"A Star Is Born": Fox Swoons Over Mitch Daniels
Fox figures gushed over Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels' Republican response to the State of the Union, with Chris Wallace claiming that "a star is born." Others praised Daniels' address as "poetic," "funny," "strong," and "quite impressive."
Fox Figures React To Daniels' SOTU Response: "A Star Is Born"
Chris Wallace: "A Star Is Born." During Fox Broadcasting's State of the Union coverage, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace said that Daniels' response was a "strong speech" and that "some of these responses from Republicans and Democrats fall flat; some of them, like [Daniels'], you'd say a star is born." Wallace concluded: "I think some people are going to be looking at that speech and saying, 'Why isn't he running for president?'" [Fox Broadacasting Co.'s State of the Union coverage, 1/24/12 [1], via Media Matters]
Charles Krauthammer: "That Was One Of The Best Speeches I've Heard As A Response To The State Of The Union." During Fox News' State of the Union coverage, Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer said of Daniels' speech:
KRAUTHAMMER: I could hear sighs all over the country from Republicans, what might have been. That was one of the most - that was one of the best speeches I've heard as a response to the State of the Union. And I think it was one of the best presentations of the conservative idea against the larger government of Obama. [Fox News' State of the Union coverage, 1/24/12 [2], via Media Matters]
Fox Panelist AB Stoddard: "It Was Very Well Written. It Was Funny. It Was Direct." During Fox's State of the Union coverage, panelist AB Stoddard said of Daniels' speech:
STODDARD: I thought it was quite impressive as well. I think that he obviously has the best bona fides on the issue of debt, known to balance the budget in the state of Indiana and is very popular there in both parties. And I think that he was - was - he has better bona fides than the rest of the contenders in the field. That's why he is yearned for by Republicans now. It was very well written. It was funny. It was direct. [Fox News' State of the Union coverage, 1/24/12 [2], via Media Matters]
Fox Nation: Daniels "Delivers Poetic Pro-American Response To Obama SOTU." From Fox Nation:
[Fox Nation, 1/24/12 [3]]
Brian Kilmeade: Daniels' Response Was "Very Strong," "Very Crisp." On the January 25 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade said: "I thought Mitch Daniels [would] have a really hard time yesterday, a la Bobby Jindal. I thought he was very strong, very crisp, and not personal." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 1/25/12 [4], via Media Matters]
Fox Has Similarly Swooned Over Other GOP Politicians
Fox "Fell Hard" For Chris Christie. As New York magazine reported in May 2011, Fox News CEO Roger Ailes "fell hard" for Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) and "encouraged him to jump into" the Republican presidential race. Fox News figures similarly "fell hard" for Christie, with on-air figures lavishing praise on him, asking him about a presidential bid, and giving him ample airtime in the run-up to his 2009 election. [Media Matters, 5/23/11 [5]]
Fox On Marco Rubio "A Political Star Is Born." Following then-GOP Senate candidate Marco Rubio's February 2010 speech at CPAC, Fox News declared that "A Political Star [Was] Born." Fox News personalities also described him as a "rising star" and an "amazing leader" who "knocked it out of the park during his speech." [Media Matters, 2/19/10 [6]]
Fox Figures Gushed Over Scott Brown. Following GOP Sen. Scott Brown's election win, America Live host Megyn Kelly said that Brown "brought the sexy back to Washington." Fox News has also asked, "Is Scott Brown the new Ronald Reagan?" and declared that his election was "the birth of potentially a presidential or vice presidential candidate." [Fox News, America Live, 2/3/10 [7], via Media Matters; Fox News, Your World, 2/18/10 [8], via Media Matters; Fox News, Fox & Friends, 1/21/10 [9], via Media Matters]

Night Moves: The Best Evening Bags
There's nothing quite like the Victoria's Secret show. After years in Miami the Angels made a triumphant return to New York City last year where they remain this fall. There's been a flurry of activity over the past two weeks as the world's best artists – from makeup to costumes, from hair stylists to models – descended upon Manhattan to prepare for last night's blow-out.
We initially caught up with the girls at their first fitting, early last week, where they had just a few hours to find their balance between their new wings and sky high heels. Say "Cheese!"
Karolina Kurkova gave up her Victoria's Secret wings two years ago, but retirement didn't last long! She made a triumphant return to the runway last night, but first she strapped herself into this racecar driver outfit at her initial fitting.

Should Pregnant Women Wear High Heels?
When I was pregnant with my 3 kids, I refrained from wearing heels. But nowadays, you see a lot of pregnant women wear heels. Just open a fashion or entertainment magazine, and splattered in the pages are celebrity pregnant mums wearing those ridiculous high heels. What's your intake on this?

I think overall it is pretty harmless. If they want to do it, then they can. Personally, I couldn't imagine wearing high heels during pregnancy!

Me too, i can't imagine wearing high heels when pregnant. I used to wear high heels during the first 4months but when my tummy started to grow in size I stop wearing heels and prefer flat shoes.

I'd tend to say that wearing high heals during the 2nd and 3rd trimester could cause structural challenges in the skeletal system of mom, which could cause a longer birth with higher chance of complications. Regular chiropractic care could help to take care of this.
Also, a pregnant mum could trip more easily in high heals, which would not be good for mum or bub. We know that as the belly increases in size, center of gravity changes for mum. So a different center of gravity coupled with high heals could create a much larger chance of mum tripping and/or falling.
This is what comes to mind. Taking a picture in high heals wouldn't be a problem. Walking around in them may present a bigger problem for pregnancy and birth.
Warm regards,

This is a good explanation ms.kate...thank you so much for this great explanation which will give caution to other pregnant mum like me to take good care and avoid wearing those high heels while they are pregnant.

