The Grumpy Cat wasn't impressed with the red carpet portion of the 2014 MTV Movie Awards and he didn't hide it. The cat was on the red carpet of the annual award show in Los Angeles being paraded down the carpet in front of the press and fans. However, his facial expressions didn't offer anything less than annoyance. According to People Magazine on Sunday, the cat even copied Pharrell's hat so he could be cool.
The Grumpy Cat debut was promised by Conan O'Brien, the host of the MTV Movie Awards, on Saturday. Sharing with the Huffington Post that the cat along with some nudity might be a few of many highlights of the show.
While the younger generation loved to see the four-legged legend on the carpet, the cat definitely didn't get to do anything but be held as his handler walked along. The funniest part had to be the expressionless face of the animal and it really didn't matter how loud the fans yelled.
The idea of an animal so small on a Hollywood red carpet definitely offered up a talking point on social media. Fans were intrigued to see the cat be part of the festivities early on and knew there had to be more to come when the show started. The Grumpy Cat doesn't just show up to a red carpet to hang out and look upset at the surroundings. There is a whole award show to look annoyed about too.
The MTV Movie Awards always offer up some zany (and delightful) moments for the fans. Without a little crazy going on it would be just another award show. With the chance to see internet stars like Grumpy Cat and honoring weird moments in film, it has become a notoriously great award show.
Take a peek at the Grumpy Cat photos. He is unimpressed and the cat hopes you will be too.

Dr. Allen-Clear Purpose Chiropractic
by User2010 on
Very high praise for Dr. Allen. I not having to make an appointment and rarely having any wait time. I like the quality of his work and the fact that he does not try and sell more visits and services unless really necessary. He will take to the time to explain things and is very skilled and has a great amount of knowledge in his field. I also appreciate the cost savings, the 10 visit pass is a bonus. 5 star all the way.
by User26678 on
Dr. Allen is by far the BEST chiropractor that I have ever been to! He takes the time needed to make sure I walk away pain free. I've never had to wait more than a few minutes which is the total opposite to any other chiropractor I've been to. Would definitely recommend him.

Workable WaxI use this after I towel dry my hair. My hair is short. (if it were to be long, it gets wavy and I can't stand it) I like this product, I work it into my hair and it's movable for about 3 minutes then it starts to firm up. Any water into it will make it plyable... however it can still be moved a bit while it's firmed up. It's basically the best thing I found to replace my very old - KLM, stick it wax. (male hair style)

School evacuated after child claims to have explosives
Published: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 9:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 10:55 p.m.
The Holly Hill School on Center Avenue was evacuated Tuesday after a student told his teachers a schoolmate said he was going to blow up the school, Holly Hill police and school officials said.
The school, with 1,000 students from kindergarten through eighth grade, was evacuated just after 8:30 a.m., said Volusia County Schools spokeswoman Nancy Wait.
Police Chief Mark Barker said a 15-year-old student told another classmate he was going to bring explosives to the school in a backpack.
Barker said bomb-sniffing dogs went through the school and found nothing. Students returned to class shortly afterward.
"We spoke to the student who made the threat and we will be sending him to Halifax Behavioral Services," Barker said.
Police will not be charging the teenager, Barker said. However, any disciplinary measures will be up to school administration.

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) -- Pensacola police have identified the officer involved in the fatal shooting of an armed suspect.
The police department says Officer Coy McKenna shot and killed a gun-wielding suspect after the two exchanged fire near an apartment complex late Tuesday.
Police were called to the complex by neighbors who said a man had opened fire outside the complex and shot a woman. The woman is in critical condition at an area hospital.
Authorities have not released the suspect's identity.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting.

Post to Raise Newsstand Price to 75 Cents
Starting Monday!
Starting on Monday, a dollar will no longer buy you the Post and the Daily News in the morning. The Post will jump to 75 cents from 50. The last time the tabloid attempted a price change was in 2006 when it jumped to 50 cents from 25, and the rival News dug into its readership with a temporary price drop at the same time. Don't be surprised if they try the same move this time around ... (The Post is the eighth-most-read paper in the country, running slightly behind the News, which is seventh.) [Adweek]

Deeplinks Blog posts about Privacy
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has obtained documents through the Freedom of Information Act that reveal the inner workings of the FBI's Digital Collection System Network (DCSNet), a software suite that allows the Bureau to conduct surveillance on a wide variety of digital devices.
As Ryan Singel writes in his extensive report for Wired News:
Many of the details of the system and its full capabilities were redacted from the documents acquired by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, but they show that DCSNet includes at least three collection components, each running on Windows-based computers.
Last week, we told you about how, nearly eighty years ago, AT&T fought at the Supreme Court to stop the government's warrantless surveillance of Americans' private communications. In its brief in Olmstead v. USA, Ma Bell argued that wiretapping could be far more oppressive than searches conducted by King George that directly motivated the crafting of the Fourth Amendment. For more on King George's "hated writs," check out this excellent article written by former EFF Legal Intern David Snyder. (An adapted version of this article also ran in yesterday's Daily Journal, unfortunately behind a paywall.)
Update 7:21 PM: Congress has now passed the Administration's spying bill and landed a huge blow to all Americans' privacy. Thanks to everyone who took action to voice their opposition, and shame on the members of Congress who bowed to the Administration's scaremongering and disregarded the rights and interests of the American people. This is obviously an incredibly disappointing turn in the fight to stop the government's abuse of spying powers, but this is by no means the end of the road.
We'll have more commentary in the coming week. You can find initial reaction from ACLU here and CDT here.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly suggested that Congress may take action this week on a bill that could rubberstamp the NSA's spying program. The Bush Administration is trying to sell its latest proposal as a serious compromise, but don't be fooled -- it represents an unprecedented power grab that endangers the checks and balances that define our democracy. Please call your representatives now before it's too late.
Contrary to the Administration's characterizations, its "FISA Modernization" bill is not about "updating" the law and allowing surveillance of foreign-to-foreign communications. Instead, it could radically expand the government's ability to spy on Americans without a warrant.
A few days before Friday's release of Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows, someone leaked a (genuine) copy of the book widely
using file-sharing networks and photo-sharing web sites -- photographing
every single page with a digital camera. The quality isn't
great -- the leaker evidently didn't have a nifty Internet Archive Scribe station -- but the text is legible.

