Climate in Court
Global warming goes indoors. Also: Superman's wayward ways. Benedict Arnold times. Lay in state. Still Judging Coulter. Plus much more.
Re: Iain Murray's Taking a Molecule to Court:
I suppose it was only a matter of time before the entire Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) issue ended up in the courts. And why should it not? Everything else does, eventually. Way back in 1988, in the midst of severe drought, Dr. Hansen of NASA issued an article about AGW. Global Warming was here, he declared. Human activity, namely in the form of Greenhouse Gases (CO2, Methane), was the cause. Later that summer the news magazine followed up with articles. Two years later, Al Gore published his The Earth in Balance. From that point on, AGW became more of an advocacy issue, and not a scientific one. As the Soviet Empire imploded, and pure Marxism suddenly died a short violent death, environmental issues became all the rage. Before you knew it, manufacturing toilets that flushed more than 2 gallons of water became a federal offence; destroying the habitat of the Snail darter could land a property owner in a prison cell with Bubba. Forest rangers in Montana and California began to take orders not from their respective bosses, but from Federal Judges. Saving the Earth became a full time vocation for everyone from elementary school teachers to UN officials. However, from a PR standpoint, the Movement lacked certain credibility. It was very top heavy in lawyers, spin artists, protesters, aging hippies, movie stars, and busybodies. What the movement really needed was the Imprimatur of Science.
In 1998 they got it. Doctors Mann, Bradley and Hughes published a series of papers known as MBH98 (the famous Hockey Stick temperature graph). The UN's IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) gave MBH98 its stamp of approval without auditing the actual papers. It took Einstein eleven years to get his idea on relativity peer reviewed and proven. Mann's data was approved immediately. Mann's Hockey Stick graph took on an almost religious symbolism. The earth was not only warming fast, but it's warming was catastrophic. The warming was not natural, but anthropogenic. Humans were destroying Gaia. Something must be done! Kyoto is what must be done! Here is where science and public policy mesh. According to most (even the President now admits AGW is serious), the "science is settled." Everyone today is getting into the act. Not a day passes without an archeologist, paleontologist, botanist, geologist, or economist rendering a "study" about AGW. The summer of 2005 was the warmest summer since the Ice Age. AGW caused the east coast floods. AGW caused the bitterly cold winter in Eastern Europe. A recent poll even asked people how AGW affected their lives. Hysteria induced by groupthink reigns.
Of course the science is not settled. The June NAS Report artfully said MBH98 was correct, but the scientists used flawed methods and questionable data sets. By artful, I mean the committee said the science was wrong, but the results were correct. Also, the NAS Report casually reinserted the Little Ice Age (LIA) and Medieval Warm Period (MWP) back into the approved lexicon of climate studies -- something Mann and others rejected. Congress last year asked the NAS (National Academy of Sciences) to review MBH98 for its accuracy. There were still a few people in Congress who wished to get a second opinion before consigning the U.S. economy to the ash heap of history. The almost knee jerk acceptance of MBH98 by the IPCC alarmed not just some in Congress, but also those involved in the field of research. Two Canadians, Steve McIntyre and Ross McKitrick, began to audit the findings of MBH98 themselves. From the beginning they began to find problems with the study. McIntyre published these findings in Nature magazine, and thus began the firestorms that eventually lead to congressional hearings and the NAS Report. McIntyre's findings are very technical -- they mainly deal with statistical methodologies, the accuracy of the Southwest Bristle Cone proxy, etc. The NAS Report recognized McIntyre's findings, but in the end, the committee stood by the conclusions of MBH98 with certain caveats. The science may not be settled in their eyes, but the conclusions are. MBH98 findings are still correct -- to a certain degree. Maybe.
All of this may be a moot. Too many people have too much invested in AGW to let science steer the issue. Government bureaucrats, career government scientists, UN officials, former Marxists, Earthfirsters, as well as reputations of many who climbed on MBH98 bandwagon early on, cannot allow the slow pace of scientific research to stand in their way. Lawyers and judges may settle the policy questions with no regard for the science. Even the EPA, a regulatory agency, says they cannot regulate CO2, because Congress never gave them the legal means to do so. Besides, CO2 is vital for carbon based organisms (namely plants, animals, and humans). To say CO2 is a pollutant, and to regulate it as such is absurd. The EPA's mandate is to regulate harmful pollutants. What many people are asking the EPA to do is to classify CO2 as a pollutant. Only Congress can do this -- this they refuse to do. But that shouldn't stop the activists, as everyone knows, Congress doesn't write laws anymore -- the courts do. One can only hope, there are five members of the SCOTUS who will write an opinion that reflects constitutional law, and not advocacy.
I can't believe you published the following paragraph from "Taking a Molecule to Court.". The paragraph states the global warming theory as though it were accepted fact. It is not! Scientists have not "connected the warming trend to the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere." Only contorted versions of climate computer models have done that and then only in part. Other parts of the same models have simply proven themselves wrong.
You should either publish a retraction or qualification of that paragraph. As stated, it is outrageous.
"The modern global economy is powered by hydrocarbons -- oil, natural gas and coal. Burning these fuels releases the energy we need to light our homes, heat and cool our offices, and get us from place to place. But the process also releases a byproduct called carbon dioxide (CO2). We have known for well over a century that, all other things being equal, more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will warm the atmosphere as it absorbs energy up to a certain point. In recent years, with the atmosphere warming since the 1970s, scientists have connected the warming trend to the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is the phenomenon of global warming."

