If you're like me you may have missed a story a couple weeks ago that has broader ramifications than you may have originally thought.
You may recall that "sequestration" is the collection of automatic budget cuts proposed by the White House and agreed to under duress by Congress as part of the debt ceiling negotiations. The cuts go into effect on January 2 unless Congress and the President act. Kind of like a spending cut time bomb: the White House extracted this concession in exchange for its agreement to increase the debt ceiling, with the hope it could get Congress to accept other less terrible cuts and tax increases later. That plan has backfired, however, and we're left with the real possibility of the president's sequestration time bomb going off. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said these cuts would have a "catastrophic" effect on national security, "like shooting ourselves in the head."
As a result, businesses, especially defense contractors, are now preparing to lay off up to one million workers. A friend I spoke with yesterday told me at his company no one knows if they'll have a job come January 2. Usually these workers would not have to wait until the day the layoffs occur to know their fate. Under a Federal law called the "WARN Act," companies with 100 or more employees must give workers 60 days notice before a layoff of the lesser of 1/3 or 500 people. Failure to provide the notice can result in significant exposure to employee lawsuits. To avoid these costs, companies would need to notify workers of a pending layoff by November 2, 2012.
Well, that's terribly inconvenient timing for the president. Friday November 2 is the Friday before the election. It'd be a real bummer for a million voters to get pink slips four days before voting. Not wanting to let a good law get in the way of re-election, the Obama administration on July 30, through Jane Oates, assistant secretary in the Labor Department, issued "guidance" advising companies they need not comply with the WARN Act if they're contemplating sequestration layoffs. Effectively the administration advised defense contractors to not tell employees they're about to get fired. Never mind the reason behind the Act that employees should be given a fair heads' up. According to Obama, that law "shouldn't" apply if the Department of Labor says it doesn't.
But it gets worse. Many companies saw the advice from the Department of Labor and said they were going to provide the notices anyway, since ultimately whether they violated the law, and had to pay related penalties, would be determined not by the Department of Labor, but the courts. These companies' exposure was estimated to be as much as $4 billion, plus inestimable other expenses (see below). So, having not been convincing enough, on September 28, on the letterhead of the "Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget" the Obama administration went even further and agreed to pick up the tab for these companies' failing to comply with the law. In other words, if these companies rely on the DOL's advice, fail to timely provide WARN Act notices, and lay off employees with no warning whatsoever on January 2, Obama has volunteered to pay, at taxpayer expense, all resulting costs, including penalties, judgements and legal fees. Did I say this was at taxpayer expense?
And even further, not only has the original sequestration time bomb now resulted in (i) possible huge cuts in defense, (ii) the president advising companies to ignore another law he doesn't like, and (iii) his agreeing to use our money to pay for it, now, can you imagine a plaintiff's lawyer not suing a company for this violation when the government has agreed to stand behind them? What is the real exposure here? Only time will tell.
Here's Fox News' report on this issue:
Upon reading the administration's letter, Kelly Ayotte and John McCain immediately released the following statement:
Today, President Obama put his own reelection ahead of the interests of working Americans and our national security by promising government contractors that their salary and liability costs will be covered at taxpayer expense if they do not follow the law that requires advance warning to employees of jobs that may be lost due to sequestration.
The WARN Act exists to protect workers by providing at least 60 days' notice of layoffs from government contracting work. But today, the Office of Management and Budget published guidance for the defense industry and other government contractors that they do not have to provide that notice now even though, under current law, $109 billion in across-the-board budget cuts scheduled to occur on January 2 are estimated to result in as many as 1 million lost defense jobs.
Apparently, President Obama puts politics ahead of American workers by denying them adequate time to plan their finances and take care of their families. The people who work in the defense industry and other government contracting companies deserve as much notice as possible that they are on track to lose their jobs.
As a result of the OMB guidance, the Department of Defense will have to allow companies to claim repayment for the salaries of workers who are laid off but did not receive the required WARN notices – a cost to the taxpayer that could be as much as $4 billion. In addition, DOD will have to reimburse companies for any legal damages paid to workers who are laid off but did not receive the required WARN notices – a cost that is inestimable.
Facing intense lobbying by defense companies and other government contractors for financial protection if they agreed not to issue WARN notices, the Obama Administration is giving contractors a free pass and will have potentially stuck the taxpayers with a multi-billion dollar campaign contribution.
We also have questions regarding the legal authority of OMB to interpret the WARN Act as it has, and to obligate the Federal government to pay billions of dollars of potential claims from private contractors arising as a result of this interpretation.
The Obama Administration is cynically trying to skirt the WARN Act to keep the American people in the dark about this looming national security and fiscal crisis. The president should insist that companies act in accordance with the clearly stated law and move forward with the layoff notices. Republicans and Democrats in Congress, as recently as three days ago, called on the president to work with us to avert the looming threat of sequestration to our national security.
This is not the first time the president has simply ignored the law, and not the first time it will cost the taxpayers. But this is the first time I'm aware of that he's affirmatively committed the taxpayers to clean up his mess for political purposes. No, wait. I'd say with $25 billion still at risk for bailing out GM, rather than following Mitt's legal plan to prepare GM to be competitive, that counts, too.
The New York Daily News described this maneuver as follows:
This is utter lawlessness. Obama is asking these companies to break the law and obligating the taxpayers to foot the bill. Ironically, the WARN Act is just the sort of employee protection that Democrats have traditionally championed. But that went right out the window the minute it complicated a Democrat's reelection effort.
National Review pointed out that this kick the can approach to delaying the impact of bad budget decisions also adversely affects our national security:
But this drawn-out game of budgetary "chicken" does have some definite losers. Defense readiness and capabilities are already being undermined by the "soft" sequestration — the armed forces have already pulled back on activities, operations, and contracts in anticipation of the budget crunch. Further, small and medium companies without the deep pockets to weather the months of uncertainty ahead are facing very tough choices.
Regardless of how the budget battles play out, damage has already been done to our defense industrial base and to troop training and readiness. All of the political jockeying about the WARN Act has done nothing to preserve, much less promote, a strong national defense.
Just last Friday in Real Clear Politics, Michael Barone pointed out one of the most insidious elements of this political move. It undermines the rule of law:
The campaign — as my former boss, pollster Peter Hart, likes to say — always reflects the candidate. A campaign willing to skirt the law or abet violations of it reflects a candidate who, as president, has been doing the same thing.
Examples abound. Take the WARN Act, which requires employers to give a 60-day notice of layoffs. It was sponsored and passed by Democrats.
The WARN Act requires defense contractors to give notice on Nov. 2 of layoffs that will be necessary on Jan. 3, when the sequestration law requires big cutbacks in defense spending.
The administration has asked companies not to send out the notices. And it has promised to pay companies' WARN Act fines. Why the solicitude? The warnings could cost Obama Virginia's 13 electoral votes.
When did Congress give presidents the power to suspend operation of this law? What law authorizes the government to pay the fines of those who violate the law?
It was one thing to tell companies blithely to disobey the law, or that it doesn't seem to apply. But it adds insult to injury to promise taxpayer money to help Obama avoid the political fallout from his policies. President Obama just made a potentially multi-billion contribution of our dollars to his re-election bid, all to keep employees whose jobs are on the chopping block in the dark just long enough. But alas, isn't that what the Democrats' plan is anyway? Buy votes with taxpayer money? I'm with Mitt. We can't afford four more years of this.

