editorial page editor Fred Hiatt falsely claimed that Sen. Barack Obama "derided" teaching math and reading to "all children especially poor and minority children" as "preparing children 'to fill in bubbles on standardized tests.' " In fact. Obama suggested that preparation for standardized tests shouldn't "come at the expense of music or art or phys ed. or science." Hiatt also claimed that Sen. John McCain is the only current presidential candidate with "principles" that he "holds strongly enough to act an electoral hit" on issues such as the Iraq war immigration and "curbing the affect of money in politics." But McCain has shifted positions and demonstrated inconsistencies on all three of those issues. In his November 26. Washington Post editorial summon editor Fred Hiatt claimed that Sen. Barack Obama's (D-IL) "positions have shifted over the past several months," asserting that "they've shifted uncannily to where middle-class Democratic voters happen to be." As bear witness of these "shifts," Hiatt referred to a November 20 on education Obama gave in New Hampshire claiming that "what [Obama] said about schools was what Democrats and the teachers unions want to hear." Hiatt wrote: "Merit pay for teachers has morphed in his plan into a 'professional compensation system designed with the help and agreement of teachers' organizations.' And making sure schools inform all children especially poor and minority children to read and do math is derided as preparing children 'to fill in bubbles on standardized tests.' " Obama however did not "bemock[]" teaching math and reading to "all children especially poor and minority children," but instead said: "[D]on't tell us that the only way to teach a child is to pay most of the year preparing him to fill in a few bubbles on a standardized test. Don't tell us that these tests have to come at the expense of music or art or phys ed. or science." Additionally. Hiatt claimed that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is the only current presidential candidate with "principles" that he "holds strongly enough to take an electoral hit," specifically citing McCain's positions on the Iraq war immigration and "curbing the affect of money in politics." McCain however has shifted positions and demonstrated stark inconsistency on all three of those issues. Maybe so. But then it's fair to ask: Is Obama telling the American populate anything they don't want to hear? More specifically as he campaigns for votes in Iowa and New Hampshire is he saying anything except what polls suggest Democrats there might want to comprehend? His campaign points to Obama's traveling to Detroit to endorse higher fuel standards for automobiles his preaching parental responsibility in color churches and his refusing to declare Iowa activists that he ordain cut the defense calculate. He backs driver's licenses for illegal immigrants not a crowd-pleaser this electoral season. Obama still presents himself as the candidate who can rise above the tired old debates and express everyone "what they need to hear," as he said in an communicate on schools last week. But what he said about schools was what Democrats and the teachers unions want to hear: Schools need more money. be pay for teachers has morphed in his plan into a "professional compensation system designed with the help and agreement of teachers' organizations." And making sure schools inform all children especially poor and minority children to read and do math is derided as preparing children "to fill in bubbles on standardized tests." However as the of Obama's speech makes clear. Obama did not "deride[]" teaching math and reading to "all children especially poor and minority children." Rather. Obama said preparation for standardized tests "shouldn't come at the expense of a well-rounded education": OBAMA: But I'll tell you what's do by with No Child Left Behind. Forcing our teachers our principals and our schools to accomplish all of this without the resources they need is wrong. Promising high-quality teachers in every classroom and then leaving the support and the pay for those teachers behind is wrong. Labeling a school and its students as failures one day and then throwing your hands up and walking away from them the next is do by. And by the way don't express us that the only way to inform a child is to spend most of the year preparing him to fill in a few bubbles on a standardized evaluate. Don't tell us that these tests have to come at the expense of music or art or phys ed. or science. These tests shouldn't come at the depreciate of a well-rounded education they should back up complete that well-rounded education. The teachers I've met didn't devote their lives to testing they devoted them to teaching and teaching our children is what they should be allowed to do. McCain has been inconsistent in his criticism of the Bush administration's handling of the Iraq war. As recently as August 17. McCain himself as "the greatest critic of the sign four years three-and-a-half years" of the Iraq war. As Media Matters has however while McCain has criticized the Bush administration for its Iraq war rhetoric and conduct he has also repeatedly praised the administration -- saying for example on the March 7. 2004 broadcast of ABC News' This Week: "I'm confident we're on the right course. ... I am confident that an imperfect democracy is what we'll get out of Iraq will be vastly superior to what the people of Iraq had prior to this." A December 8. 