Latinos, Blacks Join Fight for Civil Rights in Arizona
New America Media, News Report, Valeria Fernández Posted: Apr 26, 2010
PHOENIX, Ariz. -- A united front of black and Latino Arizonans mobilized against a state law that they see as a threat to their civil rights on Sunday at the First Institutional Baptist Church in downtown Phoenix. Jan Brewer signed SB 1070 into law on Friday, making Arizona the first state in the nation to make it a crime for a person to be undocumented.
More than 3,000 people demonstrated outside the state capitol and hundreds gathered at the church to protest the law. Human rights activists, religious leaders and congressmen called for peaceful mobilizations, boycotts and, if necessary, civil disobedience to stop the legislation they believe would lead to racial profiling, unsafe communities and economic turmoil.
Several voices from the African-American community and other ethnic minorities joined the fight, sending a message of unity at a time when the state faces a divisive immigration debate.
We here in Arizona are witnessing the historic and necessary 21st century awakening of the spirit of the civil rights movement, said Rev. Warren Stewart, to an audience of 300 people at the First Institutional Baptist Church. Other speakers included mayor Phil Gordon and Congressman Luis Gutiérrez, D- Ill.
Where do we go from here -- chaos or community? Stewart asked, citing the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. I offer this to be our response: non-violent direct action.
Stewart presented a battle plan to the audience that mirrored the strategy the black community in Phoenix used successfully in 1989 to force an unwilling legislature to create a legal holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This included an economic boycott.
And history might repeat itself.
One of the leading voices for a boycott is Congressman Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz.
There have to be consequences to this, Grijalva told New America Media. He is calling for out-of-state organizations to refrain from holding conventions and events in Arizona. With her signature, Gov. Brewer effectively sunk this state into an economic downturn that one convention not coming to Phoenix is miniscule.
But before considering a boycott, Congressmen Ed Pastor, D-Ariz., and Luis Gutiérrez, D- Ill., say they want to see direct action from the Obama administration to block enforcement of the new law that would take effect in August.
We need to stop this type of legislation from going to other states, Pastor told New America Media.
The congressman said President Obama can ask U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to seek a temporary injunction of the Arizona law through the courts. He is also calling on Obama to suspend the use of a national program known as 287(g) that allows local police to enforce federal immigration law and has lead to lawsuits related to racial profiling.
Congressman Gutiérrez said he is hopeful that Obama will take action to stop the enforcement of SB 1070 given the presidents recent statements.
On Friday, Obama said federal inaction in passing immigration reform had led to irresponsibility by others, a reference to the Arizona law.
Gutiérrez called for immigration reform during a passionate speech in front of the Arizona Capitol, but stressed that even if reform does not pass, that is no excuse not to stop the Arizona legislation in its tracks. He called on the administration to issue a statement to affirm that the police do not have an inherent right to carry out immigration policy, and that that is the responsibility of the federal government.
But, he said, agreements between local police and immigration authorities across the country may have paved the way for the Arizona law.
Every time the federal government said that you can carry out 287(g) and sanctioned it, you gave Arizona an excuse to do 1070, he said in a speech Sunday at the Arizona Capitol.
Sundays protest was the culmination of a week of actions in Phoenix, including an act of civil disobedience on Tuesday by nine students who chained themselves to the doors of the state capitol. People gathered to the beat of ranchera music in a rally that had a cheerful tone to it, despite the nature of the protest. T-shirts with the message Legalize Arizona were distributed in the crowd, which was made up mostly of young people and families with children.
The peaceful rally contrasted with the presence of hundreds of officers from the Department of Public Safety (DPS) who surrounded the premises of the Capitol grounds. Another rally is expected on May 1, when communities across the country will call for immigration reform.
This had the unintended result of bringing people together who are vulnerable and live this vulnerability day in an day out. The African-American community, the Native American community, the gay American community, said Roberto Reveles, former president of Somos America, a human rights coalition in the state.
Reveles, who participated in the 1960s civil rights movement, believes the passage of the controversial law will lead to more civic involvement and voter registration.
We feel this is our fight also, said Robert Tindall, director of Equal Means Equal, a campaign to bring awareness to gay rights issues. Its about equal rights and civil rights. Tyndall said his group used social networking sites like Twitter to inform about 6,000 people about the rally on Sunday.
While communities are planning actions on the ground, others are looking to challenge the new law in the courts. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Mexican American Legal and Educational Fund (MALDEF) are looking into an immediate legal challenge. Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon said the city also will consider a lawsuit.
But there is a question of timing. One of the most immediate challenges to stop the law from taking effect is based on the argument that the federal authority is supreme when it comes to enforcing immigration law and states cant regulate that area.
Another challenge, which would have to take place after the law has gone into effect, could investigate whether the law has resulted in the use of racial profiling.
Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, the author of the legislation, argues that his bill is not any different from what the federal government already does.
But legal observers say the fact that federal law supersedes state law could be the crux of the case against SB 1070.
The law is very likely to be overturned because it is preempted by federal law, said Muzaffar Chishti, a lawyer who monitors state and local immigration laws for the non-partisan Migration Policy Institute (MPI). Congress has reserved enforcement of immigration law for federal government, with very few explicit areas for a role for states or localities. This is not one of them.

