Look Mom, I'm on TV! Jim Maurice and Myself Make it on the Kardashian Wedding Special
Whether you're a fan of Kim Kardashian or not I am willing to bet you knew she married Kris Humphries (from Minnesota) a couple months ago, it was pretty hard to miss. E!, the entertainment channel that airs 'Keeping up with the Kardashian's' also aired a two-part special Sunday and Monday night called 'Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event' which is where our morning news man Jim Maurice and myself got our fifteen seconds of fame. Find out how we made it on the television event of the year on the next page!
In part 2 of 'Kim's Fairytale Wedding' that aired last night on E! they featured St. Cloud because Kris Humphries puts on a basketball camp for the kids at The Boys and Girls Club every year, and Kim came along. Jim and I were there to interview Kris about the camp and it just so happened the E! cameras were there to catch it all on camera.
Kris's grandparents still reside in St. Cloud, his mother grew up here but now lives in the cities, which is where Kris grew up. It was a lot of fun to see Kris involved with this community, but I'm not going to lie, it was just as much fun standing next to Kim the whole time!

Are you following the Democratic National Convention?
Hey there! Have you been watching the Democratic National Convention? I have! No matter who you're rooting for in this presidential election, it's interesting to see politics come alive like they have been for the last few nights. Plus, this is such a historic convention with Barack Obama becoming the first African American to lead a major party ticket. I'm really looking forward to seeing him speak tonight!
Michelle Obama's keynote speech earlier this week was also really inspiring. I thought she did a great job!

The Takeaway
Bhopal 25 Years Later: Still Seeking Justice
On Dec. 3, 1984, 40 tons of poisonous gases escaped the Union Carbide factory in Bhopal, India. Thousands of people died. The Union Carbide factory is now abandoned and Union Carbide a subsidiary of chemical giant Dow, but the leak's effects on Bhopal still linger in contaminated water supplies and the chronic illnesses of survivors. BBC correspondent Allan Little returned to the Indian city on the 25th anniversary of the disaster and talked to residents still looking for justice.

From Beyonce to J.K. Rowling, see more notables who have been called copycats.The Daily Beast06.22.12 6:02 PM ETGetty Images (3); Nick Cunard / Rex (bottom left)Getty Images (3); Nick Cunard / Rex (bottom left)Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Bob Dylan & More Stars Accused of Plagiarism (PHOTOS)Rap mogul Jay-Z has been accused of plagiarizing parts of his 2010 memoir, 'Decoded.' From Bob Dylan and Lady Gaga to Joe Biden and J.K. Rowling, see more notables who have been called copy cats. Astrid Stawiarz / Getty ImagesJay-ZHe's got 99 problems and plagiarism's one. Rapper Jay-Z has been accused of plagiarizing parts of his 2010 memoir, Decoded, by a man named Patrick White, who claims that in 2009, his personal computer was compromised and "various expressions/colors/phrases" from his work then showed up in the 42-year-old rap mogul's memoir. White alleges he attempted to contact Jay-Z (whom he references as the "co-author" in a lawsuit filed June 13 in Los Angeles) but to no avail. He is seeking unspecified damages for copyright infringement and invasion of property. Nick Cunard / RexJonah LehrerIn an odd twist on the traditional plagiarism story, New Yorker writer Jonah Lehrer recently was revealed to have recycled portions of his own writing in publications including The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal and The New Yorker. Lehrer also apparently has copied portions of other writers' work too, most notably New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell. Christopher Polk / Getty ImagesBob DylanBob Dylan's folk hits have long been heavily influenced by his musical predecessors, but that's not the borrowing that got him in trouble last September. For his Gagosian show, the folk icon was accused of basing his paintings directly on photographs by artists such as Cartier-Bresson. Comparing Dylan's paintings with his sources makes the similarities obvious, but many, including other artists, argued that certain kinds of paintings have long been based on photographs and that Dylan's offense was nothing out of the ordinary. ChinaFotoPress / Getty ImagesLady GagaUpon listening to both Lady Gaga's 2011 song "Born This Way" and Madonna's 1989 hit "Express Yourself," the similarities are immediately striking. That's what listeners piped up about last year, when Lady Gaga first released the single—though at first, the singer insisted she had the Queen of Pop's blessing for using her tunes: "I got an e-mail from her people and her, sending me their love and complete support on behalf of the single and if the queen says it shall be, then it shall be," she said last February. After reports of plagiarism refused to go away however, Gaga defended herself more aggressively. "If you put the songs next to each other, side by side, the only similarities are the chord progression," she told NME. "It's the same one that's been in disco music for the last 50 years. Just because I'm the first fucking artist in 25 years to think of putting it on Top 40 radio, it doesn't mean I'm a plagiarist, it means I'm fucking smart. Sorry." Madonna herself made her thoughts on the matter known last month during a concert at Tel Aviv, where she performed a mashup of "Express Yourself" and "Born This Way" that highlighted the two songs' similarities. Jim Cole / AP PhotoJoe BidenBefore he was President Obama's VP, Joe Biden was forced to stand down from his own presidential run in 1988, when reports surfaced that his law school career had been marred by an instance of plagiarism in his first year, when he copied portions of a law review article in his paper. Biden also was plagued with another copycat controversy when it came out that he allegedly had used material from others' speeches without attribution. Biden called the controversy at the time "much ado over nothing" and insisted that he had copied without "malevolent" intent. AP PhotoGeorge HarrisonGeorge Harrison's iconic 1971 song "My Sweet Lord" sounded a little too much like the Chiffons' 1962 hit, "He's So Fine," according to the Chiffons and their songwriter, Ronnie Mack. A prolonged lawsuit filed by the Chiffons against Harrison eventually found that Harrison had only "subconsciously" copied the 1962 hit and he was ordered to pay $587,000 for the rights to "He's So Fine." Amanda Edwards / Getty ImagesJames CameronWhen promoting his blockbuster hit Avatar, director James Cameron was open about his influences: Rudyard Kipling, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Dances With Wolves were all cited by the director as influences. But one possible source material that Cameron did not mention was the 1957 Poul Anderson novella, Call Me Joe. The synopsis for the novella is as follows: "Call Me Joe centers on a paraplegic—Ed Anglesy—who telepathically connects with an artificially created life form in order to explore a harsh planet (in this case Jupiter). Anglesy revels in the freedom and strength of his artificially created body, battles predators on the surface of Jupiter, and gradually goes native as he spends more time connected to his artificial body." Sound familiar? BeyonceJay-Z's not the only one in the family to have been accused of plagiarism—his wife, Beyonce, was accused of stealing another dancer's moves for the video for her hit, "Countdown." Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker reportedly told Belgian radio station Studio Brussel that the singer's video amounted to "plagiarism." A YouTube video that splices the two dances makes the similarities clear for any doubters. In a statement addressing the controversy, Beyonce acknowledged that De Keersmaeker's ballet "Rosas danst Rosas" was "one of many references" for "Countdown," along with Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face, Brigitte Bardot, Andy Warhol, Twiggy, and Diana Ross. AP PhotoMartin Luther King, Jr.Even one of the foremost leaders of peace and tolerance in the 20th century wasn't immune to charges of plagiarism. Theories have abounded that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. copied portions of his academic papers, speeches, and other works from other authors and in 1991, a panel of Boston University scholars concluded that Dr. King had indeed plagiarized passages of his dissertation at the university in 1955. AP PhotoAlex HaleyAlex Haley, renowned author of the book Roots, which he purported to be a monumental family history stretching back to 18th-century Africa, was largely discredited when it turned out that the book was a historical hoax. Roots' plot, main character, and entire passages were taken from 1967's The African, by Hal Courlander. David Cheskin, AFP / Getty ImagesJ.K. RowlingThe creator of the world's favorite boy wizard faced a lawsuit last year, when the estate of deceased children's author Adrian Jacobs alleged that Rowling had plagiarized parts of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire from his 1987 book, Willy the Wizard. Among the ideas that the Jacobs family alleged were stolen were the notions of a wizard competition and the notion of wizards traveling by train. However, the case was dropped after a New York district judge ruled that "the contrast between the total concept and feel of the works [was] so stark" that "any serious comparison of the two strains credulity."

