Racialicious Note: This post from TransGriot is from mid-June, so this festival has passed. But we thought this great list of African American LGBTQ films was worth posting anyway.
TransGriot Note: Received this interesting e-mail from the Maysles Institute in NYC about a TBLG film retrospective slated to kick off on Juneteenth (June 19) at the Maysles Cinema.
With arguments often eerily reminiscent of old rationales for black oppression, gays and lesbians remain openly, legally and even, 'righteously', discriminated against.
For LGBT people of all races, knowing ourselves, making our extraordinary history known to others, much as with blacks, becomes a key component to liberation. If LGBT heritage remains often obscured and belittled, achievements of African American lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people, are less well known still.
In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, the film festival, Homo-Harlem: A Film Retrospective, Friday, June 19th-Saturday, June 27th, cosponsored by the Maysles Cinema at 343 Malcolm X Boulevard with Men of All Colors Together, seeks to help to remedy this lack of recognition.
Through a series of coordinated screenings, critical discussions and walking tours, Homo-Harlem for the first time officially brings Stonewall observations uptown to focus on and honor, figures as diverse as poets Audre Lorde and Langston Hughes, social justice activist Bayard Rustin, composer Billy Strayhorn, photographer Marvin Smith and living legend Storme DeLarverie, whose courageous stand at the Stonewall Bar, 40 years ago, literally helped set in motion the entire Gay Pride Movement.
We LGBT people have always been busy making Harlem better, as one resident reported in 1928, "Never no wells of loneliness in Harlem…" Space is limited for this exhilarating experience, so be sure to make a reservation in advance and get ready to be enlightened, to be amazed and to party hard!

lands end woodland
Lands End Woodland focuses on maintaining and utilizing property purchased in the 1920's as intended by the original founders. These families wanted a place for recreational activities, to fish and hunt, to have access to firewood, and to provide family burial grounds. With the influx of development into the area, the impact of increased property taxes and other encroachments, the organization is determined to honor the ancestors by protecting this property for posterity. Lands End Woodland River Festival. Landsend Woodland River Festival.
Over the years, there has been ongoing timber farming on portions of the property. Fishing and hunting remain viable activities.
In an area adjacent to the cemetery, portions of the original plantation house and slave quarters in the form of tabby ruins have been uncovered and are in the process of being stabilized so that they can be restored.

Post-herpetic neuralgia is a complication of 'Shingles', which is a rash caused by chicken pox virus, also called the Varicella Zoster virus. The virus of 'Shingles', remains in the affected nerves and may re-activate later in some people.
Post-herpetic neuralgia occurs in 15-20% of the patients, who have suffered from 'Shingles'. It is commonly seen in individuals of 50-60 years of age. Its incidence is more in women as compared to men. The nerves commonly affected, are those of the head and the neck region.
The primary clinical features of post-herpetic neuralgia include pain and burning. There may be tingling or numbness. If there is involvement of the head and neck nerves, then the individual may complain of facial pain. The affected individual may be unable to eat or drink. They may have difficulty in chewing or in speaking. Some individuals may experience a sharp shooting pain off and on.
The diagnosis of post-herpetic neuralgia is easily established by an experienced physician. The history which will reveal past exposure to zoster virus, along with the present symptoms may lead to the diagnosis. There is no specific test for diagnosis of post-herpetic neuralgia.
The causative organism of post-herpetic neuralgia is varicella zoster virus. This virus after causing chicken pox in an individual, remains dormant in the nerve bed for years. When the same individual is under stress or his immunity is low, the virus may get re-activated and cause 'Shingles'. This leads to rashes along the course of the nerve. The areas affected more commonly are the head and neck region or lower back region. Pain and burning may still remain along the nerves, even after the disappearance of the rash. Post-herpetic neuralgia may be prevented by reducing stress and maintaining good immunity.
Post herpetic neuralgia causes lot of pain and discomfort which affects the daily routine of the patient. The patient is unable to eat, talk, laugh, or do any facial activity. This might affect his nutrition and social relationship.
Post-herpetic neuralgia is a viral disorder which can be treated by antiviral drugs such as Acyclovir. Symptomatic treatment including pain-killer medications may be given for temporary relief. If all these conservative treatment do not help, then surgery for the nerve block is the final resort.

Fox Rampage Pro Carbon Helmet
Fox took their expertise in MX helmet design and leveraged it into the Fox Rampage helmet - a high performance, light weight fiberglass shell riding helmet that gives you full face coverage without the steep price.
The design of this helmet is a lot more sleek than the previous offering from Fox (V3R Carbon). The Rampage carbon is similar in size and weight to the TLD D3. The helmet vents well. Like any full-faced helmet, it will be warm if you're pushing your bike but once you get moving it won't feel like you need to rip it off midway through your run. I ordered a size medium based on the size chart. When I first tried it on, it felt tight in the cheeks but after a few rides and a wash, it fits perfect. I had a hard time pulling the trigger on a helmet that cost so much, but after a crash in a cheap old helmet and a concussion I figured $425 was worth protecting my head.
I got the XXL and it was still a little too tight, I realize its supposed to be snug but still it was a little to tight. It is a comfortable durable helmet. Also, as gets worn the chin strap can get difficult to loosen. The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars is the $425 regular price, although I bought it for $250 on sale. Overall glad I purchased it.

