Can You Trust The Media? - Mistakes and corrections
2008-04-10 20:10:00 The plan to set up a blog to record all the mistakes in CYTTM has - alas - been on the backburner (too busy).So here’s one mistake from line 16, p58 [HT: Jack Shafer].The newscaster – who doubled up as host of What’s My Line – was obliged to present the day’s stories while holding a lit cigarette.The newscaster who hosted Camel News Caravan, John Cameron Swayze, was a also a panellist on NBC’s quiz show “Who Said That?” and NOT host of CBS’s “What’s My Line?” - that was John Charles Daly Jr. who doubled as a newscaster and executive at ABC.BTW, on the day UK regulator Ofcom announced its review of public service broadcasting it’s worth recalling what Daly told Time when he got the boot from ABC in 1960: “By the old standards by which I was brought up, most of what passes for public-service programming today is nothing of the sort; I don’t know how they get away with it.”

Bonaroo State Department of Fashion Corrections
2007-07-30 17:00:00 Bonaroo is one of these shops that always wanted to write about, but never managed to... So I guess today is the day! What does Bonaroo mean really? According to the shop owners (who I trust) "the exact definition quite simply means - your best or new clothes as a prisoner, garments that you would keep in a parcel or a box in your cell, so they don't get stained, burned or used as a noose." Does this mean that the t-shirts they sell must be kept in a secure place where no one and nothing could touch them? Does it mean that these damn shirts are so special that you will wear them only in a few special occasions? Well, that's up to you to decide... OK, apart of all that Bonaroo is a relatively new place to find a bunch of smart, funny, and ironic t-shirts. I know that some of you might not like this kind of t-shirts and honestly I'm not so sure if I'd wear some of Bonaroo's t-shirts too, but check out my personal favorite from this shop, the "Get Help! I've Been Kidnapped" shirt...

Corrections & Amplifications
2007-07-12 20:05:00 Some people seem to have felt I was a little harsh on Whole Foods CEO John Mackey the other day, when I lambasted him for goading the generally toothless Federal Trade Commission into trying to block Whole Foods' merger with fellow soymilk ice cream flogger Wild Oats Markets. Sure, what Mackey did—leaving a digital paper trail a mile wide boasting how the proposed merger would permanently remove Whole Foods' only credible competitor and relieve pricing pressure in its markets—was exactly analogous to Donald Rumsfeld walking through Sadr City alone at night wearing a t-shirt reading "Moqtada is a pork-eating pussy," but I admit I did not pull any punches.Among other provocative adjectives, I variously called Mr. Mackey an idiot, a moron, a fool, and a doofus. Now, however, after reading the latest revelations of Mr. Mackey's extracurricular activities on the internet, I feel I owe you Dear Readers a clarification:John Mackey is a putz.* * *Note to Whole Foods' (abse...
My Personal Corrections or Thoughts toward ?Christianity in Four Acts?
2007-06-20 18:55:00 An atheist blogger has done their best so simplify Christianity into what they call ?Christianity in Four Acts?. As a Christian, I first ponder why the post at all. Is it to promote Christianity, mock Christianity, or simply to understand Christianity? I will assume they may actually desire to understand Christianity, so below I shall give what I believe should be the corrected ?Christianity in Four Acts? whereby I believe they erred in some of their thoughts. Please bear in mind that bringing Christianity to such a simple layer of understanding does not guarantee the full understanding of it, nor the importance of it, nor does it remove questions but actually produces more, which could be considered a good thing. To ponder the things of God is a good start.ACT IGod is indeed all-knowing, all-powerful, and everywhere present, but these are but a few of the attributes of God. God is supernatural and could be considered outside and inside natural time and space. God is the Creator of ...

Kevin Collins denied it. But he did allow that Microsoft was working with Meridian ?on the development side to bring an HD DVD player to market utilizing the Broadcom/Microsoft reference board.? That suggests Microsoft is lending its staff and expertise ? which is almost like funding the project, don?t you think?

2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Picks, Analysis, and Mock Corrections
2007-04-28 23:52:00 Here, I'm going to break down the first round in the same format as my mock draft. I'll give you the picks, some thoughts, and how my mock draft did. My Mock Draft can be located here1. Oakland Raiders - JaMarcus Russel - QBMy Pick Was- JaMarcus Russel - QBYea, I knew it. You probably knew it too. Most did.2. Detroit Lions- Calvin JohnsonMy Pick Was- Tampa Bay Buccs- Calvin Johnson - WRI knew Johnson would go #2 but I thought he would be a Buc. Oh well, I think this guy will be an all-pro reciever for the next 12 years. He's the best player in the draft and I think it was a great pick for the Lions. It's just kind of pathetic that they needed a WR after their extensive history of WR 1st round picking. I'm giving myself the benefit of the doubt.3. Cleveland Browns - Joe Thomas - OTMy pick was- Brady Quinn - QBWhen I first saw this pick I thought it was kind of foolish, even though Thomas is a great talent and totally dominates his position. However, since the Browns got their QB...

The New Asylums Redux
2006-09-08 03:33:00 There is news today of a new study about mental health problems in prison and jails. The information shows a much bigger problem than previously reported. MSNBC.com More than half of America's prison and jail inmates have symptoms of a mental health problem, the Justice Department estimated Wednesday. But fewer than one-third of those with problems are getting treatment behind bars. The study by the department's Bureau of Justice Statistics also found the incidence of symptoms much higher among women than men. Compared to inmates without symptoms, these mentally troubled prisoners were more likely to have been jailed before, to get into a fight behind bars, to have been physically or sexually abused in the past and to have drug problems, the bureau said. But troubled inmates were no more likely to have used a weapon during their offense (37 percent for troubled and nontroubled state prisoners) and only slightly more likely to have committed a violent offense (49 percent of st...

The New Asylums
2006-06-21 04:00:00 Prior to about 1960, mental ill individuals were warehoused in state funded hospitals which provided structure and asylum for people who created at least a nuisance for the community and a hardship for families and others feared. Periodic expose's about the deplorable conditions in these settings and the development of modern psychotropic medications lead to realistic alternatives in the community. Deinstitutionalization like all great policy ideas, began as a noble mission, and gradually was distorted into a means to save tax dollars. The Joint Commission on Mental Illness and Health in 1955 made several recommendations published in 1961. Several key laws followed. In 1963, Aid to the Disabled and the Community Mental Health Act provided community based treatment and support pensions for disabled created the means to pay for community based living for those who couldn't work and had no history of work to make them eligible for Social Security. Then California reformed commitment...

A "New" Approach to Prison: Rehabilitation
2006-04-22 01:42:00 The US has one of the highest rates of incarceration of any country in the world. At year end 2002, 1,440,655 prisoners were under the jurisdiction of State or Federal correctional authorities. Four years later, that number is estimated at 1.8 million. In 2001, about 592,000 State prison inmates were released to the community after serving time in prison. (DOJ). Of the more than half a million offenders released every year, nearly 70% of them return to prison within three years. In reaction to the problem of the "career criminal", the states and federal legislators passed tough new mandatory sentencing laws. The prison population as a result has grown precipitously. Now virtually every prison in the US is overcrowded. There is evidence that overcrowding "creates competition for limited resources, aggression, higher rates of illness, increased likelihood of recidivism and higher suicide rates." In addition, the cost of incarcerating an ever increasing population is skyrocketing, fo...
