As expected, the Florida baseball team will begin its quest to reach the College World Series in Gainesville.
The Gators will play host to one of 16 NCAA regionals and will begin play on Friday at McKethan Stadium. The remaining teams in each region, as well as the top eight national seeds, will be announced at 12:30 p.m. today in a live broadcast on ESPN.
"We're extremely happy about hosting games in Gainesville," UF coach Kevin O'Sullivan said. "It is great news for our program, our players, the university, and the fans and we appreciate the support."
Fourth-ranked Florida (42-15) won the regular-season Southeastern Conference title for the first time since 2005, which was the last time the Gators advanced to the CWS. UF went 2-2 at last week's SEC Tournament in Hoover, Ala.
Florida is playing host to a regional for the ninth time in school history and the second year in a row. The Gators beat Bethune-Cookman once and Miami twice to win the regional last years but fell to Southern Miss in the best-of-three Super Regional in Gainesville.
Miami is one of the 15 other schools awarded regionals on Sunday. Florida State will not play host to a regional.

By Alan Fisher in Islamabad
Dozens have died in a growing wave of violence in Pakistan's port city of Karachi [AFP]
In a country which is no stranger to death and destruction, for Pakistan 2009 was the bloodiest year on record.
According to figures compiled by the Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies (Pips) there were 3,021 deaths in what it calls terrorist attacks last year, a leap of 48 per cent on the year before.
The bombing of the Ashura procession in Karachi on December 28 which killed more than 30, was the last of 87 suicide attacks in 2009.
These figures just reaffirm what most people thought they knew, Pakistan is one of the most dangerous places on earth.
Just across the border in Afghanistan, slightly more than 2,000 civilians were killed during the first ten months of the year according to the United Nations, while in Iraq, one leading advocacy group put the death toll at 4,500.
The Pips research is collated from observers on the ground, official sources and newspaper, magazine and television reports.
It reveals that there were 12,600 violent deaths across the country last year, with at least half of those being fighters caught up in the army offensives in South Waziristan and the Swat Valley or targeted by US drone strikes.
Civilian casualties
Many civilians were also caught up in these attacks.
Muhammed Amir Rana, the report's author, is softly spoken and genial, but he has a hard hitting message for the government.
"It does not have a comprehensive long–term strategy to address the problem, and is relying mainly on a firefighting approach," he says.
"Though the police were able to thwart many terrorist attacks in the country, scores of ferocious attacks targeting civilians and the security forces served as a reminder of the threat that the country faces."
And he warned that without a comprehensive, multi-layered short- and long-term strategy, the potential is that 2010 "may be as bad or even worse".
The Pakistan army's drive into South Waziristan was its second major offensive in 2009, which followed the operation in Swat and across Malakand.
It is always difficult to confirm battlefield casualties, but the army hailed both operations as a success, claiming they had killed many fighters in their battle against the Pakistani Taliban.
Tahira Abdullah is a veteran human rights campaigner.
She was arrested by the Pakistan government back in March and released after a few hours.
Addullah was also branded a CIA agent by the Taliban and attacked in her Islamabad home for her views and opinions.
Short, with her grey haired pulled back, she looks like a friendly school teacher. She has a readily laugh, but when she talks about the number of deaths outlined in the report, she gets angry.
"I am a Pakistani, but I was a human being before I was a Pakistani and these deaths are unacceptable," she says.
"It is wrong people are being killed by the Taliban, it is wrong that they are being killed in army offensives, and it is wrong that they are being killed by drone attacks.
"It's as if Pakistanis are expendable in the so-called 'War on Terror'. We are being used to fight someone else's proxy war."
2010 has already started badly, with more than 90 people killed in a Taliban suicide attack in Laki Marwat, a district next to South Waziristan on the first day of the New Year.
And with reports that the army is preparing a new offensive, this time in North Waziristan, this could be another bloody year.


In a surprise announcement on Twitter today (March 20), Logic unveiled that his new album will be coming soon. The release date wasn't specified, but it's called Confessions of a Dangerous Mind — the words unveiled in crimson ink in an admittedly sinister looking font. How these unveils came was... scary and maybe disturbing at the least. Logic bloodied himself up in a stomach-turning video unveiling that's darkly mystifying in its startling intensity.
The video in question is four minutes long. Logic captioned the video, "I wrote this one in Blood." He made his Twitter avatar a picture of his face in this human ketchup, smiling like a madman. Logic stands in complete darkness, rapping new material with an enormous gash on his neck. Over time, the intensity in his performance doesn't change while the amount of blood on his body does. His shirt grows redder, his neck grows slicker, his eyes grow wider. By the end of the performance, he's been doused in the blood like it's a marinade for a chicken wing. This is Logic's mind, dark and violent. And it looks like the stories housed in this chamber of torture are about to be unveiled.
Logic's last studio album was YSIV that came out in September. Earlier this week, he shared a collaboration with 21 musicians from Joseph Gordon-Levitt's HITRECORD creative platform, "Do What You Love."
Check out the creepy trailer up above.

MAASTRICHT Can you be a tourists in your own country? Yes you can. But to understand that I like to explain something. Netherlands, however small, is divided into 12 pieces or better said 12 provinces. 12 provinces, each with its own character, but at one point they are all equal. So are the provinces of North Holland, South Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland, Flevoland, Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, Noord Brabant and Limburg, Overijsel all working by means of water management in the process of dry feet. Compared to the mostly low-lying provinces of Netherlands, Limburg is however to call by its hilly terrain, High. With the Cauberg mountain as highest point. The capital of the most Southern province of the Netherlands ,Limburg, is Maastricht. Maastricht is one of the oldest cities of our country is best described as a truly exuberant city and can fit easily somewhere in France, in short, very different than most cities in Netherlands, and I may say it as an Amsterdammer tourist. Residents of Maastricht are fond of music, good food, fashion and Carnival. The Vrijthof Square and the adjacent Cafés are really worth a visit. World famous are the Concerts on Vrijthof Square by the Johan Strauss Orchestra under the inspiring leadership of the Maastricht conductor André Rieu. This concert is visited each year by hundreds of foreign fans. If you do not know this Orchestra and André Rieu look on You Tube. Maastricht is only a 30 kilometres drive to Liege in Belgium and a 30 kilometre drive to Aachen in Germany. Maastricht? Go! Just Go!
Dana RebmannSanta Rosa
Maastricht is one of the oldest cities in Holland. Wander along the city walls or down its cobblestone streets. Churches and an assortment of other buildings hundreds of years old co-exist with restaurants and a wide variety of stores.
Kat Von B (Travelinggreek)Huntington Beach
This town near the Dutch-Belgian border is one of my favorites in the Netherlands. It is small and easy to navigate and mixes the cultures of both countries in an interesting way. The Caves of St.Peter are a highlight. There are many spas that have outdoor pools overlooking the scenic town of Valkenburg. I highly suggest the spa experience!

