Johnny Depp to Team Up With Wes Anderson in 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'
While he's still busy filming "The Lone Ranger", Johnny Depp manages to score a new movie project. The "Dark Shadows" leading actor has been locked to star in director Wes Anderson's next movie "The Grand Budapest Hotel", Deadline reports.
Details of what character Depp will tackle are still unclear since the film's plotline is still kept under tight wraps. The upcoming project seems to confirm previous reports suggesting that Anderson is eyeing a European-set film as his next gig and courting a number of high-profile actors to star in it.
Anderson himself will provide the script in addition to serving behind the lens. He will also serve as the producer along with Scott Rudin and Steven Rales.
Oscar-nominated Anderson has lately been stealing attention through his acclaimed work on "Moonrise Kingdom". The highly-praised 1960s-set drama successfully scores nearly $40 million domestically, which is quite a big result for an indie movie.
"The Grand Budapest Hotel" will likely be Depp's next big screen stint after "Lone Ranger" since his planned project with Rob Marshall, "The Thin Man", has been pushed for the time being.

One who is very practical and seemingly stoic but unknown to many outsiders has a very sensitive disposition. Maxims are composed of a rare mixture of professionalism and fratitude, often glorified by their male peer base for outrageous behavior and profound judgments. Maxims are adored by many female admirers due to their great backsides and choice of cologne. If you are ever caught alone with a Maxim and he orders you the atrocious fire, you can guarantee it's love.
Don't ever look a Maxim in the eye when you are about to challenge his authority.

An utterly worthless "men's magazine" (men being 15 year olds) that's about half advertisements, the other half consisting of articles encouraging you to buy certain hot, new products (read: more advertisements). Though often purchased for its promise of titillating female celebrity photos, the American version fails completely at this task as it is afraid to show its models in anything less than conservative lingerie.
After getting to the eighth page of my new issue of Maxim without seeing anything other than ads, I decided to close the idiotic periodical before I lost any more brain cells.

A Maxim is a big grey wolf. He is independent and relays on no one. Maxim has a handful of close friends that see him for who he really is. Maxim's are not what they seem from an outsiders perspective, they often appear as jerks or know-it-alls but they are really big softy's once you get to know them. Maxim's are beautiful with thick hair and deep eyes, eyes that aren't afraid of contact. Maxim's are confrontational and are not afraid of a challenge. A Maxim can be careless with girls hearts and often ends up breaking them.
Friend of Girl: Are you dating Maxim?
Girl: No, (sigh) we are just friends
Girl: No, (sigh) we are just friends

At a packed Beaumont City Council meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 13, incoming Ward IV councilman Bill Sam was sworn in and officially took his seat on the council. Sam was appointed to the elected position to fill the unexpired term left by former councilmember Jamie Smith, who was elected to serve the area as Jefferson County District Clerk.
After a tight race battling Republican Charlie Wiggins and a subsequent recount, new District Clerk Jamie Smith was finally sworn into his hard-won office Jan. 8 in the Jury Impaneling Room at the Jefferson County Courthouse.

Through various fundraising events and a traditional campaign, the employees of ExxonMobil raised more than $940,000 for the United Way Beaumont and North Jefferson County, and a corporate contribution of $500,000 brought the total donation to $1.4 million in 2014.

Computational modeling of mold filling and related free-surface flows in shape casting: an overview of the challenges involved
Cross, M., McBride, D., Croft, T.N., Williams, A.J., Pericleous, K. and Lawrence, J.A. (2006) Computational modeling of mold filling and related free-surface flows in shape casting: an overview of the challenges involved. Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B, 37 (6). pp. 879-885. ISSN 1073-5615 (Print), 1543-1916 (Online) (doi:10.1007/BF02735009)Full text not available from this repository.
Accurate representation of the coupled effects between turbulent fluid flow with a free surface, heat transfer, solidification, and mold deformation has been shown to be necessary for the realistic prediction of several defects in castings and also for determining the final crystalline structure. A core component of the computational modeling of casting processes involves mold filling, which is the most computationally intensive aspect of casting simulation at the continuum level. Considering the complex geometries involved in shape casting, the evolution of the free surface, gas entrapment, and the entrainment of oxide layers into the casting make this a very challenging task in every respect. Despite well over 30 years of effort in developing algorithms, this is by no means a closed subject. In this article, we will review the full range of computational methods used, from unstructured finite-element (FE) and finite-volume (FV) methods through fully structured and block-structured approaches utilizing the cut-cell family of techniques to capture the geometric complexity inherent in shape casting. This discussion will include the challenges of generating rapid solutions on high-performance parallel cluster technology and how mold filling links in with the full spectrum of physics involved in shape casting. Finally, some indications as to novel techniques emerging now that can address genuinely arbitrarily complex geometries are briefly outlined and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed.

As my title states, it's a good product and calibrated my speedo since I put 35's on. The only reason I give it 4/5 starts instead of 5/5 is because I had to put 33's in the programmer to calibrate my speedo correctly. When I put 35's and went for a drive, my speedo read 70mph when I was barely doing 60mph, what the heck? So I had to calibrate my truck about 4 times to get it dead on which was a bit annoying, but it eventually worked. Worth the $200 for me, I can't stand my speedo being off!

