Known for his network of conservative websites that draws millions of readers everyday, Andrew Breitbart has one main goal: to make sure the "liberally biased" major news outlets in this country cover all aspects of a story fairly. Breitbart is convinced that too many national stories are slanted by the news media in an unfair way.
In Righteous Indignation, Breitbart talks about the key issues that Americans face, how he has aligned himself with the Tea Party, and how one needs to deal with the liberal news world head on. Along the way, he details his early years, working with Matt Drudge, the Huffington Post, and so on, and how Breitbart developed his unique style of launching key websites to help get the word out to conservatives all over.
A rollicking and controversial read, Breitbart will certainly raise your blood pressure, one way or another.

"Very insightful!"
Most of us realize by now that the mainstream media is controlled by the left. Breitbart does a great job of explaining how it got that way, and gives valuable insight as to how they operate. Breitbart got to the point where he could predict with great accuracy how the liberal media would respond to a story or event before they actually did. Any conservative planning on running for office had better buy this book and memorize it, or risk becoming "Palinized" in their campaign. A fantastic "how-to" book on dismantling and counter-attacking the baseless charges leveled by the left wing media. Hint: Offense, not defense.
"Please get this book!"
I wish I could write as clearly and concisely as the author, Andrew Breitbart. Nothing I can scribble here today will do justice to this book. Whether you're a veteran Tea Party member, or just plain confused by the ongoing media culture wars, you must read or listen to this thoroughly entertaining and informative writer's work. Jeremy Guskin narrates the audio version flawlessly and with passion which makes, at least for me, the audio version the most important book I've purchased in a number of years.
As other reviewers have noted, chapter 6 is a concise yet amazingly complete synopsis of both the structure, development, and operational methods of the left. Listen to it more than once and take notes. This is important stuff. You will discover there are immediate benefits to be gained from a clear understanding of this chapter. This is not to say the earlier chapters are less important, just more developmental in their structure.
I've been fascinated by the left since my college days in the early 60's, and have spent much of my time since on a quest to understand their motivations. They've paraded before us a seemingly endless conga line of victims. They've characterized those of us objecting to their intrusions into our lives as bigots, haters and worse. They invented PC - the closest thing to an anti-free speech doctrine yet devised. They've invaded our schools, our universities, our governments and our daily lives with little or no resistance - till now.
Breitbart helped summarize my observations and studies of the past 40 years and filled in a number of missing elements. I now know one thing for certain - the left can and must be engaged! This book will tell you how.
Chapter 6 of this book, Breakthrough, is the best short explanation of how this country got turned ass-backward politically, socially, and, now, alas economically. Rousseau to Marx to the Progressives to the Frankfurt School and Critical Theory to Chairman Mao and Hillary's main-man, Saul Alinsky, and before you know it Barrack Obama's holding court in the Oval Office. An amazing piece of work. Should be required reading for citizenship. Way to go, Andrew.
"Brilliant, Pompous, and Great"
I've never really "known" who Andrew Breitbart was. Sure, I remember the ACORN story explosion, and the confirmation (for me at least) that the traditional media is so out to lunch it's scary, but I didn't know this guy. If I'm honest I probably thought he was some rich guy who threw money around trying to influence politics, a la George Soros, but as it turns out I was wrong. Andrew Breitbart is what I can safely call a visionary. He saw what the problem was before most people knew there was a problem, and he know what the solution is. Read this book, Jeremy Guskin does a great job narrating Breitbart's words, and for someone like me who can't remember ever seeing an interview with the man, the voice could have been his for all I'm concerned.
His tone is arrogant at times, but the overall tone is like an older brother trying to give you pointers on how to pick up that really cute girl in your English class. All I can tell you is "Trust me, it will work!"

"CPR: Captivating, Profound & Relevant"
I've listened to Righteous Indignation three times now and will most probably listen again real soon. It's that good! It's flows beautifully with an honest, sincere and poignant approach to very serious issues currently affecting all of us. Jeremy Guskin's delivery of Breitbart's book is perfection; yes, beyond perfection! His voice isn't that of a polished announcer; it will grab and hold your attention for hours. If you're at all like me, my mind seems to drift a bit while listening to audiobooks. Not the case with this work of genius. It plainly explains! It digs deep and uncovers the strange history of what got us bogged down in political correctness and the diabolical reasons why! And you'll be given hope and encouraged to join the battle while being thoroughly entertained.
"Great read and a deserved slam on the old media!"
Great job Andrew! Hope to meet you at a Tea Party rally someday soon. Never let them win!
"Listened to the whole book in one day."
Breitbart is like a lot of us. Not caring at all about conservative politics until something just dawns on him. And poof! A political junky is born.
This book was very interesting for several reasons. Andrew and I got into conservatism roughly at the same time. As I read, I remembered just about every event.
However, Andrew actually became a player (unlike me) and played a significant role in shaping things.
This book tells how it happened. There is quite a good explanation of Saul Alinsky's tactics. It is also highly motivational.
Great book.
"Superb audiobook!"
Simply put, one of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to. When I purchased this book, I "hoped" it would be worth the time and money...It was!
"New Media History"
A concise, but revealing insight into the history of Andrew Breitbart and to an essential cog in the new media conservative movement. It also gives a unique reveal of the decisions that were made involving the ACORN videos as well as delving into the early movement that was started by Matt Drudge online and how it impacted Breitbart.
"Do yourself a favor...LISTEN!"
If I had started earlier in the day, I would have listened straight through! The book is excellent; the narration is great, as well.
"must listen"
i loved this book and just wish it was longer. Breightbart was a visionary and must not be forgotten.

Baking Measurements
Kneading Dough
Kneading dough evenly distributes the ingredients, develops structure and makes the dough elastic so that it will rise and stay risen as the yeast works. Use a press, fold and turn motion. To knead dough:
- Flatten the ball of dough with your hands and fold it in half toward you.
- Press and push the dough away with the heels of your hands.
- Rotate the dough a quarter turn and repeat these steps for 5 to 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Folding in Ingredients
Beaten egg whites or whipped cream are common ingredients that are folded into batters and other mixtures. They both contain air in the form of small bubbles, so folding, rather than mixing, is done to retain the air in the mixture. The egg whites and whipping cream are fragile, so use a light touch. To fold in egg whites or whipped cream:
- Start with a large bowl containing the heavier mixture and place half of the egg whites or whipped cream on top of the mixture.
- Using a circular motion with a rubber scraper, cut through the center of the mixture across the bottom of the bowl, gently lifting up and over.
- After each fold, rotate the bowl slightly in order to incorporate the ingredients evenly.
- Fold in the remaining egg whites or whipped cream until both mixtures are uniformly combined and no streaks remain.

