My Two Cents: How I Saved Enough Money To Move Abroad
I am essentially living my dream—seven months ago, I packed up my life in New York and decided to move to Paris for a year. I get a lot of "How did you do it?" questions from people with similar aspirations, all of whom seem to think that moving abroad was a whimsical decision I made in a week. Not the case—planning such an endeavor took months, not just to sort out logistics, but also to save money. Lots of it.
Thinking about ex-pat life? Here are some tips to save and manage your money to make it possible, plus things to consider once you make the jump.
Make sure you have lots of money – and time.
First, the harsh reality: you will need twice the amount of money you think you need, and twice the amount of time to get it all together (unless you're super lucky and have landed yourself some cushy job overseas where your company is taking care of your relocation costs). Taking on this type of adventure is a great thing to do when you're young, because chances are you won't be able to contribute to any long-term savings plans while you're living your dream. That might be a downside, but the upside of being young is being able to live on the cheap. It depends on how expensive your city of choice is, but a good goal would be to amass at least $10,000 before you go.
The easiest way to reach such a goal is to stay in your job, but drastically cut down on your expenses. Some ways I did this:
- Live rent-free or move to the boonies. I moved in with my parents for six months, and just barely survived. But now I'm miles away, so it evens out. This is really the most important money-saving step you can take.
- Strip down your life to the bare minimum. This means downgrading your phone plan, living without cable, and canceling your gym membership.
- Stop one-off purchases at H&M.
- Never, ever take a cab.
- Reduce your social activity. You're leaving anyhow, right? This is not to say don't go out at all, but maybe skip dinner with the girls and meet them after for a drink. Opt for beer and wine instead of a cocktail. Socialize more at your own home or friends' houses. Have a drink at home before you go out, so you buy fewer.
- Of course, if you can, find more work—freelance gigs, weekend jobs—to add to your income.
Consider the financial situation of your future home country.
When thinking about how you'll manage abroad, consider two things. First, how strong or weak is the dollar in your country of choice? You might find it shocking to learn that the dollar to euro exchange has been as high as 1.5 this year. So make sure to convert your calculations into the correct currency. Second, can you maintain a lifestyle in a different country that's financially similar to your life now? Meaning, can you pay the same (or less) in rent? How much will your bills run per month? Get nit-picky with it. Excel is your friend.
Realize that securing a job/source of income may be tricky.
You must consider what you will do for money when you're abroad, because you've got to pay the bills somehow. Landing a job can be tough as an American citizen because companies often have to jump through hoops (expensive ones) to sponsor you for a work visa. However, if you're between the ages of 18 and 30 and wish to live in the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, or Canada, there's a beautiful permit called the Working Holiday Scheme, which basically allows young people to work legally for a year while floundering about, with "employment being an incidental rather than a primary reason for the visit."
You may also be eligible to apply for study grants. Research if the country of your choice offers grants for American citizens wishing to research their culture. Check embassy websites. Teaching English is a popular option that many people use as a vehicle to simply get them to the place of their choice. Many of these state-sponsored programs equip you with a visa and a stipend that will cover half of your costs. Becoming an au pair is another option. Grad school can be far less expensive abroad through a public university (although as a foreigner you will pay more than residents). Do you have a job now that would allow you to work from home? What kind of work could you do under the table?
Don't forget health care issues.
Consider what health care will be available to you while living abroad. Your visa may require you to be on a health care program in the U.S., but in Europe, for example, out-of-pocket treatment is generally quite reasonable. Can you downgrade your U.S. health care coverage? On a similar note, if you take prescription meds, it's a good idea to find out if they're even available where you're going, how easy they are to get, and how much they cost. Otherwise, you can file a vacation override request with your insurance company that equips you with a three-month supply of your meds.
Know your visa's terms and restrictions.
Hopefully, you have a visa. Depending on where you are, going without is doable but increasingly risky. That whole "just leave the country every three months" has been known to backfire horrifically. You will probably have to first pay an application fee. Once you arrive abroad, you may have to make your visa official, which means paying a tax. In France, this could be anywhere from 80 to 300 euros.
Look out for hidden fees!
Hidden fees everywhere! Apartment insurance — really? Apparently that's mandatory in France. Banking requires diligence as well. Find out which banks have relationships with your home bank so you can avoid ATM fees. You may also accrue fees for using your debit card in stores. I recommend looking into youth discounts. In France, even if you're not a student, but under the age of 25, you can get a discount card that will save you loads on travel and all sorts of random things.

