Bob Hope's mastery of the comic monologue and the topical wisecrack carried him from vaudeville to Broadway musicals and then on to worldwide fame as a radio, film and television star of the first magnitude. He died July 27, 2003 at 100.
There was nothing Mr. Hope loved more than an audience, and audiences responded in kind, particularly soldiers facing combat who desperately needed a laugh. He once chartered a yacht for a cruise in Canadian waters. It was one of the few formal vacations he ever took, and he found he could not stand the serenity. He cut the cruise short and returned to Hollywood with the comment, "Fish don't applaud."
Mr. Hope, who made an art and a vast fortune out of the delivery of the one-line gag, thrived on applause. It was the secret of his youthfulness.
It was also an important source of the energy that allowed him to travel millions of miles to entertain American servicemen, far exceeding the effort of any other entertainer. From 1941 to 1948 he performed nearly all of his 400 radio shows at military bases. At an age when most performers curtail their activities, Mr. Hope made annual tours of Vietnam, playing to the sons of the servicemen he had entertained during World War II or the Korean War.
Several generations delighted in Mr. Hope's style of humor, epitomized by his breezy monologues, tightly woven gags that mixed the topical with the fantastic.

Anna Netrebko Performed Sensational Open-air Concert with Jonas Kaufmann and Thomas Hampson at Munich's Königsplatz
"Once again, Netrebko was fabulous... With her charisma and her flawless technique, she was the star of the night. Whether singing Mimě, operetta by Kálmán or Offenbach's Barcarolle, she was simply a dream." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
Almost 15,000 people gathered at the Königsplatz in Munich on Saturday 27 June for an open-air concert headlined by Anna Netrebko. The great Russian soprano was joined by fellow opera superstars Jonas Kaufmann and Thomas Hampson for an event certain to live long in the memory. These three exceptional artists performed arias, duets, trios and set-piece scenes from operas by, among others, Puccini, Tchaikovsky and Verdi. The thrilling Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov and the young mezzo-soprano Elena Zhidkova, already in demand at the world's leading opera houses, completed the evening's majestic solo line-up.
Munich's Summit of the Stars flowed naturally from Anna Netrebko's thrilling Königsplatz appearances in 2005, 2009 and 2011, events that set benchmark standards for the popular presentation of classical music to a massive audience. This year's concert was broadcast by ZDF on Sunday 28 June, reaching millions of television viewers and creating an important record of a landmark occasion.
Anna Netrebko's Verismo, scheduled for release this November, will soon be recorded in company with the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and Antonio Pappano. The new album includes arias by Puccini, Leoncavallo, Ponchielli, Boito, Giordano and Catalani, ideally matched to the soprano's charismatic artistry, spine-tingling vocal powers and readiness to take daring risks in pursuit of profound expressive truths.

By BILL HOWELLHelper
The federal land management agencies in Utah have embarked upon a statewide initiative to designate certain rivers, streams and dry washes under the federal "Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968."
Once a channel or channel segment is designated by Congress as either "wild," "scenic" or "recreational," all activities of man that may alter the characteristics of the designated area will be subject to review and approval by the federal agency. This includes activities on adjacent, private land. In the words of one agency representative, "we'll have a seat at the table" when water or land development potentially altering a designated segment is considered.
What is wrong with this picture? What is wrong is that the federal agency brings the constitutional Supremacy Clause to the table with it. The agency is not just another "seat at the table." Under a presumption of supremacy the agency becomes the controller of water and land development in the State where designated channels might be concerned. Most people seem to see no problem with this federal role.
At the same time most people would also say that it is important to protect and defend our Constitution. Trouble is, in this instance we can't have it both ways. The federal government was established under the Constitution with certain specific powers. Alexander Hamilton said the proposed Constitution "leaves in (state) possession certain exclusive and very important portions of sovereign power."
James Madison said: "The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the state governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce .... The powers reserved to the several states will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the state."
Relative to water and state control over it, the United States Supreme Court has said "Obviously, and it may be said primarily, among the incidents of that equality, is the right to make improvements in the rivers, water-courses, and highways situated within the State." Withers v. Buckley, 61 US 84, 1857.
There are those who would sophisticate the words of the framers of the Constitution and early court opinion. They would say that new societal values and "modern" court precedent have changed the roles and powers of the Congress and the states. They would say that we have a "living" constitution that recognizes these changes so it can be rewritten practically on a moments notice to meet modern needs. The fact is, if we have a "living" constitution, we have no constitution at all. We have only the rules set by the power brokers of the moment.
If the Constitution should prove outdated, a means was provided for its amendment by the people in conventions of their states. No amendment was made whereby Congress might expropriate the waters of a state for wilderness, scenic or recreational purposes. Under the Constitution, if it is to be properly construed, Congress may command the waters of a state only by the consent of the legislature of that state. If a state cannot command its waters against the demands of special interest factions working their will in Congress, then state internal sovereignty means nothing. If state internal sovereignty means nothing, then Constitutional limitations on the exercise of federal power also mean nothing. If limitations on federal power set down in the Constitution means nothing then the Constitution means nothing. At this point, the Constitution becomes no more than a fluid set of discretionary guidelines that Congress may obey or not, depending upon the will of its power brokers.
The question underlying the federal Wild and Scenic River initiative is not which streams or dry washes to designate and place under centralized, federal command but whether Congress has the authority under the Constitution to engage in such a program in the first place?
The answer to this question will tell us one of two things. Either the framers and early court opinions deceived us with regard to the sovereignty of states and the limitations on federal power or the federal Wild and Scenic River initiative now before us is a Constitution and liberty destroying fraud with the federal government acting well beyond the limits placed on it by the people.
Some may take offense at the harshness of these two alternatives. The truth is, however, that there are no other alternative answers. People who value the liberties they possess under original and unaltered constitutional principles, and particularly those who have sworn solemn oath to "support and defend' the Constitution as it is written, should closely consider this question.

