The young heartthrob, who gained fame as Rocco in the Mexican soap opera Rebelde, got to sing and dance opposite Julianne Hough in 2012's Rock of Ages. And though he's only 23, he's smart enough to know the way to a woman's heart. "For Julianne's birthday [during filming], I was wondering what to get her," he explained on collider.com. "I decided to sing Las Mañanitas, which is Happy Birthday in Spanish, while playing guitar." Awwww.

Black Cat
A ghost, though invisible, still is like a place your sight can knock on, echoing; but here within this thick black pelt, your strongest gaze will be absorbed and utterly disappear:
just as a raving madman, when nothing else can ease him, charges into his dark night howling, pounds on the padded wall, and feels the rage being taken in and pacified.
She seems to hide all looks that have ever fallen into her, so that, like an audience, she can look them over, menacing and sullen, and curl up to sleep with them. But all at once
as if awakened, she turns her face to yours; and with a shock, you see yourself, tiny, inside the golden amber of her eyeballs suspended, like a prehistoric fly.
—Rainer Maria Rilke, from The Rose Window and Other Verse from New Poems (Bulfinch Press, 1997)

Use Private Browsing in Firefox, IE and Chrome
Are you trying to increase the privacy of your browsing on Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome? Private browsing is important to many of you. You don't want your browser to remember sites you have recently visited, and user names or passwords. We're going to show you how to go incognito using your favorite web browser.
Now Firefox has a Private Browsing Feature Too
If you use the Firefox web browser, the latest released edition, Firefox 3.5 now has a Private Browsing option. Here is how to turn on the Private Browsing Mode in Firefox 3.5:
- From Tools in the Firefox menu bar, choose the option Start Private Browsing. A popup menu will ask you if you definitely want to start the Private Browsing. Go ahead and click on Start Private Browsing to continue.
To be certain that you are Private Browsing, Firefox will show Private Browsing behind the title of the page you are on. These are some of the things that Firefox will not remember:
Search Bar and Form entries
Visited web pages
Download List entries
Cached files
Activate Private Browsing in Firefox or IE
If you are a fan of Internet Explorer, there is also a way to go under the radar and private browse here too. To hide what you're searching for from roaming eyes, Internet Explorer's "private browsing" mode is the perfect way to go. The good thing is, you can use the same shortcuts for Firefox, as long as it's your default browser.
To start the Private Browsing, you can use the Ctrl+Shift+P shortcut key.
Alternatively , You can go to the menu bar and click Safety > InPrivate Browsing in IE.
Right away, you'll be in the private browsing window. This mode will leave not one trace of the browsing you've been doing, similar to the description of those from Firefox. How useful!
If you are checking your email from another person's computer, private browsing is quite useful. Left over cookies to let someone back into your email is no longer. Private browsing eliminates this problem. So it's useful to go into private browsing mode if you're not on your own PC.
Windows 7 Makes it Easy
Windows 7 has made it a snap to go into the private browsing mode. By right clicking the icon from the taskbar and choosing the InPrivate option, you've easily accomplished the task.
Incognito in Chrome
Let's see if it's just as easy to go into the private browsing mode using the Chrome web browser. Chrome uses the term incognito to private brows. Let's see how to get it to work. To open an incognito or private browsing session in Chrome, you can choose one of two options:
Option 1 is to use the shortcut Control+Shift+N and you'll be surfing incognito
Option 2 is to select the Open New incognito window from the Chrome menu.
So whether you're using Internet Explorer, Chrome, or the Firefox web browser, and need to brows privately, it's not so hard to do. By following these steps for each browser, you'll be surfing the web incognito in no time. You can see the usefulness in using the private browser option, especially if you're at a friend's house or a public computer.

Analysis: Movie violence out of control?
Orvon Grover Autry (September 29, 1907 – October 2, 1998), better known as Gene Autry, was an American performer who gained fame as The Singing Cowboy on the radio, in movies and on television for more than three decades beginning in the 1930s. Autry was also owner of the Los Angeles/California Angels Major League Baseball team from 1961 to 1997, a television station and several radio stations in Southern California.
Although his signature song was "Back in the Saddle Again," Autry is best known today for his Christmas holiday songs, "Here Comes Santa Claus" (which he wrote), "Frosty the Snowman," and his biggest hit, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."
He is a member of both the Country Music and Nashville Songwriters halls of fame, and is the only celebrity to have five stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

ID Certify enables companies and their senior management to easily automate and authenticate user access rights across the enterprise. It requires that managers at each level check in regularly on the access rights of their staff. No manager can sign in until the managers below them have signed off and this works up the organizational chart until the final signoff is made by the CEO or CFO. In addition, the ID Certify software enhances network security by identifying and removing all orphan and dormant accounts and results in a completely clean set of user access and privileges data in existing authentication, authorization and audit (AAA) systems. For more information, visit www.mtechit.com.

