There was no question about Juliet Huddy Christmas mojo. “Do not remove the Ginger Man!” She said finally.

But O’Reilly said: “I know what the woman trying to do. But is it too much? ”

Just the fact that he even asked such a question must have sent a shock wave in the heart of the Christmas warriors throughout the country, if not the world.

O’Reilly went on to say Groth “intention is good, but it could be – imagine if you lived next to this woman. I mean, you’d be blinded. It would take to get a German shepherd to show you. There is a lot of power. ”

“You are very Scrooge-like,” Huddy country. She thought the city should lighten up and go back. “She does it for charity. It raises money for charity. The people of his district should collect money for her to pay an electrician. ”

Hugh Hefner engaged at 80 to Crystal Harris

There's no slowing this magazine mogul down as 84 year old Hugh Hefner engaged to his young sweetheart, Crystal Harris who is 24.

Hefner reported on via his personal twitter account last night, "When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears. This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory."

Now, perhaps his memory isn't all that good because we are sure he's had many upon many happy Christmas celebrations with tons of beautiful women.

The two began dating almost two years ago and we can't help but to feel kind of bad for our favorite girl next door Holly Madison who wanted to marry Hugh Hefner a while back. Hef claimed he wasn't wanting to get married again, and well, I guess he c

wikileaks rahul gandhi

Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Saturday tore into Rahul Gandhi for his alleged remarks that "radicalised Hindu groups" may be a bigger danger than Islamist terrorists. Speaking to newspersons in Mumbai on Saturday, Modi said Rahul's comments only helped

Pakistan.

"Through the WikiLeaks expose, it has been revealed who has given all the information to the US. Now, it is clear why the US is backing Pakistan," Modi said.

In a similar reaction, Thackeray questioned Rahul's credentials for commenting on Hindu terrorism and advised him "not to act too smart".

"Who is Rahul Gandhi," he demanded, adding that he need not point out Rahul's "Italian connections".

Thackeray also warned the Congress leader against attacking Hindus, saying that failure to do so would mean that "they would retaliate and tackle him by the horns".

Rahul last year told US Ambassador to India Timothy Roemer that "the growth of radicalised Hindu groups" may be a "bigger threat" to India than support to some Islamic terror groups from the Muslim community, according to diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks.

Rahul told Roemer that although "there was evidence of some support (for Islamic terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba) among certain elements in India's indigenous Muslim community, the bigger threat may be the growth of radicalised Hindu groups, which create religious tensions and political confrontations with the Muslim community", the Guardian reported on Friday.

A group of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activists burnt Rahul's effigy near the Congress party district office in Thane Saturday afternoon, shouting slogans and carrying placards.

The protest passed off without any untoward incident, a police officer said.

ansel adams

Rick Norsigian's hobby of picking through piles of unwanted items at garage sales in search of antiques has paid off for the Fresno, California, painter.

Two small boxes he bought 10 years ago for $45 -- negotiated down from $70 -- are now estimated to be worth at least $200 million, according to a Beverly Hills art appraiser.

Those boxes contained 65 glass negatives created by famed nature photographer Ansel Adams in the early period of his career. Experts believed the negatives were destroyed in a 1937 darkroom fire that destroyed 5,000 plates.

"It truly is a missing link of Ansel Adams and history and his career," said David W. Streets, the appraiser and art dealer who is hosting an unveiling of the photographs at his Beverly Hills, California, gallery Tuesday.

* Ansel Adams

The photographs apparently were taken between 1919 and the early 1930s, well before Adams -- who is known as the father of American photography -- became nationally recognized in the 1940s, Streets said.

"This is going to show the world the evolution of his eye, of his talent, of his skill, his gift, but also his legacy," Streets said. "And it's a portion that we thought had been destroyed in the studio fire."

How these 6.5 x 8.5 inch glass plate negatives of famous Yosemite landscapes and San Francisco landmarks -- some of them with fire damage -- made their way from Adams collection 70 years ago to a Southern California garage sale in 2000 can only be guessed.

The person who sold them to Norsigian at the garage sale told him he bought them in the 1940s at a warehouse salvage in Los Angeles.

Photography expert Patrick Alt, who helped confirm the authenticity of the negatives, suspects Adams carried them to use in a photography class he was teaching in Pasadena, California, in the early 1940s.