XY Boytoy All Grown Up & Having Legal Regrets Now that He's on MTV
Several blogs have received notices from Bryan J. Freedman, an attorney claiming to represent actor Colton Haynes, threatening legal action if they do not remove the "private, obscene, lewd and pornographic photographs" of Haynes kissing another guy—images he took as a minor for the March 2006 issue of gay photo mag XY. This wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that Haynes's new MTV show Teen Wolf is debuting this weekend, would it? We would say Haynes is pulling a Dustin Zito, except for the fact that Haynes' pictures aren't even remotely pornographic or private. The teen wolf has apparently hired a teen lawyer.
You remember Dustin Zito. Right before his appearance on the Real World: Las Vegas (The Search for More Ratings), the gay porn studio where he used to wank off made a sad attempt to remove his gay porn images from the innernets. We still have SFW versions of those images, but the XY pictures of Haynes don't feature any sex or nudity at all; they just show Haynes swapping spit with another guy.
Also, if these so-called "private" pics ran in XY magazine (which had a pretty high circulation in its heyday), then they fall under First Amendment protections of Fair Use. That's why we're posting some of them here for you in our handy gallery. That's only the iceberg tip of the fishiness surrounding this lawyer. But if you wanna know about that you'll have to read the whole sordid tale over at DoorQ, the site where we got the above image.
UPDATE: We removed the two hi-res images at the photographer's request.
I agree
Hollywood is full of nothing but a bunch of hypocrites who say that they are liberl bla bla bla when in reality they have been promoting racism and homophobia forever
its time for people to wake up and BOYCOTT HOLLYWOOD
Teen Peen
Hollywood is a business and they don't think gay movies or tv sells.
No James, they CLAIM that is what they think…
However, lets look at the facts.
Brokeback mountain made more money than Scream.
Yet for the next decade we were treated to several Scream Sequals, as well as MULTIPLE copy cat movies. And yet not one major studio release of a gay movie. Why not? Brokeback made more money.
Will and Grace ran for a very long time, Modern Family is doing very well etc…
They know that gay films and TV can make money, they are just homophobic bigots. This is the same group of people that still think showing and interactial couple is "Controversial"
Hey there. I run DoorQ.Com. Thanks for picking up the story and running with it.
DoorQ.Com crashed under the server load. We're moving server companies and should be back up later tonight. I'll probably post the whole letter, too.
these twinkie dinkies do nothing for me. to each is own…
@Cam: Not just Brokeback Mountain. Let's look at top grossing gay movies, and the cost to make them (where I could find the later number) over the last 15 years:
The Birdcage
185 mil in Box office
Brokeback Mountain
178 mil Box Office
$14 mil budget
$50 mil Box Office
$20 mil budget
The Kids Are Alright
$25 mil Box office
$4 mil Budget
In and Out
$63 mil
There are a plethora of other movies with strong supporting gay characters that have performed really well.
One thing about Hollywood is that it's not just homophobic, but also conservative. Years after African-American movies were proving their box office pull, they industry was still not playing them.
And, think about the Latino and Asian populations in the country versus what gets scene on the screen.
Either this lawyer didn't do his research before threatening people, or he's not really a lawyer and is instead, an agent or rep of Mr. Haynes trying to intimidate people into submission. I bought that issue when it was on the stands, and there's nothing pornographic OR private about the shoot. Don't fall for the BS routine, because we all know there's no case here that would stand up in any court of law.
Smells like a publicity stunt to promote a new show, star, & MTV.
Of course there's nothing pornographic. For starters, if I'm reading this right, he was underage when the photos were taken, yet they've been widely available for years with nobody in jail over it.
Lawyers are just paid liars. These photos are, as you say, not remotely pornographic, private or obscene.
This is news?
"then they fall under First Amendment protections of Fair Use."
Could QUEERTY writers do a bit more editing?
There is no "First Amendment" protections for "Fair Use": "Fair Use" is a term used in copyright law. The First Amendment does not give you the right to copy a book verbatim and distribute all the copies you want – that right belongs to the owner of the copyright (e.g., the author). Copyright law does, however, allows you to quote something for purposes of commenting on it, so someone writing a book review can quote a few sentences from a book as an example.
Ugh these Hollywood Closet Cases or in the case of this guy- actors who want to go back into the closet because of their "career" are pathetic and do not deserve our respect or sympathy at all.
The reason you have lots of deeply closeted bisexual and gay male actors and celebrities are because of the openly gay and bisexual directors, press and talent agents who tell these actors, "If you come out your TV/movie career will FAIL!"
Not true, just look at Carey Grant he was openly bisexual in the 1950s and he did just fine.
Then you have the studio staff the writers and everyone who works in the studio actually defending these pathetic closet cases.
Hollywood and the entertainment industry are not that liberal of a business at all, and yes it's true that they do promote bisexual and gay actors staying in the closet.
Oh those *poor* closeted bisexual and gay male actors and celebrities! Give me a break, if teens and young adults can come out to their families and friends risking alienation, violence, being kicked out of home, and even people in countries such as Iran and other parts of the middle east and Jamaica and the Carribean whose lives really are in danger if they come out as bisexual or gay can come out, so can these pathetic closeted actors and celebrities.
@deurker I agree.
This is much ado about nada. Since when is kissing considered "lewd" or "pornographic" or proof of latent / full-blown / accidental gayishness? Kisses happen.
He 's an actor, not a candidate for the Supreme Court or King of the Mormons.
— — — —
@B : Is that really you? I've looked high & low for you & some other old faves here on Queerty 2.0. I'd assumed you'd joined a cult, succumbed to Pam's Blender, or entered a witness protection program. (I was pretty sure you hadn't been raptured, though.) Welcome back.
No news here. Queerty still thinks it's edgy and cool by being the only gay site that picks on gay people before homophobes!
Yeah, so snarky! The new Queerty is so…..much like the old?
@Right Wingers Are Socioptahs (John From England): said…
"No news here. Queerty still thinks it's edgy and cool by being the only gay site that picks on gay people before homophobes!"
Actually having a lawyer refer to some pictures of him sharing a kiss with another guy as "Pornographic" sounds not only homophobic to me, but it exposes the rampant homophobia in the entertainment industry that would force the actor to be terrified of pictures like these.
doorQ.com is back up after switching servers. I added a new post that contains the full letter. If you are interested in reading it, check out the post via this link.
I like queerty, it's why I log-in. If you can only criticize, start your own blog, "whines with my cheeses".
Marketing genius! MTV has gotten the buzz out about their new show "Gay Teen Wolf". duh…
