New biography explores Rosa Parks' lifetime of activism
For her 100th birthday, the late Rosa Parks has received a special gift: a new biography by historian Jeanne Theoharis designed to prove that when it comes to the civil rights movement, Parks was more than a one-hit wonder.
Parks, born Feb. 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Ala., is the African-American woman who was memorably arrested on Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her arrest triggered a bus boycott in Montgomery and made Parks one of the icons of the civil rights movement. »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Fresh Cut Collective, Klassik, Unifi Records, Blax & more from SXSW 2014
South by Southwest 2014 kicks off its music shows tomorrow, and Milwaukee will be representing in full force. With the MilwaukeeHome stage showcasing more than 25 Milwaukee artists in one day and even more artists performing on their own, 2014 is poised to be the best year yet for Milwaukee representation at SXSW.
Neither Jank nor myself had the energy to go down to Austin ourselves, so we outsourced our work to other people who actually work. Fresh Cut Collecitve, Klassik, Unifi Records and Blax have been kind enough to agree to live blog their entire trip and showcase it on our blog. More artists will join soon, so hopefully we can get everything you need to see.

Eau Claire writer Nickolas Butler launches 'Shotgun Lovesongs' here Tuesday
Eau Claire writer Nickolas Butler visits Milwaukee's Boswell Book Company Tuesday to launch his debut novel, "Shotgun Lovesongs" (Thomas Dunne). He arrives with some significant wind in his sails.
" 'Shotgun Lovesongs' is about a hometown in Wisconsin and the close band of friends who will always feel its magnetic pull," explains Janet Maslin in her New York Times review of the novel. "One of the friends is a rock star, and Mr. Butler didn't have to make that up. He went to high school with Justin Vernon, lead singer of Bon Iver. And it doesn't hurt for a book about a poky farm community to have a rock star lodged somewhere in its collective history." »Read Full Blog Post

