Anne Marie Duff Gossip
Anne Marie Duff gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Anne-Marie & James to end the day
Wenn, Jon Furniss/ Corbis/ Splash News
All day I've been waiting to post these pictures. I like the idea of Anne-Marie Duff and James McAvoy sitting at the top of my site overnight. James accompanied Anne to the Suffragette premiere in London last night. As you can see, they were so sweet together on the red carpet. Next year is their 10 year wedding anniversary. Full Story
James McAvoy: a losing winner
Anthony Harvey/ Fred Duval/ Karwai Tang/Getty Images
Winning loser? Whatever. He lost out on the Olivier Award for Best Actor to Mark Strong but I don't know that anyone can call James McAvoy a loser. Not when he's out there, saying what he means and meaning what he says, about the arts, about how privilege can influence who becomes an artist, and speaking out about the importance of arts funding, and then pledging £125,000 for a 10 year scholarship at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland where he graduated in 2000. Full Story
The McDuffs: Best BAFTA Couple

Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshaw. Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Turner. Even Keira Knightley and James Righton. All fine and worthy candidates, sure. But for me, the title of Best BAFTA Couple belongs to the McDuffs, Anne-Marie Duff and James McAvoy, arguably the most acclaimed (though underrated) couple in the business. Full Story
James McAvoy great reviews
David M. Benett/ Getty Images
James McAvoy was joined by Anne-Marie Duff last night in London at the after-party following the gala performance of The Ruling Class. I love them, I love them, I love them. And every time I see them, I feel joy and relief. Mostly joy. Joy for them now because they are celebrating. They are celebrating the success of the play. Full Story
James McAvoy sings Barry Manilow
Wenn, Karwai Tang/ David M. Benett/ Fred Duval/ Getty Images
And he can! He can! James McAvoy was on Jonathan Ross this weekend. So was Barry Manilow. And it turns out McAvoy is a Fanilow. He told Ross that he used to dress up in his sisters "wee white trousers" as a kid to sing "the love story of Tony and Lola". McAvoy is all about Copacabana. Full Story
McDuff, the first couple of British theatre
I didn't come up with it. That was the position of this article in The Guardian last month pronouncing Anne-Marie Duff and James McAvoy "Britain's new golden acting couple". She's already distinguished herself on stage, he's currently Macbeth in the West End. Full Story
Mr & Mrs McAvoy: Best Couple at the Olivier Awards
Wenn, Tim Whitby/Ben Pruchnie/Getty
Oh My God, so beautiful.Here are Anne-Marie Duff and James McAvoy last night in London at the Olivier Awards. Could they be any cuter together? I love them SO much.Check out the shot of his nose smushed against her face. He has great taste, right? He adores his wife, right? He totally, totally adores his wife and doesn't live in LA and stays away from Hollywood bullsh-t and works hard and works smart and isn't interested in all the other bullsh-t that comes with it. Full Story
James and the Original Fiona
What a bonus! Second sighting of James McAvoy in less than a week! He was out last night with his wife Anne-Marie Duff at the press night for Cause Celebre at the Old Vic Theatre. Duff, naturally, is receiving amazing reviews for her performance. It's her first role since they became parents. What's this about the Original Fiona? Many of you lately have been emailing about the US version of Shameless. Full Story
The happy couple
They announced earlier today that they are expecting and tonight James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff arrived together at the UK premiere of The Last Station totally blissed out and beautiful even though I'm not sure about his hair. Can't decide. She however, at 39 and pregnant with their first, has never looked lovelier. Full Story
Missing you, too few
This is the problem with the ones who aren't famewhoring douchebags, the ones committed to their wives. They don't come out very much. They're able to lead private lives. Oh baby, but let me look at you! James McAvoy with Anne-Marie Duff yesterday at the British Independent Film Awards looking so beautifully fresh faced and handsome…and what also sucks is that he doesn't crank out sh-t movie after sh-t movie several times a year so seeing him on screen is few and far between too.

The search for the Xindi superweapon was a series of events lasting nearly a year, from March 2153 to February 2154, involving Enterprise (NX-01)'s attempt to save Earth from the Xindi.
