Acerca del creador
I was born and raised in Honolulu and developed an interest in Art as an adult working for the Honolulu Police Department. Art became my sanctuary from my job, and I drew furiously for a year, while a friend sent my drawings to art colleges on the mainland. I chose Art Center in Pasadena and ventured off to California. After Art Center, I pursued a career in television and design that led to numerous awards, including the New York Film Festival Award for a documentary he co-wrote and directed. I also designed the CBS promotional Fall Campaign in 1986 and followed with the Star Wars Congressional Presentation for Ronald Reagan with Bob Able and Associates. I retired soon after that to concentrate on my own Art. I convey many moods in my work and am more interested in the effect of a subject than its correctness. I like to explore all facets of art from music to poetry, sculpting to stage plays. I want to touch, to feel everything. Visit www.Rolandroy.com to view samples of my Art.

How mad DID we make the Obama camp?
We've had our email box filled by many watchers of our site with a link to this article, and asking us if our little website may have something to do with the Obama campaign barring interviews outside events. According to Dave Davies:
Obama campaign operatives barred me from talking to voters outside the event, to the point of interfering with my interviews and grabbing my microphone.
This comes in one of the first Obama events held after our video of Caleb Bonham interviewing attendees of the Obama/Fluke rally this week took the internet by storm. As of this posting it has already been featured on Fox News and has over 190,000 YouTube views.
The account is chilling for those of us who believe we need more cameras and more people filming politicians, policy makers and supporters:
I was speaking to a very enthusiastic Obama supporter named Corinne Dieterle, when I was interrupted by a young man wearing a campaign staff tag telling me I couldn't be doing this.
This is outside, in front of a public high school.
"You can't be doing this in line," he said.
"Why is that?" I asked.
No answer. "I'm sorry," I said. "I can't do what in line?"
"You can't be interviewing people in line," he said.
New campaign policy: don't bother people waiting in line. So Mr. Davies then went to interview people who had not yet even queued up:
I decided to try speaking to a couple who were approaching, but not yet in the line. A different campaign operative approached and the same thing happened. He also refused to identify himself.
Later, inside the gym, I was in the assigned media pen and chatting across the rope line with Dieterle, who I'd tried to interview earlier. Another Obama press aide, Desiree Peterkin Bell came and politely told me that wasn't permitted.
Dieterle by the way was troubled by what had happened, and called the interference of campaign aides "un-American."
We're not going to say we DEFINITELY had anything to do with the Obama camp's new protectionist, anti-First Amendment policy but the timing sure makes us wonder . . . Then this morning our friends at Complete Colorado posted their headline:
So . . . did we freak out the Obama campaign to an extent we can no longer interview even the supporters? We don't know if it was us or just a general crack-down on the messaging by the campaign; but regardless such a policy is, as Obama rally attendee Corinne Dieterle said, "un-American."

Inactivity, as we understand it in the sense of passivity, certainly cannot be the goal. Were it so, then the walls around us would be the most intelligent; they are inactive. Clods of earth, stumps of trees, would be the greatest sages in the world; they are inactive. Nor does inactivity become activity when it is combined with passion.
Real activity, which is the goal of Vedanta, is combined with eternal calmness, the calmness which cannot be ruffled, the balance of mind which is never disturbed, whatever happens. And we all know from our experience in life that that is the best attitude for work. . .
The man who gives way to anger, or hatred, or any other passion, cannot work; he only breaks himself to pieces, and does nothing practical. It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.
The only true duty is to be unattached and to work as free beings, to give up all work unto God.

Nowadays, 3D technology is widely used in our daily life. 3D technology is not only attached to film industry but also computer manufacturing. As 3D technology is becoming more and more mature, the 3D glasses are becoming more and more powerful with advanced technologies attached.
Mobile phone, a familiar tool to us all, is also affected by 3D trend. If you are careful enough, you will easily find that there are few 3D mobiles available in the market. Hence, many believe that a new 3D phone race will be unveiled because 3D is so charming that any manufacturer that can seize this chance will gain great success. However, that will be another story. For those 3D fans, this post will show you how to play 3D film on your mobile.
I. Watch 3D film with your 3D mobile
Though 3D mobiles are few, there still exist some. Here this post will show you two 3D mobiles: HTC EVO 3D and LG Optimus 3D. With those phones in hand, you can watch 3D film easily. The greatest advantage of those two phones is that you don't need to wear any 3D glasses. That's to say, you can watch 3D movie with naked eyes.
With its 4.3 3D QHD screen, you can easily watch video in 3D, take 3D photos and capture your own 3D video. With dual 5 MP cameras, 4.3 QHD screen and intuitive camera button, you can easily make 3D movies. With 1 GB storage, 1 GB RAM and dual-core working coordinately with Android OS system, no wonder it can be so popular.
2. LG Optimus 3D
LG Optimus 3D is the first smartphone to launch with a "glasses-free" 3D display. The 4.3-inch 480 x 800 resolution screen enhances 3D effect. With a dual-core processor, dual cameras and dual-channel memory, LG Optimus 3D becomes powerful in function.
However, the "glasses-free" 3D technology is still immature. So even with those phones in hand there are still limitations for you to watch 3D film. It is said that HTC EVO 3D can't play videos with high definition of 1080P and you will feel dizzy after watching videos with "glasses-free" 3D display. It is also a headache to find out a website to download 3D films.
II. Convert DVD to 3D video
If you can't afford a 3D mobile, you can also watch 3D movies with this method. All mobiles can play 3D movie with this method, but the difference in the effect lies in the difference in screen size. The operation is quite simple but you need three tools: DVD, 3D glasses and DVD Ripper. You just need to convert DVD to a popular format and attach 3D effect to the converted video.
1. Click "File" and then choose "Load Video" to input DVD. Select the format for your phone in the drop-down list of "Profile".
2. Click "Edit" icon and then edit the video. The "Trim" tab can help you to trim video, the "Crop" tab can help you to cut video size, the "Effect" tab can help you to adjust contrast and brightness of the video and the "Watermark" icon can help you to add watermark to the video. After that, click "OK".
3. Click "3D" icon below the menu bar. Choose the 3D effect you want and adjust 3D depth with the bar. Click "OK" and then click conversion button.
With those methods mentioned above, you can enjoy 3D movies with your mobile freely. If those methods can't satisfy you, you may just wait for the further development of 3D mobile.

