Mitt's Mormonism and Muslims among top religion stories of 2011
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The biggest religion story of the year was "Religion in the 2012 election," and the biggest chunk of that coverage was presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Mormon faith.
Every year the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion and Public Life analyzes the mainstream media's coverage of religion.
In 2010, religion took up 2 percent of the "newshole" — the total coverage of all subjects by the news media. That was a banner year for religion coverage and some hoped it would be a trend. But in 2011 the total amount of religion coverage dropped to 0.7 percent of total news coverage. That is about the same amount of coverage given race/gender/gay issues (0.8 percent) and immigration (0.7 percent).
Debra Mason, executive director of the Religion Newswriters Association and a professor at the Missouri School of Journalism at the University of Missouri wasn't surprised at the decline in coverage of religion in 2011. "In 2010, there were a few particular stories that got a lot of attention and increased the overall coverage of religion," she said.
None of the top religion stories of 2011 had the same impact.
Rick Edmonds is a media business analyst at Poynter Institute, a non-profit school of journalism located in St. Petersburg, Fla. He organized the institute's conference last December called "Politics and Religion: Getting it Right."
One of the topics discussed at the conference, he said, was how for many people in the newsroom, religion is not a great part of their lives. This doesn't mean they don't want to get religion right, but that certain topics are going to be noticed more often than others.
"In past years, the trigger for religion stories has been event driven," Edmonds said, "more often than not a pastor saying something screwy."
And that is what happened to Romney.
Candidates and religion
The Pew Research Center measured the top religion stories of 2011 and found the presidential campaign generated the most coverage. One candidate, Romney, accounted for half of all that religion coverage. And the biggest story on Romney and his faith was when Texas evangelical pastor Robert Jeffress introduced Texas Gov. Rick Perry at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 7. After the event Jeffress called Romney's faith, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a cult.
Jaweed Kaleem, a religion reporter for The Huffington Post, said the coverage of Romney was mostly kept within certain parameters. "The coverage of Mitt Romney's faith hasn't been about what Mormons believe," he said. "It is more about who would not vote for him because he is a Mormon and why."
The reason more reporters don't go more in depth into religious beliefs is because it isn't easy and they are not really writing about religion. "It is always related to more popular topics such as politics, war and terrorism," Kaleem said.
"It is the same-old same-old," Mason said. "We haven't broken out of reporting 'religion as conflict' or 'religion of the day.'"
The interest in Romney's Mormonism continued after the Jeffress flap — but with less impact. His faith was mostly cited as only one possible explanation why he hadn't completely nailed down the Republican nomination.
In contrast, only 5 percent of the religious stories about the campaign focused on President Barack Obama.
And compared to the run-up 2008 presidential election, interest in religion is much lower so far. In 2007 the coverage on religion in the election was 23.8 percent of all religion coverage. In 2011 it was only 13.1 percent.

TERRELL, Texas (AP) - Services will be held for a Dallas firefighter who died after being knocked from an icy overpass by a vehicle while responding to a traffic accident.
Family, friends and other mourners gather Monday in Terrell to remember William Scott Tanksley. Burial will follow at the Restland Cemetery-Garden of Honor in Dallas.
Tanksley was killed Feb. 10. Investigators say the 40-year-old firefighter was struck by a vehicle while on an overpass and fell about 50 feet to his death.
Tanksley had been a Dallas firefighter for 14 years. He was married with three children.

Baltimore City police have arrested two men in connection with the fatal shooting of a man in August.
City police said officers charged Dominic Deschamps, 31, and Che McDowell, 23, with murder. The charges stem from the fatal shooting of Bruce Paige on Aug. 5 in the 500 block of North Monroe Street.
Police said Paige was shot multiple times in the head and torso.
Both men remained held Tuesday at the Baltimore City Detention Center.

Released: Feb 01st, 1999
Running Time: 54
Director: Scott Allen
Company: Playboy Entertainment Group
Distribution Companies: Universal Music & Video Distribution
Cast: Jaime Bergman, Tiffany Taylor, Others
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Alternative
The Playboy Playmate. Forty-five years after Marilyn Monroe was the centerspread of the first, undated issue in 1953, the Playmate is still the gold standard of beautiful women. First among equals in the pantheon are the Anniversary Playmates, starting with the amazingly buxom Candy Loving (25th Anniversary), Penny Baker (30th), Fawna MacLaren (35th), and Anna-Marie Goddard (40th), and now Jaime Bergman, Miss January 1999 and the 45th Anniversary Playmate.
She tells us about herself ("I grew up in Utah... You might say I'm a real-life cowgirl"), we meet her mother (Jaime was apparently a pudgy child, fuming "I told you not to say that" when mom drops that little tidbit), and see home video of her competing in rodeos.
She also poses nude, a lot. At a ranch, modeling chaps (without pants), in a black-and-white sequence that postulates a relationship with a now-you-see-him-now-you-don't man; and in a science-fiction scenario and a western one.
The last 15 minutes are taken up with a profile of Miss December 1998, Tiffany Taylor, a criminology major at the University of Maryland who apparently was absent the day they covered Do Not Masturbate While You Are On Stakeout.
Playboy enthusiasts and anybody who wants to see pretty girls nude -- which is most of your adult clientele -- will want this one.

