The Wildlife of Sausalito
Monday, October 21 - 7:00pm in the Council Chambers
Jennifer Robin Berry is a biologist and beekeeper living in Sausalito on windy Rodeo Hill. While most biologists would tell you they love adventures in vast wilderness, her passion lies in exploring nature in an urban environment. Jennifer's work repairs watersheds, reconnects animal passageways, and restores function to healthy ecosystems. Many Sausalito residents know of its rich human history, but its natural history continues to evolve even as it becomes more urban, and Jennifer seeks to answer the question of what life is like for the wild animals of Sausalito. Join Jennifer for tales of Sausalito's natural history, told with wildlife videos and images, artifacts and maps. She will also be presenting samples of her seasonal honey harvests for an exploration of the flavors of our city's landscape.

Public Hearing on the Rehabilitation of the Sausalito Public Fishing Pier
The City is engaged in a process to rehabilitate a damaged public pier near the Trident Restaurant to restore public access and fishing opportunities. The pier has been a part of the City as early as 1936 and has been historically used as a fishing pier. The exact date of when the pier was installed is not known, although historical photographs show the pier in existence as early as 1936. The pier was closed to public access in 2001 due to damage caused by the storm of January 11, 2001. Currently, the only remnants of the pier which remain are twenty-one pilings and the pier framing. On Nov. 7, 2007, the 901-foot Cosco Busan, headed from the Port of Oakland to South Korea, sideswiped a tower of the Bay Bridge in dense morning fog. The collision ripped a 211-foot-long gash in the side of the ship and punctured several of its fuel tanks, dumping 53,000 gallons of bunker fuel into the bay. As a part of a 2011 settlement with the owner and operating companies of the Cosco Busan cargo ship, grant monies were made available for certain projects and the City received a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to repair the public pier. On June 4, 2013 the City Council accepted the Cosco-Busan settlement grant funding for and initiating project design for the rehabilitation of the pier. A condition of the grant is that the construction be completed by the end of January 2014.
The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, October 16 at 6:30pm at City Hall on a request by the City for approval of a Design Review Permit and Non-Conformity Permit to rehabilitate a fishing pier for use as a public access point and for shore-based recreational fishing for both ambulatory and mobility-impaired persons at a City-owned parcel to the immediate south of the Trident restaurant along Bridgeway south of downtown. The project consists of replacing decking and railing and the extension of pilings in the same location as the existing pier, and the installation of a code-compliant ramp and staircase. The existing height of the decking will be raised by 3-1/2 feet to accommodate an anticipated increase in base flood elevation. The existing pathway which leads from the existing wooden deck to the shoreline walkway paralleling Bridgeway will be replaced with a ramp that is compliant with the California Building Code for accessibility.
Story poles were installed on October 2, 2013 which depict the width, length and height of the new pier. Note that the story poles show the tops of the new railings. A rendering of the pier will also be posted at the project site to help visual the project.
How to get involved, ask questions or view the plans: You can e-mail Lilly Schinsing, Administrative Analyst. or call her at: (415) 289-4134, . You can also hand deliver a letter to the Administration Department, 420 Litho Street, Sausalito, CA 94965, prior to the public hearing.

MSMC Theatre presented Almost, Maine, a play written by
John Cariani and directed by the Mount's associate professor of
theater, James Phillips.
Almost, Maine, is almost everywhere. It has been
produced by over 70 professional theater companies and by over
2,000 non-professional theater organizations across the United
States and around the world.
The play ran for three nights: April 10, 11, and 12, 2014, at
7:30 pm in the Aquinas Hall Theatre.
Read more about Almost, Maine
Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that's so far north, it's
almost not in the United States—it's almost in Canada. And it
almost doesn't exist. Because its residents never got around to
getting organized. So it's just…Almost.
One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the
northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost's residents find
themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees
are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and
confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be
the same.
ALMOST, MAINE: It's love. But not quite.
View a list of
awards, accolades and honors for the play
John Cariani is an actor and a playwright. He has appeared on
and Off Broadway, at regional theaters across the country, and in
several films and television shows. He's been nominated for a Tony
Award. He's done movies with Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken,
and Ed Asner. Most people seem to know him from Law & Order,
where he played Forensics Tech Beck from 2002-2007.
He started writing plays when he moved to New York City in the
late 1990s. He and his friends became known for an offbeat comedy
show they would put on from time to time at any downtown theater
they could find to perform in. They started to gather a little
following, and one night, up-and-coming director Gabe Barre caught
one of their shows and was taken by the odd, funny, sad, romantic
and anti-romantic little plays and sketches that comprised the
evening. A few nights later, Gabe met with John and asked him how
many of these short plays he had written, and John said, "A couple
dozen," and Gabe asked if he could take a look at all of them and
he did…and he noticed that many of the plays were surreal love
stories, all set on a cold winter's night in a strange little
non-town in far northern Maine, and he said, "There's a play here.

