Coming this year, several potential blockbusters, including an all-star "Exodus: Gods and Kings" (Fox), "Dumb and Dumber To " (Universal) and "Annie" (Sony).

MINOCQUA, Wis. (WSAU) - Drivers and pedestrians in Minocqua will see a new device on southbound Highway 51 today: a specially lighted crosswalk.
It's called a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon, and it's there to help keep drivers and pedestrians apart. State Traffic Signal Systems engineer Joanna Bush says it's like a railroad crossing for people where the light will signal that people are wanting to cross the street. "During the solid red portion, the pedestrian will see the walking man symbol light up, and they're able to proceed across the highway."
After the pedestrian clears the intersection, the lights will flash back and forth in a "wig-wag" to let drivers know that they can proceed onward. Bush says sometimes drivers need a little help knowing that people are waiting to cross. "Sometimes it's real easy to not notice, so this beacon helps to control people in a stopping condition instead of a yielding condition."
The new beacons, also known as HAWKs, are going up in a number of Wisconsin communities where people have to walk across busy highways.

I know this is a Linux blog, but since I already made the Mac OS section, I must add some posts inside this section as well . I do like both Mac and Linux. And right now, I will share to you all my experience with Mac OS X Leopard X86 IDENEB.
Before I'm using IDENEB, I do use Kalyway 10.5.2. But in Kalyway 10.5.2, some of my drivers are not working properly like my attansic LAN card(until now I can't solve this driver problem). And finally, I decided to install Mac OS X 10.5.5 IDENEB inside my PC just to make it better. After more than 2 days experimenting, I finally managed to install Mac OS X IDENEB X86. The installation is barely successful, there's a problem with the sound driver. Well… This driver problem is surely worser than the previous Mac OS X Kalyway installation. But, the good thing is I managed to download the sound driver from my insanelymac
Alright, in Mac OS X IDENEB(installed under asus P5K-SE motherboard), everything works fine indeed. And I will share the sound card driver if you are the owner of ASUS P5K motherboard. This sound driver might help you all to solve the sound card driver problem. And here is the driver link . I will add the screenshot later. Enjoy!

i try install mac os x version X86 IDENEB for my pc.my pc using chipset mobo via,cpu intel duo core.but not detect my hdd.why?tq
Hello kaizer, sorry for the late reply. Can you please add more details regarding to this problem? And also please post your PC specs. Thanks.
Thanks for the information.
I have the same Mobo as yours. I also tried iDeneb 10.5.5 which I downloaded from Piratebay.. The problem is this, After Installation, It reboots then it stucks itself at Apple Logo Boot Screen.. Can you help me with this? Help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks
Yes, the Apple gray logo boot screen that stuck, you can say that its a blue screen on mac. If you encounter that thing, try to reboot your dvd on verbose mode ( -v ). Usually, that problem encountered when there's any IOATA disk devices blocked. If you have any IDE harddrive, try to remove it and use SATA disk. If you still facing the same problem, maybe its the right time for you to ask to insanelymac.com

Palin's Not Running. Update: Marco Rubio Out As Veep?
Just tweeted by Mark Levin: "BREAKING: GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN TELLS MARK LEVIN SHE IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2012."
Concurrently, ABC prints the letter that Palin sent to her supporters:
October 5, 2011
Wasilla, Alaska
After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order.
My decision is based upon a review of what common sense Conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office – from the nation's governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency. We need to continue to actively and aggressively help those who will stop the "fundamental transformation" of our nation and instead seek the restoration of our greatness, our goodness and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law.
From the bottom of my heart I thank those who have supported me and defended my record throughout the years, and encouraged me to run for President. Know that by working together we can bring this country back – and as I've always said, one doesn't need a title to help do it.
I will continue driving the discussion for freedom and free markets, including in the race for President where our candidates must embrace immediate action toward energy independence through domestic resource developments of conventional energy sources, along with renewables. We must reduce tax burdens and onerous regulations that kill American industry, and our candidates must always push to minimize government to strengthen the economy and allow the private sector to create jobs.
More as it comes in. Or in this case, doesn't.
Even before Palin's announcement, Jonathan S. Tobin wrote at Commentary that it's "Romney's Race to Lose." What do you think?
On Twitter, a few people have noted that in the above excerpt, Palin wrote that she's not seeking the Republican nomination, leaving the door open to a third party run — but Allahpundit writes, "Apparently she told Levin that she's ruled out a third-party bid as well."
Update: Here's the audio of her interview with Mark Levin.
Related: Byron York tweets, "Seems like bigger GOP '12 news is Marco Rubio saying: 'I am not going to be the VP nominee…the answer is gonna be no.'"

