Time magazine political analyst Joe Klein made the comment as a guest with Jeff Greenfield on the program 92Y American Conversation. Klein lamented about CNN having "gone to the toilet" and the lack of news on the left-leaning MSNBC and suggested the only legitimate "straight newscast" at 6 PM nightly is Special Report with Brett Baier on the Fox News Channel.
"It's such an embarassment to our profession," Klein said about the state of CNN, which he says, "has gone in the toilet the way it has." Klein was talking about the way the network obsessed over covering the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 despite little or not factual information to be reported on the issue. Even Rush Limbaugh has ridiculed CNN's coverage of Flight 370, noting how one guest quite absurdly suggested the plane was sucked into a black hole. For low information voters and readers out there, if a black hole has sucked up Flight 370, it would have taken the planent and maybe the whole solar system along with it. Perhaps the same Flat Earth Society members who think we could survive being absorbed by a black hole think we as humans are able to cause global warming as well.
"I come home," Klein stated, "and I turn on CNN at 6 o'clock at night because that's something I kinda do in preparation for the 6:30 network news to see what Wolf [Blitzer] is being really hyperbolic about, and he's talking about the plane!"
Klein noted the only other option during the 6 PM news hour is, "to go to MSNBC and see the Rev. Al Sharpton, who I still consider to be a major criminal. The guy can have a job on network TV, on the NBC cable network, and he still hasn't apologized for Tawana Brawley. Give me a break!"
With those as choices, Klein said the only legitimate "straight newscast" is to turn to Special Report with Bret Baier on the Fox News Channel. Fox News often gets branded as "right wing news" by the far left because it has does have right-leaning commentary and analysis programs such as The Sean Hannity Show, but therer is nothing right-leaning about the news programs that are produced by, as Shepherd Smith likes to say, "the journalists of Fox News." The news broadcasts on the channel, such as Special Report with Bret Baier, as closer to "fair and balanced" straight news than any programs seen on CNN or MSNBC.
The three old school "major" networks (ABC, CBS and NBC), in their news departments, don't practice very much journalism or news reporting anymore. They are public relations departments for the Democrat Party and the far left, or as Limbaugh has called them, "Democrats with by-lines." They are clearly part of what my Examiner.com colleague Joe Newby calls the Democrat Media Complex.
Joe Klein has recently discovered what millions of viewers have known for years, if you want straight news you watch the news programs of Fox News. Perhaps the best of those truly is the Special Report hour, which was formerly hosted by Brit Hume, who retired from full time news broadcasting and was replaced quite well with Bret Baier.

COLUMBIA CITY — A local governing board examined variances with its finances in light of a recent audit and is hoping to have found the solution.
As is the case with every governing body, the Whitley County Solid Waste Management District (WCSWMD) was audited by the State Board of Accounts.
WCSWMD's report was released Jan. 31. The board of accounts noted on the audit some faults with the district. However, one of those problems could be the solution.
The district was noted for not having an accounting software program that lined up with what the state board of accounts desired. There is now a new software program known as Keystone being used by WCSWMD, and that could be the solution to some problems.
"We have not had the proper software that the state board of accounts wanted us to have," said Tom Rethlake, president of the Solid Waste Board and county commissioner. "Now that we have it hopefully some of these problems will be solved."
WCSWMD Director Jorell Tucker said Keystone could make a big difference.

UWM faculty member tests 'Superhuman'
- Kristian O'Connor (right), chair of the Department of Human Movement Sciences in the College of Health Sciences, evaluated Wisconsinite and "Human Spring" Aaron Evans for the "Stan Lee's Superhumans" series.
"Stan Lee's Superhumans" series on the History.com and History channel tapped UW-Milwaukee Associate Professor Kristian O'Connor for an episode that airs tonight, Nov. 3, at 9 p.m. Central time.
O'Connor, chair of the Department of Human Movement Sciences in the College of Health Sciences, evaluated Wisconsinite and "Human Spring" Aaron Evans for the series.
In tonight's episode, "Superhumans" host Daniel Browning Smith meets Evans in a gym, where Evans is performing 7-foot-high jumps. O'Connor measures the Wisconsin man's muscle performance at UWM's labs. Evans then proceeds with his attempt to jump over a moving car.
O'Connnor explains that "the host travels the world looking for 'superhumans,' then asks local scientists to explain how the person is able to do what they do."
He continues: "While not my primary area of research, it is something I have a background in, and I teach coursework related to sport performance. I also worked for the U.S. Olympic Committee for a time between my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, so I was actually well-positioned to help them."
The lab equipment from the Neuromechanics Laboratory used for this project included the forceplate, EMG system and isokinetic dynamometer. "We used the forceplate to assess his jumping ability and how much force he can generate. The isokinetic dynamometer was used to assess his quadriceps' muscle strength. The EMG was used to examine how quickly he was able to activate his muscles. Good jumpers are not necessarily the strongest, but are very good at ramping up their muscle force quickly."
O'Connor says while he's not sure how much of the lab session will make the show's final cut, he also was surprised to find himself part of the second-day shoot, when the "Human Spring" attempted to jump over a car at a warehouse on the South Side.
"I am curious to see how it is all put together into a 15-minute segment," says O'Connor.

