Long-time readers may have noticed — and been annoyed by — the regular appearance of a cute animal video in the "Whoa!" section of our site. If you haven't, I recommend checking out today's video of a kitten pile, last week's video of a golden retriever puppy, this video of the runt of a litter of kittens who is learning to walk, these Bengal kittens playing, or these kittens grooming one another.
As the Executive Editor, I take full responsibility for this. But I also have an explanation.
Each day, the great staff here at Raw Story have to read and report on some pretty disheartening things — and some weeks are more disheartening than others. Today alone, here are 5 stories that disheartened me before 9 am:
So, yeah, by about mid-morning on a Friday, I want to watch a kitten do kitten-things, or a puppy do puppy-things, at least for a couple minutes, and I don't feel bad about that. Often, so does at least one member of our team. And we figure our readers might, too.
The news is a serious business, but we at Raw Story try not to take ourselves too seriously. Hence: kitty videos.
And your reward for reading this, of course, is another video. Here's a kitten attacking a much larger cat — a cat fight, if you will.

from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Mar. 9, 2014 10:20 AM EDT
Updated: Mar. 9, 2014 6:49 PM EDT
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Mamie Buoy) - A St. Albans man is behind bars after police say he robbed a couple in the parking lot of the Kmart near Patrick Street.
Police say the victim and her husband were walking when 25-year-old Aaron Stover walked up to them. Stover is accused of pushing the victim's husband out of the way, then bumping into her and forcing her wallet out of her arm.
Police say Stover took off with the wallet, but officers caught him a short time later walking along the Patrick Street Bridge. That's when officers say Stover admitted to stealing the wallet.
Stover is charged with robbery and is currently in the South Central Regional Jail.

Your Vacation Home Away From Home: Come and relax in our beautiful condo. We refresh it annually, and it was completely renovated in 2011. Since these pictures were taken we have gotten a new kitchen range and a new refrigerator. Our no smoking, pet-free 2 bedroom inside end unit has everything you need to unwind. The scenic view of our palm tree and the sound of the fountain in the lagoon can be enjoyed from the master bedroom, the living room, and your private balcony.
We provide 4 beach chairs, 4 boogie boards, 4 noodles, sand toys, a beach cooler on wheels, and a beach cart. The condo includes books & a video library for adults and kids, and games & puzzles for all. The fully-stocked kitchen has seating at the bar for 2, while the dining room has 4 chairs and a bench. The private patio off of the den is complete with a table and chairs, a lagoon view, and our very own palm tree! For those that want to stay connected our villa has wireless Internet!! No need to go out of the condo to do that kind of surfing!
We are mere steps from the elevator and laundry room - both on the other side of a set of double doors. Close enough for easy access and convenience, yet you don't get the noise from either amenity!! The outdoor pool is just down the stairs and around the corner, and the indoor facilities are a short stride into building #3.
The living room has a beautiful, brand-new queen sleeper sofa (purchased in April 2011). Also, we've just added a brand-new flatscreen HD TV, great to have for the HD cable there!! There is also a DVD player in there. The master bedroom has a ceiling fan, brand-new flat screen HD television, a DVD player, and a pillow-top queen size bed. There is also a private bath with a tub and shower. The second bedroom is ideal for kids with a TV, VHS player, and cable, and two sets of bunk beds (4 single beds)!
THE BEACH: Our beach, one of the last private ones on the island, is never crowded. The 8 minute walk across the private boardwalk over the salt water marsh is stunning. Enjoy the view of the wildlife and of the Robert Trent Jones golf course at Palmetto Dunes. Coco's, the only private beach side cabana, will have everything you might want while enjoying the beach - food, beverages, tables & stools, a break from the sun. The BEACH SHUTTLE can take you to and from the beach if you should forgo walking.

Newton Abbot volunteers to set up speedwatch (From Mid Devon Star)

Newton Abbot volunteers to set up speedwatch
9:11am Friday 21st December 2012 in Devon
Police officers from Newton Abbot are seeking volunteers to help set up a community speed watch scheme in the area.
The initiative follows feedback from public meetings in which speeding was raised as a key concern.
As part of the scheme, volunteers monitor traffic in hot-spot areas; speeding vehicles are recorded and warning letters issued to vehicle owners. Volunteers aim to educate motorists on the pitfalls of speeding, including rising numbers of those killed or seriously injured on the areas' roads.
Anyone caught speeding will be given sound advice. Repeat offenders will automatically be issued with a fixed penalty notice.
"Community speedwatch is a great example where local people identify a concern and then work with their local police team to ensure a positive outcome," said PCSO Rob Wright, who manages the scheme in the area.
Volunteers are provided with necessary training and equipment.
To get involved contact PCSO Rob Wright, Newton Abbot East Neighbourhood Team on 101 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

