If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, you can contact us at email@example.com and include 'Privacy Policy' in the subject line.
This Policy explains how we may Process your information. This Policy may be amended or updated from time to time, so please check it regularly for updates.
Prime Publishing LLC and Ginsburg Enterprises Incorporated, with its parents, affiliates and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Prime Publishing", "Prime", "us", "our" or "we"), owns, operates, or provides access to, cooking, crafting, watch, wine, wellness, lifestyle, DIY, and related websites, mobile and connected applications, and other online interactive features and services, including, but not limited to, emails, newsletters, chat/comment areas, communities, sweepstakes and contests for consumers (collectively "Services"). This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected about you when you interact with the Services, regardless of how it is collected or stored, and describes, among other things, the types of information collected about you when you interact with the Services, how your information may be used, when your information may be disclosed, how you can control the use and disclosure of your information, and how your information is protected.
Except as otherwise noted in this Privacy Policy, Prime Publishing is a data controller (as that term is used under the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR")), which means that we decide how and why the information you provide to us is processed. Contact details are provided in Section 17 below. This Policy may be amended or updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices with respect to the Processing of your information, or changes in applicable law. We encourage you to read this Policy carefully, and to regularly check this page to review any changes we might make.
This Privacy Policy covers information collected through our various websites listed at our corporate site — www.primecp.com.
We may Process: your personal details (e.g., your name); demographic data (e.g., your age); your contact details (e.g., your address); records of your consents; purchase details; details of your employer (where relevant); information about your interactions with our content or advertising; and any views or opinions you provide to us.
We may also Process information about you from your use of our Services (e.g., the type of device you are using, the internet service provider, etc.), including your interactions with content and advertising on the Services.
"Personal Information" means information that is about any individual, or from which any individual is directly or indirectly identifiable.
"Process", "Processing" or "Processed" means anything that is done with any Personal Information, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
We may Process the following categories of Personal Information about you:
We also collect other kinds of information from you or other sources, which we refer to as "Other Information" in this Policy, which may include but is not limited to:
Under certain circumstances and depending on applicable law, some of this Other Information may constitute Personal Information. Personal Information together with Other Information is hereinafter referred to as "User Information".
Where we need to Process your Sensitive Personal Information for a legitimate purpose, we do so in accordance with applicable law. The Services are not intended for use by children.
To the extent that information we collect is health data or another special category of personal data subject to GDPR, we ask for your explicit consent to process the data. We obtain this consent separately when you take actions leading to our obtaining the data, for example, when you sign up for a newsletter on our site or agree to allow us to track you. You can withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing from our newsletters as set out in Section 6 or adjusting your preferences as set out in Section 15.
Children. The Services are not intended for use by children, especially those under 13. No one under the age of 13 should provide any Personal Information or use our public discussion areas, forums or chats. Minors under the age of 18 are not permitted to make purchases through the Services or obtaining coupons or codes from the Services to purchase goods or services on third party websites. If, notwithstanding these prohibitions, your children disclose information about themselves in our public discussion areas, consequences may occur that are not intended for children (for example, they may receive unsolicited messages from other parties). If it is discovered that we have collected Personal Information from someone under 13, we will delete that information immediately.
We may collect or obtain User Information about you: directly from you (e.g., where you contact us); in the course of our relationship with you (e.g., if you make a purchase); when you make your Personal Information public (e.g., if you make a public post about us on social media); when you download, install, or use any of our Services; when you visit our Services; when you register to use any part of the Services; or when you interact with any third party content or advertising on the Services. We may also receive User Information about you from third parties (e.g., social network sites). We may also create User Information about you, such as records of your interactions with us. Prime Publishing is not responsible for Personal Information you volunteer about yourself in public areas of the Services. This Policy does not cover the practices of third parties who may provide information about you to Prime Publishing.
Collection of User Information: We may collect User Information about you from the following sources:
Please note that Prime Publishing is not responsible for the information you volunteer about yourself in the discussions in certain public areas of the Services, such as comments, blogs, wikis, private messages, message boards or other publicly accessible interaction, or information that you choose to make public in your member profile or other areas of the Services that allow users to upload or post content. We discourage users from posting such Personal Information in this fashion. You can change your publicly available information at any time via your profile page. To request removal of your Personal Information from these areas, please see Section 17 in this Privacy Policy for further details. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your Personal Information, in which case we will let you know we are unable to do so and why.
This Privacy Policy does not cover the practices of third parties, including those that may disclose information to Prime Publishing.
Creation of User Information. We may also create User Information about you, such as records of your interactions with us and details of your purchase history, for internal administrative purposes and analysis. We may also use User Information you have provided to us with data obtained from third parties to enhance our records or enhance our ability to provide products and services, such as appending additional information to your profile.
We may Process User Information for the following purposes: providing the Services to you; communicating with you; providing advertising to you on the Services and Channels; analyzing engagement with our audience; observing user engagement and purchase activity across the Service and Channels; offering lead generation services; marketing our services and offerings to current and prospective customers; managing our IT systems; financial management; conducting surveys and quizzes; ensuring the security of our systems; conducting investigations where necessary; compliance with applicable law; and improving our Services.
The purposes for which we may Process User Information, subject to applicable law, include:
We may Process your User Information to contact you with information regarding services that may be of interest to you. You may unsubscribe for free at any time.
We may Process your User Information to contact you via email, telephone, direct mail, or other methods of communication to provide you with information regarding the Services that may be of interest to you. We may send information to you regarding the Services, upcoming promotions and other information that may be of interest to you, using the contact details that you have provided to us and always in compliance with applicable law.
You may unsubscribe from our newsletter lists at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in every email we send. We will not send you any emails from a list you have selected to be unsubscribed from, but we may continue to contact you to the extent necessary for the purposes of any other Services you have requested or for additional emails you have signed up for.
We may Process your User Information by placing or reading Cookies and similar technologies on the Services and Channels. For more information, please see our Cookie Policy. Certain tracking technologies enable us to assign a unique identifier to you, and relate information about your use of the Services to Other Information about you, including your User Information for the purposes of learning more about you so we can provide you with relevant content and advertising. We and our partners also use these technologies to analyze trends; administer the Services; collect and store information such as user settings, anonymous browser identifiers and video viewing history; supplement to our server logs and other methods of traffic and response measurement; track users' location and movements around the Services; gather demographic information about our user base; and to improve our understanding of traffic on the Services, visitor behavior, and responses to promotional campaigns.
