi Gras in mukluks, "Rendezvous" is an entire week of wintertime silliness and celebration. Downtown Whitehorse assumes a carnival atmosphere as streets are closed for games, concerts and snow carving, and individuals test their skills and stamina in northern contests like chainsaw chucking, axe throwing or flour packing. Even the military joins in the fun, with Canadian and American aircraft putting on the annual Rendezvous Air Show at Whitehorse International Airport.

Mumps is a contagious illness caused by a virus that infects the
salivary glands, especially the parotid glands (between the ear and the jaw), and
that sometimes infects other glands, particularly the testicles. The
glands become swollen and tender as a result of the infection.
Other symptoms include belly pain and flu-like problems. Mumps can affect people of all ages. In adults, symptoms may be more severe, and
complications are more likely. Most people get better with rest and home care. But some people need treatment in the hospital.
Although mumps is not common, it can spread to people who have not received the mumps vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella series).

Thomas Barnes (1785-1841), Editor of The Times
Sitter in 4 portraits
In 1811, Barnes began writing on literature, theatre and politics in papers and magazines including The Times. His political sketches in the Examiner were collected and published anonymously as Parliamentary Portraits in 1815. Barnes was appointed editor of The Times in 1817, a post that he held until his death. Under his editorship, The Times established a tradition of independent journalism becoming the country's leading newspaper. Barnes exerted influence in favour of the Reform bill, a campaign that earned both him and his paper the nickname 'the Thunderer'. In 1834, he was described by the Lord Chancellor, Lord Lyndhurst, as 'the most powerful man in the country'.

To her credit, being a bit off never seems to hurt her in the sexiness department. Doesn't matter if she putting out non-existent fires or messing about on the children's rides - her hotness remains intact. At least she's not doing that pink hair shit anymore. I get it that latex kilts and other such weirdness are part of her routine. It always felt criminal to abuse such beautiful black hair with a bunch of garish pigments. As far as I'm concerned, Katy can do whatever she likes with her stage gear. Just leave the locks alone. Also show some cleavage, but that goes without saying.

Thread: bitethefrog's Sketchpond

bitethefrog's Sketchpond
Thought I'd start a sketchbook over here, just a small selection of some of my favourite drawings. But a little more about me first...
I'm a design student based in South Wales, UK specialising in illustration, and print and screen-based design. I have always been passionate about design, illustration and all types of art since a very young age and I am fanatical about communication in all forms, from hieroglyphs to graffiti. However, I strongly believe that if a design does not communicate in any way, it is not applicable as a work of design. I think that because of my graphic design background, a lot of my work seems to focus on shapes and colour rather than realism... I post up some inspriations up here sometimes:http://staceyjenkins.tumblr.com
Now enough about me... onward to the sketchiepoos....I'm currently working on a graphic novel project at the moment called 'eglurhad' so a lot of the sketches here are related to that. I'm also designing human versions of Sonic The Hedgehog characters for a friend (I'm a sucker for my friends) but rather than translating them directly, I'm trying to figure out what roles they'd take in this world. And I'm an idiot...^.^''''
Eglurhad stuff
Currently painting this one up...thinking of Sonic as something of an athlete; perhaps even a kickboxer??

Latest sketch for this week's CHOW. The little girl is her sister Derizade. I don't know what I was thinking of when I doodled the little genie doll... still, it's cute.
September 10th, 2008 #4
I like the eglurhad chapter 1 picture but maybe you could push the darks more? If some parts of the characters upper bodies were in the darkness maybe it would be more dramatic. It would probably look even more dramatic if the light would come from underneath them, giving more
contrast to the face.
I like the concept of a human sonic, I do that for fun sometimes, thinking about what for example the turtles would look and be like humanized
Nice start!

Mumph: Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it! The eglurhad cover is simply a rough sketch. Me and Andrew are still figuring it out, and indeed, the project has undergone a name change into 'Cathddu'. Thanks anyway...
Talking about Cathddu... another illo.

Meals for hungry, athletic teens!
Hi, so I am going to a big tournament with my field hockey team, and our coach has given us a little extra competition. On our first night, we will each be responsible to make a dish for our team, and the coaches will pick a winning dish. I MUST WIN!! :)
Any ideas? I was thinking pasta, since everyone seems to like that.
One curveball is that the dish can't be meat based as there are veggies among us ie. it could be spaghetti and meatballs, but not roast chicken

Driving alone, just now, from Bountiful, Utah, to Orem, I was pleased to turn KBYU-FM on to a performance of Mozart's beautiful Ave Verum Corpus.
That was followed, to my delight, with Antonio Vivaldi's Gloria. Soon, I had the volume up full bore, and I was belting out not only the bass part but, when the basses weren't singing, some of the instrumental portions. It got rough at a few places, but, on the whole, I still remember it well.
Then came the LDS composer Leroy Robertson's wonderful setting of the Lord's Prayer. I joined on that one, too. Probably to the entertainment of others on the road.
The late Christopher Hitchens liked to say that "religion poisons everything."
In my judgment, he couldn't have been more wrong.
Religion surely didn't poison classical music.

