Emergency Mode???? So I was driving down the interstate when a drunk swerved and almost ran me off the road. As I watched the drunk barrel further down the road and run two other people nearly off the road, I thought I better get highway patrol on the case quickly. So I called 911 from my Q and it displayed connecting.... then a strange beep and then the call went through. After I gave the dispatcher all the info, I hung up and underneath the signal icon where either alltel service or roaming service is usualy displayed was now "emergency mode". My question is what is emergency mode?? It was displayed there for about 20 minutes and then returned to roaming service. Does this enable the gps tracking mode for 911 dispatch centers? Just curious. Anyone who knows please reply. THx.
It does turn on the aGPS when you dial 911 to send location info to the police. Unfortunatly, the system is not 100% and location info doesn't always get through all the networks and hardware to the operator that answers. Too many different phone and police systems I guess. A cell phone can always be used to call 911 even if you don't pay for phone service is my understanding. When you call from a land line, the police system does a simple reverse look up on the caller id to figure out where you are.
Yes...larsdennert...the info you stated is correct about the aGPS/911 tracking used to identify your cellphone's location (via triangulaton off (nearest) repeater towers). Even thought we weren't suppossed to mention it (because it was not part and parcel of American Red Cross Health and Safety Training classes) in the mid nineties, the subject always came up and my two co-instructors (one an EMT) always fielded that one. Just some additional information (from Texas).

Page content sent from XML RPC is corrupted
I am using python-wordpress-xmlrpc to edit a page to wordpress, I generate some HTML and I am sending it to wordpress. The content is a piece of valid html code, it consists of regular html tags and some text. However when I browse to the page in WordPress dashboard, the page content looks like:
h2My Product C++/h2
div style="border: 2px solid #ECECEC;-webkit-box-shadow: 1px 2px 5px #888;"
p align="justify"bFDM/b (bx) is something nice
As you see <h2> becomes h2>, <div> has become div>.The HTML on the Python side looks OK, so I am guessing that I am not using the XML RPC correctly. Any ideas where/why this sort of corruption would occur?

The United States Senate Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor and Management (also known as the McClellan Committee) was a select committee created by the United States Senate on January 30, 1957,[1] and dissolved on March 31, 1960.[2] The select committee was directed to study the extent of criminal or other improper practices in the field of labor-management relations or in groups of employees or employers, and to suggest changes in the laws of the United States that would provide protection against such practices or activities.[2] It conducted 253 active investigations, served 8,000 subpoenas for witnesses and documents, held 270 days of hearings, took testimony from 1,526 witnesses (343 of whom invoked the Fifth Amendment), and compiled almost 150,000 pages of testimony.[1][2] At the peak of its activity in 1958, 104 persons worked for the committee.[2]
The select committee's work led directly to the enactment of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (Public Law 86-257, also known as the Landrum-Griffin Act) on September 14, 1959.[2][3]
Contents |
In December 1952, Robert F. Kennedy was appointed assistant counsel for the Government Operations by the then-chairman of the Committee on Government Operations, Senator Joseph McCarthy.[4][5] Kennedy resigned in July 1953,[6] but rejoined the committee staff as chief minority counsel in February 1954.[4][7] When the Democrats regained the majority in January 1955, Kennedy became the committee's chief counsel.[4][5] Soon thereafter, the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the U.S. Senate Committee on Government Operations, under the leadership of Democratic Senator John L. McClellan (chair of the committee and subcommittee), began holding hearings into labor racketeering.
Much of the Permanent Subcommittee's work focused on a scandal which emerged in 1956 in the powerful trade union, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. In the mid-1950s, Midwestern Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa began an effort to unseat Dave Beck, the union's international president. In October 1955, mobster Johnny Dio met with Hoffa in New York City and the two men conspired to create as many as 15 paper locals (fake local unions which existed only on paper) to boost Hoffa's delegate totals.[8][9] When the paper locals applied for charters[10] from the international union, Hoffa's political foes were outraged.[11][12] A major battle broke out within the Teamsters over whether to charter the locals, and the media attention led to investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.[13]
Beck and other Teamster leaders subsequently challenged the authority of the Permanent Subcommittee to investigate the union by arguing that the Senate's Labor and Public Welfare Committee had jurisdiction over labor racketeering, not Government Operations.[5][14] McClellan objected to the transfer of his investigation to the Labor Committee because he felt the Labor chairman, Senator John F. Kennedy, was too close to union leaders and would not thoroughly investigate organized labor.[5]