When Gigi was 5, her mother, Sarah Eisenstein, was getting worried. A big child - born at 10 pounds, 13 ounces - Gigi was gaining weight, as the family dined on hot dogs and ate chips as a snack.
Now, Eisenstein cooks eggplant and zucchini fries for Gigi and sister Isabella. Their mother learned these skills at Cooking with Friends, a Children's Hospital of Philadelphia program. Gigi, 8, tall for her age, is at a healthy weight.
The program that helped Eisenstein will expand into a community-based study, thanks to a new partnership between Children's and the food service company Aramark, announced Wednesday at the Enterprise Center in West Philadelphia.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Paul Juon was a student of Sergei Taneyev, who himself studied with Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov. The major works on this album are the Rhapsody, Op. 37 of Juon and the Piano Quartet, Op. 20 of Sergei Taneyev. There is only one other recording of Juon's Rhapsody while the Taneyev appears to be a CD debut. Both works date from 1906. These romantic Russian works are beautifully performed. Borodin's Polovetsian Dances in an arrangement for Piano Quartet round out the program nicely.

A marketer by profession, teacher by passion and a poet (with all humility, as friends say) by nature. born in India, resident in the Arabian Gulf. Brought up by parents of exceptional values, thanks to God, and still keeping most of their qualities and heritage to make them feel proud of what they composed in their youth. Literature has always been my passion, so did ran after most of the English romantics with great enthusiasm. Malayalam poets of immense quality imagination and craft is the gentle impulse that keep the fire intact. Urdu Ghazals contributed me to practice the tenderness of romance, love and devotion; devotion of various types. let us start building our relation with this uncut expressions. as moods and thoughts may keep varying, would be great to read a later state of mind.

Posted on 10/05/2005 1:13:54 PM PDT by backhoe
click here to read article
Mark Tapscott has stayed on the story of Joel Hinrichs, the Oklahoma University student who blew himself up outside the football stadium, long after the FBI dismissed it as a suicide brought on by depression. His vigilance has paid off, as it now appears that the FBI jumped to an erroneous conclusion and that Hinrichs meant to kill a lot more people than just himself:
Mark notes that the FBI continues to dismiss any other explanation than suicide. Keep checking in with Mark and with Michelle Malkin, both of whom remained skeptical about the official explanations and maintained visibility on this story.
*Updates below*
Authorities are investigating an explosion at an apartment complex in Texas City (home to one of the largest petrochemical complexes in the world) yesterday which killed one man and injured another. (hat tip: Nita Rene)
One man died Wednesday in an explosion at a Texas City apartment complex, KPRC Local 2 reported.
A resident was working with combustible materials inside a unit, sparking the explosion, investigators said. That man, whose identity was not released, died at the scene.
Today, investigators have identified the materials:
Authorities ordered two apartment complexes evacuated and set off a small explosion inside a unit today in an attempt to remove a substance believed to have caused a fatal blast Wednesday.
In a news conference today, federal and local officials said they believe the substance was peroxide-based.
The FBI refused to say whether it believes the men were preparing some kind of attack.
But Texas City Mayor Matt Doyle said: If we thought this was a terrorist act, the action would be a lot different than weve seen here today. Certainly, the FBI would have raised the level of security inside the city.'
Salway described the substance as similar to TATP, organic peroxide and a primary high explosive. It takes the form of a white crystalline powder with a distinctive acrid smell and has been described as a weapon of choice for suicide bombers.
TATP was also the explosive of choice of suicide bomber Joel Hinrichs outside a packed football stadium in Oklahoma last Fall, as well as the 07/07/05 London bombers.
Of course, the official line is Authorities dont believe terrorism was involved.
Here are photos of the scene, courtesy of the Galveston County Daily News:
and the Houston Chronicle:
The two victims have been identified.
The survivor of yesterday`s explosion, Curtis Jetton, is charged with making a false police report. Police say Jetton and the victim, 21-year-old Matthew Rugo, were working with chemicals inside the apartment when the first explosion took place.
According to public records, it appears Matthew Rugo was arrested two years ago on a misdemeanor weapons violation.
He was also charged in March 2005 with burglary of a habitation. Kohen said Rugo and co-defendant Christopher J. Distefano, 20, of Bellville, were accused of stealing rifles and other items from a home. He had pleaded guilty in the case but had not yet been sentenced. Distefano also was facing sentencing.
Contradictory reports about their possible affiliations:
A college student killed Wednesday afternoon in a blast at the Lakeview Apartments likely was part of a growing subculture of young people who like to see things blown up, authorities said.
Those same authorities insist he and a friend injured in the blast were not associated with any terrorist group domestic or otherwise.
That word contradicted TV news reports attributed to unnamed, highly placed federal sources that said the pair might be members of a four-person domestic terrorist group.
The injured man had recently been fired from his job cleaning offshore storage tanks and oilrigs:
Mickey Greene, the operations manager for Will Duett, a Galveston firm that specializes in cleaning offshore storage tanks and oilrigs, confirmed Jetton worked for him until recently. He said he told Jetton he wasnt needed anymore after failing to report to work Saturday.
A friend of Matts has posted a tribute to him here.
He had a special interest in explosives and firearms, as many guys do at the age. The only thing is he was a little more active in his interest. I have no doubt he enjoyed just seeing what he could accomplish with them and knowing that he had the knowledge and ability for them. If it wasnt for this accident, I bet he could have truly been a great pyrotechnician someday or something of the sorts.
Im not condoning what Matt did, but I just want to clear up any question on his intent. Matt was not a violent person and there really isnt a doubt in my mind that he did not meant any harm to anybody or anything. Im sure the most he would have done with any of his materials was take them out to some pasture or somewhere and see what he could do with them. They where basically his toys, though dangerous as they where. He had no more intent with his actions then someone with a bottlerocket aimed at an object in a junk heap.
Rest in Peace, Matt. The one true regret I have about this is that I cant tell you all the stir you made after the fact with the FBI, news reporters, bomb squads, the police blowing up the apartment complex, and helicopters going crazy. You would have truly loved it, and thought it an extremely befitting end.

