Fox News & the Irish Americans behind it, are an inconvenient truth to the liberal dominated media

Hannity & O'Reilly |
Since television was first introduced to the US, it was immediately seized upon and dominated by three networks, ABC, CBS and NBC. Television news commentators were invited into every home in America. We knew them as Cronkhite, Rather, Mudd, Couric, Brokaw and dozens of others, all dutifully reading their scripts on our screens. Telling us "all the news we needed to know."
They dominated the information we received, especially when teamed up with the New York Times and CNN.
But then a great entrepreneur by the name of Murdock noticed the unholy alliance that had gripped control of America's information media and decided to throw a bombshell into the middle of it. He introduced Fox News to America.
Although not a broadcast channel with the audience that the 3 entrenched networks had, Fox News propelled itself into huge popularity on cable television. Many say it spearheaded the popularity of cable television.
All of a sudden viewers, many of whom thought they were being read propaganda by the broadcast channels, were able to hear another side of the story. The popularity of Fox News grew like wildfire as people flocked to hear the other side of the story, or as Fox likes to say "Fair and Balanced" coverage of the information.
Names with an Irish twist to them like Hannity, O'Reilly, Kelly, Guilfoyle, Crowley & Buchanan give Fox a crew of talented, fearless, journalists, who don't back down from a fight. In fact they live for the political brawls and relish challenging the status quo.
The addition of Fox & internet news sites to the information medium has caused a revolution in the way news is received and now questioned by the public. CBS news anchor Dan Rather found this out the hard way when he was caught trying to take down George Bush with a false hit piece just prior to the 2008 presidential election. As a result Rather lost his job, CBS suffered a huge black eye and loss of its credibility.
The exposure of Dan Rather's attempt to sway the Presidential election with false and misleading information has shown how vulnerable the public has been for years of having 3 major news networks all with a liberal bias. The Fox presence, along with internet news sites have exposed this bias thousands of times as they cover stories the main stream media chooses to ignore.
The inconvenient truth facing the main stream media today, is that the information they were able to mete out to the American public, is now available to millions unfiltered through Fox and alternative information sources. The main stream media lost its stranglehold.
Imagine the comfort of the Obama administration, if pugnacious Sean Hannity wasn't around to inform us how dire the Libyan embassy situation really is, as well as expose the whole Obama Mideast policy disaster?
Or if Bill O'Reilly wasn't pointing out that our leader has left Washington leaderless. While he plays over a hundred rounds of golf we sank into 16 trillion in debt without a budget for 3 years?
If Megan Kelly wasn't warning us about Obama's justice department's involvement in the Fast and Furious gun running scandal?
Or Pat Buchanan's warning we are losing the battle of civilizations as the Obama administration kow tows to foreign powers, while cutting the legs out from beneath our friends and allies?
Or Kimberly Guilfoyle keeping her cool as left wing nut Leo Terrell, unleashed a tirade of invective as he got caught in her special brand of logic.
Thankfully Fox News is here getting stronger all of the time, countering the dishonesty dished out by the main stream media. Keeping it fair and balanced.

I think Mr. Farnan should learn English if he is going to pass himself off as a journalist. Perhaps he is affiliated with Fox. That would explain it.

The lefties on this thread mob up to attack Fox News and protect the aura of their holey messiah in the whitehouse. I coin it the musk oxen syndrome. Anne Coulter calls it the mob mentality. Either way it is a sort of herd mentality that is easily manipulated by unscrupulous leaders who feed their paranoia.

We are not afraid to say we love Fox News (and in lefty/liberal Massachusetts, you need to know you will be scorned.). Once in a while iI turn over to CNN & MSNBC to see who is ranting and raving over there. I really find Fox News, especially daytime to be immensely fair and balanced. They always have guests who present both sides of an issue. The people who criticize have not really watched it. Yes, at night there is more opinion but not in the daytime "news" hours. They really do not show any bias. I resent that those who just follow the "D" party line (like some of the commenters here ) try to say we Fox watchers are stupid, in my home all four of us have graduate degrees and like to be really informed, not lied to by the network news and the other cable news who lie for Obama and want him re-elected so badly.

The article is a joke. Everyone is well aware that Fox is a lackey of the Republicans. As far as Obama's success in getting legislation passed; Obama tried to work with the Republicans but the Republicans were afraid of the increase in taxes for the filthy rich and have a mandate to cause problems for Obama. They have no concern for the American people who are not very wealthy and only care to line their own pockets. They passed tax laws/regulations that benefit the very rich and don't want to see changes that benefit the 98% who are not very rich. In fact, Romney has stated that he doesn't care about 47% freeloader of the population and he is going to eliminate funding to the Public Broadcasting System which is a free channel for many disadvantaged people who cannot afford cable television. Another shining example of his war on the poor. He is supposed to be a member of a church that cares about the disadvantaged, but his actions do not demonstrate that. The defeat of the budget proposals were due to the added Republican amendments. The Republicans don't care because the upper echelon is rich enough that the economic woes of the USA don't significantly affect them and they will get enough money from the lobbyists and like ilk that pay for favors.

