The daylong event is Dec. 15 in San Francisco. Interested in attending? Here are details, and here's where you can register. The cost ranges from $0-$15 depending on the ability to pay.
From the press release:
The 2012 Youth Empowerment Summit will offer 45 workshops, including: "LGBTQ Students: Know Your Rights;" "Opening the Locker Room Closet;" and "Coming Out Against Push Out." The keynote panel will feature youth voices discussing the school-to-prison pipeline, a set of policies and practices used by school districts that indirectly push out or exclude youth of color, LGBT youth, low-income youth, and youth with disabilities. Last year's Youth Empowerment Summit drew more than 500 participants.
"Youth from across the state have seen the devastating effects of a school system that educates some students while punishing others for how they dress, act, or look," said Carolyn Laub, Founder and Executive Director of Gay-Straight Alliance Network.
That's why hundreds of LGBT and straight ally youth are coming to the 2012 Youth Empowerment Summit, where they can find the tools they need to organize their Gay-Straight Alliance clubs to advocate for safer schools for all youth struggling against oppression and discrimination.

Menudo band member Carlos Olivero was escorted by security off a Delta flight in Atlanta after refusing to put away his iPod, PEOPLE has learned.
The 18-year-old heartthrob, his mother, and his bandmates were on flight 4483 on July 4 as it prepared to leave for Knoxville, Tenn., when Olivero was told to leave the plane, a source says.
"A flight attendant accused Carlos of having an attitude after she asked him to turn off his iPod in preparation for takeoff," the source says. "Carlos complied and turned his iPod off, but the flight attendant then demanded he stow it. Carlos showed her again that the iPod was turned off, but he refused to stow it."
A Delta airlines security team was summoned and escorted him and his mother off the plane, the source says. His bandmates, the Menudo tech crew and management also left the plane, the source says.
The five-member group boarded another flight, but without their tech crew since there weren't enough seats. After they arrived in Knoxville for the Star 102.1 FM Festival, they performed songs from their upcoming album out Sept. 30, including the hit "Lost," in front of 75,000 fans, but the group improvised.
"When they finally took to the stage in Knoxville, they realized some of their borrowed tech equipment didn't operate properly, so they ended up performing a cappella midway through the set."
A rep for Menudo tells PEOPLE, "We can confirm there was an incident on the Delta flight. The members of Menudo are on a plane nearly every day flying from one concert appearance to another so this took us totally by surprise. We've never had a problem before."
A Delta rep wasn't immediately available for comment.

This review is from: WD Re 1TB Datacenter Capacity Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 inch WD1003FBYZ
Pros: Great r/w speeds on a full SATA III bus.
Cons: Loud clicking, like a typical Seagate drive has. Not that big of a deal but very noticeable with a quiet case.
I thought there was something wrong with them but I've ran UX twice and PC Doc twice, no issues. Just a clickity clackity hard drive.
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-A76 Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Pros: Minimalist design. I cannot stress enough how great it is that this case exists just for the fact that it doesn't have multiple colors and weird angles.
The hard drive bays are situated perfectly and if you pair this with the 2 or 3 slot hot swap backplane this case has very handy features.
There are plenty of fans, and plenty of places for more!
Cons: Front heavy - but gets balanced out when you populate it.
Could stand to use some wheels/castors rather than just foot pucks.
Should be a way to use the included screens in the open fan slots without installing a fan. Top ventilation would be nice, but I don't want fans on top.
Other Thoughts: I'm not sure what other user's are talking about when they mention the build quality or the issue with the screws. The screws that were included with mine were aluminum and soft, but they did not strip out as easily as other's have claimed that they did.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: iBUYPOWER Desktop PC Gamer Extreme 968i Intel Core i7 920 (2.66 GHz) 3 GB DDR3 500 GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
Pros: Great hardware for the price.
Cons: Graphics is a little weak, but does the trick just fine. Plays everything I throw at it. I'm not much of a gamer, so this would really only be a con for hardcore gaming fanatics.
Other Thoughts: For every experiencing blue screens. The case this computer originally came in is not designed for this CPU. The heat buildup inside the case was awful. Removing the side panel helped a little, but I suggest an Antec 900 or equivalent paired with a much better CPU fan. I did that, without liquid cooling, and I get very nice temps.READ FULL REVIEW