There are a handfull of organic peroxides that might have been in use legitimately, but thats unlikely
What is more likely is that with all this publicity about TATP a fool was playing. The fool may have had a nefarious intent entirely unrelated to anything properly called terrorism - a grudge, for example, or a robbery.
With all the publicity
This stuff has been described as easy to make, and recipes are available. It may be simple in theory but it isnt simple in fact, and most amateurs wouldnt even recognize the pitfalls.
I have the training and equipment to do this - I have stirring hotplates, burets and other glassware, etc I also have all my fingers, and I like it that way. I wouldnt try this on a bet. There are several explosives I would try to make before Id try to make TATP - assuming I would try to make explosives, which I wouldnt.
Wild guess: Somebody tried to make some TATP with weak reagents and ended up with a mix of the di and tri forms. The di form is less powerful but way more sensitive.

THANK YOU Liberty Rocks.
Thanks for the ping, LibertyRocks. This is another episode where we'll never really know the whole story, IMO.
The mainstream mediots and Islamofascist lovers of America can't bury these acts of Islamofasicist terror any more.
Great job as usual!
Thanks for the ping and your additions.
This way all of this data will be one place and available to everyone.
All of this data makes it very hard for the bureaucrats in Oklahoma and DC to ignore what happened. They will continue to try spike any news, but that doesn't work anymore.
Same explosive intended for use in the planned plane bombings (that were thwarted a few weeks before they happened).
Keep me on your periodic PING list.
So many stories are immediately denied as having ANY terrorist component only to slowly leak out communications (suicide notes with outright statements of terrorism and support for Bin Laden).
It is why I say that we KNOW the authorities are lying to us about some attacks. This does not mean that they are lying to us about every attack; it just means that they cannot be trusted at their word.
An amazing amount of work. Good job.
Thanks for all your work and the ping! You rock!

Bet Giyorgis information
Resting off on its own, St George's Church is Lalibela's masterpiece. Representing the apogee of the rock-hewn tradition, the Bet Giyorgis is the most visually perfect church of all, a 15m-high three-tiered plinth in the shape of a Greek cross; a shape that required no internal pillars. Due to its exceptional preservation, it also lacks the obtrusive roofing seen over the other churches.
Inside, light flows in from the windows and illuminates the ceiling's large crosses: beauty in simplicity. Peer over the curtain to see the maqdas' beautiful dome. There are also two 800-year-old olive-wood boxes (one with opposing corkscrew keys) that locals believe were carved by King Lalibela himself and now hold the church's treasures. Some of the cavities in the walls surrounding the church hold mummified corpses.

I am reviewing our new amicus brief to be filed within weeks challenging ObamaCare at the Supreme Court. I can tell you that this brief represents a clear and compelling argument: the individual mandate, which forces Americans to purchase health insurance under penalty of law, is unconstitutional. It violates the Constitution.
I'm delighted to report that in addition to the 119 members of Congress who we will be representing on this brief, we have now heard from nearly 160,000 Americans who will stand with us - who will be part of our brief at the high court.
A majority of Americans have consistently opposed ObamaCare, with only 29% of Americans supporting it, according to a recent AP poll. But what caught my attention today was an opinion editorial in USA Today written by Dr. Marc Siegel, a respected physician, who also serves as a medical contributor on FOX News.
What Dr. Siegel pointed out is alarming. He argues there are several reasons why a growing number of physicians oppose the health care law. Many doctors, he says, just don't think the law makes economic sense. And, Dr. Siegel says the measure is likely to lead to what he calls a "diminished system" for patients.
That translates into longer waiting times for patients. And, according to a recent survey by the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions research group, nearly 3 out of every 4 doctors surveyed believe ObamaCare won't reduce health care costs. What's more, a majority of physicians, who took part in another survey, don't believe the American Medical Association (AMA), which endorsed ObamaCare in 2009, represents their views. The primary reason: the AMA's support of the measure.
One more thing. If you think the new health care law will attract the best and the brightest to the medical profession, think again. According to this Deloitte survey, 69% of the physicians are "pessimistic about the future of medicine" because of the law.
Of course, none of these facts and findings has dampened the Obama Administration's optimism that this flawed law will clear the Supreme Court challenges ahead.
In what was described as a rally for ObamaCare advocates, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius warned that the law's opponents are "definitely going to take their best shot." As she put it: "Over the next few months we'll see the biggest barrage of attacks and misinformation about the law we've ever seen, and that's hard to do - increase the misinformation."
Sadly, most of the misinformation about ObamaCare is coming from the Obama Administration itself.
The facts are the facts. ObamaCare represents the largest expansion of abortion funding using taxpayer funds since Roe v. Wade. And, forcing Americans to purchase a particular good or service is a fundamental assault on our liberty - an extraordinary power grab - giving Congress nearly unlimited power over our lives.
Most Americans get it. A growing number of physicians get it.
And, soon, the issue will be before the Supreme Court. That is why it is so important for you to add your name to our new amicus brief, to be filed in early February. Time is short. We need to hear from you now.
One of Justice Scalia's most memorable moments came in a compelling dissent to one of the recent ObamaCare cases. He cut through the majority opinion's ambiguous, contorted, and complex legal justification for upholding the "SCOTUScare" exchanges in just two words: " Pure applesauce. " Pondering...

