10 More Worthwhile Web Developer Websites to Check Out
A recent article of mine entitled "20 Websites That Made Me A Better Web Developer" attained a large amount of popularity and I was pleased to find out that many people found a link or two that they've bookmarked.
The list started out as a massive collection of 100 websites (after going through my massive-huge bookmark collection) , but I then decided that, instead of overwhelming readers with 100 links that will be skimmed and forgotten the next day, that I would filter it down to only 20 quality websites that have been truly helpful and rich with information. A few things on the list were there for sentimental reasons, such as Web Monkey and SitePoint, which did help at the beginning, but now I've outgrown.
I received plenty of feedback regarding sites that should have been on the list. Here, I'd like to make amends and list down websites that have helped you (and me) further our understanding of web development and design.

Family and early life[edit]
Mammootty was born as Muhammad Kutty Ismail Paniparambil and raised in the village of Chempu near Vaikom in the Kottayam district of the state of Kerala, India in a middle-class, Muslim family. He was the eldest son. He has two younger brothers, Ibrahim and Zakariah and three younger sisters, Ameena, Sauda and Shafina.[11] His father Ismail was a farmer and his mother Fatima was a housewife. Mammootty's father shifted his family to Ernakulam during the 1960s; his school life was at St. Albert's School and Government School Ernakulam. He did his pre-university course (pre-degree) at Maharajas College, Kochi, and then graduated with a L.L.B. (Bachelor of Laws) from Ernakulam Government Law College. He practised law for two years in Manjeri.
He married Sulfath in 1979[2] and has a daughter, Surumi (b. 1982) and a son, Dulquer Salman (b. 1986). Mammootty's younger brother Ebrahimkutty is a television and film actor in Malayalam. Ebrahimkutty's son Maqbool Salmaan is a film actor.[12]
Acting career[edit]
Early career (1971–1980)[edit]
Mammootty's debut was an uncredited appearance in the 1971 film Anubhavangal Paalichakal directed by K. S. Sethumadhavan, which starred Sathyan, Prem Nazir and Sheela in the lead roles.[13] Mammootty then was a student at the Maharajas College.[14]
His second film was Kaalachakram, a 1973 Malayalam film directed by K. Narayanan, and starring Prem Nazir and Jayabharathi. This was the first dialogued appearance of Mammootty, who appeared only in one scene in the film. He acted under the screen name Sajin, but later dropped it.[15]
His professional film career began in 1979, when he played his first lead role in Devalokam, directed by veteran M. T. Vasudevan Nair. However, this film was never completed.[11][16]
His next film was the 1980 film, Vilkkanundu Swapnangal, directed by Azad, written by M. T. Vasudevan Nair, and starring Sukumaran in the lead role.[17] The film featured Mammootty, as an antagonist in a supporting role. The voice for Mammootty in this film was dubbed by Sreenivasan.[18]
Mammootty's first full length character was in the 1980 film Mela which was written and directed by K. G. George and starred Raghu and Anjali Naidu as other lead actors. Mammootty played the antagonist in this film.[19]
Mammootty began to establish himself as a recognised actor through his films of the 1980s viz Sphodanam (directed by P. G. Viswambharan), Munnettam (directed by Sreekumaran Thampi), Thrishna (directed by I.V. Sasi), etc.[20][21] In 1981, he got his first state award in the Best Supporting Actor category for his performance in Ahimsa.[22] His performances in films like Aalkkoottathil Thaniye and Adiyozhukkukal, scripted by M. T. Vasudevan Nair, established him as a leading actor of Malayalam film industry.[8] He played the role of a police officer in the investigative thriller Yavanika (1982) directed by K. G. George.
In a period of five years from 1982 to 1987 Mammootty acted in more than 150 films in the lead role.[17] In 1986 alone, he acted in about 35 films.[16]
