Summit confirms that six federal agencies are working on biometric identification. According to Business Wire, the Biometrics & Identity Management Summit which will take place this august and is hosted by the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement is the only conference of its kind anywhere in the world.

The IDGA says the general public's resistance to technology previously viewed as invasive has been lowered, and that since biometric identification was given a legislative green light, the imperative to create standards and new technologies has paved the way for a massive infusion of government funding.

Tommy Lee's Life Is Being Made Into A Movie
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Mötley Crüe drummer, who starred in last year's NBC reality show "Tommy Lee Goes to College", will be the subject of a still-untitled film that is currently in pre-production and is slated to begin shooting in the spring. Bruce Sinofsky who was behind "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster" will be one of the directors.
"In the rock world, there are few figures as colorful as Tommy Lee, and not just because of his tattoos," Sinofsky said, according to the Reporter. "This project seeks a candid glimpse behind the celebrity and tabloid personality into who Tommy really is, watching him interact with family, friends and business associates."
Lee was psyched about the project. "I'm honored that Bruce is turning his cameras loose on me," he said.

Nikki Sixx Auctions Personal Items For Charity
Mötley Crüe founder and bassist Nikki Sixx knows first-hand what it's like to have to fend for yourself on the streets, which is why he has launched "Running Wild in the Night," a fundraising initiative for Covenant House.
Covenant House provides services in 21 cities, 15 in the U.S., to homeless and runaway youth, including advocacy, health care, education, vocational preparation, drug abuse treatment and prevention programs, legal services, recreation, transitional living programs, street and community outreach and aftercare. "I chose to work with Covenant House after a lot of research - I saw what they were doing and it was exactly what I had invisioned for helping at- risk kids – I visited the Los Angeles location and was impressed by the whole operation."
To help raise even more money for this great cause Nikki has donated items of stage & personal clothing to be auctioned off with proceeds going to Running Wild in the Night.
For more information and a list of auction items, visit Nikki's "Running Wild In The Night" page.

Tommy Lee Burned By Pyrotechnics
The Associated Press is reporting that MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee was burned when a pyrotechnics stunt went wrong at a concert in Casper, Wyo., police said.
Lee played one more song after he was injured toward the end of Wednesday night's show, said Sgt. Doug Beran of the Casper Police Department, who responded to the incident. But another band member came out after a short break and said the concert had to be cut short because of the drummer's injuries, Beran said.
Lee was taken to a hospital for treatment but was not badly injured, he said. The sergeant declined to discuss details of Lee's injuries, citing privacy considerations.
Tom Morton, a reporter for the Casper Star-Tribune who attended the concert, said Lee appeared to be injured when sparks began flying as he swung above the stage suspended from a wire, back and forth between several drum sets. Another witness, Del Kinswoman, described the pyrotechnics as Roman candles.
MÖTLEY CRÜE was scheduled to perform in Bismarck, N.D. on Friday and in Rapid City, S.D. on Saturday, according to the group's web site.
MÖTLEY CRÜE's management sent the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding the onstage incident : More...

Vince Neil Back On Stage After Injury
Motley Crue spokeswoman Hannah Kampf tells The Associated Press singer Vince Neil performed with no problems Sunday night in Memphis, Tennessee, after tearing a calf muscle about five songs into a show Friday at Atlanta's Philips Arena.
Vince Neil Tears Calf Muscle, Cuts Motley Crue Set
Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx posted the following message in his online diary on Sunday:
"During 'Live Wire' last night Vince's [Neil] left leg completely gave out. He said it felt like a snap or he had been hit was something extremely heavy in the calf. It was right before intermission and after we finished the song without him, we went backstage where he was surrounded by paramedics. They said he probably tore something in his calf and he needed to go to the hospital right away. He wanted to go back onstage, but to be honest, he couldn't even stand. Finally he was rushed to the hospital and the report is that he did tear the muscle, but it's not as bad as it could be. He will be able to perform but can't really jump around until it heals... Usually these type of injuries take up to six weeks to heal so he's very lucky."
"We have a day off today and tomorrow is a show in Memphis, then another day off. So that leaves him more time offstage than usual. We honor the tickets for the show in Atlanta.
"Vince feels horrible, and he wanted to finish the show but I think it's better he didn't in the big picture.
"From all four of us, we're very sorry and will be back to Atlanta. No shows will be cancelled."
Crue To Record Home Sweet Home w/ Bennington

Then we go to a recording studio with everybody in tow and cut it proper for a single to be released to raise more money to help the people of New Orleans, then we have a concert that night.
"Tonight was our 100th show so far...
"Got to go to Nashville now..."

