Chicago Teacher's Union rally shows strength, desperation?
2012-05-24 17:00:00 Today’s education news is full of coverage of the CTU rally yesterday, plus some of the decisions made by the Board at its monthly meeting. What to make of the rally? I’m not sure. It obviously seemed to go off well, and the coverage was wall to wall. It was a big “get” for CTU... Read more »
U.S. Military Bows to Islam ? Again

Trying to Find a Cry of Desperation Amid the Facebook Drama
2012-02-24 04:05:00 For adolescents, Facebook and other social media have created an irresistible forum for online sharing and oversharing, so much so that endless mood-of-the-moment updates have inspired a snickering retort on T-shirts and posters: ?Face your problems, don?t Facebook them.? But specialists in adolescent medicine and mental health experts say that dark postings should not be hastily dismissed because they can serve as signs of depression and an early warning system for timely intervention. Whether therapists should engage with patients over Facebook, however, remains a matter of debate. And parents have their own conundrum: how to distinguish a teenager?s typically melodramatic mutterings - like the ?worst day of my life? rants about their ?frenemies,? academics or even cafeteria food - from a true emerging crisis.

RIM Shows Signs Of Desperation As BlackBerry Services Outage Enters Day 4
2011-10-14 13:45:00 BlackBerry users continued to experience Service blackout for the 4th Consecutive day. What started with a small technical glitch in the “Core Switch” caused massive pile-up of emails & BBM messages, which eventually had a domino-effect & crashed the servers. Though RIM’s engineers managed to bring back the service online momentarily, the backlog became simply too much for the already reeling servers & they failed again. RIM’s servers act as “intermediary agents” for all its services including, the famous BlackBerry Messenger & the Business critical PushMail! Without these servers, users across the globe do not get the near-instant email notification that has helped productivity reach a new high. On a more technical note, this is achieved, by pinging / logging in the primary email providers servers every 15 Seconds! Even the internet experienced on a BlackBerry is “funneled” through the BlackBerry Internet servers [BIS]. There is of course data optim...

Stanley Cup Finals, Game 5; Desperation Needs to be Blackhawks' Best F
2010-06-06 18:50:00 This series has been very similar to the Nashville series. The Hawk defense has been inconsistent, the offense and passing rather sporadic, and their effort flat-out questionable. Although the Flyers certainly are not the Predators, the Hawks have proven themselves to be the better team when they buckle down and play desperate.

Desperation Comes & Goes
2008-05-06 04:10:00 Walter grilled trout he’d caught that morning, and removed the heads, bones, and skin. Watching him at the grill, Evie asked if next time he could leave the head on her fish. “So while I’m chewing him, I can look him right in the eye.” [Click here to read the first episode, or here to read the previous one.] Walter laughed. “You’re like my daughter Olivia.” “People say I look like my mom.” “No one looks like your mother,” Walter said. “She’s like no one else.” “Well, me either,” Evie said. “I’m like no one else.” “That’s right. You and DeeDee, your mother, me—everyone’s different from everyone else.” After Amanda read the girls a bedtime story, she joined Walter downstairs where he had built a fire in the stone fireplace. Open on his lap was a history of some Chinese dynasty, but the fire was mesmerizing. “Was it hard when your wife took Olivia away?” Why had she asked him such a stupid question? Amanda sweltered i...
Repug Desperation Reigns In Bucks County, PA
2008-04-28 18:01:00 I really need to let everyone in on a hilarious new narrative emerging in the U.S. House 8th district contest between incumbent Dem Patrick Murphy and Repug challenger Tom Manion, and it is that, somehow, Patrick is “out of touch” with Bucks County because he supported Barack Obama, who was creamed in Bucks by Hillary Clinton last Tuesday.Just to repeat, Clinton’s triumph was owed more than anything else to Dem machine politics which worked in a state with a population that skews older versus that of the rest of the country, though as I’ve said several times from a Daily Kos post noting a poll taken right after the vote, Obama gained ground among whites 60 and older (men and women voters), those earning less than $50K, and Protestants between the Ohio and PA primaries.But those inconvenient facts aren’t stopping the Repugs from doing their little happy dance since the guy Patrick backed lost big time in Bucks (haven’t seen district-wide numbers, though), as typified in t...
Nightly Ramble:Updates, Racial ID, Desperation, and more
2008-04-01 22:22:00 Turns out that the upgrade I’m planning for this weekend, itself needed a few upgrades as a prerequisite. For example, I use an automatic upgrade package, which needed updating. All that’s been done. I must say, Wordpress is getting easier to run, anymore, despite it all. Now i we could get some utils to touch up the database… I see William “Cold Cash” Jefferson won one in his fight to stay out of jail… though he didn’t win much…James over at OTB wonders just a bit at the slow pace of this case. I tell him: You didn’t really think this was going to be allowed at front and center during an election cycle, now, did you?And I can’t help but think that his re-election and the ardent defense being put up down there is part and parcel of what we have been seeing with Obama/Wright/liberation theology, et al. There’s no doubt in my mind that Jefferson, were he white, would be smelling up a jail cell somewhere. You tell ME; How man...

