Deena: Jersey Shore's Blast in a Glass

Sorry for the lack of Jersey Shore posts - living in a new household where there cable is not readily available and wireless internet is limited it has been hard to keep up with Jersey Shore. The most recent episode from last Thursday still needs to be viewed - there will be a blog post in regards to the huge fight between Ronnie and Sammi from a couple episodes back.

MTV Image
This post is basically an analysis of the new girl, Deena. Deena seemed readily accepted since she was Snooki's friend. She always calls herself a little meatball.

The first night with Sammi it seemed a bit over the top that she called Sammi the c-word just because Sammi laughed at her.

Deena's phrase "blast in a glass" sort of sticks with her and she seems like she likes to have fun and get real crazy. In one of the after shows she was caught in a lie when she said that she was not bothered by something, but then after other cast mates badgered her a bit she admitted that she was hurt.

She seems to put up a front about not caring and that she's just an all around fun girl who does anything for attention. This includes going out with MVP and taking body shots off of other girls.

This girl seems to definitely be different from Angelina when it comes to partying, and she is quite a different character than Angelina all together. She compares herself to Snooki a lot, but Snooki (despite her erratic decisions and her jail time) seems to have a sense of logic and emotions.



Deena Nicole Cortese
Deena hooks up with Dean and acts all cutesy with him in the hot tub believing that he doesn't have a girlfriend, and the next day she pretends she doesn't care that he had a girlfriend. She goes out with him a second time and Dean tells the guys that Deena ...licked his butt... and Deena denies this completely - but honestly, what guy would make that up?

Why would any one make up something so gross like that? Honestly, a guy would not make up that that happened to him, because a guy wouldn't want to believe that happened to him.

In the last episode that was viewed where Deena and Snooki move (or attempt to move) Sammi's bed downstairs it seems like it was all a bit overdone on Deena's part. Deena seems like she wants to get the most air-time as possible since she's the new cast member and since the others in the house already know how to be themselves and that being themselves is entertaining enough for television, but Deena somehow acts as though she needs to prove "look at me!"

Well Deena, you really are proving to be a "blast in a glass," but maybe you will show your personality and actual emotion - because this glass seems to be empty.

Oakland City Attorney Appointed? Mayor Quan's Terrible Idea

Over the years and before Oakland had an elected lawyer starting in 2000, one of the main complaints was that an appointed Oakland City Attorney was too much the shill of the then-powerful Oakland City Council.  Of course, it was Oakland's mayor who made that complaint more often than others. At times, given that the Mayor couldn't trust who was talking, the lawyer or the council, the complaint was just. But all have agreed having Oakland's top lawyer at the hands of the Mayor would be equally disastrous, which is why it was not don when Oakland had the chance.

Now, with a massive turnover in institutional memory, comes newly-elected Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, pulling a fast one in suggesting Oakland have an appointed and not elected lawyer.  That can't be allowed to happen; here's why.

Mayoral Impulse And Oakland's Lawyer

I remember when, in 1997, and during the time I served as Economic Advisor to Mayor Elihu Harris, Elihu called then-Oakland City Attorney Jane Williams in for what became a blistering critique of her negotiations with the Golden State Warriors over revenue and cost payment splits at the Oakland Coliseum.  Jane may not know this, but Elihu wanted to impulsively fire her right after she left his office, and just because he was angry at the time.

How do I know?  Because I was just outside the door waiting for him to finish with her, so I could complete my meeting with him. See, the entire meeting between the two of them happened because I briefed Elihu on my displeasure with the outcome of the talks with the Warriors (I wasn't in control of the negotiations; Jane and Deena McClain, who still runs the Coliseum's legal affairs as of this writing, were).  Angry that the City of Oakland was going to pay more for stadium costs that Elihu wanted (as close to zero as possible), he got on the phone and called Jane over.  She arrived within 15 minutes.

Elihu told me to wait for him outside.  I knew what was about to happen.  After about three minutes, Elihu erupted.  You could hear Mayor Harris yelling all the way out to the Mayor's Office greeting area.  (And if you know the layout, that takes some doing.)

But with all that, Jane retained her job because she was appointed by the City Council.  Now, if Elihu indeed had the power he wanted to have at the time, Jane Williams would have been out of a job on the spot.    While Elihu's anger was more than justified, firing Jane would not have been the solution; thank God he wasn't able to do it.   But the other problem was Jane had the backing of the Oakland City Council; she wasn't able to be a truly independent agent.

