RAND PAUL AND THE KOOKY FOX NEWS JUDGE By Cliff Kincaid May 25, 2010 Rand Paul, the Republican candidate for the Senate in Kentucky, says he backed out of Sunday’s “Meet the Press” appearance because he was fearful of liberal media attacks. But avoiding the media won’t stop the questions about the candidate’s controversial views and associations. These include
9/11 conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and Fox News judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano, who was recently on Fox News claiming that Arizona’s new immigration law has made it into a Nazi state. Going beyond anything the far-left “progressives” have said about it, Napolitano claimed the Arizona immigration law, which was crafted with an eye to constitutional challenges, would bankrupt the state because of the costs of enforcing it. He then went on the Alex

Unions have their problems. They exist simply because Corporations have more problems. In functioning human societies we band together to cure problems. We get together and create fire departments to fight fires, police departments to fight criminals and to make sure we ourselves behave reasonably toward each other. As workers we have gotten together and collectively formed unions so that we can speak as one voice to our employers about fair wages, safe working conditions, and fair treatment. When you see or hear the word "union" you should think "a group working people". When you think of the 40 hour week, overtime pay, and paid vacations, think of America's unions

A diverse fauna is also found in this relatively high rainfall region. However, the region around Perth is heavily developed and much of this region has already been cleared. While there are several large protected areas in the region, continued development, habitat fragmentation, dieback disease, and inappropriate fire regimes are serious threats. Location and General Description South of Perth down to Cape Naturaliste, the Swan Coastal Plain forms a low-lying belt 25 kilometers (km) to 30 km wide, bordered to the east by the Darling Scarp and the Precambrian Yilgarn Block. The Swan Coastal Plain is covered by shoreline and associated dune

Produced by Phoenix Theatre Ensemble Joe Menino and Elise Stone in AGAMEMNON HOME. Photo by Gerry Goodstein. BOTTOM LINE: A contemporary adaptation of the ancient Greek tragedy Agamemnon. Phoenix Theatre Ensemble’s production of playwright-in-residence Glyn Maxwell’s Agamemnon Home marks the second play in Phoenix’s three-year "House of Atreus" cyle. Last March they premiered Iphigenia at Aulis (read Theasy’s review here) and will conclude the series next season with a production of Electra. Agamemnon Home is a “rethinking” of the Aeschylus tragedy Agamemnon. It is a premier work written expressly for the Phoenix Theatre Ensemble actors and features Joe Menino, Elise Stone, Kelli Holsopple, Brian Costello, Josh Tyson, Craig Smith, Amy Fitts, Brittany Pooler, and Zoe Watkins under the direction of Amy Wagner. Upon entering the theatre, I was immediately struck by the set: the playing space is enclosed by stormy cloudscapes surrounding a cracked desert floor
split by a rivulet of blackness — maybe tar? Maruti Evans’ piercing set design is matched by his nuanced yet dramatic lighting, both ethereal and confrontational in turn. The design is completed by Margaret McKowen

I believe everything that... is written” (Acts 24:14). Peter affirmed that he did not follow cleverly invented stories, but was an eyewitness (2 Pet. 1:16). The special key to understanding Scripture is given by God’s Son himself. Jesus states that His words will never pass away (Matt. 24:35). He guarantees that everything that has been written will be fulfilled (Luke 18:31). He authorized all the meaningful elements of the text of the Bible (e.g., Luke 16:17) and confirmed that all biblical accounts described real historical events, for example the creation of the first human couple (Matt. 19:4–5), the universality of the Flood and the destruction of all air-breathing creatures (Matt. 24:38–39), and the history of Jonah (Matt. 12:40–41

I was gonna share these a while ago but I lost the wire to connect my camera to my computer and found it last weekend. Here are some pics I took at a wedding I did a couple of months ago. The room is draped wall to wall with white fabric. There is one picture with a seminar happening in the room to give you an idea what it looks like without all of the draping. It is at the Brevard Zoo's Nyami Nyami River Lodge. There's a deck out back overlooking rhinos and giraffes where the ceremony took place. There were 2 caricature artists drawing the guests as a gift to the guests. A string quartet for ceremony and cocktail hr. A butterfly dancer during the ceremony + butterfly release. I played some of the ceremony music plus provided sound support for a guitar soloist. A confetti blast from 3 angles as the Groom dipped his Wife at the end of the 1st dance.

