Gather round, gather round!A fellow blogger and friend of mine came up with this roundtable topic and while I initially dismissed it because i'm kinda sick of talking about it, I haven't been able to get it out of my head for the past couple days. It's a topic i've got a lot to say about and it's one I really haven't addressed too in depth on here yet, so let's get into it.Does violence in works

A blogger friend of mine and myself came up with the idea the other night of getting a little horror blog roundtable going where we'd get a couple bloggers in a group (virtually...don't worry, we'd never have to actually leave our houses and meet in person) and every so often ask a general question about the genre and each blogger would give their thoughts on that subject on his or her own blog.

As part of Mondesi's House Readers Rule Week (Sponsored by Champion), I decided to pick a few of my loyal emailers out of the crowd and corner them for a few of their views on some "big-picture" Pittsburgh sports questions. Luckily, they took me up on my offer and contributed to what I think is a really interesting discussion about Pittsburgh sports.This is the second of two parts.The members of p

I wrote a post last week on Mediaweek's new monthly editorial section dedicated to out-of-home media dubbed "Out There." To usher in the new section, Mediaweek brought together a group of high-level media executives to discuss various facets of the out-of-home media industry. The video above is Part 1 of the Five-Part roundtable discussion. The participants included:- Joe Philport: President, Traffic Audit Bureau- Coleen Kuehn: EVP - Chief Strategist, Havas Media- Greg Castrnuovo: SVP - Entertainment, Initiative- Mark Kaline: Global Media Manager, Ford- Erwin Ephron: President, Ephron ConsultingThe discussion centered around key themes, such as: Out of Home's Role in Marketing, Engaging the Consumer, The Need for Measurement, and Getting a Larger Share of Budget.If you are interested in me

In this week's edition, we look at who do we think will be the best of the undrafted players. Here is a link to Tim Dierkes' post for the Fantasy Roundtable. My pick was Jake Westbrook. The criteria was that the player had to have an ADP lower than 276 according to Mock Draft Central.

This week's Fantasy Roundtable, courtesy of The Roto Professor Here is a link to this week's Roundtable. The question: who do you prefer, Nick Markakis, Hunter Pence or Corey Hart? My thought when I read the question was that it was close between Hart and Markakis, but that Pence wasn't even close. That seems to be a general opinion since everyone in the Roundtable picked either Hart or

This week the Roundtable discusses whether to go for a top five catcher. Head on over to Greener on the Other Side for this week's responses. It looks like there is general (forgive the pun) agreement to eschew a top five catcher. But it is not unanimous, with a well reasoned dissent.

Without further ado, here is the first roundtable of the new venture: who do you prefer in 2008, Ryan Howard or Prince Fielder? The Generals:I go for Howard in a very close contest. It is all about regression to the mean. Howard has the highest power rating in the majors. His contact rate stinks and depresses his BA, but in that park and assuming good health he is as close to a lock for 45 HR

This is hopefully going to become a regular feature. We are going to have a "roundtable" response on one interesting question every week. To start: Which player 25 and under has the best chance at 3,000 hits? This is pure speculation but good speculation. To the Generals I posed the following: What player age 25 and under has the best chance at 3,000 hits? Here are the responses: Andrew Cleary

by nscYesterday MDG sent me an email that asked me to answer some questions about the Bulldogs and the WAC as a whole. Personally I think these questions are great for a blog. I have decided that since we do not play for ten more days I am going to do blogs such as this one today. Anyhow on to the questions asked by the Texas Longhorns Blog Burnt Orange Nation. What's a BlogPoll Roundtable? Bloggers/BlogPoll voters use these questions as an opportunity to learn more about the teams our colleagues follow most closely.1) Handicap Fresno State's chances to win the WAC. If Fresno State is not the favorite then who is?First off let me say I think the Bulldogs have a very good shot at winning the WAC this season. The reason for my optimism is the schedule. Fresno State in my eyes has one of the most favorable WAC schedules this season (aside Hawaii of course). Because the Bulldogs are such a young team they will need a large amount of confidence going into the game at Hawaii. Having the f

Today we held a meeting in Walnut Creek, CA. to introduce a strategy known as the "Deferred Sales Trust" to a group of elite Executive Level Brokers and Realtors.  The program was sponsored by QFN out of Sacramento, CA.  The CEO / PRESIDENT Daniel Ahmad was the presenter of this optional strategy for Sellers, that can also be used all across the Country.  We had 13 Top Producing REALTORS / BROKERS from both Contra Costa and Solano Counties in attendance.  There were several reasons we wanted to introduce this strategy, and have a group of trusted and reputable Real Estates Professionals as a focus group:1. To provide the ability to help sellers with this new "Deferred" tax strategy2. To open new opportunities and doors which will increase listings and referral business3. To help agents get educated on the DST in the event a seller may have been introduced to it by their CPA or Financial Planner, or heard about it from a family member or neighbor (no surprises)The group met

