Oh, you want to go with the flow don't you?? When is this girl gonna stop being shoved down people's throughts??? Srsly!!!!October 15, 2010 at 6:37AM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply
DinaKristen Stewart has been talked about in award capacity for this and The Runaways since Sundance. Maybe Gregory was behind. If you don't like Kristen Stewart then stop clicking on stories about her "Jason". There are 19 other actresses mentioned.October 15, 2010 at 3:59PM EST
leeShe really kicked as# as Joan Jett... not too many actresses could have pulled that off... she was fantastic. From the clips I've seen of WTTR, she gives an amazing, raw performance, so what's your problem... you still hung up on her in Twilight... and also, sorry but I can't handle "throughts" ...... it's "throats"... and no one is shoving her down your throat; you keep clicking on every article, picture, whatever about her now don't you...October 28, 2010 at 7:10PM EST
Jess (guest)Gosh. I've had enough of this KStew promotion.October 15, 2010 at 8:50AM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply
tamI too. Kristen Stewart isn't a good actress and I'm shocked that she was placed in this article. In every movie she's showing exact the same character with exact the same bland face. She's gripping her hair or biting her lips more often than using her facial expression.
The Runaways and Into the Wild are the only movies which are watchable. And no, nobody ever talked about Kristen getting any awards beside gossip sites and MTV. I'm not saying that it won't happen because her movie is still going to be released but till now we haven't heard anything.
And like someone perfectly said: Melissa Leo would be more deserving to get a nomination because she can act. In this movie she's just better than Kstew.October 15, 2010 at 7:04PM EST
velocityknownDefinitely no for Rooney Mara, two scenes in The Social Network that could have been played by anyone else. Only reason she stood out in my opinion is because I knew she was the new "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."
Helena Bonham Carter
Dianne Wiest
Barbara Hershey
Hailee Steinfield
The 5th spot is a toss up that I think will kind of depend on what kind of box office draw certain films have received and how much the Academy likes certain people. Though I would like to see Chole Moretz there.October 15, 2010 at 9:44AM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply
Melissa Stamford (guest)Haven't seen the movie, but it looks good!
Now Twilight BD can say they have two Oscar winners if she does win. Director Bill Condon is the other.
Hope she doesn't get hit with the Oscar Curse like Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, and a few others.
They all won, and broke up with their husbands/boyfriends. All got cheated on. The darn Oscar Curse!October 15, 2010 at 10:29AM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply

madman (guest)I'm glad you included Kristen Stewart. Natalie Portman didn't exactly turn heads for her acting in the Star Wars prequels but she went on to get an Oscar nomination and will probably get another one this year. Stewart has been doing quality films most of her life. Rileys is doing the film festival circuit and Leo is in other movies that may get her a nomination so Stewart might have a chance. A small chance but still a chance.October 15, 2010 at 2:37PM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply
(guest)Mara is great in her scenes, but she only appears in two. And sure, she's the central reason (at least in the film version of things) why Zuckerberg got started, but that's like giving an award to a red herring.October 15, 2010 at 3:30PM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply
Sia (guest)Umm no the Twilight role is perfectly fine. Don't diss Twilight because of the awful acting, directing and budget.October 15, 2010 at 3:38PM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply
KStew for Oscar (guest)What do you mean she has to finish Twilight in order to be taken seriously? WTF? Didn't Anna Kendrick just get a nomination? Kristen has way more serious movie credentials than Anna. Simply put, either you have a Twilight bias or you don't know what you're talking aobut which means we should disreagard what you're saying PERIOD. Because what you just said about Kristen getting an Oscar not based upon everything we are hearing about her performance is just ridiculous.
You cannot say that about Kristen and Twilight being a "con" when Anna was just nominated the entire awards' season last year and she plays a major well-known beloved character.
We shouldn't take you seriously.October 15, 2010 at 4:13PM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply
feather (guest)All of you saying Kristen Stewart can't act clearly haven't seen her in The Cake Eaters, Speak, Into The Wild, The Runaways OR WELCOME TO THE RILEYS!! Kristen is incredible in WTTR and I hope she's nominated for an Oscar because she deserves it! She took a lot of risks in the film and it paid of big time. Jason, Jess & Tam: if you don't like Kristen or the postive comments hitfixgregory made about her performance THEN DON'T READ THE STORY! idiotsOctober 16, 2010 at 2:06AM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply
tamThe guy didn't make any good comments about her acting. He just named movies which she had done and which the most people didn't even see.
But yes, I saw Cake Eaters and Speak. Very normal acting for a young actress but now she's an adult and should act that way.
And she didn't take any risks. She played a depressed girl (again) and played in a movie where the sex is an important factor (again). So where is the risk?
Btw this isn't a story about Kristen Stewart. Look at the headline it's about the best contenders.October 16, 2010 at 6:21AM EST
B (guest)tam
I find it funny how you say that this isn't a story about Kristen Stewart, which it indeed isn't, but yet you only seem to care to talk about her. Apparently, you are tired of the promotion of Stewart, when this article is about, and equally "promoting", 20 performances. To me it seems you don't even care about what the article is about, and it most certainly don't seem as you read through it based on your comment.
As for the contendors in the Supporting category, Bonham Carter is a safe bet. I would also love a nod for Amy Adams and wouldn't mind a double nod for The Fighter so that Melissa Leo got in as well(like Up in the Air did last year). I think Hailee Steinfeld has a great shot at a nod, seeing she stars in one of the most anticipated movies of the year and the academy seemns to like newcomers. For the last spot I'd say either Sissy Spacek or Miranda Richardson.October 16, 2010 at 9:22AM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply
Vivien (guest)Wow people hate much! These nominations are not about the person's personality or their past & current performances; it's about the role they are nominated for. Kristen is amazing in this film!!! She is raw, vulnerable and feels real. This performance is unlike any other!!! She deserves this nomination more than anyone else in this category. When you watch this movie set your bias Kristen prejudice aside and watch the performance.
Yes I'm a fan of Kristen's and Twilight and agree 100% that you can't count it as a con when Anna was nominated. After all it was Twilight that made Anna a household name. So it is no more a con than it was for Anna!October 16, 2010 at 9:50AM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply
Dean (guest)bonham Carter definitely, Sissy Spacek probably, Melissa Leo too, maybe Richardson or Adams. Hell, I saw Welcome to the Riley's and thought Stewart shined honestly, so I wouldn't have a problem with her getting a nod as well.October 17, 2010 at 6:35AM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply
Paul (guest)Ms. Hershey has had such an accomplished career for some 40+ years. She deserves the accolades and the Oscar for this powerful performance. She's not one to do publicity so we'll see how that aspect plays out. In any case, if my vote counted, she would have it.October 18, 2010 at 7:47PM ESTReply as a guest Login & reply