Tommy Lee Discusses Nick Carter Collaboration
RollingStone.com caught up with Tommy Lee for a Q&A and asked the Motley Crue drummer how long he debated having Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter on his new album 'Tommyland: The Ride'. "I knew that was coming," Lee laughed. "Nick wanted me to write for him on his solo record. He wanted something edgier, and I was like, 'Hmm, I don't know'. But I took a meeting with him, and much to my surprise he was a huge rock fan. I popped out his CD player in his car and it was filled with Physical Graffiti and AC/DC and Sabbath. It kinda blew my mind. We did these two killer tracks together, so I said, 'Can I use one of those?' Let me tell you something: That motherfu**er came into the studio and out-partied people like Slash. [Nick's] a fu**ing maniac. And that's coming from me. I mean, I'm serious."

Tommy Lee Denies Wedding Rumors
The Associated Press reports Tommy Lee says he and Pamela Anderson aren't getting married again. "Noooo," he told "The Tonight Show" host Jay Leno Monday night.
The couple, who were married in 1995, divorced in 1998. They have been on and off again ever since. They were photographed together in Hawaii last month, and that's when the marriage rumors started, Lee said.
"I took Pamela and the kids to Hawaii for her birthday. And anytime we get together for any length of time, people are like, `Oh, they're getting married,'" he said.
Anderson had told reporters she and Lee weren't getting back together, but the 42-year-old rocker renewed speculation when he told People magazine: "We're crazy in love. We're going to take things slowly and see where they go."
"You know, we're stuck together forever. We love each other dearly and we have two beautiful kids," Lee told Leno. "But as far as getting married or engaged, I'm not engaged or married."
The couple have two sons, Brandon, 9, and Dylan, 7.
Lee's new show, "Tommy Lee Goes to College," debuts Aug. 16 on NBC.
Tommy Lee's Talking About Pamela Again
In what is so definitely metal news (pardon the sarcasm), FemaleFirst.co.uk reports that Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee insists he was faithful to Pamela Anderson during their two turbulent marriages. "There's too much temptation. You have to be so in love to stay monogamous," Lee said. "I wasn't unfaithful to Pamela, but everybody has a line and mine was 'watching is OK'. If girls wanted to put on a little showcase, that would be nice. But it's not my favorite thing in the world." You can read more of this article on FemaleFirst.co.uk.
Asked about his relationship with ex-wife Pamela Anderson, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee tells People magazine, "We're crazy in love. At the end of the day, that's truly what my heart wants. I want us all to be together."
Motorhead's Lemmy To Receive 'Living Legend' Award
Lemmy Kilmister, the notorious bass player and vocalist of U.K. rock 'n' roll titans Motörhead, will be honored with the very first "Living Legend" award at this year's inaugural Classic Rock Roll of Honor, organized by Classic Rock magazine. Taking place on Tuesday, October 4, 2005 at London's Café De Paris, the Classic Rock Roll of Honor will celebrate the big names as well as the unsung heroes from the diverse world of rock 'n' roll and promises to take a fresh approach to the tired award ceremony format.
To coincide with the 30th Anniversary of Motörhead, the U.K.'s most revered rock 'n' roll outfit as well as, unbelievably, Lemmy's 60th birthday celebrations, the Classic Rock Roll of Honor will place a special emphasis on the often diluted "Lifetime Achievement" award category.
Rather than simply giving Lemmy the "Living Legend" award on the night, the Classic Rock Roll of Honor will dedicate an entire section of the evening's proceedings to pay homage to the remarkable achievements of one of the U.K.'s best-loved rock 'n' roll stars. The team behind Classic Rock magazine and the Classic Rock Roll of Honor have assembled a moving tribute package that comprises of testimonials and greetings to Lemmy from a raft of peers and young bands and musicians inspired by the star, as well as messages from fans of all ages. It is hoped that Lemmy and the rest of Motörhead will complete the evening with a brief acoustic set. This however, has not been confirmed by the band at this stage.
In addition to Lemmy's "Living Legend" award, there will be a further eight awards on the night, which will be announced soon. Classic Rock also has announced the categories and nominations for the very first Readers' Awards, which are voted for by the readers via text message ballot: More...

