categories ... such as hulu
Hulu to start charging you money. (And that's a good thing?)
By Jeff Horwich // Posted: 07/01/10 07:00 AM
(Today's episode features guest host Jeff Horwich)
This week online TV service Hulu started rolling out Hulu Plus, a paid option that offers more content but also changes the game because, you know, it's not all free any more.
You might think this would be nothing but annoying, especially since you still have to watch the same ads as on the free Hulu service. But Hulu Plus (which is currently available by invitation only; that will change soon) comes with some bonuses: Big extra back-catalog access to popular shows, and new Hulu Plus apps for iPad, iPhone, Xbox and more. Gizmodo's Matt Buchanan has been checking out the new offerings, and joins us on this episode with the highlights.
Is Hulu Plus — this model of asking people to pay a subscription for on-demand access to shows — the beginning of the end of TV as we know it? Dan Frommer of Business Insider thinks Hulu Plus is great and all, but it's no cable-killer. He drops by with some thoughts on the bigger picture.
What do you think: Is Hulu Plus going to change your TV habits? Or are you annoyed that the great heyday of free (good) TV on the web could be all too short?
today's show
What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

More reviews by FarAwayGalaxies
Soft, beautiful, yet very pigmented colors! I absolutely love this blush. I usually go for a gel or liquid blush like Benetint but I wanted a more pinky tone so I tried this. It blends SO smoothly!! It looks very natural and on my fair skin I don't need to apply any more than one to two coats of this on the apple of my cheeks and I'm good for the day! The pink is bright and youthful and EXACTLY what I've been looking for as far as color and that easy glide natural look. I just went back and bought two more! Love these!

So, I didn't buy this for myself. I actually went makeup shopping with two of my cousins. Both of them got this blush. One got it in Rose Petal and the other got it in Hot Tamale. (note: both of them are naturally tan) The cashier let us try them out. It is very soft and blendable. But not very pigmented. The packaging is cute but small. And $6.99 for that small of a blush?! Terrible pricing. I wouldn't buy this again, no matter how much I want to like it...

I'd been avoiding wearing blush for the last year or so because my face tends to have a red blotchiness. Once I even out my skin tone and get rid of the redness with foundation, the last thing I want to do is add redness back to my face. This blush looked so interesting I decided to give it a try. The way it mushes in the container is a bit weird, but I love how it goes on light and just gives a nice natural rosy glow to my cheeks.

I was skeptical about this product because i am black and blushes like this usually tend to look ashy or not show up at all.
But i purchased this in Peach Satin and i was so surprised...
It looked quite nice.
The texture is a little hard to apply, but i think the idea of this is that you have to build it up by rubbing the blush, then dotting it on your face.
I hate when blushes look too intense, but this product looks really natural.
Again, i am black! i don't know how it couldn't show up on some of you fair skinned ladies.
My only complaint is after i took a nap, it disappeared,,.i wasn't wearing any primer though, i'm not sure it that makes a difference.
Will buy again in hot tamale this time.

obviously the idea behind this product is pretty cool but that still does not make up for the quality of it. if you're looking for a blush that is pigmented this is certainly not it. I bought one of the darker colors yet i still had to keep going back to get more product, its a hassle to apply it because you keep tugging on our skin to see any color. honestly for 7 dollars (the actual price i bought it for) you can buy other blushes way better than this one. definitely do not buy this product one of maybelline's duds
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Worst blush I've ever used. The colors look so pretty in the package, but I can hardly see color on my face at all! With my dry skin, the weird putty just sort of sits on top of my skin and looks cakey and odd. It doesn't blend well, and gets really messy in the package after a few tries at it. Never again.
Bought this when I purchased the Dream Fresh BB Cream and oooooh lordy! I loved it at first but it was a pain to apply. When I was using it it just felt like bubblegum chunks. Its a cute concept but they are not very pigmented. If you are going to uses this you should definitely set it with a powder blush for it to last longer and add more color. Also, my skin isn't very pimple prone but it was breaking my cheeks out! After a week or two of wearing this I noticed little zits and I threw it out. I have normal to dry skin and I definitely would not recommend this for someone with oily skin.The price was not great for a drugstore brand either! And its TINY. I'll give it a 1 because I did like how it looked in the beginning.
Pretty much: its not long wearing, not pigmented enough, it broke me out, it was a little pricey for a drugstore blush and you don't get very much.
More reviews by xxmakeuplover123xx
Although the unique idea and the way they present it is enticing, the actual blush itself doesn't work very well. Although the color is nice, it doesn't last long on my skin. Also, the blush itself is a weird mixture between powder and cream, which you can't apply with a brush. However, if you try to use your fingers it'll dent the strangely textured formula (which, by the way, isn't bouncy at all).
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this -- the idea seemed fun, but it was just a gimmick and a disappointment.
When I bought this, I thought it was a powder blush. I'm not into cream blushes at all. So I was disappointed when I opened it and realized it was a creme. This is a super weird texture, the second I touched the blush it almost deflated. It got super flat. I tried to take some out with my finger and it is super thick in texture, although it's smooth...it's hard to describe. The color is absolutely horrendous. No color payoff. I got a fairly bright color and it hardly even showed up. In order to get this to show, you'd have to layer it, and then you're gonna look super cakey because of this consistency. Such a waste of money.
All of the reviews are correct, this is not a very pigmented product, but I don't believe it is advertised that way. I have VERY fair skin and have a hard time finding a blush that isn't too overpowering. Dream Bouncy blush, with it's lack of deep pigment is just right (although, lets be serious, the name is ridiculous). I usually apply with a makeup sponge because it seems to apply more evenly. The packaging is. . . meh.