He fights for breastfeeding moms, welfare recipients, cyclists and bug-bitten tenants.
If Dr. David McKeown is a kind of activist, he's a blue-suited, button-down activist who rebuts the Ford brothers' off-the-cuff derision with words measured by the gram.
"Making progress in public policy and improving health of the population can sometimes be controversial," says Toronto's medical officer of health, who infuriated the mayor by proposing a reduction in speed limits.
He notes his predecessors had to fight early public opinion to get milk pasteurized and Toronto sewage treated.
"My job is to provide the best advice based on the best available science and my professional judgment," McKeown said in an interview Tuesday. "The elected officials have the challenging job of making the trade-offs and balancing interests and deciding what, in the end, is best for the community."
That's about the fieriest rhetoric you'll get from the respected physician who, since 2004, has overseen the collective health of Torontonians, challenging everything from the use of diesel commuter trains to advertisers who target kids.
He has focused on fighting "health inequality" — poor Torontonians in certain parts of the city have demonstrably worse health than others — and "diseases of how we live," including obesity and diabetes.
McKeown's pitch for a 30 km/h limit on residential streets and 40 km/h on others sparked a public backlash. Mayor Rob Ford called it "nuts, nuts, nuts," and McKeown's $290,000 salary "an embarrassment." Councillor Doug Ford asked: "Why does he still have a job?"
The health board reacted to the uproar by voting to look at speed limits only in neighbourhoods asking for a change. Board chair Councillor John Filion, however, called the Fords' comments "highly inappropriate."
McKeown, who serves at the pleasure of city council and the provincial health minister, says he has no regrets about the $45,000 report offering strategies to promote walking and cycling. "Good science" says even a 10 km/h speed reduction substantially reduces crash fatalities, he adds.
Asked if this is the most pushback he has experienced in a long career, the doctor laughs and recalls wild 1990s debates on banning smoking in public places.
"Council chambers were filled and protesters were taken out in handcuffs," says the married father of two daughters. "There definitely have been many more contentious issues."
Dr. Richard Schabas, a former Ontario chief medical officer of health who has known McKeown for decades, calls him "a dedicated health professional. He's taking his duties very seriously if he's offering unpopular advice to people in power.
"It's really, really unfortunate when politicians choose to beat up on a public servant like Dr. McKeown," says Schabas, now medical officer of health for Hastings and Prince Edward counties. "He can't fight back, he can't say 'Mayor Ford is nuts, nuts, nuts,' he can't question Mayor Ford's salary. I think it's disgraceful."
Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong, chair of public works, also criticized McKeown, he says out of frustration that transportation engineers could have done the safety study. Meanwhile, he said, the health department cries poor on bedbug funding.
As for the Fords' personal shots, he says, "Senior bureaucrats, especially heads of departments, are acting within a political environment, and they know that."

|You are in: UK: Scotland
Monday, 10 June, 2002, 15:42 GMT 16:42 UK
Low cost airfares campaign launched
A campaign to bring down the cost of airfares from Scotland has been launched by one of the country's most prominent politicians.
John Swinney said he also wanted to see access to other destinations improved as he called on the Scottish Executive to intervene.
The Scottish National Party leader said Highlands and Islands Airports (HIAL) was not being properly supported with the result that Scots in the north of the country bear higher costs.
Mr Swinney said that lack of support also led to heavy surcharges for onward flights on summer holidays.
But the Scottish Executive says it has increased support to HIAL which runs 10 airports, earning on average about £10 per passenger from landing charges.
Mr Swinney launched the Fair Fares campaign in Inverness, where low cost passenger airlines have been seeking to introduce new services, but at reduced costs.
He said: "Internally our airfares are too high, externally our links are too few and this situation is being compounded by the high surcharges Scots have to pay every year for their summer holidays.
"The north, in particular, has suffered from a Lib-Lab double whammy, high landing charges and low support for services.
'Encourage operators'
"The Scottish Executive has done nothing to break the logjam over landing charges at Inverness and to encourage low cost carriers into Inverness."
Mr Swinney said the executive, as the owner of the airports, was in charge of transport policy and therefore bound to act in the interest of the Highlands and Islands as well as the country as a whole.
SNP transport spokesman Kenny MacAskill said the party would take the campaign across the country.
Mr MacAskill said: "Landing charges must be brought down, the cost of flights must be brought down, and more low cost operators must be encouraged to put on more flights to more destinations."
However, an executive spokesman said HIAL did not set airfares and that "with an average of less than £10 per passenger, the level of landing charges is very clearly not the main determinant of airfares".
The spokesman said: "HIAL's landing charges compare favourably with similarly sized airports in the rest of the UK.
"Through subsidy, the Scottish Executive already meets 75% of the operating costs of Highlands and Islands airports."
The spokesman said the executive would encourage the airport company to attract new services, including those offered by low cost operators.
He added: "The Scottish Executive support for HIAL is at record levels, currently at £21.5m in the current financial year."

