How the Crash Will Reshape America
" ... the recession, particularly if it turns out to be as long and deep as many now fear, will accelerate the rise and fall of specific places within the U.S.—and reverse the fortunes of other cities and regions." From The Atlantic Online - How the Crash Will Reshape America
The Price Of Breakfast Is Eternal Vigilance!
The Top 10 Rightblogger Stories of 2008. Can it really have been almost two months since the U.S. presidential election? It seems like a long time ago that bloggers on the right were claiming Obama killed his grandmother and denouncing WALL-E, but this list does a pretty good job of summarizing what got them all riled up in 2008.
Washington to Obama
America has come a long way. There is the official version of history or the peoples' version. There are artifacts and rankings. They had some quirks and were occasionally men of their time. If you prefer audio or visual references those are available as well. Common knowledge has it that one GW was our first President but the title of first is under dispute. 230 years later another GW is making a run for worst. That is also under dispute by the nations best brains. For better and worse, the story of the Presidency is the story of America.
Team Lioness - Female Soldiers in Combat in Iraq
Team Lioness is the name given to a group of female soliders, (and the documentary about them) who were some of the first women in modern American warfare to engage in frontline combat — something that is officially forbidden by the military. "The female support soliders were assigned to the 1st Engineer Battalion and they were recruited to accompany Marine units during raids. Originally, the female soldiers were there to search and detain any women they came upon and to guard the unit's Arabic interpreter. Over time, however, as the situation in Ramadi deteriorated, the Marine units transitioned into a more offensive role, baiting insurgents into firefights in order to draw them out. Until officers higher up the chain got spooked over the possibility of a female soldier killed in combat and quietly disbanded the unit, members of Team Lioness were often right in the thick of things, including some of the fiercest urban firefights of the Iraq War."
Syria's business
"US helicopter raid" in Syria. Could this be an October Surprise? Many have hinted this election's October Surprise will be the capture of Osama Bin Ladin or a resurgence of terrorist activity. As we recall, news media had jumped on a McCain Aide who claimed a terrorist attack would benefit McCain in the Election.
U.S. Ex. Ex. 1838-1842
The United States Exploring Expedition, 1838-1842 — Authorized and funded by the U.S. government, six ships sailed with 346 men (including officers, crew, scientists, and artists) on a four-year scientific and surveying mission, logging 87,000 miles around the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. Two ships and 28 men were lost, and the Expedition's contentious commander Charles Wilkes was court-martialled for his erratic behavior, and was sued by former officers and crew members. During the Civil War in 1861, he boarded a British ship, seized two Confederate agents, and nearly provoked military retaliation by England (he was court-martialled once again in 1864 for insubordination.) Wilkes' 1845 Narrative of the United States Exploring Expedition and the Ex. Ex.'s journals were published by Congress, and some 40 tons of Expedition specimens and artifacts became the foundation of the Smithsonian Institution's collections. [Nathaniel Philbrick (video lecture) chronicles this almost-forgotten voyage in his 2003 book Sea of Glory (NYT review).]
Andrew Lahde's goodbye letter
Retiring hedge fund manager Andrew Lahde: "All of this behavior supporting the Aristocracy, only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other side of my trades. God bless America."
The Iron Heel
The Iron Heel, published a century ago this year, is a novel by Jack London about socialist revolution in the United States. It is set mostly between 1912 and 1932, with a foreword and numerous footnotes written from the point of view of a historian who has just discovered the manuscript some 700 years later. Here is an excerpt (which is printed on the back cover of some editions) from chapter five:
"This, then, is our answer. We have no words to waste on you. When you reach out your vaunted strong hands for our palaces and purpled ease, we will show you what strength is. In roar of shell and shrapnel and in whine of machine-guns will our answer be couched. We will grind you revolutionists down under our heel, and we shall walk upon your faces. The world is ours, we are its lords, and ours it shall remain. As for the host of labor, it has been in the dirt since history began, and I read history aright. And in the dirt it shall remain so long as I and mine and those that come after us have the power. There is the word. It is the king of words--Power. Not God, not Mammon, but Power. Pour it over your tongue till it tingles with it. Power."

