Ground zero for the gay nuptials fight is the 38-member state senate where, a Phoenix analysis shows, about half the chamber is opposed to same-sex marriage, one-third is in favor, and the balance is in the toss-up category (see "Will the Senate Kill Gay Marriage — Again?," 8.10.12).
Advocates probably have to pick up a half-dozen seats in the senate this fall to have a real shot at passing a bill next year. And in a state dominated by Democrats, performing well in the party's primary was crucial.
But after the polls closed, activists could claim just one victory in the half-dozen most watched races.
It wasn't for lack of effort. The state's leading advocacy group, Marriage Equality Rhode Island, made endorsements and worked to get out the vote in a series of key districts through its political arm.
And Tim Gill, a reclusive Colorado technology magnate who has been investing in state-level races across the country for several years now in a bid to tip the balance on same-sex marriage and other gay rights issues, made a long-awaited play in Rhode Island politics.
He plunked down $20,000 this month for a new group, People for Rhode Island's Future, that backed six pro-gay marriage candidates in the Senate primaries. And he gave $15,000 to Planned Parenthood Votes! Rhode Island, which supported two of the same candidates.
The results were disappointing. One of the candidates, Adam Satchell, beat incumbent Senator Michael Pinga, a West Warwick Democrat who opposes gay nuptials. But the other five candidates that People for Rhode Island's Future backed — Laura Pisaturo, Roberto DaSilva, Lewis Pryeor, David Gorman, and Gene Dyszlewski — all lost, some of them handily.
Pisaturo's race was particularly disappointing for advocates. The lesbian lawyer was challenging Senator Michael McCaffrey, a veteran lawmaker from Warwick who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee and has jurisdiction over gay marriage legislation.
Toppling a committee chairman who opposes same-sex nuptials and is viewed as a possible successor to Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed would have had practical implications, of course.
But the race against a key member of the senate hierarchy had taken on symbolic importance, too. If Pisaturo had won, same-sex marriage advocates could have claimed a big victory on an otherwise disappointing night. In the end, McCaffrey edged Pisaturo 53-47.
Still, advocates established themselves as players in state politics — if not quite as powerful as they'd like.
And Ray Sullivan, executive director of Marriage Equality Rhode Island, insists the fight is not over. Activists are hoping that Democrat Ryan Pearson can topple Cumberland Senator Bethany Moura, a vulnerable Republican who opposes same-sex nuptials, in November.
And Sullivan cited three other Democratic candidates who could bolster the "yes" vote in the senate if elected in two months time. There is, he says, still a path to a majority in the senate.
But after the primary, it is undoubtedly a narrow one.
The marquee Democratic primary race, pitting Congressman David Cicilline against businessman Anthony Gemma, proved anticlimactic.
Cicilline trounced Gemma, with 62 percent of the vote to his opponent's 30 percent. The maddening thing, for Gemma's supporters, is that he easily could have run a more effective race against the vulnerable incumbent.

Sometimes a number of stories come out all at once, and reminds you that no matter the supposed 'distance' from my topic, economics are often central to individual and social practice. All of these stories came in one day, in the Phnom Penh Post.
One of the themes I've been concentrating on in my new research is primitive accumulation in Cambodia. Primitive Accumulation, as used by Marx, is the process by which relatively 'free' peasants, who lived socially off the land via the management and sharing of the commons, were transformed into waged laborers, or those seeking wage labor, the so-called working class. All of this of course has a great deal of contemporary resonance in watching Cambodia (or any number of other places) today. I'm hardly the only person to have noticed this. Anthropologist Iain Baird of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, has been publishing on this topic. I was fortunate enough to meet him in person last year, and he directed me to a number of his relevant articles, which I recommend.
Of course, in Cambodia, one of the great stories of primitive accumulation appear as land grabs. Dey Krahom previously, and Boeung Kak now, become relatively famous because of their location in Phnom Penh, but land grabs have been a constant threat in more rural areas for quite a long time. The Buddha sangha in Cambodia has been confronted with a scandal in the last few months, as activist monk Venerable Luon Savath has been progressively stripped of his ability to rely upon sangha requisites – especially shelter. Banned from staying in capital temples previously, he has now been evicted from Watt Ounalom. Some of his supporters – reportedly from Boeung Kak – helped him move his belongings.
More generally, Cambodia is waiting to hear the US government's decision on import tariffs from Cambodia. Cambodia's export markets are not terribly diverse, and therefore highly dependent on state-to-state relations with its few customers. The United States and the European Union occupy the biggest seats at the table. As a result, decisions on tariffs in the US make enormous changes in Cambodia. While the Cambodia garment industry has been adding jobs in the last quarter, the reduction or elimination of select tariffs would almost certainly result in the rapid addition of more jobs. This is absolutely necessary if Cambodia is ever to experience significant secondary industrialization and the development of a more varied urban workforce. Dependency on agricultural exports and garment work is a recipe for constant crisis. But, challenges in the judicial sector (widespread perceptions of corruption, e.g.) and in retention of profits (expatriation of profits, e.g.) remain the largest challenge in this regard.
Finally, after a series of mass faintings at factories, in which employers and upstream brands have promised investigations, etc., the Arbitration Council has declared a strike over irregular pay and 8 other significant problems illegal, and ordered the workers back to their stations. The union in question the Cambodian Coalition of Apparel Workers Democratic Union (C.CAWDU) has accepted the decision, but this is significant in so far as it appears to be setting the stage for the new norm that the government and the Garment Manufacturers Association of Cambodia (GMAC) are hoping becomes reality after the passage of the new Labor Law.

Havelock High student faces charge of peeping
Feb 25, 2013 (Havelock News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- A Havelock High School student was arrested last week for allegedly placing a cell phone in a bathroom in an attempt to record female students.
Demetre Lakwanne Frazier, 18, of Havelock, was charged with secretly peeping into a room occupied by another person, Havelock Police Chief G. Wayne Cyrus said. The charge is a felony.
"It was alleged that Mr. Frazier was using his cell phone to record female students in one of the bathrooms at the high school," Cyrus said.
Cyrus said that Craven County Sheriff deputies served Frazier with warrants last week.
A female student discovered the phone in the bathroom, according to sources.
"From what we can tell, it appears as this was a one-time occurrence," Cyrus said. "It doesn't appear to be anything long term." Frazier was released on a $1,000 bond. Craven County District Attorney Scott Thomas said his office filed a motion to have the bond increased because the charge was a felony. Thomas said the motion was scheduled to be heard in court on Monday, but because of a judge's conflict with the case, the case was continued and now will be heard on March 18.