The first sign for that was the price action during the day, yesterday. The market opened higher and prices continued to rise until about noon time when they reversed course and started moving on a downtrend. There are corroborating signs like the fact that yields continue to fall despite the bounce in equities and eurusd has not followed.
On the daily QQQ chart above I note the following:
1. Yesterdays pin bar, i.e. a price bar with an open and close near the low.
2. The gap that is part of the island formation I talked in a recent post and is an open one. I said in the post that "this pattern alone does not guarantee easy money".
3. The divergence between RSI(14) and MEI(14), one of my proprietary indicator. This is the second divergence in a period of 3 days.
4. The massive reversal from yesterday in the sign and magnitude of P-delta values of the p-indicator for both QQQ and SPY:
For details about the meaning of the p-indicator numbers click here.
All of the above point to a resumption of the short-term correction that started in early April and stalled last week. However, these are just technical signs and may lose their significance immediately in the face of a good piece of fundamental news. The market moves are fueled by fundamentals mainly because this is what value investors consider in their decision process. Technical traders should always remember that technical signals do not constitute a primary phenomenon but only an epiphenomenon, in the sense of modern analysis of phenomena, i.e. a secondary phenomenon that moves in parallel with the primary phenomenon and usually does not involve causality. The true causality lies in the fundamentals. This is also one of the main reasons that technical traders as a group always have mean returns much lower than those of the group of value investors.

Make your voice heard TODAY!
Take a stand TODAY!
Please join fellow Patriots and sign The Right of the People
... shall not be infringed (see text below) affirming the Second
Amendment's individual "right of the People to keep and bear arms."
To sign this petition online, link to --
Patriot Petitions - The Right of the People ... shall not be infringed

(Please forward this invitation to Patriot family members, friends
and associates. In order to encourage serious consideration
of this critical issue, we must collect in excess of 100,000
The Right of the People ... shall not be infringed
To President George Bush, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and
Republican Leader John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell:
We, the people of these United States, rightfully petition our
President, House of Representatives and Senate in affirmation
of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution,
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a
free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall
not be infringed."
We affirm that said Amendment was established to define an
individual "right of the People to keep and bear arms," and that
there is no more important constitutional issue than that of
defending the plain language and original intent of the Second
Amendment (Mark Alexander - On the Second Amendment ).
The newly-emboldened Democrat Party, with Barack Hussein Obama
(Mark Alexander - No ObamaNation Part 1: Barack who? ) leading
the charge, is once again attempting to redefine the Second
Amendment as a collective right only, as outlined on the ACLU's
(The Patriot Shop -- ACLU, Enemy of the State )
website under "Gun Control": "We believe that the constitutional
right to bear arms is primarily a collective one, intended mainly
to protect the right of the states to maintain militias. ... The
ACLU therefore believes that the Second Amendment does not confer
an unlimited right upon individuals to own guns."
Justice Joseph Story, appointed to the Supreme Court by our
Constitution's principal author, James Madison, wrote in his
"Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States" (1833),
"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been
considered, as the palladium of the liberties of the republic;
since it offers a strong moral check against usurpation and
arbitrary power of the rulers; and will generally, even if these
are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist
and triumph over them."
Indeed, the Second Amendment is "the palladium of the liberties
of the republic," and those who fail to support it as such, and
reject detractors like Obama, do so at great peril to themselves
and the liberty of future generations of Americans.
Accordingly, we, the undersigned, declare that gun ownership
is not only an individual right, but a duty and obligation of
all Patriots.

Works great with my SD cards 02/24/2014
This review is from: Tek Republic TUC-300 USB 3.0 Supports SD, SDHC, SDXC, Micro SD (t-Flash), MS, MS Pro, MS Duo, MS Pro Duo, and MSXC. 12-in-1 Card Reader
Works just fine with my SD cards. I currently only have USB 2.0 on my computer, but this reader doesn't mind.
The attachment cord could be a bit longer - at least long enough so when I plug it in to a port on the front of my desktop, I can lay the unit on top of the tower.
Other Thoughts:
I bought this on a Newegg daily deal and it works well for the $'s I spent. I don't have any other memory cards other than SD, so I can't really speak to how well those work.
Did you find this review helpful? Yes / No Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Friendly staff, decent restaurant, nice view of the mountain s Had a room heater, but rest of the hotel was cold. Free internet didn't work for the most part of our stay. Shelf in shower was broken. Average cleanliness in the room. Entrance was not convenient (had to climb many steps from the road).
My girlfriend and I stayed here for three nights. The bed was the most comfortable one I've stayed on in south Asia. It was chilly and there was a huge comforter and thick thermal blanket over a soft foam mattress. Great views from the room, Central location walking distance from everything important in Darjeeling. They also painlessly arranged a taxi back to Bagdogra.

