This is a rush transcript from "FOX News Watch," October 31, 2009. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
JON SCOTT, HOST: On "Fox News Watch": It's been one year since Barack Obama was elected. The press was cheering then. But are they cheering now? With a shortage of major accomplishments, has the sparkle gone?
Two big wins this week for the GOP. Voters tossed out the old and welcomed the new. But did the media use the news to target the winning party?
Karzai retains his role in Afghanistan, but still no decision from our president on his plan for our troops in that region. Are the news media interested?
In the war on religion, a top church leader fires a shot at The New York Times. And could the chilly relationship between the White House and FOX News be warming?
On the panel this week, Kirsten Powers, FOX News analyst and New York Post columnist, conservative columnist and author S.E. Cupp, Jim Pinkerton, fellow, New America Foundation, and Newsday columnist Ellis Henican. I'm Jon Scott. "Fox News Watch" is on right now.
CONAN, O'BRIEN, "TONIGHT" SHOW HOST: A year ago today, Barack Obama was elected president. It's been a year.
O'BRIEN: It's been a year. Can you believe that? Yes. A lot's happened. Yes, in one short year, Obama's slogan has gone from, "Yes, we can" to, "Wow, this is freaking hard."
SCOTT: It's been a year since Barack Obama was elected president of the United States. But jokes aside, what's the serious media think of Mr. Obama one year later? Do the headlines foreshadow an end to the honeymoon?
Take a look at what's appeared of late. From The New York Times, "No walk in the park for Obama one year later. It's the slog of governance." From the Web site Politico, "Change has come, or has it?" And from CNN, "Months into Obama's presidency, promise of change is a slow go."
All right, Jim, the late night comics, obviously, are having a lot of fun with it, but what about the mainstream media? Are they still in awe of this president?
JIM PINKERTON, FELLOW, NEW AMERICAN FOUNDATION: I don't know they're in awe anymore. I think that they are still glad that he defeated McCain and they look forward to voting for him in 2012. But I think that the media narrative, if you will, is that Obama's a good guy, but the right wing is just so powerful, so mean, so hateful, so Michele Bachmann-ized that this poor fellow, Obama, is having a very hard time, which plays to what liberalism really thinks about most, which is victimology. Obama's a victim, and so, frankly, is the mainstream media.
SCOTT: Is the narrative going to change, Ellis, with the new unemployment numbers we got yesterday, 10.2 percent?
ELLIS HENICAN, NEWSDAY: Well, no, that's just a little more of the same (INAUDIBLE) It's inevitable that the poetry of politics gives way to the prose of government. This stuff is hard, especially if you're taking on health care, a couple of wars and about 60 other things. It is just absolutely inevitable that it ain't quite as much fun anymore.
SCOTT: And speeches have been his favorite way to approach the problems that he has had. You know, you got a problem, give a speech. But that doesn't seem to be working so much.
KIRSTEN POWERS, COLUMNIST: Well, I mean, what goes up must come down, and that's always the case with the media, too, so you could have predicted — I frankly think no matter what happened, they were at some point going become critical of him, and I think that they — I would say during this period that they've actually been pretty dead on. And if you look at the coverage, I just don't see the coverage that Jim's talking about. I think for the most part, they've said, you know, that Obama is having a hard time, that it's a difficult environment, and that's the fact.
SCOTT: S.E., what about, you know, a couple of the big decisions that this president has promised? Closing Gitmo doesn't seem to be as easy as he thought it was going to be, and we still don't have this Afghanistan policy.
S.E. CUPP, CONSERVATIVE COLUMNIST: Right, not to mention ending "Don't ask, don't tell," military tribunals going — going in the garbage.
SCOTT: And is the press pressing for answers on those things?
CUPP: I think the press is largely — you saw with that New York Times piece, CNN piece, as well. The mantra they're going with is, Well, the change is coming, but it's a little slow. I think that's a little sanguine, frankly. The change has come. It's come in huge and sweeping ways. I mean, the expansion of government, the dismantling of the CIA — I think these are huge changes that most people in the mainstream press are a little reluctant talk about.
PINKERTON: To me, the big story, though, is the swine flu vaccine. As Ann Geracimos at The Washington Times pointed out, they were claiming they'd have 160 million doses. They've actually got about 25 million. That's an 85 percent shortfall. It shouldn't just be The Washington Times raising that as an issue of gross governmental malpractice.
ELLIS HENICAN, NEWSDAY COLUMNIST: But you know, I'm confused here. There's either too much change or not enough change. One thing we know about, those of us in the media. We may love you, but we're not going love you forever. And the short attention span is getting even shorter, and so these things flip (ph) more quickly than they ever have. And that's what you've seen, I think.
SCOTT: What about the health care debate and the tea party coverage? Did that change the way that President Obama is viewed by the media?
POWERS: Oh, I don't know if it's changed the way that he's — he's viewed by the media, but winning tends to move people — tends to move the media with you. And so the fact that he's been up against this headwind with health care I think has made people sort of take a step back and look at it — and look at him critically. I think on the tea party issue, the rest of the media outside of the conservative media totally missed the story. I mean, they really — I think it was really downplayed, and I'll even count myself as one of those people that really saw it as sort of a fringe thing and didn't really pay attention to it as something — as a real movement that's bubbling up and...
SCOTT: Well, and it's still portrayed that way...
POWERS: Yes.
SCOTT: ... in the press, don't you think?
