A new low for the GOP.
Senate Democrats failed Thursday to win a procedural vote to open debate on a bill that would provide medical benefits and compensation for emergency workers who were first on the scene of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Republicans complained that the $7.4 billion price tag was too high, while Democrats said the government had an obligation to help the first responders to the deadliest terrorism attack in U.S. history.
The James Zadroga 9/11 Health Bill -- named after a deceased New York Police Department detective who had worked in the toxic plume at ground zero -- seeks to provide free medical coverage for responders and survivors who were exposed to toxins after the attacks.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg reacted to Thursday's result by calling it "a tragic example of partisan politics trumping patriotism."
I had begun to think that the GOP could not surprise me anymore. I stand corrected.
Trillions of dollars is fine for two wars and killing tens of thousands. But a few billion for healthcare for first responders to 9/11 is too much? I thought these fuckers were pro-life.
Do you think they will see any backlash from conservatives, or are they all too brainwashed?
Views: 36
Well, CNN rather vaguely reports that the Republican complaint is that it is too costly. So, I have no idea. If only we had journalism in our news these days, we might see an in depth and objective analysis of the situation.
They are like Robin Hood, only in reverse.
Even if the tax deal becomes law, Republicans may not budge. One of the bill's critics, Sen. Mike Enzi (R., Wyo.), has said it could be subject to fraud or abuse, and many Republicans dislike the tax on foreign corporations that would pay for the measure, saying such taxes would hurt job creation.
That is just like the Republicans these days. Make sure everyone (but them) suffers so they can be assured that no one is receiving an undeserved nickel.
Pro-life.. that's only until you are born. Then it's no science research, no care, send you off in the military for corporate war, pro death penalty even for having marijuana seeds, pro death penalty for anything... eh Texas?
Pro-life...gestationally speaking. After that, you get what you deserve, whether it be riches or cancer. Unless I get cancer instead of you. Then it is a grave injustice.
Republican Motto: I got mine screw everyone else.
Yep. The Just World Fallacy.
Tax Cuts for the Rich sounds like a better idea to me!
If there was a Republican in the White House, this bill would have no trouble getting passed.
Consider the corporate bailouts at the end of Bush's presidency. Everyone said how necessary they were. Now that Obama is in office, Republicans are railing against them.
Yeah, they did a good job of vilifying something that they began and was necessary for rescuing the American (and global) economy from completely imploding.
I have come to loathe politics, yet I can't stay away from it.
I'm not sure whether it was necessary or not. The only word I have to go on is that of the big wigs, and I distrust them, inherently.

Good news, Crackdown fans: The signature voice of the 2007 Xbox 360 game is back for this summer's sequel. Better news: He's not sick this time.
Michael McConnohie was the no-nonsense voice of The Agency, the seemingly benevolent (or were they?) police force of which the playable hero of Crackdown was an officer. McConnohie's voice, booming from a character unseen in the game, told the player what to do and just how right the fight was. As far as crime-fighting commanders go in open-world games that have you running over, shooting and blowing up the lowlifes of a place like Pacific City, he was convincing.
But McConnohie had a cold when he recorded his role for the 2007 Crackdown. The sequel's executive producer, Peter Connelly, who also worked with McConnohie for the first game, told Kotaku last week that he noticed that his actor sounded different while recording Crackdown 2. That's because, McConnohie told him, he wasn't sick this time. The veteran voice actor, who has done voices for games as disparate as Descent 2 and World of Warcraft, soldiered through his original Crackdown recording despite a cold.
During a demo of Crackdown 2 that Kotaku saw last week, McConnohie's voice was back and barking orders some more. He was reminding me which abilities I could use and advising me on missions, all canned of course, and apparently less congested than last time.
The actor — and his character — weren't just brought back to the Crackdown series for consistency but for as-yet-unrevealed development of both the Agency leader and the plot of the game. All Connelly and Crackdown 2 developers at Ruffian Games will say so far about the new game's plot is that it occurs a decade after the first, with Pacific City overrun by a new gang, the Cell and a populace that has been infected and transformed into night-loving monsters. Connelly, though, teased that we will know more about the Agency leader and his organization, an assurance that the first game's finale plot-twist won't be ignored, even if the fact that the player is in control of a new crime-fighting Agency super-cop at the beginning of this game makes it seem like that could be the case.
The plot continues in Crackdown 2. The Agency is back. The leader is around, and this time, if nothing else, he will sound more healthy. Crackdown 2 ships for the Xbox 360 in July.

Students have a lot more options today.
The ides of senior pictures began in the mid 19th century.
Pictures were taken to display a mood, expression, and the personality of a graduating student. The purpose of senior pictures is to serve as a reminder to you and your classmates of the years together before you split your separate ways. It is a symbol of beginning adulthood.
They are traditionally used for creating graduation announcements, submitting to your schools yearbook, and handing out to your family and friends. The typical portrait is a shot of shoulders and up with a dark colored background, but things have come a long way.
Even though there are more options, the typical portrait is still a very common pose used.
With all of the recent technology advances, senior pictures have become more of a big deal. Pictures can be edited in many different ways, from black and white, fixing blemishes, changing eye color, or adding text.
With all of the equipment used and editing done, senior pictures tend to be a pretty expensive event. Not only do you have to pay for the pictures and prints, but also you can't go without just the right outfit, hair, shoes, and make up!
Decisions, decisions, decisions! Pictures can be taken outside, inside, and during the summer, fall, spring, or winter. A lot of times people pick their favorite season and choose to do pictures then. The next thing you need to do, is determine what studio is going to be taking your pictures.
Once you have taken the photos, you then have to decide which ones are your favorite, what one you want in the yearbook, which ones on your announcement, and let your family and friends pick out the ones they'd like.
I went to We Clik for senior pictures. I chose to take outdoor and indoor pictures during the summer and a few other outdoor photos this winter. The We Clik ladies help you out with poses, what to wear, where to go, and uplift you with cute compliments.
Once you have had your photo shoot, you receive a free orange water bottle, and then you wait for your portfolio to come in.
Once you get the portfolio, its time to make your picks.
For future reference there are three photography studios in Crookston. They include We Clik, Shots and Thoughts, and Wildfire Photography. There are other photographers who do photography out of their own homes in Crookston as well.
Anderson, a senior, writes in Toni Grove's communications and broadcasting class at Crookston High School.

