Dont let GOP get away with debt ploy
Send a message: We don't like the GOP playing a game of chicken with the fragile economy.
As I was driving home from Portland several weeks ago I listened to a story on National Public Radio about the history of the debt ceiling.
Suddenly the GOP strategy hit me between the eyes. They are very serious about holding President Obama and the Democrats hostage over this issue.
Last month, Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va) left the Biden budget talks in a huff over ending tax breaks for the rich.
We have until early August 2 to resolve this issue. However, if the GOP refuses to negotiate a reasonable compromise which includes a combination of higher taxes and program cuts, then the end-game will be to allow the United States to default on its debt, which will force the Congress and the President to cut or close down one of three programs: the defense budget, Social Security or Medicare.
There is no way any Republican or Democrat heading into an election season is going to cut defense spending, especially when we have American forces engaged in conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
So the obvious ploy of the GOP is to force a default, then to cut or gut the two most important safety-net programs in the United States: Social Security and Medicare.
In this light what can a voter do?
In Oregon we have a unique opportunity to send a message, which will resonate, around the nation.
Congressman Greg Walden, who represents the 2nd Congressional District which includes all of eastern Oregon and a bit of southern Oregon, just happens to be the chairman of the House Republican Leadership caucus. That means he is a key strategist for fellow Republican and Speaker of the House, John Boehner.
This means Walden is thigh deep in this smarmy strategy of bringing the U.S. and world economy to its knees in order to cut the federal budget not by billions but by trillions as Boehner has promised to do.
The only way to fight this retreat into another Great Depression is to send the GOP leadership a loud and clear message that Oregonians aren't going to stand for this.
Oregonians have a way of sending this message: to recall Walden as a member of Congress.
It's a blunt political weapon but given the serious issue - and the timing - it's the best way to send the message for the GOP to negotiate seriously with the Democratic Senate and the President.
Power politics is the only tune to which the Tea Party/GOP clique will listen.
Oregon law permits Oregon residents to recall state officials. It's not clear whether we can recall a U.S. Congressman. Such an effort would no doubt be tested in the courts. So what?
The point is to get Walden's attention and to send a clear message that we don't like the GOP playing a game of chicken with a fragile economy.
We can't wait until the 2012 election. Recall Walden now.
Send Rep. Walden your own message that you will support his recall if he doesn't help turn this political version of the Titanic around before we all go down together - seniors, the U.S. economy and the world's economy - in another Great Depression! (You can send an email through his website: www.walden.house.gov).
Residents of the Forest Grove School District and the City of Cornelius are understandably upset about recent decisions by their local leaders.
If we let the GOP get away with this slash and burn strategy on the federal budget there will be no money in the till as debt managers around the world reduce the U.S. Treasury to junk-bond status.
Since recall is on the agenda - include Walden!

FHWA celebrates re-connected San Bernardino
In 1959, if you happened to be driving in San Bernardino, California, a new freeway there could have provided you with a modern transportation route. Unfortunately, it also kept one part of town separated from the other.
But not anymore.
Last week, I traveled to California and joined officials from Caltrans, the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) and the City of San Bernardino at a ribbon-cutting for the I-215 widening project. This was a big undertaking and a special endeavor for a lot of reasons.
Caltrans and SANBAG replaced bridges and added two freeway lanes in each direction for more than seven miles, along with direct connectors at the State Route 210 interchange. Adding two freeway lanes --one general purpose lane and one HOV lane-- in each direction makes I-215 considerably wider and safer for the 130,000 drivers expected to use the corridor each day.
More importantly to many area residents, the improved I-215 reopens access to and from San Bernardino's Westside, connecting it with the rest of the city for the first time in more than a half-century.
Just as in many other cities across America, when the original freeway came through, it isolated the Westside community, choking economic development. Today, as Secretary Foxx said, "This project will rejuvenate a community and connect parts of this city that have been separated for decades."
The word "connections" is bandied about a lot in the highway business, sometimes to the point that it becomes abstract and hard to experience. But for the people of San Bernardino's Westside, the new I-215 is a concrete example --no pun intended-- of what real transportation connections make possible and how important they are for neighbors and businesses alike.
I know that San Bernardinans are pleased to see a safer, stronger I-215 as well as a reunited San Bernardino, and we at FHWA are proud to have been able to support this achievement.

