George Pell allegations: Catholic Archbishop of Sydney slams 'trial by media'
ABC News
By Bill Code
The Catholic Archbishop of Sydney has slammed what he calls the trial by media of Cardinal George Pell, following revelations on the ABC's 7:30 program that Australia's most senior Catholic is being investigated over claims of sexual misconduct.
"The allegations against Cardinal George Pell aired on the ABC's 7:30 Report were extremely distressing for all parties, are as yet untested, and have been emphatically denied," Archbishop Anthony Fisher said in a statement.
"The community deserves the rule of law be respected. Trial by media benefits no-one."
The program revealed Victorian Police were examining complaints made against Cardinal Pell relating to alleged events in the 1970s and 80s.
Specifically, claims Cardinal Pell touched two boys inappropriately in the late 1970s, and another accusation he stood naked in front of three young boys for a period of about 10 minutes in a surf club changeroom, causing an adult witness concern.
Cardinal Pell has emphatically denied the allegations in a series of statements.
"The ABC has no licence to destroy the reputation of innocent people and Cardinal Pell, like all those who have allegations against them that have not been tested by the courts, is entitled to the presumption of innocence," his office reiterated on Thursday.
7.30 has obtained eight police statements from complainants, witnesses and family members.

The House That George Built: With a Little Help from Irving, Cole, and a Crew of Fiftyby Wilfrid Sheed
From Irving Berlin to Cy Coleman, from "Alexander's Ragtime Band" to "Big Spender," from Tin Pan Alley to the MGM soundstages, the Golden Age of the American song embodied all that was cool, sexy, and sophisticated in popular culture. For four glittering decades, geniuses like Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Harold Arlen ran their fingers over piano keys, enticing unforgettable melodies out of thin air. Critically acclaimed writer Wilfrid Sheed uncovered the legends, mingled with the greats, and gossiped with the insiders. Now he's crafted a dazzling, authoritative history of the era that "tripled the world's total supply of singable tunes."
It began when immigrants in New York's Lower East Side heard black jazz and blues–and it surged into an artistic torrent nothing short of miraculous. Broke but eager, Izzy Baline transformed himself into Irving Berlin, married an heiress, and embarked on a string of hits from "Always" to "Cheek to Cheek." Berlin's spiritual godson George Gershwin, in his brief but incandescent career, straddled Tin Pan Alley and Carnegie Hall, charming everyone in his orbit. Possessed of a world-class ego, Gershwin was also generous, exciting, and utterly original. Half a century later, Gershwin love songs like "Someone to Watch Over Me," "The Man I Love," and "Love Is Here to Stay" are as tender and moving as ever.
Sheed also illuminates the unique gifts of the great jazz songsters Hoagy Carmichael and Duke Ellington, conjuring up the circumstances of their creativity and bringing back the thrill of what it was like to hear "Georgia on My Mind" or "Mood Indigo" for the first time. The Golden Age of song sparked creative breakthroughs in both Broadway musicals and splashy Hollywood extravaganzas. Sheed vividly recounts how Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Jerome Kern, and Johnny Mercer spread the melodic wealth to stage and screen.
Popular music was, writes Sheed, "far and away our greatest contribution to the world's art supply in the so-called American Century." Sheed hung out with some of the great artists while they were still writing–and better than anyone, he knows great music, its shimmer, bite, and exuberance. Sparkling with wit, insight, and the grace notes of wonderful songs, The House That George Built is a heartfelt, intensely personal portrait of an unforgettable era.
A delightfully charming, funny, and most illuminating portrait of songwriters and the Golden Age of American Popular Song. Mr. Sheed's carefully chosen depictions and anecdotes recapture that amazingly creative period, a moment in time in which I was so fortunate to be surrounded by all that magic."
–Margaret Whiting
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
The Washington Post
Sheed (Office Politics), who won a 1987 Grammy Award for Best Album Notes (for Sinatra's The Voice), spoke over the decades with many of these Great American Songbook creators and their families. In this book, he employs an informal, anecdotal approach as he looks back at the top tunesmiths of Tin Pan Alley, Broadway and Hollywood. Composer Arthur Schwartz recalled that he "dashed off the tune in 20 minutes" after lyricist Howard Dietz casually remarked, "What is life but dancing in the dark?" Beginning with Gershwin and Irving Berlin, Sheed quotes numerous lyrics throughout his lilting, witty profiles (of Harold Arlen, Hoagy Carmichael, Duke Ellington, Frank Loesser, Johnny Mercer, Richard Rodgers and others), plus brief comments on 57 more. Since Hurricane Katrina, Louis Alter's "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?" has served as a national anthem, so the curt dismissal of Alter ("more a swinging musician than a songwriter proper") is curious amid the many choruses of praise. Sheed soars on the wings of song with scintillating, lyrical writing. (July 3)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information