Prime Publishing and/or certain third parties may collect information about you for online behavioral advertising purposes in order for you to receive relevant interest-based advertising on the Services and on other websites, platforms and media channels. We use Online Data as well as other User Information to send you online behavioral ads. Online Data is aggregated with the Other Information and data we collect and/or similar data collected by partners to create groups of users and certain general-interest categories or segments that we have inferred. We use this information to get a more accurate picture of audience interests in order to serve ads we believe are more relevant to your interests.
Prime Publishing and its partners may use cookies and other tracking technologies to analyze trends, administer Services, track users' movements around the Services and on third party sites, devices and applications, and to gather demographic information about our user base. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on the Services. To manage Flash cookies, please click here. Please see our Cookie Policy for more information, including a more in-depth explanation of what cookies are, the different types of cookies used on the Services, and how to change or delete them.
We may use third party ad networks or ad serving companies to serve advertisements on our websites. We pass information about you to these companies so that they can deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of interest to you. The information passed to these companies may include, but is not limited to, your IP address, e-mail address, name, mailing address, telephone number, date of birth, gender, and any other information you provide to us. Web pages that are served by these companies will state that they are "powered by" or "ads by" the applicable company and will contain a link to that company's privacy policy.
You can use Ads Settings to manage the Google ads you see and opt out of interest-based ads. Even if you opt out of interest-based ads, you may still see ads based on factors such as your general location derived from your IP address, your browser type and recent, previous searches related to your current search.
In the USA you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info, in Canada at http://youradchoices.ca/choices, or the EU-based Your Online Choices.
Tracking technologies on the Services may be deployed by Prime Publishing and/or by our service providers or partners. Certain tracking technologies enable us to assign a unique identifier to you, and relate information about your use of the Services to other information about you, including your User Information. We may match information collected from you through different means or at different times and use such information along with offline and online information obtained from other sources (including from third parties), including, but not limited to, demographic information and updated contact information, for the purposes of learning more about you so we can provide you with relevant content and advertising.
When you receive email messages or newsletters from us, we may use web beacons, customized links, clear GIFs or similar technologies to determine whether the email has been opened and which links you click in order to provide you with more focused email communications or other information, and/or to aggregate that information with other data we collect to use for some or all of the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.
We and our partners (including but not limited to e-commerce partners, affiliates, and analytics providers) also may use technologies such as pixel tags, e-tags, IP addresses, Local Shared Objects, Local Storage, Flash cookies and HTML5 to analyze trends; administer the Services; collect and store information such as user settings, anonymous browser identifiers and video viewing history; supplement our server logs and other methods of traffic and response measurement; track users' location and movements around the Services; gather demographic information about our user base; and to improve our understanding of traffic on the Services, visitor behavior, and responses to promotional campaigns. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these third party companies on an individual and aggregated basis. For example, we may connect information about your IP address to known corporate or User Information and use the associated information related to aggregate content preferences to assist in our efforts to market services to you or the originating corporation(s). Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing Local Storage. To manage Flash Local Shared Objects please click here.
We may use mobile analytics software to collect data and to better understand the functionality of our mobile software, devices and applications on your phone and other devices. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from. We may link this information to User Information.
Prime Publishing and/or certain third parties may collect information about you for online behavioral advertising ("OBA") purposes in order for you to receive relevant interest-based advertising on the Services and on other websites, platforms and media channels. OBA is also referred to as interest-based advertising.
Prime Publishing displays ads on both the Services and on the Channels. We may use Online Data as well as other User Information to send you OBA. For example, if you read an article about a particular subject on the Services, we may use cookies from a vendor to later serve you an advertisement for a particular product or service related to the viewed article. These third party vendors may connect information about pages you visit on the Services with information about pages you visit on other Channels and show you advertising based on this combined information. These advertisements may appear when you are visiting a different section of the Services or on another Channel. Likewise, third party vendors may serve you advertisements when you visit the Services based on your interaction with the Services and other Channels.
The specific providers we use for OBA are subject to change. Prime Publishing allows firms including Google, LiveRamp, Datonics, and Magnetic to monitor Company web sites and newsletters for the purpose of reporting website traffic, statistics, advertisements, "click-throughs" and/or other activities. These firms may use cookies, web beacons and other monitoring technologies to compile anonymous statistics about Company users. Users may go to each firm's site/URL for information on what is being tracked. Users may go to each firm's site for information on how to opt-in or opt-out of use of their information and may go to http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp to opt-out of most third-party tracking.
For a list of some of the applicable providers click here. For information about how to opt out of tracking methods for these entities and others, click here. For more details about OBA and opting out, see Section 15 below.
Online Data is aggregated with the Other Information and data we collect as described in this Privacy Policy and/or similar data collected by partners to create groups of users and certain general-interest categories or segments that we have inferred based on (a) demographic or interest data and GeoIP Data, (b) the pages you view and links you click when viewing an email or using the Services and those of our partners, and/or (c) the search terms you enter when using certain search services. We use this information to get a more accurate picture of audience interests in order to serve ads we believe are more relevant to your interests. We store page views, clicks and search terms used for ad personalization targeting separately from your Personal Information.
By using our website you consent to us sharing a hashed, non-human readable version of your email with our partners who will drop a cookie on your browser and match your email with its marketing file to create a link between your browser and our partner's record of you; this link shall be shared by our partner globally for the purpose of improving the relevance of online advertising and content by third parties that are unaffiliated with our website. Our partners use this information to recognize you across different channels and platforms over time for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. Please click here to opt out of your data being used for these purposes. This link will direct you to our partner's opt-out centre.
We partner with third parties that collect information across various channels, including offline and online, for purposes of delivering more relevant advertising and content to you. Our partner may place or recognize a cookie on your computer or device and we may share personal information with them if you have submitted such information to us, such as your email address. Our partners may link the personal information we share with them to the cookie stored on your browser or device, and they may collect information such as your IP address, browser or operating system type and version, and demographic or inferred-interest information. Our partners use this information to recognize you across different channels and platforms over time for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. For example, our partners may deliver and/or enable downstream delivery of an ad to you in your web browser based on a purchase you made in a physical retail store, or they may send a personalized marketing email to you based on the fact that you visited a particular website.

We may Process your User Information where: you have given your consent; the Processing is necessary for a contract between you and us; the Processing is required by applicable law; the Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of any individual; or where we have a valid legitimate interest in the Processing.
In Processing your User Information in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the circumstances:
We may disclose your User Information to: legal and regulatory authorities; our external advisors; parties who Process User Information on our behalf ("Processors"); any party as necessary in connection with legal proceedings; any party as necessary for investigating, detecting or preventing criminal offences; any purchaser of our business; and any third party providers of advertising, plugins or content used on the Services.