But it's hard to argue the Terrapins deserve to be ranked even with that gaudy record. They lost their only marquee nonconference game to now unranked Kentucky on a neutral court. And while wins over Northwestern and George Mason are nice, they aren't exactly attention grabbers. So what does Maryland...

Technological capabilities and patterns of cooperation of UK firms: a regional investigation
AbstractThis paper focuses on the relationship between firms' technological capabilities and different forms of cooperation for innovation by combining the analysis of both micro and meso levels, i.e. the level of the firm and of the geographical region. Our findings, based on the Fourth UK Community Innovation Survey (CIS), provide new insights regarding the relationship between cooperative linkages for innovation and the development of technological capabilities by business units. Firstly, the distinction between competences and capabilities adopted in this paper seems appropriate for going beyond the rather simplistic dichotomy of 'innovative' versus 'non-innovative' firms commonly used in interpreting CIS data. Secondly, we find that the analysis for the UK as a whole masks stark regional differences in terms of intra- and extra-region collaborative linkages and degrees of firms' technological capabilities. These findings may be useful to help policy making to meet the priorities highlighted within the UK Government's framework for Science & Technology.

really good sequel. cant ask for more.

A necessary expansion with various engine improvements and a ton of mods available. Surprisingly, this game has better graphics than lots of mainstream crap today, at least on NVIDIA cards with SSAO and supersampling enabled. This is why HL2 E2 has so many modifications.

good game
Jan 27th, 2014 0 people agree 0 people don't
Good game, but not really innovative and not so atmospheric as original and even Ep1 (what can be more epic than destroyed Citadel?). Although, some time before I liked Ep2 more than Ep1, things changes, and I can't preffer one over other right now.

Amazing story line, nice single player action, good animations, effects, enemies, a good game all around
Dec 3rd, 2013 0 people agree 0 people don't
Any way you look at it, Episode Two stands out, even among the Half-Life series, as something special. It may be shorter than the original, but it's a burly experience packed into roughly six hours or so that offers up all the diversity, level design, and thoughtful gameplay we've known while making sure to propel the story forward and leave us wanting more.

most EPIC game EVER

one of my all time fav's and also the only half life game that gave me that oh **** feeling,along with the screaming of that.also some of best mods have come out for this game

A little about me...
Honesty is the foundation of any relationship. Without it, whatever we're building together, will crumble. Loving & being loved can be wonderful. I can enjoy, &appreciate sharing life with someone who is truly sincere, who cherishes people & values. One who loves living life as the gift it is. It's very simple. It's about surrendering self. I would be open to going most anywhere decent & productive. I like doing fun things. I like theater, quality movies, concerts, little shops, ice cream stops, new places. I am not perfect; never will be. Don't expect you to be either. Just patience with each other, therefore.To describe myself a little, I would say I am fun,very loyal, honest, considerate. I am easy going. I love it when everyone gets along so I try to stay in a consistently, happy attitude. I am very patient. I am very clean, and would want any date to be the same. Both his dwelling & him. I can cook, bake, and like to do so, especially on the holidays. I enjoy "lady" drinks over good conversation. Slow dining. I love special occasions, love romance. I would love to be spoiled, tho I am not. I lived on a lake for 25 yrs. so I have a respect and appreciation for the beauty found around water. Just want to enjoy all of life.
About the one I'm looking for...
I want to see who I am talking to so include your photo if you care about my response. If there is contact, atleast say something. Don't just say "I'll tell you later." If you say you are "Christian" please explain to me exactly what this means to you. In other words, your definition of your "religion" please. We def need to be on the same page with our beliefs.
I'd just like to add...
I want to live a life pleasing to & honoring God. I need His grace each & every day so I spend time in His word. He is still workin on me! (thankfully!)