Re: Patrick Hynes's Democrats of Little Faith:
Another trend seen among Democrat strategerists (Bush word) are these "quorums" or "seminars" they have in order to "construct a message" to reach certain groups of voters. Focus-group based outreach attempting to; "have the cake and eat it too" of which today's Democrat party is so fond of campaigning on.
Today's Democrats are focused on soft messages of "it's all O.K" and "we'll work it out after the election" that are aimed at not offending everyone. It ends up looking like an ill-planned camp-out where someone's getting shorted on S'mores and the counselor won't give up theirs either.
Look, its 2006, and it's been 2 stinkin' years since the last election and Democrats still haven't told us what the plan is. Heck, they don't know what the plan is! Republicans are scared of these guys?!

Re: Carol Platt Liebau's Swallowing the Kryptonite:
As I was checking out your website, thinking of subscribing, I came upon the article by Carol Liebau on the new Superman film. The fact that the "American Way" was but a relative small offense. The fact that Superman, hero to millions, had sex out of wedlock, produced a bastard child, then left that child and mother with a live-in boyfriend who thinks the kid is his... Now that is seriously disturbing! Unfortunately, not to America... Bad enough that Christopher Reeve noted the color of Lois's panties in his first Superman film... What new worlds will our hero explore next chapter?
-- Ron
Although I would have liked to seen "truth, justice and the American way" in the Superman movie, I think Ms. Liebau's reaction to its absence is completely overboard. For one, that phrase was not used with the original Superman, but only appeared during the Second World War, after which it was dropped for several years. More importantly, what is surprising about this Hollywood film is that it goes against modern liberal sensibilities. Superman is analogous to Jesus Christ; Lois Lane declares that "the world doesn't need a savior, and neither do I." This is exactly what many intellectuals in Hollywood and elsewhere believe, but Superman softly retorts her statement, telling her that he hears people's cries for help all the time. Those watching the movie hear Superman's father, Jor-El tell him that human beings can be and want to be great, but they .".only lack the light to show them the way. For this reason above all -- their capacity for good -- I have sent them you, my only son." This parallels words from the Gospel of John (8:12, 3:16). Superman also suffers, dies (in a crucifixion pose) and is resurrected. It is a powerful parable. No, Superman in this movie is not quintessentially American, but neither is Jesus Christ! Contrary to Ms. Liebau's assertion, the movie tells us that we in fact DO need a savior, and few can question which savior exactly this movie points to.

Re: Andrew Cline's If the Times covered the American Revolution:
The New York Times provides ample fodder for historical parody. I have read many amusing, and thought provoking, articles that re-write historical events in the manner that the Times writes them now. However there is one parody that is yet to be written -- Benedict Arnold. Arnold's life and actions should be reviewed, not just for parody but also as a simile for all those who scream "don't you question my patriotism":
1. Arnold was a serving military officer and wounded war hero. Imagine what the modern Democrats and the MSM would do with such a human shield (hat tip to Ann Coulter for exposing this practice).
2. Arnold was "Disaffected due to grievances with the Continental Congress and the military, suffering from mounting personal debt, and facing corruption charges …" which makes him an ideal whistle blower and informer to work in the State Department.
3. He was also "… an embittered man, resentful toward Congress for not approving his wartime expenses and bypassing him for promotion." Our very own Deep Throat.
4. Despite all his public and personal problems (including charges for corruption) these problems would be suitably ignored by the MSM (he is, after all, one of us. Joe Wilson may be a proven liar but that is not as important as Rush being caught with Viagra).
5. Despite his blatant treachery he had the nerve to insist that his actions were patriotic - "love to my country actuates my present conduct, however it may appear inconsistent to the world, who very seldom judge right of any man's actions."
6. The first Benedict Arnold had to flee the colonies to live in England. Our modern Benedict Arnolds stay here to continue their patriotic duty of dissent.
The sad fact of the matter is that Arnold was no worse than many of our fellow citizens (or comrades as they prefer to call themselves). In a time where people had more commonsense than "nuance", his name became a byword for treason and treachery. Today he would be doing the talk show circuit and having his picture in Vanity Fair.

