NOR Junior Theater is getting a head start on the holiday season with "Whistle Down the Wind," a musical that glows with a subtle spirituality and the natural innocence of children, even if it's not about Christmas.
"We are one of the first to perform this show in the U.S. so this is very exciting," said Vickie Stricklind, the director. "The show and music are very challenging."
Based on a children's book by Mary Hayley Bell, the Jim Steinman-Andrew Lloyd Webber musical opens Friday in the East Bakersfield High School auditorium.
Although the original production was set in a small English village, the American version takes place in the backwoods of Louisiana in the 1950s. It shines a refreshing light on children and takes a look at their view of the world, and how it differs from that of grown-ups.
It begins when a young girl named Swallow (Corissa Garcia) finds a disheveled and exhausted stranger hiding in her father's barn. She has come into the barn seeking a safe place for some kittens she has just saved from being drowned.
Upon seeing The Man, as this character is known throughout the show, Swallow asks who he is and what he's doing there. "Jesus Christ," he gasps. She and her friends take his response literally and vow to protect him from the outside world.
Meanwhile, the townspeople -- the adults, that is -- have learned that an escaped murderer is on the loose. Believing that a criminal is hiding in their midst, they are determined to capture him.
Kyle Gaines portrays The Man, and it will be interesting to see how the 17-year-old, who played the energetic comic lead in Stars' "Fox on the Fairway" and had a supporting role in "Les Miserables," will handle this rather demanding role.
Jose Lopez, a newcomer to NOR productions, plays Amos, a character Stricklind describes as "sort of a James Dean-type, a bad boy with a good heart."
Kara Coughenour appears as Candy, the "bad girl" who's something of a rebel.
In all there are 40 young people in the cast. All of the singing is live and will be accompanied by a five-piece band.
"They (musicians) are onstage during the entire show," Stricklind said. "The set is very simple and with the band onstage, I am hoping to achieve a more raw sound and feeling for the time period."
Winds concert
A stirring performance with a full-bodied sound that's equally capable of conveying a quieter mood is something I can always count on from the Bakersfield Winds. A well-blended concert band, it includes mainly wind instruments augmented by a string bass, harp, organ and a strong percussion section.
On Monday evening at Olive Drive Church, the band will open its 2013-14 season under the direction of John Biller.
The program includes American composer David Holsinger's "On a Hymnsong of Philip Bliss," a piece that is by turns somber as well as triumphant; Gordon Jacob's "William Byrd Suite," an ode to Byrd, a respected 16th century English composer; Rossano Galante's "The Redwoods;" and "October" by Eric Whitacre. It will end with "Solid Men to the Front," a march by John Philip Sousa.
Now in its 11th season, the band is a nonprofit organization made up of about 60 music educators and professionals from Bakersfield and the surrounding area.
Admission to the concert is free, although a $5 donation is suggested.
Hearst Castle trip
An upcoming tour of Hearst Castle sponsored by the Arts Council of Kern will be via an 81-passenger double-decker bus with a stop for lunch at Vina Robles Winery in Paso Robles.
"Hearst only offers limited evening tours during the holiday season, so this is a rare treat to be able to go," said Taren Alexander, office manager.
The bus will leave from the Chevron building on Camino Media at 10:30 a.m. Dec. 8 and return about 10:30 p.m. that evening. The interior of the castle will feature Christmas decorations and docents wearing styles of the 1930s.
Wine will be served on the bus, and Alexander emphasized that all passengers must be age 21 or older. Tickets are $150 per person.
This is the council's second ArtVentures trip; the first was the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley last summer.
In an earlier interview, Anthony Goss, president of the Arts Council, said the events are designed as fundraisers and are intended as a way of building memberships.
Need a grant?
The Arts Council of Kern now is accepting applications for its 2014 community grants. The grants are funded by money given to the council annually by the Board of Supervisors.
"We are looking for inspirational projects in all arts disciplines from all manner of organizations and individuals in Kern County," said Alexander.
The deadline for applications is Jan. 17. The amount of the individual grants depends upon how many projects are approved, although none will receive more than $1,500.
Preference is given to organizations that have not received funding from the council in the past three years.
Arts organizations that receive county funding are not eligible unless they are collaborating with another group that is not county funded.
In general, the council seeks projects that promote the development of artistic standards or enhance greater arts awareness in the community. Preference is given to innovative arts programming, especially in underserved and under-funded areas of the county.