POWERS: And I think it is actually having some influence. You know, it remains to be seen how great the influence is, but it's a real — it's a real phenomenon.
PINKERTON: We shouldn't let the week go by without taking note of the most important media event of all, which was the TV show "V"...
PINKERTON: ... on ABC, with this smooth-talking, multi-racial person coming from outer space to give us all free health care. And you have to keep watching to discover what he's really like.
SCOTT: On that note, we're going to take a break. But first: We have a lot of extras available to you on the Web site, including some of the discussions that erupt in here during our break. You can hear them after the show at foxnews.com/foxnewswatch.
We're back in two minutes to talk about Tuesday night's election results and how they were covered.
An off-year election delivers big wins for the GOP, and a chance for the mainstream media to pull apart the party. And could the icy White House be warming to FOX News? Details next on "News Watch."
SCOTT: Too big wins for Republicans in two states that Barack Obama carried last year, governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey drew national attention from the media, but many in the mainstream media used the election results as an opportunity to try to drive a wedge in the Republican Party with talk of a civil war among conservatives.
Why did these races get so much coverage, Jim? I mean, off-year elections normally don't bring that kind of attention from the press.
PINKERTON: Well, I think that even reporters who like Obama have to acknowledge that the parallels between 2009 and 1993 are just so overwhelming. And of course, '93 led to the big '94 takeover of the Republicans in the Congress. And again, I think, must as they hate to admit it, we're seeing history repeat itself.
SCOTT: Ellis, I know you're on Twitter. There was an interesting tweet from Mike Murphy, who was a guest on MSNBC, sent out a tweet on Tuesday night, MSNBC even more unwatchable than usual tonight.
SCOTT: Mistake to ever let Olbermann host election night. The mega- crazy gets in the way.
HENICAN: Right. And recently, Mike was on the NBC payroll. I'm just happy to see someone else does things that are reckless...
HENICAN: Both analyses are legit, I mean, the one Jim just gave on the governor's race and then the one about the fight inside the Republican Party. But let's remember, from the media point of view, we need to recognize that both of them are self-interested analyses designed to promote a particular point of view. Let's be skeptical of both of them.
SCOTT: S.E., what about the take that the media had on this civil war among conservatives? It seemed that once the two governors in New Jersey and Pennsylvania — I'm sorry, New Jersey and Virginia were going to be going Republican, they focused their attention on the fact that the Republicans have huge intra-party squabbles that are going to cause all kinds of problems down the road.
CUPP: That New York 23 race was very convenient, once it looked like New Jersey and Virginia were going to go Republican. And that was surprising. I mean, like you said, these are states that Obama carried. They're states that go Democrat, and Obama campaigned heavily for both of them. Very convenient to focus on 23, and sort of the drama the reality show drama of Scozzafava leaving and backing the Democrat and this, you know, interesting young, you know, new conservative face, Conservative Party.
It was an interesting story, but frankly, I don't see either the conservative race — you know, the New York 23 race or the gubernatorial races having huge implications either way. I think the press made both of those out to be a much bigger deal.
SCOTT: What's your take on it, Kirsten?
POWERS: Well, that's exactly what I was just going to say. I think that you can — the (INAUDIBLE) job of the media to overplay things, you know, and to make things into news. It wasn't a referendum on Obama, and it was essentially — you know, it was essentially informative, interesting, can tell you a few things — you know, you can look at — what I — I took away from it, look at what the independents are doing. But it's not predictive of what's going to happen in the future. It doesn't — it doesn't really tell you anything definitive.
SCOTT: Jim, do you agree, not a referendum on Obama?
PINKERTON: I think it was a referendum, whether or not Obama chooses to change, like Clinton did, and try to get reelected in '96 after the '94 mid-term or whether he goes the way of, say, Jimmy Carter or David Dinkins, that is a question that, again, historically-minded reporters will — will be chewing on. But certainly, I mean, ask Creigh Deeds whether he thinks that having Obama as president as opposed to John McCain made a difference in his election.
POWERS: But what it told us was what issues people are concerned about, and it told us that the economy is the number one issue. It wasn't health care. It wasn't — I mean, it — you know, granted, and health care's not so much an issue, I guess, at that level, but the economy is what people are really worried about. That's what it told us. I mean, when those states went — you know, went to the other party when George Bush was in power, nobody said it was a referendum on George Bush.
PINKERTON: Of course they did!
HENICAN: Aren't we being suckers, though, if we buy too closely into that storyline? I mean, it's so obviously designed to promote one political view or another. The media — we ought to be taking the jump and say, Well, you know, while Obama might have had a little to do with it, and yes, there is something pretty interesting going on inside the Republican Party between the moderates and the conservatives, but let's don't just swallow that stuff.
PINKERTON: Reporters are supposed to identify and put thing into an historical context. And the fact remains that since the Virginia governor's race has gone the opposite way of the White House for, like, 36 years in a row, that tells you pretty decisively that the voters in Virginia are reacting against who's ever in the White House. This time, it's Obama.
SCOTT: S.E., we are — we heard from Robert Gibbs, the presidential spokesman, on Wednesday. He came out and said, Oh, the president wasn't really paying attention to these returns.
SCOTT: He was watching the HBO documentary...
SCOTT: Now, maybe that's the one thing that could pull him away from — from election returns.