We may disclose your User Information to other entities within the Company group, for legitimate business purposes (including operating the Services, and providing services to you), in accordance with applicable law. In addition, we may disclose your User Information to:
For some of our Services, we may make some information, such as the name of our users, their mailing address, phone number, email address—and in certain circumstances their employer's name, company size and other industry data—available on a rental or other basis (e.g., sale) to third party providers of goods and services, for example, when such information is provided in connection with certain content available on our websites. Depending on where you reside, when you register for certain Services, we may share the Personal Information you provide with certain advertisers and sponsors.
Some of the Services may include websites that Prime Publishing operates on behalf of third parties ("Licensors"). Where applicable, we may share some or all of your Personal Information with the Licensor; however this privacy policy does not cover the user of your Personal Information by a Licensor. The privacy practices of Prime Publishing's Licensors may differ from this policy and we encourage you to contact those third parties directly if you have questions regarding their use of your Personal Information. When you use a co-branded service (a service operated with a partner of Prime Publishing), or register or otherwise provide information on a co-branded site, where applicable, we may pass the collected information back to that partner, which may include third party service providers whose services are embedded into and/or appear within the Services.
With respect to surveys and quizzes, in the event that responses are publicly disclosed, users will be notified at the time they take the survey or quiz. Otherwise we will disclose only aggregate information regarding its users' responses in surveys or quizzes to other participants in the survey. Where surveys or quizzes allow users to submit written comments, and where Prime Publishing advises users of the possibility of such disclosure at the time they take the survey or quiz, Prime Publishing reserves the right to disclose any information provided by users, provided that no User Information identifying a specific user is disclosed.
Prime Publishing and some of our advertisers may use third party advertising service companies to serve advertisements, for OBA or otherwise, and perform related services when you interact with the Services. Often, these third party advertising companies employ cookies and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of website, app and email advertisements and to create a record of interaction with our content that they use in conjunction with their advertising which appears on other sites or applications, or for reporting website traffic, app use, statistics, advertisement data and/or other activities on the Services. We also engage third party providers to assist with the segmentation of this data.
We may also sell or transfer Online Data to certain third parties such as advertisers who will use this data to serve ads that they believe are relevant to your interests, and who agree to maintain the confidentiality of this information. Some of these third parties may combine the Online Data with their own data about you to form a more detailed picture.
We may engage third party providers to assist with the collection, storage and segmentation of Online Data and the providers are required to maintain the confidentiality of this information. These third party providers may collect User Information from our Services for their own purposes, including but not limited to monitoring fraud around the web.
We may also engage third parties for the purpose of recognizing our users and delivering interest-based content and advertisements to them. We may share your User Information with our partners such as your name, postal address, email, or other identifier. Our partners may also: (i) collect information directly from your device, such as your IP address, device ID, advertising ID, and information about your browser or operating system; (ii) combine User Information about you received from Prime Publishing with information about you from other sites or services; and (iii) place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser.
If we engage a third-party Processor to Process your User Information, the Processor will be subject to binding contractual obligations to: (i) only Process the User Information in accordance with our prior written instructions; and (ii) use measures to protect the confidentiality and security of the User Information; together with any additional requirements under applicable law.
The Services contain links to other sites or partners whose information practices may be different from ours. You should consult the privacy policy of these third parties to learn how your privacy is protected.
We may transfer your Personal Information to recipients in other countries. Where we transfer User Information from the European Economic Area ("EEA") to a recipient outside the EEA that is not in an adequate jurisdiction, we do so on the basis of standard contractual clauses.
Because of the international nature of our business, we may need to transfer your User Information within the Prime Publishing group of companies, and to third parties as noted in Section 9 above, in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy. For this reason, we may transfer your User Information to other countries that may have different laws and data protection compliance requirements to those that apply in the country in which you are located.
Where we transfer your Personal Information from the EEA to recipients located outside the EEA who are not in a jurisdiction that has been formally designated by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Information, we do so on the basis of standard contractual clauses. You may request a copy of the relevant standard contractual clauses using the contact details provided in Section 17 below.
Please note that when you transfer any Personal Information directly to a Company entity established outside the EEA, we are not responsible for that transfer of your Personal Information. We will nevertheless Process your Personal Information, from the point at which we receive the data, in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your User Information. Please ensure that any Personal Information that you send to us is sent securely.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your User Information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized access, and other unlawful or unauthorized forms of Processing, in accordance with applicable law. In certain instances we may use Secure Sockets Layer encryption and/or transfer certain User Information in a non-human readable format to provide protection. However, we cannot guarantee there will not be a breach, and we are not responsible for any breach of security or for the actions of any third parties.
Because the internet is an open system, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will implement reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us using the internet. Any such transmission is at your own risk and you are responsible for ensuring that any Personal Information that you send to us are sent securely.
We take every reasonable step to ensure that your User Information is kept accurate and up-to-date and are erased or rectified if we become aware of inaccuracies.
We take every reasonable step to ensure that your User Information that we Process is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date, and any of your User Information that we Process that you inform us is inaccurate (having regard to the purposes for which they are Processed) is erased or rectified.
We take every reasonable step to limit the volume of your User Information that we Process to what is necessary.
We take every reasonable step to ensure that your User Information that we Process is limited to the User Information reasonably necessary in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy or as required to provide you services or access to the Services.
We take every reasonable step to ensure that your User Information is only retained for as long as they are needed.
We take every reasonable step to ensure that your User Information is only Processed for the minimum period necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. The criteria for determining the duration for which we will keep your User Information are as follows: we will retain copies of your User Information in a form that permits identification only for as long as is necessary in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy, unless applicable law requires a longer retention period. Unless there is a specific legal requirement for us to keep the information, we plan to retain it for no longer than is necessary to fulfill a legitimate business need.
You can directly take steps to change your preferences for newsletters and online behavioral advertising as outlined in this section.
If you are an EU resident, you may have certain rights including: the right not to provide your Personal Information to us; the right of access to your Personal Information; the right to request rectification of inaccuracies; the right to request the erasure, or restriction of Processing, of your Personal Information; the right to object to the Processing of your Personal Information; the right to have your Personal Information transferred to another controller; the right to withdraw consent; and the right to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities. We may require proof of or need to verify your identity before we can give effect to these rights.
