Hanukkah Harry Isn't Laughing
Filed Under Current Events, Religion | Leave a Comment
Oh those stock clerks — always the refined sense of humor (I should know, I was one back in the day):
A posh food store in New York's Greenwich Village has found itself red faced after offering hams for sale with the slogan "Delicious for Hanukkah," the current Jewish religious holiday.
This grocery store owner better hope the same "mistake" doesn't happen during Ramadan, or his new address will be Fatwa City.

Please confirm that you want to add Overcome Shameful Thoughts and Feelings, to Have Better Sex! to your Wishlist.
"...Shame causes us to feel that we are unacceptable." - Norman Bales, Coping With Shame and Guilt
The conflicting messages about sex and sexuality are so pervasive in our culture, it's no wonder so many of us are confused. We are taught that our bodies are inherently shameful, that our sexual thoughts, feelings, and desires, are wicked. Yet we see sexual imagery all around us, encouraging us to buy all manner of products. We are supposed to conform to a certain standard of attractiveness and desirability, but maintain our virtue, chastity, and modesty.
If we deviate even slightly from our locally accepted, currently fashionable, socially imposed "norms" we are shamed. As a result, you might have troubles fully accepting and embracing your sexuality, and this can often lead to challenges in your intimate relationships.
Through 7 video lectures, you will explore:
By overcoming shameful thoughts and feelings about sex in general, or perhaps specific sexual thoughts, desires, and / or behaviors, you will be able to have a happier, more fulfilling, more deeply intimate sex life with the partner(s) of your choice.
You'll get to meet your instructor, and learn about my professional background and motivations for creating this course. You'll also have a clear idea of what this course is all about, who it is intended for, and what you'll get out of it by the end.

Since I am developing several different hypnosis courses, and each one will need an Introductory section, I've opted to create a standalone Introductory course. Learn about that here.
Some of the best descriptions and definitions of shame I found during my research on the topic.
In this lecture, you'll gain some insight into the origins of your shame.
We'll go in depth with some tips and tricks to overcome shame.

WordCamp Nashville 2016 is set for September 17-18. Early registration ends at midnight on September 4, so get your tickets now to ensure we're prepared to see your smiling face!
A $40 ticket gets you two days of WordPress awesomeness, Nashville WordCamp swag, a tasty lunch, PLUS admission to the after-party.
This year promises to be the best WordCamp Nashville's ever experienced, with expanded programming, a new venue, and lots of excitement!
Two days of programming
We wouldn't be doing the burgeoning Nashville tech scene justice if we weren't growing right alongside it! Camps of years' past have happened all in one day, but this year we're expanding to two. The first day will be familiar to attendees from previous years – 8 hours of sessions that fall into three tracks targeted at different types of users, followed by the always-popular after party. The second day will be a contributor day where attendees can learn how to contribute to WordPress in a variety of ways from code to community organizing, supplemented with small classes that will allow attendees to go in-depth on three different topics.
All attendees are invited to attend any session, regardless of skill level, and can switch back and forth between tracks at any time.
A brand new location
As much as we loved Nashville School of Law, we wanted to be closer to the heart of the city and closer to the community that sustains us. This year we'll be at redpepper & deavor.
redpepper & deavor are conveniently located to all that Germantown – and the city at large – has to offer.
For those coming from out of town, Germantown is a must-visit. For locals, there's no other area that is so close to the city center while also feeling like home. Germantown is listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979 and was Nashville's first suburb. It is one of Nashville's most architecturally heterogeneous neighborhoods, containing a significant concentration of Victorian building styles and has been designated as a city Arboretum by the Nashville Tree Foundation.
Nearby points of interest include: The Nashville Farmers' Market, home to up to 100 farmers and artisans, 16 restaurants and shops, and more than 50 merchants selling clothes, jewelry, home goods, and more; Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park, where you can explore Tennessee via a 200-foot granite map of the state, a walkway featuring the 95 counties, 31 fountains representing the major rivers of Tennessee and an extraordinary wall depicting the history of the state; restaurants including Germantown Café, Monell's, Mad Platter Restaurant, City House, Rolf and Daughters, Butchertown Hall, and The Red Bicycle Coffee and Crepes; and the new First Tennessee Park, the new home to the Nashville Sounds, AAA affiliate to the Oakland A's.
So much excitement!
Nashville is growing by leaps and bounds, and so is the WordPress community. Right now, there are over 1400 members of our local MeetUp group, and right now, community members are working to schedule MeetUp sessions in neighboring cities like Franklin, Mt. Juliet and Hendersonville. The enthusiasm and passion for WordPress is growing, and this year's camp is your only opportunity to connect with so many 'Pressers in one place at the same time.
This year's WordCamp will bring together more local WordPress fans than ever before – don't miss out!
Refund policy and ticket help
You may request a ticket refund until Wednesday September 14th. We understand that life changes so if you need to ask for a refund please contact email@example.com or contact us through our Contact Page. You can also use the WordCamp contact page if you have trouble buying your ticket or have other questions.

I'm going to treat this like I've treated the Sherlock Holmes incarnations and re-interpretations over the decades... we'll give it a chance and see if they can tell a story.
The critical part I wonder about is if they can recreate the Spock/Kirk/McCoy verbal philosophical banter that the original cast evoked.

I just got back from it, I'm litterally buzzing from seeing it I'm probably going to watch it again tommorow.
Its the first star trek movie where I feel cool about seeing it a star trek movie.
I've been a fan of the show for a long time but I was never into the first series (I've never watched it) I grew up on deep space 9 and voyager.
This star trek movie is incredibly far removed from them, to give you an idea just how far removed it is from the latter serries (cant make comment on the first) they manage to fit in sabotage by the beastie boys.
Dont worry it works, the whole film is amazing.

Did someone call a doctor

Yeah I saw it yesterday. It was really really good. While not *strictly* cannon they did it in such a way that it fits into overall story well enough. It was really quite well done and those unfamiliar with Star Trek or who never had interest in it before would be able to watch it quite easily. All the original series characters are there and the by-play was pretty entertaining as well as their history. In fact the actors portrayal of each character was done well, Zachary Quinto nailed Spock imo. It was good to see Lenard Nimoy again as well. Although Bones' line of "Dammit I'm a doctor, not a physicist" did seem kind of odd, but still made me smile. As did Scotty's lines later on. I'm pretty sure they got all the one-liners the characters are famous for in there somewhere and most wouldn't pick up on them unless you had prior knowledge of them.
Anyway. definitely worth seeing, even if you were a fan of the series or not.

If that was an "odd numbered film" I wonder what the new "even numbered" films are going to be like?
They hit just about every single line they possibly could and made it fit. They also did some other things that were subtile but homeagey enough to amuse me (the apple Kirk is eating for instance was a nice touch for the origination of that scene in the lore).
There were a few wonky things involved...but this is Star Trek. Most find a why to work anyway and are easily forgiven.
The only line I don't remember hearing was "He's dead, Jim". That might have been said...I just don't remember hearing it.

any other comments whether praise or criticism from fans of the series? friends told me the movie was awesome but they're not exactly star trek fans. I'm definitely going to see it soon but am a bit skeptical about it so will appreciate views from the audiences who are fans of the series and had seen it in order to set my expectations lol... Because at rotten tomatoes the movie currently is also a big hit and overwhelmingly awesome.