I'm saddened by this……I think she is what the country needs right now. Someone outside of Washington, someone who doesn't suffer from "Beltway-itis".October 5, 2011 - 3:47 pm Link to this Comment | Reply
Patrick Connors
This is indeed a sad day for America and I hope she can be a voice of reason, particularly for the common sense use of energy in this country in the future. Those who are not or have not made themselves acquainted with her views outside of what they think they know from the "popular" media will never get what she stands for and against.October 5, 2011 - 6:06 pm Link to this Comment | Reply
Gov. Palin has waaaay too many family obligations to even consider a run for President this time around. Give her 8 years, let the kids grow a little, let the PDS calm down some and she can still look at a run if its in the cards.
Truth is Sarah Palin will help countless other Republicans get elected and will now have the time to help each and every one with her charismatic appearances that fire up the entire base every time she makes an appearance. Especially in key races where the every vote counts.
Sarah Palin/Marco Rubio are the two greatest assets the Republican Party has.They both advocate conservatism and will work to save the country in its time of need.
NOt to support either of their decisions on our part would short sided thinking,IMHO. I know I will support both in every way I can.October 6, 2011 - 3:41 am Link to this Comment | Reply
Please not with Rubio or Perry.
Allen West by that time will be a good VP for her.
If you want amnesty for 18 million illegals then Rubio and Perry want the same thing.
They both said they did not think SB 1070 was good. Rubio changed is mind only after thousands of calls came into his office. He then said he changed his mind because the words were changed. (B.S.)
Perry said he agreed with Vicente Fox's dream of open borders with the US….
If you don't believe, call his office and ask.
Now that Palin is out we must still support her on sarahpac so she can help like she did for the 2010 elections.
Because of Palin and only Palin,the Republicans wow the House.
Remember she worked tirelessly running all over the country.
She won, not Rove, O'Reilly, Beck or any of the other A** H big mouths.
All her travels were paid for from her pac.
She donated all that time and energy and what thanks did she get?
Don't forget there's only three people that get a min. of 100.000 for speaking, Palin, Clinton and Bush, Palin gets most of the jobs.
When she worked for the candidates in 2010 she did not get any pay.
Now I hope she endorses Romney for president..
Hope Romney picks her as his VP.. If Romney did, below is what the VP debate would look like between Biden and Palin. See the 2008 VP debate between Biden and Palin right here just click on the link or copy and paste in your browser.
………. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/VicePresidentialCandidate ….
Now with Obama's record she would go for the truth and Biden would not be able to defend him…
Romney would put away Obama big time in the debate..Then in 2020 we would have Palin run for President..Eight years of Romney and Palin we would have the stongest country and economy again. She would run on that and win for sure..
Sheriff Joe to replace Janet at Homeland Security.
Jeff Sessions to replace the crook Eric Holder.
Allen West, Mark Levin, Herman Cain, Michelle Malkin, etc to be somewhere in the cabinetOctober 9, 2011 - 9:28 pm Link to this Comment | Reply
2. GregBash
Please, not Romney.October 5, 2011 - 3:53 pm Link to this Comment | Reply
What if it is Romney? Will you vote for him? Or will you abstain, or post a third-party protest vote, and so help Obama stay at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? I know a few people who refused to vote for John McCain in 2008 because he wasn't conservative enough. I have occasion almost daily to ask them "so, are you happy now?"
We can't afford four more years of The Won. We just can't. If Romney is the nominee, we have to go all-out to see that he wins. Whatever his warts, he's better than Obama.October 5, 2011 - 5:43 pm Link to this Comment | Reply
No he isn't. Because Romney favors all of Obama's policies, just a little less. The country will still crash, but the Socialists among us will be happy to coo about Romney's "bipartisan" approach.

