If you guys didn't catch The Late Show With David Letterman last night, you missed one of the most epic episodes of Letterman's long-running late night TV career. John McCain just so happened to be scheduled to appear on the show prior to his abrupt decision to call "Game Off" on his whole presidential campaign after the poll numbers started looking like he was completely doomed. But in order for McCain's claim that he's "suspending his campaign" in the interest of rushing to Washington to fix the imploding economy (because what would Washington do without the economic expertise of John McCain!?!) to seem credible, he of course couldn't be appearing on late night comedy shows. So he canceled on Dave at the last minute, which Dave really didn't seem to appreciate. Especially since McCain couldn't even feel confident enough in his running mate Sarah Palin to send her in his place. And especially when Dave discovered a live feed of McCain getting his make-up done before going on the air with Katie Couric, on Dave's very own TV network. What ensued was one of the most unmerciful TV beatings of a lifetime that I've ever seen. Best part of the whole thing: Paul Shaffer.

While You Were Suspending Your Disbelief
- Perez Hilton has released a song called "The Clap". Listening to the song is kind of like having the clap, on top of a burning scab, in your ear, which is bleeding. Basically this is the most horrible thing you'll ever hear in your life and you should only listen to it if you're a cutter.
- VH1 has made a list of the 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs of All Time, with "Fight The Power" taking the top spot. Luckily Flavor Flav was on hand to accept the award, and reaffirm his continued commitment to fighting said power by pretending to date crazy whores on his nightmare of a reality show.
- Also putting in a late bid for the title of greatest rapper of all time: Ed McMahon.
- Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are reportedly in couples counseling and considering the idea of getting back together. Now that she's showed her vagina to the world, gone crazy on drugs, dated a paparazzo, ventured within an itch of total mental collapse and picked up a few VMA awards on the way back to sanity, I say why not?
- John McCain spends more than $5,500 on the make-up that makes him look like a shriveled old albino prune.

CAPTION THIS: "Greed Is…Not So Good?"
Michael Douglas at the UN yesterday, fielding questions about the financial crisis. Seriously. We're just asking Gordon Gekko now.
He went on to sum up the whole deal for us in a nice nutshell: "The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own. We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy, are you buddy? It's the free market. And you're a part of it. You've got that killer instinct. Stick around pal, I've still got a lot to teach you. "

ICYMI: We May Have Finally Found The Most Insane Thing On Television
Our old pal Rob Huebel pointed us in the direction of this clip from the Sci-Fi channel's show Scare Tactics, which could only be described as what Punk'd might look like if Ashton Kutcher was a sociopathic Satan-worshiping psycho-killer. It's literally a show about scaring the sh*t out of people in the most evil ways imaginable, and the following segment may be the most insane thing ever broadcast on television.
While You Were Giving Up On Fringe
- Holy f*cking sh*t!
- Nicole Kidman credits fertile Australian water for her pregnancy. Meanwhile her husband Keith Urban credits all the doing it they did.
- When Rock of Love 2 contestant Angelique stopped by the offices of our Vh1 brethren at Scandalist, she went crazy for one of the guys in the office (who must have been wearing a bandanna, hair extensions and eyeliner) and repeatedly stated that she wanted to f*ck him. Yeah I'll never forget the time Frank Stallone showed up at my own office and sent me a barrage of MySpace messages about wanting to "get wit me".
- Okay this nostalgic update of 90210 was one thing, but if anyone starts talking seriously about re-making Melrose Place, I'm literally going to blow up my television.

AD WIZARDS: The Dramatel Cell Phone Card Will Destroy Infidelity As We Know It
Even if this commercial were a joke, which I thought it was, it would be completely amazing. But the fact that Dramatel – a cell phone service that supposedly allows you to disguise your identity on caller ID, and your voice in phone conversation – appears to be 100% real is nothing short of mind-blowing. Are you trying to catch a cheating spouse? Someone who owes you money just won't return your calls? Do you just like to trick and scare people? Then Dramatel may very well change your life. Dramatel: reach out and seriously f*ck with someone.
ICYMI: Charlize Theron Exercises Her Freedom Of Speech To Make Startling Claim That The Hills Lacks Substance
While sitting down with MTV Movies during the press junket to promote her new film Battle In Seattle, perhaps seized by the spirit of protest, Charlize Theron invoked her freedom of speech to boldly proclaim her distaste for MTV's pseudo-reality juggernaut The Hills, which Charlize feels lacks substance as it is "about nothing". While this stunning act of civil disobedience (on MTV's home turf nontheless!) was surely a brave one, Charlize did seem to be overly insecure about the possibility that she's simply too old – or as she says, "a nana" – to possibly understand the deeper, richer nuances of a bunch of shiny LA brats pointlessly arguing with each other every week.

3 scheduled at Raleigh TV debate for US Senate
RALEIGH — U.S. Senate candidate Thom Tillis says he won't participate in a televised debate the night before early voting begins for the May 6 primary.
A Tillis campaign spokesman said Monday the state House speaker had a long-standing commitment that prevents him from participating in the Republican primary debate April 23 at the WRAL-TV studios in Raleigh.
The station says Greg Brannon of Cary, Heather Grant of Wilkesboro and Mark Harris of Charlotte are slated to appear on the half-hour debate to air live on WRAL, a Wilmington station, and possibly more.
Spokesman Jordan Shaw says Tillis has committed to two other TV debates to which he was invited — April 22 at Davidson College and April 28 at the UNC-TV studios in Research Triangle Park.

