How SOPA Creates The Architecture For Much More Widespread Censorship

How SOPA Creates The Architecture For Much More Widespread Censorship
"This is a major concern with SOPA/PIPA, and one that supporters of the bill keep trying to brush off, because they have no good answer to these concerns other than "trust us, the US government doesn't want to censor." I'd like to believe that's true. In fact, it very likely is true for many people in the government. But the scenarios Sanchez predicts are not out of line with what we already see regularly today. It happens so frequently, in fact, that it's difficult to imagine how Congress won't expand the law to make use of this censorship apparatus."

Winter is coming. Or, more accurately, it's here. Although there were no major power outages reported, the weather affected every avenue of commerce, industry, and education from Thursday into Sunday. Grocers were short on supply. Schools closed. Businesses closed. And with every passing hour, God's vengeance rained in the form of gentle, white, frozen flakes of wrath.
For those of you who were comatose the last five days, or for those of you who have neglected to look outside in that same time span, let me get you up to speed: It was balls cold. It snowed a lot. And it's going to happen again. But this time, we see see it coming: We can imagine what to expect, because we literally just unburied ourselves from it. And with this, comes greater preparation. Food, water, blah blah what are you going to watch? You're good friend has got you covered. But, if you don't care for their advice, might I suggest the nine best baseball movies ever made? Well, here they are:
9. Eight Men Out
Like the Crime of the Century, it is hard for us to imagine just how much the nation latched on to every word regarding the Black Sox scandal. Although I feel like the film takes some severe liberties with the facts (particularly in how they handle Shoeless Joe Jackson), it does a very good job of humanizing the individuals who participated and benefited from the fixing scheme.
8. Bull Durham
I might get staunchly rebuffed for having this one so low. But, to be honest, it just doesn't really do it for me. Maybe it's Tim Robbins. Or Robert Wuhl. Or that I don't believe for a second that Kevin Costner, at his size, would be a catcher. It does have its brilliance and insight, though. And as a portrait of the minor league system, it is peerless (although Sugar does an excellent job in showing how kids, especially young Latin and Dominican players, can get eaten up by the system).
7. The Sandlot
Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez, Squints, Yeah-Yeah, and the rest of the gang litter this slightly hammy piece of Americana set in the summer of 1962, but there wasn't a better expression of the sort of youthful ties and bonds that can be formed on a neighborhood team, in a recreation league, or on those long summer hauls on traveling teams. The fact that I can still name every guy who played on my little league team growing up is a testament to that.
6. 61*
Much like Eight Men Out, I think there are some liberties taken with the factual history in order to promote a better story, but really, the saga of Roger Maris in the summer of 1961 is an amazing and prescient story of media sensationalism and distortion, as well as one man's seemingly reluctant journey to overtake a milestone. Although it was made for HBO at the turn of the millennium, it boasts a fine cast (Barry Pepper, Thomas Jane, Anthony Michael Hall) and was directed from the overly-detailed and Yankee-loving perspective of Billy Crystal.
5. Bad News Bears
Come on. Anyone who has spent time coaching anything can relate to Walter Matthau's Buttermaker. And anyone who has ever spent time as a child playing on a team of any kind can immediately recognize the various persona and personalities at play among the kids. Not only that, but it holds well as a capsule of a different time and place (specifically, the mid-70's) while maintaining a sense of relevance regarding parent/adolescent psychology.
4. Major League
It's the funniest movie about baseball that will ever be made. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of star power (for the time) that made it into the picture: Sheen, Snipes, Berenger, Bernsen, Haysbert. It even touches on themes commonly expressed in the modern scope of team management that many Royals fans should be intrigued by: clubhouse chemistry, fickle ownership who seems to want the team to fail, a clubhouse diva whose price tag and reputation far exceed his talent level, etc.
3. Field of Dreams
I can recall four great baseball speeches from cinema: this movie contains two of them. The first, an aged Moonlight Graham, discusses his wish to play just one more time. The second, and perhaps the most popular baseball speech in film history, comes from Terrance Mann, discussing baseball's place in America's (and the World's) past, present, and future.
2. A League of Their Own
This is the kind of baseball movie that has everything. Humor, sincerity, historical and cultural perspectives, a sibling rivalry dynamic, and Jon Lovitz being generally, well, Jon Lovitz-y. I gravitated to this film as a child mainly due to the perceived similarities between myself and Kit; living in the shadow of the perception of a sibling who is better than you at something you greatly desire to excel in. It doesn't hurt that Tom Hanks has another one of those Hanksian performances he was so famous for in the 1990s. It also happens to have perhaps my favorite line in the history of baseball cinema:
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard, is what makes it great."
1. The Natural
Altered ending and all, I don't think there is a movie that has ever been made that captures the whole of baseball better than The Natural did. Redford's performance is pitch-perfect, the weight and gravity of the game and life expressed eloquently on his every word and deed. The lowly Knights represent so much of what was wrong with baseball, its politics, and the way it treated its players. But, at its heart, there is a deep admiration, respect, and love for the game itself that seeps into every inch of the screen. It truly is a remarkable film.

Creating: Quilts of the Lakota
Wokage: Lakota Wicahi Owinja Kin
February 9 – April 7, 2013
PHILADELPHIA — Creating: Quilts of the Lakota presents twenty eye-dazzling 20th century quilts from The Heritage Center at Red Cloud Indian School, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota. Several of the quilts in the exhibition are exhibited publicly and published for the first time. The exhibition and related catalogue reflect a three-year collaboration between the Arthur Ross Gallery and The Heritage Center.
Mary V. Bordeaux, a SICANGU LAKOTA and guest curator, selected the superb Star quilts that reflect just a fraction of The Heritage Center's collection. In the exhibition catalogue Ms. Bordeaux notes: "When receiving a quilt…a Lakota person feels a sense of pride and respect, and those feelings are embodied in each and every quilt."
To add historical and cultural context, 19th-century Lakota artifacts, including moccasins, a cradleboard, and parfleche boxes, are included in the exhibition and lent by the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
These artifacts reflect Native American sewing traditions prior to the introduction of quilting in the 1880s by missionaries at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Visitors will discover both Lakota quilting techniques and as learn more about Lakota traditions.
This exhibition promotes interdisciplinary learning, engages new audiences, and involves Penn faculty and students.
Tours of the exhibition will be offered on weekend afternoons at 1 pm to the public.
Additional support for Creating: Quilts of the Lakota and the exhibition catalogue is provided by: Mrs. Arthur Ross, Mr. George Gillespie, the Arthur Ross Exhibition Fund, the Friends of the Arthur Ross Gallery, the Philadelphia Cultural Fund, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
Unless otherwise noted, events are at the Arthur Ross Gallery. For details call 215-898-3617 or email email@example.com.
Saturday, February 9, 11:00 am Artist Talk with Lakota quilter Janyce Trask