This book is a study of the relationship language and visual language.
Visual language has no formal syntax or semantics, but the visual objects themselves can be classified. It deals with the relations between word and image generated from the internet by examing images relating to a specific word or sentence.
It describes patterns and processes before and after and is a reflection of the interaction between the verbal and visual.
It is an attempt to map parts of our common understanding of language by studying the predetermined associations on the internet.

HIGH POINT, N.C., June 11, 2014 – What if career-altering injuries like a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or stress fractures could be identified and stopped before sidelining star athletes? High Point University's Dr. Eric Hegedus, professor and chair of the Department of Physical Therapy, recently gave a presentation on the topic of injury screening and prevention at the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association annual national conference in Salt Lake City.
In his presentation, Hegedus explained how physical performance tests, like hop and agility tests, could be used during pre-season practice sessions to screen athletes for injuries before they happen.
"In other words, if these tests can predict an increased injury in athletes, then the next step would be to use strengthening, motor learning and conditioning to prevent those injuries from happening," he says.
The research included in Hegedus' presentation came from his work with students, physical therapy, exercise science and athletic training faculty, athletic trainers, strength and conditioning coaches, team coaches and athletes at HPU.

It is official. The time of the greatest show on turf has ended. The show went from prime time with Super Bowl tickets in beginning of the century to a solid spot in the postseason a few years later to cancellation without hope of much more than a number one pick now. The Rams cannot run, they cannot pass, and they cannot defend. End the charade and trade away the expensive contracts of Bulger, Holt, and Jackson. It is not worth keeping these guys if the are not given the chance to put up Pro Bowl numbers.
That is right. They are not given the chance. The line is awful and the offensive coordination is juts as bad. It is time to arrange a fire sale for draft picks. As each NFL season has come to pass it has become more and more obvious that free agency is holding less and less talent, so the only way to rebuild is through the draft.
This team and the fans need to accept that the next few seasons at Edward Jones Dome are going to be painful to watch. It is time for the Rams to try and get as many picks in the first three rounds as possible. We need more Chris Long picks, more young players coming in to be the new face of the franchise. If anyone thinks the defense just needs some tweaking, they have not been watching. Replace the whole crew on both sides.
The first step to making Rams tickets bearable again is to rebuild the line. Jacob Bell is the only young guy with talent that is starting. Orlando Pace is getting older and is being forced to play in an impossible situation. Let him go, maybe get something in return for him, but let him go to someplace where every Sunday does not carry the dread that the Rams have brought on. Go into the next draft and pick up a the new tackles, guards, and centers needed to let the quarterback stand in the pocket and the running back find holes to run through.
Maybe Jackson should not go, but he does the franchise no good averaging three yards a carry. He is much better than that and is probably only getting more than two yards because he is so good. Any quarterback the Rams get will be unable to perform until that line is fixed and any talented receiver will be running meaningless routes as the current quarterback is pressured into submission.
The time has come to start over and look to the future instead of holding onto the past and letting the club deteriorate before everyone's eyes.

Film Review: Terrible Meal (1995) – CAT III
SYNOPSIS: Food Fetish Vomiting and Hardcore exchange REVIEW: Tracking this movie down has been somewhat of a challenge. Though in that same statement, it is probably for the better as far as most are concerned. This film goes beyond the CAT III boundaries by jumping straight into some truly sick perverse hard to watch material. If you have read our review on Squirmfest, then you already have an idea what this film focuses on. Now … Continue reading

As the cold weather continues to swoop in you may be wondering what to do with your kids to keep them from sitting in front of the TV all day or playing that video game. Well, we may have an idea for you, roller skating.
The month of October is National Roller Skating Month. Interesting enough, President Reagan declared October National Roller Skating Month back in 1983.
While skate parks are scarce around the nation, there are several around Michiana. One of them is USA Skate Center in Mishawaka.
USA Skate Center was built in 1975 and has been in the same family for 38 years and plans to stay in business, which is good because roller skating is a fun, inexpensive way to hang out with the family or friends.
"Monday nights of course is our dollar night from 6 to 8 p.m. where admission is a dollar, skates are a dollar. We have dollar hot dogs, dollar slice of pizza, dollar small sodas dollar snow cones and dollar popcorn," explains operating manager Mike Snowden.
It's not just Monday that has great deals. They have ladies night on Wednesday and a family fun pack on Sunday.
For those prices check out the USA Skate Center website

Interesting fact… Mortlach 14 Year Old 1997 - Dimensions (Duncan Taylor) whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Mortlach 14 Year Old 1997 - Dimensions (Duncan Taylor) whiskey, instead of whisky.
Nose: Balanced, inviting nose with just a soupcon, nay, a smidgeon of sweet smoke. Also present are hints of pine resin, caramel, orange zest and walnut.
Palate: Rubbery and rounded, with notes of fresh flowers and parmaviolets, candyfloss and toffee apples. Sweet and rich.
Finish: Good length with little zinging notes of spice on the tail.

