We have not had an architecture post in some time. This occasion certainly calls for it:
César Pelli, the acclaimed architect who designed some of the world's most distinct buildings, including the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles, the Torre de Cristal in Madrid and the Petronas Towers in Malaysia, died on Friday at age 92.
The governor of Pelli's home province of Tucuman, Argentina, Juan Manzur, confirmed the architect's death on Twitter.
"With much regret we received the sad news of the death of the great Architect César Pelli," Manzur tweeted. "I want to extend my condolences to all his family, his friends and his team."
Pelli studied architecture at the Universidad Nacional de Tucuman and graduated in 1949. Pelli moved with his wife, Spanish landscape architect Diana Balmori, to the United States in 1952, on a scholarship to attend the University of Illinois. He became a U.S. citizen in 1964.
Upon obtaining his degree from Illinois, Pelli began working with Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen. Together, they designed the famous TWA terminal at New York's Idlewild airport, now known as John F. Kennedy airport.
In the 1960s, working for the firms DMJM and Gruen Associates California, Pelli began exploring his signature modernist style, crafting sleek, glass and steel skyscrapers. His bright-blue, glass-enclosed Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles, completed in 1975, is one of Pelli's most iconic designs.
Pelli was asked to serve as dean of the Yale School of Architecture in 1977. That same year, he opened his own firm, César Pelli & Associates, in New Haven, Conn., and received the coveted opportunity to design the expansion of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
His MoMA renovation received mixed reviews, with some critics saying it lacked the ambition and innovation present in Pelli's other work. After its 1984 completion, architecture critic Paul Goldberger wrote in The New York Times that the building "is not as avant-garde by today's standards as the 1939 structure was in its time. In fact, it is not avant-garde at all, any more than most of the modern art within the museum."
Despite the criticism, that design opened the door for Pelli and his firm to take on more high-profile projects shaping the skylines of cities around the globe. The Unicredit Tower in Milan, the One Canada Square in London and the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco are all Pelli designs.
In 1991, Pelli was named one of the 10 most influential living American architects by the American Institute of Architects. In 1995, he won the Gold Medal from the American Institute of Architects.
Considered one of Pelli's crowning achievements, the Malaysian Petronas Towers were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004. The glittering 88-floor, glass-facade structures were designed to evoke motifs from Islamic art.

Morning Consult released their latest batch of polling, and after weeks of discussion over Senator Kamala Harris' debate performance, Elizabeth Warren's move to 3rd or 4th depending on poll, and Joe Biden having an unsteady few week, the numbers reveal....not much has changed.
Our latest Democratic primary tracking data is live:
Biden: 32% (+1)
Sanders: 19%
Warren: 14% (+1)
Harris: 13% (-1)
Buttigieg: 5% (-1)
O'Rourke: 3%
Booker: 2%
Yang: 2%https://t.co/19xcvc2eMC
— Morning Consult (@MorningConsult) July 16, 2019
Bernie Sanders has found his floor, sitting at 20%ish since the beginning of May. Harris had a slight uptick post debate, but has fallen back, and it looks like her and Warren are divying up the exact votes the other needs to make a run at Biden. There are three tiers of presidential hopefuls right now: the three Senators fighting for second place, the rest of the mess bumping around much lower, and Joe Biden all alone with a healthy lead. Heading into next round of debates, it's important to remember what looks amazing in the moment, like Kamala Harris' attack on Biden, might not reflect soon after in the polls.Comment →

Meanwhile, in non President Trump vs "The Squad" news, current Democratic primary frontrunner Joe Biden was unveiling his healthcare proposal, and the tagline he laid on the folks at an AARP gathering sounds strangely familiar.
Comment →
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Monday said that under his new health care plan, people who like their insurance coverage won't be forced to give it up.
Speaking at the AARP presidential forum in Iowa, Biden drew a contrast between his plan, which would give people a Medicare-like public option, and the "Medicare for All" plan championed by more progressive Democratic presidential candidates including Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.).
"If you like your health care plan, your employer based plan, you can keep it. If in fact you have private insurance, you can keep it," Biden said.
Biden's speech echoed the now-infamous "if you like your doctor, you're going to be able to keep your doctor" catchphrase former President Barack Obama repeatedly said in 2009 and 2010 when he was trying to sell the public on the benefits of the Affordable Care Act.
The GOP seized on those remarks, and spent years throwing them back at Democrats to showcase what they said were ObamaCare's failures. In 2013, PolitiFact called "if you like your health care plan, you can keep it" the "Lie of the Year."
But the law has provided 20 million people with health insurance, and it's now more popular than ever.
Biden is running on protecting ObamaCare. He is banking the law's popularity will convince voters that his plan of shoring up the law with more subsidies and a public option is a better approach than Medicare for All.
"You get your choice, you get full coverage … I think it's the quickest, most reasonable rational and best way to get to universal coverage," he said.
In formally announcing his plan on Monday, Biden equated the push for Medicare for All with the GOP attempts to repeal ObamaCare.
"I understand the appeal of Medicare for All, but folks supporting it should be clear that it means getting rid of ObamaCare, and I'm not for that," Biden said in a video announcing his plan.