STARKVILLE, Miss.--When a partially disabled student worker at Mississippi State's Sanderson Recreation Center discovered his wheelchair didn't fit well at his work station, the university family came together to make a difference.
Junior history major Will Graves, of Soso, began working in the Sanderson Center in fall 2012. Office associate Jeannine Reed immediately recognized that Graves would benefit from a more user-friendly workspace. Despite his having to move from desk to desk to complete his responsibilities, Graves said a new desk would not be necessary.
"The desk I had in there -- I just made it work. I told her, 'I'm a chameleon. I just adapt and go with the flow,'" Graves said. "But they wanted to get me something that worked for me."
Reed said she was determined to make sure that Graves could access everything he needed to do his job from one central location.
"The welcome desk where he's also taking photo IDs--that location is where he needed to be," she said. "He's well spoken, so we knew he would be a good welcome-desk person. He talks to new members and tells what services we offer; he answers phones and he sorts and files. Will does all kinds of things."
Because of a chance flooding in one of Sanderson's studios, maple floorboards were already available for the project, said Patrik Nordin, associate director of recreational facilities. While staples and glue had to be removed so the wood could be resurfaced, the material was strong enough to make a desk that could last for years.
With the project conceptualized and the material readily available, the only thing Sanderson officials still needed was to recruit a person to design and build the desk. Reed knew just the right person for the task -- senior art major Morgan Welch of Madison.
MSU's recreational sports department already was collaborating on a few projects with the College of Architecture, Art and Design's advanced sculpture class, she said. Critz Campbell, associate professor of art, trained those students in furniture design, and Welch was one of the best, Reed thought.
She asked Nordin to approach Campbell and see if Welch would be willing to take on the project of designing an American Disabilities Act-compliant desk that would suit Graves' needs.
"I concurred that Morgan would be an excellent choice," Campbell said. "The project fit well into Morgan's objectives in my advanced sculpture class for that semester. This allowed me to provide support for Morgan's project in a class setting."
Welch began by reviewing ADA guidelines, but he knew he'd be using the same furniture-design techniques he had learned in Campbell's sculpture class.
"I build furniture pieces that are the last piece of furniture that you have to buy," Welch said. "I like putting an object into the world that has the potential to last hundreds of years -- something that will stand that test of time."
Because custom-made furniture should suit its user's needs, Welch also met with Graves to discover his vision of the perfect desk.
"Morgan told me what he was doing, and he sat down and asked, 'What do you need?' I said, 'Well, something that I can fit under and something that is up high enough for me to work because the main thing is leg room,'" Graves said. "He was sitting there sketching while I was talking, and he had it all drawn up by the time I was done."
Welch made a set of full-scale drawings before he began the process of removing the glue and staples from the boards. Then, he resurfaced individual boards until he collected enough wood for the desk. He updated his class throughout the semester on his progress and setbacks along the way.
Not only did Welch make an "A" on the project in his advanced sculpture class, Graves has been using the desk during the spring semester.
"As soon as I got here to State, I was already part of the family. That's one thing I've noticed about Sanderson: It's very welcoming. I have enjoyed my time here because the people have just welcomed me, the whole campus," Graves said. "They did all they could to give me what I needed to work with."
Nordin said the collaborative project was a win-win. Salvaged wood from a water-damaged studio was used to develop a student's furniture-design experience and create a special desk for a hard-working student.

Spurs to audition Maggette, Young
By Jeff McDonald : September 26, 2013 : Updated: October 1, 2013 11:10am
Photo By Jim McIsaac / Getty ImagesCorey Maggette, 33, will compete with Sam Young for the final roster spot at training camp. The Spurs courted the one-time scoring machine in 2008 before he signed with the Warriors.
Photo By Andy Lyons / Getty ImagesYoung, 28, served as a key defensive reserve for Indiana, which got within a win of reaching the NBA Finals last season.
The Spurs are expected to extend training camp invitations to a pair of veteran NBA swingmen, a development that underscores the team's most glaring positional need heading into the 2013-14 campaign.
Sam Young and Corey Maggette are among the hopefuls expected to join the team when it opens camp at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Tuesday, NBA sources said.
Both will be among the
contenders for the 15th and final spot on the opening-day roster, which is lacking a backup for small forward Kawhi Leonard.
The Spurs' 20-man camp roster still is under construction and might not be released until Monday's media day.
Yet, the lines surrounding what should be camp's most heated battle already are being drawn.
Young, 28, split his first four NBA seasons among Memphis, Philadelphia and Indiana, where last season he was a key defensive reserve for the eventual Eastern Conference finalists.
Maggette, 33, was a scoring force earlier in his career, averaging a high of 22.2 points in 2004-05 with the Los Angeles Clippers. The Spurs courted Maggette as recently as the free-agent summer of 2008, when he spurned them to sign with Golden State.
Now clearly on the downside of his career, Maggette averaged 5.3 points in limited
action last season with Detroit, where he appeared in just 18 games and none after Dec. 15.
At 22, Leonard is considered a rising star, especially after an NBA Finals series against
Miami in which he averaged 14.5 points and 11.1 rebounds.
But Leonard dealt with knee pain throughout the season, which was later diagnosed as tendinitis in his right quadriceps. He spent the summer working to rehabilitate the injury and strengthen the muscle around it and is expected to be at full strength for the opening of camp next week.
Still, even a healthy Leonard can't be expected to log 48 minutes a night, which is why during the next few weeks the Spurs are prepared to take a long look at seasoned backups.

