Max and Jake Caliger were in for a treat at the Newport Beach Film Festival opening Thursday.
The Newport Beach residents, who are 12 and 13 years old, respectively, arrived early at the Edwards Big Newport 6 to see their favorite band, Green Day.
As it turned out, they got what they wanted — and then some. The Caligers positioned themselves at the end of the red carpet where the night's stars were arriving, and as Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool and Mike Dirnt passed by, they stopped for a photo with the brothers.
"We're so excited — I was, like, crying when I saw them," said Max, who had the unique pleasure of seeing Armstrong laughing and pretending to choke him.
Clad in T-shirts with the band members' faces printed on them, the brothers carried a guitar and even their favorite Green Day album to express their love of the Grammy-winning punk-rock band. The boys' mother, Angela, added that her sons had been hardcore fans for years and were part of the mosh pit at the band's April 18 concert in Los Angeles.
"They have so much stage presence, put on a great show and write awesome music," Jake said.
The Caligers were particularly lucky in retrospect. While they scored a photo and personal interaction, the band, which was greeted with loud cheers (from mostly female admirers), left a moment later and refrained from giving media interviews.
The eight-day film festival, one of the most prominent in the region, debuted with the West Coast premiere of "Broadway Idiot" — a documentary woven around Green Day and its Broadway precursor "American Idiot." Before last night's show, the 80-minute film had been screened only at the South by Southwest Conferences & Festivals in Austin, Texas, in March.
This year, reviewers and programmers sifted through 2,700 films and handpicked the best 380. Over the next week, a music video program and action sports series will be rolled out, as will showcases of films from around the globe.
Filipino actor Jericho Rosales and filmmaker Ian Loreños took a 13-hour flight to be part of the festivities and celebrate the upcoming premiere of "Breakaway (Alagwa)," which centers on human trafficking in the Philippines. It's scheduled to play Sunday.
"I'm just really honored to be here," Rosales said of his second time at the festival. "I don't know what to say — I'm just very excited for our film to be seen by many other directors, actors and, of course, the locals here."
Usually seen in romantic movies, the Manila-based star revealed that he was drawn to his latest project since it was "dark" and gritty and contained an element of advocacy. The team filmed for 11 days, he said, which made for long days and hard work.
"Normally when I receive scripts, it's the opening that gets me, but with this one, after reading 10 pages of it, I immediately said, 'Yes,'" he said about "Breakaway," for which he is listed as co-producer. "It was so real and true, and as an actor it challenged me."
Big Newport attracted a large turnout more than an hour before the lights were dimmed for the film. Newport Beach's first couple, Mayor Keith Curry and his wife, Pamela, were part of the early arrivals and revealed that they have created a schedule and plan to be at an event every day of the festival.
"This festival brings people from all over the world into Newport Beach to enjoy our community and all that we have to offer, but also to see some wonderful films," the mayor said.
Some filmmakers, who are counting down to their own screenings, were motivated to be part of the festival kick-off because it afforded an opportunity to network.
Eagerly anticipating the audience's reaction to his submission, "Wiener Dog Nationals," director Kevan Peterson was looking forward to potential conversations with fellow directors.
Meanwhile, Austin Anderson, one of the actors in the film, said, "I'm just looking forward to seeing what people think of the movie, to be honest. I saw it once and was impressed."
Viewers must be impressed, too, since both screenings of the film are sold out — the first one in under five hours, a festival record.
Others, like longtime Disney lyricist Richard Sherman, of "Mary Poppins," "Jungle Book," "It's a Small World (After All)" and "Winnie the Pooh" fame, traveled from Chicago to have some fun.

Dhaliwal pleads guilty to missing tax deadline
A former Liberal MP and his wife have pleaded guilty to not meeting a deadline to file his taxes.
Sukh Dhaliwal and his wife Roni pleaded guilty in B.C. provincial court in Surrey to three charges of failing to comply with the Income Tax Act.
Sukh Dhaliwal was fined $3,000, or $1,000 for each count.
Roni Dhaliwal was fined $1,000 for each of five counts, making her penalty total $5,000.
Dhaliwal said Tuesday for him it is all about taking responsibility in his position for Genco Consultants Inc.
"I'm a director of this company and I take responsibility," Dhaliwal said. "It's about correcting a wrong, which I corrected today."
He said now it's time to move forward.
He would not say whether he is considering another run for political office, and just wants to get the tax problem behind him.
Dhaliwal was the Liberal MP for Newton-North Delta from 2006 to 2011 when he lost the riding to NDP's Jinny Sims.
He then intended to run for the B.C. Liberals in the riding of Surrey-Panorama in the May, 2013 election, but dropped out when the tax charges came to light.
Former Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt ended up winning that seat.

I would pay anything for you Georgia, you sweet peach you ;)
Poll: Will you use iOS 4.3 Wi-Fi personal hotspot? How much would you pay?
The Verizon iPhone will ship with Wi-Fi personal hotspot and iOS 4.3 looks like it will bring it to everyone -- but will you use it? And more important how much are you willing to pay for the privilege?
Verizon provides it free on some devices but charges for it on others. AT&T charges for tethering and makes you switch to one of their new, limited data plans so if you're grandfathered into unlimited it could be a deal breaker. On the other hand it will let you ditch your Mi-Fi if you've been using one of those as well as an iPhone.
How important in Wi-Fi personal hotspot to you and how much would you pay for it? Vote in the poll up top and let us know the details in the comments below!

