Feds arrest woman 'for setting up fake donation website while posing as aunt of six-year-old Sandy Hook victim'
A New York City woman has been arrested after federal authorities said she tried to scam donors by posing as a relative of one of the children killed in the Newtown massacre.
Nouel Alba, 37, was arrested Thursday and charged with lying to FBI agents.
Investigators said she used her Facebook account, telephone calls and text messages to seek donations for what she called a 'funeral fund' for six-year-old Noah Pozner. Instead, money went to a PayPal account she controlled.
Opportunistic: Nouel Alba, left, was arrested by federal officials for allegedly collecting donations while posing as an aunt of six-year-old Noah Pozner, right, who was among the 26 people killed in the Newtown massacre
Pozner was among the 20 children and six adults gunned down by Adam Lanza inside the Sandy Hook Elementary School December 14.
Alba denied seeking the donations when she was contacted by FBI agents investigating charity scams related to the shooting, and also falsely claimed to have immediately refunded any donations that she received.
Alba, of The Bronx, appeared Thursday in federal court in Hartford and was released on $50,000 bond.
If convicted, Alba could face up to five years in prison and fined up to $250,000.
U.S. Attorney for Connecticut David Fein said Alba's arrest should be a lesson to other would-be con artists seeking to prey on the victims' families because authorities are on the lookout for such scams.
'It is unconscionable to think that the families of the victims in Newtown, and a sympathetic community looking to provide them some sort of financial support and comfort, have become the targets of criminals,' stated FBI Special Agent in Charge Mertz.
'Today's arrest is a stern message that the FBI will investigate and bring to justice those who perpetrate Internet fund raising scams, especially those scams that exploit the most vulnerable in their time of shared sorrow.'
According to a criminal complaint filed against Alba cited by the Hartford Courant, within hours of the deadly shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, the Bronx resident posted on her Facebook page that Noah Pozner was her nephew.
The following day, she wrote on her account: 'We've set up a funeral fund for my brother and families. Anyone willing to make a donation can make one either through [PayPal] or [deposit to a checking account]. We like to thank everyone for your prayers. We ask that you continue to not just pray for us but for the families who have lost their kid …'
Alba provided her contact information to several people who had expressed interest in making a donation, among them an unnamed New York resident.
That person later told federal officials that Alba claimed to have gone to Sandy Hook to identify her nephew. However, no family members were allowed inside the school since it was considered a crime scene at the time.
Setting the record: Noah's uncle Alexis Haller told CNN's Anderson Cooper about how he was upset that people were taking advantage of his nephew's passing
Different story: When confronted, the woman who allegedly sent out a solicitation email said that her enemies in the crafting community had done it to slander her
a series of text messages the 37-year-old exchanged with the would-be
donor, she claimed to have met President Obama when he visited Newtown
to attend a prayer service.
According to the complaint, Alba said that she did not stay to hear the president's speech because emotionally, she could not deal with it. She wrote: 'Tomorrow I'll see [Noah] in a casket and that will be hard enough to handle.'
Referring to Obama in another messages, Alba allegedly stated: 'I'm sure he'll give a good speech. He met with us, hugged us, even cried with us. He's really down to earth.'
The New York resident donated money that went into Alba's account, and so did another person.
This fall, the police in Aurora, Colo., accused a local woman of trying to profit off the deadly movie theater rampage by a gunman who killed 12 people.
The woman told people that she was the caretaker for a little girl named Kadence, whose mother had died in the shooting.
The police said the child was made up.
The scam unraveled when a donor got a phone call from what seemed to be a woman imitating a child's voice.
Noah Pozner's relatives found out about the bogus solicitation when a friend received an email asking for money for the family.
Someone they didn't know was asking for donations in Noah's memory, claiming that they'd send any cards, packages and money collected to his parents and siblings.
An official-looking website had been set up, with Noah's name as the address, even including petitions on gun control.
Noah's uncle, Alexis Haller, called on law enforcement authorities to seek out 'these despicable people.'
'These scammers,' he said, 'are stealing from the families of victims of this horrible tragedy.'
Poorly punctuated, the website gave details about Noah, his funeral and his family. It directed people to send donations to an address in the Bronx, one that the Pozners had never heard of.
It listed a New York City phone number to text with questions about how to donate. When a reporter texted that number Wednesday, a reply came advising the donation go to the United Way.
The Pozner family had the noahpozner.com website transferred to its ownership.
Victoria Haller, Noah's aunt, emailed the person who had originally registered the name. The person, who went by the name Jason Martin, wrote back that he'd meant 'to somehow honor Noah and help promote a safer gun culture. I had no ill intentions I assure you.'
On December 21, Today aired a segment that included an interview with Alba conducted by NBC's Jeff Rossen through the front door of her Bronx home.
Mourning: Noah Pozner's mother Veronika is seen leaving her son's funeral on Monday
During the interview, Alba denied posing on Facebook as the aunt of Noah Pozner or asking for donations on his family's behalf.
never sent any message on Facebook,' Alba told Rossen, adding that her
Facebook page features her PayPal information and bank routing number
because she sells things online.
CNN's Anderson Cooper also dedicated a segment of his evening broadcast to the fraud, and the network had sent a producer to the address in the Bronx and confronted Alba.
She painted a convoluted picture of the scenario, as an email had been sent- using her email address- soliciting donations for the Pozner family.
Alba had also had a website set up collecting funds for victims of Hurricane Sandy, adding to questions about her veracity.
She told CNN that she had never sent that email but, as an active member of a crafting community that makes Victorian frames, she has a number of enemies who may have sent the email out to slander her.
She said that she has received about $300 in donations but also said that she returned those funds. Cooper dismissed her explanation as 'the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard'.
Noah's uncle Alexis Haller said that he has since called the FBI to report the fraudulent site, and he has since bought all of the domain names related to his dead nephew's name to make sure that no similar scams are easily enacted.
Emotional: A friend is seen leaving Noah's funeral, which was one of the first held after the tragic shooting
'Instead of doing things with our family, I'm running around trying to protect my family,' Mr Heller said.
He said the experience 'should serve as a warning signal to other victims' families. We urge people to watch out for these frauds on social media sites.'
The fraudulent site has since been taken down, and inquiries are directed to noahpozner.org, the true site run by the Pozner family.
Tellingly, the address associated with the site is in Newtown.