Fresno State clinches first national championship
June, 25, 2008
By Tim Griffin
Fresno State 6, Georgia 1 (final)
OMAHA, Neb. -- Fresno State made history Wednesday night, wrapping up the national championship with a 6-1 victory over Georgia.
The Bulldogs, the first regional 4-seed to ever win a national championship, happily dogpiled on the field at Rosenblatt Stadium after Matt Olson flied out for the final out of the game.
The victory enabled Fresno State to wrap up its second national team championship in school history. Fresno State's other title came when the 1998 softball team won national championship.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Publishing | The 18th volume of Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan sold 969,743 copies in its first week of release in Japan, claiming the top spot on the weekly manga sales chart. According to market research firm Oricon, thats an increase of nearly 200,000 copies from the debut of Vol. 17 in August. Attack on Titan has sold about 8.8 million copies this year, a drop of almost 50 percent from 2013. [Crunchyroll]
Passings | Cartoonist and editor Jacques Hurtubise, who went by the pen name Zyx, has died at age 65. Hurtubise attended college in Montreal during a time of separatist turmoil, and in 1971 recceived a government grant to publish L'Hydrocéphale illustré, an anthology of work by emerging Quebecois cartoonists. The magazine folded a year later, but Hurtubise continued to be an active promoter of local comics in various forms, and in 1979, he teamed up with two other editors to start the children's humor magazine Croc, which carried a large selection of comics. The magazine, which ran until 1995, provided paying work to many eminent Canadian cartoonists in their early years. After Croc folded, Hurtubise left the comics industry for a career in technology, but he was inducted in 2007 into the Shuster Awards Hall of Fame. [Sequential]
Superheroes | Dave Itzkoff looks at the growing interest in female superheroes in comics as well as in TV and movies. The article includes interviews with writers Gail Simone and G. Willow Wilson, and Wilson speaks poignantly about Ms. Marvel: "If you wanted to work in the business, you kept your head down – you did not want to be seen as having an agenda. I would never have pitched that, because I frankly would have worried that it would have prevented me from getting other work." [The New York Times]
Publishing | DC Comics' Vertigo imprint is the first comics company to use the Wattpad "social reading app," where writers and publishers can share their work with potential readers around the world. Survivors' Club writers Lauren Beukes and Dale Halvorsen are starting things off with a list of their favorite horror movies, and Gail Simone and Holly Black are expected to check in as well. [TechCrunch]
Conventions | Journalist Tom Spurgeon and Bone creator Jeff Smith, co-organizers of Cartoon Crossroads Columbus, discuss their concept for a truly comics-focused festival. "We're almost at the point where we're treating comics as a weigh station before you make your money or impact," Spurgeon says. "Comics are solely what we do and it's solely where our efforts go. We want this to be important. We want to celebrate older cartoonists who may have fallen out favor. We want to celebrate the anniversaries of great comics. It's solely comics-focused." [Paste]
Comics | In advance of a radio show titled "White Men in Capes," to be broadcast Tuesday, BBC News looks at diversity in comics and finds it lacking; as DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan DiDio says, there "doesn't seem to really be a proper representation of ethnic characters across the entire industry." He talks about DC's efforts to bring diversity to its line, and he explains why: "There's a very hungry audience, excited audience and the reason why we know that exists is because we go to the conventions and we hear from our stores and you hear the make-up of the people shopping in those stores." [BBC News]
Retailing | The driver killed early Sunday when her car crashed into the Mile High Comics store in Denver, Colorado, has been identified as 17-year-old Karen Lopez. There were no passengers in the car, and no one was in the store at the time. Mile High Comics will hold an auction to benefit Lopez's family; in an earlier news report, owner Chuck Rozanski described what happened and said, "When someone suffers a violent death like this within your space, I mean this is my building, I love this building and I love being here every day and now to know someone died here it's going to alter my perception forever." [KDVR]
Artist Ken Lashley leaped into the spotlight this week with his collaboration with writer Gail Simone on DC Comics' latest incarnation of Secret Six. No stranger to the publisher, he's provided covers for such titles as Suicide Squad and Superboy, and drawn interiors for Superman: Doomed. A quick glance of CBR's previews archives reveals the variety of work he's done for other publishers in recent years, including a couple of AXIS Revolutions covers for Marvel.
To get an idea of the variety of characters Lashley draws, as well as some of his commissions, one needs only to look at his Instagram profile (where he posts under the username Ledkilla). In addition to the range of talent he shares with his fans, he clearly relishes shooting some of his samples at interesting angles, adding a layer of kineticism.
There's a lot to like in DC Comics' December solicitations, most of it due to the return of some old friends and the uber-nostalgic glimpses at a traditional status quo. It's not like the New 52's changes are being rolled back — I have no illusions about that, and I'm not sure how it would work if it did happen — but DC is always best served when it can channel the familiar aspects of its past in vibrant new forms.
I am starting to think Secret Six is the comic Gail Simone was born to write, even more so than Birds of Prey. There's always been a dark undercurrent running through her DC work, from BOP to Batgirl to The Movement, but only with the Sixers could she really cut loose. Indeed, as much as I enjoyed Scandal, Bane, Deadshot and the rest, I'm eager to see what she can do with six cryptically united strangers, most of whom will probably be new to us.
Those who believe the traditional, pre-New 52 DC Universe is still out there, somewhere in the Multiverse, can reasonably hang their collective hat on the return of the Keith Giffen/J.M. DeMatteis Blue Beetle and Booster Gold in Justice League 3000 #12. I'd go even further, and say this version of Beetle and Booster probably follows directly from the two "Super Buddies" arcs that Giffen, DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire produced in the mid-2000s. The second one, I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League, ended rather pointedly with Beetle and Max Lord sharing a happy moment. That, of course, stood in stark contrast to the Countdown to Infinite Crisis special, in which Max shot Beetle in the head, and then (a few months later) successfully dared Wonder Woman to execute him. Therefore, the Beetle and Booster of JL3K hail from an Earth where things turned out quite differently — but ironically, they've been awakened in a dystopian future where the Justice Leaguers are darkly twisted versions of their old selves. Not that Giffen and DeMatteis can't find some comedy there, but I'm having trouble summoning up a bwah-hah-hah.
This month marks the third anniversary of of the New 52, and, as was the case with each September since the 2011 relaunch of DC Comics' superhero titles, that means the entire line is being unified under an umbrella theme … or gimmick, depending on how charitable you are.
In 2012, it was "Zero Month," with each book telling a story set in the hero's first year of rebooted continuity. Last year, it was "Villains Month," featuring fancy 3D covers, decimal-point issue numbers and stories starring DC's antagonists. This year, its a little from column A, and a little from column B: There are more of those fancy covers, but all of the stories are set five years into the future.
As I did last week, I've grabbed a handful of new Futures End one-shots, more or less at random, for review. This week DC released 10 Futures End one-shots, of which I have five sitting in a little stack next to me as I type. Last time, I tried ordering the reviews from worst to best, but I had trouble doing so this week, as there wasn't really a stand-out like Grayson. Rather, these five seemed to cluster around a baseline of mediocrity, with a few being slightly better, others slightly worse.