Just now on my SPEEDTEST.NET on both my iP5 and iP4S side by side I'm getting
23.30Mbps down on the iPhone 5 and
21.25Mbps down on the iPhone 4S.
(for a fun tidbit - when I switch the iP5 to LTE - I get 34.30Mbps down! wow -- faster than my ISP provider's fastest WIFI.. )
That's exactly what I remembered and expected. They're virtually identical.
Have you tried RESET ALL NETWORK SETTINGS yet on the 5?
Simon is right, my iPhone 5 is fine. Slower speeds are from non-dual band iPhone 4.
Compare iPhones
If your iPhone 5 is getting the same speed as your 4S on a 50Mb/s network, I would say the router isn't dual-band.

About the Jurors:
Howard Lavick – Professor, Dept. Chair, School Director and Acting Dean, Film & Television School, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, CA (LMU)
Professor Howard Lavick was born in Oakland, California in 1946, but was raised in Northern Minnesota where his parents reside. He received a B.A. in Photojournalism from the University of Minnesota in 1968. Howard served two years in the Army from 1969-71, which included one year at Ft. Huachuca, Arizona and one year in South Vietnam where he was assigned as a combat photographer with the 25th Infantry Division. Part of his tour of duty in Vietnam included six months as a photojournalist for Pacific Stars and Stripes which enabled him to travel through much of the country, reporting combat stories in the field and covering political and cultural events in Saigon. Through this, he was able to see and experience many diverse aspects of Vietnamese life.
Upon his return to Minnesota, Howard worked as an advertising photographer in Minneapolis. He also studied documentary film making as an extension of his photojournalism background. After freelance work one summer on an independent feature film made in Minneapolis, Howard was married and moved to Los Angeles, California where he pursued an MFA degree in Film production from the USC School of Cinema. He completed his Graduate studies in 1977 and later worked in documentary films and as a producer/director for pay-cable television. Howard began teaching in the Film School at Loyola Marymount University in 1984 and over the next 25 years, he was promoted from a professor to Dept. Chair, School Director and Acting Dean, while the film program grew from 250 students to a School of Film and Television with more than 700 students.
In the fall of 2001, Howard was teaching in Loyola Marymount's study abroad program in Bonn, Germany. There he met Michaela Mauder who later became his wife when they were married in Los Angeles in 2005. They both enjoy teaching, traveling, photography, cooking and gardening as well as raising their two cats.
In 2008, several of Howard's Vietnam photographs were included in the Viet Art Center "Memories of Vietnam 1955-1975" exhibit in Garden Grove, California, where his picture of a shy young Vietnamese couple was selected for top honors.
Michael Little – Vice President, Friends of Vinh Son Montagnard Orphanage (FOVS)
Bio in his own words
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I attended St. Mary's high school in Berkeley, California, graduating in 1964. Initially, college was a struggle, so I joined the Army in August of 1966.
Trained as a Military Policeman, I arrived in Vietnam a year later, serving my entire tour in the Central Highlands. Quite unexpectedly, I developed a close, personal relationship with a group of Montagnard children from the Bahnar tribe, which has, despite time and distance, lasted to this day. They are the reason I have returned to Vietnam so many times since 1992, and will always be an integral part of my life.
Returning to the States in August, 1968, I eventually graduated from Sacramento State College with a degree in English. After a 26-year career with The Coca-Cola Company as a business analyst, I accepted an early retirement in 2003. Then, in 2004, I took a position with Coors Brewing Company, but retired again in 2008.
As of this writing, I have a son in high school here in Orange County, a daughter attending college in the Bay Area, and a step daughter at Texas Tech. My wife of 14 years owns a consulting business, providing expertise to a number of consumer goods companies.
For most Vietnam veterans, their war experience is locked away in a past they wish to forget, a distant memory. Then, there are men like me who wholeheartedly embrace the country and its people. For us, Vietnam is "alive," a vital part of our daily lives, and staying connected in a positive way gives us a great deal of satisfaction. We are discovering avenues for reaching back to help the less fortunate and to exercise the better angels of our nature.
Aside from providing assistance to our extended family in the Pleiku area, I also serve on the board of Friends of Vinh Son (FVSO), a non-profit organization that is meeting the needs of 4 orphanages in Kontum. We're providing for basic needs, education, health care and so much more.
My wife and son have adopted this passion for Vietnam as well, having traveled there with me on a number of occasions. Hopefully there are more visits in our future. Whether it's spending time with our Montagnard friends in Pleiku, or interacting with the orphans at Vinh Son, we always come home enriched.
Note from VAC: In 2008, several of Michael's Vietnam photographs were included in the Viet Art Center "Memories of Vietnam 1955-1975" exhibit in Garden Grove, California, where a picture that he co-submitted, of a young Vietnamese montagnard boy, taken by Paul Erickson, was selected for one of the top honors.
Richard Turner – Professor, Studio Art, Art History & Co-Director, Guggenheim Gallery, Chapman University, Orange CA
Professor Richard Turner completed his high school education in Saigon, Viet Nam. He studied Chinese painting in Taipei, Taiwan as an undergraduate. He studied Indian miniature painting and classical music in Jaipur India while on a Fulbright scholarship. His studio work references his experiences in India, Vietnam and Taiwan as well as his interest in film, architecture and gardens. His work has been exhibited in west coast galleries and, in 2005, in Bangkok, Thailand. In 2008 his installation Contempt Mandala was shown in Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana.

Student Perspectives
Breaking Down Barriers to Enforcing Human Rights Law in the United States
By Jackie Zamarripa '14
As I faced the 14-foot border wall in Brownsville, Texas, I realized how this divider is symbolic of the little progress we have made with immigration and border issues. Walls are outdated barriers that offer the impression of security and safety to its citizens by limiting entry of foreign objects and people. However, the border wall separating Mexico from the United States has stretches of mile-long gaps and represents a simplistic way of thinking to a more complicated problem. Looking at the wall from both sides tells a story of two very different societies. I witnessed the reality of low-income Texans in desperate need of legal help with Texas RioGrande Legal Aid this summer, and it has opened my eyes to an unbelievable and humbling experience.

