Humanists Praise Passage of Fair Sentencing Act
Washington, DC, August 4, 2010
Leaders of the American Humanist Association (AHA) expressed approval of President Obama's signing the Fair Sentencing Act into law, significantly reducing the sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine.
"This corrects a historical injustice within our legal system," said Roy Speckhardt, executive director of the American Humanist Association. "The previous laws were racially biased and perpetuated the social and economic hardships already plaguing many disadvantaged members of our community."
The Fair Sentencing Act, which was signed into legislation by President Obama on Tuesday, is expected to diminish disproportionate racial divide within prisons, reduce prison over-population, and save millions in tax-payer dollars. The act will target high-level dealers and traffickers while limiting the excessive penalties for low-level crack offenders. The AHA supported the bill, lobbying members of Congress for their votes.
"Justice shouldn't be dependent upon class or race," said Speckhardt. "Correcting such flawed legal processes is a win for our society. This is a step forward for all of us, though there is still a long way to go."
The AHA's 2005 resolution on drug policy advocates "a world of mutual care and concern." It reads, "Current drug laws, including mandatory minimum sentences, tend to disproportionately affect people with few financial resources, leading to selective enforcement and disparities in sentencing." And concludes that, "What's needed are rational and pragmatic solutions that focus on harm reduction as a means to resolve the negative consequences of drug use."
The American Humanist Association (www.americanhumanist.org) advocates for the rights and viewpoints of humanists. Founded in 1941 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., its work is extended through more than 100 local chapters and affiliates across America.
Humanism is the idea that you can be good without a belief in God.

MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- A change comes to the famous cream puffs at the Wisconsin State Fair.
Golden Guernsey has been the cream supplier for over 80 years and now adjustments are being made since the Golden Guernsey Plant closed earlier this month.
According to WISN in Milwaukee, the makers of the cream puff now turn to a new supplier, another Wisconsin dairy company. A deal should be finalized this week.
"We have to make sure the cream puffs are always there for all our fans all across Wisconsin and it's my number one concern," says David Schmidt, CEO at the Wisconsin Bakers Association.
The Wisconsin State Fair went through 375,000 cream puffs last year.

Not only do most of us here hate Travis Outlaw already after a handful of games (and only one that counts!), but he's taking away valuable playing time from my favorite Net, Damion James. This guy HAS TO PLAY, not only did he nail that turn around jumper plus the foul, but in the highlights they feel it's necessary to show the guy screaming from the bench, that's just how awesome he is.
The point is, what can we do as Net fans to ensure Damion James gets playing time? If we all pitched in and bought Travis Outlaw a ticket to Siberia, do you think he'd be able to find his way back? If not, could we void his contract? Let's hear some support for the MAN, Djames

Stiff List by Andrew
- Nuggets at home: How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.
- Carmelo Anthony: Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.
- Kevin Love: Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.
- Charlotte Bobcats: The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.
- Mike Brown: Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.

An Amazing Girl Who Does Good
November 10, 2011 at 10:29 am , by Cassie Tucker
It's hard to preach positivity when you think about the state of our economy or the rising cost of gas (don't even get me started)! Yet here at LHJ, we like to spend our time commending people who make a positive impact on the world. I am inspired by fifteen year-old Hannah Taylor from Canada. At age 8, she started the Ladybug Foundation to help the homeless and "connect even more hearts in caring for each other." Today, Hannah's Ladybug Foundation supports over 50 shelters, missions, soup kitchens and food banks across Canada. The most remarkable aspect of Hannah is her humble nature. As she told me, she hopes "to be remembered as an ordinary human being who believes in the power of caring."
To learn more about this amazing girl—and maybe inspire your own kids to do good—grab your teenage daughters and sons and check out the documentary Hannah's Story, which airs this Sunday, November 14th at 10:00 p.m. EST on the Documentary Channel. [For more information or to request DOC in your area, you can visit documentarychannel.com]. It is impossible not to be inspired by Hannah. She's proof of how much impact one little girl can make when she has a big heart.

Get in the Kitchen for a Healthier Heart
October 7, 2011 at 11:49 am , by Cassie Tucker
I never cook. I'm a busy college student—between classes and commuting to New York City for my internship here at LHJ, I just don't have time. But this week, LHJ sent me into the kitchen. I got to go to the American Heart Association's launch event for the Simple Cooking with Heart campaign. The AHA partnered with celebrity chef Marc Anthony Bynum (that's him in the middle, with me on the left and editorial assistant Amelia Harnish on the right), a winner on the Food Network's Chopped, to give a group of journalists a cooking class. After a quick lesson in knife skills, we made two of the easy, tasty and healthy recipes from the campaign to get families back into the kitchen.
On the menu was Asian-style noodles paired with Asian coleslaw. We started with the dressing for the coleslaw: low-sodium soy sauce, red pepper flakes, sugar, olive oil and vinegar. Then I learned how to seed a cucumber and the easiest way to chop a red pepper: just slice the sides off and throw away the rest. I felt like a real chef!
After that, we moved on to the noodles, which just took mixing ramen, chicken broth, a little bit of garlic, mixed vegetables (a bag of frozen is fine) and a lean cut of pork in a skillet. Bring to a boil. You can substitute any protein you want—chicken, beef, shrimp—and it's still heart healthy. The whole thing took a little over 30 minutes.
Easy! After the cooking fun, I was able to bask, as well as feast, in my accomplishments. I wolfed down the meal I created and I realized I should definitely be cooking more. It felt good knowing that I had made something myself. If I can do it, you can, too. It's fun, and a good way to slim down.
"Just getting back to home cooking can lead to healthier diets because restaurant foods are always higher in fat and sodium," says Rachel K. Johnson, Ph.D., professor of nutrition at the University of Vermont and an AHA spokesperson.
Here are Dr. Johnson's tips for getting back into the kitchen:
- Try new things to find good, simple recipes that the whole family enjoys.
- Make a shopping list to save time.
- Get your kids involved. They're more likely to eat healthy food if they've participated in the kitchen.
You can find lots of quick, good-for-you recipes at the Simple Cooking with Heart website to get started (Click here and here for the recipes we made at the event). Head to their website, and commit to cooking more. It's the first step to a healthier heart!

