David Bruce: Wise Up! Clothing (Athens News)
Choreographer John Taras wore good clothing Pierre Cardin created many of his outfits. Mr. Taras also wore what he considered a good fragrance Vetiver although some other people disagreed about that. One day, Mr. Taras got in a taxi, and the driver sniffed, and then asked him, "Hey, mister, do you smell something burning back there?"
Anonymous Fights Pepper Spray With Personal Information (buzzfeed.com)
In response to Lt. John Pike's pepper spraying of UC Davis protestors, the international hacking group Anonymous has put out this video urging people to flood his home phone, cell, email, office, and mail box with messages condemning his actions. What do you think? Is this a fair response to an officer's use of pepper spray?
Froma Harrop: Dirty Jobs Don't Have to be Lousy Jobs (Creators Syndicate)
This is a complex matter, and to portray the Alabama law as being all about prejudice against brown-skinned foreigners is unfair. What usually goes unsaid is that tolerating illegal labor forces also has racist consequences. It depresses pay and working conditioning for low-skilled African-Americans, who then get accused of laziness for refusing backbreaking work at basement-scraping wages.
Henry Rollins: Just the Ticket: Cain and Paterno? (LA Weekly)
The last several days and nights have somewhat predictable. Never a good sign. By day, I work at my office, check in with news outlets to keep up with what's happening in America and elsewhere. In the evening, it's the gym, the uploading of food and a more thorough examination of current events. This usually leads to a downturn in mood, and this is where the music usually kicks in. The jams are activated, and things get immeasurably better.
Roger Ebert: Review of "Hugo" (4 stars; PG)
"Hugo" is unlike any other film Martin Scorsese has ever made, and yet possibly the closest to his heart: a big-budget, family epic in 3-D, and in some ways, a mirror of his own life. We feel a great artist has been given command of the tools and resources he needs to make a movie about - movies. That he also makes it a fable that will be fascinating for (some, not all) children is a measure of what feeling went into it.
Kirsten Dunst talks "Melancholia," Oscar buzz and why she loves the "Twilight" films (AfterEllen)
While there are many beautiful images from the first frames of the new Lars von Trier film Melancholia, the most striking is one that comes later in the film when a completely naked Kirsten Dunst lies outside in the grass under the moonlight with a dreamy stare on her beautiful face. The moment is almost a turning point for character who, as everyone else around her becomes unhinged at news that a planet called Melancholia is going to collide and destroy the Earth, seems to come out of her deep, debilitating depression just when the end is near.

Jack Cover, a NASA researcher, began developing the Taser in 1969. By 1974, Cover had completed the device, which he named after his childhood hero Tom Swift ("Thomas A. Swift's electric rifle").

Meanwhile... Sixty years later the Taser was invented by Jack Cover. The trademark is an acronym for Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle. The middle initial (the 'A') is gratuitous, as Tom's full name is unknown.

The Taser, or Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle, was invented in the late sixties by Jack Cover, who named the gun after a fictitious hero.
Dale Of Diamond Springs replied:
Happy Thanksgiving
The story opens with Tom daydreaming of African Safaris while test-firing his new Electric Rifle. It works too well and toasts a hole in his neighbor's dining room wall, prompting an outraged visit from the toastee-in-question. A quick application of cash settles ruffled feathers, and some unspecified safety features are added to the weapon, to prevent a recurrence of the accident. As luck would have it, a famous African Safari Master is in town, shopping for a new big game rifle. He hooks up with Tom and a new custom-built airship, the Black Hawk, is designed & constructed. Tom, Ned, Mr. Damon and the hunter, Mr. Durban, are off to the Dark Continent via steamship, in search of ivory and adventure.
Sure sounds like a Taser to me.

The Heritage Foundation hosted the Republican debate on foreign policy and national security on Tuesday, November 22nd, in Washington DC. CNN lead political anchor Wolf Blitzer moderated.
I'd say this debate has been one of the best so far in terms of substance and internal debate. Gingrich and Huntsman emerged as the winners. Both seemed clear. Romney seemed to be fading. Cain is done for. Ron Paul remains Ron Paul - a potentially history-making third party candidate if he wants it. Santorum, Perry, and Bachmann are just background noise.
In the debate's final half hour, illegal immigration suddenly became the focus as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich made an extended and vigorous defense of allowing illegal residents who'd settled in America for many years to stay and not be deported.

