They are a pair of 18-year-olds on the same journey.
They have the same goals, the same vision, the same dreams.
Danny Mwanga and Amobi Okugo were selected first and sixth overall, respectively, in January's Major League Soccer SuperDraft. As far as building blocks go, these two should be cornerstones of the foundation Philadelphia Union continues to build.
Since the SuperDraft, their lives have been a blur – training sessions locally, in chilly Greensboro, N.C., and on to Guadalajara, Mexico and then eventually Tampa before opening the regular season March 25 at Seattle.
It has already been an extraordinary ride for the matched pair of gifted young athletes.
What have they learned thus far?
"Every day at practice, I'm getting a chance to go after some of the best defenders in the league, like Danny Califf and Shavar (Thomas)," said Mwanga, who starred at forward for Oregon State. "Playing around those guys is showing me how to be more physical. Since I got here, I've learned more about my game and how to play it quicker. My fitness level is also much better than it was at the college level. Every day here is a chance to get better and better."
Okugo echoed similar thoughts.
"Since I arrived to training camp, I've learned a lot of new things," Okugo said. "You have to be consistent and able to adjust, since the game is all about transition. The professional game is a lot faster than college. The older players and the coaches are great examples for us, and we learn daily from all they have to offer. I'm just really happy to be a part of this."
The MLS season will be a much different experience than playing an NCAA schedule.
The players say they are preparing for the difficult transition.
"The MLS season is a long one," said Mwanga. "You play a lot of really good games, at the professional level, so it will definitely be more physical, plus the speed of the game is faster. I'm hoping to have adjusted enough by the time the season starts. It's going to be a lot faster and more physical compared to college soccer, so we need to work hard every day to make sure we are at that level."
Okugo, a standout midfielder at UCLA, added: "The MLS season is much longer than college, so that alone is going to be different. Then the importance of games and the amount of them added to the level of play are features that are definitely different from college. As a rookie, those are factors that we need to work on daily, but I'm really eager to learn and excited for the upcoming professional season."
Between now and March 25 when Philadelphia Union takes the field for First Kick against Seattle Sounders FC, the players won't have much down time. But that's fine with them.
"It's a little bit hard because it's different compared to the college season, which is very short," Mwanga said. "This is a very long preseason, but we are trying to stay focused all the way through. We know this is the only time we have to get ready for the season, so we all are trying to stick together. The young guys are trying to look at the older guys, so they can learn from experience and from what those guys have done before to get through this."
Okugo believes that having balance is vital to accomplish on-field goals.
"During the off time, we either just rest or hang out with the team by playing cards, and just trying to get our minds away from soccer to give ourselves a break," he said. "We just try to rest as much as possible so when we get on the field, we focus and put all of our energy into the game."

For last couple of months, I was thinking of taking a DSLR. I had a entry level DSLR from FujiFilm S9600(which now I am planning to sell off).

A Texas couple were on a return trip from Ohio when a cop pulled them over and ordered them to remove a bumpersticker. He thought the bumpersticker image of an Ohio buckeye leaf – the state symbol and a term of endearment for the pioneers on the Ohio frontier – was a marijuana leaf. He ordered them to remove the bumpersticker, although there is no law against displaying such an image.
The incident once again underscores how control freak and power tripping cops think they are entitled to tell citizens what they can do. It also reveals that a lot of cops have no clue about the First Amendment and the Constitution they are supposedly sworn to uphold.

Pho and Hot Pot would like to
welcome you to our newly opened Vietnamese restaurant. If you would like
to try something authentic, delicious, and unique then try us. We offer
all the traditional Vietnamese cuisine such as Summer Rolls, Banh Xeo,
Pho, and Bun Bo Hue. But we wanted to add something that will make us
stand out from other Vietnamese restaurants. That's why we added Lau
or Hot Pot. It is similar to fondue but rather you start off with a
soup broth and begin adding meats, vegetables, and noodles that you
choose. This is a fun and unique, because you get to choose what you
want and you do the the cooking. It is simple and fun and it is great
for a group of friends or a party.
like to thank all those who have supported us and we would love to
invite those who have never been to Pho and Hot Pot. We look forward to
dining with you.

