McCain Campaign & VP Palin Crushed by CNN- McCain Cancels Larry King Live Interview Due to Embarrassment

2008-09-09T19:43:40Z

...So McSame cancelled his interview.......I suppose he'll find a kinder format with faux news and company.

All a Governor does is request...I repeat....REQUEST the National Guard's assistance at a state level. The Guard has its own Generals in place to COMMAND the troops.

Once deployed by the Federal....all state input is nil....All Palin did was VISIT the Alaskan National Guard and to insinuate that she was somehow commanding troops in Kuwait is total absurdity! (And she had to get a passport for that excursion....she'd never been out of the country before). sheeeeeesh

Stop-Loss: The military "backdoor draft"-3/3

Stop-Loss: A Look at the US Military Policy that Creates a "Backdoor Draft" to Force Soldiers to Continue Service

With about 175,000 troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the US military has been forced to rely on a controversial policy known as "stop-loss" to force soldiers to continue serving after their voluntary stints had ended. We speak with two US soldiers: one on active duty in Iraq on his second tour of duty after being stop-lossed, the other facing redeployment after being stop-lossed. We also speak with Hollywood director Kimberly Peirce about her feature film, Stop-Loss. [includes rush transcript]

John McCain: Town Hall Meeting 07/07/08

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
07/07/08

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: "All of us know what is happening to the economy. It is slowing. More than 400,000 people have lost their jobs since December, and the rate of new job creation has fallen sharply. Some economists have noted that companies seem to be on a "hiring strike." Americans are worried about the security of their current job, and they're worried that they, their kids and their neighbors may not find good jobs and new opportunities in the future. To make matters worse, gas is over $4 a gallon and the price of oil has almost doubled in the last year. The cost of everything from energy to food is rising."

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
Portsmouth, OH 07/09/08

TRANSCRIPT:
QUESTIONER: "[...] I'm the founder of a small, non-profit hospice in Wilmington, Ohio. [...] I'm sure you are aware that DHL is closing that airpark in Wilmington. We will lose 8,600 jobs. [starts to cry] Will you call for Senate hearings to investigate the DHL-UPS joint venture, which could be an antitrust issue? [...] We're just small people trying to live a life. And I want to be able to keep our nonprofits alive. Thank you."

JOHN MCCAIN: "I have been briefed, and I know about this situation. [...] This is a terrible blow. Um, if there's an anitrust implication that's associated with this, I certainly would seek a thorough investigation [...] We are in a period of transition to a global economy. That is of no consolation to anyone who is losing their job. [...] But we have to offer them an opportunity to get the education and re-training programs so they can re-enter the job market.

MCCAIN: "[...] I've got to look you in the eye and give you some straight talk; I don't know if I can stop it or not. Or if it will be stopped it. [...] In fact, some more straight talk: I doubt it. Ok? But I am for a thorough examination of this situation. [...]

MCCAIN: "In the meantime, there are manufacturing jobs that have been lost all over the state of Ohio, and it's been a terrible trauma and we have got to give people another opportunity. And you do that by going to the community colleges and saying: design education and training programs that are designed for the local job market and implement those programs. The private programs today do not work. They are total failures.

MCCAIN: "[...] But I also want to make a commitment [...] if someone has a high-paying job, particularly an older worker, and that worker has to take a low-paying job just to survive [...] that we would subsidize, with some of this job training money that's being wasted, that worker's salary [...] while they're undergoing their re-training and education programs.

MCCAIN: "[...] I believe in free trade; I believe that it's important to the economy."

Maintaining Memory through Old Age - Emma Shulman

2008-07-24T14:27:04Z

Complete video at: fora.tv

Emma Shulman, a 95-year-old lecturer and Senior Family Counselor at NYU's Silberstein Institute, discusses how to maximize memory skills as the brain ages.

-----

NYU's Silberstein Institute (the Aging and Dementia Clinical and Research institute at NYU Langone Medical Center) presents an interview with Emma Shulman, LCSW, MPH with David Hittson of the Silberstein Institute.

Shulman answers questions concerning aging and memory changes. A 95-year-old vibrant speaker in high demand around New York, she has many years of experience working with older people.