Taking on the honorific MBE as part of his name in everyday use, Shonibare plays with the ambiguities and contradictions of his attitude toward the Establishment and its legacies of colonialism and class.

A girlfriend who also had a D&C at 10 weeks had smooth surgery with no complications. About a week and a half later, she got a HORRIBLE pain (she said it was worse than labor wtih her DD). She dropped to the ground, ambulance to hospital, etc. Her Dr. said that most poeple will have small contractions for a while while their uterus goes back to normal. In her case, her body had a delayed reaction to the m/c, and did everything quickly/at once.
Can you feel things going back to normal/contractions? I'm having very little pain/cramping, so I'm wondering if this is OK or if my body is still "missing the m/c."

Prose Media has always thought that storytelling is a major part of content. It makes you more relateable, and it makes your content more engaging for your audience. Here's one of our posts on the same topic: http://blog.prosemedia.com/the-art-of-writing-content/

Thanks Robin, really appreciate it. I think the key to understanding a brand's emotional core is to first know the brand mission (I wrote a piece on this here). Once you have a concise understanding of the core purpose of the brand, you can then focus on highlighting that in your marketing efforts, including storytelling. That, I would suggest, is the first step towards finding stories that resonate - identifying those that reflect a brand's purpose and place in the consumers' world. In the case of Guinness, the listings I can find show it was created by BBDO New York, so I'd think they came up with the creative, based on client brief - but that brief would be reflection of their purpose.

Andrew, wonderful post. What are the most successful strategies for getting to your brand's emotional core? For example, how do you think Guiness arrived at this wonderful story? Did their agency find it for them?

