Company news: FCC, Novo, Sanofi
The FCC's mobile health task force convened in June to assess how to leverage mobile in the health space, and offered up its findings this week, reported MobiHealth. Among the recommendations – that the FCC should be the lead and promote greater use of mobile health technologies and that federal agencies need to collaborate to "promote innovation, protect patient safety and avoid regulatory duplication." The initiative uses the term mobile to include remote patient monitors, software applications, body sensors that capture data, implants, patient care portals and mobile diagnostic imaging applications.Novo Nordisk is expanding its Beijing footprint. The Danish drug maker announced Tuesday that it was investing an additional $100 million in science facilities there. The expansion includes more room and space for 70 new hires to boost its science staff to 200 employees.
Sanofi released a bout of less-bad news Tuesday: the company, which labor unions expected to lay off close to 2,500 employees, is rounding down the number to about 900 positions cut in France by 2015. The company said in a statement it expects the drop off to consist of "early retirements, mobility proposals and repositioning in France." Bloomberg noted that Labor Unions put the at-risk total at around 1,500.

Amtrak says 232 passengers were on board when downed trees forced them to stop. It'll be another few hours before some of them are able to move again on buses, while others are stuck on the train for an indefinite amount of time.AdvertisementUPDATE: The AP is reporting that all passengers have been boarded onto buses, not just the ones bound for Cincinnati.The train was traveling last night from New York to Chicago when storms forced it to stop at approximately 11:00 PM Eastern Time near Prince, West Virginia. The cause, according to the Fayette County Sherrif's department, was a large number of trees on the tracks.AdvertisementNational Park Service Rangers have been dispatched to the scene to check on them, according to the Sherrif's office. A reader with a sister on the train says he last heard from her since 9:00 am this morning when her phone died.The train is a long-distance train and still has power, according to Amtrak, so passengers were provided with air-conditioning. Food was also on board and crew members were sent in town for more provisions for passengers. The passengers will be moved onto buses because the tracks, which are owned and operated by CSX, are still covered with downed trees."The plan is to bring buses to Prince and take the folks towards their destination," said an Amtrak spokesperson. "Because of the severe weather and because there are many transportation companies looking for buses we had to get buses from Pennsylvania and there are federal hours of service rules that limit them to travel to Cincinnati."SponsoredThis means passnegers going to Cincinnati will be taken towards their destination in a few hours when the buses — likely having to contend with downed trees themselves — finally arrive. Amtrak had no estimate for when buses taking passengers beyond Cincinnati will be made available.Photo Credit: RedArrowReply76 repliesLeave a reply

On Monday, U.S. Customs in Savannah, Georgia intercepted a shipment of 1,783 pieces of counterfeit exercise gear imported from China. The 764 cartons included Shake Weights, Body by Jake, and Total Core. The gear sported counterfeit logos. So not only would you get the normal benefits of a fake exercise product, the fake exercise products themselves were also fake.
In case you don't know what a shake weight is, it's a dumbbell with plates inside that you shake back and forth, supposedly toning your arms more easily than if you were lifting weights. Here's a video clip:

Masters of Deceit
Thirty-five of the most progressive cities in the United States have passed living-wage laws, the mailer begins, and, in smaller type, theres an imposing list of left-leaning or heavily unionized cities: Cambridge, Boston, New Haven, Portland, New York, Chicago, L.A. Then you turn the page, and there, in large letters, is a sobering statement of fact: But not Santa Monica.
The pamphlet is one of a seemingly daily barrage of mailings coming out of the Proposition KK campaign, which at first glance might seem designed to establish a significant living-wage statute in Santa Monica. Its wording is plainly calculated to inflame any progressive heart and tug at a Bay City residents civic pride. Santa Monica, after all, has long been a beacon for American liberalism -- the spawning ground for Californias rent-control movement and Tom Haydens Campaign for Economic Democracy during the 80s, a home for two decades to one ground-breaking municipal project after another. Surely, Santa Monica can get with the program and, by passing KK, enact a living wage.
Theres just one small problem. Proposition KK does not establish a significant living wage. On the contrary, it is intended and constructed precisely and solely to thwart the city from adopting a real living wage.
As such, the campaign for KK is notable in two regards. First, it is the single most brazen act of electoral misrepresentation in living memory. Second, this act of imposture constitutes a radical new strategy for living-wage opponents, and if they prevail in Santa Monica, they will surely take this kind of campaign to city after city across America.

