The 71st annual Golden Globe Awards took place on Jan. 12, 2014, at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. Here is what this Golden Globe winner said backstage in the Golden Globe Awards press room.
Best Actress in a Television Comedy Series
After hosting the Golden Globe Awards in 2013 and 2014, you and Tina Fey were playful but said some things. Did anybody come up to you last year or tonight and say, "I love you, but if you ever say anything like that, I am going to get you"?
No, the room is filled with nominees. So I think most of the people feel like they have already won for the good job that they have done. It is a happy crowd, so everyone is pretty game.
What was the highlight of the night for you tonight?
Kissing Bono and winning and getting to sit at the table with my "Parks and Recreation" cast, which meant a lot to us in Season 6.
How do you and Tina Fey get ready for an event like this?
We write jokes for a long time and sit in very boring clothes and work on computers. It's not very sexy. And then about four hours before the show we dip ourselves in paraffin and go about our evening. We have always worked together. We work hard and last-minute.
Is there any issue with the fact that you were nominated and Tina wasn't?
Oh, gosh, no. Like the category of women that I have been included in many times is so great. We all really like each other a lot and we always kind of joke around about who wins and loses. So we have a really good time. It is kind of weird being a winner. It is a little bit fun being a loser, too. So they are both fun.
Amy, you had to think on your feet so fast. It is live television. Is there anything tonight, where you though, "I have to get through this"?
Yeah, my speech. I really didn't expect to win. Every actress says that, but I didn't because I have never won. I have been here many times at awards shows. So I don't really remember my speech, and being that I knew it was live television and we were four minutes over, I tried to keep it short.
People were talking online about how there are some pretty big upsets this year. What award most surprised you?
Oh, that's a good one. Upsets. I don't follow the predictions very much, so I don't know who was predicted. What were the upsets?
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine"?
Sure, yeah. "Parks and Rec," we were sitting next to the "Brooklyn" table because we share a lot of lovers. So it felt like a shared victory.
This is a very full time in your life and professionally on the show hosting all the things you're doing. What drives you now?
That's a good question. Only in New York. I think what drives me is the opportunities I have now, the people I get to work with, the good work and just "Parks and Recreation" is a job that I love. I don't know if I expressed it eloquently enough up there, but it is truly a dream job to go and work there every day. It is like a dream.
So to do work that I feel proud of that I would actually watch and take it to get to work with people that I like and admire. And tonight was an example of my old friends being there and winning. That's really cool to watch your friends and peers and people and to turn to your right and see your oldest friend, your 20-year-old friend. It feels very personal and professional at the same time. I guess I didn't answer your question.
You said it is personal. Where are you going to keep your Golden Globe?
Oh, this. I told my son I might win an award tonight. He said, "How big is it?" He might be impressed by the size. I'll give it to Archie, my oldest, and he'll give it to Abel when he can hold it.

I recently bought a new LCD monitor. It has an HDMI input, but no DVI. I've used the included DVI-to-HDMI adapter to connect it to my video card. I've found that the ATI drivers by default apply a 8% underscan to HDMI outputs, which with the adapter is how the output is recognized. That results in both a blurry output and part of the screen unused.
While I know already that I can change this through Catalyst Control Center, the problem is that even when I use the same resolution and refresh rate for games, the screen resets and I have to alt-tab into windows, open CCC and set the underscan back to 0%.
Is there any registry setting that can be set to permanently have it default to a 0% underscan whenever it changes video modes?

As the lights dim and the crowd begins to make its way to the front of the stage, you can almost feel the anticipation as those around await the start of the Rocketboys show at Sticky Fingerz.
From the first note, the Rocketboys have captured the hearts of the crowd. Almost as if it were a symbiotic relationship between band and crowd, the band feeds from the energy that the crowd gives to them. The melodies created by their blend of instruments only serve to create a support for the lyrics to their songs. It is not wholly about what the crowd seems to give to the band, but what the band provides in return. It is apparent that the support that the crowd shows for the band serves to drive the music to new levels as the show progresses. You can almost feel the adrenaline building with each passing note of music as the crowd and band seem to merge into one being created from the show.
The Rocketboys are:
- Daniel Wheeler - guitar, aux
- Justin Wiseman - keys
- Mitch Holt - guitar, vocals
- Brandon Kinder - vocals, guitar, piano
- Josh Campbell - bass, vocals
Should the Rocketboys ever come to town, they are definitely a band that you would want to see.

Summer 2006
- On-Line Shopping at U.Va. Due in December
- 684 IS Users Respond to IS User Survey
- SSP Moves from Software to Consulting Vendor Selection
- ISDS Works with Central Offices to Identify Solutions
- Correct Labor Encumbrances (almost) Ready to Roll
- New ISDS Staff
- Current Usability Task Force Projects
- Hints and Tips
684 IS Users Respond to 2006 IS User Survey
684 out of 1,770 users of the Integrated System responded to the 2006 IS User Survey; 146 submitted comments. "Overall, we are seeing increased satisfaction with the system," says Virginia Evans, Assistant Vice President for ISDS. "This year, users rated it a 3.76 (out of 5), compared to 3.48 in 2004. There are still problem areas that we need to address, and we will use the survey responses to help direct our usability priorities. The survey did tell us that, where we made improvements over the last year (e.g., long running reports, increased availability for HR users), people have noticed and responded positively."
A detailed analysis of the survey responses, including comparisons with 2004 and 2005 responses also is available on the IS web site.
A number of issues raised by survey respondents are already on the ISDS radar. As progress is made with each, it will be communicated to system users. These issues include:
- Provide ability to select Cash Balance Report in Discoverer for an entire organization, or multiple projects at a time (see Current Usability Task Force Projects)(due end of year)
- Correct encumbrances for 9-month employees(see Correct Labor Encumbrances Ready to Roll) (due end of August)
- Have ODS available after 5:00 p.m.
- Improve PI reports (see Current Usability Task Force Projects)
- Stage 1: improve format (due by September)
- Stage 2: clean up labor encumbrance data (due in September)
- Stage 3: show project-to-date for the sponsor's budget period (TBD, pending Oracle enhancement)
- Provide training for entering cost transfers between accounts
- Provide an updated list of report names and their purpose
- Explore issue of getting "kicked out" of system (see FAQ)
- Explore slow run times during timekeeper entry periods
- Explore search options for HowDoI? on-line training documentation
- Provide a payroll reconciliation Discoverer report that shows the total hours submitted and paid, along with the pay rate and amount paid per employee assignment (see Current Usability Task Force Projects)(due end of June)
- Add expenditure item date to Expenditure Detail non-grant format
ISDS responses to other comments made by system users can be found in the Hints and Tips in this issue of IS Exchange.
Once again, "it is gratifying to see that 58% of respondents saw improvement in the system over the past year (only 7% disagreed)," says Evans. "And several of the comments made note of improvements as well. That is one of the most significant statistics for us. As we have for the past two years, we will be using the results of this year's survey to stay focused on the issues that have the greatest impact on users."