Boz J. Tchividjian Addresses Biblical Seminary's 85 Graduating Students
Among this year's graduates: Brother and Sister Jimmy and Lisa Kuo from New Zealand, both receiving the MA in Ministry degree; and mother and daughter Karen and Karissa Kelley, both receiving the MA in Counseling degree.
Basyle (Boz) J. Tchividjian challenged Biblical's graduating class with the commencement address, "You Have Been Liberated — Go Forth!" based on Galatians 6:14. The 42nd annual commencement ceremony began at 11 a.m. on June 22 at LCBC BranchCreek in Harleysville, PA. Joining him was President David G. Dunbar and President-elect Dr. Frank A. James, III.
Boz, grandson of evangelist Billy Graham, has dedicated his life and career to fulfilling God's command to "do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with [his] God" (Micah 6:8). He is the founder and executive director of GRACE: Godly Response to Abuse in the Church and law professor at Liberty University.
Prior to his position at Liberty University, Boz was a partner at Landis Graham French, P.A., one of the oldest law firms in Florida. His work there focused on labor and employment law and civil litigation for damages associated with child sexual abuse.
He also worked as Assistant State Attorney for Florida's 7th Judicial Circuit from 1994-2001. In that role, he developed the sexual crimes division of the Office of State Attorney and prosecuted hundreds of cases involving children. He also lectured for the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association and the Florida Conference on Child Abuse.
In addition to his legal work, Boz co-authored Invitation: Billy Graham and the Lives God Touched (2008 Multnomah Press).
In the spirit of Jesus' words in John 20:21, we hope you joined us as we honor the men and women who have invested in ministry preparation and are now being sent out to follow Jesus into the world.

City crews descended on the Occupy Honolulu campsite at the corner of Ward Avenue and Beretania Street just after 1 p.m. Thursday.
Armed with the new sidewalk property law, a backhoe, storage disposal notices and plastic storage bins, city crews went in to dismantle the sidewalk campsite.
They matched the property that remained with snapshots of items that were tagged with warning notices more than 24 hours before.
"This is about property, not about people. We understand that a number of people here do want to assert their First Amendment rights. We're very happy that they want to do that, and we're willing to let them do that," said Trish Morikawa, county coordinator for the Office of Housing.
City crews did not touch protest signs and other objects that contained protestors' views so as not to violate First Amendment Rights.
"I think we have different ideas of what First Amendment property is. I think that everything here is part of our First Amendment right to freely assemble, first of all. And a lot of our tents have signs on them. They're an active representation with messaging on them about why we're here," said Jamie Baldwin, an Occupy Honolulu protestor.
City crews dismantled the tents, removed their contents and stored the property in plastic storage bins.
At one point, a protester dove into a tent that was about to be dismantled and dashed off with it before settling directly in front of a backhoe.
Police arrested the man, whom protestors identified as Lucas Miller.
Some nearby workers and residents stood by and expressed relief that the camp that has been in place since Nov. 5 was finally being removed.
"Kind of dirty for me -- make Hawaii feel shame. And every day I come through here with my granddaughter, and my granddaughter ask me, 'Papa -- it looks kind of messy. I don't think we should be here,'" said Pete, a nearby resident.
City crews also cleared parts of Aala Park and the Iwilei area on Thursday, filling 28 storage bins at the combined sites.
The unclaimed property will be taken to the Facility and Maintenance Baseyard in Halawa -- where the property will be held for 30 days.
Property owners can claim their belongings at no charge by calling the number on their Storage and Disposal notices.
The city earlier cleared homeless camps in the Old Stadium Park area, Moiliili Field and the Pawaa Park area in January, because those areas received the most complaints.
The Occupy Honolulu protesters received about 30 complaints.
Protesters said they'll stick around the area awhile longer and are discussing other locations to occupy next.

Chances are you have a mobile phone – according to a Pew Research Center Internet & American Life Project survey, almost 90 percent of us do. And like most of us, you may not pore over every line on your monthly phone bill to understand what you are really paying for. Too bad, because mobile cramming – adding charges to mobile bills that people didn't authorize or know about – is an illegal practice – and it has become practically epidemic, according to the FTC.
The consumer protection agency is trying to change that landscape, using enforcement, consumer education, and policy discussions. Today, the FTC issued a report with five key recommendations for industry stakeholders that could protect all of us mobile phone users from mobile cramming. Read it here – but in the meantime, here's what you can do to protect yourself:
File a complaint with the FTC and let us know what's happening. If you suspect you've been a victim of mobile cramming, call your mobile carrier first to complain, then fill out our complaint form online, or call 1-877-FTC-HELP.

"There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." (Leonard Cohen)
Christmas is approaching, and in Québec it's a time of dazzling snowfalls, bright lights, and gatherings with friends in front of blazing hearths. But shadows are falling on the usually festive season for Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. Most of his best agents have left the Homicide Department, his old friend and lieutenant Jean-Guy Beauvoir hasn't spoken to him in months, and hostile forces are lining up against him.
When Gamache receives a message from Myrna Landers that a longtime friend has failed to arrive for Christmas in the village of Three Pines, he welcomes the chance to get away from the city. Mystified by Myrna's reluctance to reveal her friend's name, Gamache soon discovers the missing woman was once one of the most famous people not just in North America, but in the world, and now goes unrecognized by virtually everyone except the mad, brilliant poet Ruth Zardo.
As events come to a head, Gamache is drawn ever deeper into the world of Three Pines. Increasingly, he is not only investigating the disappearance of Myrna's friend but also seeking a safe place for himself and his still-loyal colleagues. Is there peace to be found even in Three Pines? And at what cost to Gamache and the people he holds dear?

