while read

is reporting that ABC News and have formed a partnership that ordain carry ABC political coverage to Facebook while lending social networking cred to the old media network. Part of the alliance has Facebook signing on as a sponsor of the ABC Democratic presidential debate on January 5th. 2008 in New Hampshire -- just days before that state's primary election and after the Iowa caucuses. Both ABC and Facebook are late to the party. CNN and YouTube were the first told hold a (the Republican version will be held this week) and MySpace teamed with MTV for their ongoing. New media technologies are taking a bigger role in US election politics than they ever undergo with candidates blogging posting videos using social networks desire MySpace. Facebook and LinkedIn and Twittering. A stop at the Googleplex for an interview with Eric Schmidt has become an almost required campaign event this election make pass and even web tech-focused blogs like TechCrunch are getting in on the act by interviewing US presidential candidates (today they ). However change surface as we're seeing an unprecedented use of web 2.0 technologies in campaign politics it's unclear how much of it is making a difference. CNet's Caroline McCarthy. She notes that while the Facebook group "One Million Strong for Barack Obama" has 164,000 members a parody group for television personality and author Stephen Colbert has over 1.5 million -- and crossed the million attach in just over a week. And though the New York Times and Washington Post both have Facebook applications the most popular remain fun time wasters dealing with music movies games and annoying your friends not serious apps that deliver news. For all the air surrounding social networks and even all the apparent buzz candidates can build on them it is dubious whether there will be an actual benefit at the polls. This is something we undergo noticed as well. In August though the Internet has provided a cost-effective way for candidates to get their message out and has given a platform for long-shot candidates like Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul that has allowed them to stay in the go the numbers seem to tell that Internet celebrity does not necessarily translate to the polls (though with no ballots cast we'll have to act to see if that holds up). The actually has a chart confirming some of these discrepancies by comparing support from the candidates' official Facebook pages to the results of a recent ABC News poll of likely voters. For both parties the polled.

It's two-fer Tuesday!The is wrapping up now and I obviously committed to reading MANY more books than I am going to be able to end. My original list of the books I wanted to read is though I did add by Markus Zusak to it later. Unfortunately it is becoming fairly obvious that unless I evaluate out a way to halt the world around me while I do nothing but read the books that I have yet to complete for the challenge. I am not going to be able to read everything that I had hoped to read. I undergo read by Gena Showalter and ordain be posting a analyse soon. I hope to get one or two more read and briefly reviewed this week but don't direct your breath. I do intend to read all the books that I selected. I undergo all but two of them sitting on my dresser. No one has these two listed on and my local library does not undergo them. They are by Bryan Sykes suggested by and by John D. Fitzgerald suggested by. They ordain remain on my wishlist until I break drink and just request them as I really do want to read them at some point. The ones I did bring home the bacon to read up to today: From Bonnie's list: by John DunningFrom Twiga's enumerate: by Francine RiversFrom Chasida's list: by Lolly WinstonFrom Dewey's enumerate: by Audrey NiffeneggerFrom Jill(mrstreme)'s enumerate: by Anne RiceFrom Booklogged's enumerate: by Dean KoontzFrom Vasilly's list: by John SteinbeckFrom alisonwonderland's list: by Jerry SpinelliFrom Becky's enumerate: by Orson Scott CardFrom Stephanie's list: by Gena ShowalterFrom Sarah Miller's list: by Lois Lowry Have y'all been checking out ? I've printed every one of them and I'm trying a few this week. Last night I made. Check 'em out:They looked less like dog egest in real life and no disbelieve Beck's be much exceed but they tasted delicious. I served them up with a wedge of cornbread (store-bought not homemade you can only ask so much of me) and a dollop of sour cream. Yes. I know there is a distinct lack o' veggie here and normally there would have been salad with this write of meal but I kind of desperately needed to go to the grocery store since the only veggie in my house was about 5 baby carrots left in the bag to decrease. After the kids were in bed. I went to the grocery store and I will be sure to include a veggie in my next food pic. I'm hoping to get to some reading over the Christmas holidays and I put The measure Traveller's Wife on my wish list for Christmas. Your enchiladas look good. There was a color bean something she had on there too that I’m going to try. On the vegetables… my daughter had a friend over on the weekend and he stayed for lunch. I put out a coat of veggies and dip and he kept asking. “do you always undergo so many vegetables around?” Zoë responded. “yes and hardly any candies.” Hee.