Give me your coded, your rfid tagged, your addressed masses
As simple as a typo. Your vote in the 2008 U.S. election won't [2:00-9:00] count if voter caging parties can help it. Vote caging works basically like this - (1) Send do-not-forward mail to the address listed on your registration. (2) If it comes back return to sender, your registration is challenged and can be thrown out without notice. "A challenged voter will likely cast a provisional ballot....Nearly a third of all 1.6 million provisional ballots cast in 2004 were thrown out." Previously (somewhat). [more inside]

Stemming from a lawsuit that has gone on for several years, a recent Court of Appeals ruled that the U.S. government must make bills with distinguishable tactile features to benefit the blind. While the U.S. government disagrees, the judges say: "The government might as well argue that, since handicapped people can crawl on all fours or ask for help from strangers, there's no need to make buildings wheelchair accessible."

On Having A Black Name
On Having A Black Name "I am a white woman, a blond, blue-eyed white woman, and I have a first name strongly associated with black women. My mother, a southerner by birth, never stopped telling me she made the name up. The fact that she truly could not remember ever hearing the name before, is a testament to the strength of southern segregation. It is likely she heard it once or twice, and simply forgot it until later. And so, even at 50 years old, I have a name that makes people do a double-take. "You're _____?" is something I have heard all my life. "Yes, that would be me," is what I say, as they look confused. I have upset the social order. Names, I have learned, are a big, big part of it."

Secret authorization of severe interrogation methods
Secret U. S. Endorsement of Severe Interrogations. The New York Times has a 4000-word report today on secret Justice Department opinions--never previously disclosed--authorizing severe interrogation methods. Congress has outlawed cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment; in response, Justice declared that the CIA's most extreme interrogation methods are not cruel, inhuman, and degrading. These secret opinions, issued in 2005, are still in effect. Most lawmakers did not know they existed. White House response: "This country does not torture."

Information that potentially can be used includes "racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership" and data about an individual's health, traveling partners and sexual orientation. "Even a request for a king-size bed at a hotel could be noted in the database." "E.U.'s privacy supervisor expressed 'grave concern' over whether the rules 'will be fully compatible with European fundamental rights,' calling the arrangement 'without legal precedent.'"

"In 2003, Americans spent an estimated US$5,635 per capita on health care, while Canadians spent US$3,003... Canada's single-payer system, which relies on not-for-profit delivery, achieves health outcomes that are at least equal to those in the United States at two-thirds the cost."

"SeaWorld bespeaks the essence of Orlando, a place whose specialty is detaching experience from context, extracting form from substance, and then selling tickets to it."
"All over Orlando you see forces at work that are changing America from Fairbanks to Little Rock. This, truly, is a 21st-century paradigm: It is growth built on consumption, not production; a society founded not on natural resources, but upon the dissipation of capital accumulated elsewhere; a place of infinite possibilities, somehow held together, to the extent it is held together at all, by a shared recognition of highway signs, brand names, TV shows, and personalities, rather than any shared history. Nowhere else is the juxtaposition of what America actually is and the conventional idea of what America should be more vivid and revealing."

Economic States
California = France? Norwegian bløgger Carl Størmer (via THE BIG PICTURE) made a U.S. map substituting the state names for other countries of equivalent GDP. Some of the substitutions are funny: Illinois = Mexico? Texas = Canada? New Jersey = Russia? Hawaii = Nigeria? Oregon = Israel? But your economic mileage will vary: apparently California no longer has the "sixth-largest economy in the world", no matter what The Governator says. Wikipedia chimes in, while some Californians don't want to be bothered with facts.
Samantha Smith
In 1982, ten-year old Samantha Smith from Maine wrote a letter to Yuri Andropov asking whether there was going to be a nuclear war. Andropov responded, and Samantha accepted his invitation to stay at a Russian pioneer camp with Soviet children. Tragically, within the following two years both the young Samantha and Secretary Andropov passed away. (wmv)

Arar Commission Releases Report
Yesterday, the Arar Commission released their report on the handling of the Maher Arar case, previously mentioned here or here. The findings are widely reported; Canada is self-flagellating for being complicit in the United States' abduction and torture of a Canadian citizen. As President Bush goes to Congress to lobby for the legal authority to abduct and torture anyone without a trial, Arar should consider himself lucky: although Canada didn't help him out for a year, the Canadian government and news media were aware of and interested in his confinement, which likely saved him from the worst tortures. As a famous legal scholar commented some 240 years ago, "To bereave a man of life, or by violence to confiscate his estate, without accusation or trial, would be so gross and notorious an act of despotism, as must at once convey the alarm of tyranny throughout the whole nation; but confinement of the person, by secretly hurrying him to jail, where his sufferings are unknown or forgotten, is a less public, a less striking, and therefore a more dangerous engine of arbitrary government."

