Billy Strayhorn is acknowledged as one of the most influential composers of the twentieth century. Strayhorn, the primary collaborative partner of Duke Ellington for 28 years, created a compelling musical language that transcended Ellington. His innumerable contributions to the jazz canon create a formidable legacy for musicians from all genres. Strayhorn's deep knowledge of both classical and popular music enabled him to create a unique approach to song writing. Elements of his harmonic sophistication and voicing techniques have become emblematic of excellence in the jazz repertoire.
In addition to his musical achievements, Billy Strayhorn has become identified with the struggle for civil rights. Throughout his career, Strayhorn overcame several stigmas, not the least of which being an African American artist in a society dominated by whites and a gay man in a culture where homosexuality was considered a crime.
In 1963, Billy Strayhorn came to Chicago to serve as music director of Duke Ellington's My People, a work composed on the 100th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and performed as part of the "A Century of Negro Progress Exposition" at the Arie Crown Theater at McCormick Place. In tribute to Billy Strayhorn and the upcoming 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, we are proud to present the Billy Strayhorn Song Writing Contest.

She had only a couple scenes in the play, yet she'd show up at the start and watch the entire rehearsal. I knew she wasn't a theatre major, so I had to guess she was hanging around extra to check out a dude, and I figured that dude might be me since there was only one other single dude in the play, and he was Fay. A blind man could see that when she chatted with him it seemed more like girlfriends gossiping than heteros flirting.
When Veronica and I chatted, which was not often because I was involved in most every scene, we said very little, which led me to think, or believe, or more to the point hope like a bastard, that we were treading lightly around emotions we wished could erupt into a one way trip to love. (Please feel free to use the final seventeen words of that paragraph in a song - but understand, the song will probably suck if you do).
Robert, our great director, decided would be best for Veronica and I to work on the sensitive scene we shared at the end of each night's rehearsal. "The set will be closed," he announced to the cast, which meant no one else would be allowed to watch. I felt like kissing Robert right then and there because ending rehearsals (we rehearsed on the top floor of a working dairy barn), with only Robert around to compete for Veronica's attention, would allow me fantastic opportunities to utilize my highly evolved ability to woo ... which of course I did not and still do not have. But being the politest, sweetest, most humble and content young man to bid Veronica "Night," under a dozen or so of the absolute most perfectly clear star filled summer Vermont evenings, couldn't hurt my chances.

Dennis Ross, late of the Obama White House, has a 943 word op-ed in the New York Times arguing (or rather hoping) that "Iran is Ready to Talk," that diplomacy can work, and so forth. But in the alternate universe of this op-ed, which unfortunately is also the alternate universe of the Obama administration, there are some realities you won't find addressed. Indeed, you won't even find the following events and facts mentioned:
* The June 2009 elections and anti-regime demonstrations.
* Any actual facts about the progress of the Iranian nuclear program (and therefore no mention of "highly-enriched uranium," "missiles," or any places like Natanz, Bushehr, Fordow, Qom, etc.).
* Iranian terror efforts, Iran's hosting of al Qaeda, and the like (Hezbollah gets one passing mention)
* Iranian efforts to kill Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan
* Quotations from Iran's leaders about exterminating the tumor of the Zionist entity.
Otherwise, it's quite persuasive.
J Street's second annual conference – at least, that's what it was called until the organizers realized it had actually been two years since their first annual conference – took place this past weekend in Washington, D.C. For the liberal lobbying group, which proudly (and falsely) calls itself "pro-Israel" and "pro-peace," it's been a rough two years.

Yossi Klein Halevi comments from Jerusalem on "The Crisis" in the liberal New Republic. He ends with a serious charge: "[W]hat is clear today in Jerusalem is that Obama's recklessness is endangering Israeli--and Palestinian--lives. As I listen to police sirens outside my window, Obama's political intifada against Netanyahu seems to be turning into a third intifada over Jerusalem."

Since the war began, Ehud Olmert has done a masterful job of keeping his mouth shut. We are just a few weeks before the election, an election that happened as the result of Olmert's multiple police investigations compounded by his grandiose ineptitude in the 2006 war. Somehow, the Kadima government was successful in impressing people — and pretty much making us forget who was in charge.
Until last night.
Unfathomably, inconceivably, Olmert opened his mouth, and said some remarkably stupid things. The entire idea of the U.S. abstaining in the vote in the UN Security Council calling for a cease fire, it turns out, was his. Here's YNet's report on what Olmert says he said to the President of the United States:
"I said: 'Get me President Bush on the phone,'" Olmert said in a speech in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon. "They said he was in the middle of giving a speech in Philadelphia. I said I didn't care: 'I need to talk to him now.' He got off the podium and spoke to me."
Olmert said he argued that the United States should not vote in favor, and the president then called Rice and told her not to do so. "She was left pretty embarrassed," Olmert said.
But the quotes don't do the gaffe justice. I saw it on the news last night. The body language, the cheesy little-boy grin: a truly remarkable display of old-style Israeli machoistic baloney. Predictably, the State Department is beside itself. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said that Olmert's remarks "are wholly inaccurate as to describing the situation, just 100%, totally, completely not true." It's not a risky bet to assume McCormack is right. The story is just implausible.
Whatever you say about the State Department, all in all the Bush Administration has remained remarkably consistent in its support of Israel — more so even than the Reagan Administration, which in its last years recognized the PLO. To give Bush and Secretary Rice this kind of last-minute kick in the pants was remarkably inelegant.
Israeli voters are unlikely to take this kindly. The biggest victim is Tzipi Livni, who has done everything she can to bury Olmert in order to maximize her party's chances of re-election. Just in case we had forgotten why we're having elections in the first place…