New Battle for Roy Jones
By Rick Reeno
Roy Jones Jr. is looking towards a new battle, but this battle will not take place in a Boxing ring. Roy Jones is looking to battle his way to the top of the music industry. Jones recently spoke with MTV and told them that he is so focused on his work in the music industry, he may never get back in the ring again. Jones has been knocked out in his last two fights. The two men who defeated Jones, Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver, face off on December 18th, 2004 on HBO.
Roy Jones recently put out a compilation LP called Body Head Bangerz Volume One on his label Body Head Entertainment. Jones said that he is already a mega-star, now he wants to make the artists on his label stars as well. Jones' love for the ring has been replaced by his love for making music.
"I've made enough and had enough fun boxing to where I don't wake up and have the same inspiration I have about music now," said Jones.
"Now I'm more focused on music. I have a new battle. You can't be not wholeheartedly in boxing and try to do it. When I used to do it, I used to do it like it like it was my lifeline. Now I don't want to eat no more like that."
"I want to see artists from Body Head become superstars,"
"When I do that, I'll be satisfied with this. But I'm not gonna be satisfied until I do that. I'mma just chill out for a bit till I feel I might love [boxing] again or I get mad and feel I want to kick one of their behinds. It ain't hard for me, I been doing it for 20 years."

|Origanum (1)
The dittany of Crete is widely used for food flavouring and medicinal purposes, in addition to it featuring as an ornamental plant in gardens (3). This small, lanate shrub is easily recognised by the distinctive soft, woolly covering of white-grey hair on its stems and round green leaves (4) (5), giving it a velvety texture (6). Tiny rose-pink flowers surrounded by brighter purple-pink bracts add an exuberant splash of colour to the plant in summer and autumn (7) (8).
Native to the mountains of Crete, Greece (6).
Shady rocks in dry places in high mountains (3).
Classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Plant Species 1997 (1).
The dittany of Crete is frequently used for food flavouring, medicinal purposes and decoration (3). Although widely cultivated for these purposes, this plant is also taken from the wild. The exact extent of harvesting from the wild is unknown, but the species is thought to be threatened from over exploitation (11).
There are currently no conservation measures targeting this species.

Free Yourself, Be Yourself (Book)
Isn't it time you shed performance-based living? When Alan Wright's childhood family collapsed, he took the blame. As a wounded fourth grader, Alan secretly wondered, What's wrong with me?

Zoning and Land Use Planning: Plans are Not Enough
Michael Lewyn
Touro College - Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center; University of Pittsburgh - School of Law
42 Real Estate L.J. 240 (2013)
Touro Law Center Legal Studies Research Paper Series No. 14-37
Some commentators describe comprehensive land use planning as a potential remedy for suburban sprawl. But in fact, states that require municipal comprehensive plans can be just as automobile-oriented as more permissive states. Why is this the case? Because like zoning codes, municipal comprehensive plans often favor low-density single-use development, wide streets and other factors that encourage automobile-dependent development.

Targa is private, backed by Waburg Pincus, management owns a portion as well, I suspect a public entrance is inevitable to allow WB to exit at the top and management would most likely turn to the MLP/GP structure, or the LLC structure chosen by Copano. Just guesses on my part.

Houston Texans' Linebacker, Sharpton, Fined
The Texans didn?t have much go right for them after halftime against the Seahawks in Week Four and the hits have kept on coming even after an overtime field goal sent them home losers.
Coach Gary Kubiak said Wednesday that linebacker Darryl Sharpton has been fined by the league for a horse-collar tackle during the game. Sharpton brought down Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch by the back of the shoulder pads and was penalized on the field, which meant Kubiak was expecting to hear that the linebacker owed some money.
?Usually if you get an unnecessary roughness play, there?s like an immediate fine that you have to appeal, unless they think it?s a missed call,? Kubiak said, via the Houston Chronicle.

CANADIAN puncher Eric Martel Bahoeli believes his speed will be telling against Lucas Browne in Sheffield this Saturday night (April 26).
The Quebec-native takes on the hard-hitting Aussie for the vacant Commonwealth heavyweight title at the Ponds Forge Arena and is very confident of victory.
Bookies have made Browne a heavy favourite, but Bahoeli is used to upsetting the odds. Last November he was given little chance of success against compatriot Didier Bence and ended up snapping the highly touted prospect's unbeaten record with a second round TKO.
"I think I will cause another upset," Bahoeli, 10-3 (7 KOs), said. "I know he [Browne]
is a hard puncher because he has a good record, but I think I'm too fast for him.
"He's a very tough guy and so am I so I expect a hard fight, but I think my chances are much better than people are saying.
"I've had 11 weeks of training for this fight, which is more than I've had for any other fight, and I think Browne will be surprised by how fast and strong I am."
With 24 knockouts between them, many are expecting the fight to be a rough and tumble affair that ends with a devastating knockout in the early rounds.
But Bahoeli, who by day works with disadvantaged children in a juvenile centre, says he has prepared for a long night.
"This is heavyweight boxing and one punch can end a fight, but I'm more than ready for 12 rounds," he said.
"I've worked very hard in the gym, I'm in shape and if I have to go all 12 rounds with Browne, then that's what I will do."
The chief supporting contest for Saturday's bill sees France's European bantamweight champion Karim Guerfi face his mandatory challenger Zhanat Zhakiyanov, Sheffield's own Adam Etches faces Felipe De La Paz Teniente for the vacant WBC youth middleweight crown.
Also starring will be Ricky Hatton-trained prospects Adam Little and Kirill Relikh along with Scott Jenkins, Leo D'Erlanger, Kash Ali and Dave Howe.
Ticket prices are priced at £35 (General Admission), £55 (Reserved Floor Seats), £75 (Ringside) and £100 (VIP Ringside). They can be purchased from 07747 474701.
The show is being televised in the UK by BoxNation (Sky Ch.437 HD 490 and Virgin 546), in France via L'Equipe 21 TV and in Australia (Foxtel Ch.511), Pacific regions and Asia on Eurosport.

