I've always liked Kris Allen. Solid musician, nice guy, perfectly deserving of the "Idol" crown. Scintillating? No. Controversial? Not in the least. Witty? Not especially. Relatable? Absolutely. He has no aggrandized ego or sense of self – just an Arkansas boy made good. Even during a quick interview with me by phone a few moments ago, he never sounds bored. He truly makes an effort to be engaged and answer questions the best he can.
He called in from the Alpharetta AT&T store, where he is now signing autographs and kissing babies. (I"m 600 miles away in Alexandria, Va. and did a phoner.). I hope he gets a good crowd.
Anyway, here are excerpts from the interview:
Q: What did you do for your 25th birthday a few days ago?
A: We actually had a show in Albuquerque. It was real fun. We got a cake on stage, from Coldstone.
Q: They didn't put 25 candles on the cake, did they?
A: It was like four, thank goodness.
Q: What was the coolest gift you got?
A: Some fans decided to donate money on my behalf to Heifer International [which provides cows to poor folks in undeveloped countries.] It's been really awesome. It went kind of crazy. They've raised more than $25,000 [equaling 50 cows.].
Q: What's the connection to you?
A: It's based in Arkansas.
Q: Any other goofy gifts from fans?
A: I've gotten some hot sauce. I don't know why. That was weird. Also sour cream and onion crickets. Didn't get that one either.
Q: On Twitter a few days back you wrote, "Thanks Nashville for a great show tonight! Did anyone eat the Wheat Thins?"
A: We were playing a show with Green River Ordinance and I came out and sang a song with them. I was eating Wheat Thins when I came out on stage and started throwing them into the audience.
Q: Are you hoping for an endorsement?
A: They did hear about it and are sending me more Wheat Thins.
[Pure aside: This reminds me of Sandy Duncan? Remember her?]
But here is the Green Ordinance/Kris Allen version of the Beatles "With a Little Help From My Friends" featuring the Wheat Thins:
Q: This is your first solo tour so you are playing a lot of covers. Why did you pick the ones you did?
A: Some are from the show. People dig those. They want to hear those. So there's 'Heartless' of course. We did 'Man in the Mirror." We do "Falling Slowly" most nights. We also did Radiohead [the very dissonant "Paranoid Android"]. I have always loved that and the band got into it, too. We do it every once in awhile. It creeps some people out. It's weird but some people love it, too.
Q: Would it be even weirder if you rapped?
A: I can rap in a very white boy way. But I'd never do it on a CD.
Q: Where are you off to after Atlanta today?
A: I'm heading to New York. I'm going to sing the National Anthem at the Mets game. Then I play Yankee Stadium.
Q: Are you a big baseball fan?
A: Yes! I grew up playing baseball. I'm a big Braves fan. It was TBS that did it. They were often the only baseball team to watch.
Q: Do you like Jason Heyward?
A: I love Heyward. And I think Martin Prado is the shiznit. [Yes. The word shiznit came out of Kris Allen's mouth! Funny!] Although the Mets are catching up and the Phillies are strong, the Braves have been really doing it.
Q: Are you happy with how "Live Like We're Dying" is doing? Top 10 and 1.5 million downloads!
A: I couldn't be any more surprised or ecstatic. It moved up slowly and steadily and did its thing. I can't complain. It's been awesome.
Q: Were people confused over the title of the song since Tim McGraw had a big hit a few years ago with "Live Like You Were Dying"?
A: People would say to me, 'Why did you cover a Tim McGraw song?' I'd say, "Have you hard my song? It's not something Tim McGraw would sing!"
Q: Have you ever played the Tim McGraw song?
A: Once, we did start singing a bit of it during an acoustic show for fun.
Q: Why did you add Pat Monahan [of Train] to your second single "The Truth"?
A: Well, he wrote it. And there's a little bit of marketing to that [thanks to the recent success of "Hey, Soul Sister."].
Q: Why did you latch on as an opener for Maroon 5? [He's going to be back in metro Atlanta next month at the Gwinnett Arena with Maroon 5.]
A: They asked! You can't say no to that. They're a huge band and that first album is one of my favorites. It's freakin' good! [Yes. He said "freakin'!" No cursing from this man!]

