Anti-Gay Pastor Acknowledges 'Sexual Incident' with High School Student in the 90s, Gets Standing Ovation
A pastor from Tennessee, who says being gay is a sin, admitted to a "sexual incident" with a teen high school student in the 90s, the Associated Press reports.
Jules Woodson came forward last week and alleged Andy Savage, a pastor at the Memphis megachurch Highpoint, sexually assaulted her when she was a 17-year-old high school senior in Texas in 1998. News of the allegations sparked Christian publisher Bethan House to cancel the publication of Savage's book "The Ridiculously Good Marriage."
Savage made a statement on the website for the Highpoint Church, acknowledging he was involved in a "sexual incident" with a female high school student while he was on a church staff in Texas.
Woodson's allegations came in a blog post, which can be read in full by clicking here.
But Savage received a standing ovation during a church service Sunday, after admitting to the "sexual incident," according to a report from The New York Times. He did not tell the congregation what happened in 1998 but said he had sinned, taken responsibility for it and never hid it from church leaders. He added that before Woodson came forward with her story that he believed the alleged incident was "dealt with in Texas."
"Until now, I did not know there was unfinished business with Jules," Savage, 42, said during the service, which was streamed live online. "Jules, I am deeply sorry for my actions 20 years ago. I remain committed to cooperate with you toward forgiveness and healing."
After addressing churchgoers, the crowd applauded Savage for about 20 seconds. Highpoint's lead pastor Chris Conlee then said he supports Savage, who he said was one of the people "hurt by the ripple effect of the consequences of that sin."
Woodson spoke to The Times in an interview, calling the video "disgusting." She said the alleged incident was not "dealt with" because it was never reported to law enforcement. She added she reported the episode this week and spoke with a detective in the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department.
"I just hope that by me coming forward that I would give courage to one other person," Woodson told The Times. "It doesn't matter if I was his only victim. What matters is that this was a big problem and continues to go on."
Savage is against homosexuality, pornography, divorce and "sexual atheism," having taking issue with these subjects in his video series "Sex Nation." Highpoint Church also has Savage's views on homosexuality posted on its website.
Watch Savage's recent speech to his congregation below, along with his "Sex Nation" video on homosexuality.

Rooney in line for West Ham return
Sir Alex Ferguson has said that Wayne Rooney will make his Manchester United comeback in Wednesday's FA Cup replay against West Ham.
Rooney has not played since facing Swansea on December 23 after sustaining a knee injury in training, but the 27-year-old is set to feature against the Hammers, when a fourth-round tie against either Fulham or Blackpool is the prize for the winners.
Nani, who has been out since November with a hamstring injury, is also set to return to first-team duty, and Ferguson said that injuries to Nemanja Vidic and Ashley Young, who were both substituted in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Liverpool, are not as bad as feared.
Vidic, who returned in December after three months on the sidelines with a recurrence of his knee problem, was substituted after scoring what proved the winner but Ferguson told MUTV: "Actually, Vida's knee is okay. He had a little bit of concussion but he's okay and fine. He trained yesterday [Monday] and was good."
Young was seen leaving Old Trafford on crutches but, while he will miss the West Ham game and could sit out Sunday's trip to Tottenham, he is expected to return for the fourth-round tie, should United progress.
Ferguson added: "There are no other serious knocks really. I think they're all pretty good. Obviously, Young has got a dull knock, a little bit of a strain on the knee, but it's nothing serious. I think he'll be back next week. Maybe not for Tottenham but, the week after, he should be okay."
Ferguson is expected to make several changes for the West Ham game, with Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Antonio Valencia, Anderson, Ryan Giggs and Javier Hernandez all in contention to start.

Nemzoff offers families tips on holiday challenges
Book offers suggestions for a smooth holiday season and beyond
It's here — the time of year when a single table in one home may very well be shared by turkey lovers and vegans, war protesters and NRA cardholders, the amicable and the austere.
Family dynamics are forever changing, and while the nuclear unit will never be the same when extended family is added to the mix, a positive, flexible attitude can mean additional fulfilling relationships – or at least help family members survive the holiday season without ruptured relations.
That and more form the content of a new book by Ruth Nemzoff, a resident scholar at the Women's Studies Research Center: "Don't Roll Your Eyes: Making In-Laws Into Family."
While Nemzoff doesn't promise quick solutions, and admits that some problems are unsolvable, her focus is on ways in which to improve relationships with time and effort.
Nemzoff has held numerous positions over the years that have required keen interpersonal skills and the need to just get along. She was assistant minority leader of the New Hampshire legislature and deputy commissioner of health and welfare in that state. She founded a nursery school, a counseling service and the National Women's Legislative Lobby. And she brings to her task decades of personal family experience with her four children and their eight collective in-laws.
The groundwork for this book, says Nemzoff, started in 2008 during her lectures for her previous book "Don't Bite your Tongue: How to Foster Rewarding Relationships with Your Adult Children."
"That's when I began to see the frequency of people asking about in-law relationships," says Nemzoff. "This book is a compilation of all the stories that I heard on the road, through travel and lectures."
A recent encounter occurred on an airplane, when the woman sitting next to her noticed Nemzoff's book, which she was carrying, and struck up a conversation. The woman had two children from her previous marriage and one from her current marriage.
"How are things between you and your ex-mother in-law?" Nemzoff asked.
"They're actually really good—now," the woman replied.
"And why do you think that is?" Nemzoff asked.
"Because we both grew up," the woman answered.
The woman shared how her former mother-in-law appreciates when the grandchildren call her, send thank-you notes and remember her. The kids are teenagers, and the ex-in-law knows those things probably wouldn't be happening without their mom's prompting.
Marriage has only been about love in the last few generations, says Nemzoff, adding that even now only a small population in the world marries for love.
"I know people in my parents' generation who didn't marry their first love because of economics -- their parents wouldn't let them," says Nemzoff. "For many years marriage was a business deal. The wealthy protected their property, the poor got rid of an additional mouth to feed or gained work help. That's not a propitious soil for happiness."
In this generation, she says, people marry for love, and suddenly they have obligations to people they may never have met. Older generations wonder what their role is in this new family, and siblings often feel pushed aside or competitive.
"Then there can be two sets of in-laws, who vie for supremacy," says Nemzoff. "They may compete with each other on who gets more time with the couple/family and what they can offer them financially."
Thanksgiving and other gatherings can be problematic for families, beginning with whose house will host, unless people call on their most mature selves, says Nemzoff.
Some of her tips for terrific Turkey Days cover:
Sharing: Alternate locations every year, or see if one family can celebrate on a different day.
A declined invitation: When a grown child will not make it to Thanksgiving try to reframe the hurt and realize they are now also part of another family.
New Traditions: Do not leave an empty space at your table if some family members cannot join you. Instead of mourning your loss, begin new traditions.
Menu Mayhem: Be open-minded about what will be served. Ask to be alerted to particular food accommodations, such gluten-free, vegan or kosher. You can also suggest people bring a dish they're comfortable eating.
Timing: Families with teens may want attend a football game, while families with toddlers may need to take naps. Try to meet in the middle.
Post-election fallout: In some families it's best to avoid political conversations. During Thanksgiving it's nice to have times in which you're doing things together, such as watching a football game on TV, going for a walk, playing with children, even doing the dishes.
"Relationships take work," says Nemzoff. "They can make any event or life happiness richer, but they can also cause troubles-- and the choice is ours."
Nemzoff also serves on the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women.