Judge Strikes Down Florida Vouchers
In a decision widely applauded by school choice opponents, Leon County Circuit Court Judge L. Ralph Smith Jr. ruled on March 14 that the Florida law authorizing the nation's first statewide voucher program is unconstitutional.
According to Smith, the state constitution's directive on public education is violated when public dollars are used to pay for a child's education at a private school. On the other hand, the judge also said that using public dollars to pay for specialized educational services at private schools does not violate the constitution.
"Tax dollars may not be used to send the children of this state to private schools," declared Smith, ruling on the voucher program that has permitted 53 of the state's students to leave their failing public schools and attend private schools. These 53 students may stay in the program through the end of the school year, said Smith, but the state may not issue vouchers to additional children.
Children in failing schools may still transfer to other public schools, since that aspect of the state's program was not challenged.
Clint Bolick, litigation director for the Institute for Justice, which is representing families participating in the program, called the ruling "absurd and unprecedented."
"The public schools have failed these youngsters, and the private schools fulfill the constitutional guarantee of a high-quality public education," he said.
Dermita Merkman, the mother of a 5-year-old voucher student, couldn't understand the judge's ruling. "I'm just wondering how this is unconstitutional, us wanting a better education for our kids," she said, pointing out that the scholarship program gave her daughter a quality education now, not "at some uncertain date" in the future.
Voucher opponents were jubilant over the ruling. In Tallahassee, smiling and laughing Democratic lawmakers and teacher union officials were "giddy" over the announcement, according to the Florida Times-Union. Other voucher foes applauded the news.
"Bless his heart!" exulted Larry Davis, principal of the failing North Shore Elementary School. "Finally the laws are in favor of the schools."
"Yes!" shouted Florida NAACP president Adora Obi Nweze of Miami. "I'm so happy, I'm so proud."
Florida's statewide Opportunity Scholarship Program, the first of its kind in the nation, was designed to provide a last-ditch escape for parents who found their children trapped in schools deemed chronic low-performers by the state. Last fall, only two schools fell into that category, and 52 students took advantage of the scholarship program to transfer to secular and religious private schools. This fall, as many as 60,000 students would have been eligible to transfer from an estimated 78 failing public schools.
Judge Smith ruled the voucher program "violates the mandate of Article IX, section 1, Florida Constitution, that the State provide a free education through a system of 'public schools'. By providing state funds for some students to obtain a K-12 education through private schools, as an alternative to the high quality education available through the system of free public schools, the legislature violated the mandate of the Florida Constitution, adopted by the electorate of this state." [emphasis added]
The constitution's requirement that K-12 public education be accomplished through a "system of free public schools" is "a prohibition on the Legislature to provide a K-12 education in any other way," declared Smith. However, he continued, this prohibition does not apply if the state cannot meet a student's needs in the public schools. Thus, programs that provide specialized services at private schools, such as those for disabled, disruptive, and violent students, "do not appear to violate Article IX, section 1."
Reg Brown, Governor Jeb Bush's deputy general counsel, called the judge's legal analysis "novel but unsupported by the plain language of the constitution or sound public policy." He said Article IX, section 1 of the constitution was approved by the voters in 1998 to guarantee adequate public school financing, not to "prohibit the state from doing anything else."
Parent Tracy Richardson told a March 27 U.S. House Subcommittee Hearing in Tampa how the public school in Pensacola had failed to meet her daughter Khaliah's educational needs. There, school officials blamed Khaliah for her inability to learn and punished her for not being able to do her homework. Now a voucher student in a Montessori school, Khaliah is excelling and excited about learning.
"In the six months that she's been there, the greatest single improvement in my daughter's education is her spirit," Richardson told the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. "Instead of me waking her to go to school . . . she wakes me up. I see hope and excitement."
But Richardson's views don't sway the program's opponents. According to Bob Chanin, general counsel for the National Education Association, "it is irrelevant whether the parents of a voucher student are satisfied or dissatisfied with the education that their children receive."
George A. Clowes is managing editor of School Reform News.

Memoirs, accounts, and informational books on what we're eating and how it effects our bodies and our communities are making us pause before we put that bag of frozen chicken breasts into our shopping carts. You know what else they're doing? Making us feel guilty. And hey, a little guilt here and there is good for us, but we're skeptical of anyone who easily alters their diet, starts eating only raw foods, and prepares balanced meals every night of the week. That's why we were glad we picked up Eating Animals ($9) by Jonathan Safran Foer. Foer does plenty of investigative journalism that makes us squirm to think about what's in our food these days, but he also squirms himself. He never judges, digs deep into his own convictions and habits, and writes a book we just couldn't put down!
this is a great book! the one thing i love so much about this book is just how its informational and not 100% in your face pro vegan/vegetarian like others I've read!

