Bias Comes Through in Labeling, Story Angles
Page One
Abortion Distortion
The January 9 decision by the Supreme
Court to rule on a Missouri abortion law and the January 23 March for
Life marking the 16th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade provided ample
opportunity for national news outlets to weigh in on the divisive issue.
A survey of the four networks, The New York Times, The Washington
Post, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal at the time
of the two developments confirmed the results of last month's MediaWatch
Reporters used the term
"anti-abortion" 42 times, but "pro-life" just six
times. Identifying the other side, they used "pro-choice" 29
times but never once tagged abortion proponents
"pro-abortion." USA Today reporter Judy Keen's
labeling mirrored the media's general pattern. She opened her January 24
article this way: "As anti-abortion activists marched on Washington
Monday, pro-choice advocates prepared for grass-roots battle."
On PrimeNews the night before,
CNN's Candy Crowley referred to "anti-abortion activists" who
hope the Supreme Court's Missouri decision "will be the beginning
of the end to abortion," but cautioned: "pro-choice advocates
fear it will mean a return to back alley abortions." CNN proved to
be the most unfair, issuing nine "pro-choice" tags and the
same number of "anti-abortion" ones. ABC's Richard Threlkeld
stood out as impartial: on two occasions he dubbed each side their label
of choice.
Despite the fact pro-life spokesmen were
quoted more often (52%) than pro-choice ones (48%) overall, several
reports were lop-sided in favor of abortion proponents. On Jan. 22,
CNN's Cynthia Tournquist gave the least balanced story, giving pro-choicers
two times more airtime as well as calling supporters of abortion
"pro-choice" three times and opponents
"anti-abortion" twice.
But even if they refrained from the
"anti-abortion" label and offered abortion opponents equal
time to defend their cause, some reporters did all they could to
discredit the pro-life cause. On Jan. 9, CBS' Richard Roth referred to
pro-life forces as "a strong and vocal minority [which] has
insisted its voice be heard."
After giving time to a former Roe vs.
Wade attorney to express her discontent, Roth concluded: "Her point
is it wasn't just abortion decided 16 years ago, it was the launching of
what amounted to an abortion revolution."
Revolving Door
No Longer Speaking for the
Speaker. Charmayne Marsh,
Press Secretary to House Speaker Jim Wright for the past eight years,
resigned at the end of last year. Marsh began her journalism career in
1966 as a UPI Washington reporter moving on to Washington bureau
positions with Reuters and the Dallas Morning News. Her
departure, however, does not leave Wright without experienced media
hands. Chief Press Officer George Mair once worked for CBS News and
Wilson Morris, Information Director for the Wright controlled House
Democratic Steering Committee, reported for The Washington Post
from 1972 to 1978.
From Carter to Nightline.
A few months ago ABC News promoted Deborah Leff, a Nightline
producer in Washington, to Senior Producer in London for the show. Leff
worked as a trial attorney for the Department of Justice from 1977 to
1979 before Carter named her Director of Public Affairs for the Federal
Trade Commission where she served until 1981.
Bingaman's Man. Veteran
broadcast news producer Charles Woolsey, most recently Executive
Producer of News at KOB-TV, the NBC affiliate in Albuquerque, has just
become Director of Communications for Senator Jeff Bingaman, a liberal
Democrat representing New Mexico. Beginning in 1968, Woolsey held a
variety of Washington-based field producer positions with NBC and ABC
News. He ended his network career in 1983 as Special Projects Producer
for Good Morning America and World News Tonight. That
year he became Assistant News Director at WTTG-TV in Washington, jumping
to competing WRC-TV two years later where he remained until heading West
in 1986.
Time's Cover Writer.
"The Silver Fox," Barbara Bush, graced the January 23 Time
cover. Senior Writer Margaret Carlson penned the inside profile piece on
the new First Lady. In his "From the Publisher" column Robert
Miller noted that in 1974, "under the inspiration of consumer
advocate Ralph Nader," Carlson wrote a book on car repair. But
Miller didn't tell readers Carlson was a Special Assistant to the
Chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission during the Carter
Back on the Hill. In
1966 Wes Pippert became a Congressional fellow in the office of U.S.
Representative Morris Udall, a liberal Democrat. Now, 23 years later and
after 30 years of reporting everywhere from Bismarck, North Dakota to
Jerusalem for UPI, he's back on Capitol Hill. This time, however, he's
working for Republican Paul Henry. Pippert is putting in a six month
stint handling public affairs and policy development for the Michigan
Bush Brigade. A couple
of Bush Administration members already in place bring media experience
to their new roles. White House Personnel Director Chase Untermeyer was
a Houston Chronicle political reporter from 1972 to 1974....The
Office of the First Lady has appointed Jean Becker, a USA Today
reporter since 1985, as one of two Deputy Press Secretaries.
Networks Distort
Abortion Report
The Real Scoop on Koop
On January 9 Surgeon General C. Everett
Koop filed a report with the President on the health effects of
abortion. Here's what the network anchors told viewers that night: ABC's
Peter Jennings said "a new report by the Surgeon General concludes
that abortion causes little if any physical or emotional harm to
women." Dan Rather of CBS announced that "Surgeon General C.
Everett Koop...reportedly concluded that a woman who has an abortion
suffers little if any physical or emotional harm from the
experience." NBC's Tom Brokaw declared that "Koop reports he
has not found conclusive evidence that abortions have harmful
psychological effects on the women who have them," but Koop
"found that there is a whole segment of the population that says,
quote, 'the best thing that happened to me was my abortion.'"
In a letter to Reagan, the Surgeon
General explained that "scientific studies do not provide
conclusive data about the health effects of abortion on women." In
claiming Koop "concluded" anything, Jennings and Rather
obviously missed the mark. But Brokaw's remarks distorted Koop's
statement that "anecdotal reports abound on both sides," on
whether abortion is a traumatic experience. Only CNN's Mary Alice
Williams accurately reported, "what is known about the
psychological effects of abortion cannot support either side of the
national debate about it." Perhaps anticipating network coverage,
in his letter to Reagan Koop predicted that "many who might read
this letter would not understand it because I have not arrived at
conclusions they can accept."
Janet Cooke Award
Bashing: ABC News
Just days before the inauguration of
George Bush, residents of the primarily black section of Miami named
Overtown began rioting over the shooting death of a black motorcyclist
by white police officers. Some in the media took the Overtown issue to
an extreme, charging the riots were a consequence of the disregard for
the poor and underclass. ABC's Richard Threlkeld went one step further.
He found the real villain to be Ronald Reagan and his administration's
policies, and for that receives the February Janet Cooke Award.
On January 20 Threlkeld was in Miami to
learn, in Peter Jennings words, "how the new President's remarks
might play in a place like Overtown." Jennings noted that "in
his speech today, President Bush tried to reach beyond the crowd of well
wishers to another America where the problems of poverty and crime and
homelessness are still unresolved." True enough, Overtown qualifies
as such a place; but Threlkeld's examination of the black area quickly
became a condemnation of Reagan's overall civil rights and economic
policies. Threlkeld used sweeping rhetorical judgments without any
attempt at balance.
Threlkeld's first words set the tone for
his entire report: "There wasn't much of an inaugural audience
today in Overtown, which like much of black America has not felt part of
the life of this nation for a long time." Why is that so? Threlkeld
alleged: "After eight years of what many see as the Reagan
Administration's benign neglect of the poor and studied indifference to
civil rights, a lot of those who lived through this week in Overtown
seemed to think the best thing about George Bush is that he is not
Ronald Reagan."
After putting on several citizens to
support the assertion, Threlkeld concluded: "There is an Overtown
in every big city in America -- pockets of misery made even meaner and
more desperate the past eight years." As for Bush's inaugural
address, he added: "In this place, the response to the promise of a
new President of an offered hand is 'show me.' Overtown's already shown
this week there's a price to be paid when the Overtowns of America are
too long overlooked."
If Threlkeld had been interested he could
have easily located many blacks who have benefitted from Reagan's
policies. As Wall Street Journal editorial writer Joseph
Perkins recently pointed out in a Policy Review article,
"most debates about the state of black Americans focus on negative
indicators" and "this emphasis offers a very skewed picture of
black progress."
Census Bureau statistics show that the
Reagan years have been a boom time for the vast majority of black
Americans. Median black family income has increased by more than nine
percent in constant dollars since 1981. (During the Carter Presidency,
black family income dropped by more than five percent). From 1985 to
1987, middle class black families saw their real incomes jump by
approximately ten percent per year. In this decade alone, the pool of
upwardly mobile blacks has grown by more than a third. It was trend even
evident to CNN's Jeff Levine who stated on January 15: "There are
signs of an emerging black bourgeoisie. For the first time, the majority
of blacks can call themselves middle class."
As for black unemployment, Labor
Department figures show that it has dropped by 25 percent during the
Reagan years. That translates into more than two million new jobs. While
the black poverty rate increased somewhat at the beginning of Reagan's
term, Census statistics find it has begun to fall considerably and is
now below the 1981 level, when Carter's policies were still in effect.
But Threlkeld failed to offer anyone
airtime to describe these trends. He spoke of a "studied
indifference to civil rights," but neglected to mention the strives
toward equality that blacks have made in the work place. Perkins noted
that black professional and managerial classes have burgeoned in the
1980s, as has black college enrollment.
The CNN story by Levine featured many
middle class blacks "climbing the corporate ladder" who have
"overcome the burden of racial discrimination." ABC's Mike Von
Fremd, reporting from Alabama, found: "Today, when you watch
Montgomery's children together in school, look at its streets, or eat in
its restaurants, you see a community that has achieved at least part of
Dr. King's dream."
When reached by MediaWatch,
Threlkeld defended his story: "We have a difference of opinion. The
research we've done over the years is to the contrary. Not just blacks,
but the poorest fifth have done worse under Reagan. Public opinion polls
show time and again that the vast majority are victims of benign
neglect." But Threlkeld would not provide any statistics to prove
his point, nor was he willing to discuss official Labor or Census
numbers: "If we want to get into a contest over statistics...you'll
have to drop me a letter and through our research department we'll do
He contended that his report was meant to
examine only Overtown and little else: "Of course there is a large
black middle class But indicators show that things are manifestly worse
in places like Overtown....Our point was being in Overtown."
Despite the substance of his story, Threlkeld tried to deny he cast
blame: "I don't necessarily blame Ronald Reagan or Reagan's
administration ....[The report] says a lot of [blacks in Overtown] blame
But why cover Overtown and not cover the
stable black middle class that has grown by leaps and bounds this
decade? Threlkeld agreed that the news media "ought to cover every
aspect," but saw no need to expand his effort: "This was a
piece we thought would be interesting to do because it dominated that
week." What about a separate piece focusing on a middle class black
neighborhood to get reaction from them on Bush's inauguration? He didn't
see any need: "But there weren't riots there." Apparently when
ABC News wants to learn how blacks fared under Reagan and what they
think of the new President, the only appropriate place to survey is a
poor, riot-stricken area. Need we say more?
The Evening News Gurus.
On January 23 Dan Rather told bewildered viewers: "A couple of late
reports on the Reagan economy today sent up warning flags for the
incoming Bush Administration. The government said that retail sales in
1988 rose at the sharpest rate in four years. And another report
indicated you, the consumer, may be paying more for what you buy this
What? A healthy increase in retail sales
is bad news? Yes, reported correspondent Richard Schlesinger who
explained that store sales news combined with a slight rise in the
producer price index last year means "some economists believe the
wholesale price figures released today could mean inflation this year
will run at more than seven percent."
How reliable is the CBS warning? Well, in
January, 1988 Evening News anchor Bob Schieffer declared:
"Everybody seems to think the economy is going to be a big
problem" in the upcoming year.
NBC's Lucky Strikes Again.
If you watched Lucky Severson's portrait of Texas life, you would never
believe that George Bush won the state's vote by an overwhelming margin.
NBC's Today show has been airing an occasional feature called
'Cross country,' a series that takes a lighthearted look at American
life. On January 10, NBC reporter Lucky Severson drove around Texas in a
rickety old pickup truck. His guide in this journey: "A Texan who
knows his way around, Jim Hightower."
During the presidential primary season,
Hightower had endorsed Jesse Jackson. Nonetheless, the Texas
Agricultural Commissioner asserted, "Bush's problem is that he's
just not much in touch with where the real America is." After
reciting a litany of Texas economic problems, Severson described a trip
to a saloon, but noted it was cut short when "we asked one of the
patrons about George Bush." The supposedly typical Texan sneered,
"He's from some wimp goddamn place up there called Mennepuck,
Maine." Severson echoed Higtower's claim that half of Texas is fed
up with hard times, concluding Bush "better pay attention"
when in Washington.
Third World Blame.
"UNICEF estimates that half a million children in 16 of the poorest
nations are dying every year, dying of starvation and disease,"
ABC's Richard Threlkeld announced as viewers saw scenes of Ethiopia.
Why? According to Threlkeld, "because their governments are
spending so much money paying off what they owe to the rich nations in
interest on development loans."
What about the disastrous effects of
Marxist and socialist economic policies adopted by the regimes ruling
these nations? That explanation never occurred to Threlkeld. Instead he
blamed the U.S. for their misery, concluding his December 20 story:
"UNICEF thinks that rich nations and their banks must lift at least
half of the burden of their debt off the poor nations in the next five
years. If not, says UNICEF, by the year 2000, eleven million children
will die every year, needlessly, because the Third World won't have
enough money left to keep them alive."
Ultra-Wright Conservatives.
Although House Speaker Jim Wright is the subject of a House ethics
committee investigation, Bob Schieffer thinks it's
"ultra-conservatives" who should have their standards
examined. On December 20 Evans and Novak reported that
Democrats claimed to have reached agreement with Republican Congressman
Pashayan to vote their way. Since the committee is divided evenly among
Republicans and Democrats, Pashayan's defection would seal a victory for
Wright for all the evidence was even heard.
Issuing the most extreme labeling
possible, Dan Rather introduced the January 26 Evening News
story by warning that "hard right lobbyists are trying to influence