The GOP party machine has already lined up behind Romney and selected him as the candidate before we, the People, had a chance to vote. That what Georgette Mosbacher and some guy named Campanidis(?) said. Well, since they don't need us to select the candidate, then they don't need us for him to win. Happy trail is, GOP! Go ahead and win with the Elites and Bundlers. This part of we, the People, will watch the show from couch on election day since my input is not essential and I'm not a lockstep GOPbot.

I have always believed that "Nothing succeeds like success."
Romney will use his considerable skills to fix the U.S. economy and bring us back to full employment. By 2016, the U.S. economy will be humming again.
And THAT, not "true conservatism" or making the GOP base feel good about themselves or having a candidate who is "one of us," is the biggest thing that could make the GOP brand shine and discredit the Dems.
Romney fixing the economy after Obama failed to do so will give the GOP all the political capital it needs to do other things. It will so discredit liberalism that Americans won't vote for liberals again for years to come.
The best thing Reagan did for conservatism was that–unlike Jimmy Carter–he left the nation in better shape than he found it. That's the best advertisement for conservatism that one could hope for.October 6, 2011 - 5:45 am Link to this Comment | Reply
That's right, sinz. There is one candidate who has already successfully fixed an economy, the state of Massachusetts, and he did it against a Democrat super majority. I am a 20-year resident of Massachusetts and I can assure you Mitt is a conservative (and I'm a mid-western conservative as red as they come). I watched him in action up close and personal. He governed according to conservative principles and did a great job. Like Chris Christie he did what he had to do to win and be effective.
Religion? Not an issue then or now, except when the vile Ted Kennedy had Little Joe slime his religion in the 1994 senatorial election. He's gotten it from the hard left and now the hard right. He is prepared as his reply to Perry's marionette demonstrated. He will make a very fine president.October 9, 2011 - 7:06 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

I understand Sarah's decision. I wish she had run, if only to strengthen the Republican field of Presidential candidates even further. However, I also understand that few, if any, Presidential canduidates (much less Vice-Presidential ones) have been put through the MSM hell that she has. She has handled that onslaught with true grace. We are a lesser people for the immediate loss, but in the long run I believe she will have more of an impact on American life (political and otherwise) than a thousand "community organizers" could ever dream of.

Not much of a choice left for a truly conservative Republican candidate in the field of former Democrats, blue-state liberals, career politicianists, shameless self-promoters, and holders of various whack-a-doodle beliefs left on the stage. Obama could pull it out based on a general malaise toward the pitiful choices now presented as "not-Obama". I have no enthusiasm for or faith in any of them. The last time around we got McLame, an albatross around Sarah's neck and the neck of the conservative cause. This time around bodes no better for those of us who dream of a return to a constitutional Republic.

Why vote for a woman to be President of the United States who had earlier resigned her office as Governor of Alaska?
Most of what has been said about this Sarah Palin via the media has been based upon emotional aspects.
Where are her leadership, stability, and experience to be considered a valid, effective President of the United States?

No, I'm actually not at all OK with Murkowski, at least not with Lisa Murkowski. I think appointing her was the worst thing Frank Murkowski did and it ruined his administration; we never recovered from it.
What I wasn't OK with was Sarah Palin's puppy, Joe Miller, as her proxy in her never-ending war against all things Murkowski since he didn't appoint her to the Senate.
If Lisa has a sane, legitimate Republican challenger in the Primary, I support that challenger. If she has another whacko like Joe Miller opposing her, sorry, I'm interested in the well-being of my State and I'm not sending some whack job to DC.