Song For Bobby Smith Lyrics - Gil Scott-Heron
I know a young warrior named Bobby Smith
He's gonna be 4 years old on his next birthday
He happened to be with Brian and I when we wrote this song
It's about new life and new spirit, new feelings
We asked Bobby, "Bobby, what should we call this song?"
And he said, "Oh that's pretty, that's my song."
That was very appropriate, this song for new life should be about Bobby
This is 'A Song for Bobby Smith'
Ain't you been there?
Ain't you goin?
Can't you taste your ideas growin?
We are soldiers
Soldiers of a new day
Can't you see it?
sponsored linksCan't you feel it in your heart?
Ain't you been there and ain't you goin
To a place where friendship's flowin?
We are brothers
Brothers and sisters in spirit
Can't you see it?
Yeah, can't you feel it in your heart?
Ain't you been there?
Ain't you goin?
Can't you take this love I'm showin?
Got to be you and me
You and me together
Can't you see it?
Can't you feel it in your heart?

Second Thoughts (561 comments)

Any recommendations? Thanks. Nancy I got a copy of Easy Cross from Fulford Software Solutions in the UK, and I'm completely sold on it. It has a good selection of embroidery stitches in the basic program, and there are "modules" that can also add a quantity of needlepoint stitches, blackwork stitches, and lace patterns. It's a bit more than Pattern Maker is, but has lots more "bells and whistles." Their website is http://www.easycross.co.uk They have a good demo available that gives you full access to all the stitches; you simply can't save or print anything.

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday condo in Centro Storico (Old Rome)
Bedrooms 2, Bathrooms 1, Sleeps 4
Da Leone 's hip designer furnishings and clean lines are a bright surprise within one of Rome's old palaces in the heart of the Historic Centre, " Il Centro Storico" of Rome. Leave your door and enter into the beautiful and chic Piazza San Lorenzo in Lucina, one of Rome's historic Piazzas, and just a short walk to the Spanish Steps (yet your apartment is peaceful). You will be walking distances to all the major sites, plus Via Condotti shopping, great restaurants, gelaterias, cafes, bars and intimate trattorias. A wonderful outdoor market is an easy walk away for daily shopping of the freshest fruits and vegetables imaginable. The apartment is quiet, has all the mod cons, including ADSL, microwave, automatic espresso machine, clothes washer and dishwasher, plus a portiere and an elevator.
Live a real Rome experience. Just off the Piazza Lucina on the first floor of this 17th century Palazzo is this spacious and elegant 110 sq.mt. two bedroom apartment with living room, plus separate kitchen with dining area seating 4. Large double-glazed windows provide both silence and plenty of light. A beautiful new bathroom with roman tiles, and bright modern kitchen complete the picture. Modern furnishings create tranquil surroundings. A short walk to Spanish Steps, shopping, museums, and Metro stop makes it an ideal location. You will love this tastefully restored apartment in a modern idiom "a la Philippe Starck".
It is approximately a 5 minutes walk from "Spagna" Metro station (at "Piazza di Spagna", line A). 7 minutes walk to Piazza Navona, the Pantheon and a 12 minutes walk to the Vatican.
- Suitability:
- pets not allowed
Guestbook comments from the manager
Da Leone - an absolutely fantastic choice of apartment for our group of 4 adults. We had a real Home from Home stay. Very comfortable and quiet, considering its very central location. Our parents had the best sleep ever! The location was absolutely perfect for all that we wanted to see and do, in fact we couldn't have been in a better place! The Spanish Steps/Trevi/Pantheon/Piazza Navona are all within a very short distance of the apartment and even the Colosseum and Vatican are a reasonably short pleasant walk away. The square/piazza right next to the apartment was fantastic, we would thoroughly recommend Bar Vitti for food/wine and pastries. The staff and management were awesome and so friendly. We actually ate there every night...didn't see the need to go elsewhere! There is also a Shopping Paradise (supermarket) just a street behind and this was so handy. It meant that we were able to "breakfast" and "lunch" in which helped to save a few euros here and there. Loved it...can't wait to stay again!!

