Video: O'Reilly browbeats Mary Katharine Ham about the perils of Internet video

In which a visibly uncomfortable MK tries to keep her good cheer in the face of an increasingly serious and accusatory O'R. Bill's basic point about the erosion of privacy is sound; inflating that into an omnibus condemnation is not, and implicating MK in it is simply … odd. Why have her on as your "Internet cop" if you think she's aiding and abetting a medium that's destroying the culture? A weird segment.
Also tonight: Drugs are bad, and glorifying drugs is also bad.

The Left is already willing to tag 2018 as "the impeachment election"
Ah yes. The "Culture Warrior" who makes phone sex calls to his secretary while using a vibrator on himself.

Conflating invasions of privacy that are irrelevant to the law (eg, celebrity embarassment) with the ability to monitor police officers who break the rules (or, conversely, protect them from unfair accusations) is incredibly stupid. And any poltiician who looks cross-eyed? Yeah, great example, Bill. Totally outweighs the net's ability to catch contradictory or unintentionally candid statements.
Alex K on November 28, 2007 at 9:58 PM
Bill, sometimes you really don't speak for me. Sounds like he's a little worried about getting caught doing something wrong. And it's a little scary to think he would like the Police to be able to abuse someone in private.
MKH, I'm still your friend…(I wish!:)
KMC1 on November 28, 2007 at 10:06 PM
A little unconfortable, but not squirming.
Most of the points Bill made are pretty accurate. "Don't Tase Me Bro" was out of line. The guy should have followed the police officer's directions. The bimbo jumping out of the car and freaking out is lucky the officer didn't go after her. Was the officer out of line? I think a little. Was the driver an ass? Totally. Police officers face a lot of danger, if the suspect doesn't do exactly what he is told, what is an officer to think? How many officers are killed because they were too lenient?
Mary has a good point, the new cool becomes old news fast. Everything has a saturation point and becomes past tense. The problem is that everyone has the ability to become Big Brother. Basically courts have said if you do something in public (including something visible from your home) it is fair game. Many people are happy to make a quick buck, or get their 15 minutes of fame at someone else's expense.
A lot of things get taken out of context and distilled to it's most base form. What you usually see on YouToube is a very small portion of whatever incident happened, and you don't know what led up to the event.
I also agree with Bill about VH1, they probably leaked the drug use scenes as teasers for their series. Free promotion is the best promotion. But it is ludicrous when, even though VH1 says it is about rehab, the scenes get used to glorify drug use.
Rode Werk on November 28, 2007 at 10:11 PM
That seemed like a conversation by two people who just didn't wanna talk to each other.
Bill seems cranky. But I wish we had more privacy.

Bill has gone off the deep end. "You see how much more difficult policing is now, because everyone's got the little camera […]" How much of a jack-booted authoritarian thug do you have to be to see citizen scruitiny of the government as a bad thing?! That doesn't mean that we nickle and dime our LEOs and disrespect them, but it does mean that cops can't treat every interaction with a civilian as if it happened in a dark alley with no witnesses. And that is absolutely a good thing. Police aren't private citizens — they're public servants. They should expect a bright light to be shone on them. Much is expected of people to whom much authority is given.
And seriously, Bill needs to lay off the Internet. It's not all pedophiles and snuff films out here.
Mark Jaquith on November 28, 2007 at 10:28 PM
"Children: That's what watching VH1." There are so many ways in which that sentence is wrong.
She could've handled it better. It's not always easy when you are unexpectedly being attacked from someone you considered friendly. I am sure she will learn from it and not be caught off guard next time! O'Reilly was just being cheap. Tabloid cheap! It's called freedom! The internet is just an extension of t he rest of the world, for crying out loud! What is he actually saying here?? Is he saying that the internet has no place in exposing abuse??? Or is that only reserved for TV and print?? Oh,, I get it,, he is concerned because some people put trash on the internet??!! Like that never happens on TV or in print??!! Trash never ever makes its way to TV news/talk shows!! Kids never ever tune into something trashy on TV or pick up any trashy magazines!! Horrors of horrors! I guess we gotta stop making people cry so much and I guess mom and dad need to actually act like parents and set boundaries with their kids!! No, O'Reilly,, it isn't good when someone is unfairly maligned or unfairly accused or if something is taken out of context on the internet,, just as it is not fair when it happens on TV or in print! THAT IS WHY FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS SO IMPORTANT AND WHY THE INTERNET MUST REMAIN FREE OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION! O'Reilly never thought of that, though!
JellyToast on November 28, 2007 at 10:30 PM
I didn't catch this show tonight, but I've been trying to separate myself from O'Reilly since the segment a few nights ago when he lambasted the USO for not getting enough (in his eyes, anyway) celebrities to go to a war zone.
My husband has been very satisfied. He and his soldiers know who the people are that are going there, and it is morale boosting.
Bill has gone off the deep end. "You see how much more difficult policing is now, because everyone's got the little camera
Not to mention the fact that it is a camera owned by the state, mounted on the dashboard of a police cruiser with the express intent of making law enforcement incidents and criminals accountable. The cameras are there to protect the police officers as much or more as they are there to protect citizens.
BillINDC on November 28, 2007 at 10:31 PM
When it comes to Bill O'Rielly and this "internet thing" there is no single person or entity that can be held accountable. This isn't the first time he's taken a hapless guest and expect him/her to talk about and defend everything that shows up on the internet. When Bill gets in this mode, you're expecting him to demand the whole internet be shut off immediately.
Kudos to MKH for being such a class act (once again).
highhopes on November 28, 2007 at 10:31 PM
"You see how much more difficult policing is now, because everyone's got the little camera
Oh yeah,, I almost forgot that comment,, the government seems to have a few of it's own cameras as well, don't they!! No problems there, though,, I guess!
JellyToast on November 28, 2007 at 10:35 PM
I know Hotair is supposed to be all pro-MKH and that O'Reilley is something prehistoric. Yet, despite being the RINOest frequent commenter on Hotair, I found myself oddly liking what Bill had to say here. I'm not even sure what the point is here, but it is unexpected and perhaps even interesting.
thuja on November 28, 2007 at 10:36 PM
Those little cameras help the innocent and help convict the guilty.
I found myself oddly liking what Bill had to say here.
Like I say, it's fair to think the camcorder nation has its excesses. To berate MK for it for thinking it has its good points too is dopey.
Allahpundit on November 28, 2007 at 10:39 PM
I don't understand how MKH can be a on-air commentator if she has such a problem speaking… She is a very good writer and I read her TownHall blog regularly… but she cannot speak a coherent sentence clearly… She stutters, slurs her point, and tries very hard but ends up voicing half a sentence… She just is no good on-air. I had hoped she would relax during these segments but instead she keeps getting worse… She should return to her keboard. She's a good writer but a terrible speaker…
IntheNet on November 28, 2007 at 10:45 PM
WOW Bill let MKH talk.

