It's always an honor when the N&O quotes my blog. But it's annoying when they put words I didn't say in my mouth.
I'm afraid that's what Colin Campbell did today in his story "Did the 'Drunktown' campaign ads work?" Colin is an A-plus reporter, but I give him a D-minus here.
His story focused on Dean Debnam, who Colin called "creator" of the ads. Colin's story said, "In a blog post titled 'Vomit Politics,' Democratic political consultant Gary Pearce argued that Baldwin's win is a loss for Debnam."
Well, no, I didn't. Read the blog. I wrote that the ads didn't work. I didn't say anything about Dean or whether it was a "loss" for him. In fact, you can easily argue it wasn't a loss.
Dean did argue. He released a statement saying that the main target of the ad, Mary-Ann Baldwin, "received the fewest votes and lowest percentage of the last several election cycles." And added, "Residents of Raleigh spoke with a clear voice on what the vision for Raleigh should be – and it is not #DrunkTown. In all, only two of the seven candidates that bar and nightclub owners endorsed were elected."
His better argument might be: "In politics, you've never lost until you give up. I'm not giving up protecting downtown from bad policy. And I've shown the politicians that I'm willing to fight and spend my own money to do that."
He could also say, "Plus, I've got everybody talking about 'Drunktown'."
And, maybe next time, he'll do an ad that works.
Which I'd have told Colin. If he'd asked me.
Through the fog of over-analysis, misdiagnosis and total BS that comes after every election, one thing is clear about Raleigh's vote Tuesday: the "Drunktown" ad didn't work. Its main target, Mary-Ann Baldwin, led the at-large race.
Why didn't it work? Simple: voters didn't believe it.
They didn't believe for a minute that a member of the city council wanted drunks throwing up all over the sidewalks late at night.
This is a classic mistake people in politics make. They think they have a great negative attack on an opponent. They make a dramatic ad that gets other people in politics and the media all atwitter. They believe the voters will believe anything they're told.
But the voters are on to the game. They see the ad and say, I don't believe it. And they move on to other things. Once again, voters proved they're smarter than people in politics.
Some people argued on Twitter that the ad "backfired." Probably not. More likely, it just didn't fire at all. It was a dud.
One TAPster probably had it right: the guy in the ad was leaving the legislature and was so disgusted with how Republicans are trashing the state that he puked on the sidewalk.
Exhibit A: The feds launch a grand jury investigation into no-bid, sweetheart contracts at DHHS.
Exhibit B: Republicans ram through a law enabling politicians to raise unlimited money from unlimited special interests and spend it in unlimited ways.
From the Grant Administration to Teapot Dome to Watergate to Jim Black, history teaches us where this leads. You could look it up.
John McCain, whose own scandal turned him into a born-again reformer, once warned that today's big-money politics inevitably will bring a scandal.
History suggests somebody will go to the pokey. You could look it up.
Today's blog is written by Gene Upchurch, a retired Progress Energy executive who spent many a year as a legislative lobbyist:
Videos of state senators throwing footballs and dancing on the Senate floor this week were certainly undignified, and prompted suggestions that it was the first activity on the Senate floor this year that didn't harm the state's citizens.
Anyway, there's something about the end of an interminable legislation session that turns the place into a frat house.
Decades ago, a prominent legislator "encouraged" me to develop a well-oiled hooch-smuggling scheme that was perfected during a handful of legislative final nights. I would mix Aristocrat and orange juice in a dozen one-gallon milk jugs at home and slip the forbidden concoction to the legislative telephone center, which was then on the second floor just a few convenient feet from the door to the House chamber.
For one night only, the telephone center was transformed into a clandestine speakeasy. Legislators, staffers and lobbyists who knew what was going on could get their telephone messages and a paper cup brimming with joy juice. We would open the bar early enough on the final night of session so those who wished could get drunk, sober up, and get drunk again as the legislature's long night wore on.
The only difference between those days and today: everyone respected each other and the legislature enough to never speak of our enterprise, and the only cameras belonged to newspaper photogs who were in line to get their own paper cup of happiness.
This didn't start when the Republicans took over the legislature in 2010. It dates back to the US Supreme Court decision outlawing segregated schools in 1954.
Now, a toxic crew of racists, right-wingers and private-school profiteers smell victory.
Back in the '50s and '60s, Governors, legislators and school boards across the South pulled out every stop to avoid integration. Many wanted to shut down the public schools, and some states did. North Carolina had courageous leaders who bucked the tide. Beverly Lake would have done it if he had been elected Governor in 1960, but Terry Sanford beat him and stopped him. Still, it was a close thing.
Now there's really nothing to stop them. Except the voters. And a recent poll by the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation suggests that the voters want to stop them:
This is a winning formula for Democrats. Two questions: Will they, can they seize it? And what exactly will they do to fix it when and if they return to power?
Ole Ned Barnett, the Editorial-Writing-Chief down at the News and Observer, is a fine fellow though like many Editorial-Chiefs he's a bone deep liberal who frets over the vices of sexism and the virtues of gay rights and seldom finds an encouraging word to say about Republicans.
Which is fine. The N&O's spending its own money so it can editorialize however it wants. But an op-ed – right next to Ned's column on sexism the other day – by UNC Professor Neel Ahuja raises a different question.
Professor Ahuja's an animal rights expert who's also an English professor who teaches a class on the Literature of 9/11 – and he landed in a mess because a student wrote his course favors terrorists.
To quash that broadside all Professor Ahuja had to do was answer one question: Whether he was teaching his students what the terrorists did on 9/11 was right or wrong?