Suit against zoning board's Tregub resolved after apology
The president of the Berkeley Property Owners Alliance has dropped a libel lawsuit against Igor Tregub, a former candidate for the Rent Stabilization Board and a current Zoning Adjustments Board commissioner, ending three years of controversy.
Sid Lakireddy and Tregub resolved the lawsuit after Tregub agreed to apologize for sending out an inflammatory email during the 2012 election linking Lakireddy to crimes committed by his uncle, Lakireddy Bali Reddy.
Tregub recently emailed the apology to his mailing list — to the same people who received the controversial email during the election.
"On October 18, 2012, I made a fateful mistake," Tregub wrote. "The intent of this email is to apologize to a valued member of the Berkeley community who was rightly upset by my printed words.
"In the midst of a heated campaign for reelection, I mistakenly made inaccurate accusations about the President of the Berkeley Property Owners Association, Sid Lakireddy. I wrongly connected him to crimes committed in the 1990's by one of his uncles, Lakireddy Balireddy, that had absolutely nothing to do with Sid." … Continue reading »

District 8 race a toss-up, Barry says he is still fighting for District 7, other council races settled
Nov. 9, 5:10 p.m. After several days in second place, Lori Droste has pulled into the lead in Berkeley's Council District 8. She has 1,995 votes, compared to George Beier's 1,983. Read more.
Original story, Nov. 5 While residents of District 8 may not know for days whether George Beier or Lori Droste will represent them on the Berkeley City Council, the results in two other districts are more clear-cut. But in District 7, where Councilman Kriss Worthington has the lead, his challenger Sean Barry is not willing to concede the race yet.
Jesse Arreguín won handily in District 4, as he ran unopposed.
See the latest figures in Berkeleyside's election 2014 live blog.
Linda Maio won re-election in District 1, an area she has represented for 22 years. She garnered 55.35% of the vote (1,779 votes so far) while Alejandro Soto-Vigil got 39.98% of the vote (1,285 votes). A third candidate, Merrilie Mitchell, got 4.67% of the votes (about 150 votes).
Maio, who, before Soto-Vigil, had not faced a serious challenger since she first ran for office, said she spent a lot of time walking her district. When she spoke to people she emphasized Measure D, the proposed soda tax, and left literature behind that described her accomplishments, she said.
Soto-Vigil made the environment a centerpiece of his campaign, arguing that Maio had not done enough to address the issues surrounding air quality in the district's asphalt plant, among other things. … Continue reading »
Berkeley councilman says city mishandled legal fees in Measure S redistricting lawsuit; city disagrees
Less than a week before Berkeley voters will decide whether to adopt new council district boundaries, a local official has criticized the city for how it handled legal fees for a lawsuit over the proposed council lines that are on the Nov. 4 ballot with Measure S.
It's the latest rebuke in a prolonged public battle over district lines that began in earnest last year. City officials and staff have countered that proper procedure was, in fact, followed, and that nothing inappropriate occurred.
At Tuesday night's Berkeley City Council meeting, local resident Stefan Elgstrand told officials he had been dismayed to learn about the payment by staff of $140,000 — which he said council did not approve — to lawyers who represented the city in a lawsuit related to redistricting earlier this year. Elgstrand, who was previously an intern for Councilman Kriss Worthington, authored a map last year that was rejected by council and has been among those leading the charge to have the adopted map thrown out. He's also a lead organizer in the opposition campaign against Measure S. Since Elgstrand's public comment Tuesday, Councilman Jesse Arreguín and his aide Anthony Sanchez have added their voices to the criticism, and publicly excoriated the city for how it handled the payment of the legal fees.
City officials have been working to adopt new district lines for several years, but the process has been contentious. Council adopted a new map in December, and said the boundaries had garnered widespread community approval and complied with all legal requirements. Critics of that map — including Elgstrand, Arreguín, Worthington, Phoebe Sorgen and Council 1 challenger Alejandro Soto-Vigil — then led a referendum drive to force council to rescind that map in favor of a compromise, or put the issue to the voters.
The referendum drive was successful, which suspended the use of the map council had adopted. The city then took to the courts to determine which lines should be used leading up to the November election. A judge ultimately ruled that the map council adopted should determine the districts up through Nov. 4. … Continue reading »

Michael Bloomberg has now spent $370K in support of Measure D; other Berkeley election news
Michael R. Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, contributed another $285,000 in support of the Yes on Measure D campaign in the last few days, bringing his total contribution to $370,000. More may be coming, according to Howard Wolfson, his senior aide.

Soda tax, school board race, open council seat bring campaign cash to Berkeley
The lure of an open Berkeley City Council seat has turned the race to replace Gordon Wozniak in November into a big bucks proposition.
The District 8 race for Wozniak's position, the city's proposed sugar-sweetened beverage tax on distributors and the Berkeley School Board race — with four people vying for three seats — are already bringing in significant campaign contributions as the November 2014 election approaches.

