A strategy for a Secure Information Society – "Dialogue, partnership and empowerment"
The Communication "i2010 – A European Information Society for growth and employment"[1], highlighted the importance of network and information security for the creation of a single European information space. The availability, reliability and security of networks and information systems are increasingly central to our economies and to the fabric of society.
The purpose of the present Communication is to revitalise the European Commission strategy set out in 2001 in the Communication "Network and Information Security: proposal for a European Policy approach"[2]. It reviews the current state of threats to the security of the Information Society and determines what additional steps should be taken to improve network and information security (NIS).
Drawing on the experience acquired by Member States and at European Community level, the ambition is to further develop a dynamic, global strategy in Europe, based on a culture of security and founded on dialogue, partnership and empowerment .
In tackling security challenges for the Information Society, the European Community has developed a three-pronged approach embracing: specific network and information security measures, the regulatory framework for electronic communications (which includes privacy and data protection issues), and the fight against cybercrime. Although these three aspects can, to a certain extent, be developed separately, the numerous interdependencies call for a coordinated strategy. This Communication sets out the strategy and provides the framework to carry forward and refine a coherent approach to NIS.
The 2001 Communication defines NIS as " the ability of a network or an information system to resist, at a given level of confidence, accidental events or malicious actions that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of stored or transmitted data and the related services offered by or accessible via these networks and systems ". Over recent years, the European Community has implemented a number of actions to improve NIS.
The regulatory framework for electronic communications, the review of which is underway, includes security-related provisions. In particular, the Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications[3] contains an obligation for providers of publicly available electronic communications services to safeguard the security of their services. Provisions against spam[4] and spyware[5] are laid down.
Trust and security also play an important part in the European Community programmes devoted to research and development. The 6th Research Framework Programme addresses these issues through a wide range of projects. Security-related research is to be reinforced in the 7th Framework Programme with the establishment of a European Security Research Programme (ESRP)[6]. Furthermore, the Safer Internet Plus programme supports networking projects and the exchange of best practices to combat harmful content circulating on information networks.
As a part of its response to security threats, the European Community decided in 2004 to create the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA). ENISA contributes to the development of a culture of network and information security for the benefit of citizens, consumers, enterprises and public sector organisations throughout the European Union (EU).
The EU also plays an active role in the international fora addressing these topics, such as the OECD, the Council of Europe or the UN. At the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis, the EU strongly supported the discussions on the availability, reliability and security of networks and information. The Tunis Agenda[7], which together with the Tunis Commitment sets out further steps for the policy debate on the global Information Society as endorsed by the world's leaders, highlights the need to continue the fight against cybercrime and spam while ensuring the protection of privacy and freedom of expression. It identifies the need for a common understanding of the issues of Internet security and for further cooperation to facilitate the collection and dissemination of security-related information and the exchange of good practice among all stakeholders on measures to combat security threats.
Despite the efforts at international, European and national level, security continues to pose challenging problems.
Firstly, attacks on information systems are increasingly motivated by profit rather than by the desire to create disruption for its own sake. Data are illegally mined, increasingly without the user's knowledge, while the number of variants (and the rate of evolution) of malware[8] is increasing rapidly. Spam is a good example of this evolution: it is becoming a vehicle for viruses and fraudulent and criminal activities, such as spyware, phishing[9] and other forms of malware. Its widespread distribution increasingly relies on botnets[10], i.e. compromised servers and PCs used as relays without the knowledge of their owners.
The increasing deployment of mobile devices (including 3G mobile phones, portable videogames, etc.) and mobile-based network services will pose new challenges, as IP-based services develop rapidly. These could eventually prove to be a more common route for attacks than personal computers since the latter already deploy a significant level of security. Indeed, all new forms of communication platforms and information systems inevitably provide new windows of opportunity for malicious attacks.
Another significant development is the advent of "ambient intelligence", in which intelligent devices supported by computing and networking technology will become ubiquitous (e.g. through RFID[11], IPv6 and sensor networks). A totally interconnected and networked everyday life promises significant opportunities. However, it will also create additional security and privacy-related risks. While common platforms and applications contribute positively to interoperability and the take-up of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), they can also increase risks. For example, the greater the use of "off-the-shelf" software, the greater the impact when vulnerabilities are exploited or failures occur. The emergence of certain "monocultures" in software platforms and applications can greatly facilitate the growth and spread of security threats such as malware and viruses. Diversity, openness and interoperability are integral components of security and should be promoted .
The relevance of the ICT sector for the European economy and for European society as a whole is incontestable. ICT is a critical component of innovation and is responsible for nearly 40% of productivity growth. In addition, this highly innovative sector is responsible for more than a quarter of the total European R&D effort and plays a key role in the creation of economic growth and jobs throughout the economy. More and more Europeans live in a truly information-based society where the use of ICTs has rapidly accelerated as a core function of human social and economic interaction. According to Eurostat, 89% of EU enterprises actively used the Internet in 2004 and around 50% of consumers had recently used the Internet[12].
A breach in NIS can generate an impact that transcends the economic dimension. Indeed, there is a general concern that security problems may lead to user discouragement and lower take-up of ICT, whereas availability, reliability and security are a prerequisite for guaranteeing fundamental rights on-line.
In addition, because of increased connectivity between networks, other critical infrastructures (like transport, energy, etc.) are also becoming more and more dependent on the integrity of their respective information systems.
Both business and citizens in Europe still underestimate the risks. This is for various reasons, but the most important seems to be, in the case of enterprises, the poor visibility of the return on investment in security and, in the case of citizens, the fact that they are not aware of their responsibility in the global security chain.
Indeed, given the ubiquity of ICTs and information systems, network and information security is a challenge for everybody:
- Public administrations need to address the security of their systems, not just to protect public sector information, but also to serve as an example of best practice for other players.
- Enterprises need to address NIS more as an asset and an element of competitive advantage than as a "negative cost".
- Individual users need to understand that their home systems are critical for the overall "security chain".
In order to successfully tackle the problems described above, all stakeholders need reliable data on information security incidents and trends. However, reliable and comprehensive data on such incidents are difficult to obtain for many reasons, ranging from the rapidity with which security events can happen to the unwillingness of some organisations to disclose and publicise security breaches. Nonetheless, one of the cornerstones in developing a culture of security is improving our knowledge of the problem .
It is important that awareness programmes, designed to highlight security threats, do not undermine the trust and confidence of consumers and users by focusing only on negative aspects of security. Wherever possible, therefore, NIS should be presented as a virtue and an opportunity rather than as a liability and a cost. It needs to be viewed as an asset in building trust and consumer confidence, a competitive advantage for enterprises operating information systems, and a service quality issue for both public and private sector service providers.
The key challenge for policy makers is to achieve a holistic approach. This approach must recognise the respective roles of the various stakeholders. It must ensure proper coordination of the range of public policy and regulatory provisions that impact either directly or indirectly on NIS. The processes of liberalisation, deregulation and convergence have produced a multiplicity of players among the various stakeholder groups, which does not make this task easier. The contribution of ENISA to this goal can be important. ENISA could serve as a centre for information sharing, cooperation amongst all stakeholders, and the exchange of commendable practices, both within Europe and with the rest of the world, in order to contribute to the competitiveness of our ICT industries and a well-functioning Internal Market.
