Skip to comments.Idiots at TIME Mag Fall for Protest Warrior Satire (Ann Coulter pic)
Posted on 04/17/2005 2:35:59 PM PDT by tgslTakoma
Any bets on how long Time keeps this photo up?
Does forever count as a guess?
Man oh man, do I love Useful Idiots.
They're not seriously this stupid, are they?
My Favorite "Criminals for Gun Control"
lol, and the other signs -
Criminals for Gun Control
Liberating Iraqi Children from Tyranny is Co$ting too Much
Does anyone look at the pics?
Am I crazy, or does the sign on the edge read "SADDAM KILLED OWLS"?
Killing owls is Halliburton's job.
Do you think this made it into their printed version?
Thought you'd get a kick out of this!
It's a good thing that Time Magazine is staffed by professional journalists, and not those dopey and uncredentialed bloggers.
If it did, it will be the first issue of Time I bought since their "Death by Gun" issue... I don't remember how long ago that was.
Time is too much. They were so enamored of the photo of Ann with her mouth sadistically taped closed that they didn't look closely enough. Superb!
I wonder who's she's giving the "Italian salute" to?
Did a quick google on Katja Heinemann. She's German, she may have not understood the "nuance" of the Protest Warriors, and "communists for Kerry" may have sounded perfectly fine to her.
Hiya, nutmeg. Here's one your ping list might get a kick out of.
Didn't notice that til you mentioned it. :D
Modified for the past tense, since the sign above was used post-capture.
Yes, bloggers and Freepers have no editors and therefore get things all fouled up. ;^)
<=== laughing hard.
Protest Warrior / Communists for Kerry ping!
They are the self proclaimed "professionals" and we on FreeRepublic are "amateurs". :-)
Time magazine is right up there with CBS in stupidity...ROFLMAO...
COMMUNISTSFORKERRY.COM hopes it does so they can get the publicity. ;-)
Seems Time, familiar as they are with Orwellian doublespeak, would have had someone with intelligence point out to them the concept of sarcasm.
But remember, liberals are the most intelligent folks around.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Marching Troops
When actually the people holding the signs are Ann Coulter SUPPORTERS doing a parody of todays blind liberal hate.
This is just tooooo funny.
And we're all just dumb hicks from Jesusland.
Maybe we should let them leave the US to join Canada. The collective IQ of both countries would improve.
I love their logo. :-)
Amazing! Was that sign just a little too nuanced for them?

I see what you did thar I checked Tripsis out after listening to most of their discography, perhaps why it isn't a favourite. Still damn fine though.

Headlines (News Releases)
Three Laurier scientists receive funding from Ontario Research Fund
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Dec 11/09| For Immediate Release
Dr. Deborah MacLatchy
Kevin Crowley
WATERLOO Two psychology researchers and a biology researcher from Lauriers Faculty of Science received infrastructure funding from the Ontario Research Fund (ORF) at a provincial announcement held today. The funding affects 34 associated researchers at Laurier and matches earlier infrastructure grants received from the Canada Foundation for Innovation.
Biologist Dr. Mihai Costea purchased a $193,000 environmental variable pressure scanning electron microscope with the assistance of $77,521 in funding from the ORF. Psychologist Dr. Diano Marrone, who studies age-related memory decline, acquired a $351,000 multi-user confocal microscope to enable him to visualize cellular activity and examine neural networks. The ORF contributed $128,888. For psychologist Dr. Bruce McKay, the $50,422 in provincial funding contributed to a patch clamp electrophysiology setup that allows him to study neurons and synapses in acute brain slices.
Its wonderful that the Ontario Research Fund recognized Drs. Costea, Marrone and McKay, and the significance of the equipment to their research and student training, said Dr. Deborah MacLatchy, vice-president: academic and provost. These instruments are incredibly versatile and can be used in many disciplines as well as psychology and biology.
Costeas microscope is vital in furthering his innovative research in the area of worldwide parasitic plant biodiversity, especially his work with the genus Cuscuta (dodders). Some dodders are listed as noxious weeds, which can greatly diminish some crop yields, while others are endangered or threatened with extinction, and some are being investigated for their medicinal properties. Despite their importance, dodders are little known and are frequently misidentified.
Marrones research into age-related memory decline is gaining in importance as Canadas population ages. With average life expectancy in Canada now reaching 80 years, memory loss will no doubt afflict a substantial population in years to come. Determining the nature and causes of this cognitive impairment has become a major challenge in the study of aging.
McKay is researching how the brain changes with drug abuse, specifically when children abuse under-the-sink solvents and inhalants. The patch clamp electrophysiology setup will show neurons and synapses at the cellular/molecular level, helping McKay to understand how the substances modify brain function. With this understanding he hopes to determine what drugs can be used to effectively treat and potentially reverse the damage.
Today we are saying once again that were proud of the work that our researchers do and the wealth and jobs they create in Waterloo. New discoveries will continue to be made and we want those people, those ideas and those jobs right here in our community, said Leeanna Pendergast, MPP for Kitchener-Conestoga.
In the 21st century, economic stimulus must create jobs today and tomorrow it must be both shovels in the ground and support for innovative people and innovative thinking, said John Milloy, Minister of Research and Innovation.