Does anyone else remember both Haynes and the other guy in those photos having a strong MySpace presence back in the day? They claimed to be boyfriends and there was lots of lovey dovey back and forth between the two. I'm pretty sure that's why XY covered them in the first place (aside from them being hot, obviously). I mean, I don't begrudge the kid his career, but I don't see how it's possible to retreat back into the closet from all this. He'd need one hell of a powerful warlock lawyer to erase these pictures from the internets.
First of all, who is this guy? Second, if don't want private obscene, lewd and pornographic photographs of yourself self to show up in the internet, don't allow a professional photographer to take such pics of you for publication in a magazine.
@Art Smith: I'm not saying your POV is incorrect, but your example of Carey Grant is ludicrous. Mr. Grant may have been openly bisexual in Hollywood, but that was probably the only place it was known. I highly doubt it was known in the vast majority of the country.
@Marc D'Urso:
Yes!! And the other guy was from San Antonio, he was poz and he passed around to a lot of local guys!! I think he is a fitness model now, I find him so ugly though, his eyebrows are super far apart.
Re No 16 Jaffee
… yes, it's me. I thought QUEERTY had gone away permanently and accidentally found a link to it that worked.
I may not be posting anything for a while due to a technical
issue with my ISP. My connection is failing regularly and I have to get someone out here to fix a wiring problem.
BTW, the picture they are sometimes showing is someone else.
I agree with the notion that Hollywood is a very conservative institution. Its conservatism is built on the fact that it was established as a marketing machine for the fantasies and fetishes of heterosexual men. Gay men's involvement was – and is – always a behind-the-scenes thing. We're like the people at the back of the bus who help to run things but who cannot be marketed.
As such, I have no respect for any of the Hollywood studios. They can all fuck off as far as I'm concerned. It's time we boycotted all their product – Universal, 20th Century Fox, Sony, Warner Bros etc etc.
If it was a Hollywood actress kissing another woman, the mainstream media would be promoting it as "sexy" and "hot". Therein likes the mainstream media's double standard. The mainstream media along with Hollywood is guilty of pushing this double standard and making us gay and bisexual men feel as if we're second-class citizens.
Well, my message to the mainstream media and Hollywood is this: fuck off. We're tired of your sleazy liberal lies and hypocrisy. No wonder so many of us gay and bisexual men are turning to conservatives. At least conservatives don't have this double standard.
Who knows – many of us might even vote for a Republican President in 2012.
@jason: Yes. That makes perfect sense. Corporate-owned Hollywood has a double standard against gay men, so let's show them by voting in MORE corporate-owned politicians who don't bother to hide their hatred and discomfort of gay men. You know, except when they are gay themselves and voting against their own self interests like selfish bitches. That's SURE to make corporate-owned Hollywood stop treating gay man like second class citizens…
>No wonder so many of us gay and bisexual men are turning to conservatives. At least conservatives don't have this double standard.
If we vote any more Republicans into office like the kind we've had, then, quite soon, it really will be the case that you can't quote from an attorney's letter over copyright issues and tame pics of two guys kissing really will be considered porn.
I got a threatening letter from the photographer the other day for posting his pics accompanying a story on my website.. the note was lamely written and a completely irrelevant threat about me not holding copyright for images that the publisher was publicizing.
My understanding is that the photographer isn't much for the pics appearing on porn sites. I've been told he's trying to make it clear that his images are not porn and will ask any porn site that posts them to take it down under DMCA.
I don't believe he has an issue with news sites posting the images. When XY folded, I think he's now the only one with copyright on the photos, so Haynes attorney never had standing to ask that legal pics taken of his client be removed. That didn't stop him from doing so and for sites like Blogger and Typepad from acquiescing to his requests.
Note that if you think you fairly used the pics under copyright and DMCA law, you can file a DMCA counter notice with your hosting company, declaring your Fair Use. Be prepared that the hosting company could take your site off-line if they'd like, while waiting to sort issues out.
I can't help but think this was the strategy behind the letter campaign.
I never get tired of these pictures… yum.
I just now stumbled across Dustin HOT Zito on MTV Vegas and am seeing all the stories and HOT pix of him with other guys. He's FOS, and anyone who believes he didn't Phuq any guys at any time in the past or even get Phuqed are THTUPID or headless. He wasn't that hot when he was first drafted on to the gay scene, but now, OMG!!! I would so do him!!!! 4 times during the day and at least twice at night.
Even if these didn't fall under Fair Use, Colton Haynes' attorney should know that his client doesn't own the copyright to the images and therefore has no standing to insist they be removed. I'm certain the photographer had Haynes (and his parents) sign a model release. No magazine the size of XY would run photos without a model release. The photographer or former publisher, depending who retained the copyright, might have some standing, but not the model.
I have a hard copy of this issue. :)
I'm sorry, but he can make any claims that he wants to, but he is GAY! You don't close your eyes and look like he does if you are not TOTALLY into the other person!
i watch the show and i was hoping for some gay action since they referenced homosexuality twice already with only three episodes out but the main character seems completely straight his best friend how ever may not be :)
You can't get rid of your old pics in the digital age. I have found non-porn but almost-nude shots done of me for an "artistic" mag as a late teen/early 20s and I am now over 60. Of course they don't have my name and no one but me would ever realize who it was!
This tells me so much! I have a blog that is hosted on Blogger. I wrote about Colton Haynes and posted these photos there over a year ago. Last week I received word from Blogger that they had received a DMCA complaint against me and they pulled my post. I was given no word on who made the complaint. If it was, in fact Colton Haynes' lawyer, who obviously does not own copyright, I plan on fighting this. Very interesting indeed.
Gay material? I'm hetero and downloaded the 2 pic's with other play fight photos I got on the 'net. Wow now involved in a controversial setup. Ridiculous. Hollywood. NWO. Ignore I would say.
@Thomas: I get a hard copy, whenever i read that hard copy… ;)
Looks like a hot photoshoot.
Gay magazines always seek to exploit underaged and young adults in "barely legal" sexual situations. The gay subculture is all about exploitation of youth and destroying innocence for carnal lust. I would love to hear Colten's point of view on how he was lured into doing this. I wonder if he even understood how these pics were going to be used.
Gay ppl moan on about equality and discrimination but where is the moral voice that stands up against the exploitation of youth? Silent,because this hedonistic community celebrates this kind of sleaze. But we will reap what we have sown.

