About Beaver Creek
Nothing defines "first-class resort" as perfectly as Beaver Creek, with its immaculately groomed slopes, charming village, heated pathways, escalators and some of the best skiing and snowboarding Colorado has to offer. This family-friendly village is just a couple of minutes up the hill from the conveniences found in Avon, but it offers a world-class resort living experience that feels worlds away. The 18-hole premier golf course has some of the most picturesque holes in the valley, while wintertime skiing offers guests a unique village-to-village experience connecting Beaver Creek to Bachelor Gulch and Arrowhead. The Vilar Performing Arts Center attracts big-name acts throughout the winter and summer months, offering a performance schedule so diverse that it rivals what you'd find in large cities. The Resort's slogan, "Not exactly roughing it," captures its elegance and luxury perfectly. Real estate includes condominiums near and around the Village's core, where European architectural influences transport residents and guests abroad. Impressive ski-in/ski-out homes scattered around Beaver Creek's base areas, as well as golf course properties below the village core, round out this gated community that's quaint in size but massive in its beauty, luxury, privacy and charm. Beaver Creek Resort is consistently ranked among the best ski areas in North America. Known for its impeccable service, pristine grooming, steep-and-deep runs, and the Vail Valley's home to World Cup alpine skiing with the annual Birds of Prey men's ski races, Beaver Creek offers a skiing and snowboarding experience that's hard to match anywhere in the country. When bakers serve warm chocolate chip cookies every day at the base of the mountain to boot, who could complain?

Veteran Health Indiana
Billing and Insurance
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has established guidelines for veterans and their copayments.
Any co-payments due can be paid upon checking out of the medical center. Co-payments may be made at the Agent Cashier window, first floor, next to the Pharmacy (room C-1073).
Veterans who do not make their co-payments upon checking out will receive a bill at their address of record within 30 days after their stay or appointment.
You can also use a very handy system called the HRC (Health Revenue Center). Call toll-free, 866-279-3677, Monday - Friday, 8am - 8pm EST.
Because copay rates may change annually, they are published separately. Current year rates can be obtained at: https://www.va.gov/healthbenefits/cost/copay_rates.asp.
This short video explains VA's congressional established copayment requirements.
If you have any questions about your copay balance, please contact our Patient Accounts at (317) 988-3135.
Other Health Insurance
The Department of Veterans Affairs now bills private health insurance companies for care received by their enrollees. You should bring your insurance card with you for your appointment and present it during the check-in process. What's in it for me?
The Department of Veterans Affairs does not bill Medicare or Medicaid at this time. You may, however, wish to review information for veterans about the new Medicare prescription drug benefits.
Private Health Insurance
Private health insurance coverage through a Veteran or Veteran's spouse is insurance provided by employer, Veteran or other non-federal source.
VA health care is not considered a health insurance plan.
VA is required to bill private health insurance providers for medical care, supplies and prescriptions provided for treatment of Veterans' nonservice-connected conditions. Generally, VA cannot bill Medicare, but can bill Medicare supplemental health insurance for covered services.
All Veterans applying for VA medical care are required to provide information on their health insurance coverage, including coverage provided under policies of their spouses. Veterans are not responsible for paying any remaining balance of VA's insurance claim not paid or covered by their health insurance, and any payment received by VA may be used to offset "dollar for dollar" a Veteran's VA copay responsibility.
What's in it for me for providing health insurance information?
- You will not be responsible for any unpaid balance that the insurance carrier does not pay except for VA copay.
- Payments from your private health insurance carrier may allow us to offset part or all of your copay.
- Many private health insurance companies will apply VA health care charges toward the satisfaction of your annual deductible.
Insurance Coverage and Eligibility for VA Health Care
Your insurance coverage or lack of insurance coverage does not determine your eligibility for treatment at a VA health care facility.
Risks of Giving Up Your Private Insurance
What should you do with your private health insurance if you are accepted into VA health care? You could save of money if you dropped the insurance, but there are some things you should consider.
- What about your non-Veteran family members?
