I wanted to share with you a huge "ah-ha" moment I had yesterday. This idea touched my heart deeply and I am curious to see if anyone else has implemented it.
Yesterday we had a Holistic Nurse come in to speak on how healing happens and self care. It was beyond what I expected and was very moving. One of the points she touched on is one we as instructors teach our students; grounding before session. But she took this a step further and talked about how the massage room was "sacred ground". Well this did make sense to me, but what I heard in my heart right after she said this was "treat your classroom as sacred". Wow! That idea had never crossed my mind! I can get so wrapped up in everything I need to do, teach, & communicate that I had never bothered to even consider that. So now I am making it a personal goal, to set my intention for each class before I enter the "sacred learning space".
Brian and I had the privilege of bringing the Instructors on the Front Lines to the Ohio Council of Massage Therapy Schools this past Friday! Wow….what an impressive group of educators and administrators! Special thanks to Karl Meyer for inviting us and to everyone for making us feel so welcome. Your sharing of ideas was inspirational!
Our next event will be August 26th in Virginia Beach, VA! Good thing it's no longer Shark Week! LOL

Post Grad
- Studio: Fox Searchlight Pictures
- Release Date: Aug 21, 2009
- Starring: Alexis Bledel, Carol Burnett, Michael Keaton
- Summary: Ryden Malby had a plan. Do well in high school, thereby receiving a great college scholarship. Now that she's finally graduated, it's time for her to find a gorgeous loft apartment and land her dream job at the city's best publishing house. (Fox Searchlight)
- Director: Vicky Jenson
- Genre(s): Comedy
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 25
Mixed: 13 out of 25
Negative: 10 out of 25
It's a screwball comedy. It's also, I have to say, a feel-good movie that made me smile a lot.
Ms. Bledel works her "Gilmore Girls" charm to the hilt, but no amount of cerulean-eyed sparkle can transcend this level of thudding mediocrity.
A disjointed patchwork of zany character sketches lacking in coherence and credibility.
As fiction characters go, Ryden seems as dull as they come, making it hard to muster much sympathy for her plight.
Ostensibly a comedy, and a feeble and innocuous one at that, Post Grad is one of those what-were-they-thinking?
A joyless fluffball about after-college job woes with a dispiriting message for smart young women.
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 3
Mixed: 1 out of 3
Negative: 0 out of 3

Nov 18, 2012I knew Post Grad wasn't the perfect movie for Gilmore Girls fans, but I'd prefer a rental. The movie not that great, but really works on a prom night.
ChadS.Aug 21, 2009Like a mediocre Woody Allen movie, even when the hyper-literate banter between Lorelai and Rory(on the much-missed WB dramedy "Gilmore Like a mediocre Woody Allen movie, even when the hyper-literate banter between Lorelai and Rory(on the much-missed WB dramedy "Gilmore Girls") wasn't quite up to form, you were still in the company of smart, articulate people. Sometimes you had to settle for "Stars Hollow Ending". Rory Gilmore, the prodigious only child of a single mother(played to perfection by Lauren Graham) was such a vivid, genuine creation, the last thing Alexis Bledel should do is play somebody who could be her less accomplished twin. Similar to Rory, in "Post-Grad", Ryden Malby graduates from college with a degree in English; she reads, lo and behold, novels. Among her favorites are J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye" and Charles Bukowski's "Post Office", books you could imagine Rory reading, but not Ryden, a girl who balks at selling luggage with her old man(played by Michael Keaton) as a stopgap measure against unemployment. Ryden's highfalutin attitude towards menial labor tells me that she learned nothing from the trials and tribulations of Bukowski's alter-ego Henry Chinaski. Posited as the nice girl, Ryden is hardly sympathetic when the school valedictorian gives her a hard time by being faux-fussy with the paraphernalia, not after having just seen the working stiff lose some customers due to a woeful demeanor. Worst of all, she disrespects her father by walking off the job. Rory would never leave Lorelai in a lurch. True, it's not fair to compare roles, but that's the problem with "Post-Grad"; both girls are collegiate and relatively clean-cut. Bledel had the right idea when she played a hooker in Richard Rodriguez's "Sin City". She has to play against type.… Expand

I want to package up an application in MATLAB for another team to use. They will have an appropriate version of MATLAB to run this application, but they might not necessarily have licenses for all the toolboxes used by the application.
Is there a way to "bundle" the toolboxes into the application so that they do not require expensive licenses to run it?
If not, is it possible to create a stand-alone/license independent MATLAB application a different way?
EDIT: Some of these applications might feature GUIs as well as command line interfaces.