AMANPOUR: Good morning. I'm Christiane Amanpour, and at the top of the news this week, the fight for Afghanistan. The U.S.-led surge pushes ahead. As corruption threatens the Afghan government and U.S. support for the war, Afghanistan's president, Hamid Karzai, answers tough questions in an exclusive "This Week" interview. Does he think the U.S. can defeat the Taliban? What kind of deal is he willing to make with them?
And then, the controversy over the Islamic center near ground zero.
(UNKNOWN): How is that (inaudible), by building a mosque, an
in-your-face mosque at ground zero?
(UNKNOWN): 9/11 was not conducted by Muslims, it was conducted by terrorists.
AMANPOUR: As the debate rages, the woman behind the Islamic center, Daisy Khan, speaks out exclusively on "This Week."
KHAN: When (inaudible) both, we don't understand that.
AMANPOUR: And she'll be joined by a key adviser on the project,
Rabbi Joy Levitt.
Plus, more dismal news on the economy. What happened to the summer of recovery? We'll tackle that and all of the week's politics on our roundtable with George Will, Robert Reich, Judy Woodruff and Al Hunt.
And the Sunday Funnies.
STEPHEN COLBERT, TALK SHOW HOST: We're out of Iraq. And best of all, we got out two weeks ahead of schedule. Now, Iraq will always be remembered as the war that ended early.
AMANPOUR: As the U.S. surge pushes into Afghanistan, Kandahar has become the focus of the effort to root out the Taliban and other insurgent fighters. But with less than one year remaining before the U.S. says at least some of the troops will be withdrawn, brazen Taliban attacks continue. ABC's Miguel Marquez was on the frontlines of the fight at Kandahar and he has this report.
MIGUEL MARQUEZ, ABC NEWS: With surge troops in place, success or failure here now in the hands of soldiers like Captain Warren Green (ph) from Columbus, Georgia.
(UNKNOWN): Once we know the population here, if we see different people in the area, we're going to say, hey, you're a stranger.
MARQUEZ: The hardest fight -- separating friends from enemies on a battlefield that has no lines.
(UNKNOWN): You guys live in this area?
MARQUEZ: One minute, soldiers are getting to know their neighbors. The next...
(UNKNOWN): (inaudible), over.
(UNKNOWN): 136, just tell me where you're taking contact (ph) from.
MARQUEZ: ... they're under fire.
The biggest prize in the fight for Afghanistan -- Kandahar. It's the country's second largest city and a rich agricultural area just west of it is Taliban central.
(UNKNOWN): This entire area is very important. And we know that. And we're pushing on all sides.
MARQUEZ: The push here is political as well as military. Kandahar's government is weak and it will be up to power brokers like Ahmed Wali Karzai, the president's brother, a controversial figure, to give control over money and political power back to the government.