Now, Mayor Quan wants the same power Elihu wanted and because she can't kick out Oakland City Attorney John Russo. Boo hoo. And it's not because John made a bad decision, but more a continuation of petty style issues that have plagued their relationship for years.  But before I continue, some backstory on why we now have an elected Oakland lawyer is in order.

When then-Oakland Mayoral Candidate Jerry Brown proposed Measure X, the initiative that changed the Oakland City Charter such that Oakland now has a "strong" Mayor and an elected City Attorney, the idea was to have a lawyer that, when it came to getting an opinion on a legal question, wasn't the tool of either the Mayor or the Oakland City Council.

Originally, Brown, now Governor of California, wanted the city's lawyer to be under him. But many on the Oakland Charter Review Committee, and Oakland elected officials, balked at the idea, saying that they couldn't trust the view of a Mayor-appointed lawyer, let alone one picked by the Oakland City Council. The result was Measure X, passed in 1998, had the provision for an elected lawyer, so when Oakland voters approved it, that position became the law of the city. Former Oakland District Two Councilmember John Russo became Oakland's first elected lawyer in 2000, and has won re-election twice since, in 2004 and in 2008.

Now, 12 years later, new Oakland Mayor Jean Quan wants to go back to the old system.  Her reasons are, to be frank, surprisingly less than one would expect from any mayor of a big city.  While Quan's complaint to some in the online press has been that she "can't get briefed" from the City Attorney - and to people who don't know Oakland's history such that they can challenge her on her comment - the reality is Quan's never liked Russo's style.

Mayor Quan has complained about Russo's office for some time, and the word's around town.  It's not that Russo has avoided briefing her - that's not true and that she would even allow the public to think that is shameful - the truth is she didn't even like the legal views he came up with.  This is also true for Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan, who's made several statements in opposition to legal opinions coming from Russo's office, of course, only when the City Attorney's views differed from her own.

So the questions come: "Why doesn't Jean (Mayor Quan) like John Russo?"  Who cares?  That anyone would ask such a question is immature (that word again) in itself.  Here's some news: Mayor Quan's not supposed to like John Russo, she's supposed to work with him.

What's happened is - for a host of reasons - Oakland's City Hall has become more like high school that it's ever been in the past (the "thousands of games Elihu would refer to) and now prickly personalities and thin-skins rule the day.  And in this environment, high school-level behavior and petty jealously can impact power positions at a dangerous level.

Quan has worked to squeeze both Russo's City Attorney Office of needed revenue to maintain staff and be effective, and has done the same with the office of Oakland City Auditor Courtney Ruby as well.  And that was through the city's Budget And Finance Commitee, before Quan became Oakland's mayor. Now Jean seems to be wringing her hands and saying "I'm Mayor of Oakland. I can really screw with Russo now," and trying to do so.

Mayor Quan was just elected, and for all practical purposes by a fluke.  Like the election outcome or not, that's a fact.

Because of that, Quan can't overplay her hand, yet she's starting to show signs of doing exactly that.  Quan's laser focus should be on creating jobs in Oakland, and saving California Redevelopment, which is a great tool to use in that effort.  Thinking about how to get even with someone for opinions and views not taken in the past is totally unproductive for a person in a role that's supposed to be about building a city's future.

That's what mayors are elected to do.



99ers March in Solidarity with Wisconsinites - San Diego/Your Town NEXT?




As 99ers March in Solidarity with Wisconsinites, San Diego and your town may be NEXT.

Scott Jeffers, Sussex, WI - Dave& Carol Banks, Racine, WI - C Majors, Milwaukee, WI -Karen King, Madison, WI and 34 other 99ers marched in solidarity with union workers protesting in Madison WI this week, where Ed Schultz of MSNBC held a special broadcast of the Ed Show last night. (Video Below)

The answer is CLEAR: We must scour the news and the net for any rally for any cause and turn it to our 99er advantage. I have been and found this for the San Diego Area: (please spread the word as some of your contacts may have contacts close to here)

[SDCPJ] Tunis, Cairo, now Madison WI; next: SAN DIEGO

Across the world, the sheer force of people, in non-violent but insistent demonstration, is showing that change IS possible. Change for good - change for the needs of common people, and change away from concentrated power, greed and profit at the cost of lives and the public pocketbook.

Now, it is San Diego’s turn. Come out in boisterous demonstration-celebration, to Balboa Park, Saturday March 19. Save the date, plan to be there!


Print signs from the attached (FYI - the invisible man pic in 8 X 10 can also be used as masks by cutting eyes out and light elastic around the back for those who do not wish to be recognized!!! LOLOLOL) and just show up! We must take to the streets and demand our Government stop helping the rich at the expense of the poor. We need JOBS and until we have them we need UI Benefits to survive. We will NOT BE IGNORED any longer!

