Say hello to 3.21.01 counter-updates from Sony soon. The battle doesn't end.
Learn something?......This is still Sony we are talking about isn't it?
The whole point of the removal was to thwart Gehot's efforts on the PS3 hack.
I'm not 100% on this, but I really don't see Sony taking this lightly. They want to remain unhacked, so this is the way they see fit.
To me, this expands the base of people hacking their console.
I will be completely surprised if this works on the PS3 slim.
I understood that one of the ways Sony cut the price and reduced the size for the slim was that they did not include the IBM hypervisor that made the whole thing possible.

http://www.osnews.com/story/22073/Why_No_OtherOS_Option_on_PS3_Slim_Sony_Answers [osnews.com]
for a few more details)
Without the hypervisor, its just not possible.
I don't believe they have dropped the hypervisor - that's one of the major security strongpoints and partly what has kept the PS3 from being totally pwned by now...
From the osnews article [osnews.com] you linked, they say (with emphasis mine)
I'm sorry that you are frustrated by the lack of comment specifically regarding the withdrawal of support for OtherOS on the new PS3 slim. The reasons are simple: The PS3 Slim is a major cost reduction involving many changes to hardware components in the PS3 design. In order to offer the OtherOS install, SCE would need to continue to maintain the OtherOS hypervisor drivers for any significant hardware changes – this costs SCE. One of our key objectives with the new model is to pass on cost savings to the consumer with a lower retail price. Unfortunately in this case the cost of OtherOS install did not fit with the wider objective to offer a lower cost PS3.
What I read into this is that they don't want to keep updating the hypervisor drivers for OtherOS support with the major hardware changes they made for the Slim, not that they're dropping the hypervisor altogether...
brilliant - I should RTFA that I referenced!
Too bad. I actually liked by PS3. Hopefully something new will come along soon so I won't have to buy an xbox...
There's a little known platform called a "personal computer". It works a lot like a gaming console, except that it isn't crippled at the hardware level by the OEM and has a wider range of software available. You can even install Linux on it
Seriously, I've never understood the appeal of spending serious money on a deliberately crippled computer, when I have a perfectly good one already. Doubly so from a company that even rootkits their audio CDs.
It's probably going to take some good while before its even know that there is a viable way to install custom firmware. If / when it does happen, good luck to the pirates who run the real risk of bricking their machines, who must spend days downloading hug
Both the Wii and 360 have been easy to mod for piracy, you'll note that both units sell rather well. The NDS is the easiest of all to run copied games, it's not exactly a sloth in unit sales either. The PSP failed because the games went shit and peoples' tasted moved away from "real" console like gaming to quicker simpler offerings, just look at gaming on devices like the smartphones. Silly little cheap and cheerful games that lots of people love.
It's been suggested Sony may forced the issue to trigger a mo
Piracy doesn't directly affect system sales. Well, that may not be true, it may actually increase them.
What it does is get the publishers to release less exclusives for it.
Seriously, though, the PS3 is the least pirated current system because it uses Blu-Ray discs. Your two options there are to 1. buy a Blu-Ray burner (expensive) and writable BD-ROMs (expensive?), or 2. have an HDD connected (internal or external) with images of games that could be up to 50GB each.
It says FF:FF:FF etc in the info screen. Thats not right. I wonder if his "firmware" has any side effects he's not letting on about.

I don't know if America has anything like the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission [accc.gov.au] but if you do, I'd urge you to raise this issue with them (and if you're in Australia, please get onto the case).
This is a simple case of a company changing the specs on a product that you have bought, after you've bought it and changing it in an adverse fashion. It is removing a feature that you have paid for and have possibly had for years, without offering any workaround or compensation.
Sony claim that the update is not mandatory, and that it is entirely your choice if you wish to install it or not, but the simple fact is that by not installing the patch, you lose even more functionality than if you do install it. No PSN. No Playstation Store. On online gaming. No access to new games that require this or a newer firmware. No access to bluray content that requires this or a newer version of the firmware. Etc.
Here's the text of the submission I made to the ACCC (you're limited to 1500 characters)
Sony have recently released a firmware update for the PlayStation 3 Games Console.
From what I can see, all this update does is remove a feature from the console. The feature removed is the "Other OS" support - the ability to install another operating system, such as Linux, on the PS3 and use it as a general purpose computer.
Sony claim that the update is not mandatory, however by not installing this update, you lose access to the PlayStation Network, so any games that require this for online play will no longer work. One of the main reasons for owning a PS3 is the online gameplay component.
More information about other features that will be locked out are here on Sony's web site: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/03/28/ps3-firmware-v3-21-update/ [playstation.com]
"Consumers and organizations that currently use the "Other OS" feature can choose not to upgrade their PS3 systems, although the following features will no longer be available; Ability to sign in to PlayStation Network and use network features that require signing in to PlayStation Network, such as online features of PS3 games and chat Playback of PS3 software titles or Blu-ray Disc videos that require PS3 system software version 3.21 or later Playback of copyright-protected videos that are stored on a media server (when DTCP-IP is enabled under Settings) Use of new features and improvements that are available on PS3 system software 3.21 or later"
Sony has just issued a firmware update[1] that disables the "OtherOS" support that is used to run alternate operating systems such as Linux on the Playstation 3 (PS3) game console. This was an advertised feature of the PS3 and was a factor in my decision to purchase the product. The firmware update is effectively mandatory; the PS3 will not support online play or game updates/downloads via the Playstation network without it (these are also advertised features).
That a major consumer electronics company can unilaterally remove advertised features from a product that I have bought and paid for is chilling to say the least and appears misleading and deceptive in the classic "bait and switch" style. I request that the ACCC investigate this matter.

Reply from the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission:
Crikey! Thank you for bringing this egregious behavior to our attention. Effective April 30, 2010, the Sony Playstation 3 is hereby banned for import, sale, and possession in the states and territories of Australia and surrounding lesser islands.
This is why you can't have nice things.
That's obviously a fake, as they didn't sign off with the obligatory:
"Get a dog up ya, mate"
The American equivalent is the FTC, Federal Trade Commission.
You can complete a complaint form at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ [ftccomplai...istant.gov]
Not sure the best address to use on the form, but here is one of them:
Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc.
919 E Hillsdale Blvd 2nd Floor
Foster City Ca 94404-4247
Appropriately, the PS3 blog considers FTC to be a swear word [imageshack.us].
Complaining to the BBB is pointless. SCEA already has an F [bbb.org]... I don't think they can get an F-.
You're right, there is a paragraph in the EULA that Sony are using to justify this "upgrade" however if such an upgrade conflicts with the law, then I'm afraid that it's the law that wins out over the EULA.
That's not entirely true. There's a DNS trick you can do to let you log into PSN with a 3.15 PS3. Just use this as your primary DNS: 22.214.171.124 its your PS3 that determines if you can use PSN, if it thinks you're fully updated you can use it.

I bought PS3 mainly because of OtherOS. Now they remove it. Can I get my money back, the product does not have the features I paid for and wanted? Oh well. Probably there is a paragraph in sony EULA that allows them to do this. There's probably few lines about my soul too..
First, it is not clear how enforceable a EULA is, largely because you are not forced to sign it before using the product. Second, it is not clear where the law will treat the boundary between software and hardware. Third, you cannot sign away your legal rights. This one could take a long time and make a lot of lawyers very rich. I sure fucking wish they would start already, Sony could use some come-uppance.
from "It only does everything" to "It no longer does everything"?

