New Museum Presents C.L.U.E. (Color Location Ultimate Experience)
Still from C.L.U.E. color location ultimate experience, 2007. Courtesy the artists and Taxter & Spengemann.
This fall, the New Museum on the Bowery presents C.L.U.E. (color location ultimate experience), Part 1, 2007, a special project coinciding with major surveys of work by painters Mary Heilmann and Elizabeth Peyton. A collaboration between artist A.L. Steiner and movement artists robbinschilds (Layla Childs and Sonya Robbins), C.L.U.E. morphs and changes to accommodate the spaces it temporarily occupies. In its rebirth at the New Museum, it takes the form of site-specific performance, multi-channel video and video projection, created specifically for the museums unique gallery located on its interior staircase between the fourth and third floor galleries.
Dressed in vibrant vintage clothing in each hue of the rainbow, robbinschilds performs a series of choreographed duets to an operatic rock score by the Seattle-based band Kinski while a camera follows them to locales as varied as a desolate desert and a darkened parking lot. The videographer, Steiner contributes to the choreography through the use of perfectly timed jump-cuts dividing the piece into discrete, color-coded sections. The symbiotic relationship between Steiner, robbinschilds, and Kinski propels the narrative of C.L.U.E. and encourages the viewer to accompany them on their journey.
The presentation consists of three elements: two performances by robbinschilds to take place throughout the building; an installation in the shaft gallery of a seven-channel version of C.L.U.E.; and an outdoor projection of a single channel version of the project. The outdoor projection can be viewed beginning at 4pm each day from the museums interior staircase, as well as from the street after dark.
A.L. Steiner is a NYC-based photo/videographer who has collaborated with Chicks on Speed, robbinschilds, and Ridykeulous (with Nicole Eisenman). She has had solo exhibitions at Taxter & Spengemann (2007) and John Connelly Presents (2006). Her work is included in the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Museum of Art. robbinschilds (Layla Childs and Sonya Robbins) have presented choreographed works since 2003 that explore the relationship between architecture and human movement in venues including The Kitchen (2007), P.S. 122 (2007), and LACE: Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (2007).

Confederate Flag flown above the American Flag
The KNS' Fred Brown: The email was plaintive and makes a serious point. It is from Laura Brown (no relation to me), who is upset about a tavern in Oak Ridge flying the American Flag beneath a Confederate "Southern Cross" Battle Flag.
I went to the tavern today, Warehouse Road Tavern, to see for myself, and Laura Brown is right. The American flag is in second place on that flag pole. I am running her letter because I think it is important in this day of apathetic behavior.
In addition, I have looked, and U.S. Code Title 4, Chapter 7 dealing with the position and manner of display of the American flag, does address this issue.
Here is part of a note she sent me: "My brother served in Iraq and I have a son who is joining after he graduates from Maryville College. I just cannot turn my head to this – too many have died to watch someone take for granted my Nation's Flag. As my cousin said who by the way worked many years at the Veterans Hospital – Patriotism is going down the porcelain bowl and someone needs to take a stand even if it's a small one."
Didn't y'all run an article by Fred Brown defending the history and tradition of the Confederate flag a while back?
If I recall correctly, it was the same week the NAACP convention was going on, the same one that Bush refused to attend, neither of which got any coverage that I recall.
I might be mistaken, though, in which case never mind and my apologies.
Are you referring to this?
Plaque finds resting site
Subhead After two decades, historical marker honors soldiers
Byline BY FRED BROWN, firstname.lastname@example.com
Run Date 3/29/2007
Body Text After two decades of research and travel to Knoxville, Gary Goodson Sr., a descendant of one of the Confederate soldiers posted to the city in 1862, dedicated a state historical marker to the soldiers on the 145th anniversary of their arrival.
In 1862, units of the Georgia 40th, 41st, 42nd, 43rd and 52nd infantry regiments rode by train to Knoxville and then marched "two miles west to Camp Van Dorn."
On March 28 of that year, the camp -- named after Confederate Gen. Earl Van Dorn -- began filling up with Georgia infantry. Among those arriving was Goodson's great-great grandfather, Marion "Mike" Goodson, regimental drummer of the 40th Georgia Infantry Regiment.
Those troops, coming up from Camp McDonald at Big Shanty near Atlanta, were presumably being trained for action in Cumberland Gap.
The Historical Commission marker is near the corner of Western Avenue and News Sentinel Drive in Mechanicsville. The sign has been positioned roughly in the vicinity of where the camp is believed to have been established. Goodson hastens to point out that the camp was in a "natural bowl" and spread out along a creek.
During the encampment, many of the soldiers died of dysentery, measles and mumps, some of which can be attributed to the creek water.
In his quest to find the camp, Goodson -- an author, historian and professor of health sciences -- founded the Gen. Barton & Stovall History/Heritage Association. The association has been instrumental in helping Goodson with the project. He serves now as the association's historian emeritus.
He said Atlanta Realtor Thomas W. "Chip" Baron, Ed Combs of Forest Park, Ga., Paige Goodson, Goodson's daughter, and Goodson sponsored this trip to Knoxville to defray expenses of the historical marker.
In addition, he received donations from the Sons of Confederate Veterans Chapter 1397 of Dallas-Acworth, Ga., half of whom had ancestors at the Knoxville camp, Goodson said.
The article I'm referring to ran in July, 2003, maybe the 20th, on the front page of the local section.