Read an Excerpt
Chapter 1
The Road to Berlin
There are several ways of defining and measuring an era, but an excellent place to start is by checking out the media of the day and what they could or could not do at the moment. For example, when sound recording first came along, the singers belted into it as if performing to an empty stadium. The name that springs to mind is Caruso, the world's biggest voice. But with the coming of microphones in the 1920s, singing became more personal, and the name became Bing Crosby, the world's friendliest voice. So songs became brisker and less operatic, to suit not only the mike but the piano rack and the record cabinet. In short, the familiar thirty-two-bar song, which now seems to have been fixed in the stars, was actually fixed by the practicalities of sheet-music publishing and confirmed by the limitations of ten-inch records.
Or one might define an era in terms of women's fashions and the consequent rise of impulse dancing on improvised dance floors. You can't really jitterbug in a hoopskirt or bustle. Swing follows costume, and the big news was that by the 1910s skirts had become just loose enough and short enough to liberate the wearer from the tyranny of twirling through eternal waltzes in ballrooms as big as basketball courts, and freed her to do fox-trots and anything else that could be done in short, quick steps on, if necessary, living room floors with rugs rolled up. So that's what the boys wrote for next. By the 1920s, the whole lower leg could swing out in Charlestons and other abandoned exercises. Songwriters celebrated that with a decade of fast-rhythm numbers. This has always been a dancing country, and never more so than in the Depression, when people trucked their blues away in marathons, or in seedy dance halls. "Ten Cents a Dance" was better than no income at all. And the Lindy Hop was as good as a gym class too.
And so on, through the arrival of women's slacks in the late 1930s and their increased popularity in World War II for both work and play— Rosie the Riveter could jitterbug on her lunch break without leaving the floor. All she needed was a beat. Which brings us with a final bump and a grinding halt to rock and roll and the totally free-form dancing of today, which can be done with no clothes at all to a beat in your own head while you're watching something else on television.
The huge, nonnegotiable gap between then and now is that in the past, music and dancing had always been disciplined by something or other. There had always been rules for doing it right, and even the wildest flights of swing and swing dancing had rested on a bed of piano lessons and dance lessons, and dress codes as well. Cab Calloway in a zoot suit was still a dressy man, a dandy; Cab Calloway in jeans or shorts over his knees would not have been dressed at all in the old sense. Going out dancing used to be an event, like going to church. Today all that remains are the rituals of prom night, which must seem weirder every year.
The era might also be measured in demographics or political cycles or even weather patterns. But the brilliant strand of music that, running through Irving Berlin and George Gershwin, has become the music of the standards began with a bang—with pianos being hoisted into tenements, a magnificent and noisy event, and it ended with guitars being schlepped quietly, almost parenthetically, into ranch houses and split-levels to herald the arrival of the great non-event that has been with us ever since.
But first the bang, then the whimper. There was no way of receiving such an impressive object as a piano quietly in such close quarters. Whether it bounced up the staircase or jangled its way over the fire escape and in through the window, the neighbors knew about it all right, and would be reminded again every time Junior hit the keys and shook the building. Short of a Rolls-Royce or carriage and horses, there was never such a status symbol, with the consequence that although "all the families around us were poor," said Harry Ruby, "they all had pianos." For such important matters, time-payments were born.
So the parents went into hock and found room for the damn thing someplace, and artistic Darwinism did the rest. You buy a piano for Ira Gershwin, and George is the one who plays it, although sometimes you had to live through a week of hell to learn this. As anyone knows who has ever housed a child and a piano, every tot who walks through the door will bang the bejesus out of the new toy for a few minutes, get bored, and come back, and back again, and bang some more, but then successively less and less until the dust starts to move in and claim it. . . . Unless the child finds something interesting in the magic box, a familiar tune that stammers to life under his fingers, or a promising and unfamiliar one; a chord that sounds good, and rolls out into a respectable arpeggio as well, with, saints be praised, a bass line that actually works for a bar or two—after which a gifted kid with an instrument is like a teenager with his first car and a tank full of gas. Where to, James: Charleston, Chattanooga, or Kalamazoo? Two-steps, or concertos, or parts unknown?
"Well, he'll probably settle down eventually," hoped the parents who had only bought the thing for the sake of respectability and maybe for some civilized graces around here. It speaks wonders for those parents in that era that they knew that being a famous lawyer or doctor wasn't enough in life. If you weren't a person of cultivation, you were still a bum.
But some of the kids insisted on being bums anyway, and sometimes the piano only made them worse. There were low-life uses for the instrument as well as high, and all the classical music lessons the parents could shout for weren't always enough to keep Junior out of the gutter, especially once ragtime had come along, in Frank Loesser's phrase, "to fill the gutters in gold." Talk about subversive —not even Elvis Presley rolling his hips had as many parents and preachers up and howling and sending for the exorcism unit as ragtime did. After all, not too many kids have hips like Elvis's, but anyone who could play "Chopsticks" or whistle "The Star-Spangled Banner" could syncopate, and in no time, as Irving Berlin bragged in two of his hits, "Everybody's doing it" in one form or another, from "Italian opera singers" learning to snap their fingers, to "dukes and lords and Russian czars," who settled for throwing their shoulders in the air and no doubt rolling their eyes. And there was no place to hide from it, even in an ivory tower. In fact, it would become a staple of B-movie musicals to show a professor at first frowning mightily as he hears the kids jazzing up a well-known classic, only to furtively wind up, beneath the gown or the desk, tapping his own foot too, as if the body snatchers had seized that much of him. And if the "professoriate" and the "long hairiate" couldn't stand up to it, the kid at the keyboard wasn't even going to try. Because this is where ragtime belonged, its birthplace, its office and its home, and the great Scott Joplin was still making tunes out of it, which maybe they could use in place of Czerny's finger exercises while no one was listening.