A secure Information Society must be based on enhanced NIS and a widespread culture of security . To this end, the European Commission proposes a dynamic and integrated approach that involves all stakeholders and is based on dialogue, partnership and empowerment . Given the complementary roles of public and private sectors in creating a culture of security, policy initiatives in this field must be based on an open and inclusive multi-stakeholder dialogue .
This approach, and its associated actions, will complement and enrich the Commission's plan to continue the development of a comprehensive and dynamic policy framework through a number of initiatives in 2006:
1. Addressing the evolution of spam and threats, like spyware and other forms of malware, in a Communication on these specific issues.
2. Making proposals for improving cooperation between law enforcement authorities and addressing new forms of criminal activity that exploit the Internet and undermine the operation of critical infrastructures. This will be the subject of a specific Communication on cybercrime.
These policy initiatives also complement the activity being planned to achieve the goals of the Commission's Green Paper on the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP)[13], developed in response to a request by the December 2004 Council. The Green Paper process is likely to lead to an action plan combining an overall "umbrella" approach to critical infrastructure protection with the necessary sector-specific policies, including one for the ICT sector. The sector-specific policy for the ICT sector would examine, via a multi-stakeholder dialogue , the relevant economic, business and societal drivers with a view to enhancing the security and the resilience of networks and information systems.
Moreover, the 2006 review of the regulatory framework for electronic communications will also consider elements to improve NIS, such as technical and organisational measures to be taken by service providers, provisions dealing with the notification of security breaches, and specific remedies and penalties regarding breaches of obligations.
It is largely up to the private sector to deliver solutions, services and security products to end users. It is therefore of strategic importance that European industry be both a demanding user of security products and services as well as a competitive supplier of NIS products and services.
National governments need to be able to identify and implement best practice in policy-making, as well as demonstrate commitment to these policy objectives by managing their own information systems in a secure manner. Public authorities, in Member States and at EU level, have a key role to play in properly informing users to enable them to contribute to their own security and safety. Raising awareness on NIS issues and providing appropriate and timely information via dedicated e-security web portals on threats, risks and alerts as well as on best practices should be priorities. To this end, examining the feasibility of creating a European multilingual information sharing and alert system , which would build upon and link together existing or planned national public and private initiatives, could be a major goal for ENISA.
The global dimension of network and information security challenges the Commission, both at international level and in coordination with Member States, to increase its efforts to promote global cooperation on NIS , notably in implementing the agenda adopted at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in November 2005.
Lastly, research and development, notably at EU level, will help develop new and innovative partnerships to boost the growth of the European ICT industry at large, and the European ICT security industry in particular. The Commission will therefore seek to ensure that appropriate financial resources are allocated to research on NIS and dependability technologies under the 7th EU Framework Programmes.
3.1. Dialogue
3.1.1. As a first step to enhancing dialogue between public authorities, the Commission proposes initiating an exercise to benchmark national NIS-related policies , including specific security policies for the public sector. This exercise will help identify the most effective practices, so that they can then be deployed wherever possible on a broader basis throughout the EU and help make public administrations a driver of best practice in security. The work on electronic identification, for example as part of the recent eGovernment Action Plan, could play an important role in that respect.
If appropriately structured, the results of such a benchmarking exercise will identify best practices to improve awareness among SMEs and citizens of the need to address their own specific NIS challenges and requirements as well as their ability to do so. ENISA should be called upon to play an active role in this dialogue, and in consolidating and exchanging best practices.
3.1.2. A structured multi-stakeholder debate on how best to exploit existing tools and regulatory instruments to attain an appropriate societal balance between security and the protection of fundamental rights, including privacy, is needed. The planned Conference "i2010 – Towards a Ubiquitous European Information Society" being organised by the forthcoming Finnish Presidency, and the consultation on the security and privacy implications of RFID, which is part of the broader consultation recently launched by the Commission, will contribute to this debate. In addition, the Commission will organise:
- A business event to stimulate industry commitment to adopting effective approaches to implement a culture of security in industry .
- A seminar reflecting on ways to raise security awareness and strengthen the trust of end-users in the use of electronic networks and information systems.
3.2. Partnership
3.2.1. Effective policy making needs a clear understanding of the nature and extent of the challenges. This calls for not only reliable and up-to-date statistical and economic data both on information security incidents and levels of consumer and user confidence, but also up-to-date data on the size and trends of the ICT security industry in Europe. The Commission intends to ask ENISA to develop a trusted partnership with Member States and stakeholders to develop an appropriate data collection framework , including the procedures and mechanisms to collect and analyse EU-wide data on security incidents and consumer confidence.
In parallel, because of the highly fragmented market in the EU and its rather specific nature, the Commission will invite Member States, the private sector and the research community to establish a strategic partnership to ensure the availability of data on the ICT security industry and on the evolving market trends for products and services in the EU.
3.2.2. In order to improve the European capability to respond to network security threats, the Commission will ask ENISA to examine the feasibility of a European information sharing and alert system to facilitate effective responses to existing and emerging threats to electronic networks. A requirement of such a system will be a multilingual EU portal to provide tailored information on threats, risks and alerts.
3.3. Empowerment
The empowerment of each stakeholder group is a prerequisite to foster awareness of security needs and risks in order to promote NIS.
3.3.1. In this respect the Commission invites Member States to:
- proactively participate in the proposed benchmarking exercise of national NIS policies;
- promote, in close cooperation with ENISA, awareness campaigns on the virtues, benefits and rewards of adopting effective security technologies, practices and behaviour;
- leverage the roll-out of e-government services to communicate and promote good security practices that could then be extended to other sectors;
- stimulate the development of network and information security programmes as part of higher education curricula.
3.3.2. The Commission also invites private sector stakeholders to take initiatives to:
- develop an appropriate definition of responsibilities for software producers and Internet service providers in relation to the provision of adequate and auditable levels of security. Here, support for standardised processes that would meet commonly agreed security standards and best practice rules is needed;
- promote diversity, openness, interoperability, usability and competition as key drivers for security as well as stimulate the deployment of security-enhancing products, processes and services to prevent and fight ID theft and other privacy-intrusive attacks;
- disseminate good security practices for network operators, service providers and SMEs as baseline levels for security and business continuity;
- promote training programmes in the business sector, in particular for SMEs, to provide employees with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively implement security practices;
- work towards affordable security certification schemes for products, processes and services that will address EU-specific needs (in particular with respect to privacy);
- involve the insurance sector in developing appropriate risk management tools and methods to tackle ICT-related risks and foster a culture of risk management in organisations and business (in particular in SMEs).
Identifying and meeting security challenges in relation to information systems and networks in the EU requires the full commitment of all stakeholders. The policy approach outlined in this Communication seeks to achieve this by reinforcing a multi-stakeholder approach . This would build on mutual interests, identify respective roles and develop a dynamic framework to promote effective public policy-making and private sector initiatives.
The Commission will report to Council and Parliament in the middle of 2007 on the activities launched, the initial findings and the state of play of individual initiatives, including those of ENISA and those taken at Member State level and in the private sector. If appropriate, the Commission will propose a Recommendation on network and information security (NIS).

