Off The Rails: The Year In Fox News Misinformation
December 21, 2010 10:09 am ET
As the year comes to a close, Media Matters offers a month-by-month look back at Fox News' most outrageous and factually challenged moments of 2010.
Hume Counsels Tiger Woods To Ditch Buddhism To "Make A Total Recovery." On the January 3 edition of Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume commented on the scandal surrounding golfer Tiger Woods: "He is said to be a Buddhist. I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption offered by the Chnristian faith. So my message to Tiger would be, 'Tiger, turn your faith -- turn to the Christian faith, and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.' " Hume's attack on Buddhism was criticized by religious leaders, but endorsed by Hume's Fox News colleagues Tucker Carlson and Fred Barnes. Hume stood by his comments despite the criticism.
Fox Hires Palin As A Contributor. On January 11, The New York Times reported that Fox News had hired former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as a contributor who "would appear on the network's programming on a regular basis as part of a multiyear deal." Her well-established record of pushing falsehoods notwithstanding, Palin said that she would provide "the fair and the balanced reporting and analysis that voters in this country deserve." One of her first Fox News appearances was an hour-long interview with Glenn Beck on January 13 in which the two misled on the Federal Reserve, and Beck read to Palin from his diary.
Fox Campaigns For Scott Brown. In the run-up to the January 19 special Senate election in Massachusetts, Fox News hosted Republican candidate Scott Brown several times for softball interviews and provided a forum for Brown to raise funds. Fox News personalities like Dick Morris made explicit appeals on Brown's behalf, telling viewers to "please, please help" Brown. Stuart Varney claimed that "your 401(k) could do well" in response to a Brown victory, and Bret Baier compared Brown's candidacy to the "Miracle on Ice."
Fox Campaign Season Heats Up. Following Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts, Fox began promoting more Republican Senate candidates, like Illinois' Mark Kirk and Florida's Marco Rubio. Several Fox News personalitieslikened Kirk to Brown; Fox repeatedly aired a National Republican Senatorial Committee attack ad on Kirk's Democratic opponent, Alexi Giannoulias; and the network gave Kirk a platform to attack Giannoulias. Fox alsoheavily promoted "political star" Rubio, reporting extensively on his fundraising appeals and speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference. On the February 1 edition of Hannity, Dick Morris solicited GOP candidatesfor Senate, which precipitated Republican Ron Johnson's campaign in Wisconsin.
Fearmongering Over Health Care Reconciliation. Reacting to reports that Senate Democrats were considering using the budget reconciliation process to pass the health care reform bill and circumvent a Republican filibuster, Fox News adopted the GOP framing of reconciliation as a violation of Senate rules, undemocratic, and contrary to thewill of the people. Fox also falsely characterized reconciliation as the "nuclear option" to wrongly accuse Democrats of hypocrisy.
Open Activism Against Health Care Reform. As the health care reform bill moved toward passage, Fox News' opinion and news personalities engaged in open opposition to the bill. Fox news anchors agreed that the bill was unconstitutional and said they would vote against it, while the network's opinion-makers lobbied for the bill's defeat. Commentators like Dick Morris, Glenn Beck, and Mike Huckabee encouraged viewers to contact members of Congress and urge them to oppose the bill, and the network helped to publicize anti-health reform rallies.
Fearmongering was rampant as Fox News compared the bill to a tumor and a nuclear weapon. Fox News also pushed misinformation and falsehoods about health care reform, falsely claiming the bill provided increased federal funding for abortion, promoting a non-scientific "survey" of doctors claiming they would leave medicine if reform passed, accusing Democrats of making "special deals" and offering "bribes" to ensure passage, andattacking the Congressional Budget Office's scoring of the bill.
Glenn Beck's Fiascoes Multiply. Beck devoted his entire March 9 program to an interview with former Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) after Massa claimed -- without any evidence -- that the Democrats had forced him out of the House because he refused to vote for health care reform. The hour-long interview did not produce any evidence of Democratic wrongdoing -- instead, Massa acknowledged that he resigned under allegations of sexual harassment. Beck concluded the program by apologizing to his viewers: "I have wasted an hour of your time."
Later in the month, Beck went on a tirade against Democratic leaders, like Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), who "wanted to compare themselves to the civil rights activists" as they walked arm-in-arm to the House health care vote. Beck screamed at them: "How dare you!" Lewis is, of course, an icon of the civil rights movement who marched, arm-in-arm, with a group including Martin Luther King Jr. at the Selma Civil Rights March.
Hannity's Tea Party Appearance Canceled. Of the many Fox News personalities appearing at tea party events coinciding with Tax Day, Sean Hannity drew additional scrutiny for the fact that he was set to tape an episode of his Fox News program at an April 15 Cincinnati Tea Party event and charge audience members for tickets, with proceeds going to the tea party group. Hannity's plan was criticized by veteran journalists as crossing ethical lines, and reportedly "furious" Fox News executives yanked Hannity from the event at the last minute. Earlier in the month, Rupert Murdoch, chairman of Fox News parent company News Corp., said that Fox News "shouldn't be supporting the Tea Party."
O'Reilly's Fox News Defense Fails Spectacularly. Responding to Sen. Tom Coburn's (R-OK) suggestion that Fox News perpetuated the falsehood that individuals without health insurance can be sent to prison under the new health care reform legislation, Bill O'Reilly said on April 13: "[W]e researched to find out if anybody had ever said you are going to jail if you don't buy health insurance. Nobody has ever said it. What it seems to me is you used Fox News as a whipping boy when we didn't qualify there." In fact, that very falsehood had been repeated countless times across Fox News' many platforms, including on O'Reilly's own show.
Dick Morris Invents, And Then Retracts, Clinton-Reno-Waco Story. On the April 19 edition of Hannity, Dick Morris claimed that Bill Clinton had told him that he had retained Janet Reno as attorney general because she threatened to "tell the truth about Waco." Morris explained that this story "had never been said before." The next day, Rush Limbaugh picked up Morris' story, claiming that "Reno's appointment to a second term as attorney general was to keep her quiet about the Waco invasion." One day later, Morris appeared on Fox & Friends to walk back the false story, claiming to separate "the facts" from his "conjecture based on the facts."
John Stossel Calls For Repeal Of Civil Rights Legislation. Echoing comments made by Senate candidate Rand Paul (R-KY), Fox News' John Stossel argued against the public accommodations section of the Civil Rights Act, which ended lunch-counter discrimination, saying that "private businesses ought to get to discriminate." According to Stossel: "I would go further than [Paul] was willing to go ... and say it's time now to repeal that part of the law." Stossel repeated his argument several times throughout the month, while Fox News' media criticism and news programs steadfastly ignored the controversy surrounding Stossel's comments.
Crusading Against Justice Kagan. Not long after President Obama nominated Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, Fox News began their assault on Kagan, dredging up a 30-year-old college quote to claim she has "written derisively about conservatives." From there, the attacks grew only more strident, with Sean Hannity leading the charge, suggesting Kagan was "just another radical," lying about Kagan's experience and suggesting she's a socialist, and falsely claiming she "kick[ed] military recruiters off of campus" at Harvard.
Calling For Impeachment Over Sestak Non-Scandal. Reacting to news reports that the White House had offered Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) an unpaid position on a presidential panel if he chose not to seek the Democratic nomination for Senate in Pennsylvania, Fox News personalities falsely claimed that the White House had broken the law and "bribed" Sestak. Even though legal experts across the ideological spectrum rejected such claims, Fox News commentators suggested that the White House committed a "crime" that rose to the level of an "impeachable offense."
Giving Land Back To Mexico. On June 15, Fox News reported that a "massive stretch of Arizona [is] now off limits to Americans. Critics say the administration is, in effect, giving a major strip of the Southwest back to Mexico." The next day, Fox Nation reported: "Obama Gives Back Major Strip of AZ to Mexico." The claim was completely false -- the strip of land in question is part of a national wildlife refuge that, according to refuge officials, was closed to the public in 2006 -- two years before Obama was elected -- and is still very much under the control of the U.S. Border Patrol. Even after the story was debunked, Fox News continued to mislead, reporting that the land had been "quietly surrendered" to "Mexican drug gangs and illegals."
Standing Up For BP. As the Gulf oil spill grew worse, Fox News led the conservative media in defending BP, attacking the Obama administration for "demonizing" the company. Many of the attacks were centered on a $20 billion escrow account BP set up, at the urging of the White House, to pay damage claims from Gulf residents. Monica Crowley attacked Obama for "continuing to villainize" the oil company. On Hannity, Newt Gingrich claimedObama was "directly engaged in extorting money" from BP. Stuart Varney called the account a "political slush fund" that was "Hugo Chavez-like."
Fox Hypes Phony New Black Panthers Scandal. A Media Matters report found that in more than 100 instances between June 30 and July 17, Fox News hyped the manufactured scandal that President Obama's Justice Department engaged in racially charged "corruption" in the New Black Panther Party case. The phony allegations, made by GOP activist J. Christian Adams, were largely promoted by America Live anchor Megyn Kelly and, following a familiar pattern, were picked up by non-Fox media outlets. Still, numerous media and political figures, including Fox News contributors and Republicans, have dismissed the phony scandal.
Fox Assists Breitbart's Smears of Shirley Sherrod As Racist. On July 19, Andrew Breitbart posted a deceptively edited clip of then-USDA official Shirley Sherrod and accused her of racism. Following Breitbart's post, FoxNews.comran an article headlined "Video Shows USDA Official Saying She Didn't Give 'Full Force' of Help to White Farmer," before the USDA announced Sherrod's resignation on July 19. Following her resignation, Fox News programs amplified attacks against Sherrod. Fox News Senior Vice President Michael Clemente later admitted that a "breakdown" allowed FoxNews.com to run the story about Sherrod's comments. Prior to Clemente's admission, however, Fox aggressively claimed it did not cover the story prior to her resignation.
Fox Provides Megaphone To Park51 Opponents. A Media Matters review of Fox News' evening coverage of the planned Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero found that between May and August 13, the shows hosted at least 47 guests to discuss the project, nearly 75 percent of whom opposed the center. Over the summer, Fox News routinely used anti-Muslim rhetoric and dubious arguments to attack the proposed center.
8-28 "Restoring Honor": Glenn Beck Honors Glenn Beck. On August 28, Glenn Beck hosted his heavily promoted "Restoring Honor" weekend in Washington, D.C. Beck's event was focused on one thing: Glenn Beck. Beck introduced a Beck-sanctioned clergy group that he claimed represented "180 million people," comicallyassociated himself with Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement, made outlandish claims about the impact of the events, and was praised as "one of America's most trusted and honored citizens." Beck's "non-political" rally was also steeped in politics.