CUPP: The spin job was laughable! I mean, really laughable. I get it. I mean, that's what you have to do in politics. They really had no choice. But Kirsten said two right things. Kirsten said two right things. It's not predictive. Neither of those are predictive, and that's what we need to think about, really. And two, people are thinking about, to quote — to quite Joe Biden, it's a three-letter word, J-O-B-S. People are thinking about jobs right now, and that joblessness number that came out yesterday — I mean, that's a big deal.
SCOTT: And we...
POWERS: The spin job was the exact same spin job that Ari Fleischer did. You know what I mean? It's, like, that's what's so funny...
POWERS: ... Obama White House came up with. It's what every White House says when they lose a race.
HENICAN: Well, shouldn't we be skeptical of that stuff? I mean, this is just a little morality play here. We know the moves already.
SCOTT: Talking about that jobs number, though, Ellis, this administration came out and said, We're going to hold unemployment to 8 percent because we've got this massive stimulus plan. We're looking at 10.2 percent now.
HENICAN: That's right.
SCOTT: Are the media making enough of that?
HENICAN: No. I mean, it's a legitimate story. Obama's got a weasel (ph) on. And you're right, he said some stuff that he now regrets. I mean, that's the way politics works. It's — it's messy, it's sticky. And who heck knows how high it's going to go?
SCOTT: And shouldn't the journalists be doing a lot more...
PINKERTON: ... go back to me and my historical precedents. I was in the Reagan White House during — when unemployment went over 10 percent. And every night, it was Reagan as Hoover. Tip O'Neill said that Reagan was, quote, "evil." And — I mean, and the media were all too happy to agree, and it was just like the next Great Depression, whereas now people are saying, Look, the leading indicators are up, or whatever. They come up with all these little secondary measures to prove an optimistic case.
HENICAN: And you guys said Reagan went to bed early and didn't see the numbers, right?
SCOTT: Is that the White House putting out spin that reporters are picking up on, or is it reporters not doing their job?
PINKERTON: I think it's reporters not wanting to look at the bad side of the Obama presidency.
SCOTT: All right. Time for another break.
But first: If you come across a story that smacks to you of media bias, e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll be back to talk about New York's top Catholic taking on The New York Times, and much more.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: We must never forget, this is not a war of choice, this is a war of necessity.
SCOTT: Has the war of necessity turned into something else? And what's the press saying about this guy? Plus, the war on religion takes another turn when the New York archbishop fires back at The New York Times, all next on "News Watch."
SCOTT: Afghanistan back in the headlines this week after the country's former foreign minister, Abdullah Abdullah, announced over the weekend he was pulling out of the country's scheduled run-off election. That left President Hamid Karzai as the de facto winner, and it raises more questions in the media about our Afghan strategy.
Here are just some of the headlines that caught our eye. From The Los Angeles Times, "Karzai gets a warning from the U.S." From The New Jersey Star Ledger, "Karzai win ramps up pressure on Obama." And from The Washington Post, "Karzai is wild card for U.S. strategy."
What about those headlines, Ellis? Is this signifying that the media are interested in a particular outcome in Afghanistan?
HENICAN: Well, yes, but it's kind of hard to avoid. I mean, this guy's in a mess. The other fellow dropped out. I mean, I hate to get those Vietnam analogies, but I mean, there's some little hints that are popping up. Can't ignore them, I don't think.
SCOTT: After eight years, are the media tired of writing about Afghanistan?
HENICAN: Well, I think the American people would like an answer, don't want it to go on forever. I don't see, honestly, much more than just frustration and a short attention span.
SCOTT: He used the Vietnam word again.
PINKERTON: I got to tell you, it is hard to find a pundit who's not on the U.S. government payroll who thinks that what we're doing in Afghanistan is a good idea and or is going to work out well. It is sort of like Vietnam, and the intelligence, you know, it doesn't think that the Johnson administration or the Nixon administration back then is handling it now, and they don't think Obama's handling it very well right now.
SCOTT: Well, what about it, Kirsten? He announced back in March that he was — he was bringing out the new strategy and it was kind of a final strategy. I mean, it was the be-all, end-all. But now we're back to thinking it all over again. Are the media paying enough attention to, I don't know, this process?
POWERS: Yes, I think they are, and I think there's a lot of question of what — what's taking so long. You know, he — why did he appoint this general and he's not following that strategy. I think the questions have been asked, and I think the answer is that conditions on the ground are different than when he was campaigning. Now, I don't know why he came out and gave that speech if he wasn't ready to follow through on it. But it's a valid question of, Why are we in Afghanistan? And I think they have to figure out whether they want to continue in this direction, or you know, pull the plug.
SCOTT: Well, and S.E., in every war, the enemy has a vote, and the enemy is reading the coverage.
CUPP: Well, sure, and that's why this is so important still. I think it's important that we stay and that we — we at least leave with some kind of victory. It doesn't have to be this big hurrah, but the situation there is wholly untenable, this state of limbo. And the hesitancy on the part of Obama I think is making everyone worried, and I think his loyalists in the mainstream media are now worried about his legacy. So I think that's why they're pushing for some kind of end game.
SCOTT: Here's another story we're following this week. It looks like lawmakers are getting close to strengthening protections for journalists who do not want to reveal their confidential sources. In September, it looked like the White House would block shield legislation, but that all changed recently, according to The New York Times, which reports the Obama administration, leading Senate Democrats and a coalition of news organizations have reached a tentative agreement on legislation.
Do journalists need a shield law like this in the age of terrorism, Ellis?
