First $kala used a fake ring girl contest, now Mauro Ranallo pervs out on Showtime!!!
Tue, 2007-09-18 10:42 — Amphibian
Female fighter disrespect highlighted by offensive quip on Showtime
The confused and distracting situation of Gina Carano's presentation to the public continued to play out Saturday night with the embarrassing help of color commentator Mauro Ranallo. Carano herself had little to be ashamed of as she extended her undefeated record with a come from behind effort that saw her secure her first ever win by way of submission with a rear naked choke on her opponent Tonya Evinger.
Apparently not satisfied with MMA television commentary on the whole's pre-existing struggles to catch up in quality to the best work of those in other sports, a none-too clever and degrading sexually charged quip from Ranallo during the Carano/Evinger fight brought about a particularly low moment in the trade's brief history. After Ranallo recounted some questionable comments in their own right from Evinger during the final pre fight press conference that included her proclamation that she'd like to "make out" with Carano but would instead settle for knocking her out, analyst Bill Goldberg attempted to side step the periphery topic (and possibly redirect to the actual events unfolding in the ring at that moment?) by saying "I'm not going to touch that one with a 25 foot pole, Mauro." Ranallo persisted, however, saying "I'd like to touch it with a 25 cm one but instead we'll just call the fight."
Its impossible to know for sure what Ranallo was referring to by "it" and his pronoun for "pole" ("one"), but it certainly seemed like the former was intended to be understood as Carano and the device he would have liked to use to touch her with, phallic. In addition to likely flattering his own endowment with the comment, Ranallo cheapened the efforts of the two fighters in the ring by objectifying them sexually instead of treating them like any other male combatant and giving the bout it's due attention.
If Ranallo were having a difficult time focusing on his work as a fight color commentator because of fantasies he may have been entertaining at the time, it would be more appropriate if he kept them to himself. I, for one, am no more concerned with what, or who, Ranallo is more interested in doing while he's supposed to be working on the air any more than I would be in what he thinks about Robbie Lawler's pectoral muscles or Murilo Rua's jaw line.
If all that happens during a women's MMA fight is more of the same of what occurs in every other area of society, that is various forms of derision and objectifying, then suddenly Showtime and Elite XC's decision to put on female fights seems a lot less significant. Ranallo's comment essentially nullified any otherwise admirable efforts to collectively give women fighters their fair shake.
The pre fight interviews, expensive mini documentaries, references to past athletic accomplishments. You can throw all their effect of developing the full character of female fighters in fan's eyes out the window if commentators choose to be this flippant. Is Carano a young woman who has overcome many challenges in her personal and professional life to become a highly skilled and conditioned athlete that is unafraid to break barriers or is she an anonymous hot babe that Mauro Ranallo would like to bang?
There is a decision to make. Of course, Ranallo is not alone in his guilt and more than likely simply felt compelled into toeing the seeming company line with regards to Carano. After all, it's hard to find any mention of the 25 year old fighter in Elite XC press releases that don't include some description of her as "sexy".
A person forming their own opinion on the appearances of others is perfectly fine, of course. But for a company to focus on something so superficial is to ignore the substantial and leads to all sorts of problems including a color commentator detailing his poking aspirations on national television.
The awkward balancing act of respect for female fighters on the one hand and then lusting after them on the other comes off as disingenuous to say the least. The cameras and announcing team both seemed to go out of their way to highlight the presence of Carano's father, Glenn Carano. Isn't it always nice to see the importance of family to so many of these fighters?
I wonder what Glenn Carano will think of Ranallo's comment when he watches the fight tape. There's little chance that he could have noticed Ranallo's innuendo and checking out of his daughter at the time, what with cheering her on and hoping for the best and all (that is to say that he was actually paying attention to the fight).
Such an offensive non-sequitur would be entirely unthinkable in other sports and should be in MMA as well. Imagine if an Olympic gymnastics television commentator took time out of describing a floor exercise to let the millions watching know how much he'd like to hit that?
If MMA wants to become mainstream it has to do more than institute weight classes, ban certain moves and seek sanctioning, it has to respect its athletes. Even if those athletes are women.
Ranallo should start by apologizing for being such an unprofessional just as publicly as he leered at Carano and follow up with a dedicated effort at calling the actual action of fights from now on instead of forcing out corny one liners that seem to be either formed way in advance or not given much thought at all. There sure was plenty of action to call that fight, after all.
Carano, known for her Muay Thai kickboxing skills entered the fight with hype surrounding her that certainly matched her talent and potential but that was probably unfair given her relative inexperience to this point. Carano was also taking on a fighter in Evinger that threatened to expose her ground skills by putting her on her back with excellent wrestling skills. Sure enough, at the bout's onset Evinger went right to work with an overhand right into a takedown that put Carano squarely on her back and underneath her opponent's cross side.
Eventually Carano was able to partially recompose and achieve a half guard position. And though Evinger showed that her ability to take the fight to the ground was better than Carano's she was unable to prove that her ability to finish it once there there was greater than her opponent's. Carano defended a couple of guillotine choke attempts from Evinger before capitalizing on the wrestler's mistake of pulling a loose half guard to lock on another guillotine hold and escaping from underneath her and taking the top position.
Soon Carano had taken the back of Evinger and once she had secured both "hooks", or legs around her opponent's waist and flattened her hips, she was able to secure the rear choke and force Evinger to tap out with seven seconds left in the three minute round.
Carano was ecstatic during her post fight interview saying, 'That was my first submission ever, that was amazing." Then after being asked to watch and comment on the replay of her fight winning hold she continued jokingly "I don't know what was going through my head I was just like, 'I just want to choke her, I just want to choke her until she doesn't breathe anymore. Why won't you die?"
Displaying gratitude and just some of the depth of character that many MMA fighters possess Carano also thanked "God and my family for always being there for me and making me the person that I am today."

