Feel sorry for the actors in Carrie remakeOctober 18, 2013 @ 11:38 am (Updated: 2:41 pm - 10/18/13 )
KIRO Radio's Morning News.
The original Carrie is considered a horror classic and of course, is directed by Brian De Palma. It got Oscar nominations for Sissy Spacek and for Piper Laurie playing her crazy mother.
This time, those parts are played by Julianne Moore, who is a wonderful actress, playing Carrie's crazy mother. Chloe Grace Moretz plays Carrie.
This film is almost a textbook lesson of why remakes are usually a very bad idea. It's laughable, it's embarrassing. It's basically a career killer.
You will rarely see such terrible, over-the-top performances. I've worked a little bit on movies and one of the things you're supposed to do as a director, and particularly as an editor (they use the term 'protect the actors') you protect them from scenes that are just transparently bad. You can see people acting.
For the director, Kimberly Peirce, she directed "Boys Don't Cry," I don't think she works after this. It's breathtakingly bad.
Julianne Moore has a difficult role. She's supposed to play a religious nut, who in many scenes, is mutilating herself and ripping her own flesh. It's not easy to do that, but it's very easy to do it in an over-the-top way.
You go to a movie like this, you feel sorry for the actors ... and the audience.

|Elton Brand, PF 33 MIN | 5-14 FG | 0-0 FT | 10 REB | 1 AST | 10 PTS | +6
Forget the double-double and the solid defense for a second. The old war horse, is…well, old. He started out the game 1-5 and finished 5-14. He showed signs of life in the 3rd Q when he scored 4 straight (6 overall) during the Sixers 15-2 run and grabbed 7 boards. But he was a no show in the 4th (2 pts.) and his horrific off balance shot at 2:23 of the 4th made me throw the remote. What happened to the 2010-11 version of EB?
|Andre Iguodala, SF 39 MIN | 7-14 FG | 2-4 FT | 5 REB | 6 AST | 18 PTS | -8
Another stat sheet stuffing night for Dre and as a bonus he threw in some sick dunks that had the WFC crowd on their feet. Additionally, his defense on KD for most of the night was outstanding. Here's my two big issues with his game last night: (1) Until the final five seconds of the game, AI9 had only one bucket (a lay-up) and did not attempt a FG in that quarter. The team's leader can not disappear in the 4th Q of a tight game and Dre did it again last night. (2) Dre should have gone to Collins in the 4th and demanded to be locked down on Durant. The Sixers got killed several times in the 4th by their usual "switch everything" policy as Holiday ended up guarding the much taller Durant. It's what team leaders like Kobe or Lebron would have done.
|Lavoy Allen, PF 19 MIN | 0-3 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 1 AST | 0 PTS | -1
Lavoy is having a nice rookie year, but last night was a disaster for him. He had a couple TOs and fumbled away a sure fire dunk in the 1st Q. Additionally he provided no presence on the glass for the Sixers.
|Jodie Meeks, G 30 MIN | 5-12 FG | 1-1 FT | 5 REB | 2 AST | 13 PTS | +13
Capt. Streaky showed both sides of his game last night. He hit some shots that he's supposed to hit, but when the Sixers really needed a bucket in the 4th, he went 0-4 and missed some absolutely critical shots. But a tip of the hat to Meeks on the defensive end as he really has improved that facet of his game.
|Jrue Holiday, PG 33 MIN | 8-15 FG | 2-2 FT | 2 REB | 2 AST | 18 PTS | -8
How hard can it be to figure out which way to guard your old college teammate? Apparently it's so difficult that you can't make the adjustment until hafltime. (But Jrue did have some simply filthy offensive moves in this game.)
|Lou Williams, PG 26 MIN | 3-11 FG | 5-5 FT | 0 REB | 6 AST | 11 PTS | -12
We love that LW handed out 6 dimes last night, but he shot us out of this game all by himself. 0-5 in the 4th to be exact. And the TO Louis had on the set play with 5 ticks remaining is a mistake an eighth grader wouldn't commit. If only he had learned to close out games like his mentor Iverson.
|Thaddeus Young, F 29 MIN | 8-15 FG | 0-0 FT | 9 REB | 1 AST | 16 PTS | -2
Mr. Consistent had a solid game and his 14 first half point were a huge lift, but he also went MIA in the 4th (1-4 on FGAs). It's pained us to write that line. His energy and defense off the bench were excellent as always last night. Collins has tried Dre and Louis as the "closer" on this team and neither has worked out. Maybe it's time to give Thad a chance in that role.
|Evan Turner, SG 16 MIN | 0-3 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 1 AST | 0 PTS | -5
ET's defense was excellent last night, but 0-3 from the field is no way to get out of the dog house. Although it's tough to get anything going offensively with only 16 minutes of burn. Turn the kid loose coach.
|Nikola Vucevic, C 13 MIN | 1-3 FG | 0-0 FT | 4 REB | 2 AST | 2 PTS | -3
So in 28 minutes vs. Houston "Big Nik" goes for 18 & 8. Since then he has played 24 minutes (most of it in mop up duty) @ DET and then 13 minutes last night. What gives coach? The rookie should be starting and playing 25 minutes a night until Hawes comes back.
After the Jump, Six Things We Saw Last Night

Portland stabbing victim expected to survive
Police in Portland are investigating a weekend stabbing in the city.
Authorities say Christopher Raymond was stabbed at about 3:30 a.m. Sunday.
Police say they were notified by Maine Medical Center that doctors had treated a stabbing victim.
Lt. Gary Hutcheson says Raymond was stabbed with a knife during an altercation with another man. His injuries are not considered to be life-threatening.
No motive was disclosed and there was no immediate word on arrests. Police are asking for the public to call them with any information about the stabbing.