What is a scallop? I have never heard of them in Florida.Bay scallops are bivalve molluscs that occur on Florida's west coast, in localized populations from Florida Bay, in Monroe and Dade counties, to St. Andrew Bay near Panama City. They are bottom dwellers living in 4-8 feet of water. They used to be harvested and sold commercially; now, only recreational anglers can take them during harvest season.
Where and how are scallops fished?Bay scallops (Argopecten irradians) can be fished in state waters from the Pasco-Hernando county line to the Mexico Beach Canal in Bay County from July 1 to Sept. 24 each year. The season is opening early in 2014, starting June 28. The bag limit is two gallons of unshucked animals per person per day or one pint of meat per person per day. Recreational harvesters should review current fishing license requirements before collecting bay scallops. To view current state of Florida regulations on harvesting bay scallops, view the article on bay scallop regulations.
Why can't I eat shellfish during a red tide?"Shellfish" is a generic term used to describe a large number of marine animals-not all of which are affected the same way by red tide. Shellfish, like the bivalve molluscs including mussels, clams, and oysters, should not be eaten if they have been removed from waters containing red tide. As filter feeders, these animals remove large amounts of red tide cells from the water and concentrate the toxin-producing algae in their gut. Other shellfish seafood, such as crabs, shrimp, and lobster, can be eaten because they do not filter-feed and will not retain the toxin. Scallops can be eaten if only the scallop's muscle is eaten, as is normally the case. Scallop stew, which uses the whole animal, should not be eaten.

Researchers Assess Youthful Play Behavior in Adult Horses
If you've ever come across a particularly big-eyed, dish-faced horse, maybe you've thought to yourself, "He has such a baby face." We see these physical manifestations of youth in many adult species (think of dogs bred to retain a puppylike appearance), but in horses this retention of juvenile traits in adulthood might also be evident in their behavior.
The phenomenon is called behavioral neotenization, and it's particularly common in domesticated animals, although in the literature it's not clear whether horses exhibit neoteny. So Alexali Brubaker, PhD, of the University of California, Davis, department of psychology, conducted a study to evaluate and quantify youthful play behavior in adult horses. She presented her results at the 9th Annual International Society for Equitation Science, held July 18-20 at the University of Delaware, in Newark.
Horses respond to novel objects and situations with various levels of fear and curiosity. If horses have undergone neotenization, Brubaker explained, "accommodating juvenilelike traits such as curiosity could potentially improve well-being of adults."
To investigate whether horses have retained these juvenile behavioral traits, Brubaker and colleagues assessed the play and curiosity (novelty-seeking) responses of 46 adult horses (25 mares and 21 geldings, primarily Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses ages 3-29) housed in their home outdoor pens when presented with three novel objects: a yoga ball, a plastic saucer, and a hollow cube made of PVC pipe.
First, a researcher unfamiliar to the horses entered each pen and scored each horse's response (its sociability rating) on a five-point scale. The horse scored a 5 if he approached the researcher within two seconds, and he scored a 1 if he never approached or fled the researcher.
Next, the team placed the three novel objects, one at a time, in each horse's pen. They videotaped the horse's response to each object for 10 minutes and measured horses' play behavior based on the equid play ethogram developed by Sue McDonnell, PhD, Cert. AAB, founding head of the Equine Behavior Program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. They also tried to calculate at what point sensory investigation of something new becomes play and estimated that if the horse investigated an object for 13 seconds or more, then he was likely playing.
Based on their observations the team determined that:
These results all "support the hypothesis that domestic horses display behavioral neoteny," Brubaker concluded.
From a practical perspective, she added, "I think it would be worth our effort to consider this possible behavioral neoteny. Aged horses, even a 29-year-old, may still be curious and playful toward new things. We can maybe factor that into our management and training."

Mary Walsh (Brittany Murphy) delivers her boyfriend Kevin (Dean Cain) to a hospital for a routine outpatient surgery. But when Mary returns to take him home, he is nowhere to be found. The hospital administrator (Mimi Rogers) can't find any record of him, and a police search turns up nothing.
Increasingly frantic, Mary is taken to a staff psychiatrist, Dr. Bensley (Peter Bogdanovich) who pronounces her unstable. Now, she must not only find her missing boyfriend, but prove her own sanity. When a stranger informs Mary he knows of Kevin's whereabouts, but demands a $10 million ransom, Mary realizes that to save herself and the man she loves, she must use any means necessary.