Main Dishes
Chicken Veracruz
Flavor From The Gulf of MexicoChicken Veracruz is a tender, tangy Mexican-style chicken that simmers in GOYA® Tomato Sauce and GOYA® Pickled Jalapeńo Peppers.
This main course, from Mexico's Veracruz region, was first conceived with red snapper and gets an update for families that love new combinations of chicken and Mexican flavors.
Serves 4
Prep time: 15 min.
Total time: 40 min.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs.)
GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper, to taste
Ľ cup GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1˝ cups)
2 tsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic, or 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/8 tsp. GOYA® Oregano Leaf
1 cans (8 oz.) GOYA® Tomato Sauce
12 GOYA® Manzanilla Olives Stuffed with Minced Pimientos, thinly sliced
2 tsp. GOYA® Capers
˝ GOYA® Bay Leaves
1 GOYA® Pickled Jalapeńo Pepper, finely chopped (about 1 tbsp.)
2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups cooked CANILLA® Extra-Long Grain Rice
1 lime, cut into wedges
|Place chicken breast between plastic wrap sheets; using mallet, pound chicken to Ľ" thickness; repeat with remaining breasts. Season chicken with adobo. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until light golden brown on both sides, flipping once, about 7 minutes; set aside.
|Add onions; cook until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and oregano to pan; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Add tomato sauce, 1 cup water, olives, capers, bay leaf and jalapeńos to pan; bring tomato sauce mixture to boil.
|Transfer chicken to pan; cook, flipping once, until coated in sauce and cooked through, about 15 minutes more. Remove chicken from pan; stir remaining oil into tomato sauce mixture.
|To serve, divide chicken and sauce evenly among serving dishes; sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with rice and lime wedge.
Use a tortilla press to Flatten Chicken in Seconds!
Pounding chicken to Ľ" thickness helps it cook quickly and evenly. But if the thought of struggling with the mallet makes you want to skip the recipe altogether, instead, use your tortilla press to do the hard work! Place the chicken breast in zip-top plastic bag (or between two pieces of plastic wrap). Then, place the breast in the middle of the tortilla press and apply even pressure to flatten the chicken in a snap.

The Facts About Genital Herpes
The Basics of Genital Herpes
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). Genital herpes affects both men and women.
Herpes is an STD that comes and goes, meaning there are periods when the virus is not actively causing symptoms. During the time between outbreaks, you can still spead herpes to your sexual partners.
In most cases, symptoms may not appear. In others, they may be mistaken for another kind of skin condition. Here are some common genital herpes symptoms you should be aware of:
- Small, red bumps that appear on or near the genitals, anus, mouth, or thighs
- Sores and blisters
- Pain or burning during urination in both men and women
- Pain or itching in the genital or anal area
If left untreated, the sores and blisters will fade away. This does not mean the virus is gone. People with herpes have repeated cycles of outbreaks. Over time, the outbreaks are shorter in duration and less severe than the first outbreak. The number of outbreaks may also decrease over time.
Genital herpes is diagnosed with a swab of the blister. If the blister has healed, then blood tests may be done.
Genital herpes is spread by direct skin-to-skin contact. This can happen when the herpes virus comes into contact with the vagina, penis, anus, or mouth. For example, if you have a cold sore on your mouth and have oral sex, you can give your partner genital herpes.
Herpes is most contagious during outbreaks, so you should abstain from sex when symptoms are present. Keep in mind that the virus can also be transmitted when symptoms are not present. Some people contract herpes from partners whose symptoms are mild or completely absent, so the person does not know that they are infected. Others become infected from people who do not tell them of their condition.
Pregnant women can transfer genital herpes to their baby, with serious infant health consequences. Herpes also puts the mother at risk for miscarriage and premature birth. Contact your doctor right away if you have been exposed to, have symptoms of, or have a diagnosis of genital herpes.
Treatment and Prevention
Genital herpes is not curable, but there are medications that will help reduce symptoms and the number of outbreaks. Antiviral medications are prescribed by your doctor and are most effective when started at the first sign of symptoms. When taken as suppressive therapy, antiviral medications can reduce the number of outbreaks and decrease the chance that you will spread the virus to your partner. Antiviral medications include:
- Acyclovir
- Valacyclovir
- Famciclovir
Your doctor may refer you to a therapist for counseling. Diagnosis of genital herpes can be an emotional experience. Herpes carries with it a social stigma that can be hard to recover from. Therapy may be individual or in a support group. Find the best option that works for you.
The best prevention for STD transmission is to avoid sexual contact. There are other steps you can take to reduce the chances of spreading herpes:
- Have sex in a monogamous relationship.
- Always use condoms. Condoms do not provide 100% protection since they may not cover all lesions.
- Avoid sexual contact during an outbreak.
- Take antiviral medication as prescribed by your doctor.
It is important to note that not everyone with a herpes-infected partner catches the virus. Some people in long-term relationships with an infected partner never do.
Do not avoid doctors or treatment because you feel ashamed. Genital herpes is a controllable condition, so contact your doctor and seek support if you need to.

Seems real high in protein,38/16, how do pups do on it stool wise and growth wise?
I have a pup that has been on it for 5 weeks now (13 week old BLF). Soft stools during the transition of Iams Puppy (what the breeder fed her) to Orijen. Her stools are now well formed but are still somewhat soft. Sometimes she excretes some unformed soft stool at the end. She seems to be doing fine on the food and I will continue to feed it to her. You may need to give it a week or so in transition and start by only giving about 20% of Orijen and increase by an increments of 20% once your dog adjusts to the diet change.
Check out Acana, not quite as hot. I'm feeding wild prairie to my 10 week old and he's doing very well. I chose the wild prairie because its lower in calcium. (1.5)
company that makes Orijen also makes Acana
I looked at it online and was leaning towards acana but i couldnt find the puppy food. Where you getting yours at?
I have not heard of Orijen Dog Food? Do they have any longterm research facilities or any track record? Do they sponser any of our dog trial activities? Just asking cause I have not heard of them. Living in Alaska is sort of like living under a rock? Don
I looked on Dog Food Advisor's list of Dog Food Recalls that goes back to 10/4/2009 and didn't see any listed for Orijen. http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-recalls/

