After teasing her fans with a sneak peek of her rehearsals for her upcoming Super Bowl XLVII halftime show, Beyonce is tackling the question on everyone's mind.
The pop star seemingly addressed her headline-making Inauguration performance with a bit of casual fashion.
The 31-year-old star posted a photo of herself on Instagram sporting a sweatshirt with the words "Can I live?" written on it.
(See Beyonce's possible lip sync brush-off, HERE!)
Jay-Z also has a song titled "Can I Live."
The singer has yet to comment on reports that she used a pre-recorded track during President Obama's second Inauguration, while performing "The Star Spangled Banner."
In just a week, Destiny's Child stars Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams will reportedly join Beyonce for a medley of the group's biggest hits during the halftime show, which will air Sunday, February 3, from New Orleans.
As previously reported onAccessHollywood.com, a set list for the show was revealed earlier this week.
Beyonce will reportedly kick off her set with "Crazy in Love," and then be joined by Kelly and Michelle.
The reunited trio will reportedly then launch into their hits "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Survivor," and end with their new single "Nuclear."

Raven Symone Coming Out Tweet Followed Up By Nude Lesbian Pictures; [See] If It's The Disney Star Or A Copycat
By Staff Writer | August 28, 2013 10:09 AM EDT
Like Us on Facebook
After Raven Symone shocked the world with her coming out tweet, an alleged nude lesbian photo shoot of the former Disney star is surfacing.
One of the pictures shows a naked "Raven" in bed being straddled by a very tatted up woman with a blonde buzz cut. The pictures were taken by photographer Andrew Fennell and are apart of a photo series entitled "Dynasty Series."
Although the woman has a strong resemblance to the "That's So Raven" actress, she is just a look alike. The model actually goes by the name P.R. Rocket. The buzz cut model is Brittany Slam. More images can be found on Fennell's website were it can be confirmed that this is not Raven.
To clear up the rumors, reps from the "Dynasty Series" uploaded a post to the web entitled "Not So Raven Symone."
"I heard a rumor on twitter today that Raven Symone and Brittany Slam had a rather 'intimate' picture together. Hmmm…looks kinda familiar. That girl is quite hot, let me tell you!" said the post, according to Eben Gregory.
The "That's So Raven" starlet opening up about her love life came as a surprise to the public since last year she was very adamant about not sharing such "personal" information.
"I'm living my PERSONAL life the way I'm happiest," tweet Raven last May. "I'm not one, in my 25 year career to disclose who I'm dating. and I shall not start now. My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I'm dating to know. I'm not one for a public display of my life. That is my right as a HUMAN BEing whether straight or gay. To tell or not to tell. As long as I'm not harming anyone."
The Twitter rant of the former star of "The Cosby Show," who played Olivia, came right after the National Enquirer issued a story saying that she was living with her rumored girlfriend AzMarie Livingston, America's Next Top Model contestant who's androgyny is credited for mirroring that of supermodel Grace Jones.
Despite her equal rights testimony on the social media site, Raven still didn't reveal her status. Now, she bares all.
"I can finally get married! Yay government!" tweeted the childhood rapper of the 90's. "So proud of you," she added, referring to the US Supreme Court's ruling to overturn the Defense Marriage Act in June.
I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you

Canonical Sets Ubuntu 8.10, Taps KVM Virtualization
Commercial Debian Linux distributor Canonical has given its moniker to the next iteration of its Ubuntu Linux, code-named "Intrepid Ibex" in keeping with the silly names the Ubuntu project uses and probably coming to market as Ubuntu 8.10 in October. The company has also talked a bit more about the Ubuntu 8.10 feature set, its use of KVM virtualization, and a reseller deal it has with IBM to peddle the DB2 Express-C development database.
Canonical's chief executive officer and Ubuntu project founder, Mark Shuttleworth, made the Intrepid Ibex announcement to the Ubuntu development list. "During the 8.10 cycle we will be venturing into interesting new territory, and we'll need the rugged adventurousness of a mountain goat to navigate tricky terrain," Shuttleworth explained in his posting announcing the upcoming release. "Our desktop offering will once again be a focal point as we re-engineer the user interaction model so that Ubuntu works as well on a high-end workstation as it does on a feisty little subnotebook. We'll also be reaching new peaks of performance--aiming to make the mobile desktop as productive as possible."
Ubuntu 8.10's feature set will be set at the Ubuntu Developer Conference in Prague, Czech Republic, between May 19 and 23.