'Beyond the Manhunts: How to Stop Terror' – a GPS special premieres this Sunday at 10 a.m. & 1 p.m. ET
By Fareed Zakaria
We are now a little more than three weeks from the Marathon day bombings in Boston, a good time to ask ourselves, what did it tell us about the future of terrorism? What is the nature of the threat we face – and are we prepared for it?
First, Boston was not the kind of attack that we have worried about and planned for in the last decades. Al Qaeda, the group that planned and directed the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, then the attack of the American destroyer, USS Cole, and then the World Trade Center, was an organized, well-financed group with deep roots in a few countries, strategic leaders, clever planners, and fanatical supporters. That group is a shadow of its former self, battered by ten years in which Western and allied governments have attacked its leaders, tracked its money, and followed its trail. Perhaps most important, as it practiced terrorism in more countries, it lost any political support or sympathy it had in the Muslim world.
Indeed, before Osama bin Laden died, he wrote about al Qaeda's reduced fortunes. "He was very aware that the al Qaeda brand was in deep trouble," terrorism analyst Peter Bergen notes. "He was advising other groups not to adopt the al Qaeda brand because it would be bad for fundraising, would attract a lot of negative attention."
But while al Qaeda central is in deep trouble, it has become a franchise operation, with a number of groups around the world latching onto its cause (though mostly not its name, even though some relish the notoriety and attention that it gives them). But there is a vigorous debate over whether these groups – al-Shabaab in Somalia, Ganda Koy and Ansar Dine in Mali and Ansar al-Sharia in Yemen – are more local thugs than global terrorists. In my reading of them, local concerns seem paramount. Even the Taliban, after all, does not have global terrorist ambitions, but instead has always focused on its desire to control Afghanistan. Americans often forget that though we went to war in Afghanistan, no Afghan was involved in 9/11, nor in any other major terrorist plot against Americans and Europeans.
More from GPS: Washington's unhelpful blame game
The former CIA counter terrorism chief Robert Grenier says about what is happening in North Africa that we must be "very, very careful lest we internationalize what is fundamentally a local security concern." Turning local thugs into global terrorists could well prove to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
A third point to remember is that al Qaeda was not crippled by magic but through the hard work of counter-terrorism by many governments across many regions. However, as we fight terrorism we have to keep in mind two factors. One is to think hard about collateral damage when we target a bad guy with a drone. As Bergen also noted, there is always a temptation to keep using a tactic if it has worked in the past. Yet in 2010, there were 122 drone strikes. Are there 122 al Qaeda leaders in the world? Or are we using these for anyone we suspect is a bad guy?
What is the collateral damage of this expanded use in a country like Pakistan, where anti-Americanism is now at fever pitch? General Stanley McChrystal, who ran hundreds of special missions to kill terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan, has said that if we use our asymmetrical weapons – drones – indiscriminately in foreign countries, we should not be surprised if people start responding using their own asymmetrical weapon (the suicide bombers) indiscriminately in our country.
Fourth, the Boston bombings have reminded us that the war on terror is one that has to be fought at home as well. But they highlight the challenge; how to find the next group of misfits, who have no background with terrorists, who might get radicalized over the internet, and who go from talking radicalism one day to plotting terror the next?
More from GPS: The danger of our shoot to kill policy
We cannot identify every one of these prospective terrorists no matter how well we do. However, people in law enforcement agencies across the United States will tell you that the best intelligence about potential terrorists comes from their communities, which often means in these times, Muslim communities. So we need eyes on the ground, friendly relations with imams and other leaders, and outreach to all parts of the communities. We might take a cue here from Europe. Historically, assimilation has worked better in America, but as I wrote recently, European countries are dealing with a much more complex, larger problem. The lesson from Europe seems to be: Embrace Muslim communities. This may sound too soft, but it is a proven method. In fact, just a few weeks ago, a Canadian plot to attack trains was thwarted with just this sort of intelligence provided by the local Muslim community.
The war on terror began as a grand enterprise involving major war. It seems to have evolved into police work. That is a measure of progress.
And one final point – just some facts. The National Counterterrorism Center released its annual report last June. It showed that attacks worldwide had dropped by 12 percent from 2010 and were down 29 percent from 2007. The Global Terrorism Index, also released last year, systematically ranks countries by levels of terrorist incidents. Over the ten year period it analyzed, 2002-2011, the region least likely to suffer from a terrorist attack was North America. The fact is that the most comprehensive studies show that terrorism was declining in the United States even in 2001 and it dropped even more sharply after 9/11. The historian John Mueller has pointed out that more Americans die in their bathtubs every year than are killed by terrorists.