The head many have been calling for since the details of Jeffrey Epstein's plea deal were first reported has finally rolled:
Comment →
President Donald Trump alerted reporters this morning of Acosta's departure. "This was him, not me," said Trump as Acosta stood beside him.
Trump, who saw Acosta largely as a source of favorable monthly statistics about unemployment and job growth, called Acosta "a great labor secretary not a good one" and "a tremendous talent. He's a Hispanic man, he went to Harvard, a great student." Trump indicated that he was satisfied with Acosta's explanation for the plea deal in Wednesday's news conference, saying, "He explained it."
But Acosta has had a rocky relationship in recent months with other White House officials, including acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, over the perceived slow pace of deregulation at the department. And one person familiar with the situation said that although Trump initially thought Acosta handled the Epstein controversy well, over the last couple of days the president saw the negative press and didn't like it.
"POTUS is not a fan of bad press, especially when other people make him look bad," this person said.
Acosta, a 50-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer, came newly under fire for the lenient 2008 plea deal after Epstein was re-arrested July 6 in New York City and charged with sex trafficking. Under the earlier plea agreement, Epstein served only 13 months of an 18-month term and was permitted daily furloughs to go to the office. Epstein also was required to register as a sex offender and to pay restitution to his underage victims.
At the White House this morning, Acosta told reporters: "Over the last week I've seen a lot of coverage of the department of labor. And what I have not seen is the incredible job creation that we've seen in this economy. more than 5 million jobs, I haven't seen that.... I do not think it is right and fair for this administration's labor department to have Epstein as the focus, rather than the incredible economy that we have today."
A horrible story raises age-old questions about regulation, medical care, and people who make money insisting they know better than trained professionals.
At about 9:15 p.m. June 15, Omaha Fire Department paramedics were called to a home where a 25-year-old woman at full term in her pregnancy was in distress following complications during a breech birth.
The woman told police she went into labor at about 9 p.m. June 14. Hock reportedly arrived to help with the birth at 6 p.m. June 15, according to a criminal complaint.
After realizing the baby's foot had been delivered, the mother told detectives that Hock asked her whether to continue with the birth at home "and stated she had trained in delivering breech babies," court documents state.
The mother agreed to continue at home but said that after at least 30 minutes, the baby had only been delivered up to the shoulders, the documents state. That's when Hock advised calling 911.
When police arrived, they found Hock assisting the pregnant woman and asking for medical scissors, court documents state. Paramedics said the baby was partially delivered at that time and that Hock performed a medical procedure during her attempt to deliver the baby.
The baby, delivered by paramedics while en route to a hospital, was limp and unresponsive, according to the criminal complaint. Resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful.
The baby was taken to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit upon arrival at the hospital and placed on life support, the documents state.
The obstetrics doctor in the ER that night reported to police that the baby was deprived of oxygen and suffered swelling in the brain and indicated the infant could die as a result of the injuries.
The doctor told officers Hock had revealed she was at the scene serving as a midwife, a service she advertises through her company's website, Nebraska Birth Keeper, and "had known for a couple hours that the baby was in breech" position but continued with the birthing process for an hour before 911 was called, the court documents state.
The baby was pronounced dead June 17.
A warrant was issued for Hock's arrest when it was determined by Nebraska Health and Human Services that she does not hold a medical or certified nurse-midwife license.
The mother told investigators she had signed an agreement for Hock's midwife services and that she and her husband had paid Hock about $3,000 to $4,000 for those services.
Home births are illegal in Nebraska. This was the second time the Noes had used Ms. Hock in the birthing of a child. That pregnancy as well resulted in a breech birth, and the Noe's opted for the hospital and a C-Section delivery.
Comment →
The couple paid about $4,000 for Ms. Hock's services, according to Mr. Dornan, who said Ms. Hock served as a midwife when Ms. Noe gave birth to another child two years earlier.
"They wanted to have a birth in their bedroom," Mr. Dornan said. "Didn't want to go to the hospital."
Similar complications arose during the earlier pregnancy with a breech baby, he said, and Ms. Noe opted to have a C-section at the hospital after Ms Hock advised her of the risks. This time, he said, Ms. Hock once again warned Ms. Noe of the risks of a breech birth, but that she had opted to remain at home.
Mr. Dornan said Ms. Hock tried a maneuver to dislodge the baby, but was unsuccessful. She was accompanied by her 9-year-old daughter and a doula, who Mr. Dornan said called 911.
When the emergency responders arrived at the home, Mr. Dornan said, they gave Ms. Hock a pair of scissors to try to help make a wider opening for the baby, which is considered to be a surgical procedure and is mentioned in the criminal complaint against his client.

Today I caught the 10:12 train from 22nd Street. It's the first time I've had the energy to take the train to work since returning from Southeast Asia almost two weeks ago, which is a relief, but significant is that it was such a late train. Why the dilly-dally? Of course, I watched the inauguration.
Wow! I am still wrapping my head around the fact that we elected an intelligent, articulate President of the United States. In this nation known for its lack of interest in national and foreign affairs, of its low standards of education, of its rampant antiintellectualism, it took a remarkable alignment of the fates to give us someone who can express ideas as effectively, directly, and coherently as Barack Hussein Obama. As Obama gave the oath of office, thrown only momentarily by the Justice Roberts' blunder, subsequently corrected, I was thinking ahead with anticipation to the speech which would follow. A feel-good, inspire-the-troops, don't rock any boats performance would be the usual thing. Leave policy and politics for tomorrow. But no -- Barack didn't deliver the canonical stream of vacuity. He came out and set the tone for what promises to be the sort of Presidency nobody of my generation or later has ever seen.
That he wasn't going to pull punches was hinted at a few minutes earlier. The oath was administered to Barack Hussein Obama. The message was clear: this age of racist fear-mongering was over as of 12:05 EST. As of now, a man or woman can embrace with confidence their heritage, whether it's black or Muslim or anything else. And his speech supported this. He referred to America as a nation not just of Christians, who so many view as the only rightful citizens, but also of Muslims and Hindus and even non-believers. Non-believers? I'd earlier said to Cara I thought it was remarkable a black man had been elected president. More remarkable would be a woman, more remarkable than that a gay man, more remarkable than that an atheist. Even the Obamas brought the symbols of the Christian Nation to the inauguration, from the mandatory morning church attendance, to Michelle's clutched bible, to the invocation's call to Jesus Christ by several of his names. Perhaps the Obamas embrace of Christianity is sincere and not just expedient. Perhaps I'm too cynical. But the words, and the sincerity they carried, were hard to ignore. It's hard to not hope for a bit more acceptance and open-mindedness, if nothing else from the youngest of our society, to replace the xenophobia of the older generations as the older generations die off.
Further, he was unambiguous about the need for our nation to reduce its use of resources. Less consumption. This is a radical change in the past where consumption has been associated with economic strength. By definition, less consumption means less GDP, the primary measure of well-being. People could be dying in the streets and if real per-capita GDP was on the upswing, George "W" Bush would be declaring victory from the White House. Is it possible, are we finally willing to acknowledge there's more to life, to our earth, than the dollar-equivalent-value of how much we destroy? I dare not hope for too much: consumerism is so heavily entrenched, from our lifetimes of exposure to daily marketing, from a fanatical adherence to the religion of self-absorption and property rights, that change can only come slowly. Is slow change enough? Well, I'll take any change versus the last eight, sixteen, twenty-eight years. Not since Carter has a President called for us to reduce our rate of resource consumption.
The power in this nation, in the end, is with the people. Rally the public, and your cause will prevail. No amount of money and influence can overrule the people's will: rather it's the power of the money and influence to sway that will, or more commonly to distract it and fragment it with trivial issues or fears. Yet if anyone can hold the public's attention, it's Obama. The man is inspiring to any except the most hardened cynic. I hope he has the strength and determination and integrity to follow through. If he does, we're getting so much more than we deserve.

