Seriously. Maggie Gyllenhaal. So teachers’ unions don’t care about kids. Oh, and luck is a foxy lady. This is what I took away from the inept and bizarre “Won’t Back Down,” a set of right-wing anti-union talking points disguised (with very limited success) as a mainstream motion-picture-type product. Someone needs to launch an investigation into what combination of crimes, dares, alcoholic binges and lapses in judgment got Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal into this movie. Neither of them seems likely to sympathize with its thinly veiled labor-bashing agenda and, way more to the point, I thought they had better taste.
Perhaps that was a mistake, because the big picture is that the movie is unbelievable crap and the whole project was financed by conservative Christian billionaire Phil Anschutz, also the moneybags behind the documentary “Waiting for ‘Superman,’” which handled a similar agenda in subtler fashion. School reforms propaganda flick. The first thing to know about Friday’s opening of the school-choice drama “Won’t Back Down” is that the film’s production company specializes in children’s fantasy fare such as the “Tooth Fairy” and “Chronicles of Narnia” series.
The second thing is that this company, Walden Media, is linked at the highest levels to the real-world adult alliance of corporate and far-right ideological interest groups that constitutes the so-called education reform movement, more accurately described as the education privatization movement. Walden Media is unique in Hollywood in possessing the will and the expertise to effectively promote the cause of education reform. “Won’t Back Down” dramatizes — approvingly — the execution of “parent-trigger”-style laws that have been passed in three states and are being considered in a dozen more. These laws give parents the power to form discontented majorities and sell their local public school to private charter school companies. 33 Infomercial Characters Who Need To Get Their Shit Together.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have contributed billions of dollars toward improving health care and college education. NEW YORK (CNNMoney) To kick off the College Knowledge Challenge, which runs through November 16, the foundation is holding a day-long "hack-a-thon" at Facebook's Menlo Park, Calif. headquarters.
At the event, up to 100 entrepreneurs and programmers will work on developing tools that help teens navigate the college application and funding maze. Anyone not invited to the hack-a-thon can submit a prototype and proposal that explains how their web app will provide useful college advice or a service, said Emily Dalton Smith, the program officer for the Gates Foundation who is running the competition. "The foundation is concerned about low college attendance and graduation rates among all students," Smith said.

Ken Burns Interview on Reason TV Aggravates the Snot Out of Me - The Lab of Doom Experiment. It is not every day that some celebrity or known name totally demeans themselves in front of you, so I thought I'd share this with you guys: So, I am flipping through some YouTube channels and I see on ReasonTV, that Nick Gillespie has a multi-part interview with Ken Burns and it is irritating me. I guess part of me wanted to believe that if Ken Burns is taking interviews with Reason, a blatantly libertarian organization, that maybe he would be a little more open minded to individual rights over government mandates than one might suspect of a PBS icon.
I was wrong. If you aren't familiar with Burns, he pretty much produced the most definitive documentary on The Civil War that comes to most people's minds, all the way back in 1990. He has done some projects since then, but that is the one people know right off hand. His work is usually very interesting. Who does this? Not two minutes in, KB steps in it again and states that he doesn't know anyone who doesn't like Abraham Lincoln.
Omits and Edits. Read through a the transcript of a videotaped interview I gave to Reason Magazine, the libertarian periodical, that is timed for the release of Treme’s third season. My comments seemed disjointed, unsupported. Arguments begin and cease abruptly, unaccompanied by any supporting logic or examples. The interviewer’s comments are highlighted as punctuation, but many fundamental ideas and contentions never progress far at all. I emailed those guys, asked them if I could listen to the whole interview. They kindly agreed. Sure enough, the editing is, at points, inattentive to the task of building on or even completing a complicated argument. Not that the full interview is worth anyone’s time. If you are interested in any of the issues that are broached in this piece, there are other interviews, essays and public appearances on this website that provide cogent and more complete arguments on the subjects.
“You must have me on your show again so you can tell me more of what you think…” Ken Burns on Prohibition, Pot, and PBS. Burns: That’s not true. reason: Oh? Burns: Upwards of 40 percent of my project comes from some governmental source or another. PBS is not exactly governmental. It is actually not governmental, but it gets some money from the government, and they give us money.
Inventory: 13 Films With Wildly Mismatched Romantic Pairings | Film | Inventory. 1. Ralph Bellamy & Irene Dunne, The Awful Truth (1937); Ralph Bellamy & Rosalind Russell, His Girl Friday (1940) Poor Ralph Bellamy. He's a nice, well-intentioned guy who could probably make some woman happy, if given half the chance. But Bellamy is the archetypal example of "The Baxter," a character who exists solely as a speed bump in another couple's inevitable union. The heroine will toy with him for a while, considering the life of bland stability he has to offer, but ultimately, Bellamy is too much of a square and not nearly smart or witty enough to keep up with her. 2. Just like the pop stars of the '40s dealt with the arrival of rock 'n' roll a decade later, movie stars from Hollywood's golden age struggled to keep up in an era of mumbly Method acting. 3.

