Tropical Storm Sandy
Posted 16 November 2012 - 05:02 PM
Jason was able to go over with his dad for the first time yesterday. the island is still under lock and key but residents are allowed to cross over in the morning as long as they vacate by 3pm, the last couple of days. though the insurance adjuster and contractor haven't been onsite yet, we're pretty sure the house will be condemned when all is said and done. the old sewer line that runs below the house cracked and filled their home with raw sewage, and the foundation is cracked.
Jason punctured his hand while removing slippery, nasty carpeting and had to go for a tetanus shot. later, he dropped a freezer on the same hand and nearly broke it. in the same accident he blew out his knee. some healing vibes and love sent his way would be helpful today.
his folks are taking everything as it comes but it is beginning to wear on them and we're concerned about their long-term mental and physical health. the one thing they have going for them is they have an incredibly strong bond with each other, and are so supportive and loving. it's inspirational and explains so much about Jason.
i hope this next phase (dealing with insurance adjusters, contractors, etc) goes swiftly so they can focus on rebuilding and moving forward. this part is hard on everyone. sifting through what remains of their home of the last 40+ years, the home that was built for them by an uncle as a wedding gift...facing the possible tear down of that home and wondering whether they can ever live comfortably in a new home with all these new memories...
part of me wonders if they wouldn't be happier walking away from it all and starting over in a new town. but i don't think his mom could do it. she grew up there, watched her family build the town, owned an Italian restaurant there, made her family there, put down roots there.
Uncle Frank's business is gone and he's considering his options. one thing is for sure, there will be no need for his old store or anything like it for a very long time. he's considering converting the store into a restaurant to serve all the contractors who will be working in Ortley for months and years to come. he's not ready to retire and his old business isn't viable without residents and beach-goers to support it.
i just don't know. but whatever happens...life goes on. still very thankful that they were not there when all this happened.

Thanks elder.
The thing that's hard is like... I am not starving or have no place to stay... so I'm hesitant to really hound FEMA for help. There are undoubtedly people who need help more than me. Nevertheless, I've paid taxes every year since I was 16, and 3 weeks of 'mobile' living in order to get to work here every day costs a lot of extra money. Still no timeframe on when our bldg will be liveable or if they will let us out of our leases.... so ya feel stuck.
The reality is that the only thing FEMA can really offer people is money. They have said many times that there is no room to setup temporary shelters down here, there are no hotel vacancies within 100 miles and the apartment vacancy rate is under 3% in a lot of the affected areas. You're stuck until you can go back home.
Anyways I'm just venting. Life is good.
hope you get it figured out soon BHB.

Men's trench coat style guide
Trench coats have been a wardrobe staple for both men and women for decades now. One of my favorite's trench coats for men would be the classic Burberry trench coat. There's something about those checks, which makes it so wearable and so suave. You can sport it to work and any other formal occasion too. With that coat, you really don't need anything else.
But men who like keeping more than one trench in their closet should know about the different trench coat styles available today and which style works for each occasion.
Hooded trench
The men's hooded trench coat is something more casual and good for the rainy season. And though you cannot wear it for formal purposes, it is a savior when you have to rush to work on a rainy or windy day and forget your umbrella.
Short trench
The short trench was seen mostly during the World War II and was created to go with the uniform. It has a typically shorter jacket to suit the needs of the soldiers, while keeping them warm. It is still largely used in the military though it is now being seen on the fashion runway too.
Tailored trench
The tailored trench coat s has been designed to suit a wide variety of pants. These are mostly for formal occasions and are not much used these days.
The double breasted trench
This is another classic trench coat style that can also be tailored and works well over a casual or dressy outfit. It is one of the patterns that will never really go out of fashion and if you are considering a designer investment, this one will surely spruce up your wardrobe for years.
As a rule of thumb, you should experiment with colors. Though neutral tones and blacks are more standard, these days men are not shying away from bolder choices.