VA does not normally provide care for family members of Veterans enrolled in VA's health care program. If you drop your private health insurance, they may have no health care coverage.
- What would happen if you are disenrolled from VA's health care program?
There is no guarantee that in subsequent years Congress will appropriate sufficient funds for VA to provide care for all enrollment Priority Groups. This could happen if you are enrolled in one of the lower Priority Groups. This would leave you with no health care coverage.
- Do I still need Medicare Parts A and B if I receive my health care from VA?
VA does not require a Veteran to have Medicare Part A or B to be enrolled in VA health care. However, a Veteran may want to consider their total health care needs before changing any insurance coverage.
- What would happen if you drop your Medicare Part B coverage?
If you cancel your Medicare Part B Coverage, you need to know that you cannot be reinstated until January of the following year, and you may be penalized for reinstatement.
For these reasons, VA encourages you to keep your private health insurance.

Arthur W Howe III, 88, formerly of Chestnut Hill, a decorated war hero and local insurance executive, died of lung disease March 10 in Charleston, S.C.
Mr. Howe was a proud member of the so-called Greatest Generation, growing up in the Chestnut Hill area during the Depression and going on to fight in World War II. He left Williams College at the outset of World War II to enter the Naval Aviation Cadet program.
He became a commissioned officer and served in numerous air battles in the Pacific Theater before he was shot down and captured in 1944 by the Japanese at the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
In a remarkable coincidence, after his fighter plane was hit, Mr. Howe's life was saved from enemy artillery fire by his childhood friend, longtime Philadelphia City Councilman and Chestnut Hill resident W. Thacher Longstreth. Unbeknownst to Mr. Howe, Longstreth had left Princeton University also to become a Naval pilot. He was flying from another aircraft carrier but engaged in the same battle.
In a story recounted often by Longstreth, the two recognized each other in mid-air while Mr. Howe was preparing to eject from his burning plane. Longstreth performed a series of maneuvers to direct fire at enemy ships and ground encampments that allowed Mr. Howe to land safely in the water.
Mr. Howe was the first captive in the battle and, along with other U.S. airmen, was eventually sent to Japan's most brutal prison camp, the Ofuna Interrogation Center, also known as the "Torture Camp." Mr. Howe survived six months of continuous torture and interrogations at the hands of the center's sadistic head guard, a pharmacist nicknamed "Congo Cho," later sentenced to death by the War Crimes Tribunal.
After his release from prison in 1945, Mr. Howe submitted to the military a detailed account of the camp and its treatment of prisoners, but he would never speak again about his experience until near his death.
Mr. Howe received numerous citations, including the Air Medal, Purple Heart, POW Medal, and the Presidential Unit Citation. After serving in the Korean War, he later went on to become a test pilot, flying 25 different types of aircraft, including the Navy's first jet aircraft, and setting a number of speed records.
As a pilot testing planes made by the Chance Vought aircraft company, he became a member of the Caterpillar Club for having to parachute out of a disabled aircraft. He also was a member of the elite 1,000 MPH Club, as one of the first people to fly a fighter plane more than 1,000 mph. He later became one of the first pilots to break the sound barrier.
Mr. Howe retired from the Navy in 1962 to take a job in public affairs at the Philadelphia-based Insurance Company of North America, now Cigna. He went on to become president of the Insurance Company of North America Foundation. While in that role, Mr. Howe worked closely with Philadelphia mayors and civic leaders on everything from the initial "Earth Day" to putting together an exhibit of the history of firefighting.
Mr. Howe and his wife of 54 years, the former Jean Craig, lived in Chestnut Hill until 1980 before moving to Kiawah Island, S.C., where they retired and participated in the island's development and growth. Mr. Howe later joined the board of directors of the Bee Street Home that conceived and built Bishop Gadsden, a retirement community outside Charleston where he and his wife would move.
Born in Philadelphia, the son of Arthur W Howe, Jr. and Willie Moss Howe, also of Chestnut Hill, Mr. Howe attended St Paul's School in Hanover, Maine, and attended Williams College. He completed his education at the University of Pennsylvania.