Great product. If checking for server and service availability is what you need, this will do it. Easy to install and set up. The documentation is getting a lot better and the dev is good about answering questions.
Nice script :)
It has a small error in the installation documentation. A user, password and database needs to be created in the mysql database. And configure the config.php with such information. Without these 3 information, the installation will not work. Tested version: PHP Server Monitor v2.1.0 I sent an email to the developer to make the necessary corrections. Thank you.
What a fantastic little piece of software! Will monitor as many of your websites as you like. All works very quickly and easily, interface is straight forward and the developer is extremely helpful and friendly. Great open source project.
Does exactly the advertised job, and does it well ! Web design is a bit outdated, but functionnal anyway. Thanks for this nice software.

Editor's note: This column is the first in a series of regular columns by Southern Baptist Convention President Frank Page.
TAYLORS, S.C. (BP)--In this, my first article, I would like to set the tone for that which is to come. I firmly am convinced that Southern Baptists need to renew their understanding of who is in charge, of who has the power and who sets the agenda. This day, I call on all Southern Baptists to reaffirm that we belong to the Lord, that we accept His marching orders, and that His great Book, the Word of God, gives us that which we need for life.
Let this Scripture verse be the one to give us clarity and understanding. Ephesians 3:20-21 says, Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think - according to the power that works in you - to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (HCSB)
Let us confess that He alone is able. Isnt it exciting to see that He is able to do even more than we ask or think or imagine?
-- Is He truly able to transform our churches? Is He truly able to bring revival to the Southern Baptist Convention? Is He truly able to encourage us in Cooperative Program giving and mission work?
-- Is He able to involve a record number of persons from every age group and every size church?
-- Is He able to bring health and dialogue back to our convention?
-- Is He able to help us win more souls to Christ than ever before?
Let us correct our errant thinking. The Scripture is very clear -- it is His power that is at work. Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:10, Be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength.
Let us confirm that God is at work among us. Even in my limited time as president of the Southern Baptist Convention, I am already seeing examples of Gods power and work in the lives of people. Immediately after the Southern Baptist Convention, my wife and I left for a preplanned trip to Yellowstone National Park. Our precious and supportive church, First Baptist Church of Taylors, S.C., had given us this gift in recognition of five years of service.
While on this wonderful getaway, we passed by a small SBC congregation, First Baptist Church of West Yellowstone, Mont. Wanting to encourage that dear church, I stopped in to see if I might find someone there. It was a Sunday evening and it was getting late. However, in the parking lot I found several people who were part of a North America Mission Board resort outreach called the Innovators Ministry. While there, I did not get to meet Pastor Benny McCracken, but I did get to meet Mission Service Corps missionary Butch Riek and North American Mission Board resort missionary Bradford Lartigue. These men were helping to oversee a group of college students from around the Southern Baptist Convention who minister to workers in Yellowstone National Park. What an encouragement it was to see God at work in this way! That work, of course, is made possible largely because of the Cooperative Program.
Throughout the year, I am going to be emphasizing that Gods power is at work through our cooperative ministries funded by the Cooperative Program. In fact, I just received my first letter from a fellow Southern Baptist who is committed to bringing his church back up to a 10 percent level of Cooperative Program giving. Isnt that exciting?
Let us give credit where credit is due. The Bible says it well, to Him be glory! Let us repent of taking credit from the Lord. Let us repent of thinking that we have actually done anything good as a result of our own power and strength. Let us seek forgiveness from God for our selfishness and our lack of cooperation. Let us ask Him to cleanse us for actually thinking that we have done a great job when, in reality, we have failed in so many crucial ways. In other words, let us see things more clearly and in more honest light than every before!
Let us join in Gods concern that this glory be given to Him perpetually. The Scripture is clear that He wishes for glory to be ascribed unto Him throughout all generations. If that were not strong enough, in Ephesians 3:21 the Apostle Paul adds the phase, forever and ever. We recognize that we have done a poor job of passing the Gospel down to succeeding generations. We must realize that there are powerful societal and cultural forces at work. However, rather than being discouraged because of the difficulty of living in a post-Christian nation, let us remember that our God is able, and that He is able to do more than we ask or think. It is to this great God that we must give glory and teach our children and grandchildren to give Him the glory as well! Lets be honest where we have failed. Let us admit that we have often taken the credit. Let us also be encouraged that the task belongs to God and that the power is Gods power. To Him be the glory!