A Comparative Evaluation of Financial Performance of District Central Co-Operative Banks in Haryana (India)
Chander Ramesh*, Associate Professor, Chandel Jai Kishan**, Assistant Professor
*University School of Management, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra
**Institute of Management Studies, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra
Online published on 11 April, 2012.
Indian financial system is blended with vast network of financial institutions, markets, services and instruments, where each component plays significant role in an integrated way. Recognized as rural economy globally, the impetus to financial institutions operating in rural sector has increased tremendously and cooperative credit institutions having a lead, proved their worth at various stances. Cooperative credit institutions are engaged in production, marketing, distribution, servicing, processing and banking with vast and powerful superstructure. Cooperative banks have been working at state, district and village levels. But scams in cooperative sector, failure and closure of unviable branches, imposition of penalty by RBI or NABARD and payment of heavy money claims by DICGC due to bankruptcy of cooperative banks are few significant reasons which tempt to have a look into the financial affairs of these institutions. Many banks became insolvent and others are on the verge of mergers or acquisition. The 19 DCCBs with nearly 100 branches and covering varied 33000 societies have been working as a backbone for the rural banking sector in Haryana. In the present study, an attempt is made to analyze the financial performance, efficiency and viability of Five District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCBs) operating in Rohtak division in Haryana (India) for a period of twelve years (1997–98 to 2008–09) through financial analysis with different parameters and z-score analysis. The end results reveal that these banks are in astonishing situation as one bank performed well on one criterion and deteriorated on another, like all the banks performed well in case of liquidity but needs to make improvements on profitability, solvency, efficiency and risk parameters. Similarly, all the DCCBs have been deficient on different parameters and make the situation more vulnerable on bankruptcy parameter. These banks have been suffering from financial mismanagement and underutilization of resources.

xx October - 31 October,
In which Harry is caught dripping mud on the carpet by
Filch, is taken to
Filch's office, discovers that Filch is not a wizard,
and Nearly Headless Nick
invites him to his Deathday Party, which HRH attend on
Hallowe'en night. Leaving the party, Harry hears voices
again, and following the sound with Ron and Hermione
discovers writing on the wall and a Petrified Mrs. Norris.
Interesting facts and notes about the text of chapter eight:
This chapter gives us our most detailed look at ghosts to date.
He was pale as smoke, and Harry could see right through him to the dark sky and
torrential rain outside.
"But you would think, wouldn't you," he erupted suddenly, pulling
the letter back out of his pocket, "that getting hit forty-five times
in the neck with a blunt axe would qualify you to join the Headless Hunt?"
"Filch isn't in a good mood."
"He's got flu..."
"...and some third-years accidentally plastered frog brains all over the
ceiling in dungeon five..."
...trying to find out what would happen if you fed a Filibuster Firework to a
salamander. Fred had 'rescued' the brilliant orange, fire-dwelling lizard from
a Care of Magical Creatures class...
Wooden filing cabinets stood around the walls; from their labels, Harry could see
that they contained details of every pupil Filch had ever punished. Fred and George
Weasley had an entire drawer to themselves.
"She haunts the girls' toilet on the first floor,"
said Hermione.
Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington
died 31st October, 1492
Through the dungeon wall burst a dozen ghost horses...

Exceptional character moments:
Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who keep their word and attend
Nick's party despite the inedible food, the horrible
orchestra, and the delights of the Hallowe'en feast
being held in the Great Hall.
Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore, who in a dazzling display
of his lack of consideration, completely upstages Nick
at Nick's own party.

There has been quite a bit of discussion over the market share of mobile devices today (arguably, for the past few years). It all started with a link on TechCrunch, claiming that Android overtook the iPhone in terms of US traffic (according to AdMob). This being a clear case of selection bias, I set about to figure out the mobile devices used by the visitors of some of my sites during the past month.
As these figures will obviously depend on the type of audience that a site attracts, I put the following three sites on the table as samples (the first two are mine, the last one is my wife's). All three sites have a predominantly North American audience, but they aren't lacking for international readers either. This is not meant to be a scientific survey, just a quick way to gather some empirical data and satisfy my (and perhaps your) curiosity. It's also important to understand that the "market share" here is not actually the market share of all mobile devices sold, but rather limited to those normally used for web browsing.
Let's start with the data for this site which obviously has a very technical audience:
Next are the results for Math Blog, with has a geeky, but less technical audience.
Finally, my wife's blog which is devoted to all things vintage. Her audience is generally non-technical and prominently comprised of female visitors.
A few thoughts on this data:
Android offers you a great degree of freedom, compared to the iPhone OS due to Apple's draconian policies. But the market share for Android still seems to be somewhat small (at least according to the, admittedly limited, figures above). This may change in the future, if and when the number of popular devices that run Android continues to grow (which would include alternatives to the iPad).
With Android still having a long way to go before it catches up with the iPhone OS, which of the two would you develop for, assuming you could only pick one?
If you enjoyed this post, then make sure you subscribe to my Newsletter and/or Feed.
Yes, TC gave it a pretty bad spin. Ad-related traffic has very little to do with market share once you consider several factors involved.
I'm not sure this is even worth writing a post about (discussion on news aggregators seems to be more than enough for me), but still I'm thankful for you posting those figures, that's interesting material. I'm particularly impressed that iPhone's share is bigger the more tech-savvy the site. I'm guessing there are two factors at play:
The future is more important than the present, so the answer is Android, because open usually wins.
Picking a platform has nothing to do with absolute market share numbers, but rather with viability.
Viability of the platform itself, on one hand, since no-one likes to play music in the deck of the Titanic (*cough*palm*cough*).
And viability for yourself, which mostly mean whether you can get enough rewards for your efforts.
Once certain thresholds are crossed, which admittedly are very fuzzy lines, you can pick your platform based on other factors besides pure market share… such as, say, freedom of carrier choice and freedom of distribution.
To answer your last question: I think it depends on the kind of application. Obviously developing for iPhone could mean reaching a wider audience whilst developing for Android could mean more "room" for developers to write apps that do not exist yet. I never tried either of the dev kits (I'd love to though) and I am still trying to figure out which smartphone to get for myself
Notice that WebOS (Palm Pre) is missing from your stats. Maybe not any visitors to your site? Or maybe because the browser is so similar (both Webkit based) they got lumped into the iPhone stats?
I just voted for Android, specifically the Verizon Droid Incredible. Yes, as a developer I much prefer the thought of Android. But my mobile traffic is mostly iPhone, and my site is quite technical as well.
I've been with Verizon for a long time, and I've gotten used to their coverage. If they had an iPhone when it first came out, I might have gotten one. In fact, even if they had an iPhone now, I might have gotten one. But it was time to get a smart phone, and the Incredible looked like the best Verizon had, and looks like a more comfortable phone to develop on. So that's the way I went.
I sincerely welcome and appreciate your comments, whether in agreement or dissenting with my article. However, trolling will not be tolerated. Comments are automatically closed 15 days after the publication of each article.

