FAIR Education Act Discussed in Program Honoring Harvey Milk
Though it was a sparse crowd, none-the-less the first of several events honoring Harvey Milk, last Tuesday, was exciting, informative, and meaningful.
Held at the beautiful California Museum and hosted by The Harvey Milk Foundation, Equality California (EQCA) and the California State LGBT Legislative Caucus, the event focused on a discussion of the FAIR Education Act (SB 48) as well as related issues including peer abuse which is prevalent in some of our schools.
The FAIR Education Act authored by Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) mandates all California schools to be more inclusive in teaching students about the history and accomplishments LGBT people have in American society.
Because of the questions raised by far-right extremist and faith-based political organizations the Harvey Milk Foundation thought a program dispelling rumors and untruths those organizations have made public would be helpful and a great way to honor the memory of Harvey Milk.
To open the evening Speaker of the Assembly, John A. Pérez gave a speech about the importance of the FAIR Education Act. After informing the audience of a few historical instances where LGBT people played a pivotal role in American history, he said, "By ensuring our students understand the importance, not just of Harvey Milk and the Stonewall Riots, but also the artists, business leaders, and military leaders who are LGBT who made enormous contributions to our society, ensuring that the work to build a more just society, a more perfect union continues to evolve."
Members of the panel discussing the FAIR Education Act included, Stewart Milk, nephew of Harvey and co-founder of the Harvey Milk Foundation; Sen. Mark Leno, author of the legislation that created Harvey Milk Day as well as the FAIR Education Act; Anne Kronenberg, also co-founder of the Harvey Milk Foundation, and who was depicted in the movie, MILK and served as Harvey Milk's campaign manager when he ran for San Francisco City Supervisor. Kronenberg currently serves as Director of the Department of Emergency Management for the City and County of San Francisco.
In addition, panel members included, Thomas Adams, PH.D., Director of Curriculum Frameworks and Instructional Resources for the California Department of Education; Laurie Hasenamp, Interim Director of EQCA; and Dr. Larry Levine, Professor of Law at the University of the Pacific where he teaches Sexual Orientation and the Law.
The discussion was highly informative, not only dispelling myths about what the FAIR Education Act is and does, but how it will be implemented in the schools.
Stewart Milk talked about the role The Harvey Milk Foundation is taking on education. "The only way societal change happens is through education," explained Milk.
He went on to talk about two centers named after his uncle that recently opened in Italy and how they both have educational programs that not only promote LGBT equality, but equality for all people.
Sen. Leno said the two bills, Harvey Milk Day and the FAIR Education Act are "linked due to Harvey Milk being the first openly gay man elected to a public office in California and gay hero to so many LGBT people and allies", and the fact that educating students about his accomplishments on gay and civil rights issues will allow LGBT students to identify with those like Milk and encourage them to feel good about themselves.
The rest of the program was discussing implementation if the FAIR Education Act.
Stuart Milk said about not waiting on the textbooks with LGBT inclusion, "We continue to lose young people every day because we're not teaching inclusion, we're not teaching diversity. The individuals we have lost takes a toll, not just on losing them but on our entire society. We have lost the next Steve Jobs; we've lost the next Sen. Leno, because we are not doing the job of teaching inclusion in our schools. So I don't accept that we have to wait until 2016 before the next generation of text books are out."
Dr. Adams of the State Education Office and EQCA's Laurie Hasenamp both confirmed that implementation is immediate with teachers adding it to their lesson plans while new teaching materials are being developed. While not all schools are following through with the implementation, in the coming months and year, that too will be addressed.
Harvey Milk Day events continue on his birthday, Tuesday, May 22, 2012. First, the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus will be on the west steps of the California State Capitol building at 4:00pm where they will premiere their new Harvey Milk Day Anthem: "Give 'Em Hope!". This is a free event.

During a short program, special guest, Senator Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) who sponsored the bill that created Harvey Milk Day will receive EAN's "Spirit of Harvey Milk" award. Five other community members will also receive the award.
The staff at Mulvany's will provide delicious hors d'oeuvres with a cash bar. Local popular spoken word entertainer; Jovi Radtke will perform an original piece especially for the event.

Margaret Medellin sat with her son, daughter and relatives, ready to eat brunch. She looked around in an annual gathering of mostly women, trying to figure out who would be presented with the Mother of the Year award. Then Latinas Unidas dropped the bombshell: the Mother of the Year was Medellin.
"I was totally shocked. I feel honored. It's always special when you're being honored by people who you grew up with. All your friends, people who you've known for a long time," she said.
The former councilwoman and first ever Hispanic female mayor of any city in California was bestowed with the honor for her contributions to the community and for being an exemplary mother to her four children, said Latinas Unidas president Dolores Olmos-Rodriguez.
The award was presented during the 10th annual Mother's Day tea and brunch themed "Breakfast at Tiffany's" at Peters Brothers Nursery on Saturday...