"Wow, LP wrapped up one part a little too fast"
I love ALL of Louise Penny's books and Ralph Cosham's narrations. I usually give 5 stars, but this is the first one where I thought --without a spoiler-- that the murder plot line wasn't probable (murderer's motivation) and that Beauvoir's private relationship, developed in some depth in The Beautiful Mystery, got wrapped up head-spinningly fast with a bow on top at the end. Such an important part of B's life deserved more handling, such as a plot line in a next book, rather than throwing it away by giving it such short shrift in this book and tacking the resolution into the ending.
Dept Q, Harry Hole... where are you?
"A Brilliant Light"
I was late discovering Louise Penny. I flew threw the first 8 novels,, giving every one of them a sterling review. So when I began this one, I realized I was completely burned out with Inspector Gamache and the village of 3 Pines. So I put it a side for a couple of months and it proved to be a wise decision.
How the Light Gets In is the smartest, most complicated story in the series. The depth of character development is simply remarkable. Gamache is vulnerable, humble, brilliant and scheming.
Ralph Cosham delivers another great performance. From an interview with the author and Cosham, he revealed that he never reads ahead while recording. He is the choice of Penny, who also tagged him in the first movie, presumably coming out soon.
This is a great read!
Mystery reader (especially series) and Austen lover
"Welcome Home!"
There are so many glowing reviews of this book that I wasn't going to write one, but I just can't help it: I have to write it. I so LOVE this book and this series. I love Armand Gamache and his wife Reine Marie and their wonderful understanding relationship. I love the village of Three Pines and its wonderful, flawed, loving residents.
When you begin an Inspector Gamache novel, you are drawn into his world. And when the story moves to Three Pines, the village embraces you like a huge, loving, comforting hug from Myrna, bookseller extraordinaire.
To my mind, How the Light Gets In is one of the best of the Gamache series, and is a welcome return to Three Pines. While investigating the death of a character clearly based on the Dionne quintuplets, Gamache is also preparing, with the few allies he has left, for a decisive confrontation with his enemies in the Force. As a result, the reader gets a healthy dose of all that's wonderful about Three Pines and its denizens, along with a suspense which grows steadily and inexorably toward the confrontation. Many questions are answered and many puzzles are solved while Gamache maintains his courage and integrity.
Ralph Cosham's narration brings it all to sparkling life, with never the slightest waver or misstep. I particularly enjoyed the conversation between Penny and Cosham at the end of the recording.
I agree with previous reviewers that the Gamache books should be read in order, beginning with Still Life. While you might enjoy the story without the previous details, Louise Penny's characters are so like real people, who have grown, made mistakes, learned things, and hopefully improved as people, that you will miss the full emotional richness if you don't have all that background.
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
"A Suspenseful Winter's Tale"
I really love this book! We're back in Three Pines for much of the action, there's an intriguing and touching mystery relating to legendary Canadian quintuplets, and the background plot line which has continued through most of the series progresses nicely.
Louise Penny has a great bag of tricks. She varies her locations, gives us more than one side to each character, and thus keeps us a little off balance with each new book. Who knew she could pull off a longish episode of cyber suspense so well? There's a lot of action (computer and real time) in this addition to the series. The wonderful cast of characters and the humor are front and center - add this to the usual spot-on narration of Ralph Cosham, and you have a very satisfying addition to the Inspector Gamache series. If you haven't read them, I'd advise starting at the beginning with "Still Life" and going through them in order.
"I never want Louise Penny's books to end!"
You'll laugh and cry and want to move to Three Pines.
Louise Penny has the remarkable gift of intertwining a true mystery (and in this case two mysteries) with real characters whom she allows you to know deeply. I don't know how she does it, but instead of being an observer you feel as though you are there with them. You feel the brutal cold and smell the acrid sweat and taste the café au lait.
I absolutely love her writing style and cannot get enough.
Can't help myself - as much as I adore Gamache, Three Pines would be incomplete without the demented poet, Ruth.
I found myself laughing out loud during the very first chapter, and was deeply moved by the love Gamache feels for his agents - especially rude Nicole (whom I suspect is partially autistic)
Please give us more.
"Armand Gamache, Cyber Detective!"
I realize that if you're considering this book, like myself, you've already read every other Gamache novel. And, like me, you're a solid Penny fan. So I KNOW I'm going to take heat for this review. I'll try to make it as quick as ripping a bandaid off.
Let's start off with this: You're going to read this book. You will. You'll do it because there are a lot of plots from previous books that get tied up here and you want to know what path Jean-Guy ultimately chooses, how Clara and Peter are getting on, and whatever happened to Agent Nicole.
And going into this book, you'll be expecting the same fantastic writing that we've always gotten in this series, peppered with poetry and humor.
You're not going to get it.
Well, yes, you'll get the plot closures. In many ways, this book feels like the last of the series. You'll even get poetry and humor, albeit the poetry isn't new, we've heard it before in previous books.
The issue with this book is that you'll have to actually forget MAJOR events in the series to make this one fit. For example, remember in The Cruelest Month when Agent Nicole was getting phone calls all throughout the investigation from a mysterious person who wanted to know everything she and Gamache were doing? And how, at one point, Jean Guy attempts to take the phone from her because he suspects she's spying on the Chief Inspector? It was a fairly important part of the plot, it defined Agent Nicole and gave you some insight into why she behaves as she does.
In the same book, do you remember when a certain agent uses the bistro's laptop to go online to research the drug ephedra? He then leaves the page up on the screen on purpose to tip off the community about the drug they're looking for...?
Of course you remember all of that! It was critical to the story!
Well Penny forgot about it.
Now, as she writes it, Three Pines is a complete "dead zone." You can't get on the internet to research ephedra, and you can't use your cell phone while spying on your boss. And it's always been this way. Those previous books were all in your imagination. Yes they were. Don't argue.
And while in previous works we've seen our Chief Inspector use his ability to read and understand the motivations of people to solve crime, in this book we get something entirely different. Gamache is going to put together a team of hackers to break into the archives of the Sûreté du Québec. No, really. Gamache is going cyber-stalking.
And look. You're listening to this as an audio book, right? So you might not be a programming genius, but you at least know how to download a file and put it on an ipod or smart phone, right? You are likely not baffled by the mysteries of downloading.
Unfortunately, Gamache's team of computer experts don't appear to understand this concept. Nor does it occur to them to copy/ paste a file that they're currently reading.
The entire hacking plot-line required more than a slight suspension in belief. I hate saying this, I really, really do. But it was kind of ridiculous. I found myself wishing that Penny had written more about what she knows (characters, community, art, and poetry) and had left off the computer stuff for other writers.
So is this Penny's best? Her most brilliant writing ever? Well, with all respect to the previous reviewers, I don't think so. While I've listened to her other books multiple times (Still Life is my favorite) - sometimes just for Ruth's poetry - this book clearly doesn't have the same draw the others had.
I have never before written a review of a book. What compels me to do so now? Simply put, this book is so glorious that I can't help myself.
Because my work requires so much reading, I no longer read for pleasure. Instead, I listen for pleasure. And I have found no greater pleasure than listening to Ralph Cosham's delightfully cadenced and evocative narration of "How the Light Gets In," the ninth (and final?) book in Louise Penny's expertly-crafted Inspector Gamache series.
A few years ago, I stumbled upon Ms. Penny's first book, "Still Life," and I was instantly hooked. With a wonderful economy of words, Ms. Penny consistently manages to construct a compelling murder mystery while creating sharply-defined characters and developing an ominous subtext that builds to a terrifying crescendo in her ninth book.
And yet, Ms. Penny is much more than a brilliant craftsman; she is a champion of the noblest aspects of the human spirit. Her books are permeated with a deep appreciation of art, poetry, music, and history. Her characters reflect our finest aspirations for friendship, kindness, love, and, most importantly, courage. Ms. Penny unabashedly believes in goodness, but she is not naive – monstrous evil lurks in the hidden recesses of the human soul, feeding in the darkness . . . until the light gets in.
Likes: Cozy mysteries (cats a plus), personal memoirs,not too dark fantasy, books about the brain. Dislikes: Torture, animal cruelty.
"90 Percent Difficult Slog, 10 Percent Happy Ending"
It's very hard to actually rate this book. I really didn't want to read this since I hated the last book so much, but I was trying to get the characters I had grown so fond of out of their predicaments. I wanted to see things resolved and happy. I have to tell you it's a long way to get there. It took me forever to listen to this book, and I had to be convinced by a friend to restart it after bogging down mid way. One of the things I always liked about Gamache was his presence, how he was always calm and courteous but strong. In this book, we get weepy, cranky, beaten down, all sorts of Gamaches that just made the book less enjoyable than the old ones. I suppose I shouldn't complain about Jean Guy being so frustrating and tedious since that is probably an accurate portrayal of life with an addict, but still it isn't fun to read. I did find the mystery surrounding the murder Gamache is investigating to be somewhat interesting though it does peter out at the end. Unlike previous books the investigation of the murder isn't the main point and we don't really see it wrap up. I did guess some of the things that were going to happen, and I usually don't. I suppose I am glad that I forced myself through to the end to see happier times for all our beloved characters. You'll probably be happy you did too, but it really is a long way to get there.
I love audio and ebooks but only give them a 5 if they hold my attention. An avereage story gets a 3 . Thrillers & Crime are my favorites.
"Absolutely loved it!"
I have read this whole series and have come to enjoy all the characters. I feel like they are old friends. I do think listening in order is very helpful as this one resolved a number of issues/plot lines that have been developed since the beginning.
I found it highly engrossing as the story progressed. There were really two main themes this time; one was the murder of a woman who was a friend of the residents of Three Pines and the other focused corruption in the police department.
I don't want to write a spoiler, but I loved how it ended. Kudos to Chief Inspector Gamache!
I really hope this was not the last one in the series. Its way too much fun to listen to.
"A dissenting view"
I am new to this series, so I read this book as a novel in its own right with no previous knowledge of the rest of the series. It was a mistake. From the reviews, I had the impression that each of the books could stand on its own, that the characters are truly amazing and unique, and that the plots are witty and intelligent. Although I saw a glimmer of these qualities, I have to say that it was unwise to read this novel on its own. Half the time I could not sort out who all the various characters were and had to consult online book reviews to get them all straight. The book frequently referenced past events which I was obviously not privy to, and so there were many times when I felt that I was fundamentally missing something. And although these factors definitely hampered my listening experience, they are not responsible for my 3 star rating because it was my own fault for listening to Book 9 in the series first. Mea culpa.
The publisher's description of this book is misleading. The major plot concerns a police conspiracy, and the story of the murdered woman is a subplot. The police conspiracy bit was dull, predictable, and and at odds with the subplot in nature and tone - they did not go well together.
The subplot about the murdered woman was engaging, unique, fun, witty, and inspired. I kept listening partly because I so much wanted to know how that storyline would unfold. Had more space been devoted to that story, I think the rest of the book would have been so much more enjoyable.
I had read in the reviews that the supporting cast of characters were unique and fun - and indeed they seemed to be. The problem (from my perspective at least) was that they barely featured in either of the story lines. I did not get a good sense of them, except to glimpse their potential.
Despite my criticisms, I did enjoy aspects of the book. I grew up near the Quebec/Vermont border and the geography and warmth of the story pulled me in and made me sick for home. Ralph Coshom's voice - while clearly aging and halting - reminded me of hearing stories from my grandfather. In spite of my disappointments, this book really touched my sentimental side.
I have just begun listening to the first book in the series, Still Life, as I should have done from the start. Perhaps by the time I work my way up to How the Light Gets In and get more information and a better sense of the characters, my 3 star rating will improve to 4.