Roads closed by flash flooding Wednesday
Stationary front remains parked over southern Wis.
MADISON, Wis. - Another 2 inches of rain fell in Madison Wednesday morning, and caused major problems for an area that has seen a lot of rain in the past week.
About 20 Dane County roads were closed because of flooding as of 7:20 a.m., according to Dane County Emergency Management.
Madison police said traffic was being redirected at the following roads Wednesday morning because of high water:
- Watts Road at Gammon Road
- Eau Claire at Buffalo
- Deming Way at Blackhawk Drive
- North Stoughton at Lexington
- University Avenue at Campus Drive (Watch crews clearing sludge Wednesday morning on University)
- North Park Street at Spring Street
- Mineral Point Road at Science Drive
In Rock County, 12 roads were being monitored and two were closed by the sheriff including:
- CLOSED: STH 59, between STH 138 and East Union Road
- CLOSED: South Carvers Rock Road from East Creek Road to East Larsen Road
- MONITORED: USH 14 From Evansville to Union
- MONITORED: USH 14 and Cravers Rock Road
- MONITORED: USH 14 and Emerald Grove Road
- MONITORED: Turtle Creek -- Clinton
- MONITORED: Sugar River Park -- Avon Township
- MONITORED: CTH G and Philhower Road
- MONITORED: CTH X for a mile East of Clinton
- MONITORED: Clinton Corners Road between CTH X and the state line
- MONITORED: STH 67 and Pearson Road
- MONITORED: West Avon North Townline Road and South Avon Store Road
- MONITORED: Tolles Road North of CTH M
- MONITORED: The area of 10503 Kidder Road
The water is receding in Waunakee near South Division Street and Knightsbridge Road but the road is still blocked off.
Neighbors in the area said earlier Wednesday morning it was a lot worse and the water actually reached out to the sidewalk.
Part of South Division Street and Knightsbridge Road is still blocked off after Six Mile Creek overflowed into the street early Wednesday morning.
Lots of people in Waunakee have been stopping to take pictures of the scene because while the creek has flooded many times it has never been this bad.
"We saw some pictures on Facebook of some of the area creeks that were really high, looked like a lake or river and we saw the road closed and knew it was pretty high," said Robb Wallney of Waunakee.
Businesses in the area were unaffected by the overflow however they did say they had to detour around the blockage to get to work Wednesday morning. Neighbors were also fortunate the water didn't make it to their basements.
Traffic on Highway 78 outside of Mazomanie due to a mudslide and debris on the road. Dane County highway crews worked quickly to clear the road.
Things were also slow-going for drivers in Janesville Wednesday morning because one of the exit ramps of Interstate 39-90 was covered in water.
County highway crews kept a close eye on the scene to make sure drivers trying to get off the freeway exit at Highway 14 westbound knew to slow down.
Officials told News3 there were no injuries or crashes there.
McFarland was also hit by the heavy storm.
The biggest problem area was near Valley Drive and Cook Street where several homes and the street were flooded.
Traffic was blocked off and neighbors said water got to 4 feet high. The street was cleared up around 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Over the past five days, the Madison area has received nearly 5 inches of rain, and the areas of Grant and Iowa counties have picked up between 10 and 14 inches of rain. This has led to flooding and mudslides in the western portion of Wisconsin, which would be made worse by continued rainfall.
For the year, southern Wisconsin is roughly 10 inches above the average for precipitation, making it one of the wettest years on record so far.

These tangy tortilla roll-ups feature tender chicken strips and veggies seasoned with Asian-inspired ingredients.
Can't find fresh plums? Try chopping canned plums for the sauce. You may also be able to find bottled plum sauce in the Asian foods aisle, although it will be smooth rather than chunky.
Save preparation and cleanup time by using 3 cups coleslaw mix (8 ounces) instead of the savoy cabbage and carrots.

Hematologic Oncologist
Chief, Leukemia Service
Conditions Treated:
About Me
I am a board-certified hematologist and oncologist and Chief of the Leukemia Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Memorial Sloan Kettering has a very distinguished history in the development of cutting-edge effective therapies for a wide variety of leukemias. Physicians at Memorial Sloan Kettering were among the first to develop effective therapies for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, and acute promyelocytic leukemia.
My clinical expertise is in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but I also see patients with the chronic leukemias and myelodysplastic syndromes. My patient-care philosophy is to always imagine every patient as a member of my own family. With this in mind, I know I am going to make the best decisions I can for each patient.
Not all acute and chronic leukemias are alike. As we learn more about these diseases, we are discovering that leukemia cells from different patients have many different genetic abnormalities. My research has been focused on developing novel treatments using drugs that target specific molecular genetic abnormalities in leukemia cells. I am particularly sensitive to the importance of developing new treatments for older adults with leukemia, treatments that are more specific to the leukemia cell and therefore will be less toxic to normal cells so that patients have fewer side effects.
The Leukemia Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is in an excellent position to take advantage of new findings about the genetic underpinnings of leukemias and to develop new and better treatments. We have many physicians focused on leukemia who have the clinical and laboratory expertise to carry out clinical trials evaluating the effectiveness of new so-called targeted therapies, and we have developed a large number of clinical trials to evaluate these agents.
Before joining Memorial Sloan Kettering, I was on the faculty of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center for more than 20 years. There I directed the Leukemia Program, was Co-Director of the Hematologic Malignancy Program at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, and was Associate Chief of the Division of Hematology-Oncology. I completed fellowship training at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and University of Washington at Seattle.
I am an Associate Editor for the journal Blood, the major periodical publishing new information regarding leukemias and other blood disorders. I am currently Chair of the Leukemia Committee of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), one of only three large cooperative oncology groups in the US responsible for coordinating large clinical trials of new therapies for patients with all of the acute and chronic leukemias, myelodysplastic syndromes, and myeloproliferative neoplasms. The ECOG, in collaboration with other cooperative oncology groups in the US and around the world, has carried out many important clinical trials which have set the standard of care for the most effective treatment of many of the leukemias and related disorders.

There is a dangerous stretch of highway in North Mississippi and it doesn't involve deer barreling toward your vehicle.
In the 30 miles it takes to get from Corinth to Baldwyn, travelers go past the four most dangerous teams in North Mississippi boys basketball: Corinth (4A), Biggersville (1A), Booneville (3A) and Baldwyn (2A).
The four share more than connections to Highway 45. The four teams are back in their respective state championship games Thursday and Friday, sharing space in Jackson hotels, restaurants and the court at Mississippi Coliseum.
"We try to play a really hard schedule and play people on the road, people that are playoff caliber teams," Booneville coach Michael Smith said following the Blue Devils' 56-48 overtime win against Forest in Saturday's semifinal.
"When we play Baldwyn, it's more intense than this game we just played."
The boys spend the regular season beating up on one another. Corinth, the Daily Journal's No. 1-ranked team after the regular season, beat No. 3 Biggersville three times. Biggersville beat No. 4 Booneville. Booneville beat No. 5 Baldwyn twice and Baldwyn beat Biggersville.
Corinth and Booneville are both in the finals for the third straight season. Biggersville and Baldwyn are here for the second year in a row.
And that's just the boys. Less than 15 miles from Booneville is New Site, whose Lady Royals are back in Jackson for the fifth straight season.
That's two counties – Prentiss and Alcorn – with five teams in state championship games.
Two teams from the Hwy. 45 corridor have won gold balls in the past two seasons – Booneville beat Corinth for the 3A title two years ago and New Site won it all last season.
As for the support, the gyms back home are always packed. That may be why nerves aren't much of a factor – if any – when the teams play inside the spacious "Big House" in Jackson.
"You play Corinth, Biggersville and Baldwyn year in and year out, you're going to get better," Smith said.