Recently, I made a stencil inspired by Quadrille's Edo pattern. Each of these little squares are about a inch and a half in length... it was an intense pattern! I don't have the "After" shots yet, but you guys are going to LOVE the end result. The pattern is in the exposed toy closet walls, but the rest of the walls of the nursery are grasscloth, with modern baby furniture and some framed records on the wall. It's going to be an awesome nursery. The designer is Heather of HHR Interiors...always perfect, if you ask me!
Anyway, I had a couple of progress shots I thought I'd share with you guys...
here is me making the stencil (via Instagram...my instagram username is kfddesigns if you care to follow!)
It was pretty crazy, cutting all those tiny patterns.
First round...I ended up having to do about 5 founds of touch ups. It was crazy, but the results were good. Stay tuned!

Fantastic! Can's wait to see the after! :)ReplyDelete
You seriously need to get a silhouette machine to cut stencils out with! It would make your life a lot easier. My sister has one and we used it to cut out a lace design on 500 wedding invites for our friend. Perfect every time.ReplyDelete
Oh! And this is awesome btw. I love modern nurseries.ReplyDelete
I do need a silhouette machine! It would be WAY easier. This took me about an hour to cut, and I would've liked it to be more perfect.ReplyDelete
love it Kristen!! Such detail, looks like it would take forever (but worth it!) Can't wait to see more :)ReplyDelete

Jury to take more time to decide Baumgartner case
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A federal jury will return Thursday to continue deliberating in the case of a former Knox County Criminal Court judge accused of lying to cover up a drug conspiracy.
WBIR-TV (http://on.wbir.com/W7Uqwt ) reports jurors considering the case against Richard Baumgartner deliberated all day Wednesday without reaching a verdict. They got the case Tuesday.
Prosecutors claim Baumgartner lied to protect his drug dealer and mistress.
Baumgartner's defense has argued that the ex-judge was a pill addict and unfaithful husband but his actions weren't a federal crime.
In March 2011, Baumgartner pleaded guilty in state court to official misconduct for buying pills from a felon on probation in his court. He resigned from the bench but did not go to jail or lose his pension.

Hello all,
I've been lurking on the bf for a few years now and I've just decided to finally join. I live in the suburbs of Chicago and have been riding for about 5.5 years. I used to work as a mechanic for a few years while I was in my undergrad but I now work at an alternative high school. I have track and a cx bike and I'm looking to get a road bike one of these days. I just joined TeamMack Racing so maybe that will motivate me. I look forward to hearing from all of you. Cheers.

The Bachelorette: Eliminated Bachelor, Hunter, Discusses His 'Awkward' Date With Ali Fedotowsky
June 11, 2010 11:00 AM by Nancy Floyd
On Monday night, viewers of ABC's The Bachelorette watched the cringe-inducing one-on-one date between Ali Fedotowsky and ukulele-playing, Hunter. After repeatedly calling her 'baby' and 'darling,' he finally went in for the kiss…on her shoulder. It wasn't too surprising to fans that Ali didn't give him a rose after the awkward encounter. Apparently, Hunter wasn't too shocked either. Keep reading to hear his side of the story and how "awkward" the date really was…
Hunter charmed Ali Fedotowsky with his clever and comical ukulele-song on the first night of ABC's The Bachelorette, but their one-on-one date this week proved that there just wasn't any romantic chemistry between the two. Hunter seemed to be really into the date–calling Ali pet names and trying to move in for a kiss–while Ali seemed to be feeling nothing but discomfort. With a little time to reflect, Hunter acknowledges the awkwardness between the two and thinks it was time for him to go.
"It was less awkward than how it was shown, but it was still awkward," Hunter says of his date with The Bachelorette. "I don't think there was any romantic spark at all, and that's kind of what it was in the end. You could tell between both of us when we realized that, at least for that night, there wasn't anything there."
Hunter also adds that he wasn't too heartbroken to be eliminated from ABC's The Bachelorette. "When I left I was definitely happy to get back home. It was something where I was pumped to be there, but when it was done I was relieved as well," Hunter says. "Would things have changed between Ali and I if I had more time? That I really don't know. I might have just kept on shutting down more and more."
Hunter also agrees with former Bachelorette star, DeAnna Pappas' theory that Ali Fedotowsky might not have selected anyone in the end. "If she didn't find the person that she saw herself with for the rest of her life then I would see her not picking anyone," he says. "She let me go because she didn't see anything there. I could see her doing the same thing with the guys, even it was down to the final two."

Also it might also be the word "new". While Bonneville has had a
different coach in each of the last 4 years, I believe that the first coach in
that line would be Matt Williams who coached for a number of years. So he would
not have been considered a "new" head coach in his last year.
But that would imply that Ben Lomond has had 5 different head coaches in the last 5 years.

OK, I cheated and looked at the articles. Ben Lomond did not have 5 coaches in 5 years. It has had 4 coaches in 4 years. The 4th coach back was also a multi year coach. So Just Saying 2 is right. The answer to the coaches question is both Bonneville and Ben Lomond.