In some ways, this is the best of times and the worst of times for those who are interested in bringing comics to a broader audience. As the hubbub died down over Milo Manara's Spider-Woman cover, another story went viral, about a comic shop where an employee allegedly made a crude joke about a "rape room" and then fired a trainee who complained about it. While debate continues to rage over what exactly happened there (the store owner denies it), Bloomberg did a big story on how the number of women comics readers is growing and becoming an ever more important sector of the industry.
With this in mind, I want to call out three things that happened this week.
The first is Gene Luen Yang's speech at the National Book Festival. First of all, it's impressive that a comics creator is given such a prominent platform at an event that isn't actually focused on comics. What Yang had to say was even more impressive. He spoke about the African-American creator Dwayne McDuffie, whose love of comics first caught fire when he encountered the Black Panther, a black character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The Black Panther wasn't perfect, but, Yang said,
All of these flaws were lost on Dwayne McDuffie when he first encountered the Black Panther in 1973, at the age of 11. What struck him was the character's commanding sense of dignity. The Black Panther wasn't anyone's sidekick. He wasn't an angry thug. He wasn't a victim. He was his own hero, his own man. As Dwayne describes it, "In the space of 15 pages, black people moved from invisible to inevitable."

The Movement was cancelled and she's almost done with Batgirl, but fans of Gail Simone's DC work can now look forward to the return of Secret Six. Launched in 2005 as a big-event tie-in, the fan-favorite series ended in the summer of 2011 and had yet to reappear in a New 52 context.
Last week saw the return of Sensation Comics to store racks, as DC Comics repurposed the long-defunct title for a new Wonder Woman anthology series, featuring stories by rotating creative teams that debut online as part of the publisher's digital-first initiative. It's a strategy the company previously used for similar anthologies Legends of the Dark Knight and the soon-ending Adventures of Superman.
It's a great idea, and one well past due. Unlike Batman and the Man of Steel, Wonder Woman has long been confined to a single solo title, with fewer miniseries, specials and one-shots, and is more often subject to drastic new directions, due to a perceived notion the character needs to be "fixed."
The current Wonder Woman series is a good example of this, with Brian Azzarello, Cliff Chiang and company reintroducing the character with an "Everything you thought you knew was wrong!" origin, accompanied by a weird and dark backstory for the Amazons, and a London setting for the heroine.
Last time I checked in with Wonder Woman, the title character was the demigod daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta and had become the goddess of war, dispatching her foes with magic swords — and when she's really in a pinch, she takes off her power-dampening Amazon bracelets, which allows her to "power-up" into a sort of glowing Super-Wonder Woman.
Comics | Writing for The Advocate, Jase Peeples takes note of the diversity of DC Comics' extended Batman family — from Batwoman to Batwing to Barbara Gordon's roommate Alysia Yeoh — and talks with writers Gail Simone, Grant Morrison, Marc Andreyko, Tom Taylor and Chip Kidd. "I would like to think that people can pick up books like Batman Incorporated or The Multiversity and see their own lives reflected," Morrison says. "But I'd always caveat that with the need for us to see more diverse writers and artists, because that's when I think the walls will really come down. As a straight [white guy from Scotland] I can only do so much, and I find even sometimes when you do this, you do get accused of tokenism or pandering. I don't mind it. I can put up with that, but I'd rather see a genuine spread of writers and artists creating this material." [Advocate.com]

Gail Simone brought to a close her tenure as Batgirl writer and helped kick off the digital-first Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman series this week. Both issues were well within her comfort zone, featuring large casts of characters locked in spirited combat a la Wonder Woman #600 and Secret Six #36. Both had callbacks to previous Simone successes, one of which pleased this longtime fan immeasurably. (No spoilers, but let's just say she's a Bird of Prey I didn't think I'd see in the New 52.) Perhaps most importantly, both showed their headliners fully in control of their respective situations. For Batgirl that came at the end of a long, somewhat depressing series of subplots, and in Sensation it was a well-executed rebuttal to anyone who thinks Wonder Woman can't be as hardcore as her gothic-avenger colleague.

