Miley Cyrus sure looks happy, and who can blame her?!
The 19-year-old bride-to-be and her handsome fiancé, Liam Hemsworth, were stunning at the Australians in Film Awards and benefit dinner in Century City, Calif., on Wednesday.
Miley wore a low-cut black dress, flaunting her cleavage with a built-in corset, and proudly showed off her gorgeous engagement ring.

"I just wanted to wear something simple because tonight is all about him," she told Us Weekly. Hemsworth, 22, was an honoree at the event. "I'm super stoked for him. He's really happy and it's great!"
The Tennessee native also gave some insight into what attracted her to her beau of three years. She explained: "I think there's a masculinity about [Australian men] that's like growing up in the South, like I did. It's very respectful and they are a little bit more respectful."
We're sure happy this southern belle found her perfect Australian gentleman in Hollywood!

No. 15 Midwestern State hogties Kingsville
KINGSVILLE — Keidrick Jackson rushed for 156 yards and four touchdowns as No. 15 Midwestern State thumped Texas A&M-Kingsville 45-28 Saturday night at Javelina Stadium.
The Mustangs (2-1 overall, 2-1 Lone Star Conference), chewed up 615 total yards, including 421 on the ground, to win their second consecutive game since losing to Tarleton State in the season opener.
The defending LSC champions exploded for 28 points in the second quarter, including three 1-yard TD runs by Jackson. Jimmy Pipkin also had an 89-yard TD run as the Mustangs rolled to a 35-7 halftime lead.
Kingsville (2-2, 1-2) stormed back in the second half and cut the lead to 35-21 with 14:54 to play. But Jackson broke three tackles on a 73-yard TD run 19 seconds later to push the Mustangs lead to 42-21.
Bryan Ehrlich, making his first start at quarterback for Kingsville, threw for 415 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
Tarleton 35, E. New Mexico 23
STEPHENVILLE — Vaughn Smith and Zach Henshaw combined for 280 yards and three rushing touchdowns to power the Texans past Eastern New Mexico.
Smith ran for 167 yards and two TDs, including a 69-yarder, and Henshaw ran for 113 yards and a TD.
It was the first time two Texans backs rushed for 100 yards or more in the same game since Sept. 12, 2009 (Roderick Smith, 204; Evan Robertson, 115).
Texans quarterback Aaron Doyle threw for 240 yards and two TDs, including a 50-yarder to Jamal Mays to give Tarleton (2-1, 2-1) a 21-10 lead 48 seconds before the half.
Wesley Wood threw two TD passes and ran for another to lead the Greyhounds (2-2, 1-2).
No. 25 West Texas A&M 24, IWU 0
SAN ANTONIO — Dustin Vaughan threw for 243 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the No. 25 Buffaloes (3-1, 2-0).
Lance Ratliff caught only two passes all night, but both went for TDs of 45 and 23 yards.
Daniel Christmas returned a blocked punt 11 yards for a touchdown, and WT's defense held Incarnate Word (1-3, 1-2) to just 146 total yards on offense while recording eight sacks.

I Just Moved to Minnesota. Do I Need a New Will?
Is There a Way to Disinherit a Child?
A Minneapolis Estate Planning Attorney Explains Why You Should Add Your Spouse to the Deed to Your House
Monday, August 29, 2011
Gay marriage is obviously a hot topic for me, not only because of how it affects unique families and non-traditional families, but also because of the legal implications to lawyers who practice estate and family law. With "traditional", aka "Federally supported", marriages my job takes less time and due diligence to ensure that the families are protected when a loved one dies or is incapacitated.
Gay marriage at the state level actually makes things trickier because it is not Federally-recognized. In those states where gay marriage is legal, separate tax records must be kept and the same amount of paperwork is filed for estate planning because of how the IRS views same-sex and unique couples as it would be if there were no gay marriage in that state at all. Still, from a purely social perspective and no thoughts to probate laws, wills, succession planning, etc. I am highly interested in how cases like this will play out.
The American Foundation for Equal Rights has made a motion to have the the video proceedings of the Proposition 8 Trial made public. This is a PR move on the part of the American Foundation for Equal Rights because they believe that were the American public to see the arguments made against gay marriage, see the "ugliness" in some of the dialog that they would understand how divisive it can be to vote on someone else's essential rights. I would hope that something like this could change hearts and minds, but I'm cynical. I'll wait and see.
I will say, however, that I am glad to see that there is a momentum to the movement and that people are continuing to push hard for equal rights.
Until the day that we have a full-recognized legal marriages for gay and lesbian families, I will keep doing what I do every day to protect the rights of gay and lesbian families, single parent families, and other non-traditional families who are overlooked by current laws.

Just treat us like human beings
Are the officials at the Transportation Security Administration stupid, or do they really know nothing about either security or public relations?
Rather than taking a page from the security measures used by its European counterparts, the TSA instead fumbles, bumbles and offends the public. Its tenure at our nation's airports has been filled with missteps, bad judgments and laughable inefficiency.
Anyone in Southern California who flies, even intermittently, knows to try to avoid the belligerent brutes at LAX if it is at all possible. In the last year or so, I have been through domestic and European airports, from tiny little Augusta, Ga., to London's Heathrow. I have never been as impressed with security and efficiency at an airport like I was at Heathrow.
In London, on the day I left, there was a bomb scare. Two hours before my flight was scheduled to depart, the entire airport was evacuated. Within three hours, they had the airport cleared, everyone through security and we were on our plane. No fuss. No delays. We even arrived in Los Angeles right on time.
Perhaps the TSA's difficulties stem from its refusal to pay decent wages, which leaves it with an employment pool of uneducated, underpaid, overworked tyrants who abuse passengers because they feel like they are in a position of power.
One friend of mine, traveling through LAX on her way to a family funeral, objected to the rough handling she received from a TSA agent. Rather than work with her, they pulled her out of line and subjected her to a minute search, followed by an interrogation that just coincidentally lasted just long enough for her to miss her flight.
She was not compensated by the airline, and ended up driving for almost 24 hours to reach her destination on time.
Another acquaintance, after filing a complaint about an incident, found himself "tagged" so that every time his name comes up at LAX, he is subjected to rigorous search and delay.
When my youngest was an infant, I had the humiliating experience at LAX of having a male TSA agent request that I not only put together and display my breast pump, he also requested that I step aside and "demonstrate" it to him all the while he was gazing right at the center of my chest.
Thank goodness a female agent was there or there would have been one heck of an incident because my husband wanted to throttle the guy.
We've all heard the horror stories. Many of us have experienced, if not humiliation, delays, rudeness, belligerence and outright threats. Most of us don't report the issues, preferring to forget them and move on because we are afraid that a complaint will put us on some nasty list where we won't ever be able to fly again.
The TSA's attitudes and policies have made it difficult for the average person to fly. Many of us are choosing vacations closer to home. We are finding ways to travel that don't include flying — driving, taking trains, or putting off that trip to avoid the hassle.
Airport security searches do not have to include the assault and humiliation of the passengers. TSA agents do not have to threaten and harass the public in order to ensure our well being.
Never, in any European airport, have I felt that I have been treated with anything other than dignity and respect. Why can't the TSA implement policies that mirror those of our overseas counterparts?
Kudos to John Tyner of Oceanside for having the strength of will and the courage to stand up to these thugs and force the TSA to be answerable for their tactics.
I know that his actions caused delays. I know that many TSA employees are only doing their jobs, constricted by ridiculous protocol and hampered by outrageous rules. I know they have to deal with thousands of passengers daily, many of whom are angry, rude and sarcastic. That does not excuse the TSA from treating the public like human beings.
In fact, perhaps if they were more polite, more reasonable, better educated and more efficient, they wouldn't have to deal with so many belligerent consumers.

