Ads Cracked Reloaded is a comprehensive training course that is broken down into three different core learning areas that give people all of the strategies they need to create the advertising campaigns on Facebook and make them profitable in record time. Don Wilson designed the course to be effective for anyone, regardless of their previous track record or experience level with Facebook advertising.

NuvoTV unveiled its 2014-2015 slate, which includes six music and entertainment series and specials, three unscripted dramas, two comedy series, and a couple of live boxing specials.

It also unveiled new umbrella franchise, “Nu America,” which will feature series with an overarching theme that combines topical storytelling with social commentary. The expanded relationship with the network's Chief Creative Officer Jennifer Lopez's Nuyorican Productions includes two new series and renewals of “A Step Away” and “The Collective Powered by Vevo” for new seasons.

“Los Jets,” a new original program and the first series to be a part of the Nu America franchise, is a verité documentary series with an immigration storyline.

The second new original series from Nuyorican is the reality competition “Sensation” (working title) — a search for the next “triple-threat” talent.

Broadening its relationship with Mario Lopez, NuvoTV is launching docuseries “Tequila King,” which features Mexican entrepreneur Eric Buccio as he launches the Casa Mexico tequila brand in the U.S. NuvoTV is also picking up new seasons of  ”Mario Lopez: One on One”* *and “Love & Salsa.”

“The coming television season marks a significant milestone in the development of NuvoTV as a network that offers rich and diverse programming focused on Latino culture and entertainment with universal appeal,” CEO Michael Schwimmer said in a release. “We have more than doubled down on our original programming efforts since last year's Upfront. Our commitment to the future of NuvoTV is complemented by the purchase of Fuse and we're excited about what's ahead for both networks.”

“As NuvoTV evolves we are striving to create content with themes and stories that are unique to our audience,” Jennifer Lopez added.  ”I'm looking forward to showing our growth and development from last year by presenting our new slate of original programming.”

Here is the slate, as described by the network:

*Dramatic Reality Series:*
“Los Jets” (Premieres July 16 at 10 p.m. ET) – The passage of federal legislation delivering comprehensive immigration reform continues to be highly contentious in Washington, D.C. Perhaps nowhere is this felt more acutely than in the town of Siler City, N.C. – home of Los Jets, a small, rural community of 5,000 that in a matter of 15 years has seen its Latino population surge from under 2 percent to over 55 percent.

Co-executive produced by Jennifer Lopez and Lynda Lopez under the Nuyorican Productions banner, and the first series to be part of NuvoTV new Nu America franchise, Los Jets follows the compelling story of Siler City's top-ranked boys’ high school soccer team, the Jordan Matthews Jets, as they fight for a spot in the North Carolina State Championships. The players on the Jets are all sons of Latino immigrants who came to the region in search of a better life for their families. The series offers intimate access, on and off the field, to these boys, their families, friends and founding coach, Paul Cuadros – telling a story that is candid, provocative and timely.

Brought to the U.S. at a young age by their parents, several of these boys are undocumented; and nearly all come from families where one or more members has a compromised immigration status. As a result, many of Paul's players are grappling with tremendous uncertainty in their lives.

The boys on the current Jets team also have big cleats to fill. It has been nearly 13 years since Paul Cuadros stood up against powerful adversaries in the school administration and town to demand the creation of a soccer team at the local high school which in 2004 become State Champions.

Viewers will witness the mounting pressure facing today's Jets to measure up to the hard-fought legacy of their team's storied past. Last year the team finished third in the state, missing the championship by just one goal. This season Coach Cuadros is confident his team could make it all the way — carrying the hopes and dreams of an entire community along with them.

Hillary vs. the Media: Real War? Phony War? Or Good Cause?

$
0
0
Is it Hillary Clinton against the media? Or is that a phony war? Key operatives around her say she hates the news media. If so, will it matter? And does she have cause?

