MOLLY SHERIDAN: Why don't you begin by talking briefly about your plans for the residency?
REBECA MAULEÓN: Well I think that the most important aspect of it is in bringing together a diverse cross section of a population in San Francisco, which in general has been very underserved due to its economic situation. This is an area we call South Market. It has a booming dot.com industry and then a very substantial low-income ethnic minority population, so just the challenge of working in this kind of environment and bringing world culture to this kind of diverse community is both challenging and very rewarding. Many of these people are recent immigrants who otherwise wouldn't really have access to the arts. However, I'm coming into a teaching situation [at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts] that has really already been well established. The other exciting challenge for me was sharing musical skills with unskilled artists, people who are just regular folks, and eventually entertaining the idea of composing with them and for them and having them explore some of their own creativity. The way we're doing that, in particular with the seniors but also with the kids, is through poetry and spoken word, which is an area that as a composer I'd always wanted to get more involved in. So ultimately I'm kind of stretching my own creative horizons by working in that medium while at the same time giving them the benefits of my information in the whole world music genre. So we're doing such diverse amount of things. I'm teaching them to do musical accompaniment so they can create their own score to their poems. And this summer I'm going to be teaching them how to make their own instrument.
MOLLY SHERIDAN: What do you hope to gain as an artist from the residency?
REBECA MAULEÓN: I'm getting a lot of material from what I'm doing with the educational program. It's feeding me and fueling me for writing. It's really an important opportunity for me to be able to sit down and get inspired, so I'm looking forward to working on a lot of new material. Usually with a lot of these residencies it takes a little while to get going, but we started in right away with the educational part, so I'm actually looking forward now to really getting into some more composing.
MOLLY SHERIDAN: Do you think your previous connections to the community will in some ways be a distraction to your work?
REBECA MAULEÓN: You always make time for what you need to do. And also, the muse being what she is, you find that those moments of inspiration come whenever they come. There are moments that you have to be flexible within a residency like this because there are going to be times when you're just doing a lot more of one aspect than the other. But we have three years, and the beauty of this really is the flexibility and how much we can morph and change to accommodate schedules and lives and things like that. And I know when it comes down to it it's all going to get done. And then I'm also looking forward to the opportunity to collaborate with various artists in the community. I'm very big on collaboration and excited about the potential of working with people that on a regular basis I wouldn't have the opportunity to work with.
MOLLY SHERIDAN: What attracts you to collaboration?
REBECA MAULEÓN: Well I think it brings in refreshing perspectives and musical textures that normally you wouldn't be able to access. That way it's also not just a dictatorial concept where you are giving all of the information and they are regurgitating back what you want. It's much more a process of their molding your vision, helping you to bring it to life. In many of my pieces I also leave a lot open to improvisation. I don't like to have every single note written on paper, so there's always going to be a segment of a piece that's really free and open. Also, people from various aspects of community coming together and working — it's a sign of cooperation and understanding.
MOLLY SHERIDAN: How have your previous experiences as a composer prepared you for the challenges of this residency?
REBECA MAULEÓN: Well, foremost is not only familiarity but my comfort level with working with people of all cultural backgrounds and all ages. I try to talk to everyone on the same level so they don't feel they're being condescended to. The first challenge was working specifically with a group of seniors and then specifically a group of children and then learning how we connect. And we found that we do connect constantly. Now, for example, in my senior group, they've established an interest in learning more of the technical aspects of music and theory, so we're really finding that they also have the capacity to express what their needs are on the learning level. So that's one of the things that I think is the most important to establish, that nothing's set in stone, that there is a capacity to change and grow within the scope of the residency and that they themselves can shape it.
MOLLY SHERIDAN: Since New Residencies is about composers getting grants not just to work, but also to work with the community, what do you think is the role of composer in a community?
REBECA MAULEÓN: Well, unfortunately I think the composer has on a larger scale always been somewhat invisible. The mass media and the mass population don't even acknowledge the fact that there are people who create music. It's more of an entertainment-oriented issue — an extra curricular activity as opposed to something that should be fundamental. So that being said, now I think the challenge is not only to educate the current population on what the role of the composer is, but in having them understand that they too can be creators and composers. It's going to take a lot more of this kind of programming to bring an awareness of how music is made and how can people feel more connected to the process of music making. And that's not going to happen overnight. I think for me the most important thing is the demystification of the composer and bringing the whole process down to a more grassroots level — giving everybody access and the opportunity, and letting them know that regardless of your training, you too can be a creator and a music maker and not just be a passive consumer.

During the steamy summer of 2012, Californians who headed to the beach were able to enjoy largely excellent water quality, according to an annual study released by Santa Monica-based Heal the Bay.
The advocacy group's End of Summer Beach Report Card graded 96 percent of the state's beaches with a "A" or "B," marking a 4 percent uptick from last year.
It was one of the cleanest summers for beach water quality ever recorded.
In Los Angeles County, which has long been home to most of the state's dirtiest beaches, water quality improved by 2 percent, with 77 beaches earning an "A" or "B."