One week after making history as the first woman to hold the RCW Championship as Alissa Flash, Cheerleader Melissa has been stripped of the belt.
In a video posted online (see below), RCW's commissioner, Jeromy Sage announces that the contract for the title match stipulated that the length was supposed to be 15 minutes, but the match was 15 and a half minutes long. Therefore, Melissa's title win is null.
Watch below:
Stupid booking is no limited to WWE or TNA, apparently.
Additional reporting by Shanti.
when i heard she won it, the first thing i thought was publicity stunt. i guess this just confirms that.
Why is everything in wrestling so stupid lately?
I don't know the circumstances fo this happening ,but if it's what I think it is then I must say that i'm very disappointed. Y'all know I'm a huge Melissa fan so to see her get a huge achievement added to her resume, only to get stripped a week later, really really sucks. She's such a great wrestler and person.
is RCW Real Championship Wrestling? it's just i was on their Wikipedia (yes i know it's user made info) & it doesnt recognize the Womens Title.. anyways how dumb is that stripping her because the match was 30 seconds longer than supposed to be!
i agree Melanie.. looks like stupid booking skills don't just apply to WWE & TNA, i think Victory Road is an example of that bad skill
You said it Mel. I am, of course, a huge indie fan but decisions like this separate the greats from the rest. RCW has done a thing or two I disliked in the past but I had started to come around on them with Melissa's title win. But, just like the bad booker's in WWE and TNA, they apparently haven't really learned anything.
@lookitsria Everything in wrestling isn't stupid. ACW's Queen of Queens show was unambiguously awesome, as was the last Femmes Fatales. Sara Del Rey and Amazing Kong are about to continue their feud next weekend in both ROH and Chikara (with some Melissa and Haze mixed in). Then there's SHIMMER coming up in September. I hear the last WSU show was pretty good, and we can go on. Don't let the bad blind you to all the awesome that's out there.
actually nvm.. i thought she was the Womens Champion.. but she isnt & i now know it's actually River City Wrestling (should have watched the vid before commenting) xP
Wow. Just freaking wow.
Sounds like a way to compromise the credibility of performers and reflect badly on the promotion itself. Why do bookers go down that road seemingly quite often? Makes no sense.
Well, fuck that.
SMH. Melissa earned that title, this is crap. Absolute crap.
i wonder if this was the plan from the get-go? that melissa knew this would be the outcome, or if perhaps they just decided upon it a few days or so ago due to some other reason? as much as we love the women, there surely would've been some discomfort from the hardcore men's wrestling fans who folow the federation, even wrestlers in the company?
Bush league move from a little bush league promotion. Melissa is one of the best workers out there today, male or female, and I hate to see her robbed of what was a pretty cool accomplishment because of small minds and narrow viewpoints.
"as much as we love the women, there surely would've been some discomfort from the hardcore men's wrestling fans who folow the federation, even wrestlers in the company?"
I actually called into DDlive last week voicing this as a concern.
Politics ONCE AGAIN! Looks like this RCW is fitting in very nicely with WWE and TNA when it comes to these decisions.
"I actually called into DDlive last week voicing this as a concern."
and it's a concern i can understand. we wouldn't like it if, say, santino became diva's champion or if cody deaner was properly seen as knockouts champion. unfortunately stripping melissa of the belt seems the right thing to do.. that is if there was any animosity within their fanbase/employess, of course.
@Kaledrina: The concerns you raised don't exist. The fans were fully behind this, as can be easily seen in the video. The male wrestlers are trying to get some of Melissa's heat to rub off on them, as can also be seen in the video. There aren't hardcore misogynists attending indie wrestling shows headlined by women (she already beat this guy before). If any of these concerns were real, they would't have given her the title in the first place.
This is just bad booking like every other bit of bad booking you've seen.
Unlike her's TNA run, at least she is getting a push.
Kaledrina is completely right, this was a publicity stunt. I can however guess that Melissa will get a rematch, win again and then lose it cleanly about a month later, or we can at least hope so!
"Kaledrina is completely right, this was a publicity stunt. I can however guess that Melissa will get a rematch, win again and then lose it cleanly about a month later, or we can at least hope so!"
Why would she want to go back down there and wrestle for them after they used her as a pawn basically? People can say that she knew about it but personally I don't think she did because I would think she would have gotten something out of it like, having her reign be recognized. It's as if this match never even happened. They even took erased it from the title history section of their website.
"Unlike her's TNA run, at least she is getting a push."
I'd take her TNA run over this crap any day.
That's the dumbest reason to strip a person of a title ever, EVER! This would seem like a WWE offense. i am so pissed right now!
From RCW Twitter:
"Commissioner Jeromy Sage wants to inform the RCW fans that ALISSA FLASH will be issuing a video statement after conferring with her attorney"
JohyHype was right. This was just boo boo booking.
what a Douche move
UMMM, you guys have heard of a storyline or a feud right????????
You act like you havent seen wrestling before..
I am pretty sure there is something coming out of this..
OMG Jeromy Sage was my old homeroom teacher when i was a freshmen in high school.! lol Mr.Odam!!
LOL at the 1st comments freaking out…