Andrew Malcolm is wrong about Bill Clinton's re-election
Los Angeles Times blogger/former Bush aide Andrew Malcolm writes [1]:
Back in 1994 when Bill Clinton received a lesser shellacking from voters angry over his liberal policies, he took three months to follow Dick Morris' advice, adopt some Republican goals like welfare reform as his own and declare out of the blue, "The era of big government is over." The result: An easy 1996 reelect for him.
Like Fred Barnes before him [2], Malcolm inexplicably ignores the effect an improving economy had on Clinton's re-election. As political scientist Brendan Nyhan has noted [3], "Clinton's move toward the center … may have helped somewhat to boost his margin above what we would have otherwise expected, but the driving force in 1996 (as in every election) was the state of the economy." (As Nyhan acknowledges later in the post, there is evidence that Clinton's move to the center is itself overstated.)
And as for Malcolm's suggestion that Clinton's adoption of "Republican goals like welfare reform as his own" resulted in an "easy 1996 reelect": Nonsense. First, Clinton had long made welfare reform a goal of his own. And by the time he signed legislation on August 22, 1996 [4], Clinton had already built a comfortable lead over Bob Dole -- even after vetoing welfare legislation twice. When Clinton vetoed a welfare reform bill on January 9, 1996 [5], he was trailing Dole in Gallup polling [6]. By the time he signed a bill in August, Clinton had established a solid double-digit lead that reached 20 points on multiple occasions. So, basically, Malcolm is completely wrong.

Immediately perceived as historically important, the decision generated intense controversy outside the court, some hailing it as a resounding victory for freedom of speech and others criticizing it as an overreaching attempt to rewrite campaign finance law. Among the critics was Pres. Barack Obama, who remarked in his State of the Union address in the House of Representatives one week later that the decision would "open the floodgates for special interests…to spend without limit in our elections." His criticism provoked one of the Supreme Court justices in attendance, Samuel A. Alito, to break decorum by mouthing the words "not true."
The case arose in 2008 when Citizens United, a conservative nonprofit corporation, released the documentary Hillary: The Movie, which was highly critical of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a candidate for the 2008 Democratic nomination for president of the United States. Citizens United wished to distribute the film through video-on-demand services to cable television subscribers within a 30-day period before the start of the 2008 Democratic primary elections and to advertise the film in three specially produced television commercials.
The BCRA, however, had expanded the scope of FECA's ban on corporate and union contributions and expenditures "in connection with" political elections (Section 441[b]) to include "electioneering communications" paid for with corporate or union general treasury funds (Section 203). It defined "electioneering communications" as "any broadcast, cable, or satellite communication" that "refers to a clearly identified candidate for Federal office" and is made within 60 days before a general election or 30 days before a primary election. Neither FECA's Section 441(b) nor BCRA's Section 203 prohibited corporations or unions from engaging in electioneering communication or expressing advocacy by means of political action committees (PACs), which are funded through the voluntary contributions of individuals. In McConnell v. Federal Election Commission the Supreme Court upheld Section 203 as constitutional. McConnell, in turn, relied on the court's finding in Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce that the government may prohibit corporations from using general treasury funds for independent political expenditures (expenditures that are not coordinated with any political campaign) as a means of preventing corporations from "distorting" the political process and to reduce corruption or the appearance of corruption.
Anticipating that the Federal Election Commission (FEC) would impose penalties, Citizens United sought an injunction in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., alleging that Section 203 was unconstitutional as applied to Hillary because the film did not fit the law's definition of an electioneering communication and because it did not constitute "express advocacy [for or against a candidate] or its functional equivalent," as required by the court's decision in Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right to Life, Inc. (2007). Citizens United argued further that provisions of the BCRA requiring the filing of disclosure statements and the clear identification of sponsors of election-related advertising were unconstitutional as applied to Hillary and to the television commercials it planned to air. (Such "as-applied" challenges to the constitutionality of a statute are distinct from "facial" challenges, which allege that a statute is unconstitutional on its face.)
After the district court ruled against Citizens United on all counts, the Supreme Court granted a writ of certiorari, and oral arguments were first heard on March 24, 2009. The court then asked the parties to file supplemental briefs on the question of whether one or both of Austin and the part of McConnell that affirmed the validity of Section 203 should be overturned. The case was reargued in a special session during the court's summer recess on Sept. September 9, 2009. The court's majority opinion, written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, held that Section 441(b) was unconstitutional on its face; accordingly, both Austin and the relevant part of McConnell were overruled.
In order to justify its consideration of the facial constitutionality of 441(b), which had been affirmed in McConnell and presumably was not at issue in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the court argued that it was impossible to decide the case on narrower grounds in a manner consistent with its conviction that "this corporation has a right to speak on this subject." Not only were Citizens United's narrower arguments "not sustainable under a fair reading of the statute," but there was no principled way of removing Citizens United from the scope of the BCRA that would not itself prolong or contribute to "the substantial, nation-wide chilling effect caused by §441b's prohibitions on corporate expenditures."
Because 441(b) was, in the court's view, an onerous ban on political speech (notwithstanding the availability of political action committees), it could be justified only if it were narrowly tailored to serve a compelling state interest. But neither the majority opinions in Austin and McConnell nor the supplemental brief submitted by the government demonstrated that Section 441(b) passed this test. As an instrument for furthering the state's antidistortion interest, Section 441(b) permitted the government to assign different free-speech rights to different speakers based on their identity as corporate or individual, a premise rejected in the court's decision in First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti (1978). In addition, the law would allow the government to ban the political speech of media corporations, including newspapers—though such corporations were specifically exempted in the Michigan law upheld in Austin and in Section 203 of the BCRA. More generally, according to the majority, the suppression of any political speech by corporations would interfere with the "marketplace of ideas" by preventing the "voices and viewpoints" of corporations from "reaching the public and advising voters on which persons or entities are hostile to their interests."
The court also held that the state's interest in preventing corruption or the appearance of corruption, though compelling, was not narrowly served by Section 441(b), because the independent expenditures it banned were by definition not coordinated or prearranged with the candidate or his campaign and therefore could not give rise to a quid pro quo in which votes are exchanged for money. Although such expenditures could ingratiate a corporation with a candidate and lead to greater access to him, "ingratiation and access…are not corruption." Regarding the government's contention that Section 441(b) narrowly served the state's interest in protecting the right of corporate shareholders not to fund political speech with which they disagree, the court held that this and other interests of shareholders were already adequately protected by the institutions of "corporate democracy." The court concluded that "no sufficient governmental interest justifies limits on the political speech of nonprofit or for-profit corporations." Although thus agreeing with Citizens United's claim that Section 203 was unconstitutional as applied to Hillary, a majority of the court (8–1) disagreed with the group's contention that the disclosure and identification requirements of the BCRA were also unconstitutional as applied (this part of the court's decision later became the basis of several lower-court rulings upholding the constitutionality of such requirements). The majority opinion was joined in full by Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., and Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel A. Alito and in part by Justice Clarence Thomas. Roberts and Scalia also filed separate concurring opinions, while Thomas filed a separate opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part.
In a lengthy and impassioned dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens warned that the court's ruling threatened "to undermine the integrity of elected institutions across the Nation." He contended that the court had blatantly disregarded precedent and the principle of stare decisis, and he rejected the court's rationale for considering the facial constitutionality of Section 441(b) as question-begging and ad hoc. According to Stevens, the majority had also misunderstood the state interests that Section 441(b) and Section 203 were designed to serve. In particular, its dismissal of the antidistortion interest overgeneralized Bellotti's rejection of identity-based restrictions on political speech and ignored the ways in which corporate domination of political speech during an election could impoverish rather than enhance the marketplace of ideas. In addition, the court's treatment of political corruption as equivalent to a quid pro quo was simplistic and naive, and its notion of corporate democracy greatly overestimated the powers of shareholders to vote and bring derivative suits against corporate officers. "The Court's blinkered and aphoristic approach to the First Amendment," he wrote, "will undoubtedly cripple the ability of ordinary citizens, Congress, and the States to adopt even limited measures to protect against corporate domination of the electoral process. Americans may be forgiven if they do not feel the Court has advanced the cause of self-government today." Stevens's opinion (which concurred with the majority's ruling on the disclosure and identification requirements of the BCRA) was joined by Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Sonia Sotomayor.

