Residents Talk TSPLOST Projects
A public meeting on the proposed projects on the TSPLOST list was held Tuesday night.
Kennesaw resident William Fennelly says Cobb County needs a plan to have fewer vehicles on the road and provide faster travel to Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. A bus rapid transit system included in the proposed Transportation Investment Act doesn't accomplish that, Fennelly said.
Fennelly raised his concerns Tuesday night during a public meeting at the North Cobb Senior Center at Kennworth Park. The Enhanced Premium Transit Service, which Cobb County Department of Transportation Director Faye DiMassimo said will be akin to a light-rail vehicle on wheels, will transport residents in Acworth, Kennesaw and the Town Center Mall area to MARTA's Arts Center Station. At that point, riders can switch to MARTA transit to continue on to Atlanta and the airport.
"I don't believe that's a sufficient answer to the problem," Fennelly said. "We have millions of cars going into Atlanta every day."
Last week, Fennelly said it took him two-and-a-half hours to travel from Kennesaw to Hartsfield-Jackson. A bus wouldn't be any faster, he said.
"(The proposed system) is not going to solve the problem," Fennelly said. "(Rapid transit) doesn't exist. This is extremely frustrating. Just think of the jobs that could be created by having a system around I-285, up I-75 and up I-85.".
The meeting was set up as an information session for residents, who were able to ask questions after brief explanations of projects that would be funded if the 1-cent regional Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax is approved on July 31 by the majority of voters in the 10-county region that includes Cobb. The tax will be collected for either 10 years or until the expected $8.5 billion in revenues has been collected, whichever comes first.
"If it happens in less than 10 years, the tax stops," Kennesaw Mayor Mark Mathews said. "If we hit 10 years and it hasn't been collected, the tax stops."
The tax will pass if the majority of voters in the 10-county region approve it.
Projects are listed on either the 85 percent list, which were developed and approved by the Regional Roundtable; or the 15 percent list, which are local rather than regional projects. Each of Cobb County's four commissioners were allotted $34.69 million to give to projects in their districts. Additionally, the city of Acworth has a 15 percent list totaling $4.7 million, and the city of Kennesaw has a list totaling $5.77 million.
Of the revenues expected, $689 million is allotted for the proposed bus rapid transit system, which officials said will cover construction costs as well as 10 years of maintenance and operation.
One man said he thinks that means a permanent solution will include an increase in property taxes, at which point Acworth Mayor Tommy Allegood stopped him.
"I'm not allowed to express my opinion?" the man said.
"We're not going to debate," Allegood said. "We're just here to discuss the projects."
"OK, have it your way," the man said.
One woman, who declined to give her name, asked how long routes would take on the new bus and if it would be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
"If my flight is delayed until 3 a.m., would I be able to get home that night, or would I have to sleep in the airport?" she said.
DiMassimo said that travel times and hours of operation have not yet been determined.
"I don't think we'll be a 24/7 operation," she said. "Most are not."
Acworth resident Sarah Spicer said that, while she went into the meeting undecided as to how she will cast her vote in July, she left knowing on which side she will vote.
"It was informative," she said. "It answered my questions."

Open dialogue is what is needed to get this referendum passed. No one is going to agree 100% with the projects presented but the projects proposed solve pressing transportation issues in and around the city. Passage of this referendum is needed so that Atlanta and the state as a whole can continue to grow economically wise.

CHAPTER V. HENRY VIII (i), 1509-27 - EGO ET REX MEUS
During the winter, Wolsey - having no wish to plunge England into war - persuaded Maximilian (by means of a very able diplomatic agent, Richard Pace) to take up arms against Francis in Italy. As a rule, Maximilian took sides with any one whose gold he expected to divert into his own pocket; but Pace managed to keep the English subsidies, which were to pay the Swiss Mercenaries, out of the Emperor's hands; so the Emperor retired from the war in the spring. Early in this year, too, Ferdinand died, leaving Charles lord of all Spain as well as of the Netherlands. This left the young King to the guidance of advisers whose interests were mainly Flemish, and who were consequently anxious in the first place for the friendship of France. Hence in August the treaty of Noyon was contracted between Francis and Charles; in which the Emperor shortly afterwards joined when he found that England would not provide him with funds unless he earned them. Wolsey's real strength lay in the fact that neither Maximilian nor Charles could afford any serious expenditure without his financial support; Francis was waking up to the fact that as allies they were both broken reeds, though in active combination with Wolsey against him they would be dangerous; and as the year 1517 passed, the inclination for France and England to revert to amicable relations revived; becoming more marked in the following year when the birth of a dauphin suggested his betrothal to the little Princess Mary.
[1518-19 Wolsey's success]
During these two years, the reality of Wolsey's control of the situation was further demonstrated by his management of the Pope, who refused him the office of legate after having reluctantly made him Cardinal. Leo however, like other Princes, was in want of cash, and sent legates to the European Courts to raise funds under colour of a crusade: whereupon Henry declined to admit Cardinal Campeggio to England, on the ground that to receive a legate a latere was against the rule of the realm. Wolsey seized the opportunity to suggest that if he himself, being an English prelate, were placed on the same official footing as Campeggio, the objection might be withdrawn; and Leo had to agree.
In the result, an alliance was concluded with France under which the infants were betrothed, Tournai was restored to France. France was to pay 60,000 crowns and promise not to interfere in Scottish affairs to the detriment of England, and Wolsey was enabled to pose as the pacificator of Europe; the other Powers with more or less reluctance all finding themselves constrained to give their adherence to the new treaty of Universal Peace.