BMW M5 vs. Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG
In the middle of this German slug fest, we have the BMW M5 and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG; two performance vehicles that are embroiled in a tight match up that may prove enigmatic to the odds makers in Vegas. Let's save the odds makers from late-night calculations, and let our car-versus-car square off between the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG from Stuttgart and the BMW M5 from Munich begin.
Engine: 5.0-liter, 40-valve V10
Horsepower: 500 hp @ 7,750 rpm
Torque: 383 lb-ft @ 6,100 rpm
MPG: City: 11; Highway: 17
Performance - 19/20
Paying homage to the Formula 1 racing efforts with a V10 configuration, the BMW M5 contains the same zest for performance. Designed to deliver the maximum 500 horsepower at 6,100 rpms, the BMW M5 roars assertively with the aid of either a seven-speed SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox) with paddle-shifter controls or the more conventional six-speed manual transmission.
Granting the driver the ability to shift his seven-speed automatic with Drivelogic control, the BMW M5's SMG transmission hits 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, while the six-speed manual jumps from a standing start to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds.
Resisting the temptation to give all the credit to the 500 horsepower V10, we have to say that the BMW M5's performance DNA is embedded throughout the entire sedan, starting with the all-aluminum chassis and suspension. World-class handling is delivered through the variable M-differential lock that's married to the fully operational Dynamic Stability Control system and Electronic Damping Control.
Exterior design - 18/20
Sporting the 5 Series' already ultra-modern outer appearance, the M5's details brilliantly compliment 21st century premium motoring. A sportier front fascia design not only emphasizes the already existing curves along the grille, but it also increases air intake to the V10. And lightweight, 19-inch wheels are specially mounted to the M version of the BMW 5 Series for a styling and technical edge.
Matching the high-performance attitude of the M5, exterior lighting proves to be an extension of BMW's modern touches to motoring. Ultra-bright Xenon headlamps incorporate sensors that adjust the light beam's direction and brake lights are illuminated in accordance to stopping force to maximize the warning for your many followers.
Interior design - 9/10
Advertised as a race car for four, the BMW M5 sedan provides a sure way for a driver to gain three close friends. With much of the interior a familiar sight to BMW fans, the fine, German build quality can be witnessed throughout the well-appointed cabin. Catered for varying tastes of performance and luxury, the M5's interior can be trimmed with brushed aluminum, olive ash wood or Madeira walnut wood interior accents.
Who will win this challenge between the BMW M5 and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG?

Leopard Diaries
A word from our rangers.
Leopard diaries 2 March – 16 March 2012
Leopard Diaries 2 March – 16 March 2012
Most of the usual leopards have been around in the last two weeks. We came across Shadow one evening on the way back to camp. She was looking
healthy and furiously marking territory as she went.
Salayexe was seen a number of times, on two occasions right outside the lodge. She killed an impala ram on the helipad just behind the lodge but didn't take it up into a tree. The following morning we found her lying 20 metres away watching a hyena eat her well-earned kill.
Salayexe also had a small run in with Tingana at Serengeti a few nights ago. For some reason the large male got aggressive with her and attacked her. She managed to get up a tree and the male just sat at the bottom watching and waiting for her to come down. We are not sure how the situation ended but she has been seen since and is fine.
Tingana was also seen on a number of occasions covering his huge territory and marking as he went.
A nice surprise a few mornings ago, whilst looking for rhino on the Londolozi boundary. We saw leopard tracks and a few minutes later came across the leopard, it was Tyson. He didn't move north of the boundary but walked for some distance along it.
A real treat to see him again.
Other leopards seen in the past two weeks include Nsele, just a brief sighting but definitely Salayexe's first female cub. Karula, Lamula and Kwatile were also in the area.
The young Tsalala female lionesses made a buffalo kill during the week. They took their time feeding on it before leaving it only to kill a waterbuck bull a few days later. BB and the rest of the Tsalala Pride made a brief appearance at Big Dam but left after only a day.
The Tsalala lions had a little fun when they chased an African Civet up a tree. Civets are not really known for climbing but did what had to be done to escape certain death. The lions lay under the tree for the whole day and only in the evening when they started to move did the civet climb down. He was so tired he didn't even run away, just ambled along.
The Nkuhuma lionesses hung around for a few days as well. They made no kills whilst in the area but we did receive a report from the north that they had killed a wildebeest shortly after they left.
The Nkuhuma males moved through the area giving us a brief glimpse as they passed.
Other lions seen included the Styx Pride as well as the Four Ways Pride (from Kruger).