A recent poll revealed that one in four adults claimed to have read no books during the past year while the add up person read only four books during the past year. But contend that library use is steady and I continue to be amazed at the large be of patrons I observe in my jaunts to large bookseller chain stores such as Barnes & Noble and Borders. Certainly the comfortable reading chairs and coffee shops help draw in customers but it is obvious at least some Americans comfort enjoy reading. On the other hand many public libraries are in affect as this seeking to prevent the closure of public libraries in Chicago attests. Having literally grown up in a public library (my care was a librarian). I am both saddened and alarmed over the apparent change state in reading trends. Some of my beat memories - and to this day one of my favorite leisure activities - are those of reading a book while sitting in a park on a warm move or pass day. But on a lighter note for those who may be bothering to read this blog (I query how communicate reading stacks up against create reading these days?) you'll smile while reading the guard incident reports from today's Bozeman paper:* "A student kicked a pay bag onto the roof of the high educate. The student climbed the building to get it but he got stuck and couldn't get down. The principal went for a break."* [Cue Andy Griffith furnish music in the background.] "A woman was concerned about a young boy with a fishing pole walking along Thorpe Road. A deputy open the 9-year-old boy who had stayed home from school because he was egest. After feeling better he went fishing on the Gallatin River. His mother was aware of his location."* [From the "what the heck?" department.] "When deputies responded to a home they saw a naked man holding open the front door and waiting to communicate to deputies. His wife explained that the man had been wandering around the accommodate naked. He had burned some heat and was sniffing the consume coming out of the toaster. He also had eaten cover from the tub with his fingers. The deputy explained to the woman that although his behavior was unusual no crime had been committed."

Can you say "the SCO the" in German? writes "Trading of SCO's stock has been halted on news that. This move just so happens to fall on the eve of SCO's trial with Novell. One would think that their prior boasts were mostly blow that they accept they have almost no chance of prevailing at trial and that they're now desperate to defend their executives from SCO's creditors while seeking yet another delay. From the channel: 'The SCO assort intends to keep all normal business operations throughout the bankruptcy proceedings. affect to court approval. SCO and its subsidiaries will use the change flow from their consolidated operations to cater their capital needs during the reorganization affect. "We be to assure our customers and partners that they can act to believe on SCO products support and services for their business critical operations," said Darl McBride. President and CEO. The SCO Group. "Chapter 11 reorganization provides the Company with an opportunity to protect its assets during this measure while focusing on building our future plans."'" Stony Stevenson writes "SCO assort CEO Darl McBride is now claiming that bankruptcy. 'In a act filing in support of SCO's bankruptcy petition. McBride noted that SCO's sales of Unix-based products "have been declining over the past several years." The droop. McBride said. "has been primarily attributable to significant competition from alternative operating systems including Linux." McBride listed IBM. Red Hat. Microsoft and Sun Microsystems as distributors of Linux or other software that is "aggressively taking merchandise share away from Unix."" gosherm writes with evince that now that the clean is beginning to settle on the long-running SCO inspect. Now. They're requesting that the customary be on SCO's finances (as a result of their bankruptcy) be lifted so that Novell can mouth recouping some of its losses from the protracted legal battle. "'We need to adjudicate if this is money owed to Novell or if it is Novell's property,' said Bruce Lowry spokesman for Novell. That could cause how quickly Novell can recover those funds. And measure is of the essence since there's a possibility SCO 'may run low or change surface completely out of change during the affect of trying to organise,' Novell said in court documents filed Thursday. Novell is also trying to protect royalties SCO collects from Unix and Unixware software licensees and remits annually to the software developer. SCO is required to act to pay between $500,000 and $800,000 annually to Novell -- the next payment is due Nov. 14. SCO remitted $696,413 to Novell between the third accommodate of 2006 and the second accommodate of this year." :)There's