I've watched Star Trek for a long time. This movie is just fine. It is a little more action packed than the other Star Trek films, but then this is the first time they've used a younger cast ("The Motion Picture" was made when the whole cast was in their late 30s or early 40s, and the Next Generation movies were made after the entire cast had been doing Star Trek for over seven years) so the actors themselves could put more energy into the action like some of the early "action" episodes of Star Trek when the cast was younger.
They hit most every plot point they could, and almost every one-liner they could. They even add some more good one-liners. While a few things are clearly a lot different than it once was, most can be explained away quite easily while others are kind of in the realm of "okay, that's different". Most can be explained away as things that have happened in the last 40 years that means that certain things can't really happen as they did in the orignal show (such as the Enterprise being built in San Francisco Naval Yards (Hunter's Point)...which now is getting homes built over it, (and the city is heavy anti-Navy politically) so it is unlikely that there will ever be a naval yard there again...even for Starfleet...so it gets moved to someplace you could build a huge ship that doesn't need to be floated out to sea....) Or making the technology match more of what we have today pushed two or three steps beyond what is on the drawing boards, much like in the late 60s how stuff they used then was sometimes considered high tech but is today considered almost common.
The timeline is a bit wonky, but whenever you get into Star Trek, time can get wonky with alternate dimentions, multiple timelines, transporter accidents, whatever. A few of the old stories they couldn't do as they did originally anymore for one reason or another. But the stage is set. If this does well, we may see more of this version of Star Trek in the future, though I don't know if we will ever see another TV series based on this film. They could do it, but then why would the actors want to when they can do movies?
And for once the Enterprise isn't "the only ship in the quadrant". This is StarFLEET. When there is an emergency, the Fleet goes into action, not just one ship that happens to be a few hours away from the problem area. Especially if the emergency ships come out from Earth. I liked that.

[Overheard in the ticket queue]
Guy A: Wow, Star Trek is selling out fast. I didn't know it was so popular.
Guy B: I'm surprised too. I've always been more of a Star Wars fan. Star Trek is a bit too sterile to me, no offence to those Trekkies out there.
I was prepared to hate this film. Not because I'm a Trekkie, mind you. In fact, far from it. Like many other people, I've always found Star Trek a bit too "sterile" for my tastes. Even the "sexier" casts of TNG and various Star Trek spinoffs never really managed to capture my interest, while I've always found the original series to be, well, a tad dry. But I did enjoy the movies starring the original crew, especially Wrath of Khan. If you ask me, I personally find the uniforms worn in the first few movies to be the smartest-looking in the entire franchise. And the original crew had a chemistry which the best of TNG never really did have, in my opinion.
No, I was prepared to hate this film because of J. J. Abrams. I have a love-hate affair with his productions. I liked Felicity, but I never quite saw the point of Lost and Heroes, and I resent how those two latter series got as popular as they did. So, when I heard that Abrams had admitted to not being a great fan of Star Trek, I wondered, "Then why the heck did you take up the project? Just so you could inject some 'much-needed' sex appeal to a respected series?"
Well, I watched the movie, and you know what?
Star Trek isn't sterile any more. And, much as I hate to admit it, I concede that the franchise is now much better off because of it.
That is to say, Star Trek (2009) is not so much a prequel as it is a brand new adventure that launches the USS Enterprise into brave new worlds, boldy going where no man has gone before.
May its crew live long and prosper.

I've a minor engineer's irritation with the Enterprise being built ON THE GROUND (almost every science fiction motif has starships being built in Earth orbit or farther out - in lunar orbit using lunar materials from a heavily industrialized Moon). The guides to the original series (ST:TOS) basically assumed a "Space Dock" where she had been built (later shown in the movies). The connection to the San Francisco navy shipyards was considered purely bureaucratic (the dockyards being in space but managed from SFO).
The Enterprise wasn't even supposed to able to land on a planet (hence the need for transporters). But whatever...
San Francisco has always had a strong military connection dating from settlement days through WW2 and after --- they still have the September Navy celebration with the Blue Angels doing their routine over the bay and many ships docked for people to visit. Visits to San Francisco in the Star Trek stories show that was where the StarFleet Academy was based as well as being an important diplomatic entry and meeting port.
This is 200 years from now.... things evolve, but hey the Golden Gate Bridge is still there.
So far *everyone* I know who has been a "trek" fan since The Beginning Of Time has been mostly very happy with their experience of this film.

This film is a super-charged version of Star Trek; action-packed, big visuals, dramatic story points and great character moments. The visuals are spectacular, the action is first rate and the world finely detailed. All of this would be for naught if the characters were not up to scratch and for the most part they are. Chris Pine manages to embody Captain Kirk. You see the character in him, just as with Zachary Quinto as Spock. Karl Urban is, in my opinion, the most successful as Dr. McCoy, managing to create some of the great touches that made the character so great. The writers cleverly used Leonard Nimoy's character as the elder Spock in a scenario that allows this film to serve as both a sequel and a prequel at the same time, thereby avoiding the trap of adhering to the franchise's continuity.
All around an enjoyable movie.

Having the whole ship build on the surface does seem very odd. The authors suggested that it was so that the ship's artificial gravity could be tuned correctly to Earth Standard gavity. However there as been suggested in other older material that the saucer section of the Enterprise was built on land (in a dock at Hunter's Point) originally, while the secondary hull was built in orbit. The saucer could land (the drawing even have the landing struts on them), but only for emergency use since the ship could not reattach itself to the secondary hull without a starbase and spacedock support.
As for San Francisco. They might still have Fleet Week, but it is purely for city revenue. The City Council is very much against having the military in their city these days. On the other hand there really isn't any naval bases of any real size between San Diego and Pudget Sound anymore. At last none that really support any warships. Time may change this...since it is well over two hunderd years from now. Though I like the thought that Starfleet Headquarters could be based around the new Lucasfilm complex in San Francisco.
For future Star Trek, I do wonder just what the Fleet is doing. Seven or eight starships of various sizes I believe can be seen. I wonder just how other materials will handle these changes verses what has come before.
I would note that the "history section" of the new Star Trek Online game mentions the "incident" involving Spock in the "normal" Next Generation (post-Nemesis) timeline and then continues onwards.

I would say ALOT of things about the new movie, but the one that I want to say the most: This is the first Star Trek movie that I can watch without making me feel like my Trekkie geek power levels are OVER 9000, and yet still be the best damn Trek movie ever.