Unconventional Spring Cleaning Tips
Categories: Home Organization | Tags: cleaning, home, organization, organizing, snow white, spring cleaning
This post was written by: Grand View Builders
Each spring, homeowners catch a cleaning fever known as "Spring Cleaning." The adage has weaved its way into homeowners' yearly calendars and the great purge of dirt, dust and trash begins in homes across the country.
Spring cleaning challenges homeowners to overhaul their typical cleaning habits to find crystal clear windows, spot-free floors, organized closets and well-manicured lawns. We've gathered a few tips that may be unconventional but definitely worth doing this Spring Cleaning.
Whistle While You Work
After taking a page from our favorite cleaning Disney princess, Snow White, we found something true about whistling while you work! Plug in your headphones or blast your favorite radio station to help the time pass while scrubbing and sweeping. It will make cleaning seem less like a chore and we guarantee you'll have more fun when cleaning.
Hibernate Winter Items
Now that the flowers are blooming and birds are singing, its time for your winter items to hibernate until next winter. Heavy fabrics and throw blankets from your bedroom or living room and winter clothes, such as sweaters, coats and boots, can be put away. Fewer items in your room and closet will give you more space and will make you feel lighter.
Donate or Yard Sales
Bigger projects, such as closets or garages, can be daunting for homeowners. Many homeowners think that the trash is the only place their old, outdated or outgrown items can go. Remember that items can be donated or resold in a yard sale. Have separate bags or boxes for 'trash,' 'giveaway' or 'yard sale' while cleaning to streamline the process. Donating or selling items will help you part with possessions that may have been difficult to throw away and you will feel accomplished after tackling these larger areas of your home!
Remove Clutter
Clutter comes in all forms and the spring is the time to rid of it all, regardless where it is. Invest in a shredder and go through the mail that has been piling up and organize your desk or office. Similarly, spend time cleaning your email inbox of spam and old mail and organize your inbox. In the age of technology when our smart phones, tablets or laptops are never far from us, cleaning these items will give you a fresh start and decrease stress.
Clean Your Screens
As mentioned above, the inside of your home is not the only place that needs to be "spring cleaned." Your gadgets: computers, cell phones, tablets, video games, etc…, should all be cleaned as well. There are cleaners, such as Well Kept wipes, that safely clean your technology products of germs and dirt.
Last spring we made a list of more conventional cleaning tips for Spring Cleaning. Use both lists to help you dust the windows and let the sunlight shine in your beautiful, clean home!

Westbound Interstate 70 was closed for most of Tuesday morning from Byers to Deer Trail after a crash that left one person dead.
The crash occurred early Tuesday when the driver of a truck carrying floor care products slammed into the back of another that was hauling meat.
Helicopter pictures from the scene showed the first trailer and its cab completely destroyed by the fire, to the extent that the cab melted to the ground.
The trailer was still smoldering several hours after the crash.
There's no word on the identities of the drivers.

Smell-O-Vision made its one and only debut in the 1960 film "Scent of Mystery." Throughout the movie, the system released 30 different smells into the audience's seats. The technology was a bit gimmicky, and didn't necessarily work as expected — sometimes the smells were too faint, arrived a bit late and overall became more of a distraction than an enhancement.
French company Olf-Action is hoping to reintroduce this concept to the mainstream by debuting a new smell system at the Lisbon Design Show in Portugal this week, dvice reports.
Smellit connects to your computer and brings a "fourth dimension" to video and games by emitting smells from miniature jet turbines.
Get ready gamers, you'll soon learn what the rotting flesh of zombies smells like.

The hat that helped me appreciate Memorial Day...
by Eric Petersen
posted May 23 2014 11:15AM
As a curious (more like snoopy) child my parents found it impossible to hide anything from me, and my father's Air Force uniform was one of those things. I remember discovering his hat in their room, strategically placed on top of a large bookshelf easily 5 feet above my reach. It didn't stop me.
I pulled the hat down and plunked it onto my head. As I remember it, the brim instantly slid down over my eyes and the band covered my ears too. It was the coolest! I liked it because it looked like a policeman's cap, and it was "real", but moreover it was my dad's! I wore it constantly.
I remember that my dad, in his usual way, very gradually and methodically explained to me why I needed to take good care of his head wear. He told the story of how he had worn that hat on his WWII tour in Italy, and in Africa, and when he arrived home (at what was then the platform of the Lackawanna Station in Scranton) how he had to take it off to kiss his incredibly relieved mother and sisters.
He told me how he packed parachutes, slept in tents, dealt with unbearable heat and driving rain, and peeled potatoes all night long on a few KP duty assignments! He spoke of the grueling trip aboard an overstuffed ship, to a destination he'd never been, with a bunch of equally young men who he'd never met, and the collective fear of the unknown they all felt.
Eventually I stopped wearing the hat and instead put it on another shelf, this time in my room, and looked at it every day. It had come to represent a time I would never know, and a bravery I'd never have to muster, but above all else a time in my father's history that made him greater than I could ever imagine being. That hat and that man had traveled the world and served a great purpose, and to me it needed to be protected as a result.
Every year on Memorial Day, without fail, my parents and I would go to the Dalton park after the parade and listen to the local Vets fire off a 21 gun salute, then the LTHS band played taps and the National Anthem, and then we'd listen in silence to the names of the town's past vets read aloud… my father's name is now among them and we too are carrying on that tradition as a family.
I still have that hat, and someday I'll have to explain to my step-daughter how it came to mean so much to me… I don't expect her to understand at first, but she'll get eventually, in the same way I did.
This Memorial Day, try to imagine the fear, sadness, and the loss that so many have endured to allow you to have a peaceful cookout at your house. Try, if you can, to imagine you lived in the place of the names that you see on the tombstones with American flags attached to them; the time when they shipped out, or learned the process of honorable service, the time when they fought our enemies while seeing and doing the unthinkable with a hardened resolve, or the day that they came home from war their lives changed as a result forever… and then take a moment to pause, and respect the remarkable history of peace that those men and women have created for us.

