UnNews:Even Gordon Brown admits Brand Ross thing is "Getting fucking ridiculous now"
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
31 October 2008
LONDON, United Kingdom. After days of the story dominating the front page of Britain's best-selling and, conversely, shittiest newspapers Prime Minister Gordon Brown has made a statement to Parliament saying "It's time we faced facts, this is getting fucking ridiculous now".
"We're in the middle of a serious financial crisis and we're at war in Iraq and Afghanistan" said the one-eyed premier. "I know I'm the deeply unimpressive leader of a gutless party that's shit-scared of the gutter press and so we've let this whole thing blow-up to keep them happy but for fuck's sake!"
Opposition leader David Cameron rose to complain about the Prime Minister's use of foul language in the house but the Speaker requested he let Mr Brown continue stating "The right honourable gentleman is well-intentioned but incorrect, as the Prime Minister has stated it's getting fucking ridiculous now."
Brown went-on to explain that "I've had messages left on my answering machine, not Russell Brand saying he's slipped it to my wife but no less than Raul Castro of Cuba telling me that whilst he hates our capitalist system he understands the pain of Andrew Sachs and has offered to have "foul homosexual-men" Ross and Brand tortured in a Cuban prison; even Osama bin Laden has mentioned the scandal in his cave hideaway, if my reports from MI6 are to be believed, and has commented that Brand would be killed for fucking a respected elder's grandaughter if he had his way. At this rate I'm expecting George Galloway to wade-in with his support. This really has to stop. Let's get back to discussing important things."
The Prime Minister's stance has been criticised, though. Paul Dacre, lead Nazi at the Daily Mail frothed "It's outrageous that this so-called Prime Minister regards there as being more important things to discuss than a pair of billionaire communist BBC fops abusing, masturbating over and spitting upon the finest comic actor this country, indeed this planet, has ever seen. As if that wasn't bad enough, uppity BBC Scotch Frankie Boyle has also made jokes about Queen and Country on the so-called "comedy" show Mock the Week. It's incredible we're not already all living in the BBC Soviet Union."
We tried to contact Andrew Sachs for comment but only got his answer phone.

Welcome. The Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR) program of the San Mateo County Superior Court Program is called the "Multi-Option ADR Project" or "MAP," for short.
More and more people and businesses are using ADR to resolve their legal problems. ADR is usually faster, cheaper and less stressful than going to court. ADR also lets people resolve their disputes in a more private environment. Some forms of ADR, such as mediation, give people the chance to shape mutually acceptable agreements and can provide an opportunity for people to settle their disputes.

Thema is European origin, chrome tanned, aniline drum dyed and vacuum dried leather. The hides are printed with Nappa (follicle) print as with most industry high end automotive leather, but the retannage of this leather gives it a much softer hand. The result is a leather with the consistency of Nappa, but with more natural variation in the texture of the hide and a little more stretch for workability. It is perfect for use on customs, Hotrods, and resto-mods, but works equally well in OEM replacement applications.

Reactions to TV Reporting
Often on TV we have to find a way to explain a product or service in the fewest possible words. But sometimes we're accused of over-simplifying. MU's safe-ride program, "STRIPES," received more than 500 applications to fill a mere 150 spots for the Spring semester.
After KOMU aired this story, the STRIPES public relations manager, Andrew Worrall, complained KOMU did not describe the organization accurately in the web version of our story. The original web story said: "STRIPES" is a student-run, volunteer organization that provides free, safe and confidential rides home to MU students who've been drinking.
"The program isn't designed to only take intoxicated students home," explained Worrall. "We're a program that's just a safe ride program for anybody out there that needs a ride. If they're working late, on a bad date, anything like that. In addition to being inebriated, that's what we're there for."
KOMU rewrote the web story to read: "STRIPES is a student run, volunteer organization that primarily provides free, safe and confidential rides home to MU students who've been drinking."
"It's definitely more accurate," Worrall said. "I still think it emphasizes that we're there to take people home who've been drinking. We generally don't like to generate drinking as much as possible when we talk about ourselves. So we're a safe ride program. We're here to take people home safely, but that's it."
KOMU8's Executive Producer Randy Reeves explains the complaint was a little critical.
"I understand that they want to do other things but there's one thing they're primarily known for," he said. "In fact, it's in the first line of their vision statement on their website. They want to make sure the people don't have to wait and then make a bad choice to drink and drive."
The first line of STRIPES' vision statement says "STRIPES strives to become the most efficient safe ride program in the nation, with a continual focus on decreasing wait times...Thereby, decreasing the likelihood that a patron may make the choice to drink and drive."
"I think it just comes down to how you define primarily use our service because I would say probably close to half if not even more than half of our students," Worrall saidl. "The students that we take home have not been drinking."
"The students that I come in contact with, only know them for one thing," Reeves explained. "And that's what we said. That they take care of folks who've had too much to drink."

Chip Yates, Swigz.com Pro Racing USA team owner and driver who is fresh off a blistering top-speed run in the Mojave Desert, is now in Colorado Springs, Colo., preparing his electric motorcycle for the 89th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. This year's event takes place on June 26.
The bike is powered by a 240-hp, 400-lb-ft electric motor. The best thing about this style of bike, and this race, is that the motor's output isn't dependent on the ambient air pressure. It makes 400 lb-ft of torque at sea level, and 400 lb-ft at the top of the 14,110-foot mountain. The batteries can last the full duration of the 12.4-mile climb, according to Yates, but at 585 pounds, he'll need help if he lays it down.
"As extreme and majestic as the 14,110-foot mountain is, however, I was even more struck by the quality and camaraderie of the people involved," said Yates. "Not only were we treated wonderfully by race director Phil Layton and his team--despite being complete rookies with an unproven Pikes Peak bike--but on Saturday when I tucked the front tire on a white line and had a little crash, none other than Alexander Smith [Ducati factory rider and son of legend Malcolm Smith] pulled over on the course to help me lift my superbike out of a ditch."
As of early this week, Yates ranked seventh in qualifying among the 33 two-wheel riders.