The International Monetary Fund said this evening that it had approved a 'precautionary' credit line of $20.58 billion to help Poland boost its reserves and weather the global economic crisis.
The arrangement for Poland is the second IMF commitment after Mexico under the Fund's 'flexible credit line' created in March to help nations cope with the current financial turmoil that had slammed the brakes on growth.
'The Polish authorities intend to treat the arrangement as precautionary, which means that they do not intend to draw' from the credit line, an IMF statement said.
The IMF said that 'despite very strong fundamentals, Poland's economy is now facing the risk of spillovers from the global crisis through both the real and financial sector channels.'
It said the country's exports had contracted and economic activity had slowed in early 2009, reflecting a deep recession in its main trading partners.
'A sharp slowdown in credit growth is underway as banks have begun to tighten credit criteria. Nonetheless, Poland has maintained access to international capital markets,' it added.
The IMF said that Polish authorities had responded 'in a timely and effective manner' to the global downturn.
Poland last sought IMF help through a stand-by loan arrangement that expired in March 1996.
Poland's finance ministry has estimated the country's economic growth in 2009 to be between 0.3-2% but the European Commission predicted the Polish economy will shrink by 1.4% this year.
The European Commission had previously forecast 2% growth for the largest 2004 EU entrant.

Meteos Wars and PowerUp Forever Hit Xbox Live Arcade on Wednesday
Two new $10 games try to make their mark on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday.
Two new games are set to release on the Xbox Live Arcade this week for 800 Microsoft points ($10) a piece: Q Entertainment's Meteos Wars and Namco Bandai's PowerUp Forever. DS owners might remember Meteos as the wicked-awesome puzzle game that released early in the system's life. Online support for two players should make this an instant hit with fans of the original. Puzzle fans looking to move on from another of Q's games that has made its way to XBLA, Lumines, will definitely want to give the game a try, too.
PowerUp Forever is a shooter that uses a lot of fancy terms to reel prospective customers in, like "procedurally generated environments" and "innovative growth mechanic." What you can expect to get is a rather pretty overhead shooter that promises to offer up a different experience each time you play, with both environments and enemies being generated on the fly. The genre is hardly lacking games on Xbox Live Arcade, so we'll see if PowerUp can manage to make a dent in the turf of Geometry Wars 2 and Ikaruga. In the meantime, check out our E3 preview for more on what you can expect from the game.

As much as I love Meteos...Posted: Dec 09, 2008 12:00AM PST by Serraxor
...I don't really have faith in a version that doesn't have the right interace. Plying with the controller issn't ging to be anywhere near as smoth as the DS' Touch Screen, or even the Wii Remote. Would have been a better fit on WiiWare... It's still a must-buy though, looks great.
Meteos = One of the best puzzlers everPosted: Dec 08, 2008 12:00AM PST by illmyke
I absolutely love Meteos and still play it. It is, in my opinion, superior to Lumines and one of my favorite puzzlers ever. My only concern is how Meteos will play with a controller. Meteos gets very fast paced, and I have a hard time imagining keeping up with the fast paced nature of the game without the stylus.