HENICAN: You bet we do! And it's inevitable, sadly, that politicians on both parties always resist that when they get into office. Yes, we need this one, and we need another one that's a lot stronger, too.
SCOTT: All right. Should we take on face value, Jim, what we're hearing from the Obama administration about this law?
PINKERTON: That they are desperately trying to keep the Pentagon happy on one side and the media happy on the other side. Yes, we should absolutely believe that they are paralyzed about making somebody mad at them.
SCOTT: Let's move on to our next topic. On October 24th, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote about an investigation by the Vatican into women's religious orders in the United States. Here is some of what she wrote. "The church enabled rampant pedophilia, but nuns who live in apartments and do social work with ailing gays — sacrilegious. The pope can wear Serengeti sunglasses and expensive red loafers, but shorter hems for nuns — disgraceful."
Well, those words didn't sit too well with New York archbishop Timothy Dolan. He first tried to send an op-ed piece to The Times, then he fired back on his own blog on the FOX Forum at Maureen Down. Here's some of what he wrote. "In a diatribe that rightly never would have passed muster with the editors had it so criticized an Islamic, Jewish or African-American religious issue, Dowd digs deep into the nativist handbook to use every anti-Catholic caricature possible, from the Inquisition to the Holocaust, condoms, obsession with sex, pedophile priests and oppression of women, all the while slashing Pope Benedict XVI for his shoes."
All right, S.E., what do you make of it?
CUPP: Well, I got — to be perfectly honest, I've spent the last six months researching this topic for a new book, the media's attack on Christianity, and he is just scratching the surface in this. It's not just The New York Times, which regularly skewers both Catholics in sort of the general population and in the church, and the whole of Christianity. It's Newsweek. It's MSNBC. It's The Huffington Post.
Christians have become the new acceptable target, and I'm glad that someone from the church is finally standing up and saying, This is not right, this isn't fair.
SCOTT: What about that, Kirsten?
POWERS: I think that the liberal media tends to — I don't know if I would call it an attack on Christianity. It's more often ignorance. Sometimes it's just snobbiness. They think it's stupid and they look down on it. But then I would say in the conservative media, I often encounter the exact same thing towards Muslims. And so it's — you know, I Just — I feel like it's religion in general, and it just sort of depends on where you're coming from.
SCOTT: All right. We have to take one more break. When we come back, a media mystery.
Who is that with FOX's Major Garrett? Could it be — find out next on "News Watch."
SCOTT: It has been an astounding week in Washington. Maybe you missed this. Those were pigs with wings we saw flying above the White House.
SCOTT: Why? Well, we asked (ph) because a very vocal campaign to try to freeze out FOX News. The president's senior adviser, David Axelrod spoke with our own Major Garrett about the election results on Tuesday.
DAVID AXELROD, SENIOR WHITE HOUSE ADVISER: The New York 23 race was the one race that was really a microcosm of the national debate. The other races in Jersey and in — and in Virginia were really state races, very much focused on state issues. In Jersey it was very much focused on Governor Corzine. But in New York 23, the issues that we're discussing every day in Washington were very much on the ballot.
SCOTT: Jim, just a couple of weeks ago, the White House was talking about denying access to its top people, like David Axelrod, to FOX News. What happened?
PINKERTON: And The Chicago Tribune reporter that they're still chasing after Democratic consultants for going on the air on FOX and threatening them if they go on. But when they really want to get a message across — and FOX had four million viewers, which was 60 percent more than MSNBC and CNN and Headline News put together — I guess they go to FOX, as well.
SCOTT: Is the White House calling you and wondering what you're doing on this program?
POWERS: ... and kiss and make up. No, I mean, I don't have any problems with the White House. They're very helpful to me, and I don't — so it's — I actually — I saw that news story, and it's a little improbable, actually.
HENICAN: They should come on!
POWERS: I mean, I find it very hard to believe.
HENICAN: They should come on. I mean, I'm on all the time. How hard could it be?
SCOTT: All right. And we love having you.
SCOTT: That's a wrap on "News Watch" this week. Thanks to Kirsten, Jim, S.E. and Ellis Henican. I'm Jon Scott. Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next week.

Black Phobia? It's Over.
Does black phobia have a serious impact on your life? It may not seem possible, but after more than a decade working with the most severe fears and phobias we have yet to come across someone with a case of black phobia that couldn't be overcome.
If you are ready to put this behind you once and for all, here's what we offer at CTRN:

- Complete confidentiality and privacy
- Experience with clients in over 70 countries
How Do You Get Started?
We can help you two ways. Our programs are designed to help you do it yourself with the Home Study program or get board-certified help with our one-on-one program:
Home-Study Program: Vanquish Fear & Anxiety
CD's and Workbook $147 or Download for $137
• Get Underway Instantly & Download Now
• Work Privately on Your Own Time
One-on-One 'VIP' Program
Customized Program with your own very Experienced Practitioner
• Board-Certified Practitioner
• Sophisticated Suite of Techniques to Remove Underlying Fear
How CTRN Programs Work
It is all about learning to redirect your unconscious mind, which sounds like a lot but is easier than you may think. Your rational mind knows that your Black Phobia is illogical. But the fear remains because, with even just a thought of black, your subconscious mind triggers fear and other negative emotions.
You have not been able to prevent your feelings of fear because you have not been given the methodology to change your feelings and associations. We are here to teach you on how to use the right techniques to vanquish the fear forever. Are you ready to get started?