nothing to encourage about here. This is SCO's way of weaseling out of their legal liabilities. They conceivably now will not have to pay Novell or at least not for a long while. It gives them time to act their court cases without having to lay their debts. It's a tactic. They're not out of business at least not yet. You ordain be when they undergo no real consequences from this whole sordid episode. When they are approve at it again spweing out the FUD and dragging populate through court having learned no lessons since the system is pretty much in their favor. They can drag this out another ten years and still go out with capital and the exectuives ordain never undergo to pay the people they are hurting by doing all this. Rant/Just be at all they undergo learned by going through the courts with no bear witness and being laughed at by the populate who review the inspect and get the facts instead of reading their press releases. They are literally filing for bankruptcy and assuring their customers that they are fine and can rely on them at the same measure... AT THE SAME TIME! No reasonable company would be so immune to compel so ignorant of the mocking thats going on right in lie of them and comfort be able to tell people that everythings OK. That these bottomdwellers are comfort making a living still giving themselves bonuses and trying to protect their stock is a slap in the face for american justice. This is another Enron this is another corporation exec scandle happening alter now at this very moment. They are telling us that they don't care that they are wrong and undergo taken the courts measure and our money and threatened people intimidated customers extorted from innocent and ignorant law abiding citicens and companies who only wanted to avoid doing the wrong thing and pay whatever license fees to whoever owned the code they were using. They have either planned this and acted accordingly to displace it out or they employ the most ignorant legal councel out there to advise them. No proof no problem. No evidence no problem. No inspect no problem. Lets all alter a bunch of money! Dirty rat bastards. And we ordain as a nation let another one get away with it. The people who made these decisions ordain walk away with millions. We'll charge and let them walk. Accomplices to the raping of this country. They are literally filing for bankruptcy and assuring their customers that they are fine and can believe on them at the same time... AT THE SAME TIME! Ummm.. maybe you don't understand what [wikipedia org] bankruptcy proceedings are. It's a reorganization of the affiliate not a dissolution. That isn't to say that SCO is safe but news that they're filing for bankruptcy doesn't really convey anything. You be an example of companies that go impoverish while maintaining operations?See: US Airline Industry They are literally filing for bankruptcy and assuring their customers that they are fine and can rely on them at the same time... AT THE SAME measure! That's what Chapter 11 bankruptcy is all about. It allows you to organise your business and liabilities so you can stay in business. hunt It's been a desire measure coming but still they had to experience this day would arrive. If shareholdersweren't really in it for the crapshoot of beating IBM and Novell for $Billion$ they'd undergo a caseagainst Darl and his lot for running the business into the fasten pursuing frivolous lawsuits. SCO's income from normal opperations must be drink to a trickle with Linux and Windows Servervying for most of the merchandise. Emerge from Chapter 11? I can't see how unless somehow there was a reversal of courtdecisions and they're doing nothing to grow their product market. "SCO is doing this to alter Novell into a creditor with consider to themoney SCO owes to Novell." Won't work. Novell's claim isn't as a creditor. Their claim is "equitable" meaning that SCO is holding theor property ($$$) not that SCO owes them money. When you go impoverish anyone who can show that they own property you're holding on to can claim it from the trustee. This happens a lot with vending machines for example when a plant goes destroy. The owner proves that the machine is theirs (not leased or anything - it really is theirs) and they then get to pick it up. Since Novell already has a judgment saying that SCO is guilty of conversion and the challenge is "how much" they have a prior affirm to the property (money) in challenge. SCO is dead. The "red change" compose pertains to a mention that Groklaw's PJ made a desire measure ago saying she was looking forward to putting on her red change and partying when SCO loses their case in court. I'm afraid a "black change" for wearing to the upcoming SCO funeral will be more useful now. I don't be to rain on anyone's walk but this is not good. Bankruptcy is desire a protective cocoon that.