The emotions generated by terrorist attacks are raw and intense. But it is essential moving forward that we are still able to have a rational discussion, grounded in facts, if we are to have any chance of keeping the country safe in the future.
Terrorism as the concept we have adopted is misleading. "Terrorism" is an act of anger that is based in an ideology and theology and a ligitimit anger towards the west's practice of imperialism and colonialsm. Sounds complicated but it is not. The Europeans know this and although the islamic faith has some indications of hatred, the theology is approachable and most logical to do so gently in order to subside the fear that the Muslims have towards the west. Anger is precipitated by fear and revenge.
The localized terrorist groups scare me more than the international groups because they are able to defeat weak nations and take them over like Mali and as they spread they get a bigger base of power to provide a threatening attack eventually against the US and Europe. Instead of fighting some group named al Quada, if we let the local groups win, we maybe fighting half the Middle East and Africa.
Very well written and thought provoking article. Probably one of the most sensible pieces of journalism I have read on CNN in a long time.
"What is the collateral damage of this expanded use in a country like Pakistan, where anti-Americanism is now at fever pitch? General Stanley McChrystal, who ran hundreds of special missions to kill terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan, has said that if we use our asymmetrical weapons – drones – indiscriminately in foreign countries, we should not be surprised if people start responding using their own asymmetrical weapon (the suicide bombers) indiscriminately in our country."
Very good point made there.
And also I totally agree with embracing the Muslim communities here in America. I hope people eventually realize that the vast majority of Muslims are extremely opposed to violence. Just because a couple people get radicalized does not mean they all are. The best way of spotting those that have been corrupted is by firmly connecting with the Muslim community rather than alienating them.
What provocation is there to speak up when the people you are addressing hate you for no legitimate reason?
Mark, why don't you take a history class on Islam? Note that in every society where Islam is a visitor, it always create its own clave based on religious, social and ideology compartment. Mark can you ask Fareed to take a few Christian group to any muslim country and ask the host community to embrace their visitors in term of practice and faith? If Fareed can't do that, then he has no right to force on our freedom to embrace Islamic culture when they can't embrace ours in their land.
we should think of longterm solutions with this kind of problem. you have homicide division, why not make an anti-terrorism division in each police precinct in each city or municipality. you have veterans from EOD in where ever war who just retired and some from CIA operatives analyst or even Homeland Security personnel from tasks force to a more permanent one. Advance Response to Terrorism a very wired division from the national who is focused in monitoring controlled materials, substance in making explosives. tracking people who has statements in the internet who can be read by pscho specialist as a threat. yeah some of the human rights might be violated. but human rights vs saving hundreds of human lives? human limbs, arms,? Children? you?
He had to bring up death and bath tubs didn't he? Next thing we'll have te BSA (Bathtub Security Administration) monitoring our bathing and showering..........
It an interesting take, but the numbers are a wee bit short methinks?,So often we fail to look, and as such, fail to "see" the real driver behind almost all of these criminal acts, it is to Deflect attention!,.. direct it at a chosen! course, so behind the scenes in secret, other criminal acts can either grow, or even operate, and its always! about the money$$,..for that? we look to Orginised Crime Global,..Their most favored operations use the "smoke and mirror" tactic in virtually every operation.Deflect law enforcements attention and resources! away from the real agenda by setting up,then throwing, others "under the bus".We, All of us!! have a real need to learn to look behind the perps in view,winkle out the data, and then coordinate that! with real time enforcement global, and then, perhaps, we might? get a real handle on all these "plays" by crimland,perhaps?..It is not often who we think, and it is virually never just what we "see" at the get go,True evil is a right clever bugger and it takes some real brains and also OOTB to get a real handle on its! "reality",.. but once we have that, then! we have some tools for good that can and will! be very very! effective indeed!,;"Wherever we find these serious human rights abuses? we will find orginised crime"[ME, 2008],..always!..When we speak about someone who "gets radicilised",?..this does not just happen out of the blue, someone, a "crew" usually, does the "getting",, so,, look to see! and answer the 5,W,s, be brutally honest about what and especially who! you find, think, think some more,, then and only then, react,..An educated "community" is impervious to these manipulations,,the crims need "secret" to operate, remove that? they will crash,,use it!,..
I think if there are any future threat to America's security it will come from within. Home grown terror.
Overall I suspect US immigration laws are too lax, and many undesirables are able to slip through the immigration gaps and lapses. There should have been more stringent screening of migrants from traditional 'foe' nations like Middle East, Pakistan, Chechnya.
The only thing you need to know is just starting we have been fighting this from the foundation of the world its time you get a taste of it.