He reviewed ATS, and now he speaks his opinion on LT. This review seems pretty realistic, and ultimately optimistic to me.
Read it and discuss your thoughts.
He reviewed ATS, and now he speaks his opinion on LT. This review seems pretty realistic, and ultimately optimistic to me.
Read it and discuss your thoughts.
I just look at ratings when they are long. 6/10. Well to him his own opinion. But it makes sense as reviewers aren't going to be like 9/10 like LP fans
I don't think I want to read a review by a man called Firecloud.
I stopped reading at the this paragraph:
This is when I realized this reviewer, and his opinions, are worthless. Anyone that's ever read more than one fiction book, watched more than one movie, listened to more than one album, realizes that the plot lines are all gone. The breadth of the struggles humans face have been covered. Anyone begging the question that the reviewer does in this paragraph is bitching for bitching's sake because he's a critic and feels the need to be down on albums as much as possible.When the ragepimping millionaires shift gears and focus on the futility of a doomed relationship - or the inadequate manner in which the offending female bid adieu - the question arises: what is any of this really about in the universe of Linkin Park? Five albums in, is there really still no resolution to the lyrical struggles we've heard since their outset? Has there truly been no evolution of theme and struggle beyond the ebb and flow of instrumentation and production trends?
Last edited by Adam.; 06-22-2012 at 07:14 PM. Reason: Taking out a compliment the reviewer didn't deserve.
I never can take any critic seriously. Also it is cool to hate on LP.
He says how Mike doesn't change his formula at all. I really can't recollect much, if any, change from rap legends such as Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tupac or B.I.G. Or even Eminem for that matter.
My comment on his article has more likes than his article.
Have some, Mr. Firedouche.
My bloodtype is KRYLON - Technicolor Type-A
Today...I looked for a sign. With flames in my hands. A line in the sand between yours and mine.
Who the hell is Johnny Firecloud and why the hell should we care about him or his reviews?
Whoever bumped this deserves to be punched. Congrats, you just earned this guy more page views. -_-

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jul 01st, 1994
Running Time: 85
Director: Jim Enright
Company: Wicked Pictures
Cast: Lynn LeMay, Janet Jacme, Dominique Simone, Sean Michaels, Steven St. Croix
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Booty By Nature is about relationships, gossip, jealousy, an upcoming school reunion and a best butt contest. It's kind of like a viewers' multiple choice, and Jim Enright wisely concentrates more on the sex, allowing Raven Touchstone's congested, multi-directional script to play in traffic and find its own audience.
Sean Michaels and Janet Jacme work very well off one another, the fuse in their relationship being lit by the fact that he's currently out of work and doesn't want to face former school chums, while Janet seems to be the prime target of sniping female sarcasm.
Lynn LeMay plays the chief harridan of gossip, as she drifts on a swing looking like a XXX Jean Simmons in a 1950's 20th Century Fox film. Lynn's back-and-forth pontificating on Janet's various shortcomings finds her joined by Janet's "friends" Kim Chambers and Domonique for purposes of character assassination. The swing banter intercuts with the vid's main body of action, forming the show's modus operands. Convoluted as it might sound, it's more confusing, describing it.
Michaels worships Janet's butt in their scene and comes on her ass after doggie-fucking her. In a flashback, Michaels illustrates his recreant nature by taking Kim Chambers in a warehouse and lucking her ass till the tattoo on her butt changes expression. Janet gets lucked in the ass, missionary-style, by school jock Steven St Croix in another flashback, and, Domonique, obviously now in her Naomi Campbell fashion period, bends over and takes Julian St. Fox's dick with unrestricted accommodation. An all-girl scene rounds out the sex action with Lynn and Kim playing stick the rubber dick in Domonique. Wicked Pictures has authored a number of hot-looking interracial titles, and a smart move would be to start including a few of these in your store's inventory.

Ducks Strike Early, Cardinal Rally Late in MPSF Final
Courtesy: GoDucks.com
Release Date: 05/01/2011
Alex Breiner was one of four Ducks (8-9) to register three points. The senior finished with one goal and two assists to tie the school record with 64 points this season and concludes her career with 181 points (third most in school history).
Bina Barrett , Jess Drummond and Shannon Propst each contributed three points of their own to the Oregon attack. Barrett tallied two goals and an assist while Drummond and Propst each recorded hat tricks for the afternoon.
Oregon opened the game with a huge surge, scoring the first seven goals of the afternoon and forcing Stanford to burn a timeout to regroup. Barrett started the onslaught with an unassisted tally 2:38 into the contest, an assist on Drummond's first goal at 3:16 and another goal of her own eight seconds later to make it 3-0.
The score remained 3-0 until Propst and Drummond scored 14 seconds apart to put UO up by five at the 6:24 mark. Propst then fired home a Breiner feed to expand the lead with less than 20 minutes left in the opening frame. Drummond capped the game-opening surge with a free position goal at the 14:32 mark to give Oregon its largest lead of the day.
The Cardinal responded with the next four goals to cut the deficit to three, a run that was capped by Catherine Swanson's goal with 2:10 remaining. Jana Drummond quelled the run nine seconds later to make it an 8-4 game at halftime.
Stanford continued its comeback bid and pulled back to within three on a Karen Nesbitt goal 4:56 into the second half. After Sarah Flynn cut the deficit to 8-6 1:39 later, Breiner made it a 9-6 game with her 38th tally of the year 51 seconds later.
From there, the Cardinal scored three unanswered goals to tie the contest at nine apiece with 12:44 expired in the final period. Propst completed her hat trick by cashing in on a Colleen Taggart feed to give the Ducks the lead once again with 11:16 remaining in the contest. However, Stanford evened the score at 10-10 38 seconds later and then went ahead for good on goals by Leslie Foard and Flynn with just over five minutes left to cap the scoring.
Stanford outshot Oregon, 41-20, on the afternoon and held a 13-7 advantage in ground balls. Oregon did win 13 of 24 draw controls.
Caroline Federighi earned the start for the second consecutive contest and made a season-high 15 saves on 27 shots. She was placed on the All-MPSF Tournament team along with Breiner and Jess Drummond .
Oregon concludes the 2011 season having made its deepest run in the MPSF Tournament in school history, getting within a game of its first NCAA Tournament appearance.