Illegal immigrants should be deported to where they came from at the expense of their home country preferably. I have lived in six different countries throughout the world, speak 4 languages and have several degrees. I cannot imagine to be an immigrant or visitor in the country and not to respect its immigration law. But for the citizens of such country not to be outraged by the illegal immigration or even support such an illegal immigration, is sick.

I remember when Arizona was where folks moved to when they decided that Central and Southern California (the redneck/Republican part of the state) had gotten too soft on "coloreds" after civil-rights laws started being enforced more often than once every fiftieth blue moon. This whole clusterfrak doesn't surprise me one bit.
And to those who were arguing about it earlier: yeah, it is unconstitutional: Amendment 14, Paragraph 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America reads "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Ratified July 9, 1868.
Maybe the Tea Partiers think the Constitution is a "subversive document."

I have some doubts about the constitutionality of a law on the state level that seeks to control immigration and which requires people to have documents on their person proving that they are US citizens. Having said that, it is understandable that the people and government of Arizona are frustrated at the refusal of the President, the Democrats and the Republicans to enforce the immigration law vigorously. We are the only country in the world that allows its borders to be violated in such a economically and socially damaging way. Illegal immigrants should be deported, period. The borders should be sealed against illegal immigration, period. And Republican corporate and Democratic efforts to bring about "immigration reform," which really means "illegal immigration surrender" should be rebuffed. The Republicans are not supporting illegals because of their concern for their humanity; they are doing it to drive down wages for everyone, to return all Americans to the terrible labor conditions of the 19th Century. Democrats likewise take their money from the same corporate interests, from the President on down, mouthing platitudes, and hoping the illegals will enlarge the Democratic base. The current law should be enforced ruthlessly and there should be none of this bogus "immigration reform."

If a latino has a problem with being asked to prove he's here legally, then he has something to hide.
If he doesn't want to be profiled, then he should join those of us who are sick and tired of illegal Mexicans who sneak in here, can't speak the language, don't pay taxes, don't respect our laws, and then demand civil rights????
Go Arizona - and I hope many more states follow suit. It's time we had real immigration reform, which in my book, means coming here LEGALLY, the way they're supposed to!

This article was very poorly written. It's not about civil rights since illegal aliens don't have the right to be in the country. The truth is that people will do what they want regardless of the law. People just don't like to be caught or told that they're wrong.

April 26th is officially "Confederate Memorial Day" in Arizona. It's true. This is probably not the best time to mention that, but most people don't know that AZ joined the Confederacy during the Civil War.
Some would like to see AZ change it to "Civil War Memorial Day," especially with all the flack it's getting over the immigration bill. It would show people how AZ has grown more tolerant and open-minded. What do you all think?
Recall that the AZ economy suffered under the last boycott, when it resisted recognizing MLK day? It even lost SuperBowl XXVII when it was moved by the NFL to California. AZ does not want to go down that same road, again.

- 1. Shred your apple using a hand shredder. (If making only one or two bowls, I use a mandoline slicer with the shredder attachment. If making this for many people, probably easiest to shred in a food processor.)
- 2. Place shredded apple in bowl, and top with remaining ingredients.
- 3. Top with the cashew milk (best) or alternatively use water.
- 4. Stir vigourously. Within a couple of minutes the chia seeds and shredded coconut will absorb the liqid and you will have a delicious, ready to eat raw breakfast cereal.

The Rawtarian's ThoughtsBy The Rawtarian
This recipe is very similar to my raw breakfast cereal recipe; however, there are a couple of key differences - especially the addition of the coconut and the shredding of the apple.
In fact, it is the shredded apple that makes up the recipe - and gives it a stellar texture!
This recipe is for one person.

Benita's Review
Rawtarian's raw breakfast bowl
Fast, easy, filling and so yummy. I'm new to eating raw and really enjoying this site. I saw the idea of using dried cranberries (which I like much more than raisins). Going to give it a try in the morning. Thanks for taking the guess work out of trying raw.