The horror that KK was actually devised to derail was a genuine and far-reaching living-wage ordinance that Santa Monicas City Council has been considering. Up to now, municipal living wages, in those 35 cities listed on the KK mailer, have covered the employees of businesses with city contracts. On the theory that taxpayers dollars should not be subsidizing poverty, city councils have required large and midsize contractors to provide their workers with health insurance and more decent pay. (In most cases, this has meant an hourly wage of around $8.50 with health benefits, or $9.50 without.) With income disparity widening in America and the number of urban poverty-wage jobs steadily increasing, the living-wage movement has emerged as one of the chief vehicles for combating the poverty of the employed.
Over the past several years, the Los Angeles area has become home to the nations most innovative and powerful living-wage movement. To whom Santa Monica posed an unusual challenge: for the city has very few poverty-wage contract workers, but a considerable number of poverty-wage workers in its most profitable private-sector industry. Santa Monicas beachfront hotels -- chief among them Loews, Shutters, Casa Del Mar and Le Merigot -- have the highest room rates and the lowest vacancy rates of any hotels in the L.A. region. Their housekeepers, waiters and kitchen staffs, however, are earning on average a princely $14,250 a year with no health benefits, according to one recent study commissioned by the living-wage forces.
Accordingly, the living-wage advocates proposed an ordinance that would require the citys largest beachfront employers to pay a living wage. This was admittedly new terrain, but since the city had aided the hotels with its own beachfront improvement projects, and since many states have long mandated higher minimum wages than the federal government, they felt they were on sound legal ground. The Santa Monica City Council commissioned a study of the proposal, which theyve recently received, along with a counterpart study commissioned by the hotels. Amid the current rife confusion, however, the city has taken all the proposals off the table until the initiative battle is resolved.
As the council began looking at the living-wage proposal last spring, the hotels hired attorneys and consultants who devised Proposition KK. Their measure does indeed establish a living wage for the citys low-wage contract workers, though a study for the real living-wage forces conducted by economist Robert Pollin of the University of Massachusetts was able to identify only a relative handful of employees -- possibly as few as 62 -- whod be covered by the ordinance. More important, the measure flatly prohibits the council from enacting any other living-wage or minimum-wage statute. The hotels would not be obliged to pay a decent wage or offer health coverage to the roughly 1,250 of their employees whod potentially be covered by a genuine ordinance.
Not surprisingly, almost every penny of the $880,000 donated to the Proposition KK campaign -- all but $600 -- has come from seven beachfront hotels. (The one major Santa Monica hotel not supporting the campaign is the Fairmont Miramar, the only one whose workers are under union contract.) The newfound concern that the hotel owners and operators -- who include the mega-rich Jonathan Tisch (Loews) and capitalist icon Goldman, Sachs (Casa del Mar) -- are showing for the citys low-wage contract workers is touching. But it is as nothing next to that of the attorneys and consultants whove worked for KK, since they are the most dedicated foes of a genuine living wage one could ever hope to find.
In their drive to forestall a living wage, Santa Monicas hotels -- initially, Shutters and Casa Del Mar, which are under the same management -- began by hiring the lobbying and law firm of Nielsen, Merksamer, long a powerhouse in state Republican politics. Steve Merksamer was chief of staff to Governor George Deukmejian, who entrusted him with his pet project: unseating California Supreme Court justices Rose Bird, Joe Grodin and Cruz Reynoso in the 1986 election. Nielsen, Merksamers clients include Philip Morris, the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Manufacturers Association. The firm of Latham & Watkins, which had worked unsuccessfully to defeat L.A.s living-wage ordinance, has also played a role. Last month, L&W attorneys showed up at a Santa Monica City Council meeting to argue that council members could not legally discuss KK during the meeting. This was a novel and creative argument, but since Assembly members and state senators routinely discuss proposed state initiatives on the floor of the Legislature, the council ignored it.
After looking at their polling, the hotels determined that the only way to beat the living wage in Santa Monica was to pretend that they supported it. They hired San Francisco consultant Mark Mosher, who came fresh from his victory in forestalling San Francisco (where living expenses have gone through the roof) from raising its living wage to $11 per hour. Mosher, in turn, hired a petition-gathering operation, which, KK opponents claim, paid its workers up to $20 per signature to qualify the measure for the November ballot. KKs opponents nearly succeeded in disqualifying the measure when hundreds of voters called the city clerk demanding their signatures be removed, after theyd learned the propositions real substance.
For the election proper, though, the hotels needed a real specialist in misdirection -- in J. Edgar Hoovers happy phrase, a master of deceit. Fortunately, the Dolphin Group was just down the road, in Westwood.
The Dolphin Group had worked with Nielsen, Merksamer on the Dump Bird campaign, but that was just one of its greatest hits. It labored on Gerald Fords presidential and Ronald Reagans and Deukmejians gubernatorial campaigns. More notably, it was the Dolphins who produced the notorious Willie Horton ads, exploiting racial fears that helped sink the 1988 presidential bid of Michael Dukakis. Over the past few years, the Group coordinated the establishment of an employer-dominated farm-worker union to combat the United Farm Workers campaign to organize strawberry workers. (The Dolphin Group did not return the Weeklys phone calls seeking comment on its campaigns.)
Most important, in 1994 the Group ran the unsuccessful campaign for Proposition 188 -- an initiative, funded entirely by the nations five major tobacco companies, that sought to pre-empt state and local restrictions on smoking in public with far weaker language. The Dolphins marketed 188 to the public, however, as a strict anti-smoking ordinance.
Proposition 188 went down to defeat when the opposition campaign informed voters that it was funded by such anti-smoking activists as Philip Morris, and KK opponents hope that a similar fate awaits the hotels initiative. Their own mailings will surely make clear the hotels support for KK, but, as longtime Santa Monica activist Vivian Rothstein pointed out during an anti-KK precinct walk last Saturday, the campaign has a real challenge before it. The hotels message, she said, is totally aimed at our base.
Just how tricky the task is that KKs opponents face was made clear during Saturdays walk through the citys Sunset Park neighborhood. Explaining that A is really Not A, in the few seconds that canvassers have to establish contact with voters at their door, is no simple matter. Thats why hotel workers make up the bulk of the walkers. Rothstein was accompanied on her rounds by a hotel housekeeper, who repeatedly shouted through screen doors, Im a hotel worker, and this doesnt help us at all!
Important as the battle for KK is for the future of the living wage -- and for our ability to combat poverty-wage work -- it may be almost as important as a test of the Big Lie in American political campaigns. Misrepresentation is a staple of our politics, of course, for which the late Lee Atwater and a small number of consultants have up to now set the standard -- but the boys of the Dolphin Group have just raised the bar to Goebbels-esque heights. Next to them, Atwater is George Washington bestride the cherry tree.

More Losses Likely
By Paul Cherney
The Nasdaq closed Monday's session below its 20-day exponential moving average of the close and odds are roughly eight in 10 that the index will print in the 1745-1705 area. (There is no specific time target; if the eight in 10 odds are going to come in, it should happen within as few as five trade days but maybe as many as 10 trade days unless some other technical condition emerges.)
The Nasdaq index has a layer of immediate support at 1803-1773 with a focus at 1803-1793 which will probably be used by short-term bearish traders as an opportunity to book short-side side profits, which would mean that it is a likely spot for a bounce to occur intraday.
The end of the quarter and quarterly management fees are based on the value of assets under management, marked to the market as of the close of trading on Thursday, Mar. 28 (the last trading day of the quarter), so there is an inspiration among money managers to try to keep prices from falling which might delay a test of the Nasdaq 1745-1705 area.
The Nasdaq has immediate intraday resistance in the 1824-1835.53 area, then 1851-1874.
The S&P 500 has immediate resistance 1142-1157. resistance actually runs 1142-1174.
The S&P 500 has immediate support 1130-1126 which, when tested, will probably produce a short-lived lift. There is considerable support for the S&P 500 in the 1130-1107 area and if prices slip below the focus in the 1130-1126 area, this broader band has a focus 1119-1113 which should prevent further price deterioration.