Facebook will reportedly file its long-anticipated IPO between April and June of next year, according to The Wall Street Journal. The initial public offering will value Facebook at more than $100 billion, according to people "familiar with the matter".
Facebook is raising $10 billion in its IPO - which would be one of the largest ever, in a deal that might give Facebook a $100 billion valuation, something that is double when compared to a company such as HP.
Larry Yu, a spokesman for Facebook has said "We're not going to participate in speculation about an IPO". More on the IPO talk is available at the source.

The Philadelphia region will once again be home to a first of its kind theme park in the United States. Already home to Sesame Place in Bucks County, the country's first theme park based on the characters from Sesame Street, South Jersey will soon be home to Duggy and Dotty at Diggerland.
And if all goes according to plan, playing in dirt will have a whole new meaning once the gates to the 14-acre Diggerland swing open this summer.
The United Kingdom's most unique attraction where children and adults have the chance to ride and operate real full-size construction equipment is set to open this summer next to Sahara Sam's Oasis water park off Route 73 in West Berlin, Camden County, New Jersey.
According to its website, Diggerland allows children and adults to drive and ride real, full-sized construction machinery under the guidance of staff. The construction equipment is modified however for safety. While a parent and child will be able to operate a six-ton digger by picking up and moving dirt, the vehicle itself is stationary.
With four sites up and running in the UK, Diggerland's website promises you are never too far away from digging to your hearts content. An official announcement on the South Jersey development is expected this month. The first Diggerland Adventure Park opened in 2000 in Kent, England and was the creation of Hugh Edeleanu, the Chairman of H.E. Services, the largest supplier of digging construction equipment for hire in Europe.
It was during a family day at his company that Edeleanu noticed that children were fascinated by all the heavy machinery on the grounds of his property. A light bulb went off when he realized that the kids enjoyed sitting in the cabs of diggers and other larger-than-life toys. It was then that Edeleanu says the idea of a playroom theme park was born.
The concept behind Diggerland is simple yet unique. If you build it, they will come but you just can't put some construction equipment on a site when the gates open. Designers have incorporated some two dozen different rides and drives and every year look to incorporate new attractions into the parks. Additionally all rides must be construction-based but must also offer the thrills and excitement that guests have come to expect in the ever-changing theme park experience.
South Jersey officials say they are excited about the project realizing the unique construction equipment theme park will have a major boost to the economy and other area businesses. If Diggerland follows the blueprint for success that was used by Sesame Place in Langhorne, Bucks County, what was once a remote stop off of Interstate 95 has become a popular regional tourist destination pulling visitors primarily from the east coast but also attracting families with young children from across the country.
When Sesame Place opened in 1980 it was located on three acres and featured a handful of play areas and computer labs where kids could interact with Big Bird, Bert and Ernie and Cookie Monster. Since opening day the park has expanded to 14 acres with more rides and water attractions. The park also created a ripple effect for Bucks County with job creation and the building of shopping centers and hotels.
What is a theme park without a gift shop? The four UK Diggerlands now sell "Digger" clothing and gifts to guests and have added activities including Digger and Dumper Racing and Team Building events for the corporate market.
Ground already has been broken for the South Jersey location and all of the necessary permits and paperwork have been approved by officials. Diggerland USA is expected to swing open its chain-link fences in time for the busy summer tourist season.

The Wolverine reviewed
Hugh Jackman's The Wolverine is a film of redemption with an attempt at revolution.PT2M54S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2q9j1 620 349 July 19, 2013
Hugh Jackman's The Wolverine is a film about redemption.
Redemption for Jackman's character Logan, who was responsible for Jean Grey's death at the end of X-Men 3.
When mutant powers are shown, the film seems slightly embarrassed as if it has fallen off the wagon.
And redemption for Jackman and the Wolverine franchise after their admitted misstep with X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Crucible ... Logan's journey to Japan in The Wolverine
It is also an attempt at revolution. This is the first X-Men film to lose the X-Men title, and the first X-Men film to try and operate in a different genre. This is not a comic book movie as we've come to know them.
In both regards, redemption and revolution, within the film and as a film, The Wolverine succeeds, without excelling.
We find Logan living hermit-like in a cave, somewhere in the North American wilderness. Tortured over his past deeds, he vows never to kill again, be a hero again or be Wolverine again. Existence is a perpetual agony, a memory of physical and emotional pain.
A drawn out pain ... Viper and Wolverine face off in The Wolverine
Life has other plans however, and soon Logan is in Japan, faced with a ghost from his past with an offer to relieve him of the curse of immortality as shadowy unknown threats challenge and surround him.
Director James Mangold aimed to make a noir film in Japan, and he does, painting Wolverine as a Ronin: A Samurai without a master. Nor does he have an enemy. There is no world-threatening evil villain in this film, rather, separated from the X-Men both titularly and geographically, a damsel in distress is the catalyst for our hero - for whom life is meaningless - to be placed in the crucible of a country in which we are told "nothing is without meaning". Even the Nagasaki atomic bombing is used to highlight the ability for all things to heal.
If that sounds insanely ambitious, it's because it is.
Highlight ... Rila Fukushima as Yukio in The Wolverine
This is a film that from its choice of camera lens and focus to its frequent use of subtitled Japanese dialogue wants to be different to - and more than - the X-Men movies we have seen. And it works, sporadically.
There are moments of sheer brilliance. A bullet-train based melee may prove the best fight sequence of the year and you'll wince when Wolverine's adamantium claws meet their match – have no fear there is plenty of action here, it's just not the focus.
In addition, new characters Yukio and Mariko are strong, complex women. And the pain-of-all-kinds experienced by Logan is visceral, drawn-out and convincingly transformative.
Damsel in distress ... Tao Okamoto as Mariko Yashida in The Wolverine
Yet from the almost incessant Jean Grey flashbacks to an admittedly potent end-of-credits scene, this is still an X-Men film and Logan's frustration brought about through self-denial mirrors our own.
The film has new strengths but is held back by refusing to use its old ones as well. When mutant powers are shown, the film seems slightly embarrassed as if it has fallen off the wagon.
On top of all this, the story deals with the issues created by events in X-Men 3, when even the filmmakers acknowledge it's best that we all try and forget that film entirely. (Just remember that Wolverine was forced to kill Jean Grey, who he loved, and you're fine.)
So The Wolverine is a good movie, without being great. A laudable piece of ambition but only an adequate execution. And a great Wolverine story but only a good X-Men movie.
Finally, it is the journey of Logan from martyr to soldier; one that is fascinating to see, but at the end, it's even better to think that the real Wolverine might be back.
The Wolverine opens nationally on July 25.