What's with this Hall Of Fame Stuff??? Ronde Barber in a class by himself??? Hockey Night in the NFL??? TCU a Big East Team??? Oh yeah, believe it. All this inside this edition of Rants and Raves.
On December 6th, the veterans committee, of the Baseball Hall of Fame, will select the next inductees to the Hall of Fame. The late Yankee owner George Steinbrenner and the late Yankee manager Billy Martin are on the Hall of Fame veterans committee ballot. George fired Billy four times and Billy resigned once. As manger, Billy won one World Series and lost one. As owner of greatest franchise in history, Steinbrenner's Yankees won 7 World Series, 11 American League Pennants and 16 American League East titles. It would be ironic if the two Yankee Icons are inducted together. Also on the veterans ballot are Ron Guidry, Marvin Miller, Vida Blue, Dave Concepcion, Steve Garvey, Tommy John, Al Oliver, Ted Simmons, Pat Gillick and Rusty Staub. You do you think is deserving of this honor?
Speaking of baseball HOF, the Hall of Fame also released the names of this years eligible class. Leading the first year group are Rafael "I never used steroids" Palmeiro and Juan Gonzalez, both are suspected steroid users. Here is the complete ballot: Roberto Alomar, Carlos Baerga, Jeff Bagwell, Harold Baines, Bert Blyleven, Bret Boone, Kevin Brown, John Franco, Juan Gonzalez, Marquis Grissom, Lenny Harris, Bobby Higginson, Charles Johnson, Barry Larkin, Al Leiter, Edgar Martinez, Tino Martinez, Don Mattingly, Fred McGriff, Mark McGwire, Raul Mondesi, Jack Morris, Dale Murphy, John Olerud, Rafael Palmeiro, Dave Parker, Tim Raines, Kirk Rueter, Benito Santiago, Lee Smith, B.J. Surhoff, Alan Trammell, Larry Walker. Candidates remain on the ballot for up to 15 years and must appear on at least 5 percent to remain on the following year. BBWAA members who have been with the organization for at least 10 consecutive years may vote through Dec. 31 and results will be announced Jan. 5. Any winners of the writers' vote and at the Veterans Committee ballot, which will be announced next week at the winter meetings, will be inducted during ceremonies on July 24 in Cooperstown. You do you think is deserving of this honor?
The NFL Hall of Fame has released the list of 26 semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall Of Fame. First time eligible players Curtis Martin, Jerome Bettis, Willie Roaf, Deion Sanders and Marshall Faulk lead this class. Also semifinalists are Tim Brown, Cris Carter, Don Coryell, Roger Craig, Terrell Davis, Edward DeBartolo, Dermontti Dawson, Richard Dent, Chris Doleman, Kevin Greene, Ray Guy, Charles Haley, Lester Hayes, Cortez Kennedy, Art Model, Andre Reed, Ed Sabol, Shannon Sharpe, Paul Tagliabue, Aeneas Williams and George Young. The 15 finalists will be announced in January. Then, the Class of 2011 will be determined at the selection committee's annual meeting on February 5, 2011 the day before Super Bowl XLV in Arlington, Texas.
In a statistic not too many have seem to notice, Ronde Barber is the first cornerback in NFL history with at least 40 interceptions and 25 sacks.
How many people can say they went to a football game and a hockey game broke out? Well that's what happened when Houston WR Andre Johnson and Tennessee cornerback Cortland Finnegan got into a fistfight that got both players ejected in the fourth quarter Sunday. I can of like the fighting in football. It lets the players vent. I think they should allow one fight per half to vent. The NHL lets it happen, why can't the NFL??
As I wrote awhile back, TCU would be a good addition to the Big East. Well now its going to happen as TCU accepted a bid to the Big East Conference, which will take effect July 1, 2012. It makes sense for TCU and the Big East. Dallas/Fort Worth is the nations fifth largest media market. It also gives the Big East access into the fertile recruiting area of Texas, while it allows TCU to get an automatic bid into a bowl game. it's a win/win situation.
To all my Jewish friends I want to wish you a

More than 80% of the Philippines' 96 million residents are Catholic.Passage of the bill closed a divisive chapter in the country's history, said Valte, according to the official Philippines News Agency.The act "opens the possibility of cooperation and reconciliation among different sectors in society: engagement and dialogue characterized not by animosity, but by our collective desire to better the welfare of the Filipino people," she said.Read one senator's opinion: 'Why we fought'Sen. Edgardo Angara, who voted for the measure, called the bill "an affirmation of human rights," according to CNN affiliate ABS-CBN."We have to consider that not all Filipinos are Catholics. We have Muslims, Protestants, Buddhists, nonbelievers," he said at the time of the bill's passage, according to ABS-CBN.More from asiaIndian mob breaks into jail, beats rape suspect to death Marital rape: Why is it legal in India?Rape suspect dragged out of Indian jail, killed by mobPowered by Livefyre

More reviews by SensualSusanna
Auromere Ayurvedic Himilayan Rose soap is an awesome product! This has a nice soft incense/rose scent that isn't girly, just clean. With that said, my son had poison ivy and I was trying to find a soap too soothe his skin and allow it to dry up and heal. It worked wonders. My skin gets prickely heat and shaving rash sometimes; it works great for that. In fact, I've been shaving with this all week and no irritation! My daughter had a ton of mosquito bites and it soothed her skin as well. My husband, dispite the rose scent (which isn't really rose -- it's more incense- soft floral smelling) loved it in the shower on his sun exposed skin and said it had a very 'clean' scent. The packaging says for dry/sensitive skin, but honestly, I didn't find it overly moisturizing, but more soothing. A must have now for my home.... as I think it's a nice cure all -- treatment/cleanser on any type of aggravated/damaged skin.
**a BONUS if you love this fragrance you'd love Auromere Rose Incense --same great rose scent.