Rodgers practiced on Tuesday but McCarthy actually lessened Rodgers' chances of playing in a must-win Thanksgiving game against the Lions.
"Closer to 'none,'" McCarthy said. "It's something to write about. I'm trying to help you out – the drama BS that you guys need. So, there it is."
That doesn't mean it wasn't a good day for Rodgers, getting his first onfield work since sustaining a broken collarbone against Chicago on Nov. 4 – 22 days ago.
"Aaron Rodgers went through the individual drills and was a limited participant as far as our jog-through practice," McCarthy said. "It does not look like Aaron is going to make it. He had a good day. This was a big day actually for him as far as doing throwing and doing some of the things the targets that the training staff wanted to hit with him, they definitely hit it. So, he feels good but I don't think he's going to make it this week."
While it doesn't sound like Rodgers is going to play, Lions coach Jim Schwartz certainly isn't going to rule it out while developing his game plan.
"We've played Aaron Rodgers enough times that we have an idea of what he can do," Schwartz said during his conference call. "He's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. We certainly have a lot of respect for him. The kind of competitor that he is, if there's any kind of slim chance – I know Coach McCarthy labeled it 'slim and none,' but 'slim' still sounds like something. If there's any way that he can be out there, we know the competitor that he is, so we'll be ready for him."
As are all decisions involving injured players, this one won't be made by Rodgers or McCarthy, and the importance of this game won't take precedence over the possibility of a more severe injury should Rodgers not be fully healed.
"It's a conversation that's been had," McCarthy said. "You know, hey, I clearly understand Aaron's role and responsibility here but this is a medical decision. He's not quite ready but he did have good day today. He feels very good about what he accomplished today."
McCarthy said Matt Flynn took the "starter" reps during Tuesday's practice.
"That's where we are," McCarthy said. "Business as usual. Next man up. Getting ready to go."

A week into bowl season, we have already seen some dynamic football being played. As the bowl season continues, we will see more breakout players, particularly in the running back department.
With rushing quarterbacks in Cam Newton and Denard Robinson making plays, some running backs seem to be flying under the radar. Yes, we all know about LaMichael James, but what of Jordan Todman, or Daniel Thomas? These and others will be ranked as we go through the 70 main running backs in the bowl games.

Driver of ideas, nfpSynergy
Joe Saxton is driver of ideas at nfpSynergy, an organisation which conducts market research on behalf of the non-profit sector.
He first became involved with the sector at the age of 14 by volunteering for Save the Whales and got his first paid role as a co-ordinator for the Harambee Centre for Development and Education, Cambridge, before joining Oxfam as a fundraiser in 1988.
In the early 90s he divided his time between the charity sector and the private sector, as a trustee for the RSPCA and an account director at marketing agency EHS Brann. In 1997, the RNID hired Saxton to be its director of communications. He finished there in 2000, and moved on to the Future Foundation, a think-tank that specialises in consumer and business trends.
In 2003, he launched nfpSynergy as a subsidiary of the Future Foundation, and later led a management buyout.
From 2005 to 2008 Saxton chaired the Institute of Fundraising and since 2005 he has been chair of student campaign body People & Planet. In 2007 he founded CharityComms, a membership body for communications professionals working in the sector. He is also a member of the Office of the Third Sector Advisory Group.
Saxton has a zoology degree and a Masters in development from UEA.
He has published a number of books; Its Competition, But Not As We Know It? (1997), What Are Charities For? (1998), Polishing the Diamond (2002), Mission Impossible (2004), The 21st Century Volunteer (2005), The 21st Century Donor (2007).

Our View: Keep guns out of Perry Square
Abide by a city of Erie ordinance and keep your guns out of Perry Square. That's our advice to Justin Dillon, organizer of a June 22 gun rally at the Perry Square gazebo.
Dillon asked Erie City Council members to support his plan to allow rally participants to carry loaded weapons. "It's an unenforceable ordinance," Dillon said at the May 15 council meeting.
Dillon was referring to this city law: "No person in a park shall hunt, trap or pursue wildlife at any time. No person shall use, carry or possess firearms of any descriptions, or air rifles, ... bow and arrows, slings, paint ball weapons or any other forms of weapons potentially inimical to wildlife and dangerous to human safety, or any instrument that can be loaded with and fire blank cartridges, or any kind of trapping device."
Dillon is armed with one interpretation of the law to support his position -- from David Rocco, coordinator of special events and licensing for the city of Erie. When Dillon applied for a permit to use Perry Square on Feb. 23 for a national "Day of Resistance" rally against gun control laws, Rocco said that Erie's ordinance only applied to hunting.
City Solicitor Greg Karle said then that he was not aware of the rally. We certainly hope that Karle, Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin and Erie Mayor Joe Sinnott followed up to see why Rocco was allowed to interpret the city ordinance in a way that allowed participants at the February rally to openly display handguns, rifles and assault-style rifles.
Dillon and his cohorts have the right to stage a rally to express their opinions on gun laws, but they don't have a right to risk public safety by bringing loaded weapons to a public park. The February rally attracted a sparse crowd of about 100, but it took place on a nippy winter day. How many more people with guns might congregate in the heart of Erie's downtown on June 22, the second day of summer, just as our tourism season is ramping up?
Dillon, the founder of Open Carry Pennsylvania, either doesn't know that gun violence is a frightening worry in Erie or he is callous about the toll that gun violence is taking on victims, neighborhoods and the city of Erie's image.
No one is trying to wrest away Dillon's right to own guns. No one is trying to stop him from hunting. No one is preventing him from carrying a gun in self-defense. But even some supporters of gun rights questioned Dillon about his previous rally.
"It seems incredibly inappropriate," Douglas Boldt said when Dillon urged protesters to bring loaded, high-powered weapons to the February rally. Boldt predicted that the guns would only succeed in "scaring the public."
In a March 3 letter to the editor, Boldt reiterated his opposition to Dillon's style of protest. "High-powered, military-style weapons do not belong in downtown Erie," he wrote. We hope that Boldt has some sway with Dillon. After all, Boldt helped to organize a Jan. 30 gun-rights forum at Bob's Gun Shop & Indoor Gun Range in McKean Township.

