Trillian for Mac arrives as an alpha
by Seth Rosenblatt Font size Print E-mail Share 11 comments Yahoo! BuzzShare Multi-protocol chat client Trillian follows up its resurgence last year with a long-rumored Mac version. Trillian for Mac is an unstable alpha, lacking many of the features that make Trillian Astra appealing on Windows, but even so it offers users a good idea of what's to come from Cerulean Studios.

The first public alpha of Trillian for Mac is sparse but functional.

This build isn't really ready yet to compete with the popular Adium, but cross-platform users will appreciate that the contact sync works. Enter in your Trillian username and password and all of your other instant messaging accounts will be imported, including passwords. Basic IM functions are fine, with support for Trillian's proprietary protocol Astra, as well as Windows Live, Yahoo, Facebook Chat, AIM, ICQ, XMPP, Google Talk, Bonjour, and MySpaceIM. File transfers work, as do most Mac hot keys, iTunes tracking, thought bubbles above avatars during chats, and drag-and-drop.

There's much that's missing, though, so don't expect to jump to Trillian right now. Social network feeds don't work yet, nor do group conversations or e-mail support. Growl support is also missing, and while you can see your friends' avatars, personal avatars aren't working yet. The Preferences window is skeletal, too. The full list of what should work and what doesn't is here.

Cerulean Studios also offers an iPhone version, and Trillian for Mac will sync contacts and other changes with its iPhone sibling. Tell us your thoughts on Trillian for Mac in the comments below.

Trillian jumped the shark a long time ago. No way are they gonna be able to compete with Adium on the Mac.

What's the purpose of this if we have an adium that sort of works...well okay the video doesn't work and the facebook chat is kludgy at best. But I've used trillium on pc's and it seems the dang thing eats up the entire desktop, i just want the thing hovering in a corner like i can do with adium.

Adium is all I use on my mac, considering how awfully slow, loud, stupid and annoying iChat is. I used Trillian on my Windows boot and it doesn't even come close to Adium. Good luck to the guys at Cerulean Studios, but I seriously don't see Trillian making any headway against Adium.

The problem with Trillian is that they aren't free. Even if they can grab a fraction of the users from Adium, which I don't think will ever happen, no one is going to pay for it.

For some reason I have just never gotten around to using Trillian, perhaps because I didn't feel like dragging out my windows machine just to try another IM agent but now that Mac is on the way I might have to give them a try.

'Avatar,' 'Star Trek,' 'District 9' get visual-effects Oscar nods
by Daniel Terdiman Font size Print E-mail Share 13 comments Yahoo! BuzzShare
On Tuesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the 2010 Oscar nominations. Among them were three nominations for visual effects and five for best animated feature.

In case you weren't paying attention, 2009 was a banner year for big, big visual effects movies.

And the teams that crafted the most impressive work were honored Tuesday morning, along with all the best and brightest in filmmaking, when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for the 2010 Oscars.

Here at CNET News we have a special place in our heart, as you might expect, for visual-effects-heavy movies because of the fantastic amounts of technology and computing power that goes into them.

Oscar's VFX and animation nominees (images)

As usual, the Academy chose just three films as visual-effects nominees. That number seems smaller this year, given that it's the first time that 10 movies were singled out as the potential best film of the year.

Still, to those who follow visual effects, there's probably little shock this morning in the fact that the three nominated films were: "Avatar," James Cameron's record-breaking anti-colonialism epic; "Star Trek," the latest, and some would say the best, in the long history of movies of the Gene Roddenberry franchise; and "District 9," from director Neill Blomkamp.

Perhaps the only real surprise was that "2012," Roland Emmerich's fantasy about an apocalypse long foreseen on the Mayan calendar, wasn't nominated. But in a year with several very strong candidates, it was clear that not every one of them would earn a nomination.

Also gracing the nominations was a CNET favorite, Pixar's "Up," for best animated feature. That film, Pixar's 10th straight big hit, was joined by several other strong contenders: "Coraline," Wes Anderson's "Fantastic Mr. Fox," "The Princess and the Frog," and "The Secret of Kells."

From this corner, "Avatar" looks to be as big of a sure thing to win the visual-effects Oscar as I can remember. It's not that the work ILM did on "Star Trek" or that Image Engine did on "District 9" wasn't great. It's more that "Avatar" has taken the world by storm, breaking the all-time box office record--previously held, of course, by Cameron's own "Titanic"--and pretty much blowing everyone away with the creation of the fantastical moon of Pandora. I will be completely surprised if "Avatar" doesn't walk away with the Oscar on March 7.

As I've written previously, if "Avatar" wins the Oscar, it could be the big public coming out party for Weta Digital, director Peter Jackson's visual-effects studio. Within the industry, to be quite sure, Weta is well-known for its work on Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and on his "King Kong," but my argument is that the company is not well-known by the public for its projects, which have already earned it four Oscars.

Either way, with nine nominations, including for best picture, best director, art direction, and cinematography, March 7 looks to be a big night for Cameron and the countless people who made "Avatar." After all, while 2009 was a pretty good year for movies, Hollywood loves a smash, especially one that makes people look at things in an entirely new way. And for that, visual effects may well be the true star of Oscar night 2010.

So...where is the line between "special effects" and "animation"? Avatar seems to have blurred that in a big way.
Like this Reply to this comment by bookshire February 2, 2010 11:55 AM PST
Blurred yes, but I would say any film where actual human actors are on screen and acting for a certain percentage of time, and if what they're doing contributes significantly to the plot, then it can't be called an animated film. The blurr come in what minimum percentage of the film they should be on screen.

I can't believe they nominated Inglorious Basterds. That movie was the worst thing I saw last year and that includes 'Hostel,' too. Tarantino owes me a refund for that over self-indulgent pile of crap he calls a movie.

THere was nothing classic about it. It was just the director over indulging himself in some stupid anti nazi fantasy. The bar scene nearly put me to sleep. I kept waiting and waiting for someone to get shot--all the while secretly hoping it would be the director. Also, the subtitles were a terrible distraction because the viewer is too busy reading that and missing any subtle acting by the actors. Terrible movie. A friend of mine and I were tempted to walk out half way through. Brad Pitt should win a Razzie for his performance, too.

I do not know if you care to be completely accurate, but 2009 is not the first year that the Academy has nominated 10 movies for Best Picture of the Year. They also did this in the 1930s and 1940s. But it has been a very long time.

2012 was terrible. I don't care how good your special effects were, if you can't put it in a good story it doesn't deserve any kind of award. Too many films these days fail on the acting, direction, the story, and many other things but because they have amazing special effects and giant marketing engines, they're supposed to win awards. The only reason why this isn't always true is because the ones who do the special effects often have nothing to do with the rest of the story and deserve to have their work recognized.