Android 4.4 field handheld features 3-inch thermal printer
Two Technologies's LTE-ready "N5Print" handheld runs Android on a Snapdragon 800 and has a built-in printer plus Smart Card, magstripe, and barcode support. Early smartphones were modeled in part on field-service handhelds, which in turn have increasingly imitated smartphones. This has been especially true in recent years as the product category has migrated from Windows Mobile and CE (and to a lesser extent plain Linux) to Android. In the past, handhelds, which are often available in commercial, as well as similar, but more robust military models, have trailed the current smartphone technology by several years. Yet, we're seeing and more Android handhelds that rival high end smartphones, such as Arbor's quad-core, 5.5-inch Gladius 5.

Roundtable releases shale gas resources report
- Malia Spencer
- Reporter- Pittsburgh Business Times
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
(Page 2 of 3)
- A regularly updated strategic research plan
- Competitive funding awards with peer review
- Transparency of funding and outcomes
- Adequate support and staffing for multiyear strategic research plans
The fund wouldn't necessarily be operated by an existing entity, Cohon said. Instead, the group looked to the Health Effects Institute in Boston — a research group funded by the Environmental Protection Agency and automakers that studies vehicle emissions — as a source of inspiration.
There are early discussion on what such a shale research fund would look like and who would staff it, Cohon said, adding that any fund is still months away. But, creating such an entity is a place where this region can take the lead on what is becoming a national issue, he said.
Cohon noted the roundtable does not have any sort of mandate to implement its recommendations. The group has already been meeting with legislative leaders at the state and federal level, as well as Gov. Tom Corbett. Feedback from policymakers has been positive, members of the group said. Roddey said Corbett was receptive to the recommendations.
The report recommends ensuring the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has enough staff to perform regulatory functions and public reporting of oil and gas activities annually, plus plans for subsequent years. Other recommendations include outlining policy research; updates to the 1961 Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Conservation Law; water management elements; and midstream development planning.
"While the roundtable has achieved general agreement on the report's value in informing decision makers, individual roundtable members may not agree on the details of every recommendation," the report said. "The final report reflects the careful deliberations and findings of the Shale Gas Roundtable; it does not necessarily reflect the views of the members' affiliated organizations or the Institute of Politics."

Did the State of Indiana have any idea what it was getting itself into? Reading the history of this particular law, the relatively quiet progress of the legislation, followed by the avalanche of criticism and boycotts, the answer seems almost certainly to be no. There's now even a backdraft of commentary that the criticism and boycotts are somehow hypocritical since 19 other states and the federal government have similar laws. And the state's hapless Gov. Mike Pence is claiming that Barack Obama voted for a similar law when he was in the Illinois state legislature. Indeed, Pence now says he will push for a new law to "clarify" the law that's gotten his state in all this trouble.

But all of this seems to miss the point. There are tipping point moments in which things that were once uncontroversial or unpunished suddenly become very controversial and bring in their wake a storm of backlash. What's most interesting is how these changes are often not incremental. They build slowly and then suddenly the terms are entirely different. It's not surprising that something like this would eventually happen. But just why it happened in this case and in this way is less than clear.

The fact that other states have so called "religious freedom restoration acts" is at best misleading. The movement to push these laws goes back at least two decades. But until quite recently they were not specifically, almost exclusively, focused on gays and lesbians. Two things have changed. In the last eighteen months, social conservatives have recognized that they've lost the public battle over gay rights. Marriage equality will almost certainly be the law of the land nationwide in the near future. And the rulings that set the stage for that change will likely knock down all remaining legally sanctioned discrimination against gays and lesbians in the coming years. So social conservatives have retreated to a defensive action of accepting legally sanctioned equality but trying to create a carve out of discrimination under the guise of 'religious liberty.' The second thing is Hobby Lobby and that the signal that the Supreme Court will accept a concept of religious liberty far more expansive than anything seen in the past.