When you publish a magazine aimed at the young gay market, you have more reason to show young gay people than, say, the straight porn mag, "Barely Legal," which is not marketed to teen girls.
To seek celebrity with no accomplishment other than your MySpace page and pictures in XY magazine, you and the media exploit each other in a game begun before celluloid first threaded camera. Attempting to disavow the methods that got you a shot at Teen Wolf is your own hypocrisy.
It's also hypocrisy and exploitation to stumble upon a Queerty article titled "XY Boytoy" for outraged comment. It suggests a homofauxb who votes conservative but quivers in dreams of buggery.
Reminds me of a closeted acquaintance invoking "sociological research" as his reason for being in a gay strip club and evincing shock that the dancers had dicks.

When you publish a magazine aimed at young gay guys you have reason to show young gay guys. Not like the straight porn mag "Barely Legal," which shows young girls to a audience that's neither.
To seek celebrity with no accomplishment other than your MySpace page and pictures in XY magazine, you and the media exploit each other in a game begun before celluloid first threaded camera. Attempting to disavow the methods that got you a shot at Teen Wolf is your own hypocrisy. No innocents here.
Or innocence here exploiting a Queerty article titled "XY Boytoy" for outraged comment. Hypocrisy, sure. The kind that suggests a homofauxb who votes conservative but dreams wetly of buggery. Reminds me of a closeted acquaintance invoking "sociological research" as his reason for being in a gay strip club while evincing shock that the dancers had dicks.
why stuff blocked out show full gay SEX
i love gay sexxxxxx show full sex
I have this magazine. Haynes was really convincing in the spread.
Holy crap! I knew I recognized him! I need to go home and check out my old issues of XY now. Got 'em all on a shelf. :)
What I don't get is why their making a big deal. It's a new Era, and homosexuality is starting to be accepted now. I've noticed that the older generation still has some problems with it, but their moving on. Further more, if their doing this for Teen Wolf, I highly doubt that said older generation is going to watch it. Not only that, but one of the best TV shows I ever watched was all about Gay people. Queer as Folk, it showed gays as what they are. Their more then one type. Just like Straight people. Not only that, but by Haynes doing that he just opened up a chance for a new Audience. A gay one. And they even have a gay character on the TV show! But imagine that, he's the one with the least amount of lines. I just wish I could say, it's a new time. People don't really care what you do, who you do it with.
On the other side, I can see why he wants those pictures taken down. What if Haynes feel embarrassed? Sure, he shouldn't have taken those pictures unless he was sure but what if he's afraid that people are going to keep thinking he's gay? I don't know if he actually is or not.
Gay = $
Nothin' personal, just business.
@John: = less
I don't see how that works John. I'm not mad or anything, sorry if it sounds that way, just explain to me how that works. The show might loose a few because of homophobics, yeah, but it's main character would still be straight and every other person, besides danny, would be. Plus, they already have a openly gay character on the show. How would two be any different?
I'm with you. Colton and Dustin (gawd what annoying names) are extremely unattractive IMHO. And I love twinks. But these cornfed butch baby beefcakes make me very flaccid.
@Cam: Werk! everything about that response keep doing what your doing no bad notes. :-)
The only problem I have with the gay films is that they are poorly Acted and filmed so Colton would fit right in because he's terrible but he still should be able to be himself but that's not how hollywood works yet they have secrets parties that are heavy on the things they blatantly try to pretend they are against but secretly love.
Hungry to write and film an amazing gay independent film. I love Brokeback mountain, Weekend, Keep the lights on and cannot be without SHELTER amazing film. Off topic as always lol but Colton congratulations on the success and I hope he follows in the footsteps of Ezra Miller "AMAZING ACTOR" and Paul Iacono "ADORABLE and a quality actor" :-)
both successful and open. Paul more then Ezra
I read the article and I still don't know or don't care who this is. I stopped watching MTV when they stopped playing music videos. Apparently, I haven't missed much.
I'm a fan of Teen Wolfe,yes I started to watch purely to see what the hype over the gay dream scenes were all about and some hot guys running around a locker room in only towels. And Colton is one of them more than half of his screen time seems to be in a towel. But I'm also a fan of Days of our Lives. I was told about a gay love storyline and how good it was. Well it was really really poorly written but that's a soap for you. But the two actors Chandler Massey who won 2 Emmys for his role as Will Horton and Freddie Smith as Sonny Kiriakis brought such life to the characters that FB, Twitter, Instagram and Tumbler all have pages for the actors and the story dubbed Wilson. The story featured openly gay Sonny returning home meeting the then straight Will who realizes he's gay but before coming out knocks up his kind of ex GF while drunk because he kissed a guy ..played by Kris Kristoffersons hot son..but then he comes out and he and Sonny fall in love get kidnapped, shot deliver Wills baby…typical soap. The love that the boys portray is sincere. Wills coming out was very PSA at times. The biggest complaint that the fans in the fan club pages talk about is how the love scenes and eve the simple kisses are very PG.. Both Chandler and Sonny are straight but I don't think that's the reason but they kiss like you would kiss your mom. And while Abby and Chad are playing tonsil hockey and dry humping all we see of Will and Sonny is the after glow under the sheets…with bare legs sticking out to let you know they were naked.two different standards for gay sex scenes and straight sex scenes. But I guess it ok since GLAAD has given the show awards and kudos. If GLAAD is ok with that then who am I to disagree. Homophobia runs rampant in the old boy Hollywood. At least the producer Robert Corday is
And the studio. I do have to say though that from the fans that I've met both of the a tires are very talented…in fact try to catch Freddie Smith in a show he produced called Addicts Anonymous. He plays a councilor for a group of people all addicted to different things from drugs to sex to OCD believing they can all benefit by being in the same group. Check it out Freddie's Twitter page. Sorry..I kinda have a fan crush on him. But you will see why when you check out his pages
Ok, I have a new proposition – when someone loudly and viscerally starts snapping back at the community that they once ran to (us) to get them their publicity, we should issue a burn notice for this person. In other words – Colton Hayes wants to pull back all of his 'mistakes' and/or have an attorney make homophobic responses – then we no longer cover, discuss and or entertain Mr. Hayes. Hollywood as an industry may, as some of you claim, be homophobic. However, Hollywood is also full of homosexuals. It's time that we start using our abilities in the industry to make real changes. Keep the quasi-pretty boys that once 'did it with a guy', and bring on our own – out, proud, LGBTQ members – to the forefront. The Danny Zitos and the Colton Hayeses of the world will no longer be issues, and it's time that we start making them things of the past…
@Josh in OR: Look at the god side of the threat and potential suit; you'd make a lot of money off all of those illegal claims.

text: Get Even (link to Facebook page) is an upcoming FPS from some of the folks behind Painkiller, whose new studio created NecroVision and Deadfall Adventures. If you were to watch the trailer, you'd probably be able to guess that the men in camouflage clobber have been shooting one another but other than that, the game could be about anything. Examining the textures of dilapidated buildings, perhaps, or hunting for kidnapped torture victims in the dark. It's a shame that the video is a pile of bobbins because the game has a couple of interesting ideas. The developers are claiming that 'large-scale real-world' scanning allows the creation of photorealistic graphics and I'm not sure if that means I didn't just watch a live action trailer. What do you reckon?