Droids that might have once been found roaming the moisture farms of the fictional Star Wars world of Tatooine are now available in Disney Parks locations thanks in part to a merchandise developer with Owen County ties.
Cody Hampton, 33, has been involved with developing Star Wars and other Disney merchandise since 2007. Cody, along with a project team of artists, technical design engineers and others recently rolled out a limited release boxed set of four droid action figures inspired by characters from the animated release, "Star Wars: The Clone Wars."
N-H Correspondent
Paul and Lisa Spencer of Pine Ridge, Kentucky, announce the upcoming wedding of daughter, Cassie Spencer to Clayton Wilson, son of Curnie and Muriel Wilson of Glencoe, Kentucky.
Cassie is a 2017 graduate of Morehead State University and is currently a Special Education teacher at Owen County High School.
Clayton is a 2015 graduate of Morehead State University and is currently employed by Farm Credit Mid-America.
The ceremony will be held June 24. The couple will make their home in Owen County.
Lifelong Owenton resident Shelby Carter inherited her business flair working alongside family at the Smith House Restaurant. Today, Carter has taken her know-how to the next level with her newly-opened business, Bell's Boutique.
Located on South Main Street in Owenton, Bell's Boutique officially opened its doors June 3, to a parking lot full of waiting customers.
"This is a dream come true," 32-year-old Carter said. "I had this dream several years ago, and it has finally become a reality, so that's awesome."
For a few hours this Saturday, downtown Owenton will be transformed into the little town of Mayberry, the fictitious community made famous in the television sitcom "The Andy Griffith Show."
While the show was canceled nearly 50 years ago, reruns of the popular series continue to make new fans of the show and endure to those who remember it in its original run.
On May 13, 2017, Courtney Carol Waldrop graduated from Eastern Kentucky University, earning her Bachelor's of Science degree in Biology pre-med. She completed her last semester being named to the President's List for a perfect grade point average. Courtney will be attending the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy this fall. She is the daughter of Kevin and Trudy Waldrop.
The scenery on Highway 22 East has recently seen drastic changes due to the demolition of the former Owen County Elementary School.
The facility is currently being demolished by a construction company based out of Lexington to make way for renovations to the Owen County Lower Elementary School, which houses students in kindergarten through second grade.
The demolition is nearly 70 percent complete, according to Owen County School Superintendent Rob Stafford.
The sky was bright and sunny Friday — a perfect day for a grand opening of a newly renovated brick building.
Within this building is Triad Health Systems, Inc., a company striving to provide medical services to the counties that it inhabits, mainly focusing on providing services to those who are uninsured or underinsured.
Following months of discussion, the Owen County Fiscal Court approved an ordinance for fee-pooling at the Owen County Sheriff's Office.
Under a fee-pooling system, the operating budget for the sheriff's department will be run through the county treasurer in the judge- executive's office.
Trimble County native Elisabeth Moore became the newest addition to the News-Herald's staff June 7.
Moore will serve as a reporter for the newspaper.
She is a 2017 graduate of Western Kentucky University, where she received a bachelor's degree in English with a minor in journalism.
While attending WKU, Moore served as a reporter for the campus newspaper, the College Heights Herald.
The 22-year-old initially became interested in journalism after changing her college major to English during her junior year.

While woodstoves can be used in Illinois, the type of materials that may be burned as a fuel and the manner in which such stoves may be operated are limited to the fuels and maintenance procedures specified by the manufacturer of the stove. Local governments have the authority to adopt ordinances limiting or prohibiting this type of activity.
Homeowners have a duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. In general, a property owner is not obligated to remove a natural accumulation of snow and ice; voluntarily undertaking its removal can leave the owner subject to liability if the removal leads to a slip-and-fall accident. However, some towns do have an ordinance requiring landowners to remove ice and snow from public sidewalks in front of their property. Check with your local municipality about the laws in your area.
Legal advice is most helpful before you make the commitment to buy a home. As a buyer, you'll want an attorney lined up before you make an offer and, certainly, before you sign an offer to purchase. If you are a seller, you'll want to consult an attorney early in the process and before signing a listing agreement with a real estate agent.

About the Chefs:
Samuel Monsour's passion for food started early. Originally from New York, his family moved to Chapel Hill, NC when Samuel was young. Here, he spent his childhood cooking alongside his father in his parents' restaurant and fell in love with Southern cuisine. By age 17, he was the head cook, and the restaurant's menu had heavy New Orleans influence. Samuel went on to attend the Culinary Institute of America in New York and graduated in 2005 with an A.O.S. in Culinary Arts and a B.P.S. in Hospitality Management. After four years spent cooking throughout the Hudson Valley followed by an 18 month culinary expedition, he landed in Boston. Most recently, Samuel was the Executive Chef at jm Curley.
Mark O'Leary grew up in a small town just outside of Boston. His passion for food began as a young child, watching his grandmother make homemade sausages, pickles, and condiments. Mark also helped his grandfather in the family garden, further reinforcing his respect for food and where it comes from. Mark began cooking professionally at age 17. He worked his way up through some of Boston's best restaurants, including il Casale in Belmont, O Ya restaurant in the Leather District, and jm Curley in Downtown Crossing.

I am wondering, is there an application implemented in BT4 prefinal that can visualize the routers and switches in my network? Like who is connected to which port.
If there is not, can anyone recommend me a programm?
Nmap can't tell you where clients are connected, what switch ports and the like. There is another tool which has escaped me, it has a terrible interface but it does pretty damned well where I've implemented it. If someone can remember it, I know it's been mentioned... hangon. Netdisco
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.

