Product OverviewIn the not-so-distant future, a worldwide epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants...for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession...and hunted by the Repo man!

Editors Note
|Begun in 2002 as a Los Angeles stage production by writers Darren Smith and Terrence Zdunich, REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA was designed as a gory, comedic Grand Guignol to appeal more to club goers than fans of musical theater. One fan, aspiring director Darren Lynn Bousman, who has since worked on the SAW franchise, vowed to one day direct a film version of the show. Six years (and five SAW films) later, he has made good on his promise with a bizarre, gory, and unique piece of work that is as sure to entertain as it is to polarize its audience. In the year 2056, following an epidemic of human organ failure, the GeneCo Corporation--owned by the mafia-like Largo family--grows and installs new organs on a massive scale. The business, though, necessitates the employment of repo men to reclaim the organs from clients who miss their payments. Repo man and single father Nathan Wallace (Anthony Head, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) keeps his job a secret from his terminally ill daughter, Shilo (Alexa Vega), doing it only to pay for her costly medication. Nathan also has a secret history with GeneCo patriarch Rotti Largo (Paul Sorvino)---and their connection is about to become public knowledge on the night of a concert from popular singer--and GeneCo client--Blind Mag (Sarah Brightman).^Compellingly strange, REPO! resembles a comic book-influenced goth dinner theater production set within a dystopian video game. Musically, the score concentrates more on libretto-like sung dialogue than memorable tunes (save Vega's pop-punk "Sixteen" and Brightman's chilling "Chromaggia"), but the cast appears to be having a blast. Skinny Puppy's Nivek Ogre lends some underground cred as the most twisted member of the Largo clan, but Brightman gives the comically bloody proceedings true legitimacy. A surprising casting choice, she's an almost regal presence, and her goosebump-inducing soprano soars stratospherically above this fun cult film in-the-making.

|Cult films are best when they sneak up on the fringe audience, battling failure and disgrace to become something special, appreciated by a select few willing to cherish imperfection. "Repo! The Genetic Opera" is a motion picture that thirsts for alternative acceptance, positioning itself as a juicy piece of unlovable gothic muck that's guaranteed to turn off mainstream audiences, thus assuring it life beyond the normal distribution timetable. "Repo!" is horrifically calculated to appeal to outsider mentality, but it clicks together rather marvelously, riding an offbeat sense of the macabre to peculiar, yet quite interesting results...As much as "Repo!" impressed me, it's far from a perfect creation. Bousman's narrow depth of field reveals the production's limitations with a cringing severity, underlining actors trying much too hard to indicate and special effects that aren't very special. Also of irritation is Moseley, a fine genre actor who is miles out of his range when it comes to singing and dancing. His few moments onscreen are brutal to endure and break the spell "Repo!" is sweating hard to cast. After hearing Moseley's wounded pipes and watching his rigor mortis footwork, I think the world owes a heartfelt apology to Pierce Brosnan...The finale of "Repo!" lives up to its blown-out opera origins by serving up a volcanic display of tragedy and exaggerated sweep of fury. The film looks to close on a dramatically profound note, yet the entire picture feels caught up in a certain level of hysteria, leaving the last act push to gothic justice somewhat redundant. Still, "Repo! The Genetic Opera" lingers long after it ends, due in great part to a handful of memorable tunes and its persistent funky attitude, marked by an impressive desire to savor oddity and unconventional displays of heartache.

|USA Today
|The biggest mystery about Repo! The Genetic Opera is why the grisly Goth-horror musical is opening the week after Halloween...The second-biggest mystery is why this unfunny, unscary, preposterous bloodbath about organ transplants is opening at all. And why did a serious singer like Sarah Brightman sign on and donate her pipes to this infernal, self-indulgent misfire?...Director Darren Lynn Bousman must have hoped to make a cult favorite along the lines of Rocky Horror Picture Show. And since he directed Saw II, III and IV, perhaps out of professional courtesy he didn't want to open on the same day as the most recent installment of the franchise. But such a macabre affair would seem to have a short shelf life...It's 2056, and an epidemic of organ failures has made transplants big business. As the operations grow more popular, surgery becomes a status symbol and fashion statement. Only the coolest people sport designer body parts and organ upgrades. Rotti Largo (Paul Sorvino), the malevolent head of GeneCo., offers easy financing. But miss one payment and the Repo Man (Anthony Stewart Head) comes a-calling, knife in hand...Paris Hilton plays a surgery addict, adding a bizarre glam factor. With forgettable tunes, from generic power pop to overbearing heavy metal, Repo! makes hackneyed observations about genetic engineering...Photographed in a murky style ostensibly to feel futuristic, the movie is a convoluted mess, rife with sado-masochism. As if that weren't enough, viewers must slog through a sappy conclusion, accosted by some of the most banal songs imaginable...Repo! might have been an SNL or MADtv skit, but as a movie, it should be repossessed by its financiers.