You are very welcome, Benita! Enjoy your brekkie bowl! :)

I didn't think this would be good, but I tried it anyway. I liked it. I made mine with dried cranberries because I'm not into raisins that much and I don't do nut milks too much since my daughter is allergic to peanuts and nuts (trying to get her to eat better and detox). Anyway, I had banana milk. It was really good. I put too much milk but it was still good. Thanks so much.

What is the best type of apple to use? I used a Gala apple & when I shredded it, I got apple sauce. The end result was really good but because of the texture of the apple, it wasn't very filling

Hi Susan, How did you shred it?? Green apples (Granny Smith) tend to work the best, but I just use whichever apple I have in the house at the time :)

I just found your website yesterday, and I am so happy that you have many recipes that I don't have to use a dehydrator. This recipe is exactly what I was looking for in a breakfast cereal. I hope you don't mind that I tweaked it a little bit. I added 2 T coconut, 3 T. chia seeds, 3 T. buckwheat groats, 1 T. cinnamon......and coconut/almond milk. Used a red apple b/c that is all I had. Let it soak overnight in refrigerator. This morning stirred in sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. Had to omit the raisins b/c I can't have too much sugar. Well I was in heaven this morning, so yummy!!! I need something already prepared in the morning before I go to work. Now it looks like I have a few more breakfast meals, and I can even eat it as dessert too! Thank you, I can't wait to try more of your recipes!!! :-)

Dude!! This is a genius idea with the cardamom!!!! I had an Indian dessert like that once, and I hadn't thought about it until this moment really. It was creamy with pistachios and some kind of spice, which was probably cardamom. I gotta try this. Thank you for the inspiration! It is hitting me the right way at this exact moment, also I think I might have to do a similar thing with my sweet chia pudding recipe (cashew based creamy goodness)

I just found your site two days ago and I am so excited about the breakfast bowl. I had it this morning and it is great. I am on a very limited diet for my allergies and felt like I had no real breakfast options. Your cheesecake is my next recipe. Thank you for sharing your resources with the community. This may change how I eat!

I am just researching raw food as I am trying to renew my health and will be traveling for Memorial Day weekend. This is the perfect breakfast to pack and take to the beach to fuel my day.

Great idea Michael!

Just made mine with a Honey Crisp Apple and a tablespoon of peanut butter to make up for my being out of raisins...FANTASTIC!!
Yum Melissa. Glad it hit your spot!
Mar 10, 2013
I made this today for a quick brunch and used cashews instead of almonds (I didn't have any) and almond milk. Yum! My 18 month loved it also :) thank you!!
Hi Pia. Great to hear from you again! Glad your 18mo liked!
Mar 07, 2013
This morning I made this recipe and IT.WAS.AMAZING!!! I've never had anything like this and it was SO GOOD! I used a red delicious and cherry craisins. Didn't have coconut but did add 2T of sliced almonds for that crunch you were talking about. I'm so surprised by how much I loved this AND by how naturally sweet it was! Oh, and this was also the first time I had chia seeds! NEW DAY for me all around. Oh, AND I was full til lunch!!!!
Hi Angie! A new day is a good day :) This is one of my regular morning recipes. I love it too, and, as you mentioned, you can switch it up a bit depending on what you have on hand - this keeps it interesting.
Mar 04, 2013
I came on here this morning looking for a good breakfast recipe that does not require a dehydrator (hope to have one someday!), and I found this one...wow, gonna try it today. Thanks so much! :)
Hi Tobi, I'd love to know what you think!
Mar 03, 2013
Hello Rawtarian! Thank you for this recipe. I am not vegan but I am trying to incorporate more raw food into my diet. I had the modified version of this recipe this morning and it was delish! I have posted the recipe below:
1 shredded apple; 1 tablespoon flax seeds; 1 tablespoon raisins; I tablespoon pumpkin seeds; 1 tablespoon almonds; Sprinkle of cinnamon & 1/3 cup soy milk (This is all I had on hand :-( )
This will become a staple as it it delicious and quick to make. I will try again with homemade almond milk.
Thanks again for the recipe,
Hi Tara, those substitutions sound great!
I love it too, and, as you mentioned, you can switch it up a bit depending on what you have on hand - this keeps it interesting too!
Feb 21, 2013
Yum! I replaced the Cashew milk with Almond milk, the buckwheat groats with buckwheat flakes (couldn't find the groats!) and added some cranberries... delicious! Thanks

Hey Tom - so glad you liked :)
Feb 19, 2013
I had this for a snack last night (with almond milk) & again for breakfast this morning (with water & added 1 tbsp of ground flax seed for my daily dose of Omega 3). This is SO GOOD. After I got settled at work, I emailed the recipe to my husband, my mom, my mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law & about 6 people at work. :) It's light & crunchy & satisfying & just down-right yummy. Thanks for the great recipe! I can't wait to try it with dried cranberries & dried blueberries and...