Preemptive strikeIn March 2153, acting on intelligence provided by the Guardians, the Xindi launched a surprise attack on Earth. The Xindi, who had been without a homeworld since the 2030s, had been informed by their protectors that in the 26th century humanity was going to destroy their new homeworld. Because of this, the Xindi-Primate scientist (and Xindi Council member) Degra had been working on a superweapon capable of destroying an entire planet for several years. (ENT: "The Expanse", "The Xindi" "Azati Prime", "The Council")
It was the first prototype of the weapon, a small one-man vessel crewed by a Xindi-Reptilian warrior, that carried out the attack on Earth. It utilized a powerful force beam to carve a swath of destruction from Florida to Venezuela, killing seven million people. The vessel subsequently self-destructed; portions of this probe were recovered by a Vulcan ship in Central Asia, due to an undetonated charge in the vessel's engine. (ENT: "The Expanse", "Azati Prime")
As a result of this attack, the Earth Starfleet recalled the NX-01 Enterprise, which was currently on a deep-space exploration mission in the Beta Quadrant. The tragedy on Earth was of a personal nature to one of Enterprise's crew; Commander Charles Tucker III's sister Elizabeth was killed in the attack. (ENT: "The Expanse")
Knowledge from the future
On the way back to Earth, however, Enterprise was intercepted by a Suliban Cabal fleet. Suliban soldiers borded Enterprise and seized Captain Jonathan Archer from the bridge, transporting him to see Silik, the head of the Cabal. Archer initially suspected Silik may have had something to do with the attack, but Silik took Archer to the temporal communications chamber to talk with his master from the future.
The Suliban benefactor told Archer that Earth had been attacked by the Xindi, operating on behalf of a new faction in the Temporal Cold War. He told Archer the reason for the attack: humanity was going to destroy the Xindi homeworld in the 26th century, and they wanted to stop this from happening. To do so, they were constructing a much larger superweapon capable of destroying all of Earth. He also gave Archer a set of coordinates, telling him the Xindi would be found there. Archer was exteremely skeptical, but the mysterious figure told Archer to quantum-date the wreckage of the probe. After this, the Suliban returned Archer to his place on Enterprise.
Enterprise returned to Earth on April 24, 2153, where it was greeted by Captain Carlos Ramirez and Intrepid. Once at Starfleet Command, Archer relayed the tale the Suliban benefactor had told him. Admiral Maxwell Forrest and Vulcan ambassador Soval were initially skeptical, but Archer proved at least part of the mysterious figure's story by showing a portion of the probe had been built in 2573.
Soval remained unconvinced. He revealed to Archer that the coordinates he had been given were those of the Delphic Expanse, a dangerous region of space. Trying to stop Archer from proceeding with his mission, he showed him footage from the Vulcan starship Vaankara. Archer and Forrest were unswayed by Soval, however, and Forrest authorized Enterprise's new mission. (ENT: "The Expanse")
The new mission begins
In preparation for its new mission, Enterprise was heavily upgraded. A new weapon developed during the ship's journey of exploration, the photonic torpedo, was added to its arsenal. A new command center was installed, replacing a storage bay for conduit housings. This center possessed an advanced computer system for coordinating any information Enterprise might find on the Xindi. An upgrade to the universal translator was also installed. (ENT: "The Expanse", "The Xindi")
Nine members of the crew opted to leave the ship before its new mission, though none of the senior staff did, not even Doctor Phlox, a Denobulan, or Subcommander T'Pol, a Vulcan, despite the fact that this mission supposedly did not directly concern them. T'Pol, in fact, was forced to resign from the Vulcan military in order to accompany Enterprise, as the Vulcan High Command had ordered her to return to Vulcan rather than accompany Enterprise into the Expanse. (ENT: "The Expanse")A significant addition to the crew was provided by General Casey at the request of Archer: a full contingent of Earth's most elite ground forces, the Military Assault Command Operations group (the MACOs). Enterprise's contingent was commanded by Major J. Hayes. Enterprise chief armory officer Lieutenant Malcolm Reed greatly resented the presence of the MACOs, believing that the need for this "extra muscle" reflected poorly on his security staff. (ENT: "The Expanse", "The Xindi")
Early days in the Expanse
It took Enterprise six weeks to travel from Earth to the Expanse (the ship arrived in August), and even then six more weeks passed while the ship began to fruitlessly comb the Expanse for any reference to the Xindi. The crew turned up only one lead: a freighter captain who had once taken a Xindi passenger to a trellium mining planet. During this time, Enterprise had its first encounter with the mysterious spatial anomalies that pepper the Expanse. (ENT: "The Expanse", "The Xindi")Enterprise arrived at the trellium mine in September. Captain Archer bartered with the mine's foreman and was permitted to see the Xindi Kessick in exchange for a quantity of liquefied platinum. Kessick, however, did not match the genetic reconstruction of what the corpose recovered from the probe might have looked like originally. Kessick was a Xindi-Primate; one of what he revealed to be five species of Xindi. Phlox determined that the different Xindi races shared over 99.5% percent of their functionally important DNA, making them more similar than humans and chimpanzees.