At the time Sears would give you a refund even without a receipt. So, this time around (and believe me, I honestly think that the only way to save our civilisation is to get rid of corporations), the corps are not to blame; they were the victims of trying to help out.

Blog Links
Private Links
MCMS Resources
SharePoint Resources
Some of our field controls shipped with MOSS show a quite ugly behaviour as they add an extra entry after the field. Means an extra space.
This is especially ugly for the RichImageField control as it prevents two images to show up right beside each other. This article shows that this is actually a long known issue. But this article only shows a workaround which can be compared with the approach we used in CMS 2001 before we had custom placeholder controls: to hide the control in published mode, to read the content and then to modify it in the way we want to have it.
An approach in CMS 2002 would have been to create a custom placeholder for this. So only one single change and you can benefit from this anywhere on your site.
A similar approach can easily be implemented using a custom field control in MOSS.
A field control that would fix the problem discussed in this article would look like this:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.IO; using System.Web; using System.Web.UI; using Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.WebControls; namespace StefanG.SharePoint.WebControls { public class CorrectedRichImageField : RichImageField { protected override void RenderFieldForDisplay(HtmlTextWriter output) { // create a new tempWriter to consume the output from the base class TextWriter tempWriter = new StringWriter(); base.RenderFieldForDisplay(new HtmlTextWriter(tempWriter)); // capture the output of the base class and do the required adjustments string newHtml = tempWriter.ToString().Replace(" ", ""); // write out the corrected html output.Write(newHtml); } } }
If you need information about how to implement such a field control please have a look at the relevant topic in the SDK:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa981226.aspx
Thanks for the tip. My team have started evaluating MOSS as a WCM platform and we've run into issues re accessibility and poor markup (tables being used instead of CSS, spacers, etc) when using the standard controls so this technique will come in very handy. Do you know if there are plans to provide web standards-friendly controls in future (e.g. via service pack or separate download)?
Hi Mark,
the same question often came up with CMS 2002 and the anwer was usually that this should be addressed with custom placeholder controls.
So I would not expect it. But if enough requirements from customers arrive through service requests it might be that this question will be evaluated again for a service pack in the future.
Not the answer I wanted to hear but thanks for replying all the same :-)
Oen question on RichImageFields: Is it possible to have a custom page layout with multiple PageImages on it?? I've tried many times, today, but couldn't get it to work.
FieldName was set to PublishingPageImage, ID was set to something sifferent for each instance.
Page 'renders' correctly in Sharepoint Designer, and when edititing the page in Sharepoint I get to see the placeholders and I can set an image to it, but When I save, all Image-fields show the exect same image, regardless of how I set them...
Any thoughts on this?
Hi Iskander,
first you need to create a content type to be used by your page layout. The page layout is just the rendering window for the content type. For each field control you add you need to have an individual column in the content type.
Then bind the different field controls to the different columns.
I tried to apply the same technique in my base class that my page layouts inherits from. But when I did that all the data from the field controls appeared in the beginning of the page and not inside the page. Anybody knows anything about that?
// Mats
protected override void Render(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer)
TextWriter tempWriter = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter htmlWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(tempWriter);
// capture the external url and replace with internal one
string host = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host;
string oldHost = "violin2005-vp:48125";
string newHtml = tempWriter.ToString().Replace(oldHost, host);
// write out the corrected html
Hi Stefan,
My biggest issue with controls are the web parts that come out of the box or even custom built ones. The web part is wrapped with table tags. Has anyone tried css adapters for web parts?
i have a question.
i want to repalce my own modified Datetime control instead of sharepoint original datetime control. is it possible?
Sed Taha
Hi Sed,
if this is on a page layout you can do this.
Best would be to derive your control from the original one.
Can you show an example of this being used in an aspx page?
Hi Ed,
you can only use this in a page layout - like the original field controls comming with MOSS.
You have to open the page layout using SharePoint Designer and then you have to replace the original RichImageField control with the CorrectedRichImageField in Html View.
Also ensure to register the namespace of your DLL and class at the top.
Have a look in the SDK for details.
Does it mather what namespace you use? Do it have to end with .SharePoint.WebControls?
The namespace can be different.
Just ensure that you add the correct namespace as a reference in your page layout.
We came across a random issue lately where a publishing image (RichImageField) does not render correctly
And i use RenderFieldForDisplay for my custom render.
DisplayPattern is hard to use for me.

