Tilda Swinton: 'David Bowie is like my cousin'
British actress Tilda Swinton has grown so close to David Bowie since he hired her for a video project she now thinks of him as family.
The "Michael Clayton" star was shocked to receive a phone call from the reclusive music legend last year asking her to appear as his onscreen wife in his promo for "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)," the second single from his comeback album "The Next Day."
Swinton has revealed they kept in touch after completing the video shoot and she now thinks of Bowie as one of her closest confidantes.
She tells Thedailybeast.com, "The moment happens when the phone rings and it's someone who calls themself David Bowie, and you never stop pinching yourself. It was the easiest thing in the world. … I've had a wonderful ride with meeting people who have been my north stars, and Bowie's definitely one of them. He feels like my cousin; like the cousin I never had. … He's always felt like a cousin."
David Bowie: 'Lorde is like listening to tomorrow'
Rock legend David Bowie has shown his support for teen artist Lorde, hailing her as the future of music.
The 17-year-old New Zealander has been lauded by critics and pop fans alike since she was catapulted to fame last year following the release of her hit song "Royals."
And Lorde reveals she received the seal of approval by rock royalty Bowie following a recent meeting with the reclusive Brit.
In an interview with Rookie magazine, she recalls, "Meeting David Bowie was like seeing my life come full circle. To have someone like that tell you
that listening to you felt like listening to tomorrow.
"I was like… I could creatively die and just be happy forever. I never tell anyone about that experience, because it meant so much to me, and I feel like it would be dulled or something if I always talked about it in magazines or whatever. It's my special thing."
David Bowie's controversial new video back on YouTube
Update: The video has since been restored to the video-sharing website with an adults-only rating, and now a YouTube spokesperson admits they were wrong to take it down in the first place.
The representative tells Billboard.com, "With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call. When it's brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it."
Original post: David Bowie has sparked controversy with the video for new single "The Next Day" – YouTube.com has banned the religious-themed promo.
Marion Cotillard and Gary Oldman star in the new clip, which features a Christ-like Bowie performing at a bar in front of a collection of figures from the Christian faith, including a Cardinal dishing out cash to dancing girls.
Cotillard's prostitute character transforms into a saint after stigmata on her hands gush blood over a topless nun, while another scene features a monk practicing self-flagellation.
The video hit the web on Wednesday, but has already been pulled by YouTube bosses as it violates the site's terms of service, according to Billboard.com.
The promo was directed by "The Runaways" filmmaker Floria Sigismundi.
Warning: Video contains NSFW images.
David Bowie recruits Tilda Swinton for new music video
David Bowie has recruited Hollywood actress Tilda Swinton to play his onscreen wife in his new music video.
The music superstar returned to the spotlight in January with the surprise release of his single "Where Are We Now?" and he confirmed the song would be followed by an album, "The Next Day," in March.
He has now released the video for the album's second single "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)," and it features a surprise turn from the Oscar-winning actress, who is seen playing a 1950s-style housewife and even sharing a kiss with the star on screen.
The video's release comes as Bowie has won over notoriously tough music critics with "The Next Day," his first album since 2003's "Reality," with reviewers branding the record "thought-provoking," "intellectually stimulating" and "filled with great songs."
"The Next Day" is released in the U.S. in March 1.
Fans have been encouraged to visit Bowie's official website to design a personal and unique cover for the album using their own photographs.
Slash caught his mom naked with David Bowie
Former Gun 'N Roses star Slash's mom once dated rocker David Bowie.
Costume designer Ola Hudson, who lost her battle with lung cancer in 2009, was frequently hired to create looks for famous musicians, including John Lennon, Ringo Starr and Bowie.
And now Slash has revealed his mother's professional relationship with Bowie turned romantic – and when he was a young boy, he walked in on the couple naked.
He tells Australian radio station Triple M, "My mom started working professionally with David Bowie at first. I'm pretty sure that's how it started and then it turned into some sort of mysterious romance that went on for a while after that. I was 7 or 8 years old. (Bowie) was always over and they were always together.
"I caught them naked once. They had a lot of stuff going on, but my perspective at 8 was limited. Looking back on it, I knew exactly what was going on."
David Bowie kept his wild ways hidden from young son
Singer David Bowie ensured his son wasn't exposed to his wild ways when he was growing up – Duncan Jones only found out about his father's excesses when he read newspaper reports years later.
The rocker is famed for his drug use during his heyday, once admitting, "I'd stay up for weeks. Even people like Keith Richards were floored by it… I was hallucinating 24 hours a day."