I love Klout, let that be known. After all, I do co-author a damn blog on the topic. Most posts try to be humorous, many we hope are informative, but this one is different. And it's been a long time coming. I've held it back because I'm an optimist. Klout has been and is still in Beta so a few kinks are expected, right? Right. But the fact (I use that word loosely) that Klout is three years old and it is still the buggiest
site I use is just plain crappy. A few complaints in no particular order:
1) Navigation - For example, there are two places for me to click on the word "Perks", but both take me to different places. One showing past Perks
I've participated in and another one with that and more. Also, the "Home" navigation takes me to a different page than if I type in www.klout.com to my browser. Shouldn't they be the same thing?
2) Transparency - I'm not going to rant on about how the algorithm should be more open to users, in my opinion that's Klout's data and theirs alone. But I do wonder why if the score is calculated based on data from the past 90 days, then why in the score analysis screens do they only chart out the past 30?
3) Topics - I believe the Klout topics are accurate. BUT, only for heavy Twitter users like myself. Why? Well, according to Klout about 85% of my influence comes from Facebook and about 15% comes from Twitter. But looking at my topics they are spot on for what I tweet about (marketing, advertising, technology, etc.) but NOT for Facebook. There I'm talking about food, coffee and what color my shoes are that day (seriously).
4) Bugs – This is one of my biggest gripes. As a frequent Klout user it's no fun to constantly expect one thing and get another. Or worse, to expect something and get nothing. Maybe this is just my fault for using Internet Explorer. Here is the latest buggy example, and the inspiration for today's post.
This morning I received the following email:
Sweet, I thought! So I clicked through and saw this in the upper navigation on the site, reinforcing the email message:
then I saw this:
Funny thing here is that according to Klout I am not influential in any of the required topics.
Oh, now I see. In order to truly be eligible for the perk I must add Red Bull as a topic:
This will require 5 +k. At least I have 9 to spare, right? Right, so I click on the "add topic" button.
Oops! I guess not. Here's the next message I got:
Later in the morning I received the following screen when logging into Klout. I dig the humor in it, and after refreshing my browser the site was back to "normal" so it was no big deal really. More than anything it just seemed like the best way to close out this rant post.
How does Klout piss you off?

I'm no CEO, president, or famous inventor, but I myself would like to share my feelings on the passing of this giant. I've had no personal interaction or even professional one with this man, he never knew I existed, yet I am profoundly saddened. A feeling that creeps through my entire body appearing and suddenly relenting throughout the day. A silent moment does not pass that he is not in my thoughts. This all coming from someone who isn't a huge Mac fan, who hasn't had Mac personally affect his life compared to the grand scheme of Apple products released. Though I have many "don't"s, I do have a connection with this man. For years he has been more then just a man I've respected, a man who changed the world, more then a visionary to me. To me, he is and forever will be a hero of mine. At many times throughout my life I would think to myself "One day I'm going to be just like him", thinking of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, before I even knew who they were. Steve Jobs was a visionary, a genius, an artist, an inventor, a great man. He epitomized what we all want, regardless of race, ethnicity, background, upbringing whatever have you, he changed the world. He fundamentally changed how we as humans think. He achieved something far greater then mere wealth, something only the great can accomplish. He was a physical manifestation of "the dream" that thing we all think about occasionally. The thing we all silently assure ourselves of, that one day we will be great.
Steve Jobs didn't just philosophically change things, but to him we can attribute the creation, and perfection of numerous technologies that we consider essential to our day to day lives. He did many things that will help pave our way as humanity towards the future. He advanced technology in so many aspects besides just technologically as odd as that may sound, there is more to consumer technology then sheer computing capacity. Design. Steve Jobs was the Da Vinci, he was the modern Renaissance man. He was to technology what Michelangelo was to artistry. Steve's art was the iPhone, was the Mac, was every single graphical piece of MAC OSX.
I heard earlier someone say "Thanks Steve for sweating the little things". I can't agree more, Steve was a perfectionist in every facet of his personality, something that drove him towards greatness, without his peculiarity where would the world be?
Think Different Commercial Narrated by Steve Jobs.
This is what Steve was, an odd one out in the best possible sense.
He changed our world, over and over again, permanently. The world truly was his clay he saw fit to mold into only the greatest sculptures.
Steve Jobs was nothing short of awe inspiringly legendary.
I'm tearing up yet again, call me weird, call me sappy, call me crazy, but I'll do what Steve deserves, I'll remember him. Though Steve may no longer be with us, he will always be a piece of Apple, he will always live on in my heart. Steve, I hope you get the rest you deserved, and I know if their is truly a god you will be welcomed with open arms as one of the best humanity has to offer.
I've got to wipe the tears away. Cheers Steve, thanks for everything.
And one more thing... I have much more to say, more praise to give, but words cannot describe my feelings any longer, I will go now to remember man this as I hope you will too.