Posted on 06/22/2009 2:48:23 PM PDT by BP2
Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) is seeking information from AmeriCorps about the Walpin firing. The top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee is also seeking information on documents that had allegedly been withheld from Neil Barofsky, the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Assets Relief Program (SIGTARP), the $700-billion financial bailout package launched last fall.
Grassley this week also filed a request for all documents that might demonstrate what role the office of First Lady Michelle Obama played in the firing of Walpin, if any. The First ladys former chief of staff, Jackie Norris, is expected to join AmeriCorps as the senior adviser next week. (See Previous Story.)
Meanwhile, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is asking the administration to provide more information on the AmeriCorps matter.
Regarding his case, Walpin would like to see a congressional investigation to lay out all the facts.
I would very much like for the American public to know all the facts, instead of how it has so far not been disclosed in response to Sen. Grassleys and Congressman Issas letters, Walpin said in an interview. My view is that as with Teddy Roosevelt that sunshine is the best disinfectant. I think it is terrible what happened here to the IG, the institution as a whole."
"My firing has a chilling effect on other IGs," he said. "The best way to handle that--aside from President Obama admitting that he made a mistake--is to have a congressional hearing so that all facts can be put out for the public to see.
He said that he believed the Democratic majority in Congress would support an investigation.
I have great hopes that Democrats, like Republicans, believe in the integrity of the system and believe that the IG system must be protected, he said. I have hopes. I hope they wont disappoint me.
An independent office?
The Treasury Department has asked the Justice Departments Office of Legal Counsel to clarify the special inspector generals legal status within the executive branch.
In April, Barofsky sent a memo to the Treasury regarding the DOJ inquiry, addressing the issues of attorney-client privilege and whether the special inspector general is subject to supervision by the Treasury Department.
SIGTARP does not object to your plan to seek guidance from the OLC, however, as discussed below, SIGTARP believes the Emergency Economic Stability Act of 2008 provides SIGTARP is an independent entity within the Treasury, that SIGTARP is not subject to the secretarys supervision, and that attorney-client privilege is not a bar to access to Treasurys records or information, Barofsky wrote. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs dismissed any connection regarding the AmeriCorps firing and the TARP matter.
The president believes that inspectors general fulfill a unique and important role in ensuring that programs operate with efficiency, Gibbs told reporters during the daily briefing on Friday. No attorney-client privilege has ever been evoked. No documents sought have been withheld. The DOJ review is not related to a particular investigation. It is sorting out the legal issues relating to the creation of this office.
He added, We have outlined the reasons why the inspector general of the Corporation for National and Community Service was not retained.
Gibbs later responded to a question as to whether someone could infer a trend with the Obama administration and inspectors general.
If they inferred it, it would be an incorrect inference, Gibbs told CNSNews.com.
Walpin said the White House called him confused and disoriented for lack of a legitimate reason for the termination.
I think its absolutely desperation on their part, Walpin said. The first reason they gave me for my termination was that the president thought I ought to move on. The second reason the president expressed was that he lost confidence in me. That was in a letter to Congress. Of course thats not a reason, thats a conclusion.
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that oversees inspectors general, was the lead sponsor of the Inspector General Reform Act of 2008, which Obama co-sponsored as a senator. The law requires that the president give Congress 30-days notice before dismissing an inspector general and provide Congress with an explanation of why such action is necessary. Initially, Obama only told congressional leaders he lost confidence in Walpin.
McCaskill, in a statement last week, said the White House did not offer a sufficient explanation under the law. So that same day, White House Counsel Norman Eisen sent a letter to the Homeland Security Committee providing further reasons.
Mr. Walpin was removed after a review was unanimously requested by the bi-partisan Board of the Corporation, Eisen wrote. The boards action was precipitated by a May 20, 2009 board meeting at which Mr. Walpin was confused, disoriented, unable to answer questions and exhibited other behavior that led the board to question his capacity to serve.
In regard to claims he was confused, Walpin said: Well, I can only say to you that those are code words for a desperation attack on somebody who is--Im not a young man, Ill be 78 in September--those are code words to suggest or imply that Im senile.
This is desperation. They never believed I would do anything but resign to avoid the mud that is thrown at somebody who stands up to the most powerful person in this country, Walpin said. I did this as a matter of principle. I believed that I could not look myself in the mirror if I gave in.
No one with the agency or the administration contacted him about being disoriented or his job performance, Walpin said.
Lets assume theyre even right--which I say is not correct--they and the corporation have met with me hundreds of times, Walpin said. Not one occasion have they ever said anything but that Im very eloquent. Indeed, on the Tuesday before I was fired, one of the top management people in the corporation begged me to go out to San Francisco and speak to 2,0000 members of their staff and grantees at a conference because they thought my ability to speak was so great.
Last Wednesday, after the White House released Eisen's letter further explaining the president's firing of Walpin, Sen. McCaskill issued a statement, in which she said that the White House's explanation for the removal of Walpin seemd "well-founded," while suggesting that Congress "undertake any further review that might be necessary."
Last night, in response to my request for adequate information on the firing of Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service Gerald Walpin, the White House submitted a letter to Senators Lieberman and Collins that now puts the White House in full compliance with the notice requirement in the law," said Sen. McCaskill.
"The next step for Congress is to use the 30 days provided by the notice to seek further information and undertake any further review that might be necessary," said Sen. McCaskill. "The reasons given in the most recent White House letter are substantial and the decision to remove Walpin appears well founded.
Well he has more nads than the entire republican party
Imagine if this was Bush doing this. Olberman and DU would be screaming!!!!
Popcorn, Two Large Bags, extra Butter...
That he does.
Let there be light.........
And on the 8th day, the truth was exposed
As the new owners of our Republic would say: Good Ruck.
There was a thread earlier today about people in the Zero administration who were wishing Bush would speak out more. Of course they only want Bush to speak so the media would go after him and give Zero some cover for his failures.
I can understand the Republicans though. Historically, they've always stepped back and let the opposition hang itself.
Wonder where the remaining Republicans stand on this. /sarc
I hope they are talking about an office she had before she was first lady. The first lady doesn't HAVE an office, the only one who was elected(and his legality is in question)was Bozo.
MSNBC will ratchet up the smears on Walpin big time now. Obama's lil' Geobbels will be working 24/7 until the job is done.
This is a flat out lie. The letter has to be sent 30 days before firing not a week or so after they are fired. To be in compliance with the law they would have to rehire him and then give notice and they would have to prove the allegations.
And neither are we!
Obama is stirring up far more "gates" than Nixon ever did with Watergate and in just 5 months.
BTW Obama, where's your birth certificate?
Re: "Good to see Mr. Walpin isn't intimidated by the Obama slime machine!"
So true.
I fixed it for you.
Ubama has Congress and the Democrat newsrooms in his pocket. That slimy p.o.s. can literally do and get away with anything he wants.
Have a nice day.
AMEN!! This is just showing the thug-side of obamanation..
Walpin said the White House called him confused and disoriented for lack of a legitimate reason for the termination, ===
aka he wouldn't lie down like a whipped dog and simply drink the kool ade. obamanation is becoming more and more like Chicago Crime101.
What happened to the money? obamanation knows!
They'll start w/an IRS visit for Walpin. Don't know what's up w/Linda Tripp.
Yup, they will say that Walpin is a senile old racist.
I wouldn't bet against another Obamacide to silence the problem.
I'm just making an observation. Not agreeing or disagreeing with what the Republicans are doing.
Won't happen, he's already out in public.
I do know the facts to my termination, said Walpin. I did my job as I was supposed to do it, honestly reporting on facts and conclusions that my staff, who are career civil servants had discovered [and] had reported to me.
I would very much like for the American public to know all the facts, instead of how it has so far not been disclosed in response to Sen. Grassleys and Congressman Issas letters, Walpin said in an interview. My view is that as with Teddy Roosevelt that sunshine is the best disinfectant. I think it is terrible what happened here to the IG, the institution as a whole."
"My firing has a chilling effect on other IGs," he said. "The best way to handle that--aside from President Obama admitting that he made a mistake--is to have a congressional hearing so that all facts can be put out for the public to see. I have great hopes that Democrats, like Republicans, believe in the integrity of the system and believe that the IG system must be protected, he said. I have hopes. I hope they wont disappoint me.
If he said all these things without reading from a document or a teleprompter, he sounds to me to be quite rational and lucid, in contravention of the character assassinations made against him by the white house.
With Obama having as many as 28 Czars, you'd think Congress would be itching for a good excuse to knock Obama down a few notches -- to get some of their power back, if nothing else.
... the fact that Obama broke the law while doing the firing ... well, that should concern Congress, too, but I'll take what I can get with that bunch ...
Where is the left and all their OUTRAGE over a President acting above the LAW?.... Where is left? Where is the Left. Hypocrisy calling Leftists in America... Hypocrisy calling...
This country is so screwed right now its a real chame.
I remember when Gingrich had a set and would skewer a dem who was a p.o.s.
Then even HE became a punk for the cameras.
Senile because he is in his 70's, and racist because he was opposing Obama.
Ok, and I was just making one also:)
When McCaskill first spoke out, I figured that she was such an early and enthusiastic supporter of Obama, that she was just going to provide cover for Walpin's firing.
Looks like I was absolutely right.
What a tool.
"Stand up, sit down, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!!!"
That is the most convoluted sentence I have read in a long time.
Yup, exactly.
As liberals said of Repubicans, "The seriousness of the charges warrants investigation."
Atta boy Lancey, fight on!.
Thats the idea. Uncontolled IGs could cause lots of trouble.
I believe President-elect Obama possesses an instantly recognizable purity of soul that, coupled with his brilliance, and, of course, his eloquence, brought quite unimaginable and long-awaited magic to the country, transforming red and blue states, quite literally, into 'The Color Purple.' I believe the entire country will stand behind him."
Linda Tripp operates with her husband, Christmas Sleigh store in Middleburg, Virginia.
You mean a government program is just a money laundering operation for the left?
NO! It can't be! /s
Damn, I see a suspicious car wreck in this poor mans future ...
Sounds like she was basically telling him the "issues" that were going to be raised before the Republicans could so he could appear to be cooperating.
I hope Walpin has some avenue to pursue in the courts. The Dems in Congress are lower than low, and the MSM will turn on Walpin rather than investigate the facts as this sort of abuse of power by a president deserves.

