Discovering Banksy in Park City, Utah
Park City, the small-town annual host to the Sundance Film Festival, has an off-the-path, residual treat to be enjoyed year round. In 2010, Exit Through the Gift Shop premiered; an alternative documentary directed by the globally infamous graffiti artist, Banksy. Early January, in anticipation to that year's festival, five paintings by Banksy manifested around town overnight. One was almost immediately painted over by city authority, another was covered months later. A third was on the front door of the Egyptian Theater which they ultimately sold, saving the theater from bankruptcy; today only two remain. Focus on the south side of Java Cow and find time to sniff out the rat from Main St.

Hear from our students and their families.
The Mensik Family, Chicago, IL
Siblings Jack and Kristina have both participated in Putney's Global Awareness in Action programs; Jack traveled to El Salvador in 2008 and Kristina traveled to Rwanda in 2011. Here are what parents Michael and Marguerite had to say about their experiences:
"Our children have participated in a wide variety of travel programs in their high school years but the Putney Global Awareness In Action programs really are in a class of their own. Both of our children returned from these trips with a very changed perspective of the world."
Katie Pinkas, Shaker Heights, OH
Katie, a senior at Hathaway Brown School, spent last summer on Putney's Community Service Nusa Penida program, where she and her peers built an out-building for the banjar complex, which is the seat of local government, and also worked with children at the primary school. She is the fifth of her siblings to participate in a Putney trip. Robbie went to the Dominican Republic, and Callie, Benny, and Lissa each did Language Learning France programs.
"This trip was an incredible experience and surpassed my expectations. I loved the group and the leaders and I loved the community of Nusa Penida. I really loved scuba diving, the afternoon excursions, especially to the waterfall and Mantas Point. I also really liked doing the Independent Student Projects and being able to do pig raising/feeding and cooking. I learned Indonesian phrases working closely with the community and found I could connect with them working in smaller groups. I liked working on the shower because we had a final product at the end of the trip and that was rewarding."
Keenen Willis, Scarsdale, NY
Keenen, a junior at Scarsdale Alternative School, traveled to France with Putney's Language Learning program last summer. His older brother Zack went on the same program in 2002, and sister Maddi participated in our Theatre in Britain program in 2007.
"I expected to improve my French, experience French culture, and make new friends, and that all happened and more! It was awesome to be able to talk to local people and have them understand me. It was such a great sense of accomplishment when my host sister told me that she was impressed how I was able to talk relatively fast and be able to understand. Personally, I gained a lot of confidence in not only French but in general. Thank you Putney for a great summer that I'll never forget!"
The Ristuccia Family, Basking Ridge, NJ
Annie, now a freshman at NYU, participated in four Putney programs. She traveled to Ghana, Ecuador, Tanzania, and Vietnam on community service trips. Her younger brother, Paul, went on his first Putney program last summer to Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji. Read what their parents, Paula and Henry, have to say about their experiences:
"Thanks for everything – four summers of profound experiences have undoubtedly shaped the direction of Annie's future as she heads to NYU for a career in Public Health. Besides seeing new cultures, Paul was challenged to step out of his comfort zone. We knew Putney could have a life changing effect on him and sure enough, people said he came home like a different person. It was a wonderful experience for him."
Julia Ofman, Brooklyn, NY
Julia, a senior at LaGuardia High School, traveled with the Global Awareness in Action India program where she and her peers studied Community Building and Sustainable Development in the country's environmentally fragile Ladakh region.
"I came into the program hoping to learn about India, the world, and ultimately, about myself. I took away several life lessons that have drastically altered my views on all of the above. I am more mature and well-rounded as a person and a traveler."
Kevin and Emily Doyle, Fairfield, CT
Siblings, Kevin and Emily, have both participated in Putney's Global Action Malawi program. Kevin also traveled on Putney's Community Service program to Senegal.
"It is impossible to spend time in Africa and not be affected by the people you meet. The experience demands that you look at the world in a much more global way. On our trips, we saw firsthand the problems that exist and how everyone could and should make a difference. We wanted to help increase awareness of these problems in our hometown so we formed the Student Refugee Alliance. After two successful fundraising events over the last year, we both plan to take SRA to our colleges in the fall and expand the membership to students around the world."
Cameron Pulley, McLean, VA
Cameron, a junior at Langley High School, spent a summer in Costa Rica participating in the Language Learning program based in the southern part of the country.
"Since the program immerses you so thoroughly, it is impossible not to improve greatly in speaking and comprehension. The local people were very welcoming and willing to talk with us in Spanish. Also, within the Putney group, we grew very close and definitely became a family by the end of the trip."
Tracey and Jeff Diamond, Westfield, NJ
Tracey and Jeff's daughter Amie, a student at Union County Academy for Performing Arts, traveled on Putney's Excel Pre-college Experience in Madrid and Barcelona. Amie enrolled in the Travel Photography and Spanish language seminars.
"Amie had an unbelievable experience and summer. She said the leaders were wonderful, and the activities and choices the same. She made some very good friends, experienced new food, exposure to art, dance, music, outdoor sports, etc. that she had not previously been exposed to. One of the reasons we selected Putney over other programs was because the program was structured. It's good to have some free time in the afternoon, but we liked that they were supervised in the evenings."
Joel & Susie Carp, Dallas TX
Joel and Susie's daughter Samantha, a student at Greenhill School, traveled to Argentina with our Community Service program.
"Samantha thoroughly enjoyed her Putney summer in Argentina. The group leaders were experienced and organized, and she really enjoyed their leadership. Samantha learned so much from them, and from the other kids in the group. The group was made up of such interesting and diverse students, and she gained so much from their companionship. She gained confidence in her ability to travel, work hard, and make the most of new experiences and friendships. Her Spanish is much improved and she is more willing to speak it back in the U.S. She loved the kids in the village and learned so much from helping them. Some of the more difficult aspects of the trip—i.e. only bringing one backpack, sleeping on floor, climbing a mountain—were her favorite experiences."
Emily Blau, Oakwood School, Encino, CA
Emily is a three time Putney alum, traveling with Community Service Dominica in 2008, Community Service Senegal in 2009, and with Community Service Nusa Penida in 2010.
"I just wanted to thank Putney for giving me three amazing summers. You all have changed me in ways that I cannot describe and you have prepared me for the world. Through Putney, I have learned confidence and skills; I have made friends and memories; I even learned French. I cannot say it enough but thank you, thank you, thank you! Putney will always have a special place in my heart and hopefully I will get a chance to be a part of the Putney community when I get older."