Kessick was killed during while trying to help Archer and Tucker escape the mine (they were rescued by the MACOs), but with his dying words he managed to communicate the coordinates of the Xindi homeworld. Arriving at the coordinates, however, Enterprise found nothing more than a debris field; the planet had been destroyed approximately 120 years ago. With no further leads at that point, Enterprise set a course for deeper into the Expanse. (ENT: "The Xindi")Enterprise next entered the Orassin distortion field, where it began to experience ever-increasing amounts of anomalies. After being incapacitated by one, Enterprise was boarded by Osaarian pirates, who raided the vessel for valuable supplies. Following the trail of the Osaarian ship, Enterprise discovered a massive cloaked sphere generating waves of gravimetric energy; it was this sphere that was responsible for all the anomalies nearby. Enterprise managed to recover its missing valuables from a cache inside the sphere. It also managed to download a Xindi database from the Osaarians, who had in turn acquired it from a Xindi-Arboreal ship they had pirated. (ENT: "The Xindi", "Anomaly")
Enterprise followed the trail of the ship in the database as far as the Loque'ueque homeworld, but turned up no useful information. Shortly thereafter, Enterprise stopped at a deuterium station on Norellus, where Captain Archer spoke to a V'radian chemist named B'Rat Ud. Archer had learned from the Osaarians that the mineral trellium-D could be used for protection against the anomalies in the Expanse, and was interested in acquiring some for Enterprise. Archer arranged to rendezvous with B'Rat at his shop on the Xanthan homeworld in a few days. (ENT: "Anomaly", "Extinction", "Rajiin")
First encounters with the XindiArriving at the Xanthan bazaar, Commander Tucker acquired the formula for synthesizing trellium-D from B'Rat in exchange for spices from Chef's galley. While Archer was at the bazaar, he was accosted by a dealer in sex-slaves named Zjod. Archer refused to buy any, but as he left, one of them (Rajiin) ran after him, and Archer assisted in her escape. Archer offered to transport Rajiin to her home planet of Oran'taku, but she abused his hospitality, taking biometric scans of many of the crew using her telepathic abilities.
When Archer realized what she was doing, he had her locked in the brig, an action which precipitated Enterprise's first encounter with the Xindi. Two Xindi-Reptilian ships attacked Enterprise, and a strike team from one boarded the ship and recovered Rajiin despite a valiant defense by the MACOs. It turned out that Rajiin was a Xindi plant, compiling information so the Xindi could build a bioweapon as an alternate method of destroying humanity. (ENT: "Rajiin")
Enterprise continued deeper into the Expanse, still searching for a way to a acquire trellium-D, as B'Rat Ud's directions had proved useless. The ship discovered a trellium asteroid field, and Commander Tucker and Ensign Travis Mayweather were successful in mining enough trellium to line the hull. However, the discovery of the Vulcan starship Seleya in the field showed that trellium causes Vulcans to undergo mental collapse; because of the threat to T'Pol, Archer elected not to line Enterprise's hull with trellium and had the material placed in a biohazard locker. Later on, however, the hull of Shuttlepod 1 would be lined with trellium to enable it to take detailed scans of spheres. (ENT: "Rajiin", "Impulse", "Exile")Following a tip from the telepath Tarquin, Enterprise arrived at a Xindi-Arboreal colony in October. This colony was home to a kemocite refining facility run by Gralik Durr; the kemocite mined here had been used in the probe and in fact, Degra was shortly to visit the colony to pick up his final shipment. Archer explained the situation to Gralik, who was shocked that his people would try to destroy a planet after what had happened to Xindus; he told Archer of the sixth Xindi species, the Avians. Gralik sabotaged the kemocite shipment, and T'Pol and Hoshi Sato altered a canister's radiolytic signature to allow Enterprise to track it. (ENT: "Exile", "The Shipment")
Visit to 2004
In November 2153 (after Enterprise had encounters with a lost human tribe and a polaric field), Captain Archer was once again contacted by "Crewman" Daniels, an operative in the Temporal Cold War who had assisted Enterprise on a couple of previous occasions. Daniels informed Archer that the Xindi attack on Earth was the result of a temporal incursion whose effects had not yet reached his own time, so he would be unable to assist in the search for the superweapon. (ENT: "North Star", "Similitude", "Carpenter Street")