Breaking Away: Super Tuesday Fallout
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: For an assessment of Campaign '96 to date, we're joined by syndicated columnist Mark Shields and "Wall Street Journal" columnist Paul Gigot. Welcome, both of you. You've heard Pat Buchanan say that Forbes dropping out leaves it a two-person race and a battle for the soul of the Republican Party. Is that what Forbes dropping out will mean?
MARK SHIELDS, Syndicated Columnist: It means it is a two-way race, there's no doubt it, Elizabeth, but I think Pat Buchanan was trying to cast that as future against past. It's–you heard early echoes of what the Clinton folks are going to try and do against Bob Dole in the Fall, if, in fact, he is the nominee, as I think we both expect he will be.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: What do you mean?
MR. SHIELDS: Well, in other words, they'll try–that Pat Buchanan's implicit argument is Bob Dole is yesterday, our movement is tomorrow, and Bill Clinton will be our, our generation, his is a wonderful generation to whom we're grateful, we're appreciative, but now it's time to move on, and I think that he–you'll be hearing sort of bookend arguments on the Republican challenger to Dole from the Democratic incumbent.
PAUL GIGOT, Wall Street Journal: In terms of the nomination, this is a race between Bob Dole and Bob Dole. I mean, Pat Buchanan isn't going to win it. But Pat Buchanan has always been in this not just to have a chance at winning. In fact, I think the victory in New Hampshire surprised him, and he began to think after that that he really might win, and that's why some of the defeats later were real blows. But he's always been in this for another reason, which is to emerge as "the" spokesman for the conservative wing of the Republican Party. He wants to change the Republican Party. He wasn't happy with the majority coalition that won Congress in '94. He wants to change it, willing to throw out some of those elitists, he says, some of those economic conservatives, to bring in some social conservatives and bring an appeal, he hopes, to AFL-CIO Democrats, union members. I think it's a very iffy proposition, but that's why he's in this. He's a conviction politician.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Okay. Before we go into more depth about that, why do you think Steve Forbes is pulling out?
MR. GIGOT: Because he wasn't going to–because $10 million, which is what it would have taken to spend in California–is an awful lot of money to spend to make a point and not have a chance at the nomination. I mean, it really–doing as poorly as he did, he didn't have a chance, and I think he's doing the right thing.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: How much do you think it helps Dole?
MR. SHIELDS: I don't know if it helps Dole. I think that it's a time with Steve Forbes pulling out tomorrow to reflect upon what it's like running for President. Everybody who runs for President has generally reached a level of success and accomplishment in politics, of private life, that enables him to do so, and most people who run for President obviously lose, and there is no experience more publicly painful or painfully public than running for President and losing. For Steve Forbes, it's doubly difficult because he had the–he had the exhilaration. He had the adrenaline high of winning. He won in Arizona. It's one thing to lose and lose a series of primaries and just get out of the race, which is painful in itself, but once you try and rekindle, recapture, exactly after Pat Buchanan in New Hampshire or Alaska, you, you say, gee, the crowds get bigger, they get more enthusiastic, then you have the string of defeats, and it's really tough. And I think it's a time to be gentle with people who, who are leaving, and you realize you're not going to rekindle and recapture what you had.
MR. GIGOT: Let me say something about Steve Forbes, because I think that one thing he did do in this race is he put ideas on the table, and for all the talk about his money, it was his own money, and he was willing to invest that in what was always a long shot proposition, and he put the growth agenda, the tax-cutting, Reaganite optimistic message back in the Republican Party, when I don't think he–if he had not run, it would not have been on the table, because nobody else was taking it. That's the vacuum he sought to fill, and really, if Bob Dole now wants to take that message, he can take that once Forbes leaves the race and run with it himself, some version of it, not the pure flat tax necessarily, but some version of it, and use it as an antidote to Pat Buchanan and frankly, against Bill Clinton in November.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: So do you disagree with Pat Buchanan when he says, he said, "Our agenda is the agenda driving the nation and the party," referring to his own agenda?
MR. GIGOT: I think there's no question that Pat Buchanan has driven the social agenda in this campaign. I think that he can say with good justification that he is going to prevent any change in the platform on abortion at the Republican Convention, but I think that as regards to trade protection, for example, and the trade issue, I think that's been repudiated in the primaries. That's not driving anybody, and as regards his economic diagnosis has, the anxiety that people feel, he's put that on the table, but the solutions, that debate has still to be fought out in years to come.
MR. SHIELDS: I think that Pat Buchanan deserves enormous credit in an under-financed campaign, an overlooked campaign, a much disparaged campaign. He has put front and center the economic anxiety and the question of corporations that are consistently putting profits before people, and I think Pat Buchanan has made that case, he's made it compellingly, and others are parroting what he said.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: And what stands out in the results yesterday, in your view, about Dole's strength and weaknesses–
MR. SHIELDS: Well, I think–
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: –and including vis-a-vis Buchanan and his agenda?
MR. SHIELDS: There's no question. I mean, it was a sweeping victory for Bob Dole. It was politically, psychologically, arithmetically, any way you want to look at it, it was a sweeping victory. The Republican Party has come to an apparent consensus in state after state that Bob Dole is the nominee, and this race in most cases is over unless something happens to Bob Dole, or he does something to himself or makes a mistake, or Pat Buchanan can spring the upset somewhere, but he, he's starting to reassemble the Republican constituency. He still has a problem in reaching out, in my judgment, to what is a winning constituency so far, but he's got time, and the earlier–the problem with Pat Buchanan still being in the race for Bob Dole is this. Pat Buchanan is a phrase maker who is without peers, and when he calls Bob Dole a beltway bomb, a bellhop for the Business Roundtable, that stuff hurts, and it lasts. But it lasts. I mean, there's no about it.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Do you think that Pat Buchanan staying in the race will determine or p lay a big role in determining Sen. Dole's choice of a running mate?
MR. GIGOT: I think it is the one area of leverage, if you will, that Pat Republican has that can give Bob Dole trouble, and particularly on the question of Colin Powell. There's a big debate, ferocious, behind-the-scenes debate going on among Republicans about whether Colin Powell should be on the ticket. Most of it's speculative because it'll be decided in the end by Bob Dole and Colin Powell. But Pat Buchanan raises the threat of a potential third party run if he would do something like that, and that creates difficulty for the nominee, there's no question about it.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: And the results yesterday did show some weaknesses for Bob Dole.
MR. GIGOT: Well–
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: He didn't do great among young voters, for example.
MR. GIGOT: Bob Dole's great strength yesterday was that, as Mark pointed out, he appealed to the breadth of the Republican coalition. He's somebody who can bring in the social right and the economic right, women, men. Older people went for him in much bigger numbers. I think he got two out of every three votes of people over 60. He's had a problem in the primaries with people under 44. He only got one out of every two of those votes, and you have to wonder if that is an implicit acknowledgement that the age issue is a problem not in the sense that he can't do the job but that somehow younger voters don't quite identify with him, and that's why I think you see the President and Al Gore appear in their work shirts and in computers and schools. They're trying to draw that comparison.
MR. SHIELDS: Last night, you'll notice, though, in his victory statement, he had young people, real young people standing–not sort of those Nixon, youth for Nixon types, with the perfect blond hair and blue eyes, but I mean they looked like real high school kids.
MR. GIGOT: Sure.
MR. SHIELDS: And they didn't have the blue suits. He's had too many blue suits behind him throughout this campaign. So I think that was an acknowledgement of the problem that we're discussing.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Okay. That's all the time we have tonight. Thank you both.

Charles Schwab — the man behind the company — believes 98% of us are meant to invest in index funds, whether through ETFs or mutual funds.
Why, exactly? Because it takes the emotion out of investing.
Schwab recently discussed index investing in a 19-page paper put out by the Schwab Center for Financial Research. Interestingly, he finds favor with active management when market conditions are the most volatile and investors seek to gain downside protection.
That's because actively managed ETFs can buy defensively or go to cash reducing losses while preserving capital — index funds can't.
Choosing the right active manager is far easier when it comes to mutual funds than ETFs, though. According to Olly Ludwig of ETF Report, there are 85 actively managed ETFs in the U.S. at the moment compared to several thousand mutual funds. Heck, Morningstar keeps track of 179 mutual fund companies, more than double the total number of actively managed ETFs in existence.
But good actively managed ETFs do exist. Here are my three favorites:

6th Year
I may have missed it, but I do not recall that 6rh year students were taught to make Veritaserum. Slughorn said "These are the kind of thing you ought to be able to make after completing your N.E.W.T.s.", but he never said that they would be making it during a lesson. As an analogy, a chemistry major would have the skill to make synthetic narcotics, but that does not mean it would ever be part of a laboratory assignment, for obvious reasons. Given the fact that Veritaserum is strictly regulated, it is unlikely that this would ever be part of a lesson due to the danger of a student covertly obtaining some - as Malfoy in fact did with the Polyjuice potion.