Creators | Sonny Liew, creator of Malinky Robot and the artist of The Shadow Hero (written by Gene Luen Yang) was born in Malaysia, went to school in Singapore, then went to college in the United Kingdom and art school in the United States on his way to becoming a comics creator. There wasn't much of a homegrown comics scene when Liew was growing up, so he read mostly imports, but that's changing, and his newest project is an anthology featuring creators from the region. [The Malay Mail]
Writer Gail Simone launched a new blog, Comics Survival Kit, that promises to be a source of useful, practical information for creators.
"Like all comics pros, I am asked all the time for advice on how to become a pro, and how to maintain that position once you have attained it," she writes in the introductory post. "It is a huge question, even if we knew the answers, it would be a lot to process!" So she is presenting information in small, tightly focused posts and drawing on her many friends in the industry, including Kelly Sue DeConnick, Greg Pak, and Jim Zubkavich, for their advice as well.
Simone is a pretty good resource herself; she has written more than 400 comics, and her credits include Birds of Prey, Secret Six and Red Sonja. What sets this Tumblr apart from other creators' is its exclusive focus on information and advice; what sets it apart from other creator-information sites is the high profile of the owner and the contributors.
The Tumblr already has a collection of interesting posts, including Red Sonja editor Molly Mahan on what editors want to see in an artist's portfolio, Third Eye Comics owner Steve Anderson on communicating with retailers and Paul Allor (Orc Girl) on the perils of self-publishing.

The Trumbull County grand jury has handed up a second major rape case this week, indicting Michael A. Hanick, 58, of Clearfield Avenue in Weathersfield Township on 11 counts of rape, including seven that carry a potential life prison sentence.
Hanick was arraigned this morning in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court, where he pleaded not guilty and Judge W. Wyatt McKay set bond at $1 million.
Hanick's indictment accuses him of raping two girls — one of them only six years of age when four of the rapes are alleged to have occurred.
It also accuses him of raping a second girl three times in 2014 when she was 11 years old.
He is charged with four other rape counts from May and June 2013. The age and sex of the purported victim or victims from those allegations was not given. Those charges each carry a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
The Weathersfield police investigated after Trumbull County Children Services reported that one of the purported victims told the agency personnel about them.
The same grand jury indicted Richard A. Benchea, 61, of Belvedere Avenue Southeast Thursday on 12 counts of rape involving a girl under the age of 16.
These pedophiles need to be exterminated immediately. They were probably hoping to have their cases assigned to Judge Rice. He just gave the one guy from Niles a 5yr probation sentence for gross sexual imposition on a 9yr old. Evidently he was drunk and didn't know any better.....

Merrimack College and YMCA partner for healthy kids
Kyle McInnis, Sc.D., health sciences chair at Merrimack College and the creator of Active Science, has been awarded a $500,000 grant by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, in partnership with the Merrimack Valley YMCA. The innovative "exerlearning" approach combines exercise with exploratory learning activities to address a national health priority of reducing child obesity. The approach provides the dual benefit of increasing levels of physical activity and supporting academic development in areas such as science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
In Active Science, children wear activity trackers that send exercise data to mobile devices and display colorful graphs and figures on handheld tablets. Brief interactive academic lessons are provided using the physical activity data the children generate through a fun app developed by McInnis and the Active Science team.
"The key," McInnis said, "is that kids exercise to have fun and not necessarily to get fit. Similarly, they learn by doing things, and Active Science integrates exercise, learning and technologies that kids enjoy." He called the approach "stealth learning."
"There is tremendous need in our society for innovative approaches addressing these important youth development and educational priorities. The YMCA reaches 9 million children in the U.S. and we are excited about partnering with Merrimack College to make this evidence-based program available to others throughout the YMCA network," said Stephen Ives, M.B.A., chief operation officer of the Merrimack Valley YMCA.
Active Science has been operating through the Lawrence branch of the Merrimack Valley YMCA. Moving forward, the Y will establish a National Active Science Center as a part of a $21 million expansion of its Andover/North Andover facility that broke ground March 28.
At the center McInnis and his team will conduct research, develop curricula, train staff, and manage data for YMCA sites running the program in other U.S. cities. Students in the college's Department of Health Sciences will gain hands-on experience with community-based programming as well as groundbreaking research.
The grant will support the establishment of 10 sites located in YMCAs across the country. Researchers from Merrimack will collect data from these sites to expand the evidence for measureable impact on STEM knowledge and physical activity. In addition, an entrepreneurial approach will be used to pilot scaling and sustaining the program within the YMCA network.
"Dr. McInnis' cutting-edge work is a shining example of Merrimack's commitment to leadership in creative research that empowers lives," said Christopher E. Hopey, Ph.D., president of Merrimack. "Our investment in our state-of-the-art Health Sciences Center will continue to support collaborations such as this that embody the college's core values of leadership, community, awareness, scholarship and service."