But Bowie made sure Jones, who was born Zowie Bowie in 1971, did not witness his crazy antics.
The moviemaker tells Britain's The Times, "I was massively kept away from that kind of thing. I found out about it when I was older and found it very difficult to separate the dad I remember growing up with to the man in the papers."
And Jones was unfazed by tabloid tales about his father's bisexuality, adding, "I didn't know about that either till I was older and I never really cared when I understood what it meant. I remember him having the most gorgeous girlfriends. If it's true, I don't care."
Bowie Used Witchcraft To Beat Cocaine Paranoia
A white witch helped cure David Bowie of his crippling drug-fuelled paranoia, according to a revealing new book about the rock star.
Writer Mark Spitz spent years talking to Bowie, as well as the rocker's family and friends, in a bid to explode myths about the "Let's Dance" legend in his new tome, "Bowie."
And Spitz reveals how the rocker called on magic to help him get through a terrifying part of his life.
In the book, Spitz writes, "While planning the follow-up to 'Young Americans' (album), Bowie would sit in the house with a pile of high-quality cocaine atop the glass coffee table, a sketch pad and a stack of books. 'Psychic Self Defense' was his favorite. Its author describes the book as a 'safeguard for protecting yourself against paranormal malevolence.'
"Using this and more arcane books on witchcraft, white magic and its malevolent counterpart, black magic, as rough guides to his own rapidly fragmenting psyche, Bowie began drawing protective pentagrams on every surface."
Bowie told the author, "I'd stay up for weeks. Even people like Keith Richards were floored by it. And there were pieces of me all over the floor. I paid with the worst manic depression of my life. My psyche went through the roof, it just fractured into pieces. I was hallucinating 24 hours a day."
Spitz adds, "Increasingly Bowie was convinced there were witches after his semen. They were intent on using it to make a child to sacrifice to the devil, essentially the plot to Roman Polanski's 1968 supernatural classic 'Rosemary's Baby'."
A friend hooked Bowie up with New York-based white witch Walli Elmlark.
The author adds, "Elmlark quickly and successfully exorcised the pool. Angie (Bowie), who was living there at the time, noted that it started to bubble and smoke, and that it only rained outside David's window while the rest of the L.A. sky was clear. Elmlark wrote a series of spells and incantations out for Bowie as he continued to wrestle with the forces of darkness."
Bowie's Mismatched Eyes Were The Result Of A Love Rivalry
David Bowie has opened up about his mismatched eyes, explaining how a childhood accident left him looking odd and feeling "embarrassed".
The reclusive rocker agreed to talk candidly to writer Mark Spitz for his new biography, "Bowie," and revealed the real story behind his famous eyes.
He says, "When I was 14 I fell in love with a girl. I was crazy about her. Only trouble was, my best mate had a bit of a soft spot for her too, but I was the winner. I moved in before he'd even made up his mind about how to approach her. Next day I was at school boasting to my mate about what a Casanova I was and he became terribly annoyed. In fact he threw a punch at me.
"It caught me in the eye and I stumbled against a wall and onto my knees. At first he thought I was kidding. It wasn't a very hard punch but obviously caught me at a rather odd angle."
Spitz tracked down the love rival who threw the punch, George Underwood, who told the author, "He knew damn well why I did it. We both wanted to go out with her and I was lucky enough to get a date.
"On the day of the date David rang me up and said that she had to cancel. So I didn't go but he had made up the whole story. The girl stood around for over an hour waiting for me as I discovered later. It was a bastard thing to do and I was furious with him, so it developed into a fight between us. And during the punch-up I caught his eye with a fingernail."
Bowie was hospitalized and doctors noticed the sphincter muscles of his left eye were badly torn, preventing the pupil from dilating or contracting. Doctors managed to save his eye, but explained the cosmetic aspects of the condition would be permanent.
The rocker, then David Jones, adds, "For quite a while I was very embarrassed about it. Although I could see very well out of the eye, it made me self-conscious."
Bowie To Bring Back Stardust?
AP Photo/Peter Kramer
Rocker David Bowie is reportedly in talks to bring back his legendary Ziggy Stardust persona for a one-off appearance at a music festival.
Bowie, who is currently back in the studio recording a new album, is said to be in talks with the organizers of this year's Coachella event in California over a special headline performance.
The hitmaker has been asked to perform his 1972 glam album, "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars," in its entirety for the three-day gig in April.
A source tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "Coachella tried to book Bowie last year and he refused, so they got Prince to headline instead. But there's a very strong chance they will be able to persuade him this year."
Bowie — who has been in semi-retirement since a minor heart scare in 2004 — killed off his theatrical rock star persona in 1973, claiming the character hindered his creativity.