Wed 6 Jun 2012 Filed under: Inside Burma,Regional YANGON, Myanmar — Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi said Wednesday her activities on a recent trip to Thailand gave no cause for anyone to be unhappy, dismissing speculation her high-profile visit annoyed the government.Suu Kyi’s visits with Myanmar migrant workers and refugees and her appearance at the World Economic Forum in Bangkok garnered global attention because it was the former political prisoner’s first trip outside Myanmar in 24 years. Myanmar President Thein Sein had been scheduled for an official visit to Thailand at the same time and for the same conference, but postponed then canceled his trip. Officials said he was busy at home,
but it was speculated Thein Sein was irritated at being upstaged. “I don’t think that I did anything that could make anybody in Burma unhappy, because what I did was go to meet migrant workers and to meet those officials in Thailand who are responsible for the migrant workers’ situation and we discussed matters of mutual benefit,” Suu Kyi said Wednesday, using the old name for her country preferred by some political activists.

Dashain, the 15 day celebration of good over evil in Nepal is a time of great joy and happiness - but only for the humans involved. Hundreds of thousands of animals - mostly goats and buffalo, though also pigs, ducks, and chickens - are sacrificed to the goddess Durga and her nine avatars. While the idea of animal sacrifice in itself is throwing up controversy, the animals may not all be well-treated, or die painlessly. (Nepal is not a shining example of animal rights - other traditions of the country include drowning goats or a group of men killing a goat with their bare hands.) Activists have suggested sacrificing fruits and vegetables in the stead of animals, and religious arguments have offered that the Hindu gods do not require animal sacrifice and would likely not be appeased anyway. In fact, a traditional celebration of the festival seems not to include animals at all. Please sign this petition urging the people and the government of Nepal to: Consider sacrificing fruits and vegetables in lieu of animals If the animals are to be sacrificed, make sure that their meat is used for consumption and not dishonored as garbage Make sure that any animals involved in any festivities are treated humanely and do not suffer Rein

The via ferrata, or “iron way”, is a fixed-aid climbing route, designed to allow non-rock climbers to tackle challenging rock faces using artificial aids which can include cables, ladders, iron rungs and pegs or stanchions. The via ferrata lets you enjoy a high-adrenaline adventure sport. Unlike mountain paths, the via ferrata is an artificial climb route up what are often vertical rock faces. Safety is not a problem as long as climbers know the basic rules on how to use the aids to proceed and are properly equipped. A continuous wire cable runs along the route, making it safe from start to finish, and climbers must clip their lanyards to the cable. Accompanied by a mountain guide, anybody can climb the via ferrata, as long as they are in good physical shape and have no fear of heights. There are different kinds of via ferrata: The route takes you across the north-west rock face, covering an elevation gain of around 150 metres, left of the funicular track. The route is over 250 metres long and is challenging; those who decide to try it need to be strong and in good shape. The climb is not a straight line, but is fun and varied
and its exceptional position offers superb views. A steep path leads from the intermediate funicular station (at Pazzallo) to the start of the via ferrata, requiring around 50 minutes. From the end of the via ferrata, you can choose whether to take the beautiful path down to Pazzallo, or climb on up to the summit, which takes around 20 minutes, to the funicular departure point. Anchors: around 80 pieces, length 40 cm, diameter 20 mm. Made of STAINLESS