College of Education's CRDG and Singapore to Collaborate on Algebra CurriculumUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Curriculum Research & Development Group
Lani Abrigana, (808) 956-4949
Curriculum Research & Development Group
The Curriculum Research & Development Group (CRDG) of the College of Education at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore recently announced an agreement to collaborate on creating an introductory engineering mathematics course for Ngee Ann students in Singapore. CRDG's Barbara Dougherty and Ngee Ann's Pok Yang Ming and Chia-Khoo Beng Yang will lead a team of curriculum developers who will base the new course on Algebra I: A Process Approach, a curriculum created by CRDG.
Ngee Ann selected the program because it uses problem solving and communication strategiesreading, writing, speaking, critical listening, and multiple representationsthat they believe lead to students' deeper understanding of mathematics. The Singapore group is contributing a technology component to be used for tutorials and online assessments.
The final product, useful for post-secondary students in the United States and elsewhere, will be available for release to Ngee Ann students and other interested institutions in July 2004. CRDG and Ngee Ann staff will also create a professional development institute for post-secondary mathematics instructors to assist them in implementing a program based in problem solving.
The collaboration between CRDG and Ngee Ann grew out of a professional development institute Dougherty presented two years ago in Singapore on using problem-solving instructional approaches in mathematics education. Ngee Ann became interested in CRDG's algebra program, and after the institute, Ngee Ann staff members reviewed their own materials and found them lacking in problem-solving tasks. They approached Dougherty to ask if CRDG would partner with them to create a new program.
Though she was initially surprised by the request, Dougherty said, "On thinking about it, our Algebra I program is a natural fit with the way math is taught in Singapore. Like us, they use increasingly complex word problems to teach students problem-solving skills, encouraging students to find different ways to solve and express problems, not simply memorize formulas taught by a teacher."
Pok said, "My vision for Ngee Ann is that it is on the cutting edge. We want to incorporate effective instructional practices into rigorous mathematics."
Singapore's eighth-grade students achieved the highest scores in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) conducted in 1995 and 1999, the largest international study of student achievement ever undertaken that measures student achievement in mathematics and science. In the 1999 study, the United States ranked 19 out of the 38 countries that participated. The outstanding performance by Singapore's students in TIMSS has generated a growing export of Singapore's mathematics textbooks, which are sought by some educators in the United States seeking to duplicate Singapore's success.
Dougherty added, "Though we're pleased to be of service to mathematics education in Singapore, CRDG staff will also benefit from interacting with faculty from a country where mathematics education has clearly been successful."
Last September, the U.S. Department of Education and the Singapore government signed a memorandum of understanding in which they agreed to cooperate to improve math and science education. The two countries will compare their math and science curricula, share effective practices in teacher preparation and professional development, and seek ways to raise student achievement in the subjects. The CRDG, University of Hawaii— Ngee Ann Polytechnic collaboration is believed to be the first co-authoring partnership of its kind to be announced since the agreement was signed.
CRDG is a research unit of the University of Hawaii's College of Education and has been a developer of innovative educational programs and services since 1966. Ngee Ann Polytechnic is a public educational institution, established in 1963, where 14,000 students study business, engineering, science, information technology, media, and early childhood education.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to make a £20m swoop for Manchester City targets Alen Halilovic and Sime Vrsaljko, according to the Daily Mail.
Manchester United chief executive David Gill travelled to Croatia on Tuesday to hold negotiations over the £15m capture of teenage midfielder Alen Halilovic, dubbed the 'next Lionel Messi', and 20-year-old Sime Vrsajko.
Halilovic and Vrsajko are reportedly top January transfer targets for Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini, but Ferguson is hopeful of sealing a deal to bring the pair to Old Trafford.
Halilovic is rated as one of the hottest young prospects in world football, and a number of Europe's top clubs are thought to have scouted the 16-year-old playmaker.
The teenage star scored his first goal for Zagreb this season, and has been compared to Luka Modric and Lionel Messi.
Manchester City were thought to be keen to bring Halilovic to the Etihad Stadium, but Dinamo's sporting director Zdravko Mamic dismissed City's reported £7m bid out of hand.
Vrsaljko, in contrast, primarily operates as a right-back, and Ferguson is believed to be considering a move for the defender to strengthen his options heading into the title race. The youngster only has Rafael as a right-back, but Chris Smalling and Phil Jones can both deputise at the position.
Gill flew back to Manchester on Wednesday, and the Daily Mail report that United now believe they lead the pursuit for the Dinamo Zagreb duo - at the expense of Manchester City.

With Ward 2 Commissioner Linda Agee pushing for Eastern Red Cedar Tree removal, local Don Forsberg came forward at the Monday, April 15 city commission meeting to commend the commission for their work so far.
With Ward 2 Commissioner Linda Agee pushing for Eastern Red Cedar Tree removal, local Don Forsberg came forward at the Monday, April 15 city commission meeting to commend the commission for their work so far.
"[Red Cedar trees] are not only a fire hazard, but it's a water consuming situation as well," Forsberg said in an interview.
Forsberg said he has been working with various commissions over the years, and so far has had no luck. Until this commission, he said.
"Thank God they're doing something," Forsberg said.
A lake leasee, Forsberg said he would like to see the city take a proactive approach to removing the trees.
"They go up like fire crackers when they catch fire," he said, adding that they produce allergens and consume more water than other plants.
Agee said she would like to see money budgeted to work toward eradicating some of these trees.
"We really have to come up with a good plan," she said. "You also have to look at controlling the encroachment in the future."
She added that she would like to educate private landowners as a part of this plan, in hopes that they would assist in the city's efforts.
"I kind of think if the city shows some initiative and in front of this, that it will encourage others to follow suit," Agee said.
Forsberg said he would like to see everyone contribute a little, but didn't think that leasees, or non-landowners, should be expected to.
"It isn't really fair for the leasees to be burdened with removing these," he said, adding that the city and other organizations allowed the trees to grow out of control, not the leasees.
"But if everybody could contribute a little something to this, it would be good," Forsberg added.
While removal is a good option, Don Turton, associate professor at Oklahoma State University, said it's difficult to tell exactly how much water could be added to runoff without doing Shawnee-specific research.
"We'd really have to know how many cedar trees were there," Turton, who also researches with the OSU Water Resources Center, said.
More red cedar trees could result in less water available for runoff, as these trees don't have a dormant season as grass and other plants do. However, if the red cedar problem surrounding the lake watershed isn't very prevalent, the amount of runoff wouldn't like increase any noticeable amount.
"How big of an increase you'll see really depends on how many red cedar trees are there right now," Turton said.
However red cedar encroachment doesn't take long, he said.
"If you don't do anything now, the problem is only going to get worse," Turton said.
So far the city commission has not taken any action on the matter.

The departing chairman of Alabama's Democratic Party is starting a new organization in hopes of revitalizing the two-party system in the state.
Mark Kennedy is organizing a new group called the Alabama Democratic Majority as he steps down as head of the state party.
Kennedy says it's a non-profit that will work on voter education, registration and participation.
The former Supreme Court justice is leaving the party chairmanship after a split with its longtime vice chairman, Joe Reed.
Kennedy has been chairman since 2011. He's the husband of Peggy Wallace Kennedy, the daughter of former four-term Gov. George Wallace.
Once the state's dominant political party, Democrats currently don't hold any statewide offices in Alabama.

I love this program, but the only thing I don't like though is I can't specify a terminal emulator that isn't on the list for the -t flag. I believe that it would be much better to have that ability as I prefer the terminator terminal. In order for me to use this I still have to manually edit the menu file in my fluxbox setup
This is an excellent tool to build menus for window managers. It seems to be starting to give some deprecation errors lately since the code is so old now. It would be marvelous if someone with python skills would revise it and update the code.
great for IceWM user. it can solving menu by manual entrying.