You and others, especially a couple of the more obnoxious RedState posters, push this meme about her going back on "her word." Lisa was asked, begged really, by practically everybody who was anybody in Alaska business and politics to run a write-in campaign. Alaska had a "coyote" morning when it woke up and saw that it had nominated Joe Miller and it proceded to try to knaw its arm off rather than wake him up. I don't know what I would have done if she'd actually run as a libertarian or some other Third Party since I detest Third Party campaigns and have only seen them elect Democrats by siphoning of conservatives who should know better. We endured eight years of a liberal Democrat as governor here because the same basic groups that supported Joe Miller decided the Republican nominee, and Anchorage businessman, wasn't a "true conservative," so they put up a Third Party "true conservative" and handed the election to the Democrats. If the Alaska Ds had been able to get their act together and put up anyone with Statewide name ID, Alaska, once completely Red would have had two Democrat senators and a State Senate controlled by a Democrat-led coaltion. And we can mostly thank Sarah Palin and her friends for that.
Unfortunately, Lisa took support from Native Corporations and organized labor that may well come at a very high price. They're going to expect some return on their investment and some would be OK with the electorate but too much support for either the Corps or labor will seriously hurt her with the Republican base here.
Even though it has long been a reliably Republican state, Alaska is not a conservative state; it is far more libertarian and there are a lot more bars and whorehouses than churches. Both Palin and Miller however do come from the Interior, roaded area of the State where there is a significant SoCon presence. A generally dull, largely uncontested primary ballot also had a parental notice initiative on it that got the SoCons out in droves, which fact accounts for Miller's narrow victory in the Primary – and it was a very narrow victory, about 2K votes. Interestingly, outside Anchorage proper, mostly carried by Lisa, Miller carried every district connected to the Continental road system and Lisa carried every district accessible only by air or water.October 6, 2011 - 12:39 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Well Dave… First,let's assume that money you believe was wasted was used to promote other candidates in the many states she visited over the past two+ years. That activity costs money, Stuart Williamson posted correctly. Second, while I am struggling to keep my head above water under the current leadership there was very little on my part to be given. In fact, in my case, I was waiting for her to enter before making any sacrifices financially.
I doubt very much Dave, you are capable of recognizing or discerning fact from fiction when it comes to the intelligence of others or what they are capable of. We do know that Americans were sold a bill of goods regarding Obama and his alleged intelligence. We now know that he possesses very little more than a "street" sense of survival, which somehow passes for knowledge.
Further, do you have some greviance with the Tea Party? It is obvious you hold folks who desire smaller government, a strong defense and a lesser tax burden (to name just a few needed corrections) in low regard.October 6, 2011 - 9:32 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Governor Palin can do far more good on the outside.
Just consider the number of congressmen who were helped by her endorsement in 2010, now multiply that by the number of seats open in 2012, coupled with a much larger and more experienced TEA Party movement. Obama may be able to pull out billions of foreign dollars and millions of dead ACORN voters, but he will still be facing a Republican Senate and House, as well as a legislature far more tilted towards the small government TEA Party movement.
Even better, there wil be many gains in the downline elections, and much of the progressive rot can be expurged over the next four years.
As for Governor Palin. if a new Republican administration is in place, they will probably reward her support with some sort of appointment, perhaps even a Cabinet post. Pretty good launching pad for 2020; and Governor Palin will still be in her prime in eight years, with an impressive resume and a mighty political machine behind her.

With all due respect, I disagree; not on the possibilities if there was such an appointment, but of there being such an appointment. The odds are that the Institutional Republicans will force the nomination of Romney. Keeping in mind that the Institutionals are always more than happy to lose to a Democrat if it means that a Conservative is blocked; the Institutionals will make sure that she is not offered any position. I would be happily surprised if a putative President Cain or Perry offered her a position, because she would be a danger to the careers in their administration because she would outshine them.

One constant amongst those who have opposed Sarah Palin purportedly from the Republican side; has been their willingness, nay eagerness, to promote the memes generated by the Left, Journo-List, etc. as their own. It has been interesting watching the reactions in the conservative blogosphere. While there have been calls welcoming Palin supporters to rally around whoever is the eventual candidate is; the most rabid anti-Palin people supposedly on the Right have been having a field day with insults, claiming that it is their right to do so after the campaign so far, and that they will "make nice" later when Palin supporters come crawling back. That kind of tactic, while not outside the bounds of possibility for the Institutionals; strikes me more as part of the Obama For America type thing; which casts the actions and loyalties of those loudest and most insulting to Palin so far in a very different light. Go ahead and insult us, whether OFA operative or Institutional Republican. I for one, have lived by the motto that one is known in part by the quality of one's enemies.