I'm on the fence. My favorite haircut of her was the asymmetrical bob that she had when she released her "Good Girl Gone Bad" CD. I think shorter cuts are very her. Long hair seems too sweet for someone as edgy as she.

Chutney MasalaRead MoreThe aroma of mint never fails to take Navjot Arora back to his childhood in Jalandhar, Punjab, when he'd spend mornings scouring his family garden for fresh mint leaves. Navjot would triumphantly bring his findings back to the kitchen, where he was allowed to grind the leaves with a pestle for the mint chutney—the most important condiment. He worked alongside his parents, marveling as they nimbly sliced tender goat meat, throwing it against the wall to test for doneness, and thoughtfully tasted spoonfuls of creamy curry from simmering pots. Though Navjot would go on to study under master Indian chefs at the prestigious Taj Group of Hotels and work for top restaurants in New York, he never forgot the culinary lessons he learned in his family's kitchen. At Chutney Masala, he still hand grinds fresh herbs and spices to bring out their intricate flavors, adding them to sauces lauded by reporters from the New York Times as "superbly complex." The expert chef then folds free-range meat, wild seafood, and local produce into a variety of contemporary and traditional Indian dishes, from spicy lamb curries to fragrant biryani rice. Navjot's dining room is nearly as intriguing as the flavors in his dishes, with brick walls speckled with photographs from India's mid-19th century Raj era and rustic antique accents. A mounted deer head overlooks the rows of wooden tabletops and cushy green booths, sometimes sneezing when a waft of cumin floats to his nostrils.4 West Main StreetIrvington, NY US

I'm sick of every debate about women and work quietly morphing into an argument about educated, corporate-track mothers.