This body butter smells so good you want to eat it! But, it seems like it's too thick to me because it doesn't spread well. Most body butters are very slick and creamy, but this is very hard to move around on the body. If you heat up your hands by rubbing them together really fast with the product on your palms, it helps, but does not feel like a typical body butter. It's almost like trying to spread caramel over your body, but the smell is absolute heaven! I would buy again simply for the scent!

The texture is ok, but this smells like budget bathroom cleaner! The smell is super strong and has absolutely nothing to do with green tea, shea butter or olive oil. It's more like pine and some kind of gaggy, synthetic floral scent. If you want to smell like a cheap toilet freshner, this is the product for you.

I live in a very dry climate and my face loves this shea butter. I tried it thinking it would be too heavy but I was wrong. I sound like a cheesy commercial, but my husband commented on how pretty my face looked "lately" after about 10 days of using this.

This cream lasts longer than the one infused with coconut and papaya, which I nowdays use. Both creams are though among the best facial creams I have tried.

game transfer to ps vita.
hey...hope somebody can help me out i downloaded a few games on my ps3 to put on my vita cause i was going on vacation. super gouls and ghosts downloaded fine. but the other two games wont download...guerrila war and tetris mini. guerrilla war only lets me play on ps3 but tetris doesnt work at all and i deleted it and redownloaded it and the same thing. when i try to download it on my vita the vita cant even read it it only gets gouls and ghosts. can anybody help me?
Re: game transfer to ps vita.
Not all Minis can be installed on the Vita. Only Minis that have been tested and certified compatible with the Vita can be installed on the console. Some of them have been, but a lot of them haven't been; and some probably won't ever be. Basically, if the game is in the Playstation Store on the Vita, then you can transfer it to the Vita from a PS3. If you can't find the game in the Vita Playstation Store, then the Content Manager won't allow you to install it from a PS3 either. PS1 Classics are currently an exception, but probably not for long.
Re: game transfer to ps vita.
i was able to transfer mgs digital graphics novel to my vita and its not in the vita store. so really i dont know... they should really make a list of games that truely dont work on the vita. and i got the mgs dgn in a bundle with mpo and mpo+ but those games i cant transfer? this annoys me and this region locking bs is...bs. they need to have those games on the vita... cuz my psp is going caput and my analog stick is sketchy. so i either need to shell out more money for a new psp or wait til they fix this. hopefully the latter.
Re: game transfer to ps vita.
The only way to create a list of all of the PSP games that don't work on the Vita would be to play-test every PSP game, PSP Mini, and PS1 Classic ever released; at least once on the Vita. That would cost millions of dollars, and Sony isn't going to pay for that; except for its own games. The game publishers have to pay for that testing, and most of them don't want to incur that expense for games that few people would probably buy anyway. It sounds simple to do, but it isn't simple at all. You can't just magically know what games run correctly on a software emulator. You have to test each of the games. Testing is labor intensive, and therefore expensive.
Re: game transfer to ps vita.
Hi guys,
Yesterday, I tried transferring PSOne Classics already downloaded on my PS3 to my Vita via my PS3 and it didn't work. But, I went to the PS Store on my vita and was able to download the games (Resident Evil 1-2 & 3) again directly on my Vita. They got installed and everything works just fine and didn't have to pay again for them (figures). Guess it's easier to do this way instead of transferring.
One question for all of you though: Is there a way to blow up the image so it fills up the entire Vita screen? If not, maybe Sony could or should think about including that kind of feature in an upcoming system update....
Re: game transfer to ps vita.
The Resident Evil games were just added to the list of Vita Certified PS1 Classics on Tuesday. If you delete them from your PS3, and then download them from the Playstation Store again; then they would transfer to the Vita.
You can make PS1 Classics display full screen. Bring up the emulator settings menu by holding your finger on part of the game screen as it is displayed now. When the menu appears, select "Other Settings", "Screen Mode", and "Full".
Re: game transfer to ps vita.
Hey, thanks a lot GKP for the quick answer!!! Is it just me or this is something the vast majority of players are not aware of? because I sincerely never thought about holding the game screen to make that menu to pop up....
Anyways, thanks again, I will be enjoying those games one more time!
Re: game transfer to ps vita.
Holding a finger on the screen replaces the PS button on the PSP for all PSP games on the Vita, including PS1 Classics. The manual mentions that for PSP games, but it is only one short sentence, and isn't clearly explained. For PS1 Classics there is an additional "gotcha" in that if you hold a part of the screen that the game isn't using because of the screen mode, the menu doesn't appear. That isn't mentioned in the manual at all.
Re: game transfer to ps vita.
You know, since the Vita is my first PlayStation portable system ever, I think I lack some knowledge about some of the features you just mentionned! Thanks for all the info, this is most welcomed!