But we don't need to look at RFRAs. Don't we go through this story almost every year in which some red or reddish state pushes through some anti-gay rights law? This happens every year like spring follows winter. But this time something is different. Yes, there have been boycotts before. In Indiana itself, business groups wary of bad publicity and boycotts played a role in beating back another effort to ban same sex marriages. But here you have a flood of proactive statements by different companies saying they'll shun the state. That seems to have created something of a rush to the exits (or entrances?) with various organizations which a few years ago likely wouldn't have touched this kind of controversy signing themselves up for the effort.

Now Gov. Pence is reduced to lamely complaining that his and the legislatures efforts have been misunderstood or distorted. "I just can't account for the hostility that's been directed at our state," Pence told the Indianapolis Star. "I've been taken aback by the mischaracterizations from outside the state of Indiana about what is in this bill." He can't even manage the standard, conservatives in my state are being victimized by the axis of gays and liberals. He seems genuinely surprised.

In the past, states could pass these bills as sops to social conservatives with little penalty other than disapprobation from people they didn't care about anyway. But that seems to have changed.

A former official with the South Carolina Republican Party said an improper dose of cough medicine was to blame for an incident in which he refused to let his wife out of their car, the Charleston City Paper reported Saturday.

Todd Kincannon, an attorney who briefly served as the executive director of the South Carolina Republican Party in 2010, allegedly refused to let his wifeout of their car after the couple got into an argument at a work function Thursday night, according to a police report obtained by the newspaper.

A Lexington County Sheriff's deputy responded to a "possible domestic incident" at about 10:21 p.m. at Kincannon's Columbia, S.C. home, according to the report. The report stated Kincannon's wife, Ashely Suzanne Griffith, told the deputy there had been an altercation in a Chick-fil-A parking lot on the drive home.

Griffith told the deputy that she asked to get out of their car after her husband began screaming at her, according to the police report. The report stated that Griffith said she hit her husband in the arm several times because he grabbed her to prevent her from exiting the car. She also told the deputy that Kincannon had threatened to kill himself if she left the vehicle.

Kincannon denied both grabbing his wife and threatening to kill himself, according to the report. A sheriff's department spokesman told the newspaper that Kincannon was ultimately not arrested or charged with any crime.

Kincannon later told the Charleston City Paper that the dispute happened because he'd taken an improper dose of Benzonatate, a medicine he'd been prescribed to treat a cough.

"Basically, I went completely crazy after taking it," he told the newspaper. "I don't even remember all of it. My wife called 911 because she was worried about me and my behavior was way out of character and erratic, and she was afraid for her safety and mine."

Kincannon is best known for his incendiary comments on Twitter, including calling House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) a "crabby cunt" back in 2011. He drew attention to himself as recently as last fall by suggesting anyone who contracted the Ebola virus be executed. The former GOP official no longer appears to have a Twitter account, however.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) harnessed major banks' reported threats to withhold funds from Senate Democrats' campaign arm as a fundraising tool in a pair of emails to supporters this weekend.

Citing anonymous sources, Reuters reported Friday that representatives from Citigroup and JPMorgan are withholding all or part of their contributions to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in an effort to get Warren and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) to soften their tone toward Wall Street. Each bank's political action committee can donate a maximum of $15,000 per year to the DSCC.

"They have taken their shot, but it will not work," Warren wrote Friday in an email to supporters that cited the Reuters report.

"I'm not going to stop talking about the unprecedented grasp that Citigroup has on our government's economic policymaking apparatus," she added. "I'm not going to stop talking about the settlement agreements that JPMorgan makes with our Justice Department that are so weak, the bank celebrates by giving their executives a raise. And I'm not going to pretend the work of financial reform is done, when the so-called 'too big to fail' banks are even bigger now than they were in 2008."

Warren urged supporters to respond by raising the $30,000 the banks allegedly threatened to withhold from the DSCC. Having surpassed that goal, the senator sent out another email blast Saturday asking her supporters to throw down with the big banks once more and raise another $30,000.

