This is a dunk contest that, on paper, needed LeBron James. It needed a face, a buzz.
But LeBron is out, still not 100 percent after his sprained ankle, and anyway the dunk contest isn't played on paper.
That's why, when we take a fresh look at the four remaining contestants -- three of whom are nearly faceless, nearly anonymous -- we see a lot to like. We see serious sleeper potential, starting with two 2004 first-round draft picks who may be unknown but who have a household name: Smith. Common name, uncommon hops.
Now that King James says he can't go, here the four who would be Dunk King:
Josh Smith, Atlanta Hawks
If someone in this contest is primed to create buzz, it's this kid. Jumps all over the gym. Had 10 blocks one game in December, from the guard position. Almost makes Hawks games worth watching.
It's elevation first and last with him. He specializes in a left-handed, long-armed, women-and-children-scurrying-for-cover tomahawk thing that looks like it ought to be silhouetted on a downtown high-rise wall somewhere. His hops seem limitless, like he's always on an upward trajectory, bound not so much by gravity as his will to throw down. They're giggle-hops; the ones that make you laugh and smile just thinking about the through-line between Dr. J's past and Josh Smith's future.
Throw in the fact that he has 'Nique -- two-time winner Dominique Wilkins -- whispering in his ear, and you have the post-LBJ favorite to win the competition.
J.R. Smith, New Orleans Hornets
He's the other outrageously athletic 19-year-old straight-outta-high-school rookie named Smith who plays for a southern NBA team just hoping to break 20 wins. (This is the one with the shooting range to match his vertical lift.)
J.R. might not get quite as high as Josh does, but he does more when he's up there. When they went heads-up in the dunk competition at the 2004 McDonald's All-America All-Star Game, the difference between J.R. and Josh was creativity and complexity in flight.
Don't get me wrong, Josh has moves (his knees-to-rim dip and dunk is a quick, explosive thing), but J.R. has a little more hang. He had a dunk in the McDonald's comp where he kissed the ball on the left side of the backboard and came around to dunk it on the right. He's got that thing, whatever it is, that allows him to innovate in the air, to linger just a half-beat longer than seems possible.
Watch his lower body, too. With his legs, sometimes tucked and sometimes splayed, J.R. echoes Jordan more than anyone else I've ever seen. If he doesn't try to do too much, and end up missing, he's in the finals against Josh.
Chris Andersen, New Orleans Hornets
Chris got jobbed last year. He was low-balled on a sweet two-handed windmill, and shorted on a head-to-the-rim reverse. He didn't even make the finals, and Freddie Jones, who played it pretty straight and would up winning the whole thing, did.
So there's a chance Chris comes in to this throwdown like a power-forward scorned. There's a chance he's been working up clever dunks in a remote location, somewhere, like Rocky doing rope pull-ups. If that's the case, if he comes in angry and looking to take names, he's got a shot at a surprise berth in the finals, I'd say. He might need someone else to blow a dunk to get there, but he's got hops and a shot to make noise.
Amare Stoudemire, Phoenix Suns
Thunder. Rolling thunder, coming in from on high. He's the perfect in-game dunker for the Suns. He punctuates everything they do and makes it not just quick, but powerful.
But historically, the contest rewards innovation more than pure power, and unless he decides to go Chocolate Thunder on us, and roll Bill Robinzine out to catch some glass in his grill, and shatter a backboard or two, he's a good bet to be sitting courtside with a handheld video camera when the title is decided.
So if you're not sure who to put your money on, think Smith. Josh, that is.

As the Liberal government rushes a bill legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide through Parliament, thousands gathered in Ottawa May 12 for the annual National March for Life. The march's focal point has always been "the threat to life at its earliest stages through abortion," Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto said in his homily at a pro-life Mass at Notre Dame Cathedral.