Flags of the Confederacy
Subhead Battle flag just one of many banners secessionists flew
Run Date 7/20/2003
Body Text RICHMOND, Va. - In the spring of their downfall, their cause irretrievably lost and their flags covered in the dust of defeat, Confederate veterans returned home to tell their stories and reunite with a nation they had fought against for four brutal years.
The men in gray were no longer bright-eyed boys with wide smiles. They carried with them fond and tender memories of their flags, the colorful banners that often inspired them to endure scenes and accomplish tasks seemingly beyond human capacity and understanding. They fought for each other and died for their flags.
Although today's view of anything Confederate is tainted by political correctness, there is some rather fine history in the cloud and smoke of the controversy that surrounds the Confederate battle flag.
When most people think of the Confederate flag, the first image that comes to mind is the one still frequently seen today - white stars and blue bars arrayed in the shape of a St. Andrews cross on a field of red. That's the popular banner that often appears on the grills of tractor-trailer rigs, in the backs of pickup trucks and on decals, ties and coffee mugs.
Actually, though, there were six major battle flags - the Army of Northern Virginia's, the Army of Tennessee's, the Van Dorn pattern, the Polk pattern, the Hardee pattern, and the pattern of the Kentucky Orphan Brigade.
In addition, during the early years of the war, most cities, counties and secessionist states had their own banners as well.
"There were many different kinds of flag patterns," said John M. Coski, historian and library director for the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond. "What gives the flag its endless variety were the silk presentation and company flags, which were inspired by local symbols."
In addition, to battle flags bearing the St. Andrew's cross, Confederate soldiers fought beneath the St. George's cross, the Maltese cross, the Latin cross and the Greek cross. There was also a swallowtail-style flag and a pennant.
There were silk flags for presentations, garrison flags, naval flags (yes, the Confederacy had a pretty decent navy), headquarters flags, signal flags and miniature flags. There were even special burial flags.
The first national flag of the Confederacy, which was known as "The Stars and Bars," is seldom seen nowadays. It proved a liability in the war's first major fight - the Battle of Bull Run - because is was difficult to distinguish it from the Stars and Stripes held aloft by the federal troops.
The Museum of the Confederacy sits next door to the Confederate White House, where President Jefferson Davis and his family lived for most of the war. The museum has the world's largest collection of Confederate flags, which seems only natural. But it wasn't always so.
If you guessed the museum's flag collection to be in the neighborhood of around 500, you would be close. Housed in a 1,300-square-foot storage and examination facility are 650 Confederate flags, 510 of them wartime flags. More than 100 of the silk flags are kept in custom-built flat storage spaces.
The South sent 850,000 of its sons into combat during the Civil War, and nearly a third of them never came home again. Many died fighting for what they perceived to be right, but many others succumbed to disease.
A lot of the sons who fought in the war were Tennesseans, and two of the flags in the museum are the combined 17th & 23rd Tennessee Infantry, a Hardee-pattern battle flag, and the 16th Tennessee Infantry's flag, which is a Polk-pattern battle flag.
The Hardee flag was recovered from the battlefield at Murfreesboro, Tenn., in December 1862 by a Confederate soldier. Later, it was found in Richmond at the end of the war by Union occupation troops and was sent to the U.S. War Department. The flag was turned over to the Museum of the Confederacy in 1906.
The Polk battle flag was designed in late 1861 by Maj. Gen. Leonidas Polk, who was an Episcopal bishop before the war. Its design incorporated a red St. George's cross on a blue field.
Museum records indicate that on Jan. 30, 1862, 45 Polk-pattern flags were shipped from Memphis to Polk's quartermaster at Columbus, Ga. The Polk flags were carried into battle for the first time at Shiloh in West Tennessee.
Gen. Simon Buckner, who served under Gen. William Hardee, developed the Hardee-pattern battle flag. The flag was designed in late 1861 and served as the combined flag for the 17th and 23rd Tennessee Infantry regiments. The two units were consolidated in November 1863 and incorporated into Gen. James Longstreet's corps. Their battle flag was captured in the fighting at Petersburg, Va., in June of 1864.
"We are aware of all the flag controversy," said Rebecca Rose, curator of the museum's flag collection who has been with the museum 16 years.
"I don't have an opinion on the controversy," she said. "There have been no protests here because most people, whether they are for the flag or against it, believe that a museum is the place for it to be displayed.
A lot of people think the war-pattern flag was the national flag. It was a battle flag, not a national flag. ... There is an arduous history to the flag. Here at the museum we are not going to get caught up in the socio-cultural controversy."
Rose said the museum accepts donations for a flag preservation project that began in 1993. The museum is working on photographing the entire flag collection and its ongoing work of evaluation of the silk flag collection as well as other conservation projects on selected flags for exhibition.
The Confederate battle flag has been the subject of some legal rulings. According to Coski, the library director, the gist of those rulings is that private organizations, businesses and individuals have the freedom to fly the flag as they please and also to reap the winds of discontent, should they blow in as a result. On the other hand, businesses have a right to ban the flag from their premises as being too divisive for display.
"We have tried to be an educational institution and to remind people that there were more flag patterns," Coski said in explaining the museum's purpose. "And when we are asked, we take the opportunity to explain the complexity of the Confederate flags.
"There was not just one flag, and it is probably ironic that the Confederate battle flag is a rejection of the stars and bars, a flag that it deliberately resembled. The Southern states were once loyal and didn't want to cede their beloved old union that they had helped found in 1776."
However, because of the war's grind, two years before the end of the war the Confederates had completely embraced the battle flag bearing the St. Andrew's cross pattern. It symbolized their Southern nationalism and their rejection of the Stars and Stripes.
"But focusing solely on that one flag obscures the history of the changing nature of the Confederacy," Coski said. "Southerners were a new people, not just a new government, but a new people."
I am for some reason reminded of Miz Florence King's desire to save a flag from protesters, only so she could say:
"Shoot if you must this old gray head,
But spare this Yankee rag," she said.
Do many combat veterans patronize the establishment?
did you take any action when those kids in California put the stinkin mexican rag over the U.S. flag?????
How about minding your own frappin business. If the tavern owner wants to fly his flags in that manner...well free speech is a real bitch, isn't it. Before you get on your high horse, see Mr. Maurice Bessinger's Constitutionally Correct article regarding the empirial US flag at:
http://mauricesbbq.itgo.com/ and
As for Iraq, your brothers / sons are little more than a tool of the empire. It takes real guts to say "no" to an illegal and immoral war.
Laura Brown is attacking the wrong people in her small stand! Southerners are the best patriots of all; many Southerners have fought in all USA wars (count them--there have been many since 1865-think about it-yankee might makes right. Southern Soldiers have carried the Confederate Battle Flag with them in all these wars.
Confederate Southerners are first and foremost AMERICANS - this does not always equate to THE UNITED STATES but instead to THESE UNITED STATES as our forefathers intended.
In my opinion, the real reason Warehouse Road Tavern flies the Confederate Battle Flag first is because it stands for the Original Constitution and the USA flag below it because it now is anything but the ORIGINAL!
One of the questions asked about the Warehouse Tavern, was, Do any veterans go to the Warehouse Tavern? Yes! Many of the people that go there are vets. From WW 2 and up. I did two tours in Vietnam and was a POW and I go to the tavern. A young man in my Army unit brought his "Bars and Stars" to 'nam with him, but never got to bring it home.
A rare piece of American history is up for sale. And I think it should be owned by the U.S. government. It is the original 50 star flag.
It is owned by Bob Heft, the flag's designer. About Bob:
Robert G. (Bob) Heft (born in Saginaw, Michigan in 1942) is a designer of the 50 star flag, and one of the proposed designs for a 51 star flag for the United Sates of America. He spent his childhood in Lancaster, Ohio, where he created the flag as a school project.
He designed the current U.S. flag in 1958 while living with his grandparents. He was 17 years old at the time and did the flag design as a class project. He unstitched the blue field from a family 48-star flag, sewed in a new field, and used iron-on white fabric to add 100 hand-cut stars, 50 on each side of the blue canton .
This flag must be sold, because of Bob's failing health and family situations.
As of yet, we've only had interests from overseas, and would like this to remain in the U.S.A. If you are not able to help us, could you direct us to people who might be able to.