The creepiest, nastiest, eeriest, darkest, most twisted sounds for your horror productions, all in this pack of six different tracks.
Creepy Music Box Loop – 0:24
Exactly what it says in the title. This is a creepy twisted, slightly scary sounding music box that would make a perfect background for a website with a horror theme, especially if played at a low volume. Just my recommendation!
I See The Dead Alive – 2:34
A dark journey into the unknown world of dead people walking through the earth. A creepy, eerie, unsettling journey. All instruments in this track are played LIVE by real players, hence the slightly more organic, human feel given to this track. Soulless, unnerving, whatever you call it, it's probably what you would feel if you woke up one day and you were surrounded by dead people (threatening or unthreatening!).
The creepiest, nastiest, eeriest, darkest, most twisted sounds for your horror productions, all in this pack of six different tracks.
The Twisted Music Box – 0:57
A descent into utter madness and chaos through the humble music box, which can be the creepiest of instruments if played in a certain way. The music starts innocently enough but the sound is twisted so far that the music box as a sound becomes progressively more unrecognisable the further into the darkness we proceed.
House Of Horrors (trailer) – 1:44
Weirdness, eerieness, twisted-ness. This track is another descent into chaos and madness. The house in question in this track is most definitely set in an 'industrial' setting. All the sounds in this track are heavily processed and 'electrified'. Sweeps, swipes, ghostly effects, backwards effects, vocal FX, they are everywhere in this track. In addition, this track is structured like a trailer. All the early eerie effects at the beginning lead up to a massive thundering climax towards the end of the piece, rounding off a suitably hard hitting close to your trailer / production.
Do You Like Ghost Stories? – 1:01
This WILL make you jump! Without question! Not a lot more needs to be said. Shrieks, swirls, terrorizing tensions, silences, booms, this short track has everything you need if you want to shock someone. Not a lot more needs to be said, except, "Do You Like Ghost Stories?"
Dead People Walking Through The Mist – 1:01
A very scary jump start to the track, "Dead People Walking Through The Mist" is a musical journey into our reactions should we encounter someone who is dead, but seems very much alive. This horror track is signified by rattling piano trembles, terrifying string runs and glissandi, and a menacing, dark, brooding piano melody. Also a lot of percussive effects are scattered throughout the track to increase the tension. Do You See Dead People is about tension, psychodrama, and horror, all rolled into one. The beginning WILL make people jump, especially if it comes from nowhere.
All tracks are provided in WAV or MP3 format. Hope these are useful for someone and I hope you enjoyed the twisted scary horror theme!

Why is atheist a bad word? How do we flip this word because I don't think I can (honestly) call myself anything else!
Views: 2131
sk8eycat in the Freethought Today magazine there are many letters and emails they receive that are death threats and laced with all sorts of profanities.
It is scary - very scary.
I guess I never thought it really was a bad word. Except maybe ages ago when I was nominally religious. I started the discussion because I wanted to hear why other people choose to use that word and encourage myself to use it in order to take the "bad-ness" out of it. By now, it has, and I love the word.
I do not wish to argue whether the word 'Atheist' is a bad word or not. I am an atheist in the accepted sense of the word and have very positive feelings about it. The word "Materialists" has been used since ancient times to describe those who do not believe in the supernatural but believe only in the material world and the natural phenomenon. The ancient Indian atheist Charvaka and his followers were described as materialists. The word Atheist must be an equivalent word of relatively recent origin. The term "Scientific materialist" is reeally fine but it would still be good to continue to use the word "Materialist" for the sake of simplicity. It is well accepted that every materialist in today's world strongly believes in science.
I'm enjoying reading the comments on this discussion. It's very thought provoking.
It strikes me as VERY ODD to even have to explain our atheist position -it's dumb.
It's like saying...
NO, I don't believe there is a 2nd invisible sun in the sky.
And NO, I don't want to buy your 2nd invisible sun sun-screen so that I may avoid the horrible death by invisible skin cancer.
-but when you're the minority (sane), and a direct threat to their cherished world view = instant bad guy.
You might make to much sense to them.
Very good reply Tyler. I agree.
In fact - Xtians are not all that "moral" to me. I think they behave badly.
Agreed. Especially your 2nd point. Human nature at it's finest, disdain towards that which we are ignorant.
Naturalist seems to work well for me.
I keep toying with "non-theist," but it has the ring of "you are trying to fake me out, when you are really an atheist."
I really want to be called the Anti-Christ, but that doesn't work very well either.
I am old enough now that I may try "Reprobate," that has a certain ring to it.
"Reprobate" rocks! Maybe I'll use that too!