But instead he waltzed all around the question. He editorialized about applying 'Holocaust, postcolonial and trauma theories to 9/11' and about asking whether 'God's light guides us or blinds us?' He denounced the student for a cynical attack on learning and denounced censoring books critical of U.S. 'overseas military interventions.' And, of course, he rolled out a harried professor's tried and true shibboleth: He accused Art Pope and the John Pope Center for running smear campaigns against UNC.
But all that explaining still left an awkward problem: Because, unlike the N&O, Professor Ahuja's not spending his own or another private citizen's money – he's spending taxpayers' money.
There's no doubt teaching how different folks – including terrorists – see the same things differently is a fine part of education. And that's not a problem. But it's hard to justify spending taxpayers' money to pay for a course that doesn't, at the end of the day, conclude the terrorists were dead wrong on 9/11.
And that's the question Professor Ahuja needs to stop waltzing around. He needs to give a straight answer. And if his answer is, Well, it's all relative – who was right and who was wrong depends on whose eyes you look at it through – then the Trustees are going to get asked a tough question too: You gave him money to teach what?
Two would-be strongmen huffed and puffed, postured and blustered on 60 Minutes Sunday night, but neither Vladimir Putin nor Donald Trump could hold a candle to the strength that Pope Francis showed America during his visit.
The Pope reminded us that real strength means faith, empathy and compassion, not name-calling, mouthing off and macho posing.
After watching Pope Francis reach out to – and reach – so many people, it was a striking contrast to contemplate Putin's bare-chested photo ops and Trump's ridiculous hair dye and do.
Neither of the wannabes is self-aware enough to see that their words and actions betray weakness and insecurity. Putin acts strong because deep down he knows Russia's inner weakness. Trump talks big and loud because, deep down, there's nothing deep about him but his pockets. And he lies about that, too.
Not that everybody loves everything about the Pope. Liberals loved the parts about climate change, the poor and immigrants, but not so much the parts about abortion, gay marriage, women in the church and the church's sexual abuses. Conservatives, vice versa.
But his grace, smile and equanimity moved us. John Boehner wept, which was no surprise. Then he quit, which was a surprise.
You don't have to be Catholic, you don't even have to be a believer, to learn from the Pope. With Putin and Trump, there's no hope. You just have to hope Russia is better than Putin. And you know America is better than Trump.
Arthur walked through the door, dropped a four inch thick poll on the table with a thud, sat down, and said, If you don't want to lose this election, you have to learn something new.
That was in December of 1983 when Jesse Helms was fighting for survival against Jim Hunt and Arthur – who'd polled in each of Jesse's campaigns – went on to say there were two types of elections: Issues Elections, where people vote for a candidate based on his (or her) stands on issues; and Character Elections, where people vote for a candidate because they admire his honesty, intelligence, humility, kindness or strength.
Issue elections happen all the time but character elections are rare and more deadly: A voter might decide to vote for a candidate he doesn't agree with on an issue but he won't vote for a candidate he believes is a crook.
You, Arthur said looking across the table at Tom Ellis and me, Have been running issues campaigns for twelve years. You love issues campaigns. And you've run one against Jim Hunt for the last year – but it hasn't worked.
He pointed to the poll (about an ad we'd run with Jesse saying, I'm Jesse Helms. I opposed the Panama Canal giveaway. Where do you stand, Jim?) and said the ad worked not because of the Panama Canal – but because of the 'Where do you stand Jim?' Which was about Jim Hunt's character.
Watching the Presidential election I'm beginning to suspect it, too, is about character (at least for Republicans). It doesn't matter where Donald Trump stands on abortion – voters look at Trump and see strength and that's what they want: Strength.
Carly Fiorina showed steel in the last debate. And rose in the polls.
Jeb Bush showed weakness in the first debate. And dropped.
Marc Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Rand Paul, in both debates, have spoken carefully modulated phrases about issues but, after months of campaigning, are still flat on their backs.
This phenomenon is so rare the pundits and gurus and candidates trying to stop Donald Trump are watching him, amazed, but the cure to their conundrum may be as simple as: If you want to win this election, you have to learn something new.
The old hymn goes, 'Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow.'
Is that idea true? Or false?
Do you agree? Or disagree?
And if the old hymn's true what happens if we elect a President who worships another god? Does it matter? Do blessings only flow to individuals – or does He also bless nations? Does electing a Muslim spell an unhappy ending where blessings no longer flow?
After Ben Carson answered that question he got hammered on CNN, called un-American in the newspapers, and part of the country went haywire.
And, once the fireworks started, the other Republican candidates – including Ted Cruz – dove for cover. Even the irrepressible Donald Trump ducked (though, in fairness, he did quip a lot of people believe we have a Muslim in the White House now).
So what do we have on our hands here? A circus of militant diversity run amuck? An outbreak of pure devilment? Or does the old hymn just not matter anymore?
It usually begins with an evasion which leads to another evasion and soon, like a hapless fly, even for a Brigadier General (who was a paratrooper) the silken webs are inescapable: Tony Tata, explaining to the News and Observer about three affairs, an out of wedlock child, a forged court order, an army investigation and the end of his military career, said: "It is inappropriate and unlawful for those motivated to tarnish my reputation to publish unsubstantiated allegations from two or three decades ago. I have served our nation, state and county with integrity and diligence in combat and in peacetime, as my military and public service records reflect."
Then he added that – last July – he resigned as Secretary of Transportation "partly because he 'was polling for Congress at the time' and 'that probably is not consistent with being a Cabinet member' for Republican Governor Pat McCrory."
More webs.
General Tata polled last February – months before he resigned.

