Admissions of Bias
"There are lots of reasons fewer people are watching network news,
and one of them, I'm more convinced than ever, is that our viewers
simply don't trust us. And for good reason. The old argument that the
networks and other `media elites' have a liberal bias is so blatantly
true that it's hardly worth discussing anymore. No, we don't sit around
in dark corners and plan strategies on how we're going to slant the
news. We don't have to. It comes naturally to most reporters."
-- CBS News correspondent Bernard Goldberg, February 13, 1996 Wall Street Journal op-ed.
"Everybody knows that there's a liberal, that there's a heavy liberal persuasion among correspondents."
-- Walter Cronkite at the Radio and TV Correspondents Association dinner, March 21, 1996.
"There is a liberal bias. It's demonstrable. You look at some
statistics. About 85 percent of the reporters who cover the White House
vote Democratic, they have for a long time. There is a, particularly at
the networks, at the lower levels, among the editors and the so-called
infrastructure, there is a liberal bias."

"You know President Clinton said, I think it was in the State of the
Union, Alan, that the average Congressman, in Washington, made more
money during the period of time that the government was shut down than
a minimum wage worker makes in a year. Now that's a pretty compelling
political case to make."

"On the other hand, there was, even before this suit was filed, a lead essay in Newsweek
called `The Politics of Promiscuity,' that ultimately went over every
single Clinton transgression from the campaign and everything else,
filled with sexual innuendoes, that his policies were the equivalent of
one-night stands, that he seduces the bulk of his agenda and so forth.
It really was, made Bill Clinton out to be a political bimbo and it was
kind of an outrageous piece of journalism. That's the last word."

"There is a broad public dissatisfaction with welfare policy in this
country, but how much of this is a hangover of politicians who massaged

"During the course of the last two years they have passed the crime
bill, they have made progress on the deficit, they have done things

conservative members of Congess, like Whitewater and Paula Jones?"

somehow not welcome in the Republican Party."
-- Tom Brokaw to Pat Buchanan, August 18, 1992.

"There are many women in the press, and you couldn't have fought the
battles you have fought to get where you are and not find what the
Republicans said about women offensive...It's not possible, you cannot

"As the icon of American womanhood, she is the medium through which
the remaining anxieties over feminism are being played out....Perhaps
in addition to the other items on her agenda, Hillary Rodham Clinton
will define for women that magical spot where the important work of the

other more in two hours than the Bushes did in four years."

"What the public now thinks is that the White House, the President,
brought the Republicans back from this extremist program. They really

these regulations."

illegal. He has what I would call the politician's disease. He has
tailored the truth to adapt to the reality of running in a conservative
southern state."
-- McLaughlin Group, September 12, 1992.
"Clinton is much craftier than George Bush in avoiding the kind of
`Read My Lips' vow that allows no maneuvering room. He can rewrite his
promises to adjust to reality. That opens him to `Slick Willie'
catcalls. It also leaves him the option to do the right thing."

"The onslaught of political and legislative attacks on programs for
the poor and for the young is about to create even bigger problems for

"Some people are very concerned about talk shows...Most of them
around the country have a decidedly conservative bent. The rap that
some people give them is that they reflect the views of a very vocal
minority, the extremists in this country, and don't really reflect the
true nature of political debate in the United States. And, as a matter
of fact, they tend to be quite divisive and sort of have a bad, a
negative impact on the country."

"The school lunch program, by all accounts, has been incredibly
successful, as has the WIC program, and obviously provides good
nutrition for children which is so crucial for development and

"A lot of people are afraid of you. They think you're a
bomb-thrower. Worse, you're an intolerant bigot. Speak to them....You
talk about the Clintons as members of the counterculture, the elitists,

when you read him out of `the Americans,' as you put it?"
-- Sam Donaldson's questions to Newt Gingrich on This Week with David Brinkley, November 13, 1994.
"Reagan got his taxation program through, which was to cut taxes to
the bone. Mr. Clinton's going to get his program through, which is to
raise taxes to the sky. And let us hope, Cokie, that it doesn't turn
out to have a similar fate. What Reagan did was destroy the economy!"
-- On This Week with David Brinkley, March 28, 1993.
"To what extent, if any, do you think the political rhetoric to
which you just referred, has helped cause a climate in which people
could go in that direction? In other words, the rhetoric which says,
not just against big government, or liberal government, or dishonest
government, but 'I'm against government, government is the enemy?'"

George Will: "The Republican proposal is to increase spending on
medical care 5.4 percent for the next seven years....It is a cut
against projected increases."
Donaldson: "That's right, but that is a cut. May I just, without getting ad hominem here. Not too long ago, the Will family had a welcome addition, a child. So your budget perhaps had to increase to take care of the welcome addition. Yet if it could not increase enough to care for the welcome addition sufficiently, that's cut.

"From the start, modesty was not his style. Rejecting the House's
gentlemanly ways, he waged such constant guerrilla war against the
Democrats he was attacked for McCarthyism....It's a record filled with
contradictions: the family-values candidate who divorced his ailing
first wife, the avowed enemy of dirty politics who bounced 22 checks at
the House Bank, and runs a big-dollar political action committee that
won't disclose its contributors....Gingrich himself, bombastic and
ruthless, would be the most dramatic change imaginable."