He was a member of the Exchange Club and served on the vestry at the Church of our Savior. He also was an active tennis player and a former member of the Philadelphia Cricket Club.
In addition to his wife, Mr. Howe is survived by a son, Arthur Howe IV of Wyndmoor; a daughter, Helen Turnage, and a stepdaughter, Lisa Mittnacht, both of Charleston; stepsons Frederic and Craig Asche of Charleston; a sister, Rosemary Wetherill, and nine grandchildren.
Family and friends are invited to a visitation at the Howe's Cottage, Bishop Gadsden, 3 Bishop Gadsden Way, Charleston, S.C. 29412, from 3-5:30 p.m. Sunday, March 20. Memorial donations may be made to the Bishop Gadsden Resident's Fund at the above address.

Metro-North is in a negative spotlight again amid new questions about the commuter rail line's workers and what they're doing when they're supposed to be on the clock.
An internal investigation found padded time sheets, including workers who took trips to Pennsylvania for cigarettes and fireworks while they were on the clock, according to The New York Times.
The New York Times, which first reported on the investigation, says the information is contained in a draft letter, dated Dec. 3, from Inspector General Barry Kluger.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Metro-North Spokesman Aaron Donovan released a statement Thursday saying the report "is a draft that was never delivered to Metro-North Railroad, so we cannot comment on its particular findings." But he said the rail system "has been working closely with the Inspector General during his investigation and will aggressively take appropriate disciplinary action when we receive a final report. "
"All Metro-North employees are expected to work a full day for a full day's pay. We will not tolerate any behavior that falls short of that standard. We are installing GPS on all our vehicles in response to an earlier report from the Inspector General, and we have also initiated a comprehensive review with both the Inspector General and MTA Auditor General to strengthen internal controls within Metro-North's Maintenance of Way department," he said.
Still, some commuters couldn't believe the scathing internal report released on Metro-North.
"That's mismanagement no matter where it happened whether it happens at Metro North or a private company it's just mismanagement," said Melissa Ciotoli of Westport.
Mismanagement is just a small bit of what the inspector general uncovered, according to State Sen. Toni Boucher.
"This is using taxpayers money in a fraudulent way. Falsifying time sheets, public automobiles for private use," Boucher said.
Boucher is troubled by the apparent lack of oversight, especially at a time when safety is of an utmost concern to riders after a series of accidents, mostly recent the one in the Bronx in early December that left four dead.
"And it should not be tolerated. Not at all. People's heads need to roll with regards to something like this," said Boucher.
The investigation revealed one crew was driving aimlessly when they were supposedly doing overtime.
"As much as that sounds problematic I'm much more focused on the timeliness of the trains," said Sam Walker of Weston. Walker said he feels the trains have deteriorated in terms of service since the derailment in Bridgeport in May and a worker was struck and killed by a train in West Haven later the same month.
"You'd be kidding yourself if you're not a little more terrified each time you hear a bump or a turn or a twist," Walker added.

Hi! Thanks for the tutorial on this! I have already instituted a few on my blog. But I have additional questions.
I noticed you have an icon in the address bar, rather than the blogger "B". How do you do this?
Also, in the post header, your date is off to the right of the title, I like that.
2 more things..
How do you get your images so large. I attach mine at the "large" setting, but its never this big!
And the links on the sidebar are images (cute ones, too), how do I do that?
Thanks for your help!!! I love your blog!

Hi Swash + A Sprinkle, thanks for asking, I'm planning a Pt 2 post (hopefully soon) that will cover most of these. As for the address bar icon, it's a Favicon that can be uploaded under Design in the Blogger dashboard; and post images can be made larger by dragging them with your mouse (or going to Edit Html within the post & typing in the Width & Height px). Hope that helps!

Missing "Superman" movie producer Ilya Salkind was found alive in Mexico Thursday according to friend and fellow movie producer James Buccelli. No other details were released.
Buccelli told NBCLA Salkind disappeared last Monday and that friends and family reported the disappearance to police in Mexico City.