Some believe the simple text of poetry has a fading presence in a world of flashy television and colorful magazines.
For that reason, Michele Corriel created the Paper Towel Poetry dispenser.
Standing 5 feet tall on a leg of its own, a simple paper towel dispenser awaits to dab a taker with poetry after lured by the words, "Poetry Dispenser. Please Take One."
"People really like having poetry around," Corriel said. "And it's also a great outlet for the poets to give their voice to the community."
One of the 5 dispensers has a permanent home in the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture in Bozeman where she fills it once a week with 500 new poems from anyone willing to submit.
It's a form of public art that is interactive and always changing.
The 8th graders of Headwaters Academy submitted a mass of poetry as a class project and Manhattan High School students get extra credit for submitting their work.
"You never make any money with poetry anyways, so why not just give it away, " said Corriel. "Poetry is near poverty in the dictionary."
Sightings of the poetry dispensers include: Montana Festival of the Book, HATCHFest and on the streets of Helena, with hopes of finding permanent homes for all five dispensers someday.
"It's already taking on a life of its own," said Corriel.

The Politics of Education: Why AAPS Needs Its Own Michelle Rhee
Dr. Michelle Rhee, Chancellor of the Washington, DC public school system for the past three years, is once again in the news. If you've never heard of Rhee, have no fear, I'll catch you up. Michelle Rhee is a heretic, an educator who believes that public schools exist to educate our children, rather than provide employment for the women and men who work in the public schools. Moreover, Michelle Rhee worked to implement policies within her school district that led to a simple, yet monumental, change: excellent teachers were compensated very well, struggling teachers were mentored, and poor teachers were fired.
Mona Charen writes in a piece posted recently to the web site of the National Review:
Rhee got and used the authority to fire incompetent teachers and principals. She brought in young, idealistic teachers from the Teach for America program, and closed 23 failing schools altogether. Convinced that good teachers and principals were the key to improving performance, she instituted a teacher-evaluation program that required five observations per year of each teacher combined with a record of his or her pupils' test scores.
In fact, just this past Fall, Rhee dismissed 100 failing teaching from the Washington, DC district she heads. Dr. Rhee was able to implement her particular brand of school reform by pushing the notion of merit, and challenging the system of teacher tenure. Unless you're actually a public school teacher with tenure, this might seem like a no-brainer. Even at McDonald's the servers who are go-getters, provide the best customer service and stand out from the pack move up, not the servers who've simply been there the longest.
I've admired Michelle Rhee's desire to bring public K-12 education into the age of accountability since the first time I read about her—a piece that outlined her struggles with the Washington Teachers Union. Shortly after the FBI wrapped up a long-term investigation, and several WTU union executives were indicted for embezzlement, Michelle Rhee was hired. This synopsis of the case comes from a round-up of legal briefs compiled by the United States Department of Labor Office of Labor-Management Standards:
On May 22, 2006, and June 5, 2006, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, James Baxter, former treasurer of the Washington Teachers' Union (WTU), and Gwedolyn Hemphill, former assistant to previously-convicted president Barbara Bullock, were sentenced following their jury trial conviction for conspiracy, embezzlement, mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, false statements on LM reports, and falsification of union records. Baxter was sentenced to 10 years in prison and was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $4.2 million and perform 900 hours of community service. Hemphill was sentenced to 11 years in prison and ordered to pay $4.2 million in restitution. These cases were the result of a joint investigation by OLMS and the FBI.
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) was not among Michelle Rhee's admirers. In fact, the AFT, it was revealed on Politico.com today, spent over $1 million dollars to unseat DC's sitting mayor and, most likely, Michelle Rhee, who serves at the pleasure of the District's mayor. Politico.com's Ben Smith broke the story about the AFT's spending. Smith writes:
The American Federation of Teachers spent heavily to unseat Washington, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty and to put the brakes on his aggressive efforts to shake up the city's schools system.
The national union spent roughly $1 million in contributions to a labor-backed independent expenditure campaign — also supported by the public workers union AFSCME — and on its own extensive political operation, a Democratic political consultant familiar with the details of the spending told POLITICO. The spending suggests that the vote — while not a referendum on Fenty's attempt to shake up the school system — was deeply shaped by that policy. And while the teachers union has been careful not to claim the scalps of Fenty and his schools chancellor, Michelle Rhee, the election may serve as a political shot across the bows of other urban officials considering similar policies.
Why the animosity between AFT Prez Randi Wengarten and Michelle Rhee? In a September 15, 2010 blog entry posted to The Atlantic, writer Natalie Hopkinson explains exactly why the AFT was gunning for Rhee in a piece posted to the magazine's web site:
This Spring, Rhee negotiated among the most revolutionary teacher's contracts in the country, which essentially broke the union, loosening tenure protections in exchange for the potential for teachers to make more money and earn performance bonuses. D.C. is being hailed as a model in urban education reform, and there are plans to replicate this model; The Obama Administration is putting more than a billion dollars behind a "performance-based" rewards system similar to the one being tested in D.C.
It was well worth a cool million dollars to the AFT to protect tenure, stamp out performance bonuses, multiple teacher evaluations, and the use of student test scores in the mix of materials used to determine whether teachers are successful in their jobs. A million dollars was, in fact, very little to pay to get rid of Michelle Rhee and her heretical notions that education reform should begin with re-thinking the way teachers are compensated, evaluated and retained. In 2009, the AFT took in almost $200,000,000 from its 850,000 members. To compare, the AFL-CIO took in $193,000,000 during the same year from its 11.3 million members. Between 2006 and 2009, Michelle Rhee's closure of failing schools and dismissal of ineffective teachers cost the WTU local $700,000 (35 percent of its total revenues) and 400 members. The corresponding loss of revenue payable to the national AFT office from the WTU affiliate wouldn't be at all significant. However, think about Rhee's reform program going viral, and now the AFT national office stands to lose significant revenue from affiliates shrunk by the dismissal of poor teachers, and the closure of failing schools.
I'm writing about Michelle Rhee because this past week I attended two Ann Arbor Public Schools curriculum nights. It's a great opportunity to learn more about what to expect in the upcoming school year. It's also an opportunity to experience, first hand, the results of the local Ann Arbor Education Association's union contract. It's exactly the kind of contract Rhee worked to reform. I listened to one teacher at curriculum night announce that, no, she hadn't planned out her curriculum just yet, and had not ordered her supplies so the students could begin their classwork. The meat of the class could not begin, this teacher explained without the least bit of hesitation, because she hadn't cleaned and organized her room completely—two weeks into the school year. She had been moved into that class, I discovered by talking to my tot, thanks to the latest round of budget cuts. This teacher told parents she'd been out of the classroom for 15 years. She wasn't teaching that class because she was an organized, prepared, enthusiastic or inspiring teacher, or even because she wanted to be there. That woman is there because she needs a job and, obviously, had more seniority than the young guy who'd taught there last year, a popular, inspiring educator, a guy who moonlighted at a local pub for extra cash.
The Ann Arbor School Board is preparing to hire yet another Superintendent, and I urge them to choose for our next superintendent a woman or man who is much more Michelle Rhee and much less George Fornero and Todd Roberts. I'd like to know that when I write to the superintendent and the principal of the school and ask how in the name of Socrates a teacher can show up for curriculum night without, well, a curriculum plan, that there's someone there who really believes that public schools exist, primarily, to provide a quality education to the students.

Suffolk, VA – Here in America, pulling down your pants and showing your butt to a school bus full of young children is generally frowned upon. But that, nor common sense, didn't stop 34-year-old Lisa Grant from doing it.
Grant will be catching up on some sleep behind bars for the next few months after the Virginia mom mooned a school bus full of 45 children, Fox News reports.
She was actually aiming for the bus driver.
Grant admits that she had a very nasty tiff with the bus driver who had sent a note home explaining that Grant's son was a bit unruly on the bus lately. A school spokesperson called the note a "warning."
But Grant wasn't going to take the warning lying down — or standing up, as it turns out. She is accused of showing her derriere in the school bus' general direction last November, though she denies that she mooned the driver.
Presumably, there are 45 witnesses who said otherwise.
"I did not moon the bus. I did not flash," she said. "I take full responsibility for my actions, for my disorderly conduct, for my arguing with her. I take full responsibility for that, but she also deserves the same thing I got."
According to the Associated Press, Grant was convicted this week of disorderly conduct and sentenced to six months in jail, with five months of her sentence suspended. She worked out a deal to serve her time on the weekends.
She did not elaborate on why the bus driver deserved the same thing she got.
Check out video of the "mom moons school bus" story below (includes footage of the original incident):

Ribisi and Deyn are confirmed to have got married, a few days after being spotted at the L.A. County Registrar's Office.
Actor Giovanni Ribisi and British model Agyness Deyn were barely known as a couple, but news that they tied the knot has spread like wildfire. A rep for the "Avatar" star later confirmed that the couple indeed "quietly married in Los Angeles over the weekend."
Ribisi, 37, and Deyn, 29, were spotted at the L.A. County Registrar's Office, the East LA Branch on June 15. An employee of Crown City News testified that the pair were kissing passionately and coyly admitted to have been dating for "a while."
The wedding is a first for Deyn, but it's a second for Ribisi. Before dating the Aphrodite of "Clash of the Titans", the "Ted" actor was married to actress Mariah O'Brien. The former couple have a daughter together, Lucia.