Patty Sacks, New York, NY
Patty Sacks, her two siblings, and her three daughters, Olivia, Elizabeth, and Haley, are all Putney alumi. Patty describes a summer with Putney as a 'rite of passage' in her family.
"When our daughters traveled with Putney far away from home, we were confident that they would join exceptional groups of peers. The other students came from different geographical areas, the group was not 'cliquey,' and the leaders were extraordinarily talented and charismatic people. Everything was handled with great attention to detail. Olivia is now at Dartmouth, itching to return to Africa, Elizabeth is at Colgate, helping out in the local community, and Haley is a freshman in college, planning a Peace Corps experience after graduation. Putney had the same effect on me a generation ago—after returning from my Putney programs in France, Scandinavia, and Russia, I kept in touch with the friends I made and studied Russian in college."

Intel's McAfee to add remote wipe, tracking features to MacBook Air-like "ultrabooks"After acquiring security firm McAfee last year, Intel has announced plans to embed iCloud-like remote lock, wipe and location tracking features in silicon for PC "ultrabook" competitors of Apple's MacBook Air .
Intel, in its ultrabook-branded efforts to push other PC makers to copy the success of Apple's MacBook Air, announced a "collaborative effort" with McAfee to deliver antitheft technologies for devices based on its chips. Intel paid $7.68 billion to acquire McAfee a year ago in a deal that closed in February.
The "partnership" between Intel and its wholly owned subsidiary "will deliver essential capabilities including device lock, data wipe and location tracking" for lightweight mobile computers, according to a press release Intel issued today.
The company has previously set aside $300 million in its Intel Ultrabook Fund to "help drive innovation in this new category of devices" defined by Apple's MacBook Air.
Find My Mac
Apple first introduced remote wipe, lock and location tracking features for its iOS devices as part of MobileMe, but it will soon release these features for Mac OS X Lion as part of iCloud.
Last month AppleInsider reported that Find My Mac features were already live for developers in iCloud, allowing users to remotely activate an alarm, send a message, lock the screen or wipe the contents of a registered Lion Mac.
Systems can also be tracked on a map (shown below) just like today's iOS devices under MobileMe's Find my iPhone feature.

- Apple's Macs rack up more than 1/4 of back-to-school PC sales in 2014

EDITOR's NOTE: This is my introductory column that originally appeared in the Feb. 20 edition of The Extra. You can read the entire edition by clicking here. The Extra is a free-distribution newspaper available throughout the Red River Valley.
These words are ink printed on paper, unless you're reading this column on a laptop, Nook, Kindle or iPad. In those cases, you'll just have to play along. Hey, I'm trying to make a point here.
It is good to see my words printed in ink on paper again, because it's been awhile. Just about five years, to be exact. That is when I left my job as a columnist for The Forum, where I made my living with my fingers and brain, and became a talk-show host on KFGO, where I make my living with my mouth. And, at random times, my brain.
It's not that I've stopped writing. I write a blog at the radio station's web site, www.kfgo.com. It seems popular, judging by the number of page views, unique visitors and readers who call me a semi-literate hack. Those readers often misuse the word "your" in place of "you're" when calling me semi-literate, by the way. I wonder if the irony is lost on them. I wonder if they know what irony is. Probably not. Fox News doesn't teach its viewers about irony.
There is still something special for a writer to see his words in ink, to actually be printed. I remember the first time something I wrote appeared in print. I sent a question to Baseball Digest magazine in 1976 asking who hit the first home run in Yankee Stadium. The magazine printed it with the answer, Babe Ruth. I was 9 years old and my name was in print. There was proof I existed. I was entered into the historical archive of mankind. The excitement I felt the day I saw my name and words on the page never waned, even after thousands of bylines and hundreds of thousands of words.
I worked at The Forum for about 20 years, mostly as a sports columnist. I was paid to be an opinionated smart-ass, which I did for free in my spare time anyway. In 2009, Joel Heitkamp offered me more money to be an opinionated smart-ass on KFGO. Don't tell him I do it in my spare time anyway.
Being a talk-show host is energizing, exhausting, humbling, empowering, fun, frustrating and a million other things. People tell me I have the easiest job in the world because I talk on the radio for living. How hard could that be? I tell them it's not. Just stand on the 50-yard line of the Fargodome with 19,000 people in the stands and a microphone in your hand. Then keep those 19,000 people entertained for three hours and make sure none of them walk out because they're bored or you've ticked them off or they don't know or care what you're talking about. Nothing to it. Good luck.
Truth is, it is a great job. KFGO is one of the best news/talk stations in the country and I'm a part of it. It was great long before I got there and will be great long after I leave, and I am privileged to work there. For somebody who said about 15 words, total, in five years of college, the fact I flap my gums for a living is equal to the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team on the miracle scale.
But I missed seeing my words in ink, on paper. So when Tammy Finney offered me the chance to write a weekly column for the official newspaper of Moorhead, it took me two seconds to say yes. It then took Tammy half the time to say, "I need 700 words by Sunday afternoon. Don't be late." And here we are, 11:30 on a Saturday night and I'm hacking away. I forgot about this part of the ink-on-paper equation.
The goal here is not to stand on the mountaintop and dispense my wisdom while solving the world's problems. I've tried to do that weekdays from 2-5 p.m. for five years and haven't made much headway. Cripes, they were shooting innocent dogs on the streets of Sochi. How much impact could I possibly be having? No, we'll have some fun and be irreverent and contrarian and stubborn. Hopefully I'll entertain you and make you think. One column I wrote about my dad for The Forum made grown men cry. And once in awhile, yes, I'll piss you off. It's in my DNA. I can't help myself.
I will ask only one thing of you. If you are going to send me a nasty e-mail, please write "You're a semi-literate hack," not "Your a semi-literate hack." I don't want to have to write a column explaining irony.
(Mike McFeely is a talk-show host on 790 KFGO-AM in Fargo-Moorhead. He can be heard 2-5 p.m. weekdays)

This is from a Facebook post relative to Publix:
Went into Publix recently alone with my 17 month old daughter. Don't know why but she hates the store and had a break down in the cart. I picked her up and calmed her down and continued my shopping my carrying my 25 lb child and pulling my 50 lbs cart. Next thing I know someone is pushing my cart. I turned around and it was the manager. He smiled and said "looks like you need a hand." he pushed my cart for me the whole time and made sure I got to my car. Would never find service like this anywhere else. (: Employees of other stores are more concerned with me hushing my child up. Thanks Publix !!