ROME - Women consecrated in religious life and engaged in apostolic work must realize their vocation is about being prophetic witnesses of God's love, superiors general from around the world were told. They should not see their mission as one of building and maintaining great institutions, speakers told almost 900 superiors of religious orders at the assembly of the International Union of Superiors General.
Sister Dr. Zoe Bernatsky brings a multitude of talents to her new role as academic dean of Newman Theological College. One of the most notable is her attitude. "It's been exciting," she said in an interview. "I love to learn, love to pray, love to work with people. And I have had great mentors along the way and many, many blessings and opportunities."
TORONTO - The inspiration and wisdom of L'Arche founder Jean Vanier teaches us not only how to become more human, but also how to be people of faith in a world wary of religion, says author and academic Michael Higgins. Higgins describes his 110-page biography as a brief introduction to the life of one of the last century's most influential writers and thinkers, and "a spiritual mentor to millions irrespective of religion." Higgins spoke to about 100 people present for the Toronto launch of his new biography of the founder of the L'Arche movement.
NEW HAVEN, CONN. - The Melkite Catholic archbishop of Aleppo, Syria, has thanked the Knights of Columbus and other organizations for speaking out about the genocide of Syrian Christians and other religious minorities. Speaking May 2 with a heavy but hopeful heart at a news conference at the Knights' headquarters, Archbishop Jean-Clement Jeanbart also asked for support for his war-torn city.
With rockets falling daily on the Syrian capital of Damascus, life for Father Issa Mammar and his family was becoming unbearable. The civil war, which started in 2011, was lasting too long. The married Melkite Catholic priest and his wife Rima were worried about the safety of their children, Jean-Pierre, 13, and Anne Marie, 5. Terrorists often target schools and civilian areas and Mammar felt his family was in danger. So he started planning to leave his war-torn country.
If we don't go out as witnesses of Jesus and tell stories about our experiences with him, then our faith will become extinct. So says Father Joseph Salihu, a Nigerian priest currently serving in Spruce Grove. Salihu said God works in our lives, and "We need to be aware of what he is doing and give glory to him when he does it." Salihu, associate pastor at Holy Trinity Parish, was the speaker at the charismatic prayer breakfast at the Chateau Louis Conference Centre May 14. Members of a prayer group at Holy Trinity accompanied him to the breakfast.
Some Vancouver-area Catholics are working hard to repair ties with First Nations people after the close of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. "I've asked them to look at me as their worker. It's their Church. I'm only doing the things the Church wants me to do, and what they want me to do," said Deacon James Meskas. When Meskas was ordained in January, he was tasked with providing pastoral care to two First Nations communities near his home in Agassiz, B.C.
One of the most frequently asked questions in Paul Flaman's recently-released book, Sex, Love and Marriage, is "What do you think?" It's a different approach for a Catholic textbook on sexual and marital morality, one that cuts against the widespread belief that the Church wants to dictate moral precepts to an increasingly rebellious or uninterested public. Flaman, soon to be raised to the level of a full professor of theology at the University of Alberta's St. Joseph's College, says the book developed out of more than 30 years of teaching undergraduate students on the topics of sex, love and marriage.

"One of America's Great Natural Landmarks" Top 5 Page for this destination Devils Tower by mrclay2000
Devils Tower Travel Guide: 91 reviews and 279 photos
This wonderful structure, the odd remnants of an ancient volcano, sits atop a prairie land that is gently carved by the Belle Fourche River and complemented by similar but much smaller towers known as the Little Missouri Buttes.
This is rattlesnake country by day, mule deer country by night. During the same time Devils Tower changes colors with the sun, from a glow of orange/red at sunrise, to yellow by mid-morning, to silver/gray/white under the midday sun, to an awesome ebony silhouette after nightfall. If you are fortunate enough to visit after dark, when the sun has disappeared but still affords a glow at the horizon, the Tower's magnitude dominates the landscape by twilight much more so than by day.
No view of the Tower is the same. The tour around even at a leisurely pace takes less than an hour. Watch for climbers and ladders going to the top, note the fallen boulders at the base, and keep to the path.
- Pros:Views are everchanging, close enough to touch
- Cons:Over two hours away from closest other attraction, Mt Rushmore
- In a nutshell:Not complete without visit to Mt Rushmore

It must be a great experience to see this devils tower
Nice photos. I read Devils Tower celebrated its 100th Anniversary as a National Monument. Oh, and btw, see any UFOs there Mike? lol.
Heading this way in September so many thanks for the helpful tips. Will definitely check out Crazy Horse.
Nice pictures. I need to get back here someday - we really rushed through the park :(
I went to Devil's Tower years ago. It really is amazing! Nice tips!
Interesting stuff, especially about Crazy Horse which I recall seeing on TV one time.
I remember seeing Devils Tower when I was 10 in 1948 when our parents drove us out to Colorado to visit our grandmother. Didn't get close to it.
Snakes! Why did you have to mention Snakes? I couldn't find any of those ancient ladders...BANG!! Oh sorry, you said don't shoot....LOL
Awesome place... Mother Nature always surprises us. The pictures show the Tower... but where is the Devil? ;-)))
a nice counterpoint to the circus at mt rushmore, or the barreness that lies ahead on I-90 until you get to Buffalo, sorry Gillette. Good photos and tips on how to take them.