Glenn Beck And Fox News' Anti-Semitism Problem. Following a pattern, Glenn Beck promoted a book by Eustace Mullins, who has been described as an "anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist" and a "nationally known white supremacist"; the ADL called the book "a re-hash of Mullins' anti-Semitic theories about the origins of the Federal Reserve." In October and November, Beck repeatedly attacked financier and philanthropist George Soros with anti-Semitic stereotypes, referring to Soros as a "puppet master" and accusing him of controlling the media, the political process, and the global economy.
Fox Calls For Repeal Of The 20th Century. In September, Media Matters documented that since President Obama's election, Fox personalities have expressed opposition to or called for the repeal of virtually every progressive achievement of the 20th century, including Social Security, Medicare, the Americans with Disabilities Act, portions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the 16th and 17th Amendments to the Constitution.
Fox News' Christine O'Donnell Problem. Following Christine O'Donnell's surprise victory in the Delaware Republican Senate primary, many Fox media figurescoalesced around O'Donnell and took to bullying other Republicans -- including Fox News' Karl Rove -- into supporting her. O'Donnell, who was told by Sarah Palin to "speak through Fox News," reportedly said she had Hannity "in her back pocket" and a Fox source told Media Matters that O'Donnell appeared on Hannity after canceling on Fox News Sunday in order to "get a certain kind of treatment."
Kilmeade "Misspoke" About "All Terrorists" Being "Muslims" -- Twice. On the October 15 edition of Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade claimed that "[n]ot all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims." Later that day on his radio program, Kilmeade asserted that it's a "fact" that "every terrorist is a Muslim" andquestioned whether "moderate Muslims" need to prove "you're not one of them." Kilmeade -- who, like his Fox News colleagues, has a history of bigoted and anti-Muslim statements -- later "clarif[ied]" that he "misspoke."
Glenn Beck's Violent Rhetoric -- And Its Consequences. In October, nearly three months after Byron Williams was arrested on his way to kill "people of importance at the Tides Foundation and ACLU," Media Matters released "Progressive Hunter," a report from journalist John Hamilton, who spoke with Williams at the California jail where he currently awaits trial. In his interviews with Hamilton, Williams described Beck as "a schoolteacher" and said "it was the things [Beck] exposed that blew my mind." Beck has a long history of using violent rhetoric to attack progressives and Democrats.
How Fox News Won The Elections. Throughout the 2010 election cycle, Media Matters documented how Fox News, its employees, and its parent company engaged in an unprecedented campaign in support of the Republican Party. The network served as the communications and fundraising wing of the GOP while fervently promoting -- and sometimes creating -- the party's candidates. Specifically:
- Fox Parent Company Donates $2.25 Million To GOP-Linked Groups. On September 30, Politico reported that News Corp. had donated $1 million to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Following the donation, Fox offered little in the way of disclosure. On August 16, Bloomberg reported that News Corp. gave the Republican Governors Association (RGA) "$1 million in June" and that News Corp. was "[t]he Republicans' biggest corporate donor" for 2010. The New York Timesfurther reported on August 17 that the donation "is one of the biggest ever given by a media organization, campaign finance experts said." On October 15, The New York Times reported that News Corp. donated an additional $250,000 to the RGA in July. In the weeks that followed, Fox often neglected to disclose the donation while reporting and discussing gubernatorial races.
- FoxPAC: Fox News Figures Raise Big Bucks For GOP. Fox News contributors Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, and Rick Santorum all raised tens of millions combined for Republican causes. Contributor Karl Rove ran a shadow Republican National Committee during the election that directed tens of millions to Republican causes and ran tens of thousands of TV ads. And contributor Dick Morris served as a one-man campaign for the Republican Party.
- GOP Candidates "Speak Through Fox News." Republican candidates took the advice of Sarah Palin, who advised Christine O'Donnell to "speak through Fox News," and participated in numerous softball interviews and fundraising pushes on the network.
- Fox News Builds Conservative Movement, Creates 2010 Candidates. Media Matters documented how Fox News engaged in conservative movement-building by heavily promoting and taking ownership of the tea parties and guiding them toward the Republican Party. The election also featured Republican candidates who were previously employed by, or inspired by, Fox News.
- More Than 30 Fox Newsers Support GOP In 600-Plus Instances During Midterms. During the election cycle, more than 30 Fox News personalities endorsed, raised money, or campaigned for Republican candidates or organizations in more than 600 instances. The Republican support was given to more than 300 different races or party organizations in at least 47 states. Media Matters found that Republicans routinely tout the Fox News affiliations of their supporters.
Fox News' "Nazi" And "Socialism" Rhetoric Comes Straight From The Top. In a November interview, Fox News chairman Roger Ailes referred to National Public Radio executives as "Nazis" with a "Nazi attitude" and claimed that "[t]hey are the left wing of Nazism." As Media Matters documented, Ailes' employees at Fox News, particularly Glenn Beck, have also used Nazi and Holocaust imagery to smear President Obama, Democrats, and progressives. Ailes also referred to Obama's policies as "socialism." Ailes' opinion is shared by his Fox News employees, who regularly characterize Obama and his administration as "socialist."
Lou Dobbs Joins Fox Birther Network. In November, Fox Business Network hired Lou Dobbs. While with CNN, Dobbs repeatedly advanced false conspiracy theories about President Obama's birth certificate. Dobbs has company at Fox, as his new colleagues have a history of embracing birtherism. In December, The Washington Post noted that Fox is the "second-chance employer" for those who "ran afoul" of liberals, such as Don Imus and former WJLA (DC) anchor Doug McKelway.
Andrew Napolitano Pushes 9-11 Conspiracy Theories -- Fox Is Hypocritically Silent. On November 23, Fox News' Andrew Napolitano told 9-11 conspiracy theory leader Alex Jones that it's "hard for me to believe that" World Trade Center Building 7 "came down by itself" -- a central tenet of 9-11 conspiracy theories -- and claimed that "twenty years from now, people will look at 9-11 the way we look at the assassination of JFK today. It couldn't possibly have been done the way the government told us." Napolitano made similar remarks in May on a separate radio program. Despite criticizing 9-11 conspiracy theorists in the past, Fox News wassilent about Napolitano's remarks.
Fox News' 2012 Presidential Roster. In November, Media Matters released a report estimating that between January 1 and October 31 of this year, five potential Republican presidential candidates who also serve as Fox News contributors or hosts -- Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, John Bolton, and Rick Santorum -- had appeared on the network for a combined total of nearly 66 hours. Media Matters estimates this time to be worth at least $40 million in advertising costs. Figures both within and outside Fox News -- including some of the potential candidates -- have praised Fox News as a helpful vehicle for a potential run for the Republican nomination.
Fox News Vs. The DREAM Act. According to a Media Matters analysis, Fox News gave guests who oppose the DREAM Act, a bill that would provide a path to legal status for certain immigrants who came to the United States as children, more than 40 minutes of airtime from November 23 through December 6, but only about 7 minutes to supporters during that same period. In November and December, Fox News regularly resorted to inflammatory rhetoric and false claims to attack the legislation.
Fox Washington Managing Editor Bill Sammon Caught Slanting News Reporting. Media Matters released emails showing Washington managing editor Bill Sammon directing staff not to use the phrase "public option" when discussing health care reform legislation. The emails, which were sent during the height of the health care debate, echoed Republican pollster Frank Luntz's appearance on Hannity in which he encouraged host Sean Hannity not to say "public option," but instead use the term "government option," because "if you call it the 'government option,' the public is overwhelmingly against it."
Media Matters also obtained emails from Sammon in which he instructed news staff to "refrain from asserting that the planet has warmed (or cooled) in any given period without IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics have called into question." This directive was issued less than 15 minutes after Fox correspondent Wendell Goler accurately reported on-air that the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization announced that 2000-2009 was "on track to be the warmest [decade] on record." Sammon's email was sent as the network heavily promoted the fabricated "Climategate" scandal.
Media Matters previously reported that sources with knowledge of the situation had raised concerns about the direction of Fox's Washington bureau under Sammon, who took over as managing editor in February 2009.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A day after deciding two major cases on gay marriage, the U.S. Supreme Court declined on Thursday to take up two more cases on the issue.
The cases concerned Nevada's ban on same-sex marriage, and an Arizona law that denies state benefits to domestic partners.
The court, which rejects the vast majority of cases that come before it, declined to hear the cases without comment.
The action means an appeals court ruling striking down the Arizona law stays in effect, while litigation over the Nevada law will continue.
The cases, submitted months ago, were likely on hold while the court considered the other two cases it decided Wednesday. In those rulings, the justices struck down a part of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act that denied federal benefits to same-sex married couples and avoided deciding the constitutionality of a 2008 California law that banned gay marriage.
The Arizona case concerns a law that limits health benefits to employees' spouses and dependents, thereby excluding domestic partners, including those in same-sex relationships. Gay marriage is not recognized in Arizona.
Before the law was enacted via a ballot initiative in November 2008, the state had for several months allowed same-sex domestic partners to receive health benefits.
Gay and lesbian state employees sued before the new law was due to go into effect in January 2011, saying it violated their equal protection rights under the U.S. Constitution.
A federal district court issued a preliminary injunction preventing the law from taking effect. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that ruling in September 2011, prompting the state's appeal to the high court.
In the other case, supporters of Nevada's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage asked the Supreme Court to rule definitively that states could limit the definition of marriage to opposite-sex couples.
The case arose when eight same-sex couples tried to get married in Nevada or asked the state to recognize their out-of-state marriages. A federal court dismissed their claim. The case is pending before an appeals court, but supporters of the ban asked the Supreme Court to take an early look at the issue.
The Arizona case is Brewer v. Diaz, U.S. Supreme Court, No. 12-33. The Nevada case is Coalition for the Protection of Marriage v. Sevick, U.S. Supreme Court, No. 12-689.