- Easter Vacation Scheme 2011
The application process was thorough but surprisingly enjoyable at times and the HR team were always on hand to answer questions and put us all at ease. I particularly appreciated their efforts to accommodate the difficulties that I experience with my stammer which can make interviews, negotiation exercises and role-plays a bit of a challenge.
Happily, I was given a place on the Easter scheme and spent a week in the Planning and Environment department. One thing that really stood out for me during the week was that despite my non-legal background, members of the department involved me in their work wherever they could and took time to explain it to me. Not only did this give me a much better understanding of the kind of work they do but it was good to feel I was making some sort of contribution.
Along with the departmental work we each had a short research project to complete and there were daily talks from other departments to help us to gain experience of the firm as a whole. Of course, no vac scheme would be complete without the socials and even though it was only a week we managed to pack in two evenings of drinks and a CSR event that tested our culinary skills.
It was a busy week and I felt I worked hard but it was also a lot of fun and a great chance to learn. However, perhaps most importantly the vac scheme gave me a chance to get a feel for BLP and find out if it was the right firm for me. I was genuinely impressed by the ethos of the firm and the friendliness and enthusiasm of the people I met and I'm looking forward to starting in 2013.

It appears that rapper 2 Chainz has found himself in cuffs this afternoon in OKC.
According to TMZ, 2 Chainz, whose real name is Tauheed Epps, and his crew were involved in a standoff with police in Oklahoma City in the early hours of the morning when officers pulled over a tour bus carrying the rapper for a busted tail light.
When officers approached the vehicle, they claim to have seen signs of drug use, and attempted to board the bus to investigate; however, the driver of the bus had other ideas. The bus driver then locked the officers out of the bus insisting that officers obtain a warrant before they boarded.
The cops then towed the bus to a nearby police training facility, with the passengers still inside, while officers awaited the warrant.
When the warrant arrived, police took 11 of the passengers inside, including 2 Chainz, for "interfering with the police process."
Right now, it is unknown whether or not any of the passengers will be brought up on other charges, or if drugs were indeed found on the bus.
2 Chainz is currently a part of the America's Most Wanted Tour with Lil' Wayne and T.I.
According to TMZ, both Lil' Wayne and T.I. were not present at the time of the incident. Both of them had already left the city on private jets.

A UK-based company called Project 1221 is developing a limited-run, high-end sports car powered by a 1,500-shp variant of the Williams International FJ44 engine. The $816,000 (E675,000) jet-powered car will come in two versions–the three-seat MF1 treposti or two-seat MF1 dueposti. Both models are available in an all-wheel- or rear-wheel-drive configuration, and the steering wheel can be installed on the left- or right-hand side.
Williams FJ44
Spirit Wing Aviation of Edmund, Okla., said it now expects to receive STC approval for its $2.2 million SpiritLear–a re-engined Learjet 25–in the first quarter of next year. Last year, the company expected certification this past summer.
Citation modification specialist Sierra Industries of Uvalde, Texas, last month received an STC for its Stallion conversion, a Citation 500/501 powered by Williams FJ44-2A turbofans in place of the twinjet's original Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15Ds.
Sierra CEO Mark Huffstutler said the Stallion will climb directly to FL430 "at any weight or temperature and cruise at 380 knots on 620 pounds per hour of fuel for more than 1,400 nm."
The Grob SPn Utility Jet's flight-test program has been progressing well since the twinjet made its first flight last July 20, according to a company spokesman. As of early last month, German-based Grob had already verified the twinjet's flight characteristics throughout the full c.g. envelope.
Expect Cessna at the NBAA Convention next month to announce the Citation CJ4, a stretched version of the CJ3 with a slightly swept wing based on the Sovereign airfoil. The new aircraft, with a cabin 21 inches longer than the CJ3, will be powered by 3,400-pound-thrust Williams International FJ44-4 turbofans and will likely replace the Encore.

When you find yourself sitting on the living room floor wrapping Christmas presents and stashing them upstairs in the cupboard three months out from the big day, it's fair to say I may have a little too much time on my hands. Two weeks home with my little ladies and I begin to take organisation to a whole new level. Any one else getting prepared this early?
We have had the most wonderful break these past few weeks. It draws to an end today and we begin to prepare for a crazy busy few weeks ahead. I'm back and forwards to Melbourne next week and have a few big (scary) presentations to give for work.
Today…. we take it slow, pj's until the late morning, a walk along the beach this afternoon and catch up with a dear friend.
Sophie from Time to be Fabulous has released today's happy home on the Gold Coast. Pop over and say hello. A timely post Sophie. Glad to hear this little home enabled you to share a moment of quiet and some time to wind down. You made me smile at the thought of skipping Uni lectures to enjoy the sun, an activity I indulged in all to often when I was at University.

How Rush Limbaugh Understands Birth Control by Gillian Hemme
It's true, I explain why here.
Via the Maddow Blog, here are some examples of Romney's courage and strength with which he hopes to guide the country:
But ask him about how high trees should be!
And now, in addition to the recent video that's turned up from his 2002 campaign for governor, where he talks about the mountains of federal money he'll get because he knows all the loopholes, Mittens has a another problem with one of his op-eds — this time about Romneycare, according to Bob Cesca:
Romney has a new Romneycare problem. In 2009 he wrote an Op-Ed for USA Today, which is no longer available, supporting a federal individual mandate for health insurance. Whoops!
"Using tax penalties, as we did, or tax credits, as others have proposed, encourages 'free riders' to take responsibility for themselves rather than pass their medical costs on to others."
Not-coincidentally, that's almost exactly the same rationale used by the Obama Administration to justify the individual mandate. It's also the mechanism that makes the plan mathematically feasible.