Remember BlockBuster? For you younglings who don’t, it was a poplar retail chain that rented “videos” and “DVDs” to people, in person. It’s still around, but no one really uses it anymore. Anyway, BlockBuster just inked a deal with TiVO, which also isn’t doing too well—it currently has its smallest subscriber base since 2005—to bring BlockBuster-branded streaming movies to TiVo. Movies will cost up to $4 to rent. TiVo, of course, isn’t married to

Brief SummaryRead full entry BiologyWith its life cycle wholly dependent on infrequent showers of rain, the Raso lark has a particularly precarious existence (2). During periods of drought, one of the few sources of food and water for this species is provided by the small subterranean bulbs of the nutsedges, Cyperus bulbosus or Cyperus cadamosti. In order to reach the bulbs,
the Raso lark excavates shallow burrows in the sandy soil using its strong bill (2) (4). Males appear to consume more bulbs than the females, and the largest dominant males usually form territories containing several productive burrows, which they aggressively defend (4) (6). In contrast, females are more reliant on surface food sources such as grass seeds and insects (4). While the difference in bill size between the sexes has previously been thought to account for the differences in feeding behaviour (2) (3) (4), more recent research has shown that this may not be the case (6).

(NEW YORK) -- Count the Anti-Defamation League among Seth MacFarlane's post-Oscars critics. The group, which fights anti-Semitism, says a joke that the Oscars host made at Sunday night's ceremony was "offensive" to Jewish people. The ADL is bothered by the segment in which MacFarlane's animated teddy bear character, Ted, and Mark Wahlberg presented the awards for sound mixing and sound editing. MacFarlane, voicing Ted, joked that Jewish people control the movie industry. The national director for the ADL, Abraham H. Foxman, said in a statement, "While we have come to expect inappropriate 'Jews control Hollywood' jokes from Seth MacFarlane
, what he did at the Oscars was offensive and not remotely funny. It only reinforces stereotypes which legitimize anti-Semitism. It is sad and disheartening that the Oscars awards show sought to use anti-Jewish stereotypes for laughs." MacFarlane's performance

By Mike Stark, Associated Press Writer SALT LAKE CITY Hey, Great Salt Lake: Your shoreline is showing. All summer and into the fall, warm temperatures kept evaporation humming, drawing down the lake to near-record low levels and exposing more shore than normal. But the shrinking appears finally to have stopped. Wallace Gwynn, of the Utah Geological Survey, says the current lake level — measured at 4,194 feet above sea level — seems to have bottomed out about 6 feet below normal. "I don't think we're going to go a lot lower than this," Gwynn said. The lake hasn't been this low since the early 1970s. Some speculated it might slip past the record low of 4,191.35 feet set in 1963. But cooler temperatures this fall are finally bringing the shrinking to a stop. That's welcome news to boaters driven away by shallow waters. "Six years ago, when I arrived as park manager, we had 70 sailboats in the marina," said Ron Taylor, who runs Antelope Island State Park in the southern part of the
lake. "Now we have two." The lake has a reputation for being cyclical fluctuations, rising and falling at the whims of temperature, rainfall and other factors. In the 1960s and 1970s, many worried the lake would completely dry up. In the 1980s, more than $60 million was spent on gigantic pumps, which for two years funneled water into the desert west of the lake after severe floods along the shoreline. By 2002 and 2003, the lake

From HUSKY to AVALANCHE: May--Mid-August 1943 Although TRIDENT did not settle the role the Mediterranean was to play in long-range European strategy, the need for deciding the size, timing, and direction of immediate operations in the Mediterranean became urgent. One effect of TRIDENT Was to speed preparations for the invasion of Sicily. By the close of the conference, operational planning for HUSKY was taking final shape. The Germans had at last been defeated in Tunisia, and the Allied headquarters in Algiers could turn its full attention to Sicily. Pantelleria had been accepted as an intermediate objective, an ad hoc, or modified, HUSKY had been rejected, and a full-scale operation had been projected in accord with a plan developed by General Eisenhower's staff. The final outline plan for Sicily, approved by the CCS on 13 May during the TRIDENT meetings, provided for British and American assaults against southern and southeastern areas of the island. On 22 May, while the CCS were still at the conference, General
Eisenhower confirmed 10 July 1943 as D Day.1 Early in its planning for HUSKY, General Eisenhower's combined planning staff had concluded that the most important need was to capture suitable airfields and ports to maintain the armies after the landings. By early May General Eisenhower and his deputy, General Alexander, had decided to concentrate the assault against the southeastern group of airfields and to seize Catania, Palermo, and other