Nigerian government recruits 1,767 prayer warriors to pray their president

February 3, 2010 by Victor Ulasi · Leave a Comment

By: Victor Ulasi, Nigeria

It has almost almost 3 months since the President of Nigeria left the country for medical treatment; some have begun to think it is something to do with the spiritual forces as the Zamfara State Government of Nigeria has recruited 1,767 Islamic clerics to pray for the quick recovery of President Umaru Yar'Adua.

Nigerians often concludes issues with religion as the people of Zamfara state states that the only way out of the Nigerian President's health condition is prayers and whatever maybe the health condition of the President has gone beyond Science and Medicine and they will fight it spiritually as well.

In order to fight the demons behind Nigerian President's health condition, World News Vine findings proofed that Zamfara State Government, will spend about 17.6 million Naira equivalent to 117,334 USD on the prayers as each of the cleric will go home with N10,000 equivalent to 67 USD for the service rendered within 15 minutes. The prayers are being held on the 481- week Friday preaching at Juma'at mosques in Gusau city of Zamfara state, Nigeria.

The Representative of the Governor, the state Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Sheik Tukur Sani Jangebe, remarked that the prayer session was necessary in view of the present situation the country was passing through.

According to him, the health of the president was very important for the survival of the country and, as such, he needed the prayers of Nigerians instead of playing politics with his health.

However, critics said for how long the Nigerian Government will continue to waste the Federal funds in the name of God, stating how God can answer a paid prayer for political propaganda, "God will punish those who mock Him in the name of Religion for political fame."

Pope Benedict slams entire UK gay community

February 3, 2010 by henryhunter · 2 Comments
[Translate]

The Pope has announced that he will be visiting the UK during his world tour, according to the official statement issued by the Vatican. His visit will cost the tax payer a reported £20 million… Which, if you live in the UK, you will be part of paying regardless of what you think about religion. Following this announcement, Ze Pope felt it prudent to express his disgust and displeasure at Harriet Harman's proposed Equality Bill, a bill which would introduce stronger equality legislation for gay men and women.

A letter containing a series of disgusting and embarrassing comments from the Pope to British Catholic Bishops has been made public, and among the many opinions the Pope expressed about the UK, this one stood out… "In some respects it actually violates the natural law upon which the equality of all human beings is grounded and by which it is guaranteed."

Now, there are many faults to be found in the letter, and this quote in particular… I guess the first should always be the most obvious as that always seems to get the ball rolling. If at any point during the 1930/40s you were a member of the Nazi Party, you have absolutely no right to talk about equality or natural laws. I realise that Pope Benedict would have you believe that he was an unwilling member of the Hitler Youth, which may or may not be the case, but you can bet your bottom dollar that he wasn't denouncing his membership at the time (he was with the Hitler Youth from 41 to 45)… He was a member of a group who are the embodiment of evil and bigotry, now he leads a group of people who look to him for spiritual and moral guidance, and while there is no final solution set forth yet, he is pushing the same bigotry and intolerance that the Nazi party did. It is also important that we keep in mind that the Catholic Church has long been accused of protecting child molesting priests who are given the freedom and resources to continue with their sickening acts of rape and sodomy against innocent, young members of the church.

Veteran gay rights activist Peter Tatchell of the group Outrage! feels that the Popes position that gay people shouldn't be allowed the same rights and freedoms as straight people… Or, more to the point, Catholics suggests that he genuinely believes that his church is above the law.

That hand gesture could send the wrong message Pope... It's not the 40s now.

If this disturbing tale proves anything, it is that the Church, the religion and indeed the Pope himself need to be dragged into the modern world… Kicking and screaming if needs be. The Pope should be reminded that intolerance and bigotry can't be preached alongside Jesus and the Bible, a book which clearly states "love your enemy" and "love all men"… Make of that last one what you wish. Adding exemptions to a book of rules that has been shaping morality and society since it was first published in 1380 is completely redundant, it doesn't say "love all men… Unless they're gay". This is an example of the worst kind of hypocrisy. The Catholics are not the first people to interpret a holy text to fit their own agenda, and they won't be the last but the more Pope Benedict blasts human beings for something that is entirely personal, as personal as which God (if any) that you follow, the more the younger, more tolerant generations will distance themselves from the church. The Pope doesn't have sex, so why should he have such an opinion on other peoples sexual orientation? In any argument one thing is true, and constant throughout… Without first hand knowledge, you can't have an opinion… That is just the way it is.

Asking the British public to foot the bill to bring the Pope here is unfair. Unfair to "non-believers", gay people and whoever else the Pope deems evil. If the British Catholic Church wishes to extend an invite to a man who would publicly denounce an entire group of people based on his own blatant self loathing, then I think it is only fair that they cover the cost…

Pretty tough talk from a religious leader that harbors/protects homosexual pedophiles if you ask me.. My best guess is that this guy is really a republican in a fancy dress

HH- Congratulations on both a funny and factual title. Weird mental pictures now! What is funny is that the pope protects his own that commit homosexual acts…but only on boys under 16! Hmmmmmm! What it is that I dont understand is that homosexuality has been around since the beginning of time, women were for breading and men for having fun…why is it not excepted as normal yet?! In fact this article has inspired me to begin my bi-sexual adventure, because hell if the pope says its wrong then I am all for it, just like I am all for contraception! Brillantly informative and humerous as always Henry! Bringing religion and politics to the masses! Bravo!

o Clarification regarding the Unemployment Tiers | Senate Must Act Now!

2 Feb 2010

There is an extreme amount of confusion and worry regarding the unemployment compensation benefits both, regular and emergency extensions. The main point of confusion is due to the wishy-washy behavior regarding pending legislation in part, if not in whole, via Republican Party's firm stance of seeing both this administration and economy fail.

Moscow, Russia (CNN) -- Russia signed a deal with Libya to provide nearly $2 billion in arms to the North African nation, Russian state media reported Saturday.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced the contract with Libya on Saturday, news agency RIA Novosti reported.

The agency did not have specifics of the 1.3 billion euro ($1.8 billion) deal inked Friday, but reported that Putin said it was "not only for small arms and light weapons."

Rosoboronexport, Russia's government-run arms export agency, previously said it had five military contracts with Libya that included "military equipment for its ground forces and the navy, the modernization of T-72 tanks and spare parts supplies," RIA Novosti reported.

World Peace:

Our expressions of love and compassion create a world at peace. With every loving thought we hold, every kind word we express, we contribute to a world at peace. Each of us has the power to love and the ability to be patient and forgiving, no matter what is happening. Even in the appearance of turmoil and trouble, we can affirm: Peace, be still.

We can still troubled waters with the power of our love. As we go about our day, we express compassion wherever possible.