Even a Cuddly Dog Can Be Provoked to Take a Bite Out of You!
First JP Holding, then Frank Walton, then Paul Manata have all provoked me repeatedly. They view apostates like me with utter disgust and seek to malign me in every way possible, even knowingly and repeatedly lying about me. They have the same theological position with regards to how to treat apostates like me, and it has been very difficult to keep my head above water. Walton's position is obvious. Manata's position can be found here, and Holding's position is to be found here, and especially here. I have challenged their position toward treating apostates and skeptics on this matter here.
These guys (and others) have been berating me, provoking me, lying about me and dogging my every step. So in the past I have sunk to their level, which won't happen any more. After months, and in Holding's case years, others might sink to their level too. You'd like to think differently, wouldn't you? But who knows?
In Holding's case I started a Blog detailing his lies and dishonesty, but since I didn't want people to know it was me I deceived people into thinking someone else did, which later I owned up to, even though just like them, I still could've lied by denying it but I didn't, and I didn't have to broadcast it on my blog. In Paul Manata's case I got pretty upset with him based upon his violent past and predicted he'd probably beat his wife someday, although I also said I hope it doesn't happen. Frank Walton has a strategy for provoking people that is reprehensible, and he doesn't give a damn what we think of him.
If I really didn't care what others thought of me, and if I truly was an obnoxious perverted person, then what best explains why I continue to try to defend myself from these accusations? I mean really, if I am as bad as they say, wouldn't it stand to reason that I just wouldn't give a damn? And wouldn't you see some evidence of these so-called personal faults of mine at DC at least some of the time?
But you DO see those characteristics from Holding, Walton and Manata on their sites all of the time. The bottom line is they share the same theology with regard to treating apostates like me, and the main reason they have successively attacked me is because they have thought I was important enough to attack.
All murder is not the same. All violence is not the same. All deception and all lies are not the same, either. This should go without saying. Take several cases regarding violence for instance. 1) If you walk up to someone and you hit him in the face without provocation, that's different than 2) hitting him because he provoked it. And the latter is much different if 3) he continually and persistently provokes you and then you finally blow up at him and hit him. And it's clearly not the same when 4) you're defending yourself from his physical assault.
While few of us would have any problems with the need to defend yourself in case #4, and we would probably all be against hitting someone in case #1, more of us would be sympathetic to you in case #3 than to you in case #2. Most people would still think you did wrong in case #2. When it comes to case #3 fewer people would condemn you for what you did, even if they thought it was wrong, since it is more understandable. As I understand the law, only cases #1 and #2 are crimes. Case #3 involves mitigating factors that would not gain a conviction in court because the person you hit had already committed a crime if he continually verbally provoked you.
Now let's say a case like #3 happened to you. You hit a guy after about 3 years of taunting and ridicule and verbal personal attacks. Are you therefore a violent person?
Even a cute cuddly dog can get mean and take a bite out of a person if provoked. Likewise, it's the mitigating factors that dictate under what circumstances you might be classified as a violent person. All we can say is that under those same set of circumstances you might get violent. Under normal circumstances you could be as cute as that cuddly dog.
On the web between us there are some pretty heated debates going on, which includes ridiculing and belittling one's opponent. It's so hard to keep one's head above water if you engage in these debates everyday like I do. I am always impressed with people who engage in said debates without wallowing in the mire with the others who do. Every once-in-a-while I get drug down in the mire when I can't tolerate what others say about me, and I respond in kind. But it takes quite a lot to push me in that direction, I think. All I've ever wanted was a reasonable discussion of the ideas that separate us, and that's still what I want. Anyone who reads what I write on a daily basis can plainly see for themselves that's what I want.
But just because I sink down to their level once in a rare while upon being provoked repeatedly and persistently, no more makes me like them than failing to take my daily shower once or twice a month characterizes me as a dirty person.
What I find interesting is the hypocrisy of this. Some Christians can taunt, demean, ridicule me, and be dishonest with me by gerrymandering what I write all of the time and plaster it all over the web. When I finally get fed up with it and respond in kind they take a snapshot of me and plaster that all over the web too, as if this is what characterizes who I am. Frank Walton even posted a video on YouTube claiming I'm a lying homosexual. The only thing bad about it is that it's a lie! But I don't see any condemnation of that video or of it's creator from fellow Christians. Why not? Do Christians hold other Christians to a lower standard than they hold us atheists to? That would be amusing to me, if so.
The bottom line for me is that I have to develop thicker skin. I need to ignore the taunts, the ridicule, and the belittling that Christians do out there. I have to understand that they feel personally attacked by the simple fact that this very blog exists. If I can keep my head above water here, I'll do okay. I plan on doing much better about this from now on. I'll try not to miss that daily shower again! ;-)