Farmar planning to join Vujacic and play overseas?
You can't live in the past, but what you did to win before certainly helps people remember your name.
Although not everyone in the NBA can get an offer to play overseas, two former Lakers guards who helped the team to championships are getting their calls: Jordan Farmar and Sasha Vujacic.
Vujacic's $15 million contract, offered by the Lakers in 2008 but traded to New Jersey this year, expired at season's end -- meaning Vujacic had some freedom now during the NBA lockout. He decided last month to commit to play overseas for Anadolu Efes Istanbul.
Vujacic's former backcourt mate in New Jersey and with the Lakers before, Farmar is negotiating to play for Maccabi Haifa of Israel's professional basketball league. Farmar, who is Jewish, has two years left on a three-year, $12 million deal signed with the Nets. He would be able to return to the NBA when labor peace is re-established.
Farmar, who served the Lakers as a union rep and works in that role for the Nets, stood alongside mentor Derek Fisher in New York in a business suit when the lockout was first announced in late June. Obviously, Farmar is well aware of the divide between the players and the owners.
Farmar held his fourth annual Hoop Farm basketball camp late last month at UCLA's John Wooden Center.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Forty-seven Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are pushing Speaker John Boehner to eliminate the wind production tax credit, a tax break that has split Republicans and drawn criticism from presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.
Democratic President Barack Obama has urged Congress to extend the credit, which dates to 1992 and has support from Republicans in states that are home to wind farms and manufacturing plants, such as Iowa and South Dakota.
The credit has other powerful proponents in big companies that buy wind energy. Heavyweights including Microsoft Corp, Sprint and Hewlett-Packard have urged renewal. The industry calls it vital to ensuring jobs, including wind turbine tower manufacturing in a broad swath of U.S. states.
Republican opposition to renewable energy tax breaks has been galvanized by anger over a failed solar project backed by the Obama administration. Republicans referred to that project, a start-up company called Solyndra, several times in the letter.
"The Obama administration has poured billions into subsidizing its favored green energy sources," reads the letter dated September 21 from House Republicans to Boehner, also a Republican. "Twenty years of subsidizing wind is more than enough."
Signers of the letter include Republicans on the Energy and Commerce Committee, but does not include members of the powerful tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, which is led by Representative Dave Camp.
A spokesman for Boehner said the issue will be addressed after the election.
Mitt Romney, Obama's Republican rival for the presidency in elections on November 6, irked some members of his party when he backed ending the subsidy earlier this year.
Prominent Senate Republicans including Charles Grassley of Iowa are big wind credit supporters and extension is included in Senate legislation still pending.
The House and Senate are expected to make a decision on the wind credit, along with a slew of breaks known as "tax extenders" and the larger issue of individual tax rates, after the elections and before the extenders expire at year's end.
The wind industry says 37,000 jobs would be lost if the tax credit expires and some big companies have already attributed layoffs to the uncertainty, including Siemens. The credit costs about $11 billion a year. (Reporting by Kim Dixon; Editing by Howard Goller and Todd Eastham)

Read an interview with Tmoe about the show here.
Watch a video about the making of the book here.
Growing up in southern California, artist, photographer and filmmaker Thomas Campbell was raised on the DIY aesthetic of the early 1980s skateboarding culture. Photography tips came from like-minded fellow photographers employed in the skateboarding press rather than from school, and art history was a matter of osmosis, not academia. In the mid-1990s, Campbell moved to New York and immersed himself in the scene around Alleged Gallery, where he quickly befriended and exhibited among the generation of artists who would star in the landmark 2004 exhibition Beautiful Losers. Campbell began documenting surfing culture in the late 1990s through both photography and film. His first feature-length film, The Seedling, came out in 1999, followed by Sprout in 2004 and The Present in 2009. Campbell's surfing photography has long been admired among by fellow surfers for its lack of gloss finish; unlike most, he eschews the familiar fish-eye shots or tightly cropped land angles. The first of ten projected volumes in Um Yeah Press' surf photobook series, Slide Your Brains Out compiles work from the past 15 years. Often lo-fi and gritty, other times lush and saturated, Campbell's compositions--which include portraits and action shots of some of the best surfers in the world--are always surprising and full of emotion, from melancholy to exultation.

Celine Dion's representative has given explanation on why the singer withdrew from the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Canada, saying she's afraid that she will be too pregnant for it.
Celine Dion skipped the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in her native Canada - because she thought she'd be too pregnant to perform. Dion's absence raised questions because many fans expected her to be part of the spectacular in Vancouver on Friday, February 12.
Instead, Sarah McLachlan, Nelly Furtado, Bryan Adams and k.d. lang took top billing. Dion's representative has since cleared up the confusion, explaining that the singer was forced to pull out of a planned performance when she fell pregnant in 2009.
The "My Heart Will Go On" singer suffered a miscarriage just weeks after confirming the baby news. But Dion is determined to keep trying for another kid and flew into New York for fertility treatments last week, according to U.S. news show Access Hollywood. Dion is already mum to nine-year-old son Rene-Charles with her manager husband Rene Angelil.