(all items in quotes taken from Wikipedia)
I found Mr. Cline's satirical article a real hoot. Once again, it proves the axiom that the best comedy MUST contain at least a kernel of truth to be truly funny. The funniest part, however, is that our current President, George Bush, doesn't seem to care what the NY Times publishes. Just a matter of a couple of days after the NY and LA Times published the "secret" program to track terrorist money transfers, George Bush rewarded the reporters with an invitation to a splendid state dinner in the White House, a lovely evening for themselves and their spouses.
Well I guess, if our Commander in Chief is not concerned about the national security leaks, we shouldn't be either.

Let's start with the quote "We should convict Lay in a court of law, as indeed we have, but it is unseemly to keep heaping scorn unto his casket."
Now why the heck would anybody want to do that? A lot of lefties, who attempted to tie Enron to the Bush administration are as upset with Ken Lay's passing as they were when they were cut off from the last few episodes of ABC TV's failed White House drama; "Commander in Chief."
So many things in life are unfair to them and these lefties shout the loudest when they are denied this thing called "closure." Such little children disappointed that the TV gets turned off at bedtime.
-- P. Aaron Jones
Huntington Woods, Michigan
The article "Ken Lay, RIPped" by Jay D. Homnick blindly assumes Kenneth Lay is dead.
I know it sounds far-fetched, but what if Ken Lay is not really dead? What if his "death" was staged?
If you had millions socked away in one or more foreign bank accounts that could make it easy to live in lavish seclusion and the ability to clear your name from just having been convicted of being responsible for one of the worst corporate implosions and scandals in U.S. history, might you not exercise this ultimate "get out of jail free" card?
I'm from Missouri on Ken Lay's reported death. I want to see incontrovertible proof he's dead -- not just reports of a coroner's report. And I think all the media should want this same proof, before laying the memory of that human leech to rest.
-- J. Phebert
I agree that Ken Lay did originally build a legitimate company. It was a fine mid-sized pipeline operator that made a nice profit and generated real cash flow. However, it did not just go south. Unlike Warren Buffett, Ken Lay was not content to run a boring but profitable business. Instead, he stood watch as Enron grew its apparent revenue based on mark-to-market accounting, floated his Potemkin village on a sea of debt and hid it all behind a cosmic array of flim-flammery. At best, he was a vain fool that failed to exercise reasonable care to protect the investment of the thousands of employees and investors that helped make his wealth and power possible. At worst, he was a criminal that actively lied to the world when he had a legal obligation to reveal the truth. In the final analysis, he was probably part fool and part crook. That certainly does not earn him my sympathy. It does make his death noteworthy. Finally, as the author accurately points out, it absolutely does not justify some of the hateful ways he has been discussed since dying.

Re: The Prowler's What the New York Times Has Wrought:
Perhaps the Prowler should get back to his DOJ sources, because Atty. Gen. Gonzales and his boss, George Bush, don't seem to be in any hurry to do anything effective to stop the publishing of these national security leaks, nor to uncover the leakers and put them in jail. More than enough time has elapsed since the outing of the rendition prisons program to have convened a grand jury and brought the reporter before them to reveal their sources. More than enough time has elapsed since the outing of the NSA communication intercept program to have convened a grand jury and brought the reporter before them to reveal their sources.
Government actions and inactions both teach lessons. In this instance the lesson has been learned very well by the media. The lesson is that George Bush is not serious about stopping the leaks and the outing of national security programs in this time of war. Even a very young child quickly learns that, if there are no adverse consequences to his/her bad behavior, then the child might as well keep misbehaving.

Re: Lawrence Henry's Numbers:

In computer-ese, a "host" is a computer. An "Internet host" is a computer that's connected to the Internet.
Deep in the bowels of Windows, (at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc, if you're curious) is a file called "hosts." At the dawn of the Internet, before the DNS system (big computer databases that resolve names like staples.com to IP addresses), every computer just had a "hosts" file, of which this is a vestige. If a computer you wanted to connect to wasn't in the hosts file, you couldn't connect. Back in 1969 there were something like 30 entries in the hosts file!