"Rush Limbaugh has a freedom of speech and can say what he wants, but in light of his horribly misogynistic comments, American Forces Radio should no longer give him a platform. Our entire military depends on troops respecting each other – women and men. There simply can be no place on military airwaves for sentiments that would undermine that respect. When many of our female troops use birth control, for Limbaugh to say they are "sluts" and "prostitutes" is beyond the pale. It isn't just disrespectful to our women serving our country, but it's language that goes against everything that makes our military work. Again, we swore to uphold our Constitution, including the freedom of speech, and would not take that away from anyone – even Limbaugh. But that does not mean AFN should broadcast him. In fact, it shouldn't."
– A group of female veterans have released a statement today through Vote Vets (a progressive coalition of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans) calling for AFN to drop Rush Limbaugh's show in light of his repulsive statements about Sandra Fluke and women using contraception. AFN is owned and operated by the Pentagon, and according to spokesman George Little, currently has no intention of dropping Limbaugh.
Source: ThinkProgress
Of course the Pentagon would have no problem with Limbaugh calling a young woman a slut. It's not like the DoD doesn't have its own internal problems with how women are treated in the military. It's interesting though, that Rush's listenership is everywhere because he's so popular, right? It's actually radio's dirty little secret that Limbaugh's show was given away for free (and still is) on many small and medium stations. That's why he's everywhere.
"Rush's audience is a myth. He is a paper tiger. Do some people listen to him? Of course. Is it anywhere near the hype? Not remotely. Talk radio is a dying business. I wouldn't be surprised if his daily listeners didn't even reach a million. I wouldn't be surprised if we have more online viewers on The Young Turks (which are100 percent Google verifiable) than he has radio listeners. Rush is a sad, old man that a couple of other sad, old men listen to. His days are numbered. Rush, it definitely wasn't nice knowing you. Tick tock, tick tock."

The second trailer for the third installment of the Men In Black film series, is bigger, better, and most importantly, aliener.
Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, the film stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones reprising their roles as MIB agents J and K alongside Emma Thompson, Jemaine Clement, and Josh Brolin as a young K. Bill Hader makes an appearance as Andy Warhol.
In theaters May 25.
"I don't really care how stingy Rick Santorum is with reported charitable contributions, what I'm curious about is how he or anyone thinks someone who doesn't make almost a million per year could possibly think about providing appropriate care for their "expensive" disabled child. What's your plan for that?" — Duncan Black
For those who aren't millionaires but have very expensive disabled children, thankfully there's Obamacare.
Report: 50,000 Americans With Pre-Existing Conditions Find Coverage As A Result Of Healthcare Reform – The PCIP is a temporary program intended to make health coverage available and more affordable for individuals who are uninsured — and were likely denied coverage based on their pre-existing conditions — and are ineligible to receive Medicare and Medicaid. Once the health reform law is fully implemented, in 2014, insurers will be prohibited from refusing coverage to any American with a pre-existing condition. Since its launch in November 2010, there has been an approximate 400 percent increase in PCIP enrollment — specifically amongst older uninsured Americans, who's serious pre-existing conditions require more intensive and ongoing medical care — with the PCIP program attracting 8,000 new applications every month from August through November 2011.
Charles P. Pierce looks at Limbaugh's fauxpology and gives us a thought experiment:
Rush Limbaugh unloads his weepy pilonoidal cyst of an intellect in this fashion on your daughter. Then, as his advertisers run screaming into the night, and as even his acolytes among Republican politicians can barely summon up the will to offer quarter-assed statements on the whole matter, he finally issues a statement wherein he, essentially, apologizes for:
1) Using the word "slut," rather than, one supposes, "trollop," "slattern," or "lady of the town."
2) For having far too sophisticated a sense of humor for the rest of us to comprehend.
3) For failing clearly to explain his deeply serious political philosophy regarding what is proper to discuss before Congress in these "very serious political times." This, as the redoubtable Heather Parton points out, is a fairly recent development in his thinking.
Does any of that remotely constitute an "apology" to you for what he said about your daughter? Does any of that make you more likely to trust in the good faith of anything this Viagra-sponging pillhead says in the foreseeable future?
This new Rush-determined-appropriateness, with regard to subjects that should and should not be discussed in the hallowed halls of Congress, could have some unforeseeable backlash for conservatives. Here's my thought experiment:
Imagine if some pro-life woman wants to discuss the issue of abortion and her choice not to have one in front of Congress. What if we all began speculating and lying about her private sex life. After all a simple testimony about birth control being covered by health insurance with co-pays suggested wild and unrestrained slutty sex and prostitution and sex tapes on the Internet to Rush Limbaugh — and his fanboys were eager to defend that disgusting line of reasoning.
So a discussion before Congress about abortions (or choosing not to have one) would certainly entail speculation on the details (probably and necessarily fictional) on the slutty sexy times that led to the "knocking up" of the woman who's testifying. Here would be a woman who would be admitting she did not put a Bayer aspirin between her knees, as is typically required in the GOP. Wouldn't that be like taking a Jerry Springer show before Congress — how inappropriate!
Limbaugh is telling us that, with regard to issues that are exclusively female concerns — getting pregnant, not getting pregnant, birth — we can all just make shit up to make a "joke" or "very profound point" with "absurdity" about individual women. Limbaugh decided that a young woman talking about health insurance plans covering birth control in Congress wasn't "appropriate." But he really wanted to shut that slut up. He'd like to shut us all up.