No one blends the bittersweet, the ironic with comedy quite like Neil Simon. He takes painful situations and works through them with humor. The third vignette from California Suite (Visitors from London) might have been inspired by the popular joke. Jessica tells her best friend, Monica, how thrilled she is with her new beau. He is warm, sensitive, demonstrative, and attentive to her emotional needs. "He sounds perfect," exclaims Monica. "There's just one problem," Monica explains, "he's gay." So it is with Sidney and Diana Nichols, an antiques dealer and his wife, a British Theatre Diva on a par with Glenda Jackson or Judi Dench. While their disparate orientations are not the focal point, we begin to wonder if a straight man would be quite so patient with Diana's histrionics.
Diana has been nominated for Best Actress, and they're visiting America to attend the Oscars. We see them dressing before the event, all dry, erudite insouciance, and returning afterwards, Diana self-medicating with undiluted gin. Simon plays on our assumptions of British celebrity. We imagine they're lofty, frosty and effete, but of course, when they're alone, the facades crumble. Nothing too trenchant here, all in all, it's light, nimble pleasure, but, like so much of Simon, the disappointments and compromises we must navigate to survive are evident and unvarnished.
In the first vignette (Visitor from New York) Hannah Warren, ex-wife of William Warren, is in town to pick up their teenage daughter, in compliance with their custody arrangements. The daughter has made it clear she'd rather spend the rest of her senior school year with dad. Hannah is wry and bitter, if also self-possessed. When she suggests contention between all parents and adolescents, she's not wrong, though it's unclear if she expresses this opinion more for her own sake, than by way of mitigation. Of California Suite's four pieces, this one is probably the most excruciating. Hannah must make the best choice for her daughter (she and William are divorced, but not antagonistic) at a time when she's fighting with isolation and despair. True to form, Simon provides her with gags to alleviate the ache.
The other two vignettes, Marvin Michaels must hide a (drunken, passed out) escort from his wife, Millie, and two couples visiting from Chicago, who get along better when they're not so close, have more to do with physical comedy, though irony still informs the plot. There's a deprecating, throwaway quality to so much of Simon's banter. It feels innocuous, cavalier, but it's like an invisible scalpel. It's Simon's way of performing surgery while applying just enough local anesthetic to ease the sting. Standouts in this exceptional cast (with inspired guidance from Director Rachael Lindley) include Janette Oswald (Diana ) Victoria Craig (Hannah) Christopher Dean (William) Greg Phillips (Marvin) and Leigh Moore (Millie).

Ah, that infamous B bar chord. Yes, it has a life and story of its own in the vivid imagination of every beginner guitar player. For beginners, oftentimes that B bar chord is one of the hardest to nail, and at times it can become a source of discouragement as well.
This lesson from Colin of RiffNinja.com is intended to thoroughly discuss the B chord, and put to rest any remaining doubts or questions you have about how to play that chord.
The B chord is essentially a "kink" bar, also called a double bar. This makes it hard, because you have not one, but two fingers that have to create bars, which takes more strength than regular bar chords. Additionally, because of the kink component, you have to really kink your middle finger up sharply in order to let the first string ring out as part of the chord. If you don't get that part, the chord falls flat and doesn't sound very good.
The other element that comes into play here is that the B bar chord, at least the root 5 version, is very low down on the fretboard, rooted on the second fret. The closer you get to the nut (ie fret #0), the farther apart each fret is from the next. This means that to span multiple frets, your fingers have to stretch further than they do at say the fifth fret to make the same chord shape.
The B bar chord is difficult, but it is also tremendously useful. B is the V chord in the key of E, and E is one of the more common keys you'll find used on the guitar.
Learning the B Bar Chord
If you enjoyed that lesson with Colin, I recommend checking out his other lessons on guitar chords.

In addition to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, tropical storm warnings are in effect for Barbados, St. Lucia, Dominica, Vieques and Culebra. A tropical storm watch is in effect for St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Bertha was centered about 20 miles northwest of Fort De France, Martinique and was moving west-northwest near 24 mph.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Bertha is expected to pass near or north of Barbados Friday afternoon.