poem "my name is known to you"

"my name is known to you" by Kathy Galloway
with thanks to Susan Leo for the heads-up
Final Thoughts on Jeremiah 1:4-10
2010-08-21 by Laurie McKnight
I took another look through the August 2004 edition of Lectionary Homiletics, and I found the wonderful sermon by Susan Andrews. She certainly is a gifted speaker and writer; she acknowledges her call from God, and she invites us to acknowledge ours. She says where we tend to be most reluctant, that's where God is most likely calling us. Susan talks about the "threat and the promise of baptism," and she says that "God's call is seldom instantaneous or clear."
I don't need (nor do you want me) to re-say or repeat what's already been so well said. But Susan's sermon caused me to think of God's involvement in our lives. A call from God is not a one-time event; it's an ongoing process. I see my call as saying "the same old thing" (the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus' love, the Good News of what God is doing in our lives) in a new way, to new folks.
We are called to be where we are, doing what we do. We may grumble and whine and complain and ask why, but ultimately, we follow God's call. We go, as Frederick Buechner urges us to (quoted by both Susan Andrews and Tom Tewell in this issue of LH), to where "our deep gladness meets the world's deep hunger." We go, knowing that God is with us, and that God will remain with us as we follow our individual calls. We remember that God has been with us since before our birth, before we were in our mothers' wombs. What an awesome God we serve.
May your preaching be blessed, may your Sabbath be blessed, may your response to your call be both faithful and fruitful, and true. Thanks be to God. Amen.