Sure, accountability of public officials/officers is good, but how about all the private citizens getting posted on the web. How 'bout getting plastered and saying something idiotic and everyone seeing it? The net magnifies a momentary error into a life-changing event.

There was a time I really looked forward to watching Mr. Bill. I've said it before and I'll say it again, O'Reilly is getting older, weirder and whiter. I can't stand when he becomes so dismissive (referring to the cop taser video, which I won't go into again here since it was the longest thread in HotAir history).
Yeah, I don't think you're alone among our readers anymore in thinking that. What readers we have left, I should say.
Referring to MKH, I do enjoy her work, so to speak, but MM rules! She would have had a more appropriate response to the all-knowing guy who is looking out for you…

Spirit of 1776 on November 28, 2007 at 10:47 PM
Yep. The other thing that I do not like about how some private citizens use the power of internet video is to frame issues using selective editing. It is bad enough when the mass media selectively edits video or selectively edits a story to only release certain facts about an issue to frame the public's opinion of the issue (a prime example being the reporting on the war effort in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Israel-Hezb'Allah war effort in Lebanon, etc). But now we also have private citizens taking video on their camera phones and such and then selectively editing it, putting it up on YouTube and framing an issue in a way they want it.
One example that I can think of is something that went "viral" on MySpace among some of the people I have on my friends list (basically, I have a network of people who support the military or are part of the military). This one gentleman posted a YouTube video from a soldier who claimed that he was unjustly beaten by law enforcement at the airport. The soldier and his family were trying to gain support for his court case. Initially, I think everyone (including me) was sympathetic simply because we reflexively take the side of the soldier and wanting them to be treated well. However, I watched the videos that he provided and I did not see it as clear cut as they were presenting it. From what I could tell, the soldier was actually going out of his way to cause trouble after being held up by security, which then caused him to miss his flight, since the security checks took so long. And then the key part of the case, where he was supposedly beaten unjustly, there was not a clear view of what happened on the provided video. In addition, the full story was not shown in the video. However, this did not stop people from completely sympathizing with the soldier, mostly simply because he was military, and completely condemning the airport law enforcement.
There was another former MySpace friend of mine who posted a video that was taken by some teens who were stopped by a cop for skateboarding in a part of the local downtown area where it was illegal. The video starts with the cop yelling at the kids and in the process of cuffing one kid and putting him to the ground and then running off to chase after a few of the other kids. In addition, you hear the teens in the video asking angelically "what did we do wrong? why are you doing this?" This looks bad, of course, and, of course, most of the people commenting on this blog were bashing the cop and sticking up for the kids. "All they wanted to do was skateboard. That mean, mean cop! What's his problem!?" Well, first of all, we don't know the history of these teens with this cop. We also don't know what happened prior to the cop taking the kid down and putting him in cuffs on the ground. But that didn't stop people from making up their minds about the entire situation and labeling the law enforcement baaaad and the teens just angelic, innocent angels who just wanted to skateboard (in an area where it was illegal).
And these are only two examples. There are also plenty of examples of kids doing this in school to try to get teachers in trouble. There is definitey the possibility for this sort of thing to get completely out of hand, especially with kids getting more and more internet savvy. And especially in an era in which kids are given more and more 'power'. 'Back in the day', parents could enforce discipline in their own homes with their children, but now just think of a kid getting spanked or slapped by their parents for being a brat and misbehaving, but getting it on video somehow and then turning around and putting it up on YouTube to make their parents look like abusive parents.
It's really out of hand. And these are just a few examples.
My solution is not to deny people the right to do this, but simply to make sure people are aware that this happens and that we cannot believe everything that is posted on the internet. In fact, a good rule of thumb would probably be to assume everything is not true or only partially true until we can verify everything.