Angie's List, a company that publishes consumer reviews of local businesses, announced Saturday that it decided to stop a planned expansion project at its Indianapolis, Indiana headquarters because of the state's new religious freedom bill.

Indiana officials in recent days have scrambled to contain the fallout from the bill, which Gov. Mike Pence (R) signed into law on Thursday. Critics say the bill allows business owners to refuse to serve same-sex couples if they have a religious objection to doing so.

Angie's List had been planning to convert an old Ford assembly plant on Indianapolis' east side into more offices for its company campus, according to Reuters.

"We are putting the 'Ford Building Project' on hold until we fully understand the implications of the Freedom Restoration Act on our employees, both current and future," Angie's List CEO Bill Oesterle said in a statement, as quoted by Reuters. "Angie's List is open to all and discriminates against none and we are hugely disappointed in what this bill represents."

In an interview with the Indianapolis Star, Oesterle said he thought the legislation was a "national embarrassment" for Indiana. He also said a top executive for the company, who is gay, questioned his decision to move to Indiana to work for the company after the legislation was passed.

But Angie's List does not plan to pull out of Indiana entirely. Instead, Oesterle told the newspaper that the company didn't feel comfortable moving forward with a project that was promised tax credits from the state.

"We're going to be very vocal on this issue and I don't feel we can do that if we are taking state money," he told the Indianapolis Star. "We don't want to be bound by commitments in that deal given the current atmosphere in the state (government)."

Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) plans to announce as early as Monday that she'll challenge Republican Mark Kirk for his seat in the U.S. Senate, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Friday.

The newspaper had reported Thursday that Duckworth sent a letter to potential donors assuring them she knows in her "gut" she can win Kirk's seat.

A Kirk spokeswoman told the Sun-Times in a statement that "while he looks forward to a vigorous campaign, the senator believes there will be plenty of time for politics, and he is focused on fighting for veterans who have not received the treatment and respect they have earned from our government, as well as advocating for policies that encourage economic growth and job creation."

Duckworth is one of several lawmakers considering a challenge to Kirk, including Reps. Bill Foster (D-IL), Robin Kelly (D-IL) and Cheri Bustos (D-IL).

An Arizona lawmaker suggested Wednesday that Americans should be required to go to church on Sundays.

State Sen. Sylvia Allen (R) made the comment during a state Senate Appropriations Committee meeting on legislation concerning concealed weapons carry in public places, according to local TV station KNXV.

"And how we get back to a moral rebirth in this country, I don't know since we are slowly eroding religion at every opportunity that we have," Allen said, as quoted by KNXV. "Probably we should be debating a bill requiring every American to attend a church of their choice on Sunday to see if we can get back to having a moral rebirth."

She'd added that such a bill would "never happen," according to the Arizona Capitol Times. Allen later told the Capitol Times that she'd just made a "flippant comment."

But she explained that the reasoning behind the remark stemmed from her experience growing up in the 1950s, when she said more people went to church.

"I remember on Sundays the stores were closed," Allen told the Capitol Times. "The biggest thing is religion was kicked out of our public places, out of our schools."

Former NBA star Charles Barkley on Friday called for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to yank its March Madness Final Four tournament out of Indiana over a new law that protects business owners from being required to serve same-sex couples because of religious objections.

"Discrimination in any form is unacceptable to me," Barkley said in a statement released through his agent, as quoted by USA Today. "As long as anti-gay legislation exists in any state, I strongly believe big events such as the Final Four and Super Bowl should not be held in those states' cities."

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) signed the "religious freedom" bill into law Thursday.

The NCAA has said that it will go forward with plans to hold the Final Four in Indianapolis, although it is "especially concerned" about the possible effects of the law on its student-athletes and employees.

A former Alabama police officer was brought up on federal civil rights charges stemming from a February incident that left a visiting Indian grandfather partially paralyzed, the Justice Department announced Friday.

A federal grand jury handed down a one-count indictment against Eric Sloan Parker, 26, for allegedly injuring the man by slamming him to the ground. Parker subsequently turned himself in and was arrested on third-degree assault charges. He was later fired from the Madison, Ala. Police Department.