Tax plan will create more jobs
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 7:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 7:41 p.m.
Over the past five years, we overhauled our ethics laws, revamped workforce development programs, eliminated burdensome business taxes and passed landmark reforms to help give every child in Louisiana the opportunity to get a great education.
Every challenge we have taken on has been about making Louisiana the best place in the world to find a job and raise a family.
Our work is starting to pay off. We're now at the top of many rankings for the best business climates in the country, and we are one of only six states that have more jobs now than at the beginning of the recession.
But — there are still too many Louisianians looking for work, too many Louisianians that want to find better-paying jobs and still too many Louisianians living in other states because they couldn't find work here.
That's unacceptable.
I ran for governor to make sure that all of our sons and daughters could pursue their dreams here at home. We have made progress on that front, but our work is far from over.
One of the biggest obstacles we face in helping more Louisianians find work is Louisiana's tax code because it's complex, unstable and unfair.
We have over 460 loopholes on the books that make our system complex, volatile and unfair.
If you have a lobbyist and lawyer, you have a loophole.
Let me put that a different way. In 2011, we actually went in the hole on corporate income tax by some $76 million. We actually paid companies through loopholes to not pay corporate income tax. That goes to show you our tax system is unfair and riddled with loopholes and exemptions.
We need a system where powerful special interest groups will no longer be able to rig the system. And to bring more job opportunities to Louisiana, we must start by having a tax structure that looks like it was designed on purpose.
That's why my top priority is to eliminate income taxes and over 200 loopholes in a revenue neutral way.
Eliminating income taxes will have six benefits.
First, eliminating income taxes will help make Louisiana the best place to start a business. States with no income taxes are outperforming other states in terms of economic growth and population growth. Over the last ten years, more than 60 percent of the three million new jobs in America were created by the nine states without an income tax.
Second, eliminating income taxes will give more control to the taxpayer. Eliminating income taxes and closing loopholes will reduce the tax burden for individuals and families across every income level.
For instance, a teacher making $45,000 per year would see her annual state tax burden reduced by more than $800 on average. An employee at a landscaping company and a stay-at-home mom making a total of about $35,000 per year would see their annual state tax burden reduced by more than $150.
A plant worker making $60,000 per year would see his annual state tax burden reduced by around $1,000.
Third, by eliminating income taxes and loopholes, everyone will pay their fair share, and no more than that.
Fourth, we're going to close special interest loopholes. Powerful special interest groups will no longer be able to rig the system.
Fifth, we are going to protect food, prescription drugs and utilities from the state sales tax. Sixth, and finally, by switching to a sales tax base, there will be more stability in funding for government services.
For too long, we've talked about getting rid of income taxes and said we need to compete with Texas and Florida. But, we've always just talked and tinkered around the edges of real reform.
This is our moment to eliminate the income tax and unleash major economic growth and opportunity in our state that will help keep our sons and daughters here at home to find jobs and raise their families.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team has signed three players to National Letters of Intent, first-year head coach Royce Chadwick announced today. Janae Blount (Washington D.C./Howard D. Woodson HS), Ashanti Plummer (Manhattan, N.Y./Lab Museum United HS) and Morgan Schwartz (Garden City, Texas/Midland CC) have all signed on to join the Islanders program for the 2012-13 season.
"We are very excited to add these recruits to our signing class," Chadwick said. "Adding this talent to our returnees gives us a solid foundation for the future. With the preseason schedule that we inherited, facing such potential foes as Texas, Colorado, TCU, Auburn, San Diego State and Indiana, they will have to mature in a hurry. We are looking forward to the challenge."
Blount joins the Islanders after four seasons at Howard D. Woodson High School under head coach Frank Oliver Jr. The 5-foot-8 guard averaged 10.2 points per game while tallying 4.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.
She led the Lady Warriors to a 26-5 record while earning First Team All-D.C. Interscholastic Athletic Association (DCIAA) honors. She was named MVP of the Capital Classic after scoring an event-best 25 points for the Interhigh All-Stars. Blount has garnered four consecutive DCIAA championships in four years while winning two city titles.
"Janae played for Frank Oliver, one of the most successful high school coaches in the nation," Chadwick said. "She has never had a season in which she did not win a championship. Her offensive game is big time and I anticipate her adding a tremendous dimension to our team. She has the potential to become a premier Division I star."
Plummer, a 6-foot-2 forward, comes to the Island University after spending the last three years at Lab Museum United High School. She is the first Gator to play Division I basketball. During her senior season, Plummer averaged 18.1 points per game while pulling down 13.6 rebounds to help her team advance to the Division A Final Four for the first time under head coach Katie Jungers.
Plummer was named All-Manhattan Second Team and competed in the 2012 NYC Mayor's Cup All-Star Game. Since 2010, the incoming freshman has been part of the Long Island Lightning AAU team. In addition, Plummer was part of the 2012 Wheelchair Charities High School Basketball Classic.
"Ashanti has only been playing organized basketball since her sophomore year," Chadwick said. "She is growing by leaps and bounds in her development and she possesses the highest upside of any player in the country. Roxanne White did a great job of recruiting her, in that she was always a believer through Ashanti's ups and downs that she would blossom into one of New York City's finest prospects. She was right."
Schwartz, a 6-foot-2 post from Garden City, will have two years of eligibility remaining after playing two seasons at Midland CC for head coach Ron Jones. In her sophomore campaign with the Lady Chaparrals, Schwartz averaged 3.3 points while tallying 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals a game while coming off the bench. As a freshman, she averaged 6.3 points and 4.9 rebounds in 33 games.
"Morgan played in one of the toughest Junior College conferences in the nation and played for one of the best JC coaches," Chadwick said. "She adds a dimension to our team that we were extremely lacking in that we need a seasoned inside-the-paint veteran player. Morgan will bring stability to that position. She will bring leadership and savvy to our post game. We look forward to a stellar career for her."

