CHICAGO (Reuters) - Stanley Cup champions the Chicago Blackhawks have released forward Dustin Byfuglien in a multi-player trade with the Atlanta Thrashers.
The 25-year-old Byfuglien, who scored 11 goals during Chicago's run to their first championship since 1961, will head to Atlanta with center Ben Eager, defenseman Brent Sopel and prospect, Akim Aliu.
The Blackhawks receive a first and second-round pick in exchange, along with forward Marty Reasoner, winger Joseph Crabb and prospect Jeremy Morin.
Chicago have been forced to part with some of their players due to salary cap issues and lose Byfuglien after he netted five game-winning goals in the post-season.
"It is what it is. It's part of the job," Byfuglien told a local Chicago radio station. "You're not going to stick in one spot the whole time, so I've got to go."

Community Outreach
City Market is a vital community partner to a variety of local organizations. The Co-op works to focus its partnerships and outreach efforts to programs that work to alleviate childhood hunger and that promote the sustainability of agriculture. Here is a sampling of some of the Co-op's outreach programs and our partners.
Donations & Sponsorships
City Market makes a variety of donations to local community non-profits for school functions, community fundraisers and citywide events. It is helpful for us to receive at least 30 days notice prior to an event for donation requests. Please review our donation policy (pdf) and submit our donation request form (Word document or pdf) to email@example.com or snail mail to: Donations/Member Services, City Market, 82 South Winooski Avenue, Burlington VT 05401
Change for Local Non-Profits
City Market previously offered 5 cents back to customers for each bag they reused. In a survey of our members, respondents overwhelmingly agreed that rather than giving this money back to shoppers, we could all have a larger community impact by sharing the change with our local non-profits. Starting July 1, 2011, we began designating a local non-profit to receive the bag refunds each month.If you'd like your local non-profit organization to be considered for these donations, please review our donation policy (pdf) and submit our donation request form (Word document) to Allison Weinhagen or snail mail to: Allison Weinhagen, City Market, 82 South Winooski Avenue, Burlington VT 05401. Learn more.
City Market Sponsorships
City Market is proud to be involved with a variety of events and organizations in the Burlington area. Here is a sampling of where our sponsorship dollars have gone: Jazzfest, Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility, Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce, Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA), Burlington Business Association, Burlington School Food Project, Vermont Woman's Expo, Boys & Girls Club of Burlington, Hunger Free Vermont (formerly the Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger), Kids CAN Help Food Drive, First Night Burlington, Junior Iron Chef Competition, Vermont Business Expo, Way to Go Week, and Old North End Little League. Please contact Allison Weinhagen with any sponsorship requests and include our our donation request form (pdf). Please note that we plan out our sponsorships for each fiscal year well in advance (the 30 day notice for donations does not apply here); for additional information, please review our donation policy (pdf).
Events & Partners
City Market Annual Harvest Celebration
City Market celebrates Vermont's annual harvest by gathering as many of our Vermont vendors and producers as we can fit into a tent and opening the doors wide to the community to celebrate not only the abundance of local food but also the people. For the past eight years, City Market's Harvest Celebration has grown to include the regional producers whom residents see at local farmers' markets, as well as up and coming vendors just breaking into the marketplace. "Seeing some different vendors that you don't see elsewhere," was a comment heard at a prior year's event. Community members enjoy this event because they can sample a variety of delicious local food for free, and perhaps even more important, because of the ability to put a face on the local vendors whose products line City Market shelves.
Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf
Each year, City Market donates over $10,000 in both in-kind donations and financial support to the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf. In addition, the Co-op supports the Food Shelf with tear-off coupons at the registers. In fiscal year 2011, our customers donated over $32,000 to the Food Shelf with these coupons. We also maintain a donation box for shoppers and we send the Food Shelf any surplus items from grocery, produce and the deli. The Food Shelf truck picks up a load from us five days a week.
Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS)
Each year in December, City Market has donated the proceeds from our annual Holiday Tree sale to the Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS). The annual tree sale has been held at the Co-op for the past 13 years, bringing the total donation to over $60,000. City Market staff, Co-op members and community volunteers assist customers with trees throughout the sale. The fresh, local trees are delivered from Moffatt's Farm in Craftsbury and are sold for only $30. According to COTS, $18 covers a night of emergency shelter for an adult at the Waystation. $50 pays for two new backpacks and school supplies for two children in their family shelters.
Vermont Agency of Agriculture
Each spring at the peak of sugaring season, the Co-op hosts the Vermont Maple Board's maple sugar house and provides sugar on snow with donated syrup from our own Peter Purinton, whose syrup is featured in our bulk section. We also team up with the Department of Agriculture at the Champlain Valley Fair each August to provide cooking demonstrations utilizing local ingredients to showcase our connections to local farmers.
Bicycle Benefits Program
We love it when our customers ride their bicycles to the Co-op! We recently became a participant in Bicycle Benefits program by offering a 5% discount to bicyclists that show their bike sticker attached to their helmet. The Bicycle Benefits stickers are sold at our Customer Service desk.