Mamma Mia! Brosnan Was a Bad Choice
By Chris Hicks Deseret News
OK, what idiot decided Pierce Brosnan could sing in "Mamma Mia"? Seriously, I really want to know.
Can it be the guy who cast "Camelot" in 1967? Is he still around? The guy who thought Vanessa Redgrave would be a better Guinevere than Julie Andrews and that Franco Nero could sing Lancelot better than Robert Goulet?
You know, the same guy who cast "Paint Your Wagon" in 1969 with those grand tunesmiths Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin?
At least when Deborah Kerr was cast in "The King and I" (1956) and Natalie Wood signed on for "West Side Story" (1961) and Audrey Hepburn landed "My Fair Lady" (1964), the producers had the good sense to hire Marnie Nixon to dub their singing.
Brosnan, who couldn't carry a note on an iPod, has no less than two close-up warbling solos in "Mamma Mia." And he butchers them. It would have been more musical to have his fingers scraping a chalkboard.
I know movie musicals are a rare species these days, so perhaps it was difficult to get a well-known actor with pipes who could play Meryl Streep's boyfriend of 20 years ago.
Several people have suggested to me that Hugh Jackman could have done it. True, he's a fine actor and a very good singer … but he's also Streep's junior by two decades. Sorry, he's too young to play a former '70s hippie.
But how about these guys?
— ANTONIO BANDERAS, in addition to being the most recent "Zorro" and a swashbuckling feline in the "Shrek" films, earned a Tony nomination for singing and dancing in the Broadway musical "Nine."
— MANDY PATINKIN, best known to moviegoers as the sword- wielding Spaniard who seeks revenge in "The Princess Bride" ("My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die") and to TV-watchers as the lead detective on the first two seasons of "Criminal Minds," is a respected singer with several CDs under his belt.
— KEITH CARRADINE may have a lower profile these days (he's been doing more stage work than films), but as one of a trio of second- generation acting brothers (he and David and Robert are the sons of longtime horror star John Carradine) he has plenty of talent, and he earned kudos for starring as the title character in "Will Rogers Follies" on Broadway. He also won an Oscar for composing "I'm Easy," which he sang in the movie "Nashville" (1975).
— JOHN TRAVOLTA is perhaps the most obvious choice for producers who want a big star — and he wouldn't have had to do this one in drag and a fat suit (as he did in "Hairspray").
But the best choice, nay, the perfect choice, is someone who is not quite as well known as those guys.
— VICTOR GARBER is probably best-known to television fans as Jennifer Garner's father on "Alias" a few years ago, and today he plays the title character's boss in the current TV series "Eli Stone" — in which he occasionally gets to show off his song-and- dance talent. And back in 1973, Garber's first movie role was as Jesus in the musical "Godspell." Plus, he just happens to be the same age as Streep.
Of course, there was another option for "Mamma Mia" producers. They could have dubbed Pierce Brosnan's voice!
Is Marnie Nixon still available?

Our Favourite Shop (Bonus Tracks)
Released: Jun 2007
Label: Decca International
Practically unheard of in the U.S.A., the Style Council's second album was a huge, No. 1 hit in Britain. Those who can bear the thought of a socialist lounge-revival protest album will find much to savor on this remastered double CD, including such key Paul Weller B-sides as "The Piccadilly Trail," "Spin Driftin'" and "Ghosts of Dachau." While many tracks deal with politics and romance, "A Man of Great Promise" is about Weller's old friend dying. The unstoppable single "Shout to the Top" still sounds like the best thing ever played in your mother's jazzercize class.

Jan 7, 2012I hate this game, it's the worst call of duty of all time the multiplayer sucks and so does the campaign. there are only 2 good things about this game. 1: support. 2: zombies. Just play the other cods and skip this one.
Call of Duty: World At War needs better character development and more "oh my God" moments. However, it's still a terrific first-person shooter. The combat is tight, the presentation shines and the multiplayer, particularly Nazi Zombie mode and co-op campaign, will keep you blasting enemy soldiers for weeks.
Treyarch did a remarkable job of breathing new life into the WWII shooter. They followed the conventions outlined by Infinity Ward to a tee and, as a result, created a shooter that is every bit as good as last year's entry. Of course, there isn't a whole lot of innovation this time around, but the increased Multiplayer options, new settings, and great enemy A.I. should more than satisfy all but the most jaded Infinity Ward fanboys.
Call of Duty: World at War is a solid entry to the franchise, offering some pretty intense gameplay and nice new online features. However, the return to WWII means that it feels like a game you've played before.

When I roamed the streets of Paris, I was in awe of the architecture, the art museums and the history of France, but when I stopped in restaurants to sample their fare, I kept encountering entrees taken from the parts of cows I would generally consider to be reserved for dog food.
What I saw listed on the menus could have hardly been more repulsive to me if the offering had come straight out of a cookbook written by Hannibal Lecter.
But does the fact that much of the tastes of French chefs are offensive to me make French culinary arts sinful? Of course not!
Granted, I ate a lot of fried potatoes on that trip, but I was not forced to order a plate of intestines anymore than the people sitting around me with smug looks on their faces were forced to join me in my purely American penchant for dipping my fries into ketchup.
Just asking a waiter for a bottle of ketchup made them look like I had suggested something obscene, but there was usually a dusty bottle in the back reserved for uncouth American tourists.
People are different. And far from being a bad thing, those differences are often what make us want to travel great distances to see and to experience different cultures.
I had no desire to become a French citizen, or to become a citizen of any of the other nations I have visited (OK, maybe Italy), because I am American by birth and by choice, but I have no need to say that everyone on earth should be American, nor do I feel that someone is wrong for being German, English, Greek or Egyptian.
Why then are heterosexuals so threatened by homosexuals that they will line up by the thousands to buy fried chicken?
I understand that gay sexual conduct is distasteful to many people, and the obvious solution to that is not to have gay sex. There are, after all, other choices on the menu. In the gay community, this is not simply seen as public opposition to same-sex marriage but rather a summary rejection of homosexuals. Many articles in the national media detail how Dan Cathys political donations end up supporting a proposed law in Uganda, which would allow for the death penalty in some cases of homosexuality, and lobbying groups seeking to make homosexuality one of the criteria in refusing visas to foreign visitors.
After seeing the lines forming last Wednesday at Chick-fil-A in Springfield, I realized how vital it is for our City Council to add sexual orientation to our non-discrimination policies.
Honestly, I cant believe that this is politically controversial in 2012, but the display of homophobic prejudice masquerading as either religious fervor or advocacy of free speech makes it evident that it is not safe to be gay in Springfield.
And to my Christian sisters and brothers who continue to point to the condemnation of homosexuality in Romans Chapter 1 (the one and only mention of homosexuality in the New Testament), please let me point out to you that in that list of sins Paul includes such things as gossip, envy and talking back to your parents, and concludes in the first verse of Chapter 2, saying, Therefore you have no excuse, whoever you are, when you judge others; for in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.
Be honest with yourself. Your prejudice never had anything to do with either religion or free speech and it cant really be about fried chicken, especially when there is now a Popeyes in Springfield. Bon Appétit!