Dr. McInnis's Clinical Research Design course is a unique course that integrates student- lead research projects into a camp setting in partnership with the Merrimack Valley YMCA.
The prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently awarded Health Sciences Associate Dean Kyle McInnis a $1 million grant to expand the innovative Active Science program to help increase physical activity and science achievement among school-age children. The grant awarded to McInnis and his team in partnership with the Merrimack Valley YMCA will support scaling the program to over 100 locations around the country during the next 24-months. It is expected that over 50,000 children will enroll in the program during that time period.

Baz Luhrmann's no Quentin Tarantino with a film soundtrack, but he's not half bad. From the moaning bittersweet yelp of Garbage's '#1 Crush' to the Hawaiian stoner rock of Everclear's 'Local God' and Radiohead's bone-chilling 'Talk Show Host' to bloody Des'ree, 'Romeo + Juliet' had a near-perfect run-down. 'Moulin Rouge!' had the 'Elephant Love Medley' which saw Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor singing 12 songs in one (surprisingly well), David Bowie and 'Lady Marmalade'; 'Strictly Ballroom' was evocative (Doris Day, 'Time After Time', 'Love Is In The Air'); and no one's seen 'Australia' anyway.
We've got the soundtrack to Lurhmann's latest film, 'The Great Gatsby', which premiered last night. You can stream it here. Is it a return to form from Luzza? Here's what we're dealing with.
"My life, my life has got to be like this, it's got to keep going up," intones Jay Gatsby, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, introducing the theme of excess and the American dream immediately. Samples of a children's choir lay over Jay-Z's paean to riches. The audio "I had my own little business on the side, a sort of sideline... a rather confidential sort of thing...but you might make a nice bit of money" introduces a sliver of mystery. How does Gatsby pay for his lavish parties?
A jabbing, moody synth and electro bleeps brings Amy Winehouse's classic crawling into 2013. It's a dark and oil-slicked version complemented by Beyoncé's honey-voiced chorus though I can't help think of the old adage: don't mess with perfection.
Jazz! Will.i.am brings his hashtag-hiNRG-EDM-kerching-electropop plague to a Charleston sample. Sounds awful? It's annoyingly catchy. 'Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang' he wangs and you can't help but nod your head. I attribute this more to the magic of the Charleston.
Like a party buffet, 'A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)' is a mixed bag. Whatever you think about Fergie, she's got solid pipes. Q-Tip's rapping is always a pleasure. You can't argue with a Duke Ellington sample. However it's drowning in that Guetta-gloop: dialled-in beats, euro-house high-hats and the inevitable dubstep breakdown. The mushroom vol-au-vent of the party.
Del Rey was made to soundtrack this film. The "gangsta Nancy Sinatra Lolita in the hood etc" contributes a sweeping ballad. "Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?" she wonders sounding more and more like Blanche Dubois with a blinding voice every day.
Ferry and his orchestra cover his own 'Love Is the Drug', a 1975 single from Roxy Music's fifth studio album 'Siren'. It's a feast of honky-tonk, bass sax, sleazy strings and oohs.
Proceedings remain histrionic and intense with Florence's ballad 'Over The Love'. With keys like galloping horses, one imagines this might soundtrack the moment (HUGE SPOILER ALERT) Wilson shoots Gatsby.
One of the only relative unknowns on the album, Coco O is a Danish singer in the electronic soul duo Quadron. It blends jazzy keys with drum 'n bass beats and a sultry, refreshing chorus.
Oh dear. When nuclear fallout arrives, who'll soundtrack the remaining cockroaches, roaming the earth, lonely and hungry? The ubituitous Sandé of course (and Adele no doubt). It sounds like a cover by your dad's wedding band.
Those dark East London quasi-goths fit perfectly into the theme of hysteria. 'Together' will surely soundtrack Daisy having a moment on a chaise longue, confused by her feelings for Gatsby, reaching for the smelling salts. It remains lo-fi and classic xx before an extremely cheesy string breakdown. Emo squared.
'Hearts A Mess' has the same clunking, treated backbone as 'Somebody That You Used To Know'. Strings, again, plenty of strings, martial beats and Wouter "Wally" De Backer's vocals creates something instantly forgettable.
Apart from sounding as if White's been taking singing lessons from Starsailor's James Walsh, this tune ticks all the Gatsby boxes: big, overwrought and highly strung. It took me about two minutes before I ODd on the piercing yelps, drum beats like cliffs falling into the ocean and a gut-poking bass line.
More dubstep from London trio Nero. Slow, oceanic, atmospheric. To soundtrack the (ANOTHER HUGE SPOILER ALERT) funeral perhaps?
Yes, it sounds more like a James Bond theme tune (ululating melodies, sweet harmonies and unexpected key changes) but the Australian singer - often unfairly seen as a rent-a-vocal - ends the soundtrack with a bang.

DREAM Act Introduction Shows Political Muscle for Immigration Reform
Released on Thu, Mar 26, 2009
With yesterday's bipartisan introduction of the DREAM Act, the House and Senate delivered yet another signal that the political tide for immigration reform is getting stronger. The bill seeks to remedy the predicament of a specific group of undocumented children who are blocked from realizing their full potential. By providing a path to U.S. citizenship, the DREAM Act would allow these children to pursue a higher education and contribute fully to our economy.