Happy Friday. Some of us are "off" today; some of us have finished our sermons for Sunday already. Some of us will be starting our sermons tomorrow night. Friday is often the day the sermon "gels" for me, as I marinate on it all week....all the different themes that the scripture readings and any additional research I may have done begin to blend together.
This morning, I'm looking at Lectionary Homiletics Vol. XV, Number 5 (August-September 2004, p.33 ff), and rather than recreate the wheel, I'm relying on some excellent scholarship that has already been done.
We've already mentioned that this is Jeremiah's call story; we've mentioned his reluctance to be called by God (as other prophets were – and are); we mentioned YHWH's commissioning of Jeremiah, by touching his mouth and placing there "the message that he was to impart." LH further indicates that the detailed telling of Jeremiah's call story was important to relate and record: "…it was for those who questioned his credentials and [it was] for him, when he experienced moments of insecurity and ambivalence." God saw all that coming: the reluctance of others to hear/attend to what Jeremiah had to say, and Jeremiah's doubts about his own abilities to be a prophet.
Donald K. McKim writes that Reformed theologians, including John Calvin "…see in these words a sturdy statement of God's election or predestination of Jeremiah, 'from all eternity,' to be one of God's chosen ones…. There is no inherent ability, merit, or righteousness within Jeremiah himself as a person that leads to his selection." We've already discussed the idea of inviting parishioners to share their call stories – how and when (and if) they feel called by God – if they feel chosen – if they feel strengthened, beyond their own abilities, by God's faith in them and by God's touch on their lives.
McKim also reminds us that Jeremiah is talking back to God, dissenting, disagreeing with God. Even if Jeremiah was "only a boy," how or why did he think arguing with God was a good idea? How can you disagree with the one who has known you since before you were born? We could speak with our parishioners about free will – the minds and the spirits God has gifted us with – would God have "taken no" for an answer from Jeremiah? I suspect that's a possibility. When have we said "no" to God? Even when we know what God's call is on our lives, sometimes we still demur.
Jill L. McNish says we often doubt our own abilities to be prophetic, to speak God's word. And yet God often chooses those "…people whom others – by reason of race, or class, or disability, or gender, or age, or sexual orientation, or ethnicity – might be inclined to ignore. How willing are we to hear prophetic words from the mouths of…. 'others'…?" How willing are we to be those mouths, speaking to others – risking persecution, humiliation, separation from our families or our peer groups? We could talk about marginalization in society – where we think we fit in (or don't), which voices we are likely to listen to (or ignore), who we seek to share our own message with – do we share our call stories? Are we eager to tell what God is doing in our lives?
We could talk about arguing with God; we could talk about our fitness to do God's work (or our own judgment of that); we could talk about how we judge others as fit – or not – to do God's work. Can we acknowledge that we all are called? Can we make allowances that sometimes we answer God's call, and sometimes we don't? And sometimes we say, "Not yet" to God – not now, not never, just not yet.
I imagine I will ask my congregation a series of questions (I always do, in every sermon), and I will invite them to think about where in this call story of Jeremiah they find themselves – where they are on the journey of their faith – where they are in complying with God's will for their lives, and in following Jesus, a more recent though maybe less reluctant prophet than Jeremiah. I might sum up with a reminder of a few verses of Psalm 71 – if we follow God's call for our lives (and why wouldn't we – God loves us and wants what's best for us and has known us since our time in the womb), we can be assured of refuge and protection, and we can lead nations and kingdoms, we can build and plant and be part of a new heaven and a new earth.
Thoughts on Wombs
2010-08-19 by Laurie McKnight
Perhaps this is a place that only a woman would naturally go to when linking Psalm 71 and the Jeremiah 1:4-10 passage – and yet we all come into the world after developing in the womb. I enjoyed hearing an old fiery Baptist preacher once actually yelling at his congregation – stirring them up – talking about feminism, and instead of talking about what women didn't have – he lifted up what women did have. He said, "They are men with wombs! They are womb-men!" For me, that was a nice joining of the genders, and put the "addition" or "bonus" of a womb (if you will) in a very positive light.
The psalmist says in 71:6, "Upon you [God] I have leaned from my birth; it was you who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of you." Imagine if God was our midwife, our obstetrician. We already know God as our creator. We know God was present when we came into being, and if we are aware of it, we know we're blessed; we have known God our whole lives long, since before we even had conscious or rational thought.
God says to Jeremiah in 1:5, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." God is reminding Jeremiah of their long-standing relationship, of which Jeremiah seems not to be aware. Jeremiah even as an adult is not remembering his history with God, all the ways God intervened in his life and set him apart as special and called.
The psalmist knows about God, about relationship with God, about praising God. The pericope for this week is only 6 short verses, one-fourth of the entire psalm length of 24 verses. The psalmist builds on this relationship with God in the next 18 verses, reminding God of their mutual admiration society, and invoking God's continued protection (refuge) and blessing through the psalmist's old age. The psalmist starts with the womb and counts on God until the end of days ("even when I am old and gray"), and the psalmist promises to continue in relationship with God, and promises to continue to praising God. Just like our mothers, out of whose wombs we emerge, God always loves us. God remains our caring, heavenly parent throughout our days.
Jeremiah needs the reminder of the long-term relationship. God calls Jeremiah, but Jeremiah needs some persuading. After verse 10 in our pericope, God quizzes Jeremiah, asking some questions and testing some visions. And it turns out well: Jeremiah answers correctly. It turns out Jeremiah has the stuff; he is a prophet after all; God was not wrong! (We know our earthly parents have dreams and visions of what they would like us to be – sometimes we have the gifts/aptitude for their choice for our lives and sometimes we don't. But God, our heavenly parent, seems to "get it right" more often than not. You've heard the maxim: "God doesn't call the equipped; God equips the called.") God can tell that Jeremiah is the one (perhaps God has destined Jeremiah to be the one!), and God promises Jeremiah to continue to be with him, to help him on his journey, to help him with his call. God has promised to be with Jeremiah, to fortify him, to terrify his opponents if necessary, to rescue him if necessary. What a loving parent, who was with us at the beginning of our lives, and who promises to be with us at the end (and through the middle) – perhaps from the shelter of the womb to the shelter of the tomb, and then we bask in life eternal with our Lord.

Thank you to guest blogger Laurie McKnight, and thank you also to Stephen Schuette and Leah Schade for their contributions. The posts are bubbling with helpful insights. Soak it all up.
I'm not sure what way I am going for this sermon. Maybe I will meditate on the idea of honoring the Sabbath and couple that with a first-person narrative in which the bent woman tells her story, or maybe a religious leader can tell his story about feeling threatened by an empowered woman. Hmmm. Bubbling.