In the mid 80s he collaborated in what became known as the 'Mammootty-Kutty-Petty' films. These films had Mammootty as the protagonist, a husband and a father, with a 3–4-year old daughter, and employed in a top ranking post in a company. Mammootty made a comeback with New Delhi and Thaniyavarthanam, both released in 1987. In New Delhi he played a victimised journalist, who systematically took revenge on politicians who flattered him. He received the Kerala Film Critics Awards for Best Actor for his role as Balan Mash in Thaniyavarthanam, written by Lohithadas and directed by Sibi Malayil.[23]
In 1988 Mammootty starred in Oru CBI Diary Kurippu as a CBI officer. Following Oru CBI Diary Kurippu, three more murder mystery sequels were produced with the same cast of characters: Jagratha (1989), Sethurama Iyer CBI (2004) and Nerariyan CBI (2005), all directed by K. Madhu, penned by S. N. Swamy with Mammootty as Sethurama Iyer, an intelligent but unassuming CBI officer. Two of M. T. Vasudevan Nair's films with autobiographical elements were acted in by Mammootty. One was Aksharangal directed by I. V. Sasi and the other was Sukrutham directed by Harikumar.
Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha was directed by T. Hariharan and penned by M.T.Vasudevan Nair. Mammootty's depiction of a Chekavar (mercenary warrior) of distinguished valor but vilified by circumstances won him the National Film Award for Best Actor. Along with the huge commercial success of the film, Mammooty was given rave reviews about his lead role in the film, which required heavy physical and psychological preparations. His role as a hunter Varunni in Mrigaya, directed by I.V. Sasi, and another film Mahayanam, were also scanned for the State Award. Mammootty won the Filmfare award for Amaram directed by Bharathan. He played the role of an uneducated fisherman who dreams of making his only daughter a doctor.
During this time, Mammootty appeared in many of the films directed by Adoor Gopalakrishnan. He starred in three of Gopalakrishnan's films, Anantaram ('Thenceforth'), Mathilukal ('Walls') and Vidheyan ('The Servile'). His portrayal of the protagonist in Mathilukal (based on Mathilukal, a novel by the Malayalam novelist Vaikom Muhammad Basheer) was instrumental in getting him his first National Film Award for Best Actor. Mammootty also portrayed the roles in Adoor Gopalakrishnan's Vidheyan and T V Chandran's Ponthan Mada. He received the National Film Award for Best Actor and State Award for his roles in both films. His performance in Valtsalyam, directed by Cochin Haneefa, was also considered for the State Award.
1994 to 2000[edit]
The King, scripted by Renji Panikkar, was released in 1995 and was directed by Shaji Kailas. Mammootty played the central character as a District collector.
In 1997, he won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for the movie Bhoothakannadi directed by Lohithadas.
In 1999, Mammootty won his third national award for Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar, an English language movie about the life of B. R. Ambedkar, directed by Jabbar Patel.[24] The film was sponsored by the National Film Development Corporation of India and the Ministry of Social Justice.
By the end of the 1990s he acted in films such as Priyadarshan's Megham and Fazil's Harikrishnans in which he co-starred with actor Mohanlal. Due to immense popularity of both the actors, Fazil was forced to use multiple climaxes for the first time in India in Harikrishnans.[25]
Mammootty started off the decade with Lohithadas's Arayannagalude Veedu in 2000. A critical and commercial success, it earned the Filmfare Best Malayalam Actor Award for Mammootty.[26] He portrayed Arackal Madhavanunni in Shaji Kailas's action thriller Valliettan, which was one of the highest grossing films of the year.[27]
In 2001 he acted in two films including Dubai, one of the most expensive films ever made in Malayalam.[28] In 2002, he acted in three films.