What: Presentation of "Population Status and Trends of Big Game along the Colorado/Wyoming State Line"
When: 7 to 8:30 p.m. Friday
Where: The Center of Craig, 601 Yampa Ave.
Mule deer and pronghorn antelope herds on both sides of the Colorado-Wyoming border are declining and may not be able to fully recover unless federal and state agencies act to protect core habitats, according to a new National Wildlife Federation analysis and a release from the Colorado Environmental Coalition.
Veteran wildlife biologists John Ellenberger and Gene Byrne prepared the report titled, "Population Status and Trends of Big Game along the Colorado/Wyoming State Line."
Byrne and Ellenberger analyzed wildlife agency statistics collected over the past 30 years for game management units in both states in an area roughly bounded by Interstate 80 on the north, the Green River to the west, U.S. Highway 40 on the south, and Laramie, Wyo., and Walden on the east.
A series of public informational meetings will take place to present the report. The meeting in Craig is scheduled for 7 to 8:30 p.m. Friday at The Center of Craig, 601 Yampa Ave.
"We are concerned that at some point the resiliency of these herds to recover will be lost, creating a situation where we can only expect further declines," Ellenberger said.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management manages habitats that stretch across state lines and over the interior Rocky Mountain West and most of the West's vast federal lands.
"We are seeing a slow, but steady decline in populations of both species and a corresponding decline in hunting opportunities in both states," said Steve Torbit, a veteran wildlife biologist and NWF's regional executive director. "Ultimately, it will be up to all who value wildlife herds to urge federal and state agencies to make decisions that will protect and restore our wildlife resource.
"The future of our hunting heritage and the billions of dollars wildlife brings to the region's economy are at stake."
For more information about the meeting or report, call Bill Dvorak at (719) 221-3212, or Luke Schafer or Sasha Nelson at 824-5241.

Costa Rica Wilderness Explorer
Discover a Wilder Side of Costa Rica on a Guided Adventure into Remote Natural Realms
From a secluded jungle lodge tucked into the lush rain forest of Costa Rica's south Pacific coast to the misty Talamanca Mountains and sparkling waters of Ballena Marine National Park, this rare ecotourism adventure reveals less-discovered regions of this globally acclaimed nature travel hotspot. We'll hike,
and float amid incredible biodiversity, keeping watch for myriad wildlife in forests, rivers and ocean. We'll also learn about the land and its people, tour a tropical fruit orchard, discover how local conservation efforts are protecting untouched landscapes, and search for the elusive resplendent quetzal, often acclaimed as the world's most beautiful bird. Costa Rica is full of wonders and full of surprises—come discover them as we explore an array of stunning habitats well off the standard tourist track!
Trip Highlights
Guided by top naturalist Expedition Leaders, discover Costa Rica's less-visited south Pacific coast, an unspoiled region rarely seen by the typical tourist
Float the Sierpe River in search of monkeys,
and iguanas, and look for resplendent quetzals in the pristine cloud forest of the Talamanca Mountains
Stay at small, deluxe ecolodges in Costa Rica's wildest settings, where intimacy,
and local ambience prevail, rather than crowds
Most Tourists Never See the Real Costa Rican Wilderness. With Us, You Will.
For three decades we've been guiding guests through the natural wonders of Costa Rica. Over that time, we've built up an extensive knowledge of the country, which has enabled us to uncover a whole slate of less-traveled wilderness experiences that Costa Rica has to offer. Read more about what makes this Costa Rica adventure so distinctive:
Visit Costa Rica's Less-Traveled South Pacific Coast
Our unusual itinerary focuses on more remote destinations away from the standard tourist track, including Tiskita, a fly-in jungle lodge that's the best-kept secret in Costa Rica. Here, we're surrounded by pristine tropical rain forest within an 800-acre private biological reserve. Casual tourists—even those who have been to Costa Rica many times with other tour operators—rarely see this unspoiled region.
Very Small Groups Offer a Genuine Encounter with Wild Nature
Unlike most tour operators,
we limit our group size to just 10 guests.
Whether you're in the cloud forest, the rain forest or on the coastal lowlands, you'll have a more authentic experience of nature without the chatter and rustling that big tour groups in the outdoors can't help but cause. We are able to focus on the sights and sounds of many animals and birds—such as the deep, melodious calls of the resplendent quetzal or the high-pitched chirps of white-faced capuchin monkeys—that aren't afraid to stick around as our small group approaches.
Explore Costa Rica's Most Pristine Cloud Forest Reserves
While many travelers focus on the duly famous Monteverde region, we take you into the more remote and untouched cloud forests of Savegre Nature Reserve and Los Quetzales National Park—far from tourist crowds, where birding and wildlife viewing in relative solitude offer a rare experience for the Costa Rica nature traveler.
Cruise the Sierpe River on a Private Boat
While many tour groups share space aboard sightseeing boats with other companies' guests, we explore the vast mangrove ecosystem of the Sierpe River in a private vessel. Here on the northern end of the Osa Peninsula, in the company of our own few fellow travelers, we keep watch for crocodiles and green iguanas, plus a multitude of birdlife including kingfishers, ospreys, roseate spoonbills, and a variety of egrets and herons. On our uncrowded boat, there's no jostling for views or photos—it's just us and the wildlife.
Stay at Remote Ecolodges & See More Wildlife
Our accommodations, though renowned, aren't on the itineraries of most Costa Rica travelers. Tiskita Jungle Lodge is about as remote as one can get, located at the end of the road on the secluded southwest Pacific coast. And in the Talamanca Range, a UNESCO World Heritage site, we stay surrounded by nature at Savegre Mountain Lodge. In addition to opportunities here to see the threatened resplendent quetzal—a bird that many consider the world's most beautiful—the Talamanca Range has one of the highest populations of endemic birds in the Americas.
Our First-Class Vehicles Offer a Window Seat for Every Guest
Our comfortable mini-buses are ultra-spacious, with high ceilings, large windows, a wide aisle and ample space between seats. And since we never fill our vehicles to capacity, you're assured of having a window seat plus plenty of room to spread out. Our vehicles also offer the smoothest ride you'll find over Costa Rica's sometimes-rugged roads in natural areas.
Your NHA Expedition Leader is with You Throughout Your Entire Trip
In Costa Rica, where spotting wildlife in the rainforest requires finely honed skills, having the finest naturalist guides on the planet is of utmost importance. Rather than using a string of less-qualified, local camp guides or a single driver-guide as a trip escort, like many companies do, NHA assigns a highly trained Expedition Leader to personally escort your group from start to finish. Each leader averages 20 years' of experience and receives additional training from WWF's world-class scientists. We also travel with an experienced driver/assistant guide, enabling us to divide our already small group into even smaller groups for more intimate nature encounters.