Know Your Liquor: Scotch, Whisky, Bourbon and Rye
It is not uncommon that at some point during my Friday/Saturday night, someone will confuse whisky, scotch, rye and bourbon.
It'll go something like this:
Ignorant Drinker: This scotch is really good!
Me (mumbling under my breath): Jack Daniels isn't scotch, it's a type of bourbon whisky…
But how does me being passive-agressive help you understand the differences between scotch, bourbon and whisky? Well, it doesn't. So I'm going to tell you about the differences.
The problem with calling a drink whisky is that it's misleading; it makes you think that whisky is a special drink that contains a special ingredient not found in scotch, bourbon, etc. This is false. Scotch, bourbon and rye are all types of whisky; they are all liquors distilled from fermented grain that are then aged in casks for a given period of time. When you think about scotch, bourbon and rye, imagine them as members of the whisky family. For the sake of this oversimplified explanation, let's consider anything that is not specifically scotch, bourbon or rye to be an unspecified member of the larger whisky family. Like that cousin you didn't realize was your cousin until you two were awkwardly introduced.
If whisky is a family, Rye is the whisky family's younger brother who tries too hard to be cool. Rye is a forage crop, not unlike wheat. There are two types of Rye liquor: American Rye and Canadian Rye. The former contains at least 51% rye and is usually not distilled above 160 Proof (80% alc). Rye is aged in oak casks, but usually they're new, so not much is added to the flavor. Unlike scotch, rye is not usually aged for very long. This is why it costs less at Rite-Aid.
You're more likely to have heard of Canadian Rye. The most famous Canadian Rye is Crown Royal, because it is over advertised. It's also widely considered the best Canadian Rye, because of its smooth taste and accessible flavor. Interestingly, Crown Royal usually avoids the word "rye" in its advertising, because it hopes you will confuse it for a bourbon, which are generally more popular in the United States.
If you're at Rite-Aid: Canadian Club is solid, especially if you're making a mixed drink. More affordable than the top shelf.
Scotch whisky is your successful uncle who doesn't show up to the family reunion [Ed. My Rabbi loves scotch]. As its name suggests, scotch encompasses all Scottish whisky (note: whisky can also be spelled whiskey, the latter is the American spelling), which is usually made from wheat and rye. There are two main types of scotch: single-malt and blended. When a scotch is called single-malt, is has been made with only water and malted-barely. For reasons that are beyond my comprehension of science, the water in Scotland produces whisky with a very smooth taste that can present strong and at times intricate flavors.
Blended scotches worth mentioning, because they're what you're most likely to run into on this campus (in terms of scotch). Because they are composed with wheat and rye from multiple different crops, blended whiskys are cheaper and a good way to figure out whether or not you like scotch. Blends are also usually younger whiskys. One of the best blended scotches is Johnnie Walker Black Label. I hear it's Christina Hendricks' favorite drink.
In the land of single malts, the word you need to remember is Speyside, a sliver of northern Scotland wherein some of the best are made. If you are in a liquor store and you know nothing about Scotch, buying one made in Speyside is probably your best guarantor of quality. Some of the most famous single-malt scotches are The Macallan, The Glenlivet and Glenfidditch. Because it is typically aged at least 10 years before bottling, even lower-end single malts can cost between $50 and $60. A note: there are not many single-malts that have a place in a mixed drink.
If you're at Rite-Aid: The Glenfidditch 12 Year Old is a good place to start. It comes in a green box.
Bourbon is your cousin that has more fun than you do. Bourbon is usually made from corn and derives its name from its roots in Bourbon County, Kentucky and French House of Bourbon, in that order. It is the South's contribution to American drinking culture. The best bourbons come from Tennessee and Kentucky, though there is a distinction in flavor betweens states. When your friends talk about Jack Daniels, they mean the Tennessee bourbon whisky (which is also the most popular whisky in the world). Bourbons are generally a rockier drink to take straight. Then again you don't hear about people getting shit-faced on scotch, do you.
Bourbon is an all-American drink, by which I mean Congress mandated in 1964 that only whisky produced in the US can be called bourbon. Most is produced in Kentucky. Because many popular bourbons are not very aged, Bourbon is generally less expensive than scotch (especially single malt) and more commonly found than Rye whisky. This means you can mix it or take it straight, though it won't go down as sweet as rum would.
If you're at Rite-Aid: Jack Daniels is probably best on the low end. If you have a little more to spend, Makers Mark is great.
There you have it. This is only a primer on whisky. Books and books have been written on the distinctions between each variety. Now go forth and impress your friends.
September 17, 2012 10:15 am
Sam, bro, you forgot about the most important rules of Bourbon: that it must be at least 51% corn, aged in brand new charred oak barrels for a minimum of 6 years, and produced in the USA. It's not just any old American distilled whiskey. 95% of the world's bourbon is distilled in Kentucky.
Woodford Reserve, in Kentucky, owns Jack Daniels and they make an awesome bourbon, though it's very pricey. Jack does not market itself as bourbon, rather as Tennessee whiskey.
A good-priced and good tasting bourbon is Bulleit, which also makes a delicious rye.
A great spring break trip would be to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail in the Lexington area, a visit to seven total distilleries. I tried to visit them all in a weekend and it was rough. I made 4 of 7, so I'm still working on it.
I am very happy that The Thrill is educating Kenyon about whiskeys! Stay away from Ancient Age, kids.
Love from your friend, the Bourbon Baroness and Whiskey Queen,
Nicolyn '12 -

Jack Daniels is exceedingly mediocre and overpriced. You can buy Evan Williams, a better bourbon, for about half the price. If you're gonna go with top shelf Woodford Reserve or Knob Creek are the ones.
Also it's anachronistic and strange to see you write "Tennessee Bourbon Whisky" for at least two reasons.
Anonymous permalinkSeptember 20, 2012 1:07 pm
Jack Daniel's is not Bourbon. Also it is not bourbon if it is not made in Kentucky.
Cray permalinkMarch 18, 2015 5:59 pm
Sorry, but you're wrong: Jack Daniel's meets every requirement to be called bourbon but they reject the label and instead chooses to be called Tennessee Whisky.
From Jack Daniel's Wiki Page: "The product meets the regulatory criteria for classification as a straight bourbon, though the company disavows this classification and markets it simply as Tennessee whiskey rather than as Tennessee bourbon.[6][7] As defined in the North American Free Trade Agreement, Tennessee Whiskey is classified as a straight bourbon authorized to be produced in the state of Tennessee.[8]"

Visiting a whisky distillery in two weeks. Holla! Also, FUN FACT: I saw a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue King George V Edition at a whisky store last week…it runs between £8,000 and £10,000!!! Apparently this edition was aged in the original casks or whatevs from 1934…WHAT.

FWIW Its Irish Whiskeys that are spelt with an "E". Whiskies from Scotland are always spelt without an "E" from what I've learnt..

John M, I can't decide if that is the funniest or the saddest thing I have ever read.

Horrible and inaccurate article along with similiar comments.
Uggh! -

Probably the worst article on whisk(e)y I've ever read. The facts are so mangled it could be mistaken for a car wreck.