As we pray, we see the divine good in our loved ones and we inspire others. Centered in the divine nature of our being and the oneness that we are, we are powerful. Our smallest acts combine with the actions of others to create a world at peace, a world that works for all.

I'm not buying it SamRam! Those are just words. Most of the world lives in war, abject poverty, or some for of degrading servitude. Our war in Iraq has caused suffering few in American can possibly imagine, and as we dress our kids in shirts with peace symbols, and go to church today and listen to messages of hope, close to none of use will devote even second of empathy or concern to the unimaginable horror that is Iraq. We will delude ourselves with thoughts that it was somehow a necessary part of some obscure war on terror, and go on happily ignoring reality thanks to the images that American newspapers do not print and American TV does not show. The world, for hundreds of millions of people, is a cold, dark, disease filled place of pain and horror. If you really want to fix it America needs to give money for foreign aid like other nations do. In terms of amount given per capita, or as a percentage of GNI we are near the bottom of the industrialized world. Yet, the impression the news media gives here is that we are at the top and other nations do very little. less

Guest You are all missing the real story here. The real story is the Russian/Libya alliance predicted in the Bible in Ezekiel 38-39. War is coming to Israel through the hands of Russia,Libya and many other countries soon just as God told us it would.

Nothing unusual here, rogue regimes are Russia, France and Germany's preferred export markets because they don't have to compete with Anglo companies there and their systematic opposition to the US gives them preferred partner status among the bad guys.

There is, however, something profoundly unfair in that all three countries are also allowed to compete for deals in Iraq despite siding with Saddam against the coalition. The US should force them to choose a side and accept the consequences. Either deal with rogue regimes and back out of regions where you fought against human rights or abstain from dealing with enemies of democracy. less

Before one blindly sounds off, maybe one should look up some information on the T-72 tank. it was produced in 1971 (39 years ago), and the exported version doesn't even offer the lead shield against neutron radiation. It was already behind the curve when it was manufactured.

In the 1982 Lebanon war, The Israeli military handily defeated the T-72 with the first generation Merkava (they're on the 4th generation now). It is true that the main gun is much more destructive than most modern tanks, but the T-72 lacks the maneuverability and evasion capabilities of most tanks produced since the late 1970s.

It is no secret that Russia would like to diminish the US' international status, as do China, Iran, Venezuela and a number of others, and supplying military equipment is just way of doing that. The bottom line, though, is that Russian equipment is cheaper and less complicated, thus it can be purchased in larger quantities and maintained by a semi-skilled workforce. American equipment is generally more complicated and expensive, and its use is severely limited by Foreign Military Sales legislation. For the most part, for the average nation, buying Russian is easier and better value for money...more bang for the buck. less

Latin America's mobile phone market shrunk in the fourth quarter, though the performance marked an improvement from the double-digit declines posted in previous quarters, consultancy IDC said in a statement.

"Stronger Brazilian currency pushed prices for mobile phone imports lower, spurring greater demand. In Argentina, channel partners purchased additional products ahead of a new tax rate that came into effect in December," IDC said.

"Finally, the popularity of pre-paid service options across the regions included more converged mobile devices, stoking greater demand from vendors."

According to IDC's worldwide mobile phone tracker, globally the mobile phone market grew 11.3% in 4Q09, ending five quarters of entrenchment.

In 2009, vendors shipped a total of 1.13bn units, down 5.2% from the 1.19bn units shipped in 2008.

According to IDC senior analyst Kevin Restivo, the Asia Pacific region and the US were primarily responsible for stimulating the growth in Q4.

One area of the market that has consistently shown growth all year is the converged mobile device market, which grew some 30% and will continue to grow in 2010 as selection increases and prices come down, according to IDC senior research analyst Ramon Llamas.

"Consumer tastes for mobile phones have increasingly shifted from simple voice telephony to greater data usage, and both handset vendors and carriers have been eager to meet demand despite ongoing economic challenges," he said.

Nokia (NYSE: NOK) saw its global market share slip in 2009 to 38.4% from 39.4%, Samsung's share rose to 20.1% from 16.5% and LG's rose to 10.5% from 8.5%.

The losers were Sony Ericsson whose market share fell to 5.1% from 8.1% and Motorola (NYSE: MOT) whose share fell to 4.9% from 8.4%.

Restivo told BNamericas that Samsung and LG have been successful in introducing more multimedia functions, which are normally associated with more high-end smartphones, to lower cost phones.

"What carriers like about them is the data attach rate, and data is the next frontier. Voice Arpu is on the way down and carriers and manufacturers alike are seeking to sell more data plans and more data oriented phones... to a consumer without the cost of a smartphone," Restivo said.

"I think that Samsung and LG are doing a good job of selling a lot of the smartphone functions in the traditional phone package," he added.

With respect to smartphones, IDC said a few weeks ago the region is expected to ship 11mn smartphones in 2010, a significant recovery from 7mn in 2009 and 9mn in 2008.

Intelligence service links 350 guns to crimes
Guns
The organisation believes there are fewer guns on the streets

A firearms database has linked more than 350 guns with crimes in its first year of operation in England and Wales.

The National Ballistics Intelligence Service (Nabis) works by combining advanced forensic technology and police intelligence information.

It has played a key role in prosecuting "armourers", including Paul Alexander, who was jailed indefinitely last year.

Nabis says guns are becoming difficult to obtain - meaning rival gangs must sometimes use the same weapons.

The service, which was jointly established by the Home Office and the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) in November 2008, helps forces to solve crimes in which guns have been used, identify the individuals who import and supply them illegally, and track down people who are illegally converting or adapting them.

A distinctive fingerprint is left on the bullet every time a weapon is fired. Combining those marks with police investigations on a giant database reveals patterns of use across the country.

In most cases guns are tied to a particular area, but in some the same weapon has been linked with separate shootings hundreds of miles apart. Guns which have apparently lain dormant for more than a decade can reappear.

Gun myth

Det Ch Supt Paul James, Nabis programme manager, said capturing key suppliers meant there were fewer guns on the streets. He added it was wrong to suggest guns could be bought cheaply and easily.

"It's a myth that you can go into a pub and pick up a gun for £50," he said.

There are three Nabis centres in England and Wales and a fourth is due to open in Glasgow later this year.

Its scientists are also called on to carry out fast-track DNA and fingerprinting analysis for the most serious murder and terrorism cases.

This pioneering ballistics work has helped to bring ruthless criminals to justice and clamp down on the minority of people who use guns illegally
David Hanson
Police minister

Police minister David Hanson said: "Thankfully gun crime is rare and continues to decline. However, when it occurs it ruins lives and devastates communities - and that is why we are committed to getting weapons off our streets.

"Through state-of-the-art intelligence Nabis has been instrumental in enabling the police to truly understand the extent and nature of gun crime in ways not previously possible.

