Would You Wear Sheer Stockings Like Kate Middleton?
The only people who can get away with wearing shiny, flesh-colored tights are cheerleaders, figure skaters and Beyonce (when she's performing onstage). Until now.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 29, who has become an international style icon practically overnight, is quite the fan of nude stockings, donning them with almost every one of her designer dresses.

Sheer hosiery (specifically the type with a sheen), went out of style with shoulder pads and slouch socks, so why does the fashion-forward Middleton regularly step out in stockings?
It's likely that she is following conservative Royal protocol, just like the Queen, the Duchess of Cornwall and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who always wear stockings (with close-toe pumps) at official appearances and events.

Other stylish ladies who have been spotted in nude tights include Pippa Middleton, Hayden Panettiere and Sarah Jessica Parker.
The British press recently reported that sales of tan-colored tights have risen by up to 85 percent in the past year, and attribute the increase to the Middleton sisters.

'No serious consultation' – Marten Falls chief on parks process
A Nishnawbe Aski Nation chief is annoyed with the review process surrounding legislation for Ontario's parks and protected areas.
March 24, 2005: Volume 32 #6
Chief Eli Moonias says he's concerned First Nations adjacent to Ontario's protected parks, waterways, and areas could get shortchanged when the legislation is tightened.
"The consultation they do is not good," said the chief of Marten Falls First Nation. "I think the consultation should be done in each community affected."
Moonias said he first heard of the review process from Adair Ireland-Smith, managing director of Ontario Parks and the legislation review process leader. She spoke to chiefs at a meeting in Thunder Bay, Nov. 3 – five days before the deadline for comments was scheduled.
"What I see happening is there is no serious intention to consult," he said of the presentation, which was made to about 40 Nishnawbe Aski Nation chiefs. "I feel as if that consultation is just a motion they had to go through. They are going to do whatever they want to do anyway regardless of what we say."
Ireland-Smith, however, said the time set aside for comments, from Sept. 9 to Nov. 8, 2004, was set to provide a strong timeline while expecting a large number of public submissions.
"Because we set aside 60 days for the formal part of the consultation in no way means that First Nation communities cannot have that dialogue with us and submit comments," she said.
Ireland-Smith also said NAN chiefs passed a series of resolutions at the chiefs meeting she attended with their own commentary on the eight proposals listed for consideration as the basis of the review.
"That information came in after the 60-day period," she said. "And that information is part of the record."
During her November presentation to the chiefs, Ireland-Smith informed them the province's overall objective of the review is to strengthen the level of protection for existing protected areas in the province.
Today, Ontario's network of protected areas covers about nine per cent of the province's land-base. Of that, there are 316 provincial parks covering 7.7 million hectares; 249 conservation reserves spanning one million hectares; and 10 wilderness areas covering 800 hectares.
Ireland-Smith said those lands and waterways were set aside to form a network of protected areas "to protect biodiversity conservation.
"There is a scientific framework that guides where we choose to have protected areas," she said. "It is based on geological and biological features that we are trying to represent in our protected areas system. The scientific frameworks actually set targets for protection of representative features. And we try, to the best of our abilities, to set aside representative areas that capture those features."
Partnership for Public Lands (an environmental lobby group with three member organizations including Wildlands League, Ontario Nature and World Wildlife Fund) was instrumental in bringing about a commitment from Premier Dalton McGuinty to have the legislation reviewed, Ireland-Smith said. Additional reasons for a green lighting the review process include: a recognition that the existing legislation was outdated and needed to be overhauled, and the environmental commissioner thought it prudent to go ahead.
Julee Boan, protected areas co-ordinator with Partnership for Public Lands, said her organization sought a tightening of the legislation because it is inadequate.
"The laws governing Ontario Parks were last substantially revised in 1954 where there were just eight parks," she said. "There are now more than 600 parks and conservation reserves that still do not have a law that makes protection of species and habitats the priority in parks management."
Boan also said the existing law says almost nothing about what must be done to make sure parks protect the wild species they are meant to sustain.
"The law also leaves many dangerous loopholes for industrial activities such as logging roads and gravel pits or developments such as hotels or golf courses that can threaten the very ecosystems that our parks are meant to protect," she said.
Moonias, on the other hand, said he is especially concerned about impacts a tightened parks legislation will mean for his people.
"A consultation process was not done in the 1970s when the Albany, Attawapiskat, Ogoki, and Winisk rivers were protected under that new protected parks and waterways act," he said. "They didn't consult the people at all."
Prior to the establishment of protected areas near Marten Falls, Moonias said his people were engaged in commercial fishing activities in those areas.
"We commercial fished these rivers since the Hudson Bay Company arrived, since this country was known as Rupert's Land," he said.
No longer able to fish those waters commercially since the areas became protected, Moonias said the economy in Marten Falls has all but died.
"So we've gone into the reserve and become dependent on welfare," he said. "Now I'm concerned (that this legislation review and subsequent law-making) will mean the alienation of Aboriginal use of the lands as guaranteed by our treaties."
Ireland-Smith said she does not know the exact dates of when the parks surrounding Marten Falls came into existence.
"Certainly the consultation expectations and processes in the '60s, '70s, '80s and even the '90s were different than they are today," she said. "That changes in terms of case law. Absolutely it was different."
Ireland-Smith said consultation with First Nations during the parks and protected areas legislation review process has been, and continues to be, a priority.
"I can understand that he and others would liked to have seen our consultation process involve individual-level community consultation," Ireland-Smith said. "That was not part of the consultation plan that was approved. Certainly any community that would wish to have dialogue, we could get on the phone and have that dialogue."
Ireland-Smith also said Aboriginal treaty rights for traditional land-use activities are recognized under the Canadian Constitution and will not be affected by the legislation if it is tightened.
Although Boan said Partnership for Public Lands wants to have the legislation tightened, she said the environmental organization does not want Aboriginal treaty rights impinged in the process.
She said a research paper coordinated with the National Aboriginal Forestry Association was published by one of the Partnership for Public Lands members to provide a better understanding of Aboriginal values and protected areas in Canada.
"We have used some of the lessons learned from that research in our proposal to the new protected areas legislation," Boan said. "Aboriginal people must have a say in where protected areas are established and how they are managed in Ontario. The new legislation can be an opportunity to officially recognize protocols for meaningful consultations and accommodation, clarify Aboriginal treaty rights within protected areas, explore opportunities for co-management, and ensure that benefits from protected areas are shared with Aboriginal communities."
NAN irons out permitting systemFinding an approach to implementing a permitting and impact benefits agreement system in Nishnawbe Aski Nation is being supported by its communities, says Carol Ann Audet, Lands and Resources Co-ordinator.
"A number of First Nations have expressed an interest in participating in this process but no decision on a 'test case' has yet been made," she said in a written release.
Audet also said the intent behind the strategy is to provide First Nations with the necessary tools to assert jurisdiction.
"This would be done through the issuance of permits which would allow First Nations to set out the conditions for the use of the land," she added.
Audet also said a more detailed update on a permitting and impact benefits agreement system will be provided at the upcoming March 2005 Chiefs Assembly.