the propositions of microsoft and nokia are no good...... it's as simple as that!
so i am sick of the apple device buy back deals that microsoft keeps throwing. i am sick of the it's time to switch ads and i am also sick of wp enthusiasts! all of these deals and ads make it sound like iOS and android users don't know any better and that as soon as they try wp, they will be delighted. but why can''t nokia and MS and wp enthusiasts see the big fat giant elephant in the room? why can they not see the truth as it is. so here is a bit of truth:
windows phone devices and tablets are a failure not because android users and apple users are too dumb to discover them. they failed and continue failing because they are mediocre products with a mediocre mobile OS that offers nothing besides aesthetics.
let's begin with the phones: Nokia's phones are pretty but they are heavy and they love to slip and fall. screen is not as responsive as the iphone. it takes my 920 15 minutes to wake up after plugging it after it had run out of charge. camera in 920 is mediocre and in the 1020 it is great but sluggish as a snail.
now onto the mobile OS: oh boy where do i start?
1-important apps ARE STILL MISSING.
2-Apps are of inferior quality. my wells fargo app does not work. can anyone explain to me why? why can't i use MS wallet to pay for skype? can anyone tell me?
3-crappy annoying toast notifications.
4-addresses in IE lead to bing maps, as opposed to nokia maps; what a mess.
5-lack of alphabetical order in setting list: bizarre and extremely annoying.
6-cannot set up volume and ring tones for specific functions.
7- slow IE.
8-limited tabs in IE.
9-no support from google. gmail and youtube both suck on wp.
10-incredibly inefficient controls. try adjusting brightness of a picture or adding a new contact. it takes 10 clicks to accomplish these tasks while takes only a few in android and iOS.
11-no video editing. Arent nokia/wp devices suppose to be the photographer's choice? How come i am unable to edit a video on my 920? why am i denied the ability to edit a video and put it on facebook the way iOS and android users do? why can't i achieve that with my supposedly superior camera phone?
12-wp keyboard: can anyone explain to me the logic in denying us a downward arrow key?
13-voice command: why can i not use the voice command in IE? why? why only in bing, txt msg and email? how about the million other native apps in which one can use voice command?
14-why is it that iphone users can ask siri to wake em up at a certain time and yet no siri equivalent in wp? why? is MS not the company that uses kinnect technology? why can't they make something like siri?
15-can anyone explain to me the usefulness of NFC? MS wallet is useless.
16-where is street view in maps? i want street view.
17-wp app download via PC does not work.
18-no timely updates; i used to criticize android for update problems but here i am with an At&T 920 that has not seen GDR update that allows video editing and solve the problem of miserable daylight pics.
i understand that updates are coming! BUT THAT IS STILL UNACCEPTABLE. for instance, i needed a video editor at the time i shot memorable vids of my trip to yosemite with my friends. the trip took place 2 months ago. there is no point of me editing vids now and posting them on facebook for an event that took place 2 months ago. i needed the app two months ago. this is a basic function that should have been there. having stupid useless gimicky kids corner is no substitute for a video editing app in a phone that is supposed to be the photographer's choice.
now onto surface 2 and surface pro 2:
why in the world would anyone buy a surface 2 when there is hardly any apps and when you can buy an ipad that has a gazillion apps? makes no sense to me.
the surface pro 2 is a great device but it is too expensive. even if it is superior to the MBA and even if it is made of better material, STILL, a company struggling for recognition and user base should not be marking their devices at premium prices. the surface pro 2 with 8 G RAM along with touch cover combined SHOULD BE CHEAPER THAN MBA, perrrriod!
now onto the OEMs:
can anyone tell me why there has not been a single compelling laptop/ultrabook for windows 8? computers either have crappy screens or crappy track pads or crappy designs....why can there not be one single computer that has specs and quality and screen as good and beautiful as the mac book pro? one! all we need is one. why can't samsung, toshiba and asus make at least one product worth spending money on?
in a nutshell, iOS 7 is out. and a major android update is looming. these mobile OS's are incredibly mature and useful. yet even with windows phone blue, which who knows when it will come, wp will remain light years behind in terms of features, efficiency and app support. the next iphone is going to have a larger screen and will be most likely gorgeous and android devices remain lighter and thinner than the lumias. therefore, i predict that many people, myself included, will not renew contracts on wp devices. i personally am getting the iphone 6 as soon as it comes out next September; after all, why do i have to wait until 2015 just so i can use Venmo and Instagram on my phone or just so i can ask my phone to wake me up at a certain hour?

Update: Rail passenger collapses on station platform
Updated 2:51pm Sunday 8th June 2014 in News
A rail passenger suffered a cardiac arrest while waiting for a late night train.
South East Coast Ambulance Service paramedics and British Transport Police officers were called to platform three at Hove Station at around 10.30pm on Friday night after reports that a patient, believed to be a man, had suffered a cardiac arrest.
Eye witnesses told The Argus that there was a sustained operation by paramedics to try and save the man's life with chest compressions at the scene.
In the past hour, British Transport Police have confirmed that the man had sadly passed away at the scene.
One eye witness Alan Fisher said: "There were lots of police and medics at the station, it appeared as though somebody had collapsed on platform three.
"I saw medics trying to resuscitate with chest pumping which went on for several minutes before they ceased.
"Sadly when it ceased there did not seem a great urgency and I did not see anybody get up before my train left soon after."
An employee at the nearby Station pub said: "I live above the pub and I saw the lights of the emergency services so I rushed down because I was worried it was something to do with the pub.
"I could see it was in the station and I could see that somebody had collapsed on the train station platform.
"I could see the paramedics giving the person CPR but I couldn't see who they were giving it to and I didn't want to approach any closer."
A British Transport Police spokesman said: "BTP officers attended Hove railway station on Friday 6th June after a male collapsed.
"The incident was reported to BTP at 22:34 and was also attended by officers from Sussex Police.
"South East Coast Ambulance Service paramedics attended however the male was pronounced dead at the scene.

"Sadly when it ceased there did not seem a great urgency and I did not see anybody get up before my train left soon after." .. so from that it seems the collapsed person is dead ? what would Alan Fisher want them to do at that point seeming as the body is just a "dead " body should they then rush about like its urgent ?

Myself and a couple of friends were on the platform when it happened, every effort was made by them and a couple of other passengers to give CPR to the man, this continued until the paramedics arrived. We were at the scene for over an hour and during this time CPR continued to be given, I was a bit shocked and surprised at the eye witness statement as it did not give a true account of what happened.
I know every effort was made by the public and the paramedics to revive this gentlemen taking longer than the " several minutes " stated.
It was an upsetting experience to encounter and my heart goes out to his family for their sudden loss.

