we've got signatures, help us get to 30,000 by May 14, 2011
Animals all over the world are victims of cruelty and abuse.
The nations of the world must unite and create international guidelines for the treatment of animals.
Different countries with their various customs naturally treat animals differently. An international law can take into account cultural differences that affect the treatment of animals in different countries and create base standards of humane treatment. Gandhi said, "the greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it treats its animals." Guidelines for humane animal treatment would further the greatness of all nations, and help promote moral progress worldwide.
Encourage the United Nations to set standards for humane treatment of the world's animals.

For 30 years, U.S. News & World Report has been declaring which colleges and universities are the country's best and which don't make the grade.
The rankings — released Tuesday for 2014 — have been controversial nearly as long. But they've become part of the sometimes-overwhelming college search for students making a life-changing choice and parents preparing to help pay tens of thousands of dollars in tuition.
Ranking higher education
U.S. News & World Report released its 2014 rankings for colleges and universities Tuesday.
National schools
Brigham Young University, one of six schools at 62.
University of Utah, one of seven schools at 121.
Utah State University, one of eleven schools at 190.
Western regional schools
Westminster College, one of two schools at 22.
Southern Utah University, one of four schools at 71.
Weber State University, one of seven schools at 80.

This year, though, the debate over whether and how colleges can be ranked has a new urgency. Last month, President Barack Obama proposed creating a national higher education ranking system based on which colleges provide the best value — and tying those rankings to federal student aid.
The system, set to be designed by 2015 and in use by 2018, would take into account the percentage of students receiving Pell grants, average tuition, scholarships, student-loan debt and outcomes such as transfers and graduation.
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said last week his department plans to have staffers travel the country taking input before they craft such a system.
"We don't have any metrics yet. What the president has said is, 'We want to think through very carefully a meaningful rating system,' " he said, ensuring, for example, that colleges are not just enrolling disadvantaged students but also seeing them through to graduation.
"We're in no hurry here, and we'd love thoughtful opinions and advice from anyone who is interested," Duncan said in a telephone news conference hosted by the Education Writers Association.
'Blunt instrument' » The concept is potentially problematic for high school guidance counselor Bruce Hunter, who advises students at the private Salt Lake City college-prep school Rowland Hall.
"If these rankings from the federal government are going to have dollar signs on them," Hunter said, " … then I think they stand a chance of being counterproductive."
Rankings generally are a "very blunt instrument," he said.
"The biggest problem is to suggest to students that only a very limited number of quality university experiences are out there," he said. "The effect too often is that students and parents think places that are really wealthy or famous are the only colleges worth considering."
He encourages students to consider how they learn best, what kind of role they want to play in a school and the community, and what their values are.
And he points to other evaluations. Hunter likes the National Survey of Student Engagement, which asks college students to gauge how well they are learning — and eschews rankings — and Colleges That Change Lives, which aims to be a student-centered college search process.
The magazine Washington Monthly has been rating schools based on "public good" measures, such as recruiting and graduating low-income students, service and research. For 2013, it also ranked colleges deemed to be "Best for the buck," examining how well schools help nonwealthy students earn affordable, marketable degrees.
Among national schools, Utah State University finished at No. 13, with the University of Utah at No. 24.
Some Utah schools have expressed confidence in the president's proposal, saying the state's relatively low tuition could mean it also does well in the federal rankings he envisions.
Utah's rank » In the new rankings released Tuesday, U.S. News listed the U. as No. 121 among national schools, with USU at 190. LDS Church-owned Brigham Young University placed at 62.
Among regional schools: Westminster College ranked at 22; Southern Utah University, 71; Weber State University, 80.
Both BYU and the U. were ranked among the best schools for undergraduate business and engineering degrees. More ranking lists, including schools with the lowest debt loads at graduation, are available beginning Tuesday at usnews.com.Next Page >