Reading BBC News this evening i saw another Chief Constable under fire. This time it is an IPCC investigation into 14 serving police officers, including the CC of Gloucestershire Police. She was appointed just 7 days ago.
Its important to note that most, if not all, of the examples mentioned in this article are investigations and not convictions. The police are expected to be held to the same legal standard as everyone else, and as such they are given the same protections, including 'innocent until proven guilty'.
The important question that this raises? Why?
I think we have two possible explanations. Firstly, the move towards PCC's really has 'politicised' the police as many have argued. PCCs have only been in their positions for a few months so it is difficult to blame the individuals appointed, but one could argue that the effect of the coalition government's decision to hold these elections has changed the culture at the top of the police service. I cant remember a time where ACPO ranked officers have been so often in the news. So, could this politicisation have put our senior officers under the spot light like never before?
Accepting this argument for a minute, it would be difficult to say that this scrutiny is a bad thing. If we have police officers, of any rank, behaving improperly then the scrutiny is in the public interest. The issue then becomes that of standards. Where conduct is not criminal, how high should we set the bar for non criminal behavior...aka misconduct. How serious should that misconduct have to be for an investigation to be launched? Some would say that any misconduct should be investigated, and its difficult to disagree with that on the face of it.
To accept the argument that the introduction of PCC's has caused this, you would have to concede that this behavior didn't happen before. This is difficult to assess with the advent of increased transparency. 20 years ago the public had little idea of what happened at the top of their local force.
The second reason for this rush of IPCC investigations is funding. Could the huge budget cuts, and the review of pay and conditions for officers, cause them to change the way they view their role? I think its fair to say that a lot of police officers have felt let down by the government. I often hear officers say that they no longer view the police service as a vocation...a career for life. Some officers feel like employees. Some feel like they are making less and less of a difference.
This clearly effects the culture...but i think its a stretch to suggest that previously honest and hardworking police officers behave any differently just because the culture has changed.
So it's clear i dont think that PCC's, or funding cuts, have lead to the series of dismissals, suspensions, and investigations that we have seen over the last couple of years. Could it be that the police service is caught in a self fulfilling prophecy?
More scrutiny, leads to more pressure on officers, leads to bad decisions. It's well established that individuals under high stress make poorer decisions. So if this is the case, how can we solve it?
Less scrutiny surely isn't the way forward. The actions of the police effect peoples lives, and where things don't go to plan it's important that the lessons are learned to prevent it happening again.
So maybe the issue is the form that that scrutiny takes? "the case has been referred to the police watchdog the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC)" is something we so often read.
Could the problem be with the IPCC? or the way it operates? I literally have no clue.

What Is A Social Journalism Degree? CUNY Is Trying to Answer That Question
In the endless discussion on the value of a journalism degree, the question, "Are we teaching young journalists the right things the right ways?" always seems to surface. And as the digital revolution rolls on, creating curriculum that will be newsroom-relevant by the time students finish their degrees becomes complicated.
But the City University of New York's Graduate School of Journalism has a fresh new idea for teaching journalism in their new degree plan — an MA in Social Journalism. As media blogger and journalism professor Jeff Jarvis wrote over at Medium, the degree is based on the idea that journalism shouldn't be about providing content; it should be about providing a service. (He has been developing this concept for a while; he first introduced it on his blog BuzzMachine).
On top of CUNY's core MA in Journalism and MA in Entrepreneurial Journalism tracks, the degree plan, if approved by the university and the state of New York, would teach students how to tap into a community's heartbeat, movers and shakers and produce reporting and content based on what they learn.

As a Tarrant County prosecutor, Joshua Ross has handled countless cases involving drunk drivers.
But seven years ago, they took on a whole new perspective.
On September 26, 2006, Ross' close friend and fraternity brother was killed by a drunk driver. Todd Levin and his girlfriend, Raylynn Healy, had just left a Houston movie theater when a drunk driver slammed into their car at a busy intersection. Levin died at the scene. Healy died later at an area hospital.
"They were t-boned by a drunk driver that ran a red light," said Ross who attended the University of Texas at Austin with Levin.
Suddenly, Ross – who had prosecuted many DWI, intoxication assault and intoxication manslaughter cases over the years – knew first-hand the devastation caused by drunk driving. He could personally identify with victims who had lost loved ones in DWI crashes.
"It changed my approach to those cases," he said.
Shortly after Ross' friend was killed, Deputy Chief District Attorney Richard Alpert asked Ross if he would consider giving a presentation at MADD's Victim Assistance Training Institute (VATI) in Las Colinas. VATIs are week-long schools for MADD volunteers who want to become victim advocates. Since the early 1990s, MADD has invited Tarrant County prosecutors to give presentations about the handling of DWI and intoxication manslaughter cases.
"I was not aware of Josh's friend," Alpert said. "I asked him to do it because I liked and respected him and I perceived that he had a commitment to this issue."
It proved to be a perfect fit. For the past seven years, Ross has spoken at numerous VATIs. Not only does he educate participants about the law and the prosecution of intoxication manslaughter cases, but he talks about Levin and the drunk driver who killed him. Recently, Ross wrote a letter to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice opposing the parole of My Nguyen, who is serving a 10-year prison sentence for Levin and Healy's death.
"I've seen the devastation this crime causes to the families of the victims in both my work and my personal life," Ross said.
Several years ago, Ross said he was taken aback when he looked out into the audience during a presentation and saw Levin's older brother, who was training to become a victim advocate for MADD.
"It was bittersweet," Ross said. "It was a surreal experience to see Todd's older brother sitting there."
Ross said he was honored to know Todd Levin and says he's a better man for it. He believes MADD's education campaigns can make a difference, which is why he continues to be part of them.
"At the end of the day if you feel like the world is a better place, then it makes what you are doing worth it," he said. "That is how I approach it. Todd, his family, friends, and everyone else that was affected by his life is the reason that I'm doing this."