It seems like I'm exactly the sort of woman Sheryl Sandberg wants to "lean in." I'm professionally hungry, under 40 years old, creative and entrepreneurial, with no kids or spouse, and I work in an industry (journalism) in which the upper echelon is male-dominated. But I've already decided Sandberg's campaign isn't for me. And after reading dozens of interviews and op-eds, reviewing her PowerPoint slides, and rewatching her TED talk (although, I admit, not having read her book yet), I'm clearly not alone. We're already in the backlash-to-the-backlash, and the book isn't even on sale until Monday.
The premise of Sandberg's exhortation to "lean in" is that too many women do the opposite — they subtly pull back their work responsibilities in anticipation of getting hitched and having kids, or after the fact, and in doing so they undermine their chances at professional success before they've even hit their stride. Sandberg is not as tone deaf as has been charged; she repeatedly acknowledges that her advice is directed at privileged, professional women and admits that we need big policy changes, not just small consciousness-raising groups. So why all the vitriol? It's because the conversation about Sandberg's nascent "movement" has become yet another battle in the interminable mommy wars, a broad term for the ongoing fight about how women reconcile the demands of work and childrearing, and how those choices affect our collective equality.
Last year's annual mommy wars mega-flare-up was sparked by an Atlantic cover story by Anne-Marie Slaughter, who argued women still can't "have it all" — which she defined as a successful career and children. This time around, outlets from the New York Times to the tech site PandoDaily have set up Sandberg as a foil to Slaughter (much to Slaughter's chagrin), even though Sandberg bends over backwards to acknowledge how hard it is to be a working mom. "If you took out her caveats and provisos — that she respects stay-at-home mothers and knows she writes from the pinnacle of privilege and is aware her advice might not help a single mother in a minimum wage job and understands that many women don't aspire to climb the corporate ladder and she doesn't judge anyone, except probably Hitler — the book would be at least a quarter shorter, and a better read," wrote Joan Walsh at Salon. Even the unmarried women in this discussion are still mothers: "Sandberg barely mentions the millions of single mothers in the workplace," wrote Connie Schultz in the Washington Post. Meanwhile, Caitlin Flanagan argues at Time.com that Sandberg isn't paying enough attention to any moms: "In her view, staying home with children is simply a lifestyle choice, one that can be resisted by crafting a more attractive option in the workplace."
Last month, while many feminists were lambasting Sandberg, recently appointed Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer made headlines for eliminating her company's work-from-home policies. It was instantly portrayed as an affront to working mothers. A male CEO may have come under some fire for making this decision, but likely would not have been called a hypocrite. Mayer, after all, is building a nursery adjacent to her office in order to care for both her newborn and her flagging tech giant. This was another fascinating debate, one that should have resonated with me as someone who works from home, yet it became mostly about motherhood. Here I'll add some Sandberg-style caveats of my own: I know that most women, unlike me, want to become mothers, and that the dual demands of parenting and work have a disproportionately negative effect on them. U.S. work culture is highly unsupportive of parents, and I want that to change. But I'm sick of every conversation about women and work subtly morphing into a conversation about corporate-track moms.
This default has effects that reach far beyond the op-ed pages. Many corporations now strive for a veneer of family friendliness, so it's not likely a woman will get the stink-eye for leaving early to catch her kid's soccer game. Which is a feminist victory. But if a childless employee cops to the fact that she's ducking out for a yoga class? It's seen as downright indulgent and may even show up on a performance review. In interviews, Mayer has suggested that the professionally ambitious woman pick one thing — one thing! — that helps them unwind, and do it every week. (In other words, it's okay to go to yoga, but only yoga.) I want all working women to have opportunities — and all working men to have life balance, too — but have caught myself thinking, why is it easier to ask me to work during my three-day weekend than it is to demand my co-worker check e-mail while on vacation with her kids? "Work-life balance" has become synonymous with "upper-class working moms," and that's a problem for everyone.
Systemic solutions like more flexible family-leave policies and subsidized childcare would be game-changers for mommy warriors. But, ironically, when such policy solutions are on the table, the people on the front lines agitating for them aren't professional-track mothers. They're usually low-wage workers of all genders. Case in point: New York City Council Speaker and mayoral hopeful Christine Quinn is single-handedly blocking a bill that would ensure paid sick days for all workers in the city. This news item, which should be at the heart of the work-life balance conversation, has rarely been noted as we huff and puff about Sandberg's circles and Mayer's nursery. "While we all worry about the glass ceiling, there are millions of women standing in the basement," British feminist Laurie Penny once wrote, "and the basement is flooding." Have you read much about the domestic workers' strike in California, much less participated in a Twitter debate about it? Me neither. The "mommy wars" is like a discourse borg that manages to absorb and distort all conversations about women and work.
While "having it all" has become shorthand for "professional success and a fulfilling family life," the definition of "all" is highly individualistic. Some women want to work from home with their kids, some want time to volunteer and travel, some want basic sick-day protections. This is perhaps what Nora Ephron meant in her 1996 commencement speech when she assured every young woman in the audience at Wellesley, "of course you can have it all" as long as you "embrace the mess." The trick is in the definition. There are some women for whom "it all" is a living wage and a paid day off when their kid is sick. My mother — a stay-at-home mom — made her own quiet commentary on the mommy wars with a refrigerator magnet that said "Every mother is a working woman." And a true movement for flexible workplaces has got to acknowledge that not every working woman is bound for the C-suite. Or even wants to be there — nursery adjacent, or not.

Bi-Rite owner Sam Mogannam, who always uses a heritage-breed turkey, cooks the white and dark meats separately to prevent the breast from drying out before the tougher leg meat is fully cooked. The method is also successful with conventional birds, plus it cuts the turkey cooking time by two-thirds. Because of this turkey's large size, salting at least 8 hours before cooking allows the seasoning to fully penetrate.