Hi Summer! You are so cute with your emailing lol. Glad you liked! It's a really handy recipe, and I like to switch it up a bit every time so that it doesn't get boring. I had it this morning myself!
Feb 12, 2013
Could I substitute the almond milk with skim milk instead, would that affect the recipe at all? :)
Amazing site, your recipes are absolutely brilliant, and completely fuss-free to boot!
The Rawtarian
Feb 12, 2013
Hi Anu, dairy milk isn't raw, but really you could use any time of "milk" on top - just like any breakfast cereal the choice of milk is yours and it won't really affect the recipe much. good question
Jan 30, 2013
Yummy! I used Steel Cut Oats since that's what I had. No coconut on hand, so substituted one ring of pineapple for two servings. Hubby liked it, too! This will be made again and again. Thanks so much!

Can I use almond milk instead of cashew milk? I know I can, but is it as good and does the almond milk soak up the chia seeds as well?
The Rawtarian
Jan 27, 2013
Hi Sandy, yes you can use any type of nut milk - they will all work the same :)
Jan 24, 2013
Do you mind if I feature this recipe in my Positive Life for Me newsletter? (https://subscribetoapositivelife.wordpress.com/)
I have a feeling it will be accepted and tried by many. I can provide links and references back to your page. :)

This is my first trial with chia seeds. Been wanting to make it since I first saw your video about it. This is Mucho D-licsh and I even used water; should be amazing with nut mylk! So much tastier, way more nutritious and kinder on the tummy than processed cereals. Its that holiday time of year so I made mine with shredded pear and dried cranberries (which weren't raw but one of these days I will dry my own). I honestly can't taste the cranberries but the pear is probably a good way to change it up every once in a while. You had mentioned some emotional discomfort with sipping on breakfast smoothies this time of year - I don't blame you. Maybe you could have some of your raw breakfast bowl with heated (but no hotter than 105) mylk.
Hi Lisa! The pear/cran combo sounds delightful. A nice way to switch it up! I agree, it is even better with almond milk, but it definitely works with water - I have it with water 50% of the time. :) Glad you are on the chia train! Next stop, chia puddings!!
Dec 05, 2012
Great flavor and texture....I'm going to try it with Almond milk tomorrow morning to see if it gets creamier.
And I presume the water gets brown from the oxidation of the apples.
The Rawtarian
Dec 08, 2012
Hi Christine - I think you are bang on about the apple oxidization!
Nov 25, 2012

So glad you've enjoyed this one Jen! I like it too. It's a regular one in my recipe rotation!
Nov 25, 2012
This morning as the kids are still asleep I decided to make this apple
breakfast instead of waking everybody up with my blender. I have been sitting
on this recipe for weeks now and I don't know why I waited so long to make
it. It took me less time to assemble it than making my smoothie. It seems too
me that it was going to take good, but at the first taste I was wowed, it
tasted way way better than I thought! I think this is a much better
alternative for breakfast when you are traveling, pack all the dry
ingredients, a shredder and I guess if you can't store milk in your hotel
room, use water or maybe coconut water or if you are not a 100% raw buy some
small 8oz almond milk containers at whole foods. Thank you very much, it was
no fuss, no mess and absolutely delicious!
So glad you liked it, Celine! Definitely a great alternative to green smoothies- especially when on the road or trying to be quiet :) I felt the same way about almond milk - why did I take so long before I tried that? My answer? because we just weren't ready yet :)
I'm new to eating raw and tried this recipe ths morning. The flavor was good but I noticed my water got brown, do I need to soak my groats before using them?
I don't soak anything before making this recipe. My water gets brown too - could be from almonds, groats/apple
Jan 24, 2013
If you don't sprout your almonds and buckwheat groats, then you're missing out on most of the nutritional value. 'Raw' isn't about 'uncooked', it's about 'living'.
Both the almonds and the buckwheat contain enzyme inhibitors, which make it harder for us to digest them. Simply soaking overnight and discarding the soak water is enough to remove these inhibitors and turn them into a living superfood.
Sprout the buckwheat groats for a day or two and you're taking things to the next level.
Raw is about enzymes, enzymes, enzymes :-)
And it's easy!
Thanks for the great breakfast recipe.
xx Clare
I get mine in a bulk bin at my local health food store, not packaged.....still no need to rinse? I love all your videos you make going raw look so easy! Thanks
Hi amy, why not give them a quick rinse right before using? Can't hurt :)
Well, that makes it simple doesn't it. One more reason why you're awesome!