The Vikings claimed offensive tackle J'Marcus Webb off waivers from the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Webb started 44 games over the last three seasons in Chicago. He was released Friday after struggling in the preseason and losing his starting job. The Vikings terminated the contract of offensive lineman Troy Kropog to clear a roster spot.
The Vikings signed running back Joe Banyard, guard Travis Bond, defensive tackle Everett Dawkins, tight end Chase Ford, offensive tackle Kevin Murphy and wide receivers Rodney Smith and Adam Thielen to the practice squad on Sunday. The Vikings open up the regular season on Sunday against the Lions in Detroit.

Hi, I wonder if you can help. I have a lot of trouble logging
Resolved Question:
I wonder if you can help. I have a lot of trouble logging on to Safari. Not every time but too often when I try to call up safari I get the spinning Beachball. Just now i tried and was successful but when I went to open my bookmarks the Beachball appeared. What's going on? and how can I fix it?

If the following suggestions work, please let me know and you can Accept the answer (and if possible, leave positive feedback). If not, please DO NOT Accept the answer. Instead, let me know and we'll try some more things or I can refer you to another Expert who may be able to help you further.
First, there are a few questions I'd like you to answer so I can better help understand the problem.
1) What type of Mac (ie iMac, PowerBook, etc) and how old is it?
2) What is the Operating System (ie 9.2, 10.5.8, etc)? This info can be found in the apple menu, "About this Mac" (if it is running).
3) Have you recently installed anything new, updated the computer, upgraded OS or software? Did you start noticing the problems with Safari after a specific event took place?
4) Do you have Firefox? It's a free application, which I HIGHLY recommend. It is a more stable browser than Safari in my opinion and often runs more smoothly for most mac users. I suggest giving it a try as long as your computer meets the
minimum system requirements
Back to the Safari issue, I would suggest you run some general maintenance on the computer. It is an obvious square-one approach. I normally suggest this first because it is good practice plus if we dig too deep into a problem and simple measures could have repaired it in the beginning we'll be kicking ourselves later... This is going to be a long email so I suggest printing it out for your reference.
First let's reset the PRAM on the computer.
1) Shut down the computer.
2) While the computer is shut down, locate these keys: command (has an apple on it), option (sometimes called alt), P, and R.
3) Turn the computer on, then press and hold Command-Option-P-R before the gray screen appears.
4) Hold these keys down until you hear the startup sound a total of 3 times.
5) Release the keys.
Next, let's try a Safe Boot. This will perform several clean up procedures that may be affecting the machine's performance and startup.
1) Shut down your computer completely.
2) Start up the computer and immediately after the startup chime, press and hold the Shift key
3) Once the gray Apple and progress indicator appear, release the Shift key
4) Note: Startup will likely take substantially longer than normal
5) In Mac OS 10.4 or later, you will have to login to your account, even if it normally does so automatically.
6) Shut down the computer.
Now let's check / repair the disk permissions. Although this doesn't fix all problems it is a great way to start when working on a machine, besides it often cleans up any other smaller problems you may or may not be experiencing.
1) Restart the machine.
2) Before you have opened any programs, go to Applications / Utilities / Disk Utilities.
3) Run the Verify Permissions, then Repair any errors it finds.
4) Shut down the computer.
5) Restart your computer, how is Safari operating now?
What version of Safari are you using? This can be found in the Safari menu (about Safari) if/when the program is running.

Sorry to take so long answering, but I'm running errands all day today.
1. Intel Mac coming up to 4 years.
3. Recently I got a new Modem from AT&T. Also finally bought an external hard drive.
But this problem has been showing up for at least 2 months.
4. I do have Firefox, But I didn't start using that until a year ago so most of my bookmarks are on Safari and all my password XXXXX Also Firefox doesn't have that handy Return to Search Results thing that Safari has. Right now i'm using Firefox to communicate with you.
replied 6 years ago.
So Firefox is running ok, the problem is with Safari only?
Before we go any further, I would suggest you use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner (
) to create a restorable backup of your Hard Drive to an External Hard Drive. This free program will make a mirrored copy of your hard drive in it's current state that you can go back to if things go south after the following changes. I do this personally before I perform any kind of install, update or major change to my system.
Is Safari up to date with the newest version available for 10.4.11? If there is a new version available it would show up in Software Update.
Were you able to run through the PRAM reset, Safeboot and Permissions repair?
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 6 years ago.
Safari version 4.0.3
Did not do the other steps, thought you wanted my answers to your question before i followed your instructions.
replied 6 years ago.
That's ok. Go ahead and run the above maintenance on the machine.
Were you experiencing problems with Safari before you upgraded to Safari 4? Many users have experienced issues with the new version of Safari and have either returned to Safari 3 or switched to Firefox because of them. I currently do not use Safari at all unless I have to, so I am only going by what I've read and dealt with here with users with questions such as your own.
Also, if you haven't done so already, in Firefox, you can go to File / Import and import all of your bookmarks and settings from Safari. That would at least make your current use of Firefox more pleasant until we can fix Safari.

Followed the first command and the computer only made the startup sound twice, I kept the keys held down for over a minute.
replied 6 years ago.
It can take a while for it to recycle through for the chime to sound. A minute between chimes is kind of long, but not unheard of. Go ahead and move on to the next step. You should be fine.

I tried turning the computer on and then holding down the keys mentioned but I heard the stat up sound only twice. Now what?
replied 6 years ago.
That's fine. Not a problem. You have to hold the keys down for quite a while to hear the third and fourth sound. You can go ahead and skip to the Safeboot now though. Hearing the chme twich should be sufficient. Just be warned, the Safeboot may take a while (5 to 20 minutes).

Okay. A time line for these actions is pretty handy.
You say I should skip the Safeboot?

No, skip
the Safeboot. Sorry, I worded it a little funny. Run the Safeboot then the Permissions Repair.

Safe Boot went fine.
Checking and repairing went okay till I got to Verify Permissions and Repair errors. Wasn't sure what I was doing. fudged it and hopefully things are ok.
Safari seems fine, but not sure if it'll last.

Great! I am sure you did it correctly. Especially if Safari is running properly so far. Let me know if there are any changes.