I'm not rich by any means. But I had arranged my affairs so that every month from her announcement to the election I would be able to send $100 to her campaign. That money definitely will not go to the Romney campaign. Could go to a Cain or Perry campaign. Most likely will go to fund primary challenges by Patriots against Institutional Republican incumbent Congressmen, and their eventual general election campaigns. And yes, it may well go through SarahPAC because she has a good track record in supporting those; as opposed to the Institutional Republicans who will support a Democrat over a Conservative every time, even after the primaries.
If Romney is the nominee, I will control my rising gorge and vote for him. But it will be with the clear knowledge that a putative Romney first term will be very close to being Obama's second term unless he is coerced by a Patriot Congress who will not let him go along with the Democrats.
Romney is many things. A fighter is not one of them. Nor is he a Conservative. Nor will he push back. He refuses to commit to repealing Obamacare, restricting himself to "granting waivers to everyone". Granting a waiver to the individual mandate does not cure the problem. The bill is full of power grabs, mandates, tax increases, and reductions in funding for actual medical care. There is no reason that Obamacare means that the Federal government is now the sole source for student loans, or that the government should tell every medical practitioner to forward copies of all medical records for everyone to the Federal government as custodian. Or that the "Death Panels" which are real should exist. Or that $500 Billion should be cut from Medicare. Waiving the individual mandate does not suffice.
So I will look for a fighter; until the nomination is settled. And if I can't find one, I will work to help provide a Patriot Congress to provide the needed coercion to prevent someone with the Institutional's 'R' behind their name from giving away everything.

"I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office – from the nation's governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency".
This best thing she can do is to be president-elect on November 4th 2012.
Don't count her out just yet, this will only increase demand. She lists as her reason "at this time", and she may be gambling that it's more important to be involved in primary battles to keep alive the success she had in that same kind of participation in the 2010 off year elections, that started in the primary nomination process. This moves her possible nomination to that of draft candidacy, most remote. The only candidates so far worthy of the mantle conservative, restorationists are Rick Santorum and Michelle Bachman. Ron paul gets some creds for his libertarian constitutionalism, but not so on foreign policy.
But we hear the constant drumbeat of how "unelectable" they supposedly are. Oh, I see, and crony capitalist whores such as democart party "front runners" whores Rick Perry and Mitt Romney are? Sheesh.

To add a little to my previous comment, Bobby Jindall was born in Baton Rouge, Louisisana, in June of 1971. Marco Rubio was born in Miami, Florida, in May of 1971.

A Romney nomination would be proof positive that the Republicans are not serious about fixing the country but only about the latest swing of the revolving door that is the political class. He is not the candidate to repeal Obamacare and otherwise roll back the welfare state, not the candidate to stand up to the crazed anti-growth liberals, and especially not the candidate who can be counted on to appoint responsible judges. I never pay attention to what politicians say, only to what they have done when they had the power. His record there is highly liberal.

Not true.
A Romney nomination will be a sign that the GOP is serious about fixing the economy and putting Americans back to work. And that should be the main focus of the GOP platform. Everything else should be secondary.
We used to blast Rahm Emanuel for his "Never let a crisis go to waste" agenda–using the economic crisis as an excuse to push all kinds of liberal legislation down the public's throat.
Yet I see a whole lot of conservatives who want to do exactly the same thing: Use the economic crisis as an excuse to push all kinds of conservative ideas, even if their connection to the current economic mess is unclear.
First things first.
Fix the economy and restore full employment.
Romney's success will contrast with Obama's failure.

Unless, how shall I say, a VERY 'CREATIVE' Supreme Court decision were to rule to the contrary, Rubi is NOT a Natural Born American citizen as his parents were not both (or even one) American citizens at the time of his birth, and is hence ineligible to be President or VP. If someone wants to throw the United States Constitution 'under the bus' they have already got their man, Obama.
Agreed,,, 100%. The Dumbocrats threw the Constitution under the bus when they nominated Obama. He is/was not "native born" by definition, because his father was not a U.S. citizen. I still don't understand how he pulled that off.