It's our 85th Anniversary!
This summer marks the 85th year that the Children's Zoo has been open! We have undergone so many changes since the zoo was founded in 1929! Do you remember the whale? Or the ark?
In the spring of 1930, the zoo collection consisted of a beaver, a coyote, a fox, bears, raccoons, timber wolves, owls, and hawks. Today, the Children's Zoo is home to over 150 animal residents! In 2009, we took a HUGE step toward a higher standard for animal care by becoming accredited by the Association of Zoo's and Aquariums (AZA). In doing this, we joined the ranks of the Detroit Zoo, the Potter Park Zoo, and over 200 other zoos nationwide!
We would love to see your old pictures of the zoo! If you're interested in sharing your memories, stop by throughout the summer to drop off a copy (we can make one), or mail it to the following:

Editor's Note: Throughout the off-season, DallasCowboys.com staff writers will take a closer look at the roster, analyzing players' impact last season and how each fits into the team's 2014 plans. Today's Roster Rundown entry features linebacker
Name: Cameron Lawrence
Position: Linebacker
Height/Weight: 6-2 / 234
Experience: 1 season
College: Mississippi State
Key stat: Lawrence tied for second on the team with 12 special teams tackles in 2013, despite only playing in 11 games after a call-up from the practice squad.
Contract Status: Signed through 2014
2013 Impact: Was one of those players that I never really noticed initially during our time while in Oxnard for training camp, then two to three weeks in, he was getting more of an opportunity to get snaps with the defense and showing up more as a backup in special teams drills. By the final game against the Eagles, he was playing as a core guy on the special teams. He was lining up as the left guard on the kickoff return, blocker on the punt return, left tackle on the punt team and at various spots on the kickoff team, R2, R3 and L5. As a blocker, worked to put himself in position to try and secure the block. Had a couple of reps where he was a little late getting over and adjusting to his man. Catch and grab type of blocker more than a guy that was going to explode on you. Would not call him the most smoothest of athletes, matter fact there is some stiffness in his play. Gave outstanding effort in regards to running and covering the kick. Did play with the awareness to avoid blocks and not put himself at risk of being out of position. When he was in position to bring the ball carrier down, he was solid in getting his man down. Can be a physical player when he needed to be. Will use his hands to get rid of the blocker. Stays after the play.
Where He Fits:I didn't give him much of a chance when he walked through the door of Valley Ranch this time last season but proved a lot of us wrong. Still see Lawrence as that core special teamer that will once again have to find ways to battle his way on the roster. Depending on how things shake out during the draft, could be on the
Writers' Analysis:
Rowan Kavner: Lawrence joined the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent and after final cuts entering the season he joined the team on the practice squad. He earned a spot on the active roster in October primarily for his ability on special teams after Will Allen was released prior to Game 6, and he immediately helped out on the coverage units, finishing with eight solo tackles and four assisted tackles on the year. He was also called into duty at linebacker after a rash of injuries, totaling five defensive tackles on the season. It's unlikely, barring further injuries, he'll be called in to play or start defensively this year. His future in Dallas resides as a special teams force, and he can earn a spot on the active roster once again if he proves himself in that area.

10. Obama – who believed his own rhetoric that the country was ready for the change he hoped for.
9. Obama – who, like Newt Gingrich after the '94 election and George W. Bush after the '04 election, came to believe that just because the voters voted them in meant they had been given a carte blanche to do whatever they wanted.
8. Obama – who forgot that when all the dust of an election settles down, Americans favor incremental change rather than sudden, quantum leaps.
7. Obama – who views politics in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Virginia, and elsewhere through the lens of Chicago politics as practiced by Rahm Emanuel.
6. Obama – who forgot that an incumbent president with sinking poll numbers should not make an eleventh-hour, high profile visit to boost a candidate with sagging poll numbers herself.
5. Obama – who forgot that Independent voters pay attention.
4. Obama – who sloughed off the Tea Party movement as a fringe element that had no impact on elections.
3. Obama – who pushed a massive health care proposal that polls showed was not favored by a majority of voters, so fast and so hard that he overshot the mark by a mile.
2. Obama – who pushed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to ram through a health care bill at any cost, and to make whatever deals he had to in order to secure passage.
1. Obama – who failed to recognize that cutting a sweetheart deal publicly with Big Labor less than one week before a key election, was a really boneheaded move.