Though general elections in July took place in a significantly more peaceful atmosphere than the 2008 vote, the news media remained dominated by state-owned outlets. Journalists and human rights defenders were frequent targets of physical attacks and brief detentions in the months leading up to the election, which renewed the 33-year grip on power of 89-year-old President Robert Mugabe, giving the ruling party a two-thirds majority which could allow it to make changes to the country's recently approved constitution. No journalists were detained at the time of the elections, but an observer mission of Southern African editors failed to receive media accreditation ahead of the vote. Authorities maintained a tight hold on radio, the principal means of communication for Zimbabweans, most of whom live in rural areas. Though two commercial, urban-based stations were licensed in mid-2012, community radio stations were blocked from the air, and calls for the licensing of additional commercial licenses fell on deaf ears. Despite new constitutional provisions that guarantee media freedom and civil liberties, repressive laws such as the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the Public Order and Security Act, and the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act, remained on the books.
In the months leading up to the July elections, authorities announced a ban on "specially designed radios" and confiscated at least 186 radios. The police also arrested Zenzele Ndebele, community radio activist and editor of Radio Dialogue, on charges of smuggling hand-cranked, solar-powered radios into the country.
Radio in Zimbabwe is almost exclusively state-controlled. Radio Dialogue distributes its programs on CD and flash drives through community networks. A number of alternative radio stations, including SW Radio Africa, Studio 7, and Voice of the People, broadcast into the country on shortwave transmitters located elsewhere in the region.
April 18, 1980
|Zimbabwe gains independence, but preserves state control of the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corp., which owns all radio and television stations.
October 1, 2000
|Independent station Capital Radio, based in Harare, breaks ZBC's 20-year monopoly and goes on the air. Five days later, the police shut it down, despite a court order upholding its right to broadcast.
|Organizers of Capital Radio, now based in London, begin broadcasting from the U.K. under the name "Short Wave Radio Africa."
November 24, 2011
|The Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe awards two commercial radio licenses to talk radio Star FM and music radio Zifm—both of which have ties to the Zimbabwe government. But the number of transmitters, and the broadcast reach the transmitters have, limits access to major urban areas.
June 25, 2012
|Star FM is launched. It is owned by Zimpapers, a government company, but airs live debates between opposing political parties for the first time.
August 15, 2012
|Zifm, owned by AB Communications, is launched. Its CEO is Supa Mandiwanzira, a former ZBC journalist and provincial official in the ruling Zanu-PF party.
July 31, 2013
|Mandiwanzira is elected to parliament as a Zanu-PF candidate. Two months later, he is appointed the deputy minister of information of media and broadcasting services.
At least 17 journalists were detained by police and local authorities over the year, according to news reports and CPJ research.
March 1, 2013
|Zenzele Ndebele, editor of Radio Dialogue, is detained, then released and charged with smuggling radios. After Ndebele says that he was giving the radios away, the prosecutor drops the smuggling charges. Police say they will look for an alternative charge to file, but no charges had been filed by late year.
April 26, 2013
|Dumisani Muleya, editor of the private Zimbabwe Independent, and Owen Gagare, the paper's chief reporter, are detained for seven hours and charged under Section 31 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act for publishing "false statements prejudicial to the state." Police cite a story published in the paper that described behind-the-scenes discussions between military leaders and an opposition party. The case had not gone to trial in late 2013.
June 21, 2013
|Reporters Cynthia Matonhodze (NewsDay), Peter Matambanadzo (The Herald), Innocent Makawa (The Herald), Wendy Muperi (The Daily News), and Wonai Masvingise (NewsDay) are briefly detained while covering a protest by Zanu-PF supporters. They are forced to delete their pictures and are subjected to verbal abuse, according to a report from the Zimbabwe Union of Journalists.
July 10, 2013
|Masvingo Mirror photographer Leopold Munhende is detained for nine hours after taking photographs of the voter registration process at the Registrar General's Offices. He is charged with being a public nuisance under the Miscellaneous Offences Act. No further legal action had been taken in late 2013.
July 30, 2013
|Police arrest Emmy Maseko, a reporter for Radio Kwelaz, question him, and charge him with contravening the notorious Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Two of the station's board members, Paul Gundani and Howard Masaninga, are also detained. All are later released. The journalists had not been summoned to court in late 2013.
In June, amid mounting political tension, at least four journalists came under physical attack.
June 6
|Mashudu Netsianda, reporter for the state-owned Chronicle, is manhandled by unidentified assailants while covering a meeting between Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and businessmen in Bulawayo.
June 7
|Herbert Moyo, a reporter for the private Zimbabwe Independent, is assaulted by youths as he reports on a protest by members of the MDC party against the choice of candidate for their constituency, according to news reports.
June 8
|Bernard Mapwanyire, a reporter for the private Masvingo Mirror, is roughed up by unidentified people while covering MDC-T primary elections.
June 14
|Freelance journalist Paul Pindani is abducted from his home and beaten by three masked assailants in north central Mashonaland West province. He is hospitalized for his injuries.
After the violence-marred 2008 elections and Zanu-PF's refusal to cede power, the Global Political Agreement of 2008 was created between Zanu-PF and opposition parties to prepare legitimate elections and establish a commitment to media reform over the next five years.
Some reforms were never implemented, and the July 31, 2013, election took place in a skewed media environment that failed to provide free and fair coverage to all parties.
Section 61
|of the new constitution that was signed into law in May enshrines freedom of expression and the right "to seek, receive, and communicate ideas and other information." It also stipulates that all state-owned media must "be impartial; and afford fair opportunity for the presentation of divergent views and dissenting opinions."
6 media organizations
|including the Zimbabwe Union of Journalists and the national editors' forum, condemned the repressive media environment ahead of the July 31 elections and called for the "genuine opening up of the airwaves and a nonpartisan public service media."
7 laws
that limit media freedom:
• Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act
• Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act (sections on defamation and insult)
• Broadcasting Services Act
• Censorship and Entertainment Controls Act
• Public Order and Security Act
• Interception of Communications Act
• Official Secrets Act

An unexploded bomb left over from World War II finally detonated late yesterday in Germany, killing one person and injuring at least thirteen other people. Nearly 70 years after hostilities ceased, the ghosts of generations past still prove to be deadly.
The man who was killed was a bulldozer driver at a rubble storage site in the western German town of Euskirchen, just south of Cologne, according to the Global Post:
"During earth works an excavator hit a World War II bomb which exploded," a local police spokesman told AFP.
"There was a huge blast wave. In the vicinity of the accident site and surrounding streets, home windows shattered and garage doors were pushed in."
The rubble was being recycled for construction.
Over two million tons of bombs were dropped from planes during World War II. Finding unexploded ordinance from the last global conflict isn't uncommon, and the bombs remain incredibly dangerous despite the years. Back in August of 2012, hundreds of people had to be evacuated from the center of Munich so that authorities could detonate a 550 pounder. A year before that, a similar situation occurred in the city of Koblenz.

