Beverly Hills Occupiers Protest Potential Sale of L.A. Times to Kochs The Hollywood Reporter's Paul Bond details what might be the lamest protest in the history of Los Angeles -- which is saying a lot. Thursday, in Beverly Hills, a few dozen people showed up to protest at the home of Bruce Karsh, the Tribune Company chairman. They're worried he might sell the L.A. Times to the Koch brothers. by John Nolte
National Journal: DC Never More Out of Touch than During White House Correspondents Dinner Ron Fournier at the National Journal blistered Saturday's White House Correspondents Dinner, where celebrities and the permanent political class members -- and the reporters who are supposed to keep them accountable -- wine and dine the weekend away, oblivious to the stark realities outside the Washington "Boomtown" bubble. He writes that the dinner is just "lousy optics" - especially when the country is mired in economic struggles and joblessness, a ballooning federal debt, the Boston Marathon and West, Texas tragedies, and the "blood-red line in Syria." by Tony Lee 27 Apr 2013
New York Times Devolves into Luxury Product for Elite Few "The future of good newspapers is expensive. The products that once were a metaphor for the democratization of information— remember the Penny Press?—are evolving into luxury products for high-end consumers." by John Nolte 27 Apr 2013
Newspaper Exploits Texas Tragedy To Hammer Perry Gov. Rick Perry said Friday he's disgusted a California newspaper ran a cartoon that depicts him boasting about booming business in Texas, then shows an explosion, a week after a fertilizer plant explosion killed 14 people in a Texas town. by Larry O'Connor 27 Apr 2013
WaPo Rips Politico as a He-Man Woman Haters Club Whereas I saw Politico and Byers committing the sin of hyping a non-story, much of the left-wing media saw sexism-on-parade. Apparently, within the media-collective, Politico is seen as something of a men's club where women staffers have a hard time surviving. by John Nolte 27 Apr 2013
CBS Invites America-Bashing Psy to White House Correspondents Dinner Courtesy of CBS News, Korean pop star Psy will be there. Because nothing qualifies you as a member of the media/Hollywood/DC elite faster than being a one-hit wonder who openly called for the death of American troops serving in Iraq. by John Nolte 27 Apr 2013
Pigford Across the Media Coming years late to the story, The New York Times finally took a look at the Pigford scandal that Andrew Breitbart, Lee Stranahan and the Breitbart team exposed starting in 2010. At last the story is making an appearance across the media. by Warner Todd Huston 26 Apr 2013
Brokaw Rips White House Correspondents Dinner: 'We're Versailles' In a word, the White House Correspondents Dinner is a grotesque display of "journalists" yukking it up and slapping the backs of those in power they are supposed to hold accountable. Just as grotesque is watching the same gilded media who protect Obama from his failed economy, celebrate their own corrupt one-percent selves as the poverty they willfully ignore explodes all around them. by John Nolte 26 Apr 2013
Mother Jones Worries About 'Inevitable Ugliness' After NYT Pigford Expose While the left likes to claim that it opposes government fraud and waste as much as the right, more honest outlets like Mother Jones admit that they simply don't care that much about blown taxpayer dollars, so long as there's good intent behind them. After the New York Times confirmed today that Andrew Breitbart's crusade against waste, fraud, and abuse in the Department of Agriculture's Pigford settlements was correct, Mother Jones justified such waste, fraud, and abuse anyway, at least in part. by Ben Shapiro 26 Apr 2013
EXCLUSIVE -- Source: Publisher 'Freaking' over 'Trolling' Gabriel Sherman's Delayed Ailes Book After Breitbart News reported on Monday that Gabriel Sherman, the author of a forthcoming screed against Roger Ailes and Fox News, had his book's publication date pushed back to January of 2014, two sources close to Sherman's project, as well as Pat Caddell, commented to Breitbart News about the possible reason for the delay. by Tony Lee 26 Apr 2013
Politico: 'Unfair Treatment' of Original Pigford Plaintiffs 'Personal Cause for Breitbart' Pigford was and still is a story of government corruption involving (among others) Barack Obama as both a U.S. senator and president. But anyone who spoke to Andrew about Pigford knows that it was the injustice directed at those who had been legitimately discriminated against that fueled his righteous crusade. by John Nolte 26 Apr 2013
Credit Where Due: New York Times Does 180 On Pigford Today, the New York Times ran a front page article that is the best, most in-depth coverage of the Pigford story by the mainstream media to date. Oh, how things have changed. by Lee Stranahan 26 Apr 2013
The Media Matters Frenzy to Discredit Breitbart's Pigford Investigation Friday morning, Breitbart's cause on behalf of those black farmers who had been legitimately discriminated against was fully vindicated on page A1 of the New York Times. Breitbart News' editor-in-chief has more on that here, but right now Media Matters is standing naked with egg all over their corrupt faces, and let us hope the rest of the media takes notice. by John Nolte 26 Apr 2013
Matthews Blames US Wars For Jihadi Terror "As long as Syrians are fighting Syrians, that's better than us fighting Syrians. If we don't stop killing Arabs on international television one of these days. It's all we do is kill Arabs on international television. I think that might have something to do with Jihad." by Larry O'Connor 26 Apr 2013
New York Times: Breitbart Was Right On Pigford For years Breitbart News, under the leadership of our founder Andrew Breitbart, went where no other media outlet would go. Breitbart investigated the Pigford Black Farmers' settlement, delving into the cronyism, corruption, and divisive racial politics surrounding the $1.2 billion payout to anyone who claimed they had "attempted to farm" but was in some way discriminated against by the US Dept. of Agriculture. by Larry O'Connor 26 Apr 2013
Kurtz Slams Fox News for Allowing Perino to Interview Bush Given the Kurtz Standard, does this take him out of the running for any interview involving former President Bill Clinton or future presidential candidate Hilary Clinton? Remember, Stephanopoulos single-handedly invented the birth control non-controversy lie during 2012's presidential campaign. That directly benefitted Hillary Clinton's political future since she is now able to run against a GOP challenger rather than an incumbent President Romney. Where is Kurtz' criticism? by Larry O'Connor 26 Apr 2013