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
Grade: C+ - we're solid, but old
Forwards: LaMarcus Aldridge – Gerald "Crash" Wallace - Nicolas Batum - Craig "Rhino" Smith - Luke "Chalupa" Babbit
The forward position for the Blazers is an interesting situation. Starting you have Gerald Wallace, and LaMarcus Aldridge, and off the bench you have Nic Batum and the Rhino. Let me cut to the chase, LaMarcus is an all-star, and our franchise player. This year, he has shown a developed offensive game as with 3 less minutes per game, he is averaging an extra point (22.8 per game up from 21.8) and an extra assist (2.7 per game up from 0.9) and one more rebound per game as the year before (8.7 rebounds from 7.9 rebounds). LaMarcus can play offense, he can defend and he is pretty complete as a forward can get. He can shoot the mid range shot, he has a post game, he can rebound, and play defense with the best of them. Aldridge is also an above average athlete, not on the level of a Blake Griffin, but he has strength and length on his side. Gerald Wallace, however, has shown to be up and down, having a metaphorically bipolar season. At home, he is a scrappy superman, averaging 18.9 ppg and 6 rbs along with 2 steals per game. He shoots 63.5% at home with 35.7% from three along with stellar defensive performances (e.g. versus Kevin Durant). However, he has proved to be completely different away from the Rose Garden. Away, he averages 8.1 ppg with 33.7% fg shooting and 13.6% from downtown. His 6/7th man counterpart, Nic Batum, has been a little more consistent. Batum has averaged 11.7 ppg 4 rebounds and 1 assist off the bench and, despite not reaching terms with the Blazers for a contract extension, has been putting a lot of effort into playing ball. At home he gets less minutes as crash goes into beast mode, but on the road he has shown to be above decent (getting 5 more minutes than at home per game). Batum shoots 49% fg away from the Rose Garden and 44.4% from downtown away from the Rose Garden. As of now, he knocks down the three ball most consistently for the Blazers and has really, along with Aldridge, been the bright spot on the road for the Blazers. That said, Batum suffers from not getting the ball as much as most Blazer fans would want and he is still overall inconsistent, showing flashes of his potential from time to time and being a nonfactor other times. Compared to the starting Wallace, he averages .187 win shares per 48 minutes as opposed to Gerald's .15 (Win shares are a calculation of how many wins a certain player contributes to a team. The league average per 48 minutes is .1 WS, meaning that the average player contributes to one tenth of a win over 48 minutes of playing time). Shooting percentage wise, Batum has both a higher shooting percentage as well as three point percentage. Both players are top notch defenders and can defend multiple positions.
Now let's get to the Rhino. The big bruising Craig Smith has surprised a lot of fans (including me) with his energy and strength when he plays. Even though he is "undersized" at 6-7 he makes up for his height in the weight department (265 lbs.). The Rhino has shown to be very consistent whenever he is on the court, grabbing a couple steals and shooting just over 50% per game both away and at home. His numbers don't stand out by any means, but he provides size, depth, and energy for the Blazers all things the Blazers desperately need. If you want to compare his win shares with other Blazers, he averages .182 per 48 minutes, compared to Nic Batum's .187 this season and LaMarcus Aldridge's .166 last season, he is doing pretty fine in that category. Now on to the next one and by the next one I mean Mr. Chalupa, Luke Babbit. The reason he is called "Chalupa" by me is because he gave the fans free Chalupas with one of his two three point shots this season. Already, his shooting percentage is way higher than last years (33.3% from 27.3%) and with the three ball, he's shown what he was drafted for, shooting (2 of 4 on the season). All kidding aside, Luke has shown like the work he did over the lockout summer actually benefitted his game a little and he is showing improvement. Despite that, and how much I love Chalupas, I doubt that Luke will ever break the rotation for the Blazers and will stay a bench to role player for however long his career is. Overall, the forwards are spotty in terms of consistency but have shown the most promise for the Blazers.
Grade: B+ - we could be very good in this department, if we were consistent.
Guards: Raymond Felton – Wesley "We$" Matthews – Jamal Crawford – Nolan Smith – Elliot Williams – Armon Johnson
The guard play for the Blazers has been… disappointing. On paper, the Blazers have scrappy Wes Matthews, a guard that runs a quick, fast paced offense in Raymond Felton, a star sixth man in Jamal Crawford, a "high basketball IQ" rookie in Nolan Smith, an athletic freak in Elliot Williams, and a young defensive guard in Armon Johnson. However, the guards have played far from their expected level. Raymond Felton, who is still adjusting to the team, has lower assist rate per game (6.8 from 8.3) in less minutes, he's scoring 5 points less, has a 19.3% turnover rate per 100 possessions, and he has a measly .06 win shares per 48 minutes, well below the league average of .1. Along with that, his shooting percentages have plummeted from 42.5% to just 37.4% from the field. His three point percentage dropped from 45.9% when he was at Denver to 19.8% this year with Portland. Raymond Felton obviously hasn't been shooting well, he has been committing a lot more turnover, meaning his decision making hasn't been the best. It hasn't been all bad, however. In the beginning of the year, when the Blazers got off to their hot start, part of it was because of the fast paced offense that came with Felton. I can't lie, when I watched the first three games for Felton as a Blazer, I loved the fast paced offense he ran, and his game as a whole, distributing the ball along with his court vision.
Wes Matthews is really having a tough year. Last year, Blazers fans fell in love with his defense, and his scrappy hard-working game; however, this year, We$ is struggling. He hasn't been able to get comfortable with a shot, again he has little dribbling ability, and he has looked overall much less explosive than he was last year. His offensive game consists of standing around looking for a three, or driving straight to the hoop. He doesn't really know how to navigate a fast break unless he's all by himself and he just plain can't create. His defensive game is bogged down because of how much less explosive he is, but he plays smart defense. His defense is to a point where he is starting to show some savvy when he's defending the perimeter. By the numbers, he is scoring 3 less points a game, and about 5% less for both fg% and 3 point %. Despite my remarks before, his turnover total per game has gone down, but he is still committing one per every 1.8 assists, high for a starting guard.
Jamal Crawford is the hardest to evaluate. He is a volume shooter, who, like most volume shooters, makes "bad" un-Nate Macmillan like decisions, making my brothers and I joke sometimes and call him the "anti-Nate." The reason he is hard for me to evaluate, though, is that he has terrible decision making. He often passes up an open shot by his teammates in order to take a contested jumper or runner or layup by himself. The problem with that being "bad" is that he makes it. He consistently makes those shots, and he starts runs for the Blazers, digging them out of deficits. He's shooting 38% from the field and 94.1% from the free throw line making his true shooting percentage at about 49.2%. His win shares per 48 minutes are less than the league average at .93; however, if you watch the games, he shoots the Blazers in and out of games. When he's hot, he repeatedly brings it to the other team, however when he's cold, he bangs his head into a wall over and over trying to get through. Even though his assist total has gone up, that is only because Nate plays him as the backup point guard. He, however, is not a point guard, even though he can create. He has a lot harder time creating for teammates than creating for his own shot.