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|<< Hitler's views on the Jew...
|< Irving the historian
|Goebbels's diary entry fo... >
|Findings in relation to t... >>
The timing of the "final solution" to the Jewish question: the Schlegelberger note
13.32 In my opinion Irving's treatment of the Schlegelberger note and the importance which he attaches to it shed important light on the quality of his historiography.
13.33 It is to be borne in mind that the note is undated and unsigned. It is hearsay in the sense that its author is recording what Lammers claims to have been told by Hitler. It is an Abschrift (copy) rather than an original document. It has a number of unsatisfactory features, which might give rise to doubts about its authenticity. There is no clear evidence of the context in which the note came into existence. Yet Irving has seized upon the note and regards it, to quote his own words, as a "high-level diamond document". According to Irving, the note demonstrates that it was Hitler's wish that the entire Jewish question be postponed until the end of the war. It is therefore the linchpin of his argument that Hitler was the Jews' friend. The question is whether that is a conclusion towhich an objective historian might sensibly come, taking due account of the surrounding circumstances.
13.34 I shall not devote time to discussing the question whether the document dates from 1941 (in which case it would be a wholly unremarkable document since it was at that time Hitler's view that the Jews should in due course be deported) or from 1942, since Evans was disposed to accept, at least for the sake of argument, that the latter date may well be the correct one.
13.35 On the assumption that the note is a 1942 document, I consider that, in the light of all the surrounding circumstances and in the light of subsequent events, it is (to put it no higher) very doubtful if the Schlegelberger note is evidence of a wish on the part of Hitler to postpone the Jewish question until after the war, that is, to take no offensive action against them of any kind until after the cessation of hostilities. I do not believe that Irving was able to provide a satisfactory answer to the Defendants' question: why should Hitler have decided suddenly in March 1942 to call a halt to a process which had been going on with his authority on a massive scale for at least six months. I am persuaded that, for the reasons advanced by Evans, it is at least equally likely that the note is concerned with the complex problems thrown up by the question how to treat half-Jews (mischlinge). It is noteworthy that the evidence suggests that at the Wannsee conference in January 1942 (where Heydrich claimed to be speaking with the authority of Hitler) a programme for the extermination of Jews had been discussed and in broad terms agreed upon. The delegates were, however, unable to resolve the thorny question of the mischlinge. That issue caused concern within the Ministry of Justice (where both Lammers and Schlegelberger worked). A resumed session of the Wannsee conference was arranged for 6 March 1942, when the question of the mischlinge was again discussed. There is no support in the documentary evidence for Irving's contention that there was on this occasion general discussion of the Jewish question. No solution having been agreed, the balance of the evidence in my view suggests that it was decided to refer the issue of the mischlinge to Hitler for his decision. If that be right, the note simply records what Hitler decided on that limited question. If the Defendants' explanation of the note is correct (and I have held that it is at least as likely an explanation as that put forward by Irving), the note does not possess the significance which Irving attaches to it.
13.36 I do not regard the arguments advanced by Irving, which I have set out at paragraphs 5.165-7, as being without merit: they are worthy of consideration. But I do consider the Defendants' criticism to be well- founded that Irving presents the Schlegelberger note as decisive and incontrovertible evidence (see Hitler's War at p464) when, as he should have appreciated, there are powerful reasons for doubting that it has the significance which he attaches to it. Irving's perception of the importance of the note appears to take no account of the mass murder of the Jews which took place soon afterwards.

Round Two of selecting a new school superintendent is slated to commence March 19 when Oak Ridge Board of Education members plan to meet and select several finalists for the position.
The city School Board on Monday night decided to meet on that day with personnel from Ray & Associates, the Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based professional search firm hired by the Board to conduct a nationwide search for candidates. The Board plans to go over the information on the semifinalists that day and select several finalists to interview.
The interviews would take place on March 26, the Board decided on Monday night. The School Board would then decide how to proceed after the interviews.
In December, the School Board interviewed three of five potential finalists, but none were chosen to fill the position. Two withdrew their applications and a third didn't get a second interview, as reported in The Oak Ridger earlier this month.
The School Board decided earlier this month to increase the projected salary for the position to $175,000. In the first search the salary was set at $150,000 to $160,000. A Ray & Associates official told the School Board that in the previous search at least three of the five potential finalists said the salary and benefits offered were below their expectations.
Tom Bailey retired as the city's school superintendent at the end of December. Robert Smallridge has been hired as interim superintendent until a new schools chief is selected. He retired as Oak Ridge school superintendent in 1998 after having served in that position for 20 years.
Donna Smith can be contacted at (865) 220-5502.