Mother Jones: 'Right-Wing Extremism' Killed More Since 9/11 Than Islamic Terror On Wednesday, Mother Jones ran an article making a shocking claim: more Americans have been killed by conservative terrorists than by Islamic terrorists since September 11, 2001. "While America has been fixated on the threat of Islamic terrorism for more than a decade, all but a few domestic terror plots have failed," the article explained. "Between September 11, 2001, and the end of 2012, there were no successful bomb plots by jihadist terrorists in the United States …. [R]ight-wing extremists killed 29 people during those 11 years." by Ben Shapiro 25 Apr 2013

Jake Tapper's CNN Ratings On the Rise TV Newser reports that "The Lead with Jake Tapper" is "up +28% in total viewers and up +62% in the demo compared to the same period last year on CNN." The 4pm ET program now averages 689k total viewers and 209k in the 25-54 demo. We'll have to wait and see how things look after the news settles down, but this jump is still worthy of note. by John Nolte 25 Apr 2013
Morning Joe: He Was For The NRA Before He Was Against It In the months between the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting and the failed April 17 vote on Senate gun control, Joe Scarborough used his MSNBC program to push gun control and criticize the NRA at every turn in the road. But it wasn't always this way---Scarborough once praised the NRA with the same tenacity he now shows in criticizing it. by AWR Hawkins 25 Apr 2013
Buzzfeed Promotes Shepard Fairey's Anti-NRA Poster; Ignores Past Plagiarism What's remarkable about Buzzfeed's article is it neglects to inform its readers about one of the most important and relevant facts about Fairey: He very recently settled a plagiarism suit over his Obama "Hope" poster and pled guilty to contempt of court for "destroying documents and manufacturing evidence" during the plagiarism investigation. by Larry O'Connor 25 Apr 2013

CBS News Presidential Historian: Bush Library 'Revisionism of a Presidency' Presidential historian and CBS News commentator Douglas Brinkley gave an interview to Media Matters for America on the press attention being paid to the opening of the George W. Bush Presidential Library. Apparently willing to lend his credentials and authority to the left-wing website whose sole purpose is to bully and intimidate the media, Brinkley provided MMfA with just what they needed to preemptively admonish the press on any coverage of Bush that might not be totally negative. by Larry O'Connor 25 Apr 2013