USENIX Tips for Admins: Virtualization and HPC Don't Go Together
At the USENIX LISA conference in San Diego, Lee Damon and Mike Ciavarella presented a foundation workship as a tutorial for admins with tips and tricks for working efficiently. The presentors didn't agree on all points, but one commonality was that they advised against running High Performance Computing (HPC) together with virtualization.
Virtualization was one of the main themes at the California conference, where workshops on the subject ranged from the open source Hypervisor Xen and virtualization with VMware ESX Server to a training session for programming virtual infrastructures. All this information prompted Damon and Ciavarella to warn against making rash decisions without first thoroughly testing a solution. Damon came up with a study in point. As sysadmin at the University of Washington, he has been maintaining huge clusters with HPC. Although he doesn't doubt the usefulness of virtualized systems, he feels that combining them with HPC can be problematic. His Australian colleague Ciavarella concurs in that he has had similar experience at the University of Melbourne.
In their often entertaining presentation, the two colleagues waxed skeptical in general about some of the new fashions in IT. One example is the iPod, which they observed some sysadmins using even as a backup solution. Damon cited another example where a sysadmin asked him for advice how he could reduce his workload, admitting that he often put in 120-hour weeks. This overtime was mainly because of downloads and patch updates for the countless open source applications he needed to administer. The response from Damon and Ciavarella was "Think of it, free software isn't necessarily free, even with no licensing fees. It costs labor hours!" On the one hand not all updates make sense. On the other, it might be best to calculate whether commercial support contracts easily offset working time best used otherwise. In the experience of the two presentors, many sysadmins forgo this calculation in favor of existing support contracts.
The overall consensus was that working time is a major issue among sysadmins, who even during the conference were incessantly juggling laptops, beepers and cell phones. Many of the tips that came out of this tutorial revolved around this issue and documentation was presented as one major bit of help. In fact, Ciavarella is dedicating another tutorial Wednesday on the subject with the title "Documentation Techniques for Sysadmins."
The streaming video of the LISA'08 conference is available at a cost from here.

text: Near perfect weather greets a large gathering of spectators for the annual Labor Day Parade in downtown Janesville. The more than two hour event enjoyed a variety of features ranging from several marching bands to miniature jet cars. The biggest concern for most smaller children was how much candy they could haul home. Their parents however could not escape the meaning behind a day dedicated to labor. Many shared thoughts of a slowly improving economy, and questions if a blue collar culture could ever return to pre-recession pay and employment levels. Most though came to enjoy a day apart from their work and worries, and enjoy a tradition dating back decades in a community known for both its skilled workforce and union heritage.

More than 700 children will get a surprise this Christmas thanks to volunteers who donated gifts to families in need.
The Children's Place matched sponsors with families who would otherwise go without during the holidays.
"It is frantic, as you could probably see. We need to make sure that we are checking them in to make sure the right gifts get to the right families," said Roxane Hill, the vice president of development at The Children's Place.
Thirty volunteers sorted donated gifts for 236 families. The gifts will go to the 746 children and their parents.
"Most of them are here receiving services at The Children's Place," Hill said.
"It is a really good feeling. It is a great time of year and it really brings the spirit of Christmas back," said Michelle Howard who donated some gifts.
For 10 years, Howard and her co-workers at Grey Healthcare Group have adopted families for Christmas.
"They give a list and it is awesome to be able to get the one thing they ask for for Christmas," she said.
"It is a very emotional time for them as they come and collect the gifts. We are very fortunate the sponsors that we have are very, very generous," Hill said.
Jennifer Snyder and her co-workers also adopted families this year.
"In the end we helped 72 people," Snyder said.
One family she saw in need really hit close to home as Snyder said she raised her two sons as a single mother.
"My kids had a part to do with it too. It just felt heavy on my heart that I needed to something. When I saw it was a single mom with two boys, I knew I had to do more," she said.
Snyder and many other sponsors donated more than the requested gifts – they often included clothing and toiletry items.
"About three cart full from Target. All for kids ages 7, 5, 2 and 1 and their mom," Howard said.
"It is amazing. I think about how many more kids and families that are out there that need help. Hopefully next year we can do more," Snyder said.
The Children's Place is a non-profit agency that helps heal the youngest survivors of abuse, neglect and trauma. Last year they helped 191 families and this year they were able to help more than 200 families.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

