Investing.com - " The pound fell to two-week lows against the
broadly stronger dollar on Friday after unexpectedly strong U.S.
manufacturing data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve
will start to phase out its easy money policies sooner than
GBP/USD ended Friday's session at 1.5923, down 0.68% for the day.
The pair ended the week with losses of 1.32%.
The pair is likely to find support at 1.5775, the low of September
13 and resistance at 1.6045, Friday's high.
The dollar gained ground after the Institute of Supply Management
said its manufacturing purchasing managers' index rose to 56.4 in
October, the highest since April 2011, from 56.2 in September.
Economists had expected the index to tick down to 55.0.
The Fed left its USD85 billion-a-month asset purchase program in
place following its monthly meeting on Wednesday and was less
pessimistic than expected in its assessment of the economy. Fed
officials said the economy is expanding "at a moderate pace" and
said downside risks were diminishing.
The bank gave no clear indication whether it would start scaling
back stimulus at the December meeting or continue it into the start
of 2014.
Earlier Friday, data showed that manufacturing activity in the U.K.
edged down slightly more than expected in October.
The U.K. manufacturing purchasing managers' index ticked down to 56
from 56.3 in September, only moderately below August's two-year
highs of 57.1. Analysts had forecast a reading of 56.1.
The report said total new orders rose at a rate close to August's
19-year peak, as new export business rose at the fastest pace since
February 2011.
Elsewhere, sterling ended the week sharply higher against the euro,
with EUR/GBP losing 0.83% to settle at 0.8472.
The single currency weakened across the board after data on
Thursday showing that euro zone inflation fell to a four year low
in October raised concerns that the European Central Bank may ease
monetary policy as soon as this week to help shore up growth.
Eurostat said consumer price inflation in the currency bloc slowed
to 0.7% in October, the slowest pace since November 2009, from 1.1%
in September.
A separate report showed that the euro zone unemployment rate rose
to a record high 12.2% in September.
On Friday the U.S. is to release the nonfarm payrolls report for
October, which will help assess expectations for a possible
reduction in Fed stimulus.
Data released on Wednesday showed that the U.S. private sector
added fewer jobs than expected in October. Payroll processing firm
ADP said non-farm private employment rose by a seasonally adjusted
130,000 in October, below expectations for an increase of 150,000.
The U.S. is also to release preliminary data on third quarter
economic growth, while the Bank of England is to announce its
benchmark interest rate.
Ahead of the coming week, Investing.com has compiled a list of
these and other significant events likely to affect the markets.

Is the Netflix Stock Boom a House of Cards?
Earlier this month, BTIG Research analyst Richard Greenfield
crunched some numbers and found that if
) were a cable TV network, it would probably be the highest rated
"We believe Netflix streaming per sub/day is now over 87 [minutes, compared with 79 minutes last summer] and, in turn, Netflix is now likely the most watched cable network, essentially in-line with the Disney ( DIS ) Channel," calculated Greenfield on the BTIG blog (registration required).
The popularity of Netflix over cable networks was confirmed yesterday when the Los Gatos, California-based company reported quarterly earnings.
According to its report, Netflix added over 2 million new US streaming subscribers (3 million worldwide) in the first quarter, bringing its total domestic subscriber count to 29.17 million.
That means that Netflix has officially surpassed HBO ( TWX ) in domestic subscribers for the first time ever, Variety points out. Based on data from SNL Kagan, HBO had 28.7 million subscribers at the end of 2012.
Of course, HBO is still far and away the top dog globally, with some 114 million subscribers worldwide, while Netflix's total subscriber population stands at 36 million.
HBO also still has the edge in terms of paid subscribers. At the end of March, Netflix's paid streaming subscriber count was 27.91 million, with the remaining customers signed on for the company's free monthly trial.
Thanks to its stronger-than-expected subscriber growth - which means an improved contributing margin since content costs are spread over more customers - investors were impressed with Netflix's first quarter, sending shares up 24% to above $200 in after-hours trading on Monday. The stock is up some 90% so far in 2013.
Most analysts attribute Netflix's strong subscriber growth to its focus on exclusive content, which the company hopes will differentiate it from competitors like Amazon ( AMZN ) Studios, Coinstar ( CSTR ) and Verizon's (VZ) Redbox Instant, and Apple's (AAPL) iTunes. In the first quarter, Netflix debuted its high-profile and expensive original series, House of Cards , to great reviews.
"What we've seen with House of Cards is a nice impact but a gentle impact," said Netflix CEO Reed Hastings in a conference call Monday evening.
Because of the company's heavy investment in original content (the two planned seasons of House of Cards will cost $100 million) and rising non-original content acquisition costs, Netflix actually reported negative free cash flow of $42 million in the quarter (though that was an improvement from negative $51 million in the previous quarter).
In other words, Netflix is following the Amazon model: It's bleeding cash as it attempts to dramatically scale up, but the stock continues to rise anyway.
Once Netflix has reached subscriber saturation, the company will have to start making money, either by reducing content costs (which isn't likely, given that Amazon and other rivals will big fiercely for content), or by raising revenue. The question, then, is whether customers will accept a subscription fee that is higher than $7.99/month. We'll find out soon as Netflix says it plans to introduce a new $11.99/month plan that allows simultaneous streaming on four devices.

I wrote a tutorial titled Compiling to JavaScript, and Debugging with Source Maps for the Mozilla Hacks blog:
This is a tutorial on how to write a compiler which generates JavaScript as its target language, and maintains line and column meta-data in source maps for debugging. Storing line and column coordinates in a source map allows the end-user of the compiler to debug the source code that they wrote, rather than the ugly, generated JavaScript they are not familiar with.

Do you have bluetooth switched on? Try my bluetooth suggestion above?

@gfindlay: Tried BT ON, BT OFF, Airplane ON, Airplane OFF and every combination available relating to said settings, including power off, reset and so on... NOTHING.

****. Looks like there'll be 100 answers to this question and you're lucky if one works for you. Guess we'll have to hope that Apple gets it soon.

Thank you so **** much. Here I was thinking I was the only person to not have a fix for my phone. I downloaded the version of firmware you posted and it worked perfectly.

I've also tried all possible combinations of solutions and nothing works. Apple support was also supposed to call me back over an hour ago...still haven't heard from them.