- Want to discuss your options? Contact Us Now Contact Us Now >
The Only Real Solution to Your Fear
Unlike other solutions, we don't promise you a cure for your fear. As much as we'd like to wave a magic wand and 'cure' you, it's actually up to you to change how you feel. Quite simply, we are here to hold your hand through this method of self-empowerment.
This system is going to help you overcome anger, sadness, fear and other negative feelings and help you replace those feelings with more positive ones. Why keep living your life with negative emotions when you can easily change them? You can't live your life in fear anymore – it's time to change.
Black Phobia Risk Factors and Triggers
An really disturbing incident from the past, is often (though, not always) the root cause of Black Phobia. In some cases, it appears the brain has produced the fear with no instigation. The key is digging down to the source and replacing negative associations with more positive emotions. Persons that find themselves at greatest risk:
• Individuals who possess tendencies of apprehension
• Ones who are characterized as 'high-strung'
• One who is dealing with adrenal insufficiency
Do any of these describe you? You can see testimonials from individuals who know our our capability to make a difference.
Or, if you prefer, read about us in the media.
Diagnosing Your Phobia
You can take our 2 minute Black Phobia Online Test to establish the enormity of the problem for you, but it's really quite straightforward: The time to act is now, if this phobia is causing negativity in your life.
- Do you become sick at the simple thought of Black?
- Does it automatically initiate sticky hands and a mouth that is made of cotton?
- Does your heart feel like it's going to pound right out of your chest?
- Do your legs feel as if they will give way?
These are just a few examples of symptoms people can experience. Click to find out more about the symptoms of black phobia.
We address the symptoms, but we uncover the source, to eliminate them both. That's why we're here
Prescription Drugs & Medications
To use <pills and medication for Black Phobia> isn't supported in our program because we believe they act as 'camouflage', That said, you should follow your doctor's recommendations and always and seek proper medical advice if you want to change any medication. Meds may seem to help in the short-term by temporarily improving your symptoms, but the problem is that they can never cure the core issue of the fearful patterns of thinking that are the automatic reaction to black and which trigger the intense feelings of fear.
There hasn't been a medication created specifically for treatment of Black Phobia, just general broad-application meds – and with all the undetermined possible side effects, it is difficult to rationalize taking a prescription as the answer.
The good news is with our program, your Black Phobia will be history, without resorting to meds..

No Jeans, No Sound, And Other Lessons From The Network Upfronts
It's my first time covering the network upfronts — those annual gatherings where the industry suits introduce new TV shows to the advertising types they hope will be buying time on them — and I've learned two things about it that are anathema to a public radio reporter: First, you're not allowed to record sound. Second, you can't get away with wearing blue jeans.
Plunging into this economic ecosystem of TV executives and media buyers disabuses a person of any notion that TV programming is about anything other than delivering eyeballs to advertisers. There's much talk here about fractionalized audiences and competition from other media. At the ABC upfront event, Jimmy Kimmel scored one of the week's best lines, cracking, "We're not losing ground to cable. I believe we are gaining ground — on newspapers!"
ABC, by the way, showed one of the more promising comedy lineups so far. (I'm still reeling from the idiotic turbans-are-so-wacky humor of NBC's Outsourced, set at a call center in India.) The alphabet net would like us to believe it's on a roll since the deserved success of Modern Family, and its previews of Better Together, Mr. Sunshine, and Happy Endings all had genuinely laugh-out-loud moments — which is more than I can say for any of the comedy previews I saw at NBC or Fox.
(Although please let the new comedy Running Wilde, from Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz and star Will Arnett, be better than the trailer suggests.)
ABC is clearly banking on one new show in particular — a documentary-style drama called My Generation, about the fortunes of a group of young people who graduated from an Austin, Texas high school 10 years ago. But it was hard to glean any real sense of the show from its superficial Breakfast Club-style preview. (Meet the jock, the wallflower, the punk, the nerd, etc.)
ABC seems positively addicted to the mock-documentary form in the wake of Modern Family's success. It's adopted the same format for Detroit 1-8-7, about homicide detectives in one of the country's saddest cities. (Although ABC prefers to call the economically challenged Motown "transitional.")
Meanwhile, ABC's new Body of Proof, starring Dana Delany as a neurologist turned medical examiner, is, if nothing else, part of an encouraging new trend of broadcast TV shows centering on mature female characters. No doubt thanks in part to the success of The Closer and Damages on basic cable, Body of Proof joins Chase, an NBC offering about a female U.S. Marshal.
On the same network, the midseason drama Harry's Law will feature Kathy Bates in one of the season's most bizarre premises. Here goes: The life of a disaffected patent lawyer is transformed when a suicidal young man falls on her when he jumps off a building. (Both survive.) Not one of NBC's buzziest new programs, but hey — you never know.

The placement has always been good in DCAC. Some of the really great brands are heard to come in each year. The college makes sure to provide great exposure. The opportunities vary from course to course. For instance, for literature, you don't get too many companies coming in for placements. While on the other hand, students from economics and B.com are picked up instantly by many.
I'm not sure of whether my college provides internships or not. But they do provide us with jobs in the third year to be taken up after college. The package is decent. Depends on the field exclusively.
They have a placement cell, Placements have been very good in my year and the good amount of salary is being offered to students who fit the criteria of the company. In my time salary of around 6-7 Lakh per annum was offered to a B.Com Student, now it could be higher also.