"It is my belief that he brought these negatives with him for teaching purposes and to show students how to not let their negatives be engulfed in a fire," Alt said. "I think this clearly explains the range of work in these negatives, from very early pictorialist boat pictures, to images not as successful, to images of the highest level of his work during this time period."

Alt said it is impossible to know why Adams would store them in Pasadena and never reclaim them.

The plates were individually wrapped in newspaper inside deteriorating manila envelopes. Notations on each envelope appeared to have been made by Virginia Adams, the photographer's wife, according to handwriting experts Michael Nattenberg and Marcel Matley. They compared them to samples provided by the Adams' grandson.

While most of the negatives appear never to have been printed, several are nearly identical to well-known Adams prints, the experts said.

Meteorologist George Wright studied clouds and snow cover in a Norsigian negative to conclude that it was taken at about the same time as a known Adams photo of a Yosemite tree.

In addition to Yosemite -- the California wilderness that Adams helped conserve -- the negatives depict California's Carmel Mission, views of a rocky point in Carmel, San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, a sailing yacht at sea and an image of sand dunes.

"The fact that these locations were well-known to Adams, and visited by him, further supports the proposition that all of the images in the collection were most probably created by Adams," said art expert Robert Moeller.

Moeller said that after six months of study, he concluded "with a high degree of probability, that the images under consideration were produced by Ansel Adams.

Silver tarnishing on the negatives also helped date the plates to around the 1920s, Alt said.

"I have sent people to prison for the rest of their lives for far less evidence than I have seen in this case," said evidence and burden of proof expert Manny Medrano, who was hired by Norsigian to help authenticate them. "In my view, those photographs were done by Ansel Adams."

Norsigian, who has spent the last decade trying to prove the worth of his discovery, is now ready to cash in -- by selling original prints of the photographs to museums and collectors.

"I have estimated that his $45 investment easily could be worth up to $200 million," Streets said.

bleach episode 281

On the judgment side the episode was great, like all other Bleach episodes. The Bleach Episode 281 was all about the king of Hueco Mundo and his battle with the good guys. The main fight comes between Ushoda and Barragan. The fight turns out to be excellent and it is the fight that is actually the center of the attention of the whole Bleach Episode 281.

As it happens that Barragan first blows off the rest of the good guys and then Ushoda comes in front of him to face him. It is then that the fight between the two great forces starts. The fight is stretched by the long dialogs of the characters but Barragan manages to get some of his deadly smoke on Ushoda’s fingers and this his fingers start to disinterate, but right then Ushoda gets the idea to teleport his withering hand inside of Barragan, which he does and that results in the death of Barragan.

One of the unspoken tragedies and implicit

intentions of Arizona's anti-immigrant law, SB 1070, is the promotion of a climate of fear among certain segments of the population. This fear-mongering strategy has been cooked up by the bill's leading proponents and most likely beneficiaries: the governor, rightwing state legislators, and an unscrupulous sheriff who shall remain nameless. As the political leadership of a failing state, they should be squarely on the hot seat, but instead they have managed to deflect scrutiny and pass the buck down the ladder to the bottom rung instead.

Here in Arizona, constant talk of murders, beheadings, escalating crime, and a rising tide of violence due to the presence of illegal immigrants has fanned the flames of terror and suspicion. It is empirically false but emotionally persuasive, in the true spirit of propaganda and demagoguery. Reporters' questions about the propriety of elected officials denigrating their own state can be sidestepped -- but now, the chickens may be coming home to roost, as indicated by a recent article in The Daily Beast:

[T]he fierce debate over Arizona's new migrant law ... has stirred up the ugly underside of immigration -- hate groups with nativist and white-supremacist links. Long story short, Arizona's new immigration law gives "racism a place to hide," says Roxanne Doty, an Arizona State University professor who has long studied the nexus of white supremacy and immigration policy in Arizona.... "My view is you can't separate white supremacists from what is going on with Arizona immigration," Professor Doty says. "Even if politicians say they aren't associated with white supremacists, the ideas behind SB 1070 are very attractive to white supremacists...."