I picked this dryer because I have limited space and this was one of the only ones that would fit in my closet. I also have the matching washer and wanted to complete the set. It works fairly well although I do not use the automatic drying function because it takes too long. An average load takes about 40 minutes to dry using the timer function vs. over an hour with automatic. I do not like the design of the lint catcher....it doesn't seem to collect a lot of lint and when I open the door, lint flies out onto my floor. Also, when pulling clothes out, lint sometimes sticks to the clothing. Another problem is the alarm to tell you clothes are done is extremely loud. I have it on the lowest possible setting and I can hear it go off when I am anywhere in the house. Drum is very spacious and can fit a lot of items. Overall it seems to work well despite the above mentioned design complaints.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best I've used
By Porter7656
from Las Vegas, NV, United States
Awesome dryer highly reliable and ease of use a five yr old uses it
Only lasted a little over a year
By tonniesmaximus
from Wellsville, UT, United States
This dryer worked okay for about a year. Shortly thereafter it took 3 to 4 hours to dry any load of clothes. Since it was no longer under warranty, we had to pay to have someone come out and fix it. He replaced the thermostat and other parts and it still doesn't work properly. I thought GE would last longer than a year.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Washington City Council members have agreed to amend the city's new smoking ordinance to accommodate a 144-year-old Washington manufacturing firm.
After a discussion at Tuesday evening's meeting, the council directed City Counselor Mark Piontek to prepare an amendment that would let the Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe factory allow smoking in part of the building only for "demonstration" of its product.

L1 (your native language) and L2 (e.g. English if this isn't your mother tongue)
"Unless the teacher understands how the student is using his speech organs in producing a native language sound and what he should be doing to reproduce the foreign language sound acceptably, he cannot help the student beyond a certain stage of earnest but inaccurate imitation." [Wilga Rivers - Teaching Foreign Language Skills]
Can your teacher tell you how many phonemes there are in the English language and how to use your organs of articulation to produce these sounds?
Teachers who have studied the sound system of your L1 will also be in a better position to help you with common mistakes in L2 (e.g. English).
I have added pages on the 12 English Monophthongs and the 8 English Diphthongs. The page on monophthongs shows the fixed tongue positions (the height of the front or the back of the tongue and the degree of retraction) for producing these sounds in Received Pronunciation. The tongue travels between some of these fixed positions to produce the diphthongs. Learners often find the 5 long English vowel sounds and the diphthongs difficult to produce, since learners' native languages more commonly feature most of the short English vowel sounds.
Word lists to practise English diphthongs: introduction | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 |
New material on Consonant Clusters
"Kissing Consonants" © Ted Power 2007---------Introduction
When there are three or more consonants together, native speakers do not always produce as many consonant sounds. For example, the final consonant cluster in the word "fifths" is usually reduced to the last two consonant phonemes. Good pronunciation materials need to include practice of elision (missing phonemes out) and assimilation (a change in the quality of the phoneme - perhaps to a different phoneme altogether!).
"KISSING CONSONANTS" practises final consonant clusters, since lists of initial consonant clusters can easily be found in a dictionary, and consonant strings at the beginnings of words generally cause fewer difficulties.
Full word lists (each link is a separate page)-------for consonant clusters beginning with:
|/ m /
|/ p /
|/ b /
|/ f /
|/ v /
|/ θ /
|/ ð /
|/ n /
|/ t /
|/ d /
|/ s /
|/ z /
|/ l /
|/ r /
|/ ʧ /
|/ ʤ /
|/ ʃ /
|/ ʒ /
|/ j /
|/ ŋ /
|/ k /
|/ g /
Some English consonant sounds, including many alveolar ones, change into (or towards) different phonemes when followed by certain other sounds. Speakers assimilate to avoid awkward sound combinations which would lead to loss of oral fluency with utterances sounding broken up and clumsy. Some native English speakers, including those who have been to top schools, are ignorant of the differences between written and spoken English and attempt to speak as they write. The remedy is Assimilation Practice. The links below provide learners with short phrases where assimilation occurs:

Went to dealer for oil change today.
The advisor told me the differential axle seal is leaking (a wet spot, according to him).
It is leaking very very slowly, but he ordered the parts ($700 job according to him) for me to go in next week. It is covered under powertrain warranty. Thank God!
Guys, keep an eye on yours if you got an AWD.

Student organisations welcome notice to BU
By Express News Service - BANGALORE
Published: 14th January 2013 08:58 AM
Last Updated: 14th January 2013 08:58 AM
The Progressive Students-Youth Forum (PSYF), a confederation of left-wing student organisations, has welcomed the state government's move to question the Bangalore University (BU) Syndicate resolution on the report of the Task Force on BEd colleges.
A press conference was jointly addressed by office bearers of Student Federation of India, Vidyarthi Janata Dal, Dalit Students' Federation, National Students' Union of India and Democratic Youth Federation of India on Sunday.
The university was served a show-cause notice to explain the Syndicate resolution that action would be taken against erring colleges based on the Local Inquiry Committee (LIC) reports, instead of the Task Force report.
"We also want the government to immediately remove government nominees who are not eminent educationists as per Section 28(G) of the Karnataka State Universities Act," a press release from the organisations said.