AFT President Randi Weingarten Responds to
Detroit Public Education Reform Plan Presented by
Governor and DPS Emergency Manager
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and Detroit Public Schools Emergency Manager Roy Roberts yesterday announced a plan to take failing Detroit public schools and place them under a new umbrella called the Education Achievement System.
WASHINGTON—A preliminary glance at the Education Achievement System (EAS) proposed by Gov. Snyder and Emergency Manager Roberts reveals a plan for education reform that was developed without the input of Detroit's educators or community. We are troubled at the lack of teacher and school employee voice in the current plan, especially in light of the hard work Detroit's education unions and school district have already done in collaborating to develop and implement workable solutions for the city's schools.
In school districts across the nation, the AFT and its affiliates have enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to work with superintendents and district leaders to develop education plans designed to turn around struggling schools. In the United States and around the world, successful education systems are those where educators and parents are at the table with administrators and elected officials, developing meaningful education reforms together. At this stage, the EAS plan lacks the input of educators that separates effective education plans from "silver bullet" reform proposals. The AFT and its affiliates in Michigan have already begun examining the EAS plan. We will soon begin to raise questions and provide feedback on what research shows works to improve teaching and learning in Detroit.
There is a tremendous opportunity here to turn around the public schools and create a better future for Detroit's schoolchildren. Capitalizing on that opportunity requires that the voices of educators, parents and the community are part of a constructive dialogue on education reform and improvement for the children and families of Detroit.
# # # #
The AFT represents 1.5 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

Have information about who threw Molotov cocktails into an Ogden LDS church in May? You could end up $5,000 richer, if you share it with investigators.
On Wednesday, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Ogden Police Department jointly announced the reward. They want details leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the blaze at 1590 13th Street.

|Post a Comment
Sometime during the night of May 5, several incendiary devices were thrown through a window, igniting a fire that heavily damaged the building's kitchen area. No one was injured and firefighters were able to contain the flames to the kitchen.
Andrew L. Traver, Special Agent in Charge of the ATF in Denver, said his agency and Ogden Police Chief Mike Ashment's detectives and the city's fire investigators are committed to bringing the perpetrators to justice — but they cannot do it alone.
"We are asking the community to come forward with information that could help provide leads to perfect a criminal case against those responsible for this senseless act," Traver added.
Anyone with information about this crime can contact Ogden police at 801-395-8221, the AFT Arson Hotline at 1-888-283-3473, or the ATF's Salt Lake City office at 801-524-7070.

