Mullah Sangeen Zadran is listed by the U.S. State Department as the "shadow governor" for Afghanistan's Paktika Province and a commander of the Haqqani network. He was among six fighters killed Friday by a drone attack in the North Waziristan tribal district of Pakistan, according to Pakistani intelligence officials.
Zadran was also involved in the 2009 capture of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl of Hailey. He was identified by the SITE Intelligence Group, an organization that tracks terrorists, standing next to Bergdahl in a 2010 videotape released by Bergdahls captors.
Bergdahl's parents, Bob and Jani Bergdahl, were informed of Zadran's death early Friday morning, said Col. Tim Marsano, a spokesman for the Idaho National Guard who has fielded questions for Bergdahl's family.
"They don't have any comment," Marsano said.
Captured on June 30, 2009, Bergdahl is the only U.S. soldier taken prisoner in the war in Afghanistan. He is believed still held by the Haqqani network, though a senior Haqqani official last December denied the group had Bergdahl.
Its unclear what effect Zadrans death could have on efforts to get Bergdahl released. The Taliban this summer offered to free Bergdahl in exchange for the release of five senior Taliban operatives held at Guantanamo Bay.
Im confident that my brothers and sisters in arms will continue to diligently pursue the safe return of Sgt. Bergdahl, Marsano said.
The drone that killed Zadran fired two missiles at a sprawling militant hideout outside Ghulam Khan, near Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.
Zadran was tied to many attacks using improvised explosive devices in the border region, the State Department alleged. They said Zadran was also responsible for kidnappings of Afghans and foreign nationals, and that he is believed to have planned and coordinated the movement of hundreds of foreign fighters into Afghanistan.
The State Department designated him as a terrorist in an August 2011 order. The United Nations made a similar designation.
Zadran served as a senior lieutenant to Haqqani network leader Sirajuddin Haqqani. U.S. officials consider the Haqqani network to be one of the most dangerous factions fighting American troops in Afghanistan.
Several hours after the drone strike, clerics announced Zadrans death over mosque loudspeakers in Miran Shah, the main town in North Waziristan, and urged residents to attend his funeral, witnesses in the town said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. Five Pakistani intelligence officials said their agents had confirmed Zadran's death.
A spokesman for the Afghan Taliban, however, denied that Zadran had been killed. Spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said the commander is alive in eastern Afghanistan's Paktika province.
The remoteness of and the danger in Pakistan's tribal areas makes it difficult for journalists to independently confirm such incidents. Militants often initially deny the killing of one of their own.
Agents were investigating the identity and nationality of the other five men killed, the officials said. They declined to be identified because they were not authorized to brief reporters.
Pakistani intelligence officials say hundreds of people attended Zadran's funeral later in the day. Later, the Taliban took his body to an unknown location for burial, residents and the officials said.
North Waziristan is a tribal region home to a mix of Pakistani, Afghan and al-Qaida-linked foreign militants, who used the remote border region as a base from which to launch attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Friday's strike came less than a week after a U.S. drone killed three foreign militants in an abandoned seminary in the same region.
The U.S. drone program causes extreme tension between Pakistan and the United States. Washington says it needs to use the unmanned aircraft because Pakistan refuses to engage fighters in the remote area. Pakistan says its troops are already weighed down fighting militants along the Afghan border.
Pakistan has routinely criticized the strikes, calling them a violation of the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. On Friday, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry again called for an end to the drone attacks, saying such "strikes are counterproductive, entail the loss of innocent civilian lives and have human rights and humanitarian implications."
Also Friday, thousands of supporters of Pakistan's anti-U.S. groups rallied in Islamabad, vowing to defend the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty. The rally was organized to mark the Defense Day of Pakistan, the day on which Pakistan claims its forces repulsed a 1965 Indian attack.
Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba the group blamed for the 2008 attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai that killed 166 people led the rally. Yahya Mujahid, a spokesman for Saeed, said they had planned the rally weeks ago.

Detectives with the Tampa Police Department have released surveillance photos of a man leaving an apartment complex where a security officer was shot to death Wednesday night.
This person of interest was seen riding a bicycle away from the murder scene of Michael Valentin.
Investigators are asking for the public's assistance in identifying this man so they can talk to him about the shooting.
According to a TPD report officers were dispatched to the Grande Oaks Apartment complex in the 2400 block of East Hanna Ave. just before 8 p.m. Wednesday in response to a shots fired call.
Valentin, 38, worked for Critical Intervention Services and was on duty at the complex when he was killed. The victim is survived by a wife and two young children. He began working for CIS last month according to a statement issued by the company.

