This fall, New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. launched a search for a new conservative columnist. It had been nearly three years since William Safire had retired from his weekly column in 2005, and Sulzberger's initial replacement, libertarian John Tierney, lasted just 20 months before abandoning his column. David Brooks remained as the lone conservative voice on the page, and, say people familiar with the younger Sulzberger's thinking, he wanted to hire a lightning-rod conservative, much like his father, Arthur "Punch" Sulzberger, had done in appointing Safire in 1973.
So, last fall, Sulzberger and Times editorial-page editor Andrew Rosenthal prepared a list of some 25 conservative writers. According to a person with knowledge of the search, the names included Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer, The Atlantic's Ross Douthat, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations Max Boot and three Weekly Standard staffers: senior editor Christopher Caldwell, associate editor Matthew Continetti, and the magazine's editor and founder, Bill Kristol. On December 30, Sulzberger selected Kristol, who gave up his column at Time magazine for the Times appointment.
Immediately, the announcement triggered fulminations from bloggers and pundits. At the Times, Kristol's appointment rankled reporters and editors, who interpreted the move as the latest in a series of tone-deaf decisions by Sulzberger, including his $100-million investment in the Discovery Times TV channel and his crusade to free Judith Miller during the Valerie Plame leak investigation. Times staffers feel Kristol is an unimaginative writer with a rancorous history of attacking the paper. Sulzberger sought to make a splash in hiring Kristol, but, like many of his management decisions, it has backfired.
KRISTOL'S DEBUT column on January 7, a breezy dissection of Mike Huckabee's candidacy, was roundly panned in the journalism community. (The Atlantic's James Fallows remarked on Kristol's "breathtaking banality.") Among other problems, Kristol misattributed a quote from Michael Medved to Michelle Malkin—proof, some said, that his other responsibilities would result in his "mailing in" his Times copy. "He doesn't know what it's like to write for The New York Times," one staffer said. "So, welcome to the NFL."
Beyond that, Times staffers felt Kristol just wasn't a very good writer. "Having a robust conservative voice on the page is a good idea. But you want quality," one staffer said. "In general, he's mediocre. He doesn't seem like the best choice, and the first column was crap." "It was a very odd choice," a senior staffer added. "Personally, I don't think he's an original voice, and that should be the standard. It's the most coveted piece of journalistic real estate in the country."
The Times' public editor, Clark Hoyt, acknowledged the Kristol kerfuffle in his column on Sunday, January 13, writing of Kristol's hiring: "This is a decision I would not have made." When reached by phone, Safire told me: "I saw the excellent piece that the public editor wrote the other day, and that pretty much tells the story."
But behind much of the internal distaste for Kristol lies the paper's complicated relationship with the Iraq war. In an August 2002 column in The Weekly Standard, as the Bush administration began marshaling its case for war, Kristol labeled the Times a member of the "Axis of Appeasement," and a piece in his magazine commented that the paper's bias against the war "colors . . . practically every news story on the subject."
According to a former Times staffer, criticism from Kristol and other conservatives weighed heavily on the Times' pre-war coverage, which turned more hawkish under then–executive editor Howell Raines and Washington bureau chief Jill Abramson. In September 2002, Judith Miller's credulous front-page pieces on Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction began appearing with increasing frequency and were echoed in The Weekly Standard.
Miller's discredited coverage created a near-open revolt in the newsroom, especially in the Washington bureau. Even today, staffers there chafe at Kristol's appointment. "There is a concern internally about Judy. No one wants to go back to those bad old days," the senior staffer said. Another worried that Kristol's columns signaled that "Judy's point of view has returned." (Miller doesn't share her former colleagues' reservations. "[I]t's an appointment that's a long time coming. The page needed balance," she told me. But "an unabashed neocon without remorse is unacceptable to Times people...He's not kosher in that sense.")
More recently, Kristol attacked the Times' publication of a June 2006 piece disclosing the CIA's classified monitoring of international bank transfers. "I think the attorney general has an absolute obligation to consider prosecution," Kristol said on "Fox News Sunday" three days after the article was published.
"My personal opinion is it's an appalling choice," a former veteran Times staffer said of Kristol's appointment. "Not because he's been wrong about so much, but because he called for prosecuting the Times for treason. You're entitled to your opinion, but, in all due respect, go fuck yourself."
(Sulzberger and Rosenthal declined to comment on the appointment; a spokeswoman said the paper had "brought Mr. Kristol on board after a long and thoughtful search." Kristol declined to comment about his column. "I'm going to let the column speak for itself," he said.)
IN A RECENT interview with Radar's Charles Kaiser, Sulzberger likened Kristol's hiring to his father's controversial appointment of Safire 35 years ago. But this claim doesn't seem to soothe any feathers. Times staffers say both Safire's and Brooks's personalities endeared them to the Washington bureau shortly after their arrival and trumped any political differences. "Arthur is going around telling people his father was vilified when he appointed Safire," one longtime Times staffer said. "But Safire came to the Washington bureau. He had an office; he helped the reporters and wrote great columns. It was a marriage that really blossomed. He was really a beloved member of the Washington bureau."
By contrast, Kristol is widely perceived to have only marginal allegiance to, and presence at, the paper. In addition to his Times column, Kristol edits The Weekly Standard and appears multiple times each week on Fox News. A Time magazine source complained that Kristol was known for phoning in his columns (for which he was paid roughly five dollars a word) when he wrote for the magazine last year, and his pieces in The Weekly Standard are often co-bylined.
Others suggest that Sulzberger's decision was made as a way of confronting Rupert Murdoch, who took ownership of The Wall Street Journal in December. "Arthur is scared to death of The Wall Street Journal," the former veteran Times staffer said. "That's what's behind the Kristol appointment." But critics questioned Sulzberger's hiring Kristol, a high-profile member of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation empire. Given Murdoch's baldly stated intention to use The Wall Street Journal to go after the Times franchise, staffers groused that Sulzberger had unwittingly extended Murdoch's influence.
Ultimately, Sulzberger's selection of Kristol has left many at the Times uninspired by his leadership. "Right now, in terms of the economic anxieties of the newspaper business in general, and the Times in particular, there's a concern that we should be doing things that are exciting and thinking about tomorrow's readers," one senior Times staffer said. "Kristol is a long, long, long established voice. There's no surprise or resourcefulness of enterprise in the choice."