"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: Movies, Entertainment News
A man stands alone on the stage of a high school auditorium. He wears full motorcycle leathers and a vivacious blond wig. In a wispy, girlish falsetto, he edges through the lyrics to Olivia Newton-John's "Please Don't Keep Me Waiting."
Please don't keep me waiting
I can't hold on much longer
Please don't keep me waiting
I can't love you any stronger
The man's face is a mask of quiet resignation, guarding secrets. His eyes blaze with something resembling glory, then slowly well up with a mounting panic. He looks like he's about to cry.
The scene repeats three times in "The Beaver Trilogy" — one of the oddest films to premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival. The first singing man, videotaped in 1979, is an unknown performer identified only as Groovin' Gary. Later, Gary is played by Sean Penn in 1981, moments before "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," and then, finally in 1984, by Crispin Glover, before he starred in "Back to the Future."
Together, the portraits in "The Beaver Trilogy" don't tell a traditional story as much as they complete a character study of its star, "Groovin' Gary," aka the Beaver Kid. Spanning history and farce, inhabiting the gray zone where the ridiculous becomes the sublime, director Trent Harris' accidental feature is a delicate hybrid of fiction, cinéma vérité and medical X-ray. The only thing stranger than the film itself is the story of how it got made, and why, 20 years later, a broad audience might actually get to see it.
In 1979, 25-year-old Trent Harris, an assistant cameraman at a Salt Lake City TV station, first encountered the relatively new technology of video. Picking up the station's brand-new video camera for the first time, he wandered out into the parking lot to figure out how it worked. Zooming in on a random figure at the far end of the lot, he adjusted focus as the figure — drawn to him by the presence of the camera — approached and struck up a conversation.
The man was Groovin' Gary (his real name has never been released), a recent high school graduate and would-be entertainer. That morning, he'd driven to Salt Lake City from Beaver, Utah, in his '67 Chevy Impala with the hope of interesting the local TV station in a talent show he had organized. His intentions were a little transparent because the show was principally a showcase for his Olivia Newton-John drag act. In the parking lot, Gary offered a sneak preview: He sang, danced, joked, did impersonations — anything he could think of to hold the camera.
Charmed by his moxie, if not exactly his talent, Harris drove to Beaver several weeks later to film the show. First he met Gary at the local mortuary, where he taped the staff cosmetician applying the transforming makeup necessary for Gary's act. Gary, while carefully brushing out his blond wig or receiving applications of lipstick and mascara, repeatedly explained that he just does the act "for a kick."
"I still enjoy being a man," says the Matthew McConaughey lookalike, doth protesting too much. "I'm a man, not a girl."
He swaggers off backstage like a linebacker in showgirl leathers.
Gary's rendition of Newton-John's "Please Don't Keep Me Waiting" — sung in a reedy falsetto with an "evening, Guv'nor" fake Cockney accent — is excruciatingly bad. In front of a largely silent and somewhat mystified audience, the weight of this realization commingles with performance anxiety and possibly some deeper strain of sexual ambiguity or humiliation. He finishes practically in tears.
Gary called Harris a few days later and haltingly requested that the tape not be aired — as if it was actually a possibility. Some time after that, either out of a sense of impending shame or for reasons more complicated, Gary tried unsuccessfully to shoot himself.
Harris quit the station, packed up his old car and moved to L.A. He enrolled in the American Film Institute with the express purpose of making a short film. He wrote a script and looked for actors to cast as Gary.
The immediate result, shot on video in 1981, was a 30-minute improv exercise called "The Beaver Kid." The short film starred a painfully young Sean Penn in the role of Gary. Penn would shortly play Jeff Spicoli in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," and seemingly incorporate wholesale Gary's signature halting laugh.
"We had all kinds of people read for the part," recalls Harris today, well into his 40s and gracefully turning gray. "Nick Cage, Eric Stoltz, Anthony Edwards. The day that [Penn] came, he hadn't had time to really read the script or anything, so he said, 'Well, I'll just be that character.' We wandered around the city, and he played my cousin from Beaver, Utah. I introduced him to my friends and whatnot, and he just played that character. It was funny because a year later, when he became a big shot, some of my friends came up to me and said, 'Hey, your cousin is really doing well for himself.'"
On the strength of that half-hour videotape, Harris was then able to mount a 30-minute 16mm film in 1984 called "The Orkly Kid," named for his own hometown of Orkly, Idaho. When Sean Penn begged off, citing "girlfriend problems," Harris cast a still relatively unknown Crispin Glover. For the third time now, Harris re-created the original encounter in the parking lot, the rendezvous in the funeral home and the onstage performance, with a brief coda dramatizing Gary's subsequent letters and suicide attempt. (Gary's shy demeanor, nervous laughter and wide-eyed wonder found its way into Glover's Marty McFly character in "Back to the Future," filmed later that year.)
Harris spent the next eight years in Hollywood, where he sold several scripts and managed to direct one feature film in 1992, the cult movie "Rubin and Ed," starring Crispin Glover and Howard Hesseman, a buddy film about a trek into the desert to bury a pet cat. The movie bombed and Harris fled to Salt Lake City.
Back in Utah, he managed to make one more feature, "Plan 10 From Outer Space." Despite the title, the movie is not an Ed Wood sendup, but rather an intermittently comic thriller predicated on Mormon theology. For no easily discernible reason, the movie features a 10-minute interlude with cult actress Karen Black as the angel Nihor, singing a Mormon ode to the planet Kolab in a faux-Wagnerian Yoko Ono falsetto.
Two years ago, Harris dug out all three "Beaver" films to play in sequence for some friends. Individually, the films show the evolution of a creative idea over the better part of a decade. But together as a trilogy, Harris realized, the films reveal different facets of the same person: Gary himself is self-effacing and sweetly driven; the Sean Penn version is a walking contradiction with a pronounced undercurrent of sexual hostility; and the Crispin Glover take is imbued with his own curdled narcissism and damaged mania.
Until that first showing of all three films, they seemed like curiosities to Harris. Now, suddenly — completely by accident — they looked like something else: a feature film.
After that, the "Trilogy" took on a new life. It ended up in a San Francisco gallery exhibition titled "Outlaws and Obsessions," and from there played in the video adjunct of the New York Film Festival. Next, it went on to the European festival circuit. The "Trilogy" is now being repped by Strand Releasing, which is talking with several prospective distributors, although music rights remain a problem.
In the final credits of "The Beaver Trilogy," there is a special thanks to Melvin Dummar, whose band Melvin and the Dreamers did fundraising for the project. Dummar, some will remember, was the Utah service station owner who came into possession of what he claimed was billionaire Howard Hughes' posthumous will. According to the document, Hughes was leaving millions to Dummar, who had given him a ride once in the desert outside Las Vegas. Dummar's claim was eventually discredited, and the courts disallowed his windfall. Years later again, in the movie "Melvin and Howard," speculatively based on his story, Dummar himself appeared on-screen as a short-order cook at a bus station. For better or worse, the scene represented his 15 minutes of fame.
Groovin' Gary surprised everyone when he showed up looking for his own 15 minutes at the first Sundance screening of "The Beaver Trilogy."
"That was extraordinary," Harris says. "I'd tried to contact him and hadn't had any luck. And finally we'd gotten a message through — this is like a day before the screening — that it was going to be at Sundance, that he didn't have to come, that we would gladly send him a tape, whatever he wanted.
"I hadn't seen him in 20 years. He never knew about the Sean Penn thing, about the Crispin Glover thing. I didn't know whether he was going to show up at the screening or not, so I stood outside waiting for him. But what he'd done is got there early, come in on his own and hid up in the balcony and watched the thing.
After the screening, and after a Q&A session, several people in the audience rushed the stage to talk with Harris — including Gary. "You probably don't remember me …" Harris remembers him saying.
"I just looked at him, and I gave him this big hug," says Harris. "We both started hyperventilating so much we couldn't talk.
"I said, 'C'mon, let's duck out this side door.'" The two went outside, followed by a small group that asked Gary for pictures and autographs.
"I was really concerned about springing this on him in front of 1,400 people," says Harris. "But in fact I think it turned out to be the best possible thing. Because people just loved him. I think now, looking back, that was much better than just sending him a tape and letting him look at it."
It doesn't seem lost on Harris that, just like with Groovin' Gary, "The Beaver Trilogy" story represents the predominant creative thread in his life. Most recently, he's been filming a series of self-financed half-hour documentaries, titled "The Wild Goose Chronicles," about subjects such as a former Khmer Rouge soldier in Cambodia who removes land mines and ritual horseback fights in West Zumba that happen the same time that giant multi-headed sea worms wash up on the beach.
Still, snaking between and through his other endeavors, "The Beaver Trilogy" remains Harris's most consistent body of work, as well as a preoccupation that he's returned to for over two decades. Out of a chance encounter in a parking lot sometime late in the Carter administration, somehow miraculously captured live on tape, their lives have remained invisibly intertwined until finally, in an act of dramatic closure worthy of classical drama, their reunion brought both closer to what each, in his own way, wanted all along: a little piece of immortality.
"He looked the same. Still drives that same car, a '67 Chevy Impala with red fur on the dashboard. He's a truck driver, he's got a family, doing well. He was horrified and flabbergasted and proud and embarrassed all at once. He said, 'I'm real supportive of this,' and 'I'm so happy for you,' and 'I'm so glad all of this is happening,' and 'Boy, isn't this a surprise?' and 'I had no idea.'"
Since then, Harris has asked Gary to do some publicity for the film. Gary wants to think about it. "I don't think he especially wants to promote this down around the neighborhood he lives in, because they ain't gonna get it," says Harris. "They'll just make life miserable for him … I don't know how he feels exactly."
That last one's easy. He feels like a star.