"Steve Forbes pitches his flat tax scheme as an economic elixir good
for everything that ails us....It's the kind of optimistic message
people want to believe. But experts have trouble with many of Forbes'
specific promises, like how the flat tax would boost economic
growth....Forbes claims taxes can be lowered without adding to the
deficit....That was called supply-side economics under President
Reagan, less taxes equal more revenue. It didn't work out that
way...Okay, how about Forbes' number one wackiest flat tax promise?"
Forbes: "Parents would have more time to spend with their children, and with each other."

"George Bush's civil rights record is less than pristine. He vetoed

"There's no doubting that the nation is about to be led by its first sensitive male chief executive. He's the first President to have attended both Lamaze classes and family therapy (as part of his brother's drug rehabilitation.) He can speak in the rhythms and rhetoric of pop psychology and self-actualization. He can search for the inner self while seeking connectedness with the greater whole." -- January 25, 1993 Newsweek.
"The President's claims to budget-cutting fervor has some
plausibility. The deficit is down -- perhaps 40 percent more than had
been predicted, and Clinton vowed to submit a 'tough' budget next week.
In many ways, it will be. He'll propose cutting hundreds of programs
and eliminating dozens of others."

"You may recall that Ronald Reagan, on whom Forbes models himself,
said his tax cuts would balance the budget. Instead, they helped add
trillions to the national debt."

"Clinton is giving the best evidence yet of his approach to
leadership. It's about understanding, not threats; accommodation, not
confrontation; about getting people (or at least Democrats) to sing the
same song. The style is reminiscent of another patient, nonjudgmental
figure given to hugging in public: Barney the Dinosaur."

"The Oklahoma bombing has illuminated a once dark landscape much
farther afield: a radical fringe of militant gun owners, `hate radio'

"By the end of the week, appropriations subcommittees had taken the
first steps in cutting or eliminating more than $17 billion in
programs, many for the children and poor. They include: housing
assistance, clean water projects, summer youth programs, funding for
drug free schools, education programs, virtually the entire National
Service Corps, and, of course, the school lunch program. President
Clinton decried the cuts as an assault on children."

anger controls the child and not the other way around. It's the job of
the parent to teach the child to control the anger and channel it in a
positive way. Imagine a nation full of uncontrolled two-year-old rage.

"Dole had been invited speak to the [NAACP] convention yesterday,
but declined. He claimed he was already committed to campaigning and
the All-Star baseball game. To those at this convention, this was quite
a stretch and an insult to African-American voters....By not showing up
here, Bob Dole may reinforce those racial divides along party lines and
fuel the anxiety among some Republicans that in this presidential
campaign, Bob Dole might not be up to the challenge."
-- July 10, 1996 NBC Nightly News.
"He's called the Prince of Darkness. A darling of the ultra-right,
he's been a rabid attack dog against anything liberal. But this time
even he may have gone too far. In a newspaper interview, Senator Jesse
Helms says if President Clinton visits North Carolina, he'd `better
watch out' and `bring a bodyguard.' President Clinton took the high
ground....Critics call him a bigot, sexist, and homophobe and he seems
to wear it like a badge of honor."

"Meanwhile, the Republican Party itself has to regroup. During the
campaign, Republicans lost their identity as the party of less
government and fiscal restraint, and gained the reputation as the party
of intolerance and exclusion."

"Big winners won this round -- corporations, investors, people with
high incomes, including yours truly....But every good deal carries
trade-offs and here are some to this tax bill. One, it invites the
return of mischievous tax shelters that distort the economy. Two, you
can't be sure of its results. The 1981 tax cuts were followed by the
biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression. Three, by
encouraging consumption over savings the tax bill risks inflation.
Four, it stirs sleeping cynics. How come so many tax breaks are
proposed for wealthy individuals and corporations who've been pouring
money into party coffers at the rate of $123,000 a day?"
-- April 6, 1995 NBC Nightly News commentary on the Republican tax cut proposal.
"They're angry now that, most of the people who were killed were
connected, in one way or the other, to the federal government. They
thought of themselves as public servants. Then politicians and talk
radio turned them into faceless bureaucrats, and finally the terrorists
turned them into victims, and they're angry."

"Gingrich uses words as if they were napalm bombs...He sent
conservative candidates a long list of words to smear their opponents
-- words like `sick,' `pathetic,' `traitors,' `corrupt,' `anti-family,'
`disgrace.' With talk radio quoting it all back to us, our political
landscape is a toxic dump."

"The new Republican majority in Congress took a big step today on
its legislative agenda to demolish or damage government aid programs,
many of them designed to help children and the poor."
-- March 16, 1995 CBS Evening News.
"Democrats and Republicans in Congress late today came close to
actual physical blows over proposed cuts in Medicare. That's the
separate U.S. government health care coverage for 37 million older
Americans of all income levels. There's no doubt that Medicare spending
will be cut. The question is how much and for how many."
-- September 20, 1995.
"This is just for starters on a tough week ahead for President
Clinton and his agenda. From another offensive wave on Whitewater to a
sweeping rollback of federal regulations on health, safety, and the
environment, it's a political carpet-bombing attack, wall to wall,
House to Senate."