It certainly wasn't because as National Review would like to believe, that the citizens of Mass. approve of unconstitutional warfare, bloated defense budgets, imperialism, torture, and the rest of our foreign policy planks (well, they didn't exactly phrase it that way, but the truth is the same).
Of course it was about Obama. And unless the republicans who actually care about liberty, limited government, a sensible foreign policy, sound money, and the like get out and support republicans who are vastly different than Mr. Brown, they are just going to replace this bunch of failures with more folks who will continue to erode our freedoms as fast as the current gang are trying to.
In this case it is a shame that the Mass voters did not have a REAL choice, but someone who really cares about liberty, freedom, and limited government would never get elected in Mass.

2 party system is Lame —- The democrats and republicans in every state house in the nation have conspired to make sure they don't ever have to face any real competition. They have passes horrendous ballot access laws that make 3rd parties spend most of their money on getting on the ballot rather than on the campaign. Mentalities like Deathportal is objecting too further challenge an alternate contender.
Things are so bad that the last time a congressional 3rd party candidate qualified to run in GA was 1934! Yes, the two parties in this state care so little about your freedom of choice that they wish to continue offering up garbage and being able to say "well, at least we aren't them." But then look at sunday alcohol sales and you can see that the legislature doesn't care about your rights, or your free choice.

Fix-it @ 12:29
I have not seen either the House or Senate bills. What I know comes from a combination of mainstream media (print, tv and radio), alternative media, the net, etc. I would have liked to see both the final House and Senate bills posted for review. They may be out there, I haven't looked.
As to members of Congress not knowing what is in the bill you are probably right. There are probably members that don't know and shame on them. But this is nothing new. Members of both parties have been voting on bills they really had not read for as long as I can remember. They get a brief from an aide and decide how they are going to vote.
I would venture to guess that there are Democrats that voted for their chamber's version of the bill without any detailed knowledge of what was in it. They read the Cliff notes. Similarly it appears there are Republicans who didn't read the bill because as a block they had decided they were going to vote no.
This is one of the biggest problems with our law-making process. Bills are usually very long and complex. Members aren't going to sit for hour after hour after hour to read the details. They get the cliffnotes version. The aide that prepares the briefing for the Member gets to pick and choose what the Member knows about the bill. I firmly believe that often it is the opinion of a trusted aide that decides how the Member will vote.

JOAN—-you and several people say that Brown is right when he says his seat in congress is neither GOP or Dem but instead the peoples seat. Dubya also said when he ran against Gore that he would always be the peoples President. And he was…… the RICH people and BIG GOVT people President. The GOP have always been for the wealthy and to hell with the working class. When the GOP had the House, Senate & Chief Exec office under Dubya the middle class grew poorer, in debt, foreclosed & unemployed while the rich got richer. Do you think that happened by accident? Like Dubya, Brown can talk the talk but not walk the walk. Wait and see.

Those pictures of Obama as a Hitler-in-blackface are too Mel Brooks. (Three). The first lady cheats at double-dutch jump-rope. (Four). The first family took too long to get a dog. (Five). Americans don't trust a light-skinned negro who can't rap. (Six). The Nobel Prize should have gone to Beyonce, who put out a really phat video last year. (Seven). Two words: Incumbentitis. (Eight). Bush is a much better golfer. (Nine). It's the Mandatory Participation, Stupid. (Ten). "Invoking Cloture" sounds too much like a sex act.

I hear the progressive liberals whine that the repubicans will take us back to the days of Bush. Tax breaks for the wealthy blah blah blah.
Now when did you see a conservative exclusive backroom deal making congress? Tell me! Please! When did Obama and the liberal congress invite the conservatives in the bill writing process? Tell me! Please!
When did the progressive liberals try to bribe senators and labors unions for voting against the wish of the American people? You can not tell me that either can you? You have selective memory and an ideology no one wants. Get it! Please!

The Democrats have no one to blame but themselves, They allowed the Repuklicans to obstruct, delay, and block their legislative agenda. America hasn't made any progress since 1981. Former 3rd world countries have advanced faster than we have. The American political system is stuck on stupid and trapped in legislative gridlock. I think a "Fuhrer" or an "Il-duche" would do a much better job.

