There is always a reason why these giant pachyderms go rogue, and here in this report we seemed to be able to define this one clearly: if then the tusk were actually growing into the flesh of the cheek or jaw, we must keep a guard day and night, for as the pain grew worse he would become the killer, taking everything before him in wild stampedes. I tell my kids now that I'll wring their necks if they do what I did. I enjoyed how she did not put up with the good ole boys, also how family came first for her. Conservative radio talk show host John Ziegler [30] praised Going Rogue as "the best book and greatest literary achievement by a political figure in my lifetime" and as showing honesty "the type of which can only come from someone incredibly courageous, grounded, and self- aware". Between nuclear-level contractions, I couldn'r climb into our truck, so I squeezed sideways and backward into the passenger seat of Mom's Subaru, my belly poking out like a medicine ball, and Todd drove me ro Valley Hospital.

Still in the RTL booth, Piper said she was ready to go. Pro-life and pro-adoption groups affirm the power and strength of women.

It was evident during my years on the council that the mayor and I had sharply differing ideas about the future of Wasilla and how to make that future happen. Going Rogue: An American Life Reviews I loved those guys a lot, but I looked at them all like brothers. They know. The next year a beautiful, healthy baby girl joined our family on Ocrober 18, Alaska Day. Thete ate tough conditions in some villages, and the hatsh citcumstances lead some to abuse both alcohol and each othet, and societal ills that include despondency and suicides. I got into the habit of reading Scripture before I got out of bed every morning and making sure it was the last thing I did at night. Alaska is home to seventeen of the twenty highest peaks in North America, in addition to other wonders, like the ever-shifting. But when he saw me wrinkle my nose and shake my head slightly, he set them aside. And the fallout yielded more fallout-not only bankruptcies and foreclosures, but due to poor choices sometimes made in the face ofadverse circumstances divorces, alcohol abuse, and even suicides. It is "political. Into the KMBQ radio studio I brought my hungry, grumpy baby in a Snugli, and the only way to calm Willow was to inconspicuously nurse her while we rolled tape.

Donald Trump has only been president for a few months, but he has already done more to debase United States foreign policy than any chief executive in memory. He has gutted the State Department, purging its senior leadership and vowing to slash its budget by over one-third. He has scuttled the Trans-Pacific Partnership, condemned the North American Free Trade Agreement, called the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ‘obsolete,’ and threatened to defund the United Nations. He has harangued or otherwise insulted U.S. allies like German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe while cozying up to dictators like Russian President Vladimir Putin and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. He has flip- flopped on such crucial matters as the ‘one China policy’ and the ‘two-state formula’ for Israeli- Palestinian peace. He has ratcheted up tensions with North Korea, approved an ill-thought-out mission to Yemen, and launched massive but ultimately meaningless assaults in Afghanistan and Syria.

  • 58174 Journalism School-Journal PPG.Indd
    Columbia Journalism School | Tow Center for Digital Journalism Chapter 6 Aggregation: ‘Shameless’ – and Essential A group of middle school students at Brooklyn’s Urban Assembly Academy of Arts and Letters got a special treat one March afternoon in 2011. Just five weeks after the announcement of the $315 million deal in which AOL acquired Huffington Post, AOL’s chief executive, Tim Armstrong, and Arianna Huffington, HuffPost’s co-founder, came to the school to teach a class in journalism. The lesson—or what one could see of it in the short, treacly video account that ran on the Huffington Post—may have told more about the future of the news business than what either Huffington or Armstrong intended.1 A few mo- ments after the video begins, an official of the program that arranged the visit speaks to the camera: “We are delighted that Arianna Huffington and Tim Arm- strong are going to be teaching a lesson on journalism.” What the video showed, though, wasn’t a lesson in how to cover a city council meeting, or how to write on deadline. Instead, the teacher in the classroom told her students, “We’re going to give you headlines that we pulled from newspapers all over the place, and you guys are going to place them and decide what type of news they are.” This, then, was a lesson in aggregation—the technique that built Huffington’s site up to the point that AOL wanted to buy it. In just six years, Huffington has built her site from an idea into a real competi- tor—at least in the size of its audience—with the New York Times.

    Plaintiffs' Exhibit US v. Apple 12-cv-02826 HarperCollins CEO Report PX-0312 November 2009 Second Quarter Performance The current estimate for the second quarter is to come in at approximately $50 million in profit, as compared with $24 million in the prior year. The biggest drivers being (1) from the Tolkien settlement (2) the release of th e Sarah Palin book (2 million copies shipped in November) and (3) the success of the Children 's Division. With the exception of Zondervan, all divisions are expected to meet or exceed plan for the quarter. Second Quarter Best Sellers General Books Business A very strong list of bestsellers is more than offsetting declining backlist sales. Going Rogue, SuperFreakonomics, The Lacuna, Pioneer Woman Cooks and Pirate Latitudes are all performing better than expected. Additionally strong trade paperbacks continue to be the most robust format with resistance to non- essential hardcover purchases. Ebooks are continuing to grow and are approaching 4% of sales for the General Books group. Our daily backlist and reorder sales rate is averaging 1.3M per day compared to the prior year of 1.4M per day reflecting an overall trend in the industry. Childrens Business The Teen category is one of the few areas with double digit growth prospects and the division is successfully publishing into the genre with series such as The Vampire Diaries. Picture books is a flat to declining market although within the genre, hardcover dominates and our division currently has one of the hottest properties with the Fancy Nancy titles. Backlist remains relatively flat with prior year with the exception of titles connected to a movie such as Where the Wild Things Are.

This article scrutinises her rhetoric and argues that she crafted and performed a brand or ethos that resonated with common-sense conservatism, while at the same time reinforcing and popularising this doctrine. The article discerns the epistemological and ontological premises of Palin’s ideological position and probes how she used her image as an anti-intellectual, frontier individual to speak common sense and to advocate free-market ideology and climate denialism.

  • The Rhetoric of Rogue Ethos: Chris Christie's Swing from “Boss”
    Journal of Contemporary Rhetoric, Vol. 4, No.1/2, 2014, pp. 19-38. The Rhetoric of Rogue Ethos: Chris Christie’s Swing from “Boss” to “Bully” Jeffrey P. Mehltretter Drury In the span of a year—from January 2013 to January 2014—public perception of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie shifted from viewing him as a “Boss” and rising GOP leader to a “Bully” and a vindictive politician. This essay explains this shift in approval through the concept of “rogue ethos,” loosely translated as rogue credibility, as it applies to Christie’s rhetorical responses to Hurricane Sandy relief and the George Washington Bridge scandal. I argue that Christie’s rhetoric provided conflicting constructions of his status as a leader. More precisely, Christie framed his response to Sandy relief from a moral standpoint of republican leadership while he framed his bridge scandal response from a personal, and hence selfish, vantage point that contradicted the earlier ethos. These two situations underscore the importance of community values undergirding rogue conduct and help theorize the risks of rogue ethos. Key Words: Chris Christie, rogue, ethos, political rhetoric, value appeals Throughout 2013, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was a rising star of the GOP with wide cross-over appeal. In January, TIME magazine’s cover story labeled him “The Boss.”1 In Febru- ary, USA Today championed Christie as the GOP’s “best bet” for a White House bid in 2016, noting that he has “the highest approval rating of any governor in the country.”2 A June Gallup survey of more than 1,500 U.S.