Thus when the year 1519 opened, Wolsey's policy was triumphant. France was bound to England; the young King of Spain wanted her friendship; Maximilian was still looking to her for money; and the Pope was obliged to applaud her for having usurped his official function as peacemaker. But in the days when war and peace and the movements of armies turned habitually on the personal predilections, quarrels, and amours of monarchs, the political atmosphere was liable to violent disturbances without warning. In January, 1519, Maximilian died suddenly; and his death in fact involved a complete rearrangement of ideas as to the positions of the Powers.
[Sidenote 1: 1519 Charles V.] [Sidenote 2: The Imperial election]
Ten years before, when Henry came to the throne, he was the only young man among the European sovereigns. The Emperor and the King of France were both more than middle-aged: so was the King of Aragon who was virtually King of Spain and the Sicilies. Before six years were out there was a youthful King of France; not much later, all Spain was under the dominion of a boy. These three Kings were now twenty-eight, twenty-four, and nineteen respectively, while the succession to the Empire lay with the Electoral Princes. Charles was an obvious candidate, since the Habsburgs had actually retained the office among themselves for three generations; yet the Electors were in no way bound to maintain the tradition. In ability and in character, one of their number was fit for the purple - Frederick of Saxony; but Saxony was only one among a number of German States, and Frederick himself had no mind to undertake the office. Thereupon ensued the somewhat curious spectacle of the French King entering the lists, he being the one possible rival of Charles. Of all the Continental Princes, these two alone were powerful enough to sustain the burden of the Empire: yet either of them, achieving it, would have his power dangerously expanded, and would become a serious menace to the Pope.

For a tranquil day, overnight, or weeklong beach camping adventure, consider hidden Playa las Brisas, a few miles by the dirt road (turnoff sign near Km 36) through the village of Arroyo Seco.
About two miles long, Playa las Brisas has two distinct sections: first comes a very broad, white sandy strand decorated by pink-blossomed verbena and pounded by wild open-ocean waves. For shady tent camping or RV parking, a regal coconut grove lines the beach. Before you set up, however, you should offer a little rent to the owner/caretaker, who may soon show up on a horse. Don't be alarmed by his machete; it's for husking and cutting fallen coconuts.
To see the other half of Playa las Brisas, continue along the road past the little beachside vacation home subdivision (with a seasonal store and snack bar). You will soon reach an open-ocean beach and headland, backed by a big, level, grassy dune, perfect for tent or RV camping. Take care not to get stuck in soft spots, however.
The headland borders the El Tecuán lagoon, part of the Rancho El Tecuán [1], whose hilltop hotel you can see on the far side of the lagoon. The lagoon is an unusually rich fish and wildlife habitat.
You can reach the village of Arroyo Seco, where stores can furnish supplies, 2.3 miles (3.7 km) from the highway at Km 36. At the central plaza, turn left, then immediately right at the Conasupo rural store, then left again, heading up the steep dirt road. In the valley on the other side, bear right at the fork at the mango grove, and within another mile you will be in the majestic beach-bordering palm grove.

Japanese Hatchery-based Stock Enhancement: |
Executive SummaryIntroductionThe decline of the Chesapeake Bay blue crab fishery over the past decade has catalyzed numerous debates throughout the region. Callinectes sapidus represents the most important Bay fishery, and in recent years the blue crab stock has hovered near the historical low-point recorded in 1968. Faced with this condition, in 1999 the governors and legislatures of Maryland and Virginia initiated a broad-based effort to establish new criteria for the Baywide management of this resource. Over the past two years, the Bi-State Blue Crab Advisory Committee (BBCAC) forged a unique partnership that linked scientists, managers and watermen in an effort that has led to the implementation of new harvest regulations designed to set thresholds to protect spawning stocks in the Bay. These precautionary thresholds and related regulations are strongly endorsed by the three authors. As the bi-state process developed, it became clear that there remained a number of key unknowns about this very complex organism and its fishery. Maryland Sea Grant, the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, and research entities have mobilized resources and rapid progress is being made towards improved science and management of blue crabs. In parallel to these research efforts, questions emerged regarding the potential to use hatcheries as a means of enhancing blue crab populations in Chesapeake Bay. Funding from the Maryland legislature and private industry was provided in 2000 to initiate a research program focused on rearing blue crabs in closed systems and on developing a better understanding of reproductive biology, growth and mass cultivation, as well as to provide a foundation for potential large-scale hatchery production of juvenile crabs. Discussions regarding the role and feasibility of hatcheries as a viable element in the management of Chesapeake Bay blue crabs very rapidly reached the stage of a heated and at times publicized debate within the academic community. One of the rationales for undertaking an effort to develop hatchery technology for C. sapidus was that hatchery rearing and enhancement had been successful for a similar species - the swimming crab, Portunus trituberculatus - in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan. While some information was available in the scientific literature, there was very little data upon which to judge the success or failure of the Japanese effort and perhaps more importantly to assess its implications for blue crab management in Chesapeake Bay. With this in mind, Maryland Sea Grant provided funding for three researchers to travel to Japan in the summer of 2001 to assess the crab hatchery program. While all three members of the team were engaged in some aspect of blue crab research, all had very different scientific backgrounds. Their contrasting expertise provided an opportunity to view the Japanese experience through very different lenses. The team was charged with the following tasks:
The research team returned with a tremendous amount of information. There was clear agreement on many issues and a shared interpretation of most of the Japanese data. That said, divergent interpretations and opinions were also apparent. As much as is possible, this report summarizes the team's findings, points of agreement and differing views. Findings and ConclusionsContext, Extent and Success of Crab Rearing in JapanAccording to the research team, fisheries enhancement efforts in Japan take place within the context of a highly modified coastal environment with severe degradation of important habitat for fisheries reproduction and recruitment. Consequently, controlled rearing of commercially important species has a long history and plays an important role in the coastal economy. Government investment in the infrastructure required to support this effort is extensive and occurs at both the national and prefectural (state) level. Japan's sea ranching effort is a capital-intensive operation that itself is integrated into a system designed to cultivate and release a wide range of marine species. The world leader in the development of artificial propagation methods for marine fishes and crustaceans, Japan's mass-production methods for Portunus trituberculatus extend back 30 years. A close linkage exists between the propagation and releases of P. trituberculatus and the fishing cooperatives that ultimately harvest them. The cooperatives have direct input into decisions regarding production levels and may provide support or actually operate small local crab hatcheries. In view of the service role that enhancement programs provide fishing cooperatives, the aim of the Japanese release programs is towards fishery enhancement ("put and grow") rather than enhancement of stock productivity. The Japanese have implemented rearing facilities capable of producing approximately 60 million C-1 instars (~5.0 mm carapace width) per year. Production facilities range from a large-scale, nationally supported facility (Tamano Station) capable of producing as many as 10 million C-1 instars/year to smaller scale, prefecture-based operations that produce on average about 3 million C-1 instars/year. It was clear that the investment in hatchery technology and long-term support for research has facilitated the development of an extensive knowledge base - much of which has been translated directly into practical applications for rearing and grow out. The science of crab cultivation and the associated knowledge of the reproductive biology of P. trituberculatus is very advanced in Japan. Implementation and ImpactsThe Japanese swimming crab stock enhancement program has evolved over its 30-year history. The early success of rearing technologies led to a concerted effort to release millions of C-1 instars into coastal ecosystems. While this strategy lasted for nearly 20 years, there was very little systematic collection of key data on the fate of released crabs. The discovery that survivorship of the C-1 instars was extremely low (<1%) led to a major modification of protocols and associated technologies. By the early 1990s, secondary rearing to the C-4 (~17 mm) stage prior to release was implemented by hatchery operators throughout Japan. Secondary rearing facilities achieved 12-61% survival of C-4 instars from C-1 instars. During the period 1991-1997, 28-42 million C-4 were released annually throughout Japan. This shift in strategies has been accompanied by a recognition of the need for a more concerted effort to evaluate the impacts of the enhancement program on fisheries. While data were not complete nor definitive for any of the local programs visited by the research team, three different case studies provide insights into the efficacy of hatchery enhancement in Japan. Hamana Lake. Hamana Lake, a small coastal lagoon with a single inlet to the sea, experienced a dramatic (10-fold) decline in swimming crab harvests in the mid 1980s; the decline was thought to be due in part to changes in the physical dynamics of the system that limited entry of larvae and juveniles from outside the lagoon. In addition, resort and residential development pressure, coastal modifications, and low flushing rates within the system may have resulted in an increased duration of hypoxic events. Efforts to stock the system with C-4 instars began shortly after the population crash and at present about 1.4 million juvenile crabs are released into the system each year. A mark-recapture study in 1998 and a more long-term cohort analysis conducted between 1992-1998 have provided information regarding the contribution of stocked crabs to local fisheries. The recapture rates in the fishery of released C-4 instars was estimated to range from 0.3-2.2% and suggests that the stocking efforts are responsible for an 18% contribution to the fishery as it stands now in Hamana Lake. Based upon analysis of long-term trends in the harvest data, the stocking effort does not appear to be enhancing the fishery as annual harvests remain near or below the levels found when the fishery experienced its large decline. Evidence may suggest that the effort has helped to sustain the level of the fishery following its collapse in this ecosystem. Osaka Bay. Osaka Bay is a heavily impacted, mid-sized ecosystem with profoundly modified shorelines and severe degradation of natural habitat. The crab fishery has seen large historical declines - most recently in the late 1970s - that are likely associated with habitat loss, and periods of degraded water quality. Enhancement efforts using C-3 - C-4 instars were implemented, and since the early 1990s approximately 0.7 million/year juvenile crabs have been released. Data for long-term trends in crab harvests in Osaka Bay suggest that the releases have not led to an enhancement in fisheries to historical levels prior to collapse in the fishery. Recently, extensive studies have provided details into the dispersal, growth and survivorship of released crabs. Juvenile crabs released into shallows showed limited dispersal over their first month at large, grew rapidly, and attained harvestable size within their first year of life. Employing these data, a fisheries model for Osaka Bay predicted a recapture rate of 31.3% for released crabs in 1990, with a concurrent contribution to 1990 landings of about 59%. This rate is sensitive to fishery model assumptions, but suggests that hatchery releases could be subsidizing to a substantial degree the severely depressed Osaka Bay fishery. Okayama Prefecture. Okayama Prefecture's segment of the Seto Inland Sea is the largest and most open of the systems examined and also supports the largest crab fishery (~2-10 fold greater). Early efforts focused upon the release of C-1 instars and there was an apparent increase in landings. However, Japanese scientists reported that this correlation was unexplained and attention since 1991 has been on the release of larger C-4 instars reared in coastal impoundments. Approximately 1 million juveniles are currently released per year. The Okayama fishery has experienced wide variations over the past 30 years and at present harvests are in a period of decline. Studies based upon cohort analysis suggest that the recapture rate for released crabs was 5.7%, with a concurrent contribution to the fishery of 9%. Recent studies suggest that most released crabs are retained within a fairly small area (5-20 km of release) over a period of two years, suggesting to some on the team that the geographical range or ambit of stocks of this species is restricted. The three facilities studied provide a number of key insights and there was general agreement among the group on several points. These include:
Implications for Chesapeake BayInterpretations of how Japanese experiences and data relate to the Chesapeake Bay differed among the scientists participating in this fact-finding mission. A point of agreement was that enhancement strategies should not be directed only at increasing fishery yields, but should be directed at enhancing reproductive potential of the Chesapeake Bay stock. As noted earlier, the lenses through which each viewed the issue led to a focus on specific aspects of the enhancement effort there. Two relatively distinct opinions and interpretations emerged. Central to these divergent views was the importance of localized populations in Chesapeake Bay relative to a unified Baywide stock of blue crabs. This divergence led to very different conclusions: One view holds that examination of the fisheries data for the three case studies suggests that P. trituberculatus has a limited dispersal and rapid growth rate, and accordingly is more amenable to efforts designed to sustain small-scale local fisheries through large localized releases, followed by intense exploitation. The case for Chesapeake Bay presents a different set of constraints based in great part upon the fact that C. sapidus has a very large seasonal and annual dispersal range and can be managed only as a single Baywide stock. Because the Chesapeake Bay's population of blue crabs is so much larger than the Japanese stocks, efforts to enhance the population - given the estimates of hatchery contributions to the fishery in Japan - would require such large numbers of juveniles that it would make the effort unfeasible on this scale. The other view holds that definitive data on the Japanese effort is only now emerging and, as such, provides a guide for ways to proceed in Chesapeake Bay. The importance of localized crab subpopulations has been underappreciated in the Bay, as has the use of protected areas to provide sanctuary for reproductive populations. Based upon the success of rearing technology in Japan, it is feasible to use hatchery-raised juveniles to enhance specific local populations or reproductive females in specific areas and, in conjunction with strong fisheries management, thereby achieve positive impacts on the fishery. |

Ovarian masses and tumors
Disease Information
"We developed a technique for removing ovarian masses, even very large ones, by which we can save the ovary."
Marc Laufer, MD, Chief, Division of Gynecology
Ovarian masses in infants, young girls and adolescents are enlargements of the ovaries—the organs that store and release eggs, and that produce female hormones. These masses may be cysts or tumors, and if they're tumors, they may be cancerous or benign (non-cancerous). Tumors and cysts can appear on one or both ovaries, individually or in clusters. Sometimes, ovarian cysts (fluid-filled sacs that usually dissolve after ovulation) cause pain, but most don't cause any problems and go away on their own.
- Ovarian tumors are the most common tumors that babies are born with, accounting for one percent of all malignant tumors found in children from birth to the time she's 17.
- In girls younger than 8, four out of five ovarian tumors are benign (non-cancerous). Your daughter may need to go to the Dana Farber Cancer Center for surgery, radiation or chemotherapy if the mass is cancerous.
- All cancer should be taken seriously, but in children and adolescents, ovarian cancer has a much higher cure rate than adult forms of ovarian cancer.
- Benign ovarian cysts may be cured by surgically removing or draining them, but new cysts may form in the future.
- At Children's, almost 100% of children's ovaries are saved when removing benign cysts or tumors.
How Boston Children's Hospital approaches ovarian masses
Helping girls and young women with ovarian masses is a specialty of ours, here at the Division of Gynecology here at Boston Children's Hospital. When a child has an ovarian mass, we know that it can be extremely worrisome, even if it's benign. We understand the diagnosis of an ovarian mass needs to be quick and accurate, and we provide the highest quality of diagnostic services and treatment.
The Division of Gynecology is home to the Center for Young Women's Health, an online resource for girls and young women with questions and concerns about gynecological issues, including ovarian tumors and cysts.
If your daughter is diagnosed with a cancerous ovarian tumor, she can receive treatment at the Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center. Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center combines the expertise of Boston Children's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to provide comprehensive medical and surgical care for girls with cancerous ovarian tumors.

Obviously, we all start a business with an assumption we`ll make money. But the businesses that go on to really have an impact, almost always begin when someone says, "Jeez...wouldn`t it be cool if...."
So what does that mean, cool?
We know it`s a colloquialism. It`s a substitute word, and likely won`t have a formal definition. That`s okay...what`s the "sense" of the definition?
Any definition has to make a reference to the overall set or group of concepts containing the word. It then should specifically point to the 1 unique thing that makes the word different.
What`s the overall class of stuff we`re referring to when we say something`s cool? Or "boss," "neat," "fabulous," "awesome," or "nifty?"
Keep in mind that a definition isn`t a "story about some thing that represents and example of cool." :-)
If we`re going to write The Entrepreneur`s Dictionary, what would we write under the entry: "Cool."
Cool (kool) - adj. -er, -est

F#@king Up Everything
nytheatre.com review by Maura Kelley
October 7, 2009
From the first heavy metal chord of this show's opening title song, "F#@king Up Everything," I thought, "this show deserves to be playing in a bigger theatre." The show has a lot going for it: a talented cast with strong voices, a rockin' band, and quirky exciting music and lyrics by David Eric Davis. The story rings quite similar to ones we've seen before.