Police seize drugs, alligator in drug bust
Narcotics police got a unusual surprise Friday when a drug bust netted more than $3,000 worth of marijuana, $792 in cash -- and an alligator.
The three-foot American alligator, which was found at 7506 Gleneagle Drive, was discovered after Anne Arundel County police executed a search warrant related to suspected drug trafficking at the Jessup home.
Animal control captured the alligator, which was taken to a facility for exotic animals. Police said the animal was kept as a pet. It is illegal to have a domesticated alligator in Anne Arundel County.
Michael Golden, 32, was charged with numerous drug offenses including possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
During their investigation police say it was discovered Golden has ties to the Dead Man Inc. street gang.
Additional charges are pending.

65-foot yacht sinks while slipped at Lake Mead marina
Image by National Park Service
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- A 65-foot yacht sunk while slipped at Temple Bar Marina on Lake Mead.
It happened on Friday, Oct. 18.
The 1996 Skipperliner began taking on water around 9:30 a.m. and sunk within minutes. Nobody was on board and no injuries were reported.
The boat is partially submerged in 45-foot deep water.
Vessel Assist, out of Lake Havasu City, will salvage the boat later this week. No hazardous waste has been observed at this time.
Initial assessments indicate an equipment failure may be the cause.
National Park Service park rangers are investigating the incident.
The Associated Press is reporting the yacht belongs to Las Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton.

Funding FY 2007-2010
*AEECA: Assistance to Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia
Background: The Russian Federation is the world's largest nation and home to over 140 million people belonging to more than 160 nationalities. The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 brought new freedoms to the Russian people but also new opportunities for criminal enterprise and serious challenges to the old Soviet system of justice. Russia's place in the world economy ensures that threats to the country's rule of law affect states around the globe, including the United States. The Russian government and citizenry are increasingly recognizing the need for strong legal institutions and law enforcement to combat pervasive crime and protect economic and democratic freedom.
Partnership in promoting the rule of law has proven to be an area of opportunity for the U.S.-Russian relationship. Since 2000, Russia has passed a Code of Criminal Procedure that incorporates basic legal principles such as jury trials, created a regulatory system to combat money laundering, enacted legislation directed against human trafficking and child pornography, and initiated a national action plan to address corruption. Through providing technical assistance at critical junctures, the United States has supported Russia's steps to strengthen the rule of law and ensure justice and security for its citizens.

Oommen Chandy assures will take up Maudany case with Karnataka
Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy Wednesday assured friends of Muslim leader Abdul Nasser Maudany, in jail in Karnataka over the 2008 Bangalore blasts, that he will take up with Karnataka the issue of Maudany being kept in prison without any trial.
Chandy said he will seek justice for the jailed Muslim leader.
"There can be no rationale for keeping a person in jail without a trial. We will take up this issue with the Karnataka government. Maudany should get the same treatment that any Indian citizen gets," Chandy told reporters after his meeting with leaders of Maudany's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Maudany is in custody in Karnataka since August 2010 for his alleged involvement in the 2008 Bangalore bomb blasts.
In March, Maudany secured parole for a few days to attend his daughter's wedding. He returned to Bangalore to the jail where he is now being kept.
Party leaders here expressed hope that with the change of the state government in Karnataka, Maudany can look forward to a speedy trial.

It was a sad day for us two weeks ago, as we finally said goodbye to one of the original MOOsters, Nicky. Nicky has been with MOO from almost the very beginning, as she joined in 2006 and was our 5th developer! So, we decided that as one of our longest standing, friendliest and most dedicated members of staff, she deserved an extra special send-off.
As we are currently renovating part of our offices, we had a large open space that was screaming "throw a party in me!" – and we are not ones to ignore a scream like that, so Marc (Nicky's manager) and myself got to work doing some Top Secret Party Planning.
There was cake (that goes without saying)
And a bucket-load of mojitos!
We put Nicky's favourite cartoons on to play (She-Ra and Ghostbusters, FYI) and the developers decided that to immortalize Nicky, they would write 'BYE NICKY' in tape on the concrete before our smart new flooring went down the following week. Of course, Roly's hair was suitable decorated to mark the occasion – cheerleaders and a Shark fin!
It was sad to see Nicky go, but we certainly saw her off in style, with plenty of dancing, games and consumption of cocktails! Nicky will be sorely missed at MOO, by everyone who met her – she always had a smile and was one of our most talented web developers. We wish her the very best of luck with her new life in Australia!
Bye Nicky!
You are really great company nice cake btw
Awesome photos, thankyou Rob
And thankyou Marc & everyone for such a lovely do – the best time to have a party is always before you've put the furniture (and/or floors, and definitely walls…) in
Am looking forward to seeing the next amazing products you come out with – g'luck and I shall see you all before I go I hope!

Over the past couple of years Kate and I have been all over the United States. Whether by bicycle or by car, we never stayed in one place for two long. Our spirit of adventure is a strong as ever, it just has taken on a different form.
We are crazy excited to be starting a family! As with any new adventure, it has changed the path we are choosing to take, and steering the directions we are taking our passions.
Starting a Chicken Farm
With riding our bicycles 5,500 miles across the country visiting family farms of all kinds, it is not surprising that we developed a real passion for sustainable food production. With out apprenticeship at Devon Point Farm complete, we felt confident with tackling an agricultural venture of our own.
With the desire to start a farm, a baby on the way, and a new set of goals to achieve we decided on a place to call home for a while. That place is New Milford, CT. Our town is on the Western side of Connecticut, close to the border with New York. There we are renting a one bedroom apartment as we settle into a more stationary life.
I have partnered up with a few other local farmers to get established in my first year of farming on my own. Curtis Eck, a local hay and grain farmer is working with me to have my chickens live on his pastures in between his cuttings of hay. My birds will get to enjoy all the grass and insects that are attracted by the hay fields, and his fields will enjoy the fresh fertilizer that my chickens leave behind. A win win.
Since I am starting a Chicken and Herb CSA I needed a drop off point where CSA members could pick up their fresh birds. Since I will be working with Curtis who has over 400 acres, I needed to pick just one spot. Another local farm offered up a great opportunity, and I will be working with them. White Silo Winery in Sherman, CT (less than 10 minutes from my apartment) makes some of the best wines I have tasted. They not only make wine from the grapes they grow, but from their raspberries, blackberries, rhubarb, and black currants. The owner Ralph has a wonderful pallet, which is evident in his wines. They are going to let me have my CSA pick-up at the winery on Fridays. I will have the beautiful backdrop of a charming Connecticut winery to hand out the chickens to my members.
I may even have built my network a little further as of yesterday. I have been driving around talking with other farms, nursery owners, farm store owners (like Tractor Supply Company, and Agway), and anyone else who wants to talk farming for a minute. I met a nursery owner who might have some green house space I can use to start my herbs this spring. Greenhouses can run up into the thousands of dollars, and I don't need a ton of space at first. He could save me a large capitol investment as I get established. As you may have heard, no one gets rich farming, so every little bit helps.
If it "takes a village to raise a child" then it certainly takes a similar community to start a farm. My hope is that the work I am doing to help educate more people, along with the hundreds of others like me, will make it easier for future generations to successfully make the choice to start a farm.
Kate has gotten full time employment in one of the local schools. She will be working there and helping me with the farm until the baby comes. When that time comes, wow, it's going to be crazy around here.
What's in store for the future?
This year I will continue with my photo updates on the blog. I loved sharing our farm experience that way, and I know a lot of people really enjoyed the photos. FoodCyclist.com is now my farm website as well as the blog that follows our journeys. Since my farm is centered around chicken herbs, I will be posting information about the benefits of pasture-raised meats, recipe ideas that you can make use of whether you buy from my farm or not, as well as some insights into farming.
It certainly has been an adventure so far pursuing the dream of starting a farm of my own. There is a lot more than just planting and weeding.