yes the commentator probably shouldnt have said those things but the 25 cm pole thing was funny
yes the commentator probably shouldnt have said those things but the 25 cm pole thing was funny
but its human nature y do u think most girls like mma its not cuz they like it all that much they just wanna see muscled up guys being aggressive, and she is a lady they like to be flattered i doubt she even minds how people say shes beautiful. although she prolly didnt appreciate the pole comment but ya if you cant atleast apprecciate the comments your either a nuthugger or gay

I bought a galaxy s i9000 from a local dealer, but it turned out that imei number of that phone is blacklisted,so after I put my sim card in and enter the pin the phone tries to connect to the umts network, and it fails. So basically what I have is an expensive brick. The local dealer didn't provide any help, and unfortunately I don't have warranty. I guess there is a reason why the phone was 40% cheaper than in an normal store.
Can I use z3xbox to change imei number of a i9000 to something else? I don't need to repair the imei or get it back to factory setting. I really need just to change it.
The idea is simple. I own a new I5500 with warranty. I would like to simply take the imei number from my I5500 and using z3xbox transfer that number into i9000.
After the procedure, I would throw away my I5500 into trash, but I would have a I9000 with a normal working imei.
Is it possible to change, not repair, but to reiterate once more, to change IMEI number of a Galaxy S i9000 into an arbitrary number I myself choose?
If it is possible, I will order the box from an authorized reseller right away!
P.S. If someone doesn't want to post an answer you can PM me!

In conversation with jimmy cobb (part three)
by Ralph A. Miriello
Below is the third and final installment of Ralph Mirielloĺs in-depth interview with Jimmy Cobb. Click here for parts one and two. Cobbĺs wife -- and producer -- Eleana Tee was also present at the interview, and we thank her for her help in arranging this discussion. Cobb will be performing at Iridium from April 10-13 and again from May 9-11.
There is often great debate about who influenced Miles most about his modal approach to Kind of Blue George Russell, Gil Evans or Bill Evans or some combination of all three. What is your take on this?
There you go all three.
You have played with some of the music worldĺs most creative composers and arrangers is there anyone that stands out in your mind as a true musical genius?
Jimmy Cobb
[As we mentioned before] George Russell, Gil Evans and Oliver Nelson. I didnĺt play with him but you canĺt leave Duke Ellington out of that. Quincy Jones. Thad Jones.
What did you like about Dukeĺs particular compositions?
Duke was the man of his era. He wrote most of the music that people played [at the time] Him and little [Billy Strayhorn].
One of my most cherished records from those times is the ôliveö Smokinĺ at The Half Note with the trio and the great Wes Montgomery. Every time I listen to ôNo Bluesö or ôFour on Sixö I can feel the energy and enjoyment that you guys had playing together. Can you shed some light on this performance and working with Wes?
Well, Wes was another genius. He sat there and played all that stuff with his thumb. Thatĺs genius right there. The things he was playing, guys would look and say you canĺt do that. They didnĺt think it was possible what he was doing.
Do you think Wynton Kelly is under rated as a piano player and what was his greatest strengths on the keyboard?
Yes. He could play with anybody, accompany anybody and swing with anybody at all times -- sick, drunk, whatever.
What ultimately broke up this trio?
Well I think Paul died first. After that we went through different bass players. Then Wynton died so that took care of it. Wynton died and I had just started with Sarah Vaughn. I was in California and he was in Canada. They say he called up his girl friend and said he wasnĺt feeling well. He used to do that at certain times with us, because in the later part of his life he started getting seizures. It was something that he didnĺt have all his life.
You worked nine years behind ôSassyö Sarah Vaughn. What is most memorable about your time with her?
Every night we used to marvel at her. She could do everything good. Hell of a range and could hold a note for an hour and she was a musician. We got to go to a lot of good places. It wasnĺt the regular jazz [clubs].
At the 75th anniversary concert for David ôFatheadö Newman you played along with contemporaries like Phil Woods, Marcus Belgrave, Benny Powell and Howard Johnson as well as a revitalized Mr. Newman. Is it still fun to play with the elder statesmen of jazz?
Yeah. Because there ainĺt too many of us left. We got the same feeling about the music.
You have played with so many greats over the years. Is there any one that you wished you could have played with?
There are a lot of people. I had the opportunity to play with Benny Goodman once at a college. They needed a drummer quick, so that was an experience. I always like Benny Goodman. I played with Charlie Parker for a couple weeks in a Symphony Sid All Star kind of a thing. I must have been about 23 or 24 at the time. The Symphony Sid All Stars were Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Milt Jackson and Toots Thielemans -- he had just come from Belgium and was playing guitar.
You have certainly set a high mark for your drumming predecessors. Are there any young cats that you are particularly impressed with now?
There is bunch of them out there. There is a lot of them that I donĺt even know. Lewis Nash, some guys younger than that, Billy Cobham -- thatĺs my man he calls me his uncle -- Lenny White. Jack DeJohnette. He is my neighbor in Woodstock. I just saw Steve Gadd, his mother brought him by [in Rochester, NY] when I was in Dizzy Gillespieĺs band. They had a sit in sort of jam session on Saturdays and his mother used to bring him to those, so she asked Dizzy if he could sit in and Dizzy said yeah so I let him sit in and he played a set with Dizzy. He was about twelve years old.
As a leader you are playing with a combination of new comers as well as journeymen. On your New York Time session you play with Javon Jackson and Christian McBride as well as veteran Cedar Walton. How is it playing with theônewö kids on the block?
I like it. They feel the same way I do about the music. A lot of young guys want to [play with me] because I played with certain people and they want to be a part of that [history]. I got a Russian guitar player, his name is Illya and every chance he gets he wants to play with the older guys because he is disappointed that he wasnĺt born in the era that I was.
What is most different about playing with a guy like Paul Chambers as compared to a younger guy like Christian McBride?
Not that much difference. They are both good. They are both very good. Paul is probably the reason why McBride plays the way he does. Because all the bass players that I know revered Paul. Buster Williams, Peter Washington -- they all love Paul and ask me about him.
Your most recent working group, Cobbĺs Mob, is made up of fellow musicians John Webber on bass, Peter Bernstien on guitar and your old friend Richard Wyands on piano. Is this an attempt to revive the straight-ahead guitar quartet format reminiscent of your work with Wes. Where do you want to take this?
Yeah, they wanted to play that music. It is just something we do to have fun. I am not trying to revive all that. Weĺre just having fun, because we know we can play that way if we want to.
After a lifetime of dedicating yourself to the art of jazz, what is your proudest achievement ?
I donĺt know. To still be here. To still be above ground.
What inspires you to want to play or record a particular musical piece?
I probably have to like to do it, if it has already been done. Certain [signature] pieces that distinguish you over the yearsů sometimes I play some of those things just to remind myself of maybe Wynton and Paul, or Cannonball, Bird , MaxůI got a lot of inspiration just from being around them guys..
As a seasoned professional, do you have any advise for young upcoming players that want to make music their life?
If I am in a clinic, and they ask me the same kind of question, I say when I am in school I want to learn everything I can learn. Because when you get out of school, if you plan to make this your lifeĺs work and you have to get out into this world and this is going to be dependent of you paying your rent and all that stuff, you had better know everything you can know. Because itĺs hard enough and you want to be prepared. So whenever your break comes your way you Ĺll be ready for it, because it doesnĺt happen that much. Youĺve got to be ready when it comes.
What can we expect next from the indefatigable Jimmy Cobb?
I am going to try to make more records. I got two little girls and I want to leave them something. The youngest one is named Jamie who is twenty four ůand the oldest one named is Serena who is twenty six, she sings and dances, acts and plays the piano. Eleana, their mother, produces my records .
Some of my most recent recordings are New York Time with Christian McBride, Javon Jackson and Cedar Walton. We will be playing this album at the Iridium jazz club in New York on April 10-13th, 2008.
I made West of 5thö,a trio album with Hank Jones on piano and Christian McBride on bass and recently an album with Roy Hargrove on trumpet, Ronnie Mathews on piano and Peter Washington on bass called Cobbĺs Mob, all produced by Eleana and all on Chesky Records. In 1983 Eleana produced an album with me where Gregory Hines is singing called So Nobody else Can Hear and we may try to re-release that one soon.
I am also working as an instructor on the Drum Channel and I do drum clinics with students.
Well the beat goes on for Jimmy Cobb. Thank you Jimmy, Thank you Eleana.