Were you aware Obamas budget proposals were defeated 98-0 in the Senate? & almost the same ratio in congress. Now why is that? Because Obama is a mathematics retard & even the crooked politicians in DC know his budget is an outrageous slap in the face to economics/logic. So if you think Obama is an economic messiah who is going to lead the US out of it's economic wasteland...You are delusional

Monsoonman... The number one problem facing the middle class is that the American economy is broke.The real question is historically which party has run the government in a fiscally responsible manner and which has not. Instead of listening to false Fox rhetoric here are the factual stats as reported in Forbes in May: Reagan ('82-85) 8.7% Reagan('86-89) 4.9% Bush 1 ('86-89)4.9% Clinton ('94-97) 3.2% Clinton ('98-01) 3.9% Bush 2 ('02-05) 7.3% Bush 2 ('06-09) 8.1% and finally Obama ('10-13) 1.4% Forbes 5/4/2012 Data from OMB,CBO & Haver Analytics.

As not residing in the USA I am not in any position to imply I know very much on the dailly stuff that afect yous. But I am very curious as to how many people in the USA appear to be either inocently ignorant or just complacent when filing their tax returns. I come at this from an angle of interest in just how well informed the American public are on such matters via all these many media outlets.

Does anyone know if Harris has responded to this critique?
]]>When we claim that something is right or wrong, or good or bad, then science (and atheism) is doing the same thing that religion does. We are claiming that we are something more than just animals living amongst other animals on this planet.
We can like or dislike something, but we can't say it has something to do with morality.
We like bananas. Well, chimps like bananas too.
We don't like getting beat up. Old alpha male gorillas don't like getting beat up by young alpha males either.
We have determined that violence is wrong within the human species, but when we see chimps beating on chimps from other tribes, we say, 'That's just nature. It is what it is.'
We say that we are better than the animals in nature, but let's invent a new species that is so much more intelligent than humans, to the point where they look at us in the same way we look at chimps in the wild. When we kill, steal, cheat, dance, sing… whatever we do, that intelligent species will ask, 'Why do these humans do such things?'
The most learned of that species will answer, "That's just nature. It is what it is."
Imagine that you are enjoying your last nap of the summer, perhaps outside in a hammock somewhere, and are awakened by an unfamiliar sound. You open your eyes to the sight of a large bear charging at you across the lawn. It should be easy enough to understand that you have a problem. If we swap this bear for a large man holding a butcher knife, the problem changes in a few interesting ways, but the sudden appearance of free will in the brain of your attacker is not among them.
Should you survive this ordeal, your subsequent experience is liable to depend—far too much, in my view—on the species of your attacker. Imagine the difference between seeing the man who almost killed you on the witness stand and seeing the bear romping at the zoo. If you are like many victims, you might be overcome in the first instance by feelings of rage and hatred so intense as to constitute a further trauma. You might spend years fantasizing about the man's death. But it seems certain that your experience at the zoo would be altogether different. You might even bring friends and family just for the fun of it: "That's the beast that almost killed me!" Which state of mind would you prefer—seething hatred or triumphant feelings of good luck and amazement? The conviction that a human assailant could have done otherwise, while a bear could not, would seem to account for much of the difference.
"The conviction that a human assailant could have done otherwise, while a bear could not, would seem to account for much of the difference."
Maybe there is some truth to this. But I suggest that the difference in how we feel could be down to the fact that 'moral evil' doesn't exist in the bear.
Whether or not free will is real, may change our precise view of 'moral evil', but it certainly exists in some way in humans, whereas it doesn't exist in bears. e.g. a human assailant can be cruel, wanting to make others suffer. A bear can't have that kind of intention.
Will we really not "hate" if we give up the idea of free will? Would we not still react against the moral wickedness of some people?
Is it healthy to think that such moral wickedness could be deterministically produced out of a meaningless universe? An atheist universe produces such 'moral evil' as the desire to torture others for pleasure… is there not something terrible about that picture of reality?
Please note: obviously this kind of issue is something distinct to the issue of whether free will is an illusion or not. You can't disprove a position by saying that it has bad consequences.
I am looking for some commentary on why my criticism of Harris' claim is incorrect. Ive tried to make it on ontologically objective grounds.
Please see the short article on my website;
Erich Fromm described in his book, "The Heart of Man" the concept of narcissism from a psychological point of view. Most of the ideas here have been taken from his volume and are in no way meant to be exhaustive of Fromm's thesis. Fromm focuses on both individual and group narcissism. He extends Freud's view and definition, which was tied purely to the libido. Fromm believed that the concept begins with the primary narcissism of the infant, which is only aware of itself (the ego I) and then gradually, as it becomes aware of its source of survival, extends that sense of self to the mother, then to the father, family etc., It even includes inanimate objects that it is attached to, i.e. my toys, my car, my house etc. Nationalism, ethnocentrism and religious affiliation are the next jump with the larger concept of group narcissism extending out from the family. This extension of self continues until the individual's sense of self (me and mine) reaches a stopping point. Duality occurs at that point where the individual's capacity or inability to identify and extend that sense of self, stops. For Fromm, the very mature individual with a great capacity for identification would extend that sense of self to the whole human race. With the saint for example, the concept of self is extended to all of existence. We can easily see where many individuals stop that identification. Xenophobia is perhaps the most obvious example.
Fromm readily admits to the biological necessity of narcissism from the survival point of view. Saints have a relatively limited survival record on the planet and the need for a "them and us" mechanism, helped Homo sapiens dominate the planet. However, the survival of the fittest trait was not limited to strength, cunning or power. Research shows that cooperation and the capacity for language may have been just as important, if not more important factors, for the survival of Homo sapiens over Neanderthals in the primitive world. Those factors, which contributed to the identification with the group, were and are evolutionary advantages.
We all possess some degree of narcissism and it can be likened to a continuum for the capacity for empathy. The lower the capacity for empathy the greater the narcissism. On the lowest end we have the psychopath with no capacity to feel empathy, to the saint who seems to have the ability to be completely empathetic. The rest of us exist somewhere on that continuum depending on our conditioning, genetic makeup etc.
Sam Harris' view of the concept of moral values and the roll science can play in investigating methods of enhancing the overall "well being" of the planet, appears to be in line with Fromm's ideas about the evolution of the ego regarding the concept of a primarily narcissistic self and the growth of that self through different stages of development. In the "Moral Landscape" Harris convincingly points to the scientific developments that definitely can help us understand what the impediments are to that growth and point us in the direction of positive development.