Unfortunately, Burger Cat's cheezburger lacks condiments and sides. If you first encountered the internet, say, three years ago, you’d be excused for wondering about our intense fascination with cats and their special speech patterns. I’ll admit to thinking quite a few are pretty hilarious in their time, though I’d also admit that for the most part I think that ship has sailed and the Cheeseburger loving cat that had his time in the sun is about ready to move into the digital pasture so we can find something new to laugh at. So making a game about one
of those cats now seems ill-timed. In Burger Cat your goal is to guide the intrepid cat to his beloved burger. You do this by manipulating the terrain between the two: digging holes, raising the ground to let him climb, adding elements to overcome obstacles, etc. Then you’ll let him go and see if he makes it. I think my main problem with the game is just that it has a bit of an identity crisis on its hands. Screenshots and such would lead you

In terms of hip-hop, the only artists of note to emerge out of Cleveland, Ohio are Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Although he sings as well as he raps, Kid Cudi has a sound all his own. Thrust into the national spotlight by last year’s smoker’s anthem “Day ‘N’ Nite (Nightmare),” the rap rookie gained the attention of Kanye West and wound up contributing to the platinum rapper/producer’s auto-tuned fueled 808’s & Heartbreak. Now Cudi’s ready to hit a high note of his own with his debut, Man On The Moon: The End Of The Day. Broken into five acts and narrated by Common, the album takes listeners on an emotional rollercoaster ride through Cudi’s mind. The journey begins with the melancholy “Soundtrack 2 My Life,” where he confesses, “I was close to trying some coke/And a happy ending would be slitting my throat.” The downtrodden diatrib

The academic world is often considered to be isolated from the real world. However, now that the world is struggling with an unprecedented financial crisis, one must (at last) pay attention to the role that academic theories may have in the real-world developments. The very serious problem to be identified is that economists and finance scholars typically have excessive trust in their own theories -- trust that often approaches outright naiveté. This blind trust has tremendous implications to our economic system; at worst it contributes to crises like the one we are experiencing now. Perhaps the best-known finance theory in the validity of which most academicians blindly believe is the one that states that the financial markets are efficient. This implies that the market values of securities, such as stocks, always reflect all the information that is relevant to their fundamental values. Based on this theory one often concludes that "markets are always right" in their pricing of securities -- and also rightly price the risks related to the security values. Now, to the extent that people have without a slightest doubt believed in this "scientific" conclusion, the theory in question has evidently been the underlying prim
us motor of the current crisis. Another recent theory in the assumptions of which one trusts beyond reasonable doubt prescribes that firms should disgorge their "free cash flows" to their shareholders. A further theoretical prescription is that firms should disgorge their cash flows by buying back their own shares from the stock market (rather than by just paying dividends). One blindly believes in these theoretical norms despite the fact that no one has ever been able to

The Federal Trade Commission says it is cracking down on robocalls, stepping up efforts to halt illegal automated sales calls that are a growing annoyance for millions of households. Since September 2009, the FTC has prohibited prerecorded telemarketing calls unless consumers give written permission to receive them. Marketers are not allowed to trick people into signing a robocall waiver by burying it in fine print. American consumers have made it crystal clear that few things annoy them more than the billions of commercial telemarketing robocalls they receive every year, FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz said when the law was enacted. Despite the ban, the calls are on the rise, the agency said. Complaints about robocalls have risen steadily from a monthly total of just over 65,000 in October 2010 to 140,
500 in September 2011, according to the FTCs most recent figures. The FTC attributes the spike to technology. Making automated calls is easy and increasingly cheap. The calls also are becoming more difficult for law enforcement and regulators to trace because of spoofing technology that allows the originator to transmit a fictitious caller ID. The agency is planning an October summit in Washington, D.C., to explore ways to track and halt illegal robocalls. Although automated sales calls are prohibited, other prerecorded calls are not, including those from politicians, survey takers, debt collectors and most charities. Live sales calls