rms (5.1-3.1)
Regression Modeling Strategies.
Regression modeling, testing, estimation, validation, graphics, prediction, and typesetting by storing enhanced model design attributes in the fit. 'rms' is a collection of functions that assist with and streamline modeling. It also contains functions for binary and ordinal logistic regression models, ordinal models for continuous Y with a variety of distribution families, and the Buckley-James multiple regression model for right-censored responses, and implements penalized maximum likelihood estimation for logistic and ordinary linear models. 'rms' works with almost any regression model, but it was especially written to work with binary or ordinal regression models, Cox regression, accelerated failure time models, ordinary linear models, the Buckley-James model, generalized least squares for serially or spatially correlated observations, generalized linear models, and quantile regression.

Will NBC once again help Ann Coulter sell books?
On October 2, 2007, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans (Crown Forum), the latest book by right-wing pundit Ann Coulter, is scheduled to be released. As Media Matters for America documented, in the weeks following the release of her last book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism (Crown Forum, June 2006), Coulter made numerous appearances on MSNBC, CNBC, and their parent network, NBC, where she unleashed a stream of attacks on the widows of victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. As Media Matters also documented, while NBC continued to provide Coulter an open platform with which to spew her inflammatory and offensive rhetoric, several NBC hosts and anchors -- including Tonight Show host Jay Leno, Today co-host Matt Lauer, and Nightly News anchor Brian Williams -- expressed disapproval of Coulter's "harsh" and "nasty" statements. On June 26, 2007 -- the date Godless was released in paperback -- Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC's Hardball, claimed that Coulter forces him to "go to confession." Matthews, however, has a history of inviting her on his show. Following an appearance on Today in June 2006 -- during which Coulter criticized the 9-11 widows for "speak[ing] out using the fact that they're widows" and "using their grief" and "the fact that [they] lost a husband" to make "a political point while preventing anyone from responding" -- Williams devoted a segment of the Nightly News to the subject of "civility in American life," highlighting Coulter's comments. And yet NBC and its cable affiliates have continued to invite her on the air. The upcoming release of Coulter's new book gives rise once again to the question of whether NBC programs will keep hosting her.
According to a Media Matters review*, Coulter has been interviewed at least 194 times on at least 13 individual programs on MSNBC, CNBC, and NBC since April 28, 1997.** During these interviews, all of Coulter's books have been named, by a host or anchor, by an on-screen graphic, or by Coulter herself. Further, as Media Matters has extensively documented, Coulter continues to make outrageous statements. On NBC programs alone, Coulter has called former Vice President Al Gore a "total fag" and has attacked former President Bill Clinton as a "latent homosexual." Elsewhere, Coulter has said she "can't really talk about" Democratic presidential candidate and former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) because "you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot'" and has said of Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens: "We need somebody to put rat poison in Justice Stevens's créme brulée." Coulter has also repeatedly mused about potential acts of violence against people with whom she doesn't like or with whom she disagrees.
In its search, Media Matters reviewed Nexis transcript databases for MSNBC, CNBC, and NBC News and documented all of Coulter's interviews, including the date of her appearance, the program on which she was interviewed, the network, and the book (High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton (Regnery Publishers, 1998), Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right (Crown, 2002), Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism (Crown Forum, 2003), How to Talk to A Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter (Crown Forum, 2004), and Godless) named during the show, if one was named. Media Matters read through each transcript individually in order to ensure that interviews were not counted twice, and that clips from previous interviews were also not counted.
According to the Nexis search, since April 28, 1997, Coulter has appeared 117 times on CNBC, seven times on NBC News, and 70 times on MSNBC for a total of 194 interviews. Nexis does not transcribe every show on every network, so these figures represent only those interviews that Media Matters could verify. For example, Nexis does not transcribe CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, where, on July 26, 2006, as Media Matters documented, Coulter asserted that former President Bill Clinton exhibits "some level of latent homosexuality." Coulter has also been interviewed on The Tonight Show, which is not transcribed in Nexis.
According to the review, Coulter has been interviewed on at least 13 different NBC and NBC-affiliate programs -- including MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, MSNBC's Scarborough Country, MSNBC's Tucker (formerly The Situation with Tucker Carlson), MSNBC's The Abrams Report, MSNBC's Deborah Norville Tonight, MSNBC's Buchanan & Press, MSNBC's Saturday Final with Lawrence O'Donnell, MSNBC's Phil Donahue, NBC's Today, CNBC's Kudlow & Company (formerly Kudlow & Cramer), CNBC's Rivera Live, CNBC's Equal Time, and CNBC's Upfront Tonight. Additionally, since April 29, 2003, Coulter has been interviewed 36 times by MSNBC host Joe Scarborough. Since June 26, 2002, Coulter has been interviewed 21 times by MSNBC host Chris Matthews. Further, from December 16, 1997, to August 14, 2001, Coulter was interviewed 69 times on CNBC's Rivera Live hosted by Geraldo Rivera.
Many of these appearances involved the promotion of Coulter's books. When Godless was released on June 6, 2006, Coulter began a string of appearances on NBC. In the months of June and July 2006 alone, Coulter appeared 11 times on NBC programs. During each of those appearances, Godless was mentioned by name. Similarly, the names of Coulter's other books were mentioned frequently during her earlier appearances on NBC. On MSNBC alone, Godless was mentioned five times, How to Talk to A Liberal was mentioned 15 times, Slander was mentioned 18 times, and Treason, 32 times. In only four of Coulter's 70 interviews on MSNBC was none of her books mentioned by name.
As Media Matters for America has extensively documented, Coulter has made a number of highly controversial remarks during these appearances on NBC-owned channels:
- The July 26, 2006, edition of MSNBC News Live highlighted Coulter's taped interview with CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, set to air later that day. MSNBC featured a clip from the interview in which Coulter said that former President Clinton exhibits "some level of latent homosexuality." When asked by Deutsch if she was indeed calling Clinton a "latent homosexual," Coulter replied, "Yeah," and mentioned, apparently in support of her claim, "passages" she had "memorized" in the so-called Starr Report -- former independent counsel Kenneth Starr's report to the House of Representatives, resulting from his investigation into the Monica Lewinsky controversy.
- On the July 27, 2006, edition of MSNBC's Hardball, referencing Coulter's "latent homosexuality" comment on The Big Idea the night before, Matthews asked Coulter, "How do you know that Bill Clinton is gay?" Coulter responded, "I don't know if he's gay. But [former Vice President] Al Gore -- total fag." She went on to defend her theory about Clinton's sexuality by stating that "everyone has always known, widely promiscuous heterosexual men have, as I say, a whiff of the bathhouse about them." Coulter claimed she was "just kidding" about Gore, but said of her theory about Clinton, "It's not only not a joke, it's not even surprising."