Microsoft has unveiled its Internet Explorer 9 Platform Preview, which includes expanded support for HTML5, hardware-accelerated graphics and text, and a new JavaScript engine. Together these let developers use the same markup and deliver graphically and functionally rich Web applications that take advantage of PC hardware via the operating system.
Microsoft also announced that it will contribute to the jQuery JavaScript Library and announced the release of SDKs for the Open Data Protocol (OData). OData is an HTTP and Atom-based approach to data portability for a number of languages and platforms including .NET, Java, PHP, Objective-C (iPhone and Mac) and JavaScript. Developers can access the OData SDK to download the 'Dallas' CTP2. The second Community Technology Preview (CTP) code-named "Dallas" is an information marketplace powered by the Windows Azure platform, which provides developers with access to third-party datasets that can be consumed by Web and mobile applications. By making content and data available with an OData feed via Dallas, developers can access and monetize their data under their terms and pricing, which can be can built into applications to deliver unique user experiences.
The company's support for HTML5 includes CSS3, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), XHTML parsing, and the video and audio tags using industry-standard (H.264/MPEG4 and MP3/AAC) codecs, among others. In addition, Microsoft has demonstrated a new JavaScript engine that uses the multiple cores of multicore CPUs. According to Microsoft's Scott Guthrie, the company provide better interoperability between ASP.NET and the jQuery JavaScript Library by enhancing ASP.NET so .NET developers can better incorporate jQuery capabilities. In addition, Microsoft will actively promote and distribute versions of the jQuery JavaScript Library by packaging it with popular products such as Visual Studio 2010 and ASP.NET MVC 2. As a first step, Microsoft will contribute a templating engine to the jQuery JavaScript Library Team to simplify Web applications.

One difference between Obama and Clinton does not seem to me to have been stressed enough. They are of different Democratic generations. Clinton is from the traumatized generation; Obama isn't.Realizing that I am from Clinton's generation, and Sullivan is from Obama's, I am instantly skeptical. Traumatized? He sees the older "generation" as suffering from a mental disorder?
I put "generation" in quotes because I think a 20-year span is needed for a generation. Calling a 10-year span a "generation" exaggerates for dramatic effect, but it does express something of the emotional distance felt (or sought). I've always felt distant from the era inhabited by my sister, who, like Hillary, is four years older than I am. Why not call that a "generation"? Then I could extricate myself from that post-traumatic stress disorder that plagues Clinton.
Back to Sullivan:
Clinton has internalized to her bones the 1990s sense that conservatism is ascendant, that what she really believes is unpopular, that the Republicans have structural, latent power of having a majority of Americans on their side. Hence the fact that she reeks of fear, of calculation, of focus groups, of triangulation.Do we know what she "really believes"? And does she really believe something? Even if we assume she has liberal instincts, why can't she also believe that it is good to work through a process of accommodating those first thoughts to the world she encounters? I give a politician credit for pragmatism -- when it is done well. Why is "belief" so wonderful? Ideologues make terrible mistakes. Sullivan doesn't appreciate George Bush's commitment to his beliefs, so why is ideological purity suddenly so valuable?
She might once have had ideals keenly felt; she might once have actually relished fighting for them and arguing in thier [sic] defense. But she has not been like that for a very long time. She has political post-traumatic stress disorder.Ah! The diagnosis. I feel averse to her, so I detect illness in her.
Obama is different. He wasn't mugged by the 1980s and 1990s as Clinton was.Obama was 17 in 1980. Nothing has a greater impact on you than the way things are when you are 17. (I was 17 in 1968.) You could say that Vietnam and Nixon didn't affect him, but he was a young man in the 1980s and 1990s. That era must have affected him deeply. Did it not affect his age-mate Sullivan?
[Obama] doesn't carry within him the liberal self-hatred and self-doubt that Clinton does. The traumatized Democrats fear the majority of Americans are bigoted, know-nothing, racist rubes from whom they need to conceal their true feelings and views. The non-traumatized Democrats are able to say what they think, make their case to potential supporters and act, well, like Republicans acted in the 1980s and 1990s.There may well be those two types of Democrats, but you haven't convinced me that they slot into two generations or that one type is healthy and the other diseased -- a theory that deserves to be called ageist. Nor am I convinced that it is unrealistic fear that motivates some liberals politicians to tone down their views in order to make themselves more appealing to voters.
By the same token, I don't believe that Obama's positions are pure expressions of true belief. He has to have thought through how to make himself appealing to voters. If he seems to be more idealistic, it may be that he's figured out that this stance works for him. Obviously, it does.
Since it's a good, pragmatic choice, there's no way to conclude he seems idealistic and proud of his liberalism because he's unafraid and untainted by the diseased thoughts of those a few years older than he is. How do you know he's not fearful of seeming less purely optimistic? One could just as well say that he's learned his lessons from the 80s and 90s. Reagan taught him the great value of getting people to think that you embody optimism. Maybe he avoids seeming to calculate and triangulate in order to distance himself from Bill Clinton (and Hillary).
The choice between Clinton and Obama is the choice between a defensive crouch and a confident engagement. It is the choice between someone who lost their beliefs in a welter of fear; and someone who has faith that his worldview can persuade a majority.Sullivan effuses. He loves Obama and feels aversion to Clinton. So do many others. This isn't an argument that Obama would make a better President than Clinton, but it's not a mere outburst of emotion either. He's saying that Obama will make a better candidate than Clinton, because he will -- by his faith -- inspire belief. That sounds rather dangerous, evocative of the worst things that can happen in politics. We need analysis and reason too, and I think Obama can only go so far exciting people with "the audacity of hope." The debate the other night showed how he can fall short, going for the hopeful, inspiring idea when Clinton comes forward with the more seasoned, mature, realistic analysis.
In my view, the call is not a close one.
And which approach, in fact, betrays more fear that Americans are "know-nothing" "rubes"? I think the simplistic talk of hope, playing on the emotions of the listener, shows less respect for the intelligence and sophistication of the voters than a more complex, realistic presentation of the issues.
But in 2004, the Democrats lost with their dull, nuanced character, and the Republicans won with simplistic, emotional hope. Sullivan ought to consider whether -- if Hillary was "mugged by the 1980s and 1990s," Obama was mugged by the 00s.