Communication Skills and Accounting: Do Perceptions Match Reality?
Ameen, Elsie, Bruns, Sharon M., Jackson, Cynthia, The CPA Journal
A large body of research confirms that accounting professionals and educators believe that communications skills are vital for success in the accounting profession. Over the past few decades, there have been calls for the accounting college curriculum to improve students' communication skills, and many schools have undertaken efforts to address deficient oral or written skills, with varying results. One major issue may be that the profession tends initially to attract students who believe that mathematical or technical skills are most important, including a segment of students who believe that a lack of communication skills will not hinder their progress in the profession.
Surveys of college students in 1998 and again in 2006 were conducted to measure whether accounting majors have a greater fear of oral communication than other business and nonbusiness majors, and whether this situation changed over time. The surveys also measured students' perceptions of the level of communication skills required in 24 professions, including accounting and tax preparation. The results indicate that there is a continuing lack of knowledge among students of the importance of oral and written communication in accounting, but there may be signs that students entering accounting have less apprehension toward communication than in the past.
Are Oral Communications Skills Really Important?
The importance of oral communication in accounting has been confirmed by both academic researchers and practitioners. In a review of eight studies conducted by business and education organizations - from a 1989 Big Eight white paper to a 2003 report by the International Federation of Accountants' Education Committee - skill in communicating was listed as an important proficiency for success in accounting in all eight studies (K. N. Palmer, D. E. Ziegenfuss, and R. E. Pinsker, 'International Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities of Auditors/Accountants: Evidence from Recent Competency Studies," Managerial Auditing Journal, vol. 1, no. 7, 2004).
Another study surveyed recently promoted partners about the skills they found most important in progressing from staff to senior, senior to manager, and manager to partner. Communication skills were rated as either most important or second most important at the first two promotion levels for both audit and tax, most important in achieving partner in audit, and third most important in achieving partner in tax (Cindy Blanthorne, Sak Bhamornsiri, and Robert E. Guinn, "Are Technical Skills Still Important?" The CPA Journal, March 2005). In addition, developments such as the compliance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the move toward International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have increased the need for accountants to communicate the implications of ever more complex issues to the public.
Students' Perceptions
Several studies have investigated student perceptions of the skills needed by accountants. In a 2004 study, researchers examined accounting and nonaccounting majors' impressions of accountants through a survey of 58 different characteristics. The results show that many students perceived accountants as merely number crunchers. Accountants generally were seen as professional but not particularly personable. They were noted as "skilled in math and tax work and attentive to detail, but were not considered particularly admirable, exciting, outgoing, versatile, or strong in leadership capabilities," following the stereotype (Steven C. Hunt, A. Anthony Falgiani, and Robert C. Intrieri, "The Nature and Origin of Students' Perceptions of Accountants," Journal of Education for Business, vol. 79, no. 3, January-February 2004).
A recent study explored the skills students believe are necessary for success in different areas of business. Accounting majors ranked math skills significantly more important for success in the accounting field than either oral communication or writing skills. …

Regarding specs, we're told that a Mobee charged Magic Mouse will last for 6 days under constant use. After that, it requires 6 hours to reach a full charge. Otherwise, the idea here is to park the mouse on its dock when not in use. While the company has considered an inductive charging mouse pad, they opted against it so that people can mouse on the surface of their choice and to keep the whole package portable and inconspicuous. The Magic Charger itself matches the materials, look, and feel of Apple's Magic Mouse perfectly. Oh, and the blue charging light you see above will be green once the product ships worldwide in mid-October for €49.90 (with tax) / $49.90 (before tax). At that price, it offers a 6-8 month break-even for the typical Magic Mouse user relying on disposable batteries. Honestly, the Mobee Magic Charger is an idea so good that it makes you wonder, why didn't Apple think of that?
Expect to see a "few more" Mobee products launch for Apple products before the end of the year and into 2011. While Mobee wouldn't tell us exactly what products are coming, it did admit to looking at Apple's new Track Pad, the iPhone 4 (we expect to see a case), and wireless keyboard. We look forward to it.%Gallery-101245%%Gallery-101248%

I agree the lifeboat is a bit pricey (it is seriously nice, though!). Thier other place, The Old Coach House 1/2 mile down the road is about £10 cheaper. It may be that we arrange our own accomodation to suit our pocket and meet up for the evenings? The other possibility is the Youth Hostel at Wells. It's cheap, Clean and does breakfast.
I'll keep looking

Penn-Trafford fix closer to reality
With the completion this summer of topographic and aerial mapping at Penn-Trafford High School, the 41-year-old school is another step closer to the beginning of an expected $32 million renovation.
School board members on Monday unanimously approved a $10,700 cost for Morris Knowles and Associates' mapping work, which occurred in June.
"(It's an) overview of the facilities and the lay of the ground," school board president P. Jay Tray said about the mapping, which he said is standard in these types of projects.
Earlier this summer, school directors decided on the $32 million budget for renovations at the high school campus.
The $32 million amount can fluctuate as engineers continue to determine project specifications, Tray said.
Renovations are expected to include updated heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, additional science labs and auditorium upgrades. Plans call for the addition of 66 parking spaces and improved cafeteria and kitchen equipment.
Throughout the spring, school board members asked the public for comments about their project.
In November, directors voted to borrow $9.5 million for the project. A moratorium has been placed on the Department of Education's reimbursement program, but Penn-Trafford submitted a placeholder in case funding is released. The board is slated to pay off the project in 12 years.
Officials hope to break ground on the renovations in June 2014, interim Superintendent Matthew Harris said. They hope to complete as much work as possible while students are on summer break, he said.
The high school last underwent major renovations in 1996.