To solve its jurisdictional and political problems, the Senate established on January 30, 1957, an entirely new committee, the Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor and Management, and gave it broad subpeona and investigative powers.[15] The new select committee was given a year to complete its work,[16] and charged with studying the extent of criminal or other improper practices in the field of labor-management relations or in groups of employees or employers. Half the membership was drawn from the Committee on Government Operations and half from the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare.[2] McClellan, Ervin, McCarthy, and Mundt were drawn from Government Operations, and Kennedy, McNamara, Ives, and Goldwater from Labor.[5] An equal number of Democrats and Republicans sat on the Select Committee.[17] Senator McClellan was named chair of the Select Committee, and Republican Senator Irving Ives of New York vice chair.[2][18] Democrats and liberals, primarily, criticized the committee for not having a neutral attitude toward labor. Only three of the committee's eight members looked on organized labor favorably, and only one of them (Senator Patrick McNamara) was strongly pro-labor.[3][18][19][20] The committee's other five members were strongly pro-management, and that included the Select Committee's Southern conservative chair,[21] John L. McClellan.[1][5][3] McClellan hired Robert F. Kennedy as the subcommittee's chief counsel and investigator.[2] Kennedy, too, did not have a neutral opinion of labor unions. Appalled by stories he had heard about union intimidation on the West Coast, Kennedy undertook the chief counsel's job determined to root out union malfeasance and with little knowledge or understanding of or even concern over management misbehavior.[4] The biases of the Select Committee members and its chief counsel, some observers concluded, led the committee to view corruption in labor-management relations as a problem with unions, not management, and management as nothing more than a victim.[3]
Senator McClellan gave Robert Kennedy extensive control over the scheduling of testimony, areas of investigation, and questioning of witnesses.[1][22] This suited McClellan, a conservative Democrat and opponent of labor unions: Robert Kennedy would take the brunt of organized labor's outrage, while McClellan would be free to pursue an anti-labor legislative agenda once the hearings began to draw to a close.[5][4] Republican members of the Select Committee voiced strong disagreement with McClellan's decision to let Kennedy set the direction for the committee and ask most of the questions, but McClellan largely ignored their protests.[1] Robert Kennedy proved to be an inexpert interrogator, fumbling questions and engaging in shouting matches with witnesses rather than laying out legal cases against them.[1][4][18][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] McClellan and Kennedy's goal had been to refer nearly all their investigations to the Justice Department for prosection, but the department refused to do so because it concluded that nearly all the legal cases were significantly flawed.[1][31] A frustrated Robert Kennedy publicly complained about the Justice Department's decisions in September 1958.[1][32]
Chief Counsel Kennedy resolved to investigate a wide range of labor unions and corporations, including the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the United Auto Workers (UAW), Anheuser-Busch, Sears, and Occidental Life Insurance.[2] The Select Committee also established formal liaisons with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Internal Revenue Service, Federal Narcotics Bureau, Department of Labor, and other federal agencies as well as state and local offices and officials involved in law enforcement.[2]
The Select Committee focused its attention for most of 1957 on the Teamsters union. Teamsters President Dave Beck fled the country for a month to avoid its subpoenas before returning in March 1957.[33] The Select Committee had a difficult time investigating the Teamsters. Four of the paper locals were dissolved to avoid committee scrutiny, several Teamster staffers provided verbal testimony which differed substantially from their prior written statements (the Select Committee eventually charged six of them with contempt of Congress), and union records were lost or destroyed (allegedly on purpose).[34] But, working with the FBI, the Select Committee electrified the nation when on February 22, 1957, wiretaps were played in public before a national television audience in which Dio and Hoffa discussed the creation of even more paper locals,[35] including the establishment of a paper local to organize New York City's 30,000 taxi cab drivers and use the charter as a means of extorting money from a wide variety of employers.[36] As 1.2 million viewers[37] watched on live television, evidence was unearthed over the next few weeks of a mob-sponsored plot in which Oregon Teamsters unions would seize control of the state legislature, state police, and state attorney general's office through bribery, extortion and blackmail.[38] On March 14, 1957, Jimmy Hoffa was arrested for allegedly trying to bribe an aide to the Select Committee.[39] Hoffa denied the charges (and was later acquitted), but the arrest trigged additional investigations and more arrests and indictments over the following weeks.[40] Less than a week later, Teamsters President Dave Beck admitted to receiving an interest-free $300,000 loan from the Teamsters which he had never repaid, and Select Committee investigators claimed that loans to Beck and other union officials (and their businesses) had cost the Teamsters more than $700,000.[41] Beck appeared before the Select Committee for the first time on March 25, 1957, and notoriously invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 117 times.[42] Beck was called before the McClellan Committee again in May 1957, and additional interest-free loans and other potentially illegal and unethical financial transactions exposed.[43] Based on these revelations, Beck was indicted for tax evasion on May 2, 1957.[44]
The Beck and Hoffa hearings generated strong criticisms of Robert Kennedy. Many liberal critics said he was a brow-beater, badgerer, insolent, overbearing, intolerant, and even vicious.[4][25][45] Hoffa and other witnesses often were able to anger Kennedy to the point where he lost control, and would shout and insult them.[4] Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, one of Robert Kennedy's mentors and a close friend, criticized Kennedy for presuming the guilt of anyone who exercised his Fifth Amendment rights.[1][4] Noted attorney Edward Bennett Williams accused the Select Committee of bringing witnesses into executive session, ascertaining that they would exercise their Fifth Amendment rights, and then force them to return in public and refuse to answer questions—merely to generate media attention.[4] The Chicago American newspaper so strongly criticized Robert Kennedy for his overbearing, zealous behavior during the hearings that a worried Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. rushed to Washington, D.C. to see for himself if Robert Kennedy was endangering John Kennedy's political future.[4]