Last week, at the Windows Phone Summit in San Francisco, Microsoft officials revealed some key features of the next version of Windows Phone, Windows Phone 8. Among other things, they noted that existing devices will not be able to upgrade to Windows Phone 8, and instead, all devices running Windows Phone 7.5 will get a free upgrade to Windows Phone 7.8.
Not much was revealed about Windows Phone 7.8 besides the fact that it will have the new Start Screen from Windows Phone 8. Of course, Microsoft and Nokia touted the fact that all the existing apps will continue to work on Windows Phone 7.8 and in fact, Nokia talked about updates to their Lumia apps as well as some new apps which will help in "keeping Windows Phone 7.8 fresh".
However, as an early adopter of Windows Phone I feel disappointed that I won't get much of the Windows Phone 8 goodness. I don't feel cheated as such, because a good friend gave me his Lumia 800 and I am quite happy to wait for Windows Phone 8 devices, but I can imagine you feel so if you bought the HTC TITAN II last month at a subsidized price of $199. You are not only locked into a 2-year contract but in 6 months your phone will be far behind most of the devices in the market.
Most of the reasons why existing devices won't be upgraded are well understood – new features need better hardware, some features cannot be supported without new chips (NFC, for example), engineering costs of making stuff work on older devices is way too much compared to the shelf lives of these devices and the total volume of these devices on the market – but it is not the early adopters' fault that Microsoft felt the need to do a reset #2 just two years after their reset #1 from Windows Mobile 6.x to Windows Phone 7.
I understand that consumer-facing features in Windows Phone 8 have not been revealed yet, and Microsoft may have more up their sleeves in terms of additions to Windows Phone 7.8, but if we go by what has been revealed yet, it is highly disappointing. Add the fact that apps built for Windows Phone 8 won't work for Windows Phone 7.8 and you see that either developers will build cool apps which Windows Phone 7.8 users won't be able to run, or apps will be built for Windows Phone 7.8 and Windows Phone 8 hardware will end up being under-utilized. A terrible lose-lose situation.
I sure hope the only features of Windows Phone 8 that don't make it to Windows Phone 7.8 are the ones totally dependent on hardware, like NFC and of course, the new core. Things like IE 10 and Wallet (without the NFC-related features) have absolutely no reason not to be available to Windows Phone 7.8.
One thing is certain – Microsoft has burned me (and many other early adopters, I am sure). I am not going to be an early adopter of Windows Phone 8 devices, despite the assurances given that another re-imagination won't happen anytime soon.
What are your thoughts regarding Windows Phone 7.8? Are you ok with what has been said so far? Do you care about receiving the latest updates?

There are 31 Local Learning and Employment Networks or LLENs in Victoria. The goal of each LLEN is to support young people, 10 – 19 years old, within its geographical boundaries by improving their participation, engagement, attainment and transition outcomes.
To find the LLEN that supports your Local Government area, see: Locate your Local Learning and Employment Network
LLENs are made up a range of groups and organisations including education and training providers, business and industry, community agencies, and parent and family organisations.
LLENs have a particular focus on young people at risk of disengaging, or who have already disengaged, from education and training and are not in meaningful employment.
Each LLEN creates strategic, sustainable partnerships that improve education and transition outcomes for young people, including increasing Year 12 or equivalent attainment rates. LLENs use their knowledge of the region to influence strategic planning and broker partnerships among key stakeholders to support young people to remain engaged, or re-engage, in education or training.
LLENs are incorporated associations run by Boards or Committee of Managements, which each LLEN elects.
From 1 January 2010 the School Business Community Partnership Brokers program in Victoria is delivered through the LLEN, jointly funded by the Australian and Victorian Governments under the National Partnership on Youth Attainment and Transitions, a joint initiative of the Australian and State and Territory Governments.
The core role of LLENs is the creation and development of sustainable relationships, partnerships and brokerage of initiatives with and across local education providers, industry and community.
By joining a LLEN you can make a difference to your community and individuals by contributing to strategies that improve education and training outcomes for young people. Any organisation or individual with an interest in education, training and employment outcomes for young people can be involved in the LLEN in their area.
For employers, joining a LLEN can help you to:
For education and training providers, joining a LLEN can help you better target education and training programs to meet community needs including skill shortages.
For agencies, joining a LLEN can help you to more effectively deliver your programs by working with employers and industry, and education and training providers, on program delivery and policy development.For individuals, joining a LLEN can allow you to contribute to local education and training pathway and participation arrangements for young people.
Contact your local LLEN to find out how you can join.
If you are currently part of a LLEN log on to the secure memorandum site to access operational information, see: Local Learning and Employment Network
In 2012 the Department commissioned a review of the Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) model of network and partnership support.
The objectives of the Review were to:
The review included evidence gathering and analysis focusing on two elements:
For more information, see: Review of the Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) Model of Network and Partnership Support (pdf - 182.89kb)
Over time, there have been significant policy changes that have impacted on accountability for and services to support young people in Victoria.
In October, the Department engaged Nous Group to conduct work to consider a potential new approach to school-industry engagement.
By December 2014 Nous Group had consulted with a large number of key stakeholders across Victoria to identify and understand the opportunities to improve support for school-aged young people seeking to transition to further education or employment.
Two reports of the consultations with schools, Local Learning and Employment Networks and Workplace Learning Coordinators have been prepared and are available below.
The Department is considering the findings from the consultation and the Nous Group will commence work on developing options to inform future approaches to school-industry engagement.

Bertha, the hulking, 7,000-ton earth-drilling machine that's expected to start boring a tunnel to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct any day now, is getting loads of attention lately. (During a recent editorial meeting, we all had a good debate on whether or not we'll be able to feel the digging from our SoDo offices. I say yes. We'll keep you posted on that front.)
Tonight, the Seattle Channel will premiere a special on Seattle's mechanical, tunnel-making ladyfriend called Digging Toward the Future: The Story of the Alaskan Way Tunnel. The special, hosted by Brian Callanan, will take an in-depth look at the project and its impacts on business, tourism, transportation and the city's waterfront:
Go behind the scenes with Bertha. Get tips on how to navigate traffic impacts and learn how you can weigh in on the waterfront redesign. Plus, learn more about the tunnel and waterfront work on our show web page www.seattlechannel.org/tunnel, which includes links, video and resources you need to stay up-to-date on the project, including road-closure information.
So grab your popcorn, put on your Bertha-themed pjs (I predict they're coming soon to a novelty store near you), and turn to channel 21 at 8:30 p.m.