Twinbas at Antietam
By Paula Tremba
February 12, 2013
My twin granddaughters were visiting from New Mexico for Christmas. Took a family/friend hike in nearby Antietam National Battlefield on a cold New Year's day.
Related Parks
On September 17,1862, more than 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or missing in the battle at Antietam, a pivotal battle in the Civil War. Visitors can take a self-guided 8.5 mile tour of the battlefield by car, bicycle or on foot. The park includes the Antietam National Cemetery, which honors 5,000 Union soldiers who died in the battle.

I've been pondering some of the same issues being discussed in this thread so let me toss it out my situation. I have a golite ultra 20 that weighs 18.65 oz (w/o straps) and I have used it to 20 degrees with Montbell UL inner jacket, MLD ultralight bivy, and 3/8" CCF pad trimmed to 38" and was fine in it.I've made the statement I can't imagine a lighter sleeping item keeping me warm using the same other items down to 20 degrees. This thread is making me think. Can a Nunatak quilt weighing 16 - 18 ounces be as warm as my Golite Ultra 20. If so what is the best way to spend ounces to make it happen.Golite Ultra 20: down=9.5oz, wgt=19oz, baffle=2.5"Arc Alpinist 20: down=11oz wgt=20oz, baffle=2.5"Arc Ghost 32: down=8oz, wgt=14oz, baffle=2"Arc Specialist 32: down=8oz, wgt=16oz, baffle=1.75"The arc alpinist might do it if I use the lighter .8 quantum.The Ghost might be close already, do I add 2 oz of down? Is it ok that it is narrower?The specialist seems like a candidate, add 2 oz? but the baffle is 1.75" this is confusing.Any thoughts on what Nunatak quilt with which options would get a bag that is better then my golite ultra 20 (weight wise) and/or warmth wise?I wish I could leave well enough alone, always looking for something better.Thanks,Jamie

If the Ghost size will work with your build and sleep style you could customize by using the 2.5" baffle and a 2-3oz overfill. This would get you into the temp range of the Alpinist and save you weight. I just received mine not long ago, very nice.
Thom, Thanks for the info. I want to make sure I understand you...is your Ghost 2.5" with extra down or is yours the standard spec. If it is 2.5" and extra down is there any chance you can weigh it and let me know what you get. I agree if I can handle the tighter fit I think the 2.5" with down would be perfect.I'm just not sure I will like the smaller size of the Ghost. I really like the size of my Ultra and I think it compares better to the Specialist size. $400ish bucks is hard to shell out to try the size.One more question...how long did it take to get your Ghost once you ordered it?Decisions, decisions, decisions....thanks for the help.Jamie
Jamie, a long PM sent. I hope this helps.
Thom, I got your PM, yes it helped.Thanks, Jamie
Hi Guys,I've also been considering a quilt and I like what I see in the Alpinist. Can anyone tell me if you can sleep in different positions (i.e. on your side) without causing too much of a draft? I move around a little and I'm a cold sleeper.
Can anyone tell me if you can sleep in different positions (i.e. on your side) without causing too much of a draft?Depends on your body measurements and the clothing you'll be using inside the quilt. I'm a very restless sleeper and I find quilts far superior to mummy bags for 3 seasons - provided that the quilt is wide enough through the shoulders and torso.For reference, I'm 5'9" 150lbs, size Medium t-shirt, also a cold sleeper. I almost always use a bivy or an enclosed tent. The 55" shoulder girth of the Arc Alpinist is plenty for me, maybe excessive if I were a gram-counter. I could probably go as narrow as 46-50" in milder temps. But I use my Arc Alpinist at 0-5°F with a winter parka, so the width is great for me. To be on the safe side, a gap underneath you of no more than about 8" is probably best. Wearing only a base layer and cinching the quilt snugly, the gap for me is around 2-3". Those numbers are just estimations though. Tom can make suggestions and customizations and needed.
Edited by PA_Jay on 02/01/2009 11:27:20 MST.
Thanks Matt, Ashley, Richard for the clarifications. Very helpful!
Thanks Jason,Your answer is a big help. I'm also 5'9", but I weigh 190. Someone sent me a PM and suggested I get a couple of extra inches added to the width and a couple of oz of down added. From what you're telling me it sounds like that is also good advice since I have a thicker build. It's also good to know that with a parka you can get down to 0-5 degrees F. My rationale was to have a bag/quilt that I could use in a wide temp range. Also, I thought with a quilt I could just partially drape it over me if it was a warm night. Because of the price I want to be sure that I make a wise and flexible purchase. Thank you again for your help.
Kendall,I'm 5' 11" and weight 205 (plus/minus 10 or so depending on season), but I didn't ask to have any "extra" sizing added to the Arc's "standard" width. Only modifications I did have are described in my first posting for this thread.Haven't had any problems with keeping drafts at bay with the standard width, whether on my back, side, or turning. I just tuck the sides in once I get settled or resettled. The width (or circumference) for different sizes are shown at the Nunatak website, as you probably have already seen.One way to check out "width" to see what works with your sleeping style (and assuming you already have a bag, with a mummy probably best for this experiment) would be to use your bag like a quilt, unzipped & drapped over you, for a cold night. Might give you a good idea how well a quilt the width of your bag would do for you. Then compare that width with the standard width on an Arc. Who knows, you might end up asking that the "standard" width be reduced.JRS
Kendall: Yeah, based on what you've said I'd be inclined to agree with JRS, you might not need extra width. It doesn't sound like you're that much bigger than me, and the Arc Alpinist is plenty wide for my build. My winter parka is huge too. Some people my size say they're happy with 46" girth, ala the Nunatak Ghost. 55" might be spot on for you.As was suggested, you could just dress in the most clothing you plan to wear, and use a sleeping bag or flexible tape measure to get a sense of the girth you need. The pics on Nunatak's site give a good sense of how big the gap underneath you can be and still effectively block drafts.
Richard - JasonI appreciate your advice. This is a new hobby for me and I'm grateful for any input from anyone who has more experience than I do. LOL I just came down to 190 lbs from 205 lbs since the holidays. I can definitely relate. I have to tell you that I'm even more excited now because what everyone has been been telling me and the posts and reviews I've seen about the Alpinist. Finally, I can make a clear decision! I've been reading BPL for a couple of years now and been a member for almost a year. This is the first time I asked for any help in the forums. What a great resource! Thanks again. :-)
Jamie,Question for you as I torment me over the choices of what to spend my money on.I have been looking at the Golite Ultra 20 too....it is a lot cheaper than the Nunatak.What is it that you are not happy with that is causing you to move to a much more expensive quit?I only ask because I am trying to make the same decision of which one to buy....the GoLite has a very attractive price.Thanks for your thoughts.-Tony
Tony, I too fell in to the attraction of the ultra 20 pricing. I was barely warm in to the low 30s and that was with wearing a MontBell thermawrap. For reference, I consider myself a warm sleeper. I sold mine after 1 trip out with it.-Chris
Chris:Did you get one of the early models? I believe there was an initial problem with them being under-filled.
I purchased it from SummitHut in December but it's entirely possible it was old stock.
I was warm in my regular Golite Ultra 20 down into the upper 20s, with a medium base layer, and a fleece jacket. I sold that bag and bought a long, and I feel the long I bought was overstuffed on the sides/bottom, and way understuffed in several of the chambers on top. The people I bought it from told me it was fine though when I sent it back.
"What is it that you are not happy with that is causing you to move to a much more expensive quit?"Tony, I can only admit this here...there is absolutely nothing wrong at all with my golite ultra 20. I consider it to be the best sleeping item on the market when judged by performance, weight, durability, and price. It is incredibly roomy inside... a true 19 oz quilt keeping me warm at 20 degrees at 5500 feet (east coast) with wind is amazing to me. What can beat it?So you ask why am I looking elsewhere? the truth is I am about out of things to tweak. I have purchased and repurchased every piece of gear many times over. I absolutely love researching something, putting in the order, waiting for it to come, then plannig a trip to try out this new piece of gear! Since using the golite ultra 20 on 3 trips I have found that I really like a sleeping quilt. The idea of researching and having a custom quilt made to my specs trying to beat this great quilt seems fun. Can I find a better solution?And last of all....I want an all black quilt. The golite blue is actually pretty nice, but I prefer my all black marmot hydrogen for looks.All this being said I am not sure I can beat it. Based on input from Thom I am now leaning towards the Arc Ghost, 2.5" baffles, 2 oz extra fill, in .8 oz quantum (both sides). This bad boy should be as warm as my ultra and weigh in at 17-18 oz I'm guessing, but will be noticable narrower and cost $400+ bucks with a 6+ week wait.As much as I want a custom quilt I'm having a hard time justifying it. Jamie
Jamie,Thanks for your honest self evaluation.A lot of this gear stuff is about finding that perfect kit for yourself.I have to say that the sex appeal of having a custom quilt made is pretty powerful, but I am trying to see what all the options are out there.Heck, I was thinking of a heavier option of supplimenting my 40F bag with my thermawrap pants that I already own to keep me from spending more money. :)Thanks for the feedback and good luck to you on your quest to resist temptation. :)-Tony
As the proud new owner of an Arc Specialist I'm glad I spent the extra bucks and got just what I wanted. Custom fit to 6'1", 1.75" loft, 1oz overfill, and 0.8 Pertex inside and out. I was hoping to get the weight down to 16oz, but the overfill made it exactly 17. Adjustable fit is big enough for down clothing underneath while side sleeping and still be comfortable. I had planned to get a summer weight quilt, Ghost sized with .75" loft and a total of 6oz of down, but this one may work out fine for beyond 3 season use.