Hug your mom this weekend... tightly.
by Eric Petersen
posted May 8 2014 12:38PM
My mother was the type of women that most men dreamed of meeting.
That realization came to me when I found myself taking care of her in the final years of her life and I began seeing the strength, determination, and resolve that she had in herself… not mention the mountains of pictures that had been amassed throughout the years (like this one) of her mowing grass, or shoveling snow, helping my father move furniture or carrying shingles for the major home remodel they did in the seventies. Women of those days simply didn't do "men's work", but she did, and didn't think twice about it.
Growing up I was only totally sure of a few things: Grandmas cooking was the best on earth, The Fonz was the coolest guy on earth, and that my mom loved my father and I totally, completely, and without question more than anyone else on earth.
She wasn't like the women I was meeting; in fact she stood out against MOST of the women that I would be in the company of not only then but for all of my life, no matter the age or demographic category.
As time went on I found it amazingly difficult to find a girl that I could have a lasting relationship with. I dated a lot of girls from a variety of different backgrounds and places, usually only to find that something wasn't quite right. I always asked myself why it was that I wasn't able to find happiness… the answer came when I began to realize that (sadly) we men all subliminally look for the same qualities that our first love, our mom, instilled in our minds were quintessentially important, and my mom had set the bar very high!
My mother was strong and beautiful, stubborn and humble, patient and loving, as well as loyal and respectful. Her skills as a mother are the very things that shaped me into the person I am today. She passed away on a Sunday morning three years ago this coming Thursday and I only hope that she knew how much I appreciated the sacrifice and passion she put forth to raise me in this life.
This Mother's Day take a moment to tell your mom how much she means to you… if you are able to do so, I suggest that you say it to her every day. It may seem a little uncomfortable at first (especially if it's been a while since you told her that) but someday you will feel better as a result of your actions, trust me.
There is a picture in our bathroom of Erika holding Piper as an infant and the inscription reads:
"Mom, when you thought I wasn't listening I heard every word,
and when you thoughy I wasn't looking I saw every move…
you have made me who I am.
Thank you"

Yesterday, the New York Times published an article exposing the black hat SEO tactics of J.C. Penney, explaining how jcpenney.com was able to obtain #1 organic search rankings (unpaid or natural search listings) for virtually everything the retailer sold including searches for "bedding" or "dresses" or "Area Rugs," and enjoyed near-the-top first page rankings for searches like "skinny jeans," "home decor," "furniture," "comforter sets" etc.
The New York Times looked into JC Penney's link profile and uncovered a massive web of thousands of pages of blog spam and paid links linking to the J.C. Penney website, rich with relevant, descriptive anchor text designed to fool Google's ranking algorithms.
The New York Times presented their findings to Google. Googler Matt Cutts, head of SEO webspam, who confirmed that the tactics violated the Google webmaster guidelines and shortly after, the J.C. Penney website was nowhere to be found for the queries they had previously ranked number one for. Matt tweeted that "Google's algorithms had started to work; manual action also taken."
JC Penney reacted to the Google slap by firing its SEO consulting firm, SearchDex.
Analysis of the JC Penney SEO Link-Farm Fiasco
- The fact that google failed to uncover a link-building scheme of this magnitude shows just how vulnerable Google search results are to rank-manpulation schemes.
- JC Penney and SearchDex were just too greedy! They were only caught because they deployed such an egregious use of black-hat SEO techniques on such a massive scale, to the point where a New York Times reporter started snooping. It would be like ... over-stating your business expenses on a tax return by 10,000x and hoping to get away with it.
- Despite this high-profile bust, the probability of getting busted by the Google SEO Web Spam Cops remains incredibly low, while the benefits are incredibly high. In the article, Mr. Cutts emphasized that there are 200 million domain names to police and "Spammers never stop." Meanwhile, 34 percent of Google's traffic goes to the No. 1 organic result. I'm only aware of one other high-profile SEO spam bust (BMW, a few years ago).
- Sell JCP stock (NYSE:JCP)! Seven percent of JCPenney.com's traffic comes from clicks on organic search results – I'd expect that to fall dramatically. And fewer people finding JCP through Google searches is a sure bet they'll see far fewer sales from SEO in Q1.
- If you're outed for spamming Google, it sure helps to be a big AdWords customer. Matt Cutts said in the interview that he'd "circle back" to the company to see if it was still breaking the rules, he said. Presumably they don't want any hurt-feelings from a company that spends $2.46 million a month on paid Google AdWords search ads!
So what do you think? Is Black Hat SEO worth the risk? Should we all be looking to retain SearchDex as our SEO consultants? Write your comments in the fields below.
Hit me up on Twitter:
News flash: Piano player for hire links to J.C. Penney bed comforters
And so it goes. That was just one example of J.C. Penney's Link Fiasco in cheating to get better Google listings.
At 6 AM Chicago time I tweeted to @WordStream that this J.C. Penney SEO Black Hat fiasco would be a great blog topic. Obviously you were already working on it Larry.
Is J.C. Penney guilty of Black Hat SEO or just plain lazy? Which one is it?
1) J.C. Penney fired their black hat SEO firm almost immediately when the NY Times broke the link fiasco story. If someone at J.C. Penney silently nodded in a meeting when their SEO firm proposed having spammy links from piano teacher websites to J.C. Penney bed comforters to increase SERP position and sales, shame on J.C. Penney.
But perhaps J.C. Penney is totally innocent.
2) Then J.C. Penney and their Marketing/Sales department of guilty of not doing their due diligence. It's called an audit. Corporations audit everything: travel expenses, equipment inventories, everything. If a corporation's sales rely heavily upon their online marketing, perhaps they might take a serious look at the origin of their organic traffic.
So J.C. Penney has some serious work to do before they get their organic search, online traffic, and profits back in order.
J.C. Penney's moral to their link fiasco? If you get caught at your black hat SEO have a fall guy handy, or, extend your corporate audits to include your online marketing and traffic.
Thanks Larry. Perhaps corporate sales/marketing executives will turn to their generation x/y assistants today and ask them what "black hat seo" means.
I agree. Sale JCP stock for sure! I'm really shocked it didn't go down a lot more than it did today. I don't believe that only 7% of their traffic was via organic search. With that many high rankings in the SERPs, organic traffic was bound to be higher. Usually SEO traffic is a lot higher % of a sites traffic. Also, with their Google quality score now lowered, won't their PPC costs sky higher as well?
Funniest part of this is how SHOCKED everyone is about the links - look at pretty much every major e-tailer link profile I'm sure 8 in 10 or some such are doing similar. It's actually a pretty tame link profile I have seen worse from JC comps. How do people think they're getting all these links to their DRESSES e-commerce pages? :).
Yeah of course everyone does this ... I guess what is "shocking" (if anything) is that it got written up in the New York Times and perhaps just the agressive scale of this link farm operation and how easily manipulated googles results are.
"Sleazy" is a perfect description for this practice of spamming. Nonchalant SEOs who don't want to diversify and instead focus on convenience as his tool of trade, finding the cheapest tricks at the expense of his audience.
Anyone who will try to getting close to Google algorithm or say the original vision of Larry Page and Sergey Brian that how the web should be organised, will be considered as spammers.