I'm Thinking About Killing Glenn Beck
"Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing Glenn Beck, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could."
No doubt, the above quote is provoking two main reactions from those who've stumbled across this blog today:
1. Progressives, (who are wondering what's going on and horrified that I would talk about violence against another human being).
2. Conservatives, (who are outraged and angry that I would say such as thing about their hero, Beck).
But I wrote the above quote to prove a point.
That is: Wingnuts like Beck can literally get away with anything they say, and face no real repercussions. After all, all I did with the above quote is take a May 2005 quote that Beck made and I substituted the words "Glenn Beck" for "Michael Moore"----the words Beck used in the original quote.
Since Beck made that quote in 2005, his career has gone from strength to strength. Last year, he made over $23 million. His audience and influence continues to soar. This, despite the fact that he continues to spew out crazy, violent rhetoric like his 2005 quote about killing Moore.
And yet, if anyone on the Left makes even a mildly controversial remark, it will dog them to the end of time (and almost certainly end their career).
Recall that all Howard Dean ever did was give out an enthusiastic shout to his supporters---and that alone was enough to sink his presidential ambitions. He didn't even say anything controversial, for Chrissakes.
But the Right-Wing these days pretty much about to get away with murder, and face zero repercussions. Beck can call the predominately African-American victims of Hurricane Katrina "scumbags" and get away with it. He can call the mother of a fallen soldier, Cindy Sheehan, a "slut" and get away with it. He can chillingly talk about killing Moore and get away with it.
Speaking of repercussions, I'm aware that the grassroots group, ColorOfChange.org, is running a highly successful boycott against Beck's Fox News program. Thus far, they've managed to persuade over 60 advertisers to stop sponsoring Beck's hate.
I strongly applaud what ColorOfChange.org is doing. But I'm not entirely convinced that Beck will ever face any real repercussions as a result of this boycott. Advertisers, after all, are likely to just switch to other Fox News programs. As long as Beck's 3 million-plus viewership continues to rise (which is in fact the case), I doubt Beck is going to lose his show anytime soon, boycott or not.
There's another point I've been trying to make by quoting Beck's hate speech. That is: We progressives are a bunch of wussies. We let the wingnuts attack us over and over and we don't even bother to defend ourselves.
Case in point, Beck goes after Van Jones (a co-founder of ColorOfChange.org) and the White House promptly throws Jones under the bus (seemingly handing a big victory to Beck---at a time when he ought to be reeling and on the ropes after losing all his main advertisers). Once again, the Dems managed to take a clear victory and somehow turn it into a defeat.
People: it's time we take the gloves off and start fighting back against these bastards, fighting fire with fire. I'm sick and tired of people like President Obama trying to "reach out across the aisle." For a change, we need to act like we're the party who won a clear mandate from the American people, instead of a timid, meek party that is afraid of its own shadow and lets the GOP sh*t all over us every chance they get.
By the way, if you don't support fascist hate speech polluting our nation's airwaves, then please support ColorOfChange.org and sign their online petition.

RIGHT ON, MARC!!! You are very correct about the double standard found in our corporatist "mainstream" media when it comes to controversial statements made by those on the left versus those made by right-wingers. You are also correct to urge those of us who are sane to stand up and publicly call out the wacko wing-nuts on every one of their bogus statements. Let's go, progressive community. Enough is enough!
- Marc McDonald said...
Hi Jack, thanks for the kind words and your comments.
Bill Maher once said it best: America doesn't have a party of the Left and a party of the Right.
Instead, it has a centrist party and a crazy party.
For many years, Walter Cronkite was "America's Newsman."
Today, with his vast audience, I think it's safe to say that Glenn Beck is the Cronkite of our era.
You Liberals had no problem with Cronkite (a notorious Lefty). But you keep attacking Beck, just because he doesn't parrot the Liberal talking points.
No wonder the Democratic Party is a dying institution that few Americans take seriously any more.
Watching Glenn Beck (or Fox News in general) actually makes you stupid. Beck spews out an incredible amount of information and lies. Give him 5 minutes to talk and you'd likely need at least a couple of hours to sort out the record.
- Jack Jodell said...
I nearly laughed out loud when I read Mr. Garner's description of Glenn Beck as a modern Cronkite, until it became obvious the guy was serious. Walter Cronkite had high integrity, a huge amount of journalistic experience, and a superb education and knowledge of the world before he ever hit the TV airwaves. Glenn Beck shares absolutely none of those attributes, and that's what makes Beck a charlatan and Cronkite the deservedly revered newsman he was.
- Adorable Girlfriend said...
I agree, Marc! Glenn Beck and the false media outlets are deeply disturbing and worrisome.
- TEGS said...
Glen Beck is just a little attention craving whore who feeds on the insecurities and fears of the ignorant 10% of our population.
Thanks for the heads up on colorofchange.org.
I'm on my way there now!
- Vigilante said...
Don't kill Glenn Beck. Send him a bar of hand soap so he can start washing the blood of Bill Sparkman off his hands. I think it will take a lot of soap.