The MInnesota Twins held a public memorial service for Harmon Killebrew at Target Field on Thursday evening. It was a fitting tribute to a magnificent ballplayer and outstanding man (who also happened to be a solid conservative).
More than 40 members of the Killebrew family were there. The Killebrew clan included Harmon's widow, Nita Killebrew. Mrs. Killebrew gave an incredibly moving speech in honor of her husband. She radiated love and respect. The video of her remarks is available here.
Henry Aaron attended the service. His presence made a statement all by itself, as did the presence of many of Harmon's former teammates. Harmon's former teammates portrayed a man in full. Jim Kaat spoke from the heart at length without a note and with remarkable eloquence. The video of Kaat's remarks is here.
Former Twins pitcher Jim "Mudcat" Grant sang "Wonderful World," one of Harmon's favorite songs and one that Harmon frequently asked Grant to sing for him. The video of Grant's performance is here.
The great Rod Carew, a man who has seen has own share of suffering, spoke with deep feeling of his friendship with Harmon dating back to the time that Rod joined the team as a hot-headed rookie. Rod's remarks really hit home for me, one big man paying tribute to another.
All honor to the Minnesota Twins organization and the Pohlad family for producing a memorial that did justice to Harmon's memory and to what Harmon meant to the Minnesota Twins.