The first act sets up the multiple love interests. A geeky, neurotic puppeteer named Christian (Noah Weisberg) is desperately in love with the beautiful, aspiring singer, song-writer Juliana (Kate Rockwell). Jake (Neil Haskell), the bad boy lead singer of the band and best friend to Christian, is also targeting Juliana. Christian's overly neurotic and constant self-deprecating attempts to woo Juliana are played so capably and comically that I found myself rooting for Jake, aptly played by Haskell as Juliana's better romantic option, at least in the beginning of the show. Ivy, a close friend of Juliana's, played by cute Jenna Coker-Jones, harbors a secret crush for Jake while remaining stuck in an unfulfilled relationship with Tony (Leif Huckman), bass guitarist and pot-smoking fiend. Jones and Huckman are both strong actors and Coker-Jones sings a heartfelt rendition of "If He Were Mine." But I have to admit when the first act ended I was surprised it was so short, disappointed it was over, and couldn't wait for more.
Some things I didn't find plausible. Christian seems to forgive his friend Jake too easily for hooking up with Juliana and then takes his advice on how to get a girl in "Guys Like Me." And no one ever seems the least bit worried when pothead Tony spends all of his days and nights stoned. As things toward the end of the show are tying up, you'd think by the title, F#@king up Everything, that the events might be a little more f#@ed up, outlandish, and crazy. I definitely thought there was room to go further. I did enjoy, however, that after Christian made a mistake there was a reprise of the "F#@king Up Everything" song.
I wished Rockwell got to finish her song, "Falling," because she was doing such a nice job with it and we were finally getting to see her. Rockwell seemed to be playing everything shy and safe which may have hurt the potential chemistry between her and Weisberg a bit.
A major highlight in the second act occurs when Broadway veteran Liz Larsen, who plays Arielle, the cougar and booking manager, devours the stage with her presence. The opening moment of "Arielle's Areolas" (which I'll leave to your imagination) is quite hysterically played by Weisberg and Haskell. But one of the biggest surprises of the evening is the dazzling and sexy drummer, John Rochette, who has a very small scene with the stoner, Tony. The tension and chemistry between the two of them for that page and a half of dialogue is genuine and the actors take their time with the comic moments. I would have loved to have seen the characters of Arielle and the unnamed drummer incorporated more into the show.
Overall, the show is quite enjoyable and charmingly performed by a talented cast. I truly hope it has legs to move to a bigger venue where it can loudly shine as a rock musical, with better sound which sometimes was a problem. Special mention goes to David Valentine for his ingenious puppets.

Media Comment: It's election time!
11/14/2012 22:42
The Internet plays an ever-increasing role in our life and certainly when it comes to election campaigns.
Guardian newspaper
Photo: Toya, Wikimedia Commons
Writing in the November 7
, Dan Gillmor had this opinion of the recent US presidential election: "America's top journalists have pretty much gotten out of [the] business [of holding candidates to account]... I've never seen a worse performance in a major political campaign. On issue after issue – again, with some important exceptions, many in the alternative or new media – the press simply couldn't be bothered to do its job."
He was especially critical of "Big Journalism's tendency to suck up to power, not confront it." His dislike for Mitt Romney and the Republican Party was more than apparent, nevertheless, he also noted that "Obama has largely been given a pass by news organizations on his own worst deeds."
For him, journalism's "decline overall is simply too stark to deny."
Observers more attuned to foreign policy issues saw the coverage of the Benghazi attack and Obama's refusal to term it terror as an instance, to quote one critic, when the media "suppressed evidence in order to help a Democratic president. Simply shameful, as was the media's disregard of any scandal or story that could have jeopardized the Obama reelection."
An uncritical press combined with media personnel prejudiced against one candidate can be deeply affect the chances of a candidate to get elected. We only need recall Barack Obama, referring to the love the press expressed for him, joking at the October 2009 White House correspondents' dinner, "Most of you covered me. All of you voted for me."
Here in Israel, we have entered our own election period and already foibles and insidious behavior are observed, a situation that demands close monitoring as well as vigorous civic action to call this behavior to account and stop it.
There are academic papers claiming that voter decision-making during election campaigns is not significantly affected by the media.
They base themselves on the assumption that especially during the campaign period, information abounds. Voters are able to update their thinking sufficiently frequently during the campaign period so as to make decisions which are largely independent of one bias or another. But academia aside – and as we all know, especially in the social sciences it is very difficult to "prove" such assertions – the fact remains that every candidate is always interested in favorable and broad media coverage.
There isn't one media adviser who suggests to his boss that the media may be ignored. We certainly know that the media has the ability to set an agenda. This sets a baseline for the voter who may then evaluate politicians based on how they dealt with the issue. The fact that one day after the elections the agenda turns out to be meaningless is irrelevant, setting the agenda has done its electoral job.
To prevent such situations from developing, reporters have a duty to be "careful not to get co-opted," as America's National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor once stated.
A clear example of agenda setting issues is polls. Professor Amiram Goldblum, a radical left-wing activist, initiated a biased poll to show that Israelis are proapartheid.
and fellow extremist Gideon Levy publicized this broadly. It was immediately picked up worldwide. The fact that a few days later, all involved were forced to admit that the conclusions drawn from the poll were in fact baseless and false could not undo the damage. Israel was falsely colored as a racist, apartheid state, backed by supposed "evidence" from an Israeli newspaper.
Perhaps with this in mind, public opinion pollsters were warned by the Knesset's Central Election Commission to follow legislated guidelines or face punishment, in some cases of up to six months in jail or a fine of up to NIS 29,000.
Poll results must be communicated to the Committee with detailed information on who commissioned the poll, how it was conducted and how the results were analyzed. Two days before election day, public opinion polls are no longer allowed to be published at all. It is a fact, that pollsters, like any normal human being, do not like to be the bearers of bad news.