The Art of Immersion: The Star Wars Generation
- |
- 10:30 am |
- Permalink
Adam Horowitz blames the whole thing on Star Wars.
Horowitz — who with his writing partner, Eddy Kitsis, was an executive producer on Lost and a screenwriter for Tron: Legacy — remembers seeing Star Wars in Times Square with his mom when he was five. As soon as it was over, he wanted to go right back in.
"But there's no bigger Star Wars geek than Damon Lindelof," he admits.
Lindelof, the co-creator of Lost with J.J. Abrams, was only four when he saw the picture. Years later, when ABC's Lloyd Braun paired him with Abrams as the show was in development, Lindelof showed up for their first meeting wearing an original Star Wars T-shirt he'd gotten when he and his dad joined the Star Wars Fan Club. Abrams was wowed.
Lindelof, Abrams, Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly) — for a whole generation of Hollywood writers in their 30s and 40s, Horowitz quips, "Star Wars was a gateway drug."
It was also a precursor to what we're coming to expect in movies and TV. Shows in the past, Lindelof points out, went to great lengths to avoid unanswered questions. Lost was deliberately ambiguous.
"The show became an excuse to develop a community" online, says Carlton Cuse, who headed the production with Lindelof. "And the basis of it was that people were able to debate open-ended questions — questions that we insisted be open-ended, and that would get fans engaged in the show."
Years before the web, with its boundless connectivity and its endless cascade of hyperlinks turned entertainment into a spelunking expedition, Star Wars was a saga you could immerse yourself in at will.
But it wasn't actually meant to be that. In the mid-'70s, when the original picture was released, it didn't occur to anyone to create a deep-media universe for fans to dive into. Star Wars was accompanied by a cascade of merchandise, but much of it had only a tenuous connection with the movie.
The novel from Del Rey, purportedly written by Lucas himself, was in fact ghosted by a science fiction writer whose only guide was an early draft of the script. The Marvel comics series began veering off in weird directions as early as Episode 8, when Han Solo and his Wookiee sidekick Chewbacca encounter Jaxxon, a giant rabbit the writers dreamed up as an homage to Bugs Bunny.
And neither the fans nor George Lucas himself seemed to think this was odd. It was just the way things worked at the time.
"The difference between then and now," says Howard Roffman, the Lucasfilm executive in charge of what is now known as the Star Wars Expanded Universe, "is that we didn't know what we had."

City of Oakdale Sales Tax Increase, Measure O (November 2011)
From Ballotpedia
A City of Oakdale Sales Tax Increase, Measure O ballot question was on the November 8, 2011 ballot for voters in the City of Oakdale in Stanislaus County, where it was approved.
The approval of Measure O means that a one-half cent sales tax will be levied on the purchase of goods and services within the City of Oakdale for three years. The tax will begin on April 1, 2012 and end on March 31, 2015.
Revenues raised from the new tax will go into the city's general fund and can be used for any general municipal purpose.
Election results
Measure O | ||||
Result | Votes | Percentage | ||
Yes | 1,728 | 55.38% | ||
No | 1,392 | 44.62% |
- Election results are from the Stanislaus County elections office (dead link).
The official voter guide arguments in favor of Measure O were signed by:
- Pat Paul, Mayor, City of Oakdale
- Mike Brennan, Council Member, City of Oakdale
- Jason Howard, Council Member, City of Oakdale
- Kathy Morgan, Council Member, City of Oakdale
They argued, in part:
- "The quality of life in Oakdale simply can't be found elsewhere in the Central Valley. Our unique family friendly atmosphere, coupled with our can-do, self reliant spirit make the choice to live in Oakdale an easy one. However, over the past six years, these qualities have been slowly slipping away."
- "Since the economic downturn, and then the ensuing state raids of local funds, Oakdale has been forced to cut spending by $2.5 million. These cuts have consisted mostly of reduction in workforce, with a 29% reduction in the police department, a 24% reduction in the fi re department, and a 43% reduction in the community development, parks, and recreation departments. Doing so has effectively left our community and our homes less protected, as well as limiting our ability to maintain our infrastructure."
Path to the ballot
Measure O was placed on the ballot through a vote of the Oakdale City Council.

"great work enviorment and helpful managers "
I worked at Dunkin' Donuts part-time (more than a year)
Recieved many hours and help learning the menu and the most efficient way to take down orders, while being part of a gleeful team lead by a competent shift leader.
Customers come in pulses. Twelve o'clock the drive-trhu and the walk-in become filled with many people who want their food before their lunch break ends. the company could be a little more helpfull in teaching the employees how to deal with rowdy customers.
Make sure all of the team members know who is in charge of what and make sure those people know what they are doing or need to do before the work actually starts. It makes employees very nervous and disappointed in themselves when they cant match the speed of the other, more experienced, workers.