Product Description
Our longest. That you make even longer.
SLDR is built to help you hit longer/straighter drives by promoting a high launch angle, lower spin-rate and faster ball speed. That's what makes SLDR our longest driver ever.*
SLDR's CG location is both low and forward, due in large part to the large, 20-gram sliding weight on the sole. That promotes a dramatic leap in distance.
In addition to the low-forward CG benefits, the SLDR weight also represents a complete reinvention of movable weight, making it more effective and easier to use. Movable weight shifts the clubhead's CG horizontally toward either the heel, to promote a draw, or toward the toe, to promote a fade. SLDR's sliding weight allows you to shift the CG far enough to promote a side-to-side trajectory change of up to 30 yards.
The SLDR weight slides on the track and never comes loose from the clubhead. To slide the weight to any of the 21 positions on the track, simply loosen the screw, slide the weight, then tighten the screw. It takes as little as ten seconds. And the sole is marked with the words "fade" at the toe-end of the track and "draw" at the heel-end of the track to make it clear where you should position the weight to promote the shot-shape you want.
SLDR also incorporates our Loft-sleeve Technology, which allows you to adjust the loft. You can choose from 12 positions within a range of plus-or-minus 1.5 degrees of loft change. SLDR is available in three lofts – 9.5°, 10.5° and HL.
Aesthetically, SLDR's confluence of shape, color and visual accents make it one of the most visually compelling clubs we've ever created. Its striking modern-classic shape, charcoal-gray crown and chrome "button-back" all adds up to a remarkably beautiful appearance at address. And the clean design of SLDR's movable weight mechanism, including the single, blue weight and the track it slides in makes its appearance equally striking.
*Driver claim based on robot testing of 9.5 drivers in neutral setting at approximately 150 mph ball speed.
- Longest TaylorMade driver ever
- Low-and-forward CG promotes high launch, fast speed and low spin for huge distance
- Easy and intuitive SLDR movable weight promotes up to 30 yards of shot shape adjustment
- Increase or reduce the loft 1.5° with 12-position loft-sleeve
- Silver button-back works with subtle crown markings for easy clubface alignment
- Fujikura Speeder 57 shaft blends light weight with great feel and playability
- Stunning modern-classic shape with charcoal-gray crown

Halle Berry gives birth to a baby boy!
(Yahoo!) - Halle Berry is a mom again at the age of 47!
"The Call" actress gave birth to a baby boy on Saturday at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, her rep confirms to omg!.
This is Halle's first child with husband Olivier Martinez, 47. She has a 5-year-old daughter, Nahla, from her previous relationship with model Gabriel Aubry.
Berry and Martinez tied the knot on July 13 at Chateau des Conde in Martinez's native France. The couple — who has been together since meeting on set of the film "Dark Tides" in 2010 — confirmed they were expecting a child together in April.
"This has been the biggest surprise of my life to tell you the truth," Halle said at the time. "I thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me. So it's been a big surprise and the most wonderful."
It was later revealed she was expecting a boy.
"My son will be an American, but I remain French," Martinez told People magazine in June.
Congrats to Halle, Olivier, and big sis Nahla!

Arlington Heights, IL, August 12 -- The Grade 1, $1 million Arlington Million is annually one of Thoroughbred racing's most-anticipated summertime races, and HRTV (R), The Network for Horse Sports, will once again be on-track at Arlington Park to chronicle all the events leading into the Saturday, August 17 classic.
HRTV's coverage from Arlington will be handled by the tandem of longtime racing TV personality, Caton Bredar, and Zoe Cadman, who will combine to provide the latest developments, and up-to-date information leading up to the 31st edition of the Million.
Million weekend will represent a homecoming of sorts for Cadman, who enjoyed a productive riding career in the Chicago area, and is among the leading female riders in Arlington Park history. In addition, Cadman won the Hawthorne Race Course riding title in 2001, becoming the first woman to earn that distinction.
She returns to Chicagoland to team with Bredar to offer in-depth analysis and commentary for the spectacular day of racing, while conducting interviews with key owners, trainers, and jockeys, in advance of the 1 1/4 mile turf classic, which lures a host of the sport's top grass performers.
The Million is the centerpiece of Arlington's International Festival of Racing on Saturday, which also offers two additional Grade 1 races, the $750,000 Beverly D. and the $500,000 Secretariat, along with the $400,000 American St. Leger.
Post time for the blockbuster card is 12:45 p.m. CT.