Why It's Not Smart to Call Women Conservatives 'Whores'
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
When Alan Grayson called a female corporate lobbyist a "K-Street whore" -- and was attacked as crude and sexist at the same time that he was lauded as gutsy and honest -- he played a role in a familiar script: hero of the left (MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher) attacks female villain (Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin) using sexist language. Progressive feminists soul-search about liberal misogyny. Mainstream media talk about sexism for 5 seconds. Then the media move on, and no one learns a thing. Repeat.
It happened again just two weeks ago, when Olbermann called Malkin a "big mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it" during the "Worst Person in the World" segment of Countdown. The creepily fleshy insult followed Olbermann's rendition of Malkin's e-mails, which he read in a Valley Girl voice to signal her presumed Barbie-doll vapidity. Megan Carpentier pointed out at the time, "A liberal, progressive critique of Malkin need not, and should not, resort to an attack on her looks or her gender or rely on silly stereotypes or imagery that brings to mind victims of domestic violence."
Malkin, who is actually the worst person in the world, wasted no time decrying Olbermann's sexist remarks. Needless to say, Malkin is not usually a passionate defender of feminism.
So there's obvious problem No. 1 with leftist firebrands dipping into sexist imagery and language to bash conservative women: nothing's more fun than highlighting the hypocrisy of your opponents. That's why when a family-values conservative gets caught doing prostitutes, guys or underaged pages, it's party time for progressives.
Olbermann's gendered attack allowed the terrible Malkin, who called Clinton a "gyno-candidate" during the presidential primaries, to ascend the feminist high ground: "The 'M' in MSNBC stands for misogyny", she happily announced on her blog.
Making themselves vulnerable to charges of hypocrisy is just one way that gendered attacks can hobble progressives. Grayson's outburst also undermined his larger point, an essential one about K Street greed allowing a very bad person -- Enron's former chief lobbyist, who had attacked Grayson for trying to push an audit of the Federal Reserve -- look like a victim.
Grayson's comment helped conservatives in others ways. Since Grayson burst onto the scene, conservatives have been trying to tar him as an extremist on par with the town-hall screamers, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. It didn't really work, because, you know, the things he was saying are actually true. But the backlash for his "whore" comment gave them the opening they needed to paint him as outside the mainstream.
Of course, Grayson's remark was entirely within the mainstream. The casual use of misogynistic language pretty much pervades our entire culture, and no, progressives are not innocent.
And consider the plight of progressive feminists when political allies play pig. It puts us in the terrible position of having to stand up for anti-feminist women, like Palin. This story -- prominent liberal attacks a woman who should be strongly criticized, using unnecessarily gendered language -- was one of the themes of election '08 (first with Clinton, then Palin) -- and keeps rerunning. It's sexist; we should know better. Certainly, it doesn't seem to have much strategic value. In fact, it has the opposite of strategic value: It gives your awful opponents ammo with which to validly smear you. Whether that's GOP lawmakers angling to delegitimize Grayson, or Olbermann giving attention-mongers like Malkin the ability to say, "See, liberals do this terrible thing. What hypocrites!"
So why does it keep happening?
As was often pointed out during the primaries, when Clinton garnered some horrifyingly sexist coverage (yes, in addition to a lot of very valid criticism), progressives who should know better resort to misogynist language because it's still OK to be sexist.