PECO crews were working round the clock, clearing debris, picking up wires and restoring power little by little to residents throughout and around Montgomery County on Thursday.
"It's pretty bad. This is a pretty bad ice storm. I think this is the second biggest storm in our company's history," said aerial mechanic Tom Blanken.
Joe Caffey and his wife Barbara have been without power since 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
"This is the largest outage geographically that I have seen. We went out to lunch yesterday and literally it took us half an hour to find a restaurant open," he said.
Without any backup generator or way to keep their house warm, the Caffey's are thankful for the crew's hard work, but plan to be better prepared for next time.
"It's bad but we understand these guys are really doing the best they can and you just have to have a lot of patience. Maybe investing in a generator or at least if you could have heat in the house that would be something... but not having anything at all, you're trapped. You really are isolated. It's not a pleasant feeling," said Caffey.
Crews are still working to recover power from outages

On Monday, at the team's first practice after a week off, only offensive guard James Carpenter was unable to go through drills as the team prepares to take on the Miami Dolphins this weekend. Carpenter has missed the past two games because of a concussion. Second-year pro John Moffitt started in his place at left guard.

Hands Up Don't Shoot is the Wrong Message
"Hands up; don't shoot" is the wrong message for the wrong time. It is provacative and polarizing. What we need is a rhetoric which better reflects the one and only inner ecology of the Spirit, a rhetoric which connects everyone.
Shortly after the Treyvon Martin killing, I travelled to Atlanta, for a Commemorative Weed Out Hate Ceremony with local membrers of Rainbow Push, SCLC, and NAN.
Rising to the Mountain Top is learning the art of tranforming our inner rage into connective spirituality and "weed out hate" gives us a method for extending the experience into our daily lives.