The OC: Dudes at fancypants high school hold NFL-style draft to pick PROM DATES
Getting a prom date can be hard if you don't have a girlfriend or a boyfriend — and who is doing that old-fashioned thing these days? You have to find somebody to ask. You have to be nice to – and perhaps even spend some time with – any potential date.
A bunch of male students at Corona del Mar High School in the affluent Orange County suburb of Newport Beach, Calif. have allegedly found a different way: an NFL-style draft which ranks female students and sells first-round picks to male students looking to make a splash with a highly-coveted prospect.
School officials are trying to prevent the prom draft, reports the Los Angeles Times.
On Friday, the principal at Corona del Mar High, Kathy Scott, sent an email to parents objecting to the NFL-style selection process, warning that "it is not OK for any student to be objectified or judged in any way."
Scott told parents that she had heard rumblings about such a draft last year.
"I am sure that the intention of this 'draft' is not to be harmful, but it may be," Scott also wrote, according to Los Angeles television station KTLA.
According to the Times, a student said that the draft process involves male juniors and seniors drawing random numbers to determine the draft order. However, there is also an option to pay hard cash for a better draft position.
The unidentified student said one desperate junior paid $140 for the privilege of asking a particular female student he is sweet on.

America's most stressed states are...
(NEWSER) – Florida is the most stressed-out state in the lower 48 and that has nothing to do with pythons, shark attacks, or drug-dealing mayors, according to a new study. Real-estate blog Movoto used factors including commuting times, housing prices, and lack of health insurance to arrive at its findings. It ranked the Sunshine State first because of high unemployment, at 11.3%, and the fact that 25.8% of its population doesn't have health insurance. The rest of the top five:
- Georgia: This state had the combination of the longest working hours of any state in the top 10, and one of the highest rates of people with no working hours at all.
- New Jersey: The most stressed out state in the Northeast has the highest population density in the land, some of the longest commutes, and its residents spend the highest proportion of their income on housing.
- California: The most stressed state in the West has housing costs second only to New Jersey

I'm always looking for more footage or upgrades, so if you have a list get in touch via the email address above. Please note that (with a few exceptions) I do NOT generally collect interviews, documentaries or audience footage - just TV performances, promo videos, movie excerpts and professionally filmed concerts.

White House Rejects Reports On Cutting Off Egypt Aid
(Washington, DC) -- The White House is rejecting reports that U.S. aid to Egypt is being cut off. Presidential spokesman Josh Earnest called the reports "inaccurate" and said the question of ongoing aid to Egypt is still being reviewed by the administration. Egypt gets more than a billion dollars in American aid each year. Some U.S. lawmakers are demanding that aid be cut off as the deadly crackdown on protests continues in Cairo. Egypt is a longtime U.S. ally in the Middle East. Earnest said foreign aid is not turned on and off like a faucet.

Nikon 1 J3 review: A new midrange offering doesn't shineBy Janice Chen - Friday February 15 2013 Sensor Review
Released just a month after being announced at CES 2013 alongside a new lower-end sibling (the Nikon 1 S1), the new Nikon 1 J3 now takes its place as the midrange model in Nikon's lineup of interchangeable lens compact cameras, with a list price of $599.95 (with a 10-30mm kit lens). The J3 is an update to the Nikon 1 J2, which came out only five months prior to the announcement of the J3 and S1 and had been the camera maker's lower-end offering.
Though five months is a relatively short cycle time for updating an interchangeable lens digital camera, the J3's predecessor was not a particularly impressive performer or popular camera, so it makes sense that Nikon would want to update it relatively quickly.
Unfortunately, not that much has changed in the new model to make it any more appealing. Externally, the J3 looks virtually identical to the J2 (which is still priced at $549.95 with the 10-30mm lens), with the exception of the mode dial, which has been moved to the top of the camera. Internally, however, the J3 now sports the same 14.2-megapixel CMOS sensor as the higher-end Nikon 1 V2 (just as the J2 includes the same sensor as the V2's predecessor, the Nikon 1 V1).
Given that the V2 didn't really knock our socks off when we tested it, it's no surprise that the J3's sensor isn't really a stand-out in the category either.

Re: Fujifilm X series cameras
Thanks for your comment.
As you probably know, the Fuji X-Pro 1 does not use a Bayer matrix but a "X-Trans" matrix. We will try to test this sensor, but although we try to respond to your requests to provide tests for specific camera models, there are no plans for doing it in the short term.
Best regards,

Aaron Carter attempts to win back childhood sweetie Hilary Duff
Listen to Hilary Duff on iHeartRadio | Listen to Aaron Carter on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Holy déjà vu! Aaron Carter is trying to win back his ex-girlfriend from way back when, Hilary Duff.
On Wednesday, he retweeted a photo of the 26-year-old blond beauty -- who recently announced her separation from Mike Comrie, her husband of three years. The pic was captioned, "hilary duff is flawless."