Trans noise?
Posted 03 August 2010 - 09:32 PM
New brakes all around.
new front wheel bearings both sides.
New pass side drive shaft.
both ball joints.
replaced a bad e brake cable.
2" lift
I still have noise from the front end only when I accelerate, at 15 miles per hour the sound starts. like a rubbing but not a tire. As long as I stay on the gas it makes the noise. when I let off nothing no sound at all.
Should I start looking for a new trans, Or check into replacing bearings?
it's a 86 DL 5 speed D/range.
Posted 03 August 2010 - 11:42 PM
How does it feel when you engauge the clutch?

And not once do they mention the Differential stub or servicing it.
Anyone else...?
Posted 06 August 2010 - 10:13 PM
I also found out that in order to change the stub bearing you would have to pull the trans and split the case to get the stub out. BUT, there is a sleeve behind that ring with the fins which could be worn.
Just an idea on something to check

Will the pinion need to be reshimed if I change the stub axle bearings?
Play in the pinion bearing. Would this be a bad bearing or a bad case?
Posted 08 August 2010 - 10:02 AM
Posted 09 August 2010 - 10:31 AM
case split. the passenger side stub bearing race was sitting on top of the bearing when I split the case. I put the race in the case half it wouldn't go in without tapping it, don't think the case is pounded. I'll put in new one and see how it goes.

New Hanover's Jacen Murphy was a bright spot in the Wildcats season-ending loss to New Bern last Friday. The senior wide-receiver capped off his high school career with six catches for 95 yards and an 88-yard kickoff return, setting up a New Hanover touchdown. Due to his tremendous effort and productivity, Murphy earned this week's honor of Star-News Player of the Week.
How did you feel after your final game as a Wildcat?
It was difficult knowing it was my last season in high school. I just wish I could have changed and fix mistakes we made in the last game. I'm really going to miss all of my teammates.
What would you have done different?
I wish our defense or our offense would have executed better. The game went how it went and it was a great season.
What is something you learned or experienced during your high school career?
I grew as a person during my career. I was a little more immature. I didn't play my junior year and that time off I was able to find myself. I accomplished some of the stuff I set forth for myself and had a great senior year. It feels good to know how far I've come as a player and a person. I'm going to continue to do it. I grew up a lot I grew up as a person.
Where will you be attending school in the fall?
February 6th, everybody will know my decision.
Who do you look up to?
I look up to my older brother Chace. He told me not to be scared. He was always in my ear about grades. He always would do anything for me. He told my mother that he would rather me make it than himself. I wouldn't be where I am today without him.
What is it going to take to be successful on the next level?
Keep consistent with everything I've done. Never get complacent and keep working. I think it all goes back to heart. I'm prepared for anything.
How will you spend your offseason?
During the winter I'll be working out, figuring out where I'm going in the fall. Later in the spring, I'll be doing track. I'll be getting myself ready for next season.
What sets you apart from everyone else?
My heart. I feel that if it needs to be done, I will do it. I believe in myself. I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Whatever it takes to win.

Submission + - U.S. Broadband Adoption of 10 Mbps and Higher Nearly Doubles in a Year (enterprisenetworkingplanet.com)
darthcamaro writes: ok we all know that the U.S. doesn't have the fastest broadband in the world, but it is gaining 'fast' (pun intended). The latest Akamai State of the Internet report pegs U.S. adoption of High Broadband, that is broadband with access of 10 Mbps at 15 percent. While that number may not seem high, it's 95 percent higher than it was this time last year.

As St Valentine's Day, a celebration of love and romance, is celebrated this month we're taking a closer look at a rather beautiful object . In the Royal Armouries collection is a richly decorated pistol, its many amorous motifs suggest that it is a lover's gift.
It was most likely made purely for show rather than for actual use. The decoration includes a sprig of forget-me-nots and the inscription 'VER GIS MEIN NIT' (forget me not). The forget-me-not flower is regarded as an emblem of loving remembrance, faithful love, constancy and undying hope. The very ornate piece is also dated 1581. It can be seen on display in the Presentation Arms case on the Fifth Floor of our Leeds Museum.
You can find out more about the objects in our collection by searching our online database.

What the Fudge
Celebrity collaborations and products have saturated the marketplace (perfume, cosmetics, clothing lines, accessories, hair care), but celebrity restaurants are not as prevalent as they used to be. Remember Madres (Jennifer Lopez), Nola (Britney Spears) and Geisha House (Ashton Kutcher and others)? It was very mid-2000s, like Ebola Hilton and Hyde Lounge.
I suspect the celebrity restaurant trend faded for several reasons: chefs are now celebrities in their own right, poorly run restaurants can be money pits, and the general sh-ttiness hit mid-range restaurants very hard. (Eva Longoria seems to have found success with Beso, though I'm sure partnering with controversial celebrity chef, Todd English, helped.)
But with the growing group of mocktresses jockeying for cookbooks and curated capsule collections and creative director positions, there's only so much attention we can pay to the next line of reasonably priced handbags.
Now Jessica Biel, who has always dabbled in the business of good taste, is looking to open a children's restaurant called Au Fudge. (Eater has confirmed a space has been leased.)
Let me say quickly that I don't hate the concept. I like it when restaurants are explicitly family-friendly or not - I think it makes it easier on everyone.
So, what does Jessica Biel know about running a restaurant? Um, probably about as much as she knows about interior design. But when has that ever stopped an actress from enlightening us with her lifestyle expertise?
In terms of building a brand, Jessica has a lot going for her: she's very pretty, is dressed by top designers, has great street style and is married to a pop star/actor (I know, I know). Now she just needs to decide what that brand will be.
The restaurant will find its audience with moms who use the same nannies, preschools, gymborees, playgrounds and private schools as Biel's friends like Jennifer Garner. Tapping into that market will be part of Jessica's strength, but what else should she do?
If I were on her team, I would cross foodie/cook/baker off the list. It's too crowded (Gywneth, Blake, Drew etc.) and if you do comfort food, you get slammed for promoting unhealthy eating, but if you focus on organic, non-GMO, dairy-free, sugar-free, gluten-free options, you are alienating people who don't want or can't afford to feed their families that way. Best to hire a celebrity chef – he or she can do the cooking, and Jessica can (pretend) to do the eating.
She could take on the décor thing though, setting the right atmosphere for the "right" kind of family (I picture Eames elephants, Oeuf high chairs and owl-print wallpaper). She expressed an interest in this with her Domaine collaboration (click here for a refresher), and her husband tried his hand with HomeMint (which is currently on an "extended staycation").
Interior design could be an excellent strategy for her – the restaurant will be photographed extensively, of course, and pieces could be duplicated for a home décor line; a little bit of Au Fudge could be in nurseries all over the world. Who would buy this? The same kind of people who would go to a restaurant just because it's owned by a celebrity. Moms who look for design ideas from Petit Tresor, but don't have $2,000 to spend on a white silk velvet glider. The kind of North American parent who calls a stroller a "pram." In short, people who have Gwyneth Paltrow taste on a Tori Spelling budget. (Lainey: and the people who prefer black ribbon Christmas trees.)