The Filibuster
Okay, which race do you think is the most exciting? The NL West or the open senatorial seat in Delaware?
Burr Ridge, IL
Exciting isn't the word I'd use here, Mitch. The fact that the NL West is still so wide open merely reflects the drama inherent in baseball. And of course the Rockies are right in the middle of it. Do you remember their run to the World Series back in 2007? That one game playoff with the Padres? The NL West is all drama and it often involves the Rockies.
The Delaware race, on the other hand, is just frightening. How is it possible that a person like Christine O'Donnell finds herself in this position? Here's the thing. When even a conservative stalwart like William Kristol thinks that you don't belong, that doesn't bode well for your bona fides.
Let's look at the facts. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. She thinks masturbation is adultery. This is bad news for the 99% of men who partake in a little self love as well as the remaining 1% who simply lie about it. She dabbled in witchcraft. Witchcraft!
And as if that wasn't enough, she only received her college degree this summer at the age of 40. This isn't the story of woman who went back to get her diploma, though. No, the reason why she just got it now? She never got around to paying off her college tuition. This seems more than a little ironic from a Tea Party candidate who claims the mantle of "fiscal responsibility."
The biggest difference between the NL West and Delaware, though, is that the baseball race is being fought by professionals but the political contest is straight up amateur hour. Why else would O'Donnell agree to go on a couple Sunday morning news shows and then pull out at the last minute? Look, I get it. She doesn't want to pull a Palin and accidentally mention how she never reads a newspaper or that she can see Bermuda from her doorstep. But you're running for the Senate! This is not a game. The laws passed in the Senate affect our lives for years.
So Mitch, I'll be watching both races. And my money is on the heart-attack kids from Colorado. I just hope that any bets on the Delaware race are based on whether O'Donnell loses by more or less than twenty points.
Something on your mind? Want to see Jeff and Al sweat (separately, not together, eww)? Think you got a real stumper? Send us your Filibuster question(s) by commenting or emailing them to us at email@example.com.
***Pics of Jeff's secret make-out sessions with his Troy Tulowitzki bobble-head also welcome.

I've been enjoying the clips of O'Donnell from Bill Maher's old show "Politically Incorrect." They're priceless….and scary.
At least it's an actual college and not a mail-away diploma or Liberty University. That's something.
If she wins, I am seriously moving. Or maybe I should just start and anti-O'Donnell campaign. This woman is the antithesis of common sense and rationality. There…that will be my slogan ;o)
And the Dodgers were there helping make this into a three way race. At least they salvaged one game. Glad I went to the Ball Four turns forty event on Satuday instead of watching them give up a dozen runs. BTW, the event was GRRREAT!
Christine O'Donnell was the subject that Peter Tilden of KABC was talking about in the 6 o' clock hour. You had to call back in the 7 o'clock hour and tell him what the subject was about to win Dodger tickets.