I'm still wondering about all the extremely positive reviews that this movie has garnered so far. "Star Trek" is mediocrity in its purest form. A bland, generic movie that is so utterly boring that I can't bring myself to either love or hate it. Also, the nausea-inducing handheld camera would've been right at home in a Michael Bay movie. It's pretty sad that only Nimoy's short appearances elevated this movie to a whole new level for a short time. Strip this movie of its "Star Trek" title and you're left with a B-Movie with a big budget.
5 out of 10
PS: I hope this is not the beginning of the end of Michael Giacchino's career. His score is really bad compared to Goldsmith's, Horner's, Rosenman's & Eidelman's.

Well considering the age of the car, that Nokia could have been very old as well. (Would that be considered "classical music" by 2250?)
Positive reviews for a Star Trek film are very rare. The other ten films didn't get these kinds of reviews.
On the other hand, a "high budget B movie" is exactly what Star Trek would go far given the nature of the original series production quality. It wears the shoe it was designed to wear.

The problem with the other 10 films was that they relied heavily on an audience's prior knowledge of the entire franchise. In a way, most of them were fanboy films, created by fans for other fans. So, it's not surprising that people who weren't already Trekkies usually avoided them.
This particular movie, on the other hand, bills itself as the "prequel" that establishes the background of all the original characters. Therefore, it's less daunting for a general audience. That, plus the fact that it does indeed offer a good mix of action, sex appeal and Trekkie references, makes it a box office winner unlike all its predecessors.

It's now on my Must Watch list.
Call it anything, but on the strength of the trailer this ST is better than before, its sci-fi "cheesiness" is what makes it work, and the reworking might be the high-strength tonic this TV classic needs.

Besides, there's a lot of great "B" science fiction films out there... (e.g. Forbidden Planet).

The Celtics were down by double-digits late in the fourth quarter against the Pistons. There was no shot at winning. But there was Rajon Rondo out on the court. He was trying to get his 10th assist and continue his streak of 10-plus assists (now at 34 games).
He got it, but was it right? Celtics great Cedric Maxwell was in studio with Gary Tanguay and Lou Merloni to give his take -- and he doesn't agree with the move.
"I wasn't shocked, I was disappointed," Maxwell said. "You were down by 17 with two minutes to go. Your perspective is about winning the game. That turned to getting Rondo another assist. I talked to Doc Rivers on the plane about it. Celtics have made a great comment about one thing they've always said -- 'I am a Celtic. I am a Celtic'. And this is a motto, this is a slogan that they use. Well, that's not the Celtic way. The Celtics have never had anybody who led the league in points scored, but the biggest stat for the Boston Celtics is winning a game. So if your perspective is about winning, and you lose that perspective, than I think you might have made a mistake."
Max continued:
"It would be better off if it ended because I think you get back to just playing basketball."
Maxwell goes on to talk about someone else that Celtics fans are disappointed in -- Jeff Green. Check out the video for more.

Myself and my fiancee had a three night stay here to plan for our wedding in September of this year.
We were absolutely delighted with the views of the surrounding countryside on our arrival by car from Pisa (which takes roughly an hour). Upon driving into Guardastelle the beautiful vista's are 360 degrees of Tuscan vineyards, views to the medieval town of San Gimignano and the beautiful landscape.
We met Fausto upon arrival and he provided a very warm welcome and proceeded to tell us all about the history of Guardastelle estate. We were shown to our room for the stay... Teresa. All the accomodation here is of an exceptional standard. Teresa has a picture postcard view from the bedroom and everything was spotlessly clean and fresh.
The location is perfect...walking distance into San Gim less than 20 mins down a quiet pathway, which Guardastelle provide flashlights for walking at night. There is also a restaurant (Da Pode) just at the end of the driveway. We ate here on the first night and enjoyed the rustic Tuscan food. Next time we will try the Fiorentina steak, 2.2lbs was too large for only two of us!!
Breakfast was well prepared and there was a good choice of bread, pastries, fresh fruit, cereals yoghurt, salami & cheese plus the option of eggs & bacon. Also a varied selection of teas and coffee.
We didn't get to do the wine tour on this occasion as we just didn't have time but I shall look forward to this on our next visit.
Overall I can highly recommend Guardastelle for your holiday in Tuscany. Fausto & Susanna are very obliging hosts and go the extra mile to ensure guests needs are attended to. The location is stunning and the prices are very reasonable for the standard of accomodation and service you receive.
Thank you Fausto & Susanna for being the perfect hosts and looking after us so well. We are really looking forward to coming back with our family and friends for our wedding in September. Very best wishes for the new addition to your family.
Grazie Mille,
Jacqui & Michael xx

Johannesburg: Pakistani umpire Aleem Dar offered a prayer on Monday after he narrowly avoided being smashed on the face by a full-blooded drive from Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar. Dar ducked on time but fell to the ground as Tendulkar straight drove Namibia's Bjorn Kotze during Sunday's World Cup match at Pietermaritzburg. The ball whizzed past the umpire's head and raced towards the boundary, one of the many shots Tendulkar hit during his knock of 152. "I could have been killed," a relieved Dar said on Monday. "I got saved because of my good eye sight. I still play cricket, you know. I have not seen a more powerful drive in my four years of umpiring at the international level," the 34-year-old Dar said. Dar dismissed any suggestion of holding a grudge against Tendulkar for the narrow escape. "I actually quite enjoyed the incident," he said. "Sachin was very apologetic about it and kept saying sorry for the next two overs." Tendulkar said he may have been denied a boundary if the ball had hit the umpire. "I was looking to hit the ball as hard as possible," he said. "I connected that particular ball and was glad I got four runs for it."