The indictment alleges Parker "deprived the man in Madison of his right under the U.S. Constitution to be secure from unreasonable seizures, which includes the right to be free from unreasonable force by someone acting under color of law," according to a Justice Department press release.

Sureshbhai Patel was visiting his son in Madison when Parker allegedly stopped him while he was walking in his son's neighborhood on Feb. 6. Graphic dash cam video of the stop showed an officer slamming Patel into the ground. Patel is identified only as "S.P" in the Justice Department press release.

The ex-police officer's attorney told the Associated Press that his client would plead not guilty to the federal charges.

"We are shocked, disappointed and overwhelmed by all the ways Eric Parker is coming under attack," attorney Robert Tuten told the AP by email. "However, we are looking forward to seeing the indictment and having our day in court."

Patel has also filed a civil lawsuit against Parker, according to the AP.

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said Friday that supporters of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) had inundated his office with "vulgar, rabid and adolescent-type phone calls" ever since he criticized the presidential candidate earlier this week, the Washington Post reported.

"The puerile language used is what most kids outgrow and move beyond when they reach sophomore year in high school," King wrote in a post on his Facebook page Friday morning. "Clearly, these Cruz supporters suffer from severe cases of arrested development."

King said it was "particularly shameful" that women and interns in his office had been subjected to the callers' "perverse rantings."

He said that Cruz was not responsible for all of his supporters' actions, but added: "Frankly, I can not imagine supporters of Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, or other candidates reacting so disgracefully."

A spokesman for Cruz declined to comment to the Washington Post.

On Monday, King said that Cruz was more like a "carnival barker" than the leader of the free world.

The CEO of the major science fiction and fantasy convention Dragon Con warned Georgia lawmakers of a massive industry boycott if the state passes a anti-gay, religious freedom bill.

The warning by the head of the Atlanta convention that claims attendance of over 50,000 came the same day that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) signed similar legislation in his state. Both bills would allow businesses to refuse to serve people based on religious objections, which critics argue would effectively let businesses discriminate against gays.

 "Should this bill become law, we will seek written assurances from all of our business partners that they will not participate in any discriminatory behavior on the basis of race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other point of identification. We have no intention now or in the future of supporting a business partner that discriminates," Dragon Con CEO Pat Henry said in a statement.

The future of the Georgia bill is uncertain. It was tabled by Georgia's House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, according to The Associated Press.

Prominent public figures, like Apple's CEO Tim Cook, and other business leaders have spoken out against similar legislation elsewhere. Major companies have said they plan to boycott or withdraw business in Indiana in protest of the fresh law there. The tabletop gaming convention Gen Con, in the lead up to the Indiana vote, threatened to boycott the state in protest. But Gen Con's convention contract isn't up until 2020.

Read the full statement below:

Dragon Con is proud of its long history of accepting all fans, no matter who they are today, or who they want to be during the convention. Which is why we are closely monitoring the religious rights bill currently under consideration by the Georgia House of Representatives. At the same time, we are working through the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Georgia Hotel and Lodging Association, which are actively lobbying against this discriminatory bill, to make our opinion known to Georgia legislators.

Unlike some conventions that have their headquarters outside the cities where they operate, Atlanta is the only home Dragon Con has ever had. Our founders and our convention leaders all have deep family roots in the metropolitan area. Over the last 29 years, we have seen the city change considerably, almost always for the better. We have great faith that our state's leaders and legislators will, eventually, do the right thing for all Georgians. Legislation that hurts one of us, hurts us all.

Should this bill become law, we will seek written assurances from all of our business partners that they will not participate in any discriminatory behavior on the basis of race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other point of identification. We have no intention now or in the future of supporting a business partner that discriminates.

The Justice Department on Friday brought federal civil rights charges against a University of Mississippi student who allegedly hung a noose on a statue of James Meredith, Ole Miss' first black student.

Charging documents identified the suspect in the Feb. 14, 2014 incident as Graeme Phillip Harris, a student at Ole Miss, according to a DOJ press release.

Harris was charged with one count of conspiracy to violate civil rights and one count of using threat of force to intimidate black students because of their race. He was accused of hanging a rope and a flag sporting the Confederate battle emblem around the neck of the Meredith statue.