which is that they were preemptively prosecuted. The amicus brief asks that a special prosecutor be appointed to review their convictions to determine whether they were given a fair trial, and whether all exculpatory evidence that was legally required at their trial was produced by the prosecution.

Seminar: A scalable frequency domain-based linear convolution architecture for speech enhancement Christelle YEMDJI - Phd student - MM department Date: July 1, 2011 Location: Eurecom - salle EN05 Most speech enhancement algorithms consist of a time-varying filter which is applied to the signal in the frequency domain. One of the motivations for filtering in the frequency domain compared to convolution in the time domain is to reduce the computational complexity. Filtering in the frequency domain, however, can introduce distortion if the linear convolution condition is not fulfilled. Although there are standard approaches to linear convolution in the frequency domain, they tend
to be computationally prohibitive for small terminals. In this paper, we present a new and more efficient approach. The proposed approach is derived from the equivalence of zero-padding and interpolation in time and frequency domains. A distinct advantage of the approach proposed in this talk relates to its scalability which is exploited

The IMF as an International Lender of Last Resortby Edwin M. Truman | October 12th, 2010 | 10:44 am The G-20 leaders’ meeting in Seoul should endorse a series of steps to move the International Monetary Fund (IMF) closer to becoming an international lender of last resort. The classic lender of last resort has the capacity (1) to lend unlimited amounts of funds to solvent institutions (2) on appropriate terms. Thus, to transform the IMF into a more effective international lender of last resort involves two components: design of the appropriate terms and financing. With respect to the design component, a number of elements of an improved global financial safety net are at
various stages of approval. They are: - a further relaxation of the amounts available from and terms of access to the flexible credit line (FCL) for countries with very strong economic and financial policies; - the establishment of a precautionary credit line (PCL) for countries with sound policies that do not qualify for the FCL and would be accompanied by limited, streamlined conditions (ex post conditionality) on their policies

Like many Iranians the world over, Los Angeles based filmmaker Ardeshir Arian -- no supporter of the current Iranian regime -- casts a critical eye on the movie's portrayal of the ancient Persian Empire, and wonders if the filmmakers behind "300" haven't confused the ruling class of that era with the vastly different culture of today. As an Iranian-American filmmaker who believes in truth and humanity it very much disturbed me to see the magnificent Persian culture and heritage; the great civilization of my origin, the legacy of my ancestors, the facts of history, and the truth as a whole being attacked by a group of filmmakers for “A Fistful of Dollars.” And many now believe that there are also political intentions behind “300.” No matter the reasons for the making of the film, I feel obligated to set the record straight on some of the misconceptions that this movie is creating for its viewers. I should mention that this film has already sparked enough emotion and resentment to trigger two petitions online that are already among the top
25 in popularity and growing by the minute. By many historical accounts contrary to his depiction in “300″, Xerxes was a wise man, a tolerant king, and the

Uncle Billy, Starring Ben Bernanke Dec. 25, 2009 Back in 2002, I wrote a review of It's a Wonderful Life. In that review -- written in the midst of the housing bubble -- I offered this analysis of the savings & loan industry and its effects. In Anno Domini 2002, we have been told that what has saved the American economy, and hence the world's economy, from the miseries of a deep recession is the housing market. There is cheap mortgage money available, and Americans are now re-financing their homes. Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac are merely the Bedford Falls Building & Loan Society gone national and federalized through presumed loan guarantees for investors. Odd as it may sound, in this recent real-life remake of "It's a Wonderful Life," George Bailey is played by Alan Greenspan. He has received generally favorable reviews.... The message: George Bailey made a difference because he helped depositors make loans to each other that were secured by real estate. That was the mode of national redemption in 1946
, after a decade of depression and half a decade of war: "Own your own home!" On this theological foundation was built Levittown and the other post-War tracts. Exactly how Bailey did this during the Great Depression, the movie never says. In the real world, building and loan associations did it because the U.S

Even as the votes are being counted, Mrs Clinton will probably be thinking ahead to the next election and the wisdom of standing again after losing the Democratic nomination in 2008 to Barack Obama when she had been the heavy favourite.