Miguel Batista has been the Diamondbacks ace since the double injury. The D-backs have won Batista's last 5 starts (him only taking 3 of them). Felipe Alou may have a problem though: while Neifi Perez has a .462 average against Batista, Rich Aurilia has 2 homeruns and 5 RBI's, the most on the team against Batista in either category.
Saturday's game sees Jerome Williams pitching against Curt Schilling. Williams has been the man since he re-emerged as Kurt Ainsworth's replacement, 4 straight wins against 2 great teams (Oakland, St. Louis) with 2 complete games. Williams has never met the D-backs on the mound, but when he's not mowing down 7 at the plate, he's drawing 10+ ground balls. It will be interesting to see how Williams does in the Questec ballpark that is the BOB and whether that will hinder his pitching.
Schilling on the comeback will be looking to remedy the 4-3 record with 3.04 ERA, atrotious considering the pitcher. His losses this year include San Diego (before they were hot), Colorado (while they were hot) and Milwaukee (who are never hot), which is just slight of pathetic. So look for him to pitch with a vengeance. If he gives any pitch away, I'll be shocked and amazed. This man isn't afraid of Questec and will shoot the corners, beware!
Finally, Jim Brower meets AZ's answer to Jerome Williams, Brandon Webb on the final game before the break. Brower has earned his spot on the Giants starting 5, being durable and diligent in his bullpen starts and replacing Damian Moss well in the start against St. Louis and Kirk Rueter when he was injured in the second inning against the same team. Brower will be going on only 3 days rest, which may be a factor as he does slow down with heavy use. I'd expect maybe a early replacement by Chad Zerbe or Joe Nathan, depending on how Alou uses him in the Schmidt/Williams games.'
Brandon Webb laid the smack down against Colorado in his last two starts, giving up only 1 run in 7 innings inColorado and 3 against them at the BOB. He has the lowest ERA in the NL and trails only Schmidt in WHIP- great numbers for a rookie. He's never faced the Giants, but he's pitched well against hard- hitting teams like Atlanta and Houston.
Despite the sweep in Colorado, look for the Giants to gain a second wind in this crazy stretch of games and take 2 of 3. The Giants need to stay ahead of the D-backs- I can't stress that enough. Edgardo Alfonso will need to be a player. The shortstop, whichever plays will need to be on. Benito Santiago and Yorvit Torrealba will need to watch the strike zone. Good luck boys!

That Facebook thing: 10 books that stayed with me
My friend Dave Roidt tagged me on a Facebook thing that's going around: 'list 10 books that have stayed with me in some way." For you Dave, I will comply.
Actually, I'm happy to do it. I enjoy reading these things when other people do them. I like to find out what people actually read for pleasure and inspiration, as opposed to what books they feel obliged to serve up in a canon-making exercise. »Read Full Blog Post

Juan Manuel Marquez To Fight On, April Return in Play
By Miguel Rivera & Ernesto Castellanos, notifight.com
According to sources in Mexico, Juan Manuel Marquez (55-6-1, 40KOs) will continue his career in 2013. Following December's sixth round knockout of Manny Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38KOs), Marquez was under a lot of pressure, as the boxer's wife wanted him to retire. Marquez, 39-years-old, took a long vacation with his family and a final decision was made to continue.
A good source indicates that Marquez held a recent meeting with promoter Fernando Beltran of Zanfer Promotions and they agreed to a ring return in April - either on April 13 or April 20 - and the two potential opponents being mentioned are Jessie Vargas (21-0, 9KOs) and Vyacheslav Senchenko (33-1, 22KOs). Vargas, according to sources, is said to be the favorite, among those two names, to land the match. Pacquiao will also take an interim fight in April - and then both superstars would come together for a fifth battle in September.
The location and venue of the April fight is still a mystery. The fight could take place in the United States or the Mexican icon could return to Mexico City, where he defeated Sergey Fedchenko last year.
[QUOTE=-Kev-;12916898]They are as good as it can get for a tune up. They're also legit 140-147 pounders while i'm not convinced Marquez is even a full fledged JWW. I still see him as a LW. His two wins over Pacquiao…Comment by lilducer22 on 01-14-2013