Whatever degree of success achieved by the Occupy protests, it's largely been based on its old-fashioned, off-line demonstrations. They've been decidedly beyond virtual, staking out real ground in downtown Manhattan's Zuccotti Park and forging signs-and-sit-in protests around the country. Some of its founding members even disdain online interaction.
But the protests - the country's first large-scale demonstrations led largely by a generation raised on the Internet - were originally conceived of as "the Occupy Wall Street meme" and made its name by its website: OccupyWallStreet.org.
Earlier this week, the University of California, Davis, police officer who casually swept a line of campus protesters with pepper spray became a viral sensation. The officer, whose name is Lt. John Pike but who's known simply as "Pepper Spraying Cop" online, was captured on video dousing the faces of sitting protesters. The footage is remarkable for his seemingly cavalier disposition.
The meme positions the officer pepper-spraying famous figures through history, movies, famous paintings and just about anything else. George Washington crossing the Potomac gets it, and so does Jesus at the Last Supper. Even the hobbits of "Lord of the Rings" get sprayed.
The images have been collected at peppersprayingcop.tumblr.com/, which states that the page will "document the long pepper spraying arm of this officer of the law!"

Legendary musician Jimi Hendrix was named the greatest guitar player in history on Wednesday by Rolling Stone magazine in a list compiled by a panel of music experts and top guitar players.
"Jimi Hendrix exploded our idea of what rock music could be: He manipulated the guitar, the whammy bar, the studio and the stage," said Grammy-winning guitarist Tom Morello in the magazine, citing Hendrix's "Purple Haze" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" as key tracks.
Hendrix is joined by the likes of Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page and Pete Townshend among the top 10, in a list laden with rock 'n' roll icons spanning decades.
The panel of experts recruited to vote for their favorite guitar players included musicians such as Lenny Kravitz, Eddie Van Halen (who was voted No. 8), Brian May and Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys, along with a selection of Rolling Stone's senior writers and editors.
New Yorker Nick Douglas created an online petition to get Fox News' Megyn Kelly to "eat or drink a full dose of pepper spray on national television," and it has already attracted more than 15,000 signatures.
It all started when the anchor made some controversial comments to Bill O'Reilly on Monday's edition of "The O'Reilly Factor." The two Fox hosts were discussing the UC Davis police that pepper-sprayed protesters affiliated with the Occupy movement.
On the petition's page, Douglas wrote:
Ms. Kelly, on November 21, you told Bill O'Reilly that pepper spray (as used by Lt. John Pike to assault the UC Davis protestors) is "a food product, essentially." That was, of course, ridiculous.
To back up your claim that pepper spray is a food product, please consume as much of it as was sprayed on each protestor's face, in one sitting, on camera at Fox News. You may mix the spray with one serving of food or drink, as I am not a sadist. Then, please relate the effects to your audience.

George Michael's publicist says the British singer has been hospitalized in Vienna with pneumonia.
Connie Filippello said Wednesday that Michael's upcoming tours in Vienna, Strasbourg, France, and Cardiff, Wales, have been postponed as a result and will be rescheduled.
Austrian state broadcaster says that is happening at Vienna's AKH hospital. A woman who answered the phone there refused to comment due to privacy rules. She also did not give her name.
Michael, 48, canceled his planned Vienna concert on Monday two hours before it was due to start.
News International executive James Murdoch has resigned as a director of the companies that publish The Sun and The Times of London newspapers, the company confirmed Wednesday.
Murdoch quit the board of News Group Newspapers Ltd. and Times Newspapers Ltd. following the appointment of Tom Mockridge as News International CEO in September, the company said in a statement.
News Group Newspapers publishes The Sun, Britain's biggest-selling tabloid, and until July published the News of the World tabloid, the country's top-selling Sunday paper. Times Newspapers is responsible for the Times and the Sunday Times.
Murdoch, who denies knowledge of wrongdoing in the hacking, remains chairman of News International, the British arm of his father Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. He also remains a director of the Times Newspapers Holdings Ltd., a holding company of Times Newspapers.
Although appointments to subsidiary boards such as these are often a matter of procedure, Murdoch's moves within News International and his father's larger News Corp. media empire are being closely watched amid speculation over whether the 38-year-old will succeed his father at the top of News Corp.