How polarizing is Johnny Manziel? So much so that he's pushing a dyed-in-the-wool Auburn fan to the brink of the unthinkable.
Charles Barkley played his college basketball at Auburn before embarking on a Hall of Fame NBA career. Now one of the most popular — and polarizing, oddly enough — analysts in the hoops game today, Barkley has remained a staunch supporter of his alma mater and its athletic programs.
A true Auburn fan, of course, is pro-anything that goes up against the Alabama Crimson Tide, which would seemingly include Texas A&M this weekend in the latest edition of the Game of The Century. Thanks to the reigning Heisman winner, though, Barkley is thiiis close to getting his houndstooth on.
"Johnny Manziel, he's doing something I never thought was possible," Barkley said during a Chicago radio interview Wednesday, by way of al.com. "He's going to make me root for Alabama this weekend.
"I never thought I would say those words. I am so close to saying 'Roll Tide.' Johnny Manziel is annoying me so much. I'm really close to saying 'Roll Tide.'"
What it is that's sticking in Barkley's craw regarding the A&M quarterback is unclear, but it's stuck so far up wherever it is that it has him mentioning Manziel in the same breath as a twerking Miley Cyrus.
And has him not really caring how a near "Roll Tide" will play on The Plains.
"They're not going to be happy," Barkley said of AU fans. "But let me tell you something. Johnny Manziel, oh my God, the only thing saving Manziel is Miley Cyrus.
"I just think that Johnny Manziel has done a lot of stupid stuff in the last three or four months."
(insert glass house reference here)
So, congratulations Johnny Football. Look what you and your shenanigans and hijinks have gone and done.

Species In-Depth
At the Aquarium
Gulf of California
Geographic Distribution
Lower Gulf of California, Guadalupe Island, south in coastal waters to Peru, Cocos and the Galapagos Islands.
The king angelfish prefers a rocky or coral reef habitat. They may be found in all levels of the water column to a depth of about 30 m (98.4 ft) and have been reported to a depth of 80 m (262 ft). Juveniles are frequently found in tidepools.
Physical Characteristics
This species has the typical ovoid shape of angelfish in general and is laterally compressed. The posterior tips of the dorsal and anal fins overlap the caudal fin in some specimens by almost two/thirds of its length. The snout is small and rounded and the mouth is small. An identifying characteristic of the angelfish family, Pomacanthidae, is a heavy, sharp spine that extends back horizontally from the lower cheek area.
Coloration varies and juveniles carry different markings from the adults. Adults most commonly have a dark slate blue body, but it is not unusual to see some with the rear margin of the scales a lighter shade with yellow or orange tones. Margins of the dorsal and anal fins are a bright blue. Pectoral and caudal fins are yellow. Pelvic fins are white on males and yellow on females. A distinctive and identifying mark is a bold white, vertical stripe, originating at the rear margin of the pectoral fin and terminating at the upper body margin.
Juveniles are more colorful than adults with several blue vertical stripes on the side of the body behind the white stripe and yellow to orange markings on the head. The forward one/fourth of the body is yellowish to orange.
This species may reach a length of about 35 cm (13.8 in).
These fish are omnivorous and feed on a large variety of animal and plant life including algae and other types of seaweed, tunicates, an assortment of worms, sea stars, including brittle stars, sea urchins, and a variety of small mollusks. Their favorite food appears to be sponges.
The king angelfish is an open water egg scatterer. Research on the gonadal activity of the species indicates that the reproductive season is summer through fall, apparently peaking in the late summer. Timing may vary some depending upon geographic location.
The actual spawning is accomplished over sand bottoms near a reef at about sunset, preceded by a ritual in which both a male and a female participate. Males appear first, and in a flurry of activity, including chasing and rapid swimming, create temporary spawning areas, ending up with the larger fish on the perimeter of small groups. Several minutes later the females appear near the bottom singly or in small groups. When a female approaches a male he will swim toward and above her and display by spreading his white pelvic fins, creating a fluttering movement of his body while swimming back and forth in front of her. When she is ready to spawn she will swim a diagonal path to the surface followed by the still fluttering male until they reach the surface where they release eggs and sperm. Eggs and larvae are pelagic. Juveniles may be seen in the fall and winter.
Kings may be seen singly, in pairs, or sometimes in fairly large schools. In areas of low species population the females tend to be quite aggressive and will pursue the formation of long-term pair relationships. Where the species is abundant the females are mostly solitary and strongly territorial, vigorously defending their home turf from other females. Males, on the other hand, swim freely over large areas encompassing territories of established females. Juveniles are sometimes seen in tidepools.
They are diurnal and spend most of their waking time grazing on reef structures. At night they seek shelter in the irregularities of reef formations.It is not unusual to see this species associating with the Cortez angelfish, Pomacanthus zonipectus.
It is common to find juveniles of this species acting as cleaner fishes feeding on ectoparasites of hammerhead sharks, manta rays, and other large fishes.
It is reported that king angelfish may have a life span of up to about 15 years.
King angelfish have the same conservation issues that other similar fishes have. Eggs, larval forms, juveniles, and adults are all subject to predation by larger fishes and other marine animals.
These fish are not considered sport or food fish. Their beauty adds to the lure of ecotourism that helps protect them in some areas. They are much coveted by aquarists because of their bright colors and generally hardy health, but are not always readily available and usually demand a high price.
Not listed by CITES or the IUCN Red List.
Special Notes
This species has been seen feeding on the feces of Chromis atrilobata, the scissortail damselfish.