Last winter, police had said they were close to bringing criminal charges against three freshmen students suspected of taking part in the racially charged vandalism. The university's Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity chapter also expelled three of its members suspected to have been involved in the incident, leading the fraternity's national organization to suspend that local chapter.

The names of the students in question were not released by either the police or the fraternity.

"This shameful and ignorant act is an insult to all Americans and a violation of our most strongly-held values," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement announcing the charges against Harris. "No one should ever be made to feel threatened or intimidated because of what they look like or who they are. By taking appropriate action to hold wrongdoers accountable, the Department of Justice is sending a clear message that flagrant infringements of our historic civil rights will not go unnoticed or unpunished."

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Thursday told a group of pastors and religious leaders that the debate over gay marriage was a symptom of a "moral crisis" in America and said he hoped for "another Great Awakening."

"Don't always look to Washington to solve anything," Paul said during a private prayer breakfast at the Capitol Hill Club.

"In fact, the moral crisis we have in our country — there is a role for us trying to figure out things like marriage — there's also a moral crisis that allows people to think that there would be some sort of other marriage."

Paul said earlier this month that allowing gay marriage "offends myself and a lot of people." He said he would prefer that homosexuals had an alternative "contract" that gave them "equivalency before the law," while preventing same sex nuptials.

"I've said this before, we need a revival in the country," Paul said on Thursday, as several in the room murmured in approval.

"We need another Great Awakening with tent revivals of thousands of people saying, 'reform or see what's going to happen if we don't reform,'" he said.

"Harry, this is Barack."

President Barack Obama surprised Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid by calling into the retiring Nevada Democrat's radio interview with KNPR.

"Well I'll be damned," Reid said. "What a guy."

The president effusively praised the long-reigning Senate Democratic leader's "curmudgeonly charm" and his actions "on a whole bunch of really tough issues," including to ward off a depression and passing health care reform.

"He's been one of my best parters and best friends," Obama said.

Reid returned the favor with equally effusive praise for the president, and marveled about how two men from humble backgrounds reached the top.

Both will leave office in January 2017.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is calling on Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchison (R) to veto an anti-gay "religious freedom" bill making its way through the state legislature in the aftermath of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) signing a similar bill into law.

Apple is open for everyone. We are deeply disappointed in Indiana's new law and calling on Arkansas Gov. to veto the similar #HB1228.

— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) March 27, 2015

Cook's tweet is the latest in a growing list of outraged responses by prominent figures and businesses to Pence signing the bill into law on Thursday. The legislation allows businesses to refuse serving gay people if those businesses have religious objections.

A number of major companies and public figures strongly criticized Pence signing the law. The CEO of Salesforce said Thursday his company was canceling its programs in Indiana over the law. The CEO of the ratings website Yelp said his company wouldn't expand into states that had laws like Indiana's.

Legislation similar to Indiana's religious freedom law is making passed the Arkansas state Senate, the Arkansas Times reported on Friday. The bill now moves to the state House.

The gay rights group The Human Rights Campaign is attempting to fight the Arkansas bill by running an advertisement in the San Jose Mercury News warning that the law would hurt recruiting for technology companies, according to The Washington Post. Hutchison is trying to bring new technology companies to Arkansas.

Idaho state Rep. Paul Shepherd (R) reportedly compared gay people to slave owners by noting that both were "good people" who made terrible decisions, Idaho Reports, a program of Idaho Public television, reported on Friday.

Shepherd's comments were made to a reporter from Idaho Reports who met with the congressman after his website was commandeered by a gay rights activist and turned into a hub for LGBT youth when Shepherd neglected to renew the site's domain.

"Slave owners were very good Christians and good people," Shepherd told the reporter, before noting that he was not not a fan of slavery. "I totally disagree with that."

Shepherd allegedly noted that the fight surrounding gay marriage was an example of how "good people" can be led astray by poor moral convictions.

"They (slave owners) weren't terrible rotten horrible people," Shepherd reportedly said. Shepherd added that they were simply people who made bad choices, before clarifying that "that's how I see gay people."