BOZEMAN - Dozens of picketers gathered on the sidewalk outside Bozeman Deaconess Hospital today in cold and windy conditions early in the morning, along with the support of community members and other unions.
Nurse Kristen Mollett says they had the support of "bus drivers and carpenters and fireman and all kinds of patients, actually some of our patients I've seen. So it's awesome."
The nurses are out on the sidewalk asking for community support, as negotiations with the hospital continue.
"We're just trying to draw attention to our contract negotiations and some of the issues we feel are really important out here," said nurse James Fredrickson.
When asked about the picketing Chief Nurse Vickie Groeneweg with the hospital says, "We are fine with it because nurses have the right to have their voices heard."
"We want to correct some of the inequalities that are existing right now and have been for quite some time," says nurse Kristen Mollett. Nurse Lynn Gray agrees, adding, "We just want to see some more respect for our profession, because we come to work and we take care of patients, and it's not about us, it's about the patients."
Hospital patient John Heilman was also out supporting the nurses.
"It's up to other people, individuals like me and other organizations to come out," Heilman said.
Despite the fact of the number of people outside picketing, many may not know there's actually no change to operations inside the hospital, that's because everyone outside is out on their own free time which leads to business as usual inside the hospital.
"We have a full complement of staff, we have a full hospital, a full emergency department and they can come expecting the same level of care our nurses have always given," says Groeneweg.
The support for these nurses, extends even beyond our corner in Montana.
"We're here telling this community that Washington State is here, with them too," says Julia Weinberg with the Washington Nurses Association.
"I think the community is definitely behind us. It's not about that. We just need the administration to see that it shouldn't have had to come to this," says Grey.
More talks are scheduled for later this week.
"I think that both sides are motivated by the fact that they want to reach an agreement so that will keep us coming back to the table with proposals until we can come together on something," Groeneweg said.
"We believe that we can get some positive changes out of all of this," Fredrickson said.
Negotiations between the hospital and the nurses will continue tomorrow and Thursday.