After 27 years of service to NYU's William and Sylvia Silberstein Institute for Aging and Dementia, Emma Shulman, L.S.W.,M.P.H., its Senior Family Counselor, has retired at the age of 95 to pursue an M.A. in Cultural Anthropology, her fifth master's degree.
Shulman came to the institute as a 68-year-old volunteer to study aging and add an advanced degree in gerontology to those she had earned in social work, business, and psychology.

In 1980 she joined the staff as research coordinator of an NIA-supported longitudinal study of aging and Alzheimer's disease is still the largest and longest of its kind in the world and co-leader of two caregiver support groups that she and her colleague, Gertrude Steinberg, began at NYU's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center . She also helped launch the New York City chapter of the Alzheimer's Association.

Shulman, who was featured in Business Week 2005 cover story on productive aging, will continue to serve the institute as a part-time consultant. She hasn't decided where she'll enroll for her next degree, but says NYU is a strong possibility. The most important thing to me, as she explains, is that it's a progressive program.

Sam talks about the tragic loss of young Actor, Heath Ledger

2008-06-10T21:31:05Z

► SamVLOG.com

Sam talks about the tragic loss of the young and gifted Heath Ledger and how moments that touch us are opportunities to examine our own lives.

2/6/08 UPDATE: The NYC medical examiner's office has ruled that Heath Ledger died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.

"Having a child changes every aspect of your life - for the better, of course. The sacrifices are large, but what you get in return is even bigger than the sacrifices you make. I feel, in a sense, ready to die because you are living on in your child, (not literally ready to die, but, you know, that sort of feeling in a profound way)" Heath Ledger, In Touch Weekly, November 2007

Date of Birth
4 April 1979, Perth, Western Australia, Australia

Date of Death
22 January 2008, Manhattan, New York, USA

Heath Ledger Biography:

When a young, hunky 20 year old heart-throb Heath Ledger first came to the attention of the public in 1999, it was all too easy to tag him as a "pretty boy" and an actor of not much depth. He has spent the past five years trying desperately to sway this image away, but this has indeed been a double-edged sword. But that comes much later in his story. Heath Ledger was born on the fourth of April 1979, in Perth, Western Australia. As the story goes, in junior high it was compulsory to do one of two electives, either cooking or drama, and as Heath could honestly not see himself in a cooking class, he tried his hand at drama. Heath was talented, there was no denying that. However, the rest of the class did not acknowledge his talent, possibly out of jealousy. When he was 17, he and a friend, decided to pack up, leave school, take a car and rough it to Sydney. Heath believed Sydney to be the place where dreams are made, or at least, where actors can possibly get their big break. However, upon arriving in Sydney with a purported 69 cents to his name, Heath tried everything to get a break. His first real acting job came in a low budget movie called Blackrock (1997), a largely unimpressive cliché; a teen angst film about one boy's struggle when he learns his best mate raped a girl. He did not have a large part in this movie. In fact, it was a very small one. The only thing of notice in his role is you get to see him get his lights punched out. After that small role, Heath auditioned for a role in a TV show called "Sweat" (1996) about a group of young Olympic hopefuls. He got offered one of two roles, one as a swimmer, another as a gay cyclist. Heath accepted the latter because he felt to really stand out as an actor one had to accept unique roles that stood out from the bunch. It got him small notice, but unfortunately the show was quickly axed, which led him to look for other roles. He was in "Home and Away" (1988) for a very short period, in which he played a surfer who falls in love with one of the girls of Summer Bay. Then came his very brief role in Paws (1997). Paws was a film which existed solely to cash in on guitar prodigy Nathan Cavaleri's brief moment of fame, where he was the hottest thing in Australia. Heath played a student in the film, involved in a stage production of a Shakespeare play, in which he played "Oberon". A very brief role, this did nothing other than give him a small paycheck, but nothing to advance his career. Then came Two Hands (1999). He went to America trying to audition for film roles, showcasing his brief role in "Roar" (1997) opposite then unknown Vera Farmiga. He could not find any American roles but then Australian director Gregor Jordan auditioned him for the lead in Two Hands (1999), which he got. An in your face Aussie crime thriller, Two Hands (1999) was outstanding and helped him secure a role in 10 Things I Hate About You (1999). After that, it seemed Heath was being typecast as a teen hunk, which he did not like, so he accepted a role in a very serious war drama The Patriot (2000).