Buccelli said the website dedicated to the disappearance would be updated later this afternoon with more details. Buccelli would only tell NBCLA Salkind was "alive" and he would not comment about Salkind's condition. No information about the disappearance was released.
U.S. & World
Ilya went missing from his family home in Tepozlan Mexico about one hour south of Mexico City in Morales County and was last heard from on Sunday night, January 30, 2011 at about 8:00 p.m after speaking with friends and business partners in Los Angeles, CA, although it is believed that he left his house on Monday, January 31, 2011 to do some errands and for a dental appointment.
Ilya is created with producing and supervising (with his deceased father) the filming on "Superman" and "Superman II," simultaneously, as the father and son team had done with "The Three Musketeers" and "The Four Musketeers." Later, Ilya also acted as Executive Producer on "Superman III" and was involved in the production of numerous other films including most recently "Young Alexander the Great."

Tagged: Judgement Day
Judge Lest Ye Be Judged
Sad news: only one more day until the world ends, dear readers. Indeed, it's days like today when I really wish the Mayans knew what the hell they were talkin' about.
Instead, we all wait in weary anticipation of a 2,000 year old Jewish zombie (they call him "The Jesus") so he can come down from the skies and act as Judgey McJudges-a-lot.
Ordinarily, I ain't much of a judgmental person. I let folks be as they be, even if they be crazy. But if The Jesus — a supposed paragon of virtue — is gonna come down and act a judgin' fool, then I'd like to get in on that action too, just for today.
So here ya go. Let the judging begin!
Yankees fans, I'm judging you. You lost six measly games in a row and suddenly the sky is falling?! When my Cubs fans friends (yes, I have a few) watch their team lose six games in a row they call it "April". And don't even get me started on M's fans or Pirates fans… jeesh.
Mitt Romney, I'm judging you. Come on, dude. How can you pass universal healthcare in your state and still call yourself a Republican?!? Not only that, but how am I supposed to take you seriously when you believe in a book that was "translated" by a whackjob "aided" by an invisible bearded man in the sky?
National Football League… oh yes, I'm judgin' the hell out of you. Didn't you learn ANYTHING from baseball?!?! Good grief! Don't you know that the strike of '94 nearly KILLED the national pastime? You may benefit from having less intelligent constituents, but even the ignorant have a hard time forgiving betrayal. Just ask Whitney Houston.
Donald Trump, I'm judging you. The birther thing, well, I can see past that. But your hair. Seriously. It's not funny anymore. It's disturbing. I'm sure there's a crime being committed there.
And finally, as we prepare to say 'see ya' to the cosmos…
MLB throwback uniforms, I'm judging you. If we're gonna bring back the baby blue road duds… if we're gonna bring back the Oakland puke yellow tops… if we're gonna bring all this stuff from the 70s and 80s back in earnest, then we need to stop making them in the baggy size. Everyone in his/her right mind knows that those only work if we can see some protruding jock action.
Hate me 'cuz it's Thursday, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

This is a joint-piece we worked on and it was a nightmare with Blogger/Blogspot repeatedly going down. Those wanting more links should be advised of a tool called "Google." Typos provided for your enjoyment.
The media's collapse, said actor and activist Jane Fonda in an earlier speech, shielded the government's own failures.
Telling the story of Abeer Qasim Hamza, a 15-year-old Iraqi who was raped and murdered by U.S. soldiers, Fonda criticized the news media's impotence in covering the war.
"The cold-blooded murder of Abeer and her family is a tragedy," Fonda said. "But it's almost as great a tragedy when her story and all the other stories that are difficult to hear and difficult to accept are buried in the back of news pages and quickly shuffled off the nightly news." She added: "A truly powerful media is one that can stop a war, not start one."
A founder of the Women's Media Center, which advocates for greater representation of women in media and in newsrooms, Fonda said American journalism takes pride in balance but "forgets that the world is not divided only by right and left."
"During the coverage of the 2004 elections," she added, "journalists were more than twice as likely to turn to a male source than a woman."