evaluation software from several vendors, including BSPs for

But if you listen to the sports radio station, he'll say how he has no time and has been busy non-stop and rip the readers and everyone who has an opinion other than his the whole way (like Bill Johnson does). Funny how some people like them forget that if it weren't for the people who pay subscription rates and listen to the radio stations and support their sponsors, they would never even have their cushy jobs in the first place.
I never listen to him on the radio but I remember one year I was at spring training and saw him and when I asked him something he was pretty grumpy.
Although I have e-mailed him and received nice responses.
I agree, BSBLFN, very slow. Isn't this about the time when they'd at least be resocking the bullpen? And first base is gathering cobwebs ...
At some point doesn't Mark need to hold Doug and his leadership team responsible for this drug infested organization?Hide replies
That's right,because no other MLB teams have had their minor league players suspended for drug use-sheesh!
Do you really think Will West would have gone up to Doug and told him, if you draft me I think I'll try some juice to help me play better?
Youre ridiculous. Because Mark and Doug share a room with this guy in Rookie ball. How many blatant druggies do you see that are obvious to everyones eyes. Drug users are usually hiding somewhere doing their thing. How are they responsible for the stupid decions somebody makes in their own life?
Does West hang out with the infamous Braun?
looks like he will west for the west of the season

I'm using version 220.127.116.11 of AAM
Here is a screenshot of the menu I'm talking about: Screenshot
When I use the menu for e.g. the contributor role and for the submenu Dashboard I check the items akismet stats, updates, event viewer and uncheck Home and Whole Branch and then Save, the result is that Whole Branch is checked and the rest is unchecked.
The only way to achieve the access to the Home of Dashboard by the contributors is to uncheck all the items and then Save, the result is shown in the image.
It is therefore impossible to check and save individual items in the submenu's of the main menu, when you do this the "Whole Branch" item is checked, the rest of the submenu is unchecked and the result is restriction to the whole submenu for the specific role.
I tried this a dozen times, clearing cache over and over again etc... but no change in behaviour.

Best Carryout Chinese (2005)
China "A"
It's been an awful day. Now, it's getting dark. The rain is coming down. The exhaustion settles in. Those two rental movies on your passenger seat look awfully enticing. At times like this, the difference between good Chinese takeout and bad Chinese takeout is based on three factors: taste, price, and speed. China "A" aces the trio. Nestled in a no-frills spot in Northridge Shopping Center, China "A" serves up about 100 dishes under $10 -- from the classic General Tao's chicken ($8.50) to moo shu shrimp ($6.50). Have a bunch of mouths to feed? Try the Super Family Pack for $20.99; it includes three egg rolls, wonton soup, fried rice, and three entrée selections. Walk-in orders are filled in about ten minutes, while deliveries take about 20 minutes if you live nearby. Plus, you won't get MSG-laden dishes at China "A." Remarkably, the food is as good as any restaurant in New York's Chinatown. Hours are Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 9:30 p.m. Free delivery is available to select areas.