Even celebrities aren't safe from Hepatitis A
This is not an episode of Punk'd.
Health officials in New York City are suggesting that everyone who was at the Socialista Bar on February 7th (and also on the 8th and the 11th) should get vaccinated for Hepatitis A just in case. A bartender who was working on those days has tested positive for the disease, which is caused by contact with fecal matter and creates an inflammation of the liver.
Why is this story on a TV blog? Well, it just so happens that Demi Moore threw a party for husband Ashton Kutcher on February 7, and guests at the party included Bruce Willis, Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane, Madonna, Ali Larter, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lucy Liu, Kate Hudson, Lake Bell, Ivanka Trump, and other celebrities. (Side note: doesn't it just make you all warm and gooey inside that Demi and Ashton get along so well with Demi's ex Bruce Willis?)
I wonder if this is what critics mean when they say that Hollywood is infecting America?

Simon Taylor (CommVault) says that, in order to migrate, move and manage information in the cloud regardless of the business or IT driver, it's essential to involve experts in the field both from and IT and legal perspective to establish a methodology around how you're going to do it.
Simon: "Cloud is probably one of the most misused terms right now. People use it to describe all sorts of collections of services, whether it's for eDiscovery in the legal world and moving information to legal cloud providers, or for storage services that people require for moving data offsite. For example, Microsoft Azure, Iron Mountain and those types of companies that offer specific cloud storage services for the long term retention of data. Realistically, I think clouds themselves fall into a couple of types. One is a private cloud, and the other is a public cloud. The difference between the two is very simple. A private cloud is something that describes a collection of services or utilities inside an organization that people can contract to or get a service from through a simple single interface. For instance, if you took a storage vendor type model you'd find that they would create a private cloud storage facility where you would write information to one place, using one set of interfaces, and it would be stored internally with a set of capabilities around that. In contrast, public cloud it is very much an external service, utilized across multiple different organizations. You often find that if you contract to a particular service with an external cloud provider, that service is delivered off a platform that multiple other different organizations are contracting to at the same time. It does raise some concerns, but of course you get their economies of scale because the actual provider themselves is able to host more from that one platform. The downside is that your information is intermingled with other peoples', whereas a private cloud is inside your organization and therefore offers a lot more security around what you do internally."

A busy street in Hong Kong. (File photo/Xinhua)
The continuous drop of the Hong Kong dollar against the renminbi has dealt a major blow to the livelihood of many people from the mainland who work in the city, many of whom are considering returning to the mainland for works.
Ms Zhou is a typical example. After graduating from a mainland Chinese university, she went to Hong Kong for graduate school. Afterwards, she chose to work in Hong Kong, although her husband stayed in their hometown to work in the public sector.
This year Zhou plans to return to her hometown to work for the sake of bringing the family back together. Another major reason is the sharp drop in the Hong Kong dollar against the renminbi, which greatly lowers the value of her wage after it is converted into the Chinese currency.
Zhou remembers that in the late 1990s, 100 Hong Kong dollars could be converted to 106 yuan (US$17 at current exchange rate) but the Hong Kong dollar began to depreciate against renminbi when she was studying at graduate school. In late 2006, the exchange rate gradually approached 1:1 and in early 2007, the renminbi became more valuable than the Hong Kong dollar for the first time in 13 years. As of October this year, the Hong Kong dollar is worth only 80% of the renminbi.
Many of Zhou's classmates ask her where to shop in Hong Kong. Travelers from Guangdong to Hong Kong and Macau will shoot up 30% this year.
In November 1971, Hong Kong began to embrace a free floating exchange rate forits currency. However, in 1983, the Chinese and British government started talks on the territory's future, prompting the exchange rate to plunge to US$1=HK$11. In October 1983, Hong Kong began to peg the exchange rate at US$1=HK$7.8, which has lasted until now. Therefore, whenever the US dollar depreciates against the renminbi, the Hong Kong dollar will also go down against renminbi accordingly.
Since Oct. 11 this year, the renminbi has appreciated against the US dollar continuously, leading to the devaluation of Hong Kong dollar. At present, HK$100 can be exchanged for around 80 yuan.

Lipscomb (8-9, 3-2 A-Sun)

1/6/2012 | Curb Event Center (Nashville, Tenn.) | Attendance: 5227

Bison on the Air
The Game
Lipscomb and Belmont meet Friday at Belmont's Curb Event Center for the first of two times in their final season as Atlantic Sun Conference opponents. The game is set to tip at 7:05 p.m.
Lipscomb leads the overall series 72-56 while Belmont leads the NCAA era series 9-8. Belmont is 29-28 at home against the Bison.
Last year Belmont handed the Bison a shocking 36-point loss, 88-52, at the Curb Center. It was Lipscomb's worst loss in the NCAA era and Belmont's biggest win ever against Lipscomb. In last year's game at Lipscomb, the Bison rebounded from an 18-point deficit in the final 24 minutes of the game for a 73-64 win.
Lipscomb is wrapping up a seven game road trip in which they've dropped five games including an 82-61 decision Wednesday night at North Florida. The Bison allowed North Florida to shoot 59.6 percent and the Osprey went on a 23-4 first half run which the Bison were never able to counter.
Lipscomb is led by senior all-conference selection Jordan Burgason who averages 15.4 points and makes 3.8 three-pointers per game. True freshman Zavion Williams posts 11.8 points a game while running the point for the Bison. Center Justin Glenn has emerged in his senior year to average 8.8 points and 7.1 rebounds.