Ninety-six works by 26 artists from the United States, Europe and Asia, brought together to illuminate a big — but overlooked — idea.
"Destroy the Picture: Painting the Void, 1949-1962" is vintage MOCA. A boldly thoughtful, revisionist exhibition that focuses on destruction as a creative force, it's the sort of show that has long distinguished Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art.
The project is also vintage Paul Schimmel, who organized "Destroy the Picture" and edited its substantial catalog. But the exhibition's closing on Monday will mark the end of his 22-year tenure as the museum's chief curator.
PHOTOS: Arts and culture in pictures by The Times
"I was surprised there had never been a show that dealt with this visually coherent phenomenon," Schimmel said in an interview at the L.A. museum in the last weeks of its run. "It runs parallel to a lot of things we know about art in the '50s, but it hadn't been brought together in one exhibition."

While in Bangalore, Serena Williams did her part as a spokesperson for HP to launch a line of limited edition notebooks with three designs. The "Verve" imprint will be on the dv2600 Pavilion, "Thrive" will be on the dv6800 Pavilion, and the "Asian Odyssey" (pictured above) will be the imprint on the dv2800. "Asian Odyssey" was the winner of the 'Take Action. Make Art' competition hosted by MTV and HP. It also reminds me a little of Bud Collins' laptop.
And based on the three imprints, Indian fashion duo Shantanu & Nikhil have created an exclusive collection for Serena to be unveiled in the fall/winter 2008 Willis India Lifestyle Fashion Week (March 12-16).

Construction employment increased in 138 out of 337 metropolitan areas between March 2010 and March 2011, decreased in 153, and stayed level in 46, according to a new analysis of federal employment data released recently by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), Arlington, Va. But association officials say that the industry's five-year employment slump is far from over, and could worsen as public construction winds down.
"Even with more metro areas adding jobs than in any 12-month period since November 2007, the fact is most areas are far below previous construction employment peaks," says Ken Simonson, the association's chief economist. "With federal stimulus, base realignment and Gulf Coast hurricane-protection projects slated to end soon, many areas are at serious risk of another downturn in construction employment."
Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas, again added more construction jobs (9,800 jobs, 10%) than any other metro area during the past year while Bay City, Mich., added the highest percentage (25%, 200 jobs). Other areas adding a large number of jobs included Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Ill., (3,900 jobs, 4%); Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich. (2,800 jobs, 10%); and Northern Va., (2,600 jobs, 4%). Large percentage gains also occurred in Flagstaff, Ariz., (24%, 400 jobs); Elkhart-Goshen, Ind., (20%, 500 jobs); and Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, La., (18%, 900 jobs).
The largest job losses were in Atlanta-Sandy Spring-Marietta, Ga., (-6,800 jobs, -7%) and New York (-6,800 jobs, -6%), closely followed by Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. (-6,600 jobs, -6%). Lewiston, Idaho (-38%, -500 jobs) lost the highest percentage. Other areas experiencing large percentage declines in construction employment included Steubenville-Weirton, Ohio-West Va., (-26%, -500 jobs); Bend, Ore., (-16%, -500 jobs); and Lafayette, La. (-15%, -1,000 jobs).
Association officials say that private nonresidential and multifamily construction appear to be stabilizing or picking up in most markets, but that the gains are likely to be offset by pending drops in public construction. Noting that prices for many key construction materials continue to rise, association officials caution that delaying investments in public construction could likely force taxpayers to pay more for the same work in the future.
"There is nothing fiscally responsible about buying high instead of buying low when it comes to infrastructure investments," says Stephen Sandherr, the association's CEO. "If public officials would cut red tape and costly regulations like they are cutting construction budgets, that would help boost private sector demand."

What Brian said! I'm dying for epubs of Evening's Empires and In the Mouth of the Whale on this side of the pond.
Hi Brian and Patrick, Gollancz are still trying to find a US publisher. But I'll pass yr comments on to my editor.