The M.Arch II Program Expands Criticism, History and Theory Concentration
POSTED ON: January 2, 2013
In addition to the existing curriculum of Advanced Design Studio work that culminates in a design-research Thesis project, the Criticism, History and Theory concentration will offer an intensive one-year immersion in the criticism, history and theory of architecture. Emphasis is placed on approaches to architectural analysis and history, the role and contemporary relevance of theory, and the relations between theory and design. Seminars will offer students preparation for careers in journalism, teaching, and eventual doctoral studies, with a broad understanding of the cultural conditions of architectural production and a concentration on excellence in writing. Analysis studios provide a deep insight into the formal and programmatic diversity of historical and contemporary architecture, the process of design, and potential avenues for new approaches towards theory and practice. A required emphasis in Urbanism or Technologies of Representation allows for deeper investigation into specific areas of historical or contemporary architectural theory.
Faculty directly engaged with the Master of Architecture II program (in studios and seminars) include Diana Agrest, Lydia Kallipoliti, David Turnbull, Anthony Vidler, Michael Young, Tamar Zinguer, Guido Zuliani and others. Guest lecturers have included Lucia Allais, D. Graham Burnett, Kurt Forster, Ruben Gallo, Adam Maloof, Joan Ockman, Gyan Prakash and others.
Applications for the 2013-2014 academic year will be accepted through February 1, 2013

19 Ways to Save Up to 10 Bucks
Try these tips to fatten your wallet
En español | Travel with a water bottle. Airport security will let you pass if it's empty. Just fill it at a water fountain after the security checkpoint. It beats paying $5 for a liter bottle at a gift shop. Savings: $10 per round trip.
For some meds, skip your insurance. Ask your pharmacist about the retail price of your prescription medication; it might be cheaper to pay that price. For example, the diabetes medication Metformin costs about $4 for a month's supply, while the average copay is $11. Savings: $7.
Have grease and grime on your hands? A tub of a popular hand cleaner costs $10. But many do-it-yourselfers say if you scrub thoroughly with a teaspoon of cooking oil and some sugar, it works equally well. Others swear by a teaspoon of peanut butter.
Dan Saelinger
Use a carrier on top of your car? Remove it whenever possible. It can reduce gas mileage by as much as 25 percent. That's a three-gallon waste per fill-up, or about $8 in gas.
Use gas advantage programs. Many grocery store chains, including Safeway and Kroger, let you earn a discount at select stations. At 10 cents a gallon, that's $5.20 after four typical fill-ups.
Use ceiling fans more. Air conditioning costs about 36 cents an hour. A ceiling fan: 1 cent per hour. You could save $8.40 for each day without the AC.
Plan to rent a car on vacation? Pack your toll pass transponder device; many can be used at toll plazas in other states. In Illinois, for example, vehicles with an I-PASS device pay half of what the cash lane charges. You'll save $7.50 or more if doing lots of back-and-forth driving.
Sign up for a Twitter feed that offers deals. Sources like @AmazonDeals and @RetailMeNot alert you to discounts. An example: @couponkid recently tweeted a $10 coupon with a purchase of $100 or more at Hotels.com. Also follow @AARPMemberAdv on Twitter for alerts available to AARP members.
Reveal your age! Ask restaurants if they have a senior discount. At 15 percent off, you'd save $7.50 on a $50 dinner for two.
Use baby oil to remove eye makeup. At 25 cents an ounce, it works as well as many brand-name removers, which can cost $4.50 an ounce or more. Savings: at least $4.25 per ounce.
Ladies, use men's shaving gel. It's usually cheaper. (That holds true for many grooming products packaged differently for men and women.) A recent check at Jet.com found that a 14-ounce container of men's shave gel sold for $3.76; the same quantity of a similar women's shave gel was $5.34. Savings: $1.58.
Keep your tires inflated. For every 5 psi of air pressure below normal, you lose 2 percent on gas mileage. For a typical car, underinflated tires can waste roughly a gallon of gas each month (around $2.50) — plus you'll have extra wear on your tires.
Don't buy salon hair products for everyday usage. A brand-name conditioner is $23.94 online for 8.45 ounces. But a store-brand conditioner found at a national chain works well too, at $3.42 for 10.2 fluid ounces. Savings: $2.49 per ounce.
Routinely call or write your cable company, internet provider or TV services to see what they'll do to keep you loyal. Netflix, for example, offered a free month of service. Savings: $8.
Get reimbursed for ATM fees. Most online banks and some traditional banks will reimburse you for fees incurred when you use another bank's ATM. But you have to ask. That's an average of $4.57 per transaction.