Castle Board Game and Trading Cards Coming Fall 2012!
Every episode of Castle is it's own little game of "Whodunnit?," but now you can bring the fun of solving mysteries into your own home with two new games based on the best crime dramedy ever.
That's right: Crypotzoic Entertainment is releasing the first-ever Castle board game, according to ICv2. While the exact game play deets remain a mystery (see what we did there?), a spokesman for Crypotozoic told iCV2 that the Castle: Murder Mystery Board Game will be "a mystery game following the basic structure of the show."
So, you know what that means: One battered victim, a slew of potential bad guys who all turn out not to be the perp, one perfectly-coiffed Rick Castle game piece and loads of twists and turns along the way.
The game is set up so that one to six Castle aficionados aged 15+ with 30-45 minutes to spare can play at a time. So genius, it's criminal!
And that's not all: Crypotzoic is also releasing Castle Season 1-2 Trading Cards. The cards will include the usual show art and images of our fave characters, as well as autograph cards, wardrobe cards, and more.
Both games will hit toy shelves — and subsequently, our living rooms — in fall 2012.

Bemidji State University Hosts 3D Printing Demonstration
A crowd of people gathered at Bemidji State University yesterday to get a glimpse into the future.
The 360 Center of Excellence at BSU hosted a demonstration for 3D printing. 3D printing is a technology that lays materials in precise patterns to build a three dimensional object.
Mike Connell, a participant at the demonstration, said, "I was blown away by all the many ideas that are out there for the use of 3D printing."
The technology was first developed for manufacturing use, but has started to revolutionize work for entrepreuers and artists. This is achieved by making things accessible for people so that they can create a produce that they might not have the experience to make or the means to take it to a big retailer.
Now, the technology has expanded into printing clothes, jewelry, medical equipment, and even food. "Medical's a great application for 3D printing," said Karen White, the executive director of 360 Center of Excellence at BSU. She continued, "You can customize with 3D printing so you can produce the prosthetic or implanted device specific for that patient."
Other participants at the demonstration said the technology is simply amazing. "If you look at just five years ago, the printers were like $20,000. Now, next time a Staples commercial comes on, they talk about paper clips and 3D printers."
Jeremy Leffelman, the assistant director of 360 Center of Excellence, says the technology is going to continue to advance. "They're going to print more materials and test the laws of physics," he said.
3D printing is still not considered mainstream, but it is working towards that goal for the future.

With each passing car, a color image of the vehicle and a second infrared image of the license plate are transferred from the device to a laptop in the cruiser, which stores and cross-checks the information with local, state, and federal databases and alerts the officer to any violations.

- Poynter Online – Shirky: The Shock of Inclusion and New Roles for News in the Fabric of Society – We are living through a shock of inclusion, where the former audience is becoming increasingly intertwined with all aspects of news, as sources who can go public on their own, as groups that can both create and comb through data in ways the professionals can't, as disseminators and syndicators and users of the news.
This shock of inclusion is coming from the outside in, driven not by the professionals formerly in charge, but by the former audience. It is also being driven by new news entrepreneurs, the men and women who want to build new kinds of sites and services that assume, rather than ignore, the free time and talents of the public.
This a change so varied and robust that we need to consider retiring the word "consumer" altogether, and treat consumption as simply one behavior of many that citizens can now engage in. The kinds of changes that are coming will dwarf those we've already seen, as citizen involvement stops being a set of special cases, and becomes a core ..