-" Books and books have been written on the distinctions between each variety"
You should have read a couple of them before writing this drivel.
Anonymous permalinkJune 28, 2013 6:56 pm
Wow… Just, wow.
Please revise this article – you've missed/gotten wrong as much as you got right.
Blended Scotch doesn't contain "wheat and rye" – it's Scotch, blended with GNS (grain neutral spirit).
Rye isn't what you think it is – most rye costs MORE than similarly aged bourbon, and any lack of age is a byproduct of demand. There are amazing 10, 13, 18, 21 year old ryes – and they are far more pricey, and rare, than bourbon counterparts.
Crown Royal isn't a Rye whiskey – it's a Canadian Whiskey. And Canadians can call some things rye that aren't really, but most of their non-rye offerings are called Canadian Whiskey.
And the comments are laughable –
"has to be made in Kentucky to be Bourbon?" FALSE
"Must be aged 6 years" – FALSE (2 years to be "straight"), and if made in KY, it's gotta be aged 1 year/1day
Scotch has to be aged 3 years at least
Woodford & Makers "top shelf"? Mid-shelf by price, and bottom shelf by actual qualityAppreciate the effort, but

After thinking about it….maybe this article is just one big joke.

The good folks at the Glenfiddich distillery would probably appreciate it if you spelled their whisky's name correctly. And all of them would appreciate if you didn't bastardize the pool of good information about scotch whisky.

Jack Daniels isn't scotch, it isnt even a bourbon either. it is a "Tennessee whiskey". wont even say bourbon on the bottle.
Michael Slack permalinkMay 6, 2016 10:32 pm
Uh, you pose as an expert?
Let us explain basics to you. Jack Daniels is not a Bourbon. It is a Tennessee sippin' whiskey. Bourbons come only from Bourbon County, Kentucky.

LIVE BLOG: The annual scrimmage
I'm going to try to keep you as updated as I can here, but it might get sporadic later.
Whoever had Joe Suhey in the "first player to score a TD in the Blue-White Game" pool is your winner. He just plunged in from three years out, and the Blue team leads 7-0. Nice march upfield against a pretty good defense.
UPDATE, 2:06: Here are the starters.
QB: Clark
RB: Royster
WR: Moye
WR: Powell
WR Zug
TE: Quarless
RT: Landolt
RG: Troutman
C: Wisniewski
LG: Eliades
LT: Poti
LE: Crawford
LT: Odrick
RT: Koroma
RE: Latham
OLB: Mauti
MLB: Hull
OLB: Stupar
CB: Timmons
SAF: Astorino
SAF: Jeffries
CB: Wallace
QB: Newsome
RB: Beachum
FB: Federoff
WR: Brackett
WR McDonald
TE: Szczerba
RT: Farrell
RG: Terry
C: Barham
LG: Stankiewitch
LT: Pannell
LE: Golarz
LT: Ware
RT: Obama, er, Okoli
RE: Stewart
OLB: Ditto
MLB: Colasanti
OLB: Gbadyu
CB: Fentress
SAF: Hodges
SAF: Sukay
CB: Lynn
UPDATE, 2:15: Defensive end Pete Massaro is being helped off the field. Paterno said this morning he's been playing well. Tough break right now for a kid known as a hard worker.
UPDATE, 2:23: The first quarter just ended, and Clark played all but four plays. The backups haven't gotten a look yet, but hey, it's because the Blue offensive line is getting it done and Derek Moye is making some big catches upfield. Have to like the way that line has played so far.
UPDATE, 2:26: Good news is that Kevin Newsome just completed his first pass — a slant to A.J. Price. Bad news is, Gerald Hodges lit Price up like Times Square for catching it. Price did hold on, though. Hodges cuts an imposing figure back in the secondary.
UPDATE, 2:28: Good news is, Newsome just completed his second pass, over the middle to Szczerba. Bad news is, Hodges just flattened Szczerba. He's playing his game, the kid is. But at the same time, he can't be crushing his teammates.
UPDATE, 2:32: Game is going to be tied, courtesy of Newsome's first TD pass, a ball beautifully thrown to Brackett in the back of the end zone. Hodges couldn't get to the spot, and Brackett was pretty wide open on a streak. Ten-play, 80-yard drive orchestrated by the kid who was in high school four months ago.
UPDATE, 2:34: McGloin in for the Blue Team, and his first play is a 22-yard completion over the middle to Quarless. He's out of the shotgun now, and just hit Quarless on an out to the right sideline for 7. Nice throw.
UPDATE, 2:37: McGloin's next throw batted down by a rushing Jack Crawford. His next one, a screen to Suhey, who picked up 12 on the run.
UPDATE, 2:38: Ako Poti being helped off the field now. Second injury of the day, both to legs. Neither looked good.
Interesting, by the way, that Mcgloin's first two passes were to his tight end. He made a pretty good living throwing to his tight end at West.
As I type, McGloin has thrown a touchdown. Fade to the right corner of the end zone, to a wide open Graham Zug.
Man, did Matt look sharp. Four-for-5 on the drive. Unoficially, 60 yards.
UPDATE, 2:49: Another big moment for District 2. Meyers graduate Gino Ranieri just caught a touchdown pass from QB shane McGregor, to pull the Blue team within a point.
UPDATE, 3:11: Here are the spring practice award winners:
- Jim O'Hora Award (Defense) — LB Michael Mauti
- Red Worrell Award (Offense) — WR Graham Zug
- Frank Patrick Award (Total committment) — WR Brett Brackett
UPDATE, 3:27: It has been exclusively McGloin and Newsome taking the snaps in the second half. McGloin's White team went three-and-out on its first drive, but he has them driving with 1:18 to go in the third quarter.
UPDATE, 3:29: That tricky Matt McGloin just got the White team inside the 10-yard line on a 28-yard sneak around right end. It was sprung by a huge block from Raneri, who had the hit of the day by clearing out defensive end Jonathan Stewart in the open field. It has been a great day for District 2, really. Those two guys have represented themselves very well.
Just announced that 76,500 is the attendance. The third-straight year an attendance record was broken.
UPDATE, 3:33: McGloin just capped the drive with a really well-thrown touchdown pass to J.D. Mason along the chalk in the back of the end zone. Cornerback Devin Fentress nearly knocked the pass down, but McGloin threw it in exactly the right spot. It's 21-13 in favor of the White.
UPDATE, 3:41: Former Lackawanna Trail track star Stephen Joseph is in at cornerback for the Blue team. He'll be a terrific story someday if he makes any kind of impact.

northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??

northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??Hey guys, I live in right near Fairfax and was wondering if there are any ranges that allow 18+ year olds to rent rifles to shoot. I am also active in the Navy if that helps any.
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??Silver Eagle in Ashburn rents a limited assortment of rifles but you have to be 21 to even use the range.
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??I don't know for sure, but Blue Ridge Arsenal has rifles to rent. I'm unaware of age restrictions but you could just give them a ring.
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??I could have sworn Blue Ridge had a couple of rifles for rent, but then I haven't been in there in a few years...
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??http://www.indoorrange.com/ check out The Range ( yes that is the name and can be googled ) in stafford county, Va just off US Rt 1....many weapons to rent... click on their weapons for rent when you get to the site.. good luck
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??If you buy some ammo you can tag along with me. Shoot me a pm.
I invite everyone to come to the range with me. It's as simple as letting me know what day you want to meet up.
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??Damn really? The guy is 18 and in the Navy but can't shoot any guns. I know it has to be a little different in the Navy but you guys don't have any kind of proficiency training? Really seems strange that people in the armed services would have to resort to something like that.

Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??
When did they start allowing rifles?
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??
Pistol calibers only ( some cals not allowed ) Paul & Bing are good guys.
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??The Range in Stafford does allow rim fire rifles (.22'sLR only, no magnums or shorts). Short lanes but fun none the less if you pick up some of those sticky back targets at Walmart. If they rent rifles it will only be 22's of course. They do rent out glocks and you need to buy their reloads with the rentals.
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??Try Sharpshooters in Lorton. They just renovated and now allow assault rifle calibers. They've always allowed and rented rimfires.
[ Post made via Mobile Device ]
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??Peacemaker just over the border in WV rents 'em. Peacemakernational.com
northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??Have you tried to piggyback with any marine units nearby? Sometimes the NCOIC or Group leader won't mind one bit so long as your chain of command is aware and allows it. We used to get the occasional airman piggyback with us when I was active army. It won't cost you anything and you get to use your issued weapon.
Might be worth looking into. I had a SCAR 17 and 16. I also had a bunch of Glocks and a couple H&K pistols. Oh and a DDM4, but I sold everything when our government told me these dangerous tools can actually hurt someone. Apparently they grow legs and go on killing sprees.
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??If you try Blue Ridge, call them first. Someone told me they only allow handguns now, although I'm not positive. Either way I believe the lanes are only 25 yards.
For $35 you can become a member of the NRA and use their range in Fairfax. I believe they are either 100 or 150 yards and do allow rifles. Unfortunately they do not rent, so you would either have to buy one or find someone who has one).
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??Hey Jester, SharpShooters has 2 official rifles to rent, a AR15 as well as a AK47. We also have a 22lr in an AR15 platform, a shotgun and 2 9mm carbines. As long as you are a member it is 10 dollars to rent the firearm, plus the cost of the ammo. The good thing is that the 10 dollars is a one time fee for the duration of your visit, so you can exchange one firearm for another one with out any additional rental fees; you only need to purchase any additional ammo.
Re: northern virginia 18+ rifle rental??
Disregard the bold part. They definitely still allow rifles. The person was wrong.

What does the Bible have to say about holistic medicine?
Question: "What does the Bible have to say about holistic medicine?"
Answer: Holistic medicine is defined as a system of health care which fosters a cooperative relationship among all those involved (patient, family, and healthcare professional), leading towards optimal attainment of the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of health. According to the American Holistic Health Association, "Ancient healing traditions, as far back as 5,000 years ago in India and China, stressed living a healthy way of life in harmony with nature. Socrates (4th century B.C.) warned against treating only one part of the body 'for the part can never be well unless the whole is well.' Although the term holism was introduced by Jan Christiaan Smuts in 1926 as a way of viewing living things as 'entities greater than and different from the sum of their parts,' it wasn't until the 1970s that holistic became a common adjective in our modern vocabulary."
Holistic medicine seeks to address all systems of the individual to improve health, heal disease, and maximize well-being. The holistic belief is that health has more than just a physical component and is, in fact, also related to the mental, emotional, social and spiritual state of the individual. To be healthy, all facets of a person must be addressed, and all must be treated for there to be true health. Healthcare professionals using the holistic approach work in partnership with their patients. They recommend treatments that support the body's natural healing system and consider the whole person and the whole situation. Alternative methods of therapy included under the umbrella of holistic medicine include, but are not limited to, nutrition, herbal medicine, spinal manipulation, body work medicine, "energy medicine," spiritual attunement, relaxation training and stress management, biofeedback and acupuncture.
The maximizing of health is certainly line with the Scriptures. The Bible is clear that we are to take good care of our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) as they are the temple of the Holy Spirit. There are many verses that speak of using "medical treatments" such as applying bandages (Isaiah 1:6), oil (James 5:14), oil and wine (Luke 10:34), leaves (Ezekiel 47:12), wine (1 Timothy 5:23), and salves, particularly the "balm of Gilead" (Jeremiah 8:22). Many of these treatments would be considered holistic today, as holistic medicine often shies away from drugs and surgery at least as first treatments. In addition, many Christians have benefitted from principles embodied in holistic medicine.
One word of caution is in order. Many holistic health advocates recommend techniques for spiritual wellness that may ultimately be in conflict with Scripture and even become open doors for demonic activity. Because of its roots in ancient Eastern cultures, holistic medicine often advocates transcendental meditation, a technique for emptying the mind and becoming "one with the universe." It encourages participants to seek the answers to life's difficult questions within their own conscience instead of in the Word of God. It also leaves one open to deception from God's enemy, who searches for victims that he can turn away from God (1 Peter 5:8). For the Christian, meditation should center on the Word of God, His attributes, and the beauty of Jesus Christ, the Great Physician.

The Town of New Castle will flip to state Senator Greg Ball's District 40, under proposed maps released Thursday by a redistricting group comprised of state legislators.
The switch, which leaves Mount Kisco in District 40, is part of several major changes to Ball's territory that have it shifting southward. Other changes include losses of Bedford, western Putnam County and most of eastern Dutchess County. The district also gains the Town of Mount Pleasant, including its villages of Pleasantville and Sleepy Hollow. It retains the rest of its current territory.
"I am proud to have the opportunity to represent the seniors, veterans, small business owners, taxpayers and hardworking families in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties," Ball (R-Patterson) said in a press release. "As a Senator I welcome the new and exciting opportunity to now fight and deliver for both New Castle and Mount Pleasant."
Redistricting for the state legislature, as well as the U.S. House of Representatives, is done every 10 years to account for population changes in the federal Census. This year, a 63rd state Senate seat has been added for the proposal.
Currently, New Castle is placed in Senate District 37 and is represented by Mamaroneck Democrat Suzi Oppenheimer. She is retiring and what is now her district will look dramatically different under the proposed map. It will gain Bedford, Eastchester, Bronxville, Tuckahoe, and part of Yonkers. It will also lose Scarsdale, which displaces Republican candidate Bob Cohen from the district.
Whether or not the maps for senate and assembly are approved is in doubt. According to published media reports, a Cuomo spokesman said the new lines are "simply unacceptable" and that they could be vetoed. (ARTICLE)