i've been an admirer of jimmy cobb's work since i first heard him on the KOB album. i've always felt he was under appreciated (by fans only). this is a great interview because it gives us an insight into the man's personality and character. thanks much.

"What's Susan Sarandon doing playing a grandmother?" my friend asked, alarmed at the trailer for The Lovely Bones, in which Sarandon does indeed play a grandmother. "She's still really sexy." (And, of course, she's also our contemporary.)
Grandmother—what a loaded word! To say nothing of Grandma or (shudder) Granny.
"We're not going to kill Granny," President Obama assured us in defense of his health care plan, catching me up short, because rather than making the idea of the rumored "death panels" sound ridiculous, he somehow made the idea of an older woman sound ridiculous.
Think how much more somber his denial would have been if he had phrased it: "We're not going to kill your parents." But "kill Granny"? That's right up there with Throw Mama From the Train and "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" in terms of aging female stereotypes. Think "grandmother" and you're also thinking: old, feeble, frail, doddering, frumpy …The Andy Griffith Show's apron-clad Aunt Bee, or my own beloved grandmother, in shapeless "housedress" and laced-up, sensible black heels.
Of course, all "grandmother" really means is: You have a grandchild. And you don't even have to be old to be a grandmother—if you have your children young, and they have their kids young, you could still be in your 30s. How often have I been conned by a tabloid headline—"Grandma Beats Off Burglar!" –only to turn to the story and find a very fit, attractive woman of, say, 45, who just happens to be a grandmother. But tabloids know the power of words: "Grandma" hooks us, immediately evoking images of Granny Clampett in a flannel nightgown, wielding the nearest umbrella above her head as weapon.
Which leading actresses play grandmothers today? Shirley MacLaine (In Her Shoes), Jane Fonda (Georgia Rules), Julie Andrews (The Princess Diaries)—all comfortably in their 70s. Sarandon and Sally Field (Brothers and Sisters), both 62, seem bold for taking on the role so young. Meryl Streep has not yet tackled Granny (though she has played a nun, which is almost as good) and when Diane Keaton learned her daughter was pregnant in Father of the Bride II, she was pregnant at the same time! In a similar vein, Dianne Wiest discovered she would be a grandmother when out on a date in Parenthood. Fertile Granny—how about that??
I can't help but think of Elise, the vain, collagen-plumped actress portrayed by Goldie Hawn in The First Wives Club: Talking to a director about playing the ingénue in his next flick, she suddenly realizes he has her in mind for the mother. "I'm not Monique's Mother!" she screams, hysterical. "Angela Lansbury is Monique's Mother! Shelley Winters is Monique's Mother!" Just imagine how traumatized she would be by the notion of playing a grandmother .
I am not a grandmother, though I hope I someday will be, and I can't imagine being offended by the label. I do remember, though, the day my daughter dropped off her dog at our building and a doorman, petting the pup, said, "Oh—coming to visit Grandma?" I was puzzled, looked around, then realized: Good Lord, he means me.
How about you? What does the word "grandmother" mean to you—and how does it make you feel?

Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
Something really amiss is going on over at the Coalition for a Better Acre, this time, in regards to recent eviction notices delivered to some tenants that have seem to suggest some are in arrears going back to 2004, whereas many of those tenants have had no previous notice of such. CBA Members for Justice is hosting a rally today at 5pm to ask for a halt to the eviction process until the issue of fairness can be resolved. The press release from CBAMJ has more:
Outraged Lowell residents and CBA Members for Justice will rally on December 18 against threatened evictions of at least 80 low-income households from properties developed or owned by the Coalition for a Better Acre (CBA). The rally will start at 5:00 and take place outside the meeting of the North Canal Housing Trust, 517 Moody Street in Lowell.
"Dozens of North Canal tenants have been coming through my office day after day with these warning letters" explains Paulette Turner, Consultant to the North Canal Tenant Council and former staff of CBA's property management company Maloney Properties. "In some cases this is the first notice they're receiving of money they've supposedly owed since 2004. Then they get sent to court to sign an agreement they might not understand and can't afford, and once they break that agreement, they're out on the street."
This flood of warning notices extends beyond the CBA-developed North Canal complex, to other CBA properties on Merrimack Street and the Acre Triangle. In some cases the notices are just wrong, like one demanding $1350 from a North Canal resident - when the woman sat down with Turner to review her records, it turned out that she was actually owed a $40 credit instead. In other cases, the debt may exist, but tenants have received no prior warnings, counseling, or education about options for addressing the problem and staying in their homes.
In response to the crisis, the North Canal Tenant Council has hosted two educational meetings where tenants raised other issues. For example, constables were taping notices to the outside of people's doors, where they are accessible to passersby. They talked about suddenly receiving first-time notification for money they have supposedly owed for years, which then turns out to be an error. Maria Claudio, a long-time North Canal resident, says "This whole process is illegal and not in compliance with HUD regulations. I have been personally affected by the situation."
"It's distressing that CBA, an organization that formed to fight for justice and housing for the poor of Lowell, is now acting as a landlord that will evict people with no due process," adds Darcie Boyer, Acre resident and former CBA organizer. "We're seeing CBA's dramatic change from social justice organization to one led by the interests of bankers and developers."
The rally will demand an immediate halt to the eviction process. "CBA needs to require its property manager to sit down with the tenants and design a new process that is fair and clear to all," adds Turner. The North Canal Housing Trust, a joint body of the North Canal Tenants Council and the CBA Board of Directors, sets policy for North Canal Apartments.
This is a truly horrifying situation…although I have tried to follow the goings-on of the CBA in the past few years, there doesn't seem to be a clear source-of-truth for details about their reorganization.
You mention, ""We're seeing CBA's dramatic change from social justice organization to one led by the interests of bankers and developers.""
Would you recommend any specific source for more information about this?
If you'll note, the blockquoted text is a press release from CBAMJ. However, I should get the CBAMJ to speak on their own behalf - they've been working on this ever since the firings came down, and that community is quite large. There are a lot of personal experiences that go into that view, and I'd rather have them enumerate them than to speak for them. I'll see about getting them the opportunity to write up their experiences.
I do note the lack of media coverage in either direction other than here…which is disturbing in and of itself. To be honest, there's a lot of story here.
If you like, you can go back and read my original post on this subject back in July. Then I wrote this followup, and this report.
Oh, man, the Chavez people are going to have a field day with this.
I, for one, think it's good that the CBA is getting its act together. Except they don't seem to actually be getting their act together.
People not paying their rent and getting evicted OMG. The injustice of it. Some hadn't paid since 2004, if that is true they should get evicted. There are enough programs that they could get on to help them. I drive by North Canal everyday and there are nicer cars in there than I am driving. If it truly is a mistake then they should have nothing to worry about.
Just me, did you actually read the release? Specifically, it said that people had EVICTION notices after receiving NO notice they owed anything. Also, on further inspection, those records are wrong. Unfortunately, unless the EVICTIONS are halted, there's no time to sort anything out and people will be evicted regardless.
I don't know about you, but when someone doesn't give you notice that you owe money or time to pay it, but summarily evicts you, I call that a bit unfair.
No one is asking for there never to be an eviction…just for a fair process that allows people to react before kicking them out. I'd expect no less from my (market-rate) rentals over the years.
Joe: That's unfair, and entirely incorrect. Gee, I guess if fighting for fairness is "Chavez" like, well…count me a Chavez person.
i don't get how you can say this is an 'eviction' notice. the only use of the term 'eviction' is on the press release from this group. it appears from the actual wording of the press release (read it really carefully) that these are warning notices for people with alleged unpaid rents.
i would hope that if they are a mistake cba would correct the mistake and move on. but i don't think its fair to blame the new cba leadership if they are catching up on sloppy mistakes of the old cba leadership and ensuring that the bills are paid so that they can continue to spend their money on meeting their goals.
i guess when you say you are asking for "a fair process that allows people to react before kicking them out", i wonder what in the press release above suggests that there is not going to be a fair process?
I have a feeling these people did get notice that they owe rent… It's called "the first of the month." Who says they deserve warnings, counseling, or education? They're adults here. Time to put on the big boy pants and act like grownups. That means taking responsibility.
Yes, I realize that a couple of these people should not be evicted for whatever reason, but that's something for them to work out with their landlord - not hold a protest.
Also, you're not thinking about the consequences here. Do you know how hard it is to evict someone in this state? I know people that have lost THOUSANDS of dollars in nonpayment because the law is so stacked against them. It's one of the reasons that there is a lack of affordable housing in Massachusetts - the cost of being a landlord is much higher, so they need to charge higher rents to make a decent return on their investment.
I don't know how many times I have to say this… the government cannot just decree new laws and nullify the laws of economics.