The above, noted by Cindy, is from Trevor Aaronson's "Fonda Wraps up Media Conference: Advocate for women in newsrooms says journalism forgets divide not just right and left" (Memphis Commerical Appeal via Common Dreams). That's a jumpoing off point for a joint entry. Participating are:
The Third Estate Sunday Review's Dona, Jess, Ty, Ava and, me, Jim;
Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Screeds and Attitude;
Kat of Kat's Korner (of The Common Ills);
Betty of Thomas Friedman Is a Great Man;
C.I. of The Common Ills and The Third Estate Sunday Review;
Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix;
Mike of Mikey Likes It!;
Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz;
and Wally of The Daily Jot
Fonda's comments strike at the heart of the problems with media today. They address the issue of Abeer, Iraq, and the portrayal of the 'other' (anyone who's non-White, non-middle-aged, non-straight, and non-White). As Rebecca has argued, Abeer's story is the story of Iraq.And what did the media do with it?
Independent media ignored it. Early on (June), it looked like there might be some interest in but that was quickly dropped as independent media marched off elsewhere. It never really bothered to pick up the story after it was done completely ignoring Iraq. No article in The Nation ever ran on Abeer or has run as of today. A fourteen-year-old girl was gang raped, murdered, her five-year-old sister was murdered, her parents were murdered and the initial blame for the war crimes was 'insurgents.' The reality was that the war crimes were committed by non-Iraqis. In November, James P. Barker admitted to his involvement in the war crimes (he entered the home as part of a plan to rape Abeer and kill her and others in the house). His court confession also included the actions of others. Since they've yet to be tried, or to confess, you can toss "alleged" in front of their names if you like.
But Abeer was raped and killed and where was the media when the details emerged?
The Washington Post, the Associated Press, Off Our Backs and Robin Morgan were accounted for, they weighed in. Where was everyone else?
The New York Times specialized in a funny sort of reporting. Before the defense could present their legal argument in an Article 32 hearing that was held in August, the New York Times, supposedly presenting objective reporting, managed to run an opinion piece as reporting and somehow managed to argue the defense's case. In a piece published before the defense had presented their case. In a defense that a military legal expert said had no known basis in legal history. Wow. Those New York Times reporters (Carolyn Marshall and Robert F. Worth) are certainly amazing. They predicted it all -- and without any help from the defense! What seers are they.
The New York Times specialized in another kind of reporting on the war crimes -- never mentioning Abeer's name. To name the victim would be to give a face to her and since their own 'reporting' had already crossed the line into advocacy journalism (not anything wrong with advocacy journalism but the paper self-presents as 'objective') it was very clear that their interest wasn't in the truth, wasn't in reporting what happened, but in rendering Abeer and what happened to her invisible. How do you, as reporters at the paper repeatedly did, cover the trial of men accused of gang raping and murdering Abeer and never manage to mention her name?
You do it very carefully when you're interests are in managing and mitigating public opinion. Better to make her a faceless victim if you're interested in continuing to sell the illegal war which the paper is interested in doing.
Now the paper's actions should have been called out. So you might think you got that. You didn't. If in no other way, The Nation could have covered Abeer as a media topic. There media columnist could have addressed the way the paper of record rendered Abeer invisible. But he wasn't interested in that. AlterPunk was interested in useless articles such as his lengthy take on why the New York Times shouldn't run unsigned editorials -- a column that ran in a magazine (The Nation) which runs unsigned editorials.
He was interested in getting upset that he'd recently learned the New York Times' policy on quoting from comments on websites was questionable. In a piece where they rushed to lynch Janet Jackson -- a piece riddled with inaccuracies, only a few of which resulted in corrections by the paper -- it was apparently okay to 'doctor' a quote from a website. The paper is aware of the docotring -- at every level -- and they issued no correction on that. If AlterPunk wants to feign shock about the Times' 'quoting' from websites, he might do better to know the paper's history on it.) (Altering quotes, failure to research your articles, presenting half-baked theories that blow up with the most basic examination and not even grasping that just because you say something was or wasn't a number one doesn't make it true didn't result in the arts section's version of Judith Miller being banned from the paper for anyone interested. We could also touch on the topic of allowing people to create titles for themselves and the paper running with them. That started in the arts section and then, as the Times well knows up through the editorial offices -- carried over to the front page of the news section. The defense on that, expressed by the editor responsible for the front page piece, was that the executive in question didn't like his actual title so he preferred to use a title that doesn't exist. That may be the executive's wish but if the company wanted him to have that title, they'd give it to him. (They haven't and his being billed by a title he doesn't hold has caused anger at the company and caused those still expressing disbelief to note that when you're 'friends' with writers at the paper you can write your own ticket in what passes for 'objective' reporting.) Maybe the Cindy Brady of the faux left can next tackle that?