By Eric Kohn | Indiewire August 12, 2013 at 9:30AM
In HBO's "Clear History," Larry David plays a former marketer for an electric car company who quits his job over a dispute with his boss (Jon Hamm) only to watch the company grow extraordinarily rich shortly afterward. Much of the movie takes place on Martha's Vineyard several years later, when the David character wastes his days in disguise and trying to forget his past -- until it catches up to him when his former employer buys a house on the island. An off-beat revenge comedy, "Clear History" finds David engaging his usual improvised cringe comedy schtick, and there's no mistaking the influence of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on every scene.
Yet the movie also features a new collaboration: David hired Greg Mottola, director of the simultaneously intelligent and raucous comedies "Superbad," "Daytrippers" and "Paul." Though David's humor dominates the movie, Mottola's involvement presents the opportunity to revisit the director's career, in which he has demonstrated a penchant for smart, character-based humor each time out. Mottola spoke to Indiewire about his experience collaborating with David on "Clear History," the origins of the project, his work on HBO's "The Newsroom" and why he still plans to keep making features on his own terms -- for the most part.
With Larry David being Larry David, it's hard not to see this movie as an extension of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." How much did you consider that precedent when determining how "Clear History" would come across to people?
I heard that Larry was pitching this improved movie, that he was meeting with directors and my name came up. And before I ever met with him, I though, "God, how do you do that without making it like 'Curb'?" Then the flip side of that is that I thought, "Well, why, would you not want to make it like 'Curb'"? Obviously, you wanna differentiate it, but... What would you do if you were asked to direct a WC Fields movie? Would you be trying to push WC Fields away from playing WC Fields?
So when Larry and I initially started discussing how we were going to approach it, we had a very brief conversation about if he'll be different in this than he is on the show. And we decided that the character was essentially a loser compared to his "Curb" character. And the setting is so different than Los Angeles, which would take care of some of the feel of it. The idea of the movie was very specific even though obviously Larry gets into scenes that are reminiscent of "Curb" scenes. It would be a mistake to inhibit Larry's points of view, since his idea about people and human behavior is inherent to his comedy. So I wanted to try and find that balance of getting out of his way but at the same time just sort of be open to ways to make it feel somewhat different than the show. And some of it quite frankly is a practical issue, because Larry as a performer never really does the same thing twice.
Was the technique similar to the production of the show?
You're sort of forced to shoot multiple cameras, cross covering actors, because the scene won't cut together if you don't. Not that I would try to strategize: "Okay, is this the point where we go in for close ups or stay loose a little bit and see how the scene plays out?" For the movie, and on the show, there's a 30-page outline that has all the paragraphs of all the scene descriptions and no dialogue. We walked through the blocking on set the day we shot a scene, and told everyone what their intention is, roughly figure out the geography and whether we're going to shoot it handheld or with the cameras on tripods or where we're gonna start.
Nobody rehearses it, no one does anything until the cameras are rolling. So there's stuff in the movie that's from the first take before anyone's tried it out. Then there's stuff that went wildly wrong in the first take and we'd try to figure out what the scene should be and then we'd scrap the whole thing and start again. So it's a very experimental process. We just said, "Let's just let the process tell us what it should be."
How was this a new experience for you?
I was always looking to learn from the rules of Larry's comedy. One of the things that I realized he thinks a lot about is the exact sort of performance or mood or tone in a scene that will counterbalance the darkness of it. He's very concerned with the specific kind of tone so that we can push the comedy darker and further or more uncomfortable and awkward. There has to be something balancing that. For instance, coming up with the score for the film and working with a composer we hired -- Ludevic Bource, who did "The Artist" -- and we basically gave him free range to do what he wanted. But we were often pushing him to make things light so it would balance out with the darker stuff in the movie.
It's a style in which Larry can go further with some of the dark comedy if he's also telling the audience, "It's OK, we're in a comedy." That approach to dark comedy allows you to keep the audience with you and doesn't begin to shed people along the way, so they aren't like, "This has now become unpleasant and I don't want to be a part of it anymore."
As a director, how do you play a role in that process?
In between takes, we would stop and talk a lot about what we liked about it and what we didn't like about it and it was very pleasant, because it was just constant problem solving. And suddenly you're in position of co-writing the movie while it's happening and giving the actors tremendous room to try things to put them on the path of what we thought was going to work. Quite honestly, sometimes Larry would do that in the middle of a shot because it was the most efficient way to handle it. If he felt like something was going in the wrong direction he would drop out of character.
I was constantly thinking about where the camera should be and how, aside from helping the actors and thinking about the content, I was often doing stuff I haven't done a lot before: shooting a wide shot, going in for a close up, going back out for a wide shot -- replicating shots we'd already done because we now had a different performance or a different version of the scene. Obviously, it's easier cinematically to work this way because you can't do anything too heavily choreographed because it's hard to figure out once I've moved the camera to push in on a line, the lines are different in every single take. I started to think of it as if I was shooting a long comedy performance movie, more like a concert film.
Was that a daunting challenge?
I think it's probably typical of my anxiety that I mostly worried that I had all these great people and I was going to somehow squander them. But Larry and I would talk with Danny [McBride] and said, "You're overqualified for this part. You're playing the sounding board character," but having said that, every funny thing that Danny says in that movie came out of him. He's also a great guy, quite willing to play second fiddle to Larry, who wanted to be there and try this and is a big fan of Larry's -- so it was such a laid back set with the right combination of personalities that we just worked on really enjoying ourselves.
There were days where I was like, "Shit, is this working?" I have to confess it was extraordinarily fun to watch these people. The people who are more known as straight actors arrived on set with a little bit of anxiety about whether they could do this. Larry had said that he's worked on "Curb" with some actors who can't do it. He auditions people who can't do it and he doesn't hire them. But we didn't have any buyers remorse. We felt that everybody just got right into it and actors love it because you know they get to shape their parts.
Exactly how much of the movie is improvised?