CALL TO ORDER – approximately
Mr. Edmund Gleason, Mr.= Doug Viger, Mr. William McDevitt, Mr. Robert Haverty, Town Administrator Tom Gaydos
Mr. Hal Lynde
Announcement: Congressman Charles Bass Office Hours –
To approve the
(3-0-1) The motion carried. Mr. Hav= erty abstained.
To approve the
(4-0-0) The motion carried.
Mr. Mike Sherman,
Mr. Paul McDonough,
PUBLIC HEARING: Disposition of Old Fire Station= b>
Mr. McDevitt said the Sel= ectmen had a number of discussions regarding the disposition of the old fire station. He said the last tim= e they met there was some sentiment to accept public input, if there was any public input to be had.
Mr. Gleason indicated he =
correspondence from Greg Farris, which he read into the record. In summary, Mr. Farris suggested p=
using the old fire station for storage of Parks and Recreation equipment in=
event the School requests the usage of the classrooms within the
There was no public input= .
Mr. Viger reiterated what= he spoke about at the last meeting regarding the fire station. He said when he was pushing for th= e new fire station his position was that the existing fire station had no useful life, whether it be for storage of equipment, or people etc. It was his opi= nion that they should allow the federal funds being used for the roundabouts to = take out as much of it as possible.
Mr. Gleason had seen correspondence indicating that the Congregational Church may not be interes= ted in parking spaces; therefore the entire resource could be committed to green space. Mr. Gaydos said that c= omment was made by Phil Currier, who would further discuss the parking spaces with members of the church. He sai= d it was Mr. Currier's opinion that parking there may be difficult for peo= ple to navigate through the roundabout area to get to the church; he thought th= ey had ample parking at the church. Mr. Gaydos said reference was made to the fact that prior to the old fire stati= on being built, the area had been all green space and it might be nice to see = it return. Mr. Gleason felt time= was of the essence because they were slated to meet with the DOT April 18t= h. He felt the Selectmen needed to pr= ovide the DOT with a decision rapidly.
Mr. Haverty wanted to be = clear that the design of the roundabout area was locked whether or not the fire station was taken down; removing it would have no impact in the design of t= he roundabout. He discussed the suggestion for using the old station and had concern with it being another building for the Town to maintain. <= /span>He felt the building was in a drastic state of disrepair and the more responsi= ble thing would be to take the building down.&= nbsp; He didn't see it as having any useful life and felt taking it = down was the more fiscally responsible thing.&n= bsp;
Mr. Gleason asked if ther= e were adequate Town facilities to store the recreation equipment. Mr. Gaydos answered yes.
Mr. McDevitt commented th=
at there
had been informal discussions with the School Board for a couple years
regarding the use of the (unfinished) classrooms in the
Parks & Recreation Di= rector Brian Johnson, who was seated in the audience, was invited to speak regardi= ng storage, although he wasn't prepared to speak on the topic. Mr. McDevitt asked him what the department was currently doing for storage and what their needs would be in= the future. Mr. Johnson said he w= as unaware of the structural shape of the fire station, but would love to have= the building. He said the departm= ent currently didn't have a lot of storage space and kept certain equipme= nt outside throughout the year. = He noted that the fire station building was currently the hot water source for= the ice rink. He said if he were = asked if he wanted the fire station the answer would be absolutely.
Mr. McDevitt noted that t= he space where the fire station currently stood was vacant from 1907 to 1972; in 1907 the old Town Hall had burned down and the area was green space. He said the Planning Board had a z= oning sub-committee who was seriously entertaining proposing a change in March, 2= 013 that would change the center's zoning into something similar to a mix= ed use. He said if that was the = case, the presence of a Town storage facility in the middle of it all would only = drag it down and not increase property values.&= nbsp;
Mr. Gleason wanted to kno= w if the building were considered for a potential storage facility, would it necessi= tate putting a new septic system in. Mr. Gaydos said if the building had water, it would need sewer. It occurred to him that they would= have to find a new water source for the ice rink because he couldn't imagi= ne putting a new septic system into a building that was loaded with mold and h= ad major problems with a leaky roof. = span>
Mr. Haverty stated that h= is intention with having a new fire station was not to add a building to the repository of buildings that the Town maintained. He said there would have to be some degree of maintenance the building would require, and didn't feel that was the deal made with the voters. &n= bsp;
To move forward with the State of
(4-0-0) The motion carried.
Mr. Gleason wanted it on = record if the SAU (split) went forward that the Town find adequate space for the P= ark & Recreation equipment. M= r. Gaydos noted it wasn't only Park & Recreation storage, the old Assessing, tax records, planning records, Town records, computer work etc. = were being stored.
Brian Johnson, Parks & Recreation Director – Expenditu= res from Trust Funds:
-&nb= sp; $785.50 fr= om Raymond Park Trust Fund for Practice Field Parking Lot
-&nb= sp; $1,150.00 = from Raymond Park Trust Fund for Lodge Repairs
-&nb= sp; $195.00 fr= om Veteran's Memorial Park Fund for trench along roadway at PVMP
Park & Recreation Dir= ector Brian Johnson came forward and discussed the expenditure requests. Being the Trust Funds liaison for = the Selectmen, Mr. Gleason commented regarding the monies contained within the funds. With regard to the Ray= mond Park Trust Fund, he noted as long as the invoices fell within the maintenan= ce of the facility, they would fall within the intent of the trust fund. With regard to Veteran's Par= k, there were adequate funds to cover the request.&= nbsp; He said if the Selectmen approve the expenditures, the Trustees of t= he Trust Funds should honor the requests.&nbs= p;
(Gleason/Viger) The Board of Selectmen approve the invoices for $195. 00 against the Veteran's Memorial Park Fund as part of the maintenance and upkeep; $1,150.00 against the Raymond Park Public Trust Fund which constitutes maintenance and upkeep; $785.50 for the Raymond Park Trust Fund which is = part of the maintenance and upkeep.
(4-0-0) The motion carried.
Attorney David Groff and = Ms. Sally-Ann Major came forward discuss a proposed dog park. Information was provided to the Selectmen for a proposed dog park that included a diagram, map of the park = and color photos. The idea was to create a fenced-in (6ft. in height/chain link) dog park at Raymond Park approximately 125ft.x75ft. The fence bid was received at $11,000; which would be raised through donations,= no Town money would be requested. The increase to insurance would be approximately $100; mainly due to the fence. Attorney Groff comment= ed with utilization of the park there would probably be less vandalism. He said they were seeking the Selectmen's blessing for pursuing funding, getting the fence construc= ted, allowing a donation to be made to the Town and establishing rules for use of the park.
Mr. Gleason saw that the = proposal requested the Town plow the road to the fenced in area and have trash picked up. Park & Recreation Dir= ector Brian Johnson (who was seated in the public) commented that they currently didn't have the road plowed because they didn't use the field in the winter; it was heavily used in the Spring through Fall mainly in the evening hours and some weekend use. He believed they would need additional barrels at the dog park becau= se the barrels that were at the park would be removed once the sports season ended. Mr. Gleason asked if t= he dog park would be seasonal or year-round. Attorney Groff believed they would like to use it year-round. Mr. Gleason asked if the Highway A= gent had commented. Mr. Gaydos sai= d the road would have to be brought up to standard in order to plow it.
Mr. Gaydos discussed the insurance and liability. He s= aid some work would need to be done on the road and the appearance would need t= o be maintained (such as keeping the trash picked up).
Mr. Haverty saw there were
pictures of a dog park contained in the information pack and questioned whe=
that park was located. Ms. Ma=
said the park was located in
Mr. Viger asked if the pr= oposed area was currently in the location where Boy Scouts held their camporees and hike-a-thons etc. Mr. Johnson= said the Boy Scouts camped on the Parade Field.= Mr. Viger asked if there were any deed restrictions on the property = for the proposed use.
Mr. McDevitt said he hear=
d of dog
parks in urban areas and questioned if there was a need for one. He said it was an isolated area and
wasn't sure who would use it.
Ms. Major believed if the people in Town knew the park was there, th=
would use it. She discussed t=
he use
of the dog park in
Mr. Gleason asked who wou= ld assume responsibility for maintaining the field and making sure that there wasn't a lot of vandalism. Ms. Major said most communities had a group of people that provided oversight to the parks. She s= aid the intent would be to do the same in Pelham. Mr. Gleason asked if Mr. Johnson h= ad any consideration for the Selectmen. Mr. Johnson felt the dog park was a wonderful idea; he told the Selectmen in his experience, the responsibility would eventually fall to Pa= rk & Recreation. He said to = think that the park would be free was not the case; the road would need to be plo= wed, holes would need to be filled and trash would need to be picked up.
Mr. Gaydos asked if consi=
was given to
Mr. Gleason recommended d= eferring the item until such time as the deed restrictions could be researched. Mr. McDevitt said the park was mad= e up of various pieces along with similar deed restrictions. He believed the portion being disc= ussed was the Gage portion (oldest portion) of the park that may have some restrictions that would need to be researched. Mr. Haverty wanted input on the co= st for maintaining the area.
The Selectmen would resea= rch answers to the questions and discuss the topic at the next meeting in two weeks.
Ms. Major asked if there = were any ordinances regarding signage to be placed on the fence that would name their donors. The land restrictions= would be researched.
Planning for Joint School Board, Budget Committee & Board of Selectmen Meeting
Mr. McDevitt urged the Se= lectmen if they had topic for the meeting to contact him. He said there was no firm date yet= , but anticipated it to be during the second week of April.