Quick and easy and most importanly - DELICIOUS! I added some Old Bay which everyone seemed to like. Great recipe!
Delicious but the sodium level is too high. You need to substitute some low sodium ingredients to get it down. Served it over a quinoa/rice blend and it got good reviews.
I love this recipe. I have made it twice and it has been a big hit. I did make some modifications to the recipe though. I substitute the chicken thighs with chicken breasts and let them cook at the bottom of the crockpot whole. Then after the soup is done cooking, I take it out and shred it and put I back in the pot for an hour. Instead of using crushed tomatoes, I subsitute a can of Rotel and put it in with all the juices. Instead of the 4 cups of broth, I just use two cans. I also put in 1 tsp of Tony's cajun seasoning instead of using just half. I do not use the onions or peppers because our family does not like them, but I am sure they would be good too.

American Idol
Winning? Charlie Sheen Wants to Judge American Idol, if They Meet His Demands
If American Idol wants to continue the tradition of having at least one judge be questionably lecherous, borderline incomprehensible, and, well, kind of out there — Charlie Sheen is the guy to call. Dr. Tiger Blood has put himself in the running to be the next Steven Tyler/Paula Adbul, courtesy of TMZ asking him about it.
Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe admitted the show's current search for new judges is like what they did for X-Factor: "Everybody's name came up. It's going to be the same with American Idol." Adam Lambert's name has emerged as one possibility to replace Steven, Randy Jackson or Jennifer Lopez and others will probably emerge, beyond Charlie.
Nigel actually talked to TMZ about Charlie, possibly joking when he said he would love to have Sheen and Jerry Lewis (random!) as judges for Season 12.
Here are Charlie's conditions to do the show, as told to TMZ:
• FX, which is airing his new show Anger Management, has to sign off on the Idol deal, which would put Charlie on FOX.
• He wants money. "If the numbers move the needle AND 'Idol' matches 20% of my weekly salary for Autism Speaks, JDRF, and the Boys and Girls Club ... then the hell with it. As we say, pour the smoke."
Right, that's the kind of thing we all say. If they do cast Charlie, it will be a giant sign to the world that Idol just wants big ratings and big headlines without requiring that the judges have any real experience in the music industry. Maybe they figure if Howard Stern can do America's Got Talent, Charlie can do Idol. But Idol is better than that ... right?

ATLANTA Jarrod Saltalamacchia drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth inning, Henderson Alvarez won for the first time in three starts and the Miami Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 on Thursday night.
In taking three of four games, the Marlins won just their second series in the last 10 against the Braves at Turner Field.
Alvarez (7-5) gave up six hits, two runs and one walk with four strikeouts in eight innings. The Marlins are 13-3 in his last 16 starts.
Braves closer Craig Kimbrel (0-2), pitching in a non-save situation with the game tied 2-all to begin the ninth, struck out Garrett Jones and had Marcell Ozuna struck out, too, but a wild pitch bounced a few feet away from catcher Evan Gattis and Ozuna reached safely.
With Saltalamacchia batting, Ozuna advanced to second on another wild pitch and scored on the RBI single to center, easily beating B.J. Uptons throw to the plate.
Saltalamacchia went 3-for-4 with two doubles.
Kimbrel allowed one hit and one run and struck out two.
Marlins closer Steve Cishek earned his 24th save in 27 chances, retiring Freddie Freeman, Justin Upton and Jason Heyward on fly balls in the ninth.
Alvarez had struggled against the Braves, going 0-2 with a 6.86 ERA in four career starts, and he was coming off an outing that ended after 2? innings when San Franciscos Joe Panik hit a liner off his left shin.
Chris Johnson hit his eighth homer, a two-run shot in the second that gave the Braves a 2-0 lead.
The Marlins tied it 2-all in the fifth on Adeiny Hecchavarrias RBI single and Christian Yelichs forceout.
Aaron Harang, who was attempting to win his fifth straight decision, gave up seven hits, two runs and two walks and struck out five in seven innings.
Marlins manager Mike Redmond successfully challenged that Justin Upton was out to end the sixth.
Upton, diving back to first base after Heyward lined out to shortstop, was originally called safe by first base umpire Rob Drake, but the call was overturned.
Redmond has successfully challenged 15 of 19 calls this year.
NOTES: Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez gave SS Andrelton Simmons the night off and started Ramiro Pena, who went 1 for 3, in his place. ... With a throwing miscue in Miamis 6-1 loss Wednesday to Atlanta, Saltalamacchia has 12 errors and is tied for most by a Marlins catcher in a season (Miguel Olivo 2007). ... When Freeman homered Wednesday, he snapped a stretch of 83 straight at-bats without a homer, the longest stint of his three-year career.