I read the news report about the writing on the boat wall by the Boston Bomb suspect. I am not surprised at what he wrote. I wrote an earlier article about misdirected youth and his words are a clear example of that sort of misguidance. He allegedly wrote "An attack on one Muslim is an attack on all Muslims". At first glance it sounds like a plausible solidarity statement; however it's a complete twist on words and ethics. The proper statement drawn from his sources for such comment actually says " to kill one person is as if to kill the whole human race". At the inception of what we currently think of as Islam, the term Muslim wasn't sectarian; the word Muslim was used to signify an upright person or person in the natural un-altered state of a pure human. The idea was to return to that natural state by releasing oneself from acquired beliefs and traditions put upon our minds that separated us from our true selves and making us inhuman.
Unfortunately many who live as reactionaries grab ideas and ideologies that fit their reactionary mode and twist noble words and intents to suit a misguided agenda. It's a global problem which cannot be fixed by bombs and counter terrorist agencies. The militancy is fuelled by systemic economic repression and lack of inclusive democracies and must be countered by a stated vision of inclusion which is seen as a real and felt as a movement throughout the world.

POTSDAM The village Police Department has been cracking down on drivers who fail to stop at crosswalks to safeguard pedestrians and soon will expand its efforts to protect bicyclists and skateboarders.
The department has issued 30 tickets since Aug. 1 to drivers failing to yield the right of way to pedestrians in a crosswalk as part of an awareness campaign that began when residents complained about unsafe village crosswalks.
The primary focus was on a crosswalk across the middle of Main Street, next to the Roxy movie theater, which residents noted as being particularly dangerous.
Drivers are required by law to stop at a crosswalk if pedestrians are attempting to cross. Police began by warning drivers seen violating these rules in July, then stepped up to ticketing in August.
There have been a large number of tickets issued for failure to stop for pedestrians, Police Chief Kevin A. Bates said.
Now, police are looking at stepping up efforts to increase bicycle safety as well. This is twofold: making sure motorists know how to behave around bicycles and making sure bicyclists know to obey the rules of the road.
Bicyclists have rules, the same as drivers and pedestrians do, Mr. Bates said.
Police will start issuing warnings to bicyclists who are seen violating the law by riding on sidewalks or ignoring traffic regulations. Most of the same rules apply to skateboarders, who are part of the campaign as well.
Once the warning period has ended, police will step up enforcement, ticketing bicyclists, skateboarders and motorists as needed.
I think a public awareness campaign is the biggest way to do this, Mr. Bates said.
Part of the villages 10-year comprehensive plan, which likely will be adopted before the end of 2012, calls for streets to become more accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists. So far, the village has only one bike lane, on Clarkson Avenue, but that may change in the years to come. By focusing on safety now, Mr. Bates said, residents will be better prepared for any changes.
While police are able to enforce laws and regulations, it is even more important that people merely remain aware, according to Mr. Bates.
The biggest thing is to let common sense prevail, he said. Everybody should be looking out for everybody else.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- An eye exam saves a local man from a very deadly condition involving a sunken brain.
Zen McManus underwent a routine eye exam to get new contacts for traveling, little did he know that he was close to losing his life.
David Fissel, OD ofEye Central in Capitol Hill says, "When I was looking at his eye, I looked at the optic nerve and I saw a little spot where it looked like a small little hemorrhage."
Zen told Dr. Fissel that he was suffering from headaches, this gave him trouble sleeping.
Zen was immediately sent to a specialist. The hemorrhage turned out to be a condition called papilledema. This is the swelling of the optic nerve along with excess fluid in the brain. Zen underwent emergency surgery soon after.
Zen says, "That pressure ws actually causing these waves of intense pain on my head because the brain was being pushed down to the base of my skull. I didn't even know how bad it was because eventually you get into a coma and then you die."
Zen's story is a dramatic example of how eye exams can reveal far more than changes in vision. Opthalmologists says the eyes act as a direct window into your health.
Robert A Copeland Jr. MD, Chair of the Opthalmology Department atHoward University Hospital says, "When you get behind the lens you can have inflammatory processes, you can have infectious processes, you can have tumors."
Many other problems are detected within the body with eye exams.
Dr. Fissel aprovider for VSPsays, "I've detected colon cancer, septicemia, melanomas, many times high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure."

McManus says, "I didn't know that my doctor can actually see that when he just shines a light in my eye, that's all he did. I'm thankful for that because he saved my life."