Well, there's no dialogue in the script so, every line. There's maybe two or three jokes that were written into the script, just things that Larry and his co-writers have loved. But the whole thing is improvised. Unlike Mike Leigh, who improvises in a workshop and creates a script out of it, we just show up, and it's a little tricky because you don't know how long it's going to take to shoot a scene. Some scenes comes together really quickly and some scenes are disasters that take forever. But it sort of works itself out over time.
Was it liberating to make a TV movie without things like box office expectations on your mind?
That's interesting, since it started out as an indie film. It wasn't meant to be an HBO movie and the reason we moved it to HBO was that -- it's symbolic of where movie financing is this days, or the state of the two different mediums, that we got into a lot of arguments about casting with the company that was going to make it. It wasn't a studio, it was an indie arm of a studio.
And that indie arm of a studio was...
Larry's said it in an interview, so I guess it's okay to say it. It started as a Fox Searchlight movie. It ended amicably. We couldn't see eye to eye on all the casting. They have their marketing needs and I think I was a little surprised to find that Searchlight's marketing needs to be as important as main Fox's marketing needs might be. They wanted us to shoot the whole thing in North Carolina to save like a million bucks, location fees and things like that. We just wanted this movie to be set in Martha's Vineyard. It's a place Larry's been going to every summer for 12 years or so and it's what he wanted to write about. And it's an improv movie and he wanted to improv about a place he knew.
It's really the location that became a deal breaker. We understand why Searchlight was worried and biting their nails. It was an all improvisation movie and they would have had to spend a lot of money to market it. We thought, you know, let's just make the movie we want to make. It'll be a lot more fun, there'll be a lot less pressure. HBO had offered Larry an open door if he changed his mind and wanted to do it there. They could offer us the things we wanted and pretty much give us creative control. In Searchlight's defense, they were totally cool about it. They understood that we wanted to do what we wanted to do. I liked those people a lot, I was sad about it and wanted to do the movie for a movie theater but I'm not the first one to talk about how a lot of stuff that used to happen in movie theaters is happening on TV now.
Next: Directing "The Newsroom" and getting advice from Steven Soderbergh.
You've been working on "The Newsroom" since you directed the pilot. How do you feel about transitioning into that medium for the first time in several years?
My heart will always mostly be in features but the truth is, the more adult stuff I wanted to do isn't getting made. I'm hitting dead walls with certain kinds of projects I really wanted to make. I was sent "The Newsroom" script, and I thought, "This is political and relevant and about adults working in an adult world and really challenging. I should do this." I don't think I'm abandoning features. I've got stuff that I'm writing. But I'll probably go back and forth a lot more than I expected to. I'm still trying to write stuff that can be done more on a "Frances Ha" scale, so I can have as much creative control as possible and just accept the fact that it's going get a smaller release.
As I recall, at one point you said you wanted to try out micro-budget filmmaking akin to Soderbergh when he made "Bubble."
To be frank, the only reason I haven't done that is because I have three kids, and New York City is so fucking expensive. Until I have a little more financial security I think I have to stay in the Hollywood game.
But "Clear History" isn't exactly a Hollywood movie.
Yeah. It's a strange animal because really this is the first out and out comedy that HBO has ever done. They've done satiric movies before, movie that are very funny, but this is the first real comedy they've done. It's obviously Larry and his particular brand of comedy. So it makes sense for them as a company to do it but it's not what we're used to seeing in HBO films. I couldn't convince them to do my idea of promoting it by having Larry and Danny recreate all the publicity stills from "Behind the Candelabra." I tried really hard. [laughs]
Larry's character initially works for this electric car company but the politics of the world don't really figure into the plot. It's sort of a red herring.
It doesn't really aspire to anything that profound, but I would say that in the middle of it, we talked often about what Jon Hamm's character should be and I think it starts to become a real comedy about this golden boy who is handsome and smart and successful, but deep down an ethical, good person. Then Larry represents the rest of us. Many comedies are like that. It just ties into the sort of classic silent comedy archetypes. I agree that the start-up humor is kind of a red herring; the sort of classic comedy structure became the thing that was the most interesting to me.
Could you ever make something that wasn't predominantly funny?
Yeah, I can't seem to escape comedy. Whenever I sit down and try to to write something serious it just doesn't work. I wouldn't call "Adventureland" an out and out comedy, but is sort of is. It's just of a certain stripe, like a short story comedy or something.
So what's next?
I've got gigs for hire. I'm writing a script I've been doing for a long time for Paramount, which is a very hard adaptation that I'm slowly getting somewhere with. It's not a typical movie for them to make. They seem to be sticking with me and being patient with me as I keep dropping it to go do other things and coming back. And then I'm adapting "The Marriage Plot," the Jeffrey Eugenides novel. I'm adapting it with Jeff for Scott Rudin for Sony Pictures. It's not the kind of movie getting made a lot these days so I hope they let us make it.
And you hope to direct it?
Yeah, it's just taking a while. It's not the easiest book to take a crack but, it's certainly a lot easier than trying to adapt "Middlesex." Then I've got my own stuff. I'm writing one sort of more mainstream movie and one indie movie. I don't know if it would be a micro-budget movie. It's a New York character ensemble thing.
Any plans to direct more of "The Newsroom"?
I didn't go back this season because Larry's movie overlapped with the season. I could see myself going back next season. It's definitely a challenging job I got to try. But it's just a question of what my availability is going to be. I would love to be directing something I've written, which is why I'm writing four different things and hoping one of them will end up being that.
So you aren't entirely committed to any work that comes your way.
I have turned down things which would solve my financial problems with some certain degree of regret, that will certainly make more money than what I'm trying to do. If it's work for hire I know I'll never be engaged the same way, I'll never care about it the same way. I worry that I would actually hurt my career doing something I didn't enjoy. Because with some things I've been offered I know deep down inside I'm not going to love it.
Doing these things with Larry, I loved the process and it was new to me and although I'd done a lot of improv stuff in Judd Apatow's world, nothing was like this. There's nothing like doing an all improv movie. Our first cut was three hours long. Larry's nothing but a pleasure to work with and I really enjoyed getting inside his head and trying to understand how he works intuitively. He's not one to sit there and intellectualize the process all that much and he has a very strong sense of what his thing is. I really admire that. It definitely gives my ideas for comedy, things I would do differently now that I've had this experience.
So you're open to letting projects influence your goals.
Being friends with Steven [Soderbergh] for so long, he said, just keep trying new stuff. I definitely feel like I'm trying new stuff. I've stumbled and it wasn't always the safest choice but it's definitely kept things interesting. Hopefully it'll all payoff in the next one -- or the one after that.