the vote." Even though Peter Flaherty of the Conservative Campaign
Fund explained, "Pashayan's office refused to deny those
reports," of Democratic dealmaking, Schieffer never pursued these
rumors. Instead, he focused on the direct mail campaigns by, what
Schieffer called, "ultra-conservative" groups including the
National Right to Work Committee, whose efforts were portrayed as highly
unusual and "jury tampering." Where was Schieffer when People
for the American Way (PAW) campaigned for the ouster of Edwin Meese?
President 9 1/2. It was
an easy mistake to make during the busiest three days of his life. The
day before his inauguration, George Bush informed the American people
that his speech would be short and sweet. One reason: ninth President
William Henry Harrison gave a long-winded inaugural address and died of
pneumonia one month later. But Bush confused William Henry Harrison with
his grandson, 23rd President Benjamin Harrison.
But by Inauguration Day, nobody cared
much about this except for NBC's John Cochran, who viewed the
insignificant mistake as a deeply-rooted character flaw of the new
President: "But certain times with George Bush there seems to be an
irrelevancy or he gets something wrong. We pointed out yesterday he
referred to Benjamin Harrison dying of pneumonia after a chilly
inauguration day, and of course it was William Tyler Harrison who
William Tyler Harrison? Actually it was
William Henry Harrison. Nobody cares much about this insignificant
mistake either, except for MediaWatch which is
concerned that at certain times with John Cochran there seems to be an
irrelevancy or he gets something wrong.
Budget Busting Bluster.
On January 9 President Reagan submitted his last budget proposal to
Congress. As if on cue, the networks went into a frenzy to discredit it.
On the CBS Evening News Dan Rather announced: "It contains
more for guns, less for butter, and it is out of balance and will add to
the deficit." Still, Rather added sarcastically,
"President-elect Bush called it, and I quote, 'an excellent
budget.'" Sam Donaldson, on ABC's World News Tonight,
charged: "No matter what Mr. Bush proposes now, it may seem mild
compared to this budget, which so many on Capitol Hill say has set a
standard not to meet but to run from."
About the same time, B.J. Cutler, Editor
in Chief of Scripps Howard Newspapers, noted the Reagan budget simply
proposed to curb "handouts to rich farmers" and "limiting
Medicare to a nine percent rise." Cutler wondered, "will such
sensible steps be taken? Of course not." He predicted "merry
recipients will rise up" and "the TV networks will do their
bit, finding one old woman somewhere who would be discomforted and thus
discrediting all spending restraint with the word 'heartless.'"
How accurate was Cutler's prophecy? NBC's
Tom Brokaw asked Andrea Mitchell whether Bush would make cuts or raise
taxes to adjust the Reagan budget. Mitchell responded: "His aides
are saying that he will come down in favor of cuts in social programs
despite all the talk of a 'kinder and gentler' America." That's as
close as the networks came. But that's probably less for lack of intent
than because budget constraints at the networks inhibit them from
finding old women to complain.
When In Doubt, Blame Reagan.
NBC and CBS agree: Ronald Reagan is to blame for the homeless. Back on
December 19 NBC anchor Tom Brokaw complained "that the federal
government is in a position to do a lot more, but is not." Robert
Hager charged "the Reagan Administration has virtually ignored the
law" requiring the government "to make any temporarily vacant
federal building available for shelter space."
Almost exactly a month later, on January
20, CBS anchor Dan rather declared that "few stronger challenges
await President Bush's vision of America than the agonizing problem of
the nation's homeless."
CBS sent reporter Phil Jones to
Minneapolis where he found "shelters are becoming a way of life for
many, the low income housing of the 1980's." Thanks to the Reagan
Administration which "virtually got out of the low income housing
business, slashing federal support for housing by 80 percent."
Instead of seeing more money as the
solution, what about proposals offered by conservatives, but
successfully fought by so-called "homeless advocates." A few
of these include reinstitutionalization of the mentally ill, repealing
rent control laws which artificially suppress the supply of low cost
apartments, or providing vouchers so people can avoid crime ridden
projects while stimulating the private housing industry. Neither Hager
or Jones explained the options, satisfied just to blame Reagan.
Frontlines's Liberal
Reagan Line. Bush's victory baffled liberal historian Garry
Wills, at least judging by a recent article he wrote for Time
magazine. Wills is equally unable to comprehend why anyone voted for
Narrating the January 18 Frontline
on PBS which he also wrote, "The Real Life of Ronald Reagan,"
Wills complained: "In 1984 he would win again. It did not seem to
matter that the deficit was growing; homeless families were in the
street; and real wages were declining. Reagan's campaign team turned the
whole first term into a movie featuring Americans with restored faith.
In 1984," a disappointed Wills continued, "Reagan had
persuaded the majority of Americans that it was morning again in
Glasnostalgia. Many
still question the veracity of Mikhail Gorbachev's efforts to reform
Soviet society, but at least two network reporters regard the
"initiatives" of the Soviet leader as done deals.
Take CBS This Morning
"Political Columnist" Chris Matthews, he's convinced. The
former aide to House Speaker Tip O'Neill described the Soviet Union this
way on January 3: "I mean, this is for real what Gorbachev is doing
in creating free speech in the Soviet Union, allowing people to vote
against candidates for office, opening up economic opportunities and
free markets. I think it's what we've been asking for forty years and
it's happening!"
Ten days later, NBC's Tom Brokaw seemed
convinced too, speaking of "the newly independent Soviet
press." Free speech? Multiple candidate elections? Free markets? An
independent press? Sounds like democracy has come to the Soviet Union.
Well, not everyone would agree with Brokaw and Matthews -- but at least
Mikhail Gorbachev would.
Boettcher Wrong. The
United States charged that West German firms were involved in the
construction of a Libyan chemical weapons plant. On January 5 NBC's Mike
Boettcher concluded his report with support for West Germany and a
denunciation of the United States: "West Germany's tough response
to the American criticism reflects the new realities of a changing
nation....The West German government is making it clear it no longer can
afford to, nor wants to continue playing, the role of America's
submissive partner."
On January 13, Tom Brokaw reported that
West Germany was "beginning to acknowledge that West German
companies helped Libya construct a plant" and that "these are
major embarrassments since the West Germans were so quick to forcefully
reject U.S. claims." Boettcher wasn't embarrassed by his remarks a
week earlier: "While the West German federal government groped for
answers, a local prosecutor is going to court to find out for himself.
Yet another embarrassment for a government which already has been forced
to reverse itself."
Chemical Reaction. Not
long after the Libyan chemical plant controversy arose, an international
conference on chemical weapons began in Paris. As usual, the Soviets
made an earth-shattering announcement -- at least in the eyes of many in
the media.
On January 8, NBC's Garrick Utley
declared: "Mikhail Gorbachev has developed the knack of pulling
surprises, of grabbing the international spotlight and winning public
favor. Today, he did it again through one of his top aides in Paris.
There, at the international conference on chemical weapons, the Soviet
foreign minister Edward Shevardnadze announced his country will begin to
destroy its stockpile of those weapons." The next day, CNN's Gene
Randall was one of the few to report what the Soviet announcement really
amounted to: "But White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said
Moscow's commitment would affect only a small part of the Soviet Union's
stockpile of chemical weapons. Some American observers feel that Soviet
Foreign Minister Edward Shevardnadze's announcement was political,
otherwise empty of meaning."
Conventional Misconceptions.
Less than two weeks after the Soviet chemical weapons declaration, ABC
News highlighted yet another "dramatic" Soviet announcement.
On January 19, ABC's Peter Jennings reported: "We have a report
tonight which represents a real challenge for George Bush. Once again,
the Soviets have taken the initiative in foreign policy. They've
announced plans to reduce further their nuclear weapons in Europe."
This time it was CBS News that put the
Soviet move in perspective. Tom Fenton noted that the Soviets are
"clearly aiming at the growing number of Germans who want their
government to say 'no' to nuclear weapons. He went on to explain:
"The U.S. wants to replace 88 aging short range nuclear
missiles...to counter the overwhelming Soviet advantage in tanks and
troops.... The other major West European allies back the American plan
for new missiles, so the potential is there for a serious split within
NATO. That thought may not have been far from [Soviet Foreign Minister]
Shevardnadze's mind today when he made the announcement."
But ABC clearly didn't see it that way.
In fact, four days earlier Kathleen deLaski labeled Western allies as
the real hindrance to arms agreements. Reporting on upcoming
conventional weapons talks this year, deLaski declared that
"analysts say this time an agreement is possible because of one
man: Mikhail Gorbachev." She went on to caution however: "But
some question whether the U.S. and its allies are ready to be as serious
about conventional arms reductions."
Underwriting the
Urban League
On January 24 the National Urban League
released its annual report on "The State of Black America."
ABC, CNN, and NBC considered it worthy of prominent coverage. According
to CNN's Bernard Shaw, the annual analysis proved, "the Reagan
Administration made no progress to date in narrowing the economic
gap" and "blacks were three times as likely as whites to be
poor, and two and a half times likely to be jobless."
ABC's Bettina Gregory offered a harsher
assessment: "The study concludes racial inequality actually
increased during the Reagan years...This group blames all this on fewer
jobs for unskilled workers and cuts in federal programs to help the
poor....They say white America enjoyed a year of prosperity while black
Americans were driven into poverty and despair." CNN did have Jeff
Levine's January 15 report on black achievements to offset the Urban
League study. But ABC and NBC didn't deem the positive side newsworthy.
Overtown Overtures
How did other reporters explain what
happened in Overtown that week? On January 18 NBC's Ed Rabel absolved
the rioters: "Black leaders condemn the looting and arson, but a
feeling permeates these poor neighborhoods that such violent activity
results from years of frustration and uneven treatment."
Rabels rationalization continued:
"Latins, able to speak Spanish and willing to work long hours at
low wages in a Miami that is largely Hispanic now have overwhelmed
blacks in the job market. Blacks continue to find themselves in the back
of the bus."
But ABC's John Quinones saw the situation
quite differently -- condemning it as criminal: "The violence is no
longer just a civil rights protest, it's outright vandalism -- and many
of the merchants in these communities are demanding tougher police
action, like curfews and protection from the National Guard ...What
began as a racial protest has erupted into a costly struggle on the
streets and the black community stands to lose the most."
Reporters Blast Reagan
Good Riddance
Here are a few examples of what some star
reporters really think of Reagan, culled from recent interview shows:
Skewing Ronald
Reagan's Legacy
As the baton passed from Ronald Reagan to
George Bush, TV news reporters were passing judgment on the Reagan
years. A MediaWatch Study reveals these
network assessments reflected the liberal view of Reagan's legacy.
Echoing liberals, network reporters conceded Reagan's popularity,
praised his communications skills and applauded his relations with the
Soviets. They also blamed Reagan, not congressional spending, for the
budget deficit, and they held Reagan, not the Democratic-controlled city
governments, responsible for urban problems such as homelessness.
At the same time, they ignored or tried
to discredit those aspects of the Reagan legacy most celebrated by
conservatives: the rebuilding of the American economy (especially ending
the inflationary spiral), the reform of the federal courts through
conservative appointments, the implementation of the Reagan doctrine and
buildup of the military.
analyzed all seven ABC, CBS and NBC stories reviewing Reagan's years in
office. These included one on ABC's World News Tonight, two
aired by the CBS Evening News, and one on NBC Nightly News
and Sam Donaldson's recap of the Reagan years, aired by ABC as an
introduction to David Brinkley's December 22 interview with the
President as well as retrospectives on CBS' Sunday Morning and
NBC's Sunday Today.
The improved economy was counted as an
achievement for Reagan six times, but he got blamed for its supposed
shortcomings on 16 occasions, almost three times more often. In
addition, the administration received blamed for the deficit another 11
times. Reporters gave short shrift to aspects of the Reagan years
conservatives admire. A stronger defense was portrayed neutrally on
three occasions, just once as an admirable achievement. Only two reports
bothered to include mention of the dramatic change in the makeup of the
federal bench.
ABC: Sam Donaldson
portrayed the improved economy as more of an accident than anything
planned. He impugned Reagan for neglecting the homeless and for policies
toward blacks that "seemed particularly onerous, particularly when
it came to his conservative appointments to the Supreme Court." In
foreign affairs Donaldson noted the Grenada invasion, but he credited
changes in Soviet behavior to "something" that "happened:
a new Soviet leader named Gorbachev," not the U.S. military
The night after Reagan's January 11
farewell address Richard Threlkeld gave the President credit for one
policy achievement, "peace abroad." As for the economic
recovery Threlkeld undercut the accomplishment, telling viewers
"things are not nearly as prosperous as the President makes them
sound," charging that "on average, more new jobs were created
every year under Jimmy Carter than Ronald Reagan."
CBS: Terence Smith spent
13 minutes on the January 8 Sunday Morning analyzing impact.
Two of his three sources were Washington Post columnist Haynes
Johnson, who told viewers Reagan has "mortgaged the country's
future," and "historian" Bill Leuchtenberg, who announced
that "even the situation with respect to unemployment...the
situation there has been improved...because of the large increase in
dead-end jobs." Smith did not identify either as liberals. Smith
traveled to a state unemployment office where "the reviews were
uniformly harsh" and charged that "the number of Americans
living beneath the poverty line reached new heights during the Reagan
era," though conceding "poor families benefitted from sharply
reduced inflation." Smith also interviewed Pat Buchanan, clearly
identifying him as a "conservative supporter," but didn't let
Buchanan counter any of the earlier economic doom and gloom. In fact,
Johnson and Leuchtenberg got a full three minutes of air time in ten
appearances, while Buchanan, in four appearances, got just over a minute
to defend Reagan.
NBC: On January 20, the
day Reagan left office, John Chancellor signaled it "is clearly
time for a change." To Chancellor, during eight years of Reagan,
"the country's competitors got richer and the United States got
On Sunday Today January 16
Garrick Utley praised Reagan how he "changed his thinking about the
Soviet Union, and our world is a safer place for it." Turning to
domestic affairs, Utley charged "when Ronald Reagan came to
Washington, he in effect told the nation that it could take a vacation
from troubling problems, that it was all right not to worry about the
poor, about race, the homeless, or debt."