It would be nice to be able to drop a cfg file in a movie folder based on simple text that could store transcoding options for each individual movie so once you figured out the right settings for each file, the pms would remember how you wanted it played
-Or- it could remember by itself what worked for you the last time you watched it and store it for next time. That could be at the top of the transcode list as *preferred* or something like that.
Nevertheless, great software already!!!

He has the look of an athlete, compact with broad shoulders. He also has something of a pre-game focus, a quiet intensity, and gives the impression, even as he answers questions, that he has his eye on the ball and he's not forgetting for a moment that right now he's involved in the biggest game of his career.
At just 49, Brian Moynihan is engaged in the complicated task of integrating Merrill Lynch into Bank of America.
A graduate of Brown University and the University of Notre Dame Law School, Moynihan joined FleetBoston in April 1993 as deputy general counsel, and came to Bank of America following its acquisition of FleetBoston.
He arrived at his present position as the head of Bank of America's Global Banking and Wealth Management in January, after Bank of America's $50 billion acquisition of Merrill Lynch and the departure of Merrill's CEO John Thain.
"He has proved in difficult environments he is very capable," said Anthony DiNovi, co-president of Boston private-equity firm Thomas H. Lee Partners LP, in a Wall Street Journal article by Dan Fitzpatrick and Suzanne Craig. The article addressed Moynihan's emergence as a right-hand man and potential successor to Bank of America Corp. Chief Executive Kenneth Lewis.
DiNovi, who has worked with Moynihan on past deals, also said, "When Ken has a tough job at hand he turns to Brian, and Brian has always been there for him."
Moynihan, who grew up in a small town in Ohio, lives in Wellesley, Massachusetts with his wife, Susan Berry, whom he met while he was at Brown, and their three children. He credits Susan's family, along with playing rugby (which has taken him to Ireland on occasion), with bringing him up to speed on Irish culture.
"My wife's grandmother is from Ireland so she's more the classic sort of Boston Irish – the Clancy brothers, the Irish humor and all that stuff," he says, adding that he's been at many St. Patrick's Day Parades in Southie. His own family immigrated in the 1850s to upstate New York and grew vegetables.
Our meeting took place on the afternoon of June 15, at the newly constructed Bank of America Tower at Avenue on the Americas in Midtown Manhattan. The massive steel and glass structure – a one billion dollar project – located on Avenue of the Americas – would seem to signal Bank of America's confidence that it will weather this current financial crisis.
As I receive my visitor's pass from Security and find my way into the inner sanctum of the largest bank in the United States, passing through a futuristic set of glass doors, I cannot help but think of Moynihan's ancestors being processed by immigration officials after landing in New York. They could hardly have foreseen a future that included anything like this. But it is a tribute to those hardscrabble ancestors, and perhaps because he had inherited some of their tenacity and understanding "that it doesn't all break your way all the time, so you've got to just power through it," that Moynihan took time out from his hectic schedule to talk to Irish America, and agreed to give the Keynote Address at our annual Wall Street 50 dinner on August 24.
Your family came over when?
In the 1850's. Both my parents come from small towns in upstate New York where the Irish part of their families had farms and then opened some stores. My grandfather was a lawyer up there. My dad went to school and became a chemist to work for DuPont. I'm one of eight children, number six. My parents moved to a little town in Ohio, called Marietta, the month before I was born.
After doing your undergrad at Brown you went to Notre Dame Law School. Was that a different experience?
Very different. Brown was a great school but it was very heavily Eastern. My grandfather and my uncle both went to Notre Dame, so I had a great Notre Dame tradition. It was the best place in the world to go to law school. It was a very supportive place and we had more fun than we probably should have had. It's a great school for a lot of reasons, but the law school was small, you really knew the professors, you really knew the undergraduates. I played rugby so it was fun, too.
Do you think Rev. John Jenkins, Notre Dame's president, was right to invite President Obama to give the commencement speech?
I think he was right, his reasoning was right. I think at the end of the day one of the challenges for a place like Notre Dame is to ensure that they maintain their willingness to have the debate. I think going back to Father Hesburgh ["Father Ted," the man who led the University of Notre Dame for 35 years], the reason why the university has had such an impact on political leaders and others in this country, is that they're willing to have debates even though they have a heritage and a particular point of view. It served them well.