- On the June 6, 2006, broadcast of NBC's Today, host Matt Lauer provided a forum for some of the more controversial statements in Coulter's book, which Lauer read aloud and asked her to explain, including her claim that liberalism is the "opposition party to God" and that "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths" as much as the 9-11 widows. The interview was Coulter's third appearance in eight months on Today.
Pressed by Lauer to defend her statement that the widows were "enjoying their husbands' deaths," Coulter responded: "Yes, they're all over the news." She criticized the widows for "speak[ing] out using the fact that they're widows" and "using their grief" and "the fact that you lost a husband" to make "a political point while preventing anyone from responding." She further argued that "the Left" exploits a "doctrine of infallibility," and that "[i]f they have a point to make about the 9-11 Commission, about how to fight the war on terrorism," they "put[] up Cindy Sheehan ... put[] out these widows." As a result, Coulter said, conservatives "always have to respond to someone who just had a family member die" and appear to be "questioning the authenticity of the grief."
- On the February 7, 2005, edition of CNBC's Kudlow & Cramer, Coulter said, "Would that it were so! ... That the American military were targeting journalists."
- Coulter was a guest for the entire October 19, 2004, edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, which was guest hosted by MSNBC senior political analyst Lawrence O'Donnell. During that hour, Coulter accused Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) of "gay-profiling" during the third presidential debate when he referred to Mary Cheney, Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter, as a lesbian. Coulter also accused Kerry of trying to "out-God [President] George [W.] Bush" and said that it was clear that "John Kerry does not believe in God.
Coulter's inflammatory comments have extended well beyond NBC:
- In a March 2 speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Coulter said she "can't really talk about" Edwards because "you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot.' " The CPAC audience applauded her comment. Several newspapers dropped Coulter's column following her remarks at CPAC.
- On the March 6 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Sean Hannity said to Coulter, "Most of the speech was about humor. You were telling jokes the whole time here," and went on to discuss Grey's Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington, who sought counseling after using the slur. Coulter responded by saying, "[T]hat's, of course, what I was referring to, and I don't think there's anything offensive about any variation of faggy, faggotry, faggot, fag. It's a schoolyard taunt. It means -- it means wussy. It means, you know, Hillary giving a speech in a fake Southern drawl -- that's faggy. A trial lawyer who weeps before juries is faggy. Lifetime-type TV, faggy." Coulter then referred to the word "faggot" as "a totally excellent word."
- In a May 16 column titled "Jerry Falwell -- Say Hello to Ronald Reagan!" Coulter, who proclaimed, "Let me be the first to say: I ALWAYS agreed with the Rev. Falwell," admitted that she disagreed with Falwell on "one small item" : He should have assigned blame for the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to "[Sen.] Teddy Kennedy [D-MA] and 'the Reverend' Barry Lynn," in addition to "the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians -- who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle." Coulter went on to compare Falwell to Jesus Christ ( "If you still think it isn't Christ whom liberals hate, remember: They hate Falwell even more than they hate me." ) and assert that Falwell did not blame all "the gays" for "ejecting God from public life," but rather "gays and lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle."
- In a November 30, 2006, syndicated column about the removal of six imams from an airplane in Minnesota after other passengers saw them praying prior to boarding, Coulter claimed that "profiling Muslims is more like profiling the Klan" than it is like profiling African-Americans, "because of the history of discrimination against blacks in this country." Coulter added: "What did we do to the Arabs? I believe Americans are the victims in that relationship."
- In her August 9, 2006, column, Coulter wrote that, without affirmative action, African-American Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) couldn't get a job "that didn't involve wearing a paper hat."
- Coulter titled her August 30, 2006, column on the Rhode Island Senate race: "They Shot the Wrong Lincoln." The headline is a reference to Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-RI), whom she excoriated throughout the piece -- calling him a "half-wit" and a "silver-spooned moron[]" -- while expressing her support for his challenger in the September 12 Republican primary, Stephen Laffey.
- The January 10, 2005, edition of the New York Observer printed a January 3 interview with Coulter, in which she stated that she was "fed up with hearing about ... civilian casualties" in Iraq; that "it would be fun to nuke" North Korea; that all feminists are "weak and pathetic" ; and that former President Bill Clinton "was a very good rapist." Coulter's personal website provided a link to the interview.
Coulter has also mused about potential acts of violence against people she doesn't like or disagrees with:
- Commenting on radio host Melanie Morgan's assertion that if New York Times executive editor Bill Keller were convicted of treason for the Times' reporting on the Bush administration's warrantless domestic eavesdropping program, she "would have no problem with him being sent to the gas chamber," Coulter said, "I prefer a firing squad, but I'm open to a debate on the method of execution." She later suggested that Times staff members should be "executed."
- Coulter suggested that Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA) is "the reason soldiers invented fragging" -- military slang meaning the intentional killing of a member of one's own unit.
- Coulter argued that the national debate during the Monica Lewinsky controversy should not have focused on whether former President Bill Clinton "did it," but rather "whether to impeach or assassinate" him.
- Coulter said of Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens: "We need somebody to put rat poison in Justice Stevens's créme brulée."
- As quoted in an August 26, 2002, New York Observer article, Coulter had previously stated: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." McVeigh's April 19, 1995, bomb attack destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people.
*Search of Nexis MSNBC, CNBC, and NBC News transcript databases: "Ann Coulter and allcaps (Coulter)" for all dates.
**Clarification: This item originally stated that, based on a Media Matters review of the Nexis database, Coulter's first appearance on MSNBC, CNBC, or NBC was apparently on April 28, 1997. However, according to Nexis, its coverage of MSNBC extends back only to November 8, 1999, while its coverage of NBC News extends back to January 1, 1997, and its coverage of CNBC extends back to January 4, 1995. According to news reports, Coulter was hired by MSNBC in 1996 and subsequently fired. In an October 16, 1998, Washington Post article, media critic Howard Kurtz wrote: "In the summer of 1996, Coulter, who didn't own a TV until she moved here [to Washington, D.C.], became a part-time talking head for MSNBC, the new kid on the cable block." Regarding Coulter's firing, Kurtz reported: "Coulter was debating a disabled Vietnam vet when she snapped: 'People like you caused us to lose that war.' (She says she didn't know the guest, appearing by satellite, was disabled.) That ended her MSNBC career."
Later, in an April 19, 2005, column, Kurtz further explained the circumstances surrounding Coulter's firing from MSNBC:
One personal quibble. In 1997, as an MSBNC commentator, Coulter was debating a disabled Vietnam veteran. She says she told him, "No wonder you guys lost." This, says Time, was "oft-misreported" by the likes of The Washington Post, which turned the line into a more personal attack: "People like you caused us to lose that war."
I can now reveal my source for that quote. It was: Ann Coulter, recounting the incident in explaining why MSNBC dropped her. I did note that, according to Coulter, the vet was appearing by satellite and she didn't know he was disabled.