The film was written and directed by Siddique and produced by Malayalam director Fazil. The film was released as a Vishu release in 2003. It ran for more than 115 days.[29]
In 2004, the third instalment in the CBI series, Sethurama Iyer CBI marked Mammootty's comeback. Also in 2004, he won the state award for his portrayal of Madhavan in Blessy's Kazhcha. Ranjith's Black and V. M. Vinu's Vesham were also successful ventures.[30]
Mammootty had six releases in 2005, including Anwar Rasheed's directorial debut Rajamanikyam. He portrayed Bellary Raja, a Thiruvananthapuram based cattle dealer in the film, which was the highest grosser of the year and highest grossing Malayalam film until 2008.[31]
In 2006, Mammootty won the Filmfare Best Actor Award for the movie Karutha Pakshikal directed by Kamal. He also acted in I. V.

Sasi's 144th film, and a record 35th with Mammootty.[32] In 2006, Mammootty continued his success with the film Thuruppu Gulan. Mammootty's action comedy Mayavi in 2007 was a box office blockbuster and was the highest grossing Malayalam film of that year. [33] His portrayal of Dr. Nathan in Shyamaprasad's Ore Kadal (2007) was critically acclaimed. In 2007 he also acted in commercially successful Big B.

He was nominated for the National Award for Best Actor in 2009, but he lost the award in the final round of the competition to Amitabh Bachchan.

A new distance for data sets (and probability measures) in a RKHS context
AbstractIn this paper we define distance functions for data sets (and distributions) in a RKHS context. To this aim we introduce kernels for data sets that provide a metrization of the set of points sets (the power set). An interesting point in the proposed kernel distance is that it takes into account the underlying (data) generating probability distributions. In particular, we propose kernel distances that rely on the estimation of density level sets of the underlying distribution, and can be extended from data sets to probability measures. The performance of the proposed distances is tested on a variety of simulated distributions plus a couple of real pattern recognition problems

Global technology IPO activity, which took off in the last quarter of 2013 continued and gained speed in Q2'14. The technology sector surpassed expectations in the second quarter, with 43 IPOs and US$12.3bn in proceeds. Compared to the 17 deals in Q2'13, the number of Q2'14 deals increased by 153% and total proceeds grew by 327% (Q2 '13 US$2.9bn). Though the number of technology IPOs increased 65% over the prior quarter, the average issue size in Q2'14 was only marginally higher (US$285.1mn versus US$263.0mn). An improving Eurozone led to the return of technology IPOs in Europe with listings on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and one on Euronext in Paris.
In Q2'14, the Internet Software & Services sector had the most IPOs (21) with proceeds of US$5.2bn; followed by 11 IPOs in the Software sector which raised US$3.1bn. Increasing Internet penetration, growing Ecommerce and rebounding consumer demand in the developing economies, and the shift from product to service across industry as a whole, is resulting in accelerating demand for Internet and software innovations.
The Semiconductor subsector had four IPOs which raised US$418mn, a 70% increase in amount raised quarter over quarter and a 50% increase in number of deals. There were no semiconductor IPOs in Q2'13 due in large part to the China IPO freeze. Of the four semiconductor IPOs this quarter, two were Chinese companies, one US and one from Israel.
The geographic distribution of technology IPOs in Q2'14 was spread across 10 nations with US, China and UK leading the way. The US and China recorded the most activity with 35% (15) and 33% (14) of total deals, respectively. Second quarter activity broadened geographically as the global economy continued to show improvement and investors' confidence in IPO stocks further strengthened.
In terms of average proceeds, the UK with US$523.0mn was considerably higher than US with average deal size of US$272.6mn. The US raised US$4.09bn; followed by China which raised US$3.79bn and the UK at US$3.14bn. Other territories included in RoW had eight deals raising US$1.3bn.

Filmmakers Alper Cagatay and Christopher Thompson have cooked up a new documentary called 'How to Sell a Banksy.' From the film's website:
In other words, some guys hunt down Banksy graffiti, do what they can to pull it down, sometimes in tatters, and try to sell it, whilst filming their journey. At this rate, a Banksy ride that exits into a gift shop doesn't seem like such a far-fetched idea.
Banksy's work now reportedly changes hands for millions. But he puts up his street art for free. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you got your hands on one of these? ... [The film] raises questions of ownership, authentication and the true value of art itself. Through all the chaos and incompetence comes a modern-day, true-story, crime-theft, comedy-caper.
A trailer for the new documentary has hit the web, and you can see it for yourself after the jump.