December 12, 2011 — The University of Virginia and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation have established a unique partnership for collaborative, graduate-level training and research aimed at developing conservation professionals to tackle some of the biggest conservation problems facing the nation.
A non-profit organization created by Congress in 1984, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation directs public conservation funding to pressing conservation needs and matches these with private funds to protect and restore America's native wildlife species and habitats. It is among the nation's largest conservation organizations; since 1984 it has made 11,000 awards to more than 3,800 organizations, investing more than $2 billion for conservation. In its new "Keystone" program, the foundation has pioneered a "business plan" approach that clarifies outcomes, obstacles, performance measures and costs; initial data from Keystone projects indicates the great potential of this approach.
U.Va. and the foundation are collaborating on an applied conservation science program to assess a wide range of strategies for preserving biodiversity in threatened habitats, identify knowledge gaps and institutional barriers for more effective solutions, and design programs that take into consideration accelerating climate and environmental change and population growth. The program will feature courses jointly taught by U.Va. faculty members and foundation staff, summer internships for U.Va. students at foundation project sites, and a new master's degree program.
"This partnership will be transformative for both institutions," said National Fish and Wildlife Foundation board member Paul Tudor Jones, a 1976 U.Va. alumnus and major benefactor of the University. "NFWF will now have a world-class research capability to better help preserve America's natural resources, and the University of Virginia will be aiding real-time conservation measures to save our fish, wildlife and fauna for future generations.
"It is a synergistic marriage that has Mother Nature smiling."
U.Va. President Teresa A. Sullivan said, "Collaboration is essential to solving today's most important social and environmental challenges. At the heart of this new effort is an authentic collaboration between partners who share a passion for excellence – and the outcomes will greatly enhance the preservation of our natural world."
In a series of intensive planning sessions undertaken over the summer and fall, U.Va. faculty members and foundation scientists and project managers identified complementary strengths and interests. For the two institutions, collaboration provides distinctive resources and accelerates innovation, said Thomas C. Skalak, U.Va. vice president for research. He noted that this outward-looking strategy will distinguish U.Va.'s University-wide sustainability initiative.
"This NFWF-U.Va. partnership exemplifies the benefits of cross-sector collaboration," Skalak said. "In responding to real-world problems, we apply and combine our discipline-based skills in new ways, and in that process we find new opportunities for breakthroughs in basic research. These exchanges are fundamental to the vitality of our institution, and collaborations with high-quality external partners, such as this one with NFWF, will be a hallmark of the pan-University sustainability initiative that U.Va. is now developing."
Claude Gascon, chief science officer and executive vice president at NFWF, said, "This collaboration will ensure that NFWF has access to the best scientists to focus on the most pressing and important conservation challenges facing the U.S. today. The matching of U.Va. scientists and NFWF conservationists will link conservation science to action in the field and help save the nation's fish and wildlife treasures for generations to come."
The first jointly taught course on biodiversity conservation science and policy are being offered during U.Va.'s spring 2012 semester. Forty students are enrolled – eight from the School of Law and 16 each from the departments of Environmental Sciences and Biology in the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. Students will work in multi-disciplinary teams, using six foundation projects as case studies. These projects represent a wide range of conservation challenges, including marine and coastal to grasslands and forest habitats and species whose continued survival is an indicator of ecosystem sustainability.
Next summer, 10 U.Va. students will be selected for paid internships at National Fish and Wildlife Foundation project sites, where they will have the opportunity to learn firsthand about the environmental, institutional, economic and social factors associated with conservation practice. For the fall semester, five students will receive fellowships to address science and policy questions whose answers can strengthen conservation practice and improve conservation outcomes.
Details for the summer internship and fellowship selection process will be announced in early January. The program has been funded for three years, with the possibility of renewal.
U.Va. faculty members involved in the collaboration include environmental sciences professors Howie Epstein, Karen McGlathery, Hank Shugart and Dave Smith, and environmental law professors Jon Cannon and Leon Szeptycki. They and their students will work with foundation staff members who specialize in marine, bird and fish conservation, as well as biodiversity monitoring, assessment and conservation.
As the program develops, other U.Va. faculty members and foundation staff will be added, particularly in economics, the humanities and social sciences, and social psychology.
"The challenge is to allow students to appreciate the depth of information needed to maintain healthy wild populations of important species of animals and their habitats, and, at the same time, gain a real-world impression of the complicated interface between law, policy, ecology and the environmental understanding needed for the sustainable management of biotic diversity," Shugart said. "The program could potentially develop a new type of scholar – different from the specialists educated in a discipline who were the norm for an earlier generation of students."
"The opportunity for law students to work with scientists is a new and critically important piece of their training," Szeptycki noted. "This partnership will be for our students a whole different way of thinking about environmental protection. Lawyers, especially environmental lawyers, work with scientists and scientific materials on an almost everyday basis, and it is something that is usually left completely out of legal training. Now our faculty and students will be working with NFWF staff to help identify approaches that actually work on the ground."

You may not have heard of them, but the Bradford Group (and its various brands) has been making legacy-quality Star Trek collectibles for years. Over the next couple of weeks TrekMovie will be reviewing their latest offerings which are perfect gifts for dads and grads. Today we start with the Hamilton USS Enterprise NCC 1701 D Laser Etched Glass Statue, and the Guardians of the Federation Collection Figurines.
Hamilton Collection Collectible Enterprise D Glass Statue
Measuring 3-5/8″ tall, 7-3/8″ wide, the first thing that is noticeable about the glass block is how heavy it is, revealing its quality. Bradford Group items are meant as legacy products, meaning that while they are usually not cheap in price, neither are they cheap in construction and are meant to last a long time. Both the display base and glass block are well designed.
Laser etched glass Enterprise D with lights off and on
Almost a million laser points are used to etch the three dimensional image of the Enterprise D into the middle of the optically pure glass. Fans could see in and through the ship, studying its detailing including the Captain's Yacht and main bridge which are discernable in the image. Each statue includes a Starfleet base that lights up the Enterprise D giving it the appearance of being suspended in the glass and providing a very beautiful item to enjoy. The photos do not really show how cool this effect is, including the fact that the name of the ship itself is dimensional. You could run the lights either with the included adaptor or by your own AA batteries.
Included with the display, statue, and adaptor is a certificate of authenticity which is hand numbered the same as the number on the display bottom. To further make these items collectible, these are only manufactured for 95 days. These are great items for a student's desk or mom or dad's office.
However, even though there are protective pads on the bottom, its weight might leave scratch marks if you slide it across your furniture.
Base top and bottom (showing limited edition number)
The Enterprise D costs $99.95 plus shipping and is available in installment payments from the Bradford Group website
Guardians of the Federation
Ship Figurines
For those looking for a less expensive gift for themselves or others, there is the Guardians of the Federation collection of starships. Each ship in the collection is $29.95, plus shipping. You could subscribe to the entire set or just get that one favorite ship of interest. These items are 5″ tall statues that feature a pewter-like appearance (without being as bendable as pewter).
Guardians of the Federation Figurines
As of June 2009, there have been three ships in the collection. The first issue is the USS Enterprise D, the second the USS Enterprise 1701, followed by the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 C. The C is often forgotten as a collectible item and it is great that for fans of "Yesterday's Enterprise" the ship is getting some respect from the Bradford Group.
Top of the original Enterprise
These are nicely detailed and affordable statutes with hull markings and an attached display stand. Like the glass statue, these are limited to 95 production days and include a numbered certificate of authenticity. They look very nice together and make for a classy display on desks or shelves.
Subscribe to the
Star Trek: Guardians Of The Federation Starship Enterprise Figurine Collection at Collectiblestoday.com. You can also get just the first issue (U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D Figurine: Collectible Star Trek). By calling Collectibles Today at 1-877-268-6638 (the Bradford Group's online store), you could ask about ordering either the C or 1701 if you wish.

text: Hi, im new to the forum and was just wondering if anyone could diagnose my problem. i have an A3 2004 (53reg), the fan runs constantly at full pelt when im driving, the temperature gauge doesnt move from the start point and the coolant light flashes constantly (i regularly check the coolant and its always between min and max) when i say the fan is running constantly i mean it sounds like an aeroplane asif its going full blast. it does this whether or not the air conditioning is on. literally just whenever the car is going. on the rare occasion the fan will switch and run at a normal speed (not sound like an aeroplane), the temperature gauge will work and the coolant light goes off but as soon as one thing breaks again they all do so im guessing there all linked. anyone have any ideas? cheers Rory