Official "Immortals" trailer
April 26th 2011 • by Jess • No Comments • Immortals, Videos
We now have the OFFICIAL trailer for Immortals, and Isabel as Athena is included! The film looks stunning … I'm not sure how we're going to manage to wait until November to see it!
Screencaps of Isabel's very brief appearance have been added to our Gallery.
(Big thanks to my friends Lu and Jess for their help/heads-up on this vid.)
EDITED the next day: Seems the original video doesn't work anymore. I've replaced it below with a HD version from YouTube. I've also replace our screencaps with better quality versions later today.

Woo, woo, woo! TMZ has footage of Charlize Theron making out with Keanu Reeves on the street after a delicious dinner together! Is it possible that the former co-stars of 1997's Devil's Advocate and 2001's Sweet November are enjoying a belated romance? Has he been politely waiting for relationships with Stephan Jenkins and Stuart Townsend to end so he could swoop down and declare his eternal devotion? Was his shirt off when he did it? "More evidence—when they hugged each other goodbye, Charlize's hands are clearly UNDER KEANU'S JACKET!" OMG! That's totally the universal sign of a sexual relationship! What an update!
Granted, these two have acted intimately for years at social events and they clearly were aware of the cameras during their clinch. If they were secretly banging, they probably wouldn't be hugging at all. But if Charlize and Keanu want to come forward with some grand Hepburn and Tracy story involving years of simmering chemistry, far be it from us to advise them otherwise. See photos of Charli-anu in the gallery below.

Product description
Social Complexity in Prehistoric Eurasia challenges current interpretations of the emergence, development, and decline of social complexity in the steppe region of China and the former Soviet Union. Through a thematic investigation of archaeological patterns ranging from monument construction and use and production and consumption of metals to the nature of mobility among societies, the essays in this volume provide the most up-to-date thinking on social and cultural change in prehistoric Eurasia. Collectively, they challenge broader theoretical trends in Anglo-American archaeology, which have traditionally favored comparative studies of sedentary agricultural societies over mobile pastoralist or agro-pastoralist communities. By highlighting the potential and limitations of comparative studies of social complexity, this volume sets the agenda for future studies of this region of the world. It emphasizes how the unique nature of early steppe societies can contribute to more comprehensive interpretations of social trajectories in world prehistory.

An editor's letter for your October-y troubles? Sure thing good-looking!
Come on then October – let's be having you. That's right we're not messing about now the chilly depths of autumn are rushing towards us faster than an angry cat rushes towards a delicious fish supper.
And rather than using October as an excuse to wind down for the year, au contraire we're stepping things right up. First of all our podcast is back in a new format starting THIS WEEK. We've tweaked the way we do things and brought in some fresh INT talent to help deliver something we hope really fits with our creativity-championing mantra.
Also this week we are introducing our opinion pieces, where we take a weekly look at an issue surrounding the creative industries. These articles will be opened for comments for a week so you can chime in and agree, disagree or indeed agree to disagree depending on your mood. We're really excited about this new direction for the site and hope you'll join us for the ride!
As subscribers now know the next magazine will be appearing in March next year to give us the chance to maximise the potential of the publication you know and love. We've got some big plans for its triumphant return and we'll keep you up-to-date with the progress as it starts to take shape. This hiatus is why our shop is currently unavailable but again it'll be back, so we'll keep you posted.
A massive thanks to everyone who came along to our Here event at The Royal Geographical Society a couple of weeks ago (you can read a review here) and to the speakers who did such a tremendous job sharing their insightful and inspirational tips. We were completely thrilled with the day and the lovely feedback we've received since.
Our next event takes place in December and we'll be releasing LOTS more details shortly so keep your eyes peeled.
And that's that. It's an honour as ever to have you on board.

There's a battle going on right here—between big-name contenders from broccoli to turnips. The goal: to determine which vegetable is No. 1 in nutrition, and which should take first place when you're eating your food. Of course, all veggies are winners when it comes to warding off excess weight and preventing disease; but with all the peeling and chopping you have to do to get them to the table, they're not the easiest foods around (no wonder most women fail to score five servings a day). So it's important to pick the right stuff and eat vegetables that pack the most vitamins and minerals. That's what this tourney is all about. After the champions emerge, head to the WH Recipe Pages for the fastest, best-tasting ways to serve them up. To see some of this paparazzi-worthy produce in action, check out WH's "Best Fitness Foods for Women."
Veggie Vs. Veggie The Game is on!
To form our four starting divisions, we sorted vegetables by color (red, green, yellow/orange, and white). Then we chose the top 16 based on their levels of vitamin C, the water-soluble antioxidant whose list of health benefits is longer than Shaq's inseam. (To name just a few: C boosts immunity, protects skin from sun damage, aids in healing wounds, and helps the body absorb iron.) Next, we pitted veggies against each other within their divisions to find out which ranked highest in the four nutrients women need most. For the all essential vitamins women need, see WH's "The Best Vitamins for Women."
Round One Folate
Red division
Red Bell Pepper vs. Red Cabbage - 42 mcg vs. 13 mcg
Tomato vs. Turnip - 27 mcg vs. 20 mcg
Green Division
Brussels Sprouts vs. Green Bell Pepper - 54 mcg vs. 16 mcg
Broccoli vs. Kale - 55 mcg vs. 19 mcg
Yellow/orange division
Butternut Squash vs. Yellow Bell Pepper - 38 mcg vs. 24 mcg
Acorn Squash vs. Yellow Beans - 24 mcg vs. 41 mcg
White Division
Cauliflower vs. Jicama - 57 mcg vs. 16 mcg
Potato vs. Rutabaga - 24 mcg vs. 29 mcg
You've heard of folic acid thanks to its success in making healthy babies. In 1998 the U.S. government mandated that folic acid be added to grains, and by 2003 birth defects had dropped by a third. But the perks of getting the RDA (400 micrograms) of this mighty B vitamin don't stop there. Folate lowers CRP and homocysteine, two blood compounds that trigger artery inflammation, says Kathy McManus, R.D., director of the department of nutrition at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Studies find that a higher CRP rate raises sudden heart attack risk, and other data link high homocysteine levels with stroke and vascular disease. Another large-scale study found that women who got the most folate had the lowest incidence of breast cancer.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) - Browns coach Mike Pettine says he's not worried about rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel's off-field behavior carrying into the football season.
Manziel has made headlines with his partying during the offseason, and a recent photo and video of him brought more scrutiny. While he was on vacation recently, Pettine called Manziel and they had a "positive conversation."
Pettine believes Manziel understands he needs to concentrate on football, and "he's going to have to probably be more dedicated than he has ever been."
Manziel begins training camp behind Brian Hoyer on Cleveland's depth chart. The Browns selected Manziel, one of college football's most popular players, in the first round of the NFL draft. Pettine, though, said the team will not be influenced by "external pressure" to name its starting quarterback.