When three filmmakers started out to make a small documentary four years ago, they could hardly imagine their labor of love would become a feature-length production and the biggest art-house hit of 2004. William Arntz, Betsy Chasse and Mark Vicente simply wanted to bring their ideas about the nature of reality into the mainstream and get the public talking. Their docudrama "What the Bleep Do We Know!?, " (http://www.whatthebleep.com) which views consciousness through the lens of quantum physics, eventually won every independent film festival award it was nominated for, and it's guaranteed to find an even larger audience now that it has been released on home video and DVD.
The film combines a host of storytelling techniques--including animation, computer-generated images and interviews with more than a dozen articulate scientists and thinkers--to explore the mind's ability to directly participate in the creation of reality. We hear from such experts as David Albert, Joe Dispenza, Amit Goswami, John Hagelin, Stuart Hameroff, Miceal Ledwith, Daniel Monti, Andrew B. Newberg, Candace Pert, Jeffrey Satinover, William Tiller and Fred Allen Wolf. Also offering insights is JZ Knight, a 59-year-old woman from Washington State who, since 1978, has been channeling Ramtha, a 35,000-year-old warrior from Atlantis. He teaches the divinity of humans and the synthesis of science and spirituality. Many of those associated with "What the Bleep?" are Ramtha followers.
Among the ideas these physicists, biologists, neurologists, philosophers and scholars postulate are that matter is completely insubstantial, people can be addicted to emotions, and that time need not flow in one direction. The film's most notable message, though, is the proposition that our perception of reality may be a mental fabrication. If this is true, then that perception can be transformed by simply altering the attitudes we hold about ourselves--attitudes that are often damaging to our self-esteem. Clinicians today call this technique cognitive behavior therapy, and it has become a popular method for treating a variety of emotional and behavioral problems, including depression, anxiety and substance abuse. The filmmakers, however, have taken their cue not from psychotherapy but from quantum mechanics, which states that observation can alter phenomena.
Weaving the interviews and other material together is a dramatic narrative starring Marlee Matlin as a dour professional photographer who leads an uninspired existence in Portland, Oregon. Matlin's character, Amanda, relies on antidepressants to get her through each day and each job assignment. The film cleverly interjects Amanda into explanations of how the consciousness of the observer affects the reality seen, thus vividly illustrating each important point. The movie is unrated, but probably would come in at "PG-13." Reviewers were either against it or loved it.
"What the Bleep?" expresses ideas that have been promulgated by a number of thinkers in recent decades. In The Tao of Physics (1975), for example, physicist Fritjof Capra ties Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism together with Western science and notes how much quantum physics and metaphysics have in common. Deepak Chopra examines the link between physics and Hinduism in Quantum Healing (1989). In his 1995 book The Self-Aware Universe, Amit Goswami uses quantum physics to promote the theory that mind and matter both have their origins in consciousness, which he argues is the ground of all being. While the film does an admirable job of demonstrating this link, the science sometimes comes a little too fast to keep up with.
Moreover, it fails to mention that the founders of quantum physics, who developed the science a century ago, did not believe there was any connection between physics and mysticism. Ken Wilbur, author of Quantum Questions: Mystical Writings of the World's Great Physicists (1984), asserts that although the founders of quantum physics--Niels Bohr, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Max Plank, and others--were all mystics in their own way, they were virtually unanimous in declaring that modern physics offers no proof of mysticism or transcendentalism. Plank, for example, believed that science and religion deal with two very different dimensions of existence. (Plank is credited with inventing quantum physics, which tries to explain how subatomic particles work, in 1900.)
As pure cinema, "What the Bleep?" is by no means a stunning achievement. The acting is wooden and the humor is sophomoric. Also, many in the scientific community have derided the film's simplistic approach to physics and, not surprisingly, its New Age pedigree. Yet one cannot deny its boldness, and that's where it succeeds, challenging the audience to consider the nature of reality--which may explain why so many spiritually-minded thinkers have embraced it. With its blend of science and existential pondering, "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" is best as a shared experience and is guaranteed to inspire some engaging conversations.

We are at war because of unintelligent intelligence. We are paying more than $10 billion of our tax dollars to Iraq monthly to support a country that has trillions of dollars in oil reserves. Because of one political blunder after another, we have lost our repurtation as a world leader. We are suffering from the third world stock market crash in the last 100 years. Our nation is $10 trillion in debt and we continue to print money that make our dollars worthless. We spend more than $1 billion a day to pay the interest on that debt.

The President regularly attends his daughter's Saturday morning basketball games in a suburban Maryland gym, and this week he stepped in and tried his hand at some coaching when the regular parent volunteer wasn't able to. Sasha, however, wasn't there; she's skiing in Colorado with her mother, sister, and some friends. Cameras aren't allowed inside the gym, and thus no pictures of our Girls' Basketball Coach-In-Chief exist, nor do we know whether Obama had them run a triangle two defense against the other team's guard-reliant offense. We also don't know about his coaching style, whether he was more of a simmering, angry Satan like Mike Krzyzewski or a chair throwing Bobby Knight-esque madman or a calm Colonel Sanders Phil Jackson type. What kind of a coach do you think Obama would be?