My fiancee Michael and I have been together since we were in high school. I was 14 and a freshman, he was 15 and a sophomore. We were so cliche, I was the cheerleader he was the football player. Here we are 6 years later planning the rest of our lives together.. Who would have thought?
How we Met...
In 8th grade I went with my friend to Yogi Bear campground and he went with his friend (Everyone at our school did this camping trip every year). We didn't know each other at all at this point. He said he was with his friend the first time he saw me and he thought I was pretty and told his friend this.. During that camping trip he had a miniature crush on me. I was not interested at all! haha I really liked this other boy who was with us as well so he was not even on my mind... There was one night we were all hanging out by the fire and him and my friends boyfriend were being silly and wrestling and I told him to fight for me (something silly like that haha) and later that night we were in one of the campers watching a movie. Someone said something that made me mad and Mike was laying on the floor all by his lonesome. So I said "I'm gonna go sit with him he's so nice, he is my future husband." And for the rest of the trip I called him by husband lol (I still didn't like him I was just being an immature goober LOL)
So when I got into high school we kinda met up again and I remember my friend I was with giving him a hug after school, and I said to him, "hey you were my husband where's my hug?!" and idk why but he was an awesome hugger. weird. lol Anyways, so I was chatting with a friend of mine on AIM one day and she happened to tell me that Mike said he liked me. (Remember how you used to ask the boy you were talking to who they liked because you wanted them to say you?? I do. lol) So he said that girls name and also mine, and she happened to tell me so I started talking to him. Things just went from there and here we are! He told me he still does not know to this day why he said my name and that he liked me. He said he didn't really even like me but my name stood out and he just randomly typed that... Gosh those were the good old days, we were so young and immature and did the silliest things, but that got us to where we are today and I'm okay with that!!! I just find it so crazy how I didn't even know him and I called him my "husband" and now he really is going to be my husband! So weird.

LAWDY! Is this man for real? I'm ready for a gay storyline, but I don't think his "singing" was a very cogent argument, LMAO. Second, when Y&R has a gay storyline, I would rather they have an actor who can act (sorry TB)! I like the message, but the style was bad.

OH GOOD LORD! :drunk:
I didn't think that anything could be worse than his acting, but I was wrong, wrong, wrong!
Is he kidding?
I wish he'd go to the doctor and get his adenoids out, he always sounds like he has a stuffed up nose.

Heavens, he's so deluded. Sexy as hell, but deluded.
It's not 1988 anymore, Thom. Stick with your visual arts. You're *really* good at it. The acting ... not so much. :rolleyes:

I liked Thom Bird's first run on Y&R but after he came back from the dead..not so much.
He is a bad actor IMO. He was expressionless..He had several opportunites to show emotion during Chance being thought dead and finding out he was still alive..but he was like watching a wall.
I don't know what happened to his acting skill's or maybe I just thought he was good because I was so young...
If/when Y&R ever do a gay storyline, I hope it isn't with him.

So I was able to pick up a copy from my local on Saturday night and so far I'm impressed, like seriously impressed.
I'm only about 4-5 hours in, so I'll try and keep it brief and spoiler-free, of course.
First off, Columbia is incredible! When you first arrive and see how realised and fleshed out the universe is, you're really get a feel of the five years of development that was sunk into this game. It's also absolutely gorgeous (I'm playing on 360) and the games art style and direction really brings Columbia's agenda of American exceptionalism to life, as does the beautiful signage and propaganda posters plastered all over the gaff.
Jeff spoke on this in the Ken Levine interview, about some of the themes the game deals with. They're surprisingly quite heavy, in ways I wasn't expecting. Some of which I've wished video games would explore more often. Kudos to Irrational, I guess. I won't get into this here though as it treads in possible spoiler territory.
And if there was ever an "escort mission" that was a pleasurable one, this is it. Elizabeth is not only free of the usual escort character tropes, she's charming as hell and great to have along for the ride.
I'm really diggin' what Irrational have done here, like I mentioned above I'm only about four hours in, but as of yet there hasn't been a dull moment.
Anyone else receive their copy early. What'd you think?

That does not mean the facility is facing a grim future.
Bee Development Authority Executive Director Joe B. Montez said this week that progress is still underway on bringing more large jet traffic to the former naval air station.
Montez said the BDA is moving ahead with plans to install Global Positioning System navigation equipment at Chase Field.
The Federal Aviation Administration is designing and testing a high-tech GPS system that will allow pilots to navigate to the runway there without having to visually find the location.
Installation of that equipment is scheduled for March of next year.
The $200,000 navigation system is being paid for with a $100,000 grant from the Beeville Economic Improvement Corporation, with a private grant from a local oil company, the Dan A. Hughes Company, and with funds provided by the BDA.
Montez said Chase Field has become a destination for corporate jets bringing executives from oil companies to the nearby Eagle Ford Shale oil field.
Right now, the pilots of those jets must visually find the airport as they fly into the area. The facility is rated for VFR (Visual Flight Rules) only. But with the new GPS system, the airport will be designated for IFR (Instrument Flight Rules).
That means pilots will be able to use the instruments in their cockpits to direct their aircraft right to Chase Field's runway.
"Most jets coming to the Eagle Ford use GPS now," Montez said.
He said upgrading the airport function at Chase will take time. But that effort is expected to pay off with more large jet traffic. The gold mine at Chase Field is its long runway, a facility capable of handling some of the world's largest jet aircraft.
"We're taking Chase Field one step at a time," Montez said. "The FAA granted VFR status here in about 2004. It's been a progression."
A significant step in that progression came when Hughes donated more than $1 million to the BDA for runway improvements and then built a large hangar at the facility to house his own corporate jet.
"It brings you economic development for the region and for Beeville," Montez said.
The IFR rating for the airport will not only allow corporate jets to find and use Chase Field, it also will open up the facility to companies which need a location for Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operations.
That has been the nature of the Sikorsky operation. But with a general slowdown in aviation-related activity associated with military operations, Sikorsky has been unable to sustain the level of business it needs to maintain the Chase Field operation.
Montez said the BDA has no plans to replace Beeville Municipal Airport as the community's only aviation operation.
"We just want to expand the possibilities," the director said. Hopefully, that will entice aircraft-related businesses to consider the two remodeled hangars, the warehouse facilities located between the two hangars and the paint booth at Chase Field for potential MRO operation.
Montez said the recent developments involving the Sikorsky operation prompted BDA board members to approve the release of $1.8 million in funds that had been secured for the construction of a new aerospace warehouse at Chase Field.
That included a $650,000 from the office of Gov. Rick Perry and a $1 million grant from the BEIC.
"We could not come up with the job creation because of the slowdown in the aviation industry," Montez said.