I am a 20-year-old woman with "tubular" breasts and implants seem to be the only way to correct this deformity. I am comfortable having the surgery, but am concerned about everything I've been reading online about having to have the breast implants removed.
I have read that the saline implants only last up to ten years. Is this accurate? If I have the procedure done now, will I be looking at another surgery around the same cost in the next ten years or less?

I am having a superbowl party at my house this Sunday. You are all invited, but you need to tell me what sort of food you will be bringing.
I am making a hot chicken buffalo dip, which has shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, hot wing sauce, blue cheese dressing, and cream cheese. Cook the chicken first, shred, and then add in all other ingredients, bake in oven at 350 until it is all melted and bubbly, and serve with either chunks of italian bread, or tortilla chips. ummmm, good.
Let me know who will be attending.

"Media Matters"; by Jamison Foser
Following last month's release of "If It's Sunday, It's Conservative," a comprehensive study of guests on the three major Sunday shows over the last nine years, Media Matters for America unveiled this week an analysis of guests on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews for the first two months of 2006 -- the first in a series of studies of the guest lists of cable news programs.
| This Week:
Matthews's Hardball lineup short on southpaws [1]
Media declare port deal controversy over; continue to ignore years of Democratic efforts to secure America's ports [2]
Time for the Times to "take a stand" [4]
Matthews's Hardball lineup short on southpaws
Following last month's release [6] of "If It's Sunday, It's Conservative [7]," a comprehensive study of guests on the three major Sunday shows over the last nine years, Media Matters for America unveiled this week an analysis of guests [8] on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews for the first two months of 2006 -- the first in a series of studies of the guest lists of cable news programs.
Media Matters found that, like the Sunday shows, Hardball features Republicans and conservatives significantly more often than Democrats and progressives:
Media Matters tallied all guests who appeared on Hardball during the first two months of 2006 and coded them based on party affiliation and ideology. (A list of the guests is here [9].) The data reflected in these charts show that the number of Republican/conservative guests has been significantly higher than the number of Democratic/progressive guests. In January, Republicans/conservatives led Democrats/progressives 55 to 38 -- a difference of 59 percent to 41 percent. By February, that advantage had increased: Republican/conservatives outnumbered Democrats/progressives 55 to 34, or 62 percent to 38 percent.
In addition, conservative journalists and pundits outnumbered progressive journalists and pundits by a considerable margin. While most journalists/pundits were neutral reporters or consistently presented a centrist point of view, the data show that those who spoke from an ideological perspective were conservative far more often than progressive. Conservatives in this category outnumbered progressives 42 to 13 -- a ratio of more than 3-to-1.
Hardball panels frequently demonstrate an ideological imbalance; when they do, that imbalance usually tilts to the right. While the majority of panels were balanced, the number of right-tilted panels was significantly greater than the number of left-tilted panels, at a ratio of nearly 3-to-1. During January and February, 22 panels tilted right, while only eight panels tilted left. This can largely be attributed to the presence of frequent panelists -- and conservative MSNBC hosts -- Tucker Carlson of The Situation with Tucker Carlson and former Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-FL) of Scarborough Country. Both MSNBC hosts are given prominence on Hardball's journalist panels without a progressive to counter with an opposing point of view.
Guest lists don't tell the whole story about Hardball, of course. Conservative media critics argue, as Media Matters has noted, that Matthews himself is a liberal:
For example, in January 2006, Don Irvine, chairman of the conservative Accuracy in Media, described [10] Matthews as "[o]ne member of the liberal media"; in April 2005, L. Brent Bozell III, founder and president of the conservative Media Research Center, suggested [11] that Matthews rename Hardball to Cuddles with Chris for the show's "liberal or radical guests."
Are Bozell and Irvine correct? Is Matthews a "liberal"? We don't know, but he sure doesn't act like one. His gushing praise [12] of President Bush ("Sometimes it glimmers with this man, our president, that kind of sunny nobility") and vicious lies [13] about Democrats helped convince Media Matters to name him 2005's Misinformer of the Year [14].
And those conservative guests Matthews features so often on Hardball -- how does he treat them? Here are a few examples:
Matthews to White House deputy press secretary Trent Duffy [15]: "See how much we get done when you come over here? Isn't this great? ... I wish we had you every night. It's great to have you, Trent, deputy press secretary to the president of the United States."
Matthews to House Republican Leader John Boehner [16]: "I am very much proud of anybody who takes on a job like you have taken on. It's so great. ... We'll be right back with House Majority Leader John Boehner. You can see this man's greatness."
Matthews to New York Republican Senate candidate KT McFarland [16]: "You're a delightful candidate, you'll probably do very well in this uphill battle as the underdog."
Matthews on Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) [17]: "We'll get the straight talk from Senator McCain himself in just a moment, but one of the lessons here might be: Don't mess with John McCain."
Vaughn Ververs, editor of CBS News' Public Eye weblog, responded [18] to Media Matters' analysis of Hardball guests, arguing -- as he did after our Sunday show report -- that the ideological leanings and partisan affiliations of guests is irrelevant; that what matters is what the guests "actually had to say."
But Ververs not only seems to wildly overestimate the frequency with which Republican and conservative guests take progressive positions, he also ignores a key point: The significance of television news guest lists isn't just about which positions get articulated. It's also about which politicians, advocates, and leaders benefit from the exposure a national news program provides. The fact that John McCain has appeared on the Sunday shows 124 times in the last nine years [6] -- 50 percent more often than anybody else -- doesn't just mean that his conservative views have been expressed 124 times. It also means that he has been given a platform from which he can appeal to voters; he has been elevated as a national leader.
People often complain that they're sick of the Republicans and conservatives who have blundered and lied their way into an unpopular war, record deficits, and a growing health care crisis -- but that they don't see viable progressive or Democratic leaders emerging to offer an alternative. But that is, in part, because progressive leaders aren't given the platform that McCain is given. Surely Joe Conason [19] and David Corn [20] have as many interesting and important things to say as John Fund [21] and Bill Kristol [22] -- but they aren't on television as much.
Aside from quadrennial national political conventions, shows like Meet the Press and Hardball and Face the Nation are where emerging leaders are seen by the most viewers. It's where they have the greatest chance to win support for their ideas, their agendas, their candidacies. When those shows book significantly more Republicans and conservatives than Democrats and progressives, it has an obvious effect on policy, on politics, and on elections -- an effect that isn't offset by the fact that, every once in a while, Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) may criticize President Bush.
Media declare port deal controversy over; continue to ignore years of Democratic efforts to secure America's ports
Now that Dubai Ports World (DPW) will apparently not take control over operations at U.S. ports, the media have been quick to declare the controversy over, announcing that Republicans have averted a political disaster by "standing against the port deal." The Washington Post assessed [23] the political fallout:
But it's not clear whether Democrats will be able to turn that issue to their benefit in the fall. Republicans on Capitol Hill were every bit as vocal as their opponents in standing against the port deal, making it harder to draw a clear distinction come campaign time. By turning against Bush, some GOP strategists believe Republican leaders may have saved themselves a worse fate.
But the Post's assessment ignores the fact that there are many more questions about the security at America's ports -- questions that don't go away just because DPW is out of the picture. Congressional Democrats and others have argued for years [24] that the Bush administration and congressional Republicans have failed to secure the ports and have proposed their own remedies.
Yet The Washington Post and NBC's Tim Russert ("They have now taken care of the port deal") flatly declare the matter over.
Even more incredibly, a New York Post editorial asked [25]: "Now let's see whether those same pols who were fulminating over foreign ownership -- Chuck Schumer? Hillary Clinton? -- show the same concern over the reality of what passes for port security." But Sens. Schumer and Clinton have already shown "concern over the reality of what passes for port security," and they will continue to do so. It is President Bush and congressional Republicans -- along with The Washington Post and Russert -- who don't show such concern.
Which brings us back to our point about why Vaughn Ververs is wrong. Republican and conservative guests on shows like Hardball and Face the Nation may well have been critical of the port deal or of President Bush's handling of it. According to Ververs, that -- not their party or ideology -- is what matters. But unless those guests also criticized years of neglect by Bush and congressional Republicans on the broader issue of securing our ports, viewers weren't given the full picture. Unless those guests also endorsed Democratic efforts to fix port security, viewers weren't really treated to a comprehensive discussion. They saw Republicans arguing with Republicans about whether or not to transfer control of ports to a company owned by the government of Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates -- but they didn't see Democrats talking about their efforts to secure increased funding to secure our ports. Isn't it obvious that there's a problem with that?
We recently described [26] the "relentlessly positive, often-sycophantic" way the media cover Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), focusing on media lavishing praise and attention on him. But McCain benefits from unique media coverage in another way: While most politicians can expect news organizations to play up their most controversial actions and statements, reporters typically look the other way when something embarrassing to McCain comes along.
The classic example of this behavior is the lack of coverage given to a "joke" McCain told in 1998 in which he called the president's teenage daughter "ugly" and implied that Janet Reno -- the only woman ever to serve as Attorney General of the United States -- was, in fact, a man. As David Corn explained [27] at Salon.com:
McCain's lapse in judgment -- admittedly, not as big a lapse as having a sexual relationship with an intern -- may be a significant clue into aspects of his "character," and thus relevant to the voting public. But many voters have been spared this insight, thanks to the censors in the press. ... [T]he joke revealed more than a mean streak in a man who would be president. It also exposed how the Washington Post, New York Times and Los Angeles Times play favorites when reporting the foibles of our leading politicians.