Republicans Oppose Dayton's Latest Budget Offer
ST. PAUL (AP) - Gov. Mark Dayton and top Republicans met again Wednesday without meaningful progress toward resolving the budget dispute that has shut down state government.
House Speaker Kurt Zellers and Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch say the negotiations went backwards when Dayton made an offer for either an income tax increase for top earners or a cigarette tax increase. They say they're not interested in raising taxes.
The Democratic governor says the legislators are the ones who took a step backward. He says it's now up to them to make a counteroffer.
Dayton says he would prefer to raise top-tier income taxes, but a cigarette tax increase known as the "health impact fee" helped end the state's last government shutdown in 2005.
He says the two sides remain $1.4 billion apart.

New London police get opportunity to pick work hours
New London - The city's police union will try out a new system of "bid shifts" in February that will allow officers to pick their daily work shifts by seniority for three months at a time.
Officers currently switch different shifts - known as days, evenings, midnights and some that span sections of two adjoining shifts, every 28 days, without the benefit of picking which one they'll work. The new trial system, according to union president Todd Lynch, allows officers to pick their shifts - with more senior officers picking first - every 84 days, or three months.
The more seniority an officer has, the more choice. And, Lynch says, officers can pick a shift that better fits their personal lives rather than have to go "from nights to days and back again."
Most departments in the region employ a variation of the system, each revolving around the principle of seniority. In Norwich, shifts are picked by seniority but are permanent, rather than being bid every three months. In Waterford, the least senior members get a shot once a year to pick first for a three-month period. Ledyard officers pick two shifts and are assigned to one for a week at a time.
The trial here will lasts for three months and then a decision will be made to implement it full time.
The arrangement, which was negotiated into the current two-year union contract that expires in June because officers wanted to pick their own shifts, hasn't come without some controversy. Intended to be in place by Jan. 1, the document wasn't signed until Jan. 18 with a scheduled Feb. 24 date of implementation.
Lynch said the union filed a grievance against the city when the contracted deadline was missed. Because the current union contract with the city was signed in July 2011, "there was plenty of time to implement the system before (Jan. 1)," Lynch said.
Negotiations were bogged down because Police Chief Margaret Ackley refused to sign the contract, Lynch said, even after she was given a city-set 3 p.m. Jan. 18 deadline to do so.
Finizio said the "signatory authority" for such documents is his and trumps that of department heads.
"If it's so needed in a particular circumstance … I was here, so I signed it," he said. "It was logistics, not anything else."
Ackley did not respond to an email requesting comment.
Lynch is an outspoken critic of Ackley's and has a pending federal lawsuit against her and the city for alleged civil rights violations.
"The union has been open to sit down with anyone, including the chief," Lynch said. "She wants to take corrective actions after the work is done but won't sit in a room with us. She assigns the deputy chief to sit in the room with us and then she doesn't like the outcome."
Finizio said he could not discuss the contract negotiations since they took place among the union executive board, Chief Administrative Officer Jane Glover and Deputy Chief Peter Reichard. He did commend the group for coming to a "favorable resolution." The Jan. 1 deadline in the union contract, Finizio said, was a "target date" missed because of "multiple things we're working on."
Ackley, who is limited to two hours of work per day for health reasons, "wasn't allowed to be as intimately involved" because of her schedule, Finizio said.
"She was consulted on negotiations throughout," he said.
Finizio said the positive outcome is potentially soured by Lynch's insistence to "score a political point."
"If we can't go into a room as the union and administration and work out a deal that's properly executed and leave it at that, that potentially jeopardizes our ability to negotiate in good faith," Finizio said. "We negotiated a good agreement, I've signed it, he's (Lynch) signed it, it's good for membership. Why can't we just leave it at that?"