Apple's event struck the most high notes this year; although they didn't have a single new product release that will rattle walls across the Mac world, they did deliver upgrades all down the line of their key postproduction models, which should produce noticeable tremors for just about anyone who's doing video or audio editing, graphics production, or DVD authoring on the Mac platform.
The big-picture announcement from the Apple camp was the much-anticipated public debut of "Tiger," the new version of OS X. And while it's easy to deride the pep rally atmosphere of any trade show Mac demo, there's no denying that Tiger looks mighty cool. A new search function called Spotlight is well-nigh mindblowing in action; it's a real time application which actually starts delivering results as soon as you start punching in your search terms—and those results encompass your entire hard drive, by all appearances. Also new in Tiger are dashboard "widgets"; the idea here is that you click on your Dashboard icon (which looks a bit like a panel of taichometers, speedometers, odometers etc. on an automobile dashboard) while you're working in FCP and Tiger instantly opens a variety of "widgets" like Web sites reporting weather info and the like. I'm not real sure what's the point here, but the demo certainly drew its share of applause.
With Tiger also comes the debut of the H.264-based QuickTime 7, which has two instantly apparent strengths: the ability to deliver HD-quality video at 8.5Mbps, and its implementation in a new, OS-based videoconferencing utility called iChat AV. Frank Casanova's demo highlighted the advantages of iChat AV for real-time digital daily review in disparate cutting rooms—the effect of which, at least in the demo, was nothing short of awesome.
Also coming into focus in Apple's big picture was the heartily welcomed Final Cut Studio, a new four-application digital video and audio postproduction suite in the tradition of the Adobe Video Collection and Avid Xpress Studio. Just as remarkable as the notion that there now is such a thing as a Final Cut suite is the fact that all the applications found therein are full-step upgrades. First and foremost is Final Cut Pro 5, which boasts a host of new features and a catchy rallying cry: "Edit anything, wait for nothing." They've dropped the HD from its name but upped the ante for native HD support in the product. The three standout features, from where I was sitting, are the following:
First runner-up behind the big three is multichannel audio support; Apple now promises 24-bit/96KHz support, one-pass multi-channel capture, and 24-channel audio I/O.
During the FCP demo, Apple shared the stage with some powerful friends—not just Sony, whose contributions to the recent insurgence of prosumer HD via HDV are well-documented, but also Panasonic, who shocked more than a few attendees by introducing a new HD camcorder that is not the $2,500 HDV version of the DVX-100A that many had anticipated. Panasonic's new entry, the AG-HVX200, which may prove the signature announcement of the show, actually aims a little higher—uncompressed HD—for $5,995. The camera, which is due to ship in Q4 2005, actually supports a range of formats, including DV, DVCPro, DVCPro 50, DVCPro HD, and the gamut of interlaced and non-interlaced SD and HD video resolutions and frame rates. The 1/3", native 16:9, three-chip camera records to P2 memory (another big push for Panasonic at this show) and DV tape.
But we digress. The other elements of the Final Cut Pro Studio suite are Motion 2 (whose big news is the ability to map behaviors to a MIDI keyboard for animating to a beat or soundtrack), Soundtrack Pro (a dramatically revamped application that now boasts 5,000+ cinematic effects and Apple loops, and features round-trip audio editing of clips from the FCP timeline), and DVD Studio Pro 4. Like DVD Studio 3, DVD SP 4 is not the spruced-up, breakthrough upgrade that DVD SP 2 was, but it has some cool new features, including support for "HD-DVD" authoring using H.264 and optical flow image analysis for improved format conversions.
Pricing for the Studio suite and its components breaks down as follows: $999 for FCP 5, same as always; $299 for Motion 2; $299 for Soundtrack Pro; $499 for DVD SP 4; and $1,299 for the full Final Cut Studio suite. Registered users of FCP HD or earlier can upgrade to the entire suite for $699; if they also have Motion or Soundtrack, the upgrade price drops to $499. Apple says Tiger will be available on April 29; Final Cut Studio and all its individual applications are currently promised for shipping sometime in May.
Sony's Sunday press event, a meandering trip down "The HD Highway," wasn't quite so eventful. We learned that a lot of second-tier broadcast execs like Sony, as repeated testimonials amply demonstrated. The biggest Sony announcement was the company's new XDCAM HD camcorder, which uses a pro optical disc format (Sony's XDCAM Pro Disc media) for storage that's very similar to the forthcoming Blu-ray; TDK will also provide media for the camera.
Sony's other significant NAB introductions are Vegas 6 (see Vegas story) and the VRDVC20, the new version of the Editor's Choice-winning DVDirect. Essential new features (filling the two important gaps in the original) are FireWire I/O and support for recording to DVD-R/RW.
Avid kicked off its event with a brief exposition on the biggest events at Avid that they can't really talk about yet: the Pinnacle acquisition that won't be final until sometime this summer. According to Avid CEO David Krall, "Pinnacle is the Number One consumer video company in the world," and called the Avid-Pinnacle union "a great combination for the industry." While acknowledging that most consumer editors—who have largely gravitated to Pinnacle Studio—rarely become pro editors, by the same token, he argued, "The pros who enter the field in five years are experimenting with consumer software now."
Many of Avid's announcements, not surprisingly, focused primarily on the broadcast space, where the company is apparently working assiduously "to create an ecosystem for our customer," according to VP and general manager for Avid Video Chas Smith. Besides an intriguing new offering called iNews Instinct, which attempts to move news cutting away from the NLE paradigm into a realm more appropriate to the journalist mindset (words and pictures rather than audio and video), the primary thrust of Avid's announcements concerned the implementation of HD across their product line.
In our space, that meant the long-awaited HD-ification of the Avid Xpress Studio suite, which has now added "HD" to its name. The suite includes Xpress Pro HD (with newly added real-time multicam support), plus ProTools, Avid's 3D tool, the titling and compositing tool AvidFX, and the Sonic-developed Avid DVD. The full suite (Avid Xpress Studio HD Complete) now lists for $5,995 (a $1,000 price drop). The Xpress Pro Power Pack (which includes FX, 3D, and DVD) goes for $2,495), and Xpress Pro flies solo for $1,695. Avid also announced a noteworthy price drop on Xpress DV, which now goes for $495 (formerly $695), which puts it squarely in the Pinnacle Liquid Edition zone. Time will tell what, if anything, that will mean to Avid, Pinnacle, and Pinnacle users.
Adobe closed out the night with a stylish soiree at the new PURE nightclub at Caesar's Palace that was long on socializing and short on announcements (a welcome change, by that point). The main topic on the table was OpenHD, a new initiative created in partnership with HP, Intel, Microsoft, and Dell to help those manufacturers to optimize their systems for HDV and HD postproduction. The result will be OpenHD certified solutions which will meet Adobe accreditation standards and bundle the full Adobe Video Collection (Premiere, After Effects, Audition, and Encore DVD).
Another company making big announcements at our self-imposed late-Sunday filing deadline is Serious Magic, which will be unveiling ULTRA 2, a full-step upgrade to its pro chromakey software, and an HDV add-on for the Editor's Choice-winning DV Rack. ULTRA 2 also adds HDV support, along with 16:9 and 24p.