I was thinking this meant MK being uncomfortable trying to defend her positions. But I saw it as MK being uncomfortable having to not say "O"Reilly, quit acting like such a dweeb!"

Michael in MI on November 28, 2007 at 11:23 PM
Good points. I hadn't even thought of the parental discipline aspect.
Years ago, pre-cell phone videos everywhere, I did something at a major sporting event once that was very atypical of me. Not criminal, but if it got posted on the web, I'd still be mortified to this day. Seems to me the web makes it harder to close the door on certain mortifying events in life.

Oh come on AP, your alexa is 20,000. Traffic normally fluctuates (especially when you get as much traffic as you do) and you are on the low end of the downward trend. It should start trending back up again due to normal fluctuations by this time next week.
I actually miss seeing MM's videos. I bet if you could talk the boss into doing a video for Hot Air each week traffic would dramatically rise. Every media outlet could use a little eye candy b-roll from time to time.
I'll lay off the Catholics if you think that's driving away the viewers. They are just such an easy target. . . and generally it's the non-Catholic Christians that get most of the ridicule here if it isn't from me. I'm just calling it like I see it.
Don't get so depressed AP, that's my job.

Bill has jumped the shark. he did it a long time ago when he gave credence to CAIR. He has become a blow hard sad to say like Olberdouche.
pjf626 on November 29, 2007 at 12:19 AM
Someone needs to bite the bullet and ask MKH to come over to HotAir as a vlogger full time. Enough of these teaser clips from her voluminous appearances on cable news shows (some of which prolly have fewer viewers than this web site).
And when is the "Girls of Hot Air" calendar coming out? It's almost Christmas time and I needs a new calendar (in case I forget the order of the months or.. something..).
You would know better than me AP but it seems like there is a good flow of traffic here. The only comment on my blog I've received called me an idiot. Just one comment and it was not encouraging. SO hang in there don't give up just yet.
Excellent job, Mary Katherine! She handled it/him well.
I think he really needs to pass the torch, he's sounding tired, like the spark has gone out.

The cop taser video wasnt the first one. In another state reported not long ago a civilian 20 something had his own car cam and caught a cop abusing him on tape.
CAM SHOULD BE EVERYWHERE and every public vehicle and delivery truck should be equipped with a GPS.

If she had any guts, she'd have called out O'Reilly on the fact that the company that syndicates his radio show, syndicates Dr. Drew's radio show (Dr. Drew hosts celebrity rehab). His radio show is also heard by kids, and it's disgusting–yet he's not complaining about that or disclosing that the host Dr. Drew is his colleague at Westwood One. But, hey, why get into Bill's hypocrisy?

If you are serious, instead of just taking shots at MKH, send it to his ombudswoman.
Spirit of 1776 on November 29, 2007 at 10:06 AM
I think MKH was distracted in that segment (probably by the upcoming debate she was covering) and wasn't on her best game, especially given the odd nature of O'Reilly's questions.
O'Reilly's concerns about police dash-cams are misplaced. Most law enforcement types I know or have heard from say they are a net benefit to police. While the dash-cams do catch police misconduct (as may be the case in the Utah clip O'Reilly showed), they also (1) protect honest police from false allegations of police brutality and (2) provide an objective "witness" to police stops to record things like suspects consenting to searches, suspects running from or assaulting police, and the like.
Outlander on November 29, 2007 at 10:52 AM
MKH needs a classier platform than O'Reilly's show. I've always considered him a poseur and an overbearing buffoon. He trivializes and grossly oversimplifies serious issues with his "I'm for the little guy" phony working-class hero shtick. Compared to him, Hannity comes off like Alistair Cooke. Yuck.
Travis Bickle on November 29, 2007 at 12:34 PM
I love these segments, if only for O'Reilly's confusion about, and thinly veiled hatred toward, this new internet thing he keeps hearing about. MKH has the unenviable role of trying in vain to assure Bill that the internet is useful for other things than being an illustration of all that's wrong with society. It perfectly encapsulates a lot of what I dislike about "The Factor."
As for the actual argument that Bill makes, I think Mary Katherine rightly pointed out that he's inordinately obsessed with the negative. The fact is, complete privacy at home in your own personal property should be preserved, period. Anything diminishing that even slightly is worth taking serious issue with. When I step outside, though, and enter the company of strangers whose actions I have no control over, I don't mind this kind of monitoring and displaying things on the internet for the public to judge.
Because I just read the post about Romney's Red Sox gaffe, I'm reminded of a relevant event. I was at the celebration near Fenway Park after the ALCS Championship win in 2004. Despite how delighted Romney and most of the city was after that win, a girl was killed because of it and, more generally, it brought out some of the worst aspects of human nature that I've ever witnessed first-hand. I've only been able to find video of the celebration/riots after the World Series win, and, having attended both, I remember that as being a relatively more subdued affair and, to the credit of the Boston police, the response to it seemed much safer and more organized. Still, some of the videos are pretty ugly (http://youtube.com/watch?v=y_exBcbZi6s). I could go on a lot longer (even though I fear I've already gone on too long), but my main point is that I wish there had been more videotaping of the scene and more of an internet/YouTube culture at the time so that the appropriate people might've been held accountable. Both the crowd and the police behaved very aggressively and it would be wrong to assign all the blame to one group or a few individuals without video evidence. (For my own part, I must say that I never felt unsafe or threatened until the police started opening fire with their "less-lethal" bean bag bullet things which really ignited the crowd, but a lot was happening and unfortunately I only have my memory to rely on.)
Anyways, I'll cut myself short here. Really sorry for the length and the tangent…