Dish Fires Back to Clearwire Complaining About Sprint Comments
The battle over Clearwire is getting a bit testy between Dish Network and Sprint Nextel.
On Tuesday, Dish's chairman Charlie Ergen sent a letter to Clearwire complaining about comments Sprint made about Dish's bid. This bit of fighting comes even as Dish attempts to convince Sprint that Dish's offer for Sprint is better than Softbank's offer.
In its letter, Dish alleges Sprint has made "misleading" statements and decries Sprint's arguments as defying logic and being "simply untrue."
"We remain confident that the DISH proposal is both actionable and clearly superior to the proposed Sprint merger," Ergen wrote. "More importantly, it also provides a meaningful alternative to the significant group of your minority stockholders that remain opposed to the Sprint merger while providing a clear path for Clearwire to become a self-sustaining company."
Sprint on Monday had sent Clearwire a letter telling the board it wouldn't vote for Dish's offer and therefore the offer wasn't "actionable." Sprint also said a portion of Dish's proposal "runs afoul of Delaware law."
More In Clearwire
"Having invested billions I am sure you understand why Sprint is not willing to give up rights that were fundamental to the investment it made," Sprint wrote to Clearwire.
Dish has been tough on Sprint even while attempting to woo it. In its bid with Softbank, Dish has launched an aggressive advertising campaign raising questions of national security risks if Softbank is allowed to buy Sprint. Softbank has called the charges "desperate xenophobic measures."