I am REALLY starting to get worried about the condensed season.
Our big 3 each played 38+ minutes tonight and that's a cause for concern with a lot of guys already going down as it is. Not to mention that we have players who have injury history, so we need to be careful. The fact that Jerome Jordan didn't get a single minute of playing time today shocks me. We're going to have to find a way to play defense without Tyson Chandler if we want a full roster for the playoffs.
But they barely got any playing time today. Bibby only played 6 minutes despite having a great game on Saturday. I don't think D'Antoni understands how tough it'll be for these guys to hold up in February and March. If Tyson Chandler's knee fizzes out we're screwed.
We need to take a chance on Jerome Jordan. We simply don't have any other choice.
But they gotta find a way to get the bench involved, 3 points is disgusting. Maybe Melo + second unit and the offense goes through him for drive & dish, pick & rolls, etc.
Yeah seriously.
Why doesn't the bench work on set plays?
I mean, think about it like this. Get Bibby and Jorts to practice the pick and roll together for a month. Eventually, if taht's all they do, they'll get it. And once they get it really well, they'll be able to use it effectively.
The 2nd unit did **** last night and we need to rely on them. But we can't just throw games away, you're definitely right about that.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Looking at the above box scores, it seems surprising how the Knicks won.
It's also not that we rebounded more and therefore had more shots on basket.
The only place we shot more was on the free throw line.
My thoughts on this is that Charlotte played defense and therefor gave us tough shots so we missed a higher percentage but went to the free throw line more.
The Knicks on the other hand didn't play defense and allowed Charlotte a lot of free looks giving them a high % scoring. On the other hand, we didn't foul them.
If you look at the numbers though, the foul shots clearly won us the game.
And on a side note, just looking at Melo's and Stat's % over the last 9 games, it's shocking that they are "superstars". Their scoring %'s are ridiculously low.
If we let Bibby shoot any shot he wanted he too would put up 30% scoring percentages and score 30 a night.
Another win was is great but yet antoher pathetic coaching display.
Why doesn`t the coach bring Bibby in for Shump and Douglas in for Fileds. Bibby is a point guard, okay, maybe he doesn`t have much left in the tank but he is a point guard so why not replace our starting point guard with a backup PG instead of with a player like Toney who is not a PG? This baffles me. It`s another ocassion where the idiot of a coach makes the game more complicated when it needs to be. Toney Douglas would be much better coming off the bench for Fields and playing the 2. But the idiot coach puts him in at PG and Bibby, a PG comes in for Fileds at the two. Make sense of that. I just don`t understand this obsession he has with trying to make square pegs fit into round holes. Just replace a PG with a PG and put Toney on as the two guard. Simple. Why does he insist with going to Bill Walker so much? Walker, in my ever so humble opinion, has nothing to offer.
why did Bibby get so few minutes last night after playing so well in the previous game? It was Bibby who opened the lead for the Knicks against the Pistons and the Knicks were never in danger after that. So, what does the coach do, give him a tiny number of minutes in the next game. This has been a D`Antoni tactic for years and it is pathetic.
Yet again our starters get heavy minutes, far too many in this truncated season. Okay, many will argue that our bench is dreadful and only got three points, and I agree. But, what do you expect from bench players who get hardly any minutes. You can`t expect players to sit "cold" on the bench and then expect them to come off the bench "game ready" and scoring. No Balkman, no Jordan. At this rate our starters will either be burned out by mid-season or injured. This is the bench that we have, for better or for worse, so we have to use it. It looked like he was trying to return to his horrible short rotation last night. That hurts the team in a normal season let alone one of this short length.
I`m so sick of this phoney coach and his terrible decision making. His lack of plays, his "chuck it and see" philosophy. His terrible substitution patterns and his heavy minutes for our starters. I think that come what may D`Antoni will be with us for this whole season but I am praying that whatever happens this season he will not be the head coach, towel holder or even toilet cleaner for the New York Knicks at the beginning of next season.
We are talking about a 2-7 record oponent that was having problems with
adjusting to rookie Jorts in the paint. Jerome Jordan were suppose to receive
14 to 18 minutes of playingtime in lineups with Stat or Melo with Shump & Fields
in the backcourt.
The Stat & Melo lineups dont play any foward-DEFENSE!!!!!!
I am sick of it....Diaw knew Dantoni & Stat has no concept of defense.
The NBA league knows Melo have to be in a lineup with majority defensive-
switch teammates to be successful for a win.
Damnphony has to be FIRED ASAP!!!!!!
The Hornets beat the (so-call) NY Nuggets last night....
And the Iso-Knicks got revenge by beating the Charllotte Hornets last night.
Both Hornets teams (Bobcats) were design to be the top 2011-12 LOTTERY teams.
Our Celebrity coach Damnphony knows little to nothing about the talents/skills
of the players on the Knicks roster.
PG-Bibby & PG-TD both need post-up centers or PF on the foul line for a
screen/pick to go around in a halfcourt setting (just like Duncan, KG, Dirk,
Bosh, and Gasol do for their PG), going around the high screen gives our PG
three-options....open lane, pass to a cutter, or pass to the bigman screener
being defended by a PG at the foul line (all NBA teams dont switch on defense).
We need Shump "ENERGY" off the bench for 30+ minutes to get other bench-
players & starters involved in the game as our combo-guard (Terry & Harden).
There is NO-Reason why Melo/Stat/Tyson can not work with PG-TD/or Bibby/
or Davis on a few "design-plays" to start the game off with "pick n roles" or
"post-ups" or running behind a double-screen for a jumper....its call teammates
moving without the ball in the first-quarter to get touches.
With Melo on the Knicks....Stat have to change his game to passing-more
plus learn how to post-up down low with his back to the basket like the new
Zach Randolph having 3-options posting up down low....shoot, or pass to a
moving Gay, or pass to Gasol backboard shot.
When he loses his quickness, he's done. At least if he had a post game he'd have more options.
Real Talk
Kiyaman's post are classical.
The Knicks really got their revenge last night at the Garden. After being embarrassed by the Bobcats last Wednesday (118-110) and being booed at home from the less than pleased crowd, the Knicks really showed up to play last night!
It helped that the Bobcats didn't shoot lights out (55% from the field) like last game, and instead 42%. But Diaw continued to play well against the Knicks with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists.
We had to rely on our defense, and they came up with a lot of crucial stops towards the end of the game!!
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
our bench gave us 3 points last night...
now if that happens tm we are completely FCUKED the sixers have a good bench and without our bench giving us what we need then they'll come out with the win douglas better get his **** together... lets get that w tomorow!
I've said it a couple of times but I think Chandler and Stat should go to Hakeem Olajuwon school. They'd really benefit from it.
Chandler's idea of a post move is to back the player down all the way to the basket with no particular goal in mind and stat just drives.

Herpes viral culture of a lesion is a laboratory test to check if a skin sore is infected with the herpes simplex virus.
Culture - herpes simplex virus; Herpes simplex virus culture
The health care provider collects the sample from a skin sore (lesion). The sample is sent to a lab. There, it is placed in a special dish (culture). It is then watched to see if the herpes simplex virus or substances related to the virus grow. Special tests may also be done to determine whether it is herpes simplex virus type 1 or 2.
The sample must be collected during the acute phase of infection. This is the worst part of an outbreak. It is also when the skin lesions are at their worst.
When the sample is collected, you may feel an uncomfortable scraping or sticky sensation. Sometimes a sample from the throat or eyes is needed. This involves rubbing a sterile swab against the eye or in the throat.
The test is done to confirm herpes simplex infection. The herpes virus causes genital herpes. Or it can cause cold sores of the mouth and lips.
The diagnosis is often made by physical examination (the health care provider looking at the sores). The cultures and other tests are used to confirm the diagnosis.
This test is most likely accurate when a person is newly infected, that is, during the first outbreak.
A normal (negative) result means that the herpes simplex virus did not grow in the laboratory dish and the skin sample used in the test did not contain any herpes virus.
Be aware that a normal (negative) culture does not always mean that you do not have a herpes infection or have not had one in the past.
An abnormal (positive) result may mean that you have an active infection with herpes simplex virus. Herpes infections include herpes genitalis, which is genital herpes, or cold sores on the lips or in the mouth.
If the culture is positive for herpes, you may have recently become infected. Or you may have become infected in the past and are currently having an outbreak.
Risks include slight bleeding or infection in the area where the skin sample was removed.