Become a pizza chef. The secret is premade pizza dough bought at the store. Add tomato sauce from a jar, cheese, herbs and toppings for a total of about $4 per pizza. Compared with a large one-topping pizza to go, you save about $8.
Make broth. Finished eating the roasted chicken? Boil the carcass for an hour, strain the liquid into a freezable container and you have two quarts of high-quality stock that costs about $6 at the store. Do the same with vegetable peelings, as well as your beef or pork bones.
Tap into your local library from home. OverDrive is a free app that makes it a snap to borrow and read your library's e-book collection on your phone, tablet or computer. Savings: $8.35 (the typical cost of an E-book for Kindle).
Try a parking app. ParkWhiz, SpotHero, Parking Panda and similar apps show you the rates at parking lots near your destination and then let you reserve a space. A search for two-hour parking near a Manhattan address showed one lot charging $15 and another charging $25. Both lots were one-tenth of a mile from the address. Savings: $10.

Well … just when I was getting jazzed about Roger Mason Jr. admitting his Twitter wasn't hacked, Chris Kaman claiming he had inside information that we'd get a full season, the amnesty consensus among owners, Capitol Hill's slow but sure involvement and perhaps even the player's most powerful agents conspiring in the background, everything seemed to be moving forward – maybe, possibly. Now with yesterday's announcement of a pending cancellation of preseason games and the start of training camp, it looks like we're back to square one. Or square two. I'm not really sure what square we were on before yesterday's news, but we've moved backward from that.
Wilson Chandler was right. Anyway, here's the updated outlook on the league's movement overseas.

Strangers on the prairie
Karen Hansen's new book uncovers complicated history of Scandinavian, Native American coexistence in North DakotaIt was an intriguing detail in the stories her grandmother used to tell that set Karen Hansen on a 15-year journey through her family's, and the country's, past.
Hansen's maternal grandmother, Helene Haugen Kanten, came to America in the first years of the 20th century, a young Norwegian girl with golden plaits coiled on her head. Her family planned to homestead in North Dakota.
In fact, the story went, the family ended up homesteading on an Indian reservation, side by side with the Dakota Sioux tribe.
All that was true, Hansen would eventually discover. But the Brandeis professor of sociology and women's and gender studies didn't stop there. In time, she was able to plumb a much more complicated mystery: why her grandmother used to say that Scandinavian homesteaders had "stolen the land" from Dakotas.
With support from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, Hansen began digging and found that her family story was part of a much larger American saga. What she learned formed the basis for her new book, "Encounter on the Great Plains: Scandinavian Settlers and the Dispossession of Dakota Indians, 1890-1930."
Hansen's family lived in a tiny shack on a hill on North Dakota's Spirit Lake Dakota Indian Reservation. Surprisingly, Hansen found that her grandmother's mother was far from the only Scandinavian or the only woman to own land on the reservation at that time.
The Dawes Act of 1887 allotted 160 acres of reservation land to each Dakota male and 80 acres to Dakota women and children. The rest was open for white homesteading. This meant that approximately 100,000 of the 240,000 acres of the Spirit Lake Reservation were available. By 1929, Scandinavians owned more land than the Dakotas.
Poring over local land-ownership records and complaints lodged with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, as well as reading and conducting 130 oral histories with Scandinavian and Dakota elders, Hansen learned about the conflicting sense of community and inequality in which her grandmother was raised.
"We hear a lot and know a lot about Indian wars of the 19th century, the story of dispossession and how dishonorably the U.S. government acted and we know something about contemporary reservations, rife with disease and social ills," Hansen says. "But we don't know much about the period in the middle.
"The Norwegians were farmers," she says. "They came to accumulate land, to make farms to pass along through their family, and Dakotas didn't share that same agricultural sensibility or value acquiring things or land."
Though the Scandinavians benefited from generous homesteading policies, they were also impoverished immigrants trying to begin a new life, says Hansen. They and Dakotas shared an outsider status even as they competed for land and the power it conveyed.
Hansen, who is also the author of "Not-So-Nuclear Families: Class, Gender and Networks of Care" among other books, has long documented disparities in equality and access.
In "Encounter on the Great Plains" she writes, "This book is my effort to reciprocate" for the generosity of those who shared their sometimes tragic family stories with me. "I now realize that I came to this project in order to repair my fractured sense of ethnic identity and remedy my placelessness, as a daughter of an immigrant mother and a restless father who thought that frequent moving was a way to repair mistakes and start over."