Cool! Great interview with Kris Allen, (you know, Kris, the guy who actually won?)
Comes across as a very grounded, down-to-earth guy.
Too bad he wasn't at the AT&T store near Northlake. I'd have gone to see him!
June 24th, 2010
4:43 pm
If Kris Allen can say "shiznit" can I?
Ellen with a memoir, well at least she is old enough to write one.
Thanks Rodney.
June 24th, 2010
4:43 pm
Rosita, thanks for the explanation in the previous thread.
June 24th, 2010
4:43 pm
Thanks, Rodney, for the interview. Kris is a nice kid. I was an Adam fan, but I wish the best for Kris. Time for me to head on out. I am having BLTs for my dinner, made with some of the home-grown tomatoes I got a few days ago. Mmmm. Bye for now.
June 24th, 2010
4:56 pm
Good Interview. A&T store at North Point Mall is close to where I work but I can't go to see him. Oh God, after work I have to drop my twin sister at her second job and pick up my oldest sister from where she work.
June 24th, 2010
5:01 pm
Out of the office tomorrow, so I'll see you guys on Monday.
Have a great weekend weekend everyone.
June 24th, 2010
5:05 pm
Thanks from me too Rodney. Kris (whose name some of us couldn't even REMEMBER until half way through the season, but who turned out okay in my book) seems like a genuinely nice guy.
To pull from last thread — AGT — agree …waaaay too many novelty acts. But I agree that the Glow in the Dark Gang, the kite kid with epilepsy, and a few other acts definitely ARE worth watching. I was sort of bummed when they DIDN'T put through the little girl with the dancers a week or so ago as being "too young, not seasoned enough" then put through some OTHER kids that frankly were not nearly as entertaining as she was. Meh. I do believe that many of the novelty acts they just put through to be filler for their "vegas week" eliminations. Last year really soured it for me — in the first place Nick-who-is-married-to-Mariah is NOT NOT NOT one of my fave people to watch; barely tolerable in my book. In the second place, how the HECK that tuneless country boy made it even to the finals, much less win, was just too weird for words, last season. In the third place, the limitations and restrictions (see harriett's note) REALLY bother me. But yes. mmmmmmmmm Lawrence.
SYTYCD – i like the new format with the alumni — see what happens when someone with savvy like Nigel Lythgoe runs a show????? (are you LISTENING, AI???) i agree that sometimes the all-stars outshine the contestants. That was one reason i REALLY appreciated with Dominic did…he held back a bit in the dance with Lauren last night to let HER be the "star" of the performance. And how she got into that mindset i don't know, but she sure was having trouble coming OUT of it!
and Jose — Jose, bollywood ain't your thing, but kiddo, you're one of the neatest contestants on ANY show I've ever seen, pure entertainment. and mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Robert! omg, i could become a cougar for THAT lad!!!! whew!!!
did i say that out loud???? noooooo way!
Now for the personal news. Just left the doc's office. No gall bladder problems to be seen from all the tests. MAY be something to do with reflux or even an ulcer, i'll go back to my primary doc and see what's up. But i got a relatively clean bill of health so far. Thanks for all the prayers!
And Deirdre!!!! So glad to hear that your situation turned out so completely good!!!! scary, I know.
well, off to do some work…but wanted to let you guys know my thoughts and status.
hugs all around!!!
June 24th, 2010
5:08 pm
From the headline, RH, I first thought you had interviewed 2 people: Kris Allen and some big guy who likes the Braves. Guess I was thinking a bit too literally!
I like Kris and I hope he continues to do well. Good interview and thanks for the accompanying videos!
It seems to me that, for Kris (as opposed to that other guy), it has been all "about the music." …Well, and the Wheat Thins, evidently.
June 24th, 2010
5:37 pm
Thanks, Rodney, for interview and clips. I might actually warm up to Kris if I could understand a single word he's singing.
June 24th, 2010
5:53 pm
I love this interview! Kris really is such an awesome guy. Though i'd disagree and say that he is rather witty…have you seen his twitter? I wanna go see him in concert again!
June 24th, 2010
6:02 pm
Thanks for a good interview, Rodney. Kris is an awesome live perfomer and musician. The videos do not do him justice. It's fun to read the tweets from people at his concerts discovering him for the first time. His album grew on me until now I have it on repeat on my IPod.
June 24th, 2010
6:08 pm
linny, thanks for the update. Seems like they may have eliminated anything too serious. That always helps the mood.
Rodney, great Kris interview. Like the kid a lot. I like his singing and his laid back style. So completely opposite from his opponent on Idol that it was a refreshing and very interesting finale for season 8. Both so very talented and fun to listen to and for very different reasons.
June 24th, 2010
6:38 pm
Great interview with Kris! Sorry you didn't get to met him in person, phoners give him ear juice so he is much wittier in person, LOL!
June 24th, 2010
6:44 pm
"phoners give him ear juice"
What the hell does that mean? Couldn't you just say that Kris is the shiznit in person.
June 24th, 2010
6:52 pm
Nice guy, nice interview.
JT, on the other thread I was wondering how you happened to become familiar with how gay male porn stars look. Still am . . .
Thanx, SZ, re NM, but I am OOC (out o' cash)
June 24th, 2010
7:08 pm
Rosita – cash at N-M? Only cash they see there is when druglords come in to buy Bottega Venetta (sp?) bags for their girl friends!
June 24th, 2010
7:08 pm
Hope you had a good day in ATL, though -
June 24th, 2010
7:10 pm
Lol SZ! I used to pay cash there for my Louboutins and Blahniks, but now I shop at Payless for Okabashi. . . .
Deirdre, sent a good vibe to Maggie as I passed thru.
June 24th, 2010
7:16 pm
Rosita, you come across all sorts of things while surfing the net… some good, some bad. Of course good and bad are determined by the viewer.
June 24th, 2010
7:17 pm
Great interview, Rodney, but I have to take exception when you say Kris is not witty. Just watch him throw out Wheat Thins. That's funny. Also…once Kris really sits down and gets comfortable..he has a really dry wit. And when you see one of his shows…you'll see it come out as well.
Other than that…great interview. Definitely is the winner. Definitely should be the winner. He's awesome.
June 24th, 2010
7:26 pm
Marla, as much as I love Adam, I have to agree w/you about Kris. He is wearing well.
June 24th, 2010
7:27 pm
JT, I guess that would be Rule 34 in the Urban Dictionary again, huh?
June 24th, 2010
7:27 pm
No, Rosita, that would be rule 37.
June 24th, 2010
8:13 pm
Throwing out Wheat Thins is more slapstick than wit.
Rosita, Maggie thanks you!
As far as Kris and Adam are concerned. I like them both, I'm satisfied with Kris as the winner. His style worked in his favor. But we were very fortunate to have had 2, maybe 3 exceptionally talented people in the top 4 and it made season 8 a winner for me.
June 24th, 2010
8:42 pm
The fact that you have to keep reminding everyone that Kris won and deserved to win speaks volums. Judging by what the other guy has done, seems like more people like scintillating, controvercial, and witty more than relatable. Just saying.
June 24th, 2010
9:03 pm
People like different things. Both styles are satisfying and interesting in different ways. Some people prefer Adam(who I love, btw) and some prefer Kris. Doesn't mean one is better than the other or more deserving than the other or even more "relatable" than the other. They are just different kinds of singers.
June 24th, 2010
9:05 pm
Linny, great news about your test results!
Rickster, that was Mercedes S. aka SZ who explained that thang from the previous thread, but I wanta say I think you have got the right perspective on your marriage!
My husband, Bluto, barely took his eyes off the tv when I said goodbye to him this morning. True, I had turned the channel to his favorite show, Animaniacs, and left extra food and water in his cage. . . .
June 24th, 2010
10:48 pm
Guess it's the puritan in me, or perhaps hearing my parents and grand-parents talk about food rationing during The War, but I've never understood wasting food for fun. Throwing wheat thins, pies or cafeteria food, just silly…
June 24th, 2010
11:42 pm
Thanks, it was a great interview with Kris. But, I agree, if you follow him more you'll find him witty. Although sometimes he borders on silly. I like the funny things he does and says as well as the great music. Have you been following ET Mills?
June 25th, 2010
12:17 am
Interesting, we have a JTesla imitator: I did NOT make that 7:27 pm post. Granted it is something that I probably would have posted, but imitators are frowned on for a reason.