An Entertainment Software Association report states that there are more women gamers than there are boys 17 years and younger who game play in the US.
That will come as a surprise to many at the E3 conference in Los Angeles where there are few female lead characters to be seen in the latest games, and many of the stands still employ booth babes to grab attention.
The face of gaming 2013.
Female gamers are to be seen at E3 - the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. But they are few and far between.
Nyko develops and makes products for the digital market, specializing in interactive entertainment and consumer electronics plus online and wireless technologies.
Their brand here stands out - with booth babes enticing customers, clad in high heeled boots and skimpy outfits.
For Jess Sylvia, a Product Specialist at Nyko, there is a plus side to the lack of women at this year's show:
"The line to the bathroom's pretty short compared to the men's bathroomm, which is great for us as product demonstrators here. However, I think the thing is E3 is not a consumer event. It's a trade event, it's an industry event. And as much women love to game and are buying 45% of the market, the industry is still men primarily."
The Entertainment Software Association has released a report to coincide with the Electronic Entertainment Expo that says women are a bigger segment of the game-playing population than boys 17-years-old and younger.
Lara Da Costa and Deann Hinajosa, both avid gamers and "Legend of Zelda" fans say they would like more shooter games targeted at women.
Nintendo's Legend of Zelda is an action packed adventure game that centres around the character 'Link' who often has to rescue Princess Zelda.
EA's Battlefield 4 is a multiplayer, hands on game that involves assault choppers, tanks, gunships and military manoeuvres.
Game developers say they get requests from fans to allow players to choose a female avatar or to create female characters, as Lars Gustavsson, the Creative Director for Electronic Arts' "Battlefield 4" explains: "It's a feature request that keeps coming up. In 'Battlefield 4' you're playing male soldiers. We haven't added female soldiers."
Ubisoft's Watch Dogs is an action adventure game based on a lead male character, Aiden Pearce. He can hack into various city operating systems in an alternative reality to Chicago, Illinois.
The trailer, seen here at E3, depicts a seedy underbelly of crime, smoke filled clubs and naked women.
At the other end of the scale, Disney Infinity, which will be released in August, is based around characters from movies primarily aimed at children.
Sega provided a glitzy launch for its Turbo HD remix which comes with a complete graphic overhaul.
On the red carpet, actress Michelle Rodriguez, explains why she's tired of some fighter games:
"I'm all about first-man shooters. I got tired of pressing the buttons. It was like the fighter games just turned into who could press the buttons faster? I win! And then my fingers would get sore and I was like, this sucks! This is like wack."
EA's Mirror's Edge is another urban themed game in which runners transport sensitive data . As a player you are a runner called Faith. When Faith's sister is framed for a murder she didn't commit Faith finds herself on the wrong side of the law.
Peter Moore, from Electronic Arts, says Faith comes from a long line of strong female character leads:
"It's not that I've never thought of Faith as a woman. Faith is the strong lead character in that game, who happens to be a woman. We can go back to Lara Croft and wherever you want to go with feminine lead characters here."
"It's not making some political statement that women need to be in there and she's a token chick. It's Faith - that's what she does and she's great at doing it."
But anyone at E3 this year couldn't fail to notice the booth babes lined up - although some, like Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of "South Park" claim not to have noticed them: "Did not see them. Did not look at them. They were there but I did not look at them. There is a lot of booth babes here but we walked right by them and we're like, we're married and we're not looking at them and so we didn't. Hehehe."
The 17th E3 has been shaped by the battle between the next-generation consoles.
Organizers say 48,200 video game industry professionals, analysts, journalists and retailers attended the show.
How many of them will be women in 2014 remains to be seen.

THEIR COMMERCIAL VALUE By J. P. ROWE
yT ONTANA \ /1 ranks first XV J. in the
production of copper, fifth in the production of gold, and of the Rocky Mountain States, it ranks third in the production of coal. Its coal area, however, greatly exceeds that of any Western State, and it bids fair to equal Colorado and Wyoming within a few years.
Its coal fields have been mined for more than a quarter of a century, but, owing to the size of the State and the sparsity of its population, the fields have been very slowly developed. In 1880 less than 250 short tons of coal, valued at less than $1,000, were produced in the entire State. In 1903, however, the production amounted to upwards of 1,600,000 tons, valued at over $2,600,000 at the mines. The production for 1904 was a little less, owing to a few shut-downs. That of 1905 is expected to exceed the output of any previous year.
More than $6,000,000 are now invested in the coal properties of Montana; nearly 3,000 men are employed, receiving salaries amounting to nearly $2,000,000 annually. The average number of days each miner works during a
year is about 245. However, the mines at a few places are working alternate days. There are now 550 finished coke-ovens and 100 others partially finished. In 1901 over 57,000 tons of coke were produced in the State, valued at about $360,000 at the ovens. In 1904 the production was about 30,000 tons of coke.
The coal fields may be divided into three general groups: First, the Eastern or Plains Cretaceous Lignites� covering more than half of Montana. Second, the Metamorphosed or Middle Mountainous Cretaceous Deposits�including semi-bituminous, bituminous, semi-anthracite and coking coals�running northwest-southeast across the State. Third, the extreme Western or Tertiary or Neocene Lake Beds Lignite, embracing almost the entire width of the State. In each of these general groups many mines are now in operation.
The most productive area is the Middle Metamorphosed group, which furnishes all the coke and practically all the coal. It is divided into ten fields, as follows :
(1) Fiathead: Flathead County (North, Middle, and South Forks). 2. Great Falls: Teton County( Choteau) ; Lewis and Clark County (Augusta) ; Cascade County (Sand Coulee, Belt and Stockett) ; Fergus County; Meagher County (Northwest Corner,

Mills River Presbyterian Church launches GROW
Mills River Presbyterian Church is launching a new community initiative, "Garden Rolling on Wheels" (GROW).
The initiative, which starts at 10 a.m. March 1 at the church at 10 Presbyterian Church Road, includes the start of a tire garden on a flatbed trailer that will grow winter greens for the community.
"Six discarded car tires that have been turned inside out will be filled with a sustainable compost soil mixture used for the small-space garden," Bob Andersen, a member of First Presbyterian Church in Mills River, stated in a news release.
"We hope to educate people on the techniques of container garden growing, much as they do in global villages around the world, such as in Guatemala. Part of this educational outreach will be to drive the GROW tire garden to the Mills River Farmers Market this spring to spur interest in growing sustainable gardens. After that, the harvest will be donated to the needy in our area."
Mills River Education Center has donated the seeds for the first crop of winter greens, which will include kale, arugula, mustard and dill.
Middle school students from The Mountain Community School in Hendersonville and local Boy Scout and Cub Scout groups will participate in the event. The Exxon gas station in Etowah has donated the tires.
A GROW team of church members and community representatives has organized the program and will work on continuing education efforts for the next year.
"All Asheville and Hendersonville area residents are invited to participate in the kick-off of this community project on March 1," Andersen said.