The room was very nice and the full kitchen was an added bonus. My wife and I had a great time there and the staff was very helpful.Breakfast in the Christiansen's Tavern was very well prepared.
The room was amazing. Excellent view of the mountains.
There was a nice pool that we sadly did not take advantage of. The staff at the front desk was nice.
Room was still dirty when we arrived, so we were 'upgraded'. That meant that we had to go to the back of the motel and climb a flight of outside stairs to our room. (The pool was out front) The indoor water at the place was totally discolored and dirty.
The hotel is in a nice quiet area. Easy access. When we had issue with the room that was allocated, they were happy to change us immediately. Happy for the price that we paid.
The receptionist was not so friendly, kept hanging up while we asking her about the location.
The free breakfast was excellent, and the restaurant the night before was extremely accommodating for dinner when we didn't have a reservation. The restaurant staff and the food were excellent.
The room was poorly decorated in 1950's decor with a very unpleasant musty odor. Only 5 tv channels, The heat did not work. The temperature never got above 60 degrees all night long. Not worth the price we paid.
For us the location was perfect.
Rooms very clean.
The place is huge with lots of rooms.
There was hardly any heat. The living room had the heat unitand a small duct ran into the bedroom. It never warmed up!
Nice small private busines
Country atmosphere. Our room was all about rooster decor.
Definitely would have loved some protein offered at breakfast. Eggs' bacon?
The staff was amazingly accommodating! But when you book, make sure to request the NEW SIDE OF THE BUILDING. The old side is... Old.
My fiancé and I wet first assigned to a room in the old side or the building. It just felt a little sad and tired. I called the front desk and the lovely clerk IMMEDIATELY switched our room to a new one which was great. Luckily we were there for a couple days that weren't too busy but if they can help you, they will. Seriously nice staff.
Staff was nice, the room was clean, it was very inexpensive.
The towels in the bathroom were very small and thin.
Great location, well kept, taken care of.
There's no real lobby, which made check in and check out difficult.
Clean and well laid out rooms
Nice breakfast with friendly staff
The staff and the size and cleanliness of the room.
The fitness room is marginal.
the price that was quoted was not what they gave me i ended up spending way to much for what was offered me here. the room was super cold and you could see day light through the door and it being as cold as it was the air rush in and i froze .
WiFi did not work in the room. TV did not work. The WC was automatically flushing every 15 minutes, due to this noise could not sleep. Speaking to the staff about these issues did not help.
I liked the rooms in the back facing the brookthe bed was very comfortablethe bfast in the morning was goodcould have used some fresh cut up fruitexcellent coffee Hotel Employee was lovelywould stay again
Security , friendly, location, comfort
No problems at all
Cleanliness, location, great breakfast (wonderful food choices, good company!), provided info about nearby places of interest. Quiet, relaxed ambiance .
Shared bathroom facilities, distance from room to bathroom. (Neither of these were a problem but it might have been more of an issue had it been more crowded.)
Here's why:

Letter: Brave? Proud?
Jim Brock, North Naples
Brave? Proud?
I am so pleased that President Barack Obama would take the time to talk with Sandra Fluke, the stressed law student who has to pay for contraception.
I also have profound admiration for Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats for hearing her plight.
With all the troubles this county has, it is wonderful that this woman can have the attention of such a compassionate president and legislators. I am sure those who are fighting for our country will be pleased that they are fighting for such a deserving woman and a brave president and distinguish legislators.
This makes me proud?

SDHCShort for Secure Digital High Capacity, SDHC is a type of flash memory card based on the SDA 2.00 specification. The SDA 2.00 specification enables SD cards to reach higher capacities from 4GB to 32GB, and growing. SDHC uses a new technology, and as such these cards are not backwards compatible with SD format devices. SDHC uses a defined 3 speed class system to help consumers with the different data transfer speed (DTS) and performance minimum requirements;
- Class 2: minimum sustained DTS of 2MB/sec
- Class 4: minimum sustained DTS of 4MB/sec
- Class 6: minimum sustained DTS of 6MB/sec
The SD Specification Version 2.0 for the SDHC memory card was established by the SD Card Association (SDA).

The internet services, which were snapped last Saturday, were restored late last evening, providing relief to nearly five lakh mobile internet subscribers in the Valley.
Internet services were snapped as a precautionary measure as authorities apprehended that trouble-makers may misuse social networking tools for fomenting trouble by spreading rumours.
The decision to snap the services had come in for sharp criticism from rights groups, which termed it as a gag on freedom of expression.

Skiing in the A-basin
... Anyway, after arriving, it took ages to kit the kids out with skis, helmets and particularly boots. Oscar's number one priority in clothing is always comfort so boots took a while as none of them are comfortable. Astrid's comments were not always helpful either!
Finally, skiing started at 12 ish with some lessons from Olav about snow-ploughing and steering. He has improved since he tried to teach me - back then, his technique was to yell 'Turn!' even though I ...

I try the sauce on my second dumpling, but I'm using chopsticks. Though, I do know how to use them, I'm not that great, and in my attempt to dip the dumpling, I drop it in the sauce. The little sauce dish is shallow so all isn't lost right? I attempt to rescue the dumpling but it isn't going well. More sauce has now found ...