Originally, it seemed as if it was not possible to use Hotmail with Thunderbird in an IMAP (or IMAP like fashion) without some hacks (the WebMail plugin, etc.) and it seemed the best method was to use a Gmail account configured as IMAP and read in the Hotmail account as a POP3. Of course, this eliminates any sort of access to folders on the Hotmail account.
Now that Microsoft is toting the new
Outlook.com moniker/platform (and I have switched over) I have heard that the support for ActiveSync is improved, and that this can be used to access folders in the account from another client. I haven't found a plugin for Thunderbird that will make this seamless.
Is there a method that I'm overlooking to accomplish this? Is there another desktop client besides Outlook proper that can work with ActiveSync?

Boston Whaler wins customer satisfaction award
Published: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 9:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 9:44 p.m.
EDGEWATER —Boston Whaler has received a Customer Satisfaction Award from the National Marine Manufacturers Association, according to a news release.
This is the 10th consecutive year the locally based boat maker, which is a subsidiary of Lake Forest, Ill.-based Brunswick Corp., has received the award.
"At Boston Whaler, we are dedicated to the customer experience," said Huw Bower, president of Boston Whaler, in the release.
Boston Whaler earned its award in the Fiberglass Outboard Boats category.
The CSI Awards measure customer satisfaction, only recognizing boat and engine manufacturers that receive the highest marks, according to the release. To achieve the requirements for the Marine Industry CSI Awards, Boston Whaler achieved and maintained an independently measured standard of excellence of 90 percent or higher in customer satisfaction. This score is based on information provided directly by more than 50,000 consumers who purchased a new boat and engine in the past year.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 2 November 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18541102-TC-JAC-01; CL 29: 184-185
Chelsea, 2 Novr 1854—
My dear Brother,—Yesterday afternoon I was at Mares's, and have been again this morning before breakfast: I believe I may say now the Inscription is completely ended, exact in all points, and well enough put on,—all in roman capitals; perhaps a little shallower (or perhaps not?) than would have been my custom, but no doubt conformable to theirs. The man had ended, yesterday, all but a few finishings that required a lighter tool; and was painting the stone when I arrived: there were a comma or two that needed rectifying; about which I again indoctrinated Mayers this morning (the man not being there), and I have no doubt it is now right, and in all points conformable to your Paper. Next week, perhaps about Wednesday or earlier, I expect to report that I have seen the Stone right in its place; and then, as I told Mayers, he has only his account to present.
My blue-pill operations have very much deranged my poor interior, in their fashion; but my cold is quite gone; and I shall profit in due season. Meanwhile boiledness, irritability of nerves, weakness, weakness! And I have sat here all day, vainly striving with a task I could not do,—could not in spite of all my struggling;—and so am going out, into the remains of the winter sunshine, in a rather bankrupt humour. Another day I shall do better;—what we do but hope!
Tait is trying to "paint" me; has got one sitting, is to have just one other: his Picture looks to me horrible, and useless wholly;—a sad thing to have a man hunt you about, to "sit" painfully a fraction of your time away to him, that he may manufacture a miserable splash of caricature from you.1 But it cannot always be helped; in some cases it is your shortest method of escape.
Lewes, Ape Lewes, or "hairy Lewes," as we called him, has not only gone to Weimar, but is understood to have a "strong minded woman" with him there, and has certainly cast away his Wife here,—who indeed deserved it of him, having openly produced those dirty sooty skinned children which have Thn Hunt for father, and being ready with a third;2 Lewes to pay the whole account, even the money part of it!3— Such are our sublime George-Sand Philosophies teaching by experience. Everlasting peace to them and theirs,—in the Cesspool, which is their home. Adieu, dear Brother: Good be with you ever
T. Carlyle

Hatcher claims on p. 148 that $H_{n}(M_{f},S^{n})=\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$, where $f$ is a degree $m>1$ map of $S^{n}$, and $M_{f}$ is the associated mapping cylinder. Why is this?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Firstly, you have to be more specific about how you intended $S^n$ to embed in $M_f$. I didn't look in Hatcher but I'm supposing it's the $S^n$ on the "0" end of the cylinder. If it's the $S^n$ on the "1" end, then $H_n(M_f, S^n)$ is trivial.
Think about the long exact sequence in which relative homology fits:
$$ \cdots H_{n}(S^n) \stackrel{\alpha}{\longrightarrow} H_{n}(M_f) \stackrel{\beta}{\longrightarrow} H_{n}(M_f, S^n) \stackrel{\gamma}{\longrightarrow} H_{n-1}(S^n) = 0 $$
One can see that $\beta$ is a surjection, so $$ H_n(M_f, S^n) = H_n(M_f) / \mathrm{im} (\alpha). $$ Can you see how this proves your result? Think about what $\alpha$ does to a generator of $H_n(S_n)$.

"The Real Housewives of New York" star Jill Zarin essentially disappeared from the spotlight after she was fired from the show. However, she has been trying to get back in the spotlight since she was fired, and seems to use many opportunities to do so. According to a new Radar Online report published on Feb. 3, "The Real Housewives of New York" star Jill Zarin is now revealing that she wants people to leave Ramona alone during this time.
"I think everyone should give Ramona a little space during this difficult time," Zarin has revealed after learning of the divorce. Ramona herself has asked for privacy, but mostly to protect her daughter, Avery Singer. Zarin predicted an affair, as she would often say that Mario was cheating on Ramona. This was back in 2011, when she was fired from the show.
"I am glad you finally told the truth @ramonasinger," Zarin has tweeted about the situation, adding, "I hope he gets what he deserves. Mario CHOKED her." However, Singer was quick to comment on Zarin's interview. However, Ramona didn't ask Zarin to speak on her behalf. "Think it's sad she feels the need to use my personal business to try to make herself relevant," she revealed. And her followers supports her. "Why in the hell is @jillZarin discussing anything at all about @ramonasinger?" the fan asked. "STFU Jill. You nor your gossip are relevant."
What do you think about her comments?