11 Comments on "Marilyn Burns Dies"
I love the first part of the TCM when that crazy guy is in the van and then runs alongside kicking it, and Leatherface's first appearances, especially when the couple goes into his house and finds bones everywhere, and when he first chases Sally with a chainsaw. The movie goes downhill when his family is introduced though. Gets kinda stupid.
RIP to Marilyn, the original "scream queens" were awesome.
It's the only film that I cannot watch alone, and have to watch with a light on and my feet up off the floor.
I am, believe it or not, a reasonably well-adjusted thirty-one-year-old.
Greatest horror movie ever. I love the gritty, sweaty, early 70's feel.
RIP lady, you were a sexy piece in your day.
I just saw Texas Chainsaw on the big screen, our local movie theater is doing a special run! SO. FUCKING. SCARY. The soundtrack alone is terrifying. RIP Marilyn.
RIP No cause of death stated. This is really a good interview with her: http://www.terrortrap.com/interviews/marilynburns/
and now I feel old
More barrel scrapings.
Why so young?
RIP Marilyn

The Blazers covered a lot of ground this season
As many of you probably know, Nicolas Batum finished the regular season as the player who covered the most ground in the NBA. Batum finished the season having covered 216.0 miles, which is eight miles more than the next closest player. All of Portland's starting backcourt ended the season in the Top 10 in distance traveled, with Damian Lillard coming in third at 207.5 miles and Wesley Matthews traveling 199.2 miles, good for eighth this season.
Batum also finished the season third in distance traveled per game at 2.6 miles per game. Lillard finished 12th in the NBA at 2.5 miles per game.
As a team, the Trail Blazers travelled 1,400.5 miles this season, fourth-most in the NBA behind the Spurs (1,443.8 miles), the Sixers (1,438.8 miles) and the Cavaliers (1,414.2 miles). The average speed of the team was 4.2 miles per hour and their distanced traveled per game was 17.1 miles.
As you would expect, Damian Lillard led the Trail Blazers in touches per game (which is defines as "the number of times a player touches AND possesses the ball") with 84.0, which was good enough for 11th in the NBA this season. Lillard logged 6,888 total touches this season, fifth-best in the NBA, and possessed the ball an average of 6.9 minutes per game, eighth-best in the league.
In regards to elbow touches (which the NBA defines as "touches that originate within the 5 foot radius nearing the edge of the lane), LaMarcus Aldridge finished the season averaging 7.6 per game, good for ninth in the NBA.
The Trail Blazers as a team were 18th in the league this season in touches per game with an average of 416.0, which comes to 34,113 total touches this season. Portland possessed the ball an average of 18.8 minutes per game, 12th in the NBA, and were eighth in points per touch at 0.26. Portland's 13.1 close touches per game (defined by the NBA as "all touches that originate within 12 feet of the basket, excluding drives) was third-worst in the NBA this season. By contrast, the Grizzlies led the NBA in close touches per game with 24.9.

Beau Brooks of The Janoskians Falls Off Teen Choice Surfboard in Pre-Show Stunt
Listen to The Janoskians Radio on iHeartRadio
Was Beau Brooks in a scary accident at Teen Choice Awards on Sunday?
It's bizarrely unclear.
The Aussie was on the blue carpet with the rest of his Janoskians members when he decided he would "surf" the carpet.
Using one of the classic Teen Choice surf boards, Brooks took a surfing pose as team members carried the board in the air.
That is, until he fell - and seemingly hit his head.
Security immediately put a neck brace around Brooks' head as he lay motionless.
Fans were immediately confused as to whether the 21-year-old was seriously hurt, or if the group was pulling one of its typical pranks.
"#getwellbeauteenchoiceawards2014″ became a trending topic on Twitter, and the act's official account tweeted:
Beau were with you buddy! #getwellbeauteenchoiceawards2014

Check out the video below, start at the 1:40 mark.
Looks like it was a Janoskians prank after all!
My fall today was not as hard as the people who fell for the prank 😂 hahaha janoskianators caught on straight away pic.twitter.com/PZHzRsln6j

text: Anybody who surfs twinzers, would be interested in hearing your experiences, especially if you've ridden them on a shortboard (not a fish). I like boards that make their own speed (not into having to constantly pump). I like the speed of quads, but sometimes feel like they are too stiff. Was thinking of trying a twin fin, but have heard that they are prone to spinning out. Then I thought why not a twinzer-- seems like it would have more hold than a twin but be looser than a quad. Though it does seem strange to me that you don't see them very often, which leads me to think that maybe they really aren't that great (you actually see a lot more twin fin shortboards, but I wonder if this is just because of nostalgia). Anyway, if anyone has ridden one, would appreciate any feedback.

Dora - from Highland, CA
Jelly roll cakes can be tricky! Before turning the cake onto your towel, make sure you generously sprinkle the towel with confectioners' sugar (cocoa powder if your cake is chocolate). The more the better, in this case! This will keep the cake from sticking, which then cracks the cake when unrolling. Then, make sure you follow recipe instructions exactly, in rolling, unrolling, then re-rolling your cake. It may seem involved, but a cake that has cooled too much or not enough can crack very easily. That, though, means that sometimes you may still get cracking. But, don't worry! Once filled, re-rolled, then iced, no one will notice!