Making Your Miles Count
Tim Winship spent more than 20 years in the travel business, developing and managing frequent-travel programs for Singapore Airlines Ltd. SINGY -1.49 % , All Nippon Airways Co. ALNPY 2.91 % and Hilton Hotels. In 1997, he launched the Web site FrequentFlier.com to help travelers navigate the smorgasbord of frequent-flyer programs.
The co-author of "Mileage Pro: The Insider's Guide to Frequent Flyer Programs" recently spoke with The Wall Street Journal about getting the most out of redeemable miles.
Converting Miles
Read Tim Winship's brief overview of the complicated issue of moving frequent-flyer miles between programs, in his column on SmarterTravel.com.
WSJ: How have frequent-flyer programs changed in recent years?
Mr. Winship: The long-term trend has been the evolution of these programs from frequent-flyer programs to frequent-buyer programs. In the beginning, these programs were designed to reward loyalty specifically to an airline. From there they expanded to include rental cars and hotels. And beginning probably eight or 10 years ago, they began expanding quite aggressively to include nontravel partners. Today, if you look at a fully developed program like American Airlines, for example—American has more than a thousand program partners.
And those program partners are by no means confined to the travel sector. You can earn miles at hundreds of online merchants. You can earn miles from mortgages. You can earn miles from signing up for Netflix. The question these days isn't "What can you earn miles from?," it's "What can't you earn miles from?"
WSJ: I hear miles aren't worth as much these days.
Mr. Winship: There are two sides of the program. There is the earning side and the burning side [the redemption side]. What's happening because of all the additional opportunities to earn miles [is that] more people have more miles in their accounts and that has made it much more difficult for the airlines to deliver on the promise of free trips when it comes time for people to redeem their miles. It's very simple supply and demand.
Even as the number of outstanding miles has exploded in the past couple of years, the airlines have been cutting back on the number of flights, the number of available seats. Flights today are running quite full. Here is the ugly picture: You've got all these people with all these frequent-flyer miles out there. The airlines are running almost full and the last thing they want to do is to give away a seat to someone who is not generating any revenue.
The overall result has been increased dissatisfaction from a consumer standpoint with these programs and the decrease in value of a frequent-flyer mile. When you think of what a frequent flyer is worth, what you have to factor in that is the hassle factor of actually getting a seat when it comes time to redeem. It's not like cash where you can buy an unrestricted seat on the open market. When you're redeeming a frequent-flyer mile, you're going after very constrained inventory.
WSJ: Are the airlines doing this on purpose?
Mr. Winship: The airlines have very direct control of how many seats are available for award use. It's what they call yield management. It's a very sophisticated undertaking on the part of the airlines. It is done largely with computers. It's done on a flight-by-flight, day-by-day, hour-by-hour basis. The software looks at the profile of a given flight—what's the departure date, how many days until departure, how many seats haven't been sold and, based on past performance, what is the likelihood that the flight will sell out. And based on all those different variables a certain number of seats are allocated for award use. When the airlines are—as they are currently—in a profit pinch situation, they can adjust the algorithm such that award seats are kept to a minimum until the very last minute just because they are just that desperate for that last minute revenue passenger.
WSJ: Which are the best frequent-flyer programs?
Mr. Winship: The best program is the program that works best for you given your individual travel and consumption behavior. Often times that will be driven largely or exclusively by where you live, because that commits you to a particular airport. There are different ways of approaching this depending on how you earn the bulk of your miles, but if you're someone that earns a significant portion of your miles from actually traveling, then the first consideration should be your hometown airport. All airports have their dominant carrier. For example, if you live in Dallas, probably 90-95% of the flights that you're going to want to make from and returning to Dallas are going to be available on American Airlines. It's just going to make sense for you to invest, and as much as possible invest exclusively, in American's program.
WSJ: But for a place like New York, what should I be thinking?
Mr. Winship: New York you have more options. Then you'd want think about where do you most often travel to, and then think about which airlines have the most service to those destinations. What you're trying to do basically is align your natural travel and consumption behavior with a particular program.
WSJ: What are the easiest ways to rack up miles?
Mr. Winship: After actual flight miles, the second largest source of earned frequent-flyer miles is from credit cards that are linked to the various airline programs.
WSJ: What is the best overall credit card to use to rack up some miles?
Mr. Winship: The question should not be which credit card should I use. The first question is which airline program should I participate in. And then, when you answer that question, then the credit-card choice is made for you.
WSJ: How do you consolidate your miles easily?
Mr. Winship: There is no good way to consolidate once you've earned the miles in different programs. You end up taking an enormous hit when you try to consolidate … if you can even do it at all. You usually end up losing 80-90% of the miles in the conversion process. What you should do is choose a program that will work best for you and then do everything you can to consolidate your earnings within that program.
Everything else being equal, you're better off participating in a program with more partners than one with fewer partners. You will simply have more opportunities to earn miles. In practice, what that means is that programs like American, United, Continental, Delta, US Airways. The big programs that are fully built out with partnerships.
WSJ: What are some sites or programs to help you keep track of your miles?
Mr. Winship: There are a number of online mileage-tracking programs. One of which is MileageManager.com. Another one that I'm associated with personally is MilePort. (Mr. Winship is a MilePort business partner.)
WSJ: What are "mileage runs"? Are they worth it?
Mr. Winship: The purpose of a mileage run is typically not so much to earn redeemable miles, its typically to earn elite qualifying miles. It's people who are trying to reach elite status, or elevate from a lower elite tier to a higher elite tier. To your question: "Is it worth it?" For people who travel a lot the principal benefit of elite status is upgrades. If you are someone who travels a lot then upgrades can be a hugely valuable perk.
WSJ: What are currently some of the issues and trends that most people complain about with frequent-flyer programs?
Mr. Winship: What I hear the most in terms of complaints is award availability. [Then] noncombinability of miles. The question is typically, "I've got X number of miles at a Southwest Airlines account, and Y number of miles in an United Airlines account. How can I combine them?" There is a common sense notion out there that miles are a currency. One of the defining characteristics of currencies are that they're interchangeable, that there is some kind of exchange rate. When it comes to frequent flyer miles, people assume that the exchange rate should be 1 to 1.