Platinum Club involved in another violent crime
Fighting in the club tends to get creative after 3 a.m.; a Kinston woman proved that when she allegedly bit off the tip-end of another�s nose early Sunday morning.
The Kinston Department of Public Safety responded to a call at 3:47 a.m. of an aggravated assault at the Platinum Club at 211 N. Queen St. Fights have ended in worse ways at the location � three people were stabbed outside the club on Nov. 4.
The club has come under rhetorical fire for gunfire and other violence happening near it. With this crime being teeth-related, rather than knife- or gun-related, the incident could be considered relatively tame in comparison.
�It was just an altercation between a couple ladies at the club,� KDPS Public Information Officer Woody Spencer said of the incident.
Spencer said law enforcement suspects Keosha Quantale Chadwick, 22 of Kinston, of the assault. As of Tuesday, she had not been charged and authorities are still gathering statements. According to the incident report, Chadwick is an acquaintance of the victim.
The report shows Chadwick and the victim had both been drinking when they got into an argument; around 3:30 a.m., Chadwick allegedly bit off part of the victim�s nose. The injury was classified as a severe laceration.
Attempts to contact the victim and the person reporting the crime were unsuccessful.
On a window by the entrance to the Platinum Club, a notice dated Feb. 2 says, �Anyone put out of the Platinum Club may be subject to being mased (sic). Zero tolerance for fussing, fighting or violating any club rules. Everyone must sign in. By signing in you agree to follow the Platinum rules. This applies to all who enter this establishment.�

simontheak needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 60 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
The logo is for the site http://www.theshortstack.co.uk. The logo would replace what is currently in the top left hand corner. The graphical element would need to be about the same size as the current poker chip (110x110) and would include the name of the site (The Short Stack) in there.
The Short Stack
The latest news, reviews and bonus codes (optional - see brief for more info)
Desired Color Scheme:
Some red and suitable matches (see brief for more info)
Desired Style:
Clean, sharp, professional
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
As far as design goes, I don't really have a picture on my head as to what the final logo will be, but I've found a few logos that I like the look of and posted them up at http://www.theshortstack.co.uk/about-poker/logos.
I think the main things I like are logos that are simple and clean, yet sharp and professional. I'm not a big fan of anything that's too cluttered and it would be nice (but by no means essential!) if I could use the logo as a favicon for the site.
I particularly like the outline of the cards in the second logo and the subtle gradients on the text in the first greenseek logo. And overall the King of Clubs logo is probably my favourite as it's clean, compact and sums the website up really well.
Some reference to the name of the site needs to be included in the dimensions above. Whether that's the actual name (The Short Stack), 2 S's or something else is completely up to you.
I'm currently decided whether I'll be including the tag line as part of the logo or whether I'm just going to have it as HTML content next to the logo. It depends how it looks.
For the time being, the tag line can certainly be included in the logo design (the width of the logo will obviously need to be changed), but it will need to be put to the right of the main logo.
The only colour I'd like in there is red. It doesn't have to be the exact same shade as is currently used on the website.
Similarly, I know there is some blue in the website at the moment, but if you find a better secondary colour, then please go ahead and use it.
Basically, I'm happy to change the colours of the site to match a well designed logo.
I have constant access to the internet and email throughout the day, so I will be able to offer timely feedback on all designs submitted. This is the first contest, I've help so if you require any more information, please let me know.
If you need anything else at all, please feel free to let me know.
The wining logo will be chosen after 10 days. If a suitable logo isn't found, then a winner won't be chosen ... but having seem the logos being designed in other contests, I doubt that will be a problem!

Jackson's name is called – for Durant
We have the title of Gregg Popovich's autobiography, assuming it already hasn't been taken by an adult website.
"I want some nasty."
It has a ring to it.
"I said that?" Popovich said late Sunday night.
He did. Before the fourth quarter began, Popovich also told his Spurs in a huddle, "I'm seeing a little bit of unconfidence," which is neither grammatical nor inspiring.
But the Spurs needed to hear all of it. They trailed by nine points, led by a defense that had become Mike D'Antoni-ish, to paraphrase another Popovich phrase.
So then came "I want some nasty," and the ears of someone perked up.
"My name is nasty," he said, and someone asked him if "nasty" was indeed his middle name.
"Yes," he said. "My name is Stephen Nasty Jackson."
And he laughed, because this is precisely what he wanted to do when he returned to San Antonio.
The man he was traded for, Richard Jefferson, would have fit in Sunday night. For the first three quarters, the Spurs looked confused by a loose, athletic Oklahoma City team which acted as if it was playing mere Mavericks or Lakers.
Derek Fisher was as perfect as Danny Green was imperfect. Kevin Durant showcased all of his gifts. And this statistical combination told of the feel of the evening: The Spurs ended with 14 first-half turnovers while the Thunder were heading to nine blocks.
If not for Manu Ginobili showing up right on time, the Thunder would have stolen the opener with a grip on the series, too.
But Popovich kept searching for a lineup that worked, and he eventually stuck with Gary Neal and four guys from the 2003 championship. That meant Jackson, who barely got off the bench against the Clippers, would get a turn against Durant.
The two know each other. Last summer, Durant went to the Port Arthur home of Jackson's mother for a barbecue feast, and they recorded a rap song together.
"Lonely at the Top" sounds somewhat tender for this genre of music. "I Want Some Nasty," for example, would be more stereotypical.
At the time, Jackson was a Milwaukee Buck waiting for the lockout to end. He had no idea he would someday be trying to defend the scoring champ in a conference finals. As effective as Kawhi Leonard has been, Popovich wanted Jackson's experience and toughness, and his speech before the fourth quarter began set the tone.
"What he meant," Jackson said, "was to be physical, not dirty."
Jackson watched the Thunder-Lakers series, and he said he thought Metta World Peace gave Durant too much room. He wanted to get into Durant, sometimes fouling him, always bothering him.
The numbers tell of that. Durant, playing every second of the final quarter, scored six points on six free throws.
Jackson said, "No one person can stop Durant," and Jackson had some help. Tim Duncan was one, Russell Westbrook was another.
Early in the fourth, Westbrook again showed his weakness as a point guard. In a series of possessions, Durant never touched the ball as Westbrook went one-on-one.
The Spurs tied the game, then their offense found its rhythm, scoring on eight straight possessions. On the eighth, left alone at the top of the 3-point line, Jackson took only his second shot of the game.
The Thunder would call this nasty, too, since the shot changed the dynamic of the closing minutes. And when Jackson later added two free throws, he had scored as many points (five) as he did in four games against the Clippers.
Afterward, Jackson dressed and took on the role of a professional. He said he was following in the path of Steve Kerr, Steve Smith and Danny Ferry, role-playing veterans who were here on his first tour. He reacted as they did then, ready when called, not impatient as he was in 2003. He's changed, and, given that, it should be pointed out that "Nasty" isn't his middle name.
It's Jesse.