While Cinematical refers to him as "film critic," Tom Perkins does not deserve the title.
The FilmXTRATOM blogger has overtly plagiarized film reviews from JoBlo.com and other sources for over a year, and after denying it several times, he finally admitted to his wrongdoing. JoBlo has posted his apology letter.
What do they teach them in these schools? The young Brit blames YouTube for his actions:
"Now I know you don't want to hear any excuses but my main reason for starting to plagiarise a while ago was mainly because YouTube has become so easily corruptible these days I kind of wanted to see how corruptible it can be. Which of course got way out of hand and I forgot that I was taking advantage of your hard work."
Here's his YouTube page, currently "under construction." Perkins plans to "start from scratch" with his reviews, which is hard to imagine: he plagiarized every single review he ever wrote. TheFollowingReview tracked down the source for each one. Perkins' host site (Hey U Guys) has dropped him, and JoBlo.com dubs Perkins internet douche of the year."
Now that title may stick.

William Goss | May 12, 2010 4:45 AM
For starters, I didn't name that site, and you'll notice that I didn't call Perkins a "douchebag" on there either.
In fact, sister site eFilmCritic posts all of the same content under a slightly more professional name that I and others often link to instead. Don't get all giddy just because Google turned up an outlet of mine with, yes, a proudly provocative moniker. It hardly makes me a hypocrite for calling out a flagrant plagiarist.
jl | May 12, 2010 4:43 AM
WG - Unless I'm mis-interpreting your comment in that Tom Perkins deserves a more maggot-like description. If that's the case, then my apologies on my own name-calling and misinterpreting your comment.

how does 'douche' make the cut (or not) compared to 'bitchslap'? is one in good taste and the other isn't? aren't both trying to be provocative - whether it works or not is a different matter ...

As we watch the inevitable end to the Carmelo Anthony saga, it may be dismaying to see an "alpha" player attempt to assemble SuperFriends IV on a team that isn't the Wolves. But while the Nets trade away (almost) all of their young assets, and potentially spend hundreds of millions of dollars in salary to become perhaps one of the top dozen or so teams in the NBA, it may provide some comfort to note that the Wolves already have a similar, younger, cheaper player in Michael Beasley.
Beasley is almost 4 1/2 years younger, an inch taller, and five pounds heavier than Anthony. Beasley is on the books to make the same amount of money over this year and the next two years that Anthony will make each year if/when he signs his 3-year, $65 million extension.Even if/when Beasley signs an extension with the Wolves, it will likely be for as little as half as much money per year as what Anthony will be paid.
Other than salaries, age, and (of course) public perception, there isn't a huge statistical difference in the current season's output. Beasley has a better FG% and much better 3-ptFG%, while Anthony makes twice as many free throws per game.
Anthony pulls down a couple more defensive rebounds per game than Beasley, but I'm guessing Anthony's rebounding numbers would also diminish a bit if he were playing with Kevin Love. Anthony has better assist numbers, but considering the relative quality of each player's teammates, it may again be a "chicken and egg" comparison.
So instead of bemoaning the Wolves lack of involvement in a so-called "alpha" player's destruction of for sure the Nuggets and perhaps the Nets, appreciate that we have a younger, much less expensive substitute, who to my knowledge has never forbidden anyone from snitching.

Casio DW-5600E Alarm Timer Chrono, Sep. 2007
The star-like Backlight icon (above the 20 seconds)
is not an Auto Light indicator. Even it is used as such on some other Casio models. Yet other Casio models use A.EL or a combination of AUTO and the star-like icon. The Backlight function of the Caliber 1545 illuminates the display when an alarm sounds or when the countdown timer reaches zero. It also flashes when the hourly time signal sounds. Of course, the hourly signal has to be turned on. This is the case in this picture, note the bell icon next to "SU".

I just saw Mlb.com's power rankings and i think it is pretty far off of how it will turn out in reality. The rankings as of now go as:
1. Nationals (pretty spot on imo)
2. LAA (as an A's fan and a self proclaimed baseball junkie much too high)
3. Gnats ( Posey is a beast but no power in left and an aging 2nd basemen and pablo DL sandoval plus pitching concerns eems a bit high)
4. Tigers (about right if the closer thing works itself out, poor infield D should be canceled out by great offence)
5. Jays ( I need another year from Encarnacion and the chemistry is a big ?)
6. Dodgers ( they said Beckett would help anchor the rotation nuf said)
7. Reds ( way to low were my WS winners but cueto got hurt after like 6 pitches in Game 1 of DS)
8.ATL ( pre season ranking seems about right if Beachy comes back strong up a spot or two )
9. Tex ( i don't see any real improvement from last year and the is a bunch of subtraction i see about 86 wins max)
10. The Rays ( kinda like the A's east with better ownership. Too low for me i see the east as their's with the pitching , espescially if Longoria is healthy)
11. D'backs ( lot's of former A's but that will only power them so far. jk. good team good rotaion. but lost a superstar type player and is Hill real?)
12. Cards ( probably in about the right spot this early could make big leap if miller/ rosenthal are turn into possible 1's)
13. Yanks ( much to old and with a possible suspension going to Cano i see below .500 team)
14. A's ( if this is based off of offence alone Still too low and as i said before my A's bias is here so should land in the 2-6 spot)
15. Philly ( Too old, too many health questions, no really good outfielders. pick 2 and that should tell you why they shouldn't be a top 15 team)
(Mlb.com stops at 15 so I will too)
Here's my top 15
1. Nats
4. Rays
9.10. Jays Dodgers interchangeable
11. Cards
12 D'backs
13. Tex
14. Baltimore ( I'm not a true believer yet but i hope to be made into one)
15. Whitesox ( They have some really good pieces and some really inconsistant ones I could see another playoff push)
Double Sleeper Twins ( if they can straighten out the pitching)
I hope everyone who reads this enjoys my insight into what i believe are the contenders of the MLB
- and this is my first post on here besides a comment calling a Choice Homer where i was surprised nobody called me out on my typo in the spelling of his name. leave some comments on how you think things should be I'd appreciate any new opinions becuase I'm no expert and don't have any history of being good at predictions (besides calling the Nats success to go along with The floundering marlins last year)