Sometimes ALL You Need is an Influential, Inspirational Ally…
Spent a good part of this morning on the phone with Cirilo talking about the redesign of the website and he laughingly kidded me about Agent Zed coming to my house the other day. I told him that Agent Oso(dreamy) called me yesterday and said that he'd found out that he couldn't actually keep the book and the coin cure I gave him when he was leaving here on whatever day he was here this week. Said that one of his bosses (the Chief?) told him there could be impropriety construed in such a gift. (NOTHING compared to the impropriety that some of the Facebook ladies thought should have gone on here then though!) but, he wanted to know, when could he come back over to return the bribe, um, I mean, the gifts?
Now, I know what you're all going to say, but, I still think that dead is dead whether the serial killer is drop dead handsome or not. Really, is there any difference being murdered by Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy? Dead is still dead. And I never did check his creds. And I'm still not sure why he needed to come back over here, but, I told him to go ahead and drop everything in the mail. Cirilo laughed his ass off, but, hey, I'm still here to tell the story ain't I? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Anyway, this whole web agenda has been a GIANT GIANT GIANT (oh, did I say GIANT?) pain in my ass FOREVER. I've paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars to all kinds of companies throughout the years trying to get a brand identity that sticks. I've paid PR firms and web designer firms, I've paid, most recently, a management firm…all for naught. Except, I do believe that Cirilo really gets "me" and gets what I'm all about and what I'm trying to accomplish and how much I believe in the power of a partnership with all of you! You create the scenario of your dreams and I'll share with you the tools that will get you building that best life blueprint in the NOW. You + Me = Success, Happiness, Good Life. I can't do it alone. I need you to need what it is that I know. And, then, together, we change the planet one peaceful, calm and uber comfortable empowered person at a time. I think it's a tremendous plan. And, I think he gets that. And I KNOW, for once, he gets the brand. So, already I'm ahead of this draining game.
Okay, so, all my way of saying that once I hung the line with him today, I was jazzed and re-energized about this endeavor… again. Enthused… again. Dare I say it? INSPIRED… again! An agenda that has sucked the life and the money out of me for almost as long as this business has been open….NOW has another complexion and I am en-courage-d and all in….again.
And, sometimes, that's all it takes to find the fire and the passion again. Sometimes, all anyone needs is a little inspiration and a little hand holding and a little cheerleading so that they can go ahead and make a dream come to life.
Just in case you might be looking for that particular power to come to and through you:
(Invoke the intercession of this angel THREE times by using those same words first, and, then):
I am a witness
to God's miracle
every instant of every day
This is prayer from J Cornugs ORIGINAL TRIBE that purports and promises special attention from Xexor. She says that Angel Xexor is your ally in your cause and that when this angel is invoked in prayer he brings magic to your wish (MY kind of angel!) She further states that when you invoke him you MUST BE SPECIFIC (gee, where have we heard that before???) because you WILL get what you ask for.
Sounds just like what I told you about Guanshiyin the other day. Saying that compassionate Buddha's name all day alongside your wish will make that wish come true as well.
What are you waiting for? What do you want? Agents of change all around. Except, as you know, here!