On Monday morning, NBC's Today and correspondent Ron Allen omitted any mention to viewers that Vietnam remains a authoritarian, communist regime as it welcomed President Barack Obama on the first stop of his week-long Asia tour.
Bionic Woman
On PBS's Web site today, ombudsman Michael Getler writes of complaints over an incident during last Sunday's pledge drive. He describes the cheap shot taken by actor Mike Farrell against vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin:
According to Joseph Campbell, vice president of fundraising programs, here's what happened:
On The Situation Room today, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer made a surprising admission to, of all people, real estate entrepreneur Donald Trump:
On CNN's American Morning today, White House correspondent Suzanne Malveaux reported on Barack Obama's campaigning in Virginia. Afterwards, anchor Kiran Chetry had a question:
CHETRY: All right. And Suzanne, what's on tap for the campaign today? And please tell me it's not lipstick again.
MALVEAUX: Let's hope not. He's going to be in Norfolk, Virginia. That is in southeast Virginia, and it's home to the world's largest Naval base. It's one of the most competitive areas that the Democrats and Republicans are fighting over. It's a critical piece of property, piece of land there with folks in Virginia, and they want those voters.
In between cyborg fights, NBC's new sci-fi show "Bionic Woman" flattered Hillary Clinton with an awkward and artificial reference to her prowess at getting to the bottom of an injustice.
In the October 10 episode "Sisterhood," the latest Bionic Woman, Jaime Sommers, portrayed by Michelle Ryan, discovered there is a constant video feed in her recently implanted bionic eye, and as the character groused about the invasion of her privacy, the writers slipped in a little stilted praise for Clinton.
Writing for the September 9 Style & Arts section, Washington Post staff writer Jonathan Padget found a queer angle on an upcoming NBC action drama. The ratings-challenged network is remaking the 1970s "Bionic Woman" sci-fi series.

Anyone have any recommendations for starter lighting kits? I'm thinking of something with an extra-long TTL cable, a flash stand, a large diffuser, ???
Off-camera flash lighting equipment
I love my Alien Bee strobes! I have the B800s, but honestly, with what I shoot, the B400s would probably have been plenty.
I also have a beauty dish and a soft box that I really love - all from the Alien Bee company.
Best of luck!
From what I remember, the Alien Bees are a bit expensive, but I will take a look!
I remember looking into strobes right before getting the MarkIII. Hubby wanted to get me all set up with studio equipment along with the new camera, but I just couldn't justify it at the time. Let me know what you decide on getting (if any), and I'd love to see your practice images with it!!!
I think I'm going to go with a set up to use my speedlight on a light stand with an umbrella and a long PC cable, as they explain in this article: Strobist: Lighting 101 - A Beginner's Lighting Kit. It's the most inexpensive way to start with stuff like this, apparently.
I'm pretty inclined to use natural light most of the time, but there are times when I've seen what beautiful, dramatic images you can get with just one OCF, and of course it gives you flexibility in many situations too, if you have a light set-up in your bag of tricks. Not that I'm going pro! But if I can get a setup like this for $100-$150 and play with it and have that versatility, I'd just love it.

Video: Geico Skytypers cruise over Lake Michigan before Milwaukee Air & Water Show
I had never truly appreciated Milwaukee's lakefront until I sailed over it at 1,200 feet aboard the Geico Skytyper SNJ2 -- an aircraft used in the 1940s to train World War II soldiers for single seat Mustang fighters.
The ride lent itself to an up-close-and-personal view of the city. The pilot flew with the cockpit open at 135 mph. And while the aircraft welcomed its share of jostles, shakes and full-body thrusts while cruising over Lake Michgian, the unforgettable airborn performance stirred up ample excitement for the fleet's debut at the Milwaukee Air & Water Show this weekend. »Read Full Blog Post