Now the rookies haven't gotten much time except for garbage time in blowouts, so this section will be semi-quick. Nolan Smith is not the backup point guard the Blazers expected when they drafted him. He does not really play like a pass first point guard, but more like a score first shooting guard. He is making rookie mistakes as his assist total is barely over his turnover total and his field goal percentage is just flat out bad. Being young I expect him to improve a little, but he might just be a bottom of the bench player for the rest of his career. Elliot Williams, however, has shown some promise. His athletic abilities make for crowd wowing dunks and highlight reel plays and he is just overall exciting to watch. That said, he is just a rookie and has taken a few bad shots and made a few turnovers but until he gets more playing time, his exciting plays overrule those mistakes. Armon Johnson has only seen 5 minutes this year compared to his role player role last year of over 10 minutes per game for the first few games. In the D League, he was playing well scoring like a decent shooter (which we all know he isn't) and using higher level defensive abilities to his advantage. He has such a high work ethic, that if he keeps performing well in garbage time or the D League, another team will give him a chance if the Blazers don't.
Grade: C- - Guards are playing less than par, displaying bad decision making along with career shooting slumps. Rookies are playing bottom of the bench levels.
Coaching: Nate McMillan has sped up pace so far but that is mostly credited to their addition of Raymond Felton. Has so far been Nate, calling for smart basketball that includes the whole team and cringing at every bad shot. Defense has been set up well and offensive plays are rarely called to be iso plays. He also manages to give minutes like a genius.
Grade: B+ - same Nate as always except for faster pace.
Overall Grade: B
Now how do I put this all together? The Blazers are an up and down team and are simply put, a decent playoff team. Yes, their guard play is mediocre at best as of now, but I expect that to improve over time. Raymond Felton and Jamal Crawford are new to this team. They're in a new system, with new players around them. I expect one of them to start to get near the levels they were at in the years before. Also the faster pace lets the Blazers tire out opponents by playing a lot of fast break ball. This year when they have most of their losses, they either: play slower paced ball against other clubs, or they commit too many turnovers and don't convert on easy scoring opportunities. Their hot start was partly because of Raymond Felton and Jamal Crawford, the fast pace mixed with the start of the year energized the blazer to a 7-2 start which, when away games got to them as well as the schedule, started to drop off. Despite that, the Blazers are still sixth in the west and are 10-1 at home, counted by many around the league as a borderline upper echelon team.
When the lockout shortened schedule got to them, so many minutes with so little rest time got to them. Marcus Camby went down with an injury, so did Nic Batum and Gerald Wallace. With the schedule so compact you can expect more of that but hope for the opposite. Now let's look more in depth at the losses. There are horrific ones like the ones at Pheonix and Detroit and the Magic. In these losses the Blazers were just flat out outplayed. Even in the win against Cleveland, you could tell the Blazers were gassed. But, once they get home, all this energy seems to come back. Individually, most of the team is playing much better at home than away, and it has to do with the Rose Garden atmosphere. Being like a playoff atmosphere every night, you can tell its effect on players. In the Cleveland game, they started and couldn't put away the Cavaliers, but in the second half, they were re-energized and turned the close game into a near blowout. So for the Blazers it comes down to energy, whether you have it or you don't. If we look beyond all the inconsistent play, the terrible guard play, and the awful decision making, it all has to do with how much energy the Blazers do or don't have. For example, some of Raymond Felton's turnovers come when he throws a nice pass that even his teammates weren't expecting. This all has to do with fatigue and the energy for the Blazers to run.
Despite crash's inability to perform on the road, We$ inability to create or even shoot, Raymond Feltons turnovers and bad shots, Jamal Crawford's bad decision making, the Blazers are still a good team. They're long, they have a number of lock down defenders and they have a stud in LaMarcus Aldridge. From my perspective, as a fan, I realize the Blazers may not be the best team around. I told you about the basketball end of things, but on a personal level, the Blazers mean a lot more, at least to me. As life stories go, mine is still short and mostly unwritten being 15 years old. All my life, I've been the little brother to three guys, who, in most of their peers eyes were smart, athletic, and successful. Really, to me I feel the Blazers are like a little brother team and the underdog. I remember how angry I felt this summer to find out that most people on the internet were ranking the Blazers as a lower echelon team in the west. Through 20 games I've seen scrap, and hard work ethic bring what was a "lower echelon" team to the top of the Western Conference. In my eyes, the Blazers are like me, and if I work that hard and metaphorically "scrap" in life I can be successful too. Despite their shortcomings on the road and their recent struggles, I know the Blazers are destined to do something good this season, however far they make it. I know they've inspired me and many other fans as well, and through they're never quit or surrender personalities, I expect them to bring a lot of good to the community for years to come. Looking at the team and at even they're home games you can tell the impact they have on people with either the world class athleticism, or their world class work ethic, personalities, and professionalism. The fans create the best atmosphere in an arena in the NBA, even when its an unexciting game. Every game when the Blazers are clawing back towards victory, fans still have a hope and desire for the win. Because of the fans, and their love for the team, the Blazers can and do reach historical comebacks and victories. You see, as cliche as this sounds, basketball in Portland isn't just entertainment or fun, it's a way of life. Portland having just the Blazers for so many years has shown that even with just major league sports team, you can be considered a sports city, and the Blazers are Portland's champions, my champions. I know that for a long time the Blazers will continue to be part of my life and part of the Portlandian culture. I have high hopes for the Blazers and as the season progresses, and I.believe.in.Rip.City.
it's ironic that when we talk about the players, somehow Marcus gets overlooked. Marcus has been excellent with his defense and rebounding. i'm confident that even at his age, he's giving a terrific effort night in and night out. Kurt is one of those guys who just brings it every night. he and Craig have been excellent additions. we've got some work to do as far as guard consistency and winning games on the road, but like you, i believe in Rip City.~ KMM
Thanks for your comment! Yeah, I totally agree with you. Marcus is often overlooked and he really brings it every night along with Kurt and Craig. They play like every minute is important and even though Marcus or Kurt may feel old, they have a lot of "young again" moments. I think the guards will eventually come around, so high hopes that the Blazers will get better.