Miley Cyrus Caught in Bed With Justin Bieber [VIDEO]
Miley Cyrus has released a video that seems to show the two after a long night of who knows what.
Miley Cyrus has released a video that seems to show the two after a long night of who knows what.
The world is getting its first peek at Miley Cyrus' upcoming Bangerz tour -- and it looks exactly like you think it would!
Singer Miley Cyrus has caused more controversy by smoking what is thought to be cannabis while on stage at an awards ceremony.
The 2013 MTV European Music Awards took place in Amsterdam (Nov. 10), with lots of American pop stars taking home the biggest honors of the night.
Miley Cyrus is hitting the road on Valentine's Day as part of her Bangerz Tour in support of her chart-topping album of the same name. The twerking queen plans to make it an event and an experience for her Smilers.
We all know that Miley Cyrus is known worldwide, but I had no idea Miley was known Galacticlly as well.
She went from a little girl to a megastar that everyone loves to hate.
Miley's got back.
Miley Cyrus appeared on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' this week to promote 'Bangerz' and to show off her "gets it" personality. The singer performed an a cappella version of 'We Can't Stop' as the center square in a 'Brady Bunch'-style grid.
Miley Cyrus' latest photo shoot for Terry Richardson, who directed her 'Wrecking Ball' video, is her raciest and raunchiest yet. We know, that's saying a lot, since Miss Miley has been letting it all hang out as of late.
We finally have a reaction from the NBA legend Michael Jordan to Miley Cyrus' horrible '23' video. MJ responds the exact why I did.
It is rumored that Miley Cyrus made an announcement at the BET Hip Hop awards that she was pregnant with rapper Juicy J's Baby.

molecules are quite small, resulting in large rotational energy splittings. Hydride molecules are extremely important for astronomy for several reasons. First, the large energy difference between the rotational levels makes them efficient coolants in dense gas. Also, because hydrogen is the most abundant element, hydride compounds are common in diffuse and dense clouds. Moreover, hydride species are the basic building blocks of interstellar chemistry. Understanding their abundances and distribution is key to chemical modeling. But not all hydride species are known interstellar molecules primarily because their exact transition frequencies have not yet been measured.
Future research in this largely unexplored spectral region is likely to yield additional spectral transitions and continuum bands of interest to the passive services. Administrations are urged to protect the passive services from harmful interference, particularly those bands to be used by ALMA (275-375 GHz, 385-500 GHz, 602-720 GHz, and 787-950 GHz).
Table 2.1 lists some important submillimeter molecular tracers, their frequencies, and their significance for astronomy.
Earth Exploration-Satellite Service
EESS (passive) currently uses spectrum in the range between 275 and 3000 GHz for several important measurements focusing on improving our understanding of the atmosphere and providing information needed by policy makers. A list of a few of these uses is given in Table 2.3. Table 2.2 gives a corresponding list of representative bands associated with these measurements. The list in Table 2.2 is not exhaustive. As in the case of radio astronomy, these measurements cannot be made in other bands because pressure-broadened transitions of different atmospheric constituents are being observed. In light of this and recent advances in relevant technologies, EESS use of this portion of the spectrum is expected to increase significantly. It is therefore important to protect EESS use in this region of the spectrum.
TABLE 2.3 Typical EESS Uses of Spectrum from 275 to 3000 GHz
|Mapping of ozone, polar stratospheric clouds, chlorine sources
|Three-dimensional (3D) mapping of ozone in the stratosphere to understand current ozone distribution and mechanisms for its depletion
|Cloud ice and frozen precipitation
|Key variable in the understanding of the water cycle, Earth's energy budget, and the effect of cloud feedback on the climate, viewed in window regions around absorption features from gaseous constituents
|Upper troposphere and stratospheric water vapor
|Key aspect of the water cycle and important for determining climate feedback effects on radiative forcing in the presence of increasing greenhouse gases. Because multiple bands are used with varying sensitivity to water vapor, this use has varying applicability as a function of instrument scan type (nadir vs. limb) and water vapor distribution
|Stratospheric temperature
|Three-dimensional (3D) mapping of stratospheric temperature for understanding atmospheric dynamics
|Upper tropospheric pollution
|Understanding of distribution and transport of pollutants in the upper troposphere
|Trace gases
|Three-dimensional (3D) mapping of key atmospheric constituents (e.g., CO, SO2, HCl, BrO, N2O) tied to carbon cycle, global climate, pollution, and atmospheric transport
NOTE: This list presents some significant uses of the spectrum but is not exhaustive.

Inspired by individuality and personal style, the Gap fall-winter 2014 ad campaign taps another set of recognizable faces. Elizabeth Moss, Jena Malone, Zosia Mamet and the legendary Angelica Huston pose for the images. The theme of the new advertisements is to dress normal, with normal being relative for each person but Gap's staples are still the focus of the images with black denim, easy outerwear and tops. The collection aims to celebrate being confident in dressing comfortably and the instruction to 'Dress Normal' as part of its tagline sends the message that stylists everywhere should dress for themselves.
As a part of collaboration with For Love & Lemons Jena created stunning lingerie collection, which you can buy here.You can also read the interview with Jena lead by For Love & Lemons here.
We are happy to present our latest passion project collaboration Flower Hopes. Flower Hopes is a Skivvies capsule collection we created with Jena Malone and her band The Shoe. The Shoe song "Dead Flower Hopes" inspired the collection, which includes beautiful macrame applique bralettes, bodysuits, and panties all in unusual flower shades. Our collection like the Dead Flower Hopes song is intended to empower women to celebrate their bodies and feel beautiful in their skin. We hope our capsule collection will inspire women to look to themselves to find confidence peace in their own unique beauty. Please enjoy the Dead Flower Hopes music video.
Jena showed off her fit figure in a sheer white ensemble from For Love & Lemons while attending the For Love & Lemons Annual SKIVVIES Party on August 1. That same evening, she stripped down to the lingerie while performing with her band The Shoe as they served as the musical guest for the night. Big thanks to Kelly for donating some photos.