Demi Lovato Gets Serious on 'Grey's Anatomy'
Hopefully, Demi Lovato doesn't head down that road. It doesn't seem likely, since she's been acting for years (she was in the cast of 'Barney & Friends' with Selina Gomez). Plus, she already had a taste of dramatic acting with a role in FOX's 'Prison Break' back in 2006.
With that accumulated experience, her guest stint as a schizophrenic patient on an upcoming May episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' should work out. Look for ratings to skyrocket as tweens ask their parents to stay up late on a school night to watch (and ask why everyone is having sex with everyone else at Seattle Grace).
Sorry, Snooki: the Obamas Don't Watch 'Jersey Shore'
We're speaking, of course, about Snooki and The Situation, from MTV's new series 'Jersey Shore.' Alas, according to First Lady Michelle Obama, it's a show the First Family does not watch. "I've heard about it," Mrs Obama tells People, in an interview all about the Obamas' TV viewing preferences. "Not seen it."
Hollywood Reporter says Apple can't kill cable
A commentary from THR's Andrew Wallenstein states rather bluntly in the headline that "Apple can't kill cable."
His argument is varied and well-thought-out in several areas, from a lack of adequate company backing to fill Apple's show roster to basic economic principals that I could have understood if my college economics professor didn't make brains bleed with the power of his voice.
Then again, never-say-never. For instance, a certain entertainment newspaper once said in 1955 that rock 'n roll music would be "gone by June." Do you know which newspaper that was? Well, it was ... um, Variety, but that's beside the point.
Apple talking to CBS, Disney for its TV project
CBS and Disney are in talks with Apple to join their latest iTunes TV project, a monthly subscription that would give viewers access to a whole range of TV shows.
Of course, none of these deals are set in stone and everything can fall apart at a moment's notice, but imagine the effects this project would have on television. Are you excited about it or does it scare you down to the very core of your being?
Viewers to Choose Disney Channel's New Years Eve Lineup
A Porsche? Nah, got that already.
A kiss from Nick Jonas? Been there.
A spot on Disney Channel's 'New Year's Eve Star Showdown' lineup? Ding, ding, ding!
Beginning this Friday, Nov. 27, the Disney stars will duke it out for a spot on the Disney Channel's Dec. 31 evening lineup, the Hollywood Reporter confirms. Fans will be able to vote for their fave episodes and music videos at DisneyChannel.com. The winning shows will run on New Year's Eve from 6PM to 12:30AM, while songs from the 10 favorite music videos will play on Radio Disney, starting at 12PM on Jan. 1.
Disney Reels in Animated Series 'Fish Hooks'
The Hollywood Reporter details a 21-episode Disney order for the new 'toon show, which chronicles the underwater happenings at Freshwater High, a school submerged in a fish tank of a local pet shop.
Cartoon-rendered teen fish such as Piranica, Clamantha and Jocktopus deal with typical adolescent dating, homework and popularity issues, as well as seaworthy topics such as aquarium field trips to the pet store's hamster cagesand even an occasional assault from a giant lobster.
The last time The Disney Channel rolled out a new animated show was 'Phineas and Ferb' in 2007. President of entertainment at Disney Channels Worldwide Gary Marsh calls the 'Fish Hooks' effort "one of the most original, inventive animated series on television, bringing an ingenious twist to the classic archetypes of high school life."
Disney Channel's president loves the gay Miley Cyrus video spoof
Seriously. In a surprising move, Disney, who owns Miley's music (as well as her soul), has allowed the video to become a hit on YouTube, and Disney employees have reportedly been e-mailing it to each other all week. It even got the seal of approval from Rich Ross, the president of Disney Channels Worldwide. Mr. Ross recently placed a phone call to the maker of the video, Esquire marketing exec Dave Fudge, just to tell him he "loved it."
Disney's new family movie on demand service offers free peek
Subscribers to the service get access to a rotating selection of Disney's classic and contemporary films and animated shorts. Obviously, the on demand lineup is put together with the emphasis on family friendly. Each title in the selection menu remains in rotation for about a month, with new movies added weekly.
While this looks like a great thing for parents looking to have a steady inventory of safe video babysitters, the only concern is how this service might gut the programming on Disney's other cable entities -- or how it might affect the availability of DVDs.
JONAS in iCarly witness relocation while Hannah and Sonny get renewals
As for JONAS, it's already been yanked from Saturdays where, despite an impressive debut, it got slammed in its second outing by iCarly. So now, it's joining the Disney Sunday lineup, where it can nestle snugly behind Hannah Montana and Sonny With a Chance. This does create a powerhouse Sunday night for the network, while protecting the two newer shows with the power of Miley Cyrus.
Disney grooming Wizards of Waverly Place to be their "next big thing"
What they really need to do is stream it on Hulu to ensure it is. The kids are online, you know.
God help us, another High School Musical
High School Musical 4 is returning to its cable roots and being broadcast sometime in 2010 in the House of the Mouse. The new installment will star none of the previous cast. Hopefully all the Zac Efron fans won't commit ritualistic mass suicide over this fact.
I've already written of my opinion on this franchise. My only question is will the lack of original cast simply suck in a new generation who have no associations with the original version and from whom Disney executives will feast on their child brains for years to come, or will it suck like Ace Ventura III (admittedly, I haven't seen this direct-to-DVD gem. I'm just assuming).
Honestly, they should get back one or two of the original cast, just to have a sense of continuity between the two "generations" of the films. It worked for Grease II.
An item for those who haven't had their fill of Miley or the Jo Bros
Admit it ... you're obsessed with the Jonas Brothers (known in the tween world as the Jo Bros) and Miley Cyrus (known in the tween world as -- Miley Cyrus). You wake up in Hannah Montana pajamas, you eat your cereal with your Miley Cyrus spoon, and you make sure you have safe sex with your Jo Bros' IUD. But, you need more to satisfy your craving for Disneyfied bubblegum rock and pop. Thing is, you fear that you have exhausted all of your resources.
Have some faith, slightly creepy one. Fact of the matter is the Disney Channel is watching your back. Starting at 5:30 pm tonight, the network will be premiering the Jonas Brothers' newest video, as well as Miley's first video from her new Hannah Montana movie. If that weren't enough to sustain you, Disney will be broadcasting the Kids Inaugural: We Are the Future concert, which will feature not only the Jo Bros and Miley, but Demi Lovato and Bow Wow (no longer 'Little').
See? Everything will be okay. Now you can get dressed in your High School Musical pants suit and head out to your job as CEO of a multi-billion dollar company.