Education: The Global Warming Challenge
Posted by in Activist groups, Energy, Environment, Global Warming on February 6, 2010
Many of the activists on Global Warming don't believe that educating people about this crises works, that education won't do any good for those who refuse to be educated. Or that people in Utah who are not on our side won't be educate; or some variant of these.
What I see, however is that the best scientists and leaders of the movement are right now trying desperately to educate. James Hansen is one example. His lecture on Monday night at UNC, Chapel Hill is here.
Why I say education is needed, and we need it ourselves, is that the science and the data related to Global Warming (GW) and Climate Change (CC) are constantly changing. The implications and likely results of what we are doing becomes more dire each week. If we want to ask for policy changes and personal changes because of GW & CC, it would seem that we should know the situation, at least have conversational knowledge of the topic, or we should know where to go to get the current best information. We probably need that at-hand if we are going to talk to those in our communities about it, deniers or not. So education and accurate communication is crucial when the situation gets more dire each week.
Much of the science is straightforward, much of the data is clear and simple. I don't think that learning the science of GW & CC—at least to get to understand that catastrophe is soon approaching–is more difficult than learning how to drive. Yet, we learn driving because we see it as necessary to operate in our world. Because GW & CC is not yet seen as necessary to understand by many, perhaps most, does not mean that we can't take the position that it is important for everyone to understand the basic science and data.

Featured Blu-ray / DVD Review: Moonrise Kingdom
October 14th, 2012
Moonrise Kingdom - Buy from Amazon: DVD or Blu-ray Combo Pack
I have seen nearly everything Wes Anderson has ever made and I've liked most of it. I was disappointed by The Darjeeling Limited, but loved The Fantastic Mr. Fox. His latest film is Moonrise Kingdom, a story of young love set in 1965 with an ensemble cast, including two newcomers in the central two roles. It became one of his biggest hits, but was it also one of his best?
After looking in for a bit on the Bishop family (Walt and Laura, plus Suzy and their three younger brothers) we are introduced to their home, the island of New Penzance.
New Penzance is also the home to Camp Ivanhoe, which is where the Khaki Scouts are having their summer retreat. After an early morning inspection by Scoutmaster Randy Ward, it is discovered one of the scouts, Sam Shakusky, is missing. He left a letter of resignation, stole some gear, and ran away. No one is sure why, although he's not a popular among the other Scouts. Randy calls the police, Captain Sharp, who calls Sam's parents. His parents turn out to be his foster family, who decide not to invite him back. Nonetheless, the search is on for Sam. The rest of the Khaki Scouts fan out to look for him, and they all bring weapons. Captain Sharp drives along the dirt roads and pathways talking to the residents on the small island, eventually getting to the Bishop's house, which is on the opposite end of the island.
When we are finally introduced to Sam, we see him canoeing down a stream to his eventual goal, Suzy. The pair met last year when the local church held a performance of an Opera based on the Noah's ark story and Suzy played the Raven. There was a connection and the pair became pen pals deciding to reunite the following year and run away together and live on a secluded part of the island, which they name Moonrise Kingdom. (This is not a very good plan.)
It isn't till much later that night that Suzy's parents realize she's run away as well, but once that happens, the search has extra urgency. The next morning, Captain Sharp organizes the scouts into searching parties and even calls in Jed, the pilot who delivers the mail, to fly over the island looking for them.
This is probably a good place to end plot summary. As for the review, I could probably safely sum it up in five words, "It's a Wes Anderson film." It has everything people have come to expect from one of his films, including the overload of quirky characters and a style that can be over-the-top at times. Nothing in this movie feels 100% real, not the characters, not the dialogue, not the situations. However, while in the hands of a lesser filmmaker, this would be fatal, Wes Anderson makes it work. To be fair, Wes Anderson, co-writer Roman Coppola, and the incredible cast make it work. I'm not surprised veterans like Edward Norton or Frances McDormand are great in this film, while Bill Murray has been in practically every film Wes Anderson has made and he's at home in this world. I'm more impressed by the two youngsters. This is the first film for both Kara Hayward and Jared Gilman, but they handle their strange roles extremely well. I look forward to seeing them in more films.
There's a real emotional heart to this film that helps it rise above the style. While the characters definitely come from the imagination of Wes Anderson, they are compelling enough as real people that you'll want to follow their journey.
There are only three extras on the Blu-ray, starting with A Look Inside, which is only three minutes long. Next up is the four-part Welcome to the Island of New Penzance, which is a six-minute look at Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, and Wes Anderson. That's six minutes in total, not six minutes each. Finally, there is a three-minute set tour with Bill Murray. That's it. Seriously. Twelve minutes of featurettes is not enough, even for a limited release.
Moonrise Kingdom was shot in Super 16mm, so you shouldn't be too surprised to learn the video quality is not up to the same level as most first run releases made today. There's more grain than in most movies, a lot of shots are a little soft, and the colors are muted. However, all of these issues are intentionally aesthetic choices and none can really be used to complain about the transfer. It might not look as sharp as the average first-run film, but the Blu-ray really captures the look of the film, and the film does look beautiful in its own way. The audio is very good. Granted, the film is dialogue driven and for the most part it is very front-and-center. There are some scenes with good separation and directionality. There's enough ambient sounds and the music from the rear speakers to feel lively enough. Also, in the climactic storm scenes, the surround sound speakers and the subwoofer get a workout.
The Blu-ray Combo Pack costs $20, which is $3 or less than 20% more than the DVD. That's a good deal.
I called The Fantastic Mr. Fox Wes Anderson's best film when I reviewed it. However, I think Moonrise Kingdom might have topped it. Those who hate his style should probably stay away, but even casual fans of his previous work should love it. I'm disappointed with the weak extras on the DVD and the Blu-ray Combo Pack, but it is still worth picking up.