Nationals Insider
Though Jim Riggleman insisted all spring Ivan Rodriguez would be his Opening Day catcher, the Washington Nationals manager never said Rodriguez would be his everyday catcher this season.
Sure enough, in the season's second game, Wilson Ramos was behind the plate as the Nationals begin to transition the 23-year-old into a more regular role.
The plan for now, Riggleman said, is to have Rodriguez, 39, and Ramos split the job 50-50. Neither will be designated at the team's No. 1 catcher.
"I think we literally kind of have two No. 1's there," the manager said before Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. "Right now, I think we're going to move towards that."
Over time, the Nationals hope Ramos ascends to the leading role, a scenario that would force Rodriguez to the bench more regularly and could create a sticky situation for the club and one of the greatest catchers in baseball history.
Riggleman, though, made a preemptive move in talking to Rodriguez Friday, a meeting the manager called "one of the best conversations I've ever had with a ballplayer since I've been managing."
Rodriguez, a 14-time All-Star and 13-time Gold Glove Award winner, has willingly accepted his new role and wants to serve as a mentor to Ramos.
"He's the future of our ballclub," Rodriguez said. "I'm here to work with him. I don't have no problem with that. ... The most important thing for me is to help the ballclub."
Rodriguez, who is 183 hits shy of 3,000 for his career, said he thinks he can continue to play for another three or four years and is willing to do it as a backup in Washington.
"Absolutely," he said. "I would love to. There's still a lot of baseball in me. I feel like I can help this team in so many ways: in the field, off the field, with my teammates. ... I would like to finish here. That's my goal, to stay here and accomplish my goals I want to accomplish: be in another playoffs, another World Series and reach 3,000 hits."
Whether the Nationals are interested in retaining Rodriguez (entering the final year of his two-year, 6 million deal) is another question. The club has two more young catchers in the minors (Jesus Flores, Derek Norris) who figure into the organization's long-term plans.
A more likely scenario would have Rodriguez playing well enough during the first half of this season to entice another club into acquiring him before the July 31 trade deadline.
All of this, of course, assumes Ramos develops into the kind of catcher the Nationals hoped they were getting when they acquired him from the Minnesota Twins for closer Matt Capps last summer. The Venezuelan native had a productive spring, hitting .354 in 20 games.
"I'm very excited for this opportunity," Ramos said. "I was waiting for this. I will learn with Pudge, he's going to teach me a lot. I want to learn with him so I will try to do the best I can."

And look what happened. This entity isn't a company, it is a charity for management and bondholders. In multiple posts I explained this to you, and yet you never were able to take a step back and look at the situation with a clear head.
It doesn't matter what the stock price is, this is just a ponzi scheme type of company that can NEVER be sold to an arm's length 3rd party buyer. It is a zombie stock. You can root for this all you want, but you will be wasting your time for years and years and years. Everything else on the planet went up, except LEE. I ownder why? Buffett got a good look under the hood and he is passing. But, I know, you are much more intelligent than Warren Buffett. There are 7 billion people in the world and Buffett is top 5 in wealth, and has been for years. In the history of all human beings, you somehow managed to have the greatest capital allocator in history take a close look, and he decided that is was garbage. But you losers are right about....LOL.
I told you this for 3 and a half years, actually. I know this company inside and out, and I am in the top one tenth of one percent in the world when it comes to analyzing a debt situation. I learned the hard way. You are all losers. You just glance at that billion in debt and act like it doesn't mean a thing. You are fools.
ezdeek is right, I sold my LEE in 2011 after realizing this company and stock will never be a good investment, because of too much debt and little or no potential for earnings growth. This is a loser stock. Don't waste your time here. Buffett is selling his shares.

ABSTRACT: Molecular profiling has proven utility as a diagnostic and predictive tool in clinical oncology. However, a clinically relevant gene expression profile in pancreatic cancer remains elusive. Primary and metastatic pancreatic cancer cell lines (BxPC-3 and AsPC-1), were stimulated with phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a known inducer of cell invasion. Affymetrix gene expression microarray analysis was performed, comparing gene expression to unstimulated controls. Differential expression was identified using ArrayAssist, and confirmed using quantitative real-time PCR. Bioinformatic analysis was performed using Pathway Studio and GOstat. The derived gene expression was further validated in fresh frozen pancreatic tumour samples. The ability of the derived 3 gene expression markersto differentiate between pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and other neoplasms, and its association with clinicopathological variables was examined. PMA-induced significant changes in cell line gene expression, from which distinctive 3 potential invasive markers were derived. Expression of these genes, uPA, MMP-1 and IL1-R1 was confirmed in human pancreatic tumours, and was found to differentiate PDAC from other pancreatic neoplasms. The expression of IL1-R1 in PDAC is a novel finding. We found that the expression of MMP-1 was associated with high-grade PDAC (p = 0.035, Wilcoxon rank sum). We have identified three potential invasive markers, uPA, MMP-1 and IL1-R1, whose gene expression may differentiate PDAC from other pancreatic neoplasms, and potentially reflect a more invasive phenotype.

Bank of Canada shows concerns about downside risks
TORONTO, Nov 3 (Reuters) – The gloom that seems to surround
central bankers stems from the fact that risks associated with a
new downturn in the economy and inflation are less easy to
handle than surprises on the upside, Bank of Canada Governor
Stephen Poloz said on Monday.
The Bank of Canada regards the risks to achieving its 2
percent inflation target as being balanced, Poloz said, but he
added: "We acknowledge that, in the current situation, the
consequences of an upside risk would be more manageable than
those associated with a downside risk.