"This pioneering ballistics work has helped to bring ruthless criminals to justice and clamp down on the minority of people who use guns illegally."

Nabis also says difficulty in getting weapons meant rival criminal gangs are having to use the same weapons, which they hire from a common source.

Det Ch Supt James said: "We see the same guns being used over and over again.

"Scarcity is such that they are exploiting that weapon, to lease and rent those firearms out.

"The same gun can be used by people on both sides of the equation. One gun on an estate can be used by people you would not expect to be allies."

JAL bankruptcy proposed as option

TOKYO (Reuters) - Shares of Japan Airlines Corp fell as much as 11 percent to renew a record low on Tuesday as investor worries mount the carrier will be restructured in bankruptcy court as part of a state bailout.

Hot Stocks | Japan

The stock slide was prompted by media reports that a state-backed turnaround fund now weighing whether to support JAL with loans and investments was considering a bankruptcy filing as one component of its restructuring plan.

Sources told Reuters on Monday the Enterprise Turnaround Initiative Corp of Japan has told creditors it may look to have JAL use Japan's Corporate Rehabilitation Law, a process similar to Chapter 11 that could wipe out the value of JAL's shares.

The ETIC has not ruled out an out-of-court restructuring in coordination with JAL's main creditors, the sources said.

No one at JAL could be immediately reached for comment.

"There's a lot of concern about what might happen if JAL does end up going through bankruptcy court, what will happen to shareholders if the stock basically becomes worthless," said Nagayuki Yamagishi, a strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities.

Shares of JAL were down 9 yen at 87 yen in mid-afternoon in Tokyo, after renewing a record low of 85 yen marked in late November. The stock has lost nearly 60 percent of its value this year.

The chances of bankruptcy appeared to increase last week when Finance Minister Hirohisa Fujii said the state would not back any more loans to JAL. Banks are wary of extending fresh loans to JAL unless the state insures them against losses.

A bankruptcy could complicate talks with American Airlines and Delta Air Lines, which are courting JAL with rival offers of investment to gain access to its network in Asia and closer ties on U.S.-Japan routes.

JAL, choking on 1.5 trillion yen ($16 billion) in debt and crippling pension costs, applied for assistance from the ETIC in late October. The ETIC is expected to decided whether JAL is worthy of public funds in January.

Fourth House Dem in past month announces retirement
Posted: December 14th, 2009 11:56 AM ET

From CNN's Deirdre Walsh and Paul Steinhauser

Washington (CNN) - Rep. Bart Gordon of Tennessee announced Monday that he will not run for re-election next year, the fourth House Democrat in the past four weeks to retire rather than than defend their seat in next year's midterm elections.

The 13-term Democrat has held the seat in Tennessee's 6th congressional district since 1985, winning nearly three-quarters of the vote in his re-election bid last year.

But the district, located in the north-central portion of the state, went for John McCain in last year's presidential election by 25 points. George W. Bush won the district by 20 points in 2004.

"I feel honored that the people of Middle Tennessee have allowed me to serve them for the past 25 years," Gordon, who chairs the House Science and Technology Committee, said in a statement released Monday. "Every decision I have made in Congress has been with their best interests in mind. I hope the people here at home feel that I have served them as well as their good advice and views have served me.

"When I was elected, I was the youngest member of the Tennessee congressional delegation; now, I'm one of the oldest. In fact, I have members of my staff who weren't even born when I took office. That tells me it's time for a new chapter," added Gordon.

Gordon says his family played a part in his decision: "Turning 60 has led me to re-evaluate what's next. I have an 8-year-old daughter and a wonderful wife who has a very demanding job. I am the only child of my 83-year-old mother, Margaret. They have made sacrifices to allow me to do what I love by serving in Congress, and now it's my turn," said Gordon.

One Democratic leadership aide tells CNN Gordon's announcement, first reported by the Washington Post, "was not a surprise, and we already have political people on the ground in the process of recruitment."

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman Chris Van Hollen also sounded an optimistic note. "We are confident that a Democrat who shares Chairman Gordon's commitment to putting progress before partisanship on behalf of Middle Tennessee will succeed him as the next Representative of Tennessee's 6th District," he said in a statement.

Gordon's move follows retirement announcements by fellow Democrats Brian Baird of Washington State, John Tanner of Tennessee and Dennis Moore of Kansas. Rep. Robert Wexler, who represents Florida's heavily-Democratic 19th congressional district, has also announced he's retiring next year. Six other House Democrats are running for higher office in 2010. No House Republicans have announced retirement, but as of now 12 are running for statewide offices next year rather than for re-election.

"It's official: Democrats now have a retirement problem. After being forced to toe the line for Nancy Pelosi's reckless agenda too many times, Blue Dog Democrats would rather roll over and retire than face the political headwind that is barreling toward them,: says National Republican Congressional Committee communications director Ken Spain. "This is evidence of the fact that the Obama-Pelosi agenda of government takeovers, permanent bailouts, and fewer jobs is taking a political and mental toll even on incumbent Democrats who were once-perceived to be firmly entrenched."

A Democratic leadership aide downplayed the development. "We've always said that there would be retirements. It happens every cycle."

Though the political landscape looks good for House Republicans next year, Democrats have not seen the same wave of retirements that occured before Republicans famously took back the House in 1994, when 28 Democrats chose not to seek re-election.

Democrats currently control the chamber by a margin of 258-177.

I wonder if retiring ensure him that he gets a pension, whereas a defeat means that he does not. He surely sees the writing on the wall, that the democrats are not only ignoring the voters, they are increasing hostile to them.
RJ December 14th, 2009 3:35 pm ET

In eight years the Republican party has brought this Great nation to it's knees, because of GREED ! Yet, the Red Necks like Randolph Sharter and buckwheat above continues to cheer the destruction on ! As far as the represent the Ghetto comment, I thought we were all Americans and if you knew how to read, you would know soon the majority of America will be multi-ethic !

They are baling out left and right.
J.R. December 14th, 2009 3:15 pm ET

I don't know why the Democrats can unite and pass whatever they want. The Republicans had no qualms whatsover doing that when they had control for six years during Bush's presidency. If they can remember this, and pass everything they can, they won't have to worry about retiring members because the people will continue to elect democrats in 2010 since they accomplishing everything they said they would be!
Jamie December 14th, 2009 3:14 pm ET

This is actually an opportunity for Democrats, not the doomsday media 24 hour news cycle schizophrenia its trying to make it into or the 'Republican Resurrection' Steele and talking heads try to 'mistake' Americans and CNN into perceiving. A political party always needs to renew its base and Democrats have the advantage of youth, women, and minorities. Republicans will never fully these groups into the 'tent', nor do these groups want to go as there, as polls still show - and don't buy that Governor's races that were two very local issues based elections will predict 2010 or 2012.