Sarah Palin has done exactly what she said she was going to do on the day she resigned her Governorship: work tirelessly, OUTSIDE POLITICAL PARTY FENCES, for the cause of Exceptionalism and the defeat of the Socialist/Democrat machine.
She is truly not interested in political position or status. She got into politics not because of ambition for office, but because she wanted to keep dishonest candidates from running her home town. She did so well she was urged to run for higher office. When she was appointed to head the State Commission for the oil and gas industry, she found out that the GOP machine was totally corrupt, and blew the whitle. She ran against their candidate for Governor and won in spite of their dirty tactics – her first big lesson in dealing with unscrupulous, entrenched, top level pols. She cleaned up the State House, selling the private plane, and won re-election. When McCain picked her as his running mate she got thrown off the end of the dock by the RNC elitist crony insiders. She confirmed, for sure, that she would hate living in D.C. and dealing with dirty conniving and back-stabbing and venomous attacks from the old school on both sides and the Marxist press.
A straight-talker, she has done exactly what she promised: carried the message of the T Party, roused conservative middle Americans against the regressive and destructive Obama strategy, and will continue in that role, bringing the full strength of her rhetorical skills, sharp eye for phonies, and hundreds of thousands of followers behind the candidate she prefers, and then behind the eventual nominee. Her objective has never been the White House, or a Cabinet role. It remains what it has always been: honest, cost-cutting government in the service of the electorate – and continuing to live her family life in her beloved Wasilla, AK. Just like she said.October 5, 2011 - 11:01 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Bravo! Your post nailed it.
You came closest to the true Palin and those who knew (supported) her. Any more and it will be coming from Sarah herself.October 7, 2011 - 11:33 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Sarah Palin has played this perfectly… she stayed "in the running" without running for as long as was even vaguely plausible, thus causing the lefty loons to waste ammunition shooting at an illusory target. They can only use the words "crazy" "evil" "racist" etc so many times, and after having called Sarah Palin names so many times, those names will have less impact when the next conservative candidate comes up.
Of course, the liberals hate her so badly that they are *still* attacking her, and will do so on autopilot (as seen in these pages) for some time… again, wasting resources they could be using against people who are running. They can't help themselves, you see… Ms. Palin is a decent person, and nothing inflames the liberal senses like someone who is genuinely good.October 6, 2011 - 1:19 am Link to this Comment | Reply

You just contradicted yourself.
Genuinely good and decent persons don't engage in that kind of cynical scheming.
A true political operative like a Karl Rove or a Rahm Emanuel might dream up a strategy like that.
But a "genuinely good and decent person" doesn't volunteer to be a cat's paw.October 6, 2011 - 5:56 am Link to this Comment | Reply

I have been saying that Sarah wasn't going to run for three years. I usually also said that if she did run I would post that I was wrong in every place where I had confidentally predicted she wasn't running.
I was right.October 6, 2011 - 2:25 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Palin, Christie, and Rubio are not running. Time to focus on the candidates who are. By staying on the fence so long, they distracted the O-campaign and the MSM. Well done.October 6, 2011 - 3:12 am Link to this Comment | Reply

38. Anybody but Obama
Democrat and Republican parties alike are dancing for joy now that Sarah Palin's not running. Stupid Republicans!
"Anybody but Obama" will fail.
A brainwashed public that chose Obama first time around will do it again. Not one GOP candidate left has the inner
strength, character, and popular appeal to beat the Obama organization in the no holds-barred campaign to come.
Nobody but Sarah could do it.October 6, 2011 - 6:50 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Maybe the Divine Sarah has been reading her Greek and Roman and American history? Maybe she realises that the situation is not salvagable? Maybe it's too far gone? Maybe she is tired of being stabbed in the back by her own Party? The Divine Sarah almost got John McCain elected. He chose to throw it away by pushing for and voting the bank bail-outs which no-one wanted. By doing so, he gave the election to Obama. Our present state can be legitimately placed at his feet. Knowing all this, I never wanted her to run for President. Also, the Presidency might well turn her into something less than she is. I wouldn't want to see her diminished.