"What's that you're playing? That's not what you're supposed to be playing." Someone was always listening, and one imagines a thousand fights a day over this as George or Harold or Fats would stray once more from his scales and his Bach-made-easy and start to vamp the music of his pulse, the music of the streets.
Well, just because everybody was doing it didn't make it right. But remember: There was no other living music around except the music of the streets; there were no radios or records, or even talking pictures. Unless your parents took you to the theater, like Jerome Kern's, or to concerts, like no one I can think of, "good" music only existed in the form of hieroglyphs on a page, which meant that in effect it was a dead language, and a growing child could not survive on dead languages alone. So they listened instead to the sounds that seeped out of the vaudeville house rear windows and under the doors of taverns, and to the riffs of the barrel organs and ice cream trucks playing "Nola" and "The Whistler and His Dog," and from the upstairs windows of the tenements themselves, where seditious neighbors had actually acquired the latest sheet music and couldn't wait to bang it out on their new pianos, for the rest of the community to swing to and curse.
But perhaps the most effective medium for spreading the new music around were the average absentminded whistlers and hummers whose names were legion in those days, and still semi-legion when I was growing up in the 1940s and '50s. In fact, I have a vague feeling I was one myself. Anyway, you had little choice about it. If you knew the music, you whistled it, as if all the backed-up melody in your head was forcing its way out through your mouth like steam from a kettle. And this medium was no respecter of class or location either. As late as the 1950s, you could still hear respectable bankers and businessmen in stark colors and homburg hats whistling their way to work like newsboys or Walt Disney's dwarves. The very last time I heard a recognizable tune being whistled all the way through, it turned out to be coming from a natty distinguished senior in the next booth of a men's room who was whistling while he whatever. By that point in time, this man's whistling had become the only sound in a quiet building, like a trumpet blowing "Taps" over an empty battlefield, but imagine how that whistle sounded for the first time, back in the days when the natty old man was still a scruffy old boy adding his two cents' worth to the noise of the whistling businessmen and the cheerful whine of the calliopes and the soughs of violins being scraped on street corners.
And then imagine how it all sounded to that other small boy trying to get serious at the piano, but tempted like sin by the sounds of freedom outside, all of which, from the barrel organ to the guy on the corner trying to make a buck from his fiddle or harmonica, was at that moment syncopated. And it all went into Junior's ears and hands and came out again, jumbled perhaps with Mr. Mozart's music or whoever was on the rack that day for him to torture, and maybe with some verbal help from the wise guy next door, the result might be a song that someday might sell like hotcakes and cross the ocean too, until the whole world was playing and whistling it and some of the bums whose parents had despaired of them became very rich indeed, and the parents frowned and learned to tap their feet too, and moved uptown, where, thanks to their one very shrewd investment in a musical black box, they'd never have to work again. The piano lessons might have been wasted, but the hooky lessons were pure gold.
Or were the piano lessons really wasted? One of the proudest claims made for the American standards is that they were good music written by real musicians, however they got there, whether by studying at the best schools, like Kern and Rodgers, or by just listening, like Irving Berlin. Berlin never did learn the piano, but could spot a wrong note on the next block.
The school of "just listening" received an endorsement from the arrival of jazz in those years. The best jazz musicians created intricate harmonies without benefit of pencil or paper—disciplines that could take years to master at school. Classical lessons were still useful because they taught good from bad and what was good about good.
But playing hooky was vital—not just at the piano, playing Chopin and Brahms in ragtime, but playing hooky from the piano, just walking around and listening to the music of the city itself, which was experiencing a creative transformation right under these players' ears.
The same wave of good luck that had brought so many eastern European Jews to New York had also brought enough Southern blacks to mount a Harlem renaissance, and just like that, two of the principal ingredients had arrived. The standards have actually been referred to as a Jewish response to black music, but this definition is a loaded compliment that neither party has rushed to claim. With such praise, Jews never know whether to take a bow or duck. In a safe house like this book, it is the highest compliment I can think of. But in the mouth of a WASP supremacist like Henry Ford, "Jewish" meant un- American and subversive, so don't wave that compliment around or it might explode; and for blacks it just meant more of the minstrel-show syndrome. There go those darkies, making music again, haven't they got a great sense of rhythm? As outsiders, both Jews and blacks had been positively expected to entertain, but when they did so, it automatically became a second-class thing to do. Show biz in general was the ultimate club that accepted Groucho Marx and invited his scorn.
Music is not produced by whole groups, but by one genius at a time, and it may be significant that the two families that gave us Irving Berlin and George Gershwin both fled Russia on the same great wave of czarist pogroms, only to find American black people not only singing about a similar experience, but using the Hebrew Bible as their text.
Blacks, too, had been to heaven and back. They had found the promised land in the form of emancipation, and for a few giddy years the taste of freedom had been all the milk and honey they needed. But when they (and the white man) woke up, they realized nothing much had changed. The slaves had been moved to another part of the ledger. They would still be working for the boss, the pharaoh, but they would have to look for their own food and lodging now and pay for it out of their still-empty pockets. And somehow the boss seemed to have multiplied to include any white man who wanted a shoe shine or simply a glass of water. Just say the word "boy" to any African American, even today, and he'll remember.

