"In this Sneak Peek from the episode, 'St. Clair, IL', The correctional officers send the teens to the quiet room. A room where inmates go that are too violent for general population. Find out more about the show and watch full episodes on our site:Beyond Scared Straight ."

This is a really good show and I hope the kids they are trying to speak to, are getting something positive out of it, so these kids don't end up making the same mistakes that these inmates did. That they instead graduate from school, stay out of trouble, and don't have kids before they are ready.

"For 14 years, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez maintained power battling military coups, presidential term limit amendments, even cancer. But for the upcoming elections, a typically fractured opposition is united behind challenger Henrique Capriles Radonski, threatening Chavez's stronghold over the presidency. Ray Suarez reports. PBS News" 

From the PBS NewsHour

If President Hugo Chavez was a Democratic Socialist, he wouldn't have any real issues with a free independent private media. Doesn't mean there wouldn't be any state-run media, but by en-large the media would be privately controlled to hold public officials accountable. 

But you have to know that one of President Chavez's biggest political hero's is former President Fidel Chavez of the Communist Republic of Cuba. So we're not talking about a Social Democrat or Democratic Socialist, but someone with Far-Left authoritarian leanings like Fidel. Perhaps not a hard-core Communist, since Venezuela still somewhat has democratic multi-party elections there and there is a Center-Right liberal democratic opposition there. 

Any Communist in their right mind would have outlawed any political opposition and certainly any private media. But what looks like is going on in Venezuela is that they don't like what the Chavez Administration under the Socialist Party there and what they're doing even if they're not pure Communists and that they want a change there. And to have more freedom and ability to live their own lives. 

Tavis Smiley Show: Jeffrey Sachs- 'A Possible More Progressive President Obama In A 2nd Term'

"Jeffrey Sachs: A Possible More Progressive President Obama In A 2nd Term." Originally from The Tavis Smiley Show, but the video has since been deleted or blocked on YouTube.  

"In 1981, Ronald Reagan came to office famously declaring that "government is the problem.” Barack Obama’s recent inaugural address, with its ringing endorsement of a larger role for government in addressing America’s – and the world’s – most urgent challenges, marks the end of the 30-year "Reagan Revolution" that followed." 

From Jeffrey Sachs

I don't want to see President Obama become more socialist ( let's say ) in a second term: meaning he'll look to expand the Federal Government and create all new social insurances and so-forth. 

President Obama is going to have to concentrate on the economy starting off and hopefully he'll get something like the American Jobs Act passed through the next Congress, that's built around infrastructure investment, moving towards energy independence, through investing in all of our natural resources, more tax relief for the middle class, to encourage more consumer spending.

These are things that we need to do as a country, create economic and job growth, so we can move towards real deficit reduction. I believe President Obama understands these things and will be concentrating on them. 

Barack Obama is not George McGovern (or Bernie Sanders, of today) he's not looking to create a new New Deal, he didn't run for President to expand the Federal Government, but to meet the challenges of the country and they mostly has something to do with the economy. I don't believe he even believes in economic socialism, but is more of a Teddy Roosevelt, perhaps even Jack Kennedy Progressive, when it comes to the economy.

Nation Tricolore: 'Phil Esposito's Interview 1972 (HD)'

Source:Nation Tricolore- NHL player Phil Esposito, playing for the Canadian national team against Russia, in 1972.

"More than 15,000 heckling Canadian fans boo their team while watching game 4 at Vancouver's Pacific Coliseum. Canada plays poorly for most of the game, with 38 of 41 shots on goal stopped by Soviet goalie sensation Vladislav Tretiak. The game ends with a score of 5-3 for the Soviets and home-team fans boo Canada right off the ice. Assistant captain Phil Esposito is not taking this lightly. He skates back onto the rink, sopping with sweat, and scolds Canada.

"I'm really disappointed [with the fans]. I am completely disappointed. I cannot believe it," he says with a hangdog face. "Some of our guys are really, really down in the dumps. We know, we're trying, I mean, hell, we're doing the best we can."

From Nation Tricolore 

1972 wasn't the heart of the Cold War between America and Russia, with President Richard Nixon working to normalize relations between the United States and Soviet Union, but there was still that national and military rivalry between the Super Powers to the point that every time both countries got a chance to compete against each other, it was a big deal. 

Canada, wasn't a superpower, but they were on our side along with the European Union and wanted to show that they could not only compete with Russia, but beat them as well.