Review of Old Warrant Articles, Capital Reserves & Trust Fun= ds
At the recommendation of = the auditors, Mr. Gaydos reviewed with the Selectmen a list of warrant articles= and determined which of them could be closed with the balance transferred into = the general fund with contribution to the fund balance.
Mr. Gaydos said the audit= or identified the 2006 Police and Fire matching grant as something that should last five years unless there was authorization to put money in. He said the Town had the FEMA fund= and both the Police and Fire departments said it was more of an appropriate pla= ce to use funds and suggested turning the grant money fund back. He said another reason was the fun= d had turned into a revolving account and shouldn't be used as such. He commented that the warrant arti= cle had not been used properly and should be closed and turned back to the gene= ral fund.
(Gleason/Haverty) To move the money $12,241.66 (2006 Police and Fire matching grant) back i= nto the general fund.
(4-0-0) The motion carried.
The Selectmen continued t=
review. Mr. Gaydos discussed =
Mr. Viger was inclined to= move the money into the capital reserve fund.&n= bsp; He felt it would be better served to offset future expense rather th= an loosening up money for tax. M= r. Haverty concurred with Mr. Viger. Mr. Gleason stated that they were facing a significant problem with a tax rate = that was going to be significant and felt they should put as much money into the fund balance as possible. He = said the capital reserve contained approximately $81,000, which was more than adequate. There was further discussion how to proceed. = p>
(Gleason/Viger) To move $40,977.69 out of the Municipal Building Loan Proceeds into the General Fund.
(4-0-0) The motion carried.
Mr. Gleason reviewed the =
Funds and Capital Reserves. He
requested that the trust fund for Pandemic $1,183 be closed. Mr. Gaydos believed to spend the m=
or close the accounts it would require a Town vote. Mr. Gleason noted that the
Mr. Gaydos said he discus= sed the Perpetual Care money with Mr. Gleason.&nbs= p; He said he would research to see if the Town could legally recoup fr= om the fund. There were no objec= tions to Mr. Gaydos conducting research; he will coordinate with the Cemetery Trustees. Mr. Gleason discuss= ed the issues with perpetual care in that every grave site purchased with money pl= aced into perpetual care was considered an individual trust fund and any profit = or money expended could only be spent on that specific site. He said the Department of Justice = was very specific that perpetual fund monies couldn't be used for general maintenance.
Sherburne Hall Usage Fees

Setting up e-mail:
General Mail settings (for setting up any e-mail client)
Our mail server has the ability to support another type of e-mail connection called IMAP. There are several differences between IMAP and POP3 e-mail access, but the primary one is where the main copy of the e-mail is stored. With POP3 your computer will download the e-mail from our server and store it on your machine, deleting the e-mail from our server once it is downloaded. IMAP on the other hand connects and downloads only the headers (Something like the first page) and leaves the contents of e-mail on the server unless the e-mails are actually deleted. POP3 was primarily designed for use by individuals who want to use e-mail, and IMAP was primarily designed for use in company type environments where all e-mail needs to be stored in a central place for ease of access if the user changes offices or computers, and so it is more easily backed up.
The problem customers run into when using our service with IMAP e-mail is that we provide only a limited amount of space to save e-mail on our server, and especially when people start sending large (or large numbers of) photos, audio, or video clips around by e-mail that space fills up very quickly. This occasionally leads to problems where a customer is unable to receive important e-mail because someone has sent them a few very large e-mails which has filled up the e-mail box even though it appears they 'don't have much e-mail'.
Like IMAP, the Fayetteville Public Utilities web e-mail system is based directly on our server, and does not download the e-mail to a local spot on your computer. While many customers use it as their primary means of accessing their e-mail, similar problems to IMAP e-mail can manifest; due to limited amounts of server storage space, a customer may not be able to receive any e-mail if their account fills up, especially with large pictures, audio and video files.

