Should Al Gore Return Oscar? Peace Prize?

Gore Should Give Back Oscar, Two Academy Members Say
Friday, December 4, 2009 1:05 PM
By: James Hirsen Article Font Size
Two members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have called on the group to take back the Oscar awarded to former Vice President Al Gore for the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."
Roger L. Simon and Lionel Chetwynd made the request based on the e-mails that a hacker/whistle blower released revealing that so-called scientists at the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in England systematically falsifying data to support the theory that the earth is heating up and that humans caused it.
"An Inconvenient Truth," a film based on a climate-change speech that Gore developed, won the Academy Award for best documentary feature in 2007. (Coincidentally, the next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research uncovered that Gore’s Nashville home guzzled 20 times more electricity than the average American household. )
That same year, the Academy elevated Gore's PowerPoint lecture, helping him to snag a Nobel Peace Prize as well.
The academy members' request that Gore return his statue is happening as preparations are under way for next week's United Nations climate change meeting in Copenhagen, where 16,500 people from 192 countries will fly in using private jets, consume 200,000 meals, and produce an estimated 41,000 tons of carbon dioxide, roughly the same as the carbon emissions of Morocco in 2006.

Some idiots out there have "evidence" that the Holocaust was all a shame. Maybe Steven Spielberg should return his Oscar for Schindler's List?

The peace prize was shown to be a sham when Obama won this year. No meaning to that prize anymore.
As far as Academy Awards, Liberal actors are the only ones that are valued by Hollywood so who cares?

Sarah Palin might launch Presidential bid at Iowa book-signing tour
Please, Lord, Please! Make it stop! Make the Republicans stop drinking.
There is mounting speculation that the former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is going to announce a possible presidential bid with a stop in Iowa during her national book-signing tour.
This is being speculated because Iowa’s caucuses have traditionally launched the presidential nominating season.

Sorry, but I subbed out English courses for Fashion Merchandising at the sixteen different schools I attended to get my Bachelor's degree. My supporters are stupid, so they will understand my rogue speak. Here's my educational background. Notice my major is Communications.
- Hawaii Pacific University in the Fall of 1982,
- North Idaho College in the Spring and Fall of 1983,
- University of Idaho in the Fall of 1984 and Spring of 1985,
- Matanuska-Susitna College in the Fall of 1985,
- University of Idaho again in the Spring and Fall of 1986 and the Fall of 1987, when she received her Bachelor's degree in COMMUNICATIONS.

I see how it is more complicated to duplicate. The birth dates are raised lettering like credit card numbers. The birth date is also in a number of spots like on the back carved into the plastic covering.
However, I think with some work and practice a person could duplicate it.

Interesting this is they the VA ABC says you should spot a fake ID. I thought the A-ask section was clever.
F-L-A-G is a simple way to remember how to properly check IDs
F - Feel
* Have the customer remove the ID from their wallet or plastic holder. You may see another ID in their wallet.
* Feel for raised edges, glue lines or bumpy surfaces by the photo or birth date. Uneven surfaces often indicate tampering. Feel for cut-out or pasted information.
* Check the thickness of the ID. Check to see if it was re-laminated after changing some of the information.
L - Look
* Photograph - Does it look like the person in front of you? Hairstyles and makeup can change, so focus your attention on the person's eyes, nose and chin. When checking men with beards or mustaches, cover the facial hair portion of the photo and concentrate on the eyes, nose or ears.
* Height and weight - Do they reasonably match the person?
* State seal - Is it on the ID and is it in the correct place?
* Date of birth - Is the person old enough? Figure the math or look at the "Under 21 Until" portion of the ID.
* Age on ID vs. Appearance - Does the person in front of you match the age on the ID?
* Expiration date - Is the ID expired? Expired IDs are unacceptable.
* Lamination - Are the cuts or corners/edges straight or crooked?
A - Ask
* Ask for their middle name, zodiac sign or year of high school graduation. If someone has to think about his or her sign or when they graduated, the ID may be false.
* Ask the birth month. If the person responds with a number rather than the name of the month, they may be lying.
* If the customer is with a companion, ask the companion to quickly tell you the customer's name. Any hesitation may indicate deception.
* Ask the customer to sign his/her name and then compare the signatures to the ID. Sometimes if the ID is false, the customer will sign his or her true name, rather than the one on the ID.
G - Give Back
* Give the ID back to the customer and make the sale if the ID is valid.
* If the ID is fake or altered, you must return the ID.