You may directly take steps to change your preferences as follows:
Your Newsletter and Email Subscriptions. You can opt out or unsubscribe from a newsletter or other email list at any time by following the instructions at the end of the newsletters or emails you receive. Please allow five to ten business days for changes to take effect. On some Services, member service-related communications are an integral part of such Services to which you subscribe and you may continue to receive emails as part of that particular portion of the Services unless you cancel your account, even if you opt out of the newsletters or email list. If you have provided more than one email address to us, you may continue to be contacted unless you request to unsubscribe each email address you have provided.
Push Notifications. We send you push notifications from time-to-time in order to update you about any events or promotions that we may be running. If you no longer wish to receive these types of communications, you may turn them off at the device level. To ensure you receive proper notifications, we will need to collect certain information about your device such as operating system and user identification information.
Location Based Services. You may opt-out of having your Precise Location Data collected by Prime Publishing at any time by editing the appropriate setting on your mobile device (which is usually located in the Settings area of your device).
OBA. Prime Publishing strives to adhere to the self-regulatory organization principles for the DAA (US), the DAAC (Canada) and the EDAA (EU). Online ads on the Services using Online Data are delivered with the DAA Ad Marker Icon , which helps users understand how their data is being used and provides choices for users who want more control. This icon is usually on each of our web pages and applications where Online Data is collected that will be used for OBA purposes.
The DAA Ad Marker Icon provides information (and links to other information) on online behavioral ads, who is collecting and using your Online Data, how you can opt out and more. If you would prefer that we not collect Online Data that may be used to help determine which advertisements to serve you, opt out by clicking this icon , which can be found on most of our webpages and mobile applications.
Cookies and Pixel Tags. You may stop or restrict cookies and pixel tags on your computer or purge cookies from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences. However, if you "turn off," purge, or disable cookies or pixel tags, although you may still use the Services, you may not be able to use all of the features, functions, or services available on the Services.
California Residents. In accordance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act, we may collect Personal Information about your online activities when you use the Services. While we give our users many avenues to opt out of providing Personal Information, we do not respond to Web browsers' "do not track" signals. California's "Shine the Light" law, Civil Code Section 1798.83, permits our users who are California residents to periodically request and obtain certain information about any Personal Information disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and wish to make such a request or if you wish for us to refrain from gathering your Personal Information, please submit your request in writing to the contact details set out in Section 17 below.
EU Residents. GDPR provides certain rights for EU residents. You may decline to share certain information with us, in which case we may not be able to provide some of the features and functionality of the Services. These rights include, in accordance with applicable law, the right to object to or request the restriction of processing of your information, and to request access to, rectification, erasure and portability of your own information. Where we process your information on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent (noting that such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any Processing performed prior to the date on which we receive notice of such withdrawal, and does not prevent the Processing of your Personal Information in reliance upon any other available legal bases). Requests should be submitted by contacting us (using the contact instructions in Section 17 below). If you are an EU resident and have any unresolved privacy concern that we have not addressed satisfactorily after contacting us, you have the right to contact the appropriate EU Supervisory Authority and lodge a complaint.

Senator Charles Grassley
Q. What is the debt ceiling?
A. The debt ceiling is a cap set by Congress on the amount of debt the federal government can legally borrow from both the public (such as anyone who buys bonds) and government trust funds (including the Social Security Trust Fund). The Treasury Department cannot issue any debt above the amount approved by Congress. The first such debt limit was set in 1917. In 2010, the debt ceiling was raised by $1.9 trillion to make the current limit $14.294 trillion. The Treasury Secretary has said that Congress must act to raise the debt ceiling this year by August 2, or risk defaulting on U.S. borrowing obligations. Until very recently, President Obama argued for raising the debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion without any accompanying conditions for reducing government spending. The debate then shifted, and in May, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 318 to 97 against such a no-strings-attached increase in the debt ceiling. Having to consider the debt limit should help Congress control spending and force Congress and the President to take stock of the country's fiscal situation.
Q. Why shouldn't the debt ceiling be raised without spending cuts?
A. Today, the federal debt and deficits are at record levels. These obligations inhibit the ability of the U.S. economy to grow and create private-sector jobs. It also is morally wrong to make the next generation pay the bills for the way we live today. Americans sent a clear message in the last election that they want government spending reined in. Today, the need to make sure the federal government doesn't default by increasing the debt limit should serve as a positive impetus for Congress and the President to commit to meaningful deficit reduction measures. In fact, continuing to raise the debt ceiling without concrete plans to reduce spending is itself a recipe for disaster. The inability of Washington to chart a course to bring down federal deficits already resulted in Standard & Poor's lowering its outlook for America's long-term credit rating from "stable" to "negative," for the first time ever, earlier this year. Serious spending reforms are needed for the sake of America's fiscal well-being. Negotiations now are under way between congressional leaders and the White House on an agreement for spending reductions along with an increase in the debt ceiling. This debate provides a major opportunity to bring fiscal responsibility and accountability to Washington.

Subscribe To If Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Is Canceled, I Understand Updates
I've already subscribed
Today, Josh Levs from CNN plead with Fox to keep Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. All signs point to this show being canceled and there has been a fairly substantial outcry from critics and fans alike to keep Sarah and company around for another season. This writer cries with them. That being said, I disagree with a portion of Josh's commentary especially concerning the ending to last season.
Josh claims that John and Catherine Weaver's jump to the future acts as a "fresh start" to the series should it come back. While in the future, the two happen upon Kyle Reese (John's soon-to-be father), Derek Reese (his soon-to-be uncle) and Cameron (soon-to-be protector). Some, like Josh, may see this as a new beginning; full of promise and intrigue, while I see it as quite the opposite. In fact, if anything, this ending is probably the perfect way for the series to finish. Consider the implications:
- This jump in time explains how John begins leading the resistance. It eliminates the pesky problem of how John survives J-Day (something Terminator 3: The Rise of a Stupid Movie tried to explain), how he sets forth the series of events that ultimately lead to his birth (sending Kyle back in time to protect his mother), and explains his vast knowledge of the human resistance and machine network. Hell, he has had folks jumping back in time his whole life feeding him the info.
