Yes, he controls all media.

While the President said every idea must be considered, the idea of creating a single-payer national health insurance program has already been rejected. White House spokesperson Robert Gibbs said Thursday, “The President doesn’t believe that’s the best way to achieve the goal of cutting costs and increasing access.”

Initially, no supporters of single payer were invited to the summit. After protests were called, the White House invited Democratic Congressman John Conyers and the president of the Physicians for a National Health Program.

Major newspaper, broadcast and cable stories mentioning healthcare reform in the week leading up to President Barack Obama’s March 5 healthcare summit rarely mentioned the idea of a single-payer national health insurance program, according to a new FAIR study. And advocates of such a system–two of whom participated in yesterday’s summit–were almost entirely shut out, FAIR found.

Single-payer–a model in which healthcare delivery would remain largely private, but would be paid for by a single federal health insurance fund (much like Medicare provides for seniors, and comparable to Canada’s current system)–polls well with the public, who preferred it two-to-one over a privatized system in a recent survey (New York Times/CBS, 1/11-15/09). But a media consumer in the week leading up to the summit was more likely to read about single-payer from the hostile perspective of conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer than see an op-ed by a single-payer advocate in a major U.S. newspaper.

Over the past week, hundreds of stories in major newspapers and on NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, NPR and PBS’s NewsHour With Jim Lehrer mentioned healthcare reform, according to a search of the Nexis database (2/25/09-3/4/09). Yet all but 18 of these stories made no mention of "single-payer" (or synonyms commonly used by its proponents, such as "Medicare for all," or the proposed single-payer bill, H.R. 676), and only five included the views of advocates of single-payer–none of which appeared on television.

Fox Remains #2 Cabler With Top 11 News Programs

As the Fox News Channel continues to be berated by America’s new president along with his Party and liberal media minions, the cable network keeps drawing in more and more viewers.

In fact, it has been the second most-watched ad-supported cable network for nine straight weeks, and now sports the top eleven cable news programs.

Adding insult to injury, TVNewser reported Tuesday that FNC is now attracting more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined:

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

How’s this for cable news domination - Fox News beat CNN and MSNBC combined in every hour from 6amET to MidnightET in both Total Viewers and the A25-54 demo for April 2009. [...]

From 9amET on, every program grew by more than 60% in the demo. The 5pmET hour, now occupied by Glenn Beck, is up 212% in the demo and up 128% in Total Viewers. Your World with Neil Cavuto is up 102% in the demo and up 60% in Total Viewers. On the Record with Greta Van Susteren is up 75% in demo and up 55% in Total Viewers. Also in demo: FOX Report is up 75%, Special Report 70%, The O’Reilly Factor 74% and Hannity 64%.

Fox & Friends has now been #1 for 90 consecutive months, Studio B with Shepard Smith for 80 consecutive months.

Awfully impressive, wouldn’t you say? But it gets better, for MediaWeek reported Monday that FNC is gunning to replace USA as the number one cable network:

Naturally, Fox News says that second place isn’t good enough. Even after taking the silver among ad-supported cable in the first quarter of 2009, averaging 2.26 million total viewers to USA Network’s record delivery of 3.26 million, the channel won’t rest until it has reached the summit. In short, FNC wants to win the prime-time ratings crown outright, and as the upfront season approaches, its ad sales team is trumpeting that message to media buyers.

As the Huffington Post reported Tuesday, FNC narrowed the gap further in April averaging 2.350 million total viewers in primetime compared to USA’s 3.044, a difference of only 694,000.

Can you imagine what liberals will think if FNC actually becomes the #1 ad-supported cable network?

Speaking of which, Headline News’s Nancy Grace actually beat MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann this month in the all important 25 to 54-year-old demo.

Nice job, Keith.

For those interested, here are the top 20 cable news program in April:

1. "The O’Reilly Factor" (Fox News): 3,498,000 total viewers
2. "Hannity" (Fox News): 2,566,000 total viewers

4. "On the Record with Greta van Susteren" (Fox News): 2,173,000 total viewers
5. "Special Report with Bret Baier" (Fox News): 2,047,000 total viewers

12. "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" (MSNBC): 1,237,000 total viewers
13. "The Live Desk" (Fox News): 1,210,000 total viewers

19. "Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull" (CNN): 786,000 total viewers
20. "CNN Newsroom" (CNN): 725,000 total viewers

Fox is #1 Cable News for a reason. They tell both sides.

Of course he and the libs want to shut it down. You have heard of the "Fairness Doctrine?"

I am primarily a batsman but of late due to average form, I have been given a few chances with the ball, these chances have gone really well and I have discovered a new facet to my game. However I only can really bowl a few balls offering little variation other than my stock delivery, I bowl medium pace (when feeling especially energetic a tad faster LOL) and am looking to learn some more deliveries. Can anyone help me out? I am not a new cricketer, I have been playing for as long as I can remember, however bowling is new to me, I know the effects of bowling different balls where I am a batsman, but have no clue how to bowl them.

Currently I bowl a cross seamed delivery which ‘Pops’ up off the seam offering the edge of the bat it also slows when I do this.

My other ball currently is one where I roll my wrist over the ball and let it out of the side of my hand where my index finger and thumb is opposed to out the back of the hand, this ball spins and slows, it might be a form of off-cutter again I am clueless :L

Please give me ideas for slower balls, cutters, seamers anything that I can give ago. If you have read all of this you have done well! Thanks in advance!

If you want to ball pace, you need a lot of practice to be consistent.

Cos ur a primarily batsman, id suggest going into spin.

Spin bowling because ther no real rules,its free. watever feels comfotable in ur hand that releases the ball to allow it to spin is excellent.