The hustle of family life -- work, school, appointments, practice, homework, dinner, bed -- is constant. We move in and out of activities and commitments with ferocity. Some days, I'm certain all I really say to my children, in one way or another, is "move." As in, let's go -- now! And I know that we move with purpose, balancing meaningful work with practical considerations, valuing studies, deliberately selecting activities that matter. In our world, food, family even and free play have a firm place, often touted as sacred and protected ground. And since our life is designed to fully embrace living it, we have to be mindful of all the pieces that might creep in and occupy more than their fair share. Technology is one of those pieces.
All at once, it seems, our children began leaving diapers, cribs and strollers for backpacks, playdates and sports. Seemingly, the technology infiltrated just as suddenly. One day I was managing public preschool television programming and a small selection of desktop computer games, the next, portable devices, social networks, e-readers, video games and the everywhere of the Internet. I had to adapt to the shift, but that didn't mean I couldn't manage the multiple screens like I manage our family philosophy of purpose. With the same vision of mindfulness we apply in other areas of our life, the Slow Tech philosophy was born.
The Slow Tech movement began with boundaries, or iRules -- specific ways we would use the technology, carefully outlined to consider age, academic need, personal tendencies and type of devices. These guidelines supported our expectations of each individual child. Then we made house rules built on strategies that would work for the entire family system. It became less about the constant use of technology and more about how we use the technology. Like anything else, it felt vital that our relationship to technology be healthy, with high standards for respect, personal responsibility and embracing all the positives the technology can offer. We talk about it, constantly and continuously, as it changes and grows like our family. Slow Tech parenting isn't about perfection; it's about awareness. It's about knowing what works for your family, what aligns with your values and beliefs and above all what matters enough to protect and preserve as a parent.
Want to Become a Slow Tech Family? Try These Ideas:
1. Designate "No Phone Zones" or other tech-free times (for children and adults) to be together without interruption or distraction. This works great during mealtimes, car rides, family outings or at bedtime.
2. Wait! Just wait -- in line, at the doctor's office, for the bus, at school pickup -- just sit and wait. You never know what thought might arise or conversation might start if you're hands free and eyes up.
3. Watching TV or a movie on the couch? All eyes on one screen! In our house, we say, "No double dipping!" -- i.e., don't give more than one screen your attention at a time.
4. Hold the photo! Go for a walk, a meal, a playground visit or that performance without snapping a picture. Watch it through your own lens and absorb the moment.
5. Say "tell me" instead of "show me." It's so easy to quickly pull up a definition, video or example. Every now and then, sprinkle a "convo only" house rule around that kitchen island.
6. Start and end the day device-free. Allow for proper shutdown, and keep sleep sacred!
7. Slow Tech yourself. Think of all the ways technology has annoyed or invaded your life. Practice protecting yourself from it. Then identify the ways your life is tech positive, and use those aspects as a celebration of technology.