Learn how to speak in public with Marlborough Toastmasters (From This Is Wiltshire)
Learn how to speak in public with Marlborough Toastmasters
6:00pm Sunday 25th May 2014 in
Toastmasters are looking for new members to join their expanding group, based in Marlborough.
The Toastmasters, an international organisation that teaches public speaking and leadership skills, launched its town group last October.
The group has ten members but, in order to affiliate to the organisation, it needs at least 20.
Group president Elizabeth Hendry founded the section after belonging to one in St Albans.
She said: "I'd done presentations and it was never a problem, so it was not a question of standing up in front of an audience.
"When I joined Business Networking International, I had to do a one-minute set speech and I shook and I just absolutely went to pieces. Now I realise it's because I didn't know how to write the speech, so I wasn't confident.
"When I went to my first Toastmasters meeting with a friend, I thought, 'I've got to do this; it's just so fantastic'."
The meetings follow a set format, starting with two-minute unprepared speeches, then has set speeches and evaluations.
Leadership roles include toastmaster, time keeper and evaluators.
Ms Hendry said: "Toastmasters is about helping people to gain self-confidence."
The group meets every other Thursday at Marlborough fire station, starting at 7.15pm.
To attend a meeting, visit merlinsmound.d71.org

Not Intelligent, By Design...
Due to some activity by those nutty bloggers over at (of all places) redstate.org, an item from Jon Hurdle at Reuters came to our attention earlier today about how Rick Santorum "differed Thursday with President Bush's support for teaching an alternative to the theory of evolution known as 'intelligent design.'"
"I think I would probably tailor that a little more than what the president has suggested...I'm not comfortable with intelligent design being taught in the science classroom."
I guess Rick doesn't care that this is a 180-degree turn from what he said in The Washington Times back on March 14, 2002 --
"Research has shown that the odds that even one small protein molecule has been created by chance is 1 in a billion. Thus, some larger force or intelligence, or what some call agent causation, seems like a viable cause for creating information systems such as the coding of DNA. A number of scientists contend that alternate theories regarding the origins of the human species including that of a greater intelligence are possible.
"Therefore, intelligent design is a legitimate scientific theory that should be taught in science classes.
"Yet, opponents of intelligent design contend that by including the theory in the new teaching standards, the separation of church and state will be weakened. This is false. Proponents of intelligent design are not trying to teach religion via science, but are trying to establish the validity of their theory as a scientific alternative to Darwinism."
That's an article he wrote, by the way, not some reporter misquoting him out of context.
He either doesn't care about this incredible flip-flop, or he hasn't yet heard of the Internet, where just about anyone can find stuff he wrote three years ago in about 30 seconds.
To read more about Santorum and the issue of "intelligent design," read the SantorumExposed.com issue page titled "Why does Rick Santorum want to leave teaching a world-class science curriculum behind?"