Let's see. For the Palin supporters here, good for you. But the fact that many of us, indeed most of us, do not support her, may reflect serious and careful observation of her deficiencies – not "buying into" some line that other people have developed. she was a terrible VP candidate. She was not ready. Indeed, as I have written elsewhere, she is the white female Barack Obama – way out of her depth, photogenic, divisive, ideological, representing a missing demographic – but indeed, out of her depth. And a lover of luxury and perks, just like the President. She has more common sense and better positions than Obama, but she simply has no business being anywhere near national leadership. Barack Obama = black male Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin = white female Barack Obama. Divisive and unqualified.October 6, 2011 - 2:31 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Look hard at Mr. Cain. He is bright, a fast learner, refreshing, and has solid ideas. He knows what's broken and, unlike Romney, will not be "Obama Lite."

Media Literacy: Activity 1
Media Survey
Media–including movies, television, the Internet, radio, billboards, music, newspapers, and magazines–educate us, entertain us, and help us form our opinions. They influence our culture by reinforcing accepted values and beliefs. This kit looks at some of the ways media create and disseminate their messages.
Even today, when virtual reality and computer simulations are taken for granted, it is often difficult to believe that what we read, see, or hear is not reality, but is someone's point of view that has been carefully assembled, edited, and constructed.
For example, advertisements can use dramatic music or a solemn-sounding narrator to lend an important or serious tone to their words and images. Similarly, a magazine cover featuring brightly colored text in a soft or fanciful type face suggests entertaining or lighthearted contents. Headlines, cover art, celebrity photos, pop-up ads, movie trailers, flashy graphics, rousing music, and catchy slogans and phrases grab attention and entice consumers.
2001: A Space Odyssey" was released in 1968, before a manned space craft had landed on the moon; today, the film still has a "futuristic" sensibility and reflects uncanny instincts about what space travel would be like. Key choices of the director, production designer, and costume designer, including the choice to use classical music on the soundtrack, give the film a timeless quality. Contemporary visual effects artists who have powerful CGI tools at their disposal still admire the mechanically produced effects in this ground–breaking film.
The media introduce us to unfamiliar places, people, and time periods. Very few people have been to outer space, for example, but movies such as "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) or television programs such as the "Star Trek" series help us imagine what it might be like. The screenwriters of these works may study current scientific research or interview astronauts, but we understand that they will also have to invent many details.
Even a movie about real people and events does not stick strictly to the facts. Actual incidents may be combined or changed for dramatic effect or to suit other needs of the story. Scenes that never took place may be added to better convey the movie's theme.
The 2000 film "Erin Brockovich" is based on the true story of a working-class woman who successfully helped the residents of a small town sue a giant corporation. Although the film is largely faithful to the facts, the real case and the real Erin Brockovich are more controversial and complex than they are portrayed in the film.
Stories told in movies, on television, and in print let us explore who we are and help us imagine who we would like to be. They may shed new light on particular groups, individuals, and events, or they may reinforce false perceptions and negative attitudes. For example, if actors from one ethnic group portray only poor, lazy characters on screen, the public may form a superficial and distorted image of that ethnic group. Similarly, an actor who continually performs heroic roles in films may be expected to behave the same way in real life.
An actor's perceived personal qualities may also affect the way viewers react to his or her screen role. In "Philadelphia" (1993), likeable actor Tom Hanks won an Academy Award for his portrayal of a gay man suffering from AIDS. At a time when the escalating AIDS epidemic met with public fear and hostility, Hanks's participation probably made the story more acceptable to mainstream audiences and allowed them to connect with the movie's message.
Take a survey of your students. Ask them what media they use during the week, including newspapers, books, magazines, Web sites, billboards, movies, television, radio, and video games. Have them name specific examples, and ask them why they use each one, whether for entertainment, information, gossip, connecting with friends, or other purposes. Ask them to log the time they spend during one week watching television, using the Internet, reading a newspaper, watching movies, etc. Discuss what they learned from each source and ask whether they trust the information. Have them explain why or why not.
Extended Activity
Have your students pick a topic such as the presidential election, 9/11, or another event in American history and compare the treatment of that topic in various media such as television, movies, magazines, Internet blogs, and advertisements. Ask them to discuss the ways that the same information can be represented differently to emphasize a specific message.