The rise in methamphetamine use has provoked a barrage of misinformation and reckless policies, such as mandatory minimum sentences, increased penalties and major restrictions against certain medicines. Methamphetamine: Fact vs. Fiction and Lessons from the Crack Hysteria revb eals the extreme stigmatization of users and dangerous policy responses that are reminiscent of the crack hysteria in the 1980s and 1990s, which led to grossly misguided laws that accelerated mass incarceration in the United States.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) represents a remarkable opportunity for criminal justice and drug policy reform advocates to advance efforts to enact policy changes that promote safe and healthy communities, without excessively relying on criminal justice solutions that have become so prevalent under the war on drugs, and which fall so disproportionately on low-income communities and communities of color.
U.S. drug policies in Mexico and Central America, focused on militarized counter-narcotics efforts known as the war on drugs, have had severely negative effects on the region. This report analyzes the effects in four areas – militarization, drug policy, violence against women, and forced migration – and examines the impact on three countries: Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.
This groundbreaking report by the New York City Comptroller's office estimates the value of the current illicit marijuana market in the city, and outlines a rationale and potential benefits of regulating and taxing the sale of marijuana for personal use for adults.
It's time to end the war on marijuana.
The aggressive enforcement of marijuana possession laws needlessly ensnares hundreds of thousands of people into the criminal justice system and wastes billions of taxpayers' dollars. What's more, it is carried out with staggering racial bias. Despite being a priority for police departments nationwide, the war on marijuana has failed to reduce marijuana use and availability and diverted resources that could be better invested in our communities.
The second part of the OAS study is a scenarios report, which presents four possibilities for how drug policy could evolve in the Americas – and what results could be expected with each approach by 2025. Most of the scenarios break from the current U.S.-led drug war approach. The report is the first of its kind, providing a thoughtful and detailed visualization of alternatives to the existing drug prohibition regime.
The first of two interconnected reports, this report by the Organization of American States (OAS) comprehensively analyzes drug trends, practices, and policies in the Americas. The report's basic premise is that there is not just one single "drug problem" in the hemisphere, but rather "many problems". As such, the report does not present concrete recommendations, but does offer some welcome suggestions, including that "decriminalization of drug use needs to be considered as a core element in any public health strategy."
This comprehensive report contains 75 broad and incremental recommendations for federal legislative reforms related to civil rights, deficit reduction, law enforcement, foreign policy, sentencing and reentry, effective drug treatment, public health, and drug prevention education.
The New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) and the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) jointly researched and drafted a Blueprint for a Public Health and Safety Approach to Drug Policy. We examined New York's current drug policies and reimagined how those policies could realize better health and public safety outcomes.
This report studies criminal laws in seven Latin American countries (Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Bolivia, and Argentina) and finds that criminal penalties for nonviolent drug law violations in these countries have grown dramatically – often exceeding prison sentences for violent crimes like rape or murder. The study was conducted by Dejusticia, with support from the Washington Office on Latin America and the Open Society Foundations.

"You're Giving Us Goosebumps" - How The Audience Makes The Band Better
Mike Dronkers / Thursday, March 13, 2014 @ 8:48 a.m. / Music
You hopefully know this BOY song "Little Numbers." So when the indie Swiss/German band came to to New York, they were visibly moved to find that audiences already knew the words.
Beyond being organically beautiful in every imaginable way, the moment underlines how the we, as audiences make bands better. Which makes the show better. And that's why you'll stay out until 2:30am seeing bands.

Part of my obsession is the challenge for efficiency. I love the technological progress that got us this light, and it keeps me eager for more (I mean less).
Another reason is that the lighter my base pack gets, the better I walk, AND the more fun stuff I can carry. I like to bring toys and better food. I don't feel so bad when I bring the 4 pound pack raft, and Trout cooked with bacon is wonderful.
The last thing is that I am competitive. I usually beat my friends pack weight by pounds and still manage to bring more fun stuff than they do. Frankly, I get a kick out of how amazed they are.