What incredible shamelessness! i'm sure he thought that just the right thing to say to an "NPR audience" would be the opposite of what he wrote for the "Washington Times audience." That way everyone will buy his book and he'll finally be a millionaire who can ride off into the sunset with his fellow ignorant cowboy to take advantage of all the tax policies he's been voting for...
Excellent observation about Rick's tendency to adjust his views for the audience.
Check my column: "I Feel a Foul and Frigid Wind (Every time Rick Santorum Opens His Mouth)." We detail similar flip-flops on Hillary Clinton and Terri Schiavo.
If God had wanted Man to have a great memory, he would've given us bigger brains. The Internet is an abomination.
Todd, hilarious! Seriously, we humans are so incredibly imperfect... hell, all animals are pretty weird and screwed up. What intelligence designed the appendix? What intelligence invented cancer?
#2.1 Christopher Fahey (Link) on 2005-08-05 08:08 (Reply)
Cancer would need to be invented, if it did not already exist.
I wonder what he really thinks and believes. When he flip-flops around this way, I start to think maybe he's "acting" his way to fame, fortune and power. Which is really sad. And maybe sick & twisted, too.
Not Intelligent, by Design
Response to
Wake up ALL People worried about science and the Religious Right.
As stated by Senator Rick, in an article he wrote for the Washington Times:
In order to protect intellectual freedom in the classroom from the dangers of political correctness, I drafted an amendment to an education bill that emphasizes how students studying controversial issues in science, such as biological evolution, should be allowed to learn about competing interpretations. Teachers have a constitutional right to teach scientific controversies so long as the discussion is about science, not religion or philosophy. Teachers must teach these theories, even if some believe they have religious or philosophical implications. There is no reason to ignore or trivialize scientific issues involving controversial theories, regardless of their implications for religion or philosophy.
The barn door is open. Don't worry about stopping alternate theories. It's a waste of time and energy. The reality is to adopt the truly untasteful, yet very effective strategies of the Right.
I intend to start this with a scientific theory that attempts to explain the mental deficiencies of people like our Senator Rick.
A name for the group would help. Right wing nut job has been taken already. It should make a good acronym to ease the minds of those who would oppose it. Maybe religious extremists against reason-REAR, global war against religious extremists-GWARE, human beings war against religious extremism-BEWARE.
Whatever the name the intent is the same
My theory is that slavish devotion to any religion results in the underdevelopment of the ability to reason. This deficiency has resulted in many documented cases of mass hysteria and mass delusion, Historical evidence abounds. A few examples would be biblical acceptance of slavery before Christ and as justification for slavery in the US, sectarian violence in Northern Ireland, the violence and motives for the creation of India and Pakistan, the continuing violence of Sunni and Shite muslims, and last but not least the "debate" over Intelligent Design.
I propose that the scientific community set up a rigorous system to examine this and other historical information in detail. I also propose, as suggested by Senator Rick, that this examination not focus on the religion but that as stated by Senator Rick:
Teachers have a constitutional right to teach scientific controversies so long as the discussion is about science, not religion or philosophy. Teachers must teach these theories, even if some believe they have religious or philosophical implications. There is no reason to ignore or trivialize scientific issues involving controversial theories, regardless of their implications for religion or philosophy.
Let us proceed with this grim undertaking. There will be no joy as we engage the enemy. As our Commander in Chief says; BRING IT ON!!
I'm not a big fan of Santorum but the guy is agreeing with what seems to be the majority opinion on this blog, including my own. So what if the guy has changed his opinion? Big deal. If you agree with the guy's conclusion, why give him grief for it? Don't be so thickheaded that you'll refuse a consensus on topic A just because you disagree with the guy on topic B -- or, in the case of Santorum, B, C, D, E, F, G, etc.
I'm not saying to throw the guy a parade but slamming him for agreeing with you just because you have a politically worthless accusation regarding his intentions will only have the effect of shooting yourselves in the collective foot.
You want to do political damage to the guy? Welcome his support on the issue. Declare that you hope to gain his support on other topics. Associate him with your positions when the opportunity comes up.
Denegrating him over his change of position shows that you don't really care about anything but destroying him personally. Even if that is your true goal, showing it off will only turn people against you. There's a time for venom and a time for honey and if you want to win, you need to learn the difference.
That's interesting, and might be relevant if Santorum had bothered to say that he'd changed his position on this. But that's not what's going on here. He is pandering. To win an election. To one side he says "i'm for teaching ID in science classes," and to the other side he says "i'm not for teaching ID in science classes." Maybe he really does agree with me -- but maybe if he's really a stand-up guy, he should flat out say that he has considered this and changed his position.
Anyone holding their breath waiting for THAT to happen? I didn't think so...
I fully concede he may be pandering. But, again I ask, so what?
Show me a politician who doesn't pander and I'll show you a politician out of office. Pandering is expected and pointing it out won't win converts. In the end, the evolution/ID issue is pretty low on the importance scale so it won't get much traction no matter how much you cry flip-flop.
However, given the close numbers of Santorum's 2000 election and its likely repeat in 2006, the best bet is if Republican's stay home -- shown by the large turnout in the urban areas in 2000 that still didn't beat the turnout of surburban voters (typically Republican voters.) Showing the man's flip-flops on an unimportant issue is not going to convince his supporters to stay home. Instead, focus on associating him with a group that is the anti-thesis of his supporter's goals. Again, you won't beat Santorum using the flip-flop tactic but you may beat him if he's seen as not Republican enough. Support him on the evolution/ID issue and it not only makes you guys look reasonable but it will also make him look bad by association. Democrats seem to forget the goal is to win, not to hear yourselves talk.
I have read his comments carefully. In the Washington Times, he says "proponents of intelligent design are not trying to teach religion via science, but are trying to establish the validity of their theory as a scientific alternative to Darwinism," and, "intelligent design is a legitimate scientific theory that should be taught in science classes." Yesterday, he said "I think I would probably tailor that a little more than what the president has suggested...I'm not comfortable with intelligent design being taught in the science classroom."
You may not see that as a change in position -- but I do.
His old position: ID is legit science and should be taught in science class. His new position: ID is not legit science and it should be discussed in some classroom, but not "taught" in "science class."
Look, bottom line here is we can discuss this if we want to, right? This is America. I hardly think anyone is claiming this to be the silver bullet that will bring Santorum down.
And is this one day or one moment of discussion all about "winning converts"? I don't think so. I don't know if there are any people looking at this who are even potential converts, either way.
Why is it so bad to stand back and examine such a moment of political wizardry, one wholly designed to confuse and obfuscate his position on an admittedly minor issue and bamboozle the public once more? And maybe to ask ourselves, "if he'll do this on such a minor issue, what about the great big issues of the day?"
This site is designed and paid for by a politically charged 527 group (similar to the Swift Boat Veterans) with the unstated goal of ousting Santorum in '06. I realize that a 527 is not allowed to advocate voting for or against a particular candidate but, come on, who are we kidding?
The comments section is open to all thoughts and discussions but the main page, where this 527 molds its official position, is not going to do much to influence cross-over voters with its current effort. The problem with the 527 crowd in the 2004 election is that they were so busy spewing venom and bile hoping to charge the Democrat base that, in the process, they alienated a large number of potential cross-over votes on other issues. This particular 527 seems to follow the same playbook that led to defeat in 2004.
That playbook says it is more important to attack the candidate than it is to attract voters outside the base. In this case, I don't think it's possible to attract enough voters against Santorum. In my view, the only viable strategy is to encourage Republican voters to stay home. As the 2000 and 2004 elections showed, turnout by itself is just not enough for Democrats to win.
This 527 ought to thank Santorum for his change of heart -- let the people in the comments section rip him apart. There's nothing of value to be gained by tattling to the voters that Santorum may have flip-flopped on a relatively innocuous issue. In fact, I argue it does more harm than good.
Now, I'm not saying that Santorum's victory or defeat is directly connected to this 527's effforts. However, I am saying that this group can either choose to be an effective opposition or just another bunch of loudmouths. So far, they've chosen the latter.

Respectfully, PG, I disagree with your premise. The fanatical Right is so up in arms over any deviation from their script that a wingnut delegation is staging a protest against Bush's Supreme pick 'cuz he spent some pro bono time on a Gay rights issue in 1996. Not to mention Focus on the Family's tirade about his lack of devotion to the poor.
Santorum has been a great poster-boy for most of Dubya's agenda items, but with this break and Frist's deviation on stem cells, SOMETHING's shaking in the GOP ranks... Creationism is a bedrock issue for fundamentalists. Anything associated with religion is an intractable part of their agenda. Santorum's doublespeak will gain traction among fundamentalists, and any votes he loses because of it help more progressive candidates.

Creationism is not a bedrock issue.
It's good gravy.
Mostly, if only, because the public isn't on board.