Beno¯t Mernier: La Dispute (world premiere)Sung in French with French and Dutch surtitles
The inconsistencies of love, do they stem from man or woman? This is the question underlying MarivauxÆs La Dispute, one of his most disconcerting and incisive plays, which constitutes the core of the libretto of Beno¯t MernierÆs second opera. To finally resolve this burning philosophical issue, a diabolical experiment brings together four youngsters raised in isolation from the world and, before our eyes, discover love and their first betrayals. For this work, the Belgian composer collaborated closely with the librettists Ursel Herrmann and JoÙl Lauwers. This gives him the opportunity to again grapple with the awakening of desire following on from his Fr³hlings Erwachen in 2007. Conducted by Patrick Davin, this Dispute is directed by the Herrmanns, taking on a contemporary work for the first time.


text: I have found love! A love I only can feel, Love borne out of me and only for me. My love is ever so near, She shines ever so dear. everywhere she sits showering her tiny bits. Her goodness is felt as every chaos is met long time rigours she melts and earth she gently pets. In beauty my love is radiant, in giving she is without equal, distinct are her colours and just are her ways. Never wavering in faithfulness when called she does approach to cast off the wayning sword of her lover's foe... My defender,my provider and my life, for your course I have lived and for your course I shall give you are me and I you! I love you,I have loved you,and forever will Nature is all that i am,all i will be, Nature's love is me!

Reviews for Cran-Raspberry Pie(3)
Sort By :
Made this pie for Thanksgiving this year and it was a big hit!! I increased the sugar to 1 1/2 cups and it was still a little tangy for me. I might try making it as a crisp, with a sweeter crust next time
My family loves odd meals and this one is definitely odd....good though.
If you like a tart fruit pie, you probably will enjoy this one, too. I made it into a "crisp" instead, to save time. The cranberries of course make it tart, but did not overpower the raspberries' flavor. I love raspberries, so I thought it was a delicious combination. Looks pretty, too. I recommend 1-1/2 c. sugar (for pleasantly tart), and I also added 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Hubby thought it was good, a little tart, but said the sweet and crunchy crumb topping of the crisp was a nice combination with the tartness of the fruit filling. I thought it was quite good and next time I will make as a pie.

5 Outrageous and Unexpected Moments of Sexual Innuendo on TV
THERE HAS BEEN plenty of blatant sex on the television in decades past. Shows such as Benny Hill and Three's Company weren't afraid to show the playful side, while soap operas and gritty crime dramas took a more serious bent. But naughtiness belonged in those places; it didn't need to be masked. In this article I'm talking about when they unexpectedly lay it between the lines in the most outrageous manner possible. The kind that leaves you asking, "Wait – what just happened?"

15 Curious and Intriguing Beatles Covers
THE FAB FOUR had barely left Ed Sullivan's stage before their songs were being covered like mad across the entire planet. You'd be hard pressed to find a single artist from the mid-sixties to mid-seventies who didn't have at least one cover in their repertoire. Then royalty rates went up, and it naturally became harder to include a Lennon/McCartney track on an album…. and finally, in July 1978, The Bee Gees famously ruined the idea altogether.
Herein are fifteen from the Golden Age of Beatles Covers – when everyone from Deep Purple to Peter Sellers had a Beatles song to make their own. Enjoy.

A Field Guide to 1970s Men's Sweaters
WITH so many "important things" going on the world, why spend time looking at forty year old sweaters? Simply put, the brain needs a break from the barrage of jarring images of a world on the brink. A tour of 70s men's sweaters is exactly what the doctor ordered.
So, sit back, relax and enjoy a cornucopia of magnificent vintage sweaters. And you're welcome.
Left: I'm not a fashion connoisseur, but I do have a general rule of thumb: Avoid sweater vests with built in belts.
Center: Add a cape and it's almost superhero-like. Don't for a minute think that superheroes are somehow above sweaters when they have no problem prancing around in Spandex unitards.

Gimme Shelter From Hell's Angels: Meredith Hunter, Alan Passaro And The Rolling Stones Horror Show
MEREDITH Hunter. He was the 18-year-old stabbed to death by a Hell's Angel at the Rolling Stones' Altamont Free Concert on December 6 1969.
The show took place just four months after Woodstock. This time peace and love did not win out. But it might have done.
Michael Azerrad sets the pre-show scene:
…a scene at a helipad on a pier on San Francisco Bay. The Grateful Dead are there, cavorting in zonked-out hippie fashion, waiting for an overdue helicopter. Jagger comes sweeping in, surveys the unruly scene. and says with amused disbelief to no one in particular, "What is going on?" He gets the lay of the land from a chuckling and ultra-mellow Jerry Garcia, attired in an outtasite lavender wool poncho, and chats warmly with Ian Stewart. The vibe is sweet and playful.
The chopper won't arrive until 2:00. "Right, film people, let's do something!" Jagger proclaims. "We've got ten minutes." He pulls some hippie chick aside and imperiously directs the cameraman (probably Albert Maysles) to go "Tighter tighter tighter tighter tighter tighter" on her face, adorned with a groovy beaded headband and massive square shades. He plants a kiss on her forehead and steps away. Then he orders Charlie, poor, long-suffering Charlie, "Do the same thing as I did. Kiss the young lady, please."
Watts demurs. "Love is much more of a deeper thing than that," he replies, with mock hauteur, although he clearly kind of means it too. "It's not flippant, to be thrown away on celluloid. No."
Jagger laughs at his disobedient drummer. "OK," he says sheepishly, straight to camera, "we cut."And then they headed off to Altamont.