Stop asking about how Japanese people in Japan feel about Katy Perry's performance
I see this all the time when people call out cultural appropriation and racist bullshit in the US or other western countries.
"Oh but look at netizens in Korea, they think it's cute!"
"Chinese international students at my university don't even think this is such a big deal."
"Look at these comments from Japanese twitter accounts, they love it!!!!"
"Do people in Malaysia even care? Stop making such a big deal out of this. We blow everything out of proportion."
That. Is. Not. The. Point.
First of all, this is analogous to "my *insert poc* friend thinks it's okay, so it must be" except you've extended it to the entire fucking foreign country. And no, it's not okay. It is not okay because those individuals don't even LIVE in the country where this is all occurring. Japanese people from Japan did not grow up watching their parents get made fun of for their accented English. They did not grow up having American classmates scrutinize the breakfast or lunch that they bring from home.
This is not about the international community. This is about the Asian American community here. WE are here. WE have grown up here being bullied by the rest of you for our food, our clothing, and the traditions we attempt to celebrate with our loved ones. WE are the ones who had to feel ashamed of our parents or grandparents for not being "American" enough. WE are the ones who hated our "flat faces" or "slanted" eyes or "smelly" lunch food.
AND THEN. After all that we have attempted to do to reject our culture to become more like you, YOU have the fucking audacity to TAKE what you've TAUGHT us to reject, and USE it to raise your NON-Asian self to the next level of approval from your peers. And suddenly, everyone loves what you've done with our culture. YOU are the expert, not us. Our culture is so cool. Our culture is so fashionable. But only when it's not on our hands.
So when Asian Americans are telling you that it's racist, and you try to trump our words with those from across the seas, shut up. Seriously. Shut up. Our parents when they came here were from across the seas, and you didn't give a shit about their words when they came here. You did your best to silence them with your hate. My heritage is from across the seas and you had no problem criticizing me for it when I was growing up. So why is it okay for Katy Perry to parade around like that? Especially since there were so many (TOO many) inaccuracies in her portrayal too?

In the second retirement of a key county administrator in two days, County Counsel Warren Jensen has announced his last day will be Sept. 29. Chief Deputy Counsel Rita Neal will replace Jensen, effective Sept. 30, for a 4-year term.
Jensens announcement follows by one day that of County Administrative Officer Jim Grant, who will leave in the fall. Both men had long planned their departures.
Jensen, 66, has been with San Luis Obispo County since 1986. He said he and his wife have some travel plans and a backlog of things around the house to attend to, including boxes of photos going back 30 years to sort.
Jensen succeeded Jim Lindholm, who was the first San Luis Obispo County Counsel.
Asked what he will remember, Jensen quickly alluded to the great bunch of people he worked with, beginning with Lindholm, going forward to Neal, and including many others in between.
As to challenging cases, he said the David Edge-Gail Wilcox case sticks out. Edge and Wilcox, the countys top two administrators, both were fired by the Board of Supervisors in 2009, and the ensuing legal action and public scandal lasted most of the year.
Neal, who began with the county in 1998, said she was honored and humbled to be chosen by the Board of Supervisors. She, too, praised the solid management team now in place, and gave Grant a great deal of credit for leading the effort to bring about that change.
Neal said she will continue her offices tradition of giving thoughtful, accurate, well-researched legal advice to the Board of Supervisors.
In announcing the appointment, the board praised Neals superior work and contributions and said she had the right combination of skills and leadership.
She has advised numerous county departments, has successfully handled complex litigation and is well-versed in all matters of governmental law, the board said.
Neals contract is on the board agenda next Tuesday. She will make $181,875 with benefits totaling $89,851, the same that Jensen began with four years ago.
The board has not announced a successor to Grant. Supervisor Frank Mecham said he expects to fill the job from within.