I know that when i used XNA it was possible to render the XNA frame into an ImageField (over a kinda hack.. im not sure anymore how it was done exactly) and then just drag n drop the GUI with the C# WindowsForms editor (in VS).
But how is it done with DirectX? What do people mostly use?
or is it even possible to do use WindowsForms even with DirectX and C++?
I presume that if the target platform is linux and windows its QT, gtkmm and wxwidgets but what is for example used in an AAA titles like the SC2 Editor, Skyrim etc.

Per se is correct. I am trying not to go there. I recognize that all Muslims are not sold out to Wahhabi style Islam. but it is growing and they are not leaving even peaceful believers much of a choice.I'm not accusing you of being anti-Muslim per se,
There is a very progressive mosque here in Toledo, Ohio that has actually elected a woman president. Which drove the zealots nuts, there is quite a power struggle going on. I don't know of any mosque that is that progressive.

Twin sisters Brooke, Brittany Baldwin lead Central
LA CROSSE, Wis. - The Central girls basketball team, one of two remaining unbeatens in MVC Conference play, is dominant this season on both sides of the ball.
The Red Raiders lead the league in defense, allowing only 30 points per game. On offense, they're led by two junior guards, two twin sisters: Brooke and Brittany Baldwin.
"We go as they go," said Central coach Nahmie George. "They're so quick and athletic and can get to the basket. Brittany gets to the basket pretty much at will and Brooke has really developed an outside jumpshot, and that's really made teams have to respect us on the perimeter.
"They have a little bit of that twin telepathy and they make passes to each other that I don't think they could complete to any other girl. They've played together for so long, so hopefully the twins can keep up and keep doing what they've been doing."
The Baldwin sisters and their team have a big couple of days ahead.18005378
The Red Raiders host city rival Logan Thursday night. Saturday, they face Onalaska in the third of four games of the MVC Showcase at Viterbo.
At 1:30, Tomah takes on Winona Cotter in non-confference action. At 3:30, Sparta faces Logan in a matchup of the 2011 co-conference champions. Onalaska and Central meet at 5:30, and the top two scoring teams in the league, Holmen and Aquinas, play at 7:30.
All proceeds go to scholarships for MVC Conference Schools.

Lawmaker wants mandate for officer-involved shooting investigations
Soglin open to changing reviews of officer-involved shootings
MADISON, Wis. - Madison Mayor Paul Soglin says he's open to considering a new procedure for investigating officer-involved shootings.
Soglin answered questions from WISC-TV for the first time Tuesday about the investigation into a November shooting death at the hands of a Madison police officer.
His comments came as a Republican state lawmaker starts a legislative effort to take investigative power away from an involved officer's department after a shooting.
Soglin called a news conference to "correct misconceptions perpetuated in a recent news report," according to a release from the mayor's office.
WISC-TV aired a story Monday about procedures used in Knoxville, Tenn. to review police shootings. Soglin declined comment in the story in an on-camera interview Monday.
In a phone call with WISC-TV later, he reiterated an earlier press release saying he was "receptive" to independent reviews when it came to other law enforcement agencies conducting investigations.
Soglin said Tuesday he was open to changes to the procedures for reviewing police shootings as long as they were allowed under state statutes.Soglin talks to reporters about police shooting investigations
"I said that I would comment when the three pending investigations are completed. That was not accurately portrayed in the newscast," Soglin said.
Officer Stephen Heimsness is the subject of three internal investigations of conduct that occurred before his involvement in the Nov. 9 shooting of Paul Heenan, according to the police department.
Heimsness was cleared of wrongdoing in the fatal shooting, and Chief Noble Wray has said the additional probes are not related to the shooting.
Soglin declined to reveal why the three pending investigations are keeping him from commenting.
He would not say whether he supported a review panel such as the one Knoxville uses, and said he didn't know enough to comment about the legislative efforts of Rep. Garey Bies, R-Sister Bay.
Bies said he is working on a bill to be introduced this fall that would create a statewide mandate for how officer-involved shootings are investigated.
"I think the perception thing comes in, especially when you have one agency investigating themselves," said Bies, a 30-year veteran of the Door County Sheriff's Department. "You've got to have some independence."
Amelia and Nathan Royko Maurer, Paul Heenan's former roommates, said they will continue to fight to have police reopen their friend's case.Lawmaker wants mandate for officer-involved shooting investigations
They said the Heenan case and all other police shootings should get independent review, even if it takes an effort at the Capitol to make it happen.
"If there wasn't a problem, there'd be no reason to change the state statutes," Amelia Royko Maurer said. "(Police) know that, the mayor knows that, we know that, so we're not going to stop."
Wray has repeatedly said he's open to options on how to handle investigations in the future, although he's said the Heenan case doesn't need further review.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I must admit, I am conflicted, the Tusken Raider is an iconic character from SW and they seem to have done a pretty good job capturing it, but I'm sooooo broke coming up. I knew preordering it there was a chance I wouldn't keep it, but now that it's nearly here I'm just not sure what to do. Just the other day I was looking at the page to see if it'd hit into my next pay period so I could keep it, but it's going to fall at least a week short of that and I am looking at heavy expenses right now. And in a few months it's the Snowtrooper, which is going to hurt quite a bit.
I've decided to pick this order up for sure, I just moved my money around to ensure it will get to me in a timely fashion. I really hope it's excellent, the prototype looked great.
So, is nobody else getting this piece? Nobody else excited? To me, the reason I pulled the trigger is because the Tuskens are the first real alien life we meet in Star Wars (ok, after the Jawas, but they're "cute" aliens so somehow it loses impact, also the only features they have are that they're short and have robes) and they're not exactly villainous but they're definitely hostile.
I'm very excited about this one, and yes, I'm keeping this order.
Was it the prototype that you saw at SDCC? The pics from that did look great and I'm hopeful the production piece will deliver.
To paraphrase what you mentioned, the Tuskens are a truly iconic part of "classic Star Wars". Their first appearance is exciting, and they really gave off an intriguing vibe, making one wonder "what are they?" Some "native" species? Primitive beings, tribal warriors, aggressive nomads...it all fit the bill...add to that their distinctive howl and you've got one of the most memorable creations in the saga.
The figure looks terrific...one main aspect that is exciting to me is the versatility there will be in displayed and photographing it. The many layers of the outfit will lend themselves well to creating multiple warriors with just one figure, depending on how the robes are worn, shaped, draped or maybe even some layers removed for effect. It's the first figure we've seen in a long time that will lend itself to so many different looks. Some of that was apparent in that fine display Sideshow had at SDCC this year...very cool!
Sideshow has had great success with the alien species of SW...and they have also hit the bulls-eye with textiles and outfits/gear as well. Here's hoping this Raider ends up among their best efforts...can't wait!
I don't know if it was a proto or a production piece at Comic-Con. I'm guessing proto or hand-painted test-shot only because they had several there and they were still months away from production at the time, but they are odd about such things - they didn't mention it in the panel.
The layers of the outfit also allow you to display it as the Ep 1 or Ep 2 Tusken, I believe. I ain't buying 2 though.
I dunno if you read my article post about this, but the exclusive accessory that you and I are getting isn't actually a gun stock, it's a second kind of totokia war club. I think that's pretty interesting, moreso than the way they propose it. They did the same thing with SE Vader actually in misidentifying the exclusive accessory, he was listed as having a Force-choke exclusive hand and it was actually the "you are part of the Rebel alliance and a traitor and a very naughty young lady, now take her to her room!" posed hand.
Holy crap, your comment just made me realize that this will be MY FIRST ALIEN IN THE LINE!!! I'm not counting Maul or Ventress obviously. Is that right? I think that's right, that's kind of exciting.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Just updated this article after an email I got from Sideshow saying cards were going to start charging tomorrow. I'm eager to get my figure, I've gotten all my ducks in a row on this order so it'll be on my doorstep no matter what.
Sounds great! I can look forward to (hopefully) seeing this one hit my door next week!
Really looking forward to this one....let us know what you think when you get it, JT!
No shipping notice today, but they did bill so hopefully early next week it'll arrive. And you KNOW I won't hold back on my opinions.
My account was charged on 10/11...still no Tusken in the mail. SSC cust. service rep told me they were having "issues with customs"...just an F.Y.I.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
Jon, I just saw in my account that the charge fell off my card, so I contacted Sideshow and they said the same thing - held up in customs - and that the pre-auth fell off but it won't affect anything, and that the pieces are now in the warehouse and are expected to be shipping and full billing starting today.
I asked if the issue was Homeland Security having to pat down all the Tusken Raiders as they entered the country, she said it was but that the Sandpeople persevered.