This review is from: MEElectronics White Ceramic In-Ear Headset w/ Remote for iPhone & Smartphones (CC51P)
Pros: The sound is nice, especially when used with a headphone amp to act as an inline equalizer and volume control. Case is nice. Has a good look.
Cons: Poor quality. First one had the right earbud DOA. Replacement was used very carefully, at a desktop where there wasn't any plugging/unplugging or additional strain. The wiring still has problems in less than a year (in at least 3 places- including at the mic, which I never used). I can't imagine how quickly it would have failed if I was using it on a device in my pocket where the wires would have bent regularly. The heads for the earbuds seem to have inconsistent sizes. My first set had fittings that were almost impossibly tight. The second one had several types of earbuds that fit well, and several that were extremely tight. Seems to be poor quality control.
Other Thoughts: These seem to go on sale often, and their good sound quality is alluring, but the high (normal) price tag doesn't seem to reflect high quality. If you're looking for some earbuds to try out to see if you like them better than standard 'phones, this could be a good buy. Just don't expect them to last out the year.

Pink Sands Love

I love you Miranda!
I'm so happy you and Jim found each other and are enjoying life together...
Harbor Island
Trip Start
Dec 14, 2007
Trip End
The island is very narrow and can be walked across to the Atlantic side in 10 minutes. Jim and I opted not to rent one of the many golf carts roaming the island. We needed to walk. So that's what we did. We found the cafe I ate at 3 years ago with my brother Grant, Layne and mother. It was the best meal we had had in the Bahamas. Can't remember the name of it off the top of my head. Then we circumnavigated the island passing by the very old loyalist cottages and churches. Most of the buildings where constructed in the 18th century. They were cute, pastel and rickity, though some had gone through a remodel. There was also a new resort that had been recently built. The condos modeled themselves after the 18th century architecture but on a grander scale. The resort was called Valentine's, and boasted a gorgeous new marina where world class multimillion dollor yachts moored themselves.
After walking for about an hour we found ourselves on the pink sand beach on the Atlantic side of the island. The sand was soft and felt squishy between my toes. We found two lounge chairs in the middle of the beach with no one about, so we anchored ourselves to them and relaxed. It was a beautiful day. Since we've been here the Atlantic side has been windy and the water rough. But today it was calm and the ocean shades of blue where more than what Crayola could come up with.
Eventually, 6 horses meandered by unteathered by any reigns or human. They freely frolicked and took themselves for a dip at the oceans shore. One of them rubbed their backs riggourously against the sand. It was so cute! Then they chased each other up and down the coastline and finally up and over the dune.
After about an hour of pure relaxation we walked up the beach to my favorite spot, which I had wanted to return to with my new love, the Pink Sand Hotel. I fell in love with this spot the last time I was here. The hotel was an eclectic mix of Moroccan, Balinese and Bahamian design. It was artistic and quirky with a sense of elegance. As we entered the lounge I was astonished to see a change of scenery. It was luxurious, European modern and sleek. It still had some Balinese characteristics but it had been updated for a celebrity type crowd. Turns out the hotel was bought over and remodeled. The Moroccan feel was gone and replaced by the overused swankyness of the modern era. It was gorgeous, but the artistic quirkiness that made it so unique was gone.
We were hungry and walked around to find a restaurant but everything we looked at was super expensive. Forty five dollars for an entre? I don't think so! So we headed home back to Eleuthera and settled for the Sunset Inn where we just missed the sunset. Oh well, we were still able to enjoy our new friend, Kevin's art. It hung all over the walls, depicting scenes of Bahamian life. The colors where magnificent. His work shows in Europe and the states.
It was the first day Jim and I had to ourselves in a month and it was wonderful.

Dear Friend of St. Athanasius Academy:
THE NAME JESUS: We properly unite the word Nativity with the prophecy of Isaiah (OSB- Is. 9:5) and the marvel of Mary giving birth to her son, though she knew no man. We rightly praise her as the mother of our God – the Theotokos. For within her womb, she held the uncontainable divine person Jesus – the Word of the Father, and the "I" of the I Am – the Existing One (Ex 3:14).

Forums >General Running>brief switch of climates
Thanks for all the shopping advice. I haven't been home for Christmas in about a decade, so I hope they're open on Christmas eve. I arrive on the 23rd, but that day is gonna be a wash (18 hours of travel time with my darling 5 year old). I've always felt a little guilty going to goodwill or salvation army, as I'm not really needy, but I guess I'll check out walmart or target. Or just tough it out with what I've got. I appreciate all the ideas, thanks again.
Don't feel guilty about shopping at Goodwill. You don't have to be needy. In fact, the money you spend there supports their programs. (No, I've never investigated their finances, but they do have programs of all sorts.)

Most third world nations are associated with one main crop that they export for profit, colloquially we refer to them as banana republics. This means that instead of growing food to feed a nation, farmers are producing a crop for profit, which means that third world citizens are vastly undernourished in comparison to first world citizens. We have commodified agriculture to the point where have devalued its main purpose – sustenance.
Malawi 's main export product is tobacco for the US and Europe. Children working in this industry make an average of eighteen cents US, per twelve hour day. If they do not complete the work assigned to them for the day, their pay is deducted. Within that twelve hour period they are given one break for lunch and this often constitutes the only meal that they will eat for the day. 4.7 percent of the children that labour in the tobacco industry have never attended school. Those that do attend school, must balance their studies with their labour.
Unlike many kids in the west, who get paper routes for pocket money, these children labour to provide food for their families, pay school fees, uniform fees, the purchase of fertilizer and seed ,as well as to insure that their homes or shelters are in a liveable condition. These children work for the necessities of life that so many in the western world take for granted, with our sense of entitlement.
The problem I have drawn is that the work I do is beyond my size. It is
painful for me. (boy, 12, L)
We are given a heavy job that is beyond our level and when we don't
finish the job the trouble goes over to our parents because they will be
told that their children are failing to do the job. (girl, 15, K)My story is about going to the maize field to weed, from there I am then
told to go to fetch water using a very big can and from there they said
the water is not enough so I could continue fetching more water. So the
problem that we're facing is that whenever I'm done with fetching water, I
must go back to weeding in the maize field. From there they tell me to
cut the trees after that I'll go to pick the tobacco and whenever I am
feeling tired, they hit me so I must still do all the things they instructed
me to do. Sometimes I am instructed to go to pound the maize and when
I fail to do that as I have to be quick I have to stop so that I can go to the
field again. Sometimes when they fight with me about the work I need to
do I just run away. (girl, 15, K)
If this were not enough, the children also inhale the equivalent of fifty cigarettes a day during their labour. They report shortness of breath, coughing, and coughing up blood. Some researches further believe that the intake of nicotine, is extremely damaging for a child's brain chemistry, in that it acts very differently in them than adults.
Their problems do not stop there. As with many other vulnerable workers world wide they are subject to sexual and physical abuse: You may find the boss or supervisor may make a girl pregnant more Sometimes you do not get paid because the boss has not registered When you're working and you feel like resting. They (supervisors) come Tobacco is is just one of the many products that we consume that is produced by slave labour. Each day when we make our purchases, we give little thought to where these commodities actually come from. Whether it is the cheaply produced clothing in Walmart, the sweet tasting chocolate bar, or the bitter cup of coffee, all of these items come at a cost that is much more than what we actually pay for them. When we read or see stories about child labour, we feel sorry for these children and yet their images rapidly leave our mind, the moment we begin to consume because our economy and indeed our very way of life is built upon consumerism rather than subsistence. In truth, we don't want to live to like them and firmly believe that any change that involves reducing our economic privilege would lead to a life without convenience and that is not something that we are ready to tolerate. There are those that would say that more development is the path to global equalization and yet we know that due to unfair trading practices, any further change is likely to favour western nations. Though a finished product is far more likely to result in larger profit, third world nations are penalized through tariffs and are therefore forced to export raw material, thus using up their natural resources at a much higher rate to equal the same amount of profit. This way of life that we have chosen is not only hubris, it is plain madness. The planet cannot sustain this rate of development. As third world countries seek to industrialize, we further deplete our natural resources and release toxins into the air and water. In the west we judge them for this behaviour, forgetting how we marvelled over the smoke stacks in London and other urban areas during industrialization. We need to rethink what we think of as progress and begin to factor in the human, as well as environmental cost. These children are beaten, sexually abused, uneducated and over worked, all for the sake of a cigarette. It has been said repeatedly, that the love of money is the route of all evil and the testimonies of Malawian children certainly affirm this. For more information, please contact:
especially the teenage girls, the young ones.
Because of the difficulties at home girls can agree to sleep with the
supervisor to get some money.
Sometimes the supervisor proposes to the girl at the job and the girls
agree then their work is less but they get the same money. (girls and
boys, M)
you. Because he wants to sleep with you and then you say no. Then there is
a lot of problems. They just call your name but they don't record it and
at the end of the month you get less pay because they did not record your name every day. They punish you like this. It happened to me. The boss asked me. I said no and he doesn't register my name.
to you and shout at you. Sometimes when you are digging and you want to stretch so you stand up straight he comes to you to say, 'don't stretch, come on keep on working!' something like that. Or you just want to go and drink water and they send you back. They shout.They also beat. At the back, anywhere, as long as you're close by they hit you. You go to drink water, the minute the boss sees you he says, 'Don't go, go back to your work!' and because you are thirsty you want the water, when you insist he beats you.