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Gladys is from Kenya. She has 1 child. She needs a loan of $250 to expand her retail shop and purchase more stock.
Gladys is from Kenya. She has 1 child. She needs a loan of $250 to expand her retail shop and purchase more stock.
Gladys Kiptoo is a mother who lives in Kabarnet, a rural part of Kenya with her family. Gladys works hard at maintaing her retail shop in her local community. The profit she makes from this shop, helps her to provide for her family.
With a loan from World Vision, Gladys will be able to purchase more stock and expand her retail shop, which will help her to grow her business and increase her income. With the additional income, Gladys will be able provide for her family's daily needs, provide better living conditions and pay for her childs education.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs begin with stalls at markets or even at home and need a loan to expand or increase their inventory. Others may be ready to open a small store. Goods purchased from loan funds range from clothing, grocery or sundry items to jewelry, candy, perfume or health and beauty supplies. Loans in the commerce sector account for around 33% of our loans.
Kabarnet is located in Baringo District in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. It is characterized by uninhabitable desert and fertile farmland, flat arid plains and steep slopes. Rural Kenyans generally live with their extended family in a cluster of huts, which provides shelter and symbolizes the closeness of the people living there. Family members typically share work responsibilities and resources as they support themselves through farming.
Children are considered a valuable resource in Kenya. A large family means more hands to help on the farm and ensures parents will be taken care of in their old age. Education is provided by the Kenyan government for children up to age 8, however, nearly 1.7 million children do not attend school because of failing economic and social systems.
With a population nearing 75,000 and 20 percent being children under 5, access to health services is limited in Kabarnet. According to the World Health Organization, the leading causes of death among children younger than 5 are pneumonia, diarrheal diseases, HIV and AIDS, and malaria. Efforts are being made to strengthen the capacity of health workers and services. To receive care, people must travel, usually on foot, at least nine miles to the nearest health center.
In Kabarnet, World Vision also focuses on education, immunizations, HIV and AIDS prevention education, food security, and sanitation.
Thank you for supporting a small business loan for Gladys Kiptoo to expand her retail business. After receiving the loan from World Vision, she invested the $250 to purchase more stock and expand her retail shop.
Gladys has been repaying her loan on time with her new profits. She makes weekly payments of $10.
In addition to repaying her loan, Gladys is using additional income to buy supplies in bulk and pay for transportation. Gladys's child continues to study in school.
Thank you for supporting Gladys and World Vision Micro!

Death Penalty on Film: Capote (2005)
This past week, the film Capote (2005) was shown on television -- and while the name suggests that the movie covers the life of famed author Truman Capote, that's not the case. What the movie focuses upon is Capote's involvement with two men who were executed by the State of Kansas for the killings of the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas back in the late 1950s.
For those - like me - who are interested in how the death penalty is presented to America not only in the media and in our legislation but in our popular culture, I found the movie to be important.
Not only does it provide an excellent perspective on how the trial and appellate process can cover years and years as the case winds its way through both the state and federal systems, but it reveals so much about the prisoners themselves. How they spend years and years in small cells, a punishment in and of itself -- and in Perry Smith's case, the movies also gives food for thought about how a small boy could grow up to end his life by a hangman's noose.
And the execution of Perry Smith is shown in Capote. In the 1960s, Kansas still executed prisoners by hanging. You see the entirety of the process, and for those who wonder about those last moments - the film strives for accuracy. There is the harness, there is the hood placed over the prisoner's head (for the benefit of the witnesses many argue, as opposed to the condemned), there is the sound of the latch being thrown and the body falling down, swaying in the open air.
It's a memorable scene in a memorable film.
And, as for hanging as a form of capital punishment, we don't see that today. Today, only two states still allow for hanging and then, only as an option the lethal injection. (That's Delaware and Washington.)
Why not? Hanging someone to kill them is tricky business. If the state doesn't do its math right, calculating the weight of the individual and comparing it against the length of the drop and the strength of the rope, then the condemned does not die by a swift break of the neck but instead slowly suffocates -- which is said to be a very messy and painful process.
In Capote (2005), the execution goes smoothly and Truman Capote (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman) watches without a word and then walks away. Afterwards, he completes In Cold Blood -- a telling of the Clutter killings, the investigation and arrest of Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, following the judicial process through their deaths.
And, of course, In Cold Blood is a must read for those dealing with the issue of capital punishment in this country -- and watching Capote, as this important book is being created, makes you want to pull that important book off the shelf and re-read it. Which I, for one, am going to do.

The storied basketball rivalry between East Hall and Gainesville isn't going anywhere.
BUFORD - The White County girls basketball team did just about the same thing coach Buster Brown has seen it do numerous times this season: Come out flat in the first half.
OAKWOOD - If it wasn't already clear who the best team in Region 8-AAAA was, the Johnson Knights ended the discussion Thursday.
North Hall swimming coach Debby Duncan has learned her lesson.
DAWSONVILLE - With a short hook shot over a defender in the paint, Avery Cagle kept alive North Hall's shot at a No. 1 seed for the Region 7-AAA Tournament.
Last year the Chestatee wrestling team was the perennial runner-up, finishing second at the area duals tournament, the Hall County duals and the area traditional tournament.
The Chestatee wrestling team had three big goals this season.
Her team has gone through ups and downs, but West Hall girls basketball coach Lynn Jarrett can see at least one constant: Senior forward Kaelyn Gattis.
Juan Arbelaez dreamed of being a professional soccer player while watching his father, a former pro, play the game back home in Pereira, Columbia.
The Hall County Championships are getting very close to actually being a county-wide swim meet.
The North Hall basketball players found themselves in an unfamiliar position early in the fourth quarter Tuesday night.
Lakeview Academy boys basketball coach Seth Vining knows the danger of letting an opposing team hang around, especially away from home.
Chestatee coach Web Daniel knew this year could be a special one; he could see it coming.
The North Hall basketball team prides itself on playing solid defense.
Four years ago, he was T. McFerrin's top choice to coach the offensive line. When the Dragons' legendary coach retired recently, Ben Hall was also his top pick to take over at the helm.