Fire Emblem: Awakening
What do you think should be the Canon Marriage Setup
Chrom x Sumia and Tharja x Male Avatar are the main ones I can see as Canon. Chrom/Sumia is obvious not only for the opening, but also various in-game hints. Male Avi/Tharja is also hinted in-game, but that's mostly because of Tharja's in-game description. Anyone else is pretty much fair game.
I am MnK Xashowd. Official Darkrai of the Pokemon X/Y Boards.
3DS FC: 3695-0746-1582. Xashowd. PM me if you add me.
I accidentally paired Chrom to Sully before I realized exactly how the marriage system worked, but after that I've been more selective:
Vaike / Miriel
Gaius / Cordelia
Lissa / Player
Working on
Lon'qu / Say'ri
Cherche / Virion
"Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see." - Alfred Glaser
From looking at the characters, these are the fathers that I think most look like the child.
Lon'qu - Owain
Stahl - Inigo
Gregor - Brady
Kellam - Kjelle
Chrom - Cynthia
Gaius - Severa
Vaike - Gerome
Libra - Yarne ?
Virion - Laurent
Henry - Noire ?
Ricken - Nah
Yarne and Noire were the hardest to decide on, but I think Noire's hair is pretty similar to Henry's and she's kinda got his nose (although a lot of the noses look like that).
So that was Sumia in the opening? I kept trying to get a close look at her but I wasn't sure. Of course even without that Chrom + Sumia is kinda obvious.
Flavia and Basilio seem to be canon.
I had a thread like this recently and someone told me Inigo + Severa is implied.
Those are the only so-called canon ones I can think of.
I thought about pairing Ricken with Panne since it kept saying how animals liked Ricken and Panne was half rabbit (that sounds racist somehow...) but I looked up their support and in all three she doesn't seem to like him very much; she seems annoyed by him.
Lissa + Frederick feels right to me, but I can't say I've seen any evidence for it. Maybe I just have a tendency for the "princess + bodyguard" pairing after Sacred Stones.
Tharja and Henry seem kinda similar in nature.
Not sure about Maribelle. She looks down on common folk, so I was thinking about Virion since he's a classy noble. But then Ricken was the one who risked his life to save her, so I'm not sure.
To be honest, I'm still not sure about most characters. I can't tell who would be a good mate for Sully, I can't tell who Panne would like, who would be a good match for perfectionist scholar Miriel, I can't tell who would be the best to help Cordelia get over Chrom, or who's good for Lon'qu's fear of women or Libra's lack of self-esteem. Stuff like that.
Laoni posted...
Also, same with Basilio, he can only be paired with FeMU.
I thought Basilio was supposed to go with Flavia? Other than MU they can only support each other.
"The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense." -Tom Clancy
earthmaster3 posted...
The only ones even hinted at being canon are Sumia x Chrom because of he opening CG or Chrom x Olivia because Inigo
Inigo and Severa aren't hinted at, he wants to marry her by A Support and she's very much interested in him.
FE:A-MU/Olivia, Chrom/Sumia, Lissa/Vaike, Lon'qu/Cordelia, Gaius/Maribelle, Donnel/Nowi, Riveria/Sully, Panne/Stahl, Miriel/Ricken, Tharja/Henri, Cherche/Virion
VeryAngryKirby posted...
I picked Lissa x Frederick, because Frederick was Lissa's "crush" or something.
They certainly are the best fit in my mind because of what she says when you S rank their support.

They can support each other, but they can't get married. They can only get married to Avatar

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Lovie Smith talks about making the Tampa Bay Buccaneers relevant again.
And, the third coach the struggling franchise has hired to try to end a playoff drought that's grown to six seasons doesn't think it will take nearly as long as last year's 4-12 finish might suggest.
Smith not only has a proven track record as an NFL head coach, but inherited a talented nucleus the club began accumulating under Raheem Morris and later Greg Schiano, who was fired after going 11-21 during a tumultuous two-year stint.
Players have embraced the change, welcoming Smith's calm, low-key style after feeling stifled by Schiano, the ex-Rutgers coach whose hands-on, in-your-face approach seemed more suited for colleges than the pros.
"I'm not going into meetings saying: 'Hey guys, we were 4-12 last year, we've got to get to 5-11, we've made improvement,'" said Smith, who went 81-63, won three division titles, advanced to two NFC championship games and made one Super Bowl appearance in nine seasons with the Chicago Bears from 2004-2012.
"No, you talk about winning the division, making Raymond James Stadium a place that people don't want to come and play at," he added. "It's all about winning."
Smith and new general manager Jason Licht discarded Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis and his $16 million annual salary, providing additional salary cap space to overhaul the roster in free agency. Quarterback Josh McCown, pass rusher Michael Johnson, cornerback Alterraun Verner, defensive tackle Clinton McDonald, and offensive linemen Anthony Collins and Evan Dietrich-Smith were key additions.
The team's top three draft picks - receiver Mike Evans, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins and running back Charles Sims - also figure to get opportunities to contribute to an offense that ranked 30th in scoring and dead last in passing and total yardage in 2013.
Chicago excelled on defense under Smith, who hopes to lead the Bucs back to prominence with a version of the Cover 2 scheme Tampa Bay popularized under Tony Dungy in the late 1990s before winning the franchise's only Super Bowl championship under Jon Gruden 12 years ago.
The Bucs haven't won a playoff game since.
Smith is counting on the 35-year-old McCown, a career backup coming off his best pro season while filling in for an injured Jay Cutler, to make a difference on offense.
"He's a vet. He knows how to lead," Smith said, adding that he's confident he and Licht have assembled a roster talented enough to challenge Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and Cam Newton in the quarterback-driven NFC South.
"We feel like we have the right guys competing for certain positions," Smith said. "They're definitely ready to change the culture and become a relevant team again."
Some story lines to follow in training camp:
THE FRAZIER FACTOR: Smith hired former Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier, another one-time Dungy assistant, as defensive coordinator. The Vikings fired him after last season, and he's looking forward to working with Pro Bowl tackle Gerald McCoy, linebacker Lavonte David, safeties Dashon Goldson and Mark Barron, as well as newcomers Johnson and Verner.