Red tape? Wayne Mills Co. Inc. thrives on it.
Not the torturous-regulation kind, but the thin woven ties behind the expression "cut through the red tape."
Last year, Wayne Mills supplied more than 100,000 yards of it, used mostly in courthouses and law offices to bind official documents. The 104-year-old North Philadelphia weaver of narrow fabrics has had that line of business since the 1940s.
Not that this manufacturer of rare longevity is a one-trick loom.
Housed in a redbrick complex with Southern yellow pine floors and wood-beam ceilings across the tracks from SEPTA's Wayne Junction station, Wayne Mills exists now - into the sixth generation of its founding family, the Milneses - because, like the yarn it weaves, it has remained pliable.

Awakino River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Awakino River is a river located in the North Island of New Zealand. It has been described as one of the great rivers in the North Island providing top-quality backcountry fishing. It holds excellent stocks of rainbow trout and brown trout in a beautiful setting.[1] Awakino township lies on its river banks.[2]
River route[edit]
The river rises in the rugged bush country of the King Country and flows south via the settlement of Mahoenui from where it runs alongside State Highway 3 to the Tasman Sea at Awakino.[1]

I'm a fan of the series so it's not like I was disappointed because of the concept of WW games.

Well I never expected it to be "the ultimate" Warioware if Touched ever taught me anything. I guess that's the reason why I don't hate it as much as most Warioware fans.Originally Posted by bugmenot
I think it's a good game, but I agree with some other posters; you have to approach it with the right attitude. It's not a Twilight Princess or Red Steel game where the goal is to get to the end. It's more of a "enjoy the journey" type game. It's a little too easy the first time you play through a set, but it's fun just to see the new stuff. After that it's actually fun to play through some of the higher levels.
I thought the game store level was pretty fun. I liked all the earlier Nintendo throw backs.
I love it. It's fun, funny, and its fast paced.
When I have friends over that is the game we basically all play.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
I brought it to a party.
And it was like, the MOST PLAYED GAME.
Moreso than Guitar Hero II.
And it's great fun with friends.
But only after the "What? What was I supposed to do?" phase.
That turtle has a brief case. It must be going to work. I hope it has a good day.
The game itself would be alright if they weren't charging full price for it. It's a $20 game at best.

Great tasting mocha, which left me satisfied and was a great way of getting protein, compared to the usual shakes which can become too repetitive. My only comment would be that the texture is very foamy, but tastes and smells lovely!!
I have tried a sample of this protein Mocha and the taste is just amazing. I can't differentiate it from a real Mocha (yes the one with plenty of sugar). I definitely recommend it ! Well done Myp !Goes Well With:Breakfast
I tried the protein mocha today and had it hot, and it tasted great. It was a nice alternative to my regular protein and an easy way to get additional protein into my routine.
Nice taste, easy to make Goes Well With:Protein biscuit
Love this! Great tasting drink. I mix mine in my nutra bullet which I find the best way. I have tried it with milk , half and half with milk and water and all work very well. I bought a big bag so happy now!Goes Well With:Everything thank you!
Found this very sweet, only need half the quantity to full liquid
Great tasting mocha coffee drink will defenetly buy again Goes Well With:Chocolate biscuit
Sooooo delicious and satisfying !!! Favourite product so far.
Terrible tasting rubbish mixability. Creates a globy residue at the bottom of mixer/mug. Tastes of the pancake mix
I took a sample and it taste just like a regular coffee so nothing to say about taste I highly recommend it to those who want a coffee with protein Goes Well With:Milk
I love love love the protein mocha!! It doesn't have any horrible after tastes, mixes really well, consistency is amazing for being mixed with water! I mixed mine in a shaker then microwaved in a jug after previous comments of sticking, it didn't stick to the jug at all, then I just poured in my mug. Totally yummy! Like one of those ready to mix high sugar content sachets you can get but with a decent protein hit. I'll def be buying this in bulk! Goes Well With:Water
I really enjoyed the taste of this mocha drink. I added it to water, gave it a good shake in my mixer & then heated for about 1 min 20 sec in the microwave. The only reason I knocked of a point is because it was too frothy for me. But aside from that, tastes great & mixes wellGoes Well With:Water
This is delicious coffee. Like most Mocha it's on the sweet side, but it isn't overpowering. It mixes well with cold milk & water, however if you mix it in a shaker you need to let it stand until all foam has dissipated or it will froth over in the microwave!
very good product I'll buying this product soon :)
Tried this sample 1 with hot water - wasn't that great as it didn't mix overly well BUT mixed this with whole milk and it's AMAZING! can't tell the difference from a mocha you'd buy from a coffee shop! Goes Well With:Whole milk
I don't have coffee often, but if it tasted like this I would probably have it more often - frothy with some foam and tasted good!Goes Well With:stevia
Got this protein mocha for a little sweet treat. It has enough coffee and also taste delicious. Great replacement to a normal milky coffee with an extra protein dose. Goes Well With:with water
I tried the (sample) Mocha and was pleasantly surprised. The reasons why I haven't given it 5 stars: Has quite a sweet taste (I haven't taken sugar in tea or coffee for over 30 years) Mixes well, but comes out very frothy The froth sticks like glue to your mug, so is a nightmare to wash up afterwards These points aside, I would still recommend this and would buy it again. If there was a 'no added sugar' version, even better!Goes Well With:Anything you fancy
Made it with hot water, like you would a coffee, taste was a little week to me, going to try next one with milk only though.
This protein mocha has been the best discovery I've made! It tastes really good, it's like drinking ordinary mocha, and it adds some protein to your diet. I have it everyday for breakfast and I absolutely love it!!