She then plans to write a book about

After serving as First Lady, senator for New York and now Secretary of State, her curriculum vitae for a return to the White House, this time as president, is exemplary.

As is often the case, you can’t manage it if you don’t measure it. Avatar's research studies revealed that engaged employees tend to enrich their service,

Imagine that, like me, you had written a book entitled "Tough Jews," published by BasicBooks in 1990. Then imagine this: The Los Angeles Times Book Review invites you--because you are the author of "Tough Jews"--to review a new book entitled "Tough Jews" by Rich Cohen, an associate editor at Rolling Stone. And imagine discovering its dust jacket features a clenched fist with brass knuckles--like yours does. Now you can imagine how I felt when this happened. After wondering what Cohen might say about my book in his, it occurred to me that he might not even know it exists. As it turns out, my book isn't mentioned in Cohen's.

|« Milk fat causes weight gain in humans||Green Tea for Melanoma »| A paper published in the Journal 'Blood' entitled "HIV-1 incorporates ABO histo-blood group antigens that sensitise virions to complement-mediated inactivation" suggests that transmission of HIV-1 is modified by both ABO blood group and the immune system enzyme complement. The premise is based on research showing how the ABO antigen (blood group marker) of the infected person is incorporated into the HIV virus that is replicated in their cells. Because the virus is coated in the person's blood group antigen, it then acts in the same way a red blood cell would when someone with an incompatible blood group becomes exposed to it, and the part of the immune system that would normally cause an incompatible blood transfusion reaction is activated against the virus, helping to protect the recipient against infection. This would mean that it would be harder for an individual of blood group O (the 'universal donor') to contract HIV infection from people of any other blood group apart from blood group O, as the recipient will have both anti
-A and anti-B antigens in their blood. Conversely those with blood group AB (the 'universal recipient') who have no opposing blood group antibodies would contract HIV infection more easily from people of any blood group. This paper follows previous research on how complement is activated by anti-B IgM (the immune complex involved in incompatible transfusion reactions where the

Jewellery or jewelry is a form of personal adornment - such as brooches, rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. With some exception such as medical alert bracelets or military dog tags, jewellery normally differs from other items of personal adornment in that it has no other purpose than to look appealing, but humans have been producing and wearing it for a long time - with 100,000-year-old beads made from Nassarius shells thought to be the oldest known jewellery. Jewellery may be made from a wide range of materials, but gemstones, precious metals, beads and shells have been widely used. Depending on the culture and times jewellery may be appreciated as a status symbol
, for its material properties, its patterns, or for meaningful symbols. Jewellery has been made to adorn nearly every body part, from hairpins to toe rings. The word jewellery itself is derived from the word jewel, which was anglicized from the Old French "jouel", and beyond that, to the Latin word "jocale", meaning plaything. Most cultures have at some point had a practice of keeping large amounts of wealth stored in the form of jewellery.

Later Thursday, Villegas said the Venezuelan government plans to pursue legal action against the newspaper "so that these type of acts do not go unpunished." "We will use all the legal tools within our reach to proceed to repair the damage caused not only to Comandante Chavez, the president, but also to all of Venezuelan society," he said. The photo's publication, Villegas said, was evidence of a right-wing media campaign that aims to spread fear and destabilize Venezuela. He also objected to the nature of the image, arguing that the newspaper's editors never would have permitted the publication of a similar photo of a European president or a member of their own families. Diosdado Cabello, head of Venezuela's National Assembly, said publishing the photo was no accident. "Nobody believes that the photo that appears in El Pais of Spain is something accidental," he wrote in a Twitter post, arguing that the motive behind the photo's publication was clear: "hatred."