With the release of her memoir on her days as US secretary of state just a month away, coverage is focusing more on her, as a national magazine sees fit to have Monica Lewinsky opine about her long-ago relationship with Bill Clinton and House Republicans take the spotlight away from San Diego Congressman Darrell Issa's powerful House Oversight Committee by creating a select committee to investigate the Benghazi disaster. But wait, haven't we heard enough about both?
*Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton talked presidential politics, Benghazi, and the mass kidnaping of girls in Nigeria at the Ford Foundation's Philanthropy New York conference on Wednesday.*Yes to the Lewinsky. Not so much on Benghazi. We've heard too much there, but too much of nothing because we still don't know what really went down. Not that I expect a House select committee run by Republicans in an election year to get to the bottom of things.

With Hillary Clinton's memoir of her tenure as US secretary of state hitting next month, she is moving into the next phase of what may be her second run for the presidency. So last week Politico ran a lengthy story about how she "hates" the US news media, citing a lot of comments from and practices of Clinton aides past and present. I haven't seen a pushback against the story. Which doesn't surprise me in the least.

What is Hillary's evident problem with the US news media? Well, in large part, they're the same concerns I have about it. Too much sensation. Too little substance. Too shallow. Too "gotcha." Too much pack "thinking." Too incoherent and lacking in explanation beyond hyper-partisan spin and half-baked blithering. Too much conventional wisdom. And so on.

Some years back, Hillary -- and I'm going to call her that to distinguish from her husband, a fellow you may have heard of, even though I don't really know her -- identified herself as a fan of Al Jazeera English, for which I used to do on-air analysis. Why did she like it so much? Because it provided comprehensive news from around the world, 24/7. Compare and contrast that with what American cable news has devolved into.

In reality, Clinton has gotten a lot better media than she apparently likes to think. Like most of us, she dwells on the negative and discounts much of the positive.

Not that she hasn't seen how essentially trivial pursuits can be blown up by a compliant and complicit media into, well, impeachable offenses.

Of course, she came out of the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandalette looking great. It helped catapult her into a U.S. Senate seat from New York, which then afforded her a near perfect perch from which to run for president herself.

She and her circle of the time like to think that the press was in the tank for then Senator Barack Obama. But that's hardly what they thought before Obama -- and John Edwards, for that matter -- trounced her in the first-in-the-nation Iowa presidential caucuses. I remember asking her campaign chief Terry McAuliffe and her chief strategist Mark Penn on conference calls what they would do if Obama won Iowa, where I'd been Gary Hart's political director for his breakthrough into national contention. They pooh-poohed the idea, insisted it wouldn't happen. When I pushed on the matter, they said that Hillary had the best campaign organization in history, including grassroots operations, and that she would triumph in subsequent caucus and primary states.

In reality, Obama was much better organized in the caucus states, in no small measure because he opposed the invasion of Iraq and Hillary voted to authorize it. And by feinting a big move in the California primary which never came -- thus forcing Bill Clinton to spend precious days defending a state the Clintons had staked out from the '90s on -- Obama gained a Super Tuesday edge which he never relinquished.

Of course the news media fell in love, to a certain degree, with Obama after he won heavily white Iowa. But in 2007, Obama was frequently dismissed by the media, which largely celebrated Hillary's front-runnership. (At the November 2007 CNN debate in Las Vegas in a hall packed with Hillary supporters, which I attended, the panel essentially tamped down early attacks on her by Obama and Edwards.) That's why Penn and McAuliffe thought they could get away with non-serious conference call comments then.

Now Hillary rides another wave of inevitability in the news media.

I attended her March speech at UCLA, where she impressed. Her media coverage was glowing.

But she'd actually made a couple of very questionable statements during her LA visit. Not that anyone took her to task for them.

The day before she spoke at UCLA, where she received the university's highest award, the UCLA Medal, she told a group at a private fundraiser down in Long Beach that Russian President Vladimir Putin is like Adolf Hitler. Er, why? Because he used supposed threats to fellow countrymen to annex Crimea, which was historically part of Russia. What did Hitler, perhaps the most famous fascist and mass murderer in world history, do that was so supposedly similar? He invaded Poland and what was then called Czechoslovakia, citing a threat to ethnic German minorities. Really not at all the same thing, and that's before we get to the dodgy notion of comparing anyone to Hitler.