SAN JOSE -- Richard Rodriguez, who has been serving as an unpaid consultant and contract negotiator for the tiny Luther Burbank School District, has taken over as interim leader after the sudden and puzzling resignation of its superintendent last week.
Jan Kaay, who had led the district for nearly three years, resigned April 30, in the middle of the district's spring break. At a special meeting that day, with hardly anyone except trustees present, the board appointed Rodriguez, 63, as its temporary chief.
It is the third time in less than six years that the one-school district has abruptly changed chiefs midyear.
Kaay's letter said she was resigning voluntarily but did not mention the reason nor future plans. "I am thankful for the opportunity I have had to work with the dedicated administrators, teachers and staff of Luther Burbank School," she wrote. She could not be reached for comment.
Board President Lorraine Garza said the board didn't have any problems with Kaay. "There's a lot of people who are going to miss her. She's a very, very good person."
During Kaay's tenure, the district has been largely free of the turmoil that afflicted it for at least a decade. Santa Clara County civil grand juries have slammed the school board for conflicts of interest, intimidating employees and mishandling and wasting funds. A previous board ousted Rodriguez while he was traveling in 2008. He later recruited and campaigned for three board candidates. After they won seats in 2010, they booted out the superintendent and installed Rodriguez temporarily.
The next spring, the grand jury criticized Rodriguez for being overly influential as a consultant.
He was succeeded by Kaay, whom he had recommended to the board, in July 2011.
For several months, the board has been meeting in closed session to discuss Kaay's evaluation. Rodriguez has sat in on board closed sessions.
"There have been mixed messages to the staff about who is in charge," said teacher Fran Heller, who is bargaining chairwoman for the teachers union.
Rodriguez's January 2011 contract with the district calls for him to recommend a board attorney and to advise, perform duties and make recommendations to the board -- all for free, as a "charitable contribution." The contract allows for him to be paid for mileage to San Jose from his Gilroy home.
Rodriguez began his teaching career in Luther Burbank shortly after college, then was named superintendent in 2001.
The 108-year-old district serves about 600 mostly poor and immigrant children from preschool through eighth grade. It covers the unincorporated Burbank neighborhood, near the interchange of interstates 280 and 880.
Several months ago the board designated Rodriguez, along with its attorney, Richard Noack, as its representatives to negotiate with the teachers union over a new contract. Shortly after the sides settled, the union filed a grievance and an unfair labor practices complaint, alleging that the district unilaterally sought to change the salary schedule by claiming a clerical error more than a decade ago.
"We don't believe you can make a clerical error for 14 years," Heller said.
With Kaay's sudden departure, Rodriguez said, "I'm having to fly by the seat of my pants right now. It's kind of difficult to walk into somebody's shoes and try to pick up where they left off, when there's no information and no notes."
The board meets Tuesday to vote on Rodriguez's contract. He said he will be paid more than his previous stint as interim superintendent, when he made $670 per day.
On Monday he issued a letter to preschool staff banning "unauthorized family members on campus," cellphone use in the classroom and adults chatting with each other during recess and threatening to write up those who violate those edicts.
"I don't have a lot of time to be monitoring you as a staff," he wrote in a staff memo on Friday, "but if you have to be monitored both Lupe, my administrative assistant, (and) I will do so and you will be written up for any infractions of these rules."
Rodriguez said a top priority now is to find a permanent superintendent, a task he may take on himself. "I don't think we need to hire a professional search firm for a one-school district," he said, citing the "exorbitant" expense. "Probably there's not going to be a lot of community involvement or staff involvement."

Roger and Stan advance
30.07.2012 | Tennis, Starseite 1
Roger and Stanislas Wawrinka advanced to the second round of the London Olympics thanks to a 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-4 victory over Kei Nishikori and Go Soeda of Japan.
The Swiss missed a total of four break chances in the opening set, but secured the second thanks to an early break. They managed just the same in the third set, not giving away the advantage of an early lead after a break and wrapping up the match upon the second match-ball after 2 hours and 16 minutes.
They will now play Israel's Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram.

By Peter BeckerManaging EditorWALLENPAUPACK -The proposed $63.2 million budget and tax rates for Wallenpaupack Area School District were presented May 13, with the smallest tax increase request in four years.On June 17, the School Board is expected to vote for passage of the budget, which has to be in place by June 30. The final tax levels may be lower than what were announced, depending on decision of the state legislature on education funding, and another month of real estate valuation.The proposed tax rate for Wayne County property owners in Wallenpaupack Area School District is 13.1517 mills.The proposed tax rate for Pike County property owners in Wallenpaupack Area School District is 66.4832 mills.While the numbers are wildly different, this is due to differences in property assessments between the two counties. State law requires the conversion of assessed value to market value, with the result being that everyone pays a fair share of tax.The increase in Wayne County is 1.11 percent more than the current level; in Pike the increase is 1.96 percent higher than the present tax level. In both cases the percentage increases are the lowest since 2010-2011.These projected tax rates are the lowest among school districts serving Pike County and the second lowest among districts in Wayne County. Only Susquehanna Area School District, which serves a small part on northern Wayne County, has a lower tax rate.The proposed budget totals $63,219,130.00.District Fund Balance and Reserves include:� General Fund $4,321,319� Designated Health Fund $2,767,800� Designated PSERS Fund (pension) $2,292,884� Designated GASB 45 (post employment benefits) $1,314,721� Capital Reserve Fund $396,521.New revenues are less than in the past. These include Assessed Value Growth $107,525; Property Taxes $834,466; Realty Transfer Taxes $25,000 and the proposed state Basic Education Subsidy of $111,693.Governor Corbett proposed a level for the Basic Education Subsidy, but School Districts are waiting to learn the outcome of the final state budget, which also must be passed by June 30.New expenditures include $283,956 for School Resource Officers; $683,865 for Pension; $685,865 for Health Benefits; $13,000 for Insurance and $308,949 for Debt Service.Silsby stated that the employee health benefits are at their lowest cost in the 12 years he has been superintendent.The pension cost, however, is up 37 percent.A lot will depend on the final state budget. The Governor's pension plan would trim $296,000 from the Wallenpaupack budget if it passes.Insurance is up 10.7 percent.Wallenpaupack has been able to save $1,511,313 this year from not filling 12 positions for the 2013-2014 school year after personnel announced plans to retire. Since 2010 the District eliminated 44.5 positions through attrition, saving over $6 million.Silsby noted that they were able to accomplish this without compromising educational programs or impairing desired class sizes. Personnel reduction has been concurrent with a drop in enrollment over the years. Since 2008 the District has reduced by 499 students. The current enrollment is 3,402.