— Common Teen ✌ (@yoteens) March 5, 2014
He later followed up with a tweet of his own that read:
Don't be that stupid douche that loses the love of your life forever.. Like me...
— aaron carter (@aaroncarter) March 5, 2014
I'll spend the rest of my life trying to better myself to get back to her. I don't care what ANY of you think. 🙉
— aaron carter (@aaroncarter) March 5, 2014
The public admission must have overwhelmed him because he immediately added:
That tweet just gave me an anxiety attack 😔
— aaron carter (@aaroncarter) March 5, 2014
More than a decade ago, Hilary and Aaron were a match made in teen idol heaven. They flaunted their love on red carpets and he even guest-starred on her hit Disney show, "Lizzie McGuire." But the puppy love ended after Aaron famously left America's little darling for another teen actress, Lindsay Lohan.
In 2005, Aaron opened up on "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch" about what really went down between the two. "I started dating Hilary [Duff] on my 13th birthday," he confessed. "I was dating her for like a year-and-a-half and then I just got a little bored so I went and I started getting to know Lindsay, dating Lindsay."
Aaron's recent string of tweets isn't the first time he's spoken publicly about his remorse. Back in 2012, he spoke candidly about Hilary's marriage, her pregnancy news, and his regret. "I'm really happy for her that she's in a successful relationship and that she's going to have a baby," he told Fox News. "Sometimes I think to myself, maybe that could have been me but it is what it is."

The NBA's war with Donald Sterling is just getting started
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has banned for life the problematic racist slumlord in their midst, embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, but the war to force him to sell has only just begun.
In addition to being exiled, Sterling was also slapped with a $2.5 million fine, the largest in league history. Of course, said bill still represents just 0.26% of Sterling's reported $1.9 billion dollar fortune, or the equivalent $51 parking ticket to an American making the median in yearly earnings ($38,786).
Silver made it clear that "these funds will be donated to organizations dedicated to anti-discrimination and tolerance efforts that will be jointly selected by the NBA and its Players Association." The ban, Silver added, ensures that "Mr. Sterling may not attend any NBA games or practices. He may not be present at any Clippers facility, and he may not participate in any business or player personnel decisions involving the team… He will also be barred from attending NBA Board of Governors meetings or participating in any other league activity."
Silver also explained that a league investigation had concluded that Sterling was, in fact, the guy caught on tape making racist remarks with former mistress V. Stiviano.
The biggest blow, however was saved for the end of his prepared remarks:
"As for Mr. Sterling's ownership interest in the Clippers, I will urge the Board of Governors to exercise its authority to force a sale of the team and will do everything in my power to ensure that that happens."
That was shocking. In the days prior to today's announcement, the general assumption was that Silver and the other owners would suspend Sterling and then quietly work behind the scenes to facilitate a sale.
But by invoking the terms of paragraph 13 of the league's constitution, they're setting themselves up for a serious, prolonged court battle with the famously litigious Sterling. It's a fight Sterling is looking for and may even relish, even if he has little chance of winning, telling Fox News' Jim Gray, "The Clippers are not for sale."

Let me start by saying that I often like "Smash." Sure, it's soapy in spots. And it has moments that are way too "Glee," including last night's bowling-alley dance. But I have liked the way it has tried to show that putting on a musical, or any play, is hard work, with lots of missteps, personal conflict, revisions, changes -- and searching for money. Some of the best stuff in the show has involved the longing for money, although part of the effectiveness may stem from having Anjelica Huston in the chase.
But I am wondering whether last night's episode marked a change in the show's direction, or a reassertiion of what it wants to be. On the one hand, there was the attempt to de-soap it a bit, by trying to put an end to the storyline about Julia's affair (although the promos for the next episode indicate we're not done with the consequences).To read more or comment...
It was a surprising thing last night, when Len on "Dancing With the Stars" admitted -- a week late -- that he had "undermarked" the Green Bay Packers' Donald Driver on his dance a week ago.
Readers of my Twitter/Facebook notes on the show know that I thought Driver was one of the best dancers of that night (I'd have had him and Jaleel White at the top of my leaderboard) but the judges had been far less enthusiastic, not only in giving Driver modest scores but overscoring dancers who didn't seem that good. Katherine, the "classical singer," had gotten considerable praise for what struck me as a fairly routine dance that seemed aimed at the judges love of so-called elegance. That the judges missed Driver's skill was bad enough. Even worse was that, after Len's acknowledgment of misjudgment a week ago, they still collectively gave Driver 24 (three 8's) this week after given wildly higher marks to the likes of Roshon (26, on the first dance of the night no less) and Maria (25, for pete's sake). Either they don't like him, or they don't want him to win.To read more or comment...