DESCRIPTIONReduction mammoplasty is the surgical excision of a substantial portion of the breast, including the skin and the underlying glandular tissue, until a clinically normal size is obtained. Because breast are paired organs and macromastia generally affects both sides, bilateral surgery is usually performed.
Occasionally, when there is significant, one-sided hypertrophy, a unilateral breast reduction is performed. Such a procedure may also be needed to match the contralateral side when the opposite breast has been reconstructed after mastectomy (reconstruction).
Reduction mammoplasty is similar to mastopexy, since nearly all hypertrophic breasts are ptotic and must be lifted during correction.
Although various techniques have been developed for breast reduction, nearly all require a pedicle to carry the nipple areola to its new position and a circumareolar incision as well as an inverted T incision beneath the areola. In gigantomastia, the nipple-areola is often removed as a free full-thickness graft and positioned appropriately.
POLICYCosmetic procedures are not considered eligible for coverage. Cosmetic services do not become eligible for coverage because of psychiatric or emotional problems.
Liposuction, using any method for any condition including obesity and reduction mammoplasty, is considered cosmetic.
Reconstructive procedures are considered eligible for coverage. To be considered medically necessary, there must be documentation that the procedure is to be performed to restore bodily function or correct deformity resulting from disease, trauma, or complication of previous non-cosmetic surgery. If this documentation is not present, the procedure should be considered cosmetic and not covered.
The following will be reviewed for a determination as to whether the procedure is cosmetic or reconstructive:
In accordance with the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA), all group health insurance as well as individual contracts that provide coverage for a mastectomy must comply with the following requirements:
Bilateral reduction mammoplasty in a female is considered medically necessary and not cosmetic when all of the following clinical indications and/or physical findings listed below are present. The following changes will be effective November 1, 2004. Anyone under 15 years of age must have a primary care physician referral or consult. This evaluation should be a part of the requesting physician's chart. In addition, all of the following items must be documented in the requesting physician's chart. (added 7-15-2004).
Unilateral reduction mammoplasty in a female over the age of 18 is considered medically necessary and not cosmetic when all of the following clinical indications and/or physical findings are present:
Mastectomy for gynecomastia in a male over the age of 18 is medically necessary if the tissue removed is glandular breast tissue and not the result of obesity, adolescence, or reversible effects of drug treatment which can be discontinued. Removal of fatty tissue is considered cosmetic (added 7-16-2001).
In males, exogenous sources of estrogen must be sought before consideration of surgery. If an endocrine workup is negative and the exceptions listed below are not present, surgery may be considered.
Removal of breast tissue in the male for gynecomastia is not covered when resulting from any of the following:

KH-The Other StoryNew In Town
-Part One-
>> Watching the buildings blur by, Sora couldn't help but smile. They were tall and very strict looking..something he wanted to just go and climb up, if he could. The downtown part of the city was full of disgruntled, somewhat angry walkers on their way to work, bumping into one another without a passing glance. However, the spiky haired teenager didn't mind it all. They weren't going to move onto the sidewalk, anyways! No, the place Sora was excited for was his new home. It was a large, two story white house with large windows and a fancy kitchen. (Mom liked cooking...so naturally, they would get one with a nice kitchen)
The 15 year old laughed as the car came to a stop at the red light. A woman power walked, wearing a flashy pink jumpsuit and walking a tiny Pomeranian. He started chuckling again as she tripped over the curb and her dog went running.
"What are you so happy about, anyways?"
Sora turned around in the comfy seat to see his brother. The blond
Why?Don't look at me with your eyes in judgement.

My friends.
My friends my friends my friends...they were all I had.
Are you satisfied?
You got want you wanted, after all.
The keyblade master.
Sora-me...me and Sora.
Now you can get your little "revenge"
I hate that you'll never know!
You will never know what I have lost.
Don't you feel remorse?!
For your own foolish revenge,
You were willing to put me in some fake place
Fake places, fake faces.
YOU did this!
I hate you....
I hate you so much...
I'm a person, I have feelings...
Don't I?
I have a right to be...
I know I do
Don't tell me you know my story.
I lost someone dear to me...
And I can't even remember her name.
I lost Axel.
He just wanted us to hang out again.
Is that so much to ask?
Just to sit and talk?
I guess so...
My heart belongs to me!
Those things you said
They hurt me...

The Burned"Goddamnit, I thought he was supposed to be here by now."
"Oh shut up! I didn't know he was gonna be so late!"
"Ven...don't tell me he's bringing his ex, right?"
"Shit..." He spit and put in a piece of 5 gum. "You remember what happened with his last ex?"
"Well...yeah but-"
"Crap, here he comes! ...Is that her?"
"Looks like it."
Slowly becoming illuminated by the light from the street lamp, Riku and his apparent ex-girlfriend looked around with interest. Ven waved pleasantly at them, and took a few steps forward, to be fully engulfed by the comforting yellow light. "Hey Riku! So, is the girl I've heard so much about?" He pointed to the girl, and she stepped out of Riku's shadow, as if establishing herself without him.
"Me? Heh." She awkwardly held to the side of her shockingly bright lime green skirt, then looked up. "I'm Xion. Nice to meet you."
"Sure!" Ven laughed and pointed to Roxas and gave him 'the look'. It was more of a twin thing than anything. "I'm Ventus, and this is m

It was an extremely warm day on Destiny Island so Xion and her sisters Kairi and Namine, had decided it would be fun to spend the day on the large beach that surrounded their homes, maybe play in the sea for a while as well.
Xion felt a little uneasy as she watched her sisters prance around in their bikinis whilst she stood in her vest and shorts, she just felt uncomfortable with revealing so much flesh knowing that there were bo
You're My XionYou're My Xion
Xion sat atop the clock tower, watching the train pass in the distance. In her left hand was a sea-salt ice cream pop, the melting blue ice trickling down the popsicle stick and getting on her glove. Her right hand was placed over her chest where her heart would have been if it existed. A sigh escaped her lips as she realized her two best friends probably weren't going to show up. She was alone, which meant those voices would return.
"You're useless," Saix's voice rang through her head.
"You're nothing but a replica, Poppet," Xigbar's voice sneered.
"Are you crazy? Roxas couldn't love you! First of all, Nobodies can't love, and second of all, you're a part of him!"
"If Nobodies could love, Roxas would love Axel."
Xion lowered her head as that thought passed through her head. "They they have been hanging out a lot together," she choked, tears starting to stream down her cheeks. "What if the others are right?"
Then another nasty voice came into he