Over 78,000 people have read this post and clicked like. It's not a lot of work to do that, but it does show that positive comments on social media has a wide spread impact.
Here's another, this time it's Panera Bread:
Brandon Cook visits his grandmother in the hospital. She is dying of cancer. She's craving soup, but doesn't like the hospital food. She wants clam chowder from Panera Bread.
Panera Bread sells clam chowder on Fridays – it's not a daily offering. Although it isn't Friday, brandon calls up the local Panera and asks for the manager, explains what's going on and asks if they can help. The manager listens actively and simply tells Brandon when he can come get the chowder.
When Brandon gets there, not only is the clam chowder is waiting for him, but they've thrown in a box of cookies as well. Unasked for, but a compassionate touch.
Brandon is so thankful to Panera for helping him deliver clam chowder to his dying grandma. Not only did the manager go out of her way to make the soup for only one customer, she also gave him a box of cookies for free. Brandon imagines that it must have been an inconvenience to make a whole batch of soup on a day they hadn't planned to. He also imagines that giving away free cookies isn't commonplace at Panera. He recognizes that the manager understood his situation and felt his pain. She not only wanted to fulfill his wish, but surprise him as well. She must have really cared about him and about his grandma.
Brandon felt so moved by the kindness the Panera manager showed him and his family that he wanted to repay the favor. He wanted others to know what had transpired so that they could feel amazed and happy too. Brandon posted the Panera story on his Facebook wall for his friends to see. It was the best way he knew how to tell the story to as many of his friends as possible.
As it happened, Brandon's mom, Gail Cook saw his wall post. She admired her son's initiative and deep care for his grandma (her mother-in-law), and was so impressed by the kindness and generosity of the manager at her local Panera. She imagined that both Panera fans and its employees nationwide would be delighted to hear this uplifting story. Gail reposted Brandon's wall post onto Panera Bread's fan page.
The story spread like wildfire. Less than two weeks later, Brandon's wall post has been liked almost 750,000 times and has received nearly 32,000 comments.

I've decided to try to see how many days in a row I can eat leftovers for lunch, since I had to break my previous run when we moved. The streak right now is at four. I actually view it as a challenge worth keeping, because my leftovers are always healthier than eating out and cheaper too, but I'm still sorely tempted to eat out with some of my coworkers.

I'm struggling right now so much. Not doing well at all, I don't know what to do. I guess just deal with it alone; people have it tougher.
2nd time this month.
My bestfriend Mike from my last post spoke to me and got me thinking, "What do I want from my next relationship?" My last relationship was fine but I won't lie she broke up with me. She said I was too "safe" and I was a good guy and she knew it would workout but she wanted to date and explore other relationships at 20. Didn't want to feel like she was settling… Stupidest sh*t I ever heard. But I hope whatever young lady comes next really likes me(corny jokes and all). I'm 21 but I'm not into dating fast women; I want young love. Settle down.
My best friend Mike was the perfect gentleman and genuine good guy and just spoke of women highly. 4 months ago his girlfriend cheated on him, broke up with him, and used him later… now he's on a rampage just running through girls and going after hoes(please excuse my terminology). See ladies you had a good one an you broke him; smh could I be next?
2013 had great moments and it didn't end well but the first day of 2014 I couldn't have asked for a better start.

And that's without Romney's endorsing the end of Medicare with Ryan
If Obama wins by running against the Republicans, it will be because they've given him a great target
Why waste ads against anyone else?.
Flipp Flopney is the one.
Contrary to the conventional wisdom peddled by the pundits and the media, Mott Romney may be just as easy an opponent to defeat by President Obama as any of the far-right wacky radicals running alongside him for the Republican nomination. Romney is a man without an ounce of social skills, someone that feels totally uncomfortable interacting on a personal level with crowds of real Americans that he never has had to experience in his sheltered, privileged life. Romney has flipped and flopped on just about every significant issue, raising the question of where he really stands on abortion, climate change, immigration, foreign policy. He'll get whipped… http://www.sunstateactivist.org
Today I shall change my positions to respond — again.
It matters not who the GOP runs – four years of incompetence, arrogance, lack of leadership, and out of control spending by our Community-Organizer-in-Chief will be his undoing – that and 9% unemployment and a terrible economy….. We elected a black man President! Good for the USA – shows we have come far. Now it is time to elect someone who has a clue…
From a cranky old white guy to a clueless old black guy
Hey 10:34 am, you forgot the long list of broken promises: post partisan President – instead more polarizing than Bush; close Guantanemo prison – still open; go through Federal budget "line by line" – nothing remotely resembling that occured and spending increased 28% in just two years; would shrink the deficit – instead has had three largest deficit years in history, all over $1,3 trillion; would put science before politics – has done the opposite on oil exploration and climate.
In summary, Obama has been the worst President, by far, since Jimmy Carter.
Romney belongs on "Family Fued," kissing blue-haired ladies, but not in the White House. Cain is a serial lech, and Perry serially out to lunch. Huntsman has a level head – unique in the GOP – but no campaign charisma. The other looney-tunes are so much hot air. To call Obama more polarizing than Bush is just political nonsense; it's the economy Bush left behind that is polarizing, not the man in the White House. To talk about deficits is also a red herring, given the enormous bailouts that were necessary; maybe 1046 would rather the banks had all gone belly-up. Then 1046 would really have loved Obama!
I looked over the Romney plan, and didn't see that he wants to privatize Social Security. I saw only small fixes, not big changes. Romney says that Paul Ryan's plan to voucherize Medicare is a good starting point, that he's leaving himself LOTS of room to run away from that suggestion. Romney is positioning himself to run as a moderate in the general election. We'll have to wait to see whether he can get the nomination as a moderate. Short, readable summary of Romney's plan: http://moderatepoli.blogspot.com/2011/10/romneys-economic-plan-fail.html
It's funny to hear conservatives blame Obama for not getting legislation passed when their congressional reps. have done everything they can to block nearly every piece of legislation he has tried to pass.