Where are the Nutrition facts, calories in the foods prepare or do you not count them in a raw diet?
I do not have the time to calculate calories etc for each recipe that I post online. In my experience, most raw foodists do not count calories nor do they restrict food intake in terms of portion sizes. However it is important to eat a balanced diet and lots of greens, as well as to ensure adequate protein intake and to supplement with B12 because you cannot get B12 on a purely raw vegan diet.

I made the Raw brownies the other night I just bought a food processor so I mill be able to make other recipe as well. But I been eating a lot of different salads seems like we have something new every day it's really been wonderful. The lemon bars and cheese cake will be the next two on my list.

Awesome Dave. Sounds like you are on a roll! You might like my ranch dressing on your salads - you will love the cheesecake. And the lemon bars are a surprise hit! I was quite shocked that so many people love them - I think it's because they are so easy :)

Thank you Laura for this recipe! I love it, especially with the buckwheat grouts!!! Very comforting breakfast. I did it few times already and I keep loving it. Today, I had no nut milk, so I added coconut milk and it was still delicious!

Nov 19, 2012
hello. I noticed you did not say to sprout the buckwheat groats to make them living before you use them in the cereal. If you don't already do this, I recommend sprouting them first and then dehydrating them to make them crispy again! They can store a long time in the cupboard once dried.

I highly recommend. I just finished a 10 day juice fast. I feel great. I wasn't hungry and it really helped me break the snacking habit. (and I lost 8 pounds). I have continued with a juice a day. Check out Jason Vale. http://www.juicemaster.com/us/ He did a world wide juice fast with daily encouraging videos in January. He is going to do that again at the beginning of April.

This looks very interesting Laura. Do you recommend a specific type of apple that works well in this recipe? I prefer crisp apples. Will they work in this recipe?
The Rawtarian
Aug 20, 2012
I also prefer crisp apples. I generally use Gala apples (my favourite) or I also like Granny Smiths.
Yes, crisp apples are best in this recipe.

Museum's credibility depends on its presentation
|Visit the Photo Place
In light of recent details on the scholars' panel discussion of Fredericksburg's new slavery museum, let me add: This museum has the potential either to be something unique or to be a vehicle for further antagonizing race relations. The issue of presentation is key.
Slavery was, and is, a terrible institution. However, the issue of the punishment side of slavery must reflect the perspective of the times and its acceptable punishment for crimes.
Many of those punishment forms, which today seem barbaric, were a unilaterally accepted means of punishing offenders--of any race. In its presentations, the slavery museum must distinguish what was the bygone era's norm, and without the bias of today's social behavior standards, must show what would be considered an atrocity during that time.
Most adults reading this will remember the sting of the belt from a parental disciplinary measure during childhood, but today such measure would warrant child abuse charges or an investigation by Social Services.
Views, attitudes, and standards for punishment have evolved tremendously, and now, in order to truly represent slavery in the most historically accurate light, the slavery museum can bolster its credibility by addressing how time affects views.
If planned and executed properly, this new museum can serve as a valuable educational tool and revered shrine of remembrance.

Problems at Broward County`s convention center complex mounted on Tuesday as the general contractor filed a notice of default against the developer, charging it is $300,000 behind in payments.
Frank J. Rooney, the general contractor, filed the notice with the county against the developer, Northport Venture Associates.
But Richard Mooney, Northport`s executive vice president, said the claim is false and that Rooney has been overpaid $270,000.
The dispute is likely to be taken up today during a meeting involving County Administrator Lex Hester, Northport executives and Dean Hofmeister, the county`s director for the convention center project.