There is mounting evidence to support these claims, including the presence of avowed neo-Nazis "wearing camouflage and toting high-powered firearms" while patrolling for -- and detaining -- illegal aliens on the Arizona-Mexico border. As reported by the Associated Press and reprinted in papers around the state:

Jason "J.T." Ready is taking matters into his own hands, declaring war on "narco-terrorists" and keeping an eye out for illegal immigrants.... Ready's group is heavily armed and identifies with the National Socialist Movement, an organization that believes only non-Jewish, white heterosexuals should be American citizens and that everyone who isn't white should leave the country "peacefully or by force." ... He and his friends are outfitted with military fatigues, body armor and gas masks, and carry assault rifles. Ready takes offense at the term "neo-Nazi," but admits he identifies with the National Socialist Movement. "These are explicit Nazis," said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project. "These are people who wear swastikas on their sleeves." Ready is a reflection of the anger over illegal immigration in Arizona....

In a series of blogs and articles beginning in 2008, the Phoenix New Times has documented the rising presence of white supremacists and neo-Nazis in the state, and their repeated connections with elected officials including the senatorial sponsor of SB 1070. Some of the more disturbing reports include not only financial and political intertwining, but also a perverse rapport that is juxtaposed with visceral images of extremists shouting "sieg heil" at immigrant rights marchers and wiping imaginary "Mexcrement" (as they called it) on a Mexican flag.

Still, this could all be written off as childish posturing and low-level hijinks. Except for the fact that hate groups are extremely dangerous, not only for what they represent but for the acts committed in their name. Recently in Arizona there have been hate crimes with explicit "white power" fingerprints on them, the murder of a Hispanic man attributed by family members to the tensions created by SB 1070, and a robbery-murder enterprise conducted by apparent vigilantes ostensibly to fund their "border security" operations.

Furthermore, and perhaps most strikingly, there has been a wave of violence AGAINST undocumented people in the past two years that has gone largely unnoticed in the furor over SB 1070, as recently reported by the Nogales International:

Another undocumented immigrant has been shot in Santa Cruz County. Jose Enedion Acosta-Amaniego, 28, from Culiacan, Sinaloa, was shot in the back by unidentified assailants as he was walking through a canyon area west of Rio Rico on July 2, officials said.... A similar attack occurred on June 11 when five illegal border-crossers were ambushed by two camouflage-clad gunmen near the dead end of Peck Canyon Drive in Rio Rico. One of the men, Manuel Esquer Gomez, 45, was shot in the arm as the group fled. Following that attack, Sheriff Antonio Estrada expressed concern that someone might be targeting undocumented immigrants in the county solely for the purpose of harming them, not to rob them.... According to records kept by the Nogales International, more than 50 incidents of borderland robberies and/or assaults have been reported to the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office since April 10, 2008. During these incidents, nearly a dozen people have been shot and at least three have been killed. Their assailants have been described as men carrying semi-automatic weapons and wearing black and/or camouflage who lie in ambush on the U.S. side of the border. Another three cases of sexual assault against undocumented immigrants have been reported to local authorities, but officials and advocates say the incidence of the crime is common and most often goes unreported.

Fostering an environment of racialized violence is the harsh reality of Arizona's drive toward legislated intolerance. For those who might feel saturated by the incessant news about immigration, or who wonder "what's the big deal?" about SB 1070 and the like, this is a reminder of the stakes involved. Will there be a climate of escalating fear, hatred, and violence that takes over, or will this be a tipping point toward social justice and human dignity instead? Politics and legalities aside, this is the basic question that the Arizona dilemma is posing to the nation -- mirroring that which was posed by Martin Luther King, Jr. almost half a century ago: "Will we be extremists for hate or for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice?"

The choice lies squarely ahead. No matter what ensues in the near term, navigating this path will continue to be our task. In the end, as King observed, it shall remain the case that "right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant." Time will soon tell.

The brains behind the WikiLeaks website

that posted reams of classified military documents detailing U.S. failures in Afghanistan is a mystery man with secrets of his own.

White haired and spectral thin, Julian Assange roams the world incessantly - rarely sleeping in the same place two nights in a row - due to a growing enemies list.

His goal, Assange said in a recent New Yorker magazine profile, is to expose injustice by revealing secrets that could "bring down many administrations that rely on concealing reality - including the U.S. administration."

"WikiLeaks aims to achieve political reforms by getting out information that has been suppressed to the public," he told Voice of America. "As far as we're aware, we've never made a mistake."

Born in an Australian beach town in 1971, Assange was a self-schooled computer hacker who was busted after breaking into a telecom company's master terminal and messaging the administrator, "It's been nice playing with your system."