Long Haul Sues UC, FBI, County
Attorneys for two civil rights group filed a federal court lawsuit Wednesday charging numerous violations by local law enforcement and the FBI in an Aug. 27 raid of Berkeley's Long Haul Infoshop.
Representatives of the FBI's Joint Anti-Terrorism Task Force, including UC Berkeley police, the Alameda County Sheriff's Department and the FBI conducted the two-hour-long raid.
Filing the action were attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF), which specializes in civil rights arising in the realm of electronic communication. The civil rights groups charge that the raid violated the constitutional rights of the Infoshop and East Bay Prisoner Support.
Police seized all the computers and computer disks they could find during their raid of the two-story brick office and meeting quarters at 3124 Shattuck Ave.
They were seeking information about the origins of threatening e-mails sent to UC Berkeley animal researchers by anonymous animal rights activists, according to an affidavit signed by campus police Detective William Kasiske, one of the named defendants in the action.
Other defendants included the UC Board of Regents, Alameda County and the FBI. Other named individual defendants are UC Berkeley Associate Vice Chancellor and Police Chief Victoria Harrison, three other campus police officers (Detective Wade MacAdam, Corporal Timothy J. Zuniga and Officer Bruce Bauer), Alameda County Sheriff Gregory J. Ahern and Lt. Mike Hart and FBI Special Agent Lisa Shaffer.
The plaintiffs are seeking to regain control of all information seized in the raid, to preserve its confidentiality, to bar any retaliation or surveillance resulting from the information and to obtain "compensation for the invasion of those interests that has already occurred."
The action is based on 10 separate counts, including alleged violations of the First and Fourth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, three civil rights sections of the state constitution, the Privacy Protection Act, the California Penal Code, trespass, the California Civil Code and a claim for declaratory relief.
No monetary sum was specified for the "nominal, special and statutory damages" sought, though the action asks for treble damages wherever possible under the law. The suit also seeks to recover all legal costs.
"The Slingshot and EBPS computers were clearly marked and kept behind locked doors," said EFF Civil Liberties Director Jennifer Granick. "Yet the raid officers broke into the offices to take information these organizations collected and relied on to publish information to their readership.
"This is a blatant violation of federal law and the First and Fourth Amendments, interfering with the freedom of the press," she said in a prepared statement released Wednesday afternoon.
"As long as the government keeps the copies they made of these hard drives, they are continuing to violate the privacy of everyone who wrote or stored a document on the computers." said Michael Risher, staff attorney at the ACLU of Northern California, in the same prepared statement.
"We filed this lawsuit to protect fundamental rights and to stop these illegal searches from happening in the future," he said.
The Long Haul maintains a public computer access room where anyone can use computers in a separate second-floor room to go online.
The prisoner support group kept computers in a separate office in the building, which was padlocked when police staged their raid.
The Long Haul has its offices separate from the computer room, and computers seized included those used by Slingshot, a publication the Infoshop has published since 1988. It is housed in a separate office behind a locked door that was forced by officers at the time of their raid.
The lawsuit contends that the warrant was invalid on its face.
The Privacy Protection Act count singles out a federal statute that raises the legal bar for warrants that seek to confiscate materials from news media such as Slingshot, an EFF attorney has said.
UC Berkeley spokesperson Robert Sanders, who has been handling animal rights issues for the university, said that seizing the computers was essential in determining "who was threatening the lives of these researchers.
"We followed the letter of the law in pursuing these threats," he said.
Sanders said he couldn't make specific comments on the lawsuit because he hadn't seen the filing as of Wednesday afternoon.
The court filing is available online at www.eff.org/press/archives/2009/01/14.