Daniels did, however, bring word that three Xindi were present in the year 2004 on Earth, where they had been operating for two months. Daniels sent Archer and T'Pol backwards in time to deal with the threat. Archer and T'Pol discovered that Xindi-Reptilian scientists were assembling a bioweapon to wipe out humanity in the past; later information would show that after the Rajiin incident the Xindi Council had banned further research into the bioweapon and that the Guardians had taken the biologist Damron and his team into the past to covertly complete their work. Archer and T'Pol successfully stopped the bioweapon from being deployed and returned to 2004. (ENT: "Carpenter Street", "The Forgotten")
At the Calindra systemIn December, Enterprise finally managed to reacquire the radiolytic signature of Gralik's kemocite shipment. Degra was testing a second prototype in the Calindra system, but as Enterprise approached the location, it was nearly disabled by a dense anomaly field. Enterprise was rescued by the Kumari, an Andorian vessel under the commander of Shran. Shran pledged help in finding the weapon; when the Andorian Imperial Guard had heard of the attack on Earth, the Kumari had been dispatched to assist Enterprise and tracked the vessel through the Expanse with its faster warp drive. (ENT: "Proving Ground")
The Kumari and Enterprise (after witnessing a failed test of the weapon; the failure no doubt caused by the sabotaged kemocite) were able to work together to steal the prototype weapon. The Andorians attempted to make off with it for themselves for use as a deterrent in their conflict with the Vulcans, but Captain Archer triggered its self-destruct rather than let the Andorians keep it. The Kumari subsequently returned to Andoria, but Enterprise remained in the system to investigate further. Degra's ship was detected in the system, examining the effects of the test, and he and his assistants were captured by Enterprise personnel. (ENT: "Proving Ground", "Stratagem")
Doctor Phlox wiped Degra's memories and through an elaborate subterfuge, Archer was able to convice Degra that the two had spent years together in a Xindi-Insectoid prison after the destruction of Earth. Archer managed to get Degra to reveal the coordinates of the Azati Prime system, where the weapon was being built. Degra and his assistants were placed back on their ship, their memories wiped again, and none of them the wiser that anything had ever happened. (ENT: "Stratagem")
Journey to Azati Prime
Enterprise's journey to Azati Prime took some time, as the Earth vessel was of course not equipped with the subspace corridors Xindi vessels used to move quickly across the Expanse. During this journey, Enterprise discovered a mysterious alien adrift in a small pod in a transdimensional disturbance; the crew quickly discovered he was somehow related to the builders of the spheres. The alien was dying as he could not survive in the conditions of our universe. (ENT: "Harbinger")
Back in November, Enterprise had encountered a species called the Triannons who worshipped the Makers of the spheres. They claimed that the Makers were using the spheres and the anomalies they generated to reshape the Expanse; given the discovery of this "test subject," it appeared that the Triannons had been partially right. The alien attempted to sabotage Enterprise before disintegrating entirely; before he did, he revealed a link between the Xindi and the Sphere Builders, claiming his people would triumph when Earth was destroyed. (ENT: "Chosen Realm", "Harbinger")
Enterprise negotiated another transdimensional disturbance in January; afterwards it came upon the crash site of a Xindi-Insectoid ship. The crew recovered a shuttle from the wreckage; it was brought into Enterprise's launch bay. (ENT: "Doctor's Orders", "Hatchery")
Showdown with the XindiIn February 2154, Enterprise at long last slipped into the outskirts of the Azati Prime system, behind a planetoid. Using the stolen Insectoid shuttle, Tucker and Mayweather were able to determine that the superweapon was being built underwater on Azati Prime. Captain Archer concocted a plan to destroy it: he would take the Insectoid shuttle in, loaded with photonic torpedoes, and blow it up.
Before he could do this, however, Daniels returned, whisking Archer away to the Battle of Procyon V aboard the Enterprise-J in the 26th century. He revealed that at this time the Sphere Builders were making a push to invade the Milky Way Galaxy, but at this battle the forces of the United Federation of Planets defeated them, pushing them back into their transdimensional realm. The Sphere Builders forsaw that these events would occur, which is why they were attempting to manipulate the Xindi into destroying Earth: no Earth, no Federation.