We all had a great time at Willow Lakes. The surroundings and lodge were beautiful. We had a wonderful view from the veranda. The hot tub was a real treat. We enjoyed a few days out in the local area. A bonus would be to have a pub and shop within walking distance but this didn't effect our stay.
great place
I had a good holiday great relaxation and fishing. However had to complain because no picnic table pots and pans needed renewing. This was sorted out but took most of the week. Excellent location.
Absolutely fabulous lodge, deco was great. Perfect for fishing. Only downside was the fridge was not big enough for six and plates too big for dishwasher, so the boys had to do dishes. But taking everything into account would definitely book again.
The lodge was lovely but not many of them just three abit remote and as for location not much around for us to do so had to travel further out but overall we had a relaxing break.
We stayed in SwanLodge, it was lovely, the staff were very helpful and the area is so quiet and relaxing! It's very modern inside and the beds and sofas are very comfy! The only down parts were the facilities to cook with, the frying pans were very old and there wasn't a baking tray so we bought our own at the shop... The floor also wasn't overly clean but we sweeped it and it was fine, and a few light bulbs didn't work including the hot tub light. However it is still well worth the money and is a love place to stay espeically if you like to fish!!
the lodge was beautiful and had everything you needed. The location was very remote- originally when booking we didn't realise how remote the lodge was there were only 2 other lodges that we saw and one pub nearby which closed early on new years eve.
Very relaxing break
Beautiful lodge and we were upgraded when we arrived. We didnt leave the lodge for three whole days apart from to go in the hot tub. Totally relaxing and peaceful and we will definitely book again. Thankyou!!
Chalets very good. Bit out of the way. No walks only around Horse Paddocks. No on site facilities.
Stunning lodges against a stunning background. The way they are erected ensures you have a great deal of privacy and a lovely view. We were lucky with the weather (November) and even managed to sit outside and enjoy the view. Kitchen was as the photograph and the bedrooms even better! Will definitely go again if we can GET BOOKED!
Very nice cabin and friendly staff.
Lovely relaxing break until rats appeared! They weren't seen inside of the lodge but were running about outside. I suspect this was due to the occupants of the next lodge leaving their fishing gear (bait) outside all night. Unfortunately we wouldn't return due to this. Spoilt what had been a much looked forward to break in a lovely setting.
Ideal private location.

Some consider The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark to be the most popular of William Shakespeare's plays. It is a landmark in English literature.
Prince Hamlet plots revenge on his uncle Claudius for murdering his father, the King, succeeding to the throne and marrying his mother. Hamlet himself is a mad character, due partly to bereavement and rage. Psychoanalytical critics and scholars examine how Hamlet's unconscious desires drive his actions and the plot. With strong themes of insanity, moral corruption and revenge, the play has inspired writers from the 17th century to today.
The role of Hamlet is awarded only to the best and most renowned actors. It was recently announced that British actor Benedict Cumberbatch will be playing the role at London's Barbican Theatre in 2015. While we think that is a wonderful decision, it has made us stop and think of what other actors we would like to see fill the role.
Hamlet is universally believed to have been thirty, but there is a counter argument that he could have been 16, so he is usually played by actors between the ages of 16 and 30. While some of our choices may be a bit older than that, we are taking mostly talent and experience into consideration for our top picks.
Now, without further ado, our top 10 actors for Hamlet!
Did your favorite actor not make the list? Tell us in the comments below!

Rail debate continues after submission of supplemental environmental impact statementUPDATED 7:19 PM HST Oct 08, 2013
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell wants rail opponents to step aside, now that the city has complied with a federal judge's order, but rail opponents say they'll likely challenge a supplemental environmental impact statement as they await a ruling from an appellate court.Video Transcript
step aside, now that the city has complied with a federal judge's order. The mayor's demand comes as the transit authority completes a supplemental study of the $5-point-3 billion dollar project. KITV4's Andrew Pereira joins us now.. Andrew... is there any indication plaintiffs in the federal lawsuit will lay down? Quite the contrary Kenny and Yunji... Rail opponents say they'll likely challenge a supplemental environmental impact statement as they await a ruling from an appellate court. With rail columns going up at a rate of three per week, and a supplemental EIS now finished, the mayor wants opponents of the controversial project to go away. KIRK CALDWELL: "MY REQUEST AT THIS POINT IS TO ASK THOSE WHO WANT TO BRING MORE LAWSUITS TO SLOW THE PROJECT DOWN TO STEP ASIDE. ALLOW US TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT, NOT TO RUN UP ADDITIONAL ATTORNEYS FEES." But Cliff Slater and other plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit say the debate over rail is far from over. CLIFF SLATER: "IT'S IN THE HANDS OF THE COURTS AT THE MOMENT. EVEN IF WE WERE EVEN THINKING ABOUT STEPPING ASIDE, I DOUBT THERE'S ANYTHING WE COULD DO TO STOP THE COURT AT THIS MOMENT." That court, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, must determine if other transportation alternatives were adequately studied. The pending decision is separate from a ruling last November. That's when federal Judge A. Wallace Tashima ordered the transit authority to further study impacts to Mother Waldron Park, and whether a Beretania Street tunnel that takes the elevated rail line to UH is a better option. The Supplemental EIS found no impacts to Mother Waldron Park, and placed the price tag of a Beretania Street tunnel at $950 million. DAN GRABAUSKAS: "SO, THE PRUDENT AND FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVE, THE BEST ALTERNATIVE, IS TO GO WITH THE WAY WE'RE GOING." And that means Honolulu's waterfront will undergo a drastic change when rail comes to the city center. KIRK CALDWELL: "I DO NOT SUPPORT CHANGING THE ROUTE IN ANY WAY, I THINK IT'S THE PROPER ROUTE. IT'S JUST HOW DO WE MAKE IT BETTER IN THE URBAN CORE." ANDREW PEREIRA: "AND FOR THE TRANSIT AUTHORITY BUILDING RAIL BETTER MEANS DESIGNING RAIL STATIONS HERE BY THE WATERFRONT THAT CONFORMS TO THE SURROUNDING AREA." DAN GRABAUSKAS: "IF WE CAN HAVE THE STATIONS SORT OF BLEND INTO THE URBAN LANDSCAPE THAT'S DEVELOPING, EVEN IN THROUGH KAKAAKO, THAT'S REALLY OUR GOAL." Plaintiffs in the lawsuit now have 30 days to object to the city's notice of compliance regarding the supplemental EIS. Slater says an objection IS likely. So far the city has spent $3 million on legal fees. Back to you.