Shepherd has supported a resolution asking Congress to impeach federal judges who violate the U.S. Constitution by overturning same-sex marriage bans, the Associated Press reported.

According to Idaho Reports, Shepherd also said that despite the stress this fight over marriage equality has caused for him and his family, it's necessary to prevent a "civil war."

Dylan Hailey, the 21-year-old college student who took over the domain, told Shepherd he could get back his website if he made a donation to an LGBT advocacy group. Thus far, the website remains under Hailey's control.

Updated March 28 11:17 a.m.

Members of the University of Oklahoma's Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity learned the racist chant that got it kicked off campus at a leadership event sponsored by the national fraternity, President David Boren said Friday.

Boren said in a news conference that the the school's investigation into the local SAE chapter found frat members learned the chant four years ago during a leadership cruise sponsored by the fraternity's national organization. Local chapter members who attended that event then brought the chant back to OU, where they incorporated it into their pledging process, Boren said.

The OU president also read out a letter he sent to the national SAE organization seeking information as to whether the fraternity has looked into how widespread the chant was among its various local chapters.

"While there is no indication that the chant was part of the formal teaching of the national organization, it does appear that the chant was widely known and informally shared amongst members on the leadership cruise," Boren wrote in the letter.

Boren later said he thought there might be some "shared responsibility" for the chant between members of the local chapter and the national SAE organization. But when a reporter asked him whether a member of the national fraternity taught the chant to the local frat members, Boren said "No, I don't think so."

Two members of the local chapter who were identified as leading the chant were expelled earlier this month. Boren said 25 other members of the fraternity have been ordered to do community service and undergo sensitivity training.

When TPM called SAE's national organization for comment, a voicemail message said the fraternity's spokesman was traveling on business. The organization released a statement later Friday confirming that the frat members "likely" learned the chant while on the leadership cruise.

SAE executive director, Blaine Ayers, said in the statement that the national organization's internal investigation reached conclusions similar to what OU's probe found. But their investigation has turned up "no evidence" yet that the chant was widely shared among the broader national organization, Ayers said.

"We remain committed to identifying and rooting out racist behavior from SAE, and we are actively investigating all of our local organizations to determine whether there are issues in any other location," Ayers said in the statment. "We intend to conduct a thorough and complete investigation, and this will take time. However, we will share the results of our investigation when it is complete."

Voynov 'knows that he can be better,' says Lombardi
Oct 16, 2013, 8:28 PM EDT
After breaking out last year with a playoff scoring spree and then inking a six-year, $25 million extension, Slava Voynov knew he'd be facing big expectations for 2013-14.
So far, he hasn't met them.
Voynov, the Kings' 23-year-old defenseman, has struggled to start the season. While his offense has been OK — 1G, 1A through seven games — his defensive efforts haven't been. He's minus-2 on the year and was scrutinized during L.A.'s 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday for soft play on two Lightning goals.
"I think he knows that he can be better and that's the most important thing," Kings GM Dean Lombardi told the L.A. Times. "It's a huge adjustment for a young player, to get a long-term deal that's significant money. That's just the reality of the way it is. It's a huge adjustment for them and their life and life's priorities.
"We tend to overlook that."
Voynov finished last year's playoffs with six goals and seven assists in 18 games. He also had 25 points — three more than the team's top blue-liner, Drew Doughty — in 48 regular-season games, resulting in a huge raise that saw him go from earning $750,000 on his entry-level deal to $4.16 million annually on his new one.
As a result, there were whispers of complacency. Last week, Darryl Sutter called out Voynov's lack of preparation, suggesting his offseason workouts were less than stellar.
"He could've done more work this summer," Sutter told LA Kings Insider. "He's going to have to do some more work to get his minutes back."
On Tuesday, it looked like Voynov had done something to regain his time on ice. Sutter played the Russian rearguard over 25 minutes — a season high — and Voynov responded by scoring his first goal of the year.