Police: Man broke $2,400 signMarch 02,2013BENNINGTON A Farley Drive man was charged with a felony Monday after police said they believed he broke a wooden sign on Elm Street on Feb. 1 that cost nearly $2,400 to replace.
Matthew Bortell, 27, of Bennington, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of unlawful mischief resulting in more than $1,000 in damage.
In an affidavit, Officer Thalia Hudson, of the Bennington Police Department, said she was dispatched about 2:45 a.m. Feb. 1 to Elm Street. At the scene, Hudson spoke to a woman who said she had heard the sign for Edwards Investments being broken and saw two men leaving the area.
Hudson said Bortell was spotted on Main Street a short time later. While Bortell admitted to being on Elm Street earlier in the morning with another man, Hudson said he wouldnt give police a last name or address for the other man and denied breaking the sign.
Staff at Edwards Investment gave police an estimate of $2,390.46 to replace the sign.
Bortell has a previous conviction for unlawful mischief resulting in more than $1,000 damage from November 2009.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A pending deal between the state and federal governments will give a big boost to...

Tickets can be purchased at: www.hardingtickets.com
Online season ticket sales will begin early May, we look forward to you joining us this summer as we play!
This year, we have "A Season to Die For"
The Game's Afoot - June 11-14, 18-20
It is December 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. It's up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.The 39 Steps - July 2, 3, 5, 9-11
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre!
In The 39 Steps, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! A riotous blend of wildly inventive stagecraft and a cast of four virtuoso performers playing over 150 zany characters, this show is packed with nonstop laughs! The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure.The Mousetrap - July 23-26, 30, 31, and August 1
A group of strangers is stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm, one of whom is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house, a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman, traveling on skis. He no sooner arrives, when the jurist is killed. Two down, and one to go. To get to the rationale of the murderer's pattern, the policeman probes the background of everyone present, and rattles a lot of skeletons. Agatha Christie keeps audiences on the edge of their seats in this classic whodunit.
Audition dates are still pending for our 2015 SSDT season. Check back here or on Harding University's Facebook page for the latest information!

I was recently asked about my kids and told how I must be so "thankful" to have such beautiful children..............My mind went reeling with all the times I yell and tell them to "pick up your clothes", "Clean up after yourself", "Get up, what are you going to sleep all day?", "Why aren't you working?", "Get a job", etc and they STILL don't listen; I thought about the time that my "genius" son traded his 2004 Hyundai Tiberon for a 1995 Honda Civic because it was a "Honda, baby"; I thought about how my son, who can't even rinse a dish out, brought home a 19 year old, when he was 17 and introduced me to her 3 year old son; I thought about my daughter and how she never quite lived up to the image of the "girlie girl" that I always wanted, in fact, she rebelled, I thought about my pregnancy with Adam and how I was told to "abort" because I had toxoplasmosis; and Robert, what more can I say?; I remembered the prescription for valium that the doctor gave me(I love that doctor), when I brought my child in because he had a "friend" give him a tattoo of the Italian flag in my lanai and he got a skin infection from it and refused to take the antibiotic.............I thought about all the grief they've given me over the last few years and truthfully, I wasn't feeling it...............I just wasn't feeling "thankful" and then this person said surely I could think of SOMETHING that I was thankful for and then something came to mind.......... the birth of my son, Anthony, when I was 17 years old. There is a song by Kenny Chesney that came out around the time that Anthony was graduating and once I heard it I balled my eyes out..........still can't listen to it, but I feel it defines our relationship perfectly. Well, anyway...........when I realized that I was pregnant at 17 years old and that my boyfriend wasn't a prize, I was so overwhelmed with a feeling of doom. I thought to myself "There Goes My Life", but there wasn't a doubt in my mind that this was my child and I was going to do what I needed to do to be responsible for the baby that I was carrying. I was told during a sonogram that I was having a girl, the most ideal situation, I thought. I knew nothing about boys, didn't care to either. My brother was 4 at the time and while he was cute and all, he was my brother............I loved him, but I couldn't do his hair, or paint his nails, play dress up, etc.....I didn't know how to relate to him...........I had never even changed a boys diaper until my brother was born. Well, June 7th came around and I went into labor (the scariest thing for a 17 year old).......... he was finally born (after 36 hours) and they said it was a boy, my exact words out of my mouth were "its a WHAT?!?!?!" I was devastated and thought, "There Goes My Life"............but then I held my son and instantly I was in love with this 7lbs 8oz bundle of boy............we had some struggles and not so pleasant times, I lost friends, and didn't have the things that I wanted or to provide to my son, but I stuck it out, this was my boy.............I married his dad, had 2 more children with him and I can't say my life was ever what I had hoped it would be, I had tolerated years of physical, emotional and sexual abuse............ And then Anthony graduated HS and I watched him take his diploma and hold it over his head and as he walked away with the rest of his HS class, I said to myself "There Goes My Life". It was then that I realized that I had alot to be thankful for..................