2:00 pm
>> eve of destruction. let's play "hardball." good evening. i'm michael smerconish. leading off tonight, hope or hopeless? despite a litany of challenges facing republicans, party leaders put on a brave face at this week's summer meetings in boston. their mission is a clear one, rally the party around the theme that worked well for democrats in 2008. that would be hope. >> what we have to do in a sense is be a party of optimism and hope. part of what we have to do in the era of obama's disaster is we have to get beyond being anti-obama and we have to reconvince people you can have hope in america. that we can have a better future. >> hope for republicans nationally is what the party cling to because at the moment it's all they've got. that much was evident in you
2:01 pm
read politico this morning which reported that the republican establishment sees the party on the national level as veering toward destruction. they report that an "it's almost impossible to find an establishment republican in town who's not down right more rose about the 2013 that has been and is about to be. they see this year as a disaster in the making even if most elected republicans don't know the it or admit it, the party's wounds are many and they're all self-inflicked. poe at this time cosays threats of government shutdown and debt default have ended all hopes of proving that republicans are not insane when it comes to governing. thanks to out of mainstream reactions on issues like immigration, voting rights, marriage equality and women's rights, republicans have done an excellent job of alienating an array of voting blocs they promised to court after the 2012 elections. hispanics, blacks, gays and women. and thanks to hyper partisan districts, republicans have less to fear locally especially when it comes to their control of the
2:02 pm
house. nationally, it's a different story. jonathan allen is the senior washington correspondent with politico. sam stein is an msnbc contributor with huffington post. jonathan, that piece created quite a buzz today. i said to myself what's on the verge of extinction really is the establishment of the republican party. >> that's right, michael. my colleagues jim vandehei and mike allen did a very good job i think today of reporting the really as they put it more rose mood among the establishment in washington. you've got a couple of factors here. number one, the social issue set in which the republican party has essentially alienated a lot of voters whether you're talking about hispanics, black voters, female voters and on the sort of basic issues of governance, a party is threatening to shut down the government so that it can defund obama care. the establishment doesn't like that. certainly a lot of voices in the party want to see it or just shut down the government for the purpose of shutting down on the
2:03 pm
government or let the nation default on its debt. any of those outcomes are horror for the model that your traditional republicans want to see into this might not be evidence in 2014 because all politics are local and in those hyper partisan districts, the republicans could have a very good year and give them a false sense of bravado in 2014. >> these are the dueling tensions inside the republican party. you have a bunch of house republicans very attuned to the political whims of their own districts and whoes whims are very much much different than the party probably needs on the national level. what might be a good strategy for 2014 or status quo strategy could end up blowing in the republican party's face in 20 16. >> chris christie had the strong words for his colleagues yesterday at the summer meeting in boston. in direct reference to louisiana's he governor bobby jindal who called the party stupid, he said i am not going to you ca you the stupid party.
2:04 pm
election is over and we need to move on. he said see is, i'm in this business to win. i don't know why you're in it. for our ideas to matter, we have to win because if we don't win, we don't governor. if we don't governor, all we do is shout into the wind. jonathan, he's absolutely right. this has gotten lost over the last several years i think on both sides of the aisle. the sole purpose of political parties is to deliver election victories -- not to be ideological vessels. >> he's saying look, go have an argument, have an ideological debate. write about it in journals, talk about it in schools. but let's put together a winning coalition to put republicans back in power so they can implement some of the policies they want to. this is very much an echo of what bill clinton was saying to the democrats in the early 1990s after a couple of decades of liberal excess. it's something that was successful for him and hey, if you're chris christie, this is your only option is to make the argument that you're best suited to win and that it's about
2:05 pm
winning, not about ideology. chris christie is not where the rest of the republican party is idea logically. >> i think he's trying to define the race already in these terms. the question is, is that a message that will get outside that room of national committee people because his chief impediment to capturing the gop nomination is the nature of the primary process. we all know the type of candidates nominated these dayses in gop primaries. >> the issue is i an bit more complex than christie gives it credit for. idea logically, in many respects the republican party has one. they turned a debate over how to stimulate the economy into what the proper role of deficit reduction would be. the problem with the republican party has faced is when do you claim victory. so back in 2011, there was a broad deficit and debt reduction plan presented too them that they could have said yes to and claimed victory. they couldn't get to the yes. i think what will chris christie misses is that in many respects, the conversation has changed because of the 2010 elections.
2:06 pm
it's just the republican party is not willing to claim victory yet. >> let me give you an illustration what i'm talking about because it's from the garden state. there seems to be a lack of quality control in the republican party when it comes to candidates. just look at new jersey. a state that republicans have eyed for a long time. this is the candidate than primary voters have chosen to run against cory booker in the state's special election for senate. his name is steve lonegan. he opposes marriage equality. if you couldn't tell from that will photograph we just showed, he's against gun control. he's anti-abortion even in cases of rape and incest. he wants to dismantle the irs. a hard liner on immigration and wants to make glisht official language and rejeks climate change. a recent buzz feed of lonegan summarized him like this, he called social security a ponzi scheme, advocates for the des construction of medicare and medicaid, denounces spanish ad as -- and describes cory booker
2:07 pm
as a socialist who just can't wait to pull the race card. many people may agree with those positions but they're unlikely to get you elected in very blue new jersey. so sam, how can the republican party take control of this primary process and stop the christine o'donnells and the akins and the murdochs and the lonegans from blowing otherwise respectable opportunities? is. >> first of all, that photo wasn't subtle as you pointed out surrounded by guns. secondly, this is the sort of existential for people working on the senate race. how do you weigh in on primaries in a way that gets you electable candidates. and the irony here is the more the national party weighs in to push more electable candidates, the more likely it will be used against them. ta party will say look, if we just run a pure conservative, we'll win. well, that doesn't always work. there is an argument to be made that the republican party could have very close if not a majority in the senate right now
2:08 pm
the had they just ran more electable candidates. >> jonathan, i couldn't help but think of the race going on in his home state when i read what christie had said because the lonegan race is exhibit a of a race they're not going to win. i don't know how credible of a candidate they could have fielded against cory booker anyway. christie didn't want his name appearing on the same lalt as booker. >> you may be able to see behind me here in washington, cory booker scouting out property either an apartment or perhaps a house to live in for the next six years. look, chris christie doesn't want to be involved in these kind of fights either at the national level or at the state level in terms of appearing at the same time with some of the republican candidates that might push him to the right and certainly could have been difficult for him to take on cory booker in the state. but he's got much bigger ambitions and certainly much bigger possibility or prospect. i don't think cory booker going
2:09 pm
from newark mayor was going to be able to run for president whereas chris christie already has that platform where he could do that. >> reince priebus the rnc chair has acknowledged the schism in the party identity. this is priebus speaking to crowds in boston at the rnc's summer meeting. >> what does it mean to be a republican? not just i'm not a republican, i'm a conservative. i'm a lirtarian. i'm not, i'm not. except here's the problem. the word under your name on the ballot says republican. and it's about time we as a party started fighting for what the meaning of that word is. and we're going to do it. >> sam, does that square with chris christie saying wait a minute, the role of a party is to win? >> how do you do both? >> you got to find a certain party platform that works. i don't think at this juncture the republican party has done that. certainly newt gingrich when he suggested they put forward something proactive on health care was suggestive they needed
2:10 pm
to have a hopeful platform. if you look back from the election to today, the republican party and the gop has done everything to alienate the groups they most need to court. they've done voter suppression laws in many states, balked comprehensive immigration reform to alienate hispanic voters. now they're canceling debates both on cnn and nbc and telemundo and cnn espanol. if you're going to build a party and going to build a brand, they're doing it wrong. you got to be more inclusive and have a platform that draws people in. i've yet to see thing center the the republican party that does any of that. >> sam stein, jonathan allen, thank you. coming up, the republican national committee votes nbc and cnn out of the the 2016 debates because of their hillary clinton projects. it turns out the rnc has never approved primary debates so it's promising not to do something it doesn't do anyway?
2:11 pm