Zach Lavery struck out 10 batters over six innings and gave up just three hits in his first start of the season, leading Post 166 to a 10-7 road win over Moncks Corner on Friday, June 21.
Both runs he gave up were unearned. He had previously thrown four innings in an exhibition game vs. Cary, N.C. this season.
In 2012, Lavery was 6-0 with two saves and a 1.70 ERA and just recently rejoined the team.
It was the fifth straight league victory for Goose Creek.
Sean Freeland and Chris Zurcher collected three hits apiece to lead the offensive onslaught, while Lavery and Christian Sillanpaa had two each. Post 166 pounded out 14 hits in the game.
Post 166 led 6-0 in the third inning and improved to 11-5 overall and 8-3 in league play. The record includes two forfeits from the James Island/West Ashley team, which has disbanded.
Moncks Corner took advantage of two infield errors and a walk to score a pair of unearned runs in the bottom of the third inning.
But Post 166 strung together four hits in the top of the fourth inning, plating four more runs for all the runs it needed.
Goose Creek 3, Beaufort 2
Cody Smith scattered three hits over five innings and fanned eight batters as Goose Creek Post 166 picked up a 3-2 road victory over Beaufort on Thursday, June 20.
Reliever Chris Zurcher threw the final four scoreless innings, giving up just one hit and striking out seven batters, to earn the save.
Austin Timm was 2 for 4 with an RBI while Chris Singleton drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.
Timm scored on an error in the first inning to give Post 166 a 1-0 lead and Singleton's sac fly in the second made it 2-0.
Beaufort trimmed its deficit in half in the third inning but Timm's RBI single answered to make it 3-1.
Beaufort's lone other run came in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Zurcher navigated through some threatening situations in his time on the mound. He stranded the bases loaded in the sixth and Beaufort had runners on the corners in both the eighth and ninth innings.