|This is a discussion on Live Poker in Switzerland? within the online poker forums, in the Poker Rooms section; I'll have the good fortune of being in Switzerland this spring with my wife for her job. Which means, I'll have a bunch of time
Live Poker in Switzerland?
I'll have the good fortune of being in Switzerland this spring with my wife for her job. Which means, I'll have a bunch of time during the day to play poker......or go hiking. I should probably go hiking....but, let's be honest.
We'll be near the Zurich area. Does anyone have any recommendations? Are the card rooms like the ones in the US? Dress code? Buy in? Etc?
Any help is appreciated.
Signed up just for you!
Well it looks like you picked just the right time for some Pokeraction in Switzerland!
I don't know what your Buy-In Level is and if you're gonna be here for this, but this Weekend on the 5th of April is a 1'600 CHF (High Limit Tourney) going on in Grand Casino Baden.
Infos here:
Then after that from 17.04-21.04, there's gonna be a Oster Pokerturnier (Spring Tourney) in Casino Schaffhausen with a Buy-in of 400 CHF + 40 CHF.
with sattelites around a week earlier.
Infos here:
And shortly after that will be the 7th Poker Circle Swiss Open 2014 with a Buy-in of CHF 600.-- plus CHF 80.- with additional smaller 300.- and 200.- Side Events, which will be going on from 31.04-01.05 in the Grand Casino Luzern. I haven't been myself yet but it supposed to be like the best Tourney Festival in Switzerland. At least it's the closest to a Festival in Switzerland...
Infos here:
All 3 of the above Tourneys aren't to far away if you're based in Zürich. All the Info's are in the Links above, however i didn't see an option to set the pages to english, but I'm sure you'll figure out what you need to know!
Below is one more link with all Tourneys going on everyday throughout Switzerland! (again not in english, even though the site is named in english, sorry about that)
THANK YOU! I will use this info for when we go. Turns out we're not going until May now but we are booked and ready to fly. What do you know about these casinos? In other words, dress code, etc. I know some can get kind of "uppity". Thank you again!!!
re: Poker & Live Poker in Switzerland?
Actually I havent been to any of those casinos, so I can't say. I know that in Bern you cant wear Caps, so I believe you generally gotta forget about wearing them. Although in Zürich your allowed to wear them as soon as your in the poker area, so i'm not sure. You'll definitely be able to wear casual clothes. Dont think there are any Casinos with like suit requirements or anything like that...

Sam & Alaric
I roll over and slam my fist down onto the alarm clock, an ominous crunch sounding beneath my hand. I lift my head from the pillow and peer bleary-eyed at the table by my bed.
"Oh not another one, Tala!"
"It's not my fault they're so breakable!"
Jay sighs and dumps the pile of clean clothes on my desk. I sit up in bed, yawning widely as he tidies some of my stuff up.
"I never realised that you were a hen, Jay."
"I like a tidy house."
"But this is my untidy part?"
"You never know who you'd want to bring here. So keep it at a reasonable level, Tala."
"Urh, Jay."
He laughed and picked up a top from the floor, holding it out.
"Probably. Can I get dressed now?"
"Fine, I'm leaving. Steer clear of the kitchen for a bit though, please. They're having their...Breakfast."
I screwed up my face. You do not want to watch a vampire eating. Especially when all they actually eat is raw steak. Jay chuckles and wanders from the room. I climb from my bed and stretch in the middle of the room until I feel my back click.
I was just heading down the stairs when I heard the door ring. Uh-oh, I'd forgotten that Sam was walking with me this morning. But as I dithered on the staircase, Alaric swept along the hall and flung the door wide open.
"Can I help you?"
"Who are you?" I flinch from the top of the stairs as Alaric draws himself to his full height and looks down his nose at Sam.
"I am Alaric and a guest of Jayred and Tala."
"Uh-huh? Tala around?"
"I believe she is still in her room. Would you like me to fetch her?" Something slid into Alaric's voice at the end of his question, giving it a suggestive tone and from my place on the landing, I see Sam colour in anger.
"Alaric?" Jay appears in the doorway and walks to the door.
"Hello, Sam. How are you?"
"I'm good, Jay. Is Tala here?"
Jay turned and looked up the stairs, beckoning me down. I ran down and smiled, slightly worriedly as Sam and Alaric both stared each other down over me. I tapped Alaric on the chest, very hard to make him feel it and gently squeezed Sam's wrist to calm him down.
"Gimme a sec, Sam. I'm just going to grab some breakfast and I'll be ready then."
He stepped back a few places and dropped into the swing chair on the porch. Alaric winked at me as I passed.
This is going to be hard.