Difference between revisions of "Esteli"
Revision as of 23:56, 21 August 2013
Estelí is a city in northern Nicaragua.
Get in
There are two bus stations both on the Pan American about 100m from each other. The southern is smaller and better organised but more buses come and go from the north. Most main destinations are served by both though so you will need to check both for times etc. Both stations are a little out of the main town (C$15-C$20 in collectivo to the Parque Central 2007). 20 minutes walking from the Parque Central. Turn left at the first paved road and then right about 4 blocks later - when you hit the main north/south street (with lots of shops, comedores and people around).
Get around
Local buses (C$3 to any destination) and share taxis (C$8 in the central area and no more C$20 within the city, agree on the price before you get in). You can easily walk around the city center.
Lots of beautiful murals in various places around town.
They have three organic gardens one for natural herbal medicines donated by Stanford University in 2010, one for organic vegetables and one for indigenous tropical plants that you can stroll through during weekdays. This is an excellent photo opportunity, you can pose in front of beautiful rich colourful murals, painted on the outside walls that tell the history of the project and show the steps of the papermaking process. All this rests in a large, tranquil, park-like setting. Another building has a mural showing the development of the Ekokids from the surrounding barrios, especially Boris Vega. These underprivileged kids are learning good environmental and health practices. If you have the time, they encourage you to spend time volunteering and living with a family in the barrio for a week or month or longer to really learn the culture better. Some volunteers have stayed for a year or more. It is located 4 blocks west of the water tank located in the south end of Mercado de Alfredo Lazo in southwest Estelí.
There is a public market called El Mercado Alfredo Lazo in the south end of town. Easy to find or just ask. Just north of that market are lots of leather shops. Good stuff at good prices. For example, you can probably get a custom made pair of boots for around US$50.
UPDATE 27 feb 2011: this place seems to have been closed.
Get out