Every January, state lawmakers from all corners of Georgia gather in Atlanta for 40 days of grandstanding, shenanigans, and occasional policymaking. This year was no different.
Despite being what's considered the quietest 40-day Georgia General Assembly in recent memory, there were plenty of opportunities for back-scratching and embarrassment. There were proposals to give Georgia gun owners more places to tote their shootin' irons, battles between the state House of Representatives and Senate over how much they could suckle on lobbyists' teats, and efforts to expand Georgia's already heinous immigration law. Lawmakers fought tooth and nail to pass a bill pushed by telecommunications companies that would keep the state's rural towns in the Internet dark ages. And in the eleventh hour, lawmakers unveiled a plan to prevent state employees from getting abortions. Yes, it was quieter than previous years. But it was just as sleazy.
Per tradition, CL sifted through the muck to highlight the bad, the worse, and the unimaginably grotesque. Without further ado, the 24th annual Golden Sleaze Awards.
- Joeff Davis
The "Die, Bambi, Die" Award
Sen. Bill Heath, R-Bremen
The last time you went hunting, while you were perched high in a deer stand, armed with a long-range scope rifle, wearing night-vision goggles, and slathering doe urine on your face to attract bucks, did you think, "I could sure use an advantage?" Heath, a Bremen Republican, heard those thoughts. This year, he proposed allowing hunters to use silencers. The measure would reduce forest noise pollution and prevent gunshots from scaring off other animals, thus helping hunters cram more kills into their busy schedules. See, it's a win-win. Should you wish to track down Heath to discuss the proposal, don't bother emailing. Or even asking him in person. The lawmaker, frustrated over emails complaining about former Sen. Chip Rogers landing a $150,000 gig at Georgia Public Broadcasting, started responding with form letters. And when TV crews asked him about that standoffish tactic, he ran and hid in a Gold Dome office.
- Joeff Davis
- HIGH-SPEED FAIL: State Rep. Mark Hamilton, R-Cumming, wanted to keep rural communities in the Dark Ages.
The "Dial-Up's Good Enuf for Y'all" Award
Rep. Mark Hamilton, R-Cumming
The Forsyth County Republican inadvertently showed that the Other Georgia — the foreign land lying far outside metro Atlanta — still matters. Hamilton tried to tell small towns that if they want access to Internet service with enough bandwidth to stream an HD movie, they must wait for the likes of AT&T or Windstream to deem them worthy, instead of laying their own fiber. Trying to save citizens from the threat of public Internet, he ignored a parade of small-town mayors, residents and city managers testifying that private companies are failing to offer them Internet fast enough for a single school or hospital. But rather than die waiting for the phone company, Democrats and rural Republicans rejected Hamilton's handout to Big Telecom.
The "Guns at Pep Rallies" Awards
Rep. Rick Jasperse, R-Jasper, and Rep. Charles Gregory, R-Kennesaw
After the recent rash of mass shootings, Colorado and other states made efforts to restrict easy access to guns. In Georgia, it's just the reverse. In addition to actually making it easier for the mentally ill to get hold of firearms, a Jasperse-sponsored bill would've opened bars, churches, parts of college campuses, and even some courthouses to licensed gun owners. Alas, the milquetoast GOP nixed turning those places into free-fire zones. Gregory, the obvious heir to the late Bobby Franklin's title as wackiest Gold Dome politico, called out his party on its tyranny for failing to protect his God-given right to carry heat pretty much anywhere, any time. Gregory's own proposal — to waive the license required to carry a concealed weapon — went nowhere. Maybe that's because he filed his bill a mere five days after the Newtown school massacre. Too soon?
- Joeff Davis
The "Cell Yes in Your Backyard!" Award
Sen. Don Parsons, R-AT&T
Telecommunication companies and local governments have played tug-of-war for several years over where cell-phone towers can be located. Parsons found a way to give the AT&Ts, Verizons, and Sprints of the world a break — and the ability to silence their opponent with paperwork. Under his bill, counties would need to respond to a telecom company's application to erect one of the eyesores within 150 days. Sounds reasonable. Only in this case, if the deadline wasn't met, the request would automatically be approved. In addition, the bill would limit the amount companies could be charged by counties and cities in consultants' fees. A former Bellsouth executive-turned-telecom consultant couldn't have written a better bill. Oh, wait — Parsons is a Bellsouth executive-turned-telecom consultant. Bet his clients would be thankful for all the help!
- Joeff Davis
The "Meme Machine" Award
Rep. Earnest Smith, D-Augusta
Smith co-sponsored a proposal that would've made it illegal to Photoshop a person's head onto someone else's body that was nude, engaging in sexual conduct or otherwise obscene. If passed, offenders could be charged with a misdemeanor and/or a $1,000 fine. "No one has a right to make fun of anyone," Smith told Morris News Service. "You have a right to speak, but no one has a right to disparage another person. It's not a First Amendment right." Unfortunately, Ernie, it is. The only attention the lawmaker's efforts received came from conservative blogger Andre Walker, who digitally slapped Smith's shiny round skull onto the body of a well-endowed male porn star. A meme was born. When later asked how it felt to be a victim of something he sought to ban, Smith replied: "It's clear that we need to do something."