Item description for A Little Peace and Quiet by Modean Moon...Dr. Anne Locke has saved countless lives in her inner-city practice -- and wounded her own spirit in the process. Moving to a small Oklahoma town to restore the Victorian house she has just bought seems like the perfect change of pace.

Valuable grave-goods: priceless artifacts that someone wants to steal, and something will protect to the death...and beyond....
This National Readers' Choice Award Winner and nominee for Romantic Times Magazine's Reviewers Choice Award was first published by Harper Monogram in 1996.

Q1: What are the features of the JF Nihongo courses?
All JF Nihongo courses focus on practical activities which may occur in daily life or business situations, and set up specific goals which can be applied in real life in Japan. Through the JF Nihongo courses, you can assess yourself to see what you can do now in Japanese, what you need to learn, and what you will be able to do upon completion of the course.
Q2: What is JF Standard?
JF Standard, developed by The Japan Foundation, is a tool to help think about teaching, teaching and learning in Japanese-language education. Based on JF Standard, a learner's proficiency is not measured by whether grammatical structures or vocabulary are memorized, or how many chapters of the textbook are covered. Instead, it measures what the learner "can do" in Japanese as the need arises in a specific context. JF Standard makes it possible to grasp a learner's proficiency and knowledge in a more practical manner.
Q3: Why are JF Nihongo courses not divided into common levels such as "Beginner", "Intermediate", or "Advanced"?
Each JF Nihongo course is designed with "Can-do" statements in mind, which describe specific themes and learning goals; what learners want to be able to do after taking a course. These courses cannot be divided using common levels because the common levels are based on overall proficiency.
Q4: What are JF Standard levels, such as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2?
Instead of the common levels, JF Standard classifies using six "Can-do" levels, which are based on CEFR, the basis of language education in Europe (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), so that learners can clearly self assess how much they can achieve toward their learning goals. Note that the "Can-do" levels are applicable only for the proficiency of certain language activities in the course, but not overall proficiency.
Q5: What materials are used in the course?
We use textbooks and teaching materials suitable for each course with the goal of challenging the learner to be able to complete certain tasks by the end of the course. In order to accomplish this, we may use authentic materials such as those used by people in Japan on a daily basis. This way, learners are exposed to Japanese culture and the latest information about Japan.
We also use original textbooks published by the Japan Foundation: Marugoto: Japanese Language and Culture. It is a set of books and. We currently use Marugoto for "Everyday Japanese" courses.
Q6: Do you offer a course that focuses on conversation?
Depending on the course goal, some courses offer more conversational practice. Please read the course description and objectives to determine which course you should choose. We will offer regular meeting times for free conversation practice with native speakers of Japanese in the near future.
Q7: Are JF Nihongo courses useful for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test)?
Although there is no guarantee that you will pass the JLPT, every course can be useful and will contribute towards your understanding and knowledge of the Japanese language.
Q8: How large are your classes? Do the courses have age restrictions?
The maximum number of students per class ranges from 10 - 16 people, depending on course activities. All courses are open to individuals 18 years or older.
Q9: What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation and refund requests must be received via E-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) by the cancellation deadline for a full refund. You may change your course level (if space is available) before the cancellation deadline, but no changes are allowed after the deadline.
Q10: What is the waiting list policy?
Once a class is full, applicants will be placed on a waiting list and will be notified when space become available. If a space does not become available after the cancellation deadline, we will refund 100% of your payment.
Q11: How do I choose the correct course Level?
Read each course description, and choose one that has activities and themes that fit your interest. Read the self-check list for the course you are interested in to check if the course is a good fit.
Q12: How will I know if a course is full?
Visit the course listing page to check the status of each class ("Open" or "Closed").