If you think your spouse is cheating on you, it can be a real emotional roller-coaster ride of emotions and self-doubt.
I'd like to share a few clever ways to catch a cheating spouse so you can know for sure if you're the only person in your partner's life.
Isn't It Time You Discovered the Truth?
Here are three things to keep in mind to know how to catch a cheating spouse:
First, check their bank account activity. Is there a lot of unusual charges? Or are the charges coming at unusual times? Affairs cost money and if your spouse is having an affair, chances are good that they are spending money on dates or secret rendezvouses.
If your spouse is "working late" again, look at the bank account and see if there were any ATM withdrawals or dinners at fancy restaurants during another "late night at the office." Make sure the bank account is telling the same story that your spouse is.
If you want to know how to catch a cheater, you might want to keep up to date on bank account activity and make sure that the facts make sense when you add them up.
Second, a new hobby out of the blue. Another good way to catch a cheating spouse is to see if he takes up any sort of new hobby unexpectedly.
If your spouse is cheating, a new hobby could be an excuse to get out of the house and meet up with the other person. They can simply grab their bowling ball and head out of the house for a few hours to the "bowling alley."
A new hobby might also be a way of learning more about a subject in order to impress his new lover. Look for new interests that are out of character with what he usually is interested in. If he's a sports nut, it might be worth digging deeper if he suddenly takes an interest in modern art.
Here's a tip on how to catch a cheater: if you think he's using his hobby as an excuse to meet someone, you can always quiz him on the subject or offer to go out with the "bowling team" one night.
Third, your spouse might start arguments out of nowhere. If your partner seems to be much more likely to pick a fight with you than normal, then this could be a clue that he's having an affair. If you want to know what this has to do with how to catch a cheating spouse, it is really two-fold.
In one way, it gives him the opportunity to get out of the house to cool off. If the two of you just had some kind of argument, then it is easy to use it as an excuse to leave to go see the other woman.
But it is also a way for him to mentally justify having an affair. Creating conflict in your relationship will help to distance him from you and make it seem more acceptable to him to have the affair.
If you'd like a little tip on how to catch a cheater, maybe one of these times, you can follow him after your argument and see where he goes.
To catch a cheating spouse in a web of lies you need to make sure the story they are telling you matches what is really going on. You might need to do a little sleuthing on your own to catch a cheating spouse, for example unexpectedly meeting your spouse at work during their lunch break. But these signs here are huge clues that you've got a cheater on your hands.