ProsIf you work at a place that accepts tips, the pay is actually really good for a first job. The work itself can get old but usually you work with people you can at least get along with. It is all dependent on store though. The manager in most cases influences how the work environment is.
ConsIf you get stuck at a place with a bad manager, you will hate your job. Dunkin Donuts locations are so small that you are always interacting with the manager. If they are not nice, friendly, tolerable of mistakes, you may have trouble working there. Some stores have really high turnover solely because of the manager.
Also, there is not much room to be promoted. The highest level is store manager, which can be a decent job, but the pay isn't too great and the hours can be long and stressful for such a low pay.Advice to ManagementAdviceEvaluate manager performance better. Some managers really shouldn't have their job anymore but get away with way too much. Eliminate gossip and drama at the workplace as best as possible, as it can be very high here since again it is a small business with few employees.

MIA: Encyclopedia of Marxism: Glossary of Periodicals
Woman Rebel
This short-lived anarchist journal is notable because of the editorship of birth-control advocate Margaret Sanger. Produced monthly from March through October, 1914, this eight-page newspaper addressed working-lass women in the name of labor militancy, free love, and anticlericalism. In Sanger's opinion, Woman Rebel was "red and flaming," and its motto, No Gods, No Masters, complemented its advocacy of direct action.
Sanger reprinted the preamble to the constitution of the Industrial Workers of the World and essays by feminist writers Olive Schreiner, Ellen Key, Helen Keller, and Emma Goldman. Sanger's editorials, which included promotion of birth control, were ultraleftist and occasionally struck out at "bourgeois feminists." in the July issue she published an essay, "in Defense of Assassination," by Herbert A. Thorpe, for which the U.S. Post Office rescinded her mailing privileges. Sanger was then indicted the following month for violating the Comstock Postal Act of 1873. The newspaper folded when Sanger, hoping to avoid arrest, sought exile abroad.

Hi New Friends:I'm only finishing Day 2 of my first 21-Day fast, and I'm wondering how other fasters have balanced exercise with fasting. On one hand I'd love to make the most of the weight loss while fasting. On the other hand I don't want to overdo so much I fall off the wagon and break the fast -- or worse. I realize this is a gradual process that will slow exponentially. And as people have pointed out, since you can't predict how your body will react (fainting, vomiting, etc.) it's wise to go easy at first.I live in an apartment complex with a gym, and I work at home. I was wondering about doing some cardio for short periods during the day, resting in between. The gym is right between my apartment and the pool, which is outfitted with lounge chairs.I'm 51, a very small-boned female, and quite fit for my age. I weigh 141 and I'm aiming to return to my lifelong weight of 105 -- yes, I know it's off the weight charts, but in my case it's doctor-approved. I think my family was descended from pygmies... Obviously I can't lose 36 lbs. in the remaining 19 days (hey, only 19 days left!), but I'd love to get a running start and optimize my progress without compromising my health. Well, theoretically I could lose 36 lbs, but that A) sounds unhealthy, and B) the weight loss will slow as I get lighter. Although I'm down nearly 4 lbs. the first day, I'm assuming I'll average a little less than 1 lb. daily and end the fast somewhere between 125-129. At that point I'll be back in the ball park and likely stop fasting and start living healthfully again to finish the job. 'Cause that *is* how I kept the weight down three decades in the first place, and it's how I should live again from now on.Still, I'd like to get the best results possible while fasting -- within reason. Today I did a light upper-body weight workout and two light 15-minute elliptical sessions with a long break between. Any input on this would be appreciated from fasters who have exercised either lightly or vigorously. What did you do? What were the side effects? And how did this amount of exercise affect your progress?

text: Why he lives in metro Detroit: The Detroit area has always been my home, and Michigan will always be my state. I love the grittiness of downtown Detroit, and I feel a special connection to promoting and supporting the revival of this once prominent city. There are so many things I love about Detroit and the suburbs, from restaurants to the waterfront, underground and above ground music scene to nightclubs, small boutiques to Somerset Mall, and the beauty of the changing seasons and the unique activities that each season offers. I have chosen to stay in Metro Detroit because I see great potential for development and regrowth, and would like to be a part of that redevelopment activity. I hope that Metro Detroit development will turn away from urban sprawl and back inward to city ingrowth and development, a trend that has been happening in downtown Detroit for a few years. I think that the Detroit area has to work more on branding itself to the under 30 crowd. There is a lot of do, see, and enjoy, but a lot of times people just are not aware of these opportunities. There should be some ties between downtown Detroit and the nearby urban areas to bring activities together. I also think more reliable mass transit systems would bring the younger crowd to the area. Lastly, for downtown Detroit there has to be more of a message that it is safe. People hear that Detroit has huge crime numbers, and associate that with downtown instead of the greater city area.

As an exploratory major I honestly have no idea what I want to do. People always say, "you must have some idea" but I really don't. Being undecided was a huge reason as to why I chose Butler. This may confuse some people. Let me explain.
The exploratory program is really great at Butler, yes it is a program, being exploratory is better than being undecided at other schools because your advisers and faculty really help you try to figure out what you want to do. I am currently in the exploratory class, which is LC 103. This class allows you to take skills test and personality assessments to see what your strengths are. It also allows you to job shadow in areas where you would be interested. On top of that speakers from the different colleges at Butler come to speak to you about their college and what majors are involved.
On all my tests I always test high in leadership and communication. This is not that shocking to me but some skills can be shocking! The other day I scored sort of high in creativity. I really do not think I am creative at all.
So if anyone has any idea what I should do with my life please inform me. Until then I will be exploring my options here at Butler, until hopefully end of sophomore year when I really want to be able to decide.
Since this week I have no homework, I have been finding a lot of extra time to find really dumb YouTube videos. Basically without homework I do not know what to do with myself…