interesting interview with Kris Allen there. his career might be moving slow but i do hope that he would stick around. He should be provided with better material for his next album though.
June 25th, 2010
7:47 am
"Judging by what the other guy has done, seems like more people like scintillating, controvercial, and witty more than relatable. Just saying." – Kay, 8:42pm, 6/24
Well, Kay, what you're just saying isn't backed up by the facts. Kris Allen rounded out the Top 10 Idol money makers last year (Adam didn't make the list) according to Forbes magazine.
"The reasons? Though Adam's album sold more than twice as many copies as Kris' there is little money to be made through CD sales, especially if you're just the performer. Songwriters and producers get their cut first. Once you subtract the label's grab there's little left for the artist unless the album sells in the millions and few artists manage that these days." – Forbes
No one here is reminding us that Kris won. We don't need reminding. We all know who won each season! I actually like Adam okay when he's focusing on the music (as in the "unplugged"-type show I saw with him on Logo). I'm just not a rabid fan like some other people.
June 25th, 2010
7:52 am
Oh, and morning, everyone!
Just thinking, I don't believe there's room on this blog for more than one JT! And I'm pretty sure the original was one of those mold-breakers!
June 25th, 2010
7:57 am
Still laughing at "Dad Life"! Nicely done, JT!
June 25th, 2010
8:10 am
Gearing up for long ten days ahead – taking care of three young relatives, 10,10 and 13, from yankeeland. They've been promised canoeing in north Georgia, swimming at Savannah Beach and the aquarium in Atlanta. I've nixed Six Flags (heat stroke) and White Water (e-coli). Should be fun, though, they're great kids.
June 25th, 2010

And now the Americans hold the power. They have come together as a team, they have stared down adversity, and they have managed to drag a nation of non-believing fans into near hysteria. That kind of power is what typical American sports talking-heads refer to as "intangibles."
June 25th, 2010
9:20 am
Just doing a little advertising. Ignore if you have no interest.
June 25th, 2010
9:22 am
Idolatry(link located to the right)has a great interview with Adam up.
June 25th, 2010
9:32 am
Morning, everyone. I need to bust myself. I'm the fake JT poster, sorry. It was the result of too many espresso shots with my Pikes Peak in the ATL. I thought he would rip right back in denial and we'd have a good laugh.
JT: IS there a Rule 37?
June 25th, 2010
9:39 am
Is He a fan of The Rifleman?
June 25th, 2010
9:39 am
Rosita…I kinda suspected that since the poseur wasn't being malicious in any way. Good of you to admit it however. It takes the vague worry off JT's mind.
June 25th, 2010
9:40 am
Good morning. Dad Life is a hoot!
June 25th, 2010
9:41 am
Although JT will deny being worried. He enjoys controversy as much as I do. We call them Porch and Popcorn moments.
June 25th, 2010
9:44 am
Thanks, Deirdre! Love that Dad Life — sent it to three friends!
June 25th, 2010
10:00 am
BTW, Rodney…I keep forgetting to mention the Sandy Duncan video. I used to think she was adorable. Miss her!
June 25th, 2010
10:16 am
Mercedes, I think entertaining those kids sounds like fun. There are no little ones in our family any longer.
June 25th, 2010
10:29 am
Rosita: Thanks. Me worry: not worried enough to call up my posse. There is a Rule 37 and it actually is the perfect rule for the question you asked. "Rule 37: there are no girls on the internet… ever." Some of you might disagree, but there is some truth to it.
Sandy Duncan: I don't even know who that is.
Soccer is futbol: I try to keep up, best source for me for World Cup news.
June 25th, 2010
10:34 am
Sandy Duncan — cute as a button, had one glass eye, Peter Pan, perky before Mary Tyler Moore! I hope she is noshing wheat thins and watching her pool boy, Sr. Big, out by the cabana.
Re wit: It would never be so meh as to show up in a standard media interview, even a very well-done one like the above. It is subtle; it is unexpected; it is there whether you see it or not. Hmmmm, who does that remind us of? (Not you, JTes — or is it?????)
June 25th, 2010
10:51 am
thanks for the interview. Kris is so talented and I love his musical tastes. I think he's there for a long long time
And Kris is witty alright but he just doesn't force it; he's not the show off kind.
Interesting that Maroon 5 asks hime to headlines some of their shows, that speaks well of his talent + band
June 25th, 2010
10:52 am
..also love his 'paranoid android' acoustic cover!
June 25th, 2010
11:16 am
I enjoyed the interview.
June 25th, 2010
6:29 pm
Mercedes, your visitors are far more likely to get e coli from cow manure in the North Georgia water ways than they ever would at White Water!
June 25th, 2010
8:55 pm
Highlander, you want facts. The cut off for Forbes was May. A lot of the money made before that was from the winners package. Kris has a platinum single which he did not write. He co-wrote 9 songs.
Adam has a platinum single which he did not write. He co-wrote 6. Adams album is gold in the US, gold in Singapore, platinum in Canada and New Zeland. His single FYE is gold in Nz and Canada. His single WWFM is plat in US, NZ and Australia, double plat in Canada. His headling tour of 1,500 to 8,500 is selling out across the US. He will do a tour in Asia and Europe when he is done here. What other facts do you need? Somebody likes him doing something besides standing there and singing. And I like Kris okay as well.