During much of the summer and fall of 1957, the Select Committee investigated corruption in the Bakery Workers Union, United Textile Workers, Amalgamated Meat Cutters Union, and Transport Workers Union.[46] In the late fall, the committee focused its attention on union-busting, and examined the behavior of companies such as Morton Packing Company, Continental Baking Company, and Sears, Roebuck and Company.[47]
While continuing to investigate and hold hearings on other unions and corporations, the McClellan Committee also began to examine the behavior of Jimmy Hoffa and other Teamsters officials. Senator McClellan accused Hoffa of attempting to gain control of the nation's economy and set himself up as a sort of private government.[48] The Select Committee also accused Hoffa of instigating the creation of the paper locals, and of arranging for a $400,000 loan to the graft-ridden International Longshoremen's Association in a bid to take over that union and gain Teamsters control of the waterfront as well as warehouses.[49] Johnny Dio, who by late summer 1957 was in prison serving time on bribery and conspiracy charges, was paroled by a federal court in order to testify at the Select Committee's hearings.[50] But in a two-hour appearance before the Select Committee, Dio invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 140 times, and refused to answer any of the committee's questions.[51] But despite the problems encountered in interrogating Dio, the Select Committee developed additional testimony and evidence alleging widespread corruption in Hoffa-controlled Teamster units was presented in public in August 1957.[9][52] The worsening corruption scandal led the AFL-CIO to eject the Teamsters on December 6, 1957.[53]
As the Hoffa hearings occurred in August 1957, the Select Committee met in executive session to restructure its organizations and set its agenda for the future.[3] The Select Committee had succeeded in securing the removal of Dave Beck as Teamsters president and seemed on the verge of sending Jimmy Hoffa to jail as well, but the Committee had also been strongly criticized for its handling of witnesses and its apparent one-sidedness in exposing union but not management corruption.[5][54] To guide the Select Committee's investigations in the future, McClellan established a set of 11 areas of investigation for the committee, nine of which involved labor misdeeds and only one of which involved management misbehavior (preventing workers from organizing unions).[3] The management-oriented area came last on the committee's list of priorities, and there were no staff assigned to investigate the issue.[55]
Under the new guidelines, the Select Committee's schedule of hearings slowed. In January 1958, Chairman McClellan asked for and received permission from the Senate to extend the deadline for completing the committee's work for another year.[16] For a short time early in the year, the Select Committee investigated the International Union of Operating Engineers, and uncovered a limited financial scandal at the top of the union.[56] But the main focus of the committee for the first half of the year was the United Auto Workers. Republicans on the Select Committee, notably Barry Goldwater, had for several months in late 1957 accused Robert Kennedy of covering up extensive corruption in the UAW.[1][4][5][18] The Republicans pointed to a lengthy, ongoing, and sometimes violent strike which the UAW was conducting against the Kohler plumbing fixtures company in Wisconsin.[1][4][5][18] Walter Reuther, President of the Auto Workers, told Select Committee investigators that the Kohler Company was committing numerous unfair labor practices against the union and that the union's books were in order.[5] Despite no evidence of any mismanagement or organized crime infiltration, Kennedy and McClellan went ahead with hearings on the UAW in February 1958. The five-week series of hearings produced no evidence of corruption.[5][57] A second set of hearings into the UAW in September 1959 lasted just six days, and once more uncovered no evidence of UAW malfeasance.[1][58] The September 1959 hearings were the last public hearings the embarrassed committee ever held.[5]
As the UAW hearings were winding down, the Select Committee issued its first Interim Report on March 24, 1958. The report roundly condemned Jimmy Hoffa (by now President of the Teamsters) and accused the Teamsters of gathering enough power to destroy the national economy.[24] Refocusing its attention back on the Teamsters, the Select Committee held a short set of hearings in August 1958 intended to expose corruption by the Hoffa regime. But a number of witnesses recanted their written testimony and the hearings led nowhere.[59]
In February 1959, the Select Committee's attention turned to an investigation of organized crime.[1][3][60] McClellan had won yet another one-year extension of the Select Committee's existence in January, giving it additional time for more investigations.[17] This new focus was a natural outgrowth of the committee's previous investigations, but it also reflected the committee's frustration at uncovering no additional scandals like the one which had rocked the Teamsters. Through much of the spring and summer of 1959, the committee held a series of public hearings which brought a number of organized crime figures to the public's attention, including Anthony Corrallo, Vito Genovese, Anthony Provenzano, Joey Glimco, Sam Giancana, and Carlos Marcello.[1] Although more muted and less frequent, criticisms of the Select Committee and Robert Kennedy continued. Kennedy's moralism about labor racketeering, several high-profile critics concluded, even endangered the Constitution.[61] Although McClellan wanted to further investigate organized crime, the Select Committee had reached the limits of its jurisdiction and no further investigations were made.
By September 1959, it was clear that the Select Committee was not developing additional information to justify continued operation.[62] A second interim report was released in August 1959 once again denouncing the Teamsters and Jimmy Hoffa.[63] Robert F. Kennedy resigned as the Select Committee's chief counsel on September 11, 1959, and joined Senator John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign as campaign manager.[4][64] Committee members became more involved in passing legislation to deal with the abuses uncovered.