Jolla Smartphone ReviewJolla Smartphone 2
Colorful, minimalist, but navigation gestures take a long while to get used to.
Remember MeeGo? Don't feel bad if you don't. Announced jointly by Intel and Nokia in 2010, it was a Linux-based OS that never really achieved any commercial success. What does that have to do with Jolla's smartphone? Well, the handset happens to be the first to launch runing Sailfish OS, which is an emerging platform based on that same MeeGo operating system. In other words, we're dealing with an underdog mobile operating system built upon a product that flopped. But let's give it a chance anyway.
The user interface of Sailfish OS is colorful, minimalist, and pleasant to look at. It is also very different from iOS, Android, or Windows Phone for it is controlled mostly using gestures instead of physical or on-screen buttons. Thankfully, these are explained to the user when the phone is turned on for the first time, and one is free to launch the guide again at the later time since it is available as an app.
We've been using the Jolla smartphone for several days now, and as much as we're trying to force ourselves to like its gesture-based navigation, we're still finding it a tad frustrating. This might change given enough usage time, but currently, we can't say that we're feeling right at home. If you're coming from iOS, Android, or Windows Phone, prepare to face a steep learning curve.
Still, there are things about Sailfish that we like, including some of the implemented gestures. The phone can be woken up from stand-by with a double tap on the screen, and the notifications panel is at the bottom, which makes getting to it very convenient.
Widgets are absent from Sailfish OS. When you minimize an app, however, it goes to a separate screen where it can be interacted with using gestures or buttons placed on its tile – a very elegant solution. Speaking of minimizing apps, Sailfish is built to support live multitasking, which is definitely an advantage. In other words, minimized apps are still active, not frozen indefinitely.
Basics are covered, but there's a serious lack of apps.
The list of apps available on the Jolla store is very short. This shouldn't be a problem, however, since Sailfish can run Android software. Right? Well, it isn't that simple. You see, to get Android apps onto the Jolla smartphone, we had to download the Yandex app store, which currently has only about 85,000 apps. Many popular apps are missing from its catalog – there's Fruit Ninja and Twitter, but Angry Birds and the official Facebook client, for example, aren't available. Furthermore, Android support still seems to be rather shaky, so expect games to run at mediocre framerates. App crashes aren't out of the question.
As for the stock Sailfish OS apps, the dialer and the contacts list are both minimalist, without much going on in terms of advanced features. But they get their job done and we don't find them lacking anything of essence. Now would be a good time to mention that Sailfish OS plays along well with Google, Facebook, and Twitter accounts, so we had no troubles importing our existing contacts. As soon as we logged in, new emails and notifications from our FB feed started popping up in the notifications panel.
The messaging application is used to send plain old SMS messages, but it has Facebook messenger integration as well so it can be used to shoot free texts over to your FB buddies. One annoying thing about it is the lack of a button for attaching items to the message. To send a picture, we have to use the Gallery app instead.
The phone's on-screen keyboard is well laid out, with large enough keys and built-in word prediction. The absence of a landscape layout, however, is puzzling.
Processor and memory
The dual-core Snapdragon 400 gets the job done.
There's nothing in terms of processor specs that the Jolla smartphone can impress us with. Under its hood ticks a 1.4GHz Snapdragon 400 SoC with two Krait 200 CPU cores and Adreno 305 graphics. One gig of RAM can also be found there. The good news, however, is that Sailfish runs fine on this otherwise mid-range hardware configuration. The OS is responsive and doesn't stutter, although the UI's framerate is clearly far from reaching the 60fps mark. With a little effort, you should even be able to run some not very demanding games on the device.
Storage space on board the Jolla phone is limited to 16GB, out of which 13.8GB are available. Those who need extra space are free to pop in a microSD card in there.
Core web browser functionality, no bells and whistles.
Sailfish comes with a pre-loaded web browser built on top of Mozilla's open source Gecko browser engine. All in all, the app gets the job done, but it is frustrating to use with its unintuitive interface and it can be slow with heavier pages. Navigation on our home page, for example, is hindered by the slow page rendering while scrolling or zooming. The browser's list of features is somewhat short. You can bookmark pages, Google stuff from the address bar, open multiple tabs (once you figure out how, that is), share pages, and that's pretty much it. Text doesn't inflate so get used to doing lots of pinch-ins and pinch-outs while surfing the web. Text reflow is also out of the question. Thankfully, Opera Mini is available for download from the Yandex store – some users might find it easier to use than the stock browser app.
The Jolla smartphone is a 4G-enabled handset with LTE support for a limited number of carriers "on 6 continents". Naturally, 3G HSPA connectivity is also supported, although we aren't sure what's the peak downlink rate of the phone's radio. You also get all the mandatory stuff, such as Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS with GLONASS compatibility, and Bluetooth 4.0. Technically, NFC is also present, but it is used for pairing the handset with its case and we couldn't get it to do anything beyond that. Full-blown NFC support, however, could come one day through the use of an other half built for the purpose.

It's not good device, but after all, it's Jollas first smartphone, made by ~100 guys. OS is great, but it's more like alpha than beta or finished one. Some forgiving must do, and I think that this device should get like 4 or 5, just to be generous.

typically Nokia fanboy. It is clear that this is a junk phone. It has lesser specs than the Moto G and is about 3-5x the price (depending on where you get the Moto G at) and apparently is worse than the Moto G on all fronts. I cant think of a single reason why someone would buy this over that, and that is a phone that costs about 100-150$ generally.

oh yeah the specs are what makes a phonne junk now may i remind that unlike android other OS's don't need big specs to run seamlessly
16. easymomo (Posts: 91; Member since: 04 Jul 2012)
The score is very low, but I read the review... the phone is really really disapointing and has the same price as the Nexus 5 or LG G2.

Brutal is a conservative term. There are no words that could ever describe this review on the planet.
48. Johnnokia (Posts: 1093; Member since: 27 May 2012)
Nick T. ,, just grow up.
Your review is more than disgusting.
This is the worst unprofessional review I ever seen.
I can't call a review either.
6 years child could write better than you.
I used to read only GSMArena reviews.
65. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
Honestly, I think the review was justified. The specs are horrible and every single pro the phone has, it has to be limited to what seemed "unfinished". For example, the NFC. Why didnt they finish NFC support, if its included. It's $550 which is not cheap by todays standards. It doesnt support much in multimedia. The camera has no HDR, camera lag, etc... Bad call quality. Low res screen...
I would have given it a 1 out of 10.
71. jroc74 (Posts: 6004; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Exactly. I think some ppl have blinders on. Just because you like a phone or want it to succeed....doesnt always mean its a good phone.
100. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
so true. Phones like Moto G are better when they're about 1/3rd of the price, and this phone is just BARELY ahead of the Lumia 520/521 which are about 1/5th of the price.
121. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1178; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
you do know the jolla office is made out of 85 people they don't have advanced research facilities or beta testers the beta testers are the community i got sailfish running on my n9 and it's great for it's beta tag !

iAgree, iL♥ve this new iPhone 6; there's no need for such a horrific review, that's just unprofessional!!
105. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
I wonder how much the price played a part in the overall rating. Yes, the Jolla phone is admittedly incomplete, but it's a device for people that like to tinker, explore, experiment, and modify their devices, and want more freedom than what android offers, or something different, fresh, and coming from a semi-grassroots foundation. If it were $200-300, I'd consider picking one up, but $550 is steep for what it is, and better to sell more $300 phones than few $500 phones, IMHO, as it gets the product in more hands and gives more opportunities for crowdsourcing and the like.