Berkeley Asphalt: New technology will reduce odors
Berkeley Asphalt plans to invest in a new manufacturing process designed to reduce emissions and odors in its West Berkeley neighborhood starting in January, officials announced recently.
Its neighbors have complained about the noise, odors, and pollution from the plant for at least 20 years, most recently in June when a group questioned whether the plant has been violating its use permit with excess odors and noise.
What the company has decided to do is convert to a new technology called "warm-mix" asphalt, which produces paving material at a lower temperature than traditional asphalt, yet performs as well on the road and releases fewer pollutants into the air, according to company officials. The decision was the result of negotiations between the company and city staff that began last year.

Rent Board commissioner Alejandro Soto-Vigil challenges 22-year incumbent Linda Maio in Berkeley's District 1
Alejandro Soto-Vigil, city Rent Board commissioner and aide to Councilman Kriss Worthington, has filed to run for Berkeley City Council in District 1. He is the sole challenger to incumbent Linda Maio, who has occupied the seat since 1992.
Soto-Vigil said he is running to burst what he calls the "bubble" of the current council.
"I think I could take the bubble out, and bridge people who are on the ground to council," said Soto-Vigil, who grew up in Richmond and graduated from UC Berkeley and the UDC David A. Clarke School of Law in Washington, D.C. "I want to know what the pulse is of the people." … Continue reading »

Berkeley asphalt plant emissions dangerous, say residents
A small group of West Berkeley homeowners gathered at City Hall on Monday this week to submit a Public Record Act request, claiming the Berkeley Asphalt & Ready Mix plant on Virginia Street has been violating its use permit by emitting excessive odors and noise.
The company, owned by Texas-based Lehigh Hanson, operates an asphalt plant at 699 Virginia St. in the Oceanview area. The group of residents, who call themselves Oceanview Neighborhood Action, say the plant is constantly emitting noxious fumes, to the point that they can't go outside or leave their windows open.
"It smells like sulfur most days, like burnt sand," said Kate Stepanski, a resident of the neighborhood. "It's making people sick and it's a public hazard — it's irresponsible." … Continue reading »
Judge plans to rule today on Berkeley redistricting lines
Update, 4:30 p.m. The judge has ruled in favor of using the council-majority-approved district lines. See his ruling here. (A more in-depth Berkeleyside story on the decision is online here.)
Original post: An Alameda County Superior Court judge is expected to rule Wednesday, April 30, about which district lines the city of Berkeley should use in the November 2014 general election.
Judge Evelio Grillo heard arguments Tuesday from advocates of some kind of compromise map that is different from the map approved by a Berkeley City Council majority in December. The city of Berkeley sued the county registrar of voters and city clerk earlier this year to find out which lines to use after the council-approved map was suspended by a referendum drive.
More than 20 people — most of them in support of a compromise map, of which there are several — attended Tuesday's hearing. They were represented primarily by Councilman Jesse Arreguín and Alejandro Soto-Vigil, along with attorneys for Councilman Kriss Worthington, Stefan Elgstrand and Phoebe Sorgen, all of whom have been named as "real parties of interest" in the lawsuit.
Attorney Margaret Prinzing, of Remcho, Johansen & Purcell, appeared for the city of Berkeley. … Continue reading »

Op-ed: We don't need a redistricting referendum
There is a campaign afoot to waste Berkeleyans' time and tax dollars.
On Dec. 17, 2013, the Berkeley City Council adopted a long-awaited redistricting map that rebalances population across Berkeley's City Council Districts. The vote came after two rounds of redistricting over the last three years, including a total of 17 community forums, public hearings, and Council meetings, as well as a voter-approved amendment to the City Charter. But now, a vocal minority is spearheading a referendum effort … Continue reading »
Tight deadline to get redistricting referendum on ballot
With only two weeks left to collect 5,275 signatures to force a city council redistricting measure on the ballot, members of the Berkeley Referendum Coalition are holding a rally on Saturday to train volunteers.
Those who are opposed to the redistricting plan approved by the City Council in December plan to meet at Mudracker's Café at 2801 Telegraph Ave. at 11 a.m. to kick off an intense weekend of voter education.
"We are training people how to get signatures," said Alejandro Soto-Vigil, an aide to City Councilman Kriss Worthington who is helping plan the campaign. "We are going to be sending teams out, generally two people per team, to certain blocks throughout the city of Berkeley, dispatching them to supermarkets, BART, and the neighborhoods that are going to be adversely affected by the redistricting."
About 45 people showed up to the first meeting on Dec. 21 and organizers hope many more will turn out this weekend, said Soto-Vigil.
The Berkeley Referendum Coalition hopes to overturn a new redistricting map that they believe creates a less progressive District 7 and which is aimed at forcing out Worthington, said Soto-Vigil. … Continue reading »

Harold James: Food for RevolutionRoundup: Historians' Take
Harold James is professor of History and International Affairs at Princeton University and professor of History at the European University Institute, Florence. He is the author of The Creation and Destruction of Value: The Globalization Cycle.
Summits are defined by their location. It is quaint that the 1933 World Economic Conference took place in the Geological Museum in London's Kensington, at a time when international cooperation seemed as alien as a fossilized dinosaur. On these criteria, Deauville, in French Normandy, with the (slightly faded) elegance of a past era of elite luxury, ostentatious consumption, and sumptuous banquets, is also perhaps not an altogether fortunate choice for the G-8 meeting.
This year, the G-8ers are talking about interesting but peripheral issues, such as the economic impact of the Internet. Worse, they are talking about important issues, like food security, in a peripheral way.
The food issue emerged for the first time as a major theme at the July 2009 summit in L'Aquila, Italy, as a response to a commodity boom that was beginning to falter, but that has since reemerged with the force of a hurricane. Now the G-8 will discuss funding for palliative measures....