Daniels tried to persuade Archer not to go forward with his plan, but rather pursue a diplomatic solution, as the Xindi needed to be at peace with humanity for in the future they were Federation members. Archer was not persuaded; he went ahead with his plan anyway and was captured by security forces under the command of Councilor Dolim. Archer, using information he had acquired during his subterfuge at Calindra, secured an audience with Degra and managed to communicate Daniels' story. (ENT: "Azati Prime")Meanwhile, Enterprise came under heavy attack by Xindi forces, causing massive amounts of damage to the vessel. Fortunately, Degra managed to force the Xindi Council to order Dolim to call off the attack, and he secured the return of Archer to his ship, arranging a secret rendezvous in three day's time so Archer could show him evidence that the Xindi were being manipulated by the Sphere Builders. (ENT: "Azati Prime", "Damage")
Unfortunately, the ship's warp coil had been damaged during the attack, rendering the ship unable to travel at warp speeds. It would never be able to reach the rendezvous in time. Enterprise was assisted in its repair efforts by an Illyrian vessel that had been disabled by an anomaly field; Enterprise helped the Illyrians in turn. They were unwilling, however, to part with their warp coil because not having it would mean a three-year journey home. Believing the rendezvous with Degra neccessary to the survival of humanity, Archer and the MACOs boarded the Illyrian craft and stole their warp coil. (ENT: "Damage")
Convincing the Council
Enterprise rendezvoused with Degra as well as Arboreal councilor Jannar behind the cloaking barrier of the sphere, where Archer showed them evidence of the Guardians' treachery: the bioweapon recovered from 2004, the bodies of Damron and his associates, scans of the Sphere Builder test subject, the ship's database on the spheres, etc. Degra thought that Archer deserved a chance to bring his case before the Council and arranged a rendezvous on the other side of a subspace corridor in the Kovaalan nebula. Degra went so far as to destroy a Reptilian vessel trying to bring him back to the Council. (ENT: "The Forgotten")Enterprise traversed the corridor not without difficulty; the ship battled the Kovaalans and very nearly traveled to 2037, but eventually made it to the rendezvous early. Degra brought Archer before the Xindi Council, where he presented his case. The Arboreals and Primates were swayed, but the Reptilians and the Insectoids were so outraged by the presence of Archer that they walked out. Archer still needed the support of the Aquatics to obtain a delay on the superweapon launch; he obtained it when he persuaded Councilor Kiaphet Amman'sor to vote for it with a biometric hologram of the Sphere Builder test subject. However, an enraged Dolim murdered Degra and had the weapon stolen operating on instructions from a Sphere Builder who promised the Reptilians would be at the head of the Xindi in the future if they acted against Earth now. Dolim was assisted by the Insectoids. (ENT: "E²", "The Council")
Battle to save Earth
The weapon required launch codes from three of the five species to be armed; as he possessed only two of them, Dolim kidnapped Enterprise linguist Hoshi Sato and used Xindi neural parasites to force her to decrypt the third code. As the weapon could not arm while in flight, this delay allowed Archer to convene an alliance of Primates, Arboreals, and Aquatics to stop the weapon. Amman'sor promised her forces' support only when Archer promised Enterprise would try to disable the sphere network. (ENT: "The Council", "Countdown")
The combined assault team managed to destroy most of the superweapon's defensive forces, but thanks to Sphere Builder interference, the superweapon was able to enter a vortex for Earth, armed and ready, accompanied by a Reptilian and an Insectoid vessel. Hoshi Sato was rescued just before the weapon left, though Major Hayes died in the operation. (ENT: "Countdown")
The only ship capable of catching the superweapon in the vortex was Degra's, so Archer, Reed, Sato, Jannar, the other Xindi-Primate councilor, and a MACO strike team boarded the ship in pursuit. They caught up in Earth orbit, though not after the Xindi destroyed Yosemite 3 research post. Degra's lightly armed ship was no match for the Reptilian vessel guarding the weapon, however, and they could not get close enough to beam aboard. Luckily, Shran and the Kumari showed up at that moment to run interference for Degra's vessel; the Andorian ship had tracked them through the vortex. While the Kumari distracted Dolim, Archer and his team transported to the weapon. The MACOs killed all the Reptilians on board as Archer started the inversion sequence. Meanwhile, Dolim realized what the Kumari was doing and ordered his ship to return to the weapon. (ENT: "Countdown", "Zero Hour")
Archer's strike team transported back to Degra's ship, as Archer successfully overloaded the superweapon's reactor. However, a determined Commander Dolim transported to the weapon to reverse the damage. He engaged Archer in hand-to-hand combat as the weapon exploded around them. Meanwhile, the Kumari destroyed Dolim's vessel, leaving him with no way to get off. As the weapon continued to disintegrate, Archer placed an explosive charge on Dolim's back and blew him up. However, Archer was not able to transport off in time as the weapon exploded in Earth orbit. Degra's vessel returned to the Expanse to rendezvous with Enterprise. (ENT: "Zero Hour")
Meanwhile, Enterprise had been making good on Archer's promise to Amman'sor by using a deflector beam to damage one of the spheres' interspatial manifolds that allowed their subspace energy grid to hold together. Without energy, the spheres collaspsed in upon themselves, and the Expanse started to become normal space.