A successful custody battle with the mother of his only son planted the seed of what would later become WikiLeaks.

Determined to break through the bureaucracy, Assange urged child protection workers to dish to a "central data bank."

The brains behind the WikiLeaks website

that posted reams of classified military documents detailing U.S. failures in Afghanistan is a mystery man with secrets of his own.

White haired and spectral thin, Julian Assange roams the world incessantly - rarely sleeping in the same place two nights in a row - due to a growing enemies list.

His goal, Assange said in a recent New Yorker magazine profile, is to expose injustice by revealing secrets that could "bring down many administrations that rely on concealing reality - including the U.S. administration."

"WikiLeaks aims to achieve political reforms by getting out information that has been suppressed to the public," he told Voice of America. "As far as we're aware, we've never made a mistake."

Born in an Australian beach town in 1971, Assange was a self-schooled computer hacker who was busted after breaking into a telecom company's master terminal and messaging the administrator, "It's been nice playing with your system."

A successful custody battle with the mother of his only son planted the seed of what would later become WikiLeaks.

Determined to break through the bureaucracy, Assange urged child protection workers to dish to a "central data bank."

wikileaks afghanistan

WikiLeaks put Afghanistan war history in a new light this weekend. The WikiLeaks Afghanistan documents that were published put WikiLeaks at the center of Afghanistan debate. Somehow, the website got 90,000 pages of
classified details on the war, its strategies and battle from 2004 to late 2009. Already, the White House has called it a dangerous leak, although the website is protected from any prosecution or from being shut down. With the WikiLeaks Afghanistan war diary, America's longest war is again under scrutiny.

The extensive collection of documents has already gone down as the biggest government leak of all time, at least in volume. At the least, it may be the most comprehensive leak during wartime since the Pentagon Papers, although its long-term impact is still to be determined.

The WikiLeaks Afghanistan papers allegedly expose Taliban missile tactics, cooperation between militants and agents of Pakistan, coverups of civilian killings, and a group called "Task Force 373" that reports to the Pentagon alone. Task Force 373 is accused of working outside the command structure to take out enemy leaders, although papers like Der Spiegel already suspected it.

Not only did the Afghanistan documents hit the WikiLeaks website, they sent the info to papers like the New York Times and the Guardian. In publishing it themselves, the Guardian defended itself by saying the papers are not "militarily sensitive" anymore. Meanwhile, the Times assured that WikiLeaks already redacted names that might have been in danger.

The main White House defense against the WikiLeaks Afghanistan report is that most of this was done before President Obama's new strategy. The documents stop at around late 2009, a few months before the President instituted his new plans for the war. However, his plans have been altered around a bit by recent reports.

The founder of Wikileaks Julian Assange told journalists that there is "prima-facie evidence" of war crimes in the 90,000 leaked documents from US military field reports in Afghanistan between 2004 and 2009.

Assange said: "I can only speak about this issue in general, however it is up to a court to decide, clearly whether something is in the end a 'crime'.

"That said prima facie, there does appear to be evidence of war crimes in this material.

"The example is the Task Force 373 Himars missile strike on a house which killed seven children."

wikileaks

In the wake of the release of 91,000 classified U.S. military records painting a dour portrait of the war in Afghanistan, the U.S. government and military are trying to put the spotlight squarely on WikiLeaks, the organization that leaked the documents.

Wikileaks, officials complained, is an antiwar group with an agenda. Founder Julian Assange, the White House pointed out to reporters, says things like "the most dangerous men are those who are in charge of war." The noted that his group did not contact the U.S. government to verify what is in the documents. (Though the New York Times and to a lesser extent the other news organizations given access to the documents one month ago did do so.) National Security Advisor Gen. James Jones said the U.S. "strongly condemns the disclosure of classified information by individuals and organizations which could put the lives of Americans and our partners at risk, and threaten our national security."

Wikileaks is certainly an important part of the story - and is without question an organization with an agenda. (Just consider the fact that the group named an explosive video it previously leaked showing the actions of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter in Baghdad "Collateral Murder.") But that fact does not change that the military records appear to be legitimate raw intelligence. While not everything in them is necessarily completely true - the sources include paid informants and Afghan intelligence officials with their own agenda - they do reflect what is being seen and heard by those actually fighting the war.