Maureen Dowd, writing in The New York Times, added of McCain: "He is so revered by the press that his disgusting jape was largely nudged under the rug. 'It's like a return to the Kennedy era,' said one magazine editor. 'He makes a gaffe, and we look the other way.'"
Of course, McCain's "joke" was of little import, aside from what it reveals about his character, his temperament, and his mean streak. But the media look the other way about matters that may tell us more about McCain: whether he's as "clean" as he and his unofficial flaks in the media want us to think he is, and what his positions are on important issues.
Take, for example [28], the article Reuters ran about a forthcoming Vanity Fair article in which former Republican lobbyist and admitted felon Jack Abramoff disclosed that he "worked closely with many top Republicans, despite their claims to the contrary." The Vanity Fair article includes this passage:
"Mr. Abramoff flatters himself," Mark Salter, McCain's administrative assistant, tells [Vanity Fair contributing editor David] Margolick. "Senator McCain was unaware of his existence until he read initial press accounts of Abramoff's abuses, and had never laid eyes on him until he appeared before the committee."
Abramoff says, "As best I can remember, when I met with him, he didn't have his eyes shut. I'm surprised that Senator McCain has joined the chorus of amnesiacs."
The Reuters article about the Vanity Fair piece began: "Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff said in the latest issue of Vanity Fair magazine that he worked closely with many top Republicans, despite their claims to the contrary."
Yet Reuters didn't mention John McCain at all [28], focusing instead on comparatively insignificant Republicans like Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT) and Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman. The Vanity Fair passage about McCain perfectly fit the premise of the Reuters article -- it shows Abramoff contradicting McCain's claim, through a spokesman, that he had never met Abramoff. If Abramoff is telling the truth, we've learned two things: McCain has ties to one of the most corrupt lobbyists ever to walk the earth, and he's lying about it. McCain is among the most famous Republicans in America, and a leading contender for the party's 2008 presidential nomination.
Yet Reuters omitted any mention of him from its article. Does anyone believe, even for a moment, that any other political figure of McCain's stature -- say, Hillary Clinton or John Kerry -- would have been the recipient of this kind of favorable treatment?
Another example: On MSNBC, Chris Matthews whitewashed McCain's controversial position on the recently passed South Dakota abortion ban. Matthews told viewers that "President Bush and John McCain, two leaders of the Republican Party, keep saying it isn't the time to make changes in the law" to outlaw abortion. If true, that would put McCain squarely in step with most Americans. But it isn't true. McCain, through a spokesman, has said that he would have signed the South Dakota law, as Media Matters explained [29]:
On the March 7 edition [30] of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, Matthews stated that "President Bush and John McCain, two leaders of the Republican party, keep saying it isn't the time to make changes in the law" to outlaw abortion. In making the assertion about McCain, Matthews ignored a statement by a McCain spokesman, quoted by The National Journal's weblog The Hotline [31] (subscription required), that if McCain were the South Dakota governor, he " 'would have signed the [South Dakota] legislation, but would also take the appropriate steps under state law -- in whatever state -- to ensure that the exceptions of rape, incest or life of the mother were included.' " While McCain's spokesman's statement is inconclusive in that it contains two assertions that, without more detail, make little sense together (the spokesman did not say that McCain would sign only if he secured the desired amendments, merely that he would sign -- and he would seek to amend -- the bill) McCain did take a position on a highly controversial and restrictive bill that was different from what Matthews claimed McCain "keep[s] saying."
Time for the Times to "take a stand"
We've argued repeatedly [32] that newspaper editorials -- like those The New York Times has frequently run -- calling on Congress to conduct oversight of the Bush administration are largely pointless: the Republicans who control Congress have shown over and over again that they simply won't do it. Sure, from time to time, they'll pretend -- but they always stop far short of actual oversight.
This week, our friends at Think Progress detail the extent to which Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Pat Roberts (R-KS) has covered up Bush administration failures [33] on "the most important intelligence issues facing Americans."
It couldn't have come at a better time, as Intelligence Committee Republicans this week predictably decided against investigating the Bush administration's warrantless domestic spying operation, deciding instead to simply change the law to make warantless wiretapping legal.
After months of critical comments about the legality of the program and the need for an investigation, Republican Sens. Hagel (R-NE) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) fell in line with Vice President Dick Cheney when it mattered [34], scuttling the investigation the Times and others have been urging. Snowe even had the audacity to claim, "We are reasserting Congressional responsibility and oversight. ... We have to get the facts in order to weigh in." Keep in mind: Snowe said this as she and her fellow Republicans were killing a thorough investigation.
The New York Times reacted with predictable, though pointless, outrage in a March 9 editorial [35]:
The Senate panel has become so paralyzingly partisan that it could not even manage to do its basic job this week and look into President Bush's warrantless spying on Americans' international e-mail and phone calls. Senator Pat Roberts, the chairman, said Tuesday that there would be no investigation.
Imagine that: Pat Roberts said there would be no investigation. Who could possibly have predicted that? How about the Times itself, which asked in a February 17 editorial [36]: "Is there any aspect of President Bush's miserable record on intelligence that Senator Pat Roberts, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is not willing to excuse and help to cover up?"
Though the Times' editorial board knew Sen. Roberts was "willing to excuse and help cover up" Bush administration misdeeds, it put its faith in him rather than calling for a special counsel to investigate what the Times said is presidential lawbreaking. That faith was, it turns out, misplaced.
The Times' March 9 editorial continued:
It's breathtakingly cynical. Faced with a president who is almost certainly breaking the law, the Senate sets up a panel to watch him do it and calls that control.
The Republicans' idea of supervision involves saying the White House should get a warrant for spying whenever possible. Currently a warrant is needed, period. And that's the right law. The White House has not offered a scrap of evidence that it interferes with antiterrorist operations. Mr. Bush simply decided the law did not apply to him.
It was no surprise that Mr. Roberts led this retreat. He's been blocking an investigation into the domestic spying operation for weeks, just as he has been stonewalling a promised investigation into how the White House hyped the intelligence on Iraq. But it was disappointing to see a principled Republican like Senator Olympia Snowe go along. The Democrats are not blameless, either. Too often, their positions seem like campaign tactics, and Senator John Rockefeller IV fumbled by not consulting Ms. Snowe, who is up for re-election and under intense White House pressure.
But the Republicans deserve the lion's share of the blame. It was Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney who hyped the intelligence on Iraq -- and the Senate Republicans who helped them evade accountability. And it was Mr. Bush who approved the warrantless wiretapping, which is part of Mr. Cheney's crusade to expand presidential powers. (Unlike the rest of us, Mr. Cheney thought the lesson of Watergate was that the president was not strong enough.)
Ms. Snowe said she would still support an investigation if the new panel uncovered more wrongdoing. But that's hardly likely to happen because the Republicans on the panel are Mr. Roberts, Orrin Hatch, Mike DeWine and Christopher Bond, who march in lock step with the White House.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is still looking into the wiretapping. That committee should have plenty of incentive to go forward -- its chairman, Senator Arlen Specter, was righteously angry when he received a letter in which Attorney General Alberto Gonzales implied that there was more warrantless spying we don't know about. Mr. Gonzales won't even say that Mr. Bush understands it is blatantly illegal to spy on communications within the United States without a warrant. Nevertheless, there's not much cause for hope: Mr. Specter has a sad habit of bowing to the right wing when the chips are down.
To recap: the Times said it was "no surprise that Mr. Roberts led this retreat." The editorial said the Times has little hope that the Senate Judiciary Committee will conduct a meaningful investigation because "Mr. Specter has a sad habit of bowing to the right wing when the chips are down." So, why did the Times put their faith in these political allies of the president? Why does it still refuse to call, as it has in the past, for an independent investigation?
The Times editorial concluded:
There are moments when leaders simply have to take a stand. It seems to us that one of them is when Americans are in danger of the kind of unchecked surveillance that they thought had died with J. Edgar Hoover, Watergate and spying on Vietnam protesters and civil rights leaders.
There are moments when newspapers simply have to take a stand, too.
At least the Times' editorial writers got the facts right; their colleagues in the news department missed badly in their attempt to explain the deal reached between Republican senators and the White House. As Media Matters explained [37]:
A March 8 New York Times article [34] by staff writers David D. Kirkpatrick and Scott Shane reported that the recent agreement between the White House and Republican members of the Senate Intelligence Committee concerning the Bush administration's warrantless domestic surveillance program "would reinforce the authority of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court," which is often referred to as the FISA court. But far from reinforcing what many say should be the FISA court's authority over the program, the reported agreement, if it is introduced as legislation, would codify the program's status outside the reach of the court.
Cowardly Bill O'Reilly on insanity and "serious debate"
On the March 7 broadcast of The Radio Factor, host Bill O'Reilly explained why he'll never invite Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA) to appear on the show:
[Y]ou know when Murtha says 'there was no terrorism in Iraq before' the war, I mean, that's just insane, with all due respect. And that's why John Murtha will never come on The Factor, because that statement eliminates him from any serious debate.
That's right: Bill O'Reilly [38] thinks he's the guardian of "serious debate."
The day after declaring Murtha "insane," O'Reilly elaborated [39] on his definition of sanity: "You know, in a sane world, every country would unite against Iran and blow it off the face of the earth. That would be the sane thing to do."
O'Reilly's attack on Murtha -- and refusal to invite Murtha to appear on his show -- reminds us of O'Reilly's definition of cowardice [40]: "If you attack someone publicly, as these men did to me, you have an obligation to face the person you are smearing. If you don't, you are a coward."