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn't be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child? Introducing brainwave optimization technology. A fast, effective, natural, and less expensive way to allow your child's brain to make the optimizing changes it desires to make---on its own! Without any external force, opinion, medication, diagnostic, etc. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com or 877-606-6161.

I am a family therapist. I work with young children, but when I do, I work with the whole family. My experience is both that when young children are having problems it is often related to family issues, and that with young children it is important for their parents to be the people who are learning to help them with their issues on an ongoing basis. As a family therapist I would say that there are some sorts of issues where individual therapy makes sense for a 14 year old, but I don't think that individual therapy makes sense for a 5 year old or a 7 year old.

When children have problems, those problems are directly related to their relationship with their parents. Hence, my approach to working with children is to work with the whole family. If a child is acting up at school, he generally has parents who are, often unintentionally, not giving him what he needs at home. All parents want to believe that they are good parents, and it is hard for them to accept that they may be doing things that are causing their children to have problems. My job is to gently and patiently create a constructive atmosphere and honest communication between parents and children, which help the children resolve their problems and learn to thrive.

Young children are not little adults but yet they are whole people. Children process things differently but also exhibit good resilience in many situations. In working with young children, it is especially important to work with them where they are at and in ways that allow them to relate tot he journey that is being made. When this is successful, the child not only is able to find wholeness and peace in the present but have a firm foundation for finding this in the future. A dimension of working with a child is working with the adults that are significant in that child's life. Christopher looks forward to this journety together with you.

As a licensed family therapist, a former elementary school teacher and having raised a family, I have devotion and experience in addressing the needs of children. When parents contact me to provide therapy or anger management for their young children, I respond by bringing the parent or family into treatment as well. While I provide therapy for teens as individuals, I provide parenting skill therapy, explore educational concerns and offer family counseling as treatment to address the child's issues.

I am knowledgeable about young children, as I have a doctorate in child psychology. I am happy to advise or help parents with young children, who are taking a little longer to potty train, having a lot of tantrums, bedwetting, falling behind in school, may have a learning disability. I work closely with the parents, and in many cases would not treat the child directly. I usually focus on and get to know the parent, how I can best support them as a parent, as a spouse, and as a person in the world.

Unwittingly, young children often become the center of conflict by appropriating the burdens of each family member and acting out the family issues. This leads to significantly disruptive behavior at school and home. The solution is to approach families, home life and school life as connected systems. Together, we can uncover and unpack the interwoven pressures and forces that shape our children in unhealthy ways to find positive alternatives to create peaceful and productive growth for everyone.

Anger, anxiety, school refusal, trauma, OCD, performance anxiety, social anxiety, separation anxiety, defiance, eating disorders, and even depression and self-injury are all areas of focus in our work with children. Our clinicians are well trained and understand how critical effective intervention as early as possible is, since children are forming behavioral patterns, relationships, and personality traits. We also understand how important the role of the parents and the entire family can be in supporting a child to change. Likewise, we recognize how much the entire family can benefit from experiencing the child's growth.

Like adults, a child's behavior can change when (s)he is feeling stressed out. Common symptoms are suddenly seeming withdrawn, worried, stressed, sulky or tearful. Therapy can help kids improve their problem-solving skills and also teach them the value of seeking help. The kinds of problems that are addressed include: school stress (homework, bullying or peer pressure), family issues (parents fighting, impending divorce or other transitions like a loss, move or serious illness). If you feel your child might have an emotional or behavioral problem or needs help coping with a difficult life event, trust your instincts and call for a consultation.

Except for truly special needs children, I find most of the work I do helping a family with a young child will involve the family. It's very hard to hear from a therapist that you may have to adjust how things happen at home. What does some therapist know about that child you've been living with, you may find yourself resentfully wondering. But hang on, take a breath, and give it a try. Sometimes the simplest answers are all that's needed. By way of example, take a look at that British nanny currently on the reality show circuit; such simple solutions, and such dramatic changes. With more complex problems, make sure you've gotten a clear diagnosis. Too many children are misdiagnosed.

The most malleable of us all. Therefore, that segment of our society that can be most easily molded, sculpted. Since the sculptist is almost always the parents their cooperation in the therapy process cannot be emphasized enough. They are makers or breakers of it. That is why the creation of a trusting alliance with them is critical. However, respecting the boundaries and confidentiality too of the child's work (therapy) with myself. The child is allowed to express, within reason, their individuality. Encouragement is given for adaptive risk-taking and self-soothing mechanisms. I create, a safe, predictable, environment.