Without Fear Or Favor
How Tiger Woods could have turned a misstep into a giant step forward
Tiger did the right thing. After the rules imbroglio at the 2013 Masters in which the Augusta National rules committee spared him disqualification and levied only a two-stroke penalty for a bad drop, Tiger consulted his advisors and decided for the good of Tiger Inc., if not the game, he would withdraw from the Masters before the start of the third round. He packed his bags, met with the press and said:�
"I put the integrity of the game above everything else, certainly above myself and even above the Masters. There's no question in my mind this is what Bob Jones would have done in these circumstances. I didn't knowingly break the rules, but I broke the rules nonetheless. I appreciate the rules committee taking the blame for not warning me before I signed my scorecard, but the first Rule of Golf is that the player is solely responsible for his score. If I am fortunate enough to beat Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 pro majors, I want to do it without any question or hint of favor. As far as I'm concerned, this is the end of the discussion. If people want further comment, I refer them to what Mr. Jones said when thanked for calling a rule on himself that cost him a tournament: 'You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank.' "
And Tiger lived up to his word. He declined to appear on either the "Today" or "Tonight" shows. He didn't even agree to an interview with Kelly Tilghman on "Morning Drive." He got on his private plane and flew home to Florida and began to prepare with single-minded purpose for the U.S. Open at Merion, which he won by several strokes, never taking the driver out of his bag.
The marketing men said it was pure genius. Steiny couldn't book the endorsements quick enough. President Obama said Tiger embodied American values. The Wall Street Journal published an editorial praising "the New Tiger." His public perception climbed overnight. Not winning took care of everything.�
At year's end he was voted the USGA's highest honor, the Bob Jones Award for sportsmanship--an award most insiders felt that he, like the rascal Sam Snead, would never win. There has always been the impression that success in golf was tied to inner character, as in the widespread belief that you can know the measure of a man by simply playing a round of golf with him. Rarely conceived in other sports where getting away with as much as you can is de rigueur, golf is self-policing. Tiger's WD reinforced this natural order that had been handed down from Jones to Nelson to Hogan to Palmer to Nicklaus to Watson.�
The decision to, in effect, disqualify himself would go down as one of the legendary gestures of sportsmanship alongside Nicklaus conceding Tony Jacklin the two-foot�putt that would tie the 1969�Ryder Cup and German long-jumper Luz Long advising Jesse Owens to start his long jump short of the foul line�to ensure qualifying for the final after fouling in his first two attempts at the 1936 Summer Olympics. (Long would go on to get the silver to Owens' gold.)�
Aside from being viewed�as the right thing to do,�Tiger's decision was hailed�by branding experts as a turning point in his public image. "He had the presence of mind to know that the worst possible outcome would have been to win that Masters after a questionable ruling," said a senior advisor on Team Tiger. "Some would forever call it 14-plus-1 majors. Tiger would have to win 20 to beat Jack's record of 18."�
The whole incident had a profound effect on Augusta National as well. Club members no longer serve as amateur rules officials in the Masters. The club deviated from its long-held tradition and hired professional referees to walk with each group inside the ropes. The tournament was no longer viewed among rules officials as "an accident waiting to happen."
Years later the decision was cited when Masters chairwoman Condoleezza Rice invited Tiger to join Nicklaus and Palmer as only the third tournament winner to become a club member.�
What do you think? Should Tiger Woods have withdrawn from the Masters? Sound off in the comments section below.

Italy's Confagricoltura Sees Risk of Food Riots on Harvest Slump
July 30 (Bloomberg) -- An expected slump in global grain production on drought in the U.S, the Black Sea region and Europe may cause shortages and food riots in the Middle East, Italian farm-industry organization Confagricoltura said.
Unusual weather is "drastically compromising" the grain harvest in the Black Sea region from Russia to Ukraine and Kazakhstan, as well as in Europe, mainly in Italy but also Hungary, Romania and Serbia, the Rome-based group wrote in an e-mailed statement today.
"The climatic shocks will have a major impact on the economy and society," Confagricoltura wrote. "The consequences risk being a shortage of food for the population and socio-political upheaval."
Corn prices in Chicago have climbed more than 60 percent since mid-June to a record amid concern that heat and drought will reduce harvests in the U.S., as well as southern Europe and Ukraine, resulting in a draining of global stockpiles.