New Delhi, Sep 23 Zayed Khan couldn't have been a happier man. Just days before the release of his debut production 'Love Breakups Zindagi', the actor has become a father for the second time!
Zayed's wife Malaika gave birth to their second baby boy in Mumbai Thursday night, the actor's sister, jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali confirmed to IANS.

The couple, who has a three-year-old son named Zidaan, has named the newborn as Aariz.
'Yes, that's the name they have thought of Aariz Khan,' added Ali.
Zayed's close friend, designer Manav Gangwani too couldn't contain his excitement and packed his bags for Mumbai as soon as he heard the news.

ARLnow Celebrates Sixth Anniversary — Six years ago today, ARLnow.com launched with a brief post about an upcoming snow storm and an early mission statement.
In Rosslyn: WJLA Stays, Politico Implodes — In Rosslyn yesterday, there were two big pieces of local media news in the same building, on the same day. First, it was announced that Sinclair Broadcast Group signed a five-year, 100,000 square foot lease that will keep WJLA and NewsChannel 8 in the 1000/1100 Wilson Blvd twin towers. Later, it was revealed that Politico — which renewed its lease in the same complex in 2014 — would soon be losing CEO Jim VandeHei, chief political reporter Mike Allen and three senior executives. [Washington Business Journal, Huffington Post]
Arlington OKs Gondola Study Contribution — Arlington County will kick in $35,000 to study the feasibility of a gondola running from Rosslyn to Georgetown. Some County Board members expressed skepticism of the plan, though the county's economic development director said it would at minimum give local hotels and tourism a boost. [Washington Post]
Apartment Complex Deemed Historic District — The Arlington County Board yesterday voted to designate Cambridge Courts — "a garden apartment complex built from rationed materials to house defense workers during World War II" — a local historic district. The apartment complex along Route 50 will now be protected from redevelopment. [Arlington County]
New Rules for Bus-Only Lanes — New rules have been approved for the Crystal City Potomac Yard Transitway.

The Arlington County Board on Thursday will consider joining a partnership to study the feasibility of a gondola running from Rosslyn to Georgetown.
County Manager Mark Schwartz is recommending approval of the multi-party partnership, which calls for Arlington County to contribute $40,000 to the study's expected $250,000 cost.
Among the parties to the proposed Memorandum of Understanding are the Georgetown Business Improvement District, which first floated the gondola idea, along with the District of Columbia Dept. of Transportation, the Rosslyn Business Improvement District, Georgetown University and property owners JBG, Gould Properties and Vornado.
The Georgetown BID would be the biggest contributor to the study, with $75,000 pledged. The other parties, besides Arlington, are slated to contribute between $35,000 and $5,000.
County staff said that an aerial gondola system running above the Potomac could draw more visitors to Rosslyn and could help ease vehicle and pedestrian traffic on the congested Key Bridge. Georgetown is the largest employment center in the District without a Metro system — more than 22,000 people work there, including 10,000 at the university — and the walk from the Rosslyn Metro station across the bridge is about a kilometer, a chilly and windy 0.6 miles in the winter.
"A more efficient and reliable transit connection between Rosslyn and Georgetown would benefit both communities socially and economically," county staff wrote.
The county's Transportation Commission voted 6-3-2 in favor of the study. Opponents worried that "the primary purpose of a gondola would be for tourism rather than for transport."
"The Commission is of multiple minds on this proposal," wrote Transportation Commission Chair Chris Slatt in a letter to County Board Chair Libby Garvey. "There is a fear that the gondola proposal does not solve a real transportation need, and many commissioners fear that even contributing to a study will provide substantive fodder for transit-naysayers."
The gondola study is expected to take seven months to complete and could be complete by October 2016.