CANYON, Texas—It will be the trip of a lifetime when 13 West Texas A&M University students travel to Bolivia May 12 as the 2012-2013 Readership WT Ambassadors.
But first, family and friends will join with WTAMU faculty and staff members at 1 p.m. just outside the Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport's security gates to wish the travelers farewell. The group includes the 13 students whose essay-writing skills won them the all-expense paid trip to Bolivia, plus two members of the University faculty and a student peer leader. The 12-day trip will take them to La Paz, El Alto, Isla del Sol and Copacabana.
The trip marks the sixth international sojourn for winners of a Readership WT essay contest. Each of the trips has related to the Readership WT book selection, and this year's journey to Bolivia is no different. The Heart and the Fist is author Eric Greitens's account of his growth in leadership through humanitarian efforts and as a Navy SEAL. He takes readers on a journey through slums and war zones and shows what can be accomplished through compassion and courage. His words encourage readers to live a meaningful life by doing good and being strong.
The WTAMU group will start off in La Paz, meeting with Mujeres Creando, a women's rights organization and visiting the studio of Aymara artist Roberto Mamani. On May 15 the students will travel to El Alto, where they will learn how the Compa Trono organization uses art to help the homeless youth of the area. They also will learn about spirituality from Aymara healers and visit a local university.
Homestay visits begin May 16 in the Challa community of Isla del Sol. Here the students will take on a service projects working with students at Challa schools and also help the community with the construction of its multicultural center. The homestays also will give the WTAMU students an opportunity to learn more about the people of Challa, their culture and the role mysticism and spirituality plays in their everyday lives.
The remainder of the trip will provide opportunities for the students to participate in a multiculturalism and indigenous rights conference in La Paz. The students will attend workshops and seminars and participate in a major cultural celebration to close out the two-day conference.
The trip, originally scheduled for spring break, was postponed because of a personal emergency with the in-country partners. Postponing the trip ended up paying off in expanded opportunities for the group.
"It's given the students more time than usual to get to know each other and connect as a group," Kendra Campbell, director of First Year Experience and a trip sponsor, said. "They've had double the time this year, and the group is closer and more comfortable as we embark on our journey. Another bonus is that we get to participate in the multiculturalism and indigenous rights conference. It's a very unique opportunity."
Joining Campbell on the trip will be Dr. Amy Andersen, head of the Department of Education, and Daniel Zewde, a senior mass communication/public relations major from Amarillo, as peer leader. The 13 freshmen traveling to Bolivia are listed by hometown and major.
Abilene Emily Lomax, pre-nursing major Amarillo Alex Deaton, pre-medicine major Anton Cassie Ann Jones, wildlife biology major Claude Tessa Davis, mass communication/broadcasting major Dallas Eric Casiano, sociology major Hereford Mireya Jacuinde, social work major Lubbock Davon Harewood, accounting major Mercedez Hernandez, pre-medicine major Muleshoe Justin Schacher, undeclared major Petersburg Wade Fullingim, general business major Stratford David Acosta, mathematics major Vernon Alyssa Hickenbottom, psychology major Wellington Silvia Soto, undeclared major

Skip to comments.Mark Levin: Scarborough 'Can't Hold a Candle to Sarah Palin'
Posted on 01/29/2013 12:28:38 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Conservative talk radio host and scholar Mark Levin assailed MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Monday for slamming Sarah Palin and implying that Palin--and the Tea Party--was fading away and losing influence.
On Monday morning, Scarborough joyously claimed on MSNBC's Morning Joe that Palin and the Tea Party did not represent the future of the conservative movement and implied those like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie did.
On his talk radio show, Levin said Scarborough "can't hold a candle to Sarah Palin."
Levin said Scarborough's attack on Palin represented "cowardice," was "cheap," and symbolized a co-host playing to his liberal "media masters" at NBC. He accused Scarborough of hosting a show on "the most repugnant, repulsive, and discredited cable network in America," which he referred to as "MSLSD." Levin said Scarborough uses his platform to shoot "spitballs" at conservatives, statesmen, and leaders.
Levin also called it "disgraceful" that the National Review, a magazine Levin said he "grew up with" and used to "revere," promoted "this buffoon" last weekend.
Levin was referring to the magazine's "Future of Conservatism" conference at which Scarborough spoke. He said "nobody" thinks Scarborough represents the future of conservatism and called Scarborough a "joke."
"What has Joe Scarborough ever done for the conservative movement?," Levin indignantly asked, adding that he fits perfectly in MSNBC's "conga line" of "freaks and misfits."
Levin marveled that Scarborough would consider his vapid co-host Mika Brzezinski to be a "thoughtful and intelligent lady." He said Scarborough could not even succeed with "buffoons" on talk radio and found a niche on MSNBC, where he is adored by the mainstream media elite for ripping conservatives...

"The website is not available right now. Please try back again later.
The bat-eared-b**tard also cannot hold a candle to Sarah.
She has a list of genuine accomplishments - which were earned by her and her alone.
He - on the other hand - is a talentless quota baby with a made up background.
And - without libtard "guilt", he'd still be trying to keep his job at McDs (where he'd have had to lie in order to get hired).
Levin rocks
My favorite tribey
a small club admittedly but to me he is the best voice of conservatism today period...a helluva man
*except for his WBTS views
God love him
Hey Joe, whatever really happened to Lori Klausutis?
I forgot all about that I wonder also Joe has child molester eyes
Joe never did explain how a dead intern was found in his office..but remember, when liberals murder people its all good..its a "right"
Scarborough is a pretty low standard.
That's in the neighborhood of "damning with faint praise", if you ask me.
I guess it was a "growth" experience for him, and gave him the "cachet" of posing as a faux conservative on the lowest-rated TV network in the country with a band of like-minded America haters. He and "Sgt" Schultz must get lots of yuks cashing their checks.
Sarah with Marks book speaks volumes about her character (as does Ubama with Zakaria's book)
Scarborough's major accomplishment is getting away with murder. Although he did have to leave the Congressional Whorehouse.
Who knows what Sarah's future will be....
But I'd bet Chris Christie switches parties.
I love it when Mark takes calls from liberals. It's a beautiful thing.
Levin's the only guy who really gets it today. He is right on about everything that is and has been going on. I used to think he was just a crank, but there was good reason for it.
GO Mesta!
GO Sarah!
She's still my hero, KC. If she never runs for anything ever again, I will always respect, admire, and wish her the greatest rest of her life possible.
I so wish there were more Sarahs to look up to.

No bench because team had 1 lotto draft pick this whole decade, and player development is not as good as the Spurs'
The Lakers are now dumping 1st round picks like they were candy. They are dumping their player development in favor of getting top heavy.
There aren't many teams that have 4 players making 10+ million and they have the highest paid player in basketball. When you spend money on premium talent you don't have much left for mediocre or prospect talent.
Their last decent 1st rounder was Sasha and he was a good contributor to the bench during their championship seasons.
Their second round picks have all been awful (as expected).
That's why they haven't built a bench. B/c in championship seasons, the Laker first round picks were bench players (Farmar, Sasha, D George). Now their bench players are journeymen...

Helicopters are complex, unwieldy machines. In games, their difficulties are either flat-out ignored (Twin Cobra) or make for one of the steepest learning curves you'll ever face (Battlefield 2). Under Defeat is a balancing act that exists between these two extremes. It controls unlike any other shoot-em-up on consoles, but that may not be a good thing, depending on your preference.
One thing is for certain, you'll need to earn your piloting license to fly in these very, very unfriendly skies.