Once the centre of the Ryūkyū kingdom, Okinawa-Hontō (沖縄本島), or Okinawa Main Island, is a strangely ambivalent place. Locals are fiercely proud of their Ryūkyū heritage, and yet the competing cultures of Japan and America are far more prevalent. To some extent, the island still feels like occupied territory, especially central Okinawa-Hontō, where the American bases and the nearby "American" towns, with their drive-ins and shopping malls, have become a bizarre tourist attraction for mainland Japanese, who come to soak up a bit of American culture.
Fascinating though all this is, it doesn't make Okinawa-Hontō the most obvious holiday destination. However, if you're drawn by the more appealing outer islands, the chances are you'll spend some time on the main island waiting for plane or ferry connections. Okinawa-Hontō's chief city and the former Ryūkyū capital is Naha, whose prime attraction is its reconstructed castle, Shuri-jō, the ruins of which were awarded World Heritage status in 2001. There are also some interesting market streets and a pottery village to explore, and you'll want to take advantage of its banks – not to mention excellent bars and restaurants – before heading off to remoter regions.
Southern Okinawa-Hontō saw the worst fighting in 1945, and the scrubby hills are littered with war memorials, particularly around Mabuni Hill, where the final battles took place. North of Naha, the island's central district has little to recommend it, but beyond Kadena the buildings start to thin out. Here you'll find one of the better "Ryūkyū culture villages", Ryūkyū-mura, and the island's best beaches. The largest settlement in northern Okinawa-Hontō, Nago is an appealing town that provides a base for visiting the stunning Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and exploring the scenic coastline and mountainous tip of the island, culminating in the dramatic cape of Hedo Misaki.Read More
- Naha
Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium
Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium
The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium (沖縄美ら海水族館) is a spectacular facility showcasing the marine life of the Kuroshio Current. The main tank holds 7500 tonnes of water and is home to several whale sharks – the largest sharks in the world – as well as shoals of manta ray and many other fish; the cinema-scope view will hold you entranced. Most explanations are in English and there's an informative section on sharks that dispels many myths about these extraordinary creatures.
Okinawa Prefecture Peace Memorial Museum
Okinawa Prefecture Peace Memorial Museum
The final battle for Okinawa took place on Mabuni Hill (摩文仁の丘), on the island's southeast coast. The site is now occupied by a cemetery and grassy park containing monuments (known as the "Cornerstone of Peace") to the more than 200,000 troops – both Japanese and American – and civilians who died on the islands during the war. A distinctive white tower crowns the Peace Memorial Hall (平和記念堂), which contains a 12m-high lacquered Buddha and small museum. You'll learn more (though not the full story) if you visit the Okinawa Prefecture Peace Memorial Museum (沖縄県立平和記念資料館), which has full English translations throughout. This interesting museum, planned under the anti-establishment regime of Governor Ōta, but completed by the more conservative Governor Inamine, doesn't shirk the uncomfortable fact that Japanese soldiers ruthlessly killed Okinawan civilians. Generally, however, the whole build-up to the war is treated in the usual euphemistic way, and the exhibition ends on an upbeat note with displays on the postwar history of Okinawa to the present day.
The American question
The American question
Twenty percent of Okinawa-Hontō and a small number of outer islands are covered by American military bases, employing 27,000 American military personnel. This in itself has fuelled local anger, but what rankles most is that Okinawa makes up less than one percent of the Japanese landmass, yet contains 75 percent of the country's American bases. The issue is, however, far from black-and-white for the islanders, since the bases provide thousands of jobs and contribute vast sums to the local economy – rather important, given that Okinawa remains the poorest of Japan's prefectures. In addition, many younger Okinawans relish the peculiar hybrid cultural atmosphere that the large number of foreigners brings to the islands.
Opinion to the bases, both local and national, has yo-yoed in the past couple of decades. A 1995 poll revealed a majority of Okinawans in favour of a continued American presence, but with a more even distribution throughout Japan. At that time, only twenty percent of the population wanted a complete withdrawal, but by 1996 the figure had increased to a convincing ninety percent – partially the result of an unfortunate but highly significant incident between the two polls, in which a twelve-year-old schoolgirl was raped by three American servicemen. Mass protests against American military presence were the inevitable result.
Manoeuvrings since then have been largely political in nature, and focused on Futenma, a large US Marine Corps air base just northeast of Naha. In 1996, the American and Japanese governments announced a joint plan to relocate the base to Henoko, a bay to the north of Okinawa-Hontō. This led to protests from the environmental lobby, aghast that the move would demolish precious coral reef in Henoko, as well as having an injurious effect on the bay's sea life. eighty-three percent of Okinawans voted against the plan in a referendum. In 2005, the two governments agreed to move the relocation site to Camp Schwab, an existing Marine Corps base, though this will have similar environmental ramifications. In 2009, Yukio Hatoyama was elected Prime Minister on a campaign promise to move the base outside Japan entirely as the first step in a systematic removal of the American military presence. However, torn between Okinawa and Washington, Hatoyama reneged on his promise, and resigned just eight months after taking office. Regardless of what happens with Futenma, the American issue is likely to rumble on for some time.
Naha festivals
Naha festivals
Shuri-jō is the venue for traditional Ryūkyū New Year celebrations (Jan 1–3) and the Shuri-jō Festival (Nov 1–3), featuring a parade of Ryūkyū-dynasty clothing, dance displays and other performing arts. The Naha Dragon Boat Race takes place on May 5, while The Naha Festival (Oct 10) includes the world's largest tug-of-war – using a rope 180m long and 1.5m in diameter – as well as a ten-thousand-strong Eisa folk dance parade down Kokusai-dōri.
Okinawan souvenirs
Okinawan souvenirs
Those in search of local crafts will find beautiful bingata textiles the most appealing. Originally reserved for court ladies, bingata fabrics are hand-dyed with natural pigments from hibiscus flowers and various vegetables, in simple but striking patterns. Also worth searching out are the fine jōfu cloths of Miyako-jima and the Yaeyama Islands, once gifted in tribute to the local monarchs. Ceramics are thought to have been introduced to the region from Spain and Portugal in the fifteenth century, but Ryūkyū potters concentrated on roof tiles and fairly rustic utensils. Nowadays, they churn out thousands of sake flasks and shiisā – the ferocious lion figures that glare down at you from every rooftop. The exquisite local lacquerware has a long history in the islands, too, having been introduced over five hundred years ago from China, but the glassware you'll find is much more recent: it's said production took off in the postwar years when Okinawans set about recycling the drinks bottles of the occupying US forces.