BACKSTAGE – Actors Mark Webber and Teresa Palmer started their collaboration over email. Wrote, produced, and starred in a feature about an entertainment industry marriage. Had a son and got married. Who says independent film is a dead end?
The couple, whose The Ever After had its world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival June 12, said the experience was surprisingly conflict-free.
"It was challenging at some points—but in a good way," Webber told Backstage. "We both really held each other accountable and pushed each other. I think we always do a really good job of communicating with one another."
They aren't the first performers to end up married after being in a similar onscreen relationship. But their low-budget independent film, which they partly shot in their Los Angeles home, was more of a labor of love than, say, Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
"Mark really understands the vulnerability you have when you're on set," said Palmer, who's reportedly in line for the female lead in the Point Break remake. "He knew exactly how to direct me in a gentle, beautiful way. It ended up being a really seamless collaboration."
The Ever After, which the couple made for a budget of around $250,000, opens off with a montage of Thomas (Webber) and Ava (Palmer) going from clubbing to a seaside marriage ceremony. It then cuts to years later when the couple has a daughter and a relationship that's starting to unravel.
"We wanted to explore what it was like to be a married couple and to bring it on screen and see the peaks and valleys of what that is," said Palmer, whose character is grappling with being a former actor turned stay-home mom.
"There are some parallels," she said. "We draw from my own personal experiences of being an actor, but I play a schizophrenic woman and that's certainly not something I deal with in my everyday life."
Meanwhile, Joshua Leonard, who has a small, but sinister role in The Ever After, said production center festivals like Tribeca and Los Angeles are still relevant in the digital age.
"Mark [Webber] and I met on the festival circuit. Most of my closest collaborators and comrades I met on the festival circuit," said Leonard, a famed independent film actor whose career started with The Blair Witch Project.
"I don't know from a utilitarian, distribution angle, but from a getting out and meeting your audience and meeting your fellow filmmakers [angle], I think it's a fantastic forum."
With thanks to the talented Gemma Pranita, I've added a beautiful new photoshoot of Teresa taken on the very day she gave birth to her baby boy, Bodhi Rain. Be sure to take a look.
Regaring the site, you are probably wondering what has been going on since there have been no updates since last summer–my deepest apologies for allowing that to happen. Once news slowed down with Teresa I got pretty lazy and simply allowed the site to exist rather than finding other things to update or expand upon. I have quite a few things planned for Teresa Palmer Web and I hope that you'll stick with me until those changes are completed. Thank you for your patience!

I've uploaded the first still of Teresa from her upcoming movie Cut Bank to the gallery – and what a gorgeous photo it is! You can also read the synopsis for the film below.
Dwayne McLaren (Liam Hemsworth, Hunger Games), a high school star athlete recently turned auto mechanic, dreams of getting out of tiny Cut Bank, MT – the coldest town in America – and whisking his pageant-hopeful girlfriend, Cassandra (Teresa Palmer), away to the big city. But his plan to do so sets in motion a deadly series of events and thrusts him into a police investigation headed by Sheriff Vogel (John Malkovich), the protector of Cut Bank and the closest thing Dwayne has to a father figure. Panic sweeps across the community in mere hours, but things are not what they seem. Cassandra's father Big Stan Steeley (Billy Bob Thornton) is the only one who seems to realize this. However, the damage is already done and the events that unfold change Dwayne's life – and the life of the town – forever.

INDIEWIRE.COM – As you know, there are approximately five thousand actors who have walked onto the set and in front of a camera for Terrence Malick's next effort "Knight Of Cups," a drama set against the backdrop of the movie industry, one of two features he's prepping along with a still untitled flick that takes place amongst the Austin music scene. And one of the talents that got to spend some time with Malick on 'Cups' was rising Australian actress Teresa Palmer, who was last seen onscreen in the zombie rom-com "Warm Bodies" and features in the upcoming thriller "Wish You Were Here." And like many who have collaborated with the press shy filmmaker, she wholeheartedly enjoyed the experience.
Last week, we had the pleasure of chatting with Palmer about 'Wish' but of course, had to inquire about her work on Malick's film. And what started as a schedule that wasn't supposed to last longer than a day, turned into something much more, with Palmer being utilized to shake up the story and characters in the film.
"I was only supposed to be there for one morning and…they call it 'torpedo' when a character in a cast comes and gets thrown into the scene and the other actor doesn't know that character is going to be put in the scene. That's just the little experiment they do," Palmer explained. "So the end of when I was supposed to go home, Terence asked me, 'What are you doing the rest of the day?' I was like 'Nothing, nothing at all.' And then he was like, 'Would you like to stay and we'll make you a torpedo.' So I ended up torpedoing into these scenes with Christian Bale and then that continued on for the next eight days. So I was brought back and this character became a bigger character and I got to improvise and it was just a funny, sassy character that's different from a lot of the other characters that I've seen in some of Terry's past films."
Teresa was in attendance at last night's Costume Institute Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Looking strikingly gorgeous, Teresa was wearing a Diane von Furstenberg dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, jewelry by Forevermark and completed her look with darkened eyebrows and side braided hair. Red is most definitely her color!