Enterprise met up with Degra's ship, and an Aquatic carrier returned Enterprise to Earth. However, as Enterprise approached Earth, it recieved no return signals from Starfleet. A shuttle sent down to San Francisco was attacked by P-51 Mustangs, a World War II fightercraft.
Meanwhile, Captain Jonathan Archer awoke in a Nazi field hosptial in the presence of an alien SS officer... (ENT: "Zero Hour")

The Department of Transportation says the 10th Street connector project in Greenville is moving along with the continued acquisition of property.
The new road will improve traffic flow, and officials say help spur economic development.
It will cut through Farmville Boulevard and West 10th Street, eliminating 150 homes and businesses.
The DOT says 55 homes and 95 businesses will be affected by this project.
Starting in October power will be cut off to businesses and houses that have already decided to move.
At this time, about 10 homes on Farmville Boulevard have already been gutted.
While the deadline for businesses to decide what they want to do isn't until November, some businesses, like Fusion Skate Park off West Tenth Street, have already closed their doors.
Other businesses, like Bob's Barber Shop, say they're moving, but say they're doing so at a cost.
The DOT says the construction on the estimated $22 million dollar project will break ground in February 2015.

Veterans and active duty military looking for civilian jobs had a chance to meet Wednesday with dozens of local employers looking to hire.
More than 35 businesses interviewed people in Jacksonville looking for careers outside the military.
Governor Beverly Perdue proclaimed this week "Hire A Veteran Week"--and this job fair made it easy for veterans like Roy Smith to see what jobs are available in the area. Smith says, "Looking for something steady because I'm working a lot of temporary jobs and that's just not paying the bills."
The Onlsow County Job Link center also opened the doors to the general public looking for work.
Employers were looking for firefighters, supervisors, highway patrol troopers, and border protection officers.

Pretty cool, nice looking hand work, have alittle rep for it
Hello, I am new to this forum and thought I would share a map I made.
This is a map I finished recently of the Bahamas and Caribbean Sea.
I hand drew and painted this map onto some specially prepared paper I made to look antiqued. I wanted it to look hand drawn and old. It was used as a prop in a theater production.
Hope you like

Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama – What Do They Believe?
Beliefnet looks at the religious beliefs of President Barack Obama and Presumptive Republican Nominee Mitt Romney. Both men have had to deal with misinformation about their beliefs, and we seek to clear the air by looking at the differences between traditional Christianity and Mormonism.
Mitt Romney's religious life began at birth. His parents were both devout Mormons, his mother was born in Utah and his father in a Mormon colony. The families' Mormon roots extend even further back, and it had a large effect on Mitt at an early age. Following a college age Mormon mission to France he attended Brigham Young, transferring from Stanford to the University. As an adult he became a lay leader, congregation head, and teacher. While presiding over congregations in Massachusetts he was known for balancing the conservative and liberal Mormon theologies throughout his ward. As a presidential candidate he has continued to give money to the church and serve in whatever capacity his schedule will allow.
President Barack Obama's upbringing in religion could not have been more different. Both his father and stepfather weren't involved in any kind of religion, while his mother was spiritual but not dedicated to any particular faith group. In his role as a community organizer President Obama became interested in religion after seeing how the churches he was working with impacted their community. He was baptized in 1988 at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. The President told Christianity Today that "I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe that that faith gives me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life." Following a lengthy church search after assuming the office, he now worships at the non-denominational Evergreen Chapel at Camp David, like President Bush before him.
Making a comparison between the religious beliefs of these two men presents interesting problems. Mitt Romney has been very public about his religious life, but his moderate stance on could place him out of the more conservative theological beliefs that I will be exploring in this article. That makes him a bit difficult to pin down within Mormonism. On the other hand, President Obama has been private about his beliefs. While clearly stating that he believes in the saving power of Jesus Christ and that he prays daily, he hasn't spoken of much beyond that. In both cases it is important to consider that they may differ from the traditional beliefs of each faith.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Marco Rubio, the fresh face from Florida chosen by Republicans to respond to the State of the Union address, sounded familiar party themes Tuesday, accusing President Barack Obama of stifling economic growth through an overreliance on taxes and spending.
The opportunity "to make it to the middle class or beyond, no matter where you start out in life, it isn't bestowed on us from Washington," Rubio said in his nationally broadcast remarks, but comes from "a vibrant economy."
That is something presidents in both parties, from John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan, have recognized, Rubio said.
"But President Obama? He believes it's the cause of our problems," Rubio said.
Speaking from the Capitol, Rubio repeated GOP calls for a constitutional balanced-budget amendment and an overhaul of the Medicare and Social Security programs, though he provided no specifics.