I would now like to turn the presentation over to your host for today, Mr. Michael Mitchell. Please proceed.
Michael Mitchell
Thank you, Stacy and good morning everyone. Thank you for joining us to review The Medicines Company second quarter and first half, 2010 financial results.

Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes", "anticipates", "plans", "expects", "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

I'll now turn the call over to Clive Meanwell, our Chairman and CEO. Clive.
Clive Meanwell
Thank you, Michael. We aimed to be leaders in acute and intensive care medicine worldwide and during the second quarter we made progress towards that goal. To time leadership we must deliver innovative products that create value for customers in leading market share in 2650 leading hospitals in the 25 countries in market segment we choose to compete in, and we must demonstrate high levels of productivity both in terms of knowledge and financial measures to enable sustainable growth.
When we reported our first quarter results on April the 28, I focused on three main themes for our business operations update. First a continued revenue growth based on demand for Angiomax and Angiox worldwide; second, moving forward our focus portfolios to six compounds in acute and intensive care medicine; and third improving the efficiency of our business as to say doing more with less,
Today reporting results for the second quarter and first heal of 2010, I'll return to these themes. Hospitals worldwide continued their strong demand for Angiomax and Angiox. Second quarter net revenues of $110 million were our highest quality net revenues today. Net revenue for the first half year was $212 million.
In the United States net revenues for the second quarter were $104.1 million, up 9% for the first quarter and even up 6% from this time last year when customers bought in anticipation of a price increase. Today our prices are on aggregate a little lower that last year as reported during our first quarter call, but we more that made up for that with increased volume and sale.
We enjoyed one small increase demand from our operating unites in Europe, where volume and net sales increase by 55% and 45% respectively compared to the same quarter last year. Italy, France, Scandinavia, Benelux and the United Kingdome posed strong growth. Germany grew more modestly.
For the first half of the year revenue gains in our operating unite were 59% in volume and 58% in sales, the difference being accounted for by foreign exchange and price changes.
Our partner for Spain, Portugal and Greece group over there also posted strong growth with 164% increase to next revenue for the first half of the year. Overall despite modestly lower sales in Canada, Angiomax and Angiox international next revenue increased to $5.8 million for the quarter and to $11.4 million for the first half year, up 48% versus last year at this time.
While our international revenues are at present, still a modest portion of our worldwide sales, the demand growth rates show we are gaining traction and we look forward to continue growth in these markets, where Angiomax and Angiox already have assured exclusively until 2015.
The underlined value to our customers and to there patients is the key to increased demand. More and more PCI patients have been given Angiomax because of date and experience showing improvements in mortality leading and costs relative to alternative treatments. The major first quarter publication of comparative effectiveness data by Jeremy Rassen and his colleagues
Angiomax, because of data and experience showing improvements in mortality, bleeding and costs relative to alternative treatments.
The major first quarter publication of comparative effectiveness data by Jeremy Rassen and his colleagues [Marvid] in the European Heart Journal, which showed lower mortality, bleeding and length of stay with Angiomax, was followed in the second quarter by the publication of yet more real world comparative effectiveness data in JAMA by Dr. Steven Marso and colleagues from the Mid America Heart Institute.

The roads between SR and PP and PP and Sihanoukville are in good condition, if you want to do this route in one day then the Mekong Express bus sells tickets for both legs of the journey for $16 (I may be out by a few dollars but it is definately $10 from SR to PP and I'm not exactly sure from PP to Sihanoukville); you have the option of leaving SR to PP at 7.00am or 7.30am and the bus to Sihanoukville leaves PP at 2.00pm. You will arrive in Sihanoukville at about 6.00pm (dropped in the town centre from where it will be easy to get a motodop - tuk tuks are not common in Sihanoukville - to wherever you want to go).
If you didn't mind doing this over a few days then you can take any bus from SR to PP and then arrange your bus to Sihanoukville once in PP.
Leaving Sihanoukville, if you are heading North, then yes, you will travel back to PP, at least in transit.
Have fun

Now you can also fly from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville, late afternoon flight, takes under an hour and obviously means you don't have to go via Phnom Penh.

Red Dragon and Capitol Tour also have buses between PP and SR costing $5 for barang/foreigners ($3.5 for locals). The trip takes about 5-6 hours. From PP to Sihanoukville it should only cost about $3-4 for barang...

Hi, just back from Cambodia. We used Phnom Penh Sorya Bus Company (located near Sorya market, where you can find absolutely everything you could possible need!). Nice buses with A/C. Same prices for locals and foreigners.
SR - PP: $4 (5-6hrs)
PP - Sihanoukville: $4 (3-4hrs)

If you are traveling in a group of 3 or 4 you might consider using a taxi at least for the PP to Snookyville. In February the trip in a nice AC taxi cost only $30. Stop when you want play the music you want, stretch out, etc...

Hi, has anyone done the reverse of this journey by Overnight/Day bus... Sihanoukville to Siem Reap? We want to know how long the journey is before we get to Cambodia as we might end up staying a little longer in Vietnam.
Any advice would be great!

There are several (Mekong express, Sorya, GST, Virak Buntham are the bigger companies) they leave (early) morning and most do a stopover/busswitch in Phnom Penh. I believe Virak Buntham does the overnight bus as well which, obviously, leaves in the evening.
Just ask any hotel or travel agent in Sihanoukville and they will sort you out the day before you leave.

Has anyone hired a taxi to go from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville? We are a family of four, with two young kids. I'd rather get a private taxi to take us. Flying is probably the best option. But you guys have me freaked out about the flights. So, again, taxi from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville?