Another satellite radio website (no names mentioned!) has posted an very interesting article about ICO systems. If I recall correctly, ICO submitted comments to the FCC about the XM/Sirius merger stating that they were against it unless XM/Sirius was forced to give up their "exclusive agreements" with OEMs.
This would definately be a reason why. They came out at CES this year, showing off their future systems, dubbed "Mobile Interactive Media". They are planning a satellite launch later this year and start off their services shortly after. Very intersting stuff.
Something to keep an eye on.

The agreement covers five small-scale projects totalling 75MW in British Columbia. It comes after an eight-month competitive procurement process conducted by KPMG and Hatch.
"This marks our entry into western Canada after successes in Ontario and Quebec," said Repower Canada CEO Helmut Herold.
ZED is moving forward in a market where wind energy developers are still awaiting their next chance to sell power to the province's government-owned monopoly utility, BC Hydro, five years after its last request for proposals was issued.
The company plans to apply for power purchase contracts under the utility's standing offer programme, said a ZED spokesman.
The programme, which has been mainly used by small hydro developers since it was introduced in 2008, offers a fixed tariff to clean power projects between 50kW and 15MW in size.
Base prices range from C$94.86 to C$103.69 per megawatt hour, depending on where projects are located in the province, and are adjusted for the time of day and month when the energy is delivered.
ZED plans to file its applications in the fourth quarter of this year after completing permitting and anticipates to start construction before the end of the year.

Rating 5/5 Word Count 609 Review this Chapter
Chapter 1
"Leaving" Bellas POVAs months passed after he left, I was dead. I was a living zombie and not even Jacob, the sun in my life could brighten me up. My life was crashing and I was going deeper into death. How could he have done this to me. He was my life, my love, and my world. He was the reason I kept on breathing ,the reason for my existence. As he said those last words to me. it was like I never existed. I felt my heart break and die as he walked out of my life forever gone. I knew he couldn't love me how could he. I was just a plain old human, nothing special. I couldn't breath, not fully at least. My heart was taking from me, ripped up and gone. My heart was a traitor. it betrayed me and went with…. him.
"Bella, I'm tired of this." My father Charlie said.. I was daydreaming at the table not touching my food.
"Tired of what?" I asked confused.
"I'm tired of you not doing anything. Ever since Edward left you've been a zombie." I flinched as he said, his name. " You don't talk to your friends and you haven't seen Jacob in more than three weeks!" He said his voice rising..
"What do you mean. I always talk to my friends. And Jacob isn't my friend any more." I said.
Flash black… I mean back. Huh.
"What?" I stared at him, confused and appalled. "What are you saying? You're much better than I am Jake. You are good! Who told you that you aren't? Sam? it's a vicious lie, Jacob! Don't let him tell you that!" I was suddenly yelling again.
Jacobs face went hard and flat. " No one had to tell me anything. I know what I am."
"you're my friend, that's what you are! Jake--- don't!"
He was backing away from me.
"I'm sorry Bella," he said again; this time it was a broken mumble. He turned and ran into the house.
After that day I haven't spoken to him since. He just hurt me even more and now I knew no one could ever love me. Not Jacob and defiantly not him. I was dying in the inside, where the hole in my chest got bigger and bigger. I knew I could never love again.
"Bella!" Charlie yelled at me, awaking me from my flash back. " I think you need to go somewhere to get a hold of your feelings and stuff. Your mother said you should go to our summer house. She said it's a good place to relax and get a hold of yourself. I already got your tickets so your going to California."
"What, Why?!" I asked, angry and confused. " Why do I have to go?"
"Bella everything's set, you are going. You will only be gone for a few weeks. It will just be you and the calm forests. Oh and your leaving tonight."
There was no use in arguing with him. I had no strength in me to fight anymore.
"Whatever." I said expressionless and went to go and pack.

As I said good-bye to Charlie and boarded the plane, I felt a wave of exhaustion sweep threw me. As I struggled to stay awake, I listened to the people around me. A guy across from me was snoring loudly. His mouth was slightly open and drool was coming out. I giggled at that. As an hour passed I finally gave up and drifted out to sleep.