(Updated at 11:55 p.m.) Two suspects are in custody after leading Arlington County Police on a vehicle pursuit through the District of Columbia, following a shooting near the Pentagon City mall.
The alleged road rage incident happened around 3:10 p.m., at the 15th Street South exit of the mall's parking lot. NBC 4 reported that a driver was having trouble using a credit card to exit from one of the gates. The driver was trying to get the car behind to let them reverse out, when someone in that car fired a gunshot in the air.
Witnesses called 911 and reported the shooting, describing the suspect vehicle as white in color with D.C. tags
A car matching the description given to police was spotted by an officer on I-395. That led to a pursuit across the 14th Street Bridge into D.C., near the National Mall, and back on I-395 before ending at 3rd and F Streets NW, near the Third Street Tunnel, where the suspects bailed out and took off running.
Arlington police, aided by D.C. police, were able to chase and apprehend both suspects, according to ACPD spokesman Lt. Kip Malcolm.
Reginald Carroll, a 21-year-old D.C. resident, has been charged with willfully discharging a firearm in public and felony eluding. Calvin Pelzer, also 21 years old and from D.C., has been charged with discharging a firearm and obstruction of justice.
The suspects threw a gun out of the window during the vehicle pursuit, Malcolm said. It was recovered along I-395 near the GW Parkway.
Arlington County Police normally don't engage in car chases, but department policy specifies that such pursuits are authorized for violent crimes involving firearms, "for the safety of the community," according to Malcolm.
No one was reported injured in the shooting. As of early Friday evening, investigators were still looking for bullet casings and other evidence near the scene. They're also trying to find other witnesses as well as the other driver involved, who fled after the shooting.
"The investigation is ongoing," Malcolm said.
Senator Pays Tribute to Arlington Dad Who Died in China — Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) yesterday paid tribute on the Senate floor to an Arlington resident who died suddenly while on a business trip to China. Nathan Graham died of a "random infection," Hatch said. He was 37 and a father of four. A former Senate staffer, Graham was born and raised in Utah and was a volunteer bishop in the Crystal City LDS church. Friends are raising money to help support Graham's family. [Sen. Orrin Hatch, Facebook]
Support for Theater Troupe Blasted By Senator — Sen. James Lankford (R-Oklahoma) cited Crystal City physical theater company Synetic as an example of federal waste this month. Why? Because the National Endowment of the Arts has given the troupe a total of $61,000 since 2000 to, as Lankford characterized it, cut the English language out of Shakespeare productions. A local letter to the editor writer, meanwhile, says that a better example of federal waste is the fact that Oklahoma receives approximately $1.31 from the feds for every dollar it pays in taxes. [Washington Post]
Constitutional Officers Sworn In — Arlington's five incumbent constitutional officers were all reelected by voters last month.

Millennials to Impact Local Housing Market — In Arlington, home ownership is unaffordable for most of the Millennial generation, but that doesn't mean that younger people want to stay in rental apartments and group homes forever.

(Updated at 11:00 a.m.) Traffic backups caused by a barricade situation in downtown D.C. have spilled over into Arlington.
In Rosslyn, traffic on Lynn Street approaching the Key Bridge is backed up all the way to the Iwo Jima memorial.
The Memorial Bridge, Route 50, I-66 and I-395 are all slow and congested approaching the city, even at 10 a.m. Heavy traffic has also been reported on large portions of the GW Parkway and Washington Blvd near the Pentagon.
Reports out of D.C. suggest a mentally unstable person, possibly armed with a high-powered rifle, is barricaded in a downtown office building. Police have closed a multiple block portion of downtown near the Farragut North Metro station to pedestrians and vehicles.
As of 11 a.m., the suspect was reported to be in custody.