Exactly 30 years ago Malcolm Forbes' most enduring brainchild–a ranking of the richest people in America–came to fruition. The Forbes 400 proved a phenomenon as soon as it launched. Three decades later it's an American icon. Each of the 400 stories testifies to the American Dream. When measured together, they serve as an annual marker for the dynamism of free enterprise.
For this 30th Anniversary Issue, we decided to raise the bar : Rather than congregate only on the printed page, what if we actually summoned the 400 to come together in person? Specifically, what if the most financially successful people in America, leveraging their resources and the results-driven mind-set that created that success, tried to solve the world's most intractable problems? To literally change the world?
So on June 26, 161 billionaires and near-billionaires gathered at the New York Public Library for The Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy, the greatest-ever meeting of its kind. Oprah Winfrey kicked off the day, and Warren Buffett and Bill Gates also gave keynote talks. Melinda Gates, Diane Von Furstenberg and Jacqueline Novogratz headlined a panel about giving to women and girls. Marc Andreessen, Marc Benioff and Jim Breyer talked about using tech-driven metrics to improve philanthropic efficacy. Jon Bon Jovi chatted with Steve Forbes about using fame as a force for good. (And he ended the event with a once-in-a-lifetime ukelele duet for charity with Buffett.)
The Forbes E-book On Warren BuffettThe $59 Billion Philanthropist, chronicling 50 years of Buffett's investment savvy and unprecedented giving, is available now for download.
The highlight of the day was a roundtable featuring six all-time great philanthropists — Warren Buffett, Bill and Melinda Gates, Steve Case, David Rubenstein and Leon Black — who have collectively pledged or given over $100 billion to charity (with the heaviest lifting from the first three, who also spearheaded The Giving Pledge). With just the smallest nudging from yours truly, this historic sextet provided one of the great primers on how to give back effectively — and why it's important.
FORBES: For the first time the phrase "this panel needs no introduction" is actually true. The big question: Do people who've been successful have a moral obligation to give? Is it an emotional decision–"I can do good"–or an intellectual decision–"I feel an obligation to do good"?
MELINDA GATES: It's both, but I won't say the emotional piece is because I have an obligation. Any time you give, it has to be from your heart. One of the amazing things about philanthropy, at least for us, is getting out into the world and talking to people. And you realize how similar people are in terms of what they want and their needs. So, for me, it's a heart tug that I feel and that I carry every time I come back home, be it Seattle or New York.
But then it's your intellectual head that you have to put on, which says, "Okay, so I met that one person" or "that one family" or "that group of villagers," but how do I impact tens of millions? How do I use this money that's at our disposal to have the very biggest impact?
DAVID RUBENSTEIN: I agree. My theory is, number one, you should give money because when you give money, it's selfish. Nobody who gives away money says, "I feel terrible about myself. I hate myself for giving away that money." You feel better about yourself, and when you feel better about yourself, you're gonna live longer, because your emotional health will be better.
Second, you might actually help somebody. You never know. All the times you try to do something, it doesn't always work. But sometimes you might actually help people. And it's a natural human instinct to help other people. And third, you might get to heaven more quickly. Now, I can't prove that, but why would we take a chance?
You can only do three things with money. You can give it to your children, you can give it to your executor to give away or you can give it away while you're alive. And my theory is, it's much better to give it away while you're alive. How much can you give to your children before you completely spoil and ruin them? Very few people who inherit gigantic sums have gone on to change the world for the better. Generally the people who've changed the world for the better are people who made it on their own and ultimately didn't want to just distribute wealth to somebody else. If you can give away as much money as you can while you're alive, you'll realize the benefits that I just mentioned, you'll feel much better about yourself–and your children will feel much better about you.
STEVE CASE: And there are three different ways to give. One is to give money, write a check, which is important. Two is to give your time and really focus on the issue with passion. And three, essentially, is to give your reputation, leverage your network and try to plug people together. Initially [my wife] Jean and I did some startups. We gave a fair amount of money away. Then we started investing in kind of what we thought of as not startups but speed-ups, organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Special Olympics, trying to expand their efforts.
For probably seven or eight years we actually didn't have a website, which is odd given all the money came from the Internet. We thought it would be better just to kind of quietly do it. But then we realized we really weren't using our most unique and precious assets, which are the ability to connect people together, build collaborations, shine a spotlight on issues. Which really led us to commit to the Giving Pledge. It wasn't so much making a public commitment–it was more trying to leverage everybody's expertise and create a network effect around the givers.
FORBES: Melinda, you talked about giving around something you're personally passionate about. You and Bill have given to a lot of things, such as vaccines, that are very abstract and far away from us. How do you get people excited about things like that?

Question on the CHNI forum:
2 Thessalonians 2:11 says that those who refuse to accept the love of the truth will be sent strong delusion from God. To what extent do we understand this? It is hard to say that God would be responsible for leading someone to delusion, but is it only because a person has ultimately rejected God's attempt to lead them to the truth? I guess my question is along the lines of if God can only do good, to what extent can He contribute to someone's delusion or the effects of it.
This is a typically pungent Hebraism for God allowing something to happen in His Providence. It really all hinges on free will. Man can choose to follow God and His precepts and commands or not. When we do not, we become more and more hardened. This is a recurrent motif in the Bible: "hardening of hearts" (see nine examples of it). Sometimes it is said that the person hardened their heart; sometimes that God did it. The latter is in the sense that I have described above (from the information we receive by comparing Scripture with Scripture and harmonizing all of the Bible). Man is responsible for his own sin.
God allows such people their freedom to rebel, which in turn entails the devil getting in there and making things worse (just as God allowed the devil to tempt Job). So in a sense to say that "God did so-and-so" when He simply allowed it to take place, is an assertion of God's overall Providence. God is asserting that He is in control. There is also a strong sarcastic element in this sort of biblical concept (that we see in Job and often in the prophets), as if God were saying, "okay; you don't want to follow Me and do what is best for you? You know better than I do about that? Very well, then, I'll let you become blind and deluded. See how well off you'll be then."
Strictly speaking, that isn't how God thinks or acts, but it was an anthropomorphism to help practical, concrete, non-philosophical Hebrew man relate at all to God. I dealt with related issues in these papers (three in reply to an atheist and one in response to a Calvinist):
Supposed Contradiction Between 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21 (God or Satan as Cause?)
On the Alleged Contradictions of 2 Samuel 24, and 1 Chronicles 21 and 27
Did God Harden Pharaoh's Heart? (Does God Positively Ordain Evil?)