Chrysler Feud Triggers IPO Filing
Chrysler Group LLC Monday filed for an initial public offering, a move forced by the failure of the auto maker's Italian majority owner and its main union to agree on the company's value.
Fiat SpA, which owns 58.5% of Chrysler, doesn't want a share sale and is eager to own the company outright. But the United Auto Workers union health trust, holder of a 41.5% stake in the No. 3 Detroit auto maker, has demanded that its shares be offered to the public after negotiations to sell them to Fiat stalled.
In its Monday filing, Chrysler warned that if Fiat can't get control, the Italian auto maker could turn its back on Chrysler, unwinding a deal that was a centerpiece of the Obama administration's 2009 auto industry rescue.
Analysts and others familiar with the situation say Fiat will likely now redouble efforts to reach a private deal with the UAW.
On Tuesday, Fiat said the regulatory filing is no guarantee that the sale of Chrysler stock will take place.
An IPO would follow General Motors Co.'s record-breaking offering in November 2010, which at $23.1 billion was the world's largest at the time. Analysts estimate Chrysler could be worth between $10 billion and $11 billion, depending upon market conditions.
The UAW health-care trust holds its minority stake in Chrysler as part of the auto maker's 2009 government-led bankruptcy restructuring. The filing doesn't state a price for the shares, or how many will be offered. J.P. Morgan is the sole underwriter listed.
Four years ago, Fiat saved Chrysler from a possible liquidation. Now, in a merged company, Chrysler's U.S. truck and sport-utility lines could prop up Fiat while it overhauls money-losing European operations.
Fiat Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne, who also leads Chrysler, wants to own Chrysler outright and merge the two companies into a single auto maker. Mr. Marchionne has said a public offering could come in the first quarter of 2014, but that he wants to avoid one by buying out the union trust's holdings in a private deal. A deal between Fiat and the UAW trust could still take place before any shares are sold.
"Fiat has informed us that it is reconsidering the benefits and costs of further expanding its relationship with us and the terms on which Fiat would continue the sharing of technology, vehicle architectures and platforms, distribution networks, production facilities and engineering and management resources," Chrysler said in its filing.
But Fiat and the trust haven't been able to agree on a price. The trust, which was set up by the union to pay out medical benefits for Chrysler retirees, values the stake at about $4.27 billion, more than double what Fiat thinks it is worth, based on their respective calculations.
When GM launched its postbankruptcy IPO in 2010, the goal was relatively straightforward: The U.S. Treasury, seeking to recoup its bailout, wanted the maximum price for its shares.
However, Mr. Marchionne, as Chrysler CEO, is in the awkward situation of having to meet with investors and persuade them to pay top dollar for shares that as Fiat's CEO he would prefer to buy on the cheap.
An IPO could further delay Mr. Marchionne's plans to combine Chrysler and Fiat, by fracturing Chrysler's ownership structure and diluting Fiat's control. Such a setback would come at a crucial time for both auto makers. The companies are working to pool resources and jointly develop new cars essential to their competitiveness. However, they haven't been able to fully capitalize on those synergies because their cash and balance sheets remain separate.
"We're going to work diligently to satisfy the [trust's] interest in going public, but at the end of the day the market reference for the price is the market reference of the price," Mr. Marchionne said earlier this month.
Fiat and the trust have been battling over the value of the Chrysler shares for more than a year and have already turned to a Delaware court judge to help settle a dispute over the value of a portion of the health-care trust's stake.
In July, the judge overseeing the case ruled partially in favor of Fiat's valuation of the Chrysler shares, but he said he needed more information and expert testimony to make a final decision, further stalling a resolution.
The health-care trust's motives are clear. It needs to get as much as it can for its Chrysler stake to ensure it has enough money to pay medical benefits for tens of thousands of current and future Chrysler retirees.
Analysts say there is more than one way the deal could play out.
The IPO process could go to a final pricing, but then the trust and Fiat could strike a last-minute agreement. "The trust is going to push for an IPO through the end of the year, go through the pricing and then Mr. Marchionne can decide," said Philippe Houchois, a London-based analyst with UBS AG. "That's the card it's playing."
If Mr. Marchionne is able to gain full control of Chrysler, he could launch a new share offering for the combined company to raise money for new product investments and restructuring.
If market conditions hold, the trust could benefit from a rising market for new stock offerings, and Chrysler's own improving financial performance. Chrysler's profits have risen steadily since 2010 as the U.S. auto market has rebounded.
Chrysler executives will be called upon to reassure investors that they can sustain the company's turnaround in the U.S., even though Fiat has delayed some investments and new model launches.
During the U.S. auto industry's deep downturn in 2009, many industry experts believed Chrysler was too small and too weak to compete in a global industry.
But the U.S. Treasury brokered a deal with Mr. Marchionne to give Fiat 20% of Chrysler and operational control. Since then, Mr. Marchionne has returned Chrysler to profitability, repaid its government loans and increased Fiat's stake in Chrysler to 58.5%.