2:00 pm
advice. that's it for today's
nd d you can follow the doctors on facebook and twitter. media buzz with howie kurtz, right now. take care. on the buzz meter this sunday, a president who's disengaged from the business of governing. a president who didn't tell the truth about keeping your health plan. that indictment covering not just some conservative critics but from the mainstream media. is this a turning point for the coverage of barack
and an indelible image he won't be able to erase or just a rough patch for the administration? plus, a conversation with barbara walters about "the view." why she's saying away from political stories. >> "the view" is a daytime show. a lot of on people do threat their news from "the view," but it's supposed to be
2:01 pm
entertaining, upbeat. i didn't think the shutdown was either entertaining or upbeat. >> and why she insists she'll finally hang it up. plus, jon stewart makes fun of me for suggesting his mockery of
care actually matters. >> don't act like us making jokes about a certain program or president is evidence that that politician or issue has reached some kind of tipping point for action. >> nice try, john. why he's trying to have it both ways. i'm howard kurtz and this is "media buzz." if you had to crystallize the emerging media narrative about president
to reduce it to its essence, it would be this
2:02 pm
opening montage from the oh lily factor. >> i don't k >> i s -- >> i don't know. >> i am not sure. closely. i didn't even know. he's indicated he was not aware. certainly i was not. >> but this is not just the president getting eviscerated on fox news. "the wall street journal" reporting that according to an unnamed senior u.s. official,
didn't know his own nsa was spying on angela merkel and other american allies. >> the white
says the president did not know merkel's phone was targeted. >> is it conceivable? is it believable that the president would not know about surveillance of a head of state of a close american ally? >> then it was nbz's lisa meyers reporting on what the administration knew three years ago about the president's promise. you heard it over and over that those who liked their insurance could keep their plan. >> when you add those two parts together, you get more than 40%
2:03 pm
to 730% of folks in the individual market cannot keep their policies even if they want to and the administration knew that. >>
for his part is saying some critics of the program are being grossly misleading. tim carney from the washington examiner and juan williams, a columnist for the hill and lauren ashburn are joining us. lauren, why are the media engaging this? >> i think president
has lost the benefit of the doubt with the washington media and it started when the department of justice started spying on reporters. and i think -- >> and he said he didn't know. >> and then said i didn't know that it happened. and so now it's become the i don't know guy. the i don't know king as opposed to the person who is leaving the country.
2:04 pm
then it moves on to the bloggers, then to the media. one person reports that and it sets the tone for the rest of the media. >> tim carney, i can see you thinking i told you so. >> sometimes@of the on my friends are banging their heads against the wall even on
care. we said during the debate, you are not going to be able to keep your plan. the point of this law is to outlaw certain plans. >> so you think the media is late to the game? >>. >> i think the media -- >> until the program takes effect, you can't be absolutely certain in advantage that it's goes to spin out. >> the cbo knew it would be 40% to 60% of the congressional budget. and the white
wanted to outlaw certain plans that they
2:05 pm
didn't like. that was the point of the law. >> isn't to a certain degree the piling on, the president is down in the polls and the portrait of the day is showing, depicting this president being out of the loop on lots of things? >> anytime you can see the king has no clothes, that's very good ford media because then it senses the media is in the forefront at the point of making news with a new analysis of this president. >> i wasn't expecting an x-rated image here. >> even in the analysis we just heard about health care, look, the fact is that it affect aes small percentage of market. it's 40%, 60% of 5%, so 95% not being affected. >> still different from what the president said because he didn't qualify the promise we heard again and again. >> but i think the big news here is the left turning on president
. and every time the left does this, and they've done it before, it makes news. and it's particularly newsy because we live in such a pol polarized environment.
2:06 pm
>> lauren, some of these scandals blow over. is the press now, though, changing president
's image in a permanent way for the rest of his term and the way that george -- and could it be a replay of george w. bush never being able to recover from the be backel of katrina? >> president
has been seen up until maybe this year into his presidency as someone who is detail oriented, cerebral, speaks in paragraphs as a college professor would. and now, as i said earlier, he's become the i don't know leader. and as president bush with katrina, he was the decider. and then what happens? then we had that shot that the white
released from the helicopter of him sitting in a cushy chair looking down on katrina, seeing the millions of people who no longer have homes.
2:07 pm
and then he said something about the head of the emergency management agency. heck of a job, you're doing a heck of a job, brownie. when it was a complete disaster. moefts moments like this in presidencies can define the second term. >> i want to pick up about the partisans on both sides. let's take a look. these are not just people on the left or the right. let's take a look at what ed schultz had to say on msnbc. >> i think that network reporters throughout the entire industry may be caught in a dilemma that
care is so positive, i think that network reporters and people on tv are having a hard time saying something nice about it or positive about it because they might be viewed as journalistically compromised. >> tim carney. >> i think that's what laborious. i think the fact that people were told, promised, again and
2:08 pm
again, you would be able to keep your health care plan and now they're not doing it, that this website simply does not work -- >> but let's pick on ed schultz directly. he says the program, i guess he would say it has some glitches, but eventual it's it's going to work well with for most people. but the media are afraid to say anything nice about it because they're -- >> no, i don't see that at all. i see the opposite that they're still playing he said she said too much when the verdict is so strong in one direction. >> no, i don't think all. i think there are lots of liberals, and i think the media is liberal who are embarrassed. everybody put so much into helping and supporting and saying the republicans are trying to obstruct you and destroy you and fox news is piling on you. all of a sudden you roll out this thing and it doesn't work. what did you do, you big doofus? that's the big point. carter is the guy who is worried about the tennis court, a
2:09 pm
president who really talking about put on a sweater instead of deal with the economy, reagan is the guy who can't remember and has to have postcards. this could be this president's marker. >> the do on ofus analogy is not one i was expecting. >> i didn't say doo on fus. he did. >> people out there say the press is still in love with president
. do you agree. >> i completely agree. go back to may of 2013 when the department of justice started the surveillance program. you know, they attacked fox news's james rosen and they said he could have been a criminal coconspirator, 20 reporters at the ap had their e-mails and their private phone records read. >> so you're saying this is stemming towards resentment towards the attack on the president? >> no, i don't think so it's just resentment. i think what's happening is that he is -- it turned the tenor of
2:10 pm
the media and it turned the tenor of the coverage. because all of a sudden, the president is attacking the media. but he says he doesn't know that he was attacked. >> that was a key moment, but i also think sort of if idea that the back and forth in the white
press room is not just sort of the standard political back and forth. but if jay carney is going out there and he's saying things that look like bald faced lies, these reporters just throw up their arms and say what were we doing? so i think the trust and honesty has been broken. >> the a ip this week said we can't even get honest pictures of this president. i think that plays in, howie, to something that is going on with the press in this town. we are managed to such an extent by the white
and everybody else. but this administration has taken it to another level in terms of media management and access to this president just about nonexistent. so i read this week they have some columnists in here and there, typically people
2:11 pm
favorable, very limited, very small. but is the president reaching out to the larger media? no. >> well, then you have front page analysis in the "new york times" where the buck stops, some see a bystander and even dana millback wants
to know when did he know it? answer, not much and about a minute ago. and it's hard, just to briefly touch on this, the nsa spying, i thought maybe the president was engaging in plausible deniability. but for him to say he didn't know foreign allies were having their phones tapped, it can be hard to swallow. either he didn't know or he did know and he's not being totally forthcoming about it. >> and now we have to imagine he might be being dishonest because he knew you wouldn't be able to keep your health care plan. >> and he also knew a great reported piece by amy goldstein where this show a memo going
2:12 pm
from a white
consultant to an administration saying they're running the biggest start up in the world and saying that the economic team and the health care advisers lobbied for the president to appoint an outside czar with expertise in business and they didn't. >> they didn't have anybody who knew how to run this thing. this new book, "doubling down" is getting a lot of attention. the book itself was leaked to the "new york times" and washington post. now there are excerpts and it has this anecdote that everybody was picking up on is there was polling and focus groups down to see whether or not vice president biden should be dumped from the ticket in favor of hillary clinton. it was amazing to me -- it's a very good bit of reporting. what's amazing to me is why it was leaked from the
knowing it would hurt joe biden. when we come back, all those stories about all those people losing their health insurance. are the media oversimplifying
2:13 pm