the Del Fuegos were a four-piece band from Boston who (at least for a time) won critical favor and a loyal cult following at home and on the road for their passionate, no-frills style. Formed in 1980, the Del Fuegos consisted of guitarist and singer Dan Zanes, his brother Warren Zanes on guitar, bassist Tom Lloyd, and drummer Steve Morrell. Steady gigging on the Boston club circuit won the band a potent local reputation, which began to spread along the East Coast with the band's first few low-budget tours. While the Del Fuegos began recording an album for legendary local label Ace of Hearts Records, in 1984 the famed Los Angeles indie Slash Records stepped in and signed them, releasing their first album, The Longest Day, in the fall of that year. (By this time, Steve Morrell had parted ways with the band, and former Embarrassment percussionist Woody Giessmann had taken over the drum kit.) One of the first albums produced by former Ronnie Montrose keyboard man Mitchell Froom, The Longest Day's mixture of attitude, guitar firepower, and heart-on-the-sleeve emotion clicked with both critics and fans, and the Del Fuegos seemed poised for a commercial breakthrough with their second album, 1985's Boston, Mass.
Stand Up received harsh reviews and little support from fans, despite the Del Fuegos' appearance on an extended tour with noted fan Tom Petty (who also guested on Stand Up), in which the group shared the opening slot with the Replacements. After Stand Up's disappointing reception, Woody Giessmann and Warren Zanes both quit the Del Fuegos, and the band was dropped by Slash. In 1989, Dan Zanes and Tom Lloyd decided to give the band another chance, bringing aboard guitarist Adam Roth and drummer Joe Donnelly and cutting a new album, Smoking in the Fields, but while critics were kinder to the new set than Stand Up, the album was a commercial bust, and within a year the Del Fuegos were history. Dan Zanes went on to a solo career and in time found success with a series of acclaimed children's albums, while Warren Zanes returned to music in 2002 after many years in academia with a fine solo album, Memory Girls.

Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
December 7, 1993
Dear Name*:
This is in response to your inquiry and our telephone conversation regarding certain provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA).
Name* currently has an employee on FMLA leave. During the leave the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays will occur. The employee is substituting paid sick and vacation leave for the unpaid FMLA leave. It is the Name* policy not to grant holiday pay for any employee who takes a personal leave or educational leave. You ask if the employee is entitled to holiday pay for the three holidays while on FMLA leave.
During our telephone conversation you stated that the personal leave and educational leave you referenced in your letter are forms of unpaid leave. You were not sure what the Name* policy is regarding holiday pay during periods of paid leave such as vacation.
If the employee is entitled to receive holiday pay while on paid leave (e.g., vacation leave) the employee is entitled to holiday pay when the paid leave is being substituted for unpaid FMLA leave. In accordance with the Name* policy, the employee would not be entitled to holiday pay when the employee is taking unpaid FMLA leave. As we discussed, if the employee is entitled to holiday pay while substituting paid leave for unpaid leave, the fact the employee received pay for one or more days in the form of holiday pay would not extend the employee's leave entitlement. For example, if the employee is paid holiday pay for one day, the employee does not then receive 12 weeks and one day of FMLA leave. The entitlement is still 12 weeks.
Hopefully this has been responsive to your inquiry. If I may be of further assistance you may reach me at (202) 219‑8412.
Director, Division of Policy and Analysis