Lynne: That you would take the accusation of being a Chavista is of no surprise to me…
So someone needs to tell them that they need to pay their rent?? Seriously, that is crazy. You rent a place you know that you need to pay rent.
The fair process is that they pay their rent. That is what is fair to the property owner. And as a former landlord they can't be evicted that easy. A 14 day notice has to be issued. They have to go to housing court, CBA will have to get attorney involved, etc.
If the notices are wrong they should have evidence of paying their rent, cancelled checks whatever. In that case they can't be evicted.
Let's remember, CBA is a not for profit company. Their interests are to help people. When rent isn't paid it hurts CBA's ability to provide additional affordable housing. It seems that Lowell has a class of people that look at housing as a right, not a privilege. The sense of entitlement is amazing. CBA provides good housing at an affordable price. They run their operation as they should– a business. Without rules and rigorous enforcement, this type of housing would not be available. BTW, I did read the article and it does not add up. Yes, there might be an accounting mistake or two but individuals know when they do not pay their entire rent. How could it come as a surprise to them? CBA does not magically take the rent from them each month. The tenant pays the rent (at least part of it depending on the level of assistance.) I realize this is 'left in Lowell' but it isn't 'communism in Lowell'. Even lefties recognize the need for individuals to live up to their responsibilities.
Is there a link to additional info somewhere that I'm missing? If not, there's a whole lot of suppositions going on here. If so…well, someone help me out here.
It seems some people are more worried that someone may not get evicted soon enough than someone getting wrongly evicted.
wow, you guys are brutal.
part of the problem is that the new CBA is very secretive. closed board meetings, hired security guards to keep people out, calling the police to escort us out. we don't know what they're doing up there.
all we know is what the tenants have told us. apparently someone told the tenants to withhold their rent. we don't know what's going on because CBA won't tell us.
it sounds like some of you would like to have no poor people in Lowell at all, maybe just white people, maybe everyone should be forced to speak English, build a wall, keep 'em all out.
i was at the rally, 25 of us shouting at a brick building for an hour in 25 degree weather, it was really fun.
i was there because I don't want my neighbors thrown out on the street in the middle of the winter.
sorry about the rant, but sometimes americans piss me off
Fighting for what's fair doesn't exclude one from being a Chavez person, either. Grown-ups recognize that agreeing with you on an issue doesn't make people above reproach across the spectrum.
You know what makes one a Chavez person? How about HANGING A POSTER OF HUGO CHAVEZ ON YOUR WALL, which at least one former CBA activist did, in the CBA offices. Did you not know that when you called me dishonest, or were you just pretending?
My statement was neither incorrect, nor unfair. It is factual, and it is accurate.
Go ahead, ask some of the freedom fighters what they think of Hugo Chavez. Tell us how what they say.
Heh, he even called himself "Hugo."
Come on, Lynne, you're supposed to be "reality-based."
And, for the record, I didn't agree with the CBA's action. I just pointed out that they're giving the Chavez people ammunition with their ham-handedness.
The question isn't whether people should pay their rents, but how the owners are going about this.
I used to be on the board of a condo association, and people honestly let their condo fee bill slip their minds all the time. Heck, I did it myself once or twice. If you don't pay it at the same time every month, you can miss one and not even notice. I imagine this is even easier if you aren't paying your rent out of your savings, but out of the money you can scrape together that month.
There are too many people having to scrape money together to get by each month. Although some may not make the effort to be responsible, the great majority of the delinquencies are well-meaning people who get trapped with too little income, too many expenses, and lenders that really don't care as long as they get a return. I recently witnessed an elderly man that was trapped by credit card debt, where he could barely pay the exhorbitant interest (30.49%), let alone reduce the principal of his outstanding debt.
However, food, housing and utilities should be at the top of everyone's budget priority. Let's hope the CBA does well by the tenants, and the tenants in turn are responsible for their bills.
That really is what it all comes down to, isn't it, waittil?
Wow - Joe and waittil - it jmust be so nice to see things so clearly and know that someone in Lowell unable to pay his or her rent is somehow a slacker who , I guess in your world view, is poor by choice and is willfully refusing to pay their rent. Makes sense to me that most people in this situation have little or no regard for their children and are happy to be evicted in the winter time. I do not know the circumstances of the CBA situaiton and why folks might be in the money fix they are in, but in case you two missed it, the MA economy is spiraling down,down, down, and there is in fact a giant sucking sound swallowing many in this city up. Budget shortfalls, falling tax revenues, foreclosures, lack of good jobs, is making it hard for folks to get by and what is happening in the CBA's housing is going on in lots of households. What happend to peace on earth and good will to men and I will add women and children. Rather than start blaming individuals, I'd like to see us take out after the crazy lenders, the slimeball credit card companies who practically beg people to use their products, the checkcashing places that rob low wage workers of 20 % of their pay to cash their check. Happy holidays and for Bill O'Reilly Merry Christmas too!!
Why don't you re-read the earlier comment(#15), Bob.
sorry waittil -haste can sometime make for dumbness
Yo voy a comentar sobre este caso, la realidad es q la MALONEY PROPERTIES no esta haciendo el trabajo como es, ya q hay muchas irregularidades, y quisiera q todo se arreglara, o q monitoreen toda esta situacion, para q no vuelva a pasar y q se le envie un comunicado al residente antes de hacer el proceso q se llevo a cabo antes.
I just don't get it here. They did not get a notice so they did not know they were three years behind? I am sure that most had good reasons for not paying but that still will not make up for the fact that someone has to pay. Who does pay if they cant? We do not live in a socialized country (Who knows maybe thats unfortunate??) but I respect the passion you have for sticking up for those less fortunate but unfortunately you are wrong.
Kim, just FYI - you might want to stop posting on older posts. I'm probably one of the few people who will see them.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Include local funding for our schools
I have been following the discussion of funding for a school and social services funding for Red Lake in your paper. I guess looking at it, I have a few questions. I understand the tax base isn't there like it is here in Bemidji (although our tax base is low also.) But I wonder...