World (Genetically Modified) Food Prize
United States
21 Oct 13
October 16 was an important day for anyone who follows developments in the food industry or food policy. On the one hand it was World Food Day, an annual event to mark the day the FAO was founded, celebrated with different initiatives to raise awareness of sustainable food systems (the event's official theme for 2013). To mark the day, and draw attention to the related issue of food waste, hundreds of young people came together in different cities to organize and take part in a series of activities in what became known as Disco Anti Food Waste Day.
On the other hand, it was also the day that the World Food Prize, sometimes referred to as the "Nobel Prize for Agriculture", was being awarded. Shockingly, but maybe not surprisingly, this year it went to three scientists working to develop genetically modified organisms (GMOs): Marc Van Montagu, professor emeritus at the Institute of Plant Biotechnology for Developing Countries, Mary-Dell Chilton and Robert Fraley, whose names are linked respectively to the two chemical giants: Syngenta and Monsanto.
The first signs of trouble came with their nomination back in June, which was followed by widespread condemnation around the world from independent scientists and activists. On closer inspection, however, the allocation of the award begins to make sense. As many have pointed out, the sponsors of the World Food Prize include names that have little to do with sustainability in agriculture, at least in the way we understand it. They include Dupont, Pioneer, Cargill, Walmart, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Syngenta and Monsanto, which in 2008 gave the prize 5 million euros. On the prize's website you can also read how the award was established by Dr. Norman E. Borlaug, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 and the father of the "Green Revolution," an immense push for innovation imposed on agriculture around the world to increase productivity. A revolution whose questionable, or at least controversial, results have often been the subject of debate.
Borlaug, Monsanto, Syngenta, World Food Prize… The connection between these names brings the prestige of the prize into doubt or, at the very least, makes us think that the type of agriculture it promotes is worlds apart from what we as Slow Food are defending. Even though the terminology used is similar, if not identical, for example "sustainability", we know the proposed solutions regarding the future of food are in complete opposition. We also know that Monsanto is very skilled in its choice of words. So skilled that, as Marie-Monique Robin explains in Our Daily Poison, in the last decades the word "pesticides" has been gradually abandoned, and replaced by the more reassuring "plant production products," "phytopharmaceuticals" or "agropharmaceuticals", emphasizing their supposedly curative role.
Although somewhat deceitful, these communication strategies are highly efficient. Despite many being outraged at the recent announcement, many others will assume Monsanto was fairly awarded the "Nobel Prize for Agriculture." However, it could maybe do with a bit more finesse: Isn't it a little crass to award a prize to yourself?
So, what to do? How to react? In this case, it may be better not to react. After all, bad press is still press. It would be more beneficial to acquire a better understanding of the image Monsanto wants to give itself. And then to look elsewhere: to Mexico, for example, where an important legal battle has just been won against Monsanto or to all those young people who celebrated World Food Day by battling food waste; and to the Group of 4: a national alliance from Haiti that promotes good farming practices and advocates for peasant farmers, which recently won the Food Sovereignty Prize: with less fanfare and a lot more honesty.

The outbreak of the great pneumonic plague in Manchuria a few winters ago afforded the first larger opportunity to study the pathologic anatomy of this disease and to examine histologically the lesions that are produced by it. To the earlier reports and particularly to those of the American investigators, Strong, Crowell and Teague,1 are now added the notes collected by Dr. Wu Lien-Teh, director and chief medical officer of the North Manchurian Plague Prevention Service, and Prof. G. Sims Woodhead of the University of Cambridge, England.2 They believe that the specimens examined by them afford evidence of the presence of an extremely acute septicemic condition in pneumonic plague. The heart is evidently affected by very active toxins. The liver shows typical examples of lesions produced by specific infective micro-organisms that give rise to toxic substances. The epithelium of the kidneys is modified by a similar toxic activity. It

Funding via Negros Women for Tomorrow Foundation, Inc. (NWTF)
Marites sells snacks she cooks, like "pansit," out of her snack house in her village. Sometimes, she also sells house to house and fortunately she is generating an income sufficient to sustain their daily needs. She is again hoping for a loan of PHP 5,000. This little amount will provide the capital she needs in her business. Marites hopes that she will manage to continuously support the financial needs of her two children who are studying in college. Their tuition fees are very high and she is really working hard just to pay their tuition fees and provide them their daily allowances. Through patience, Marites believe, she will overcome the hardship of life.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

Greetings from Santa Monica, CA! From all of us here at the Prostate Cancer Foundation, we are delighted to write a guest blog post for The Republic of Tea. And it could not come at a better time. September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, a time of year when we reflect on how far we have come in the fight against prostate cancer. Over the past two decades, we have helped reduce the U.S. prostate cancer death rate by more than 50%, and thanks to recent advances, prostate cancer is nearly 100% treatable if detected early. We are especially proud that we have helped deliver 6 new life-extending drugs to patients in just 4 short years.
However, September is also a time when we take a serious inventory of how much more remains to be done. This year, over 220,000 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and more than 27,000 will die from the disease. Prostate cancer is now the second most common cancer in America, and the 4th most common tumor diagnosed worldwide. We urgently need more treatments that put men with metastatic prostate cancer—an advanced, lethal form of the disease—in permanent remission. Our work is clearly cut out for us.
But we can't fight this battle alone. We could not be more grateful for our partnership with The Republic of Tea, which has been one of our greatest allies in our fight for good health. Thanks to their support of the PCF Young Investigator Program, two early career scientists are realizing important research that will help put an end to death and suffering from the disease. As of August 28, 2015, The Republic of Tea has donated $575,434.39 to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
The Republic of Tea also shares our commitment to good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Here at PCF we enjoy our Blueberry Green Tea over ice during these hot summer days.
This September, take a moment to learn more about prostate cancer by visiting www.manupgetchecked.org. We also encourage you to talk to your fathers, brothers and sons about prostate cancer and the importance of a healthy lifestyle. His health depends on it!