Frankie gets busted, and Gee's still having trouble. But as they say, love conquers all...
I woke up alone in my bedroom. For a minute I panicked, thinking me and Frankie and gotten drunk and fucked the previous night. The second part was true. But where was Frankie? The couch was neat, and clean, and Frankie-free. Then I panicked again. What if he left? What if he hates me? "Shit." I muttered, climbing out of bed and starting for the stairs, and then stopping, realising I was naked. That'd be a great sight for Mikey. I rubbed my eyes, ran my fingers through my hair and took a deep breath. "Calm down, fucker." I whispered to myself, walking over to my dresser. And then a peculiar thing happened. I got a craving. It hit me like a sack of fucking bricks. I clamped my eyes shut and felt around for clothes, finding a random pair of briefs, not knowing or caring whether they were due for a wash, and then finding a pair of jeans. I opened my eyes and looked at my hands, which were shaking like crazy. I wrapped them around my shoulders and clutched myself tightly, tapping my foot. "Fuck, Fuck…" I whispered to myself furiously, looking around frantically for a shirt. I quickly spotted a shirt and picked it up and put it on inside-out, and ran up the stairs, tripping twice. "Frankie!" I called, trying to ignore my aching head, and dry mouth. For one night, I had forgot I was a recovering alcoholic, and it was coming back. I ran to the fridge and pulled out the carton of orange juice, and drained the whole thing. My hands were still shaking, so I thought a shower would be the best thing. I walked down the hall, to the bathroom. The door was closed, but not locked, and I opened it and walked straight in, and was horrified by what I saw. "Frankie?" I whispered. He was bent over the toilet with his fingers down his throat. "Frankie… How…" I couldn't finish my sentence as another craving hit me. Frankie looked up at me with wide eyes and trembling hands and stumbled over a sentence slowly "I…Sick…Gee…Can…" And finished by bowing his head. "Whatever, get out. I need to have a shower." He nodded and scrambled to the door. I stepped into the shower and stood under the searing hot water, waiting for the dizziness, the anxiety and pain of withdrawal to leave me.
I sat in the hallway, next to the bathroom, where I had been, throwing up, a few short minutes ago. I heard the water running and assumed Gerard was taking a shower. He had walked in just as I had been tickling my tonsils. I was mortified, but Gerard just told me to leave. He didn't seem that angry… He looked sick or something. So I left, and there I was, in the hallway, biting my nails and feeling sick. I didn't want to ruin everything I had built with Gerard, especially last night… I didn't do it often.. Make myself throw up… It's just, Mama Donna made me eat this huge breakfast and I felt sick. Not fat, or ugly, just sick. Not that Mikey would believe it when he found out. The water jolted to a stop, making me jump up and scurry down to the basement to think of an explanation to offer when Gee came in. I jumped the stair two at a time and sat on the couch, thinking. In a few minutes, Gerard came down, clad only in jeans and a towel around his shoulders. "Hey." He said coldly. "Hi… Are you okay? You looked upset before…" I offered timidly. "Yeah I'm fine… I woke up funny…. Felt really fucked up." He replied, drying his hair with the towel. "Gerard, I can explain… I felt really sick, you know what Mama Donna's like with food…" He said nothing, but nodded. "Are you sure? You can tell me Frankie. I haven't seen you eat in forever… Mikey was talking…" I looked up "Gerard, you've been conscious a big 48 hours, before that I could have been fucking Ray in a fluro BDSM outfit and you wouldn't have noticed." As soon as the words left my mouth I clasped a hand over it, shocked. Gerard looked really hurt. "Gerard. I'm really sorry…I-" He laughed bitterly, cutting me off and saying "No. You know what Frankie? You're right. You wanna know what was really wrong? I wanted a drink. My body was screaming at me for a fucking drink. That's why I was upset." I shrugged "Gerard, you can't help that. It's all apart of getting sober. It doesn't happen overnight, and you can't feel guilty about a few cravings…. But, you didn't drink, did you?" He shot a disgusted look at me "Of course I didn't." Then his expression softened a bit and he said tenderly "Come here. I'm sorry… I think we can forgive each other and forget about this morning. Hey- We both completely forgot about last night" He added, a grin creeping across his beautiful face. "Oh Gerard I couldn't forget it in a thousand fucking years." We hugged each other tightly, and then sat on his bed. "Where's Mikey?" He asked. "Getting Bob from the airport. Ray went home to see his mom again for a while but he'll be back around 3." I said. He hugged me again and pulled me into a long, passionate kiss. "I love you…" he whispered when we parted. He still sounded nervous, or unsure, and I giggled and said "I love you too. But that brings up a question… Are we like, dating?" He looked thoughtful for a second and then said "I actually don't know. Think the guys and our parents would handle it? I mean, it's not like we never will, but maybe we should-" I smiled and said "Take things slow?" He nodded happily "Yeah something like that. So… What are we gonna do till Mikey and Ray get home?" I winked and said "I can think of a few things." He rolled his eyes and pushed me off the bed "Settle down Frankie… Shit, you're first gay fuck less than 6 hours ago and you already want more." I blushed and looked down, but his hand gently pushed my face up by my chin, and he leaned in to kiss me again softly. "Lets go out. Shopping? We can get food and shit and have a mini all-the-guys-at-home party." I said. He nodded and walked to his dresser, pulling out a random shirt and pulling it over his head. He walked to the foot of the stairs, grinning and cried "Lets make a move, Franklineeee!"
Hey guuuuuys. Happy Cinco De Mayo!
Like the way it's going now aaay?

Um, Congrats? MSNBC's Chris Matthews Exalts BuzzFeed Scribe For Being On Show
Wearing a cornflower blue vest that made us ask "Where's Abu?," BuzzFeed's Andrew Kaczynski appeared on MSNBC's "Hardball" yesterday. He was on to discuss the "secret donors" fighting against the confirmation of Chuck Hagel as Defense Secretary.
Kaczynski tells FishbowlDC it's a Brooks Brothers vest which he had just received in the mail. He left his sports coat at home but has "no regrets" on the vest.
But more important than Kaczynski's Prince Ali-inspired garb was the way in which show host Chris Matthews profusely thanked the reporter for appearing on his program.
NYT's Jim Rutenberg was also on as a guest. At the end of the segment, Matthews said, "Thank you, Jim Rutenberg, sir, a great reporter for the New York Times." To Kaczynski… Read more

A formal approach to the history of the novel is illuminative when form itself becomes a marker of virtue, a term at the heart of the so-called "Pamela controversy," whose respondents doubt the virtue of Pamela's accounts. Analyzing the ways in which Samuel Richardson uses the formal components of the account in Pamela helps us to understand just what is at stake in the Pamela controversy. The changes Richardson makes in Clarissa, including proliferating points of view in order to help the reader to trust Clarissa's account and also showing by external means that Clarissa holds herself accountable to her account, reveal a necessary fictional supplement to accounting. This technique resembles strategies that the Bank of England uses, such as its architectural layout, to help the public trust the soundness of its own accounting mechanisms. In this way, formal analysis of Pamela and Clarissa reveals an important link between the rise of public credit and the rise of the novel.

Capital-Skill Complementarity and Inequality: A Macroeconomic Analysis
AbstractThe notion of skilled-biased technological change is often held responsible for the recent behavior of the U.S. skill premium, or the ratio between the wages of skilled and unskilled labor. This paper develops a framework for understanding this notion in terms of observable variables and uses the framework to evaluate the fraction of the skill premium's variation that is caused by changes in observables. A version of the neoclassical growth model is used in which the key feature of aggregate technology is capital-skill complementarity: the elasticity of substitution is higher between capital equipment and unskilled labor than between capital equipment and skilled labor. With this feature, changes in observables can account for nearly all the variation in the skill premium over the last 30 years. This finding suggests that increased wage inequality results from economic growth driven by new, efficient technologies embodied in capital equipment.

Don't worry Benny, I hated Claus. Of course I knew He was You so...

Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
I watched a good bit of SNL in the 90s when it was actually funny. I always enjoyed Walken when he was on.
I watched when it was the original "Not ready for Prime Time Players,", and then sparsely after that. I didn't think Murphy or Myers were that great. Funny, but not up to the level everyone had them at.
Walken is the scariest guy alive. I saw him playing a farmer on some Hallmark movie, and I was waiting for him to rip some one's eyeball out.
I just wanted to make alles klar.
Eh, it was a great idea, but it got derailed before it left the station. Nothing wrong with that, it was entertaining for a day.
Benning, as always, brings the laughs and keeps the forum bright and lively.
Otherwise we are stuck with Celebrity Death Threads, Tango bitching about everything under the sun, Cane pumping the Colt Horse from behind, Ineffable making timely and quotable posts, bkt taking a liberal to task and stalkingbear/RL/spittinfire taking out some hate on a new guy.

So remember that one time Jennifer Aniston was pregnant? And that other time Jennifer Aniston was pregnant? And that OTHER time she was pregnant?? Except, of course, it turned out Jennifer Aniston WASN'T pregnant any of those times. Disappointments galore. (For us, I mean. Does Jennifer Aniston even want to be pregnant? Does it matter?! No, not a bit.)
Anyway, THIS time Jennifer Aniston really could be pregnant. Oh, stop humming "Won't Get Fooled Again" under your breath. THIS time we have all kinds of reasons to believe the 43-year-old actress is with child. At last! And here they are:
Six Reasons Why Jennifer Aniston Pregnancy Rumors Are Probably True This Time
1. Jennifer Aniston was recently spotted covering her stomach with a sweater on the way out of Barney's. Proof positive, that's all I have to say.
2. Aniston reportedly turned down margaritas at her very own party, opting for non-alcoholic beverages instead. Turned down margaritas?! Hello, Mr. Stork!
3. Aniston has now pulled out of two -- count 'em, two! -- upcoming films.
4. Aniston reportedly turned down sushi at her very own party, opting for non-sushi instead. Turned down sushi?! Hello, Mr. Stork!
5. Jennifer Aniston wore a coat. A big coat.
6. Aniston went to a spa for 4 hours. Presumably for some mama-to-be pampering, of course. AND she wore baggy clothes to said spa.
What do you think?
Is Jennifer Aniston really pregnant this time?
Image via PacificCoastNews
I think there are many more things going on in the world that we should be discussing. Really?
^^^^^^^^ I think a little fun now and then is perfectly ok, especially when the other things going on are sad and dark. Lighten up.
Amen keriley1, more fluff like this crap, less sadness & anger pieces. I could use more distraction from the realities.....
No she is not pregnant, like she wasn't pregnant the last 100+ times we have all heard this story. Your points make no sense....
1. Why then did she not cover her belly at the spa? Why cover this "bump" one day and then not a couple days later while wearing a tight top????
2. Her turning down drinks comes from UK tabloids, which are so not reliable.
3.She pulled out of those films because no one will finance them! None were even close to being made. She is however still attached to film another film in February.
4. Turning down Sushi is from a tabloid again, which make up 99% of their stories.
5. So what? People wear coats when not pregnant. Why was she not even trying to hide her stomach at the spa???
6. Her clothes at the spa were not even close to baggy and tons of non pregnant women go to the spa.
Long comment, but her fans are way too desperate for her to have a kid. Nevermind the fact that she is almost 44.
I hope she is so that all the rumors can finally stop. Plenty of women have children in their 40's Elizabeth.
Agree with ^^^^^. This is Hollywood, women are having (healthy) babies in their mid-40s. They have the money to properly care for themselves,eat right and get fertility treatments.
hahahaha!!!! poor woman, she has been pregnant for the last 4 or 5 years now. If she is, great for her.

Get Breaking News First
DAVIS (CBS13) – There are new parents on campus at UC Davis after three firefighters delivered their newborn baby.
"I cannot simply imagine what would happen because the baby had already started to come out," said new father Senhua Huang.
What seemed like it would be a typical hospital delivery for new parents was anything but.
After being sent home from the hospital, Yuan Liu went into labor inside their home on campus at UC Davis.
"We were freaked out before they came. We called 911 and they responded really quick," said Liu.
Crews from UC Davis Fire Department rushed to the scene.
"I have never had anything like this in my field or career, so this was definitely a once in a lifetime thing," said firefighter Braden Burrhus.
Liu was in full labor.
There was no time for the new mom to go back to the hospital, so fire crews and ambulance personnel acted quickly.
"There are tons of complications as well as with the mother. She could go into shock as well as blood loss, so you essentially have two patients here," said Burrhus.
After 40 minutes, weighing in at 8 pounds and 14 ounces, baby Alan was born.
"I quickly decided that I should be the one to hold the baby and keep it warm while they took care of mom afterwards," said firefighter Gina Updegraff.
This is the third baby to be delivered on campus in 20 years and many say it will be the most memorable.
"It's a great story to tell him when they grow up. The first person to hold him was not a nurse, but a firefighter," said Liu.
"It was remarkable, just remarkable," said Updegraff. "It was just a great experience with the family and the firefighters."
Now days later, the team who was there for the delivery came back to check in on the new family.
Mom and baby are doing well and dad is one proud parent.
"I am very grateful," said Huang. "I cannot thank them anymore for their help."

998cc, 195bhp, 185mph, Insurance group 17
With its new short-stroke engine, ride-by-wire throttle, frame and a host of clever electronic upgrades, this the F4's biggest overhaul since MV turned their flagship superbike back from a 1078cc, into a 1000 in 2010. Like a well set-up race bike it carves through corners with minimal effort, making it the best-handling F4 ever. It's also the first production bike ...
998cc, 201bhp, 186mph, Insurance group 17
It's the most powerful and refined F4 MV Agusta has ever produced. Making a claimed 201bhp at the crank, it just pips the ZX-10R's 200.1bhp crank figure to make the Italian beauty the most powerful 2011 road-going superbike. It has a new short-stroke engine (hence the Corsacorta tag) with an exhaust note to die for, traction control, Ohlins suspension, an ...
921cc, 130bhp, 158mph, Insurance group 17
The 920 is the new entry-level MV Agusta Brutale which, despite lashings of Italian flair and 130bhp performance, costs the same as a Yamaha FZ1 at £9999. It has a number of changes aimed at keeping the cost down over the bigger capacity 990R and 1090R bigger brother.
998cc, 186bhp, 186mph, Insurance group 17
MV's new-generation F4 is still an unashamed racing bike with lights, but the Italian firm have smoothed out all the old rough edges and created a thoroughly usable superbike for the road. It's 10kg lighter too. It's still not as soft or cuddly as a Japanese 1000, but it has considerably sharper teeth and is a thousand times more exclusive ...
982cc, 142bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 17
Don't think of the Brutale 989R as a watered-down version of its 1078RR bigger brother; it's a powerhouse of a bike in its own right. MV claim a massive 142bhp from the crank and a top speed of 165mph, which puts it right up there with the best in the super naked class. Compared to the Brutale 910, the 989R ...
998cc, 183bhp, 182mph, Insurance group 17
It's called the '312' because MV claims it'll do 312km/h, which equates to about 193mph. When we put it to the test it only managed 182 along a two-mile runway, albeit in a headwind. Costing fifteen grand it needs to be head and shoulders better than the GSX-R1000s and R1s of the world, and it isn't.