Is It Copyright Infringement To Pass A DMCA Notice On To ChillingEffects?
from the copyright-on-a-copyright-infringement-notice? dept
IMPORTANT NOTICE: None of the information contained in this legal notice is to be transmitted and/or released to any third party, including but not limited to Chilling Effects (chillingeffects.org), without the express written permission of the the copyright owner and or his agent. As stated in Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and in the normal course of processing and notifying the infringing counter party, recipient must only include information specific to that counter party's infringement and must not include this entire notice. Any re-transmission in whole or in part of this legal notice by the intended recipient will be a direct violation of U.S. and International Copyright Law and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law by the copyright owner.Yes, that's right. The company is claiming that the DMCA takedown notice itself is copyrighted and that passing it along will constitute infringement. Of course, this raises some questions. Assuming that such a notice is copyrightable (and I'd argue that, depending on the text, it might not be), who owns the copyright. The paragraph above appears to imply that it's the copyright holder of the original content that the takedown notice is about, but that wouldn't be true. It seems that the copyright, if there is one, would be held by whoever wrote the letter, which is the third party firm hired by the original copyright holder. Also, did whoever write this letter actually register it with the Copyright Office?
Either way, I can't wait to see the DMCA takedown notice filed on a DMCA takedown notice.
Of course, it's not too hard to track down more details about this. That's because at least some of the recipients of such a warning appear to have totally ignored it. Within seconds, I found a recent letter on ChillingEffects (sent to Google) that includes this language. It's a letter from Zuffa LLC, better known as the parent company for UFC, who has been quite aggressive in copyright lawsuits. The actual letter appears to have been filed by an outfit called MiMTiD, which promises automated DMCA takedown notice submission, which only raises even more questions. If the letter itself is automated, again that raises questions about whether it's copyrightable.
Even odder is the following paragraph in the letter. After denying the recipient the ability to forward the letter to anyone, including specifically calling out ChillingEffects, it appears to indicate that it will instead forward the letter to a different aggregator of such notices, called "The Chilling Report" but apparently that database is kept secret and you need to "obtain secure access" to see it:
Please also note that with the express permission of the copyright owner, in addition to being forwarded to certain members of the United States Congress and the U.S. Department of Justice, MiMTiD will send this legal notice to a third-party that aggregates repeat infringer data gathered by different agencies and infringement mitigation service companies around the globe and provides centralized access to that data to be used by global policy makers and law enforcement agencies to create and enforce copyright law. As such, this legal notice will included in The Chilling Report (http: //www.chillingreport.com). To obtain secure access to the Chilling Report please email The Chilling Report at xxxxx @chillingreport.com or call (713) xxx-xxxx.I checked out http://www.chillingreport.com and nothing loads. So is this an attempt to try to hide DMCA takedown notice info from the public? If so, I doubt it will work. It's nice to see that Google apparently didn't think twice before passing this letter on to Chilling Effects, despite the prohibition. Now we'll see if MiMTiD, Zuffa or anyone else actually tries to claim a copyright on the DMCA notice. I would imagine they'd have to send a DMCA notice to Chilling Effects first, and if that includes the same paragraph, we may get into an infinite loop of DMCA notices...

Taft College falls to Imperial Valley and Victor Valley
Taft College – still without its leading scorer – was eliminated after losing its first two games of last weekend's San Diego City College tournament.
In their first game Friday, the Cougars dropped into the loser's bracket with a 65-59 loss to Imperial Valley College and were eliminated on Saturday with a 76-55 defeat at the hands of Victor Valley College.
The losses drop the Cougars' overall record in pre-conference games to 5-9.
TC will take some time off before the next game Jan. 4 in Sacramento against Cosumnes River College.
Hopefully, the layoff will allow the Cougars to get back to full strength.
Leading scorer Erica Evans, who was averaging 18.5 points a game when she went down with a foot injury Dec. 1 in a tournament.
Sophomore guard Schalon Baysinger also is out with a foot injury.
Imperial Valley 65, TC 59
Sophomore guard Zanoria Echols led the Cougar scoring with 19 points. She also had 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
Center Bezait Anbesse scored 13 points and led the team with nine rebounds.
Other scorers were Ramonique Redding and Crystallyn Faletoi with 8 apiece, Kehlaulani Silva with 6, Airiyana Brown with 3 and Mylasia Smith with 2.
TC shot 33.8 percent from the field, including just 2-of-13 from 3-point range.
Imperial Valley's Sophia Leyva led all scorers with 27 points.
Victor Valley 76, TC 55
The Cougars were their own worst enemy with a season high 25 turnovers. By contrast, VVC had just 8.
The Rams raced out to a quick lead and were up by 20 (41-21) at halftime.
The Cougars got their offense going in the second half, playing the Rams even.
Anbesse led Taft with 14 points and 14 rebounds.
Echols followed with 10 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
Brown had 8 points, Smith 7, Shelly Gill 6, Faletoi 5, Redding 3 and Silva 2.