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Red Lake needs assistance, not resistance
I read the article (May 3) about the state funding bill, specifically regarding the public works budget. I appreciate what Sen. Scott Newman had to say about the issue regarding money for construction of a new Social Services building and a school building on the reservation here...

Thank you to Karmen Clark for your open letter to the Bemidji Pioneer (April 20). I am an "old" EMT, having retired from the Bemidji Ambulance Service in 2013, and can relate to many of the scenarios you wrote about. When I say "old", it has been said that I am the oldest active EMT...

Arriving at the Sunset Bronson Studios in Los Angeles, the fans of The Arsenio Hall Show line up only feet away from the entrance gate on Thursday afternoon. The guests are excited and patiently waiting for their chance to see the late night legend. According to The St. Louis American on Friday, Arsenio Hall hilariously claimed Letterman had tapped him first to take helm of the CBS show, but watching the segment live was even funnier. This exclusive report covers our trip to a taping of The Arsenio Hall Show.
When arriving at the gate, the staff greeted fans warmly and offered up details on the show taping process. It was simple for us (and everyone else.) Fill out a release form (because you might be on TV if the cameras show the audience,) hand over the printed ticket (reserved online for free,) pass through security and get ready for a good time. A couple hundred people arrived, but the process was fast and the seats in Studio 6 filled quickly.
Once inside, the fans experience what viewers at home don't get to see. Facing the stage, the band is off to the right side and the couch where the guests sit is on the left. The audience gets a great view of the stage where Arsenio Hall gives his monologue.
The show taping is fast. The monologue, interviews, a musical performance and audience participation during the commercials makes time slip away. Arsenio Hall does interact with the audience and he makes a point to make fans feel welcome. The social media experience of the show is exciting too. You are encouraged to whip out the cameras (as long as the show is not taping) and start taking shots. Friends and family will be so jealous to see the photos online.
Seeing a legend like Arsenio Hall is cool. Add his famous guests, the show's wickedly talented band, a few surprises and the excursion offers up a moment to remember. We recommend you make a point to see The Arsenio Hall Show in person. Guests who come to the Sunset Bronson Studios might arrive as fans of the show, but they definitely will be treated like friends.

Look at what is happening in Nigeria to see the consequences when national defense resources of a government are too thin to defend remote communities. Look back at Afghanistan when Americans and free world allies neglected the place and permitted al Qaeda terrorists and Taliban to flourish there. America and its allies were drawn into Afghanistan to take down the hostile government and to pursue the terrorists. Nation building ensued in an attempt to produce a sustainable economy for Afghanistan. American military intervention drove out the Taliban and eventually killed the al Qaeda leader and founder. However, America and its allies came up short in the end. Why?
- Without the will and capability of the citizens living in Afghanistan, there is insufficient internal momentum for a self-sustaining government to succeed.
- America and its allies have limited capacity to bring about change through nation building.
- American and allied methods of producing democratic government is deficient and ineffective.
Today's news is that the CIA is shutting down some of its operations in Afghanistan. One observation cited in the story is that the Afghanistan government doesn't have the capacity to defend the territories where American and allied troops have withdrawn. Therefore, what is next?
- Return of the Taliban.
- Return of al Qaeda.
- Attacks on the west by those operating in Afghanistan.
- Robot war against enemies in Afghanistan.
By 2015, the American military will have deployed laser weapons. Add that to drone power, and that is the best we can afford.
"U.S. military concerned about CIA base closures
The Los Angeles Times' David S. Cloud reported on Thursday that the CIA is planning to close its satellite bases in Afghanistan and pull all of its personnel back to Kabul, a move that is raising concerns among U.S. military officials that they will be deprived as vital intelligence as a result (LAT). Cloud notes that CIA Director John Brennan informed military commanders in March that the agency would shutter its bases outside of Kabul, removing CIA case officers and analysts, as well as National Security Agency specialists. The withdrawal, which is coming just as the Taliban prepares for its spring offensive, has strained relations between the agency and U.S. military commanders on the ground.
While intelligence officials confirmed the planned drawdown, they said the pace was uncertain. However, they linked the CIA move to the ongoing withdrawal of U.S. military forces from the country."