The New Baby Code: Happy, Healthy Baby Tips for the Modern Mom
I am a stay at home mom, entrepreneur and the creator of an online video series that teaches new mom's how to raise a happy, healthy baby. I currently have a five month old son and have gathered all of the research I have done into a comprehensive program. While pregnant I began to research information about raising a happy, healthy baby and I found that while information existed, it was not well coordinated. My goal is to improve the world by educating new parents on important modern considerations regarding raising a happy, health baby.
This product broadly targets all new parents and pregnant women. I would like to appeal to their need/desire to raise healthy children. They are likely the type of person who conducts online research on topics such as vaccinations, toy safety, 'best' baby products, importance of organic products, and nutrition for their self and their children. They probably want to know how celebrities raise their children since celebrities have access to the best resources.
I have 2 ideas that I like (below) but feel free to be creative if you think of something fun. I want a cartoon graphic that plays off of the words "Baby Code" and "Modern Mom" in the title of the product. I also want the images to represent health so the baby is a little plump and the mom is athletic. The title "TheNewBabyCode.com" should be in the logo. Please no clipart or stock images. I like the type of image on these webpages: http://www.letstalkmotherhood.org/
I would like to model the mom and baby after me and my son. Real simple features are fine. To get an idea of what we look like, please go to my blog:
1. Mom has dark red hair in a pony tail.
2. Baby has dark red curl in the middle of forehead, blue eyes, and healthy belly.
3. Baby should be wearing only cloth diaper with pins
A baby boy at a chalkboard instructing a mom in a classroom. The board would display 'code' such as "x+y = happy; and beneath it a+b=healthy". The mom is sitting at a desk in the classroom.
Another idea is to have mom carrying the baby in a backpack . The baby has a map or guidebook and is pointing off in the distance, showing the mom where to go. The mom should be in more casual clothes like shorts and a tshirt.
The logo will be used on the website (banner) and on print materials.

I have the absolute most perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe to share today. The best part is, it only makes two cookies. So you can indulge in these single serving cookies without having a huge batch sitting around to tempt you. They also whip up very quickly, and all in one small bowl.
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 firmly packed tablespoons of dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk - discard or set aside egg white for a different use
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 3 heaping tablespoons of semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave safe bowl, heat butter just until it starts to melt and is softened. Blend softened butter, sugars, salt, and vanilla together by hand.
Add egg yolk and stir again.
Add baking soda and flour and stir until combined.
Then stir in chocolate chips.
Form cookie dough into two balls and place on baking sheet.
The cookies will spread during baking, so make sure they are several inches apart.
Bake for about 8 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
Remove baking sheet from oven and give the baking sheet a firm, but careful bang on the counter top. This will deflate the cookie and give it a perfect wrinkly appearance.
Need a peanut butter fix? Try my recipe for just two peanut butter cookies.
If you don't have time for oven baked cookies, try my microwave recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup. It's another perfect single serve dessert.

What you'd expect from a Charlotte Gainsbourg studio offcuts album would be experimental arrangement, quirky instrumentals, understated vocals. Stage Whisper, to the listener's surprise, is not that; rather, it is a compact release of a mere seven tracks, filled with disco beats and softly-sung hooks.
The latest release from daughter of Eighties power couple Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin opens with a Goldfrapp-stylee belter. Lead single 'Terrible Angels' is, after looking at the video for the track, a strong contender for a sleekly-shot car advert. Nor as cringe as it sounds. Over thumping bass and between tinny mechanical samples, Gainsbourg pleads in her sweetly intoned English accent "I want release from absolution, / I want release." This is daringly brash compared to any of her other previous outings – but God it's great to see that the usually reserved chanteuse has a dark side. And she continues to flaunt it teasingly throughout the record.
Stage Whisper is not short of collaborations, featuring guest appearances from Conor O'Brian of Villagers, Connan Mockasin, and most prominently IRM producer Beck. 'Memoir', is the closest to your expected Gainsbourg track in its musicality – yet lyrically it reeks of promiscuity, danger and sacrifice: "Take my body / Take it from me / It is not worthy of your memory." 'Got To Let Go' samples a lazified 'Paper Planes' by M.I.A; the contradiction between Charlotte's sometimes-whispering pure vocals Noah and the Whale vocalist Charlie Fink's gravelly tenors make for a sonically pleasing discourse, as they comfort each other with "Gotta make up your mind / All wounds heal in time / You've got to let go."
Although Stage Whisper comprises very much atypical pieces of music from Gainsbourg, it's still equally as lovable and interesting as her other works. She retains musical integrity whilst pushing what is a usually characteristically intriguing, coy singer-songwriter style into the realms of synth dance music. Not the archetypal Miss Gainsbourg we know and love, but this is pure disco pop - who'd o'thunk it? Whatever genre of album she creates, Charlotte finds it difficult to put a foot wrong.