Cubbon Park is awash with the colours of summer. Bright yellow tabebuia competes for attention with the fiery red gulmohur, and as you lie on the grass under the jacaranda trees, lilac flowers fall gently to the ground to create a soft carpet.
But ever since the first tree was planted here in the 19th century, Cubbon Park has always been about people. Modelled after Hyde Park in London, this was a place to see and be seen in.
Matrons rolled past in hackney carriages through 'Meade's park' as it was called, after the then acting commissioner of Mysore, Sir John Meade, and Hussars galloped down its leafy avenues on horseback.
Nearly a century and a half after it was planned and landscaped by Major General Richard Sankey, a Madras Sapper and chief engineer of Mysore, who also built Sankey tank and the Attara Kacheri (now High Court), the park remains as vital a lung space as it does a social one. Couples meet with a measure of safety, the health conscious take in the fresh air, dog owners walk their canines and cultural groups perform before its verdant backdrop.
Some of Bangalore's biggest protests have happened here too, before Freedom Park became their designated venue.
Cubbon Park sat on over 300 acres between the Cantonment and the traditional Bangalore 'pete' and became the boundary for what city historians called the famous 'Cantonment-Pete divide'. Stories report toll booths along this line and limited interaction between people on both sides.
It was later called Cubbon Park after Sir Mark Cubbon, who became the British Commissioner of Mysore state (1834-1860) and in 1927, was officially renamed the Sri Chamarajendra Park, during the silver jubilee commemoration of Krishnaraja Wadiyar's rule.
Frozen reminders
But, reminders of Victorian England remain scattered across the park. Sir Mark Cubbon stands frozen in a statue near the terrace garden and King Edward VII towers over a flowering frangipani tree in the Queen's Park. On the other side is Victoria, queen of England for over 63 years. Crowned empress of India in 1876 by Benjamin Disraeli at her golden jubilee, she now stands separated from her Albert in the shadows of her lost empire. But the jacaranda blossoms continue to fall around her and on the charming little Cubbon Park traffic police station (1906) next door, which was built to protect her statue.

N.C. Hits Top 20 of Truck-Related DeathsOct 18, 2005 | www.journalnow.com
North Carolina ranks 19th among the states when it comes to traffic deaths involving tractor-trailer trucks, according to a national survey released.
Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety brought victims of truck accidents to Washington including a Kernersville woman whose father was killed in a tractor-trailer accident 22 years ago to announce the results from a study conducted by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis.
Last year in North Carolina 198 people died in accidents involving large trucks, according to the Fair Analysis Reporting System or 2.3 deaths per 100,000 residents.
In the survey released yesterday, Wyoming ranked 1st with 8.1 deaths per 100,000 population, and Hawaii ranked 51st with just over 0.3 deaths.
"Most people are concerned with the possibility of contracting and dying from West Nile Virus," said Jacqueline S. Gillan, the vice president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety. "Yet in 2003, the year of the worst outbreak of the disease, 262 deaths occurred nationwide.
This is close to the number of truck crash deaths alone 248 that occurred last year in a single state such as Georgia," she said.
The safe-driving advocates would like to see eight-hour workdays for truck drivers, and on-board monitoring devices that would track the amount of time drivers are on the road.
Exhaustion is considered a leading cause of accidents.
"Too many trucks on our highways are sweatshops on wheels," said Joan Claybrook, the president of Public Citizen, a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization.
Jennifer Tierney, a Kernersville woman whose father was killed 22 years ago in a truck-related accident, spoke at the news conference yesterday. She is spending several days in Washington to lobby legislators for stricter rules regarding how long truck drivers can be on the road between breaks, among other issues.
"I wonder what is going to happen now with the new Dell Plant and the new FedEx hub, I worry that there are going to be even more trucks, with heavy loads and tired drivers in the area," she said yesterday.

Activities That Add Meaning To Each Day For People With Dementia
Many people who are living with dementia are bored. Read on to find out how you can help to change this to a world where they can truly say, "I'm engaged!"
Along with the diagnosis of dementia there often comes an expectation that abilities are diminished. The focus shifts to what this person can no longer do rather than focusing on the remaining abilities and what the person is still able to do.
The unfortunate and unnecessary expense of this common misconception is not only endless days of boredom and loneliness, but also the excess disability that comes from disuse. People with dementia do not need to sacrifice quality of life or the enjoyment that comes from doing the things that once gave them pleasure. Activities merely need to be adapted to the individual's current level of ability. Don't ever hesitate to explore new ideas that may add hours of enjoyment to their endless days.
While we can't reverse the dementia, we can keep the body, mind and soul enriched and engaged throughout the course of the journey. The goal is to expose abilities. Find opportunities to: engage in the creative arts (including music, painting, sculpting and colouring); stimulate the senses (e.g. give a hand and foot massage and create activities that involve bright colours); and address the needs of the whole person (including the exercise, good nutrition and the need to be connected to others).
Activities such as the ones presented below are an excellent way to fill up the day, engage the brain, mobilize the body, enhance self-esteem and, most importantly, add pleasure to each day. These activities can be done independently or in a group, thus providing opportunities for conversation and social connection.
Some points to consider before you begin:
The DementiAbility philosophy always begins with asking who the person was in the past and who they are now.Ask:
- What were this person's interests in the past?
- What are they interested in and able to do now?
- How can you adapt what they enjoy doing so they can do the activity successfully now?
- Are there things they didn't enjoy in the past that they would enjoy now (the creative arts are a great example of this)?
Connect interests with current needs and abilities. For example, giving a card game to someone who didn't like games in the past will likely be an ineffectual way to engage someone with dementia, but don't assume. While some people didn't enjoy certain leisure pursuits in the past, it doesn't mean they won't enjoy them in the present.
Once you identify what the person would like to do, adapt the activity to the person's abilities. Ask the person with dementia, "Would you like to play this (e.g. game)?" Offering choice is an important part of supporting someone with dementia. When you ask, "Could you read a book?" you are asking if they are able. They may believe they can't. Change the words to: "Would you..."
Be realistic and celebrate every "success." In the late stages of dementia, a smile or a sentence may be a tremendous success!
We have lots of ideas, but will only share a few in this blog. Check out our website for more ideas (at www.dementiability.com). If you enjoy using the computer, consider searching for additional ideas on Pinterest. For additional ideas check my pins out at www.pinterest.com/dementiability.
Examples of activities for dementia:Flower Arranging:
- Flowers in oasis: Purchase silk flowers (at the dollar store) and put into the oasis in a vase or flower pot and put on the table at every meal.
- Plant seeds in a pot of soil and nurture. When ready for use, cut and put in vase.
- Using one or more flashlights (use different sizes for those who are able), find enough batteries for each flashlight.
- Ask the person if he/she would like to help get the flashlight(s) working. Always demonstrate to ensure the person understands what to do.
- Note: This activity can be also be done with other objects such as remote controls or any other item that requires batteries or parts that can be taken apart and put back together.
- Use mesh laundry basket and numerous soft balls.
- Those who are more able can shoot the balls into the basket. To make this easy for later stages of dementia, someone can hold the laundry basket and when the person throws the ball the person holding the basket moves it towards the ball to ensure the ball goes in.
- You will need a deck of cards.
- Each player turns over one card at a time and the highest card wins.
- Use two sets of cards, each with a different colour back.
- Ask the person to sort by colour and put back into the appropriate box.
- Bake a cake in a cup
- Ipad game "Best Guess" (designed for older adults with dementia -- but great for all)
- Reading (we have special books for people with dementia -- see our website for titles)
- Math, spelling, word search and trivia (available on our website)
- Conversation cards
- Memory book (We call it "Let's Talk... About Me." This is a template for creating a memory book.)
- Yoga
Engaging in daily activities brings meaning and pleasure to each day. Activities address needs related to boredom, loneliness and disuse. While at first it may take a little extra effort to purchase and/or organize activities, your efforts will be well worth it when you note the smiles and joy experienced by those who fill their days with a variety of leisure pursuits that are "available" and connected to interests and abilities.