I wrote this column at the last minute.
(And Ill save you the the trouble: Oh, you mean you dont do that every time?)
Im ashamed to admit it, but I must be honest. Im a procrastinator.
Ive been in the game for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I just always thought that everything else was more fun than doing my schoolwork, so thats what I did. The stakes rose in high school, but so did the hormones. When there was studying to be done, I just slept instead, or if I couldnt, I was moody. Once I got to college there was Facebook, and all bets were off.
Most of the time, I got away with it, which only encouraged me to push my limits further. Parents, teachers and roommates lamented my poor study habits, which I acknowledged but ultimately ignored. And I made it through school, the only direct evidence of my problem being one or two papers turned in that didnt quite end.
The thing is, though, somewhere along the line, poor study habits become ingrained as legitimate character flaws. And the longer you do regular business with procrastination, the harder it is to escape its lieutenant the Internet and crony Snooze Button.
Take, for instance, the many ways I put off writing this column, originally intended to discuss the Monday Night Football game in which the team I (minority) own had a victory stolen by replacement officials:
Apoplectic about the football game, I resolve to write a column about it. Understanding I wont be in a rational mind-set to do so, I spend the rest of the night reading about the game, further roiling my temper.
Still upset after a night of sleep, I go for a run.
I realize that nobody wants to read an angry sports rant. I do some cooking, all the while brainstorming subconsciously.
I remember Looper comes out this week, a movie about time travel and meeting past/future versions of myself. It would be fun to talk to my past self and shouldnt take too long to write. So instead of getting it out of the way, I listen to the new Mumford & Sons album.
Snack break.
I remember I already wrote a column where I go back into the past to talk with myself. I also remember that its my friends birthday, so I spend a half hour looking at pictures of the two of us on Facebook from the past seven years.
Snack break.
Out of ideas, a nap is in order. At 2 a.m.
Snooze. Snooze. Snooze. Times 40.
A quick trip to the Wikipedia page for the 1994 live-action adaptation of Rudyard Kiplings The Jungle Book for the name of actor who played Mowgli reminds me that no, I dont know anything about British imperialism in India and yes, it would be irresponsible not to take advantage of the wealth of information at my fingertips.
I realize what Ive just done and know I need to start writing. And about what other than one of my favorite demons? So there you have it, and here we are. Looks like Ill get it in in time, too, which will only encourage
Editors note: Andys column was submitted without ending. What a shock.
Andy is well aware what procrastination is a lot like, as well as what, in the end, hes doing to himself.

You cant be all things to all people control your time. Something has to give. Make time for the most important commitments and take time to figure out what these are. Time management is a systematic approach to the time of your life applied consistently. The basis of time management is the ability to control events. A study was done some years ago that revealed symphony conductors live the longest of any professionals. Looking into this longevity, researchers concluded that in no other occupation do people have such complete control over existing events.
In his book, Time Power, Dr. Charles Hobbes suggests that there are five categories of events:
- Events you think you cannot control, and you cant.
- Events you think you cannot control, but you can.
- Events you think you can control, but you cant.
- Events you think you can control, but you dont.
- Events you think you can control, and you can.
There are two major issues about control:
- Each of us is really in control and in charge of more events than we generally like to acknowledge.
- Some things are uncontrollable. Trying to control uncontrollables is a key cause of stress and unhappiness.
With the competing demands that exist for your time, you probably feel as if much of your day is not in your control. Feeling not in control is the enemy of time management. Feeling not in control is one of the major causes of stress in our daily lives, too.
Make time decisions based on analysis. Take a look at how you currently divide your time. Do you get the little, unimportant things completed first because they are easy and their completion makes you feel good? Or, do you focus your efforts on the things that will really make a difference for your organization and your life. Events and activities fall into one of four categories. You need to spend the majority of your time on items that fall in the last two categories.
- Not Urgent and Not Important
- Urgent but Not Important
- Not Urgent but Important
- Urgent and Important
Manage procrastination. If you are like most people, you procrastinate for three reasons.
- You dont know how to do the task,
- You dont like to do the task, or
- You feel indecisive about how to approach the task.
Deal with procrastination by breaking the large project into as many small, manageable, instant tasks as possible. Make a written list of every task. List the small tasks on your daily, prioritized To Do List. Reward yourself upon completion. If you do procrastinate, youll find that the task gets bigger and bigger and more insurmountable in your own mind. Just start.
These tips for managing stress and change will help you change your actions and your outlook. Best wishes as you implement these ideas. Live a great life.