"President Clinton will outline his version of a plan he says will
balance the federal budget in ten years without what Mr. Clinton sees
as a radical and extremist Republican plan to gut programs that help

"One of the interesting things about Newt Gingrich is to become
Speaker without running in a national election. This is almost like a
parliamentary system where he ran in one small borough, and then
because his party won the majority, he becomes a national figure. So
it's an oddity that we're not used to in this system."
-- Washington Week in Review, Jan. 6, 1995.
"An awful lot of people, Cal, decided during the Reagan years that
this could be done painlessly. Remember Ronald Reagan, your old buddy,
he used to say, you know, `All you've got to do is cut waste, fraud,
and abuse, cut welfare, cut foreign aid,' and that's how you would
solve the problem. Reaganism never involved pain for God-fearing,
taxpaying, hard-working middle Americans. Now, finally, the Reagan
fantasy is coming face to face with reality."
-- On CNBC's Cal Thomas show, May 16, 1995.
"The Republicans, for 25 years, have seldom avoided the temptation
to play the race card politically in this country. It goes back to the
'60s, when Richard Nixon ran as a law-and-order President. In the '70s,
Ronald Reagan, and the late '70s, he ran for President in 1980 talking
about welfare queens, associating the Great Society programs with
minorities, and with waste, and with crime in the streets. There has
been a consistent impulse, Willie Horton was just a continuation of
that, to use this issue to divide people."
-- Washington Week in Review, May 8, 1992.
"In the Republican convention of '92, the message was not inclusive,
it was exclusive. It wasn't a unifying idea, it was a wedge idea, it
was dividing people, it was much more self-righteous. When Marilyn
Quayle got up and said, basically condemned women who out to work, you
know, I had the picture sitting there in the hall and thinking, all of
these women sitting there about to go to work in their beauty parlors
and their offices saying, `Thanks a whole lot, Marilyn, if I were
married to, you know, an heir of a newspaper fortune, I'd like to stay

"The Republicans on the Whitewater committee apparently leaked a
report... that First Lady Hillary Clinton, upon learning of the death
of White House counsel Vince Foster, dispatched her trusted lieutenants
to contain any political embarrassment or political damage that might
arise on the night of his death. That's a very harsh, that's a very
harsh assessment it seems to me. Democrats on the committee apparently
have not even seen the draft of the report yet. They say it's
outrageous that the committee could come to this kind of a conclusion
without even interviewing the First Lady."

Bob Schieffer: "I simply must challenge you, you're not saying the Democrats are not religious?"
Lott: "No, but I'm saying they seem to have a religious intolerance, they seem to be saying that people of religious faith should not be involved, that's what upsets me."

"Very frankly, I am very puzzled by one paragraph, one sentence in
the Vice President's speech on page six. In a very petulant voice, and
listen to the words: he said, `To Governor Clinton I say this: America
is the greatest nation in the world and that's one thing you're not
going to change.' Implying that Clinton is some kind of guerrilla,
saboteur, or what have you. That's my reaction to that line Ken Bode, I
don't know about you. It implies something that, it seems that he's
saying you're not as American as I am, your blood is not as red as
-- After VP Quayle's convention speech, August 20, 1992.
"Two years ago the American voters gave Bill Clinton a mandate for
change. He went to Washington, sought to create change. He had internal
problems with his staff, he had external problems. There were questions
about his personality, his character, et cetera. But I don't think
anyone can question that this man and his staff sought what was best
for the United States. Tonight, it is clear voters coast to coast in
this country have said `We want a change.' Now Republicans had voted
this Democrat to be virtually, or described him as a monster. My
question is essentially this: Where did he go wrong? What did he do so
wrong that was against the American body politic, considering that he
loves this country as much as you and I do?"

You clearly have an iron will, you clearly are skilled. How are you going to turn this personal misfortune into a personal triumph?"
"You think government should do a lot more than it's doing in terms
of making children a priority, doing things for kids. We're clearly

we need to have more programs, the government needs to be more

"Craig, we were talking about family values. That is the theme here.
A lot of people are saying, by the Republicans saying that as the theme
of their campaign, they're really excluding everybody but the people
who fit into the traditional nuclear family, the `Ozzie and Harriet'
image...People also want to know where in this big image do people who
are single mothers, who are blacks, who are people on welfare, who are

be right."

"Look, America is in a heartless mood. They would throw all those
babies in the snow if they could. We will see how they feel after it

"And to many women, Hillary Clinton is not a cold-eyed conspirator
but a martyr. Last week, 1,200 professional women clambered into a
$250,000 fundraiser for the Democratic Party in Boston to see Hillary
speak. Women teetered on high heels standing on precarious plastic
folding chairs to catch a glimpse of the First Lady as she worked the
crowd. Is there anything to Whitewater? `Noooo, she's just being bashed
by the press,' said Joan McGrath, a retired telephone worker. Why? `A

"The Republicans have no shame at all. Bob Dole, for example, bailed
out the Reagan administration in 1982 by restoring a lot of the tax

"A passionate and out-of-character defense of animals produced our
Moment of the Week this week. It was Thursday on the floor of the House
of Representatives. In the midst of a week that saw close to $10
billion in proposed cuts, House Speaker Newt Gingrich suddenly rose in
defense of a comparatively tiny $800,000. But the cause was apparently
dear to him, preserving endangered animals....Humans, however, didn't
fare that well: funding for the National Endowment for the Arts was

"Also here in Washington, there was a rare late-night session for
some in Congress in the effort to make a deal and avoid an impasse on

"It seems to me that you have angry white men here, sort of in their
natural state, and you know, gone berserk...This is the essence of the

mean you're just looking for anything to dredge up to say, 'Oh the
Clinton people are bad folks and Bob Dole, you know, elect Bob

White House, last year, with Mrs. Roosevelt. No one including Jean
Houston, the self-styled counselor, who suggested it and was

to say with whether they can keep it. Peter."