I got engaged yesterday.
Welcome to Placebo FX Makeup - Horror, gore, and character special effects cinema makeup work, with an underpinning dedication to service.
Placebo FX Makeup is run by and consists solely of myself, Steph Koza.
I've been in the field for nearly six years now, and continue to love every minute of it.
With a specialty in horror and gore, I have done work in everything from aliens to fairies.
I've enjoyed doing custom makeup work for movies ranging from indie to full budget, and ranging from basic wounds to full non-human characters.
I also have a passion for scaring people half to death. As a result, I've been working in haunted houses as an actress since I was about quite young and have more recently been doing makeup for one of the top haunted houses in the state.
Now, I hope you enjoy taking a look through the various pieces of my work that are available in the photo galleries above. This is my passion, and I enjoy allowing people to take a walk through my, admittedly somewhat strange, mind.
I currently reside in a suburb of Los Angeles, CA, and actively commute to sites all over the LA basin and beyond.

Union minister for information and broadcasting and environment Prakash Javadekar on Friday stated that paid news has become a "menace" and that it has to be done away with. He was responding to questions at a press conference held at Doordarshan Kendra in Worli.
"Paid news and private treaties are matters of concern because they endanger media freedom. Stalwarts like Lokmanya Tilak had fought for the freedom of the press and their sacrifice should not be allowed to go waste," he observed. The issue of paid news relating to election coverage was before the Supreme Court and hence he would not like to comment on it, he said. However, the issue of paid non-election news could be tackled now.
Javadekar interacted with the officials of Doordarshan and sought suggestions from them on improving television coverage. "I want to make Doordarshan channels the most-watched channels in the country. We will make adequate provisions in the budget and also recruit fresh talent. The freeze on recruitment will be lifted. I want to attract the best talent in Doordarshan and make its channels the first-preference of viewers. I have myself taken part in several Doordarshan programmes in the past and I am keen on making it and AIR number one in the country," he stated.
Replying to a question, he said the issue of permitting private FM channels to broadcast news was under active consideration of the government. "They may be allowed to broadcast news provided by PTI and UNI," he said, adding that there would be an improvement in advertisements released by DAVP.
"We wanted a campaign on desertification and for this we invited entries from people as part of crowd sourcing. The results were amazing. The winning entry will now be released through DAVP. Government ads should be made interesting," he stated. Prasar Bharati would be made an autonomous and vibrant institution, he said, adding that his ministry's website would have a "Minister's Corner" in which the public and staff of Doordarshan, Prasar Bharati and AIR could post their comments and suggestions.

CHAPTER 5 Safety Risk Management SRM is the core process behind SMS. It is through SRM that an airport will be able to deter- mine and classify risks to develop appropriate risk mitigation strategies. According to FAA AC 150/5200-37, "SRM is a systematic, explicit, and comprehensive approach for managing safety risk at all levels throughout the airport."(1) The SRM process ensures the following: � Hazards and other safety issues are identified and documented. The associated risks are mit- igated, monitored, and controlled � Risk is determined, assessed, and classified. Unacceptable risk is mitigated � Corrective actions are taken after accidents and incidents � The effectiveness of the risk mitigation strategies is monitored and assessed � There is continuous progress toward improving safety Realistically, some risk must be accepted. How much is accepted or not accepted by the air- port organization is still a prerogative of the Accountable Executive. This chapter provides some recommendations on risk tolerability that may be used by airports. When an Accountable Exec- utive decides to accept a risk, the decision should be coordinated with the affected personnel and stakeholders, and then documented so that, in the future, everyone will know and understand the elements of the decision and why it was made. The SRM process and its five steps are explained in this chapter. In addition, this chapter also describes how to use the risk matrix, presents a list of common airport hazards with associated risks, and describes a complete example of the SRM process for several airport hazards. 5.1 The SRM Process SRM is a process for controlling risk in an organization.

SLIDELL - Detectives in St. Tammany Parish are investigating a death from last week that they suspect is heroin-related.
Authorities say the case is one of a growing number this year, indicating a climb in the drug's reach and deadly use.
'He came to us and said, 'I don't think I can do this alone. I need help,'' said Larry Ryan about his son Kevin.
But even though the 23-year-old did get help in rehab, his family says he fell victim to heroin in July. His drug problem, and his death, were a shock to Ryan's family, who says two days before his overdose, the quiet guy his mother called 'Angel Boy' had just switched his major at Southeastern and said he was proud of himself for getting back on the right track.
Ryan's dad said, 'People around here, and especially parents, they need to be aware of what exactly is going on.'
What authorities say is going on is an increase in heroin possession arrests, heroin overdose scares and 12 confirmed heroin-related deaths across the parish this year to-date. Three of those were in the city limits of Mandeville, six were in Slidell, where Ryan was from. There were eleven total in all of 2012 and that's what Slidell Police Chief Randy Smith says is alarming.
'We want the parents to realize that this is dangerous and we've seen some young adults lose their lives over the experimental stages of heroin,' said Smith.
Police attribute the uptick in the drug's presence to prescription pills becoming less available and more expensive. It's something Ryan's family wishes they would have been warned about sooner.
'When he was in rehab, they told him look around the room. A year from now, at least three of ya'll won't be here anymore,' said Ryan's father.
Now Ryan's family wants their loss to be other families' lesson.
Slidell Police say many of the heroin-related deaths have involved young people who had gotten out of rehab within the past six months. Apparently, they tried the drug again, in the same dosage they were taking prior to getting clean.
Ryan's family and friends have started a Facebook page to keep his memory and kindness alive. The page, www.facebook.com/kevinryan.inked.7, isa place for people to post a good deed they have done for someone else,which they'veasked that person to pay the good deed forward to another, all in Kevin's name.