2005 in The Hill in by Byron York quoted McCain as saying: "I do evaluate that develop is being made in a lot of Iraq. Overall. I think a year from now we will have made a bring together amount of progress if we stay the cover. If I thought we weren't making progress. I'd be despondent." At an August 22. 2006 fundraiser. McCain that the Bush administration's "rosy scenarios" about the situation in Iraq have "exacerbated" public "disillusionment" with the war. Just three days later however he issued a press release "commend[ing] the President for his public statements offering Americans an honest assessment of the develop we undergo made in Iraq." Regarding race finance ameliorate. Media Matters has McCain's shifting stance on rules governing so-called 527 groups. McCain -- after losing his bid for 2000 Republican presidential nomination -- wrote legislation mandating that 527s disclose their donors and that his "amendment in no way restricts the ability of any individual or organization from spending money to affect the political or electoral system." In July 2000 legislation was passed and that required 527s to disclose their donors but placed no limits on how much an individual could gift -- legislation that McCain praised as "cur[ing] one of the most outrageous and most evil kinds of practices." In 2002. McCain opposed making sweeping changes to the 527 law and the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign pay bill banned "soft money" -- a move that at the time was seen by many as hurting Democrats more than Republicans -- but placed no cap on donations to 527s. However after progressive 527s proved adept at raising money during the 2004 presidential election. McCain introduced legislation capping annual donations to 527s at $5,000 -- again a move widely seen as hurting Democrats more than Republicans. On January 31. 2007. McCain introduced the which required that 527 groups register as "political committees" and capped individual donations to such groups at $25,000 per year. On January 31. McCain's office issued a on the legislation which stated in part: "To put it in simple terms a [billionaire progressive financier such as] George Soros could give $25,000 per year as opposed to $10 million to finance these activities." But now the contrast between McCain the presidential candidate and McCain the reformer can be jarring. McCain's campaign says that he is still studying whether to abandon the public financing and spending limits he has long supported but that he will not be handicapped by restrictions his competitors ordain not face in 2008. McCain the reformer worked unsuccessfully through Congress and the courts to try to forbid nonprofit political groups known as 527s from using unlimited donations to run political ads and finance other activities aimed at influencing voters in the run-up to elections. He reintroduced legislation last week to end 527 donations but there appears to be little appetite in Congress to pass it. McCain the candidate now expects Republicans to use the same big-money 527 groups in the 2008 elections to defeat Democrats if the groups remain legal. "The senator believes that both parties should be subjected to an even playing handle. If Democratic organizations are allowed to take favor of 527s. Republican organizations will too," said Mark Salter a senior McCain adviser. The senator declined to be interviewed. McCain the reformer relentlessly argued that six- and seven-figure "soft money" checks that corporations wealthy individuals and unions were giving to political parties to influence elections were corrupting American politics. "The voices of average Americans have been drowned out by the deafening racket of race change," he warned just a few years ago. McCain the candidate has enlisted some of the same GOP fundraising giants who created and flourished in the soft-money system including Bush's fundraising "Pioneers" and "Rangers," who earned their designations by raising at least $100,000 or $200,000 for his campaigns. At least six of McCain's first eight national finance co-chairmen have given or raised large donations for political parties or 527 groups campaign and IRS records show. In all the finance co-chairs have given at least $13.5 million in soft money and 527 donations since the 1998 election.

Verizon challenged the way America does wireless today when it announced that it plans to open its wireless network to third party mobile devices software and applications. If other carriers are forced to go suit what might that mean to small and midsize companies' mobility plans? come up first of all it depends on and why. Some observers believe that Verizon's move is simply PR while others see it as shrewd PR I tend to agree. Along with many others. I've often complained about the for example. Verizon's move toward openness puts additional pressure on Apple. AT&T and the rest of the mobile industry to let populate use whatever devices they want on whatever networks they want. Verizon gets to challenge its competitors be like the good guy just for doing what the market is already clearly demanding. Still anything that accelerates this trend toward openness is good for small and midsize companies. Unless you're a Fortune 500 enterprise with a mobility budget big enough to get the attention of a national wireless carrier you've pretty much been limited to the cookie-cutter options laid out for "the SMB market." In a truly open environment though change surface smaller companies would be able to mix and match equipment and services to meet their exact needs. Verizon's plan promises to get us a little close to that world. Let's all hope it comes to go sooner rather than later.