"Anyone who is in favor of leaving Medicare exactly the way it is right now is in favor of bankrupting it," Rubio said.
The roughly 15-minute speech provided a national platform for the freshman senator, 41, whose youth, Latino heritage and swing-state pedigree make him a leading presidential prospect for the embattled GOP.
While embracing what has been party orthodoxy for the past generation, Rubio did offer a few departures. He delivered his speech in both English and Spanish, the latter pre-recorded for broadcast. Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, also emphasized his working-class background.
Rubio said he lives in the same west Miami neighborhood where he grew up, surrounded by immigrants, retirees who count on Social Security and Medicare, and people who get up early and "go to work to pay the bills."
"My neighbors aren't millionaires," and said his opposition to Obama's agenda stems not from a desire "to protect the rich," he said. "I oppose (his) plans because I want to protect my neighbors."
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, another tea party favorite, delivered its formal response to the president. Speaking at Washington's National Press Club, Paul took aim at both major parties.
"Both parties have been guilty of spending too much, of protecting their sacred cows, of backroom deals in which everyone up here wins, but every taxpayer loses," Paul said.

Duplica's Ditto is not only Duplica's partner Pokémon, it is also her trademark Pokémon. It appeared in IL037: Ditto's Mysterious Mansion.
BiographyDitto is Duplica's partner Pokémon. It can copy any Pokémon it goes up against. At first it had a slight problem: Every time it copied a Pokémon, Ditto always kept its own face. It was captured by Team Rocket to be transformed into a Dratini. However, it has a little fun at Jessie's expense. After being threatened, it molded its face into Meowth's when it imitated him, a perfect match. After a touching moment, Team Rocket "gave" Ditto back but Duplica could tell it wasn't Ditto. After getting it back, Duplica and Ditto said their goodbyes to Ash and co.
It appeared again in JE058: Imitation Confrontation, along with Mini-Dit, its "little brother".

The Massachusetts pharmacy board's director has been fired for ignoring a complaint that a company linked to a deadly meningitis outbreak was shipping drugs in bulk, in violation of its state license.
The Colorado pharmacy board complained about the New England Compounding Center in July, before the third of three batches of tainted steroids linked to the outbreak was shipped.
NECC was authorized only to fill prescriptions for specific patients.
State officials said director James D. Coffey forwarded the complaint to the board's attorney, Susan Manning, who also failed to act. Coffey has been fired and Manning placed on administrative leave.
A state health and human services spokesman said neither Manning nor Coffey notified the state Department of Public Health about the complaint.
The outbreak has spread to 19 states and killed 31 people.

Synchrophasors and containing blackouts
After nearly a decade, situational awareness still not adequate
Smarter grids are on the way.
In one case, however, the smarts hadn't arrived soon enough to have prevented the regional blackout of last Sept. 8, which led to power losses for 2.7 million people in Arizona and Southern California.
The causes of that event and the lessons learned were presented yesterday in a conference call with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), charged with analyzing the causes and making recommendations. While the blackout's myriad causes—inadequate system design, operations scenarios that didn't recognize the potentially disruptive role of low-voltage lines in the bulk power transmission system, poor communication between grid players, other technical and human failures—were complex, the role of phasor measurement units (PMUs) jumped out at me.
In this event, PMUs successfully recorded the origin and spread of the blackout on a split-second timeline. But they have not yet been adequately integrated and their data communicated to all players in a manner that would have limited the September blackout. The good news is that, at least in the Western Interconnection, that work is proceeding apace and due for completion next spring.
Looking back, we've done a fair amount of reporting on PMUs and their promise of situational awareness and the role that both can play in limiting blackouts. These three links provide solid background in the subject.
"Situational Awareness Requires Data Visualization Tools," by Intelligent Utility magazine editor Kate Rowland ran in March/April 2011.
"The Wide Area View: Synchrophasors," remains a webcast available on demand. (Click on "View This Resource Now" at the bottom of the linked Web page.)
"Invisible Smarts: Let's Talk Synchrophasors," by yours truly.
Strategically placed PMUs can record and transmit aspects of system vulnerability up to 30 times per second (about 120 times previous capabilities) to grid operators, theoretically in time for operators to contain or mitigate a blackout. An effort is underway to integrate this capability into the nation's grid interconnections by the North American Synchrophasor Initiative (NASPI) and, here in the West, by the Western Electricity Coordinating Council's Western Interconnection Synchrophasor Program, or WECC's WISP.
