I heard about it on the radio, and this is the only website I came across about it.

Is this legitimately launched by Justin Bieber and usher? I’m curious as to whether this is going to become as big as facebook. Does anyone know about it?

I also heard about it on the radio and signed up myself! Everything looks legit! From the looks of it and how the site is setup it has the potential to be way bigger then any social network I’ve been on! Seriously I think this is the future, they’ve out done themselves!

Dozens of radio stations shut down in Venezuela Story Highlights
Venezuela government takes dozens of radio stations off air
Venezuela President Hugo Chavez has cracked down on local media

(CNN) — At least 34 private radio stations in Venezuela were closed indefinitely Friday, and 206 more were at risk of being shut down, a government official said.

The stations were closed for various reasons, including expired permits and operation by unauthorized personnel, said Diosdado Cabello, minister of Public Works and Housing.

"Freedom of expression is not the most sacred freedom," Cabello was quoted as saying by CNN affiliate Globovision.

Cabello said the closings affected at least 11 states nationwide and 206 additional stations would shut down in the coming days.

Most station owners said the closures were politically motivated. The government of leftist President Hugo Chavez has cracked down on the media.

A "Special Bill Against Media Crimes" was introduced before the National Assembly this week, Cabello said, adding that he hoped the bill would pass.

The government has also heightened its battle against Globovision, the only critical private broadcaster in the nation. In June, it launched a fifth investigation into the network.

In early June, officials arrived at Globovision to accuse the station of not paying about $2.3 million in taxes for certain advertisements it aired in 2002 and 2003.

A few hours before, the government raided the home of Globovision President Guillermo Zuloaga, an avid hunter, to see whether he had killed any protected animals. It was the second raid on Zuloaga’s home in two weeks.

"This is something to try to scare Globovision, to silence Globovision, something they are not going to achieve," Zuloaga said at the time.

RCTV, another independent station that criticized Chavez, lost its broadcast license two years ago. It had to go off the public airwaves and transmit solely on cable.

Other TV stations hung on to their frequencies by adjusting their editorial line, the Reporters Without Borders press organization said in its 2009 World Report.

Venezuelan officials have repeatedly denied any political motives. Chavez has labeled as "terrorists" any TV station owners who criticize the government.

You answer your own question.
Marxist Dictators.

However, I don’t mind your post (being a REAL democrat who prizes free speech and freedom of the press) because someone has to always keep the subject alive to prevent us from ever becoming socialist, communist, Marxist, or anything of the sort.

Sure would like to have my party back. They have four years. After that we are looking at either the death of socialism in the world, or the beginning of the Socialist Paradise (No, thanks, don’t want it).

Some of the nation’s top civil rights leaders are angrily accusing right-wing media star Glenn Beck of "hijacking" the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King’s "I Have a Dream" speech by planning to rally his conservative forces at the same Lincoln Memorial site on the anniversary date of Aug. 28 — and so they are planning a counter-rally and march of their own.

"Beck is hijacking the imagery and symbolism of August 28 and the Lincoln Memorial to promote an agenda of intolerance," said Marc H. Morial, the former New Orleans mayor who is now president and CEO of the National Urban League, one of the counter-rally organizers, said earlier tonight in a telephone interview.

The Morial-led Urban League is teaming with well-known activists such as the Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network in planning a "mass rally" and march that will begin at a high school in Northeast Washington. Morial said that one of King’s surviving children, Martin Luther King III, is also on board. Less than three miles away, the Fox News Channel host and former half-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin are headlining a heavily promoted rally called "Restoring Honor."

Morial said in the phone interview that civil rights leaders believe that "Beck is deliberately trying to poke a stick in our eye, or kick sand in our faces" by holding the rally on the 47th anniversary and at the spot of King’s most famous speech, at a massive rally to lobby support for what would become the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that ended legal segregation in America.

Beck claimed earlier this month on his radio show that one of his goals is to "reclaim the civil right movement," saying that it should be about individual liberties and not social justice or supporting undocumented immigration, which he called "modern day slavery." But as Beck’s popularity has risen since launching his Fox News program the same week that Barack Obama became the nation’s first African-American president — angering many with attacks linking Obama to socialism or communism and also triggering outrage with his comment that the president has "a deep-seated hatred for white people."

Beck is not "high-jacking" Martin Luther King’s legacy… He is honoring it! In fact, MLK’s niece, who marched with Dr. King, and is a highly educated doctor in her own right, totally supports Beck’s activities. They have become great friends.