No internship is provided by the college how ever at the end of third year companies do come to recruit and offer a handsome salary to the students who fit their criteria.
In my course, no big media companies come for placement but last time for our fresh batch, Zee TV tagged along few of them and paid really well. Many go for the internships and end up working there only. A lot of us study further for specialisation in the specific interested field.
There is an active placement cell that works on regular basis, conducts interviews etc. They offer many internships whose stipends vary from 5000/- to 15000/- depending upon if its full time or after college.
Placements in DCAC are one of the best thing any graduate can dream. It has 100% placements records. Yes exactly 100% not on papers but actually 100%. All of the best companies from their sectors comes to campus placements. Some of them are Bharti Airtel, KPMG, Protivity, EY, IBM and many more. Average Package ranges from 2.5 Lakhs to 4 Lakhs pa with some companies providing additional benefits of fully sponsored post graduation during the job.
B.com doesn't require any internship in the entire course. But an individual is free to do internship during summer or winter breaks or year break through his or her own links. As no internship is included in B.com course so no experience certificate for the same is required.
The opportunity provided are big and lucrative so people interested really benefit a big time from such placement cell out interest in a job is must that is ot just need to sit in an interview and surely a company will pick as so many are available.
Well DCAC has a really great insight towards placement cell and internships companies like pwc google deloitte are a part of the placement.
The placement cell for the final year students is pretty active but lacks course distinctions.Most of the placement offers were open for all courses and there were very few jobs that catered to specific courses.The teachers would help the students in applying to different internships and build contacts.
The college does arrange for few internship interviews but only few. I think the college needs to work on the internship program.
Yes many well reputed company came to our college for jobs and placement. For example:- Genpact, Accenture, 4i soft
No, our college don't provide internship.
The placement cell is doing a good job.Many reknowned companies come offering some great jobs. The average package offered is around 4lacs - 5lacs per annum.Companies like ICICI Prudential ,IBM, Royal Bank Of Scotland and many more.
I haven't tried for any kind of internship yet but yes there are many oppurtunities being offered here. Many companies come here offering different kind of internships. The stipend offered is around 4k-5k.And there is too much to learn from them.

Many people are starting to get into Chinese décor not only on the inside of their home but on the outside as
well. If you are interested in incorporating this type of theme outdoors then you may want to look into chinese
glass wind chimes.
When it comes to fused glass wind chimes you always want to be careful to make sure that you are getting
something that is high quality so that you do not end up with something that breaks just when you are starting to
fall in love with it.
The chinese glass wind chimes are a great addition as long as you are making sure that they are
put together well. If not you will find that they simply fall apart during your first few wind storms and that is
not something you want to face after paying out the money you did for them. So when you are shopping for chinese
glass wind chimes it is important to make sure that you are shopping with a company that is well known for
providing high quality merchandise.
When it comes to finding original chinese glass wind chimes it is best to head to the mall where you have the
best chance at coming across a store that carries a large variety of chinese glass wind chimes. These can be hard
to find at times but if you search the web using your zip code you should be able to find something close enough to
you. If you really live out on the country then you may learn that the closest place is too far away to drive to.
When that happens you can always turn to online stores.
With so many companies putting their products online you will have absolutely no problem finding chinese glass
wind chimes that you like. You can buy them new and have them shipped directly to you or you can go used.
Purchasing chinese glass wind chimes used can sometimes be a great thing if you can trust that it is in good shape.
The used chimes can often times be found in online auctions or online classified ads. No matter where you find them
or if you buy them new or used you will be glad once you finally have the chinese glass wind chimes at your home.
Make sure that you maybe even pick up a couple as gifts since your friends and family will fall in love with them
once they see them.

The culture is fantastic! The company and its employees strive to keep the line of communication open between all branches, offices, and business groups.
The focus of the business is primarily on the software side, so if you're working on any of the other business sectors, be prepared to take a back seat.
Advice to Management
Diversify and focus on your other business groups. The software supports Product Development and vice versa!
flexible schedule, telecommuting, great IT support.
too many products and internal tools are developed.

The work life balance is overall good. Salaries are average and change a lot based on seniority level. Good technological infrastructure.

BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Broward County is under a Hurricane Warning and portions of the County are under a Storm Surge Warning. All areas east of Federal Highway, including the barrier island, are under a mandatory evacuation. County officials began locking bridges into the "down" position at noon today, to assist vehicular traffic.
Municipalities included in the Storm Surge Warning are Fort Lauderdale, Hallandale Beach, Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach and Hollywood. A storm surge of 5-8 feet is expected in these areas.
Irma is now a Category 4 storm, with the arrival of Tropical Storm force winds expected early Saturday morning. Residents are advised to complete their personal preparations today. All loose outdoor objects should be secured or brought indoors.
The weather will worsen throughout the day on Saturday, with the worst conditions from late Saturday evening through Sunday evening. The National Weather Service expects Irma to bring 10-15 inches of rain, with a risk of tornadoes. The first squalls to hit our area will be gusty. Impacts are expected to include structural damage to homes and buildings, total destruction of mobile homes, downed trees, flooding on roadways and in neighborhoods.
"County government and local municipal governments, along with numerous community partners, state and federal partners, are collaborating and coordinating to ensure that all possible protective actions are taken," said Mayor Barbara Sharief, in a morning news conference. "Many resources have been pre-positioned for a swift recovery response, once the storm passes."