You are hereImpeachment
The Impeachment That Never Was...
The Impeachment That Never Was...
Story & painted pumpkin illustration by Kathy Luttkus
I 'impeached' George Bush in my backyard, fueled by the belief that only elbows – and not impeachments – should be kept off the table. The process wasn't hard. I purchased a can of peach halves (in heavy syrup), picked out a pumpkin at the farmer's market, painted on a dumb facial expression, bought a gray wool suit from a thrift store, found a red, white and blue polyester tie on the dance floor of a Libertyville chili cook-off, and scored some Mickey Mouse cufflinks on eBay.
I accomplished in two hours tops what our representatives couldn't do in five years. All 34 vertebrae of a good and sturdy spine aided the creation of the impeached pumpkin. But in the end, it was a little testicular fortitude that accomplished the task, even though I am a woman.
A scary precedent is being set by not impeaching a guy like George Bush. A majority of Americans agreed that Congress should impeach Bush if Americans were wiretapped without the approval of a judge. The 2006 Democratic takeover of the House and Senate meant – according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – that people were calling for a "new direction." But the Democrats didn't keep their pledge for a change of course in Iraq, just as George Bush didn't make good on his promise that the economy would grow. By 2007, the Democrats preferred the beatitude about inheriting the earth to being called peacemakers, whose only reward is to be deemed children of God. For them, regaining power mattered above all else.
Trump Should Be Fired As a Citizen
By David Swanson
Donald Trump told Wolf Blitzer on CNN on Wednesday that Bush should have been impeached for lying us into a war, and that he was surprised Nancy Pelosi hadn't done it. This was the first time CNN had invited a guest on to say that, even though it's been a majority position in America for years. And they didn't invite Trump on to say it; Trump caught Blitzer by surprise and challenged the host on his dishonest defense of Bush.
Having Failed to Fund an Impeachment Movement or Say a Damn Thing Before Now, Donald Trump Favors Impeachment
Trump: Bush impeachment would be 'wonderful thing'
(AFP) - Property mogul and diehard Republican Donald Trump told CNN on Wednesday that President George W. Bush misled the US into the Iraq War and should have been impeached when the Democrats took control of Congress in 2006.
"I was surprised that she didn't do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush," Trump said in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, referring to Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
"It ... just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which personally I think would have been a wonderful thing."
Trump, 62, said Bush misled the United States into waging war on Iraq, a much worse offense than a dalliance with a White House intern his predecessor Bill Clinton was impeached for in 1999.
Big Bankers Blink; Paulson's Unprecedented Power; Shock and Awe Hints at the Good and Evil We May Soon Face
By Rob Kall, OpEdNews
Today's Wall Street Journal reports how Henry Paulson summoned the heads of the top banks in America to meet with him on Monday.
On one side of the table sat Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, flanked by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair.
On the other side sat the nation's top bank executives, who had flown in from around the country, lined up in alphabetical order by bank, with Bank of America Corp. at one end of the table and Wells Fargo & Co. at another.
It was Monday afternoon at 3 p.m. at the Treasury headquarters. Messrs. Paulson and Bernanke had called one of the most important gatherings of bankers in American history...
The Blank Vote Initiative
With only several weeks to go, the one & only thing that will get the attention of the Democrats is to threaten to deny them your vote unless they Impeach. There is no chance of this congress (or the next) supporting or defending the Constitution unless we demand it.
If you have any illusions that they will Impeach anyone in this administration, or if you think they will have hearings with Rove or anyone else, or get us out of Iraq (as they promised during the last election), or anything else that you think your going to accomplish by continuing to do the same things that we have been doing for the last 5 years; You're as crazy as I used to be.
If you have a Representative that has not signed up for Impeachment:
Simply email your Representative & let them know that unless Congress starts Impeaching, then you will not give them any of your time or money and you're not going to vote for them.
Most importantly cc: your Senators, your local & State Democratic Party Headquarters, the DNC, the DLC & even the Obama Campaign so that everyone in the Party knows of your outrage. This step is crucial. as the Blank Vote Initiative cannot remain a secret in order to be effective. The Party, as a whole, needs to realize how disgusted you are. Otherwise, your Rep is just going to ignore you (again). This is very simple & effective. Channel your passion to this Action & we might still have a chance. If you're waiting for Conyers to do something, it isn't going to happen unless We the People demand it!

Iran Attack More Likely With Low Oil Prices
Iran attack more likely with low oil prices
By Nick Mottern | UPI.com
If the Bush administration is hawkish enough to attack Iran or support an Israeli attack before it leaves office, the drop in world oil prices to the $80 to $90 a barrel range may give it enough of a cushion against the consequence of skyrocketing oil prices.
The administration may gamble that a quick, tightly targeted strike against Iran's nuclear facilities would bring only a brief, modest spike in oil prices, with the price settling back down in a week's time given the apparent downward trend in world oil demand.
U.S. Army Prepares to Invade U.S.
The Prosecution Never Rests
The Prosecution Never Rests
Interview by David Comden | VCReporterOnline
Charles Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi has already put away over 100 criminals. Now he has his sights set on his biggest target yet: George W. Bush
Fabled attorney Vincent Bugliosi, who successfully prosecuted 105 of 106 felony jury trials, is most famous for his prosecution of Charles Manson and "family," which led Bugliosi to write about the Tate/ La Bianca murders in his book Helter Skelter. The book, which has sold over 7 million copies, is the best selling true-crime book in publishing history. Two of his other books, And the Sea Will Tell and Outrage, about the O.J. Simpson trial, also reached No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list. This year, he published perhaps his most controversial book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, in which he lays out his case as to why the 43rd president of the United States should be brought to justice.
Bugliosi will be appearing Oct. 10 at the Poinsettia Pavilion in Ventura.
VCR: Can you give us the summary of the case that you make against the president in your new book?
Vincent Bugliosi: I present evidence that proves, certainly, my opinion and an opinion of many, beyond all reasonable doubt, that Bush took the nation to war in Iraq on a lie under false pretenses and therefore under the law. He's guilty of murder for the deaths of over 4,000 young American soldiers [who] have died so far fighting his war in Iraq.