Monitor Employees Legally
In order to keep electronic data safe corporations are using technology to monitor their employees. Below are some helpful links that describe the various monitoring technologies and resources that are currently being used in the work place.
Legal Monitoring Tools
What the government uses to monitor cyber space
The Wall Street Journal obtained documents that detail the different technologies that the government uses to monitor what goes around on the internet. The article discusses the various applications of hacking, intercepting data, analysis of the data, web scraping, and anonymity. Included are links to various other documents about these tools and applications.
Contract with Industrial Security Firm
A model contract that outlines the most important considerations when making a contract with an Industrial Security Firm regarding data security. These include services provided, reporting procedures and confidentiality, licensing, bonding, indemnification, billing statements and payments, contract dispute or termination, and signatures of the parties. It also provides an example of a hypothetical report created by the Industrial Security Firm.
About Industrial Security Firms
There is a need for a Industrial Security Firm to protect companies from employee theft and help punish offenders. They operate on the private sector and offer both preventative and investigative services to help small companies prevent/limit employee theft. There are several legal implications of tracking/monitoring employees that companies and ISFs must follow in order for employees to maintain their reasonable expectation of privacy.
PRISM and Privacy, What Could They Know About Me?
Most people are aware that there is a lot of data and information about them floating around, but most people do not realize exactly how much exists. Companies being aware of your interests based on web searches, online shopping, and social media is a very common and fairly accepted form of tracking. Companies can obtain this data, or other similar data, through traditional means or by means of cell phones, transportation systems, and mobile applications, which are some less widely known sources of information gathering utilized.

The chair creaks as you settle onto it. The candlelight flickers. All around you the ravenous faces of your so-called friends twist in delight as you slowly open the box laid out on the table. Welcome to Dangerous Games! Each week, we'll feature a horror/thriller/monster tabletop game you should be playing. Don't be scared… roll the dice… what's the worst that could happen?
Letters From Whitechapel
The year is 1888. Mist clings to the cobblestone streets as the lamp lads make their rounds lighting lanterns. The drunk, the bawdy, the dirty, the smelly... and those who would do evil lurk the causeways and alleys of the Whitechapel district of London. In the middle of the night a woman screams - and Jack the Ripper has killed again!
In Letters from Whitechapel, two to six players take on the roles of Jack the Ripper and constables trying to find him. Playing with a fully detailed map of the Whitechapel district from that era one player navigates the maps as Jack the Ripper while the other players try to figure out where he's headed. It's a tense whodunnit where the forces of good race against the clock to stop the killings! Whose side are you on?
Game Mechanics
The game plays very much like a mix of Clue, Battleship, and Risk. The player controlling Jack moves his character without moving a character pawn. He or she has a sheet where they detail which steps they took in the city. The map is laid out with 199 circles linked together by dotted lines. Each circle is numbered, and Jack moves through streets and alleys from adjacent number to adjacent number. If Jack takes five victims before the constables can find him, he wins.
The players controlling the constables must investigate those circles and create a trail of clues determining where Jack's been and where he's headed. With the use of bingo-chip like tokens, they mark the circles and keep track of his path. If the constables can track Jack before he kills five times (equalling four game turns), the constables win!
Replay Value
Because this game is structured like a mystery, it changes every time. I could see it becoming repetitive if a playgroup had a set player who always played as Jack - the other players would learn his style. But if you and your group keep switching up who plays which roles, there will be plenty of twists and surprises.
Overall Impressions
I played and reviewed another Jack the Ripper deduction game here a few months back called Mr. Jack (check out that review here), which was strictly a two-player game. That game feels so completely different from this one, even though the subject matter and basic game mechanics are the same. Mr. Jack was about moving pieces, using abilities, and generally trying to corner a killer. This game is all about strategy and there are large points in time where both sides of the field will feel completely lost, only to stumble on an easy way out of trouble (if you're playing Jack), or a juicy new clue that gets them back on track (if you're playing the constables). If you like the themes and general setting of Whitechapel during the Jack killings, you'll flip out for this game. We've spent plenty of time tracking killers in games, but this one feels the most like real detective work.