Teens and Technology" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Pew Research Center Gist: "Fully 95% of teens are online, a percentage that has been consistent since 2006. Yet, the nature of teens' internet use has transformed dramatically during that time ... Teens are just as likely to have a cell phone as they are to have a desktop or laptop computer. And increasingly these phones are affording teens always-on, mobile access to the internet — in some cases, serving as their primary point of access."
Preschoolers Can Learn Great Things From TV" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Huffington Post (to read the actual study, visit Pediatrics -- subscription required) Gist: "New research out today by Dr Christakis finds that putting our time and energy into working to improve what our children watch, not just how much they watch, can have a positive impact on their behavior -- even for children as young as 3 years of age."
Media and Violence: An Analysis of Current Research " width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Common Sense Media Gist: "While longitudinal research does allow us to speak in terms of a 'causal' relationship, it is probably more accurate and useful to think about media violence as a 'risk factor' rather than a 'cause' of violence — one variable among many that increases the risk of violent behavior among some children."
Source: Reuters (to read the actual study, visit JAMA Pediatrics -- log-in required) Gist: "[R]esearchers said the new study backs up earlier findings showing too much screen time and not enough exercise may be separate issues that parents and schools need to address independently."
How Families Interact on Facebook " width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Facebook Gist: "We investigated anonymized and automatically processed posts and comments by people self-identified as parents and children to understand how conversation patterns with each other might be a bit different from those with their other friends."
Parents, Teens, and Online Privacy " width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Pew Research Center Gist: "Most parents of teenagers are concerned about what their teenage children do online and how their behavior could be monitored by others. Some parents are taking steps to observe, discuss, and check up on their children's digital footprints."
Public Supports Expanded Internet Safety Requirements to Protect Kids" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health Gist: "In this Poll, nearly two out of three adults expressed strong support for proposed COPPA updates, including requiring apps designed for kids to confirm that users are at least 13 and prohibiting apps from collecting personal information from users under age 13."
The Online Generation Gap" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Family Online Safety Institute Gist: "These surveys indicate that teens' concerns about their online safety parallel parents' concerns more closely than parents realize and that many teens are taking steps to protect their privacy and personal information. Nonetheless, teens suggest that parents are not as informed about what their teens do online as parents think they are, and some teens are taking risks by providing personal information to strangers online."
Children, Teens, and Entertainment Media: The View From The Classroom" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Common Sense Media Gist: "America's teachers -- whether they are long-time classroom veterans or young, tech-savvy ones, at wealthy schools or low-income schools, public or private, elementary or high school -- surface relatively consistent concerns: Students are having issues with their attention span, writing, and face-to-face communication, and, in the experience of teachers, children's media use is contributing to the problem. On the plus side, teachers find that young people's facility with media is helping them find information quickly and multitask more effectively."
How Teens Do Research in the Digital World" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Pew Research Center Gist: "Three-quarters of AP [Advanced Placement] and NWP [National Writing Project] teachers say that the internet and digital search tools have had a 'mostly positive' impact on their students' research habits, but 87% say these technologies are creating an 'easily distracted generation with short attention spans' and 64% say today's digital technologies 'do more to distract students than to help them academically.'"
Social Media, Social Life: How Teens View Their Digital Lives" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Common Sense Media Gist: "Three out of four teens have social networking sites, and half of all teens are on their sites on a daily basis. But despite our concerns about social media, in the vast majority of cases, these media do not appear to be causing great tumult in teenagers' lives."
Teens, Smartphones and Texting: Texting Volume Is Up While Frequency of Voice Calling Is Down" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Pew Research Center Gist: "The volume of texting among teens has risen from 50 texts a day in 2009 to 60 texts for the median teen text user. The frequency of teens' phone chatter with friends - on cell phones and landlines - has fallen. But the heaviest texters are also the heaviest talkers with their friends."
Impact of an Active Video Game on Healthy Children's Physical Activity" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Pediatrics Gist: "There was no evidence that children receiving the active video games were more active in general, or at anytime, than children receiving the inactive video games."
Teens, Kindness And Cruelty on Social Network Sites: How American Teens Navigate the New World of "Digital Citizenship"" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Pew Research Center Gist: "As social media use has become pervasive in the lives of American teens, a new study finds that 69% of the teenagers who use social networking sites say their peers are mostly kind to one another on such sites. Still, 88% of these teens say they have witnessed people being mean and cruel to another person on the sites, and 15% report that they have been the target of mean or cruel behavior on social network sites."
Preschool-Aged Children's Television Viewing in Child Care Settings " width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Pediatrics Gist: "We found that children in as many as 70% of home-based child care settings and 36% of center-based child care settings watch television daily. More importantly, when television is viewed at all, infants and children spend 2 to 3 hours watching in home-based programs and ~1.5 hours watching in center-based programs."
Media Use by Children Younger Than 2 Years" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Pediatrics Gist: "This updated policy statement provides further evidence that media—both foreground and background—have potentially negative effects and no known positive effects for children younger than 2 years. Thus, the AAP reaffirms its recommendation to discourage media use in this age group. This statement also discourages the use of background television intended for adults when a young child is in the room."
Zero to Eight: Children's Media Use in America" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Common Sense Media Gist: "Nine-month-olds spend nearly an hour a day watching television or DVDs, 5-year-olds are begging to play with their parents' iPhones, and 7-year-olds are sitting down in front of a computer several times a week to play games, do homework, or check out how their avatars are doing in their favorite virtual worlds. Television is still as popular as ever, but reading may be beginning to trend downward. Having an accurate understanding of the role of media in children's lives is essential for all of those concerned about promoting healthy child development: parents, educators, pediatricians, public health advocates, and policymakers, to name just a few."
Cell Phone Study 'Misleading': Children May Still Be At Increased Cancer Risk, Experts Say " width="52" height="52"/>
Source: The Huffington Post Gist: "[E]xperts have some serious concerns regarding the methods and conclusions of the first study evaluating the connection between cell phone radiation and brain cancer in children and teens. Not only was the study flawed, they note, but it was also financially supported by the cell phone industry."
Children's Screen Viewing Is Related to Psychological Difficulties Irrespective of Physical Activity " width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Pediatrics Gist: "This study found that greater television and computer use was related to greater psychological difficulties, independent of gender, age, level of deprivation, pubertal status, and objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time."
Television and Video Game Exposure and the Development of Attention Problems" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Pediatrics Gist: "Viewing television and playing video games each are associated with increased subsequent attention problems in childhood. It seems that a similar association among television, video games, and attention problems exists in late adolescence and early adulthood."
Teens, Cell Phones and Texting: Text Messaging Becomes Centerpiece Communication " width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Pew Research Center Gist: "Fully two-thirds of teen texters say they are more likely to use their cell phones to text their friends than talk to them to them by cell phone."
Generation M2: Media in the Lives of 8- to 18-Year-Olds" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Kaiser Family Foundation Gist: "Today, 8-18 year-olds devote an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes (7:38) to using entertainment media across a typical day (more than 53 hours a week). And because they spend so much of that time 'media multitasking' (using more than one medium at a time), they actually manage to pack a total of 10 hours and 45 minutes (10:45) worth of media content into those 7½ hours."