Roger Angell, now 94, has had an extraordinary life. A longtime fiction editor of The New Yorker and one of the best-ever writers on baseball, he is the only writer elected to both the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the Baseball Hall of Fame. His wonderful new collection, This Old Man: All in Pieces, is, he says, a grab bag, a portrait of his brain at this point in his life. The title piece, a moving and personal account of aging, received the 2014 prize for best essay from the American Society of Magazine Editors.
Jack London lived during America's first Gilded Age from the late 1800s through the early 1900s. Readers of his very popular books (he was the first U.S. author to make more than a million dollars) were entertained by stories about dogs and wolves and gold miners and ships and cannibals. At the same time, London was educating the public about serious societal problems that required fundamental reform.
Ancient Rome helps define the way we understand the world and think about ourselves. The ideas of liberty and citizenship, the Western calendar, phrases such as "beware of Greeks bearing gifts" and much more came from this one source. Renowned classicist Mary Beard, a professor at Cambridge University, has spent much of the last 50 years studying the literature of the Romans and the thousands of books and papers written about them. Her magnificent, eminently readable SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome is an authoritative exploration of how a small and unremarkable village became such a dominant power on three continents.
Henry Kissinger is one of the most controversial statesmen in American history. Some regard him as the country's greatest strategic foreign relations thinker, while others describe him as conspiratorial or as a war criminal. Noted Harvard historian Niall Ferguson tells the first part of Kissinger's story in great detail in Kissinger: 1923-1968: The Idealist, the first of a projected two-volume biography.
In his richly detailed and stimulating new book, Kissinger's Shadow: The Long Reach of America's Most Controversial Statesman, historian Greg Grandin writes that Kissinger was "the quintessential American, his cast of mind perfectly molded to his place and time."
The residents of the Gulf Coast in the 1770s and 1780s saw the American Revolution differently from the rebelling colonists in the north.In her richly detailed and riveting Independence Lost: Lives on the Edge of the American Revolution, historian Kathleen DuVal explores what the war and its aftermath meant in the lives of eight individuals who lived in an area with many competing interests.
In his farewell remarks to the White House staff after his resignation from the presidency, Richard Nixon said, "Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself." In his illuminating and compelling One Man Against the World: The Tragedy of Richard Nixon, award-winning author and journalist Tim Weiner tells the story of a tormented man, considered by many to be a brilliant politician, in the process of destroying himself.
The epic struggle between cultures and strong personalities is at the heart of Steve Inskeep's fast-paced, extensively researched Jacksonland: President Andrew Jackson, Cherokee Chief John Ross, and a Great American Land Grab.
Nationhood was never a goal of the American Revolution. The Declaration of Independence refers to "Free and Independent States." After the Revolutionary War ended, a majority of the population was opposed or indifferent to a transition from individual states to a federal government. In his brilliant and exciting new book, The Quartet: Orchestrating the Second American Revolution, 1783-1789, historian Joseph J. Ellis tells the story of how a small group of leaders, disregarding popular opinion, took the American story in a new direction
The end of World War II in Europe brought a wide range of reactions, especially in Germany. From concentration camp prisoners to top Nazi officers, from refugees crowding the roads to soldiers eager to see the war finally over, there was a mixture of heartbreak, relief, chaos and disbelief. For German novelist Walter Kempowski, who died in 2007, researching and compiling those responses, through eyewitness accounts, letters and diaries, became a lifelong mission. The result was 10 volumes and a diary of his project's progress.