hey adult humans at the dog park:
just because i'm super cute and i let you pet me does not mean you can pick me up.
is that clear?
also, pick up after your dogs, make them wear collars and tags, close the dog park gate, teach your human kids how to greet dogs and behave at dog parks, and handle your overly-hyper pooches when they try to run me down.
to the woman at the dog park who left both dog park gates open:
not cool. my human, who was off-leash, might have escaped!
you, madam, are the human-who-should-be-on-a-leash of the week!
why do all the bigger doggies always pick on me? huff.
this picture shows why sections of parks for small or inactive dogs are such a great idea. i love to play 'chase me', but that's different than being pestered, chased incessantly and cornered.
disclaimer: i actually liked the dog chasing me in the photo. but a siberian husky and another dog were a little rough with me last night and that's why i wanted to share. this, though, was the best pic we had of me being chased. your humans simply can't get good pics during the times when they're busy protecting you.

Bartek Gawel, CDPR's art director, shares some insight on the importance of head construction for successful character design.
The secret to a good character concept is its head. Not to brag about the eyes as the mirrors of the soul or the number of emotions a human face can express let's just get on with it. Because it's all in the head – believe me.
Any to-be concept artist will have to learn sooner or later how to draw a good face. I decided to take my time and start this little tutorial and share the knowledge, that was gathered by artists and human body experts (scientists to be precise) throughout the ages.
In this episode I'll write a little bit about the first principal which defines the look and character of the head you are designing. Today I will write about the facial angle.
The most important element you will need while constructing the head is the middle of the ear. This is represented by the red dot on the illustration above.
A line crossing this point and perpendicular to the horizon helps us find the beginning of the neck i.e. the place where the neck meets the chest (point A). Traditional sculptors use a special pendulum to find the correct line. It's good if you have an aprentice of any kind to hold it for you, while you're busy with your work.
The models character is determined by the so called facial angle. This concept was used for the first time in the 18th Century by Petrus Camper, a Dutch anthropologist, scientist and sculptor. He introduced a constant head position based upon a line drawn from the middle of the ear (red dot) to the septum (the red line). The second line needed to create the face angle is drawn from the forehead surface with the jaw (yellow line). This angle can have different rays and be even right.
Determining the facial angle allows you to have a base for further head construction and influences the look of the model on an early stage, before you start outlining other elements (e.g. a nose).

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
The Portland Trail Blazers' annual Nike Hoops Camp encourages all kids ages 7-13 to learn from some of the best coaches around on the team's very own practice floor. It doesn't matter whether you're a star on your middle school team or just in the mood to try something new; all skill levels are welcome to come. But you don't have to leave the way you came.
That was especially true this year when Connor Kinard, 7, showed up for camp. Calling him one of the youngest campers would be an understatement, as Connor qualified for the camp age minimum by a mere week. He also had never dribbled, shot a basketball or grabbed a rebound in his short life, either. Oh, and he also happens to live with Asperger's syndrome, which is characterized by difficulties in social interaction.
All of that adds up to one long week at camp, right? Five full days of playing alongside tons of older, taller kids in a completely unfamiliar sport? Wrong. A great story and an even better experience for Connor? You better believe it.
"The confidence level that Connor has gotten this week is something that I could have never given him," said his mother Danielle. "Connor is learning how to be a team player, and that for any kid with Autism and Asperger's is something that they need."
By the end of the first day, Danielle wasn't sure her son would come back for a second. Nobody could blame him if he didn't. But then came camp coach Bryant, whom Danielle credits as the reason Connor stuck with it.
"He's one of the youngest kids and one of the shorter ones, and he didn't come in with much basketball experience; it would be easy to get discouraged," said Bryant. "But that perseverance that he came back with on day two was a huge turnaround."
Where he came in tentative, Connor began asking for the ball during games and communicating better with his teammates. He was just, well, one of the guys.
"It doesn't matter where they start, but it matters where they end up afterward," said Bryant. "And there's definitely been that progression. He's gotten more assertive every day."
And that's what the Nike Hoops Camp is all about for Connor and every kid who walks through those practice facility doors. Kids come in with an array of talents, and the camp staff works with each to develop other skills. Ultimately, though, the camper will determine what and how much he or she develops. The kind of determination that Connor showed last week paired with the enthusiasm of willing coaches can go a long way.
"This is a phenomenal place for kids to be," said Danielle. "These kids are taken care of, and they're inspired. I know that Connor will be back. He already told me he'll be back."
it a sweet story, i am deaf, but i am a excellent shooter that the blazers need in 12 year because i am 13 and mormon.
hahaha connor's such a cool kid. i couldn't believe i was actually seeing him on this blog!
I would like to thank all of the people that made this a amazing week for Connor. He was really mad at me when the next weeks camp was not Hoops Camp. See you all next year. Danielle