An absolutely magical restaurant . I am speechless. Everything was perfect except one tiny tiny thing. My cafe Americano was too Americano. Which is absolutely minor. The freshness, the wine list, the bread, the deserts. Absolutely incredible.

one of the best things about my time in LA. love the space, staff, ambiance and most of all, the food!! buratta, pork belly and truffle oil w/ mushroom pizza... and oh! the sunchokes, and of course, the caramel budino. got v. crowded ~12/09 and noise levels can bug, but that's the small price for everything else!
Posted by anonymous on 02/11/2010
Everything that came out of that kitchen was wonderful, and the service was just fine. We ate at one of the "communal" tables (because we went without a rez), which was fun because we got to acquaint ourselves with the other folks there. Amazing pizzas, excellent veg., fantastic steak -- and the desserts? My my my. Gotta try it at least once; but make reservations!
Posted by Anonymous on 02/09/2010
It's the kind of beautifully designed place (which is undeniable) which thinks that it knows food because they do a cheese board...then charges you something outrageous for four of the most tiny portions of cheese you could imagine, yet served with not enough crackers or bread. It thinks it's oh-so-hip, but it's really just annoying, overpriced and- up its own fundament Oh heavens is it self-assured, and for bo good reason. One last thing-it has the worst acoustics in LA, you can't hear a thing in there with the way the sound bounces around.

There Really Weren't Two 'Fringe' Endings
Showrunner J.H. Wyman clears the air on last week's rumor
Just ahead of Fox announcing a fifth and final season of "Fringe," entertainment news outlets reported that Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television were shooting two different endings for the cult series, just in case there was not any more time granted to the show.
But that's not the case, showrunner J.H. Wyman told The Hollywood Reporter.
"No, we did not shoot an alternate ending," he said. "We thought about it, but we did not."
The idea that there were two endings actually came from some of the cast, mainly Lance Reddick, who plays Broyles in the series.
"Something happens at the very, very end of the season finale," Reddick said at the time. "It may or may not stay, I don't know. It could open up an entire new season."
In fact, Wyman said, there was no time to do such a thing. He learned about the renewal of "Fringe" on April 26, just hours before it was released to the public.
"I was actually getting a guitar fixed," he said. "I got a call, and it was all these very happy voices. It was an incredible call because it was [unexpected]. It was music to my ears."
There is a chance that the new season could take place in 2036, something that was hinted about in a recent episode that seemed almost out of order from the rest of the episodes. Wyman wouldn't confirm or deny it, but did say they do have a plan.
"We definitely know where the series is going to end and how it's going to end, and what we're saying with the final season," Wyman said.
"Fringe" earned its final season because of its strong audience base, and despite having some of the lowest ratings on the Big Four networks. It's averaging a 1.9 rating/3 share in Fast National overnight ratings from The Nielsen Co., down more than 28 percent from last year.
"Fringe" airs its season finale May 11 at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.

The first time I heard Greg and Rebecca Sparks in concert I was in a club in Nashville. I was amazed. It was a rock act and Rebecca was all over the stage, Greg banging away at an acoustic guitar, and if I recall correctly, the awesome Kenny Greenburg (husband of Ashley Cleveland and writer of Amy Grant's #1 hit "Every Heartbeat") was on electric guitar --- and the atmosphere was electric.
I promise an electrifying atmosphere at this house concert --- just acoustic. The loudest instrument in the room will be Rebecca's voice, and you will not mind that at all. The recorded music doesn't do justice to what happens when these two are together. It soars.
Plus --- this is night not only with good music and fellowship with old and new friends, but also an opportunity to hear about the work of a local ministry, Embrace Uganda. We'll take just five minutes (I promise, only five) and tell you about the work they do in providing education, health care, and community development in three villages in the central African country of Uganda. You'll have opportunity to give, or not. You can also support by buying handmade Ugandan crafts. It'll be an awesome evening!
The concert is on Friday, April 13th, at 8:00. But you need to reserve your seats. Do that by visiting our web page here and clicking on the links therein. Once you reserve on Pay Pal, you'll be given information on the North Raleigh location and a few other details.
We hope to see you on the 13th!

Pop quiz: What substance inspired these ethereal musings?
Answer: Vodka!
Specifically, Pinnacle vodka, a French (!) import that's being touted (and sold at the low, low price of $17 per 1.5-liter jug) by the Wine Merchant, Ltd.
Unreal was struck by the description when we encountered it in a recent Wine Merchant e-newsletter, whose creators plucked it from the Beverage Testing Institute, a no-doubt eminent center of higher potable analysis that late last year (October 5, to be precise) assigned Pinnacle a rating of 91 on a 100-point scale and designated it as a "Best Buy."
Unreal can't resist a bargain. Nor can we resist vodka that tastes like fennel granola. So we hied to the Merch's Clayton location and picked up a bottle. While we were hieing, we scored a bottle apiece of Smirnoff blue-label and red-label "Triple Distilled" vodka and a bag of Dixie cups.
Having delegated our recent K-Y lube test to our burgeoning cougar entourage, we were damned if we were gonna let the vodka slip through our fingers. We assembled a panel of four fellow boozehounds experts. (The red-label Smirnoff is like Pinnacle, 80 proof. The blue-label is 100 proof. We included it because we wanted to make sure we got drunk as a control.)
After studious cogitation (a minute's worth, at the very least), we opted for a blind tasting and stashed the bottles in the freezer till cocktail hour. Then we poured, we swished, we swallowed.
Our notes, sadly, are woefully unpoetic next to those of the Beverage Testing folks':
Vodka 1: "Medicinal." "Mineral." "I'd use it to sterilize a wound." One of our colleagues declares that this one is "definitely not the 100-proof sample." Unreal is equally certain that it is the strong stuff.
Vodka 2: "Smooth," says one panel member. "Harsh," says another. "Band-Aid," pronounces a third (whose wound, presumably, has been sterilized). "Peppery!" A vague consensus begins to form around the observation that this particular vodka tastes milder than the first. "Like it's got ice melted in it," a panelist observes. The verdict: "This one's the one to buy if you're planning to drink and drive."
Intermezzo: Just a heads-up. Our panel is by no means drunk after two sips' worth apiece. But it has become apparent that it's nigh impossible to come up with anything colorful to say about the flavor of vodka. Maybe the Beverage Testing Institute has set the bar too high.
Vodka 3: "Bitter." "Herbal." "Fuck this. They all taste the same."
So which was which? Vodka 1 was the 100-proof Smirnoff. Vodka 2 was Pinnacle. Unreal will leave you with the words of the Beverage Testing Institute, which gave Vodka 3, a.k.a. Smirnoff red-label, an 88: "Clear. Creamy powdered sugar and talc aromas. Supple and delicate on the palate with a lightly glycerous texture and dusty minerality with hints of sweet anise and citrus. Finishes soft and clean."
The Tao of Swayze
St. Louis author Marcus Eder was returning to his novel Rorschach's Ribs last February when he stumbled upon the idea for another book. The actor Patrick Swayze had just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. At the same time, one of Eder's good friends was fighting her own battle against the disease. Eder's new book, Nobody Puts Swayze in the Corner: The Tao of Swayze, is the author's way of paying tribute both to his friend and his favorite actor. The work is penned under the name Phillip Callaway, a character in Eder's Rorschach's Ribs, and is available online at Amazon.com. All proceeds from the book benefit the American Cancer Society.
Unreal: Taoism and Swayze? A natural fit, you say?
Marcus Eder: It might seem difficult to pair sixth-century Chinese philosophy with Patrick Swayze movies, but you'd be amazed how well some of them come together.
We're particularly fond of Swayze's Dalton character from the film Road House. He was part prophet, part ass kicker.
Oh, yes. That's a great film. My poor wife has had to watch it with me seven times. She recently found a great quote that I never noticed. Dalton says, "You're too stupid to have a good time."
Sage advice, indeed. Do you have any other favorite quotes?
There are so many, from Point Break to Outsiders to Ghost to Dirty Dancing. One of the best — in relation to Taoism — is from Road House. Swayze's character says, "Nobody ever wins a fight." Taoism teaches a similar lesson: "So slaughters must be mourned, and conquest celebrated with a funeral."
Does Swayze know you've written a book comparing his movie lines to philosophy and religion?
Not that I know of. But I've researched laws on fair use. I think I'm pretty safe. I assume if he wanted to come after me he could, but I'd hope he'd realize that this book is for charity. It's a way of helping people.
It also pokes a bit of fun at Swayze, doesn't it?