Fear of A Fat Planet: Billy Bunter Is Now An Enemy Of The State
FAT is bad. The top-down message is consistent. The Mail leads with news that Obesity is "worse than we first feared".
Whose afraid of a fat planet? As the BBC reported this year: "Obesity quadruples to nearly one billion in developing world." In the report "Implications for agriculture and food prices", Sharada Keats and Steve Wiggins, note:
Over one third of all adults across the world – 1.46 billion people – are obese or overweight.
Overweight is bad? Don't moderately chubby people look better and outlive the skinny? If we are all getting dangerously fatter, why are we living longer?

As Hitler's Boxer Said To The Actress: Silent Anny Ondra Was Hitchcock's Star Of Britain's First 'Talkie'
IN1929 almost everyone in the British film industry was convinced that the newfangled talking films would be nothing but a flash in the pan. But as the director Michael Powell once said of that time, "some flash, some pan". Hitchcock knew before most that the era of silent films was over – "nobody wants 'em," he said to the aforementioned Powell, "they're a dead duck". So Hitchcock borrowed some German equipment and halfway through directing Blackmail he started to make a sound version of the same film and this, subsequently, became Britain's first 'talkie'.

ROBERTA Ashley's 1967 Singers and Swingers in the Kitchen is the "scene-makers cookbook". The cook book features "The Scene Makers Cookbook Dozens of Nutty Turned On Easy-To-Prepare Recipes From The Grooviest Gourmets Happening". Ready for "hip, mod, delicious recipes".
Theses cats were the original celebrity master chefs. With recipes from The Rolling Stones, Leonard Nimoy, The Byrds, Leonard Nimoy, Omar Sharif (Southern Fried Chicken), Barbra Streisand, Peter Tork, Liza Minelli, Simon & Garfunkel, the Mamas & Papas, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Paul Anka, Party Spaghetti and The Buckinghams (if you have to ask, you just weren't there).
As Roberta noted: "Give it a try, the recipes are mostly easy ones and remember a year ago, Barbra Streisand couldn't cook at all".
Not all stars are into Extreme Dieting, like The Who's Keith Moon was.

Free Tony Miano: If You Love Free Speech Let The Anti-Gay Christian Preacher Talk
OUR increasingly intolerant society, which seeks to be offended by anything and then whine about it until the offender is shamed into conformity, has seen to it that a preacher has been arrested in Dundee.
American street evangelist Tony Miano had been talking about sexual sin. Mr Miano – a former policeman in Los Angeles – was in fully cry, telling passers by about which sins Jesus could save them from - adultery, promiscuity, homosexuality – when a woman took offence. She said that as the mother of a gay man she was offended.

Paul Simon's 1992 South Africa Tour Was In Another World To His 1985 Graceland Mission
ON January 11 1992, Paul Simon kicked off his South Africa tour. He'd visited the country before, back in 1985 in defiance of the UN-sponsored cultural boycott against apartheid. On 2 December 1968, The UN General Assembly requested all States and organisations "to suspend cultural, educational, sporting and other exchanges with the racist regime and with organisations or institutions in South Africa which practice apartheid". Sportsmen and music acts were encouraged not to play in South Africa.
The ANC and Artists Against Apartheid were outraged. Why hadn't Simon consulted them before arriving?
Said Simon: "You went to South Africa but you didn't ask us. You need to ask the ANC. So that's the kind of government you're going to be? Check our lyrics? F*** the artists like all kinds of governments have done in the past?"
Simon's foresight introduced much of the world to the music of black South Africa. That first trip led to his groundbreaking Graceland album, featuring South African musicians Hugh Masekela, Simon and Miriam Makeba and the Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Joe Berlinger followed Simon on his trip. In his documentary Under African Skies, we hear Dali Tambo, founder of Artists Against Apartheid and son of the late African National Congress (ANC) president Oliver Tambo. He says: "At that moment in time, it was not helpful. We were fighting for our land, for our identity. We had a job to do, and it was a serious job. And we saw Paul Simon coming as a threat because it was not sanctioned by the liberation movement."
Simon found it absurd that artists should be viewed in the light and shadows cast by politicians. Art, said Simon, would endure.
In 1987, Simon performed his Under African Skies Concert in Harare:
When Simon returned in 1992, that boycott has been lifted. This time the ANC backed him.
Of the show in Johannesburg's Ellis Park Stadium, The New York Times noted, "Most black South Africans could not afford to pay up to $30 for a ticket, or, lacking cars, to travel to Johannesburg from the outlying black townships."
Entertainment Weekly surveyed the scene:
While Simon opened his two-week South Africa tour with such gentle songs as "The Obvious Child," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," and "The Sounds of Silence," armored police vehicles, bomb-sniffing canines, and even a surveillance helicopter patrolled the stadium. Outside, clusters of angry black protesters, representing leftist fringe groups that ferociously oppose the lifting of international sanctions against South Africa, were handing out leaflets, waving anti-Simon signs, and threatening to disrupt his concert with violence.
Not everyone could make it. One month earlier, Ladysmith Black Mambazo co-founder Headman Tshabalala had been shot dead by a white security guard. The guard had been arrested. He'd been released on $300 bail.
The day he arrived, two hand grenades exploded outside the offices of a Johannesburg company that helped arrange the tour. Complaints were also aimed at Whoopi Goldberg and the production of Sarafina!, which she is filming in South Africa.
The Baltimore Sun reviewed the show:
A small group of black activists, as many as 100 at one point, marched outside the entrance of Ellis Park Stadium in east Johannesburg with signs that said the singer had come at the wrong time with his "Born at the Right Time" tour.
The hand-lettered placards read: "Simon Go Home," "Yankee Go Home," "Don't Delay Our Freedom," and "Liberation First, Entertainment After."
Members of a radical black group known as the Azanian Youth Organization had threatened to disrupt the concert with violence, saying that the American pop star was wrong to come to South Africa before the country's political problems were solved.
"Artists should come after we have a democratic government," said Kgomotse Modiselle, a 20-year-old high school student who described himself as a spokesman for the left-wing youth group. "Right now is not the right time for sanctions to be lifted."
He said that only whites were attending the concert because blacks were opposed to Mr. Simon's presence in South Africa. "The stadium is filled with white people," he proclaimed.
Violence was never far away.
About a half-dozen tanks painted in camouflage colors sat near the front of the stadium.