Fourteen shelters are open and additional shelters will be opened as needed. As of this morning, there were nearly 5,500 people in shelters with a capacity of more than 12,000.
Four shelters are now at capacity - Pompano Beach High School, Coral Glades High School, Plantation Elementary, and the Millenium/Challenger School pet-friendly shelter.
Everglades High School at 17100 SW 48 Court, Miramar, is now available as an additional pet friendly shelter in Broward County. Residents should bring personal supplies, in addition to a crate or carrier for their pet, food, toys, cat litter and vaccination information. Pet owners will be expected to care for their pets, which will be located in a designated area of the shelter.
Open shelter locations are posted on our website Broward.org/Hurricane.
By order of the Governor, all schools in Florida are closed on Monday, September 11th.
If you believe you qualify for special needs shelter services and are not already registered, you are running out of time, especially if you need transportation to the shelter. If you call 311 before 5PM you will be contacted and picked up for transport by midnight. Please be patient if you experience wait times calling 311. Your call will be answered.
Please DO NOT trim trees and vegetation now. The Broward County Landfill-at the corner of Sheridan Street and U.S. 27 in Pembroke Pines--is open today until 6PM for you to get rid of the vegetative and yard waste, construction and demolition waste and bulk waste you have already accumulated.
For all Waste Management residential and commercial customers, there will be no garbage, recycling, yard waste or bulk collection service after 1PM today, and until further notice.
Watch broward.org/Hurricane for updates on when these facilities will reopen for post-storm clean-up.
FPL outage and restoration information is available by calling 1-800-4-OUTAGE (1-800-468-8243). This phone number may also be used to report a downed power line.
The last flight is expected to depart Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport at 7:45PM tonight. If you are traveling, please check with your airline or cruise line for up to date information. The Airport will be closed on Saturday and Sunday. Port Everglades is closed to inbound ships. Broward County Transit bus service will stop at 1AM Saturday. Paratransit is running a Saturday schedule today and will be closed on Saturday, and until further notice.
The Broward County Emergency Hotline is open 24/7 to answer your questions. Call 3-1-1 or 954-831-4000. The Hotline assisted nearly 7,000 residents yesterday.

I had a really good weekend and survived Mother's Day. Hubby got me a card from all the animals which was very sweet.
This week has started off really well. I decided to pay off the remainder of Capital One #2 this morning. It feels so good to be 2 credit cards lighter. I don't expect JC's financial aid to come through until June so we likely won't make as much progress until then.
I went back to the doctor today for a follicle scan. I have 1 good size and 1 smaller follicle on my left side (the good side) and 1 good size follicle on my right (no tube). I will do one more dose of gonal-f tonight, trigger shot of Ovidrel tomorrow night and insemination Thursday morning.
I am very excited about this!

The hypocrisy of a rich one percenter.
Hip-hop producer Swizz Beatz owes the U.S. government more than $2.7m in unpaid taxes.
According to reports the 34-year-old has had tax liens totaling $2.6million filed against him by the federal government in the U.S.
New York has filed a further tax lien for $98,246.18 in unpaid taxes from 2010, reports TMZ.
Oh the irony, another rich celebrity one percenter who supports Obama's call to tax the rich, while he cheats on paying his fair share.

Posts Tagged 'Wool jackets'
From the Archives: Filson Wool Jacket
Guest Report: Vintage Filson Cruiser Jacket
Editor's note: A month ago, Chris Adamiak, Damn-Yak Dry Goods proprietor, emailed me about a vintage Filson cruiser he spotted on Etsy. He asked for my help in identifying the fabric which is lighter weight than the 24 oz. melton wool used for current model Filson cruisers. I forwarded along some Filson catalog scans speculating that the fabric in question was a discontinued worsted wool serge. Chris purchased the Cruiser and, at my request, wrote up a review for Archival.
In Canada, Filson doesn't have the availability as it does in the States. The distributors are few and far, and when we order online we face massive shipping, duty, and custom fees (due to the weight of Filson's heavy fabric). It makes me so upset reading tales in forums of people finding Tin Cloth Cruisers in Thrift stores for $5. Finding Filson anything, in any store here is a miracle and being 6'5″ makes the search even harder for vintage items.
I have spent countless hours scouring Etsy, Ebay, and many other vintage clothing shops online for decently priced Filson that I can actually wear. Two weeks ago I stumbled upon this late 50's to mid 60's green wool cruiser for $50. The measurements seem to match my Pointer brand chore coat I wear daily. So without hesitation I scooped it up. After my purchase I contacted Lesli, in regard to its fabric, because in the picture on the listing it seemed very light. With a quick reply she sent me a link to a old catalog page (see below) suggesting that it might be worsted serge. However, on that same catalog picture there is no mention of a green worsted serge, only grey, brown, or beige. Then I saw the display tag from AC's Flickr page for a early forestry cloth cruiser. It states that forestry cloth is a green Worsted serge. This made me even more excited. Could it be a rarer piece in my size?