Every two years, Apple redesigns the iPhone. And in between each new design is an "S" model, one that looks basically the same as the previous version but overhauls the insides to keep things fresh. 2015 is an S year.
New designs typically generate the bigger buzz since it's easier to convince people that something is worth an upgrade when it looks and feels new. But to its credit, Apple is careful to make these less-buzzworthy S refreshes about more than just adding speed or bumping up the camera. The iPhone 4S added Siri. The iPhone 5S brought TouchID and 64-bit support. And the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are mostly about the pressure-sensitive screen, dubbed "3D Touch."
Still, the right iPhone upgrade interval for most...| Read more »

J Jean & ATTOS connect the original with some hyped bassline styles, while Generator drops a more jack-house reworking whilst keeping the echoey vocals nicely in tact. Serg O's "Mega Blast" mix slots in nicely, thanks to some driving hats and claps, while DLRM goes all out for a punishing and severely hardcore dubstep treatment that's as brilliant as it is brutal.

Singer Sarah Brightman delays space tourist training: Russian space agency
British singer Sarah Brightman has delayed the start of her training to be a space tourist but plans to go ahead with her flight, Russia's space agency said Friday.

Breakfast links: 12 dirty pols
Jack Evans previously argued every dollar going into the fund was critical to avoid downgrading the bond rating, and that it wasn't possible to restore any affordable housing programs. Now, he thinks it's no problem to spend on tax cuts. (Examiner)
Having a bus garage there is a waste of space and a wasted opportunity.
I didn't even know you were allowed to park there, and I used to live around the corner. Although I don't know why you would want to park there.
by Michael Perkins on Jul 13, 2011 9:53 am • link • report
Free online petition. Someone with more time start the recall process. thanks.
People who bought bonds with reliance on their tax-free status have the right to pursue legal action against the city and with the House Ways and Means Committee.
I agree that Evans needs to get the ol' heave ho, but 5,000 votes is a tall order indeed, especially given the extent to which Evans has cultivated the business community and the blonde charity mafia set. Unless he is somehow revealed to be an embarrassing liability, they're going to stick with their man.
Honestly, our best hope is that he runs for Attorney General.
Dream on, my friend. With a chunk of change in the bank and a campaign operation in full swing, Evans can't be beat in 2012. You're better off looking towards 2016.
Evans is not only connected to the business community, but also to the neighborhoods. You cannot dismiss the fact that he is well liked across the Ward. You don't get to stick around for 20 years any other way.
The Green Party is a third party to the left of the two main corporate parties made most famous by Ralph Nader's presidential run in 2000. Google us, you might like what you see. I think I know at least one person in the Green Party in Arlington. I would hope their position is being drastically oversimplified in the article linked above...I would assume the argument is that some empirical data indicates that higher income potential residents would be more likely to move into that area (and displace lower earning residents) if a streetcar was present, while current bus lines amply can handle current public transportation needs? I have no empirical data to rely on in order to make an educated guess in that area, however.

Hi, Is there a bus or train service from Washington Dulles to Winchester, VA on a Sunday?
No. There isn't any train service out of Dulles to anywhere. You are not going to have any option other than renting a car to get to Winchester.
I suppose you could pay a taxi, but it will cost you.
I checked both Amtrak (train) and Greyhound (bus), and neither appears to go to Winchester on any day of the week. You can get to Union Station in DC from Dulles by using the coach (bus) service Washington Flyer. The Washington Flyer service goes to the West Falls Church Metrorail stop, and from there you can get to Union Station. There is also Metrobus service into DC. However, none of these options gets you to Winchester. As the previous poster mentioned, it appears that only car rental (hire) or taxi will get you there.
You might try "Big Daddy Shuttle". I think they used to do a shuttle at 7a and 7p. 540-955-0626. Very old number, but they used to be very good.