"Show Me the Way" to Get You to Stop Taking Pictures
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 8 2014 5:00AM
In the 1970's, Peter Frampton was famous for his guitar licks and for his vocalizations using a Talkbox.
Now, he's famous for doing something other than singing and playing.
He was doing a show in Indiana, and a guy up front was taking photos and videos with his cellphone. Peter kept telling the guy to stop, and he did – for a bit – and then started up again.
Peter was getting pretty upset, and the crowd was giving the guy a hard time too.
But he kept taking pictures and videos.
So toward the end of the show, Peter finished up "Do You Feel Like We Do" and walked into the audience. He asked the guy if he could see the pictures he'd been taking.
The guy handed it over, and Peter turned around and threw it behind the stage.
And around the world, every live performer heaved a collective sigh and said, "Why didn't I think of that?"
There is no video of the incident. At least, no one's come forward with any. And after seeing what Peter did, seriously, would you offer up your phone?

text: Why does "man ipf" (and FAQ) say: ... the following command will flush the kernel's current ruleset, install the new ruleset, and enable (-E) ipf: ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf.rules -E (This is the exact command executed by the /etc/rc script at boot-time if ipfilter=YES in /etc/rc.conf.) But if I look into the file /etc/netstart, I see only: # Configure the IP filter before configuring network interfaces if [ X"${ipfilter}" = X"YES" -a -f "${ipfilter_rules}" ]; then echo 'configuring IP filter' ipf -Fa -f ${ipfilter_rules} else ipfilter=NO ie. without the -E switch? I ask this, because I have let the lines ipfilter=NO ipnat=NO # for "YES" ipfilter must also be "YES" ... ipfilter_rules=/etc/ipf.rules # Rules for IP packet filtering ipnat_rules=/etc/ipnat.rules # Rules for Network Address Translation in the /etc/rc.conf and am starting the ipf and ipnat in the /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup file instead: tonline: ! /sbin/ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf.rules ! /sbin/ipnat -CF -f /etc/ipnat.rules And if I use the switch -E above, I get a warning that ipf is already enabled (but I wonder how? I have "ipfilter=NO"). Thanks Alex -- http://home.t-online.de/home/Alexander.Farber/

Tell Us Your Story!

Tell Me a Story
By Becky Giovagnoni | Categories: Advocacy
I have a confession: I love reality TV shows. It's true. Although I'm enough of a realist to realize that as viewers, we see a heavily edited version of actual reality, I still like watching the shows because they tell people's personal stories. They tell stories about people that actually exist. I love people's stories.
Communications at Compassion is largely about telling people's stories. And it's something…

FLORENCE, Ala. (WHNT) – Tuesday morning, University of North Alabama students, faculty and staff received an alert that shook the university.
Kilby Elementary School, a school associated with UNA, went into lockdown.
UNA Police Chief Robert Pastula says he received information about someone posting on a social media app called Yik Yak. The threat said they were going to come to UNA and "shoot it up."
Pastula took action immediately.
"We took all the precautions that we could to get everybody in the mode of thinking 'if I see something then call the police right away'," said Pastula.
Besides stepping up patrols, Pastula is working with the state trooper's office, Yik Yak, Florence Police and the Bureau of Investigation to find a suspect.
"We are working endlessly trying to figure out who is behind this and once we do find out we are going to prosecute them to the fullest extend of the law," says Pastula.
Even though the threat came through an anonymous source on social media, Pastula and his department are treating this as a very serious matter.

Glee Star Amber Riley Gets In a Fight With NYC Nightclub — But Why?
Wow, this is some crazy news, but here goes. Amber Riley (Mercedes Jones) was out on Sunday night with a bunch of her costars and friends from the revue she was starring in, Cotton Club Parade.
According to TMZ, Amber had called NYC's WIP Nightclub about having a closing night party with 30 friends. Club reps claim she said they'd buy a bunch of bottles in exchange for a table and a bottle on the house. (Even if you're a big star, bottle service is what keeps the club jumpin', jumpin'.)
Well, when Amber and her entourage arrived at the club, they refused to do the part where they spend money, and so the club didn't let them in. Enraged, Mercedes bashed in some headlights Amber took to Twitter to express her frustration and anger. "Never in my life have I dealt with such disrespect. That club @WIPNewYork on Vandam street, they are CROOKS and LIARS!" the actress tweeted.
But like a good teen idol, she later apologized for her outlash, tweeting "My apologies for going off on twitter everyone, I never act out of character this way but it was my last night to be with my cast-mates and it is was ruined. Was very disappointed but we made the best of the night!"
Okay, sort of apologized...