To ensure the future of the Arboretum, the Institute of Agriculture has launched a multi-year, $3 million fundraising campaign. One million dollars of capital improvements have been identified, including a new Auditorium. The Institute and the UT Arboretum Society, one of the oldest volunteer support organizations affiliated with the University of Tennessee, has announced that $885,750 has been raised in the campaign so far. This represents a major milestone in the overall campaign.
The endowment will fund the following critical features of the grand vision for the UT Arboretum:
The first of these critical features has reached a fundraising goal to move forward with building a new auditorium. Contributions totaling $426,000 were made by B&W Technical Services, LLC,Energy Solutions, LLC, Enrichment Federal Credit Union, Oak Ridge Associated Universities, ORNL Federal Credit Union, UT-Battelle, LLC, Y-12 Federal Credit Union, the Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce and individual donors.
In addition, a unique public-private partnership between UT AgResearch, the UT Institute for Public Service and the Rogers Group has been launched to help make the auditorium a reality. Funding came through a land trade with Rogers Group for a small amount of acreage adjacent to the arboretum and for a piece of property in Sweetwater, TN.
However, the funding from this trade will only partially fund the facility and additional funding is being sought. View architectural renderings for the new Auditorium and learn how you can help complete this project.
This auditorium will provide much needed indoor space during inclement weather to enjoy and learn about the great outdoors any time of the year. It will also provide an ideal space for youth and environmental programs in the Oak Ridge area.
An Arboretum Coordinator will be brought on board to oversee and provide additional educational programming opportunities for the community, and to help market the new auditorium for other outreach, training, and social events. The coordinator will work under the direction of Kevin Hoyt, director of the UT Forest Resources AgResearch and Education Center.
"We are very excited about the new auditorium project that we hope to break ground on in the near future. This new building will further support our mission of providing the land and supporting resources necessary for conducting natural resources research, enhancing our community outreach efforts, and providing a modern venue for increasing our educational programming efforts. It will in fact build on the legacy of this magnificent resource, and provide a catalyst of positive change for the UT Forest Resources AgResearch and Education Center," said Kevin Hoyt, director of the UT Forest Resources AgResearch and Education Center.
Prior successes of the campaign have included a lead gift of $500,000 from the Rogers Group in Oak Ridge.
Additionally, a new parking lot, improvements to and construction of new walking trails, new trail benches and signs, bridges, and new plant collections were made possible by a $114,000 grant from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation through its Recreational Trail Program.
The following are ways that you can help the endowment campaign reach its goal:

AOL News has a new home! The Huffington Post.Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!
First, I completely disagree with what Ms. Thomas said. However, this is America. First Amendment. Free Speech. Aren't you allowed to say what you want?
This is political correctness run amok. What she said she said as Helen Thomas, not as Helen Thomas, the reportor. It wasn't in an official capacity.
To me, there is little, if any difference between this and what happened to Trent Lott. Now with Sen. Lott, the platitudes that Sen. Lott offered to Strom Thurmond on Sen. Thurmond's birthday as Sen. Thurmond was quite frankly retiring to go home to die, were horribly twisted by those with a political agenda and an axe to grind. Forcing Sen. Lott to resign as Senate Majority Leader was an example of political correctness run amok.
Now with Ms. Thomas, unlike with Sen. Lott, there's nothing about what she said that I can defend. However, THIS IS AMERICA!!! You have a right to speak your mind. I don't agree at all in any way, shape, or form what she said, but till my dying breath I'll defend her right to say it. What Ms. Thomas said was, at least from an American perspective, kooky, insensitive, and out in left field. However, she definitely has a right to say it. Give her her job back!!!
I have no problem criticizing Ms. Thomas for what she said. Firing her is wrong.
Please people, get a back bone. Fight back against the tyranny of political correctness.
I found Helen thomas remarks so offensive as for going back to Poland my husband came here from Poland after the holacust and if helen thinks someone like him should go back there after losing his entire family there let her try going there I for one sure won't miss her there is enough hate in this world within more people like her adding to it the best thing that Hearst did was firing her.June 09 2010 at 9:11 PM Report abuse Permalink -2 rate up rate down Reply
I can see by all the comments that a lot of people believe ("freedom of speech", thats it "freedom of speech") no matter what they say; even if it is ignorant, hurtful, spiteful, callous and all the other synonomous terms. I also believe in freedom of speech but I also believe in the old saying that a person should put their brain in gear before putting their mouth in motion. If a person started cursing on this board their comment wouldn't be cleared as there is comment moderation by an editor so what happened to your freedom of speech then?June 09 2010 at 4:40 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Carl Cannon is misquoted Helen, she never said send the Jews back to Germany or Poland, when asked where they would go if they left Palestine she said they could go to Germany or Poland, since many of the Jews are from these countries she was saying they could go back to the place of their birth. Stories like this that are mis-reported can cause many people to judge this woman because they did not hear the original quote.June 09 2010 at 2:06 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply
Do we now have to pass an additional politically correct vocabulary test? Jews are what people who subscribe to the Jewish religion are. There are Catholics, Methodists, Muslims and Jews, et alia. Why is this a problem? I think it is time for Jews to settle down and accept the idea that people who don't agree with them are not anti-semitic. In fact, throwing that word around sounds a lot like bullying. It is my opinion, as a political matter, that the creation of Israel was a mistake. It was the last gasp of European colonialism, with Europeans telling the people of Palestine what to do. If the European Union tells all non-native Americans to get out of the USA by December, I doubt that Jewish-Americans would be lined up at the dock. Moreover, while Jewish people seem to be affronted at being told that Israelis could return to Poland, Russia, the Us, etc., Europe and Israel told the Palestinians to go to some other Arab country, where they may have never had a family connection. Native Americans have a much stronger claim to America than the Jews have to Israel Unless one is willing to agree that God gave Israel to the Jews. According to Native Americans, the Great Spirit gave America to them. Are we elevating one set of religious beliefs above others? In violation of the First Amendment?June 09 2010 at 1:32 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply
I am of the opinion that Helen Thomas caught that disease labeled as Foot and Mouth which is why she spoke about " JEWS " the way she did. Was Hearst correct in firing her? ABSOLUTELY. At one time she may have been top notch but I feel her time to retire was way overdue. Just like the horse and buggy--time has passed her by.June 09 2010 at 12:20 PM Report abuse Permalink -3 rate up rate down Reply
Yesterday was the 43rd anniversary of Israel's murderous attack on the U.S.S. Liberty, in which 34 American sailors died and more than 170 were wounded. Visit www.ussliberty.org, which is sponsored by the survivors, and learn the truth about our so-called ally. One of the survivors was on the ship bringing relief to the beleaguered Palestinians, that Israel recently attacked. Israel sells our military secrets to China and Russia. Reagan-era defense analyst Jonathan Pollard stands out as the worst Israeli spy, for he sold our contingency plans for attacking Russia -- remember, the cold war was still hot -- to Israel , which Israel then traded with the Russians for Jewish emigres. Was Helen Thomas right? You betcha! But what sane country would take these animals back?June 09 2010 at 12:15 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply
There comes a time when each of us must decide to retire from our professional occupations. As a mentor once told me, "Leave when your stock is high." That is so true. I have seen many people go from being strong, effective, emulated leaders to the butt of jokes, the barely tolerated has-been, the obvious sinecure. Helen Thomas had the chance to ride out in a hail of glory, but instead she stayed long past her prime, until she was forced out under a cloud of condemnation. This is a cautionary tale for us all.June 09 2010 at 12:10 PM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate down Reply
Helen has outlived her usefulness for the Democrats. However, now whoever fills her shoes will certainly be scrutinized for comment, content AND intent as she never was.June 09 2010 at 11:41 AM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate down Reply
I agree with those who believe that Helen Thomas should be given a break for making such objectionable comments regarding Israel and Israelis. But not because Thomas is "old." Nor because we all have said things we later regret. I believe she should be spared for the same reason that we spare numerous others on an almost-daily basis: she is a liberal.
Anyone willing to admit the truth about bigoted comments such as Thomas's knows that the sole criterion for obtaining exoneration is whether the offender is a liberal. Being a liberal is tantamount to holding a lifetime pass to bigotry, slander, treason, and God knows what else. There is no such thing as accountability for the liberal. Accountability is applicable to non-liberals only.
If given the opportunity, I would like to ask Ms. Thomas if she has held such views for longer than about the last month or so. If she has, then she is guilty of nothing more than ordinary hypocrisy. After all, she is not of Native American descent. And if she had remained true to the principle of occupied-land-is-a-no-no, by now she would have returned all of her earthly possessions to Native America and returned to her homeland in Lebanon. We can demand that liberals at least practice what they preach. Do you want the Jews to leave "Palestine," Helen? You first, Helen.

One of the newest foundations to hit your drugstore shelves is Revlon's Photo Ready Makeup. I've been wanting to try this foundation and finally bought it last week. Firstly, I had a hard time choosing a shade because most drugstores don't offer testers. I settled on 004 Nude and although its not an exact match, its a bit peachy, I can make it work. After reading mixed reviews on the net I'll admit its not my favourite drugstore foundation however its not the worst either. Basically, if you could only afford one foundation your better off with Revlon Color Stay (very good) but if you already own an army of foundations (like me) its an OK option.
- oil-free
- fragrance-free
- matte-finish but not cakey, due to the formula being a tad shimmery
- light-medium coverage
- feels like I'm not wearing any foundation
Contrary to other reviews there is shimmer but not in an Edward Cullen glistening way, perhaps in my shade not as detectable!
- if your skin is flakey, has acne scars, or dry forget it! This foundation will only accentuate it.
- price, I'd prefer spending a bit more for a mid-priced foundation
- edit: just saw this cheaper (& not on sale) for $5 cheaper than what I paid so the price is very reasonable
- not long-lasting, tends to fade by the end of the day
not my favourite foundation for photos, unlike the title suggests.
Overall, the pros vs cons argument wins & I might purchase again if on sale but would get a different shade.
Anyone else try Revlon Photo Ready foundation? Thoughts?

Top 5 Shows (at least partially) in Drag
Whether it's cross-dressing, drag, or transgender characters, the New York stage has welcomed all kinds of gender ambiguity. Of course the theater has blurred lines between the sexes even before Shakespeare cast men as his female leads.
This spring several shows have opened exploring the topic.
Here are our Top 5 characters that embrace in drag:
1. Albin in La Cage aux Folles. When a musical takes place in a transvestite club, there are sure to be men wearing high heels. Douglas Hodge wears them gracefully in this musical comedy that takes an albeit sugarcoated slap at conservative definitions of family.
2. Leslie Jordan as himself in My Trip Down the Pink Carpet. The diminutive Jordan best known for being Karen Walker's foil, Beverley Leslie, on Will & Grace candidly talks about playing a Tammy Wynette-obsessed drag queen in his one man show at the Midtown Theater.
3. Mary Sunshine in Chicago. Though not envisioned as a man, the female-crusader Mary Sunshine in the Kander and Ebb revival has sung in falsetto for the past 13 years. It's just one way this musical about female murderers and their male victims bends genders.
4. Gary Coleman in Avenue Q. Perhaps casting for an 'Arnold out-of Different Strokes type' forced the creators of Avenue Q, the salty off-Broadway puppet musical, to look for a female impersonator. The decision is one of the milder shots taken at the troubled 80s TV star.
5. Man 1 and Man 2 in 39 Steps. With only four actors and several Hitchcock movies' worth of characters, it's inevitable that Man 1 and 2 sometimes transform into women -- usually matronly type ready to flirt freely with the protagonist.