The University of Miami School of Law Externship Program ("Externship Program") provides second-year (2L), third-year (3L) and domestic LL.M. students an opportunity to gain practical legal experience by working with local, national, and international corporations, government agencies, public interest organizations and the judiciary for academic credit. Students gain practical legal experience by working under the supervision of lawyers, which is supplemented and enhanced by a corresponding academic course. Please note that law firms, of any size, including solo practitioners, do not qualify as an externship placement for the Externship Program.
To qualify for the Externship Program, a placement must provide the student:
Please note that students receive academic credit for their work at the field placements. As such, students are not eligible to receive any compensation from externship employers or from any other sources including stipends or fellowships. Click here to see requirements for an organization to qualify for an externship placement.
In order for a student to participate in and receive academic credit for his/her participation in the Externship Program:
All externship placements are subject to the approval of the Miami Law Externship Program Committee.
For the spring 2014 semester, students are required to work at least 120 hours for 3 academic credits or at least 240 hours for 6 academic credits (in addition to completing the Externship Program Course). The first day of the spring 2014 semester is January 15, 2014, and students will be required to complete the required work hours by April 23, 2014.
How does a student secure an externship placement?
A student may apply to a pre-vetted externship placement through the Career Development Office ("CDO") or secure his/her own legal internship and request for it to be converted into an externship placement upon the Externship Program Committee's review and approval. If a student secures his/her own placement, it is the student's responsibility to discuss the work hour requirements with the employer. Please note that there is no guarantee that a student will receive an offer from a pre-vetted externship placement or that a student's self-secured internship will be approved as an externship. The CDO's goal is to provide students with as many opportunities as possible.
How do I participate in the Externship Program through the CDO?
To participate in the Externship Program, a student must complete the bidding process on Symplicity, a World Wide Web based program available at law-miami-csm.symplicity.com/students. "Bidding" entails submitting a resume and other requested materials via Symplicity. Instructions on how to bid on the Symplicity system are provided in the Student Guide to Symplicity. All students have a Symplicity account. If a student cannot locate his/her Symplicity login information, the student should e-mail email@example.com and provide his/her full name, class year and e-mail address (this e-mail address will be the student's username for the site). The student will then receive his/her login information via e-mail. Please allow up to two business days for a response.
Bidding for the Spring 2014 Externship Program will be launched in mid-October 2013.
Students will be notified about the formal launch of each session of the Spring 2014 Externship Program via e-mail (the e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address attached to the student's Symplicity account). Students will then be able to bid on pre-vetted participating externship opportunities by logging onto Symplicity and selecting "OCI, Resume Referral, Direct Contact and Externship Program Schedules" from the top navigation bar. A student will then be able to see a list of employers participating in the active Spring 2014 Externship Program session(s) by selecting the appropriate session from the drop-box menu, (externship placements will be specifically identified as such). Please note that Symplicity only allows a student to view and bid on employers seeking applications from his/her class year.
How do I submit a self-secured placement to the Externship Program Committee for approval?
All externship placements are subject to the Externship Program Committee's approval. If a student has secured his/her own legal internship and would like to submit it for approval, the student will be required to follow the steps on the CDO Fact Sheet: Would an Internship Secured For Myself Qualify as an Externship Placement? The deadline to submit a self-secured internship to the Externship Program Committee for approval is Thursday, January 2, 2014. A student will be required to submit his/her contact information along with the placement's contact information, including his/her supervising attorney's direct contact information. The student's supervising attorney may be contacted directly for more information. This information will be considered by the Externship Program Committee. The Externship Program Committee will inform the student of its decision as soon as it is made via e-mail.
I have been offered an externship placement. Do I have to accept the position?
No; just as a student is not guaranteed he/she will be offered an externship position, an employer is not guaranteed that a student-applicant will accept a position when it is offered. If a student-applicant chooses not to accept an offer, the student must decline the offer in a professional manner, including calling the externship employer to decline the offer. Additionally, a student must decline an offer in a timely manner to give the externship employer and other students an opportunity to fill the placement.
I have accepted a placement. What do I do next to register for the course?
To be registered for the Externship Program Course, a student must first submit a complete Spring 2014 Student-Agency Agreement to the CDO. The CDO verifies a student's placement with the receipt of a fully executed Student-Agency Agreement. A Student-Agency Agreement is an agreement between the student, externship employer, and the law school that states the terms of the externship relationship. A fully executed Student-Agency Agreement is due to the CDO on or before Monday, January 13, 2014.
I submitted my Student-Agency Agreement on time. How will I be registered for the Externship Program Course?
Upon receiving and processing a complete Student-Agency Agreement for an approved externship placement, the CDO will notify the student about which section of the Externship Program (Law881, 873 or 845) that the student has been assigned to. In addition, the CDO will provide the student with an unique pin number provided by the Registrar Office (the pin number is specific to the student). The student will then be able to enroll him/herself to his/her assigned section of the Externship Program by entering the unique pin number via his/her CaneLink account.
I am registered for the Externship Program Course. What do I have to do to receive a pass?
An essential component of the Externship Program is the work that a student completes at his/her field placement. As such, the feedback from an extern's supervising attorney to the student's externship professor as to his/her performance and progress (i.e., professionalism, attitude, work product, attire etc.) will play a major role in a student's ability to pass the Externship Program Course. Additionally, the student will have to submit a Time Certification Form to his/her externship professor, verifying that the student has completed the required work hours for his/her elected credit amount. A student must complete the required hours to pass this course. The student must also attend and satisfy the requirements of the academic course attached to his/her specific section.
For the Spring 2014 semester, each section of the externship program (Law881, Law845 and Law873) is scheduled to meet as follows:
Law873 - Transactional-Based Externships will meet on Thursdays from 7:30 pm to 8:20 pm on the Miami Law campus.
Law881 - Litigation/Policy-Based Externships will meet on Mondays from 5:30 pm to 6:20 pm on the Miami Law campus.
Law845 - Judicial-Based Externships will meet on biweekly Fridays from 12:30 pm to 1:20 pm at the Wilkie D. Ferguson Federal Courthouse.
*This is a tentative schedule; these dates and times are subject to change.
A student will be enrolled for one of the above-referenced sections pursuant to his/her field placement.

I previewed one of the most exquisite Chanel collections I have ever laid eyes on at the Fall 09 trunk show yesterday. It was an elaborate celebration of culture, art and fashion-- one that only the Kaiser (and the Mademoiselle herself) could have executed so perfectly. The Paris-Moscow collection is a collector's dream-- many pieces are by custom order only (three month delivery) which make them even more collectable. Glittering jewels, exaggerated pearl/beaded belts, embellished leather motorcycle jackets, embroidered cashmere coats, ornate dresses, handpainted and laser cut leather bags, matryoshka doll minaudieres-- everything was fit for a Tsarina! The Paris-Moscow collection will be one remembered as the moment Chanel brought luxury back!