Words by Nick Barron of www.stylebarron.com
We've all got a favourite hangover movie that helps us recover from a night we can barely remember, and for many with a fondness for fashion, the number one choice is chick flick staple, The Devil Wears Prada. Based on Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel of the same name, it is said to be inspired by the author's brief stint working for Anna Wintour at US Vogue.
Grazia Daily refuses to believe anybody reading this article hasn't seen the film, but just in case: Anne Hathaway plays aspiring journalist Andy Sachs, who unwittingly lands a job at fashion bible Runway as second assistant to its hugely demanding editor-in-chief, Miranda Priestly, played with ridiculous brilliance by Meryl Streep. Cue Priestly making Andy's life hell with her insane demands, public humiliation and inclination to throw both fur coat and 'it bag' at her every morning, much to the delight of first assistant Emily, played by a scene-stealing Emily Blunt.
Well, rejoice TDWP fans, for Weisberger has finally written a sequel, the somewhat shonkily titled Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, published in the UK on June 20. According to the author's official web site, in the book "Andy realizes that nothing – not her new husband, nor her beloved career – is as it seems," and the story will take her "directly into the path of the devil herself…"
With the original film proving a box office hit, it is almost certain that the sequel will become a movie. Whether that film is another cinema smash, or a straight to DVD flop, will depend hugely on whether the original cast can be lured back for a second strut down the Runway. But what are the chances of that..?
Meryl Streep (Miranda Priestly)
Undoubtedly the star of the first film, there can be no movie without Meryl. The reigning Queen of Hollywood has, since hanging up her Prada heels, starred opposite Alec Baldwin in It's Complicated, with Amy Adams in Julie & Julia and Doubt, and scored a hat trick with her performance as the late Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, winning an Oscar, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe for her performance. A return is not impossible, as Streep likes the fun roles as much as the meatier characters, which was surely the only reason for her turn in the pretty ropey Mamma Mia! Mind you, any actor who can survive such a car crash and still have one of the best careers in the business owes nobody any favours.
Odds of return – 6/1
Anne Hathaway (Andy Sachs)
Hathaway's star has risen steadily since TDWP, culminating in her board-sweeping awards run this year for her admittedly show-stopping turn as penniless prostitute Fantine in Les Miserables. Last year, she slipped into skin-tight leathers to play Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, and she's soon to be seen in co-star Joseph Gordon Levitt's directorial debut, Don Jon, about an internet porn addict who attempts to find a meaningful relationship with something other than his dominant hand. Still, let's not forget the dodginess of Bride Wars or the mega flop that was One Day – and there is that rumoured Oscar curse Hollywood loves to worry about (has anyone seen Sandra Bullock lately? Anyone?!) Add in the fact that Hathaway would likely get to keep her Revenge Wears Prada wardrobe and perhaps she might just clear some room in her schedule…
Odds of return – 5/1
Emily Blunt (Emily)
Since her brilliant turn as Emily, Miranda's main assistant who somewhat begrudgingly guides Andy through the minefield that is her new job, Blunt has worked steadily. She has played a monarch in Young Victoria, starred opposite Matt Damon in The Adjustment Bureau, and worked with Ewan McGregor in Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, before appearing opposite Jason Siegel in last year's The Five Year Engagement. She has, however, yet to make the leap to stellar-movie-star-in-a-massive-role and perhaps her best is yet to come. That, or her own TV show on HBO or Showtime, though perhaps she could be convinced to return by her TDWP co-star and now brother-in-law…
Odds of return – 4/1
Stanley Tucci (Nigel)
Yes, Tucci married co-star Blunt's sister Felicity last year, so they have a lot to thank their shared TDWP experience for, which perhaps might be enough to encourage a Tucci/Blunt return (or their own spin-off sitcom, which would undoubtedly be fabulous). Tucci has reunited with Streep since the film, working together on Julie & Julia, and he also popped up in, erm, Burlesque opposite Cher and Xtina. He has spent the past couple of years working on The Hunger Games and its impending sequel, Catching Fire, playing blue rinse-sporting games commentator, Caesar Flickerman. Let's hope the pensioner's hairdo doesn't encourage him to retire, as he may be one of the most likely for a Prada homecoming.
Odds of return – 2/1
Simon Baker (Christian Thompson)
Baker, who played New Yorker journalist and scarf-wearing lothario, Christian Thompson, in the film, has more or less given up on movies since TDWP's release and turned instead to television with huge success. His US series, The Mentalist, has been on air for six seasons and, outside of playing a crime-solving psychic, he is the face of Givenchy's new fragrance, Gentlemen Only. Between the fact that he clearly doesn't need the money and the notoriously gruelling schedule that comes with an American TV series, he may strangely be one of the least likely cast members to return.
Odds of return – 5/1
Adrian Grenier (Nate)
Outside of TDWP, Grenier is best known as the star of Entourage, which ran for eight seasons and is soon to spawn a movie of its very own. Still, things have been quiet for him since the show ended, so a chance to reprise his role as Hathaway's love interest, Nate, may be very welcome indeed. However, the ending of TDWP left things uncertain between Andy and Nate and publicity for Revenge Wears Prada suggests that the 'husband' Weisberger mentions creating for Sachs is not Grenier's character, but someone new. Sorry Adrian, you may be keen, but through no fault of your own, you're perhaps the least likely face we'll be seeing in the next big chick flick.
Odds of return – 25/1

News Jobless rate stagnates in July
The Czech jobless rate stagnated at 7.4 percent in July, despite analyst expectations of a slight increase. In July, the number of those unemployed was just over five hundred and forty-one thousand, up by almost 11,000 year-on-year, according to the Employment Office. Job vacancies, meanwhile, have risen over a period of several months. The coming months, could nevertheless see an increase as seasonal work wraps up. The unemployment rate had fallen steadily since January when it stood at 8.6 percent.