I only wish a lot of other "long tiomers" would retire also, from both parties. With that being said, as a livelong Democrat, I wish it was Nancy pelosi who was retiring. She is a left wing idealogue who is being every bit as destructive to the country as the Republicans were in the previous 10 years. I think only moderates should be elected. Period.
aneanderthal December 14th, 2009 2:03 pm ET

They know 2010 is going to be bad for democrats thanks to Hussein Obama and Botox Pelosi and they are jumping ship. We need a few more to admit their failures.
Claudia, Houston, Tx December 14th, 2009 2:00 pm ET

I think a lot of Democrat or Republican politicians recognize that running for any government office know the public will find things out about you that have never been exposed in past history. That's more than enough to make one abandoned ship.
Enough December 14th, 2009 1:59 pm ET

This is their way of saving face, instead of getting booted out like they know they would. Pelosi...........are you paying attention, leave now or be voted out in humiliation.
terry,va December 14th, 2009 1:57 pm ET

Don't quit chump. We want to kick your butt out.
Tommy Young December 14th, 2009 1:53 pm ET

That's a conservative district. The dems will have a hard time holding it. They'll probably keep John Tanner's seat though.

Hey Aunt Bea, if you knew anything about this district, you'd know that there is no "big money" in it.
Sniffit December 14th, 2009 1:50 pm ET

"Is the new health care pact doomed?"

Yep. It's been castrated by the spineless Dems who capitulated with the whining, fabricating, lying, insurance-industry pandering GOPers while Baucus led the retreat. It's not what's doomed...it's who's doomed:

45,000 / 365 = 123 people per day.

But they can wait, right GOPers? Who's counting anyway?

We already have term limits, they are called elections. If you are too lazy to campaign againts an incumbent, or vote against one if you don't like what they do, then shut up and get out of the way.
Bev December 14th, 2009 1:37 pm ET

The smart Democrats are those that are jumping ship now--rather than face the embarrassment of being clobbered in the 2010 elections!!

How can any Democratic politician defend the spending, unemployment rate, depressed economy-and other Obama/Democratic failed policies-and policies that go against what the MAJORITY in the country wants/does not want.

This is especially true if they are in conservative districts--where Bush or McCain won.

It is better for them to jump ship now--and save themselves the stress and embarassment.
SNAPPA December 14th, 2009 1:35 pm ET

Yep... The dem ship is sinking and you know what the rats are doing now...

HAVE A NICE DAY RANDOLPH!!!!!!!!
Hugo December 14th, 2009 1:32 pm ET

Gosh, is it me or is Dick Morris a sooth sayer? Didn't Morris predict nearly exactly this course of political mishaps and debauchery that we are living? I think 2010 is going to be a rat killing of epic proportion for both Republican and Democrats alike. We are living in history making times and you may see a transformation of the GOP Conservative thought to something a little less religious based yet still strong with the goodness of what makes us a FREE NATION!
Steve December 14th, 2009 1:31 pm ET

Why is anyone even allowed to serve that long?
Greg, MN December 14th, 2009 1:31 pm ET

This might be the DNC strategy in 2010. Fall on the sword so we can run a new liberal whack job under the campaign of "Change"
All the news that's fit to omit December 14th, 2009 1:29 pm ET

Rats from s sinking ship, the clueless and rudderless Captain is Obama and his first mates are Reid, Pelosi and Dodd.

One by one the gutless out of touch frauds will walk the plank.

2010 and 2012 - HISTORY will be made.
Cleaning the House December 14th, 2009 1:27 pm ET

Sweet. Maybe we can start getting honest politicians in office.
Sniffit December 14th, 2009 1:26 pm ET

"It's been 11 to 9 so far. Kinda throws a wrench in your whole theory, doesn't it?"

Don't be silly. Facts and evidence NEVER stopped a GOPer/neoclown from parroting whatever their mama bird, little Rushy Limbaugh, regurgitated into their mouths this morning. They all seem to believe that, no matter what the feedback is from reality, repeating what they want to be true (like trickle-down economics, etc.), forces reality to make it so.
OldUncleTom December 14th, 2009 1:11 pm ET

These statements deflect political realities in most cases. Retirement is preferable to losing, and after 20+ years, maybe its time to cash in the markers they have collected along the way.

"Serving the constituency" indeed!!
SocialismBad December 14th, 2009 1:10 pm ET

Every new day brings more good news! The Democrats can read the writing on the wall. They saw the American people in action last summer at town halls and can't take an election cycle after they are forced to vote for the healthcare debacle.

Will there be any Democratic bums to throw out by the time election time comes? Like all yellow bellies, they'd rather turn and run away with all their government benefits than stand before the electorate and defend this healthcare train wreck.

The rest of you not considering "retiring" might want to put more thought into it!
Joe Berson December 14th, 2009 1:05 pm ET

About a year ago with B. Obams's victory it appear the GOP was "dead in the water" for 2010 and 2012". Now it appear the Phoenix has arisen and things appear more hopeful for the "NO" party.
Two suggestions for immediately strengthening the "good guy party' is to replace Reid as majority leader in the Senate and Pelosi as speaker of the House.
Obama Victim December 14th, 2009 1:04 pm ET

can anyone say "Titanic'??
T'SAH from Virginia December 14th, 2009 1:04 pm ET

So now President Obama is being BLAMED for cabinet members retiring?????

Were we keeping track of all of the RETIREMENTS when BUSHwack was in office??? Was he being BLAMED for all of the RETIREMENTS that took place while he was president???

Actually, the Party of No RETIRES or QUITS for other reasons - like infidelity - can't handle the job - stealing - starting WARS they cannot finish, etc.

So I guess if a cockroach is seen leaving the White House with a suitcase, the Obama's would be blamed for bringing them there - AND, would be blamed for them moving out!!! The HATERS would state the CABINETS were too clean which forced the ROACHES to MOVE OUT because there wasn't enough FOOD................PLEASE - GIVE ME A BREAK!!
buckwheat December 14th, 2009 12:57 pm ET

Have you ever thought that a goodly portion of our "citizens" already have health care cradle to the grave.Check the contents of our prisons and you will find why health care is so costly.
Blaming the iceberg December 14th, 2009 12:56 pm ET

Rats leaving a sinking ship...
Billy J..Texas.. December 14th, 2009 12:54 pm ET

Civil service as a politician sucks.... period. Only someone with no honor and a huge ego would be able to stay. Well...... I guess that isn't true but it most take a real toll on the honest and well meaning pol.
Bob in Pa December 14th, 2009 12:53 pm ET

We need about 400 retirements from Congress and 80 from the Senate. We want and NEED TERM LIMITS !
Randy in PA December 14th, 2009 12:50 pm ET

I don't blame Gordon. Who in their right mind would want to work in Washington politics.