Lowest score on PA up to date.
Damn I was actually thinking about getting this.
25. mobi_user (Posts: 151; Member since: 18 Jun 2013)
PA will not give this phone a good review.
First it is a very small company to sponser thing for them.
Second, Jolla is made of revolting members of Nokia+Microsoft. They didn't surrender to the morachy.
Third, Tizen needs to be put in place.

i feel sorry for the people who worked so hard on developing this phone

You should feel sorry for the consumers who are manipulated into thinking that this is a terrible product

GSMArena did a preview of this a while ago, and they came to the same conclusion as PA.
22. jellmoo (Posts: 1584; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Whoa, hold on there. The GSMArena preview most certainly did not. It was a great write up that showed what they liked, what they didn't, what needed improvement, and had great followup. They dug into each piece and showed a complete picture of the device.
This is a hack job of a review that contains wayyyy less detail than that preview (which is sad in and of itself).
24. buccob (Posts: 2564; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
well I rarely trust PA reviews... but this is definitely not an outstanding product either... specially for the price

7. muser793 (Posts: 59; Member since: 15 Aug 2013)
well i know it can't compete with android and windows phones but 2?! seriously?! i think it deserves a 6. not a bad camera, average display, nice design, average hardware...
of course it has many downsides but 2 is not fair at all...
8. X.E.R.O. (unregistered)
10. jellmoo (Posts: 1584; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Wow. The utterly negative tone in this review is simply not welcome. Grade a product with a low score if it applies, but this was written as though the author had every intention of disliking the product from the get go. Things like:
"Remember MeeGo? Don't feel bad if you don't. Announced jointly by Intel and Nokia in 2010, it was a Linux-based OS that never really achieved any commercial success... In other words, we're dealing with an underdog mobile operating system built upon a product that flopped."
Are are a gross oversimplification bordering on downright fabrications.
The entire slant of this review is just brutally oversimplified, with no time taken to even dig into anything. It's literally a list of "didn't like this, didn't like that, not a fan of this..." with no context, no understanding, and no concept that this isn't just another device from a big name manufacturer.
If a phone deserves a 2 out of 10, fine, give it that score. But this reads like the author was looking for reasons to give this device as low a score as possible, and simply wasn't going to like it. Expecting a device made by a small group, with extremely limited means to offer a 100% competitive product from the get go and try and compare the device to those made by juggernauts like Apple or Samsung is utter folly.
You could have done the same review, given the same score, but stripped away the negativity and offered a compelling look at a flawed product. Could have gone in deep and identified what had promise, what needs a complete overhaul, and offered constructive criticism. This site is a great place for news, rumours and editorials. But the reviews here are incredibly inconsistent, follow no set parameters that I've been able to see, and consist of little more than hack jobs for products that aren't loved, and giant circle jerks for products that tickle the reviewers fancy.

Reviewer should be a reviewer and must be fair and honest.
He should not give higher score just because its not ios, android or wp.
61. jellmoo (Posts: 1584; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
The score isn't the issue, it's the content. The review contains no real context, very few actual details, some terrible half truths, and a negative tone from the get go. He didn't take the time to do the review, he took the time to do a hatchet job on a product and offer nothing of value.

"This site is a great place for news, rumors and editorials. But the reviews here are incredibly inconsistent, follow no set parameters that I've been able to see"
I have been saying this for as long I have been commenting here. This especially applies to their camera comparisons.
75. corporateJP (Posts: 2431; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
"Remember Meego?" and "product that flopped" are just plain incorrect on the reviewer's part.
The N9 "flopped" because it was never allowed to succeed, thanks to new-at-the-time CEO Stephen Elop.
Meego has quite a cult following out there, just like Ubuntu does, and the Sailfish team is evidence of this.
This site has become so biased due to big dog money being tossed at it, whether it's Microsoft, Samsung, Apple or whoever. Nobody will succeed outside of this realm if people base opinions off of what they learn here.
Jolla has a way to go, yes. But I am rooting for them. This is a first product, there will be hiccups. But wisecrack statements with no evidence to back it up tied to a two rating make you guys look like a bunch of marks.
And, if you hate the phone so much, send it to me, I'll make better use of it than any of you would with all your free test and demo devices you end up giving to your hipster friends and family members.
111. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
Honestly, this phone is as horrible as it sounds. This is something you would see as a prototype. One of the first if I should say. It is a horrible device for $550 regardless of what OS its running. I'm amazed by some of you people defending it. The company should be ashamed of releasing a product like this. I feel bad for anybody that gets suckered into buying it.
122. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1178; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
tbh if you go on talk.maemo.com you'll see that meego is more alive then it seems we have sailfish we have opened our own app store we have nitdroid running on it which is android we have tweaks that overlay is entire software bug fixes and improvements by the community apps still being worked on !