10 Intensely Disturbing Public Service Announcements
THERE ARE two tactics you can operate from to inspire healthy cautiousness in children: (A) making the topic interesting and intellectually compelling, or (B) scaring the living hell out of them. More often than not, PSAs in the 1960s–80s opted for the latter. We're all familiar with the nihilistic, carnage-filled films used for drivers education. However, getting "the message" to kids often took a less direct (yet more disturbing) route…
10. Boo-Boo is Propositioned
IF the idea of Yogi's little friend Boo-Boo getting stalked by a peadophile gives you the willies, you may want to brace yourself: there's nine more PSA's to go.
It's a bit disarming when a normally light hearted medium abruptly ditches the funny capers in favor of deep, dark and depressing public service messages. I understand the good intentions behind it, so I don't want to be too hard on them. However, there's just something creepy about horrific real-life entering children's comics.

Hilarious: Idiotic Pastor Daniel Castle Explains The Evils Of MTV's Wonder Showzen
PASTOR Daniel Castle is no fan of MTV's Wonder Showzen, the Sesame Street parody. Pastor Castle thinks John Lee and Vernon Chatman's show is real. And – yep – Pastor Daniel is real. He should be work of parody. But he isn't.
He might be Danny Castle, pastor of Shining Light Baptist Church, Morganton, North Carolina.
YouTuber savedbyjesusblood notes:
Clips of MTV's evil TV show "Wonder Showzen" explained by Pastor Daniel Castle. This is one of the most evil shows and spiritual exploitation of children I have ever seen.

Checking The Daily Mail: Richard Littlejohn, The Mark Duggan Peacemaker? Bollocks
Checking The Mail: Richard Littlejohn, the peacemaker? Bollocks
IMAGINE you're Richard Littlejohn. Once you've stopped vomiting, imagine how you'd feel when you heard that the inquest into the death of Mark Duggan had given its verdict. You'd not be sad for loss of life or thinking about the circumstances that lead a family to be as dysfunctional and staunched in criminality and gangsterism as the Duggans. You wouldn't think: what can police do in those situations other than take a fatal shot. You wouldn't think for a moment about the societal issues that led to the riots following Duggan's death. You'd wring your hands, crack your knuckles and jump onto your soap box.

45 Sinfully Underplayed Songs of the 60s and 70s
AT a time when even the most obscure vintage track is just a few clicks away, it's very hard to create a list of "underplayed" songs. Many recordings swept under the rug have now returned to the light via music blogs, YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, etc.
The list before you is to help insert some new blood into your playlists. I'm always appreciative of a recommendation, so I figured some of you would be as well.
Note: There's a tendency in many music lists to impress the rock snobs. Nothing is ever too unknown or clever for them. I've tried to avoid the temptation to plumb the depths of obscurity just to show off. We'll keep things off the beaten path, but no so deep as to unleash the Balrog.
- 1941 – Harry Nilsson
Autobiographical ditty which got him noticed by the Beatles. Legendary debauchery by Harry and Mr. Ono soon followed. - 2000 Light Years from Home – Rolling Stones - The Stones shoot for Strawberry Fields and actually nail it. They'd be moving on to bluesier stuff in a hurry.
- A Minah Menina – Os Mutantes
Brazilian psychedelia unbelievably used in a 2008 McDonald's commercial. It deserved the attention. - Any Major Dude – Steely Dan
Why this wasn't a top ten hit will forever be one of history's greatest mysteries. - Ballad of Danny Bailey – Elton John
With so many hits being churned out by Elton, I suppose this one got trampled and lost underfoot. - Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft – The Carpenters
Much more palatable than the original Klaatu version. Yes, it's cheesy and insane – but that's not always a bad thing. - Chevy Van – Sammy Johns
Like "Afternoon Delight", the innocent veneer masks an extremely dirty song (about having sex with a hitchhiker) - Circle Round the Sun – B.J. Thomas
Beautiful, damn near transcendent song that apparently was too good for radio. - Cthlu Thlu – Caravan
Guitar noodling goes on a bit long in the second half, but HP Lovecraft still would be proud. - Daily Nightly – The Monkees
Moog infused psychedelia that, of course, gets no respect because it's from the Monkees. - Disadvantages of You – The Brass Ring
Elevator music at its finest. - Fundamentally Yours – Stackridge
Sounds more like Badfinger than Badfinger, but you cannot deny it's a flat-perfect pop melody. - Ghetto Child – The Spinners
May sound silly to those raised on hip-hop, but this is where talent, soul, melody and message come together. - Hard Times – Kiss
The circus often overshadowed their talent for simple quality rock. One wonders how their music would be viewed had they had just dressed like Foghat. - Hello Little Lover – Mahogany Rush
These Canadians can rock hard. Great music to exceed speed limits to. - Home Is Where the Hatred Is – Esther Williams
Esther lays it all out on the table. You'll be exhausted by the time she's through with you. - Houdini Said – Gilbert O'Sullivan
Well crafted, creative, melodic… the adjectives keep on coming, yet I can't put it into a coherent description. - I See the Rain – Marmalade
Hendrix loved the guitars – you'll get no better endorsement than that. - I'm Mandy, Fly Me – 10cc
The band was always wandering off the beaten path; here they take an obvious pop nugget and make it interesting. - In the First Place – Remo Four
From the Wonderwall film; a brilliant instrumental with George Harrison as its creator. - I've Got to Be Going – Peppermint Trolley Co.
The group is more known for the original Brady Bunch theme than anything else, which is a crying shame because they could craft some great bubblegum pop. - Ladies and Gentlemen – Clouds
In a perfect world, complex tunes like this go platinum. Instead, it was lost without a trace, and can't even be found on Spotify. - Land of the Few – Love Sculpture
If ever there was a song begging to added to a playlist, this is it. Do it for Dave Edmunds. - Leave It – Mike McGear and Paul McCartney
Silly and nonsensical, but McCartney's ability to come up with a brilliant melody on a dime is unnerving. - Life Has Just Begun – Spirit
The whole Sardonicus LP is woefully under-appreciated. The songs were just a bit too odd to become a part of classic rock mainstream. - Lord Grenville – Al Stewart
Transcendental tune about a 17th century naval captain which circles upwards like cannabis vapors to the Heavens. "Our time is just a point along a line that runs forever with no end." Heavy, man. - Love Alive – Heart
The ladies did their best to be Led Zeppelin in the early days. Here's where they came the closest. - Man of 1000 Faces – Gene Simmons
When all four members of Kiss simultaneously released solo albums, we sensed they'd be jumping the shark soon. This one is just too interesting to ignore. - Mary Skeffington – Gerry Rafferty
It's about Gerry's own mother who once was full of promise, now dodges her drunk husband's punches. It's simultaneously depressing and beautiful. - Mother Freedom – Bread
Not as pillowy soft as we're accustomed with this band, but still has that signature triumphant hook. - My White Bicycle – Tomorrow
Best bicycle song there is: beats both Queen and Floyd. - Nice, Nice, Very Nice – Ambrosia
One of the few prog rock bands that recognized the importance of melody. Even Vonnegut couldn't help but sing its praises; it's not easy to adapt Bokononism for the radio. - Open Sesame (Groove with the Genie) – Kool & the Gang
Back when funk bands had 20 members and a horn section; this is the very definition of back porch, booger nosed funk. Can ya dig? - Psychic Vampire – Space Opera
More complicated than a song has a right to be; yet still pleasing to the ear. I could listen to this on a loop for the rest of my life. - Red Telephone – Love
Easily one of the greatest albums of all time, Forever Changes was widely unknown until it started popping up on "best of" lists. I'll add my voice to the chorus. - Rose for Emily, A – The Zombies
It wants to be Eleanor Rigby, and comes damned close. Titled based on a Faulkner novel about necrophilia. - Satellite of Love – Lou Reed
I've heard this song 900 times over thirty years and I still don't know why I like it. It's a rock snob favorite, so I want to hate it, but can't. - Searchin' So Long – Chicago
One of the great codas in rock history. Coda hall of fame: "Hey Jude", "Atlantis" by Donovan, "Aquarius" by the Fifth Dimension, and "Head Over Heels" by Tears for Fears "… and this is my foooour leaf clover." - Seven Island Suite – Gordon Lightfoot
Epic dirge to escape the rat race. Rarely are songs this exultant. - She Was Naked – Supersister
Speaking of codas: this one starts off worrisome, then ends with a roundhouse kick to the solar plexus. - Some Gospel According to Matthew – Roberta Flack
Before American Idol infected the world with melisma, and before autotune turned the singers of a generation into synthetic ventriloquist dummies – there was Roberta. - Song of the Viking – Todd Rundgren
Playful on the surface, but bizarrely beautiful. Obviously written by a mad genius. - Summer of '71 – Helen Reddy
Hearing Helen sing about getting high on mescaline is reward enough. The fact that it's a great song is the cherry on top. - Theme One – The George Martin Orchestra
The Van Der Graf Generator did a respectable cover, but nothing tops the original sonic grandeur composed for Radio One. - Vacuum Cleaner – Tintern Abbey
If you're not pleasantly surprised by this oft overlooked psychedelic gem, you're just being stubborn
Over to you…