All monitoring spots at Avalon Beach on Catalina Island, regularly one of the top-most polluted beaches in the state, earned an "F." So did Malibu Pier, where the source of pollution remains a mystery, and the Walnut Creek outlet southwest of Paradise Cove in Malibu.
Perpetually polluted Inner Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro also got an "F," as did several locations in Long Beach.
With the exception of Poche Beach in San Clemente, water quality in Orange and Ventura counties was excellent. The latter received an "A" at each of its beaches.
But all was not well along the Golden State's coast, Heal the Bay warned.
That's because the nonprofit group was worried about two federal proposal that could have a "devastating effect on beach water quality programs throughout the entire country," according to the report.
The Obama administration has proposed a budget for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that eliminates funding for grants that pay for beach monitoring, according to Heal the Bay. The proposed cuts would primarily affect county beach programs in Northern California.
At the same time, Heal the Bay criticizes the EPA's new proposed limits on bacteria in recreational waters, saying they are "far less protective of the public health of swimmers than current science and good public policy dictate."
Among other deficiencies that the advocacy group named, Heal the Bay argued that EPA did not include the latest science – including studies done at Santa Monica Bay and Doheny Beach – to develop the new criteria.
The report (PDF) was released Tuesday. Beach grades are available at beachreportcard.org, where apps for iPhones and Android phones can be found as well.

Sundance Films Top 10 Sexy-FAIL Moments
To count down to the Sundance Film Festival, we're blogging about some of our favorite movie moments in the festival's history. We've covered the Top 10 Lessons in Love, Top 10 Lessons in Young Love and the Top 10 Oddest Couples. This week, we're featuring the movie moments that make you feel funny in a bad way, make you squirm in your seat, give you second-hand embarrassment or leave you holding your knees rocking back and forth saying "No" over and over.
- Clerks: Don't you hate it when you mistake a corpse for your boyfriend and end up having sex with it in a darkened convenience store bathroom?
- Black Snake Moan: The moral of the story: Chaining a young, skimpily dressed, drug addicted, abuse victim to your radiator against her will in order to cure her of her raging nymphomania is the right thing to do. Jesus would be proud.
- Spanking the Monkey: Five words for you: sex with your own mother. Ew!!!! (And with a title like that, it's not exactly Oedipus.)
- Downloading Nancy: It's a psycho-sadomasochistic love story: she wants to die and he's willing to help. See, Internet personals really do work! (Now we're just waiting for the film version of that German cannibal who, via the Internet, found, killed and ate his willing victim…after they had sex and then tried to dine on his dismembered penis together — any festival submissions yet? No?).
- Little Miss Sunshine: The only thing more inappropriate than the Grandpa-choreographed stripper dance by 7-year-old Olive at the kids' beauty pageant are the other "legitimate" performances by the Stepford babies.
- Teeth: Your first time should be special, romantic, and, most of all, consensual. If it's not, then you have every right to bite off your assaulter's penis with your sharp vagina dentata.
- Thank You For Smoking: The sex on a table between Katie Holmes and Aaron Eckhart might have been kind of hot… if we hadn't been too busy imagining the lengths Tom Cruise went to try to get it pulled.
- Savage Grace: Threeways are hot, except when two of the participants are a homophobic mother and her gay son. (See "Spanking the Monkey" above.)
- Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist: When the protagonist of this documentary drives a nail through his peen, that's pretty much THE definition of sexy-FAIL.
- This Film Is Not Yet Rated: Oh, MPAA ratings board, how we are mystified by your definition of "inappropriate."
Check back next week for our final Sundance Film Festival Top 10 from the Naked Love Department — we'll have done one each week for the past 5 weeks leading up to the festival!
- Our 10-Episode TV Show "SEX" Is Available on DVD!!!
- Teen Vampires and the Moms Who Love Them

The recent diplomatic visit of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang stimulated a plethora of articles, blog and tweets on the internet as well as in newspapers and news channels. The recent visit for global dialogues between the two major economies being seen as very promising and enticing was welcomed whole heartedly. The visit lured investors, think tanks as well as political leaders succumbing them to the belief that with new friendship and pacts it was going to substantially manipulate the global economy. Everyone believing that the new Chinese leadership is going to adopt a soft as well as wild stance and is going to forsake and abandon the feeling of animosity and bitterness towards India and will deem India as its friend and a partner notwithstanding a foe. The recent caveat given by exiled Chinese blind social activist Chen Guangcheng to India carries and very great hidden meaning in it. Chen, who became the first person to escape house arrest in Beijing said that, " Chinese people are not like that but the government's word can never be trusted. It is an authoritarian regime" and Indian government needs to be indeed focused on it.
The visit of Chinese Prime Minister has terminated but still some questions were evaded and their remedy seems to be elusive. The trip was a very good presage of development for the Chinese side and there in China it was considered as an economy filliping and underpinning visit which is going to support the Chinese economy in the long run but was the visit meant for India too or was it an ex parte believing only in Chinese future growth.