According to the post on his site, Volpin built the hammer head out of cut styrene sheets and pvc foam board, so it's hollow, making the heaviest part of the hammer the wood handle. He states that all in all, it's around 8.5 pounds. For comparison's sake the Epic Weapons LARP version of the Doomhammer weighs 3 pounds, and their upcoming steel replica weighs 18 pounds.

2013 Academy Award Recipients
Based on recommendations from the Leadership Development and Qualifications Committee, the Research Submissions Committee and the Education Committee, the Board of Trustees selected the following recipients of 2013 AAP awards. The recipients were recognized at the 2013 AAP Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA.
Gold Medal: Dr. Louis F. Rose
The highest award bestowed by the Academy, this award is given annually in recognition of outstanding contributions to the field of periodontics. Founded in 1967, it is sponsored by Sunstar Americas, Inc.
Dr. Louis F. Rose has been an active contributor to the field of periodontics and the American Academy of Periodontology for over 40 years. Dr. Rose obtained his DDS from Temple University, his certificate in periodontics from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, and an MD from the Medical College of Pennsylvania. He became a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology in 1980. Beyond his academic credentials, his successful Philadelphia periodontal practice, and significant contributions to the periodontal literature, Dr. Rose has increased general dentists' exposure to periodontics through his work as Editor-in-Chief of the Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry since 2008. He serves on numerous other editorial boards, including the Journal of Periodontology, the International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, and the Journal of Esthetic Dentistry.
Dr. Rose has served on many AAP committees, including the Education Committee and the Continuing Education Oversight Committee. He was director of the American Board of Periodontology from 2005 to 2011. Outside dentistry, he has also done extensive work with medical organizations, including serving as president of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and as professor of surgery and medicine at the Drexel University School of Medicine.
Dr. Rose, hailed by his peers as an excellent leader, was honored with an AAP Special Citation in 2000. He has acted as a mediating voice during times of debate, has willingly shared his expertise in periodontal medicine with colleagues, and served as an example to younger practitioners entering the field through his numerous contributions as an author and educator.
Master Clinician: Dr. Stephen S. Wallace
This award is given to an Academy member who has practiced and demonstrated consistent clinical excellence in periodontics. This award is sponsored by Hu-Friedy.
Dr. Stephen S. Wallace earned his DDS from the New York University (NYU) College of Dentistry in 1967 and his certificate in periodontics from the Boston University School of Dentistry in 1971. He served as a clinical associate professor at the NYU Department of Implant Dentistry for nearly 20 years, and is currently serving in that role at Columbia University, where he instructs his students on the latest procedures in sinus surgery and implant dentistry. Called a "consummate teacher" by his peers, Dr. Wallace also provides courses through his private practice to help colleagues who wish to improve their skills in implant dentistry.
A practicing clinician for over 28 years, Dr. Wallace is considered an authority on bone regeneration, sinus elevation, and dental implants. He has published over 30 papers and given more than 1,000 presentations on subjects related to implantology. According to his nominator, his "collaborative work with the NYU Department of Implant Dentistry has provided great insight into the histologic and clinical efficacy of recombinant growth factors, bone morphogenetic proteins, and bone graft materials relative to sinus surgery."
Dr. Wallace's experience as a clinician has continued to benefit his peers within the American Academy of Periodontology, where he has shared his expertise through lectures on sinus surgery at Annual Meetings, and served as a reviewer for the Journal of Periodontology. Dr Wallace is also a reviewer for the International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry and is a past president of the Connecticut Society of Periodontists.
Distinguished Service: Dr. Henry Greenwell
Established in 2008, the Distinguished Service Award is presented to an AAP member selected for distinguished service to the Academy in more than one area, over a period of not less than 20 years.
Dr. Henry Greenwell obtained his DMD from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in 1977 and his certificate in periodontics from Case Western Reserve University in 1982. He also earned his JD from the University of Louisville School of Law in 1980.
Dr. Greenwell has been an active contributor to the American Academy of Periodontology for over 30 years, serving as Editor-in-Chief of Periodontal Literature Reviews and chairman of several committees including Research, Science and Therapy, Periodontal Therapy, and the AAP Foundation's Tarrson Oral Plastic Surgery Award Selection Committee. He has been a frequent participant in the scientific programs at AAP Annual Meetings and is a reviewer for the Journal of Periodontology as well as seven other refereed dental journals.

Yucca Rostrata is a stunning desert Yucca which forms nearly spherical heads, has numerous long bluish-green to bluish-grey leaves of 40 to 60 cm long. Although the tips of the foliage are pointed this Yucca does not have the stiffness of foliage like other Yuccas and is therefore quite harmless.
Fantastic architectural plant indoors or outdoors. The panicle is about 60 cm long, which consists of fleshy white flowers. The plant can withstand temperatures down to -15 degrees Celsius, when rooted properly. See also Yucca Gloriosa
Yucca Rostratas are regularly used in contemporary garden designs due to their clean architectural shape. These Yuccas are commonly known as Beaked Yucca, Silver Yucca or Big Bend after the region in Texas where it grows in abundance.