Archroma Opens Pakistan Water Treatment Facility
Facility based on zero liquid discharge objective
Archroma opened its first sustainable effluent treatment (SET) facility for a textile operational site in Jamshoro, Pakistan. With an investment of 371 million PKR, the facility not only supports the substantial recovery of 80% of water but also allows effluent treatment based on zero liquid discharge, fulfilling Pakistan's stringent National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS) requirements.
The inauguration was held Dec. 10, 2013
The operational SET plant is spread over an area of 25 acres consisting of flocculation, equalization, surface aeration, clarification, ultra filtration and reverse osmosis to yield colorless water with a chemical oxygen demand and total dissolvable solids of less than 75 ppm.
"In 2010 we decided to make the significant investment in the Jamshoro site with the aim of setting new standards not only in the quantity but also in the quality of the recovered water," said Mujtaba Rahim, CEO of Archroma in Pakistan. "The data from the SGS testing report is indicative of Archroma's commitment towards sustainable operational excellence."
The Jamshoro site is one of the biggest textile chemical sites within Archroma. It produces dyes, chemicals, emulsions and pigment dispersions for the textile, leather, paper and coatings industries.

Reducing Backup Window and Storage Size using B2D
Good Day:
In my environment we currently have 13TB of SAN Space used to backup our Exchange and Vmware Data. At present we are using Backup Exec 2012 with Shared SAN Option,Dedupe and Advance Disk Option. Our Exchange Data is now at 1TB compressed. We are doing one Full and 4 Incrementals backups to the SAN storage per week and are required to Keep 30 Days worth of data. What options above buying more storage does Backup Exec Offer to reduce or Window and Storage Requirements
1: Does Backup Exec have Continous Protection and What are thye Storage Requirements
2: GRT on the Windows VMs are failing with the error volumes are not snapable
3: Would incremental forever be a suitable option for our File Servers
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
1) No. CPS is discontinued in BE 2012
2) Post your errors in a separate discussions so that we can take a look.
3) When you restore an incremental backup, you need to restore the last full backup and ALL the incremental backups up to the incrmenetal backup that you want, so doing incremental forever is not feasible. You got to do fairly frequent full backups to reduce your restore time.
As to reducing your backup window, take a look at the BE Archive option. This will allow to to archive old files and Exchange e-mails so that you don't have to back them up frequently.

This is some serious ice to cool you down during the dog days of summer, if you happen to have two grand stuffed under your mattress.
This necklace by Paolo Costagli features five pink oval sapphires of slightly varying colors that create an ombré effect, in between two white sapphires and set in 18kt gold. Forget the ombré hair we've been coveting for months — sapphires are forever. It's major bling that isn't too chunky for everyday wear, and if only it didn't cost roughly the same as a month's rent in Manhattan, we'd be all over it.
Paolo Costagli, $2,150, available at paolocostagli.com.

Unfortunately for some North Carolinians, the effort to increase the age at which adolescents are charged as adults was halted yet again in Raleigh last week, say legislators.
Earlier this year, legislators introduced Senate Bill 434 to "raise the age" of juvenile jurisdiction from 16 to 18. In previous years, the initiative died in committee in the form of other bills and without bipartisan support. As Republicans have taken the majority in Raleigh, the bill seemed promising for proponents of the initiative, as it gained steam due to the newfound support of Republicans.

In Honor Of Teri, My Guardian Angel
In 2004 my mother, Teri, was diagnosed with Stage 3 Melanoma. She was told she had 6 months to live. I still remember the day she sat me down to tell me like it was yesterday. At that moment my life changed forever. I was only 16 years old, but knew my duties as a daughter were about to drastically change.
As my family learned more about the disease and how deadly it truly is, we began to research what the best option for treatment was. It wasn't in my mom to let this disease just take over.
She fought through months of experimental treatments, trips back and forth to the hospital and doctors appointments, and many sleepless nights agonizing in pain. Months turned into 2 1/2 years, and before we knew it, we realized she wasn't responding to the experimental vaccines anymore. For the first time in almost 3 years, my mom was giving up.
On March 7, 2007 my mom and I said our goodbyes to one another. I'll never forget that day for as long as I live. As I sat in the hospital room wondering how I would ever make it through another day without her, I realized that is not what she would have wanted. She was always so positive and upbeat, living everyday like it was her last. Today, I try to live my life just the way she did, never taking anything or anyone for granted.
On April 28, 2013, I am running the St.Lukes Half Marathon in honor of my mom. I hope my story serves as an awareness of how dangerous melanoma is. I wish to carry on the fight against it, so that we can share more survival stories and celebrate more birthdays.
My fundraising page is through Miles for Melanoma. This gives runners, like myself, the chance to raise money for the Melanoma Research Foundation. Any donation is greatly appreciated!