****NOTE: The following is from U-Cubed on the subject -
What's the core issue in WI, OH and IN? JOBS and the JOBLESS.

Those who have jobs, naturally, want to keep them. And they want the right to vote on how they're paid -- wages, pensions, health care, working conditions -- once the negotiations are over. It's the difference between democracy and autocracy.

It's also about the JOBLESS. They cannot pay taxes on little or zero income. So federal, state and local governments face deficits. And the answer from GOP governors and legislators -- axe employees and slash programs that aid the jobless -- is inane.

So, whether you have a job you'd like to hold on to or you've been unemployed for 99 weeks or more, what's happening in Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana affects you.
Get active. Online. Offline. In State. Out of State.

Because in unity -- there is strength.

And because JOBS and the JOBLESS rise -- or fall -- together.

President Obama Dines With Bay Area Tech Execs; Anyone Black?

P021711PS-0705

Several interesting points to note in the photo from the Technology Business Leaders dinner at Tech Venture Capitalist John Doerr's home in Woodside, California - and placed for media use by the White House at Flickr:

1. Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is sitting on the right of President Obama.
2. Apple Founder and CEO Steve Jobs is on the left of President Obama.
2. Yahoo! CEO Carol Bartz is wearing red and at the background. (No word on if she slipped and used the F-word.)
3. From the looks of things, they're raising a toast to President Obama.
4. Obama is not the only African American at the table; he's joined by Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett, but there are no tech business leaders of color.

On that note, it's not as if there was no one to call; Symantic Chairman John W. Thompson's right there in the Bay Area (pictured at left), and has served on a number of panels of service to government.  Mr. Thompson should have been there.

What's sadder still is that no other media organization reporting on this photo pointed to the lack of a black tech CEO at the dinner table.  

These are some of the same outlets that complain about bloggers.  Well, the reasons why bloggers like me complain about them, is because of the myopia they demonstrate on more than one occasion.  This is one.

But I digress.

What was actually talked about in the room has not been reported, and perhaps never will be.  One sure thing is two of the attendees came away with the President's cell phone number.

Seriously.  

Dave Duerson: 85 Bears Safety Dies Unexpectedly In Miami

O'Hare Airport, Chicago - For reasons not given as of this writing, Dave Duerson, the famous member of the 1985 Chicago Bears Super Bowl Champion Defense, the 1990 New York Giants Super Bowl Champion Defense, and Notre Dame grad, died at 50 years of age.

According to NESN.com, Dave was found dead in his Miami home.

While the cause of death is not known, this blogger can personally express sadness because Duerson was one ND alum who was on hand at Mike Ditka's on the Thursday before the amazing 2005 USC at Notre Dame game that Saturday. Duerson was part of a raging ND party that went on to 2 AM in the morning. No wild antics; just a lot of laughs, great food and people, and Paul Hornung.

The reason I know all about it, is I happened to visit the establishment and to have a cigar in honor of my father, who I'd just laid to rest that day. Someone at Ditka's thought I was Dave Duerson.   The result was a lot of smiles, jokes, and free drinks.

Oh.  In case you're wondering, Duerson was bigger than me by a little bit.

Stay tuned for more on this. Why someone who was described as "looking like he could still play" passed away so mysteriously and so young is strange to say the least.

Oscars Season 2011: Play Along

This year on the site users are able to go through each individual category and view the nominees - afterwards the site users may choose which of the nominated he or she believes will win or which one he or she wants to win.

The opportunity to be involved and help predict which movies and stars will go home with an award is a great way to get fans excited and ensure that they will be tuning in in 11 days to see who wins.

Body Transformation By 21




There have been circumstances beyond my control that have made changes including environmental and situational that have made it so the 30-day-detox could not go as planned. The new plan is to begin with the detox and see how much consistency that can have & then add with that a set of exercises and after the detox adding a diet to abide by and soon it will just become second nature. This is to be completed by June 7, 2011 - the day when I will turn 21. More information will be provided within future blog post, but Debby Kaplan is continuing to help and we will be talking more with one another and finding a way to bring healthiness and a healthier lifestyle to this busy college student.

Government of the fat-cats, by the fat-cats, and for the fat-cats?

This is the United States of America, founded on the principle that there's both a wrong way and a "more perfect" way for government to act.

We have regulations controlling immigration, restricting tobacco and alcohol sales, establishing speed limits, and prohibiting the use of dangerous materials such as lead paint. We embrace regulations about what can’t be in our drinking water, and insuring we have the freedom to practice religion unfettered by the preferences of government agencies or the whims of men.