Probably not because it's safer for all involved (safer translates as coverage and book reviews) to offer up useless topics (unsigned editorials? A pressing issue in the bull pens of high school papers, no doubt) .
And independent media played 2006 safe and cowardly with few exceptions.
Today, John Nichols and Katrina vanden Heuvel write of Dr. Martin Luther King. It may be less than generous to note that the magazine's choosing to note him on the federal holiday in his honor. It's pointing the obvious to note that the passing last year of Coretta Scott King produced no article -- in print or 'online exclusive.' So it strikes us as a more than apalling that the same magazine who didn't appear to give a damn about Coretta Scott King now rushes pieces on MLK to their website.
Like Abeer, Coretta Scott King meets the defnition of an 'other.' African-American, a woman, she couldn't get any traction. The media critic for The Nation couldn't even note that the paper of little record didn't editorialize about her passing -- though, in the same week, they could note a playwright (and personal friend of Gail Collins) who died. Her passing didn't rate a column either. The closest to a column, and the only mention in the editorial section, was Bob Herbert's tacked on one paragraph noting she had died.
What does that say? What does the above say?
Quite a lot and if people want to address media reform, they better do seriously. The Nation is the left magazine with the largest circulation so we'll focus on it.
In 2006, when both Katha Pollitt and Naomi Klein were on leave while they worked on books, two prime spots were open to be temporarily filled. When two strong voices are absent and they happen to be female, you might think The Nation would fill those spots with women. But apparently having nearly wall to wall contributions from male writers wasn't quite enough for "Nobody Owns The Nation," they needed more male voices.
This operating belief goes a long way towards explaining why a freelancer placed her article on Abu Ghraib last year not with The Nation but with a fashion magazine (Marie Claire). The Nation should be leading and it isn't. That's in terms of what gets covered and who gets to cover it. (Already in 2007, their appalling low number of pieces written by women threaten to match the disgraceful numbers for 2006.)
Is the nation White, male, middle aged and straight in all regards? No, but if you got that impression from reading The Nation in 2006, your mistaken beliefs were certainly supported by the magazine.
Alternative media is supposed to provide an alternative, to present what media could be. (On a lower budget, granted.) Offering what the mainstream provides (often the worst it provides -- such as handicapping political races as though they were horse races) but with a left/Democratic spin (for many in independent media, the 'left' view is determined by what the DNC decides it is) isn't an alternative. It's a negative, a photographic negative, it's the bizarro world, it's just not an alternative.
An alternative requires providing an alternative. That requires covering topics that the mainstream isn't interested in. That requires creating the kind of media that demonstrates what is wrong with the current system.
If the extent of 'wrong' is that more Republican hacks are tossed on the airwaves than Democratic hacks, then The Nation is doing a wonderful job. If being a party organ for the Democratic Party is an alternative, congratulations to The Nation.
That would explain why coverage of students qualifies in the magazine as covering what an Iowan poli-sci student deemed "Eisnhower Democrats." Look, they're War Hawks, well funded one with the usual crowd of useless names speaking to them and funding them! Oh, look, here's another piece about 'activists' who are overjoyed by their 'success' (they farmed out volunteers to Congressional campaings) and who explain that sometimes you have to stop 'hugging a tree,' 'put on a suit,' and get down to business. Such business doesn't include serious concern over the environment as the dismissive 'tree hugging' reference telegraphs.