How cliche that Transylvania is the setting for today's Champions League encounter between Cluj and Chelsea, given of course that it's Oct. 1 and we're about to be bludgeoned for the next 31 days with the images and sounds of Halloween. Just check out the nearest Target or Wal-Mart if you don't believe me.
The ironic thing is that Chelsea likely has that uneasy queasy feeling in the pit of its collective stomach heading into its Group A match–and it's got nothing to do with being a few kilometers from Vlad the Impaler's shack. No, it's more likely due to the fact that underdog Cluj, fifth in the Romanian table, likely isn't sweating this match. Cluj are the darlings of this tournament having conquerered Roma on Matchday One, winning 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico.
Coming home against the 2007-08 Champions League runners-up should be a breeze.
Well, on any other day, maybe not. Today? Maybe so.
Chelsea is minus four key performers coming into this match, namely Deco, Ricardo Carvalho, Joe Cole and of course Michael Essien– all hamstrung with injuries; Essien for the season. That's a lot of expensive meat on the bench for the Blues so far from home. Expect Didier Drogba back in the Chelsea starting eleven today and his running partner up front will be Salomon Kalou. Jon Obi Mikel will get the call in midfield likely alongside Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard.
Surely Chelsea has enough to stave off the upset; unless of course it falls victim to the same complacency that did in Arsenal against Hull over the weekend. To its credit, Arsenal rebounded in a huge way yesterday, slamming F.C. Porto in London, 4-0.
Manager Luiz Filipe Scolari is saying the right things about his opponent, but understands that semantics don't suit up on the pitch.
"We will treat [Cluj] with total respect. Any team that can win 2-1 at Roma will be dangerous in this competition," he said.
And speaking of saying all the right things, Cluj striker Yousef Kone says Chelsea is four times stronger than Roma right now, making the home team's job–well–four times more difficult.
"Chelsea are a football machine. In the end it's 11 against 11 and the pressure will be on Chelsea, not on us. If they beat us, it would be normal. If we beat them, it would be something fantastic," he said.
So will we see something fantastic? It will be a dramatic, hostile setting for Chelsea against a confident team playing in front of a crowd that is dreaming of an upset. This is Scolari's first test of his managerial mettle at Chelsea–yes even more so than the game against United. He has to move the chess pieces tactically and confidently and the players must execute. Otherwise, Cluj will be in command of the group and Chelsea and Roma will be hammering on each other for second place in the group.

AP Source: Donald Sterling hires 4 private investigators to dig up dirt on NBA heads, owners
LOS ANGELES – A person with knowledge of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's legal strategy says his team of lawyers has hired four private investigation firms to dig up dirt on the NBA's former and current commissioners and its 29 owners.
The individual, who wasn't authorized to talk publicly, says investigators were given a six-figure budget over the next 30 days to examine the league's finances, allegations of previous discriminatory conduct and compensation to past commissioner David Stern and current commissioner Adam Silver. They're also looking into whether other owners ever made any off-color jokes, or racist or sexist remarks.
Sterling is suing the NBA for $1 billion in federal court after the league tried to oust him as Clippers owner for making racist remarks to a girlfriend that were publicized.

Well, it's debatable, but a lot of William Gibson's work could conceivably fall into this category. Maybe his stuff wouldn't quite fit the standard definition of noir (or future noir), but the Virtual Light trilogy (Virtual Light, Idoru, and All Tomorrow's Parties) is at least close.

ForumsGetting Things Done®Derek's GTD setup - Toodledo and Pocket Informant - Opinions?
Derek's GTD setup - Toodledo and Pocket Informant - Opinions?
Posted: Jan 07, 2011
Score: 0 Reference
Hi Everyone,
I have been spending the last few days reading and re-reading these forums and then referring back to David Allen's GTD book. I wanted to post my GTD setup with Toodledoo and Pocket Informant and hopefully get some feedback from others on what they think works and doesn't work. A second pair of eyes often works better.
As you may have read in some of my other posts I have made, I wanted a system that would sync between Toodledo, Android (Phone and Galaxy Tablet), and iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad). To that end I settled upon Pocket Informant because it offered a consistent experience between all the above platforms. However, though Pocket Informant syncs with Toodledoo it does not support all it's features such as sub-tasks. So my solutions needed to work within the parameters supported by Pocket Informant.
Here is my setup ...
1. I do not use sub-tasks
2. Folders are for projects (i.e. "Finish Basement", "Develop Application XYZ", "Buy used plow truck")
3. Contexts (@home, @computer-home, @computer-work, @phone, @errands, etc ..)
4. Status (defines if a task is a "next action" or if I delegated it to someone (like my son for "clean basement"), or if it something I want to think about more.
5. Star (Indicates a task that I want to address today or ASAP)
All these fields sync with Pocket Informant and I can sort my task list within Pocket Informant based on these fields.
The one area that gave me the most problem was that of Status. I was not sure whether to use it or not. My first thought was that it was redundant to mark a task as "next action" as it would not be in my list if it was not something I wanted to act on. The "star" field helps me discriminate on what "next actions" I wanted to address today. In the end though I felt that having a status field allowed me to have tasks in my lists that may not be "next actions". Perhaps they were items I wanted to think about yet still have attached to a project. In the end I decided to keep the status field. However, it would be nice if Toodledo allowed one to change the values present in the Status field instead of having to choose from "pre-defined" values.
In summary ... I know there are many GTD solutions out there but I needed something that utilized Toodledo (because it is affordable ($15/year) .. unlike Nozbe ($10/month)) and synced across all platforms in a consistent manner, hence why I chose Pocket Informant.
Please feel free to make any suggestions or comments. I would love to find ways to tweak this to an even better state. Thank you.
P.S. I should add that one thing that made this solution work for me was the use of the Stylish plugin for Firefox. Using the "Toodleo convert tabs to plane list in right column" style lets me list Projects in a vertical fashion on the right side of the page. Much better than the horizontal tab based layout. Thanks to PeterW in the forums for showing me these. Here are links from Peter's post ....