Fund July 14, 2008
Wade Rathke founded the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), for which he served as Chief Organizer from 1970 to 2008. He is also the co-founder and Chairman of the Tides Center; a Board member of the Tides Foundation; an Executive Board member of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU); and Chairman of the AFL-CIO's Organizers Forum. Rathke describes himself as someone who is dedicated to "winning social justice, workers' rights, and a democracy where 'the people shall rule'"; i.e., socialism. Rathke hails from a family of prosperous orange ranchers in Orange County, California. During the late 1960s he attended Williams College in Massachusetts but dropped out before graduating. He thereafter became a draft-resistance organizer for the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), and an organizer for George Wiley's National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO). (For details on NWRO, see the separate entries for George Wiley and the "Cloward-Piven Strategy.") In 1970, Wiley sent Rathke to Little Rock, Arkansas to begin organizing NWRO chapters in the South. By that time, Wiley -- who was African American -- was coming under attack by black militants who opposed his policy of placing whites such as Rathke in NWRO leadership positions. Rathke, perhaps sensing that he might soon be demoted or released entirely, in 1970 formed a new organization called Arkansas Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). He enlisted civil rights workers and trained them in a program (at Syracuse University) patterned after Saul Alinsky's activist tactics. The group's name was later changed to Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, but the acronym ACORN remained the same. In keeping with George Wiley's original vision, Rathke gave ACORN a wider mission than that of NWRO. Instead of focusing solely on welfare recipients, ACORN would address issues touching all low-income people -- most notably "living wage" ordinances, "affordable" (i.e., taxpayer-funded) housing, mortgage lending, and voter-registration drives. Under Rathke's leadership, ACORN grew rapidly. Today it claims more than 400,000 dues-paying member families, and more than 1,200 chapters in 110 U.S. cities. (The organization is also active in Canada and Mexico). The Florida recount crisis in the 2000 presidential election served to inject Rathke and his fellow ACORN activists with a heightened sense of urgency to advance their political agendas. Initially, Miami-Dade County's all-Democrat canvassing board moved the recount into a room too small to accomodate reporters or Republican observers. At the same time, the board announced that since its members lacked time to hand-count all the ballots, they would only count some ballots -- presumably, Republicans feared, selecting a disproportionate number of those that had been cast for Al Gore. The ensuing uproar, which featured Republicans pounding on the counting-room door and an angry crowd of Cuban-Americans gathered outside the building demanding entry, persuaded the nervous canvassing board to back down from its illegal plan -- and perhaps prevented the Democrats from stealing the election. "[W]e allowed conservatives to steal pages from our playbook and do actions on us in Dade County," Rathke later lamented in his magazine Social Policy. "We need an edge, some harder steel on the rim." With new resolve, Rathke and ACORN thereafter pushed into high gear their efforts to help Democrat candidates win political elections at any cost. Toward that end, ACORN's mass campaigns of voter-registration fraud would reach unprecedented heights in subsequent election cycles. ACORN's paid workers, tasked with registering as many pro-Democrat voters as possible, submitted many tens of thousands of fraudulent voter-registration cards in key voting districts around the United States. By 2008, federal authorities were investigating voter fraud by ACORN in 12 separate states. On June 2, 2008, Rathke stepped down from his role as ACORN's President. A month after his departure, the organization publicly acknowledged that Dale Rathke -- Wade's brother -- had embezzled nearly $1 million from ACORN and its affiliated groups in 1999 and 2000. ACORN further admitted that for eight years its executives had known about Dale's activity but had kept it secret from almost all of their board members and from law-enforcement authorities. According to journalist Stephanie Strom, Wade Rathke "said the decision to keep the matter secret was not made to protect his brother but because word of the embezzlement would have put a 'weapon' into the hands of enemies of ACORN, a liberal group that is a frequent target of conservatives who object to its often strident advocacy on behalf of low- and moderate-income families and workers." Tides Foundation founder and president Drummond Pike personally repaid the embezzled amount to ACORN. Today Wade Rathke disseminates his political views by means of a blog he administers on his website, WadeRathke.net. In a July 25, 2008 blog post titled "Herr Obama," Rathke celebrated the excitement that had attended Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama's recent tour of Europe:
"Can you remember the last time an American who didn't have a microphone in one hand and a guitar in another drew 200,000 people anywhere in Europe? And, that would have been as part of a festival where they were serving beer at the least. For 200,000 people to come out and hear a candidate for President is an amazing phenomenon. It makes me think that there is an excitement -- and hope -- around the world that America as the world's leader, might actually be a leader and have a leader that the world is willing to respect and hear differently."

It makes me think that there is an excitement -- and hope -- around the world that America as the world's leader, might actually be a leader and have a leader that the world is willing to respect and hear differently."
In 2009, Rathke resurrected the crusades of NWRO by pursuing a so-called "Maximum Eligible Participation Solution" (MEPS) which exhorted all Americans eligible for welfare payments to make "full utilization of existing programs" and thereby advance Rathke's dream of a massive welfare state. The MEPS is essentially an updated incarnation of the old Cloward-Piven Strategy, aiming to orchestrate a crisis that will overwhelm the financial system and cause it to collapse. Rathke writes in his book, "it is hard to believe that we cannot assemble the troops to mount a campaign for maximum eligible participation that harvests the opportunities and dollars already available if we could achieve full utilization of existing programs." Rathke has also said that technology should be utilized to make it as easy as possible for people to claim welfare benefits.
In his 2009 book Citizen Wealth: Winning the Campaign to Save Working Families), Rathke explicitly hailed "Cloward and Piven's exciting call to arms." In March 2011, Rathke issued a call for "days of rage in ten cities around JP Morgan Chase." That call culminated in the formation, later that year, of the anti-capitalist Occupy Wall Street movement, whose street protests were part of what Rathke described as his "anti-banking jihad." Rathke's efforts were supported by Stephen Lerner, an SEIU board member and radical-left organizer who candidly aims to "destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement"; "bring down the stock market"; "bring down [the] bonuses" of executives in the financial sector; and "interfere with their ability to ... be rich."