Animal Protection > Activist - Index > ALF POWs
Journalist Josh Wolf's Courageous Stand
By Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!. Posted February 16, 2007.
Imprisoned reporter Josh Wolf and his attorney explain why his jailing for refusal to release video footage is an attack on journalism itself.
Josh Wolf, 24, has spent almost six months in jail, more time than any journalist in U.S. history, for protecting his sources. He was jailed on Aug. 1 of last year when he refused to turn over video that he had shot of an anti-G8 demonstration in San Francisco to a federal grand jury.
Wolf had sold some of the footage to the nightly news as well as posted some on his website. The news broadcast attracted the attention of local and federal law enforcement agents who were investigating clashes between the police and demonstrators at the protest. They later served Wolf a federal subpoena requiring him to turn over his unpublished video footage as well as testify about the protesters seen on the tape. When Wolf refused to comply, he was charged with contempt of court and incarcerated.
Wolf's imprisonment has prompted outcries by advocates for freedom of the press who say it is out of proportion to the scale of the investigation. Lucie Morrillon of Reporters without Borders has stated, ''This is one more example of the increasing attacks on confidentiality of sources in the United States, one more blow to investigative journalism and, eventually, to the right for American people to be informed. This is a bad signal sent to the rest of the world.''
On Friday we spoke with Josh Wolf from his jail cell in Dublin, Calif. I began by asking him why he was in prison.
We asked a spokesman for the U.S Attorney's office to join us on the program today. He declined our invitation, but Luke Macaulay, spokesperson for the U.S Attorney's office for the Northern District of California sent a statement. It reads: "We have an obligation to the community to investigate and gather evidence of serious crimes. The incident is under investigation so that the grand jury can determine what, if any, crimes were committed. As our court filings state, Wolf videotaped a public demonstration where there may have been an attempt to set a police car ablaze, and where a San Francisco police officer's skull was fractured when he was hit from behind by a demonstrator. Six separate judges -- one federal magistrate judge, two federal district court judges, and a panel of three Ninth Circuit judges -- have now ruled that this office has issued a lawful subpoena for legitimate investigative purposes, and that the material and testimony in question should be provided to the grand jury."
Martin Garbus is Josh Wolf's attorney. Time magazine calls him "one of the best trial lawyers in the country," while the National Law Journal has named him one of the country's top ten litigators. He joins me in the studio today.
Amy Goodman: On Friday, we spoke with Josh Wolf from his jail cell in Dublin, Calif. I began by asking him why he's in prison.
Josh Wolf: I'm here for refusing to comply with a subpoena demanding that I both testify and turn over a tape of a protest that occurred on July 8, 2005.
AG: Why are you refusing to comply?
JW: Well, there's a number of reasons. It's been viewed that the tape is central to the issue, but it's also the testimony. Essentially, what the government wants me to do, as we can tell, is to identify civil dissidents who were attending this march, who were in mask and clearly did not want to be identified, but whose identities I may know some of, as their contact that I've been following in documenting civil dissent in the San Francisco Bay Area for some two and a half years now.
AG: U.S. Attorney Kevin Ryan's office says they're investigating whether protesters tried to torch a police car. Ryan's spokesperson, Luke Macauley, said the grand jury needs the video to "determine what, if any, crimes were committed." Your response?
JW: Well, my response is that we've offered to turn the video over to the judge to review in camera to determine whether or not there is any evidence on the tape. The U.S. Attorney's office has said that that would not be appropriate, because there's certain information that only the grand jury is privy to. I don't understand why the grand jury information can't be then passed on to the judge, who can balance all these factors and determine whether or not there is any evidence on the tape, which I contend to this day there isn't, because all newsworthy material on the video was put out online the night of the incident, because I had no idea this was going to all bubble up when I was shooting the video that night and editing it down later on.
AG: Explain what happened that day in 2005. What was the protest you were covering?
JW: The protest was against the G8 summit, which was going on in Gleneagles, Scotland, at the time. It started in the Mission -- it was actually completely in the Mission District of San Francisco. There was probably about 100 people, mostly anarchists. It was facilitated by a group called Anarchist Action, and they proceeded to walk through the streets. There was some minor property damage, some spray-painting, that sort of thing, dragging newspaper stands into the streets. At some point in time, the police -- kind of the tactical police squad backed off, and the main police didn't seem to be around. At that point, a lone squad car that was just patrolling the neighborhood proceeded to accelerate into the crowd. This is what set off the issues that have since become so explosive, because shortly after the car rammed into the crowd, they took off and tackled two individuals.
I happened to be witnessing and filming one, who was being choked, and you could see it on my videotape. The other individual, the other cop that took off, I don't really know what happened, because I was following the one. The cop that I wasn't filming was apparently struck in the head during some sort of an altercation, and at some point, allegedly by the U.S. Attorney, someone threw some sort of a firework, four days after the Fourth of July, in the vicinity of the cop car, although when I walked past the cop car I certainly didn't see any flames protruding, and the damage report shows that there wasn't really any damage to the cop car beyond a broken taillight.
AG: Why aren't you protected by California Shield Law, which protects journalists?
JW: I am protected by the California Shield Law. This isn't in California state court, though. This is in federal court. And the federal government does not acknowledge any sort of federal protections for journalists.
AG: How did this end up in federal court?
JW: The government contends that there is a statute that says that because the San Francisco Police Department gets money from the government for training against terrorism and other stuff like that, that any property belonging to the San Francisco Police Department is of federal interest, and therefore, this is a federal offense that they're investigating. But clearly this seems like an attempt to sort of circumvent the protections that California feels are due to journalists in order to prevent the situation that I'm currently dealing with at this moment.
AG: Josh, what has been the response of the journalistic community in this country to your incarceration?
JW: It's difficult for me to gauge what the journalistic response is. I obviously don't have Internet access or anything like that in here. I do get the newspaper, and the San Francisco Chronicle's covered this story quite well. I've been told that it's been a sort of lackluster response. I'm not entirely sure why that is. But it seems to me that part of it may be that the existing news media doesn't want to acknowledge that independent journalists who don't rely on television stations or large-scale newspapers or anything like that really are an additional form of journalism that's part of the media today.
AG: You were named, however, the Northern California 2006 journalist of the year by an establishment journalistic organization, the Society of Professional Journalists.
JW: That's correct, and I've also been told that on Tuesday I was awarded the James Madison Award by the same group for online journalism.
AG: The protests that you were covering, what do you think the government is trying to find out about the protesters?
JW: I think that their intent is two-fold, or even more than that. One thing that they're trying to do is they're trying to basically move toward state-sanctioned journalism. They're trying to say that I'm not a journalist, and even if I was, that journalists aren't protected, in order to basically force journalists to act as agents for the state. Beyond that, they're also trying to identify civil dissidents and form databases. The ACLU has uncovered numerous instances of the government trying to capture identities of people who are protesting against the government. Dissent may be patriotic, but this current administration doesn't think so, and they're doing everything to criminalize it, or at least intimidate those that are engaged in it to the point that they feel that it is not safe to continue expressing their beliefs.
AG: You have used the term "anarchist witch hunt" in your blog. What do you mean?
JW: Well, the grand jury itself is a very strange segment of the government, in that there's no attorneys, there's no judges. It's just the U.S. Attorney and the grand jury, and it's my belief that what they want to do is they want to call me, have me identify the people in the video. Then any people that I'm able to identify would in turn be called in. Those people would then be forced to either go to jail for contempt or name the people in the video that they saw. Then those people would follow the same procedure like so forth and like so forth until they had a database of everyone that was there that night. We've seen similar things happen in regards to the ELF, the Environmental Liberation Front, as well as the ALF, the Animal Liberation Front, in several Bay Area grand juries that have resulted in grand jury resisters and other people that have chosen not to resist and told what's going on.
AG: In a January 29th court filing, federal prosecutors said that it's in your "imagination" that you're a journalist.
JW: Right.
AG: Your response?
JW: I think it's a very scary idea that the U.S. Attorney, the Justice Department, the government prosecution feels that they can determine who is and isn't a journalist. I think that's the first step towards state-sanctioned journalism, and I think it also is indicative of a world -- almost a 1984 Orwellian world -- that I don't think we want to live in. As far as whether or not I'm a journalist in my imagination, the New York Times has said I'm a journalist. The Society of Professional Journalists has awarded me an award as a journalist. Countless media outlets have said I'm a journalist. So if it's my imagination and other journalists' imagination, then who decides what is and isn't a journalist? The government?
AG: You have spent the most amount of time in jail for protecting your sources than any journalist in history, almost six months. What has your time been like in prison?
JW: Yeah, it's getting very close to six months. I've probably read about 60 books. I've written some 300-400 letters in response to things that have come in to me. I've written hundreds of pages in my journal, wrote numerous blog entries, played a lot of dominoes, exercised, ate and slept, and that's basically all that one can do inside of a prison environment. I've socialized with the inmates, gotten a better understanding of the justice system, made some good friends and acquaintances.
AG: Who is imprisoned along with you?
JW: Well, for one thing, Greg Anderson, who's also in contempt for -- regarding the BALCO case. He's there.
AG: Explain who Greg Anderson is.
JW: Greg Anderson is Barry Bonds's trainer, who has refused to testify in the grand jury that's investigating whether or not Barry Bonds lied under oath in the grand jury. So he's there in the unit. There's a number of drug dealers, felons with guns, illegal immigrants -- that's one of the most frightening things is, a lot of the people there have done nothing more than cross an imaginary line, and that's their crime, and they're often given three, four, five years before being deported, which is just unbelievable.
AG: Have you been able to interview them?
JW: I've spoken to them at length. I recently wrote something about my understanding of their situation, which I believe is on my blog right now.
AG: And how is your -- how are the guards, how is the prison treating you?
JW: With a level of professionality that I did not expect, not just in terms of myself, who is clearly here for a different sort of situation than other people, but also in terms of just all of the prisoners that are here. I was kind of quite surprised that there is this, you know, professional courtesy given towards the inmates, but I've been told that that's one of the major differences between the federal and state systems of incarceration.
AG: Why did you go to the protest that day in July of 2005?
JW: To document a demonstration that the news media was almost certainly likely to ignore.
AG: At this point, after being imprisoned for almost six months, are you sorry you went?
JW: I'm not sorry at all I went. Had I known that the FBI was going to subpoena my footage in this way, and given the fact that I knew there was nothing on it, it may have been a smarter practice from henceforth to take all of my material and put it online and say, complete video, edited video, and then there would have been no need to subpoena the footage. That may be a best practice. Perhaps a better practice is, once I finish editing a video, to destroy the master footage.
AG: What kind of effect has your imprisonment had on your family?
JW: It's been very frustrating for my mother. Clearly she, you know, doesn't want her son to be in jail, especially for six months now. There's been some difficulties with the home situation, in that, you know, here I am not able to pay my rent, having to rely on other people to take care of that. That sort of situation is quite stressful. But everyone's very supportive. Both my mother and father have been behind me 110 percent. And they know that I'm doing the right thing and have my back for it.
AG: Josh, I know we don't have much more time in this conversation, which is limited to 15 minutes, but I was just looking at your blog and the poem you wrote, "The Alarm Clock." Do you remember it off the top of your head?
JW: I don't remember it off the top of my head.
AG: Well, your last lines, "I am an alarm clock/And I am sounding the alarm/Like Paul Revere did years ago/I'm riding down the lane/Screaming/'Wake up!'" Do you think your imprisonment is having that effect?
JW: I'd like to think it's having that effect, but my fear is that instead of having the effect of making people wake up and realize that we need to do something about the impending police state that we're living in that will send a journalist to jail for six months, who was accused of doing nothing wrong, that instead of causing people to stand up, that it's scaring people into not speaking out at all, and that's a very frightening concept that reminds me of what happened during World War II or the lead-up to World War II in Germany, in that all these people saw what was coming their way and could have decided to react, to resist, but were too afraid. And I'm worried that America is too afraid, and even though maybe my situation has helped them realize what's coming down the pike, that instead of jolting them out of bed, it's just lulled them deeper into sleep and helped them pull the covers over their head in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, if they don't see it, it will all go away.
AG: How much longer will you be jailed?
JW: I'll be jailed until the judge, William Alsup, decides to say, "He's not going to give in. We have to let him go."
AG: Could it be indefinitely that you're held?
JW: It's not likely to be indefinitely. Civil contempt lasts the length of the grand jury, with a maximum of eighteen months, and the grand jury expires in July, but then can be extended for six more months. So the longest that I would be likely to be here would be about 18 months total. About a year from now is when I'd be, worse case, likely to be released. But then, of course, there is also the possibility that they'll bring criminal contempt charges against me, and there really are no limitations to the penalties for criminal contempt. And theoretically, God forbid, I could face life imprisonment, but I don't really see that happening. I certainly am optimistic that that won't happen.
AG: Are you afraid?
JW: At this point, the whole thing's become so bizarre that there is some fear that they are going to go that far. But I have hope that basically that a jury wouldn't convict me of criminal contempt after having been through this and that a judge wouldn't decide to take such a ridiculous course of action.
AG: Do you plan to continue to be a journalist once you are freed?
JW: Absolutely. This has just made me more determined to get the stories that are not being covered out than ever before, because someone needs to cover this. There's a lot of people that are, but we need more. Every single person that can stand up and document injustices they see around them is one more person that will help lead towards an understanding and enlightenment of our society about what's really going on.
AG: If people want to reach you, where can they write? Can they email you? Can they write you letters?
JW: If they visit my website at joshwolf.net, there's my blog that they can read about what's going on, there's a resource page that explains the situation a little better. And at the bottom, it says, "Mail me." Right there is my address. And if you don't want to send snail mail, you can just click the email button and send an email to freejosh(at)joshwolf.net, and those will get printed and sent to me. But please do include your snail mail address, because I can't email you back.
AG: And would you recommend to young journalists -- of course, you're one yourself -- you're how old?
JW: I'm 24 years old.
AG: Twenty-four years old. Would you recommend to other young people to go into journalism?
JW: Absolutely. This has demonstrated that there are risks that we don't imagine, in terms of the dangers of journalism. More experienced journalists are aware of those risks, especially covering other countries, but the stories need to be told, and the mainstream media is letting the ball slip, so we need to basically form a sort of compendium of journalists, compendium of activists who will document the world they see, get those stories out, work to get those stories picked up by the mainstream media so that they can't be ignored anymore, so that the people demand to know what's going on. And then, once that happens, maybe we'll start to see some change in the mainstream journalistic front, and then from there, we'll start to see a change in the way that our government is being perpetuated.
AG: When we interviewed you for the brief respite that you got out of jail in September, live in studio at the Link TV studios in San Francisco, we also talked to the San Francisco Chronicle reporter -- two reporters there also face imprisonment for not revealing sources in exposing the steroid Barry Bonds case, what you were talking about, but they have not gone to jail. What's the difference?
JW: The legal difference is not much. It clearly shows how the government's deciding to deal with corporate media versus an independent journalist, is that they've said, well, we're not going to make you go to jail until the Ninth District rules one way or the other, and then the Ninth District's hearings have been pushed back and pushed back and pushed back. Mine, on the other hand -- I was escorted into custody from the courtroom the day I was ruled in contempt. The Ninth Circuit ruled, while I was in custody -- or actually the Ninth Circuit spent a month waiting to determine whether or not to grant me bail -- granted me bail, passed it on to the next panel. That panel ruled, and then immediately they said I needed to go back into custody while we still had another level of Ninth Circuit appeals pending. So it's definitely a divergence between how the government's handled my situation as an independent journalist and how they've dealt with the corporate media, who has also been found in civil contempt.
AG: U.S. Attorney spokesperson Macauley said six separate judges or panels have now ruled unequivocally that "we've lawfully issued a subpoena for legitimate investigative purposes and that the material in question should be furnished to the grand jury." What kind of faith does this give you in the system?
JW: Unfortunately, Amy, I don't really understand that question. I've been told I need to wrap the conversation up, so I probably am going to have to let that question go unanswered.
AG: Well, thanks very much, Josh, for joining us. Last words to the listening and viewing audience in this country, the United States and around the world.
JW: Look around you. If they're sending me to jail for essentially no charges, what's next? We need to wake up. We need to come to terms with the government we have right now and demand a change, demand a free media that's not encumbered by interference, that doesn't force journalists to act as agents of the state, that truly is free, both in terms of corporate control and government control, and hopefully if we demand it, we'll have it.
AG: Imprisoned journalist Josh Wolf speaking from his jail cell at the federal correctional institution, Dublin, Calif. He spoke to us on Friday afternoon.
We asked a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's office to join us on the program today. He declined our invitation, but Luke Macauley, the spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's office for the Northern District of California, did send a statement. It reads, "We have an obligation to the community to investigate and gather evidence of serious crimes. The incident is under investigation so that the grand jury can determine what, if any, crimes were committed. As our court filings state, Wolf videotaped a public demonstration where there may have been an attempt to set a police car ablaze, and where a San Francisco police officer's skull was fractured when he was hit from behind by a demonstrator. Six separate judges -- one federal magistrate Judge, two federal district court judges, and a panel of three Ninth Circuit judges -- have now ruled that this office has issued a lawful subpoena for legitimate investigative purposes, and that the material and testimony in question should be provided to the grand jury." That was the statement from the prosecutor's office.
Martin Garbus is Josh Wolf's attorney. Time magazine calls him one of the best trial lawyers in the country. The National Law Journal and Newsweek cite Martin Garbus as America's most prominent First Amendment attorney, joining us now in the firehouse studio. Welcome to Democracy Now!, Martin Garbus.
Martin Garbus: Thank you.
AG: Your response to that statement?
MG: I think that what he said, namely, that they're investigating what may have been an attempt -- may have been an attempt to set fire to a police car, you don't set up grand juries in order to see whether or not there was a crime or not. You have a grand jury to investigate something that is a crime. I think the significant thing here is that the grand jury subpoena has been issued by the Joint Terrorism Task Force, so I think that you should put the Josh Wolf stuff aside, in a way, namely whatever happened at that particular demonstration, I think it's an attempt to get at people who were critical of the Bush administration. There is no crime -- there is no grand jury sitting right now in the state court. There is no crime being considered in the state court. The whole question of whatever happened to a policeman is a state court problem. You could not issue a subpoena out of the federal court to investigate what is a state court problem. There is no investigation of any kind going on, so far as we know, in the federal court. So there's no reason to hold him, and we have made this argument, and the argument has been rejected.
AG: What do you think is going on?
MG: I think basically it's an attempt by the government -- the Joint Terrorism Task Force is controlled out of Washington. I think it's an attempt, as Josh said, to learn the identity of people who are hostile to this administration. And the people who were at the demonstration, in addition to demonstrating about the subject of the demonstration, also had anti-Bush signs, also had anti-Iraq signs. Now, this subpoena was issued, as we know, early last year. I think that what you see is an attempt by the Bush administration to crack down on its critics.
AG: Now, there is a grand jury impaneled now.
MG: There is no grand jury impaneled in the state court, which relates to the crime about the ...
AG: But in the federal court?
MG: In the federal court, a grand jury is impaneled. So far as I know, it has not taken any evidence for the last four or five months. Now, what we did last time before Judge Alsup is we asked the government to tell us whether or not there was a grand jury taking evidence. The grand jury refused to tell us that. We then made an attempt to get discovery to find out for ourselves if a grand jury was sitting -- a federal grand jury was actually sitting and taking evidence. Judge Alsup denied that. If you represent somebody who's before the grand jury, you have very, very limited rights. The normal things that go on in a lawsuit, discovery or getting information from the government itself, you can't get.
AG: So, right now, is it possible -- or how long do you foresee Josh Wolf being held? Now, it's almost been six months.
MG: I think the high probability is that he'll be held certainly until July, which is supposedly the ending of this grand jury panel. Of course, the judge can extend the grand jury panel for another period of time. We'll be making a motion next month to try and get him out. The law is that once the detention time becomes punishment, then he should be released. In other words, as long as he's being held and there's some possibility that he'll give information, then the judge is right to hold him. But at the point that a judge becomes convinced that holding him any longer will not get any information, the judge is obligated to let him out. Now, this is a subjective approach, and this is a judge who's not terribly sympathetic.
AG: Martin Garbus is a famed First Amendment attorney. We'll come back from our break and talk with him, as well as the producer of a Frontline documentary premiering tomorrow night that deals with journalists and the state.