More Overview of Maastricht, The Netherlands Information by Rough Guides MAASTRICHT made world headlines in 1992, when the signing of the Maastricht Treaty created the European Union. With its cobbled streets and fashionable boutiques in the old town, contemporary architecture in the Céramique district, a fantastic art fair and excellent cuisine, Maastricht is one of the most vibrant cities in the Netherlands. Add in its continental feel, the multilingual population and close proximity to Belgium and Germany and it's no wonder why the Eurocrats signed the treaty here: Maastricht epitomizes the most positive aspects of European union. Vying with Nijmegen as the oldest town in the country, Maastricht has become something of a call-centre capital, hosting the likes of Mercedes Benz and DHL. Redevelopment continues apace today with the "City Centre in Motion" scheme, whose most recent contribution is 't Bassin, a spruced up inland harbour north of the Markt, with restaurants, cafés, shops and galleries. Other parts of the town make for delightful walking territory, especially the older quarters such as Stokstraat.

Q: remove/hide card.io/paypal logo android I am integrating Card.io in my android app and I want to remove the paypal logo.
I searched stackoverflow and got to know the usage of EXTRA_USE_CARDIO_LOGO.
Setting this to true or false, shows either Paypal or Card.io logo.
My client requires that there should be no logo at all.
Any help?

A: Josh from card.io here. There is no way to entirely disable logos.

A: Jeff Brateman's answer above is partly correct. The PayPal logo is actually shown in 2 places, the card scanning view and the card details entry view. In order to hide both of them you need to add two putExtras to your scan intent:
scanIntent.putExtra(CardIOActivity.EXTRA_HIDE_CARDIO_LOGO, true);
scanIntent.putExtra(CardIOActivity.EXTRA_USE_PAYPAL_ACTIONBAR_ICON, false);

A: Update on this answer - as of 4.0+, card.io now supports full removal of the card.io logo with EXTRA_HIDE_CARDIO_LOGO.

ALASKA TRAVEL
The Alaskan Comedy: Joie de Vivre
Alaska: my last vacation. Something for which my husband had been planning for almost the last two years. A coveted trip for him. A trip where I had family for company, other than hubby's same old office crowd, who are obsessed with their life with software codes. So a great trip which we were both looking forward to, in our own ways. Not to forget the midnight sun, which was the cherry on the cake. It surely gave us more hours in a day to be tourists.
There are many sides to this prism called Alaskan Holiday: Nature in general, wildlife in particular, food and not to forget all the funny things which rocked us. I have been criticised for being a bit too pessimistic when I write about personal stuff, so thought of sharing memories which tickled all my funny bones. Sinking in glacial moraines, being chased by a drunk Eskimo in the middle of the night, or bathing in soft drinks, or hubby doing a Ranboor Kapoor's Saawariya act, or having my bag up in fire in the middle of a pub. It was all packed into this super hectic and super fun trip.
The airlines messed up our seats in the first flight from Kansas City to Phoenix, and the pessimist me, naturally blamed the poor boy for being careless again. My reason, well, didn't the same thing happen earlier as well. I was super pissed. Lets say royally angry. No amount of persuasions were working for me. Even debated heading back to KC, and dumping Alaska altogether. But then, hubby managed to get seats together in the next long flight to Anchorage after convincing a bit too many people. The man could not run from pillar to post in his seat, but almost tried to speak to all around his seat, to exchange with mine. At last, I could rest my head on the broad shoulders, and sleep it out. Had forgotten my pillow, and airline seats can get uncomfortable for long hauls. My cola addiction took the better of me, and I thought of downing just one swig of the pet bottle which hubby had so affectionately purchased for me. What could go wrong in that?! Well, I was mistaken. The bottle opened with more than fizz. and before I could realize I was bathed in a black sticky drink. From head to toe. From my hair to my shorts, from my flip flops to hands, everything was doused in Coke. And the flight was just taking off then, so no chance of hitting the restroom. I had the brilliant idea of doing a kerb side check in of my other hand baggage which had a change of clothes, so that meant 5 hours in the sticky mess. Getting drenched in the rain with your partner can be romantic, but doused in an aerated drink, in a cramped space, and literally sticking to the seat, is what one calls, absolutely bugging. Somehow, I guess, all that the situation brought to our faces, was just a stream of laughter. What else could we do? the day had been bad, and it was just getting worse. We could only laugh about it. My bangs were like tendrils dipped in glue, my white shorts had batches of light brown on them, not to mention the irritating feeling of being sticky right upto the bone. Luckily Anchorage greeted us with lovely rains and a beautiful rainbow, so that made a nice ending and a cleaner feeling. The hot shower never felt any better than that particular night.
My Mashi and cousin had joined us the next day, and the touristy journey began from one corner of the final frontier to the other. Crazy driving, long hours, cold winds, picturesque locales, and lots of good food. The mountain air was even making an anorexic like me, super hungry. After day long scenic darshans, we decided to head for one of the pubs in Anchorage. Chilkoot Charlie's. Supposedly the wildest night spot in the city. A confusion regarding who should place the order for the booze, led us to not even drinking a drop of any intoxicants. But what happened, was even funnier. Was so busy soaking in all the fun happening in front, with guys almost stripping in a contest, that I didnt realise that my brand new hand bag was on fire. Yes, on fire. There was a candle on the table, which I had mistaken as just a falsy light, and my poor bag had leaned over a bit too precariously over the dancing little flames, and there it was all up in smoke. And there were too many voices all around. My bother was checking whether I was alright, hubby was shouting as to how could I do this to a bag which he had presented to me, my mashi was reassuring me that it was just a bag, and I was reassuring myself that it was just GAP, and not my GUCCIs or COACHes. So far the trip was becoming really eventful. Lots of Breaking News, in the typical journo lingo.
The Alaskan holiday had a bevy of glacier sightings: Portage glacier, Matanuska Glacier, Prince William Sound Glacier and Aialik Glacier to name a few. For all those planning on Alaskan trips, do not make the mistakes we made. If you want to feel what its like to walk on a glacier, then make your way towards Matanuska. But please spend some time, in figuring out which way to walk. We were so enthused about being able to walk on a moving river of ice, that we forgot to find out which is the correct way to cross the moraines and then reach the moving ice. We absolutely missed the right way, and rather than approaching the glacier from one side, we thought of approaching it from upfront. Big Mistake! Sliding up and down the moraines was initially fun, but we had to remember that we had senior citizen with us. It was all fun and laughter, and crazy photographs. My Mashi had slowed her pace down, so bro and me decided to do the same. Hubby dearest was busy in his nature photography and didnt notice that there was a distance between him and the party following him. It was just then that Mashi started laughing that her feet were almost sinking in the ground. It was all clayey moraines all around. Bro and me approached her, only to realise we were going down too. It was like in all those B grade Bollywood films, where the hero or the heroine gets stuck in sinking sand. We were actually sinking and actually laughing about it. Mashi kept calling out for hubby, and he thought it was for taking pictures. It was then we realised that her laughter had turned to tears of fear, and she was calling out for help. So in trying to bail Mashi out, all of us were stuck in knee deep clay, which was taking us further down. There were no other people around us, and calling for 911 was not an option, as the cell phone was out of network. The only saving grace was the broad daylight. The heart feels stronger when there is light on our side. Somehow we bailed each other out, but the shoes decided to stay within the muck. So had to dig out the shoes, and then walk back to the car. And then we saw around, we were certainly lost. We could figure out no way, to reach the car. One trail we took, landed us near the glacial river, so a detour had to be on the cards. Somehow found our way back. We just could not help laughing at our follies all the way back from the glacier. How did we pay money, and sign up for death, almost to be sunk in a glacial mud field. It was almost as they say in Hindi," Aa bail, mujhe maaar." Did I mention that when we were leaving, we managed to locate the right trail to the glacier.
We had a lovely creek side log cabin, which also had a small pub close by in Denali. But all that we got of the lovely log cabin, was a chance to take a shower. Hubby's trip planning had hit an all time low, and he had grossly miscalculated the time. So it was just a lot of lustful glances at dawn, as we left the cabins. The lovely patio, and the gurgling brook running right in front, the lofty mountains rising up not so far away, but all that we could hope for, was ways of rewinding time. No one knew how to go back in time, so alas, we were again on our way. Yes, I know, its just one of those Namesake like trips, where desis pile on to mini vans and drive on for long distances, in a a crazy bid to see more and more places. Somehow I find it very meaningless, but hey, I am not the one paying for the trip, am I?!
It was just one night in the whole trip when we reached out hotel in a respectable time. As my cousin had made last minute reservations, he could not manage to get hotel rooms for that night. So we were all tucked in to one big rooom. It was super fun, for it was so full of Kolkattan adda. We decided to go downstairs for a ciggy break, and what do we find on our way back, an Eskimo all set to play cat and mouse with us. The man was drunk. It was just the morning before that I had seen the Ulu knives that these people are known to carry at all times. So when he menacingly told us,"Come on, Come on," we decided to just run. He was blocking the elevator, so scrambling up three floors, when one has downed martinis, was not an easy task. Luckily he couldnot match his swagger to our desperate dash. Chased by an Eskimo! Did I ever think that would happen to me, when I had studied about these people in middle school. We were finally back in the room, panting and out of breath, and also trying to relate to the other inmates what had just happened. And it was just then, that hubby did a Saawariya act. Well, lets say, it was purely accidental, after all that nervous running. But we were all in splits. We did not need fireworks on the 4th of July, there was enough happening in our own lives.