18. sbw44 (Posts: 433; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
Wow wonder why you don't say Samsungs eye tracking is a complete gimmick or how every other OS also has bugs! This just confirms PA is run by a bunch of Samsung/Android fanboys!
23. mobi_user (Posts: 151; Member since: 18 Jun 2013)
It is very certain that PA doesn't get anything paid for this review. Otherwise even the nonsense phones have got a rating of 7+. Come on PA, be honest to the industry. Even the initial version of WP got much more than this, which were nothing by s***.
26. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
'The phone is too expensive for what it delivers'. well that should apply for all iphone reviews.
30. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
iPhones are quite expensive, but they actually are really good devices. 5S is one of the fastest flagship phone on market, camera is awesome, it's well made, great app store, vivid, bright and crisp display, the list goes on and on. Jolla is not good device, and it's really expensive.
27. Planterz (Posts: 2067; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
If there were nothing to compare this phone against, perhaps it would have rated higher, but in comparison to others, the score of 2.0 is probably justified. There seems to be zero reason to buy this phone instead of others except to try a different OS. And even then, the price should be way, way less.
And for all you fanboys accusing PA of being fanboys, EVERY major manufacturer has a currently available phone that has scored 9 or higher. HTC One, Motorola, Samsung, LG, Apple, Nokia (OK, everybody but BlackBerry).
31. Diego! (Posts: 573; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
Oh Gosh... this was slashed! Wasn't this phone outselling Nokia Lumias and iPhones in Finland? Is that accurate? I think I remember reading that here in PA.
77. corporateJP (Posts: 2431; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
I think you're thinking of the Nokia N9 a few years ago, which ran an infant version of what OS this phone runs.
Regardless, the review is harsh by any standard.
123. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1178; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
yes on the carrier DNA for christmas it was the 3rd most sold phone more then iphone and lumias !

Brooklyn, New York, United States

(aged 65)

|Actor, film director
|Years active
|Doris Carey (6 children)
Timothy Agoglia Carey (March 11, 1929 – May 11, 1994) was an American film and television character actor.[1] He was born in Brooklyn, New York. Carey was best known for portraying manic or violent characters who are driven to extremes.
One of his most recognized early roles was in the Stanley Kubrick film The Killing (1956),[1] in which he portrayed a gunman hired to shoot a racehorse as a diversion from a racetrack robbery-in-progress. Because of the impression Carey made in this small part, Kubrick cast him in the World War I drama Paths of Glory (1957),[1] as one of three soldiers accused of cowardice. During the filming of Paths of Glory, Carey was reportedly disruptive and tried to draw more attention to his character during the filming. Due to this behavior, a scene in which Carey and the other actors were served a duck dinner as a final meal before execution required 57 takes to complete. Carey then faked his own kidnapping to reap personal publicity, which prompted Kubrick and producer James B. Harris to fire him. As a result of this incident, the film does not depict the three condemned soldiers during the battle scene, and a double was used during a scene in which a priest hears Carey's character's confession. The scene was filmed with the double's back to the camera.[2]
The 1957 film Bayou (retitled Poor White Trash) featured one of Carey's few leading roles, as a Cajun shopkeeper named Ulysses.
He had roles in East of Eden, The Wild One, One-Eyed Jacks,[1] The Boy and the Pirates, Beach Blanket Bingo.[1] and in the John Cassavetes-directed films Minnie and Moskowitz and The Killing of a Chinese Bookie.[1] He played a minor role as the Angel of Death in the comedy film D.C. Cab, and appeared in the Monkees vehicle Head. His final appearance was in the 1986 movie Echo Park. Carey also did a select amount of acting on TV from the 1950s through the 1980s.
According to director Quentin Tarantino, Carey auditioned for the role of Joe Cabot in Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. Although Carey did not get the role, the screenplay was dedicated to him, among others.[3]
Carey's face (from the movie The Killing) is positioned behind George Harrison on the cover of The Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Although Carey's image is not seen on the commercially released version of the cover, it can be seen on outtake photos from the Sgt. Pepper session.[4]
The World's Greatest Sinner[edit]
Carey wrote, produced, directed, and starred in the 1962 feature The World's Greatest Sinner, whose music soundtrack was scored by a young, pre-Mothers of Invention Frank Zappa.[1] Although it did not have wide commercial release, the film achieved cult status through repeated screenings at the "midnight movies" in Los Angeles in the 1960s. This movie established Carey as a pioneering figure in independent film. During a 1963 appearance on the Steve Allen TV show during which he generated musical sounds on bicycles, Zappa talked about scoring the soundtrack for The World's Greatest Sinner, which he called "the world's worst movie," even though the general public wouldn't have the opportunity to see the film he was talking about for another 50 years.[5]
Carey died of a stroke in 1994 at the age of 65 in Los Angeles, and was buried at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, California.