also, we all saw the picture of the rowio clown with an obama mask. disrespectle? racist, not according to a lot of people on the right who say democrats can't take a joke. and there certainly are enough bob filner accusers to choose from. and we've got the latest. a 67-year-old great grandmother here tonight to tell us what happened between her and the san diego mayor. and finally, it turns out, yes, all you alien conspiracy theorists, the government admits there is, after all, an area 51. and no, it's not what you think. this is "hardball," the place for politics. with the spark miles card from capital one, bjorn earns unlimited rewards for his small business. take these bags to room 12 please. [ garth ] bjorn's small business earns double miles on every purchase every day. produce delivery. [ bjorn ] just put it on my spark card. [ garth ] why settle for less? ahh, oh! [ garth ] great businesses deserve unlimited rewards. here's your wake up call. [ male announcer ] get the spark business card from capital one and earn unlimited rewards. choose double miles or 2% cash back on every purchase every day. what's in your wallet?
2:12 pm
[ crows ] now where's the snooze button? because of a migraine. so they trust excedrin migraine to relieve pain fast. plus sensitivity to light, sound, even nausea. and it's #1 neurologist recommended. migraines are where excedrin excels. it's back to school time. and excedrin wants to make sure your child's school is equipped to help your child excel. purchase excedrin for a chance to win one of 5 $10,000 donations to your child's school. go to excedrin's facebook page to enter. hillary clinton's getting a little love from the bush family. yesterday, barbara bush, the daughter of former president george w. bush said she hopes hillary runs for president in 2016. the younger bush says the former secretary of state is "unbelievably accomplished, but she's not sure she would vote for her. backing in 2007, george w. bush
2:13 pm
himself singled out hillary clinton as the democratic candidate he liked best saying "i think she's a very formidable candidate and one of the interesting things that she brings is she's been under pressure. she understands the colleague lights. at the same time, bush also said he thought the gop nominee who turned out to be john mccain would beat clinton. we'll be right back. all your important legal matters in just minutes. protect your family... and launch your dreams. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side.
2:14 pm
2:15 pm
it's time that we do what's right for our party and our candidates and by the way, it's the right thing to do for our voters. they're not going to get a real debate of substance if it's run by a network who wants to help out hillary clinton. we're done putting up with this nonsense. there are plenty of other news outlets. we'll still reach voters. maybe more voters but cnn and nbc anchors will just have to watch on their competitors' networks. >> welcome back to "hardball." that was reince priebus earlier
2:16 pm
today at the summer meeting in boston. delivering a spirited indictment on the liberal bias he says the media shows his republican donors and friends. today, the republican national committee unanimously passed a resolution preventing itself from partnering with nbc or cnn for debates if the networks move forward with planned hillary clinton productions ahead of what they say is a likely 2016 clinton presidential run. but is this a smart move by priebus and the rnc? after all, hardly none of the tough questions in 2012 came from cnn or nbc and beyond that, many of the candidates' worst performances like rick perry and his oops moment were self inflicted wounds. it would be a stretch to blame cnbc's john harwood for having asked that question. joining me is abby huntsman, co-host of the cycle and mo elithy. according to the autopsy report
2:17 pm
which conducted a thorough review of the party's performance and problems, the report said this. the republican party needs to stop talking to itself. we've become expert in how to provide ideological reinforcement to like-minded people but devastatingly, we've lost the ability to be persuasive with or welcoming to those who do not agree with us on every issue. mo, i've got to believe you would love it 239 debates in 2016 featured limbaugh, beck and hannity as the sole interrogators. >> look, this is -- i don't understand what they're doing strategically, but man am i glad they're doing it. this is a party that has pledged and said that it needs to expandity reach. but if you look at every single group that they -- that they lost so badly with in 2012, they keep poking them in the eye. and i think what's really going on here, i'm not inside reince
2:18 pm
priebus's head, but i think what's going on here is two things. one, this is great for their i think short-term fund-raising. there's a few things thank conservative activists like more than to beat up on the liberal media. >> plays well for the base. >> but it also limits debates. and by putting them on with rush limbaugh and sean hannity as the hosts, i actually think what they're doing is creating more opportunity for them to highlight some of the more fringe positions of the party which is not really what they ought to be doing. >> i thought that the autopsy made a lot of sense and one of the things, i'm paraphrasing, one of the things said we need to get out of the echo chamber. i've said this before, on wednesday morning after the election there were folks mystified by how obama won because they were solely dependent on drudge, talk rao and fox news. it keems like in contrast to the
2:19 pm
autopsy finding from the rnc, they're going right back into that direction. >> that's the answer. let's get rush and sawn hannity to monitor debates. in all honesty, i kind of want that to happen. for many republicans out there that want the party to change to move forward in a different direction, it has to hit rock bottom first. maybe having sean hannity and rush host a debate, we've hit rock bottom and we would be able to be move forward. the rnc doesn't have the authority to approve or to fund the debate. so they can say that all they want. they can encourage candidates, obviously, to boycott the debates, which would be effective, but you know, i keep saying look, if it is hillary clinton's mini series that's going to put her over the edge in 2016, we really have no business being in the race it begin with. they have their annual summer meeting. how much time have they wasted talking about this when we have bigger fish to fry. why are we not focusing on our
2:20 pm
message? why don't we have the courage to talk about things we need to do to move forward as chris christie said yesterday. >> let me give everyone a reminder, last siblg republican candidates faced tough questions from moderators of all networks. here's one exchange between mitt romney and abc's george stephanopoulos. >> governor romney, do you believe that states have the right to ban could traception or is that trumped by a constitutional right to privacy? >> george, this is an unusual topic that you raise. >> you went to harvard law school you know very well. >> has the supreme court decided that states do not have the right to the provide contraception? >> yes, they have, 1965, griswold v connecticut. you've given two answers to the question. do you believe the supreme court should overturn it or not. >> do i believe the supreme court should. >> sometimes the wounds were self-inflicted. >> and i will tell you, it's
2:21 pm
three agencies of government when i get there that are gone. commerce, education, and the -- what's the third one there? let's see. >> five. >> so commerce, education and the -- >> epa? >> there you go. >> let's talk. >> seriously? is epa the one you were talking about? >> no, sir. we were talking about the agencies of government. epa needs to be rebuilt. no doubt about that. >> you can't name the third one? >> the third agency of government i would do away with the education, the -- commerce, and let's see. i can't, the third one i can't. sorry. oops. >> abby, for reasons i think are aub, you paid particularly close attention to all those debates back in that psych. what i'm thering is some of the high points for candidates came
2:22 pm
when they faced tough questions. i remember specifically when john king at the outset of one particular debate hammered newt gingrich and gingrich had a great response that brought the house down. what would have happened to gingrich at that moment had king not provided him that opportunity? >> i also think what would have happened to rick perry had that moment not happened. my stomach still cringes. >> what would have happened to us as voters. >> my symptom make still cringes when i watch some of those clips. i just remember going to those debates with my dad. as you know, there was not a lot of substance at those debates. it was really a battle between who could be the most conservative, who could throw out the most red meat. i remember my dad looking at me always on the end with his hands up like i don't know what to do. you get 30 seconded to talk about something substantial. so i understand reince priebus's point. let's have more control over the debates and less of those debates. it makes us only look bad.
2:23 pm
let's not use hillary clinton as our way to fight this battle. >> and mo, you paid close attention, as well that some of the worst moments for the gop in that debate cycle came from audience reaction. and none of what we're addressing right now reins in that bad behavior. i'm making specific reference to when there was a soldier who was booed for having been gay and posing a question. >> yeah, and i got to believe that having the hannitys and limbaughs of the world isn't going to do anything to stem that. look, we all know what the republicans need to do. i hope they don't do it, but we all know what they need to do, they need to expand outreach and try to speak to more people and stop being so hostile. they've got policies and agenda that are openly hostile to huge segments of the population. rather than try to limit the number of debates and call that you will outreach, this he need to actually kind you have change their message and their agenda and their policies to make them a little bit more inclusive. instead what people heard today
2:24 pm
was we're not going to talk to you because we don't like what you're doing. and that i don't think is what will they ought to be doing. >> missouri, thank you. abby huntsman, good to see you. up next, the cia acknowledges a secret they kept for decades about area 51 and ufos. you can listen to my rao program weekday mornings at 9:00 a.m. on sirius xm's potus channel 124. this is "hardball." the place for politics. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