1) you can't really get anything positive and good done
2) you are constantly in a sniping environment
3) you are up against greed and corruption
4) you have to kiss everyones ass
5) even if you start out wanting to do good for this country you end up becoming a hack like the rest of them
buckwheat December 14th, 2009 12:50 pm ET

If you have never had the misfortune to visit a third world country save your money.By 2012 you will be in one.
buckwheat December 14th, 2009 12:47 pm ET

Why should they stay? They have accumulated enough time for the taxpayers to keep them up forever ,first class.The perks don't stop when they leave office they just keep perking on. Getting relected after supporting this president will be almost impossible when the ones who voted for him find what it is going to cost. Redistribution of wealth to the ones who haven't worked since the sixties is what it is all about.Thank Lyndon Johnson for the sorry state of our country. He made it possible to survive without moving no further than the mail box. There is no incentive to work.
Jonathan December 14th, 2009 12:46 pm ET

Republicans who think that Dems are jumping ship - you do realize that more Republicans have announced retirement than Democrats this year, don't you? It's been 11 to 9 so far. Kinda throws a wrench in your whole theory, doesn't it?
Pat F December 14th, 2009 12:40 pm ET

The rats are abandoning ship - better than losing an expensive election.

In 2010, we'll get the House back, at least - maybe the Senate too, if the deficit-exploding Democrats keep it up.
Rickster December 14th, 2009 12:30 pm ET

lol...Good old Barry Obama is the best thing that ever happened to the republican party. He's sinking right to the bottom and taking everybody who still supports him right along with.
Lori in St Pete December 14th, 2009 12:30 pm ET

Hmmm, I wonder how many multi-term republicans will take a page from the dems and walk the talk? If I was a betting woman I'd put up the farm with 10,000 - 1 odds that the number will be ZERO, and I'd be rich.
m jeff December 14th, 2009 12:24 pm ET

Blue Dogs are Republicans in disguise.
Silence Dogoode December 14th, 2009 12:17 pm ET

13 terms in 12 too many. We need term limits. We need them now.
its a shame December 14th, 2009 12:09 pm ET

had a chance to make a difference and the old guard is giving out
Aunt Bea and Opie December 14th, 2009 12:07 pm ET

Looks like the rightwing hillbillies and big money have overtaken his district.With people like Corker in that State,it looks as though they are returning to the stoneage,its a shame.
Tim December 14th, 2009 12:06 pm ET

Like humans, this "popular" president has evolved into no having a tail, or coat tail.
Jane/Seattle December 14th, 2009 12:02 pm ET

Fixing this governmental/corporate mess is hard work! Let only the strong work to correct these excesses! Calling for election process/financial reforms is the only way to get all the corporate hacks out and allow good folks to compete for the chance to really 'serve" this nation/world! Maybe he got a lobbying offer he can't refuse later! Or maybe the hopelessness of this is dawning on even these folks! Peace

DAILY TIP
Study the Lie of the Ball - John Fiander, PGA-Sleepy Hollow Gof Course

From a short chip to a full swing, if the entire ball lies below the top of the grass, you will need to make changes in your set-up and swing. You need to produce more of a steeper swing to get the ball up out of the grass. Two keys that help first place more weight on your lead leg at your set-up. Second, you will need to more actively and sharply hinge your wrists at the start of the backswing. Keep your weight on your left foot and attack with a steep downward swing.

Extreme!! Especially because the transmission of the blitz was not available - for me.

Okay Gelfand is a bear! And Pono will make it next time. He is very much better than most of the fans think about him.

okay from germany

Great job!

Gabor said...

Indeed he deserves a huge congratulations. After all, he won out of 128 chess players, quite a few from the top echelon.

I for one, value this format more, than when some organizer invites 8 players (whoever they are) in a totally arbitrary fashion and they play one round of round robin (see London Chess Classic, or whatever the official name is).

I like the London Chess Classic much better. This fast elimination is senseless. It does not produce the best challenger for the world champion match.

They may as well flip coins and save energy. Although there is a bias toward the higher rated players winning.

Gelfand won with Rybka installed in that dead poodle hat of his! Someone needs to check and see if a chess computer is hiding in that furry hat!

The truth is out there!

Gelfand proved to be one step ahead. I predicted Gelfand win since round 2.

OSLO - Newly enshrined among the world's great peacemakers, President Barack Obama offered a striking defense of war. Eleven months into his presidency, a fresh Obama doctrine. Evil must be vigorously opposed, he declared as he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on Thursday. At the same time, he made an impassioned case for building a "just and lasting peace."

"I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people," Obama told his audience in Oslo's soaring City Hall. "For make no mistake: Evil does exist in the world."

Pronouncing himself humbled by such an honor so early in "my labors on the world stage," Obama nevertheless turned his Nobel moment into an unapologetic defense of armed intervention in times of self defense or moral necessity. The hawkish message was an inevitable nod to the controversy defining his selection: an American president, lauded for peace just as he escalates the long, costly war in Afghanistan.

It was a jarring moment when Obama, in the midst of the ceremony, said of his troops in Afghanistan: "Some will kill. Some will be killed."

He lauded Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., preachers of nonviolent action. But he added, "A nonviolent movement could not have halted Hitler's armies. Negotiations cannot convince al-Qaida's leaders to lay down their arms."

"To say that force is sometimes necessary is not a call to cynicism, it is a recognition of history."

The president laid out circumstances in which war is justified - in self-defense, to come to the aid of an invaded nation, on humanitarian grounds such as when civilians are slaughtered by their own government.

At the same time, he also stressed a need to fight war according to "rules of conduct" that reject torture, the murder of innocents and other atrocities.

"We lose ourselves when we compromise the very ideals that we fight to defend," he said. "And we honor those ideals by upholding them not when it's easy, but when it is hard."

He emphasized a need to exhaust alternatives to violence, including worldwide sanctions with teeth to confront nations such as Iran or North Korea that defy international demands. He pushed himself away from George W. Bush in defending diplomatic outreach that engages even enemies. He defined peace as civil rights, free speech and economic opportunity, not just the absence of conflict.

"Let us reach for the world that ought to be," Obama said. "We can understand that there will be war, and still strive for peace."

Back in the U.S., presidential historians and foreign policy specialists saw the speech as underscoring Obama's revamping of America's stance - away from confrontation and toward cooperation and negotiation when possible, and military action when unavoidable.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser, said Obama had presented "a very broadly stated case that we cannot in all circumstances avoid war." But he said he would have liked to have heard "some greater clarification of how he will pursue the broad objectives he has articulated."

Obama showed "a sense of daring" in talking about war as he was honored as a man of peace, said John Baick, professor of history at Western New England College in Springfield, Mass. "He bared his soul, said we were going to have to kill, have to send soldiers to die, we hope we're doing the right thing," Baick said.