Boldin will bypass Ravens' ceremony at White House
Boldin: 'Kap is a special talent; he can make any throw'
Anquan Boldin caught six passes for 104 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII. (AP)
Wide receiver Anquan Boldin, the Baltimore Ravens' leading receiver during their Super Bowl run, will not attend the team's White House ceremony this week.
Unfortunately I'm going to miss a great opportunity to be with my Super Bowl team at the White House.— Anquan Boldin (@AnquanBoldin) June 3, 2013
I know those guys will proudly share our Super Bowl memories and unforgettable moments on my behalf.— Anquan Boldin (@AnquanBoldin) June 3, 2013
Instead, Boldin will participate in the 49ers' organized team activities this week.
San Francisco acquired Boldin in a March trade for a sixth-round draft pick.
He is expected to take on an even larger role in the 49ers' passing attack now that No. 1 receiver Michael Crabtree is expected to miss six months after tearing his Achilles tendon.

Before you ever pick up a brush or roller, you need to spend some quality time with your paint, stirring it to make sure it is thoroughly mixed. Since this can be a little messy for most of us, try placing the whole can into a large paper sack or a cardboard box. This gives you a good shield for those spatters and drips. Keep the messes under control, and you'll have to spend less time cleaning up later.
Q: My kitchen table is made of plastic laminate. I would like to cover it with wood veneer. Can I do it? – N.G.
A: It would be best to glue the wood to a wood base. As an alternative, you could install a 1/4-inch plywood sheet over the laminate and then install the veneer. If you want to try the veneer right over the laminate, just make sure to sand the gloss off the surface really well. Then, use a contact adhesive made for the veneer and apply pressure from the veneer roller to insure a good finish to the table. It's worth a shot!
Tips from readers
Dear Carrells: We bought a plumber's snake when we had a clog in our bathroom. It worked well to help us clear the clog, and I stuffed it in the garage to use later. "Later" happened last weekend when the gutters on the front of the house overflowed because of a clog. I grabbed the plumbers snake and sent it up through the downspout from the ground. It pushed the clog out the top and it started flowing again. It was the first time I didn't have to climb up on the roof to fix it. I'm glad I had it on hand. – H.S.
Dear Al: We've always saved real wine corks. In fact, we created a backsplash for our wet bar out of the rubber corks we had amassed. We found a great use for the old, real corks. We glued them to a thin cutting board and built a frame around them with leftover wooden wall trim and filled it with clear plastic resin to create a really neat cutting board for our bar. I still have more corks, so I'm looking for more ideas if you have any. – G.A.
Dear Kelly: We like to feed the birds during the winter so they don't do without when it's icy and cold. I take old bagels, hard cookies or bad fruit and coat them with peanut butter and roll them in bird seed. Then I hang them on my porch or one of my trees. The birds love them. I also get a few squirrels, but I guess they need to eat, too. – V.R.
Dear Carrells: Well, I knew it would happen because the whole family was in town for Thanksgiving – the sink in the bar stopped up. I needed to drain the sink and was able to get most of the water out except for the last little bit. I grabbed the turkey baster to suck the rest of the water out. It worked quickly, and then I was able to pull the drain off and remove the clog. I'm going to buy my own baster just to keep in my plumbing-repair basket, because I can see that I will be using this again – but not anytime soon, I hope! – J.Y.
A Super hint
Most light sockets and extension cords will have a power rating listed somewhere on them. Take a close look at these numbers, especially the maximum wattage delivered, before adding higher wattage bulbs or more devices to them. Putting too much usage on one can cause a fire hazard!

Firearms manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co. Inc. of Southport, Conn., has purchased a minority interest in West Chester crossbow manufacturer Kodabow, a start-up that made its first sale in 2010 and had revenues of close to $1 million last year.
Terms of the investment were not disclosed. In a statement, Michael O. Fifer, Ruger's president and CEO, said the investment "reflects our interest in one of the faster growing segments of the hunting market."
Kodabow founder Chuck Matasic said Ruger's stake in his company "validates" Kodabow's business model of producing high-quality crossbows that are accurate and reliable.

FSA mulls forcing banks to join Libor-setting process
The Financial Services Authority on Wednesday floated a proposal to force leading banks to participate in the setting of multiple benchmark interest rates based on the London interbank offered rate, if not enough of them voluntarily provide submissions to Libor.
Releasing a consultation paper on implementing Libor-related reforms recommended by senior FSA executive Martin Wheatley, the City regulator said that the number of financial institutions offering rates to Libor could be increased to 20 from up to 18 currently.
Arguing that the involvement of a larger number of banks in the Libor-setting process would enhance the "integrity and accuracy" of the rates, the FSA said that it would prefer as many as 40 banks to make submissions for any particular Libor rate.
The watchdog also ruled out "at least initially" the oversight of other financial benchmark indices, including those for commodity and energy prices.