Marshallia Ranch Golf Course
Vandenberg AFB, California
July 12-14, 2004
Smith takes the lead at 1-over in the Girls Division
VANDENBERG AFB, Calif.âCool temperatures, difficult holes and tight fairways were some of the challenges that Tim Cha faced and conquered by shooting a 3-under-par 69, placing him in the lead for the first round of the AJGA Marshallia Ranch Junior. Nicole Smith rose out of the pack in the Girls Division with a first round score of 1-over-par 73.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the AJGA Marshallia Ranch Junior features 84 players from ten states and Canada, including 73 California natives. The fifth annual Marshallia Ranch Junior is a 54-hole, stroke play tournament that is being held at Marshallia Ranch Golf Course for the third consecutive year.
Cha, 17, of Chino Hills, Calif., said he had a good feeling after the first round because of the three consecutive birdies he made on Nos. 10, 11 and 12, which were the highlights of his day. The six total birdies he carded gave him an advantage throughout the round to keep his score down.
âMy best shot was on No. 6,â he said. âI made a 50-footer uphill which really got me going for the day.â
Cha hopes to continue his low scoring in the second round.
âIâm going to try to focus on each shot and take it one at a time,â he said. âI donât want to choke in the second round and shoot in the 80s like I did at my last tournament. Iâm going to do what I can to play my best.â
Behind Cha with a 2-under-par 70 is Roberto Galletti, Jr. of Vallejo, Calif., and behind him with 1-under-par 71s are Sean McNamara of Monte Sereno, Calif., and Doug Fortner of Tustin, Calif. At even-par are Garrett Sapp of Cerritos, Calif., Ray Suhandynata of Petaluma, Calif., Larry Wong of Diamond Bar, Calif., Michael Miller of Fresno, Calif., and Lee Harris of Fort Morgan, Calif.
Smith, 17, of Riverside, Calif., said she shot a decent score for the first round.
âI didnât strike the ball as well as I wanted,â she said. âHitting 14 greens helped a lot though and I had a pretty good mix of birdies and bogies. I plan on being more aggressive in tomorrowâs round.â
Smith said her best shot of the day was on No. 3 when she almost holed out. After a three-putt for bogie, it couldnât have happened at a better time.
Following Smith are Allison Goodman of San Diego, at 2-over-par 74, and Xyra Suyetsugu of Honolulu, Hawaii, Emily Cannon of Belvedere, Calif., Charlene Kamimura of West Covina, Calif., and Allison Ek of Cypress, Calif., who shot 3-over-par 75s.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The largest association of its kind, the AJGA has a junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Second-round tee times will run from 6:30 - 8:27 a.m., Wednesday at Marshallia Ranch Golf Course.
Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch U.S.A., a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became an AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. More than 160 former AJGA juniors currently play on the PGA and LPGA Tours and have compiled more than 300 wins. AJGA alumni include Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Mike Weir, Charles Howell III, Jim Furyk, Vicki Goetze-Ackerman, Grace Park, Cristie Kerr and Beth Bauer.
For more information on the AJGA Marshallia Ranch Junior, contact tournament headquarters at (805) 734-1333.

KARL is an open source, web-based product for collaboration, organizational intranets and knowledge management. Developed by the Open Society Foundations (OSF), it was first introduced to the market in 2008, and is used by many international organizations, such as Oxfam GB, United Nations, Eurasia, TrustAfrica, and OSF.
Six Feet Up has been actively working on enhancing KARL's featureset and providing KARL customization services for our clients.
KARL was developed based on the following vision:
- A simple set of well-integrated tools
- Accessibility and usability for everyone in a distributed organization
- Capability to collaborate securely with individuals who are external to an organization
- Enterprise-level quality through a solid architectural vision, stringent testing, agile planning, and a strong focus on performance
In use since 2006, KARL now boasts an impressive list of features, as detailed below. In addition, Six Feet Up is actively working on a series of KARL enhancements spurred by customers' requests.
Matrix-Based Structure
KARL offers a unique way to organize content via a matrix composed of horizontal "online office spaces" and vertical topic-based "communities".
Unlimited Communities
In KARL, the key players for a project, topic or physical location are organized into a virtual organization, or "community", which provide a central location to post and retrieve information.
KARL communities are similar to social network communities with tools for blogging, wiki, shared calendar and file management. One of the greatest benefits of KARL communities is that moderators can invite individuals from outside of the organization to join. KARL communities can include partners, vendors, subject matter experts and anyone with whom there is collaboration on a project.
There is no limit to the number of communities an organization can create. Someone may be a member of as many communities as needed. For example, a user may be a member of a community that includes all employees, and be a member of a community dedicated to a project they are involved in. Moderators determine who is assigned to which communities.
Within a community, users can view the list of participating members. Members can upload their own pictures, edit their profiles and see the communities and community content to which they have access.
Online Office Spaces
In addition to communities, KARL introduces the concept of "offices", which allows users to share and view information related to a specific office. For example, an organization may have physical locations at multiple sites, like New York City, London and Johannesburg. Each of these sites can have their own KARL online office space (sometimes used as a collaborative intranet).
The KARL office landing page typically consists of office-specific navigation links in the left column, office-specific content in the right column, and organization-wide content in the center. This setup allows for organization-wide communication, as well as customized communication inside each office.
These online office spaces can have their own intranet-like landing page views, and provide a dedicated space for files, forums (a feature specific to office spaces), and events. They can also display content from corporate or other locations via RSS feeds.
Fully Integrated Blog
Each KARL community has access to a shared blog, which serves as a place for users to post updates, new ideas and other collaborative information. A checkbox allows blog authors to automatically email the content of the post to the community members, and logged-in users can add comments under each blog post. KARL members also have the ability to post blog content via email.
Blogs are fully integrated in the KARL software and don't require a custom access or editing interface. Blog posts are indexed in a manner consistent with the other components of KARL so that locating information is quick and easy.
Layered Group Calendar
Each KARL community has its own shared calendar so that its users can easily manage events pertaining to that specific community. The KARL calendar has convenient daily, weekly, monthly and list views.
Furthermore, each KARL community supports the organization of events in categories. Moderators have the option to select which categories to display in a layered view, including categories of events that belong to other communities. The KARL layered group calendar was designed to be very simple to use and proves to be extremely powerful when managing events across offices and/or distributed teams.
Rich Text Wiki
Wikis have become a popular tool for collaborative work across user groups as they allow for fast sharing and editing of knowledge across a community.
In KARL, each community is given its own wiki where members can quickly and easily add and edit pages by using the rich text editor central to KARL. Wiki pages support images, embedded objects such as Google gadgets, and links to community files. A checkbox allows wiki authors to automatically email the content of the wiki page to the community members.
Secure File Sharing
For organizations whose processes rely on a large number of documents, KARL provides the capability to securely share and store documents, pictures, and various media in a repository inside each community.
Files can be tagged with custom keywords and organized in an unlimited hierarchy of folders for ease of browsing. Because KARL supports full text indexing, all files are easily searchable and quickly retrieved.
The KARL file storage feature is critical for organizations where members are not in the same physical location as it provides for an efficient way of sharing documents as well as an effective backup system.
System-wide Tagging
KARL incorporates tagging at every level of the application. Community members can tag content, files, blog posts, wiki pages with their own custom keywords and allow others to browse by those keywords.
At the community level, a tag listing provides members with a quick and granular access to tagged content inside a specific group. At a global level, KARL provides a global tag cloud for a quick access to content tagged across all communities. At any level, clicking a tag automatically assembles and presents a list of content tagged with the specific keyword as well as a list of "related tags" providing suggestions for possibly related content.
Members often report that the KARL tagging features enhance collaboration by allowing them to "discover" other subject matter experts and affordably "surface" key documents in other communities.
Granular Access Control
Out of the box, KARL provides precise control over permissions for each KARL user, whether that person is an employee or member of an organization ("staff") or an outside partner ("affiliate").
Staff members have access to all public communities, and to any private communities to which they have been invited. They see all of the profiles under the 'People" tab and have access to the office spaces.
Affiliates can only see communities (public or private) that they have been invited to join. They will not see office pages dedicated to content pertaining to specific office locations.
Strong Email Integration
Each organization has its own culture regarding email. Some organizations try to limit the use of email, while others rely on it heavily. KARL is one of the few systems out there that allows its users to tailor their email usage to their organization's expectations. Each time someone adds an item to any component, that user is given the option to send an email notification to the community by simply clicking a checkbox.
POWERFUL Search
In KARL, searching is fast, simple and relevant. When users look up a term, all KARL content, including files, is queried as the application supports full text indexing out of the box. KARL automatically presents search results in the form of a "live search", or a drop-down menu listing top relevant results organized by categories, such as people, posts or files.
Users can search across the entire application, or just query a specific community. For security reasons, KARL will only present results a user has permission to see. If a user is in one of his/her communities and initiates a search, the search will return results from every component of every community s/he is a part of, but none of which s/he is not.
Content Feeds
The Feeds feature provides a real-time list of updates on KARL that refreshes automatically every 30 seconds.
As members add new content or edit existing content, the feeds provide a running view of the changes being made across an entire KARL instance.
Security is built in the feeds, as with all components in KARL, so that members only see content they have permission to access in their view of the feeds.
KARL was created to provide well-integrated tools for complex organizations and projects. KARL allows collaboration across an organization and across the globe while maintaining security through user authentication and easy-to-manage permissions for KARL communities.
KARL was produced by the Open Society Foundations who has made the code open source for use by the larger open source community. Six Feet Up provides hosting services and support for the Open Society Foundations, as well as others distributed organizations.