Development Dilemmas (Routledge Studies in Development Economics)
It is widely believed that economic development in much of the world is not happening quickly enough. Indeed, the standard of living in some parts of the world has actually been declining. Many experts now doubt that the solution can be purely technical and economic; it must also be political and moral.
This book brings together contributions from leading authorities, such as Joseph Stiglitz, Jean-Jacques Laffont and Daniel Hausman, on economics and political philosophy to survey current barriers to growth, including problems with policy and problems with concepts and thinking. Getting policies right, the contributors stress, is a complicated task in itself, but it also may not be enough; instead, people in both the developed and developing worlds may also need to reconsider basic and time-worn beliefs about facts, values, the measurement of data, rights, needs and the nature of government.
Of interest to economics and policy makers, Development Dilemmas is a long-awaited addition to the debate over economics and political philosophy in the developing world.

Trade-offs arise between spatial dependence and choice of functional form in agricultural land price hedonic models. We discuss these trade-offs and how they can create spurious spatial dependence. Using a land sales dataset with apparent spatial dependence, we implement a semiparametric approach avoiding potential problems with the functional form. The results show that in addition to being nonlinear, the impacts are also characterized by significance thresholds that are difficult to capture in a parametric model. More importantly, we fail to detect any spatial dependence demonstrating that inappropriate functional form can indeed be responsible for finding spatial dependence in hedonic models.

NORTH Essex MPs have said their salary is not an issue for them to decide.
In an anonymous survey carried out the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), the body responsible for setting Westminster politicians' pay, MPs asked on average for a salary of £86,250 - a one-third increase.
But Sir Bob Russell (MP for Colchester), Bernard Jenkin (Harwich and North Essex), Priti Patel (Witham) and Brooks Newmark (Braintree) all said the decision should be left with IPSA.
Clacton MP Douglas Carswell also did not respond to the IPSA survey, but said the idea of a big wage hike for MPs was absurd.
Other findings from the survey included more than two-thirds of MPs thought they were underpaid on their current salary of £65,738, which is more than double the national average wage.
Just over one-quarter of those polled also thought their salaries should rise by more than one per cent each year in 2013 and 2014, though the majority of politicians agreed with IPSA's decision to cap salaries at the same level as public sector wages and benefits.

Lulu panics when she learns Luke is doing business with Sonny as she knows Dominic is gearing up to bust Sonny's organization. Dominic barges into Sonny's office just as Lulu appears to be on the verge of blowing his cover. Jason tells Sonny he wants to take a break from the more violent aspect of his job so as not to send the wrong message to Michael. Jason receives a disturbing delivery. Anthony plans his next move. Johnny tells Maxie not to say anything to anyone about having seen Sonny wearing a blood- stained shirt on the night Claudia disappeared. Lucky wants to question Maxie. Luke stuns Elizabeth when he reveals he knows about her affair with Nikolas.
Jason enlists Spinelli's help in tracking down the person who sent him the photograph of Claudia's dead body. After Jason tells him about the photo, Sonny assigns Dominic the task of trying to find out who sent it to Jason. Jason's mystery stalker plans an exhibition at an art gallery in Port Charles at which Sam and Spinelii are hired to oversee the security detail. Lulu can't go through with telling Sonny the truth about Dominic but remains conflicted over her dilemma. Elizabeth pleads with Luke not to tell Lucky about her affair with Nikolas. Elizabeth confronts Nikolas over the fact he was aware Luke knew about their affair and didn't say anything to her. Lucky suspects Maxie knows more about the night Claudia disappeared than she's saying. Robin is slightly unsettled when Patrick's ex-girlfriend sends him a thank you gift which reminds him of his younger, wilder college days.
Dominic shows Olivia the photo of Claudia's dead body and warns her he suspects Johnny could have been the person who sent it to Jason which would mean Johnny's going off the deep end in the wake of his sister's murder. Johnny is stunned to discover the photograph when he's at Olivia's. Anthony and Joey Limbo go over their plan to ambush and kill both Sonny and Jason. Nikolas confesses to Rebecca that he's been using her, admitting he's in love with someone else. Elizabeth tries to get past the guilt she feels as she starts to connect with Lucky again. Patrick's a bit uneasy when his ex-girlfriend Lisa strikes up a friendship with Robin.
Johnny becomes angry when he realizes Olivia suspects he might have sent Jason the photo of a dead Claudia. Johnny learns Dominic's secret when he overhears him and Lulu talking.