A large Diana statue, carved in Vicenza stone with deer sculpture (deer with bronze horns). Artemis was one of the most widely venerated of the Ancient Greek deities. Her Roman equivalent is Diana. Some scholars believe that the name and indeed the goddess herself was originally pre-Greek. Homer refers to her as Artemis Agrotera, Potnia Theron: "Artemis of the wildland, Mistress of Animals".
In the classical period of Greek mythology, Artemis was often described as the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. She was the Hellenic goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth, virginity and young girls, bringing and relieving disease in women; she often was depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrows. The deer and the cypress were sacred to her. In later Hellenistic times, she even assumed the ancient role of Eileithyia.

Tiny Desk Contest entrant Zhalarina on the paternal bond that inspired 'Lala' : All Songs Considered Judges for the Tiny Desk Contest watched thousands of videos, and Weekend Edition is highlighting some of the standouts — this week: rapper Zhalarina's "Lala."

Zhalarina entered the 2021 Tiny Desk Contest with her song "Lala."
This year's edition of the Tiny Desk Contest may have already crowned Neffy the winner, but NPR Music discovered thousands of talented artists during the process, and Weekend Edition is spotlighting some of those stand-out entries.
One of those entries was the song "Lala" by the artist Zhalarina, a powerful, a cappella rap song she describes as a love letter to her father, who was incarcerated at the time she wrote it. The term "Lala," Zhalarina says, comes from a phrase the artist's father used to say to her.
"There was a time, unfortunately, and it happened once where my dad sort of seemed like he wasn't in his body and I didn't know what was happening," she tells Weekend Edition's Scott Simon. "He realized that I realized it and explained in the quickest way that he could that he was just in 'La La Land.' Growing up, the irony of 'Lala' potentially being a drug ... I thought about that later."
Zhalarina says "Lala" has led to a lot of healing. And her father, who was released from prison in 2019, refers to it as their special song.
"He's like, I was listening to our song the other day," Zhalarina says. "My favorite thing about the song is that it has done exactly what I wanted it to do for my family ... My dad definitely cries every time he hears it, and I think it's sparked a lot of conversations that were difficult to have."

Triumphant Victorious Reminders: January 1, 2010, "New"
We have entered the New Year...it's truly another 'new' year that we get to be a part of. Yet what about the new day that we can seize at this very moment...right now.
The resolutions whether placed on paper, in our minds or if we've made resolutions at all; I am challenged to have a resolution on 'right now'...this very moment. Taking the opportunity in a 'new day' to live, breathe, love and forgive. More than anything enjoying and basking in the love of God that He desires to lavishly overwhelm us. The purpose? To overwhelm others with Who He is!
I am led to be reminded that many times our milestones can be so far reaching that we place ourselves in this box of 'tradition'. We tend to only celebrate once a year; when the celebration can take place right now. Celebrating our lives here on earth that can make such a great, positive impact for so many others and it glorifies God as we declare the Works of the Lord (Ps. 118:17).
We have a new day...let's celebrate it while we can. This thought challenges me to truly celebrate every 'new' second, minute, hour, day and evening that approaches.
I just love your post and you are so very right! We need to celebrate more then we do, totally on a regular basics then just once a year and that's what i'm choosing to do this year.
Thank you Ladies for stopping by...Sherri...this is an awakening for me to 'just' be enveloped and in awe of the present according to His Magnificent Presence! Wooooo!
Wishing you and yours a BLESSED New Year...I have a feeling that 2010 has some great things in store for you!
I've always heard that said about Christmas but it does apply to New Year's too. One day is not more special than the other it's just our perspective of it that makes it that much grander.
I saw your picture in my followers spot tonight and thought I'd say thanks for wandering by and I hope you'll be coming by often!