CLEVELAND -- A judge has sentenced the leader of a breakaway Amish sect to 15 years in prison in connection with a series of violent home invasions in which the beards and hair of fellow Amish were brutally cut off.
Prior to sentencing, U.S. District Judge Daniel Polster saidof Samuel Mullet Sr., "You deserve the longest and harshest sentence...you ran the Bergholz community with an iron hand....sadly, I consider youa danger to the community.....I think a sentence of life in prison is longer than necessary so I am imposing a sentence of 15 years."
Mullet's attorney had described in court that a sentence of 15 years would effectively be a life sentence for the 67-year-old.
The remainder of the 15 defendants -- all members of Mullet's extended family -- were sentenced to between 1 and 7 years in prison for their role in the attacks.
Polster deferred the prison sentences for some of the female Amish defendants until their husbands complete their prison terms. "I am trying to minimize the number of children who would have no supervision," he said.
Polster did not impose any fines on the defendants. All 16 have the right to appeal their sentences.
In a news conference following the sentencing, U.S. Attorney Steve Dettelbach welcomed the sentences and noted that Polsterchose to give every single defendant time behind bars.
"It properly sends the message that religious freedom is one of the most important freedoms we possess in this nation and those that trample on others' religious freedom trample our Constitution," said Dettelbach.
Dettelbach praised the judge for recognizing the attacks for what they were...."Hate filled acts designed to terrorize our community."
Holmes County Prosecutor Steve Knowling saidthe sentences will bring a sense of relief to the Amish community there which had lived in fear of Mullet and his Bergholz clan.
He referred to Mullet and his family and their actions as "religous thugs, religious terrorism. It's nothing less, nothing more."
Here are the sentences for the other defendants:
- Johnny Mullet: 7 years
- Daniel Mullet: 5 years
- Lester Mullet: 5 years
- Levi Miller: 7 years
- Eli Miller: 7 years
- Emanuel Schrock: 5 years
- Lester Miller: 7 years
- Raymond Miller: 2 years
- Freeman Burkholder: 1 year +1 day
- Anna Miller: 1 year +1 day
- Linda Schrock: 2 years
- Lovina Miller: 1 year +1 day
- Emma Miller: 1 year +1 day
- Elizabeth Miller: 1 year +1 day
- Kathryn Miller: 1 year +1 day
The sentencing came after more than four hours in court, during which the Assistant U.S. Attorneys and the defendants had the chance to address the court.
Samuel Mullet Sr. asked the court to give him the sentences for the rest of his family so that they could be allowed to return to their farms and raise their children.
His sons echoed his sentiment and asked the judge that they be allowed to serve the time for Mullet Sr.
When asked about that, U.S. Attorney Dettelbach said, "It's just proof of what we said all along.Mr. Mullet is a cult leader.Mr. Mullet is a thug. Mr. Mullet is a bully.And Mr. Mullet belongs where criminals belong -- in federal prison."
On Sept. 20, 2012, a jury in Cleveland convicted all 16 defendants in a federal hate crimes trial. After a three-week trial, the jury reached its decision after deliberating just over 32 hours over five days.
The 16 members of the "Bergholz clan" were all convicted of conspiracy for participating in some manner in the attacks, which was compared to animals being shorn.
Hair and beards have enormous religious symbolism for the Amish.
Because there are no cameras allowed in federal court, below is a look at the running excerpts from what was said in court by Assistant U.S. attorneys, defense counsels and the defendants prior to today's sentencing.
1:15 p.m.: U.S. District Judge Daniel Polster: "Now, it's my turn."
1:12 p.m.: U.S. Attorney Bridget Brennan continues: "....the attacks didn't stop when (others) were arrested, they stopped when Sam Mullet was arrested Nov. 23, 2011....these attacks were never just about hair, they were about religion....the arrests on Nov. 23, 2011 of the other three men, in those arrests, they did not comply with law enforcement, they barricaded themselves in the Schrock house and had to be extricated....."
1 p.m.: Assistant U.S. Attorney Bridget M. Brennan in rebuttal: "This case is really about home invasions, rousting them out of their beds, rousting them out of their home...they were carefully laid plans, every single time to strike fear into the hearts of the entire Amish community in Bergholz and across the country...it doesn't matter where you live...everybody in this country has to abide by the laws...and not lie to the FBI...even Sam Mullet...the proven liar in this case is Sam Mullet...we have tried very carefully to craft a range of culpability...and at the same time, promore respect for the law...they are convicted kidnappers...all these defendants went to trial...there is only one defendant who doesn't deserve a sentence lower than the (maximum)...the life term (for him) is consistent with the statue and guidelines..."

Freeman Burkholder (his wife Nancy is expecting their ninth child): "I don't have much to say...I didn't realize this was going to be like this, sorry for any grief that we have caused. I won't do it again."
11:41 a.m.: Emanuel Schrock: "I guess I don't know what to say....I am the only son-in-law of Samuel Mullet and I think it's unfair that he has to be punished for what I did so I would like to take his sentence...and my wife's sentence, I would like you to give me her sentence too....."........(He is married to Linda Schrock, Samuel Mullet's daughter)
Lester Miller speaks: "First of all, I'd like to apologize to my parents...I didn't want to hurt you, I just wanted to help you.....I have 11 children at home, my youngest daughter is not yet 2...have mercy on my wife, put her sentence on me...as for Sam Mullet, I would consider it an honor of I could serve some of his sentence...that's all I have to say."
Raymond Miller speaks: "I guess I also didn't realize the seriousness and I'd like to apologize and also to my parents...my wife is also indicted...I would gladly carry her sentence..she would not have been there if it had not been for me..."
11:27 a.m.: Eli Miller speaks...."I don't know what I can say...I'm scared...never dreamed it would end up like this...it will never happen again...talked to my lawyer, talked to other inmates, they told me you were a good sentencing judge, my wife's sittin' over there...if you could give me her sentence, so she can go home with the children, I would appreciate it...I'm sorry for what I did..."
11:21 a.m.: Lester Mullet, 38, is married and they have four young sons....Lester was arrested Nov. 23, 2011....he is Samuel Mullet Sr.'s youngest son...
Lester speaks: "(crying) I don't know what to tell you...it will never happen again...if you want to give them time, put it on me....my dreams are all undone...."
Levi Miller, 55, has been incarcerated for 14 months (his attorney is Neal Atway) Atway says Levi just wants to be with his children and grandchildren.
Levi Miller speaks: "(crying) I've known him (Sam Mullet) for 25 years....Sam Mullet comes up with the decisions but he doesn't make it by himself...I'm sorry....."
Levi Miller: "...I don't know what to say as opposed to...Sam Mullet, first time I ever met him, he read off that's he's a man that lives...we had talked back and forth. "The Bergholz Cult" That's a lie. He comes up with the decisions, but he doesn't make it all by himself. All the church members, we I have no intention to ever cut hair again, I'm sorry."

10:33 a.m: Samuell Mullet Sr. is now speaking on his own behalf..."I am being blamed for being a cult leader....I am not going to be here much longer...my goal in life is to help the younger people...if somebody needs to be punished, I'll take the punishment for everybody....let these mothers and fathers go home to their children"
"I'm not taking the farm with me. I'm not going to be here much longer. My goal in life has been to help people that are the underdog, to help people who are frowned on, mocked....."
"Let these dads and moms go home to their families, raise their children, I'll take the punishment for everybody. There's a lot more things I could say, but everything I say is twisted and turned."
10:30 a.m.: Bryan has now spoken for 40 minutes and has concluded...he wants a sentence "sufficient but not greater than necessary..." and that does not mean a life sentence....