When four of the nation's most energy-efficient houses are sold, the new homeowners can opt to allow the research project to continue, providing additional data that could make houses of tomorrow even better. This would also enable researchers to compare simulated occupant effect on energy use with actual occupancy. Over the last three years, the Wolf Creek subdivision houses in Oak Ridge used less than half the electricity of the average new house of the same size. Making these savings possible were new heat pump water heater and geothermal integrated heat pump technologies, high-efficiency appliances, new envelope techniques and other energy-saving strategies. The ZEBRAlliance, ,http://www.zebralliance.com/, houses were designed and built by a team comprised of Schaad Companies, BarberMcMurry Architecture, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee Valley Authority, the Department of Energy and industry partners.

Philippe Coutinho has revealed how he is hitting the gym in a bid to become a fully-fledged Barclays Premier League star.
The Brazilian has impressed since moving to Liverpool from Inter Milan in January, claiming one goal and two assists in three starts.
Though satisfied with how things have gone so far, Coutinho is undergoing extra work in order to come to terms with the physical nature of the English game.
He told Liverpoolfc.com: "It is very different here. In Brazil the game is very open, the defenders are not as tight with the attacker. I think this is the hardest thing here.
"Also, the game is very quick - but I feel I can improve these things during training and improve my intensity.
"I have been doing some body building, too, so I can get more used to the physicality."
Though he is just 20 years old, the Barclays Premier League is the fourth top-flight division Coutinho has played in having featured in Serie A, La Liga and the Brazilian league.
He's well placed, therefore, to discuss the different styles of play in each country.
"English football is very quick, it has great intensity, and I think this is the big difference [to other leagues]," he continued.
"In Brazil, football is slower, the tactics are a bit more open and the pitch even seems to be bigger - even though it is obviously the same size - due to the game being so open.
"In Italy, it is a little bit different than it is in Brazil, but here in England it is very quick. I played in Italy and in Spain but the intensity of the game here is very strong. I just have to improve to be able to play at the highest level here.
"I will always give my best and then try to score and create good moves to help the team win."
Coutinho already appears to have struck up an understanding with South American compatriot Luis Suarez - a man whose talents he believes are not of this world.
"Suarez is phenomenal - he is otherworldly," said the No.10. "The goals he scores, the way he gives himself to the team... It is very important and I am very happy to be able to play next to him.
"I think it's the way he gives himself to the team - he fights all the time and chases all the time. He doesn't let one ball go - even if it's the hardest one.
The new boy on Lucas and settling in
"He fights all the time to win and I admire that in a player. I think it is one of his strong points.
"I'm not only happy to play next to him, but also other players like Steven [Gerrard], who is phenomenal, too. These are guys from another world!"
Despite feeling as though he still has much more to offer, Coutinho could hardly have wished for a better start to Anfield life.
He concluded: "I'm very happy here. I am at a great club, I am wearing a shirt that has a great history and what I have noticed in the last few weeks here is that the whole group is very united, strong and fights for their aims. I hope I can learn more and more with my teammates here."

Firdha Novialita
A human rights group on Tuesday criticized President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's plan to propose an international protocol against religious defamation at a United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York on Tuesday.
"We seriously condemn the president's blasphemy resolution," M. Choirul Anam, deputy director of the Human Rights Working Group, said at a press conference on Tuesday in Jakarta. "This shows a setback in Indonesian diplomacy."
Yudhoyono said at a press conference over the weekend that he would propose the international protocol at the UN's 67th General Assembly, in the interest of maintaining world peace and preventing conflict.
"Indonesia has a moral obligation to convey opinions and also to think of an international protocol on how we can prevent actions or initiatives that could be categorized as religious blasphemy, from one religion to another," Yudhoyono said.
Yudhoyono's announcement came in the wake of a recently released anti-Islam film that has incited protests, some violent, across the globe.
Choirul said regardless, Yudhoyono's proposal amounted to retrograde diplomacy and tainted the image of Indonesia.
"[An anti-] blasphemy resolution threatens minority groups," Choirul said. "Proposing a blasphemy [protocol] means we're asking other countries to do bad things. This threatens world peace."
HRWG stated that the government should have learned from its implementation of the nation's 1965 Blasphemy Law, which the rights group said has been used to tolerate or justify violence in the name of religion.
"In the Tajul Muluk case that used the Blasphemy Law, the punishment was heavier, from an [initial] two [years in prison] into four years," Choirul said, referring a decision by the East Java high court to extend the sentence first handed down by a district court. "With this resolution, it means calling for the world to get worse."
Tajul is a Shiite leader in Sampang, East Java, who was convicted by the district court there of religious defamation on July 12. Prosecutors found him guilty of spreading teachings that contradicted mainstream Islam and had caused "public anxiety."
Tajul's followers in Sampang have been attacked multiple times by Sunni Muslims for their adherence to the cleric's teachings. Two Shiite followers were killed and several others were injured in one mob attack in late August.