2006 Volvo S40 Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 15 reviews
Cute may not be the first word that comes to mind in response to the word Volvo, but the S40 begs to differ. As the Swedish carmaker's smallest sedan, it certainly is cute, but a few other adjectives come first: safe, efficient, and upscale.
While it's not a full-fledged luxury car, it won't disappoint even the pickiest driver in its comfort and included amenities. The 2006 S40 boasts an impressive list of standard features that enhance both safety and comfort for driver and passengers alike.
On the safety side of things, included equipment runs the gamut from side-impact protective beams to anti-submarining seats designed to hold occupants in during a crash. The design of this vehicle has been thoroughly thought out, with its patented deformation zones using an appropriate variety of steel types, to shield its riders from harm as much as possible.
Every S40 comes with air conditioning, power windows, power locks, a CD player, ABS, and traction control. Options include leather seats, seat heaters, rain-sensing windshield wipers, cabin air filter, and the Volvo Navigation System. Depending on which options you wish, you may have to buy a package. The options-package groupings were simplified for this model year.

Interview: Football Outsider Sean McCormick on the Jets
In the heels of the digital release of Pro Football Almanac 2009, our good friends at Football Outsiders were gracious enough to answer some of our questions about the Jets and the upcoming season.
Answering the barrage is Sean McCormick, who comments here at TJB as the sage seanmac31. Over the years we've known Sean, he's a die-hard Jets fan, who will fairly look at issues from an analytical standpoint, which is why we respect his opinion so much.
Q: There are unsettled situations with the QB, WR, TE & RB for a variety of reasons. What do we know for sure about this team?
A: Not much. The offensive line was excellent last year, ranking second in the league in Adjusted Line Yards (NOTE: a statistic to measure how effective linemen are at run blocking -Bassett) and they were dominant at the point of attack everywhere but at left tackle (sorry, D'Brick), so if the Jets can keep everyone healthy, they should be able to build the kind of ball control attack that Rex Ryan wants.
As we'll touch on more later, though, that's a rather big if, as the Jets are due for some injuries on the offensive side of the ball this year after going through last season almost injury-free. Unfortunately, the only things we can really count on are that the schedule is going to be much tougher and that the Jets are unlikely to be as healthy as they were last year.
Q: Scheme is important, but how good are the personnel of this defense? Can they approach the production of what the Ravens have done over the past few years during the course of the 2009 season?
A: A lot of people are expecting the Jets to become an elite defense now that Rex Ryan is here. Unfortunately, it doesn't usually translate that hiring a defensive coordinator from a good defense results in an immediate upgrade. Over the last twelve or thirteen years, unless you're bringing in Bill Parcells or Tony Dungy, it's actually been much more effective to promote a defensive coach from within if you want an immediate boost.
Two other Ravens defensive coordinators have made the jump to another team-Mike Nolan and Marvin Lewis-and both achieved only minor improvement in their first year with their new club. Now each of those guys went to clubs that were truly bereft of defensive talent, so you'd like to think that Ryan can do more right off the bat, but the Jets had significant holes in the secondary and with their pass rush, and it's unclear if those holes have been adequately addressed.
The Jets defense had some real strengths, too, especially in the first half of the season when Kris Jenkins was singlehandedly shutting down the run, but they're still too vulnerable in the secondary once you get past Darrelle Revis, and unless Vernon Gholston comes roaring to life, there's no steady pass rush presence for Ryan to rely on. The Ravens are going to have the best defense in the league this year, with or without Rex Ryan. The Jets might be a bit better than they were, but no, they won't be as good as Baltimore.
Q: Injuries to starters was something that the Jets skated on in 2008, how well are the Jets prepared for the pendulum swinging the other way?
A: Not very, which is a serious problem, as the Jets were one of the least-injured teams in the NFL last year. Injuries usually regress to the mean the following season, so it's likely that the Jets will have their depth tested this year. That's not good, as this is a team with really minimal depth at most spots outside of running back and possibly linebacker.
There is no viable backup at offensive tackle, and there's barely enough depth at wide receiver to field a starting unit, much less one that can go three or four wide and attack defenses. The Jets already are so thin at tight end that they'll have to make a move in training camp or preseason to bolster the roster. Mike Tannenbaum has done a good job of adding quality players through selective trade-ups, but it's meant fewer overall draft choices, and therefore less in the way of depth. The Mark Sanchez trade, which was one that Tannenbaum really couldn't turn down, nevertheless removed two starters from a team that doesn't have depth to spare.
Q: Break down the Mark Sanchez trade/pick and what it means to this team in the long-term.
A: Well, from a strict value standpoint, you have to love the fact that the Jets didn't have to give up any future draft picks in order to secure Sanchez. If he's the player the Jets think he is, they did a great job of landing him without significantly denting their maneuvering room going forward. Most people seemed to prefer Sanchez to Stafford if you take scheme out of the equation, and we love the accuracy he has shown while working in a pro system. That said, he's a high-risk pick due to his extremely low start total.
When you are using a top five selection on a quarterback, you ideally want a guy who has started about 40-45 games in college while maintaining a high completion percentage. Sanchez has played in sixteen games, which is fewer than any first-round quarterback taken in the last fifteen years. It's a riskier pick than people realize, because perceptions about how a rookie quarterback should perform were thrown way out of whack by Matt Ryan and, to a lesser extent, Joe Flacco. The odds are very good that Sanchez is going to struggle, and New York is not a place where the fans or media are particularly known for their patience.
In the long term, it means that the Jets are done looking for a quarterback for a few years, and that they can hopefully settle on an offensive philosophy that works with what Sanchez does best-utilizing his play action fake and his ability to make accurate throws while on the move.
Q: What is the one annual publication that would cause doubt to any fan's true level of commitment to the NFL if they didn't buy it?
A: I'm biased, certainly, (we'd hope so! -Bassett) but without a doubt, it's Pro Football Almanac 2009. Not only do the advanced statistics give you a better understanding of why teams win or lose, but the team essays and player comments are really a pleasure to read.
A ton of work goes into the book, and unlike the magazine publications, PFA 2009 is the kind of thing you want to keep around as a reference throughout the season. I've still got all of my copies dating back to 2005. There's a PDF version of the book currently available at footballoutsiders.com. Alternately, a hard copy is coming out in a few weeks and will be available through Amazon.