I'm driving a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara this week, painted pitch black and spiffed up with the MOPAR chrome package. It took me a few hours behind the wheel to remember one important aspect of owning a Jeep.
And I mean a "real" Jeep. You know, the Wrangler.
When you cross paths with another Wrangler, or TJ, or YJ, or CJ, you mustn't forget to salute. I apologize to the first 2-3 Jeep owners I didn't wave to during the first day of my week-long test.
As dumb or childish as it may seem, it's actually one of the perks of owning a Wrangler. You become part of the family, a bunch of people who understand why you bought a gas-swilling, cramped SUV that's as aerodynamic as a tool shed on the highway, and drives like one, too. Ok, the current-gen Wrangler has improved in that regard.
Being part of the Jeep family also means you'll get together and go off-roading as a group, which is fun. You'll share a common interest with other people and develop good friendships. You're likely to never feel lonely when owning a Jeep.
Whether you buy the base Sport trim or the rock-climbing Rubicon, it doesn't matter; there's no secret handshake to learn, and as long as you remember to wave at other Jeep owners, you'll be OK. You don't necessarily have to salute owners of other Jeep models, especially those driving sissy Compass and Patriot models.
Call it a cult, call it a religion, but I call it cool. I feel like a non-conformist at the helm of the Wrangler, and I'm lovin' it. I assume I'm not the only one; Wrangler sales in 2011 jumped by 41% compared to 2010. And in the first quarter of 2012, sales climbed by 56% compared to the same period in 2011. That's a lot of tool sheds on wheels.
Right now, I can't think of any other model – car or truck – that creates such a strong allegiance amongst its owners. A passion for the automobile brings people together, and when I see manufacturers working on cars that drive by themselves – and they will arrive on the market at some point – I'm afraid that passion could someday be doomed.

Pro-Life Resources
The MARCH FOR LIFE continues to be a leader in the pro-life community and it is our goal to continue fight and inform the public on how we can overturn Roe v. Wade. Our job is not done until the voiceless have a voice that is heard. Realizing that no sound action can grow out of a vacuum of purpose, in 1974 the MARCH FOR LIFE formulated and included in its charter of incorporation. Purposefully, the Life Principles are not framed in the negative tone of "thou shalt not," and are framed in the positive tone of duty and responsibility of each human being and of society.
Throughout this year, the March for Life will embark upon new educational initiatives to broaden our movement as well as deepen it. We desire for every pro-lifer to be educated on the issues so that they can promote life and influence people. Stay tuned for updates!

Please enter a valid mileage
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 8.6
Unsatisfied with the Altima's runner-up status, Nissan reaches for leadership in America's toughest car segment with a choice of fuel-efficient 4-cylinder or V6 power, the industry's best continuously variable transmission (CVT), handsome styling, sporting dynamics, and a suite of available features competitive with anyone. It follows Toyota's revamped 2013 Camry, Chevy's all-new Malibu and VW's Americanized Passat to market but precedes Honda's 2013 Accord and Ford's new Fusion by a few months. Its mission is simply to beat all of them to take over leadership in this very tough field, and we think it just could.
Most mid-size sedan competitors have moved away from available V6 engines in favor of turbocharged fours to ensure CAFE compliance, but this new Altima is the exception for those who still prefer smooth V6 power. And the wide-ratio CVT automatic delivers best-in-class fuel economy with the standard 4-cylinder engine.
While this new Altima looks plenty good, some may prefer the somewhat bolder styling of competitors as the Sonata, Optima, Malibu and Fusion. Some may also shy away from the different-feeling CVT in favor of a conventional automatic transmission, and only the Passat (so far) offers a choice of fuel-frugal diesel power.
out of 41Fuel Economy
out of 41Horsepower
Nearly everything but the engines is either all or substantially new, beginning with the Altima's "class-above" looks, inside and out, and extending to a raft of new features, some class-exclusive. The CVT automatic transmission, thoroughly revamped for pleaseability and efficiency, accounts for much of its class-leading fuel economy.
Driving Impressions Thanks largely to a new multilink rear suspension and the much-improved CVT, this is a finer-driving Altima than any before it. Around town, on freeways and on twisty back roads,...... the 2013 Altima feels tight and nimble yet quiet and comfortable on all but the nastiest surfaces, perhaps because its engineers benchmarked the size-smaller BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Much appreciated were the electro-hydraulic power steering, more precise than typical electric boost yet more energy efficient than pure hydraulic, and Active Understeer Control, which brakes the inside front wheel slightly to help get around a curve you may have entered a bit too fast. The 3.5-liter V6 is strong, but the massaged 2.5-liter four is more than adequate – Nissan clocks it at 0-60 mph in 7.1 seconds) – at least for light loads and level roads. The unique multifunction rearview camera performed its lookout jobs well, and the NASA-inspired seats proved as fatigue-reducing as claimed.
The new Altima's tire pressure monitoring system does more than simply providing individual tire-pressure information. When adding air to any tire, the hazard lamps flash to tell you the system is working, then the horn beeps to let you know when you have reached the correct pressure.
Part of an available Technology Package, the Altima's rearview camera provides not just the usual what's-behind-me view when reversing, but also Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Moving Object Detection, the latter two firsts in this segment.
The 2013 Nissan Altima's cabin is finely crafted with soft-touch materials, but its prime attraction is NASA-inspired "zero gravity" front bucket seats, which approach the relaxed "neutral posture" that the human body assumes in a weightless environment. We can't test them in space, but we appreciate the research, development and attention to detail that have gone into making them as fatigue-reducing as possible by lessening muscular and spinal loads and improving blood flow. Cloth seats and piano-black trim with chrome accents are standard, leather and metallic or faux wood are available, the former with a charcoal interior, the latter with blond.Exterior
About the same length as the outgoing Nissan Altima, the 2013 model sits on the same wheelbase but with 1.4-inches-wider tracks and 0.8-inch-deeper fenders to accommodate larger wheels and tires and give the sedan a strong, athletic stance. Its drag coefficient is a slick 0.299. And while the new Altima's nicely sculpted new body is less expressive than the Sonata's and maybe a bit less pretty than the Malibu's or Fusion's, it's easily more distinctive than the Camry's or Passat's.
The base Altima 2.5 offers a 6-way manual driver's seat and a 4-way front passenger seat, plus a 60/40-split/folding rear bench seat, power windows and doorlocks, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel with touch controls, remote keyless entry with a pushbutton ignition, NissanConnect Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, and a 4.0-inch color customizable Advanced Driver Assist display. Altima S and SV models add features leading up to the top-line 2.5 SL and 3.5 SL models loaded with leather, premium trim, dual-zone automatic climate control, BOSE Premium Audio, and heated front seats/steering wheel/outside mirrors, plus 18-in. wheels and tires on V6-powered models.
With most major features attached to specific models, the 2013 Altima offers just three option packages and two stand-alone options (a remote start and rear spoiler). A Convenience Package and a Navigation Package are available on SV models, and a Technology Package further loads up top-line SL models. On SV and SL Altimas, NissanConnect comes with a 5.0-inch color audio display, integrated Hands-Free Messaging Assistant (it lets you listen to incoming texts and verbally respond with stock replies), SiriusXM satellite radio, and Pandora integration. With Navigation, NissanConnect gets a 7.0-inch touch screen with voice recognition, split-screen display and 3D-effect map views.
Running counter-trend, Nissan continues to offer a V6 as its "up" engine. The 2.5-liter four is redesigned for lighter weight and higher efficiency, while the 3.5-liter V6 is improved to reduce its fuel consumption. Both drive the Altima's front wheels through the only gearbox offered, Nissan's next-generation Xtronic continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), which has a wider ratio spread, improved control logic and 40 percent lower friction than the one it replaces. Not everyone loves a CVT, which drives engine revs ahead of vehicle speed during strong acceleration, but this one accounts for 15 percent of the new 4-cylinder's efficiency improvement and 10 percent of the V6's gain over 2012s, and it comes with fixed-ratio-simulating manual shift paddles on uplevel models.
2.5-liter inline-4
182 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
180 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 27/38 mpg
3.5-liter V6
270 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
258 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 22/31 mpg
The 2013 Nissan Altima starts at $22,280 MSRP (including destination), a bit more than the comparable 2012 VW Passat and 2013 Hyundai Sonata, but slightly less than the 2013 Toyota Camry or Chevy Malibu. A loaded 3.5 SL V6 stickers at about $31,000. We expect the all-new 2013 Honda Accord and Ford Fusion to come in somewhat higher when they arrive later this year. The Altima's resale value should also be mid-pack, a little less than perennial favorites Camry and Accord, but better than the rest in this highly competitive class.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 38,125overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Read my reivew"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"I own a 2013 Altima S (2.5). Black/Blue color. I had to give my son my 2002 Acura TL to get back and forth to school and work. I loved that car. Needless to say, I had to look for a new car that was good on gas A MUST. I got the S since I'm not into HiTech screen displays, multimedia etc...in the car as I don't spend too much time in it. I wanted a good car that drove nice and good on gas. The styling inside is very sleek. I like the chrome detail which some people may not care for. Seats feel deep which I like but you can raise the chair up. The car would be ideal for very tall people, which I am not. I feel very safe in it and it does not have a "tin" feeling. Solid car tht can play with the best of them. The car has guts. She's got moxy. Drives very nice for mid-size sedan with great handling. luxurious feel while feeling sporty. Best bang for your buck staying in a reasonable budget for luxury. If you have soda pop money and can't afford a Lexus, this will suffice. I've read people complain about the CVT, but once it cruises is very quiet. Don't even notice. The car is very easy over bumps. This does not have your typical gears; D, D1, D2, D3. It has D and Ds since the transmission does not change gears. Some people may not like in bad weather (snow/ice) for lack of control over the gears for them that want such. For comfort, I gave a 7. The seats are very nice and comfy with the zero gravity and lots of room. The only thing that bothered me was the headrest, for me the driver. It tilts forward, and makes my head need to lean forward at the neck. I try to correct by leaning the seat back to adjust. Other than that, very comfy. I hear people make remarks over the camera (backup) in the other models. These are Drive Assists to help and aide, not to watch movies. These are to aide driving, not do it for you. Me, I trust my own eyes. I've been driving since I was 17 and am now 43. I don't need blind spot, lane departure or cameras, I've been hit by idiots though which these features do ZERO in that respect. Some people like these tid bits and I do respect the technology that it is there for people that like this. The car is very good on gas. I drive 33miles in total to work."