I haven't done it myself but pretty sure that most taxis would do the trip. Price is probably somewhere between $120 - $200. Price depends on type of car and whether the taxi fancies his chances of "loading" his taxi for the journey back.
Best to seek out a taxi yourself while you're in SR. If you fly into SR there is a taxi desk and use one of those to get to your hotel. Chat with the driver and they are all looking for extra business, whether it's Angkor temples or trip to Sihanoukville. Most guesthouses and hotels will charge a commission of the taxi if you book through them and that would drive the price up.
Better to first experience the driver yourself beforehand anyway. Especially for such a long trip.
Alternatively you could take a taxi from SR to PP and then switch to bus to Sihanoukville. That last stretch is a lot shorter.

Are there really flights from Sihanoukville to Siam Reap happening now?
I've heard that it is proposed for the future,however its not supposed to happen until December or Janruary 2012.

That story keeps returning every now and then but keep in mind that they have been saying that for 3 years now. It could be that it's happening this time but personally, living in Cambodia, I don't attach too much value to such articles until I actually see a plane. It will happen one day though.
At the moment it's only "charters" doing that route and I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Thanks eastwest....
Checked out things a little further online and see that PMT airlines was doing some flights until they had a fatal crash.
As far a I can find, they have suspended service and are no longer doing the route.
If things get rolling in the New Year....great! Other than that....yes....I won't be holding my breath.
Other than that.....
We once road a night bus from Kuala Lumper to a little town in Northern Malaysia across from Lankawi island.....super comfortable bus, good driver....it was an OK experience.
A night bus from Sihanoukville to Siam Reap might be a different ball game?

I've never taken the bus on that route at night but know that there are some excellent comfortable buses in Cambodia. Most of the time it's hit and miss. In general the buses are fine but for such a long trip you want a super-comfortable bus. I had one a few weeks ago when I went from SR to PP (Sorya company with private business-class type seats) during the day but couldn't tell you how to make sure you get one of those.

Just curious.... does the night bus still go through Phnom Penh or if it goes a different route?
I'm assuming its the same route just without a bus transfer?

Deja Vu all over again: Former elected officials back on ballot
EUGENE, Ore. - Three races on the November ballot feature candidates who served in the same office and left it years ago. | More Campaign 2010 News
STATE SENATE: Lee Beyer of Springfield spent 10 years in the Oregon legislature, including the state Senate. Democrat Sen. Bill Morrisette retired from Senate District 6, and Beyer stepped back into the race against Republican Michael Spasaro and Independent Scott Reynolds.
COUNTY COMMISSION: Jerry Rust was a Lane County Commissioner for 20 years before leaving the office 13 years ago. He faces Jay Bozievich in the West Lane race.
GOVERNOR: John Kitzhaber served two terms as Oregon's governor. By law, he could not run for a third consecutive term. But after eight years of the Ted Kulongoski administration, Kitzhaber beat former Secretary of State Bill Bradbury for his party's nomination. The Republicans nominated former TrailBlazer basketball player Chris Dudley.
KVAL News asked the "deja vu" candidates why they're running again for the same position they held years ago. Watch KVAL News at 5, 6 and 11 on Monday, Oct. 11.

Jennifer Fry has described her debut novel, A Part to Play, as a contemporary re-imagining of The Phantom of the Opera. For fans of this famous tragedy, this is excellent news. For everyone else (myself included), take heart. The Phantom of the Opera connection means, of course, that there is a romance with a troubled musician, but there are other issues too as you'll discover later in my review. For now, I'll also confess that A Part to Play was so well-written that I found it difficult to pinpoint what aspects to feature as part of my review.

Crafted by a St. Paul-based former barista who, ironically, couldn't have had much use for a wallet, these clever pocket products are the result of experimentation with myriad colors and "leather swatches", which shows you just how versatile those kitschy Swiss timepieces really are. Spend/stash your cash on/in:
Mustache: Securing the closure of eight cards & folded bills via a robust metal snap, this model's slimness is offset by the thickness of its white mustache, making it the most effective way to put Sam Elliott in your back pocket short of letting him dance with your girlfriend in a late-night diner.
Antlers: This bi-fold has one large pocket for cash and two for credit cards or IDs, though the thing's covered in giant white antlers, so people will already be able to identify you as "awesome".
Woodgrain: With a white woodgrain pattern embroidered on chocolate brown cowhide, this tri-fold closes up "nice and slim", or what Tom Hanks calls "pretty much what I was going for in Cast Away".
Not in the wallet market? Alright, you smug holder of cash 'n plastic: Moto also slings leather iPad sleeves, as well as an array of holders for business cards -- though if you're getting those made for your coffee career, it's probably too little too latte.