Club News
The Lee County Retired School Personnel met at the pool house of Reinette Seaman on May 8. The program was presented by Linda Smith, a member of Lee County Board of Education. She explained that among new programs in Lee County, the concepts of theme, choice or magnet schools are being studied. Laptop refresher programs are offered. She explained that there are 19 new courses at the high schools.
The budget was approved as prepared by treasurer John Bolton. He announced that two seniors have been chosen to receive a scholarship of $700 each. Sarah Lianna Bradford, a senior at Lee County High School, and Christina Marie Cottell of Lee Early College. Each recipient plans to become a teacher. The money for these scholarships comes from the sales of Our State magazine. The goal of the club is to sell 200 subscriptions. Any club member can be contacted for information.
The 2014 scholarship committee will consist of John Bolton, Reinette Seaman and Patricia Pemberton.
A meal catered by the culinary department of Lee County High was enjoyed after the blessing by Ann Womble.
President Eugenia Thompson presided over the awards section of the program. She presented perfect attendance awards to Ruth Gurtis, John Bolton and Julianne McCracken. Officers who were recognized and awarded were Mildred Smith, Carol Cox and John Bolton; and committee chairs John Bolton, Sylvia Churchwell, Ruth Spears, Betty Lou Burns, Reinette Seaman, Vivian Shaver, Ruth Gurtis, Ann Alford, Julianne McCracken and Chevelle Branch.
The Apple Award was given to Eugenia Thompson, who was also recognized for a May birthday.
Virginia Brown's door prizes were won by Ann Womble and Chevelle Branch.
The Sept. 18 meeting location will be announced.
President Ed Mishler opened the meeting May 13 meeting of the San-Lee Sunrise Rotary with the Quote of the Week: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father." - Greg Norman.
Andy Manhardt led the Rotary invocation, and Sheriff Tracy Carter led the Pledge of Allegiance. Nicolle Phair and Ed Mishler were given a make-up and Andy Manhardt was given two make-ups.
In Good News, Ginny and Andy Manhardt had rave reviews for the Temple Theatre production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." They were especially congratulatory of Rotarian Dan Murphy, director and choreographer for the play. Martin Davis had good words for the Temple Theatre presentation of "Comedy Zone," which takes place each Tuesday at the theatre. Terry Mullen's daughter Julia is visiting from Santa Fe, N.M.
In Club News, there will be no San-Lee Sunrise meeting on May 27, Memorial Day. President Mishler and President-Elect Andy Manhardt will attend new District Governor Cookie Billing's installation ceremony on June 17 at Starmount Forest Country Club in Greensboro. San-Lee Sunrise Charter Night will be held June 20 at the home of Ed and Janet Mishler at Carolina Trace. The president and president-elect recently attended District 7690 District Assembly.
President Mishler introduced fellow Rotarian Sheriff Tracy Carter, who introduced Detective Sergeant Matt Rosser, Crime Scene Investigator and Detective Sergeant Clint Babb, Criminal Detective for the Lee County Sheriff's Department. The Detective Sergeants presented a program describing the improvement in criminal interdiction in the past two years in Lee County. The Lee County Sheriff's Department has been part of the Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grants Program for two years. The grants are awarded to law enforcement units to help improve the quality and timeliness of forensic science. Funds may be used to eliminate backlog in the analysis of forensic evidence and to train and employ forensic laboratory personnel. The grants have allowed the sheriff's department to access the FBI Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS). Crime scene investigations have increased by 20 percent from 2011 to 2012, and the number of items of evidence inventoried increased by 18 percent.
The number of criminal cases that involved latent fingerprint analysis increased from 89 to 127 in the 2011-2012 time period, and the number of identifications due to latent fingerprint analysis increased from 33 to 139. The Lee County Sheriff's Department has a very good solved case rate.
President Mishler closed the meeting with the Four-Way Test and the thought, "A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well."
President Alan Dossenbach opened the May 7 meeting of The Sanford Rotary and called on Delores Jenkins to lead the Rotary Prayer. Tom Spence directed the group singing of "Loch Lomond."
Visiting Rotarian Howard Bokhoven from the Jonesboro club was recognized. Chaz Post was the guest of Doug Gay. Make-ups included Tony Lett and Alan Dossenbach at Jonesboro Rotary on May 2.
Tom Dossenbach won the 50/50 raffle ($14).
Under "Bragging," Lynn Sadler announced that she has been named the Gilbert Chapel Distinguished Poet, and will hold the position for some years to come. Sam Sillaman bragged on his daughter, Samantha, for completing her freshman year at UNCG and he also bragged on Paul Horton for his exemplary work with Character Plus Mentoring program at Tramway Elementary. David Nestor bragged on the success of the Sanford Arts & Vine Festival. Sterling Stewart and Christine Holt were also bragged upon for their graduation, and similarly Doug Gay bragged on his son for his graduation and having secured a job.
Tom Spence introduced the speaker, Mark Hackett, interim director of HAVEN (Helping Abuse & Violence End Now) in Lee County. Hackett spoke very highly of HAVEN's Court Advocate, Rosa. He applauded all the hard work the staff does, such as accompanying assault victims to the hospital. Other services offered to victims of sexual assault and other types of abuse include a place to stay for a period of 90 days at HAVEN's live-in facility, relocation services, resume writing classes, dress for success programs, and even tutoring for children who are kept home from school for safety reasons. He also noted that the HAVEN Thrift Shop opens its doors and allows victims to choose clothes and other items from the store free of charge. All proceeds from sales directly support victims.
Hackett mentioned the man-to-man V.I.P. (Violence Intervention Program) support group, where men share the challenges of controlling their behavior and where confidentiality is always key. He also noted that two staff members are fully bilingual, and that there is a 24-hour crisis line where one can receive support for issues such as abusive relationships and sexual assault. The number for the crisis line is (919) 774-8923. HAVEN can also be found on Facebook.
Hackett noted that funding sources for HAVEN included the Government Crime Commission, proceeds from the associated thrift shop and contributions from caring individuals (he reminded those in attendance that HAVEN is always accepting donations). In a final encouragement, he urged all victims of abuse and sexual assault to seek help, and he noted that these problems cross all ethnic, demographic, economic and cultural lines.
President Dossenbach thanked Hackett for his program about HAVEN, and told him that a dual-language children's book will be donated in his name to the Lee County Library.
To adjourn the meeting, the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Dan Harrington and the Four-Way Test was led by Mitch Reese.
Members of the Sanford Lions Club got to travel to exotic Istanbul, Turkey and the wilds of Africa last Thursday, May 9, living vicariously through a program presented by Mike and Joan Womble and their son, David. They, along with friends Jeff and Helen Ward, spent two weeks recently on the adventure.
Womble, a member of the club, narrated an informative slide program depicting many historical and cultural sights and capturing the native peoples of both Turkey and Kenya in Africa. David Womble is an humanitarian aid worker headquartered in Kenya working with the British Embassy in Nairobi. He hosted the travelers during their stay there, which included a three-day safari in the Masai Mara Reserve.
As with many of the sights they visited, seeing the African wildlife was absolutely amazing, Womble said, stressing that words and pictures can't convey the feelings one gets viewing such scenes in person. David Womble fielded a number of questions regarding life in Kenya and his humanitarian work across the border in Somalia. He noted the ever present dangers of warring factions, including Islamic radicals, that means traveling with armed guards whenever in Somalia. Life in Kenya is more secure and he owns a home there.
Lion Bob Hughes introduced the program and opened with prayer while President-elect Richard Holshouser presided over the meeting. Several club project reports were given with Lion Jim Romine saying that the eighth annual Lions Golf Tournament is all set for play on Saturday, June 1, at Quail Ridge Golf Course. He thanked club members for their hard work in obtaining hole sponsors and teams of golfers and discussed the varied jobs that Lions will perform on tournament day.
Along the golfing theme, as the night's Tail Twister, Romine organized a game of tossing golf balls into numbered cups with the top two point getters meeting in a playoff. They were Phil Gurkin and Richard Holshouser, but in the clinch neither was able to score and guest Joan Womble was invited to take a shot in which she was successful. Participants paid a dollar to play with half the pot going to the winner, but Mrs. Womble graciously donated her winnings to the club.
Jonesboro Rotary met at The Flame on May 9, with President Michele Bullard presiding at an impromptu club assembly.
Yvonne Bullard announced that it was time for Rotarian of the Year voting.
John Ramsperger announced that The Sanford Herald reported that San-Lee Park ranks 29th out of the nation's 100 best places to camp.
Howard Bokhoven gave the stock report, predicting that a cooling off period was needed in the red-hot stock market.
Yvonne Bullard presented a pop quiz on Rotary history, classification information and other trivia.
David Spivey won the raffle and led the Four-Way Test and Pledge.
The May 2 meeting of the Jonesboro Rotary Club was called to order by President Michele Bullard. Rupert Ainsley gave the invocation, and Sergeant-At-Arms Jay Childress introduced guest Jennifer St. Clair and visiting Rotarians Tommy Rosser (Sanford) and Dan Murphy (Oregon).
Announcements included Robert Gilleland's about the Tuesday Night Music Club's gig at The Flame later that evening. Larry Aiken talked about the recent fifth grade reading program about Civil War knowledge, and that most kids related character traits that they had learned (with the help of volunteer Rotarians through the Character Plus program) to actions in their study book about Lincoln's assassination.
Brags included Tim Martin's on his artwork being displayed at the Temple Theatre during the current run of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Michele Bullard's double brag on her husband Scott who helped her with the Rotary Yard Sale and also was at Transportation Days at the airport. Howard Bokhoven gave a stock report.
Larry Aiken inducted new member Ron Hewett. The day's program was brought by the club's own Bob Joyce, who had samples of the new issue of Lee County Living magazine, published yearly to promote the county by the Chamber of Commerce and The Sanford Herald. He also talked extensively about the Sanford Arts and Vine Festival, with 4,000 visitors expected.
Chad Spivey supervised the raffle, and announced the upcoming 150th anniversary of the Battle of Chancellorsville. Bob Joyce won the raffle, and with it the responsibility to lead the Four-Way Test and Pledge of Allegiance. Yvonne Bullard announced the May birthdays: Robert Gilleland on the 7th, Hal Evans on the 17th and Howard Bokhoven on the 23rd.