Since the time when cavemen first painted on cave walls, art has played an important role in society. The power of art is evident in its many different forms. It not only serves to entertain us, relax us and bring about certain moods or emotions but it goes further than this. It can inspire, energize and challenge us too as well as be used to heal and transform.
Artists help us to look more closely at familiar objects that surround us. They help us to see what is there but cannot be easily seen. They enable us to see people, our environment and the world we live in from a different perspective.
Art goes beyond what we see and can actually influence our actions. Politicians have always realized this and used it as a tool for propaganda. Visual images can be very compelling. For example, various images of suffering Vietnamese children were used to influenced people to protest against the war in Vietnam.
Cultures all over the world have different ways of expressing their beliefs. They use music, painting, drama and dance as part of this expression. These forms are considered very important to preservation of cultural identity and are passed down through the generations.
Many great artworks through the ages have been inspired by religion. Medieval churches, in particular, relied upon artworks to get religious teachings across to the many illiterate people. In the Renaissance period the wealthy who could afford to hire artists often subsidized major religious paintings. Michelangelo is one of these artists who was supported in the creation of his greatest paintings.
An artwork can also be used to shock people. In this form we are challenged and begin to ask questions. We may be forced to question our beliefs. Its function may be to criticize an aspect of society such as prejudice or discrimination.
Art may be used as a therapeutic tool. It has great value as a form of self expression for those who need healing. Experiencing the creativity first hand has a positive effect on the mind, body and spirit. This has caught the attention of scientists who are now conducting research into its effects on patients. Studies are showing how hospitalized patients heal both physiologically and psychologically through artistic expression. It decreases pain, fatigue, depression and anxiety. Chemotherapy patients who are encouraged to paint during treatment also showed great reduction in stress levels.
It can be used powerfully in many other arenas too such as the classroom. It is a useful educational tool and there is evidence that children with learning disabilities respond better when exposed to arts programs. It is also helpful as a means of expression for those who have been traumatized by war, rape or other violence and particularly those who are unable to speak about what has happened to them.
Art is a joyful form of self expression. Artists create works that are meaningful to them and others find inspiration in them. These works uplift the senses and stimulate the imagination. The power of art can be used as a tool in many different fields from politics to education. One of the most powerful benefits is its therapeutic value where it has been proved to foster healing.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn abolishes death penalty, commutes sentences | POLL
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Illinois abolished the death penalty Wednesday, more than a decade after the state imposed a moratorium on executions out of concern that innocent people could be put to death by a justice system that had wrongly condemned 13 men.
Gov. Pat Quinn also commuted the sentences of all 15 inmates remaining on death row. They will now serve life in prison with no chance of parole.
Two were from Southern Illinois.
Gary D. Pate, 40, of White County, was sentenced to death for the May 16, 2006, murders of his estranged wife, Kathleen Pate, 41, and her 16-year-old daughter, Amanda Jeffers. Both were shot and killed at a home they shared in Norris City.
Cecil S. Sutherland, 55, was sentenced to die by lethal injection for the 1987 kidnaping, rape and murder of Amy Rachelle Schulz of Kell.
The young Jefferson County girl disappeared July 1, 1987, while she was out searching for her dog. Her body was found a day later by an oil field worker. She had been raped and strangled, and her throat had been slashed.
In 2001, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that Sutherland should receive a second trial, because he did not receive adequate representation from a public defender. In one of the most expensive murder trials in Illinois history, the jury returned another guilty verdict, placing Sutherland back on death row. The retrial of Sutherland cost taxpayers more than $2 million.
State lawmakers voted in January to abandon capital punishment, and Quinn spent two months reflecting on the issue, speaking with prosecutors, crime victims' families, death penalty opponents and religious leaders. He called it the "most difficult decision" he has made as governor.
"We have found over and over again: Mistakes have been made. Innocent people have been freed. It's not possible to create a perfect, mistake-free death penalty system," Quinn said after signing the legislation.
Illinois will join 15 other states that have done away with executions.
The executive director of a national group that studies capital punishment said Illinois' move sets it apart from other states that have eliminated the death penalty because many of those places rarely used it.
"Illinois stands out because it was a state that used it, reconsidered it and now rejected it," said Richard Dieter, of the Death Penalty Information Center, in Washington.
Prosecutors and some victims' families had urged Quinn to veto the measure.
The governor offered words of consolation to those who had lost loved ones to violence, saying that the "family of Illinois" was with them. He said he understands victims will never be healed.
Illinois' moratorium goes back to 2000, when then-Republican Gov. George Ryan made international headlines by suspending executions. Ryan acted after years of growing doubts about the state's capital-punishment system, which was famously called into question in the 1990s, after courts concluded that 13 men had been wrongly condemned.
Shortly before leaving office in 2003, Ryan also cleared death row, commuting the sentences of 167 inmates to life in prison.
Illinois' last execution was in 1999.
Quinn promised to commute the sentence of anyone else who might be condemned before the law takes effect July 1.
New York and New Jersey did so in 2007. New Mexico followed in 2009, although new Republican Gov. Susana Martinez wants to reinstate the death penalty.
Anti-death penalty activists said other states have looked to Illinois as a leader on the issue ever since the moratorium began.
"This is a very significant action on the governor's part," said Mike Farrell, an actor best known for his role on the hit television show "M*A*S*H" and a longtime activist who is now the president of the board of directors of Death Penalty Focus in California.
"This is a domino in one sense, but it's a significant one."
As Illinois governor in the late 1970s, Republican James Thompson signed a law reinstating the death penalty and was an ardent supporter of capital punishment for decades.
"But for the last several years, I began to have my doubts," he said Wednesday.
Thompson said he came to believe the death penalty did not deter would-be murderers and that the risk of executing a single innocent person outweighed any potential benefits.
Quinn consulted with retired Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa and met with Sister Helen Prejean, the inspiration for the movie "Dead Man Walking."
A Chicago woman whose teenage son was gunned down in 2006 said she was disappointed in Quinn's decision — a move, she said, that victims' relatives tried to talk him out of a few weeks ago.
Pam Bosley said nobody is in custody in her son's death, but whoever killed him does not deserve to live.
"I don't want them to breathe the air that I breathe," said Bosley, whose 18-year-old son, Terrell Bosley, was killed in front of a church on Chicago's South Side.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan appealed directly to Quinn to veto the bill, as did several county prosecutors and victims' families. They said safeguards, including videotaped interrogations and easier access to DNA evidence, were in place to prevent innocent people from being wrongly executed.
Madigan declined to comment on Quinn's decision.
But death penalty opponents argued that there was still no guarantee that an innocent person couldn't be put to death. Quinn's lieutenant governor, Sheila Simon, herself a former prosecutor, urged him to sign the bill.
Illinois has executed 12 men since 1977, when the death penalty was reinstated. The last execution was Andrew Kokoraleis on March 17, 1999. At the time, the average length of stay on death row was 13 years.
Kokoraleis, convicted of murdering a 21-year-old woman, was put to death by lethal injection.
Another convicted murderer from Southern Illinois had been awaiting execution until 2003 when former Gov. George Ryan commuted the sentences of all 164 death row inmates to life in prison without parole. Niels Christian Nielsen, 37, of Wayne City was sentenced to death for the July 4, 1995, shooting death of his ex-wife Sue Marshel and her teenage daughter, Melinda.