I bowl pace and spin.

In my spin i let the ball out from the side of my hand, its an excellent technique for spin, the only problem is that its difficult to control the spin and accuracy tough that way. But its very effective and it shouldnt take really long to get it right.

But cos im a better pace bowler, ill giv u some tips thatll help u in pace, and maybe in spin too.

1 - Give yourself a permenant run up, meaning, dont keep changing the lenght of ur run up. keep it the same. the same, the better, the faster ull get used to it.

2- know where exactly you wanna bowl before each ball, keep your eyes on the spot you want the ball to hit.

3- Breathe in before each bowl,take ur time, its cricket, not soccer.

4- dont panic at all, be relaxed, dont be preassurized.

5 - when release, for better aim, have your arm slide accross ur ear. itll help u aim. experiment with it and ull se what i mean. the bowling arm that is.

6 - Use the most comfortable technique to hold the ball. i suggest 2 fingers and thumb on the seam. its most ’seaming full’ and accurate.

If u wanna throw a slow ball, u can try holdin the ball with your whole hand. that way, its slower wen u release it. Or u can try releasin the ball from the backside of the hand, but thats difficult to master.

Personally, i always wanted to go into spin, cause it can get extremely fun and addicive wen u find the batsmens weakness. Spin comes natrually, a lazy person can master it, whereas pace needs practice every week to master. Spins as effective as pace. Anyways, hve fun.

Hello Ladies,

I am new to this board, but have what is likely to be a strange question. I have three children,7, 3.5 and 1.5. Each of my dd’s were preemies, 36w, 32w, and 31w1d. I had a tl in late March ‘06, not because I didn’t want another baby, but because I didn’t want to have another preemie.

A week and a half ago I started having strange dreams. One specifically stands out. My Nana, who has been deceased for nearly three years, "came" to me in this dream and told me that I am pregnant with twins and to remember how much everyone around me is going to give up so that I can have these babies. Each dream after that one has pointed to me being pregnant. (Each time I get pregnant I dream it first, in some fashion or another, and the dreams progress until delivery. Also, the dreams always start shortly after conception, which would be the case in this situation as well.)

My last AF was 01/01/2007-01/07/2007 (my periods are normally 3 to 5 weeks long and very heavy since my tl) and was medium to light flow. Because my AF’s are so weird (normal for me now) I don’t even know when I would be due for my next AF.

What I’m looking for is advice on how to handle this situation and if anyone else has had dreams like mine that preceed pregnancy?

Any help will be greatly appreciated and received.

Thanks

wow. that is interesting.
I did not find out I was pregnant until I was 10 days past my cycle. But I had the strangest dreams right from the time of conception.
None that pointed out my pregnancy. But just very vivid, different dreams. So unreal what the body can do.
I hope that everything works out ok for you. If you have twins on the way I wish you the best and I hope you can enjoy and embrace this as it comes.
You are already a wonderful mother…you can handle this. Be strong, take deep breaths.
Good luck. Wishing the best for you.

I am owner a small specialty pastry company and have a fleet of 15 international step vans (like the ones used for UPS and FedEx). I am having problems with the brakes wearing out way too quickly; they only seem to last about 15,000 miles. This has become a huge expense for me in maintenance costs and I need something that last longer (a lot longer if possible). I am not a mechanic – I am a pastry chef. I outsource the servicing of my fleet to a local shop known for working on medium duty trucks and the owner tells me there’s nothing better than the semi metallic pads he is supplying. I really think he just wants the markup. He (reluctantly) has agreed to allow me to supply him with the pads because I threatened to find a new shop with better products. I only hope someone can help recommend something that is proven to last longer than the measly 15,000 miles I’m getting now. Please help!

Sounds like you may have to talk to your drivers and slow them down a little bit.Brakes are only as good as the drivers that use them

I ordered a medium pizza for 12.50 including a delivery charge. I only have $20 for the whole weekend. I don’t feel like giving 3 dollars to a delivery guy. If you delivery boys cry about your job well ok get a damn job that pays you minimum wage. Or why don’t you get signs and horde around the pizza ceo’s demanding they give you more money for your service. I just think its ridiculous for someone to give me a pissed off look after they see the money they received. Also i know they don’t get payed well that is why if you hate your job you should get a new one maybe start up a organization to collect money for the pizza delivery men and women of America. Oh i forgot its a recession, its hard to find a job, well maybe you shouldn’t be expecting a tip then since most people are suffering from financial struggle.
OH damn everyone seems to be mad here, lol like i expected…. but i love how no one seems to mention the pizza company owners who pay THEIR delivery boys with 2.10 every hour. Thats ok though they can do that because they make such establishments. Let all the fault and blame be put on the Americans who tip these people for the wrong of the pizza owners put on them. boo hoo

It doesn’t matter WHY you didn’t tip, just that you didn’t. The tip is how they make their money since they aren’t being paid a full wage, and it is supposed to be a service fee. If you’d like to clarify it, you can call the company and ask if the delivery charge is going to the delivery person as a tip or not. If not, then you need to tip 15-20% of the original bill BEFORE the delivery fee and before taxes or discounts. So if the pizza is 10 dollars, then tip 1.50 - 2.00.

If you don’t want to tip, then don’t order from somewhere that delivers. It is just how it works, not fair, but that’s how it is.

If not, what hope does the public medium have? Is it any more or less adaptable to new delivery methods than its commercial cousins?

What do you mean by public tv programs? Do you mean like PBS or just network tv like NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX? I much prefer network tv to cable in most cases. I don’t even have cable or satellite. As to PBS I love watching the old movies and the masterpiece theater shows, but because of the switch to Digital I no longer get PBS. Which is sad.