Unconventional Wisdom
But, from the BBC: "Jordan Levin, entertainment president of Warner Brothers, said the mood at the network was "approaching a level of giddiness" after excellent ratings [for several new 'reality' shows]"
Consider the following partial list of unbelievably successful reality shows on TV:
Amazing Race
American Idol
Fear Factor
Last Comic Standing
Simple Life
From the perspective of the networks, these programs are excellent. They cost almost nothing to produce, because common folk line up for the chance to be humiliated, mocked, or horribly patronized.
Why do we watch them? Consider the wisdom of Skye Lutz-Carrillo, son of the Texas farm family where part of Simple Life II was filmed. After meeting Paris Hilton and Nicole Richey, he captured the whole nuthouse in a nutshell: "They're a little ditzy maybe, but I wouldn't be opposed to making out with them."
All of these shows are a little ditzy. But there we are, making out with our TV screen, leaving the blessed "off" switch on the remote untouched. People feel involved. It is precisely because Everyman, and Everywoman, is up there on the screen that we watch. The shows that actually allow audience participation are among the most successful.
Political conventions are boring. They are also dying. The networks will give each party only three hours, total, of programming time for each convention. Now, you could watch the things on C-SPAN. You could also give up donuts and swim a mile every day. What could the parties do?
You have to realize that the parties are absolute ho's for free media, in nearly every other setting. The reason incumbents are so difficult to unseat is that they have so many free media opportunities, events where they get coverage simply by virtue of doing some part of their jobs. And of course you can make stuff up. If the local Representative appears at the ribbon-cutting for the new school, there will be a picture in the paper. This is true even if the Represenative voted against the bill authorizing the money for the building.
One could imagine, in fact, that an incumbent President could land on a carrier deck, wearing a flight suit, and address a huge number of sailors in front a "We Won!" sign. The media would cover this like a reality show, and everyone would win: Prez gets great coverage, media gets interesting and entertaining footage, and the voters get to think, "He's kind of ditzy, but I wouldn't be opposed to making out with him." Now, of course, this could never actually HAPPEN, I'm just making up an unlikely scenario.
Why do parties have this blind spot when it comes to conventions, then? The greatest free media opportunity you could imagine, and all the parties do is try to see who can be the most boring, and the most "inclusive". All they mean by inclusive, of course, is "Ethnicity / Gender/Job Bingo": "Oh, a black lesbian metalworker! All I need now is a male Native American architect and I win!"
In an earlier entry, I claimed that the conventions have traditionally had three functions:
1. Choose the nominee
2. Choose the platform
3. Get all the activists pumped, and give them a chance to display the worst color / fabric combinations the world has ever seen.
The problem is that conventions today are ONLY about #3. Nominees are chosen by primaries, and platforms (such as they are) are selected by focus groups and consultants.
So...TIME FOR A REALITY SHOW!
The most obvious would be "Queer Eye for the Politicii", to fix those fashion gaffes. That would actually work, now that I think of it: have some REALLY bitchy guys just critique the outfits on the floor of the convention. I'd watch, for sure.
But a more substantive suggestion would be to bring back #2: platform selection. Let the convention delegates, and the folks at home, vote on platform planks. You could have debates, and decide which issues win. You could have a feature called "THE DOOR": as soon as more than 50% of the people calling in said they hated the speech, the speaker would fall through a trap door into a padded room full of cockroaches and grub worms. You could have a camera down there, so that you could watch on a split screen: blabbermouth gets the cockroaches, great speaker gets more time.
An idea whose time has come: a reality show called "THE CONVENTION"
In a recent article, James O'Toole of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette uncovered this nugget of a quote, where economist John Kenneth Galbraith composed a requiem for political conventions:
"These vast ceremonials are now a bloated corpse. ... A semblance of life is breathed into the corpse by delegates who, having been elected or selected and having traveled to the great event, wish to believe they are doing something. In this wish they are abetted by the press, which is enjoying an expense-paid reunion and a carnival untaxing to the mind. ..."

I have to post anonymously because I don't feel like signing up for an account. What a pain; I just want comment, not jump thru a hoop. The name's Jesse, by the way. Enjoying your blog. I was turned-on to it by a link from the Duke homepage.
Your despcription of a focus group as an eye exam is hilarious. Pilgrim's egress part one is a good read. Get a friend or an editor for parts two and three; my eyes were glazing over, and after a while I didn't care anymore if there was point. But the rest is a great blog. I am learning all sorts of stuff and will make it a point to tune in often.

Oh boy a Ras-I question! I had high hopes for Ras-I coming into this year, but after a second straight year of under performance and injuries I'm not holding out much hope for anything out of him next year.
Who knows, maybe he'll surprise us all, but I'm not holding my breath. Really all three of those guys are outside corners. And I know that the Pats would like a longer, physical outside corner like Dowling and Talib to enable them to play more man-to-man, but right now the jury is out on them.
Dennard will be back, and I haven't seen enough out of Talib to make me think the Pats will break the bank to retain him. Thus I think corner will once again be an area where they'll need to add personnel this off-season, both via free agency and the draft.
Dowling will have the chance to come back and compete for a job, but I think it's a long shot to expect him to lock down a starting outside spot.