Wagle wins Kan. Senate president, Merrick speaker
Published on -12/4/2012, 10:39 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Republicans on Monday elected Susan Wagle to be the new president of the Kansas Senate, the first woman to hold court over either chamber of the Legislature.
Wagle, a veteran Republican from Wichita, defeated Steve Abrams of Arkansas City, 23-9.
"I don't think I was elected because I am a woman. My colleagues elected me because I'm a qualified leader," she said.
In the House, Stilwell Republican Ray Merrick defeated Arlen Siegfreid of Olathe in a race between Johnson County veterans. Merrick served two years in the Senate, filling the unexpired term of Jeff Colyer when he was elected lieutenant governor with Republican Gov. Sam Brownback in 2010. Siegfreid was majority leader for the past two years.
Wagle said her victory would serve as an inspiration for cancer survivors. She spent most of the summer undergoing chemotherapy for cancer of the body-cleansing lymphatic system, and also had a bout with cancer in 1996.
"It brings hope and encouragement to an awful lot of people who want a reason to get out of bed in the morning," Wagle said. "That's the big message we were able to share. There's life after cancer."
When the session begins in January, Republicans will outnumber Democrats 32-8 in the Senate and 92-33 in the House.
Party primaries in August saw the conservative wing of the Republican Party oust several moderates, including Senate President Steve Morris. In the House, Speaker Mike O'Neal retired after 28 years in the chamber, including two terms as speaker.
Wagle and Merrick dismissed any likely criticism that a conservative Legislature will be little more than a "rubber stamp" for Brownback's agenda.
"Each and every senator cares about bringing their issues to the table. There's no such thing as a rubber stamp in the Legislature," Wagle said.
Legislators enacted sweeping income tax cuts in 2012 that will eliminate taxes for about 190,000 businesses and reduce rates for all individual taxpayers. The reduction in revenue leaves legislators facing the prospects of a budget shortfall next year of more than $327 million.
Merrick said he would instruct committee leaders in the House to work early in the session with Senate counterparts on issues to make the year go as smoothly as possible in what he sees as a difficult session.
"Anyone who's thinking it's going to be a cake walk is going to get a surprise," said Merrick, who previously served as House majority leader before moving to the Senate and then back to the House.
Brownback issued a statement congratulating all Republicans and Democrats elected to office and said he was looking forward to working with them on the opportunities awaiting them when the 2013 session starts on Jan. 14.
House Republicans also elected Jene Vickrey of Louisburg as majority leader. He served last session as speaker pro tem and defeated Marc Rhoades of Newton, who served the past two years as chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.
Democrats re-elected Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, as Senate minority leader and Paul Davis, of Lawrence, as House minority leader.
In other Senate leadership races, Republicans elected Jeff King of Independence as Senate vice president and Terry Bruce of Hutchinson as majority leader. In his position, Bruce will help shape the debate calendar by setting the schedule for debate of issues as they move to the Senate floor, in consultation with the Senate president.
Because the House speaker and Senate president are mentioned in the state constitution, Republicans' selections must be ratified by each chamber once the Legislature convenes its 2013 session Jan. 14, but that's traditionally a formality. House leaders will hold their jobs for 2013 and 2014, but Senate leaders will retain them through 2016.

Geekly Update - 04 January 2012
Is there a direct correlation between YouTube's most popular videos and the Mayan doomsday theory? Can Twitter predict when you will be happiest? And is there something you can do to stop the boss from sending you emails at 2AM? Get answers to these burning questions, and the scoop on the latest tech news, in this edition of the Geekly Update.

The AskBobRankin Geekly Update
YouTube has released their annual Year In Review, featuring the most-viewed videos of 2011. The number one video this year was Rebecca Black's "Friday". Others in the top ten include Ultimate Dog Tease, Talking Twin Babies and Nyan the Singing Poptart Cat. All of which does more to lend credence to the Mayan end-of-the-world-in-2012 theory than anything else I can imagine.
It's official... things ARE getting worse. A team from the University of Vermont decided to analyze over 4 billion Twitter messages from a time period of 33 months. Their findings, reported in a December issue of PLoS ONE, show that although moods tend to peak during the holidays, for the most part happiness has been declining.
According to security company Sophos, the latest scam out there was the promise of a Lady Gaga iPad if you clicked the link. Although this one was removed within a day there may be more because other groups, such as Maroon 5, have been exposed to the same treatment.
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim has been voted the Game of the Year from the 2011 VGA Awards whose participants include game site and magazine editors. Bethesda Softworks says that it has shipped over 10 million copies of the popular RPG.
Sony released their new portable game system this week in Japan after its initial debut in September at the Tokyo Game Show and will hit the states Feb. 22. Vita is motion sensitive, has a touch interface, connection over cellphone networks or WiFi, and features a camera and GPS technology.
For the first time, the NFL has agreed to stream the wildcard playoffs, Super Bowl XLVI and Pro Bowl on its own and NBC sites. Mobile users can get a free app at the iTunes App Store and Android Market.
It's Archo's turn to present its own Android 3.2 Honeycomb tablet, known merely as the 70b IT. With a 7", 1024x600 capacitive touchscreen, a 1.2GHz processor, 512MB RAM and 8GB memory, it has a price starting at $199.00.
In Germany, Volkswagen has promised to stop sending emails to its unionized workers until 30 minutes before they come in and cease 30 minutes after they finish.
NORAD did their yearly tracking of Santa this year and their Facebook page claimed almost a million "Likes." Others followed his route via the official tracking page and on mobile apps.
VuPoint Solutions' Magic Wand PDS can scan a page of text or images in either color or black and white in a mere seconds. Available in several versions and colors, the device can copy data to an SD card (not included) by using one of several universal transfer protocols.
Republic Wireless has announced that it will truly be unlimited service for $19.00 a month. Last week GM Brian Dally stated that the company had eliminated the "fair use threshold" after customers found it to be deceptive marketing.