Romo the dog, a long time beloved fixture of the Adams Morgan neighborhood in D.C., is settling into his new life in Arlington.
The 150 pound bull mastiff/pit bull mix became well known in D.C. for his habit of sleeping near an open window in owner Tiffany Scourby's condo. Passersby took to the droopy dog, and a Facebook page and Twitter account dedicated to Romo soon sprang up.
Romo, along with Tiffany and her husband Peter Scourby, moved to the Forest Hills townhouse community in the Arlington Ridge neighborhood earlier this summer. So far, Peter says Romo has taken to his new life outside of the city.
"He's enjoying the space more," said Scourby. "We went from 1,000 square foot condo to 3,000 square feet."
Although Scourby says there aren't any windows in the new home with quite the foot traffic of Romo's Adams Morgan haunt, the pooch has been given a bed by a window and has scoped out prime napping spots around his new home.
The couple says that like their dog, they are enjoying the newfound space Arlington affords.
"I'm a Virginia boy," said Scourby. "I like the 'burbs, and I wanted space. There's a country club down the street, and I can see the Washington Monument from my house."
Romo's Facebook page has more than 3,000 likes and counting, and since moving the couple has discovered that some of their new neighbors are long-time Romo fans.
"When we first got here, a neighbor we hadn't met yet said, 'Oh my God, that looks like that Romo dog!,'" said Scourby. "When we told her it was him, she just screamed. Apparently she was one of his followers on Facebook."
The move to Arlington won't be the only change for Romo this summer. Peter says Tiffany is eight months pregnant and is due this September.
"[Romo's] gonna have a little brother soon," he said.

(Updated at 2:55 p.m.) A 26-year-old Arlington woman was killed in Northeast D.C. early Sunday morning, when the driver of a car in which she was a passenger slammed into a parked tractor trailer.
Nancy Tinoza, an immigrant from Zimbabwe, was killed in the collision at about 3:12 a.m. on the 3400 block of Eastern Avenue NE, according to the Metropolitan Police Department. She was pronounced dead after being transported to the Washington Medical Center's trauma center.
The driver of the car and another passenger were also hospitalized, and after officers interviewed the driver, Momodu Bello, they arrested him and charged him with second-degree murder.
According to the criminal complaint filed in D.C. Superior Court, Bello, a 35-year-old Fort Washington, Md. resident, was intoxicated and speeding on Eastern Avenue, which has a 25 mph speed limit. According to police, Bello said he had two beers and a shot of Hennessy at Club Mango in Bladensburg, Md., before driving, and "thought that the truck was moving."
Bello was driving a Volkswagen Passat, which "submarined" under the truck during the collision. Tinoza suffered "massive blunt force trauma" to the head and was rendered unconscious.
"[A witness] saw the defendant had dragged [Tinoza] out of the vehicle by her arms and began shaking [her] violently when she did not respond to the defendant's attempts to speak with her," the complaint reads. "At one point, the defendant dropped the unconscious decedent, causing her head to strike the asphalt pavement."
Bello was denied bond at an arraignment hearing yesterday, District of Columbia U.S. Attorney spokesman Bill Miller said in an email. His first preliminary hearing is on Friday.
Tinoza worked as a research assistant with the International Monetary Fund, according to her LinkedIn profile, and graduated from the College of Wooster in 2012 through the U.S. Student Achievers Program (USAP), which places international students in U.S. colleges. The program has set up a fundraising page to support her family in Zimbabwe — as of 1:30 p.m. the page has raised $8,483 of a $20,000 goal.
"We are saddened and devastated by this loss — she will be remembered for her kindness, energy, optimism and brilliance," the USAP wrote on the fundraising page. "She was a role model to many, and full of promise and potential. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and all she has touched."