Delayed Gratification
Brandon Webb could give you 22 starts and win 14 games.
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- One of the things which separates humans from the animal world is our ability to delay gratification. While most players will begin their 2010 major league baseball season during the first week in April, there are a number of players, some valuable, who will either spend that first week on the disabled list or in the minors.
Just because they can't be in your Opening Day lineup, doesn't mean you should ignore them. Here are 10 players, who won't be ready to play on April 5th, but could still help you this season.
Brandon Webb, SP, Arizona (ADP 137.5)
- He's a former "ace" who is being drafted in the 11th or 12th round. If he's healthy, and he says his arm is feeling good, that's a great spot to take a chance on a guy who could give you 22 starts and win 14 games.
Pedro Alvarez, 3B, Pittsburgh (ADP 232)
- The current Pirates third baseman, Andy LaRoche, is merely a "place-holder" until Alvarez is ready for "the show." LaRoche, who was once a top prospect but is now just suspect particularly defensively, might be shipped to Oakland sometime before the trade deadline. By then, Alvarez, who hit 27 HR last season between Lynchburg and Altoona, might be ready.
Carlos Beltran, OF, New York Mets (ADP 118.2)
- Beltran won't be back until sometime around mid-May, but if he comes back at 100% he could still give you 20 HR and 75 RBI. However, don't expect him to run much anymore.
Brad Lidge, RP, Philadelphia (ADP 487)
- Lidge hasn't been sharp in spring training, but if he is healthy (knee, elbow) he could return to his 2008 form (41 save in 41 chances). He is the definition of "low-risk, high-reward" since his ADP is in the free agent area (a normal draft is 25 rounds x 12 teams which equals 300 players).
Russell Martin, C, Los Angeles Dodgers (ADP 140.6)
- He will likely miss a couple of weeks at the beginning of the season, but Joe Mauer proved that you can still be valuable even missing the entire month of April. More importantly, Martin has to return to his 2007 batting form when he hit 19 HR, knocked in 87 and hit .293. He brings the ability to steal double-digit bases from a position where that is rare.
Buster Posey, C, San Francisco (ADP 1425)
- He's a longshot to make the Giants after the team re-signed Bengie Molina, but should San Francisco fall out of the race, he could be the first call up. He batted .321 at AAA Fresno and has yet to hit less than .273 in his career. Has a quick release and threw out 41% of attempted base-stealers.
Jose Reyes, SS, New York Mets (ADP 32)
- Reyes will remain in New York over the next few weeks and have his thyroid levels tested regularly. He won't be able to exercise normally until his levels return to normal, and the timetable is two-to-eight weeks for that portion. He is definitely "high-risk, high-reward" because he's still being drafted in the third-to-fourth round despite the illness.
Carlos Santana, C, Cleveland (ADP 227)
- He'll likely start the season in AAA Columbus, but given the quality of catching on the team's roster could easily be up by June 1st. He hit 23 homers and knocked in 97 at Akron last year. Think of a "Matt Wieters type" rookie season.
Stephen Strasburg, SP, Washington (ADP 187)
- He's thrown five scoreless innings in spring training, but all indications are that the team will send him to the minors after his next start. This has all the makings of a "financial decision." They'll keep him in the minors just long enough to delay his arbitration/free agency ability by a year (June 1st). If you are in a keeper league, you don't care when he comes up, you'll wait patiently.
Chien-Ming Wang, SP, Washington (ADP 1050)
- Like Lidge he'll be a free agent on Draft Day. He three his first 25 pitches on Monday and was pain free. Still, his return is a while away, probably late May at best. His upside, however, is that he was a 19-game winner in 2006 and 2007 and a solid fantasy value if healthy.

Im a newbie and just getting into the who wordpress thing… I very much got the hang of css… I was wondering when it comes to wordpress template creation is the majority of the work done with css? or do i need to be a 'wordpress guru'???
The majority of work is done in the html area, using wordpress's custom php templating system. Once you're head around the basic concept of the wordpress loop, and begin to learn the template tag's, you'll be there =)
Css is nothing, I would suggest you learn some php and make the WordPress codex your bible.
If you're creating a basic wordpress theme, it really doesn't take a whole lot of PHP knowledge. You just need to kind of have a grasp on the basic Wordpress functions listed at the Wordpress codex. I'd say strong skills in HTML /CSS will take you farther there… However, if you're talking about building Wordpress themes commercially, or for a site like TF, that's a different story. You need to have a solid grasp on everything from HTML /CSS to PHP .