As Brazil takes on Mexico for the men's soccer gold medal today at 10 a.m. ET, we're sure you won't have a problem keeping an eye out for 20-year-old soccer prodigy Neymar Da Silva Santos Junior, commonly known as simply Neymar. Since Americans are traditionally out of the loop with soccer a.k.a. football, here are seven facts to get you acquainted with one of the game's brightest young stars.
1. At just 11 years old, Neymar joined Brazil's legendary Santos FC Academy and nearly left at 14 to join Real Madrid, but Santos paid about $495,000 to keep him on his home turf.
2. He has a flair for the dramatic. Neymar's often criticized for his tendency to dive in hopes of being awarded a foul. Soccer legend Pelé once said (somewhat) in his defense, "He is a player with a body that can't take a lot of hits. A lot of times he will fall because he can't do anything else, but he was overdoing it."
To be fair, he is quite the featherweight at 5'9″ and 132 lbs. And according to this headband – 100% Jesus.

Race-Hustling Results: Part III
One of the reasons for being glad to be as old as I am is that I may be spared living to see a race war in America. Race wars are often wars in which nobody wins and everybody ends up much worse off than they were before.
Initial skirmishes in that race war have already begun, and have in fact been going on for some years. But public officials pretend that it is not happening, and the mainstream media seldom publish it at all, except in ways that conceal what is really taking place.
For American society, a dangerous polarization has set in. Signs of this polarization over the years include opposite reactions between blacks and whites to verdicts in the O.J. Simpson murder case, the "rape" charges against Duke University students, and trials resulting from the beating of Rodney King and the death of Trayvon Martin.
More dangerous than these highly publicized episodes over the years are innumerable organized and unprovoked physical attacks on whites by young black gangs in shopping malls, on beaches and in other public places all across the country today.
While some of these attacks make it into the media as isolated incidents, the nationwide pattern of organized black on white attacks by thugs remains invisible in the mainstream media, with the notable exception of Bill O'Reilly on the Fox News Channel.
Even when these attacks are accompanied by shouts of anti-white rhetoric and exultant laughter at the carnage, the racial makeup of the attackers and their victims is usually ignored by the media, and public officials often deny that race has anything to do with what happened.
These attacks have sent many people to the hospital, and some have died, but the attacks are often carried out in a festive atmosphere. What are called "troubled youths," in this and other contexts, are often in fact young people enjoying themselves greatly by creating big trouble for others.
Some of these many attacks are covered in detail in a book titled "White Girl Bleed A Lot" by Colin Flaherty. It was a phrase that I recognized immediately, from my own previous research.
That phrase was uttered by one of a group of black attackers who descended on a group of whites at a July 4th fireworks show in Milwaukee. But what happened there was not unique, either in itself or in the efforts of police and political authorities to play down what happened — and to say that race had nothing to do with it.
When the Chicago Tribune was criticized for editing out the race of the attackers in a series of similar organized attacks in Chicago, it replied that race was irrelevant. Yet race is not considered irrelevant when indignantly editorializing on a disproportionate number of young black males arrested and imprisoned.
Sadly, what happened in Milwaukee and Chicago were not isolated incidents. They were part of a pattern repeated in dozens of cities, located in every region of the country. Colin Flaherty's book, which is subtitled "The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It," reveals this pattern in painful detail.
Other books are emerging that are more clearly a white backlash, in the sense that they attack behavior patterns among contemporary blacks in general.
Perhaps the most clearly backlash books are those written by Paul Kersey, whose central theme is that whites have created thriving cities, which blacks subsequently took over and ruined. Examples include his books about Birmingham ("The Tragic City") and Detroit ("Escape from Detroit").
Kersey even takes a swing at Rush Limbaugh (and at yours truly) for saying that liberal policies destroyed these cities. He says that San Francisco and other cities with liberal policies, but without black demographic and political takeovers, have not been ruined. His books are poorly written, but raise tough questions.
It would be easy to simply dismiss Kersey as a racist. But denouncing him or ignoring him is not refuting him. Refuting requires thought, which has largely been replaced by fashionable buzz words and catch phrases, when it comes to discussions of race.
Thought is long overdue. So is honesty.