a and -- somewhat angry when i saw that president reagan had taken this symbolic step of retreating from the commitment to renewable energy. >> but the story didn't end there. the film follows those very solar panels 32 in all after they were salvaged by unitiy college in maine where they helped power the school cafeteria and when they reached the end of their useful life there, some of them went on a road trip with the filmmakers to atlanta. the filmmakers and used them to heat it the water in their bathtub before donating them to the carter presidential library. and finally, jennifer garner has hinted to "allure" magazine that her husband again affleck may be interested in seeking elective office. the argo star is no stranger to politics campaigning for john kerry back in 2004. but he's always been coy when it comes to his own political ambitions. listen to what he had to say about that back in 2004 at the democratic national convention.

>> as a person, i'm much more interested in what an actor has to say about something substantial and important than who they're dating or what clothes they're wearing or some other as nine insignificant aspect of their life. >> have you ever thought of crossing the line yourself? >> i'd like to -- i'd like your job, frankly. so i'm waiting for you to move on. >> waiting for me. thank you very much, ben. now i'll be nice to you. >> sorry, ben, i don't think anybody's going to replace chris anytime soon. up next, a lot of big names on the right are rushing to the defense of that rodeo clown, the one who wore an obama mask at the missouri state fair. you're watching "hardball," the place for politics.

i'm julia boorstin with your cnbc mark wrap. stocks ended a tough week on a
2:34 pm
down note today. the dow jones industrials is slipping to 30 points finishing up its worst week of 2013. the s&p 500 losing 5 and the nasdaq giving up 3 points. ten-year treasury bonds jumped to 2.73% a high since july of 2011 on speculation the fed will begin taper agits monthly bond purchases. consumer confidence fell unexpectedly this month from its high in july. that's it from cnbc, first in business worldwide. now back to "hardball." welcome back to "hardball." earlier this week, we showed you some shocking video from the missouri state fair. a clown dressed in an obama mask got jeered by the crowd as the rodeo announcer gleefully taunted, we're going to stomp obama now. >> let me tell these people who
2:35 pm
we got helping, obama is going to have to just stay there. obama, watch out for those bulls. >> i know i'm a clown. he just running around acting like one, doesn't note he is one. >> obama, are they're coming for you this time. whoo. >> as soon as this fool comes out, don't you move. he's going to get you, get you, get you. >> one person in the crowd compared it to an effigy at a klan rally. there was bipartisan condemnation and the clown who talked about getting obama wasser. thely banned by fair officials. while both those things are to be expected given the offensive display, what you might be surprised by is the strong reaction from the right. sawn hannity, rush limbaugh and glenn beck rallied to his defense. a support group on facebook popped up and some members of congress chimed in. steve stockman release aid statement saying "liberals want
2:36 pm
to the crush dissent by isolating and polarizing anyone who questions obama even if it's a clown with a harmless gag, the idea to create a state of fear and make people afraid to trivialize obama. no one tried to destroy the clown who wore a george herbert walker bush match. steve king tweeted mr. president, invite the rodeo clown to the white house for a beer summit. take the temperature down. have a laugh. relax. it's not about race. jonathan capehart is an msnpc political analyst and opinion writer at "the washington post." philip rutger is white house correspondent for the post. he just returned from the missouri state fair. philip, i know you were there on wednesday. what did you find? >> you know, i went there hoping to kind of hear what people thought about what happened at the fair that the rodeo. i wasn't sure what i would find. i ended up talking to about a dozen people there at the fair. all of them were in agreement they felt the media had overblown this. they didn't see anything racist
2:37 pm
or disrespectful about the act at the rodeo. i started talking to some of these people and they really had very strong feelings about president obama. >> by way of example, you interviewed one farmer who said i've got no respect for him. he's an destroyed this country. how much freedom have we lost? i don't care whether it's a black man in office but we have to have a "true blood"ed american. i think he's muslim and trying to destroy the country, catering to the muslim brotherhood in egypt and went on to tell you he goes to a website that compares michelle obama 0 to a monkey. he said they have the same expression. the media makes it all hate. i don't hate a black person. it's just funny. there are probably 25 internet you know, falsehoods in that one quote alone. >> the yeah. it was really startling to hear him say all of that. he really believes that. not only does he believe those falsehoods about the president but doesn't see anything racist in what he's saying or anything even disrespectful or inappropriate about what he feels about the president.
2:38 pm
>> jonathan, it's august. it's end of summer. i could go to many a boardwalk tonight i think and buy an obama mask. it's not the mask itself that makes this racially tinged. am i right? >> right. it's not the mask. it's what's being said and it's how the mask is being used. i mean, the guy was wearing a mask. the clown was wearing a mask. but the clown was also being propped up or looked like he had april broomstick or broom handle i think he was leaning on it or it was coming from behind him. you put all thatting the together, what was being said, how the president' portrayed, you do have a racially tinged moment there, and look, it's not just me and other people saying other african-americans saying it was racially tinged. the person who took the video is a white man who has been on our air and who said i think you said in the intro, he felt like
2:39 pm
he was at a klan rally. when someone who is sitting there feels so strongly about in that he took out his camera phone to videotape it to make sure that he had evidence that this happened and to share it with the world, then you know you have a problem. philip, i want to commend you on a fantastic story because i think sometimes when people hear charges of racism or the president being viewed in a racist light, there are a lot of people particularly on the right who dismiss it saying you're playing the race card just by bringing it up. but that quote that michael read just puts out there for all to see just how problematic this is. >> there's an element of in that swayed me because when i heard the story that there was someone working in this capacity wearing an obama mask, that didn't sound inherently racist to me. but philip, your coverage does discuss this. the guy who shot the video says that someone came out and played with the lips of the clown.
2:40 pm
right? >> that's right. and you know, this portion was not on the piece of video that he had. but he said that this happened during the rodeo and he saw that as a clearly kind i have plainly racist act. >> all right. rush limbaugh maybe no surprise threw his support behind the clown and blamed president obama for diminishing the office by going on the "tonight show" and, of course, he bashed the so-called liberal media response to what had happened. >> this is no different than those countries reacting freakishly when there were cartoons of the prophet muhammad. that is exactly what this is. you know, you people on the left, who the hell do you think you are? you can't laugh. you can't take a joke. you can't take a punch. you can't take anything. one little thing that you don't like and this clown can never work. >> jonathan, i used the reference to "the tonight show" because he also talked about the president going on the "tonight show." what distinguishes the rodeo incident from a late night
2:41 pm
comedian poking fun at the president? >> yes, it's all about context here. rush limbaugh rails against the liberal media, rails against the president all the time and even rails against me from time to time. if i say something that offends him which is usually every time. the issue here is that rush limbaugh and sean hannity and glenn beck so have the right and the republican party under its spell, that anytime they will saw something, you know, they hurl down thunder bolts against something, the rest of the party it either rallies conservatives to their side and makes people feel like what they feel and what they think is appropriate, but it also makes people in the building behind me when they're here cower in fear so that when you need leaders to step up and say what has happened is wrong, what has happened should not happen again, they don't say anything.
2:42 pm
>> well, meanwhile you mentioned glenn beck. he stood up for the brave artistry of rodeo clowns everywhere. watch. >> it shows how afraid this administration is. they are afraid literally of a rodeo clown. they can't afford to have anybody critical of the president. you know, people burn books and we had the mccarthy era where you were silenced because you were a communist. i got news for you, you may not see rodeo clowns as art or entertainment, but it is. this is an art just. a very brave artist, believe it or not. they could get mauled by a bull at any time. >> jonathan, i didn't like the disrespect shown to george w. bush. i thought all that sickness and hatred was beneath the dignity of the office at a minimum. i feel the same way about this. >> yeah, i mean, look, again, it's about the context. and when you make fun of george bush, when people made fun of george bush, it was about his
2:43 pm
intelligence or what have you. when you make fun of president obama, and sure we're not saying that no one can criticize the president or that every criticism against the president is racist or racial. but when you do what the rodeo clown did and what they did at that event, there's a whole other historical context that must be paid attention to. and that must be taken into account. >> i'll make it easy for you. if you play with the lips and put a broom up its butt, you got a problem. >> exactly. >> thank you. up next, another woman has accused san diego's mayor of unwanted sexual advances. the 16th woman to do so and she joins us next. this is "hardball," the place for politics. american express credit card, every purchase earns you 2% cash back, which is deposited in your fidelity account. is that it? actually... there's no annual fee and no limits on rewards. and with the fidelity cash management account debit card, you get reimbursed