I am a high school English teacher with 4+ years of professional experience in Tennessee and Michigan. I'm secondary certified in three states and I have a BA in English Language and Literature. I've recently moved to Tacoma and I'm looking to continue teaching during the summer months, and into the Fall when possible. I'm an expert in American Literature, English Grammar, Research and Writing and I have additional qualifications to teach History. I consider myself to be an imaginative, patient and rigorous educator whose personal objective is absolute mastery of his subject. I am always reading in my content area and I bring a vast and contemporary breadth of knowledge to my work. I look forward to working with students grades 7-12 on anything English,History, Humanities or Art related. I'm a freelance artist also, and if you're looking for someone who can teach you to draw or paint, I can do that too.

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I scored 34 on the English portion of the ACT exam when I took it in 2004, placing me in the 99th percentile. As an avid reader and writer and as a professional teacher, I possess the knowledge and skill to prepare any student for this exam.
As an undergraduate student, I was a History minor. After completing my BA, I obtained certification to teach History in Michigan, and later was certified to teach History in Tennessee and Washington. I'm an avid reader in the content area and possess a wide range of knowledge in this subject.
I began to draw when I was 4, and I have been fine-tuning my draftsmanship skills restlessly and relentlessly ever since. I took undergraduate course work in Art and Humanities and took several long-term substitute teaching assignments for an art teacher in 2009. Professionally, I am a freelance artist and I regularly take commissions.
I have considerable experience as a tutor and substitute teacher working with elementary level students. A number of the students I work with regularly at Huntington Learning Center are elementary level, usually in the 4th-6th grade range. I take a patient, deliberately paced, encouraging approach to my work with this age group.
I worked as an English teacher in Clarksville, TN from 2009 to 2013. In teaching secondary English courses, I've designed and taught units in literature, poetry, research, informational texts, and drama. I am certified in Tennessee, Michigan and Washington to teach secondary English.
My undergraduate minor was History, and I'm an independent history buff and avid reader in the field. European History is a special interest. I can help you learn the important people, events and dates.
Having been a writer for most of my life and an English teacher for the past 5, my command of English Grammar is exceptional. Much of the English curricula I've taught has been Grammar-related, and I'm highly capable at teaching the more complex aspects of Grammar (diagramming sentences, for example). A command of grammar is the stepping stone towards professional writing, and any English course will have grammar fully integrated into it.
In my four years of English teaching experience, I have taught my students to analyze, interpret, and respond to a variety of literary works. I have taught poetry, Ancient Greek drama, Shakespearean drama and poetry, modern and classic novels, and modern and classic short stories. Additionally, I'm an avid reader of literature and am familiar with both the classics in the canon and with contemporary works.
As an undergraduate student, I was a writing coach in the university's tutoring center, and I received a high volume of thesis papers for review. As a professional teacher, I was responsible for proofreading every imaginable writing mode, from creative pieces to literary essays to technical texts. I'm a quick, thorough, accurate proofreader.
Vocabulary is an integral part of any English course, and having taught high school English for four years, I have had to both expand my own vocabulary and prompt my students to expand theirs. I use word walls, context clues, flash cards, dictionary analysis, free association, visualization, and any number of other creative strategies to ensure that my students retain the words that I teach them.
I've been a writer since childhood, and teaching writing is an essential aspect of the secondary English curriculum, which I've been teaching professionally for the past five years. I'm an thorough, brutally honest proofreader and editor, and I can help you to express your ideas with clarity, add fluency to your sentence structure, choose the best words, fix your mechanical errors, and organize any writing piece you need assistance with.