An Oklahoma City man was arrested after playing Russian roulette and then driving down the street armed, in a drunken rage Wednesday morning, police say.
Wilhelm Andreas Wright, 42, was playing Russian roulette at a home in the 6500 block of Eastbourne Lane late Tuesday night. According to police, Wright's mother became upset after he asked her to play Russian roulette with him, and asked Wright to leave.
Wright's mother called police, who stopped him in his car a short time later. Wright was arrested on a complaint of possession of a firearm while intoxicated, DUI, and reckless driving.

Plesanton school board to consider borrowing from technology fund to pay for facilities plan

"...some of the projects listed in that report would be in places where homes couldn't be built and in other places were construction is unlikely at best."
Amazing how Pleasanton Unified says that in the Radum CA quarry site (Web Link) between the Pleasanton Garbage Service Dump and the new Livermore Outlet Mall/Livermore Airport (where there are all those For Sale or For Lease signs for Industrial Sites) the school district says entire residential subdivisions are now being built in the Livermore Airport Protection Zone (I wonder if some of the houses float or are under water?)
How can that be when the Livermore Municipal Airport, City of Pleasanton, City of Livermore and Alameda County know nothing about this according to Figure 4-1 here? Web Link (Fig 4-1)

Key sentences: "In 2001, the Sycamore fund stood at more than $7.2 million. Now it's down to a little over $4.9 million, with more than $2.4 million owed by the district."
Another bad habit remains after the retirement of the last superintendent--borrowing. If the district hasn't paid the $2.4 million back yet, how are we to believe it will ever be repaid? And why would we borrow at a time when technology in the classroom (iPads for instance) is advancing? Where does the district reserve stand? How 'bout we take the $250,000 out of the paychecks of those who insisted on this study?
Is the entire cost of early retirement explained? Is it a golden handshake and lifetime benefits?
It will be business as usual until this community demands otherwise.
on Mar 13, 2012 at 9:28 am
It could only be paid back if the economy improves. But we know it won't improve for a very long time. It'll be business as usual until we have a Republican President and Congress. It pains the heart to see the economy get worse, month after month, especially in this region. I like the idea of taking $250,000.00 out of the paychecks of those who are suggesting this. Can we get that put on the agenda for tonight? Probably not! Oh well, business as usual.

Meet Bill and Ann Kasper, the Riverside duo that defies the laws of physics. They can be in two places at once!
On Christmas Eve, they were in Roseville, near Sacramento. At exactly the same time, they were cruising the Highway 91 Express Lanes in their 2004 Prius. A camera snapped a photo of their license plate. A computer determined the plate wasn't in the FasTrak system. The Kaspers got a $25 ticket.
Three days later, it was Bakersfield. Bill Kasper: "We checked into a motel, went out to dinner and took Molly (their dog) for a walk. We even have photographs."
So does the Orange County Transportation Authority. As Bill and Ann bunked in Bakersfield, there they were again, freeloading on the Express Lanes in their Prius. Another $25, please.
I was set to nominate the Kaspers for the Nobel Prize for Time Traveling until Bill convinced me they had been nowhere near the 91.
Ann wrote "To Whom It May Concern," asking the Express Laners to investigate. She offered receipts and testimony from family members. The Kaspers had air-tight alibis. "It occurs to me," wrote Ann, "that it is possible that a similar car could have been at fault…"
Express Lanes spokespeeps give big numbers that dwarf The Wrongly Ticketed: 12 million trips a year, 350K citations, just 900 errors. Why the errors? The computer can't always accurately read the tags. Humans do not always catch the error before the ticket goes out.
Just 900 errors may sound like chicken feed, but that's just the number the Express Peeps cop to. Some "offenders" pay even when they doubt they did anything wrong. The Kaspers did that in November, the first time they got cited. "I paid because I wasn't sure," wrote Ann. She's sure now.
After she sent her letter, Ann received dismissals and apologies for both December citations. But I'm not convinced Express Lanes wants to go to any more trouble to cut its error rate. Call us if you have a problem, they say. And if you don't have an account, we'd be happy to open one for you.
The Kaspers have been good sports about their succession of citations, though Bill can't help thinking there's someone out there cruising the 91 Express in a white Prius without a care (or FasTrak transponder) in the world. Why bother to get one? Let the Kaspers take the hit.
But Express Peeps say if a vehicle is suspected of a violation but shows "record of dismissals," they don't mail the ticket. Oh, really?
Tickets and dismissals behind them, the Kaspers shared a Valentine's Day lunch at the Thornton Winery in Temecula. At that exact moment, they were zipping along the Express Lanes with reckless abandon.
This time, Bill Kasper called. An actual human looked up the case number, found the two prior dismissals and dismissed the Valentine's Day ticket — which shouldn't have been sent in the first place. She also initiated a refund of the fine the mystified Kaspers paid for their November "offense."
Now, the Kaspers await the refund — and the next time. Odds are there will be a next time.