- Where exactly does the story line go from here that the upcoming movie won't cover? When I first wrote about the series finale I said, "This season ending cliffhanger has so many implications I can't even begin to formulate them all now. Let's wait on the network decision and hope." In retrospect, this statement was probably folly. I don't think the finale teems with said implications. If anything, the finale gives us very little to go forward with. Does it give us a lot to think about? Absolutely. Does it provide various avenues toward intrigue? Not really. Terminator: Salvation, by all accounts picks up fairly close to where the show leaves off. John Connor leads the resistance and while Catherine Weaver's presence is a bit problematic, the answers far outweigh the questions. John and mom couldn't stop the future. Which leads me to :
- The "family drama" angle. Levs argues perfectly that Terminator: TSCC is more an excellently executed family drama than it is a sci-fi vehicle. I totally agree and have written before how Sarah's love for John drives much the show. I won't try and paraphrase his rationale because I can't do it justice, but his argument for family drama is sound. That being said, one of the great interplays of Terminator: TSCC was the dilemma of "who protects John?" Was it Sarah or Cameron? Man or machine? By vaulting John to the future, the producers have made a choice: robots over family. Catherine Weaver is now the guardian with Sarah totally out of the picture. End of story.
Look, no bigger Terminator fans exists than this writer. I love the franchise, love this show, do not want it canceled, and beg Fox to bring it back. A good show is a good show no matter what. But if this in the end, I think Sarah, John and company left us in a good place as fans.

The Pillars of Employee Resource Group Success
- Authors:
Publication Date:
August 2013
In theory, employee resource groups (ERGs) encourage diversity to ensure that a range of perspectives are used to achieve a company's goals. But what are the true benefits of ERGs? According to The Conference Board Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Council, employee groups can provide support in the areas of talent, corporate culture, image and reputation, and mentoring. But to do so, ERGs must have a clear mission that is connected to corporate strategy and a clearly defined leadership structure.

Not protecting home turf has Cards in tough spot
After stirring end to Game 3 victory, club sees momentum quickly shift to Red Sox
ST. LOUIS -- A sign that stood out in the sea of red was the one that read, "Rule 2.013: You Can't Obstruct Destiny."
If the Cardinals -- and their fans -- felt destiny was on their side in the immediate aftermath of that incredible obstruction-aided ending to Game 3, it's understood. October often gives us these tell-tale moments in which it appears clear that one club simply has a little more magic or momentum on its side. And so it was Saturday night, when Rule 2.00 was famously applied.
But the World Series did not end Saturday night, and now the Cards have to do everything in their power to ensure it does not end Wednesday night in Game 6 (6:30 p.m. CT air time, 7:07 first pitch on FOX). Because in the aftermath of two crushing losses in a ballpark they are usually prone to protect, they are flying back to Fenway down 3-2 to the Red Sox, a team that hasn't clinched a title at home in 95 years.
Think that will be a welcoming atmosphere for the boys from St. Louis?
"This will be legendary if we go into Boston and win two games," Adam Wainwright said. "It starts with Game 6."
The Cardinals have to hope it does, and they have a burgeoning postseason powerhouse on their side in the young Michael Wacha. That is reason enough for them to like their chances of forcing a Game 7, where anything goes.
But there's no mistaking the fact that the Cards have put themselves in a prickly predicament, and shockingly so. They hadn't lost two straight at Busch Stadium in 2 1/2 months, and they were riding a wave of determination, if not destiny, when they won Games 2 and 3.
So, how did this happen?
How did the Cardinals fall from the graces of the rule book's recesses to the frustration of a Fenway must-win?
Well, they got here, for starters, by pulling starter Lance Lynn at an inopportune time in Game 4. Cards manager Mike Matheny lost faith in Lynn when his fastball was still sturdy and a strikeout was needed against Jonny Gomes. He sided instead with Seth Maness, a contact-prone ground-ball guy with a shaky postseason showing, and it cost him when Gomes went deep.
They got here by watching Kolten Wong get picked off the bag for the final out of Game 4, while Carlos Beltran had a bat in his hands. A brutal way to end a game.

And in Game 5, they got here by contributing to the growing legend of David Ortiz, prolonging a season-long split statistic and opening themselves to yet another round of second-guessing.
Ortiz burned them right off the bat, and Wainwright's decision to pitch to the hottest hitter on the planet with a runner in scoring position was a subject of much scrutiny. Possibly, that's being overly picky, because it's hard to justify an intentional walk to anybody -- even the piping-hot Big Papi -- in the first with your ace on the hill.
But Wainwright's aggressiveness and inability to get his cut fastball past Big Papi, who pounded out an RBI double, padded Ortiz's Hall of Fame credentials and, oh yeah, gave Boston an early 1-0 lead.
"As hot as he is, I believe in my mind that I can get anybody out, and I still believe that," Wainwright explained. "[In Game 4], we pitched around him and the guy behind him [Gomes] burned us. In my mind, what we have to do is don't compound the innings, and in the first inning, the last thing I wanted to do there was put several ducks on the pond."
The Cardinals, you might have noticed, did not put many ducks on the pound in this one.
Their lack of production from the lower third of the order has been glaring enough in this Series, but their struggles tend to extend lineup-wide when a lefty gets the start. The splits don't lie: They had a .672 OPS against left-handers this season, which was fifth lowest in MLB.
Surprisingly, that wasn't an issue when they ripped into Clayton Kershaw in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series. But when guys like Jon Lester are able to run their cutter in on right-handed hitters, the Cards looked utterly flummoxed. And sans "green rosin," Lester flummoxed them for 7 2/3 innings of one-run, four-hit ball.
"The cutter is a tough pitch," said leadoff man Matt Carpenter, who combined with Shane Robinson and pinch-hitter Jon Jay to provide an 0-for-8 output atop the order. "When you combine that with a good four-seam [fastball] at 94 [mph] and a curveball to keep you off both of them, and when you're locating those three pitches, it's tough to do much against them."
Save for Matt Holliday's game-tying solo shot to the grassy knoll, where David Freese once sealed his own date with destiny, the Redbirds didn't do much at all, and that made Matheny's handling of his starter a hot topic for the second consecutive night.
With Wainwright sitting at 85 pitches through six solid innings of work, Matheny let him lead off the bottom of the inning, which was absolutely justifiable. In the seventh, though, Wainwright, who surpassed the 270-inning season total early in this one, clearly began to labor. He served up a single to Xander Bogaerts and, in the most telling example of a guy running on fumes, couldn't get his curveball over to the scuffling Stephen Drew, who drew a walk on a full count.
This would have been an opportune time for Matheny to employ the kind of no-nonsense hook he utilized with Lynn in the sixth a night earlier. Instead, Matheny rode it out, and, once again, he got bit. Wainwright gave up the ground-rule double to David Ross that basically put this one to bed, with a Jacoby Ellsbury RBI single tacked on before the inning was over.
"We liked how he was throwing," Matheny said. "We liked the fact that he had a couple of strikeouts and a popup in the previous three at-bats, and liked the way he was going about it to get us out of that."