Airplane mode and then turning on wifi only fixed for me. Strange thing is I have access to 2 wifi networks, a WPA2 protected network and a unprotected guest network. Never had problems connecting to guest network. Both SSID's are from the same access point.
Martin Kelly1 Sep 20, 2012 12:44 PM
in response to Arrrrgh
Hi Arrrrgh
I tried a variation on 'gfindley' suggestion, try this
Turn off wi-fi, turn off BT, turn off cellula data & 3G and then turn on Airplane Mode
Goto Settings/general/reset/Reset Network Settings and follow instructions.
Upon restart turn on wi-fi, connect to your network, you should be asked for the password,
Few seconds of the wheel of desperatation and hopefully like mine you will connect.
Hope this works for you, I've been at this all day.
Really annoyed that the so called high level experts, who have been missing form these sites all day, have left it to the first timers to sort this out. I hope they dont expect points in future for sorting out issues.
Good luck

Thanks gfindlay, you put me on the right track at last and I was finally able to connect to the company router after 10 hours of trying.
Very poor response from the high level guys on these pages, have a look you wont find anyone over a level 3. Why?
Any way your a star and get the points.

Thanks gfindlay and Martin Kelly1, your solution worked fine for me.
Arrrrgh Sep 20, 2012 3:29 PM
in response to Martin Kelly1
@Martin, no luck for me. I tried findlay's suggestions with no success.
I'm looking around for other solutions, and it would be GREAT if something was forthcoming from Apple, but as of right now, I have not seen anything from them AT ALL. I read on other threads that some posts are being removed by the powers...that's gotta help.

I updated my 4s today morning, so when it turn on after the update I couldn't use Wifi at all, It was like if the wifi button were block, It wasn't working, So I restored the phone via Itunes and then it worked, but after like 5 hours i had the problem again, so I decided to call apple and we tried everything and nothing works :-( and they told me'' Oh that's happening to a lot of persons, sorry for it'' and they were trying to help me but nothing worked, But The representative told me I can get fixed with the days, ( as we all know) and the other thing they told me was to restore the Phone Again. I Want My WiFi Back! anyone had the same problema as me? Let me Know what you did!

Good news of Easter ends good week
Last week was filled with Easter egg hunts and religious observances.
But before we wave goodbye to the Easter Bunny until next year, let's take a look back at some of the highlights of last week.
-Trinity 10th grader Kyler Parks is preparing for her directorial debut of a student performance of "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar." Keep up the good work, Kyler, and break a leg to all those performing in the school's upcoming Shakespeare Fest.
-Applications for the Concordia Parish Academy of Math, Science and Technology are being accepted. The magnet school offers specialized courses — often giving the students high-tech learning opportunities. We wish the school the best as it prepares for its second year of operation.
-Local officials spent a day in Jackson stressing the importance of Natchez to legislators during Natchez Day at the Capitol. Their goal was to keep Natchez in the forefront of legislators' minds when deciding the fate of upcoming legislation. We applaud their efforts and hope that legislators do indeed keep us in mind during this last week of the three-month legislative session.
-Locals welcomed a new beer to town brewed by two of its very own. Natchez natives Charles Caldwell and William McGehee were finally able to bring brews from their craft-beer company, Tin Roof Brewing Company, to their hometown. We wish the two entrepreneurs the best of luck as they continue to expand.
The first week of April is forecasted to be a wet one, but lets fight through the rain and hope April's showers really do bring May's flowers.

We are doing Kindergarten this year. When we are finished with the day I have a little stack of papers--handwriting, drawings, etc.
My question -- what do I do with everything when we are done? We have paper clutter as it is so I feel like this is multiplying it like crazy! :)
Any suggestions?

This was us pulling in. We loved this place. I've been all over the UK but the absolute best fish & chips I have ever had was at Soggy Dollar, and that's including some pretty nice places in London even. It was so fresh it was incredible. The bloody marys were beyond belief as well, and inspired my wife to go slightly crazy doing internet research and buying ingredients to try to replicate them. Would go back any time.
We swam from our boat to the beach, but I may have paid with a "soggy credit card" so I don't know how authentic I can claim to be. Still, it would make for one hell of a styleforum meetup if this was part of the process of getting there.post #98233 of 1176667/19/13 at 1:44pm