I made those peanut butter ones (without banana) and my dog LOVES them. I even used the same cookies cutter
What about kitteh treats?!
@ebarrett3 Re-Nest has a recipe for Tuna Tidbits.
@ebarrett3 Re-Nest has a recipe for Tuna Tidbits.
I've made the ones from Gourmet magazine twice now, and they were a hit with all of the dogs (and people) who tried them. Definitely great, and a fantastic, easy, cheap Christmas gift!
I made these pumpkin dog biscuits for all of my dog-owning friends last year.
I just made cheesy dog cookies. They turned out great for both our dog and us... http://www.justgetfloury.com/?p=1548
Yes, kittie treats would be cute too! :) But will check out the tuna tidbits recipe.
Cat treats are trickier IMO since cats are carnivorous animals and non-meat products should be avoided as much as possible. There are less restrictions when making treats for omnivorous dogs. :)
Me and my Fiance make the Fois Gras ones from Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery Cookbook. It's the ONLY homemade one the little brat has actually enjoyed.
Also I checked some of the recipes, and they were *not* healthy dog treats. So thread carefully if you chose to make them and read the reviews and comments. AP flour and corn meal don't have their place is dog tummies.
In a country where PETA was founded and pet is supposed to be "the companion" of the human, I find very ludicrous how we constantly try to feed carnivores carbohydrates and other human food and declare them healthy. Dogs are opportunistic carnivores. They will feed on carbohydrates when there is no other options, but dogs does not need carb and it's actually detrimental for its health. If you compare dog's digestive track, teeth, and its stomach enzymes to the herbivore's ones or even omnivore's ones, they are vastly different. No wonder in this country dogs and cats have myriads of health problems that are not found in other country's pets just like humans. Not only we have propagated wrong nutritional decision to ourselves, we have done the same to the innocent animals who depend on us.
If you really want some nice treat for your pet, get some lean meat like chicken breast and dry them in your oven. You don't need this "fancy" recipe with all these ingredients.
Also, if you are feeding your pets dry dog foods per your vet's recommendation, think again. Practically all the researches done on dry dog foods were sponsored by massive dog food corporations including P&G. Would you feed your baby and yourself some dried food formulated by a massive for-profit corporation every day for your entire life even if it's nutritionally "balanced?" You wouldn't, right? Imagine feeding your kid a nutritionally complete cereal made by Kellogg every day in their lives. You find it ridiculous right? Well, that's what you are doing to your pets. If you truly love your pets, we have to learn more about them rather than just follow some propaganda written by a massive for-profit corporation.
I agree with the poster above me. Dogs don't need to eat grain. It's not healthy for them at all. Since we took our dogs off grains, they've lost a bit of weight, their coats have been shinier, eyes clearer, and energy boosted. Not mention that they don't have that funky grain-line foot smell anymore.
I do still feed my dogs a dried food, but it's grain and potato free.
You can give your cat homemade treats of plain cooked chicken or turkey :) I gently poach chicken breast in plain water until just cooked. Then I cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and feed to my cats. Extras can be frozen along with the cooking water (it turns into broth) and used later. Raw chicken and turkey can also be fed. Some cats like small chunks of raw meat.
I also agree with what Iridium said.
Wonderful comment, Iridium. Fresh meat (especially organ meats) have always been my go-to for cat treats, and my parents' dogs always seem to love them as well. I don't understand this whole baked-goods-for-dogs fad.
Here's the deal.
This site is not about the day in and day our feeding of our pets. This site is about the occasional TREAT for pets.
The Christmas season is upon us. I fully intend, as I have done the last 15 years, to bake doggie and kitty Christmas cookies which contain carbs / grains - for both my pets as well as for friends and family's pets.
For the record. Life is about balance. It's not about extremes.
My 2 pets, 2 labs are fed a homemade holistic - grain starch carb free diet twice daily......
So, unless you have concrete evidence that 3 or 10 of these cookies over the holiday's is going to 'do my dogs in' kinda like what happened to the chicken at the slaughter house (the one I fed to my dogs tonight).....lighten up!
So, No. I will not be putting ribbons on chicken breast's nor bows on balls of hamburger and giving them as gifts this season.
I'm with ya, Kim G.
Also, does anyone know how long these will keep? I made the kitchn homemade doggie treat recipe with bacon fat to give as gifts. I will keep them in the fridge for good measure, but I might not be giving some of them away for a couple weeks yet. Will they be ok?
I have four dog,they enjoyed the peanutbutter and bacon cookies. I feed my dogs what I like to eat sometimes. Nothan wrong with cooking your dog hamburger meat or some rice and pasta once in a while. Dogs dont live very long an they want to enjoy the taste of food too. My dogs are very healthy an lean. My dog will be having their own ham just as they do every year. Merry Christmas everyone. I enjoy the recipes
well said Kim G, I never understand why if these people are so against this then why would they come on a site to look up a recipe unless they have nothing better to do with there time. My 4 yorkies love all the treats I make a little bit of something nice never hurts they are called treats for a reason
I always try to prepare my precious Sally homemade food, and she loves them. These recipes look perfect. Especially I like Homemade Flax Seed Dog Biscuits. I will absolutely make this one to my precious. I don't understand some people. We all know what should dogs eat, but people are so lazy to prepare something good for their dogs. I think it is very important to feed them healthy food. Thank you for these perfect recipes again.
The Bachelor Dog Treats from Sherry Yard do not work AT ALL. I bake all the time and I thought the recipe sounded a little goofy. Dry ingredients are usually measured in cup measurements. It was just a liquid mess and I added way more of the flours. I hate to give up, but these are a big waste.
first off minna even though you may bake all the time, Sherry is a professional executive pastry chef. In that really world of professional baking "all recipes", the ingredients are weighed are weighed.. it is more exacting than just a cup of this or that . why? because even though a cup measure may be 8 oz. different products are different weights so a cup of powdered sugar & a cup of say wheat flour may both be 8 oz. you would be getting more sugar than needed for a recipe., that may only require 6oz. instead of a whole 8oz. . its about the math in the recipe .... that is how chef can create a recipe for 3,ooo cookies or decrease to only 4 . and the cookies all taste the same. its the math that makes the difference and its more accurate to measure by weigh. If you follow the recipe it comes out great!!! As a Le Cordon Bleu student of culinary arts. (specializing in Baking and Patisserie," advanced French pastry") we have an entire 6 week segment on the math for weights & measure. you will find newer cookbooks using weighs . invest in a scale from on line and learn the conversions. dry & liquid have different weights as well. you will be sirprised how easy you can convert any recipe. and it will be great every time.