Re: Paul Dorell's Letter (under "Good Soldiers") in Reader Mail's Desert Leave:
Paul Dorell makes the ridiculous statement that al Qaeda had few ties to Iraq. This most likely comes from the 9/11 Commission statement that they found no connection between Iraq and the attacks on 9/11 or a United Nations report (would anyone seriously quote something from the UN?). There were and are plenty of ties between al Qaeda and Iraq listed in the 9/11 Commission Report and many found since we invaded Iraq. Paul clearly has problems with logic. I am not reassured that our intelligence agencies or the bureaucracy protecting 9/11 Commission found no ties (9/11 and Iraq) since folks like Paul have seen to a pretty much emasculated and politicized CIA. Even now Paul and his fellow travelers try to undermine every effort to "connect the dots." Given the sorry state of intelligence it is reasonable to attack countries like Iraq that have a long history of terrorism and support of terrorism. Paul seems to think that there was hardly a terrorist problem prior to President Bush. I am worried that he has suffered some severe beatings while lecturing his VFW betters and has forgotten even recent history. Just because he just noticed doesn't mean it didn't exist. Paul should check out the 1990s for a start. The planning for 9/11 started in this period and there were plenty of attacks including one at the World Trade Center. During this period Iraqi's traveled to Sudan and held bomb-making classes with al Qaeda personnel. Somebody more curious than Paul might wonder how these bombs were used. Is this the period he wishes we could return? Doing nothing in the face of this threat is not a low risk option. It has been tried and failed.

For your benefit, Mr. Dorell, I grew up in Scarsdale, NY. My millionaire father was from Winnetka, IL (you know where that is, don't you?). Your pissant liberal attitude is oh-so-familiar. I ran into it every day growing up among the country club communists I hung out with. The reality is that people like you and them haven't got a clue about the life you denigrate. Fact is, I could easily afford to be at Ben's club and would greatly enjoy watching fireworks with him. But I thank the Lord every day that I've served 23 years in the Navy and got to know a better class of people than the privileged class I grew up with. I also thank God that the Navy cured me (at much personal expense) of much of the intellectual smugness I had acquired in my youth. Somehow I doubt you will ever be as fortunate.

Re: Robert Seidenberg's Gay Behavior vs. Public Health:
This issue is just one of many proverbial "elephant(s) in the room." There are many elephants in the room on this issue. The gay movement has in its sights to completely normalize their degenerate behavior and they believe nothing must stand in their way. Not even the health and welfare of a nation. Not only does our culture fail to understand and state the health risks and stand up to these bullies, we also refuse to look a the sexual
behaviors for their own merit. They are generally disgusting and down right nauseating (read any gay sexuality book), let alone dangerous. Politically, the gay movement intends to shove this issue down our throats -- those who don't bend to their will be labeled homophobes or worse. And to that end, the courts will back them up.

Re: Ben Stein's How Was Your Weekend?:
I want to say that I have great respect for, and have used with good reward, your advice on finance and investing. For your generous gift of wisdom alone, I am grateful.
Recently, in your 7/6/2006 entry, you wrote:
"In the meantime, how can it be that the Supreme Court is worried about the rights of Osama bin Laden's driver in court, but no one is raising a finger about the rights of Marines who offer their lives to fight for us and then get held in leg irons when there is an accusation against them? How can this be?"
It can be, because of human rights.
Under the recently created doctrine of "human rights," every human has the same rights. No matter if you are an Arab, a white American, a suspected terrorist or a suspected torturer. No matter your actual (war) crime or your suspected (war) crime, "human rights" assumes innocence until proven guilty, and takes serious accusations seriously.
From reading this short essay, it would seem that you love your friends, but only hate your enemies. I agree that Jews are a strange people, but, I think, also a great people. Many of my favorite people are Jews. My favorite Jew, in fact, is Jesus Christ. He said, "If you love only your brothers, what have you gained? Even the heathen will do that much."
The Islamic terrorists love their brothers, and hate their enemies, too. If we can do no better than them, then maybe we do not deserve to win this Iraq war. We need to look to the ideal:
"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."
Only by treating our enemies as we would like to be treated can we win the culture war with Islam, and truly prove whose is the superior culture.

Re: Andrew Crawford's letter (under "'Fact Check'") in Reader Mail's You Can Go Home Again and R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'sThe Kerry Brigade:
Andrew Crawford's anecdotal musings about a couple of John Kerry's fellow Vietnam veterans is not an excuse to slander those that have a different view.
Only an agenda by Mr. Crawford paints his admittedly taken accounts from a website he called a "non-partisan organization (a sure sign of declaration of a very partisan one)" as his reason to post.
He then continues with his broad brush to paint the good folks at Free Republic as right-wing idiots all while using another DNC tactic of making sure he tut-tuts those "idiotic posting from left-wing blog commentators." It's a taught mechanism on how to be portrayed as "independent" before viciously attacking those on the right. Sort of like those seminar callers you hear on Rush or Hannity's radio shows.
As an early member of Free Republic (I was #1244 to sign on in 1998 before what we know as the internet was still nothing but bulletin boards on Compuserve and Prodigy) I can wholeheartedly say the vast majority are not idiots or right-wing. They are conservatives that are active in their politics.
I've met many of them and know many others online and they are the most decent Americans one would ever meet. Sure, there are some extreme individuals as they exist in any large group. But to portray all in such a manner is nothing more than an attack by a hack that is working for the DNC to get their talking points (lies) into the arena.
Stating, "I could not care less about Kerry's presidential prospects. As a candidate for 2008, he doesn't rank in the top ten contenders in my opinion..." is nothing but another learned tactic to make some readers actually believe his lies. Face it Mr. Crawford, if you truly believed that tripe you wouldn't have cut and pasted the same tired BS I've seen about Rassman every time the Swift Boat Veterans come up.