A Bremerton, Wash., man believes that he is championing the rights of Hood River citizens in his quest to stop "piecemeal permitting" within the city limits.
Paul Scheyer has accused the City Council of acting as a "hanging judge and jury" during his appeal hearing on Monday. Scheyer lost his protest against the Planning Commission's approval of Holstein's Coffee Company's new enterprise at the corner of Seventh and Oak streets.
"He (Scheyer) certainly has the right to make sure the city is doing what the city should do, but it appears that he challenges everything and certainly drives up the costs for everyone involved," said Tony Motschenbacher, attorney for Holstein's.
For the second time within a year, Scheyer could take his case against a downtown development before the state Land Use Board of Appeals. Last fall he lost another fight to block the opening of the Hood River Bed and Breakfast at 918 Oak St. However, that victory was bittersweet for co-owner/manager Jane Nichols who was forced to pay $8,000 in attorney fees.
"There wasn't anything that I was proposing that was going to be a detriment to the neighborhood, but I'm still paying off the legal bills and I just don't understand," said Nichols.
Scheyer, who also routinely takes on authorities in his hometown, said he is simply trying to ensure that the public process is not circumvented by government agencies.
"Anyone who gets in the way of any of our rights is an enemy, I don't like the 'good old boy' business, I take offense, you've got to treat everyone the same and if you don't like the rules, you change the rules, you just don't look the other way," he said.
Scheyer said he is not finished with his challenge against the bed and breakfast. He said the business is housing overnight guests without a proper building permit — an allegation that both the city and Nichols deny. In fact, Nichols said she has gone beyond the requirements for a two-bedroom facility by volunteering for a safety inspection and attending a health and safety class.
Scheyer is also scrutinizing local entrepreneur Maui Meyer's plans to build an upscale restaurant and retail outlet at First and Oak streets, next to the existing Holstein's facility. With all three applications, Scheyer has accused the city of procedural violations in its permitting process. He has now also included the City Council in that complaint, claiming that his "due process" rights were flouted during the June 23 hearing.
"They don't even have a clue about how to run a fair hearing and that's an even bigger issue than the appeal itself," he said.
Scheyer said the city refused to grant his request for a continuance of the proceedings — and then restricted the amount of time that he and his daughter, Julie Furnanz of Portland, were allowed to speak. Although neither Scheyer or Furnanz reside in Hood River, he owns a boat house on the waterfront and she is the owner of a local apartment complex and a house. Cascadia Apartments are located just north of the former Church of Scientology building purchased by Holstein's for office space and a new coffee shop.
Mayor Paul Cummings expressed surprise about his new title as a "hanging judge." He said that Scheyer's remark seemed unfounded since he had granted the appellant twice the amount of speaking time given to staff — and had even allowed him to raise arguments about issues that were not under consideration.
"I've been called a lot of names in my life but this is the first time I've been called a hanging judge and I'm at a loss to understand exactly where that is coming from," Cummings said.
City attorney Alexandra Sosknowski told the council on Monday that, in her legal opinion, Scheyer's request to stop the proceedings was not appropriate. She said the appeal hearing required that a decision be based only on the facts already in the record. She said the reasoning behind a continuance was to allow time for new evidence in a case to be gathered and presented.
Scheyer said in all three cases the city has not followed the letter of the law when issuing permits. For example, he said Holstein's owners Cory Bernard and Brian Graves are being granted "illegal" use of the patio for their coffee shop because their landscaping plan is incomplete.
Cindy Walbridge, city planning director, said that 750 square feet of the property, which includes an existing building and patio, has been reserved for landscaping. She said Bernard and Graves have already been briefed about the screening that will be expected once the interior remodeling is completed.
"They knew what the conditions of approval would be from the moment they walked through the door," Walbridge said.
Motschenbacher said his clients have every intent of designing a project that complements the city.
"We are well aware of our landscaping requirements but it's the last thing you do, you can't put in a bed of roses only to have construction workers walk on them," he said.
Scheyer said if landscaping details are not drawn out before building starts, it closes down an opportunity for the public to comment on the plan.
"The public should be able to look at the landscaping plan, otherwise it's done someplace in the back room," he said.
Meanwhile, Bernard and Graves are gearing up for the next potential legal challenge and remain optimistic about the success of their new venture.
"We have been delayed but we are very excited about the project and we plan to be in full compliance about our landscaping, meet all the requirements of the city, and move forward soon," Bernard said.

Congrats for stepping out of your comfort zone! I definitely think you should work in color more often. What I like to do is use colder colors for the background and warmer colors for the foreground/ characters. For me it's easier this way to choose the colors.

Great and amazing theme interpretation! The cat and the chicken have a really nice expression! I like the both versions. :)

Zari, WOW! I already really liked your black and white illo -- shapes and style looked slightly different from what you've usually done. Then you hit us with the colored version! Incredible! I liked that you used the colors from the background pic to bring it all together. Overall, just plain awesome!!! =)

On the contrary, I think you did a good choice on the colors, the illustration is simply great!

I think you did am amazing job with both of these! The black & white, and the colored illustration look amazing!
You really would never know that colored illos are out of your comfort zone. The colors are pretty and vibrant without being distracting. Wonderful job once again!

- Nicole V Lozano said...
You didn't just add the color. You turned the background images too. They are clear in the black and white version and contribute to the overall theme/message. It's harder to make them out the the color version, although the color does scream fast food. Really cute.
- January 27, 2008 at 9:14 AM
- laurel said...
They both look great and very different. I am partial to the colors though. Great job on both of them.
- January 28, 2008 at 2:16 AM
- Zari said...
thank you so much everyone! I'm glad you liked the colored version...i'll try to work more with colors ;)
if i had to do this illo again i'll keep the cat in b&w and the thought in color...but sure I'm not doing it again..haha ;)

Android, iOS More Popular In the Enterprise Than BlackBerry
By Don Reisinger | Posted 09-26-2011 Print
The use of smartphones running Google Android and Apple iOS platforms is on the rise in the enterprise, according to findings from The State of Workforce Technology Adoption: US Benchmark 2011 from Forrester Research. The study, which is based on Forrester's Q2 2011 US Workforce Technology and Online Engagement survey of 4,985 U.S. information workers, also reveals that half of those surveyed now split their work time between the office, home and other remote locations. The study was released Sept. 22, 2011, during Forrester's Content & Collaboration Forum in Boston. "Looking out five years, Forrester sees three technology âtrains' impacting the future of workforce productivity, innovation, and advocacy," said Matt Brown, vice president and practice leader at Forrester Research, during his opening remarks at the Forum. "All three of these trains have left the station: enterprise mobility, enterprise social, and cloud services for business." Read on for 12 highlights from the report.