Mic Wright's Remotely Furious: Praising Big Brother, Advocating Nuking Nick Robinson
Mic Wright's Remotely Furious: Praising Big Brother, advocating nuking Nick Robinson
AS a smug, entitled, metropolitan dicksplash with a $50 vocabulary and a tendency to watch things with subtitles now and then I'm meant to dismiss Channel 5's rebooted Big Brother franchise. Richard Desmond is a porn peddler turned newspaper baron turned TV channel king so we're meant to squish our faces into cartoon disgust as if a man selling jizz mags is worse than arms dealers, Saudi princes who keep their people in a state of oppressed ignorance or Russians whose money was scrabbled up in the twilight of the Soviet era by standing on the heads of others and doing a fair bit of backstabbing both literal and figurative. Richard Desmond doesn't seem like a particularly nice bloke but most newspaper proprietors are like crap James Bond villains so it doesn't make him stand out really. I like that he's invested money in bringing Big Brother back to its best because Desmond and his demonic underlings understand the key point of Big Brother: make it funny, make it entertaining, make it ridiculous. Channel 4's problem was that it kept trying to hang on to the notion of Big Brother as social experiment rather than freak show with freaks who bloody love all that attention.

Trading Cards Of The 1970s: The Bay City Rollers Versus The Village People
THE Topps Company didn't just make baseball cards with a stick of chewing gum in each packet. They made cards for non-sporting endeavours. Collect them. Trade them. The Garbage Pail kids cards sold well. So too Pokemon. But what about these?
In 2013 Topps created Lollapalooza Trading Cards.
But before that, they made these.
The Bay City Rollers
The girls will go wild for the Scots rockers. Back in the 1970s, it was Rollermania as Eric Faulkner and Stuart Wood, Les McKeown, Alan Longmuir and drummer Derek Longmuir emerged from Edinburgh to make tartan cool.

Become An Instant Millionaire For Only $100!
YES indeedy, as a signal that this altcoin market (Bitcoin, Litecoin and the like) you can become an instant millionaire in your own currency for the once only low low price of $100!
This is in fact true as well: although it's not about to make anyone rich I would have thought. It's just the sort of thing that happens when people get swept up in a financial bubble. This is tulips all over again, the South Sea Bubble, dotcom mania. It might even be that something useful comes out of it all at the end but there's definitely going to be tears before bedtime.

Armed Struggle: Duggan Police Should Be Accountable
Mark Duggan: Well Played Mr Justice Keith Cutler, The Met's Fearsome Burqa Bandit's Are Above The Laws They Uphold
MARK Duggan was no angel. The 29-year-old father-of-six's most ardent friends and family would probably agree.
He died when shot by a still anonymous (to the British Public) police officer.
Was the man who police immediately after the shooting branded as a gun-wielding gangsta who opened fire on them, a victim of the UK's collective loss of innocence?
The country which has a complete arms ban on hand guns has since the ban's introduction seen a massive growth in the number of armed alleged criminals and a matching increase in the very much more superior arming of huge numbers of police officers.
As a child he lived in the Broadwater Farm Estate which was a breeding ground of mistrust and conflict between the majority black population and the, now universally accepted, predominately white, right-wing and institutionally racist Metropolitan police force.
The estate's name was branded into the UK's population psyche when the unarmed beat bobby PC Keith Blakelock was cornered and chopped to death during the Broadwater Estate riots of October 6, 1985. He was the first serving police officer slaughtered during a civil disturbance for over a century.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Clippers and Celtics will resume discussions on a potential trade tomorrow morning.
For now, the Clippers and Celtics plan to reconnect on Tuesday morning to further negotiate the Garnett-Rivers deal, league sources tell Y!
Right now, it sounds like the basic bones of the deal are intact. The Clippers are giving up DeAndre Jordan and a first rounder, while the Celtics are giving up Garnett and Doc Rivers.
The argument is regarding how the pieces will fall around them. Eric Bledsoe seems to be clearly off the table at this point. The Celtics want the Clippers to take back contracts, but it is unclear what players.
The contracts in question are Jason Terry (2 years/10.675M remaining) and Courtney Lee (3 years/16.35M remaining). Lee is obviously more desirable from the Clippers perspective as a player, but Gary Sacks could be unwilling to take on extra salary at all. It's also possible that the Celtics are trying to force both deals on the Clippers.
Source connected to Clippers-Celtics talks: "It's certainly not dead, they're just staring at each other"