New beach bathrooms could soon be constructed off the shore of Bluebill Avenue in Collier County.
The Tourist Development Council approved $306,000 of tourist tax dollars to construct a permanent restroom facility. The project is part of a beach access facelift. A turnaround and boardwalk have been built for about $500,000, next up is restrooms.
"It's a good use of money," said beach-goer Brad Cornell. "It promotes tourism, access to the beach, that's what coastal Collier County is all about."
The Bluebill project is less expensive and less controversial than a $1.2 million restroom renovation at Vanderbilt beach which is tied up in litigation.
Right now there are temporary toilets at the Bluebill.
Residents and tourists welcome the permanent restrooms.
"It's always nicer to have something more permanent that's not as hot or might not smell as bad," said beach-goer Anna Fregeau.
The project still needs approval from the Board of County Commissioners. They are expected to vote on September 25th.

The top 10 films of 2008
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Every year—from Dr. Zhivago to The English Patient—there's got to be a "Top 10" space for some epic, sweeping, visually seductive romance. That slot falls, this year, to David Fincher's lush, effects-filled take on a F. Scott Fitzgerald short story. Take it apart, and it seems like too much about too little. Aging backwards is nothing new. Technically, Robin Williams did that on "Mork & Mindy"--the show just didn't go on long enough to show us the tragic end of that particular romance. But look at the cumulative effect of this film's slowly rising tide of detail: Brad Pitt's soulful performance, the carefully burnished cinematography, the deathly symbolism, the matter-of-fact fantasy, the inevitable melancholic outcome. Surrender to the sad beauty of it all and you get a dramatic, eloquent, highly artistic rumination on the uncertainty of life and the inevitability of death.

Best and worst TV of 2008
The seemingly endless Writers Guild of America strike finally came to a halt in February, causing near-irreparable damage to this year's television schedule. Most series ended up with truncated seasons ("Lost," "Desperate Housewives") or a complete delay until 2009 ("24," "Battlestar Galactica"). Many of the shows that did manage to make it back on the air in the fall returned to double-digit drops in viewership courtesy of their nine-month hiatus.

I don't really know how to begin to describe Marrakech - it's like nowhere else I've visited. I've never known such a short flight to take me to somewhere so different, so evocative. It's a concoction of sights, sounds and smells that have been blended in a unique way and where they really are so different between night and day. These are a few of the images I captured during a few days in May 2011.

WorldTeam on Parade
I always worry a little bit when talking about future news coverage because I know how quickly news can change. Nevertheless, it appears SkillsUSA WorldTeam will be getting coverage in the Labor Day Weekend edition of Parade Magazine. We're being told there will also be more extensive coverage in September in Parade Magazine Online. Parade is the largest circulation magazine in the country with 70 million readers of the print edition and 40 million online. This will be a nice splash for the delegations going to Capitol Hill in September and for the WorldTeam before they're off to London on September 30.

Self Made
An NASE blog on the self-employed and micro-business
Posted by Kristie Arslan - If you've ever had a bout of insomnia which left you flipping through the channels of very late night television, you have run across those crazy yet oddly addictive infomercials for various products or self-help programs. Was it me or did the President's much hyped speech on health reform last night seem like he was trying to sell us something? Albeit he had a much more impressive backdrop and he certainly had a better pitch than those we see plugging products, but nonetheless it was the same old pitch in a fancier package.
Did people think the President's speech lived up to the hype? Was it the lightening rod needed to bridge the divide on reform and move the ball forward?
It is no shocker that the Democrats bought what the President was selling and gave him a rousing thumbs up. They say the speech was just what was needed to reawaken their resolve to pass health reform. Republicans sat either stone faced or shaking their heads through most of the speech making it clear that they aren't going to give one inch to the President on this issue or likely on any issue.
Maybe I have been in the beltway too long, yet from my perspective as an advocate for the self-employed, the roll out of the President's plan was a non-news event. Other than throwing a bone to Republicans on medical malpractice liability reform and gently scolding his fellow Democrats on their public option or nothing crusade, the President didn't offer Americans, especially the self-employed, any new ideas on reform.
The President pitched a set of proposals that are already included in the three key Congressional health reform packages:
The key question remains, what does the President have to offer on health reform that is new and will help those who need reform the most like the self-employed? We're happy to help with some recommendations, Mr. President.
While I am pleased that the President has decided to take a more active role on health reform and referee the players on Capitol Hill, ultimately we all know that the devil is in the details. If the President is going to hold fast to the current proposals (some good, some bad) on the table and not offer any new ideas, then we need to know his opinion on the details and how it differs from Congress.
And just like those late night infomercials that suck you in with promises of clear skin, easily chopped vegetables or becoming a millionaire from the comfort of your own home, the President adeptly avoided discussing the fine print with Americans last night. Yet, we all know it is that fine print which will determine the success or failure of health reform.