The centerpiece of Obama's swift trip to Europe, the speech doubled the length of his inaugural address. Appearing tired here, Obama had worked all the way through the night on the flight to Norway, an aide said.

Such is the weight of he prize. Suddenly and forever, Obama is in the company of King, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama.

He drew laughter from his hosts when he acknowledged "the considerable controversy that your generous decision has generated."

"My accomplishments are slight," Obama said, by comparison to such "giants of history." In addition to other Nobel winners, he said the unrecognized masses who fight for peace are "far more deserving."

Obama's wife, first lady Michelle Obama, listened to her husband's words and showed tears by the end. The president was accompanied by a small crew of family, friends and advisers.

Politically, the White House was careful not to play up Obama's big award, what with so many families hurting economically at home and more troops heading off to war. Quite a few Norwegians were said to be miffed that he stayed but a day, not the usual three, and skipped a number of traditional events.

Still there was ceremony aplenty.

Before an evening banquet with Norwegian royalty, the Obamas stepped onto their hotel balcony to wave to a crowd of thousands who had gathered for a torchlight procession. In the square below, there were chants of "Yes, we can" and "O-ba-ma" as scores of torches were held aloft. Nearby, up to 2,000 demonstrators protested, many carrying banners demanding the U.S. get out of Afghanistan.

Obama capped his evening with a sentimental toast at a candlelit dinner with Norwegian dignitaries, paying tribute to the influence of his late mother and the "largeness of her heart." And he spoke hopefully of the "extraordinary power" of the Nobel Prize to lift up those who might otherwise be forgotten.

Earlier, on a damp and chilly day, the reaction on the streets of Oslo seemed curious but not overly excited. Crowds were not nearly of the size Obama has seen elsewhere. And there were protests.

When Obama pulled up to the prime minister's office, black-hooded anti-war demonstrators banged drums and chanted slogans such as: "The Afghan people are paying the price."

The president will return to Europe next week to speak at the international conference on climate change, and activists pushing for a serious global climate deal challenged Obama to earn his award.

He won it, in the eyes of the Nobel committee, for changing the U.S. approach toward the world. The panel cited his efforts on nuclear disarmament, climate change and diplomacy.

"President Obama is a political leader who understands that even the mightiest are vulnerable when they stand alone," the committee chairman, Thorbjorn Jagland, said Thursday.

In every stop of Obama's Oslo tour, war shadowed peace.

The president who is sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan made clear in a brief news conference that when troops begin coming home in July 2011, the pace will not be fast.

It was the latest, sober warning that the United States will be at war for years.

As for the other criticism of Obama's award - it was just plain premature for a leader not quite 11 months on the job - the president said to track his results. He said he wants to advance America's international interests and fix its economy, not win an award.

"If I'm successful in those tasks, then hopefully some of the criticism will subside," he said. "But that's not really my concern."

The Nobel comes with a $1.4 million prize. The White House says Obama will give that to charities but has not yet decided which ones.

2010 Budget's Earmarks

The House passed a $477 billion budget for 2010 that includes 5,000 "earmarks," pet projects worth nearly $4 billion. Sharyl Attkisson follows the money, in what some say is wasteful spending.

हिमाल छिटो पग्लेकोमा आरोहीहरु चिन्तित

संजय ढकाल
बीबीसी नेपाली सेवा

आप्पा शेर्पा
किर्तिमानी आरोही शेर्पाले हिमाल पग्लने क्रम रोक्न अवेर गर्न नहुने बताए
आप्पा शेर्पाले विश्वको सबैभन्दा अग्लो शिखर सगरमाथा हालसम्म १९ पटक चढिसकेका छन्।

तर गत वर्ष १९औं पटक ८८५० मीटर अग्लो उक्त हिमाल चढ्दा उनले अनौठो दृश्य देखे।

करीब ८००० मीटर माथि रहेको साउथ कोल भनिने ठाउँमा उनले हिउँ संगसंगै पानी पनि देखे।

"पहिले कहिल्यै नदेखेको त्यस्तो दृश्य देख्दा मलाई अचम्म लाग्यो," उनले भने।

हिउँ पग्लियो

जलवायु परिवर्तनका कारण अन्टार्टिका महादेशको हिउँ पग्लिएको तथा माल्दिभ्स् जस्ता टापु देशहरु डुब्न लागेको कुरा त धेरै चर्चामा आएको छ।

तर तापक्रममा आउन थालेको वृद्धिले हाम्रै देशका हिमालहरु पग्लने क्रम समेत बढेको बारे धेरैलाई थाहा छैन।

त्यसैले होला आफु चढ्ने हिमाल वरिपरिको वातावरणमा आउन थालेको परिवर्तनलाई नजिकबाट नियालेका आरोहीहरुले हिमालहरु तीव्र गतिमा पग्लन थालेको भन्दै मानिसहरुलाई झक्झकाउन कम्मर कसेका छन्।

सगरमाथा एकपटक चढिसकेकी तथा अन्य हिमालहरुसमेत आरोहण गरेकी शैली बस्नेतका अनुसार वर्षैपिच्छे हिमालको रुप परिवर्तन हुन थालेको छ।

"हिमाल चढ्ने काम त विस्तारै पहाड चढ्ने जस्तो भइसक्यो। हिउँ नभई चट्टानमात्र भएका कारण," उनले भनिन्।

हिमताल

जलवायु परिवर्तनको कारण हिमाल छिटो पग्लिएको असरको एउटा प्रष्ट उदाहरणको रुपमा आरोही तथा वातावरणविद्हरुले सगरमाथा क्षेत्रमा रहेको इम्जा हिमताललाई लिने गरेका छन्।

सन १९६० सम्म अस्तित्वमै नरहेको सो ताल हाल सवा दुई किलोमीटर लामो ९०० मीटर चौडा तथा ९२ मीटर गहिरो छ।

५००० मीटर माथिको उचाइमा रहेको यो ताल फुट्ने खतरा समेत रहेको धेरैले औंल्याएका छन्।
सो ताल फुटेमा तल रहेको दिङ्गबोचे गाउँमा गम्भीर प्रभाव पर्ने बताइएको छ।

अर्का सगरमाथा आरोही तथा हिमाल सफाई अभियानकर्ता दावा स्टिभन शेर्पा भन्छन् तीव्र गतिमा हिउँ पग्लिएपछि आगामी केही दशकमा यो पूरै क्षेत्र सुख्खा बन्ने डर बढेको छ।

तापक्रम

विज्ञहरु भन्छन् नेपालमा प्रत्येक वर्ष औसत ०.०६ डिग्रि सेल्सियसले तापक्रम बढेको छ।
तर हिमाली क्षेत्रमा तापक्रम बढ्ने क्रम उक्त औसतभन्दा दोब्बर रहेको बताइन्छ।