In a letter sent Wednesday to TSA administrator John Pistole, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) has called for an undercover investigation of the TSA to address the problem of agents stealing from passengers' luggage, The Hill reports.
"Traveling these days is stressful enough without having to worry about being robbed by those who are paid to keep us safe," said Schumer in a press release.
The senator suggests that the operation be carried out by "undercover agents acting as travelers, and include property with embedded location tracking devices."
In the letter, he also suggests that the TSA "should also engage in random screenings of agents at the end of their shifts to ensure that they are not removing passenger property from the airport."
The most recent case of supposed TSA theft involved an iPad that was tracked to the home of a Florida TSA officer, as ABC News reports. TSA-watcher and journalist Christopher Elliot recently wrote on HuffPost Travel that the problem may be far bigger than ABC suggests.
According to one convicted TSA officer from Newark Airport, theft was "very commonplace" and "very convenient."
Back in 2011, a TSA officer was indicted for stealing $23,000 worth of watches from LAX passengers, a supervisor at Newark Airport was charged with stealing roughly $30,000 over a 13-month time span and two TSA agents at JFK airport were arrested for stealing $39,00 from passengers.
In February 2012 alone, a TSA agent stole $5,000 from a passenger's jacket as he was going through security at JFK airport. An agent at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport was accused of taking multiple iPads over the course of a year and a passenger had his Rolex stolen Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
Here's a look at look at other, recent TSA gaffes:
A woman with cancer was "embarrassed" at Sea-Tac Airport when security asked her to lift her shirt and bandages.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) urged an undercover investigation of the TSA in a letter to administrator John Pistole.
In 2012, we discovered that the TSA had a serious iPad theft problem.
A woman accused the TSA of keeping her off a flight as retaliation for not allowing them to test her water, according to a video she posted on YouTube.
TSA officers at Boston's Logan Airport have complained that their coworkers are targeting minorities.
In a total win for the agency, TSA officers rescued a kidnapped woman at Miami International Airport.
An unidentified TSA agent left a note asking a woman to "Get Your Freak On Girl". The TSA agent was later fired.
Isis Brantley, a Dallas-area hair dresser, was mad at the TSA for checking her afro for weapons.
Ashley Yang poses for a photo at Los Angeles International Airport, LAX on Thursday, Aug. 4, 2011, in Los Angeles. Yang, a transgender woman, was fired from her Transportation Security Administration, TSA passenger screener job at LAX for using the women's room. She recently received a five-figure settlement, back pay and mandatory transgender sensitivity for TSA managers at the LAX airport. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)
After a woman was allegedly sexually harassed by TSA agents at Sky Harbor International in Phoenix, AZ, her son documented the aftermath as the TSA, Southwest Airlines and Phoenix Police threaten him with arrest for filming the ordeal. Officials seem more concerned with the video than with the woman brought to tears at the security checkpoint. Video courtesy of YouTube.com/rynomaz111

A 61-year-old Denver woman named Yukari Mihamae was accused of groping a TSA agent. People rallied around her, even creating a Facebook page in support of her acquittal. Associated Press
A 94-year-old woman named Marian Paterson was patted down while standing. At the time, Paterson told ABC News she didn't understand why "of all people in America, why they'd pick out some little old lady." ABC News
Former cancer patient Thomas Sawyer was soaked by his own urine in July 2011 when his urostomy bag was burst by a TSA inspector during a patdown. Sadly, this was the second time this had happened to him. NBC
Ron Paul has come out firmly against the TSA saying it should be abolished.
A woman at Dulles Airport shared her vodka with passengers at security before the TSA could confiscate it.

Rand Paul, R-Ky. shows a picture he says is of a young girl being searched by the TSA, during the committee's hearing to examine ongoing transportation security threats, Wednesday, June 22, 2011, on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Rep. Sharon Cissna, D-Anchorage, center, answers questions from members of the press after disembarking the Alaska Ferry Matanuska, in Juneau, Alaska Thursday, February 24th, 2011. Cissna's four-day ordeal began when she refused to be patted down by TSA agents in the Seattle-Tacoma airport following a full body scan that detected her mastectomy, which the TSA agent felt necessitated the extra security precaution of a full body pat down, Cissna's second in three months. She refused, and took a ferry from Prince Rupert, British Columbia to Juneau to return to her legislative duties. Cisna vowed Thursday to fight for the rights of travelers who have been subjected to what she considers intrusive airport searches by federal airport screeners. (AP Photo/Chris Miller)
A 24-year-old Columbia University student jumped on a baggage carousel at JFK airport in an attempt to make his flight after a TSA agent wouldn't let him through security without a valid ID. The TSA wins this one, but it's still pretty funny.

ABERDEEN, Miss. (AP) — A federal judge has temporarily delayed sentencing for a Mississippi man who pleaded guilty to making ricin and sending letters laced with the poison to President Barack Obama and other officials.
James Everett Dutschke (DUHS'-kee) pleaded guilty in January to sending the tainted letters to Obama as well as Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and Mississippi judge Sadie Holland. He was to be sentenced Tuesday in Aberdeen, Mississippi.
At the sentencing, Dutschke spoke for 30 minutes in the courtroom, arguing he had committed no crime and that the substance involved never could have been toxic and that FBI agents and federal prosecutors committed perjury.
Afterward, U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock told Dutschke to talk with his lawyer about whether to withdraw the guilty plea.