Coulter went over the line -- the same way abortion prevention activists use full color photos of fetuses blown up many times original size to tell their side of a very biased story. It is also how these women are dealing with a full out attack by a vicious attack dog on the right -- somehow when a group's tactics are used against them they whine about it and twist the meaning.
Of course it is nothing new -- it is just that uncivil discourse had consequences in the time of Burr and Hamilton -- now it just makes money for both sides but especially a bottom feeder like Coulter.

Battle of Maida en
The Battle of Maida on 4 July 1806 was a battle between the British expeditionary force and a First French Empire division outside the town of Maida in Calabria, Italy during the Napoleonic Wars. John Stuart led 5,200 British troops to victory over about 6,000 French soldiers under Jean Reynier, inflicting significant losses while incurring relatively few casualties. Maida is located in the toe of Italy, about 30 kilometres west of Catanzaro. In early 1806, the French invaded and overran the Kingdom of Naples, forcing King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies and his government to flee to Sicily. The Calabrians revolted against their new conquerors and Stuart's expeditionary force tried to exploit the unrest by raiding the coast. While ashore, the British encountered Reynier's division and the two sides engaged in battle. The 19th-century historians presented the action as a typical fight between French columns and British lines. This view of the battle has been called into doubt by at least one modern historian who argued that the French deployed into lines. Nobody questions the result which was a one-sided British tactical victory. [ - ]

Features, Flower Meanings and Ellen PageJournal Entry: Sat Feb 15, 2014, 2:30 PM
I'll be writing a more interesting journal entry soon, but for now, have some filler!
Firstly, just a little update. I'm going be finally completing my Disney Mucha Princess series within the next few months! I'm also going to be redesigning a few of the ones I'm unhappy with. Once they're all done, I'll be selling complete print packs in my Etsy store, as well as gift bags! More on that later.
A lot of people asked me where I get the flower meanings I use in my princess series from. This website has pretty much every flower and their respective meaning you could ever want! So there ya have it.
I also urge you all to go and watch Ellen Page's inspiring, honest and moving speech about sexuality and homophobia. It very nearly had me crying at the end of it. We need more people like Miss Page to represent an often misunderstood and downtrodden part of our society. This video is very much worth eight minutes of your life.
And finally, here is a mini feature for artists that I absolutely adore but don't often get the attention they deserve. Have a nice day
Thank you for including me in this illustrious list of talent! You have excellent taste.
Wonderful immages
I think , in very high position .
OLIVER YOUNG -Radu Jelescu
eagerly awaiting the rest of your disney mucha princesses!
i watched the ellen page video the day it was released and it had me in tears. i admire her so much and hearing her make that speech meant a lot to me (and to a lot of people who are lgbtq or supporting the lgbtq community).
Thanks for the feature, lovely selections too.
Cool! Just one question: Will you be keeping the original designs on dA or not?
So much awesome arts! Thank you for sharing this. Expecting the princessess now!
Just watched Ellen Page's speech.. I cried.
Oh yes, I'm super excited about you finishing your princesses!!!

It's not perfect, but so far, probably my best.

Here is a summary of Day 2 at the Emerging Leaders Institute (ELI) on Friday, Sept. 16, 2011.
Annette Atkins, professor of history at Saint John's University and the College of Saint Benedict in Collegeville, spoke on Minnesota history. In her presentation "Minnesota: a historical perspective," Atkins made history quite interesting and alive, instead of just presenting data and facts. Atkins authored three books, one of them is Creating Minnesota: A History From the Inside Out (Minnesota Historical Society Press, 2007).
Tom Gillaspy has served as the Minnesota State Demographer in the Minnesota Department of Administration since 1979. He presented on "Demographic change and Minnesota state government." According to Gillaspy, Minnesota has been very successful in economic and population growth. Minnesota has one of the lowest poverty rate in the nation, and has higher income and higher home ownership. Minnesotans are highly educated.
Two past legislators, Dean Johnson and Margaret Anderson Kelliher, talked about leadership from their own experiences.
Dean Johnson is a former member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, and a former member, majority leader and minority leader of the Minnesota Senate. He is the only Minnesota Senator to have led both caucuses in that chamber, and one of only two to serve as both Minority and Majority Leader. He is an ordained minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and also a member of the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota.
Margaret Anderson Kelliher is a former member of the Minnesota House of Representatives. She served as the Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives from 2007-2011. She was the DFL-endorsed candidate in the 2010 gubernatorial election, the first woman to earn major-party endorsement for a gubernatorial election in Minnesota.
Bill Landherr, Enterprise Learning & Development Manager at Minnesota Management & Budget, gave an overview of the 360 degree feedback assessment. Each ELI participant will do the assessment sometime in October.