La Danse Magnifique!
Frederick Wiseman's documentary illuminates Paris ballet
By Jana J. Monji 11/19/2009
Frederick Wiseman's fascinating and beautifully realized new documentary, "La Danse: Le Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris," begins quietly but slowly builds to give us an understanding of an institution and an art process.
The first words you hear are a mix of English and French. There are no explanations except by choreographers and instructors explaining to dancers what they want. Wiseman isn't interested in explanations or history as much as he is in the ballet troupe as a growing, surviving entity, making this a delight for balletomanes, dancers and creative artists. There are subtitles, but no passing titles to announce where we are or who we are with. As individuals, they aren't as important as the institution in which they work. For that matter, words are less important than movement.
When the movie opens, we see Paris in early morning shot from above, then at street level. We travel lower, to the labyrinths beneath the building known as the Palais Garnier or the Opéra de Paris. Going down empty hallways and corridors, we see coils of ropes, a stairway where we hear music and voices, then see two young men rehearsing and, finally, a scene of the full class.
Wiseman, a former lawyer, is known for his interest in American institutional life. His last documentary was 2007's "State Legislature," which Nathan Lee of the Village Voice called "pretty darn wonky." Happily, "La Danse" should find a larger audience.
Wiseman's first documentary about a cultural institution was 1994's "Ballet," which followed the American Ballet Theatre from studio rehearsal in New York to a spring tour of Athens and Copenhagen. It was his 27th documentary and it featured Agnes DeMille, Alessandra Ferri, Susan Jaffe and Julio Bocca.
In "La Danse," Wiseman returns to ballet with a respect tinged with reverence. The language barrier is less daunting here than in other foreign films, but appropriate for the context. Not all of the dancers understand French (beyond the ballet terms) or English, yet they must communicate. When British-born dancer and choreographer Wayne McGregor directs his ballet, "Genus," he uses percussive sound, English and gestures to help the dancers comprehend what he wants. By the final stages of the ballet, his sound vocabulary could be a song in its own right.
Here, McGregor, the resident choreographer for Great Britain's Royal Ballet, is working on a 24-dancer ballet inspired by Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of the Species." If you saw 2004's "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," in which he was the movement director, you've seen his work.
We also see Delphine Moussin developing her role of Medea as both dancer and actor — from movement to characterization. She is given things to build on and told to find the subtle line that barely separates a caress from a blow, for she knows her lover, Jason, has betrayed her.
The documentary follows the company through all aspects of developing performances of seven ballets: "Paquita" by Pierre Lacotte; "The Nutcracker" by Rudolf Nureyev; "Genus" by Wayne McGregor; "Medea" by Angelin Preljocaj; "The House of Bernarda Alba" by Mats Ek; "Romeo and Juliet" by Sasha Waltz; and "Orpheus and Eurydyce" by Pina Bausch. Scenes cover fundraising, costume design, classes, rehearsals and the performances.
Cinematographer John Davey is respectful and elegant. The meandering down below to the underground lake, labyrinth and cellars could be boring, but he makes them beautiful. If you're wondering why those shots should be there, the Palais Garnier is best known today through 1909's gothic novel by Gaston Leroux, "The Phantom of the Opera," made into a musical of the same name by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Wisely, Wiseman doesn't meander into romantic fantasy or even the troupe's illustrious history. He focuses on the process of creation, communication and understanding, the workings of an institution and the struggles of individual artists, from top to bottom, to develop performances that do justice to the long (since 1661) tradition of the Paris Opera Ballet.
In "La Danse," opening Friday at the Laemmle Playhouse 7 (French and English with English subtitles), pictures and movement are more important than words. This illuminating portrait is all about the process and the beauty created.