Two very different galaxies drift through space together in this image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The peculiar galaxy pair is called Arp 116.
Arp 116 is composed of a giant elliptical galaxy known as Messier 60 (or M60) and a much smaller spiral galaxy, NGC 4647.
M60 is the third brightest galaxy in the Virgo cluster of galaxies, a collection of more than 1,300 galaxies. M60 has a diameter of 120,000 light-years, and a mass of about one trillion times that of the Sun. A huge black hole of 4.5 billion solar masses lies at its center, one of the most massive black holes ever found.
The faint bluish spiral galaxy NGC 4647 is about two-thirds of M60 in size and much lower in mass — roughly the size of our galaxy, the Milky Way.
Astronomers have long tried to determine whether these two galaxies are actually interacting. Although looking at them from Earth they overlap, there is no evidence of new star formation, which would be one of the clearest signs that the two galaxies are indeed interacting. However, recent studies of very detailed Hubble images suggest the onset of some tidal interaction between the two.
M60 lies roughly 54 million light-years away from Earth; NGC 4647 is about 63 million light-years away.
This image combines exposures from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2.

Event on February 12 to Help West Virginia Students and Parents Apply for Money for College
CreatedThursday, January 26 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
The third annual West Virginia College Goal Sunday (CGS) event will be held at several sites around West Virginia, including Bluefield State College on Sunday, February 12, 2011. The BSC event begins at 1 p.m. in the W. Paul Cole, Jr. School of Business/Mahood Hall on the Bluefield State College campus.
This event is an opportunity for students and parents to have financial aid experts provide free assistance in filling out the 2012-13 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the cornerstone of the higher education financial aid application process.
The FAFSA is a crucial first step for all college students who plan to pay for college with the help of grants, scholarships, work-study funds and/or student loans.
Individuals who plan to attend college and would like help with completion of the FAFSA or would like answers regarding general financial aid questions are encouraged to attend. Interested students and parents are asked to bring their Social Security numbers, 2011 Federal Tax Return, W-2, other income records, driver's license and other valid ID to the session. Each family who completes the Student/Family Survey during the CGS event will be eligible to register for an iPAD giveaway. The more income information that families can provide, the more likely they will be able to submit their FAFSA on the day of the event. Additionally, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) will be available to provide information and assistance regarding tax preparation. All information shared is protected by privacy laws. To register and learn more about College Goal Sunday and specific time and site information, visit: www.cfwv.com.
This year's College Goal Sunday efforts in West Virginia are coordinated by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission, the West Virginia TRiO Association, and the West Virginia Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators with funding by a grant from the Lumina Foundation.
Individuals interested in learning more about College Goal Sunday at Bluefield State College are encouraged to contact College Goal Sunday site coordinator Dr. Sarita A. Rhonemus (firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-327-4096).

Let's cut to the chase. I'm a bad driver. There's no use denying it. The writing's on my car – every bumper and door. I'm not reckless, just easily distracted—mountain scenery, donut shops, and men in the flannel tend to steer me into curbs. And, during the winter, my ability level drastically decreases, making getting to the hills a little tricky.
Once my driving reputation got around the office, I was deemed the perfect candidate for the Bridgestone Winter Driving School in Steamboat, Colorado.
And so, I swallowed my pride and headed to the 'Boat to learn how to operate a car in treacherous winter conditions: ice, slush, snow, low visibility, you name it. Not to mention, I was on a personal mission to prove to my friends who refuse to get into my car that I can drive without hitting a curb or backing into a light pole.
After a day of instruction, fishtailing, and coming close to crashing into the instructor's car only once, I came away with some important tips. Allow me to share.

Papers reduce workforceSTAFF REPORT | November 30,2012The Rutland Herald and its sister paper, the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, laid off four workers this week, a sign the newspaper industry continues to struggle.
Each of the papers laid off a news assistant. The Rutland Herald also laid off an information technology worker and a clerical worker in subscriber services.
Catherine Nelson, general manager of the Mitchell family-owned papers, said Thursday the staff reductions were driven in part by an overdue consolidation of certain job functions and the economy.
Nelson said while the economy is moving in the right direction, the pace of recovery remains "extremely slow."
"We see really kind of encouraging signs about that but we don't believe for a minute that we're going to have an economy that's going to grow significantly and everybody believes that," she said.
A major responsibility of the news assistants at the two papers was to handle obituary notices. But Nelson said that function will be transitioned to front office personnel, which is typical at most papers.
She said the IT position was no longer required because the company now outsources the printing of both papers.
The company lost its press in Barre during the flood of May 2011, resulting in several million dollars in damage.
The Rutland Herald and Times Argus together employ approximately 90 workers.