Napier's triple-double leads UConn over Yale 80-62
Associated Press | Last updated November 11, 2013
Shabazz Napier put up the 10th triple-double in UConn history Monday, leading lead No. 19 Connecticut to an 80-62 win over in-state rival Yale. Napier finished with 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Connecticut (2-0), which dropped one spot in the polls coming off a one-point win over Maryland. Omar Calhoun had 18 points and Niels Giffey added 15, all of them in the first half. He and Calhoun combined for eight of UConn's 11 3-pointers. Ryan Boatright hit two more and finished with 14 points for the Huskies. Justin Sears led Yale (1-1) with 17 points. Javier Duren added 15. Giffey hit 3-pointers on four consecutive possessions midway through the first half to give the Huskies control of what had been a tight game early.

Entities: Every data element in Drupal is now an Entity (Nodes, taxonomy, users, comments). This was huge shift and probably could get its own chapter. Found barely a mention of this.
Database: I was glad to see some mention of the OOP aspects of the database API. One major absence was EntityFieldQuery. This is a huge D7 feature that developers will need and I don't recall seeing it mentioned.
RDF: Resource Description Framework is in core. This needs a chapter (or a book). Enough said.
Renderable Content: All content in D7 is treated similar to FAPI (form API), via a renderable array. This new feature didn't get nearly enough of the attention it deserves.
Javascript/AJAX: Missing about 2 chapters here. The ajax functionality for D7 is all new. I don't recall a mention of the Ajax commands API. Also missing was any mention of Drupal.behaviors. The Javascript examples don't follow the best practices.
I respect the authors work and gave them my $[...] bucks for the book. That being said, I'd really wait for (hopefully) the next edition of this book as it is missing too many key features of D7 for me to fully recommend. If you are already hardcore into D7 development definitely hold out.
Probably the biggest shortcoming of "Pro Drupal 7 Development" is the inadequate coverage of Fields API. One major change of Drupal 7 was the integration of CCK (now known as Fields API) into core. While the book explains how to define fields in the UI (which is off-topic for a book on programming) and how to create custom fields, it lacks an explanation of how to work with fields programmatically. Consequently, it remains unclear how to migrate content based on custom node types from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.
Other major changes of Drupal 7 include Entities, which unify nodes, users, and comments into one common concept, and Render Elements, which radically change the way theming works. Alas, neither Entities nor Render Elements are even mentioned in this book.
It is obvious that "Pro Drupal 7 Development" was rushed to market. The index is sketchy, some flow diagrams of the second edition have been replaced by blurry jpegs, and code examples are formatted sloppily (wrong indentation, poor word-wrapping). Many chapters refer to the Drupal online documentation for "up-to-date information".
For Drupal module developers who already own the second edition and who just want update their knowledge for Drupal 7 the book "Drupal 7 Module Development" by Matt Butcher is a much better choice.
The code examples are full of errors, but there is no errata:[...]
Apparently, Apress lost all the submitted errata information because of no backup.
I honestly don't understand how a book like this can pass through a process of technical review, and even get the recommendations of Dries Buytaert in the foreword. I love Drupal, but this book is going to be bad for the community. I really think Apress owes us a revised edition.
I would definitely not recommend this book to anyone already owning the second edition. Instead buy "Drupal 7 module Development". It is not an easy read, but at least it is up-to-date.
First of all: For a development book, there are just too many coding mistakes in the code printed. The authors provide an online errata ([...]), but even that directory of errors doesn't cover everything. Unfortunately, only the code examples for the first 2 chapters are available online, so the only option to get the code running is typing it in. With 50 conceptual code errors (and counting), that process is very frustrating as it's unclear why a certain piece of code isn't working correctly.
Drupal 7 provides a number of exciting conceptual changes, but rather than explaining what these changes mean for a programmer, the authors merely updated the chapters from the 2nd edition without revising the structure of each chapter. In some cases, the documentation in the code still refers to the the code in the 2nd edition.
I purchased this book before it was released, as it was the de-facto standard developer book for Drupal 6. For the 3rd edition, I wish the publisher and technical reviewers would have spent more time before putting this book on the market.

""Right from the start i'm already impressed with the electric guitar. It does a great job established a dark tone and sounds very raw. The singer has a powerful singing voice and fits nicely with the instrumentals. The lyrics weren't really anything special, just rather plain. At times the lyrics sound like a run on sentence. The instruments are played nicely, and once again I have to say that i'm really impressed with the electric guitar playing. The solo during the breakdown was executed masterfully and lead the song into a whole new territory, completely shifting the tone from what was originally established at the start ultimately resulting in some great variety in this track. The artist is very talented, both with great sounding vocals and some really strong instrument playing. Given some better lyrics I could easily see a big rock hit from this artist.""

I disagree. Yes it is popular to hate the OS as satan here on slashdot.
Windows 10 anniversary over 7 has:
1. Much better battery life for laptops and not just portables
2. Native wifi and NFC printing
3. Native USB 3 and USB type C drivers
4. Stable NVMe (7 is backported with 3rd party drivers that are buggy)
5. Hyper-V (A Must for any IT professional!). Yes you can run native Ubuntu and Fedora with a generation 2 VM
6. Better JavaScript performance (in Chrome)
7. Cloud integration with azure with Azure Active Directory. Some businesses prefer this model over having an expensive IT department
8. Ink works well on MS surface and hybrids for OneNote and Sticky Notes. I own a Surface Pro 3 and yes it is a work tool for me that is ultra portable
You could not pay me to go back on Windows 7. The only good thing I have to say about Windows 7 is it is very stable and has a consistent gorgeous UI with aero. But like XP it is showing it's age with 3rd party drivers that do not work well, terrible battery life, and it does not work as well with modern hardware.

Product Description
Based on Geoffrey Household's hit novel Rogue Male, Man Hunt itself became a big hit on the eve of World War II. It's still a grabber because Lang, abetted by top Fox cameraman Arthur Miller, art directors Richard Day and Wiard B. Ihnen, and composer Alfred Newman, created a brilliantly atmospheric and entirely studio-bound world--just like the old days at Ufa, but with superior production resources. The film is Germanic to the max, with imagery of fierce angularity and chiaroscuro, literally underground confrontations, and a scenario rife with doppelgängers and secret selves. Gestapo pursuer-in-chief George Sanders rates a bravura introduction, posed ramrod straight in a white uniform in a white room with a white mountain vista outside ... and yes, he has a monocle (like Lang's). Man Hunt marked Lang's initial association with two future partners: screenwriter Dudley Nichols, who would script the director's American masterpiece Scarlet Street, and actress Joan Bennett, who starred in three more Lang pictures. Her character--a little English streetwalker, not that the Production Code allowed her to be acknowledged as such--is key to the movie's potent emotional wallop (she anticipates the Gloria Grahame role in The Big Heat). As Lang told an interviewer three decades later, she "had all my heart." Which also cuts two ways. --Richard T. Jameson

Briskly paced and edited, "Man Hunt" remains a tense thriller throughout its 105 minute running time, right up to its suspenseful climax. Seldom screened on television or in revival, and never before released on video, this classic film (which enjoys a small but avid cult following) has been long-awaited and arrives highly recommended.