2:16 pm
. interesting piece in politico saying despite the
care screw-ups, there has been a calculated sabotage of republicans by every step. is someone in media trying to shift blame away from the white
on this? >> yeah. but it's because the media always says, we'll tell you both sides of the story, but they don't say, wait a second, this is being totally distorted. hold on a second. stop and think about how much energy and push the republican res putting in to try to stop
2:17 pm
this. think about the 30 governs who have set up exchanges. they've got groups of people going town to town like
care is terrible. every republican hates
care. >> that's not in dispute. but in terms of how we cover this business and they have to find new plans, shouldn't we include the fact that some people might end one a better deal? >> i think we should and we will, and i think the biggest problem has been that there hasn't been enough specification, all these plans being lost. so far, they're on the individual market and that is not being made clear. people who get their health insurance outside their employers. everyone is out there saying -- >> congratulation toes tim for telling the truth. he's embarrassed to support the president's plan, but he told
2:18 pm
the truth. >> take him at his word. all right. there's been a lot of stories about individual people who have lost their current plan, one by cbs's jan corcoran. i want to play a little bit of it and ask you about it on the other side. >> that includes 56-year-old diane barrett. last month, she received a letter from blue cross blue shield informing her as of january 2014 she would lose her current plan. she pays $54 a month. the new plan would run $581 more a month. >> now, i found that story to be over simplified, because the further interviews with diane barrett showed what she has now is a junk plan. it doesn't cover hospitalization costs. maybe that's what she wants, but she also could get into a plan that was maybe more expensive, but not ten times expensive, cheaper than she perhaps realized. what do you think of this whole approach of zeroing in on people
2:19 pm
like diane barrett? >> this is a simple go-to form. you take one person and use that person to highlight the problems. it makes for much better television. but i think we owe the viewers more than that and it's hard to do. it's so much easier to sit down and interview a person one-on-one and say yes, this is bad, and made it black and white. the "new york times" had an article this week where they had three people and they compared all three and plans and their detectables and how much they would want up paying more than their own plans. >> yeah, but you know what happens? the producers and all the media, they rush out and say gets somebody who is having a crisis and we'll blow it up. in many cases then, people go behind them and say this person is eligible for a subsidy and this person is getting a better
2:20 pm
plan. >> they're paying more, they're getting more, and sometimes they're getting less and getting things they don't want to pay for. you get this lush prescription drug plan when you would be happy getting the generic but you have to pay for the name brands is part of what happens under
care. >> i agree it is fair to focus on this because of the president's claim you can keep your plan. but this is the heart of this base and instead it seems to me, well, you got kicked off your plan. you're going to pay more and not get into the sometimes confusing details. >> it's black and white. people -- you have to understand that all of these stories are not black and white. there are many individual stories out there that when put together can show the whole of the puzzle. >> i think the larger debate here, fully ignored by the media, is about, well, wait a second, is the status quo acceptable with so many people
2:21 pm
underinsured or uninsured, and where do we go from here? >> it's not compared to what it was before. lauren, tim, thanks so much for a wonderful discussion. up next, the british phone hacking trial is under way. i'll tell you why that matters. plus, an exclusive one-on-one sfwru with barbara walters and her career, her retirement and the success of the "the view." >> a lot of programs have copied us. i've tuned in and everybody is sitting around a desk and everybody is smiling and i everybody is smiling and i think, "the view." when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals: help the gulf recover and learn from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i can tell you - safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, whe experts watch over all drilling activity twenty-four-seven. and we're sharing what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. our commitment has never been stronger.

who became the top spokesman for david cameron. murdoch owns the parent company of fox news. brooks and cohlson deny doing anything wrong. now, prosecutors said brooks and cohlson were allegedly part of a conspiracy which paid more than $600,000 to politicians and celebrities cell phones. prosecutors disclosing that three former journalists for news of the world pleaded guilty on that and they said brooks approved, quote, quite large sums of money to public officials to buy information for the paper. and that's what ultimately this case is about. a troubling coziness has been developed between the politicians of the country and the reporters who are paid to report on it.