Changing the World, One Blog at a Time
| January 29, 2009
The author, WMC's media manager, understood the potential of networking. But the true power of the web for advocacy hit home when an injustice threatened her family. Here she describes how anyone can use the process.
|How To Create Your Own Online Campaign Media attention, for its own sake, won't solve a problem. But if you can engage people, they'll want to know what they can do about it. So give them an action item! Determine Your Goal. Ex: Shame Chili's into giving my sister her job back. Decide on a strategy. Ex: Launch an email campaign, targeting Brinker executives. Engage People. Ex: Write an article about my sister's case, try to get it posted, including a link to the email campaign. Spread the word. Ex: Email everyone I know. Post to my Facebook, blog, and relevant listservs. Ask friends to do the same. Get your friends, family, and community onboard, but you'll need more than your immediate circle. When you ask them to join the campaign, ask them to help spread the word about your efforts. If just ten people sent your piece to ten people, you've already got over a hundred people in your camp. NOTE: There are many detailed resources for how to create your own campaign. Try googling "media advocacy toolkit" and you'll have a ton of great information at your fingertips. To Learn More about Women, Media, and Technology, attend: Feminism 2.0 Conference February 2, Washington, DC Women, Action, & the Media (WAM!) Conference March 27-29, Cambridge, MA (On March 27, the WMC will be offering a 3-hour on-camera media training course.)
With the inauguration of the first president to understand how to use "new media," and with two upcoming conferences that focus on women, technology, and media—Fem2.0 and WAM! –it is clear that we are no longer a society of media consumers. Whatever our job title, we are all participants and creators, using the media as a tool, interacting as communities and often demanding social change.
In December, my sister Rachel was fired and her health benefits revoked after she had filed a sexual harassment claim against her employer, Chili's Restaurant, owned by Brinker International. I helped her in the only way I knew how—by writing an article about the situation, and launching an email campaign to Brinker's top executives demanding that they take sexual harassment seriously. I sent the piece to an editor at the Huffington Post, and the editor published it almost immediately. Although I'd never written for the Huffington Post before, I knew that their readership would appreciate and react to the article. I then circulated the piece to my friends, family, and coworkers, who in turn forwarded it to their contacts. People posted it on Facebook, local residents threatened a boycott of the offending store, and in less than four hours after the article was published, Brinker International had commented directly on the Huffington Post website and contacted my sister's lawyer to reinstate her, claiming that there had been an error.
What a triumph! My experience as the media manager at the Women's Media Center has informed my understanding of the industry and given me opportunities to create and participate in advocacy campaigns, but my stake in this situation was incredibly personal. Ultimately more than 300 emails were sent to Brinker executives and more than 100 comments were posted on the piece itself, not to mention in dozens of blogs around the country, including Feministing, About.com, BlogHer, Heartfeldt Politics, and Viva la Feminista. The outpouring of support for me and my sister not only moved us (and humbled Brinker), it illustrated the way that media can work: that despite an increasing consolidation in the ownership of mainstream media, more and more outlets crop up for us to express ourselves, try to galvanize opinion and influence civic discourse.
I also realized from the comments that while those responding to our story recognize the power of the new media, many still believe you need some special status in order to use it effectively. They commented on how "lucky" Rachel was to have a sister who worked in the media, and many asked me personally for advice and assistance. They didn't know how to begin to use the web to address issues in their own lives and communities, and, as with my sister, many are all the more vulnerable to injustice given the state of the economy.
It's true that getting my story posted on the Huff jump-started my particular campaign—we couldn't have gotten a response within four hours without the large readership we were able to access—but the essential power of telling a story on the web that then can travel through a myriad of networks doesn't need such a sendoff. To demystify the process, I've tried to codify the steps I went through. (See the sidebar, "How To Create Your Own Online Campaign").
Last week, the WMC hosted a group of college students for an afternoon, courtesy of Soapbox's "Winter Term" feminist program that takes students on a tour of women's health and social justice organizations. This was a group enthusiastic about everything media—journalism, film, reality TV, social networking—and they want to make change. I was able to share my success story with them and ask them what efforts they were making to get media attention for their issues. Just asking the question got their creative juices flowing, and reminds us that we are active participants in the media conversations happening every day.
How are you going to change the world today?

AirTalk for January 6, 2011
Blue Shield of California hikes rates up to 59%
KBS/AFP/Getty Images
A ring of US twenty dollar bills with a bottle of prescription drugs and a stethoscope.
Individual health policyholders with Blue Shield of California got some sobering news this morning. Looks like their rates might be going up by a whopping 59%. The company cites higher medical costs and expenses related to the healthcare overhaul as reasons for the increases. It was less than a year ago that Anthem Blue Cross sparked national outrage by trying to raise its rates by over 30%. Ultimately, they were forced to accept a 20% increase. Will Blue Shield be able to justify this round of rate hikes? Why do premiums keep going up? What impact is the healthcare bill having?