Key Republican: No, there's no 'zero option' Afghan withdrawal plan
So is the New York Times right that President Barack Obama is increasingly looking at the "zero option" for Afghanistan, opting not to leave any residual American force in the war-torn country after combat troops leave at the end of 2014?
On Tuesday, the White House offered a coy mmmmmmaybe. A top Republican lawmaker responded with a resounding no way.
The Times precipitated the latest curious discussion of how the president will end America's longest war with a report Monday that cited anonymous officials (not necessarily Americans) as saying that Obama -- spurred on by increasing exasperation with his Afghan counterpart, Hamid Karzai -- was looking to speed up the withdrawal and increasingly looking at the "zero option."
Key bit: "There's always been a zero option, but it was not seen as the main option," said a senior Western official in Kabul. "It is now becoming one of them, and if you listen to some people in Washington, it is maybe now being seen as a realistic path."
The White House had said openly in January that Obama might adopt the "zero option." On a Jan. 8 conference call with reporters, Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes described it as "an option that we would consider."
And it's always been on the table anyway, at least since the collapse of U.S. negotiations with Iraq's government about basing Americans on that country's soil left Obama no choice but to pull out completely. So American officials always knew it was a possibility in Afghanistan.
So why now? The Times reported that "[t]alks between the United States and Afghanistan over a long-term security deal have faltered in recent months over the Afghan government's insistence that the United States guarantee Afghanistan's security and, in essence, commit to declaring Pakistan the main obstacle in the fight against militancy in the region."
White House press secretary Jay Carney played down the report without really denying it. Sure, he told reporters at his daily briefing, "We have made clear that the options that are available include the zero option, the so-called zero option." But "this is not a decision that's imminent," he said several times.
Is the Obama-Karzai relationship on the rocks? "We've had disagreements in the past, and we'll have them in the future, there's no question," Carney said. "But the core agreement here is on a future in Afghanistan that is stable and democratic and secure."
Still, the spokesman's comments at times seemed calibrated to fuel the speculation.
"The residual force -- and whether there is one -- will depend on our negotiations with the Afghans and on our assessment of the best way to achieve our policy objectives," he said. " Those objectives may be met by a residual force of U.S. troops in Afghanistan or they may be met through other means. I mean, there are other ways to train and equip security forces and there are other ways, obviously, to continue our efforts against remnants of al Qaeda."

Oxford Dictionary May Tweak Definition of Marriage
(NEWSER) – Conservatives have been warning for years that gay couples were trying to "redefine" marriage—and now they may literally have. The Oxford English Dictionary has announced that it will be reviewing its definition of marriage, which currently refers to "a formal union of a man and a woman," the Oxford University Press tells the Gay Star News. The move comes as gay marriage is now legalin the OED's native Britain.

Videos on memory of witnesses may throw wrench in Zimmerman trial
(Jonathon M. Seidl) Eyewitness testimony. Those two words are usually a slam-dunk when brought up at trial. But what if eyewitness testimony was as useless as a screen door on a submarine? What if the words "eyewitness testimony" conjure more concern than hope?
According to a TV show recently re-aired on the National Geographic channel and forensic psychology expert Scott Fraser's research, we should not be putting as much stock in eyewitness testimony as you may think. And in fact, that caution could help shed some light on the George Zimmerman trial.
"Each time you revisit a memory, the pathways between [your neurons] are rewired, altering the brain physically, and the memory chemically, until ultimately we believe that which we remember to be true," the narrator says in an episode of the show "Brain Games" that aired in the fall of 2012 but aired again over the weekend.
In other words, your memories aren't as reliable as you think they are.

New Grateful Dead album features 'lost' material from 1970
Listen to Grateful Dead on iHeartRadio
A recently discovered live Grateful Dead recording is headed to stores.
JamBands.com says back in April 1970 the iconic band performed at the Great Highway in San Francisco, under the lengthy pseudonym Mickey Hart and His Heartbeats and Bobby Ace and His Cards from the Bottom of the Deck.
The group turned in 17 songs in their 80-minute performance. Their show included a mix of originals, traditionals, and cover tunes, including "Friend of the Devil," "I Know You Rider," and "Wake Up Little Susie." Band member Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, who died in 1973, closed the show with a six-song solo acoustic set.
Family Dog at the Great Highway, San Francisco, CA 4/18/70 will be released as a limited edition two-disc vinyl album at participating outlets on Friday, November 29th, for Record Store Day's Black Friday event. The material will also be available as a CD through Dead.net.