- An Inside "Look" at Showtime's New Voyeuristic Series – Approximately 30 million surveillance cameras in the U.S. capture people's lives on tape every day. In fact, it's legal to keep such cameras inside dressing rooms in 37 states. And the ongoing popularity of sites like YouTube and Twitter has only made it easier for society to get even more glimpses inside people's personal thoughts and moments.
This is the premise behind Look, one of the latest series from cable channel Showtime. Based on director Adam Rifkin's 2007 film of the same name, the show — which interweaves five story lines — was shot via security cameras and the like, instead of a traditional setup. It also integrates a number of social elements such as characters' text messages, Twitter and YouTube.
- State of the Blogosphere 2010 Introduction – Technorati Blogging – The 2010 edition of State of the Blogosphere finds blogs in transition—no longer an upstart community, now with influence on mainstream narratives firmly entrenched, with bloggers still searching for the next steps forward. Bloggers' use of and engagement with various social media tools is expanding, and the lines between blogs, micro-blogs, and social networks are disappearing. As the blogosphere converges with social media, sharing of blog posts is increasingly done through social networks—even while blogs remain significantly more influential on blog content than social networks are.
The significant growth of mobile blogging is a key trend this year. Though the smartphone and tablet markets are still relatively new and most analysts expect them to grow much larger, 25% of all bloggers are already engaged in mobile blogging. And 40% of bloggers who report blogging from their smartphone or tablet say that it has changed the way they blog, encouraging shorter and more spontaneous post
- Hiring Executives: If You've Never Done the Job, How Do You Hire Somebody Good? // ben's blog – The biggest difference between being a great functional manager and being a great general manager—and particularly a great CEO—is that as a general manager, you must hire and manage people who are far more competent at their jobs than you would be at their jobs. In fact, often you will have to hire and manage people to do jobs that you have never done. How many CEOs have been head of HR, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Finance and Legal? Probably none.
- Social Networks Vulnerable to Visual Trickery? – Tech Talk – CBS News – Real life inception
Since product placement within personal photos has greater value than simple commercials, memory-altering advertisements will cost companies far more — and thus generate more income — than a pop-up ad or magazine spread. To take advantage of that greater value, social networking sites may either begin selling ad space in our memories as a business model for themselves, or people may directly offer themselves up as a platform for advertising to make some cash, Raskin said.
More Tech Stories from TechNewsDaily.com
Alternatively, users could pay services to help them reach a positive goal through memory implantation. Studies have shown that people will imitate the behavior they see online representations of themselves engaging in. So, a company could help users lose weight by fattening or slimming past images of a user based on their diet in the present, Bailenson said.
- Sentiment Analysis Comes to the 2010 Campaign – NYTimes.com – To be sure, there can be pitfalls in divining public opinion from online musings. The people who post their political views online are not a representative sample of the population, either demographically or in their level of political engagement. Further, the messages often come with little or no information about the person who posted them.
Sentiment analysis tools also have a tin ear for sarcasm, and are easily distracted by active but irrelevant conversation. During the recent British elections, Linguamatics recognized a huge spike in positive language about David Cameron, the Conservative Party candidate for prime minister, in the first moments of a televised debate. It was almost entirely because of a message on Twitter that had been resent many times that jokingly claimed that a television network had already declared Mr. Cameron the winner of the debate.
- 'Underbelly Project' Hidden Art Show in Abandoned Subway Station – NYTimes.com – Known to its creators and participating artists as the Underbelly Project, the space, where all the show's artworks remain, defies every norm of the gallery scene. Collectors can't buy the art. The public can't see it. And the only people with a chance of stumbling across it are the urban explorers who prowl the city's hidden infrastructure or employees of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
That's because the exhibition has been mounted, illegally, in a long-abandoned subway station. The dank, cavernous hall feels a lot farther than it actually is from the bright white rooms of Chelsea's gallery district. Which is more or less the point: This is an art exhibition that goes to extremes to avoid being part of the art world, and even the world in general.

Clinton urges Israel to aid Abbas
Yitzhak Benhorin
1. Did Israel come out the winner?
Yesterday I wrote on Facebook, "much ado about nothing?". But when I did so I was viewing the UN resolution with respect to whether the Palestinians gained much from it; and in my opinion they didn't. After Israel's announcement to not only build 3,000 homes in and beyond the green line but to also build between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim, I reviewed the UN resolution from Israel's perspective. And maybe there is "much ado about something". Since around 1970 every Israel government wanted to build between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim but felt unable to do so, and especially after signing the Oslo Accords in 1993. It would appear that Israel now sees the Oslo accords as negated and therefore has the right, reason or excuse, depending on how you look at it, to build in the above mentioned areas. Bibi is probably in favor, but I sense that Lieberman was the instigator, and although there are very many smart people in the Israeli government, Lieberman is probably the smartest.