Meanwhile, in the real world, students organize to end the war, organize to rebuild in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, organize to halt the imprisonments at Guantanamo, organize (and lead!) on the immigrations rights issue.
The immigration rights issue? "Alternative" coverage apparently means you go down to the deep south and speak to White people opposed to immigrant rights. You also toss in a male (of course male) activist. You avoid the students who led the protests, who woke a sleeping nation. You avoid their bravery and maybe you even offer a slap to them that the Mexican flag shouldn't be carried at a protest. Now those words generally come from people who didn't participate in any of the protests so the words are as useless as the owners of the mouths uttering them.
Where is the place at the table for people of ethnicities and color, for women and LBGTs?
The Nation is looking for a publicity director. That's not going to change the opinions of students opposed to the magazine, students who see it as useless and judgmental of them, students who see their own work and the issues that matter to them ignored.
A new publicity director won't conceal the fact that 'equality' has a funny meaning at The Nation. Equality doesn't mean when two female columnists are on leave, you fill their posts with other male voices. Equality does seem to mean that you demonstrate how fair you are by criticizing Harry Belafonte. At last! African-Americans can be slammed equally at The Nation! (If undeservedly.) Now they can't get covered, Coretta Scott King's death demonstrates that, but they've 'achieved' enough at the magazine that they can be slammed.
Will a publicy director speak to the staff about how they conduct themselves in on air interviews?
We think she or he should. We think that's now a requirement after Laura Flanders was called everything but stupid on air. (Flanders an astute journalist, critic and broadcaster.) That hostile, patronizing, impatient and dismissive treatment didn't come from a guest billed as being on the right, it came from a Nation staffer (and Lyndon La Rouche refugee). We think that interview, the hostitility expressed towards Flanders, says a lot. How does anyone at the magazine come to believe it's okay to treat Flanders, or any woman, in such a manner? (It was bullying. Flanders stood her ground.)
Well it helps when the culture is predominately male, predominately straight, and predominately White. And we're speaking of the culture at the magazine. Media reform is suddenly an issue (for a week or so) and we're reminded of the 2006 issue on media reform which played like celebrity even if it didn't make for good reading. Having something to say wasn't apparently a requirement, just name value. (Which led to it playing out like the what-are-they-reading feature in Vanity Fair -- though in fairness to Van Fair, that's a tiny item in the magazine, not something they provide for pages and pages.)
Margaret Kimberley (Black Agenda Report) is very popular with this community, so let's get practical: when does she get invited to the table?
Or does she have to blindly cheer every Democrat to be included?
If impeachment was a topic worthy of a January 2006 cover, why is it a topic dropped when Nancy Pelosi announcing she is pulling it off the table? Last time we checked, she wasn't listed on the masthead of The Nation.
Independent media needs to show some independence. That's independence in thought and in coverage. Talk of media reform is meaningless if alternative outlets aren't willing to provide an alternative currently.
As 2006 drew to a close, CounterSpin finally found a woman they could interview for the full program (a practice common with male guests). We see that and her topic (the way the press covers war) as a big step in the right direction. But having lived through one of the worst years for independent media (2006), we're not about to act like media reform is something required of the mainstream and that the bulk of independent media has done a good (or even an okay) job in the last year. It hasn't.
It has not reaffirmed the core of democracy (that would require covering actions that included more than running for office or urging that readers vote). It has not practiced anything resmembling Brown v. Board in their own coverage. And we're all dying for the moment where a host (male or female) of a panel has the guts to stop a male, who repeatedly cuts off a female guest, by pointing out just how dismissive he's treating the woman and asking him why he thinks that treatment is acceptable? We're also dying to get something other than The Elector.
We're not interested in The Elector and we're not interested in linking to sop. A perfect example would be an article that David Enders has written. Does the writing qualify for sop? No. It's well written. But The Nation feels it's only worthy of 'online exclusive' status -- implying that they grade outside writers much more harshly than they do insiders. (Possibly they're under the mistaken belief that their print editions are awash with Iraq coverage?) While we're glad that both John Nichols and Katrina vanden Heuvel chose, on the MLK federal holiday, to note MLK, we're not interested in linking to the articles because of the magazine's own silence on Coretta Scott King. In fact, community wide we probably won't to link to anything from The Nation other than Naomi Klein or Katha Pollitt. Why?