So far, I've been wrong about Felton, and I hope for the sake of the Knicks that he'll continue to keep proving me wrong. It's a small sample size, but so far this season he's shown nothing but determination.
GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- The Knicks have grabbed many of the headlines for their 3-0 start -- their best start since 1999 -- and their early success brought out some new media faces to practice on Wednesday, even with the upcoming snowstorm.
But for a team featuring many veteran players, several who've won on the NBA Finals stage, the bigger spotlight is nothing new. The Knicks remain grounded and understand they have a long road ahead.
Starting point guard Raymond Felton put things into perspective after Wednesday's practice.
"We can't be satisfied right now," he said. "We're not going to lay it down like, 'We've got everything figured out.' We still got a long way. We still got to get better on defense, we still got to execute better on offense. We still got a lot of things we got to do. We've got to rebound better.
"There are so many things that we need to do to improve that we can't stop where we're at right now. We want to get better, each and every day. That's why we work so hard in practice. That's why we push each other each and every day in practice."
The guys have been playing as a unit on offense and defense, from the starting five to the second unit, but Marcus Camby said it's all about maintaining that same high level of production night in and night out.
With the Knicks having a few straight days of preparation this week, it will be interesting to see how they start and play Friday night. Many guys talk about how staying in rhythm helps their game -- based largely on playing games close apart -- and the Knicks were in that groove from Friday to Monday. Of course, playing at MSG helps, and the Knicks know the importance of winning at home, especially this season with the tighter race for the Atlantic Division crown.
"That's going to be huge. We've got to use the Garden as our friend and our family," Mike Woodson said recently.
If the Knicks come out strong against the 3-1 Mavericks, and build on that energy and efficiency -- and win -- it will add another layer of optimism that they're practicing the right way, have the ideal personnel and chemistry, and are one of the best teams in the league.

So far, I've been wrong about Felton, and I hope for the sake of the Knicks that he'll continue to keep proving me wrong. It's a small sample size, but so far this season he's shown nothing but determination.
He actually looks better than he ever has.
I guess it was D'Antoni's 7 seconds or less nonsense that turned Felton into a real detestable player. I didn't even really like him when he was a knick the first time because SO.. MANY .. TIMES.. he would just run up to our side of the court and chuck an off balanced shot and a possession would be wasted. It drove me crazy. He took so many dumb unneeded shots but I guess it wasn't really his decision.
He doesn't do that at all anymore. Im very pleased with his shot selection.
It's cause he has a coach who focuses less on shot volume and more on distribution and finding the best opportunity.
D'Antoni's system works with one type of player, and that's an all-star PG with an amazing outside shot. In other words, Steve Nash, Steve Nash, and Steve Nash.
Ray Felton's drives to the hole tonight were All Star quality. The Spurs had no answer for his aggression, strength and speed tonight. He made the far more celebrated Parker his wench when the Knicks needed someone to step up.
So proud of the way he's redeemed himself, and the fact that he knew full well what would be expected of him in the mecca.
Hats off to you, Ray.
I was one of those people that liked the Felton deal and thought that many Knicks fans had short term memory when they overlooked what he did for them 2 years ago. He almost made the all-star team and had it not been for the Nuggets being greedy and asking for him in the Melo trade I think the Knicks would have been a much better team than they were from the second half of the 2010-11 until last season. He looks very motivated to be a Knick and if he keeps this up I think he definitely should be an all-star. But I don't want to speak to soon. Hopefully he doesn't feel fatigue later on in the season.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
Ray "chip on my shoulder" Felton is doing exactly what he promised. He loves playing for NYC and it shows in his production.
Real Talk
Not the worst timing possible but let's hope he doesn't have to miss time. I want to see Felton running the show against the Nets and Heat so we can see how composed he can be under the heavy defensive pressure.Felton suffered a left hand injury during Sunday's game against the Suns and will have an MRI, the New York Newsday reports.
Felton put up 23 points, seven assists and three rebounds in 39 minutes Sunday, but this hand injury sounds somewhat concerning. The Knicks don't play again until Wednesday, but if Felton is forced to miss time, Pablo Prigioni would likely be in line to start at point guard.
Feltons the last guy we can afford to have a serious injury, unlike pablo and Kidd felton is capable of breaking down the defense and getting to the basket.
Seems like we become more of a jump shooting team when feltons not on the floor.. suree it's all dandy when the shots are falling but when your going up against defensive teams like Miami etc etc things become tougher and the defense tightens up
@nyknicks: An MRI of Raymond Felton's left hand revealed a contusion and bone bruise. He is listed as day-to-day.
@RFeltonGMBS: Thanks to everyone for checking on me and yes I will be ok. Just a bone bruise and I'm going to take it one day at a time.
Felton is a gamer, he won't miss much time if any..we have 2 days off now. Kidd returns if Felton can't go...imo

CNJ staff
ABILENE, Texas — Junior guard Reggie Nelson hit a go-ahead 3-pointer and two key free throws in the final minute Tuesday night and Eastern New Mexico University slipped past Abilene Christian 74-71 in a Lone Star Conference South Division men's game.
The win assures ENMU (9-16, 4-7 South) a fifth-place finish in the division following consecutive 0-12 seasons. The Greyhounds, who host Texas A&M-Kingsville in their finale on Saturday, were eliminated from postseason consideration with a loss Saturday at Angelo State.
Senior guard Jimmie Marshall had 16 points and 10 assists for the Hounds, while junior forward Tyler Nelson added 16 points and eight rebounds.
ACU (8-18, 1-10) got only 27 points from its starters on 9-of-27 shooting, including 2-of-10 from 3-point range. The Wildcats were led by reserves Dustin Heiman and Marcus Washington with 13 points apiece.
The Hounds led the entire way except for four ties. The last one came at 69-69 with 1:22 left on a layup by Heiman off a steal by Washington.
Nelson found the bottom of the net from 22-feet on the next trip down. After two free throws by Abilene Christian's Eddie Thompson, Nelson restored a three-point lead with two foul shots at the 19-second mark.
The Wildcats put up two 3-pointers in the closing seconds, but both were off the mark.
The Hounds shot 55 percent from the field (24-of-24) and converted 20-of-25 from the free throw line, allowing them to overcome 25 turnovers. ACU had just 12 turnovers, but shot 6-of-22 from beyond the arc and 11-of-23 from the line.