a return after sandy forced its cancellation. a runner from kenya crossed the finish like, defending his title. there were 51,000 at going of the year with security all along the marathon route especially at the starting and the finishing line. >> now, back to "media buzz." b at the top of the on hour for america's news headquarters. it's hard to believe, but barbara walters is in her final season at "the view." first at nbc's "today show." then at abc, co-host of 2020 and countless special and a woman who has interviewed presidents and prime ministers and every celebrity on the planet just about. but i think i've detected a change in tone in her highly popular daytime show, so i began with that when i visited the
2:31 pm
manhattan offices of "the view." barbara walters, thank you for letting us into your luxurious dressing room. >> with no window, yeah. >> nice curtains. >> we cover everything up with curtains. >> during the national melodrama over the national shutdown,
care, i didn't see much of that on "the view." has washington gotten too boring? >> "the view" is a daytime show. a lot of people get their news from "the view," but it's supposed to be entertaining, upbeat. i didn't think the shutdown was either entertaining or upbeat. >> some people may have had it was entertaining, but it was anything but upbeat. you do breast implants, the kardashians, you did one on doing it on a first date. >> i don't remember that. certainly not talking about me. "the view" will take subjects on the news and people do watch it and if they haven't seen the news in the morning, they get
2:32 pm
their news. but that's not what the show is about. when i created it, it was supposed to be different women of on different opinions, maybe different generations getting together and talking the way you wish you could at home because you're too busy doing the dishes. it was not a news show, per se. >> but in the past, you've had a political impact during campaigns. >> we have. we've had the president on, we've been john mccain on, but it was not a political show. the fact that you can have a daytime show and do news worthy subjects, that was what was new. and also the fact that you could have women together and now we have an occasional man, the fact -- >> very nice of you to open up the gates for those of us of the other gender. >> every once in a while we try to give you a little something. but the fact that you can have
2:33 pm
primarily women discussing, arguing, disagreeing, you know, live, that's what was new about this show. and now a lot of programs have copied us. i tune in and everybody is sitting around a desk and everybody is talking and smiling and i think, "the view." >> i guess that makes you have to wor work hard he because you have competition in the franchise you basically created. >> i guessdy create "the view." but -- >> and now i turn you on and i see everybody from katie, ellen, oprah has her own channel, but in 1976, you became the first female coanchor of a news cast and you were miserable. >> well, it was not my finest time. i -- harry reisner, a fine news man, did not want a partner. a. b, if he was going to have a partner, he certainly didn't want a woman. so i had the distinction of being the first female network
2:34 pm
news caster, but i was a failure. and it was a terrible period in my life. i thought i was drowning with no life preserver. i was at that point a single mother. it was a very tough time. and it's taken a long time for a woman to be accepted as a news anchor. my wonderful friend, diane sawyer, is. >> i think you've bounced back very well. >> no, i'm okay. >> is there anything that bothers you about d.c.'s current dysfunctional culture or just the intensity of the criticism of president
, whether you agree with him on everything or not? >> look, with the add vice president of cable, everybody has an opinion. what bothers me in a separate way is that there are no news magazines any more, except for
2:35 pm
"60 minutes." which is in a protected time period, which means you cannot put a drama opposite or a miss america opposite, you know what i'm saying. >> you were a staple on "2020" for so many years. "2020" is not the news magazine it was. it's much more theme and crime oriented and so on. the newsman magazine, per se, doesn't exist. so that the kinds of interviews that i did, i would probably put them on good morning america. we don't have the same programs and the same need for those in-depth political interviews that we did have. >> you say that was sad because it was your bread and butter. >> you could do it on your show. you were blessed. >> but is one of the reasons why you decided to move on from "20/20" because it wasn't the same show? >> it is why i -- >> are less political.
2:36 pm
>> i had done "20/20" for 25 years. and i did feel that from what i wanted to do, it was not the same show. and i have "the view" which gives me the opportunity to get opinions and do news stories. i've been on television forever. and i love it but i'm not going to do it forever. >> i'm going to save that for the kicker. >> i wondered when it was going to come up. >> you've had some turnover this season with joy behar and elizabeth hazardel beck moving on. is it hard to create a new panel because so much on your program depends on chemistry. >> the chemistry is good. the chemistry is different. inny mccathy brings such light and fun to the show. >> i was watching one morning when you said to jenny mccarthy, you brighten up the show, we love having you on. and it seems to me that you were responding to some of the criticism out there that she's
2:37 pm
not connecting to the audience. >> i think the criticism about her was unfair. and it had to do with personal views. >> her views, she's knot made no secret of advocating for "the view" is that most scientists think childhood vaccines do not kaut cause autism. >> i think that was a root of some of the criticism. it's not a discussion we've had on "the view." i chose whoopi goldberg to be on "the view. "on "and the chemistry on the show is important. it does have to -- it's not just four people arguing or five people arguing with each other. it's the different in the viewes and the difference in the things that we feel deeply about. and i'm very proud of the show. i think that it -- i think it was new. now it's being copied. that's great. but it still is -- it has its own distinction. >> is it a challenge for you when rosy o'donnell and joy
2:38 pm
behar leaves and you have to reinvent it with a new season? >> each one had its own place. and when i wanted whoopi, and i did, there were people who said no, no, she's not going to be right. and we should have so-and-so and so-and-so. so you take a chance. and i'm very proud of the fact that it did work out. and i think we've been a little daring. we started, as i remember, with meredith vieira and i think it -- i think it helped to make meredith the wonderful star that she is. t "the view" has been the bouncing off point for a lot of people. joy behar is no longer on the program, but joy has a whole career in standup. we have sherry shepherd on. she's absolutely wonderful. elisabeth hasselbeck left us and now she's on fox. so i'm very proud of the people that -- i mean, i didn't create them. did i help to launch them? yeah been and that makes me feel
2:39 pm
good. >> you're like a broadway producer. >> no, you know what? i have always been a big booster of other women. i have always worked with other women. and if i have any legacy, that's it. and i'm very proud of that. >> all right. i said i was going to safe this for the end. so you have announced to the world that this is your last season. was that related to some of the health problems you were having? >> no, no, no. no, my shelth absolutely fine. >> we're happy to hear that. >> and the operation i had was two years ago. and then i had chicken pox after that. at my age, that was pretty silly to have chicken pox. i want to leave while y still want to interview me. i want to leave -- >> i will always want to interview you. >> i want to leave when people will say, i will miss her. i don't want to be on so long that they say, is she still on? and you sort of have to know whether to go. this doesn't mean that i won't maybe produce something. this doesn't mean that i will never do a television show.
2:40 pm
but i -- i just felt it was time. i have no regrets about that. i feel okay about that. >> you still love to do it. but i'm thinking, you know, come the spring, you're going to be having so much fun and you're going to say, well, maybe one more season. >> no, i -- you know, i remember -- and i love frank sinatra. and i remember that he wasn't going to sick any more, and then he did. and then he did. and then he did another concert and another and another. i don't want that to be me. when i go, i will go. will i ever do another program? sure. will there ever be another opportunity? i feel great. okay. but i don't want it to be she's still doing it, she's still grinding it out. that's an unhappy feeling for me. >> so this is the swan song. >> yeah. >> barbara walters, thank you so much for sitting down with us here. >> my pleasure. thank you. barbara is no frank sintara.