"Pop long since ate itself, and this is what came out the other end."
Yes, I wish I wrote that. This snazzy little sentence was published on TheGuardian.com, via the U.K. paper's music blog. On top of being very hilarious, and a little bit gross, the statement is also a reference to the just-announced "BBC Sound of 2014," a list of "artists to watch for" in the coming year.
The Guardian writer's gripe? That 12 of the top 15 artists on the "Sound of 2014" list are solo acts; the other three are duos. The subtext here, duly noted by the Guardian writer, suggests that bands – which we'll define here as groups of human beings playing instruments, singing and manipulating technology in real time – have fallen out of favor.
Well, boohoo. Go ahead, cry, and get it out of your system. For, as newsy and depressing as this sounds, it isn't actually news. The past decade has seen a major industry shift away from the band concept, and toward the "single superstar" blueprint. Why? Well, though the public seems eager to lap up a lot of this prefabricated pop-icon nonsense, in point of fact, what they're doing isn't so much voting in favor of their personal taste, as falling in line with what the music industry as a whole has mapped out for them.
The reason is a simple one, but no less nefarious for that fact. And it all comes down to ... wait for it ... yes, money. Major labels are no longer interested in backing bands – groups of individuals who like to eat while they're on the road, require money for equipment and tour support, and most offensive of all, need time to create meaningful art. Often, bands take a while to build an audience. Their first album or two might not sell all that amazingly well. They require investment.
Individual superstars, by contrast, are more pliable. They want superstardom, and are willing to play ball in order to get it. Many of those who fit this slightly generalized pop star model are able to go on the road with either a DJ or a collection of backing tracks. The bands and dancer entourages come later, after Pop Star X has made tons of money for all involved, and paying for a band has become a drop in the proverbial bucket.
It's pretty much that simple – solo stars are far less expensive to churn out than successful bands.
Simultaneous with this solidification of the music industry's "anti-band" stance is the fact that bands are having an incredibly difficult time of it these days, due to the mildly inconvenient reality that listeners are stealing their music, rather than paying for it. Internet sharing, and the paltry royalties being paid out by streaming sites, have put bands up against the wall.
We can trace this bummer of a perfect anti-band storm, as we can trace most things that are lame and embarrassing about modern popular music, back to Simon Cowell and his like. "X Factor," "American Idol" and even "The Voice" have glorified and venerated the cult of the individual pop personality. Singing in tune and looking good on TV has become analogous to an NBA dunking contest – you slam the most balls through the hoop while looking awesome in your line of overpriced sneakers, and you win the prize. Of course, music and professional sports should not have much in common. But it is this idea of "winning a talent contest" that started the rot that has now fully set in. And we can thank the Cowells of the world for this little gift.
The BBC list is stuffed full of pop stars in waiting that most of us on this side of the pond haven't heard of yet, but if all goes according to plan, we will be falling in love with them by the time spring rolls around. Interestingly, more concrete support for the idea that bands have fallen out of favor comes via Spotify's publishing last week of its top 10 most streamed tracks of 2013. Of the 10, there are only two that qualify as bands – Imagine Dragons and the Lumineers. The rest are solo acts or duos, and most of them are artists whose work has been created on a laptop computer.
For bands, things look a bit bleak at present. Time to get real, then. And while getting real, you also might want to consider getting a day job. Or making the full commitment to a life on the road, because touring and merchandise sales at concerts are the only chance you have of making a living.