2. Israelis, you didn't get the message...
Never will the Palestinian people act as punching bag, with our children being butchered by the thousands - at no cost to Israel. The occupation is going to start costing you dearly. As Hanan Ashrawi said in the Press conference, we will start playing ball. Prepare for legal and military warfare until Palestine is free of the illegal, colonial Israeli occupation.
Lynx ,
3. Aid Abbas as being committed to peace?
He stood in front of the United Nothings, that would have been the perfect time to say, "we will live in peace and cooperation alongside our Israeli neighbors." But he can never say that because the words will choke him. The only thing Abbas is committed to is stealing his handout money from the US, EU, Israel, etc. and the destruction of Israel, even if he does it with more diplomacy and less violence. The man is a farce and a liar, but he at least deserves credit for fooling almost the whole world.
4. Bimbo !.
Arn. ,
5. #2 - kids butchered by the thousands?
You know the comment is nonsense. And if you don't want civilians to die then tell Hamas to move their rockets out of schools, hospitals and homes. You know the above is true!

Arad Israel
6. Israel is not Obama's whore
7. Once a terrorist, forever a terrorist!
"America willing to work with Islamist... we will never work with terrorists"... truth is hamas will forever remain as terrrorist in their blood even if they act as moderate Islamist to fool UN temporary. "... If it (Hamas) wishes to reunite the Palestinians and join the international community it must reject violence, honor past agreements with Israel and recognize Israel's right to exist." problem is fatah can never kick out hamas at all, Gaza will NEVER be led by the "legitimate rep.", and finally we will face a 3 states solutions, with Israel has to appease 2 different palestinians states, giving up more lands and never have peace.
mary_of_bethany ,
8. #2 They got the message
1,822 missiles were fired at Israel from Gaza since the beginning of the year. Save your whining because the missiles were aimed at Israeli children. Your terror is costing YOU dearly. Israel keeps trying to detach from the clinging Palestinians. The PA can't even pay salaries without Israel and your labor market depends on Israel. The "colonial Israeli occupation" is your excuse for failure. Never say never. We just witnessed Iran use the Palestinians as their proxy punching bags and the Palestinians thanked them for this golden opportunity.
Cynthia ,
9. What a clown clinton is !
Moshe ,
10. This was a calculated move by Mr. Abbas
Palestine is now a sovereign State according to International Treaty Law (Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States) and International Customary Law. Mr. Abbas will now freely contract with those States that recognised it to purchase arms and also apply to the International Court of Justice for violations of its sovereignty. No matter how one tries to play this down, the fact remains that over 100 UN Members States have made their intentions clear.

15. Save Israel from Netanyahu and Lieberman
This is a plea to right minded Israelis. Do not vote these 2 morons into office. They are leading Israel down a path of destruction These 2 idiots are intent in destroying your country. Vote them out of office. 2 state solution now.!

16. Long live the new palestinian state !
Palestine belonged for 400 years to the Damascus vilayet. So in the Ottoman Empire there was no difference between Syria and Palestine. Nowadays we are witnessing the end of what is called Syria. In the south Hauran province, with the city of Dera started the civil war against the Assad regime. Hauran must unite with north Jordan, nortern parts of West Bank and the cities of Jericho and Hebron and here is the new palestinian state. A perfect solution, south Jordan remain for Abdullah settlements will be untouched and Jerusalem will be united as the capital of Israel. Please nominate me for the next Nobel Peace Prize.

17. No 2
You really live in illusion you people caused all this, they reject the Balfour proposal and went to war. And now you life on the good will of Israeli if they not want you to life the West Bank & Gaza not existing so be grateful and work out solution otherwise a lot of people will die for nothing more.

Dear Lynx, Keep dreaming. The forces of international politics may be changing, but it doesn't mean they're changing in the way you think. Israeli exports to India and China are increasing. India's and China's importance in world politics keeps growing. India and China are Israel's natural allies. It's just that these ties need to be cultivated and need to ripen. So far, it seems, Palestinians have been doing precisely that - turning their children into punching bags. Year after year, decade after decade. It's very sad to watch, but there it is.

To be a state the PA needs to meet this first requirement: The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: a ) a permanent population; b ) a defined territory; c ) government; and d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states. Ignoring the fact that they fail to meet the second item in terms of defined territory (they still need to negotiate boarders), they fail to meet the third item. The PA does not have a government, it has 2 separate governments (PA and Hamas) that both have exceeded their terms of office by more than 2 years. Until Abbas can go to Gaza and they can hold unification elections they are not a state regardless of what the UN GA says.

26. In the medieval ages
many henchmen expected from the death sentenced person to help his work. Don't move while beeing beheaded. Clinton wants the same from Israel. Not a perfect example, because however Abbas is a henchman, but Israel will live forever.

27. Shame on you-Hillary
Why does Hillary & the rest EU countries have to advise just Israel? Why don't they do the same with all the Arab countries instead? Why don't the CIA or even the FBI ever check Abbas's pesonal account? The world will only then reaiise with whom they are dealing with. A Liar, Liar and just a Crook.

The News & Record of Greensboro reported that a joint-agency investigation has uncovered at least 30 fraudulent check cases that
have targeted more than 25 victims. Police believe there may be more than 25 people involved in the ring.
The ring, which authorities have investigated for several months, targeted residents and businesses through fake checks and bank cards using stolen identities and bank account numbers, and other identifying information.
Three people were arrested and charged on Wednesday. Police said
the counterfeiters create fake payroll checks, bank checks and
personal checks by computer. Those checks are made out to a third
party, who then cashes the checks at a local bank or business and
returns the funds to the counterfeiters.