Shady Kate-------
While many of her contemporaries have lightened up on the modeling game, or taken to hosting reality TV, Kate Moss is snagging headlines left and right. For starters, she's in a slew of Spring campaigns (Versace, Givenchy, Stuart Weitzman, and Rag & Bone come to mind). She made waves with her recent covers for Love magazine (she appeared nearly nude in a bathtub), and W's March issue (conversely, she was styled like a white lace-clad madonna), and closed out Paris fashion week with a surprise strut down Vuitton's sultry Fall '13 catwalk. And today, the model sent the Twittersphere abuzz after she read a passage of Fifty Shades of Grey on pal Nick Grimshaw's UK radio show. (It was all in the name of charity, apparently.) We're always wary of ubiquity, but somehow, Moss makes it work for her.

PLAYBOY: These days the Stooges are revered for having created a template for punk rock. You reunited the band in 2003 and four years ago entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. When you came out of Michigan in the late 1960s, were people as enthusiastic as they are now?
POP: Oh hell no. There were times when the people in the front row were slobbering or just staring at us, mesmerized, and that was about as good as it got. Then it would go downhill. There would be an angry front row, a puzzled front row, an indifferent front row.
One show in particular was painful but hilarious in retrospect. It was when I was solo in the early 1980s, in one of my crazed periods before my last big cleanup. I was a little bored with the backup band, so I took two hits of Orange Sunshine before I hit the stage. The band started to play the first song, and as I listened to it I thought, This sounds like shit. So I said, "Stop! Stop! Try another one." We went through everything in our repertoire, but I wasn't satisfied with any of them, so I walked off the stage. My tour manager, Henry, grabbed me in the wings and said, "We have no money to get to the next town. Go back out there right now!" I busted a Jack Daniel's bottle all over my bathroom that night. I was pretty upset. But you know, a year later people were saying, "I was at that show. It was the most amazing thing I ever saw!" I had periods when I would decide to tour without any front teeth, thinking, That'll blow their minds! But I maintained a high level of craft and preparation behind the freak show. I didn't perform bad concerts.
PLAYBOY: You've said the Stooges were "not once affected by total rejection and utter poverty." It seems as if you knew it was a great band, no matter how many times people said you sucked.
POP: Yes, I did. That was what tore me up. Not only that I thought we were so much better than other bands who were having an easy time of it but that I thought—and still think, with apologies—that they're all utter shit. [laughs] Almost all of the fucking rock business is an utter sack of dirty old filth, and should civilization fall, it will be their fault, not mine.
PLAYBOY: Which bands are utter shit? Do you want to name names?
POP: No, I can't do that. When I sit with you, I bring the politician with me so I don't have to go through the utter poverty and rejection again. We're here together, the politician and I. Part of me thinks, Just tell the truth, that they're shit, and say exactly how you feel. And I have to push that voice down sometimes.
PLAYBOY: Given the faith you had in the Stooges, do you feel vindicated now when people recognize the group's importance?
POP: This has been the most secure and relaxed decade of my life. I see people really interested when we do shows. They're happy—more now than even three years ago. Of course, if you play the Austin City Limits Music Festival at five in the afternoon and somebody's mom brought them to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers, then they'll be tweeting, "This old band is stupid! Get them off the stage!"
PLAYBOY: Who is the best live performer you've ever seen?
POP: James Brown is fantastic. Tina Turner was amazing at a certain point. I was lucky enough to see Nirvana twice, in tiny clubs—fewer than 200 people. The second time, Kurt Cobain said, "You're a jinx. Every time you come to our show, we play like shit." He called me one night, well past my bedtime, and left a message on my phone: "Let's get together in the studio." I called him back to be polite. I was not dying to record with him. I don't ever want to do a Muddy Waters supersession, you know?
PLAYBOY: When you were growing up in Michigan as James Osterberg, your family lived in a trailer. Is that fact relevant to the kind of music you make?
POP: In certain ways. It was a little trailer camp out in the boonies, by U.S. Highway 23, a two-lane blacktop. It was beautiful, surrounded by a stone quarry where you could go swimming and some deep forest where there were animals, and also bean, corn and wheat fields. I always felt different because I lived in a trailer and the other kids lived in houses. I went to junior high in Ann Arbor, and my close friend there was Kenny Miller, whose dad, Arjay Miller, was running Ford Motor Company at the time. Kenny would take my workbook during class and write, "Osterberg blows dead dogs," then give it back to me. A few of the meaner kids came out one day to visit and shook my trailer up a little. It caused a sort of anger that I keep. The strange thing was, people who didn't know me would later say to guys in my band, "That guy's a rich kid, right? Because he walks around like he owns the place."
PLAYBOY: Just so there's no lingering doubt, did you blow dead dogs?
POP: [Laughs] No, I never did. I've never blown anybody.
PLAYBOY: Was there any privacy when you lived with your parents in a trailer?
POP: No. Much later I realized that the big advantage of living in a trailer was that I learned to be civilized. Three people, day and night, in a 500-square-foot trailer—and that was the biggest one we ever had. Before that it was 400 square feet. My parents were very restrained people. There was no alcohol in the house. In fifth or sixth grade I got into music. If that hadn't happened, I'd probably be a fundamentalist preacher right now, a Jimmy Swaggart. "Send your dollars to me!"
PLAYBOY: After people meet you, they often say, "Oh, he was nothing like I expected." Do they expect a drooling, screaming zombie?
POP: Some people do. When you're younger, you're coming at everybody because you've got to show them who you are, and prove it. Later, if you get anywhere, it flips; they're all coming at you. You get crazy people coming at you. There's always some weirdness. The classic one is, I don't get a limo driver; he's a conga player. I don't get a plumber; he's a playwright. Long ago, during my different bachelor periods, some sexual partners didn't understand. They'd say, "Come on, you're Iggy Pop. Whip me! Beat me! Hurt me, hurt me."
PLAYBOY: So what is your taste in sex?
POP: It runs dark. [laughs] I like darker tones. Skin tones and all the stuff that goes with the skin tone. But I'm not going to do a rundown. Sorry. I am more private now than I formerly was.