By Post Staff
Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman has chosen former state Sen. Lavon Heidemann of Elk Creek as his new lieutenant governor, making the announcement Wednesday afternoon at the Capitol.
Heidemann, elected to the University of Nebraska Board of Regents last November, resigned that post shortly before taking the oath of office during a public ceremony that was part of the governor's news conference announcing his selection.
The 54-year-old Heidemann served as chairman of the Legislature's Appropriations Committee during his eight years in the Legislature…which he left last year because of term limits. He is a farmer-rancher, and serves his community as a volunteer firefighter.
A Republican like the governor, Heidemann replaces Rick Sheehy…who resigned earlier this month following a newspaper report that he had made thousands of personal calls to women, other than his wife, on his state-issued cellphone.
Governor Heineman said at the combination news conference swearing-in ceremony that he'd gotten to know and respect the new lieutenant governor during Heidemann's 6 years as chairman of the Legislature's Appropriations Committee…calling him "a proven, dedicated public servant for the citizens of Nebraska."
Heidemann said he was excited about becoming lieutenant governor because public service is something he believes in deeply, but admitted he hated to leave the Board of Regents after serving less than 2 months.
The governor will appoint the replacement for Heidemann on the Board of Regents, and that person will serve for two years, until the next election. The regents position is unpaid but the lieutenant governor is paid $75,000 annually.
The governor had said after Sheehy's resignation that he wanted to appoint someone who would not be running next year to be his successor…calling it an unfair advantage over the other candidates. Heidemann says he agrees completely.

Aruba police and the FBI are scrambling to gather evidence in the disappearance of Maryland woman Robyn Gardner before Monday, when Gary Giordano, her traveling partner and the only suspect in the case, will go before a judge who may release him, according to Aruba Solicitor General Taco Stein.
Giordano's U.S. house will be searched today by the FBI, and Aruba authorities say they are combing through the data from electronic devices Gardner and Giordano had while on vacation. Stein said they are viewing surveillance video and asking any witnesses to come forward to obtain as much evidence as possible before Monday afternoon, when Giordano will go to court. If there is sufficient evidence, a judge can then order Giordano to remain in the country as a suspect for another eight days under Aruba law, Stein said.
According to a U.S. Customs agent, Giordano came within minutes of leaving Aruba Aug. 5 before he was arrested, having made it through Customs and onto what is considered US soil as he was about to board a U.S.-bound plane. Aruba police obtained permission from U.S. authorities to detain Giordano, the agent said.
Giordano, 50, of Maryland, is being held as a suspect in the case because of "serious inconsistencies" in his story about her disappearance, according to Stein. Giordano told police the two were snorkeling off Baby Beach and Gardner never returned to shore, but Stein said there is a gap in time from when witnesses spotted the pair on the beach and Giordano reported Gardner, 35, missing.
"When you don't have a body and you suspect that there's foul play, it's always a problem," Stein said.
He added that Giordano has stopped cooperating with authorities
Giordano's attorney in Aruba, Michael Lopez, was instructed by his client not to speak with the media, according to Lopez's office assistant. He had previously said there is no evidence and no motive to show that his client committed murder.
Giordano Stalked, Pressured Other Women to Go Away With Him
At least four women have said that Giordano was alarmingly aggresive toward them.
Carrie Emerson told ABC News that Giordano tried to contact her daughter, a model, claiming that he was a producer and wanted to take her to Aruba for a photo shoot. He became angry when she said refused his offer.
"He started telling me stuff like that he would protect her. He said, 'It's not going to be another Natalee Holloway or anything,'" Emerson said, referring to the Alabama high school student who disappeared on the island in 2005.
"He got very angry with me at that point. He started telling me that if I went and slept with him he would make sure I was taken care of well financially. He said that 'if you ever let your daughter sleep with me too, I'll take care of both of ya'll for the rest of your lives financially,'" said Emerson, who told her story to the FBI.
Another woman said Giordano pressured her to go on a cruise with him, and when she refused, he stalked her, showing up outside her window wearing a deer costume.
Aruba authorities are counting on the testimony of women from Giordano's past to help convince a judge to hold him in the country longer.
Gardner Knew He was Dangerous Giordano had a history of sending aggressive, angry texts to Gardner, according to her best friend and roommate.