The problem with being the resident 'staff' photographer is that you hardly ever make it into a photograph. Usually this suits me just fine, but last week was the end of my maternity leave and I demanded to be photographed with Lily. We took a road trip up to White Flower Farm and made a stop at Carol Peck's Good News Cafe for lunch. Of course the one nice shot didn't end up metered properly, but it's better than nothing!
As I write this on the eve of my first Mother's Day, I couldn't resist re-posting this photo with my mom. While she is busy spoiling Lillian rotten, I have a whole new appreciation for everything she made possible in my life.
On a side note, what is going on with my bangs?

Yes, Yakima Keys are ALL in-stock and shipping is FAST!
Change Key Available will not unlock a locked core! The Change Key is used to install/remove lock cores only when they are in the unlocked position.
We stock multiple quantities of each key. Shipping is FAST! Choose from USPS Priority Mail, FedEx Ground, FedEx 2 Day or FedEx Overnight during checkout.
Your Yakima lock and key system number can be found in two places. The easiest is on the old key. The number should be engraved on the head of the key. Yakima lock and key numbers start with the letter "A" and end with a three digit number. (Example: A135) Of course, you might not have any more keys. The second place to find your key number is on the inside of your lock core. To remove the lock core from your Yakima accessory (bike rack, ski rack, etc.) you will need a "master key" which should have come with your locks when purchased. This key has no teeth. Fully insert the master key into an "UNLOCKED" lock core, wiggle, pull and remove core. The number should be etched on the in-side of the lock. If you no longer have the master key we can replace those as well. If all your Yakima lock cores are locked and you have lost all the keys you must first have a locksmith unlock one lock core then remove core with master key to find the number.

Former rodeo trick rider shares memories
By Janie Gould
Sparky Dent could do a difficult maneuver known as Roman riding. She would stand with one foot in the saddle of one horse, and the other foot in the saddle of a second horse. She says the hard part was making sure the horses stayed together.

When it comes to the end of the regular season, the Hillsdale High baseball program just doesn't do easy. But the Knights' nail-biting formula sure seems to work.
A year ago, Hillsdale's roller-coaster final week of the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division season concluded with a dramatic 10-inning loss at rival Aragon that ruined the Knights' designs on their first Bay title and appeared to end their pursuit of a Central Coast Section playoff berth. But the next day, Hillsdale landed a surprise at-large bid, and promptly rolled all the way to the Division III title game as the No. 16 seed.
This year, a midseason swoon put the Knights' postseason hopes on life support, but Hillsdale promptly responded by winning five of its final six Bay games, including a 4-0 home win over Aragon on Friday afternoon that locked up the league's final automatic CCS bid.
Hillsdale (17-9, 8-6 PAL Bay) finished in fourth place, narrowly edging Terra Nova, which entered the week in a three-way tie for second but finished in fifth after dropping two games to first-time champion El Camino (15-10-1, 11-3). While Terra Nova (14-11-1, 7-7) is left , Hillsdale coach Neal Donohoe was thrilled his team ensured its CCS ticket with a frantic push that bodes well for its playoff hopes.
"We once again put ourselves in a position where every game at the end was meaningful, which is the best practice for the playoffs," said Donohoe, whose team is riding a four-game win streak.
In the league finale, Knights ace Eddie Pagano (4-4) delivered a clutch effort, hurling a shutout to propel his team into the playoffs. The senior right-hander allowed six hits against Aragon (9-16-2, 3-11), while striking out five and walking none.
Kody Barden hit a solo home run, and Tyler Kelly doubled and drove in a run to lead the Hillsdale offense.
Aragon, which finished last in the Bay, received two hits apiece from Trevor McNeil and Mitch Auer. McNeil threw all six innings, allowing five hits and just one earned run.
Now Hillsdale awaits its placement in the CCS field. The seeds will be announced later today, and the first round begins on Wednesday.
The Knights can't help but look back toward their stunning postseason run a year ago – and hope they can produce an encore.
"The kids definitely are really excited," Donohoe said. "They're talking about how much they want to get back to San Jose. We hope we're peaking at the right time."
Carlmont (18-8) and Burlingame (16-11) both won on Friday to finish tied for second place at 9-5. , while .