Here's the cover of a new, special Inazuma Eleven manga, with Hino on the cover. Hino, in dreamboat manga form, that is.
The title of this manga is The Story of Inazuma Eleven's Birth, and it also features Professor Layton, among other Hino creations.

Though there are many ways to freshen up our winter wardrobes, we are particularly excited about one of the season's most accessible transitional pieces: the printed blazer. Adored by stylish ladies like Margherita Missoni and Whitney Port, these high-impact jackets are festooned with everything from elegant floral patterns to cool graphic designs. This must-have essential instantly elevates any cold-weather ensemble-you can use one to punch up an after-hours outfit or give your nine-to-five mix a modern update-and still looks chic come spring and summer! Versatile and with sartorial longevity in spades, it's no wonder why we're spotlighting the printed blazer in today's Trend Report.
While the designer references for today's sartorial report are vast, there are two Resort 12 collections that illustrate it perfectly: Celine and Balmain. For the former, designer Phoebe Philo showed a vibrant, oversized floral-print blazer-specifically the Fantasy Jacquard Fitted Jacket-paired with the Logo Crew Neck Mens Fit T Shirt ($405, 304.866.1888) in White and the Silk Crepe Cady Double Pleat Wide Pants also in white. The outerwear's vibrant print not only livens up the solid-colored separates, but its tailored shape perfectly balances the relaxed, loose-fit trousers and casual t-shirt. Over at Balmain, new designer Olivier Rousteing kept with the French fashion house's famed rock 'n' roll spirit by teaming a cropped, eagle-print Printed Jacket ($6200) with matching Printed Shorts ($1800), the Bull's Head Buckle Two-Tone Leather Belt ($1020), and cap-toe suede boots (the Suede Swarovski Crystal and Studs Boots ($2271) are a similarly embellished style) for a cool, tough-girl take on the trend.
In addition to the aforementioned designer examples, it's also worth noting that we've spotted a few well-dressed ladies working some knockout blazers into their daily mix, and the results are equally on-point! As Whitney Port and DJ/eco designer Hannah Bronfman so aptly demonstrate, printed blazers are an excellent way to punch up your after-hours ensembles. Port looked party perfect at a Crest holiday soiree in New York this past November when she upgraded her strapless WE by Whitney Eve dress (a piece that is sadly no longer available) with a blush pink, floral-print Zimmermann Speakeasy Jacket ($650, 310.285.9680). We love how the silk outerwear accentuates the dressiness of the designer's outfit, while offering the look a truly memorable finish. A few days later, at a release party for photographer Raphael Mazzucco's new book Culo in Miami, Bronfman showed off her playful sensibilities when she gave her sky blue mini dress an intriguing, artsy twist via a silky graphic spaceship-print jacket.
While printed blazers offer a foolproof way to amp up your more understated pieces, daring dressers will certainly appreciate Margherita Missoni's bold styling choice too! The Italian heiress/designer/master of prints pleased onlookers at Zac Posen's S/S 12 show with her fashion-forward mix, which consisted of a spotted Alexander McQueen navy and white blazer, Alaia flower-print top, and of-the-moment Chanel houndstooth skirt. The combination of patterns makes for one high-voltage outfit, don't you agree?
Now that you're up to speed on how both designers and tastemakers are addressing printed blazers, we'd like to help you invest in a couple of must-have options. When it comes to ultra-chic and bold botanical styles, we're crazy for Zara's multi-colored Floral Print Blazer ($129) and ASOS' Blazer ($118) in Floral Print, as well as River Island's ladylike White Floral Print Blazer ($54)! If it's a wild animal print you're after, we recommend picking up Topshop's Metallic Animal Print Blazer ($130)-the grayish hue tempers the playful pattern, making it a chic choice for the office-or Tibi's Cheetah Print Blazer ($420). We're also smitten with Topshop's Black Star Print Blazer ($130), which looks like it came straight from Dolce & Gabbana, but for a fraction of the price. Finally, for those of you who'd like to invest in a designer version, Thakoon's Chevron Print Blazer ($1450) is quite stunning and will take you well through the summer months. As for how to wear each of these pieces, be sure to let today's featured looks be your guide!-Jessica Baker