"My husband and I bought this car because of its comfort and appearance. The 2015 Nissan Altima SV is a great car with a very powerful 4 cylinder engine. The sound system is great and we have the tech package. We chose the Saharan Stone color which looks so classy. The fuel mileage has been incredible so far averaging over 32 MPG around town. The Michelin tires are so quiet and the overall handling is great! This is a great car for the price!"

Anti-graft wars: Empire strikes back at Team Anna
They rode a popular wave of discontent over spiralling corruption to force the government to bend to their demands and led an otherwise fractious parliament to arrive at a consensus on an anti-graft bill, in the process becoming media celebrities — their figurehead even hailed a national hero.
But now, activists led by Anna Hazare, whose campaign against corruption captured the imagination of millions across the country and prompted round-the-clock media coverage, say they are being targeted by official machinery for ruffling important feathers.
Hazare's aides Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and Prashant Bhushan have all received breach of privilege notices from parliament for derogatory comments they reportedly made against legislators.
Kejriwal has also received another notice from the IT department asking him to pay 9.27 lakh rupees ($20,196) in dues for alleged violation of bond clauses while serving in the government.
Bedi received the privilege notice for accusing politicians of wearing "several masks", while Bhushan is said to have accused MPs of taking bribes to pass laws, though he denied this.
Anna Hazare himself has been accused of misusing a trust fund headed by him. Media reports said a government task force found the expenditure of 2.20 lakh rupees on Hazare's 60th birthday celebrations amounted to misapplication of funds of the Hind Swaraj Trust.
The whole affair has a precedent. In June, the government began probing the assets of popular yoga guru Baba Ramdev, whose $40 million-a-year yoga empire hadn't raised official eyebrows till then, after he launched an anti-graft agitation.
The government denies targeting anyone, but activists insist the timing, for instance, of the IT notice on Kajriwal smacks of a "vindictive attitude".
With 'Team Anna' threatening more activism in future, they will invite more scrutiny of their personal and public life, their past history and dealings dug up for any skeletons (deservedly or not).
The "breach of privilege" notices issued by Parliament to actor Om Puri and members of Team Anna such as Kiran Bedi cannot, I believe, sustain a challenge in the Supreme Court. This is because the "breach of privilege" and "contempt of parliament" clauses were not created for offenses as trivial as someone calling MPs names. The libel has to affect Parliament's ability to function – that is the spirit of parliamentary law, spelled out clearly. If an eminent lawyer were to challenge these breach of privilege notices in the Supreme Court, I believe he could win. To see the full arguments for this, please see http://www.leftbrainwave.com/2011/09/are -breach-of-privilege-notices-sent.html and http://www.leftbrainwave.com/2011/09/doe s-parliament-have-right-to-issue.html
Thank you.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - The Turner County Sheriff's Office has been awarded $15,000 to purchase a new vehicle to be used in drug investigations.
Attorney General Marty Jackley announced that the money was awarded out of the Drug Control Fund. The award will assist local law enforcement in drug control and apprehension purposes.
Jackley says the Drug Control Fund allows law enforcement across the state to request funds to offset expenses that arise from drug control efforts.