A day after a local used car salesman was indicted by a federal grand jury for violating the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, a Spring Hill man filed a civil suit against the same business.
Timothy Smith filed the civil lawsuit in the Cullman County Circuit Court against Carl Nuss, owner of North Alabama Wholesale Autos, contending that the auto dealer violated the Truth in Lending Act. According to Smith, he had been saving for roughly half a year to make a $1,500 down payment on a vehicle, only to have it repossessed five months after it was purchased because he couldn't keep up with the interest rate. After further investigation by Smith's attorney, it was revealed he was paying almost double.
Smith is seeking unspecified financial recovery and punitive damages through a jury trial. He spoke to reporters late last week at his attorney's office in Cullman.
"They came to see me mainly about the repossession," attorney Richard Collins said. "And when I started looking at the contract, I noticed compared to the amount financed, which was a little over $4,800, and the finance charge, which was a little over $2,400, that sounded like way too much interest. My math skills kicked in, and after doing amortization schedules, instead of the 25 percent they agreed on, it was almost 50 percent."
In November, agents repossessed Smith's truck after he was one day late on payment. Smith said he had been promised he could have the extra day to make a payment. The repossession happened a day after he finished his last chemo treatment for a cancer diagnosis, he said.
"When they came and took my truck they told me I wasn't making my payments on time," Smith said. "All of my payments were on time. I lived up to my agreement, and they didn't. They took advantage of me by overcharging my interest and everything else. I could have bought a new vehicle for what I was going to end up giving them overall."
A similar incident prompted the federal indictment earlier last week when Nuss allegedly refused to reduce the loan interest rate to a man who was deployed to Afghanistan with the Alabama National Guard. The guardsman bought the vehicle for $9,746 in February 2011, and after a $2,200 down payment, financed the balance at 25 percent interest per year, according to the indictment. In July of 2012, Nuss received a letter from the guardsman requesting the dealership reduce the interest rate on his car from 25 percent to 6 percent as required by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. According to the indictment, Nuss never reduced the interest rate, and two days after receiving the letter, hired two men to repossess the guardman's vehicle.
Smith has been without a vehicle since last November when his was repossessed, and has had to rely on nearby neighbors and his daughter to take him places. He's scheduled to start his chemo treatments back soon.
"It's been a major burden," he said tearing up. "People get tired of helping me."
When contacted by The Times to give his side of the story, Nuss declined to comment, and referred all questions to his attorney, Tommy Spina, in Birmingham. Spina confirmed he had met with Nuss and that the two are talking.

Hi guy's
I recently purchased the SS and love it.. I do a lot of my set-ups alone etc and it has saved me a huge amount of time and the ease of use is just great. I do however have a prob with getting the ipad app to work. I live in New Zealand and have tried a couple of USB recievers to connect to my ipad and it just won't recognise them. Does anyone know if there is a fairly universal usb reciever I can get my hands on over here or is this something I am going to have to get from elsewhere. Doing set-ups alone I really wanted to have this as one of the functions as it would just make pre mixing so much better for me especially with the 20 sec recording available. I know that I am only one of six here in New Zealand that has one of the SS's that were brought into the country and just hoping maybe one of the others is on here looking through the forums.
Cheers guys.

I think the best solution for you would be to use an USB to Ethernet adapter (Apple) and a WiFi Router (Airport Express).

A sportscaster that I have great respect for has a saying, "We live in a world of images and impressions". after hearing him say this again on a radio broadcast this week, it occurred to me that Jesus said the same thing, but in a different way.
Image: Every year, thousands of people audition for the Fox show, 'American Idol'.
Impressions: When they open their mouth, and hundreds of millions of people witness the judges telling them the harsh truth - that grandma was wrong, they really can't sing!
Here are three things Jesus had to say about the matter:

At NSSC, Nielsen Campus - Eileen Vorbach, WomanLore: Performing Women in History
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) was an American social activist and leading figure of the early woman's movement. Her Declaration of Sentiments, presented at the first women's rights convention held in 1848 in Seneca Falls, NY, is often credited with initiating the first organized woman's rights and woman's suffrage movements in the US. This one-woman performance is a complete theatrical experience. Scripts are adapted directly from the character's own writings. The performance lasts 45-50 minutes, followed by questions to the character, and then to the actor.
Pre-registration is recommended; walk-ins are welcome too. Call or stop by NSSC today!