NEW ORLEANS – In the months, weeks and days leading up to the 1964 All-Star Game, the NBA players and their still-budding union had been blown off more than once by the franchise owners and the league's hierarchy. Officers and player-reps of the National Basketball Players Association would travel to a Board of Governors meeting, encouraged that they would have an audience with the bosses, only to be left cooling their heels outside the room.
Until the evening of Jan. 14, 1964, when the owners of the NBA's nine teams were the ones on the wrong side of the door, banging and pleading to get in.
"The owners kept putting us off and putting us off," said Tom Heinsohn, the Boston Celtics' Hall of Fame player, coach and broadcaster who was NBPA president at the time (owing mostly to his offseason job in the insurance field). "Finally, we decided, 'We're not going to play the All-Star Game.' "
The NBA won't exactly be celebrating the 50th anniversary of this pivotal moment in its history at All-Star Weekend in the Big Easy. But without it, the league might look nothing at all like it does now, with players and owners building it into one of the most popular sports options on the planet.
Like the union itself – founded in 1954 by Celtics guard Bob Cousy – the issues of 1964 had been on the table for most of a decade. The players were trying to institute a pension plan to cover their some portion of their retirement years. There were concerns about working conditions, such as meal money, full-time trainers (home and road) for each team and schedule considerations (for example, no Sunday matinees after Saturday night games). There also was the sheer recognition of the NBPA as the collective bargaining voice of NBA players, with Larry Fleisher as their executive director.
"They'd tell us they were going to do all these things," Oscar Robertson said this week, "and then they'd change their minds."
According to Heinsohn, it was the NBA's first commissioner, Maurice Podoloff (for whom the MVP trophy is named), who was most resistant to a unionized labor force for the league. The otherwise genial Podoloff, on orders from the league's nine owners, "did everything possible to thwart our efforts," Heinsohn said. His successor, J. Walter Kennedy, was said to have fallen right in line with that tactic.
That offseason, one more attempt to pitch their demands to the Board of Governors got dashed. So in the months leading up to the All-Star Game – a Tuesday night affair, not the weekend it is now – Heinsohn and union VPs Lenny Wilkens and Bob Pettit had notified management of their last-ditch plan.
An unexpected opportunity to negotiate
No one took it seriously until that day. A major snowstorm over the nation's Eastern half led to All-Stars players and NBA owners arriving through the afternoon. Heinsohn met his guys in the hotel as they did, getting them to literally sign onto the petition to boycott the game that evening.
Cincinnati's Wayne Embry, who arrived with Royals teammates Robertson and Jerry Lucas after being diverted from Cincy to Minneapolis to Washington, with a train to Boston, said: "Tommy was in the lobby. He says, 'Here's what's happening.' "
Said Heinsohn: "[That list] was the 'Magna Carta' of the players association."
Interestingly, there was a wild card in play that worked in the union's favor: For the first time, the All-Star Game was being televised live in prime time. The window of air time was finite.
"You can imagine what was at stake for them," said Embry, the burly center who became pro sports' first black GM with Milwaukee in the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar era. "But there was a lot at stake for us, too. It got pretty tense, with owners threatening players."
The clock was ticking. Kennedy was sweating. ABC made it known that it would pull the plug on the telecast if the impasse wasn't broken.
Owners such as the Celtics' Walter Brown came to the East locker room at Boston Garden, each imploring his players to reconsider. Brown, of course, represented the host team and felt more pressure than his peers for what was unfolding. "He wound up calling me the biggest heel in sports," Heinsohn said, "and saying, if there'd been a team out in Hawaii, he'd have sent me there."
Legend has it that Bob Short, the Lakers owner, tried to barge into the room but had to settle for barking some orders to the cop posted outside the door. Said Heinsohn: "He tells this old Irish police guy, 'I'm Bob Short, the owner of the Lakers. You go tell Elgin Baylor that if he doesn't get his ass out here fast, I'm done with him!'
"So Elgin gets the word and said back to him, 'Tell Bob Short to go [expletive] himself.' "
'It was something we had to do'
As tempers flared, the players' resolve intensified.
"We weren't quite united at first but we soon got there," was how Robertson recalled it. "It took a little conversation but we got it done. People came in the locker room making threats, telling us we were going to 'kill basketball' and 'What are you doing?' It was a TV game and we could understand that, but it was something we had to do. If you negotiate in good faith and you agree to do something, you should be true to your word."
The "good faith" view of ownership rapidly vanished. Jerry West, Baylor's L.A. teammate, told the Los Angeles Times in 2011: "The players were controlled by the owners. All of us felt like we were slaves in the sense we had no rights. No one made anything then. You had to work in the summer. It was the stone ages of basketball."
With ABC executives in his ear and game time fast approaching, Kennedy conferred with his owners. Then he knocked on the locker room door, entered and told the players that, yes, their concerns would be addressed: a pension plan, the working conditions and the rest, giving the NBPA a real voice and solidified seat at the bargaining table.
Pettit and Embry recalled a vote taken by show of hands, with an 18-2 outcome in favor of playing the game.
"There was a lot of discussion, pros and cons among the players," Pettit said, "and there were players who still thought we should not go out and play. I think it was Wilt Chamberlain who said, 'We've got the commissioner's guarantee that he'll do everything in his power. We need to go out and play the game.' I guess we went out three or four minutes before what was supposed to be tip-off, took one or two layups [as warm-ups] and started the game."
Embry recalled a delay of about 15 minutes. Others have referred to the near-boycott as "the 22-minute strike." That night, Robertson was named MVP after scoring 26 points with 14 rebounds and eight assists in the East's 111-107 victory. Bill Russell had 13 points and 21 rebounds, Chamberlain went for 19 and 20 and Pettit had 19 and 17.
NBPA's stance paves way for today's players
The real winners, of course, were the NBA's rank-and-file players and their union. In time, the pension plan initially designed for only active and future NBA labor was extended back to cover pre-1965 players. That and the other benefits laid a foundation for much of the players' condition today, including (after subsequent lockouts and wranglings) a $5.7 million average player salary in a league generating $5 billion in annual revenue.
"You talk about money, there wasn't a whole lot of money in that [locker] room in terms of salary," Robertson reflected. "Today, I think it would be very, very difficult when guys are making millions and millions of dollars per year for playing basketball – I don't know if [a threat to boycott the All-Star Game] would have happened today or not. I don't think a lot of players today are even aware that this happened."
The NBPA will try to educate them a bit this weekend. Ron Klempner, acting executive director of the NBPA while a search for Billy Hunter's replacement continues, told NBA.com this week that the 1964 All-Stars' stance will be remembered in a video shown before the union's annual players-rep meeting Saturday.
"Our players are being made very aware of the importance of that stand taken by the 1964 All-Stars," Klempner said. "It was a watershed moment for labor relations in sports, in terms of the recognition of our union and really in terms of fairness."
Klempner said the union hoped to have one or two of the participants attend the meeting and possibly other weekend events. Pettit, who lives in Baton Rouge and is a season-ticket holder for the New Orleans Pelicans, is a handy and natural choice. Robertson's name was in play, though at midweek he said he still had a schedule conflict.
Said Pettit: "It's important to let [current players] know. Hopefully I'll have that opportunity to touch base with them on what happened."
Sixteen of the 20 All-Stars from 1964 still are alive, 50 years later, and it remains a source of pride for those who interviewed. That year was a big one across America, with the Civil Rights Act out of Washington under President Lyndon Johnson. And the stand taken by the NBA players had a ripple effect across other pro sports.
"It was very much a defining moment, 50 years ago, in the history of the NBA and its players," said Embry, who went onto serve in management roles with Milwaukee, Cleveland and currently Toronto, in addition to private business opportunities such as McDonald's franchise ownership. "Having been on both sides of unionization in later life, as it turned out, it worked well for both. You're always going to have labor negotiations, but think about what it would be if you didn't."
In the moment, though, that sort of clarity didn't come easily. Back in 1964, Embry was a 26-year-old from Springfield, Ohio, manning the middle for the Royal, living pretty much paycheck to paycheck and letting others in that East locker room do most of the talking.
"I thought, 'Well, there goes my job.' I was an All-Star but I wasn't a superstar," Embry said. "I was scared [sick]."

Physical Sciences
Research Highlights
December 2007
Compilation of Fundamental Science Accomplishments Now Available
From the clouds above to the earth below, research by the former Fundamental Science Directorate has made important contributions to understanding our world and ourselves. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists were part of the first major assessment of the energy, economic and land-use implications of stabilizing global change. In addition, PNNL is managing two field research sites being established by U.S. Department of Energy to investigate subsurface transport of uranium and other contaminants.
Beyond our environment, PNNL researchers, through advanced three-dimensional mapping, have demonstrated a technological platform for spatial mapping of mouse brain proteins, which may accelerate the development of a cure for neurodegenerative disorders such as multiple sclerosis.
To help protect our environment and provide clean energy sources, scientists at PNNL are examining catalysts, materials that increase the speed or efficiency of reactions. In a highlighted study, PNNL researchers and their collaborators discovered that a single hydrogen atom cannot keep still after it splits from a water molecule on the surface of a specific catalyst. The hydrogen atom hopscotches across the oxygen atoms that stud the catalyst's surface, while what remains of the water molecule stays fixed, suggesting that the electronic structure of this catalyst is not as it seems.
Copies of this full-color annual accomplishments report are available online.

So if I were to fill in inaccessible areas of my map (i.e. upper parts of buildings, and other areas that are needed to be seen but cannot be touched by players) with invisible barriers it would reduce lag, but wouldn't it increase the world size? And if I the world size is larger then wouldn't there be more lag anyway? Or does the world size have nothing to do with lag and just the initial time to load?
Invisible barriers won't do anything to increase or decrease lag. They are equivalent to air in a hunch.As for increasing your world size it wouldn't by much unless the areas you are adding to happen to be chunks you have not edited in before. This obviously wouldn't be the case for you as you would be filling in areas you already built up.File size shouldn't affect your loading in time too much as the game is only loading in the area immediately around you when you start the world. It will affect other players though as you have more data to send them.
Since the 2.2 update's massive performance upgrade, Are hidden faces as much of a problem as they once were?
Once a map gets built up significantly, the GPU can start struggling to draw all the graphics, causing lower frame rates or draw lag.It's all about visible faces. A face is the side of a block. If the side of a block is exposed to air, that side is a visible face and the game must draw it. The more visible faces the game has to draw, the more work it has to do; the more likely the map will start to hit the limits of the graphics hardware.1. Hidden visible faces. How can visible faces be hidden? These are faces inside enclosed areas. The game does not know if a face is inside an enclosed area, all it knows is if the face is exposed to air. Significant landscaping can create enclosed areas. e.g. if you build a flat surface over a non flat terrain, this can leave empty areas underneath the flat surface you built, down to the ground. Any face inside this enclosed area will still have to be drawn, even though players will never see them. So to remove these hidden visible faces, fill in the enclosed areas. The Creative Fill tool is a great way to do that.2. While the sunrise/sunset effect is active, the GPU is executing a lot of extra commands to create the effect. If you freeze the day/night cycle so that the sunrise/sunset effect is always active, the GPU is working much harder than it is during normal day or night time. If your map is experiencing draw lag, freezing the day/night cycle outside the sunrise/sunset effect can help.