The stake president oversees stake meetings. He presides at these meetings unless an Area Seventy or General Authority attends. His counselors may conduct stake meetings and may preside if he is absent. Stake meetings should not conflict with Sunday ward meetings.
Stake Conference
Each stake holds two stake conferences during the year as scheduled by the President of the Quorum of the Twelve. In most parts of the world, the stake president presides at one stake conference and an assigned Area Seventy or General Authority presides at the other.
In some stake conferences, a satellite broadcast may be incorporated into the Sunday general session. This broadcast will include instruction by General Authorities. When a satellite broadcast is used, that conference takes the place of the stake conference at which an Area Seventy or General Authority would have presided.
When a new stake president must be called before a regularly scheduled stake conference, a special stake conference may be held.
The primary purpose of stake conference is to strengthen faith and testimony. All talks and music should be planned with this purpose in mind.
Another purpose is to conduct stake business. In one stake conference each year, a member of the stake presidency presents general, area, and stake officers to be sustained, using the Officers Sustained form. He also presents the names of stake officers who have been released so the congregation can give an expression of thanks for their service. This business is normally conducted in the first stake conference each year
If stake officers are called or released between stake conferences, they should be presented for a sustaining vote or an expression of thanks in the next stake conference unless this has been done in a stake general priesthood meeting (for callings indicated in the Chart of Callings on pages 159–60) or in ward sacrament meetings (as outlined in 19.3).
Brethren who have been recommended for ordination to the offices of elder and high priest are normally presented for a sustaining vote in a stake conference or a stake general priesthood meeting. Instructions are provided in Handbook 1, 16.7.1.
Each stake conference normally includes the following meetings:
Instruction in all stake conference sessions is under the direction of the presiding authority. When an Area Seventy or General Authority will preside, he may invite the stake president to suggest subjects. When the stake president will preside, he and his counselors select subjects for instruction.
If necessary, conference sessions may be broadcast to other locations in the stake.
Planning and Conducting Stake Conference
The presiding officer directs all conference planning. He approves all conference participants and all musical selections well before the conference.
The stake president conducts the Sunday general session. His counselors may conduct other conference meetings.
The stake president speaks in the Sunday general session of the conference. His counselors speak in conference sessions as determined by the presiding authority.
Planning includes making arrangements for adequate seating, ushering, and parking. Stake leaders may assign priesthood quorums, including prospective elders, to provide these services.
Music for Stake Conference
See 14.6.1.
Stake General Priesthood Meeting
The stake presidency convenes one stake general priesthood meeting each year. All Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthood holders in the stake are to attend.
The stake presidency uses these meetings to instruct and inspire priesthood holders. The presidency prayerfully selects the subjects and the speakers for these meetings.
In these meetings the stake presidency also conducts stake priesthood business, such as:
Stake Priesthood Leadership Meeting
The stake presidency convenes a stake priesthood leadership meeting in connection with each stake conference (see 18.3.1, item 2). The presidency also convenes one other stake priesthood leadership meeting during the year, for a total of three such meetings annually. The purposes
Brethren who attend this meeting include the stake presidency; high council; stake clerk (and assistant clerks as needed); stake executive secretary; stake Young Men presidency (and secretary as needed); bishoprics; ward clerks (and assistant clerks as needed); ward executive secretaries; elders quorum presidencies and secretaries; ward mission leaders; and ward Young Men presidencies (and secretaries and assistant advisers as needed). The stake presidency may invite others to attend as needed.
The structure of this meeting is flexible to provide the most effective instruction possible. All brethren may remain together for the entire meeting. Or, after they have met together for stake business and general instruction, the stake presidency may have them separate into groups to counsel together and receive specific instruction in their assignments. For example:
Bishoprics and other Aaronic Priesthood leaders could meet together.
Elders quorum leaders could meet together.
The high councilor assigned to missionary work or a member of the stake presidency could meet with ward mission leaders.
The stake executive secretary usually meets with ward executive secretaries.
The stake clerk usually meets with ward clerks.
In these groups, the stake presidency may provide instruction or invite high councilors, the stake Young Men presidency, and others to assist.
Stake High Priests Quorum Meeting
The stake presidency convenes a high priests quorum meeting for all members of the high priests quorum at least once a year. During this meeting, they teach quorum members the doctrine of the gospel (see Alma 13:1–6), instruct them in their duties, and conduct quorum business. An annual meeting of all ordained high priests in the stake is no longer held.
Stake Presidency Meeting
The stake presidency meets regularly. The stake clerk and stake executive secretary attend; the clerk keeps a record of assignments and decisions. The stake president may invite others to attend as needed.
During this meeting, members of the stake presidency counsel together about stake matters. They plan ways to strengthen individuals and families. They evaluate wards, elders quorums, auxiliaries, programs, and activities. They also make plans to implement instructions from the scriptures, Church leaders, and handbooks.
During this meeting, members of the stake presidency identify members to call to Church positions. They also review bishops' recommendations of members to serve missions and of brethren to be ordained elders or high priests.
Other agenda items for this meeting may include reporting on assignments, planning meetings, reviewing the stake calendar, and reviewing the stake budget.
High Council Meeting
The stake president presides over the high council meeting. which is attended by the stake presidency, high council, stake clerk, and stake executive secretary. The stake presidency may invite others to attend as needed.
The high council meets twice monthly, where feasible. The agenda may include the following items:
Stake Council Meeting
The stake president presides over the stake council. This council is composed of the stake presidency, high council, stake clerk, stake executive secretary, and stake Relief Society, Young Men, Young Women, Primary, and Sunday School presidents. The stake presidency may invite others to attend as needed.
The stake council meets two to four times a year as needed. The agenda may include the following items:
Meeting with Bishoprics
The stake presidency meets with bishoprics to instruct them in their duties, review Church policies, and counsel together. These meetings are held one to four times a year as needed.
The stake presidency, all bishoprics, the stake clerk, and the stake executive secretary attend this meeting. If desired, the stake president may limit the meeting to bishops only.
Stake Aaronic Priesthood–Young Women Committee Meeting
The stake president assigns a counselor to preside over the stake Aaronic Priesthood–Young Women committee. Other committee members are the high councilors assigned to the stake Young Men and Young Women organizations, the stake Young Men presidency and secretary, and the stake Young Women presidency and secretary. The stake presidency may invite youth to attend the committee's meetings as needed. The high councilor who serves as the stake activities committee chairman and others may also be invited to attend.
This committee meets as needed to plan stake-sponsored combined activities for young men and young women. Youth should be included as much as possible in planning and carrying out activities such as youth conferences, dances, devotionals, and multistake events. Youth may also participate in discussions about challenges that the youth in the stake are facing.
Stake activities should supplement ward activities, not compete with them. They are coordinated in stake council meetings. Ward leaders should be notified well in advance of the events.
Stake Bishops' Welfare Council Meeting
Information on the stake bishops' welfare council is provided in Handbook 1, 5.3.
Stake Auxiliary Leadership Meetings
The stake Relief Society, Young Women, Primary, and Sunday School presidencies each plan and conduct one stake auxiliary leadership meeting each year. If local circumstances and travel time do not place undue burdens on leaders, the stake presidency may authorize a second meeting each year. Each organization schedules its own meeting unless the stake presidency decides to combine all meetings into the same time and place.
The high councilor assigned to the organization presides over the meeting unless a member of the stake presidency attends. All ward auxiliary presidencies and secretaries are invited to attend. Other ward auxiliary leaders, teachers, and advisers, as well as bishopric members assigned to the auxiliary, may be invited to attend as needed.
The purposes of these meetings are to teach auxiliary leaders their duties, instruct them in teaching and leadership skills, and strengthen their faith. These meetings can also be used to correlate activities, give reports, and share ideas.
The structure of these meetings is flexible to provide the most effective instruction possible.
The stake Young Men presidency does not hold a stake auxiliary leadership meeting. Instead, stake and ward Young Men presidencies attend stake priesthood leadership meetings (see 18.3.3).
Stake Young Single Adult Committee Meeting
See 16.3.2.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ashers13 from Nice fitting dress. Ordered this dress in a size medium. I am 5'9 approx 135-140 lbs, and a 34C/D cup and normally wear a size 30 waist in jeans. One thing i would mention about the color of the calypso coral is that is was exactly what i was expecting, but the white color against it was more of a creme nude not white as it appears in the photos. I'm sure this dress being set off a white background didn't help this. Love this dress though and its fit is amazing. Looks the same on me as it does in the picture. Recommend this dress.