Sew sorry. I fully realize that blog title is lame-o. Sew what? Sew sue me. I can't stop.
My friend Danielle and I pulled out our sewing machines this afternoon and had a big ol' time making ourselves some tote bags. And when I say "pulled out our sewing machines," I'm speaking quite literally - Danielle received her machine for a Christmas gift and had yet to pull it out of the box until today.
It was the blind leading the blind as we tried to figure out her machine. Moments of hilarity ensued.
Safe to say neither of us has a future career as a seamstress. Unless there is some bride out there who wouldn't mind her wedding dress having crooked seams and being significantly shorter on one side.
Here is the free pattern we used for our little project. A tote bag made from placemats!
Since we didn't want to pay more to make a tote bag than it would cost just to buy one, we bought our "materials" (placemats!) at Dollar Tree for the low, low price of $1 each.
Here is my creation. Placemats transformed. Ta-da!
First the front side with the handy pocket:
...and the back side, that was also supposed to have a pocket, but doesn't because I underestimated how much fabric I would need:
It frustrates me to see pictures of bags or totes online, and not be able to tell how big they are. So here are a couple shots that will let you better judge the size of the finished project.
Next to a full-sized backpack:
And held by a full-sized three year old:
Sew whatcha think? I'm sorry. I told you I couldn't stop.
"sew" impressive! Love it.
Hey, I wouldn't even know where to begin if you let me at a sewing machine. I'm SEW seriously impressed.
I, too, am SEW totally impressed. I don't even OWN a sewing machine! That bag is way cute...you should make more for Christmas presents! And Lauryn is beautiful...so grown up!
I just skimmed the pattern instructions and it was like reading a foreign language to me, which of course, makes me even more impressed by your sewing abilities!!
Sew, when do you start taking orders? I would love to be your first customer.........
Sew cute!!
I love them.
....However, this is not enough proof that you can sew to let you sew my wedding dress! Ha ha
Great job! I'm always "sew" (everyone else did it) impressed, and quite jealous, when I see such beautiful creations. I desperately need to learn this skill!
Very cute! I love the placemat idea for cheap fabric...I always hate it when I spend more money creating something on my own than if I would have just bought it pre-made in the first place! :-) Love the blog too!

Ever wonder why brightly colored eggs and bunnies come with the Christian celebration of Jesus' gruesome death and resurrection? It's because Christianity co-opted Easter from the Pagans. These holiday traditions are remnants of Eostre.
In present times, every Easter morning, millions head out to church to celebrate Easter in commemoration of the resurrection of Christ. The traditional celebration consists of the priests turning their congregation to the EAST to watch the sun rise, a co-opted symbol of Jesus (god's SON-SUN) rising from the dead.
(*Fun fact, December 25th–what Christians now call Christmas–was originally a celebration of the sun's stopped movement at the lowest point in the sky, near the constellation of the southern crux, for 3 days. On December 25th, the sun moves up again–rises–from its lowest point on the crux. Translated: the sun died on the cross for three days and was resurrected. The more you know…)
The Christian Easter is laced with the original Pagan celebration of fertility. Gods associated with the celebration were the goddess Eostre, who represented new life, the goddess Cybele, who represented fertility, as well as the god Attis, the god of ever-reviving vegetation. Eostre, or "festival of the spring", started as an earth-oriented celebration of the vernal equinox, when the sun grants equal light and darkness. Eostre celebrated the sun that had risen and would now give new life. Festivities centered around all that blossoms and prospers with the return of the sun–a show of gratitude and respect to fertility and life.
Rabbits were used as a symbol of fertility as they are one of the most rapidly pro-creating (translated: hella sexing) animals. Brightly colored eggs, a symbol of new life, were decorated like the rays of the sun and the northern lights for the gods. The eggs were then nestled amongst the various graves of the deceased.
This was surprising information for me when I began investigating the Christian tradition more deeply as a teenager.
One of my gripes with Christianity is that it swallows up sooo many Pagan holidays and replaces all worship of the "sun" – the original god of humans – with "son of god", aka Jesus. Christian sects erase the rich history and origins of past celebrations of the earth with arrogant co-optation after arrogant co-optation. Valentines Day, Christmas, Easter…the list of stolen holidays is a long one. The holiday was officially dubbed "Christian" when the First Council of Nicaea, the group of bishops in AD 300 who are responsible for deciding what "Christianity" would be, decided that the 1st Sunday after the full moon, right in time for the Pagans' Eostre celebration, would be called "Easter". Pretty funny given that Ezekiel claims:
"The Almighty God said He hated this imagery and idolatry, and called all such ceremonies of the pagans great abominations!"
Lol. Oh, Christianity.
Happy Eostre everyone! ;D

Aww, that's sweet: Playboy babe Holly Madison is debuting a line of edible candy necklaces for the Las Vegas candy store, The Sugar Factory. Random, no? It only kinda-sorta makes sense when you consider she lives out in Vegas, performing in the striptease "Peepshow" and filming her soon-to-be-aired reality show, "Holly's World." An edible candy necklace is just about the last product we'd expect one of Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriends to endorse. And yet it just may be the only product we'd be willing to put in our mouth.

Old Hardyeans have raised 11,750 pounds in memory of their late Chairman Colin Lucas, who passed away in August. Speaking at the Annual Reunion Dinner, new Chairman Godfrey Lancashire announced the money would be used in four different ways. He recalled that Colin played the tuba in the Durnovaria Silver Band and coincidentally, the Thomas Hardye School orchestra was in need of just such an instrument. A new tuba had been purchased and engraved with Colin Lucas' name. To the applause of Old Hardyeans, Colin's widow Brenda presented the silver instrument to Head Teacher Michael Foley. "I know Colin would have been very pleased," Brenda told members.
A wooden memorial plaque will be installed within the Thomas Hardye School and the new Colin Lucas Cup will be presented to the winner of the annual cricket match between the Old Hardyeans and the school XI. The residue of the Colin Lucas Memorial Fund, around 9,000 pounds, will enable the Hardyeans Club Charitable Trust to institute a bursary in his name, to benefit needy students.
Around 70 Old Hardyeans and their wives attended the Annual Reunion Dinner at the Thomas Hardye School and were welcomed by President Peter Foster, who outlined the long history of the original Hardye's School in South Street, endowed by Thomas Hardye of Frampton in 1569. He was no relation to the writer Thomas Hardy, nor of Captain Masterman Hardy, explained the President, but Thomas Hardy OM had laid the foundation stone of the new Hardye's School at Culliford Road in 1927. Peter Foster congratulated the modern Thomas Hardye School on attaining academy status.
Head Teacher Michael Foley spoke of increasing co-operation between the school and the Old Hardyeans. He did not agree with the modern idea of recreating Grammar Schools- which Hardye's had been- "we take pupils from all kinds of backgrounds."
Guest speaker Garry Batt, Chairman of the Governors of Thomas Hardye School, wanted the Governors to become closer to the Old Hardyeans. "Thomas Hardye School is in good heart, Governors are very focused and very active," he told the Annual Reunion Dinner. "We want to build a new performing arts centre- but we need a lot more money." Mr. Batt then spoke about his varied life as an auctioneer at Dukes and some of the unusual pieces which had passed through his hands to sell.
Chairman Godfrey Lancashire announced that the Annual Reunion Dinner would be held at the King's Arms Hotel in Dorchester from next year, on Saturday 21 March 2015. It would mark the 110th. anniversary of the founding of the Old Grammarians in 1905 and feature the first female guest speaker in 110 years- the Rev. Vicky Thurtell, Vicar of St. Peter's Church.
Before dinner, in a new format, Old Hardyeans Chairman Godfrey Lancashire and the Secretary of the Hardyeans Club Charitable Trust, Captain John Pearson RN, summarised the year's activities of their respective clubs. The formal annual general meeting has been abolished. The raffle raised 220 pounds, thanks to the hard work of Helen and Bob Rench. Godfrey Lancashire was the Master of Ceremonies. Among the guests were 12 sixth formers from the modern school.