"There may be some small points here and there that Clinton might
have preferred not be there [in the platform] and some others that he
might have preferred would be there that aren't there. But basically he
wants to move the party back toward the middle. He's comfortable there
and he believes that that's where most Americans are. So what you've
got in this convention is Clinton and the moderates doing what McGovern
and the liberals did twenty years ago. They've taken over the
convention; they took over the platform process, the rules process,
they've moved the party. In turns of its image, at least, on paper and
what we've been seeing on television here in the convention hall for
the last few days, they have moved the party, picked it up and moved it
back toward the center. It depends on Clinton and Al Gore as to whether
or not they can sell that to the country..."

- D-Link Smart Managed 26-Port Gigabit PoE Switch including 2 Gigabit/SFP Combo Ports 518W PoE Budget, 802.3bt support
Product DescriptionSpecifications
The DGS-1100 Series is a range of switches designed to meet the requirements of small, medium, and enterprise businesses. Support for multiple PoE standards, high power budgets and 6 kV surge protection (MP/MPP models) make the DGS-1100 Series ideal for IP surveillance deployments. Advanced management features, a range of diagnostic and troubleshooting tools, and energy efficient technologies provide a flexible solution to your networking requirements.
D-Link Green/Power Saving Performance
Compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, the DGS-1100 Series consume less energy by cutting down on power consumption when port utilization is low. By deploying compatible devices, users can cut operating costs and even cut down on necessary cooling equipment, helping small and medium-sized businesses stay within their budgets. The DGS-1100 Series also features D-Link Green Technology that helps save energy automatically. The switches monitor the link status of every port and significantly reduce power consumption of the interface when there is no link or network traffic detected.
Easy to Deploy
The DGS-1100 Series supports an intuitive client-based utility (SmartConsole Utility or D-Link Network Assistant Utility) and a web-based management interface. The client-based utility discovers all D-Link Smart Switches within the same Layer 2 network segment, making the initial setup quick and easy. This allows extensive switch configuration and basic administration of discovered devices, including password changes and firmware upgrades. The web-based interface provides a user-friendly way for network administrators to manage the switch down to the port level. The interface can be accessed from a web browser, allowing the switch to be
controlled from any network-connected PC.
Auto Surveillance VLAN and Bandwidth Control
The DGS-1100 Series supports Surveillance VLAN for IP surveillance deployments. This gives video traffic a dedicated VLAN and higher priority through the switch, separating surveillance traffic from the rest of the network. This ensures security and guarantees the quality of the video traffic, sparing businesses the added cost of dedicated surveillance hardware. Bandwidth Control can reserve bandwidth on a per port basis for important functions that require larger bandwidth or might have high priority.
Advanced Features
The DGS-1100 Series is equipped with advanced security features such as Static MAC, Storm Control, and IGMP Snooping. Static MAC allows users to create a MAC whitelist for specific ports, helping administrators limit network access to authorized devices only. Storm Control monitors broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast traffic and will start blocking or discarding packets which could flood the network when the defined threshold is exceeded. IGMP Snooping is able to reduce the loading of L3 multicast routers and save bandwidth in network throughput.
Easy Troubleshooting
The DGS-1100 Series features Loopback Detection and Cable Diagnostics to help network administrators find and solve network problems quickly and easily. Loopback Detection is used to detect loops created by a specific port and automatically shuts down the affected port. Cable Diagnostics helps network administrators quickly examine the quality of the copper cables, recognize the cable type, and detect cable errors.
PoE Support
The DGS-1100-08P/24P/10MP/10MPP/26MP/26MPP provide support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), reducing deployment time for IP cameras, VoIP phones, and access points. Dedicated power adapters are no longer required, as the DGS-1100-24P/10MP/26MP comply with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE standards and provide up to 30 watts per port. The DGS-1100-08P complies with the 802.3af standard and provides up to 15.4 watts per port, while the DGS-1100-10MPP/26MPP comply with 802.3af, 802.3at, 802.3bt draft and UPoE and can supply up to 75 watts on a selected number of ports.

Google is working on a new Gmail redesign, the first since 2011, according to reports.
Google made some changes to its new mobile Gmail design, but now it's going to work on its desktop Gmail client too, according to Geek. However, if you liked the new mobile design, the desktop version will look very familiar.
The overall change is visible, and it lessens the importance of the tab system users were forced into last year. The window can shrink so you can look at incoming email and individual emails show up as "bars", according to Geek, with plenty of information if searching for information. There will also be new reminder and creation buttons at the bottom of the screens to let users know if there's something they need to do. (These can also be customized if you find them annoying or use them to create a checklist of chores.)
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Gmail also borrows "pinning" and allows users to pin important emails before others, or users can turn it off and use chronological order for their email.
So far all the new features have been leaked, so there's no word from Google when the new Gmail will be operational -- or even if it's coming. Until then, keep looking at your Gmail to see if any new features begin to launch.