By NATASHA T. METZLER
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Mattel Inc. on Tuesday recalled more than 172,000 Fisher-Price kitchen toys in the United States and Europe because several children choked and gagged on small, detachable parts.
The company has received 48 reports of small parts separating from these toys, which feature a sink, a refrigerator and a range. One child choked on a detached piece and needed the Heimlich maneuver performed to remove the part. One child started to choke and two children had pieces in their mouths and gagged.
"Small parts choking hazards with toys is one of the most serious dangers to children in the United States," Scott Wolfson, Consumer Product Safety Commission spokesman, said. "This should send a message to parents to take this toy away from the child immediately."
The recall involves 155,000 toys sold in the United States, according to the CPSC. It also includes 7,000 items distributed in Britain, 4,900 in Italy, 4,900 in Germany and 394 in Austria. The Mexican-made toys were sold between May and October.
"We take toy safety very seriously, so we do everything we can to ensure the safety of our toys," Fisher-Price spokeswoman Juliette Reashor said.
Mattel, the nation's largest toy maker, issued two major recalls in August for lead-tainted toys and toys with small, powerful magnets that can cause intestinal perforations if swallowed. It issued another, smaller recall of lead-contaminated toys last month. All of the previously recalled toys were manufactured in China.
Reashor said the safety issue in Tuesday's recall was not identified as part of the stepped-up oversight and testing of production processes that began after the August recalls.
For a free repair kit, toy owners should contact Fisher-Price at 888-812-7187. For more information, visit http://www.service.mattel.com or http://www.cpsc.gov.

The Carpetbaggers
As Hillary Clinton campaigns for a New York Senate seat, she'd do well to study the career of another effective outsider
October 1999 | Volume 50, Issue 6
Once in, Kennedy moved with what in our present politics would be considered stunning alacrity. He declared for the Senate from New York on August 26, resigned his position as a Massachusetts delegate to the Democratic Convention the same day, and wrapped up the nomination at the New York state convention on September 1. Polls already showed him leading Keating by seventeen points.
But Kenneth Keating was no push-over. Sixty-four years old, a dignified, white-haired veteran of both world wars and a graduate of Harvard Law School, he had served six terms in the House before being persuaded by Nelson Rockefeller to run for the Senate in 1958. Bucking a national Democratic landslide, Keating had scored a 130,000-vote victory over Manhattan's legendary district attorney Frank Hogan and gone on to establish a solid record in the Senate as a hard worker, a domestic liberal, and a staunch Cold Warrior.
"I welcome Robert Kennedy to New York," he said when Kennedy announced. "Indeed, as his Senator, I would be happy to furnish him a guidebook, road map, and any other useful literature about the Empire State which any sojourner would find helpful."
He went on to attack Kennedy's carpetbagger status at every opportunity, repeatedly pointing out that the candidate would not even be able to vote for himself. Meanwhile, Kennedy's early moves were tentative and wrong-footed. His courting of the entrenched Democratic leadership had infuriated party reformers still trying to put the last nail in Carmine De Sapio's Tammany Hall organization. Gore Vidai and Lisa Howard organized a Democrats for Keating Committee, and a host of liberals, including I. F. Stone, James Baldwin, Richard Hofstadter, Paul Newman, Barbara Tuchman, and Nat Hentoff, endorsed the Republican incumbent. Most of the state's newspapers did likewise. The New York Times mocked Bobby as a "young Lochinvar" and—twisting the knife by using the r-word—deplored "the ruthless swiftness with which he has put together an irresistible personal political machine in this state."
By early October Kennedy's own pollster had Keating with a small lead, and Bobby was futilely demanding a debate. But in fact Kenneth Keating was a man fighting on quicksand. His campaign was being slowly but inexorably drawn down by Barry Goldwater's hijacking of the Republican party. In order to retain his liberal and moderate support, Keating refused to endorse Goldwater—only to have a sixty-one-year-old Clare Boothe Luce—usually a resident of Connecticut—threaten to run for the Senate on the Conservative party line if Keating did not back the Republican nominee.
Two carpetbaggers, and a race pitting Robert Kennedy against Clare Boothe Luce? Alas, such treasures are beyond us in this life. Luce eventually desisted, but the GOP's schism continued to undermine Keating's campaign, while the prospect of victory was enough to drive even Lyndon Johnson and Bobby Kennedy into each other's arms. Johnson campaigned with Bobby from Buffalo to Brooklyn in two days of frenzied, jubilant motorcades and rallies, squeezing a gamely smiling Kennedy to his chest and telling crowds, "This is ma boy. I want you to elect ma boy." On October 29 some half-million people gave Kennedy and the vice-presidential nominee Hubert Humphrey a tumultuous reception at Manhattan's traditional electioneve labor rally in the garment district. A day earlier Keating had appeared before a Wall Street crowd of five hundred, some fifty of whom turned out to be Goldwater diehards who booed the senator and held up placards reading WE WANT BARRY! and SOCIALIST!
Kennedy surged back into a commanding lead by mid-October, and Keating began to make repeated references to his "ruthless" campaign. Now it was the Republican who demanded a debate, and when Kennedy demurred, Keating resorted to an old tactic. He bought half an hour of time on WCBS-TV, for 7:30 P.M. on October 27, and announced that if Kennedy did not show up, Keating and New York's senior U.S. senator, Jacob Javits, would spend the half-hour "debating" an empty chair.
"Let the man from Massachusetts meet me face to face," Keating told newsmen. "I'll pin his ears back."
Men from Massachusetts are not in the habit of having their ears pinned back, however, and Keating was about to find out just how ruthless Robert Kennedy could be. Kennedy bought thirty minutes of airtime on WCBS himself that night, beginning at 8:00 P.M. Then, at approximately 7:25, he showed up at Keating 's studio with a phalanx of reporters and announced that he was ready to debate.