Steamed, baked stuffed, tossed with mayo on a toasted roll. This time of year lobster is in demand from Bar Harbor to the Berwicks. But, just as ice cream flavors are getting remix ed, lobster is getting a fresh makeover. In the height of tourist season chefs from across the state are getting crafty with Maine's famed crustaceans and thinking outside the roll. Here are eight unique twists on the state's iconic shell fish.
1. The dish: Lobster dumplings, $9
The place: Empire Chinese Kitchen, 575 Congress St., Portland
The breakdown: Tender lobster meat, scallions, sesame oil and lobster roe is the nucleus for this savory Cantonese dim sum. Tucked into house-made tapioca and rice flour dough and steamed, these pillows of love have "wonderful mouth feel," says Empire Chinese Kitchen co-owner Theresa Chan. "There is no fresher lobster dumpling." Dipped in a sweet ginger soy sauce, it's "a luxury dim sum," that keeps this urban spot bumping.
Claim to fame: The Travel Channel's Andrew Zimmern of "Bizarre Foods America" picked these lobster dumplings for his Portland in 10 Plates feature in Food and Wine magazine this month.
2. The dish: Fried lobster tail on a stick, $10
The place: Wicked Tails, 4 Spring St., Kennebunkport
The breakdown: Drench a choice lobster tail in flour, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt and paprika and fry in canola oil. "It's simple to execute and tastes excellent," said chef Brendan Levin, who invented this portable revelation in the month-old Dock Square take-out joint. "It's great food for people to walk around the port window shopping, or while sitting on a bench," he said. Me? I downed mine on the spot and it was the best pick-me-up I've had in weeks. Served with a side of Sriracha aioli, this tail is worth chasing.
Claim to fame: Opening softly last month, the food paparazzi can only be minutes away.
3.The dish: Lobster Lo'Maine, $29
The place: Academe at The Kennebunk Inn, 45 Main St., Kennebunk
The breakdown: Lo mein never had it this good. Lobster meat, marinated pork bellies, scallions, cilantro and sesame seeds mingle with ginger vinegar and a white miso dressing on a bed of noodles for an upscale Maine version of the Asian classic. Chef/co-owner Shanna Horner O'Hea is building a gourmet lobster empire with pot pies and white pizza wowing the likes of Oprah. Lobster Lo' Maine is this season's newcomer. "Lobster is a great protein that is so friendly with so many different applications," said O'Hea. "I'm thrilled with the response. People are really enjoying it."
Claim to fame: The dish impressed crowds at Portland's Harvest on the Harbor last year — it was O'Hea's Lobster Chef of the Year entry.
4. The dish: Puerto Nuevo langosta tacos, $27
The place: Zapoteca, 505 Fore St., Portland
The breakdown: Portland chef Shannon Bard continues to turn heads with her fresh take on Mexican food by way of Maine. For her trademark dish, a whole lobster is cooked in beer and sauteed in duck fat with a pat of chipotle butter. Served with tequila sauce, lime and avocado in corn tortillas with a side of Mexican street corn, it's a bold barrier breaker. Though lobster purists might balk at doctoring the sweet meat of the sea in this fashion, Bard didn't become a media darling by playing it safe. "People expect something unique and innovative," she said. "That's what I do."
Claim to fame: The Wall Street Journal singled out her lobster tacos in a food story this month. The dish will be featured in her new cookbook, "Gourmet Mexican Kitchen," which comes out in February.
5. The dish: Spicy lobster burritos, $14.95
The place: El El Frijoles, 41 Caterpillar Hill Road, Sargentville
The breakdown: A traditional Mission-style burrito filled to the brim with lobster meat has spawned a new term "Maine Mex." Michael Rossney's inventive burritos are inspiring food-centric road trips to his hideaway between Deer Isle and Blue Hill. It's a local taste of black beans harvested up the road at Horsepower Farm, rice, and cheddar cheese. Penobscot lobster is cooked in a "secret sauce" consisting of butter, chile achiote paste and garlic. The bounty is wrapped into a hefty flour tortilla bomb with house salsa and crema. "Burritos are a mainstay of our native cuisine," said Rossney, who moved here from the Bay Area 10 years ago. As he learned in San Francisco's Mission District, torpedoes are not stuffy. "Peel it like a banana and eat it like street food." No bib required.
Claim to fame: Travel Channel's "Food Paradise" features El El Frijoles' spicy lobster burrito August 26th.
6. The dish: Surf and turf burger, $16
The place: Elevation Burger, 85 Western Avenue Plaza, South Portland and 205 Commercial St., Portland.
The breakdown: Move over Big Mac, there's a new Mac Daddy in town. A 3.2 ounce grass-fed burger topped with a hearty helping of lobster salad, organic bacon, lettuce and tomato on a potato bun has Maine's signature dish written all over it. This surf and turf in paradise is a tourist magnet. "We sell 30 a day," said Drew Litman, manager of the new Old Port restaurant. "It's something different that people are not used to. It's a great play on the textures," said Litman.
Claim to fame: Elevation Burger is a franchise based in Virginia. But you can only get the surf and turf burger in Maine.
7. The dish: King of clubs, $20
The location: Archer's on the Pier, 58 Ocean St., Rockland. The Brass Compass Cafe, 305 Main St., Rockland.
The Breakdown: A triple decker threat. Maine lobster, slab bacon, lettuce and tomato on homemade white bread stands alone as a tower of power in Lobster City. The king of clubs has reigned for more than a decade on Main Street.
"It's been popular at the Brass Compass for 11 years. I did a throwdown with Bobby Flay and it became the most wonderful sandwich in the world," said owner and creator Lynn Archer. "People come and take pictures of it; they want my autograph."
This crush on crustaceans is a source of pride for Archer, who like many Rocklanders, grew up in a lobstering family. "My grandfather, my son, my father are all lobstermen. It's our whole family lifestyle. You always look at ways to use it up. Back in the old days, it was like 'oh lobster again?' Now it's a very important part of my life," she said. And the king of clubs is her ace in the hole. "It melds together perfectly. It's a damn good sandwich."
Claim to Fame: Bobby Flay Throwdown winner 2011.
8. The dish: Lobster consomme, $109 as part of five-course lobster tasting menu
The location: Natalie's at Camden Harbour Inn, 83 Bayview St., Camden.
The breakdown: Taking an old-school French dish and adding a new-school twist sums up this sexy soup from executive chef Chris Long. "Our interpretation of consomme adds an emulsion, which are bubbles, like a cappuccino," said Long, who also happens to be the current Lobster Chef of the Year .
Part of an elegant, prix fixe lobster tasting menu, this consummate consomme makes lobster bisque seem passe. Long starts by roasting lobster shells and deglazing with sherry wine. "Throw in some white wine, some onions, fennel, leeks and cover it with water for one hour," he says. Next, Long strains the stock and reduces it by half. Whipped egg whites, corn puree and fresh lobster knuckle meat come next. Topped with a corn and lobster emulsion, you taste summer in every, frothy spoonful.
Claim to fame: Served and co-created by the state's reigning lobster chef of the year.