The final report of the Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor and Management was issued on March 31, 1960. At that time, the authority granted by the Senate to the Select Committee was transferred to the Committee on Government Operations.[2][65]
During its existence, the Select Committee conducted 253 active investigations, served 8,000 subpoenas for witnesses and documents, held 270 days of hearings with 1,526 witnesses (343 of whom invoked the Fifth Amendment), compiled almost 150,000 pages of testimony, and issued two interim and one final report.[1][2] At its peak, 104 persons were engaged in the work of the committee,[1] including 34 field investigators.[1][2] Another 58 staffers were delegated to the committee by the Government Accounting Office and worked in Detroit, Chicago, New York City, and southern Florida.[1][2] To accommodate the huge staff, a corridor was blocked off in the Old Senate Office Building and turned into a suite of offices.[1]
Some observers continued to criticize the Select Committee. In 1961, Yale University law professor Alexander Bickel accused Kennedy of being punitive and battering witnesses, compared his tactics to those of Joseph McCarthy, and declared Kennedy unfit to be Attorney General.[66] At the turn of the century, historians and biographers continued to criticize the Select Committee's lack of respect for the constitutional rights of witnesses brought before it.[1][23][25][27]
Several historic legal developments came out of the select committee's investigation, including a U.S. Supreme Court decision and landmark labor legislation. The right of union officials to exercise their Fifth Amendment rights was upheld and a significant refinement of constitutional law made when the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed the right of union officials to not divulge the location of union records in Curcio v. United States, 354 U.S. 118 (1957).[67]
The scandals uncovered by the Select Committee led directly to passage of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (also known as the Landrum-Griffin Act) in 1959. Calls for legislation and drafts of bills began circulating in the Senate as early as May 1957.[68][69] Among the more prominent bills was one submitted in 1958 by Senators John F. Kennedy and Irving Ives (with assistance from nationally-known labor law professor Archibald Cox) which covered 30 areas, including union recordkeeping, finances, and democratic organizational structures and rules.[24] The Kennedy-Ives bill proved immensely controversial, leading to the longest Senate debate of the year, and the greatest number of amendments and floor votes any piece of legislation that year.[24] But President Dwight D. Eisenhower opposed the bill and it died when the Congressional session ended in December 1958. Kennedy reintroduced the bill, with some additional provisions, in 1959. Although Ives had retired from the Senate, Senator Sam Ervin agreed to co-sponsor the revised bill.[24] The Kennedy-Ervin bill also encountered stiff opposition, and Republicans were able to win Senate approval of a management "bill of rights" to the bill which labor strongly denounced.[70] But with this and other Republican-backed amendments, the bill passed the Senate overwhelmingly.[24]
By 1959 the Eisenhower administration had crafted its own bill, which was co-sponsored in the House of Representatives by Phillip M. Landrum (Democrat from Georgia) and Robert P. Griffin (Republican from Michigan). The Landrum-Griffin bill contained much stricter financial reporting and fiduciary restrictions than the Kennedy-Ervin bill as well as several unrelated provisions restricting union organizing, picketing, and boycott activity.[71] A conference committee to reconcile the House and Senate bills began meeting on August 18, 1959.[72] On September 3 and 4, the House and Senate passed the conference committee bill, which was far closer to the original Landrum-Griffin bill than the Kennedy-Ervin bill, and President Eisenhower signed the bill into law on September 14, 1959.[24][73]
After the Select Committee's mandate expired, Senator McClellan and others advocated that the Senate expand the jurisdiction of one or more committees not only to provide oversight of the new labor law but also to continue the Senate's investigations into organized crime. McClellan originally sought jurisdiction for his own Committee on Government Operations, but members of his committee balked at the request.[74] However, McClellan was able to convince the full Senate to impose jurisdiction on Government Operations, and the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations began making inquiries into matters pertaining to syndicated or organized crime.[75]
The national attention paid to Robert F. Kennedy during the Select Committee's hearings helped launch his career as a government official and politician.[1][23][26][76] It also earned him a reputation for ruthlessness and hard work.[25][77] His experiences with the Select Committee significantly affected Robert Kennedy, and strongly influenced his decision to make fighting organized crime a high priority during his tenure as United States Attorney General.[23][78][79][80][81] After leaving the Select Committee, Robert F. Kennedy spent the better part of a year writing about his experiences and what he had learned about unions and organized crime. Kennedy's book, The Enemy Within, was published in February 1960.[82]
The hearings also made Jimmy Hoffa a household name in the United States.[23][83][19] The hearings were a critical turning point in Hoffa's career as a labor leader.[37][76][19] Bringing down Dave Beck ensured that Hoffa would become president of the Teamsters, and outcome Robert Kennedy later regretted.[19][84] Although Hoffa was indicted several times in federal and state courts based on evidence uncovered by the Select Committee, he was never convicted on any of the charges.[85] Prosecutors and others accused Hoffa of jury tampering and suborning witnesses in order to beat conviction, but these charges also were never proven in a court of law.[85] After he became U.S. Attorney General in January 1961, Robert F. Kennedy formed a "get Hoffa squad" whose mission was to identify additional evidence and secure a conviction against Hoffa.[4][28][26][76][85][86] Kennedy's focus on Hoffa was so strong that many observers at the time as well as later historians believed Kennedy had a personal vendetta against Hoffa.[87][80][45][88] Hoffa was eventually convicted by a federal district court jury on March 4, 1964, on two counts of tampering with the jury during his 1962 conspiracy trial in Nashville, Tennessee, and sentenced to eight years in prison and a $10,000 fine.[85] While on bail during his appeal, a second federal district court jury convicted Hoffa on July 26, 1964, on one count of conspiracy and three counts of mail and wire fraud.[89] Hoffa entered prison on March 7, 1967, and Frank Fitzsimmons was named Acting President of the union.[90] Hoffa resigned as Teamsters president on July 9, 1971.[91] Barred by a commutation of sentence agreement from participating directly or indirectly in union activities until 1980, Hoffa was released from prison on December 23, 1971, but disappeared on July 30, 1975 (and was presumably murdered).[85]
The hearings had positive benefits for other key participants as well. The Kennedy-Ives bill was Senator John F. Kennedy's most important legislative accomplishment, and although it was not enacted into law many Senators nonetheless revised their opinion and now saw him as a serious legislator.[1][24][87][92] This helped remove a major obstacle to Kennedy's political aspirations.[24] Kennedy also used the publicity he gained from the Select Committee's work to launch his own presidential bid in 1960.[23] The work of the Select Committee also was a key turning point in the Senate career of John L. McClellan. McClellan devoted significant time and resources of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (of which he was chair) to pushing anti-organized crime agenda in 1960s, and his efforts kept the issue alive despite the prominence of other issues such as the civil rights movement and Vietnam War.[76][79][93] When limited jurisdiction over organized crime was transferred to the Committee on Government Operations after the disbandment of the Select Committee, Senator McClellan held a number of sensational hearings on organized crime from 1960 to 1964 which became known as the Valachi Hearings.[79][94] In 1962, McClellan published his own account of the Select Committee's activities and findings in the book Crime Without Punishment.[68][95] The senator sponsored several pieces of important anti-crime legislation in the 1960s and early 1970s, including the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 and the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 (part of which contains the highly influential Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act).[79][93][96]
The Select Committee's chair was Senator John L. McClellan, and the vice chair was Senator Irving Ives. An equal number of Democrats and Republicans sat on the committee.[17] Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy died on May 2, 1957, and was replaced by Republican Senator Homer E. Capehart.[1] Democratic Senator Patrick McNamara resigned from the committee on March 31, 1958, to protest the Select Committee's rough treatment of union witnesses.[97] He was replaced by Democratic Senator Frank Church.