Lanterne Rouge wrote:In the absence of the usual journalists, here goes ...
More perfect weather greeted the 14 or so RBWR regulars plus one new starter. Route selection proved challenging without the benevolent one. With Colebrook eventually decided upon, the trip out was comfortable and relatively uneventful. A re-group at the top of Cole Hill to remove sticky rocks from tyres etc followed by a roll into Colebrook itself. The ingestion of various solid foods, substances in bottles etc which may require further investigation was the precursor to a nervous, probing climb followed by a furious descent of Cole Hill after which the scribe saw nothing more ...
Post-match reports have it that RW with a full time-trial front end powered into Richmond at the head of the field. At the other end of proceedings the PMM man was comprehensively outwitted for the lanterne rouge.
Coffee, cake, conversation, dodgy poetry, porridge enjoyed by all. The conviviality considerably enhanced by the presence of Olmanec edging ever closer to his much anticipated return to the bike.
(a 24 hour delay will apply to this as a first post, by which time it may well be superseded - so be it!)
Indeed, there was a 24 hour delay, during which time the police forces of Australia were investigating the merits of the one dubbing him/herself "lanterne rouge", and the rest of us were asking "where the *^%%$&^%% is the report on yesterdays ride?
Who is this "l r"?
Little clues were given, except for the choice of language. "Conviviality "? What kind of drug is that? Must be Peptime!
Thank you sincerely l r.
Very happy to hear of the visit by Eric. Sorry I missed him.

Stocks finished near session highs Friday, recovering from a two-day slump, lifted by upbeat economic data from Europe and after comments from St. Louis Fed President James Bullard that the central bank's aggressive easy money policy will stay for a "long time."
The Dow eked out a slim weekly gain, avoiding its third-consecutive weekly decline. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 posted its first weekly loss this year, snapping its seven-week win streak.

"We're seeing some signs that the weekend anxiety is not that heavy," said Art Cashin, director of floor operations at UBS Financial Services. "We have the Italian election coming up [this weekend] and a sign that I look at is the U.S. dollar—it was higher this morning on some anxiety and there was a bit of a flight to safety in Treasurys, but that's abating and that's telling me that [the market's] not too concerned about the weekend so that's why we're having a good rally."

Post office, bank, and more
This photo captures at least 25% of Pembroke, KY's downtown area -- the post office and the bank. The bank is a branch office of BB&T. I'm glad that they have decided to use the old bank building.
Just to the left of this photo, several railroad tracks intersect the street. On the other side of the tracks, you will find a liquor store and a feed store. A general merchandise and bargain store sits across the street from the post office. Several churches are located in the general area, as well. More businesses are located along Highway 41.
Pembroke has a population of about 1000 people. The children attend Pembroke Elementary School south of town, and the teenagers go to Hopkinsville for middle and high school.

Oct. 12: St. Lawrence University junior quarterback Mike Lefflbine threw for three touchdowns and his team's defense was solid again, as the Saints football team knocked off Rensselaer by the score of 20-13 at Leckonby Stadium on Saturday afternoon during "Homecoming Weekend." The Saints improve to 5-1 on the season overall and 3-0 in conference, sitting atop the Liberty League standings alongside nationally-ranked No. 7 Hobart. Rensselaer falls to 0-2 in the conference and 3-2 overall.
"Rensselaer is a very well-coached and tough football team, but we were able to make enough plays again in the second half to find a way to win," said St. Lawrence head coach Mark Raymond. "We're looking forward to a getting a little bit of rest, getting some guys healthy and to squaring off with Springfield in two weeks."
St. Lawrence put together an efficient effort on Saturday, as the team never trailed while finishing with a 304-260 advantage in total offense. Lefflbine closed with 161 yards and three scores on 18-of-29 passing, including five completions to senior Mike Tateosian for 104 yards and a touchdown. Rensselaer's Andrew Armato led all players with 94 yards on 12 carries, while quarterback Jeff Avery was 10-of-24 passing for 99 yards and was sacked four times.
Defensively, the Saints continued their outstanding play, allowing two or fewer touchdowns for the fifth time this season, all of which were victories. Evan Lapice had a game-high 10 tackles and a sack, while captain Shane Hart added nine tackles and a fumble recovery. Rensselaer's defensive unit was anchored by Brandon Cook's eight-tackle outing.
St. Lawrence took a 6-0 lead on its second drive of the game, as the offense went 56 yards in five plays to take the early advantage. The Saints used some trickery to get into the red zone, as running back Jake Gnieser connected with Tateosian for a 45-yard gain, setting up Lefflbine's 1-yard touchdown pass to rookie Mitch Gallagher. Collin Shapiro's extra point missed.
Andrew Franks would get the Engineers on the scoreboard with an impressive 42-yard field goal with 2:48 left in the first quarter, but a turnover early in the second would haunt RPI. Avery lost a fumble at his own 18, and with Hart recovering for St. Lawrence, he raced the ball to the 4-yard line. Lefflbine would find Gallagher again over the middle of the field for the touchdown, and with Shapiro's kick connecting, a 13-3 lead.
Rensselaer stayed within striking distance before halftime thanks to a St. Lawrence turnover inside its own 20. The Engineers went to the ground game, as Armato got the ball to the 3-yard line before Nick Schlatz took it in for the touchdown. Franks added the extra point, and after a 3-and-out by the Saints, would tie the game in the final minute of the half on a 28-yard field goal to send the game to intermission tied at 13-13.
The key play of the game came after back-to-back fumbles by the two teams. Lefflbine fumbled on 4th down at the RPI 25, but Schlatz would return the favor on the next play, as the Saints set up at the RPI 29. Lefflbine would take the ensuing snap and deliver a perfectly-thrown ball to Tateosian in stride, as he took it to the end zone for the touchdown. Shapiro added the extra point for a 20-13 lead.
That sequence would be enough for the Saints' defense, as they held RPI to a missed field goal try and back-to-back punts. The Saints were able to wipe 6:19 off the game clock in the fourth quarter thanks to a 12-play, 50-yard drive, but Shapiro's 22-yard field goal that would've put the game out of reach missed, giving the Engineers hope. Though the visitors drove the ball from their 20 to the Saints' 34, Schlatz was taken down on 4th-and-4 a yard shy of the marker by sophomore corner Leondre Simmon's game-winning tackle in front of over 2,000 fans on hand for the annual Homecoming Game.
St. Lawrence will have its bye week next weekend before returning to action on Saturday, October 26 in Springfield, MA against the Springfield Pride. Rensselaer will host Rochester next weekend at noon.