XCOR Aerospace does this. Anyone who works on a vehicle, or manages someone who does, gets a ride in the vehicle. It's actually important that it be everyone, not just the high level people -- or, if you can't do everyone for logistical reasons, a randomly chosen sample. Managers can motivate the people they manage, but only within limits. It's not fair to ask the manager to trust his group's work if the rest of the group won't do the same.
I'm told this was also done for Vietnam War helicopter maintenence -- after major servicing, the chief mechanic rode on the checkout flight.
So how long before these are available at Army Surplus? I have some cute ideas for mods.
So how long before these are available at Army Surplus? I have some cute ideas for mods.
To be honest, this is a robot with a Fricking Awesome Machine gun, much MUCH cooler than sharks with lasers on their heads, what mods would u possibly need to add!
Camouflage for urban areas?
Don't mind me, just thinking out loud...
Check Iraqi Ebay, they have all sorts of cool military "surplus" for sale.
Actually, in all warfare the enemy is first made to look inhuman. Not only soldiers, but whole nations are bombarded with propaganda (i.e. brainwashed) about the horrible enemy and the necessity to protect their homes, families and way of life.
America is nowadays bombarded with anti-terrorist propaganda in much the same manner, and the way you treat your prisoners of war^W^W^Wcaptured enemy combatants suggests that you don't think of them as human either.
Therefore, in order to weasel out of these laws, robots would merely have to do the very same thing humans do.
If a robot isn't allowed to harm a human, how exactly is it supposed to kill enemies in a war?If they don't get robots this far, please don't give them guns, ever. EVER.
On second thought.
and then had to stop some of the visions popping up from the depths of my obviously depraved mind...
There is nothing new about having lives depend on software.
Air traffic control, medical devices, nuclear power stations, space travel
My point being, it's not impossible to achieve an acceptable level of safety in these cases. (Although it's expensive). So it's not necessarily impossible here.
One obvious feature
See what happens when you remove the talon's phallic inhibitor that restricts the Centurions', um robots', higher functions.
[Note to self: don't piss off 6.]
Am I the only one having trouble that an invading force, armed with the most high-tech toys (in experimental phase) is just using these low-tech rebellians as cannon meat? Using remote controlled guns "to avoid friendly casualties" (the invading force) sounds wrong if the kill ratio is so much out of proportion (the "they are killing us" argument doesn't add up for an invading force).
I just know, that if there'd be an invading force, no matter how technical advanced, killing a rediculious amount of people, I'd aim for them and fight with my life too. No matter how misguided my beliefs could be or of those murdered.
Using remote controlled guns "to avoid friendly casualties" (the invading force) sounds wrong if the kill ratio is so much out of proportion
Kill ratio doesn't mean much of anything. See, eg. a ground war between the US and China. Would you be oh-so-happy about being overrun and wiped out by a horde of Chinese soldiers, because, after all, the kill ratio is much higher on the US side?
The kill ratio in Iraq is, in no small part, because US soldiers DON'T have a kill-bot that they can send in to just take ou
Back in the 80s, when Star Wars was all the rage, the US military was caricatured as read too much science fiction. Now their killer robot has turned against its masters and they are acting surprised, it looks like they are reading too little science fiction.
When will they get the balance right?
Stupid article. Real problem.
The SWORDS robot isn't autonomous; it has the autonomy level of an R/C car.
Something like this happened in the 1980s with the Sgt. York Air Division Air Defense Gun, which was an automated antiaircraft weapon. During a demo, it pointed its guns at the reviewing stand. The project was canceled. (Arguably, it was canceled for other reasons. The DIVAD was built as a response to the USSR's ZSU, their radar-directed anti-aircraft gun. This class of weapon is useful if you're being attacked by a squadron of helicopters, but it can't hit fast-movers like fighter-bombers. Only the US attacks with large numbers of helicopters, because you have to have both a big budget and air superiority to do that. So it wasn't something the U.S. Army needed to defend against. A few guys with Stingers could stop any small scale helicopter assaults.)
The point, though, is that the U.S. military has a very low tolerance for this class of mistake, and sizable projects have been canceled for it. This was the very first deployment of an armed ground combat robot to a war zone. Three units went to Iraq. The cancellation of the project is a sizable blow to the future of armed combat robots.
So after reading the article and associated links, I gather that:
1. The U.S. Army commissioned Foster-Miller to modify their TALON remote-controlled vehicle to carry and operate various types of weapons. The modified vehicle is named SWORDS, and erroneously described as a "robot", although it is neither human-like in appearance nor autonomous in operation.
2. Some time later, the Army canceled the production order, citing an "unexpected movement" of a single test unit.
3. Simultaneously, the Army purchased, from the same company, a bigger, badder version of the same product [foster-miller.com].
Folks, this isn't a failed robotic uprising [theregister.co.uk]. It isn't even the over-reaction of a safety-conscious Army Executive [popularmechanics.com]. This is an excuse to kill a little project in order to start a bigger one.

As part of its Kinect reveal (the technology formerly known as Project Natal), Microsoft has unveiled a new black Xbox 360 that will go on sale this week, featuring built-in 802.11N wireless networking and a 250 GB hard drive. The new 360 is also slimmer than it's predecessor (though arguably not exactly "slim"), and is said to run quieter, as well. Several games were shown off on the revamped console, as outlined in this Live Blog of Microsoft's E3 2010 Press Conference. Word is this will carry an MSRP of $299.99 USD, same as the current "Elite" model. Word is that older models will receive price cuts, with Elites to cost $249.99 USD and Arcades to be $149.99 USD.

LONGMONT -- Longmont police reported on Tuesday that three women in northeast Longmont have reported that a man on a bicycle grabbed their buttocks as he rode by them.
The incidents were reported on Aug. 8 at the intersection of East 21st Avenue and Alpine Street; on Sept. 26 on at the intersection of 21st Avenue and Collyer Street; and the third incident was reported on Oct. 3 at the intersection of Collyer Street and Emery Drive. In the first case, the woman described the man as a tall, skinny Hispanic man, between 5-foot-9 and 6-feet tall, who spoke to her in Spanish and blew her kisses. He was riding a blue bike. In the second case, the woman also described a Hispanic man about 6-feet tall, who was in his late-20s to mid-30s, with a medium build who possibly had some light stubble on his face. He also blew her kisses. In the most recent case, police reported, the man was described as a Hispanic man in his late 20s who was riding a dark-colored bicycle and blew her kisses.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Longmont Police Department at 303-651-8501.

Homer Electric Association (HEA) members were given an opportunity in Kenai and Homer last week to learn about the latest advances in energy technology and conservation at HEA's fourth annual Energy & Conservation Fair. The purpose of the fair according to Joe Gallagher is to help HEA members learn ways to reduce their energy costs, "It all started when we continued to get questions from our members about what they could do to reduce their electric bill. We can't do a whole lot about the energy price because it is dictated by factors like fuel costs outside of our control, so we started to think about ways to manage consumption and reduce the amounts of energy used which translates into a lower electric bill. So we decided to gather the experts that understand this issue together in one setting and have our members ask their questions directly. We thought originally it would be a one year event but technology is changing so rapidly it needed to be an annual event in order to bring the latest information forward," explained Gallagher.
Twenty five such experts gathered November 3rd at Kenai Middle School and November 10th at West Homer Elementary. From heating sources to hybrid cars recycling to solar and wind energy vendors were on hand to offer the latest information. "A hybrid is a vehicle that gives you the option of running off of electric power assisted by a gas powered engine which extends fuel efficiency, but still delivers good performance on Alaskan roads" said Kimberly Stalker of Stanley Ford. She noted that Stanley Ford has some hybrids coming in soon that will be available for test drives. With wind generators becoming more visible Ben Bachand, operations manager for Lime Solar, LLC was on hand to explain the latest in wind and solar energy availability, "Residential and commercial investment is going into wind generation today and we actually offer financing for residences as well as commercial uses with up to $40,000 available for residences. The payback depends on how much wind you have at your location, so we go out to your location and gather data with a data logger before we ever issue a quote so that we can estimate precisely what the payback will be, but it is usually less than ten years," Bachand told the Dispatch.
The energy fairs also included door prizes and kids activities like recycling relays and a conservation voyage with HEA's mascot Louie the Lightning Bug. "The Fair was a huge success thanks to the efforts of all our vendors. The Fair is a community event and this year a special thanks goes to our sponsors in the business community who helped make it happen. Gold sponsors this year include Hilcorp Alaska LLC, Touchstone Energy, Stanley Ford, and Tesoro. Silver sponsors were Home Depot, Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, Kenai Peninsula Builders Association, HiSpeed Gear, Brown's Electrical Supply Co., Spenard Builders Supply, Grant Aviation, and Alaska Warm Wood," said Gallagher.