The project to light Quincy's Bayview Bridge took another step forward at Quincy's City Council Monday night.
Aldermen unanimously voted to move forward working alongside the Illinois Department of Transportation.
IDOT is providing a 500-thousand dollar transportation grant for the bridge lighting.
But Mayor John Spring says there's still a lot to be done before the work can really begin.
"We have to work through all of the engineering design, work with the Illinois Department of Transportation, which we already met with them to get the work started, but we have to get the designs approved, we have to work with all of the various other departments - the Coast Guard, the Army Corps of Engineers," he says.
Mayor Spring says the city hopes to bid the project out this summer, and the goal is to have it completed by next October.

A medication ending in "one" such as prednesone is probably a (blank).
steriod medication
A medication ending in "lol" is probably a (blank).
beta blocker
Drugs that end in "pril" are probably (blank).
ACE inhibitors: benazepril (Lotensin),

moexipril (Univasc), and
quinapril (Accupril),
ramipril (Altace),
trandolapril (Mavik).
How do ACE inhibitors work?
Angiotensin II is a very potent chemical that causes the muscles surrounding blood vessels to contract, thereby narrowing the vessels. The narrowing of the vessels increases the pressure within the vessels causing high blood pressure (hypertension). Angiotensin II is formed from angiotensin I in the blood by the enzyme angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). ACE inhibitors are medications that slow (inhibit) the activity of the enzyme ACE, which decreases the production of angiotensin II. As a result, the blood vessels enlarge or dilate, and blood pressure is reduced. This lower blood pressure makes it easier for the heart to pump blood and can improve the function of a failing heart. In addition, the progression of kidney disease due to high blood pressure or diabetes is slowed.
What are CCB's (calcium channel blockers) for?
Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are a class of drugs that dilate the arteries, and are used for treating high blood pressure, abnormally rapid heart rhythms, pulmonary hypertension, Raynaud's syndrome, cardiomyopathy, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, and prevention of migraine headaches and angina.

Tricyclic Antidepressants
Calcium channel blockers and Tricyclic Antidepressants both often end in "ine". A notable difference between the two names is that (blanks) such as amlodipine end mostly in "pine" and (blanks) such as amitriptyline and clomipramine end in "line" or "mine".
Calcium Channel Blockers-"pine"
tricyclic antidepressants-"line" or "mine".
Side effects of TCA's (tricyclic antidepressants) include:
Dry mouth, dry nose, blurry vision, lowered gastrointestinal motility or constipation, urinary retention, cognitive and/or memory impairment, and increased body temperature. drowsiness, anxiety, emotional blunting (apathy/anhedonia), confusion, restlessness, dizziness, akathisia, hypersensitivity, changes in appetite and weight, sweating, sexual dysfunction, muscle twitches, weakness, nausea and vomiting, hypotension, tachycardia, and rarely, irregular heart rhythms.

The speed zone just near 24th and Jersey street, has been causing some issues.
And to really drive this home, police say there was a rear-end accident in that very school zone, just as kids were getting out of school Wednesday afternoon.
Nobody was hurt, but it's a prime example of why police say you need to pay attention to this sign.
"There's less parental traffic. At Madison if you drive by on a busy school day when the school lets out, there's parents backed up waiting, that's an indication there's a school zone there. This is kind of off the beaten path in a way, but the school zone does exist," said Quincy Police Officer, Neal Meyer.
And that's exactly why Officer Neal Meyer says this speed zone is a concern, especially when drivers assume children aren't present.
"There very well could be a child behind the tree right here sitting down and taking a break and these motorists do not know that." said Officer Meyer
Officer Meyer says northbound traffic is,more of a problem because there is no visible school in sight to remind drivers to slow down, and it's a situation that can be very dangerous when drivers are confused.
"We don't want motorists to drive around and try to determine 'Can I drive 20 today or can I drive 30 today?' how about all motorists just drive 20 and play it safe," said Officer Meyer.
And it's a problem crossing guard Jill Baker sees every day.
"They just whiz by they're goofing off sometimes with their friends and there might be a friend of there's behind them and they're kind of hot roddin' it, and showing off," says Baker.
To fight the problem, Officer Meyer says QPD will be conducting a speed survey this week.
And it's something Baker is thankful for.
"People should obey the law and there's consequences when you don't there's those risks," said Baker.
If you are caught speeding in this zone or any other school zone in town, it is a pretty pricey ticket, upwards of $300.

On Wednesday skyrocketing property taxes sparked a heated exchange at city hall. In a special work session, the City Council asked the Lubbock Central Appraisal District to explain two straight years of shocking property value increases and it wasn't long before both sides had it out over this very sensitive issue.
|Look Up the Value of Your Property
More >>
Last year, Lubbock property values increased by an average of 9% according to the appraisal district. And again this year, they increased by another 9%. Some estimate those percentages are even higher. And that, has some citizens outraged, and city council probing for answers.
Wednesday's meeting between City Council and the Lubbock Central Appraisal District may have started as a civil discussion. "When someone walks into our office, we get that person with an appraiser as soon as possible," says Dave Kimbrough with the LCAD.
But the discussion quickly turned into a firestorm of attacks. "You guys are being driven by the state government in Austin to drive up our values in order to fund the school districts," says City Councilman Gary Boren.
"This is a scheme to keep local schools funded. You keep jacking the appraisals up, year, after year, after year, after year. And the citizens of Lubbock, Texas are fed up," says Councilman Tom Martin.
At issue here: Lubbock's questionable, and by many estimates, colossal property value increases. What's in question is the accuracy of those appraisals. Of the 120,000 properties appraised this year in Lubbock County, the LCAD says about 12,000 of those appraisals will be wrong.
Councilman Victor Hernandez says that's a troubling statistic. "The entity doing these, is shifting the burden of higher taxes to the property owners. That's the problem I have with this system."
The LCAD mass appraises your property based on a small sample of properties in your neighborhood. That's what many are upset about. Already, thousands are challenging their appraisals. Last year, 50% of people who challenged won.
But the LCAD argues it can't be done any more accurately than it's being done today.
Council member Boren called for an investigation into the actions of the LCAD. He wants council to have access to the latest audit of the LCAD.
In the end, little was resolved. Frustrated council members say they will now propose cutting the tax rate to offset increases in appraisals. They also plan to take Councilman Boren's proposed 'truth in taxation' resolution to state legislators. It calls for keeping taxes steady even if property values increase.