Smallscreen comedic actor Tommy Smothers took Penn Jillette to task for appearing on Glenn Beck.s TV show. In the Crackle network of webisodes, "Penn Says" is a regular platform for engaging comedian and performer Penn Jillette to discuss whatever is on his mind. Smothers, described as a childhood hero by Penn, was apparently livid with him, and screamed at him for being "wrong" and "evil" about appearing on the conservative Glenn Beck show. Jillette defended his decision to apear on Beck, and other talk shows where he and the host don't see eye to eye on key issues.

Meet the man who turned some of Fox News Channel's biggest fans into its harshest critics.
When on-air analyst Marc Lamont Hill was fired by Rupert Murdoch himself last Friday, the news was probably overshadowed by the all-out war being fought by the cable news channel and the White House. But when the CEO of News Corp. publicly pink-slips a guy at a shareholders meeting in response to a question from an activist shareholder, it's worth noting.
The question came from Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media, which together with another conservative-leaning media watchdog, David Horowitz, had called on Fox News repeatedly from their respective blogs in recent weeks to dump Hill. Ordinarily, these men were ardent supporters of Fox News, but Hill's amply documented roots in radical leftist politics were too much for them to take.
Nevertheless, their insistence on Hill's ouster underscores a naivete »

I've had these thoughts for some time, but have been reluctant to express them. Now so many others have voiced them that it's pointless to remain silent. I am frightened by the climate of insane anti-Obama hatred in this country. I'm not referring to traditional conservatives or Republicans. They're part of the process. I'm speaking of the lunatic fringe, the frothers, the extremist rabble who are sweeping up the ignorant and credulous into a bewildering and fearsome tide of reckless rhetoric.
There have always been nuts. Remember when the John Birch society thought Kennedy was a communist? In those innocent days most of the American people were reasonable. They'd shake their heads in wonder at such a weird notion. Kennedy might be one of those liberals, but he wasn't a commie. And when people said Johnson murdered Kennedy? Also ridiculous. But slowly, ominously, things began to change. After his death, »

Whatever you think of Michael Moore -- whether you love him, hate him, or (like me) believe that he's an ingeniously captivating big-picture muckraker who can truly be great when he sticks to reality (which he often does), but is anything but great when he proves overly willing to bend it -- few would deny that he's the most prominent, incendiary, and headline-grabbing, the most influential feature documentary filmmaker of our time.

Bill O'Reilly has been brought low by the same process that afflicted Jerry Springer. Once respected journalists, they sold their souls for higher ratings, and follow their siren song. Springer is honest about it: "I'm going to Hell for what I do, and I know it," he's likes to say. O'Reilly insists he is dealing only with the truth. When his guests disagree with him, he shouts at them, calls them liars, talks over them, and behaves like a schoolyard bully.
I am not interested in discussing O'Reilly's politics here. That would open a hornet's nest. I am more concerned about the danger he and others like him represent to a civil and peaceful society. He sets a harmful example of acceptable public behavior. He has been an influence on the most worrying trend in the field of news: The polarization of opinion, the elevation of emotional temperature, the predictability »

Fox News is on track to have its most-watched year ever, showing significant ratings growth despite having just come off a highflying election year.
With the second quarter coming to a close, Fox News averaged about the same number of viewers as the top three other cable news networks combined. And while rivals including CNN (-22%) and MSNBC (-18%) took hits following last quarter's inauguration-fueled boost, Fox News (-3%) remained nearly steady.
Compared with last year, the Fox News (averaging 2.1 million viewers, 509,000 adults 25-54 quarter-to-date) is up 35% over last year in primetime viewers and 48% in the demo. CNN (805,000 viewers, 210,000 in demo) fell 16% in viewers and 29% in the demo. MSNBC (787,000 viewers, 259,000 in demo) climbed 15% in viewers and about on par, -3%, in the demo. And CNN Headline News (553,000, 201,000) showed very strong growth, up 39% and 37%, respectively, and is on track for its best second quarter.