London, June 14(ANI):Dannii Minogue has revealed that she was hurt after her affair with Simon Cowell ended, but admitted that he is not a bad guy after all.
The Aussie singer said that she was left hurt by the kiss-and-tell biography, which is said to have been written with Cowells co-operation and insisted that that all that has been revealed might not be the full truth, the Sun reported.
The pair came together while judging the reality show 'X Factor' but fell out after their relationship was revealed in Tom Bowers tell-all book.
She added that the music mogul has been amazing and has taught her many things. (ANI)

Earl Battey
Earl Jesse Battey Jr.
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 6' 1", Weight 205 lb.
- High School David Starr Jordan High School
- Debut September 10, 1955
- Final Game September 27, 1967
- Born January 5, 1935 in Los Angeles, CA USA
- Died November 15, 2003 in Ocala, FL USA
Biographical Information[edit]
Catcher Earl Battey reached the majors with the Chicago White Sox in 1955 and in five seasons with the Sox saw limited playing time behind All-Star backstop Sherm Lollar. Prior to the 1960 season, he and Don Mincher were traded to the Washington Senators for Roy Sievers. He immediately became a regular behind the plate for the Senators and remained one for six more seasons after the club became the Minnesota Twins in 1961
Battey was a starter in both 1962 All-Star Games and, after suffering a broken cheekbone that season, wore a special helmet thereafter. He had his finest season the next year, when he hit .285 with 26 home runs and 84 RBIs.
In the 1965 World Series, he was the Twins' starting catcher for all seven games. In Game 3, he was injured when he ran into a crossbar while trying to catch a foul pop-up but, despite being able to barely speak or turn his head, he played in the four remaining games. Understandably, he did not hit well, going 3 for 25 with 1 triple and 2 RBIs.
Battey died of cancer at age 68.
Notable Achievements[edit]
- 4-time AL All-Star (1962, 1963, 1965 & 1966)
- 3-time AL Gold Glove Winner (1960-1962)

Richard Gere plays the billionaire owner of an investment firm who is loved by everyone around him; co-workers, family, charity organizers, even the media. But he harbors a dark secret; he's committed fraud with the company money, lost a ton, and now must sell the company before it's found out and he spends the rest of his life in jail. On the eve of his sale, he goes all Ted Kennedy, running away from the scene of a car accident while his girlfriend dies. The rest of the movie is about his attempts to cover up both "indiscretions" before either of them can sink him for good.
It's a pretty conventional plot– white collar crime is nothing new, but it's been all the rage the last few years — and it's handled terribly conventionally. The characters are pretty flat – Laetitia Casta is especially bad as the steretypical rich man's girlfriend who pouts when he refuses to put her art career above his family – and nothing here is terribly interesting. Brit Marling plays Gere's daughter and the company's CFO, and she's absolutely heartbroken to learn that her father isn't quite as fine and upstanding as she thought he was. One wonders; doesn't she watch movies?
I'm amazed at all the attention this film is getting; both Roger Ebert and David Denby (at the New Yorker) put it on their "Top Ten of 2012" lists, and it keeps garnering nominations at critics' festivals, though it hasn't won much yet. I just don't see what all the fuss is about. It's a perfectly functional but utterly forgettable white collar thriller. Nothing more, nothing less.
Verdict: Not Recommended I can imagine watching this on cable some night when you're stuck in a motel room with nothing else to do, and the only other choices are shows about hillbilly taxidermists. That's about the only time I'd recommend it.

I am really impressed with this kettle. I bought it primarily based on its looks, it looks like a much more expensive kettle than it actually is being stainnless steel too. It's rather compact, as is it's base which is 360 degrees, so can fit in on the counter easily and is handy for left or right handed peple.
It feels well made and sturdy, the handle is a comfortable size and easy to hold and pour with. The switch does need a firm press to click it in place to turn it on. It is a little fiddily to get the lid on and off though- the lid handle is a little knob under the main curve handle- so isn't easy to just click off and on. The spout is easy to pour from for me, but as it's short sticking out compared to the rounded body of the kettle, pouring boiled water into certain items can be fiddily when you need to rest the spout on the jug for example. If youve a steady hand youre fine though.
The water indicator is easy to view and understand, and pouring water in and out is easily done if you tip the kettle to get the tap around the handle. We have a mono curved tap- so those with seperate hot/cold taps might not find this a much an issue. It also boils quickly.
The kettle is quiet, the only indication its on is the indicator light which is useful.

A spokeswoman for Amy Winehouse cited "bad reaction to prescribed medication" as the reason for the singer's hospitalization over the weekend.
A spokeswoman for Amy Winehouse has confirmed Tuesday, November 25 that the troubled singer was admitted to a private clinic in London after falling ill on Sunday, November 23. The spokeswoman told AFP her celebrity client was hospitalized after having "a bad reaction to the combination of medication she has currently been prescribed."
The private clinic where Amy has been hospitalized is not named though. It also remains unknown if she is still treated at the facility.
And while Amy's spokeswoman didn't give any further details, a friend of the British songbird told The Daily Mirror, "Amy is on a drug replacement program and has had bad reactions to her medication before. Doctors want to sort out why this happening." At press time, there is still no record on how she's been doing following the hospitalization.
Confirmation on Amy Winehouse's hospitalization comes in the wake of Internet reports claiming her husband Blake Fielder-Civil lost an appeal against his prison sentence for grievous bodily harm. In related news, it has also been claimed that Amy has sensationally admitted her marriage to Blake is over. She reportedly informed the press, "It's over. There's no way back for us now. It was never going to last. We were only together for sex."
There has yet confirmation from Amy's camp regarding the separation report.