Oakland fans are all very excited for the 2010 football season to be here! The draft merely wet our whistles and teased us with anticipation for the fall to arrive sooner than later. Preseason is here, and the excitement continues to soar as we are able to sneak a peak at the possibility of new stars shining in the NFL.
However, not much compares to the real season, the one that counts, where stats, performances, wins and losses are all recorded on a permanent record.
It's nothing short of spectacular to watch every game of the season from the comfort of your own home, but there is no feeling in the world of football greater than attending a live game. You experience everything from the roar of the crowd to seeing your favorite players live in action. It's amazing!
However, if you REALLY want to embrace the total experience of being at a game, my personal advice is to attend a tailgate, and not just any tailgate, but an Oakland Raiders fan tailgate. Think of it as a personal pep rally, only more intense, and a lot more fun.
You can experience many things like great food and drinks, awesome music, bonding with fellow fans, and getting pumped up and ready to cheer for your team favorites. You may even be lucky enough to witness one of your past heroes joining in the fun and signing autographs for his fans!

May 5, 2011—Each spring, North Central College celebrates and recognizes top student scholars and their academic achievements with a daylong event called Honors Day. The 2011 Honors Day takes place Tuesday, May 17, and includes the 14th annual Rall Symposium for Undergraduate Research in the morning and the 35th annual Honors Convocation in the afternoon.
To kick off the day's events, the Rall Symposium for Undergraduate Research will feature two distinguished visiting scholars—who are North Central alumni, noted professors and cancer researchers—as keynote speakers at 8:30 a.m. in Wentz Concert Hall at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave.
Their keynote address is titled "Collaboration in Drug Discovery and Translation to Clinical Trials" and is free and open to the campus and local community.
Dr. K. Darrell Berlin, Class of 1955, and Dr. Doris Mangiaracina Benbrook, Class of 1981, were invited to give this year's address because of their high achievements and collaborative work on cancer research, and to honor North Central's Sesquicentennial celebration.
Berlin is Regents Professor of Chemistry at Oklahoma State University (OSU). Among his research interests are anticancer agents and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The research of Berlin and his group has brought more than $5.5 million to OSU in research funding. He has received numerous honors and awards for his teaching and research accomplishments, including the Sigma Xi Award in Research at OSU, Oklahoma Scientist of the Year, Oklahoma Chemist of the Year, Oklahoma Medal for Excellence in College/University Teaching by the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, and Regents Distinguished Research Award from the Oklahoma State University Board of Regents. He holds 27 patents and his research group has published more than 320 papers.
Berlin was honored by North Central in 2008 with an Outstanding Alumnus Award. After his graduation with a degree in chemistry and a minor in mathematics from North Central, he earned a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. Prior to joining OSU in 1960, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Florida.
Benbrook is professor and director of research and chair in gynecologic oncology at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. She collaborates with Berlin at OSU on preventative cancer drugs. Her research is focused on developing a nontoxic pill that would prevent certain cancers and prolong disease-free survival after cancer treatments. An especially rewarding outcome would be the impact of a low-cost pill on women in developing countries where cancer incidence and death rates are very high. Benbrook has received support from the National Cancer Institute for a preclinical trial of a drug that kills cancer cells. The compounds for the drugs she researches have been synthesized by Berlin.
Benbrook was honored in 2004 as Oklahoma Scientist of the Year and has served on national and international committees to develop and review basic science and clinical protocols for cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. She carried a double major in biology and chemistry at North Central College, followed by a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Loyola University. Benbrook completed a postdoctoral fellowship at La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation in California and at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London.

The Oregon Ducks took to Autzen Stadium for the second straight week when they faced off against the Fresno State Bulldogs.
And, just like the week before, the Ducks cruised to a 42-25 victory, once again flexing their offensive and defensive muscles in the first half.
Oregon used impressive statistics from Kenjon Barner and De'Anthony Thomas to quell the Bulldogs' upset hopes and solidify their position as one of the more dangerous offensive teams in the nation. Yet, despite all of their offensive prowess, the Oregon Ducks' starting defense has also looked very impressive in their first two games.
On the Fresno State side of the ball, the Bulldogs had difficulty adjusting to the rowdy road atmosphere of Autzen Stadium but made a few adjustments at halftime and played a bit more impressively in the third quarter against a relaxed Oregon defense.
At the end of it all the Ducks prevailed over the Bulldogs and cruised to a 2-0 record, which helped them keep their No. 4 ranking in the AP Poll.
Here are your winners and losers from the Oregon-Fresno State matchup.

Upper Deck Team USA Alumni Report: Huff provides big plays for DucksBy Joe Frollo and Mike DeVader Mon, 11/12/2012 - 2:00pm
Oregon wide receiver Josh Huff is making life difficult for opposing defenses, becoming a go-to guy when the Ducks' passing attack needs a big play.
Huff, a member of the 2010 U.S. Under-19 National Team, had five catches for a team-best 109 yards and three touchdowns as No. 3 Oregon beat California, 59-17, on Saturday.
Huff scored on a 10-yard reception late in the second quarter that gave the Ducks a 24-10 lead. He added two third-quarter TDs from 35 and 39 yards out as well.
The three receiving scores are a career-high, marking the second straight game this season he reached the century mark in receiving yards.
In the last two games, Huff has caught 11 passes for 234 yards and five TDs.
Next week, the Ducks welcome No. 14 Stanford to Autzen Stadium. ESPN's College GameDay will be on-hand for the game, making its seventh trip to campus.
Hogan wins first college start
Kevin Hogan (2011) threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns, including a 13-yard TD to Zach Ertz with 5:07 to play, to win his first collegiate start for No. 14 Stanford in a 27-23 victory over No. 11 Oregon State.
Hogan also connected with Ryan Hewitt for a 12-yard TD and with Stepfan Taylor on a 40-yard score as the Cardinal rallied from a 23-14 deficit. The 6-foot-4 sophomore rushed for 49 yards as well.
"He's earned our trust," Stanford head coach David Shaw said. "When you start a new guy at quarterback early in the week, we knew he could handle quite a bit, but we didn't know how much. But by the end of the week we know we could give him the ability to change protections, change runs to passes, passes to runs."
Hogan audibled on the game-winning score after seeing Oregon State in man coverage and took advantage of the mismatch.
"I just saw good coverage," Hogan said. "Anytime you can get Zach out one-on-one, not many people can cover him, if any. He ran a great route to get behind the defense and made a great catch for a touchdown."
Also for Stanford, A.J. Tarpley (2010) and Alex Carter (2011) both had four tackles. Ty Montgomery (2011) caught a 5-yard pass, and Wayne Lyons (2011) added a tackle.