Pazulski is expected to return to the witness stand when the trial resumes Tuesday. More officers from the detail were expected to follow.
Leopold waived his right to a jury trial on Thursday. His attorneys declined to explain their reasoning, but the move often signals that complex legal questions will play an important role in the defense.
If convicted of the fraud charge, Leopold could be sentenced to up to five years in prison. Judges have broad leeway on sentences for misconduct in office because the charge carries no specific penalty.
Leopold has remained in office while under indictment.

The recent announcement that Sleeping Giant Ski Area will not reopen this year was a disappointment to many.
The North Fork ski area, closed since 2004, is the place where many Park County residents first experienced the joy of flying down a snow-covered mountain.
The Yellowstone Recreations Foundation, the non-profit group behind the revitalization of the ski area, says funding hasn't come in as quickly
as necessary for the area to operate during the 2008-2009 season. Organizers were correct in concluding that going into debt before the area is even operating would not be a wise choice.
The foundation must raise about $3 million for various improvements, including a new chair lift, snow-making equipment and a major expansion of skiable terrain — from 47 acres to 180 acres. So far, the foundation has drummed up about $1.3 million. A $500,000 grant from the Wyoming Business Council could push the total close to $2 million. But there's still a long way to go.
The Yellowstone Recreations Foundation and its supporters have emphasized the benefits of Sleeping Giant being a "community" ski area. A primary goal is to create a place where the youth of this county can learn a lifetime sport — one that gets people off the couch, out of the house and into the great outdoors.
That's surely a good aim. But if it is going to become a reality, it will need the support — financial and otherwise — of people from across Park County.

Service had been dominant in the first four games of this season, with the lowest margin of victory at 42 points.
The Stars took a 36-25 lead at halftime and then nearly won the game on a last-second shot by Evan Withrow, who had 23 points. The off-balance shot by Withrow hit the back of the rim and bounced wide.

"I absolutely hate using a mask! Every mask that I have even attempted to try has made it as far as one swipe along my cheek. I've used soaps from Lush many times before, but I've been using the same facial products for years and still need a bit of "something good" to help out with my uneven skin tone. I want to look natural and refreshed! I started following this beauty pro and she swears by the Tea Tree Water and tea tree anything is a great addition to skin care. While visiting the shop, the different smells of the masks was so attractive to me, I had to try one (okay, two). So, I just tried the Brazened Honey .. Let me say this: I am a over thirty year old high school teacher and having different germs around ten months out of the year in addition to this crazy weather changing all the time, not to mention the emotions of being single, it takes a toll on my skin. I cleaned my skin with my everyday face wash, spritzed on the Tea Tree Water. Moments later, I gently patted warm water on my face and applied the Brazened Honey. The smell was calming and refreshing. I waited ten minutes, rinsed with warm water and as I rinsed, my skin felt do soft and smooth. I've been sick and the water felt so good against my cheeks that I kept going. When I looked up, my skin had such a glow! The kind of glow a women my age sit around and hope for, wishing sixteen would come around twice in a lifetime! Brazened Honey is amazing! less"

Q:How many days/weeks do you have before the product expires?Asked on 2/28/2014 by Dani from Tacoma, WA
1 answer
A:The fresh masks are good for three weeks, and there will be a little sticker on the bottom with the date they were made, as well as when you should use them up by. I hope this helps!Answered on 3/19/2014 by Megan from LUSH Direct
Q:Can I use this past the expiry date? I just bought it and it expires soon.Asked on 10/21/2012 by angie
1 answer
A:No, we strongly advise against using any of our products after their expiry date. The fresh face masks do not contain any preservatives, and thus they can grow bacteria, fungi, or yeast after the expiry date which would not be safe to have on your skin. It's better to discard any that's left after the expiry, and buy a lovely fresh pot. Your skin will thank you!Answered on 11/2/2012 by Megan from LUSH
Q:How many times a week do you use the mask for? Everyday?Asked on 2/3/2012 by Laugom from Chicago, IL
2 answers
A:It really depends on your skin type. The Brazened honey is really stimulating, so if you have sensitive skin, you might want to only do it 1-2 times a week at most.Answered on 2/9/2012 by Community Answer from None
A:All our fresh face masks are designed to be used 1 - 3 times a week, depending on your skins needs. As only you know your skin the best its a personal decision as to what feels best, but I would not recommend more than this as the face masks are designed as facial treatments not for daily use.Answered on 8/30/2012 by Anonymous

I'm back in action today, after a long weekend spent (finally) getting my family moved and settled in our new house. Apologies for the sparse blogging over those days.
When I did have a moment to catch up with the news over the weekend, this interview with BigGovernment.com operator Andrew Breitbart caught my attention. Breitbart's Web site was the one that pushed the ACORN scandal that was unveiled in a series of videos last month (see the blue box toward the top of the BigGovernment.com home page).
In the interview, Breitbart argues that his biggest target in publishing the videos was what he calls the "Democrat-media complex." Writes his interviewer, The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto:
"This plan wasn't just a means to defend against the media's desire to attack the messenger," Mr. Breitbart says. "It was also a means to attack the media and to expose them . . . for the partisan hacks that they are."
The interview appeared on the Journal's opinion pages, and in it Taranto — no one's idea of a left-winger — makes an argument defending, in part, the media's approach to the story:
Partisanship was not the only reason for media resistance to the Acorn story. The approach [aspiring filmmaker James] O'Keefe and [his colleague Hannah] Giles used—lying to prospective sources or subjects—is grossly unethical by the standards of institutional journalism. Almost all major news organizations, including the Journal, strictly prohibit it. To be sure, there is a world of difference between employing such tactics and reporting on the results when others have used them. And there is no question that the pair's findings were newsworthy. But journalistic discomfort with their methods is a sign of integrity, not corruption.
Taranto's explanation would certainly be welcome in the media ethics class I took in college. Breitbart acknowledges in the interview that he was taking a risk in working with O'Keefe and Giles. Is the market disputing the idea that the reporting (or lack thereof) on ACORN was about more than partisanship? Is it shifting to reward Breitbart's kind of risk-taking rather than traditional notions of media integrity? Something in between? Something else?
Market, speak.