My heart sank when it seemed they had provided overwhelming evidence for the benefits of breakfast a few months ago. But I proved them wrong. Why Does
Breakfast Make Some People Hungry? As mentioned, it wasn’t without grounds that the question piqued my curiosity beyond that which could be attributed to food selection. In questionnaires, clients would often note that eating in the morning made them ravenous before noon, and sometimes no more than an hour after a steady breakfast. On Facebook, in emails, and in casual conversation, anecdotes to a similar effect kept popping up too frequently to be explained by mere coincidence. Or to be shrugged off with a half-assed answer, with the underlying assumption that everyone’s eating crap for breakfast

Deja Vu set in as shades of last Saturday's LA debacle surfaced... The Avs killed off a Mark Olver goalie interference penalty that exposed Colorado's weak defensive coverage and San Jose promptly started sending everything to the slot because apparently the Avalanche are not allowed to defend that area. At one point, a large neon sign was lowered just above ice level with a glowing red arrow pointing to the slot with the words "we have the
loosest slots!" burning proudly in Burgundy. F. Luckily, the Avs then sent out their dominant new line of Bordeleau and Paulshaj, centered by Chuck "Don't Call Me a Winger" Kobasew, and tied things up at 1 to finish off a tenacious shift. Palushaj carried the puck in with speed and attempted a wrap around (i.e., he fell down) and then Palushaj and Bordeleau worked hard along the boards (i.e.,

Millions of people around the world are struggling to get out of debt. It is a long road, and it definitely isn’t an easy one. If you are one of these people trying to pay off an endless list of payables—don’t lose hope. Focus on being debt free, and take things one at a time. Here are a few practical steps to help you work your way out of debt: 1. Stop acquiring new debt The first step to working you way out of debt is to stop acquiring new debt. Yes, this piece of advice may seem obvious, but you need to start realizing that you cannot afford to spend money you don’t have. Leave your credit cards at home or better yet, cut them up! 2. Look your debt in the eye. One of the most difficult things to do is to face reality and total all your debts. Itemize each payable—student loans, medical bills, car loans, personal loans, credit cards and anything else you may need to pay off. 3. Select the first debt to work on. Look over your list of debts and decide on which of them you’d like to tackle first. Is it the smallest debt or the one with the highest interest rate?
Choose to work on a debt that will motivate you, and then continue to create an order for paying off your remaining debts. 4. Start paying. Pay the minimum payment on all your debts. For the first debt

Profile: Office of Global Communications (OGC) Office of Global Communications (OGC) was a participant or observer in the following events: The Pentagon announces the existence of the new Office of Strategic Influence (OSI), which “was quietly set up after September 11.” The role of this office is to plant false stories in the foreign press, phony e-mails from disguised addresses, and other covert activities to manipulate public opinion. The new office proves so controversial that it
is declared closed six days later. [CNN, 2/20/2002; CNN, 2/26/2002] It is later reported that the “temporary” Office of Global Communications will be made permanent (it is unknown when this office began its work). This office seems to serve the same function as the earlier OSI, minus the covert manipulation.

January 19, 2011 4:04 pm A group of 36 Chinese environmental groups has accused Apple of failing to address concerns over pollution and worker health issues in factories supplying components for its gadgets. In a report to be published on Thursday, the groups rank Apple last in a list of 29 multinational technology companies based on how each company dealt with
inquiries about pollution and occupational health hazard incidents at factories in their supply chain. The report underscores a growing environmental awareness in China and the nascent attempts by the country’s heavily monitored and restricted non-governmental organisations to draw attention to important social issues.