UAE: 2013 outlook - on the mend
KFH-Research expects the UAE economy will grow by 3.9 per cent in 2013, saying that industrial production will improve gradually, where the non-oil sector role in the UAE economy will be more significant. Meanwhile, tourism will prosper after taking advantage of the current developments in the region. The report mentioned that the constructions sector will overcome rates that have been declining for the past two years, and achieve growth in 2013, amidst expectation that Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and other northern states, will shoulder tourist and infrastructure projects.

well im using an airlink awlc4130 pcmcia card supported by bt3. well when i start off doing airmon-ng stop ath0 / airmon-ng start wifi0
then i go to airodump ath0
i just get a blank terminal screen.
sometimes airodump works sometimes it doesnt.
then when i run kismet, kismet just locks up on the main kismet screen. anyone ever see this happen before?
airmon-ng start wifi0
it will create one monitor interface for you named ath1
run airodump-ng ath1
and for kismet modify it and put source according to your card.
read here to learn configuring kismet
source should look like this
running kismet will destroy VAP and will create a interface by name kis0.
Have you tried updating the madwifi drivers? Does the card actually work in any other mode (e.g. managed) and able to connect to your access point?
Not sure why airodump isn't working.
I'd try adding a difference source to kismet.conf

From HaskellWiki
1 Indentation Approaches
Emacs can indent Haskell in various ways. The most common is the tab cycle.
1.1 Indentation using tab cycle
Haskell-mode offers intelligent indentation. As Haskell source code uses indentation aware code blocks, there is usually more than one column for which indentation makes sense.
Hit tab a few times to see a few different indentation possibilities.
For example, imagine the following is open in a haskell-mode buffer, where
! represents the point:
foo :: Int -> String foo 0 = f 4 ++ s where f 4 = "hello" ++ !
If you ask
haskell-mode to indent for you, where should it indent to? There are four basic options:
You want to finish off the expression you were writing in the last line.
Haskell-modeindents to be underneath the
"character at the beginning of
where f 4 = "hello" ++ !
This is debatably a bad choice as you'd probably want to indent a bit further in to make it clear that you were carrying on an expression, but the layout rule would accept something like the following:
where f 4 = "hello" ++ "world"
You want to add a second equation for
Haskell-modewill indent to line up with the first argument, and fill in the
fin the equation:This is an unlikely choice as the expression in the previous line isn't complete, but
where f 4 = "hello" ++ f !
haskell-modeisn't smart enough to know that. (If
fhad been something without arguments, like, then it's impossible to have more than one equation and haskell-mode won't offer this indentation level.)where f = "hello"
You want to add a second binding to the
where-block. Haskell-mode indents to line up with the
where f 4 = "hello" ++ !
- You want to start an entirely new top-level binding. Haskell-mode indents to the first column:
foo :: Int -> String foo 0 = f 4 ++ s where f 4 = "hello" ++ !
These four locations can be reached by repeatedly pressing
TAB. This is what's known as the tab-cycle. The innermost location is offered first, then cycling progresses outwards. Although this may seem like an inefficient system (and it is indeed a shame that Haskell's design didn't result in an unambiguous indentation system), you do quickly get used to the tab-cycle and indenting Haskell code.
Do not use indent-region
Using indent-region is generally a bad idea on Haskell code, because it would need to know which of the tab-cycle stops you wish to choose for each line. The innermost one is chosen in each case, which often results in unusable code. Moral: just don't use indent-region with haskell-mode.
1.2 Using rectangular region commands
Emacs has a set of commands which operate on the region as if it were rectangular. This turns out to be extremely useful when dealing with whitespace sensitive languages.
C-x r o is "Open Rectangle". It will shift any text within the rectangle to the right side. Also see:
C-x r t is "String Rectangle". It will shift any text within the rectangle over to the right, and insert a given string prefixing all the lines in the region. If comment-region didn't already exist, you could use this instead, for example.
C-x r d is "Delete Rectangle". It will delete the contents of the rectangle and move anything on the right over.
C-x r r is "Copy Rectangle to Register". It will prompt you for a register number so it can save it for later.
C-x r g is "Insert register". This will insert the contents of the given register, overwriting whatever happens to be within the target rectangle. (So make room)
C-x r k is "Kill rectangle". Delete rectangle and save contents for:
C-x r y is "Yank rectangle". This will insert the contents of
the last killed rectangle.
As with all Emacs modifier combos, you can type
C-x r C-h to find out what keys are bound beginning with the
C-x r prefix.
1.3 Aligning code
Emacs22 has a neat tool called: align-regexp. Select a region you want to align text within, M-x align-regexp, and type a regexp representing the alignment delimiter.
For example, I often line up my Haddock comments:
f :: a -- ^ does a -> Foo b -- ^ and b -> c -- ^ to c
Select the region, and let the regexp be:
f :: a -- ^ does a -> Foo b -- ^ and b -> c -- ^ to c
Of course, this works for just about anything. Personally, I've globally bound it to
C-x a r:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x a r") 'align-regexp).