Mutual funds and ETFs
Open-end mutual fund redemptions Understanding the mechanics of an open end mutual fund a bit better
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- Let's continue with the story of
- Pete's mutual fund.
- The year goes by,
- and then even after paying Pete the 1%,
- so we had $500 of assets under management
- this whole assets under management
- a year later goes to,
- let's say it goes to, like I mention at the end of the last video,
- $1,000, so Pete either is really good, or really lucky,
- or a little bit of both.
- So now it is at $1,000,
- and it still has the same five investors here,
- and I am lucky enough to be one of them.
- So here are the five investors,
- let me draw the shares, so there is one,
- two, three,
- four, five shares.
- Now, each of these shares,
- well the $1,000 is called the NAV,
- or the net asset value,
- let me give you that piece of terminology,
- it just means net asset value.
- So there is an NAV per share,
- the NAV per share over here is $200,
- I just took the total NAV and I divided it by the shares.
- And what's special about an open ended mutual fund
- is that the close, or end of every day,
- either new shares can be removed from the fund,
- or be created before the fund.
- So, in the first video,
- I showed how I wanted to buy into the fund,
- so I bought a share, and that increased the NAV,
- and it also increased the number of shares,
- he had to create a share for me to buy,
- he didn't sell me a share that already existed,
- so you can imagine after this type of performance
- more people would want to buy shares,
- so now they would have buy in,
- to make things fair,
- at $200 per share
- because that's the current NAV per share,
- so lets say that five more people want to buy in at
- $200 per share,
- so what Pete would do, or what this mutual fund,
- its not Pete really, its the corporation,
- it would creat five new shares.
- So, one, two,
- three, four, five, if there was only one person that day
- it would create one share that day,
- if there were ten people that day,
- it would create ten shares that day,
- and it can keep doing this,
- and the NAV of each of these are
- $200.
- So it gives these shares to each of these people,
- and they have to contribute $200,
- so essentially,
- it puts another $1,000 into the pool, that Pete can now manage,
- and so now the total NAV for the fund is $2,000 now
- and Pete will get his 1% management fee
- off of this entire $2,000.
- Now, lets say we fast forward a little bit,
- we fast forward a little bit to,
- lets say Pete starts having a not so good year,
- so lets say we fast forward a year past that,
- and Pete has a negative 10% return.
- So if you started at $2,000,
- and that's when you include taking his management fee out,
- you started at $2,000,
- you lose 10% in one year,
- so it goes down to $1,800.
- Let me put this in a new color,
- so now he's at $1,800.
- It's not completely drawn to scale,
- but hopefully you will get the idea.
- So now he is at $1,800,
- $1800, but you still have a total of ten shares,
- you still have a total of ten shares,
- let me draw,
- or let me do my best to draw, the ten shares.
- One, two, three,
- four, five, six,
- seven, eight, nine, ten.
- These should be at equal size,
- and now the NAV per share is going to be
- $1,800 divided by 10,
- or $180.
- And lets say, that I get a little freaked out,
- by this recent performance,
- and I have some other commitments with my money,
- so I say,
- Pete,
- you need to buy my one share back from me,
- so what Pete does,
- is he would give me back $180,
- so the total NAV would lose $180,
- so it would go down $180,
- so we would take this out of it,
- $1,800-$180 is $1,620,
- and they would buy back a share from me.
- So they would cancel one of the shares, but notice,
- the NAV per share does not change,
- by me redeeming my share,
- it does not change what happens to everyone else,
- now you have $1,620, divided by
- nine shares,
- that should still get you $180 per share,
- if I did my math right,
- so $1,800 minus $180 gets you $1,620,
- it should still be $180 per share,
- but this is the nature of an open ended fund,
- you can keep creating shares and selling them to the public
- to raise more money,
- or when someone wants their money back,
- you essentially buy the share back from them,
- give them their money,
- when you buy it back, and you remove that share.
- So an open ended fund,
- really at the close of every trading day,
- can keep growing or shrinking,
- it can keep adding more and more investors,
- or their investors can take their money back.
- What's difficult about this,
- from the fund manager's point of view,
- is that they have to manage this,
- they have to manage this constant buying and selling with the public,
- they have to manage the paper work,
- and if you think about it,
- they can't have all of their money invested,
- in relatively illiquid assets,
- or even in regular stocks,
- they have to keep some amount of their money,
- and it is usually 3 to 5%,
- they have to keep some of this $2,000,
- they have to keep some of it in cash.
- and from an investor's point of view,
- they would say,
- well if I'm good at investing, I should try to minimize
- the amount of cash that I have,
- because I am not getting a return on cash,
- but because it is open ended,
- because investors might come by and say,
- hey, I want my money,
- you have to have a little amount of cash on hand
- as part of the asset pool,

This will hit centre
11:10am Tuesday 28th February 2012 in Letters
HOW can City of York Council justify giving planning permission for the proposed Monk's Cross extension? It is obviously going to take trade away from existing shops. The net number of new jobs produced will be negligible, and look what happened to Sheffield city centre when Meadowhall was built.
As far as I can see, the only reason it is being considered at all is to support York City.
I understand that a good gate for York City at Bootham Crescent is about 2,500, which represents less than two in 100 of York's population. The number of paying customers is likely to be even smaller if its ground is moved out of the centre. How can it possibly balance its books? I would be most interested to see a business plan.
I don't want my hard-earned money being used to prop up a failing business: a club that is losing money now and is likely to require subsidising by council tax payers for ever more.