Assange said Monday morning that the U.S. government has decided to "criticize the messenger to detract from the power of the message." It has good reason to do so. It's a crucial moment for the war in Afghanistan, exactly one year before U.S. troops are supposed to start coming home. Yet instead of a positive portrait of the war effort, the American people are being shown in unprecedented detail just how hobbled coalition efforts been by questionable allies, conflicting allegiances, and a pervasive culture of corruption and violence.

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks.org, speaks to reporters, July 26, 2010.
(Credit: CBS)

The Afghan police are described beating and harassing civilians; according to one report, when his bodyguard refuses to shoot a civilian, a police chief shoots the bodyguard instead. An orphanage that opened with great fanfare is shown to be empty, the coalition's money embezzled; the police and Army are described feuding with each other, and insurgents are shown attacking U.S. troops using vehicles supplied by the coalition to fight them.

The documents describe the Taliban's efforts to turn U.S. allies into enemies with bribes and threats and the killing of civilians through mistakes and misunderstanding (a deaf person who flees a convoy out of nervousness can't hear warnings and gets shot; five children get killed in a rocket attack that was part of a botched raid against an enemy who isn't present). Also revealed is the wider-than-known use of drones inside Afghanistan and the Taliban's use of heat-seeking missiles against U.S. aircraft, the very type of weapon that the United Sates supplied to the mujahedeen to defeat the Soviets in the 1980s. (CBS News' Lara Logan reported on the latter last year.)

And then there are the suggestions that Pakistani intelligence is helping coordinate attacks on U.S. troops, including suicide bombings - a particularly incendiary accusation in light of the billions of dollars in aid that flow to the country from U.S. coffers. (These reports, it's important to remember, reflect what members of the military are being told by parties with a variety of agendas, who may not be truthful; Pakistan has vehemently denied the allegations.)

The government has been quick to note that these documents only go through December 2009, before President Obama's new strategy was put in place. But the reality today could in fact be worse than it was then; casualties are the highest they've been in nearly nine years of war, the Taliban is stronger than ever, and coalition efforts to create self-sustaining governments are still understaffed and ineffective.

Officials have insisted that most of the information in the documents is old news for those who have been watching the war closely. But while that, to some extent, is true, it doesn't much matter: The documents shift discussion to the harsh realities of the war at a time that military and administration officials had once hoped Americans would be celebrating U.S. momentum against the Taliban.

Public and Congressional support for the nearly nine-year-old war was already wavering before the release, and for some the documents could be the last straw. The Obama administration will likely remain resolute, stick to its carefully-crafted strategy, and remind people that pulling out could mean a return to the environment that set the stage for the Sept. 11th attacks. But cracks are already beginning to show: Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said after the release that "however illegally these documents came to light, they raise serious questions about the reality of America's policy toward Pakistan and Afghanistan."

The White House gave itself some flexibility when it announced that it would begin bringing troops home in July of next year - President Obama was notably vague about how many troops will be leaving and insisted that plans could change based on conditions on the ground. The WikiLeaks documents are a demoralizing reminder that those conditions are not good; the question now is how the administration and Congress will respond to what will likely be further erosion of support for the war effort at home and abroad.

julian assange

In early June, an exceptionally well-timed New Yorker piece profiled Julian Assange, the enigmatic and nomadic 39-year-old mastermind of Wikileaks, whose coordinated release of 92,000 classified documents to three newspapers has re-energized debate over the direction of the U.S.-led military effort in Afghanistan. The Australian Assange, a prodigal computer hacker, was once known by the nom-de-plume “Mendax.” In the late 80s, Mendax was the founding member of a group of hackers who called themselves the International Subversives. His activities with the International Subversives eventually attracted the attention of law enforcement authorities, and Assange was arrested in the early 90s after hacking into the computer system at a major Canadian telecommunications company. A court eventually ruled that his intentions were benign, and he avoided a prison sentence of up to ten years. After working toward a physics degrees at the University of Melbourne, he founded Wikileaks in 2006. “Our primary targets are those highly oppressive regimes in China, Russia and Central Eurasia, but we also expect to be of assistance to those in the West who wish to reveal illegal or immoral behavior in their own governments and corporations,” he wrote in a note to potential whistleblowers at the time of the site’s launch.