Warren's Crary Gallery features 2 painting exhibits
It's a two-for-one special at the Crary Art Gallery right now; that's two shows for the price of one, and even better, the price is free.
Just because there's no admission charge at this Warren, Pa., treasure doesn't mean that what's inside isn't worth the coin. On the contrary, "Interbeing" and "Nostalgia Revisited" give two gifted artists the time and space to show what they're capable of doing and how their visions reflect two very different -- though neither is inaccurate -- realities.
It's nice that even though Jan Lutz has her own space -- the Kelly Run Gallery in Cambridge Springs -- she still finds the energy to exhibit in other locations and showcase her particular style of pensive, atmospheric watercolors and drawings throughout the region. This collection shows her at her dreamy best.
"In my figurative works, I attempt to capture a point in time in which a person exists in the context of space, mood and emotions," Lutz writes in her artist's statement. That's what "Interbeing" is all about: exploring those moments of connection between all people and things. In her words, "a single life represents all life."
In the contemplative portraits, these people are contemplating someone or something. Individuals interact with their surroundings and objects, places are altered by the actions being performed there, and by the mere fact of being interpreted by the artist.
Something similar is going on in David Higgins' oil paintings in "Nostalgia Revisited." Of course, nostalgia is a revisiting, and Higgins incorporates that same sly sense of observation within his nearly photorealistic works.
Whether it's a life-size rabbit -- or a person in a rabbit suit -- pushing a wheelbarrow, garbage bags taking center stage under the glare of a streetlight or a tire shown at varying times of day, Higgins treats all his subjects with importance and respect. Many of his paintings focus on architectural decay and the decline of our small towns -- an admirable feat.
Favorites among his offerings are the shadowboxes, frames that hold 16 small pieces that bring to life a particular time -- a frostily idyllic "January 2012," for example, or the summer pleasures to be found in "June 2007."
Higgins and Lutz have combined to make for a memorable January. Let's hope Higgins commits it to canvas for us to experience all over again.

The Flyers, losers of three straight, hope the return of veteran forward Danny Briere will give their sad-sack offense a boost Saturday afternoon in Buffalo.
Briere, concussed during a March 23 practice, has missed the last 10 games.
"I have no worries. I feel I'm ready to go," said Briere, who was on the second power-play unit at Friday's practice in Voorhees. "I'm not going to hold back. I haven't played in a couple weeks, and hopefully it won't be too much of a challenge getting my game back. But as far as the head goes, there's no worries there."