More on topic… I don't think Mitt has anywhere near the electability that Obama has, no matter how bad the economy remains. The GOP certainly can't attack him on foreign policy or terrorism. Obama is also far more in tune with the majority of Americans on social issues, despite what conservatives might think. Running on an anti-gay, anti-women's rights, anti-science, anti-reality platform, just as Huntsman has said, is not going to lead to a presidential vicotry for the GOP. So unless Mitt can show that he has a plan to create millions of middle class jobs out of thin air, he's hopeless.
Experience? Mr. Obama has been the President for three years, rescued the economy from the Bush recession and has had stunning success in foreign policy against the obstructionism and irresponsibility of republicans.
Romney has a new flip to flop and a new flop to flip every day and now he is pandering to the extremists of the Tea Party. No principles, no core, no shame.
Imagine Mitt Romney –a moderate republican to full blown liberal– runs closest to Obama in in the general elections. That alone tells you that any republican who embrace conservatism has to no chance of being elected. But more, we can officially declare the conservative ideology we know today as dead. I guess some people will never get to "take back" their county and it might be wise for them to start accepting the new America. Hanity, Limbaugh and the likes can start thinking what they will do with their retirement
Hey 10:58, you rely on the great liberal lie – that the bank bailout (TARP) was the source of deficits, WRONG! All of that money, repeat ALL, has been paid back with interest. The Federal government made money (interest) on those billions. So the Obama deficits have come from now a bailout of banks but a HUGE explosions in spending – over $1 trillion more now than the last Bush budget. It was all supposed to be temporary but now Obama and his pals in the Senate (Harry Do Nothing Reid) are trying to keep the new, inflated budget as the baseline.
So, your comment that maybe I wanted the banks to go under makes no sense. That money was loaned and paid back. The only giveaways that were wasted was the Obama Stimulus – $700 billion to public employee unions, teachers unions and construction worker unions. Now Obama has a "Jobs Bill" that does the same thing – funnel money to unions. Nothing for the private sector or small business. Just more money to the groups that turn around and donate to his campaign. WORST PRESIDEN SINCE JIMMY CARTER!
Serious, 11:23, the Dems had the a WHite House and both houses of COngress so they could have done anything to save us from the recession. Instead they rammed thru a Health Care disaster of a bill and the Dodd Frank regulatory nightmare that continues to stifle investment and growth. THe GOP has had the House for 11 months so your storyline of Republican obstructionism does not hold water….Just wait til we have the Senate next month – then we can derail the leftist policy fiasco….
@ Anonymous 2
You guys are so hooked on 1980 is not even funny anymore. You all seem like a group of people that time forgot. We are in 2011, soon it will be 2012, and the challenges and world this country face now is not the same as they were back in the 1980s. Maybe you see Obama as Jimmy Carter and the Romney as Reagan but the world and America sees it differently. I encourage you to move on because that is the problem we conservatives face and it will cost us the 2012 election. It seems many of you guys can't get over 1980.
"Now Obama has a "Jobs Bill" that does the same thing – funnel money to unions. Nothing for the private sector or small business."
This is one of my favorite neocon talking points. As if there's some magical boundary between the public and private sector that prevents the money from changing hands. Do the neocons really not understand how many small businesses perform contract work with the government? The billions of dollars that went to the states through the stimulus was funneled to EVERYONE.
"Mitt Romney's America"? You've got to be kidding. There is nothing I've heard about or from Romney that makes me yearn for "Mitt Romney's America." It sounds like a country by and for people with lots of money, like Romney himself, with slight regard for the rights of working people, except a few strokes every 4 years. Romney talks a lot to, and about, ordinary working folks, but his policy preferences are for the wealthy all the way. And Romney's international outlook is simplistic and uninformed. Hopefully, "Mitt Romney's America" will never exist.
"rammed thru a Health Care disaster of a bill"
A 17 month ramming? That's quite a long time.
"Dodd Frank regulatory nightmare"
Transparency from the financial sector? The horror… the horror….
Anyone who attempts to deny the Republican obstructionism is living in an alternate universe.
When Obama took office there was talk – among Republicans – of bank runs and nationalizing banks, as well as 800,000 jobs lost PER MONTH!
Is any of that happening now?
Hey 1:16, millions HAVE lost their jobs under Obama. Unemployment is officially 9.1% with another huge number not counted by the government because they "have stopped looking for work". The real rate is probably 15%. So, the millions of jobs losses are a reality under this loser of an administration. And boo hoo, the GOP controls the House so the Dems actually have to negotiate now instead of passing terrible legislation along a party line vote. Obstructionism? Maybe. Compromise? Definitely. Why is that a tradegy for our post-partisan President?
I know that Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers collapses on my watch, that I was the guy who signed TARP into law, and wasted over $1 Trillion in Iraq, but blame Obama!
When Obama took office the auto industry faced imminent liquidation and Osama bin-Laden was openly mocking us.
Is any of that happening now?
In answer to 3:35, GM still owes the US tens of billions that will likely never be repaid. The people who held GM bonds lost billions. Of course, the auto workers union was a beneficiary of the auto bail out BIG TIME so that makes that waste of money okay for Obama. They will be funneling some of that cash back to his campaign.
And hats off to the Navy Seals who dispatched with Bin Laden. THe President gets credit for ordering that.
He also gets credit for the fact that now, on his watch, for every dollar being spent, 42 cent of it is borrowed. That is adding to the national debt by the tune of $4 billion PER DAY!. Since i know you think everything is Bush's fault, Bush's worst deficit (include war costs) was $450 billion. Obama's three year deficits: $1.3 trillion, $1.5 trillion and $1,4 trillion. Of course, none of that matters. We can continue spending and spending, the debt will never come due. Just ask Greece….
Wall street protesters are Obama's raise of the planet Apes army which spread from London per Zionist Washington DC and communist Moscow where Mr. SOVIET UNION NUMBER TWO or new Stalin is in place – PUTIN
Anonymous !!? REALLY !!?
NOBODY !!! ABSOLUTELY NOBODY IS ANONYMOUS IN A POLICE STATE AND NOR ARE THOSE WHO MADE YOU PROTEST FOR THEIR SAKE OR WHAT MULTICULTURALISM(animal Apartheid) IS !!!
ANTI WALL-STREET PROTESTS ARE ZIONIST "TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP" IN AMERICA !!! TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP FROM HANDS OF WHITE AMERICANS TO SO CALLED "MINORITIES"(COMMUNISM) !!! http://multiculturalismisterrorism.blogspot.com
When Obama took office, every economic metric ended with the phrase "…which is the worst since the Great Depression" and Arab despots were riding high.
