Please could you kindly give me the date your news paper publish the below article.
Michael D. Eisner, Chairman of the Walt Disney Company said,” we’re dealing with an industry where an unspoken strategy is that the killer app is piracy, their quarter -to- quarter growth is definitely pushed forward by people wanting to get anything for free on their television or computer or hand-held device” 

it for research purpose.

&lt;b&gt;ccpo:&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;You know Bush lives in an off-grid home, right? Why do you think that is?&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[My God, things change?  How awful!

The only thing certain here is that no one knows anything for certain.  I&#039;m tired of the know-it-alls.  We have some evidence of change and we&#039;re entitled to analyze it and see what we can make of it.  But we&#039;re not entitled -- contrary to Al Gore, the U.N., Dr. James Hansen, the New York Times or anyone else -- to start telling the whole world what kind of a problem it faces or what to do about it.  It&#039;s prudent to evaluate risk and see what measures it may justify.  But so far there&#039;s nothing sufficiently conclusive to go ahead and do anything.  This applies whether the future is cooling or warming.

There&#039;s a point at which you have to take what comes at you and do the best you can.  No matter what we do, humans are not likely to ever be able to control the climate of this planet.  Right now we can&#039;t even predict next week&#039;s weather with any certainly.  How do you expect me to believe we can predict the climate 50 years from now?  The fraud by so many (article above as example) makes it even harder to take this stuff seriously.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My god, the ignorance here is mindboggling. Re: this years is LESS melt than last: and did you not notice the sawtooth nature of the fall? Do you idiots REALLY think it&#039;s linear? 2005 biggest drop ever; 2006 rebound. Ooooh! 2007 new biggest drop ever; 2008 possible rebound. Ooooh! You tools wouldn&#039;t know science if it kicked you if it the balls. 

And who ever told you ANY of this would be linear, or that it ever was? It wasn&#039;t, isn&#039;t, and will never be. So cherry pick your data sets, children, then go throw your spitballs at real scientists. You know the people responsible for your utter foolishness, Exxon and the BuCheney admin now both admit to AGW, right? You know Bush lives in an off-grid home, right? Why do you think that is?

Back to the ice: You dingbats look to EXTENT, but pay no attention to CONCENTRATION. Worse, you pay even less attention to THICKNESS. The total MASS of the ice has dropped 80%. That&#039;s right, it&#039;s not just extent and concentration, but thickness, and we&#039;ve actually lost not some 40+% of the baseline (extent), but 80%. But, hey, there&#039;s nothing going on here!

Idiots.

&lt;strong&gt;REPLY:&lt;/strong&gt; I was going to delete this, but decided to leave it as a textbook example of the kind of rhetoric that I routinely get (and sometimes delete) from anonymous cowards that hide behind a psuedonym and claim moral and intellectual superiority. It always seems to be about anger and Bush with these folks doesn&#039;t it?

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The Alarmist’s narrative would have us believe that the Artic Circle had a constant, thick, and extensive cover of ice until the 1980s. The opposite is probably more true.&quot;

The alarmists narrative is religious in tone (taken from Michael Crichton, but he is right on...)

1) The earth has an &quot;ideal&quot; state that through &quot;sin&quot; we humans have caused it to leave.  In this case (somehow completely ignoring climate history) the ideal state was the temperature average from 1980 to 2000. (I believe ?)

2) That through redemption, (using &quot;renewable&quot;, paying &quot;tithing&quot; (carbon tax), etc) we can &quot;save&quot; the planet.

3) They also view, &quot;tribal life&quot; as more &quot;noble&quot;, than modern life.  But anyone with common sense knows that MOST tribes are savage people.

The entire thing is insane, and it&#039;s absolutely disgusting how the media and corporate america have latched onto the idea, that changing your light bulb or riding the bus, can &quot;save the planet&quot;.  Honestly it makes me sick every time I see a green commercial... it&#039;s just so over the top and ridiculous!!!]]></description>