Perino: Press Would Never Have Let Bush Get Away with Benghazi O'Connor: "Take Benghazi for an example, I mean, would president bush have gotten away with benghazi the way it seems president obama has?" Perino: "First of all, absolutely not. Secondly, I never ever would have allowed the pushing of the youtube video as the excuse for getting something completely wrong. and that was completely orchestrated by the white house. " by Larry O'Connor 25 Apr 2013
Washington Times Hires Chuck Woolery Woolery has become a bit of a cult hero in the past two years since he discovered YouTube as a way to use his dry, sardonic humor to deliver conservative, small government messages to the masses. His popularity inspired the creation of the Super PAC Restart Congress and has made him a popular figure at political conferences like CPAC. by Larry O'Connor 25 Apr 2013
Salon's Joan Walsh: Race-Baiting Sirota Was Right One week later, you'd think Sirota, Salon and those injecting racial politics into the Boston Marathon bombing would have been thoroughly discredited. Enter Salon's Joan Walsh. As a guest on MSNBC's "The Cycle" she was grilled by panelist SE Cupp about Sirota's troubling racial view on the terrorist attack, and Walsh not only defended him, but she proclaimed he was right. by Larry O'Connor 25 Apr 2013

CNN's King On Boston Bombing Coverage: 'We Were Wrong... It's Embarrassing' "I've covered a couple wars and a lot of breaking news and a lot of cops-and-robbers situations. I've got a pretty good track record, but when you do something like this it's embarrassing. Beyond being personally embarrassing, it's tough for your viewers, who you want to trust you. So the one thing you do have to do is look in the camera and say, 'We were wrong,' and try to explain why we were wrong." by Larry O'Connor 24 Apr 2013
Poynter Rips Politico's Over-Hyped New York Times 'Scoop' "Abramson is 'brusque.' Once she made someone change a photo on the homepage, and she wasn't nice about it. Her voice is unpleasant.

NPR Host: Constitution 'Like Tinkerbell...Only Alive As We Collectively Decide' "The Constitution is only as alive as we collectively have decided it is today," he said. "I've been calling it the Tinkerbell of national charters because Tinkerbell only lives if you clap, right? Or if you say, 'I do believe in fairies, I do!' It's like this: 'I do believe in civics, I do!' And everybody believes in it, and we move on. And it's an amazing phenomenon." by Larry O'Connor 24 Apr 2013
Jon Stewart Pummels Congress For Gutting Insider Trading Law Mainstream Media virtually ignored, but Tuesday night Jon Stewart seized the story and covered it in a more comprehensive way than cable or network news have.

Scarborough Becomes More Shrill as Support for Gun Control Fades In the wake of the media's failure to get gun control passed, no one has been more amusing to watch than MSNBC's Joe Scarborough.

Democrat Beckel Calls For Moratorium On Student Visas For Muslims "In the Muslim communities around the world, they do not like us, I think we really have to consider, given the fact that so many people hate us, that we're going to have to cut off Muslim students coming to this country for some period of time so that we can absorb what we've got, and look at what we've got, and decide whether some of the people here should be sent back home or to prison." by Larry O'Connor 23 Apr 2013

Shouting Match Erupts After Schumer Parrots Media On Immigration, Boston Bombing The effort in the media has begun to paint anyone voicing concern over the handling of the Boston terrorists within the ICE system as in some way "using the terror in Boston" as a means to slow "immigration reform," and Schumer tried to make it official. But, apparently, Sen. Grassley is having none of it. by Larry O'Connor 22 Apr 2013

More Media Excuses for Ignoring Gosnell Trial Liberal commentator Kirsten Powers is credited with shaming the national news media into covering the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell.