TORONTO/CHICAGO, Sept 25 (Reuters) – The turnaround

Amid coffee rivalry, McDonald's Canada to sell java in grocery stores
TORONTO (Reuters) – McDonald's Corp (MCD.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) is making its McCafe ground coffee available in Canadian grocery stores this month, the fast-food giant said on Tuesday, part of its broader campaign to win market share in a country long dominated by rivals like Tim Hortons Inc (THI.TO: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Starbucks Corp (SBUX.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).
The competition to woo Canadian coffee drinkers has intensified in recent years, while rivals have pushed into McDonald's territory by expanding their own breakfast and lunch menus in order to attract new customers and drive up spending per visit.

The cordillera south of Mendoza city contains two remote and little visited but stunning provincial parks – the fabulous Parque Provincial Tupungato, 80km southwest from Mendoza and dominated by the soaring volcano of the same name, and the Reserva Provincial Laguna Diamante, with a turquoise altiplanic lake, the Laguna Diamante, at its heart. The latter is a further 140km southwest of Tupungato and only open during the summer; both are well worth the effort it takes to reach them.

Mount Pisgah
Where: near Springfield, Oregon
Who: DB
When: July 2010
For the 4th peak of the day, DB and I hiked up Mount Pisgah, a dominating (yet still only 1,530 feet high) mountain near Springfield and Eugene. At the grassy top of the mountain, we encountered an interesting memorial to Jed Kesey, the son of Ken Kesey who had tragically died in a vehicle accident in the mid-80s. As I recall, Bill Graham ponied up the dough to create the memorial. Pretty cool stuff.
Dunderberg Peak
Where: near Yosemite National Park
Who: solo
When: June 2010
Dunderberg Peak is a healthy-size peak on the border of Yosemite National Park above Virginia Lakes. DB and I had failed on an attempt of the peak the previous June when she'd experienced some show-stopping AMS symptoms. This time, I set out alone for the summit while she hung back and enjoyed the lakes, the people-watching and the general sense of freedom that comes with the start of a long vacation. The roundtrip hike cost a whopping 2 hours and 25 minutes of my time. And the views were well worth it!

Grammys hit all the right notes
Credit: AP
The Grammys couldn't go wrong this year: a stellar field of album of the year nominees, a single Chris Brown nomination (one too many, but he lost and the dweeb wrecked his Porsche on Saturday night) and the return of Justin Timberlake.
Or they couldn't go as wrong as they usually go, which, admittedly, is pretty wrong.
Music's biggest awards show has been inching toward hip for a few years thanks to huge underdog wins by acts such as Bon Iver and Arcade Fire. Last night, Fun., Gotye and Mumford & Sons topped the pop establishment, respectively winning song, record and album of the year.
Of course this is the Grammys, so between the positive momentum there were loads of ridiculous moments.
The CBS broadcast began with Taylor Swift channeling Lady Gaga in an absurd Mad Hatter-inspired "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" — man, she really can't sing live. Soon enough Swift was forgotten, well, not by tweens, but by me.
Fun. reminded viewers how complex simple rock can be (see: Queen) on "Carry On." Miguel and Wiz Khalifa crushed it with an old-school hip-hop/new jack swing soul number, "Adorn." The Black Keys, Dr. John and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band blitzed some Big Easy stoner rock.
Best of all, Mumford & Sons, Jack White and the Lumineers proved acoustic guitars and killer tunes can thrill millions upon millions, because music doesn't need to be draped in dumb costumes or bolstered by backup dancers, it just needs to be awesome.
But Timberlake laid down the marquee performance. The budding icon has been busy trying to be a movie star. He's doing a decent job, but c'mon. His rat-pack-meets-modern-cool, Stax-soul-on-top-of-big-band medley of new music was so damn fine.
Did JT just make Bruno Mars obsolete? Maybe, but Mars' Bob Marley tribute with Ziggy and Sting was pretty choice.
Between silly sights and sublime spectacle they gave out a handful of awards — they handed out 90 percent of the golden gramophones preshow. Some key victories: Adele's live version of "Set Fire to the Rain" for best pop solo performance over pap by Rihanna and Katy Perry, with Frank Ocean smacking down Chris Brown for best urban contemporary album, and Gotye and Kimbra beating out LMFAO for best pop duo/group performance.
All steps in the right direction. Hopefully next year there'll be more improvements. They can start by giving the Alabama Shakes some gold — Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard out-sung and outshone Elton John, Marcus Mumford and Zac Brown on the Levon Helm tribute.