Actually when the August 28 date was first chosen, he didn’t even realize that it was the anniversary of the MLK speech… until someone pointed it out to him. But since his goals for the program are very compatible with the MLK speech and MLK’s entire message, he saw no disconnect.

But frankly even if he did, are you saying no one can have a rally on that day? Where does that come from?

Beck feels that today’s civil rights leaders have strayed away from the message of MLK. That was the point behind the recapturing the civil rights movement.

And don’t even try to say that Beck is a racist or a bigot. Because if you have watched any of his shows discussing the issues facing Blacks and the POSITIVE role of Blacks in history, you couldn’t possibly believe that bologna.

Beck has attacked Obama and the radicals whom he surrounds himself with on the ISSUES and uses their own words to prove his points. It’s amazing how people consistently ignore that rather important point.

i was listening to the radio and they were talking about a new social networking site launched today does anyone know what it twas called?

Was it this one? This is fairly new: http://www.cornwallscoolest.com/

Alright, before I begin I want to clarify a few things. I am a reasonable, average person. I am definitely straightforward and practical, so what I am about to tell you is a big step forward by myself. I just need someone else’s opinion on it because of its extreme nature.

So; here goes. A few nights ago I had a dream to rival all dreams. It began as my family and I were gathered around the fire listening to the radio as an Emergency Broadcast System alert interrupted a Minnesota Twins game. It informed us that the Russian Federation had deceived our defense networks and were launching a large scale invasion. It went on to say that marshall law as to be instated and that all people in an unaffected city or region to stay put until further notice. Then I randomly moved forward to a future point in time. I was on a cold battlefield with my own rifle in my hand. As I became aware of my surroundings, I immediately was overcome with a surge of rage and anguish. As I looked down, I could see my friend ( who is also only 16 as I am ) laying in front of me with blood pouring out of his stomach. I knew he was dead. As I struggled to cope with what was occurring, a massive roar of thousands of voices captured my attention and brought me back to reality. I looked around, and everyone was charging forward to overtake a hazy ridge. As we overwhelmed the Russian forces they turned back in a retreat. As I came to the top of the ridge, I immediately recognized a city skyline in the distance, it was that of Minneapolis. It was devastated. smoke was billowing from several areas of the city and from some of the skyscrapers themselves. For the moment we had won, and we rested for an oncoming battle. This gave me enough time to go back to the hill, find my friend’s body, and give him a proper burial. I cannot express the intense sadness I felt as this occurred, but it soon ended as I moved forward in time once again. It was dawn, and very cold. US Army and Marine forces had arrived to give what appeared to be a mass of civilians the help that we needed. A siren sounded in the background and we charged forward, the city was probably 2-3 miles away and I ran along with hummers and tanks and personnel carriers. Big bombers appeared overhead, and destroyed all that lay ahead in preparation for our apparent assault to retake the Twin Cities. As we approached the city center, I could see Russians everywhere. I was directed to go in a medium sized office building with another 3 or 4 soldiers and provide sniper support. We immediately started mowing the enemy down, I was shooting as fast as I could and totally slaughtering retreating Russians. But something seemed odd. We were winning, yet our forces had begun a hasty retreat. I soon realized what was the matter. Above me appeared a massive fireball, and as soon as it appeared, all the tanks and vehicles stopped dead. I could see some sort of jet tumble from the sky and erupt into flames as it hit the ground. Within seconds, a shock-wave ( from what I think was a nuke or some type of huge bomb ) hit our building and we instantly died ( I’m assuming here again ). I then began to have flashbacks, my aunt’s rolling farm on the Fourth of July with beautiful grain fields in the distance and my little cousin running around, then my first kiss, then my history class pledging allegiance, fishing in northern Minnesota, my family at thanksgiving, and finally the raising of the American flag and a crowd of people singing the national anthem. These scenes were beautiful and serene. They made me swell with extreme pride and happiness. As I faded away, I felt so at ease, and at peace with all that I had done. It seemed so perfect, so wonderful.

And that was it. I have to tell you, I never have realistic dreams…EVER. Yet this seemed SO real and so vivid. I seemed coherent and in control, which never happens! I also seemed aware of what was going on, and the emotions that I felt…felt entirely REAL! Please tell me what in the hell is going on!?
Sorry I left this out: as I was looking backon myife, the song old country church (name?) was playing. Sorry for spelling, this was very hurried.

You may find it really is a common answer.