Where does one get excellent pork buns in Boston?
All the doctors in the world upstairs could do nothing to revive the outbound Orange Line train that expired at Tufts Medical Center around 8:20 a.m.
This was after a Green Line trolley expired at Copley and various trains heading to South Station took a break in their morning routine thanks to switch problems.
Johnny took in the New Year's celebrations in Chinatown yesterday.
At 8:41 a.m., State Police reported:
RT 90 EB, east of Prudential Tunnel, 2 MBTA buses collide.One driver injured, right lane closed.Traffic delays
In addition to the driver, three passengers were taken to Tufts Medical Center, State Police say. Uninjured passengers were transferred to another bus for the rest of their journey.
The T reports the crash is responsible for minor delays on the 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 553, 554, 556 and 558 routes.
Officials at the Revere Hotel on Stuart Street told the Boston Licensing Board today they had no idea a group of companies that organized a Christmas party for local tech start-ups was selling tickets - a violation of the state law that prohibits open bars at events open to just anyone.
Around 11:45 p.m. in front of the outbound entrance to the Orange Line Chinatown station and the CVS. The suspect was described as a black man, about 5'7" and wearing a dark jacket with a red design on it, a black hoodie and a white knit cap.
He was last seen walking towards Downtown Crossing.
Eater Boston alerts us to a one-day kosher-ish homage to the Chinese New Year at a Chinatown restaurant:
What happens when you mix the Chinese New Year with Jewish cuisine with O Ya/jm Curley alum Mark O'Leary, and then you serve it all at Shojo? You get dishes like luobagao latkes with lox, matzoh ball ramen, and black & white challah, and you only get it for one night.
The Amazing store, 57 Stuart St., was held up around 4 p.m.
Stanley Staco reports a man with a gun tried to hold up somebody outside Chau Chow City, 83 Essex St., shortly after 4 a.m., then fled in a gray Lexus or Infiniti.
Boston Restaurant Talk reports Enzo Sushi on Kneeland Street has shut down its conveyor belt for the last time.
A wary citizen complains about snow piled up on a ledge at the top of 40 Beach St. in Chinatown:
A wall of maybe a bankers box sized chunk of snow fell onto The street and almost onto a young woman with a baby carriage. Another almost fell on to me. There is more snow up there and I can see from the look of people that have been more falling snow. But the very least, there should be a barrier around the area where the snow was falling so that you don't walk under it anymore. At best, it should be taken off the ledge.
The Boston Fire Department reports water from a leaking sprinkler dripped onto a second-floor heating unit at 36 Harrison Ave. in Chinatown shortly after noon, sending smoke into the building's duct work.
Bobby Main shows us the Washington Street sinkhole in Chinatown this evening. It opened up early this morning and tried to eat a DPW truck.
Glub, glub at Washington and Kneeland around 4 a.m. Avoid the area, the city says.
Bus-swallowing sinkhole.
Jordan Munson asks:
Best place in Chinatown (Boston) to grab a quick ramen lunch?
Kayla Greenberg spotted a woman and her ferret at the Chinatown Orange Line stop tonight.
Via Scott Kirsner, we learn the BPD licensing division shut down the bar at the Boston Holiday Tech Co-Party at the Revere Hotel early this morning because it was an open bar and that's against the law for events that charge admission.
Around 2 p.m., Adam Castiglioni reported the lights were out at the Tufts Medical Center stop.
Transit Police responded fairly quickly:
Electricians are working on the problem and additional staff were sent to the station to assist passengers.
As of 5 p.m., however, Boston to a T reports:
Still pretty much pitch black at Tufts Medical station.
A bouncer at the Theater District club who had just exchanged punches with an irate customer kicked the man in the face while he was lying on the ground in the process of being arrested, police and the club's general manager told the Boston Licensing Board today.
According to police, an officer on a Theater District patrol around 1 a.m. noticed a fight around 1:50 a.m. at Cure, 246 Tremont St. He rushed over as a bouncer and a patron were punching each other in the face. The officer separated the two and was in the process of arresting the patron when the bouncer kicked the man in the face with one of his black boots.
A fire in an electrical room just beyond the inbound platform at Tufts Medical Center brought the Orange Line to an abrupt end this morning.
The Boston Fire Department reports a 15,000-volt line began to smolder around 10:10 a.m. Firefighters had to bring in dry-powder extinguishers to put out the fire - and several "smoke ejectors" to clear the smoke out of the station.
The station was turned back to the T around 11:50 a.m. Service on the Orange Line resumed shortly after noon - although the Tufts Medical Center stop remained shut.

New Report Analyzes How Crypto Backdoors, Interference with Crypto, and Compelled Disclosure of Encryption Keys All Impact Free Expression and Privacy
Defending encryption is a human rights issue, according to a new Amnesty International report. The report calls on nation-states to promote the use of encryption tools as part of their international human rights obligations to protect the privacy of their populations.
Amnesty particularly notes the role of encryption in promoting free expression:
Stupid Patent of the Month: Mega-Troll Intellectual Ventures Hits Florist With Do-It-On-A-Computer Scheduling Patent
When it comes to patent trolls, no one is bigger than Intellectual Ventures. The Washington State-based behemoth is at the center of both patent trolling and the debate around patent reform. Though it claims to promote innovation, Intellectual Ventures is behind some of the most outrageous troll campaigns in recent years.
EFF's efforts to fix holes in oversight of the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) are paying off.
New data and records released by California Department of Justice (CADOJ) show a steep increase in the number of agencies disclosing cases of abuse of the state's network of law enforcement databases—a major victory for transparency and law enforcement accountability.
Last year, EFF identified major failures in how a CADOJ committee charged with overseeing the system—the CLETS Advisory Committee (CAC)—reviews misuse investigations. The body, EFF found, had failed to follow established procedures for disciplining users who break access rules, leading to a 100% increase in reported misuse since 2010.
We're proud to announce today's release of Onlinecensorship.org's first report looking at how content is regulated by social media companies. Onlinecensorship.org—a joint project of EFF and Visualizing Impact (VI) that won the 2014 Knight News Challenge—seeks to encourage social media companies to operate with greater transparency and accountability toward their users as they make decisions that regulate speech.
In a decision that could help other victims of abusive patent litigation, a court today ordered that Garfum.com Corporation must pay an EFF client's attorneys' fees. The court found that Garfum's patent suit lacked merit and was litigated unreasonably.
EFF Moves To Unseal Important Rulings Regarding Repeat Litigant Blue Spike
The public has a First Amendment right to access court records, and that right is generally only curtailed when there is "good cause" to do so. Unfortunately, when it comes to patent cases, courts routinely allow [PDF] parties to file entire documents under seal, without any public-redacted version being made available.
Imagine a new, disruptive company figured out a way to let hundreds of people watch a single purchased copy of a movie, even though the rightsholders who made that movie objected. The new company charged money for this service, and gave none of it back to the movie's creators. That's exactly the business model that a controversial project at the Web's premier open standards organization seeks to prevent.
Of course, it's also the business model of Netflix, circa 1997, not to mention every prior video rental service relying on the traditional principle that a copyright owner's control ended when they sold a copy of the work.
A prominent Vietnamese blogger and his assistant were sentenced to prison last week in Hanoi for their work on a popular web site, read by millions of Vietnamese, that reported on human rights and government corruption. The case raises alarms of a new wave of repression against independent media and free expression online in Vietnam.

EpiCast Report: Pediatric Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection And Prophylactic Populations In The US - Epidemiology Forecast To 2022
NEW YORK, April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: EpiCast Report: Pediatric Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection and Prophylactic Populations in the US - Epidemiology Forecast to 2022 http://www.reportlinker.com/p01158449/EpiCast-Report-Pediatric-Respiratory-Syncytial-Virus-Infection-and-Prophylactic-Populations-in-the-US---Epidemiology-Forecast-to-2022.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=PathologyEpiCast Report: Pediatric Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection and Prophylactic Populations in the US - Epidemiology Forecast to 2022 Summary Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the most common causes of respiratory infections in children. The majority of cases present with mild, cold-like symptoms, but about 1% of cases develop severe complications requiring hospitalization. Children under two years of age with certain health conditions are most at risk for severe RSV infections and are therefore recommended to receive RSV prophylaxis treatments (Resch, 2011). GlobalData epidemiologists forecasted the RSV infection population and each prophylactic population in the US independently based on trends in population, birth, infant mortality, disease incidence, and disease survival. GlobalData epidemiologists estimate that RSV infections will grow 10.4% in the next decade, from 8.03 million cases in 2012 to 8.87 million cases in 2022. The number of RSV infections is expected to increase due to population growth while the prophylactic populations are expected to decrease due to decreased births and decreased preterm births. Improvements in prenatal care in the US, increased pre-birth screening of congenital abnormalities, and advancement in treatments are all drivers of the decrease in preterm births. Scope The Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections and Prophylactics Populations EpiCast Report provides overview of the risk factors for severe RSV infections, as well as a 10-year epidemiology forecast of primary, secondary, and hospitalized RSV infections and RSV prophylactic populations in children aged 0–2 years in the US. The prophylactic populations are - - Children born before 36 weeks of gestation- Infants with neonatal chronic lung disease- Children with congenital respiratory or neuromuscular diseases that compromises respiratory function- Children with hemodynamically significant congenital heart diseases- The RSV infection population and RSV prophylactic populations are further segmented by age (0-year, 1-year, and 2-year) and by sex.