The Wobblies at War (review of Cain)
Open for Comments ↓
'The Wobblies at War' (review of Cain), Honest History, 11 July 2017
Rowan Day* reviews Frank Cain's The Wobblies at War: A History of the IWW and the Great War in Australia
This is a republication of Frank Cain's 1993 book of the same title. Close to a century since the rise and (pushed) fall of the Australian incarnation of the Industrial Workers of the World (the Wobblies), it is an apt time for the book's reprint. In Australia, the Wobbly movement burned as fiercely as anywhere. This book is a very readable overview of an important movement in Australian history and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in the IWW or early 20th century Australia.
While the timing of the re-release is fitting, it is perhaps a missed opportunity. Since the book's first publication almost a quarter of a century ago, there has been some important scholarship on the IWW, both in Australia and internationally. Knowledge of the Australian IWW's deep rural roots, its maritime activities, its transnational links, its social basis have all been added to in that time, but the most recent secondary source cited in the book is dated 1988.
The book could have investigated some questions that were not thoroughly explored in the 1993 edition. What gave rise to such support for the IWW in Australia? What kind of lives did Wobblies live? What did they do for work? For a movement that so thoroughly rejected reliance on 'leaders', could we have learned more about the lives of some of the Wobblies other than the prominent (largely foreign) leaders like Tom Barker, JB King and Tom Glynn? These men were important to the story, but were they really typical of the Australian Wobbly? As a movement that had its origins in the United States, did the Australian incarnation of the IWW show any notable differences?
Something Cain does very effectively, however, is document clearly the legislative, judicial and intelligence onslaught against the IWW during the war that killed it off prematurely, in an organisational sense at least. Billy Hughes argued the IWW needed to be attacked 'with the ferocity of a Bengal tiger', and this was not an empty threat. Australia's infant military intelligence, short of German spies to track, turned their full attention to the IWW.
That we know so much about the Wobblies is partly because the state monitored them so effectively, including intercepting correspondence. This activity is also effectively explored in another of Cain's works, The Origins of Political Surveillance in Australia (1983), which should be required reading at this time of mass electronic surveillance that would make the Stasi blush. Perhaps you could re-issue that book too, Frank!
The war provided the climate for this to happen. But despite the book's sub-title, the war is not the central focus of the book, though it does receive attention. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as the Wobblies' attitude to the war and the conscription debate particularly is, erroneously, what they are remembered for in Australia. Yes, the Australia IWW opposed the war, with scathing criticisms of its architects. But opposition to the war was never its raison d'être. For the Wobblies, what mattered above all was the economic struggle, the wage slaves versus the boss class. The fact has largely been forgotten, but the IWW in America was split on whether to oppose US involvement in World War I, with many American Wobblies feeling such opposition would distract from their core message.
Mount Morgan miners, 1903 (Bonzle/Queensland/QldPics)
The IWW focussed on the economic struggle for a reason, a reason summed up in their 1917 assessment of Mount Morgan, Queensland, where a number of Wobblies worked in the gold mines:
Fat only makes about three quarters of a million a year out of the hides and muscle and sinew of the wage workers of that town. Every quid is a tragedy, a tragedy of broken bodies, and crushed limbs, of miners' complaint, and of young and vigorous manhood murdered by the plundering profit-ghouls, at the portals of manhood. Mount Morgan is hell. It is hell so that Park Lane may be heaven.
The Wobbly focus on economic struggle did not spring from theory or abstraction. It sprang from lived experience. That experience was toiling down a mine, toiling over sheep, toiling with railway sleepers. Such toil did not lead to any great amount of thought about race or gender, as later comfortable-class thinkers have liked to pretend. Rather, such toil led to one question above all: why should Mount Morgan be hell?

