However, Finch discovered that the computer was predicting ordinary crimes as well. The government is not interested in these results, but Finch is determined to stop the predicted crimes. Taking a page from the hit TV show Person of Interest referenced above, Rick Shaw from Awareity.com has himself created a version of the system that Harold Finch created in an effort to stop bullying as well as school violence. Known has TIPS, Shaw's central repository system leverages a predictive analysis model to identify potential issues before they happen. Rick Shaw joins me today in what promises to be one of the most memorable and thought provoking segments I have ever done.   00:31:0049th Parallel ForumnoRick Shaw,TIPS,Person of Interest,Harold Finch,bullyingAfter September 11, 2001, Harold Finch built a computer system for the government that uses information gleaned from omnipresent surveillance to predict futurehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2013/02/25/piers-morgan-and-ted-nugent-two-sides-of-the-same-coinCurrent Eventshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2013/02/25/piers-morgan-and-ted-nugent-two-sides-of-the-same-coin/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2013/02/25/piers-morgan-and-ted-nugent-two-sides-of-the-same-coinMon, 25 Feb 2013 15:30:00 GMTPiers Morgan and Ted Nugent: Two Sides of the Same Coin One of the most troubling aspects of the gun debate in America is the amount of misinformation and half-truths being offered by people on both sides of this contentious issue. Two of the greatest offenders in this regard are CNN's Piers Morgan and Ted Nugent. With Morgan he bandies about study results pointing to declining crime rates, attributing them solely to the impact of gun control legislation. With Nugent, who as a guest on the Glenn Beck show talked about neutralizing watermelons as a means of preparing for armed response, the impassioned rhetoric makes one wonder? Even though Morgan is British, both his and Nugent's vociferous defense of their positions make one wonder Why Do Americans Hate Each Other! 00:12:0049th Parallel ForumnoPiers Morgan,Ted Nugent,gun control,Glenn Beck,CNNOne of the most troubling aspects of the gun debate in America is the amount of misinformation and half-truths being offered by people on both sides of this cohttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2012/07/11/love-bites-oovoo-simulcast-testCurrent Eventshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2012/07/11/love-bites-oovoo-simulcast-test/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2012/07/11/love-bites-oovoo-simulcast-testWed, 11 Jul 2012 19:00:00 GMTLove Bites ooVoo simulcast test Love Bites ooVoo simulcast test 00:30:0049th Parallel ForumnoRhonda Ricardo,cherries,love,romance,ooVooLove Bites ooVoo simulcast testhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2012/05/18/love-bites-pre-recorded-session-may-18thRomancehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2012/05/18/love-bites-pre-recorded-session-may-18th/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2012/05/18/love-bites-pre-recorded-session-may-18thFri, 18 May 2012 18:00:00 GMTLove Bites Pre-Recorded Session (May 18th) Pre-Recorded Session for Sunday, May 20th, 2012 - spicing up the bedroom w/Rhonda Ricardo 00:30:0049th Parallel ForumnoRhonda Ricardo,Cherries Over Quicksand,Relationships,Love,RomancePre-Recorded Session for Sunday, May 20th, 2012 - spicing up the bedroom w/Rhonda Ricardohttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2012/04/02/rhonda-ricardo-pre-recorded-love-bites-series-3Romancehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2012/04/02/rhonda-ricardo-pre-recorded-love-bites-series-3/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2012/04/02/rhonda-ricardo-pre-recorded-love-bites-series-3Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:00:00 GMTRhonda Ricardo: Pre-Recorded Love Bites Series 3 Love Bites Series 3 (Pre-Recorded Sessions) 00:22:0049th Parallel ForumnoRhonda Ricardo,Love Bites,romance,relationships,cherries over quicksandLove Bites Series 3 (Pre-Recorded Sessions)http://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2011/04/20/marijuana-legalize-itCurrent Eventshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2011/04/20/marijuana-legalize-it/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2011/04/20/marijuana-legalize-itWed, 20 Apr 2011 23:00:00 GMTMarijuana: Legalize It?Should Marijuana be legalized, available only for medical use, or remain an illegal substance? What are the pros and cons? What do we stand to lose or gain as a society?  How will our children be impacted? The debate rages on....Our guest tonight on the 49th Parallel -- Rep. Diane Russell (D) of Maine. Rep. Russell plans to introduce a bill that will legalize marijuana in Maine.   "Russell says by legalizing the drug it allows the state to control the market which is out of control on the street and in essence take the drugs out of the hands of children.  Opponents argue the legalization is both irresponsible and not good public policy." -- WGME13 News As a former drug abuser, host Jim Bouchard's thoughts on the issue may surprise you! And the Canadian perspective? Jon Hansen's PI Window on Business' poll has to date received 474 votes.. Close to 90% of all respondents vote yes to legalize pot. What do YOU Think?

In an excerpt from a website that is dedicated to the former Iranian Prime Minister, who is quoted as saying “If I sit silently, I have sinned” the following concerning his vision for the country was shared: Mossadegh envisioned an Iran that was independent, free and democratic. He believed no country could be politically independent and free unless it first achieved economic independence. As he put it, “The moral aspect of oil nationalization is more important than its economic aspect.” He sought to renegotiate and reach an equitable and fair restitution of rights of Iran but was faced with intransigence by the company. To put an end to 150 years of British political interference, economic exploitation and plundering of Iran’s national resources, Mossadegh engineered the nationalization of the oil industry. In reading the above, one cannot help but be reminded of the American Revolution in which the forefathers of the greatest country on earth also sought to free themselves from British rule and the unwelcome involvement in an emerging nation’s affairs. Where would the country be today, if that patriotic revolution had been quashed? What are even more compelling and complex questions center on the fact that with the success of Operation Ajax in 1952, did America forever undermine it’s ability to legitimately champion democracy in the Middle East and as an unintended consequence set into motion the events that eventually led to 9/11 and the current crisis in Egypt? This evening we will attempt to answer these, as well as other questions on what is likely to be a memorable 49th Parallel Forum.01:01:0049th Parallel Forumno9 11,Mohammed Mossadegh,crisis in Egypt,Mideast,Operation AjaxThe details surrounding Operation Ajax came to light, when for the first time in history and, at the prompting of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, thehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2011/01/10/have-we-all-become-too-softCurrent Eventshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2011/01/10/have-we-all-become-too-soft/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/49thparallel/2011/01/10/have-we-all-become-too-softMon, 10 Jan 2011 19:30:00 GMTHave we all become too soft?Have North Americans all become a bunch of whining, politically correct simpering wimps?