When superstar Taylor Swift penned 'Tim McGraw' years ago, she probably had no idea that in the future, the icon would passionately discuss his deep admiration for her, even diving into how she changed country music in a very special way.
Taylor Swift is all about her fans, but she went above and beyond to make one especially deserving fan's dream come true. At the Charlotte, N.C. stop of her Red Tour on Friday night (March 22), the singer brought a sick 7-year-old girl named Emma Routh onstage with her. It meant so much to her that Emma's family cannot stop gushing about what a heartwarming gesture the country superstar made on her behalf.
The Mattel "See n Say" that we had as kids taught us that the cow goes moo, the dog goes bark and the cat goes meow. I am guessing this cute kitten did not have the advantage of having such a toy. The sound coming out of this cat is just wrong.
It seems everyone wants to collaborate with Taylor Swift. Spunky Miranda Lambert has mentioned her interest, and British crooner Ed Sheeran penned a song with Swift for her 'Red' album. With all of her terrific success, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Steven Tyler, the 'demon of screamin',' wants to write with the 23-year-old.
Tender-hearted country-pop superstar Taylor Swift fulfilled an ailing little girl's dream on Saturday (March 9). The singer made a special visit to Omaha's Children's Hospital & Medical Center to visit a young fan who's been battling cancer.
Could this New York cab driver become the next singing sensation of the internet?
Taylor Swift definitely showed her defensive side when she dissed Amy Poehler and Tina Fey in a not-so-subtle way in the April issue of Vanity Fair, but Poehler responded to the singer's comments in a way that leaves all of us smiling.
Taylor Swift tends to write a song or two about love and relationships and break-ups and...well, you get the idea. Some folks may even go so far as to make fun of the consistent theme in most of her songs. We don't know any of those people. ;)
This is Taylor Swift's newest and most painful duet to date. You have seen Taylor singing with the goats. You have seen Taylor singing with the paper towel machine...

Welcome to my little space on the web!
Long story short, I am a wife, mom of three amazing little boys and country girl turned internet marketing & social media geek with a passion for photography and design. If you follow my Instagram, you'll notice that we're kind of into travel. My hair is never the same color. I am really, really into black and white (you couldn't tell from this website, could you?). And, I am a passionate creative. I love to photograph, design and create. Combine that with my love and passion for marketing and you kind of get this blog.
This website has changed so much. Today, you'll find it focuses mostly on my books. This page use to go on and on about what I did BEFORE I was considered a self-published author. I love sharing my variety of passions with all of you, so I still write on my blog.
My background is corporate marketing. I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up (do I yet?) so I got dual BS Degrees in Marketing and Business Administration incase I wanted to go to law school. I was fortunate enough to work with an amazing company for the first four years of my career while earning those degrees. What I learned there continues to stick with me to this day.
Me with my boys in Yosemite National Park in the Fall of 2014. We purchased a home not far from the park in 2015.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- Medient Studios promised to bring 1,000 jobs and a taste of Hollywood glamor to the middlebrow suburbs of Effingham County last summer, when the company broke ground on a $90 million movie-production campus west of Savannah.

 A year later, the studio has delivered plenty of drama but little tangible progress.

 Just this summer, Medient has ousted its founder and CEO, and regulators temporarily suspended trading of its stock. It also reported a $14.6 million net loss in its newest earnings report.

 No buildings have been constructed on the company's 1,500-acre site near Interstate 16. Medient has yet to start shooting any films in coastal Georgia. Its new top executive promises that will change this fall.

 The studio's officers are asking for a fresh start. Last week, Medient announced plans to change its name to Moon River Studios. It's working with economic development officials to renegotiate the terms of its incentives package. The deal promised 1,000 jobs in five years in exchange for $1.25 million in taxpayer-funded site preparation and a lease giving the studio two years on the county-owned property without rent.

 "There's a lot of concern," said John Henry, CEO of the Effingham County Industrial Development Authority. He noted that the original deal called for Medient to have limited facilities up and running within its first year. Henry said he still believes the studio can succeed but acknowledged the county has few options.

 "We either move forward with the new management team and essentially start at square one, or we assume there's no project whatsoever and go back to marketing the property," Henry said.

 Georgia taxpayers also are on the hook for $3 million in state-sponsored incentives to Medient. The studio gets none of that money until it creates at least 250 jobs lasting a full year. The studio currently employs fewer than 24 workers, about the same number it had a year ago, New CEO Jake Shapiro said.

 Hollywood has long come to Savannah to film movies, from "Forrest Gump" to the recently announced sequel to "Magic Mike." But the prospect of a studio employing people year-round has been a huge deal for neighboring Effingham County.

 Most residents commute to outlying communities. At the time of Medient's groundbreaking in August 2013, Henry said the studio's workforce - from carpenters building sets to computer programmers creating special effects - could boost Effingham employment by 10 percent.

 Medient's new managers say locals will see progress soon. Shapiro became CEO in June after its board fired Manu Kumaran. Shapiro said the studio plans to start shooting the horror film "RIP" in the Savannah area this fall. Meanwhile, he said, sets are being constructed on studio property for its next project. Medient is pressing to open its first office building in early 2015.

 "We really wanted to demonstrate to the community and our shareholders that there's a very new management team in place with a very clear direction and focus," Shapiro said. "The business plan was always a great business plan. The problem was the former CEO couldn't stick to the business plan."