ABERDEEN – In an effort to clean up the appearance of the city, the Aberdeen Board of Aldermen voted Tuesday, March 15, to take a step to utilize "green spaces" within the city's limits.
"We have a lot of vacant lots in the city," said Aberdeen Mayor Jim Ballard. "I propose we make these pieces of property available to an individual or neighborhood for use for gardening. We could lease these lots for a small amount — like $1 or so."
According to city attorney Robert Faulks, the lease agreement will help in keeping the property maintained.
"Whoever takes on a lease would have to agree to take on and keep up the maintenance on the properties," said Faulks. "It would also relieve the city from the upkeep on these lots."
Ward 2 Alderman Cloyd Garth said he was in favor of the gardens project, but he did have some questions he wanted answered before he cast his vote.
"Are we going to have people that complain about this," he asked. "Are people going to complain about having a garden in their neighborhoods? I'm not against this at all, I'm just asking some questions."
The board voted unanimously to make these properties available on a case-by-case basis.

Dirs. Yoshihiro Nishimura and Naoyuki Tomomatsu
When Keiko (Eri Otoguro) plummets to her death after arguing with vampiric love-rival Monami (Yukie Kawamura), her father turns all 'Dr Frankenstein' and resurrects her as part of a fiendish experiment. Bolting together a new body for her, he enables his daughter to return from the dead as Frankenstein Girl. The stage is now set for the most ludicrous and elaborate showdown since Godzilla bitch-slapped Megalon.
Part soap-opera, part monster movie mash-up, Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl is highly imaginative, utterly bonkers and boasts the most wicked sense of humour since The Evil Dead. Amongst various scenes of blood-splattered mayhem, contemporary Japanese pop-culture is mined for twisted laughs by the director who brought us Tokyo Gore Police. Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl is as over-the-top, uber-kitsch and gorily twisted as you'd expect from a film with this title. Perhaps most surprising of all, is the fact that it ain't half bad!

Mike Brooks makes fine smoothbores and has the knack to age them. Here is one that is representative of what you might have bought in the 1770's to hunt with and for your militia drill days.

With the jug choke you could expect it to be good out to 40 yards. Switch to patched round ball and you can hunt whatever big game you want. Load it with buck and ball and take North America away from the British Empire. The stock design is different than most of you have seen but it is very comfortable for heavy loads and offhand shooting.

With news of JPMorgan's (JPM) $920 million London Whale fine, and potential gyrations in the larger banks linked to tapering, investors still looking to buy into the financial sector might want to consider regional banks.
These smaller banks in many cases haven't seen the big rallies enjoyed by their larger peers and are often less exposed to risky products, notes Tim Holland, fund manager at TAMRO Capital Partners. He also sees these names benefiting as interest rates rise and the industry as a whole ripe for further consolidation.
His favorites:
Bank of Ozarks (OZRK) is a $4 billion assets retail and commercial bank based in Little Rock, Ark., which operates in Central and Northwest Arkansas, Dallas, Texas, Georgia and throughout the Southeast US, including North Carolina. Arkansas principal industries include manufacturing (dominated by lumber and wood products companies), agricultural forestry and tourism. Fifty-seven Fortune 500 parent firms operate in the state, including Wal-Mart Stores, Tyson Foods, Dillard Department Stores, Beverly Enterprises, and Alltel. The state's economy has experienced a slow but steady improvement post-recession, and is known as a business-friendly environment, which Bank of Ozarks can leverage.
FirstMerit Corp (FMER) is a $23.5 billion assets institution based in Akron, Ohio that managed throughout the financial crisis without a quarterly loss. With 416 banking offices and 452 ATM locations in Ohio, it also operates in Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Although slammed by the great recession, Ohio is in steady comeback mode, experiencing growth from the successes of the shale gas industry and steady repair of durable goods manufacturing and an increase in wholesale trade, giving FirstMerit a good footprint for its own growth.
Glacier Bancorp (GBCI) is a $7.9 billion assets institution based in Kalispell, Mont., that owns and operates a series of small town community banks throughout Montana as well as Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. A pick up in housing starts mean good news for the state's forest products industry, it also is a positive sign for Glacier, which operates acquired banks under their own brand and with existing staff, believing in the value of relationship and the local touch.