Radio Society to Ofcom:
Hear See you in court
Powerlines problem leads to legal lashing
The Radio Society of Great Britian will see Ofcom in court over the regulator's failure to properly investigate powerline networking kit that the society reckons is being supplied illegally.
The Radio Society has kicked up a fuss about powerline kit before: it generates interference that mucks about with amateurs' usage, but (more importantly) the Society reckons equipment doesn't conform to the appropriate standards and is therefore being supplied illegally. Ofcom has failed to investigate the claims, this inertia leading to the legal action.
"The RSGB continues to find Ofcom's responses and position totally unacceptable and has recently met with and instructed its lawyers to investigate a legal challenge on the Ofcom position," said the organisation.
Ofcom and the Radio Society have sparred over this before - notably earlier this month when the regulator announced it would be consulting the Society when compiling a new report to be completed in November, apparently to the surprise and delight of the Society.
We contacted Ofcom for comment on the latest round, but they haven't got back to us yet.
The Radio Society of Great Britain represents around a third of the UK's 65,000 or so licensed amateurs, who struggle to pick up the weakest signal while operating in residential areas where neighbours are often unwittingly generating interference though powerline networking.
Amateurs aren't beyond knocking on doors and politely asking those nearby to use some other form of networking, but the RSGB's point is that the kit hasn't passed the requisite certification. If true that makes the number of instances of interference irrelevant: there's no point in having certification requirements if manufacturers are free to ignore them ®

When the referee signalled the end of the FIFA Confederations Cup match between Japan and Italy at Arena Pernambuco in Recife, the winning side barely had the strength left to raise their arms in celebration.
In a pulsating contest that swung back and forth, the Italians dug deep in the final minutes to beat a valiant Japanese team that had glorious chances to claim victory, but instead found themselves on the wrong end of a 4-3 scoreline.
Still breathless from their efforts, but with broad smiles on their faces, various Italian players, as well as their coach, Cesare Prandelli, chatted exclusively with FIFA.com post-match.
A common theme to emerge was their respect for the superb Japanese performance. Prandelli's charges were magnanimous to a man, dishing out praise to the talented Asian representatives, and even admitting that Lady Luck had been on their side during the epic Group A encounter.
Emotional rollercoaster
Daniele de Rossi was one of Italy's outstanding performers on the night, scoring the crucial goal that cut Japan's lead to 2-1, playing a part in the decisive fourth goal, as well as generating most of Gli Azzurri's positive play on the night.
Now 30 years of age, the Roma midfielder has participated in every major tournament the sport has to offer, but despite that is unashamed to admit that it was "one of the toughest matches" of his career.
Following that revealing declaration, the versatile midfield man does not hold back his admiration for the losing side.
"They're an amazing team that didn't deserve to lose. To be honest, I really must congratulate Japan, who showed great quality. They were very brave, and had great players like Keisuke Honda and Shinji Kagawa – we were exhausted running after them," he said.
But he was not the only one to rave about the Samurai Blue. Even the statistics reveal the spectacular nature of the duel, with the Asians managing 17 shots on target (including four that hit the post) to the Europeans' 12. They also unexpectedly dominated possession, by 55 per cent to 45 per cent.
It comes as no surprise, then, to hear defender Giorgio Chiellini recognise that "they put us under enormous pressure." For the Juventus centre-back, the credit for Japan's enterprising play should go to one man in particular.
"It comes down to Alberto Zaccheroni, without a doubt. He was my coach at Juventus and I learned a lot under him, and the same thing seems to be happening with them. I think he's doing a remarkable job. They're the current Asian champions and he's got them playing very well. With another year of hard work under their belts, they're going to be a force to be reckoned with at the World Cup."
Classic clash
Prandelli's analysis of the match is less emotional but equally complimentary. "I was expecting a difficult game, but not to that extent. We were very lucky, and we had to show courage to pull off the win. Japan are an organised, attractive team that play great football. I'm really impressed."
Japan's ebullient display coupled with Italy's traditional hunger for victory laid the foundations for a confrontation that will live long in the memory, as confirmed by another of its protagonists, Christian Maggio.
"It was an incredible spectacle that even we hadn't expected. The outcome was a win that we struggled for, but it was also hugely impressive. We rode our luck, and at one point we could tell that we had a real game on our hands, but we pulled ourselves together to overcome an excellent team," explained the 31-year-old defender.
Emanuele Giaccherini, the last player to share his thoughts, was one of Italy's heroes in Recife, demonstrating persistence and skill to provoke the own goal that levelled the score at 2-2.
The Juventus star offers a more pensive reflection on the night's events: "It was a learning experience for us. To mount a comeback versus such an intense, formidable team will no doubt serve us well for the rest of the competition."

Our University's MEDLINE subscription enables us to search back to 1966, which is I presume as far as Medline goes back. So you could ask your library people whether they could either get University access to those earlier years, as the databases do exist, or whether they could find some way for you to do a search of them on a special-case basis. I wish Medline would put a small amount of money into gradually going back further -- it would probably not cost much, as the size the biomedical literature shrinks as one goes back. Furthermore, one does not have to "keep up" with that literature -- it's of finite size and isn't growing. It would be lovely to search back to 1900, or even 1850.

This Week's Attitude
It was quite fitting that the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Yankee Stadium was held on August 16, the same day that Babe Ruth died in 1948, because the event marked the death knell for the House That Ruth Built, which has been the home of the winningest team for the last 83 years.
Rumor has it that Yankees principal owner George Steinbrenner wants to nickname the new stadium, just north and across the street from the current site in The Bronx, the Home of Champions, which is quite apropos considering the team's legacy. Hopefully, it is also a forecast for the team's future.
While traditionalists are decrying the change, rational supporters know it is a wise move, since the stadium, except for the immaculately-maintained field, is in desperate need of repairs, not to mention the lack of luxury boxes that for years Steinbrenner has craved to bring in additional profits to boost the team's already substantial bottom line.
While several baseball franchises have opened new stadiums across the country in the last two decades, the only modification Yankee Stadium got was when the Bronx ballpark was renovated 33 years ago. Since then, the third-oldest ballpark - after Boston's Fenway Park (1912) and Chicago's Wrigley Field (1914) - has steadily depreciated.
Future home aside, the Yankees hardly played like champions as they lost the first two games following the ceremony. However, after languishing in second place the first half of the season, the Yankees held a slim game-and-a-half margin as they headed to Fenway to face their archenemy. But, with an exhausting five games totaling almost twenty hours - including the longest nine-inning game (at 4:45) ever played - over four days, the Yankees swept the Red Sox and improved their American League Eastern Division lead to six and a half games on Monday.
Nevertheless, with thirty-seven games - as of today - before the playoffs, New York's lead is comfortable, but certainly not insurmountable, especially with Boston coming to The Bronx for three mid-September games.
The single opponent Yankee fans have been concerned about in nail-biting September pennant races for the last decade has been the Red Sox. Even though Boston broke the Curse in 2004 when they won their first World Series since 1918 after ousting the Yankees from the playoffs, perhaps the most unparalleled rivalry in professional sports remains alive and fiercely competitive.
Until early July, it looked like the Yankees' twelfth consecutive playoff appearance was doubtful as they looked like a team that might be vying for a wild card post rather than another division title. But, after trailing the Red Sox by 3 1/2 games a month ago, it now appears Boston will be the team competing for a post-season slot with Chicago and Minnesota.
Injuries, which had already sidelined two starting pitchers, peaked in May when two of the team's corner outfielders and top RBI men - Hideki Matsui and Gary Sheffield - suffered long-term injuries. A month later, sophomore sensation Robinson Cano was sidelined by an injury and only returned a few weeks ago, but in peak form. Matsui could return in September, but Sheffield may be shelved until 2007.
Despite the fact that about half the Yankee batting order was comprised of rookies, second-tier players and other team's castoffs, the damn Yankees have been playing pretty damn well - most of the time - as their record indicates. That's essentially because the team's core of veterans - Bernie Williams, Derek Jeter, and Jorge Posada - and more recent additions, like Jason Giambi and Mike Mussina, have provided the ability and leadership to keep them in contention.
The Yankees strengthened their roster before the July 31 trading deadline, but the Red Sox couldn't mange a deal, but underwent medical setbacks that mirrored the Yankees earlier problems.
But, talent aside, much of the credit for the Yankees' resilience goes to Brooklyn-born manager Joe Torre, who skillfully deals with 25 different personalities, knows how to motivate his players when he detects budding complacency.
Certainly after Boston Massacre II this weekend, skeptical Yankee fans are no longer whispering among themselves that this might be the first year since 1994 their team wouldn't be playing baseball in October.
But, no matter what happens between now and October 1 - the last day of the regular season - astute baseball fans know the playoffs are something completely different. And many Yankee players have been there before. Eleven times in the last eleven years, including eight straight division titles. Most Yankee players know how to cope with playoff pressure. The young Detroit Tigers squad, on the other hand, is unfamiliar with that kind of tension and the franchise hasn't been in the playoffs for decades, which, despite the best record in baseball and talented lineup, could be detrimental when autumn leaves start to fall.
After a long season that began in early April, the Yankees' mettle will be tested in the coming weeks. But ever since Joe Torre became the Yankees' manager, the team has flourished to near dynasty-proportions, winning four World Series in the process. Nonetheless, despite being baseball's wealthiest team, due to financial disparity, a championship has eluded the Yankees for the last five straight seasons.
Yankee fans want - dare I say, expect - nothing less than a championship every year. And despite the change of venue in three years, it's logical to predict professional sports' most triumphant team will continue the distinguished tradition it has sustained for eight decades.