Stephen King Hopes to Donate More Than $100,000 to Help Needy Maine Residents Buy Heating Oil
Author Stephen King may be best known for scary stories like 'Carrie' and 'The Shining,' but he has a much softer side too — he's using his celebrity to help low-income people in his home state of Maine buy heating oil.
Budgetary concerns have hit Maine's federal heating oil assistance program hard, with the state receiving only $23 million in funds this year, down from $55.6 million last winter. The Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation is working with three radio stations he owns in the Bangor area and asking listeners to donate $70,000, which he will double. All the money will go toward helping poor, elderly and disabled residents buy the heating oil they'll need to stay warm this winter.
"This economy is terrible and [my wife] Tabitha and I both worry so much about Bangor because it truly is a working-class town," King told the Bangor Daily News. "We are always looking for ways to help, and right now this is a great need."

F5 Networks: Out of the GarageBy Baselinemag | Posted 2006-02-08 Print
F5 Networks got its Web access appliance line by buying a 20-person startup, and some say it retains a kind of tinkering-in-the-garage touch.
F5 Networks skipped onto the secure access scene by acquiring 20-employee startup uRoam in 2003 for $25 million. While customers say its SSL appliance is a solid performer, some still get a tinkering-in-the-garage feel about the product's support and documentation.
Andrew Banman, systems engineer at Coast Capital Savings, a 48-branch bank in British Columbia, Canada, says F5's support for FirePass has been "pretty good" overall. But he adds that the company does not have a detailed knowledge base for FirePass. In Banman's experience, calling tech support is "more like talking to a few guys who've developed some cool stuff ... quite often they're going to work the problem over a couple of days."
In response, an F5 spokeswoman says that's "not consistent with the customer satisfaction feedback that F5 is receiving." She cites a recent company survey of 51 FirePass customers, who rated overall support 8.3 on a 10-point scale.
But there's another artifact of FirePass' startup days: a lack of thorough documentation, says Stephen Morenzoni, senior network engineer at Lake Forest Hospital north of Chicago. "I consider myself a bright guy, and I couldn't figure out how to do some things," he says. For example, in previous versions, Morenzoni couldn't discover how to enable FirePass' direct-connect feature, which lets someone enter a computer's network address to access it remotely. He says F5 documented the feature with the latest release of FirePass' software, version 5.5, last fall. (F5 says it "recognized the issue with documentation and has resolved it" with 5.5.)
Meanwhile, Morenzoni says his FirePass 4100 has been running "really great" since he installed it two years ago. He's also pleased with its integration with Microsoft's Active Directory system because it saves time: Access privileges need to be entered only once, in Active Directory, instead of separately on FirePass.
And F5 has made key enhancements to FirePass since buying uRoam, says Abraham George, manager of information technology at the U.S. Fund for Unicef. For example, a recent upgrade added the ability to enforce security policies so administrators could, say, block access from PCs lacking antivirus software.
F5 also impressed George by going beyond the call. When the FirePass 1000 unit Unicef bought from uRoam in 2000 malfunctioned, F5 replaced it, no questions asked. Says George: "It wasn't even an F5 box, but they sent us a brand-new one."

Video Hijacking Underlines the Need for Architectural Security
At this year's DEFCON 17 security conference, which ended August 2, several presentations focused on physical security. Jason Ostrom and Arjun Sambamoorthy of Sipera Systems presented on several tools for intercepting, capturing, and spoofing video feeds over the network. Armed with these tools, attackers could eavesdrop on live video conferences, video phone conversations, or IP security cameras. In addition, they demonstrated the ability to capture video feeds and replay video of their choosing. This would allow someone to inject messages into video conferences or to trick security personnel by replaying video, instead of showing live video of a monitored area.Ostrom and Sambamoorthy's methods rely on architectural weaknesses in enterprise design to intercept video streams with their tool, UCSniff. By using VLAN hopping to traverse virtual network boundaries, users of the tool could find areas of the network that are meant to be isolated for VoIP and video. Or, by taking advantage of gratuitous ARP on VoIP phones, attackers could use the tool to make their PC a legitimate endpoint for video traffic, in place of a legitimate video phone. The researchers note that encrypting communication streams would also prevent this hijacking or spoofing, but in their experience few sites implement it.While the tools presented offer an impressive example of how video communications can be compromised, the underlying problems are certainly not new. What may be changing, however, is the quantity and value of information on the network, and the ease with which malicious actors might cause losses because of that increase. Video conferencing will likely increase as businesses continue to leverage new technologies to collaborate, drive innovation, and get more value out of time spent in meetings. As these technologies take a more prominent place in business, it will be necessary to ensure that the security of these communications are handled according to business risk tolerance.In the Information Security Management Maturity Model (ISM3 v2.10), there is an apt illustration for this point:
ISM3 mentions Mayfield's Paradox, essentially that the cost for information systems dramatically increases as fewer people are supposed to access it. When considering communications, most businesses are going to find themselves in the middle of Mayfield's curve (Levels 2 or 3 above), where some moderate cost is going to be necessary to provide some moderate security and moderate risk reduction. This will be especially true for businesses where although information that is shared in video conferencing is sensitive, it is much more important to easily collaborate than to meticulously guard communications.In some cases, robust architectural designs will be of prime importance, and Layer 2 controls against VLAN hopping and ARP spoofing will provide wide-ranging protection against a variety of attacks. For other organizations, communication encryption will make sense. For others still, both of these protections and more will be necessary to guard very sensitive material. But organizations should remember that what Ostrum and Sambamoorthy have done is demonstrate that what used to be dangerous for network communication remains dangerous. It is only the type and quantity of data on the network that has shifted.For further reading, Cisco has provided guidance for VLAN configurations to defeat these kinds of attacks, as well as documentation on phone hardening and phone security.

3.26.07: The anatomy of a little brother
We have been informed that Charlie has big balls.
That's right. Big balls. "Uncle Fun" made the announcement after watching me change Charlie's diaper.
"Don't all baby boys?" I asked.
Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle—I had no idea. But, ever since it was called to my attention, I can't stop thinking about it... about the testosterone factor in Charlie's life. About his very boyness. It's just that our firstborn happens to be the girliest of girls. "1000% girl," her Grandpa and Bubbe say. She daintily crosses her ankles when she sits. She raises her pinky finger when she takes a sip of tea at her tea parties. She literally puts the dress in getting dressed. I don't know where she gets it—it's certainly not from me.
I was the kind of girl who preferred playing basketball to playing with Barbies. I think it must be because I grew up with two older brothers leading the charge. I spent my childhood climbing trees, playing catch, and helping my brothers chase our younger sister down the street with a giant fishing net so that we could capture her and tie her to a tree. So, I can't help but wonder what it will be like for Charlie to grow up with this girliest of girls leading the charge. No doubt he will be playing with dolls...having tea parties...wearing dresses...big balls, and all.
I hope we don't have the kind of household that would foster stereotypical gender roles. Will and I are, I'd like to think, equal partners. Sure, we have our fair share of traditional traits. But, I take out the trash. Will does the grocery shopping. I mow the lawn. We both change diapers. And we decided long before we had kids that—out of necessity—Will would teach them to cook while I would teach them to do a jumpshot.
I hate to make generalizations about our kids, and I'm trying really hard not to put labels on them. But, still, it's impossible to deny Julia's innate girliness. And now I can't help but wonder if Charlie will have some sort of innate boyishness that will come through, despite his big sister's influence. Will the very testosterone running through his veins help shape who he becomes? If the loud belch that he lets loose after I feed him is any indication, I think we've got a "1000% boy" in our midst.