Enjoyed the conference. Went to 2 tutes - Randal Schwartz makes complicated concepts easy and I thoroughly recommend his tute "Perl References, Objects & Modules".
Met Tom Limoncelli, who's recently written a book on Sys Admin concepts. I'm told it's very good but haven't read it yet - am hoping to win it in a current comp. Can't buy it for a while yet because we apparently sold all copies available in Melbourne during the conference. Please let me know if that's incorrect.
Elizabeth Zwicky gave an interesting tute on troubleshooting, which I also recommend. I'm hoping she'll be at next year's conference in Hobart.
As usual, there isn't any. This is really just a way of keeping folks up to date with me. Assuming people still read this page.
Volunteered as an editor for SAGEwire which is still in beta. Am not prepared to be an author, so you don't see much of me there.
Did some work on the SAGE-AU library project. Not exactly opensource but kinda close. We're putting together a bibliography of all SAGE-AU writings - conference papers, newsletters, Sage Advice, etc.
That was odd!
About a year after Ashka died, I decided I could handle having a cat in the house again, so Sus and I headed off to the RSPCA (local animal shelter) and met a lovely grey tabby who was very friendly. We trundled off to the adoption counter with the cat's number, but couldn't adopt because it was too late in the day. On a whim, Sus leant over to see the cat's name. You'll never guess - Ashka. And he was about a year old, which means he was born just about when Ashka-the-black died. That was a bit freaky.
So that we don't have Ashka I and Ashka II, I decided early on to call them Ashka-The-Black - my beautiful black-and-white stray, who adopted me when I was particularly lonely - and Ashka-The-Grey - who was surrendered to the shelter because his owner was going into hospital for an extended period. Ashka-The-Grey is a far calmer and less demanding cat. A lovely, friendly, be-in-the-middle-of-things, sit-beside-not-sit-on, gentle cat.
And odder still...
So when Ashka-The-Grey started limping, I took him to the vet at the RSPCA. A couple of visits later (they hadn't found what was wrong), a nice lady vet was telling me:
She may have arthritis
He. Ashka is a neutered male.
Not from where I'm standing
So I got her to show me and you know, she was right. Our neutered male cat is actually a female cat.
That explains the lack of a masterly gerrrowwwelll and the gentle calmness perhaps. (Ashka-The-Black was a late-neutered Tom and he looked, sounded and acted like it)
So I started worrying about that weight she's been putting on recently.
Is it the result of cat treats?
Or kittens?!!!!!
Another visit and an even nicer gentleman vet told me not only that Ashka is not pregnant (phew!) but that she had slipping patelas (one on each hind leg) and needed an operation. So in she went last week and we now have an oddly-shaved and rather bored grrlcat who is confined to a single room - which has had all high things removed, so there is no jumping or landing on those newly-fixed-up legs. Other than boredom, she's fine.
The New Job
And I can't sign off without mentioning the new job. It's mostly described in my updated bio. I'm in a larger team, looking after the same systems plus a few hundred more. Working directly for the bank now, which has its advantages.

YAY! The Berry has been picked out. X3 is gonna be awesome. I am looking forward to this movie and am glad to see the great actor Ian McKellan coming back. Hugh Jackman better return! Or else.......
One way to out think people is to make them think you think they'll think what you are not really trying to get them to think what you think.
X3 should be great! I hope Iceman turns into Ice!
Sounds like Joss Whedon may possibly be approached for directing X-3. He's currently doing a bang up job on Astonishing X-Men, and clearly has a lot of respect for the characters from how he writes Beast, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Shadowcat, and Wolverine. I think he'd be a good choice. Here's the news from Superhero Hype, Coming Soon, and even AICN.
Whedon Would Love to Direct X-Men 3
Source: ComingSoon.net Wednesday, August 11, 2004
ComingSoon.net has broken the news that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" creator Joss Whedon is interested in taking on X-Men 3...
ComingSoon.net got a chance to talk to Joss Whedon about the rumors that he may be interested in taking on X-Men 3, now that Bryan Singer is out of the picture. Whedon says that nothing has been offered to him for "X3," but if offered, he would LOVE to do the third film (hint, hint Fox!).Joss Whedon on X-Men 3, Buffy & Angel

ComingSoon.net got a chance to talk to Joss Whedon about the rumors that he may be interested in taking on X-Men 3, now that Bryan Singer is out of the picture. Whedon says that nothing has been offered to him for "X3," but if offered, he would LOVE to do the third film (hint, hint Fox!). On the comics side, Whedon is writing "Astonishing X-Men" right now for Marvel.
Whedon has been an online fan favorite to replace Singer in the director's chair. Singer is directing Warner Bros.' new Superman adaptation instead. 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios still have X-Men 3 scheduled for a May 3, 2006 release date.
Also, Whedon tells us that he is interested in doing a "Buffy/Angel" film as well, but he knows that Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz wouldn't want to participate in the feature. He adds that the "Buffy" animated series is still in the planning stages.
Whedon is currently directing Serenity, an adaptation of his Firefly TV series, for Universal Pictures.MTFBWY and HH!!Joss Whedon Talks To Hercules About X-MEN 3!!
I am Hercules!!
I finally got to meet Joss Whedon yesterday. I cant tell you everything we talked about yet. But heres one of the most interesting parts I can relay:
I have not been offered [X-Men 3]," said Whedon. Would I like to make an X-Men movie? Thatd be *****in. I actually really like those actors and I really like those characters and theres a lot that could be done with it and itd be a romp. But Im not setting my sights on that, I setting my sights on exactly one thing, which is [Whedons feature directorial debut, Serenity.]
Serenity wraps principal photography in about 10 days.
Would the folks at Marvel like to hire Whedon? Major Tom sent in this snippet of an IGN Filmforce interview with Marvel Enterprises head Avi Arad from February:
IGNFF: At one point, wasn't Joss Whedon up for (Iron Man)?
ARAD: Joss Whedon never wrote a draft of it. We wished! Believe me, we tried very hard, but he got busy with Firefly.
IGNFF: Are there any hopes to tap him again at some point for another project?
ARAD: Oh yeah! We're going to land him He's a tough cookie, but we'll get him.