Heat rally in final seconds of OT to beat Warriors
OAKLAND, Calif. Chris Quinn hit a tying 3-pointer with 7.1 seconds left in overtime, Michael Beasley stole the ensuing inbounds pass and made the decisive free throw, and the Miami Heat pulled off a wild 130-129 comeback win over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.
Jamal Crawford missed a running jumper at the buzzer and sprawled himself on the court in frustration as the Warriors dropped their seventh straight game, one they had in their grasp until the waning moments. Crawford is winless since joining Golden State in a trade from New York on Nov. 21 that sent Al Harrington to the Knicks.
Crawford scored six of his 40 points in overtime and dished out seven assists, but his team fell short again.
Udonis Haslem scored on a putback for Miami at the buzzer of regulation to force the extra session.
With his team up 125-123 with 28.8 seconds left in OT, Golden State's Ronny Turiaf swatted Dwyane Wade for his fifth blocked shot of the game. Wade converted a three-point play with 15.1 seconds to go that cut it to 127-126 before Crawford hit two free throws on the other end.
Wade finished with 37 points and 13 assists, and Haslem and Shawn Marion each had 21 points. Beasley, who jumped in front of Andris Biedrins' inbounds pass at the end, added 19 points and six rebounds off the bench.
The Heat are 2-2 on their five-game West Coast swing that ends Wednesday at Utah. Miami lost 97-96 to the Clippers in Los Angeles on Saturday, so this was a nice – albeit tough – way to get back on track.
Crawford shot 11-for-22 and made 14 of 16 free throws en route to his seventh career game with 40 or more points.
But the Warriors got sloppy with the ball on offense late in the game and allowed Miami some key second-chance points that kept the Heat close.
Corey Maggette had 29 points, Biedrins 17 points and 15 boards and Brandan Wright 16 points for a Warriors team that went 0-5 on its recent road trip. It was Golden State's first 0-5 trip since the 2003-04 season.
Coach Don Nelson said before the game he already knows he doesn't have a playoff team this season – a somewhat bold statement at this early stage.
"I like the team for the future. I've got a lot of guys that aren't ready yet," Nelson said, noting he's focused on getting his team to play hard every night and win as much as possible during this rebuilding process. "We have some deficiencies as a team. One of them is passing. We're not a good passing team. Our trade helps that, gives us another passer. We're not strong defenders."
Wade has put together three straight strong games. He scored a team-best 26 points and tied a season high with 11 assists against the Clippers on Saturday night but missed a 3-pointer that could have won it. That performance came after he scored a season-best 43 points in a win at Phoenix the previous night.

Poor crops force counties to cancel pecan shows
VERNON (Special) — This year's poor pecan crop has forced cancellations of county pecan shows in Wilbarger and Hardeman counties. Pecan tree limbs are bare this year following an exceptionally good production year in 2007.
Wilbarger County Extension Agent Langdon Reagan said this year's dry conditions are the cause of the poor pecan production. He said the region had a really good crop last year, but this year there was just not enough moisture for good production.
Regan said it's the same problem with cotton production, and if the area doesn't get some moisture the wheat crop and eventually cattle and the cattle market will be hurt.
"The bottom line is in the weather," he said.
Ronnie Richie, co-chairman of the Wilbarger County Pecan Show, said it was just one of those years.
"One year will be good, then the trees will rest the next year," Richie said.
The last time the annual Wilbarger County pecan show was cancelled was in 2002. The pecan show is usually held in mid-December.
Richie said he had 18 trees on his property and the squirrels took care of the few pecans that were on those trees.
A.J. Duffie has several trees in his yard. He thinks the hot wind that blew so hard when the pecan trees were in bloom caused the blooms to fall off and the buds to "just dry up." He said there are no pecans on his trees.
Bertha Woods, director of the Quanah Chamber of Commerce, said a pecan show is usually held in conjunction with the city's annual Christmas Craft Show and Parade, but the pecan show has been cancelled for this year.
"There are just not enough pecans, and some years are just not pecan years," said Carolyn Lamberton, Hardeman County extension secretary. She echoed statements made by Wilbarger County officials about lack of moisture.
The pecan crop is also suffering in Foard County. Lisa Hopkins, co-owner of the Foard County News in Crowell, said Foard County did not have a pecan show.

When you ask a question on a pre-sale item for sale, you expect an answer in how long? For me, if I do not get a reply within 48 hours after my request, I move on.
48 hours sounds very reasonable, though sometimes authors may be on holiday / unable to answer for personal reasons. Though any good author would always answer all backed up tickets / presages questions after that point and usually explain they were away
I'd say that's reasonable unless you're asking on a friday afternoon – Some authors don't work on the weekends!
I should clarify on the normal business hours (Monday to Friday)
I have no "normal" business hours. Today i've started at 12am, yesterday I stopped at 11pm. Last Saturday I've worked till 11pm as well. Sometimes I take a break from Monday to Wednesday so I really can't say when to expect an answer.
I try to respond asap anyway, no matter which weekday
barreoblique said
I should clarify on the normal business hours (Monday to Friday)
Mon-Fri I usually respond within an hour tops, I'm constantly refreshing my dashboard checking for new comments.
It's quite frustrating for someone who wants to start a website in the week-end (for instance) and he/she has to wait until Monday to receive an answer to a pre-sale question.
As an author, I answer the pre-sale questions in maximum 2 hours. No matter which weekday.
As a buyer I don't wait for answers more than 2-3 hours. If I don't receive an answer fast enough, usually I buy something else.
I use a phone app to get notified when I have new comments on one of my items, and I answer them right away. If I don't know the answer off the top of my head, I reply to let them know I'll look into it as soon as I can.