RIP Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf.....A true American hero.
Wow. Just wow. An honorable soldier and leader. RIP General Schwarzkopf.
Oh no!
He was a true American patriot.
RIP General.
I never met him, but he and my dad were in HS together in Germany after WWII. They both played on the football team.
He certainly was a guy to be respected.
I will only speak a little on this.
Old School MAN
Scared the crap out of all his subordinates when he was upset.
I salute you old man and I am putting my flag at half mast.
His press conference to close out the first Gulf War was pure classic...
A great soldier and a great American.
A gentleman warrior. RIP
Had a friend who was a 3 star general. Never met a 4 star personally. They are impressive men at that rank.
RIP General.
I remember his "Luckiest man in Baghdad" remark when he showed the video of the guy in car going across the bridge just before we blew it up. That was great.
Not a quote, but he once said in so many word he hoped his men complained on the way home he was an SOB, because it meant he got them back alive.
Met him while stationed at the NTC in Ft.Irwin, CA
I can't go into detail...rip
RIP...I know nothing about him but hope they come out with a book because he sounds like an interesting and very successful man.
his autobiography was very good. I reccomend it
Cool, thanks. I'm going to get it now.
A hero.
Even the best have to go at some point.:
From another thread, someone might suggest this was another one of the "so what?" 2012 noteables deaths. I say he served our country well and saved many that were under his command.
Thank you Norman.
I met him at a Zig Ziglar motivational conference. Jimmy Johnson, Barbara Bush, and several others were also guest speakers. I recorded the speeches. I should listen to his again. He spoke on leadership. It was absolutely great.
Later I got to briefly shake his hand and thank him. I found him to be friendly, engaging, and funny. I really respected this man and think we lost one truly great American.
General "Stormin" Norman Schwarzkopf.
They do not make men like him any longer.
RIP Herbert Norman Schwarzkopf Jr.

REDLANDS -- Starting today and through the rest of October, the Transportation Department of the Redlands Unified School District will be wearing pink shirts in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The idea was spearheaded by Imogene "Vickey" Johnson, a nine-year employee and two-time breast cancer survivor, who wanted show support for others who are currently going through treatment or who have lost someone to the disease.
Every October, Johnson can be seen around town wearing her signature pink earrings, bracelet and other novelties as she picks students up and drops them off at various sites within the district.
She shares those items with her co-workers, passing out buttons and bracelets to each one. But this year, Johnson added a new addition - T-shirts.
The pink shirts feature the district's symbol on the back and a patch that reads, "Redlands Unified School District Transportation Department" on the front.
The department of 50 pitched in to purchase the shirts to spread awareness, and the excitement has been overwhelming, she said.
"Actually our manager, Bill McKinney, was excited when the suggestion came up, and then I just followed through with it to make sure it happened," Johnson said.
McKinney, transportation manager for RUSD, said Johnson had his full support by phone Thursday.
"The love and courage Vickey provides to fighting cancer is really a blessing to our community," he said. "And I think it's fantastic that we're able to show such support."
In addition to the Friday Pink Shirt Campaign, Johnson will be out in full force volunteering for the fifth annual Believe Walk on Sunday in downtown Redlands.
She has volunteered at the event for several years, first at its survivors booth and now at its registration booth.
She also founded her own organization - The Servants Reward - which goes around the area to deliver care packages to those going through cancer treatments.
Johnson knows the toll cancer and treatment take on one's body. She was diagnosed with breast cancer twice within a five-year period.
Her aunt died from complications of cancer, while two other aunts are survivors of the disease, and so is her mother.
"I'm the only one that's a two-time survivor," she said. "I hear so many of my friends, family members and co-workers' families who have been affected by breast cancer. And that's why it runs so deeply in my heart. And I also speak about breast cancer at different events."
This year, Johnson buses special education students to and fro, but does not talk about her disease or why she wears pink with her current route because she feels that is the parent's duty to do so.
But when she drove around high school-aged students last year, they bombarded her with questions and she was willing to answer.
"We did talk about it because they knew why I was out (and) they knew why I wore pink," she said. A number of her students walked a Relay for Life event at Redlands East Valley several years ago in her honor.
Johnson was first diagnosed with cancer at the age of 44.
She is now 49 and in remission.
"If it wasn't for God, my husband, my daughter, my friends and family..., the support was so great, and I never wavered," she said. "I knew God has a purpose for me, just like now. And my only mission is to get the word out for people to be aware and for women to get checked every year.
"The earlier the detection, the earlier the survivor rate."

Finally Hancock flew with Bullock to Memphis to spend a day with Tuohy.
More recently in 2008, Will Smith starred as the original superhero Hancock.
Wexler and Hancock remain agnostic on whether or not Ray actually fired the fatal shot.
Her first novel, Hancock Park, was published this summer by HarperCollins.
"Leigh Anne showed [Bullock] her cute little pearl-handled Derringer," Hancock says.
Hancock's eyes flashed with resentment, and Washington himself slipped from the room.
There are seven personal names, and the first of these, Hancock, is rather a problem.
Hancock was intent on being chosen Commander of the Continental Army.
The hint took, and the wealth and influence of Hancock were secured on the side of liberty.
General Hancock is reported ten miles ahead of us; no fighting to-day.

What's Trending: April 29th
April 29th
I take so many pictures on my phone and I am constantly getting messages that I am running out of storage space. I hate taking them off my phone and putting them on my computer. Yesterday I downloaded the Trunx app to store all of my photos. Trunx imports and stores all of your photos from your phone, Instagram, and even Facebook! You have UNLIMITED storage! Now I don't feel bad about deleting phones from my Camera Roll because they are saved within the app! Share photos with friends who also use the app or send to your social accounts or message to friends right from the app. If you chose to take a photo within the app you will have the option to record sound, using their EchoPix feature, while taking the picture which is cool for concerts and events like graduations!Trunx stores your photos in an easy to view time line and lets you set a passcode so no one can get it! Beginning at the end of September they are going to charge for the service and storage but if you get your photos uploaded before then you don't have to pay for them to be stored! Download for iPhone and Anrdroid.
This is going to be tough to explain but let's start off by saying the website i am going to tell you about has the F-word in it, so head here to check it out. It's called, "What the F*** Should I Make for Dinner?". Head to the site and it pops right up with a recipe option, except it's basically telling you off. The top of the page has a statement, with a few curses about why you should make that meal. Then it lists the meal option, if you like it, click it, and it will take you to the site where the recipe is from. If you don't like that idea you have a few options to choose from on the bottom of the page, all of which have the "F" word in it. It makes planning dinner so much more entertaining! Make it a gift and by the cook book from Amazon here!