I don't think the issue of teaching ID is unimportant. Teaching stuff really does have an effect. If you teach ID and give it equal weight with legitimate science, you are not just giving the wrong impression about a few facts. You are saying that instead of gathering data, forming a theory based on the data, and making predictions about further data you expect to find; that science is actually about faith.
It isn't. Imagine a nation full of people who think that pi is 3 or that shaking hands with menstruating women will give you cooties, both Bible-based "facts." Imagine that nation trying to function.
Wait. We already have plenty of examples of nations like that, historical and current. They don't seem to do very well, do they?

mark, the point is hes pandering to the audience. Washington Times - for ID, NPR - against ID.
i do wonder what changed his mind.
What changed Ricky's mind is that the Discovery Institute has changed its mind about how best to pursue its strategy.
The pending case in Dover -- where the school board wants to teach Intelligent Design -- is a guaranteed loser.
When a court decides that Intelligent Design is creationism, the Discovery Institute will have to start all over again.
Essentially that's what's happening now. Intelligent Design is now being equated by its peddlers as "the [alleged] problems with evolutionary theory."
Santorum is just reciting the Discovery Institute script, exactly as he was doing earlier when he wanted Intelligent Design taught in schools.
Santorum's opinion hasn't changed.
His script has changed.
Yes, this is disgusting.
#7 Larry Lord on 2005-08-05 10:14 (Reply)
Read Santorum's comments carefully. There doesn't seem to be any change in his position. He is simply saying, don't teach it in the "science" classroom. That's because this is where the scientific community goes on the offensive. Nobody, not even the science community, is saying that it shouldn't be taught in topics in the classroom.
#8 Nothing there on 2005-08-05 11:12 (Reply)
C'mon everybody, did you miss Santorum's interview with Wolf Blitzer last week? I know you didn't, because we were all laughing at him.
But, to remind you, when Wolf asked Santorum about his libelous statements about the city of Boston, in the wake of the Catholic scandal, Santorum looked incredulously at Wolf, saying something along the lines of "c'mon, that was 2002, it's 2005 now".
I'm serious. That is exactly his response. If I had the transcript, I would link to it, but Santorum was essentially implying that 2002 is ancient history and not worthy of being brought up in discussion.
I do appreciate, however, that Santorum is speaking sagely on this intelligent design issue today.
Whoa, everybody!
Pull your foot out of the bear trap.
There is no such thing as "intelligent design."
And especially, no such thing as an "intelligent design issue."
Never was. Never will be.
There is ONLY "Creationism." Period.
This is pure rightist marketing bull and we're falling for it.
Remember our victory on Social Security when we did not fall for the GOP's renaming "Privatization" with that "personal account" crap.
Again, it is "Creationism." Period. Any time you say it otherwise, Dobson and Falwell smile.
You want to use right wing wording, go ahead.
But horsecrap is horsecrap.
Not "a renewable, olfactory energy source."
Now, now, you meanies. Girls have always reserved the right to change their minds, and Rick is no exception.
#10.1 Mad-Dog Dave (Link) on 2005-08-06 02:05 (Reply)
This statement by Santorum requires a comment:
"Research has shown that the odds that even one small protein molecule has been created by chance is 1 in a billion. Thus, some larger force or intelligence, or what some call agent causation, seems like a viable cause for creating information systems such as the coding of DNA."
Leaving aside the fact that the senator doesn't cite any such research (at least not in the snippet I read), he really ought to know that no one claims that a protein molecule or anything else has been "created by chance." (This is similar to one of my favorite phony-baloney arguments against evolution that goes something like this: "The chances of life developing randomly is like getting an unabridged dictionary out of an explosion in a printing shop." Pretty cute, huh?)
The problem with this specious sort of non-argument is that while the mutations that give rise to variations among individuals are random, the selection of these variations for evolutionary success is not.
The "larger force or intelligence, or what some call agent causation" is natural selection, just like Darwin said. Perhaps Senator Santorum should spend more time thinking about dogs and less time trying to pretend he knows what he's talking about.
#11 The Mad Professor on 2005-08-06 04:56 (Reply)
"The ability to change one's mind is a sign of intelligence"
That said, Santorum is a bit of a dick sometimes.
Take heed people. This is how this snake oil salesman wins elections. Pander to right, pander to the left....
6 More years of this clown.
#13 David Lorenz on 2005-08-09 06:56 (Reply)
I say that if they won't allow the teaching of the "theory of evolution" then we should likewise ban the teaching of the "theory of relativity" and any other scientific principle that contains the word "theory" ... since that is what gets the right-wing fundies so up in arms ("It's only a theory, not a proven fact." )
#14 NotGonnaGiveIt on 2005-08-09 13:43 (Reply)
Why only one designer? I say the diversity of life makes the idea of a single designer preposterous. The only scientific explanation is that we have a whole host of designers, looking down on us from Mt Olympus.

Pet peeve: "theory of inteligent design"
IT IS NOT A THEORY. Scientific theories are based in the scientific method, which requires experimentation to support a hypothesis. That is, if ID was a theory then there have to be experiments that prove it, experiments that can be repeated and have the same result, time and time again. ID is not even a demonstrable hypothesis, because there is no experiment that can be done to prove or disprove it.
ID is a belief, calling it a theory gives it equal footing with the theory of evolution, which is based in fact and enough experimental proof to bury the Kansas school board and still have room for "Dr." Dobson.
Presto. Lynx hit the nail right on the head. To ID proponents the term "theory" means nothing more than "guess", and as far as they're concerned, one is as good as another. By contrast, scientists view the term "theory" to be closely aligned with the term "law". And therein lies the heart of the confusion they're trying to create. And at this very moment they're busy clouding this important distinction, probably in your very own school district.
Sanatorium is changing his tune because the Discovery Institute, the "think tank" which is the primary force behind the Intelligent Design movement, told him to.
You see, it's like this. There is a court case in Dover, PA in which people are suing the school board to have the scientific theory of Intelligent Design taught in classrooms. Except, get this, there *is no* scientific theory of Intelligent Design!
Quite an embarrassing situation, to be sure. Knowing that the suit will soon bring the DI's duplicity into broad daylight, the word has gone out that no one should really ask that ID be taught in public schools. No no no. Now, they claim, they only want the flaws of Evolution to be taught to children. You know, to encourage free thinking and all that.
So the ID movement has reduced itself to nothing more than blatant opposition to the Theory Evolution--which is of course what scientists have been saying all along.