At times everyone can become tired of housework, business activities, or social obligations. However a person with dementia may become very passive, sitting in front of the television for hours, sleeping more than usual, or appear to lose interest in hobbies.
A person with dementia may seem different from his or her usual self in ways that are difficult to pinpoint. A person may become suspicious, irritable, depressed, apathetic or anxious and agitated especially in situations where memory problems are causing difficulties.
Everyone can become sad or moody from time to time. A person with dementia may become unusually emotional and experience rapid mood swings for no apparent reason. Alternatively a person with dementia may show less emotion than was usual previously.
Anyone can temporarily misplace his or her wallet or keys. A person with dementia may put things in unusual places such as an iron in the fridge or a wristwatch in the sugar bowl.
A person with dementia may find it difficult to follow a conversation or keep up with paying their bills.
People with dementia may dress inappropriately, wearing several layers of clothes on a warm day or very few on a cold day.
We sometimes forget the day of the week or where we are going but people with dementia can become lost in familiar places such as the road they live in, forget where they are or how they got there, and not know how to get back home. A person with dementia may also confuse night and day.
Occasionally everyone has trouble finding the right word but a person with dementia often forgets simple words or substitutes unusual words, making speech or writing hard to understand.
People with dementia often find it hard to complete everyday tasks that are so familiar we usually do not think about how to do them. A person with dementia may not know in what order to put clothes on or the steps for preparing a meal.
Declining memory, especially short-term memory, is the most common early symptom of dementia. People with ordinary forgetfulness can still remember other facts associated with the thing they have forgotten. For example, they may briefly forget their next-door neighbour's name but they still know the person they are talking to is their next-door neighbour. A person with dementia will not only forget their neighbour's name but also the context.