Book on atom bomb horrors halted over false stories
By Christine Kearney
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A book about a handful of Japanese who survived both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atom bombs has been pulled from U.S. book shelves amid reports it is based on false accounts and with doubts over the author's past.
Barnes and Noble said it had removed Charles Pellegrino's "The Last Train From Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back" from its shelves after reports that some stories in the book are false, the latest in a string of non-fiction books proven inaccurate.
Pellegrino, a controversial U.S. author of several books about science and archaeology, told The New York Times last week that he was duped by one of the book's sources, Joseph Fuoco, who died in 2008, but he would correct future editions of his book.
Fuoco's account that he was a flight engineer on one of the two planes that dropped the bomb at the end of World War Two was discredited by historians.
But Henry Holt & Co., the publisher of the book that enjoyed strong reviews and a film option from "Avatar" director James Cameron, told the newspaper it would stop printing and shipping copies as it was suspicious about whether two other people quoted in the book, Rev. John MacQuitty and Father Mattias, existed.
The publisher also has questions about 56-year-old Pellegrino's claims to being Dr. Pellegrino after earning his doctorate from Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, dating back to 1982.
Pellegrino claims on his website www.charlespellegrino.com that the university stripped him of his PhD during a row over a evolutionary theory but it was later reinstated.
But the university has told the New Zealand Herald that Pellegrino has no such degree and it is investigating. Continued...