9.6-2 Theft of Computer Services -- § 53a-251 (c) and §§ 53a-252 through 53a-256
Revised to December 1, 2007
Note: The various types of computer crime are defined in § 53a-251. The degree of the offense is determined by the value of the property damaged or services stolen or interfered with. See § 53a-252 (first degree: exceeds $10,000), § 53a-253 (second degree: exceeds $5,000), § 53a-254 (third degree: exceeds $1,000), § 53a-255 (fourth degree: exceeds $500), and § 53a-256 (fifth degree: does not exceed $500). In addition, the value of the property or services is irrelevant if the defendant recklessly created a risk of serious physical injury, in which case it is third degree (e.g., interfering with the computer system of a medical or emergency organization).
The defendant is charged [in count __] with theft of computer services in the (first / second / third/ fourth / fifth) degree. The statute defining this crime reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of the computer crime of theft of computer services when (he/she) accesses or causes to be accessed or otherwise uses or causes to be used a computer system with the intent to obtain unauthorized computer services.
[<Insert if appropriate:> For the purposes of this statute, "person" means a natural person, corporation, limited liability company, trust, partnership, incorporated or unincorporated association and any other legal or governmental entity, including any state or municipal entity or public official. <Describe the status of the defendant as a person.>]
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Accessed computer
The first element is that the defendant accessed or caused to be accessed a computer system or otherwise used or caused to be used a computer system. "Computer system" means a computer, its software, related equipment, communications facilities, if any, and includes computer networks. "Computer" means a programmable, electronic device capable of accepting and processing data. "Computer network" means (A) a set of related devices connected to a computer by communications facilities, or (B) a complex of two or more computers, including related devices, connected by communications facilities. "Access" means to instruct, communicate with, store data in or retrieve data from a computer, computer system or computer network.
<Describe the specific allegations of the computer system accessed.>
Element 2 - Intent
The second element is that the defendant specifically intended to obtain unauthorized computer services. "Computer services" includes, but is not limited to, computer access, data processing and data storage.
Element 3 - Value of property
or services / Risk of serious physical injury
[<If the state is alleging a dollar amount of damages:>
The third element is that the damage to or the value of the property or computer services <insert according to degree charged:>
First degree: exceeds $10,000.
Second degree: exceeds $5,000.
Third degree: exceeds $1,000.
Fourth degree: exceeds $500.
Fifth degree: is $500 or less.
The value of property or computer services is either 1) the market value of the property or computer services at the time of the crime; or 2) if the property or computer services are unrecoverable, damaged or destroyed as a result of the crime, the cost of reproducing or replacing the property or computer services at the time of the crime. When the value of the property or computer services or damage to the property or the services cannot be satisfactorily ascertained, the value shall be deemed to be two hundred fifty dollars. The value of private personal data shall be deemed to be one thousand five hundred dollars.1
[<If there are multiple items and their values can be aggregated:> In making this determination, you may add or aggregate the value of the property involved. You can only aggregate amounts if the thefts were committed pursuant to one scheme or course of conduct, whether from the same or several persons.2]
[<If the state is alleging reckless conduct:>3
The third element is that the defendant engaged in conduct that created a risk of serious physical injury to another person. A person acts "recklessly" with respect to a result or circumstances when (he/she) is aware of and consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk that such result will occur or that such circumstances exist. <See Recklessness, Instruction 2.3-4.>
"Serious physical injury" is something more serious than mere physical injury, which is defined as "impairment of physical condition or pain." It is more than a minor or superficial injury. It is defined by statute as "physical injury which creates a substantial risk of death, or which causes serious disfigurement, serious impairment of health or serious loss or impairment of the function of any bodily organ."]
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant accessed <insert computer system>, 2) (he/she) intended to obtain unauthorized computer services, and 3) <insert the value of the damages or the allegations of recklessness>.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of theft
of computer services in the (first / second / third/ fourth / fifth) degree,
then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously
find that the state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the
elements, you shall then find the defendant not guilty.
1 General Statutes § 53a-259.
2 General Statutes § 53a-258.
Reckless conduct that creates a risk of serious physical injury to another
person is computer crime in the third degree. General Statutes § 53a-254.