Disney Channel gets top marks across multiple media
I'm just full of Disney news (or full of something) this week, aren't I? On Monday I asked the question of what happened to the Playhouse Disney schedule. This time around I'm going to talk about the entire Disney Channel. Not just the cable network, but the website as well. For both are tops in their respective outlets.
Well, tops when it comes to kids programming -- an area of entertainment that continues to grow on a daily basis. For 2008, Disney Channel was top of the heap in a number of areas. Not only was primetime programming number one for viewers ages 6-14, but the premiere of the network's newest musical, Camp Rock (which introduced us to Demi Lovato), became cable's top entertainment broadcast of the year. Cable's top animated debut also went to Disney Channel with the premiere of Phineas and Ferb.
What happened to Playhouse Disney this morning?
The following item is for those of you parents out there with young children. Those of you who watch soft-core porn in the morning can disregard this post.
Did any of you notice something weird with the Playhouse Disney schedule this morning? Starting at 6 a.m. EST you get JoJo's Circus, Johnny and the Sprites and The Wiggles, and those mini-episodes that the network imports from Canada. That wasn't the case this morning. Instead we got Phineas and Ferb, Imagination Movers and Handy Manny. In addition, Ooh and Ahh, and all of the labels that it was Playhouse Disney were gone as well. By 8:00 a.m. things looked to have been corrected as Little Einsteins aired at its normal time.
Disney Channel and Handy Manny recognize...National Flashlight Day?
We have now reached our official limit on the special 'Days' that the government puts on the calendar. I mean 'Take a Shower Day' is a good one and 'Touch Someone Else Day' sounds both pleasant and creepy, but 'National Flashlight Day'? I really have to put my foot down on this one. Especially when it's being honored by a television show, for Pete's sake!
No, NBC is not airing a 3-hour primetime special on the day (though, it certainly would help their bottom line). Disney Channel is actually the culprit this time around. On December 21st, the official 'Flashlight Day', Disney will be airing three back-to-back-to-back episodes of its Playhouse Disney series Handy Manny that feature the newest character, Flicker. For those of you who don't watch Manny on a regular basis, Flicker is a tiny Spanish-speaking flashlight that will, I guess, allow Manny and his tools to work in dark places from now on.

POTSDAM - In the head coaching debut of Chris Taylor, the Clarkson University men's soccer team defeated Moravia College 2-0 in the opening round of the North Country Classic Friday afternoon at Hantz Turf Field.
Clarkson started the game quickly, peppering the Moravia goal with shots, including two in the ninth minute that drew saves from the Moravia keeper, Billy Borland. However, the Golden Knights could not break through until the introduction of Maximilian Leetz (Bruedx, Germany). Six minutes after subbing on, Leetz beat his defender and squared a pass to Tucker Wilcox (Broadalbin, N.Y.) who calmly slotted it to the right of the keeper for the first goal of the season.
The score would remain 1-0 until the 77th minute when Leetz was able to grab a goal to go along with his assist. Kevin Calnan (Winchester, M.A.) crossed in a corner kick and the senior transfer who rose to head it into the back of the net.
Clarkson outshot Moravia 12-6 and also held a 3-2 advantage in corner kicks. Borland finished with seven saves, while Clarkson's sophomore keeper, Michael King (Verona, N.J.) collected one save and his first shutout of the season.
Clarkson returns to action this afternoon against SUNY Cortland at 1 p.m. in the final round of the North Country Classic at Hantz Turf Field.
Potsdam 1, Misericordia 1 (OT): The SUNY Potsdam men's soccer team (0-0-1) got an early goal and fought to a draw with defending MAC Freedom Conference Champion Misericordia University (0-0-1) in the first round of SUNY Plattsburgh's Cardinal Classic to open the season. Sophomore defender Chris Schrum (Manhattan, N.Y.) scored his fourth career goal for the Bears and sophomore goalie Nick Davies (Webster, N.Y.) finished with five saves.
Potsdam didn't take a shot until the 10th minute, but made the most of it. At the 9:58 mark, Schrum headed home a corner kick off the foot of senior captain Alex Minsker (Brewster, N.Y.) for a 1-0 lead. The defenses took control of the contest after the goal. Each team's defenders allowed just four shots the entire half, including Schrum's tally. The score remained the same at the break.
The Cougars' Nick von Egypt tied the score in the 54th minute after knocking down and burying a cross from in front of the goal. Shots were easier to come by in the second half, but the goals were not. Each team created a few chances with Potsdam holding an 8-7 shot advantage, but the score remained knotted at 1-1 after 90 minutes.
"They are a really good team," said Parker. "But it was a typical first game of the season. There wasn't a lot of pretty soccer. Both teams played very hard and physical in the heat and were pretty spent by overtime. Eric Cassidy (Queensbury, N.Y.) came off the bench to play very well for us and Matt Parsons (Glens Falls, N.Y.) also looked good in his first game."
The Bears edged the Cougars 14-13 in shots, but Misericordia finshed with a 5-1 advantage in corner kicks. Cougar goalie Barry Fitzgerald stopped six Potsdam shots on the afternoon.
Potsdam is back in action for the second round this afternoon at 1 p.m. against Fitchburg State.
SLU 5, Cortland 2: A three-goal second half helped push the No. 7 St. Lawrence men's soccer team past SUNY Cortland, as the Saints downed the Red Dragons 5-2 in the opening game of the 2014 Lotto Classic Tournament on Sandy MacAllaster field.
Senior captain Mark Provost, the team's top returning scorer from a season ago, and juniors Seyefe Brouk and Morgan Smith each finished with a goal and an assist on the day, while Rob Brandell and Harry Copeland also added goals for the Saints.
The Red Dragons scored in the 87th minute on set piece from the corner of the box. Nick Tata took the free kick for Cortland and found teammate Ole Daumann on the far side of the box who beat an outstretched Aaron Costello in the top right corner. The Saints keeper finished with two saves on the day, while Beauvais made seven stops for the Red Dragons.
The Saints return to Sandy MacAllaster field at 1 p.m. this afternoon for a game against Moravian College to close out the Lotto Tournament.
SUNY Canton 2, Paul Smith's 0: Former Potsdam Central standout Devin Gruneisen and Josh Geller each scored goals in the first half to lead the Kangaroos to a win over Paul Smith's in a nonconference game in Canton.