Poll: Will you use iOS 4.3 Wi-Fi personal hotspot? How much would you pay?
We do. You can also press the news button under any news post.
Or just use this linkhttp://www.tipb.com/category/news/
Finally I was able to do a poll on my iPhone!
Well now I can't anymore. :-( I tried to vote on another poll, it just went to another screen and froze again. Lame :-(
My phone is jailbroken, and I have used the MyWi program to create a wi-fi spot when I don't have access to free wi-fi. I don't like the carriers charging extra just to tether your phone to a computer or iPad. Data is data no matter which device is using it. I have unlimited data, but those on a limited plan should be able to use all of the data they have purchased with no restrictions.
I pay for 2GB a month. I would like to be able to use that 2GB how ever I choose. And if I go over, they will most certainly bill me for the overage - so it is not like I am expecting any hand-outs.
Besides, when the reported 20% jump ship from AT&T then there will be enough bandwidth for my hotspot. :)
This whole hotspot craze is stupid, we already have tethering over USB and bluetooth, and tethering when not plugged in killes your battery so fast you can almost watch the percent go down, so it has to be plugged in anyway, why not use USB? It's way faster than wifi anyway
And with the argument that you can connect up to 5 computers, with both verizon and AT&T the speed is good enough for one to be nice and speedy but more than one? Good luck
I need such a minimum amount of data with this feature that paying for it just doesn't make sense. I will jailbreak and MiFi it, I guess.
Hear this Telco's? Charge a flat $/min/MB and stop the pre-determined tiered BS pricing. Could you imaging if we had to pick our electricity at out houses this way? Or the number of hours we watch TV? Water usage.
Bottomline: We pay for data, and carriers need to stop charging for HOW you use your data. Whether I am tethering to a computer or streaming pandora, I'm still pulling data. Its a shame that people are not more up in arms over this. This is one thing that really bugs me about US carriers. Times are changing and carriers are not. In an age where people have, phones, tablets, and connected PCs, we need to simplify this process
Chris is right. We pay for data already. Why do we have to pay MORE for HOW we use it? Lets apply that logic elsewhere...
I just bought a gallon of milk for $3. But if I want to pour some in a glass it is an additional $.50 per glass.
The only people this makes sense to are the people collecting the money.
Chris, what you and other people don't seem to understand is that data is not data. Understand this. Streaming pandora from your iPhone, and using your phone for a hotspot are completely different things. You can't download a 7gig operating system from Limewire from your cell phone like you can on a laptop. That's why. It's not even close to the same thing.
@Lime Just because you CAN do more with a PC vs a phone doesnt mean that the data is any different. If you want to download a 7gig file over the air, then you should pay for it. I would trade non unlimited data for being able to have multiple uses for the data that I pay for. If I pay for 5gb's, then I should be able to use them however I want each month.
I'm grandfathered into an unlimited plan.. I will use it even if its $10 or $20 on the basis that I keep my unlimited data plan and get unlimited tethering.. I will only use it for my iPad 2 wifi only.. So really They have nothing to worry about cause I use mostly wifi on my phone as it is..
This is where I'm at. As long as I can do unlimited I'm willing to pay a bit more.
Lets be realistic folks... if they just give it away we're all screwed as people will just hog the bandwidth. I think its realistic to charge $10-20 extra a month but no more!
I hope the battery doesn't fade like most Androids do running a hotspot.
Jailbreaking just seems dumb to me.
I rather have unlimited data again rather then the WIFI hotspot functionality. I wonder how well our battery life will be with the WIFI hotspot?
I won't do anything that risks losing my unlimited data plan. If adding this feature forces me down to a limited data plan it's a deal-killer. That said, I have crappy AT&T data coverage where I live. So bad that I actually added a Verizon wireless hotspot to give me 3G coverage where I live and work. It's extra money but it guarantees me great data coverage throughout the U.S. Because of the coverage issue, I won't pay anything more for AT&T hotspot
People do the stupidest things to own the Jesus phone. What a joke. How about picking the carrier and not the phone, you can't because it's not the iPhone.
I did pick the carrier. I was a VW customer for many years and then started doing a lot of travel outside the U.S. so I switched to AT&T. The coverage was fine where I "used" to live. Since I moved my ATT coverage is not that great and especially my data coverage. Because I still do a lot of traveling I'm sticking with ATT but also want good data coverage while at home/work. I expect that at some point ATT will improve their coverage in my area and I can drop the VW hotspot, but until then I have my international use AND great local 3G data coverage. Plus I get easily shared data on my notebook, netbook, phone, and anything else I want wifi access to. IF ATT opens up their iPhone to provide hotspot coverage that would take care of the last point, but it still wouldn't address my need for good local and international coverage. I'd love to hear any real suggestions you have for alternatives. Oh, and I choose NOT to jailbreak my phone. I left Windows phones because of instability and I actually appreciate Apple's control of content to ensure a positive user experience.
I think a fair compromise would be 2 GB free. If you want unlimited, there should be an additional charge.
I hope that it's free. If it is, I may occasionally use it. If I have to pay, no way in he'll am I paying more for the monthly bill.
Either way, it's a useful new feature that makes the iPhone even more versatile.
Is anyone missing the obvious here? Verizon's iPhone isn't going to allow simultaneous data and voice. So if you use hotspot and tether your laptop to it, your phone isn't going to work. I have a hard time believing that they will perfect the cutting of your data session to accept a phone call.
Not in my lifetime. They will charge to much.
Pretty simple equation for me. I would use it only to tether my Wifi-only iPad while travelling, but I certainly cannot justify being charged extra to use the data I am already paying for.
Pay twice irks me with Cable/Pay TV already, no interest with Telcos, who have the most expensive data per MB on earth (texts!)
I can't understand why I should have to pay for an iOS feature that allows me to use the bandwidth I'm already paying to use. Bits are bits. It doesn't matter if they come from my iPhone or my Macbook Pro. There's no stress on the network for local tethering, so why is there a tax put upon it?
Device-specific plans are just a waste of my money. AT&T, I want an account for ME, no matter which device I use.
If the $20 fee increased the data limit to a more reasonable 5GB I'd consider it. However charging extra for just using the same 2GB you get with new iPhone contracts for which you already have to pay $25/month is simply daylight robbery. (and forcing old loyal customers to downgrade to 2GB to get tethering is even worse)
I use less than 1GB/month on my phone, but I could easily go over 2GB on a tethered computer, using it as a backup home connection or when away from home (I don't trust free/unencrypted wifi hotspots).
Another issue would be battery life. How long would even the iPhone 4 last with this? And of course when your battery is dead you have also lost use of your phone.
For the cost and battery reasons I went with the Virgin Mobile PAYG MiFi. It's great in that you can pay for only when you use it and you have several choices of amounts, plus if the battery dies only my hotspot is down. Sprint's network isn't any better than AT&T here in Florida though. Coverage may be slightly better, but unless you have full signal the data rates are terrible if not nonexistent. Max data rates are half AT&Ts and ping times are almost double too. It has still come in very handy though.
To those that jailbreak and tether for free, thanks for congesting the network for the rest of us...
You're not really paying for 2GB of data. AT&T sure doesn't expect you to use that much. I'd guess most people use far less but select that option because they use more than 200mb. I'm sure the prices they came up (for the 2gb plan) with don't assume everyone using 2GB of data.
But if they allow free tethering, you're more likely to use that 2gb. AT&T knows this too. Therefore, they want to charge you more.
Free WiFi hotspot is the main reason why I still own and use a palm pre plus from verizon. No other phone has that freedom. If it was free on iphone, all other phones would be swiftly tossed out the door.
I didn't seem to notice anyone point out that the Verizon iPhone will not run data and voice simultaneously, so every time a call comes in it, you will lose your data connection, or what if you take the call and spend a few minutes on the phone. At least where I am I have good AT&T coverage and them now deploying their hspa+, I just tested and got over 6mbps/down and 1.5mbps/up on my cellular network. however I feel bad for anyone without AT&T service, because Verizon's EVDO rev A. Is not as advanced....
So if I were to get the Verizon iPhone I wouldn't use the hotspotr, I do have the VZW mifi, which I love,
AT&T hspa, is way more advanced, but Verizon's footprint is s much greater, if everyone could just work together.... Soooo sad.....