It is as if it started with the tragic death of Philip Seymour Hoffman. A renowned and talented actor, he succumbed to the insurmountable call of his demon — heroin. There have been endless heroin overdoses all over the country since then. At least 185 people have died in Massachusetts in the past four months; over 70 people in Rhode Island.
It is as if it started with the tragic death of Philip Seymour Hoffman. A renowned and talented actor, he succumbed to the insurmountable call of his demon — heroin. There have been endless heroin overdoses all over the country since then. At least 185 people have died in Massachusetts in the past four months; over 70 people in Rhode Island.
Their names have not necessarily been on the front pages, but each of them is someone's child, sibling, grandchild, spouse, or parent and most likely under the age of 40. They may or may not have had a "normal" childhood, may or may not be well educated, may or may not be employed, and may or may not be close to their families.
But most likely, they all have a genetic propensity to addiction, do not fear trying things that scare most of us, and have a personality which makes them want to devour the world. But, of course, it is not a new problem.
My son, Jonathan Waxler, was one of these people. He grew up in a "normal" household with two supportive parents, a younger brother who adored him, got a bachelor's degree at college in four years and then a master's degree. He had a good job, but in 1994 we got a call that Jonathan was addicted to heroin. We had no idea. A year later, we got the call from the coroner in San Francisco: Jonathan had died of a heroin overdose. He had been in treatment for most of that year. He would have been 45 this year.
Heroin use is an epidemic that we need to pay attention to. If you think that it cannot touch your family, think again. If it is not in your immediate family, it might be affecting a friend, relative or co-worker. When a loved one is addicted to heroin, the whole family is addicted to it. Parents spend most of their time thinking about how to help the child. Feeling shame or guilt, always sad, they often pull away from friends.
Parents worry about "enabling" but are tortured by the possibility that their child might be homeless, might even die. A parent will question, "Should I buy my son a coat so he won't freeze even though he might sell it and buy heroin?"
Recently, I went to a meeting of the organization Learn to Cope, a support group for parents and family struggling with a loved one addicted to drugs. It is a place where parents can feel safe talking about their child and where they can get a lot of information about where to seek help.
Watching the parents walk into the room for the meeting, I thought that if someone did not know what the meeting was about, they might think that this was a PTA meeting or a similar civic gathering. The stereotypical picture about heroin users and their families is absolutely wrong. The real picture includes all of us.
All in all, it was a sad evening for me because I realized how little we have accomplished since Jonathan's death. Heroin has become cheaper, more powerful, more dangerous and more available. But what have we done to stem this terrible tide? What can we do?
I certainly do not have the answer. Treatment helps to keep people safe but most treatment lasts less than a month. About 90 percent of people relapse after leaving treatment. Recovering heroin addicts will tell you that they are in a constant battle with their brain which tells them to try "just one more time."
The chase for the high makes people lose their families, their children, their jobs and their lives. But knowing this, many continue to use. Brain and genetic research could help. Research shows that the brain of an addict is different from a normal brain and with continued research, maybe we can make some headway there.
All of us must pay attention. We are concerned about diabetes and cancer and many, many other diseases. But addiction is also a disease and until we look at it this way, the problem will be pushed aside. Addicts are looked at as bad people, druggies and people without any self-control, but they are really just human beings with flaws like all of us.
Addiction is in the news now, but how long will that last? All of us should be horrified, shouting out to our politicians: Our young people are dying and something must be done. If money for research is the answer, then appropriate it. And stop thinking that it can't happen to you. It can.
Linda Waxler, of Dartmouth, is a retired Dartmouth High School math teacher and the co-author with her husband, Robert Waxler, of "Losing Jonathan," a book about the struggle with their son's heroin addiction and his death from overdose.

Hello Mr. Cyrnns,
I understand that one of the most destructive objects floated down the river was a blazing floating mill. This breached the bridges causing chaos. I feel that this could look quite spectacular if modelled correctly ( and set on fire)!
In the meantime, thank you again for more fabulous information about this very interesting battle .
Best wishes,

Running is a great way to remain fit and agile but sometimes it becomes hard to be motivated. Thankfully, with one of the best pedometer apps for Android by your side, running becomes extremely rewarding. I have been running/power walking on and off for almost two years and I have to say, the apps have made a big impact on my fitness.
A pedometer app not only shows you how much you have ran or walked but also keep track of your progress. If you are serious about your fitness and want to make lifestyle improvements, these pedometer apps for Android are highly recommended. Combine them with the best fitness apps as well as best running apps and you have a solid combination.
Note: The best pedometer apps for Android were tested on a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. The apps worked fine and no problems were faced during testing. Minor inaccuracy in the step count was observed in all the apps but the change was only of a few steps and easily negligible.

Walk With Map My Walk
This app is one of the best pedometer apps for Android and I have used it for more than three months. It has grown and improved in a lot of aspects over the course of few years and it is certainly going in the right direction. From the easy to use interface to well thought out features, this pedometer app for Android has all the bases covered.
If you want accurate GPS location tracking and full maps of your runs, this is the best Avenue you can get on the Google play store. That's not all, though, sharing your data with other nutrition apps like MyFitnessPal and Google Fit is extremely easy. MyFitnessPal has been featured in other lists I have written as well and it is an exceptional app.
If you are one of those people who love to see full stats, this app allows you to access more features on the web. Although it is a subscription-based app, the price is worth it when you consider all of the features you will be getting. Read our detailed review of Walk with Map if you want to learn more about the app before committing.Show Downloads

This is the app I have been using all this while and I'm in love with it. It is refreshing to see an app designed so well and being executed as intended. Runkeeper comes with an easy to use interface and the app works just as proposed. Graphs and charts are there for you to measure your progress in a very meaningful way.
The app allows you to track any type of activity you will be doing. You can use the app for running, cycling, walking, hiking and swimming but that's not all; you can also use it for mountain biking, rowing and downhill skiing. Social media integration is also handled very well.
You can even attach photos to an activity you have just done, giving it a more memorable feel. The app also comes with a built-in music button which takes you to the preferred music app directly.

The app automatically counts steps wherever you go and whatever you do, even if the smartphone is in your pocket it will do the job.
One of the most important aspects of the app is its low battery drainage, it only activates itself when it is needed otherwise it's silent in the background. Social media sharing features are available as well and can help you get motivation from your friends and family.
The app allows you to integrate your social life with your fitness regime, allowing you to encourage your friends as well as inspire yourself. If you are interested in the app I would recommend that you check out the Noom Walk pedometer app review we have covered.