 The company also brought some prominent names onto its board. The new chairman is Charles Koppelman, former chairman of EMI Records and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Former New York Gov. David Paterson joined the board last spring.

 In August, Shapiro presented officials with new architectural plans for no-frills designs - a far cry from the futuristic campus promised under Kumaran, who envisioned an amphitheater shaded by a giant, suspended leaf and a gleaming glass bridge at the entrance.

 The project's first phase - previously planned at $90 million - has slimmed down to about $20 million for a pair of soundstages and a main office building. Henry said the finished studio should still reach $90 million in total investment.

 It's unclear how Medient plans to finance construction. In its earnings report filed Aug. 18, the company said it had $156,331 in cash and equivalents, plus a credit line of $808,500. Medient reported zero revenue in the quarter ending June 30, with a net loss of $14.6 million.

 Most of the losses were attributed to two films the company owns. Horror film "Storage 24" flopped last year. "Yellow" starring Ray Liotta and Melanie Griffith is awaiting release. Shapiro said the studio reassessed "Yellow" more conservatively, resulting in a $5.3 million loss on paper.

 Medient also announced last week an effort to attract new investors to its troubled stock by slashing the number of issued shares from more than 2.3 billion to about 2.3 million. The move came after the Securities and Exchange Commission suspended trading for two weeks starting June 25, citing questions about Medient's accuracy in reporting total outstanding shares to investors.

 The value of Medient's stock has plummeted from a high of 62 cents a share last September to a fraction of a penny - .04 cents when markets closed Friday.

 Joe Maner, a retired railroad technician in Effingham County, invested $1,000 in Medient stock during the past year. After the price fell, he sold it all. A brokerage receipt showed his stock's total value had fallen to $7.20, Maner said.

 He said he still hopes the studio succeeds, but he won't bet any more money on it.

 "I don't own a cent," Maner said. "If they want me to have some of it, they'd have to give it to me."

The locked restrooms are a casualty of the current economic in Palo Alto and that the parks staff does not work on holidays. No staff mean no unlocked restrooms. Complain directly to the parks and rec commission rather than expecting them to read this on the message board.

Gov't Repudiates Frank Kameny's 1957 Firing, Apologizes
Jim Burroway
June 25th, 2009
In 1957, Frank Kameny was fired from his job as an astronomer at the Army Map Service when his supervisors found out he was gay. He protested to the U.S. Civil Service Commission and argued his case all the way to the United States Supreme Court, which denied his claim. That experience turned Kameny from an anonymous government employee to one of the most tireless activists of the LGBT movement.
Yesterday, more than fifty years after his firing, Frank was on hand at a special ceremony to receive a formal letter of apology from John Berry, the openly gay Director of the Office of Personnel Management. Kameny was also bestowed the Teddy Roosevelt Award, the department's highest honor. Upon receiving the apology, Frank Kameny tearfully replied, "Apology accepted."
We often think of the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York as being the start of the Gay Rights movement, but that assumption ignores the bold, aggressive action by Frank Kameny, Barbara Gittings, Del Martin and Phylis Lyon, along with other pre-stonewall landmark events like the Black Cat Raid and the White House pickets. Frank Kameny was right in the middle of many of those bold initiatives in demanding equality for gay people when relatively few gay people themselves believed they deserved equality. Remember, this was a time when the medical profession regarded homosexuality as a mental illness.
Frank would have none of that. He co-founded the Mattachine Society of Washington, D.C., which in 1963 launched a long campaign to overturn sodomy laws and remove homosexuality from the American Psychological Association's list of mental disorders. He participated in the very first picket line in front of the White House on April 17, 1965. Along with other activists from New York they expanded those pickets to include the Pentagon, the U.S. Civil Service Commission, and, more famously, to Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia pickets would become an annual event for the next five years.
In 1968, Kameny coined the phrase "Gay Is Good," basing it on the slogan "Black Is Beautiful." It was a bold and radical gesture for many gays and lesbians who hadn\'t before dared to believe that about themselves. While Frank points to that phrase's popularity as his most proud accomplishment, it wasn't his last. He became the first openly gay candidate for Congress in 1971 (he lost), and he played a pivotal role in the APA\'s removal of homosexuality from its list of disorders in 1973 (he won).
Yesterday, Frank's life of advocacy completed its full circle with the apology and recognition from the Office of Personnel Management, the successor department to the U.S. Civil Service Commission which upheld his firing. In Joyce Murdoch and Deb Price's book, Courting Justice: Gay Men And Lesbians V. The Supreme Court, Frank called his 1957 firing the spark which energized his long dedication to securing equality for all LGBT people:
"I just couldn't walk away," recalled Frank Kameny, a brilliant Harvard-educated astronomer who became nearly destitute after being fired from his government job in 1957. The phrase echoed through many interviews with gay people who fought against dreadful odds after losing a job, being embarrassed by a "sex crime" arrest or suffering some similar humiliation. "For the rest of my life, I wouldn't have been able to live with myself," Kameny added. "I would be dead of stomach ulcers by now. There's simply a burning sense of justice."
Frank Kameny is 82, and is still active in Washington, D.C. where he makes his home. His home, by the way, was designated as a D.C. Historic Landmark by the District of Columbia\'s Historic Preservation Review Board in honor of his activism. His papers are now in the Library of Congress, and a collection of original picket signs, a "Gay is Good" button, and other memorabilia are a part of the Smithsonion's collection.