Inside the world of Hillary superfans
One sees them whenever Hillary Clinton arrives in town. Without the means to afford the often hefty ticket price to see her speak, they stand outside with homemade signs, chanting, "Hil-Lar-Ree!" They have replaced the background photograph on their Twitter profile to a simple picture of the former first lady; their bio lists Hillary Clinton alongside their favorite sports teams. For seven years, they have tracked her every move on social media. And the moment Hillary Clinton shoots the starter pistol on the 2016 campaign, they will leave behind jobs, families, and responsibilities, and go where she needs them.
To be clear, these aren't the operatives and fundraisers and Clintonistas and Friends of Bill who are already hosting high-dollar fundraisers or angling for administration jobs. Some of them are, by their own admission, apolitical. But in Hillary Clinton they feel something beyond the usual kinship with a political figure who shares their ideas. It is more like a spiritual connection, one they describe in near-rapturous terms.
"I was never political whatsoever, like at all, but I always loved Hillary Clinton, and I always said that if she was ever going to run for president, I was going to do whatever I could to make that happen," said Gretchen Baer, a 50-year-old artist from Brisbee, Arizona.
In 2008, that meant buying a number of Clinton's famous pantsuits, on which Baer stenciled portraits of the candidate, "à la Andy Warhol," and wore every day for months, she said. It meant making a "HillCar," an art car covered with Clinton portraits, and traveling around the country like, she acknowledges, a Deadhead, to meet Clinton ahead of her campaign stops.
In 2016, Baer is thinking about hitting the road again, enlisting a team of artists to create their own HillCars, so that a brigade of cars, each with Clinton's smiling face plastered on the hood, can greet the campaign wherever it goes.
If that sounds like devotion, consider the case of Aaron Darr, who pretty much ran away from his Ohio home at the age of 16 to volunteer for the Clinton campaign in 2008. Now he sports a tattoo of Clinton's name in elegant script on his waist.
"It always reminds me of why I got into politics in the first place. She changed my life," Darr said by phone from Florida, where he was laying the groundwork for his own run for office. "I think she just genuinely cares about people. She understands people's struggles, and people understand that she understands."
Darr is not the only Clintonista with Hillary ink. Luis Salgado, a 34-year-old tattoo artist now living in Kissimmee, Florida, got Clinton's face on his upper thigh in 2008.
"I have a leg full of face tattoos, and she is just one of the people that inspired me," he said, pointing out that Clinton's visage was jostling for space with Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando. "I think she is great. She is a young woman for young women, and our country needs someone like her."
Next consider the blogger who, for professional reasons, asked to be identified only by her blog name, "Still4Hill," and who since 2008 has tracked Clinton news obsessively online, sometimes spending as much as five or six hours a day on it, writing up Clinton's public appearances and rebutting the secretary of state's negative press while working full time.
Still4Hill, who described her age as "baby boomer," said it was the 2008 campaign that sparked her devotion.
"I was listening to her speeches and her debates, and everything she said stuck a chord with me," the blogger said. "If she was running for class president when we were in school, I would have worked hard for her. When she suspended her campaign, that was when I started the blog. I was disappointed. I was lonely. I just wanted to start writing about her."

(Pittsburgh, PA) -- Freshman Tyler Ennis drained a three-pointer from 35-feet away at the buzzer as top-ranked Syracuse pulled out a 58-56 win over 23rd-ranked Pittsburgh at the Petersen Events Center. C.J. Fair netted 14 points and Ennis ended with 13 for the Orange, who improved to 24-and-0 on the year and 11-and-0 in the ACC. Trevor Cooney chipped in with 11 points in the victory. Talib Zanna drained a pair of free throws with 4.4-seconds left that put Pitt up 56-55. Zanna had 16 points and 14 rebounds, while Lamar Patterson added 14 points for the Panthers, who fell to 20-and-5 and 8-and-4.

