| Police Commissioner rejects call to resign
We're not going to be in the business of imposing some sort of media blackout on the reporting of terrorism cases." Mr Rudd expressed full confidence in Mr Keelty: "The Government has its own view and the Government's view is that the media should abide by the laws of the land and I err ... on the side of the media giving full and frank coverage." O'Gorman calls for Keelty's head Australian Council for Civil Liberties president Terry O'Gorman said last night Mr Keelty was unfit to remain as commissioner and should quit. "He should find another job. If he doesn't, the Government should find another job for him," Mr O'Gorman said. "His speech shows he just doesn't get it - the man isn't in the real world because he's lost any sense of balance." Asked last night if he would consider resigning, Mr Keelty said through a spokesman he would not dignify such a question with a response.

When Change Is Not Enough: The Seven Steps to Revolution
In the face of this reversal, Davies tells us, it's not at all surprising that the national mood is turning ominous, from one end of the political spectrum to the other. However, he warns us: this may not be just a passing political storm. In other times and places, this kind of quick decline in a prosperous nation has been a reliable sign of a full-on revolution brewing just ahead. 2. They Call It A Class War Marx called this one true, says Davies. Progressive modern democracies run on mutual trust between classes and a shared vision of the common good that binds widely disparate groups together. Now, we're also about to re-learn the historical lesson that liberals like flat hierarchies, racial and religious tolerance, and easy class mobility not because we're soft-headed and soft-hearted - but because, unlike short-sighted conservatives, we understand that tight social cohesion is our most reliable and powerful bulwark against the kinds of revolutions that bring down great economies, nations and cultures.

When Ricardo accepted the Northern Illinois job, Michael seized the chance to play for his father."I always wanted to play for my father at Colorado," Michael said. "Being so small made it harder to see if I'd be ready for the Big 12 level. Prep school really helped me get ready for the next level.
Lil Find: A Diaper Bag For Pigskin Lovers
I can think of a few football fanatics who would flip for this football diaper bag. They're also liable to slap some "Chargers" or "Patriots" bumper stickers on the tote, but as long as the adhesives stay off the baby's skin, I'm okay with it. The brown vinyl tote is sure to score some serious points with the Super Bowl obsessed parent. .