Impeach Them

Never in my 71 years of life have there been politicians who more deserved impeachment than George Bush and Dick Cheney.
FASCISM Came To America - Do You Agree?
FASCISM Came To America-Do You Agree? By Gene Cappa | OpEdNews.com
Ten Steps to fascism
1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
After we were hit on September 11 2001, we were in a state of national shock. Less than six weeks later, on October 26 2001, the USA Patriot Act was passed by a Congress that had little chance to debate it; many said that they scarcely had time to read it. We were told we were now on a "war footing"; we were in a "global war" against a "global caliphate" intending to "wipe out civilisation".
2. Create a gulag
Once you have got everyone scared, the next step is to create a prison system outside the rule of law (as Bush put it, he wanted the American detention centre at Guantánamo Bay to be situated in legal "outer space") - where torture takes place.
3. Develop a thug caste
The years following 9/11 have proved a bonanza for America's security contractors, with the Bush administration outsourcing areas of work that traditionally fell to the US military. In the process, contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars have been issued for security work by mercenaries at home and abroad.

The Steering Committee of the Justice Robert Jackson Conference On Prosecution of High Level War Criminals plans to demand the immediate impeachment of George W. Bush if he issues any last minute pardons covering himself or any of his subordinates. The president can be impeached and convicted even after leaving office.
The Steering Committee has released the following statement:
The presidential pardon power must not be distorted to include the power to self-pardon the president, or to pardon any staff or contractors of the executive branch, including the vice president, for crimes authorized by the president. The unconstitutionality of self pardons is discussed at length in "Pardon Me? The Constitutional Case Against Presidential Self-Pardons," by Brian C. Kalt in the Yale Law Journal, December 1, 1996: http://www.jstor.org/pss/797310
A self pardon by the President for himself or those who carried out his illegal orders to commit war crimes, said the Steering Committee of the Robert Jackson Conference, would make a mockery of the rule of law. It would, in fact, largely put an end to the rule of law. It is frankly inconceivable, said the Steering Committee, that the framers, who sought the rule of law instead of kingly tyranny, could have intended this.
The Steering Committee noted that Bush's commutation of the sentence of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who helped carry out Bush's plans, suggests the possibility of an attempted self pardon by Bush in the future. Also, the famed journalist Stuart Taylor has suggested a self pardon covering war crimes committed by Bush and his colleagues. A self pardon covering Bush and/or his subordinates, however, would require an immediate impeachment and conviction of the culprits in order to disqualify them from holding any U.S. office in the future and to avoid setting an awful precedent for future presidents to pardon their own crimes and those of subordinates.

Court Won't Force Testimony On Firings of U.S. Attorneys
Court Won't Force Testimony On Firings of U.S. Attorneys"
Issue Left to Next Congress In Victory for White House
By Carrie Johnson | WashingtonPost.com
A federal appeals court declined yesterday to order current and former White House aides to testify before a House committee about the firings of nine U.S. attorneys, leaving the next Congress to decide how aggressively to pursue the constitutional showdown.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said the dispute over the role of politics in the 2006 dismissals would not be "fully and finally resolved" by the time the 110th Congress gives way.

MD Police Put Activists' Names On Terror Lists
Surveillance's Reach Revealed
By Lisa Rein | WashingtonPost.com
The Maryland State Police classified 53 nonviolent activists as terrorists and entered their names and personal information into state and federal databases that track terrorism suspects, the state police chief acknowledged yesterday.
Police Superintendent Terrence B. Sheridan revealed at a legislative hearing that the surveillance operation, which targeted opponents of the death penalty and the Iraq war, was far more extensive than was known when its existence was disclosed in July.
The department started sending letters of notification Saturday to the activists, inviting them to review their files before they are purged from the databases, Sheridan said.
"The names don't belong in there," he told the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee. "It's as simple as that."
New Documents Reveal Unlawful Guantánamo Procedures Were Also Applied On American Soil
New Documents Reveal Unlawful Guantánamo Procedures Were Also Applied On American Soil
According to newly released military documents, the Navy applied lawless Guantánamo protocols in detention facilities on American soil. The documents, which include regular emails between brig officers and others in the chain of command, uncover new details of the detention and interrogation of two U.S. citizens and a legal resident – Yaser Hamdi, Jose Padilla and Ali al-Marri – at naval brigs in Virginia and South Carolina.
The documents were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic at Yale Law School and the American Civil Liberties Union.
"Guantánamo was designed as a law-free zone, a place where the government could do whatever it wanted without having to worry about whether it was legal," said Jonathan Freiman, an attorney with the Lowenstein Clinic at Yale. "It didn't take long for that sort of lawlessness to be brought home to our own country. Who knows how much further America would have gone if the Supreme Court hadn't stepped in to stop incommunicado detentions in 2004?"
John Nichols: Does U.S. want change, or more Cheney?
By John Nichols, Capital Times
ST. LOUIS -- Last week's vice presidential debate was really a junior presidential debate, in which Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Sarah Palin worked the issues with all the rhetorical passion and ideological positioning that we have seen in the dust-ups between Barack Obama and John McCain.
But there was one point at which Biden and Palin actually discussed what they might DO as vice president.
And Palin's response was sobering.
As a biographer of Dick Cheney and the author of a history of presidential power, I've spent the past few years not just pondering but worrying about the current vice president's determination to expand the authority and reach of his office -- and in so doing to tip the balance of the separation of powers in favor of a supercharged "unitary executive."
Bush To Provide $6.4 Billion In Arms To Taiwan
Bush to provide $6.4 billion in arms to Taiwan | BigNewsNetwork.com
The U.S. government is to sell $6.4 billion of weapons to Taiwan, the State Department announced on Friday.
State Department deputy spokesman Robert Wood said Congressional approval was required, but believes this will come quickly. A submission went to Congress on Friday afternoon.
The sales involve a range of U.S.-made weapons systems, including Patriot III anti-missile missiles, Apache attack helicopters, Harpoon missiles, and Javelin anti-tank missiles.
The State Department has sponsored the sale through its appointment earlier this year of former Under-Secretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz to the State Department's International Security Advisory Board. Wolfowitz is also Chairman of the US-Taiwan Business Council, which includes a number of U.S. military contractors as members.
Bail-out Leads to Conflict of Interest Claims as Wall Street Financiers Cash In On Crisis
Bail-out leads to conflict of interest claims as Wall Street financiers cash in on crisis
New questions have been raised about the $700 billion economic bail-out of the US economy as President George W. Bush warned that the world may have to wait weeks for the benefits of the rescue package to be felt.
By Tim Shipman | Telegraph.co.UK
Experts warned the approach is laden with financial pitfalls, since it may be impossible to find independent contractors who do not have a vested interest in which debts to buy and the price at which they buy them. The companies hired to identify and buy the bad debts will have to make decisions that affect the same firms whose shares they own. In some cases they might effectively be buying up their own bad debts.

Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. plans to hire five to 10 asset-management firms as Secretary Henry Paulson establishes the government's new office for handling the financial bailout, a Treasury official said.
The department will also add about two dozen new employees, a mix of bankers, lawyers, accountants and others, the official said today on condition of anonymity. The Treasury's first attempt to hold an auction to buy troubled assets from financial firms will take at least four weeks to set up, said the official.

Pin-Up Girl Tells How She Spotted Suitcase Stuffed With Cash
Rory Carroll | GuardianUK
The 'suitcase girl' who discovered $800,000 in cash and ignited a political scandal across South America - then capitalised on it to forge a career as a Playboy pin-up - has relived her moment of glory in a Miami courtroom.
María del Luján Telpuk, 28, an Argentinian former airport security officer, is testifying in court about the moment she intercepted a suitcase and provoked a row between the governments of Argentina, Venezuela and the US. Claims of high-level corruption, cover-ups and vendettas have followed and commentators have dubbed the scandal 'Maletagate'; maleta is Spanish for suitcase.
Despite Ruling, Detainee Cases Facing Delays
Despite Ruling, Detainee Cases Facing Delays
By William Glaberson | IHT.com
When the Supreme Court ruled in June that detainees at Guantánamo had the right to challenge their detention in U.S. government court, the justices said that after more than six years of legal wrangling the prisoners should have their cases heard quickly because "the costs of delay can no longer be borne by those who are held in custody."
But nearly four months later, as the Bush administration has opened a new defense of its detention policies in U.S. federal court, none of the scores of cases brought by detainees has been resolved by any judge.
TomGram: The Specter of Wall Street, Wall Street's Comeback as the Place Americans Love to Hate
The Specter of Wall Street, Wall Street's Comeback as the Place Americans Love to Hate
By Steve Fraser | TomDispatch.com
Think of this as the month when Fannie and Freddie entered everyday speech as something other than friendly names, when Americans realized that WaMu wasn't an over-performing Orca at SeaWorld but a massive failing savings bank, and that Wachovia wasn't a watch brand, but a finance group, as well as the fourth largest bank holding company in the U.S.
And the faster we learned those names, the faster they disappeared into the dustbin of history. First, Bear Stearns hit the skids, then Lehman Brothers vanished into the ether just as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were being absorbed by the U.S. government. Merrill Lynch headed directly down the gullet of Bank of America. Just behind was a desperate American International Group (A.I.G.), the world's largest insurer, in a state of financial collapse, only to be bailed out by the Bush administration. Next, Washington Mutual (or WaMu) fell into the clutches of JP Morgan Chase, and
Seven Deadly Sins of Deregulation -- and Three Necessary Reforms
Seven Deadly Sins of Deregulation -- and Three Necessary Reforms
By Robert Kuttner | The American Prospect
Free-market extremists brought us this needless economic collapse. Here's a rundown of the mistakes we've made and the reforms we need now.
The current carnage on Wall Street, with dire spillover effects on Main Street, is the result of a failed ideology -- the idea that financial markets could regulate themselves. Serial deregulation fed on itself. Deliberate repeal of regulations became entangled with failure to carry out laws still on the books. Corruption mingled with simple incompetence. And though the ideology was largely Republican, it was abetted by Wall Street Democrats.
Why regulate?

There was some good news for fans of the Professional Bowling Assn. League late Wednesday night.
Dallas Strikers owner Terrell Owens said that he expected the league to hold its third season.
"I haven't heard otherwise," Owens told examiner.com as he was preparing to bowl at Corbin Bowl in Tarzana.
There had been speculation that the league's eight teams might not be brought back to compete for another season. There has been no announcement from the PBA about the 2015 season.
And ESPN hadn't responded to examiner.com's repeated queries about its plans for the 2015 PBA League season. ESPN televised the league's first two seasons but did not provide details to examiner.com about the show's ratings.
The Silver Lake (Calif.) Atom Splitters claimed the 2014 league championship in the so-called "Battle of Los Angeles," a match that was shown on ESPN. Silver Lake defeated the X, 4-2, in April in the Elias Cup finals in North Brunswick, N.J.
Owens' Strikers reached the 2013 Elias Cup finals, one of four teams to advance to the championship round. The Strikers won their opening match against the BROOKLYN STyLES, but then were eliminated by the Motown Muscle.
Owens, a six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, played 15 seasons in the NFL, accumulating more than 16,000 receiving yards. Owens, now 40, played his last season in 2010 for the Cincinnati Bengals, hauling in 42 passes for 983 yards and nine touchdowns.
He's also an excellent bowler. He and fellow owner/football player Jerome Bettis took center stage as ESPN showed both of them rolling simultaneous first balls to launch the PBA League's inaugural season in 2013.
There was no word on how Owens bowled Wednesday night at Corbin Bowl.