Majority | Minority |
The Select Committee's chair was Senator John L. McClellan. With the retirement of Senator Irving Ives from the Senate in December 1958,[18] the new Vice Chair became Senator Karl E. Mundt.[3] Senator Homer E. Capehart joined the committee to keep the partisan balance.[5][17]
Majority | Minority |
Senator John L. McClellan (D-Arkansas) was the committee's only chair for its entire history.
At the peak of its activity in 1958, 104 persons worked for the committee, including 34 field investigators.[2] Another 58 staff were loaned to the committee from the General Accounting Office.[1][2] Committee staff included:
- Robert F. Kennedy, Chief Counsel.
- Carmine Bellino, Chief Assistant to the Chief Counsel.[87][21]
- Angela Novello, Personal Secretary to the Chief Counsel.[87]
- Robert E. Manuel, Assistant Counsel.[1]
- Walter Sheridan, Chief Investigator.[26][87]
- Paul Tierney, investigator.[21]
- LaVern J. Duffy, investigator.[1]
- Richard G. Sinclair, investigator.[1]
- James F. Mundie, investigator.[1]
- John T. Thiede, investigator.[1]
- Ruth Y. Watt, Chief Clerk.[1]
- Kenneth O'Donnell, administrative assistant.[25][26][87]
- Pierre Salinger, investigator.[25][26][21]
- John Seigenthaler, investigator.[26]
- Edwin Guthman, investigator.[26]

Paramount Confirms More 'Paranormal Activity' is Coming This Year
by Ethan Anderton
January 2, 2012
After three films, a franchise usually starts to lose its flare, but that seems to be even more true in the horror genre. However, after three installments, I have to say that I've been pleasantly surprised by the terror and surprises from Paranormal Activity. The reverse engineered story from the initial low budget horror film from 2009 has unfolded with great success including the most recent sequel pulling in just over $200 million worldwide with only a $5 million budget. That kind of box office boom pretty much guaranteed a new sequel, and Paramount has confirmed that fact in a press release on the studio's 2012 releases.
Mostly the studio just hypes their forthcoming releases like World War Z, The Dictator and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, but there's also a blurb (via Collider) that confirms a fourth Paranormal Activity film that will arrive before the end of the year: "In 2012, Paramount's release slate highlights include World War Z, a zombie thriller starring Brad Pitt and directed by Marc Forster, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the next installment in the global franchise starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Channing Tatum, a new chapter in the Paranormal Activity franchise, and The Dictator, starring Sacha Baron Cohen and directed by Larry Charles, the team behind Borat. While there's no word on who will write or direct the series, it will likely hit theaters again in October, so get ready to be spooked again.

[ Features Index | Silicon Valley | Metroactive Home | Archives ]
By Annalee Newitz
YOU KNOW what the problem is? We're trapped in one of those alternate universes where the South won the Civil War or dinosaurs evolved to be cunning, ruthless dictators. There's no other explanation.
Le Tigre signed to a major label, which means I can't boycott the RIAA and buy the band's album at the same time. But I can't rip its CD because it's Le Tigre, and that just feels wrongeven though I know rationally that the best way for me to support my favorite queer-pop band at this point is by buying tickets to its concerts. Le Tigre is never going to see another cent from record sales now that it's on Universal. Why, oh why, Kathleen Hanna? What happened to the fierce grrl from Bikini Kill who screamed, "Suck my left one," when capitalist patriarchy came calling?
Look, I know Le Tigre deserves a big cash injection and that lead singer Hanna has been a dedicated champion of underground culture for almost a decade and a half. I don't actually believe that there is anything wrong with selling out if it will help liberate an artist from a crappy day job or give her access to better resources. And yetisn't there another way? As if to answer my question, Le Tigre released one song from its previous album, Feminist Sweepstakesbrought to you by indie label Mr. Ladyon Wired magazine's sampler CD of music released under Creative Commons licenses that allow you to sample and share. It's a nice gesture, but it would have been much cooler if the band could have negotiated with Universal to get its latest album under a Creative Commons license instead. Then I could have bought the damn CD and not felt like my money was paying for some record company exec to have really nice brunches every morning to infinity.
Speaking of executives whose brunches are paid for by feminist pop culture, it seems that the world of video gamesbuoyed by an industry whose bulk and size exceeds RIAA bosses' fondest wet dreamshas finally given birth to a gamer geek version of the Spice Girls. The Fragdolls (www.fragdolls.com) are a group of ridiculously hot young women who are paid by video game megacorp Ubisoft to attend game competitions and conferences and look sexy while beating boys at Xbox games. Their creepily slick websitewhich has a tiny "sponsored by Ubisoft" caveat at the bottomis full of breathy blog entries from the Fragdolls that read like a cross between come-hither flirtation and advertising for their favorite (i.e., Ubisoft) games. Of course, each girl has a nickname that is somehow phenotypically appropriate: the Asian girl is called Seppuku, the tall blonde chick is Valkyrie and a redhead is named Rhoulette.