Phronima - Monsters in Barrels
Female phronima recycle parts of salps or jellies, building barrels to raise their progeny.
Like the common hermit crab, the female phronima is a squatter. This small, translucent crustacean does not occupy an existing shell. Instead, it makes a barrel-shaped dwelling from parts of gelatinous planktonic organisms.
Different species of phronima specialize in capturing siphonophores, salps, and jellyfish. Using sharp claws phronima cuts and eats its prey and recycles the gelatinous parts, cutting and assembling panels to fashion its own transparent barrel.
As it grows, the phronima builds bigger and bigger barrels. It clings to its house with clawed arms, swimming and feeding with bristle-covered posterior legs.
Unlike most crustaceans the female phronima takes great care of her progeny. She lays eggs, protects the embryos, and feeds her larvae inside the barrel. Phronima, in turn, are an important link in the food chain. Barrel and all, phronima are a real treat for fish.

Mild days in February provide Kansas City homeowners with a chance to get the jump on spring over seeding projects.
Grass seed varieties sown now have a ten week head start on the weed and insect season, which begins in earnest in mid-May. Bugs and weeds prefer hot weather. Insect eggs hatch, weed seeds sprout, thicken and spread as soil and air temperatures rise.
Thin areas and bare spots will show up quickly as the rest of the lawn begins to turn green in March. Dead crabgrass and foxtail form brown patches and bare spots in the otherwise green turf. Heavily shaded areas look particularly forlorn and muddy. New construction around patios and driveways, as well as larger open areas are barren and in danger of erosion. All these areas need prompt attention if they are to be seeded and well-established before hot summer weather arrives.
Many Kansas City lawns are hybrid forms of bluegrass and fine leaf rye grass. These grass varieties prefer cool soil and air temperatures. During cold winter months their root systems continue to grow. As spring comes, these deep root systems help the grass thicken and send up new plants. Early spring fertilizer helps fill in bare spots before air temperatures increase and weeds become aggressive.
Varieties such as Stadium Special, Green Love, and Apple do particularly well in this region. These hybrids sprout quickly in cold soil and are able to survive hot summer weather. Bare spots may be raked and top dressed with PrimeraFC seed dressing or Canadian Sphagnum peat. Bu, if soil is too or weather does not permit, these seed varieties may be sown directly over the lawn without raking or sown over a light snow cover. The seed Itself is large and has a food reserve that allows the grass plant to sprout and survive without ideal soil contact.
Dormant seeded bluegrass requires more time to sprout than fine leaf rye. Dormant seeding exposes the seed to natural freezing and thawing cycle of early spring. This swelling and drying helps crack the outer shell of the seed. When soil temperatures become warm enough the bluegrass plant is ready to sprout. Seed sown in this fashion will come up two to three weeks sooner than bluegrass which is not sown until warm weather arrives.
Common bluegrass varieties should be avoided especially in the spring. Bluegrass hybrids such as Sapphire Blue, Raven, Bluemaster, or Rubicon will develop more quickly and are better able to survive summer heat. Turf-type fescue does not like cold weather. Fescue lawns often stay a muddy brown even after their bluegrass neighbors have started to show a bright spring green up.
It is recommended that dormant seeded fescue mixes such as Macho Mix grass seed include 5 percent fine leaf rye. Turf fescue seeded in this fashion sprouts one to two weeks sooner than fescue held until warm weather before sowing.
The biggest enemy of dormant seeded fescue is Brown Patch disease that comes in May and June. New seedlings are more susceptible to Brown Patch than older more mature grass plants. Turf-type tall fescues such as Cochise4, Falcon 4, and Scorpion 2 show resistance to Brown Patch. Granular Fungus Fighter may also be applied in mid-May to help young plants through this critical period.
A Golf Course Starter fertilizer applied to the new seed in March will help the seed mature more quickly. An April application of Tupersan or Siduron will help prevent crabgrass and foxtail in newly seeded areas as the grass plants mature. Broadleaf dandelion kills should be avoided until the new seed has been mowed two times.
The basic rule is simple. Homeowners who put on a sweater today and get their spring lawn projects started now will be months ahead of their neighbors who wait for short sleeve weather.

When it comes to selecting shrubbery that smells good, it's hard to beat the scent of a lilac bush. They don't all have a strong fragrance, but those that do can perfume an entire house.
Unfortunately, the blooming season is only a couple of weeks long. It varies between midspring to early summer, depending on the species.