Morningstar: Tapping Returns in Health-Care ETFs
Since the start of 2014, the U.S. health-care sector has outpaced the broader stock market with the S&P 500 Healthcare Index besting the S&P 500 by more than 400 basis points and continuing a trend that has stretched over the past several years.
According to Morningstar.com, fund flows have been very strong into the health-care sector over the past year.
Two of the sector's biggest ETFs, the Vanguard Healthcare ETF (VHT) and the Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLV) are each up more than 16% since the start of the year.
It's not hard to figure out why. The Affordable Care Act expanded health benefits to millions of uninsured Americans. Meanwhile, drug makers, especially biotech stocks have been on a roll thanks to big pipeline successes that have delivered important and profitable drugs onto the market.
Can investors still profit from the sector? As my colleague Ben Levisohn reported yesterday, there are reasons to worry that biotech stocks may be entering overbought territory.
But Morningstar analyst Robert Goldsborough argues that "even this late into the five-year-plus bull market, we see opportunities for investors both in the broader health-care sector but also within several specific pockets."
Goldsborough writes that investors should watch several key themes, including the rising volumes of Americans seeking health care, mergers and acquisitions in the biotech sector, long-term growth in China and corporate inversions.
In the realm of exchange-traded funds that can help investors make specific bets on these dynamics, Goldsborough highlights broad funds such as the Health Care Select Sector SPDR, Vanguard Health Care ETF, and iShares US Healthcare (IYH), as well as targeted ETFs such as iShares US Healthcare Providers (IHF), SPDR S&P Health Care Services ETF (XHS), iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology (IBB), SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI), iShares US Pharmaceuticals (IHE), SPDR S&P Pharmaceuticals ETF (XPH), Market Vectors Pharmaceutical ETF (PPH) and the iShares US Medical Devices (IHI).

L'état c'est Obama
posted at 10:44 am on October 23, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
Last night's debate may have lacked the anticipated fireworks over the Obama administration's pathetic attempt to sell the American public a false bill of goods after the raid on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, but it contained an important reminder. Late in the debate, in an obvious stumble, the president said:
One thing I think Americans should be proud of, when Tunisians began to protest, this nation—me … my administration—stood with them earlier than just about any country. [Emphasis added]
There may be no "I" in team, but there is most definitely an "I" in president and nation. And in Obama's eyes, if no one else's, the two are one and the same.
It is the latest flexing of his best-worked muscle, the egotissimus anteriori. It is telling. if unsurprising after four years of non-stop speeches filled with self-reverence. Terrence Jeffrey of CNSnews.com counted the number of first-person pronouns in a single 25-minute speech and found that Obama used "I" 98 times and "me" 19 times.
There was plenty else the president said that won't pass the smell test. He tried once again to invoke "the record," but there was no Candy Crowley to oblige. He would have lost the point anyway, since his claim—that Mitt Romney advocated allowing the U.S. auto industry to go bankrupt, period—was false.
His entire performance last night was another effort to atone for his lame showing in the first all-important debate by peppering his answers to questions with cheap shots and snarky zingers. In the end, it was too little, too late. More viewers tuned in to the first debate than to either of the second or last night's debate, and early reports suggest last night's may have had the smallest audience. The New York Times quotes foreign policy analyst Anne-Marie Slaughter as having tweeted during the debate, "I live and breathe this stuff, and I'm bored."
CNN acknowledges that Mitt Romney did what he came to do, and that was to appear knowledgeable and presidential. And he did it without repeatedly using first-person pronouns.