There would be another source of second-guessing on this night, when Matheny let Pete Kozma bat in a high-leverage spot (a runner on second and one out) in the eighth. But he was short on right-handed options off the bench because the Cardinals are carrying an eight-man bullpen in which Shelby Miller and Edward Mujica have been nothing more than interested observers.
Anyway, that's not the crux of the issue here. In the grand scheme, the two primary issues at play are that the Cards didn't win with their ace in either of his World Series outings, and they didn't take care of business at Busch.
"No one said it was going to be easy this Series," Beltran said.
Indeed, we all called this Fall Classic a coin flip, but now the home-field advantage the American League earned at Citi Field this summer is as big an issue as expected. The Red Sox went 53-28 in their quirky confines in the regular season, and now their lineup will be back to full strength with the designated hitter reinstated.
The good news for St. Louis is that there are no more lefty starters on the horizon, and Wacha's fastball-changeup combo has proved as confounding to the AL elite as it was in the run-up to this Series. The Cardinals still have the superior 'pen, particularly given Red Sox lefty Craig Breslow's recent woes, and they still have a lineup that sets up well on the AL stage.
What they don't have, right now, is that momentum and magic that seemed to be on their side after Game 3.
The road toward destiny is now a daunting one.
"We have to go into Boston, their home turf," said Wainwright, "and do the same thing they did to us."

Start Garden invests $70K in five startups
Start Garden recently invested $70,000 of its $15 million seed fund in five startups.
Of that sum, three separate $20,000 investments were made in three startups that presented at Start Garden's Update Night last week.
The remaining $10,000 was split into $5,000 investments between two new startup ideas, as is Start Garden's weekly practice.
Update Night is an evening where Start Garden's funded ideas return to present on their progress and find out who makes it to the next level of funding.
Ten startups presented, and three reached the $20,000 level of funding: Sportsman Tracker, Seat Side Service and New Era Green Energy.
Sportsman Tracker
Sportsman Tracker is an idea for a mobile app that uses an algorithm to analyze hunting and fishing patterns, generating an inside scoop for users on the best places and times for hunting.
Start Garden was impressed that has grown and is being developed for multiple platforms.
"We originally doubted that hunters would want to share their best hunting locations. However, with more than 2,500 users and a one-year licensing deal, Sportsman Tracker's experiment proved us wrong," said Kim Pasquino, portfolio manager at Start Garden. "Signing a significant deal with a major sporting goods retailer really sold us. We are looking forward to seeing what Jeff and his team do next."
Seat Side Service
Seat Side Service is an idea for a mobile app for fans at a sporting event or concert to order food, drinks and other merchandise, so it can be delivered right to their seats.
Since the Seat Side Service's initial investment, its team, led by Barak Liebovitz, created partnerships with a number of stadiums and events.
"Who hasn't been to a concert or sporting event and wanted your food and drinks delivered straight to your seat? Seat Side Service delivered a service that worked well, and people were able to avoid long concession lines," Pasquino said. "Great results are tough to pull off, and we are eager to see the next phase of Barak's experiment."
New Era Green Energy
New Era Green Energy isn't an app, but the idea behind the business venture founded by Wayne Craker is to create a new and better approach to anaerobic digestion, allowing any organic waste to be digested at a faster rate, with high quality methane gas and liquid fertilizer produced as a byproduct.
"New Era has an exciting technology, and we love the biomimicry of a cow's stomach happening with the 'super bacteria'," said Rick DeVos, Start Garden's founder. "Ordinarily, this is the stage when we would encourage inventors to team with other businesses, and we are pleased to see Wayne is already working with Organicycle, another Start Garden portfolio company."
GAPro System
The Start Garden's team invested $5,000 into GAPro System.
GAPro System is an idea for a web- and mobile-based platform for the property and casualty insurance industry, which would centralize existing silos of compliance information to accept, verify and store policy data quickly and on a subscription basis.
"(This allows the) industry to reduce effort and cost by 80 percent of today's $36 billion compliance cost. By sharing and communicating data through the platform, GAPro gives insurance carriers and agencies an opportunity to get a return on their data without the high cost of IT infrastructure and integration," writes idea creator Herb Gibson on his Start Garden page.
"GAPro centralizes all policy data to create standardization, efficiency and compliance that leads to significant cost and time savings," Gibson writes. "This low-cost solution scales rapidly into other areas."
The Ultraflex Series
The Start Garden community voted to award $5,000 to The Ultraflex Series, an idea for outdoor and military footwear that would be lightweight and terrain responsive.
"I've worked with talented engineers and designers to create the Ultraflex series and offer versatility in footwear by replacing old-school sole construction with a lightweight hybrid smart assembly. . . a terrain-responsive sole that absorbs and distributes impact to keep you trekking on the roughest terrain, without the bulk of a traditional boot," writes idea creator Brian Schuster on his Start Garden page.
"Rather than manufacturing and selling gear independently, we will take advantage of established brands by licensing the UltraFlex trademark, design patent and utility patent," Schuster writes. "We have already met or spoken with footwear executives at Feelgoodz, Vibram USA and McRae Footwear."

Egypt's Brotherhood keeps protests alive
CAIRO (AP) — Graffiti around the Egyptian capital proclaim the Muslim Brotherhood's call for new anti-military protests Sunday — dotting walls, light poles and signposts for miles down main avenues and near the presidential palace from which the group was ousted three months ago. It's an impressive show of survival, giving the image that the Brotherhood is everywhere, just under the surface.
But the Brotherhood is in an existential crisis, unsure how to adapt under the heaviest crackdown since the 1960s, carried out by a new military-backed government determined to end the group, at least in the form it has been in for the past 85 years.
With neither side interested in talking for now, the Brotherhood's crippled leadership is reduced to minimizing its losses until it finds an exit from the crisis. It is turning to its international leaders for help in decision-making and waging a campaign of persistent, if small protests to prove it cannot be crushed.
Few political organizations in the world have undergone a reversal as dramatic as the Muslim Brotherhood. It was the dominant force of Egypt's fledgling democracy after the 2011 fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak. It rode the first free elections to win the presidency and parliament, and was poised to mold the country to its vision. Now, three months after the military coup that removed President Mohammed Morsi, it has been virtually decapitated, much of its leadership in prison, the rest in hiding and on the run.
Morsi has languished in military detention, unseen by the outside world, since the July 3 coup. He faces trial, as do the Brotherhood's top leaders and some 2,000 other jailed members.