Clinton and the Taleban
Eric S. Margolis / 4 May 2009
The Taleban are coming! The Taleban are coming!
Last week, a bunch of lightly-armed Pashtun mountain tribesmen rode down from Afghanistan's Malakand region on motorbikes and pickup trucks and briefly swaggered around Buner, only 100 km from Pakistan's capital, Islamabad.
Hysteria erupted in Washington. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a newcomer to foreign affairs, warned these scruffy tribesmen were a global threat. The Pentagon fired off angry messages to Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Pakistan's generals dutifully responded by attacking the Pashtun tribal miscreants in Buner who had disturbed the peace of the American Raj.
Mrs Clinton might not have overreacted so strongly had she read page 30 of my book, 'War at the Top of the World:'
"In the first quarter of the 20th century…two wonderfully colourful figures emerged from the barren mountains of the Northwest Frontier. First, a fiery holy man with a wonderful name, the Fakir of Ipi.
The old fakir rallied the Pashtun tribes against the infidel and came within a turban's length of taking Peshawar from the British, who spent a decade chasing the elusive fakir through the mountains of Waziristan.
"Then, a fearsome figure, the 'Mad Mullah' (as the British press branded him), who rode down from the Malakand Pass at the head of 20,000 savage horsemen, determined to put the impious city of Peshawar (the main British Imperial base) to the sword."
Plus a change… A century later, Western imperial forces are again chasing unruly Pashtun tribesmen on the wild Northwest Frontier. Today, they're called 'terrorists.' A later-day 'Mad Mullah' named Osama lurks somewhere up in the tribal badlands.
Pashtun (aka Pathan) frontier tribes - collectively mislabeled 'Taleban' by Western media - are up in arms again because they are being bombed by US Predator drones, and attacked by the Pakistani Army, which the US rents for $1.5 billion annually, to support its widening war in Afghanistan.
Pashtun civilian casualties - 'collateral damage' in Pentagon speak - are rising fast. It's like kicking a hornet's nest.
The primary cause of the growing rebellion in Northwest Frontier Province is the US war in Afghanistan, which is rapidly spreading into Pakistan. Many Pakistanis see the Afghan Taleban and their own rebellious Pashtun as heroes fighting Western domination, and scorn their own increasingly unpopular leaders in Islamabad as too obedient to Washington.
But Pakistan is bankrupt and must dance to Washington's tune.
Even the British Imperial Raj's most junior officer knew it was foolhardy to provoke warlike Pashtun. But Washington has done just this.
Still, the Pashtun 'Taleban' have no influence outside their Northwest Frontier and, much smaller, in Balochistan. They are not about to take over the rest of Pakistan.
But Washington's ham-handed tactics in Afghanistan and Pakistan have stirred up a bigger storm: a slow-motion rebellion in Pakistan against the Western-backed feudal oligarchy that has ruled it since 1947.
Pakistan is among the world's poorest nations. Half its people are illiterate. Most subsist on $1.13 daily. The feudal landowning elite, only 0.5 per cent of the population, holds over 90 per cent of national wealth. Corruption engulfs everything. Democracy is a sham; the legal system a cruel joke.
India is also equally poor, but many of its people have hope. Pakistanis have none.
Islamic law offers the only justice in Pakistan that can't be bought. Growing resistance movements in Northwest Frontier and Balochistan call for national leadership that represents Pakistan's rather than Western interests. Pakistanis are humiliated by being forced by the US and Britain to wage war against their own people under the pretext of 'fighting Islamic terrorism.'
Everyone now asks, "are Pakistan's nuclear weapons safe?" Yes. They are heavily guarded by crack army units and the intelligence service and will remain so unless the army splits in a power struggle. Pakistan's nukes cannot be armed without special security codes.
Many American experts are warning that Pakistan could become another Iran. I'm not so sure, and certainly not soon. Islamic parties have never commanded much support. But Pakistan is headed into very dangerous waters and its political class is largely discredited. Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif increasingly seems - even to some in the Obama administration - as Pakistan's last chance.
Not to Hillary. She continues to fulminate about 'Mad Mullahs' with A-bombs and, it is whispered, talk to Israel about a joint strike against Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.

hi rusty,
off the top of my head, i would say that your su needs to be setuid
root and it's not. you should have a permission of 4755 (rwsr-xr-x) on
to verify this, i went to google groups:
in "with all of the words" i typed:
su "cannot set groups"
the first item reads:
su problem: su: cannot set groups: Operation not permitted
i click on it, then click on complete thread. here's the URL:
it looks like all the responses to this question point to the permission
problem. :-)

Most everybody over the age of twelve wore some kind of hat. This was wise on a continent where the average daytime temperatures raged from the mid 50' to 60's and rain was frequent. Most classes of men above the rank of peasant commonly wore these Renaissance Period Beret or flat-style hats. Elastic in the headband allow one size to fit most.