Alleged anti-Islam filmmaker didn't spark Muslim violence: lawyer
LOS ANGELES — A lawyer for the alleged filmmaker behind "Innocence of Muslims" denied Wednesday he was to blame for a wave of violence across the Middle East, as his client appeared in court for a second time.
Attorney Steven Seiden said US congressional hearings in Washington would shed more light on the cause of the violence, which killed a number of people including the US ambassador to Libya.
"My client was not the cause of the violence in the Middle East. Clearly it was pre-planned, that was just an excuse and a trigger point," said the lawyer for Mark Basseley Youssef, 55.
"As you know, there (are) congressional hearings going on now as to the source of the real violence in the Middle East," he said after the brief court hearing in Los Angeles.
When the violence erupted, "the press, the president, secretary of state were blaming my client for the violence in the Mideast, and then a week later we learned that it was all pre-planned attacks to coincide with 9/11."
"We'll see what they come up with, and we'll see how that impacts his case," he added in reference to Congress.
The film depicting the Prophet Mohammed as a thuggish deviant offended many Muslims, and sparked a wave of anti-US protests in a number of countries that cost several lives and saw mobs set US missions, schools and businesses ablaze.
On September 11, the anniversary of the Al-Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington, US ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in an attack on the US consulate in Benghazi.
Initially, US officials said that attack followed spontaneous protests against the anti-Islam film, which were occurring in other countries in the region.
But administration officials in Washington this week gave a detailed account of the attack, in which dozens of armed men invaded the consulate setting it on fire and hunting down staff.
Youssef — previously listed in court as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula — was arrested last month for eight breaches of his probation for a 2010 bank fraud conviction, and attended a preliminary probation-revocation hearing Wednesday before US District Judge Christina Snyder.
In February 2009, a federal indictment accused Nakoula and others of fraudulently obtaining the identities and Social Security numbers of customers at several Wells Fargo branches in California and withdrawing $860 from them.
At Wednesday's hearing, held amid tight security in an almost empty court — media were allowed to watch events by video conference from a separate building — the judge read the eight probation violation charges against him.
Youssef, a balding Middle Eastern-looking man in a white top and glasses perched on his head, said the single word "Deny" to each of the accusations. He was mostly shielded from camera view by his lawyer, Seiden.
He was ordered kept in custody, and a new hearing was set for November 9.
"We've denied all the accusations today, a hearing date has been set, and we'll let the matter work itself out in court," said the lawyer afterwards.

XThe Indians signed OF Austin Kearns to a free agent Major League free agent contract for the 2011 season Monday.
Kearns, 30, returns to the Indians where he spent the first four months of the 2010 season before being traded to the New York Yankees on July 30th in exchange for RHP Zach McAllister.
Kearns batted .272 with 42 runs scored, 18 doubles, eight home runs and 42 RBI in 84 games with the Tribe while making 63 starts in left field, 12 in right field and four in centerfield after making the club out of spring training as a non-roster invitee.
Although He began the season starting mainly against left-handed pitching, he earned full-time left field duties later in April.
Following the trade, Kearns appeared in 36 games with the Yankees batting .235 with 13 runs scored, three doubles, two home runs and seven RBI while on both their ALDS and ALCS playoff roster.
In all, Kearns batted a combined .263 (106-for-403) with 21 doubles, 10 home runs and 49 RBI in 120 games.

A study on global food wastage by Institution of Mechanical Engineers, UK revealed that India could add Rs. 6.2 lakh crores to its economy if the losses are curbed by improving facilities. It is really sad to know that Indian government has millions to spend on aircrafts and sports but overlooks such a crucial matter at the country's very heart itself.
Surprisingly the government alone cannot be held responsible for the cause. A lot of food is wasted at our homes too, because sometimes we tend to buy things more than it is needed. We, without realising the fact that the loud attractive advertisements are meant to attract us, end up buying those extra free products. So the next time you visit any grocery shop, be careful enough to assess the advertisement that reads 'buy two and get one free!'