COLORADO SPRINGS — A man was found dead and a teen girl wounded early Saturday morning after a report of shots fired, according to police.
Police responded to an apartment complex in the southeast part of town about 1:30 a.m.. The girl's gunshot wound was not life-threatening, police said.
"I just want it to be over," said one female resident, who said residents heard shots fired Thursday night around the building corner from the apartment where the man was found dead Saturday. Two police showed up to investigate Thursday night, but nothing was filed.

The opening game of the season is all promise. Anything could happen. In the fall, at the end of another dismal season, baseball fans have been heard to vow: Wait'll next year! There was a time when that phrase was the unofficial motto of Brooklyn, N.Y., when it was still home to the Dodgers, dem bums.
Well, this could be next year in these parts. Which is why, every April, we the local devoted make it to the Arkansas Travelers' opener at their little jewel box of a retro stadium just across the river from Arkansas' statewide newspaper, one of the few left in the country whose circulation covers a whole state.
Spring is in the air here, and with it, hope. For a baseball fan, the year is divided into two parts: life and the off-season. The long winter is past, the endless summer awaits. Inside these friendly confines, time has been abolished. Here its passage is marked by innings, not minutes and hours. Theoretically a tied baseball game could go on forever, from here to eternity.
Life began again in these precincts at 6:10 p.m., April 5th, 2013, with the first pitch of the first game of the season, precisely 23 hours after the original opener the night before had been rained out. So the fans got a double-header. Which only heightened the anticipation, the underlying exhilaration as you walked through the gate.
All was new again. Yet familiar. You felt the same old intake of breath at the first sight of the diamond below. The grass was still winter-scruffy in the lengthening shadows of the dying day, but time will take care of that, day by day, rain by rain in these fecund latitudes.
It wasn't just the look of things opening night that revivified. I'd forgotten the sounds. You could close your eyes and see the game. Even before it began. Listen! To the rustle of the gathering crowd, like that of people filing into the Metropolitan Opera before the opening curtain. Hear the cries of the hawkers: Peanuts! Popcorn! Crackerjacks! and these days, Nachos! The sounds say it all: the crack of the bat, the thwack of the ball in the catcher's mitt, the first shouts of many to come, the strains of organ chords over the crackle of the public address system ... and you know just where you are. In America watching the American game.
Pulitzer Prize-winning Paul Greenberg, one of the most respected and honored commentators in America, is the editorial page editor of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

Security software company Sophos employs just two IT security specialists to protect itself against cyber-attacks, according to Sophos CIO Jason Richards.
Richards suggested that Sophos is no different from any other organisation in terms of the threats it faced. In fact, he thinks that the company may be under more pressure to be secure because of the extreme reputational damage a successful breach would cause given the market it's in.
But despite this, the company, which employs about 2,000 staff, only employs two IT security professionals.
"It's two people, they run the whole security function at Sophos," Richards told Computing.
"The reason we can do this is that we run Sophos' own products, and I'm a great believer in drinking our own champagne. We want security to be simple and we want people to be confident of using our products and not needing an army of security professionals," he added.
Richards explained that he wanted Sophos to be a template for how other organisations could use Sophos products with a small team.
He said that Sophos, like many other organisations, struggles to recruit the right people. "If you don't have the right people who can talk to the business, then even if they are 'techy' people, you have a real challenge on your hands," he said.

Michelle has a good sense of humor--- in my recent dream she was a PA with my OBGYN. When I was telling them abou my weight loss issues (in my dream my weight had ballooned up 25 lbs over night, and I was crying I was so pissed).... Michelle told me to do some lines of coke to get my metabolism going.
she said it with a wink and pretended to do some on her desk and my OB was sorta laughing at first, but uncomfortable. So then Michelle kept doing it cause she thought that was funny and the two women got in a fight about appropriate behavior in front of patients.
I just wanted an RX for phentermine... LOL Figured Happy might be getting me one with her coke suggestion.
Weird... too focused on weight loss AND BBC I guess. Why can't I have hot men sex dreams?!

See, I'm just not 'buying' that. There will always be things that people want, whether it's an iphone or the latest transporter installed in your living room. And unless resources are unlimited, there was to be a value put on the exchange of them. Likewise, someone still needs to do the grunt work of civilization, and those people surely aren't doing it to fulfill their hunger for knowledge.
I also think if they make humans too perfect, it makes the show boring. How many of us rolled our eyes when Picard made that statement about money? To me it was what was wrong with that episode, they tried to make the 24th century humans too far removed from us, which made them unrelatable and unrealistic.