Since Michaelangelo many artists have taken inspiration from the Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor and architect who created some of the most seminal works in the history of Western art.
And until now few would have thought to etch copies of his masterpieces onto the skins of any kind of fruit.
But American Phil Hansen has used his background in pointillism to re-create some of the Sistine Chapel painter's most instantly recognisable artworks on the skins of bananas.
Likeness: Phil tattoos Michelangelo's Creation of Adam onto a a banana
To the point: Phil Hansen has re-created Ballet dancers by Edgar Degas by painstakingly inserting a pin into the skin of a banana
Phil, from Seattle, Washington spends hours painstakingly making the 'fruit tattoos' by pushing a pin into the banana enough times to make an image.
He has done Michaelangelo's The Creation of Adam and a depiction of his David as well as paintings by other celebrated artists.
These remarkable photographs show the banan-art interpretation of the Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli and Edgar Degas' famous dancers.
But Phil revealed that his favourite 'tattoo' was his reproduction of the Skull with Burning Cigarette by Vincent van Gogh.
Speaking of how he discovered his new fruit-art fusion Phil said: 'I was sitting around one day doing some drawing, and my wife handed me a banana to eat as a snack.
Training: Phil uses his background in pointillism to create his fruity masterpieces
Influential: Michelangelo's David (top) is one of the artist's most celebrated works but Phil's favourite banan-art is Van Gogh's Skull with a Burning Cigarette (bottom)
'They are not my favourite to eat so I decided to draw on the banana with my pencil instead.
'A little later, I realised that the browning in the banana could make a quality image.'
Phil revealed how his background in pointillism – where an artist creates images with small dots of paint – helped him to apply a similar practice to bananas.
The 32-year-old spends up to two hours on each piece and after they are completed he leaves the fruit to rot and go completely black.
Detailed: Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli probably never imagined that his Birth of Venus would appear on a banana
He added: 'I've poked a lot of bananas making anything from simple designs and messages to masterpieces and people's faces.
'I let them sit until they become completely blackened. It's a unique experience to watch something you created being destroyed throughout the week.
'At first, I just ate the bananas but after eating too many, but now I also make banana bread.'

Water is California's most precious natural resource. How we manage it today will affect nearly every aspect of our future.
When our state enjoys a year of abundant rain and our reservoirs are full, it is easy to think that our water supply is endless. But in California, the next drought may be just around the corner. After three consecutive dry years, California is now experiencing a serious drought. We simply cannot afford to waste any water.

Taylor Swift and Zac Efron
February 21, 2012 6:45 PM
Teen dreams Taylor Swift and Zac Efron stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show today to chat with Ellen about the host's favorite topic: their dating lives. Swift revealed that she'd given her friend Efron his first lesson on the guitar, and they dueted together on Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks," eventually changing the lyrics to reflect their fondness for Ellen's invasive questioning. The results are pretty adorable – and Efron holds his own on the six-string, too.

CC senior will perform with Lady Gaga on tonight's VMAs
By Emma Finder
At tonight's VMAs, Vampire Weekend won't be the only act repping the Light Blue. Kate Eberstadt, CC '14, will join pop icon Lady Gaga in her opening performance of her new hit, "Applause" (music video below).
Eberstadt got the gig through her summer residency at the Watermill Center International Program, where she performed as a live body paint model under the direction of the avant-garde Bob Wilson. Wilson has been collaborating with Lady Gaga on her upcoming album, "ARTPOP," and Eberstadt was asked to be part of Gaga's performance tonight. The performance of "Applause" is expected to have a very experimental feel.
The VMAs will be on MTV at 9 p.m. tonight.