The always-readable Knoxville historian Jack Neely weighs in on the disappearing Farragut monument, and considers the wider implications. His assessment is that we East Tennesseans have been pretty lousy stewards of our historic resources, and I heartily agree with him.
"Laws of probability suggest that every privately owned historic site will eventually end up in the hands of someone who doesn't care much about history," he writes. "Independent-minded property owners have an advantage over preservationists: one property owner can cancel generations of care. Without some permanent enforceable protections in place, a community will erase its own history." Of course, "permanent enforceable protections" will mean curbs on doing what we darn well please, which is anathema to a great many people.
I've been a conservative for quite a long time, and historic preservation is one of those areas where I often find myself in disagreement with fellow members of my political persuasion. Look, I'm all for a robust conception of property rights. The notion that a man can be told what to do or what not to do with what he owns gets my blood boiling; if you can't do what you want with your property, one wonders if it's really your property. But I also believe there is such a thing as responsibility to the common good, and protection of historic resources is very much a part of that common good. Few people ask for the onerous responsibility of stewardship over these resources, but a responsibility is never abrogated just because it isn't desired.
We conservatives are a rather schizophrenic lot. We cheer when our leaders pose for photo-ops at museums and historic sites to spout platitudes about our heritage, and then we cheer just as loudly when they make decisions that deprive those museums and sites of the resources they need to maintain and share the heritage they invoke. We preach about looking back to our predecessors who sacrificed to secure the freedoms we enjoy, and then we exercise these freedoms by erasing all trace of those predecessors whenever it serves our immediate self-interest.
Oh, we absolutely love to invoke the past, so long as it doesn't cost us anything.

iHome's new headphones become speakers
When you want to share your music with those around you, just take off the headphones, turn the ear cups sideways, and connect them via a small clip in the sides. The headphones automatically crank up the output and become a set of portable speakers.
It's a unique idea, but I'm skeptical as to how they can be effective as much more than an audio novelty. Since the headphones use the same 50mm drivers in both headphone and speaker mode, there are probably some major acoustic concerns. If they're built to be good headphones, the driver placement and power output, even cranked up, won't be optimal for speakers. If they're built to be good speakers, then turned way down they'll probably be muffled headphones. A two-driver system with a switching mechanism to actually change what driver the headphones use in what mode might be a more effective design.
Either way, it's certainly an interesting product, and handy if you don't want to carry portable headphones but want to occasionally listen out loud.

That crust looks amazing, Norma. Very colorful toppings, too. I don't think I can hold off now until Saturday for pizza! -ME
Norma,It would be interesting to see photos of Steve's (Ev's) pizzas using the same recipe (as modified to use the whey liquid) but baking the pizzas in his home oven. Peter
Actually Norma, Those pictures are not accurate. Both the pepperoni pies are yours. The last one, with the red and yellow peppers is my standard Lehmann style dough recipe, except using only only whey. Not shown is the garlic alfredo pie, using a poolish made with water( about 1/3) and the remainder(about 2/3) of the liquid being whey.
I'll be using a old Hobart 30 qt mixer that only mixes on the second setting because the knob has been soldered. As for the flour I have access to the local pizza distributor called Labrada distributors and they have a high gluten flour witch I guess they get from the states and repackage under there name. I'm looking for a NY style dough with good dough elasticity. The dough I've been doing has been wrong all along until Norma told me about this site. The dough I made, used an empty can of Saporito sauce to measure the flour so I would put 3 cans of flour in the mixer with 1 can of water 5 ounces of sugar and 5 ounces of salt 2 ounces of granulated garlic 2.5 ounces of IDY and 5 ounces of vegetable oil, that alone is so wrong on so many levels. First I would put the dry ingredients including IDY in the bowl next the oil, water sifted it then added the flour and then to get mixed. After 8-10 minutes I would cut and ball about 13-15 dough balls but they would rise within 15-minutes. The dough would never be the same maybe really dry or really moist. Im trying to learn and atleast I've found this forum thanks to Norma and appreciate any help I can get.Sean T.
Norma,Thanks for keeping us up to date on your progress with the Lehmann poolish-based pizzas. They all look very inviting. It would be interesting to see photos of Steve's (Ev's) pizzas using the same recipe (as modified to use the whey liquid) but baking the pizzas in his home oven. Peter

Picture: Ennio Morricone - Legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone received a Volta Award from Jameson Dublin International Film Festival at The Light House Cinema, Dublin -...
Revered Italian composer Ennio Morricone has vowed never to work with Quentin Tarantino again, because he didn't like the way his music was used in Django Unchained.
The 84-year-old maestro has worked with the filmmaker on four projects, but has slammed Tarantino for using music "without coherence".
The man behind classic Spaghetti Western film themes including The Good The Bad and the Ugly and A Fistful of Dollars gave Tarantino permission to use his Ancora Qui in Django Unchained, alongside three instrumental pieces. The two film icons also worked together on Inglourious Basterds and the two Kill Bill films.
But, speaking to students at Rome's LUISS University earlier this week (begs11Mar13), Morricone said, "I wouldn't like to work with him again, on anything. He said last year (12) he wanted to work with me again ever since Inglourious Basterds, but I told him I couldn't, because he didn't give me enough time. So he just used a song I had written previously."
Explaining the reason behind his Tarantino boycott, the composer added, "He places music in his films without coherence... and you can't do anything with someone like that."
And Morricone admits he wasn't a fan of Django Unchained: "I didn't care for it, too much blood."