Auriesville is the nearest town to Our Lady of the Martyrs Shrine which is built on the site of the Mohawk town of Ossernenon. It was here that saints René Goupil, Isaac Jogues, and Jean Lalande were martyred. Ossernenon was also the site of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha's birth.
Because of its association with three saints and a blessed, the shrine is holy ground. Thus, it was with some shock that one of the first things we discovered upon arrival was that one of the most prominent buildings on the grounds, the Jesuit retreat house, was being reconstructed--apparently into a Buddhist temple.
A mere stone's thrown from the Jesuit cemetery at the shrine, where hundreds of Jesuits, including Avery Cardinal Dulles, are laid to rest, the former retreat house still has a statue of Jesus in front of it and crosses on the facade. It is not even 1,000 feet from the mortuary chapel where we heard Mass that morning, and considering its proximity and size, it is an obvious place for pilgrims to want to check out. So naturally we did.
Given the state of relative dilapidation of the rest of the buildings on the grounds of the shrine, I was happy--at first--to see this building being renovated. Then, I noticed the Chinese lion sculptures, still in their packaging. Around the back, was a sign (see below) that identified the place as "Western Supreme Buddha Temple." A the bottom, it said, "Welcome all pilgrims to our Buddhism worship." I couldn't believe my eyes.
There is absolutely no signage at the front of the building marking it as in any way separate from the Jesuit Martyrs shrine. Having blundered back there, we were soon confronted by several friendly but obviously suspicious Chinese women with shaved heads--Buddhist nuns, I assume. They politely asked us what we wanted. We showed them the map of the grounds we had received that showed their building as part of the shrine. They informed us that was no longer the case--that they had purchased the building five years ago. They then pointed us toward the exit with a smile. Apparently not all pilgrims were particularly welcome after all.
What is one to say about this? I am still flabbergasted.
I did some further research into the group of Buddhists who purchased the building. They are called The World Peace and Healing Organization (WPHO). According to their mission statement:
World Peace and Health Organization is a non-profit organization. Its main goal is to serve the societies, help governments and associations to promote plans for the enhancement of their citizens' health quality. At the same time it also promotes world peace and offers advice for the stability of societies.Let me just say that my beef is not particularly with the Buddhists, though they probably should have exercised better discretion in seeking to purchase Catholic holy sites. As non-Christian religions go, Buddhism is among the most innocuous. In many respects, it is quite similar to Christianity and its moral code is generally laudable.
The fault for this travesty lies solely with whoever approved the sale of this piece of Our Lady of the Martyrs shrine. This is among the holiest sites in North America and to have it parceled off and sold is an absolute disgrace.
Of course, I wanted to know who was responsible for this outrage and how it was allowed to happen and the trail was not difficult to uncover. Apparently, WPHO has been buying up properties all over the region. As recently as July, the Albany diocese sold off two vacant churches to this same group for a grand total of $250,000.
It appears that when the sale of the Jesuit Retreat House was originally made, the World Peace and Healing Association was operating under a different name: The American Sports Committee. There was nothing about Buddhism in the original articles describing the sale, such as this one in the Evangelist, the newspaper of the Albany Diocese. The article says:
Father Murray believes the American Sports Committee will use the building as "a kind of nutrition and wellness center."Well, given the sign in the back of the building, this claim was either a convenient head-fake on the part of the buyers, or an outright lie on the part of the diocese.
Here's an article from the Times Union of Albany written at the time of the sale. Apparently the ones who vetted potential buyers were....drumroll please...the NY Jesuits and the Diocese of Albany. Not surprising in the least, of course. And the real kick in the knickers comes at the end:
Prospective buyers had to first be cleared by the Albany Roman Catholic Diocese and the New York Province of the Society of Jesuits, Modrys said, adding, "We didn't want anyone to occupy the property who would run an operation that would be contrary to Catholic principles."OK, so how is it not contrary to Catholic principles to have a Buddhist temple operating on the site of a Catholic holy place?

AUSTIN -- In recognition of February's designation as Black History Month, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Buffalo Soldiers will pay homage to the 19th century African-American military unit's unique heritage through living history programs this month. The Buffalo Soldiers, who got their name from the Plains Indians because the African- American soldiers' hair to them resembled bison fur, were former slaves and freedmen who comprised the 9th and 10th Cavalry and 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments formed in 1867 after the Civil War. They were reputed to be fierce and skilled fighters and served at frontier military posts from Texas to the Dakota territories to help with the westward expansion of the Unites States. The Buffalo Soldiers usually performed routine garrison chores, patrolled the frontier, built roads, escorted mail parties, and a variety of difficult civil and military tasks, but a few men, such as Henry O. Flipper, became commanding officers. The two primary goals of TPWD's Buffalo Soldiers Program are to tell the mostly forgotten stories of the soldiers and to add more inclusiveness to the activities and workforce of the agency. The University of Texas at San Antonio is hosting Buffalo Soldiers Day from noon to 5 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 9. The soldiers will set up their base camp at the Institute of Texas Cultures in downtown San Antonio, and display artifacts and tell stories about the Buffalo Soldiers. The Buffalo Soldiers will also be participating in the 15th annual African American Community Heritage Festival at Huston-Tillotson University in Austin from1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 22. Visitors will hear the soldiers tell historical stories and partake in activities within the encampment.