I was walking to El Zarape with Ashley for lunch (order the calamari burrito- seriously) and I had this thought in my head, as I often do. Or at least, try to.
Anyway, the thought went like this (hit it): what if you modeled your life after the concept of "no waste"? I had that phrase in my head and was really only focusing on sustainability and the natural environment. But as I thought about life, I thought "no waste" could apply to the way I live life. Here are the levels of this mantra that I can see (so far):
- Environmental- This one seems obvious but to really lessen the negative impact of my life on the world around me.
- Resources- Try not to waste anything (food, money, energy, breaths, etc.).
- Perception- Not every idea or goal will be successful but "no waste" means thinking of them as successes in the sense that I've learned something from them.
- Music- Working on refining the art and becoming more lean and more mean(ingful) with my songwriting, guitar playing and singing.

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney deviated Wednesday from his usual well-choreographed campaign rally for a flying-without-a-net, Oprah-style town hall in which audience members asked questions.
The question-and-answer session at the Ariel Corp. manufacturing plant appeared to be a warmup for next week's presidential debate between Republican nominee Romney and President Barack Obama. The debate will use a town hall format with questions from the audience.
Through seven questions from a friendly sparring partner of an audience at the manufacturing plant, which makes natural gas compressors, Romney, clad in jeans and a white shirt, carried a microphone among listeners and touched on the key themes of his campaign repealing the Affordable Care Act, taking China to task over its currency and trade tactics, cutting taxes and blasting Obama as weak on foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East.
Romney only occasionally employs the unpredictable town hall format, preferring to stick to the well-scripted traditional campaign events, where he usually gives a brisk 15- to 20-minute stump speech.
"We've done them before, and we view them as a good opportunity to greet voters and talk to them directly about some of the concerns they have about how important issues are affecting their community," Kevin Madden, a Romney senior adviser, said of the town halls.
Still, opening himself to questions presents some risks for Romney. He is sometimes prone to gaffes or straying off message when speaking off the cuff. Such a moment happened Tuesday in an interview with the Des Moines Register, in which he said regulating abortion would not be part of his legislative agenda if elected president.
"There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda," he told the paper's editorial board.
The Register reported that Romney "by executive order, not legislation," would reinstate the so-called Mexico City policy that bans U.S. foreign aid dollars from being used to perform abortions. Obama ended the George W. Bush-era policy shortly after taking office.
On the campaign trail and during the Republican primaries, Romney said he is against legalized abortion.
At an Ohio campaign stop Wednesday, Romney told reporters, "I think I've said time and again, I'm a pro-life candidate. I'll be a pro-life president. The actions I'll take immediately are to remove funding for Planned Parenthood. It will not be part of my budget."
Some social conservatives have been wary of Romney on the issue because of his previous support for legalized abortion.
Obama's campaign on Wednesday seized upon Romney's "legislation" remarks, accusing him of trying to hide his "extreme" views in the final weeks before the Nov. 6 election.
"We know the real Mitt Romney will say anything to win," said Stephanie Cutter, Obama's deputy campaign manager. "Voters shouldn't be fooled. Women simply cannot trust Mitt Romney."

Writers work picket lines as TV shows shut down
The WGA strike hits late-night programs first. It will take longer to affect series and films.