The Long Arc of History
Jim Burroway
April 4th, 2009
John Berry, an openly gay man, was confirmed yesterday as director of U.S. Office of Personnel Management. This is the federal agency which sets personnel and hiring policies for the U.S. government. Jonathan Rauch notes the historical significance of this momentous occasion:
..in November of 1971, the federal personnel office wrote this letter to Frank Kameny, the pioneering gay-rights activist (still going strong, btw), in response to Kameny's protest of the firing of a gay federal employee:
The activities of sodomy, fellatio, anal intercourse, mutual masturbation, and homosexual caressing and rubbing of bodies together to obtain sexual excitement or climax are considered to be acts of sexual perversions and to be acts of immoral conduct, which, under present mores of our society, are regarded as scandalous, disgraceful, and abhorrent to the overwhelming majority of people. …
Individuals who engage in acts of sex perversion and other homosexual acts…are not regarded with respect by the overwhelming majority of people. Indeed, some of the most extreme epithets of contempt and vituperation are popularly applied to persons who engage in such activities…
The letter goes on, and on, in that vein (the first page is here).
That same office as of yesterday is now headed by a gay man.
Kerry Eleveld at The Advocate phoned Kameny (he will be 84 in May) to discuss his long life of advocacy for LGBT rights, including several pioneering protests in front of the White House, Pentagon, State Department and Civil Service Commission. Kameny became involved when he was fired from the Army Map Service in 1957. Eleveld asked Kameny what he thought about Berry being named to head the OPM:
"I remember seeing his name somewhere," Kameny said of the news, "but I don't know terribly much about him."
I said I wasn't so much interested in his estimation of Berry as I was in the fact that a gay man might be heading the organization.
Silence weighted the other end of the line as I realized Mr. Kameny hadn't fully grasped the news.
"Oh, oh my…" he said as it settled in. "For the first time in this whole conversation, this is really registering on me. Oh, my…now I am impressed!" he said with a hint of glee in his voice. "Macy must be turning over in his grave," he added, referencing John W. Macy Jr., his archrival who chaired the commission in the '60s.
Update: John Berry has invited Frank Kameny to be present for his swearing in.
Prayers for Bobby
Timothy Kincaid
January 6th, 2009
A study just found a sharp distinction between the behavior of gay teens with accepting parents and those who were rejected by their parents. One story of the consequences that can come from religion-based rejection is being told in Prayers for Bobby.
On August 27, 1983, Bobby Griffith took his own life. This was the end of his four year struggle to reconcile his orientation with the pressures from his family to pray his gay away.
But Bobby left behind extensive diaries. And a distraught mother.
Unlike some parents who, when confronted with the destructive nature of their rejection, seek to absolve themselves and blame their children, Mary Griffith was shocked into self-evaluation. And the result of her journey of discovery was life-changing. Mary recognized that she had been instrumental in her son's distruction and decided to become an activist for the care and support of gay teens and for changing the attitudes of parents.
In 1995 came the book, Prayers for Bobby: A Mother's Coming to Terms with the Suicide of Her Gay Son.
Now on January 24th, Lifetime Channel will be tell Mary's story (starring Sigourney Weaver). The network has been heavily promoting this movie and let's hope that many many families are watching.

LA's Black Cat Bar To Be Designated A Historic Cultural Monument
Jim Burroway
September 21st, 2008
Our essay last January 1 about a riot that was sparked when police saw men kissing at the stroke of midnight on New Years Day has had an impact. I've just received word from Wes Joe that the Black Cat bar, the scene of the 1966/67 riot which birthed a renaissance of the gay rights movement in Los Angeles, has passed an important hurdle in becoming a City Historic Cultural Monument:
Hi, happy to report that on Thursday the LA Cultural Heritage Commission approved designation of the Black Cat as a City Historic Cultural Monument. An important hurdle since they're picky — the other 2 applications up that morning were denied.
Next step is a City Council Committee, then the full Council. Hopefully not a big deal since we have the strong support of the City Council President.
Thanks again for The Temerity of a Kiss, which really helped motivate us to do this.
An aside, noticed the button in today's piece on Frank Kameny. In doing the research at the ONE archives I came across a cover of Tangents magazine covered with buttons. Couldn't resist putting that in the application material. On Thursday one of the persons giving testimony, Alexei Romanoff, had owned the bar down the street from the Black Cat that was also raided New Year's morning 1967. Showed him the page and he remarked that he had over 700 such buttons.
Thanks again! Wes
Thank you Wes for helping to preserve an important cultural landmark.
Frank Kameny's Papers Available To The Public
Jim Burroway
September 19th, 2008
It's been about two years since Frank Kameny, longtime Washington, D.C. LGBT activist, donated his papers to the Library of Congress. Now that those papers have been cataloged, they are available to the public:
Charles Francis, organizer of the Kameny Papers Project, said the 50,000 items were "organized to perfection" by library staff and would be an invaluable resource to people reviewing the earliest days of the gay civil rights movement.
"The Kameny Papers, documenting the evolution of the gay rights movement in the United States, are now available to study for many years to come," he said.
Frank played a pivotal role in the gay rights movement since the 1960's. He became involved when he was fired from his civilian job with the U.S. Army's map service in 1957. Federal civil service rules at the time prohibited gays from federal employment, and security clearances were routinely denied to anyone who was found to be gay. He became the first to appeal a firing on the basis of homosexuality.
He lost those appeals, but went on to found the Washington, D.C. Mattachine Society. He also played a key role in getting the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from its list of mental disorders in 1973.
In 1968 Frank coined the phrase "Gay is Good," inspired by the popular "Black is Beautiful" slogan. "Gay is Good" may appear rather simple today, but it was a particularly significant slogan for 1968 when homosexuality was still considered both a mental illness and a criminal act. Last year when some of Frank's memorabilia was featured in a temporary display at the Smithsonian, he shared with me what the slogan meant to him:
I've said, for a long time, that if I'm remembered for only one thing, I would like it to be for having coined "Gay is Good." But never did I expect that that would make its way to the Smithsonian. I feel deeply contented.
According to the Washington Blade, highlights of the Kameny Papers include papers related to the American Psychiatric Association's 1973 decision and the landmark 1974 federal decision to grant an openly gay man a Pentagon security clearance.
And by the way, in case you were wondering, Frank Kameny is still very much alive.
Today In History: A Bugger Was Hung
Jim Burroway
August 12th, 2008
"Buggery" — the quaint British legal term for homosexual activity — was a capital offense until 1861, when the laws were finally relaxed to allow for life imprisonment. But that change came almost thirty years too late for Captain Henry Nicholas Nicholls, who was hanged 175 years ago today for the "abominable vice."
According to the London Courier:
Captain Henry Nicholas Nicholls, who was one of the unnatural gang to which the late Captain Beauclerk belonged, (and which latter gentleman put an end to his existence), was convicted on the clearest evidence at Croydon, on Saturday last, of the capital offence of Sodomy; the prisoner was perfectly calm and unmoved throughout the trial, and even when sentence of death was passed upon him. In performing the duty of passing sentence of death upon the prisoner, Mr. Justice Park told him that it would be inconsistent with that duty if he held out the slightest hope that the law would not be allowed to take its severest course. At 9 o'clock in the morning the sentence was carried into effect. The culprit, who was fifty years of age, was a fine looking man, and had served in the Peninsular war. He was connected with a highly respectable family; but, since his apprehension not a single member of it visited him.