From the December 22 edition of Fox News' On the Record with Greta Van Susteren:

Conservative media have cited a study by insurance company WellPoint to claim that under health care reform, younger people would face premium increases of up to 178 percent. However, that study did not take into account subsidies provided by legislation to assist those buying insurance, which the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated would substantially lower premium costs for many individuals purchasing coverage on their own through the exchanges.
From the December 16 edition of Fox News' On the Record with Greta Van Susteren:
Loading the player reg...
The New York Times' David Carr looks at the Wall Street Journal under Rupert Murdoch's ownership, complete with complaints from the paper's reporters that the Journal has lurched rightward. One example of that shift caught my eye:
Mr. Baker, a neoconservative columnist of acute political views, has been especially active in managing coverage in Washington, creating significant grumbling, if not resistance, from the staff there. Reporters say the coverage of the Obama administration is reflexively critical, the health care debate is generally framed in terms of costs rather than benefits - "health care reform" is a generally forbidden phrase - and global warming skeptics have gotten a steady ride. (Of course, objectivity is in the eyes of the reader.)
That's the kind of fairly subtle that often goes unnoticed by reporters, but it's actually quite common. During the 2007/2008 presidential primary debates, for example, it was common for the Democratic candidates to be asked only one question about health care reform: How you gonna pay for it? (The Republicans, meanwhile, were not typically asked how they would pay for their tax cuts. In one debate, MSNBC's Chris Matthews even encouraged the GOPers to propose more tax cuts, rather challenging them to explain how they'd pay for any of it.)
And this kind of thing isn't limited to health care coverage. Last March, President Obama unveiled a budget outline that cut taxes for the vast majority of Americans, while raising them on those who make more than $200,000 a year. And, as I explained at the time, much of the media focused like a laser on the tax increases, all but ignoring the cuts:
The [Washington Post] article was chock-full of details about the tax hikes, referring to "nearly $1 trillion in new taxes over the next decade on the nation's highest earners ... $318 billion in new taxes on families in the highest income brackets, who would see new limits on the value of the tax breaks from itemized deductions. ... That proposal is a fraction of the new taxes Obama proposes to heap on the nation's highest earners. ... Hedge fund managers would take an even bigger hit. ... Oil and gas companies would be asked to pay an extra $31 billion over the next 10 years ... Corporations that operate overseas could expect to pay $210 billion more over the next 10 years."
By my count, at least 484 of the article's 1,284 words were about the tax increases in Obama's proposal. Among those 484 words was this quote from House GOP leader John Boehner: "The era of big government is back, and Democrats are asking you to pay for it." That simply isn't true, unless you make more than $200,000 a year -- though the Post simply presented Boehner's claim without rebuttal.
And how did the Post address the tax cuts in Obama's plan? The article devoted just 39 words to them. Among other omissions, the Post completely ignored the fact that the plan makes permanent the Bush tax cuts for the vast majority of Americans.
And by the following Monday, tax cuts had disappeared entirely from the Post's reporting. Under the headline "Aides Defend President's Budget; White House and Fiscal Conservatives Set for Showdown," the Post reported Obama's budget would be "raising taxes on top income earners and oil and gas companies" and again quoted a Republican criticizing the tax increases. But there wasn't so much as a hint that most Americans would see their tax bills go down.
The New York Times' coverage of Obama's proposal was little better -- and cable news was often even worse.
Here's one indication of how hysterical the media went over potential tax increases for very few Americans: both The New York Times and ABC News rushed to produce reports about wealthy taxpayers purportedly seeking to reduce their incomes to avoid paying the higher tax rates. The ABC article in particular was deeply flawed, prompting widespread condemnation that led to an editor's note and re-write that improved things -- if only a little.
The conservative framing reporters are detecting in Wall Street Journal articles lately is certainly not limited to news outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch. It's quite common across the board, and is a key piece of evidence that the "liberal media" is no such thing.
P.S.: Look back at those examples of complaints from WSJ reporters: "global warming skeptics have gotten a steady ride." That's pretty clearly true of the Washington Post (among others), too.
From Bret Stephens' December 8 Wall Street Journal column:
[T]he really interesting question is less about the facts than it is about the psychology. Last week, I suggested that funding flows had much to do with climate alarmism. But deeper things are at work as well.
One of those things, I suspect, is what I would call the totalitarian impulse. This is not to say that global warming true believers are closet Stalinists. But their intellectual methods are instructively similar. Consider:
[...]• Monocausalism: For the anti-Semite, the problems of the world can invariably be ascribed to the Jews; for the Communist, to the capitalists. And as the list above suggests, global warming has become the fill-in-the-blank explanation for whatever happens to be the problem.
Huffington Post's Danny Shea writes:
The Wall Street Journal has scrubbed an article from its website after learning that it was plagiarized from several sources.
"A Nov. 10 "New Global Indian" online column by New York City freelance writer Mona Sarika has been found to contain information that was plagiarized from several publications, including the Washington Post, Little India, India Today and San Francisco magazine," a notice to readers now reads where the column once lived.
"In the column, 'Homeward Bound,' about H-1B visa holders returning to India, Ms. Sarika also re-used direct quotes from other publications, without attribution, and changed the original speakers' names to individuals who appear to be fabricated," the notice continued. "The column is the only work by Ms. Sarika to be published by the Journal, and it has been removed from the Journal's Web sites."
The original article — near 1,200 words — described Sarika as "a graduate student and freelance writer who hails from India and currently lives in New York City."
Now if News Corps could just get a handle on Fox News' penchant for doctoring of video, we'd have some real progress.
The Wall Street Journal's Gerald Seib has a piece about Sen. Joe Lieberman's opposition to the public option that serves as a clear reminder of why politicians lie: they know they won't get called on it.
Seib writes:
Mr. Lieberman also notes that the public option wasn't a big feature of past health-overhaul plans or the campaign debate of 2008.
Well, no. Mr. Lieberman doesn't "note" that. Mr. Lieberman lies about that.
Lieberman claims that "if you look at the campaign last year, presidential, you can't find a mention of public option...It was added after the election." In fact, the Obama-Biden campaign health care plan included a public option, and the New York Times reported as far back as May 2007 that "Mr. Obama would create a public plan for individuals who cannot obtain group coverage through their employers or the existing government programs." And when it is pointed out to Lieberman that his claims are incorrect, he reiterates them.
Seib, continuing directly:
So he says he finds it odd that it now has become a central demand -- which it has, he suspects, because some Democrats wanted a full-bore, single-payer, government-run health plan, and were offered a public option as a consolation.
But it isn't "odd" at all -- because Lieberman is lying when he says the public option wasn't part of the discussion until post-election. Seib completely gives him a free pass on those lies. Worse, he presents Lieberman's lies as the truth.
What happens when reporters present politicians' lies as truth? They encourage politicians to lie. That's pretty obvious, isn't it? Gerald Seib and the Wall Street Journal are encouraging Joe Lieberman to lie about health care.
Seib also quotes Lieberman's claims that he opposes a public option for fear of increasing the debt -- and, no, Seib does not bother pointing out that CBO says health care reform containing a public option will reduce the deficit.
It's important to keep in mind that Seib's entire piece is about Lieberman's opposition to health care reform. This isn't a case in which a reporter inserts a quick paragraph about Lieberman into a larger health care article without fact-checking his statements. That would be bad enough. But this is so much worse: an entire piece dedicated to Lieberman's opposition that presents Lieberman's false claims as truth, and neglects to mention that the CBO contradicts his claims.
In a November 24 Wall Street Journal column, News Corp. vice president William McGurn wrote of the Senate health care reform bill: "Conservatives and Republicans rattle off any number of objections to the bill: It would bust the budget; it would force many families to replace private coverage with government; it would subsidize abortion; it would ration care, etc. These are all variations on the major argument: It's not going to work."
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, former Bush official Karl Rove criticized the "degree" to which the Obama administration has released "news on contentious issues late on Friday," adding that "such tactics ... can look disingenuous if they undercut public debate on substantive policy changes"; later on Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade cited Rove's column and asserted that the administration's use of this tactic means it did not have to "confront the questioners." In fact, the Bush administration made numerous substantial and often controversial announcements on Fridays, including news about the Abu Ghraib scandal and a report related to the Pentagon's military analyst program.
In a November 19 editorial, The Wall Street Journal falsely claimed that recent task force recommendations for breast cancer screenings advises doctors to "cut off all screening in woman over 75" in order to fearmonger that the recommendations are a form of government rationing of care to the elderly -- that "grandma is probably going to die anyway, so why waste the money?" In fact, the task force made no recommendation related to women older than 75, stating that "the current evidence is insufficient to assess the additional benefits and harms of screening mammography in women 75 years or older."