In their first full day away from their computer keyboards, the Writers Guild of America members scored several important victories. And those who are not on the picket lines -- primarily television's so-called show runners -- found themselves figuratively on the line, wrestling over whether to return to work.
Jay Leno," "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" and "Late Show With David Letterman" said they were suspending production of new episodes. Steve Carell, the star of NBC's hit "The Office," refused to cross WGA picket lines, and Ellen DeGeneres, the host of the syndicated talk show "Ellen," decided against taping her show in a gesture of solidarity.
CBS said production on its comedy "The New Adventures of Old Christine" was halted, and ABC said it was delaying the premiere of the series "Cashmere Mafia." At the risk of losing their jobs, some members of Teamsters Local 399 decided not to cross the picket lines, and that action might have shut down a small number of shows, union officers said.
More ominous, perhaps, was the sudden suspension of special deals that studios extend to star writers. Fox and CBS began notifying some of their top talent that they would stop paying for staff and development, a tactic other studios were considering.
Less than 12 hours after negotiations between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers collapsed in a West Hollywood hotel meeting room Sunday night, WGA members launched boisterous demonstrations against the major movie and TV studios in Los Angeles and New York, with several top performers visiting the front lines to lend support.
The suddenly out-of-work Leno handed out doughnuts to writers picketing NBC's Burbank studio. "I don't know what we're going to do. I don't know how long it is going to last," Leno said as he distributed boxes of Krispy Kremes. "I've been working with these people for 20 years. Without them I'm not funny. I'm a dead man."
The daylong rallies, scheduled to run until further notice, appeared designed to galvanize the union's resolve -- the last WGA strike in 1988 lasted 22 weeks and cost the industry an estimated $500 million -- and rally support for the WGA's bargaining position.
"You want people to be aware of what's at stake," Carlton Cuse, a writer and executive producer on ABC's "Lost" and a member of the WGA's negotiating committee, said as he took up a picket sign in front of the gates of his employer, Walt Disney Co. "We are the primary creative artists in this medium."
Regular viewers of late-night television will immediately notice the disappearance of their favorite shows, but television dramas and comedies, whose scripts are written well in advance, will continue to appear as programmed for weeks if not months to come. Movies, which often take two years to produce, will arrive in the multiplex as scheduled for at least the next year.
Several issues divide the 10,000-member WGA and the producers, but the most contentious point is supplemental payments, or residuals, for TV series and movies shown on computers and new-media devices such as cellphones and video iPods. No contract talks are scheduled between the sides.
"If you look at iTunes, 'Hannah Montana' and several other Disney shows are among the most avidly downloaded shows -- they are hugely successful on the Internet," Steven Peterman, an Emmy-winning "Murphy Brown" writer and "Hannah Montana" executive producer said as he picketed Disney. "And we make no money from that -- zero."
Nick Counter, the president of the producers alliance, said he was disappointed that the WGA had gone on strike. "A strike is obviously painful for all involved. It costs the companies money and it costs the writers money."
If screenwriters feel they receive scant appreciation from the networks and studios, the people uttering their lines in front of the cameras were openly supportive. In apparent violation of Screen Actors Guild rules saying actors are obligated to show up to work during a writers strike, Carell refused to cross picket lines to work on "The Office," according to an NBC source.
In front of Paramount Pictures, "Dirty Sexy Money" actor William Baldwin served coffee and joined the picket lines. In New York, "Saturday Night Live" comedian Amy Poehler joined a large contingent of writers and actors from the show on the picket line in front of the Rockefeller Center offices of NBC, a subsidiary of General Electric Co.
"All the writers are asking for is to be fairly compensated for all this new media," she said, noting that the strike may force the cancellation of this coming week's show with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Poehler, like many "SNL" cast members, contributes material for the program but is not listed as a writer. She said actors felt torn about the labor impasse. "I think a lot of actors are being made to make some really hard choices," she said.
Also caught in the middle of the walkout are the TV show runners, who serve as both writers and executive producers. As WGA members, they are obligated to stop writing; as producers, they have to ensure that the show somehow goes on.
Warren Leight, the show runner of USA Network's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," was wrestling with that very issue on the picket line. Just before the strike began Sunday at midnight, Leight faxed in a "Criminal Intent" rewrite. Although Leight said he would not write another word until the strike was over, he may be called upon for his input on editing and other responsibilities he has as a show runner. "I'm trying to figure it out," he said.
What's not as complicated, Leight said, is the need to strike. "They made us an offer we had to refuse," he said of the studios. "My sense is they wanted it to come to this."

I swear that mans voice drives me up the wall. Watching this and also keeping up to date on things LMH has done since I think he is only growing to get better and better. Many comment about his looks, but i look more at how his acting is changing and how he is growing as an actor and for that i commend him.

You have to learn what a relationship really means.. get a boyfriend when you're older than 18.. Consider focusing on you're future first. Relationship is not all about kissing and happy things... You must know how to handle it first.

Happiness is something I always fear,
To me ,It is far away and never near,
Patient waiting for over severals years.
Happiness comes, but quickly disappears.
Few days of joy , followed by years of sorrows,
Will I ever get to see a happy tomorrow?
I am happy to be sad ,it forms my routine,
Cant just keep wiping my tears umpteen.
A moment of joy forces me to worry,
Any huge sorrow ,to make me teary?
My tears have dried now and let them be,
I am happy to be sad , as sad can be.
Smiles and laughter, not meant for me,
Darkness and sorrows are my cup of tea,
I fear happiness , it kills me.
Life is mourning,and thats it for me.