We got a confirmation of some details regarding the launch of a new mobile Pentium 4 family. According to our sources, the new CPU family targeted at the notebook market will be named Pentium 4-M. These CPUs will be built on a 0.13-micron Northwood die equipped with 512KB L2 cache. Like the existing Pentium 4 line, members of Pentium 4-M will use 400MHz Quad Pumped Bus.
The first Pentium 4-M CPUs are reported to be officially announced on March 4. That day Intel will introduce two models - 1.6GHz and 1.7GHz. The price per item in over-1000-piece quantities will be $418 (1.6GHz) and $508 (1.7GHz).
Parallel to the first Pentium 4-M CPUs Intel will launch a corresponding chipset, i845MP. This will be a mobile analogue to i845 with PC2100 DDR SDRAM support and with no integrated graphics core. The new i845MP will be prices at $41 per item in over-1000-piece quantities.
The main advantage of Pentium 4-M CPUs will be their comparatively low average power consumption, which won't exceed 2W. This will be ensured by a bunch of technologies implemented in these processors: Enhanced Speedstep, Deep Sleep and Deeper Sleep. As a result, the real clock frequency of Pentium 4-M CPUs will vary all the time depending on the calculating load.
Moreover, this web-site has offered us an opportunity to see what the official logo of Pentium 4-M CPUs will look like.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- U.S. stocks were headed for a lower open Tuesday as Asian and European markets lost ground and investors digest new data on the housing market.
The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU), S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq (COMP) futures fell about 0.6%. Stock futures indicate the possible direction of the markets when they open at 9:30 a.m. ET.
Investors will be watching for clues about the direction of the U.S. economy in comments from senior policymakers, while taking a look at new housing data.
While recent data on the job market and retail sales suggest that the economy may be healing, the housing market remains a trouble spot. But strong numbers Tuesday could help stocks sustain the gains made so far this year.
In the afternoon, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will deliver a lecture at the George Washington University School of Business. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, meanwhile, will testify before the House Financial Services Committee.
Stocks closed with modest gains Monday after a morning of choppy trading.
Economy: Future home construction showed signs of strength in February, with permits climbing 5.1% to annual rate of 717,000, topping analyst predictions of 695,000.
Housing starts dipped 1.1% to 698,000, below estimates.
World markets: European stocks were lower in morning trading. Britain's FTSE 100 (UKX) shed 1.1%, the DAX (DAX) in Germany and France's CAC 40 (CAC40) both lost 1.4%.
Asian markets ended lower. The Shanghai Composite (SHCOMP) dropped 1.4% and the Hang Seng (HSI) in Hong Kong lost 1.1%. Japan's markets were closed for the vernal equinox holiday.
Losses in Asia were spurred on by a report from the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics that showed new home prices declined in 45 out of 70 major cities, while prices were static in 21 others, underscoring concerns about slower growth.
Separately, Chinese government planners hiked prices on gasoline and diesel fuel as they respond to the rising cost of crude oil.
Companies: With housing in focus, shares of homebuilder KB Home advanced (KBH) almost 2% and shares of PulteGroup (PHM, Fortune 500) were up 3.7% before the opening bell.
Jefferies Group (JEF) posted quarterly earnings of 33 cents per share on strong gains in its investment banking business, topping analyst estimates. The firm also beat on revenue.
Shares of Tiffany & Co (TIF) rose 1%, after the luxury jeweler reported sales of $1.2 billion -- in line with forecasts -- and issued an upbeat outlook.
Shares of Adobe Systems (ADBE) fell 4% in premarket trading, after the software maker issued earnings and guidance in line with expectations late Monday.
Oracle (ORCL, Fortune 500) is slated to report earnings after the bell Tuesday. The tech firm is expected to earn 56 cents a share on $9 billion of revenue.
Michael Kors (KORS)' stock got a boost after the fashion company hiked its outlook.
Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) shares up slightly in premarket trading, after the bank denied speculation that it's planning to raise money by issuing stock in a secondary offering.
Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) shares moved between small losses and gains in premarket trading. The company announced late Monday that it had sold more than 3 million new iPads, since the new version's March 16 launch.
Earlier in the day, Apple announced plans for a share buyback and a quarterly dividend.
Currencies and commodities: The dollar strengthened against the euro, the British pound and the Japanese yen.
Oil for April delivery slipped $1.01 to $107.08 a barrel.
Oil for May delivery will become the active contract at the market close. The contract was trading at $107.50 early Tuesday.
Gold futures for April delivery fell $21.60 to $1,645.90 an ounce.
Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury rose, pushing the yield down to 2.35% from 2.38% late Monday.