Best.Gay.Week.Ever? I don't think so. First, there was that Amazon.com kerfuffle where the online merchant began treating almost all books dealing with gay subject matter (even purely academic ones) as adult content — excluding many very worthy titles from their sales rankings system and standard searches.
One sad result? When you type in "homosexuality" as a search on Amazon, the results are skewed dramatically toward crap like this:
(Here's my bit of unsolicited advice to Amazon shoppers who might be interested in A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality: "Do everyone a favor and don't have kids!")
So what's going on here? On the surface, it sure looked like Amazon had adopted some sort of conservative policy to effectively bury positive gay representation on their site.
But then company spokespersons variously blamed it on a computer "glitch," and a "ham-fisted cataloging error" and made assurances they were working on a fix. »

Easter Nest Torte Recipe
3.5 12
In this delectable dessert, a luscious cake layer nestles rich mousse and chocolate "twigs." —Taste of Home Test Kitchen
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup baking cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1-1/4 cups 2% milk
- 3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 7 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 20 to 30 small candy Easter eggs
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
- Spread into a greased 9-in. springform pan. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen. Remove sides and bottom of pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- From a large sheet of waxed paper, cut a 29-in. x 5-in. strip. Fold strip lengthwise in half. Place strip on a large sheet of waxed paper on a work surface. Spread melted chocolate evenly along one long edge of waxed paper strip; spread upward, making a wavy line to within 1/2 in. of other long edge. Let stand for 10-30 minutes until chocolate begins to set but is still pliable.
- Carefully lift waxed paper strip and wrap chocolate strip around cake with straight edge on the bottom. Do not remove waxed paper. Refrigerate until chilled. Meanwhile, cover three baking sheets with waxed paper. Drizzle remaining melted chocolate from a spatula over waxed paper in both directions. Chill for 10 minutes. Peel off waxed paper; break chocolate into 2-in. to 3-in. "twigs;" set aside.
- For filling, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Stir in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until slightly thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand for 1 minute. Stir into custard until gelatin is dissolved. Add chopped chocolate; stir until smooth. Cover surface with plastic wrap; cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form; fold into chocolate mixture. Carefully spoon over top of cake. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set. Remove waxed paper strip from side of cake. Position chocolate "twigs" around top of cake to create a nest. Arrange candy eggs in center. Yield: 12-14 servings.

Hi Ladies,
I have been using a white noise machine for my daughter since she was a few months old. It really seemed to help her sleep better. Now that she is a little over one, we have decided to try to wean her of it. My husband looked something up on the internet about the long term effects of white noise machines and how it interferes with infant brain development and now he is all freaked out. Our daughter is meeting every mile stone and is soaking things up like a sponge, so I am not as worried. However; it would be nice to not have her dependant on it. Are any of you other mommies using a sound machine and what may be some ideas to help break this habit?
Thanks in advance!

- If they did it once, the law of averages most likely would favor them doing it a second time.
- Above all, though, first round day is when the law of averages is more likely to favour lower pedigree opposition maintaining the FA Cup's shock factor.

NEC will offer a new line of portable projectors in February and March 2003. The VT460 (1,500 ANSI lumen, SVGA), VT560 (1,300 ANSI lumens, XGA), and VT660 (1,700 ANSI lumens, XGA) feature automatic keystone correction, direct access keys for one-touch source adjustments and a new focal lens for more flexibility.

THE SKILLFUL playwright arranges any sequence of lines devoted to the expression of a single emotion or thought in such a way that the least important or consequential part of the thought is stated first and each following sentence is an extension or an amplification of the thought, with the most important sentence placed at the end of the sequence. In the Bassanio-Shylock scene, for example, the amount of money and the duration of the loan are of less importance to the plot and the character relationships than is the fact that Antonio is to be bound, which is presented as the third of the three conditions. In the Juliet- Nurse scene quoted in Chapter 4, only the stranger who would not dance, the subject of Juliet's final question, has any significance in the story.
Just as the author has taken infinite pains to arrange the dialogue in such a way that it constantly seems to be moving toward a climax, so the actor must constantly speak the lines in such a way that they always seem to be moving forward, to be advancing the plot or amplifying the characterizations. That which follows must always be made to seem more important and more interesting than that which has preceded. Theater audiences are intolerant of any lessening of interest or any sense of retrogression. Even an attempt to maintain the same level of interest will not satisfy an audience. A play that does not seem to be moving forward will tend to bore an audience almost as much as it would if it were moving backwards.
Actually, the dialogue of a play does not and cannot move constantly forward and upward in an unbroken line. What happens is that a thought is introduced and developed to its own climax and then a new thought is introduced, which must begin immediately to move toward its climax. Possibly there will be a drop in interest after the climax of the first thought, but this will not worry an audience, or even be apparent, provided the next thought is immediately introduced and the development toward a new climax immediately begun.

The internet is a great enabler of choice, helping us to make decisions about our everyday lives. Oceans of information – to inform, educate and share – are available at our fingertips, wherever, however and whenever. Many of us lap up new fast-moving technology and enjoy the opportunities it brings. However, for some it is bewildering and confusing.