That's my jacket!
I couldn't agree with you more. I myself an an actor and have played many supporting roles and I don't feel like I always have to be the star of everything. Acting should be about telling a story. Just because she won an Oscar does not mean that she needs to be the star in every single movie she is in. Perfect example, the dreaded Catwoman that just came out. Ok, I could tell that this was going to be a flop the instant I saw the trailer for it. She certainly picked the wrong movie to try and launch a franchise from. As for her having her own Storm movie, uh what would be the point? The character is not strong enough to have a movie of her own, and personally I never really like Storm all that much in the comics. They can easily get rid of the character for the 3rd X-film for all I care, there are plenty of other X-Men they can use. I for one would like to see Gambit, Angel, and Beast. I would also like to see Iceman "ice" himself up like in the old comics.Originally Posted by Hellboy
As for a Wolverine spinoff, I think it would be a good idea. Hugh Jackman certainly does a good job in the role and there is definitely a fan base for it.
By the way, I just got back from New York and I saw Hugh Jackman's show "The Boy From Oz" and he was awesome in it. Plus I got his autograph after the show.
"Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun."

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
Just read it on IMDB. Interesting choice.....Grammer definitely has the intellectual voice for the character, but it's tough to imagine him in action sequences. Also mentioned in the article is the inclusion of Juggernaut as one of the evil mutants. Just hope we also get more of Collossus in action in this one.
If true, this is a terrible choice. Beast's power isn't his intellect, it's his superior agility and acrobatic ability. Kelsey Grammer definitely doesn't have either of those.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
I actually think it's a great choice for it. Why? Because of his voice. He has a great voice to play out Beast and quote poets and make others feel stupid. And in movie world, anybody can have super strength and agility.

OXFORD – It usually takes at least a decade for an academic program to earn recognition for excellence from a nationally acknowledged organization, but the Center for Intelligence and Security Studies at the University of Mississippi has managed to accomplish that feat in less than half that time.
The Director of National Intelligence recently designated the CISS as an Intelligence Community Center of Academic Excellence. Along with the recognition that comes with such an honor, CAE schools receive several years of funding from the federal government to develop courses, fund student study abroad opportunities and run conferences and workshops.
"I am especially happy about what this means for our students," said Carl Jensen, CISS director. "It is further validation that the IC approves of our educational model and the recognition will open doors for Ole Miss students in the future."
While many universities and colleges have applied for the CAE program, few were selected. Other CAE schools include Penn State, Virginia Tech, Howard University, Creighton University and the universities of Maryland, Texas at El Paso and South Florida.
"With this award, we can fund opportunities for UM students that will broaden their horizons, increase collaboration with students from other CAE schools and enhance their education," Jensen said.
Jensen and Melissa Graves, CISS project coordinator and instructor, began outreach efforts with Jackson State University in 2010 to establish a Mississippi consortium to apply for CAE status. UM and JSU were able to leverage their complementary strengths, which made them especially competitive in the application process.
"Members of the IC tell us over and over how they support our approach to educating students," Graves said. "Many characterize it as 'an ROTC program' for intelligence. By that, they mean we seek out high-performing students in a wide variety of disciplines and educate them so they are prepared for entry level positions in the intelligence world."
Established in 2008, CISS has graduated 18 students, with most alumni serving in the intelligence community, government (including legislative aides for senators) and the military. The program has 38 enrolled this semester.

I like Legends Devastator, it's fun for what it is, and looks decent doing it. It's hardly exceptional though, limited mobility and the face kinda hangs off it, and some parts are a bit fragile. Most of the Legends bots within are decent though, I think I liked 5 out of 7 of 'em. The idea of such tiny robots transforming on their own and then combine into this bigger thing makes it special.
Turbo, I decided not to do the SDCC Gentle Giant McQuarrie Vader, but I don't have enough $ right now to front you a preorder on it. Thoughts?

Body found near missing man's car near Mt. Spokane
ELK, Wash. - Authorities confirm they have found a body near where missing Spokane Valley resident Sam Counts' car was located near Mt. Spokane Friday afternoon.
The medical examiner will confirm whether or not the body found Friday afternoon is that of Counts, 71, who disappeared a week ago, however deputies believe that it is in fact Counts.
Earlier in the day, Air 1 located Counts' vehicle in the 29000 block of North Blanchard Creek Road. The area where the car was found is heavily wooded west of Mt. Spokane.
A Search and Rescue team was called to the area where the car was found, a command post was established, and teams with bloodhounds on the ground were supported by Air 1 above in searching for Counts.
The Air 1 crew spotted the body about a quarter mile away from where Counts' car was found.
Counts left home Nov. 23 around 4 p.m. to go the Franz Bakery at the intersection of Fancher and Sprague in Spokane Valley to pick up a loaf of bread for his wife.Missing man's body recovered
"It was close to four when he left, mom said, and we're just afraid that he got there and they were closed and then he became disoriented and turned the wrong way," Counts' daughter, Sue Belote, said in an interview earlier this week.
He hadn't been seen or heard from since he disappeared.