What activities and resources make the Hagley Graduate Program special?
Students in the Hagley Program have access to an incomparable range of resources. They can choose to work with any of the more than 30 distinguished scholars who make up the History Department faculty. An extensive array of classes are offered each semester by both the History Department and other units at the University. Student and faculty research is supported by the University of Delaware's Morris Library, which includes not only more than 2 million books, but also manuscript materials and electronic databases. Many of us also make use of the Hagley Library, which holds the world's foremost collections of business records.
All Hagley Fellows participate in a weeklong orientation before beginning their first year. The orientation exposes students to the vast array of research opportunities in the Mid-Atlantic region's libraries and archives. Visits to museums and industrial sites help begin a discussion of the materiality of industrialization and the ways it is presented to the public. The Fellows play a critical role in running the Department's weekly speaker series. Participation in History Workshop provides an opportunity to engage with both up-and-coming and established scholars in an intimate, seminar setting. Hagley Fellows also organize a biannual conference that brings in scholars from all over the country to present papers on a topic of their choice. Fellows also have special privileges at the Hagley Museum and Library.

Albany-- Some Dougherty County school band members spent the afternoon banging out songs to bring in bucks.
For six hours Tuesday, Monroe High School's band danced and played songs in the school's parking lot as part of the school's Spring Fling. They hope to raise $15,000.
They're the only Georgia band invited to perform in Washington D.C.'s Memorial Day parade. The trip is expensive, $687 for each of the band's 92 members.
"What we're doing is we're having this to try and raise funds to help all of them go because we are going and we are going to take the whole 92," said Monroe teacher Essie Singleton.
The band will spend four days and three nights in D.C. If you'd like to help out, call Monroe High or mail donations to the school.

Mark Bradley, idiot columnist for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, ranks the Gators #1 in his latest, highly subjective poll. Some may not like the Gators top ranking here, but I do as it shows we are envied. Teams that traditionally lose never have the reputation of having obnoxious fans.
See the full poll here:
My opinion in the "most obnoxious fans" category pins UGA as a strong #1. Their preseason #1 ranking has only made them more so. Maybe they can print up T-shirts reading "UGA - 2008 PRESEASON NATIONAL CHAMPIONS"

As you most likely noticed, we are currently upgrading the site big time. Getting of old code still straggling around, improving and modernizing, simplifying and streamlining are the main goal of this update to prepare for the coming of Season 2 and all the new materials that we have been building in the past few months. That being said, it is never an easy undertaking and it often takes more time than you think so we are still at it. So we apologize for the 404 pages and other inconveniences. We are going as fast as we can to get every area of the site functional as fast as possible.
Here is what to expect from the new site:
- Easier navigation and less pages. All episodes are now viewable through a single click straight from the Episodes page.
- HTML 5 video. We got lots of complaints about the other player - now we are using YouTube, which is a web standard at this point so hopefully things run smoother from now on.
- More streamlined and focused content.
- Season 2 episodes and related comic books will be accessible through a paywall which we are currently in the process of setting up. We are sorry to no longer offer the show and comics for free but these things are expensive to put out and we want to be able to offer a better product, and a more timely delivery, so the show needs to be able to pay for itself. We offer three reasonably priced plans, which be reviewed in the Members section.
- We are dropping the French entirely from the site. We are sorry to have to do this but French traffic is only a very small portion of our global traffic and it requires almost as much efforts and to put it up as the rest - it just does not make logical sense, considering our limited resources.
The site should be more or less a challenge to navigate this week but after that, everything should be back to normal and we can slowly start to unleash the goodness of Season 2! Thank you for being part of the ride!

Dick Scruggs Hearing to Get Second Conviction OverturnedBy Sandra Knispel | Published 26 Mar 2012 10:40pm |
Former Mississippi attorney Dick Scruggs, who is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence for his involvement in a judiciary bribery scandal, is back in federal court in Oxford. As MPB's Sandra Knispel reports, this time he's trying to get his second conviction overturned.
Looking a lot less fragile than at his original sentencing in 2008, Dick Scruggs, in a dark blue suit and without handcuffs inside the courtroom, is trying to get his second conviction set aside. That's the one for supposedly bribing Hinds County Circuit Judge Bobby DeLaughter who prosecutors claim was hoping to be nominated for a federal judgeship.
"He has to prove that he was actually innocent of bribery, that there was no element of a quid-pro-quo in the dealings he had with Ed Peters and Judge DeLaughter."
Tom Freeland is an Oxford lawyer who has been blogging about the case from the start. At the center of Scruggs's attempt to get his second conviction overturned is a 2010 Supreme Court decision in the Skilling case that narrows the definition of bribery of an official.
"If Dickie Scruggs can show actual innocence of bribery he can get the benefit of Skilling and get his guilty plea set aside," Freeland said.
Meanwhile former Senator Trent Lott, in the witness stand on Monday for nearly an hour, vehemently denied that Scruggs, his brother-in-law, and a well-known Democrat, had had any influence over his political decisions. Instead he told the court that his phone call to Judge DeLaughter was merely a courtesy call, saying that, "Because of my absolute knowledge that he was never going to be somebody I would consider, I cannot conceive or recall in any way anything that gave him any reason to think that he might be seriously considered, or even considered by me. He did not fit the bill."
But Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Norman says DeLaughter still believed that he stood a chance, telling the court, "The fix was set, the hook was in. DeLaughter sold his soul in exchange for favorable rulings."
The most colorful testimony came from former state auditor Steve Patterson who had been a fixer for Scruggs. He told the court that he thought Lott's placing a call to Delaughter was "a pretty stupid thing to do." Adding,"Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" By that Patterson was referring to the undisputed fact that DeLaughter's mentor, former Hinds County Prosecutor Ed Peters, was handsomely paid by the Scruggs team for the illegal ex parte access to the judge.
This morning it's back to court for a second day of witness testimony.