After years of creative musical comedy with his Saturday Night Live "digital shorts," it may seem surprising that Andy Samberg's new star turn is in that most traditional of TV formats: the sitcom.
At SNL, Samberg pushed the decades-old show past its cue-card sketch comfort zone and into the emerging world of "viral videos" with his Lonely Island films that became Internet hits. The actor himself wasn't sure that taking a lead role on Fox's Brooklyn Nine-Nine last year was the right move.
"It was a slight concern," he admits. "A lot of what people think of as my tone of comedy is The Lonely Island. ... Brooklyn Nine-Nine is not going to break into song at any given moment."
Samberg made the sitcom move largely because of the talent at the top — showrunners Michael Schur and Dan Goor, who had worked on NBC's cult hit Parks and Recreation. "I knew doing a show with them would be a classy decision," he says. "We weren't sure it would be successful, but we knew that creatively it would be something we could feel proud of. I did not imagine it would go as well as it even did in our first season."
After premiering last September to decent ratings and critical buzz, Brooklyn Nine-Nine got a big boost in January, when it picked up two Golden Globe wins: for Best Comedy Series and Best Lead Comedy Actor (Samberg). "There's nothing better than winning something when you don't think there's a chance in hell you're going to win it," Samberg says. "We were like, 'All right, this is great. We're going to probably make a second season of the show now.' Everyone had a little pep in their step afterward."
Not only is Fox giving the show a second season, the network moved it to a Sunday night slot at 8:30 ET/PT, between The Simpsons and Family Guy. (New episodes start Sept. 28.)
As one of the show's producers, Samberg has more creative control than the average sitcom actor. Though he plans to leave directing in more experienced hands, he wouldn't mind trying his hand at writing an episode at some point.
"I think I wouldn't have been able to handle it if I were an actor for hire," he says. "If that was my day-to-day, I think I would get a little antsy. It's a really good setup for me."
Samberg also has the benefit of following in the footsteps of his former SNL co-star Amy Poehler, who has received four Emmy nominations for playing Leslie Knope on Parks.
"Here's somebody who is one of my heroes, who I look up to and respect, and she's doing television on a network, and it doesn't feel like she's compromising," he says.
Part of what so intrigues Samberg and TV critics is that this is no ordinary cop show. Instead of graphic violence and a downbeat tone, the show features colorful characters, wacky slapstick, fizzy wordplay and a spirit of tomfoolery, even as the characters deal with serious police business. Samberg says real police officers have complimented this unconventional approach.
"It's nice for them to see part of that life represented," he says. "It's satisfying to be portrayed not as always grim and dire. Obviously, it's a very serious job, and it's very dangerous, but it doesn't make sense not to be humorous."
Much of the comedy comes from the relationship between Samberg's Detective Jake Peralta and Emmy-nominated Andre Braugher's uptight Capt. Ray Holt.