An Oscar-nominated role in Amour has made 85-year-old Emmanuelle Riva a star for the second time. She talks to Kim Willsher.
Emmanuelle Riva is not given to sentimental nonsense. Finding herself an international star at 85, however, does have a fairy tale element about it, admits the surprise star of the surprise hit French film Amour.
"This film is such a wonderful, marvellous, extraordinary gift. I cannot tell you how happy I am. Completely happy," Riva says. "The whole thing is like a fairy tale. Everybody knows there are very few roles for older actresses. Almost none, in fact. And that is what makes all this so exceptional."
Riva wasn't at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (Bafta) Awards ceremony this week to hear she had won the best actress award. She was saving herself for the Gallic equivalent, the Cesars, in a fortnight. Then the Oscars - on the day of her 86th birthday - beckon.
The acclaim for Riva and Amour are exceptional in an industry that has always preferred its mainstream stars to be fresh of face, lithe of figure and delivering their lines in English. Riva, the oldest nominee ever for the best actress category, has a very Gallic disdain for such public adulation.
"I cannot possibly come to London. How can I? I have to go to the Cesars and the Oscars and already I am so, so tired and so, so harassed," she says with all the good grace she can muster. "For five months people have not left me alone. I have done 15 interviews a day, sometimes. After the Oscars I intend to rest and I can tell you that I cannot wait until it is after the Oscars."
What? A star who cannot wait for her 15 minutes in the spotlight to be over? Riva is not being curmudgeonly (well, not much), but it is easy to forget that she is not playing at being an octogenarian. Besides, she enjoyed global recognition more than half a century ago in the cult 1959 film Hiroshima, Mon Amour, the Alain Resnais film seen as a catalyst for France's nouvelle vague movement.
In that film, in which 30-year-old Riva played an unnamed French woman talking to her young Japanese lover about the bombing of Hiroshima, it is her voice, poetically repeating the same lines, that stayed etched on the memory long after the black-and-white credits rolled. Speaking from her Paris flat, 54 years on, Riva's voice is still as mellifluous and as gently mesmerising.
In Amour, directed by Michael Haneke, she is Anne, a retired piano teacher in her 80s, seeing out the twilight years in the bourgeois comfort of a chic Paris apartment with her husband, Georges, played by the equally veteran French star Jean-Louis Trintignant, until a series of strokes sparks dementia, physical disability and a slow dismantling of her body and mind. With the exception of one scene, the film is set in the couple's flat, adding to the sense of walls closing in on the devoted couple.
The critics have raved about Amour: to some it is a "beautifully calculated demise" or "old age that refuses to be swept under the carpet and mindlessly 'othered"'; to others it shows "Haneke's flair for the emotionally brutal" and is an "overlong unblinking meditation on life's last act".
Riva says she knew she wanted the role as soon as she read the script.
"I knew intimately that I could do it, that I had arrived at a point in my life to do it. It seemed like a miracle. Haneke had seen Hiroshima, Mon Amour. Clearly, he wanted to see me again after all these years. I was in his head perhaps. He thought I could play Anne, so we met for lunch. Afterwards we filmed one scene; the scene in the kitchen when Anne has her first absence. Haneke said it was the most difficult scene in the film. Afterwards we looked at the rushes. He had seen other actresses, this was only natural, but he said it was me who had touched him most.
"He had already chosen Trintignant to play the husband. When I knew it was Trintignant, I thought we would work well together on the film. And we did. Nobody who has seen the film can doubt that this is a couple who love each other, a couple everyone can believe in."
Riva, the only daughter of an Italian signwriter and his wife, was born in eastern France. She decided as a child she wanted to be an actress, but for a girl living in a provincial village, from a modest family with no connection to the world of theatre or cinema, it seemed an impossible ambition.
"My father wanted me to continue my studies. To do what ... who knows? I knew my passion was acting. But in the meantime I had to do something so I learned to sew. My parents certainly didn't decide my destiny was as a seamstress, as some have written."
Legend has it that Riva's father was painting a shop sign when the owner, who also ran the local amateur dramatics group, asked if he knew of a young girl interested in taking a role in the next play. Afterwards, Riva, then in her early 20s, left for Paris where she enrolled in acting school.
"I would have liked to have started acting at 17 years old, but it was a miracle in itself that I even got started at all."
After Hiroshima, Mon Amour, described by director Eric Rohmer as "the most important film since the war, the first modern film of sound cinema", Riva shunned many "commercial" roles.
"Because I turned down offers, they stopped calling. They forgot me. You make an empty space and the empty space comes to you," she once said.
Haneke told the New York Times last year: "As a young man I'd been captivated by Emmanuelle Riva in Hiroshima, Mon Amour. But after that I lost her from view."
In the past half century, Riva did not completely disappear. She worked on the stage until 2001 and had roles in Three Colours: Blue and Skylab, the Julie Delpy drama, and wrote books of poetry, but even in France was known only by serious cinephiles. Which makes her second 15 minutes of fame even more extraordinary.
"Of course, I am totally in this role. I don't have any regrets because I couldn't have done a role like this at 40 years of age. This film arrived at the exact age of my life. What regrets could I possibly have?" she says.
She insists she had no idea Amour would be such a success and to think so in advance would just "rot my head".
"How could I say no to this film? A project so marvellous, of such quality with such a director. I didn't ask questions, I just said yes," she says. "They said the film's story would make people afraid, would put them off. It hasn't. The truth is this story could happen to anyone. It could happen to me, it could happen to you; it's about the very important subjects: life, love death."

The Captain Antilles post I made and your excellent responses sparked a great idea, in that we seem to be able to discuss the merits of unproduced figures we'd like, one dude at a time.
To that end, I would really like a Biggs figure in the Academy Uniform from the Lost Scenes. It was actually filmed, and the sculpted head could eventually be used to do a Biggs X-Wing Fighter Pilot figure, sans removeable helmet. But the unique look of Biggs' uniform, the flowing cape, etc. would make for an interesting new collectors' figure. I think most fans have seen the lost footage on the Insiders' Guide or Magic CD-ROMs, or pictures in their old ANH storybooks that included that scene, like the novel.
Would you like to see Biggs made?

Jalen Steele is back on the bench, but this time it's not because of an injury.
The Mississippi State junior guard has been suspended indefinitely for an unspecified violation of team rules, first-year coach Rick Ray announced Saturday. No further details were given.
Steele, a 6-foot-3 shooting guard, has been MSU's most experienced player due to offseason attrition. But he missed eight games during non-conference play due to a wrist injury.
A knee injury cut short Steele's freshman year, and then he played in 33 games with 16 starts last season. This year, he's played in 13 games with 11 starts, averaging 9.5 points per game and shooting 34.5 percent from the floor.
Steele has struggled to find an offensive rhythm since returning from the wrist injury on Dec. 30. He had 21 points at Georgia on Jan. 12, then 15 at Tennessee two games later.
Since then, however, Steele has averaged 6.4 points and shot 24.4 percent, including 23.8 percent from 3-point range. He had 15 points last time out, in a 93-75 loss to Ole Miss on Wednesday.
His suspension leaves MSU with six available scholarship players. Ray was in a similar situation in November after Steele got hurt and forward Colin Borchert was suspended three games.
Ray hasn't been afraid to make discipline a big part of his program. Besides the Steele and Borchert suspensions, he booted Shaun Smith and Kristers Zeidaks from the team prior to the season for repeated violations of team rules.
The Bulldogs have also dealt with season-ending injuries to three players, including senior forward Wendell Lewis. That's forced Ray to use assistant coaches and team managers during practices.
With two walk-ons, State has an eight-man rotation.

Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Three things are not concealed and He forgives everything else to whomever He wills: the one who dies and has not associated anything with Allah, the one who was not a sorcerer nor a follower of the sorcerers, and the one who did not have rancour towards his brother
Does this mean mean that every other sin is forgiven except these 3 things?
Even with repentence?