Dear Soul Mate,
Graham finds a journal and makes it his mission to find the owner and return it.
Graham Wall marched down the busy New York Street, avoiding the eyes of the citizens who shared the side walk. They avoided his in return.
It was November, and a snowy drizzle - sharp, wet little flakes that bit into your face when the wind hit them - was beginning to fall from the heavy grey sky. Graham squinted against the precipitation and walked faster, feeling the strain of the heavy briefcase in his shoulder. His trench coat flapped behind him in the wind. His hands were icy and turning red. It was still several blocks before he would reach his apartment building. The sidewalk crowds were thinner now. Traffic was barely moving. Yellow cab cars dominated the street, completely still.
The sleet, or whatever you wanted to call it, was freezing and melting and slushing on the ground, sliding precariously underneath Graham's unpractical black work shoes with the laces that always managed to come undone. He leaned and pinwheeled to steady himself about every 10 steps. He chuckled as a woman fell on her bottom climbing out of a cab.
Graham chose his steps more carefully now, opting for the areas that were less shiny and slick. His toes were cold. Finally, just before reaching the intersection across from central park, his feet came out from beneath him entirely and the world spun and he was on the ground and his head hurt.
Graham could feel the ice melting under him and soaking into his pants, but he was too stunned to get up right away. He sat there, dazed on the sidewalk. Several people walked past him, not making eye contact, not even slowing down. He got up and dusted himself off, too cold to fully feel his embarrassment. It was then that he noticed something on the ground. A passerby had accidentally kicked it, scooting it a couple inches, making a scuffing sound against the pavement. Graham knelt and picked it up, nearly tripping a woman who had not succeeded in walking around him. She grunted and moved on. No apologies or reprimands to "watch where you're going!" This was New York after all.
Graham inspected his findings - a book, leather bound, with no title or markings of any kind on the cover. A brown ribbon attached to the binding marked a place about 20 pages from the end. A journal, perhaps. The cover was wet and dirty. Graham looked around, holding it high, wondering if someone around him would claim it. "Is this yours?" he asked the woman pushing a stroller hurriedly past. "Excuse me, did you drop this?" he questioned a man carrying a tray of coffees. Nobody gave him a second glance.
Discouraged, Graham wiped most of the slushy grime off the cover with his sleeve and opened it. Instead of a name and address, there were only three words on the first page, written in the hand of a child, with large crooked letters:
Graham chuckled and ignored the warning. He turned the page.
I meen it. This is PRIVET PRIVATE
Graham smiled and turned the page. Written in pencil, in the same childish handwriting, was a longer entry:
Dere sole soul mate,
Mom says that somday you wil come and sweep me of my feet. I have dic decided that I wil wait til I am older and then you can come sweep me of my feet. I am riting you letters in this jurnel because I dont know your adress.
Love Becky
Graham was still smiling. He flipped the pages, stopping at one in the middle. The writing was neater, the spelling much better. Evidently, either someone else had written in the private "jurnel" or Becky had grown since her first entry. He flipped to the back, hoping to find an address or phone number or even last name. Where the ribbon marked, the entries stopped.
A sudden wind broke through Graham's concentration. He put the book in his pocket and hurried home, careful not to slip again.

Stopped by to grab a couple of caches while making my way home to Madison. Initially, I missed this one, but after seeing the note from Woodland3000, I kept at it and made the find. On my way back past from visiting a nearby 'cat' and deciding my life wasn't worth a ninja monkey climb in the snow, I ran into Lacknothing while they searched. Chatted a bit on our way back to the vehicles and then hit the road. TFT?C!

New DVD Fitness Program For Moms That Actually Features Real Moms!
A 13 DVD series that features real moms doing real workouts. America's trainer to the moms, Dustin Maher puts a different mom each DVD through a fat loss workout. Many of the moms have gone from a size 18 to a size 4! FREE CD and DVD available!
"Moms are looking for something more, something that they can relate to and rally around. A program that has given other moms results who started out in the exact same place that they did," states Dustin Maher, America's trainer to the moms and the creator of Fit Moms For Life.™
Dustin's wildly successful weight loss programs for moms in Madison, Wisconsin, created quite the buzz and his innovative programs were soon featured locally on NBC, ABC, and CBS. Moms from all over the world were contacting him wanting to know the secrets of all the dramatic before and after pictures.
Dustin put together the Fit Moms For Life DVDs which is a 13 DVD series that features 13 moms (all of whom Dustin has trained), one mom per DVD. Dustin trains the mom inside a home, focusing on intense weight training, high intensity cardio, innovative abdominal work, nutritional guidance, and an interview with the mom. Each woman in the video has achieved dramatic results, many going from a size 18 down to a size 4. Others look better now after 4 kids than they did in college.
The DVDs are designed to be real. Each mom is working extremely hard in the DVD, they are profusely sweating, struggling, and don't have any fake cheesy grins that are in most workout DVDs. Despite the professional DVD production, very little editing is done to allow for the real workout and the real story behind the moms to be shown.
Each DVD builds upon the previous one, to progress a mom from a very low level of fitness, up to an extremely fit athletic mom… the top 1% fitness level. The only equipment needed is a stability ball and a couple sets of dumbbells. Many moms are choosing to skip the gym and workout at home because of the many advantages such as the time savings, money savings that come with no gym membership, no travel costs, no childcare costs, no personal trainer costs, and very little equipment costs. Plus they can workout while their kids are sleeping or at school.
Dustin is giving away a FREE 58 minute informational CD as well as the first months DVD in order to get as many moms to try the program out for themselves.
Dustin Maher is an ACE certified personal trainer and holds a bachelors degree in Kinesiology Exercise Science from the University of Wisconsin. He can be seen on most local networks and also can be heard on Wisconsin Public Radio. He currently works with about 200 women locally per week through personal training and bootcamps, as well as hundreds more who are actively participating in his Fit Moms For Life DVD program.

Thank you very much Kit and Nick for your advice. Having shorter lines
certainly does get rid of the problem.

>> Good advice--it could be nonprinting characters--but it may also be that the SMCL parser is barfing on too long a paragraph. Use, e.g., TextWrangler or BBEdit and see just how long each line is. Put in some seemingly unnecessary line breaks so that lines are not too long. I have often been bitten (using a Mac) by SMCL parsing, which seems to have some internal limit that it is not too hard to surpass, and does not give you any warning when you do.