They say Saville was driving a 2006 Chevrolet truck and failed to stop at the flashing railroad crossing signals.
Authorities said his truck crashed into the side of a Burlington Northern Coal Train.
Saville was transported to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria, where he remains in fair condition.
The Table Grove resident faces multiple charges, including driving with a revoked license, driving under the influence of alcohol, and possession of firearm ammunition without a FOID card.

News & Rumors
SIX FLAGS DISCOVERY KINGDOMVallejo, California Six Flags Theme Parks
Park News - (4/14/14) Sad news for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom this week as Bertie Mae, a popular Asian Elephant at the park has passed away. She suffered an "non-recoverable injury" in a hind leg and after consulting with Elephant experts across the country who could not find a solution to help the situation, the heartbreaking decision was made to euthanize her. (1/20/14) Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has named their newest baby dolphin born in the past last week Mirabella, born to mother, Bella. According to SFDK's Nancy Chan Mirabella is the first female dolphin to be born at the park in over eight years. (1/10/14) ThemeParkOverload has posted a new trip report from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom this week, showing off the removal of the Wave Jumper, Holiday in the Park as well as a look at the construction of the new Tsunami Soaker. And there is some bad news this week also… as the park has raised the price of parking up from the already insane $18 to a face slapping $20. If you're feeling a bit fed up with how high parking has risen (2 increases alone in the past year for this park) then read all the way to the bottom of the TPO article, as they are encouraging their readers to make a statement on the park's Facebook page about this. (12/17/13) GCA Insider Plus has posted a brief report from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom this week, reporting on the current dispatch time woes on Superman after the selt belts were added last month, as well as a look at the new Tsunami Soaker location. (11/24/13) It appears that Six Flags has plans to add seat-belts to just about every coaster they have in the chain that currently only runs with a lap-bar. This week new seatbelts were added to Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFDK, along with a new more beefy metal side-guard. You can see pictures of the new hardware posted at Great American Thrills. (10/22/13) Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is apparently testing out an interesting new feature on the sly. Each night during Fright Fest, starting at approximately 5:45pm, the Sky Screamer runs backwards for the rest of the night bringing a whole new dimension to the ride experience. (10/21/13) A full review of Fright Fest at SFDK has been posted to ThemeParkOverload this week, with photos, a video and a review of every maze. (8/9/13) ThemeParkPOV gives us a preview look inside SFDK as the park begins to setup their Fright Fest haunts. (3/4/13) In an interesting development Six Flags Discovery Kingdom apparently has a long-standing agreement with the city of Vallejo, where the city would contribute $7 million to help the SFDK build a parking garage. If the park chooses to go that route and build a 2,450 space parking structure, they have until 2014 "to seek a site development application, or forfeit the city's financial assistance".
2014 - Tsunami Soaker - (5/29/14) Six Flags Discovery Kingdom will open their new Tsunami Soaker ride on May 31st. You can see some fun videos of the action, including a POV, posted to ThemeParkPOVs and another review over at ThemeParkOverload. (8/29/13) Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has announced Tsunami Soaker as a new wet and fun flat ride experience for 2014. As predicted, this is a copy of the Aqua Twist ride that opened at La Ronde in 2013. The ride experience is similar to a classic Tea Cup style flat ride, except that as the ride begins your platform lowers down to surround everyone by a pool a water… and each rider is armed with a giant water cannon to try and spray the other riders with as well as guests standing around the immediate ride area. Even better for the park is the news that the park is expanding the operational calendar to be open to guests all year long in 2014, including holidays and weekends in both January and February. Cirque Dreams Splashtastic will also return in 2014 for a limited engagement over the summer of 2014, performing in the Dolphin Harbor Theater.