According to local media reports in the Brazilian press, Marussia F1 is about to confirm that 2012 GP2 runner-up Luiz Razia is to drive for the team in 2013.
- Home

- Championships
- Forums

Brazil's Luiz Razia could be about to be confirmed as Marussia F1's second driver on Friday, according to reports circulating overnight in the Brazilian media.
The 23-year-old finished in the runners-up position in the 2012 GP2 Series championship while driving for the Arden team, after he was narrowly pipped at the end of the season by Davide Valsecchi who has himself now signed up as an F1 test and development driver with Lotus.
Razia had been reported to be in talks with both Force India and Caterham about a race seat in F1 in 2013, after he had previously spent a year as a test and development driver for the latter team in 2011. In the past, he's also undertaken Young Driver Tests in Abu Dhabi with Toro Rosso and Marussia.
In the end it was the second seat at Marussia that opened up when the team unexpectedly parted company with Timo Glock. The German driver had been expected to stay with the team in 2013 but announced last week that he was leaving for an opportunity in DTM because of financial issues within the team leaving them needing to bring in a driver with more sponsorship backing.
It has been rumoured that Razia has backing to the tune of nearly $30 million to bring to an F1 team, thanks to sponsorship from various Brazilian companies. Now it seems that Razia does indeed fit the bill for Marussia in 2013, with the driver set to be paired with a former GP2 rival as the team have already signed Max Chilton to the other available seat.
Chilton himself drove for the Marussia-associated Carlin team in last year's GP2 season and ended up finishing in fourth place in the championship - putting him behind Valsecchi, Razia and Esteban Gutierrez, who is also F1-bound in 2012 having signed up with Sauber to replace Sergio Perez.
With the top four drivers in the 2012 championship all seemingly F1-bound in 2013, it seems that the feeder series is well and truly earning its reputation as the fast track into the world of Grand Prix racing for its successful competitors.
Although there has yet to be any official confirmation of Razia's move to the F1 paddock in 2013, the Brazilian media reports said that the formal announcement could come as soon as Friday.
However, Razia's management team have denied the story, telling reporters: "There are still some seats available in F1 and negotiations are ongoing. At the moment we have made no decision."
Marussia did confirm on Thursday that they would launch their new MR02 chassis on the morning of Tuesday February 5, in the pit lane at Jerez before the start of next week's four-day test session at the Spanish facility.

I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Duke knows sit and shake and he walks well on a leash with just a little voice command he is willing to walk with you and be by your side. Duke was raised with a family that could no longer keep him, which is really sad because Duke knew no other home.
Unfortunately, Duke lived most of his life outside so, he never really got a chance to be a true part of the family. Duke's NEW home will indeed need to be willing to allow this gentle, goofy, super affectionate boy be a part of the family.
Duke is approximately 5 ½ years old and he weighs about 135lb, Duke has been neutered, micro-chipped and he is current on his vaccines. Duke knows how to use a doggy door and he is crate trained too. Duke is ready for a home and new life.
If you would like to meet Duke please contact Monique and Jake at the following:

As I'm taking these photos, I'm freezing my ass off and I'm about to blow over. It's the first day back at work after the holidays which is why I'm dressed like a schlump. Comfy, comfortable and cozy because I devoured about seventeen black and white cookies over the holiday. Adding a fun necklace always makes me feel more special though, that's the tip of the day. Crappy outfit? Add a fun necklace (and maybe some red lipstick), voila, you look great again.

An improvement over earlier NCL cruise: Norwegian Jewel Cruise Review by texasreb
Overall Member Rating
An improvement over earlier NCL cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: New Orleans
A better ship and crew than in February. Which was the worst. This ship has been spruced up, but still shows its age. Yet it does present itself well.
Cabin steward was not up to the usual. We had trouble communicating in English, and I never knew his nationality. Later in week when we needed something. I would find him in the hall, and show him what we needed.
Dining is where this NCL cruise beat the pants off the last. The MDR Czar's Palace for evening usually had a decent menu. The food was mostly good. Maybe not knockout, but at least edible without complaints. Service friendly but not the same as assigned dining. Noisy at times with tables being cleared for next diners. The one time we ate lunch in MDR service was slow.
We did not do much buffet dining. However there was usually something there to eat. The last night my wife got sick about 4 PM. So I dragged out going to MDR. Around 8 PM it was clear she was going More nowhere. Just by chance I went to buffet. It was Deutscher Nacht. This was great. A lot of German dishes including deserts. Sauerbraten, blaukraut, knack and bratwurst, dumplings, a fine apple strudel, on and on.
The entertainers were good. Lots of bands and music groups aboard. The stage shows were.... what to expect on ship. I can't fault the performers, but live music at all the productions would have been nice.
We had an outside room with window. Bathroom was super small, usually small. I have photos if you need them. The biggest bummer ! We can't sit or move in that bathroom !
Public rooms seemed a bit neglected at times. Not kept spic and span as on other ships. Less
Published 12/26/13
Cabin review: 4550
Smallest bathroom I have encountered on a cruise ship. Problem is a pipe chase at rear of bathroom, and near hallway. They took space out of this room to accommodate the pipe chase. Toilet area was barely 20 inches. The wife at 5 10 had to sit with knees out of door. Worse for me at 6 1. Really cramped space.On debarkation I went to other floors and cabins for comparisons. I was told by ship staff to do so. I took photos.4550 is definitely a small toilet area.