I don't think that's true, or at least it's certainly changing. Tablets and smartphones pretty much hit us in the face with specs these days, on advertisements and the spec sheet at the store. And as the lines between smartphone/tablet/pc increasingly blurr, I don't think you can say consumers don't/won't pay attention to specs because they certainly do in pc's.
May have been true with dumbphones, but from pc's to televisions spec sheets on store displays are standard and I think the average consumer is more familiar and comfortable with the basics than given credit for. It's largely the reason behind the megapixel wars in the cameras - even if a consumer doesn't know what 8mp means, they naturally expect it to be better than 5mp. At this point, most people have bought a couple computers over the last 10 years, and things like ram and ghz are terms they mostly get, even my 60yr old mom.

britelite™ plus offers the same reliability and performance of our current britelite product portfolio. Increased stability, enhanced storage conditions, and odor-free reagents make this new product the perfect choice for reporter gene assays.
Luciferase from the North American firefly (Photinus pyralis) is the enzyme of choice for reporter gene assays. Luciferase catalyzes the oxidation of the firefly specific substrate, D-luciferin, to produce light. This reaction is extremely efficient and the quantum yield is the highest of any characterized bioluminescent reaction. The bright signal makes this a valuable enzyme to use for reporting promoter activity.
Light production results from the reaction of the active site (carboxyl group) of D-Luciferin with ATP. This initial reaction leads to the reversible formation of denylluciferin and pyrophosphate. The adenyl-luciferin reacts with molecular oxygen to emit light and produce adenyl-oxyluciferin.
Although extremely sensitive, a serious limitation associated with this technology has been imposed by the very short half-life of the light emission. Flash-type kinetics, result from suicidal adenyloxyluciferin formation at the enzyme surface4. Several substances have been described that may influence this reaction in different ways, or that may enhance the light yield.
The luclite® and britelite assay systems are proprietary mixtures of substances that modify the enzymatic reaction to produce a longer lasting signal by preventing the formation of the adenyl-oxyluciferin at the enzyme surface in a way that is different from CoA-enzyme surface interactions which have been previously described. The differences between luclite® and britelite are the sensitivity and the half-life of the light emitting reaction. The reaction kinetics can be directed to either lower sensitivity and longer half-life or to higher sensitivity and shorter half-life. For britelite plus the higher sensitivity and shorter half-life option has been chosen.
The britelite plus assay system offers the following benefits:
Very high assay sensitivity
Designed for continuous process systems
Suitable for higher density microplates such as 384-well and 1536-well plates
Ideal for smaller-scale sample analysis when maximum sensitivity is needed
Odor free
Convenient storage conditions (2 - 8 °C)

Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Spread & Link Party
This quick, easy Roasted Red Pepper Dip is not only fantastic for dipping chips and veggies, it's a zingy red pepper spread for bagels, toast, and sandwiches.
So, apparently I have a thing for red peppers. While writing out this recipe, I became blatantly aware of how many red pepper recipes I have on my site.
Let's see, there's: Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Soup, Spicy Feta Dip with Roasted Red Peppers, Pollo Rojo, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Beer Chili with Red Bell Peppers, Stuffed Poblanos with Red Pepper Puree, Peach Chipotle Salsa, Grilled Fattoush, Strawberry Chipotle Jam and a handful of others.
So I like red peppers of all varieties, no big deal. I can stop anytime I want…
This little snack started with a bag of bagels. I had bagels, I had cream cheese, but something was missing. What could possible make cream cheese even better? You guessed it–roasted reds, baby! A puree of cheese, roasted red peppers and spice makes a tangy red pepper spread that begs to be slathered over bread and veggies. It transforms a plain turkey sandwich into something AMAZING.
These are Udi's Gluten Free Bagels and they are fabulous. They taste so authentic, I don't even miss the wheat! If you are interested in learning more about Gluten Free Living, Check out Udi's Online Community Page. You will find support to help you get started and lots of fantastic recipes.
Classic Farmhouse Dishes from Villeroy & Boch.
Yield: 12 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Roasted Red Pepper Dip
12 oz. cream cheese
12 oz. roasted red peppers, drained and dried
1 tsp. hot smoked paprika
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
3/4 tsp. salt
Add all the ingredients to a food processor.
Puree until smooth.

You definitely have a thing for red bell peppers. That is ok. I have a thing for chile peppers.
BTW, we just bought our first bag of Udi's Bagels. Haven't tried them yet. Will Friday morning. My son's allergist suggested that we start getting gluten out of his life so I bought a package the other day. Can't wait for him to try them. Glad for a good review. They are expensive, that is for sure.
Thanks for the Udi's Community link.
Thank you for this recipe – it is exactly what I was looking for to use as a spread on sandwiches. Today, my husband is taking a chicken sandwich to work that has this spread and thin-sliced cucumbers on it. I'm thinking this might also be good mixed into a pasta dish. I did add some mild Peppadews to the puree in order to give it just a hint of sweetness. Yum!