Home News Long Shots: Durham Activist Lamont Lilly Runs for Veep on the World Workers Party Ticket
Long Shots: Durham Activist Lamont Lilly Runs for Veep on the World Workers Party Ticket
by David Hudnall
Photo by Alex Boerner
Lamont Lilly
Lamont Lilly talks with author Toni Tipton-Martin at the Center for Documentary Studies in Durham.
It was Saturday afternoon, September 24, four days after police shot and killed forty-three-year-old Keith Lamont Scott, and three days after Justin Carr, twenty-six, was shot and killed while protesting Scott's death. In downtown Charlotte, helicopters circled overhead. National Guard soldiers in camo gear stood watch near the entrances of tall buildings in the emptied-out business district. It was hot and bright out, and in Marshall Park, a peaceful protest was in full swing. A small stage had been erected. There was spoken-word poetry. There was conscious hip-hop. There were speeches about civil rights, police brutality, and the assault on America's working class.
It was all right in Lamont Lilly's wheelhouse.
Lilly initially wasn't sure he was going to make it to Charlotte. The Workers World Party, the party that has nominated him for vice president of the United States, had planned to hold a daylong conference on socialism in Durham that Saturday. (Full title: "Hard Times Are Fighting Times: Building the Movement for Liberation, Revolution, and Socialism in the South.") Lilly, who lives in Durham, was one of the featured speakers. But after the tension and the teargas on Wednesday, the decision was made to organize a caravan to Charlotte. Political theory could wait. This was a time for action.
"We've got another brother down, and it's happened just two hours away," Lilly told me that Thursday. "So fuck the conference. We're freedom fighters. We're revolutionary-minded people. It's not a hard decision. We need to be in the street with our comrades right now."
And so Lilly got his turn to address the crowd. He'd recently returned from the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, in North Dakota, where he'd joined protesters opposing the construction of an oil pipeline across the upper Midwest.
"Much love to the indigenous peoples I met up in Standing Rock, who taught me so much and elevated my consciousness and my spirit," he said. "These are people that have been fighting against colonialism and white supremacy for the last five hundred years. And we bring them here with us today in love and resistance and solidarity and self-determination. We have to learn to connect Black Lives Matter with Standing Rock, the Palestinian resistance with the Latino movement."
He went on: "We have to connect all oppressed communities together in order to defeat this wicked system: the state, white supremacy, racism, and also, what?"
The crowd responded in shouted unison: "Capitalism!"
[page]
The Workers World Party, founded in 1959, is a Marxist and Leninist revolutionary socialist party that believes, according to its literature, that "through global unity and solidarity of people's movements against imperialism, capitalist exploitation, racism and all other forms of oppression, a new world can be created: a socialist order."
Historically, the group has supported radical activist groups like the Black Panthers and the Weather Underground, and was an early advocate in the struggle for gay rights. Today, its causes include Black Lives Matter, opposition to the deportation of immigrants, and the discontinuation of United States imperialism.
"We believe the capitalist system can't be reformed," Lilly told me one morning in mid-October at Madhatter Bakeshop and Cafe in Durham, "and revolutionary socialism is the only way to dismantle and replace that system."
Lilly, dressed in a tweed cap and a white short-sleeve shirt buttoned up high, was seated at a table with his laptop, a copy of Writing on the Wall: Selected Prison Writings of Mumia Abu-Jamal, and a couple hundred pages of a marked-up manuscripta rough draft of his first book, Lilly said.
The book, which Lilly intends to self-publish, will be a compilation of his writings between 2012 and 2016, years in which he emerged as a writer and activist in Durham. His byline has appeared in the Triangle Free Press (where he was a contributing editor until this year), Counterpunch, and in guest columns for The Durham News, The Herald-Sun, and Triangle Tribune. (In 2015, the INDY gave Lilly a Citizen Award for his work in the community.)
Lilly took a roundabout path to journalism and activism. The son of a military serviceman, he arrived in Durham from Fayetteville in 1998 to attend N.C. Central University. (Lilly was also in the U.S. Army Reserves, stationed at Fort Bragg, during this time. He was honorably discharged in 2001. "My anti-imperialist views don't come from a blind perspective," he explains.)
After graduating with a degree in criminal justice, Lilly found work mentoring young black males through a federally funded youth program at NCCU. He went on to seek a graduate degree in sociology, which he abandoned, he said, because it seemed to be only taking him further away from the community-based work in which he found fulfillment.
"When you work with families, you see how poor everyone is, you see the school-to-prison pipeline, you see police brutality," Lilly says. "You see all these things up close. I started to really question why this is our reality. And that led naturally to journalism: I was seeing these things going on in the community that were not being talked about, not being covered, and I wanted to raise awareness of them."
When Lewis Little, a nineteen-year-old NCCU student, was incarcerated for one month over a murder he didn't commit, Lilly told Little's story and called out the Durham Police Department. When seventeen-year-old Jesus Huerta died of a gunshot wound while handcuffed in a police squad car, Lilly wrote articles questioning the cops' account.
"I found I could use my pen as a counter to the mainstream media narrative that never holds the police power structure or political officials responsible," Lilly says.
The murder of Trayvon Martin, in 2012, propelled Lilly to start speaking out at community protests, which led to community organizing and talks in other cities. He found he had a voice not just as a writer but as a speaker. Monica Moorehead, Lilly's running mate, says she first encountered Lilly sometime around 2012.
"He joined the party, and it was clear that he was not only very political and class-conscious about oppressed people everywhere, but also very much in tune with younger generations," Moorehead says. "I'm in my middle sixties. He's in his late thirties, but he relates to people much younger than him. He's very immersed in art and culturehe understands how those things can be used as a weapon and a voice for social change.
"Also," Moorehead continues, "he's from the South, like meI live in New Jersey now, but I'm from Tuscaloosa. So I think we both very much connected about our Southern upbringings, the fight against racism in the South. I've learned a lot from him. I very much expect him to be a very real force for revolutionary socialism moving forward."
Running for vice president on the WWP ticket much more closely resembles a punk band's DIY tour than it does the billion-dollar campaigns being waged by Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The budget is tight. A hotel room is a splurge. Mostly, it's speaking to small crowds and sleeping on couches, often in cities where voters can't easily vote for WWP candidates.
"It costs an absurd amount of money just to get on the ballot in most states," Lilly says. (Unless you live in Wisconsin, Utah, New Jersey, or Texas, you'll have to write in your vote for Moorehead and Lilly.) "We don't have the big-business engine behind us pushing out our message and our candidates. We don't own the TV and radio stations or the newspapers. This two-party system is designed to prevent third parties from gaining footing."
Travel is limited. The party has a small budget that mostly comes from online donations. Occasionally, at a campaign event, somebody will cut a check for a few hundred bucks. "That's a big deal to us," Lilly says. "For Democrats, two hundred dollars is chump change. To us, we can really put that to work. That's two train tickets for the candidates. That allows us to eat while we're on the trail."
This summer, in addition to Standing Rock, Lilly attended both the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention to speak and stage protests, and the week before I met him at Madhatter, he'd been out on the West Coast. He'd guested on Mutiny Radio, a community radio program in San Francisco; spoken about community cop-watches "with some Chicano sisters in San Diego"; and, in Los Angeles, attended a fiftieth-anniversary celebration for the Black Panthers.
"It was a real honor to be in the room," Lilly says. "Everybody knows about Kathleen Cleaver and Bobby Seale, but these were folks who aren't as esteemed or well-known, telling old stories and putting them in the new context of what's going on today. It was an awesome experience."
In the days before the election, Lilly will travel to Baltimore, followed by Philadelphia and then Detroit.
"The more places I go, the more I see that people out there are really ready for something new," Lilly told me. "And not some new cliché, like Obama. I mean a brand new system. We're up against these huge, elite corporations that don't care about us. They don't care about working people. They don't care about our ability to pay for decent housing, or our right to livable wages, or our right to be members of unions, or our right to drink clean water, whether here or in Detroit ..."
A Madhatter barista slipped into the booth beside Lilly with a video queued up on his iPhone. "Here, watch this," he said.
It was a CNN clip from the RNC. The camera pans across a crowd of protesters, and there's Lilly, on the front lines, shouting.
"I was watching TV and I was like, I know that guy, he comes into the cafe," the barista said.
"That's crazy, man," Lilly replied. They had a laugh and the barista returned to work. "Durham, man," Lilly said. "I miss being here."