(Guest post by Hannah Stephenson)
Last week I was delighted to attend a reading celebrating Poets of the American West (1910-2010) at the beautiful Hammer Museum in L.A.. The event was held in honor of the Poetry Society of America's 100th Anniversary. The featured poets were brilliant and highly-acclaimed: Wanda Coleman, Juan Felipe Herrera, Carol Muske-Dukes, Michael Palmer, and (two of my all-time favorites!) Jane Hirshfield, and Robert Hass.
I know. Sorry you weren't there to bask in auditory pleasure.
I loved the format of this reading, as most of the poets spent a majority of their stage time reading work by other writers (identified as West Coast writers). It was clear that poets had chosen work that resonated with them. Most intriguingly, this style of reading allowed the audience to see poets as both speakers and listeners; we got to watch a reader giving voice to and taking pleasure in someone else's words.
Wanda Coleman's readings were characteristically rousing and dynamic. I appreciate how she let the audience see her having fun; after reading one piece by Ishmael Reed, she laughed appreciatively. Juan Herrera's reading of Allen Ginsberg's "Hum Bomb" was exciting and impassioned, and he involved the audience by giving us a line to echo, responsive reading-style (we sounded a bit like congregation gone wacky, which I imagine Ginsberg would have appreciated). Herrera praised Ginsberg's performances, fondly recalling Ginsberg's "beautiful breathing" between words or lines.
Robert Hass's style of reading is fascinating. He manages to sound both conversational and authoritative, and I sometimes had trouble distinguishing whether he was reading a poem or providing commentary (which is a good thing, in this case). I admired how natural he was while reading; he was so blissfully easy to listen to. As he read a piece from Gary Snyder about the California coastline, he spoke as a tour guide might, punctuating the poem with occasional asides like, "Now we're near Diane Wakoski's home," or "And here's John Muir." The audience was eager to laugh with Hass (at his own sequence of punchlines with no joke), and to learn from him.
Jane Hirshfield's readings were calm and careful; though she spoke deliberately, she read her poems (many of which were quite short) comfortably, slowly. She also provided the audience with clapping instructions (always appreciated, right?), explaining that since she would be reading many brief poems, there was no need to clap in between each of them. It's so refreshing when poets communicate to an audience in this way.
These readings allowed the audience to experience a poem on multiple levels: the original material, the reader's feelings about the material, the poet's own voice leaking into and reshaping the words. The experience reminded me a bit of hearing a musician cover a song that they desperately love, and bringing something new to the work. At one of the very first concerts I attended on my own (well, with girlfriends, but still with no parents) at 14, I heard Ani Difranco cover Prince's "When Doves Cry." I remember wondering why she chose that song, and what she loved so much about it.
So what poems would you cover, given the chance? (I'd head straight for some of Wallace Stevens's Florida poems, Jarrell's "The Woman at the Washington Zoo," or something by Hirshfield, maybe "Ask Much, the Voice Suggested"). Would this work at every reading, or only in some circumstances (like thematic readings)?

Jason Moran and The Bandwagon; Monday, May 6, 2013
Jason Moran and The Bandwagon
Monday, May 6, 2013
Kuumbwa Jazz
"…shaping up to be the most provocative thinker in current jazz." – Rolling Stone
A fateful discovery of Thelonious Monk's "Round Midnight" changed the path of thirteen year-old Houston pianist Jason Moran from a classical player, and took him on a detour through the wilds of jazz. After signing with Blue Note Records in the late nineties, Moran has released albums that have consistently become benchmarks for contemporary jazz players and fans alike. A recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant, Moran continues to expand the boundaries of jazz expression. For the past 10 years, Moran and his trio The Bandwagon (Tarus Mateen on bass; Nasheet Waits – drums) has challenged the status quo and earned the reputation as the future of jazz.
In 1981, at the age of six, Moran began studying the piano, but longed to quit until he first heard the sounds of Monk, an experience that established an early role model in Moran's creative development. He later moved to NYC and honed his education at New York's Manhattan School of Music. Education still plays a central role in Moran's life, as he is on the piano faculty at Manhattan School of Music and has been lecturer/instructor at Yale University, Dartmouth University, The Kennedy Center and The New School.
Strength as an educator aside, since his emergence as a recording artist in the late 90s, Moran has proven his brilliance as a performer. Moran's debut recording as a leader, Soundtrack to Human Motion, was released in 1999 to great critical praise. Ben Ratliff of The New York Times named it the best album of the year and the Jazz Journalists Association awarded it "Best Debut Recording." The following year, Facing Left, established The Bandwagon trio with bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Waits, and prompted JazzTimes Magazine to declare the album "an instant classic." Moran augmented the trio for his third Blue Note release, Black Stars, adding avant-garde icon Sam Rivers, who plays saxophone, flute and piano on the recording. Gary Giddins of the Village Voice exclaimed, "Black Stars is possibly a Blue Note [Records] benchmark, definitely one of 2000's outstanding discs."
In almost every category of note – improvisation, composition, concept, repertoire, technique and experimentation – Moran and The Bandwagon have pushed the envelope, while still creating music that appeals to a broad range of aesthetics. They are currently supporting the release of TEN, Moran's 10th anniversary album with The Bandwagon. TEN was released in 2010 and features atmospheric, hypnotic post-bop, with blues inflections and subtle funk grooves. The trailblazing trio has proven to be one of the most enduring and creative piano trios in jazz today and TEN represents their most assured and focused album to date.