Media coverage of the 2008 presidential election identifies immigration as a key issue for the United States electorate -- even though, according to most polling, it does not rank as a top priority for voters.
CNN's Republican debate on November 28 opened with a full 35 minutes devoted to it. Washington Post columnist David Broder recently referred to "illegal immigration" as one of two major "icebergs ahead for the Democrats" in the upcoming presidential race (ex-President Bill Clinton icing the other one).
Columnist and CBS correspondent, Gloria Borger, declared immigration a "killer issue," and that Democratic candidates "had better get started" on a solution: "Independent voters are unhappy that nothing has been done on the matter, and anyone who wants to be president needs to keep independent voters happy. Borger approvingly quoted Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg who thinks the time has come for a "welfare moment" -- an allusion to Bill Clinton's pledge to "reform" welfare in1992.
NPR decided to make immigration one of the three issues of concern of its December 4 Democratic presidential debate. (Iran/Iraq policy and China were the other categories.) The following day's New York Times report on the debate was headlined (in the print edition) "Immigration, a Relentless Issue, Confronts Democrats in an Iowa Debate." The paper alleged that the issue of immigration is "a topic looming large both in the Iowa caucuses next month and in the general election."
But that's not what voters have been saying.
The Iraq War still tops the list of priority issues for both Democrats Republicans- "It's raised twice as often as the next-ranking issue, the economy," according to a recent USA Today/Gallup poll.
Another recent poll (L.A. Times/Bloomberg) found only 15 percent of Americans ranking immigration as one of the top three issues of concern to them. In fact, noted L.A. Times columnist Tim Rutten "more than nine out of 10 Americans think something matters more than immigration in this presidential election.
Even when the question is posed in terms of "illegal immigrants," a politically loaded phrase, public opinion on undocumented workers is, as it is on most political issues, quite mixed. But "a strong bipartisan majority, 60 percent, favors allowing illegal immigrants who have not committed crimes to become citizens if they pay fines, learn English and meet other requirements," according to the most recent L.A. Times/Bloomberg poll.
Thus the polling data suggests that immigration is not at all the "relentless issue the New York Times makes it out to be. If anything can he described as relentless about the issue of immigration, it's the way it has been pushed by the media. . .
CNN's Lou Dobbs, who has a record of touting inaccurate xenophobic claims and promoting white supremacists on air, led into CNN's Republican debate by calling immigration advocates "misguided abject fools" who are "working to subvert the will of the majority of the people of this country." Given the clear disdain U.S. media are showing for Americans' priorities for the upcoming election, one would think it was not the U.S. electorate but Dobbs himself whose vote was going to determine the 2008 presidential vote.
Of course time spent talking about immigration -- which appeals to more conservative voters--is time not spent talking about, say, the economy or the Iraq War. This could very well be smart politics for Republican presidential candidates; as GOP. pollster Whit Ayres put it "anything that pushes Iraq farther down the agenda is good news for Republicans." But the media shouldn't mistake GOP campaign priorities the evidence of a shift in the public's priorities.

Man Crush: THE STING
|George Roy Hill
|Paul Newman, Robert Redford & Robert Shaw
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up. No one under 18 admitted.
|More Info
Thus far, Man Crush has celebrated men with great abs, flowing locks and sensitive souls. Now, we're kicking it old school with THE STING, featuring not one but two of the most handsome legends of the silver screen.
In this 1973 film, winner of seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, Paul Newman and Robert Redford play grifters determined to pull off the ultimate con in 1936 Chicago. It's a comedic, high stakes caper, jumping with intense poker games, assassins, FBI hunts and, of course, beautiful women. With a rollicking ragtime soundtrack and charming vintage style, this movie is an absolute pleasure, and Redford and Newman elevate it to dazzling levels.
It comes as no surprise that these men are such convincing con artists, because after one look at Paul Newman's devilish blue eyes and Robert Redford's cocky grin, we're all suckers. Director George Roy Hill defied several laws of physics in order to pack so much foxy masculinity into one movie, and no matter how the sting goes, the audience is guaranteed to get lucky.