A high-end tea set in a Saharawi home in Western Sahara.
Eliza Barclay/NPR

December 13, 2012 Drinking sweet green mint tea — lots of it — is an essential transaction while doing business in Western Sahara. But green tea consumption is a relatively recent tradition in North Africa.
Tea a dangerous habit? Women have long made a ritual of it, but in 19th century Ireland, moral reformers tried to talk them out of it. At the time, tea was considered a luxury, and taking the time to drink it was an affront to the morals of frugality and restraint.
hide caption
December 5, 2012 Reformers of the 19th century warned that taking a tea break would steer Irish peasant women to thoughts of revolution. The warnings largely went unheeded. Still, it gives us pause to think about our modern-day food obsessions and how they might look to others in the future.
The Emperor's Himalayan lavender tea is popular at Washington, D.C.'s Park Hyatt Tea Room, but please don't put milk in it.

September 27, 2012 In many cultures, milk and tea are natural pairs, while in others, not so much. But if you're drinking tea for health, you might want to hold the milk, because there is some evidence it diminishes the benefits.

Defying Evil, and Mortality
By FELICIA R. LEE
Published: August 1, 1996
''I SMOKE in my dreams,'' she says in that jazzy voice that hints of adventure and defiance. ''I wake myself up some nights, just laughing about something, and I'll have a cigarette in my hand.''
Nikki Giovanni, the poet, is talking about life and death. She quit smoking after being diagnosed with lung cancer last year. Her surgeon took out half of one lung and three of her ribs, and for a long time, she says, she felt too fragile even to bathe. She cringed in fear of a pat on the back.
Still, there are those dreams, full of smoke and laughter and that semi sleepwalking state in which she grabs her housemate's cigarettes. Ms. Giovanni misses smoking; she does not find new meaning in life because of her illness.
''I get so sick of these people who talk about how cancer made them better people,'' she says, sitting in the dining room of her brick ranch house in Christiansburg, Va., near Roanoke. ''I don't think I'm any nicer or kinder. If it takes a near-death experience for you to appreciate your life, you're wasting somebody's time.''
''I'm glad I'm not dead, but I don't think any cosmic being sent cancer to change my life,'' she says. ''If it did, there are easier ways to get my attention. It could have whispered in my ear. I'm a quick study.''
The woman the press once called ''The Princess of Black Poetry'' is a more queenly 53 now, but she is as outspoken, prolific and energetic as ever. This year, she wrote two poetry books for children, edited another and helped select the poems for her first volume of collected poetry. A tennis fan, she has recovered her health enough to cover the court with ease.
Ms. Giovanni was by her early 20's an icon of the black arts movement of the 1960's, her poems including homages to figures like Aretha Franklin and paeans to the black revolution. Since 1987, she has been a professor of English literature at Virginia Polytechnic Insititute and State University in Blacksburg.
Her first books of poetry -- ''Black Feeling, Black Thought,'' ''Black Judgement'' and ''Re: Creation'' -- sold very well for poetry.
Ms. Giovanni is still political. She rails about O. J. Simpson (''innocent,'' she says), the Million Man March (''terrific'') and police brutality against black people (''rampant''). Her trademark short Afro hairdo is now blond. She wears diamond-stud earrings and a Georgetown University sweatshirt. (Her only child, Thomas, is a law student there.) The once gamine figure is rounded by an extra 20 pounds from channel surfing while she recovered from cancer surgery.
''I just don't think it's a good idea to sit silently for that which you know is evil,'' she says of her decades of speaking out about racism and feminist issues.
Ms. Giovanni has always said that the personal combines with the political, that her writing -- described by critics as blunt and lyrical, with a bluesy quality -- talks not just about politics but also about love and longing.
She wrote an essay for the July 11 Home Section of The New York Times about the burning of black churches and the sense of community she found at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Knoxville, Tenn., amid segregation and oppression.
''Writing is about character; it's not about content,'' she says. ''It's about who you are.''
She uses words like ''old'' to describe herself these days and says that Virginia is a good place to retire. She is not home much, between speaking engagements, teaching and book tours. This spring her book tour for ''The Selected Poems of Nikki Giovanni'' (William Morrow & Company), took her to both coasts and several points between.
The children's books are also poetry, ''The Sun Is So Quiet'' and ''The Genie in the Jar,'' both of which she wrote, and ''Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy Like My Sister Kate,'' which she edited. (All three are published by Henry Holt & Company.) ''Shimmy'' looks at the Harlem Renaissance.
Her selected poetry, which spans from 1968 to the present, includes images of black men and women, and poems about Robert F. Kennedy, Langston Hughes and Lorraine Hansberry. She also does riffs on the simple pleasures of snowflakes and being a bridesmaid.
Her poem ''Nikki-Rosa'' remains one of her favorites.
Childhood remembrances are always a drag
if you're black
you always remember things like living in Woodlawn
with no inside toilet
and if you become famous or something
they never talk about how happy you were to have
your mother
all to yourself and
how good the water felt when you got your bath
from one of those
big tubs that folk in chicago barbecue in.
There is also the feminist anger reflected in a work like ''Woman Poem'':
It's a sex object if you're pretty
and no love
or love and no sex if you get fat
get back fat black woman be a mother
grandmother strong thing but not woman.
And even appreciation of men captured in ''Beautiful Black Men'':
I wanta say just gotta say something
bout those beautiful beautiful beautiful outasight
black men
with they afros
walking down the street
is the same ol danger
but a brand new pleasure.
''I look back at some of them and think 'not bad,' '' she said of her work. Ms. Giovanni, who majored in history at Fisk University in Nashville, says this in a big room full of Negrobilia, including sculptures of three black boys eating watermelon and of a black man driving a white man in a buggy.
On the wall is a huge blue-and-green clock with the words ''Lezzie's Hilltop Hotel for Colored Only.'' Nat (King) Cole's creamy voice oozes from a compact disk.