Enhanced Transparency and Consumer Control in Online Behavioural Advertising
New advertising techniques – such as online behavioural advertising – require the trust and confidence of consumers, industry, regulators and policy-makers to be successful. Our digital economy depends on it. In March 2009, IAB UK launched its Good Practice Principles aimed at providing notice, choice and education for consumers. The Principles were complemented by a website where consumers could find out more about behavoural advertising, how privacy is protected and – if they wanted to – to turn it off. This week sees the launch of a pan-European initiative – building on the Good Practice Principles – aimed at enhancing transparency and consumer control for this technique.

Keeping safe and social
week the IAB hosted an event on 'How to be safe and social' to explore
how brands and consumers are protected when engaging in social media. This
follows research from the IAB and ISBA that found that only 55% of UK
brands currently have a social media policy with many also cautious about
the perceived lack of control they face when using social and embarking upon
real-time conversations with consumers. Read more on Keeping safe and social…
Five things to look out for in digital media public policy in 2011
2011 will see our ever-growing appetite for all things digital continue to change and evolve the marketing landscape. As technology keeps pace to meet consumer demand, so the spotlight continues to shine brightly on regulatory and public policy issues, notably privacy. On one front 2011 will be a year of 'delivery'. But – as ever with this sector – the New Year will introduce further challenges to digital advertising business models.

Good for the consumer, good for business: why it is right to extend digital media self-regulation
Earlier this week the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) announced its intention to extend its self-regulatory digital media remit from 1 March 2011. This will cover business' own marketing communications on their own websites as well as in other non paid-for space under an advertiser's control, such as social networking sites. All paid-for digital advertising, such as PPC search, display and (commercial) classified, is already covered by robust rules to protect consumers and promote trust within the sector.

Five facts about online behavioural or interest-based advertising
Here are five facts about online behavioural or interest based advertising:
Advertising helps fund a wide range of the content, services and applications online (often overlooked or not understood by policy makers and / or regulators). For example: search engines, helping us to navigate and explore a world of information online (and all at the click of a button), are advertising funded. Customised advertising (for example behavioural or interest based display advertising) seeks to make this more relevant to our interests, helping us to find what we are looking for.
People prefer this – particularly if it gives them the content and services they want at little or no cost. IAB research found that over half the online UK population would prefer to see more relevant online advertising and an even higher proportion would prefer this if it allows them to enjoy this for little or no cost.
The advertiser (or its contracted partner) does not know who you are or where you live. Interest based advertising is non-identifiable. If information collected is used with data that can identify you (eg registration data) the user is informed as required by strict data protection law. Good practice requires the provider to make the user aware of any data collection and use for this purpose and also make available ways for users to control this.
There is no commercially live business in the UK practising behavioural or interest based advertising via (what is known as) deep packet inspection techniques. The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) recently concluded that "in the case of behavioural advertising based on deep packet inspection techniques…the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) considers that active opt-in is required to indicate consent".
You can also tailor privacy (and other) preferences via the web browser used to access the internet. Here are some helpful user tips.

"It is proportionate to focus on improving and supporting self-regulation"
So concluded the Office of Fair Trading's market study into online targeted advertising and prices, published on 25 May. The 87 page report set out the OFT's views on targeted advertising, including behavioural advertising, after a six month consultation with business, industry bodies (such as the IAB), consumer groups and other regulators, such as data protection authority, the Information Commissioner's Office, and communications regulator Ofcom. The IAB welcomed the market study and there was a fair amount of balanced national media coverage such as in the Independent and the Guardian.

Broader industry support needed for behavioural advertising
Last week departing New Media Age (NMA) journalist Susie Bearn issued a 'call to action' for more players within the digital media sector to sign up to the IAB's Good Practice Principles on behavioural advertising to give the initiative even greater credibility.

Why digital advertisers should welcome the extended self-regulatory rules

Why a tax on online advertising makes no sense
There has been a fair amount of recent media coverage and comment about a report – "Creativity and Internet" – commissioned by the French Culture Minister which includes a proposal to levy the online advertising revenues of the likes of Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft and AOL. The aim of the levy is to raise money for the French creative industry.� Whilst it's not clear as to whether the French Government will seriously consider this proposal (although President Sarkozy has welcomed the report), Google has already publicly opposed the idea stating that it could "slow down innovation" and that it is "disproportionate."

Thanks for those kind words.
Yes, the two stars are far enough apart that each might have its own set of planets. If life existed on planets of each star it could be readily detected by the other. This would very likely be an incentive to explore these planets.
The distance is substantial, but far less than the usual distance between stars. Imagine what we would do, if we had solid evidence of life, and perhaps another civilization in space, only 1/12 or so of a light year distant!