|Back to Home > Content > Interviews > So What Do You Do, Melissa Harris-Perry, MSNBC Host and Tulane University Professor?
That and she hosts an eponymous cable TV show that confronts those little conversational topics like race, gender and politics with aplomb and just a twinge of unapologetic controversy, highlighted in the open letter she wrote to WaPo columnist George Will about his criticism of Americans' racial empathies for President Obama. Here, the Tulane University professor and author of Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes, and Black Women in America -- who pens a column of the same name for The Nation -- talks the upcoming election and the one "presidential" issue she wants thrown off the table for good.
One way to think of it is undecided voters are probably mostly going to support an incumbent so, when I say they're going to support President Obama, it isn't because he's President Obama per se. I just mean that incumbents tend to get those voters. But the real question is: Is this election sufficiently interesting, and are barriers too high for them to end up in the electorate? The only undecided voters that the candidates care about are the ones that live in swing states, and there's no way that those voters don't have sufficient information to show up for one candidate or the other.
|"I have never once had someone from this network come to me and have a conversation about ratings, good or bad."
Having a show with your name on it makes you a brand. Who decides the direction of the show, and how do you balance the network's desire for ratings with your own vision?
I have never once had someone from this network come to me and have a conversation about ratings, good or bad. No one. Maybe they're talking to my executive producer, and that's completely possible. But none of them have ever walked in here and said, "You know what? You cannot do that because of the ratings" or "Please do that more because of the ratings." I will say that I have been completely clear, to the point of being fanatical, that my staff is not to share with me ratings information. I don't ever want to know because, for me, the point of doing this show is not about the ratings. But I can tell when it's not been a good weekend just by looking at the staff the next week. It's kind of like after President Obama had that bad showing in the debates, like you just know that nobody was walking around happy in [Obama campaign quarters] OFA 2012. So, I can kind of tell if I had a week that wasn't great because people are kind of down but, if I had a week that's great, people are in there bouncing around.
The editorial decisions for this show, even with my name on it, are made collectively between me, the senior producer, the executive producer and the segment producers. I have veto power and I have been known to veto whole ideas, but I've also given my segment producers a great deal of latitude because I trust them. They're smart, they're capable, they have great vision. Sometimes what we've done has fallen flat -- I don't know if it's fallen flat in terms of ratings but I'll come off like, 'I don't want to talk about that topic again' -- and other times I'll come off the set feeling like 'this is the whole reason I'm doing this show.'
As MSNBC continues a progressive shift in its programming, do you hear from news viewers who pine for the days of unbiased news? How do you think cable networks' moving away from the "objective" center has affected the political process?
I not only sometimes hear viewers' angst about wanting journalistic reporting, I feel it myself as somebody consuming the news. I report and analyze what's going on in the news, but I also want to know what's happening in the world. For me, that angst is primarily about newspapers. I live in New Orleans, where we've lost our daily newspaper and don't have reporters on the beat in our neighborhoods. That's a story repeated over and over again across America. So, when I think about what's lost, I tend to not think about it in terms of television news, which I never particularly watched, but print journalism. If MSNBC were interested in hiring a journalist to do on-air investigative work, that would be great and I would watch that. But it wouldn't have anything to do with what I do.
|NEXT >> So What Do You Do, Roland Martin, CNN Contributor and Host of TV One's Washington Watch?
I think the biggest cost is the one that Chris Hayes talks about in his book, Twilight of the Elites, that there's an absence of one place or person or thing that if it says it, you can believe it, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, liberal or conservative. That is bad for democracy because there have to be some spaces where we can say, 'I believe that because it's reported by that person.' I talked about this last year at Christmas time. If you remember "Yes Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus," it was the editor of the paper who wrote that letter. Who could now write that letter? Not me. Not Bill O'Reilly. I mean, who could convince you if you were a little kid that there is a Santa Claus? Nobody, because there's not any one source that we all trust.
There was a clear difference between the tone and fluidity of the presidential debate under Jim Lehrer and the vice presidential debate under Martha Raddatz. Who do you think was the better of the two?
I really enjoyed the vice presidential debate for a couple of reasons. For one, my best friend had just given birth about 10 minutes beforehand. I'd just been in the delivery room with her, and she and I were watching it together in the recovery room. Beyond that, there were things that I think made this debate better. They were physically sitting at the same table, and I think there's something about that proximity, when people are sitting right next to one another, that creates a sense of engagement. But the other thing is you had the sense that both Biden and Ryan had come to play. They were prepared to be aggressive; they weren't concerned with this sort of niceness by which they were going to be judged.
Jim Lehrer offered some willingness to engage, but I think Martha Raddatz's expertise in foreign policy was as much on display as the vice presidential candidates'. I had a sense as a viewer of trusting her to direct the conversation in a substantive way. Not that Jim Lehrer's not substantive -- obviously, he's got decades of substance behind him -- but in this particular debate, he was far more removed and she was much more engaged.
|"Some of our greatest presidents have been absolute dorks, and some of our most horrible presidents have been affable, lovely, engaging human beings."
If you could take one issue off the table in this election, what would it be and why? What, in your opinion, is just white noise that's distracting from real issues?
Style. Whether or not President Obama is cool or whether Mitt Romney is likable, I really do not care. I assume that Mitt Romney's wife loves him and Barack Obama's wife loves him, and they both can probably tell a funny joke when they want to. I mean, really, who cares about style? Some of our greatest presidents have been absolute dorks, and some of our most horrible presidents have been affable, lovely, engaging human beings. That's not the business of politics.
The course you teach at Tulane, Black Women's Political Activism, is surely a catalyst for your students to get involved. What do you think is the most pressing issue facing women today, and what can they do to affect change in that area?
I teach a lot of gender-based classes. This is one of my favorites, though. For women in general, I think there are two critical issues and they are linked to one another: one is the issue of poverty, economic security and economic justice, and the other is about reproductive rights. And of course, those things are linked. You cannot have economic justice unless you have control of your reproductive capacity. It just is not possible for women. At the same time, control of your reproductive destiny doesn't matter much if you can't feed yourself or your family.