Nine students gave up warm weather and headed northward for their spring break to learn more about Native American history and culture. They spent a week living with residents of the Mohican reservation called Stockbridge-Munsee, located near Shawano, WI.
"Visiting areas that are directly connected to an important part of history helps us better understand who we are and what our responsibility is to help others," says Viviana Kabbabe, director of multicultural affairs and trip organizer. Last year, she escorted a group of students through historical cities in the Civil Rights movement.
The Wisconsin trip involved performing service projects at a local church and helping process maple syrup. The students also learned many lessons from their hosts, who shared their life stories and ongoing frustrations as Native Americans.
"I thought their largest struggles were in the past, but I was really surprised to learn that Native Americans are still struggling with the government, are not fully accepted by everyone and are still attempting to keep some of their traditions," says Lisa Mueller '11. "I loved how much respect was shown to the elders and that made me feel guilty since my grandma lives five minutes away and I don't visit her enough."
Kabbabe expected that the group would perform more physical work but instead the service came about by their presence. "The true service of the trip was taking the time to learn more about them and their culture," she adds.
Breakaway service trips in March included: Habitat for Humanity, Mobile, AL, and Gaithersburg, MD; United Methodist Committee On Relief, Hurricane assistance in Galveston, TX; Center for Student Missions, Washington, DC; L'Arche Harbor House, Jacksonville, FL; and Casa de Los Angeles, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Raleigh Enjoys 'Breakout Game' for Binghamton
from press release
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Binghamton men's lacrosse
team scored its first triumph of the 2011 campaign in 11-7 fashion
over the host Canisius Golden Griffins (0-3) at the Demske Sports
Complex Saturday afternoon. Six different Bearcats registered a
goal while four different players notched an assist to pace BU's
highest-scoring contest of the season.
BU's two captains on the offensive side combined for six of the squad's 11 goals. In a breakout performance, senior David Raleigh rattled off a game-high four goals. Fellow captain Frank Donlon scored a pair of goals, each of which directly followed a score from Raleigh.
"I thought we had some really good leadership out there today," head coach Ed Stephenson said. "David [Raleigh] had a breakout game for us and every time the game got close, he put his mark on the game. Overall, it was a great effort from our team."
Sophomore attackman Matt Springer was the third Bearcat to post a multi-goal performance as he scored twice and assisted on Donlon's second goal of the game to open the fourth quarter. With three points on the day, Springer extended his consecutive game scoring streak to 18 straight with a point, dating back to Feb. 20, 2010. His streak warrants national recognition as he ranks among the top-20 national leaders for consecutive games with a point.
In the opening quarter, Binghamton raced out to a 3-0 advantage over the first eight minutes. Newcomer Brandon Planck converted a man-up opportunity at the 13:35 mark as he tallied an unassisted goal. The freshman attackman picked up where he left off against No. 6 Cornell earlier in the week as he posted the team's final two goals Tuesday. Five minutes later, Raleigh found the back of the net for an unassisted goal. Donlon capped the opening surge with a goal at the 6:53 mark, off the assist from junior John Clark.
The host Golden Griffins answered with two consecutive goals and clamped down defensively as they shutout BU for a span of 22 minutes to close the second quarter at 3-2.
Despite the defensive battle in the opening 30 minutes, Binghamton exploded for eight second half goals as they pulled away from a pesky Canisius squad.
Raleigh and Springer each posted goals by the 10:38 mark of the third quarter. Junior Ben Waldron assisted on the score from Raleigh, while sophomore Tyler Perrelle notched one of his team-high two assists on the goal by Springer.
Simon Giourmetakis and Graham Bergsma fueled a two-goal spurt for Canisius as the host squad pulled within 5-4 at the 3:44 mark. With eight seconds left, Raleigh provided a vital spark for the Bearcats as he registered his fourth goal of the game and lifted BU to a 6-4 edge heading into the final frame.
The Bearcats controlled all eight face-offs in the fourth quarter to dominate the possession battle and rack up five goals as they outscored Canisius 5-3 to secure the victory. Donlon scored BU's second man-up goal of the game 22 seconds into the quarter on the assist from Springer. Following a goal from Giourmetakis, Raleigh and Springer each scored in a span of 47 seconds as the Bearcats extended the lead to 9-5, its largest advantage of the contest with 12 minutes remaining. Canisius threatened with two unanswered goals as they trailed 9-7, but Binghamton secured the win with back-to-back goals in a span of 26 seconds with under three minutes to play. Freshman Kelly Donigan recorded his first career goal with 2:40 to play and sophomore Tyler Perrelle followed with an unassisted goal of his own to account for the 11-7 final.
In cage, sophomore Kraig Heston picked up the win on the strength of seven saves and only seven goals against.
Binghamton returns to the Bearcats Sports Complex for a showdown with Hobart on Tuesday at 4 p.m.