In response to the most recent document blitz, the White House issued a statement to journalists and news organizations in which it reminded them of Wikileaks’ activist agenda. “As you report on this issue, it’s worth noting that wikileaks is not an objective news outlet but rather an organization that opposes US policy in Afghanistan,” a memo cautioned. Assange is the first to corroborate this characterization. “Assange, despite his claims to scientific journalism, emphasized to me that his mission is to expose injustice, not to provide an even-handed record of events,” The New Yorker’s Raffi Khatchadourian wrote. In an interview with Der Spiegel, Assange said that his goal in releasing the Afghan war logs was to call attention to “the everyday brutality and squalor of war. The archive will change public opinion and it will change the opinion of people in positions of political and diplomatic influence.” In a press conference in London this morning, a cagey Assange stood in front of his Macbook and responded to questions about his intentions and concerns. “I’m often asked this: what is the most single damning revelation?” he said. “But that is not the real story with this material. The real story with this material is that it’s war. It’s one damn thing after another.” It’s a sentiment that’s likely echoed by President Obama, although perhaps with varied connotations.

Analyst forum

Hard to believe it’s been just over one year already that I launched my first internet radio show, Conservative Republican Forum on BlogTalkRadio. It seems like yesterday I invited my friend and co-host Daria DiGiovanni, author of Water Signs: A Story of Love and Renewal to join me in this excellent adventure.

As I reflected on the experience, I first took note of the fun we’ve had interviewing candidates for public office – mostly for the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate – giving our audience the opportunity to get to know them and their positions on the issues. We continue to offer many grassroots candidates who might otherwise be ignored by the media, a forum from which to reach out and connect with potential voters and contributors.

Then I began to reminisce about the many notable people we’ve had the honor and pleasure to interview and – in some cases – meet in person. Our first big name guest was Florida U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio, who we interview for the first time in June of 2009 – long before most pundits even considered him a contender for the seat. At last January’s Freedom Forum in Miami, site of our first and only on-location broadcast, we interviewed Rubio for the second time.

Two weeks later, we had the opportunity to interview author, columnist and regular ‘Red Eye’ guest, S.E. Cupp. At the time, she was busy promoting her book Why You’re Wrong About the Right. And that was when our show really started to develop a following.

Since then, we’ve spoken with such well known personalities as Michigan Congressman Thaddeus McCotter; former CIA operative Mike Baker (who has become a true friend of the show); Kellen Giuda – a founding member of the NYC Tea Party and co-founder of Parcbench.com; comedienne Ellen Karis (who has become a personal friend); wildly popular congressional candidate Lt. Col. Allen West; Greg Gutfeld, Andy Levy and Bill Schulz of Fox News Channel’s hit show Red Eye; author and Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin; former Fox News Senior Military Analyst Major General Paul E. Vallely (U.S. Army retired); current Fox News Military Analyst Lt. General Thomas McInerney (U.S.A.F. retired); Michigan Congresswoman Michele Bachmann; and Iowa Congressman Steve King.

The fact that all of these influential Americans took time out of their busy schedules to talk with us and our audience is a testimony their generosity and character. I’ve had the distinct pleasure of meeting some of them in person and each was just as nice face-to-face as on the air. In particular, General Vallely, S.E. Cupp and Ellen Karis spent a great deal of time with my friends and me when we had the opportunity to hang out with them.

In 2010 we initiated our “Grassroots Candidates Series”, expanding our format from one-hour to an hour-and-a-half. This series has allowed us to feature several congressional and senatorial candidates – from Hawaii to Massachusetts – in what we consider to be a public service to the nation in this crucial mid-term election year.

When we started the show, I never could have expected that so many high-profile people would willingly agree to appear on our little Internet radio show; I certainly never dreamed I’d have the opportunity to not only spend time with any of them off the air, but to actually call them friends.

I also want to thank my friend and co-host Daria for taking time out of her life each week to ride shotgun with me on the air. Her support and encouragement have made the show enjoyable, and to be perfectly frank, she’s also saved my bacon from time-to-time, particularly when we’ve experienced the always-unavoidable technical difficulties or had a missing-in-action guest who failed to call-in.

Looking back on this first-year anniversary, both Daria and I sincerely hope our guests have enjoyed being on the show as much as we’ve enjoyed hosting them. As for our audience, we cannot thank them enough for tuning in each week, and we hope they continually find something of value. With their continued support, it is our fondest wish to remain on the air for a long time to come.