Oh boy please dont flame me This is simply my opinion
I was on and off the fence about getting the game, but since my family gave me a gift card for it, and due to how much my father would enjoy watching, (hopefully playing some too!) I decided to pre-order it. I played through the story mode one and a half times today So heres my opinions:
I like the Beatles, but Im certainly not as big of a fan as many of the people I read on this forum, and I am disappointed with the song selection Honestly, many songs I never heard of, and after playing them, I can see why I never heard of them. (Boys?) For such a great band, and with their amazing repertoire of songs, couldnt they have weeded out some of the side B songs and brought some more of the A-list songs?
On the Positive side: I love the new vocal additions! I like being able to switch from lead to a harmony, since Im new to singing harmonies Already, I can see improvement in my harmonic singing! Woohoo! Singing harmonies in Ticket to Ride was just one of the points where I got shivers in a good way.
I agree with some that the background colors make it hard to read the notes sometimes, but for me, the colors and the very clever video are worth it! Try playing with the lights off, and just the TV going I really got into it, and it was quite an experience!
The background info, videos and pictures are great Also, the recording snippits that play while a song is loading really are priceless! They provide a behind the scenes type of look at this legendary band!
Im very disappointed in the lack of drum fills I know most of you didnt care about that, but I enjoy the creative freedom of the fills, and I practice so that my fills dont sound like somebody just hitting the drums as fast as they can lol
On the other hand, in regards to the drums: Jimmy Falon said on his late night show (jokingly), the new Beatles Rock Band will have 3 difficulty levels Hard, Medium, and Ringo. However, I was pleasantly surprised There are about 1/3 of the songs that I had to switch down to hard from expert on the drums, while playing through the story mode for the first time. Im happy to report that Im enjoying playing his style much more than I thought I would! [B]Yeah!![/B ]
So, although I was on the fence, overall, Im happy I bought the game Disappointed with some of the songs, and the lack of fills, but I really am enjoying the overall Beatles Experience, and am really looking forward to next Saturday, when I have my extended family over for a Beatles Rock Band Night! We have some real singers in our family, and I am anticipating some good harmonizing!

A 1950's pick up Chevrolet and an earlier architectural structure
Photo of the Day: April 27, 2012
Luis Portelles (Québec, Canada.); Photographed January 2011, Holguin, Cuba
Comments (1) |
October 16, 2012 Hello, Today by accident I found out that this photograph of mine had been featured as "Photo of the Day". I did not have the least idea about it. Certainly, I feel myself flattered; however, I would have loved to be given notice of my election. I would have felt very happy and would have shared it with my friends and family. I also found the photograph featured on your magazine "Retina",it has even been reblogged several times and I was not even given notice once. Do you think in a near future it could be possible to correct this? Thank you very much for your understanding and feedback. Luis Portelles