I have mixed feelings about this one:
"Soldiers with minority religious beliefs and atheists often feel like second-class citizens when Christianity is seemingly officially endorsed by their own base," American Atheists president David Silverman told Fox News. "We are very happy the Pentagon and the Army decided to do the right thing." A military spokesman told Fox News the cross was literally dismantled and will be removed from the base to be in "compliance with Army regulations and to avoid any misconception of religious favoritism or disrespect." "After a Christian prayer, the cross was removed from the roof of the chapel," the spokesman said. "During the removal, the cross was dismantled; however the cross was reassembled and currently awaits transportation to a larger operational base." The military told Fox News the cross will only be brought out during Christian services and will be designated as a "non-permanent religious symbol." Silverman said a Christian chapel on an Army base in Afghanistan could have put American troops in danger. "It inflames this Muslim versus Christian mentality," he said. "This is not a Muslim versus Christian war — but if the Army base has a large chapel on it that has been converted to Christian-only, it sends a message that could be interpreted as hostile to Islam." An Army spokesman said all chapels must be religiously neutral. "The primary purpose of making a chapel a neutral, multi-use facility is to accommodate the free exercise of religion for all faith groups using it," he said. "We take the spiritual fitness of our Soldiers seriously and encourage them to practice their faith and exercise their beliefs however they choose." Retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, of the Family Research Council, told Fox News a Christian cleansing of the military is under way. "I don't think you can categorize it any other way," he said. "There is a strong effort, led partially by the Administration as well as by atheist groups to destroy the identity of who we are as a nation and that means robbing us of our history." —- Military: Crosses Removed 'Out of Respect for Other Faiths' | FOX News & Commentary: Todd Starnes
On one hand, I would hate to think that having Christian symbols on a battle front could be putting our Military at risk. On the other hand, I would hate to see Christianity being removed from the Military entirely. However, we are in a Muslim Nation is Afghan region; one would think that the Military would want to be respectful of those people and their culture.
It is a mixed bag, and all the more reason why we really need to get out of that Country. Our mission is done there; we killed Osama and we need to leave. We do not want to make the same mistake the Russians made there. Besides all that, Al-Qaeda has moved into other regions and is much more a threat to other interests in other parts for the world now.
So, to this Independent, the quicker we leave, the better.

"As a veteran, I feel as if the value of my service is being eroded. I am a member of Leander Veterans of Foreign Wars and I am sure most of my comrades feel the same" – An Austin veteran of the Korean War
Memorial Day is the holiday most veterans revere above all other celebrations honored by our government. So it came as a big surprise when it became known that the Leander Texas Independent School District (ISD) had scheduled Memorial Day, 2014 as a date for a bad weather make-up day. This was especially amazing since Memorial Day is a federal holiday established by 5 U.S. Code § 6103.
On February 6, 2014, parents from the Leander ISD attended a meeting of its board of trustees to voice their displeasure and asked that they change their decision. Superintendent Bret Champion explained to the parents that the decision must stand at the moment but they are examining alternatives.
Veronica Sopher, Leander ISD's Executive Director for School and Community Relations, commented in an interview that no disrespect was intended to any veterans or families of veterans. However, she said, "We are bound by state law and teachers' contracts as to when the start of school will be and how many holidays can be scheduled. We have very little flexibility on when we can schedule make-up days for educational days that are lost because of weather."
James Crabtree, a major in the U.S. Marine Corp Reserve fervently voiced his feelings to the board members,
I served in Iraq with a battalion, which lost 10 good Marines. Memorial Day is the one day our nation has set aside to honor them and all who have given their lives in our armed forces. Surely the board can find another day, any day, in which to make up for the ice day. Already this year the board chose to recognize Columbus Day but have children in school on Veterans Day. To have classes now on Memorial Day as well is not only wrong, it is unpatriotic.
Other Austin veterans also commented on this story. An Army veteran of the Korean War said,
As a veteran I feel as if the value of my service is being eroded. I am a member of Leander VFW and I am sure most of my comrades feel the same. speak with feelings on the value of Memorial Day, many gave all, and I personally have a brother who was killed at Normandy, 24 June 44. The school board has a lot of different options, unfortunately they chose this holiday. I only hope they will reverse their decision.
An Air Force pilot in Vietnam (Lt. Col, ret) added, "I don't like what the Leander ISD school has done, but I'm hoping that Leander citizens will protest this action."
And an Army Captain stationed in Thailand during the Vietnam War, was concerned about the overall effect this type of decision is having on our culture. He said, "It is all part of the dumbing down program to belittle what made this country the exceptional place it is. One way to destroy our history (heritage) is ignore significant holidays especially those of a religious nature or of honoring that which made us great."
However, what has not yet been reported is the Leander ISD had already scheduled a Student Holiday-Staff Development" on February 3, 2014. on their 2013-2014 District Calendar. Perhaps a question for them might be, "Why couldn't the make-up day be scheduled on this day instead of Memorial Day, especially since students were not attending classes anyway?"
Thinking people might wonder why the Leander ISD didn't follow the policy of adjacent Lake Travis ISD which scheduled their Bad Weather Makeup Day on President's Day, February 17, 2014. Marco Alvarado, Director of Communications at Lake Travis ISD, related that their Calendar Committee, a part of their Curriculum and Instruction Department, decided their makeup days so they would have the least impact on students, parents and the community. This was certainly a sensible decision on their part on how to deal with the unusual weather the Austin area has been dealing with this winter.
Veterans deplore any attempt to detract or degrade holidays or celebrations that are near and dear to us such as that done by Leander ISD. They could have been taken other actions that would have eliminated this ridiculous decision in the first place. We applaud the actions of nearby Lake Travis ISD and all others in and nearby our Austin metroplex area that thoughtfully planned their school calendars accordingly.