For kids, eating habits are all about their parents' lifestyle choices and the behaviors they see modeled for them. When the adults in the house choose chips over veggies and spend most of their downtime sitting on the couch, it's hard for kids to make better choices.
Getting a tired, moody, stressed or emotionally troubled teen to improve his nutritional intake might be a struggle. By following some basic guidelines, parents can help their teens create healthy eating patterns that will empower them to feel and look good. The payoff is plenty — teens just have to see it to believe it.
By now your teenager's eating habits are pretty set in stone — but if sugary, greasy and fizzy are their main meal categories, this is the perfect time to help them change course.
Robert and Jeanne Segal are publishers of Helpguide.org, an organization that aims to empower individuals to make healthy choices to prevent and resolve life's challenges. They suggest that the best way to get teens to make dietary changes is to present ideas in terms they understand — by showing them the short-term consequences of chronically eating unhealthy foods.
Explain to your teen that better dietary habits and an active lifestyle lead to improved appearance, better sleep, improved athletic ability, better moods and overall improvement in their enjoyment of life. The Segals suggest saying things like, "Calcium will help you grow taller during your growth spurt," and, "Iron will help you do better on tests and stay up later without being as tired."
Coax kids to get 60 minutes of physical activity per day with something they enjoy doing. The activity doesn't have to be a sport — the goal is to get kids moving in whatever makes them happy and active. Encourage your teen to walk the dog, jog, play tennis at the park, shoot hoops, rollerblade, swim, bike or go to the gym. Parents should watch how they coax kids into making these changes. "It's a fine line between teaching and preaching, but it will pay big health dividends down the line," the Segals explain in their online article, Nutrition for Children and Teens. Most importantly, when parents eat healthier and get active, the changes become a lifestyle habit rather than something kids have to do.
Puberty is a time of hormonal changes and dramatic growth spurts for teens. Children gain about 20 percent of their adult height and 50 percent of their adult weight during adolescence. Because the changes are so dramatic and rapid, a teen's nutritional requirements increase, particularly for protein, calcium, iron, folate and zinc.
Ironically, our society's obsession with being skinny and mirroring magazine models has led to a generation of unhealthy teens with low self-esteem and distorted body images. Such kids — particularly girls — are at risk for eating disorders.
Yet, what might seem "fat" to teens and parents could be the normal growth by-product of puberty. Puberty hormones cause girls' bodies to develop curves by depositing fat in areas around the breasts, hips and thighs.
Dietitians with Nutrition.com suggest that before parents focus on their teenager's weight (creating self-esteem issues in the process), they should take a realistic inventory of their own bodies.

– As PWMania.com reported yesterday, WWE Diva Rosa Mendes called out Brad Maddox on Twitter for a video of her changing in the Divas locker room. The video was actually made by a fan who is known for impersonating WWE stars on social media. The video was posted by a fake Brad Maddox and edited in with clips from his recent YouTube show. The woman in the video is not Rosa. Here's what Rosa tweeted, not knowing that it wasn't the real Maddox:
"@BradMaddoxIsWWE nice move to get more followers. You are a nobody and you will always be a nobody! If ur going make a fake video find someone hotter!! I look nothing like that!! You are such loser! You burned bridges with the wrong Diva!"
– Tyson Kidd and Justin Roberts both celebrated career milestones on Thanksgiving. They tweeted:

Roberts: "It began 16 years ago today, Sonny Rogers allowed me to announce a match on his wrestling show in Waukegan, IL. #Thankful Happy Thanksgiving"

Open Source Driver For Microsoft Surface 2.0 31
dartttt writes "Florian Echtler has developed an open-source driver for the Microsoft Surface 2.0 touch screen. According to him, the open source implementation works surprisingly well on Ubuntu 11.10. The process requires you to boot Linux on your Surface 2.0 in the first place. However, it can be done by just booting Ubuntu from a USB hard disk without modify anything on the original Win7 installation."

I'm 32, the very 1st piece of Anime I ever watched was a short film on MTv's Liquid Television called "The Running Man". I was dumbfounded by the style, especially the blood, never seen blood in a "cartoon" before. I didn't even know it was anime till years later. After that it was Robotech and anything they would play on the Sci-Fi Channel.
I'm 29 and have been watching anime for seven years or so, and I will still be watching anime when I'm 100...
yes, I will live that long
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

Thats what I mean... if it wasnt for "older" people we wouldnt even have anime! :D
I feel that the taboo of 'watching cartoons' is fading more and more every generation which makes me happy. When I am an old timer you better bet I will be watching anime!
I cant wait to have kids and get them to watch anime I like as well lol.
If music be the food of love, play on!
I am 43, and have notices that a lot of anime is indeed for dirty old men like myself.
one of the ancient ones...lol 59
I thought you meant fans of older anime. I'm a youngin, but I do like the classics quite a bit.
If I reach 103 I will still be watching anime. I don't think you are ever to old to watch anime. Anime has a wide variety of shows that appeal to a wide age demographic.
Every Gundam series is the best Gundam series
Well, certainly not the oldest, 26, but the first anime I seen was Kiki's Delivery Service when I was 5 since my older sister (who's now 34) would rent anime VHS tapes from a local video rental chain that had it's own anime section. She also rented the first series I seen which was Bubblegum Crisis then later on in the years I would wake up super early to watch Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, and Samurai Pizza Cats. I remember a time the Sci-Fi channel would play anime movies such as Vampire Hunter D, Metropolis, and Akira Saturday nights. My childhood buddy and I would watch anime at my grandma's place all the time. As time went by he stopped watching anime as did my most of my other friends from elementary school, about only four of my current friends still watch anime and we are peculiar about which series we watch. I do notice that most people my age did watch anime at some point, but then later stopped albeit the only series they know are Sailor Moon, DBZ, and maybe Gundam so they weren't really exposed to other genres that might have kept their interest. The younger generation have better access to anime now that I'm pretty sure they can find a series that caters to their tastes to keep them interested.
Once during Jury Duty, roughly 6 years ago, there was an older woman, if I had to guess she was most likely in her mid 50s, who was watching Pokemon earlier in the day and then Ranma 1/2 after lunch on her laptop as we waited to be called up to be jurors. If it brings you happiness, then enjoy it and good thing that there are sites like crunchyroll where fans can communicate and discuss similar interests in anime and such.
Hello to all of my fellow "older" anime fans. One thing I noticed as time passed by was that a lot of my friends have sort of drifted away from all of the things that made us who we were, the things that we enjoyed the most. I say screw that! I'm 33 (will be 34 this month) and I say you only live once. Enjoy it while you can and if that includes watching anime and reading manga then so be it. There are plenty of like-minded individuals and this forum proves just that.
Where is she?
Never let other people or their opinions dictate what you're passionate about. I'll be 40 in a month and I have been watching anime for almost 30 yrs. I do feel that CR is skewed younger and I do wish there were more mature anime titles being produced. Remember Legend of the Overfiend? That's not to say that I want more anime like that, but titles like Berserk and Cowboy Bebop are certainly for mature audiences. Awesome thread BTW. It does seem like us "older" folks aren't as vocal on the forums, but that probably due to us not needing to comment on every single thing. We didn't grow up with the internet so I think it's just a generational thing. Art is for everyone period... But compare CR forums to say the comment threads on ccn.com or Huffingtonpost.com and you can see that anime fans are far more open minded than the average person IMO.
and I walk around like I got a 36" chain.
I'm 19 and I always thought if there was a day I wouldn't like anime anymore. It's nice seeing older fans out there. Maybe there is hope afterall haha
Thinking of something cool to say...
I may have posted on here once already, can't remember, I will continue to watch anime as long as there is good anime to watch. It's been stipulated in my living will. No breathing tubes, just let me die watching anime. (okay that's a joke) but pretty much sums up how I feel.
I never liked cartoons when I was very young, Mighty Mouse scared me and made me cry. (For those of you that remember Mighty Mouse.) I didn't like him fighting the bad guy. Who knew sword fighting could be so much fun to watch? That, a good story and art..what's not to like? I don't get to discuss this with people my age, I haven't found any anime lovers in my peer group so it's cool to find them on here.
And, the best part of being older as in not young at all..I really don't give a rat's patouty what people think of me anymore. Old Fartdom has it's perks.
There is no such thing as too old when it comes to anime :P. I'll be watching anime in my grave.
I am also an older anime watcher and also wondered if i'm suppose to be interested into something else. i came up to the conclusion that i love and am satisfied with watching anime in all shapes and forms so do not feel left out.
I loved Watching Toonami and, the Toonami:Rising Sun on Saturdays. I'm 24 now and, I still love Anime.