The Definitive Study?
Overshadowed by the news about "AIDS without HIV" were other research findings that augured less favorably for the future success of the HIV dissenters, particularly Duesberg. First, over the summer of 1992, two groups of researchers reported on the latest advances in isolating HIV from T cells using PCR technology. Instead of finding the virus in one out of every ten thousand or one hundred thousand cells, scientists were now succeeding in finding the virus in one out of every forty to two hundred cells.[89] The following January, Dr. Ashley Haase of the University of Minnesota and other researchers reported on their refinement of PCR called "PCR in situ," which allowed them to discover HIV in 10 to 30 percent of T cells and in high percentages of other cells as well. These findings, the authors explained, were "consistent with the emerging view that HIV infection per se could contribute substantially to depletion of immune cells in AIDS."[90]
Further relevant data were published in March, when two groups
of researchers, one led by Haase and the other by Anthony Fauci, described finding "massive covert infection" of lymphoid cells in the spleen, tonsils, adenoids, and lymph nodes during the early stages of HIV infection—ten times more virus than could be detected in blood samples at that stage of illness.[91] "These developments," wrote Nature editor John Maddox in the Times of London, "convincingly give the lie to Duesberg's only cogent criticism of the conventional view that it is difficult to recover virus from the helper T-cells circulating in the blood." Maddox continued: "Now it seems probable that these vital components of the immune system are damaged and perhaps killed off in the relative obscurity of the lymph nodes and the other organs of the immune system."[92]
Another piece of news (which received little notice beyond a brief report in a New York Times article devoted mainly to other topics)[93] arrived in a presentation at the International AIDS Conference that was designed specifically to prove Duesberg wrong. The report was by Kevin Craib and other researchers with the Vancouver Lymphadenopathy-AIDS Study, one of the principal cohort studies that had been tracking HIV-negative and HIV-positive gay men for nearly a decade. The study's authors noted Duesberg's argument that no controlled study had been conducted that could truly distinguish between lifestyle risk factors and HIV infection as possible causes of AIDS. "The purpose of this analysis," wrote Craib and his associates, "was to conduct just such a controlled analysis within a cohort of homosexual men."[94]
Looking back over their accumulated data, Craib and his coauthors investigated the incidence of AIDS-defining illnesses and changes in T-cell counts over time and tried to relate those clinical developments to HIV status, to exposure to psychoactive drugs, and to sexual behavior. They found that half of the 350 HIV-negative men in the study reported using psychoactive drugs. And about a quarter of them reported having been the receptive partner in anal intercourse with "casual partners." But despite these high incidences of (hypothesized) risk behavior, there were no signs of immune dysfunction in the seronegative group—no AIDS-defining illnesses and no drop in T-cell counts. Of 134 AIDS-defining illnesses in the full cohort, "every single one occurred in men with pre-existing evidence of HIV infection." Cofactors might determine which HIV positives contract which (if any) opportunistic infections, the authors concluded; "but claims that AIDS is caused by other exposures and not by HIV are clearly not borne out by these data."
The Berkeley epidemiologist Warren Winkelstein had already shown Duesberg unpublished figures, derived from the San Francisco Men's Health Study, that supported similar conclusions. Duesberg, however, insisted that unpublished data simply didn't count in the world of science, and he refused to acknowledge Winkelstein's findings unless they appeared in a peer-reviewed journal. Winkelstein maintained, in response, that these were really nonfindings and that scientists weren't generally in the business of publishing nonassociations.[95] But in the end Winkelstein was induced to answer to his nemesis; and in March 1993, an immunologist named Michael Ascher, along with Winkelstein and other colleagues, published a commentary in Nature entitled "Does Drug Use Cause AIDS?"[96] The article appeared the same week as the formal publication of Craib's study in Lancet —a double whammy that attracted the media attention that Craib's conference presentation had failed to elicit.[97]
Ascher and his colleagues assembled a point-by-point argument that seemed intent on addressing every objection that Duesberg had ever voiced or might conceivably muster in the future. It was a strong piece of science and very much a political document, one which acknowledged as its motivation "the wide publicity attracted by [Duesberg's] assertion."[98] Ascher and his colleagues reviewed the San Francisco Men's Health Study data for 1,027 study subjects over ninety-six months. According to interviews performed at the beginning of the study back in 1984, the 812 gay or bisexual men and the 215 straight men had used cocaine, marijuana, and amphetamines in roughly the same percentages during the two years prior to recruitment for the study. (For example, 36 percent of homosexuals/bisexuals and 39 percent of heterosexuals had reported using marijuana once a week or more.) Since 26 percent of the gay or bisexual men had been diagnosed with AIDS indicator diseases over the course of the study, one would therefore expect that roughly the same percentage of the heterosexuals would also have AIDS diseases, if drug use were indeed the cause. But in fact, there were no cases of AIDS indicator diseases in the heterosexual group.
Noting that "the clinical case definition of AIDS has been criticized as having subjective features and low specificity," the authors also presented data examining the relationship between T-cell counts over time, drug use, and one's status as antibody positive or negative. T-cell counts, after all, were "the primary pathognomonic feature of AIDS"; they were the best indicator of the health or impairment of the
immune system in people at risk of AIDS. The results were striking: The average numbers of T cells (per cubic millimeter) for the seropositives declined steadily from about seven hundred in 1984 to about four hundred in 1992, regardless of extent of drug use. But the average numbers for the seronegatives stayed the same, at one thousand to twelve hundred T cells—although ironically, the heavy and moderate drug-using seronegatives actually had slightly higher T-cell counts than the seronegative abstainers. This was a surprising finding, but it hardly helped Duesberg's case. The researchers concluded with their own challenge for their adversary: "The energies of Duesberg and his followers could better be applied to unraveling the enigmatic mechanism of the HIV pathogenesis of AIDS."