How to be a sniper in 10 mins
This device seems to be initially geared toward the public for game hunting. I'm a little concerned there doesn't seem to be a restriction on who this gets sold to.

The Obama administration formally indicted members of the Chinese PLA for the crime of cyberspying. No no, stop the snickering, I'm not joking. Ok, at least not intentionally. Their reason seems to be that Chinese style spying is wrong and the US's style of spying isn't because MORALS.
Lest anyone forget, the NSA created backdoors into Chinese telecom giant Huawei's networks… among a few other things. Like recording every cellphone conversation in the Bahamas. Because we all know that the Bahamas was the center of major terrorist activity. Oh wait, that's Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen? Well, then at least we know they're the home nation of all those 9/11 bombers. No, that was Saudi Arabia wasn't it. Well, at least they're a major communist power like China. No? Mini communist nobody like Cuba. No? Unfriendly dictatorship. WMD? Nope. Hmm, no they're a stable relatively friendly (at least up until now) democracy. They aren't the US. Aha! That's why we're spying on them and recording all that information that is probably impossible to sort through to find anything of value in a timely manner. It all makes sense now.
I have no love for how the Chinese handle their cyberspying and even less for how they maintain the Great Firewall, but the US simply has no moral standing on which they can be taken seriously when making accusations about cyberspying. Add to that the fact that Israel routinely and vigorously spies on the US in much the same way that they accuse China of doing and is mostly ignored, and we see that US posturing is really laughable. Everyone spies. Spies use vaccinations as a cover for spying and accomplish things like find Osama bin Laden. It was a great idea and it has since caused Pakistanis to stop getting their kids vaccinated. Said kids then go on to die from preventable diseases. No ones hands are clean, and in this kind of business, they shouldn't be if they want to be effective.
For all the students out there contemplating taking on significant debt for a college education, you may want to consider how it'll impact your future accumulation of wealth. In short, it hurts. A lot.
About four-in-ten U.S. households (37%) headed by an adult younger than 40 currently have some student debt—the highest share on record, with the median outstanding student debt load standing at about $13,ooo.
For those with college debt, the average accumulated wealth is $8700, while those without is $64700 even though the two groups have the same income and same rate of homeowner's debt. That's a rather significant difference that could affect a household's financial decisions for decades on down the line.
If you're Chinese, the question of whether your ancestors farmed wheat or rice may affect your current day cultural habits of being interdependent or independent. A study of Chinese groups in southern China where rice farming was prevalent vice northern China where wheat farming was prevalent showed that the rice farmers were more likely to have views that indicated they were culturally interdependent.
So was Malcolm Gladwell right? No, I still think he's full of shit on his rice theory of math. Southeast Asians and Madagascans have farmed wet rice for hundreds if not thousands of years, and how many famous mathematicians have come out of those areas?
Going back and looking at the IQ breakdown of China by province, there doesn't seem to be any stark differences in IQ by latitude, so this seems not to affect ability.
If this result holds, and it may not, then a gene has been discovered to account for 6 points of IQ no matter a person's age. This bests the previous record holder of half a percent by a significant amount. Previously I had reported a similar news item for an IQ gene related to myopia and apparently that result did not hold up, so don't hold your breath.
But if it does hold up, and the gene is not perfectly equally present in all human races, then there will be definitive proof that races differ in heritable intelligence.
I wish I had more energy to analyse and comment, but I'm just going to link these stories because I found them interesting.

We all had fun talking to each other yesterday about Jon Gosselin (a human man who used to live in front of television cameras) and his recently acquired vasectomy. "How weird," we though, "that we are even reading the name Jon Gosselin. I'm glad we're doing it, because it's entertaining in the moment and we're having a really great time, but I'm glad that it is an anomaly and that tomorrow our lives will be back to what we've come to expect. It is 2014." But then today we open our computers and there is a new interview from television THIS MORNING that features Kate Gosselin and her two teenage daughters?!? Which in itself would not be particularly noteworthy, but is noteworthy because of how the daughters, brought on television to defend their parents and the crippling way in which they were and continue to be raised, refuse to answer questions posed directly to them? And you can FEEL Kate's growing desperation, both for her daughters to say the lines that they practiced and for the television cameras to be in front of her face again, and anger?! IN 2014?!?! Holy moly. Sometimes you wake up and you don't know where you are, but usually that's because you're in a hotel room or on a friend's couch. I don't know WHAT this is.
Love how the only time they smile and seem animated is when the idea of another television series is mentioned. Seems like they grew up fine after all? Let's not rethink anything that we're doing, everything is perfect! (Via BuzzFeed.)

When I was at the Celtics game last night the jumbrotron cameras focused for half a second on a lady wearing a Jurassic Park shirt. I don't know how many people noticed, but I noticed and I admired her.
Once I was at Target considering purchasing a Jurassic Park tshirt when I realized I was currently wearing a Jurassic Park sweatshirt so I laughed hysterically and decided not to purchase it. This was like two weeks ago.