Students at Penn State Behrend did some spring cleaning of their own, and made some money in the process.
Their annual Trash to Treasure sale raised funds for the United Way of Erie County.
For five dollars bargain hunters got in the door to find good deals and help a good cause.
Many items were donated by students who are moving out for the summer.
"It's a help to the students because when they're packing up to go home there's only so much room in that car," said Ann Quinn who helped organize the event. "Then they realize 'oh, I better leave some things behind,' so that's where we get things."
Volunteers spent a week collecting and sorting the items for the sale.

November 17th, 2010
There have been a few movies that told several stories that were seemingly disconnected except for a single thread that connected them together. This 2005 comedy/drama from Showtime uses that technique, but the tales are all about people's sexual lives.
Stories follow a hooker and her photographer client, the photographer and his businesswoman girlfriend, the businesswoman girlfriend and her boss, the boss and his wife, the wife and a hotel desk clerk, the desk clerk and his ex-girlfriend, and the ex-girlfriend and her finance.
The stories are interesting and well done for the most part, but do get a little draggy in spots. The movie is entertaining without being remarkable, so while I don't highly recommend it, I didn't hate it either.

South African rider Greg Minnaar become only the third rider to win a men's downhill World Championship title on home soil in 2013 when he triumphed in his hometown of Pietermaritzburg, edging out American Michael Hannah by less than half a second. The pressure on Greg was particularly intense, as he was defending the title that he had won the previous year in Leogang-Saalfelden. He had also been crowned World Champion in 2003. Over a long and illustrious career, Greg has also experienced great success in the World Cup series, with overall wins in 2001, 2005 and 2008, and overall runners-up spots in 2009 and 2010. He has appeared on a World Cup podium over 50 times, capturing 16 downhill wins and one 4X win. He was also crowned downhill champion of the NORBA points series in 2003 and 2004. Born on 13th November 1981, GM first started cycling on a BMX at the age of four, but his real passion growing up was motocross. It wasn't until the age of 12 that he began to ride mountain bikes, inspired by his parents decision to buy a bike shop in Pietermaritzburg, and he started downhill when he was 16. His strongest qualities as a racer are his strength, determination, and, above all, consistency - during the 2008 World Cup series, Minnaar podiumed at five of seven events in the series, and finished fifth in the finals at Schladming to take the title by a comfortable margin.

Although I am in absolute love with Loewe's S13 line, in my opinion, these bags look more suited for FW than Spring due to their deep rich colors and the heavy materials (suede, supple leather, lots of hardware). But they are still gorgeous nonetheless.
Although I am in absolute love with Loewe's S13 line, I feel that the textiles (rich and supple leather, suede) used are more appropriate for a FW collection. Also, the colors (blacks, deep tans) are more reflective of a FW line as well. However, I still adore the bags. Just think they are more suited for another season.
I agree, it does seem rather fall-like.