At UCLA, Hillary clarified things by calling Putin "a tough guy with thin skin" -- something which might, with a change of gender, be said of her -- and went on to say that Russia is moving to "re-sovietize." Whatever that meant.

Actually, the Russian word "soviet" has a specific meaning. But not what Hillary seemed to think. It means "council." In Communism, the soviets referred to workers' councils which were to take power from the old feudal and bourgeois forms of governance that collapsed in World War I.

In reality, of course, they came to be a cover for Communist dictatorship. And the Soviet Union -- the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics -- became the Soviet empire.

So what Hillary is implying is that Putin is trying to put together a 21st century version of the old Communist empire run from Moscow. Whereas Putin, who quite unlike Soviet officials isn't promoting a universalist ideology seeking to inspire revolutionary movements around the world, thinks what he is doing is protecting Russian borders from the expansion and encroachment of NATO. An expansion which the Clintons backed with Russia flat on its back in the '90s even as they entertained then President Boris Yeltsin in the White House. Which in turn helped give rise to the very Russian nationalism that Putin represents. Recall that the Clintons' erstwhile friend Yeltsin made Putin first head of the FSB intelligence and security service and then prime minister of Russia to play the lead role in restoring Russian strength.

I hope Hillary does run for president.

First, because it's getting to be damn near past time to have a woman president. Second, because she has some strong leadership characteristics that might just make her an excellent president. And third, because there will be plenty of substance to discuss and debate about her.

I also think that the Hillary vs. the media bit is a good narrative frame for her, no matter its accuracy. It's certainly accurate enough to have some credibility. And then there's the fact that the public doesn't think much of the news media.

This week, in fact, we've seen how it can work for her.

Monica Lewinsky herself surfaced in Vanity Fair with her first person story of the scandal and how it affected her. Though she makes plain that it was a consensual rather than coerced affair with the president, she remains not unsuitably aggrieved.

Some of this could be hurtful to Hillary. But she benefits from having one element of the media bring it up and take it seriously, while another dismisses it. The fact is that it's old news. And it's old news of a sort that makes one wonder why on earth we spent so much time talking about it back in the day.We also have the return of that hardy perennial of the right, the Benghazi disaster. Hillary was the most prominent champion of having the US join European powers in intervening in Libya, an intervention I supported. But so far, that seems to be the clearest link between her and any cause of the disaster that was to unfold in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.

House Speaker John Boehner, acting to take a promised re-investigation away from controversial San Diego Congressman Darrell Issa and his powerful House Oversight Committee, has instead created a House select committee on Benghazi chaired by South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy. The Deep South conservative, who months ago proclaimed his eagerness to subpoena Hillary in the matter, said it again after being named chairman of the probe.

Actually, if Gowdy really wants to know what happened in Benghazi, he would subpoena General David Petraeus, who was director of CIA when the disaster occurred. Naturally, Petraeus wasn't on the list of people Gowdy has vowed lately to subpoena. But, intriguingly, Petraeus was in Gowdy's sights back in 2012, which is to say before he had a House select committee investigation to run.

Once again, at least so far, Hillary seems to be getting the benefit of the doubt from most of the media on Benghazi, viewing it as part of the right-wing propaganda mill. Because her critics are right-wingers and because it's supposedly an old story now.

However, the reality is that, despite all the sturm und drang, we still don't know what really happened in Benghazi when Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed during a wild night of attacks.

We do know that the version put out by the Obama Administration via then UN Ambassador Susan Rice on her now notorious Sunday chat show appearances, was ridiculously wrong. The tragedy did not stem from a protest -- against a hate-Islam video produced by a vicious airhead in the US -- gone south. There was no protest that day in Benghazi. Not that Hillary was particularly involved with this nonsense, mind you.

There was a protest that day in Cairo, where the video had been played relentlessly for days in advance as Islamists whipped up anger against the perfidious Americans and their satanic culture. Later there were protests across the Muslim world, showing just how recklessly irresponsible the "filmmaker" and his foolish "free speech advocate" backers really were. You don't shout fire in a crowded theater and claim the right of free speech. The dangerous fools who bait Islamists are not to be celebrated. Quite the contrary.