2:48 pm
come in and try and kiss me on the lips and i'd have to squirm to get away. >> he got very chose to me. and he ran his finger up my cheek like this. and he whispered to me, do you have a man in your life? >> i was placed in the filner head lock and moved around as a rag daal while he whispered sexual comments in my ear. >> we're back. those are just some of the 16 women who have accused san diego mayor bob filner of inappropriate contact and sexual harassment. calls for him to step down from loath and national leaders continue. yesterday, house democratic leader nancy pelosi tweeted mayor filner is out of rehab. he should be out of the mayor's office. should not subject san diegoians to pain and expense of a recall. california senator barbara boxer made a personal appeal to the mayor in an open letter that reads in part "we've known each other for a long time. so i'm speaking to you now on a personal and professional level and asking you to step down as mayor and get the help you need
2:49 pm
as a private citizen." the latest woman to come forward, peggy shannon, a great grandmother who works at the senior citizens service desk at the san diego city hall accused of mayor filner of sexual this. joins me with her attorney gloria allred. give us the context in which the mayor told you he could, quote unquote, go eight hours? >> well, i came up to the desk and leaned over the desk and took my hands and says, i think i could go eight hours. and i looked at him and said, are you kidding? and he says no. i'm sure i can go eight hours. i was appalled. it was very shocking to me that will he would think that he could say something like that to me. >> and there have been bad behavior on his part prior to this? >> correct he had. >> i'm sorry. >> he had come up to me many
2:50 pm
times and taken my hand and asked when we could get together on the weekend, whether saturday or sunday and this went on for months. >> after the eight-hour comment, i know that you told your supervisor and a co-worker what he had had done, what he had s. was there any response from them? did the system begin at least to work when you made the report? >> well, they were kind of surprised that he had said that. i didn't go on about how many times he had done it until a little while later. >> as far as you knew, were other women in the loop? was it commonly known this guy is handsy or worse? >> no. at that time i didn't know anything about it. i didn't know that there were other women that had gone through what i was going through. >> and why -- for those who would want to know, well, why didn't you immediately come forward or make a bigger deal of it, what was going through your mind? >> i was kind of humiliated.
2:51 pm
and i have to say that i -- i didn't know what to do. i really didn't know what to do. i just wanted to come to work and do my job. and it took a while until these other women came forward for me to finally come for wand and validate what they were saying. >> gloria allred, this guy would seem to be a serial offender at this point. i'm almost losing track of the number of individuals who have come forward. how far will this go? >> well, we have also filed the only sexual harassment lawsuit, michael, against mayor filner. now, on behalf of our client, maureen mccormick jackson who was the first to come forward and publicly identify herself as a victim of mayor filner. since then that has inspired others who allege they are victims of mayor filner to also come forward with the total today up to 15, maybe even 16, who publicly come forward.
2:52 pm
and that deputy include those who have contacted me but who for whatever reason have decided not to come forward, or at least not to come forward yet. so the point is that mayor filner appears to think that women are fair game. it's particularly serious where the women are employees in city hall, because as to peggy shannon who i might add i give so much credit to because she has demonstrated enormous courage in coming forward, that she also alleges that the mayor as she was coming out of city hall one day and he was coming in grabbed her, hugged her and kissed her right on the lips. now, women who will work and all women are entitled to respect. they're entitled to dignity. they're not there to be the mayor's play things. and the city of san diego, the city hall of san diego should not be used as the mayor's sexual playground to have women any time he wants do whatever he wants. >> mrs. shannon, what did you do when he kissed you on the lips?
2:53 pm
>> i walked away from him. i didn't say anything. i was in shock. i just went and got in my car and went home and cried for two hours. >> and michael, he says that he can go eight hours. we just want him to go. we don't care how long he can go. he we just want him to go, as soon as possible. and that means resigning as mayor of san diego. he is a disgrace and he has brought shame upon this city hall and the people of san diego. >> you know, i'm not a shrink, obviously. i'm not qualified to say this. but there is a part of me that wonders if he is at home watching "hardball" right now and just loving this there are some weiner-like characteristics it seems like to this guy where he would rather be in the spotlight getting horrific publicity than not be in the spotlight at all. gloria, just a ten second response. >> he needs to put the people first. he needs to put the people of san diego first, and they have shown in every single poll that they want him out. the entire city council of san diego city wants him out, as
2:54 pm
well as both of our united states senators, senator feinstein, senator boxer. >> gloria allred, thank you, as always. peggy shannon, thank you as well. >> thank you. >> we'll be back right after this. you must be garth's father? hello. mother. mother! traveling is easy with the venture card because you can fly any airline anytime. two words. double miles! this guy can act. wanna play dodge rock? oh, you guys! and with double miles you can actually use, you never miss the fun. beard growing contest and go! ♪ i win! what's in your wallet?