|Sweet Dreams Chocolate Fudge - Classic Fantasy Fudge becomes a magical story that you can share with your children or grandchildren as you make this old fashioned favorite together!
Sweet Dreams Chocolate FudgeI've said many times that I'm not much of a candy maker, and while I have tried multiple times over my long life span on this earth, I still have not conquered the perfect old fashioned fudge that I love. You know the one. The ones that they use to sell upstairs at Gayfers. The kind you pick up at those candy stores when you are on vacation. The kind that doesn't have a drop of marshmallow creme in it! Well, despite my attempts I haven't made it there yet. Maybe one day.
In the meantime, this Classic Fantasy Fudge is the one most of my family and 99% of the folks I know use. Except for the fact that we now have a wide variety of chocolate chips available to us, it's been around about 40 years and is a favorite of many, and I think most everybody today seems to use the microwave version. Seems that silly candy thermometer scares a lot of us!
This version of Fantasy Fudge comes to you in the form of a little magical recipe. Share it with the special little ones in your life, in the kitchen with your children or grandchildren perched up on a stool in their own little apron, as you prepare this candy with the help of a little bit of fluffy clouds, the diamonds of a princess, some mountain snow and candy bricks, and when it's all said and done - you wrap the squares in a dream!
Recipe: Sweet Dreams Chocolate Fudge {Classic Fantasy Fudge}©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 20 min | Yield: 3 pounds
- Fluffy Clouds (1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow cream)
- Princess Diamonds (3 cups granulated sugar)
- Mountain Snow (1 small (5 ounce) can of evaporated milk (about 2/3 cup)
- Candy Bricks (1-1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) butter)
- The Lost Sea (1/4 teaspoon salt)
- From the Milky Way (1 (12 ounce) package of baking chips - see below)
- Hidden Forest (1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional)
- Magical Island (1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
- Dream (Parchment paper)
Generously butter or line a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with foil, leaving foil extending over the edges as handles. Combine sugar, margarine or butter and milk in heavy 2-1/2 quart saucepan; bring to full rolling boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 4 minutes, or until candy thermometer reaches soft ball stage (234° -240° F - about 234 degrees according to Kraft, though some say 238 is the "magic" number -- just don't take it higher than 240. Also make sure your thermometer is accurate - see below for how to test.)
Remove from heat, stir in chocolate and marshmallow creme until completely melted. Add the nuts and vanilla and mix well. Pour into 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Let cool and cut into small squares and wrap in the "dream" (parchment paper).
Choose One or a combination of flavors: SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS (for classic fudge), or (Hershey's) CINNAMON CHIPS, or WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS (good with pecans) or PEANUT BUTTER CHIPS (omit the nuts) or MINT CHOCOLATE or BUTTERSCOTCH or your favorite!
Substitutes: Can use 1 cup of peanut butter along with your favorite chips (chocolate or white are good choices) to sub for the PB chips; can also use 2 teaspoons of cinnamon along with white chocolate chips to sub in for the Hershey's cinnamon chips which are difficult to find if you don't buy them ahead. Amazon sells them in multi-packs also.
NOTE: Do not use sweetened condensed milk!
Microwave: Microwave margarine in 4-quart microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) 1 minute or until melted. Add sugar and milk; mix well. Microwave on HIGH 5 minutes or until mixture begins to boil, stirring after 3 minutes. Mix well; scrape bowl. Continue microwaving on HIGH 5-1/2 minutes; stir after 3 minutes. Stir in chips until melted. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Pour into greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Cool at room temperature; cut into squares.
Makes 3 pounds, about 40 servings (2 squares) each
Variation: Use above recipe with a 9 x 9 inch baking pan and substitute 1-1/2 package (12 squares) semi-sweet chocolate (like Baker's chocolate), chopped for the chocolate chips.
Place candy thermometer in a pan of rapidly boiling water, keeping the bulb off of the bottom of the pan. Check the temperature at eye level while the thermometer is in the boiling water. It should read 212 degrees F or 100 degrees C.
If it does not, you will need to factor in the difference in temperature while cooking by the amount that your thermometer was off.

What good is knowledge if it isn't shared with others? Wendell Calhoun, communications lead for Syngenta, says his company has been looking for new ways to streamline its agronomic knowledge more efficiently for its farmer and retailer customers. That need has led to the creation of a Virtual Classroom, a new online resource for soybean farmers that debuted in March.
"We took our experts and expertise and put all the information in a one-stop shop," Calhoun says. "Producers are very busy. We're doing what we can to keep them as informed as possible without having to go to a bunch of different websites."
Scott Erickson, soybean genetics portfolio manager, says the soybean crop was a prime Virtual Classroom focus because it has become a more complex crop to manage in recent years, with R&D efforts promising many more traits and technologies in the pipeline.
"We're discovering outcomes every day that haven't even been imagined before," he says. "Companies like Syngenta can only be successful if they can manage some of that complexity, transfer their knowledge and make it usable."
The Virtual Classroom contains commodity information, links to product labels, videos, news links and more. It also features a regularly updated "Soybean Insider" blog, soybean training courses and social media strategies. Calhoun says additional site enhancements and the potential to launch virtual classrooms for other crops is possible, pending user feedback.