A poll commissioned by Meretz to see whether it passes the minimum quota needed to be elected might lead to conclusions which are quite different from one commissioned by an extreme right-wing party. People considering voting for small parties are affected by such results, as certainly some of them do not want to see their vote wasted.
Not less important are the various appearances and interviews given to candidates. For example, Eldad Yaniv, who heads a new party called "A New Country," was given a prime-time seven-minute interview on Channel 2 News, on November 5.
Seven minutes on TV is the length of time allotted by law by the Central Elections Committee to any new party. The interview was not a "tough" one. Questions dealing with Mr. Yaniv's political failures in the past (he was a strong supporter of the disengagement from Gaza) were just not tabled.
His not exactly successful efforts to create a new national left-wing agenda, including the publication of a radical manifesto with controversial and some would say defeatist content, were ignored.
His financial links and related heavy involvement with the recent social protest campaign were not investigated nor discussed.
He was allowed to come across as a penitent or a Robin Hood, with interviewer Tzion Nanus's virtual wide-eyed identification.
One could characterize the interview as flattering of, if not fawning on, Mr. Yaniv. No other politician, so far, from across the spectrum, has received such gracious treatment.
As is obvious from the election campaign in the US, political debates are not only captivating, but impress the voter. President Obama could not afford to refuse presidential debates. Candidate Netanyahu, in the previous election, did not enter any public debate. Will the press allow Netanyahu to get away with this? Doesn't the voter deserve to be able to judge directly the values and performance of the various candidates from the candidates themselves rather than being filtered through political commercials?
The Internet, the truly free media communications network, plays an ever-increasing role in our life and certainly when it comes to election campaigns. The social media outlets, from Facebook to Twitter and beyond, are a whole new world. Yet the mainstream media still dominates our sources of information. It is not enough to say that the media should provide us with a fair campaign.
We, as citizens, should do all that we can to impress upon the media that it must be fair and, if not, that we will punish media outlets who do not obey the accepted ethical guidelines. This is, at the end of the day, to assure not only their accountability but more importantly, to protect our democratic system.

Although NYC-based English photographer Shane Gray's photographs, which we recently spotted over at Booooooom, are shot in broad daylight and without special effects, there's something magical, often almost surreal about the scenes he captures. "Through the lens," Gray writes, "I continue to witness our changing world amidst the enlightening, bland and random across the gamut of our existence with a continuing fascination fo the human predicament and different environs." Sure, but he also has a knack for color and, it seems, a habit of being in the right place at the right time, which always helps. Click through to see a few of our favorite snaps from Gray's New York photographs, and then be sure to head over to his website to check out a vast wealth of his work. … Read More

Chip Simone's Amazing Street Photography
A street photographer since the mid-'60s, Chip Simone studied at the Rhode Island School of Design with Modernist-master Harry Callahan and shot classic black-and-white pictures for years before jumping on the digital train in 2000. Since turning to faster cameras and color imagery, Simone has built an impressive body of work, which he makes by walking and cycling through cities up and down the East Coast. Collected by major museums, as well as Elton John, who's a connoisseur of the medium, Simone has an eye for the uncanny and a keen awareness of how photography can magically parallel painting and sculpture. With a decade of work currently on view at New York's Steven Kasher Gallery and a recent monograph and museum survey under his belt, Simone is definitely one to watch — especially after so many years of pounding the streets. Click through a selection of our favorite images. … Read More
An Evolution of Street Photography Featuring the Genre's Biggest Names
We're big fans of street photography around here, which is why we're excited that The National Gallery will be presenting a related exhibition featuring images from some of the genre's biggest names. Walker Evans, Harry Callahan, and Bruce Davidson are just a few of the artists who will be featured in I Spy: Photography and the Theater of the Street, 1938–2010. The National Gallery was kind enough to preview some of the work featured in the show with us, which you'll be able to see in person when the exhibit opens on April 22 (running through August 5). Past the break, we've shared several of Evans' subway photos, which prove that the dour expression commuters often wear has been around since the 1930s. Callahan's extreme close-ups of people out and about capture a curious sense of urban malaise, and Davidson's cast of characters is highly entertaining. Click through for a closer look, and visit the National Gallery's website for more information. … Read More
Ansel Adams' Street Photography of 1940s Los Angeles
Ansel Adams was famous for his signature series of landscapes, spindling trees, ominous clouds and cliffs, but he also had bills to pay. He had clients. He had assignments. In the '40s, Fortune Magazine sent him to document Los Angeles' aviation industry. He shot workers at a steel plant, but also dawdled around LA a bit, snapping oil rigs and boulevards and friends at bowling tournaments, friends at bars, friends staring off at the Santa Monica coastline. He ultimately decided that "none of the pictures were very good," and donated the photos to the Los Angeles Public Library. Are they? Ansel Adams Los Angeles exhibit goes on view at LA's drkrm Gallery on February 18th, but you can take a look at the loot right here, in our gallery, and judge for yourself.

Jamel Shabazz's Street Snaps of '80s Brooklyn
Long before it was figuring into the plotlines of popular shows like Gossip Girl or luring in fresh-faced transplants with false promises of spacious lofts filled with likeminded creative types, Brooklyn was synonymous with the idea of hip-hop style. In Jamel Shabazz's Back in the Days: Remix, a recently-released expanded edition of the noted photographer's 2001 book, he theatrically documents the fashion that dominated early days of the scene — from the door-knocker earrings and Cazal glasses to the short shorts and oversized boomboxes.