"All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's start the auction," said Mike Lewis, with CWS Marketing.
This crowd was there to bid on half a dozen properties on the block as part of an Internal Revenue Service seizure.
He jokingly started at $500,000.
Ever the optimist, he still got no takers.
Dropping down to $25,000, the bidding took off for the property at 308 S. Alta Vista St.
It took less than 10 minutes to finish the bidding as the price raised a $1,000 at a time.
Winning bid went to Eidan Cano with E.C. Contracting.
His purpose – buy the property as an investment.
"I am going to either rent it out or sell it," he said.
As a contractor, Cano said that he doesn't shy away from fixer-up properties. This time, he got lucky. This one is in good shape.
"It is a nice house in a nice neighborhood," he said.
While there were other homes on the list for sale, it was a small business lot and building that were drawing the attention of bidders.
The property, the former location of Carlos Garcia's Tire Shop, started with a bid $25,000.
That's a meager amount of money for the business property at 511 E. Houston Highway.
But, bidding didn't stop and escalated quickly in $5,000 increments.
Eventually, it topped out at $160,000.
This time it was Carl Easley who had the winning bid.
What does he have planned?
"Bulldoze it," he said. "It will be a good parking lot."
Behind the property is a hamburger business that is owned by Garcia.
A small two-car shop sits in the middle of the property.
"That thing leaks so much water you can't do anything with it," he said.
He declined to elaborate on his intentions, saying only, "We will call it a surprise."
Easley said that he was aware of the tires being stored in the business and behind it.
"Those belong to Carlos," he said looking at the man in the cowboy hat and sunglasses sitting beside him inside the home that was already auctioned off.
The five residential and one business property listed in the auction were owned by Casimiro "Casey" Salinas, who was sentenced about year ago in federal court after he pleaded guilty to two counts of the original multi-count drug indictment.
In the case of the business, it was only the physical location and not the business owned by Garcia that was seized.
His plea was an admission to conspiring to possess with the intent to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine, along with engaging in money laundering.

CNJ Staff Photo: Gabriel Monte David Stepanek, of Del Rio, Texas, said he was visting relatives in Clovis as he was shopping for video games at Game Stop at the North Plains Mall. He said the economic downturn and the credit crunch has him shopping for deals and paying with cash.
Gabriel Monte
Jeremy and Michelle King of Clovis said the economic downturn has them spending less during the holidays.
Strolling with their children Saturday through the North Plains Mall, the Kings said their holiday shopping this year is focused on their children.
Michelle King, 32, a state employee, said they are shopping smarter: Looking for deals and paying with cash instead of putting their purchases on credit cards.
Jeremy King, 31, a BNSF Railway employee, said in the past he would apply for loans during the holidays to buy gifts.
"They're harder to pay back," Michelle King said.
Jeremy King said his family's holiday shopping budget is 25 percent less than previous years.
Jolana Griego of Clovis said she plans to spend $500 less than previous holidays.
"I'm not spending like I used to," she said, "everything being so expensive."
David Stepanek of Del Rio, Texas, who was visiting family in Clovis, said the economic downturn has him searching for marked down items for himself as he sifted through the bargain bin of video games at Game Stop.
Like the Kings, Stepanek said he is holstering his credit cards and paying with cash.
"Because of the credit crunch, it seems like they're more unforgiving about late charges," he said.
Experts predict this year's overall holiday shopping period will be the weakest in decades thanks to an overall contraction in spending,
Surprisingly, the holiday shopping season got off to strong start as sales on Black Friday rose 3 percent to $10.6 billion nationally, according to preliminary figures released Saturday by ShopperTrak RCT Corp., a Chicago-based research firm that tracks sales at more than 50,000 retail outlets.
Last year, shoppers spent about $10.3 billion on the day after Thanksgiving, dubbed Black Friday because it was historically the sales-packed day when retailers would become profitable for the year.
While it isn't a predictor of overall holiday season sales, Black Friday is an important barometer of people's willingness to spend during the holidays. Last year, it was the biggest sales generator of the season while the Thanksgiving shopping weekend of Friday through Sunday accounted for about 10 percent of overall holiday sales.