Autoimmune hepatitisLupoid hepatitis; Chronic acute liver disease
Autoimmune hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that occurs when immune cells mistake the liver's normal cells for harmful invaders and attack them.
This form of hepatitis isan autoimmune disease.The body'simmune system can't tell the difference between healthy body tissue and harmful, outside substances. The result is an immune response that destroys normal body tissues.
Liver inflammation, or hepatitis may occur along with other autoimmune diseases, including:
- Graves disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Scleroderma
- Sjogren syndrome
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Thyroiditis
- Type 1 diabetes
- Ulcerative colitis
Autoimmune hepatitis sometimes occurs in relatives of people with autoimmune diseases. Thissuggests that theremay bea genetic cause.
This disease is most common in young girls and women.
- Abdominal distention
- Dark urine
- Fatigue
- General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling (malaise)
- Itching
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea or vomiting
- Pale or clay-colored stools
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease include absence of menstruation (amenorrhea).
Exams and Tests
Tests for autoimmune hepatitis include:
- Anti-liver kidney microsome type 1 antibody (anti LKM-1)
- Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA)
- Anti-smooth muscle antibody (SMA)
- Serum IgG
- Liver function tests
- Liver biopsy to look for chronic hepatitis
You may need prednisone or other corticosteroid medicines help reduce the inflammation. Azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine are drugs used to treat other autoimmune disorders. They have been shown to help people with autoimmune hepatitis, as well.
Somepeople may need a liver transplant.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome varies. Corticosteroidmedicines may slow the progress of the disease. However, autoimmune hepatitis mayadvance to cirrhosis. This would require a liver transplant.
Possible Complications
- Cirrhosis
- Side effects from steroids and other medicines
- Hepatocellular carcinoma
- Liver failure
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you notice symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis.
Autoimmune hepatitis is usually cannot be prevented. Knowing therisk factors may allow early detection and treatment.

Re: Paul Ryan VP announcement imminent
there. It will get some of the conservatives though but not enough. The Christians still won't vote.
If seniors are worried about Ryan and his plan does not effect anyone now on medicare or SS, wait til
they see O BUMMER CARE with all the death panels.
That's what drew me to Herman Cain. He had cancer operation and said he would be dead now with
O BUMMER CARE. He wouldn't have been given the opportunity for the surgery. Instead it would have
gone to a young girl so she could live a long life.
And wait til you see the tie up when you are admitted to the hospital and wait for months for an x-ray
like they do in Canada. I have posted many links on this the past few years.
Speaking of seniors, I haven't been posting much because we just moved my mom into an assistive
living facility. She's upset so Im spending a lot of time there with her and ate there tonight. She's getting excellent care there and they have brought down her blood sugar levels.
I had been caring for her and kept her out of one for 3 years and then my sister took her in the but her sugar numbers remained high so we admitted her.
I also posted links where some countries in Europe are closing nursing homes. They want the children to take care of their parents. ILMAO, that's the wait it was done for 4,000 yrs before socialism took over.
But when I'm 88, they probably won't be there under O BUMMER CARE here. I posted a link where in Europe they are closing nursing homes and want the children to take them in. My sister did this for as long as she could. The state still pays for them but I hate to think when I'm 88.
Think I'll just crawl on some beach and sleep with the fishes.
Scares the hell out of me.

Re: Paul Ryan VP announcement imminent
It's not just Ryan but anyone.
BTW, the Catholic Church voted for OBY. Then he thanked them by attacking them with the contraceptive thing.
The Christian Right is the Southern Baptists and non-denominational protestant evangelical Christians.
They didn't vote for Kennedy when he became the first Catholic president and they won't vote for
Mitt to become the first Mormon president.
In fact, millions of Christians are pissed that Billy Graham, a Southern Baptist, is in bed with the Pope. Um, not physically but figuretively. He sends many people from his crusade to join the Catholic Church when they go forward and has met with every Pope.
Billy even has priests, cardinals and bishops on his stage with the protestant ministers.
The protestants left them over 400 years ago. It's called the reformation.

Alissa Chavez Explains Her 'Hot Seat' Invention for Kids
By Kathleen Perricone
Alissa Chavez, 17, wants to put an end to parents accidentally leaving their children in hot cars.
The Albuquerque teen has invented The Hot Seat, a safety device attached to a car seat that triggers an alarm if a caregiver is 40 feet away from the child.
We were so impressed by Alissa's live-saving idea, she called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Monday morning to tell us all more about it.
"My mom owns a home child care, so I've been around kids my whole life," she explains. "And I heard the stories about children being left in hot cars so often, I thought there had to be a way to stop that from happening … it can happen. Parents get busy, they have a lot on their mind. If the baby is quiet or sleeping in the backseat, it makes it even more likely it could happen."
The Hot Seat isn't the only invention Alissa is working on … but she can't tell us about any of that just yet.
For more on Alissa's Hot Seat invention and how to donate so she can develop the prototype, check out her Indiegogo page here!

Pursue high-quality DOTS expansion and enhancement
Element 4: An effective drug supply and management system
An uninterrupted and sustained supply of quality-assured anti-TB drugs is fundamental to TB control. For this purpose, an effective drug supply and management system is essential. A reliable system of procurement and distribution of all essential anti-TB drugs to all relevant health facilities should be in place. The TB recording and reporting system is designed to provide the information needed to plan, procure, distribute and maintain adequate stocks of drugs.
Anti-TB drugs should be available free of charge to all TB patients, both because many patients are poor and may find them difficult to afford, and because treatment has benefits that extend to society as a whole (cure prevents transmission to others). Legislation related to drug regulation should be in place, and use of anti-TB drugs by all providers should be strictly monitored. The use of FDCs of proven bioavailability and of innovative packaging such as patient kits can help to improve drug supply logistics as well as drug administration, promote adherence to treatment and prevent development of drug resistance.
The Stop TB Partnership's Global Drug Facility and the Green Light Committee offer countries with limited capacity the benefit of access to quality-assured TB drugs at reduced prices and also facilitate access to training on drug management.1