The D.C. council yesterday passed a bill that would decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana, but so far there are no plans to change marijuana laws or enforcement in Arlington.
The D.C. bill, which is expected to be signed by Mayor Vincent Gray, would make the possession of less than an ounce of marijuana a civil offense punishable by a $25 fine. Under the District's current laws marijuana possession is a crime, punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
In Virginia, state law makes marijuana possession a crime punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine for a first offense, and up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine for subsequent offenses. There are no proposals in the Virginia General Assembly this year to change that, and police in Arlington County say they have no plans to change the way they enforce the law.
The decriminalization of pot in the District "will have no effect on our policies or procedures," Arlington County Police Department spokesman Dustin Sternbeck tells ARLnow.com. "We will continue to enforce all laws in the same manner we currently do."
In other words, District residents who bring marijuana into Virginia shouldn't expect any leniency from police, despite the fact that an infraction that could cost less than a parking ticket in D.C. is punishable by jail time in the Commonwealth.
In 2012, Del. David Englin (D), who represented part of Arlington, proposed studying whether Virginia ABC stores should sell marijuana. Englin's measure failed in committee.
Expect to see a large tethered balloon over Arlington National Cemetery tomorrow afternoon.
The balloon will be flying over the cemetery between noon and 7:00 p.m. to "to help conduct a height study of Washington, D.C.," according to Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall spokesman Stephen Satkowski.
The study will seek to determine the impacts of raising the District of Columbia's building height limit.
The aerial photography company that's coordinating the balloon, Falls Church-based Digital Design & Imaging Service Inc., was unable to answer any questions about the project, and referred us to a New York-based architecture firm, which so far hasn't responded to a request for comment.
The Arlington County Board last night voted to extend the one-hour parking limit for food trucks by another hour.
Food trucks will now be able to serve customers on local streets for up to two hours. They will not, however, be able to stay longer than the time allocated by the meter zone they're parked in.
The previous one-hour limit had led to complaints and even legal challenges from food truck owners who argued that an hour doesn't give them enough time to serve hungry customers in busy parts of the county where parking is at a premium.
"The extension of the vending time better reflects typical lunch hours and more closely aligns with the metered parking zones in Arlington," the county said in a press release. "More than 90 percent of metered parking spaces within Arlington's metro station areas are regulated for two or more hours."
In voting unanimously for the change, Board members said food trucks are increasingly integral part of the community.
"Street vending has become a growing part of the retail scene in Arlington," said County Board Chair Walter Tejada. "These changes, by giving vendors flexibility and ensuring consistent enforcement, provide balance and clarity for all of Arlington's businesses that serve customers."
Doug Maheu, Arlington County Director of the Food Truck Association of Metropolitan Washington and owner of the Doug Food Dude food truck, said in a statement that food truck owners are largely pleased with the change, but would have liked even more time to vend.
Although the members of Metropolitan Washington Food Truck Association would not consider these amendments perfect, we do understand that they are a work in progress. We look forward to participating in future conversations with Arlington County as well as other stake holders on crafting equitable vending regulations. We applaud the Arlington County Board for moving forward to make Arlington a thriving diverse business community.
Maheu said food truck owners will continue to ask for four hour "block permits" that would allow even more vending time. As for the possibility of an influx of food trucks from D.C. to Arlington, should the District enact strict food truck regulations that have been proposed by Mayor Vincent Gray, Maheu said he's not overly concerned.
"I believe that the market will take care of competition as it always done," he said.
Maheu said he's aware of 3 or 4 D.C. food trucks that have applied for permits to serve customers in Arlington, but added that he didn't believe those applications were made in response to D.C.'s proposed regulations.
'Concentration of Poverty' at APS? — Some parents say Arlington Public Schools have designed school boundaries to concentrate lower-income students in south Arlington schools.

eSourcing & Supplier Relationships, Part I
By Charles Dominick, SPSM, SPSM2, SPSM3
Can You Persuade Suppliers To Embrace eSourcing?
eSourcing - or the process of conducting bidding and/or auctions via the Internet - continues to be a challenge in terms of managing supplier relationships. In the early days of eSourcing, suppliers resisted the eSourcing concept. They feared being "beaten up" over price.
Smart buyers "sold" the suppliers on the benefits of participating in eSourcing events. Here are three of those benefits that you can highlight to persuade suppliers to participate in your eSourcing events:
Communicating these benefits is still a powerful strategy. Now, many suppliers are willing,
However, there still are suppliers who resist eSourcing. And their numbers are growing to the surprise of many buyers. Here is some background on the situation...
eSourcing adoption began accelerating around the same time that the economy went into recession. Suppliers struggled to maintain sales levels. Not in a position to refuse business, they participated in eSourcing.
Today, the economy is improving. Suppliers' sales have increased. They can afford to be more selective with the business they pursue and may again resist eSourcing.
This new era requires a strategy to supplement the one you learned today. In the next resource, you'll learn how to keep the buyer-friendly eSourcing process alive in this new era.