I have heard this is being released to coincide with the DVD release of Tom Cruise's Valkyries. Even though that movie is not as good as this one, I'll take it any way I can get it. This is somewhat like the release of the Dracula - The Legacy Collection (Dracula / Dracula (1931 Spanish Version) / Dracula's Daughter / Son of Dracula / House of Dracula) as a publicity stunt for the laughable CGI-fest Van Helsing (Widescreen Edition). Sometimes great films from the past emerge on DVD as a result of publicizing the films of the present.
A welcome addition to my DVD collection.
Man Hunt became the first war film to attract the attention of the then-neutral America's Hays censorship Office. Joseph Breen was alarmed by the script when he read it in 1941, calling it a "hate film." Yes, Lang did hate Nazis (National Socialists). Breen felt the isolationist atmosphere of 1941 America, the film showed all Germans as evil, unlike other films showing both good non-Nazi Germans as well as evil National Socialists. ( I don't remember any "good" Nazis in Casablanca either! )
Breen insisted that the Germans could not be characterised as so brutal. The US censorship office would pass the film only if it would "indicate" brutality rather than show it. Therefore, it did not show Thorndike's torture but left it in the mind of the audience.
Darryl F. Zanuck was also worried about Lang's anti-Nazi enthusiasm and banned him from the editing room. However, Lang and his associate Gene Fowler, Jr. secretly edited the film without Zanuck's approval.
Concerned about America's neutrality, Congressional hearings were making progress about this film. However after December 7, 1941 all investigations concerning the film were dropped. In light of what we now know about Nazi Germany, it is clear that the producers and director had it about right.
DVD has excellent picture and sound. Highly recommended.
My only (small) negative comment is the fact that the DVD case is one of those environmentally damaging, thin cases, with holes in it. This case has to be thrown away and replaced with a more substantial one.

Video: Police shoot man with assault rifle near Occupy protest
New video shows Houston police shooting 21-year-old Joshua Twohig near where Occupy protesters were gathered
By PoliceOne Staff
Recently-released video captured the shooting of a man wielding an assault rifle near a Houston Occupy protest in a downtown park last week.
21-year-old Joshua Anthony Twohig fired off several shots inside Tranquility Park on November 21. After several attempts to get Twohig to drop his rifle, police fired on him, hitting him several times. Twohig was taken to the hospital and treated for non life-threatening injuries.
According to CNN, bicycle officers A. Cantos and H. Lam were on patrol when they heard gunshots and saw Twohig standing on a bridge near the park's fountains and pond holding a weapon. As they approached, he fired his weapon into the pond and then gestured as though he was intending to commit suicide, screaming "Shoot me, shoot me".

Safe and Effective
Posted by Reviewer2060826 on Aug 15, 2013
I consult www.ewg.org/skindeep/ Cosmetics Database to check the safety of body care products. This product is safe and effective at protecting from sun burn. It leaves a thin, white film on your skin, as do most of the "healthy" sun protection products, but it's not as noticeable as many I've tried. The price is reasonable for the value.
非常好 very good

The Raising of Predicates: Predicative Noun Phrases and the Theory of Clause Structure - Cambridge Studies in Linguistics No. 80 (Paperback)Andrea Moro, P. Austin, J. Bresnan, B. Comrie, S. Crain, W. Dressler, C. J. Ewen, R. Lass, D. Lightfoot, K. Rice
Paperback Published: 16/03/2006
- Can be ordered from our supplier
One of the basic premises of the theory of syntax is that clause structures can be minimally identified as containing a verb phrase, playing the role of predicate, and a noun phrase, playing the role of subject. In this study Andrea Moro identifies a new category of copular sentences, namely inverse copular sentences, where the noun phrase which co-occurs with the verb phrase plays the role of predicate, occupying the position which is canonically reserved for subjects, and the subject is embedded in the verb phrase. The consequences of such a discovery are pervasive. Four distinct areas of syntax are unified into a unique natural class. Along with inverse copular sentences, existential sentences, sentences with seem and unaccusative constructions are analysed as involving the raising of a predicative noun phrase to the most prominent position in the clause structure. In addition, new light is shed on some classical issues such as the distribution and nature of expletives, locality theory, cliticization phenomena, possessive constructions, and the cross-linguistic variations of the Definiteness Effect.

Iran Nuke Deal Throws Spotlight On Israeli Nukes
There was something quite embarrassing about the way Obama had to idiot-proof the reasons for making peace. This was undoubtedly the President's 'finest hour' as he articulated the many benefits of an agreement that for most, American Jewry included, is a no brainer. During the speech the tension was mainly because of how laboriously Obama had to spell out it's benefits. When one thinks that this was largely to appease Bibi and his AIPAC hawks it cast a bad light on Israel. Bibi has cried wolfone too many times one suspects and only the congressman and senators that are obsequious to AIPAC are likely to back him. The geopolitics clearly dictates that this is a great deal for Israel. If truth be told Turkey and Pakistan are far greater existential threats to Israel as they have a much more extreme muslim populations, and they are also far more advanced, both in their respective conventional and nuclear military capacities. The very spectacle of an American President having to cower in his words was unedifying and a long term threat to the relationship that ultimately secures Israel. Whilst the American public are still pro-Israel that can change rapidly and it is incidences such as this that can create the mood change. Furthermore every time Obama mentioned the international obligations Iran have agreed to abide by it highlighted the very same treaties Israel has side stepped to obtain it's own nuclear arsenal. This is bad politics. As Bibi's fanatical stance on settlers continues the international community has begun to side with Palestine. This weak saw Jewish terrorists burn an Arab Baby to death, kill a gay pride teenager and boast about plans to burn down churches in the Lehava case. No one can dispute that Bibi's belligerence has incubated this environment. The Iranian negotiator, Zarif, pointed out that biblically Persia/Iran is the only country to have save Israel three times in history. There is ironically biblical validity in that claim but there are two things Iran does not have the capability to do; firstly destroy Israel, and secondly save Israel- from itself.