Former close associate Šlouf launches attack on Zeman in new book
A former close associate of President Miloš Zeman has launched an attack on the head of state in a new book. Miroslav Šlouf worked with Mr. Zeman while he was leader of the Social Democrats and is regarded as having masterminded his presidential campaign. In Jak se dobývá Hrad (How to Conquer the Castle), he says that Mr. Zeman's behaviour is increasingly determined by three negative traits: unpredictable mood swings, dogged obstinacy and practically non-existent social intelligence. The president broke off contact with Mr. Šlouf after his election in January least year.
Composer and singer Petr Hapka dies at 70
The popular Czech composer and singer Petr Hapka has died at the age of 70. Hapka co-wrote a series of hits with lyricist Michal Horáček and other collaborators for artists such as Hana Hegerová, Karel Gott, Lucie Bilá, Michal Kocáb and Jana Kirschner. His own distinctive voice appeared on solo recordings and duets, while he also composed music for a great number of films, TV series and theatre productions.
Zaorálek says Czech Republic should not tell Ukraine what direction to take, contradicting Zeman
The Czech Republic should not tell Ukraine what kind of future to choose, the former's minister of foreign affairs, Lubomír Zaorálek, said on Tuesday, hours after Czech President Milos Zeman said Ukraine should remain neutral and not join NATO. Speaking after a meeting in Prague with his Lithuanian counterpart, Linas Linkevičius, Mr. Zaorálek said Ukraine should itself decide in a sovereign manner on its future direction.
Minister: CR failed to draw on CZK 12 billion in EU subsidies last year
The Czech Republic failed to use some CZK 12 billion in available European Union subsidies in 2013, the minister of regional development, Karla Šlechtová, said on Tuesday. The figure is higher than an estimate made in the summer. Minister Šlechtová said her ministry expected the volume of EU funds not accessed this year to be up to CZK 30 billion, adding that a more accurate estimate would not be available until January.
Ministry wants investigation of alleged defamation against Kiev embassy
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is planning to ask the state attorney's office to look into alleged defamation against the Czech Embassy in Ukraine's Kiev. An internal ministry investigation found there was no truth in letters sent to the director of the Foreign Department of the Office of the President stating that employees at the embassy had pressured ethnic Czechs in Ukraine not to speak about their wish to move to the Czech Republic. Věra Doušová, who organised the repatriation of a wave of Volhynia Czechs in the early 1990s, said publicly that a number of ethnic Czechs in Ukraine had made such an accusation and handed a list of their names to President Miloš Zeman; he has expressed support for their wish to move to the Czech Republic.
Czech Republic supports two-state solution in Middle East, Sobotka tells Netanyahu in Israel
The Czech Republic supports a solution to the Middle East peace process under which the Israelis and the Palestinians would each have an independent state, the country's prime minister, Bohuslav Sobotka, said in Jerusalem on Tuesday. His Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, said he appreciated the fact that the Czech Republic, which he called a traditional ally of his country, did not support a unilateral solution. The Czech leader and several cabinet members held a joint session with Israeli ministers, at which they signed treaties on cooperation in fields such as research, defence, healthcare and culture.
Zeman in favour of neutral, "Finlandised" Ukraine
The Czech president, Miloš Zeman, says he is opposed to the idea of Ukraine joining the NATO military alliance. Speaking on Tuesday on a visit to Kazakhstan, he said Ukraine should be neutral and ought to undergo "Finlandisation", meaning it should have a position analogous to Finland during the Soviet era, when it retained its sovereignty but subordinated its policies to those of its powerful neighbour. Mr. Zeman said he agreed with Germany's foreign minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who said at the weekend that he could accept NATO cooperation with Ukraine, but not membership.
Press: UAE to open Prague embassy
The United Arab Emirates is to open an embassy in Prague, E15 reported on Tuesday. The move has already been approved by the Gulf state's president and government, the newspaper said, quoting a spokesperson for the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The mission would primarily serve to foster economic ties and would make little practical difference to UAE visitors, who have not needed a visa to enter the Czech Republic since March. It is not known when the embassy will open.
ANO's Vokřál elected mayor of Brno
Petr Vokřál of ANO has been elected mayor of the Czech Republic's second city Brno. He replaces the Social Democrats' Roman Onderka, who held the post for eight years. Mr. Vokřál's party came first in local elections last month and he stood unopposed for mayor. ANO is in coalition at Brno City Hall with Žít Brno, the Christian Democrats, and the Green Party. The Social Democrats, the Civic Democrats, the Communists and TOP 09 make up the opposition.
Czech consumers warned about Holle Baby Food product containing toxic substance
The German food safety authorities have warned consumers in the Czech Republic about a baby food product found to contain the toxic substance atropine. The respective batch of Alnatura oatmeal porridge made by Holle Baby Food is being withdrawn from the German DM drugstore market chain in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. Not all items have been accounted for and the Czech food Inspection authorities have asked consumers to check their purchases and if in doubt return the baby food to their local drugstore.