While trade of hazardous waste grew between 2001 and 2007, shipped volumes decreased in 2008 and 2009, probably due to the economic downturn, according to the report 'Movements of waste across the EU's internal and external borders'. Exports of waste plastics and metals picked up again after the economic downturn and exceeded the pre-2009 levels in 2011.
The international trade in recyclable material is expected to continue to grow, the report states, driven by more recycling, growing global competition for resources and increasing awareness of the value of waste. Trade in hazardous waste is also expected to increase, although the driver in this case will be the need to treat waste in specific facilities that are not available in all countries.
Overall the EU should put more efforts into waste prevention in order to become more resource-efficient, a key element of the EU 2020 growth strategy. The report recommends encouraging new technologies and business models that generate less waste, or waste that is less hazardous.
"European countries are exporting more waste than ever," EEA Executive Director Jacqueline McGlade said. "The trade in non-hazardous waste can be seen as largely positive, as material is often transported to places where it can be better used. However, we should not lose sight of the bigger picture – in an increasingly resource-constrained world, Europe needs to dramatically reduce the amount of waste it generates in the first place."
Only 25 % of household waste in Greenland is delivered to recycling stations, so the EEA hopes its new film will inspire residents, in particular youth and children in Greenland and across the Arctic region to change their behaviour. The film will also be supplemented with some educational material for schoolchildren.
The 12 minute film was introduced by EEA Executive Director Prof. Jacqueline McGlade, and Hon. Anthon Frederiksen, Minister of Domestic Affairs, Nature and Environment in Greenland.
Sound waste management in remote areas like the Arctic is always going to be costly. Large-scale modern waste management systems cannot just be copied wholesale from elsewhere in Europe or North America. Greenland, with its harsh natural environment and dispersed population requires unique solutions tailored to the country's context.
Because the huge distances and costs involved, much of the waste in Greenland has been (and in many cases continues to be) tipped into landfills just outside city or settlement limits. And without waste separation, household waste is often mixed with more hazardous waste types like batteries, leftover paint, nail polish or other chemicals.
These hazardous materials can affect the health of the local population when they enter the air through incineration or seep out of landfills which often lack protective layers to avoid leakage. Chemicals can seep down towards the coastal waters where Arctic people catch the fish, shrimp and sea mammals which make up a large part of their diet.
However, there are also some positive stories. For example, 99 % of all plastic and glass bottles used on the west coast of Greenland are returned to recycling plants, making country an inspiring example to the rest of the world.
The film considers this complex situation, proposing solutions which allow Greenlanders to manage waste without damaging their natural environment. Greenland is famous for its awe-inspiring natural landscapes, but this environment is extremely fragile, making the case for better waste management even more urgent.
The film is available in English, Danish and Greenlandic language versions.

Speaking of Heroes, Don't Forget Omar and Alexei

Vizquel's defense has been excellent. His offense has been better than anyone would have guessed, although still not great. I still think the Sox could use some left-handed power and Teahen might provide some.
Also, still not thrilled about Vizquel wearing #11.
I advise Teahen to bring a collection of gloves. He's got value because he hits left-handed and can play three or four spots. But he cannot come back as the regular third baseman.
No way.

The hospital's permanent facility (pictured) opened on Dec. 17, 1756, accepting both mentally ill and general medical patients. Besides being the first hospital in America, it is also home to the first surgical amphitheater and first medical library in America.

Looking for a Native American Documentary-maker
Hi all,
A NYFA thesis student from Bulgaria will soon begin shooting a doc about an Omaha Sioux family who are trying to maintain and nourish their traditional ways against rather daunting societal, economic, and now medical odds. She and I would both like to get her connected to a Native American documentarian for mentoring as she goes. It could be as significant or minimal as anyone is willing to do. She has great craft mentors through the school. And she will have the guidance and advice of several Omaha people. Still, while some of her faculty have made docs with and about Native Americans, none of the Omaha advisers knows anything about filmmaking and none of us has the prospective that an actual Native American might lend her. She'd love to find someone Omaha but will thrilled with anyone who could combine some knowledge of film making with a Native American personal perspective.
Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you, or someone you know, might be willing to help.

from Arts Engine, Inc.:
Our next DocuClub will take place on Thursday, March 22, 7 p.m. at DCTV, located at 87 Lafayette (at Walker). This month, we will screen a rough cut of Changing Face of Harlem by award-winning filmmaker Shawn Batey. March's DocuClub will be moderated by Marilyn Ness, Arts Engine's Director of Production.
Changing Face of Harlem is a one-hour documentary that examines the revitalization of Harlem told through the deeply personal stories of its residents, small business owners, politicians, developers and clergy. The film takes a critical look at Harlem's history, early development, and present transformation. Twenty years ago, according to the press, Harlem was a crime-ridden ghetto full of hoodlums and drugs. Though recognized internationally as "The Black Mecca,†the historic neighborhood was overlooked for decades. Longtime residents weathered the storm despite the lack of city services and building landlord abandonment. Bank practices of redlining in the 1980's prevented many residents from purchasing turn of the century brownstones within their own blocks. Recently, however Harlem has matured into a prosperous locale for commercial and corporate interests. As New York City exhausts its scarce amount of centrally located prime real estate, it has marketed Harlem as an ideal investment. With this influx of new investment has come a younger, more professional, and affluent class of residents. The film offers fresh perspectives from community members on the pressing issues of class, cultural preservation and sustainability.
If you're planning to attend, please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com. Admission at DCTV is free for current DocuClub members and $6 for non-members.
Tickets will be sold at the door, cash only.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
No admittance after 7:15 p.m. Membership is an annual $50 and it includes free admission to all DocuClub events. It takes five minutes to join online:

Hello! I am looking for a grant writer to help with my film – Star in the RIng – it tells the story of when Jews DOMINATED the sport of boxing. It is a part of Jewish history / American history and sport history, that is all but forgotten.
I am honored to say that I received a grant from The Righteous Persons Foundation.
The ideal grant writer could start with helping me write a two page letter of inquiry that can be tailored to the foundations I have narrowed down. I am part of NYFA – which makes this project have a 501 – c – 3 status. I am hoping the good people here – who have done this adventure, may have some recommendations they had good experience and are willing to share. I have been in touch with Joanna Rabiger – she sounds wonderful from people on here... but she is not available till the summer.