Right-wing media claimed opposition to the Affordable Care Act influenced the Virginia governor election despite polls that show the health reform law was an insignificant factor in the race.
Fox News regularly turns to serial misinformers and right-wing activists to analyze the Affordable Care Act. Here is a guide to Fox's health care "experts" and their history of misinformation.
From the October 1 edition of Fox News' Special Report:
Loading the player reg...
There's a growing movement of journalists and pundits who are rooting for the Republican-led impasse over government funding to result in a shutdown of government services. "I'm rooting for a shutdown and you should be too," writes Joshua Green in the Boston Globe. "Shut down the government!" cheers Todd Purdum in Politico. It's not that these writers are actually keen on causing economic disruption: they see it as the only recourse available to correcting the Republican political nihilism that keeps bringing us to the brink of crisis.
It's hard to begrudge them for what seems so cavalier a position -- we may have reached the point of political toxicity that drastic measures of this sort are the only remaining curatives. What is bothersome is the habit of conservative pundits who enable this political dynamic by recognizing the role people like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are playing in it, but brushing that aside and praising Cruz for exploiting it to achieve mundane, short-term political goals.
After Cruz's 21-hour non-filibuster in support of defunding Obamacare, there was widespread agreement on the left and (much of) the right that Cruz had done little beyond raising his own profile and raising the likelihood that the government would have to shut down.
Writing in Politico, National Review's Rich Lowry marveled at Cruz's speech: "After talking the talk, Ted Cruz wins." Lowry knows that Cruz's policy goals are unattainable ("farfetched to the point of absurdity") and that his politics are causing chaos in Congress at a time when it really needs to get work done, but he views that as secondary to Cruz's accomplishment of riling up conservative base voters:
The Cruz eye-rollers had plenty of occasions to roll their eyes -- perhaps no senator has caused so many colleagues to mutter under their breaths in his first eight months in the world's greatest deliberative body -- but the conservative grass roots stood up and cheered. They are desperate for gumption and imagination and, above all, fight, and Cruz delivered all three during his long, bleary-eyed hours holding forth on C-SPAN2.
We're on the precipice of shutdown because the Republicans can't get their act together, and Cruz's tactics are causing further disarray, and Cruz gets a cookie for making a small slice of the American electorate feel good about themselves?
The right is selectively quoting an Inspector General (IG) report to accuse the State Department of ignoring the recommendations from the Benghazi Accountability Review Board (ARB). In fact, the IG report noted that the State Department is making progress implementing the ARB recommendations and praised its leadership as a model for future ARB responses.
After recent reports that the Syrian government may have used chemical weapons against civilians, media figures have begun to push for U.S. military intervention in the region. But senior military leaders say that engagement could produce a negative long-term outcome.
Last month, Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, detailed possible downsides to U.S. military involvement in Syria in a letter to Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI). In addition to possible collateral damage to civilians and the loss of U.S. aircraft, Dempsey notes that a poorly planned military incursion "could inadvertently empower extremists or unleash the very chemical weapons we seek to control." Additionally, Dempsey noted that military options could cost taxpayers between $500 million to $1 billion per month.
From the August 6 edition of Special Report with Bret Baier:

Fox News promoted climate deniers and disputed the scientific consensus that climate change exists and is man-made in response to a proposal from President Obama to lower carbon emissions that contribute to the warming of the planet.
On June 25, President Obama delivered a speech where he laid out policy proposals to combat climate change, including the regulation of carbon emissions from existing power plants. Fox News immediately reacted by hosting prominent climate deniers and dismissing the reality of climate change.
America Live host Megyn Kelly cut away from Obama's speech after several minutes, saying that Obama's assertion that "the planet is warming and human activity is contributing to it" is "not the full story." Kelly then turned to climate denier Chris Horner of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, an organization that has financial ties to the fossil fuel industry. Kelly and Horner both pushed the false notion that recent short-term temperature trends undermine the scientific consensus that climate change is ongoing.
On Special Report with Bret Baier, Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer reacted to the speech by also pushing the idea that recent temperature trends undermine the long-term warming trend.
Later on Special Report, Fox contributor Stephen Hayes responded to Obama's speech by perpetuating the myth that there was scientific acceptance of global cooling in the 1970s.
Your World with Neil Cavuto hosted weather forecaster and climate denier Joe Bastardi, who incorrectly claimed that Obama was wrong when he said in his speech that the "12 warmest years in recorded history have all come in the last 15 years."
Opening The Five, co-host Greg Gutfeld said climate skeptics "were right all along" and said Obama was "denying science" in his climate change speech.
And on Hannity, Fox contributor Liz Cheney dismissed the science behind climate change when she said that Obama is "using phony science to kill jobs." She continued, saying that "the science is just simply bogus."
But despite Fox's efforts to deny it, the fact is that the vast majority of climate scientists agree that climate change is occurring. Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists that publish peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change agree that global temperatures have risen and that "human activity is a significant contributing factor" in the rising temperatures. Eighty-four percent of scientists acknowledge that the planet is warming due to human activity, and nearly 200 scientific organizations from around the world have made public statements acknowledging that manmade climate change is real.
Fox News dishonestly dismissed a Democratic congressman's statement that the mystery of who began the IRS' inappropriate targeting of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status has been solved.
Congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, appeared on CNN's State of the Union on June 9 where he explained that a Cincinnati-based IRS manager told congressional interviewers that a screener under his supervision brought a tea party group's application for tax-exempt status to his attention, and that he then sent the case to a Washington office for assistance. In a letter to Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), chairman of the committee, Cummings further explained that the IRS manager "said he then instructed his team of screeners to identify similar cases" and that the manager told interviewers that "he took this action on his own." The screener under this manager's supervision was also interviewed, and he "acknowledged developing search terms" that that Inspector General's office called "inappropriate" in its report. This is consistent with the Inspector General's finding that the IRS Determinations United in Cincinnati "developed and used inappropriate criteria to identify applications from organizations with the words Tea Party in their names."
But Fox's coverage of Cummings' statement withheld all of this information from the network's viewers. Fox & Friends merely aired Cummings' conclusion on CNN that "the case is solved" before giving Virginia Attorney General and Republican candidate for governor Ken Cuccinelli a platform to air his grievances against the IRS. America's Newsroom similarly aired only Cummings' conclusion and brought on Fox contributor Stephen Hayes to comment, with Hayes also refraining from detailing what the IRS manager told interviewers while questioning why Cummings is putting so much emphasis on the manager's answers.
Fox has been pushing the discredited assertion that the White House or IRS officials in Washington drove the IRS' actions, claiming that partial transcripts of interviews with IRS employees prove that Washington was behind the inappropriate targeting, even though Republicans have admitted they lacked evidence for that. Fox also said that a former IRS commissioner's visits to the White House show that the agency was coordinating with the White House to target conservative groups, when in fact he mostly met with staffers charged with implementing the Affordable Care Act.
Fox News distorted the testimony of Attorney General Eric Holder to claim that he committed perjury before the House Judiciary Committee last week.
It was recently revealed that the Justice Department obtained a search warrant for the communications records of Fox News reporter James Rosen in an effort to track down a leaker who provided him with classified information on North Korea in 2009. On May 15, during a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) asked Holder about the warrant and the potential for prosecuting journalists accused of publishing classified information that they obtained from government sources. Holder responded (emphasis added):
With regard to the potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material. That is not something that I've ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be a wise policy.
On May 24, the Justice Department released a statement clarifying Holder's involvement in the approval process for the warrants in question (emphasis added):
"The Department takes seriously the First Amendment right to freedom of the press. In recognition of this, the Department took great care in deciding that a search warrant was necessary in the Kim matter, vetting the decision at the highest levels of the Department, including discussions with the Attorney General. After extensive deliberations, and after following all applicable laws, regulations and policies, the Department sought an appropriately tailored search warrant under the Privacy Protection Act. And a federal magistrate judge made an independent finding that probable cause existed to approve the search warrant."
Fox News' Special Report on May 24 argued that these statements were inconsistent and concluded that the Attorney General had previously lied to the Judiciary Committee and thus had committed perjury. Host Shannon Bream began the show stating, "It's his story, but he's not sticking to it," claiming that Holder has "chang[ed] his tune" on his involvement in the scrutiny of journalists. Contributor Steve Hayes claimed that Holder's two statements were "incongruent" and Charles Krauthammer speculated that it may be "a case of perjury."
In fact, the statements are not "incongruent" whatsoever. Holder's comments to the Judiciary referred to the possibility of prosecuting journalists for publishing classified information, but that is not the crime the Justice Department's warrant accused Rosen of committing. DOJ investigators were concerned with Rosen's solicitation of classified information, not any subsequent publication of it. Wired explained (emphasis added):
According to the affidavit (.pdf), FBI Agent Reginald Reyes told the judge there was probable cause to believe that Rosen had violated the Espionage Act by serving "as an aider, abettor and/or co-conspirator" in the leak. The Espionage Act is the same law that former Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning is accused of violating when he leaked information to the secret-spilling site WikiLeaks.
To support his assertion, Reyes quoted an email exchange between Kim and Rosen, in which Rosen told him that he was interested in "breaking news ahead of my competitors" and had a particular interest in "what intelligence is picking up." He also told Kim, "I'd love to see some internal State Department analyses."
The suggestion was that Rosen broke the law by soliciting information from Kim, something that all journalists do routinely with sources.
Nonetheless, the federal judge found there was probable cause to believe that Rosen was a co-conspirator and approved the warrant.
In other words, Holder's on-the-record denial of involvement in any prosecution of news organizations for publishing classified information in no way conflicts with any knowledge he may have possessed or action the DOJ may have taken against reporters for soliciting said information. Fox's perjury accusations simply don't align with the facts.
Fox News figures are using newly released internal emails to falsely suggest that the intelligence community never connected the attack in Benghazi, Libya to protests against an anti-Islam video. In fact, every version of the talking points, including the CIA's original draft, linked the attack to protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, which were part of a series of global riots and protests that were partly in response to increased awareness of the video.
On May 15, the White House released more than 100 pages of emails about the September 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. The Los Angeles Times noted of the emails: "Even the very first version of the talking points suggests that the attack was inspired by the protests in Cairo over the anti-Muslim video, a perfectly plausible supposition at the time. That undermines the Republican claim that administration officials concocted the notion of a Benghazi protest to protect the president from a perception that Al Qaeda was ascendant again." Indeed, the original version of the talking points produced by the CIA's Office of Terrorism Analysis stated:
The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the U.S. diplomatic post and subsequently its annex. There are indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations.
But Fox News figures have ignored this to predictably use the emails to criticize the Obama administration for misleading Americans when officials publicly linked the Benghazi attacks to the anti-Islam video.
It was just ten days ago that Stephen Hayes of The Weekly Standard reported "fresh evidence emerged that senior Obama administration officials knowingly misled the country about what had happened in the days following the assaults" last September on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya.
Hayes' report was based on email exchanges described in a politicized report issued by House Republicans along with a timeline detailing when the emails were sent and the names of two of the participants provided most likely by Republican sources on Capitol Hill. Jonathan Karl of ABC News would later write a similar piece after receiving summaries of those emails, likely from a similar source. Never mind that this conversation is in itself a sideshow from the real question of the actual mistakes that led to the tragic death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others in Benghazi as laid out in the Accountability Review Board report. The DC media quickly swarmed into the sort of feeding frenzy phenomenon native to Washington. Finally, after months of fruitless effort to uncover evidence of an attempt by the administration to politicize the Benghazi talking points, the right thought they had proof to justify their conspiracies.
Fast forward a few days and the email conversations between those editing the talking points are available for public view. And as it turns out the perceptions drawn by Hayes and Karl did not match reality.
On May 15 the White House released the full email chain regarding the much-discussed Benghazi talking points, and in doing so deflated conservative and Republican allegations that the administration had engineered a politically minded "cover-up" of the circumstances surrounding the September 2012 attack on the diplomatic facility. The release of those talking points was spurred in no small part by separate reports from The Weekly Standard and ABC News that wrongly suggested the White House's overriding concern in editing those talking points was helping the State Department dodge political attacks from Republicans.
Now that the actual emails are in the public record, we can go back and see exactly what errors ABC and The Weekly Standard made that helped lead us to this point.
(For an easier-to-navigate version of the email chain, check out Yahoo News' interactive feature.)
Weekly Standard
Weekly Standard writer Stephen F. Hayes' article for the May 13 edition of the magazine noted that after the initial draft of the talking points was sent, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland "responded to raise 'serious concerns' about the draft." Hayes, working primarily off a House GOP report on Benghazi, wrote that Nuland "worried that members of Congress would use the talking points to criticize the State Department for 'not paying attention to Agency warnings.'" That was, we now know, an incomplete description of Nuland's email, and made it seem as though her only concern was protecting that State Department from political attacks.
Right-wing media are using a congressional hearing to push new myths about the Obama administration's response to the September 11, 2012 attacks on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya. In fact, these myths are discredited by previous congressional reports and testimony, which show that the politicized nature of the hearings come from right-wing media and Congressional Republicans, that the military could not have rescued personnel from the second attack, that the administration was in constant communication at all levels during the attacks, and that the intelligence community believed there was a link to an anti-Islam video at the time of the attacks.
Fox News contributor Steve Hayes claimed that federal agencies "never" overestimate the costs of regulation to suggest that a new rule to reduce smog-creating pollutants will cost more than the Environmental Protection Agency predicts. But studies have found that the EPA previously overestimated the cost of regulating the same pollutant, and has historically overestimated costs.
The EPA estimates that reducing the amount of sulfur in gasoline, which contributes to smog, will add less than a penny to the price of a gallon of gasoline. Hayes suggested on Special Report that the EPA's estimate is too low, saying "of course there is going to be more cost":
But a study by the financial analysis firm Navigant Economics prepared for The Emissions Control Technology Association found that the EPA overestimated the costs of previous sulfur regulations:
Regression analysis shows that Tier 2 regulations, which required a reduction in the average sulfur content of gasoline from 300 ppm to 30 ppm, had no material impact on the retail price of gasoline.
The EPA estimated that Tier 2 would increase the average cost of refining gasoline by about two cents per gallon, and that Tier 3 will increase the average cost of refining gasoline by one cent per gallon. Because Tier 2 had no material impact on the retail price of gasoline, it is unlikely Tier 3--projected to generate private costs half the size of those generated by Tier 2--will have any impact either.
And a 2010 review by Resources for the Future found that the EPA "tend[s] to overestimate the total costs of regulations," noting that the agency overestimated costs for 14 of the rules it examined and only underestimated costs for 3 rules.
Industry estimates of regulatory costs have been shown to be even more overblown in retrospective studies. Keeping with this historical trend, the American Petroleum Institute claims that EPA's latest rule would raise gas prices by 6 to 9 cents, but its analysis didn't assess the rule that was ultimately proposed by the EPA, which provides significant flexibility to refineries.