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Season 2, Episode 13 Quotes: "Wanna Lose the Other Hand?"
The characters on Once Upon a Time might have their hands full with breaking curses and slaying dragons and whatnot, but that doesn't mean they're too busy for a good zinger.
We've rounded up the 10 best quotes from this week's episode, Season 2, Episode 13: "Tiny," including Leroy not loving Charming's names.
10. Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) [to Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin)]: "I see where your daughter got her gumption."
Sass runs in the family.
9. Henry (Jared Gilmore): "You guys, there's a Cinnabon here."
At least Henry keeps his priorities in order.
8. Anton (Jorge Garcia) [to Leroy (Lee Arenberg)]: "Your crop? I thought you guys were miners."
At a small town like Storybrooke, you take whatever work you can get.
7. Gold (Robert Carlyle) [after Emma (Jennifer Morrison) calls him her father]: "'Father?'"
Gold already has one kid whom he has a strained relationship with — he doesn't need another.
6. Hook [when Leroy warns him about funny business]: "Yes, dwarf — that should deter me from any malfeasance."
Hook is not easily deterred.
5. Anton [about his brothers]: "They're not so bad — except for the making fun of me, and the pushing me around, and the harsh words. Well, yeah — it's sort of bad."
Apparently, giants need shrinks as much as the rest of us.
4. Leroy [to Charming (Josh Dallas), on why he didn't get his own pickaxe]: "'Cause you ain't a dwarf."
Of all the things to be jealous of, a pickaxe with your name on it isn't the best choice.
3. Gold: "Have you ever been impaled upon a cane before?"
Gold is big on giving people new experiences.
2. Leroy [to Charming]: "You know, what if I call you whatever I damn well please. That okay?"
Leroy wants everyone to have one name, like Madonna.
1. Charming [to Hook, for flirting with Snow]: "Wanna lose the other hand?"
Actually, having two hooks would be kind of badass.

text: Mobile After a drop in profits, HTC forecasts cloudy quarter ahead February 6, 2012 1:14 PM Devindra Hardawar 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. The next quarter will be tough-going for HTC as it tries to recover from its first big profit drop in two years. HTC reported revenues of NT$101.42 billion (New Taiwanese dollars) for the fourth quarter, but the company projects revenues of up to 36 percent less in the first quarter, from NT$65 billion to NT$70 billion ($2.20-$2.37 billion U.S.). HTC previously announced that its profits fell in the fourth quarter, so this news is basically the other shoe that we've been waiting to drop. HTC says it's waiting on new models to turn its fortunes, and that the downturn will only be a short-lived problem, but the next quarter is still going to be a major issue for the company. The quarterly projection is far off from the $3.04 billion analysts were expecting, Reuters reports. "Our weakness in first-quarter guidance also comes from facing competition in the U.S. from iPhone and Samsung," said HTC CFO Winston Yung in a conference call today. "LTE handsets also didn't meet our expectations." Indeed, HTC is now facing competition from all corners, and the only way it can survive is by completely reshaping its smartphone strategy. The company has already said that it instead of releasing a ton of phones this year, it's going to focus on a smaller number of high-quality "hero" devices. Such a strategy will help consumers better differentiate HTC's new devices, but HTC will also need to work double-time to make sure it can outdo Samsung and Apple. Via Bloomberg Photo: Devindra Hardawar/VentureBeat VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Alexei Ramirez hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh, Adam Dunn added his major league leading 36th an inning later and the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees 9-6 Monday night to end a three-game losing streak. Ramirez connected with two outs in the seventh off Boone Logan (4-2) for his seventh homer of the season. Brett Myers (2-1) got the win by pitching two-thirds of an inning. Addison Reed worked the ninth for his 22nd save in 25 chances as the White Sox won the opener in a three-game series between two first-place teams. Dewayne Wise and Gordon Beckham also homered for Chicago. New York's Derek Jeter homered and had four hits, tying Eddie Murray for 11th place on the career hits list (3,255). He also took over 13th place on the runs scored list (1,845), passing Craig Biggio.

The Right to Vote
"The vote" is a human right. It is seen as an American right. In a democracy there is nothing more fundamental than having the right to vote.
And yet the right to vote is not a fundamental right in our Constitution. Some liberals argue that the fundamental right to vote for every American citizen is implied in the Constitution, based on Supreme Court precedent. Yet when I ask them about the denial of voting representation in Congress to District of Columbia citizens, or about the denial of ex-felons' voting rights in most states, many liberals concede that the current structure of our Constitution limits the ability of the courts and Congress to adequately address important voting-rights issues.
It is amazing to me that many Democrats failed to grasp the most fundamental finding in Bush v. Gore: "The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States."
Our voting system's foundation is built on the sand of states' rights and local control. We have fifty states, 3,141 counties and 7,800 different local election jurisdictions. All separate and unequal.
In four states, if you're an ex-felon you're barred from voting for life. There are 5 million Americans (including 1.8 million African-Americans, mostly in Southern states--where 55 percent of African- Americans live) who have paid their debt to society but are prohibited from voting. At the same time, in Maine and Vermont you can vote even if you're in jail.
We need to build our voting system on a rock--the rock of adding a Voting Rights Amendment to the US Constitution. The amendment I have proposed in each of the last several Congresses (HJR 28) would provide the American people with a citizenship right to vote. It would also give Congress the authority to craft a unitary voting system for federal, state and local elections--one that guarantees all votes will be counted in a complete, fair, free and efficient manner.
Democrats have been made so defensive by right-wing Republicans' constant stream of absurd amendments--anti-gay, antichoice, anti-flag "desecration"--that we've developed a negative rationale and posture about the Constitution: It's fine just the way it is. But fights over "rights" and constitutional amendments are where elections are being won and lost. And when Democrats don't fight for common laws, defending human rights, we're just reaffirming states' rights and local control, both of which are inherently separate and unequal.
Building a more perfect union by turning human rights into American rights--that's what Democrats should be fighting for. Let's wage this fight one issue at a time, rolling out a sort of second Bill of Rights. After the Voting Rights Amendment, we might add public education and equal-quality healthcare to every American's citizenship rights. An equal rights for women amendment. An affordable-housing amendment. A clean, safe and sustainable environment amendment. A fair taxes amendment. A full-employment amendment. An amendment for direct election of the American President and Vice President.
Fighting for human and constitutional rights is a theme, and a strategy, that could keep Democrats together for the next fifty years, election after election. It's time to begin a lofty fight to add the right to vote to the Constitution--and paint a truer picture of most Republicans as undemocratic. It's time to stand up and insure every American's right to vote to have that vote fully protected and to have it fairly counted.