Last week the Etsy Cruiser arrived and taking it out of the package, I was amazed at how "new" it was. It looked like it was only worn maybe one season. I was also surprised at the weight of the jacket. It was not light and flimsy but quite heavy and tough. The tight, diagonal wool twill does not stretch, and has no problem blocking all the light when held up to a bulb. The fit is true Filson. I wear a 44 suit and this is bang on. Although looking at the label there is no size tag, so I cannot be sure of its exact size. The green color is still very pure, with only tiny specks of fading. Also this past week here in Toronto it has been about 9*C (48*F) in the morning and I was surprised at how warm this cruiser is. Along with being very warm , the cruiser still provides plenty of movement and doesn't catch and stay up on my back when reaching above my head. I have never worn a Filson Mackinaw, but I have heard that they are quite heavy and extremely warm. I have a early Woolrich Buffalo plaid mackinaw and you can forget being indoors for any length of time with a coat like that on! That's where the Cruiser coat fits in perfectly. The fabric is thin enough to move from outdoors to indoors, tough enough to trek through thickets and brush, tight enough to ward off light showers and snow, and roomy enough for layering options underneath.
I am not exactly sure if it the jacket is made in forestry cloth or whipcord, as I have never held or seen either up close. But what I do know is that this cruiser is not a standard issue item. Why Filson eliminated this fabric as a standard cruiser option baffles me — they still make shirts out of serge and pants out of whipcord. From what I have been told, they will still make whipcord cruisers in their custom shop for a greater price. Its a great seasonal transition coat, from Summer to Fall and Winter to Spring. This coat will definitely be a new daily driver for me from city to forest. And as much as I really like this coat, the search for these kind of pieces never ever really ends!

Heritage Collections for Women?
Sometimes I think I'm the only woman admiring all the beautiful, Americana inspired sportswear, footwear and accessories featured on blogs like A Continuous Lean and h(y)r collective, etc.
Last Spring 2008, Filson launched their collection for women (a nice effort save for the "peach poplin" blend fabrics and a few unfortunate cut and color choices). Barbour, Carhartt, Beretta and John Partridge all now market outdoor (albeit, activity specific) clothing to women. But beyond this short list (plus a few others, of course), most US and UK heritage brands assume an all male audience for their product lines. Red Wing, a company known for offering shoes and boots in a wide range of sizes, starts sizing for their "Lifestyle Heritage Range" range at 7. Although Red Wing sells smaller sizes to the Japanese market, there are no plans to bring them to the US. Why is the heritage line not being sized to fit a broader market of women and gents with smaller feet? I put the same question to Filson since they have been deflecting requests for footwear for women since the men's line was introduced in the 1990s.
All I'm asking for is modern access to the teenage sportswear department of 1949 Montgomery Ward cataog. Those three pages (shown above) contain everything I need, if ordered in multiples, to get me through to my first retirement check: pinwale corduroy and gabardine shirts, glen plaid slacks, denim dungaries, new wool turtleneck pullovers, a nice pea coat and/or a donegal wool "abbreviated storm jacket." Loafers and jophur boot appear to be the default style of footwear.
You'll note that the Montgomery Ward catalog items do not default to the easy "feminizing" of overt/excessive pleating, hourglass paneling and terrible color selections of some heritage products resized/restyled for women.
Given how trends shake out, reverberation style, I anticipate nods to the heritage movement in the mainstream Gap and JCREW collections for women in the next year. Any speculation on how they might play out on a literal level? What I'm anticipating is the trace appearance of heritage styling, for example, in the form of models wearing alpine climbing boots with red laces, etc.
Archival Bicycles: Vaughn W. Collection
Vaughn W. is my kind of archival collector. I might even have to appoint him as an understudy for the time when my own visual content runs dry. Originally, Vaughn sent me a few photographs of bicycles from his collection ("14 at last count"). Each bicycle is nicely appointed with a default Brooks saddle and a Carradice saddlebag, wire basket or some functional racking system. But Vaughn subsequently distracted me with images and commentary on handmade knives (by an in-the-know master), Stormy Kromer hats, Klepper boats, tube amp stereo equipment, US made galvanized pales and buckets, manual wrist watches, and to boot, stills of a (Filson?) wool cruiser style jacket worn by the Joe Waters characters in episode 45 of The Andy Griffith Show, "The Farmer Takes a wife" (a new source for sartorial screengrabs, I'm certain). More on Vaughn and his guest archive coming soon.
Shopping from Labonville, Inc.
Editor's Note: Friend Tom B. also hails from Eugene, and went to college in rural New Hampshire where he started building timber frame buildings. He seems to be more proud of his Forest Service chainsaw certification than his architecture degree. I've brought him in as a guest blogger to highlight some stylish, alternative, often budget work wear brands and stockists. Tom's first entry deals with Labonville, a manufacturer and retailer of "Logging Supplies and Safety Apparel."
I was introduced to Labonville through the outing club at my college. The college's forestry team was a major patron of the store; they placed massive orders for wool jackets in the school's colors.
Labonville provides perfect material for the logger's wardrobe. Walk into a Filson store and you may feel like you're in a boutique. Visit Labonville and you enter the world of the working logger. The clothing available is affordable, functional and plain. There's less of an obsession with traditional materials, although you will find traditional products such as wool cape coats and Malone wool pants. I'd like to put forth the argument that Labonville—and similar retailers — offer excellent basic garments that complement other showpiece brands like Filson. Cruising the L-Ville site, you can find garments so archetypal, so familiar, that they play like a tired cliché that you must acknowledge is true: pancakes are mighty flat, it is better safe than sorry, and Traditional Dickies Work Pants are very close to being the Perfect Pant.
It's stating the obvious, but the Dickies pant is so cheap, durable, and neutral that it serves as an ideal daily driver. Thousands of delivery drivers, cooks, and painters can't be wrong.