त्यसैकारण अचेल जमेको हिउँसंग भेट्न दिनपरदिन बढी उकालो उक्लिन परेको आरोही शैली बस्नेत बताउँछिन्।

"लाङटाङ क्षेत्रमा तीसौं वर्षदेखि हिउँमा खेल्ने प्रशिक्षण दिने गरीन्छ। तर हरेक वर्ष विद्यार्थीहरुलाई हिउँसंग खेल्न झन झन माथि चढ्नु परेको छ। किनकि तलतिर हिउँ जम्न छोडेर चट्टानमात्रै बाँकि हुनथालेको छ," बस्नेतको भनाइ थियो।

हिमाली क्षेत्रमा तत्काल ध्यान नपुर्याउने हो भने हिमाल मुन्तिरका गाउँहरुमात्र नभई यस वरिपरिका दक्षिण एशिया तथा चीनका मानिसहरुसमेत अप्ठेरोमा पर्ने अधिकारीहरु स्वयं बताउँछन्।

वन तथा भूसंरक्षण मन्त्री दिपक बोहोरा भन्छन्, "हिमाल पग्लनु निकै चिन्ताको विषय बनेको छ। यसले नेपाल, भारत र चीनका जनतालाई टड्कारो असर पर्ने देखिन्छ।"

तेस्रो ध्रुव

उत्तरी र दक्षिणी ध्रुव- आर्कटिक र अन्टार्टिका जस्तै तेस्रो ध्रुव भनिने हिमालय क्षेत्रमा तापक्रम बढेकै कारण हिउँ पग्लिएर समुद्रि सतह बढ्न थालेको वैज्ञानिकहरुले बताएका छन्।

दक्षिण एशियामै पनि माल्दीभ्स् जस्ता टापु देशहरु पूरै डुब्ने खतरा रहेको उनीहरुले बताएका छन्।
यो समस्याको समाधान गर्न हिमालयमा ध्यान दिन ढिला गर्न नहुने नेपाल पर्वतारोहण संघका अध्यक्ष आङ छिरिङ शेर्पाले बताए।

"हिमाल पग्लिएमा केवल हिमाली क्षेत्रका बासिन्दालाई मात्र असर गर्ला भनेर सोच्नु भूल हुनेछ," शेर्पाले भने।

हिमाली क्षेत्रमा परेको समस्याबारे संसारको ध्यान खिंच्न आगामी डिसेम्बर महिनामा हुने अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय जलवायु सम्मेलन ताका सरकारले आरोहीहरुलाई डेनमार्कको कोपेनहेगनमा भेला गर्ने निर्णय गरेको छ।

त्यो भन्दा अगाडिनै सगरमाथाको आधार शिविरमा क्याबीनेट बैठक बस्नेपनि कुरा छ।

तर विश्लेषकहरु भन्छन् विकसित र ठूला मुलुकहरुले तापक्रम बढाउन योगदान पुग्ने खालका काम नरोकेसम्म हिमाल पग्लिने खतरा टर्ने छैन।

By MIKE BAKER, Associated Press Writer Mike Baker, Associated Press Writer - Thu Nov 19, 5:44 pm ET

RALEIGH, N.C. - The U.S. Army plans to prevent media from covering Sarah Palin's appearance at Fort Bragg, fearing the event will turn into political grandstanding against President Barack Obama, officials said Thursday.

Fort Bragg spokesman Tom McCollum told The Associated Press that the military post's garrison commander and other Army officials had decided to keep media away from Palin's book signing, which will not include a speech.

The AP and The Fayetteville Observer were protesting the decision to ban media.

"The law couldn't be clearer about this," said AP Associate General Counsel Dave Tomlin. "The government can't admit the general public but keep journalists out."

McCollum said the Army did not want the Monday event to become a platform to express political opinions "directed against the commander in chief."

"The main reason is to stop this from turning into a political platform," he said. "There are Army regulations that basically prohibit military reservations from becoming political platforms by politicians."

He said only one politician can use that platform, "and that person does it as our commander in chief."

Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, has already agreed not to give a speech at Fort Bragg, McCollum said. Officials said Palin will only sign her books at the event and will not stop to pose for photographs or personalize the books.

But McCollum worried that Palin's supporters might use the media to express political opinions from the sprawling military installation that serves as a base for some 35,000 soldiers.

"This will stop someone from grandstanding," he said. Other members of the public would be permitted to attend.

Fort Bragg does not hold many promotional events, especially not with political figures, McCollum said. He added that politicians do come onto Fort Bragg in their official capacity to meet with troops or do private events, but not to hold forums or give speeches. He said the Army was fine allowing Palin to do her event, so long as it didn't become a stage for a public political discussion via the media.

Palin's spokeswoman didn't immediately return an e-mail message seeking comment and a spokeswoman for Palin's publisher, HarperCollins, did not immediately return a call.

Palin began her promotional tour this week for a new memoir, "Going Rogue," with plans to travel through several states that were key to the 2008 election, including North Carolina. She made several stops in the state in 2008 while campaigning on the ticket of GOP presidential nominee John McCain.

McCollum said it's not clear if military officials consider Palin a politician but noted that she has been critical of Obama while promoting the book. She said in an interview with ABC News that Obama should provide more troops to Afghanistan.

"It frustrates me and frightens me - and many Americans - that President Obama is dithering around with the decision in Afghanistan," she said.

Palin doesn't appear to be using her book-signing events to explicitly promote her politics. She spoke briefly to supporters outside an event in Michigan on Wednesday, saying it was great to be there and not mentioning Obama.

At least one person in the crowd yelled: "Palin power. 2012, yes."

well done, 27 May 2006
9/10
Author: geauxgirllafayette from United States

Caught the world premiere at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte-- we're not race fans ourselves by any means, but you really don't have to be to get on the road with this one. We were privvy to a couple inside jokes, living amongst the racing atmosphere that IS Charlotte, but even if we hadn't gotten that extra little chuckle, there's definitely plenty to find. Not just for kids. Kids will like the cute characters, and bright colors, adults will like it simply because it's just plain entertaining without having to dumb down to appeal to kids. You'll find yourself wanting to find the next twisty backroad to get to your next destination. Watch for all kids of cameo's, and it's too bad IMDb doesn't include a picture of the animated character as well-- it's not always easy to remember what the names are once you get home. Owen's good, Newman is classic, if a little flat (I applaud him for just plain staying active and leaving his house!), but it's really Larry the Cable Guy's movie-- newfound appreciation for that one-- and "tow-mater" is a multi-layered pun. Not only on the fact that he's a tow truck, but also his "they call me tater salad" bit-- Overall, highly entertaining, just try not to speed too much on the way home....