What I Learned From Praying at the White House
I got the call on the morning of Maundy Thursday: Would you be interested in giving the closing prayer at the White House Easter Prayer Breakfast?
Uh. Yes. Wow. Absolutely. I actually don't even remember what my response was, but it was probably something like that.
My feeling upon hanging up the phone — and the underlying sense all through the emotion and significance and spiritual intensity of our Good Friday and Easter Sunday services at my church — was, Who, me?
I felt the same way walking into the White House with a bunch of leaders whose names and faces I'd seen before on social media or the news but never yet in person.
The other presenters that day were Rev. Amy Butler from Riverside Church in New York City, Sister Donna Markham of Catholic Charities USA, Fr. Anthony Messeh of St. Timothy and St. Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Church, and Pastor Ann Lightner-Fuller of Mt. Calvary A.M.E. Church, and as we met and chatted in the Blue Room while we waited for the President and Vice President to greet us before the breakfast, we shared this common feeling. Who were we to be doing this? At one point, Fr. Anthony said, "I'm just waiting for someone to tap me on the shoulder and tell me they made a mistake!"
Eight years ago, a 25-year-old, grad-school-student, fanboy-and-campaigner-in-chief Justin would have been unreservedly and unabashedly over-the-moon about an opportunity like this — and please don't get me wrong, I was excited. There were a lot of things I thought about saying to the President — "Big fan, sir!" or "We're praying for you!" or "Come visit The District Church — we're just a couple miles up the road!" or "How about that Championship game last night?"
But all that came out was, "Great to meet you, Mr. President!" And then I had nothing.
The breakfast itself was a fun thing to be a part of, too. From Vice President Biden's opening remarks to President Obama's reflections (and jokes, the man's got a great sense of humor!)to the song by Amy Grant (a childhood musical hero of mine) to the scriptures read from 1 Corinthians and Mark's Gospel to the homily on having the courage to hope and keep moving forward, the event was a thoroughly Jesus-saturated. It felt like an extension of Easter Sunday.
And I guess that's what God has impressed upon my heart this weekend and through the prayer breakfast: we all need the gospel and the gospel is for us all. Before the breakfast, I met Rev. Lennox Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus, and we both commented on how even famous people need Jesus, how even nice suits and dresses can't hide the things that we all have to deal with.

In most parts of the country the gardening season is winding down and preparations are under way to put the garden to bed. That's a somewhat misleading phrase because, for instance, in my Chicago garden many plants (the witch hazels, creeping sedums, aster rosettes, and a few precocious snowdrops) are active in winter. Also, it is not yet time to pull the blanket of mulch over the garden. That comes next month when the ground begins to freeze. Much like with a toddler resisting bedtime, putting the garden to bed does... >>more
Why won't my orange tree produce fruit? Why won't my hydrangea flower? Why do my tomatoes develop blossom end rot? Why is my corn weak and spindly?

The answers to these and many other gardening dilemmas are rooted in... >>more

Man is weary of man.
I've been working on my Batman novel pretty feverishly and I have the rough draft of the prologue, or "Argument" finished. It concludes with a fifteen year old Bruce Wayne wandering through the city at night, strategizing how he will bend the world to his power once he is older and has the reins on his family's fortune.
My Bruce Wayne is obsessed with justice, but not just against bank robbers and terrorists. He believe in complete, society-wide justice. And while he doesn't as of yet have this figured out yet, there are problems he sees and wants to deal with, even if he doesn't quite have the solutions for them yet.
It's these real world problems that I want to discuss with you here, and how Bruce might go approaching them, both as Batman and as Bruce Wayne.
Here is a summary of his list of injustices:
- Basic criminal behavior
This ranges from juvenile delinquency to murder. Batman can't obviously prevent every crime and mugging, so how would Bruce attack these problems in society? It's easy to eliminate crimes of need (stealing bread), but crimes performed by sociopaths, psychopaths, or those just interested in harming or stealing from others seem unsolvable. How would Bruce attack this? What are the root causes? How can we vary our punishment to change this behavior?
- Organized crime
This is a step up from basic criminal behavior, hierarchies of drug lords and Mafioso who have institutionalized their crimes into a way of life. Batman could intimidate these people, and hunt them down, but would they be easily replaced? Do they serve a social need in the nature of our civilization?
- Corporate malfeasance
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Corporations driven by greed and profits that are larger than the law will not hesitate to operate beyond their mandates and bring about injustice both consciously and unconsciously. How does the combination of Bruce Wayne and Batman combat this abuse?
- Terrorism
Some men just want to see the world burn. Some people just want to inflict as much pain as they can, without any care for the repercussions. How does Batman battle against such wanton destruction and chaos?
- Political and institutional corruption, including churches and government
Like corporate corruption, political and institutional corruption is everywhere, whether it's the pontificating politicians or the holier than thou priests. Across the world this is a notorious problem. What can Bruce and Batman do to counter this age-old problem?
- Poverty and ghettoes
This is one of the major problems of the world and a leading instigator of crime, that comic book Batman seldom deals with. But my Bruce Wayne is determined to go all the way. Social programs and welfare diminish a culture, and don't seem to completely work. At the same time, the poor are a section of society that needs the most help. What can Bruce do with his money and his monster to alleviate these wounds?
- The criminally insane
A number of criminals and homeless are what they are because they are mentally defective. How can Wayne help these people and protect others from them at the same time?
- Creative class nihilism and drug abuse
The creative classes are responsible for the artistic environment that surrounds us, but are they too corrupt and dead inside, and leading us on the wrong path? How can Bruce and Batman combat youth's pessimism?
- Childhood abuse
Childhood kidnappings and abuse is some of the darkest stuff people can do. The Batman must stop this from happening, and the people who run the underground that facilitates it.
- Occult crime and subversive societies
This might sound fanciful, but it's a real problem, and one Batman must face.
In some cases, we will have super villains as the representatives of these problems (Joker and Anarky for terrorism for instance). I don't know, what do you guys think about these problems? And am I forgetting about any?