Denmark and Sweden citizens pay a little over 1/2 their income in taxes. Is that want we want?
January 20th, 2010
3:09 pm
I have ten different reasons:
1. The liberals want far more government control than the people do.
2. The democrats forged ahead with a couple of health care plans that the vast majority of Americans oppose. They did not listen.
3. The people are frightened by a scale of spending by the democrats that they did not imagine.
4. The people actually wanted a post partisan president, not a Chicago bully boy
5. Democrat leadership offended us by their arrogance and disregard of the people
6. We hate seeing votes bought for billions
7. Obama seems arrogant and condescending. His rhetoric is unsatisfying and no longer believable.
8. Democrats seem more interested in the approval of a small group of journalists, rich fat cats, professors and movie stars than the concerns of me and my family.
9. Obama and the dems already screwed up the stimulus and everything else they touched. Why the rush to screw up healthcare too.
10. There are things I want to see change about healthcare but the democrats are just going to make a bad situation worse.

http://www.taxrates.cc/html/sweden-tax-rates.html is a chart of Swedish tax rates. It is a progressive taxation system, lioke we have in the US and many other countries.
Right now, 1 Swedish Krona is equivalent to 13.9 US cents, or approx. 7.2 SEK to the dollar.
Notice that those that makes under SEK 380,200 (US$ 52,000) pay NO national tax.
You can use that chart to figure out how nuch someone with your income pays, and compare it to the benefits of living in Sweden.

When Ted Kennedy found out that LBJ was flying back to DC on Air Force One after the assassination, he screamed, "what is that %(@!#* doing on OUR plane?"
It wasn't the Kennedy's plane, and it wasn't the Kennedy's Senate seat. Martha Coakley thought it was.
Apparently, Senator Brown also looks better naked than his opponents.

Democrats lost because the didn't deliver on their promises. The repubs ran a nude model and won. Obama & Co capitulated to big business in every aspect last year. No financial reform, no 'legitimate' healthcare bill, increased troops in Afghanistan. If they had done the things they said they would do, republicans wouldn't have a chance. They have between now and September, or its back to business as usual with the GOP running both houses of Congress. Not like they have a plan, they just want to get back in power.
People all of a sudden have a clue what a deficit is, but said nothing while republicans ran it up. They did nothing of substance while in power, and the dems have done the same thing this year. Nothing. We need a legit 3rd party pronto. Both parties are bought and paid for.

It smiles to make me think that Obama would not have gotten the democratic nomination without the support of Ted Kennedy and now the seat Kennedy held for generations was lost to a Republican because of Obama.

Considering that the election of a Black president is just a foreshadow of what is coming in the near future, when Whites become the minority, and considering that the corporate Lily white elitists who now control almost all aspects of our society (except breeding rates, evidently) want to maintain their control as long as they possible can, it is vital (from their perspective) to make sure that Barak Obama's tenure in office is an abject failure. If they can make it happen, then they will have a rationale to insure that the plurality of whites, that will still exist, will be able to unite behind the contrived idea that the experimentation with ethnic leadership (with emphasis on darker complexions) should not happen again any time soon, even in the face of their reduced numbers.
"Absolute power corrupts, absolutely" and if anything has become apparent in the last century, it is that wealth is power and absolute wealth (as in 1/2 of all wealth sits in the pockets of about 4000, curiously White people) corrupts absolutely. There is a race based campaign, being waged from the top, using clueless and very racist uneducated, lower middle class Whites (teabaggers, gun nuts, and others)in an effort to seize an opportunity to mount a contrived populist stance against this president, at a time when the mess they dropped in his lap is at a most critical point. They perceive, correctly, that the weakness they imposed on the country can be used to further that end, and the solid wall of uncooperative behavior coming at this president by the completely corporate owned Republican Party, is only a symptom of the all out war being waged against him and us. Barak Obama is a president that is not only at war with our real enemy (in Afghanistan and other areas), but the costly faked enemy in Iraq (compliments of the corporatists), but also at war with an enemy that has launched a sustained all out attack against him since the day he took office, the entrenched and self-serving ultra-ultra-rich and their cheaply bought minions.
Barak Obama has done very well considering the attention span of the average so called independent voters, that are now drifting mindlessly and impatiently back over the line to corporate control. I doubt very much, that the corporatists could have galvanized the forces of ignorance and bigotry so fast if the Democrat winner had been White and I can only hope that the clueless voters, who made the correct choice in 2008, will wake up to the fact that they have to take a political stand on the side that actually represents their interests, and stop whoring after the sloganeering corporatists at every shift in the breeze, as has just happened in Mass.. We have a choice to become informed citizens, or we can take the simple way out and just become pawns of the autocracy of corrupted wealth.

If this country is going to stay healthy, the "tea party" is going to need to become a major party and represent all of the middle class. Seeing as the democrats really seem to help only the ultra poor and the republicans only the ultra rich, about 99% of us would be better off with a party representing sensible middle of the table agendas.
In the republican "moral majority" revolution of 94, this kind of thinking was what was promised, although also including a religious undercurrent. Sadly, the Republicans got away from limiting spending or representing the middle class. The Democrats have not represented the average working person in a much longer timeframe than that.
And here's an idea that shouldn't be so hard for congress to grasp, vote this healthcare issue through one idea at a time. You'd get the good stuff and leave out the garbage. Then, do the same with the budget, vote in the necessary core programs and have your pork projects in a separate bill that would be voted down nearly unanimously. Stop tying in bad ideas with things that are necessary. If it's not good on it's own merit, don't do it.