We accept the love we think we deserve
Who am I? Well I am the type of woman that is hardworking, but will always put my family, friends, and loved ones first. My job is important and I'm good at it, but it's not everything. My family and friends will always come first. I like to try most new things. I think oysters, sky diving, and swimming with sharks might be out. I am the type of girl that loves to get dressed up with make up and heels, but can also slum it at the camp site in my sweats. I love to cook and when I actually have someone to cook for I will do it daily. I'd say I'm mostly a Bruins fan, but I will watch other sports. I'm not going to lie, during a Super Bowl party you'd find me in the kitchen making the snacks and serving the beers. I love to travel, and would love to do more of it. I'm a pretty confident person and want to be accepted the way I come. That doesn't mean I don't try to improve in any ways. I'm not hardcore, but I make efforts to eat right and workout to stay fit. I'm not a neat freak, but I make it a point to stay somewhat organized and pick up after myself. I've very generally said that I am looking for my best friend on here. It is true I am, but I've realized maybe I should be more specific about what a best friend is to me. I need someone that will laugh at me just as much as I laugh at them. A person that will that will talk with me at dinner and not stare at their cell phone. Someone that likes being active, but can also enjoy a cuddle on the couch while watching a movie. Yes, I said cuddle. Someone who can make me laugh is a definite. Trust me it doesn't take much, so if I am not laughing on a first date then you're pretty much out. I believe that the person you're with should accept you for who you are and not try to "change" you. It never works and it makes you resent the other person. Therefore, if I feel there is something about you that I'd prefer otherwise I will cut my loses early instead of stick with it hoping that part of you changes. I think appearance and looks matters, but I can't say I have a specific type. I've dated guys of all shapes and sizes. I think I'm a sucker for a nice smile. The type of smile that makes me not mad anymore when you've done something wrong. If you think that we might be a good match then send me an email, not a wink. You're better off starting with conversation. I'm also not interested in hook ups. Thanks for reading:).
Aerobics, Dancing, Hockey, Other types of exercise, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

moreBy introducing the basics of architectural science, this book is an ideal reference that provides an understanding of the physical basis of architectural design. The knowledge gained from this book equips the reader with the tools for realizing the full potential of the good intentions of sustainable, bioclimatic design.
The text gives the reader the knowledge to design in order to control indoor environmental conditions: heat, light and sound. Into this discussion is introduced the problem that traditional energy resources are finite, and their use damaging, and governments and professional bodies demand increasing levels of sustainable design.

Service was great, check in was without complications of any kind at all. The room was very clean and serviced with towels and the kitchenette had almost everything in it that you would need, coffee, tea, sugar and other sweeteners I did however request more sugar and creamer for my coffee. Location was fine, shopping centres in short distence from the hotel. The kitchenette was a dream come true ,with all the utensils to make a family meal, and we did. There was one off moment, we ran into another Bahamian family with noisy children, but they went to bed quit early, thank GOD for his mercy and grace.

text: drought Early Rainfall Helps End Drought Conditions In Illinois By WNIJ • Feb 18, 2013 U.S. Drought Monitor Illinois has seen less snow than usual this winter. But the state is still on pace to have more precipitation than in 2012. The U.S. Drought Monitor says only a third of Illinois is still in drought or "abnormally dry" conditions -- down from 100 percent last fall. Several northern Illinois counties added to drought list By Mike Moen & Rachel Otwell • Aug 16, 2012 All counties in Illinois have now been designated as "primary disaster areas" due to drought. That's after the U.S. Department of Agriculture added counties in northern Illinois to the list. Expert says Illinois' drought won't end anytime soon By Mike Moen & Brian Mackey • Jul 30, 2012 Illinois is seeing slightly cooler temperatures following last week's hundred-degree days. But state climatologist Jim Angel says it appears the end of the drought is a long way off. Quinn asks for more federal help for drought-stricken counties By Mike Moen & Associated Press • Jul 23, 2012 WNIJ Governor Pat Quinn has asked for federal disaster designations for virtually all Illinois counties. His request comes amid one of the state's worst droughts on record. Boom planting turning into bust crops in Illinois By WNIJ • Jul 17, 2012 Illinois Farm Bureau Quinn tours drought-stricken Southern Illinois farm With the warm spring, farmers were able to plant early and corn and soy seeds went in at a remarkable pace. "We were set out to raise what we thought was probably the largest corn crop in the history of American agriculture," Said Illinois Farm Bureau President Phillip Nelson. Instead, months of drought are killing those expectations ... and the corn. Nelson says some farmers will end up with no crop, or only half of one. Quinn lays out drought-relief plan for farmers By IPR • Jul 17, 2012 NOAA More than two dozen Illinois counties have received disaster designations because of the ongoing drought. And the state's stepping in to help deal with the loss of crops. Governor Pat Quinn toured a farm in Jefferson County in Southern Illinois on Monday. It' been hit hard by a lack of rain. "They've never seen anything like this. We were trying to find an ear of corn. We finally found one. It was about four inches long and it looked like something you'd put in a salad." - Governor Pat Quinn Drought worsens in Illinois, Wisconsin -- but there's a bright spot By WNIJ • Jul 13, 2012 The drought in southern Wisconsin has been officially declared severe, and all of Illinois is now officially in a drought … but there is one crop that seems to be doing fine despite the hot weather. Officials at the National Drought Mitigation Center in Nebraska say Cook County is fully in a moderate drought for the first time this year. ... But that isn't the worst of it. Far southern Illinois is designated as being in an exceptional drought, which is the most serious classification. How dry we are! Red Flag Warnings explained By Susan Stephens • May 29, 2012 Media Services / Northern Illinois University A large portion of northern Illinois was under a "red flag warning" Tuesday. But what does that mean? On Tuesday afternoon, WNIJ's Susan Stephens called Northern Illinois University meteorologist Gilbert Sebenste to get an explanation. Dust storms and withered leaves: Illinois' mini-drought By Susan Stephens • May 28, 2012 Susan Stephens / WNIJ Dust storms and fire danger alerts are not what you expect to hear in May in Illinois. But these are signs of a very dry spring.