Has this ever happened to you? You purchase a piece of clothing/bedding/furniture because it was inexpensive. Unfortunately, after a few times of wear/washing/usage, the item no longer looks/feels the same, in fact, it starts to fall apart quickly.There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to save money, but it's important to know frugality doesn't mean we should purchase cheap items.
What a glorious week we've had here at Houston, are you enjoying the sunning and warm weather as much as we have? We know it's kind of a bummer that there was only a total of 3 days of Winter this season, but hey, we didn't choose to live in Texas to be buried in snow, right?On average, there are 204 sunny days per year in Houston. This piece of factoid bring about this week's topic: WINDOWS! Do you have windows in your home?
(Whispers) Hello there, We meet again. This week we want to bring up something that's very important for everyone's sanity: Peace and Quiet... With the hustle and bustle of today's hectic life style, we understand how difficult it can be to quiet our minds. Do you find yourself feeling frustrated or agitated, even in the sanctity of your home?
Are you getting excited about the holidays? Will you be throwing parties that wow the crowd?This year we were invited to compete in Houston Design Center's 9th Annual Deck the Tables Holiday Tabletop Tour. Our theme was "Old Hollywood Glam", lots of gorgeous details were included.
Accessories, mirrors and lighting have always come in different metals but we continue to be delighted at all the new, creative eye catching designs! These smaller pieces can be combined with any types of materials including metals in other tones.
Bar carts have been making a "mad" comeback in interior design, inspired in part by the new vintage aesthetic seen lately on popular television shows! Bar carts are a fantastic and fun way to entertain and can compliment your style whether it is sophisticated and glamorous or hip and quirky!
Inspiration can come from many sources but nature has long been a go to for Interior Designers. We see freeform lines in furniture, accessories and lighting that may have been sparked by an organic element! Organic shapes have the ability to draw you in since they are so unique.
If you live in the south, you have waited for this weather all year long; temperatures in the 70's, no mosquitos and a chance to enjoy the outdoors without having to be immersed in water! Outdoor living areas have become more popular than ever as manufacturers are designing more durable products and designers are space planning beautiful designs for the outdoors from the very beginning of the home building process.
As designers, we really appreciate when a great deal of thought is put into designing a piece of furniture. It has to look good from all angles! When a chair has that extra attention to detail it really stands out!
As the weather cools and the leaves change colors (or if you live in Houston, the pine needles fall) we are drawn to cozier fabrics, and nothing says fall like plaid! This traditional pattern is transitioning straight from the runways into home décor!
Throughout history, the chair has symbolized different
periods of history like no other piece of furniture. The chair has been witness
to an ever changing evolution of interiors; from Ancient Greece, to Medieval times to
Mid-Century. Chairs pose a design challenge because they need to combine form,
function and be aesthetically beautiful!
One of the best ways to visually expand a space is to add a
mirror! Mirrors can add depth and dimension to a space as well as adding
brightness and luminosity. With the correct placement of mirrors, you can
reflect and emphasize a gorgeous design!
love luminous, sparkling things like crystal and glass, but acrylic has the added
benefit of not breaking, chipping or shattering! Although
acrylic furniture gives a space a weightless, light and airy feel, it is
actually quite strong and heavy!
Once again, interior design is following
the runway fashions and birds, feathers and flocks are turning up in
accessories, art and even furniture! Designers are putting a modern twist on
these longtime favorite subjects with glamorous golden tones and creative
In this week's blog we will continue to explore how the
economic upswing is positively affecting the interior design world! Interior
designers and furniture designers are combining modern glamour with classic
sophistication to give us luxurious looks! The great thing about these bold and
bright metal accents and exquisite material choices is that they coordinate
effortlessly with modern, transitional and traditional design aesthetics!
Set in the idyllic rolling hills of Montgomery, Texas, a stunning home was designed with the client's inspirations, interests and treasures collected over a lifetime of traveling! This home exudes traditional warmth with a transitional twist. Every room that you enter reveals a charming new surprise. The final design project is a culmination of designer vision and client input to give them the forever home of their dreams!
One way to add personality and whimsy to a room is to
incorporate animals! In years past we saw a lot of owls and foxes but this year
elephants and fish are popping up in designs everywhere! Using animals in your
interior design can help define the overall feel of the space.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insuffient meat content, mixed quality ingredients, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product, in meal form. There is a further meat meal ingredient 7th on the ingredient list. This is far too far down to make any substantial contribution to the overall meat content of the food. We note it is a fish ingredient, but we find no sign on the manufacturer website of a guarantee that they use only ethoxyquin-free protein sources in the product (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish ingredients, but which is banned or heavily regulated in human food due to the belief that it is carcinogenic).
The main grains in the food are rice, spelt and barley. All are decent quality grains. We note that chicken fat is the fourth ingredient in the food. Research at Purdue University has identified fat in the top four ingredients of dry food as a factor increasing the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. We assume the egg ingredient in this food to be whole eggs, which is appreciated. Tomato pomace is filler, as is rice bran which is a grain fragment. The protein content of the food is boosted by hydrolysate, which is not a high quality ingredient.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
We appreciate the range of fruits/vegetables in the food but we note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.

Yeah, another carry-over from the other place. But perhaps it's a good thing, because I can revisit it and remember the people I've added that I forgot
The following List features several people - artists, mostly - who, when I amass the appropriate time and technology, will be systematically hunted down, captured and thrown into a machine where then I will extract their talent and awesomeness for me to consume and absorb. Or maybe something like the movie Misery. Or I will simply kill them and eat their brains, I dunno...in short, these are people who I admire so much that I want to kill them.
In no particular order:
10er Bradley of 6x9 College
Ewan "War" Baird of Digital War
Mr. Bob Oosterwijk of Star Bored
Steve Stacy of Newton's Theory (and quite a few other works as well), and more specifically his work on KeenReality TV
Michael Derenge of Pointless
The Loser Hero of Twice Destined
Bleedman of Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi
Aimee "Humbug" Chow of Tales of Pylea
"Soap Committee" of Deity Permit and Miss Whore
Miguel Caron of White Hydra
Frank Cho of Liberty Meadows
Kate "Komiyan" Ashwin of Darken
Josh Sortelli of Elf Only Inn
Roman Wunderlich of The B-Movie Comic
The List is neither complete nor all-inclusive.

|American Heart Association Eat Less Salt
To cut down on sodium in your diet, you have to do much more than throw out the salt shaker.

That's where American Heart Association Eat Less Salt steps in. With this healthy lifestyle book, you'll learn how to monitor your current sodium intake, reduce the high-sodium products in your kitchen, read and understand food labels, know which popular foods are salt traps, keep sodium in check while eating out, and plan lower-sodium weekly menus without sacrificing taste.