The birch asks us to take root in new soil; be bright and beautiful. The birch is also associated with the sun. It facilitates passion, energy and growth.

Because he broke his jaw last season, there has to be some concern any time Steve Wagner takes an elbow to the head like he did last night. But as it turns out, Wagner won't miss much time at all. Coach John Hynes said after practice today that Wagner won't play tomorrow in Philadelphia, but he could be back in the lineup as soon as Saturday.
Practice was optional today. About half the team skated and the other half worked out off the ice. Then the whole team had a meeting with a sports psychologist.
Talked to Eric Tangradi about playing in his hometown tomorrow night. As always, he's a great interview. He had interesting things to say about the reputation of Philly hockey fans and the pressure he'll feel playing in front of four boxes full of friends and family members (a total of about 72 people). Check that out in tomorrow's paper.
Three links before I go.
Thanks to Eric P, here's the Sill-Kennedy fight from last night. You can always find more from him on the Pensblog's Wilkesblog.
Also, looks like Dustin Jeffrey will be getting top-line minutes tonight in New Jersey. I have to be in the office tonight, so I won't be able to see the game. If you watch the game and have a minute, drop by the comment section and give your review of how he does.
Finally, a bizarre story about Bridgeport heavyweight Jeremy Yablonski getting picked up for shoplifting from a Costco.
Bye for now,

A huge blizzard apparently whisked George up to the Sky, she wants Banjo and Kazooie to go and find George for her. Instead however Kazooie fires a Grenade Egg at her causing her to explode into a million pieces, this results in you being able to aquire the Jinjo that she had inside of her.

Russ Baker is an award-winning investigative reporter with a track record for making sense of complex and little understood matters-and explaining it to elites and ordinary people alike, using entertaining, accessible writing to inform and involve.
Over the course of more than two decades in journalism, Baker has broken scores of major stories. Topics included: early reporting on inaccuracies in the articles of The New York Times's Judith Miller that built support for the invasion of Iraq; the media campaign to destroy UN chief Kofi Annan and undermine confidence in multilateral solutions; revelations by George Bush's biographer that as far back as 1999 then-presidential candidate Bush already spoke of wanting to invade Iraq; the real reason Bush was grounded during his National Guard days – as recounted by the widow of the pilot who replaced him; an article published throughout the world that highlighted the West's lack of resolve to seriously pursue the genocidal fugitive Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, responsible for the largest number of European civilian deaths since World War II; several investigations of allegations by former members concerning the practices of Scientology; corruption in the leadership of the nation's largest police union; a well-connected humanitarian relief organization operating as a cover for unauthorized US covert intervention abroad; detailed evidence that a powerful congressional critic of Bill Clinton and Al Gore for financial irregularities and personal improprieties had his own track record of far more serious transgressions; a look at the practices and values of top Democratic operative and the clients they represent when out of power in Washington; the murky international interests that fueled both George W. Bush's and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaigns; the efficacy of various proposed solutions to the failed war on drugs; the poor-quality televised news program for teens (with lots of advertising) that has quietly seeped into many of America's public schools; an early exploration of deceptive practices by the credit card industry; a study of ecosystem destruction in Irian Jaya, one of the world's last substantial rain forests.
Baker has written for The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, The Nation, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Village Voice and Esquire and dozens of other major domestic and foreign publications. He has also served as a contributing editor to the Columbia Journalism Review. Baker received a 2005 Deadline Club award for his exclusive reporting on George W. Bush's military record.

I've been playing around with Sims 3 code for Eurogamer for a few weeks now. Impressions start like this…
I'm not sure what my highlight so far has been. It may have been having a guy die while making out with me, before immediately proceeding to call up his sister, have a little mourn, flirt, make out, ask out and then dump her, whilst standing over the grave of the brother. Or it may have been discovering the patriarch of the town has a daughter, who I end up going out with, only to dump brutally, before hearing the patriarch has died, chatting up the widow in the gym (I ask her if she's single – surprise, she is!), and flirting with her enough to go steady. All in front of a crowd, including the upset daughter. Before dumping the widow. Only to later, in my dotage, get back together with the daughter and move into their epic townhouse.
Ah, business is good. Or at least slutty.
And continue ever-onwards. Review before launch. And RPS-members-in-game, obv.