A look at Gov. Chris Christie's options as he considers whether to run for president. Also, Gov. Rick Perry's campaign faces another challenge, this one on the thorny issue of race.

Race and Republican Attacks on ObamaBy Matt Bai
Newt Gingrich did his level best to appear level in his "Meet the Press" interview Sunday, maintaining a mostly subdued, thoughtful tone except for one telling moment — when David Gregory, the host, asked him if his labeling of President Obama as the "food stamp president" might have racist connotations. "Oh, come on," the former House speaker huffed. "That's bizarre." All he meant, Mr. Gingrich went on to explain, was that Mr. Obama's policies would turn all of America into Detroit, which probably didn't endear him to Eminem.
Matt Bai's analysis and commentary.
That exchange led to some spirited discussion among me and my fellow round-table analysts, both on and off camera. The Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne accused Mr. Gingrich of "doubling down" on racial connotations by choosing Detroit to make his point. I tweeted from the green room that Mr. Gingrich's listing of American identity as a core theme of his campaign sounded "ominous" and, when asked to explain this, I said it sounded like an appeal to a "dark current in American politics."
But Peggy Noonan, the Wall Street Journal columnist, rejected this interpretation. If there were a "dark current" running through the attacks on Mr. Obama, she told us, it represented a kind of conspiratorial populism in American politics generally and had nothing to do with racism.
This is a debate that is likely to surface many more times in the next 18 months, no matter whom the Republicans nominate, and the truth seems to me a little more complex than partisans on either side might suggest. Read more…
President's Speech Especially Poignant on the King HolidayBy John Harwood
"We see all of our children" in the slain 9-year-old Christina-Taylor Green, he said. "So curious, so trusting, so energetic, so full of magic."
"I want America to be as good as she imagined it," Mr. Obama concluded. "All of us — we should do everything we can to make sure this country lives up to our children's expectations."
Those words take on special poignancy on this national holiday to commemorate the life of the Rev. Dr.
"We are not a post-racial society," said
"In fact, one could argue race relations have gotten worse," Ms. Brazile said. "We had a moment where reconciliation was possible, and took a nasty turn." Read more…
Barbour Seeks to Clarify Comments on Civil Rights EraBy Michael D. Shear
Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi sought to clarify remarks he made about his hometown during the civil rights era, calling it a "difficult and painful era," especially for African-Americans.
Mr. Barbour, a Republican, endured a day of criticism on Monday for remarks in The Weekly Standard, in which he said of the civil rights struggles of the 1960s: "I just don't remember it as being that bad."
In the interview, Mr. Barbour also praised the "Citizens Councils" of Yazoo City, saying they were made up of business leaders who did not tolerate the activities of the Ku Klux Klan.
But the comments were criticized as praise for the councils, which were founded to oppose racial integration. Read more…
Barbour's Comments Focus Attention on RaceBy Michael D. Shear
In a new interview, Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi recalls the 1960s-era civil rights struggle in his hometown of Yazoo City, saying, "I just don't remember it as being that bad."
In the profile in the Weekly Standard, Mr. Barbour also talks about the Citizens Councils of the late 1960s, which opposed racial integration. Mr. Barbour said that in his town, they were a positive force, praising them as "an organization of town leaders" who refused to tolerate the racist attitudes of the Ku Klux Klan.
"In Yazoo City they passed a resolution that said anybody who started a chapter of the Klan would get their ass run out of town," Mr. Barbour said. "If you had a job, you'd lose it. If you had a store, they'd see nobody shopped there. We didn't have a problem with the Klan in Yazoo City."
The comments come as the 62-year-old governor is actively considering a bid for the White House against the nation's first African-American president, and the governor's critics quickly seized on the remarks, raising the issue of race as a possible media narrative if Mr. Barbour decides to run for president.
Media Matters, a liberal organization, sent e-mail messages to reporters Monday urging coverage of the comments. Derrick Johnson, president of the Mississippi NAACP, told Huffington Post, "It's beyond disturbing — it's offensive that he would take that approach to the history of this state to many African-Americans who had to suffer as a result of the policies and practices of the Citizens Council."