Hudson Institute Briefing Paper
January 25, 2011
by Christopher Ford
Download PDF (558.5 KB)
Though there seems little reason why it should not yield insights when applied to the complex adaptive systems of human society, the field of Complexity Theory presents special problems for anyone looking to it for lessons in the field of public policymaking. In particular, complex systems' nonlinearity and sensitivity to initial conditions seems to have subversive implications for policymaking, inasmuch as the unpredictability that they imply undercuts the very possibility of purposive policymaking. Complexity presents a "policymaker's paradox," for even as is suggests that small policy inputs can sometimes have an enormous impact upon systemic outcomes, it also seems to teach that we cannot predict what results our policy choices are likely to have over time. When outcomes are radically resistant to prediction, they are also necessarily resistant to the sort of deliberate control that policymaking traditionally assumes it possible to assert.
After outlining this dilemma, this paper explores one possible, albeit only partial, response: an approach to policymaking that focuses with special emphasis upon shaping the conceptual frameworks that guide and channel human behavior within complex adaptive social systems. Experts continue to debate the degree to which Complexity insights from the hard sciences can translate into the social sciences. A focus upon the ideational constraints upon, and drivers for, unit-level operational behavior in a social system seems warranted, however, because humans' susceptibility to tying behavior to such frameworks distinguishes them from unit-level elements of the complex systems investigated in other fields (e.g., chemistry, physics, computing, mathematics, or evolutionary biology). Accordingly, this paper suggests the possibility that policy interventions in the realm of ideas may have more potential to create transformative change than many other types of intervention. Such interventions are perhaps also able to produce change that is more "predictable" than Complexity would otherwise tend to suggest, inasmuch as conceptual "memetics" can create characteristic behavioral patterns over time as ideas propagate themselves in conceptual "families" and thus continue to shape actors' choices in recognizable ways.
The paper explores this notion through the use of a case study: the evolution of the "separate development" ideology of racial apartheid in South Africa from the 1950s to the beginning of the 1990s. Outlining the origins of this system in a deliberate effort of ideological entrepreneurship by ideologists within that country's then-ruling National Party, the paper then follows the evolution of separate development theory as it struggled with domestic and international contestation, internal contradictions and tensions, and competition from other ideological frameworks until its effective dissolution with the coming of universal franchise within a system of constitutional rights in the early 1990s. This paper uses examples from the history of South African separate development theory to illustrate Complexity Theory's utility as a lens through which to examine political ideology, and to suggest – in light of the peculiar power ideas seem to have to shape behavior, for good or ill – the potential value of a more self-consciously ideational approach to public policy.

I Skyped my first wedding on Saturday.
My beautiful niece Elizabeth Selzam got married in the backyard of her parents' home in Jackson, New Jersey. And I got to watch it live from 7,000 miles away on my MacBook Air.
Because of a choppy connection with Pat's iPad, I couldn't hear or see the entire ceremony. However, I could tell from all the beaming faces that it was a wonderful day. I was a little groggy, since the wedding took place at 1:40 in the morning my time, but it was worth staying up for.

Baffling 911 call leads to long search in Ware
WARE, Mass. (WHDH) -- Investigators spent 12 hours Sunday searching for clues all across Ware after receiving an anonymous 9-1-1 call warning of suspicious activity.
The first call was at 8:30 a.m. warning of a possible hazardous material incident on West Street in the vicinity of the high school.
It was a tense afternoon for local residents.
"We really didn't know what was going," said John Yestramski.
"We took it as a serious threat, a serious phone call," said Chief Thomas Coulombe of the Ware Fire Department.
Christine Henry didn't return home until late Sunday night. Officers warned her of the threat as she was trying to leave.
"The cop said, 'What are you doing? You can't be leaving, there's a threat in the area and you should stay in your home.' I said, 'My son has a soccer game.' I didn't know what was going on," said Henry.
For hours, investigators weren't sure what they were looking for. The threat was called in right near the local middle and high schools.
The search came up empty. Public safety officials have given an all-clear and as a result, school opened Monday morning.
Neighbors were thankful nothing was found, but baffled by the threat.
"I guess we just keep going like nothing happened, ya know, like what else can you do? Unless they tell us something, we don't know," said Henry.
Investigators said they are looking into who placed the phone call.

Rhondda (Cold Knap) Lifeguards Club celebrates 50th anniversary
4:50pm Tuesday 2nd October 2012 in News
A LIFEGUARD club founded 50 years ago in the land-locked Rhondda Valleys, and based for part of the year in Barry, celebrated its 50th anniversary with the launch of a book and DVD recording club history.
At a gala evening held last Friday at a packed Rhondda Heritage Park hotel, Rhondda (Cold Knap) Liefuards Club guests were presented with the book and DVD to mark the occasion.
RCT Mayor, Cllr Doug Williams, paid tribute to the club for performing 106 rescues in their 50 years, whilst Vale Mayor Cllr Eric Hacker thanked them on behalf of the residents in the Vale, for travelling to Barry every summer since 1967 to perform voluntary lifeguard duties.
Both presidents of the Royal Life Saving Society (East Wales) Glenys Jones and Surf Life Saving Wales, Peter Lake, congratulated the club on their remarkable history and on their record of introducing and developing young people in lifesaving skills, over so many years.
The club's president, Les Lewis spoke about the beginning and the early years of the club's existence and paid a moving tribute to the members no longer with them.
On behalf of Surf Life Saving in Wales, Peter Lake presented club secretary and vice-chair, Alun Humphreys and Phil Rees respectively, with certificates of thanks for all their hard work over the years. He also presented a certificate marking the club's golden anniversary to Les Lewis.
Phil Rees thanked Katrina Kirkwood, a digital story telling artist, who with support from the Communities First Trust fund and the Heritage Lottery, constructed a truly inspirational book and DVD recording and celebrating a remarkable golden achievement.
Copies of the book, titled, 'No Beaches in the Rhondda', can be ordered through the email address on the contacts page of the Club's website www.rhonddalifeguardclub.com