Pioneering civil rights lawyer Julius Chambers a crusader for equality whose landmark cases led to integrating Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools died late Friday after months of declining health.
Chambers, 76, a soft-spoken but tenacious and unflappable attorney, fought against racial and employment discrimination to the end, said his law partners, James Ferguson and Geraldine Sumter, at a news conference Saturday.
Our community and our nation has benefited tremendously from Mr. Chambers tireless efforts to ensure that all people are treated equally, Ferguson told reporters outside the Charlotte firm that Chambers founded in 1964.
He believed that regardless of ones position, status, race, creed, color, religion or gender, everyone has an obligation to ensure equality for all.
Over the years, his enemies set his law office on fire, bombed his Charlotte home and his car. They also torched his fathers shop in his hometown of Mount Gilead.
Yet Chambers, who later served as chancellor at N.C. Central University in Durham, was never vindictive. And he never quit.
The animosity toward him and his positions was just heavy and real. You could feel it, said C.D. Spangler, former UNC president, who was elected to the school board in 1972 after Chambers had sued that board and won. But he never let that change him personally. He didnt hate the people who hated him.
The 1971 ruling in the Swann vs. the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education case mandated cross-town busing to end segregation of local schools. It also highlighted the power of federal courts to intervene when public school systems dawdled on their way to integration.
Chambers took eight cases to the U.S. Supreme Court including the Swann case and won every one.
He was my personal hero, said U.S. Rep. Mel Watt of Charlotte, who is President Barack Obamas nominee to lead the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
After Yale Law School, Watt had offers from firms around the country but returned to Charlotte in 1972 to practice law with Chambers.
Chambers said, You have an offer right here, and you can make an impact, Watt said in a 2007 interview. Here you can help the people you grew up with. And rather than separating yourself from them, you can bring them along with you. That was a compelling, powerfully persuasive argument.
Setting a course
Julius LeVonne Chambers was born in Mount Gilead on Oct. 6, 1936. His father, William Chambers Shine to customers whose Model T Fords he had washed owned a garage-general store near Mount Gilead, 60 miles east of Charlotte.
His mother, Matilda, helped out in the store and raised their four children, including Julius and older brother, Kenneth, a retired Charlotte obstetrician/gynecologist.
In 1949, 13-year-old Julius was looking forward to following his two older siblings to Laurinburg Institute, a private school for blacks. But one April day, fighting back tears, William Chambers told his son that the $2,000 hed saved to send him to school was gone, thanks to a white customer whose 18-wheeler Chambers had maintained and repaired for months, buying parts out of his own pocket.
That morning, the man had refused to pay the bill and jeered as he drove off with the rig. William Chambers spent the afternoon going door to door, asking for help from the few white lawyers in town. They all turned him away.
That was the day Julius Chambers vowed to study law.
Instead of Laurinburg Institute, he attended the all-black public high school in Troy, traveling 12 miles each way in a cast-off bus from the white school. To supplement the primitive curriculum students had to kill and cut up hogs on the principals farm he subscribed to the Book of the Month Club.
It must have been like pouring water on a sponge, said George Daly, who practiced briefly in Chambers firm.
Young Chambers did more than keep his promise. He graduated summa cum laude from North Carolina College in Durham, now N.C. Central, where he was president of the student body. After a masters in history from the University of Michigan, he entered the UNC Law School in Chapel Hill, where, in 1962, he graduated first in his class of 100 and was the first black chosen editor of the North Carolina Law Review.
At the year-end banquet at the segregated Chapel Hill Country Club, Chambers wasnt invited.
He didnt care, said Adam Stein of Chapel Hill, who later was the first white lawyer in Chambers firm.
All sorts of things in society could have created anger and distraction, Stein said. But he just plowed right through.
After graduation, Chambers, married to Kannapolis native Vivian Giles, was appointed as a teaching associate at Columbia University School of Law, where he also received a Master of Law in 1963.
Settling in Charlotte
A year later, he and Vivian arrived in Charlotte, where they set up a practice at 405 1/2 East Trade St. in uptown Charlotte. In his first year, Chambers took on 35 school desegregation cases and 20 suits charging discrimination in public accommodations. By 1972, the firm had 11 members, including five whites. Forty percent of its 1,200 cases involved civil rights.
It didnt take long for him to make headlines and for his constant prodding for change to draw anger.
By 1965, shortly after Chambers opened his law office, Charlotte-Mecklenburg had partially integrated some schools. But in January of that year, Chambers sued the school board to force total desegregation.
Days after Chambers filed the Swann suit, his car was bombed during a speaking engagement in New Bern. As Chambers checked on the car, people in the audience poured into the street, asking, What are we going to do? his partner Geraldine Sumter recalled.
He said, Were going to go back inside and finish the meeting. Theres nothing we can do about that car, she said. His demeanor was always calm. He never got upset.
That June, state Judge Braxton Craven ruled for the school board, concluding thered been steady progress toward desegregating schools. The case resurfaced in 1969, when federal Judge James McMillan ordered CMS to desegregate through busing.