Bluetooth LE has solved the 50% problem, cracking open the IoT
The O'Reilly Radar Podcast: Alasdair Allan on BLE, data from the Pluto flyby, and the future of "personal space programs."
Subscribe to the O'Reilly Radar Podcast to track the technologies and people that will shape our world in the years to come.
In this week's O'Reilly Radar Podcast, O'Reilly's Mac Slocum chats with Alasdair Allan, an astrophysicist and director at Babilim Light Industries. In their wide-ranging conversation, Allan talks about the data coming out of the New Horizons Pluto flyby, the future of "personal space programs," and why Bluetooth LE (BLE) is cracking open the Internet of Things.
Here are a few highlights from their conversation:
The only thing Bluetooth LE shares with traditional Bluetooth is the name.
Bluetooth LE, now that Google Android also supports it, has solved the 50% problem. … Now that all of the smartphones in the world have Bluetooth LE, or at least the more modern ones, there is a very easy way to produce low-power devices — wearables, embedded sensors, all of that sort of stuff — that anyone can access with a smart phone.
The Internet of Things is neither about the Internet, nor really the things. I much prefer the academic term "ubiquitous computing," but no one really seems to want to use that, which is somewhat unfortunate.
You don't have to worry about power, and that can be a real lever to open up the wearables market in the same way the BLE was a lever to open the IoT market.
There are hardly any impact craters on the surface of Pluto, so that means that the surface itself is active. … Also, there's these huge mountain ranges, three-and-a-half-thousand meters tall — and they're pointy. There is no way the mountains on Pluto should be pointy.
Understanding neural function and virtual reality
The O'Reilly Data Show Podcast: Poppy Crum explains that what matters is efficiency in identifying and emphasizing relevant data.
Like many data scientists, I'm excited about advances in large-scale machine learning, particularly recent success stories in computer vision and speech recognition. But I'm also cognizant of the fact that press coverage tends to inflate what current systems can do, and their similarities to how the brain works.
During the latest episode of the O'Reilly Data Show Podcast, I had a chance to speak with Poppy Crum, a neuroscientist who gave a well-received keynote at Strata + Hadoop World in San Jose. She leads a research group at Dolby Labs and teaches a popular course at Stanford on Neuroplasticity in Musical Gaming. I wanted to get her take on AI and virtual reality systems, and hear about her experience building a team of researchers from diverse disciplines.
Understanding neural function
While it can sometimes be nice to mimic nature, in the case of the brain, machine learning researchers recognize that understanding and identifying the essential neural processes is much more critical. A related example cited by machine learning researchers is flight: wing flapping and feathers aren't critical, but an understanding of physics and aerodynamics is essential.
Crum and other neuroscience researchers express the same sentiment. She points out that a more meaningful goal should be to "extract and integrate relevant neural processing strategies when applicable, but also identify where there may be opportunities to be more efficient."
The goal in technology shouldn't be to build algorithms that mimic neural function. Rather, it's to understand neural function. … The brain is basically, in many cases, a Rube Goldberg machine. We've got this limited set of evolutionary building blocks that we are able to use to get to a sort of very complex end state. We need to be able to extract when that's relevant and integrate relevant neural processing strategies when it's applicable. We also want to be able to identify that there are opportunities to be more efficient and more relevant. I think of it as table manners. You have to know all the rules before you can break them. That's the big difference between being really cool or being a complete heathen. The same thing kind of exists in this area. How we get to the end state, we may be able to compromise, but we absolutely need to be thinking about what matters in neural function for perception. From my world, where we can't compromise is on the output. I really feel like we need a lot more work in this area. Read more…
Avoid design pitfalls in the IoT: Keep the focus on people
The O'Reilly Radar Podcast: Robert Brunner on IoT pitfalls, Ammunition, and the movement toward automation.
Subscribe to the O'Reilly Radar Podcast to track the technologies and people that will shape our world in the years to come.
For this week's Radar Podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down with Robert Brunner, founder of the Ammunition design studio. Brunner talked about how design can help mitigate IoT pitfalls, what drove him to found Ammunition, and why he's fascinated with design's role in the movement toward automation.
Here are a few of the highlights from our chat:
One of the biggest pitfalls I'm seeing in how companies are approaching the Internet of Things, especially in the consumer market, is, literally, not paying attention to people — how people understand products and how they interact with them and what they mean to them.
It was this broader experience and understanding of what [a product] is and what it does in people's lives, and what it means to them — that's experienced not just through the thing, but how they learn about it, how they buy it, what happens when they open up the box, what happens when they use the product, what happens when the product breaks; all these things add up to how you feel about it and, ultimately, how you relate to a company. That was the foundation of [Ammunition].
Ultimately, I define design as the purposeful creation of things.
Designing at Nasdaq
The O'Reilly Design Podcast: Aaron Irizarry on getting and keeping a seat at the table.
Subscribe to the O'Reilly Design Podcast to explore how experience design — and experience designers — are shaping business, the Internet of Things, and other domains.
Welcome to the inaugural episode of our newly launched O'Reilly Design Podcast. In this podcast episode, I chat with Aaron Irizarry. Irizarry is the director of UX for product design at Nasdaq, co-author of "Discussing Design" with Adam Connor, and a member of the program committee for O'Reilly's Design Conference.
Design at Nasdaq: A growing team
I first noted Nasdaq's commitment to design when talking to Irizarry about his book and the design conference hosted by Nasdaq that Irizarry helps develop:
It's interesting to see an organization that didn't have a product design team as of, what — 2011, I believe. To see the need for that, bring someone in, hire them to establish a team (which is my boss, Chris), and then see just the transition and the growth within the company, and how they embraced product design. We had to work a lot, and really educate and pitch in the beginning, explain to them the value of certain aspects of the job we were doing, whether that was research, usability, testing, why we were wanting to do more design of browser and rapid prototyping, and things like that.
We believe we're helping structure and build, and I think we still have work to do as a design-led organization. We recently did our Pro/Design conference in New York. Our opening speaker was the president of Nasdaq, and to hear her reference the design team's research, and to be in marketing meetings, and discussing the personas that we created, and to hear the president of Nasdaq speak about these kind of artifacts and items that we feel are crucial to design and the design process, it was a mark for us like, 'We're really starting to make a mark here. We're starting to show the value of what these things are,' not just because we want design, but we believe that this approach to design is going to be really good for the product, and in the end, good for the business.

Our world is full of bad UX, and it's costing us dearly
We need to provide people with proper access, interaction, and use of technology so that it serves their needs.