Is any of that happening now?
wehr macht what's that some neonaz crap? Stuff it aschloch!
I love the nonsense from 5:41 that everything was the worst since the Great Depression. Yes, things are still bad AND we have a mountain of new debt. And to try to give Obama credit for the Arab spring is a laugh! France and England did the heavy lifting to oust Ghadafi. THe US did not support protesters in Iran (they were hammered by the medieval despots running that Islamic police state) and the outster of Saddam was whose idea?
With Romney coming out in favor of the Personhood Policy which would likely label abortion as murder, disallow abortions, even based on a woman who is a victim of rape, incest and possible jeopardy of her health or life, I am more than greatly concerned. Apparently this policy may ban the IUD and other methods of birth control. Totally against women being able to make their own choices. This legislation has already been passed in some states. It is so disconcerting and dangerous and against Roe vs. Wade. Of course, the Republicans, captured by the extreme right, want to overturn this protective legislation. Abortion is a difficult decision for women, as it is, and is not done frivolously. This one issue is enough to fight Romney on any front, as well as the rest of the Republican candidates Supporting President Obama and those who fight against their scary agendas deserve our support. Yes, I am more than furious.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (January 2, 2014) – The Rutgers women's basketball team kicks off the New Year by hosting Houston on Saturday, Jan. 4 at noon at the RAC. The Scarlet Knights are currently riding a six-game win streak and are 6-0 at home this season.
Rutgers returns home to kick off the AAC home slate with Houston with Military Appreciation Day, as well as, the Amazing Christopher at halftime.
All active and retired military personnel with ID can purchase a $10.00 reserved or $5.00 general admission ticket to RU's first AAC game of the year.
The Amazing Christopher will perform at halftime and is widely recognized for his original and unique blend of puppetry and dance which has appeared on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno and "The American Comedy Awards." His act has appeared at halftime of NBA and NCAA games for over the past 20 years.
The first 1,000 fans can pick up a USA Block R magnet. Also don't forget to pick up a Briyona Canty trading card available to the first 200 fans at the ticket table.
• Saturday's American Athletic Conference-matchup with Houston tips off at noon E.T. Live video will be available via RVision, with Danny Breslauer and Ed Cohen on the call. Additionally, WRSU, the Rutgers student station at 88.7 FM, will be at the RAC to cover all the action.
• Rutgers enters the contest at 10-2 overall after defeating USF, 66-53, in its conference-opener. Two Scarlet Knights scored in double figures, as RU went on a 21-0 run in the first half and never looked back.
• Sophomore forward Kahleah Copper leads RU in scoring and field goal percentage. She is seventh in the American with 15.7 points per game and fourth in field goal percentage (58.6 percent).
• Junior Betnijah Laney has notched five straight double-doubles, averaging 13.1 points and 10.5 rebounds per game this season. Her rebound average is second-best in the American.
• Sophomore Rachel Hollivay enters the matchup tied for sixth nationally in blocks per game (3.5). That figure is good for tops in the American.
Houston enters the matchup after dropping its first two conference games to UCF (67-59) and USF (77-54), respectively. The Cougars last victory came at Rice on Dec. 20, when the squad won by a 67-54 margin. Junior Demetria Foreman scored a career-high 20 points in the win to lead all scorers.
Sophomore guard Alecia Smith scored 15 points in each of Houston's last two games to lead the offensive attack. The Cougars led after the first half of both of their American matchups, taking a 31-27 lead into the locker room against UCF on Dec. 28 and a 31-30 over USF on Dec. 31.
However, Houston was outscored a combined 90-51 in the second half of their last two games while going cold from the field, shooting just 22.3 percent (15-67) in the final stanza.
On the season, Te'onna Campbell is the Cougars' leading scorer, averaging 11.3 points per game on 40 percent shooting. Marche Amerson is the only other Houston player to average double-digit points with 10.3 points per game.
On the glass the Cougars are paced by Yasmeen Thompson, whose 8.1 rebounds per game are good for fifth in the American.
Saturday's matchup with the Cougars represents the first-ever meeting between the two schools.
Rutgers began its brief stint in the American with a 66-53 win over USF.
Prior to the American, the Scarlet Knights were 201-94 (.681) all-time in BIG EAST regular season games. RU went 116-31 (.789) in conference home games and conversely was 85-63 (.574) all-time in BIG EAST regular season road games.
Rutgers opened play in the American 1-0 by defeating USF, 66-53 on Dec. 28. RU went 12-6 in BIG EAST openers as well as 16-2 in BIG EAST home openers prior to joining the American. The Scarlet Knights have won eight of their last 11 conference openers.
The Scarlet Knights have had an outstanding track record of success at home during the previous 10 seasons under head coach C. Vivian Stringer.
RU is 6-0 at home to start the season for the second straight year. Rutgers has gone 141-21 at the RAC since the 2002-03 season. The Scarlet Knights went 13-2 at the RAC last season, including a victory over No. 21/22 Miami, and are currently 6-0 this season.
Rutgers at the RAC over the last 10 years:
2013-14: 6-0
2012-13: 13-2 (St. John's, UConn)
2011-12: 12-3 (Tenn, Notre Dame, St. John's)
2010-11: 12-1 (UConn)
2009-10: 10-5 (Stanford, Temple, Notre Dame Syracuse, St. John's)
2008-09: 14-4 (Tennessee, USF, Pittsburg, UConn)
2007-09: 14-1 (Stanford)
2006-07: 11-2 (Duke, UConn)
2005-06: 11-1 (Temple)
2004-05: 13-0
2003-04: 14-1 (UConn)
2002-03: 11-2 (Boston College, Miami)
The Scarlet Knights have scored 60 or more points in 11 of their 12 games this season. On the season, RU is averaging 67.3 points per game. That is 11.3 points more than the squad averaged last year and the best scoring average since the Final Four season in 2006-07 when the Scarlet Knights averaged 64.4 points per game.
The starting lineup of Rachel Hollivay, Kahleah Copper, Tyler Scaife, Syessence Davis and Betnijah Laney was used for the fourth time this season against USF. That starting five is 4-0.
The Scarlet Knights have won six straight, tying for longest win streak since winning six games spanning Dec. 18, 2011 – Jan 14, 2012.