Matter of Contention: Relics and Other Sacred Objects at the Crossroads of Religious Tradition
Mon, April 23, 2012 • 8:15 AM - 5:30 PM • Student Activity Center, Legislative Assembly Room (SAC 2.302)
An interdisciplinary colloquium at The University of Texas at Austin.
Conference website: http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/rs/events/Matter-of-Contention/About.php
This colloquium explores contention and competition over relics or other mobile repositories of religious power among the communities that venerate or value them. Our goal is to push the study of relics and other sacred objects beyond their location and function within seemingly discrete religious traditions to consider the material and social factors that conditioned their ongoing relevance across multiple-and often rival-religious communities. Religious rivalry over objects takes a variety of forms, ranging from physical conflicts for the possession of material remains to discursive arguments about such objects' meanings and narratives. While participants will examine particular examples according to their areas of specialization, the colloquium as a whole will consider broader patterns across space, time, and cultural context.
Primary Sponsors: Harrington Fellowship Program; Department of Religious Studies
Co-sponsored by: Center for Middle Eastern Studies; Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies; South Asia Institute; Department of Asian Studies; Department of History
Free & open to the public.

Development of the movement:
Girl Guiding began in Thailand in 1957 and the Girl Guides Association of Thailand was formally registered in 1958. The Association received visits from World Association trainers, and Guiding expanded rapidly with the formation of Guide companies all over the country. In 1962 the Association was granted Royal Patronage by Her Majesty Queen Sirikit.
The Association's headquarters in Bangkok were opened in 1967 and consist of an administrative block with adjoining hostel which provides facilities for visiting Association members, guest rooms, a cafeteria, Guide shop, swimming pool, sauna and training facilities where courses are run for girls and young women.
The programme for all age groups follows ten points with emphasis on the following four: character building, health, handicrafts and service. The programme for Senior Guides stresses service; duty to religion and country; international understanding; and the development of skills useful to society and the individual.
The programme for outside school units emphasizes occupational training such as sewing, embroidery and the making of all the Association's uniforms and badges. Courses are offered in basic nursing for the elderly and infant children as well as training for running small businesses and local co-operatives in Wiang Papao, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai and Surin provinces.
Scholarships are available for young women to progress with higher education. In addition to these programmes, participants are encouraged to develop leadership qualities, and an awareness of personal health and hygiene.
Relationship to society:
The Girl Guides Association of Thailand runs numerous projects in rural communities and aims to provide skill sets for girls and young women enabling them to be financially self-sufficient.
Projects include the provision of a revolving fund for girls, housewives and their families to be able to purchase equipment and materials for producing items that can be sold; as income is generated so the initial loan is repaid.
Work with hill-tribe communities in rural areas on sanitation projects is particularly prevalent in the north of the country where the Association works closely with local people to ensure the provision of adequate drainage and clean water.
Child care centres have been established by the Association and they continue to train local girls and young women to take care of and provide for the children left in their care while their parents are working. These projects aim to provide non-formal education for children as well as basic education in health and hygiene. It gives children a chance to enjoy themselves and to experience new things.
Opportunities are regularly available for cultural exchange programmes within the country where girls are able to learn about their own culture and heritage. They may then have the opportunity to share this knowledge with international visitors who participate in the Association's Amazing Thailand programmes which are based on the Building World Citizenship theme.
Communication and Co-operation
The Girl Guides Association of Thailand has an ongoing exchange programme with the United Kingdom. It shares an annual camp and service project with the Girl Scouts of Japan, publishes a monthly newsletter called 'San Si Fha' and receives good support from the public and non-governmental organizations.
The Association is also active in supporting the establishment of Guiding in both Laos and Cambodia, offering training where it can and opportunities to share in many activities.
UBICEF supported the Association in organizing the Child Rights Project in Thailand from April 2001-2002.
The training department at headquarters employs full-time trainers who are supported by volunteer trainers all over the country. The Association provides opportunities for good trainers to travel abroad and to go to government institutions for further training. The Association supports local councils with the provision of leadership training for women, which increases their opportunity of becoming council members and representing the needs of girls and young women in their local areas.
Outdoor and Environmental Activities
The Girl Guides Association of Thailand is conscious of the threat of pollution and the need to protect the environment. The Association holds regular camps to raise the awareness of the girls in areas of recycling, the ecosystem and protecting nature and water. These camps are theme based; examples are Water is Life and Nature is Life.

Two people are injured after a fiery crash last night in Muhlenberg County. It happened just outside the town of Dunmor. And if it weren't for some first responders, it could have been much worse.
Sometimes, there's not much to see on Kentucky 973. But Denny Blythe saw something he didn't want to see.
"There was one or two guys in the area, and they were hollering, 'There are people in there,'" Blythe says.
The two, identified by deputies as Levahn and Raymond Ferre of Belton, were trapped inside a burning car that overturned west of Dunmor. Blythe helped get the woman out.
"As I was dragging her away, she kept saying, 'Get my husband out of there!'" he says. Getting her husband, who was still buckled inside, wasn't easy.
"The first thing I thought was I need to get the smoke out of there. So, I busted the driver side window because I could see flames coming up on the inside of that window right at his shoulder and head," says Blythe. "What actually was holding him in the vehicle was the dog house and the door got hot, all the plastic had melted, and it was holding his feet to the floorboard."
Others started pouring water while crews raced to the scene.
"By the time the fire department got there, we had the fire 90% out," he says.
Despite the two reportedly suffering burns and broken limbs, Blythe says he's thankful for deputies and firefighters, thankful others were there at the right time.
"I would say if they were there probably 5 minutes or so without anybody there, they may not be with us today," Denny says.
And he'll be thankful if he doesn't have to see accident's like last nights happen again.
"The good lord was looking all over us."
Both crash victims were taken to Vanderbilt Hospital for their injuries.