Bibi's Surprise Win
Having marginally trailed right up to election day against the Zionist
Union, Bibi had become increasingly desperate. Although he has
always practised the policy of procrastination and war to avoid any
kind of settlement with the Palestinians he now took to openly
declaring it as a campaign promise. Palestinians responded with a
degree of despairing honesty by declaring that at least they don't
have to keep up the pretence of engaging in a road map which no
longer exists.
Binyamin Netanyahu has been a catastrophe for Us-Israeli relations. Not least by cocking a snoot at the Us President he has publicly exposed the almighty power of the Jewish lobby on the whole architecture of american political life. This is not in keeping with the traditional way Israeli politicians have exerted their influence. It exposes Israel to more public scrutiny. Israel can ill afford this scrutiny which is increasingly dividing support among broader Jewish communities and the American electorate at large.
His ill judged intervention in the Iran Nuclear talks which would be a long term strategic coup for both the Americans and Israel is also a concern but ironically his personal unpopularity will probably make some agreement more likely.

Israel wants to reserve the right to start WW3
Unfortunately while US generals are espousing the insanity of an Israeli strike on Iran, Bibi is only looking forward to the US presidential election period when no presidential challenger or incumbent wants to be seen as weak on foreign policy. It is also becoming increasingly clear to military analysts that Israel cannot carry out this mission alone. This does not bode well for Iran's client Hezbollah who are likely to bear the brunt of a proxy war. This would be a cowardly act but a much more palatable option for the war hungry Knesset. Israel has failed to learn from its last disastrous foray into the region. It should be aware that despite all their hype using AIPAC and their media cronies on Fox News the greatest threat to the dysfunctional apartheid is the ubiquity of Al-Jazeera, RT and other critical outlets with mass audiences not just in the middle east but across the world.
Iran's new alliance with Pakistan and Afghanistan as symbolised by Ahmadinejad's
recent 3 party meeting's also signal a greater solidarity between the regional military
powers. Furthermore,Turkey has broken free from it's shackles of European aspiration
and will no stand idly by as their population see the injustice in Gaza as a source of
humiliation for the Muslim world. America should be a greater friend to Israel by
highlighting it's flaws rather than just being it's banker.
There is increasing scepticism about Israel's unchallenged assertions that they have 300 nuclear warheads.Their policy of nuclear ambiguity has been shattered and is coming under closer analysis given the rising influence of Russia and China. These two superstates have shown with their veto against syrian action that they will not follow America's Israeli led march to war. There is also an increasing hate for the personality of Benjamin Netanyahu as was shown by the exchange between Sarkozy and Obama caught on tape when they though they were off-mic. Our prayer is that his diplomatic failures so hated by President Clinton, do not lead civilisation to war.

Why Israel Won't Attack Iran
Iran, Netanayhu's endless hobby horse. For Bibi Its been a personal obsession that has clouded his judgement for far too long. Firstly Netanyahu has been warning of Iran's capacity to acquire nuclear weapons ' within the next 2-3 years ' for the last 20 years. So the current ratcheting of rhetoric is no surprise in light of the soon to be released IAEA report. When Israel has attacked it's neighbour's nuclear facilities (Iraq's in 1982) it has never preannounced it to the world. To do so would be a military mistake matched only by the disastrous Gaza massacre of 2009 which was televised round the clock to over a billion muslims. Any attack on Iran would not be sanctioned by the US intelligence community who have gone out of their way to tame by making public the nature of Israel's exaggerated claims. An attack on Iran would send the price of oil and gas rocketing and tip the already shaky world economy into depression. Military analysis of a conventional airstrike on Iran's nuclear facilities by computer simulation have shown that they are likely to be ineffective however there is a risk of radiation which could affect Saudi Arabia and Israel itself. The political situation in Syria and Iran do not lend themselves to a foreign power emboldening the incumbents Ahmadinejad and Assad. These protaganists would see a declaration of war as a welcome exit strategy from their domestic woes. Furthermore the Arab Spring has made the position of other muslim countries in the region less predictable. Rulers in countries such as Pakistan and Turkey can no longer afford to ignore the will of their people. The latter point is made more pertinent by the Iraq debacle and the now famous concoction of proof for WMD's. The rise of a resource hungry China and the resultant decline of America's status as the world's only superpower means that Israel no longer has the carte blanche it once did to act with petulant impunity. Furthermore Iran has the capacity to strike back with their investment in rocket technology. Though they are no match for Israel's military might, their allies in south Lebanon and Syria have given them a geo-political bargaining chip. Their is also no evidence of support for a strike from the increasing divided jewish lobby outside Israel. Israel has derived it's might from domination of the US political system which ensures that it receives close to $6 billion in aid from the USA. While a politically savvy African-American president knows better than to cross the israel lobby he will also be mindful that there is growing unease at the amount of foreign aid being doled out abroad when money is tight at home. There are also increasing grassroot movements that are voicing concerns about special interests and how the tiny state of israel manages to receive more in foreign aid than the entire poverty stricken continent of Africa. Ultimately Israel is no more likely to attack Iran than vice-versa. Why? Because these two counries need eachother. The ability to attack Israel for Iran is their best defense against a superpower from making a predatory move on it's resource rich state and for Israel 'the imminent threat' ensures the lucrative $ 6billion dollar every year of foreign aid. Ehud Barak recently mentioned in an interview with the BBC that they don't get to choose their neighbours if they did they would choose Canada. The irony being is that they did choose their neighbours in 1948 and financially the constant antagonism serves them all too well.

Why this stupidity?
Turkey has taken the unprecedented step of calling the raid in international waters 'state sponsored terrorism'. This has not only increased their standing in the Middle East but has complicated America's position as an ally of both countries. So what was Netanyahu thinking? Perhaps he was wanting to divert attention from the recent allegations that Israeli soldiers have been subjecting Palestinian minors to sexual abuse. Or the other recent allegation that Israel supplied the apartheid regime of South Africa with nuclear technology. Another theory is that for Netanyahu to survive politically it needs an antagonist such as Hamas to justify America giving $3 billion annually as foreign aid to Israel. The timing, a day before a meeting with President Obama and given Hamas's waning popularity of late seems to me at least to be a pitch for increase aid. Netanyahu is almost blackmailing the American administration by showing how easily it can bring the region to the brink of war. In this respect it is very similar to the policies of North Korea and it's calculated sinking of a South Korean vessel. Whatever the calculation, bartering for concessions with violence is a dangerous recipe for war.