The Cleveland Browns rookies have already reported to training camp, but there was also a second-year player that made the trip to Berea, Ohio. Often-injured running back Trent Richardston reported with the rookies to camp and he has been practicing fully since then, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Knee and rib injuries slowed Richardson down last season and they have also limited him during the minicamps and OTAs, but Richardson's main goal had always been focusing on being 100 percent for the start of training camp and now that it is here he is out on the field doing work.
The Browns are depending on Richardson to be the workhorse back this coming season, so for him to be going full force at the beginning of camp is a positive sign.
Cleveland plans to run a vertical passing offense in 2013, but it will be crucial to have a rushing game to compliment the passing attack. If Richardson is able to go all out without being affected by injuries in his sophomore season, the team's offense could go to new heights.

Hmmm.. seems CA have got a lot of work do to on their unit stats, those romans were like space marines or terminators or something, their morale was the same throughout and those flaming balls should have really lowered that down what with archers raining fire down and hits from both sides as the AI should have done. Hope Rome 2 isn't actually as error prone as Empire TW and my PC can actually run this.

No Marlin for us, but a nice Mahimahi by New Zealands standards! Conditions were a little choppy but the crew keen on one of New Zealands monstor striped marlin were at least rewarded with this nice Mahimahi.

1 Phd Position In �Role Of Micrornas In Endothelial- And Smc-Function�
1 PhD Position in �Role of microRNAs in Endothelial- and SMC-Function�
Job Offer Details
Job Description
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) comprise a novel class of endogenous, small, noncoding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression via degradation or translational inhibition of their target mRNAs.
Accumulating evidence emerges that the deregulation of miRNA synthesis and expression often comprises an initial step in disease development. However, the role of impaired miRNA processing during the development of vascular diseases like atherosclerosis or post-angioplasty restenosis has not been investigated so far and may offer an interesting approach for the prevention or treatment of these diseases. The current project is aimed to first characterize differentially regulated miRNAs in different in vivomodels of vascular diseases. By knock down or overexpression studies their impact on EC or SMC function (proliferation, migration, apoptosis, differentiation) will be assessed in vitro. Microarray analysis and proteomic screenings combined with in silico analysis will be utilized to identify target mRNAs which will be further validated by luciferase assays and characterized for their impact on the observed cellular function. Additionally, the regulatory mechanisms of the expression of these miRNAs will be further evaluated by identifying the responsible stimuli and upstream signaling cascades. Further in vivo experiments, in which selected miRNAs will be overexpressed or knocked down will reveal their impact on the development of vascular diseases and therefore their potential for therapeutic interventions.

As his HBO show Real Time begins its twelfth season with higher ratings than ever—4.1 million viewers, high for a premium-cable talk show—the iconoclastic comedian and political commentator Bill Maher spoke to The Atlantic about why he likes doing comedy shows in red states, how his show is different from Jon Stewart's, why the God of the Old Testament is "the most psychopathic character in fiction," and why he believes most opposition to President Obama is racist.
Let me start by asking the question you're probably most sick of answering, so we can get it out of the way. The infamous episode of your ABC show Politically Incorrect, on September 17, 2001—
The tragic events of 9/17?
Yes, The tragic events of 9/17. [Ed. note: Maher said, in response to President George W. Bush's comment that the 9/11 hijackers were cowards, "We have been the cowards. Lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building. Say what you want about it. Not cowardly." Advertisers withdrew and the show was cancelled a few months later.] You've said the aftermath of that was the most traumatic period of your life. So I'm curious, what has it been like moving over to HBO, where there are no advertisers? And, second, why does everyone forget that when you made your remarks, you were just agreeing with a guest, Dinesh D'Souza?