text: The University of Maryland Concert Choir is the symphonic choir of the School of Music, its membership composed of singers from the choral ensemble program. It maintains a busy schedule of concerts both on and off campus. At the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center the UMD Concert Choir has performed repertoire as diverse as the Bach Magnificat and the Weinachts Oratorium, the MahlerSymphony #2 and the Verdi Requiem. In 2010 the ensemble was featured in a performance led by Paul Goodwin of the oratorio Das Paradies und die Peri, for the School of Music's Robert Schumann Festival in honor of that composer's 200th anniversary. Since 2003 the UMD Concert Choir has collaborated regularly with the National Symphony Orchestra in repertoire such as the Bach St. Matthew Passion and Mass in B minor, the Haydn Creation, Mendelssohn's Elijah with the NSO, and has served as the chorus for Handel's Messiah five times. The ensemble has appeared under the direction of maestros such as Christoph Eschenbach, Helmuth Rilling, Iván Fischer, and Matthew Halls. In the Fall of 2013 the UMD Concert Choir will make its debut with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Marin Alsop in performances of the monumental War Requiem by Benjamin Britten to mark the composer's centenary.

In the book his laughing and loving readers have been waiting for, our generation's master of full-hearted humor lays open the soul of his life story.Roy Blount Jr.–Georgia boy turned New York wit, lover of baseball and interesting women, bumbling adventurer, literary lion, salty-limerick virtuoso and impassioned father–journeys into the past and his psyche (also all the way to China, sixty feet underwater and to various Manhattan hot spots) in search of the answers to three riddles that have haunted him intimately:One: the riddle of "the family curse." Two: the riddle of what drives him (or anyone) to be funny. Three: the riddle of what so cruelly tangled his unseverable bond with the beguiling, beaten orphan girl who became the impossible mother who raised him to Be Sweet.Roy Blount's memoir is sardonic and sentimental, hilarious and grieving, brazen and bashful, tough and tender–sometimes by turns and sometimes all at once. Almost harshly honest, yet sportively wayward, Be Sweet resonates with the complex but bouncy chords of a whole man singing, clinkers and all.
If there is one thing that Roy Blount Jr. prides himself on, his modesty aside, it is this: that he has done more different things than any other humorist-novelist-journalist-dramatist-lyricist-lecturer-reviewer-performer-versifier-cruciverbalist-sportswriter-anthologist-columnist-screenwriter-philologist of sorts he can think of. A single grandfather, he hails… More about Roy Blount Jr.

Michelle Obama believes her fashion choices are "very practical"
Michelle Obama believes her fashion choices are "very practical".
The US first lady – who posed for the cover of US Vogue when her husband Barack became President – admits she always has to "love" what she wears, but must consider the physical implications of whatever outfit she is wearing.
She said: "I have to wear what I love. I have to feel good in it. My day-to-day wardrobe choices are very practical. I'm like, 'What's the temperature? Am I going to be sitting in the grass? Will I be playing with kids? Can I sit on the floor?' "
The 47-year-old philanthropist also reveals she likes to think little about her clothes once she has them on.
She said: "If I'm comfortable in what I have on, that's second nature, and then all my attention can go on the people in the room that I'm with at the time, and I don't have to worry whether something is riding up or whether my feet hurt. I don't want to waste anxiety on something as limited as clothes."