Naval Officer Scott Jarman's passenger is in a "satisfactory" condition
- From: NT News
- June 20, 2014
A DEFENCE force member is in a "satisfactory" condition following a car crash that took the life of Naval Officer Scott Jarman.
He was flown to Royal Adelaide Hospital last week following the crash and is believed to still be there.
An injured occupant of a third vehicle involved in the crash was released from Royal Darwin Hospital last week.
The crash occurred after a driver of a blue HiLux ran a red light ploughed through the busy Stuart Hwy and Woolner Rd intersection at Parap last week.
The driver of the blue HiLux was transported to hospital with serious head injuries but his current condition is unknown.

text: This is a "Rail-Trail". Took the family for a ride on Sunday. I was disappointed. The path is uneven and bumpy and the shade and mottled light makes the bumps invisible. Starting in Bedford and running East toward Lexington is a waste of time due to the many road crossings. I would suggest one starts in Lexington, and just forget about the western section to Bedford. Running East has a slight uphill grade which one doesn't realized until you come back west, then it's a nice downhill roll. This is a very shaded trail with poor visibility, so I would suggest using my flashing strobe so people can see me coming in advance and move aside. I don't plan on going back to this trail - is has lots of walkers.

Attempts by some El Paso Independent School District trustees to bring more transparency to the school board in light of the district's cheating scandal fell short Tuesday night.
Trustees Joel Barrios, David Dodge, Russell Wiggs and Patricia Hughes opposed directing district staff to post backup material on all legally permissible items not discussed in closed session, and supported delaying the discussion until the board's next meeting.
The remaining trustees -- Alfredo Borrego, Rocio Benedicto and Isela Castañon-Williams -- opposed tabling the discussion.
Much of the dissent came from some trustees not wanting to disclose information from vendors about contracts that the district competitively bids, saying that it would prevent the district from getting the best deal.
Barrios said he felt new bids should be excluded from disclosure until after the board awards a contract to be fair to vendors.
"That's what secret bidding is for, so people can't steal another person's bid," Barrios said. "It's called industrial espionage."
But other trustees said demands from the public for more transparency are of the utmost concern.
Some people, including members of Kids First! Reform EPISD!, a general-purpose political action committee, have asked the board to include more backup information about agenda items, particularly regarding approval of contracts, in light of a cheating scandal in which some students were kicked out of school or prevented from enrolling.
The district is attempting to move forward after former Superintendent Lorenzo García in June admitted to conspiring with others to cheat the federal accountability system by improperly removing some students from their appropriate testing pool.
Benedicto said regaining the public's trust is crucial. She said she wants to honor demands for more transparency.
"It's about public trust," Benedicto said. "At this point, we're not trusted very much and if this means, if somebody has to look at our checkbook because they aren't sure what we're doing with it, I can't say no to that."
Dodge incorrectly stated that the district posts backup information on all items except contracts that are competitively bid.
"Since September of 2011, we've made advances in putting huge amounts of information that before was never available," Dodge said. "Everything except purchasing of competitive bids is now available to the public."
Trustees in September 2011 voted to post backup information online, but excluded "procurement, employee, student or any information scheduled for discussion in executive session, draft minutes, draft policies, or any other situation where the board president and/or superintendent concludes that the best interest of the district would not be served by posting the backup information online prior to the board meeting."
At the time, Castañon-Williams supported excluding those items from public disclosure, but on Tuesday she said there is a need to post draft policies. "The public might as well have a look at what we're looking at," Castañon-Williams said.
The city and county governments in El Paso and El Paso Community College post procurement information before a vote is taken on a contract.
But Kenneth Parker, the district's chief business officer, said comparing the procurement processes of the county or city government to the school district's was like comparing apples to oranges.
"Most of their bidding takes place in departments," Parker said. "In those situations, vendors come in and work with department heads, whereas as the district has a centralized procurement process."
Parker said posting information on vendors and their bids would jeopardize the district's ability to get the best price.
Dodge supported posting information about a competitive contract award the day after trustees approve it and having that information be available on the trustees section of the website.
The purchasing department currently posts information on contract awards the day after the board approves them.
"Our ability to get good contracts at good prices does hinge often on a privacy," Dodge said. "If vendors understand that it's going to be public days ahead, I can see where we would no longer get preferential prices."
Ross Moore, executive vice president of the El Paso Federation of Teachers and Support Personnel, said he was disappointed with the board's decision to postpone action on disclosing further information on agenda items.
"They had a chance to re-establish trust but they failed to do so," Moore said. "They had a chance to lift this burden of darkness and the environment of secrecy and intimidation and they chose to keep it in place."
Moore said that disclosing information about contract bids before board approval would not be detrimental in most instances.
"The bids will be in submitted, reviewed and administrators will give a recommendation before the meeting," he said. "It's all done except the final vote by these guys."