"The City & The City" begins with the discovery of the body of a young woman and proceeds with an investigation into her violent death. But although there surely is a whodunit element to this dramatic adaptation of the novel by China Mieville, the main mystery is not so much about the identity of the perpetrator of this terrible crime, but about its location.
As its title implies, "The City & The City," which premiered Monday night at the Lifeline Theatre on Chicago's North Side, is about a divided town, Beszel and Ul Qoma, with mostly hostile relations. At first, you think you are in some sci-fi version of old East and West Berlin, replete with fervent nationalists on both sides, a heavy totalitarian-style gestalt, and forces of unification agitating in the shadows. But as the piece moves along — we follow the noir-style narration of the investigating gumshoe, one Inspector Borlu — it seems that the division may not be physical but metaphysical, or ideological, or cultural, or mostly a construct of political masters. And a third entity starts to present itself, an entity with its own border issues: Breach. Maybe The City is the city that you see, while The City is the city that you tell yourself you don't. And Breach? Perchance it's the secret police, perchance that undiscovered country from which few radical travelers return.
Mieville, the well-known British author of the original novel and an unusual scribe whose eclectic work ranges from fiction to political theory, likes to call his style "weird fiction" — and that would indeed be apt. This is highly intellectualized sci-fi with a keen internal sense of the paradoxical. That said, "The City & The City" certainly has political content: one starts to see that corporations call a lot of the shots, whichever city might be in focus. And it's also a formatively intriguing piece of work. Despite the inherent retro sense that you get from a world-weary detective narrating an investigation that takes him deeper and deeper into himself, and the Orwellian references to "unseeing" and the like, the piece is shot through with hyper-contemporary references, from Google to Amazon to Facebook (all flexible entities, it's worth noting, that are not bound not by traditional borders).
It's not easy to stick two cities you maybe can't see — not to mention the forces that are "Breach" — on a stage and director Dorothy Milne takes a mostly neutral approach for this Lifeline premiere. You can certainly see why; creating even the most basic elements of this story would be problematic. But although Milne has the nicely cynical Steve Schine in her lead role and a generally solid ensemble cast of 10, you start to crave more theatricality, more risk, more dramatic choices, especially pertaining to these spatially co-existent locales. It feels like a missed opportunity, although some sci-fans will be so into these fascinating ideas they won't give a hoot.
Christopher M. Walsh's adaptation certainly is smart and richly wrought, but it's also heavily dominated by narration and comes off as strangely static. This story is a hybrid of two genres — detective fiction and sci-fi — which makes it challenging, but job one still remains keeping us invested in who killed this young woman and why. That gets a little lost in all the talk, even as other scenes escalate too quickly . What the show most needs is the time-honored slow-burn, ideally fused with a little dangerous sensuality, avoided here, but ideal for border-crossings nonetheless.
When: Through April 7
Where: Lifeline Theatre, 6912 N. Glenwood Ave.
Running time: 2 hours, 20 minutes

Quid pro quo
My point about things like Germany not hiding the weights of its female players is that the Germans seem a lot more focused on treating both teams like professional athletes.
Eric Wynalda noticed another regard in which the women were unique - the fact that all the TV commentators for the women's game were inclined to be friendly and sympathetic to the players.
"I think it's amazing that the network will hook up a satellite broadcast to see what Julie (Foudy) thinks of the men's game, but when the women fall on their face, the boys aren't allowed to comment."
20 comments:
I'm not sure if the point should be to emulate men's attitudes towards sports. What's big time about grousing in public and putting down a teammate? I like the women's game because it emphasized team work and, apparently, team unity; but in the loudmouth culture of guy sports, shutting up about being benched is considered bad form. I'm not saying she wasn't the better player and shouldn't have been out there; but people would have made her point for her. She didn't need to dump on the goalie that actually did win a World Cup.

Amen Wynalda.

Team unity apparently didn't extend to how the players treat each other if anyone dares to express an individual opinion. There's unity, and then there's groupthink.
Unity to me means coming together despite differences, not trying to stifle any distinction and keeping everyone in lockstep.
- October 25, 2007 at 10:03 AM
Maybe so...but now she knows there are consequences to mouthing off and maybe her comments won't be so gratuitous in the future...and if she does mouth off, knowing the consequences, then it will mean she probably has something truly important to say and we will admire her for her courage in saying it.
- October 25, 2007 at 11:23 AM
Good article Andrea! I enjoyed it.
With this 10 week break, a new Coach, and a fresh start come January, all will be well for the WNT leading up to a US vs. Canada Gold medal game next summer! :) Ha, well one can "Hope", can't he!
To Anon1, one more attempt to cover Hope's back.
It has been said numerous times before, and one can choose to believe or not to believe, that Hope was NOT "dumping" on her teammate.
Right or wrong, clumsy in it's delivery or not, she was directing her comments at her Coach. This is what Hope has indicated & in the context of everything that was said and the facts leading up to the game that resulted in her emotional comments, I believe her.
Coach said publicly when he made the decision to go with Briana for the semi that Briana was "quicker", had "better reflexes" for the type of game that Brazil would throw at them, or some such drivel. Hope, after the game, basically said Coach, I think you were wrong, I could have made those saves. (Read ... I'm not as slow as you seem to think I am!)
Hope just didn't link the 2 comments as maybe she would have if she wasn't at the point of emotional breakdown at that moment in time!
The part about living in the past, not being 2004 anymore, also was directed at Ryan as he based his publicly stated logic on past results, not the present. He let results from the past cloud his judgement of the present, and that is what Hope pointed out.
While the game against Brazil back in June that Bri played due to the death of Hope's father wasn't 2004, it was still over 3 months ago AND was Bri's last full game. I also believe many of the players from Sept did not play in June, Marta included?
I get all crazy thinking about that horrendous decision and the aftermath again!
Do I wish she had remained silent and simply let everybody else say it for her, like they already were?
I suspect Hope does to.
Let the healing continue Hope Solo. We're with you.
- October 25, 2007 at 11:36 AM
Oh, and actually this firing was only one day after the teams final game, so it was quicker then 98. :)
I think it was a good decision to wait until the 3 game Mexico series was complete, as difficult a 3 weeks as that was for many of us.
- October 25, 2007 at 11:46 AM
Oh, as I stated before Ryan was canned, I also believe that Hope was aware it was coming prior to the Mexico series and her second public apology.
That's it now, I think! :)
- October 25, 2007 at 11:52 AM
Thanks for keeping the record straight, Andrea. That first comment sounds pretty dumb trying to find something appealing behind the way the American women are now remembered. The fact that hope wasn't allowed to stand on the podium, let alone eat, with her teamates proved that the inner circle of the team has little class or perspective.
Last time I checked freedom of speech was encouraged in this country.
- October 25, 2007 at 12:17 PM
Anon2, many of us do admire Hope for her courage in speaking up, even if some of us think she should not have for various reasons.
While apparently you don't think what she had to say was important, it was important to her and after all is said and done, that's what matters.