A papal delegation of bishops, including Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York, will travel to the capital of war-torn Syria in late October. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Vatican secretary of state, made this announcement on Oct. 16 at the Synod of Bishops in Rome. He said the delegation would be a display of solidarity and would encourage peace negotiations "in the certainty that the only possible solution to the crisis is a political solution and bearing in mind the immense suffering of the population." The cardinal said that Pope Benedict XVI had instructed the Vatican delegation to express, on behalf of the pope and the synod: "our fraternal solidarity with the entire population," "our spiritual closeness to our Christian brothers and sisters" and "our encouragement to all those involved in seeking an agreement that respects the rights and duties of all, with particular attention to the demands of humanitarian law."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The left knee of Knicks guard Iman Shumpert doesn't appear to be getting any better and it could keep him out of Tuesday night's game at Indiana.
Coach Mike Woodson told reporters that the team was bringing in a doctor to examine Shumpert's sore knee, the same one that required surgery last May after he tore a ligament during the playoffs. Shumpert appeared to get hurt on an awkward, twisting fall during an 82-71 Game 3 loss that left the Knicks in a 2-1 deficit in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals.
Since then, Woodson said, the knee has been swollen.
"He took a hard spill, so sure there's concern," Woodson said before the team's morning shootaround. "I'm not a doctor. I just saw the leg went out from underneath him."
Asked if Shumpert would be seen by a doctor when the team returned to New York following Game 4, presumably as early as Wednesday morning, Woodson said an orthopedic doctors was en route to Indy.
Shumpert did not practice Monday or Tuesday and did not participate in the team's morning shootaround. Woodson said he had not decided who would replace Shumpert, one of the team's best defenders, in the lineup.
It's not all bad news for the Knicks.
Forward Kenyon Martin and guard J.R. Smith, who both missed practices Monday and Tuesday because of illnesses, were at the shootaround and are likely to play Tuesday night. Martin even told reporters he would "definitely" play.
"I feel better than I did yesterday, but if the game were yesterday, I would have played," Martin said. "It's the playoffs now, no excuses because it's a must-win just like every game is a must-win."
When asked if he gotten the bug from Smith, Martin told reporters that he doesn't sleep in the bed as Smith.
Smith did not speak with reporters.
Health isn't the only big question looming over the Knicks as they head into a game that could swing the series.
On Sunday, center Tyson Chandler told reporters the Knicks needed to take a more selfless approach on offense. In New York, that was perceived to be a direct shot at Carmelo Anthony, the NBA scoring champ. Anthony responded Monday by saying the two would have a discussion outside the public eye.
Neither Chandler nor Anthony spoke Tuesday morning as other teammates tried to explain there was no division in the locker room.
"We're all a unified group and that goes for any situation — a company, military strategies, basketball strategies," Amare Stoudemire said. "We've got to be a tight group."
Stoudemire said his surgically-repaired knee felt good after making his first appearance in a game since March 7 and that he wouldn't play more than 15 minutes Tuesday night.
But Woodson wanted no part of the brewing controversy over team unity.
"I'm not going to entertain that guys," he said. "We've got Game 4 to play."

- Serie A
City & Chelsea target Cavani unsure of future
Napoli striker Edinson Cavani admits he is unsure where he will be playing next season and says it is up to the club whether he stays at the San Paolo.
Cavani has scored 27 goals in 33 games for Walter Mazzarri's side to help them up to second in the Serie A table, with his performances over the past couple of years leading to plenty of attention from Europe's top clubs.
Manchester City and Chelsea have been closely linked with the Uruguayan in recent months, as well as Real Madrid and Barcelona, and all four clubs might have to pay a substantial amount of money to prize him away from the Italian outfit. Cavani's agent Gennaro Famigliett also said last week his affection for the fans would be a huge factor in whether he leaves or not.
Cavani told Uruguayan publication El Observador: "Football is a business. In Napoli I am fine as I have the love of the fans, but in football you never know where you play in the future. Much also depends on the club and the decisions of the president."
Club president Aurelio De Laurentiis is desperate to keep the frontman, but knows that if anyone offers his buy-out clause, there is little he can do.
"Because of the €70 million clause there are maybe two teams who can spend that amount and you have to see if the coaches are the same or will change because they are always the ones who decide," De Laurentiis said in Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Cavani has always shown great friendship and professionalism and has always been attached to the shirt of Napoli. It is obvious that a boy of 25 may be attracted to clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid."
Coach Mazzarri has also been linked with a move away, but De Laurentiis believes even if the 51-year-old and Cavani depart, his club can remain among the best in the division.
"We will not disappoint the fans," De Laurentiis said. "If Mazzarri remains and Cavani leaves, then we will build a great squad. If even Mazzarri were to leave, then we'll still have a great squad. I won't swap Mazzarri for anyone, but it depends only on him. Mazzarri might change president, but I won't change Mazzarri for another coach.
"I chose him and have been working with him very well for many years. If he is fed up and wants to take a break or go for another experience, then that is purely his decision."

56 miles should not have been as difficult as it seemed to be! It didn't start so badly; a nice cruise south through the foothills with a stop at our Los Altos store to use the bathroom and check in on things (they looked busy, which is good!) and from there it was all downhill. Or rather uphill. Uphill being, in this case, Redwood Gulch and Highway 9. I had these fine ideas of trying to do the climbs seated, so I could get some decent video. What stopped me? 80+ degree temps, riding by myself, and there's no way around it, I just don't have what it takes anymore when it gets really steep.
But what made it worthwhile was knowing that, once I got to the top, Mr. Mustard's hot dog stand would be there, with ice cold drinks and, yes, hot dogs. A hot dog has to be one of the worst things you could eat on a ride, but it's not as bad as you think. The right place at the right time makes the difference.
But Mr. Mustard wasn't there! Just checked the time stamp on a photo I took… 4:44pm, and he's usually there until 5. Thank goodness for the Saratoga Gap fire station just down the road, with its outdoor coke machine. Just a couple minutes north on Skyline. I am so looking forward to something cold to drink. Get to the fire station, feed it a dollar bill, and… it's not taking it. I mean it's not even making a noise like it wants to. Maybe quarters would work, but dollar bills aren't today. Had to settle for making some more Cytomax, which probably was better for me anyway and I did, in fact, start feeling a bit more lively shortly thereafter.
What finally got me going was being passed by another cyclist, the only cyclist I saw on all of Skyline. For a (brief) moment I let him go and then thought hey, I don't have to do that, I've got legs, so I chased him down and stayed with him the rest of the way. He did drop me pretty quickly descending 84 into Woodside though.
Overall glad that I got out there, but it will be nice when Kevin's past his kidney issues and riding with me again. But I remain concerned that my "tough" rides are getting shorter and shorter… what's next, a 25 mile ride that does me in? Hope not! –Mike–