Rumor Time: Is the iPhone 4 Coming to T-Mobile this Year?
You might want to take this with a grain of salt, but rumors have started circulating that T-Mobile could be getting the iPhone 4 in the 3rd quarter of this year. The rumor was started by Cult of Mac, which cites an unnamed but "highly placed" source at T-Mobile. Of course, we will not know for sure until the 3rd quarter comes and goes, but the rumor does have just enough tidbits of truth in it to seem plausible.
Both AT&T and T-Mobile use similar GSM network technology and it is already possible to use any unlocked model of iPhone on T-Mobile's network. However, T-Mobile uses different bandwidths (1700 and 2100 MHz) for its 3G network than AT&T does, which prevents the first three iPhone models from accessing the much faster data connection. While the new iPhone 4 does add 2100 MHz as a supported bandwidth, no one is yet sure if the 1700 bandwidth has been secretly added. We will not be sure until the newest smartphone from Apple is finally jailbroken and unlocked.
If the iPhone 4 really does support both 3G bandwidths that T-Mobile uses, then this rumor really could hold water. No hardware changes from AT&T's version would be necessary and a simple carrier configuration update would allow the phone to work on both networks. This might be bad news though for anyone who has been desperately waiting for Verizon Wireless to get the iPhone as a whole other set of rumors is claiming that it will get the iPhone in January 2011. A Verizon compatible iPhone would require an entirely different radio chipset, as Verizon uses CDMA technology for its network, which is incompatible with what is currently in the iPhone 4. Will Apple be willing to put the iPhone on two new carriers so quickly?
As for the my independent fact checking of the rumor, Cult of Mac incorrectly attributed an assertion by the Financial Times' as a quote from René Obermann—T-Mobile USA's parent company's CEO. The 'quote' was "T-Mobile USA is hoping to start selling the popular smartphone later this year or next year." I would not bet the farm on this rumor, but it is possible.
Weigh in and let me know if you think T-Mobile will really be getting the iPhone 4 in the 3rd quarter of this year or if this rumor is as true as the ones back in 2007 that claimed Verizon would be getting the iPhone by its first refresh.apple iphone 4, baseband, T-Mobile

Bush. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Tony Bush
Very well, my dear, she said through coloured glass,
Through teeth of blood and silver
As the doorway hurtled past;
I then stood on the front step, with the rain beating down,
Until he bared his thuggish fangs
And I drove from the town.
I had done no wrong, offended none, and yet
He bore a numbskull grudge
In rage and beery sweat;
Each escalating threat of unfinished business spoke,
Of coming round and knocking
Things grew way beyond a joke.
My aging failing heart began to age and fail anew,
The sickness quickly spread
With blood work left to do;
Though of innocence protested, all stupidity is deaf,
Only one track on his mind:
To batter me to death.

Read Poems by
Ashley Smith
You hurt me more than anyone
But it was well worth the pain
Because without your selfish attitude
I would never have experienced this gain
Do you realize what you did?
You tore me down, hurt my heart
Shattered my idea of love and truth
Until I found the strength to part
I let you get into my head
You easily played with my mind
When deep down you honestly knew
A girl like me you'd never find
So here's to your immaturity
Selfishness and insecurity
For if not for your harmful words and ways
I'd prolly still be hurting these days

text: In case anybody is interested in how I finally got httpd to compile I'll explain below. First, however a few things worth mentioning: * I didn't have a problem with making php from source, so using the php port/package was not an issue to me. In fact I did NOT want to use the port/package since php was compiled as a shared object, which I did not want. Therefore, I HAD to rebuild httpd to include php support. * The problem I had was that when I would rebuild httpd, mod_ssl would not work. * All of this was done on a fresh install of 2.6/i386. After spending much too much time last night, I was able to rebuild a working httpd with php and mod_ssl by adding a "-L/usr/local/lib" to the httpd Makefile. It would appear that there are two versions of libssl (both static and shared) installed on my system, one in /usr/lib and the second in /usr/local/lib. It would also appear that the libssl installed in /usr/lib does not have the RSL functions, while the one in /usr/local/lib does. This is what caused my problem. My question is how the hell do these things build on the developer's machines? Am I missing something? Does an environmental variable get somewhere that causes things to link to the libssl in /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib? Are these things documented anywhere? Aaron