Mr. Santorum's comments usually aren't worth taking seriously enough to waste the time responding (despite the irony of my remark) He is usually so far off the mark on most issues I doubt if he would be taken very seriously by anyone if he were not a U.S. Senator. After all, what can you expect from a charter member of the "American Taliban"?

Movie Theater Ettiquite
We'll start with the obvious,
1) They even post a sign for this one folks TURN OFF YOUR FUCKING CELL PHONE!!! Clearly if your are expecting such an important phone call that you would actually waste the cost of a ticket answering your cell phone just to tell them that you are at the movies and will call them back you shouldn't be at the theater in the first place! Not to mention that why are you so significant that you just HAVE to text your friends where you are!?! I came to see the movie not your cell phone's display!
2) SHUT THE FUCK UP! again, let me repeat this (and honestly people it was tough to decide which of these really should be #1) SHUT THE FUCK UP! If I have to lean over and TELL you this, you are more in likely breaking rule #1!
3) KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF! Because if you don't you are now breaking rule #2! If you TRULY don't like what you are seeing, the girl in the movie is constantly being "stupid" and "screaming too much" than get up and LEAVE! Not everyone else shares your opinion nor do they want to HEAR IT!
Now I understand that sometimes people scream at the scary parts, laugh at the funny ones etc. BUT, when you are the only one being heard, hell, YOUR OWN FRIENDS tell you to BE QUITE, well, keep in mind these 3 simple rules and this will ensure a fun and pleasurable experience for ALL the movie goers in the theater and is one more sure way of avoiding unnecessary medical bills and or unexpected funeral expenses!
GOOD ONES! def. give kuddos for those. for me would fall under the "shut the fuck up" category, but why would you bring your kids to any movie other than one for them ANYWAY. I go to the movies to GET AWAY from my kids, so they are OBVIOUSLY rated R. DUH. but i've learned to accept that the world if full of fuckin retards and that somehow they have learned to migrate north. i say screw natural selection, at 18 administer idiot tests, weed out the fuck ups early! eh, that was mean, but ive never clamied to be a nice person! but thanks again for the additional rules, now if only the guilty parties were smart enought to use the internet and read this......
another rule: Dont let your kids kick the backs of other people's chairs! and on a similar note, dont bring a baby into the theater. You know the movie is loud, and you know it will make the kid cry!
Oh, and don't scream like a little girl during a part that isn't 'scarry' just to be funny. because it's not. I have to resist the urge to throw a shoe at the people who do that.

Biggest Loser Couples: Playing for Immunity Gets Ugly
January 15, 2008 09:09 AM by Jennifer_Brown
Noticed how so far everyone on this season's Loser has been all nicey-nice and sweet and friendly? Yeah, well, that's about tochange. As weeks go by, teams get more exhausted and the challenges get harder, and everyone's more invested in getting to that final weigh-in.
If history is any predictor, alliances will start to emerge and betrayals will occur and strategies will be planned and back-stabbing chit chat will ensue. And that's when players aren't there with a partner they love and feel comfortable enough to lay into.
This week the contestants will be faced with a challenge, the reward of which will be immunity from elimination for the winner. That means whoever wins the challenge doesn't have to worry about whether or not they fall below the dreaded yellow line — they can't be eliminated anyway.
Things get ugly in the house as players take this challenge personally and everyone wants that "free pass."
Not like trainers Bob and Jillian plan to give anyone a free pass anyway. Taking last week's pathetic weight loss numbers personally, the two are planning to work the teams ever-harder this week and put up more impressive numbers at the weigh-in.
Biggest Loser Couples airs Tuesdays at 8:00 PM (ET) on NBC.

Supervisors give stamp of approval to 5K event
VALLEY VIEW - A new event is coming to the area and Hegins Township Supervisors have given the organizers their stamp of approval and are willing to help out anyway they can.
This year will mark the inaugural Hot Potato 5K Run/Fun Walk, hosted by Sterman Masser Inc., Sacramento. The 5K will be held on June 8 on Maple Street in Valley View. All proceeds will benefit Tri-Valley Charities. Dave Masser, president and COO of Sterman Masser Potato Farms, gave a presentation on the run/walk to the supervisors during their Feb. 4 meeting.
"We are excited because this will be an annual event for all ages," Masser said. "It promotes a healthy lifestyle and it will benefit our local Tri-Valley Charities."
The run/walk will start and finish at Trinity Lutheran Church in Valley View. The race course will involve Maple, Walnut and Gap streets.
"Our biggest challenge right now is parking for the volunteers and for those participating in the run/walk," Masser said. "We have been granted permission for the volunteers to park at St. Andrew's Church lot and we are now requesting that participants be allowed to park on the township's grass lot north of the township building. Dan Schwalm has also granted permission to use his lot, as well."
Masser said the event will involve at least 40 volunteers who will help ensure the event runs smoothly, and they are expecting anywhere from 400 to 500 participants.
"We are looking to raise at least $20- to $30,000 for Tri-Valley Charities."
Persons who would like to volunteer their time for the event should contact Masser. Attendance at a pre-race meeting is required.