Hey there. My name is Leon Hill and I am 'Rock Publicity.'
Marketing, promotion and helping people and businesses get exposure online is my thing — personally, I made my first $1 million in under a year with no experience, at the age of 24.
I'm now 28 and I work as a marketing consultant, celebrity publicist, social media manager, global wanderer and digital creative. I work with companies, entertainers, government agencies and organisations around the world, helping them reach more people and make more money.
Just in 2013, I've spent time in Australia, Singapore, Finland, Iceland, The Netherlands, Malaysia, Brunei and the United States, helping clients in almost every industry achieve more online through low- or no-cost digital marketing. And just in the last twelve months, I've worked with organisations ranging from world-class universities, to the new Jackass: Bad Grandpa film.
And if you believe the picture below, I also like screaming at white spaces…
(I don't really like screaming at things, I just thought it was a cool shot).
I'll be the first to admit I don't have any, at least in a formal sense.
I dropped out of school after the tenth grade, I never went to college or university and I don't have a membership to a professional group or organisation. On paper, I shouldn't be someone who can command thousands of dollars per day for my experience in marketing, promotion, publicity and digital advertising.
But despite this, without any experience and with a starting investment of less than $500, I made my first $1 million in revenue in under a year — all before my 25th birthday.
I've been named by SmartCompany magazine as one of the 'Hot 30 Under 30′ Australian entrepreneurs, world famous internet marketer Yaro Starak called me "…one of the first true social media experts", I've been invited to speak at massive events like Splendour In The Grass, as well as to judge the Australian Webstream Awards.
In short, I'm a consultant. Companies, celebrities, businesses and organisations pay me for my knowledge, expertise and to create marketing campaigns that reach more people, sell more products and generate more revenue.
It's hard to say exactly what I do, because it's different with every client. For some, it could be creating a digital marketing campaign to sell thousands of new products, or subscribe more customers to a new service. With others, I fine tune existing promotion channels, focus marketing efforts, make changes, train staff, or make sure a company's name is spreading like wildfire online.
Sometimes, I'll spend a day or week with a small business or startup, giving advice on their direction, setting up social media, or brainstorming ideas for impressive publicity stunts. Other days, I might spend an hour or two on the phone with someone in a far-flung corner of the globe, conducting 'Marketing Therapy' sessions.
I've organised endorsements and worked with large companies like Contour, BMW, MINI, United States Marine Corps, French Tourism Board, Volkswagen Auto Group's brands, Korean Department of Tourism, Singapore Management University and many more.
What I do with each client varies so much as you can see, but this should give you some idea of a few things I've done over the years:
- Increased online reach of an established brand by 1500% in 90 days.
- Generated $235,000 in revenue in a week, using nothing but 30 pig hearts.
- Spent months creating the largest study of social media of its kind ever conducted.
I do. After the sale of my first company in 2012, I spent a lot of time focusing on the sparkling world of entertainment. In the last year I've worked with artists signed to global music labels like Virgin, EMI and Warner, as well as sporting stars, TV and film personalities, and well-known public figures.
I also manage the digital promotion and publicity of a host of well-known celebrities and acts. I control revenue generation for individuals with personal net wealth of up to $75,000,000.
Some of the stars signed as my permanent clients include MTV's Jackass star and professional Team Element skateboarder Bam Margera…
As well as Australian ARIA-winning and multi-platinum-selling sensations (and not to mention two great friends of mine and fantastic human beings) Lisa and Jessica Origliasso, also known as The Veronicas…
You noticed that huh? I get asked about them a lot, which is why I thought I'd add this into my bio.
I know I don't fit the 'norm' of what a millionaire businessman or marketing consultant should look like — and that's something I truly love. I'm proof you don't have to be a university-graduated, suit-wearing stereotype to succeed in your field. In fact, my image makes me stand out and be memorable — I was once told the reason I was hired is because they remembered me as "…that tattooed millionaire kid." They make me more memorable and honestly, I love that.
In the end, my tattoos mean nothing more to me than a personal passion. On top of that, I don't mind how people assume I'm some kind of rock star when I fly business class, instead of just being a marketing consultant — that's way cooler.
As always, a lot.
I've recently moved to Iceland, after being there for the first time in 2013 for a client's wedding. Apart from running the digital marketing for Iceland's Secret Solstice Music Festival this June, I've also got some huge plans in the works for managing the business developments of some new clients, and a huge life project starting in February!
I'm also working on writing a book. Hopefully, I'll release it sometime in 2014, as long as I get enough down time to focus on it for a while!
That's easy… as long as I have the time to fit you in!
If you're a small business or individual, I can spend as little as a few hours or a day with you, working on whatever you need help with, or what I think would benefit you the most.
For large companies, corporate entities or organisations, everything I do is completely crafted based on the individual job.
In either case, the best option is to read more about the kinds of things Rock Publicity does most often. After that, you should get in contact with myself or my assistant via any of the contact details at this page.
Easy. Click here to get in contact — just remember to be nice.
I look forward to chatting with you.
Leon Hill.
Founder & Director — Rock Publicity.