I love technology and I love design, and I love the power they have to help people.
That is why when I learned they had cost a young girl her life, it hurt me deeply and I couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks.
My wife, a nursing student, was sharing with her teacher how passionate I am about technology in health care. Her teacher rebutted, saying she thought we needed less technology in health care and shared a story that caused her to feel so strongly that way.
This is the story that inspired me to write this book and I would like to share it with you.
Jenny, as we will call her to protect the patient's identity, was a young girl who was diagnosed with cancer. She was in and out of the hospital for a number of years and was finally discharged. A while later she relapsed and returned to be given a very strong chemo treating medicine. This medicine is so strong and so toxic that it requires pre-hydration and post-hydration for three days with I.V. fluid.
However, after the medicine was administered, the nurses who were attending to the charting software, entering in everything required of them and making the appropriate orders, missed a very critical piece of information: Jenny was supposed to be given three days of I.V. hydration post treatment. The experienced nurses made this critical error because they were too distracted trying to figure out the software they were using.
When the morning nurse came in the next day, they saw that Jenny had died of toxicity and dehydration. All because these very seasoned nurses were preoccupied trying to figure out this interface (figure 1-1). Read more…

Nationwide, 14 percent of law enforcement officers are women, but in Farmington, it's only 6 percent - just 7 out of the 113 officers are women. But, the Farmington Police Department is trying to change that.
For Michele Delese, becoming a police officer was a childhood dream come true.
"I actually wanted to be a police officer since I was a little kid, I would watch television and that was always cool," said Delese.
She became a teacher instead, but after taking a ride along with a police officer she decided to make a career change.
Delese is one of seven women currently on the farmignton police force, but the department is hoping to find more recruits over the weekend.
Delese says that sometimes woman are afraid to join the force and get behind the wheel because they're afraid they're not going to be able to do the job or take care of their family, but in reality, it's the exact opposite.
"A lot of the woman I talk to they might have three kids and no husband and the father's not in the picture, and they're like 'I just can't do it with my kids,' but yeah they can," she said.
Besides benefits offered to police, there are also a lot of opportunities for career specialization.
For Delese, that growth came when she made the jump from patrol officer to eventually becoming the coordinator of the School Resource Officer Division.
"It was almost second nature to me to work with the schools and the students," she said.
Female Recruitment Day is Saturday, April 6 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Safety City in Farmington.