A lot of men think that it's a lot harder to find and date quality women online than it really is. Of course, that's one of the major themes of the Gentleman's Guide to Online Dating (released today). If you haven't had a chance to get the book now, or you'll still sifting through all the bonuses, then these tips can get you started.
1. Look at her "last logged in" date. Many dating sites will let you see this or let you search for this. Anything over 7 days, move on. Even if she does come back to the site, she's probably going to have to mass delete all of her messages from when she was gone. Personally, I like to only message women who are currently online or who have been online that day.
2. Get off the site as soon as you can. Messages on a dating site are awkward and don't feel to most omen like part of her daily life. Ideally, you want to meet up in person as soon as you can. If that's too much of a jump from where you are, get her on the phone. Or texting. Or IMing. Or Facebooking. Or at least emailing with your real personal emails. You want to be part of her life even when she isn't in "dating site" mode.
3. Use your photos to tell a story. I thought this was a great section from Cajun's online dating course – how to use your pictures to tell a story. Your pictures aren't to show off how good looking you are (though always try to look your best and Cajun has some great photography techniques for that that any guy can use); they're to tell her about yourself. Have pictures of doing different things and with different people, etc.
4. It's not a job interview!. In our research for the course, I was surprised at how uselessly most men acted on these sites. They read a woman's profile and what she's looking for, and then send her a message like these are job requirements and explaining how he meets them. Borrrrrrrring. Yes, of course she wants to know that you read her profile and that you have something in common, but there are much better ways than, "oh, you like sushi? I love sushi! And you like long walks on the beach too? That's great! So do I!". Cajun suggests using humor or teasing, which I agree with. Tell her that after your long walk on the beach, you and her are going to steal a pirate ship together. It shows you read her profile and are genuinely interested in her or curious about her, but that you're not taking this stuff way too seriously. It's how a fun and high-value non-desperate guy would do it, and that's what she's looking for.
I hope these help – though I'm hardly doing justice to Cajun's work. Click the "expert online dating" link below to learn more about the Gentleman's Guide and Cajun's 30-day challenge:

Lesbian Science Fiction - Lesbian Romance
The Dawning
is a sequel to Night Vision.
This book is also available in digital formats compatible with Nook, Kindle, Sony, iPad and many more.
Don't forget to request an Authorgraph regardless of what format you have (even good old-fashioned paper)!
Julia Madison is having nightmares.
Every night. All night. Painful and perplexing,
the nightmares of a woman in captivity calling for help escalate
until she is having them during the day, wide awake. Doctors prescribe
pills. Therapists theorize about past lives and post-traumatic stress.
Fortune tellers predict she will meet a tall, mysterious stranger.
Julia would prefer to blame her ex, her job, even the Santa Ana
In spite of her long history as a loner, she turns
to a support group for women with sleep disorders. To her amazement
she learns that the other lesbians in the group-and only
the lesbians-are having similar nightmares. No longer believing
these vivid night visions are in their heads, the women join forces
to find the source of their disturbance.
Since Julia knows that her dreams focus on the
woman she's named Sirena, finding Sirena is her number one priority.
Convincing the other lesbians to help her comb the Mojave Desert
is only the beginning of the adventure.
Kallmaker's updated edition of her acclaimed romantic lesbian science-fiction
story pits the power of sisterhood-and love-against the savagery
of fear and hate.

It's not snow, it's borax.
Boron, California
Barstow Website
Deborah Pfeiffer, BAR, 12/11/97
If anyone had suggested to me that I would
have been moved and enthralled by a fictional alien encounter, I
would never have believed it, but there you have it. Go figure...
I especially enjoyed the ways these dykes pitched in to help one
another. It reminded me of the early days of the lesbian nation,
when we still believed in pulling together. Adams made me a believer
in this close encounter. Night Vision is funny, suspenseful,
and romantic--a real pleasure to read and recommend.
Mystery Buff Magazine, April 1998
There's no murder to solve, but that doesn't
mean it's not mysterious... The premise for the story is interesting
and imaginative. The friendship and humor that develops as the group
of women search for solutions is refreshing!
Bay Area Reporter, 12/18/97
Bibliophile's Bounty -- Night Vision,
Laura Adams -- Top Five of the year!
Lesbian Review of Books, Vol IV, No. 4,
Summer 1998
Initially, I despaired of dreams being used
yet again as a plot device to reveal the fears and anxieties of
the conflicted protagonist. But in the case of Night Vision, the
dreams really are an integral part of the plot development, being
the means of communication between alien and human.
Yes, an alien visitor, Sirena, makes communication
with the lesbian nation, embodied in the persona of Julia Madison,
an IRS worker in Fresno. This sci-fi-ish story can be classified
as speculative fiction set in present time.
At first look, okay, another alien visitor
visits earth only to be misunderstood, tortured, and hounded to
death. But in the skillful hands of Laura Adams, the alien's visit
becomes an inspired mechanism for an engrossing tale that is also
a delightful romp among the foibles of the lesbian nation.
When Julia Madison consults a therapist
about her strange nocturnal symptoms from Sirena's communications,
we get a delicious poke at the talking cure. "I wasn't sure
my budget could handle a therapist not determined to cure me"
Regarding Berkeley and why she moved to
Fresno, Julia reports "dating too many women who always talked
about getting in touch with their feelings but never did until they
were screaming at me" (45).
Adams makes good use of the California Central
Valley setting, invoking the maddening winds known as the Santa
Anas to set mood and influence character development. The construction
of the conclusion exhibits another deft touch of the writer's art
in a chilling brush with reality that lends veracity.
But where author Adams really shines is
what she does for love. The sex scenes are out of this world. Sex
scenes to die for. They are not the usual Naiad formula romance
that often reads like a how-to-do-it manual, (although instruction
certainly has its value and usefulness). The first consists of compression
images of memory and sex all rolled into one experience: "The
scene expanded until I was the center of it ... I dropped into my
most sensuous moments, the sound of moans and gasps, ooing and begging
all around me...I tried to shut off the screen, but...she...was
spilling my memories of sex and orgasms and foreplay. (58)
The next one manages to top even that with an inventive ménage.
It involves past memory of Maddy's former lover Mari, the alien
Sirena, and Maddy's present human lover, J.T. Maddy not only experiences
the other three but also can have mirrored back to her what they
are experiencing. Adams manages to simulate a first-time experience
yet accompanies it with the unabashed pleasure of multiple experiences.
"J.T. stirred next to me a while later. She kissed my shoulder
and then nibbled my ear. "Nice to share a dream with you."
I smiled, but was glad she couldn't see me blushing. For me it had
practically been an orgy with memories of Mari mixing J.T. in the
here and now--and the awareness of another presence, watching and
enjoying vicariously. (62)
Altogether, this is a fine tale well
told. Laura Adams ... is an able practitioner of the writer's craft.