* Medvedev met opposition leaders, first time since big protests
* Activists say meeting brought no immediate results
* Putin expected to win March 4 presidential election (Updates throughout with meeting, quotes)
By Alexei Anishchuk
MOSCOW, Feb 20 (Reuters) - A rare meeting between Russia's president and opposition leaders produced talk of political reform on Monday but no sign of concessions strong enough to halt protests posing a challenge to Vladimir Putin as he prepares to return to the Kremlin.
President Dmitry Medvedev hosted protest organisers and leaders of unregistered parties at his residence outside Moscow in the first known direct high-level contact between the opposition and the Kremlin since the protests began in December.
"Our political system is far from ideal, and the majority of those present here criticise it, sometimes quite harshly," Medvedev, said in televised comments at the meeting.
"You know that for the last four years I have been changing certain parts of our political system. At the moment, in my view, the time has come to do this more actively," said Medvedev, whose term ends in early May.
Medvedev said he welcomed suggestions on how electoral reform legislation he has submitted to parliament since the protests began, including easier registration for parties and a return to elections of regional leaders, could be improved.
The meeting signaled an awareness of the challenge Putin, now Russia's prime minister, faces from the protests as he prepares to reclaim the presidency from Medvedev, the protege he ushered into the Kremlin in 2008 when he faced a bar on a third straight term.
Tens of thousands have turned out for opposition protests three times since a Dec. 4 parliamentary election, venting anger over suspected fraud in his party's favour and calling for a "Russia without Putin".
Putin, 59, is almost certain to win the presidency but the protests have revealed discontent among middle-class Russians who want change.
Shown prominently on state television, Monday's meeting also allowed the Kremlin to portray itself as inclusive and sensitive to the concerns of some of Putin's fiercest critics, such as former Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov.
Nemtsov said he had conveyed the demands of the protesters to Medvedev, including calls for the release people they say are political prisoners, such as former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, jailed since 2003 and due out in 2016.
"We can only talk about the results of this meeting when these people are free," Nemtsov said. "Only then I would feel that the contact wasn't in vain."
Nemtsov said Medvedev's reaction to his proposal to limit total number of presidential terms one person could serve to two was surprisingly positive.
But no concrete plans for that or any other political reform beyond the changes already promised emerged from the metting.
Liberal former lawmaker Vladimir Ryzhkov, another protest leader, said Medvedev appeared determined to get the political reform bills he has submitted passed before his term expires.
"He is ready to improve these draft bills, he is against spoiling them," Ryzhkov said on state-run First Channel TV.
In addition to restoring elections of governors, which Putin scrapped during his presidency, the bills would make it easier for political parties to register and contest elections, and would change the rules for parliamentary elections.
Some Kremlin critics have ridiculed the reform bills as too little, too late, and many fear Putin's party, which dominates parliament despite losing seats in the December vote, will shape them to his own benefit and to Putin's.
Putin has ignored most of the protesters' demands - including a rerun of the parliamentary election - and mocked them by likening the dissenters to apes and comparing the white ribbons worn by them to condoms.
Opposition figures seen as more radical by the Kremlin, such as anti-corruption blogger Alexei Navalny, did not attend Monday's meeting. (Reporting by Alexei Anishchuk; Editing by Timothy Heritage and Steve Gutterman)