Getting the house ready for new siding
After hours and hours of calling around looking for shingles that didn't cost an arm and a leg I finally ordered the new shingles. Got them from a place called Liberty Cedar in Rhode Island. They know everything about cedar and even though they don't deliver to Albany they arranged transportation. The goods will arrive […] [Read More]
Cedar Shingle Siding
Residing a house with wooden shingles is not nearly as easy as it was 100 years ago. Not every contractor knows how to apply wooden shingles properly, there are many kinds of wooden shingles to choose from (not necessarily true in the Capital District but in the Northeast it is true) and not every lumber […] [Read More]

South Carolina residents joined a nationwide moment of silence Thursday in observance of an unarmed black Missouri teenager fatally shot by a police officer and other victims who organizers say died of police brutality.
Columbia's WLTX reports dozens of peaceful protesters took to the State House where they held signs for hours in support of the city of Ferguson, Mo. More than 90 cities held vigils, which came days after the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown and the death of a New York man caused by a police officer's chokehold.
In Greenville more than 200 people, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, observed the moment of silence as well, according to The Greenville News. In Orlando, Florida, about 15 miles outside the Sanford suburb where unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman in 2012, a multicultural crowd of about 100 people gathered in front of a park amphitheater, the Associated Press reported.
In New York, thousands of people peacefully gathered in Manhattan's Times Square and Union Square, invoking the rallying cries "hands up, don't shoot" and "I can't breathe," alluding to the death of 43-year-old Eric Garner, who was arrested on Staten Island on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes and was placed in an officer's chokehold.
Garner, who had asthma, can be heard on tape shouting "I can't breathe!" and died a short time later.

Love this Moisturizer
Par Jenn
de Toronto, Ontario
This moisturizer smells fabulous and is rich and absorbs deeply. I was hesitant to try another line, but very happy I did. I also received the Green Apple Firming Body Moisturizer (either a showstopper/blockbuster) which I use at work as my all-day hand cream - hope TSC gets this back in stock.

juice beauty peel
Par Queen B
de edmonton, Alberta
This the greatest peel. I use the sensitive which is fine but to use it as often as I should I can't afford it. I do love it and would recamend it to anyone. I can't spell but you get the drift/.
I would buy this product again.
Par Weezie

I'm an Aesthetician and I use this
Par C.G.B
de Halifax
I've heard great things about this line and especially this product so I figured I would give it a try. After using it twice a week for a month I'm pleased with the reduction in hyperpigmentation. It has evened out the skin tone quite a bit(I have very light skin with minimal to moderate sun damage). I have worked in the beauty industry as an Aesthetician for nearly 10 years and this gets my thumbs up. This product has actually replaced my professional brand 'lightening serum' I'm that pleased with it. Definitely worth a try and the money.

Love the Juice Beauty Line!
Par BRENDA
de DARTMOUTH
I have used many of the skin care lines, and when I saw this one (with this as a part of a blockbuster), I tried it - absolutely love it! I have sensitive skin, so I tried it every other day to get used to it, but it goes on smooth and your skin feels and looks great!

Kilner Jars have been around for a while. In fact, Walter Whittard himself probably had a couple stored away in his kitchen cupboard… Today, these iconic jars are the perfect pick-me-up glass for a picnic – we love them filled to the brim with iced tea and chopped fruit, and topped off with one of our colourful paper straws!
Choose from a fashionable pink, brilliant blue, or simply go for chic and clear – we couldn't decide, so we chose all three!

Texans who love their cheesy enchiladas and chicken-fried steak, take heart.
Lawmakers who want to ban trans fats in Texas restaurants say there's no need to worry about losing any flavor in their favorite foods if healthy oils and ingredients are used instead.
Sen. Eliot Shapleigh of El Paso and Rep. Carol Alvarado of Houston, both democrats,have introduced legislation that would phase in bans of trans fats in restaurants.
They say the move would help fight the obesity epidemic and help reduce health insurance costs.
And, giving weight to their argument is the Texas Restaurant Association. The industry group said Monday that many of its members are moving to get rid of trans fats anyway, and that the association backs the legislation
To get more insight on the recent legislation, Anne Newton, a registered dietitian at the Physicians Centre appeared on News 3 at 5.