It's still 'early days' here and we haven't yet decided upon our 'overall' plan of attack. So take your time, do that which you must and just ensure that you're ready when the bugle call for 'charge' with sabers drawn is sounded !
- Anoesis - Oct 17, 2013 at 1:05 AM
To me the bottom line is that $25 million should allow you to focus on your job. Most people have lots of worries to distract them from their best effort, particularly worries about money and paying the bills.
The big deal here seems to be finding a way to retain your competitiveness now that you don't have to worry about your next contract. Voynov better figure that part out, because right now he looks like somebody who has relaxed due to having secured that fat contract.

"To me the bottom line is that $25 million should allow you to focus on your job."
"Voynov better figure that part out, because right now he looks like somebody who has relaxed due to having secured that fat contract."
These two quotes show how very little you know about human nature. As a matter of fact, it indicates that you pretty much have a "black and white" view of the world.
Additional salary puts MORE pressure on a person to perform, not less. We have seen it time and again, not only in sports, but everyday life, where someone who is basically performing the same job but with a dramatic increase in salary cannot perform as well as they did previously due to the additional pressure.
Voynov is not "relaxing." How can you possibly "relax" in ice hockey? To me, your statements are not-well-thought-out rubbish.
And I have confidence Voynov will come around. Once he does "relax" off of the pressure he feels, he will be the player he was last season.

Bayelsa government to convert Government House to six-star hotel
by Stanley Azuakola
So after the sum of N24 billion was allegedly pumped into building a 'befitting' Bayelsa Government House, it turns out that the present occupant of the governors' office has no intention of stepping foot into the place.
The Gloryland Castle, one of the signature achievements of the former Bayelsa governor, Timipreye Sylva, for which he was so sufficiently pleased that he invited a CNN crew to a tour of the massive facility is considered too opulent by the present governor, Seriake Dickson, who has decided that rather than residing there, he would convert same to a hotel.
The Government House project was initiated by the former governor of the state and recently pardoned ex-convict, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, but his successor, Goodluck Jonathan allegedly didn't commit to it as he did not view it as a priority.
However his own successor in office, Timipreye Sylva, dedicated resources to the project, completed it and furnished it as well – an uncommon beauty in the heart of Yenagoa, just behind the currently used Government House.
The edifice contains several state-of-the-art sitting rooms, grand bedrooms with aesthetic furnishing, exceptional toilets with bravura fittings that place the facility in a world of its own.
So why isn't the Bayelsa governor, Seriake Dickson, moving into the palace despite the massive funds pumped into it.
In a display of modesty, Dickson said it was too much for just him.
"This castle was started by Chief Alamieyeseigha. Of course, as you know I was in the cabinet of Dr. Jonathan when he was governor. We, within that short period that we were in government, didn't think that completing the project as at that time was a priority. But when my immediate predecessor came on board, he managed to complete it.
"So he achieved the completion, including the furnishing and all that. Now upon my ascension into office, I of course made it clear from day one that there was no way I was going to stay in this type of place. It is simply too grandiose. It is way out of format with my own personal standard," he said.
The governor's resolve on the matter is simple – make it a part of the state government's tourism plan for the state. In that way, it becomes a revenue source. Hence, the governor plans to convert the opulent structure into a six-star hotel.
Hear him:
"We have decided to convert this to a 6-Star hotel. As it is, we have to suspend work. There is actually a lot of work going on in the upper floor. But in the next five to six months, around November to December I would like you to come to be part of the various tourism promotion activities that will come up at that time. Then, you are likely to meet a five or six-star hotel in this complex. Work is already ongoing. That is about it. I'm not staying here. I have no plan to stay here," he said.
Well done, Mr. Governor.

Fwd: [BIKEHUB] Money - the Root of All Contention
Date: Sun, Mar 15, 2015 at 8:58 AM
Tamsyn Bergmann writes in the Globe & Mail on a little-discussed aspect of the transit referendum. Of the three levels of government (Federal, Provincial, Municipal), the Municipal level has the fewest tax levers. This referendum is mostly about where transit money should come from, and who will be seen to raise the money. In this case, the Province of BC has forced the Municipalities to be the bad guys, and the public will respond in due course.
As to who supports and funds the NO campaign, aimed at starving transit of any new funding, I leave it to you to surmise whose profits are maintained, and whose philosophies are served if the public denies this funding. And who is watching carefully.