For the second straight game, two of the top-five rebounding players in the American will square off. RU junior Betnijah Laney, second in the league with 10.5 rebounds per game, will do battle with Houston's Yasmeen Thompson, whose 8.4 rebounds per game is good for fifth.
USF sophomore Alisia Jenkins and Laney, who are first and second, respectively, in the American Athletic Conference on the glass, competed last time out in RU's conference-opener.
Junior forward Betnijah Laney, a two-time member of the AAC Honor Roll and reigning Player of the Week, has registered five consecutive double-doubles and is averaging 16.4 points and 11.4 rebounds in the last five Scarlet Knight outings. The double-double streak is the longest for an RU player in the last 10 years, while her total this season (seven) is five shy of Kia Vaughn's 12 double-doubles in the 2006-07 season. That double-double mark is the most in the last 10 seasons.
In the last four games, Laney has combined to go 29-of-48 for 60.4 percent from the floor. To date, Laney has registered double figures in all but two appearances.
Rutgers has had three or more Scarlet Knights reach double figures in 10 of the first 12 games of the 2013-14 season.
Sophomore forward Kahleah Copper has reached double figures in 11 of the first 12 games played to date. Copper is the first Scarlet Knights since Epiphanny Prince in the 2006-07 season to start the year off with 11 straight double figure performances. Prince kicked off the 2006-07 national championship game season running away with 11 straight double figure contests.
Copper's streak came to an end against USF, against which she was 4-of-10 from the field for nine points. Only two Scarlet Knights scored in double figures last time out, with Betnijah Laney registering 18 points and Tyler Scaife scoring 14. It was just the second time in 2013-14 that two or fewer Scarlet Knights scored in double figures.
On the season, Rutgers is averaging 34.5 points in the paint. RU has scored 30 or more points in the paint in seven of its last eight games and nine times this season. The team won the points in the paint battle in 10 of 12 games, and is 9-1 in those contests.
The Rutgers women's basketball team has taken some rather large runs in games this season. The five runs are listed below in periodically descending order.
UMass - 10-0 - Minutewomen held scoreless for 4:27
Howard - 10-0 - Bison held scoreless for 1:04
Davidson - 15-0 - Wildcats held scoreless for 7:49
Sacred Heart - 21-0 - Pioneers held scoreless for 9:50
USF - 21-0 - Bulls held scoreless for 8:28
Sophomore Kahleah Copper made her first attempt from the field in 11 of 12 games this season. She leads RU with a 58.6 percent shooting clip, which is good for fourth in the league.
Junior guard Syessence Davis has proved to be invaluable on defense this season. Against USF on Dec. 28, Davis recorded four steals, her eighth consecutive game of three or more thefts.
Davis recorded a career-high seven steals against Wagner on Dec. 12, surpassing her previous best effort of five which was captured on four occasions, most recently at Davidson (Dec. 4). In the last seven games, Davis has averaged 4.3 steals per game and currently ranks second (3.2) in the American in the category.
After traveling to Cincinnati on Tuesday, Jan. 7, the Scarlet Knights will welcome SMU on Saturday, Jan. 11 on Alumni Appreciation Day. All Rutgers alumni will have the opportunity to purchase $10.00 reserved seats and $5.00 general admission tickets. Alumni interested in the offer can contact the ticket office at 866-445-GORU.
Also on Jan. 11 against SMU, Professional Simon Sez caller Steve Max will be on hand at halftime, putting a new twist on the classic kids' game. Max is known nationally for his appearances on TV shows and at NBA halftimes. Rutgers women's Basketball would like to invite Junior Knights to participate in the Simon Sez halftime show. The first 50 members interested can call the ticket office at 866-445-GORU to sign up for a complimentary game ticket and participation in the halftime show.

"Who is the little chicken man now? A terrorist? Typical liberal, zero substance all name calling. Say it to my face u coward."And later, on the air:
"He is the latest liberal entertainer to launch an outrageous Twitter tirade against yourstruly. Singer-songwriter — by the way, you probably don't know him, he's not that popular — Ryan Adams… We reached out to Mr. Adams, we invited him on the show for a comment. His little agent replied, because he was too chicken, in an email, 'Ryan's statement is is tweet and vice versa'… Why don't you have the courage to come on the show and defend yourself? He called me a 'terrorist'… If we wanted to torture terrorists, we can play his music, which isn't that popular anyway… Come on the program, stop being a wimp, he's hiding behind his rock star makeup like the gutless little coward that he is."
Hanitty has freedom of speech as we all do making comments and tweets. I see alot of finger pointing and bashing one another on comments, but nobody has put forth any solutions, even a simple one would be a start.
I think we all can agree we want a President who is in the best interest of the people of the United States Of America.
If a President doesnt come into office a millionaire or billionaire, they sure do leave office with millions in there pockets.
If you present facts and state facts, you never have to remember your lies.
When Obama said has the last 4 years been better for you, what you think people on food stamps, welfare or any gov't hand out will say????????????
Instead of ignoring an obvious 'wind-up' by Ryan Adams, Sean Hannity continues to display the most crass buffoonish personality on TV. Is there no one behind the scenes at FOX who can convince Mr. Hannity that he would be better served by not rising to every piece of bait in the water? Even his erstwhile mentor, Bill O'Reilly, seems to have adjusted the level of belligerence (note, not the actual content or tone of his program) in his nightly delivery.
By contrast, Sean Hannity is like a rabid junkyard dog - and this behavior is not just reserved for his Democratic Party/Liberal enemies. Take some time to check out his confrontations on YouTube - the Christopher Hitchens one is my particular favorite. He comes across as a petulant schoolyard bully, incapable of conducting an impartial interview (not that he is alone in that particular failing), who time after time resorts to shouting down/talking over his guest.
In my opinion, he has never been comfortable dealing with topics that require a considerable degree of research and intellect for a basic level of understanding. For him there is a much easier road to take - one that involves dumbing down the complexity of the discussion to a point where he feels secure and, having his adversary sink to the same level.
"Prejudices are rarely overcome by argument; not being founded in reason they cannot be destroyed by logic" - Tryon Edwards
SH would probably tag team with another right wing nut and not let RA get a word in. Saw him and Michelle Maklin gang up on a lady the other night about Obamaphones. Turned my stomach after about 2 minutes. They were definitely NOT interested in hearing facts, only spewing the Fox Misinformation Channel's terrorist traitor talking points.
Fox 'News', The More You Watch, The Less You Know (and I think they're proud of it)
Ryan Adams, not Bryan Adams. So, If you don't know him, he's a nobody? Shows the scope of some folks awareness.