Not every decision is clear and simple. Our constitution was built deliberately to allow for clarifications and changes over time by wise men who had some notion of the limits on their own forecasting abilities. We've been trying to make good laws - good government regulations - and improve the bad ones ever since.

We have laws about everything from voter registration to verifying the safety & efficacy of drugs because we know we can’t simply trust everybody to do the right thing if there’s no judge or referee. Somehow the GOP has been persuaded to slow down the process of reforming Wall Street’s greedy, self-serving behaviors.

Goldman Sachs protest: Financial Reform Now!We know what happened when we let them call the shots; deregulation served a few very well indeed, while what trickled down to the rest of us was unemployment, foreclosures, and the destruction of the value of the largest asset most working Americans have, their home -- after we'd been encouraged to use it as a way to get credit to fuel corporate profits.

GOP strategists are now stalling reforms in the Senate, by asserting that we need economic analysis before "rushed rule-making." Where were they before the financial crisis in the late summer of 2008 and the resulting recession? I can tell you one thing, they weren't listening to the then-junior Senator from Illinois, who had written letters to the powers that be about what he saw as the looming mortgage lending crisis, but their hindsight may have factored that in.

Enough is enough. Wall Street needs reform if it's to create wealth for the nation instead of for itself. Congress may not get the new laws perfect on the first pass, but that's not news. If all the GOP has is questions, if they can't grasp the risks in leaving the system broken, I say let them step back; it's time to stop spouting sound bites while impeding progress and solutions.

Collective Bargaining Rights



Ohio and Wisconsin are two states that are dealing heavily with collective bargaining rights.

Wisconsin Protestors

The Dayton Daily News online reports that the two states both have Republican governors. Ohio is looking to rein in union labor to battle billions of state budget deficits, and Wisconsin had many rallying (25,000) in opposition to the plan that would eliminate collective bargaining for most public employees.

The Daily News Pulse reports that: "If approved the bill would abolish collective bargaining rights for state employees. It would also affect state agencies, commissions and boards, state institutions of higher educations and set new restrictions on school districts. Additionally, the bill required merit-based pay for most public employees, including teachers, and it removes seniority from decisions regarding reduction in work force for certain public workers."

Some people are even calling this the "anti-union" bill.

Academy Awards: MTV-U 2011 Oscars Correspondent Contest Vote

The Academy Awards is more than just the Oscars, it's Oscar-related events and initiatives. This one, The annual MTV-U Oscars Correspondent Contest, is this blogger's favorite.

 It's a chance for college students to really get an idea of what it's like to be a Red Carpet media correspondent during the Academy Awards. The lucky top three are flown to Hollywood to be a part of pre-Oscars events, and the winning team is actually put to work on The Red Carpet on Oscars Sunday.

This is my video from last year's competition (2010), where Terry Stackhouse and Zach Cusson of Emerson, won over Brandon McCaskill and Kiarra Hart of Florida A&M, and Rachel Berry and Christian Hartnett of Chapman University:

Ok. All done? Now cast your VOTE!

Stay tuned to this space for more Academy Awards info and content. Once again, I'll be on the Red Carpet with the winners, but this time with a group of very cool video-bloggers: Marla Schulman of Life After Kids TV, Jen Friel of Talk Nerdy To Me Lover, and Milena Merrill. Also, Rachel Berry, from the 2010 Competition, will appear to give her take.

Later!

Jessica Alba Uses Twitter And Facebook To Say "I'm Pregnant"

Now that's a great way to use your 1 million Twitter followers! Actress Jessica Alba @jessicaalba sent out this tweet that originated from her Facebook page to tell all that she and husband Cash Warren are expecting their second child:


jessicaalba Jessica Alba
It's been a while since I've been on FB & I thought I'd drop by to let you all in on some exciting news>Honor is... http://fb.me/RCu1R2wY


And here's her original Facebook message with the news of her new status as "Mother to be, again."


Jessica Alba
It's been a while since I've been on FB & I thought I'd drop by to let you all in on some exciting news>Honor is going to be a Big Sister! Cash and I are thrilled and wanted to share the news directly with you so you didn't hear about it somewhere else. I appreciated all of the love and support you all gave me during my first pregnancy and will definitely appreciate it again this time around. Have a great day! Jess


Why is this news?

Some of you may be asking why this is news, and that's a fair question that should be answered here.

Briefly, it works like this.