A Hispanic male robbed the Bob Evans off rt 123 Sunday night. He was wearing a grey hoody, surgical gloves and a black mask. Police arrived about 10 minutes later. Canine and Helicopter did not locate any possible suspects.
The robber had possible cuts on his hands. The cash amount of the take was estimated to be $10,000. It is thought that robber had knowledge of the back room area of the Bob Evans.

We see all and know all. Police stopped three Hispanic males but after closer investigation they did not fit the description.
The fact that the person knew the backroom probably leads to a connection with an employee.

You wouldn't want to take 123 because there are too many lights and too much traffic.

Hispanic male?
Well that really narrows it down.
Last time I checked, the term Hispanic could mean several different things.
There are many different types of people who could fall fit into the Hispanic category.
Paul Gasol a whitey
Sammy Sosa a darkie
George Lopez a beaner
So please be more specific.
What kind of Hispanic was it?

Might want to check your own sources. It seems you can't quote previous sections of your own statements too well either.

COPENHAGEN—“Politicians talk, leaders act” read the sign outside the Bella Center in Copenhagen on the opening day of the United Nations climate summit. Inside the convention center, the official delegations from 192 countries, hundreds of NGOs (nongovernmental organizations)—an estimated 15,000 people in all—are engaging in two weeks of meetings aiming for a global agreement to stave off catastrophic global climate change. Five thousand journalists are covering the event.
Outside, Copenhagen has been transformed into a vibrant, global hub of climate-change activism, forums and protest planning. In one square, an ice sculpture of a polar bear melts day by day, and an open-air exhibit of towering photos displays “100 places to remember that will disappear.”
While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this week designated carbon dioxide as a threat to health, President Barack Obama has said that there will not be a binding agreement from this summit. Many see the U.S. as a key obstacle to it and are seizing the opportunity to assert a leadership role in what environmental writer and activist Bill McKibben has described as “the most important diplomatic gathering in the world’s history.” At stake are not only the rules that will govern entire economies, driven for well more than a century by fossil fuels, but the very existence of some nations and cultures, from the tropics to the arctic.
The Republic of Maldives, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, sent 15-year-old Mohamed Axam Maumoon as a climate ambassador. After attending the Children’s Climate Forum, he told me, “We are living at the very edge ... because our country is so fragile, only protected by the natural barriers, such as the coral reefs and the white sandy beaches.”
Most of the 200 inhabited islands of the Maldives are at most 3 feet above sea level, and projected sea-level rises would inundate his country. Even at his age, Axam comprehends the enormity of the threat he and his country face, and starkly frames the question he poses to people in the industrialized world: “Would you commit murder, even while we are begging for mercy and begging for you to stop what you’re doing, change your ways and let our children see the future that we want to build for them?”

Farther north, in Arctic Village, Alaska, indigenous people are fighting to survive. Sarah James is an elder and a chair member of the Gwich’in Steering Committee. I met her at the Klimaforum09, dubbed “The People’s Summit,” where she told me: “Climate change, global warming is real in the Arctic. There’s a lot of erosion, because permafrost is melting. ... And last summer, there was a fire all summer long, no visibility. Last spring, 20 villages got flooded along the Yukon. Sixty villages within the Yukon area never got their fish.”
Emerging economies like China and India are growing rapidly and are becoming first-rate carbon emitters, yet none approaches the per capita emission levels of the United States. With just 4 percent of the world’s population, the U.S. produces about a quarter of the world’s greenhouse gases. The model for the past century has been clear: If you want to escape poverty, grow your economy by industrializing with fossil fuels as your main source of energy. Yet the wealthy nations have not been willing to pay for the environmental damage they have caused, nor significantly change the way they operate.
Author Ross Gelbspan says poverty is at the root of the problem: Take care of poverty, and humanity can solve the climate crisis. He says retooling the planet for a green economy can be the largest jobs program in history, can create more equality among nations, and is necessary, immediately, to avoid catastrophe.
Tuesday, between sessions at the Bella Center, in the cafe area packed with thousands, a group of activists dressed as space aliens, in white spacesuits and with green skin and goggles, walked in. “Take us to your climate leaders!” they demanded. “Show us your binding treaty!” In the rarified diplomatic atmosphere of the summit, such antics stand out. But the calls from the developing world, both inside and outside the summit, to cut emissions and to compensate countries, from Africa to Asia and Latin America, for the devastating effects of global warming they did not cause are no laughing matter.
Protesters are planning confrontations as more than 100 world leaders descend on Copenhagen next week. The battle cry at the Klimaforum09 is “Mobilize, Resist, Transform.” The people are leading, while the politicians talk.