Lights, Camera, fashion. Mineola High School presented its annual Junior Prom Fashion Show at the school auditorium on Thursday, April 10. The stage was transformed into a catwalk to rival that of Fashion Week in New York City.
The event featured dazzling ladies and dashing gentleman from Mineola's Class of 2015. Forty-one models showed off prom ensembles in style. The girls displayed a selection of prom dresses from long and super glam gowns, to flirty dresses in an amazing selection of hues of soft pastels and bright colors. The guys dressed to impress in tuxedos and the look was cool and contemporary.
"The success of the Junior's Prom Fashion Show is a testament to the amazing student body at Mineola High School," class advisor Bette Sloane said. "The community came out to support their fundraising efforts and we had a fabulous fashion show in the process."
The fashion show was produced in collaboration with local businesses in preparation for prom season. Flaunting upcoming trends, the girls in strapless ball gowns to one-of-a-kind breathtaking dresses from Estelle's Dressy Dresses were escorted by junior and senior males wearing stylish tuxedos by Foresto Tuxedo.
The models didn't just simply walk the runway, various light-hearted poses were struck throughout the performance including the popular Charlie's Angels pose, and of course, the ever present ear-to-ear grin.
"Everyone had a great time, we raised over $4,000 to help fund our prom," said Class President Elizabeth Brown. "There was a lot of hard work put into it and it was great seeing our efforts pay off."
There was a brief pause in the spectacle when the class officers, Brown, Rebecca Katinas, Dom Paggi and Ryan Eccher came out onto the stage, to hand over flower bouquets to Sue Sabatini and Bette Sloane, acknowledging the contribution of the junior class advisors in organizing the event.
"The show wouldn't have been possible without [Sue] and [Bette]," said Junior Vice President Katinas. "Both of them are amazing and we can't thank them enough."
Along with rocking music and an enthusiastic crowd, there were more than a dozen raffles that were given out. Baskets ranged from seniors prom bids, to restaurant gift cards, to vouchers for a free haircut.
The show had a beneficial relationship for both the junior and senior classes. The juniors took to the stage modeling tuxedos, prom gowns and selling raffles in order to help raise money for their own prom while the seniors were able to buy those raffle tickets with the hopes of winning a ticket to their own prom this year.
"The raffles are a great way to attract people to come," said Lauren Jenkins, who won a $55 iTunes gift card. "There's nothing more exciting than sitting in the audience hoping to win."

Nebraska health officials have identified prepackaged salad mix as the source of the state's cyclospora outbreak, which has sickened 78 people since mid-June.
The investigation by the Department of Health and Human Services also shows the salad mix, which includes iceberg and romaine lettuce along with red cabbage and carrots, came through national distribution channels. Locally-grown produce is not part of this outbreak.
DHHS and local health departments are currently working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to identify exactly where the contamination came from along the food production chain and where the product was distributed.
Nebraska public health officials believe the bulk of the contaminated salad mix already worked its way through the system due to limited shelf-life.
Cyclospora is a rare parasite that causes a lengthy gastrointestinal illness. Fresh vegetables and fruit are usually associated with outbreaks. People become sick when they consume food contaminated with the parasite. Washing fruits and vegetables is always recommended but it can be difficult to wash cyclospora off all types of produce.

V-Day is a next-step philanthropy, housed in people's minds and hearts rather than one physical location. Our projects are chosen annually.
The V-Day Core consists of a small number of full- and part-time staff. A much larger number of supporters and V-Day volunteers generously give their time and lend their resources to stop the violence. Eve Ensler has never received payment from V-Day for her work as an author, performer or organizer.