"He did with pictures what rappers did with words," hip-hop historian Bill Adler has explained. "He made these folks visible the way rap made them audible. He took everyday people and turned them into icons. Nobody told him to do this. He just went out and struck gold."
For Shabazz, however, the motivation behind the images was much simpler. "It started for fun, but progressed into making people feel good about themselves," he told The New York Times. "I'd approach them and say 'Excuse me, brother. My name is Jamel Shabazz and I'm a photographer. When I see you, I see greatness. I see the future.'" Click through to travel back in time with a selection of images from Shabazz's fantastic collection, and visit his website for more information on the book and his other work. … Read More
Adde Adesokan's Fascinating Triptychs of Strangers
Can snapping close-up photos of a subject's head, hands, and feet reveal more about who they are than a traditional portrait? The idea might seem counterintuitive, but that's what we're pondering after looking at the work in Adde Adesokan's ongoing street photography series, Triptychs of Strangers, which we spotted thanks to Photojojo!. When viewed on their own, each of the frames is chock full of details but lacking in context; taken as a whole, the composite result is pretty illuminating, boiling a person down to his or her most essential parts.

Gallery: Striking Los Angeles Street Photography
"Like one punch in the face after another," says an LA Times writer of Shawn Nee's work. Most people I know have had a similar introduction to "the discarted collection" — trolling through Flickr, when suddenly… wait. Wow. Is that Superman and Hulk smoking up in a parked car? Is this mangled-bearded man real? From opposing protestors caught facing off in the Hollywood streets to portraits in the tent cities of the homeless, photographer and photography rights activist Shawn Nee captures defining moments and defining characters, shooting strictly in film with a Canon EOS 3. There is absolutely nothing exploitative about his work.
"For me, taking pictures is not about chasing that one great image," he says.

Early Color Street Photographs by Fred Herzog
Thanks to "New Colour" luminaries like William Eggleston and Stephen Shore, it's hard to imagine that there was once a time when color photography was sneered at in the art world. In those early days of the medium, Fred Herzog, whose work we spotted over on … Read More
Amazing Composite Street Photographs of New York City
For every one of his fantastic shots, photographer Peter Funch stakes out a busy New York City street corner, capturing hundreds of moments over the course of several weeks from the same spot. Then, he digitally combines real scenes into one surreal super scene. Suddenly, all the people who passed him while dressed in black re-appear simultaneously. Every single person in Times Square is a picture-snapping tourist. Everyone on a Lower East Side street has a little dog. Everyone is yawning. Everyone has balloons. The happenings in his "fictional documentary" series Babel Tales aren't lies, they're truths exaggerated. Enjoy the views in our gallery. … Read More
Daily Dose Pick: Vivian Maier
Documenting the fascinating discovery of an unknown street photographer, a website devoted to Vivian Maier provides a glimpse into the work of a prolific shutterbug.
A nanny in Chicago — she once watched over Phil Donahue's children — Maier had a hidden talent: she was a keen observer of people and a brilliant photographer. Real estate agent John Maloof brought her work to light when he discovered thousands of her prints, negatives, and undeveloped rolls of film at auction in 2009, and has slowly been sharing the treasure trove online. … Read More

Here is an article with the text of the letter to be read out in RC churches on Sunday and a video of one of the RC Archbishops reading it out.
It's amazing how this debate over gay marriage is bringing out so much homophobia across the media. Our lives are being discussed as though we were a political football being kicked backwards and forwards between our supporters and detractors. Every possible homophobic attitude- most nothing whatsoever to do with gay marriage are being bandied across newspapers and tv discussion shows.
When Catholics were allowed to re-establish dioceses in Britain in the 19th Century there were anti-popery riots.
Some Catholics seem to forget the implications of popular attitudes for minorities.
Let's see: intelligent, sane people supporting reality and not the illusions of religion. Dare I say, Thank God!
It's about time the consultation was published!!!!!!!!
It's now March 10th. We've had delays in the past and I wll be really pissed off if we get another one.
Many people , unaffected by gay marriage , won't even respond to the consultation so just having a stats figure asking who approved of it will be meaningless.
We all know the Catholic church for instance and the other orgs like CI etc are well organised in getting their followers to reply to these things and basically the stats figures will only show their views only.
The Telegraph are a bit desperate too:
Off-topic, with apologies.
I'm in the US. What does the term "consultation" mean in British government? (I'm not sure we have an equivalent here.)
I'm just a yankee, too, but it can be Googled.
"When government departments change or make policy they listen to your views via a consultation. You can read the consultation paper about what government wants to do or change and then send your thoughts back."
But, I don't know what department has this particular consultation.
Check out… http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Governmentcitizensandrights/UKgovernment/PublicConsultations/DG_170463
It appears to be similar to a US Congressional Committee hearing, but much less informal with the public being involved. In the US, the public is rarely invited to see what their Congressman are doing, much less have an opinion… unless you donate more than $1 Million to their election campaign. In the US, citizens are intentionally left in the dark, you have to wait years for anything to get passed, any leaked info is twisted by the media. Once it is passed, then you spend the next 10 years fighting to get it repealed.
It means you ask people what they think, but you still go and do whatever you were planning to do anyway, regardless of the outcome of the consultation.
Two examples: The former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone consulted about a western extension of the Congestion Charging area (where vehicles have to pay a daily charge to drive in the area). There was widespread opposition (about 80% IIRC) but he still went ahead regardless. He was thrown out by the electors and the new Mayor scrapped the extension. However, the C-Charge in Central London is now $16 per day (parking extra).