Best Of :: People & Places
There's nary a place to rest your weary feet except for a few concrete stools on the smokers' patio, and you'll probably have to find parking on the other side of the Mill Avenue Bridge, but if you want to see the bands with the biggest buzz, you'll be coming to the Marquee Theatre. Many of the shows sell out, so it's wise to get tickets in advance. You might have to stand shoulder to shoulder with sweaty fellow fans to see a hot headliner like Nine Inch Nails, but think about it this way: The atmosphere is downright intimate compared to the amphitheaters where these bands could just as easily perform. It takes patience, but if you want to get up front -- or even just comfortably close -- it's not out of the question at the Marquee.
Lord almighty, we feel our temperature rising, especially when Mesa resident and diehard Elvis Presley fan Duke Hicks takes to the stage and unleashes his realistic reproduction of the legendary superstar. Having offered up his Elvis imitation act for more than two decades, this delivery man and part-time country musician is arguably one of the longest-lasting King clones in the Valley. He's been seen at a plethora of private parties, countless corporate functions, a regular gig at Philly's (a bar-restaurant in south Scottsdale), as well as at the Frontier Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, where Hicks says he nabbed "a rousing standing ovation" following his performance. (He's even set to star in an upcoming documentary on Elvis impersonators titled Heart of the King.) Aping what he calls "classic Elvis" (a.k.a. the skinnier, non-drug-addled version), Hicks dons a sequin-studded white jumpsuit and the King's trademark shades and croons his way through an eerily accurate rendition of Elvis' repertoire, which encompasses more than 50 songs -- from chartbusters like "Burning Love" to more subdued numbers like "You'll Never Walk Alone." Hicks admits he may have to let out his costume in the near future, as -- just like his hero -- he's developing "a little bit of a paunch." Just stay away from the pills, Duke.
Even if you ain't got big chips, there are places -- especially in Scottsdale -- where it will behoove you to act as if you do, and the J Bar is one of them. This super-slinky waterin' hole packs in the booful people on peak nights Thursdays through Saturdays, and the high-class chicas therein can smell a scrub coming from a mile away. So let us school you on how to act like you're a playa, even if your ride is a Hyundai. First, the swagger. You gotta be cocky, and a little snooty. Turn up your nose at the finest-lookin' ho's in the room; after all, it's their job to get next to you. As far as garb goes, tinted glasses are mandatory, and shabby chic always works. Wear your best shiny shirt right out of the package with a pair of your most raggedy jeans. This tells the ladies that you're rockin' so much dolo that you can afford to be lazy. Don't wash your hair for a day, then mousse it all up into spikes. And stop by the men's counter at a department store to spray on a sample of its most expensive cologne. Finally, if you don't have a gold card to throw out at the bartender, prepare a thick cash roll of mostly ones with two C-notes on top. You'll only break the first one, but the bitches' eyes will pop when they see you break out that wad. Then nurse one, maybe two martinis with your wing man and wait for the honeys to beat a path to your studliness. Yeah, baby, there's nothing like the life of a $30,000-a-year millionaire at the J Bar.
Okay, so you're no Marilyn Monroe. Neither are we. But that doesn't mean you don't deserve a little wind up your skirt once in a while, honey. Casino Arizona -- and we're not talking about that big tent off Indian Bend Road, we mean the nice building farther south on the 101 -- has six lounges, three restaurants, keno, 50 blackjack tables and almost 1,000 slots (and we hear pai gow poker could be on the way). The thing we like best about Casino Arizona is the air-conditioning system that blows from the ground up, dispersing cigarette smoke and, as a side bonus, sending a breeze your way, if you know what we mean.
Settle down, big spender. Just because the bank account is down for the count (and the casino has already cut up your Visa), don't go home just yet. You need cash in a flash -- but wanna avoid turning tricks in the parking lot -- so head for one of ZLB's two locations. Presuming you're drug- and disease-free, have strong veins in each arm, lack any recent tattoos or piercings, and can keep quiet about all your illicit trysts, you'll be getting some blood money. In exchange for a few hours -- where you can watch movies or converse with other hard-up homies -- and 880 milliliters of plasma (the protein-rich liquid part of your blood), ZLB's phlebotomists will cough up $25 for your very first visit, and $40 for your second (you'll get $20 and $30 for following weeks thereafter, respectively). Forget about a repeat bloodletting feat, though, as every plasma bank in the Valley has a 24-hour recovery period, cross-donating is verboten, and you can only get pricked twice in a seven-day period. It's not a fistful of C-notes, but at least you can get a couple more go-rounds at the $5 blackjack tables.
Everyone worships the good Lord in his or her own way. On Fridays, Muslims hit the mosque, and on Saturdays, Jews go a-synagoguing. Christians of many denominations make Sunday their day of prayer, and we fall into this category, although our chapel, if you will, is Shepherd's Nite Club, where communion is in the form of a Jack 'n' Coke, and baptism is referred to as "Super Soak-Her," a wet-tee-shirt contest like no other in our Valley of the Sin, uh, we mean, Sun. Here hot amateur gals and some off-duty pros get nearly nekkid for Jehovah, allowing gallons of very cold H2O to be poured all over their skimpy tops and thongs. That's when the Holy Ghost takes control, inspiring these heavenly honeys to crawl all over the men in the congregation, and minister to them in a religious fervor known to perform miracles such as raising the dead and making the blind see! Indeed, we like to think if Jesus comes again, he'll mosey on over to Shepherd's for a cocktail and gander at all this piety on display. After all, there's no cover, and it beats Bible study, that's for damn sure.