This is really a fantastic pitch!!
Some bouldery moves off the ground to get going, then an incredible layback/stemming dihedral! Slight spray alert, I was very psyched to onsight this thing!

Kinda scary off the ground, unprotected, sustained moves above a bad landing of tombstone shaped rocks that have probably seen their fair share of blood splatters.
Above that the gear is great, however the moves are still sustained and hard. Get ready for some exhilarating friction stems and .10+ liebacking.
A few fun and exposed moves up high and your at the anchor.

Took another crack at this route on lead last weekend. I feel like I'm a pretty competent 5.10 climber at this point and this route was very challenging for me (sustained). Technically it was well within my ability, but I lost my head and my endurance just before pulling the roof at the end of the crux.
Although the gear is great for 90% of the route, the start is... really scary. Poorly/non protected 5.10 climbing with a small .5 camalot placement 7-8 feet from the ground that will do little to protect your fall once past waist level. At it's peak scariness, your feet get up to 15 ft. off the ground until you hit some good gear.

|The bolted anchor that you traverse to out right is actually the Boothill anchor. The 'trad' way to do tombstone is to belay at the break, and then top out the second (and seldom done) pitch. But people use the boothill anchor for cragging convenience.

RADNOR, Pa. (June 8, 2011) — Cabrini College has elected two new Trustees, both graduates of the College: Nancy Costello, director of Website/Communications and Vocation Team Coordinator for the Stella Maris Province of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus; and realtor Vincent Prestileo Jr.
Their appointments are effective July 1, 2011.

We are delighted to have them on the Board."
A 1971 graduate of Cabrini, Costello has been a dedicated and active supporter of the College and its sponsor, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for four decades.

Which "folder" to drop my recorded books into?
Kinda new here and to these tiny MP3 Player "things." Lots of questions already answered by reading this great forum. Here is a silly one because I can't see the forest for the trees:
I don't understand the directory tree in my Clip+ player. I rent Recorded Books from my library in MP3 format (or I convert them to MP3 format.) I have the Clip+ set to MSC mode. Using Explorer, I drag my MP3 book into Music (since I only use this thing for books and Music is the default option upon boot up.) My book not only appears there, but also in other places (Folders)(Internal Memory) (Music....is this the same folder I see in Explorer?) I can see the book in my Music folder from an Explorer view, but can't seem to find the other instance of the book to delete it (do I have really have two copies of the book?)
So, anyhoo, can I just drag my book to the root folder or do I have to put a book in the audiobook folder? Like I mentioned, I probably will seldom if ever use use my Clip+ for any music.

You can put them anywhere you like--the Clip+ will find them and display them. The caveat:
The Clip+ will display files via their included ID3 tags, under the Clip+'s listings for album, artist, and title, or via a folder view, like on your computer. I think this is why you are seeing your files "twice" on your Clip+. It's just 2 ways of getting to the same info. (the files). But as you will see, you only see them listed once via your computer.
If you are using the folder view, the Clip+ lists the files via the file and folder names. For the ID3 tag view, the Clip+ needs the files' ID3 tags filled in (this can be done under the files' properties under Windows, or via ID3 tag editors such as MP3Tag (Internet freeware)). The exception to this: for audiobooks and podcasts, the Clip+ will default to the file and folder names if the files are placed in the Clip+'s Audiobooks or Podcasts folders and don't have ID3 tags filled in (1 reason to use those folders--I use them to help keep things organized), and will do likewise if the files' ID3 genre field is set to Audiobook or Podcast and the files are anywhere on the Clip (SanDisk did this so that the user does not need to fool around with ID3 tags much for these more transitory files).
I hope this helps. And, by the way, welcome! The Clip and Clip+ are great little players--you'll like yours.
Your information is great, Mikerman. It helps a great deal. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Glad to hear it helps--it actually makes sense, once you get used to it. Enjoy your player--would be hard without it!

I am thrilled to announce that my obsession over podcasts has led to an offer I couldn't refuse. I have been asked to take on the role of Podcasting Community Manager for New Media Expo (NMX).
I certainly was not asked based on my experience as a podcaster. (The podfader hang head in shame). What makes me a good person to fill this role is a passion for Podcasting and Podcasters. The moment I discovered podcasts about 7 ½ years ago I knew there was something special there. As a stay at home mom of a newborn at the time I desperately needed intelligent words entering my ears. Podcasts and more importantly the Podcasters behind them have kept me company ever since.
Friends say I should have earbuds surgically attached because they never see me without buds and my trusty ipod. Any moment that I am not interacting with another human being I am popping in the earbuds and listening to a podcast. A conservative estimate average of 6 hours a day for the past 7 years puts my listening at over 15 thousand hours.
While I have a few "always listen" podcasts, I also continuously try out new, or new to me, podcasts so I have a very large variety in my listening. I am always happy to check out new podcasts so send me a link to your show in iTunes to @PodcastJunky and I'll take a listen.
I also have a great love for Social Media. Hovering over a twitter or Facebook account is not work for me, it's fun. Interacting with podcasters is certainly not work. At the end of last years Blogworld LA Rick and Dave had a podcasters round table meeting. Quite a few podcasters attended and gave great feedback which was used to make Blogworld NY a better experience for Podcasters. My take on the meeting was a bit different. I looked around at all these podcasters and wondered how it was that I had eaten most meals ALONE that weekend. I had been sent by my day job and had been focusing on Bloggers but I still could have been socializing with podcasters if only there were more communication between podcasters. So I went looking for some centralized place online where lots of podcasters were talking about podcasting. When I couldn't find it I started one myself.
The Podcast Community Facebook group has grown much more quickly than I ever expected. Administering that group and keeping it healthy and spam & drama free is what I do for fun. That is why I jumped at the chance to represent NMX to Podcasters.
So here I am…listening. Tell me what you need Podcasters. I am here to serve you.