This appeared in Bombay Times today....
Bandh ko bandh karo!
One had foolishly believed that the era of old-fashioned 'bandhs' was well and truly over. Apparently not! Here we are dealing with yet another unproductive day in which the only thing achieved" is a monumental loss of revenue. Whoever these Bandh blokes are, by forcing citizens to bunk work and stay home, they will only be invoking anger and scorn. If this is their way to attract attention and gain political mileage out of what is a gigantic national crisis ( rising prices!), they are wrong if they imagine the people of Mumbai are with them. Of course, the fuel hike is the trigger. And of course, it affects the aam aadmi( not politicians) the most. But by staying away from work, will fuel prices come down? Will it make one jot of a difference? We all know the answer. Despite zero popular support, despite the 2003 High Court rap and fine, politicians are at it again – this is dadagiri at its clumsiest.Today's Mumbaikar should stand up and defy such a diktat that is perverse and serves no purpose. Bandhs as a form of political protest, had their day a decade ago. Even then, the aam aadmi used to feel frustrated and annoyed at being compelled by a bunch of goons to bring normal activity in the city to a halt. There was no sympathy for those Bandhs back then, there is none now. It is the pheriwalas and small traders who suffer the most when the city shuts shop. Let's be honest, what do most people do during a Bandh? Do they spontaneously take to the streets to register their rage against the government? Do they join the organisers to show their solidarity to the cause? Do they use the extra free time to pressurise the powers that be in a meaningful manner? Forget it. People stay home, watch television, take long afternoon siestas, and wait for the Bandhwallas to go away so they can saunter out and catch a movie without being pelted with stones or beaten up.
A city like Mumbai simply cannot afford a Bandh. A day's lost wages is a huge loss here. If the BJP's Sudhir Munganitiwar describes the Bandh as a litmus test, and issues ultimatums, he risks his own credibility. It is worth asking who or what gives this person or any other person, the right to allow or disallow freedom of movement? Threats and dumdatti are so yesterday…. They worked at a time when people were unaware of their rights and went along with random diktats from random people. Who determines the nature of essential services'? Who defines what exactly constitutes 'essential''? Who compensates people who consider a marriage date éssential'? And surely people have every right to celebrate in whichever way on whichever day they see fit? What happens to all the food that has been pre-ordered? Guests who may be travelling from other cities for the happy occasion? This is grossly unfair. And even those citizens who are appalled by the price rise and very angry with the government , will agree that a Bandh' will not solve this problem. Ít would be far more democratic if political parties were to display a more constructive attitude and urge people to conserve precious fuel, till we see a correction and a major rethink at the Centre. Indulging in a show of strength or plain dadagiri will only antagonise the aam aadmi already reeling from daily problems. Mumbai should not allow itself to be held to ransom by a small group of motivated people like this. Jago,Mumbai,Jago. Kaam karo, kaam karo! Bandh ko ignore karo!

Number: 111-1
Date: January 16, 2009
House Passes H.R. 2, the
"Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009"
On January 14, 2009, the House passed H.R. 2, the "Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009," by a vote of 289-139. The bill would allow States to participate in an electronic verification program with SSA to compare the names and SSNs of Medicaid and CHIP applicants avowing U.S. citizenship or nationality. (This bill is similar to H.R. 3963, which was vetoed by the President in the 110 th Congress, but does not include provisions related to extending SSI's web-based demonstration project to the Medicaid program and protecting families caring for injured service members as described in Legislative Bulletin 110-14.)
The bill contains the following provisions of interest to SSA:
Verification of Declaration of Citizenship or Nationality for Purposes of Eligibility for Medicaid and CHIP
• Would give States the option to verify an individual's declaration that he or she is a U.S. citizen or national for purposes of Medicaid and/or CHIP eligibility through an electronic comparison of the information provided by the individual with the information in the records maintained by the Commissioner of Social Security.
• Would provide that a State could submit for comparison with the Social Security Administration (SSA) records, the name and SSN of an individual who has declared U.S. citizenship or nationality. SSA would notify the State in the case of an individual whose name, SSN, or declaration of U.S. citizenship or nationality is inconsistent with the information in SSA's records.
• In such cases, the State would have to make a reasonable effort to identify and address the causes of the inconsistent information.
• After such reasonable efforts are made, the State would provide the individual with 90 days to resolve the inconsistency with the Commissioner of Social Security, or to present paper documentation of citizenship (e.g., a U.S. passport or birth certificate combined with a prescribed, acceptable identity document) to the State.
• The State would disenroll the individual within 30 days after the end of the 90-day period if documentation is not provided or the inconsistency is not resolved with SSA.
• Would require States that choose the electronic verification method to enter into agreements with the Commissioner to electronically submit for comparison each month the names and SSNs of each individual who has declared to be a U.S. citizen or national and is newly enrolled (but not dually enrolled in another income maintenance program) for that month: (1) through an on-line system or otherwise at least monthly; or, (2) through other methods agreed to by the State and Commissioner and approved by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, provided that such method is no more burdensome on the individual than the first method.
• Would appropriate $5,000,000 to the Commissioner of Social Security to remain available until expended to carry out the Commissioner's responsibilities as outlined in the provisions above.
• Would be effective October 1, 2009.

The idea is a hotel booking site with a difference. Instead of paying for advertising we offer our customers cashback when they book and rely on them to spread the word.
Traditionally a lot of cashback sites look cheep and tacky, we're looking for something more modern and credible.
The brand of the company is very open and honest, we don't want anything hidden from our customers. The logo should be simple yet recognisable. We quite like these sites;
Another aspect of the cashback is we give the customer 3 choices;
Keep the cashback
Send it to a friend in the form of a money off voucher
Give it to charity
We're thinking of having a triangle with the 3 options on the points and a dot in the middle, the customer can then move this to where they want the money to go. Obviously this means it can also be split. So using a triangle in the design could work but is not necessary.
I've got a list of keywords to define the brand that might help;
For the people
Free market
Thanks for reading, we'll try and give as much feed back as we can so get your designs in early.
The final design needs to be submitted as a photoshop compatible format with any special fonts used attached.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Dec. 3 (UPI) -- An Indiana pro wrestler who was paid $15,000 to have a Mitt Romney logo tattooed on his face said he wants it removed because Romney is a "sore loser."
Eric Hartsburg of Michigan City said Friday he decided to have the tattoo removed when he heard the former Republican nominee comment that he lost because President Barack Obama gave "gifts" to women, minorities and college students, the South Bend (Ind.) Tribune reported Monday.
"I could deal with being a part of a losing campaign, but to still stand behind Governor Romney with the positions he's taken post-election with the blame game instead," Hartsburg said. "To be such a sore loser about it, to me I can't walk around representing that."
Hartsburg, who said he is thinking about giving up wrestling for an acting career, said he will move to Los Angeles to undergo the removal process for his facial tattoo, which will be spread across several sessions over a year.

Reviewed by Abigail S. (age 10)
My favorite part of the book was when Cinderheart finally accepted Lionblaze as her mother. I found this part to be very heartwarming. The author, Erin Hunter, is one of my favorite authors, and this book is just as good, if not better, than the other books in this series. The transition words are great, while her adjectives make me feel like I'm in the book. I relate with the story because my cat, Cooper, always seems to wish to live in the forrest like the Warriors. I also like books that are part of a series, so that was another good point to me.
Furthermore, I would recommend this book to cat-lovers, adventure seekers, and third graders and up. I think they would enjoy it because it has action, tragedy, and mystery. If you wish find out more, find a good seat and start reading because I believe you will find this book enchanting.