London gave the world a parachuting Queen. Chicago last night gave us Justin Timberlake in a sensible jumper reading a poem about golf, accompanied by an orchestra.
Just when we had learnt to like opening ceremonies thanks to Danny Boyle and his Olympian creativity, the Ryder Cup version reminded us of its innate blandness. This one did not even have the grace to go memorably wrong.
Timberlake — or Tumbleweed — reached for the depths with that poem in which he talked about the "torture" that golf can inflict. As he droned on, we knew the feeling.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump traded blows on a host of topics in the opening hour of the first presidential debate Monday, with Clinton pinning Trump on his refusal to release his tax returns and Trump painting Clinton as an ineffective politician with no fresh ideas. Debate moderator Lester Holt asked Trump why he's broken with tradition in not releasing his tax returns.
Campaign rivals Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will face off on Monday for the first of three general-election presidential debates, in what is predicted to be one of the most-watched moments in modern political history. And we will be there live!
Donald Trump has long bragged he can act presidential if he wants to. And, over the last month — with a few exceptions here and there — he has set aside his stream-of-consciousness politicking in favor of a more controlled message.
One of the largest audiences in the history of presidential debates — perhaps the largest ever — is expected to watch when Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump face each other for the first time on the same stage. Clinton has a debate history that includes not just her appearances with Bernie Sanders in this cycle, but her epic confrontations with Barack Obama in 2008, all the way back to her campaign for United States senator in 2000. Trump built his winning primary campaign in large measure on his performance in a dozen debates against nine or more rivals since entering the race in 2015.
Comedian Zach Galifianakis asked Hillary Clinton a series of awkward and inappropriate questions in a "Between Two Ferns" video released Thursday. Among other things, Galifianakis suggested that Clinton, a former secretary of state, had fetched coffee for President Obama. Are we going to be stuck with Tim Kaine for nine months?
"Donald Trump is counterfactual, ahistoric — in other words, he persistently lies and has no appreciation of history," Booker said. Trump's name came up again in the discussion when it turned to the weekend bombings in New York and New Jersey, and the subsequent arrest of suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami. After Rahami was apprehended, Trump said police forces "know who a lot of these people are.
The younger Trump sparked outrage when he shared an image asking people if they'd eat Skittles if some were poisonous. "That's our Syrian refugee problem," his image concluded.
Ahmad Khan Rahami, the 28-year-old suspect in the bombings in New York City and New Jersey over the weekend, was taken into custody after a shootout with police in Linden, N.J., on Monday morning, officials said. ABC's New York affiliate captured images of the Rahami as he was taken away from the scene in an ambulance. • His last known address was in Elizabeth, N.J., where five explosive devices were found at a train station on Sunday night.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told a crowd at a rally that a "bomb" went off in New York City before any confirmation came from official sources about what caused an explosion in Manhattan on Saturday night. "I must tell you that just before I got off the plane, a bomb went off in New York. About two hours later, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a press conference that the explosion on 23rd Street appeared to be the result of an "intentional" act and that there was no indication it was linked to terrorism.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban offered Donald Trump an unusual deal on Friday: $10 million in exchange for a four-hour interview. In a series of tweets, Cuban initially said Trump could have the money go to the charity of his choice. The billionaire "Shark Tank" star, who frequently taunts Trump on Twitter, issued the offer hours after Trump slammed him in a Fox Business interview Friday morning.
President Obama on Friday scolded the news media for asking about Donald Trump's latest flirtation with the racist "birther" movement the GOP nominee has long championed, telling reporters to focus on "more serious issues" in the 2016 race for the White House. Obama's comments came after Trump, who for years was a proponent of the discredited racist theory that the nation's first black president was not born in the United States and may therefore be in office illegitimately, refused to say in a new story, published late Thursday, whether he had changed his mind. Obama spoke to the media at a White House meeting designed to shore up weak support in Congress for the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement.
A new bipartisan report by the House Intelligence Committee depicts former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden as a "serial exaggerator and fabricator" who only began downloading highly classified documents after being reprimanded over a "workplace spat" with his bosses. The highly damning report, which accuses Snowden of doing "tremendous damage to national security," was released by the committee late Thursday — the day before the release of a new Oliver Stone movie about the case that portrays its subject as a courageous whistleblower who exposed frightening and illegal surveillance by the U.S. government. It also comes the same week that Snowden's supporters mounted a public campaign to win him a pardon from President Obama, allowing him to return from Moscow without facing a criminal prosecution that could result in years behind bars.
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Back on the campaign trail, a reflective Hillary Clinton said Thursday her three-day, doctor-mandated break gave her new perspective on why she's running to be president. She vowed to close her campaign against Donald Trump by giving Americans "something to vote for, not just against."
Donald Trump Jr. addresses the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, July 19, 2016. "Without the media, this wouldn't even be a contest, but the media has built her up," Trump Jr. said in a radio interview on Thursday, according to CBS Philadelphia. "They've let her slide on every [discrepancy], on every lie, on every DNC game trying to get Bernie Sanders out of this thing.
Ivanka Trump abruptly ended an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine about Donald Trump's new maternity-leave policy on Wednesday after fielding questions she felt were "unfair" about her father's record with women. According to a transcript published by the magazine, Ivanka bristled at Cosmopolitan senior writer Prachi Gupta's line of questioning. "In 2004, Donald Trump said that pregnancy is an inconvenient thing for a business," Gupta said.
In an interview that aired Thursday morning, Hillary Clinton declined to respond to Colin Powell's criticism of her in personal emails recently leaked to the public. "I have a great deal of respect for Colin Powell, and I have a lot of sympathy for anyone whose emails become public. In the leaked emails, Powell said "everything H.R.C. touches she kind of screws up with hubris," referring to the Democratic nominee by her initials.
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd cited the United States' wars in the Middle East, financial collapse and trade deals as the root cause of some Trump supporters' anger. "I would just like to say these voters who are angry have something to be angry about," said Dowd in a Wednesday interview with Yahoo News' Bianna Golodryga. Dowd also speculated on how Trump, who longtime acquaintances she interviewed never described as racist, ended up with supporters with such negative views of minorities.
Trump will appear on "The Dr. Oz Show" on Thursday. When Donald Trump appears on "The Dr. Oz Show" on Thursday, the Republican nominee will reveal "his own personal health regimen," according to a press release. Just don't expect him to reveal the results of his recent physical — and don't expect any probing from Dr. Mehmet Oz, the show's host.
U.S. soldier Chelsea Manning, serving a 35-year prison term for passing classified files to WikiLeaks, ended her hunger strike on Tuesday after the Army said she would be allowed to receive gender transition surgery, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said. Manning's treatment will begin with the surgery that was recommended by her psychologist in April, the ACLU, which represented Manning, said in a statement. Manning is held in Kansas.
Obama didn't mention Clinton's bout of pneumonia, which has kept her off the campaign trail and has spurred accusations — including by David Axelrod, a former top advisor to Obama — that she hasn't been frank about her health. Speaking in Philadelphia — where Democratic turnout will be crucial for Clinton's chances of carrying Pennsylvania in the election — Obama argued that Clinton has been more transparent than Trump, pointing out that she has released decades' worth of tax returns while Trump has refused to release any.
Donald Trump condemned Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" comment, saying it disqualifies her from seeking the presidency.
At the 2015 Values Voter Summit, the annual gathering of conservative Christians held in Washington, D.C., Donald Trump finished a distant fifth place in the straw poll vote of GOP candidates — far behind overwhelming favorite Ted Cruz, as well as Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee and Marco Rubio. On Thursday, he returned to the confab hosted by the Family Research Council, but now as the Republican presidential nominee and the event's main attraction.
Donald Trump's charitable foundation gave $100,000 in 2014 to a conservative activist group that was used to help finance a federal lawsuit against New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman — the same public official who was suing the real estate mogul for fraud over the operations of Trump University. The size and timing of the donation to the Citizens United Foundation, an arm of the sprawling conservative network run by David Bossie, who is now Trump's deputy campaign manager, could raise fresh questions about whether Trump has used his tax-exempt charity to further political and personal causes. It is a claim, actively promoted by Hillary Clinton's campaign, that got new attention this week after Trump's foundation acknowledged paying a penalty to the IRS for an improper $25,000 donation to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's reelection campaign during a time her office was considering whether to join Schneiderman's lawsuit against Trump University.
Donald Trump didn't realize his Thursday interview with Larry King would be on a Russian state-run television network, his campaign subsequently claimed. "What Larry King does with the interview content is up to him. The GOP nominee's appearance on RT, the Moscow-based media organization previously known as Russia Today, drew immediate scrutiny as the station is used to back the Kremlin's messaging efforts.
The "Today" show host was pummeled by critics who said he spent too much time on Hillary Clinton's emails, cut her responses short, and lobbed Donald Trump softball questions without challenging him on his past statements.