Similarly, Westminster City Council 'consulted' about charging up to £4.80 per hour to park on the street between 6pm and midnight during the week. However, they'd already made their minds up and spent £200,000 on signage even before the so-called 'consultation' had ended. Fortunately there was a massive outcry and the leader was forced to resign and abandon the policy.
Good examples of when consultations were made and then the initial plans were unaltered … and there are many more …
However, there are some great examples of where consultations have led to a change eg forestry sale, dsicounts on prison sentencing, removing plans to remove duties on social care from local authorities etc ..
"It's all fine and you even get a burial at a cathedral, with all the blessing of the Church, if you don't say you're gay"
Interesting angle in the New Statesman opposing the Catholic church:
"With national attention focused on marriage equality and religious opposition, we risk empowering a new queer fascism; and with social inequalities widening at their current rate, that is a truly frightening prospect."
I've seen no evidence for that in the 10 countries where same-sex marriage is legal. It's nothing more than posturing
Also fantastic piece by Chris Bryant in The Independent:
Sounds like that Italian religion needs to be put in its place by British politicians. Our laws are not decided by vatican city.
I finally read the article in the Tablet. I think the PN article is misleading. The tablet offers 3 points of view, but stops short of openly endorsing equality in any of them. I can't see anything about expecting the government to bow to "public pressure" . The link is given by Tony D above. Unless there's another article?
Have a listen to this deluded fool from the Catholic Herald.
Yet again the Church shows itself up as the nasty, vile people they are that clearly have no relevence in a 21st Century society.
The government has already said no religion will be forced to perform wedding of a same sex couple so that really should be the end of it as far as religion goes.
This is the church holding a mouthpiece to be nasty and totally irresponsible by showing how out of date they are.
Nothing can be wrong with 2 people committed to be together and I find these few extremist show up those who truely feel humanity has progressed.
This is all about the church loosing control over society, nothing more nothing less. What else can it be. Those complaining are unlikely to marry someone of the same sex so how exactly does it affect them.
Ridiculous and pathetic.
Jock, just ignore the sad little troll. Every comment he gets in reply feeds him. Just laugh at him and ignore. That's what clowns are for. And keith is deffo the biggest clown I've ever read on this website.
Can everybody please ignore and not respond to the poster Poo etc. It is just promoting his mental illness and I am asking everyone to adopt a policy of ignoring individuals who are homophobic and have religous mania such as Poo and Keith etc. It's a bit like putting a very distruptive child on the naughty step and ignoring them until they learn to behave. So Poo etc on the naughty step / chair and let's now ignore them?
Wikipedia states: "According to the Central Statistical Office of the Church, Great Britain has a population of 59,381,000 of whom 5,264,000 (8.87%) are Catholics" – wtf?
Both the roman and C of E cults pulled this crap during the CP consultation. Mind you, the final vote in Parliament and in the House of Lords didn't exactly yield a landslide in favour of CPs. I daresay, we'll see a similar result when marriage equality comes to a vote. Hopefully, I'm pleasantly surprised with an ever wider margin in favour. More Tory MPs are evolving as well as Labour.
To show how reliable wikipedia is, it also states here:
That the Catholic population of the UK is 8,461,803 or 14% of the population WTF!
The UK Census is 2001 gave the population (this is people declaring themselves as RC – not necessarily those who attend church) as 4.2million in England & Wales or 8.1% of the population according to Dr Gareth Leyshons paper "Catholic Statistics Priest and Population 1841-2001″ for St Johns Seminary, Guildford.
A Catholic website (http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/country/scgb1.html) gives the figure as 4912932.
In a 2006 Tear Fund survey they found that 7.6million people (15% of population) attend church at least once per month (but this included ALL denominations. They also found that the proportion of people who attend church saying their church is
declining in numbers was greatest among Church of Scotland/Presbyterian (26%), Methodist (23%) and Roman Catholic (22%). These figures …
… make the UK the fourth least church going country in Europe.
Its clear these statistics vary (and wikipedia has various figures).
What is clear is that even Christian groups such as Tear Fund find that RC and other established denominations are dimishing.
Exactly Stu and Wikipedia is the least reliable source when it comes to accuracy. Even so, the percentage of Catholics combined, be they, practicing or lapsed in the UK isn't that large and the CoE numbers are on the decline, both practicing and non practicing alike. Both denominations are in the minority in terms of the numbers who worship regularly or occasionally. I also fail to see why they should be allowed to have a say in what is purely and strictly a civil matter that has no direct impact on them. It may offend their beliefs but really, is that really going to affect how they live their lives, how the worship, how they marry? Of course not! I would like them to provide the factual evidence to support their ridiculous claims. Have they contacted the governments of 10 countries where same-sex marriage is legal? If so, where is their evidence that those societies have been negatively affected and can they produce examples? The answer is a resounding NO.
Isn't the duty of government to represent the people and protect minorities?
Surely by representing the people they would do what the people wish – which by almost every measure and survey and evidence is … the people want marriage to be fair …
Surely by ensuring civil marriage is fair and equal – the government protect liberties and minorities …
So bowing to public pressure …. if thats what it is … would be the right thing to do …
I though human rights were good things. Strange the church leaders dont seem to like human rights.
According to this link the independent I think is saying they have seen a leaked copy of the consultation which they say is coming out next week.
Thanks heavens , an article from a "normal" Catholic (Peter Watt – former GS of Labour Party)
"And yet this Sunday we Catholics will listen to a plea from the pulpit to oppose gay marriage. Well this Catholic family will listen but will continue in fact to support gay marriage. And I suspect that we will not be alone…"