ASHLAND, VA – The York College baseball squad dropped a non-conference doubleheader at Randolph-Macon College on Saturday afternoon in Ashland, VA. Randolph-Macon took game one 13-2 and then completed the sweep with a 3-1 win in game two. The Yellow Jackets improve to 23-18 overall with the two wins while the Spartans fall to 11-25.
In the opener, the Yellow Jackets scored a single tally in the bottom of the first inning, taking the 1-0 lead. The Spartans took a short-lived lead in the third on a two-run Jimmy King single to right center as York took a 2-1 lead.
The hosts exploded for a four spot in the bottom third to take a 5-2 lead. The Yellow Jackets then blew the game wide open with four more runs in the fourth, three in the fifth and one final run in the sixth for the final 13-2 margin.
Jamie Hendrick tossed a complete game as he allowed two runs, one earned, on six hits with two strikeouts and a walk. Hendrick improves to 6-2 with the win.
Senior Andy Rosenzweig suffered the loss as he allowed five runs, three earned, on seven hits with three strikeouts and two walks in three innings of work. The three relievers that followed Rosenzweig to the mound did not fare well as they combined to allow eight runs on seven hits with four walks and a pair of strikeouts in three innings.
Six Yellow Jackets had two hits each led by Greg Mitro as the second baseman was 2-for-3 with three runs scored and two RBI. Jordan Walton was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI while Brian Jordan was 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored and an RBI.
The Spartans were led by King, as the sophomore was 1-for-3 with two RBI. Five other Spartans had singles in the game as York did not have an extra base hit in the game.
In game two, Randolph-Macon got a pair of runs in the bottom of the first to take the early lead. The uprising was aided by a Spartan error making both runs unearned. Spartan starter Joey Couch settled in and threw the ball as he kept the Yellow Jackets off the board until the sixth when they got a run off a Jay Lichter RBI double.
York avoided the shutout in the seventh as Steve Tretter and CT Stanley were hit by pitches in back-to-back at-bats. A walk to Justin Cohen loaded the base with nobody out. Freshman Colin Porter grounded out to second to score Tretter and get the Spartans on the board. However, reliever Dale Langford relieved starter Michael Helbig and got out of the jam with a ground out and a fly out to right.
Helbig earned the win as he allowed a run on two hits with five strikeouts and a walk. He improves to 8-2 with the win. Langford earned his fourth save of the year with a perfect seventh inning after entering the game with the bases loaded and no outs.
Couch was very good as he allowed three runs, just one earned, on five hits with six strikeouts and no walks. He falls to 3-8 with the undeserved loss.
Jordan led the hosts with two hits and a run scored while Walton was 1-for-2 with a run scored and an RBI. Lichter was 1-for-3 with an RBI.
Sophomore Nic Long and senior Kyle Cook each had singles for York as the Green and White was limited to just two hits in the game.
York returns to action on Monday when they travel to Messiah for a non-conference contest. Game time in Grantham, PA is set for 3:30 pm.

Hawks attack residents in Florida neighborhood
There was screaming in the Whispering Oaks subdivision in Oviedo on Monday.
Beverly Bonadonna was in her driveway when she felt something strike her head, hard.
"He hit me in the head and clawed me, actually knocked me to the ground," Bonadonna said. She said the bird kept hold of her scalp while she was on the ground.
"I knew not to bring my hand up because I was frightened he was going to tear that apart," Bonadonna said.
Bonadonna is the second resident this week to report being attacked by a pair of mated hawks guarding a nest and hatchlings high above their neighborhood. Her husband heard her screams and came running to find his wife still on the ground, clutching the side of her head.
"The blood was coming down, so he wadded up some paper towels," Bonadonna said.
She ended up going to the hospital and getting a tetanus shot.
Don Cochran lives next door, directly under the hawk's nest. He's been attacked by the birds at least twice.
"They've never been this aggressive," Cochran said.
Because the hawks are a protected species and have lived in Whispering Oaks for years, residents feel it's up to them to take precautions from repeated attacks.
Wildlife officials recommended that Bonadonna keep a hard hat handy, just in case. That's exactly what she's doing.

Williams College - 2, Farmingdale State - 0
Post-Game Interview with Coach Roche
Norton, Mass. - Williams College, ranked ninth overall in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) national poll, earned a 2-0 victory against Farmingdale State College in the first round of the women's soccer NCAA Division III Tournament on Saturday afternoon at Christina Mirrione '99 Stadium at Wheaton College.
Williams pushes its record to 13-3-2 overall and will take on #25 Wheaton (Mass.) College tomorrow, Sunday, November 11 at 1:30 p.m. in the second round of the NCAA Division III Tournament. The Rams conclude their season at 13-8 overall. Farmingdale State earned its sixth-straight postseason berth earlier this fall after winning the Skyline Conference championship for the sixth year in-a-row.
Senior midfielder/forward Caitlyn Clark (Middleton, Mass./Aztecs) opened up the scoring for the Ephs in the 26th minute with her third goal of the season. Clark corralled a pass sent in from the left corner by junior forward Carla Nicasio (Rowayton, Conn./Connecticut Football Club) and rifled home a shot behind Rams freshman goalkeeper Breanna Blair (Littleton, Colo./High Point Regional) for a 1-0 advantage.
Williams senior forward Lindsey Vandergrift (Seattle, Wash./Seattle United FC) added the insurance goal for the Ephs in the 79th minute one-timing Bridget Gallagher's (Cranford, N.J./Matchfit Chelsea) cross into the back of the net, her second marker of the season.
Blair (9-7-0) turned in a game-high four saves, including three in the second half, while Williams College sophomore goalkeeper Hannah Van Wetter (Lakewood, Colo./Colorado Storm Copa) stopped three shots for her second shutout of the season.
Williams outshot Farmingdale State, 15-8, and held a 4-2 margin in corners.
The Ephs will play the Lyons tomorrow for the fifth time in program history at 1:30 p.m. in the second round of the NCAA Division III Tournament at Christina Mirrione, '99 Stadium.
Wheaton College currently holds a 2-1-1 record against Williams College in the all-time series. Last season, the Ephs handed the Lyons a 1-0 loss in Norton, Mass. Both teams first matchup against each other dates back to 2002.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Three Sodbusters Horseshoe Club members, all Bristol residents, fared well at the two-week World Championship Tournament held in Springfield, Ill., which concluded this past weekend.
ADDISON COUNTY — Light streamed in through the paper-thin walls of the temporary shed, a small, greenhouse-like structure plunked down on a Bridport dairy farm. Here, Mark Hoffman is dabbling in alchemy.
Hoffman, a project manager for Montpelier-based Algepower, peered into shallow, plastic troughs stacked one above the other. He was between experiments, and the troughs were mostly empty, but when the system is in full swing the plastic slings are filled with murky green water and hungry algae.
FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh Central School Principal JoAnn Taft-Blakely on Thursday said school maintenance men Wayne Barrows and Gerry Blair would be two of the town's most important employees this week.
That's because this summer's $1.5 million project to improve the school — including installing new heating, ventilation and electrical systems; putting on new, long-lasting rubberized roofing; replacing stained ceiling tiles and rotting soffits; and insulating the space between the ceiling and roof — will be completed on time.
MIDDLEBURY — A single mom working hard just to keep four young children clothed and fed, Jill Smith never held on to much hope of owning her own house. It was a dream that occasionally floated through her head as she and her active brood made a temporary home in the basement of a friend's house.