Yeah, I had Dinesh on our show last season, and brought that up to him. You know, I was just agreeing with what he said. I was concurring, as a good host does, you know? And maybe extrapolating a little. But yeah, I could have used a little cover from Mr. D'Souza.
Are you tired of talking about the events of 9/17?
It's now been 13 years. Do you feel like HBO has your back in a way that ABC did not?
Absolutely. They always have. And, of course, let's be honest, it's easier for them to have my back because they don't have to deal with advertisers. You know, I was never mad at ABC for firing me. I totally understood that I was on a broadcast medium that depends on advertisers, and if the advertisers pull out there's really not much you can do. I was only pissed at them because they lied about it. They said we lost our audience and we never did! We always had good ratings, and we retained good ratings, and very high retention ratings from Nightline. It took a long time for Jimmy Kimmel to come up to the ratings that we used to get in that timeslot. So, that was the only thing that pissed me off about it.
You're a comedian. But Real Time is somewhere between a pure comedy show and, say, Morning Joe. When you sit down to write your show, are you thinking that your job is to generate laughs, or are you trying to convey a perspective on the news? It's been observed that many young people now get their news from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Who's your intended audience, and what are you trying to communicate to them?
Part of it is what you just attributed to those other two shows. You said people get their news from those two shows, but I'm guessing at least as many people watch my show. So, I think I'm trying to do the same thing. Give people news. The main thing I'm thinking of, because we are after all a weekly wrap-up show, is I'm doing this show for people who are interested in the news, but don't have time to follow it like I do. They have lives. They have kids. They have jobs. They can't read the paper every day. So, Friday night at 10 o'clock when they sit down in front of the television set, I want them to be able to feel as they watch it—an hour of Real Time—in one section of the show, either the monologue, in the New Rules, in the panel, in one of the one-on-one interviews—I want them to feel like every important issue, or at least what I feel is important, that happened that week got in some way mentioned. And then, of course, I do want to make it as entertaining as possible. And we have enough prewritten stuff that I know there's always going to be laughs throughout the show. And the panel is lively too, but the panel, you know I have no control over what three other people say, or how amusing they're going to be.
How do you view Stewart and Colbert? Do you see what you're doing as kind of comparable to what they're doing? Or are you doing something different?
I'm more comparable to them than to, say, Dancing With the Stars. But I see vast differences. I don't think we're as predictable. I will disagree with my liberal audience. I will challenge them. Sometimes I'll even yell at them. I'm real about it. I treat the audience like real friends, and sometimes we argue. And sometimes they need to be educated about something. Sometimes liberals can be in a bubble too. And, you know, there's just a host of issues that I think our show and the old show has been out front on, that are more and more becoming mainstream. Things like atheism and marijuana legalization—but not just those—that I've been talking about for years; somehow things get into the mainstream after somebody has been pounding away on it for a long time. And then they just seem normal.
You famously gave a million dollars of your own money to the pro-Obama super PAC. From the perspective of where we are now, do you feel that was money well spent?
If you look at what the alternative universe would be under a Mitt Romney presidency, I think it's money very well spent. There's not an issue I can think of where Mitt Romney would be better. And I can only imagine what sort of cavalcade of nutcases would have followed him into Washington. Because he basically promised his soul to those hard-right groups that control the party now. And Mitt Romney never has had much of a backbone. So I'm very happy with that, because I did some research on it and it seemed to make a difference. At least that's what the people who run the PACs—like Paul Begala—have told me. Until we had that little bit of publicity, the big-money people on the left were kind of sitting on their hands. I got scared at that point, because I remember talking to a lot of liberal people who were saying Obama's reelection is in the bag. And I said, you know you don't get outside of your circle of people. Out there in America, it's not in the bag! Not in the bag at all.
How would you characterize yourself politically?