According to Robert Redford and ABC co-host Diane Sawyer, you're either a liberal activist or you are apathetic. Those are the two options. The famous left-wing actor/director appeared on Tuesday's "Good Morning America" to promote his new anti-war film, "Lions For Lambs." After playing a clip of the movie that shows Redford's character, a college professor, deriding a student for not opposing his government, Sawyer breathlessly asked the star, "You've been touring colleges. Is it true? Are they not awake out there? Are they waking up? What's the difference? What's it going to take?"
Redford, who also directed the film, asserted that "the pendulum is beginning to swing back" and repeated the cliched liberal claim that young people aren't aggressively opposing the war because "the fact that there wasn't a draft...let a lot of people off the hook and they didn't get involved." So, essentially, young people either support a liberal agenda or they simply don't care?
The conversation between Redford and Sawyer oddly seemed to skirt around what the film is actually about. (The plot is rather involved, but it includes a liberal professor who tries to "inspire" his students. Other storylines see two of those students ending up fighting in Afghanistan and a presidential candidate who is giving information to a journalist, played by Meryl Streep.) However, both Redford and Sawyer tried to portray the movie as simply posing questions. In a tease for the segment, Sawyer proclaimed, "And it is a powerful new work about questions, not necessarily answers, but very potent questions." A few minutes later, she described "Lions For Lambs" as a search for "questions and the consequences." Redford claimed he wanted to "knock something aside right off the bat. It's not about the war. It's not about Iraq." Despite these denials, the movie is clearly a liberal argument against the current efforts in the Middle East. Sawyer skirted this issue when she paraphrased the film's title. She wondered, "And are the real lions fighting for lambs in air-conditioned offices, making decisions?" It should also be noted, as already pointed out by Newsmax, that the screenwriter on the project, Matthew Michael Carnahan, is a former intern for the Clinton White House.
At the end of the piece, Sawyer alerted GMA viewers that Redford, plus fellow co-stars Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep would return later in the week to promote the film again. It appears as though this upcoming segment will see Sawyer, on behalf of the mainstream media, accepting attacks for not being liberal enough. She teased, "We're going to tackle [the issues raised in the movie], as I say, including the journalist as windsocks who blow with the wind."
Tuesday's example certainly isn't the first time GMA gushed over Redford. In May, weatherman, and liberal environmental activist Sam Champion, swooned over the "Hollywood legend" who is saving the planet through his green agenda.
A transcript of the segment, which aired at 8:44am on November 6, follows:
8:30am tease
DIANE SAWYER: Oh, how many lives we've lived with him on screen. Robert Redford. We remember 'The Way We Were,' don't we? As we say good morning, America, again to you. I'm Diane Sawyer. He is back. And of course, he is back now. He is directing his first film in seven years. And it is a powerful new work about questions, not necessarily answers, but very potent questions. And he's going to get a chance to tell us what 'Lions for Lambs' means coming up.
SAWYER: This morning, a rare occasion, a great one for us. Robert Redford, here with us, live in our studio. On Friday, "Lions for Lambs" opens in theaters. He is both in front of and behind the camera. With him there in front of the camera, Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise. A provocative film about questions and the consequences. And it's good to have you here. You like getting up in the morning do you?
ROBERT REDFORD: Thank you, Diane. Do I like getting up? No, I'm an honest man.
SAWYER: I'm not going to be honest. 'Cause I get up every morning.
REDFORD: You sure do.
SAWYER: First film directing in seven years?
REDFORD: Yeah. I don't know why that seems puzzling to some people. For me, it hasn't been so much. It's a question of finding the project you want to do, trying to have a life, and having other things you have to do, like Sundance. This one, this one was something special that came at the right time and hit me just right.
SAWYER: Asking your questions?
REDFORD: Well, what -- yeah, exactly. And, I hope, questions for most Americans. But what I would say about it, I'd like to knock something aside right off the bat. It's not about the war. It's not about Iraq. It's really about a broader look at how the last few years and the policies of the last few years have had consequences, have had effects and consequences on three specific areas of our society: The relationship between the media and Congress. Young people and the relationship with young people and education and the role that they're going to play or not play in a very crucial time. And then the part of the war, the military is just a snapshot of, of two men fighting for what they believe is right in a war that was designed by leaders. And you can decide whether or not how faulty you think that is and the consequences. But the point is, that we're so isolated from these guys fighting over there. It deals with how we become isolated from real sacrifice.
SAWYER: And are the real lions fighting for lambs in air-conditioned offices, making decisions? I want to play a clip, because you play a college professor. Talking to a college student and trying to insight, inspire, enjoin him to meet his life, his real life and his life of caring about what's going on in the world. Here's a clip from "Lions For Lambs."
[clip from "Lions For Lambs"]
COLLEGE STUDENT: You're sounding a hell of a lot like my parents. They're always harping on how they're giving me a better life then I ever had. And then they resent me because I got the nerve to enjoy it.
ROBERT REDFORD'S CHARACTER: If all your rants about Congress and politics are true, Todd, if things are really bad, as bad as you say they are how can you enjoy the good life? The problem is not with the problem that started this. They're past irredeemable. The problem is with us, with all of us who do nothing, who just fiddle, who try to maneuver around the edges of the flame. And I'll tell you something, there are people out there, day after day, all over the world, fighting to make the world better.
COLLEGE STUDENT: You think it's better to try fail then failing to try, right?
REDFORD: Yeah.
COLLEGE STUDENT: But what is the difference if you end up in the same place?
REDFORD: At least you did something.
[Clip ends]
SAWYER: You've been touring colleges. Is it true? Are they not awake out there? Are they waking up? What's the difference? What's it going to take?
REDFORD: You know -- No, I don't think that's entirely true. I think it was for a while because apathy and cynicism have played such a role in young people's minds. They haven't voted. As you see in the film, there's an attitude that they think is justified because they're actually insulted by the behavior of leaders so why should they get involved? The counterpoint is if you don't, we're going to have a continuation of those leaders and it will just get worse. So, the film really does put questions to the students. I mean, it's really about the future and young people and the role they're going to play or not play. And the question goes to the audience. The film really doesn't try to deliver answers. That's agit-propaganda. It's really about asking questions that we should have been asking, in those three, all of us in the last -- but when I was on campus tours, I was really surprised. You can't say black and white. You can't say, well, all students are apathetic and all congressmen are bad -- although there's no question --
SAWYER: You're about to?
REDFORD: -- and all journalists are asleep. No. But the fact was, I sensed that maybe the pendulum is beginning to swing back. You know, the fact that there wasn't a draft, I think, let a lot of people off the hook and they didn't get involved.
SAWYER: You're going to be coming back and talking more with Meryl and with Tom Cruise about some of the things in the movie. But I have to ask you before we take a break today. You say that you don't think about age at all. Long career, but you don't think about age at all. Now, you're talking to me here. Really, you don't?
REDFORD: Let's not compare. You win hands down. I don't think about age.
SAWYER: Really?
REDFORD: But I have to deal with it sometimes because somebody brings it up.
SAWYER: They don't. They wouldn't have the nerve.
REDFORD: Oh, yeah. They do in print. They say, 'Well, he's aged' or, 'Gee, wrinkles' or what have you. No, I don't think about it. I just don't think about it.
SAWYER: But you always said you don't like to watch yourself. And yet when you direct yourself, you're watching dailies all day long, watching yourself. How do you accommodate those two things?
REDFORD: Just suffer. Just suffer. I give a lot to my industry.
SAWYER: I would be there with my paint brush thing, you know, painting out everything could I paint out.
REDFORD: You know, I think you totally believe you just let yourself be who you are, even when you age. They do it in Europe well. For some reason, cosmetics has become such a huge part of American life, that's the way it is, but I don't care about it.
SAWYER: Well, again, what you do care out, of course, is the questions raised in this. We're going to tackle them, as I say, including the journalist as windsocks who blow with the wind.
REDFORD: I didn't write that, you know.
SAWYER: But you're go answer for it.
REDFORD: Yes, I'd be happy to.
SAWYER: And that will being coming up in the next few days. "Lions for Lambs" opens in theaters on Friday. And we'll have more with Robert Redford and Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep in the days ahead.

Porn Industry Shuts Down As Yet Another Adult Film Performer Tests HIV-Positive
Another adult film actor has tested HIV-positive, making this anonymous person the fifth case in the industry this year. Filming has shut down for a third time since this summer as doctors trace the outbreak. The Free Speech Coalition, which is a trade group for the porn industry, announced the halt on filming on Friday.
"We are taking every precaution while we do research to determine if there's been any threat to the performer pool," said Free Speech Coalition CEO Diane Duke. "We take the health of our performers very seriously, and felt that it was better to err on the side of caution while we determine whether anyone else may have been exposed." All coworkers this anonymous person has come in contact with on and off set have been notified so they can be tested as well.
Over a year ago, using condoms in porn became mandatory at the hands of Los Angeles County voters. Eventually, parts of the law were found to be unconstitutional, although condoms are still mandated. Nevertheless, the mandate seems to not be fully enforced.
The first moratorium on filming in the adult industry happened August, after adult film actress Cameron Bay tested positive for HIV. A few days after the industry declared that all the actors who performed with Bay were clear, her boyfriend, Rod Daily, announced that he'd also tested positive for HIV. Two days after Daily announced his test results, a third adult film actor — an anonymous man — tested HIV-positive and the industry shut down again. It's unclear how long this current shutdown will last.
According to the coalition, adult film performers prefer mandatory biweekly STI testing — which tests for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis — to wearing condoms onscreen. In an explanation of the moratorium on filming, the Free Speech Coalition addresses adult film actors' dislike of condoms:
Unfortunately, condoms aren't perfect. They break. In the shoots that can take several hours, they can cause abrasions known as "condom rash," which, paradoxically, can make it easier to transmit an infection if one does break. For this and a host of other reasons, performers generally prefer to rely on the testing system over condoms.
There's also the belief that the use of condoms tends to lead to a decline in film sales.
But the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which wrote the condom mandate law, said testing is not enough and the adult film industry will only be safe if condoms area always worn. In a statement on Friday, the president of the foundation questioned:
"How many more performers need to become infected for the industry to comply with existing regulations and laws requiring workplace safety?"