Military Service Issue – Sixty Years Ago This Month
Timothy Kincaid
July 23rd, 2008
Today's debates over "forced cohabitation" are not without historical comparisons.
On 26 July 1948, President Harry S Truman signed Executive Order 9981, establishing the President's Committee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity in the Armed Services. It was accompanied by Executive Order 9980, which created a Fair Employment Board to eliminate racial discrimination in federal employment.
The comparison was not lost on one witness today (CNN)
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Vance Coleman, a black man who joined the Army when it was segregated, testified that the current treatment of gays and lesbians is similar to how African-Americans were treated before President Truman integrated the military in 1948.
"I know what it is like to be thought of as a second-class citizen, and I know what it is like to have your hard work dismissed because of what you are or what you look like," Coleman said.
Earlier this year the House of Representatives honored the order ending segregation
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress to honorably and respectfully recognize the historic significance and to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of President Truman's Executive Order 9981 signed on July 26, 1948 that declared it to be the policy of the President that there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion or national origin thereby beginning the process of ending segregation in the United States Armed Forces.
Today former Secretary of State Colin Powell, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and others celebrated the 60th anniversary of the integration of U.S. Armed Forces in the Capitol Rotunda.
Tom Brokaw: No Gays In His '60's
Jim Burroway
November 26th, 2007
Tom Brokaw's new book, Boom! Voices of the Sixties is supposed to be a sweeping review of all of the highlights of that pivital decade for social change. Brokaw left virtually nothing untouched: civil rights, the war, feminism, the sexual revolution — all of it is right there in his exhastive review. Except for one thing: There are no gays in the Sixties.
No Stonewall, no protests in front of the White House or Independence Hall, no Civil Service expulsions, none of that is a part of Tom Brokaw's "Sixties." And that has 1960's gay rights activist and icon Frank Kameny livid. Kameny, whose memorabilia was recently featured in a display at the Smithsonian Institution fired off a stirring rebuttal to Brokaw's silence on a very important part of America in the 1960's. Reminding Brokaw that "Gay is good" (Frank coined that phrase in 1968.) Kameny reminds Brokaw of the great sweep of history that Brokaw overlooked and demands an apology.
Just Leave Out the Icky Part
Timothy Kincaid
October 31st, 2007
What would you do if there was a charming little story about an orphan kid who thought he was a Martian? You'd make it into a movie, of course.
But what if this was a family movie and one of the characters was gay? Oh, you'd just remove that icky part, of course. Does it matter if the story is semi-autobiographical and based on a the difficulties of being a gay father to an adopted son with serious abandonment issues? Nah, just make him straight. It's much cuddlier.
From Vue Weekly:
Really, how can you not love a little boy orphan who truly believes he's from Mars and travels inside of an Amazon.com cardboard box with the warning "FRAGILE: Handle with care" on it? David Gordon (John Cusack) certainly can't. In fact, this celestial orphan named Dennis (Bobby Coleman) might be the perfect match for science fiction writer David.
That is the sole premise of Martian Child, based on the award-winning novelette by, and about, sci-fi author David Gerrold and his experiences as a single adoptive dad. The only major difference is this family film leaves out the part where David is gay, and instead makes him a widower with an attractive "friend," Harlee, played by Amanda Peet.
Awww. How sweet.
Maybe he and his father can go to a Save Marriage rally in the movie as well. Wouldn't that be sweet?
Reviewer Omar Mouallem, who has no problem with this minor revision, tells us
But like the orphan in the box, it's not humanly possible to dislike Martian Child. Not even a little.
Oh, I don't know about that, Omar. I haven't even seen it and already I dislike it more than a little.
You see, Omar, I'm not all that fond of when heterosexuals take the contributions and sacrifices that gay men and women make – often times because of the humanity and compassion that comes from being made to feel like an outsider – and pretend that the very attributes that taught this person compassion are icky and nasty and to be hidden.
Gay Is Good: Frank Kameny's Memorabilia At The Smithsonian
Jim Burroway
August 31st, 2007
The Smithsonian's Museum of American History is closed and undergoing renovations, but that's not stopping them from putting on ambitious and expansive shows at other venues. One such exhibit is the "Treasures of American History" at the National Air and Space Museum.
And one part of this exhibit is titled "Gay is Good" and features several items from Frank Kameny's recently donated archives and memorabilia, includes picket signs from 1965 and "Gay is Good" buttons from around 1968. These items join Thomas Jefferson's small, portable, folding desk upon which he wrote the Declaration and the inkwells Abraham Lincoln used to write the Emancipation Proclamation — all of which played key roles in the formation of our national values of freedom and equality for everyone.
Frank Kameny is a living hero of the American gay rights movement. It all began when he was dismissed in 1957 from his position as an astronomer in the Army Map Service because of his homosexuality. Federal civil service rules at the time prohibited gays from federal employment, and security clearances were routinely denied to anyone who was found to be gay. He became the first to appeal a firing on the basis of homosexuality. The ACLU represented him at the Court of Appeals, but they refused to go further when he lost. So he wrote his own appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, filing it on January 21, 1961. The Supreme Court took only two months to turn it down.
In 1961, Frank and Jack Nichols co-founded the Mattachine Society of Washington, D.C., aggressively pressing for equal treatment of gay employees in the federal government. They also began their work to overturn anti-sodomy laws across the country and to remove homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association's list of mental disorders, both of which served as justifications for ongoing discrimination against gays and lesbians. The APA was not very receptive to working with the Society however, writing in 1963, "it is not in the best interests of the APA to meet with you, nor to publicize your meetings." Meanwhile there was a move in Congress in 1963 to prevent the District of Columbia from registering the Mattachine Society as a nonprofit organization.
But that didn't deter the nascent gay rights movement. Frank and other members of the Mattachine Society participated in the very first gay-rights picket in front of the White House in 1965. And in 1973, he was on a panel of the APA's symposium on homosexuality when Dr. John E. Fryer appeared as "Dr. H. Anonymous." This ended up being a key moment leading to the APA's elimination of homosexuality as a mental illness. That was quite a turnaround from a mere ten years earlier when the APA refused to meet with him.
In 1968 Frank coined the phrase "Gay is Good," inspired by the popular "Black is Beautiful" slogan. "Gay is Good" may appear rather simple today, but it was a particularly significant slogan for 1968 when homosexuality was still considered both a mental illness and a criminal act. Today, in a private message reprinted here with his kind permission, Frank reflects on his slogan:
I've said, for a long time, that if I'm remembered for only one thing, I would like it to be for having coined "Gay is Good." But never did I expect that that would make its way to the Smithsonian. I feel deeply contented.
You can find more information about Frank's contribution to gay rights in America at his web site, the Kameny Papers. Not only was he a great gay rights leader, he also ended up being a great archivist. It seems as if he never threw anything away and we're all the richer for it. Now his legacy is a part of our national patrimony. And as this video from The Kameny Papers website shows, his struggle — and ours — is part and parcel of the larger struggle to bring America's promise of equality to fruition for everyone.
Marriage is One Vassal / One Vassal
Timothy Kincaid
August 23rd, 2007
One of the most often heard (and most ignorant) arguments against recognition of same-sex couples is that marriage has always been the same – one man and one woman – for 5,000 years. Considering that the same people who assert this position also claim they read the Bible, I marvel that they don't break out in giggles.
In 1994 the acclaimed history scholar John Boswell released Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe. Boswell centered his research on liturgy and offered evidence that during the middle ages certain segments of the Church recognized same-sex couples using ceremonies startlingly similar to wedding.
Now the Journal of Modern History (as reported by Science Daily) will present in its September issue historical evidence of legal documents used by two men to who promised to share "one bread, one wine, and one purse."
The effects of entering into an affrèrement were profound. As [Allan A.] Tulchin explains: "All of their goods usually became the joint property of both parties, and each commonly became the other's legal heir. They also frequently testified that they entered into the contract because of their affection for one another. As with all contracts, affrèrements had to be sworn before a notary and required witnesses, commonly the friends of the affrèrés."
Tulchin acknowledges the difficulties of stating definitively that such civil unions were sexual in nature – just as they would be today. Nonetheless, recognition of same-sex affection and devotion in a period before our own should hardly shock us. I doubt my grandmother's bachelor uncles would be all that surprised.
Frank Kameny: "Not Dead"
Jim Burroway
May 17th, 2007
The legendary gay-rights leader Frank Kameny has released a statement in which he claims that he is "not dead."
Next week's issue of The Advocate, which will hit the newsstands Tuesday, reports that Frank Kameny is one of the leaders we've "lost to AIDS." But Frank Kameny has come forward to deny that he has AIDS or that he is dead. He even says he will turn 82 on Monday, May 21.
Dr. Kameny was fired from his job as an astronomer at the Army Map Service in 1957 when they discovered he was gay. This began his twenty year fight against Civil Service regulations which barred gays from federal employment. He co-founded Washington's Mattachine Society in 1961 and was part of the first picket line of gays and lesbians at the White House on April 17, 1965. And even though Frank is "not dead," you can still read a fitting tribute by Jonathan Rauch. Kameny's papers were recently donated to the Library of Congress.
Richard J. Heakin (1954-1975)