How content mills help freelance writers
Recently, I've been reading several discussions that debate (or just argue against) the legitimacy of low-cost content providers. Even though I believe cheap writers will poorly affect a business in the long term, I also think that content mills help freelance writers on a short-term basis.
The term "content mill" refers to a website that offers cheap, low-cost services for things like website content, logo design and data entry. And I'm sure you've heard a lot of the debate whether it's good or bad for freelancers.
I believed the hype that low-paying places were for bad writers. But you can't immediately discard them because of the negative stereotypes that they've created for themselves.
Obviously, you need to evaluate the opportunities that are out there, but you don't know if a content mill will lead you to better opportunities down the road. Although here's what is more important..
Content mills help freelance writers earn a little cash, but YOU need to USE a content mill, not the other way around!
Don't get used, abused and ask for more!
A content mill should give you the opportunity to boost your confidence and keep busy, but those should be the main reasons. A little financial gain is good, but only as long as you hold on to your dignity and self-respect.
So, before you start rolling your eyes some more, here are several reasons why content mills help freelance writers – even experienced freelancers:
1. They keep you active.
Alright, before we get started here, I know.. the pay scale may not be great – sometimes it's putrid – but selectively choosing an adequate project for a somewhat decent rate will keep your mind flowing with ideas.
These projects may not have a lot of depth and shouldn't require a lot of effort, especially if it's for a few dollars or a handful of Euro coins. But it's better to keep active with a business-related exercise instead of staring at an empty inbox, waiting for your next assignment from a client.
Spending too much time on social media or looking over statistics keeps you focused on other elements of your business instead of the money maker: your writing ability.
Think how the driver of an 18-wheeler handles freezing conditions. During the winter time, drivers usually don't shut off the engine and drivers in arctic Canada definitely can't shut them off. Why?
When you stall out for a few days without writing something for a paying client, even a low-paying one, you can almost remain in that state of mind for a while. Content mills help freelance writers by keeping the engine running and "fueled up" between major destinations – or better clients!
2. They temporarily give you material that's not typically in your field.
Variety, baby, variety! I love the spice of life.
There have been times where all I did was write about a specific product from morning to night. Sure, the pay was decent, but it was just monotonous after a few hours – phrases like "I'm so $*%@ing sick of this" come to mind, right?
Content mills help freelance writers who get stuck in the monotony trap. Your regular clients pay well, but the material is so focused because of your specialty.
A quick content mill fix can be a temporary relief, where you can work on material in related industries or for completely different subjects. There are plenty of times where you will work on something new and you never knew about it!
For example, if you accept work to write press releases, you'll definitely get submissions to write about some health pill, diet drink or something else that's really just an advertisement. However, you also will find out more about fascinating topics or learn about new trends that can spark some new ideas for your freelance business.
But, most importantly, that break in the cycle will force you to refocus on your next assignment. Repetitive content can start to blur after a while, so disturbing and interrupting that monotony is one way that content mills help freelance writers – even better when that temporary break from your typical content helps improve your writing on the subject.
3. They help you get frustrated, stand your ground and say "Heck no!" to bad clients.
One of the biggest arguments against content mills and low-cost providers is the treatment and lack of respect for its key asset: the freelancers who work on these sites. And it's disheartening to think that these companies try to recruit writers, but then refuse to support or assist them if there's a problem.
Look.. it really doesn't matter if you're Craig from New York, Jane from London or Ahmed from Mumbai. We are all human beings – we all bleed, poop and eat, so our salaries/jobs/living costs should not define us to other members of the human race.
So don't accept poor treatment from someone else who thinks he or she has a right to treat you like a lower-class citizen! It doesn't matter whether he or she is paying you $5 per assignment or $75 per hour – accept constructive criticism or reasonable complaints, but not abusive treatment.
Content mills help freelance writers learn when people demand faaaaar too much for a small fee – and that's when freelancers need to stand up for themselves. If the pay is far below a reasonable level, then move on to the next. If the client is an abusive fool, then tell him or her to shove it!
And walk away when you discover that someone just selling your work as his or her own. This is a sneaky, dishonest practice by lazy, so-called "professionals" who will immediately insult your true talent after you expose their pathetic games – where's the integrity in that?
From my own encounter with one of these "writers", your material is great and wonderful when they're fooling you. But when you find out the game they're playing, then your work suddenly turns to worthless garbage.
It just demonstrates that there are clients – from content mills to office buildings – who will criticize, verbally abuse and humiliate you.. but only if you allow it to happen. Even if they don't stop this childish bullying, remember that you may not control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it.
There are certain limitations that any human being should not allow from another. You can have a demanding client who may have minor prejudices, but make sure he or she knows when they're crossing the line. If your potential client still acts like he or she is better than you, then don't let it ruin your day.. it's better to lose an abusive client than struggle to make them happy!
And this assertiveness is excellent for any freelancer, especially those who have writing businesses. Self-confidence and a flexible attitude are essential as a writer, but you should not sacrifice your dignity or ethics for a paycheck. Whether it's a small assignment or a big project, you may need to remind your clients when they are giving fair criticism, when they are being unreasonable.. and when they can piss off. So content mills help freelance writers develop backbones – and we sure need them!
4. Content mills give you opportunities for small victories.. and a better portfolio.
Remember the first point that it's good to be busy as a freelancer; if not, it can start bad thoughts about your qualifications, if you're worth the price and so on. And content mills help freelance writers stay away from those occasional doubts.
For every assignment completed, you can easily add another hour, logo, article or website template to your personal "statistics". And think about it.. even if you worked on 25,000 words or 25 logos for less than $10 per assignment, that's still 25,000 finished words and 25 completed logos! That's an accomplishment on its own, so don't belittle yourself because it was done at a discount.
And, as long as you clearly state it in your offer or description (depending on the website), you should reserve the right to display the material in your portfolio. Even for material that's completed on a work-for-hire basis where the rights go to the client, you should still be able to use it in your portfolio. I'm not a lawyer, but I would think that's a reasonable request or clause in the agreement with your client.. come on, it's only fair, right?
Just remember that these are valuable accomplishments, even if the pay scale is lower than what you deserve for your expertise. And these small victories can start to snowball into something bigger because…
5. Content mills give you the opportunity to catch bigger fish, but on your own terms.
Contrary to popular belief, content mills help freelance writers find reasonable clients. I'm sure several new freelancing businesses started with clients from content mills because some of us don't schmooze with the decision-making executives or can't easily get hired as a consultant.
Did you start earning $75 or $100 an hour after graduating from university.. or from your first freelancing gig? (Babysitting and mowing the lawn included.)
Come on.. ALL of us needed a place to start, even if it that "sucked" or "paid like crap" or whatever crude phrase you'd like to use to describe it. Think about all the unpaid internships out there.. how many of you have "worked" as an intern for college credit? I've been an intern in low-paying environments, like a radio station, a newspaper and a minor league sports team – it's not always the best way to advance to a real job.
Sure, you can make contact with some key people, but that doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get a paying job with them. Or even a well-paying job. Sometimes they assume that you "worked" for free, so you can just continue working at the minimum salary.. isn't this similar to abusive treatment by a client?
People should be paid a fair, sustainable amount for what they can do for your business – full stop, period, end of discussion.