All that said, the tragedy in Benghazi stemmed from something very different. And what that is remains unclear.

Stevens, with whom I was acquainted, killed on the anniversary of 9/11, was reportedly in Benghazi to open an American cultural center. Is that why he was targeted? Though he had asked for more security, as the right constantly reminds (even as it hems and haws about cutting funding for State Department security), Stevens loved Libya and the Middle East and North Africa region in general, felt generally comfortable there, and had a habit of traveling well off the beaten path in ways that would frighten the average American. Perhaps the idea of an American cultural center in Benghazi, a fairly Wild West kind of place with many armed people about, was not well advised. Especially around the anniversary of 9/11. Is that why Stevens was targeted?

Or was he even targeted at all?

It may be that all this scrutiny of the State Department, and hence of Hillary, is beside the point. What was said to be the US "consulate" in Benghazi in which Stevens was fatefully and fatally trapped by the, er, "protesters," was primarily a CIA operating base. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/an-alternative-explanation-for-the-benghazi-talking-points-bureaucratic-knife-fight/2013/05/10/22a8df5c-b98d-11e2-b94c-b684dda07add_blog.html The jihadists attacked both the "consulate" and a US "annex" a mile away. Whose "annex" was this? It belonged to another government agency. In other words, it was, in the parlance, OGA (Other Government Agency), common code for CIA. Of the 30 American government personnel evacuated from Benghazi, 23 belonged to CIA and only seven to State.

In fact, there were reportedly far more Americans fighting on the ground that night in Benghazi than disclosed at the time. Their affiliation? CIA.

What were they doing there that would trigger a jihadist attack? That is the jackpot question.

So it may be that Chris Stevens was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, ironic collateral damage. (And very tragic, for Stevens was just the sort of intellectually and culturally engaged and sympathetic diplomat America needs in the Islamic world.)

While there are plenty of rumors, it may well be that CIA was doing exactly what it should be doing in Benghazi. The fact is that sometimes things just go wrong. But leaving it out of the discussion of what caused the Benghazi disaster is like ignoring half the screen while watching a movie.

Hillary probably has something more interesting to say about all this than she said in her earlier congressional appearance on the matter. I have the feeling she will get the opportunity, especially if she does end up running for president.William Bradley Archive Reported by Huffington Post 8 hours ago.

The woman – who was an employee at the Emirates Palace hotel, and not a prostitute – was holding a birthday party in park with a Chinese woman and three Nepalese men, all of whom worked with her at the hotel.

When one of the men presented the woman with a birthday present, she hugged him.

In a severe misunderstanding, a police officer on the lookout for street prostitutes mistook the woman’s intentions.

“Naturally, after her colleague gave her a gift she thanked him and hugged him. When CID officers saw this they exaggerated it,” said lawyer Faayza Moussa.

The officer arrested both Chinese women, who were then convicted of prostitution at the Criminal Court.

Both women were sentenced to jail and deportation.

At a hearing on Monday, Moussa emphasized the women’s good character and clean records. Moussa went on to state that both women “are even virgins, which shows their conservative backgrounds.”

“The two women were students at the most prestigious university that teaches hospitality and tourism in China. They come from well-known, prestigious families and were sent on a scholarship to Las Vegas due to their high grades and food discipline,” Moussa explained.

Moussa also noted that the women had not been provided with a translator at the police station.

The case was adjourned.

FBI Investigates Cliven Bundy Supporters Who Allegedly Pointed Guns At Federal Officers LAS VEGAS (AP) — Clark County sheriff's officials say they've been interviewed by the FBI as part of an investigation into armed supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy.

Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo tells KLAS-TV (http://bit.ly/1qk6adO) that federal agents are looking into the conduct of people who reportedly pointed guns at officers during a standoff at Bundy's ranch April 12.

The Bureau of Land Management had been rounding up hundreds of Bundy's cattle that it says were trespassing on public land. It says Bundy owes more than $1.1 million in fees and penalties.

The roundup was called off over safety concerns.

Bundy supporters have denied pointing weapons at authorities and say that BLM rangers were the ones pointing guns.

A spokeswoman for the FBI in Las Vegas did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