Would real gamer girls name themselves after their own physical attributes? Unlikely. These babes are spokesmodels who masquerade as girl-geek pioneers. As gamer Emily Jane put it on BoingBoing.net recently, "While [the Fragdolls] try to adopt 'Just a bunch of girls that like video games' as their image, walking around [gamer convention Penny Arcade Expo] and hearing 'PLAY VIDEO GAMES AGAINST HOT CHICKS!!!' all day definitely reduced the fun of this girl that likes video games. ... The willingness of these girls to be the circus and make girls playing video games seem even LESS normal, totally contradicts what they claim they are all about."
I don't care if Ubisoft wants to sell video games using hot chicks. They would hardly be the first company to come up with that winning advertising strategy. What gets to me is the pretense that the Fragdollsas some PR flak wrote on their website"represent the ladies in gaming." They represent nothing but Ubisoft and the plastic surgery-fashion industrial complex.
What's truly weird about our universe is that women represent 51 percent of the population. This is the same "majority percentage" that the newly reelected President George W. Bush is citing as a mandate from the American people to push this country into the reactionary zone. When it comes to politics, we're supposed to believe that 51 percent of the vote represents some kind of massive majority. And yet if I told you that women are the "majority" of the population it would sound ludicrous. According to 2000 census figures, there are about 5.3 million more women than men in the United States. But does that represent a majority?
When we look out at our friends, neighbors and nation, we do not muse to ourselves, "Damn, America is a totally female country!" We're not. And neither are we a Republican country. We're pretty much half and half. It's just that some halves take all the power, while other halves do not.

Mexican Hottie |
Description: This scene has a sexy chiquita originally from south of the border. Haily Paige gets the big cock of Lee Stone for her anal scene, but she's not afraid. She sucks him as deep as she can to get him ready, and fucks him with her big naturals. He warms up her ass with his fingers, and eats her neatly trimmed box before pounding her pussy. He easily slides his chorizo in to her little asshole and pumps away in various positions, with Hailey cleaning his cock in between. When the guy is done gaping her asshole, he shoots his salsa on her pursed lips. |

The tournament's poster boy with the dyed-blonde fauxhawk fractured a vertebra in his back during Brazil's 2-1 quarter-final victory over Colombia on Friday. The injury has ruled the striker out of the rest of the competition, dealing a massive blow to the team's chances of finally winning a World Cup at home.
Brazil advanced to the semifinals for the first time in 12 years, with the goals coming from defenders Thiago Silva and David Luiz. But the jubilation was quickly tempered when Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said Neymar broke his third vertebrae and is expected to be out for several weeks, ruling him out of Tuesday's semifinal match against Germany in Belo Horizonte.
"It's a situation that leaves us in a difficult position for the match against Germany," Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said. "But we have great players and if I have to change something I will do it and we will be OK."
The 22-year-old Neymar has been the focal point of both the Brazilian team and the entire World Cup, and he lived up to expectations with four goals in the first three matches.
But he took a knee to the back late in the match against Colombia at the Arena Castelao in a collision with Juan Camilo Zuniga. The Brazilian star was crying in pain as he was carried off the field, and was taken to a private clinic. He has since been released.
"He will not be in condition to play, he will need a few weeks to be fit again," said Lasmar, the team doctor. "He is very, very sad."
The foul on Neymar came toward the end of one of the dirtiest games of the tournament as Brazil committed 31 fouls and Colombia had 23.
Brazil will also be without Silva for Tuesday's match against Germany. The captain must sit out after getting his second yellow card of the tournament after impeding Colombia goalkeeper David Ospina.
Brazil, which is trying to become the first host to win the World Cup since France in 1998, had been eliminated in the quarter-finals at the last two tournaments. The "Selecao" lost to the Netherlands in the quarter-finals in 2010 and to France in 2006 after winning its fifth title in 2002.
Back in 1950, Brazil needed only a draw in the final match to win the World Cup, but the team lost to Uruguay in a match known as the "Maracanazo."
This time around, Brazil won its group and then beat Chile on penalties in the second round.
On Friday against Colombia, Silva gave Brazil the lead in the seventh minute, scoring with his left knee after a corner from Neymar passed through the Colombian defence. He celebrated the goal by pointing to the emblem on his jersey and shouting, "This is Brazil, this is Brazil."
Luiz added the second from a free kick in the 69th, side-footing a long-range shot into the top of the net.
Colombia got one back in the 80th. James Rodriguez scored his tournament-leading sixth goal from the penalty spot after Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar brought down substitute Carlos Bacca inside the area.

We have just added a really enjoyable new rum at the Rum Bar, Vizcaya Cask 12, an intimate sipping rum from the Makers of Vizcaya Cask21 VXOP. This new addition to the Vizcaya family is of the same rich, high quality , but a bit lighter than the Vizcaya Cask 21VXOP. Made as like an Agricole from sugar cane instead of molasses and aged for 6 years in high quality oak barrels, the very meticulously blended rum boasts a very complex and rich aroma with a more subtle palate than the Cask 21. Still presenting very nice notes of cocoa, vanilla and maple, this new addition to the Vizcaya family has great potential as a sipping or a mixing rum.