August 14, 2013 —
On Wednesday August 14, 2013 the Village of Liberty Police Department arrested Kevin Brideson, 48 of Liberty, after responding to an incident on North Main Street.
Around 7:35 a.m. the Village of Liberty Police Department received a report of a suspicious male walking down North Main Street with a large metal pipe in his hand, swinging the pipe, banging it on the ground and acting in a threatening manner.
Liberty Police Officers Robert Morse and James Simon responded and found Brideson standing in the middle of the road with a 30 inch long steel pipe. At that time Brideson became confrontational with the officers and threatened them with the pipe. A struggle ensued resulting in Officer Morse sustaining injuries to his leg.
Officer Morse was transported to Catskill Regional Medical Center by ambulance and was treated for injuries sustained to his leg. Brideson was also transported to Catskill Regional Medical Center where he was treated and released for injuries sustained during the incident.
Brideson was charged with two counts of assault in the 2nd degree, attempted assault in the 1st degree, attempted aggravated assault upon a police officer or peace officer, all felonies, criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration in the 2nd degree, 2 counts of menacing in the 2nd degree, misdemeanors and disorderly conduct a violation.
Brideson was arraigned in the Town of Liberty Court and was remanded to Sullivan County Jail without bail. He is due back in the Town of Liberty Court on August 20, 2013. Village of Liberty Police were assisted by the New York State Police, The Sullivan County Sheriff's Department and the Town of Fallsburg Police Department.

Cheats and Walkthroughs(72)
You might notice there's someone different sitting in the hosting chair this week on Feedback. Adam Sessler's wandering the world in a fever dream (he mentioned something about a Yeti), so I was asked to step in and take control of Feedback. I apologize in advance, but I managed to convince Andrew Pfister, Matt Keil and Abbie Heppe to join me in the Feedback studio, too. They made my job easier.
On this week's episode of Feedback...
- All four of us attended PAX East in Boston over the weekend and even though it was an exhausting, cross-country experience, we had a fantastic time meeting with G4's great fans.
- In addition to exploring bars near PAX East, we had a chance to look at and play a bunch of games at the event, too. Matt and Abbie go in-depth on the promising online shooter Breach.
- Sony announced it decided to pass on the Project Natal technology for PlayStation Move and Bungie revealed their ambitious Player Investment system for the upcoming Halo: Reach.
- Abbie's family shows up. Seriously.
- A reader asks us to ponder what tends to drive Adam absolutely insane: 3D gaming.
Feedback, a podcast that gets way too excited about the prospect of going to the Cheers bar.

Milwaukee developer talks Moderne, baseball
Five years ago, Milwaukee developer Rick Barrett proposed a high-rise for downtown's west side - an area devoid of large construction projects over the past several years.
Dubbed the Moderne, Barrett initially proposed a 120-room hotel, 80 condos and street-level retail space. But when the downtown condo boom went bust, and financing dried up for new hotels, he reconfigured the 30-story project into 203 apartments and 14 condos. With the help of a $41.4 million private loan and $9.3 million in city loans, construction began in January 2011 and is nearly complete. »Read Full Article
Wisconsin seeing boost in bank consolidation
Coming out of a tough economic period amid uncertain growth prospects and new regulations, Wisconsin's banking industry is seeing a boost in consolidation for the first time in years.
Six Wisconsin mergers involving banks have been completed or proposed so far in 2012, and three other banks have voluntarily liquidated and sold their assets to financial institutions, regulatory data shows. That compares with an average of about three merger and acquisition announcements in each of the previous three years. »Read Full Article

The nonprofit health systems in the Milwaukee area are quick to state their support for access to care and to note the costs they incur from people who don't have health insurance.
But that doesn't mean they are urging Gov. Scott Walker to expand the Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act, even with the federal government paying 100% of the cost through 2016, before declining to 90% in 2019. »Read Full Article(12)

College basketball: MC plays John Carroll Saturday
After defeating Mount Union in a 97-90 shootout Wednesday, the Marietta College men's basketball team has its sights set on John Carroll.
Marietta (10-4, 6-1) will be hosting the Blue Streaks (6-7, 3-4) this Saturday at Ban Johnson Arena.
With the Pioneers and the Blue Streaks each being near the top of the OAC the past few years, the two teams have developed a competitive rivalry.
After beating JC three times two seasons ago, Marietta dropped both contests to the Blue Streaks a year ago.
"When we started building our program, the premier team in the league was John Carroll," said MC head coach Jon VanderWal. "We felt like we were trying to catch them and Capital. Our guys don't look at John Carroll's record, they look at it as a big rivalry. It's going to be a good college basketball game."
John Carroll and Marietta are No. 1 and 2 in the league in scoring, respectively. The Blue Streaks have averaged 82 points per game compared to 79.1 for the Pios. The difference between the two teams has been on the defensive side, as Marietta is giving just 69.3 (3rd in OAC) points per game while John Carroll is allowing 80.1 (9th).
VanderWal said it is important for Marietta not play into John Carroll's type of basketball.
"They're going to press the whole game. They're an up-tempo team," VanderWal said. "If we play their style of basketball, we're going to be in trouble.
"It's a fine line, because we're an up-tempo team as well. We play two different styles of up-tempo, though. We just have to get quality shots and take care of the basketball so they don't fastbreaks. Our shot selection has to be good."
Marietta is led by senior J.J. Martin, who is coming off a 33 point game against Mount Union. Martin is averaging team-highs with 16.5 points per game and 5.4 rebounds per game. Sophomore Brennan McKean and junior Tyler Hammond are averaging 8.9 and 8.4 points per game, respectively. Senior Tyler Worstell leads the team with 37 assists on the season.
John Carroll is led by Kyle Hubbard's 16.6 points per game. Danny Wallack has also contributed well with 9.9 points per game. Kenny Janz is the team's top rebounder with 6.2 a game.
A win would be huge in the standings for Marietta, who is currently a game behind Capital for first place in the OAC. It would also help build momentum for the rest of the season.
"This is a big time game that we really need to get," VanderWal said. "It would be nice to be coming off a win going to Capital next (Wednesday)."
Marietta is expected to start Martin and senior Jason Humphrey in the post, Hammond at point guard and senior Scott Kimmey at wing. The other wing position will be determined based on matchups. Tip-off is slated for 3 p.m.
The Lady Pioneers are coming off a tough loss to No. 20 Mount Union Wednesday and will look to rebound on the road against John Carroll Saturday.
Marietta has a 6-8 overall record but has struggled in conference play at 1-6. John Carroll hasn't fared much better at 2-5 in the OAC. A win for either team would put them back into the thick of things.
Marietta is scoring 58.3 points per game while allowing 63.8. On the flip side, John Carroll is getting 65.9 per game offensively and allowing 65.3.
Marietta is led by sophomore Heather Booth's 10.4 points per contest. Fellow sophomore Candice Alexander is close behind with 9.9. Alexander is also tops in rebounding on the team with 6.4 a game. John Carroll's leading scorer is Melissa Spahar with 14.4 points per game.
Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m.