ROCKY RIVER -- For parents who are out of work, it can seem like an impossible problem to solve: How to interview for jobs when you can't afford to pay for your child's daycare.
One Ohio woman is on a mission to change that.
Stella Moga-Kennedy arrived in America from Romania in 1979 with no money, no home and no knowledge of the English language. She started a daycare center, Le Chaperon Rouge, in the basement of a small church.
"You Americans, you allowed me to be whatever I wanted. I wanted to become a success," Moga-Kennedy said.
Today Le Chaperon Rouge has nine locations and serves almost 1,000 children in Northeast Ohio.
Moga-Kennedy says she's seen the struggle families have with finances in this economy.
Parents like Liz Monahan, whose two children have attended Le Chaperon Rouge.
Monahan has been fighting cancer for six years. She works full time and her husband did as well, up until 2009.
"My husband called me at work one day and said, 'I'm packing up my desk. There's been budget cuts.' He'd been laid off," Monahan said.
No longer able to afford care at Le Chaperon Rouge, the Monahans were thinking about pulling their daughter from the program.
Though that created another issue for them: With Liz working full time, who would look after their child while her husband interviewed?
"Where are you going to take your kids so you can go do that job interview, or go prepare to get ready for it? Do what you need to get back on your feet?" Monahan asked.
Moved to tears by the situation of families like hers, Moga-Kennedy told the Monahans not to worry.
"Go and do the job interview, and let me take care of your child," she said.
Over the past 30 years, Moga-Kennedy has provided over $500,000 in child care services free of charge to parents that are looking for jobs.
She's offering free child care at Le Chaperon Rouge for parents who are actively seeking jobs, and have interviews lined up. She's also helped people outside of childcare.
Katheryn Womack is a single mother who also happens to be fighting cancer. She works full time today, but after her diagnosis, she had to quit work for a while.
It became difficult for her to afford the tuition at Le Chaperon Rouge, where her two daughters are thriving.
"They are so happy here. There's just no place like this," Womack said.
Moga-Kennedy helped Womack keep her daughters enrolled. The generosity moves all three women to tears.
"I'm very fortunate to be able to give back. For the rest of my life, this is my mission," Moga-Kennedy said.
REPORTER'S NOTE: The free tuition is temporary, just for the day parents have a job interview scheduled.
Parents need just provide proof of a job interview, such as an email from a potential employer, as well as their child's health records if they're in need of childcare help.
Moga-Kennedy says, from the bottom of her heart, she wants to help as many people as she can as they look for work.

Video Game History Month: Shinji Mikami
Shinji Mikami is a 25-year veteran of the video game industry. We reflect on his long and varied career in this feature.
by Tyler Winegarner on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Bring back the old camera and controls !
The creator of my favourite game series of all time. And also the man behind other excelent games... This man is a genius. I just wish he would get back on RE games, we're losing what made the series great. I'm also anxious to see how Zwei is like...
best game designer ever
i want a horror game made by SHINJI MIKAMI!!!!CMON SURVIVOR HORROR!!!!!!!!PLEASE COME BACK....!!!!!!!!!!
SNES's Aladdin is a wonderful game and still one of my favorites to this day I never got into any resident evil games, but I might just buy vanquish now, a true craftsmen
Video's too short. I wish GameSpot talked more about the Disney games and other Resident Evil games and not just RE4. I was also hoping they could piece together some interviews with Shinji Mikami himself in this video. Good video but not good enough.
Great video guys, my only objection Kevin is that Resident Evil 2 was his best game. RE4 was more influential, I agree with that.
i love the old controls and cameras of resident evil
i want Shinji Mikami to make resident evil 6 i love his games
Long life for him
I appreciate his work and contributions. I thought Resident Evil was the first game I had ever played of his but turns out it was that Aladdin one for Sega. Keep rockin Shinji-san!
I love his games. The dude is genius!
wow blackscreen that was an awesome game
He is a living [GOD]
completely blank image for 20 seconds??
the man with the god hand...watch out gatsu
Shinji Mikami is probably my favorite game designer followed very closely by Hideo Kojima. I mean, Mikami was the driving force behind the Resident Evil series including RE4 which completely revolutionized third person shooters and then he went on to make Vanquish which one of the best games this gen and now he's making Shadows of the Damned with Suda51. The man has an impressive track record for fantastic games.
Shinji is the man

Green Seaglass Vase Fillers 2 2
Green Beach Glass The colors are more of a pale green to mint. Looks nothing like photo. No green to blue tones. Kind of disappointing. I was hoping for more ocean blue/green tones from going off the internet photo. June 23, 2014
Misleading photo Agree with the previous review that the product does not match the photo. The bag I received was mostly cloudy white pieces with a few pale green pieces thrown in. Nothing like the photo at all which is very misleading. July 16, 2014