In reference to the tracking of moods using the twitter messages done by the University of Vermont. I hold little value in the results as it only reviews those use twitter. Maybe the conclusion is that people that use Twitter have bad moods. Does Twitter cause the mood swing? If they quit using Twitter, maybe their moods would change. What about the millions of others that don't use Twitter? |

Retiring LaHood: Farm goods move smoother
By TIM ALEXANDER
Illinois Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Retiring U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood will likely be remembered most for his efforts in making the nation's roads safer by encouraging anti-distracted driving legislation, including bans on texting while driving, in 39 states and counting.
But the former seven-term Republican Congressman from Illinois, who was appointed Department of Transportation secretary by Democrat President Barack Obama in 2009, said he also expended extra effort to help agricultural commodities move more smoothly on the nation's roads, rails and waters.
LaHood, 67, of Peoria, offered his work in securing funding for port and freight rail infrastructure improvements and exempting agricultural vehicles from stringent hours of service (HOS) limitations as a few examples of how he helped enhance ag transportation during his four-year appointment.
"I really appreciate the opportunity that President Obama gave me to be a part of an administration that put so much emphasis on transportation, and emphasis on getting people back to work and helping the economy. I think we've done some of that," LaHood said.
This begs the obvious question: Why leave, then, just as Obama begins his second term in office? "The reason that I'm retiring is after 35 years of public service and 45 years of marriage, the two have converged and my wife convinced me it was time to move on," said LaHood, who also pushed for repairs to roads and bridges and championed high-speed rail throughout Obama's first term. "But I think this job is the best job I've ever had."
He spoke of the DOT's role in funding the rehabbing of the nation's ports, through a feature of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), as a key effort in helping ensure the U.S.' continuing global competitiveness in export and import markets for agricultural goods.
"I think that no other administration has taken the interest in ports that ours has taken. Through our TIGER (discretionary grant) program we've invested about $354 million in ports to 25 port projects around the country," the outgoing secretary said.
"The reason we did it is because ports are such an economic engine, and we also felt it was very important with the (2014) development of the new channel of the Panama Canal. We also know that ports are a way to relieve congestion on our highways by getting trucks off the road."
The ARRA's TIGER program was extended by Congress and has now provided more than $3 billion in funding to 218 projects in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. In addition, the DOT awarded $48 billion in Recovery Act dollars to more than 15,000 transportation projects across the nation, creating tens of thousands of jobs during LaHood's tenure as secretary, according to the DOT. "Another area affecting agriculture that I was proud to work on was the idea of exempting farmers from the (HOS) rule that applies to most truckers and bus drivers," LaHood explained.
"Particularly during the planting and harvest seasons, it really affected drivers that carried agricultural goods within 150 miles. We worked very hard for a provision that exempted farmers."
Like most private industry, freight rail companies are largely responsible for funding their own infrastructure repairs. But during his term as secretary, Class I railroads received hundreds of million of dollars from the government to improve their operations.
"Freight rail delivers a lot of agricultural products around the country," LaHood said. "We made huge investments in our freight rail system. Even though they are a private company, they've accepted almost $1 billion for 50 projects to improve freight rail around the country."
A strong supporter of high-speed passenger rail service, he visited some 18 countries, 49 states and 200 cities to learn more about the subject or stump for its advancement.
But his legacy will be his unwavering efforts to make road safety the DOT's primary mission.
After creating the department's Transportation Safety Council soon after assuming his new role, LaHood launched an aggressive national campaign in 2009 to end the dangerous practice of cell-phone texting while driving.
"Four years ago nobody was talking about distracted driving," he said.
"As a result of our efforts, 39 states have passed laws. We've gotten insurance companies to take an interest in funding (anti-distracted driving) public service messages. I think we've saved some lives and injuries, as a result."
LaHood intends to resign his post as soon as a successor can be named. When he returns to Peoria, he plans to focus on spending more time with his grandchildren.
A grandfather of 10, he will bring home a treasure trove of once-in-a-lifetime experiences as a cabinet secretary and longtime federal lawmaker, to share with his large family. "We've had a busy four years, but it's the type of busy that has been really rewarding," LaHood said.