The Question of Divorce
1When Jesus had finished this instruction, #Mk 10:1-12 He departed from Galilee and went to the region of Judea across the Jordan. #Mt 7:28Lk 9:51Jn 10:40 2Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there. #Mt 4:23|NoBook| 12:15 3Some Pharisees approached Him to test Him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on any grounds? " #Mt 5:31Jn 8:6
4"Haven't you read," He replied, "that He who created # Other mss read made them in the beginning made them male and female," # Gn 2:18; Mt 21:16 # Gn 1:27; 5:2 5and He also said:
"For this reason a man will leave
his father and mother
and be joined to his wife,
and the two will become one flesh? # Gn 2:24; Mal 2:15; 1Co 6:16; Eph 5:31 # Gn 2:24
6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate."
7"Why then," they asked Him, "did Moses command us to give divorce papers #Dt 24:1-4Mt 5:31 and to send her away? "
8He told them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts. But it was not like that from the beginning. 9And I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery." # Other mss add Also whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery ; Mt 5:32 # Mt 5:32; Lk 16:18
10His disciples #Mt 10:1|NoBook| 26:56Mk 3:7|NoBook| 16:20Lk 6:13Jn 12:16 said to Him, "If the relationship of a man with his wife is like this, it's better not to marry! "
11But He told them, "Not everyone can accept this saying, but only those it has been given # Mt 13:11; 1Co 7:7 to. 12For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb, there are eunuchs who were made by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves that way because of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can."
Blessing the Children
13Then children were brought to Him so He might put His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them. #Mk 10:13-16Lk 18:15-17 14Then Jesus said, "Leave the children alone, and don't try to keep them from coming to Me, because the kingdom of heaven is made up of people like this." # Lit heaven is of such ones # Mt 18:3; 1Pt 2:2 15After putting His hands on them, He went on from there.
The Rich Young Ruler
16Just then someone came up and asked Him, #Mk 10:17-30Lk 10:25-2818:18-30 "Teacher, what good must I do to have eternal life? " #Mk 10:17Jn 12:25Ac 13:48
17"Why do you ask Me about what is good? " # Other mss read Why do you call Me good? He said to him. "There is only One who is good. # Other mss read No one is good but One — God If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments." # Lv 18:5; Neh 9:29; Ezk 20:21
18"Which ones? " he asked Him. Jesus answered:
Do not murder;
do not commit adultery;
do not steal;
do not bear false witness; # Ex 20:13-16; Dt 5:17-20
19honor your father and your mother;
and love your neighbor as yourself. # Ex 20:12; Lv 19:18; Dt 5:16; Mt 5:43; 22:39; Gl 5:14; Jms 2:8 # Ex 20:12-16; Lv 19:18; Dt 5:16-20
20"I have kept all these," # Other mss add from my youth the young man told Him. "What do I still lack? "
21"If you want to be perfect," # Or complete Jesus said to him, "go, sell your belongings and give to the poor, # Lk 12:33; 16:9; Ac 2:45; 4:35; 1Tm 6:18 and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me."
22When the young man heard that command, he went away grieving, because he had many possessions.
Possessions and the Kingdom
23Then Jesus said to His disciples, "I assure you: It will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven! # Mt 13:22; Mk 10:23; 1Co 1:26; 1Tm 6:9 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." # Mt 12:28; Mk 10:25; Lk 18:25
25When the disciples heard this, they were utterly astonished and asked, "Then who can be saved? "
26But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." # Gn 18:14; Jb 42:2; Jr 32:17; Zch 8:6; Mk 10:27; Lk 18:27
27Then Peter responded to Him, "Look, we have left everything and followed You. So what will there be for us? "
28Jesus said to them, "I assure you: In the Messianic Age, # Lit the regeneration # Is 65:17; 66:22; 2Pt 3:13; Rv 21:1 when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, # Ps 45:6; Mt 25:31; Heb 1:8; Rv 3:21; 22:1,3 you who have followed Me will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel. 29And everyone who has left houses, brothers or sisters, father or mother, # Other mss add or wife children, or fields because of My name will receive 100 times more and will inherit eternal life. # Mt 6:33; Mk 10:29; Lk 18:29 30But many who are first will be last, and the last first. # Mt 20:16; 21:31; Mk 10:31; Lk 13:30

Remembering Karen Errington
An actress many Kansas City area theatergoers know from musical theater performances has died. Karen Errington died early Tuesday, March 1, 2011, after her second bout with breast cancer.
By Laura Spencer
Kansas City, Mo. – Karen Errington was a native of Grand Rapids, Michigan where her father was a school superintendent. And, in a 2008 interview with KCUR, Errington said it was her father who cast her in her first role.
"My dad was actually a director when I was kid and he put me in my first show," said Errington. "He put me in several shows from then on. And then after that, I was on my own. I went for it. I could never not do it."
After studying musical theater at Marshall University in West Virginia, Errington headed to New York City where she lived for more than a decade. It was a summer stock job at Arrow Rock, Missouri that led her to Kansas City.
And since the early 1990s, she performed on most local stages - including the American Heartland Theatre, Heart of America Shakespeare Festival, Kansas City Actors Theatre, Kansas City Repertory Theatre, Musical Theater Heritage, Quality Hill Playhouse, and Unicorn Theatre - in musicals, revues and plays.
"I have worked with some of the most amazing professional performers in this town, people who live in this town," said Errington. "I've been able to have a life."
Services for Karen Errington:

Rutherford St. Mary Gaels basketball boys open up with a victory
Basketball and Wrestling
St. Mary's boys basketball team is aiming at winning a league title this season and the Gaels got off on the right step, but had to hold on against Hasbrouck Heights on Friday.
St. Mary was ahead by a score of 18-14 at the end of the first quarter and 35-27 at the end of the first half on the road and held off a furious Aviators rally to win the 2012-13 opener by a score of 64-61.
The Gaels received most of their points for three of the starting five as Keith Bacote, Shawn Johnson and Josh Davis who combined for 44 of the 64 points. Bacote led the way with 16 points while Johnson added 15 including a pair of three-point buckets and Davis chipped in 13.
Lyndhurst got a taste of what is considered the favorite for the NJIC Liberty Division in Dwight-Englewood as the Golden Bears dropped a 71-36 decision in Englewood on Friday.
It was a tough season opening night from the start as they were no match for the senior-heavy Bulldogs.
Lyndhurst was already down by 10, 17-7 after the first quarter and were losing 35-19 at halftime.
The Golden Bears could not match the scoring of Bulldogs Keion Osbourne and Robbie Zeller who scored 21 and 18 points respectively. Golden Bears Jerry Epfanio was the lone Lyndhurst player scoring in double figures with 16 points while Danny Kesack and Kyle Pollio were limited to four and two points respectively.

In a defensive battle St. Mary stayed steady throughout their battle at home against Hasbrouck Heights in the season opener on Friday.

This I have to make yet. Found it at the ImportFood.com sight. A quote from them "The pineapple adds a touch of tart sweetness to this dish. It has a rich creamy texture, and a red coloration that is an attractive complement to the shrimp. If you want to be a little fancy you can serve it in pineapple skin bowls." In place of palm sugar you can use Brown sugar!