This rum mixes well in many of the traditional rum classics and from some or my quick tries with other items looks like a candidate for a day or 2 in the rum lab for further development. It is my humble opinion that this rum is going to be a regular on the boat and at the Rum Bar for some time to come. Drop by and taste it at your leisure and maybe bring a fine cigar and lounge on the porch with snifter of Vizcaya Cask 12 and a fine cigar. ;o)

The deal doesn't kick in until 2013, though. So, you know, take this as you will. Here are three options on how to take it:
1. It's a huge victory for Netflix and a handy rejoinder against all the charges that Netflix isn't landing any big deals to improve selection. Granted, it doesn't kick in for a while but a deal's a deal and we can all watch Shrek. Plus, it's a victory for Netflix over HBO which had a similar deal that isn't being renewed.
2. Netflix paid $30 million for this package, getting fleeced in the process. Content providers have Netflix over a barrel and will force these huge prices. That's bleak news for users because it will mean higher prices and more freakouts from people without real problems to freak out over.
3. Eh. No big deal.

Gertrude Kingston
Gertrude Kingston (24 September 1862 – 7 November 1937) (born Gertrude Angela Kohnstamm) was an actress, an actor-manager and an artist.
Early life[edit]
Kingston was born in Islington in London, the daughter of merchant Heiman Kohnstamm and his wife, Teresina (née Friedmann). She was the sister of legal author and County Court judge Edwin Max Konstam (1870–1956), born as Edwin Max Kohnstamm. Kingston was privately educated and travelled extensively with her mother and governess. She studied painting in Berlin and Paris and later published three illustrated books.[1]
Her first theatrical experience was as a child, performing amateur impersonations of famous actors of the day such as Henry Irving and Sarah Bernhardt. Aged fifteen W. S. Gilbert selected her to play the lead in an amateur production of Broken Hearts. On her marriage in 1889 to Captain George Silver (1858/9–1899) of the East Surrey Regiment, Kingston decided to become a professional actress in order to support herself and her husband financially. Ellen Terry suggested that Kingston should enrol in the School of Acting run by actor-manager Sarah Thorne in Margate, and for whom she played Ophelia in Hamlet and Emilia in Othello.[1] At this time she also played Penelope in the English-language versions of The Tale of Troy and Clytemnestra in Aeschylus' Agamemnon.[2]
Theatrical career[edit]
In 1894 she appeared in The Charlatan at the Haymarket Theatre for Robert Buchanan.[3] Joining the company of Herbert Beerbohm Tree she played Mrs Harkaway in Partners, following which she became in great demand on the London stage, going on to appear as Clara Dexter in The Woodbarrow, which she also produced, and Mrs Graves in A Matchmaker, which she wrote with Clotilde Graves. The latter play gained a certain notoriety when it was criticized for comparing marriage to prostitution.[1]
On the death of her husband in 1899, just before the start of the Boer War, Kingston raised subscriptions to open a nursing hut for British troops in South Africa; some accounts of her life claim that she went to South Africa herself and worked in her hospital as a nurse, a claim not substantiated in her autobiography, in which she wrote that she was persuaded not to go.[1][4] She remained active in the theatre over the next decade; in 1905 at the Royal Court Theatre she played Helen in the tragedy The Trojan Women by Euripides, and Aurora Bompas in Bernard Shaw's How He Lied to Her Husband opposite Harley Granville-Barker.[5] Also in 1905 her portrait in charcoal was executed by John Singer Sargent.
In 1910 she became the lessee and actor-manager of the Little Theatre in the Adelphi in London. Her opening season was inspired by the Royal Court Theatre's introduction of serious and classical drama to a commercial audience, and therefore she opened with Aristophanes' Lysistrata, in which she played the title role.[2] In 1911 Lillah McCarthy took over the lease of the Little Theatre, and Kingston returned to that theatre under McCarthy's management to play Madame Arcadina in The Seagull. Also in 1912 Kingston played Lady Cecily Waynflete in Captain Brassbound's Conversion. Then in 1913 George Bernard Shaw wrote the title role in his play Great Catherine for her.[1][6]
Later years[edit]
Kingston was in the United States for much of World War I where she gave talks about the war effort in Britain. In Boston she appeared in three plays by Shaw, including Great Catherine. In 1916 she appeared with her own theatrical company in The Queen's Enemies, and in four plays by Shaw: The Inca of Perusalem, Great Catherine, Overruled and How He Lied to Her Husband,[7] and played Ermyntrude in Shaw's The Inca of Perusalem with the Pioneer Players, the Women's suffrage theatre company; for some years she had been a speaker on behalf of the suffrage movement in Britain.
After World War I Kingston returned to Britain where she resumed her acting career, also becoming a regular speaker for the Conservative Party. In 1924 she considered standing for Parliament. She taught public speaking and became a journalist, writing on a variety of subjects. In 1927 an exhibition of her lacquer work was held in New York, her technique becoming known as 'Kingston lacquer'. Also in 1927 Kingston produced and appeared in Nevertheless in London. Her final performance was as Elizabeth I in When Essex Died in 1932. In 1937 her autobiography Curtsey While You're Thinking was published.
Gertrude Kingston died at the Empire Nursing Home in Westminster in London in 1937 aged 75.[8]

Things you don't want to hear a toddler say....
(278 Posts)I'll start with "Oh dear, poo all over the place" [sigh]
Though this is closely rivalled by Nothing At All aka completeanduttersilence
"I'm being Taran!" isn't great when they are in the furthest corner of the soft play climbing area and, as any experienced parent knows, Tarzan wears just pants.
Is it morning yet?