Shojo Chibis: Sand Chronicles 8, Otomen 6, Honey & Clover 10
Posted in Manga Reviews on May 16, 2010 by Johannapublished by Viz
Sand Chronicles Book 8
by Hinako Ashihara; adapted by John Werry
With the conclusion of High School Debut, Sand Chronicles is now tied with Nana for my favorite shojo series. This volume concludes the main story, but there are two more books coming with additional bonus stories.
To bring things full circle, in this book, the adult Ann is setting out to revisit the sand museum in Nima that provided her the hourglass token that drove so much of her young life. Once again, her journey — the places she sees and people she meets — sparks memories in her about how she thought her life would turn out with Daigo. I love the art montages Ashihara uses to symbolize how remembering sends a flow of images over you.
Quiet nostalgia pervades this book, and as an adult reader, I really appreciate it as suited to my time in life, on a quiet afternoon. Yet there's plenty of action and movement and expression, particularly in this chapter, as Ann meets a young boy, one of Daigo's students. He's cute and pouty and curious, all the characteristics of kids in one helpful little plot package. The final take is immensely powerful in the way it wraps all of Ann's emotions into one beautiful wish of love.
Another child, Ann's step-sister, features in the second half, the epilogue. Using youngsters as observers and sounding boards is a great way to emphasize the message that "life goes on." Ann finally makes her peace with her mother's suicide at her gravesite, a necessary step before she can finally, fully move on to her own life choices. Her story to us may be over (for now), but in another sense, it's just beginning.
We are the sum of our memories, and I'm glad this series is part of mine.
Otomen Book 6
by Aya Kanno; adapted by JN Productions
Otomen is the anti-Star Trek. There, the rule was that only the even-numbered movies were good. With this series, I seem to enjoy the odd-numbered books more than the even. Which means that, yes, I was disappointed in this volume — but I have great hopes for the next one!
As the author mentions in an early note to the readers, "the plot is all over the place, isn't it?" Asuka is feeling uncomfortable with the demands placed on him as a Beauty Samurai, and there's a mysterious photographer tracking him. This chapter feels like it's going to become much more than it does, and there's a bunch of jerking the reader around in setting up expectations that aren't fulfilled.
The next chapter has girlish-looking Yamato, who is fixated on Asuka's "manliness", begging him to help him date the girl he's crushing on. I'm not a fan of Yamato as a character, since he seems too much made for author convenience, so whether or not he gets a girl doesn't matter much to me. And his gimmick, that he believes the most exaggerated stereotypes of what a man should be or what a girl's looking for or how a date should go, is just dumb. We're encouraged to laugh at him instead of with him, which I don't care for. Yamato and Asuka wind up on a practice date, which should thrill those readers looking for starting points for yaoi-flavored fan fiction.
The author says, in another note, that she didn't notice that she was making Yamato and his girlfriend look exactly alike. That's pretty hard to believe, since it seems a rather large oversight. The girl gets her own focus in the following chapter, where she has to overcome her exaggerated hatred of flowers. See, at this point, I just wanted to get back to cute comedy about the core characters and their amusing attempts to overcome gender stereotypes. The plot points in this volume are just too far away from what I'm looking for in the series, as though the writer isn't sure what to do next with her characters. I wanted a lot more Ryo, the tomboy Asuka loves, and she was barely in this book.
Honey and Clover Book 10
by Chica Umino; adapted by Akemi Wegmuller
due out June 1
This volume ends the series. Since I stopped reading around book 4, I'm perhaps not the best person to evaluate how satisfying a conclusion it is.
Also, I still dislike Hagumi, the elfin artist whom most of the guys are in love with, which creeps me out, since she (purposefully) looks like a child. Half the book finishes the main story, and apparently the only thread left to resolve is whom Hagumi will pick to spend her life with. She's also suffering from a hand injury that may prevent her from painting, creating the art she lives for.
It's very dramatic and emotional, all the more so if you care about any of these characters. For me, it's very remote, as though I'm watching a soap opera for the first time, and if I'm understanding her choice and the reasons for it correctly, it's even creepier (since it reads like she's seeking a father instead of a mate). The story is punctuated by the nostalgic metaphors that attract its fans, such as the environmental description in one flashback:
I love rain.
I love how it softens the outlines of things.
The world looks dim and misty, and I feel like I'll melt right into it.
All of the main characters appear, though, and the ending carries the style and tone of the series up until the end. The remaining half of the book is made up of six short pieces: two illustrated goodbyes from the author, two Honey and Clover bonus stories, an independent love story about a young handbag designer, and a silly piece around one of Doraemon's gadgets. By featuring other, lesser works at the end, this book works to wean readers away from the series gradually, as it ends quietly.
(All books are published by Viz at $9.99 US. The publisher provided review copies of the above.)

[…] Johanna Draper Carlson reviews some recent Shojo Beat releases at Comics Worth Reading, and the Manga Recon team checks in as well with their latest On the Shojo […]
Sand Chronicles grew on me so much! I thought it was alright at first, but as everything developed I found myself really worried about the happiness of the characters. I was beside myself at the end of volume 7, I REALLY wanted to know what happened next. So when 8 arrived I sat down and read it right away, sigh…I'm so happy/content now. I look forward to the two bonus story volumes but I won't be anxiously ready to pounce the UPS guy the moment they show up like I did with volume 8.
Otomen is an enjoyable casual read for me, I actually don't expect too much from this series in terms of it holding my undivided attention like Sand Chronicles did. But I like watching the characters doing their random episodic events.
I read/watched Honey and Clover for Ayu. I like her a lot. I'm also not that fond of Hagumi, the way she acted bothered me a bit.
She was the pottery girl with the unrequited love for Mayama (the architect).