Dan Walters: Job training agency's surplus creates more angst
A few weeks ago, officials of a small state agency that dispenses funds for training workers to become more proficient were crying the blues.
Requests for funds had outstripped resources by tens of millions of dollars and the Employment Training Panel was being forced, they said, to strictly ration its payouts.
The move angered applicants, because a year before, the ETP was saying it was awash in money and was pleading for more training project proposals.
"We really need to see more good proposals we do not have enough," the panel's chairman, labor lobbyist Barry Broad, said in June 2013, according to panel minutes. "So it is no secret that if you are a state agency and you do not move your money, others will find some other way to allocate it."
In response to the angry responses from applicants last month, Broad acknowledged, "We haven't been very good at predicting what we should do in advance."
Nevertheless, the agency drew up rationing plans because of what Broad called "a dire situation," citing $87.3 million in pending requests for funds but just $32 million remaining to be allocated for the remainder of the 2014-15 fiscal year.
It turns out that the Employment Training Panel isn't as broke as members thought.
Last week, it was revealed that the Employment Training Fund, financed from payroll taxes on employers, ended the 2013-14 fiscal year with a $24.2 million balance and, according to a Department of Finance report, would end the 2014-15 fiscal year with an even larger surplus even after spending $63.2 million.
"I personally was not aware of it," Broad says.
After dipping to as low as $40 million a few years ago, payroll tax income climbed beyond $60 million a year, but as revenue rose, spending remained relatively flat.
As the surplus surfaced last week, the Department of Finance quietly placed into a budget cleanup bill $10 million more for the ETP.
"That would help a lot," says Broad. But rather than tempering criticism, it has fueled demands from applicants to release more money for projects that are being put on hold.
Finance officials say the $10 million is prudent because of the unpredictable nature of training panel spending, and given the volatility of the past year, that may be true.
However, it merely underscores what appears to be managerial shortcomings in an agency that plays an important role in the state's recovery from recession.
It mirrors, in a sense, what happened in the much larger Department of Parks and Recreation. It, too, was crying the blues about money and threatening to close state parks, but then it was discovered that the department had more than $50 million in hidden reserves.
The revelations in The Bee led to a management shakeup that cost the department director and other officials their jobs.