Barnicle: Bombing A Criminal Act Before Terrorism "It would be nice, although I realize it's impossible, to have people who are running for office, whether you're are running in South Carolina or anywhere else, to just sit back stop and think about this because at one level what happened here was a criminal act. They are murderers. Before you make the leap into terrorism, they are murderers. That's the first thing that people ought to be aware of, especially United States senators who want to inject themselves into this thing." by Larry O'Connor 22 Apr 2013

Anonymous Tribune Co. Reporters Rip Koch Bros.: 'Terrifying' Media writer Jim Romenesko is currently offering anonymity to Tribune Co. "journalists" willing to comment on the news.

Kelly Ayotte (R-NHY) and Rep. Peter King (R-NY,) but the Times made their editorial personal by focusing squarely at Graham in it's opening graph. by Larry O'Connor 22 Apr 2013
Koch Brothers Consider Purchase of Tribune Co. (Politico Hit Hardest) If the Kochs purchase eight major newspapers, Politico and Co. lose their main line of argument, because what the Kochs will be doing is exactly what the owners of Politico, the Washington Post and New York Times do -- using a media corporation to get a message out. by John Nolte 22 Apr 2013
New York Times Rips CNN's Boston Bombing Coverage "Still, when big news breaks, we instinctively look to CNN. We want CNN to be good, to be worthy of its moment.

It was a big scoop that turned out to be false." by Breitbart News 22 Apr 2013

Fox's Gutfeld Praises Andrew Breitbart's Brand of 'Citizen Journalism' "There was the Breitbart kind, which is kind of a relentless, but focused type of journalism where, okay, we know there is something there in Andrew Weiner's story that isn't true. We must stay on it; we must keep digging and digging until we find the truth. And do not let naysayers and liars get in the way. That was citizen journalism, and he got people involved in that, and he won." by Dr. Susan Berry 21 Apr 2013

The last charge you'd expect in an Arby's lawsuit is a claim for loss of consortium (i.e.; loss of sexual relations).
But that's what happened in a Monument, Colorado incident involving an Arby's urinal, reports NBC.
Kenneth DeJoie claims that he went to the restroom at the neighborhood Arby's when a jet of steam shot out of the urinals and into his genitals.
The steamed man then complained to an Arby's employee who allegedly responded "we have that bathroom problem again." The employee then supposedly explained that the urinal acts up when the kitchen sink was running, suggesting that the store had a known problem with its urinal.
In the Arby's lawsuit, DeJoie sued the roast beef restaurant chain for premises liability. Generally, businesses owe a duty to keep customers safe while shopping at their stores. This means that floors should not be slippery, precarious things should not be dangling from the ceiling, and a jet of hot steam should not hit your genitals while standing at an Arby's urinal.

Who can apply to remove a tree?
It is the responsibility of the owner of the tree to apply to Council to prune or remove a tree. Council will require the owner's endorsement of an application to remove a tree. The results of the application and any decision issued will be sent to the owner of the tree.
An application MUST be submitted for each property.