America is upset that Obama didn't pull out his magic wand and make all of our problems – decades in the making – go away in one puff. Good job America. Hold on to those tea bags because the way we're going we're going to need them. We lack courage and we have short memories. And that will be our down fall.

Are you people BLIND? You're happy to be gaining control back in the U.S. Capitol. Great. What are your elected Republican representatives going to do now? What is going to be different from 2001-2008? ANSWERS? Nothing. I believe people were happy before with the economy in decline and no good health care. People just rather be poor and die.

Not sure that psephology is your strong suit. By the way, according to the morning paper, the state is providing $4000 per employee per year over a five year period to a German plant to locate in southeast Georgia. Is that not socialism and a subject for your next column? A good reason for opposing Republicans socialist policies?

Why is there no discussion on reducing the costs of healthcare, or for that matter any government program. Consider the health insurance companies for a moment. They decide where and how money is spent. is that what we want? did that principle make the USA great? No…. Instead look at the medical procedures that are outside of insurance. Lasik eye surgery, hair implants, breast implants, cosmetic dentistry…etc. The consumer pays for these without insurance. YET what has happened to these services, they got better and cheaper. Do you think a MRI would cost $1,250 if the market was free. Imagine how much a MRI would cost if we could shop and use our own money.
Until we apply the principles of CAPITALISM to everything, healthcare, government, social security we are doomed to lose and fall further behind.
Freedom to choose and spend your money is a dying concept. When we trade freedom for security we get neither.
How many americans are personally responsible today vs 50 years ago. With free healthcare will we take better or worse care of ourselves. consider an American at a restaurant. When he pays al a carte he eats responsibily, at a all you can eat buffet that same person is a pig. We are becoming pigs.
Wake up and be responsible for your own actions.

Tim, as stated, your argument seems to make sense – but only from a liberal viewpoint. Here's why. When the government grants a property tax forbearance to a company in hopes of it locating within it's sovereign borders, that government has simply agreed not to take taxes from a business.
A business that will employ (not that Democrats give a damn about employment) hundreds of taxpaying citizens, and a business that will source some/much/all of its purchases with other local, taxpaying businesses. Businesses that employ hundreds, if not thousands, of other taxpaying citizens. There's a multiplier effect.
I would suggest you read a bit more in the area of economic development. Small, rural communities use this type of incentive, one that will be paid back many times over, more so than metropolitan areas. Nevertheless, many governments use this process to attract new business and JOBS.
Not that you'd be interested in those.

As a former New Englander I can tell you that the main reason Brown won was because Coakley is an out of touch idiot."
This brings about an interesting question. If Coakley was an "out of touch idiot," why did the good people of Mass continue to foist the grand master of out-of-touch idiots, Sir Teddy the Magnificent, onto the public scene for 40 some years? It took that long to wake up?

Why does a Republican winning in Mass automatically mean it was Obama's fault? Couldn't it just be that the Democratic candidate was a total mess, moron, and all around failure – which I believe she was. This should be a proud day – that the voters voted for the best candidate and not just along party lines.

I have to agree with Herman Cain on this one. It wasn't so much a vote for the Republicans and a vote against the Democrats as it was a "kick all of the bums out" statement. Brown just happened to run as a Republican, but his message was the one people want to hear….those 535 seats are OURS!

The Supreme Court today, surrendered the last vestiges of what was left of the Potemkin like facade that our government has become, by handing it over to the corporations. We are now all just pawns in the corporate state that has been declared into existence by the worst Supreme Court decision since Dred Scott. We are no longer citizens with citizen rights, we are merely consumers with consumer rights and the Constitution covers that, NOT AT ALL. Were are screwed and we know who did it, and why – GREED.

In a priceless 1988 interview with Fortune Magazine, Ross Perot boldly confronted General Motors' corporate culture. He said, "At GM, if you see a snake, the first thing you do is go hire a consultant on snakes. Then you get a committee on snakes, and then you discuss it for a couple of years. The most likely course of action is—nothing…We need to build an environment where the first guy who sees the snake kills it."

The Urgency of Dealing with Poor Performance
This post shares the story of Robert, a manager who let a performance problem slide for too long. What are the best onboarding and performance management practices you have seen that give managers the incentive and support they need to confront damaging behavior in a timely manner?
The Keys to Managing People Better?
Theory: all good managers have ready access to two fundamental skill sets—the ability to Relate and the ability to Require. "Relating" encompasses relationship-building behaviors: asking, listening, including, coaching and encouraging. "Requiring" refers to results-oriented activities: creating expectations, focusing on goals, insisting on excellence, setting appropriate controls, asserting your views and confronting problems. Over- or under-utilizing these skills can damage business results and/or relationships.

IPA vowel chart with audio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from IPA vowels chart with audio)
The International Phonetic Alphabet, or IPA, is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet. It was devised by the International Phonetic Association as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language.[1]
In the IPA, vowel sounds are defined as sound which occurs at a syllable center.[2] Below is a chart depicting the vowels of the IPA, with audio examples of each. The IPA maps the vowels according to the position of the tongue.