And, while you're at it, please be sure to place your order for an ad or greeting in the commemorative journal that each guest will receive at the dinner. This year, we are pleased to honor lifelong activist Walter Riley as our Champion of Justice.

Walter grew up in segregated Durham, North Carolina, the ninth of 11 children. While in high school, he joined the NAACP statewide campaigns for jobs, voting rights and desegregation, including lunch counters. Later, he became a Field Secretary for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) for the Southeast Region and worked with Rev. Cox of Cox vs. Louisiana fame.
In 1965, Walter came to California and attended SF State, where he was a student activist and participated in the San Francisco State Student movement with the Black Student Union and SDS. As an anti-Vietnam War activist, Walter worked with the Black Anti-Draft Union, helping people resist the draft. When he was employed at UCSF, Walter became a founding member of the University of California Black Caucus. In the late '60's, Walter drove a Muni bus, was a founding member of the Muni Black Caucus, was co-chair of Malcolm X's Organization of Afro-American Unity in San Francisco, a member of Black House, and Campaign Chair for Kathleen Cleaver's primary campaign for California State Assembly. He also was an active participant in the founding convention of the Peace and Freedom Party in San Francisco and co-chaired the PFP's Black Caucus. Walter and his family moved to Chicago in 1970, where he worked at the International Harvester auto plant and later organized around welfare and housing issues. In the middle '70's, he was part of rank- and-file trade union organizing in Detroit's auto industry.
Finally, Walter returned to the Bay Area to realize his long-held dream of becoming a lawyer. During his student years at Golden Gate University, he joined the NLG and was vice-president of the Student Bar Association. While in law school, he received welfare as a single parent to two boys. After graduation, he worked as a San Joaquin County Public Defender, and later for the California Department of Industrial Relations. While serving as a part-time state employee, Walter established a practice in downtown Oakland, handling criminal defense, employment discrimination and police misconduct cases.
In recent years Walter's political work has ranged from anti-apartheid actions, to local educational and health issues, to organizing anti-war demonstrations, to participation in labor struggles, to electoral politics, to street demonstrations against police brutality, to Occupy Oakland, and beyond. He was a leader in the struggles against ballot Propositions 209 (ending affirmative action) and 187 (anti-immigrant measures). He is a founding member of the John George Democratic Club. He was one of four co-chair organizers of the April 23rd Coalition against the War in Iraq. He helped found, and still serves on the board of, the Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI), the Oakland Public Conservatory of Music, the Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute, and the NLGSF. Walter helped found, and is currently the Chair, of the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund (HERF), recipient of this year's Partners in Liberation award, on whose behalf he has traveled to Haiti several times.
Please join us at the April 27th banquet, where you will learn more about Walter's remarkable career, and about the work of the National Lawyers Guild. Help us continue to foster Walter's work for social justice and to "Build the Guild" - a unique national organization of progressive attorneys and law students. Please order your ad or greeting now.

Unsung Hero Award Carey Lamprecht began volunteering with the Guild shortly after September 11, 2001, staffiing the Post-9/11 hotline and connecting Bay Area communities experiencing repression with Know Your Rights information. She became increasingly involved with the Demonstrations Committee after 2003 when the Bay Area rose to the forefront of international movements against war, globalization and occupation. Carey has conducted countless trainings for activists, community members, legal workers and attorneys, staffed and supervised hotlines, connected arrestees with attorneys, spent numerous hours doing court support, and gathering evidence as a NLG Legal Observer. As a certified paralegal, she has worked with Guild attorneys on NLG civil rights litigation and criminal defense cases. She is a paralegal at the S.F. civil law firm, Breall & Breall, LLP.
Partners in Liberation Award The San Francisco Bay Area NLG Chapter is pleased to honor this year's recipient of the Partners in Liberation Award: the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund (HERF). Since its inception in 2004, HERF has given concrete aid to Haiti's grassroots movement as it resisted the brutal coup that overthrew the democratically elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. HERF supports individuals and groups who campaign against repression; who fight for democratic rights and human rights in Haiti. HERF has collected funds for the mass distribution of tarps, food, and water to communities displaced by the earthquake and supports many local organizations struggling for better health care, improved education, the rights of women, and for human rights.