Red Wine May Make Meat Healthier
June 27, 2008 -- Having a meaty meal? Drinking a little red wine may make it healthier, thanks to compounds in red wine, an Israeli study shows.
The researchers cooked turkey thighs and then ground them up for the study. They fed the ground turkey to rats, with or without red wine that had been stripped of its alcohol.

When the rats finished eating, the researchers analyzed the rats' stomach and blood chemistry.
The rats that had eaten the turkey meat without the wine had high levels of chemicals that promote oxidation, which has been linked to cancer, atherosclerosis, and other serious diseases, the study states.
But the rats that got the turkey meat and the red wine had less of those oxidation chemicals in their stomach and blood after their meal.
Chalk that up to antioxidants called polyphenols in red wine, say the researchers, who included Shlomit Gorelik, MSc, of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Red wine's antioxidants balanced out the turkey meat's oxidants, and the stomach was the "bioreactor" where that balancing act took place, Gorelik's team reports.
Red wine isn't the only way to get polyphenols. Good sources also include onions, apples, tea, red grapes, grape juice, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, and certain nuts, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"Diets high in fat and red meat are contributory risk factors, whereas the consumption of polyphenol-rich fruits, vegetables, and their derived beverages during the meal seems to reduce these risk factors and provide important protective benefits for human health," the researchers write in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
The researchers say their findings are in line with other research in people. But they didn't follow the rats to see if drinking red wine led to better health or longer lives.

PADUCAH, Ky. (AP) — A GOP rival has continued taking potshots at Bowling Green eye surgeon Rand Paul in the U.S. Senate race, accusing him of taking the "Potomac two-step" on the abortion issue.
Secretary of State Trey Grayson questioned Saturday whether Paul really is opposed to abortion. Paul accused Grayson of lying about his positions, adding that he would support any legislation to stop abortion.
The attacks may have sent a strong signal to a crowd of more than 200 at a Paducah high school that Paul, who few people had heard of a year ago, has become the Republican to beat in Kentucky's Senate race.
University of Louisville political scientist Laurie Rhodebeck says the escalating verbal attacks in recent weeks leaves little doubt that Paul is the front-runner.