Moose Hunters Had a Successful Season
Vermont moose hunters had a successful October 18–23 hunting season according to the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department.
"A preliminary tally of results shows hunters took 297 moose with 440 hunting permits issued by lottery this year," said Vermont Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Wayne Laroche. "That's a 68 percent success rate, up from the 61 percent we saw the year before.
"Most importantly," Laroche added, "Vermont's moose population is being managed scientifically, according to a management plan developed on sound wildlife biology and input from the public. The moose population has been expanding in much of the state, while providing outdoor opportunities through hunting and wildlife watching."
Hunting season weather was favorable during most of the six-day season according to Cedric Alexander, Vermont's lead wildlife biologist on the moose project.
"Weather was excellent for hunting on opening morning and the rest of the season except for Tuesday, when there was a heavy rain throughout the morning," said Alexander. "Otherwise, most days were cool and overcast, and there was little to no wind on opening weekend. Hunters in northern Vermont had tracking snow at higher elevations on Wednesday and more widespread snow on Thursday."
The biggest moose weighed 908 pounds dressed and was shot by one of the youngest hunters, 14-year old Cassandra Hamwey of South Royalton while she was hunting with her cousin and uncle in Lemington. The antlers on Cassandra's moose measured 63 inches wide with 19 points.
This was Vermont's eleventh moose hunting season in modern times, the first occurring in 1993 when 30 permits were issued and 25 moose were taken by hunters. Vermont's heaviest moose weighed 1,040 pounds and was taken in 1996 by Steve Hunn of Craftsbury while he was hunting in Brighton.
Alexander reports that 10,006 residents and 1,397 nonresidents entered Vermont's moose permit lottery this year, one successful hunter coming from as far away as Kansas. Vermont's moose population now numbers 4,000 to 5,000 animals with moose found almost statewide.

Reflections of Newly Promoted and Tenured Faculty
Sixty-six UNT faculty members will begin the next academic year with a promotion in rank, newly granted tenure, or both. Read below to hear about what our talented scholars have to say about their career milestone.
Claudia Queen, Associate Professor of Dance and Theatre, feels lucky to be rewarded for doing something she loves. "My creative research as a composer, musician and educator is in the field of music for dance. Nationally, there are only a handful of educators who have had the opportunity to attain tenure and promotion to associate professor in my field," says Queen. "Not only can music for dance provide peak artistic experiences for audiences and performers, it also has the ability to promote physical and emotional health and longevity. Thus, I am so very grateful to UNT and to the Department of Dance & Theatre for their continuing support of this important field and the arts in general."
For UNT Librarians, promotion to 'Librarian' is the highest rank one can achieve in their discipline. Individuals must have a substantial and sustained record in scholarly, creative, and professional activities and demonstrate significant leadership to a department or division. Sian Brannon, who was recently promoted to Librarian validates the rigor of the promotion process. "Promotions are not handed out willy-nilly; they are earned through determination and elbow grease. That dedication makes UNT look good. I am proud to join the highest rank of faculty/librarian and look forward to helping others achieve that goal as well."
Like most research universities, outstanding dossiers strengthen a candidate's likelihood for promotion and tenure. Olga Velikanova, Associate Professor of History, credits her new book, Popular Perceptions of Soviet Politics in the 1920s: Disenchantment of the Dreamers, published in January 2013, with her earlier publications on popular interpretations of Soviet politics for her promotion and tenure. Velikanova describes her new work as "the first study of popular opinions in post-revolutionary Russia which is based on recently declassified documentation of security police and Communist party surveillance on the population, extracts from private letters, diaries, British Foreign Office reports and talks leaked by secret police informants. "This volume argues that in the post-revolutionary decade the Bolsheviks failed to reach a national consensus and unite the nation around the aim of socialist construction. "This work contributes to the current major historiographical debate on the origins and social roots of Stalinism," says Velikanova.
Masood Raja, Associate Professor in English, credits his tenure success to his work on issues of international significance and the receipt of a $1 million Department of State grant to build a partnership between UNT and National University of Modern Languages in Pakistan. He says, "the partnership is now fully operational and will directly contribute to all of UNT goals and enhance our national and international reputation."
Beyond tenure and promotion, what's next? Many faculty will launch a new research stream, others will write a book. For our teaching faculty, they may develop a new online course or focus on program development. Diane DeSimone, Senior Lecturer in Engineering Technology says, "I believe my goals for the next chapter are to find ways to help grow the program in both the number of students in Engineering Technology and to increase the number of companies participating with the program." Thanks to faculty like DeSimone, UNT is one step closer to reaching our Four Bold Goals.
UNT's newly promoted faculty will be recognized this fall at the Salute to Faculty Excellence Awards Dinner and Ceremony which will be held at Apogee Stadium on September 27, 2013.
Faculty Spotlight highlights UNT faculty members throughout the academic year. Each spotlight includes the research interests, scholarly accomplishments, student support activities and other academic achievements by the highlighted faculty member.