Last Monday, The Tennis Recruiting Network kicked off its Spring Recruiting Class Rankings with a list of the top men's classes. Today, we take a look at the women.
We have heard from many college coaches and high school senior players, and the vast majority of top American college-bound seniors - along with a large number of international players - have reported college commitments. Commitments continue to roll in every day, but they are unlikely to impact the top classes.
Today, the Tennis Recruiting Network and Solfire are proud to announce the Top 25 women's recruiting classes for the Class of 2014.
Media Poll
TennisRecruiting.net and Solfire have enlisted the aid of junior tennis experts from around the country to vote for the top classes. We list the panelists for this voting period below.
Each of our panelists submitted his/her take on the Top 25 recruiting classes. Schools received 25 points for each first-place vote, 24 points for each second-place vote, on down to 1 point for each 25th-place vote. The panelists did not consider incoming transfer students in their voting - and also did not consider players that played college tennis this past spring.
Top 25 Women's Recruiting Classes (through May 2)
Here are the Spring Rankings of the top women's college recruiting classes, presented by Solfire. Point totals are shown in the right-most column - with the number of first-place votes in parentheses. All commitments reported through May 2, 2014 are included.
Also Receiving Votes
Other women's programs receiving votes are: Yale (51), Houston (42), California (37), LSU (33), Baylor (32), Kansas (24), St. Mary's (CA) (19), Cornell (12), South Carolina (7), Indiana (5), William & Mary (4), Minnesota (3), Virginia (3), Dartmouth (1), Elon (1), Miami (OH) (1), Stetson (1).
Gators Still On Top
Another year, another run to the Final Four for the Florida Gators. Head Coach Roland Thornqvist's teams have been in the national semifinals for five straight years - and in a whopping ten of his thirteen years overall in Gainesville.
As in our Winter Rankings, the Florida Gators earned the top spot with an elite trio of recruits: Brooke Austin, Peggy Porter, and Josie Kuhlman. All three girls have professional rankings, as the WTA ranks them No. 525, 603, and 879 in the world, respectively. Tennis Recruiting has ranked all three of these recruits among the Top 5 seniors nationally throughout their careers, with Austin holding down the top spot for quite some time.
Our panel had strong support for the Gators, with 17 of the 23 voters placing them at the top of their lists. Florida earned 565 points out of a possible 575.
Touring the Top 10
The Gators received some stiff competition at the top - particularly since the Southern California Trojans have a class with three Blue Chip recruits of its own. Spring signee Meredith Xepoleas joins Gabrielle Smith and Madison Westby to bolster a squad that loses two players from its Top 6 to graduation. USC earned five first-place votes and 550 points from our panel.
The recently-crowned UCLA Bruins are No. 3 in our poll, while Georgia (one first-place vote) and North Carolina round out the Top 5.
Two teams are new to our Top 10 - Georgia Tech (No. 8) and Michigan (10).
Tech head coach Rodney Harmon added Johnnise Renaud, the top recruit from the state of Florida, to a pair of Fall recruits to earn the No. 8 spot. The Wolverines added Mira Ruder-Hook and Mollie Fox to climb from No. 17 in the winter poll to No. 10.
New Faces
Five programs in our rankings did not appear in our winter list back in February: Georgia Tech (No. 8), Brown (16), Florida International (17), Tulane (23), and Oklahoma (24).
Conference Call
The Atlantic Coast Conference once again shows its depth as a conference in these recruiting class rankings. Eight ACC programs are among the Top 25 recruiting classes - with four in the Top 10. Both of those marks are tops among all conferences. The North Carolina Tar Heels lead the way at No. 5, and they are joined by Notre Dame (No. 6), Georgia Tech (8), Duke (9), Louisville (20), Virginia Tech (21), Wake Forest (22), and Florida State (25).
Among the power conferences, the SEC and PAC-12 impress with the top classes overall. The Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs of the SEC are in the No. 1 and No. 4 positions, respectively, while LA schools USC and UCLA give the PAC-12 the No. 2 and 3 spots.
Only two conferences outside the high majors have ranked recruiting classes. Conference USA has two classes in the rankings: the Rice Owls (No. 12) and Florida International Golden Panthers (17). The Tulane Green Wave check into our rankings at No. 23 for the American Athletic Conference.
Panelists for May 2014
The panelists for this voting period are shown below alphabetically. Please join us in thanking them for donating their time and talents to this effort.

TennisRecruiting.net will publish the first of its mid-major rankings next week on Monday, June 9th.

Dear Business Owners,I am excited to share that I've recently accepted a once in a lifetime opportunity to help the more than one million Americans currently living with blood cancers by participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's 2015 Man & Woman of the Year campaign. I have been nominated by 2014 winner of the Woman of the year, Michelle Fowler. The Man & Woman of the Year campaign is a 10-week fundraising challenge for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society which takes place in the spring. I am currently assembling a great team of friends, family and colleagues to help me raise $50,000 to honor all the people I have known that have battled these terrible diseases. Along with all of those still battling, my biggest inspiration is one of my biggest heroes, Marie Fowler. Marie was diagnosed in 2011 with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. In January of 2015, she received a double donor stem cell transplant from her father and twin sister, Michelle Fowler. Unfortunately, in May of 2013, Marie lost her battle. Marie has inspired myself along with my community to help Leukemia research. I know I can't achieve my fundraising goals without the support of people like you. I know the $50,000 goal may sound steep, but I have witnessed firsthand the miracles of generosity. With Marie passing, a close group of friends and I raised over $6,000 in just a three month span. Last year alone, in Michelle's campaign for Woman of the Year she raised $30,000 in the 10-week span! I hope that you can contribute to this amazing mission: A world without blood cancer.Please let me know your thoughts. On behalf of the patients fighting blood cancers, their families and friends, my sincere thanks in advance for your generosity and support. Donations can be made online at http://www.mwoy.org/pages/epa/philly15/tgeibel. Checks can be made payable to LLS at 100 North 20th Street, 4th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19103Thank you for your consideration!Tyler Geibel