What an arrogant douche.

I hope a Raven hits him Kam Chancellor-style, knocking the ball out and recovering.

themunn wrote:Why not?
3rd all-time in receptions, 2nd in TDs with only Rice and TO ahead, despite the likes of Daunte Culpepper (who was a product of Moss and not vice versa), Kerry Collins and Alex Smith making the bulk of his passes (3 seasons of a HoF QB compared to the entire career that Rice had with Montana and then Young throwing the ball makes a difference).
I'd say it's neck and neck between the two
The Radish wrote:Different times now, offenses way more pass oriented. I would put Largent in the top 5 for sure mostly because he did most of his work in a more run oriented offense.

Dee Hart Transfer Rumors-Michigan Potential Destination
In the past hour rumors have been swirling on twitter about Dee Hart potentially transferring. This tweet from @UMGoBlog was the first one I found that wasn't some sort of retweet;
Rumor: Dee Hart named 4th RB @ Bama. Considering transferring to AUB/FLA/MICH.
Now I don't know how much validity there are to these rumors, and I don't know how reliable UMGoBlog is, but this is interesting if true.

A Soma is Born
This is my new Smoothie, still nameless, that was birthed this Sunday. Up until then I had been trucking around on a Peugeot mixte (a lovable bike until you're cursing it as you scaling one of SF's hills) . It's not fair to compare these two bicycles but I will say that since Sunday I have been a born-again biker.
First a few words on the Smoothie:
Let me preface this by saying I'm one of the graphic designers here at Soma. I've been here for 5 months now and before then my bike knowledge was scant. I'm at a conversational level in bike language. I love riding though, and I've started to appreciate the technical aspects of biking more since working here.
Smoothie definitely lives up to its name, my neighborhood is rife with potholes but since Sunday, riding's been a whole lot more enjoyable. While my Peugeot (Lucille 2) lagged on hills, climbing with the Smoothie is a breeze (maybe I should name it Ms. Moss). I love it so much that I keep it in my office with my all day-it's too beautiful to be tossed about in the communal bike parking area.
Why did I wait 5 months for biking bliss? As I mentioned above, having just stepped off the plane in Bike Land, the idea of building a bike was intimidating. I have become more comfortable with the parts, knew what I wanted in a bike and felt I was at the point when I could make a thorough shopping list.
My Shopping List:
Soma Smoothie Frame 54 cm (I'm 5'7") in Pearl White
Soma Fork 1 1/8" CroMo Lug White
Soma Thick and Zesty Bar Tape in Pear Green
Soma Toe Clips 2-Gate Chrome
Nitto Dynamic 626 Seatpost
Tange Headset Threadless in Black
The new silver Soma Shotwell Stem
Nitto Noodle Handlebar 41/26.0
Soma New Express Tires 700x26 w/ Skin Wall
Soma Ensho Saddle --the new Electric line in "Mutha of Pearl"(ridiculous saddles call for ridiculous names)
The SRAM Apex Group
and Velocity Deep-V rims
I love the Smoothie in Pearl White because of the versatility you have with handlebar tape and saddle color (as I mentioned, I'm a designer). I chose kind of crazy colors, I know, bright colors please me. My coworkers have given me a lot of grief over the tape/saddle combination... there's quite a variety of white Smoothie builds out there-check out our flickr pool. The possibilities are endless!
Having never built a bike before but wanting to get a taste of the process, I lured my coworker Keith (the resident mechanic) into helping me (his only currency is beer). We listened to some Lisa Lisa and Keith built my bike-explaining the process along the way. If you're a novice to building, I definitely recommend having a mechanic help you-it's pretty complicated and involves a few of odd/expensive tools.
Here are some pics from the process:
The first trimester
Keith pressing the headset
Shotwell Stem and fork... lost without their frame
Prepping the fork...
The third trimester...OOO!!!
Yes, building a Soma is intimidating to those unfamiliar with the process (me and many others). Yes, it would have been easier to head down to the local bike shop/shop the interwebs and pick up a Trek or Specialized bike already built. But when you assemble your own, every time you ride it you will be in heaven-relishing every decision you made. And Somas are so much more awesome!!
That's all....I promise. Have a great weekend, and for the love of Mike, go test ride a Soma!

LOUISVILLE (Nov. 21, 2009) - Outscoring No. 20 Louisville 35-32 in the second half, the ETSU men's basketball team did not back down from its Big East Conference foe, but the Buccaneers still could not overcome a tough first half offensively as they fell 69-56 to the Cardinals Saturday in front of 19,179 at historic Freedom Hall.
Junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) sank four 3-pointers in the second half and scored a game-high 18 points in a contest that saw the Buccaneers' defense hold Louisville to just 36 percent shooting from the floor. In addition, ETSU held its own on the glass against a much larger Louisville squad, finishing 44-44 in the rebounding category.
"I'm not one to be pleased with a loss, but I saw a lot of positives from our team tonight," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team will try to snap its current three-game losing streak Wednesday night at home against College of Charleston. "To come in here and play one of the nation's top teams - in front of a large, hostile crowd - and battle like we did is encouraging. The loss to Morgan State was a step back, but this was a step forward."
The Bucs stayed close in the early going, as a Tubbs' 3-pointer made it 10-7 in favor of ETSU with 15:04 left. However, from there the Bucs went cold and did not score a field goal for over 10 minutes of game play, allowing the Cardinals to pull away by as many as 17 with 1:32 left before the intermission. At the break, it was 37-21 in favor of the Cardinals.
ETSU did hold Louisville to 39 percent shooting in the first half and forced 10 turnovers, but the Cardinals dominated on the glass, besting the Bucs 25-14 in the paint. In addition, Louisville's defensive pressure held the Bucs to just 29 percent shooting from the field and 22 percent from 3-point range.
Yet in the second half, the Bucs reversed most of those trends, outrebounding Louisville 30-19 in the second half and making a more effective effort on the offensive end. Though the Cardinals built their lead to as many as 21 points with 15:14 left in the game, ETSU continued to claw and fight, ultimately hitting five 3-pointers as a team in the final 10 minutes of play to pull to within 11 at 67-56 with 52 seconds left in the game.
Along with Tubbs, the Bucs got 12 points from junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester), while junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) had nine points and nine boards. For Louisville, Edgar Sosa had a team-high 16 points, while Samardo Samuels added 14 and 11 rebounds in a double-double effort.
ETSU's issues offensively continued for a third straight game, as the Bucs hit on just 33 percent from the field and 57 percent from the foul line. The Bucs also committed 20 turnovers in the game. However, the Bucs did hold the Cardinals to just 20 percent shooting from 3-point range, usually a strength for Louisville teams.
The Bucs will return to action Wednesday night at 7 p.m., hosting former Southern Conference rival College of Charleston inside Memorial Center. For more on ETSU basketball throughout the 2009-10 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's basketball link.