C&T... Not sure why you believe we have an obligation to transition Iraq from post SH to what will eventually emerge. Our obligation is to our National Security. That is what justified our military intervention. I doubt you will be happy if post SH Iraq is If the problem were simply SH and his henchman and some reasonable time frame and effort could be established, I am certainly agreeable to reasonable argument for some additional time. The problem however is that this is an area of cultural feudalism if not tribalism. It is overwhelmingly anti-American in sentiment. Now there is a low level civil war and we are baring the brunt of burden of the Shiites. So I ask, when do you recognize that nation building under these circumstances is not an American obligation. How many years, lives and dollars will it take to recognize this.Contrary to you, I have no confidence that Iraq will ever pay us even 10% of the costs of this adventure. It is probably the one area where the Shiites and Sunniis are in agreement. I even wonder if the Kurds would agree to any payments. Now Im not saying that walking would not cause some hardships. And if the World wants to impose some order, i.e. nation building, let it as in Bosnia/Serbia act in concert. Last I heard with the exception of London and the Aussies, we had little First World support and we're baring 90% of the cost. If you have other information please provide, but it is my understanding that the 300 BILLION to date and 50 Billion per month are the addtional military costs of the Iraqi Adventure. Let me say taht I appreciate your willingness to understand that their are limits on our military power and budget that should be analyzed, examined and debated. Some seem to believe their should be no cost restraints on the military.alpha

Mr. Wong — the director of such films as "Days of Being Wild," "Happy Together" and "In the Mood for Love" — devoted nearly a decade on preparation for "The Grandmaster," which spent almost three years in production. The famously meticulous filmmaker appeared at a press conference with his cast on Sunday night in Beijing, where the film held its world premiere.
Mr. Wong said the film, which runs well over two hours, "could have last four hours, but I deleted a lot of scenes," according to a report from Agence France-Presse.

by Joy First, April 27, 2015
As I traveled to DC to risk arrest in an action organized by the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance (NCNR) I was feeling both nervous, but also knowing this is what I needed to be doing. This would be my first arrest since I was arrested at the CIA in June 2013, and served a one-year probation sentence after an October 2013 trial. Taking almost two years off from risking arrest helped me to really examine what I was doing and why, and I was committed to continuing to live a life in resistance to the crimes of our government.

Bonnie Block Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
On April 1, 2015 a six person jury found me guilty of trespassing at the Volk Field Open House because I handed out leaflets with four questions about drone warfare in the parking lot of the Wisconsin National Guard Museum. National Guard personnel deemed that "propaganda" sight unseen. The result was my arrest, being charged with trespass, pretrial motions to greatly limit the evidence I could present to the jury and ultimately the trial. The fine was $232 but I felt I couldn't in good conscience pay it.
"INDIAN" MASCOTS: Your part in ending a legacy of racismSubmitted by staff on Wed, 12/03/2014 - 5:33pm

Rather than honoring Native peoples, these caricatures and stereotypes contribute to a disregard for the diverse cultural heritages of Native peoples.

The Foo Fighters will celebrate David Letterman's upcoming return to the late night airwaves by serving as the musical guests for the first new episode of "The Late Show With David Letterman" since the host underwent surgery in mid-January.According to a source close to the band, Letterman personally asked for the Foo Fighters, and the group will juggle some of its travel plans in order to fly to New York City for the Friday taping of the show, scheduled to air on Monday, February 21. Even though the Foos are currently out touting their new album, "There Is Nothing Left To Lose," the band will play "Everlong" for the late night appearance, a song Letterman also personally requested. Regis Philbin, the host of the prime time game show phenom "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," will also be one of the guests for Letterman's return episode; Philbin will then be switching seats to serve as guest host of "The Late Show" on February 24. After taping the appearance,
the Foo Fighters will head to Brazil for three concerts before taking some time off prior to the launch of their joint tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, slated to start on March 24 in Minneapolis. Because of the changing schedule, the Foos have also shelved plans to shoot a video for "Stacked Actors," [RealAudio] the group's current radio single. RCA Records says the band may address the video plans during the month-long break.