Chinese team will not attend Deaflympics opening: organizers
By Deborah Kuo, CNA Monday, August 31, 2009, 4:38 pm TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Chinese team that will participate in the Deaflympics Taipei 2009 is not expected to attend the opening ceremony on Sept. 5, a top organizer of the event said Monday.
The 100-strong Chinese team is scheduled to arrive in Taiwan around 9: 40 p.m. Sept. 5, which means it will miss the opening which is scheduled for 7: 30 p.m. the same day, said Emile C. J. Sheng, chief executive officer of the organizing committee for the Taipei Deaflympics.
The Chinese team to the World Games in Kaohsiung in July also did not attend the opening ceremony.
When asked by reporters at a news conference Monday whether the Chinese team was skipping the Deaflympics opening because of the Dalai Lama's current visit in Taiwan, Sheng said he had no information to that effect.
"I also have no idea whether the Chinese team will take part in the closing ceremony," Sheng added.
However, the 80-member Thousand-hand Bodhisattva Dance Performance Group from China, comprised mainly of hearing impaired young women, will perform at the opening ceremony, he confirmed.
Regarding the order of appearance of the teams at the opening ceremony, Sheng said that France will lead the procession, in keeping with International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) protocol.
France was the first nation to sponsor the Deaflympics.
As the host, the Chinese Taipei team will appear last, Sheng added.
According to Stan Lai, ceremony general director, the opening of the Deaflympics will be a "memorable event that will call forth the beauty of the human heart and reach out to the deaf community."
It will be divided into 12 acts, including a performance titled "Impossible Dream" by renowned Taiwanese model Patina Lin.
Completely covered in body paint, Lin will float across a 50-meter projection screen to create the illusion of a goddess walking through air and water. She will also perform along with children from schools for the hearing-impaired, using sign language to express the message of "Power in Me," Lai said.
World-renowned deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie has been invited to perform at the opening ceremony, as well as the local drumming group U-Theatre, and more than 80 children from schools for the hearing-impaired in Taipei and Taichung cities, according to Lai.
The Deaflympics is one of four games regulated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) . Its events are similar to those of the Olympic Games and are governed by the same rules.
The 21st Summer Deaflympics in Taipei is expected to bring together about 4,000 athletes and sports officials from 101 countries around the world.
The games will feature 20 sports, namely athletics, badminton, basketball, bowling, cycling, football, handball, orienteering, shooting, swimming, table tennis, tennis, volleyball, beach volleyball, water polo, wrestling freestyle, wrestling Greco-Roman, karate, judo and taekwondo, according to the ICSD.

Freezable Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Chocolate sandwich cookies, with a variety of flavorful fillings, create boldly striped packages when lined up neatly and wrapped in cellophane.
- Yield: Makes 15 sandwiches
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, Episode 5029
- Vegetable-oil cooking spray
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Sandwich Cookie Filling
Line baking sheets with parchment paper; lightly coat with cooking spray. Whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture, beating to combine. Divide dough in half; form into disks, and wrap in plastic. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days. (Dough can be frozen up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before using.)
Working with one disk at a time, roll out dough to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Using a 1 1/2-inch square biscuit or cookie cutter, cut out shapes, transferring to prepared sheets (1 inch apart) as you work. Chill in freezer until firm, about 15 minutes. Brush off excess flour. Gather together scraps; roll, chill, and cut out more shapes.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are firm, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer cookies, on parchment, to a wire rack to cool completely.
Spread a small amount of filling on the bottom of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies; gently press to adhere.

Re: Copying input from the Wolfram blog
I am not certain what level of drilling down you can stand but this is where
the FireFox DOM inspector works nicely.
If you have FireFox with the DOM Inspector option installed, then use the
DOM Inspector. For each element that you want the title or alt text to --
toggle the "Select Element by Click" and click on the image in the Browser
View. In the Object View the "DOM Node" the object selected and its
attributes should be available for copy/paste.
Or maybe the folks at Wolfram can add the same "Click for copyable input"
javascript functionality to the blog pages.
Or you can modify the following rough Mathematica code
x =
XMLElement["img", {___, "alt" -> x_ /; StringMatchQ[x, "*=*"], ___}, {}] :>
x , Infinity]
it should return a list
{"In[1]:= ColorSetter[] | Out[1]: (interactive color setter box)", \
"In[2]:= {ColorSetter[Dynamic[c]], Graphics[{Dynamic[c], \
EdgeForm[Black], Disk[]}]} | Out[2]= (ColorSetter with dynamically \
colored Disk)", "In[3]:= {ColorSlider[Dynamic[c]], \
Graphics[{Dynamic[c], EdgeForm[Black], Disk[]}]} | Out[3]= \
(ColorSlider with dynamically colored disk", "In[5]:= \
Graphics[Polygon[{{-1, 0}, {1, 0}, {0, Sqrt[3]}}, \
VertextColors->{Red, Green, Blue}]] | Out[5]= (Triangle with red, \
green, and blue vertex colors)", "In[6]:= pic = \
Reverse[ExampleData[{TestImage, Lena}, Data]][[5 ;; -5 ;; 5, 5 ;; -5 ;; \
5]]; | In[7]:= ListPlot3D[Table[x + Sin[x y], {x, -5, 5, .1}, {y, \
-5, 5, .1}], Mesh -> None, VertexColors -> {pic/255.}, Lighting -> \
Neutral] | Out[7]= (Textured plot with image)", "In[8]:= \
Graphics[{ColorData[HTML][DeepSkyBlue], Rectangle[]}] | Out[8]= \
(DeepSkyBlue rectangle)", "In[10]:= ContourPlot[x + Sin[x^2 + y^2], \
{x, -4, 4}, {y, -4, 4}, ColorFunction ->Pastel]", "In[11]:= \
GraphicsGrid[Partition[ColorData[#, Image] & /@ ColorData[Gradients], \
3], ImageSize -> 300]"}
I leave it to others to write a function where you give it the URL and input
GetInput[URI, n_Integer] := ....
String manipulate to get items to the left ot the "|" pipe and remove
Note you can use either the alt or title attributes which ever has the least
character length restrictions in HTML.

When Business Objects got acquired by SAP earlier this year, it made a statement that it plans to continue to remain an open, heterogeneous BI vendor, treating all partners equally. Apparently, all partners are not created equal – and, as we suspected and long predicted, this Business Objects strategy does not extend to its own parent.
Well, the cat's finally out of the bag. Efforts are already underway at SAP to improve the existing connectivity between Business Objects products and SAP applications. The improved connectivity that may result from these efforts will be very much optimized for Business Objects products only. SAP states that "SAP customers who instead decide to move forward with non-SAP third party BI tools will not benefit from these types of improvements and enhancements."

BI is essentially a set of best practices for building models to answer business questions. However, today's BI best practices may be suboptimal for many enterprises' decision-support requirements.
For most users, BI is a journey that's been modeled and mapped out in advance by others, following a well-marked path through vast data sets. Data models, which must often be pre-built by specialists, generate or shape the design of such key BI artifacts as queries, reports, and dashboards. Essentially, every BI application is some data modeler's prediction of the types of questions that users will want to ask of the underlying data marts. Sometimes, those predictions are little more than an educated guess -- and are not always on the mark.