Ultimately, Chambers lawsuit led to the 1971 Supreme Court ruling that allowed school districts to bus students to achieve racial balance.
Integrating Shrine Bowl
On Nov. 11, 1965, Chambers sued to integrate the annual Shrine Bowl, the yearly high school all-star football game between players from North Carolina and South Carolina that until recent years was played in Charlotte.
Eight days later, sticks of dynamite blew up at Chambers home and the homes of three other prominent Charlotte civil rights leaders.
Chambers and his wife were home in bed when the dynamite blew out a window in the front bedroom.
I threw up next to the house. I was angry, he told the Observer recently. I didnt know who did it. I didnt know why they would do it. I had my ideas. We knew getting with the Shrine Bowl was going to cause a lot of problems. And it did.
Chambers told the Observer he felt the Shrine Bowl lawsuit was one of his most important civil rights cases.
We were able to reach a lot of parents, teachers, principals, who played very important roles in black and white communities, he said.
In or out of the courtroom, Chambers reserve, his physical compactness, enhanced by neatly cut suits and close-cropped hair, prompted the label unflappable.
A lot of people were surprised to see Chambers in court, said his partner James Ferguson. Some people expected him to be bombastic and always on the attack. Chambers never raised his voice. He was always very low-key and very calm, and because of this approach, he disarmed the witness.
John Gresham, a former law partner, said Chambers had a habit of playing with string or a rubber band, often making a cats cradle, while interrogating a witness lulling the witness into a false sense of security.
Another tactic, Gresham said, was to start out asking innocuous questions that appeared to be aimed at finding out very simple things about the companys policies.
You could see the witness relaxing and thinking, This guy doesnt even know how we operate. Then Chambers would very carefully draw a circle around what he wanted to know, and as soon as he had the loop closed, he would bore in, and you could see the witness thinking, Oh, my God!
Though his words were few, Chambers lessons endured.
Once Chambers sent Watt to Lumberton in Robeson County to defend protestors charged with resisting arrest and assaulting an officer.
I get down there, Watt said, and I find that these are Native Americans whod been carrying tomahawks and demonstrating because they didnt want to go to school with black kids.
Back in Charlotte, a confused Watt asked Chambers: Why in the world did you send me to Lumberton to defend people who were against going to school with black kids?
Julius never looked up, Watt recalled. He said, Dont you believe in the First Amendment? Dont you believe in free speech?
Returning to roots
In 1984, Chambers left Charlotte and his firm to become director of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund in New York.
Of that loss, former Observer editorial columnist Jack Claiborne wrote: Losing a Julius Chambers is like losing a magnet, a force that helps energize the community.
Chambers was the third LDF director, following Thurgood Marshall and Jack Greenberg.
He returned to North Carolina in 1993, first to the college where he earned his undergraduate degree to serve as chancellor.
When Chambers arrived in Durham, the school was recovering from charges of financial mismanagement. He found unsafe buildings that had not been maintained for years, and only one endowed chair to attract top professors.
Chambers worked to raise the endowment from $1 million to $25 million by 1999. During his tenure, the university increased the number of endowed chairs to 14.
He raised academic standards and millions in capital-improvement funds. And under his leadership, 80 percent of the faculty had doctoral degrees and the school built new buildings for education and social work departments.
In 2001, Chambers returned to Charlotte and the law firm he founded. Again he became embroiled in a desegregation fight after a group of white parents sued the school system, challenging busing and other race-based policies.
Weve made a lot of progress, but I had hoped we would be much further on by now, Chambers told the Observer then. We must continue to bring people together and break down the barrier of segregation. In Charlotte, busing is still the only way to do that.
They called him Chambers
On Saturday, his friends and former law partners at Ferguson, Chambers & Sumter said Chambers was deeply concerned with recent legislation in North Carolina and around the country that had begun to unravel his lifes work.
They were left with grief and fond memories of an unassuming man they simply called Chambers.
He was too revered to call him Julius, Ferguson said. And it sounded too stuffy to call him Mr. Chambers.
So, for most of us, it was just Chambers.
In 1999, while he was N.C. Central chancellor, Chambers was diagnosed with cancer but underwent treatment and it never returned.
Then in April, he suffered a heart attack.
Still, partner Geraldine Sumter said it was a shock when Chambers daughter, Judy, called Friday night with news that Chambers had died.
His wife, Vivian, and mother, Matilda, died last year.
At the end, Sumter said Chambers body might have been frail, but, oh my goodness, the mind was still so sharp.
Shed visit him and theyd talk about cases. Hed say, Hey, hows Fergy (Ferguson) doing with that case? Or How about bringing me the file on this case? He never quit.
The firm never gave him a retirement party.
Im not sure Chambers ever stopped practicing law, Ferguson said. We think he didnt practice law when he was in the hospital. But if he wasnt actively practicing, he was concerning himself with people whose rights were being trampled.
With Chambers, you didnt talk retirement you talked about whats next.
Funeral arrangements were incomplete Saturday. Long & Son Mortuary Service is in charge. Observer staff writers David Scott and Gary Schwab contributed.