Ryan Adams was the front man and songwriter for the band Whiskeytown, He went solo and has played with Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead) Warren Haynes (Allman Bros, Gov't Mule) and a host of others. He aslo fronts Ryan Adams and the Cardinals. Well respected in the music biz as a performer, songwriter and producer. Adams is also an author.
Hannity made his name as a gay basher. I have seen him on Fox and he is all red meat propaganda and no substance. He talks over those he disgrees with. Hannity specializes in strawman arguments and false equivelencies. Al Franken exposed Hannity's act in Franken's books.
So after a quick internet search I found out who Ryan Adams is, he was acharacter in a video game called PAX.AM, the great video game PAX.AM we all played as kids. Remember? Remember? Sorry, my minds not right. I grew up in an old home and I just loved to eat the candy that fell off the walls!

Alert: Is Newt Gingrich's EMP Doomsday a Reality?
This may sound familiar if, like me, you might be a enthusiast of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" -- a massively well-known first-individual video game match dependent in a fictional around-foreseeable future when the U.S. goes to war with Russia. But if you've been subsequent the GOP presidential campaign recently, you may feel one or two of the candidates are out of touch with the not-so-fictional close to long term.
In particular, it seems Newt Gingrich has been enjoying too a lot "Call of Responsibility."
Gingrich has been a prolonged-time worrier about the danger of an attack on the U.S. from a prosperous terrorist organization or rogue nation -- these kinds of as North Korea or Iran -- that could cripple the nation, killing "tens of millions" of citizens. But how could this sort of a dastardly deed be completed?
Citing the specter that has been hanging over us since the Chilly War, he believes the U.S. is vulnerable to an electromagnetic pulse -- or EMP for quick.
A nuclear weapon could be detonated above North The united states, reasons Gingrich, and the ensuing electronic interference would render the nation's power grid, satellites, computer systems and so forth., useless. Loss of life and mayhem would ensue. It would be a little bit like "Mad Max," but with less '70's hairdos.
"With no satisfactory planning, we would fundamentally eliminate our civilization in a make a difference of seconds," he stated for the duration of a 2009 conference.
The scenario is evidently so dire that Gingrich co-wrote a doomsday book on the subject, known as "One 2nd Following."
Despite the fact that recreation builders just take the influence of EMP harm for granted, what are the realities of a space-based mostly nuclear detonation?
Supporting Gingrich's argument, the effect of substantial-altitude nuclear checks during the Cold War proves that detonating nuclear bombs is a negative thought all-spherical.
In 1962, the U.S. detonated a 1.4 megaton nuke two hundred miles over the Pacific Sea to, you know, see what would take place.
Despite the fact that positioned 900 miles from the blast site, Hawaii felt the influence from the renowned "Starfish Primary" explosion. Streetlights have been knocked out, phone communications had been blocked and home alarms were triggered.
Stunning equatorial auroral displays also lit up the sky. The function was nicknamed the "rainbow bomb."
The nuclear blast had caused all sorts of higher-ambiance turmoil that produced fast and strong alterations in the Earth's magnetic field, producing a pulse during the environment under. The ensuing induction of electrical currents shorted unshielded electrical provides, like Honolulu's streetlights.
Radiation also surged over the ambiance, leading to indiscriminate hurt to a number of satellites. The world's first commercial communications satellite Telstar was also badly bruised by the incident.
Examination: Will You Survive A Nuclear Assault?
In the very same year, a similar check by the Soviets -- making use of a smaller sized warhead over a populated region of Kazakhstan -- created an amplified EMP influence owing to the more robust geomagnetic subject at that latitude, leading to a power station to fall short and catch fire.

The Hobbit will stay home in Middle-earth after a deal that confirms Sir Peter Jackson's much-awaited prequel to 'The Lord of the Rings' is to be filmed in New Zealand.
Two days of negotiations between the NZ government and Warner Bros executives have confirmed New Zealand as the location for filming the two-part Hobbit films - the biggest movie franchise in the world, ever.
NZ Prime Minister John Key says the deal will benefit the country's film industry and tourism, and keeps New Zealand on the stage as "a great place to make movies".
Film agreement
The agreement requires a change to labour laws regarding contract film workers and will cost more, but Mr Key said New Zealand could not afford to lose the shoot.
New Zealand's alpine peaks, rain forests and wilderness provided the dramatic backdrop of Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings' film trilogy and losing the two-part prequel would have been a blow for the economy, Key said.
Keeping the NZ$670 million project in New Zealand will create thousands of jobs as well as tourism opportunities and international exposure.
New Zealand has also secured the world première for one of the movies, and Sir Peter Jackson will work on material promoting NZ as a tourism destination. The material will be included in DVDs and digital products for The Hobbit, which is expected to reach an international audience of tens of millions.
The total cost to the New Zealand government, including tax rebates and the marketing credit, is estimated at nearly NZ$100 million, but Mr Key said it made financial sense because of the marketing opportunities for New Zealand tourism.
Great news for NZ
Filming of The Hobbit in New Zealand was great news for New Zealand and New Zealand's tourism industry, according to Tourism New Zealand's public affairs manager Suzanne Carter.
Like 'Lord of the Rings', The Hobbit provided another great opportunity to promote New Zealand to the world in a unique way and to raise awareness of New Zealand as a visitor destination, she said.
"From a tourism perspective the flow-on effects of these films reach communities across the country with visitors coming to enjoy our unique scenery and lifestyle and using our tourism services as they travel.
"People are still travelling to New Zealand today because of the exposure gained through the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy and The Hobbit will provide another much-needed boost to our billion dollar tourism industry," Carter said.
A number of specific 'Lord of the Rings' tours continue to attract scores of tourists to New Zealand - offering fans the chance to travel down Hobbit paths, hand-make their own 'One Ring', and handle replica swords, flags and helmets.
Hobbit underway
Though work was already underway, a spokesman for Sir Peter Jackson said the events of recent weeks had put pre-production for The Hobbit behind by five weeks.
The movie was given the green light by Hollywood earlier this month.
Sir Peter Jackson will direct the two-part movie story which will be shot in 3D. Filming is scheduled to start in February 2011, with the installments expected to hit cinemas in December 2012 and 2013.
Mark Hadlow and Peter Hambleton, New Zealand actors who have been cast as dwarves in The Hobbit, were "delighted" to hear the movie would be shot in New Zealand.