EL PASO - Don Haskins says he has been approached by filmmakers more than a few times in the nearly 30 years since he helped shatter the color barrier in college basketball.
He even agreed to a deal once, though that film was never made.
But when Walt Disney Pictures approached him a few years ago to make a movie about his 1966 Texas Western team - the first to win a national title with five black starters - Haskins didn't hesitate.
"I always liked their movies and I thought they were movies kids could watch, that everybody could watch," said Haskins, 74, who coached 38 years at the school now known as the University of Texas at El Paso.
The film, "Glory Road," will star Ben Affleck as Haskins and is tentatively scheduled to begin filming this year.
For the Hall of Fame former coach who is still revered in El Paso - and to many others in this far West Texas border city where the NCAA title is still a great source of pride - it's important to get the facts right.
"I just hope it's real good," said Haskins, who has read some of the first scripts and found them to be fair. "I hope it tells the true story and I think it will. ... I'm thrilled to death and flattered that Ben Affleck was chosen."
Haskins has always been a reluctant hero about his role in changing sports history. He says he simply picked the best players for the 72-65 victory over Kentucky's heavily favored and all-white basketball powerhouse.
The racial intolerance that poisoned so much of the country hadn't found a foothold in El Paso, long a multicultural city. No one thought it odd Haskins was recruiting in the black neighborhoods of New York, Detroit and Gary, Ind.
After the Miners won, universities all over the country increased their recruiting of black players. Haskins, who had a record of 719-354 and ranks 18th in coaching victories, was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1997.
Open casting calls continue this week, with auditions in New Orleans on today and New York on Wednesday. Casting director Ronna Kress, who worked on "Remember the Titans" with Denzel Washington, said casting this film may be her biggest challenge.
"Really what we're targeting is real basketball players who, we hope, can act," she said. "There are kids I've loved as actors and then we take them out on the court and they can't dribble the ball."
Line producer Andy Given grew up in El Paso and said he understands how local people feel about Haskins.
"I've always wanted to work on this movie, since I was a little kid," Given said.
Given said movie executives are scouting filming locations, including El Paso, but don't yet have a schedule.
If wardrobe preparations are any clue, the movie will be true to history, said Joe Gomez, a team aficionado for 40 years and curator for a planned traveling exhibit about the game.
"They are almost anal about making sure they are accurate in terms of historical uniforms," said Gomez, who directed the Disney team to some reference material.
Susie Gaines, director of the El Paso Film Commission, said the coach isn't the only one hoping for an accurate portrayal.
"Everyone here loves Don Haskins, so it's very important to everybody," she said.

hint: it suffices to prove that the map r→r2 is injective (why?)
since K is of characteristic 2, show r2 - s2 = (r - s)2.
Could anybody help me with the following problem?
Let K be a finite field and denote the (multipl.) group of invertible elements of K with K^*. We set G:={r^2:r is in K^*}.
How can one prove that G=K^* if K has characteristic 2?
fix r in K*, if there is ONE solution to x2 - r in K[x], call it a, then we have TWO (since K is a field there is at most two roots to a polynomial of degree 2), since -a is likewise a (distinct) solution (since char(K) ≠ 2, a ≠ -a) and:
(x - a)(x + a) = x2 + (a - a)x + -a2 = x2 - r.
so the mapping a→a2 sends both a and -a to the same image.
now, let's show that this map is a homomorphism:
(ab)2 = abab = a(ba)b = a(ab)b (fields have an abelian multiplicative group)
= a2b2.
and the kernel of this homomorphsim is {-1,1} (why?)
the question now is: is this homomorphism surjective onto the subgroup G of squares of K*? (the squares of K* IS a subgroup because K* is finite, and we have proven closure:
a2b2 = (ab)2).
clearly (?) it is, so the subgroup G of squares of K* is isomorphic to K*/{1,-1} which has order |K*|/2, so:

Alison Renee Lee, Obama District Court Nominee
We could take Obama's advice and judge him by the people with whom he surrounds himself. Or we could judge him by the people with whom he is surrounding us for a generation to come by packing courts with moonbats — for example, his nominee Alison Renee Lee:
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said this week that Lee's nomination to serve as a Columbia-based U.S. District Court judge has provoked "concerns" among some South Carolina residents. Graham is a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has not yet scheduled a confirmation hearing for Lee.
Graham is also a collaborating RINO who voted to confirm hardcore leftists Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. Yet even Grahamnesty chokes on this latest assault on our judicial system.
Must be Graham is a racist for opposing a black nominee, liberals will shriek. But South Carolina's conservative senator is black too, and
Graham's colleague, Republican Sen. Tim Scott, voiced similar sentiments.
This could be due to Lee's habit of letting loose dangerous criminals who predictably commit more crimes while out on bail.
In January, Lee lowered the bond for an 18-year-old Columbia-area burglary suspect named Lorenzo Young. Lee consolidated bonds and reduced the total from $225,000 to $175,000 for Young, who subsequently was released and then later charged in the July 1 slaying of 33-year-old bagel baker Kelly Hunnewell.
On Wednesday, The State newspaper revealed that another teenager whose bond Lee had lowered, Dequan Vereen, was charged last week in the shooting death of a man outside a Richland County convenience store. The State reported that Lee reduced bond for Vereen, who faced charges of attempted murder and armed robbery, from $175,000 to $50,000 in February, according to records in the Richland County Clerk of Court's office.
John McCain's loyalty to Obama has certainly been unwavering lately. Why should his buddy Graham be any different? Possibly because South Carolinians are sufficiently sick of this RINO's treachery to mount a primary challenge.
But even if Graham fears voters enough to stall Lee's nomination, for every demented ideologue Republicans even gripe about, Obama tucks a hundred more into key positions, from which they will be ruling us long after his misbegotten presidency has finally ended.