Underneath Paris is a parallel universe of tunnels, caverns, bones—and party venues. Will Hunt spends a few days and nights down there with a band of urban explorers
From INTELLIGENT LIFE magazine, November/December 2012
SOME YEARS AGO, I sat on a stone-cut bench in a dark chamber in the catacombs of Paris wearing a headlamp and muddied boots, and listened to the strange story of Félix Nadar, the first man to photograph the underground of Paris. In 1861, Nadar invented a battery-operated flash lamp, one of the first artificial lights in the history of photography, and promptly brought his camera into Paris's sewers and catacombs. Over three months, Nadar—41, moustachioed, with unruly red hair—shot in the darkness beneath the streets. He used 18-minute exposures and, as models, wooden mannequins dressed in the garb of city workers. On the surface, the images of dim, claustrophobic passageways created a stir. Parisians had heard of the vast subterranean networks underlying their streets and Nadar brought this dark lattice to light. The pictures opened up Paris's relationship to its subterranean spaces—catacombs and crypts, sewers and canals, reservoirs and utility tunnels—a connection which, over the years, has grown deeper and more peculiar than in any other city.
Now, a century and a half behind Nadar, I am back in Paris with a group of urban explorers. Our aim is to examine the city's connection to its underground in a way no one has before: we will attempt to walk from the southern edge to the northern, using only catacombs, telecom tunnels, sewers and other hidden infrastructure. It is a 14-mile trek, every step illegal. The six of us—five Americans and an Australian—are prepared for a two- or three-day journey, with nights sleeping in the bowels of Paris. We have packed food, sleeping bags, an arsenal of flashlights and headlamps, and gas meters to alert us to any poisonous fumes in the sewers. It will be urban troglodytism, a walkabout in the wilderness under the city.
JUST AFTER 9pm on Tuesday, as twilight falls, we stand in a derelict train tunnel to the south of the city. Steve Duncan, the leader of the expedition, crouches by what will be our entrance into the catacombs, a craggy hole in the wall encircled with graffiti. Steve, 33, is a photographer and urban historian from New York. He has explored and photographed the undersides of cities around the world: the sewers of London, the underground rivers of Moscow, the cisterns of Naples. After each expedition, he has returned to New York to lecture on his findings. Like Nadar, he illuminates the hidden anatomy of cities, changing the way urbanites think about their environment. He stands up, flicks the braces on his chest-high waders, switches on his headlamp and grins: "Everyone ready?"
One by one, we slip into the catacombs, unsure when we'll see the surface again. The tunnel we drop into is rough-hewn and low-ceilinged. We duckwalk, backpacks scraping against the rock, the beams of our flashlights dancing on the walls and cold clear water sloshing around our feet. When we pause, there is silence, the sound of cars on the street blotted out: we are inside Paris, yet utterly removed from it.
Parisians say their city, with all of its perforations, is like a wedge of Gruyère cheese and nowhere is so holey as the catacombs. They are a vast, earthy labyrinth, 320km (200 miles) of tunnels, mainly on the Left Bank of the Seine. Some of the tunnels are flooded, half-collapsed, riddled with sinkholes, others are finished with neatly mortared brick, spiral staircases and elegant archways. These were the quarries that supplied the limestone blocks that make up the grand buildings along the Seine, 18 metres (60 feet) above our heads. The oldest had been carved to construct the Roman city of Lutetia, traces of which can still be found in the city's Latin Quarter. Over the centuries, as the city expanded, quarrymen brought more limestone to the surface, and the underground warren spread like the roots of a great tree.
When Nadar first dropped into the catacombs with his camera, the tunnels were largely empty. He might have encountered the occasional mushroom farmer, or perhaps the Inspection des Carrières, the workers who prevented the tunnels from collapsing under the weight of the city—otherwise, in those days, no one. Today, the quarries teem with activity. Walls are covered in riots of graffiti, chambers gilded with carvings and murals. This is the work of cataphiles, a loose tribe of young, bohemian Parisians who spend days and nights in the catacombs. They throw parties, stage performances, make art, explore the limits of the system. Entering the catacombs is illegal and the police employ a special squadron—catacops—to patrol the network. But they deter no one. The tunnels are like a big secret clubhouse.
We've been underground for about two hours when Moe Gates, the team's map-bearer, leads us into a passageway so tight we have to squirm through like worms. We emerge into a large chamber with walls covered in murals. Some of the paint still smells fresh. The floor is littered with half-melted candles and the debris of parties past: beer cans, cigarette butts, bottles of Jack Daniel's. There are tables and chairs cut from the rock, a crescent-shaped bench. Along one wall is a painting which turns out to be a version of Hokusai's "Great Wave off Kanagawa". The chamber is called La Plage, and is a central haunt of cataphiles.
Just as visitors to the surface of Paris follow a sight-seeing itinerary—Sacré Coeur, Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower—so do visitors to its underside. Wandering through the alcoves connected to La Plage, we visit a room with a Norman castle and rock-hewn gargoyles, a room heaped with silk flowers, a room lined with paintings of film characters. We encounter four separate groups of cataphiles. On a weekend night, La Plage is as crowded as most Parisian bars.
The cataphiles, whether or not they know it, are essential to our expedition. The painstaking map we use to navigate the quarries, acquired years ago by Steve and Moe, was compiled by elders of the tribe. Other cataphiles over the years have brought power drills and jackhammers underground to gouge small passages in the walls, chatières, which will be vital gateways in our trek northward.
We hike for miles, twisting and ducking, climbing and crawling, jack-knifing our bodies in ways most people never do. We go through passageways as tight as sphincters, into chambers as big as ballrooms. The tunnels are marked with Paris's signature blue ceramic signs, the names corresponding to the streets above. The walls are slick with condensation and give off steam. It is like being inside the intricately folded tissues of a brain. It is a place of palimpsests—layers of graffiti tags from the spraycans of young cataphiles, black streaks from the torches of 17th- century quarry diggers, millennia-old fossils of sea creatures embedded in limestone. We peer up manhole shafts so high it is too dark to see the top. We see relics of the wooden braces later quarry inspectors used to shore up the tunnels. At one point, tromping through the darkness, I shine my light upwards to find a giant, black crack in the ceiling. In the 18th century, there were collapses: buildings and horse-drawn carriages and people walking in the street swallowed by the earth. Stonecutters perished in the cave-ins. But the tunnels today are secure and we do not fear entombment. The catacombs are the least treacherous leg of our journey.

With the rise of mobile traffic, more sophisticated tools for marketers, and the decrease in organic reach, advertising on social media has changed drastically in the past year. Gone are the days measuring campaign performance on the number of fans and followers.

I'm on the fence about whether or not this one is in fact better than the official launch trailer, though. It steals some nice close-up scenes from the official trailer, but I might prefer the fan-made trailer's music. It certainly touches on a different emotion.

Case Western Reserve University is a community dependent upon trust and respect for its constituent members: students, faculty, staff and those under temporary contract. Sexual assault is a violation of that trust and respect, and will not be tolerated. Sexual assault is a serious crime that can occur to men and women, whether gay, straight, transgender or bisexual.
Sexual assault is a growing problem on college campuses nationwide. Women ages 16 to 24 experience rape at four times the rate of assault for all women. College women are more at risk for rape and other forms of sexual assault than women the same age but not in college. Ninety percent of college women who are raped are raped by someone they know. Survey data suggest that up to 10 percent of acquaintance rape victims on campus are men.
Case is an urban campus, and crime is a fact of life in a big city. And while most students will be neither a victim nor a perpetrator of sexual assault during their stay here, they may know someone who is.
What is sexual assault? How much do you know about it? For more information, read our updated Sexual Assault policy.