Our local afternoon paper, the tiny but intrepid Tucson Citizen ran a great article yesterday about Richard J. Heakin, Jr., a gay man who was visiting Tucson from Nebraska. In June 6, 1975, the 21-year-old was attacked and killed by four teenagers while leaving a local bar near downtown.
Outraged that the 15- to 17-year-old killers received only probation for what was termed a hate crime, Tucson pressed for change and introduced anti-discrimination laws, new organizations and pride events celebrating the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community.
Then a Tucson committee decided on a memorial and tried to reach the Heakin family. But a dishonest friend supposedly said they wanted nothing to do with it, the family later learned.
The family remained in the dark about the impact Richard's death had in Tucson. It led to Tucson becoming one of the first communities in the nation to pass anti-discrimination laws based on sexual orientation a few months after his death. It also led to the establishment of Wingspan, one of the largest LGBT community centers in the country for a city our size. (Tucsonans like to point out that Phoenix doesn't even have one.) And every year, on June 6, Richard's death is remembered with a gathering at the Richard Heakin Memorial in Tucson's Presidio Park.
And now, thanks to the Internet, Richard's family has learned about the great impact his death has had in our community. His niece tapped his name into a search engine, and a whole world opened up for her and her family.
Heather Ryan typed into an Internet search engine the name of an uncle four teens beat to death in Tucson and discovered a world unknown to the family…
While Lori Ryan, Heakin's sister, was at bingo, her daughter spent the night at their Missouri home tracking down e-mail addresses that resulted in a phone number exchange, which led to a talk with Rowan Frost, one among the group that tried to reach the family years ago.
"We probably still would not have known if she hadn't . . . gone on the Net," Ryan, 49, said in a telephone interview Wednesday. "Making that phone call made all the difference."
So came the tender and thrilling moment when Ryan received a mass of newspaper clippings about various events commemorating her brother. She booked a flight to Tucson so she could get to know the city that has spent decades keeping his name alive.
Tucson's main morning newspaper, The Arizona Daily Star followed up with another story in Ernesto Portillo, Jr.'s column:
She wasn't emotional as she walked up to the shaded memorial bearing her dead brother's name Thursday, but Lori Ryan seemed tentative nonetheless.
It was understandable.
It was the first time Ryan or anyone from her Nebraska family had been to Downtown's Presidio Park to see the 4-year-old plaque bearing the name of her older brother, Richard J. Heakin Jr., a victim of hate and intolerance….
"I never realized his death made such a difference," said Ryan, 49, several hours after her plane landed at the airport. "It's incredible to know that people who didn't know him went through all this."
Most gay communities celebrate Pride during June to commemorate the Stonewall riots. But Tucson waits until October, when the temperature will more reliably remain below 100. This year's Pride is this weekend and Richard Heakin's family will be in attendance. The original grand marshal of the parade even stepped aside so Lori Ryan could have the honor.
Kahlil Gilbran once wrote, "Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars." Some of our greatest advancements are born through terrible loss. Richard Heakin's senseless death more than thirty years ago brought about a great transformation in a small city in the desert. This weekend, we will celebrate our pride in ourselves and in our community's transformation. And we will remember the suffering.