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) issued the following statement on the passing of Maudelle Shirek:
"I am deeply saddened by the passing of Maudelle Shirek, and my thoughts and prayers go out to her friends and family.
"Maudelle was truly the "godmother of East Bay progressive politics." The former City of Berkeley vice mayor and eight term council member was born and raised in Jefferson, Arkansas. As the granddaughter of slaves, she was passionate about justice and civil rights. After moving to Berkeley in the 1940's, she became active in the anti-war movement, fought on behalf of unions, advocated for HIV/AIDS awareness, and helped organize the Free Mandela Movement. She was the first elected official in the United States to advocate for needle-exchange programs.
"During her tenure as a Berkley elected official, she was instrumental in creating multiple city commissions, including the Berkeley Commission on Labor. When she retired at 92, she was the oldest elected official in California at the time. In 2007, the Berkeley City Council renamed City Hall in her honor.
"I met Maudelle in the early 1970's while I was a student at Mills College. She widened my perspective on global politics during our travels around the world including Vienna, Prague, Cuba, and Czechoslovakia. She reinforced the idea that we are all part of a global family and what happens here in the United States effects our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world and vice versa. Since that time, Maudelle has been a personal friend, mentor, and confidante.
"Maudelle was a health aficionado. She was committed to educating seniors and the entire community on the benefits of healthy living. She loved shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables and you would often find her cooking nutritious meals at the West Berkeley Senior Center.
"We loved to walk Lake Merritt and the Berkeley Marina together where she would talk to me about acupuncture, natural remedies like cayenne pepper and warm water for colds. We also traveled to Calistoga many times because of her love for mud baths and their healing properties.
"Maudelle was a woman of great faith. During the 70's, we enjoyed attending the Church of Tomorrow (Formerly the Church of Today) together. This is where I realized that her passion for service and justice was driven by her commitment to what she called, 'doing the Lord's work on earth.' I will never forget the day she introduced me to the late Rev. Dr. W. Hazaiah Williams and I will never forget the impact that they both had on my life.
"I believe Maudelle's legacy of over 70 years of service to Berkeley, the East Bay, the nation, and the world will inspire many to speak for the voiceless and stand up for justice across the globe. I will deeply miss her wise counsel, support, and love."

The information posted below was sent to us by Ralph Hill. Ralph has asked if there is any chance any of our legislators would craft and submit a similar bill to our state legislators:
Indiana Introduces Bill Nullifying UN 'Agenda 21′
Indiana State Representative Tim Neese has introduced a bill that would block implementation of UN "Agenda 21″ policies in the state.
HB 1021 would amend the Indiana Code concerning state and local administration.
"An Indiana governmental entity may not adopt or implement: (1) certain policy recommendations relating to the United Nations' 1992 'Agenda 21' conference on the environment and development that deliberately or inadvertently infringe on or restricts private property rights without due process; or (2) any other international law or ancillary plan of action that contravenes the Constitution of the United States or the Constitution of the State of Indiana. Provides that an Indiana governmental entity may not enter into any agreement with, expend any sum of money received from, or pay any money to, an 'Agenda 21′ organization.'"
This bill, if passed, would nullify the UN's resolution, which could have scary potential. "Agenda 21" was created to be an action plan for sustainable development worldwide. This agenda, makes a stronger UN, and may be another step closer to a single world government. A section from this agenda reads:
"Agenda 21 stands as a comprehensive blueprint for action to be taken globally from now into the twenty-first century-by Governments, United Nations organizations, development agencies, non-governmental organizations and independent-sector groups, in every area in which human activity impacts on the environment".
It can also be argued that UN "Agenda 21" may be laying out plans for population control. One of the programme areas in the agenda is listed as "improving human settlement and management." Clearly, this power of the UN has dangerous possibilities, strengthens their role, and brings us closer to a "one-world government."
HB 1021 will be assigned to a committee when the House reconvenes on Monday, January 7, 2013