Jessica Alba has a recognized name. She's played in a number of movie and TV roles, some touching on American Culture's "hot spots," like when she played "Sue Storm" in the Fantastic Four movie series based on the Marvel Comic books of the same name.

Because of that, and her Twitter-staff assisted generation of over 1 million Twitter followers, including a number of media outlets, she's able to start a buzz with a "milestone tweet." Now, if Alba had tweeted that she was drinking water, that would have went nowhere. But being pregnant's a big deal.

The result is a number of blog posts and webpages write about the news. That, in turn, creates more of what I call "Internet real estate" that, in turn, is being click on. More people then use Google to find out more information, and that causes Google Trends to be impacted. Which, causes even more blog and website posts, including this one.

That's how buzz is generated in the 21st Century.

Congratulations to Jessica Alba for becoming a Mom for the second time, and giving a lesson in how to use social media in the process.


How Can 99ers Effect Change / Get Benefits Until They TAKE ACTION?

Exactly how can the 99ers ever effect change or get the benefits they need unless or until they TAKE ACTION consistently? This is the burning question.

The answer is far more complicated than one can imagine. There will always be the few who do not engage in any of the lobbying efforts to persuade Washington to take action to save the longest term unemployed in America. Still with millions of UI exhaustees and millions more about to hit the UI threshold for their own states - one would think every petition, call/fax or email campaign and certainly a Twitter event to assist the 99er cause would be flooded with willing participants - but it does not appear to be true. Even the campaign to email resumes to Congress called for my Jesse Jackson Jr. (D - IL) in 5 weeks time generated less than 100,000 responses by the public at large. What is wrong with this picture?

Everyday 99ers lose their internet and places to live, which accounts for a great deal of those MIAs for the “cause” - but there are thousands of UI exhaustees in the same boat who still manage to get to the public library to help in this epic fight, so motivation may be lacking in many. This is in part a common side effect of the inevitable depression most struggle with during long bouts of unemployment.

Whatever the reason, the 99er Nation simply MUST find a way to get the word out and unite behind One Goal: Get HR 589 to the House Floor and passed. This is the only way to start the ball rolling to get this genuine extension of extra weeks of UI for all eventually signed into law.

Tuesday’s #99erAID Twitter Event was good, but we never even trended in the USA and that is something it should not be difficult to accomplish if we just had enthusiastic participation.

I hear a lot of “If I only had money I would march in Washington DC” - well I really doubt that! If you are not on Twitter yet and are serious about doing whatever you can do to help the cause then get with the program - NO EXCUSES. If you did not participate in the February 15th event - GOOD NEWS - You will have another chance to do so next Tuesday, February 22nd at 8PM EST. It is free and can be done from a cell phone. (George Washington would be proud)

According to the Trenches Worldreport.com article 99ers HR 589 Unemployment Legislation Shot Down In Flames

“HR 589 is shot down this morning. Apparently the House Resolution violated a rule which says any legislation that changes existing law or creates new law cannot be added as an amendment. Unbeknownst to us Barbara Lee tried to attach HR 589 to the Fiscal Year 2011 Continuing Budget Resolution, a stopgap measure that will continue to fund the federal government.

The point of order was initiated by Congressman Denny Rehberg, a Republican from Montana.

The only way the bill can go forward now is through overwhelming support which would require republican support, which is not going to happen. It is disturbing to find out that our greatest advocate Barbara Lee evidently either does not know the House rules or somehow thought she was exempt from them.”

And offered this commentary: “Maybe the proponents of the 99ers will now see that they will never accomplish anything unless they break outside the status quo and the insider buddy buddy system and attack next time with a united 99er force, not only backing them, but participating in the process.”

So 99er Nation - I ask you again: HOW BAD DO YOU WANT THIS?

Do you want it bad enough to take a page from residents of Wisconsin? (see the video below)

Demonstrators gathered in large numbers at the Wisconsin state Capitol on Tuesday, to protest Republican Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal to help close the state's shortfall by removing nearly all collective bargaining rights for public employees.

As the Wisconsin State Journal reports, over 10,000 protestors gathered at the state Capitol building Tuesday, with thousands also crowded inside the building itself.



You do NOT need to get to Washington DC to make this happen. U-Cubed in their unique “local cube” modeling is designed to build a movement from the local level and grow out - to gather the masses required to get our message directly out to the “Powers that be” in terms they cannot ignore! Yet U-Cubed has not yet reached 5,000 members. WTF?

If you want the strength of union membership behind you (like they have in Wisconsin) then the MILLIONS of 99ers need to get off their butts and do what it takes to effect the change they say they need and want.