Cities Grapple With Oil-Train Safety
Recent Derailments Raise Concerns Over North Dakota Crude Traveling by Rail Through Cities
Every day, a train more than a mile long travels alongside a highway in Albany, N.Y., a half-mile from the state capitol building and even closer to houses. Its cargo is crude oil from North Dakota, which federal regulators and railroads fear is more explosive than other oils.
In the past year, Albany has become an unlikely hub for the U.S. oil business, taking in shipments by rail and sending them out by ship down the Hudson River to refineries. Now officials there are trying to get up to speed on how to handle a potential...

Right now my PS3 is busy downloading the v.1.3 firmware update, and based on how slowly it's moving, I have about a half hour to an hour to go. That's not that big of a deal—I'm getting used to slow PS3 downloads, and to be fair, I'm sure the servers are getting a good pounding right now. Here's what bothers me: why don't I already know what this update does?
When I found out there was an update, I hit up a few forums to read the pages and pages of people discussing the update. There are a lot of people saying a lot of contradictory things and no definitive links anywhere. In one thread, there's a translation of the Japanese page that describes the Japanese update, and I'm thinking they're saying mostly the right things, but why don't we have it in English? Why is this guesswork?
Microsoft has done a great job of keeping us up-to-date whenever they release an update. When an update comes out, both Major Nelson and the Gamerscoreblog will most likely have the information you need right as something goes live. So why can't Sony blog? They have that "semi-official" blog ThreeSpeech, but so far that doesn't have any information about the update.
I really wish Sony would communicate a touch better about what they're releasing and why before we have to download it. When there are such frequent updates—and I am glad they're updating frequently and that most of my issues get resolved quickly—there needs to be an efficient and quick way of getting the information out to consumers. Hell, even just providing a link so you could pull up this information on your PS3 when the update was done would be a step in the right direction. Sony needs to get better at this, and fast. Every time I download an update, I feel like I'm plunging into the woods with a very weak flashlight. Based on the arguments around the forums at various sites, others would probably agree.

DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Wendy's reported a sharply higher profit for its first quarter on Thursday as the hamburger chain saw lower costs and an improvement in sales.
The results beat Wall Street estimates, and its stock rose nearly 6 percent higher in premarket trading.
Sales at established company-owned restaurants climbed 1.3 percent as a result of successful product promotions and improved traffic at remodeled locations, Wendy's said.
At franchised locations, the figure rose 0.6 percent.
Wendy's Co., based in Dublin, Ohio, attributed the stronger performance at its company-run locations to the higher number of remodeled stores, which the company has been pushing aggressively as a way to position itself as a more premium fast-food chain.
CEO Emil Brolick said the solid performance was particularly rewarding given an extremely rough winter that cut down on foot traffic, on top of already intense competition in the sector.
For the quarter ended March 30, Wendy's earned $46.3 million, or 12 cents per share. That compares with $2.1 million, or 1 cent per share, a year earlier.
The improved profit was partly the result of a reduction in total costs and interest expenses. The company also booked $8.6 million on the sale of some restaurants, as well as a gain on the sale of other surplus properties.
Removing non-repeating items, earnings were 7 cents per share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet predicted earnings of 5 cents per share.
Revenue declined 13 percent to $523.2 million due to the sale of 418 company-run restaurants, but that was still better than the $502.7 million Wall Street expected.
Shares rose 48 cents to $8.81 before the market opened.
The restaurant operator stood by its outlook for 2014 adjusted earnings between 34 and 36 cents per share.
Long term, Wendy's still anticipates mid-teens growth in adjusted earnings per share.
Wendy's has more than 6,500 restaurants, with the majority of those in the U.S.

Six of the Emmy-winning show's lead actors push to void their contracts
On TV, they play one big (mostly) happy family.
But the cast of Modern Family is facing some serious off-screen drama after six of the show's lead actors filed a lawsuit Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court to void their contracts, according to legal documents obtained by PEOPLE.
Sofia Vergara, Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Ed O'Neill, who was originally negotiating separately, say their 20th Century Fox Television contracts break California's "7-Year Rule," which prohibits personal services contracts that span longer than seven years. (Their current contracts oblige them to the Emmy-winning ABC series from 2009 to 2016.)
"Modern Family has been a breakout critical and financial success," the lawsuit states. "That success, however, has been built upon a collection of illegal contracts."
A 20th Century Fox spokesperson told the Associated Press that the studio had no immediate comment on the legal action.
Production on the show's fourth season was due to begin with a table reading Tuesday, although salary negotiations have set back production.
The suit also says that the cast's contracts limit the pay raises they can receive each season, reports the AP. Vergara, who portrays the sultry Gloria, can't receive more than a 5 percent pay increase per season. However, her costars are capped at 4 percent.
Vergara, 40, Burrell, 44, Bowen, 42, Stonestreet, 40, and Ferguson, 36, are being offered $150,000 per episode, in addition to a $50,000-per-episode bonus for season 4, sources tell the Hollywood Reporter. O'Neill, 66, who starred in the Fox hit Married with Children until 1997, reportedly takes home larger paychecks than his costars.

She fancies herself to be quite the persuasive talker and claims she can "sell ice cubes to eskimos". She's had her share of odd jobs in her life including playing Pocahontas at a theme park. Ok that's kinda cool. Like Angelina Jolie's character in Girl, Interrupted said, "I've always wanted to be a professional Cinderella."
Monica says she'll miss partying and clubbing while she's in the Samoan wilderness. I really wish she hadn't said that. She's lost me now. Actually, when I was 25 I was a bit of a club queen so I guess I can't really hold that against her. But this next thing I can hold against her: She wants to buy herself a designer purse if she wins. Ugh... that means she goes to lame clubs so I can totally go back to hating her for missing her clubbing. At least I went to cool edgy goth clubs. No one at a cool rocker club would dream of buying a designer purse with a million dollar cash prize. At least say you want to travel or get a car or something, but a purse! A goddamn purse! Come on!
OK I'm bored with her now... let's watch her video.
I was totally waiting for her teeny tiny booby to pop out of her dress. Don't tell me you weren't thinking the exact same thing. Maybe she should get boobs with the prize money. Not huge freaky ones, just a cup or so bigger. She's got a good head on her shoulders though. I can't fault her for that at all. She seems intelligent and rational. It'll be interesting to see if her flirting pays off.
Please to enjoy:

"Thus saith the LORD" is a frequent refrain encountered in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. The Jews' Torah and Tanakh tells the same story in Hebrew. The thing is, though, that since the earliest primitive religions were recorded, not once has God ever spoken out of his very own Divine mouth for us to hear, it is always men who presume to speak the words of God.
Not all believers in God are mentally ill. But these primitive, self-proclaimed, prophets of God were likely one of two types. (1) Either they were mad, apocalyptic fundamentalist lunatics, who actually believed they were speaking God's words, or (2), some of them knew exactly what they were doing, and pretended to speak for God in order to spiritually and consequently subjugate the people and bend them to their will. Whether a prophet was of the first or second type, his followers were blindly willing to obey his every word without question or hesitation because they believed he spoke the very words of their God.
Whether the prophet was of the first or second type, mad lunatic, or master manipulator, the God they presumed to speak for invariably hated the same peoples and practices that the prophet himself hated. This only strengthens the case against God and consequently strengthens the atheist position. God has never spoken in his own voice, which if a God existed, he could easily do, and in the language of every human on earth simultaneously. These prophets only believed themselves to speak for God or pretended to.
There is no empirical evidence that any supernatural Supreme Being exists. Physicists have several good theories that show that the universe can be timeless and uncreated, none of which violate any known laws of nature or physics. This also strengthens the atheist position, and establishes the likely non-existence of God. And while not all believers are mentally ill, they have foregone the use of their reason, and have been duped into believing the words of the mentally ill and manipulators.

As a younger man I heard voices call my name sometimes. To understand this you have to ask did anyone ever call your name? It's not an exclusive name and others may have that name also. It's like hearing your telephone ring and thinking "this has happened before." (I'm sure it did. LOL) I was working on my car one time and someone called my name, but maybe it was a voice from TV or some other person. In later life I was in church and the minister did a sermon about "God calling your name." Many people were crying their wonderful "tears of joy." Today I think it's all insanity. People make something supernatural out of something that can be explained away.
I suspect that Jesus did live, but the accounts of him in the Bible are hardly trustworthy. However, I believe Lewis was arguing his point from the assumption that the Bible is historically trustworthy. (Settings aside the absurdity of that claim, his "trilemma" seems to hold true.)
I'd like to be corrected on this point if I'm wrong (it's been a long time since I read Mere Christianity), but I think Lewis argued that Jesus couldn't have been insane because of the rationality of much of his teachings (even we have to agree that many of his insights are profound, even if they're not original to him), the depth of meaning found in his parables, and so on. Again, this is assuming the accuracy of the gospels.
Jesus could have been purposefully fooling people, but I'm not sure there's a way to know for certain, even if, for argument's sake, you temporarily grant the accuracy of the Bible. But history is filled with people who were clearly mentally ill and yet highly effective leaders and intellectuals. Obviously one of the most recent examples is Hitler. A supremely evil man with supremely effective rhetorical skills and a mind-boggling degree of delusions of grandeur. Other less offensive examples include Pythagoras and Tesla, who clearly suffered from mental disorders of one kind or another.
A leader's effectiveness is independent of being sane, or mentally fit in nearly any way. Maybe Jesus never existed. Maybe he did and he was just a really great guy whose message has been horribly twisted. And maybe he was a total nutcase who thought he was the divine son of God (the accusation that the Bible claims the Jews used when pursuing capital punishment). Or whatever. The idea that Jesus couldn't have been crazy is itself crazy. Mentally divergent people can still be effective leaders, good or evil.
Lewis' trilemma remains a false choice, because the one option he either refuses to acknowledge or is unwilling to face is, to my mind, the single most likely:
Jesus was either a gross exaggeration based on some Jewish rabbi who lived in that time, or an invention out of whole cloth who never existed in the flesh at all. The liars and lunatics are those who promoted this hyperbole because it got them attention, profit or both.
They say that when a story or a deal seems too good to be true, it usually is. Q.E.D.
Good observations. Reminds me of C.S. Lewis's "trilemma": Jesus must have been a lunatic, a liar, or actually God. I have no problem thinking he was a lunatic, though the poor trustworthiness of the gospels makes it impossible to be certain.