Three new cosmetic items are now available on the Blizzard Store! Visit your friendly neighborhood NPC Transmogrifier to replace the look of your existing helm with one of these imposing pieces of headgear.
Recovered from the frozen battlefields of Northrend, the Crown of Eternal Winter enshrouds your character in an icy visage of death. Now you can adopt the look of an elite member of the Scourge, but without the inconvenience of undying bondage in the service of the Lich King.
Salvaged from the remains of the fallen minions of Ragnaros the Firelord, this helm sets you apart as a glowing beacon on an otherwise crowded battlefield. Where's the rally point? How about by that guy with the RAW ELEMENTAL FIRE emanating from his forehead?
Forged from Fel Iron and shrouded in flames, the Hood of Hungering Darkness is a remnant of a rare dark magic only practiced by the warlocks of the Shadow Council. The lingering curse that keeps this headpiece burning is thought to be harmless, but feign demonic possession once you adorn it and see who dares to believe otherwise. Each of these cosmetic items takes up your head slot, has no stats, and works across all races and classes. Visit the NPC Transmogrifier to replace the look of your existing cloth, leather, mail, or plate headgear.
So first people were complaining that everybody's going to be running around with these and that they look awful anyway, now the complaint is the price?
I'm going to vote with my wallet and buy a couple steam sale games instead.
Milking the cow, the only MMO that rips you off with a sub + game store
Prepare yourselves...A WoWhead contest is coming!(I hope)
these prices a very absurd indeed, considering you only get 1 of the 3.and its just 1 item instead of a set.
I can see $15.00 for the whole set, not $45.00.
12 euro for this is waaaaaay overpriced .....
I had no desire to get any of these since the models don't work with the toons I tend to play but after seeing that price I can officially say I will NEVER be buying any of these at all.
Humm, actually, not a bad idea. This time I'm gonna give the thumbs up to Blizz, except for the price though. I'm gonna have to pass on the Crown and the Hood though... simply because I like to see my character's hairstyles.Maybe I'll go for the horns. I hope Blizz keeps up the good ideas. Maybe some purchasable Vanity Items? More mounts!The sky is the limit. I wish Blizz hired me, I have some ideas that I'm sure would work... after all, they have implemented a bunch of stuff I've been talking about on forums for a long time... :PStill waiting on confirmation on the Stormcrow Mount being a Blizz Store Mount... after all, I asked a long time ago for a druid's flying form model mount... :P
I like the idea of access to cosmetic armor sets, emphasis "set". Charging $15 USD for just a helm is overpriced! I would rather see cosmetic Tier sets purchasable with some kind of in game currency like Justice Points or something.

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things on Television
Rome, Wisconsin - The small town drama series PICKET FENCES/CBS/1992-96 starred Tom Skerritt as Sheriff Jimmy Brock who maintained law and order in the quirky little town of Rome, Wisconsin.
Other personnel assisting Sheriff Brock included:
Besides the routine criminals, Rome had some rather strange characters, including the Potato Man, a homeless veteran who carried a bag of potatoes; a serial bather who breaks into homes and takes a bath while the owners are away; Laurie Bey, the Dancing Bandit (Marlee Matlin), a bank robber who stole from the rich and gave to the poor but not before doing her trademark dance at the scene of the crime. After serving her community service, Laurie became the town Mayor. The previous Mayor died by spontaneous combustion.
Deputies Maxine Stewart and Kenny Lacos
Other odd things that the police department had to handle was finding a women frozen in a freezer; the murder of the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz murdered via an injection of nicotine; and a school student who brought a severed hand to class.
Sheriff Brock family members consisted of:

I'm trying to use a hover effect on a one-button nav bar using the navigation matrix method, and I'm having trouble.
My <div> container for the button is absolutely positioned, and I simply want the button to be a link that changes states on :hover from the top section to the bottom of my background-image (image attached). I've done this for entire navigation menus using a <ul>, but never on a single, absolutely positioned <div>. This seems like it should be much simpler, but I can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone slap me into shape?
#button-container span a { width: 82px; left: 0; background: url(images/serious_btn.jpg) no-repeat; background-position: 0 0; }
#button-container span a:hover {
background-position: 0 -109px; }
My CSS is kind of a mess because I've tried a bunch of combinations — this is where I left off.
The size of my background image is 82px X 218px, and the :hover section starts at the 109px height.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
Well, <a> is an inline element. So, by default, the :hover effect (and therefore the background image change) is only going to apply to the exact area that the "Get Serious" text occupies. But you have the font-size set to 1%, which for me (in Firefox) makes it so small that I can't see it. I'm guessing that you don't want the text visible at all, and that's why you did it that way, but this has the side effect of shrinking the :hover area with it.
Here's how to fix it. First, you can get rid of the container and span, and apply the positioning stuff directly to the link (you only have one link, so there's no point in having a container). Second, give the link a width and a height, and set its display to "block". Then you can remove the "Get Serious" text entirely, and just leave an empty link. The link will occupy the dimensions you specify (82 x 109), and the :hover will then apply to that whole area.
Here's how I did it:
That works for me. Give it a try!

EJ Drops The Fenway Question On Eck
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
There's throwing people under the bus, and then there's this. Following last night's Rays win, Ernie Johnson decided to pose a question to the rest of the crew about where Fenway got it's name. He of course went to the only former Red Sock on the set, Dennis Eckersley, and just watch the look on his face. Via Sox & Dawgs....
Now that is funny. EJ's Neato Stat of the Night also brought us the Kenny Smith car jumping moment, so it's pretty much a must watch at this point.