Why bother? Why bother to link to a magazine that refuses to cover war resisters? They can't get ahold of Kyle Synder? (Puts them in the minority.) No, they just don't want to. They've demonstrated that throughout 2006 and the slam they printed on Ehren Watada is so offensive and does not pass the 'free speech' phrase that's used as a bully club.
Isn't it funny how free speech lets in Christopher Hitchens, La Rouche refugees and sexual predators but it doesn't let it people of color, it doesn't let it in women, it doesn't let in coverage of peace activists and demonstrations, and it doesn't let in war resisters.
Ehren Watada's beliefs about the illegality and the immorality of the war could be backed up with citations from (much earlier) coverage of Iraq that The Nation provided. So he takes a stand and they play dumb. That's not cutting it. At some point, when you know the war is wrong, you have to take a stand. Ehren Watada has done that. The Nation reads like its unsure. A war resister is a cover story, not a sidebar and especially not a sidebar after you've just printed a useless (unneeded and uninformed) quote from a man slamming Watada. That a magazine which says it is opposed to the illegal war continues to be unable to offer one editorial or column in support of Watada or any of the other war resisters to go public in the summer of 2006, while filling pages of the magazine week after week with useless trash like AlterPunk's nonstop shout outs to various men (someday he'll prove he's a real boy, just like Pinochio!) (and when that happens, he still won't correct his lie that Naomi Klein was a fashion consultant to the Gore campaign).
We're tired of it and we think media reform is a useless topic until independent media is willing to practice some of it themselves.

Holocaust ID Project Launched.
A project to trace hundreds of children who were displaced by the Holocaust has been launched by am American museum.
The campaign, run by the U.S Holocaust Memorial Museum is calling for information about more than 1100 children, depicted in a series of photographs which can be seen online. The photos were taken at refuge camps and children's homes across Europe at the end of the Second World War. Each photo shows the child holding a placard with their name on, there is also an index of all the children which can be searched by surname.
The hope is to track as many of these children down and capture their memories and testimonies before they fade away. The number of people who witnessed this tragic era of history first hand are rapidly diminishing, and it is important to capture as many memories as possible, before it is too late. So future generations can learn from humanity's past mistakes.

Sting, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Peter Gabriel Support Jailed Russian Punk Group
Sting, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Peter Gabriel have added their voices to the growing din of support for jailed Russian punk rockers Pussy Riot, who face seven years in prison if convicted of inciting religious hatred.
According to Rolling Stone, the group are on trial in Moscow after a performance in February at which they played a song protesting Russian President Vladimir Putin on the altar of Moscow's main Orthodox cathedral. The song included the line, "Holy Mother, send Putin packing!"
Anthony Kiedis and Flea from the Chili Peppers presented letters of support to Pyotr Verzilov, the husband of accused Pussy Riot musician Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, and Kiedis wore a Pussy Riot T-shirt on stage during a performance on Sunday in Moscow.
"It's appalling that the musicians from Pussy Riot could face prison sentences of up to seven years in jail. Dissent is a legitimate and essential right in any democracy and modern politicians must accept this fact with tolerance," Sting posted on his official web site. "A sense of proportion — and a sense of humor — is a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness. Surely the Russian authorities will completely drop these spurious charges and allow the women, these artists, to get back to their lives and to their children."
Peter Gabriel also wrote the musicians a letter of support, saying, "You have the right to make your own prayers from the heart. I hope you will be released very, very soon. We are all watching."
During opening arguments of their trial Monday (July 30), Tolokonnikova and her band mates, Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich, denied any criminal intent behind their actions. "If someone was offended by our performance in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, I am ready to recognize that we committed an ethical mistake," Tolokonnikova said in a statement her lawyer read aloud in open court (according to the New York Times). "This is exactly the error, since we did not have the conscious intention to offend anyone."