WASHINGTON (WKOW) -- A higher minimum wage and stricter gun control laws were two areas of focus in President Barack Obama's 2013 State of the Union address.
He said the people of Newtown, Aurora and Oak Creek deserve a vote on new restrictions.
The president said we should care for our neighbors, following the example of Oak Creek police lieutenant Brian Murphy.
Much of the earlier portion of the president's speech was focused on the economy.
He called on congress to pass a balanced approach of spending cuts and tax reform to cut into the national deficit.
Obama also said he wants to raise the minimum wage level to $9 an hour.
As for the war in Afghanistan, the president said 34,000 U.S. soldiers will come home over the next year.
Below is the entire transcript of the President's address:

The family of Ron Sexton is angry and want answers.
"He was trying to get the gun out of his pocket and they just kept on shooting at him," said David Wallace, Sexton's father in-law.
The 23-year-old father was shot and killed by police early this morning. His front porch is punctuated by bullet holes.
St. Petersburg police say this all started over a barking dog. Around 1:30 in the morning, Sexton was walking his dog and police say he began taunting the next-door neighbor's dog. All the barking got the attention of Sexton's neighbor, who came out to confront him.
Police say Sexton pulled out a gun and the neighbor rushed back inside to call 911. When officers arrived, they ordered Sexton to the ground. He was complying when, detectives say, he suddenly pulled out his gun and pointed it an officer.
"More than one police officer fired their weapons at the man and he died at the front porch," said police spokesperson Bill Proffitt.
But Sexton's family says police had no reason to shoot.
"He was getting the gun out of his pocket? Sure they would say that. Wouldn't you, to save your a**?," said Wallace.
In the middle of the all the gunfire was Sexton's 10-year-old son Josh, who was outside and watched his dad get shot.
"Well, he didn't deserve to die. They started shooting him and they missed seven times and got him once and killed him," said Josh Sexton.
St. Pete police say the three officers are on administrative leave while they investigate the shooting. But Sexton's family is skeptical the three officers involved will be punished.
"They know they're going to get off. They know it. They're police officers. They can do anything they want," added Wallace.

There have been plenty to be critical of this season, and quite a bit to be optimistic about. It's been a topsy turvey 3 weeks, we've looked bad, we've looked good, and we've looked inconsistent. While we all panic about young coaches making mistakes and young players blowing leads, let's take a moment to reflect on some of the Colts' players that have impressed so far in 2012.
As Monty Python would say, look on the bright side of life.

Discussions for a trade that would send forward Kevin Garnett and coach Doc Rivers from the Boston Celtics to the Los Angeles Clippers are back on, according to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski. For the second time since Saturday's trade talks began, the two franchises have resumed dialogue that had appeared to be dead.
On Tuesday, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge appeared willing to welcome Rivers back despite the failed discussions. But Wojnarowski reports that the Clippers reached out to the Celtics on Wednesday, a day after Rivers appeared apprehensive about returning when Los Angeles became unwilling to send center DeAndre Jordan and two first-round draft picks to Boston.
The trade talks began on Saturday but quickly died as Boston refused to consider a trade without Los Angeles involving guard Eric Bledsoe. The Celtics began compromising with a deal that didn't include the young point guard, and on Monday it appeared that the two squads were discussing smaller contracts to include around the main pieces. Once again, talks stalled as the Clippers were unwilling to give up the two draft picks.
Furthermore, Wojnarowski reported that Los Angeles was backpedaling in regard to a negotiated five-year, $35 million contract with Rivers. The Celtics coach's future has remained in limbo this offseason as the team considered rebuilding.
Although Rivers won't technically be included in the trade, the Celtics are willing to allow him out of his contract to sign with the Clippers. Boston, however, wanted draft picks essentially to act as compensation for releasing Rivers.

UPDATE: Making this the new ticket exchange thread. -Mike
Hi ladies and gents:
First, thanks Mike for making this the ticket exchange thread. I altered the FanPost accordingly as the tickets I had for the season ticket party on October 26 at Six Flags have now been taken.
From last year's thread (you can read here), and Mike also put a comment on this post as well, whoever posts here can't sell tickets for above face value (ex - sell your Wiz vs. Heat tickets for $500 a seat when the face value price is $100 a seat on Ticketmaster) and pricing negotiation should be done privately via email.
My seats are in VIP Box West, Row DDD, seats 31 and 32 (right on the edge closest to the tunnel and walkway where the other team comes out so you could literally boo the other team loudly and they'll notice). They have all inclusive food, drink, and parking, so even though these seats aren't cheap, they do have a lot of value, since they're close to the court, and you won't have to pay a dime for concessions and parking since that's in the ticket price.
STH rate is $137 a game here, on Tickemaster, the tickets' gate value are generally from $200 to $360 a seat here depending on the team, and you don't get parking passes.
Here's a view from my location - picture was taken last May at a STH Select-a-Seat event. The only difference between this pic and when you watch a game is that the court during the game will be the Wizards', not the Mystics' as it is here:
Monumental gives all the tickets, parking passes, etc. electronically which is a nice benefit and I send my tickets that way.
I go to about a third of the games a year with friends and family and sell the rest. In November at least, I definitely will be going to the home opener vs. Philly and at least the November 16 game vs. Cleveland and November 19 vs. Minny. I will probably see all the big ticket games this month (Nets/Knicks/Lakers) since I didn't get to see any games yet in the preseason. I know for sure that I can't attend the Saturday, November 30 game vs. the Atlanta Hawks.
To inquire about getting my tickets for the Hawks and/or later games (Wizards schedule is here), I am generally pretty flexible, please email me at:

Thanks everyone!