DALLAS (AP) - Telephone interpreters at Parkland Memorial
Hospital are a growing effort to connect with patients in their own
language throughout the hospital.
On-the-spot interpreters are accessible through about 1,000
cordless, headset and dual-handset devices at Dallas County's
general hospital. They bridge language barriers that could keep
more and more non-English-speaking patients from getting an
accurate diagnosis or proper medical attention.
Nationwide, the Census Bureau estimates 24 million people over
the age of 5 speak no or limited English, making it likely many
will need language services when they get sick.
Parkland's phones are a response to a 40 percent increase in
demand for interpretation services at Parkland over the past two
years. There are at least 77 languages, including Spanish,
Vietnamese, Korean and Arabic.

Motor sport is so often overshadowed by other sports and
often barely gets a mention in most forms of news.
I understand that Nascar has the largest following of fans in
the world (for any sporting event) and is spectacular to
watch (or view).
I truly appreciated being able to read about the Daytona

Best Meteor Shower of the Year: December 13-14. Shower the People You Love with Stars!Laura Mayes
Stargazers! Get ready! You are in for a treat, as the annual Geminid meteor shower is set to peak in the early hours of December 14, 2010. According to The AP, astronomers think that it will be the best meteor shower of the year. Keep reading for optimal view time, tricks, and tips on how to see the best stars.
Photo from NASA Science A Geminid meteor. Image credit: Jimmy Westlake
Comet of Origin: 3200 Phaethon
Radiant: constellation Gemini
Active: Dec. 4-16, 2010
Peak Activity: Night of Dec 13-14, 2010
Peak Activity Meteor Count: Approximately 50 meteors per hour
Time of Optimal Viewing: 2 a.m.
Meteor Velocity: 35 kilometers (22 miles) per second
Note: Generally, the Geminids or August's Perseids provide the best meteor shower show of the year. Geminids are usually considered the best opportunity for younger viewers because the show gets going around 9 or 10 p.m.
The best place to observe the Geminid meteor shower (or any meteor shower for that matter), is somewhere dark, away from light pollution, and with the moon out of the field of vision. The less light visible, the more brilliant the meteor shower will be.

I'd love some feedback on my site (which is being developed) at http://www.sonoranhouse.com/newblog.
My index.php has been assigned to a page instead of a post. How do I go about displaying the index.php while a page is designated as the front page of the site?
If I go to /2007 I get an archive of all articles from 2007, but I'd rather have the most recent thread show up. Ultimately, I'd like to create a graphic with a link to the "news" or "posts" in the header that clicks through to the most recent posts. Thanks!