When is Council likely to give consent to remove a tree?
Council may consider granting consent to remove a tree where:
- A tree is considered by Council to be dying, dangerous or diseased
- A tree is causing or likely to cause substantial property damage to houses, buildings, etc
- A tree is substantially misshapen or causing substantial over-shadowing
Council will generally not give consent to remove a tree where:
- A tree is shedding leaves, dead wood, fruit or bark as this is considered a natural process
- A tree is causing minor damage to property such as a driveway
- The objective is to improve a view
- There are unsubstantiated fears about large trees
- A tree is causing blockage to pipes
- A tree is causing minor shading
How can you appeal against a Council decision on your application?
If you wish to appeal against Council's decision on a tree application you must do so in writing, by completing an application form for a first appeal of Council's determination (fees apply). The appeal application must include any fresh or additional information not initially included eg documentation of damage caused by a tree or a report on the condition of the tree from an appropriately qualified arborist, a building report from a structural engineer or a pest inspection report. The matter will be considered by a different suitably qualified Council staff member.
I'd like my neighbour to prune a tree on their property, what should I do?
Council has no power to compel a neighbour to prune or remove a tree, including recently planted trees. If you have a concern about a neighbour's tree, it is best to resolve the issue by having a friendly discussion with them. Most neighbours will be helpful and understanding.
You can prune an overhanging branch up to the branch junction nearest to the property boundary without Council consent; provided you don't prune the total foliage area of the tree by more than 10 percent; if the work can be performed without encroaching on your neighbour's property or climbing the tree. It's best to notify the neighbour before you prune the tree. Please ensure you prune the tree in accordance with AS4373-2007.
Council cannot arbitrate in disputes relating to neighbours and trees. Legal advice may need to be obtained in such disputes from a solicitor or the Community Justice Centre. The NSW Land and Environment Court has the power to settle tree disputes.
For more information about trees and neighbours, please visit lec.lawlink.nsw.gov.au.
How do I prune a tree?
General crown maintenance is the recommended method of pruning trees. Pruning is according to the growth habit of the tree. It does not reduce the volume of the crown and retains the structure and size of the tree. All pruning should conform to Australian Standard 'Pruning of Amenity Trees Australian Standard (AS4373-2007). This involves dead wooding, crown thinning which does not involve reshaping the tree, retaining the original height and width, pruning selected branches only, to ensure the tree is structurally sound and well-shaped. You should remember that indiscriminate lopping/pruning can be a danger to your safety and the health of a tree.
What are the penalties if I breach the Tree Preservation Order?
It is the responsibility of the property owner to comply with this order.
If you remove, damage, top or lop a tree or its roots or change the soil levels around the base of a tree, you may be issued with a penalty or a fine of up to $1.1 million if prosecuted in the Land and Environment Court or on the spot fines may be issued.
In addition, the court may direct you to plant new trees and vegetation and maintain them in a healthy state until mature, as well as providing a monetary security for the performance of this obligation. You may also be liable to a penalty for engaging a contractor to do the work on your behalf.

One Step Closer to an Inn at Hastings Park
Lexington ZBA OKs plans to redevelop a former convalescence home and adjacent property on Mass Ave into a hotel and restaurant, despite objections from some neighbors.
It was all ayes on plans to transform the Dana Home and an adjacent property into a "New England-style inn" to be known as the Inn at Hastings Park, which received approval last week from the Zoning Board of Appeals. In a meeting last Thursday, July 26, Lexington's ZBA approved a definitive site development plan (DSDUP), allowing certain new uses and site improvements and a special permit to allow an additional standing sign at the site. Those approvals all came over objections from some members of the neighborhood directly across the road from the properties at 2013 and 2027 Mass Ave, including a comment that some neighbors are even considering moving out of town.

SAG Award Winners Announced; THE HELP Wins Best Ensemble, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress
by Matt Goldberg Posted: January 29th, 2012 at 7:13 pm
The 2012 Screen Actors Guild Award winners were announced tonight, and The Help took home the top film prize, "Outstanding Performance By A Cast In A Motion Picture". The drama also took home awards for Best Actress (Viola Davis) and Best Supporting Actress (Octavia Spencer). If you think that's no big deal in terms of affecting the Oscar race, I have one word for you: Crash. Granted, The Help didn't even pick up an Oscar nomination for Best Director, but actors make up the largest block of Academy voters (25 percent). And as we've seen, actors really like movies that make us think we've defeated racism, which we totally have. That's why all African-American actors pull in huge salaries. Actors like Will Smith and…Will Smith. I wouldn't put The Help ahead of The Artist just yet, but Davis and Spencer should now be considered serious contenders in their respective catagories (Spencer is almost at a lock at this point).

Ryan Harrow, who has sat out Kentucky's last four men's basketball games, returned to practice Sunday and released a statement about his whereabouts through UK Athletics.
"I would like to thank my teammates, the UK coaching staff and administration along with the Big Blue Nation for their support over the last couple of weeks while I was out," Harrow's statement said. "I'm feeling much better and it felt really good to get back on the practice court with the guys today.
"Unfortunately, when I started feeling better, I had an issue to tend to with my family over the holiday break. Everything is good with that now and I'm excited about playing with my brothers again."
Harrow, a sophomore transfer from North Carolina State, played 10 minutes in Kentucky's season-opening win over Maryland on Nov. 9 but has not played since then. Coach John Calipari said Harrow was battling flu-like symptoms during the game against the Terrapins, in which he finished 0-for-4 shooting and did not score but had two assists and a block.
Harrow did not play in subsequent games against Duke and Lafayette as he underwent tests for the illness, which Calipari said was sapping Harrow of the energy to play and practice.
Harrow missed Wednesday's win over Morehead State and Friday's victory over LIU Brooklyn to go home to Marietta, Ga., and tend to a family issue, the team said.
Calipari said on CoachCal.com on Sunday that he was happy to see Harrow back at practice.
"Ryan went the whole way and looked good," Calipari said. "Best part was seeing the smile on his face."
Kentucky returns to the court Thursday night when it visits Notre Dame in the SEC/Big East Challenge.