Nightly Ramble: Obama’s desperation
2008-03-19 01:10:00 I’ve not turned out a single issue ramble in some months, now, Tonight seems the time. I’ll say this at the outset; I have been predisposed to not trust what Obama has to say on much of anything in general, and I found his mumbling about racism particularly unsatisfying. It would have taken rather a lot to make that last situation any worse. Today, Barrack Obama pole-vaulted over “rather a lot” into the land of the truly titanic. (Not an idly chosen word, I assure you.) First of all, he has now called his own veracity into question exactly as I suggested he would. Less than a week ago, he issued a statement saying in part that The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity or heard him utter in private conversation. On it’s face, find this utterly laughable from anyone who was not running for the highest office in our country. is there any r...

Nightly Ramble: Unification, Desperation,(Burp), Respect where it’s n
2008-02-27 23:49:00 Next time you hear from anyone about how the Democrats are uniting America, show them this. Or this. Or, this. On the other hand, there is some coming together on this issue. Seems to me this is a sure sign of Clinton campaign desperation (First story) So is this. Ya know, if the this situation were the other way around, it wouldn’t be news. David’s already mention the passing of Bill Buckley. Sorry he’s gone, but I suppose he’s not really lost given the bodyof work available to all of us on the web… a volume I expect will go up a bit now that he’s gone. Billy mentions something about him, though that irritates the both Billy and myself: “Now listen, you: stop calling me a crypto-Nazi, or I’ll sock you in your goddamned face, and you’ll stay plastered.” (Buckley, to Gore Vidal) You know, one of the things that always bored me with Buckley was the essential hypocrisy of treating disreputable sonsofbitches respectfully.

Source: WFED was D.C. United desperation option
2008-02-21 22:01:00 How did D.C. United's English language radio broadcasts get bounced to one of the lowest tier radio stations on the dial? Apparently, because former home WMET didn't want 'em.Excerpted from DCRTV mailbag:WMET was getting more per hour from their brokered programming and had to cut them loose. So DC United had to find a station that was desperate enough to take them on for a couple of hundred bucks in rights fees. The broadcast itself it worthless to WFED, MLS has all the major categories locked up, so I guess it was a marraige of desperation. Even Red Zebra turned them down.If WFED is the only answer, what in the God's name was the question? It would have been better for pride alone had DCU simply gone to an online only feed without the Bonneville entanglements. WFED might as well be an online only feed at night anyway.

Given the low regard I hold for Mikey, though, I at least have to give him credit for exercising the good judgment to sit out this election (and Manion said that he wants to now get out and talk to the voters, which is a worthy goal; however, I would have done that before I'd decided to run for office.)And this Letter to the Editor appeared in the Courier Times today?Signs have appeared recently that read: ?The Iraq War is a success. Patrick Murphy is a failure.? We cannot be certain who sponsored this exercise in double speak since those involved were ashamed to show any identif...

Cries of Desperation
2007-10-23 00:57:00 The Jihadim mouth piece Al Jazeera has an English version of the OBL's woeful plea to the survivors of the families he and his kind destroyed all in the name of the Caliphate and the 12th Imam.He blames his minions and not himself, OBL does. Sounds JUST like our very OWN Democratic Party Leadership. Never accept personal responsibility. ALWAYS bounce the blame elsewhere. Cowards act in this manner.Does the below sound familiar?..."Some of you have been lax in one duty, which is to unite your ranks," bin Laden said. "Beware of division ... The Muslim world is waiting for you to gather under one banner."...Where else have we heard similar tones?...It?s time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few by the few, and for the few. Time to reject the idea of an ?on your own? society and to replace it with a shared responsibility for shared prosperity. I prefer a ?we?re all in it together society....Words of desperation?..."The interest of the Islamic nation su...
Tuesday Morning Headlines of Desperation/Open Thread
2007-10-22 14:06:00 I cast a very wide net searching for today's headlines. A fine piece of sports journalism It's really an opinion piece from the newspaper of Western Illinois University. But they published more than the big three combined today. From the Western Courier: When I first heard he was interested in buying the Chicago Cubs from the Tribune Company, I was not very excited. Cuban's name conjures up images of his fanatic rants at Dallas Mavericks games, where he overstepped his position as owner and criticized both coaches and players. On the other hand, he has helped turn the Mavericks around from a perpetual last place team into a contender. Even though the Mavericks have not won a championship with Cuban at the helm, they have improved dramatically. After the Cubs choked in the postseason yet again, I am beginning to think Cuban is the right answer for the Northsiders. He brings passion to a team lacking just that, and aside from Big Lou, the Cubs looked dismal in the playoffs. They ...

Welcome to the Third Avenue Lofts Lock Box Rail of Desperation in Failed Fl
2007-10-02 16:04:00 Thanks Chris for sending in this great lockbox from hell picture.I KNEW I had to start HousingPANIC after seeing tiny little apartments advertised at $500,000 to $3 million. When I mean tiny, I mean as in 600 square foot studio apartments for a half mil. Seriously.Check out this 834 square foot 1-bedroom for $719,000. $862 a square foot. Or if you financed today (jumbo 30 at 7%) it'd be $4800 a month, plus $1000 a month condo fee (gag gag) and taxes of $1000 a month, we're at $6800 a month for a FRICKING ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT THAT'LL BE LUCKY TO RENT OUT FOR $1500 A MONTH!6800 - 1500 = 5,300 loss per month. Or a 78% fall to get back to reality. Today 25 of the 88 units are for sale, you just know it's a building full of f*cked flippers and failed mortgage brokers, and the development now reeks of desperation and despair. Watch them race each other to the bottom now - last one out is a rotten egg! Anyone want to bet most of these units go to foreclosure?Seriously, these hilariou...