He is survived by his wife of over 40 years, Gerry St. Germain Malone; his three children and her three children, all six of whom they shared, Bernard L. Malone, III and wife Brenda; Cynthia Malone Hunt and husband Jerry; Elizabeth Malone Troia and husband Carl, Sr.; Myles D. Schexnayder; Todd P. Schexnayder and wife Melissa; and Lisa Schexnayder Perdue, M.D. and husband Paul. He will be missed by his grandchildren, Sophia and Chloe Malone; Timothy, Alexandra and Jacob Hunt; Carl Troia, Jr. and wife Amy; Rose Guagliardo and husband Corey, and Mary Troia; Aaron Schexnayder; Fletcher and Marie Perdue; and his two great grandchildren, Mia Troia and Louis Troia. He is also survived by the mother of his children, Marti Blasco Didier, and a host of long-time friends. He was preceded in death by a son, Michael David Malone; and his parents, Bernard Louis Malone, Sr. and Cecilia Roccaforte Malone. He was born on December 10, 1937. He was a graduate of
Louisiana State University
College of Engineering and Louisiana State University Law School, 1959 and 1973, respectively. He was an Attorney for the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development and retired in 2000. He will be remembered for celebrating his life with enthusiasm. He loved creating family memories and taking family vacations, especially RVing, dirt bike riding, skiing and traveling abroad. He enjoyed traveling with his grandchildren and supporting their activities and interests. His generosity toward family and others was overwhelming. He had a strong love for the outdoors and natural scenery. As an avid dirt bike enthusiast, he was a long-standing member of the Breezy Hill Enduro Club. Among his fondest memories was being awarded the "Best Enduro of the Year" in 1994 and spending countless hours preparing for future enduros in an effort to duplicate this achievement. He was recognized for his outstanding service by receiving many awards, including a "Life Membership Award" in the Southern Enduro Riders Association in 1985 and the "Distinguished Service Award" in 2002. He was also a lifetime member of the American Motorcycle Association. In his younger years, he enjoyed piloting single-engine airplanes with his friends. He was a long-time Amateur Radio Operator and member of the Baton Rouge Amateur Radio Club. His love for the theater led him to volunteer many hours at the Baton Rouge Little Theater, until his health prevented him from doing so. His proudest accomplishment was receiving the "Best New Volunteer Award" in 2001. He was passionate about introducing people, especially his family, to theater and musical performances. He was an accomplished pianist and saxophone player; and a proud member of the Louisiana State University Tiger Marching Band and participant in the Alumni Band for several years. He was inspired by his wife's volunteer efforts for St. Vincent de Paul's Uniforms for Kids Program, which captured his heart and led him to develop a passion for his own volunteer interests in the program. He was recognized in 2004 for his continuing support and countless hours of dedication to St. Vincent de Paul's Uniforms for Kids Program. Pallbearers are Jerry Hunt, Carl Troia, Sr., Myles Schexnayder, Todd Schexnayder, Carl Troia, Jr., Timothy Hunt, Jacob Hunt and Aaron Schexnayder.

Over the
past month I've been thinking about things that gamers do, how we
behave, and what we enjoy about games. So, here's a list of the things I
thought were worth pointing out to the game developer out there that
might want a gamer's input on how to win over an audience for their
game. Or, more than likely, you're a fellow gamer who's got nothing
better to do than check the blogging section of GI.com. Either way, hope
you see something you hadn't noticed before. If you have something to
add, feel free to put it in the comment section below. Here goes

I would be a seller here, but market is down so much, will wait for tomorrow to see if market bounces back.
225M shares being shorted just last week. How do you think it will be? I say we see squeeze coming.
Take care,
Rimm Is always heavily shorted, and for good reason. It was $150 couple years ago, and $57 a year and a half ago. It is the most heavily day traded stock ever. Brokerages make a killing on RIMM. There are always plenty of shares to short, unlike MCP. They make double commission on every share shorted.

Windfall Theatre struggles to find 'A Time to Live'
There's nothing that terrifies us more or gets talked about less than what it means to die - or the related prospect of soldiering on when those dearest to us are gone.
That's the subject of Howard Goldstein's "A Time to Live," now receiving its world premiere courtesy of Windfall Theatre - an intrepid company that consistently stages plays involving those thorny subjects that matter most. "Time" opened Friday under Carol Zippel's direction. »Read Full Article(2)
Radio vet hosted 'It's a Draw,' once subbed for Dick Clark on 'Bandstand'
He was a disc jockey for almost two decades at WISN radio, master of ceremonies on the old "It's a Draw" TV show with Sid Stone and the cheerful voice of afternoon drive time. But it was Chuck Arnold's one-time stint filling in for Dick Clark on "American Bandstand" in 1959 that captured Milwaukee's teenage heart.
It was a big deal, and when his Bandstand day came, he was flustered by the studio crowd. He flubbed his opening line, announcing the first record as "Lorraine," when it was really Bobby Rydell's "Kissin' Time." »Read Full Article
'A Raisin in the Sun' remains powerful, relevant today
"A Raisin in the Sun" may be an acknowledged classic now, but director Ron OJ Parson understands how daring and radical Lorraine Hansberry's drama was in its own time.
Her play about an African-American family's plan to buy a home in an all-white Chicago neighborhood reflects the early 1950s, before Rosa Parks and the Fair Housing Act, Parson said in an interview. The civil rights movement was still embryonic, and assimilation was seen as the path to success for African-Americans. »Read Full Article
Leonard Cohen brings meticulous approach to Milwaukee Theatre
Leonard Cohen graced the Chicago Theatre stage sharply dressed in a suit and fedora hat. As his gruff, commanding voice quietly filled the room, the audience fell to a hush. It was as though they were bearing witness to a life-altering sermon, enraptured by profound songs like "Suzanne" and "Hallelujah," backed by a nine-piece band.
Four years after that concert, Cohen continues to surprise. He's older of course, at 78, but these days his performances often are, incredibly enough, even longer, between 3 1/2 and four hours. And he's taken his tour to so many places, he's starting to hit some unexpected markets, such as Milwaukee. On Friday, Cohen will perform at the Milwaukee Theatre, his first concert here since he played at what's now the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts on Feb. 25, 1975. Mayor Tom Barrett has designated Friday as "Leonard Cohen Day." »Read Full Article(5)