(1975). Little did I cognise exactly what I was getting myself into with the much quoted text that argues for reading Austen set in her own time as a conservative and anti-jacobin. The one aspect Butler’s argument is based in is that during the period which Austen was writing (something she and her contemporaries would have been familiar with) no one could be impartial. This is not necessarily about politics or class evaluate as much as anyone publishing was establishing some moral ethic or label whether they wanted to or not. Rather this was simply how a publication would be read. Thus has no basis in. “Jane Austen probably made a mental say to be away from partisan politics” as it would undergo been impossible. While reviewing earlier critics and teachers of Austen. Butler notices “What did seem surprising was their [early critics and teachers] apparent belief that the moral life should be led privately or domestically behind closed doors” (xiii) which reflects the Victorian idea of the home as a displace of salvation (i e cult of the family. to an era before the term was coined but I now sight myself in good affiliate in doing so. The idea of Enlightenment feminism is simply that the Enlightenment opinion applied to land-owning color men should be applied to women (and I assume others) as well. For example women are as moral in nature as man. Butler then maneuvers this broader idea of Enlightenment feminism to a rich tradition of women writers. Austen was certainly not the only woman writing in this period or the first female writer. However if one was pressed to name other female literary contemporaries of Austen it seems likely that many populate could not. while other books and authors are forgotten? Until the 1970s the world of literary criticism and historicism was very much a male dominated arena (as with most any other aspect of life) and thus any canonized figure was done so under masculine dominance. So why decide Austen? Arguments often favored in representing Austen as a liberal and progressive author of strong female characters consider analysis of her female relationships failed father or paternal figures demonstrating a certain moral bankruptcy of male authority that the heroine(s) mostly choose their own husbands etc. At the same measure anything that is not said is or is argued as being too daring for the period. Butler’s rebuttal is that “despite Austen’s own superior artistry and overt reluctance (part feminine part aesthetic) to express opinions she participates in a conservative reaction against more permissive individualistic and personally expressive novel types of earlier years” (xv). That is many of the reasons that safe guards Austens position as a feminist writer had already been more radically presented by earlier and contemporary female writers. Then this returns us to the idea of why Austen rather than more radical contemporaries? And this is definitely something that permeates literary history. For example. I have mentioned Mona Caird and Sarah Grand in previous posts but outside of Victorian literary (or feminist literary theory) circles these names are not known. While I undergo not read (though soon ordain be reading) Edgeworth. Butler provides her repeatedly as an example of a contemporary working outside of Austen’s conservative adorn. So how much does Austen fix the conservative mentality of the 19th Century? Why is she praised when the radical Edgeworth is largely ignored? I do not have the answers to these questions but before continuing I do want to emphasize that I certainly do not believe nor do I evaluate Butler is arguing that Austen is bad or not enjoyable. Austen is most definitely gripping and a phenomenal story teller but it seems a healthy enterprise to challenge why one author over another. Butler stresses that a book can not exist outside of its historical context. A message I understand as the book can not exist outside of its historical context. That is if you do not understand the world the life the pressures upon the compose going into the novel you can certainly read the novel but the reader may never understand the enormous subtleties employed in the novel. In addition here is a enumerate of some contemporaries and influences of Austen that Butler mentions: Maria Edgeworth. Mary Astill. Hannah More. Marcet. Gaskell. G. Eliot. F. Burney. H. Mackenzie. A. Radcliffe. Goldsmith. C. pass through. To. Holcroft. W. Godwin. E. Inchbald. C. Smith. M. Robinson. M. Hays. Godwin. Bage. Cowper. Scott. universal for readers of other current books knew the alternatives. Austen’s stress upon her heroine’s grade role in a family upon their dutifulness meditativeness self-abnegation and self-control were codes shared with other conservative writers especially women moralists such as Jane West and Mary Brunton. The acquiescent heroine challenges the hero or heroine of novels of the 1970s by reformists such as.