Grateful Dead
Greatest Stories Ever Told - "I Need A Miracle"
By David Dodd
I distinctly remember, when we heard that the Grateful Dead would be the musical guests on Saturday Night Live, back in 1978, discussing with my roommates what we could expect in the way of song selection for the show. Would they do a selection of "greatest hits" ("Truckin'," "Uncle John's Band…") or would they go for surprises? I predicted they would play their latest attempt at a top-40-friendly song, "I Need a Miracle," from the just-released "Shakedown Street" LP. And yes, they did play a greatest hit—"Casey Jones," but they also played "I Need a Miracle."
Seemed like a future "greatest hit" to me! It had a big, catchy hook, and a memorable refrain. It had hyperbole. It was rock and roll.
That album, "Shakedown Street," produced a few tunes with staying power in the ongoing live repertoire, most notably, of course, the title track, which turned into something really special. But the over-the-top lyrics of "I Need a Miracle," along with what became a link to an ongoing tradition, has its own long-term appeal. And it, too, stayed in permanent rotation through the duration of their career, with the longest hiatus in performance being a 43-show gap from late summer 1982 to early summer 1983, for a total of 271 performances.
So: here's the plan—each week, I will blog about a different song, focusing, usually, on the lyrics, but also on some other aspects of the song, including its overall impact—a truly subjective thing. Therefore, the best part, I would hope, would not be anything in particular that I might have to say, but rather, the conversation that may happen via the comments over the course of time. With Grateful Dead lyrics, there's always a new and different take on what they bring up for each listener, it seems.
When I built the Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics website, I actually did not even bother to annotate "I Need a Miracle." It doesn't have much in the way of the kind of literary or historical references that are the bread and butter of annotations. Really, the lyrics seem to me to be something Barlow might have written to one-up the image of women in other Dead songs, notably in "Sugar Magnolia." Or it may have been an attempt to get away with the kind of sexism that doomed "Money Money" from the get-go.
"Miracle" seems light-hearted and self-aware—the character singing the song (and I do think it's a character singing, not the persona of Weir, or of Barlow…) seems to be making fun of himself. "I need a woman 'bout twice my weight…a ton of fun who packs a gun with all her other freight." I mean—what? And "It takes dynamite to get me up….too much of everything is just enough." A nice turn of phrase. The miraculous is synonymous with the excessive, the transcendent with the hyperbolic and overblown.
"I Need a Miracle" signs by Deadheads.
But, despite the sense of the lyrics on the face of it, what "Miracle" did was to put something into Grateful Dead culture, just by way of introducing the word: miracle. I wonder who the first Deadhead was who thought of making a sign saying "I need a miracle," and putting a finger in the air outside a show, asking for a ticket. But it soon became commonplace, and "miracle" became code for a last-minute, sometimes free ticket. I had the pleasure of giving out a miracle ticket a few times, and I have also received them, and it does feel miraculous, from both ends—giving and receiving.
Beyond that, though, and bigger, is how the word "miracle," in common use, gave us a way of thinking (and sometimes talking) about what went on onstage. Being open to something miraculous occurring in performance had always been a part of the Dead's playing. The X Factor, as it was sometimes called, was present when the music was playing the band. The idea of "needing a miracle every day" seems at first borderline ridiculous, but over time, maybe it seems less so, and even something to be expected. Certainly, from my own experience, the Dead delivered a miracle more often than not. And I became more open to finding the miraculous in daily life.
Drove to D.C with two friends, we all had tix for the first night. One friend did not have one for the 26th.
After coming up empty I decided to sell my official mail order ticket and hang out with my friend on the lawn outside.
A young hippie girl was waving her finger so I told her there was a ticket available. I showed her the ticket and she said "what the heck is this". I said it doesn't get any more official than that, at which point she thought it was for free. Face value I said. She reluctantly coughed up the dough, and without as much as a thank you, walked away. Had a great time slurping jello shots and smoking the mean green and listening to the show from the lawn just outside the venue. The sound was very clear. A couple of feet to the left or right made all the difference. Had a blast the first night taking photos right between Bobby and Jerry. The photo of Jerry that you see under my name is from that show. Actually Jerry on stage with Sting.
While I'm at it, did anyone out there get accosted by that beast in August '94 at the Meadowlands who was trying to scrape up bail money for her "friend". Downright vicious, I thought she was gonna kick my ass when I said "Sorry I can't spare anything today".
Called me an f-ing liar among other colorful accusations.
Sad occasion.
The best Miracle tix I ever gave out were for the Grateful Dead's final show, in Chicago. I had 20th row seats for both Saturday and Sunday and, having seen how poorly Jerry was playing, and just having gotten back from vacation, I went to their hotel in the hopes of an autograph from Jerry. He left the hotel alone, later than the rest of the band. We shared an elevator ride to the ground floor and talked about art, the Art Institute and our favorite paintings and artists. The elevator opened and I asked him to sign my "Bear's Choice" album previously signed by Bobby and Phil. He did, after asking whether I was "a pro." When I assured him I was not, he signed it, I said "have a good show" and he went off to do his final concert ever. With that, I went to Soldier Field and found a couple that I thought would enjoy a couple Miracle tickets. I don't know who they were, but I'm glad they got them. A great, and sad, day all around.
I was glad to see the other comments here about the shift from paying for that miracle ticket to expecting a freebie. It always bothered me that some people felt entitled to a handout.
I attended one show in DC back in the early '80s and actually had an extra ticket due to a friend not being able to make it. A guy with his finger in the air (but no sign) was asking everyone that passed if they had an extra ticket. I stopped, said yes, for face value. He then gave me the "Duuuude, I don't have any money" line. I said "So you're looking for a handout rather than a miracle?" Got a few laughs from the people around us as he walked away. As I got closer to the entrance I passed another person with finger in air and miracle sign. I noticed he also had some homemade tie-dye shirts with him. Again I mentioned having one and wanting to sell it for face value. The guy was ecstatic, started pulling out bills, some change, and was asking if I'd take a shirt or two towards the amount. I took a $5 bill and a shirt and said "A beer and a cool shirt will work for me, enjoy the show" and handed him the ticket. What a great feel-good vibe for both of us as we walked in.
I hate to be a complainer but I think this should be known to everyone out there thinking about buying something from Dead.net. On October 29th, 2012, I ordered 3 road trips from the website. ( Road Trips 1.1, 1.4, & 2.4) and my order was cancelled today and I was given no reason at all. It might be a different situation if these were sold out but you can still go on the website (right now) and "purchase" any of these three road trips. I understand supply and demand and all of that but how can they get away with this? 3 months?!?!? I know it wont happen but I wish we could go on strike and not order anything from this website at all, whether it be stickers, CD's, buttons, shirts, anything! They shouldn't be able to get away with this. I would maybe understand if it was a week later but 3 months and then all of a sudden...oh...by the way...your order is cancelled...have a nice day. Well, fuck that. Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing and, unfortunately, Im worried this is only the beginning.
I associated the whole miracle thing as much or more with Garcia's cover of Bruce Cockburn's "Waiting for a Miracle."
The only time i ever did not have tickets was in Worcester Ma. April 87. For what ever reason the box office did not have those few that they save back and thats when I paid $80 for a ticket from a scalper. I saw him and they were $60 bucks and thought I could do better and next time I saw him (15 mins later) I balked and he said "I'm going around that corner and they will $100. Paid than man and then told him I hope he gets robbed"
Never would I go to a show without tickets unless it was in my back yard and I would go hang out but never would I go driving miles
Stop me if you've heard this one already.... :D
The first year at Deer Creek proved to be a very tough ticket to get, at least in my circles, as it had sold out quickly. We went there anyway because some of our crew had tix, and we were all going on to Alpine after that. When we got there I think they were even denying access to the parking lot for the ticketless if I remember right, so we were forced to park alongside a cornfield outside the venue along with a bunch of other unlucky individuals and started our search. I don't think we had been there more than half an hour when some guy, who appeared to be attached with the venue, shows up with a handful of tickets and says, "I'll sell you all tickets as long as you move your cars".
The only other time I ever showed up to a venue ticketless was the second night in New Haven '83, but that's another story....
Our family has been going to the Strawberry Music Festival for many years. Last year, my 19-year-old son had a friend who needed a ticket, and we were unable to get one for him, but he made it to the festival anyway - my son said that someone "miracled" him a ticket. I said, "Do you know where that term comes from?" He didn't, so I got to educate him a little. I do a similar thing with my gay friends who think that "We are everywhere" started with the gay community. And you know those bumper stickers that say "Hugs not Drugs?" Yep, we started that too, but our Deadhead message was worded a bit less judgmentally: "Hugs are better than drugs."
I forgot the best part.
On the tickets were the words "Complimentary".
A true miracle ticket from the band.
Kudos to David D for steppin up to the plate for us lonely deadheads here in cyberspace.
Thanks again to Blair for the last few years of blogs to allow use deadies to vent and pontificate about the greatest group in history.
I Need A Miracle ( or how I was gifted with at ticket at Frost amphitheater at Stanford in Palo Alto, CA in 1983.)
Heard that the boys were doin' a show at Stanford, since we were over the hill in Santa Cruz it was a quick trip, we piled in the car and hit a liquor store in Palo Alto then arrived late for the ending of the first set. Milled around, held a boombox for a fencejumper who wimpped out at the last minute, then as the boys return for the second set we are strollin' by the main gate area when my friend and I are accosted by a guy who states "Hey ! Wanna go in to the show ?, Here. Take these tickets. Now you can't sell them or trade them. So just head on in to the show." "Uh. Okay."
So the next day I hitch a ride over the hill and arrive about a half hour before the show starts.
I wander around checkin' out the scene and as the boys begin to jam, I begin my circuit of the amphitheater.
As I return to the main gate area, I notice a guy by the ticket booth, that is in a roped off area, and he comes out of the ropes near me so I ask, "Hey, got any miracles ?", and he's like, all gruff and mean soundin', "What ?" "How Many ?", and I'm, like, "Just one for me, dude", he then proceeds to pull a stack of about 50 tickets from his pocket and gives me one. Some others are near enough to notice and he gives away three more. Then he puts them away and wanders off lookin' like he's lookin' for the miracle"
Great show Double Encore and the announcement that the Dead would be playin' in Watsonville in Sept.
Many other miracle stories in my travels with the Dead but that was the first.