$35,035 – $54,267 Invoice
14 / 19 MPG City/Hwy
Enter your information and a representative will contact you for this 2007 Volkswagen Touareg !
What's New
The Touareg gets an overhauled engine lineup for 2007 in the form of a new V-6, an improved V-8, and the return of the V-10 TDI turbodiesel. New options include keyless ignition, a power-operated lift gate, and adaptive bi-xenon headlights that swivel to follow the road.
The idea of a premium sport utility vehicle from the company best known for the Beetle may have seemed a bit silly at first, but no one laughed when VW unveiled the Touareg in 2004. The technically advanced Touareg combined sure-footed off-road ability with surprisingly Germanic road manners.
The 2007 model year marks the biggest round of changes to the Touareg thus far. The base 3.2-liter V-6 gives way to a 3.6-liter unit with FSI direct fuel injection. The new engine delivers 276 hp and 266 lb.-ft. of torque-an increase of 36 hp and 37 lb.-ft.-yet EPA fuel economy estimates are unchanged on the city cycle and only 1 mpg lower on the highway. The optional 4.2-liter V-8 also gets the FSI treatment and a power boost, from 310 to 350 hp and 302 to 342 lb.-ft. Fuel economy estimates for the V-8 are unchanged for the city cycle and increase by 1 mpg on the highway. But the most anticipated engine is the 5.0-liter 10-cylinder TDI turbodiesel. With 310 hp and a mind-boggling 553 lb.-ft. of torque, the TDI is both the fastest and the most frugal version of the Touareg, and can tow over 7,700 pounds.
All Touaregs feature a 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic manual control and a fully-automatic all-wheel-drive system with a low range and electronic hill descent control. Front, side, and side curtain air bags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; and electronic stability control are also standard across the board, as are comfort and convenience features such as dual-zone climate control (four-zone is optional) and heated leather seats. A height-adjustable air suspension is optional on vehicles equipped with the V-6 or V-8 engine and standard with the TDI. The Touareg comes with a 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage.
The Competition
The Volkswagen Touareg competes in the Midsize Premium Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) segment, which consists of 14 models. Buyers in this segment look for quality, reliability, and performance, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 Avoider StudySM and the Escaped Shopper Study.SM
The top sellers in the segment during calendar year 2006, according to the J.D. Power and Associates Sales Report,SM were the Lexus RX Series (108,348 units sold), Acura MDX (54,121), and Volvo XC90 (33,200). The Volkswagen Touareg sold 10,163 units in 2006, a decrease of 43.7 percent compared to the previous year. Other models offered in the Midsize Premium CUV segment include the Mercedes-Benz M-Class, BMW X5, Infiniti FX-Series, Cadillac SRX, and Mercedes-Benz R-Class. Joining the segment in 2007 is the Lincoln MKX.

What's in a name: Wintergreen Gorge
Where is it?
Situated along Four Mile Creek in Harborcreek Township, just west of the Penn State Behrend campus and north of the Wintergreen Gorge Cemetery, 2601 Norcross Road.
What's the story?
One thing is for sure: Early settlers probably didn't name the gorge while chewing on a piece of minty gum.
The most likely reason behind the name is the overwhelming amount of green in the area due to the lush vegetation that grows near the stream. The gorge, carved by massive glaciers about 10,000 years ago, is a perfect, moist environment for plant life most of the year, said Tony Foyle, associate professor of geology at Penn State Behrend.
Whatever the true reason, the scenic area surrounding Four Mile Creek is frequently visited by people coming from Behrend's campus and Wintergreen Gorge Cemetery, which is covered now with American flags for the Fourth of July weekend.
"It's popular with the locals," Foyle said.

Cottonwood Trees, Autumn. Southern Utah. October 26, 2014. © Copyright 2014 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
A grove of autumn cottonwood trees in Utah red rock country
After a few days "in the field" in a remote southern Utah location with a group of friends, I left our camp and headed back out to what passes for civilization in this part of Utah. Truth be told, by the end of the day I arrived in a quite civilized place! After driving a bit I ended up in the town of Boulder, where I was to meet my cousin and her husband to share dinner and conversation. But I arrived a bit early, so I decide to explore a bit first.
I headed right on through Boulder and onto the Burr Trail route, following it for a few miles to an overlook where the road descends into a long canyon. I arrived at close to the perfect date to see brilliant colors from autumn cottonwood trees in this valley — although the color peak may have come a few days earlier, I like the combination of colorful trees and the skeletal shapes of partially bare trees. This little valley has a flat bottom, and the trees grew across its width and right up the red rock cliff on the opposite side.

American Lawbreaking - Tolerated Use: The Copyright Problem
Publication Date:October 17, 2007
Author:Tim Wu
Professor Lawrence Lessig is quoted in Slate on the tolerance of lawbreaking in America:
... Larry Lessig, a Thomas Jefferson figure in the information revolution, asked: "So here's what I want to know,"... . "Why should we tolerate tolerated use?" His point: If you care about free expression and the core reasons for our copyright law—i.e., protecting the artists—why would you put up with a system that makes something like fan art illegal and then tries to ignore the problem? Surely the right answer is to fight for reform of the copyright law: Have the law declare clearly that most noncommercial activities, like fan sites and remixes, are simply beyond the reach of the law.

I like San Antonio a bit :)ReplyDelete
I went to HSU, Arcata and graduated in 1986. I love the place.ReplyDelete
I would have a terrible time choosing only 10 favorite cities. You need to go to Hilton Head Island! It's got to be a favorite for anyone who has ever been.ReplyDelete

Greg and the No.16 3M team are looking for a strong start to the Chase at Chicagoland this weekend! Greg has an average starting position of 15.0 and average finish of 18.8 at Chicagoland. Last time at Chicagoland, Greg started seventh and ran as high as second before he thought he had a flat tire on lap 92 and pitted under green. It was discovered that the radiator pan had come loose and eventually fell off which drastically affected the handling of the car. Biffle eventually finished two laps down in the 26th position. Prior to the Chase Biffle was the point leader and had two wins, which seeds him fifth heading into the final 10 races. Be sure to check out all of Greg's statistics and thoughts on racing at Chicagoland Speedway in the full preview!