George Clooney and his ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis are among more than 200 witnesses accepted Wednesday by a Milan court in the trial of former Premier Silvio Berlusconi for allegedly paying for sex with an underage prostitute.
Clooney has said he was approached by Berlusconi's team to testify about "bunga bunga" parties at Berlusconi's villas, but says he only visited the premier's residence once to seek aid for Darfur and declined an invitation to stay.
Berlusconi's defense lawyer Niccolo Ghedini told reporters that Clooney and soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo are on the defense list because an important prosecution witness cited them, the news agency LaPresse reported. Ghedini said they want to dispute the witness's testimony.
The witness list also includes Karima el-Mahroug, the Moroccan teen who is alleged to have had sex with Berlusconi in exchange for money. Both she and Berlusconi, 75, have denied a sexual relationship.
Berlusconi is also charged with using his influence to cover up the crime of underage prostitution by personally intervening to win el-Mahroug's release from police custody when she was picked up on suspicion of theft.
A crew member working on the film "G.I. Joe 2: Retalition" has been killed on the set in New Orleans in what the studio is calling an unusual accident.
Paramount Pictures spokeswoman Virginia Lam said Wednesday that Mike Huber was killed Tuesday. She would not comment to The Associated Press on the circumstances surrounding his death.
New Orleans Police Department spokeswoman Remi Braden says the accident occurred on property owned by NASA, so the federal government is heading the investigation. A spokesman for NASA did not immediately return a telephone call for comment.
The sequel stars Bruce Willis, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Channing Tatum. The action movie is scheduled for release in the summer.
Chalk messages mark the spot where non-violent protestors were pepper-sprayed by police at an "Occupy UCD" rally on campus in Davis, California November 21, 2011. More than 1,000 demonstrators rallied on Monday at the University of California at Davis to protest the pepper-spraying of student protesters by police, a clash captured in video footage circulated widely on television and the Internet.

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson has been set straight on Thanksgiving comfort food.
"The 700 Club" founder showed a clip of Condoleezza Rice on Wednesday. Robertson's host, Kristi Watts, asked what dish the former secretary of state had to have on Thanksgiving. Rice replied macaroni and cheese.
Watts reacted enthusiastically, adding "Sister, that is my dish..."
Appearing perplexed, Robertson asked Watts, who is black, of the women's shared enthusiasm for mac 'n' cheese, "Is that a black thing?"

Anne McCaffrey, whose vision of an interstellar alliance between humans and dragons spawned two dozen "Dragonriders of Pern" novels, has died in Ireland aged 85, her publisher and family announced Wednesday.
Random House said the Cambridge, Massachusetts-born author died of a stroke Monday at her rural residence south of Dublin, her home for four decades. She christened her self-designed house Dragonhold.
McCaffrey turned to the male-dominated world of sci-fi writing after dabbling in singing and amateur acting.
"I have always used emotion as a writing tool," McCaffrey told the science fiction magazine Locus in a 2004 interview. "That goes back to me being on the stage. The thing is, emotion - if it's visibly felt by the writer - will go through all the processes it takes to publish a story and still hit the reader right in the gut. But you have to really mean it."
She was the first woman to win the top two prizes for science fiction writing, the Hugo and the Nebula, in 1968 and 1969 respectively following publication of her first two novellas set on the fictional planet of Pern.
McCaffrey moved to Ireland in 1970 after filing for divorce from her husband of 20 years. She had ancestral ties to Ireland, which also had just launched a unique program to woo novelists to live there exempt from income tax.
Her popularity surged with the 1978 publication of "The White Dragon," which completed her original trilogy begun in the late 1960s. It was her only novel to break into The New York Times best-seller list.
But she maintained a prolific writing pace, producing a further 21 novels set in Pern at various periods of its imagined history.
Over the past decade as her health faded, she increasingly collaborated with her son Todd, who co-authored five Pern-based novels and wrote three others on his own. The 23rd novel, 'Dragon's Time," was published in June with mother and son sharing the writing credit, while the 24th, "Sky Dragons," is set for publication next year.
She is survived by two sons and a daughter. Funeral arrangements were not announced.