HARRISBURG - For the last two years, the words gun control vanished from the political debate in the state Capitol.
With Republicans controlling the legislature and the Governor's Office in a state that issued thousands of hunting licenses in 2012, the only controversial gun-related legislation under consideration was a bill to expand gun rights under the so-called castle doctrine.
That bill, allowing individuals to use deadly force when threatened anywhere outside their homes as well as inside, passed easily.
Now, after the massacre in Newtown, Conn., several Democratic lawmakers plan to reintroduce long-buried bills that would place new limits on gun ownership.

Quinn demands answers from schools hiring retired teachers
Published 07/01/2013 | 05:00
Education Minister Ruairi Quinn wants explanations from primary schools that are employing retired teachers for long periods.
The retirees are being hired for weeks at a time despite strict regulations, the Irish Independent can reveal.
Now the Department of Education is planning to investigate individual cases to see if schools are flouting the rules.
Principals are under instructions to use retirees only when they cannot find an unemployed graduate to substitute for a teacher on sick or maternity leave.
As a more detailed breakdown on the use of retirees emerged, the Irish National Teachers Organisation (INTO) said it was indefensible given the number of qualified teachers available to work.
Around 1,800 new primary teachers graduate each year – three times the number of jobs that were filled last year.
The Irish Independent sought data under Freedom of Information legislation on the use of retired teachers in the eight-week period up to the mid-term break last October.
Principals argue that the lack of qualified teachers in some places leaves them with no choice but to hire retirees, as it may not be feasible for a graduate to travel a long distance with the expense that involves.
During the eight-week period looked at, there were 237 instances of retired primary teachers employed on a substitute or temporary basis for varying lengths of time in the country's 3,200 national schools.
Fifty-one retirees were employed in the same school for between one and six weeks or more, two covered for six weeks or more, six for four to six weeks, 15 for two to three weeks and 28 for one to two weeks.
The department refused to provide a breakdown of where retired teachers were employed, which would have given further insights into whether a principal could argue that location was a factor.
A spokesperson said that "the cases where retired teachers have been employed for long periods will be examined by the department".
It wants "to determine if there are particular reasons why they have been employed for such long periods and to ensure adherence to the terms of the circular issued by the department in 2011".
The circular also prohibits schools from recruiting anyone in a teaching capacity who is not a qualified teacher.
INTO general secretary Sheila Nunan said there might be "a tiny number" of cases where schools could not get an unemployed teacher and called on a retired teacher at short notice.
However, she said the rehiring of retired teachers on a regular basis or for extended periods was indefensible given the number of qualified teachers without jobs.

Julia, Julie and Me
I eat. Therefore I cook.
Not sure how I learned to cook. Or if I really can. I just do.
I've got a school notebook full of recipes I've clipped over the years from newspapers and magazines, including some from my mother, like her chicken cacciatore made with ketchup.Well, she loved it.
Others - for Kung Pao Chicken or pizza dough or mussells with jalpeno and tequila - have become old friends. I've got a few cookbooks - Flay, "Joy," Bayless - and inherited Mark Bittman's and highly recommended 900 plus page "How to Cook Everything" from my wife. The title is no exaggeration.
My daughters have both finally moved out and I'm going to get each of them a copy. And I'm a big fan of "Top Chef" - the new season set in Las Vegas starts Aug. 19 and "Top Chef Masters," featuring Bayless among others, Wednesday's on Bravo. But I've never seen a recipe on "Top Chef" that I felt I could make.
I am however, a reader of Gourmet magazine which has become pretty user friendly. And I regularly find recipes inside its section of quick dishes that I can make and that I clip and paste in my notebook, like a little schoolgirl with a new picture of the Jonas Brothers.
And so in the spirit of the upcoming film about French chef Julia Child, called "Julie & Julia" - opening Friday - I thought I'd try a few recipes from the August issue of Gourmet, and pass along the results.
First off was something called baked chicken meatballs with pepperonata.
I used a pound of ground chicken, some pancetta - or fancy bacon (and I could see substituting bacon) - onion, garlic, some herbs from the garden, mixed with milk soaked bread and eggs, and made a dozen or so little meatballs, topped with olive oil and tomato paste, and baked it.
My wife said the result tasted like chicken meatloaf.
It was a little unexciting and didn't look too much like the illustration in the magazine.
See the photo and recipe here.
But I *highly* recommend the side dish, pepperonata, or basically, baked red bell peppers with oil, capers, vinegar. The baked peppers were surprisingly sweet. I'd make them again anytime.
I'll post another recipe and write a bit about "Julie & Julia" tomorrow.