"Breitbart argues that his biggest target in publishing the videos was what he calls the "Democrat-media complex…..It was also a means to attack the media and to expose them . . . for the partisan hacks that they are."
So…a self-loathing political hack goes after an organization for the sole purpose of rooting out other partisan political hacks and actually scoops the WSJ on a story in the process. The WSJ busts out the word 'integrity' and claims some moral high ground.

I considered the ACORN story way down below 100 on my list of current events to track. With the problems facing the nation & the world I just thought it about as important as the Colorado balloon story last week. In short, I have more important issues on my citizens plate.

That there are some unprincipled, shady, misfits in ACORN is not really that big a story. That a Republinazi shill would resort to lying isn't a story either. That's expected! Something that's really interesting, however, is the Abramoff affair. He contributed lots of money to the Republicans and they contributed to him too. That was some serious hoin'!
October 19th, 2009
3:44 pm
It seems that anytime someone comes after ACORN, they always have something else to throw right back out there. I wonder why Obama finds the need to go after FOX News the way he is if he didn't think what they were saying wasn't true. Didn't his momma ever tell him to just ignore it and walk away? I know mine did just about everyday and I am a better person for it. Makes you wonder what he has to hid. (I would still like to see that Birth Certificate Mr. President, if we are being so honest with each other.)
ACORN still has a few more nuts in it's shell, just need to wait and see what falls off the tree.

Kyle, ACORN just ain't that important. Not enough FEAR factor involved. Stir up our fear with something else. Fear is good. Long live fear. It's what pays your salary
October 19th, 2009
4:14 pm
jconservative, I think what was probably important in the story was not only the taxpayer money that has already been wasted in this fraudulent organization, but the billions more they were to receive in the "stimulus plan"…although God would only know how ACORN is supposed to be job creating. Tax avoidance seems to be more their thing.
So from that standpoint ($8.5 billion in future appropriations stopped, I believe), the news was important. At least someone finally shown some light on this turd.
October 19th, 2009
4:18 pm
Why write about republican congressmen voting against provisions that would allow individuals employed by defense contractors (receiving multi-billion $$ contracts) to report crimes against them, when you can report about ACORN.
October 19th, 2009
4:18 pm
Breitbart seems to be just as hypocritical as the "Democrat-media complex" he wants to expose. And Taranto and the WSJ go right along with it. Breitbart and WSJ only publicize the Acorn offices were the staff was idiotic or corrupt enough to go along with the scam. When Acorn says that four of their offices tossed O'Keefe and Giles, Breitbart points out that another office (Brooklyn) also went along with it. OK fine. But Breitbart never acknowledges (or releases) the videos of Giles and O'Keefe getting tossed by other Acorn offices. He simply avoids the issue.
That's selective journalism. And Breitbart and Fox News/WSJ are being hyprocritical when they point the finger at the New York Times, et al, for only running stories (or slanting them) to fit their editorial position. I think they are right about the NYT, but the WSJ, Fox News and Breitbart are just as guilty of that as the NYT or CNN or anybody.
The are only two interesting things about this story: (a) that there are people in this country on the right and left that actually believe that anyone in the media is unbiased; and (2) that journalists claim to have ethics and will not lie to get a story.
Get real. No one is falling for that whopper.

I've known a few ACORNites over the years, and to call them communists (note the lower case) would be an insult to communists. They're malcontents, misfits and cranks… the kind of folks that don't get jobs because 'they can't work for the man, man'. But since hooking up with Soros and his ilk, they're a well-funded bunch of cranks and misfits. The fact that Obama was involved with them in any way, shape or form keeps me from trusting him still.
October 19th, 2009
4:32 pm
Here's the problem (without the ACORN sideshow), Breitbart in my opinion performs "agenda journalism", so do I to a degree, but they are much different beasts. I always tell my subjects that I will write from my perspective but it is my goal to be fair. Breitbart doesn't even pretend at fairness. He starts with a false premise (let the wailing from the conspiracists begin) and then sets out to prove that premise no matter what. He is not interested in the truth or fairness. He is only interested in driving to his pre-conceived conclusion. Interestingly, its exactly the way most creationist operate, but I digress.
Bottom line, it may be agenda driven journalism and he may be honest about that, but its not the type of agenda driven journalism to which I think anyone should aspire.
October 19th, 2009
5:13 pm
Understand that from a conservative's point of view, every major newspaper, ABC, CBS, CNN and especially NBC engage in "agenda journalism".
At least Breitbart is forthcoming about his political beliefs.
Until I can watch "NBC Nightly News" and not want to throw my shoe through the television because of the thinly-veiled liberal propaganda, I guess we'll all just have to pick and choose which news sources we trust and those we don't.

Class of '98: Truth and reality are not thinly veiled liberal propaganda. Conservatives are hypocritical fools.

What has journalism got to do with it. Now that FOX News has been declared not a legitimate news source by none other than the White House, they certainly should not be measured by a journalistic yard stick.
I'll keep watching though, because I like hearing information that the White House approved press sit on.