Prince Harry Proposes, 'Teen Mom' Stars Run Wild, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton Are Knocked Up + More in This Week's Tabloids
We read Life & Style, Us Weekly, National Enquirer, OK! and Star this week for you. No applause necessary.
And what did we learn? Khloe Kardashian won't take off her bikini, Kate Middleton's baby bump has been out posing for pictures, Clint Eastwood is divorcing an alien, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton are spawning, the Kardashians' deep, dark secret of being a totally fake family is out -- and all kinds of other really real stuff you'd have to read to believe.
Life & Style
Khloe Kardashian has lost 30 pounds and is back in a bikini. And, based on the photo, she's also front in a bikini. Unfortunately, now that she found the diet that has changed her body forever and she finally flaunts her figure, she won't wear anything but the bikini.
Everywhere. To the store. To important meetings. Even to court when suing various family members or fighting over the results of paternity tests. She couldn't even manage to wear anything but the bikini for her Life & Style photo shoot.
We aren't fans of the bikini but we are fans of a no-starve, wine-friendly meal plan.
We can hardly believe it because it just doesn't seem like something a reality show star would do, but Bachelor Sean is marrying for money. As if the star of 'The Bachelor' and now 'Dancing With the Stars' would do anything just for the money. We all know he's getting married so he can finally have the sex he's been pretending he hasn't had but totally has.
Bethenny Frankel says, "My ex is spying on me." She knows something has been implanted in her chest and she's sure it's listening and video devices and not just those really bad bolt-on boobs. On the upside, sometimes she can also tune in radio stations if it's a clear night and she faces east.
Get ready to OMG your head right off, because Prince Harry's going to propose. Marriage? Hardly. More like he's going to propose we all stop talking about Kate's baby bump like it's a spectator sport. He's going to propose we don't take any more photos of him while he's partying in Vegas. He's going to propose that his cousins stop wearing ridiculous hats to family events.
Prince Harry has a lot of ideas. He really doesn't get enough credit.
Us Weekly
Speaking of Kate's baby bump, Us Weekly has new photos. They've also started the countdown to baby. According to the magazine, the royal couple is ditching the baby nurse, choosing a name, and shopping for the nursery, among other final preparations. It's only May. This will go on until July. (At this point, we're kind of on board with Harry's proposal above.)
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have put their wedding on hold. Most likely because Jen is giving birth to fake twins for the fourth or fifth time and that really takes it out of a girl. She also had second thoughts about that pre-nup, so her lawyers are working hard to draft something that assures her Justin won't be able to leave her for some skinny orphan-hoarding homewrecker a couple of years from now.
Just like everyone else, Us Weekly wonders what went wrong with MTV's 'Teen Mom' monsters.
It couldn't be that they had children while they were still children and are now stunted in their own maturity, could it? Maybe it's that their less-than-ideal life choices are being glorified and making them all kinds of cash. Nah, it's probably just video games and photos of models in magazines. Those are the things that usually make kids go bad.
And, because we just can't get enough, there are beach bump photos of Kim Kardashian's Greek babymoon. They call it a babymoon because the bump is now big enough to affect the tides. The Greek part is (we hope) because Kim likes to eat a lot of feta cheese and souvlaki. Opa!
National Enquirer
There are some juicy Hollywood divorce shockers in the National Enquirer. We were hoping to find out all these people were actually married to aliens, but it's just the normal, not-that-shocking, Hollywood marriage stuff.
For example, Miranda Lambert might divorce Blake Shelton since his cheating and lies have been exposed, Clint Eastwood could divorce his wife Dina because of her dangerous pill popping and booze habits, and Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are having some divorce attorney drama.
Thankfully, if you're on the edge of your seat, the National Enquirer knows whose marriage can be saved and whose can't. (We still think there are aliens in there somewhere.)
They also know about the Boston bomber's creepy obsession with Miss USA. It's just one more thing he shares in common with Donald Trump (aside from questionable people skills and oddly poufy hair). Someone may want to call Maury Povich and see about arranging a paternity test.
You probably aren't ready for this, but former 'Munsters' star Butch Patrick is involved in a murder bombshell. Unlike the editors at the Enquirer, we realize that it's in poor taste to use the term "bombshell" right next to a blurb about a suspected murderer who used a bomb as his weapon of choice, but we have to write it like we see it.
Anyway, there is a shocking claim by the victim's sister, which is that someone still remembers or cares who the Munsters and Butch Patrick are.
It's not Halloween, but it looks like Maria Shriver has left the house with a mask on. Either that or she's been involved in a plastic surgery nightmare. Yikes. Of course, it's possible that the magazine cover staff just put a lot of time and effort into finding the worst possible snapshot of the former Mrs. Arnold Schwarzenegger, but even so, we have to find out what happened.
Even though they've spent the last month or so on the cover of various tabloids for having marital issues, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton – who deny they have problems – have announced, "Yes, we're having a baby!" The country stars reveal their big pregnancy news and either discredit all the rumors about their shaky union or prove that celebrities are just like us regular folk and think that having a baby will solve problems rather than create brand new ones.
The big question is now, can Blake be trusted? Apparently he's been known to eat babies, or something.
Aw, Kim Kardashian is pregnant and betrayed. In the tabloid world, these words are considered the same as the date and a barcode -- they must appear on the cover of every issue. The difference is that this time she's been betrayed by her elastic waistbands, which have left her for a less stressful life.
OK! magazine knows the real reason Angelina Jolie is so skinny. She's adopted so many starving kids that by the time it's her turn to eat, the food is all gone. Also, looking at Brad Pitt's scraggly hair and hobo beard makes her lose her appetite. We totes understand.
In an interview, Selena Gomez tells her side of the story. It's not a long interview because her story is still pretty short, but basically she tells the world that she can beat Justin Bieber at arm wrestling and she has no intention of following in the twerky footsteps of Amanda Bynes. Unless she needs the press, of course.
It must be getting crowded in the woodwork, because someone is coming out: A former Kardashian nanny is telling all! Her new book exposes 15 years of dark and dirty secrets. Probably the darkest and dirtiest of which is that the Kardashians are "a family of fakes."
Thank goodness we finally have a book to spell that out for us. They've kept that secret under lock and key for all these years because ... what? Is this like the Ark of the Covenant or something? Are our faces melting right now?!
No? Whew. Then we'll be able to address the fact that Reese Witherspoon is in crisis. We know you're experienced at identifying such things, but it's worse than you think. She's got a movie to promote and tons of free press, and everyone knows a viral video is the worst thing that can happen to someone who needs media attention.
In other overzealous use of the word "bombshell" news, there's a 'Real Housewives' bombshell. Something so shocking that seeing it in print is almost not enough, so it's a good thing there's photo proof inside the magazine -- because, without it, you'll never believe that Joe Giudice cheated on his real housewife Teresa again. The italics version of "again." You know what that means.
If you think you've got problems, the Pitt-Jolies have got you beat. Brad and Angelina spend $12,000 on wrinkle treatments every week. These two seemingly gorgeous people are so hideously wrinkled that they must be unrecognizable without their expensive Hollywood skin treatments. If they ever decide to let themselves go, they'll apparently be able to ferret away more children in the folds of those heinous wrinkles.