State Of Connecticut, Record Of Proceedings
State Library Board
January 2000
Ann Clark, Judge Francis Hennessy, Joy Hostage, Mollie Keller, Edmund Sullivan, Edwin E. Williams, Larry Kibner
Robert Gallucci, Judge Joseph Flynn, Jack Short, Comm. Ted Sergi, Hazel McGuire
Others Present
Kendall Wiggin, Jane Beaudoin, Lynne Newell, Sharon Brettschneider, Richard Kingston, Dean Nelson, Mary Louise Jensen (State Library), Phillip James (ACLB), Dorothy Willett (ACLB), Pamela Bombara (CLSU), Anita Barney (CLSU), Kevin Rasch (CT Heritage Foundation), Fred Petersen (CT Heritage Foundation), Dick Lowenstein (ACLPD & Friends), Michael Golrick (CLA)
The meeting was called to order at 1:15 p.m. by Chairperson Clark. Ms. Clark began by stating that the State Library Board and the Connecticut Heritage Foundation had just come from a joint meeting. Ms. Clark added that the meeting was very productive and gave the boards an opportunity to be introduced to each other and discuss items of mutual interest. Ms. Clark introduced four members of the CT Heritage Foundation who were also attending the State Library Board meeting. They were Kevin Rasch, Fred Petersen, Phil James and Dorothy Willett.Minutes
Public Comment
State Librarian's Report
Mr. Wiggin reported that he and his Executive Committee have met with the Department of Public Health and the Department of Public Works regarding the Van Block Avenue space. The Department of Public Works has assumed that the Department of Public Health's material located at 80 Washington Street would be moved into any new location that the library moved to. However, it has become clear that the Department of Public Health is doing more than storing records at 80 Washington Street and is requiring more space than originally planned. They also need access to bathrooms, workspace, etc. It will negatively impact the State Library's use of Van Block if all of the Department of Public Health's requirements have to be met. We are now waiting to hear from Commissioner Anson of the Department of Public Works on this matter.
Mr. Wiggin informed the Board of his participation on two working groups. The first is an Ad Hoc group that wants to have greater web access to state statistics on children's health education and development. The second is a group representing the cultural institutions in Hartford. This group meets irregularly and discusses issues of common concern.
Mr. Wiggin concluded by informing the Board of a meeting he and the Museum of Connecticut History staff had with Ed Dombroskas of the Department of Economic Development, Tourism Division. Issues on increasing the Museum's visibility in the tourism field were discussed.
Board member Joy Hostage added that she attended a legislative reception hosted by the Southern Connecticut Library Council at which Ken Wiggin was a speaker. Ms. Hostage reported that Mr. Wiggin gave a great speech which was heard by many legislators.Other Reports
The CLA legislative agenda is now posted on its web site. CLA is still working on making its legislative bookmark. The CLA Legislative Committee will have a background paper for legislators and their staff which will give information on the role of libraries. This document is divided into sections by library type. This document will be distributed early in the legislative session. Mr. Golrick stated that it is his goal to have a copy distributed to every librarian in the state, including school librarians. Mr. Golrick credited Mr. Wiggin and other members of the State Library staff in helping with this document.
Mr. Golrick concluded by reminding everyone that CLA's Annual Conference is April 18-19 with preconferences beginning on April 17th. A personal invitation was extended to everyone in the room.
Advisory Council for Library Planning and Development (ACLPD): Chairperson Richard Lowenstein reported that the members of ACLPD responded very well to establishing three Task Forces which include non-ACLPD members. These Task Forces will research important trends and work is already being done. The three task forces are: Funding for Libraries; Library User Services; and Structure and Policy. ACLPD continues to have problems filling the library user positions on the Council. Mr. Lowenstein asked anyone with suggestions for individuals who can fill the user positions to alert Sharon Brettschneider, Ken Wiggin or himself.
Cooperating Library Service Units (CLSU): Anita Barney distributed a handout which describes the services that the CLSUs provide. Ms. Barney welcomed any questions the Board may have. Ms. Barney concluded by thanking Mr. Wiggin for agreeing to attend the Legislative Brunch coming up on Saturday, February 5, at the International College of Hospitality Management. At this time, six legislators have registered to attend.
Association of Connecticut Library Boards (ACLB): Phil James, President of ACLB informed the Board that ACLB will be sponsoring a trustee's program at the Connecticut Library Association Conference on Tuesday morning. Mr. James reported that there will be a Leadership Seminar this fall. This seminar will be a cooperative effort of the Connecticut Library Association, the State Library and the Association of Connecticut Library Boards. ACLB now has its own website. ACLB member Dorothy Willett is responsible for this website and updates the information on it regularly. The address for this website is www.aclb.org. This web site also has a link from the State Library's web page www.cslib.org. Mr. James closed by encouraging everyone to visit this website.
At this point in the meeting Michael Golrick commented that he had neglected to mention the CLA Potluck Supper. It is scheduled for March 22, and will be held in Memorial Hall at the Connecticut State Library's Museum of Connecticut History. This year's slogan is "Real Food for Real Legislators."
Advocacy Committee: Larry Kibner, Chair of the Board's Advocacy Committee, reported that the Committee's number one goal is to update the State library's present brochure. Mr. Kibner's second goal will be to enhance the State Library's visibility through networking. This year's legislative session starts on February 9. Mr. Kibner will be working with the Public Safety Committee this legislative session. Mr. Kibner encouraged the Board to let Ken Wiggin's office know who their legislators are so that he can network with them in particular. Ken Wiggin informed the Board that he has talked with Michael Golrick about combining the Board sponsored reception to honor legislators who have been active in moving the State Library's agenda forward, with the Connecticut Library Association's Potluck Supper. Mr. Wiggin will send those legislators who will be honored a letter alerting them to this fact. Sharon Brettschneider, Director of the Div. of Library Development, added that Building Consultant Mary Louise Jensen will again be coordinating a display of architect plans of libraries who have benefited from construction grants.
Friends: Richard Lowenstein reported in Jack Short's absence. The Friends met last week. Their membership is up to 157. Mr. Lowenstein invited all the Board members to join. The Friends will be celebrating its 20th anniversary soon and will be celebrating with a reception. The Friends are also participating in the Pot Luck Supper.
Board Chair Ann Clark asked Ken Wiggin to provide Board members with a monthly calendar of events that he attends, including location, date/time and host.Old Business
Coltsville Heritage Park: Mr. Wiggin informed the Board that he, Ed Sullivan, and Dean Nelson met with the two individuals interested in developing a living history technology museum at Coltsville Heritage Park. This is one of several proposals involving Coltsville Heritage Park which Mr. Wiggin will keep the Board apprised of.New Business
Approval of FY2000 LSTA Budget: Sharon Brettschneider reported that the FY 2000 LSTA budget allocates the Federal LSTA funds available from October 1, 1999 - September 30, 2000. At their October, 1999 meeting, the Advisory Council on Library Planning and Development approved a draft budget based on the FY99 allocation with the understanding that if the FY2000 allocation is greater, the additional funds would be assigned to the grants line. Mr. Wiggin stated that he received a call from Board member Jack Short who felt that additional funds should go to Continuing Education. Mrs. Brettschneider responded that she felt there was sufficient funding this year for Continuing Education. It was MOVED (E. Williams) seconded (E. Sullivan) THAT THE STATE LIBRARY BOARD APPROVES THE FY2000 LSTA BUDGET. PASSED unanimously.Other Business
Joy Hostage inquired about the libraries that are still waiting for the Bond Commission to approve their construction grants. Those libraries are Mansfield, East Granby, and Bridgeport. Ms. Hostage encouraged the Board members to write to their senators so that the information will reach the Governor. Ann Clark asked Ken Wiggin to encourage the towns waiting for their grant to attend the State Library's hearing before the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee scheduled for January 27th.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:22 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 27, 2000, at 1:15 p.m. (lunch at 12:30 p.m.) in the Attorney's Conference Room.
Respectfully submitted,
Kendall F. Wiggin, Secretary
Jane Beaudoin, Recorder

Market Leverage and Google Adsense
WPTD is turning 3 months old and since I started I have focused my energy on branding, building traffic, and gaining loyal subscribers. Therefore, it's about time I step-up in Monetizing this site. From now on, other than continually releasing WordPress Themes, I will also be blogging about Making Money Online and Internet Marketing. Both topic interests me a lot, and I thought this would be the most opportune time to inject personality into this site.
Therefore, I have signed-up for Google Adsense and got approved right away. I will be using it not only on WPTD but also on other Niche Websites I have been working on. I hope to be making this site content-rich from now on as this would absolutely help me earn from it.
I have also joined Market Leverage. It was an easy choice for me to do that since they have offered to sponsor a contest on WPTD, we are still in the process of finalizing the arrangement. Hopefully, I will be able to kick off the contest next week. Something to look forward to since our deal sounds really awesome. I would really love to get those items myself (but its for you my dear readers) so do not miss out the chance to win their cool prizes.
I have also noticed the way Market Leverage treats their publishers, it's nice to be able to interact with them to try to come up with awesome ideas that could be beneficial to both parties. Definitely a win-win situation as 90% of my site's traffic comes from USA, so I am hoping to be beneficial to the Market Leverage Family and to have a long term relationship with them.
Lastly, I will now start working on continually increasing my RSS Subsctribers, I've been a tad behind but it doesn't matter, as I've said, I'm all in for Blogging Idol.