As of now, no, but I am sure they will insure their talents have adequate security.
I know people have been wondering this for years: WWE has re-released the Original Wrestling Album and WrestleMania The Album on CD. Why isn't Piledriver on CD or digital format? With hits like Jive Soul Bro, Demolition, and Vince's Stand Back on there, not being in a modern format is an injustice to wrestling fans
That is a great question and my only theory is that the record company, not WWE owns the rights to the album.
Whatever became of Garrett Bischoff? He seemed to have vanished into thin air. Now you see him, now you don't. Is he still with TNA? If so as what? A referee or a wrestler?
Bischoff is still under contract to TNA and is working house shows.
What are the requirements for certain FCW Divas to be brought up to either Raw or Smackdown? How does one earn the right to go to RAW/Smackdown?
WWE Creative has something for them.
Are there any updates on Stampede Wrestling running again? Any word on talents?
No updates at all at this time. Bruce Hart has a pattern of trying to relaunch the company, and often there is not much to the effort. So, we will see.

Crazy Like a Fox
What exactly is Hamid Karzai trying to accomplish with his latest comments?
Is Hamid Karzai crazy? Maybe. But to several senior U.S. and NATO officials, civilian and military, the Afghan president's mental state is, at the moment, the least of their worries. Their bigger fear, triggered by an interview that Karzai gave on Nov. 13 to the Washington Post, is that his goals in the war are very different from U.S. goals and that this divergence, first, may be reaching a crisis point and, second, will make victory—by even the loosest definition—harder than it already was.
In the Post interview, Karzai made several remarkable statements. Among them:
"The time has come to reduce military operations." This, just as the last of President Obama's surge troops are arriving in country and on the eve of a much-heralded NATO conference where the Western alliance will commit to staying in the war through at least 2014.
"[Y]ou can have the U.S. presence in the bases where they are, you can have necessary activities along the [Pakistan] border… but the majority of day-to-day activities where security is concerned … is the job of the Afghan people, the Afghan government." This, in direct contradiction to the U.S. counterinsurgency strategy of blending troops in with the people (to protect them and to better gather intelligence about the Taliban) and in defiance of the fact that the Afghan army is yet not ready to provide security on its own.
"The raiding [of] homes at night [is] terrible, terrible … Bursting into homes at night, arresting Afghans, this isn't the business of any foreign troops, Afghans have to do that." This, even though these night raids against Taliban militants are a crucial part of the present U.S. strategy, even though Karzai formally agreed to these raids, and even though the raids are joint operations with Afghan soldiers in the lead.
In short, this was not a replay of Karzai's outburst in April, when he accused Americans of rigging the Afghan elections and threatened to join the Taliban himself. That was a serious episode, but it calmed down after a soothing one-on-one between Obama and Karzai in the Oval Office. The Post interview was something different. And to make sure everyone got that point, Gen. David Petraeus told the Post, on the record, that he read Karzai's remarks with "astonishment and disappointment." He also let it be known that Karzai's remarks made his own position as U.S. commander in Afghanistan "untenable."
This was an unusual, and uncharacteristic, step on the part of Petraeus, who usually handles these kinds of tensions calmly and quietly. He clearly knew that the sheer act of making such a statement publicly would alert the right people that things were getting seriously bad.
Right on cue, Karzai's spokesman, Waheed Omer, swiftly backpedaled, insisting that his boss has only the highest regard for the good general and that his words in the interview reflect only that the United States and Afghanistan have a "maturing partnership," in which "there is room for reflection on both sides." Following up, Gen. Douglas Lute, Obama's special adviser on Afghanistan, assured White House reporters at a news conference the next day that Karzai's remarks amounted to "a call for an Afghanistan that eventually is stable, fully sovereign, and self-reliant—and, in that call, we have a lot in common."
It was a standard diplomatic pas de deux and, as such ceremonies usually are, an evasion. There is no getting around the fact that Karzai's remarks constitute a rebuking of the U.S. war strategy. It would be bad enough if two allied commanders disagreed so strongly about such a core issue. It's potentially catastrophic for the president of the host nation to diss the strategy—and, by implication, the commanders, soldiers, and money that are the only things separating him from a noose and a lamppost. (As the New York Times' Dexter Filkins recently told Charlie Rose, if we announced that our troops were leaving on Monday, Karzai would leave on Sunday.)
Then again, from his vantage point, Karzai isn't behaving unreasonably. The night raids are angering a fair number of Afghans, especially those whose homes are raided by mistake (though it's also the case that many Afghans are thankful that hundreds of Taliban fighters, whom they fear much more, are being killed or captured). Karzai says, and perhaps genuinely believes, that the stepped-up attacks—not only by special-ops forces but also by airstrikes and drones—are radicalizing the population more than they're truly defeating the insurgents. He may even be right.
But what seems to be troubling Karzai above all is that the U.S. counterinsurgency tactics are, in effect, diminishing his own power. Take this rambling passage from the Post interview:

Garmin has Bradley Wiggins in 6th place and Vandevelde in 12th place. Does Wiggins become their GC contender now that he has the best standing after 4 stages? Also, once they hit the mountains and if he drops back I'm assuming that Vandevelde would become the GC then.
How about Columbia with Hincapie in 17th. If the other riders drop in the mountains is it possible that Hincapie could become a GC rider then?