Providence wins the Bloomberg Mayors Challenge
Though one of 20 finalists from a field of more than 300 cities, Milwaukee did not win Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Mayors Challenge, a national competition to address the problems facing cities today. But Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says he will still advance his project, designed to transform foreclosed properties into a food chain for locally grown foods.
The top honor and the $5 million prize went to Providence, Rhode Island, for its high-tech proposal to boost language skills among low-income children. The Providence Talks proposal will put recording devices -- like a pedometer for words -- in the hands of children to count the number of words they are exposed to. This, combined with education for parents, is designed to boost vocabulary, an indicator of success in the classroom. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

What Makes John McCain Run?
John McCain can stop running now. The race is over.
It's time for McCain to sit erect in a chair with television cameras whirring and face the Senate Ethics Committee. The long-awaited hearings into the savings-and-loan scandal begin Thursday in Washington, D.C.
McCain is the most interesting of all the five defendant senators. No one was closer to Charles Keating than McCain. And no one has wriggled and twisted more vigorously in an effort to distance himself since Keating went down.
He has fought the Ethics Committee for weeks, demanding that he be set free from the hearings and citing a report that he and Senator John Glenn of Ohio are not culpable in the matter.

The Ethics Committee refused to drop McCain from the hearings. This week we will learn whether McCain has been bluffing.
Although McCain doesn't have to run for office again until 1992, he has been campaigning as furiously as possible during the past few months, attempting to convince his colleagues and constituents of his virtue.
He has been on talk shows, television shows and meetings with Arizona Republic editors. When Fife Symington walked off the podium last week at 4 a.m. to go home for some sleep after the election, McCain was at his side.
McCain had to figure that if the cameras were on Symington they were also on the state's junior senator.
It has been impossible to go through an entire day in Arizona without seeing, hearing or reading about McCain and his days as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
But there are facts that many remember. McCain behaved like a faithful lap dog for Charlie Keating all those years when McCain was a congressman trying to make it into the United States Senate.
And when Keating called in all his markers and asked the five senators he had bought to go to bat for him, McCain showed up at the now-notorious meetings in Senator Dennis DeConcini's office.
McCain was there and active in attempting to intimidate the federal regulators. The intimidation worked and Keating was granted ample time to loot millions more before he was finally stopped.
Now, McCain must explain his activities to the Ethics Committee.
You can expect him to admit he has made some minor mistakes. He will admit to knowing Keating. But he will emphasize again and again that he never did anything wrong. And he will emphasize that he worked no harder for Keating than he did for any of his other Arizona constituents.
McCain has even convinced himself that it wasn't questionable to accept $112,000 from Keating for his election campaign.
There was also nothing wrong with the fact that his wife and father-in-law were given a sweetheart deal in a shopping-center development with Keating.
Nor was it wrong to fly on Keating's private jet free of charge.
And there was nothing wrong with taking his family to vacation with Keating at his palatial home in the Bahamas.
Most of the senators who took money from Keating for their election campaigns have returned the money to the government.
McCain has held on to his $112,000, waiting, he says, for Keating to be proven guilty of some wrongdoing.
He is one of the most consummate con artists in the United States Senate, an organization comprised of con artists. You can expect a glib, polished performance.
He will appear humble and repentant. He will speak of honor. He will probably mention the fact that he was a prisoner of war, but that this experience in the savings-and-loan investigation was even more of an ordeal.
Who knows if his story will sell?
The stakes are incredibly high for McCain. There was a time, before the Keating bubble burst, when he was reportedly being considered for a spot on the Republican ticket as vice president.
Those days are over.
Now, McCain must run twice as fast just to avoid being publicly condemned by his own colleagues.