4 ears
fresh corn kernels
tomatoes, chopped
hot yellow banana pepper, chopped
2 cloves
garlic, minced
1 cup
chopped green bell pepper
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh thyme
lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons
olive oil
Awesome fresh recipie. We initially thought the corn would be too much, but it was oh so delicious. IT's the perfect salsa for that hot, summer night.
We added some things that we think kicked the recipie up a few notches:
1/2 of a medium vidalia onion,
Use Sweet White Corn instead of Yellow,
Small Bundle of Cilantro, chopped,
Few Dashes of Salt (to taste),
Fresh Ground Pepper (to taste),
Two Small Jalipeno Peppers, Chopped and Seeded.
Thanks for the great recipie. It's a little more expensive to make due to all the fresh ingredients, but it is soooo worth it.
The salsa was ok... wasn't really special and if you are looking for a traditional salsa this is not it. I would say the effort in preparing is not worth the product.
9 Ratings
This is not for salsa traditionalists! Prepare with an open mind and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed the use of fresh herbs, and I added some coarsely chopped red onion. Next time I will add more garlic and maybe some jalapenos for extra flavor!
This was awesome! I made only a few minor changes to the recipe - I added salt and pepper and I used two seeded and chopped jalapenos in place of the banana chile. I served it for lunch with a green salad w/ miso dressing, sauteed onions and oyster mushrooms, and tofu with soy sauce and hot sesame oil. My boyfriend and I made "yummy noises" all through the meal. Thanks!
This was delicious. Of course, it is way better in the summer when you can get corn and tomatoes at their very best. I did have to use an Anaheim pepper as banana peppers were not available and I added some green onion for a little bite. I will certainly make this again. Thanks for posting.
I am challenged when it comes to cooking or preparing foods. As such, it isn't clear to me if the corn in this dish is supposed to be cooked or not. And, if it is coming straight off the cob, how does one best keep the kernels in tac.
This was awful.

The Chicago Rat Pack "One Swingin' Night"
Egyptian Theatre - DeKalb, IL. For over 18 years, the unforgettable trio (Frank, Sammy and Dean) excited audiences nightly at the Copa Room and the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. These wonderful performances have been recreated with remarkable accuracy. Critics all proclaim "One Swinging Night" as being as close as any person could come to experiencing the original Rat Pack. With so much talent on stage together, these wild wonderful performers would set the standard tone for all those who came to Vegas throughout the Swinging 60's. How could these performances be anything less than historical? The Chicago Rat Pack's show, "One Swinging Night" is perhaps one of the few special productions that shall become as timeless as the actual counterparts (Sammy, Frank and Dean). This fantastic show transports its audiences to a time when life was a lot less complicated. "One Swinging Night" is a brilliant reenactment of the "Summit." This was the period at which all three of the magnificent super-stars were at the prime of their wonderful careers. At times, these three actors seem to transcend reality by totally becoming the characters they portray. Along with this and the fact that each member of this cast is very talented in his own right makes "One Swinging Night" a show that must be seen!

Woman identifies Sulaimon Brown as man who harassed her teen daughter
A Southeast D.C. woman and her teenage daughter identified video Thursday of Sulaimon Brown as the the man the mother filed a restraining order against in 2007 for what she considered his inappropriate relationship with her then-13-year-old daughter.
Wanda Battle said, "That's him. That's the security guard that used to live around here."
When asked why she filed the stay-away order, Battle replied, "Something going on with him messing with my daughter."
"I think he wasn't a gentleman. I mean, he shouldn't even want to be around children that age," she added, saying Brown was taking the then-13-year-old girl "to stores, giving her money, asking, Can he be her godfather? -- stuff like that."
Battle's daughter is now 17.
Brown, who was hired and then fired last month by D.C. Mayor Vince Gray's administration, has said he has no recollection of the incident, and said he wasn't in D.C. at the time.
"That never happened. I never was served with any papers, there's no judge on there, there's not courtroom, no court stamp, they haven't produced any witnesses," he said.
The stay-away order was never served because officials could not locate Brown. No charges were ever filed.
But Battle doesn't believe Brown's version. "He should remember because he got fired from the property around here" after she complained.
Workers at the apartment complex couldn't recall whether Brown worked there at the time of the incident, saying turnover among guards was high. It was unclear what company handled security at the apartment complex at the time of the alleged incident.
Brown has accused Gray's campaign staff of paying him cash and promising him a job for attacking then-Mayor Adrian Fenty during debates. Gray has denied the allegations and called for a full investigation.
The U.S. Attorneys office for D.C. and the FBI are assessing the allegations.
Gray also retained high-profile attorney Robert Bennett, the same attorney who represented former president Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky affair.
"I just want to make sure that we have someone to refer these issues to, someone to talk do during this whole process as well," Gray said.