The role that situational awareness could play in limiting blackouts was established in the analysis that followed the massive 2003 blackout in the Northeast. That analysis took years. By 2009, the WECC WISP was underway but this advancement in situational awareness will take time (four years) and money ($108 million) and integration (ongoing) and we're on schedule but we're not quite there yet. (More on the WECC WISP below.)
So I asked NERC Senior Vice President Dave Nevius, one of the two participants on yesterday's call, whether the intended outcome of the WECC WISP, for instance, would have provided the situational awareness to not just piece together what happened after the fact, but also alerted grid operators in time to prevent the blackout from spreading as it did.
The real answer, obviously, is technical and, possibly, unknown. But Nevius gamely took a crack at it.
A "substantial number" of PMUs already have been installed and "additional PMUs would have helped," Nevius said. You can "never have enough PMUs," he added. (The gentleman said the same for transmission capacity.) The goal for the NASPI (and, no doubt, the WECC WISP) is just that: situational awareness that allows real-time intervention to keep blackouts from spreading. Left unspoken: we're not there yet.
So, for readers who want to know about when we'll be "there," here's the latest update from the WECC WISP website:
"WECC is meeting the project's key milestones. It has completed data center construction in Vancouver, Wash., and in Loveland, Colo.
"In addition to detecting electric system disruptions, synchrophasor technology can help companies see and manage intermittent renewable resources—and to deploy the ancillary services when necessary.
"In December 2011, the team began testing phasor data communications, system integration and software application functionality; and some partners have started transmitting synchrophasor data. WISP's full implementation phase will take place beginning summer 2012, with training, business readiness and system cutover planning. The implementation phase is scheduled to end with the completion of the system cutover by March 2013."
(Editor: An alert reader at the Bonneville Power Administration pointed out that the WISP's substation PMUs will be installed by summer 2013. The system per se is not expected to go live until two years later.)
Keep in mind that the WECC WISP has eight original utility participants and another 10 have joined the effort, all of whom pour matching funds into a project half paid by federal taxpayers through the stimulus program. Here, potentially, is one of the best uses of our tax dollars in grid modernization. Of course, the proof is in the pudding.
To return to our point of departure, the FERC/NERC analysis of last September's blackout was in the nature of an enquiry, rather than an investigation. (An investigation that assigns responsibility, spokespersons said in response to repeated questioning by reporters, is confidential unless or until responsibility is assigned and fines are levied.)
Meanwhile, it occurred to me that one of the smart grid technologies furthest away from the customer—yet critical to reliability, one of the customer's two top concerns (the other: cost)—is expensive, time-consuming and (thankfully) in the process of implementation. Here in the West, the real test comes after next spring, when the full potential of coordinated PMUs will be brought to bear on future events. Big stuff, coming soon. Can't wait.

The Challenges of Long-Distance Transmission
If memory serves me correctly, this is at least the third time in the last 15 years when a transmission-related incident in the western interconnection has cascaded into a widespread blackout. In all three cases, easily avoidable human errors were at fault. It raises several questions:
- Do the large interconnections between load centers in the west make the grid more or less reliable? They were built primarily for seasonal exchanges and I'm thinking they actually make the grid less reliable.
- Is supply adequacy as big a reliability issue as some think, or would some of the money currently being spent to maintain generous reserve margins be better spent on operator training, better tools, and better automation?
- Should state regulators finally stand up to utilities and allow installations of distributed resources by any consumer without onerous exit fees and other conditions that end up making distributed generation too expensive for consumers?

Animation fanatics shouldn't miss this 2-disc collection of 32 classic cartoons. That these films are considered "rarities" is relative – while not as well-known as Disney's storied feature-length films, or shorts starring Mickey, Donald, or Goofy, viewers "of a certain age" surely have some of these cartoons burned into their brains.
Among them, 1958's Paul Bunyan and 1953's Ben and Me left an indelible impression on me after several screenings of 16mm prints in elementary school classrooms. The catchy renditions of nursery rhymes in 1957's The Truth About Mother Goose and jazz interpretations of children's stories in 1956's Jack and Old Mac were floating around in my memory banks as well.
Still, there are quite a few surprises in store, such as Smokey Bear's cameo appearance in 1956's In the Bag, and the stop-motion animation in 1959's Noah's Ark (which could be mistaken for later production work by Rankin-Bass). Throw in some shorts from the silent era (the "Alice" series, which blends animation and live action), a WWII propaganda piece (1943's Chicken Little), and a couple of Academy Award winners (1938's Ferdinand the Bull and 1953's Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom) - along with documentaries, audio commentaries, art galleries, and a whole lot more - and you have a winning collection which, despite its title, deserves a wide audience.