The matter of equality between women and men has however became an obsolete and even taboo subject. This issue is now part of the social conversations, listed among subjects like "Corruption" or "Global Warming" or "Money doesn't bring happiness" and so on. The subject has been debated so frequently throughout the passing years, that now it is only a matter of principle, serving as subject of conversation among the ones who feel like uttering their opinions. That's pretty much of what I'm going to do next.
First of all, I find it imperative to emphasize the characteristics that make women and men so different. It's more than obvious that by nature's default, women and men were given different features. In fact, people are having their own particularities that make each individual unique. Only known facts so far, but what I need to say is that these natural differences can't be allowed to be the reason of social discrimination. For example, it's normal for a woman not to be wanted as a carpenter, as women have less physical strength. But if the woman not only that she proves the opposite, but she also proves to be talented for the job, I can't see any reason for her not to become a carpenter. This kind of discriminations can't be allowed when it comes to natural differences between men and women.
And if the education system has become more and more efficient, providing women the opportunity to learn and specialize in many fields, statistics still say that the number of excellent specialists is smaller for women than for men. But we must ask ourselves why this is happening Could women be less native gifted? Or could it be the social pressure that doesn't allow them to express themselves? Or may the statistics research have been made by the men who do not wish to lose their supremacy? It's difficult to answer And even if women have better scores when it comes to school, men are always ranked better and have a higher prestige. For example, a male engineer is often more appreciated than a female engineer. This is happening because people are guided by stereotype thinking when judging men and women. It's true that stereotype thinking will always be present and will always make the mass of people an easy target for manipulation, but when it comes to the relation men - women, this way of thinking does nothing but putting the image of women in society in dark shadow. This is obviously wrong!
So, work is still discriminating for the two sexes, even if the discrimination is not an official one. For example, if the level of women's working activity has increased since 1970, they are still the victims of unemployment, of bad jobs, more than men are anyway. These inequalities are also present in the private life, as women are the victims of a pervert social progress. For example, even if women are more and more independent in their couple life, there are more and more single and divorced women due to that. Why? Well, there are many reasons. One of them could be the fact that working women don't have time for a successful private life. Another reason could be the fact that some men feel intimidated by some women's qualities and can't stand being inferior to them. At the same time there is a fragile compatibility between motherhood and career and the family policies that exist encourage women to give up working for a domestic way of living. This way, women find themselves forced to give up their independence.
But even a family life without having children means compromise to women. It's natural for the women who have a full-time job not to have the strength to do all that housewives do. The woman's duties at home are more numerous than the men's, but at the same time, the equality between women and men force them to work the same time and way at their jobs. This situation is due to the fact that there are still a lot of men who think in the terms of the patriarchate system.
There are also men who treat women socially right, but this situation isn't quite the happiest, as they somehow forget their manners or act thinking something like: " If we're equal and we do our own laundry, why should I hold her coat or open the door for her?!" This is also an abnormal situation. While in the first case the problem was that women were equal to men only when it came to work, in the second one the issue is about the equality that takes away women's right of being respected as women.
In conclusion, what the feminist movements have achieved is not all good. It's obvious that they didn't only establish the normal equality between the sexes, but also the abnormal one the one that gives women a lot of issues to solve.

The Supreme Court cleared the cancer-stricken president,kwho is recovering from a fourth round of cancer surgery in Havana, to indefinitely postpone his re-inauguration and said his existing administration could remain in office until he is well enough to take the oath. The government has said that he is recovering from complications from surgery, most recently a severe pulmonary infection that had resulted in a 'respiratory insufficiency.'

recurring tasks but appear as completed when done for a single day.
Some tasks need to be shown as completed but need followup later (ex. tomorrow), how this can be done without recreated a new task with same title (example: a task to make a call to know a project stutus. This is done and need to be completed for today but also need tomorrow's followup as the project didn't close). may you advise?
All responses
Hello Mohamed,
Unfortunately, there's no direct way to do this. You could create a parent task regarding handling this certain action and add two sub-tasks to it - one reg. the completion of the project and one reg. the follow-up. This is the only way to see one part of the main task completed and the other open.
If you wouldn't mind not seeing the task as completed, then you'd have more options, for example:
- Adding a @waiting or @followup label to it which would show you that this tasks has been handled, but should be checked on later, but also it would allow you to search for the @followup label to see all tasks that are "waiting".
- Adding a task note about a follow-up. If you usually don't use notes, just seeing the note icon would alert you that this task is waiting for the next action.
Best regards,
Thank you