The American (or Eastern) hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) and desert (or spiny) hackberry (Celtis pallida) grow from shrub to tree, the former reaching 25-40 feet in height and the latter reaching 12-16 feet in height. The former grow on dry and often rocky uplands and on slopes, while the latter grow in desert foothills or mesas at 1,500 to 3,500 feet elevation. Also known as sugarberry, honeyberry, bastard elm, or Granjeno, when planted and cared for, one variety or another will grow anywhere in the United States and southern Canada. They produce single berry-like fruit, 1/5 to 1/3 inch in diameter, ripening to yellow to red-orange. The fruit contain a large single seed surrounded by a thinly skinned, sweet layer of flesh. If watered well during formation and maturation, the berries ripen into an edible treat which can be ground (seeds and all) to make jelly, used in baking, or made into wine. In dry years without supplemental watering they are not worth gathering. In wet years, the berries are lucious and very sweet.
Taste the berries. If sweet and pulpy, pick as many as you can reach. If hard and dry, forget it for another year. You'll need 2 pounds to make a gallon of wine, so don't eat too many while picking if you're in doubt as to yield. The recipe below will make a heavenly wine if the crop has merit.
Boil the water and dissolve half the sugar. Wash the berries, being sure to discard any bad or immature ones. Pour berries into primary and crush with sterilized end of baseball bat, 4x4 lumber, or other suitable device. Pour boiling water over berries and stir frequently while water cools to 70 degrees F. When water has cooled, add grape concentrate, acid blend, tannin, crushed Campden tablet, and yeast nutrient. Cover and wait 6-8 hours, then add pectic enzyme. Wait another 6-8 hours and add yeast. Cover with muslin, towel or plastic sheet. Stir daily until vigorous fermentation dies down (6-9 days). Strain, add remaining sugar, stir well to dissolve, and recover. After 3 additional days, siphon into secondary. Do not top up. Add airlock and set aside. Top up when wine goes still. Rack after 30 days in secondary, top up and refit airlock. Rack again every 30 days (but at least twice) until wine clears. Rack again and allow to age in secondary additional two months. Rack again, stabilize, sweeten to taste (or leave dry), and bottle. Best if very slightly sweetened and served chilled. May taste after 6 months, but is better if aged a year. [Author's own recipe]

Imagine a discussion between four people - one a developer, one a manager, one a tester and one a deployment/operations type.
The Manager is very angry as a system has fallen over after a new version of code was deployed into production. He is looking to point fingers.
Operations person pleads ignorance - they followed the deployment steps exactly.
Tester pleads ignorance - they have functionally tested code and it worked fine in test environment.
Development person pleads ignorance - they provided good code, and claim that the system badly configured.
This situation may seem familiar to some. There's always an excuse, some mistake made along the chain - from design to deployment - that allows a system to be upgraded but doesn't work as intended.
What are the pros and cons of diagnosis testing - tests run built into the application (perhaps through a command line API or something) that would allow a system to check it's internal connections (database, middleware, filesystem etc) and confirm that everything it expects to work is correct?
This is rather than relying on an external monitoring system that may not be configured in the same fashion as the application? (new release, different properties, looking at the wrong database etc)
An example :
I'm writing a class that interacts with a database. Within this class, I create a method that interacts with the database without affecting it, say a simple select query.
In the constructor of this class, I pass to an observer a test based on the arguments passed into the constructor. This observer can be called to run all the tests it has at any time so as to test for the validity of the connection - even while the system is actually running.