The Brotherhood's nationwide network of members has fled underground, and the group that often boasted it represents the real Egypt finds itself vilified by government officials, the media and a large sector of the Egyptian public as extremists and terrorists.
Now it and the new government are locked into what is effectively a long, possibly violent process that will determine how the Brotherhood could fit into a democracy that those who toppled Morsi say they want to build. Many Egyptians say Morsi's year in power proved the Brotherhood is fundamentally undemocratic and seeks only to monopolize power. Hard-line Brotherhood opponents say it can have no place in politics, but moderates recognize it cannot be permanently repressed in a truly free system.
The Brotherhood's long-term aim is to preserve the tight-knit, largely secretive structure of cadres, businesses and charities that made it a wealthy political powerhouse. Eventually, many Brotherhood members believe, the interim government will have to back down to ensure stability as it tackles Egypt's multiple woes, particularly the struggling economy.
"This economic crisis won't end unless calm is restored to the street, through some kind of a political deal," said Islam Tawfiq, a Brotherhood youth member who coordinates with its senior figures.
For now, each side is using what cards it has to pressure the other. Late last month, a court ordered a sweeping ban on the Brotherhood. But the order is caught up in appeals and so far, authorities have been vague over implementing it — apparently a maneuver to keep the threat hanging over the group. So far, for example, the Brotherhood's political party has not been declared dissolved.
The Brotherhood is angling to endure a crackdown that — while painful — also helps keep group cohesion under the pressure of a shared plight. It has publicly stuck to its most hard-line demands — the reinstatement of Morsi as president and restoration of the Morsi-era constitution. Even some Brotherhood members recognize the possibility for that has passed. But the group uses the demands to energize its members and keep up street pressure as leverage in any eventual negotiations, which could bring concessions like easing the crackdown or releasing jailed members.
The disarray in the Brotherhood leadership complicates the situation. Two prominent Brotherhood figures, Amr Darrag and Mohammed Bishr, have met repeatedly with European foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who has also been talking to the military and government. But Brotherhood members on the ground repeatedly deny Bishr or Darrag speak for them.
Decision-making is not in the hands of the imprisoned leadership, said Tharwat el-Kharbawi, once a prominent Brotherhood member who broke from the group years ago but maintains contacts inside it.
Instead, the group has set up a crisis committee that is at least partially abroad, including figures from the group's international branches, he said. Some of the group's public statements now come from an office in London. Brotherhood deputy leader Mahmoud Ezzat — the highest-ranking figure not in prison, though he is in hiding — is also playing a major role, el-Kharbawi said.
The new government has so far shown little interest in compromise as it pushes ahead with a transition plan, working to amend the constitution and preparing for presidential and parliamentary elections due early next year.
But there are differences over how far to take the crackdown — whether to outright crush the Brotherhood or just leave it as a reduced political force, breaking its networks and forcing it to drop its historical, secretive program.
Security agencies are the most intent on destroying the group, said Ziad el-Oleimi, a revolutionary activist and former lawmaker who belongs to a political party that is in the interim government. The military and intelligence agencies, he said, are "smarter" and realize a security fist won't work in post-revolution Egypt. "They realize there are new parties that have a stake in the political process. They realize they must find a way to contain them or they will blow up in their face," el-Oleimi said.
From the civilian politician side, interim Deputy Prime Minister Ziad Bahaa-Eldin has put forward initiatives to find a political solution but met resistance from security officials, el-Oleimi said.
El-Kharbawi and el-Oleimi said they believe the remaining Brotherhood leadership is open to some compromise. But at the same time, they have fired up the Brotherhood youth with promises of victory to keep the protest movement going.
"Going back without any gains will not be accepted by the youth," el-Kharbawi said.
Almost daily, small Brotherhood protests are held, usually by a few dozen youth. On Tuesday night, a small band entered Tahrir Square for the first time since Morsi's ouster, making a symbolic foray into the country's most prominent political stage.
Sunday's planned protests are touted as a major new push, coinciding with commemorations of Egypt's Oct. 6 opening strike in the 1973 war with Israel. The day is likely to also bring major rallies in support of the military and its chief, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, opening the possibility of new clashes. The Brotherhood talks of a new march on Tahrir and of setting up new sit-in camps, like those that the security forces broke up on Aug. 14 with assaults that left hundreds of Morsi supporters dead.
In a show of bravado, the Brotherhood issued a sharply worded statement Thursday, urging Egyptian soldiers to rebel against their commanders. It compared "the leaders of the bloody coup" to Adolph Hitler, the Roman emperor Nero and other historic tyrants.
"There will be an escalation against the coup," said Tawfiq, the Brotherhood youth figure. "We will go down in the streets and we may not come back until the president is reinstated."

Why GOP is devouring one book
There aren't any sex scenes or vampires, and it won't help you lose weight.
But House Republicans are tearing through the pages of Amity Shlaes' "The Forgotten Man" like soccer moms before book club night.
Story Continued Below
Shlaes' 2007 take on the Great Depression questions the success of the New Deal and takes issue with the value of government intervention in a major economic crisis — red meat for a party hungry for empirical evidence that the Democrats' spending plans won't end the current recession.
"There aren't many books that take a negative look at the New Deal," explained Republican policy aide Mike Ference, whose boss, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia, invited Shlaes to join a group of 20 or so other House Republicans for lunch earlier this year in his Capitol suite.
"Republicans are gobbling it up — and so are other lawmakers — because it tells you what they did, what worked and what didn't."
"It's been suggested as required reading for all of us, I think," said Erica Elliott, press secretary for Rep. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.) — who himself notes that his chief of staff "stole" his hardback copy, so he had to purchase a paperback.
Garrett said the book "is a good read" that details, among other things, "how FDR engaged in vitriolic demonizing of Wall Street and Big Business to advance his agenda."
Also, he jokes, "it had good pictures when you get to the middle."
Reader chat with Amity Shlaes
"A guess: with less govt intervention overall from Presidents Bush and Obama, and Congress, we would have had a worse plummet and a faster recovery."
"The Forgotten Man" is currently out of stock at The Trover Shop, the bookstore closest to the House side of the Capitol. Co-owner Al Schuman said sales haven't been off the charts but added: "If all my books sold that well, I'd be a rich man."
It's not hard to see what Republicans find compelling about the book. Shlaes, a columnist at Bloomberg, a senior fellow in economic history at the Council on Foreign Relations and a former editorial board member at The Wall Street Journal, presents a vision of the Great Depression that challenges the conventional wisdom that casts Herbert Hoover as a goat, FDR as a hero and the New Deal as the country's salvation.