Paula Driscoll had a hard time sitting still as a kid, doodled a lot, and often wrestled with the feeling that she should be accomplishing more. But she made it through high school and college and became an elementary school teacher. With three small children at home, she did not feel she had trouble managing her life.
But when her youngest child went to school, she found herself with what felt like too much time on her hands. "I couldn't get anything done," she said. "I had one room I started to paint, another I was going to reorganize, and I could never complete a task. I couldn't stay in the house. I went out on one errand after the next."

Macroamylasemia is the presence of an abnormal substance called macroamylase in the blood.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Macroamylase is a substance that consists of an enzyme, called amylase, attached to a protein. Because it is large, macroamylase is filtered very slowly from the blood by the kidneys.
Most people with macroamylasemia have no serious underlying disorder, but the condition has been associated with:
- Celiac disease
- Lymphoma
- HIV infection
- Monoclonal gammopathy
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Ulcerative colitis
Macroamylasemia does not cause symptoms.
Signs and tests
A blood test will show high levels of amylase. However, macroamylasemia can be confused with acute pancreatitis, which also causes high levels of amylase in the blood.
Macroamylasemia can be diagnosed by measuring amylase levels in the urine. Urine levels of amylase are low. (Urine amylase levels are high in patients with acute pancreatitis.)

Reflection Eternal - Revolutions Per Minute
Production: Hi-Tek
Lead Single: Just Begun
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 12 total votes )
Nostalgia is our best friend, and our worst enemy. On the one hand, nostalgia glosses over the past, smoothing away the rough edges and leaving only a polished sheen. But the same nostalgia that so brilliantly brightens yesterday also darkens today. Of course, the unwavering reality of the present, no matter how incredible, can't compare with the perfect dream that nostalgia has molded the past into, and so we move through the world so busy thinking "It was better then…" that we overlook the joys of the present until, ironically, nostalgia once again grips us …
DJBooth Album Review
No album provokes in me a stronger sense of nostalgia then Reflection Eternal's classic debut album Train of Thought. It was 2000 when the duo dropped their classic album and Talib Kweli's complex yet high-caliber rhymes and Hi-Tek's deeply layered beats served as the soundtrack to the last of my high school days, a time when I fell so deeply in love with hip-hop that I vowed to make the culture the core of my adult life (mission accomplished). It's the type of relationship we have with precious few albums, if we're lucky, and I have it with Train of Thought.
Although Kweli and Tek continued to work together on occasion for the next decade it looked as if Reflection Eternal would become the Ralph Ellison of hip-hop, releasing one classic work and then never another…until now. This week, Reflection Eternal became the oldest sophomores in hip-hop history with their latest effort Revolutions Per Minute, an album that in many ways is probably better than Train of Thought, but nostalgia frustratingly won't let me love nearly as much.
Train of Thought contained a brand of aggressively and organically intelligent hip-hop that we'd never heard before, and thankfully those same core qualities pervade Revolutions Per Minute. When Just Begun first dropped my fellow hip-hop heads went pistachios, and for good reason. Leaning on his jazz roots, Tek crafts an ice-smooth beat that serves as a musical bridge between generations of dope emcees; Kweli and Mos Def, meet Jay Electronica and J. Cole. On Reflection's second single In This World Tek creates one of the bravest beats of his career, daring to combine a collection of soulful samples with militaristically pounding percussion. A lesser emcee would have smothered This World, but Kweli is confident enough to let the beat breathe, and the result is some of the more adventurous hip-hop we've heard in a minute. It's a similar story on City Playgrounds, In the Red and Back Again, all tracks that seamlessly combine Tek's sense of restraint with Kweli's verbose rhyme style to dope effect. Like Jordan in '98, Reflection Eternal can no longer rely on the sheer athleticism of their glory days, but what they've lost in youthful energy they've more than made up for in experience and skill. Come on, you really thought I could go an entire review without a sports metaphor?
Nowhere is Kweli and Tek's development as artists more evident than in the album's lighter tracks. Although their younger selves might have worried about "selling out", an older and wiser Reflection Eternal understand it's completely possible to entertain without compromising quality. Just take the duo's most radio ready track ever Midnight Hour, a cut I originally balked at but grew to appreciate, largely because of Kweli's dynamic vocal performance. Similarly, while seeing Chester French listed as guest artists made me nervous, I couldn't help but nod my head to the bouncing Get Loose, and Long Hot Summer is like a far sultrier version of Brown Skin Lady (sorry, that was my nostalgia for another classic Kweli-affiliated album creeping in). If Reflection Eternal succeeds in sparking the revolution, it will be a revolution you can dance to.
I've listened to Revolutions Per Minute for days straight now, and I honestly can't point out a single significant flaw. Paranoid? That stuttering hook's weird, but it's dope. So Good? Heavily electronic, but dope. Ballad of the Black Gold? Deeper than an oil pipe on the bottom of the ocean. And yet, I can't bring myself to truly love it, and I'm afraid nostalgia is the reason. I've been bumping this album with my newborn daughter in my arms, so maybe in five years I'll look back on it with the same love and longing I have for Train of Thought, but until that day comes, Revolutions Per Minute will remain the other Reflection Eternal album.