Videos : Emilie De Ravin soundbite about episode 6×06 and Claire
Here some teasers by Emilie about tonight episode but also Emilie talks about the new Claire, the importance of Aaron for her.
Here some teasers by Emilie about tonight episode but also Emilie talks about the new Claire, the importance of Aaron for her.
So Claire is crazy, huh?
[Laughs] In a nutshell, yes!
Funny you say the word "nutshell" because I've heard something about a squirrel baby …
Mmmhmmm … I've made myself a squirrel child out of squirrel bones and some kind of fur and little button eyes. He's real cute.
Obviously you can't just disappear with your father in that cabin for a full season and not have repercussions, so is this what's happened?
Yeah, she's been three years, living on her own, making her own housing and food and protecting herself. The only person she's had contact with as a friend is Locke — who's not really Locke anymore. So any information that she's been given about what's going on with other people or the Island is from him. And there are maybe some things that are not the whole truth. He's led her to believe that the Others have her baby at the Temple, so that's been her whole plan this last three years, to get him back. Finding out that he's off the Island and Kate is bringing him up is just like a complete, complete shock to her. So there's an interesting relationship with Claire and Kate now — a combination of animosity, to say the least, and also respect and thanks. So that's been fun playing with.
Kind of crazy to think that while Kate was raising Aaron, she was doing so with Jack, Claire's brother.
[Laughs] Yes — we're getting very incestuous on this show!
Well as long as Claire and Jack aren't the ones sleeping together and having the baby, I guess I'm OK with it …
Oh, you didn't read the next episode? [Laughs] I wouldn't be surprised! That's the season finale.

Ask Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin about shooting their new movie, Remember Me, and they instantly start talking about the throngs of Twilight fans and pushy paparazzi who swarmed around them as they filmed on the streets of New York.
"It was the most ridiculous experience," says Pattinson, flashing the sweet, shy smile those crowds hoped to see. "You're trying to stay in character and you're trying to walk down the street, but all those people keep reminding you that you're not this character, you're—"
"A show pony," cracks de Ravin, and the two burst into laughter.

Antony Sutton
It's summertime in England. Wimbledon has ended, the school holidays are about to begin and the back pages are filled with rumors of player transfers. And, as is all too often the case, Arsenal players' future all too prominently.
Last year, it was the sagas of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri that went down to the wire. The club, all along, claimed both players were staying – yet we all knew they would leave.
Now history repeats. Looking back on the sensational 18-months, Robin van Persie has decided not to sign a new contract claiming he and the club don't agree on how to bring success to North London.
It's funny that during the injury-plagued first six-and-a-half years with the club – when he spent way too long on the treatment table and too little time on the field – he wasn't so worried about the lack of silverware. During those dark days the chances of any big team wanting him should Arsenal have decided to have got rid were pretty small. The guy was forever injured.
Footballers have short careers. It is thought that the Dutch striker earns something like $120,000 a week. Not many people I know earn that type of money in a year let alone a week. Manchester City, with the deep pockets of Abu Dhabi's rulers funding them, are thought to be willing to offer him three times that to move to the Champions. And let's be totally honest, who wouldn't accept a job offer involving such a substantial increase?
van Persie is probably right to cash in. He is 29 years old, coming off the back of an uninspiring performance in the Euros and many suitors, looking for a better bang for their buck, will treat his injury record with caution. Sign him on a four-year deal and there will be no resale value and the risk of serious injury will get higher and higher.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will be all too aware of this and will probably be happy to cash in on the striker. With Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski already recruited, and both heavily left footed, it seems that for all his protestations, to the contrary, he has been long planning for his captain's departure.
Whether these two are enough to help Arsenal end their trophy drought remains to be seen. Keeping van Persie is also no guarantee of silverware. But Wenger has set about ripping the guts out of the young team he had been building, getting rid of dead wood that had hung around too long on high salaries yet offering way too little quality.
With Podolski and Giroud coming in and hungry to prove their worth in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta looking to build on last season's impressive debut season,, and Jack Wilshire hoping to return early in the new season, Wenger may be thinking that van Persie, for all his heroics over the last season-and-a-half, is still a link to a team that was steeped in failure and that it is time to move on.

Illuminated by flashing blue police car lights, the wool-capped, fleece-clad, ragtag crowd of protesters sat in the middle of the intersection -- dark silhouettes against the brightly lit, gleaming-white Walter E. Washington Convention Center, blocks away from the White House.
At least a few hundred had gathered Friday night to protest in front of the convention center, where Americans for Prosperity, a political advocacy group founded by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, was hosting a gala.
On the surface, the "Occupy the Kochs: Guerilla Drive-In" event looked like any other "Occupy" movement protest against the proverbial 1 percent of the population who hold the nation's wealth.
But a confederation of long-established progressive political advocacy groups -- the Campaign for America's Future, Campaign for Community Change, Common Cause, Health Care for America Now and the aptly named Other 98% -- were behind Friday's protest.
"This was the first time that there was something like that, where a bunch of groups put together this guerilla drive-in and 'Occupy' people marched out, which we were super happy with," said Alex Lawson, an organizer for the Other 98%.
It was the group's second "drive-in," staged like an outdoor movie-theater, with videos projected onto building exteriors. The first was held in New York, at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater.
Although he attended Friday night's event, 26-year-old Matt Patterson, who has been with the Occupy DC movement from the beginning and is part of the movement's media committee, rejected the notion that Occupy DC was part of, or driven by any more established progressive organization.
"[Occupy DC] is fiercely independent and is associated with no other leader, person or organization. Other groups may try to steal the branding, but that does not in any way imply that we endorse them," Patterson told ABC News.
He said there had been an intense debate within the Occupy DC movement about whether to accept sleeping bags from the biggger, more established MoveOn movement, fearing that it could compromise its independence.
"From my experience, almost no one at Occupy DC is strongly affiliated with either party and has a strong distrust of an organization that may be a Democratic-front group. The Democratic Party is largely corporate-controlled ... and neither the Democratic Party nor the associated progressive groups have succeed[ed] at delivering for the American people for the last 10 years," Patterson said.
Others who attended Friday's Drive-In protest seemed unaware that it was organized by some of the nation's most powerful progressive political advocacy groups. Common Cause, for example, according to its audited financial statement, had total assets for FY2011 of more than $3 million.
Protester Meghan Gabriel said she was at the D.C. intersection Friday night as part of the "Occupy K Street" movement.
"We want to make it clear we're occupying the center of power in D.C.," she told ABC News. In an inadvertent twist of irony, Health Care for America Now and Campaign for America's Future, two of the Drive-In organizers, are also located on K Street.