Amazon.com Review
This irresistible book, the best-written celebrity memoir of 1999, concentrates on Fry's first two tumultuous decades, but beware! A Fry sentence can lead anywhere, from a ringing defense of beating schoolchildren to a thoughtful comparison of male and female naughty parts. Fry's deepest regrets seem to be the elusiveness of a particular boy's love and the fact that, despite his keen ear for music, Fry's singing voice can make listeners "claw out their inner ears, electrocute their genitals, put on a Jim Reeves record, throw themselves cackling hysterically onto the path of moving buses... anything, anything to take away the pain." A chance mention of Fry's time-travel book about thwarting Hitler, Making History (a finalist for the 1998 Sidewise Award for Best Alternative History), leads to the startling real-life revelation that Fry's own Jewish uncle may have loaned a young, shivering Hitler the coat off his back.
Fry's life is full of school and jailhouse blues overcome by jaunty wit, à la Wilde. The title, from Psalm 108:9, refers to King David's triumph over the Philistines. Fry triumphs similarly, and with more style. --Tim Appelo

|Up to 32 knots (59 km/h), submerged
|Only limited by food and maintenance requirements.
|Electronic warfare
& decoys:
HMS Torbay is a Trafalgar-class nuclear submarine of the Royal Navy and the fourth vessel of her class. Torbay is the fifth vessel and the second submarine of the Royal Navy to be named after Torbay in Devon, England. The first vessel was the 80-gun second rate HMS Torbay launched in 1693.
Torbay was the first vessel to be fitted with the new command system SMCS-NG and therefore the first British warship to be controlled using the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Torbay was scheduled to be decommissioned in 2015 and will be replaced by one of the new Astute class submarines.[3] As of November 2013[update] she is still undergoing extended maintenance and upgrades, which were originally scheduled to complete in Summer 2013. The work may allow a life extension beyond the current decommissioning date.
Operational history[edit]
Torbay completed a refuel and modernisation process in February 2001.[citation needed]
In early 2006, Torbay was the participant in an experiment in the use of colour schemes to reduce the visibility of submarines from the air. The standard black paint of Royal Navy submarines was replaced by a carefully selected shade of blue. This was the result of research that found that black was the worst possible colour for a submarine attempting to avoid detection from the air. This change is in part the result of the changing nature of Royal Navy commitments since the end of the Cold War, with Navy operations moving from the murky waters of the North Atlantic to the clearer waters of the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean.[4]
In November 2010, it was reported in Hansard that Torbay had run aground in the Eastern Mediterranean in April 2009.[5]
In May 2011, she took part in Exercise Saxon Warrior in the Western Approaches. The exercise included the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush, HMS Dauntless, HMS Westminster and a number of other vessels and culminated in a 'Thursday War'.[6]
In late 2011 she entered a Revalidation and Assisted Maintenance Period (RAMP) at Devonport Royal Dockyard. This includes communications upgrades with installation of the Cromwell radio antenna to enhance internal communications and the ship alongside upgrade, plus inspection of the hull and reactor, an overhaul of one of the reactor coolers and upgrades to many other systems. As of September 2012[update] the RAMP was 85% complete, with a return to service originally planned for summer 2013.[7]
In 2013, there was a fire on board.[8]
In fiction[edit]
HMS Torbay is featured in Tom Clancy's novel Red Storm Rising, which saw the submarine engage and sink a Soviet Alfa-class submarine with Spearfish torpedoes.[citation needed]

Though probably not out of the goodness of its heart.
Two days ago, federal investigators found a leak in a 125-year-old gas main adjacent to one of the two East Harlem buildings that exploded last week, killing eight, injuring 58, and displacing dozens more. While the official cause for the blast has yet to be determined, Con Ed, which operates the natural-gas pipeline near the site, is already doing what it can to protect itself to minimize the number of lawsuits heading its way: The Wall Street Journal reports that the energy company has already made 87 payments to people who were hurt or lost their homes in the explosion.
Con Ed spokesman Robert McGee "declined to provide the total amount the company has paid or the average amount paid for each victim. The company made the payments after 'one-on-one' meetings with victims, he said." Speaking about the early payments, Douglas H. Wigdor, a lawyer who has litigated against Con Ed, said, "It's certainly not standard practice, especially at this stage of the game." According to Wigdor, cash that victims accept now "would likely be taken into account" should they sue Con Ed for damages later on.

Andy Kaufman is alive!
Oh, give us a break!
There's a lot of chatter suggesting that controversial Saturday Night Live comic and Taxi star Andy Kaufman, who died of cancer in 1984 at 35, faked his death and is living incognito.
Things broke weird this week when Andy's brother Michael announced at the annual Andy Kaufman Awards in New York that he found an essay among Andy's things detailing how he'd fake his death and run away with the love of his life.
According to the Huffington Post, Michael claims he got a letter from his brother in 1999 in which the comic admitted he ran away so he could live with his new wife - and their daughter - in obscurity. The girl, Michael added for color, is 24 now.

I neglected to mention in my last post: I won't be doing the MSDN Events for awhile.
And no, I didn't get in trouble. Um…right, Paul?
Don't worry: we're not canceling the events! I'm just coming off the road for a bit. My teammates will be filling in for me to deliver the events in my area. And these guys are just as capable (and weird…ahem…different) as I am, if not more so (especially that Rory character).
You see, it all started when MikeO mentioned a new software project developing an internal tool to be used by the entire Microsoft Across America team, of which MSDN is a part of. The managers had decided to leverage the skills of the MSDN team, and wanted to know if any of us would be interested in leading a project like this.
Are you kidding me?
Naturally, I jumped on this opportunity like Elvis on a peanut butter & banana sandwich (there, Bernard, I mentioned Elvis on my blog, are you finally happy?).
So for the next few months I'll be designing, coding, cursing my computer, drinking Red Bulls, and so forth just like normal. I just won't be doing these things at any live events until the project is delivered.
BTW, be sure to ask my teammates "Where's Ron?" at every event at least once, so they get so sick of answering this question that they hack into this blog and destroy this post.