While I'm thinking about Software as a Service (SaaS) today, how about WAN Performance Optimization for SaaS?
Some SaaS websites are well-designed for the Web and perform well over poor bandwidth and high latency, but others don't, or they require the upload/download of large files. For those situations, WAN performance optimization can make the difference between usable and useless. (See, for example, my blog entry "Be a Hero! Cut costs to Zero!" for a discussion of optimization.)
Indeed, if you've created performance indicators in your service level agreement (SLA) with the SaaS provider, they may be more than happy to work with you to install WAN performance optimization between their server sites and your users. (See my blog entry "SaaS network performance SLAs.")
So. How should you install WAN optimization? There are a few things to keep in mind as you discuss this with your SaaS provider.
First, if your SaaS provider wants to use a double-ended appliance system (i.e., an optimizer appliance at the SaaS server site and an optimizer appliance at your site), how are you going to configure the device and integrate it into your branch offices? What happens if you have more than one SaaS provider? Will there be a tall, tottering stack of WAN optimizers from different vendors, and a maze of Ethernet cables plugging everything together? If the "appliance" at the branch office is a software application, how will you load it into your branch office server, and will it conflict with other software?
Third, even if your SaaS provider doesn't want to install WAN optimization, you may still be able to improve performance with a branch office cache that will store commonly-downloaded files for use by all browsers in the office. Many branch office optimizers -- such as those that you might be using for communications with your central office -- can provide caches, as can Web traffic filtering devices, such as Blue Coat's ProxySG. Of course, there are also free caches, such as Squid; they can run on an inexpensive Unix or Windows box and make a big difference if you have a lot of users accessing the same set of Web files.

Comparing books to ebooks is like comparing mechanical watches to digital watches, or manual cars to automatic cars.

Ebooks are crazy-expensive at the moment, often much more than a physical book, and that's simply insane. Now it looks like that might change, after the European Commission stuck its oar in. Apple and four major publishers have settled their legal wranglings with the EC, meaning retailers should now be free to discount ebooks, just like they do paperbacks. Cheaper books for all, at last.

Today the Kindle turns five and it's come a long, long way in that past half-decade. In case you don't remember, in 2007 the first generation Kindle had a 800 x 600 screen, 250 MB internal memory, and was the only model to ever have a microSD slot. And it launched for the low, low price of $400. Despite the pricetag, the device was wildly popular, selling out in the first few hours, and remaining out of stock until April 2008. Read More >>

Accounting for gambling on your tax return
By: Mark Gruba
Updated: February 4, 2013
Coming on the heels of the Super Bowl, where many people put down a friendly wager or two, Murphy said gambling winnings, no matter how small, are fully taxable. She said that includes winnings from lotteries, casinos, raffles, races and poker, as well as prizes such as cars, houses, trips and other non-cash prizes.
Whether a person is an amateur or professional gambler, there are general rules associated with losses as well. Murphy noted losses can only be used to offset winnings from wagering transactions during the same year. In addition, losses cannot be used to reduce taxable income from non-gambling sources. Losses can only be claimed as itemized deductions unless the taxpayer is in the trrade or business of gambling.
Murphy also said the Internal Revenue Service will want to see evidence of losses.
New this year, the combined gambling losses of a husband and wife who file a joint return are allowed to the extend of their combined gains.
For more information, Murphy said people can consult IRS Publication 529, Miscellaneous Deductions or Publication 525, Taxable and Non-Taxable Income by clicking here.