Census Chief Apologizes for 'Negro' CategoryBy Kate Phillips
When Robert Groves, the director of the Census Bureau, appeared on C-Span's "Washington Journal" program Friday morning, he found himself having to defend the racial designations on the census form.
Video Series
Ten Minutes With Robert Groves
Jeff Zeleny of The Times interviewed the census director recently on his job, the Census Bureau and more.
A female caller posed this question: "I am black. I did not appreciate the black, the African-American, and Negro. … I do not like that…. It really hurt my feelings … that to me is racist."
Mr. Groves, who has dealt with the 'Negro' designation before, apologized once again, explaining that before the 2000 Census began, there were many older African-Americans who called themselves "Negro."
He also said he doubted that the category would still be around for the next census:
The intent of every word on the race and ethnicity questions is to be as inclusive as possible so that all of us could see a word here that rings a bell for us. […] It was not to be offensive, and again I apologize on that. My speculation is that, in 2020, that word will disappear, and there are going to be other words that are going to change.
MSNBC's Matthews: 'I Forgot He Was Black'By Kate Phillips
Updated After President Obama's address Wednesday night, Chris Matthews, the host of "Hardball" on MSNBC, began reviewing the speech in almost completely racial terms. First he called the president truly "post-racial," adding, "I forgot he was black" during the hour-plus of the speech.
The comments are already whipping around the Internet, drawing a storm of criticism. (Later, Mr. Matthews sought to clarify his remarks on air with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow — see below.)
Here's a transcript of what he said:
I was trying to think about who he was tonight. It's interesting; he is post-racial, by all appearances. I forgot he was black tonight for an hour. He's gone a long way to become a leader of this country and past so much history in just a year or two. I mean it's something we don't even think about. I was watching and I said, wait a minute, he's an African-American guy in front of a bunch of other white people and there he is, president of the United States, and we've completely forgotten that tonight — completely forgotten it. I think it was in the scope of the discussion, it was so broad ranging, so in tune with so many problems and aspects and aspects of American life. That you don't think in terms of the old tribalism and the old ethnicity. It was astounding in that regard, a very subtle fact. It's so hard to even talk about it. Maybe I shouldn't talk about it.
'Negro' Designation Stays on Census FormBy Jeff Zeleny
When Senator Harry Reid apologized to President Obama earlier this month for uttering the phrase "Negro dialect," the moment touched off considerable discussion over the use of the word. Mr. Obama called it an "unfortunate" remark. And Mr. Reid said he deeply regretted "using such a poor choice of words."
But when Americans receive their census forms this year, the category for race will include Negro as one of the options. So why, in 2010, is Negro still on the census?
"The intent was not to offend," said Robert Groves, the director of the United States Census Bureau. "The intent was to make sure that everybody could find themselves with the words there and check the box that fits."
In an interview, Mr. Groves explained that a research study found many older African-Americans who still referred to themselves as Negroes. In the 2000 census, he said, about 50,000 additional people wrote in the word Negro in a line that asked people how they wished to be identified. Half of those, he said, were 45 years old or younger.
"This was a surprise," Mr. Groves said. "No one expected this."

Mrs. Obama on Harry Reid and Party CrashersBy Sheryl Gay Stolberg
Michelle Obama said on Wednesday that Senator Harry Reid "had no need to apologize'' for his racial comments about her husband. And Mrs. Obama dismissed the fracas over three uninvited guests who crashed her first state dinner as "a footnote'' in an otherwise lovely affair.
Mr. Reid has personally apologized to President Obama for saying in a private conversation that he would make a good candidate for president because he is "light-skinned" and has "no Negro dialect." But asked for her own reaction at a roundtable interview, Mrs. Obama said: "Harry Reid had no need to apologize to me because I know Harry Reid. I measure people more on what they do rather than the things that they say.''
Mrs. Obama made her comments to reporters from seven news organizations, during a session in which she reflected on the past year and looked ahead to one in which she hopes to make a deeper policy impact by spearheading a new administrationwide initiative on childhood obesity. Mrs. Obama expects to unveil her plans in the coming weeks.
Her conversation on Wednesday, in the butter-colored formal dining room that is part of the White House residence, was wide-ranging, touching on policy matters, family life, race relations, news of the day, her one guilty pleasure ("french fries") and even fashion. She wore a sienna-colored dress, paired with above-the-knee Jimmy Choo boots, which she described as an excuse not to wear stockings. Her hair was in a neat bob, a teensy bit shorter than usual, and she confessed to a haircut ''not so drastic that it will make news.''
Obama Plans Campaign Stop for Reid in NevadaBy Adam Nagourney
The White House is about to make another big gesture demonstrating its support for Senator Harry Reid, the majority leader under fire for remarks he made about President Obama's race.
In February, Mr. Obama will head to Nevada to appear with Mr. Reid, who is facing a tough reelection battle there, aides said today.
The decision by the president to fly to Nevada for the majority leader comes as the Reid operation has made an all-out effort to rally Democrats and African-Americans around Mr. Reid, and to head off a crisis that has grown amid crucial health care negotiations and his own campaign. Several Republican officials – including the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele – called on Mr. Reid to resign.
Mr. Reid made clear he would not.
In an interview for a new book, Mr. Reid said that Mr. Obama would be able to become the first African-American president, because he was "light-skinned" and because he did not speak with a "Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Mr. Reid's aides said he thought he was in a private conversation when he made the remarks to John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, for their book, "Game Change."