I'm an early-20s gay guy turned on by hypnosis. During my adolescent explorations of the internet, I found a site with stories about "mind control," usually involving the seduction of straight men. I was hooked. I'm not beating myself up for being a "bad person," because my desire to try this in real life is nil for reasons of its impossibility (true hypnosis is something different and I am effectively fantasizing about magic) and immorality (sex without consent is rape). For the latter reason especially, I'm rather uncomfortable with my "addiction" to this fantasy.
Apart from the fact that this suggests I may have some serious sexual-control issues, I was wondering if you had any ideas for weaning yourself from a fantasy. This is not something I'm interested in "accepting." My attempts at incorporating alternate fantasies into my repertoire have failed.
Stop Thinking About That
Sexual-control issues? Sure, STAT, you've got some of those. But serious sexual-control issues? Hardly.
A desire to sexually control others, or be sexually controlled by others, is at the root of almost all sexual fantasies and fetishes, from foot fetishes to goop fetishes to BDSM. So there's no need to feel like a freak, okay? And you're clearly not a bad person, as you recognized on your own that your particular sexual-control fantasy is immoral (sex without consent is rape) and impossible (hypnosis doesn't work that way). So cut yourself some slack.
Reading your letter, some folks will blame the internet for your predicament. There you were, minding your own business, beating off in front of your computer, when a hypno-fetish site seized your screen and took over your sex life. That's not how it works. Running across that hypno porn didn't instill in you a desire to sexually control others, STAT, it tapped into a desire for sexual control that was already there. A desire to sexually control others was already part of your erotic imagination; that hypno site just lit your fuse.
The only way to wean yourself from your hypno fetish now, STAT, is to accept your bedrock fantasy, which is sexual control, and explore other ways of indulging it. I suspect the "alternate fantasies" you attempted to incorporate into your sex life didn't include aspects of sexual control, which would explain why your efforts failed. You won't move your fantasies away from hypno until you find something that satisfies those bedrock desires for sexual control. So find yourself a guy who wants to be controlled, which isn't that hard to do, and explore dom/sub role-play or bondage or S&M with him, and your hypno fetish may fade away.
Finally, STAT, there are lots of guys out there who fantasize about being hypnotized and seduced—it's too bad you've ruled them out as sex partners.
I'm a man who gets off on women hypnotizing men. I've learned to be okay with this. However, hypno doms selling MP3 clips on their websites—which cost a pretty penny—instruct "victims" to fall in love with them and crave them more and more. I feel like this could get out of hand. I'm a student and can't afford too much of this.
Trance Time
See, STAT? There are guys out there who get off on being hypnotized. TT isn't a perfect match for you, as he's straight, but if you slipped a few bucks to the hypno doms he's buying MP3s from, maybe they'll instruct TT to seek out and submit to early-20s gay guys with sexual-control issues. Which would be wrong, of course, as well as impossible, since hypnosis doesn't really work that way. A hypno dom could no more compel TT to suck you off than she could compel TT to purchase more MP3s than he can reasonably afford.
I'm married to a woman I love, but our sex life has become unbearable. We watched an HBO show about women strapping on dildos and doing their husbands. That inspired my wife to buy a strap-on dildo. Once would have been fine, but for the last year she only wants me to get off by masturbating while she does me with the strap-on. She masturbates herself while using the strap-on. She refuses counseling and insists I am being a prude. Does her selfishness signal some deeper problem?
Hurting In North Denver
I'm going to assume your letter is legit, HIND, and not the fevered imaginings of a straight guy with fem-dom fantasies. Your wife has some serious sexual-control issues, HIND, and you have some serious doormat issues. Unless you're tied to the bed, your wife can't fuck your ass if you don't let her. I get the impression you've been saying, "If you don't stop fucking my ass sometime soon, honey, I'm going to be very upset." When what you need to say is, "Once in a while, maybe, but I didn't sign up for this." The next time she bounds into the bedroom wearing her strap-on, get your ass out of bed and walk out the door.
It's impossible to find a woman to peg me! I've posted many personal ads, but the masses find even the most innocuous fetish disgusting. What is a man who longs to be sensually ravaged in the ass by a woman to do? The thought of a woman taking delight in the rich senses of my ass overwhelms me. I like voluptuous, dark-haired women, though I'm open to anything at this point. Hell, it could even be with a lesbian or a bunch of lesbians.

Year of Arrival 1928
On September 3, 1928, twenty-year-old Toshiko Inaba arrived in San Francisco with her eighteen-year-old brother Akira. Both were kibeis (born in the U.S. but educated in Japan) who held birth certificates proving their right to return to the U.S. However, while Akira was readily admitted, Toshiko was denied admission on the grounds that she had lost her U.S. citizenship by marrying Tatorao Yamamoto, an "alien ineligible to citizenship," while in Japan. It didn't matter that the marriage had been annulled within a few months and that she had never lived with him as man and wife. She would spend the next sixteen months on Angel Island, waiting for the results of her appeal to the Secretary of Labor in Washington, D.C., the U.S. District Court, and finally, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. A victim of racist and sexist immigration and nationality laws, Toshiko Inaba was deported back to Japan on January 15, 1930.

Editor's note: Shortly after we posted the profile of Alfred and Klara Marrill, AIISF was contacted by Richard Kobayashi, who is the grandson of Alfred and Klara Marill. His mother is Alice Marill Kobayashi, who journeyed to the U.S. a year before her parents came through Angel Island. Richard's sister Carol read the profile online and Richard very graciously sent us his grandfather's detailed account of their journey from Vienna to Angel Island in 1940. Read Alfred's Journal below.

Nakamura, Kiyoye : Kiyoye Nakamura: Picture Bride by Tene Woo Kember
Year of Arrival 1918
Editor's note: After we posted Tene's article, we received inquiries about the status of Kiyoye Nakamura. Did we know if she was able to land in the United States (this information for some reason was not in her file)? We did some more research and found the good news that it appears that the Nakamuras were listed in the 1930 census in Vacaville, California, with a three year old son, but the sad news that Kiyoye passed away of cancer in Vacaville in 1937. We also found a ship log showing Toragusu returning to the U.S. in 1940, with no listing for his son and can only speculate that he brought his son back to Japan to be raised.