Columbus blundered upon the island in 1492, and by the early 1500's Spain had taken over killing natives and importing Africans as slaves for the sugar cane industry. Spain held firm until 1898 when Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders liberated Cuba. Sadly, the

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Albany Museum of Art has recently been awarded the honor of reaccreditation. Nick Nelson, Executive Director of the Albany Museum of Art, and Ford W. Bell, President and CEO of the American Association of Museums, have co-authored this article. Most would agree that Americans are, by nature, a trusting people. But these days America’s faith in many of its important institutions — government, the media, the judicial system — have been severely shaken. Yet one institution our citizens continue to trust and support is the nation’s museums. A recent national survey found America’s museums and libraries to be the most trusted sources of information by the public. That’s why the popularity of museums endures, and why an American Association of Museums survey found that museum attendance has jumped markedly in this troubled economy. No surprise, really, as tough times have historically produced a jump in museum visits (there was a dramatic spike after 9/11
). People are looking for what one researcher calls “respite and renewal,” as well as a sanctuary of substance and authenticity in an increasingly virtual world. That bond between museums and the public has been built, layer upon layer, over the nation’s history. It is rooted in the mission of all museums — education — but also in the ways in which museums have become part of their communities. We believe today’s museums are our communities, weaving cities and towns together culturally, intellectually and economically. As the institutions charged with

Jan 12, 2012, 3:46 PM EDT It’s been an unsettling last few days for the Winnipeg Jets. On Tuesday, head coach Claude Noel ripped Evander Kane for his lackluster play in a 5-3 loss to Boston. On Thursday, a visibly dejected Kane responded to the criticism, noting that he and his coach hadn’t spoken since the game. This prompted some head-scratching. Why did Noel go after Kane — Winnipeg’s leading goalscorer and arguably best player this season — in such an aggressive and public manner? Noel’s response was an interesting one. He blamed the media for provoking him. “You guys are very good at provoking emotions,” Noel explained. “That’s what you do. And when you get caught, you pay the price. So it’s something that I’ll be ready for next time. “I would sooner deal with the players face to face which is where I do it. The media isn’t the forum for me to do it…the media isn’t the forum for me to deal with players that’s just not where
it gets done. That’s not a motivating place.” It’s a nice theory, but ultimately flawed. Noel could’ve used media provocation as an excuse if this was the first time he’d publicly blasted his team, but this ain’t exactly a first-time thing (see here and here). If anything,

It's the time of the year where Rock And Roll Hall of Fame nominations are released to the public and it always raises an eyebrow from me in the most recent years, given the inclusion of some groups. I have no issue with hip-hop artists or groups being included in the Hall, because it's pretty obvious that it's not a "fad" by now, after over 30 years of it being in the spotlight. This year, LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys will up for induction in the Hall. What I'm disappointed with is the year after year snub of Rush. I'm not a big fan of Rush and I've never really gotten into them, like the two guys in the movie "I Love You, Man," but I respect their longevity and what they've contributed to Rock and Roll. I just got a note from someone. It says, "'I Love You, Man' was a movie. It was make believe."
My mistake. Another group that has been snubbed by the Hall is The Cure. They're now entering their fourth decade of existence and they've never shown up on a nomination ballot either. It will be interesting to see who gets in, when the inductees are announced in December

Here's a letter from the I Love Television™ mail bag that I thought you'd enjoy. Dear Editor: We pick up your publication from the racks whenever we can, but I am writing to tell you we won't be reading it anymore. I was shocked when I opened the June 9 issue and saw the headline "Goddamn Kids". I don't even like typing it. I had to look twice because I couldn't believe it. Not only the headline contained it but it was repeated over and over. I was offended. I am not a religious fanatic, but I am a Christian, and there are plenty of us in this area. In case Steve doesn't know that the Third Commandment is "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain." If he wants to do that on his own time, that's his business, but I don't believe it should be used in a publication for all to see. Shame on him and shame on you for
letting him publish the trash in your paper. My response after the jump... Thanks for writing, and though you bring up a good point, since I don't actually believe in God, I'm exempt from following any