The Golden Globes are only days away — and MTV News will be here all week long to get you geared up for the big night with profiles, previews and fashion galore. It all comes to a head Sunday night, when we'll have more coverage than you can throw a shiny statuette at. Mark your calendars: Sunday, January 11, is the night, and this is the place to be!
[movieperson id="31834″]Angelina Jolie[/movieperson] didn't let the births of her twins (as well as being a mom to four other kids) stop her in 2008. In fact, she continued to diversify her résumé, starring in films ranging from an animated kids' flick to an action movie to a drama, the latter of which has earned her a Golden Globe nod .
Jolie played a tiger in the kiddie movie "Kung Fu Panda," but it was her turn as an action babe in "Wanted" — in which she got to shoot guns, be practically naked and get it on with co-star James McAvoy — that left fans salivating.
(Don't miss our look back at what 2008 meant to Golden Globe nominees Brad Pitt , Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus too.)
"I was itching to do something that was physical, because I had done some emotional films and I had been at home with the kids," she told MTV News. "I didn't know that there was anything original out there [until] I came across this script. One, it has a great story. A lot of action movies are kind of lacking in that."
And she insisted that getting physical with McAvoy was a lot different than when she messed around with longtime boyfriend [movieperson id="50260″]Brad Pitt[/movieperson] — who is also up for a Golden Globe for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" — while filming "Mr. & Mrs. Smith."
"I'll always prefer rolling around on the floor with him than any other man," Jolie laughed about Pitt. "You know, in general."
But it is her work in Clint Eastwood's "Changeling" that has earned Jolie her Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama. Jolie has won three previous Golden Globes for her work in "Girl, Interrupted," "Gia" and "George Wallace," but she almost passed up the opportunity that led to this most recent nomination. She initially didn't want to make "Changeling," because of the film's story line about a mother looking for her missing child.
"I've said before that reading the script made me want to stay as far away as possible," she told MTV News. "I didn't want to think about anything happening to my children, but I couldn't forget it. I wanted to tell her story. In the end, it's also a story about justice."
She also couldn't pass up the chance to work with Eastwood. "He's just decisive," she said of his directing style. "He knows what he wants. He's a great leader, so it just works."
And, maybe because of Eastwood's directing, Jolie said she broke her rule of not watching herself on the big screen. "I never like to watch myself, ever," she said. "I still haven't seen 'Wanted.' I heard it was fun, but I haven't seen it. … I think it says something that I feel like I did something right if I can watch something and feel removed enough from myself. And I can watch this movie ['Changeling']. I'm proud of the film. You'll have to ask Brad, but I think he likes this one."
She has "The Mercenary" lined up for 2009, but Jolie has also talked a bit about slowing down in the near future to be with her kids. "I don't plan to keep acting very long. I'm ready to do a few things now and fade away," she told BBC News in November. "I like being home a lot. First and foremost, I have a lot of children, and I need to make sure they're growing right and they've got us there for them."
We're all over the Golden Globes! MTV News will be rolling out profiles, previews, fashion and much more in the days leading up to the awards — and this is the place to be on Sunday night, when we'll have live blogs, photos, interviews and more!
Check out everything we've got on "Changeling."

Brined pork loin, roasted with an onion cardamom crust and served with a mushroom cream sauce.
- 3/4 cup coarse kosher salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 gallon cold water
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- 1 1/2 cups chopped onion (about 2 medium sized onions), divided into 3 x 1/2 cups
- Olive oil
- 2 1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom, divided, 2 and 1/4 teaspoons
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 4-pound center-cut boneless pork loin roast
- Salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups chicken broth, divided, 1 cup and 1 cup
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 Tbps butter, room temperature
1 Prepare the brine. Dissolve the sugar and salt into the boiling water. Add it to the cold water. Add the pepper and stir to combine. Chill the brine completely in the refrigerator before adding it to the pork. Submerge pork in the brine solution and chill for 24 hours. Note that thick, gallon-sized freezer bag is great for brining; if you use one, you probably only need half as much brine solution. Even if you are using a bag, place in a bowl just in case the bag leaks. Rinse the roast thoroughly of the brine solution before cooking, pat dry.
2 Preheat oven to 350°F. Purée 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2 teaspoons ground cardamom, and garlic in a food processor or blender.
3 Spread another 1/2 cup chopped onion in center of large roasting pan; top with pork. Sprinkle pork generously with salt and pepper; coat with onion purée.
4 Combine mushrooms, remaining 1/2 cup onion, and 4 Tbsp olive oil in bowl; sprinkle with salt and pepper; arrange around pork.
5 Roast pork 1 hour. Remove from oven after one hour and remove the mushrooms, placing them into a large saucepan. Add 1 cup broth and 1/2 cup water to roasting pan. Return roast to oven and roast pork until thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 140°F-145°F, about 15-20 minutes longer. Transfer pork to platter; tent with foil.
6 Scrape the drippings from the roasting pan into the pan with the mushrooms. Add the cream, remaining cup of broth, and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom to pan; bring to boil. Blend flour and butter in small cup; mix into mushroom sauce.
Cook the sauce, stirring often, until reduced enough to coat spoon. Season sauce with salt and pepper; serve with pork.