A November 13 Wall Street Journal op-ed claimed that loans made "under the pressure of" the Community Reinvestment Act helped to "fuel the greatest housing bubble our nation has ever seen." The claim that affordable housing initiatives were responsible for the housing crisis is a widely discredited myth.
In arguing against the pursuit of global warming policies, Bjorn Lomborg wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that "[c]utting carbon emissions will likely increase water scarcity, because global warming is expected to increase average rainfall levels around the world." In fact, Lomborg's argument ignores that while scientists predict that climate change may increase precipitation globally, they believe some areas will experience more flooding because of the rainfall, whereas others will be disproportionately affected by drought.
He failed miserably with MySpace.
He launched the right-wing TheFoxNation.com claiming it was "time to say 'no' to biased media and 'yes' to fair play and free speech." Quit laughing.
He may be interested in buying Twitter.com.
He paid big bucks to settle hacking lawsuits.
Now, Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corp the parent company of Fox News, is apparently readying himself for war with Google.
The Guardian reports:
Rupert Murdoch says he will remove stories from Google's search index as a way to encourage people to pay for content online.
In recent months, Murdoch his lieutenants have stepped up their war of words with Google, accusing it of "kleptomania" and acting as a "parasite" for including News Corp content in its Google News pages. But asked why News Corp executives had not chosen to simply remove their websites entirely from Google's search indexes – a simple technical operation – Murdoch said just such a move was on the cards.
"I think we will, but that's when we start charging," he said. "We have it already with the Wall Street Journal. We have a wall, but it's not right to the ceiling. You can get, usually, the first paragraph from any story - but if you're not a paying subscriber to WSJ.com all you get is a paragraph and a subscription form."
The 78-year-old mogul's assertion, however, is not actually correct: users who click through to screened WSJ.com articles from Google searches are usually offered the full text of the story without any subscription block. It is only users who find their way to the story through the Wall Street Journal's website who are told they must subscribe before they can read further.
Murdoch's attitude towards the internet - which appeared to have thawed when he bought social networking site MySpace for $580m in 2005 - has stiffened more recently.
Additionally, it emerged that MySpace, which has struggled in the face of competition from Facebook in recent years, was due to fall short of its targets in a lucrative search deal with Google – a slip that could cost the site more than $100m in payments from the internet advertising giant.
Actually, it might not be that bad if Murdoch pulls News Corp content off of Google. Think of the millions of people that would be inoculated from his... ummm "fair and balance" approach to journalism.
UPDATE: Google has responded. This Telegraph headline says it all: "Google: Rupert Murdoch Can Block Us If He Wants To."
In a November 7 Wall Street Journal op-ed, serial health care misinformer Betsy McCaughey purported to provide "details you need to know" about the current version of health care reform legislation slated for a vote that same day in the House of Representatives. As with her previous descriptions of reform legislation, many of her claims are falsehoods or distortions, such as McCaughey's claim that illegal immigrants are exempted from a fine imposed by the bill.
An op-ed in The Wall Street Journal falsely claimed that a poll conducted by conservative pollster Kellyanne Conway for the right-wing Independent Women's Forum (IWF) found that two-thirds of women are "less likely to back candidates who support government care." In fact, the poll asked whether respondents would be "more likely or less likely to support a candidate for Congress knowing he or she favored moving people from their private healthcare plans to government-run healthcare plans" [emphasis added].

Mumbai - Pakistan's jailed pace bowler Mohammad Asif has lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) against a ban imposed on him by the International Cricket Council (ICC) anti-corruption tribunal last year.
The ICC tribunal imposed minimum five-year bans on Asif and his team-mates Salman Butt and Mohammad Amir for their involvement in spot-fixing during the fourth Test against England at Lord's in August 2010.
A spokesman for Asif's law firm, SJS Solicitors, said an appeal had been filed.
"I can confirm that to you fully. It's a very substantial appeal. The documentation has been sent not only to the CAS, it's been sent to the ICC and to the Pakistan Cricket Board," he said by telephone on Saturday.
"These legal representations are highly professional and very serious."
An ICC spokesperson said the world governing body was not aware of the appeal.
The Pakistan trio were also found guilty of spot-fixing charges by the Southwark crown court in London last year and given prison sentences.
Asif had engaged the legal firm after his conviction by the crown court.
Asif, 29, who played 23 Tests and 38 one-day internationals, was handed a 12-month sentence for his part in bowling deliberate no-balls during the Lord's Test.