Scott Horton Interviews David Rose
David Rose, contributing editor for Vanity Fair, discusses the torture case of Binyam Mohamed, why the over-the-top U.S. threats to the UK over torture documents in his case may be at the request of the British government, the "007″ agent that exposes British claims of ignorance about torture as lies and the story behind the U.S. rejection of a 2004 reconciliation with Iraq's Sunni leaders which led to the deaths of a million people.
MP3 here. (51:40)
David Rose is the author of Guantánamo: The War on Human Rights and is a special-investigations writer for the U.K.'s Mail on Sunday.
9 Responses to "David Rose"
He thinks Iran might have Nukes soon ? … he'd better go and tell the 16 agencies who wrote the last NIE on iran then, because they stated that Iran doesn't have a weapons program, so unless they're going to magic a weapon out of thin air, it's hard to believe they'll "have a weapon soon" .
I notice a creeping (Z) ionist takeover here at Antiwar…just try posting a comment with THAT word – without the brackets – and see what i mean.
I am attempting to say the word Zionist in this post as per Duncan_Idaho's suggestion.
I'm experimenting too, as per Duncan_Idaho's suggestion about the word ZIONIST !!!!
So, Bush was just ignorant of the Zionism pervading from his administration. Likewise I guess Obama is just green when he declares his commitment to an undivided Jerusalem as Israel's capital to packed audience at AIPAC. I enjoyed this interview but the implied notion that American politicians are somehow ignorant of the machinations of the Zionist lobby in the United States is itself a little ignorant. The fulfilment of the 'clean break' doctrine is as clear as can be, it has been worked towards by successive American administrations. The idea of federalism being applied to Iraq was part of that plan; borrowed by the US. David Rose's aversion to discussing the lobby's influence in the Iraq war really destroyed what I thought was a great interview. Israel is the regional power, whether one is for it or against it, the fact remains that Israel heavily involves itself in such things out of a percieved neccessity to protect itself. To ignore this is to possibly completely misread the situation. It may be the case that David Rose just does not know. Thank you Scott Horton.
If you comment directly to articles on the front page using the words (J)ew or (Z)ionist, your comment WILL be referred for "moderation".
In Philip Giraldi's article today it took me THREE tries to post this completely NON-"racist", NON anti-"semitic" comment:
""announce that he is taking the military option "off the table." "
Well, yeah, that's what he should do. That's what anyone with a brain and a modicum of morality would do. But we're not talking about some fictional, rational, ethical being here, we're talking about the "leader of the free world" – you know, that part of the world that likes to rape and pillage , For Free, the material and human resources of "emerging nations" who don't follow the Capitalist doctrine of giving everything away to Wall Street vultures.
"That is not to endorse Iran's government or president"
Why NOT??? There is Much commend Iran. They support the Democratically Elected government of Gaza and the West Bank; they support the Defense of Lebanon and Syria against the Israeli threat; they have not attacked another country in 250 years during which time the United Snakes have attacked over One Hundred nations; they are trying like hell to diversify their economy and move away from the Vile USD; they have good relations with their neighbours; the 25,000 (J)ews that live in total freedom in Iran can attest tot he fact Iran has ZERO against Israel – aside from the fact of Israel's six decade long genocide of the Palestinian brothers.
So, i would say there is a f*cking hell of a lot to commend Iran and absolutely Nothing to commend the US."
Fine, I understand Antiwar is a 'going concern' and it's staff need to make a buck, like the rest of us, but if you're going to ask for donations then you should respect the opinions of those who Support You financially, and who actually come here Every Day to READ, and you should Not Censor our comments.
I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Socialist yet you don't see me complaining about the 100% negativity this site and it's authors demonstrate toward the SOLE democracy in this hemisphere, namely Venezuela. Do us the same courtesy or you will be facing Many more "pledge drives" in the near future.
Via con dios
Why would the religious beliefs matter at all? Why do you have to mention someone's religion in your comments? That is why we moderate them. It is not a conspiracy.
I certainly am not of the exact same philosphy as antiwar.com, but I must state that: a) antiwar.com is and should NOT be bound to passing any and all posts through without edit or moderation — if you like, you can call it "lack of respect for the opinions of those who contribute financially," but antiwar.com needs to maintain its own integrity in whatever ways it sees fit. Part of that is seeing to it that comment sections don't turn into soapboxes for something that they don't see as productive and then veer off into unproductive bouts of namecalling, and you may of course disagree with how they enforce that. One is free not to contribute, and if antiwar.com offends someone who contributes financially, then antiwar.com will just have to search elsewhere for that person's contribution, but they will have their integrity intact. b)antiwar.com is not a government or quasi-government entity and so is not bound to grant unlimited, unfettered speech to everyone all the time. I do agree with the moderator's position on mentioning someone's religion in these comments in a way that seems gratuitous to the moderator, but that is beside the point. I believe that antiwar.com should retain and assert the right to moderate its site to get the kind of discussion it wants to see.
I am pretty much of a flaming leftist, but I really, really, really value and appreciate antiwar.com and the work it does and will continue to contribute to it.
Al is correct regarding the fact that the federal breakup of Iraq was a fundamental aspect of the Bush occupation plan for Iraq.
Before the invasion I was straining to hear any indication of what their plans were for the re-establishment of some form of Iraqi government, in the forlorn hope that – with an occupation force of insufficient size – the planners of the looming disaster must have some brilliant plan that would preserve order, contain Iranian influence, and therefore prevent the sectarian and ethnic conflicts that were such obvious threats to the well-being of Iraqi citizens and the Iraqi state.
The only mention that I heard by Bush or anyone in a high position in his administration on this subject (apart from the irresponsible propaganda about bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to Iraq) occured in the question period at the end of the Mar 9, 2003 presidential press conference when Bush stated, in answer to a question about the occupation plan, that he believed that the Sunni, Shia and Kurds of Iraq could live in peace in a federation. In other words a three-state solution, in the revered imperial tradition of partitioning Arab countries.