Houghton Mifflin, Nov 1, 1991 - Performing Arts - 434 pages
On the set of Warner Brothers' Bonfire of the Vanities, Salamon followed director Brian de Palma as he cast the major parts, orchestrated the shooting, and oversaw the editing while dealing with giant egos. Salamon shows how a big-budget movie really gets made and explains why Bonfire failed miserably at the box office.

Both the District of Kitimat and the Canadian Auto Workers union will fight the revised power deal proposed by Rio Tinto Alcan and the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (BC Hydro), which provides electricity for Alcan's aluminum smelter in Kitimat, British Columbia.
Passage of the plan by the British Columbia Utilities Commission is one of three conditions set by the aluminum company as necessary in order to proceed with a $1.8-billion modernization program for the Kitimat smelter that would raise capacity to 400,000 tonnes a year from 260,000 tonnes currently.

Is It More Important to Have a Mind for God or a Heart for God?
The following is an edited transcription of the audio.
Is it more important to have a mind for God or a heart for God?
A balance is necessary for sure, but both are crucial.
I could probably make a case for each that would make it sound more important than the other, which sounds contradictory. This is because, in a sense, truth is the foundation of all right affections, while at the same time right affections (the heart in relation to God) is the goal of truth.
So you have to ask, Which is more important, the root or the fruit? If you don't have root you don't have fruit. And if you don't have fruit, then the root was pointless. So both of them have their own unique place.
One of the passions of my life is to help people be lovers of truth and lovers of people. If you don't have both then people-loving is going to suffer, and so is the truth.

I don't think it's a secret that I am deeply disappointed with the way I'm being represented in my local, state, and federal governments. I have become despondent with the same old trash-talking election year political rhetoric that promises nothing, yet all the while, makes you think the candidate for office has the power to make things happen once elected.
The Greek word for most political debates is "hogwash." I don't think there's anybody left that truly loves this country enough to simply serve the people. Because our elected officials are only looking for what they can gain from office, they have failed to put their heart and soul into what we elected them to do.
For the past 30-plus years, my ideals and my votes have been buried by lobbyists. Money is buying my freedom out from under me. I just thank God they can't buy my soul.
(Philippians 4: 13) I love the Lord and thank Him for all He does in my life. He is my source of existence and my Savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I would be nothing. But, with Him, I can do all things. He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end. He is the keeper of creation and the Creator of all! He is the Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times. He always was; He always is; He always will be ... unmoved, unchanged, undefeated, and never undone.
He was bruised to bring forth healing. He was pierced to ease my pain. He was persecuted to bring me freedom. He died to give me life. He has risen to become my King. He reigns to bring forth peace.
The world can't understand Him; the armies can't defeat Him; the schools can't explain Him; and the leaders can't ignore Him. Herod couldn't kill Him; the Pharisees couldn't confuse Him; and the people couldn't hold Him. Nero couldn't crush Him; Hitler couldn't silence Him; the New Age can't replace Him; and Donahue can't explain Him away.
He is light, love, longevity, and Lord. He is goodness, kindness, gentleness, and God. He is holy, righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure. His ways are right, His Word is eternal; His will is unchanging; and His mind is on me. He is my Redeemer, Savior, Guide, and Peace. He is my joy, my comforter, my Lord, and He rules my life.
I serve Him because His bond is love, His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life. I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise, the power of the powerful, the ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, the leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers, and the sovereign Lord of all that was, is, and is to come.
And if all that seems impressive, try this for size ... His goal is a relationship with me, and YOU! He will never leave me, forsake me, mislead me, forget me, or overlook me.
When I fall, He lifts me up. When I fail, He forgives. When I am weak, He is strong. When I am lost, He is the way. When I am afraid, He is my courage. When I stumble, He steadies me. When I am hurt, He heals me. When I am broken, He mends me. When I am blind, He leads me. When I am hungry, He feeds me. When I face trials, He is with me.
When I face persecution, He shields me. When I face problems, He comforts me. When I face loss, He provides for me. When I face death, He'll carry me home. He is everything for everybody, everywhere, every time, and in every way. He is God. He is faithful. I am His and He is mine.
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this ... He said it and that settles it for me.
God is in control; I am on His side, and that means all is well with my soul. Amen.