Home to Positive Atheism
Go to Previous || Next
The Ten Commandments are now being posted in many public schools in the U.S.
"Thou Shalt Have No Gods Before Me." This refers to Yahweh, the volcano god of the ancient Hebrews. My parents taught me that the tales of Yahweh were fiction. When I read them, I found Yahweh to be quite brutal, unworthy of my admiration. Yahweh is a false god. I resent being told that falsehood is truth, that evil is good.
"Thou Shalt Not Make Graven Images." The Bible ban includes "any thing that is in heaven above." The science teacher had us build a model of the solar system. Roman Catholics omit this Commandment.
"Thou Shalt Not Take the Name of the Lord Thy God In Vain." It says I will not be held guiltless -- even though it is not my god, even though I have no clue what it means to take its name in vain. The anthropology teacher said that primitive peoples believed a name had magical powers.
"Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep It Holy." Is this the Jewish Saturday? the Islamic Friday? the Egyptian Thursday? the Syrian Wednesday? the Persian Tuesday? the Greek Monday? No. It is the Christian Sunday, now that our schools establish the Christian religion by posting its laws.
"Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother." My parents are upright and very honorable; to this, all will agree. Bill's father molested him and tried to molest me. I wanted to tell someone. "No," said Bill. "He is my father!"
"Thou Shalt Not Kill." But Yahweh also said to kill all Amorites -- men, women, and children (Dt. 3:1-8). Elsewhere, he ordered them to keep the virgins for themselves (as sex slaves -- Num. 31) and to sacrifice 32 virgins as "the Lord's tribute" (Num. 31:40).
Many say this means "Thou Shalt Not Murder." Should the public schools decide this? And is dashing children against the stones (Is. 13:16; Ps. 137:9) anything, if it's not murder? Yet all this was commanded by Yahweh -- the god our public schools want me to honor. Meanwhile, all nations have laws prohibiting murder.
"Thou Shalt Not Steal." A dog will snarl when another tries to take his bone from him. He needs no god to tell him stealing is wrong. Are we humans so vastly inferior that we need supernatural instruction? Joseph Lewis said this law originally meant don't move landmarks, statues thought to be alive. This is the only law against stealing in the entire Bible. Rabbi Benjamin Sendrow says a good case can be made that it refers to kidnapping. Which is it?
"Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." Er, children are supposed to know this?
"Thou Shalt Not Bear False Testimony Against Thy Neighbor." Against thy neighbor!? Why only "against thy neighbor"? If it's wrong for one, it's wrong for all, isn't it? Or is it? As I studied the Bible more closely, I discovered that one's "neighbor" is one's fellow religionist. We of other faiths (or no faith) are fair game for false accusation.
"Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Goods." This includes such property as a man's house and his wife. Yes, his wife is his property, as are his oxen, so don't covet her. Joseph Lewis shows that "coveting," in the biblical sense, means the "evil eye" -- casting a spell to get something for nothing.
No. This must be stopped at all costs.

Israel and India celebrate 20 years of diplomatic relations
Israel and India celebrate today 20 years of diplomatic relations. In the background of these young and dynamic relations stand the ancient ties between the Jewish and Indian peoples, dating back over 2000 years. Today, Israel and India share an intimately close and special relationship encompassing virtually every field of human endeavor.
Israel-India - 20 years of diplomatic relations
Israel and India celebrate today 20 years of diplomatic relations. In the background of these young and dynamic relations stand the ancient ties between the Jewish and Indian peoples, dating back over 2000 years. In the course of history, Jewish communities throughout India received the warmest hospitality and played an integral role in their surrounding societies.
Today, Israel and India share an intimately close and special relationship encompassing virtually every field of human endeavor. From trade to education, from agriculture to science and technology, from energy and water to homeland security - Israel and India today work together in a vast variety of fields, some of which are no less than existential to them both.
At the core of these multifaceted relations lie the values, the interests and the challenges that Israel and India share. Both countries are open and free democracies that embrace modernity and progress whilst preserving their ancient heritage and history. Both countries strive to achieve stability, human development and economic growth for the well-being of all their citizens. Both countries also face a large number of threats and difficulties ranging from the scourge of terrorism to water and energy scarcity. It is these commonalities that make the connection and collaboration between Israel and India so natural and fertile.
The remarkable development of bilateral trade in the past 20 years is an unequivocal example of the vector of Indo-Israel ties. In 1992, the annual trade between Israel and India stood at a mere $180 million. By 2011, the annual civilian trade between the two countries, diversified and well balanced, had expanded almost thirty fold to surpass $5 billion. Both countries have expressed their intention to finalize a Free Trade Agreement by the end of this year, a development which is expected to further invigorate and diversify bilateral trade.
One of the key pillars of the relationship is the cooperation in the field of agriculture. Food security is more than ever a critical concern for both countries. In cooperation projects across India, Israeli technology and knowhow is being demonstrated and shared with Indian farmers, and joint Indian and Israeli agricultural R&D is conducted on the ground. The recently finalized three-year action plan sets the path for the establishment of 27 projects across 7 States in India in various fields. This cooperation will no doubt benefit the Indian farmer and consumer and is already playing a significant role in India's efforts to ensure food security to all its citizens.
Both Israel and India have excelled in the research and development of science and technology. At present, new platforms are being created for both government and private sectors to jointly enhance scientific innovation in crucial fields such as clean-tech and life sciences.
Unfortunately, Israel and India both suffer from the scourge of terrorism. Both societies have shown remarkable resilience and determination to ensure that life and freedom will prevail. The horrendous attacks in Mumbai in November 2008, in which Indians and Israelis alike were targeted, only strengthened the bond between the two nations and the understanding that only through concerted efforts, can terrorism be defeated.
Last month, the
Minister of External Affairs of India, Mr. SM Krishna, conducted a historical visit to Israel
and met with the Israeli leadership in Jerusalem. During the visit,
President Shimon Peres
referred to India as "the greatest democracy on earth." Prime Minister Netanyahu said that "India and Israel are two ancient peoples seizing the future."
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman
appreciated India's approval of the opening of an Israeli Consulate General in Bangalore, a preeminent hub of high tech in India. This will be Israel's third mission in India after
New Delhi
The 20th anniversary of relations between Israel and India will be marked throughout the year, in Israel and in India, with an elaborate array of cultural events. We stay committed to building upon the remarkable achievements of the last two decades, to further develop this promising relationship in the decades to come, for the benefit of both nations.