The interruption means there are forces in yur life that mean to make things hard for you so you cannot live a normal life and yuo have to go up against them. your friend is actually a dream of yours that dies, so you let it go properly. The twin Cities are a goal stripped from you but you are fighting to get your dream back, but domeone has decided to take it ALL away, but you do not feel that bad, as at least you made a strong account for yourself

So what’s amiss in your life?

Does your child have private internet access?

The Victims’ Champion called for adults to install monitoring software on computers used by youngsters, and she admitted she checks up on her own children.

"It’s like being stalked," she said. "It’s harassment. As an adult, it’s seen as all those things. But for some reason when we put it with children and put the word bullying to it, it’s something which can be brushed over.

Since the death of her daughter Sarah at the hands of paedophile Roy Whiting in 2000, Mrs Payne has become a prominent campaigner for victims’ rights. Mrs Payne, who took up her Government-appointed post at the end of January, made her comments as she launched Real Radio’s Websafe campaign.

According to a survey by the network of regional stations, a fifth of schoolchildren admit they have given personal information to someone they have never met. The poll of 3,680 children aged 11 to 15 also found 16% had agreed to meet a stranger after chatting on the internet.

The research showed 61% of teenagers could access the internet in their bedrooms, with almost half (45%) of parents never checking on their children’s online activities.

Mrs Payne defended "spying" on children for their own safety.
"I’m not sorry or apologising for being involved in my children’s lives," she said. "You just have to tell them – yes, you can have the internet, but this software will be on there and I will check at some point and if you don’t stick to these rules, the internet goes. You’re the parent, they’re the child and, quite frankly, there’s nothing wrong with that."

Mrs Payne is just right not to be sorry for ‘’spying”
After several incidents in which I found the 11 year old talking to strangers and having a forbidden facebook profile all emails,invitations to message etc are routed through me.

She also knows if my IM pops up while she is on Lexi is the only one she can reply to.
She is also not allowed the laptop in her bedroom anymore.

On a side note isn’t Sara Payne an incredibly brave women?
Most people would go to pieces after losing a child in such an horrendous manner but she has campaigned to save other children

God Bless her

and how do you feel about bastadobbs.com being a huge part of it? Does this mean that Latinos and their supporters are finally being heard?

BastaDobbs.com Announces Victory: Lou Dobbs to Leave CNN

NEW YORK – Responding to the news Wednesday that Lou Dobbs will leave his post as a longtime anchor on CNN, the leaders of BastaDobbs.com – a national Latino-led coalition that had been advocating for his ouster – released the following statement:

“Our contention all along was that Lou Dobbs – who has a long record of spreading lies and conspiracy theories about immigrants and Latinos – does not belong on the ‘Most Trusted Name in News,’” said Roberto Lovato, co-founder of Presente.org, a national online advocacy organization coordinating the BastaDobbs.com campaign in conjunction with more than 40 local and regional Latino organizations from across the country. “We are thrilled that Dobbs no longer has this legitimate platform from which to incite fear and hate.”

The BastaDobbs.com campaign launched in mid-September, and included online petitions, a viral YouTube video, text-message campaign, radio PSAs and a series of events in 18 cities – organized in conjunction with the CNN special Latino in America. The message to CNN was that courting Latino viewers while keeping Dobbs on the network would not win them favor with the fastest-growing demographic in the country. Since then, more than 100,000 people have joined the effort. The events and the campaign garnered significant press coverage in both Spanish-language and mainstream media.

Sea Launch is a spacecraft launch service that uses a mobile sea platform for equatorial launches of commercial payloads on specialized Zenit 3SL rockets. As of January 2007 it had embled and launched 24 rockets with two failures and one partial failure.

The sea-based launch system means the rockets can be fired from the optimum position on Earth’s surface, considerably increasing payload capacity and reducing launch costs compared to land-based systems.

The Sea Launch consortium of four companies from the United States, Russia, Ukraine and Norway, was established in 1995 and their first rocket was launched in March 1999. It is managed by Boeing with participation from the other shareholders.

All commercial payloads have been communications satellites intended for geostationary transfer orbit with such customers as EchoStar, DirecTV, XM Satellite Radio, and PanAmSat.

The launcher and its payload are embled on a purpose-built ship Sea Launch Commander in Long Beach, California. It is then positioned on top of the self-propelled platform Ocean Odyssey and moved to the equatorial Pacific Ocean for launch, with the Sea Launch Commander serving as command center.