India eases visa restrictions for Pakistan
Tourists and business visitors to travel more freely, in a sign of warming relations between the neighbours.
Pakistani tourists and business travellers will soon be able to visit India without many of the restrictions placed upon them in recent years.
The easing of the restrictions comes as Rehman Malik, Pakistan's interior minister, visits New Delhi to ratify a new visa agreement between the two countries.
Malik's three-day trip - his first official visit to India - is aimed at boosting trade and business relations between the South Asian rivals, and heralds the most significant changes to visa rules since 1974.
Pakistani musician Ali Hamza told Al Jazeera that a violent minority had spoiled relations between the two nations.
"I'm really hoping that it becomes easier, as in like, we don't have to work that hard to get our visas processed," he said.
"Obviously I understand there are issues, there is a situation. There is a security situation with Pakistan, there are elements that have totally ruined the name of our country, but there are most other elements that really deserve to come."
Easing of restrictions
Analyst Sushant Sareen talks to Al Jazeera
Tourists will now be allowed to visit five cities in India, instead of being restricted to three, as in previous years. Business travellers will be allowed to visit between five and 10 cities, depending on their business revenue.
Elderly visitors, traders and young children will also be exempted from reporting to police stations during their trip.
Flights between Islamabad and New Delhi are to be resumed, as are ferry services between Karachi and Mumbai - the Indian financial capital hit by the 2008 massacre, in which 166 people were killed by Pakistani gunmen reported to be members of Lashkar-e-Taiba - designated as a "terrorist" group by several nations.
That attack is expected to feature in this week's talks, with voice samples of the attackers' alleged handlers and the custody of alleged LeT founder Hafeez Saeed issues of contention, reported India's Zee News.
Yet addressing these tensions may be beyond the capabilities of those attending this summit.
"Mr Rehman Malik is a bit of a lame duck at the moment, with Pakistani elections coming up in the next couple of months," said Sushant Sareen, a consultant for the Pakistan Project at the Institute for Defense Studies and Analyses.
"So we can't really expect them to deliver on all those things that India wants satisfaction on. It will be a photo opportunity, the [visa] agreement...will be ratified and operationalised, and that's where things will end."
Details emerge
Under the new agreement, Pakistani tourist groups of 10 to 50 people will be allowed 30-day visas through tour operators approved by the Indian government. Other tourists will be allowed to stay for up to six months, as long as an official request is filed before the three-month point of the visit.
Business visitors with an annual income of at least $5,120 or a turnover or $30,700 will be granted a multiple-entry visa for five cities, reported Pakistan's Dawn newspaper. Business visitors with over $51,200 in yearly income or $3.1m in turnover would be able to get a one-year multiple-entry visa for up to 10 cities.
The deal's ratification comes as Indian officials attempt to entice international business to the country after easing through a parliamentary vote to introduce foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail.
Finance minister Palaniappan Chidambaram also hinted that further economic reform measures would emerge in the coming weeks.

I've been happily surprised that he's been growing a pair of journalistic cajones of late. Maybe that interview with Jon Stewart years ago has been slowly sinking in. Or he's been reminiscing about his father and wants to make him proud in the afterlife.

Tucker Carlson's meltdowns over Rep. Adam Schiff (D-AMERICA, YOU F***ING TRAITORS!) are becoming even less tethered to reality. Maybe his loss of advertisers has him auditioning for a spot at Breitbart or World Nut Daily.
"He has spent years obsessing over impeachment like it was a young Jodie Foster," Carlson said, referencing John Hinckley, who was infatuated with the actress and attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan to impress her.
"Colleagues say he has pictures of impeachment taped to the walls of his bedroom," Carlson continued. "He's believed to have written it steamy unhinged letters with his own body fluids. So, for Schiff, today's vote was thrilling, in ways that only a court-appointed psychiatrist could fully appreciate."
After turning the ick factor all the way up to eleven, Carlson then played a clip of Schiff plainly stating that the House vote was a "solemn day" and that House Democrats took "no joy" in moving down this road. Carlson said Schiff was just pretending that "it was not the happiest day" of his life.
"'We take no joy in this,'" Carlson scoffed. "Of all the many lies told at public expense in Washington, D.C., and there are many, that might be the most hilariously brazen of all in at least a generation, for those of you keeping track at home. In fact, for Democrats, impeachment is like winning the lotto on Christmas."
Oh, Faux! Once again you trot out your monkeys to put on a show for even dumber monkeys. (Usual apologies to monkeys.)
On Wednesday night, Fox News personalities Laura Ingraham and Raymond Arroyo tried to downplay the magnitude of the open impeachment investigation hearing by making fun of Ukraine diplomat George Kent's looks and…how much water he drank.
"Well whomever he looked like, he drank a lot of water, Laura," Arroyo said while shaking his head. "I mean, fish are not this hydrated.
"Look, he's always taking-look, throughout the hearing, took slugs from this thing," he continued over footage of Kent sipping from his Nalgene.
"What is this? Is he on the treadmill?" Ingraham asked. "What is this with the water bottle? Do you guys see that?"
"It's amazing," Arroyo commented. "It's like a medical-sized water tower. It's a water silo."
"I though he had hit an oxygen chamber or something," Ingraham said.
And then they whine when they say people don't take them seriously. DUH!