I love my mom because the first thing she says to me when I get nervous on television is, "Spit it out."
I'm forever flummoxed by how having twins didn't dissuade Jon and Kate from having even more children, let alone multiples.

Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and DonorsChoose.org this week announced that the 2013 Fuel Your School program generated $1 million in Orange County, benefitting 1,051 local public school classroom projects, including nearly 600 resources to help support science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curriculum, and impacting 124,262 students.
Through Chevron's Fuel Your School program, teachers at more than 300 Orange County public schools received valuable classroom resources.
"We know that California schools are facing some tough economic times, and now more than ever, public and private collaborations are critical to the success of our students' future, said Hector Infante, policy, government and public affairs manager for Chevron in Orange County. "The Fuel Your School program exemplifies Chevron's commitment to supporting teachers, students and schools by helping them receive the resources and tools they need in their classrooms."
Fuel Your School is a part of Chevron Corp.'s effort to invest in tomorrow's workforce by educating students, supporting teacher training, providing classroom resources, supporting educational standards, funding out-of-school activities and preparing workers to excel in their jobs, including possible engineering positions at Chevron, Infante added.
Fuel Your School is an innovative collaboration between Chevron and DonorsChoose.org, an online organization dedicated to helping students in need. The program was driven by the lack of adequate public school funding, which has left some teachers without basic supplies to help students complete their classroom assignments.
Through the Fuel Your School program, Chevron contributed $1 when consumers purchased 8 or more gallons of fuel during October at participating Chevron and Texaco stations in Orange County. This generated $1 million to help fund eligible classroom projects at local public schools.
Since its inception in 2010, Fuel Your School has helped fund more than 17,000 classroom projects at more than 3,000 schools across the U.S. The program has grown each year to support students in various communities where Chevron has business operations.

The Playhouse's Spink on KCPQ

Cornish Playhouse Manager Liisa Spink was interviewed on KCPQ about the college's partnership with The Cabiri and the student pre-professional opportunities it offers.
On Tuesday, June 2, KCPQ's "Morning News" visited the Cornish Playhouse at Seattle Center to do a spot on the opening of Tewaz, a new performance by up-and-coming "cirque" company The Cabiri. "Cirque," popularized by Canada's Cirque du Soleil, is becoming its own genre of performance art featuring circus techniques, acrobatics, dance, and theater. Front and center for the third segment of the live broadcast was Cornish's own Liisa Spink, manager of the Playhouse. Interviewed by KCPQ reporter Kaci Aitchison, Spink talked about the three-year partnership between Cornish and The Cabiri which is providing a venue for the company and invaluable training for the college's students.
"They're using our students behind the scenes as well as on stage," says Spink of The Cabiri in the interview. "We have one of our theater students actually as part of the performance. And our performance production students are behind the stage doing things like aerial rigging and installing sound grids and these really, really technical things specific to cirque that they otherwise might not get a chance to do. So it's a fantastic collaboration, having [The Cabiri] in the Cornish Playhouse."
Tewaz is the first part of a trilogy and the first part of a relationship between The Cabiri and Cornish. "We're partnering with them over three years," continues Spink. "The goal is, this is the first year and we have two more years coming up, where students will get more and more integrated into the piece as we sort of collaborate further together."
The performance production (PP) students are "shadowing" the union staff at the Playhouse, members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), gaining invaluable pre-professional experience. The students include Shelby Choo (PP '16) and Em Russell (PP '16), both with a technical directing focus, and Levi Plumb (PP '17) with a lighting focus.
The very busy Liisa Spink oversees a loaded schedule at the Cornish Playhouse. There are Cornish productions, of course, but in service to the community, the Playhouse plays hosts to many outside companies — such as The Cabiri — and resident companies Intiman Theatre Festival and the Seattle Shakespeare Company.
The Cabiri writes of their new production "Tewaz is an epic adventure that crosses 8,000 years of folktales from Anatolia, through the Levant (present day eastern Mediterranean) and into North Africa.
"In Tewaz the angelic Watchers return to make contact with the people of Huyukan (the pre-literate lost society of the Anatolian Plateau). It touches upon the celestial images of the collective unconscious and is appropriate for children ages 6 and up."
The Cabiri is headed by Artistic Director John S. Murphy and Managing Director Charly McCreary. Tewaz features choreography and artistic direction by former Cirque du Soleil collaborators Sam Alvarez and Marshall Garfield respectively. With a lighting display from Seattle Opera's Connie Yun and an original score by Constantin Parvelescu.
Tewaz opens June 6 at the Cornish Playhouse at Seattle Center and plays through June 14.

Family and friends are searching for answers after a Brooklyn mother was fatally shot at a local hospital early Tuesday morning. NY1's Dean Meminger filed the following report.
It's a heartbreaking mystery for family members. How did Shalema Gaskin end up dead outside Brookdale Hospital after rushing her 8-year-old daughter here because she was having an asthma attack?
"She was a loving mom, and if you needed anything, she would give it to you," said Lyla Evans, Gaskin's aunt. "We just talked to her. Her birthday is on the 20th of this month."
Gaskin had left her daughter at Brookdale while she went to see to the rest of her family, but police say she was found bleeding in the rear of the hospital around 3 a.m. Tuesday. She'd been shot. She was rushed inside but doctors could not save her.
"She left and went home to take care of her other children," said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. "Apparently, returning to the hospital, in the vicinity of Brookdale Hospital she was shot once in the neck and expired."
"They worked on her for a while and she just died. But we don't have no idea why she was back here," said Mona Lewis, a family friend. "But that time of day, this entrance from the back is not open. So we don't know why was she around here. "
Police and family members said the 8-year-old's father stayed at her bedside as Gaskin left the hospital.
Detectives were in the area looking for any evidence of the shooting.
Brookdale Hospital said it's cooperating with the investigation.
"I want the person that shot and killed my daughter caught," said Tanya Gaskin, Shalema Gaskin's mother. "I want some justice. That's the main thing. Right now, I'm not going to rest until I find out who killed my daughter."
Gaskin's family said she recently joined a church and went to services most Sundays. They described her as an angel.
The 32-year-old mom leaves behind three daughters.
Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