You guys have demanded we talk about Heavy Rain for weeks. Believe me, the Feedback crew (heck, the whole G4 staff) has wanted to talk about Heavy Rain for weeks, too. Thankfully, with Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain now on store shelves, the Heavy Rain edition of Feedback is now here. Andrew Pfister, Adam Sessler, Sterling McGarvey, Mike Leffler of X-Play and myself headed into the studio to discuss 2010's most controversial game yet. There are some strong opinions on this one, friends.
In this week's episode of Feedback...
- Three of us spent most of last week at the Red Rock Casino & Resort in Las Vegas to take in DICE 2010. We went, we saw, we learned, we talked. Find out what our big takeaways were.
- Heavy Rain discussion for a good, long time. 'Nuff said!
- A user wonders whether younger gamers play video games for a different reason and whether older gamers with more experience go into playing video games with a unique eye.

TheStreet Ratings Top 10 Rating Changes
NEW YORK ( TheStreet Ratings ) -- Every trading day TheStreet Ratings' stock model reviews the investment ratings on around 4,300 U.S. traded stocks for potential upgrades or downgrades based on the latest available financial results and trading activity.
TheStreet Ratings released rating changes on 34 U.S. common stocks for week ending January 11, 2013. 30 stocks were upgraded and four stocks were downgraded by our stock model.
Rating Change #10
Inergy L.P. (NRGY) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, notable return on equity and reasonable valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself and generally higher debt management risk.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income increased by 1175.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$50.20 million to $540.00 million.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, INERGY LP's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for INERGY LP is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 32.80%. Regardless of NRGY's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, NRGY's net profit margin of 177.51% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- NRGY has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 19.81% from its price level of one year ago. Turning toward the future, the fact that the stock has come down in price over the past year should not necessarily be interpreted as a negative; it could be one of the factors that may help make the stock attractive down the road. Right now, however, we believe that it is too soon to buy.
- NRGY's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.71 is somewhat low overall, but it is high when compared to the industry average, implying that the management of the debt levels should be evaluated further. Despite the fact that NRGY's debt-to-equity ratio is mixed in its results, the company's quick ratio of 0.56 is low and demonstrates weak liquidity.

Built between 1875 and 1886 in west London, Bedford Park is the first garden suburb and one of the most influential housing developments in Britain.
In his 1904 book, Das Englische Haus, Herman Muthesius wrote: "There was at the time virtually no development that could compare in artistic charm with Bedford Park, least of all had the small house found anything like so satisfactory and artistic and economic solution as here. And herein lies the immense importance of Bedford Park in the history of the English house. It signifies neither more nor less that the starting point of the smaller modern house, which immediately spread from there over the whole country."
Writing in the Daily Telegraph in August 1960 Sir John Betjeman, who later became the Society's first patron, called Bedford Park "the most significant suburb built in the last century, probably the most significant in the Western world."
The Bedford Park Society aims to protect the amenities of the garden suburb, the buildings and their setting, and to ensure any development is in keeping with the original character. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in Bedford Park; you can join at our membership application page.

PCC places student newspaper adviser on leave following stories critical of the administration
By Nick Smith 03/29/2013
Warren Swil, faculty adviser to the Courier, Pasadena City College's student newspaper, was abruptly placed on administrative leave and escorted off campus Thursday.
Friday afternoon, PCC Public Relations Director Juan Gutierrez said Swil was placed on paid administrative leave by Dr. Robert Bell, PCC's assistant superintendent and senior vice president of student and learning services, "pending an independent outside investigation into allegations of misconduct pursuant to a formal complaint recently lodged with Dr. Bell."
The complaint, Gutierrez wrote in a statement, "is not connected in any way with Professor Swil's performance as adviser to the student newspaper, the Courier, or with his performance as a journalism teacher."
Because this is a confidential personnel matter, "the college is required to zealously guard the privacy of the process and of the individuals involved. The college cannot divulge the nature of the complaint filed with Dr. Bell and will make no further comment on this personnel matter," Gutierrez wrote.
Sources close to the situation believe Swil may have been relieved of duty because the newspaper has been running stories critical of the administration.
Two weeks ago, both the PCC Associated Students and the Faculty Ad Hoc Committee cast votes of "no-confidence" against PCC President Mark Rocha. Students are upset over the elimination of Winter Intercession classes, which have allowed students to finish their junior college course work before moving onto four-year universities. Faculty members are upset because fewer classes mean less hours and pay. Both groups say Rocha and his administration implemented the cut without consulting them, undermining the concept of "shared governance" of the campus.
PCC faculty member Melissa Michelson questioned the timing of the administration's decision to relieve Swil of his duties.
"For a faculty member to be advising the Courier for six years straight, it must mean he'd been doing a fine job. Why, all of a sudden, is he being dismissed, and what kind of faculty adviser will be taking on Swil's duties for the Courier? Will the Courier continue to print the tough news stories that it's been doing lately?" Michelson wrote in a post following the Courier's online story about Swil. Faculty members, she wrote, are "are very concerned for our colleague, given what seems an uncanny and timely dismissal immediately following the Courier's valiant and comprehensive press coverage on the votes of no confidence."
"This is the third time [the school has] done this to tenured faculty member within that past five years. They have basically, without notice, escorted them off campus without any kind of charges launched against them. They tended to do it late in the day, when no one else is on campus. It's really unfair treatment of the faculty," said Suzanne Anderson, Swil's union grievance officer.
Contacted at the school Friday, Swil referred comment to his attorney, who did not return calls.
Roger Marheine, president of the PCC Faculty Association (PCCFA), accompanied Swil Friday as he cleaned out his office under the supervision of a PCC police officer.
When asked why he thought Swil was placed on leave, Marheine wouldn't speculate.
"I don't know. I have no idea," he said. "It's just that we want to see the paperwork to assess what the college is saying. And we will legally defend Warren to the best of our ability."
Swil has been serving as adviser to the Courier since 2007. The following was written about him on his official faculty hiring summary by former Board of Trustees Vice President Jackie Jacobs.
"Warren has served as an editor with the Los Angeles Times, the San Gabriel Valley Newspapers and the Daily News, as well as having been a working reporter," Jacobs wrote. "Some comments from references were: 'He is an outstanding professional … always approachable, humble and skillful. He has the right stuff to be a great teacher.' And, 'I have never seen him angry or upset. Works well with young people. We need more good teachers like Warren.'"
Courier Editor-in-Chief Nicholas Saul said he was disappointed.
"All I can say is that it is hard not having an adviser in the final weeks of the semester," Saul wrote in an email. "Rocha did make it clear that he had a problem with our coverage, but as of now, I can't say for sure whether that went into the decision to place Swil on administrative leave."
"It's always suspect when you have an outspoken faculty member who's been supporting faculty issues and that faculty member is removed," Marheine said. "That's always suspect."