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 27, 2013) – The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced Wednesday the names of six former Buccaneers who will comprise the 2013 induction class to the ETSU Athletics Hall of Fame.
This most recent group will include greats such as basketball All-American Keith "Mister" Jennings, football standout and current Atlanta Falcons' head coach Mike Smith, former men's basketball head coach Ed DeChellis, 1992 Southern Conference player of the year in women's tennis Kim Toohey (Reid), distance running standout and four-time Southern Conference cross country champion Seamus Power, and longtime ETSU public address announcer Norm Davis.
"We are proud to announce today the names of six ETSU greats for induction into the ETSU Athletics Hall of Fame," said ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Richard Sander. "We look forward to a great evening of memories and having a chance to honor each of these inductees for their exceptional accomplishments. It is our hope that many of our fans and supporters from the ETSU family will join us and the inductees on this special night."
The ETSU Athletics Hall of Fame Ceremony presented by Johnson City Honda will be held Sunday evening, May 5 at the Millennium Center located adjacent to the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. The public is invited to attend, and further details will be available at a later date.
This event will be part of an overall weekend of ETSU athletics' activities, which will also include the annual Buccaneer Athletic Scholarship Association All-Sports Golf Tournament on Monday, May 6 hosted by the Blackthorn Club at the Ridges.
For more on the 2013 ETSU Athletics Hall of Fame induction weekend, please visit ETSUBucs.com.
Brief inductee bios can be found below:
1. Keith Jennings - Men's Basketball Student-Athlete, 1989-1991
Considered by many as the greatest basketball player in ETSU history, Jennings was a second-team All-American in 1991 and led the Buccaneers to three straight trips to the NCAA Tournament from 1989 to 1991. Jennings, who ranks fourth all-time in program scoring with 1,988 career points, holds multiple records at ETSU, including career marks for assists (983) and steals (334), single season marks for assists per game (9.1) and steals per game (3.4), and single game marks for marks for assists (19) and free throws made (18). His list of honors include being named the Naismith Award winner in 1991 – which goes to the nation's best player under six feet tall – while also earning SoCon Player of the Year and SoCon Tournament MVP honors during his time at ETSU. He went on to enjoy a long professional playing career, which included four seasons in the NBA (Golden State and Denver).
2. Mike Smith – Football Student-Athlete, 1978-1981
Played for the Buccaneers from 1978 to 1981, leading the team in tackles both in 1980 (120) and 1981 (186), and being named the team's defensive MVP in both of those seasons. While he made a name for himself as a player at ETSU and played professionally in the Canadian Football League for a short time, it is Smith's coaching career that has truly excelled. After spending time in the college ranks, Smith spent several seasons with the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, serving as defensive coordinator there since 2003. He later accepted the head coaching position with the Atlanta Falcons in 2008, and was named NFL Coach of the Year after leading the Falcons into the playoffs with an 11-5 regular season record. He most recently guided the Falcons to the NFC Championship game during the 2012 season.
3. Norm Davis – Announcer, 1963-Present
Davis has served as the public address announcer at ETSU men's basketball and football games for 50 years, first picking up the microphone at a Buccaneer event in 1963. In his years as the "Voice of the Bucs," Davis missed only one football game, and was witness to many of the great moments in ETSU athletic history. He watched Tommy Woods become the first African American player to wear an ETSU uniform on the basketball floor, he called the games of the most successful Buccaneer football teams in 1969 and 1996, and he has witnessed all nine of ETSU's NCAA Tournament seasons. He has done all of this work in a volunteer role.
4. Ed DeChellis - Men's Basketball Head Coach, 1996-2003
DeChellis came to ETSU in 1996 and spent the next seven seasons rebuilding the proud tradition of Buccaneer basketball. Taking a team that had been depleted prior to his arrival, DeChellis ultimately led the Buccaneers to Southern Conference North Division titles in 2001, 2002 and 2003, with the Bucs collecting the SoCon Tournament title and NCAA Tournament berth in 2003. DeChellis ended his time at ETSU with a 53 percent winning percentage and collected 105 victories. He was named SoCon Coach of the Year in 2001 and 2002. He went on to lead Penn State to the 2009 NIT national championship and was named Big Ten Coach of the Year that same season. He is currently the head coach at the U.S. Naval Academy.
5. Seamus Power – Men's Track and Field, 1991-1994
Seamus Power was one of the best Buccaneer athletes of all-time in both cross country and track & field. Power, a five-time All-American, competed from 1991-94 and still holds the 3000-meter record (indoor) at ETSU and in the Southern Conference. Power finished fourth at the 1993 NCAA Outdoor Championships (10,000m), sixth at the 1992 NCAA Championships (5000m), and fifth at the 1993 NCAA Cross Country Championships. The talented Irish runner dominated the Southern Conference, as he was a four-time indoor conference champion in the mile and 5,000-meters, and a three-time champion in the 3,000-meters. The native from Limerick, Ireland also never lost a cross country championship and was named the SoCon Runner of the Year in 1992 and 1993. By claiming the four cross country championships, Power is the only athlete to accomplish the feat in conference history and the only runner to claim four Athlete of the Year honors.
6. Kim (Toohey) Reid - Women's Tennis Student-Athlete, 1988-1992
A four-year member of the women's tennis squad, Kim Toohey enjoyed four stellar seasons in the blue and gold. The 1992 Southern Conference Player of the Year, Toohey finished her career with 62 singles wins, a school record at the time. Also a two-time Academic All-American and four-time Southern Conference Honor Roll selection, Toohey graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1992 with a degree in marketing.

Two Minutes' Hate: The RTC Rivalry Series — Kentucky vs LouisvillePosted by jstevrtc on December 31st, 2010
One of the best things about college basketball is the rivalries. Whether rational or not, rivalries usually manifest themselves through the players and fans of the involved schools in the form of true, unmitigated disdain for the other side. Because we love making trouble, and with apologies to Orwell, we give you the Two Minutes' Hate, a series of posts in which we give fans/bloggers/writers of both sides of a given rivalry a chance to vent about the other side, with minimal but identical prompting from us. We encouraged them to cut loose and hold nothing back, and we'll be doing this with various rivalries throughout the year as such games arise. If you want to nominate a rivalry or even offer a submission, email us at email@example.com. And remember, the published opinions are those of the respondents and not necessarily those of RTC, heh heh.
Today's Rivals: Louisville and Kentucky
First, speaking on behalf of the Cardinals, we have Mike from the excellent Louisville site Card Chronicle. You can follow him on Twitter here. And you should, if for no other reason than because his bio describes him as the "fourth-ranked Chaucer scholar in the Ohio Valley."
1. In your opinion, what was the Ville's greatest win over UK?
The 1983 "Dream Game" without a doubt.
Even after Louisville had established itself as a national power, Kentucky refused to play them. The game finally happened in '83 when the teams were paired in the same region and met in the Mideast Regional championship on March 26 in Knoxville. Despite a buzzer-beating shot by Jim Master to send the game into overtime, the Cardinals ran off 14 straight points in the extra period and prevailed, 80-68.
The U of L community erupted and quickly the governor, legislators and even the boards of trustees at both universities began to talk about a series between the two. Shortly thereafter, the announcement was made that Louisville and Kentucky would begin playing each other annually.
The game played a huge role in making the rivalry what it is today. If Louisville loses that day, the two might still not be playing annually.
2. What was the most painful loss?
Probably the '04 game where Louisville led by 15 at half and as many as 18 before the Cats came all the way back and won it on Patrick Sparks' free-throws with less than a second left. Sparks walked twice. Neither were called. Louisville won the game.
Still, we went to the Final Four a few months later and UK didn't.