We've served up quite a bit of "Little Fockers" coverage so far. All the way back to the earliest rumblings that "The State" veteran David Wain might direct. Those plans ended up changing, with Paul Weitz (brother of "New Moon" director Chris Weitz) now at the helm. Laura Dern and Jessica Alba have also both since joined the cast.
"Little Fockers" is happening though, and the shoot is underway now. Not only does this mean that the movie is on track for its previously announced June 30, 2010 release date, it also means we can look forward to many more set pics. You'll find the first of them below the jump, in which stars Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro laugh at whatever shenanigans are unfolding in the scene being shot. Check it out after the jump.

An essay on the legacy of actress Joan Crawford.
James Burns overcame a life of crime and incarceration as a teenager to reinvent himself as a college-educated poet. His reckless youth and road to redemption are the subject of "Jamesy Boy," a film with a message of inspiration, to be sure, but not much in terms of innovation.
Brothers Trevor and Tim White clearly mean well with their first feature. Trevor, the older of the two, directed and co-wrote the script (with Lane Shadgett), while Tim serves as one of the producers. Growing up in Annapolis, Md., they both knew of Burns' troubled past and persuaded him to let them tell his story on screen.
Trevor White shows some decent instincts and has assembled a impressive supporting cast (Ving Rhames, Mary-Louise Parker, Taissa Farmiga, James Woods). But he hits all the notes you'd expect in this type of uplifting tale: rebellion and debauchery, followed by run-ins with thugs and brushes with death, followed by time behind bars – where more run-ins with thugs and brushes with death await – and finally a chance to prove he can turn his life around. "Jamesy Boy" could play on a scared-straight double feature this week with the similarly formulaic "Life of a King," starring Cuba Gooding Jr. as an ex-con who mentors wayward youth through chess.
The main problem, though—besides the obviousness of the trajectory—is that handsome, fresh-faced newcomer Spencer Lofranco is never terribly convincing when James is supposed to be at his most depraved and self-destructive. He's got a bit of a young Tom Hardy to his look, and some young Mark Wahlberg to his tough-guy presence, but he's not threatening or dangerous enough. He's like a kid playing dress-up and doing the James Cagney, you-dirty-rat bit. (And the Toronto native's Canadian accent too often betrays him.)
When we first see James, he's lying face-down on the ground outside a prison bus while a corrections officer beats him in front of all the other inmates for picking a fight. "Jamesy Boy" then flashes back three years earlier, when he was only 14 and already wearing an ankle bracelet because of his long rap sheet. His single mother (an exasperated, straight-talking Parker) fights to place him in a public school, but administrators deem him too much of a risk.
In no time, he's getting high, staying out late and robbing the nearby convenience store. Among his cohorts is the seductive bad-girl Crystal (Rosa Salazar), who introduces him to Roc (Michael Trotter), the local gang leader. The one positive force in his life is Farmiga's Sarah, the daughter of the convenience store owner and its part-time clerk. Their quiet moments together are the film's best. Their vulnerability with each other and their shared yearning to get the hell out of this nowhere town ring true.
"Jamesy Boy" jumps back and forth between James' increasing presence and responsibility in Roc's crew and his tutelage under the man who would become his role model behind bars: convicted murderer Conrad. Rhames' character is so thinly drawn and is such a stock figure as the wise, quiet elder, he barely registers. And he's perilously close to functioning as another stock figure: the Magical Black Man. James Woods doesn't get much to do, either, as the stern, smart-ass warden.
Conrad dreams of fleeing the walls that hold him and traveling to Rio de Janeiro—that's how he gets through each day. (Presumably, Zihuatenejo was booked.) James, meanwhile, finds his inner voice and strength by writing poetry. He scribbles a little bit in his pad, then looks off reflectively into the distance, then scribbles some more as inspiring music swells. But the poems—and the film as a whole—fail to flesh James out as a whole and complicated human being worth rooting for.