I really don't want to hear Wynalda announce during the women's games.
I don't mind the chalkboard stuff he does but when he disses a player he just sounds so annoying.
Also, there were points in which some of the men were wierdly uncomfortable with their coverage.
There was some repetition in content from ESPN announcers but Dellacamera was very good and DiCicco chiming in was cool and he was analytical.
I've forgotten her name but the Ohio State coach was fine and more analytical that the ESPN play-by-play men's team.
When the British feed kicked in, I was very pleased with being able to better hear the crowd. ESPN needs to have it sound just like that with the crowd louder and the announcers quieter.
- October 25, 2007 at 12:44 PM
heres to quieter announcers. In some sports like football it makes sense. in soccer it just seems to get really distracting. maybe because there are no stops in play for 45 minutes really. And for christ sake those pop up stats and crap are annoying as all hell. If i want to know their record ill look it up myself.
- October 25, 2007 at 1:11 PM
The Julie Foudy's of the world are always looking to pump up the USMNT when she comments; an elegant, if predictably boring homer. It's like asking Karl Rove to comment on the Bush administration.
Wynalda is looking to "tell it like it is". He comes across as conceited, phony, insincere, arrogant, crass, and boorish; he is a living parody of the concept that now that soccer is "big time" we get the same kind of idiotic commentary you hear in NFL games. The only really interesting thing about him is you get the impression he really seems to believe he knows more about it than anyone else but feels he never got his just due. It's like asking Richard Nixon to comment on his administration. Alexi Lalas is the only person who is more pathetic as a commentator in this particular genre.
ESPN had a chance to chart a much more interesting middle ground but instead chose these human cartoons probably because both are good looking and were good players. One would think there must be other reasonably presentable and articulate ex players from both teams around (John O'Brien? Tiffany Millbrett? ).
I would hope we get more enlightened commentary in the future but then again I was kind of hoping for world peace and an end to poverty too.

Below are some quotes from Cat Whitehill.
I'm delighted to hear she considers Hope one of her best friends but I'm confused by the last paragraph below. The "team leaders" asking her "why was your reaction different" part?
I appear to be missing something? Can anybody explain?
View original article: http://new.savannahnow.com/nod...81576
Key points from article:
"During the World Cup, Ryan drew criticism when he benched starting goalkeeper Hope Solo. Whitehill said the situation has been hard for her because Solo is one of her best friends and Whitehill respects her coach.
"With this team, there's a lot of pressure on the coach," she said. "He was a great coach."
Although she said there was speculation in the media and among the team over the recent termination, she was not aware of how quickly it would happen.
"To me, it was a surprise at how quickly it happened," she said. She noted the team was surprised, as well.
"A lot of the players that have a leadership role on the team came to me and asked, 'Why was my reaction different?,' and I was able to talk to them and share my faith with them." "
- October 26, 2007 at 6:50 AM
i saw that as well. was she refering to her reaction to the whole Hope thing or the coach release?
And whom are the leadership players? Im assuming wambach and lilly, anyone else?
- October 26, 2007 at 7:22 AM
- A.C. said...
Maybe Cat was talking about her reaction to the disappointment of finishing third. If she was calm while other people were upset or depressed, it would make sense.
- October 26, 2007 at 8:03 AM
Thanks Meredith,
Other then it being hard for Cat, my confusion is determining exactly what her reaction was, to either situation? I can't tell from her words?
I think what she's trying to say is she didn't choose sides because she cares for them both? Her feelings are likely shared by many on the team, that of being stuck in the middle, not sure what to do or say, so say nothing.
Always a safe route of course. But what exactly did these "leaders" mean?
Anything else out there on this? Any other thoughts?
- October 26, 2007 at 8:14 AM
Interesting thought A.C..
Maybe, but the article & her feelings/words seem to center around the Hope & Coach Ryan situation.
Seems she still didn't want to come out and say what was really in her heart?
Just sort of. :)
- October 26, 2007 at 8:21 AM
More quotes from Cat in response to the release of Coach Ryan below.
Taken with the other article, she does appear to have taken it in stride, very calmly as you have mentioned A.C.
The so called "team leaders" of course did not take it in stride as they look even worse then they already did with the release of Ryan. Also, Gulati's words must have stung regarding "I think all the parties involved would do things differently if they had the chance".
Make sense? Maybe?
Cat's Comments:
High expectations can create major repercussions.
That was defender Cat Whitehill's reaction to the news Greg Ryan is out as the U.S. women's soccer coach. The decision came less than a month after his top-ranked team lost in the World Cup semifinals following a contentious goalie switch.
"With the standards our team has set, if you don't win, it's hard to keep your job," Whitehill said Monday, a day after players and Ryan were informed of the move. "Nothing against the way Greg Ryan coached, but we didn't play as well as we should have."
Anybody have an opinion on who should wear the Captain's Band next yer?
My WNT Coach hat is now on. Yes, I was hired today! I say Cat Whitehill should wear the Captains Band, if not in January, then certainly some time before next summers Olympics?
- October 26, 2007 at 8:38 AM
Sounds like Whitehill did what most people do, run for cover. Not a very Christian thing to do, letting your "friends" twist in the wind. Obviously there was a faction, probably a powerful minority who, with Ryan's approval did the Code Red on Solo, while her Christian sisters stood by and did nothing.
I've not been a Gulati fan but his statement about people maybe wishing they had done things differently, along with Ryan's firing, is a pretty powerful rebuke of this faction. If the new coach gives Solo a fair shot she should regain her starting spot. Since Solo was dropped Scurry has shown she is a drag on the offense, as she can't get the ball to the half way line even on a punt, with any consistency. Having Whitehill take the goal kicks takes one person out of the offense. And she is either very rusty or her vaunted reflexes have diminished.
- October 26, 2007 at 7:10 PM
Great article. I'm tired of the whole situation. I guess the only good thing that came out of this last world cup is that now maybe the USSF will take steps to make the USWNT less like stepford wives or citizens of communist China and more like Americans. The whole thing reminds me of Animal Farm by George Orwell.