The ACORN tape tells us two things: that ACORN needs to apply better diligence to its hiring and retention practices, and that there are corrupt and morally bankrupt people living in the world. Attempts to generalize this completely anecdotal observation into an indictment against an entire organization are insupportable, and the accompanying outrage from the Right and wholesale censuring by politicians is disingenuous.
An earlier poster's statement is well-taken; a single incident by a representative of an organization that neither codifies nor condones the behavior in question is greeted by sanctimonious outrage and instant action by Congress, while companies receiving no-bid contracts from the Federal government are allowed to indemnify themselves and their employees against legitimate charges of rape by other employees. Worse, the same sanctimonious Republicans who went into a tizzy because a single ACORN office engaged in inappropriate and illegal behavior refuse to vote against said defense companies being denied federal funds unless they remove their no-rape-prosecution clause from their employment contracts. Interesting sense of morality the Right-wing has.
October 19th, 2009
7:12 pm
integrity is fine as long as it doesn't stand in the way of the truth. given the public's lack of confidence in today's media, i'm all for anyone that gets our politicians to sit up and take notice — forcing them to actually look at where our money has been wasted.
October 19th, 2009
7:50 pm
Obama is a balless political hack who blows (in the wind). He brags about his relationship with SEIU and ACORN but the minute sunshine comes to bear on his associations, he delegates the hatchet jobs to his flat-kneed worshippers to do what he doesn't have the spinal column to do. Much of the media(NBC,ABC, and CNN)have "lost their bearings", and it is a shame. They are participating in the dumbing down of America. I don't even mention CBS, because, they have been a bunch of deadheads for a long time. Just consider Dan Rather as their "go to" and enough said.

Transparency????? what a damn joke. Obama has got a trail of deceit, lies and idiots a mile long. The real idiots are the American people for believing his crap. ACORN ,Obama, Rev Wright, Czars etc are all from the same ilk.

How can people who pimp for an administration, through public and private support, realistically be taken seriously when people claiming to be a pimp and prostitute scoop them on exposing a corrupt organization? Remember, ACORN was tangentially mentioned as being corrupt for quite a long period of time until an "acting pimp and prostitute", exposed them. This, when real pimps would not, because it did not fit with their biased pimping for an administration.

"He brags about his relationship with SEIU and ACORN but the minute sunshine comes to bear on his associations, he delegates the hatchet jobs to his flat-kneed worshippers to do what he doesn't have the spinal column to do."
Please cite sources where Obama "brags" about said relationships?
"Much of the media(NBC,ABC, and CNN)have "lost their bearings", and it is a shame. They are participating in the dumbing down of America."
Similarly, please provide evidence to support this assertion. In what way have the referenced media outlet "lost their bearings", and in what way have other media outlets maintained them? If objectivity is the goal, how do news outlets such as Fox maintain that objectivity? Or is it only conformity to your ideological and preconceived notions that defines appropriate media coverage?
"How can people who pimp for an administration, through public and private support, realistically be taken seriously when people claiming to be a pimp and prostitute scoop them on exposing a corrupt organization?"
How sad…you're conflating "pimp for an administration", which is a concept that you have assumed about the agency in question, with actual pimping, which was perpetrated by a couple of individuals associated with said organization. You're basically condemning a national group based on the actions of two or three people associated with it. That's not…exactly rational.
"Jeeeeze, they were exposed for the corrupt group that they are…doesn't matter how.."
Mmmm…no. A couple of employees were exposed as corrupt. If you think that the behavior of a couple of employees indicts an entire group, then you must believe that an entire police department where one cop was proven to use excessive force is equally culpable. You must believe that an accountant who helps a client hide off-the-books money is representative of the entire profession. You must believe that an unethical lawyer in a particular firm indicates that the entire firm is unethical.
How stupid are you? You believe anything that supports your racial or politically motivated preconceptions. ACORN as a national entity is corrupt because a few people in one office do something wrong? Really? You attack Obama because he at some point in his career worked with said group? Amazing!
Rational thought is obviously not the strong point of Right wingers.

"Remember, ACORN was tangentially mentioned as being corrupt for quite a long period of time"
Mmmm…not really. ACORN was targeted by right-wing organizations for supposed voter fraud, ignoring the fact that ACORN itself reported the voter registration fraud in question. Because, you know, every group that is trying to commit voter fraud REPORTS ITSELF. Idiot.

Fact is, the media has ignored corruption and indictments of ACORN in state after state, long before these "gotcha" videos appeared. Protection of these Brown Shirts…oops, "activists" has been Mission One with the journalist sector, and it's because of bias; pure and simple. It's the same reason these outlets protected Communist Van Jones, and now Maoist Anita Dunn (both busted on video in their own words). I am so SICK of the Left trotting out the "ethics" canard…as if they ever had any. Liberals, I own myself…and I'll NEVER let you enslave me with your silly distorted empathy fascism.
October 19th, 2009

Are you suggesting that an American citizen doesn't have the right to ascribe to whatever political philosophy he chooses? Should "Communist" Van Jones or "Maoist" Anita Dunn (even though evidence that suggests that either of these people is actually either of these things is flimsy or manufactured AT BEST) apologize to you or anyone else for exercising their rights as an American to believe whatever they deem appropriate?
Exactly what kind of "American" are you? Apparently you are one who would have been much happier under McCarthyism. How dare you, sir? How dare you suggest that there are appropriate and inappropriate personal philosophies in a nation that prides itself on its FREEDOM. And to invoke the spectre of fascism where it is CLEARLY inappropriate (given that fascism is the expression of far-right political beliefs and you are applying it to those whom you claim are on the far left) indicates that you don't really know what the hell you're talking about.
Here's a tip for you, buddy – here in America we get to believe whatever the hell we want. That's kind of the beauty of America. You claim that you are a better American than the people you single out, but really, you aren't. REALLY you would be much happier in a nation that adheres to the totalitarian system you pretend to abhor. After all, you are as intolerant of opposing positions as Mussolini, Franco, Stalin or Mao EVER were.
But nice try, buddy. I'm sure your rhetoric will fool all of the uneducated idiots in this country who don't understand what freedom ACTUALLY means.

What wonderful commenter you have, Kyle.
'Understand that from a conservative's point of view, every major newspaper, ABC, CBS, CNN and especially NBC engage in "agenda journalism'
Saying it's so does not make it so. I'd like to hear Kyle's opinion on this old saw about his brothers and sisters in the business. Especially given he represents the 'conservative point of view'.
And you still avoid one unassailable fact – Breitbart seeks facts to fit a conclusion. Under no guise is that journalism.