How to make money with Affinity
Established in 2006, Affinity serve the needs of web publishers around the world. It was the time when publishers were running after Google Adsense. Today Affinity is a renowned contextual advertising network similar to Adsense. Publishers are allowed to make money with affinity program. The advertising campaigns run by affinity are CPM (Cost per 1000 impressions), PPC ( Pay per click), CPL (cost per lead) and CPA (Cost per action). Affinity encourages publishers to join publisher program when their site content is clean and legitimate. Unlike other ad networks Affinity doesn't demand minimum traffic ( Page impressions).
The different ad formats offered by Affinity are In-text, Tag cloud, In-footer, In-page and In-image. However, some formats are available in selected countries only. Most of you might have used Infolinks or Kontera In-Text ads on your site. I recommend Affinity In-text ads too. In-footer monetization is also a great way to boost your earnings. The In-footer ads on your site are either graphic or text banner. The revenue model could be CPM, CPC, CPA and CPL depending on the campaigns. You need to add code to each sub-domain if you want to show ads on them. Publishers can track their earnings on their account dashboard. Affinity simply deduct the earnings generated with click fraud activity.
Affinity pays you via Paypal or Wire transfer on Net 45 basis. The threshold payment for Paypal is $50 and $1000 for Wire transfer. You need to submit W-8 or W-9 tax form to receive earnings.
1. It works well with other ad networks. But make sure the two ads look dissimilar in size and color.
2. Affinity offers 80% revenue share to its publishers. I haven't seen any advertising network which has come up with so much higher revenue share.
3. eCPM is pretty high when compared to other ad networks which is really a good sign for publishers.
4. The ads shown are relevant to your content. But, some times publishers may see non-relevant ads on their sites.
1. Affinity won't accept Non-English sites.
2. No affiliate program
You may also be interested to read Make money with Media.net
Join Affinity as a publisher
Final conclusion : It is all about how publishers can make money with Affinity. Affinity is good if the publisher site attracts good traffic. Try it once as you have nothing to lose. If you find Affinity review helpful please do share it with your friends.

Hi Akshay,
Thanks for the comment. Keep visiting.
How much they pay for 1000 impression
Thank you for stopping by my post. The eCPM rate of Affinity purely depends on the location. If your traffic comes from US and Europe then eCPM may be around $1 or even higher. I have heard eCPM rates are low for Asian traffic.
I tried Affinity. It didn't work for me. Something went wrong with the script at my website.
Could you elaborate it further?
No problem. When I first installed the script (about a year ago), it was fine. One day (about a week or 2 weeks ago) I went to visit my site to click on the home page and kept getting redirected to a domain that did not exist. I went to the workshop for my website, took out the Affinity script. The site works fine now! Since I have never generated any income from using it, I moved on!
I mean maybe it works for other people. But how I saw it, it wasn't worth a follow-up to ensure corrective action. After all the time the script was on my site, zero $ is zero $ Moving on! My time is money too! Holler!
Did you mail this problem to 'Support' people? They would have resolved your issue.
OK. OK. It's been so long, now I would have to look up contact info for them and everything. But if you think it's worth a try, maybe I will. But not today. I got a lot on my plate already.
If that is the case then you could look for other programs.
Hi! I tried to follow up and apparently I am no longer in their system. I won't be reapplying because of the reasons I indicated. Hope this works for others who use Affinity.
FYI. I wanted to reply via the comment string we started, but your system kept directing a reply to the commenter named "Charles".
So I just wrote a brand new comment.
Hi Treathyl,
Nice to hear from you again. So I hope you are doing good with other programs. Commenting system is fine at my end. Your comment is published on the same thread.
Yeah the other programs you mention here at this blog that I am trying work for me. I'm not trying to bad-mouth the company. I'm just saying their program didn't work for me. BTW, this time the reply thingamabob is working.
P.S. I also like the fact that when I comment I can change the website via the profile and associate a new link with my name. That's neat!!!
Several times I applied for Affinity but they keep rejecting my site saying "We are afraid that there isn't a good traffic and blah and blah"
Really got irritated because of this.
Am getting minimum of 300 unique visitors (Tracking through statcounter.com), the day when I applied, actually got around 600 unique visitors but still they are saying that my site doesn't have good traffic.
In their site requirements for Publishers, they have mentioned that they dont see any minimum traffic then what the hell they are looking for. They seem to put too much fuss.
I even contacted the publishers support but there isn't any reply from them. Feel like rejecting them forever.
Please let me know whether you have any ideas on this?
B. Charles
Hi Charles,
I can understand your problem. May I know the niche, location, page views per month and traffic sources. I'll try to figure out.

Could you please tell me affinity's CTR? By the way what is Wire transfer?
Hi Alok,
Affinity pays on eCPM basis (1000 Pageviews). They pay around $1 or more for US traffic and low for Asian traffic.
Wire transfer is a type of EFT ( Electronic Fund Transfer). Amount would be transfered directly to your bank account.
Thanks for asking mate. Keep visiting.
Thanks For the amazing Post written for bloggers And specially for newbies. Thanks again.
Nice Post! I am using affinity for 6 months now and they pay $0.40-$0.80 per 1000 impressions. But most of my traffic is from Asian countries.
Thanks for the info Sriniwas. I wish you great success with Affinity.