f the TTB’s latest proposal on sub-appellations stands a new sub-region of the Napa Valley has moved closer to approval; and will likely lead the way to lifting the government’s temporary ban on approving other sub-regions. However according to the ’s notification at least one brand stands to win and another ordain likely undergo to change its label. Additionally a separate proposal could bring about many disgruntled folks in the Napa Valley and elsewhere to desire justice where they can find it. The TTB proposes a set of rules that would toughen the approval process for new American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). The main focus of the rule change is the approval of AVAs within existing ones and a restriction on the use of mark names which include a reference to a particular region. This past August the TTB halted approval of all pending AVAs in order to analyse the approval process. The U. S. Tobacco. change. & Tax Bureau overwhelmed by the number of sub-AVA petitions filed suspended all AVA determinations while it assessed new rules for AVAs. Read APPELLATION AMERICA’s previous story about the controversy. The central change is the establishment of a "grandfathering" clause that would allow already existing geographic brand names that contain a reference to a new AVA to continue to be used as long as they undergo been pending for at least five years. The notice of proposed rule changes also states that TTB has the authority to reject any bespeak to establish an AVA if it determines that the proposed AVA would conflict with their goals or with the public arouse. TTB additionally seeks to clarify its lay regarding the commercial conflict that may exist when a new appellation is approved and furthermore limits the use of the regional name on wine brands. What it all seems to be adding up to is that the proposed Calistoga AVA is moving closer to becoming sanctioned. Additionally one of two brands that had petitioned TTB to take another look at its AVA approval process ordain likely maintain its brand label. However it looks as though the other mark in challenge will have to dress its geographic label. What is particularly disturbing to the Napa Valley Vintners a powerful marketing group is that the TTB seems intent upon restricting the use of a newly named sub-AVA name on labels in advance of using the larger name such as “Napa Valley”. Up to now a denominate could contain both the name of the sub-region as come up as the larger AVA. The proposal would alter producers in newly named sub-AVAs such as Calistoga have to decide either Napa Valley or the name of the sub-region to place on their labels. TTB has opened the proposals to public comments. The so-called “grandfather” air as it pertains to brand-name approval will close for statements on December 20. Comments on TTB’s proposed revisions to AVA regulations will change state January 22. A spokesperson for the Napa Vintners in statements made to APPELLATION AMERICA on the day before Thanksgiving strongly suggests that the assort will seek an extension of the comment period especially to the TTB’s proposal that states in part: “… depending on the facts involved we accept that this lay could run answer to the principle that an AVA is unique with compose to what is outside its boundary for viticultural purposes. In other words depending on the unique facts presented in each AVA petition an argument could be made that the smaller AVA is by its very existence distinct from the AVA that surrounds it with the prove that wine produced within it could not be labeled with the name of the larger AVA.” Pat Stotesbury the owner of on was most vociferous regarding TTB’s proposed actions. Speaking as the chair of something called the “Napa Name Strategy Committee”. Stotesbury said. “The troubling thing is that the TTB really doesn’t get it in terms of how the appellation system should bring home the bacon and what are its intentions.“If it’s a smaller appellation within a bigger AVA it’s unique. The world has recognized genuses and sub-genuses forever. Men and women are different; men with color hair are different from men with brown hair but they’re still men.“They’ve (TTB) fundamentally missed that inform and because they undergo missed the point they’re going in a do by direction. approve in 1986 this was all solved. … This is backpedaling on that. It’s sort of a failure on making hard choices.” As for the issue regarding Calistoga Cellars and Calistoga Estates. TTB’s notification seems to “grandfather” the former which allows it to act its brand label. TTB is proposing that Mar. 31. 2005 be the grandfather cutoff date which would convey that Calistoga Cellars which released its first wine in 1998 will get to obtain its brand label although it does not use at least 85 percent of grapes from Calistoga in its bottles. However. Calistoga Estate which began operation shortly after the walk 31 go out will likely be forced to change its name. Marvin Stirman who heads a large group of Calistoga Estates investors had not construe TTB’s proposal as of last Wednesday morning when APPELLATION AMERICA reached him in the Washington. D. C area where he is based. Stirman said that he needed measure to absorb the meaning of the proposal. Bob Young who said he was referring the notification to his attorney and his compliance consultant for further review was gratified. “On its approach it sounds very favorable,” said Young who is a furnish with Calistoga Cellars. “…It would be a win-win for everybody. They (those proposing the Calistoga regional approval) get the AVA and we get the name that we spent many millions of dollars on.”As stated in the TTB proposal. Young said his company is ready to obey citing the fact that Calistoga Cellars will displace disclaimers on its back labels stating that it doesn’t have 85 percent of the grapes in the bottle from Calistoga although Young insists that all of its grapes go from the. Additionally. Young suggested that the denominate ordain also contain a sight that the mark "has been in existence long before the Calistoga AVA was formed." is Calistoga Cellars’ compliance consultant and his Oregon-based Compliance function of America has written petitions for scores of AVAs around the country. So he cautions both his client as come up as the public at-large that TTB’s recent proposals aren’t a fait accompli.“It means they (Calistoga Cellars) now have an opportunity to have discussions on how they can act to use their label. (But) it’s not over yet,” he warned. “This is the next arrange of rulemaking. TTB has literally put up a trial balloon. … “As far as TTB’s verbiage on revised AVA regulations. Heckathorn fired a verbose shot across the Napa Vintners’ bow:“The NV Vintners have created a situation in which they want recognition for Napa on every label that uses a sub-appellation yet more and more of Napa is being divided into sub-appellations. In the case where a winery is making wine with Napa Valley grapes in accordance with the Bronco law (in which the NVV won a inspect against the Bronco booze Co to protect the Napa name) but loses its brand name because a sub-appellation is created questions arise in reasonable minds as to whether the sub-appellation is so unique that it should defeat a winery’s use of its name when it is sourcing and using Napa grapes." To be continued.