In other action
- Interim Superintendent Terri Jordan in an update to the board said state monitor Judy Castleberry would have access to all executive sessions. Last week, the district's attorney Anthony Safi asked Castleberry to leave a closed school board meeting before trustees received legal advice about pending or contemplated litigation related to ongoing investigations by the FBI and the Department of Education.
- Mark Mendoza, director of Title I schools, gave an update on the district's effort to find 17 of the 77 students whom former Bowie High School counselor Patricia Scott reported having improperly altered transcripts. One student is getting help from the Job Corps; four live in districts outside the El Paso school district's boundary; four live in Mexico; three students are re-enrolling in a district high school; one has earned his GED; one is getting tutoring for the math exam on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, which is all he lacks to receive his diploma; one former student couldn't be reached because he is on vacation in California; and the district does not know the whereabouts of two students.
Trustees approved the following:
- Adoption of the 2012-13 property tax rate of $1.235 per $100 of assessed value.
- Instructing administrators to issue a request for proposals that seeks a company to handle the superintendent search.
- Proposed changes to the district's audit policy will be submitted to administrators for review and trustees will consider proposed changes at their next meeting.

BAGHDAD (AP) - With one week to go before the deadline for all U.S. combat troops to be out of Iraq, there's been a new series of bombing attacks in the capital.
Police say three people were killed and 20 others were hurt.
After the drawdown, there will be just 50,000 U.S. troops remaining in Iraq -- amid fears that Iraqi troops won't be able to handle security on their own.
Baghdad police said unknown attackers in a speeding car threw a grenade in the mixed Sunni-Shiite neighborhood of New Baghdad in the capital's east.
The blast killed one policeman and wounded another.
Late yesterday, a grenade attack on an Iraqi army checkpoint in a Sunni area in western Baghdad killed one soldier and injured 2 others. A bomb at a popular cafe in the capital's southwest killed one person and wounded 15 people.

"Fish-basket Kuan-yin on Leaf-shaped Boat," a lacquered wood figurine from the early 19th century.
If you go
What: "From Here to Eternity: Popular Female Deities in Chinese Art"
Where: Caramoor Rosen House, Girdle Ridge Road, Katonah
When: Through Dec. 18
Hours: 1-4 p.m. Wednesdays-Sundays, with the last tour starting at 3 p.m. During the 2009 International Music Festival (June 27-Aug. 5), the last Saturday tour starts at 4 p.m.
Admission: $10, children age 16 and younger are admitted free with an adult admission
Information: 914-232-5035, caramoor.org
The Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts in Katonah focuses on the feminine divine in China in "From Here to Eternity: Popular Female Deities in Chinese Art" (through Dec. 18).
It is a small but choice show, as spare and lovely as a Chinese brush painting.
Curated by Adriana Proser - the John H. Foster curator of traditional Asian art at the Asia Society in Manhattan - the exhibit also demonstrates, once again, the Caramoor Rosen House's clever use of its rich, eclectic collections.
The Rosens - financier Walter T. and his wife, the former Lucie Bigelow Dodge - created a Mediterranean-style weekend and summer home in Katonah that is a house of art history, with a Renaissance master bedroom and an 18th-century Chinese dining room.
Chinoiserie was a real passion of theirs, and the Buddhist and Taoist sculptures and figurines in the show are drawn entirely from the Rosen House's Chinese collections.
Apart from a splendidly sensuous statue of the Buddha from northern Pakistan in about the year 100, Buddhism is represented here mainly by Kuan-yin, the goddess of mercy and compassion.
She is actually a bodhisattva, a being who has transcended the unending cycle of life and death to attain nirvana but has chosen to remain in the world to help humankind. (Many Buddhists believe the present Dalai Lama is an example of a bodhisattva.)
From the 11th century on, Kuan-yin has generally been represented as a woman. So the limestone "Head of Kuan-yin" from the T'ang Dynasty (618-907) is probably male. It's a stunning, androgynous work, however, with a full face, rosebud mouth, traces of red paint and diadem set with a small image of the Buddha.
Contrast this with the decidedly more feminine full-length Kuan-yin of a later period, characterized by softer relief and a lotus motif, symbol of resurrection.
As commanding as these are, they are not as moving as the "Fish-basket Kuan-yin on Leaf-shaped Boat," a lacquered wood figurine from the early 19th century. The homespun material and the figure's modest, contemplative pose give this Kuan-yin a humility that is the essence of the goddess.
The rest of the exhibit is devoted to goddesses and female immortals of Taoism, a philosophy and religion in which the female (yin) balances the male (yang).