It also looks at the Great Depression with particular sympathy upon the plight of those who were burdened with supporting the "weak members of society" during the New Deal and endeavors to give a voice to those "forgotten men."
To some, that voice sounds a lot like a rallying cry. Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) quoted from the book's epigraph during a recent news conference related to the mortgage cramdown bill, referencing William Graham Sumner's definition of the "forgotten man": "He works; he votes; generally, he prays — but he always pays."
"Now, the forgotten man today is the taxpayer," Bachus said. "It's discussed and it's decided that we are going to help this individual or corporation out, we propose a law, and guess what, it's the forgotten man today who always pays for someone else's mistake. He pays his mortgage on time, but he has to pay someone else's mortgage."

While supermarkets compete over the price of milk, farmers step out of the ring and compete with quality.
Since dairy industry deregulation, farmers have been able to bottle their own milk. And due to the milk war, many more have begun. But they're not just creating a product—it's a matter of survival.
Farmers can't afford to produce milk selling at unsustainable prices.
Coles began the milk war on Australia Day in 2011, pricing its private label milk at $1 per litre. The result? Farmers received lower farm gate prices, and over 140 Queensland dairy farmers left the industry. In contrast, Coles reported record profits and its CEO received $15 million a year.

Woolworths followed suit, reducing the price of their milk, and suggested their hand was forced. They even created a new premium private label, stamped with the faces of local dairy farmers. Is this milk good and fair? Ask yourself, who owns the trademark and processor? Where is the milk distributed? During contract renewal, are the farmers replaceable?
These products share the shelves with a cacophony of brands. Just a few multinational corporations—Fonterra (New Zealand), Kirin (Japan) and Lactalis (France)—are responsible for manufacturing these. While the packaging spruik health claims, its contents are often sugar-rich, and taste like disappointment.
So you see there's much more to farmhouse milk than deliciousness—although it really is! Say goodbye to mediocre and say hello to flavour! Because more people are discovering real milk from small local dairies, as time passes, more farmers will join.
We'll win the battle and the milk war!
My tip? For distinctive flavour, seek unhomogenised milk, pasteurised at a low temperature, from a single farm. For creaminess, choose a Jersey or Guernsey herd. For a better world, support those who cultivate rich soil, minimise plastic and prioritise animal welfare.
Look for these brands at farmers' markets and local independents near you. Taste the difference and tell your friends!
Support local farmers and eat delicious fresh food to boot! Check the other directories: milk, eggs, pork, fruit and vegetables, garlic, turkeys and chickens.

Just woke out of my slumber and found that the world is a different place from where I left off. Apple is launching bugs, people are jumping from insane heights and most importantly Indian politicians turned scientists have come up with new reasons on why rape actually happens in India. Not quite a HowStuffWorks for rape but the reasons are, well, different. Here are some:
Top reasons for rape – Chowmein, short dresses, eloping, 'fraternisation between sexes', women working after 8PM and the list goes on.
On all occasions, the blame is fairly and squarely on the wrong sex. Rape is getting new attention from the media. Maybe because of the startling new statistic: A woman is raped every 22 minutes in India. Only 1 in 4 men accused of the crime is convicted.
Rape is an ongoing debate. There is no denying that. It should probably get more coverage than it actually gets. But wrong coverage isn't what we want. Firstpost, an online publisher, has done just that. Out of the blue it has pulled Arvind Kejriwal into this rape debate with a post titled : "Dear Arvind Kejriwal, what about rape?". Now you know where the title for this post is coming from.
Arvind Kejriwal is the crusader who is fighting against corruption in India. After fighting together with Anna Hazare, Mr. Kejriwal took a detour (from the movement's origins, not from the mission) and will soon be forming a political party. On the way he has gone against the dynasty (Kejriwal has put a new spotlight on the assets of Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law), which no one has ever done successfully. All in all a movement worth tracking.
I have but few questions for Firstpost.
- Why is Firstpost piling up on Kejriwal?
- Why isn't Firstpost writing a letter to the PM or Sonia Gandhi for that matter?
- Most importantly why isn't Firstpost covering rape as often as it should?
I have done a quick google search with these queries :
rape site:firstpost.com
gandhi site:firstpost.com
Kejriwal site:firstpost.com
The results are astonishing. 421,000 results turned up for rape; 19,000,000 results turned up for Kejriwal; 24, 300,000 results turned up for Sonia Gandhi.
As it turns, Firstpost doesn't pay much attention to rape as much as it does to Kejriwal or Sonia Gandhi.
So I am asking again : Dear Firstpost, what about rape? #JustSaying
PS: A slightly modified but more accurate version of the Google search query has yielded similar results. Queries uses : intitle:rape site:firstpost.com, intitle:sonia gandhi site:firstpost.com, intitle:arvind kejriwal site:firstpost.com.
PPS: Chowmein was trending on Twitter at the time of writing this post. The tweets are really interesting.

Some more good news for gamers interested in using 120Hz 3D capable monitors for gaming in 2D mode and not in stereo 3D, aside from the Nvidia 3D Vision-ready 3D Lightboost-capable 3D monitors it turns out that Samsung's more recent 3D displays also use a similar strobe backlight mode that apparently also eliminate motion blur when activated even in 2D mode. Mark Rejhon reports on his blog that the Samsung S23A700D, S23A950D and S27A950D 3D monitors use a strobe backlight mode similar to 3D Lightboost that can be used on both AMD Radeon and Nvidia GeForce graphics in 2D mode and when activated you can get a significant reduction in motion blur compared to when using one of these Samsung monitors in 120Hz refresh in 2D mode. Just like the case with 3D Lightboost here the strobe backlight feature was probably originally designed to improve the stereoscopic 3D performance of these monitors, but later on users find that it can also benefit 2D gamers as well finally bringing a good alternative to CRT displays for high refresh rate gaming in 2D mode. On Samsung's 3D monitors however the input lag seems to be more than on a 3D Lightboost monitor, still if you already have one of the compatible Samsung 3D-capable displays why not take advantage of the strobe backlight in 2D mode as well.
Instructions for Samsung 3D monitors:
– Set the refresh rate of the dislay to 120 Hz mode.
– Change "Response Time" to "Normal" from the monitor's OSD menu.
– Turn on "3D" via the monitor's OSD menu and select, frame-sequential mode.
– Keep using the monitor even for 2D gaming.
Note: On some computer configurations, your monitor might turn off when entering and exiting video games. If this happens, simply turn on your monitor again.
– Visit Mark Rejhon's blog for more information about motion blur elimination…