"I need a poo" swiftly followed by "can someone come and wipe my bottom"...at 5.30 in the morning. EVERY morning
"Mummy, I open door" < starts unlocking public toilet cubicle >
"Nooooo!" < Me, grabbing toddler whilst pushing door too and attempting to hide modesty >
Naked toddler somewhere upstairs: "Mummy I done a wee."
Me in bathroom unable to see her: "Really? Where are you?"
"Mummy bed."
'Muuummmm, I've done an accident'.
"Mummy I done wee wee"
Never good as when he tells me he's usually not anywhere near the bathroom. Sigh.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
"my nails look beautiful- all red"
Out in the garden 'Mummy I bring you a pwesent'. Hands me a slug...
While in B&Q with inattentive parents 'I needed a poo but it's ok, I found toilet all by my own'.
mines only 10mo..
"Mummy look, drawn heart!"
That was a toddler DD1 who, very proudly, pointed to the sofa. To be fair, it was a very good drawing of a heart considering she was only about 20 months at the time. I just wished it had been on paper!
'Mummy, I look like a beautiful butterfly'
He only ever does that with the really posh, expensive make up my sister got me for christmas, not the cheap everyday stuff <sigh>
Another poo one.
Standing in a large queue waiting to get on the plane at Singapore airport 'mummy I need a poo'. Everyone laughs. Dd finds it funny, says it again over and over like a parrot but even louder
'Bye bye Thomas' - in reference to her most precious and beloved Thomas The Tank Engine, which whistles and beeps and chugs, most favoured toy of all time, and who gets told 'Love you, Thomas' and is regularly kissed good night - seconds before he was thrown two storeys through the upstairs bannister, all the way into the concrete cellar.
The fucker survived. With a stutter, but who can blame him?
"What's that smell?"
Loudly. On entering other peoples houses, public toilets, walking past a whiffy person in supermarket etc.
Mummy, you're not going to like this...
I'm stuck! (Usually on a worktop after going in search of sweets)
"Oooh loooook, that's a nice knife"
"Ooooh. Incy bincy!" (spider) "BIG Incy Bincy" pointing happily to an area about 2 inches above my head...
Poo on foot mummy!
I've done a poo in my leggings mummy
Oh no I broken it
Oh no a mess gone everywhere
Mummy, mummy I did a poo on my potty
.....but I've lost it.

Fiscal Policy and Productivity Growth in the OECD
We use a simple endogenous growth model with productive public capital to investigate the degree to which observed fiscal policies in eight OECD countries can account for slowdowns in the growth rates of aggregate labor productivity since 1970. In model simulations, we find that none of the observed public capital policies can generate slowdowns of sufficient magnitude to match those in the data. For most countries in our sample, a simulation that combines the observed public capital policy with the observed tax policy does a better job of accounting for the slowdown than either policy in isolation.

Predicting NFC Wild Cards (CBSSportsline)
Predicting NFC wild cards as easy as pulling teeth
Dec. 7, 2006 By Clark Judge CBS SportsLine.com Senior Writer Someone recently asked me which NFC teams I liked as wild-card entries for the playoffs and, after pausing a moment, I asked him if it mattered. The answer is no, it doesn't. There are four bona fide playoff clubs in the NFC, and they are Chicago, Dallas, Seattle and New Orleans. Period. That doesn't mean someone can't emerge from the pack in the last couple of weeks, but tell me which of these 6-6 teams you like to catch fire. The Giants? They've lost four straight. Carolina? It's in the middle of a two-game slide. Atlanta? It just broke a four-game skid by beating Washington. Yeah, I know, big deal. Well, in the NFC it is. And what about Philadelphia? It was supposed to be toast. Then it overcame Carolina for its second win in seven games. Those are your choices, people. I don't know what to make of them, either, but I'm going to give it a shot..... New York Giants The good: Tiki Barber continues to carry this club. His career might be winding down, but Barber isn't. His 1,564 yards rank fourth in the league and comprise 38.6 percent of the team's offense. Barber typically gains strength as the year goes on (six of his eight 100-yard efforts last season were in the second-half) which means it's his time to take over. Quarterback Eli Manning showed signs of emerging from a slump against Dallas, and I'm not talking about his two touchdowns and no interceptions; I'm talking about that last scoring drive when he led the Giants 63 yards in 2:27 and was 6-for-6 passing. The bad: The Giants are in the midst of a four-game losing streak, and while last weekend's effort against Dallas was their best in awhile, a loss is a loss is a loss. There's always the possibility that the bottom falls out, proving that last weekend's game was the final gasp of a dying patient. I don't see it that way, but check for a pulse Sunday against Carolina. The ugly: Inconsistency reigns on the field; chaos reigns off it. One week the Giants forfeit a 21-point fourth-quarter lead; the next they're committing dumb personal fouls. And that's a problem. In fact, the Giants' 708 yards in penalties are the fourth-highest in the league, and that's not what I'd call discipline, Tom Coughlin. The team's locker room outbursts gain more attention than they probably deserve, but they're symptoms of a larger headache: Coughlin may have lost control of his team. The prognosis: Good. The Giants have too much talent to die. They played well against a surging Dallas team last weekend and are getting players healthy when they need them most. The only winning opponent on their schedule, New Orleans, will be faced at home on Christmas Eve. That's a break. If Manning can continue to minimize his mistakes, and the club shows a little discipline the Giants should make it. Story continues.... http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9855587/2 8) |

RE: Predicting NFC Wild Cards (CBSSportsline)
I'm thinking it's going to be Carolina and the G-Men. I would say the Eagles over the Giants, but I just don't think Jeff Garcia can get it done anymore, especially with such a weak receiving corps.