I am very pleased with the Soap Nuts. They are whole and do the job exactly as you say. I have been using soap nuts for about 3 years now but these are the best. More loads of wash per bag. Maybe because they are all whole. I also make the liquid and use for dishes and cleaning. Thank You. Pembine , WI

I've been using soap nuts for more than 6 years along with a little baking soda in the wash and vinegar as a rinse. I love the fresh from the line smell on my laundry. I am very happy with the quality and pricing of NaturOli Organic Hand-Sort Select Soap Nuts.
Happy with this product.

I am quite pleased with these soap nuts and how far it's saved on my cleaning costs the natural way. I've used these in my laundry for the past 9 months and made liqid soap by simmering them in water, adding a bit of natural dish soap and scented oils, which I used every where including as a shampoo and body wash. They do a good job, especially when used with a bit of baking soda when one has hard water like I have.

I use these to save a lot of money by making natural, organic, lovely-smelling, effect detergent. Take these soap nuts, boil them in water and then re-boil them again, add a few other ingredients and some essential oils and you've just made yourself some lovely natural, organic laundry detergent that won't harm the environment or your health and will cost you pennies on the dollar of whatever you're spending on store-bought detergents of similar caliber.
Works great!

We hadn't tried soap nuts before, but they really work as they should and are good for our skin and the environment. No funny smells, and clothes feel real soft so we don't need a fabric softener anymore. These seems to be of a high quality judging by eyes and clothes, and comes in at a fair price.

My current apartment is furnished with furniture thrifted from Craiglist, IKEA pieces, or hand-me-downs from the parents. In fact, our place has no piece of furniture that costs us more than $100.
Now that I am moving across the country, I will need at least new furniture in my bedroom: a bed frame, mattress, desk, etc.
For one split, fleeting second, I considered buying a used mattress off a graduating MBA student. Then I realized that my fear of bedbugs overwhelms my desire to save money. In fact, even my mother (who is the most dedicated saver I know), counseled me against buying used furniture because of the pain and hassle that comes from a bedbug infestation. That stuff is no joke.
Fortunately, Overstock has some bedframes and mattresses for $200 each. That's even cheaper than many IKEA options! The low prices mean that I can put together a bed & linens for under $500. I can afford it, and I will consider that an investment in my peace of mind. And when I fall asleep, I shall dream of the $2,000 mattress I once tried and loved.