Boy meets pig. Psychiatry: An Industry of Death. Psychiatry: An Industry of Death is a museum in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA, as well as several touring exhibitions.[1] It is owned and operated by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), an anti-psychiatry organization founded by the Church of Scientology and psychiatrist Thomas Szasz. The museum is located at 6616 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California and entry to the museum is free.[2] The museum is dedicated to criticizing what it describes as "an industry driven entirely by profit" and provides "practical guidance for lawmakers, doctors, human rights advocates and private citizens to take action in their own sphere to bring psychiatry under the law.
DVD[edit] In 2006, a documentary film also called Psychiatry: An Industry of Death was released on DVD by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights. The film is 108 minutes long and is described by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights in this way: Reception[edit] Touring[edit] Exhibits at Worldcon 2006[edit] Talent Report: What Workers Want in 2012 Net Impact. 15 Things Kurt Vonnegut Said Better Than Anyone Else Ever Has Or Will | Books | Inventory. 1. "I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"The actual advice here is technically a quote from Kurt Vonnegut's "good uncle" Alex, but Vonnegut was nice enough to pass it on at speeches and in A Man Without A Country.
Though he was sometimes derided as too gloomy and cynical, Vonnegut's most resonant messages have always been hopeful in the face of almost-certain doom. And his best advice seems almost ridiculously simple: Give your own happiness a bit of brainspace. 2. "Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.

More. Limited Coverage: Climate Change and the Insurance Industry. Forecasts for more unpredictable and more extreme weather patterns have some insurers increasingly factoring climate change evidence into their actuarial tables. The insurance industry is famously, intentionally, even proudly, backward-looking: Its assessments of risk traditionally draw from data on prior losses over long periods of time. In a world of extreme weather and non-linear trends, however, the times, and with them the actuarial tables, are changing in some quarters. International insurance firms and big reinsurers like Swiss Re and Munich Re are incorporating projections for more unpredictable and extreme weather.
In addition, groups such as the U.K. -based Carbon Disclosure Project and ClimateWise are providing global leadership for the industry, encouraging responsible stewardship. Some U.S. Her firm, which has taken the lead in prodding the U.S. industry, issued a report in September 2011 on insurers’ climate policies, pointing to their “sluggish and uneven” response. Observations on Culture, Faith, Politics and the Roots of American Freedom: Systemic Racism. What is "systemic racism? " The answer is that it is a term used by those who believe the "system" is itself the cause of discrimination and racism in America. It's a sort of code word for identifying the free enterprise system and the limited government created by the Founders as being endemically corrupted by racism.
The message is that regardless of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution and regardless of legal protections against discrimination, American society, in general, is racist. In reality, "systemic racism" is a term or phrase developed to cast aspersions on all of American society and to justify tearing down long-established institutions in favor of an all-powerful government run by a select few. It is pejorative, ideological term. Ironically while the Marxists are wrong about the limited government created by our Founders and wrong about our free market system, I would argue that, in fact, there is "systemic racism" in America. This is not mythology, this is reality. Microsoft Word - CWAC minutes June 17 11 _2_.docx.
Csb_program_descriptions.pdf. My fancy bathroom floor. Look! Look! A post about something i have actually done in the house, not just am planning to do or idly dreaming about! Lack of funds and creative fussiness on both our parts led to an experimental and untested idea for our bathroom floor. there are no before photos, as for nearly four years, it was plywood painted with purple fence paint and spattered with various paints and adhesives as we very slowly made progress with the walls (unphotographable!).
Mr lc wanted a green and white tiled floor like in the crash rooms in ER, i wanted to get some kind of patterned real linoleum, so we compromised and i screen-printed the floor!! My parents had covered a kitchen table with brown grocery bags and varnished it in the past so i figured along those lines and if it didn't work i could get my linoleum. i have been using this pattern in black and white for years and we both love it, it is featured in a few places around our home already. it does look ACE though!! ACF Events. 10 Ways to Customize a Rental Bathroom.
Add storage Renovation and rental are two words that you don't hear too much in the same sentence, but even though you might not be able to completely overhaul your rental apartment, there are ways to cover up that old avocado-green tile, add storage to your small shower, or transform an ugly overhead light without making your landlord angry in the process. Add Storage: Rental bathrooms usually don't come with a lot of built-in storage, so small additions like shower caddies and wall-mounted shelves can help.
SimpleHuman makes a few different caddies and soap pumps that can be suction-cupped, tension-mounted, or silicone-glued to the wall without damaging your tile. Their products are on the expensive side, but they're well made and most of them come with 5-year warranties. Plus, their shower caddies are designed not to slip, which is often the problem with cheaper versions.