It's farewell for another year to mosquitos, vaporettos and incomprehensibly rude Italian film critics who insist on checking their email mid-screening, because the 70th Venice Film Festival wrapped up on Saturday. For a festival that had seen quite a few twists and turns, it felt appropriate that it ended with Bernardo Bertolucci pulling a few surprises, shunning the more lauded films in the line-up to bestow the Golden Lion on "Sacro GRA," the first Italian film to win the top prize in fifteen years and the first documentary to ever manage the feat.
Elsewhere, Greek film "Miss Violence" also proved popular, taking both the Silver Lion and the Best Actor prize for Themis Panou, while Tsai Ming-Liang's "Stray Dogs" won the Grand Jury Prize, Elena Cotta took Best Actress for "Via Castellana Bandiera" (which we unfortunately didn't see), Tye Sheridan was awarded Best Young Actor for David Gordon Green's "Joe," Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope picked up Best Screenplay for "Philomena," and Philip Groning's "The Police Officer's Wife" won a Special Jury Prize.
Not necessarily who we'd have given the prizes to in all cases (as is often the case, many of our own favorites were out of competition, or in sidebars), but it's a diverse collection of winners that reflect a festival that may not have had the heavy hitters of last year, where Paul Thomas Anderson and Terrence Malick headlined the competition, but reflected a line-up that had real breadth of excellence. Only a few films truly disappointed—the choice of saggy, poorly executed JFK ensemble drama "Parkland" in competition was truly baffling—but almost everything had something to recommend them, and the top rank of films we saw were truly stellar.
We're still recovering from a festival where we saw and reviewed significantly more films than we have in previous years, but to wrap our annual Venice coverage, we've picked out our five favorites of the festival below. Plus below, you can find links to all the reviews from the last couple of weeks, ranked in order of how much we liked them, and see the full list of award winners.

5. "Stray Dogs"
The most difficult watch in a festival full of a few tough views, Tsai Ming-Liang's long-awaited return was impenetrable even by his standards, but ultimately proved to be one of the most nourishing experiences we had in the whole festival. Following a single father who works as a human billboard in Taipei, and his left-to-their-own-devices kids, with the presence of their mother represented by three different actresses, the film has the barest thread of story (Tsai has admitted that he no longer has any real interest in narrative), and seems determined to provoke less patient audience members into walking out, with a series of shots that last upwards of ten minutes without all that much movement in them. But those who lasted the distance were reminded that Tsai is a true master, and if his hints of retirement come true, it'll be a serious loss to world cinema. He's absolutely in control here, each shot bubbling with meaning, each cut perfectly calibrated. Some wag commented on Twitter during the festival that when a film is described as 'soporific,' it means that the critic fell asleep during the screening, but here, we'd mean the word as a compliment; Tsai conjures up a surreal tone closest to the moments after waking where you try and work out if your dreams were real or not, and it's a feeling that lingers long after the credits roll. "Stray Dogs" might not have been our absolute favorite of the festival, but we'll never forget it in a million years. Read the full review here.
4. "Miss Violence"
In any normal circumstance, "Miss Violence" would be the most visceral experience you could have at a film festival. The audience in our screening gasped and wailed as it became clear how far it was going to go, and there was open, cathartic cheering at the film's conclusion as one particular character got what was coming to them. Afterwards, viewers emerged, in the best way, feeling like they needed a shower to shake off director Alexandros Avranas' wallow in the darkest possible side of Greek family life. In fact, the film somehow wasn't the most visceral film in the festival (see below), but it was still an impossibly powerful and technically immaculate piece of work that announces the arrival of a fully formed talent in the shape of Avranas. The film opens with a stunning opening sequence, as an 11-year-old girl exits her own birthday party and jumps off the balcony, killing herself, and from there, Avranas slowly pulls back the curtain on the horrifying truth behind her family. It might be indebted in many aspects to "Dogtooth," with which it shares both thematic and stylistic links, but it's arguably more fully achieved than even that film—the helmer's win of the Silver Lion for Best Director might not have been popular in the room, but to our mind, it's well-deserved. As was the Best Actor victory for Themis Panou, who creates a unique and complex monster as the family's patriarch. "Miss Violence" is undoubtedly a wallow in the darker side of humanity, but few things this year gripped us in the same way. Catch up with the full review over here.
3. "At Berkeley"
In theory, the 70th Venice Film Festival was something of a banner one for documentaries: two in competition, one of which, "Sacro GRA," won the Golden Lion, several others in sidebars or out of competition, and a number of films-about-filmmaking in the Classics strand, including "A Fuller Life," "Bertolucci On Bertolucci" and "Double Life: James Benning and Richard Linklater" (the latter two we didn't make it to, but heard good things about, and hope to catch up with in the near future). We were actually a touch disappointed with most of the docs we did catch, but the quality of "At Berkeley" made up for sags elsewhere. The latest—and making a serious argument for being the greatest—work of 83-year-old non-fiction veteran Frederick Wiseman, the four-hour epic peeks at every possible facet of the University Of California Berkeley, a great public university facing increasing funding challenges. Wiseman shows the great work being done at the university across all fields, but while it's undoubtedly in favor of higher education for as many as possible, just holds back from being a polemic. Instead, as the various seminars and lectures on subjects as diverse as Walden and rocket science, it's a film of ideas, darting effortlessly between debates on society, race, class, politics and much, much more, while adding up to something that feels like a coherent piece of work. It adds up to a portrait of America in the 21st century, and for all of its expansive length, you won't feel like you'd cut a moment. Read the review in full here.
2. "Gravity"
For a film that was nearly universally well-received, the mood among the press corps was strangely downbeat as they filed out of "Gravity." It was the very first film of Venice, and the festival seemed to open on such a high that the worry was that everything else over the next ten days would end up paling in comparison. That ended up not quite being the case, but as audiences at both Telluride and TIFF have subsequently discovered, it's a genuinely phenomenal piece of work, and one of the best films to come out of the studio system in years. As long-time fans of Alfonso Cuarón, it's truly thrilling to see the "Children Of Men" director granted the kind of absolute freedom he has here, both in terms of budget and for his camera, Emmanuel Lubezki's extraordinary cinematography floating untethered, giving what feels like the closest simulation of actually being in space that you could ask for. Not that it's meditative—first and foremost, the film's a thrill ride, and an almost impossibly tense one—we sat next to the critic of a major British newspaper at our screening who was literally biting his nails through most of the film, and he was far from the only one. But it's not an empty rollercoaster ride either, with the fine performances of Sandra Bullock and George Clooney ensuring that humanity shines through the dark expanses of space. It's a long time since we've seen a blockbuster that engages with big questions—of death, of grief, of loneliness, of human existence—in the way that this does, and that makes it something to be cherished.