Dear Nick Smith,
Please note that the PCC Faculty Association did not initiate nor conduct the Vote of No Confidence on President Mark Rocha. Such action was undertaken exclusively by the Ad Hoc Faculty Committee. Please follow the link below for the PCCFA's official statement on the issue:
First and foremost, PCC is a CORPORATE entity. Modern, Super Bank-dominated corporate entities ARE NOT democracies. In the rule of capitalist-whoreshipping corporate entities, there is the tyrant (some form of CEO, or a junta with a CEO leader), next there is the small "middle-class (eg the faculty), and finally the rest (all those educationally-shortchanged, unwashed student masses) are just economically-exploited hoi-polloi who should ONLY follow orders.
Yeah, these vulture-capitalist institutions may have some sort of quasi-constitution that wacks off about "democratic" input, but in the end, if you try too hard while constitutionally pissing on the tyrant, as is happening here, the educational oligarch will most certainly crap back on you with a much bigger load of whup-ass.
It's much like WDC today, (excessively) beginning with Raygun, tyranny took over America. became blatantly obvious with Dubya, and now BarryHO assures us that he can drone-slaughter anybody he goddam-well wants to so we better keep our heads down and our opinions unspoken if we don't want an explosive "haircut."
Nothing new here now folks, so move-along and go cheer your Lakers (or something else as equally inane.
I think you're being followed by those "Black Helicopters" again. Better reinforce the tin foil on the home windows and don't forget to wrap some around your head so "the Government" is unable to read your thoughts too.
Why do you insist on letting us all know (once again) that your ad-hominem brain processes really do lack any lucid relevance to whatever subject you've chosen to attack?
Your children must be really embarassed to admit that you had sexual relations with their mother.
Guess I struck a nerve. My apologies if your feelings were hurt.
My bad.
Just kidding. You're stupid!
Hey Troll (PG);
Thanks for proving my point.
Too easy. . . . .

Community spirit soars at African drum and dance event
April 19, 2013 —
BETHEL, NY — Maxwell Kofi Donkor and Sankofa returned to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on April 14 as part of the center's World Stage Series. The series has grown in popularity in recent years and offers free events to the community, providing a wide range of performances from all around the globe. Last Sunday, the Event Gallery was filled to capacity with families, many of whom arrived early to participate in a signature aspect of the series, a hands-on art activity, this time based on the traditional arts of Africa.
Drummer Donkor, who considers the presentation of Ghanian art and culture his mission, explained that "drumming is the heartbeat of humanity. It balances both positive and negative energies in the individual and ultimately in the community. Drumming heals."
Combing learning with fun is what this troupe does so well, and last weekend's show was no exception. Instantly drawing the audience in, Donkor explained how a "call-and-response" participation works and got the ball rolling with the traditional Sankofa (welcome), Amanko (togetherness), Kpatsa (celebrate) and Gidi gidi (peace). The dancers, dressed in colorful African robes, entered the room and joined Donkor and the other drummers on stage as projections of the continent played across the giant screen. The crowd was instantly transported, learning about the percussive instruments and roots of Sankofa's performance, which is designed to "create an atmosphere of an indigenous African village where everyone gets involved."
"When the drums are played," he explained, "there is dialogue between them, like a language which is complimented by voices in call-and-response. The chants lead the way for other instruments like sheakeres, flutes and xylophones, and dancers complete the performance giving additional meaning to an already powerful experience."
As sight and sound filled the air, dancers mingled with the audience, inviting the kids to participate and share the communal spirit that the ensemble promotes through its message of celebrating cultural diversity. As the kids drummed and whirled, the dialogue between the performers and audience built, fulfilling the group's mission of "generating a feeling of connectedness and togetherness. The spirit of community, sharing, joy, peace and love calls everyone alike… breaking the barriers of race, color, or gender." By the end of the show, everyone was on their feet dancing, singing and celebrating those very sentiments.