Winter Potatoes
Oct 06, 2016
Well, here we go again - the seasons have come around but this year we had a wet winter. Not flooding but consistently moist. And it appears that we planted potatoes in April and totally forgot about them. I'm a bit pleased about that because the Victorian floods seem to have inflated the price of potatoes to nearly $3kg (thought I'd put that in there for historians in the years to come). So having relocated the potato patch that we forgot about, gave no attention or water, we decided that
Put the kettle on love
Aug 27, 2016
Andrew, put the kettle on love..........I have always told my children that NO MATTER what happens, your first action should always be to put the kettle on. Boyfriend left? Dog died? Just lost a leg? World apocalypse? No matter what - always put the kettle on. This give you a chance to turn away from the others in the room (in order to get your facial expressions into a properly sympathetic mode), busy yourself about a purposeful activity while others run around in panic and get something
Onions is onions
Jun 15, 2016
To know one's onions. As sure as eggs are eggs. Two fabulous and interchangeable sayings that are probably unique to the English language. But is any meal complete without onions? I have to say no, both from a culinary aspect and from a nutritional aspect. Onions contain sulphur which allows the body to use amino acids. So therefore, all meat meals need onions. And virtually everything else. Luckily they store so well, both dry stored and pickled. But I read on the internet (where
Rosellas, obviously not feathered
Apr 07, 2016
For all the Victorians out there, rosellas grow on a bush. For all the hipsters out there, you know when you go to a very special cocktail bar and they offer you "wild hibiscus in syrup" with your champagne cocktail (making it that lovely shade of pink that ladies like so much), that is also rosellas. Baby boomers may remember the ultra-trendy red zinger tea that we scandalised our WW2 parents with. It was based on dried rosellas. Rosellas or wild hibiscus are an extremely traditional
The Decade of Olives
Mar 19, 2016
I have a horror of nurturing fruit trees that don't overwhelm me with abundance. I expect to drown in peaches or wade through citrus as the seasons go. So when hubby planted the olives, I expected great things of them, notwithstanding the fact that every one told me we a) weren't in a Mediterranean climate and b) it was too humid here, leading to peacock spot disease and c) just don't because we just don't. That is what we like to call a "red rag to a bull". Don't tell me what I can and
Snake by-pass
Mar 19, 2016
Its been a bit quiet at the ranch while we struggle with the monsoon season. Not that it is bringing any downpours. This time last year, the river was in flood and I could quietly and dishonestly tell work that I was flooded in and have a day at home. Of course, hubby was actually flooded in to work. Imagine having to sleep at work. But me and pets were snugly enjoying wet season 2015. Not so this year. We just have to endure the endless humidity and sticky high temperatures with no
Autumn in Oz
Feb 09, 2016
Not quite autumn yet.....actually we've only had the occasional relief from the wet season humidity and heat which they say gets worse every year. But pumpkins are so quintessentially autumn in the USA that I thought it was nearly close enough to have Halloween/ Great Pumpkin fantasies. I love pumpkins. They just sort of hang around down the paddock and grow madly when its wet and sometime later in the year when the snakes have gone to bed and we are adventurous enough to venture into the
Finger Lickin' Lemony Goodness
Jan 12, 2016
At the bottom you will see the finger limes. They are the newest thing (almost) in haute cuisine and an oz native. Inside them are tiny beads of citrusy taste. Like the microbeads that they are trying to ban at the moment, except these are naturally occurring and fully edible. They look and feel like caviar and are tremendous fun. Except for trying to figure out what to do with them. Real chefs put a dollop on a plate for garnish which is OK. But a dollop here or there is not going to use

The decision to cut cornerback Pat Lee was indeed a precursor to the return of another cornerback from injured reserve.
The Raiders have announced that Ron Bartell has been placed back on the active roster. Bartell landed on the new revocable IR after suffering a shoulder blade injury in Week One against the Chargers.
Bartell signed with the Raiders in the offseason after spending seven years with the Rams.
The Raiders also promoted running back Jeremy Stewart from the practice squad, given that both Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson will miss Sunday's game at Baltimore with ankle injuries. To make room for Stewart, cornerback Shawntae Spencer has been placed in non-revocable injured reserve.

Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, N.Y., will hold its 49th annual invitational commencement ceremony at noon on Saturday, May 19, 2012.
Fr. Kevin E. Mackin, OFM, Mount president, will recognize more than 600 bachelor's and master's degree candidates during the ceremony.
Mount Saint Mary College will also confer an honorary doctorate upon Elizabeth Ailes, publisher of The Putnam County News & Recorder and The Putnam County Courier; His Eminence Peter Cardinal Turkson, president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace; and Joseph A. Reilly, CEO of the Empire Broadcasting Corporation.
Ailes is scheduled to give the commencement address, and Turkson will also speak.
"Our Mount Saint Mary College graduates, of whom we are very proud, will be inspired by these examples of regional, national and international leadership," Mackin said.
Elizabeth Ailes
Publisher of The Putnam County News & Recorder and The Putnam County Courier
Elizabeth Ailes is a 20-year veteran of NBC News, CNBC, and America's Talking, the forerunner of MSNBC. She has brought her intensity of journalistic focus to both The Putnam County News & Recorder and The Putnam County Courier as publisher of both papers.
Mrs. Ailes began her career at NBC News Radio and NBC News after graduating with a B.S. Degree in Journalism from Southern Connecticut State University. She was the first producer hired at CNBC and part of a 3-person team responsible for launching the network in April 1989. Mrs. Ailes later became Director of Business Programming at CNBC, before becoming Vice President of Programming at America's Talking, the predecessor to MSNBC.
Mrs. Ailes is the owner of the Hudson Valley Freedom Press. She is the publisher of two weekly newspapers in the Hudson Valley, both the 145-year-old Putnam County News & Recorder which hits newsstands on Wednesdays and the Putnam County Courier, New York State's oldest, continually published weekly established in 1841 and available every Thursday.
In April of 2009, the Courier was threatened with extinction when its parent company went into bankruptcy. Mrs. Ailes realized what a tragic loss this locally based news source and center of the community for over a century would be to the area and stepped in to preserve it.
Mrs. Ailes is the recipient of the Whipple Foundations' 2010 Preserve Putnam Award given annually since 1999 for her efforts to save the Courier and community service. She is also the recipient of the Chamber of Commerce Entrepreneurial Spirit Award. Mrs. Ailes recently restored a historic building on Main Street in Cold Spring to its original 1908 grandeur. After lovingly overseeing every detail, the former Old Homestead Club is now home to the PCN&R.
She is married to Roger Ailes, Chairman and CEO of the Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network. They were married on Valentine's Day 1998. They have a twelve year old son Zachary who was born on New Year's Day 2000. The Ailes Family home is in Garrison, New York.
His Eminence Peter Cardinal Turkson
President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace
Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson was appointed President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace by Pope Benedict XVI on October 24, 2009.
His objectives and mandate include to "promote justice and peace in the world, in the light of the Gospel and of the social teaching of the Church" and "foster relations with international Catholic organizations and with other bodies, be they Catholic or not, that are sincerely committed to the promotion of the values of justice and peace in the world."
Among his many activities, Cardinal Turkson serves on the Board of Directors of Medicus Christi: founded to bring professional and compassionate medical care into poor countries where crucial medical and surgical expertise is lacking.
Born in Nsuta Wassaw, Ghana, he was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Cape Coast in 1975, did doctoral studies in Sacred Scripture at the Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome, and taught at St Theresa's Minor Seminary and St. Peter's Major Seminary. In 1992 he was appointed Archbishop of Cape Coast, and he was created and proclaimed Cardinal by Pope John Paul II in 2003, of the Title of San Liborio (St. Liborius).
Cardinal Turkson was President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops' Conference from 1997-2005, and member of the Pontifical Commission for Methodist-Catholic Dialogue; Chancellor of the Catholic University College of Ghana; member of the National Sustainable Development, Ministry of Environment; member of the Board of Directors of the Central Regional Development Committee and treasurer of the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar.
He is also on the Congregations for the Doctrine of the Faith, Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, and Evangelization of Peoples; Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity; Pontifical Commission for the Cultural Heritage of the Church; Pontifical Committee for International Eucharistic Congresses; XII Ordinary Council of the Secretariat General of the Synod of Bishops.
He has attended many general and special assemblies, and served as General Relator of the 2nd Special Assembly for Africa of the Synod of Bishops, "The Church in Africa, at the Service of Reconciliation, Justice and Peace.'You are the salt of the earth, … you are the light of the world'" in 2009.
Joseph A. Reilly
CEO of the Empire Broadcasting Corporation
Joseph A. Reilly, a native New Yorker, retired as President and CEO of the New York State Broadcasters Association in 2011. He was the first full-time Executive Director of the Association in 1980, and became President in 1986.
Reilly represented the interests of more than 750 radio and television stations, including the major New York City based networks, and advocated for the broadcasting profession before state and federal legislative bodies and represented the Association throughout the nation. Over the past decade, membership in the Association tripled. Before joining the Association, he founded, co-owned and operated a dozen broadcast properties in Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York.
Among Reilly's many achievements was his leadership to open New York State courts to cameras and microphones; in 1987, Governor Mario Cuomo signed into law a landmark bill permitting electronic media entry in courtrooms throughout the state. The Association also led in the transition from analog to digital television.
Reilly's name has surfaced for top level national positions including the presidency of the Radio Advertising Bureau, and of the Radio Division of the National Association of Broadcasters.
Reilly has served on the boards of the Broadcasters Foundation of America; Teresian House of Albany; Capital Bank & Trust Company; New York State Partnership; Chase Lincoln First Bank; Governors Telecommunications Exchange; Governor's Committee for a Healthier New York; and the New York State Youth Advisory Board. He is also a member of the Advisory Board of Straus Digital Media, LLC, and a member of the Board of Trustees of Christian Brothers Academy.
His many awards include the New York State Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame, Empire State Society of Association Executives "Distinguished Member" award, Christian Brothers Academy's "Distinguished Alumnus" award, and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Silver Circle Award, New York Chapter. The Joseph A. and Carol M. Reilly Broadcast Centers at Siena College were dedicated in recognition of Reilly's work as President of the NYSBA and in memory of his wife, Carol.
He is a graduate of Christian Brothers Academy in Albany and Seton Hall University in South Orange, N.J.
Reilly resides in Voorheesville, Albany County, N.Y. He has two children, Jeffrey and Donna Patrick, and four grandchildren.

NBC gives Pam Geller platform to discuss mosque controversy -- why?
Blog ››› ››› SOLANGE UWIMANA
As readers of the Atlas Shrugs website can attest, Pam Geller is far from a moderate voice on anything regarding Islam. So it was a bit surprising to see her on NBC, of all places, talking about the proposed mosque to be built just a few hundred feet from Ground Zero in Manhattan.
Geller, who never misses the chance to malign Islam, Muslims, or President Obama, said during the report: "Why should there be a mosque in there? On the top floor, looking down at Ground Zero?" Under her name, NBC featured the text: "Stop Islamization of America." Geller then added: "It's offensive to people."
What is truly offensive is Geller -- who has accused Obama of speaking "like an ... anti-Semitic Muslim terrorist" and claimed that he "wants Jihad to win" -- being given a platform to voice an opinion on this issue. Geller has traded in the sort of "offensive" -- read hateful -- commentary about Muslims and the religion of Islam that should get her banned from appearing on any network.
The NBC report rightly pointed out that this proposed mosque, the Cordoba House, is supposed to be a monument to religious tolerance and anti-extremism. Then why did NBC feature hatemonger Geller as a credible source to voice opposition to it?
I mean, this is the same person who, in a post titled "Forecast: Blood On The Streets," has said Obama "is itching for a civil war. And at the rate he is going, he is going to get one," and doctored an image of Supreme Court nomine Elena Kagan to look like she was wearing a Nazi uniform. Kagan is Jewish.
In May, Geller appeared on Fox News' Fox & Friends to discuss the mosque, saying she was leading an effort against the project. She went on to say that "there's no tolerance there" and wondered: "I don't know why they'd want to stab Americans in the eye with that."