President Donald Trump lambasted Fox News' Chris Wallace on Sunday hours after the veteran journalist subjected Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) to a thorny line of questioning about the House's ongoing impeachment inquiry.
The president tweeted that Scalise, one of his loudest cheerleaders in Congress, "blew the nasty & obnoxious Chris Wallace ... away" during his appearance on "Fox News Sunday."
"This kind of dumb and unfair interview would never have happened in the @FoxNews past," Trump wrote, adding that Wallace "will never be his father," the late journalist Mike Wallace.
tick, tick, tick....
Rue Bella, on 17 November 2019 - 09:44 PM, said:
Ooooohhhh, yeah.
Fox News host Chris Wallace shut down House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) on Sunday when the Republican leader tried to downplay the public testimonies held last week that detailed President Donald Trump's Ukraine scheme.
Scalise argued on "Fox News Sunday" that the testimonies of diplomats Bill Taylor, George Kent, and Marie Yovanovitch did not prove Trump had not committed an impeachable offense when he withheld military aid to Ukraine in order to push the Ukrainian government to investigate Joe Biden.
"All three of them were asked by–whether it was John Ratcliffe or whether it was Chris Stewart–all three of them were asked: Did you see any impeachable offenses? Did you see any bribery? Any of that? Not one of those things were mentioned," Scalise said. "Not one person said they saw a crime committed."
"Sir, with all due respect, that very badly mischaracterizes what they said," Wallace responded.
"They were asked–William Taylor, for instance, the acting Ambassador to Ukraine, was asked whether or not these were impeachable offenses. He said 'I'm there as a fact witness, I'm not there to pass judgment,'" the Fox host continued. "But he made it clear what he thought about what the President was doing."
Wallace proceeded to play a clip of Taylor's testimony in which the diplomat described Trump's scheme as "illogical" and "crazy."
I'm starting to wonder if Chris Wallace is angling for a big fat payout and a better job elsewhere.
During the first break in Wednesday's impeachment hearings—which featured U.S. Ambassador to the EU and million-dollar Trump donor Gordon Sondland implicating President Donald Trump in a quid pro quo with Ukraine—Fox News anchor Chris Wallace declared that Sondland "took out the bus and ran it over" President Donald Trump and a number of his allies and aides.
"I think what Gordon Sondland was trying to do here is protect himself more than he is to protect anybody else," Wallace said during Fox News' special coverage.
"To a certain degree, he took out the bus and ran over President Trump, Vice President Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, Rudy Giuliani, Mick Mulvaney," he added. "He implicates all of them."
Besides roundly trashing Trump and Giuliani, the president's personal attorney, throughout his testimony, Sondland also took aim at the State Department for not offering up any objection to Trumpworld's efforts to pressure Ukraine to commit to investigations into the president's political rivals.
"And one of the things, it pains [Sondland] to say, this wasn't a rogue operation," Wallace explained. "I wasn't a freelancer. Everybody knew. Everybody was in the loop on this."
While Wallace pointed out that Sondland relayed that Trump did not specifically tell him that military aid and a White House meeting were being held up in return for a public announcement of the investigations, "he certainly makes it clear that in the direct conversations he has with the president he saw a conditionality here."
Faux News had a black Democratic guest on to talk about Michelle Obama's non-existent plans to run for president. They got more than they bargained for as he brought up white supremacist Tucker Carlson calling white supremacy a hoax, exactly what you'd expect a white supremacist to call it.
Democratic National Committee Vice Chairman Michael Blake tore into Fox News and host Tucker Carlson during a Tuesday morning Fox News interview, directly asking anchor Bill Hemmer why the network still employs Carlson following his infamous claim that white supremacy is a "hoax."
Brought on to discuss Carlson's Monday night prediction that former first lady Michelle Obama will eventually be the Democratic presidential nominee, Blake took the opportunity to hijack the goofy premise and blast both the network and Carlson.
"She is not running," he asserted. "But the core question is why the hell does Tucker Carlson still have a job here in the first place? The reality is this is someone who said white supremacy is a hoax and why does Fox allow him to still be here in the first place?"
Earlier this year and mere days after a white supremacist deliberately targeted Mexicans in the El Paso mass shooting that left 22 dead, Carlson took to his primetime show to claim white supremacy is "not a real problem" and a "hoax," prompting calls for his firing.
Hemmer, meanwhile, attempted to plow through, asking Blake to respond to Carlson's opinion about Mrs. Obama throwing her hat in the ring while ignoring the New York assemblyman's criticisms.
"Not gonna happen," Blake said about Obama running, before adding: "But I think the core question is he shouldn't be on here at all."
"We get it," Hemmer snapped back. "We didn't bring you on to talk about Tucker Carlson but to talk about the Democratic field."
They would go on to talk about the presidential race for the next couple of minutes. The fireworks, however, were not completely over. After Blake took another shot at the network over its rhetoric and coverage, Hemmer stopped him short.
"I didn't bring you on to bash our network," the Fox anchor seethed. "With all due respect, why don't we keep it on topic?"
"But it's relevant," Blake retorted.
"No it's not," Hemmer fumed. "It is not relevant to the conversation we're having. Save it for later."
Fair and balanced...
White supremacist Putin puffer Tucker Carlson blurts out a steaming pile of disproven lies (usual crap about Biden corruption) but in the heat of the moment accidentally drops a kernel of truth; he doesn't give a shit about Ukraine and backs the Russians in their fight with them. I guess somebody at Faux News with better radar got to him before the end of the program at which point he tried the desperate "it was a joke" ploy.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson openly said on Monday night that he is rooting for Russia in its armed conflict with Ukraine, only to walk it back at the end of the broadcast and say "of course, I'm joking."
Discussing the impeachment inquiry with former Hillary Clinton adviser Richard Goodstein, the Tucker Carlson Tonight host first insisted that support for impeachment is cratering due to the findings of a single poll.
This prompted Goodstein to note that President Donald Trump's approval rating is dropping in a GOP-friendly poll while pointing out that 70 percent of respondents in a recent Washington Post survey felt the president did something wrong in the Ukraine scandal.
Carlson, meanwhile, quickly changed the subject to the unsubstantiated allegations that former Vice President Joe Biden and his son were involved in wrongdoing and corruption in Ukraine.
"Trump is being impeached for asking about it. Do you think that's a little bit weird? Is it your classic case of sort of missing the thread in Washington?" Carlson exclaimed, laughing wildly. "There is open corruption and the guy who points it out is punished."
Carlson would go on to dismiss concerns over Trump pressuring the Ukrainian president to announce an investigation into his domestic political rivals by dangling military funding, wondering why it was something we should care about.
"Because people are dying on the front lines," Goodstein exclaimed. Carlson, who has been a vocal skeptic that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and has repeatedly called the Russia investigation a "hoax," quickly interrupted.
"Why do I care what is going on in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia?!" Carlson shouted without a hint of irony. "And I'm serious. Why do I care? Why shouldn't I root for Russia? Which I am."
The Fox News host would continue to mock Goodstein for expressing concern and alarm over Russia, repeatedly saying he doesn't care what the country does or whether it attacks other nations.
At the very end of his broadcast and after his comments had already made waves on social media, Carlson insisted that this was all just a joke that went over everyone's heads.
"Before we go, earlier in the show I noted I was rooting for Russia in the contest between Russia and Ukraine," he said, "Of course, I'm joking. I'm only rooting for America—mocking the obsession many on the left have. Ha!"
Fellow Fox News star Sean Hannity, meanwhile, also helped Carlson sell his claim that he was merely joking with his Russia comment. During the handoff between their shows, Hannity quipped that "Tucker's a communist," prompting Carlson to smack his desk and break out into a giggling fit.
"I rooted against Russia when it mattered by the way! Russia!!!" Carlson cackled.
Man, this guy is a serious piece of traitorous shit. Which, looking at his performance, is ironic since he's clearly losing his shit. As the mask of semi-respectability he used to have has dropped to somewhere around his ankles he must be feeling like a victim. No shock there. It's what right-wingers do. Playing the victim is in their DNA.
No shock there. It's what right-wingers do. Playing the victim is in their DNA.
Well of COURSE he's a victim. He's a wealthy white male, perhaps even Christian as well. He is in THE most persecuted group of people in America. Even more so if he owns a gun.
People like Tucker should have a good Navy Seal like Eddie Gallagher protecting him from all of the Antifa, Black Lives Matter activists, and demonic anti-gun homosexuals that want to harm him. If taxes have to increase on the poor and middle class to pay for it, so be it.
Vox has a piece on Tucker Carlson and who/what he represents on the right. The first part is all about his "joke" comment about rooting for the thugocracy of Russia in it's attack on the Ukrainian democracy. (That joke defense is in itself just a bad joke.)
Basically the GOP has now become the anti-democracy party. We've discussed this before. Democracy hasn't handed them everything they demand so now they want a strongman ... as long as it's their strongman, of course. And when they don't get it (see Obama years) they screech "TYRANNY!!!" These people simply hate America as it was created and want to burn it down to a pile of ashes that they alone rule.
It should be noted that Carlson's comments about Russia weren't the only time on Monday's broadcast that he defended an authoritarian leader. During a segment immediately following his discussion with Goodstein, Carlson defended Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad by questioning whether he was really responsible for committing war crimes against his own people — a position at odds with a mountain of evidence indicating that Assad is in fact responsible.
As former Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub noted in response to Carlson's comments on Tuesday morning, his open rooting for Russia and defense of Assad alludes to a deep fault line below the surface of modern politics. In the Trump era, it's not so much liberals versus conservatives, but those who believe in democracy versus those who are, at best, indifferent about Putin-style authoritarianism.
I have to disagree with this line, though. This isn't necessarily "in service of Trump." This is who Carlson is. It's who he's always been though he used to mask it better. The fact that his anti-democratic world view aligns with Trump is just swampy serendipity.
Carlson, of course, has a long history of being criticized for promoting white nationalism, Islamophobia, sexism, and lies in service of Trump.
Nice comparison of two state propaganda outlets.
PunditFact, a segment of PolitiFact, has rated 176 statements made on Faux News. 60% come in at Most False (38), False (50), or Pants on Fire (17). Only 38% rank as True (18) or Mostly True(20). They remain fairly imbalanced. The dreaded fake news factory CNN? Not even close.