2:57 pm
let me finish tonight with a question. are you ready for some football? i'm not talking nfl. i mean epl, as in english premier league. see, tomorrow english football, soccer to us in the states, is
2:58 pm
finally coming to the states. nbc has made a significant investment to bring top flight soccer to the united states for the next three years. a match tomorrow between liverpool and stoke city will commence the first of 380 regular season games that the nbc sports group will offer on a multitude of platforms. we're talking more than 1600 hours of annual programing. maybe you've seen jason sudeikis starring in a hilarious video promoting this launch, which already has more than four million youtube views. >> my name is ted lasso. i'm the new head coach for tottenham spurs. i've been brought over here to implement my coaching style. football is football no matter where you play it. you got grass, you got cleats and you got helmets with masks on. >> there have been occasions in the past where some have argued that the u.s. was at a tipping point and about to be smitten with soccer. i can remember the hype about pele's arrival when i was a kid, but it hasn't happened. this time i think it's going to
2:59 pm
happen. friendly matches have drawn huge crowds in the united states. wherever i go in the states, i see merchandise being worn by premier league fans of all ages, and of course more kids are playing soccer here than ever before. another factor might be the shifting demographics of the country, which make us more like fans who have made this the most popular sport in the world. so here are a couple of the basics to get you started. the premier league features 20 teams who play each other twice in a season, once at home and once away. so there is parody in scheduling in the season that runs from august to may. teams get three points forrer a win, one for a tie. there is no super bowl. and whichever has the most points at the end of the year wins the championship. the top finishing teams get to go on and compete in the european championship ons league, and the bottom three teams, they're essentially sent to the minor leagues. get used to hearing names like wayne rooney, gareth bail and robin van percent it is. they also have colorful owners. their jerry jones, he owns
3:00 pm
chelsea. in no time i predict will you will be loving or loathing manchester united. either way, i hope you enjoy the season. that's "hardball" for now. thank you for being with us, and thank you, chris, for allowing me this privilege this week. "politicsnation" with al sharpton starts right now. thanks, michael, and thanks to you for tuning in. tonight's lead, the gop's three-ring circus. today yet another sitting republican congressman is on the hook for embracing this hateful rodeo clown. who wore a president obama mask at the missouri state fair. congressman steve king tweeted, "mr. president, invite the rodeo clown to the white house for a beer summit. take the temperature down. have a laugh, relax. it's not about race." it's not about race.

(The Hosting News) – Has Microsoft been successful with upping its coolness? That appears to be the case, at least in the opinions of those aged 18 to 29.
According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll made available Thursday, a little under half of respondents in the age group agreed that, compared to just two years ago, the company has indeed become cooler.
The survey, meanwhile, also questioned respondents on other tech entities including Facebook (42% said it was cooler now) and Twitter (47% said it was cooler).
A Reuters report attributed Microsoft's solid showing to recent product releases. "Part of Microsoft's lift appears to stem from a well-coordinated marketing blitz around its all-new Surface tablets, which have revamped the familiar Windows interace with a tile-based, mobile app-friendly look and feel. Its Xbox gaming console and "Kinect" accessory, which can respond to gestures and voice commands, has in the past year also burnished its image around younger consumers," stated the Reuters news story.
Competitor Apple is commonly attributed by consumers as being hipper than Microsoft.
To get its results, Reuters/Ipsos polled almost five thousand people just earlier this month. The companies plan to administer the poll again in the coming future.

An interesting and, as far as I know, unannounced change has just taken place with the Google Keyword Research Tool: If you go and check the search volumes for your targeted keywords, you'll likely find that all of the numbers are far lower now than they were before.
The change affects all search volume numbers. The ones we're interested in for SEO purposes are generally the exact match volumes, though. In some cases, the drop in search volume is dramatic, with numbers being only fractions of what they were just a few hours or days ago and in other cases the changes are less dramatic. From the quick scan I had through my keywords list, it seemes that all of the search volume numbers dropped by at least 50%.
So, what's going on, here?
Well, it's been known for a long time that the search volume numbers presented in the keyword tool tend to be inaccurate. More precisely, they tend to be inaccurate on the side of exaggaration. I don't think I've ever heard of someone getting surprisingly more visitors than expected when hitting the number one spot for a targeted keyword. On the other hand, I've often heard of disappointingly low traffic coming to the number one spot of a sought-after keyword.
There's a thread here on the Warrior Forum and another one on the topic here on Backlinks Forum. From the developing discussion on both of these threads, it seems like the numbers are now more accurate, overall. So, the simple explanation for what happened with the keyword research tool is this: It was inaccurate before and now it's fixed.
But what are the implications? So far, there hasn't been an official statement by Google, so we don't know what was changed or why. Did they simply improve the filtering for automated, non-human queries? If so, does that mean that there are far more non-human queries to Google than there are actual searches done by human users?
And what does this mean for niche marketers and SEO'ers? Will the change in numbers impact what kind of keywords they go after or even change/invalidate entire strategies? Also: Is that part of the reason for the change?
And for some more unpleasant implications: What does the change mean for Google itself? Is it actually getting only a fraction of the traffic we formerly believed? Have they been deceiving advertisers with grossly inflated search numbers?
Don't get me wrong: I'm not predicting the end of SEO, here (as I'm sure many will…). Traffic volumes themselves haven't changed, only the search volume estimates have. Still, it will be interesting to see what develops of this. Also: Prepare for some epic moaning and complaining as well as apocaliptic forum threads (particularly the Warrior Forum is a favourite for those).
What's happened to your keywords? Will you change anything, now that the numbers are different? Let me know in the comments.
Judging from the comments (thanks to all commenters!), we all seem to agree that the new numbers are generally more accurate and that's a good thing. It's certainly better to work with accurate numbers when you're doing keyword research. Now, you should be able to look at the exact match search number for a keyword and assume that a number 1 ranking for that keyword will get you 40% to 50% of that traffic.
On the other hand, we're all still wondering about what caused the change and why the numbers were so skewed for such a long time, before.
I also still have not seen any official statement from the side of Google.
As was kindly pointed out by Josh in the comments, there's a semi-official statement about this change here. A Google employee wrote:
"If you use both the previous and updated versions of the Keyword Tool to search for keywords, you may notice differences between the tools for statistics on Global Monthly Searches and Local Monthly Searches. This is because the previous version of the Keyword Tool provides search statistics based on Google.com search traffic and traffic from search partners, while the updated version of the Keyword Tool provides search statistics based on Google.com traffic only. We've updated these statistics based on user feedback, and hope you find them helpful for keyword selection."