How To Debunk A Fact-Free Fox News Fearmongering Piece About New Video Game
from the a-few-options dept
Since I'm so late to the story, rather than directly going through all of the laughable (or downright false) claims directly, I'll simply point to three of the best debunkings that were done to show you how to properly debunk this type of thing:
- There's the straightforward debunking, done by folks like Winda Benedetti at MSNBC, which calmly and rationally responds to many of the claims that Fox News reporter John Brandon made in the original review (or quoted people to make). For example, Brandon quotes Carole Lieberman, a psychologist, who claims that "The increase in rapes can be attributed in large part to the playing out of [sexual] scenes in video games." The only problem? As video games have become more popular, rape rates have gone down.
- If that's not enough of a debunking, John Walker, over at the RockPaperShotgun blog went with a dig deeper debunking, in which he contacted folks quoted by Brandon in the article, and discovered (surprise, surprise) that Brandon appears to have selectively chosen his quotes in at least some of the cases, to make "experts" say something quite different than what they really said. Walker got the full email interview that Brandon did with Billy Pidgeon, a video game analyst with M2 Research, which Brandon uses to suggest that the game won't sell well, since people aren't interested in such violence. But that's not what Pidgeon said at all. In fact, Brandon mixed and matched parts of Pidgeon's answer to have him "say" something quite different than what he actually said. On top of that, Walker's research shows the way that Fox News approached this story, asking incredibly leading questions.
Update: In the comments, Patrick points out that Walker has posted another "dig deeper" debunking of Carole Lieberman's "research" to attempt to prove her claims. It's a long and thorough takedown.
- And, finally, we have the absolutely epic takedown debunk, as done by Eddy at Botchweed, where he did a giant image of the entire Fox News piece, overlayed with his own commentary (including a chart showing the rape rates declining next to the quote mentioned above). Here's just a snippet of the image, but you should see the whole thing:

This is perhaps the most scholarly corner of America: the 9-hectare area that connects various parts of Harvard University in Boston. Harvard Yard encompasses university libraries, student dorms and lecture halls. A walk through the park is a refreshing introduction to the grandeur of one of the most prestigious universities of the United States.
Harvard Yard dates back to the early 19th century. The large enclosed grassy area is the historic centre and the oldest part of the campus. Part of Harvard Yard is now called the Old Yard. This is where many of the freshman dormitories are located, as well as Massachusetts Hall, which dates from 1720 and is the second oldest university building in the United States. This elegant building houses the office of the President of Harvard University.
Harvard Yard features 25 stone and wrought-iron entrance gates, each paying tribute to a class of students from the late 19th century. The tradition to give each class its own entrance gate was formed in 1889. Businessman Samuel Johnston, who graduated from Harvard in 1855, raised money for a gate that exuded grandeur and status. Converted to today's currency, the 'Johnston Gate' cost a quarter of a million dollars. The design was made by Harvard dropout, architect Charles McKim. His 'neo-Georgian' style became enormously popular; other gates and university buildings on campus were later also built in this style.
The park with its distinguished university buildings can be visited year-round. In spring and summer, the green of the grass and trees contrasts beautifully with the red-brick buildings on the campus. Seated on colourful patio chairs scattered throughout the park, students discuss their courses and life in general. In autumn, the park becomes a sea of brilliant red-brown tones. And in winter the snow creates a romantic setting that seems straight out of a Charles Dickens novel.
"Traditionally students touch John Harvard's shoe for good luck during the exam period"
The statue of John Harvard is one of the most popular spots on campus. Huge numbers of tourists and students on their way to an important exam will all rub the top of his left shoe for good luck. However the sculpture is not what it seems and is also referred to as the statue of the 3 lies.
The first of these lies is that the man is not John Harvard. Nobody knows what he actually looked like; someone else posed for the statue which was created in 1884. And although the pedestal is engraved with the words 'Founder of Harvard', John Harvard was not the founder of this famous university. He was one of the first benefactors of the university and donated half of his estate as well as his library, which consisted of more than 400 books. The third lie is hidden in the year that is written on the pedestal: 1638. Harvard was not founded in 1638 but in 1636 – making this the oldest university in the United States.

AP Summarizes Other Journalists' Article; Isn't That What The AP Says Violates The Law?
from the that's-odd dept
The Albuquerque Journal reported on the lawsuit in a copyright story published Wednesday.Now, there are a few things odd about this. First... it's an odd phrase to use: "in a copyright story." Nearly all news stories are covered by copyright, so why even mention it?
But what I find even more amusing is that if you look at the AP report, it's basically just a quick blurb rewrite of the Albuquerque Journal story. It's only 125 words, and just summarizes what the other paper wrote. Why is that amusing? Because that's exactly what the Associated Press has been claiming bloggers unfairly do to it -- insisting that others simply rewriting its stories in short blurbs are violating the "hot news" doctrine. Apparently, that doesn't apply when the AP does it itself?

As a septuagenarian (and Democrat), I was happy that President Barack Obama won re-election, but sad that the morning-after TV news shows reported the win as "the election results validated the Obama team's game plan," rather than the election was the result of a real choice of the American people ("Re-election," Nov. 7).
Our elections are now reported by commentators who appear to have been trained primarily as sportscasters and who speak of who "wins" rather than who was elected, how many points ahead or behind a candidate's "game plan" may be and generally cover campaigns as sporting events. We were inundated with daily electoral sporting reports for more than a year but rarely treated to many details of candidates' positions on key issues.
This is not the way to elect presidents, in my opinion. I remember in civics classes over 50 years ago (a class I understand no longer exists in many U.S. high schools today) that our founding fathers feared a popularity contest to elect a chief executive and set up a "collegiate search committee" — the Electoral College with respected persons in the community traveling to Washington in early December every four years to make a final choice. The electors would interview potential prospects and select the most competent person to lead. One of their hopes was to avoid political parties, but that, of course, did not come to pass!