So this is a reasonable request to mention to your regular clients, especially after you've worked on several of their assignments through a content mill. They've seen what you can do and you've proven that your material fits their needs. If they truly value your skill, then you should be able to negotiate a deal to work as one of their freelancers.. but on your terms.
6. Content mills allow you to test the waters for less risk – for both parties!
Every completed assignment instills a little more self-confidence in your abilities, but everyone mentions how there are so many assignments that pay very well! And they do.. for the right person.
As long as you find reasonable clients who are willing to pay a worthwhile amount (even if it's low), content mills help freelance writers connect with some people who really do appreciate the knowledge and skill of a professional writer. However, you don't want to ruin your reputation or damage your pride by trying to leap too far into unknown territory.
You might be a new writer who is testing the waters with freelancing or an experienced writer who wants to change his or her specialty, but would you be willing to risk your future progress on a cheap gig or one that paid very well?
A simple $10 gig is relatively easy to do and you should be given a chance to fix it if you screw up, but the $4,000 gig will take more time and you'll need to work with very demanding clients who have specific deadlines. Remember.. this is your first attempt in a new field – what would you do?
Established freelancers test new clients and established business test new freelancers.. that's just the way it works in the industry. Many people don't know what to expect and that creates a level of fear – your new hire may cover many ideas from one project, but nothing that fits what you are looking for. So content mills help freelance writers who might not know about a certain field, but it allows them to try it out and see whether it's worth the risk.
And the same thing for small business owners who are looking for a professional, reliable writer. By having a "trial period" for a particular writer, owners can find a great writer that creates suitable material, but that freelancer must remember that he or she has the right to decline future assignments.
7. Content mills give you the chance to adapt to demanding clients, work on your negotiating skills to earn more money.. and when to trust your gut.
Sure, there's a slight chance that you may not find a reasonable client to work with, but there's a very good chance that you can work with a private client! I'm fairly certain of this, but there aren't too many statistics to prove this – content mills don't want evidence that shows how their freelancers work independently from the website.
There are plenty of reasonable business owners who appreciate professional and reliable writers, even if they cannot pay a substantially higher fee in the beginning. Sometimes the owner is going through a rough time, maybe it's a new business.. but there are clients who intend to pay more as business picks up.
In this case, your personality, tact and patience can create great results, but being naïve or delusional will hurt you. It really comes down to your constitution and which reasonable limitations you are willing to accept before your instincts start to warn you.
For example, I worked with a client – through a content mill – who paid for a few pieces of website content. Because I produced reliable, efficient writing with a fast turnaround time, he was willing to try an off-site arrangement. Unfortunately, as a small business owner, his own budget was limited, and he could only afford a few dollars more per hour as a private client.
At first, I almost turned him down immediately because a professional writer should be paid much more – maybe that was the brainwashing message from all those money-hungry websites – but I trusted my gut and accepted the offer on a temporary basis.
Perhaps it would lead to more projects or bigger connections, so I mentally created a 30-day trial period – for the client. If future projects would sound too good to be true or if there was an argument over payment, then I'm finished with him.
By waiting for key moments to remind him how I deserve a reasonable rate, this initial arrangement started to gain momentum for his business and my own. He could rely on quality writing with quick turnaround time, and he used that as a significant selling point in his website development proposals. Eventually, as his projects increased in value, so did my rate for each assignment – it was definitely a smart move to be patient and see what would develop in the future!
Nicole Colwell, owner of Colwell Creative Content and a fellow freelancer who has gained additional writing experience through content mills, started working with a few private clients after providing some outstanding material over a "trial period".
But the best part? She closed the deal with one of these clients to work on a $10,000 project over three months! Quite a jump from five or ten bucks an assignment.. just because she trusted her gut and remained patient while negotiating better deals.
7 (a). Some advice to freelancers in countries with lower costs of living.
Obviously, common arguments against content mills don't matter to freelancers where ten dollars or 20 Euro can pay for a week's worth of groceries or utilities! These content mills have been able to significantly help your family's household income, but you should still learn to hone your writing skills and improve your abilities.
It may not matter where in the world you live, but clients rely on a reasonable turnaround time and effective materials from any freelancer. If you are truly reliable and efficient, then you may be one of the few professional freelancers in your country.
Instead of letting a content mill take commissions from your regular clients, consider working with a few clients on your own terms. Think of how those commissions could pay for dinner at a local restaurant or a visit to the local theatre. As long as you provide original, high-quality material that's similar to the writing of professionals in the U.S. or the U.K., then you are no longer just a writer on a content mill – you can start calling yourself a professional freelancer.
7 (b). And advice to freelancers who aren't making thousands of dollars per blog post.
Guess what? Neither am I.. no big deal.
Many freelancers want to earn a sustainable amount of income, although who knows what that is – only you know that amount. It's not an unreasonable expectation to become wealthy with your craft, but it is unreasonable expectation if that's your only goal.
For some freelancers, earning $40,000 a year is a reasonable and realistic amount. For others, depending on where you live, $55,000 will make you happy – actually, that's right in the "happiness" sweet spot, according to Harvard professor Daniel Gilbert.
Sure, it'd be great to earn a six-figure income as a freelancer or a guest blogger, but not if it means that I need to go on a never-ending hunt for clients who are swimming in their bank vaults.
I like writing, so I don't mind cutting deals and making trades with clients, even if this may cut into potential profits. It makes me happy, convinces clients to continue doing business with me, and I get a positive feeling about the whole exchange. If a content mill offers you a few bucks per assignment and you're happy with that, then what's really the problem?
Of course, you should be compensated a fair amount for your skills, but there's no need to rush around and beat people down just to achieve a six-figure income. You can call me a dreamer, naïve or stupid, but I think that becoming too greedy is starting to erode the concept of happiness among some freelancers. You need to put it all in perspective..
8. Finally, as mentioned above, content mills provide pocket change.. but that can easily cover some monthly costs in your business.
You have a website, right? What about a blog? What about an automated email subscription service? OK, maybe two out of three.. but I'm sure you're paying a monthly fee to use them, right?
In the time that it's taken to read this long post (and thank you for doing so!), you might have finished a content mill assignment that could easily pay for your monthly hosting fee – a simple $5 assignment can pay for nearly two months at iPage under my hosting plan.
Or it can pay for 25% of your email subscription service. Or that really strong coffee you just ordered.
The fact is content mills really do help freelance writers when they focus on the possibilities and not merely on the financial elements.
Remember that penny-pinching clients and unreasonable wages are present in offline transactions as well – being a freelancer, a consultant or a paid employee doesn't matter. But when it comes to assignments online, you need to stand your ground, flip the script and use content mills, but don't let them use you.
"Take advantage" of these websites to gain more self-confidence, learn more about new topics and build your portfolio. "Use" them for positive gains in your freelancing business, but only temporarily – a week or two at a time – then "dump" them! Are you noticing a pattern here?
Once you're back into the groove with your regular clients, or when your marketing efforts land a new client, suspend your content mill offers.. until you need to use them during your next dry spell.
Content mills help freelance writers – not harm them – when these sites are part of your extended arsenal. They're cheap, generic tools you only use in an emergency, but you wouldn't rely on them.