By Corky Simpson
Frank Busch enjoys a morning climb up the diving tower at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center, not to work on his reverse one- and-a-half ?with three-and-a-half twists -- but to see what's new in ˇ?the dig."
Never has a hole in the ground made a man happier than the "dig" on the University of Arizona's McKale Center lawn.
Itˇ?s the $20 million construction project that will provide new swimming and diving, gymnastics, basketball and volleyball practice facilities.
The target date for completion is September or October of 2008.
"Awesome," said Busch, the Wildcat swimming coach after a recent peek from the diving tower. ˇ?Iˇ?ve never been any place where they did so much for swimming and diving. ?This will help us tremendously,ˇ± he said.
ˇ?It will allow us to spread the team out so we're not so congested. It gives us more water-space. We'll have an extra eight lanes for swimming.? There'll be four more than that if the diving team isn't practicing."
Excited, coach? ?"Oh, boy!? This will really be something," said Busch, one of the most respected coaches in the country. ˇ?It will benefit all the sports involved, thatˇ?s whatˇ?s really great about it.ˇ±
The new construction could also allow for an often-discussed women's water polo team, which could begin competition by 2010 if the UA adds the additional sport to its 19-sport menu.
One pool that doesn't show up on the blueprints but certainly figures into the plans is the talent pool. ?It figures to be enlarged, thanks to the state-of-the-art facilities. And it ought to create even more enthusiasm for aquatics locally.
Busch notes that in the past six years or so, there has been an increase in the number of high school athletes in the Tucson area who have made a splash in Division I competition, such as Tyler DeBerry and Dave Rollins from Sabino High School and Lacey Nymeyer from Mountain View.
"Tucson has grown so much since I first came here," Busch said.? "Pima County is about a million in population now, which means it probably has doubled since I came here in 1989. The more people there are, the more outstanding athletes will emerge.? Look at Lute (Olson) and the fine basketball players he has recruited out of the state in the last 10 or 12 years,ˇ± Busch said.
Busch, a native Kentuckian, has built Arizona swimming and diving into one of the nation's strongest collegiate programs.? He won his fourth NCAA Men's Coach of the Year award in 2005-06. ?Moreover, as Rocky LaRose, senior associate athletics director, points out, ˇ?Frank was awarded the first ever McKale Award as the UA Coach of the Year, voted on by Wildcat student-athletes.ˇ±
ˇ?Frank truly cares about his student-athletes and that shows in his coaching,ˇ± LaRose said. ˇ?He is so respected by the athletes.? His character is above reproach and he has found this incredible balance between being firm and competitive and being caring and fatherly. Thatˇ?s a great combination that any university, any AD, any athlete would want in a coach,ˇ± she said.
Athletic director Jim Livengood couldnˇ?t agree more. ˇ?Frank Busch is truly a remarkable man,ˇ± Livengood said.? ˇ?First and foremost, he is an amazing husband, father, role model and leader. The fact that he is the best in his profession just adds frosting to the cake.
ˇ?Itˇ?s hard to imagine that anyone in college athletics gets more out of what they have than does Frank.? He never complains, is appreciative of everything he has and gets ?C and he works every day to get better,ˇ± Livengood said.
ˇ?There are few Frank Buschˇ?s in the world and we are lucky to have one right here at the U of A.? I hope everyone knows and appreciates what a jewel we have in this man and the Busch family. I feel better regarding what weˇ?re all about every time Iˇ?m around Frank Busch,ˇ± Livengood said.
It will be a busy summer, as usual, for the quiet man from Kentucky, ˇ?coaching kids here, having kids compete in the Pan-Am Games and the World University Games,ˇ± he said of his normal offseason. Then thereˇ?s the national championships meet in Indianapolis in August, involving probably 35 of Frankˇ?s athletes.
Busch is a man with a noble disposition who sees life steadily, and sees it whole. Swimming, he says, involves much discipline and commitment. ˇ?These athletes swim before school in the morning,ˇ± he said, ˇ?and they swim after school at night.? In between, they study and they put that discipline exercised in swimming into their classwork.ˇ±
It pays off. The women's team finished second and the men's team third in the NCAA Championships a few months back.
The commitment to excellence and exposure to discipline is one reason Busch says, ˇ?We get calls from corporations asking us ˇ®What seniors do you have?ˇ?? They know how very dedicated our athletes are and thatˇ?s the kind of people they want to hire.ˇ±
And as LaRose pointed out, Frank Busch is the kind of man any university would want to hire. The UA is as proud of him as Busch is of that ˇ?new digˇ± he loves to check on each morning.

Management practices and processes frequently differ across national and regional boundaries. What may be acceptable managerial behaviour in one culture may be counterproductive or even unacceptable in another. As managers increasingly find themselves working across cultures, the need to understand these differences has become increasingly important. This book examines why these differences exist and how global managers can develop strategies and tactics to deal with them. Key features: · Draws on recent research in anthropology, psychology, and management, to explain the cultural and psychological underpinnings that shape managerial attitudes and behaviours · Introduces a learning model to guide in the intellectual and practical development of managers seeking enhanced global expertise · Offers user-friendly conceptual models to guide understanding and exploration of topics · Summarizes and integrates the lessons learned in each chapter in applications-oriented 'Manager's Notebooks' · A companion website featuring course outlines, slides, and case studies is available at www.cambridge.org/management_across_cultures.

Hwaeomsa Temple - 화엄사 (華嚴寺) (reputedly founded 544, most buildings 17th century onward)
Hwaeomsa temple is the head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. It was reputedly founded in the year 544 by Yeongi Josa during the Silla dynasty. Although it contains a number of intact relics from the Silla era, including several stupas and stone lanterns, most of the temple buildings were destroyed during the war with Japan from 1592-98. The wooden buildings seen today were mostly built in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Thanks for the informative site. However, Hwaomsa is NOT the head temple of the Jogye Order. It is headquarters of the 19th regional district or parish of the Jogye Order. The jogye Order head temple is Jogyesa in Seoul.Website: www.truedharmaworks.org
I visited this temple after a long hike on Jirisan. It is one of the most beautiful places I've been and appreciate it very much. I hope to return some day. Komsa hamnida