ABC of General Surgery
Moles and other Pigmented Skin Lesions
1. What is
a Mole?
are the features of a skin cancer?
If skin
cancers are picked up early, before they have chance to spread, they can be
cured by simple surgical removal. Skin cancers tend to develop on areas of
skin that are regularly exposed to sunlight. They appear as new lumps
which start small and which grow in size. Any skin lesion grows to more
than 6 mm (1/4") should be considered suspicious. Melanomas are
usually dark in colour and may appear in a previous mole or on normal
skin. Any new, dark coloured skin lesion should be considered
suspicious. New skin lesions that itch, bleed or scab but don't heal up
should be considered suspicious. Skin cancers can occur in young people,
especially in fair skinned people who have a lot of exposure to sun.

The NCAA revealed the host sites for its 2014 men's basketball tournament Monday, and listed among them is a venue that March Madness supposedly had outgrown:
Viejas Arena.
Then known as Cox Arena, it hosted tournament games in 2001 and 2006 to soldout crowds and rave reviews, only for the NCAA to mandate a minimum of 12,000 "sellable" seats for future venues. Viejas Arena has a capacity of 12,414 for San Diego State basketball games, but seats "killed" for media, bands, TV and other reasons during the NCAA Tournament lowered it to about 11,500. Not enough.
What changed?
Viejas didn't for the NCAA; the NCAA did for Viejas.
Last spring the NCAA quietly lowered its minimum "sellable" capacity for the tournament's opening weekend to 10,000, and then asked to meet with SDSU athletic director Jim Sterk when the Aztecs were in Columbus, Ohio, for their opening NCAA Tournament game against North Carolina State.
"They told us that they were changing the requirement so we could qualify," Sterk said. "They needed more quality West Coast sites, and they encouraged us to bid on it. So it's not a huge surprise that we got it."
The games are tentatively set for March 21 (Friday) and 23 (Sunday), 2014. It is technically called the second and third round (the First Four is considered the first round), featuring eight teams and six games.
All of which means San Diego State coach Steve Fisher and his players will work hard not to see it. The only downside of hosting tournament games in an on-campus arena is that your team is prohibited from playing in it. The closest opening-weekend venue in 2014 is Spokane, Wash. The others: Buffalo, N.Y.; Milwaukee; Orlando, Fla.; Raleigh, N.C.; San Antonio; and St. Louis.
The 2014 Final Four is at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
"To have a 12,000-seat venue be host, you start looking, you're not going to have too many hosting that are of our size," Fisher said. "There should be more. They remembered the previous two that they housed here and how they went, and I think they said, 'Let's do it again.'"
Sterk and Senior Associate Athletic Director John David Wicker had been pressing the NCAA to change the rule long before they arrived at SDSU. While at Washington State, they had hosted tournament games at the Spokane Arena, which also had a normal capacity slightly over 12,000 and which also had it bumped under the NCAA minimum when organizers started subtracting seats.
They came to SDSU in 2010. Same problem.
"It was one of the first questions I asked when I got here: 'OK how can we get to 12,000 seats sellable?'" Wicker said. "Luckily the NCAA changed what they were doing. It's kind of moot point now. We're in good shape.
"It's kind of a four-year rotation if you can get into it. We'll certainly continue to put in bids to keep that going."

VICTORIA BECKHAM is in Paris to promote her new collection, and has brought
fashion-loving son Romeo along for the ride which has included a trip
to CHANEL.
The fashion designer and mum of four has been updating fans on her Parisian
adventure via Twitter.
One photo shows her in a white bathrobe sitting on the iconic mirrored
staircase designed by Coco Chanel.
Another sees her preparing for the photo shoot by enjoying a large glass of
rosé in the dressing room. It had the caption: "Perfect box of Chanel
barrettes and glass of rose! Loving Paris!!"
Romeo, nine, is known to be keen on fashion, and this trip is a particular
treat for the Beckham boy, as mum breaks from the pattern that has seen her
choose Harper as her main travelling companion.
But now that little Harper is starting to walk, she might not be suitable for
the high fashion world of delicate materials and pristine clothing.
The mother-son pair makes a stylish duo with Victoria in a well-fitted
crisp white shirt and black maxi skirt and Romeo in a jeans and bomber
jacket combo with high-top sneakers.
As much as he may want to follow in his mum's fashion-designer footsteps, his
laidback cool-guy style definitely resembles that of his dad.

The Reduced Shakespeare Company will appear at City Varieties in September with The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised]; an irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard's plays. The Company is a three-man comedy troupe that takes long, serious subjects and reduces them to short, sharp comedies.
Since 1981 'The Bad Boys of Abridgement' have created nine stage shows, two television specials, several failed TV pilots and numerous radio pieces – all of which have been performed the world over. The company's first three shows, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), The Complete History of America (abridged) and The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged) enjoyed a nine year run at the Criterion Theatre in Piccadilly Circus. Not only were they London's longest-running comedies, but at one point the Reduced Shakespeare Company had more shows running in the West End than Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The company are currently touring the UK with their acclaimed The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged), on the back of a whirlwind eight month tour of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) playing to packed houses throughout the UK and London's West End in 2013. Before that the "other RSC" were last seen in the UK with their highly successful Complete World of Sports (abridged) which toured the country before completing a season in London's West End during the 2012 Olympics.
At the City Varieties the madcap men in tights will weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories and Tragedies in one wild ride.
The Reduced Shakespeare Company is at City Varieties Music Hall on Friday 19th September 2014 at 7.30pm.
Tickets are priced at £19.60.

The victim was on East Grand Avenue near Gayland Street about 4 a.m. when the pickup driver stopped, got out, and confronted the man with a pistol, police Lt. Neal Griffin said.
The robber took the victim's cellphone, wallet and sunglasses, got back in his truck and opened fire on the victim, but missed. The robber was described as Latino, in his 20's, with a short beard and a pierced lip. He was driving a lifted blue, four-door Chevrolet pickup.

Melissa George expecting second baby
Melissa George is expecting her second child with boyfriend Jean-David Blanc.
The 38-year-old Australian actress is already mother to 15-month-old son Raphaël with boyfriend Jean-David Blanc.
And now the pair are preparing to welcome a second child together into the world.
The happy news broke as it was revealed US TV network NBC would be moving Melissa's new series, Heartbreaker.
The show was originally due to air in the fall, but will now be shown midseason due to the pregnancy.
In Heartbreaker, Melissa plays Dr. Alex Panttiere, a world-renowned heart transplant surgeon.
The character is based on real-life cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Kathy Magliato and her 2011 memoir Heart Matters.
And in a recent interview, Melissa told Global News that her alter-ego being based on a real person made it actually easier to take on the part.
"It's a lot easier to play, actually, because I had the research and the resource material right next to me and the surgeon Kathy Magliato was next to me every day," she said. "She's very excited. And just to feel her energy actually is what I think got the show past the pilot stage because we were very authentic with everything we did in the show. We had four surgeons, we had her, we had other experts. We had everyone making sure that what we were doing was completely legitimate. And also, if I have any questions I can just call her."
After welcoming Raphaël in February 2014, Melissa took to Twitter to announce the new arrival.
"WELCOME TO THE WORLD! OUR BEAUTIFUL SON Raphaël Blanc just born at the American Hospital of Paris. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE LOVE," she gushed.
Melissa and Jean-David met at a BAFTA after-party in 2012 and have been dating ever since.