La Crosse, WISCONSIN (WXOW) The La Crosse Loggers blew a 4-0 lead and ended up losing to St. Cloud 6-5 in 11 innings Thursday night at The Lumberyard.
Clay Williamson's run-scoring single in the 11th drove in the lead run for the Rox.
The Loggers grabbed the early lead thanks in part to a two-run home run from Nick Kanavas.
Then, after St. Cloud took a 5-4 lead into the bottom of the 9th, Austin Rei hit a solo home run to tie the game and force extra innings.
The loss leaves the Loggers 4 games behind division-leading Lakeshore with 10 games to go.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Bear aka Molly!
Facts about Bear aka Molly
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Bear aka Molly's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Bear/Molly - female, domestic long hair
Bear was found in Seaside after Hurricane Sandy. She had been previously spayed and is now up to date on vaccines.
UPDATE 3/21/13: Remember Bear? She was a kitty found in Seaside after the Hurricane. Many of us tried to locate her owners, but we eventually had to put "Bear" up for adoption. She was adopted last month and now needs a NEW home. You see, Bear, re-named "Molly", needs to be the only pet in the home. She is not getting along with the other cats in the current home. Her adopters love her so much though, they are willing to keep her until we find the right family for her. So PLEASE share this sweet girl, who needs to be the only pet in the home. If interested please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Other Pets at The Volunteer Auxiliary For Animal Shelters Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bear aka Molly, a Jackson Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Jackson, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Jackson.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Jackson already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Jackson breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Jackson paves the way for another one to be saved.

From TripAdvisor
"Renovations almost all done. Excellent customer service"
The front desk staff were super friendly and helpful and I also ate at the spacious new restaurant and the waitress was very friendly as well. I also had a very pleasant interaction with the housekeeping staff and enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the executive lounge. I would definitely come back and stay here when I next come to Albany.
-Jennsaisquoi February 2013
"Nice Hotel!"
I've stayed at this hotel a few times when it was a Crowne Plaza property and have always had a pleasant stay. The staff is friendly and the rooms are spacious and clean. I was even given free parking during my last stay – a nice surprise!
"Nice Hotel"
Stayed here for an event. Had a double bed room facing the Capital. Great view, clean room and bathroom. Loved the fact there is a Starbucks stand in the lobby! Nice touch for coffee to go if you're checking out really early like we did. No hassle on trying to find a coffee shop in an unfamiliar city. Would stay again.

"Excellent Experience"
The room was very comfortable and clean. The location was central to everything we wanted to do in Albany. Off street parking was easy to find and free on the weekend.

After years of striving and waiting, I am delighted to say the WDAM is now on the DISH satellite network in the Hattiesburg/Laurel area.
We went "on the bird" a few days ago along with WHLT the CBS affiliate for this area, the ABC and FOX affiliates out of Meridian and Mississippi Public Television.
WDAM is located on channel 7 on the DISH network in our 8-county Designated Marketing Area.
Just as we are over the air, if you are a current DISH subscriber already, it is my understanding that you will need to contact your DISH satellite provider about the details of getting your local channels activated if you are a DISH subscriber already.
If you want to get on DISH as a new subscriber, it is my understanding that the aforementioned local stations will be a part of the package offered to new subscribers.
This is something both we and many local viewers have wanted for a very long time. As a market with lots of rural area unserved by cable, the Hattiesburg/Laurel market has a very high percentage of satellite viewers who have had to depend solely on antennas to pick up their local stations.
There are basically only two satellite providers to choose from, DISH and DirecTV.
At this point, we, nor any of the other local stations in our viewing area, are on DirecTV. Rumor has it that they plan to add more stations in the future, and we hope that is the case.
We would love to be on DirecTV as well, and if it were up to us we would be. However, that is their call.
The DISH network has stepped up to the plate, and is in the process of putting all 210 local television markets on satellite just as they have done here.
For that, we are thankful and delighted.