Blagojevich Retreats From Race Remarks About ObamaBy Monica Davey
CHICAGO – Senator Harry Reid, the Democratic majority leader, is not the only one apologizing for using racially charged language when it comes to President Obama. On Monday, Rod R. Blagojevich, the indicted, ousted former governor of Illinois turned reality television show contestant and Elvis impersonator, had his own apologies to offer.
In an interview with Esquire Magazine for its February issue, Mr. Blagojevich is quoted as saying that he is "blacker than Barack Obama."
In the article, the comments follow the former governor portraying most politicians as phony, but saying that he was "real," going on to note (as Mr. Blagojevich often has over many years) that he shined shoes as a child, grew up in a five-room apartment, and that his father had a laundromat "in a black community not far from where we lived."
By Monday morning, as word of the comments became public, Mr. Blagojevich, who faces a jury trial this spring on charges of corruption and trying to sell the Senate seat left empty when Mr. Obama became president, was back-pedaling.
On WLS radio, an AM talk station in his hometown here, Mr. Blagojevich said he had chosen his words poorly and was sorry if he had offended anyone. He described his comment about being "blacker" as a "stupid thing to say."

In Reid's Comments, Hints of Obama's Own WordsBy Jeff Zeleny
Senator Harry Reid's comments about Barack Obama's race – and its positive implications for his presidential run in 2008 – have been well aired by now.
The weekend fallout has largely devolved into a familiar Democrat vs. Republican argument focusing on the political consequences for Mr. Reid, the Senate Democratic leader who is scraping through a tough re-election fight at home in Nevada.
So it was no surprise that Mr. Obama moved to quickly accept Mr. Reid's apology, considering that health care legislation and the rest of the president's initiatives are likely to rise or fall on the back of the majority leader.
But that's not the only reason Mr. Obama may have been quick to say "the book is closed" on the remark from Mr. Reid, who referred to Mr. Obama as "light-skinned" and carrying the advantage of having "no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
The comment – made to the authors of a new book on the presidential campaign – is not so different from remarks Mr. Obama has made himself while navigating the complicated intersection of race and politics in America during his rapid rise to the White House.
It was only two years ago, after all, that Mr. Obama was struggling to persuade some African-American voters that he was black enough. His electoral prospects did not rise among many Democrats in the South Carolina primary, where black voters are critical, until winning the Iowa caucuses, where the vast share of voters are white.

Bill Clinton on Obama, Race and the PresidencyBy Kate Phillips
In an interview with Larry King on CNN Monday night, former President Bill Clinton became the second predecessor of President Obama to discuss whether racism is playing a role in the sometimes vociferous opposition to the administration's policies on health care and other issues.
Asked whether former President Jimmy Carter was right to declare last week that the views of those protesting against the president were based in racism, Mr. Clinton said:
I believe that some of the right-wing extremists which oppose President Obama are also racially prejudiced and would prefer not to have an African-American president. But I don't believe that all the people that oppose him on health care and all the conservatives are racist.
And I believe if he were white, every single person who opposes him now would be opposing him then.
Therefore, while I have devoted my life to getting rid of racism, I think this is a fight that my president and our party — this is one we need to win on the merits. And so, I understand why it's frustrating because the Congressman was from South Carolina and South Carolina is noted in the Republican Party for having Bob Jones University and for the …the Dixie flag, the messy primary with John McCain and President Bush in 2000.
But Mr. Clinton added that he believed President Obama was on the correct course by fighting the health care battle on its merits. In wall-to-wall TV interviews on Sunday, Mr. Obama largely dismissed the notion that his opponents were motivated by race, trying to outline a broader context of those who don't want larger government involvement in certain policy areas or who are opposed to change of any kind.
As for Mr. Carter's views, Mr. Clinton noted: "There's no wrong or right on this. I think that if you're a white Southerner and you've been involved as long as Jimmy Carter has, as long as I have; if civil rights was essentially the cause of your life that drove you into politics; you're exceedingly sensitive to anything that sounds racially prejudiced.
"But you can't — but if you're president, you have to be exceedingly sensitive to the fact that not everybody who disagrees on you on health care has a — has a racist bone in their body. Some of the extremist do, but most of them don't. This — let me put it this way. If Barak Obama were a white president, I believe virtually 100 percent of the people who oppose him on health care today would oppose him on health care anyway.
"So, I don't want to say that President Carter is wrong about there being some still racial prejudice involved in the opponents of President Obama, but this fight is a fight which would exist no matter the color of his skin is because of the — look what happened in '93 and '94 to me. I mean the right has never wanted — they didn't want Medicare, they didn't want Medicaid, they didn't want … The Children's Healthcare Program, they didn't want Social Security. And they somehow believe that, miraculously, we should be the only rich country in the world that can't figure out how to cover everybody and keep shoveling, literally, $900 billion a year at health care."

If an organization puts all its trust to handle money in one person it´s almost begging to be ripped off.I´m not an accountant, but I think setting up internal as well as external controls tends to discourage embezzlement.