ACORN does not deserve the target on it's back. I am astounded the balanced truth (as opposed to the "fair and balanced" truth) about this 35+ year old venerable stalwart of community activism (mostly advocating low-cost housing for poor and middle-income families) has not come out in ANY press story yet.

Churhill's Mom:
They didn't vote to make "gang rape illegal." Did you even read the link you posted?
Senator Franken wanted to ban the gov't from hiring contractors who don't allow employees to sue them (but they can litigate through arbitration).
I definitely don't agree with our Senators on this, but the truth is bad enough without saying that they're trying to legalize gang rape. Come on.

The truth is that the two largest parties were sold to their respective orthodoxies a long time ago. Neoconservatives are contracted to protect their business interests, which is a form of corporate welfare, and the Democrat Progressives have leagues of lackeys to provide for, furthering their perpetual cycle of government warding.
Libertarians are the third largest party and with a system of Jeffersonian principles, it is the real party of freedom that the multitudes are calling for, but they won't get it because both Democrats and Republicans are collectivists.
We missed the boat with Ron Paul, but perhaps we can convince him to work with the Libertarians instead of being a lone gun among country club republicans.

Who are you talking about? Who are Americans for Prosperity and Stormfront? As far as Fox News, what is the problem, I thought that liberal like a good healthy debate on the facts? Besides all the other so called news stations are in bed with Obozo, so why does one that does not agree with you such a problem? Did you lose your remote, are you to lazy to change the channel? It always amazes me how liberals all claim they want to hear other people's views, as long as they agree with theirs… Seems funny how the liberals have resorted to name calling, try the facts for a change.

Tuesday's raids were given the name "Operation Nutcracker" as a play on the name of the Acorn gang, which is based at the Acorn housing project in West Oakland.
It's not ACORN'S bleeding heart that spills onto the pavement in those housing projects.
Take the money and run.

Acorn's government ties that put them in a bind.
The nephew of former Oakland City Administrator Deborah Edgerly was convicted last week of felony gun charges for a second time but he's still working for the city as a meter repairman, a city spokeswoman said Monday.
William Lovan, a 28-year-old Concord man, pleaded no contest last week to a felony charge of carrying a concealed and unregistered firearm in a car after being contacted by Oakland police in June 2008 as part of their investigation into the activities of the Acorn drug gang. Oakland police describe it as the city's worst gang and claim that Lovan is a member.

Due to these trying economic time, the thought of a worthy 250 commuter, a workhorse, is certainly more appealing to riders than ever before. The Inazuma fills that role brilliantly. It's effective, idiot-proof and economical and its classy touches, badge, two-year warranty and more lift it above the general morass. The trouble is the price. We aren't convinced that the ...

Kawasaki say they're gunning for the Street Triple R with the new Z750R, but it ultimately lacks excitement and you don't get the kind of performance you want from a 750 or an 'R' tagged bike.

The PS125i is sturdy, well made and has the weight of the Honda brand behind it, so you know it's a safe and reliable purchase. That said, it's pricier than the competition and doesn't perform as well. Ridden in isolation it's perfectly adequate, but for the money there are better scooters out there.

The Royal Enfield Bullet Woodsman EFI is a modern take on a bike produced by the 1950's USA importer, who turned Bullets in to scramblers and branded them as Indian Woodsman.

Harley's cruiser V-Rod has been about since 2001, and the new Muscle is… is just another styling exercise to bolster what is arguably a tired range.

Although the unemployment rate is low, getting a job in Minnesota might take a lot longer than a lot of graduates may expect according to a study that focused on those who got a degree in 2011.
The data released by the Department of Employment and Economic Development shows that even after 2 years of looking, 3 out of 5 graduates with bachelor's degrees -- 60 percent -- did not have a full-time job. For those with associate's degrees, the odds were even bleaker. Two thirds still did not have a full time job after the same time period had passed.
With just a few weeks left of school, Rein Boyd is looking forward to graduating and finding a job in advertising.
"I think with my education at the Carlson Career Center, I think getting a job won't be too difficult, but I also recognize it's not the easiest thing," Boyd said.
Those who graduated before him certainly seem to have found that out, and the numbers have Boyd feeling a little uneasy.
"Kind of scares me," he said. "There is a major disconnect between graduating college and people actually getting a job in what they study."
Lin Syverson graduated last year after spending $32,000 to get her associates degree online from Colorado Tech University.
"I definitely wonder why I did it," she reflected.
Syverson told Fox 9 News she can't count the number of applications she's filled out since, but not one has gotten her close to her goal.
"You don't get called. You don't get an e-mail. It's very frustrating to know there are jobs open, you are applying for them, and not even getting a response," she said.
At Doherty Employment, those who help graduates find their first jobs know the past few years have been tough.
"There's a little bit of a gap we are seeing -- what they learned in the classroom and how to apply that in the real world -- or how to interview, or how to show up for an interview," Elizabeth Kohl said.
Although it is difficult, Kohl said the biggest step is getting a foot in the door.
"You can start as a contract employee or part-time employee and show you might be a valuable employee as the a permanent hire," Kohl said.
Kohl urges anyone with a degree to use the schooling as an advantage by showing potential employers how that education provided the latest skills and proficiency with technology needed to succeed.
"While it may be discouraging, things are definitely improved," she said.
Polish the resume, practice interviewing skills, and Kohl is confident anyone can land a job, but for those still deciding on a field, nurses, accountants, metal workers and those with business degrees tend to get hired in the first year.

another frustrated young composerPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
Probably all for the best – one can't be too careful when it comes to exposing the President of the United States to the music of a Sequenza21 blogger. I think we can all breathe a little more easily, knowing that his saturated mind and ears have been spared.
In any case, the trio has thirty-three performances in eleven cities over the next two months on this tour (photos and info here). That's a lot more Dillon than anyone should be expected to digest.
My three-year-old son's response: "Daddy goes to concerts and people play his music. Music comes out of Daddy's head. Music comes out of my head, too, but nobody plays it."
Been there, buddy.
Things can turn anytime, any direction – I could be there again in the time it takes the Secret Service to clear a band off its stand.
Meanwhile, I'll enjoy every near-miss I get.