How Many Mossad agents does it take topple a Government?
Apparently just over eighteen. It seems Netanyahu is back to his old tricks conjuring up once again the throwback political strategies of the seventies. As if the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza streamed live to a global audience wasn't enough
to enrage the world it seems the decision makers in the Israeli government are determined to push the envelope. This is not chutzpah it's just shear stupidity and a fundamental failure to realize that the modern age requires new politics. whichever way you try to look at it this disastrous assassination attempt, coupled with the Gaza massacre, have doubtless jeopardized Israel's future. Why? Because times have changed. For every Israeli advocate there are many more that would argue against their disdain for international law not merely from entrenched partisan positions but because their actions are so morally reprehensible. Given an increasingly educated and angry Muslim demographic (this includes powerful states such as Turkey and Pakistan) Israel can no longer rely on American largess to clean up their dirty work.
Any future Israeli PM must have Rabin's vision to understand that peace is not just desirable but vital for Israel to survive. This anachronistic obfuscation of the peace process cannot continue in an age where information is viral and emotive
videos are infectious. The reason why Netanyahu and his predictable policies belong in the past is that stupidity is never ambiguous- It's just stupid.

Netanyahu becomes PM on the back of Livni's butchery
One wonders what the Israeli electorate were thinking after Kadima a supposed centrist party committed one of the most brutal genocides this century, they have chosen a Prime Minister who believes that Livni did not go far enough. Drunk on the power of getting away with the murder of innocent civilians in what has rightly been dubbed the world's largest open air prison we are left with a very right wing government. Whereas in the past comparisons with the Warsaw ghettos strayed into the realm of hyperbole they now don't do justice to the horrific situation on the ground in Gaza. Helped again by the Israel Lobby this gross violation of human rights raised very few eyebrows in congress and was redacted from the American narrative of history courtesy of the lack of coverage by the American media networks. Netanyahu is one of the few politicians who doesn't believe in a two state solution. Netanyahu having already failed to address the possible 'Iranian threat' when he was in power ten years ago feels that the time is right to return to this old hobby horse. The reality is that Iran has most likely past the threshold of being able to destroy Israel through biological and chemical means if not through nuclear means. As a christian it deeply concerns me that the holy land has fallen into such unholy hands. As Christians we must take some of the blame . The Zionist Lobby within the Christian networks is now preaching the false
gospel of dispensationalism and denying the fact that Our Lord crucified the racial element when he died on the cross. This has led to many Christians being deceived and horrendous policies which sees up to $3billion dollars being transferred to Israel
on an annual basis from the US. This money of course is accompanied with 22 billion dollars worth
of loan guarantees even in these times of financial austerity. This money could be used to foster peace or help prevent the deaths of 30,000 Africans dying everyday from preventable diseases. To make matters worse Netanyahu has chosen the uber-right wing Avigdor Lieberman as his foreign minister. As is the tradition that most Israeli ministers are mired by scandal, Lieberman has been quick off the mark even by Israeli standards. one can only pray that this apartheid government collapses under its own weight of gross inequality and we return to the sanity and desire for middle east peace.

text: The Poop Prisoner's Dilemma: What Do You Do with an Unflushed Toilet?Maureen O'Connor1/09/12 1:32pmFiled to: EtiquettePoopnot afraid to be serviceyFirst PersonBathroomsToiletsflushingBrian moylanBathroom dilemmasPoop prisoner's dilemmaPooptiquetteTweetgFb229EditInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Fifteen minutes ago, I encountered an unflushed turd in the bowl of a workplace toilet. A harmless event that nonetheless evoked kneejerk revulsion and tested my character. Would I step up and bravely flush, or would I flee?Let's weigh the options. Strategy 1: Flush, Then Use Toilet This is what mature adults do. Someone has to flush it, and as the first person on the scene ("first responder") you assume temporary flushing responsibility. The toilet is not tainted; this is why toilets exist, to contain and subsequently dispose of poop. Calm down. Quit squealing "ew." It's the way the system works. Advertisement Strategy 2: Use Toilet, Then Flush Same logic as above, but grosser. Sure, the poo isn't going to leap out and touch you, but do you really want to hang your naked nethers over someone else's butt gunk? No. You do not. Not unless you're some kind of stranger poop fetish freak. (Or maybe an environmentalist.) Strategy 3: Cautionary Toilet Plunge But what if the stray poop is there because the toilet is clogged? And you panic-flush, and it floods the bowl, and poop spills everywhere, and everyone thinks it's your fault because you're the one standing there with your hot little hand on the silver flusher, while a tidal wave of shit swirls at your feet? If you're the cautious sort, you may approach the situation with a plunger in hand. Sponsored Strategy 4: Run But if you are like me, you are neither cautious nor responsible nor a mature adult. In the presence of a human turd of unknown origin, you regress to a barely-verbal fugue state, primitive lizard-brain taking over. Must. Escape. Poop. Choking back giggle/screams, you avail yourself to the nearest cautious, responsible, mature adult. "THERE IS AN UNFLUSHED POOP IN ONE OF THE BATHROOMS," you type at Brian Moylan. "oh shit which one i'll do it," he replies. Brian walks to the bathroom. He flushes. You wonder, briefly, whether anyone saw your tag-team effort, and now thinks you are poop fetish freaks together. When Brian returns he nods slightly to signal that the deed has been done. Advertisement Sand through the hour glass, pee through the toilet bowl, these are the bathroom dilemmas of our lives.Reply229 repliesLeave a reply