Three Red Raiders Named Preseason All-Big 12 by Perfect Game
Three Red Raiders were named to Perfect Game's Preseason All-Big 12 team
Feb. 8, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas - A trio of Texas Tech baseball players were named to Perfect Game's preseason All-Big 12 team, the website announced Tuesday.
The college baseball website named junior center fielder Barrett Barnes, junior second baseman Jamodrick McGruder and sophomore utility player David Paiz to its preseason all-conference list. All three Red Raiders have earned Freshman All-America honors during their Texas Tech careers.
Texas A&M led the way with five players on the team of 14 selections while the Red Raiders and Texas were the only other teams with three players honored.
Barnes (Sugarland, Texas) is coming off back-to-back All-Big 12 seasons, including his freshman year where he was named Big 12 Freshman of the Year and also selected to numerous Freshman All-America teams. Last season he batted .290 (62-for-214) with 47 runs, 15 doubles, 10 home runs, 38 RBI and 19-of-21 stolen bases.
Barnes has played in 114 games as a Red Raider with a .316 career batting average with 118 runs scored, 34 home runs and 91 RBI with 31-of-36 career stolen bases.
McGruder (Mesquite, Texas), who earned All-Big 12 honorable mention last season along with being named a Collegiate Baseball Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American in 2010, batted .293 (51-for-174) last season with 38 runs, four triples, two home runs, 29 RBI and grabbed 28-of-34 stolen bases.
McGruder is currently the Big 12's active career stolen base leader with 51-of-61 stolen bases in two seasons of action. He ranked among the nation's elite last season with 25 hit-by-pitch and a .470 on-base percentage.
Paiz (Austin, Texas) was a Collegiate Baseball Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America selection last season after serving as a dual threat in the middle of the Red Raiders order and while serving as the Friday-night starting pitcher during his first collegiate season.
Paiz earned All-Big 12 first team last year while being named to the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Watch List. He became just the eighth Red Raider to earn first team all-conference honors as a freshman and was one of only three freshmen in the country named to the Olerud Watch List. Paiz batted .284 with 13 doubles, two homers and 21 RBI while going 3-5 with a 6.93 ERA in nine starts and 17 appearances on the mound with 50.2 innings pitched, one save, 34 strikeouts and 17 walks allowed.
Perfect Game also provides a list of its "Top 50 MLB Draft Prospects" while ranking freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors into one group. Four Red Raiders made the list.
Barnes was tabbed the No. 12 overall prospect (No. 7 among draft-eligible players for 2012), sophomore right-handed pitcher Trey Masek ranked No. 23 (No. 5 among the 2013 draft class), McGruder ranked No. 28 (No. 2 among draft-eligible infielders) and redshirt sophomore right-handed pitcher Duke von Schamann was ranked No. 48 overall in the league.
Below is a projected round for each of Perfect Game's selections on the Texas Tech roster:

According to a report from IGN, anyone who registered for Final Fantasy XIV before 11:59 PM PDT on September 9th will get an extra week of gameplay, completely free. Since its launch, Final Fantasy XIV has had several server issues which caused players to rage on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. Does this compensation make things right for you?
Final Fantasy XIV Players To Receive Compensation
On their official page the post read:
"Since the beginning of official service on August 27, 2013, the number of users attempting to access the game has significantly exceeded our initial estimates. While we are pleased to see support for the game reach far beyond our expectations, the servers were not prepared to handle this influx of players. As a result, our servers have been pushed beyond maximum capacity. "In order to allow access to as many users as possible, we have implemented login and character creation restrictions. We understand, however, that these restrictions have greatly inconvenienced our players. "Because login and character creation restrictions have hindered our ability to provide quality service, all Final Fantasy XIV service accounts will receive an additional seven days of free play time."
"To resolve this issue, we will be performing maintenance from September 3, 2013, at 5:00 PM to September 4, 2013, at 3:00 AM PDT, for the purpose of increasing the number of available Worlds, reducing stress on the Duty Finder servers, and increasing the number of concurrent log ins allowed for each server."
Let us know what you think about Square Enix trying to compensate their players for their many server issues.

This question (and some more research) has revealed that OpenVPN isn't for me. So, what are my other options? In particular things I need/want (most important first) are:
- A server daemon that runs on Linux without kernel modules
- Clients work from behind NATs and Firewalls.
- Free/FOSS
- Support for PPTP, L2TP or L2TP/IPSec PSK/CRT
- A architecture that makes all accesses equal: if the server is to have access to the VPN, then it must be a client. Just like everyone else.
- Minimal configuration/state.
The first 3 are must haves and the last is a nice to have. The rest I could live without, but then again I could also live with nothing.