A Democrat Presidential Debate is scheduled for tonight on CNN. What makes this debate interesting, excluding the fact that the campaigning in the media began moments after we went to the polls last November, is something that many are aware of; that being the sponsorship of the debate by CNN and Youtube. I cringe to contemplate faux sincerity from the candidates in response to a question asked by a “real live” previously recorded video of an American citizen. How this will improve upon the debates is anyone’s question, but one thing is for sure (maybe) that viewer ship should be up. In this day and age of internet and “reality show” fame many, like the Obama girl will jump at the opportunity to be seen and heard; although as with everything those selected will still be a small minority of those that submitted. Politics these days has become more and more about image over substance. Mind you this is nothing new, but technology, savvy production, techo looking sets

Microsoft eyes future of teleconferencing with RoundTable, a product that is scheduled to debut by mid-2007. RoundTable is a table-top device, not much bigger than a traditional speaker phone at the base. It can be connected to a standard PC to offer synchronized voice and video conferencing. The device creates a 360-degree, panoramic video of side-by-side images of everyone who is taking part in the conference. It tracks the flow of the conversation, so the image and voice of the person who is speaking are spotlighted. People across many locations can attend meetings together virtually. The product which was termed as RingCam would be in market for around $3000The product is ideal for the two types of conferenced business meetings. First, there’s the meeting with two groups of people in two different conference rooms in different locations. If there’s a RoundTable in each room, the devices will capture a 360-degree view of each, and meld together images of each person on the monit

After reviewing your comments and based on the video discussed in the last article, I’ve decided to review some of the general themes often cited by opponents of psychiatry.  Here is the first anti-psychiatry argument. Psychiatry applies subjective labels to patients. Do we do more harm than good when we define patients’ conditions based on commonly accepted labeling guidelines?  How valid are the guidelines?  Presumably, using established rating scales, the clinician can more objectively formulate a diagnosis. Or can they? In the field of medicine, the patient’s account is termed “subjective” and the physician’s “objective.”  The physician is charged with processing the patient’s statements under an objective lens by utilizing various medical tools.  Psychiatry, as a medical discipline, functions in the same manner; however, at the moment it does not benefit extensively from the “scientific” biochemical tests and

Our last roundtable incited much commentary on the anti-psychiatry movement, especially from Scientology perspectives. I find that the movement is gaining popularity (at least, online) from circles even beyond followers of the Church. The topic should be intensively discussed to understand all sides of the issue and the GNIF Brain Blogger will harbor an open forum. First, as neither a member nor scholar of this religion/organization, I turn to you for information by addressing a few questions: What is the Church’s stance on modern medicine, psychiatry, and biomedical research? To what do you attribute physical and mental ailments? What drugs, medications, and other medical treatments are prohibited and why? How should followers manage mental health issues? Please post your reactions at our new forum. Please register to secure a user name, select an avatar, and create new topics. However, guests can post replies.

The psychiatric profession is under attack by the Church of Scientology. The Citizens Commission on Human Rights, a Scientology advocacy group, released an intense “documentary” called “Psychiatry: An Industry of Death” in 2006. Recently, I stumbled upon a video clip of this pointed film. Interestingly, many videos under the general theme of anti-psychiatry have emerged since Tom Cruise’s outburst on Oprah. After viewing this clip, I would like to know your reactions. Specifically, in this roundtable, let’s aim to establish fruitful discussion on how modern psychiatric practices have benefited or harmed our society, or both. Are people merely misinformed? Can proper nutrition and excerise solve all the disorders of the mind? Are psychotropics more harmful than good? Below, I have outlined a few controversial claims made by the CCHR: Psychiatrists follow a long-standing “master plan” for world domination. Psychiatry is responsible

David Chernushenko, the senior deputy to the leader of the Green Party, has been named to the National Roundtable on Environment and the Economy, a panel that advises the federal government on environmental policy.A written statement from Conservative environment minister Rona Ambrose stated:"With their knowledge and experience, Mr. Chernushenko, Mr. Haig and Dr. Jaccard, will be able to examine the environmental and economic implications of issues brought to the NRTEE and offer judicious advice on how to reconcile these often competing interests with a view to moving society towards a cleaner and healthier Canada."CTV seems to think that it is an attempt by the Conservative government to show that they are consulting across partisan lines:"The move is seen as an attempt by the Tories to deflect some criticism over their handling of the environment file.By reaching across party lines, the Conservatives can claim that they are seeking out all viewpoints and policy advice to cut down on