As NFL training camps kick off across the country plenty of guys will looking forward to breaking out the lunch pail, shaking off the rust, and getting back to work.

As they pull up to the facilty that first day, they may notice something a little odd outside. A tall, athletic looking man, holding a sign that reads, "Will work for a opportunity of shameless self-promotion" and as they pass by he will flip the sign over allowing them to see the back which reads, "Come on! Jesus loves me and you will too!"

This man of course is the unemployed 36-year-old wide receiver Terrell Owens . As teams begin to scramble around, trying to fill in their roster spots, Terrell wants to make sure they all know he's ready to give up washing windshields at that stop light downtown and wants to go to work.

Over the weekend the speculation was that T.O.
s most likely landing spot was in St. Louis, along side rookie quarterback Sam Bradford, but is that really a good idea? Is it really a good idea to ask a first year guy to take on the task of pacifying the most high maintenance player in the past decade?

I have the feeling this is would play out like the guy whose first girl friend came at the age of 20 and who instantly became said girl's whipping boy for the duration of the relationship. You've seen that guy. Suddenly he's spending every weekend at the mall carrying shopping bags, trading in all his xbox games for cash so he can buy a $50 pair of jeans his girl recommended, and he is forever taking care of some extremely ugly, yet equally expensive small animal. (which is always sick for some reason.) That guy either ends up snapping or just ends up quietly miserable and living an awful life. Either way he's messed up.

Yeah, if Tony, Donovan, and Jeff couldn't maintain this relationship, if those guys couldn't balance the drama queen, I'm finding it hard to believe Bradford will have much success with it. Granted this could be the baptism by fire that a young guy needs, but it seems more likely it could be a disaster taking him years to recover from.

Typically when you see that little voice mail light blinking on your phone, its a pretty exciting moment. I mean, sure it could just be your grandma, but it could also be something absolutely awesome, so you cant wait to check it.

Now that was probably what Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher was thinking when he say he had a missed called and new voice mail over the weekend. Unfortunately things didn't pan out that way for Jeff.

The message he received was from USC head coach Lane Kiffin and went something like this, "Hey Jeff, It's Lane. How's it going? Been getting out on the lake much? Well hate that I missed you, hope your summer goes well, oh and by the way I just stole your running backs coach and made him my new offensive coordinator. Later." and click.

That was the way Lane decided to break the news to Jeff that he just hired Kennedy Pola away from the Titan's staff. I'm not sure if Lane is a jerk or just stupid, but is that really the type of thing you want left on the machine? I mean was calling back later, or even asking Jeff to call him not an option?

Or was this one of those situations where you feel really relieved to just get the machine because you know the person is going to be pissed. Is this like breaking up with a girl via text message because you know shes going to go psycho on you, which is why you were breaking up with her in the first place so she just proved you correct. (why do girls never understand this. you can't argue that you are not crazy, it just makes you seem more crazy.)

No matter the reason, Jeff wasn't happy with the way things went down and it's doubtful this will help Lane at all with his already less than stellar reputation.

Every freshman in high school knows there is a hazing process. Every freshman knows he will most likely be told to dump some lunch trays, do some push ups, or if worst comes to worst, make of fool of himself by asking the hottest girl out in school in a song. It happens, you do it, and you get over it. The only time it generally gets really bad, is when some freshman decides to fight it. That's where the stories of duct tape and icy hot are born and that's when things go from forgettable to legends that live on decades later.

"Do you remember when that one guy put icy hot in that one kids jock strap?" Yeah, you know those stories.

Dez Bryant may have just secured his spot as the victim in one of those legendary tales as yesterday he refused to carry Roy Williams pads following practice. Ot-uh. You might has well of just put a target on your back buddy.

Now I'm not saying there is any rule that Dez had to carry those pads, but I am saying if he just carries those pads, it's over, done with, and he can go about his day. Now there's a good chance he's going to wake up one morning during camp, taped to his bed, which will dangling from the trees outside the dorm. I just hope it isn't parents' day.

Is it possible to get suspended for just being awful? Yes!

IRL driver Milka Duno has been banned from racing for a year until her driving improves. Twice this season she has been pulled off the track because she was going to slow the officials felt like she was a hazard.

Now why would a team keep dropping the coin on a driver going that slow, aside from fans being about to read the teams logo and sponsors very clearly as she creeped by? It's pretty simple, she's a lady.