The impossibility of ever achieving perfection, social or otherwise, is the underlying theme of Blithedale: A Virtual Utopia, a dramatization (or, perhaps "cyberization" would be more apt) of Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1852 novel The Blithedale Romance. (Director Tim Maner conceived the piece, with Elizabeth Banks credited as writer/adapter.) Hawthorne's novel was inspired by his failed encounter with Brook Farm, a commune in Massachusetts that aspired to a transcendental utopian ideal by combining the physical (the manual labor of farm work) and the intellectual/artistic. In this version, Maner explores the communal aspects of the Internet, the lack of success of technical/ cyber "progress" in bringing people together, and the ultimate breakdown of a utopian vision.
Entering the theatre at New York City's downtown multi-arts center HERE, there are no idyllic pastures to be seen; the audience is instead confronted with a stark playing area consisting of an opaque white Plexiglas raised platform and drop ceiling. The floor grid, which, when one of the characters steps up on it, signifies he or she has entered the virtual world, consists of 100 squares, while the ceiling (the framework is from Home Depot) suspended above consists of twenty-five 48"x48" squares.
As both set and light designer, Kyle Chepulis was responsible for creating the environment of a new cyber community (pictured). In the play, a group of people enter a virtual reality world in which each person is matched up with a "sim" (or simulated character) from the Hawthorne novel. The pairs of characters generally move and act in unison, though one member of the pair speaks more loudly and clearly, presumably for the sake of audibility.
Chepulis decided to work on the show in part because he has been involved with HERE since its inception in 1993, but mainly because of the "experimentation" a "technically challenging" project such as this one calls for. As he says, "What I do in my productions is try to figure out different ways to use light. For instance, in one play I used a 5,000W instrument to light practically the whole show. I could move it around the stage in an orbital arc." For this show, Chepulis focused on creating a bright and vividly colored ceiling. Since HERE's inventory included only "about 12 scrollers, and they're old analog ones that are too noisy," he needed other instruments and chose Wybron Coloram IIs. Chepulis also rented fresnels, which were used to light the grid. He rented the scrollers from BASH Lighting Services, the scrolls directly from Wybron, and 25 Altman 8" 2kW fresnels from Production Arts. Additional equipment was rented from Big Apple Lights.
Faced with the usual challenges of an Off Off Broadway budget and a small theatre, Chepulis came through with flying colors. He created a dynamic-looking grid set, all or part of which could be turned different colors and patterns from the lighting instruments placed above the ceiling. As the top and bottom grids change color, it becomes a cyber stage, underscoring both the advanced technology of the characters' world and the fact that even in the computer age, human concerns and passions never change.
Though Colorams can take up to 32 colors per scroll, the production's budget allowed for 13. Chepulis chose Tokyo Blue (Lee 071), Azure Blue (GAM 730), full color-correction blue (Lee 201), Pale Lavender (Lee 136), Mauve (Lee 126), Medium Red (Lee 027), Deep Golden Amber (Lee 135), Bastard Amber (GAM 325), Pale Green (GAM 540), Primary Green (Lee 139), Deep Straw (Lee 015), No Color Straw (GAM 510), and no color. The color selection process took longer than expected because mixing the gels with the opaque white Plexiglas affected the final outcome, and Chepulis wishes the final colors could have been even more deeply saturated. Nonetheless, he says he "had a lot of fun. The ceiling was like a checkerboard, and creating different patterns and mixing the lights, and seeing how they looked on the actors was really interesting." Chepulis found that "sharp delineations" between colors worked best, and he used Duvetyne as masking between the squares so color wouldn't "bleed from cell to cell."
Between each point of the floor squares was drilled a round hole, which was wired with a 75W PAR-30 halogen lamp, and covered with a Plexi dish lined with blue gel, giving Chepulis yet another way to create texture and light for the set. Utopia, virtual or otherwise, was never so well-designed.
The show was controlled by an ETC Microvision FX. Other Blithedale staff members were Andrew Hill, assistant set/lighting designer, and Jay Worthington, head electrician. Sound design was by Tim Schellenbaum and costumes by Nancy Brous. Blithedale: A Virtual Utopia ran at HERE in March and April.

..Lol sure. Oozing manliness.
No idea, most likely its more like a custom/tradition thing as I said no real good reason behind it. And I wear pink, but hey when you ooze manliness a little colour doesn't hurt >;d.
Or...you just plotted out where he WOULD stand and beat his crotch to it!? AHA you sly fox >;]. Well the girl was wearing a jumper for goodness sakes...who stares at boobs under a jumper, she was cute though but reminded me of my ex too much.
No it wouldn't =o it would just make him someone self conscious and potentially paranoid, while you leave scott free without having to feel like a pervert and feeling someone accomplished since you may have just made a guy become more diligent with his cleanliness (possibly bordering on obsessive). See, it all works out win win. But hey if you wanna be known as the crotch gazer then by all means gaze away.
ohmygod, that's just.. wow. Oh dear, haha! So there's a rule as to when you should stare at someone regarding their clothing? Definitely not. That's a terrible thing to do, he'd be paranoid for the rest of the day! Regardless, I get over my awkward and embarrassing moments minutes after they occur. I'm that used to it. He was probably more unnerved than I was, if I'm honest.
and to stay OT; My friend once posted a weird picture on facebook, of a woman basically er, pleasing herself and she was holding an atlas book. It came up in my news feed whilst I was getting on the bus, and some guy saw it over my shoulder and went 'Oh, that's nice.' It was so horrible, because the picture was HUGE and it looked like I was looking at the picture. :|

Hey dudes. I'm GuysToothGap, or Guy, (or I guess ToothGap?). Been a long time reader of BHGP and figured eh, sure, I'll sign up. I'm 25. I graduated from UNI in 2010, and still reside in Cedar Falls where I work in marketing. Pretty average life of a recent grad.. broke, crappy apartment, faint smell of booze and shame. (and uhh.. skunks. yeah, skunks.)
I'm a lifelong Hawkeye, I cheer as hard for them when they play UNI as I do when they play Ohio St. My favorite Hawkeye is too tough of a question, so I'll go top 5.. Tavian Banks, Tim Dwight, Bob Sanders, Drew Tate, and Marvin McNutt. Top 5 basketball is Chris Kingsbury, Dean Oliver, Reggie Evans, Greg Brunner, and Matt "Gator" Gatens.
Excited to be a member!