Using newly discovered historical evidence, Lumumba renders an emotional and tautly woven account of the mail clerk and beer salesman with a flair for oratory and an uncompromising belief in the capacity of his homeland to build a prosperous nation independent of its former Belgium overlords.

I'm trying to have a room the player steps into have its own ambient sound. not place a script_struct and have it loop. for example the the zm_giant.map
they have trigger_multiple brush textured with a sound_trigger texture and a targetname ambient_package and script_ambientroom factory_largeroom.
when i tried this it didn't work also watched this video by UGO aka Wakka on Tutorial 6 - Adding Sounds - Ambient - Reverb - Bumps, watched like a bunch of times
and still couldn't get it to work!! please help me somebody! I know someone has this working.
So, I have a vehicle in my map, but, even though he is a moving platform (so it should generate navmesh), zombie can't enter it or even get near to it when the player is on it, so I would like to know if can set something like a interest point, that calls zombies to a place when they don't know where to go.

So I setuped a vehicle in ape and in radiant, its working fine, but, I need a function that makes, when he get to the final vehicle node, he gets back to the start, following the same path, I tried to make a script for this, but it didn't work (I'm really bad at scripting), someone knows how to do it? And, if you want to see my horrible script and tell me what I made wrong... here it is: https://pastebin.com/jLxivaUp

Hi Melvin,
Would you or anyone else be willing to put a tutorial together for me?
I'm looking for help on setting up the train function.
I'd like to have some models moving down a belt. I've done it before with CoD4, but it's been so long...
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Sup guys
I want zombies to enter the map without able to repair the wooden barriers (So they just jump over the brush/model when they enter the playable area). But for some reason I can't get zombie jumping over brushes and/or models work. I've tried a lot of things and also watched a lot of tutorials. But for some reason it just doesn't work.
Here's an image of what I use and the KVP's I gave it.
Hey peeps, Biel here.
I'm having a question about the PBG Volume that Clayton used on his WIP map 'Alleyway'.
When I'm searching for the PBG, I receive 3 hits. 'Box', 'Omni' and 'Spot'. I want to receive a nice bloom effect on a spot that I made. What do I need to use and how do I use it?
Here's an example of what I have right now by only using a custom LightFX and Fog:
So I've had this problem on my map since the start, got frustrated with it and gave up mapping for about 5 months and I recently thought I'd give my map another shot and try and fix this issue but I'm really struggling.
In certain areas when I get close to a probe or enter a new room I get this blinding brightness effect, and when I turn around to look into the room I came from it looks pitch black. Once in the room the lighting returns to normal (mostly). I have messed with the SSI/sun/worldspawn, etc to no avail. I have tried countless different approaches to how I set up my probes, using boxes, Ctrl + left clicking the walls, cutting the probes to shape, using multiple probes, linking probes, blending probes, but nothing fixes it entirely (I occasionally manage to improve it, or fix an area entirely, but then it just occurs in the following room or something) and I'm really at the end of my tether with it. What's worse is that no one seems to know why it's happening or has this...
Well, more like, is there a way to keep a certain part of the beam from appearing? Let me set up the scenario that I am in currently: so in this one area of my map, there are two different levels, one room directly on top of the other, and the box is placed in the bottom level, sooo, the box beam appears straight through the floor of the upper level and just looks awful (see picture in this link, please http://s1376.photobucket.com/user/masterguyperson_the_second/media/Box Beam_zpsj7uayi7t.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0) - So, as I says, is there any way to hide a part of the box's light beam so that it's not immediately appearing out of the ground?
Hi there! So I have seen the tutorials that MelVin has created, and while they are helpful, they didn't exactly cover a situation that I am currently facing. So I have a room that is rectangular, and has a square that protrudes out from one of the walls (see pictures http://s1376.photobucket.com/user/masterguyperson_the_second/library/Reflection_Probe?sort=3&page=1), that square is the outer wall of what is an elevator shaft. My question is, how do I set up my probes so that they aren't cutting into other areas, but also don't leave any seams, in a situation like this?
Can not get sounds working and now its doing my head in, I need custom sounds for the doors ect and ambient sounds so any chance of a tutorial please before I go mad? (though I fear I did that years ago). Also my minimap was working fine and looked great ect but now since the last tools update it no longer works, I have tried redoing it from scratch but no joy :( that's just the last 2 things to get my map finished now.
Hello, I am new to mapping with radiant and have so questions
- when switching to the light-render mode (F9) it tells me I need to press the lightning bolt to update the lighting, where is it?
- when recently launching radiant, I were not able to delete a block that I've build
- is it normal that key binds like ctrl + c and ctrl + v don't work?
- is there a way to switch this awkward camera movement controls to something reasonable?
Also in the first map I created, there were no gun sounds at all (even the standard weapons), any clues why? it was no problem when making a new one.
Thankful for any replies :)
I'm making a map that would benefit from a feature where if a zombie wanders into a certain area of the map, it would trigger a game over. Could somebody help me out with this?
I'm having trouble with ghosting, seems to be mostly at the edge of a reflection probe like in a wall
when I walk up to the wall I can see shadows of the wall, does it in the temp plate map to. v watched about every youtube vid I can find, lol
ill let the screenshot speak for itself, but all interiors look like this with light constantly leaking though. The picture shows a giant block i just made, then made hollow with a very sizeable wall thickness then rendered the light.
Since the BO3 and modtools update, my map in Workshop is light glitched. It's fine every time after I compile on my pc, but uploaded is blackout, no light. The first time, I was able to fix it with a change to a default ssi. It wouldn't even display right in Radiant until I changed the ssi I was using. So that was an obvious fix. I used another stock ssi, it worked. But I didnt like it so changed it. Now, after 6 attempts, even with stock default night ssi the workshop version is glitched black. My map is fine, without errors on my pc. Uploaded, no light. Another Radiant glitch? Suggestions?
Sorry but need some help (again) been trying to get my doors to work, the old script way does not work and using the zombies doors does not work even if I change the trigger to use touch so now I know about 20 ways it does not work can someone write a tutorial please on how it does work.
Thanks :)
Hi, I have a problem with my map in that I have 2 places on my map that have metal rails, one place being a window with bars in it and the second a handrail on a bridge and the problem I have is nothing is being drawn between the rails on the bridge or out the window...... its just a nice view of the skybox :(
Its my guess that they have done away with portals and it does it its self but there must be a way to over ride it, I have tried several things like making them non collision ect
and by the way "HI Everyone!"
Just a quick one here, made some custom textures that work ok in Radiant but not showing in the game, where do I stick either the images folder or the .iwd......... I have tried both and several different combinations ect
See alot of indoor adding probes but not much on outdoors. So how many should I add..where and why..and what if I don't want every shiny..metal etc. I understand but wall etc.don't have to be shiny in my case...also what can we change in the probes.Bit of a noob with probes..