Laura Ingraham is cashing in on some free grift! Sheep gotta' be sheared.
Before hosting a Fox News primetime show, Laura Ingraham was a famous radio host, often referred to as "the most-listened-to woman in America on political talk radio." But late last year, citing "family life," the conservative pundit dropped her three-hour-long daily show for a podcast.
A year later, that podcast seems to have quietly disappeared. But Ingraham is still charging listeners for it.
Upon launch, the podcast—produced by PodcastOne, a division of Courtside Entertainment Group, which had aired her radio show since 2013—was set to broadcast three times a week and the show's description leaned heavily into Ingraham's status as a conservative talk-radio icon: "You loved her hugely successful radio show and now you can join Laura Ingraham three days a week as she covers politics, pop culture and media bias. And don't worry—as always, she'll still bring you hard-hitting guests and take your calls."
Nine months into the show's existence, Ingraham's podcast schedule began to slow down: Her broadcast on Sept. 30, featuring former House Speaker Newt Gingrich discussing impeachment, appears to have been her final one.
And yet, on her official website, Ingraham has continued advertising and selling auto-renewable $49.95/year subscriptions for a podcast that apparently no longer exists.
A source close to Ingraham told The Daily Beast in mid-October that they were informed an announcement about the podcast was imminent and that the show would be "coming back." However, weeks later, no such announcement has been made. It is now more than two months since the last new episode.
Ingraham and her podcast's executive producer did not respond to The Daily Beast's multiple requests for comment.
Journalist Molly Jong-Fast, who was widely praised for her interview of Lisa Page, decided to explore Kilmeade's comments.
"What's the dumbest thing Brian Kilmeade has ever said?" she asked on Twitter.
Some of the comments are great. This link listed a number of his most cringe worthy moments.
A Faux News nutter made the claim that female journalists sleep with sources "all the time" to get stories. Once again the sexual and relationship immaturity of the Faux News audience rears its ugly head. It's propaganda for aged adolescents.
Right-wing director Clint Eastwood has come under outrage after his new movie, Richard Jewell, falsely depicts the late Atlanta reporter Kathy Scruggs having sex with a source to get a scoop.
But on Wednesday's edition of Fox News' "The Five," co-host Jesse Watters defended Eastwood, arguing that women reporters do in fact frequently sleep around to get stories — and all but one of the examples he cited were fictional characters.
"Just as an example, this happens all the time," said Watters. "Ali Watkins was a reporter for many, many years, in many distinguished publications. She slept with one of her sources, allegedly, for four years, and broke a lot of scoops according to this Politico report here. So it happens a lot, and it happens a lot in movies and TV shows. Just to list right here, Fletch, Thank You For Smoking, Top Five, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, I mean it's all over Hollywood now. They have a problem with the Clint Eastwood movie? Come on."
"And by the way, how has someone not made a movie in Hollywood about all this deep state garbage going on in the Trump campaign?" he added to general laughter.
Fox News has been plagued with numerous scandals around sexual harassment of their female reporters, including allegations against Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly, and Eric Bolling, and more recently a lawsuit filed against the network by reporter Britt McHenry alleging sexual harassment by co-host Tyrus.

Bon Iver has launched a contest inviting fans and haters alike to remix its latest record, the creatively titled Bon Iver. In collaboration with Spotify and Indaba Music, the Stems Project allows interested parties to take the individual audio tracks from the record and re-work them. Finally, the world will have the trance remix of "Holocene" it's been waiting for.
There's a separate contest for each song on the record, and all submitted remixes will be put up for public vote on Indaba Music. After tallying the numbers, Bon Iver will decide the final winners, each of whom will receive $1000. The 10 winning tracks will then be assembled into a complete album and released on Spotify.
Members of Bon Iver have already been fooling around with the tracks and making their own mixes. Drummer S. Carey's new version of "Minnesota, WI," for example, is somehow more delicate and hypnotic than the original.