Racing at all levels seems to be determined to fine that first competitive female driver, even if it means putting unqualified drivers in cars. Lets be honest, if a female does finally take off the marketing potential for that driver and team will be limitless. Heck, Danica Patrick makes bank and finishes on average, what, 30th?

Hats off to IRL for choosing safety over marketing schemes and Go Daddy commercials.

Flying car

Several times over the years -- mainly here and here -- I've argued that the clinching evidence that America is great is the long-sought development of a flying car. And it's not just me! Lane Wallace and Conor Friedersdorf have also noticed on our site this good omen for the future.

Now the FAA has gotten into the act, waiving a weight-rule requirement to approve the Terrafugia Transition as a "Light Sport Aircraft." I think the "mood of America" polls will turn around shortly.

Eclipse reviews

The new Twilight Eclipse movie is out! Fans all over the world are raving about the Edward vs Jacob rivalry. These fans say the Eclipse movie was awesome, funny, adventurous and fun.

Critics on the other hand are not as easily entertained.

The Eclipse review from critics isn’t as forgiving. Many Eclipse movie reviews were very negative because of the pointless lines and cheesy plot. The action scene was apparently too short and the overall Eclipse movie length was supposedly too short as well.

It seems as if we’re hearing a complete opposite Eclipse review from each side of the fence. The fans Eclipse movie review is very positive while the critics have a negative Eclipse review.

Acadia national park

After 33 days of reader voting and the elimination of 30 other coast-to-coast cities and national parks, the final two vacation spots in USA Today’s Best American Destinations contest are finally face-to-face:

Honolulu, Hawaii vs. Yellowstone National Park

There’s just two more days to vote for the ultimate winner. You could win a $2,000 airfare credit prize from Orbitz.com just for voting.

But if you'd kindly allow us one final pitch before you vote ...

The staff of HAWAII Magazine has always believed that our Islands are the best destination in America, if not the world. We’d like to think our readers feel the same way, too. So it should come as no surprise that your vote for our hometown of Honolulu, Hawaii, as "Best American Destination" would make us very happy indeed.

Honolulu_Hawaii_Best_American_Destinations_contestHonolulu has come a long way in the USA Today-sponsored contest. The competition launched on May 28 with 32 destinations from all over the country in the running—from Honolulu to New York City; from Denali National Park, Alaska, to Everglades National Park, Florida. Over five weeks of bracket voting (Chicago vs. San Francisco, Grand Canyon National Park vs. Yellowstone, etc.), readers were allowed only one vote per week for their favorites. Each week’s bracket-winning destination advanced to next-round voting.

The competition was impressive and tough for both finalists, to say the least. Honolulu took out some of the country’s finest cities on its journey to the final round: Miami, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Washington D.C. Yellowstone National Park beat Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Acadia National Park, Grand Canyon and Charleston, S.C. on its way to the finals.

Christian Cunningham would have been 3 in December, according to friends of the family. Randall Cunningham, pastor of Remnant Ministries who played for the Eagles, Vikings, Ravens and Cowboys, performs baptisms in the hot tub at his home, which is near the church.

She removed the boy from the hot tub and began performing CPR. Paramedics took the child to St. Rose Dominican Hospital, Siena campus, where he died, Flynn said.

Abuse and neglect detectives were investigating the incident, according to the Review-Journal. Flynn said the drowning appeared to be an accident.

Cunningham was believed to be in San Diego or on his way back at the time of the drowning.

The head of the Press Office of the Ministry of Defence in Azerbaijan, Eldar Sabiroglu exchanges of fire between units of the armed forces of Azerbaijan and Armenia had already occurred.

"The shooting continued for a long time, Armenians suffered losses and withdrew."

According to him, these skirmishes are not uncommon in recent times, but it is interesting that this is the first time the Armenian side admits defeat.

"Normally, and Armenians, trying to hide the reality of their losses, and I think that we should not look for reasons. Anger and discontent of the Armenian people against the military authorities and the leadership of concern to them," he said.

According to Sabiroglu, the Armenian side with minimal losses and losses from the Armenian side is much more than that.

"In order to stay away from the principles of Madrid, Armenia violates the cease-fire, and therefore they themselves lured into a trap, and should be seen as yet another provocation," he said.

He said that if Sabiroglu Armenia will not withdraw from the occupied territories, and if there would be such provocations, and can get more strikes, he says.