Maryland Tops U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011
The University of Maryland's first place entry in the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011.
Secretary of Energy Steven Chu declared the University of Maryland the winner of the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011 on October 1. Purdue University took second place in the competition, and New Zealand (Victoria University of Wellington) garnered the third-place award in the 19-team event. The public event ran from September 23 to October 2 on the National Mall's West Potomac Park in Washington, D.C.
Team Maryland, runner-up in 2007, entered WaterShed, which proposed solutions to water and energy shortages, and was inspired by the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. Their team's entry was judged the best blend of affordability, consumer appeal, and design excellence with optimal energy production and maximum efficiency. En route to the top prize with a score of 951 out of a possible 1,000 points, Maryland took first place in the architecture contest and tied for first in the hot water contest, which requires a daily 15-gallon draw of water in 10 minutes or less for bathing or washing. They also took second in the market appeal contest, which considers livability, and in the appliances contest, which measures how efficiently they refrigerate food and power washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers. See the Solar Decathlon blog.
On September 30, Solar Decathlon organizers corrected the affordability contest results after discovering a minor error in the scoring spreadsheet calculations. The new numbers changed the outcome of the juried contest, which used a professional estimator and gave teams a maximum score for achieving a target construction cost of $250,000 or less. With its E-Cube more accurately valued at $249,568.09, Team Belgium (Ghent University) moved into the tie for first place with Parsons the New School for Design and Stevens University (which includes Milano School of International Affairs, Management, and Urban Policy at The New School). The cost estimation of Parsons NS Stevens did not change. Purdue University, which had been awarded first place earlier, dropped into second, as the value of its INhome was estimated at $257,853.70 instead of $249,568.09. See the Solar Decathlon blog.
The Solar Decathlon, launched in 2002 and organized by DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, is a free opportunity for the public to learn how to save energy and save money. It also trains the nation's next generation of engineers and architects with approximately 15,000 students participating in the contest over the past decade. Teams this year came from universities in California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia, as well as Belgium, Canada, China, and New Zealand. For more results, see the Solar Decathlon final scores and the Solar Decathlon website.

Kelli O'Hara on Broadway, 'Bridges of Madison County' and Babies
Broadway actress Kelli O'Hara is starring in a new musical adaptation of "The Bridges of Madison County" as Francesca, the Italian farm wife who has a chance meeting with a photographer visiting from out of town.
The musical, based on the best-selling novel by Robert James Waller (which was also adapted into a 1995 film), was written for O'Hara, a four-time Tony Award nominee who most recently starred on Broadway in "Nice Work If You Can Get It." It also stars Steven Pasquale, and is directed by Bartlett Sher with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown and a book by Marsha Norman.
In her personal life, O'Hara gave birth to a baby daughter about five months ago (she and husband Naughton also have a four-year-old son). While most moms have their hands full balancing baby feedings, diaper changes and naps, O'Hara is doing all that, plus performing "Bridges" eight times a week, for nearly three hours at a time.
The Oklahoma native sat with Speakeasy to discuss how she manages the seemingly impossible. For more on O'Hara and "Bridges," click here.
What is it about Francesca that draws you to her?
Now that I'm doing it I realize that it's a certain thing for a certain time in my life. She's a mother of two. She has had 18 years of an adult life that didn't exactly equal her youth. These are all things that I can understand. I grew up in Oklahoma, moved here [to New York], been here for almost the same length of time. Being an outsider, needing something, wanting something — all these things that are so alive in this part.
Do you have role models on Broadway who are also juggling performing with motherhood?
Yes, there are so many, and I think that we as women in this business look for them. It really is hard to think it's going to be possible. Audra [McDonald] has a daughter, and I always thought that was great. I have other girlfriends, my good friend Erin Dilly who was in "A Christmas Story," she has two girls. How are we hanging on, you know? How are we supporting each other and saying, "You're a good mom. Believe in yourself." I've got lots of people in the show that have kids right here with me. You just try to look around yourself and say, other people are doing it. I have to say it doesn't happen as much as I'd like to see it happen, so it makes me a little nervous, but I'm determined. I'm determined to, in this moment, right now, make both things work. But I'm also saying to you right now, it can't be always. I will have a break and be a mother to my children. That is my goal.
In "Nice Work If You Can Get It," you performed opposite Matthew Broderick. How is working opposite your good friend Steven Pasquale in "Bridges"?
Steve and I have known each other for so long. We met really early on, toward the beginning of both of our moves here. So that was easy. In fact Bart kind of reminds us not to be so easy with each other in the first part. But at the same time, we have something in there that clicks right away because we're good friends. We've never dated or anything like that, but it's amazing how because of that, you can compartmentalize. You get on stage and you can really lose yourself in something because of the trust you have in a person.
You're in nearly every scene for two hours and 40 minutes, singing almost every song. How do you preserve your voice?
I've always been too confident because I'm pretty hardy, you know? I usually have been. But then you bring babies into the mix who bring colds from school, or you're not sleeping enough. So, this past week I kind of thought well, it's time to stop coffee. I drink so much water. I have a face steamer, I steam my voice. I stretch my body so my body's warm so I can actually support my voice. I think people think the voice is one thing but it's basically like being a runner. If you don't stretch, you could pull something.
Were you familiar with the book of "Bridges" or the film before this?
Yeah, I read the book when I was a teenager. I remember it vividly because it was just a little bit racy and wonderful. I loved it for that reason. I didn't ever watch the movie all the way through and then when this came up I purposely didn't go back and watch it. I've seen clips of it because I wanted to see Meryl and I wanted to see the glory of what she does. We revisited the book because Steve and I did the audio version of it for re-release. But I didn't want to go to the movie because that's actually a reinterpretation of the source material that's not our interpretation. Ours is so vastly different. The genre's different, the language is different. You know more about my past, the Italian nature.

Your face is a work of art. Every curve. Every detail. With a simple stroke of the pen, an artist can change the image. But when the tool is a syringe and an injectable drug or filler, those changes can be serious. Before you decide to have any cosmetic procedure, including injectables, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reminds you to do your homework. Make sure you place your trust in the practice of a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Retailing | A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order halting the $21.4 million purchase of retail chain Hastings Entertainment by Joel Weinshanker, president and sole shareholder of Wizkids parent National Entertainment Collectibles Association. The order was granted at the request of two Hastings shareholders who sued to stop the sale, insisting the price paid for the retailer is too low; it will remain in effect until a hearing can be held on June 12. Hastings issued a statement Monday pledging to "vigorously dispute these claims." Hastings operates a chain of 149 stores that sells books, comics, video games and more.