Politicians, celebrities, lawyers pay tribute at Greg King's funeral
UPDATED / 11.25am:
Auckland Crown solicitor Simon Moore SC, Chief Justice Dame Sian Elias, close friend Sir Robert Jones and bankrupt property developer Terry Serepisos are among the mourners at Greg King's funeral today.
It is standing room only at the Wellington Cathedral of St Paul as mourners have been filing in to the church since about 10 o'clock.
The congregation will hear from MP Tony Ryall, Justice William Young, Mr Moore and QC Robert Lithgow.
Mr King's father Jeffrey will join with Dunedin-based QC Judith Ablett-Kerr to present a slideshow.
Singer Brooke Fraser will later perform the song Arithmetic before the funeral concludes.
Former All Black and close friend Bernie Fraser is to be one of Mr King's pall-bearers as is Sir Robert.
There is also a strong police presence at the funeral.
Wellington High Court has cleared its scheduled list ahead of lawyer Greg King's funeral today.
Up to 1000 people are expected to attend Mr King's funeral from 11 o'clock at the Wellington Cathedral of St Paul in Molesworth St.
The 43-year-old highly respected barrister was found dead next to his car in the suburb of Newlands last Saturday morning.
There were no suspicious circumstances and his death has been referred to the coroner.
A large representation of the legal fraternity is expected, and those likely to speak include Mr King's wife and fellow lawyer Catherine Milnes-King, and MP Tony Ryall.
Last weekend Detective Inspector Paul Basham said Mr King was well known and respected by police staff and his death would be keenly felt by many.
Dozens of tributes have rolled in since then, with virtually everyone saying they respected Mr King's work.
His final trial wrapped up on Wednesday last week.
Mr King's client, Jonathan Ioata, was found guilty of killing Felipo Sipaia with a single punch to the head during a fight in Lower Hutt in April last year.
Comments and questions3
We laud this man as a "brilliant lawyer", because he got his client off the hook. The same way Johnny Cochran got O.J Simpson off.
Yep, motive, background, past history, balance of probabilities, non-disclosure of material deeds-- all of these played second fiddle to wide-eyed histrionic theatrics and modulated cadences from the inimitable late counsellor. Brilliance personified!

This is my first time ordering from (or even being aware) of Baudville. I heard about you all from a colleague. The certificate covers were very nice, I wish they would have come with seals though. I ended up having to seal with little stars on the side. They fit well with our unofficial "star" theme, and just looked great. Customer service was awesome! Some of the products are fairly expensive, but the quality is great. The folder actually looked like it did online. Thanks!!

Usain Bolt won the Jamaica International Invitational in the fourth-fastest time ever, just .37 seconds off the world record of 19.19 that he set last year in the world championships in Berlin.The Olympic star also ran a 19.30 in the Beijing Olympics, and has run 19.57 twice. Michael Johnson has the third-best time at 19.32.
Bolt said the victory "puts me in a good stand for the season because I'm about 95 percent. I still have a lot of work to do.?
Bolt was pleased with his winning time, but warned fans not to expect any world record runs this season.
"I just went out there to see where I'm at and to get my confidence. I'm not trying to break any record this year but I had to come out here and put on a show for Jamaica because I missed last year's meet. I'm looking forward to this season's races ... it should be a very nice year, showdown after showdown.?
American Wallace Spearmon was second in 19.98.

Chicago pleasing Elliott
Chicago Grey
(Healy Racing Photos)
The County Meath trainer took the world's greatest steeplechase with Silver Birch in 2007 and reports his latest contender to be in the form of his life.
"It's all systems go to the National and we're looking forward to it," said Elliott.
"We're training him as normal, but we'll pop him over a fence the week before the race, but he seems to be in good form so we're very happy."
Chicago Grey, generally available at 20-1 for the Aintree spectacular on April 14, made his last public appearance at Gowran Park in mid-February when he was a staying-on second to Rubi Light over an inadequate two and a half miles.

A Clearfield woman who embezzled $152,000 from her employer received 36 months probation, including six months home confinement for her crime.
Carrie Lyn Zenger pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement. She took the funds between January 2007 and October 2008 while working at the Intermountain Credit Union.
Zenger also must repay the money she stole from Intermountain Credit Union, according to a judgement issued by U.S. District Court Judge Robert J. Shelby.
Most of that payment will go to a federal insurance guarantor that covered the loss for the credit union, which merged with America First Credit Union in 2008.

This delicious rib rub from James Cornett should make enough for two full racks of ribs.
Simply mix all of the ingredients together and use as a dry rub on the ribs. If there is any left, save it for next time!
James says, Purists will say that you need wood or charcoal to properly grill ribs. But its really not difficult to get excellent ribs from a gas grill. Just set the heat as low as it will go (300° is optimal) with indirect heat. Coat both sides of the ribs with spice rub and let them grill for about 3 hours. To test for doneness, lift one end of the rib rack. If the rack bends (and most of the ribs stay on the grill), then theyre done. Remove the ribs from the grill and wrap them in aluminum foil. Let them rest for 15-20 minutes. Then cut individual portions using a serrated knife.
We also found searing the ribs on a medium-hot charcoal grill, about 20 minutes per side, then finishing them in a 300° oven for 2 hours gave great flavor as well.
Rib Secret: Put some apple juice in a small spray bottle. Spritz the ribs liberally with juice once per hour while they are grilling. This gives the ribs a nice sweet glaze and an extra layer of flavor.