"The most important thing to come out of it is that these two films are now going to be shot in New Zealand. That will have a positive impact," said Hadlow.
Hambleton said it was a "massive" thing for the country.
"It's great for New Zealand, let's look forward to making great movies and get on with it," Hambleton said.
Weta Workshops
Weta Workshop co-founder Sir Richard Taylor said the news The Hobbit would be filmed here marked a "wonderful day for the New Zealand film industry".
"To the Hon John Key, Warners, Peter [Jackson], Fran [Walsh] and Philippa [Boyens] - thank you!"
Jackson has co-written The Hobbit screenplays with his partner Fran Walsh, New Zealander Phillipa Boyens, and Mexican director Guillermo del Toro, who was originally set to direct the movies.
The films will be produced by Jackson, Fran Walsh and Carolynne Cunningham with Boyens as co-producer, and Ken Kamins as executive producer.
The Hobbit is being co-produced by New Line Cinema and MGM, with New Line managing production, Warner Bros Pictures handling domestic distribution and MGM distributing internationally.
Background: Hobbiton - Matamata, New Zealand
Meanwhile, according to the Waikato Times newspaper, locals in the little Waikato town of Matamata are celebrating the news that they're still the centre of 'the shire'.
Matamata Piako Mayor Hugh Vercoe said the announcement was ''wonderful news'' for the town that hosted the Hobbiton film set for the 'Lord of the Rings' movies.
Already top of the itinerary for LOTR fans, the Hobbiton film set - with its 37 Hobbit homes and rolling green pastures - has been undergoing extensive development in preparation for location work on The Hobbit.
The working sheep and beef farm, which was discovered by Sir Peter Jackson's film location scouts in 1998, was the scene of three months filming for the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy.
Some Hobbit holes and structures were preserved after production was completed, and the movie set has since become a thriving tourist attraction that attracts more than 20,000 visitors annually.
Hobbiton Movie Set and Farm Tours managing director Russell Alexander says it's business as usual at the farm.

Keys To Diagnosing Metastatic Melanoma In The Foot And Ankle
- Volume 27 - Issue 2 - February 2014
- 5451 reads
- 0 comments
CUBED is a relatively new acronym tailored for lesions of the foot and ankle. It stands for:2
• Colored lesion
• Uncertain diagnosis
• Bleeding lesions (including chronic granular lesions)
• Enlargement of the lesion despite treatment therapies
• Delay in healing beyond two months.
What The Literature Reveals About Recurrence And Survival Rates
Rates of recurrence vary depending on the literature. In one study, researchers found 36 percent recurrence rates for patients who received local excision and 0 percent for patients treated with digital amputations.4 Overall, they found lesions between 1 to 4 mm had the highest risk of recurrence but after 75 months, lesions greater than 4 mm had a low risk of recurrence. The study authors found no correlation among the histology, thickness and site of origin or mitotic index with recurrence rate. The researchers also found the rate of recurrence with patients with foot melanoma and poor prognostic factors had excellent survival rates in comparison to patients with melanoma of the trunk or extremities.
Another study found that the five-year overall survival rate for melanoma of the foot and ankle was 63 percent and 51 percent for 10 years.5 In the study, 32 patients with plantar or subungual lesions had a mean duration of survival of 47 months in comparison to 72 months for the 28 patients with foot or ankle lesions. Fifteen patients who had a misdiagnosis had a mean duration of survival of 22 months in comparison to 67 months for 45 patients with correct diagnosis. Another study found that 33 percent of patients with acral lentiginous melanoma of the foot or ankle initially had the wrong diagnosis, and the average time for correct diagnosis was 13.5 months.6
chronic, intractable pain. The survival rate is also drastically lower. In a study reviewing 11 patients with osseous metastasis of melanoma, researchers found that the mean time from initial diagnosis of melanoma to radiographic evidence of osseous metastasis was 9.75 months.7 After radiographic changes were visible, the mean survival time was 5.67 months. The treatment that one renders at this point is usually supportive at best. The priorities are to prevent fractures and provide pain relief.
What You Should Know About The Patient Presentation
In 2008, a 45-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department after a two-week history of a palpable mass to the right anterior-lateral mid-thigh. Six years earlier, the patient had wide local excision of two suspicious lesions of the back and right calf. The lesion on the back had melanoma and the patient subsequently had an excision of the right axillary lymph nodes. The lesion on the calf later recurred and a second biopsy revealed melanoma as well. The patient reported no further complications until this visit.
A biopsy of the new lesion on the thigh also revealed melanoma. The patient then went to oncology for treatment including interleukin and radiation therapy.
The patient then presented to the emergency department for pain to the left anterior ankle and mid-leg in 2010. He denied any trauma to the area. There was no limitation of ankle joint range of motion but there was pain throughout. X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and bone scans found metastases to the left lower leg, clavicle, sternum, liver and brain. X-rays revealed a lytic lesion to the proximal fibula and MRI of the ankle showed an osteochondral lesion of the left talus.
The patient wore a supportive brace but I lost him to follow-up. After a review of medical records, the patient continued to see oncology for painful lesions that developed in the upper extremities as well as recurrent headaches. The patient received further radiation therapy until his death in 2011.

way, way too many to list, but this one ranks in my top 10 of my favorite films of all time:
"Experience Preferred, but not Essential"
saw it almost 30 years ago at an "arthouse" theater, and it stuck with me all these years later.
it's in English, but set in Wales. . so it's a foreign film, even if they are speaking English
Very good film about a girl called Annie (Elizabeth Edmonds) finding love with a cook at a small Welsh hotel in 1962. Her relative happiness is contrasted with everyone else's desperate search for love. Excellent early 1960s period sets, costumes and music make this film a joy for nostalgia buffs. It is the second of a series of three from the talented British producers, all of them dealing with youthful romance. Originally produced for British television, this is a picture not to be missed.
Can't find the trailer available anywhere online, but here's the first few moments of the film (as found on youtube) that gives you the basic "feel" of the film:

PHOENIX, Ariz. (WHAS) -- A gigantic dust storm took over part of Southwestern Arizona Tuesday.
Storms moving through the Phoenix area packed strong winds and kicked up a lot of dirt causing a huge dust wall.
The dust storms, also called "haboobs", knocked out power poles and caused the cancellation of several flights.
The dust storm measured 50 miles wide.