Post subject: Worried that 14 Minutes isn't Enough?
WARNING! This is just part of what I'm doing. It is strenuous and can be miserable or maybe dangerous if you go at it too hard. Talk to your doctor. I'm not a certified fitness or exercise anything. I'm also poor as hell, so don't sue.
Less-urgent but important caveat: If you don't have a few months of bodyweight exercises under your belt, be careful how hard you drive at this. It can make you vomit if you aren't careful. It can exhaust you for minutes or even hours. It can make you terribly sore and wobbly for days, so watch out and don't let your enthusiasm ruin your day!
I admit, I was worried, too. The good news is that there's really no need to do more than that if you cram in a sufficient amount of work (relative to your level of conditioning, of course! Get your Dr's approval before you try anything like this). Reinhard's latest podcast inspired me to go back to 14 minutes. Here are some sample 14 minute workouts that will more than do enough.
simplefit.org inspired (these are bodyweight routines, so if you are unable to do a move, feel free to modify it to make it easier and keep it safe:
1. Modified "Endurance"
Do a short set of pullups (a third to half your max-we will call this "P")
Do double that number of pushups (Px2)
Do three times that number of squats (Px3)
With real numbers, it would look like this:
5 pullups/10 pushups/15 squats
My modification from simplefit or the original crossfit workout ("Cindy") is that in order to fit as many quality reps of each exercise into 14 minutes, we don't have the luxury to get wiped out and have to rest until we are able to go again-the clock is TICKING! We will let fatigue come, as it will anyway, but we will refuse to let it make cowards of us. Let's say you did 5/10/15, then hopped back up on the pullup bar and did it again, as Pavel would say, "what a stud!" At your third round, however, you only got 4 pullups. This time you do 8 pushups and 12 squats. Next round, 3/6/9, which you are able to maintain for a few sets. Then 2/4/6. In the end, you're down to 1:2:3. Go ahead, try it. I DARE you to report that it wasn't enough work if you were moving as quickly as possible and taking the shortest possible breaks, as in try to get 14 rounds, and shoot for even more.
Simplefit's Day 2-5 rounds for time.
Try for 5 rounds in 14 minutes. This is the workout I did today. The ratio for this workout is 1 pullup: 3 pushup: 5 squat, so it might turn your gut even worst than the last one.
This is how I did today:
rd 1: 10/30/50
rd 2: 6/18/30
rd 3: 5/15/25
rd 4: 4/12/20
rd 5: 4/12/20
I'm still a bit nauseated as I type this. I know it's not a great performance or anything special, but it was more than enough for me, for sure!
simplefit also has a day 3 "judgment" workout to test how you're doing. They like to progress up a level once they complete a "judgment day" in 5 minutes or less. Since I'm not using the level system here, and we just want to get in a hard workout in 14 minutes, the obvious thing seemed to be to use three blocks of 4min:40sec. This day isn't like the others. It is 3 blocks of 280 seconds. The first block is pullups, the second block is pushups, the third block is squats. I haven't done this yet, but I'll get back to you on what it's like. This is posted as a report on my opinions, thoughts, and what I'm doing.
Another reason behind the modifications to these workouts is that there are days that you will be weak, sick, tired, or whatever. I know I certainly have my share of off days. Recognizing that you won't always have the physical ability or the mental or emotional drive to beat your records also might help combat the "I know I'm not going to beat my record today, so I'll train when I have more engery" trap. Each training session can be taken slowly and easily as you feel you ought to, and just be chalked up as what Dan John calls "punch-clock workouts".
Imagine the strength and conditioning (maybe you have it and don't have to imagine it) to do the following:
Day 1: 14 rounds of 5/10/15 for a total of 70 pullups/140 pushups/210 squats
Day 2: 5 rounds of 10 pullups/30 pushups/50 squats
Day 3: Jeez, I don't even know what could be done with this one. Honestly I have no idea, but the reps could potentially get VERY high.
I like the simplefit workouts so much because they shift emphasis to different aspects of conditioning and different rep ranges.

Glad you found it inspiring!
Go ahead, try it. I DARE you to report that it wasn't enough work
I believe you! I've done something similar (even a little simpler) on some Freestyle Fridays when I'm hammered out. I start with max full range of motion pushups. Then do the same number of squats. Then repeat the cycle until I can't do a single pushup. This process of total exhaustion has never taken close to the full 14 minutes. At that point my old 12-pound hammer usually starts to look appealing again and I top off my routine with some orthodox shugging. I used to do twice the number of squats as pushups but found that led to trouble walking for days afterwards.
One-to-one is a little low, however. Maybe I'll go for 1:1.5.
Although I'm still fond of doing "opportunistic" chin-ups and pull-ups, I've never done them as part of my routine. No profound reason -- my chin-up bar is just a little too far from my general workout area.
Thanks for the details -- sounds like an awesome routine.

I didn't originate the guts, these are heavily tweaked programs from simplefit.org and crossfit.com. The 1 to 1.5 pushups to squats ratio is easier to recover from for sure. I like the Karl Gotch 1:2 idea, and when I only do squats and pushups, I tend to not go crazy on the pushups for the recovery and sustainability reasons you mentioned, even though it isn't very hardcore to "take it easy." I have pretty decent performances on the many circuits and short sets, but few sets of high reps really crushes me at this point. Once I train past that, I will be stoked, but judging by how long it took me to become proficient at the 1:2:3 day, I'm going to take it slowly and try not to crash and burn.