By Tom Sarago, DANCECleveland
Last weekend , DANCECleveland, a not-for-profit presenter of modern and contemporary dance, hosted a very special sold-out, two-day workshop dedicated to helping the Parkinson's population. The event took place February 16-17 at Cleveland State University.
The workshop, conducted by David Leventhal, manager for Dance for PD, a program of Mark Morris Dance Group, helped train over twenty dancers and dance instructors, all from various parts of Ohio, Wisconsin and Ontario, Canada on how to adapt their expertise and work effectively with those who suffer from Parkinson's disease. The class taught movement techniques designed to explore movement and music in a way that is equally stimulating, empowering and expressive.
While this was the first time DANCECleveland hosted this training class, the inception of Dance for PD began in New York in 2001 when Mark Morris Dance Group was approached directly by the Brooklyn Parkinson Group about creating dance classes for those with Parkinson's. The collaboration was the catalyst that drove Mark Morris Dance Group to explore the intersection of dance and Parkinson's disease and drove the creation of new teaching methods that have spread worldwide. Classes engaged participants' minds and bodies and created an enjoyable, social environment that emphasizes dance rather than therapy.
For more information on Dance for PD, including a schedule of upcoming class dates and organizational background please visit www.danceforparkinsons.org

Functional groups
The homologous series covered in the core under 10.1 are the alkanes and alkenes and the functional groups are: alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and halogenoalkanes. Students should be able to name compounds containing one of these groups for up to six (non cyclic) carbon atoms. In addition students should be able to identify the amino group, the benzene ring and esters. They should also be able to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. For HL (20.1) students they are also expected to cover amines, amides and nitriles.
When teaching functional groups and the IUPAC system of naming teachers often simply follow the syllabus and limit themselves to compounds containing up to six carbon atoms. The teaching can get rather repetitive and many of the compounds are not compounds that students can easily relate to. Consequently students often initially tend to muddle the groups up. The structures given in Tables 20, 21 and 22 in the data booklet can be really useful to reinforce identification of functional groups. Some examples to ask students are:
Example 1 What is the difference between male and female students?
testosterone progesterone
Both testosterone and progesterone contain a ketone group (hence the ending in –one) but progesterone contains a second ketone group (perhaps it should be called progesterdione?) and testosterone contains an alcohol group (perhaps it should be called testosteronol?).
(Place your cursor over the proboscis money to find the answer)
Example 2 Alcohols
Find how many compounds there are in Tables 20, 21 and 22 that end in –ol. What functional group do they all have in common? Can you find any other compounds in the tables that also include this group?
Example 3 How does the structure of morphine differ from the structure of heroin?
morphine heroin
Example 4 Aspirin, penicillin and thyroxine
Aspirin, ibuprofen, penicillin and thyroxine all have one functional group in
common – what is it?
Example 5 Identify the functional groups present in cocaine
Example 6 Use your imagination
There are many more ways of using these structures, e.g. is testosterone a primary, secondary or tertiary alcohol?

The precise circumstances under which a La Crosse police reserve found a fellow in Riverside Park this week-end. The say the 22 year-old was walking right next to the Mississippi very early Saturday morning when police intercepted him. Really, really drunk and not making much sense, they say. When they asked the guy where he was going, he said he was headed to a friend's house. When they asked where, he pointed to the west, towards the river.

I had a similar situation happen at a Suzuki, Kawasaki, Ducati dealership (may have even had Triumph too) that also had a large HD dealership next door. Even the non HD shop was heavily into cruisers. Anyway this was around the time that the original DL1000 V-Strom came out. It was during the work day and I was in between appointments (outside sales) so I stopped in to check the V-Strom out. I drove up in a nice late model car and had on business clothes. Conversation went like this, after a salesman finally acknowledged me after I spent 10-15 minutes kicking tires.
Salesman: Can I help you?
Me: Sure, thanks. I am thinking of getting a new bike and am interested in the V-Strom and would like to check it out.
Salesman: (with a dumb founded look on face) Uhh, what's that?
Me: This is a Suzuki dealership isn't it?
Salesman: (still looking dumb founded) Yeah....
Me: Well.....
Salesman: (a light bulb coming on) Oh yeah. Nah, we ain't got one of those.
Me: OK, will you be getting one in?
Salesman: Probably not. We can't sell sport bikes.
Me: Ok thanks.
And I turn around and leave. The guy made no attempt to engage me at all in a conversation about motorcycles and I told him I was thinking of a new bike. I am in my late 40's, obviously not poor and looking for a new bike.
I have spent a life in sales and I am by no means the best sales guy out there, but come on now. How do these guys get jobs selling anything????

This Black Forest chalet cuckoo clock has animated dancers, water wheel, a jumping goat and moving dog. This is a very colorful cuckoo clock starting with the shutter doors and hand painted dancers. There are flower arrangements under the windows. Grandpa is watching with his trusty dog as Heidi is tending her goat. A boy is standing next to the tree and water fountain.
The clock is powered by a German Regula movement which must be wound daily. Three cast iron pine cones apply gravity to the tarnish resistant chains which drive the movement, time and cuckoo call. The Swiss music box plays 2, 22 note melodies as the dancers dance and water wheel turns. The goat and dog move during the call of cuckoo.
The dial, numerals, hands and cuckoo bird are all made of wood. There is a night shut off switch for quiet time and night use. This cuckoo clock is made by Anton Schneider in Schonach, Germany.