Being a traveling, full-time musician, I come across players of all kinds in this world. I am one of the blessed people who have had the privilege to share the stage with the Latvian Blues Band. This band consists of young musicians who have great respect and admiration for the blues.
I first met this group of musicians in 2001 when I was asked along with my friend, Giles Corey to play at the Bites Blues Club in Riga. At that time, the band that was to back us up was very young but very well versed in many styles of blues and other types of music. These days, they are still very young (some look younger now than then) and even more experienced. Their resumes far exceed anything I could imagine. They play behind musicians that most sidemen and band leaders can only dream of and they do it extremely well. It's a trip to travel to Eastern Europe and hear Muddy Waters the way it was supposed to sound. It's even more of a trip to hear them play some Professor Longhair or Dr. John, or James Booker with me and make me feel like I need to go home and practice my chops. There have been very few membership changes in this band and I think that that is due to the fact that these guys are not only fellow musicians but also very good friends. And their friendship carries over to the players they share the stage with. I'm talking about good vibes and good moments on stage as well as off the stage. The only negative connotation I know about this band is that they are known for backing up other artists and not so much for their own material. I say this because I know that they have a lot of their own stuff to offer that stems from that blues tradition that I and they admire. I hope that the blues world will take note of their own show because it is a world-class blues show like nothing else. Great vocals and instrumentation! Every artist deserves their own recognition and I hope that this band get it. Being from Chicago I believe that I know good players when I see them. I strongly endorse the Latvian Blues Band and hope to continue my relationship with them for many years to come.

Lenny Tristia Tambun, SP/Hotman Siregar & SP/Edi Hardum
Administrations past and present have between them spent hundreds of billions of rupiah to prepare for floods, but yet again on Thursday, Jakarta — usually a symbol of power and progress in Indonesia — was left crippled by rain.
Thursday's flood in Jakarta left many people unable to come to work when traffic came to a standstill for hours. In some areas, roads turned into impenetrable pools of brownish water, infested with disease and sewage.
Thousands were displaced from their homes and at least nine people were killed as water reached heights of up to three meters. Flooding this year not only affected communities in riverbanks but also struck at the heart of Jakarta's business districts and even hit the center of power: the State Palace.
"We are nearing high tides. If heavy rains continue to hit Jakarta, the upstream areas of Jakarta will drown for sure," Firdaus Ali, executive director of the Indonesian Water Institute, said on Thursday.
Other analysts said the government needed to see the problem more comprehensively, adding that the reasons for the flooding were interconnected.
"The scope and problems [causing] the floods in Jakarta continue to increase. Aside from the natural factors, it's also contributed to by anthropogenic [man-made] factors," National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said recently.
At the heart of the problem is the city's failure to keep up with the growing population and burgeoning economy, increasing volume of catchment areas converted into housing areas. "The solution is proper management. We can learn much from neighboring countries," Trisakti University urban planning expert Yayat Supriyatna said on Thursday.
The problem is especially true for the upstream area of Puncak, the mountainous region of West Java that is the site of holiday homes for many of Jakarta's rich and powerful, Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB) researcher Ernan Rustiadi said recently.
Further downstream, the exploitation of ground water to meet Jakartans demand for water has led to a rapid rate of subsidence, estimated at 10 to 20 centimeters per year. Data from the city government has shown that the ground level in some parts of North Jakarta has fallen by 4.1 meters.
The city uses 532 million cubic meters of ground water per year, or 46 percent of known supply, according to the Indonesian Green Institute. It is replenished at a much slower rate.
But the government has shied away from issuing tough regulations to reduce the problem. Instead, policy makers seem more inclined toward mega projects, such as constructing canals and dams, as well as restoring infrastructure damaged by floods.
Thursday's flood brings into question whether the infrastructure projects were properly maintained or were adequate to keep up with the increasing volume of water flowing into Jakarta's main waterways.
On Thursday, the West Flood Canal, which stretches from Manggarai in South Jakarta to the Pluit reservoir in North Jakarta, burst, inundating much of the commercial district along Central and South Jakarta's Jalan Thamrin and Jalan Sudirman.
The Rp 4.9 trillion ($508 million) East Flood Canal also failed to do its work as areas in East and North Jakarta were also affected by floods.
Nirwono Yoga, another expert from Trisakti University, said Jakarta must first prioritize reclaiming areas that were earlier designated as catchment but converted for housing or commerce.
Governor Joko Widodo last month said his administration's plans to double the amount of open green space in the capital hinge on three major projects this year.
Joko said he wanted to dedicate at least 20 percent of the city's total area to open green space during his first term in office, up from the current figure of just 9.8 percent.
But Nirwono said there must be a dedicated team to inspect whether this target is met. "There must be an RTH [green public space] auditing team, particularly for RTH in private buildings and business centers," he said.
The expert said the government must also normalize the flow of all 13 major rivers across Jakarta. Human settlements have encroached on the waterways, narrowing it to a width of 20 to 30 meters from the original 100 meters.
A budget of Rp 2.3 trillion for 2011 to 2014 has been set to dredge the Pesanggrahan, Angke and Sunter rivers. Similarly, the Jakarta Emergency Dredging Initiative for the Cengkareng Drain, Sunter River, West Flood Canal, Cideng River, Angke River and others run from 2013 to 2014.
Joko is also pushing for the construction of a multipurpose deep tunnel. The tunnel is modeled after Malaysia's Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel, which has eased floods and traffic congestion in Kuala Lumpur.