Former UT pitcher says moment worth the pain
Recommended Video:
AUSTIN — The man who went under the knife insists he was headed there one way or another.
His doctors told him it's possible his need for surgery might have been the result of a long-ago collision that finally took its toll on his collarbone. His old coach, disgusted by the implication he's somehow responsible, says he's sure he had nothing to do with it.
But let's assume for a moment they're wrong.
Let's assume that two years ago, during the longest game in college baseball history, Texas coach Augie Garrido ruined Austin Wood's arm. Let's assume that when Garrido allowed Wood to throw 13 innings and 169 pitches of relief, just a day after he'd pitched two innings in UT's previous game, it began a chain of events that led to Wood missing almost all of last season because of shoulder surgery.
Let's assume that another theory offered by Wood's doctors, that his injury was the result of overuse, is the correct one. And let's assume that because of one epic night on May 30, 2009, Wood will never make the major leagues.
Given all those assumptions, how does Wood feel today?
"It's still the best thing that's ever happened to me," Wood said. "I'll forever be indebted to (Garrido) for it."
Wood is playing pro baseball today, but as a middle reliever for the Double-A Erie Seawolves in the Detroit Tigers' organization, he's not a top prospect. In 2009, when he battled inconsistency throughout his senior season as a closer at UT, it was debatable that he'd ever become one.
But on the second night of the NCAA tournament, with UT and Boston College tied 2-2 in the seventh inning at Disch-Falk Field, he took the mound for the performance that would immortalize him as one of the most celebrated figures in Longhorns sports history.
The left-hander from Kingwood didn't merely keep UT in the game. He shut down the Eagles over and over again, and kept going back for more. He threw the equivalent of a nine-inning no-hitter. Then he extended it to 12. He finally yielded his first hit after recording 37 outs, and left the game after his 13th scoreless inning of work.
The Longhorns won the game 3-2 in 25 innings and went on to the College World Series championship game. Two years later, the attention Wood gets for his masterpiece hasn't waned.
"People bring it up three times a week," Wood said. "It doesn't get old."
Garrido still speaks of Wood's performance with nothing short of reverence.
"He obviously was pitching the game of his life," Garrido said. "It's one of the things I talk about when I talk about baseball being a magical game."
But not everyone looks at the romanticized view. Pro scouts have long lamented what they consider routine abuse of college arms, and when Wood underwent surgery last year, it was heralded as evidence he'd been overworked.
Although Wood said his doctors told him excessive throwing wasn't the only possible cause of his injury, it didn't change the perception that Garrido shouldn't have let Wood keep pitching on his night of glory. One American League scout called it "absolutely irresponsible."
"He was not conditioned to that type of workload," the scout said. "As a young man in his early 20s, he was physically immature. There is little doubt the abuse contributed (to the shoulder problems)."
But in the UT dugout two years ago, the rest of Wood's career was not high on the list of concerns. Garrido said he didn't have an accurate pitch count available. But at one point, after he'd thrown six innings, Wood heard Garrido and pitching coach Skip Johnson mulling the possibility of making a pitching change. Wood famously walked past and told them, "Don't even think of taking me out of this game."
"I wanted to do the job myself," Wood said. "I knew I was capable of it. I knew my body, and I was fine."
Garrido maintains he never second-guessed the decision to let him keep going.
"I think people are capable of doing amazing things, and I feel responsible for giving him that chance," Garrido said.
Wood said he never felt tired in any of his 13 innings, but "as soon as I got pulled, it was like I hit a wall. I was past exhausted at that point."
His fatigue was understandable.
In minor league baseball, few pitchers are allowed to throw more than 100 pitches in any game. Some major leaguers occasionally get their pitch counts to 120, but those who do are starters who work on at least four days of rest. Wood had spent all of 2009 as a reliever and had thrown 30 pitches the night before the Boston College game.
Two other pitchers who carried big workloads in the game have not fared well since. Boston College's Mike Belfiore, who threw 129 pitches in relief, was selected by Arizona in the first round of the 2009 draft but has regressed. He has a 6.43 ERA in High-A ball this year. The Longhorns' Austin DiCharry, who warmed up multiple times and threw the last 5 2/3 innings to earn the victory, has missed almost all of the last two seasons at UT because of arm and shoulder issues.
Shortly after the victory, Garrido anticipated a backlash.
"I told (Wood), 'Don't get hurt, because for the next 10 years, it's going to be our fault if you do,'" he said.
Wood's injury didn't exactly change the college game, though. At the Austin Regional last week, Texas State, Kent State and UT each had pro prospects throw more than 100 pitches in a start, then come back on short rest to throw again. In Monday's championship clincher, UT used four pitchers who'd started in the previous three days, including Sam Stafford, who wound up throwing 171 pitches in less than 72 hours.
That didn't keep the New York Yankees from drafting Stafford in the second round on Tuesday.
All volunteered for the duty, and Garrido said he had no problems letting them perform. He also said he lends no credence to the idea that Wood's injury is his fault.
"None," Garrido said. "He was in the moment."
It's a moment Wood still treasures. And it's why he still thanks the man some say he should blame.
"I'm 100 percent behind Coach Garrido," Wood said. "If he wouldn't have let me do what he did, none of this would have happened."

State of the Union Smack Down *Video*
Mac Slavo
January 25th, 2012
The CATO Institute responds to President Obama's 2012 State of the Union address on issues that include job creation, taxes, small business policy, education, Iran, the energy industry, Congressional authority to wage war, and even addresses secret assassination lists.
While the President paints a rosy picture (it is an election year after all), not everything is as it seems. Taking a brief look just below the surface of the platitudes reveals a completely different story, not just about the state of affairs in America, but the willingness of officials on all levels of government to continue perpetuating the myth of a system where we get something for nothing.
The president's address — more campaign speech than policy platform — was long on calls for "fairness" and "opportunity," but it really boiled down to the president's vision of a society where government does everything for everyone — financed, of course, by higher taxes on "the rich," who need to pay "their fair share."