Out of China's 73 fortune 500 companies only 5 were represented in the business delegation and the other thing is that only one company in business delegation was ready to buy things from her while other were just here to sell.
The other motive which veneered the real reason for friendship with India could be a strong military base search. After the withdrawal of the USA's (United States of America) troops from Afghanistan, China would be very curious to set its feet there and for that purpose it wants to work meticulously and assiduously for the purpose. For the purpose China would inevitably look for some defence strong allies. But due to the dispute of China and Japan over the Senkaku islands, China needs some new allies who could compatibly work with it and this might be the reason behind the visit of Chinese Premier to India and Chinese President to Russia.
The other reason that shrouds the sudden inclination and proclivity of China towards India might be due to economic reason. China and India are the world's fastest emerging economies. European Union has not completely recuperated from the crisis and US also seems not be resilient and immune against it. At this point of time China needs some new nations. Now with its dispute and wrangle with nations like Thailand, Vietnam and Japan against it on the South China issue it needs to look for some new nations to help its economy soar and grow by leaps and bounds and for this purpose China want to contact the lavish and groovy Indian economy which is exhibiting a remarkable rate of growth to trounce its rivals.
The conclusion that comes from these things is that China wants to just use India for its own purpose and is deficient of any intention of helping and working with India. The recent incursion of Chinese soldiers in Indian territory just before the arrival of Chinese PM let the cats out of the bag portraying China's real intention and feelings towards India. The other thing is that this meeting didn't emphasize even a bit on issues pertinent to boundary division and regular flouting of border rules by Chinese soldiers. China, which has been claiming Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh as its own parts has not backed out of the stance and the Chinese PM remained evasive to such issues.
I would not say that India should not work with China but the thing is India should choose a way where it is going to remain safe with its impeccable probity, credibility and integrity and should opt out a place where it is also going to be benefited.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Look Like Luna Lovegood
So you want to look and act like the dotty, dreamy Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter series? Luna's most important traits are her open mind and adventurous spirit. She's artistic and calm, but also opinionated. Once you've got her personality traits mastered, dying your hair white blond and donning a V-neck sweater and tie (Luna's uniform) will complete the look!
1Luna is a very open minded person. If you're not, then explore new things, try new things. Start by considering new ways of thinking, and then explore them. Luna's open-mindedness was one of her strongest qualities. Always trust the people you care about, and never shut anything out based on logic.
2Luna is always very calm. Even in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, she managed to remain calm. Don't ever panic or get frustrated about anything. A lot of people will tell you to practice meditation to calm yourself down, and while it's a very calming experience for a few minutes, it can get boring. Do whatever works to keep yourself calm and if you're about to panic, just tell yourself that everything will always work out somehow.
3Speak your mind. Speak about any of your ideas and opinions in class. Luna shares what she thinks with people through the series. Even no matter how strange or on the contrary it is. Don't care what others may think. Oh and remember to follow the above step (stay calm). Luna was never angry or "strong" on her points and ideas. Just act natural.
4She's a very dreamy person, always thinking of something else. Though you should listen to people when they're talking to you, if you don't find a conversation interesting, feel free to think of something you find more interesting.
5Luna is artistic, as shown by the brilliant drawings of her friends she drew. You don't have to be Monet, but a little drawing once in a while can be fun, and if you really try, you never know, you might come out with something quite impressive.
6Use fashion to express yourself. Luna's quirky fashion sense was one of her trademarks, so if you find a particular hairstyle, make up style, or item of clothing nice, then don't hesitate to wear it. No matter what people say, you are you and have the right to wear what you want. Fashion isn't just something to make you look good to Luna, it's a way of expressing yourself. If you do want to emulate Luna's clothing based on the movie, then you may want to wear layers such as cardigans, light jackets, skirts, tights, and sneakers. Wear what ever colors you wish. Luna was all about color and mismatching. She had very unique hand-made jewelry as well.
7Express yourself. If you are someone who is a follower, it's time to step away from your group. Just because a lot of girls are in cliques doesn't mean you have to be in one!
8Most importantly, be intelligent. Think with your head and not your heart. Get good grades. After all, she was a Ravenclaw.

- The most important thing in all of this is having an open mind. You can't feel comfortable dressing differently or trying to be like this if you have a closed mind, so master that before anything else.
- Be prepared for teasing. People at the mall might stare and laugh at you, but don't take it too personally. It's their problem, not yours!
- Though you should try to be yourself, feel free to copy Luna in some cases. If you find something Luna does/says/wears interesting, then by all means, use it!
- Don't worry if people comment. You are yourself and sure you might dress and act differently, but you shouldn't have to be the same as everyone else. Just because they're too afraid to stand out doesn't mean you should be too. Don't dwell on it too much, it doesn't matter.
- Don't change too much. All of this is optional; you can take none or all of this and use it as you wish.
- Be sure not to drone out a teacher no matter how intensely boring they may be
- Don't drift off on your friends as it may seem like you're ignoring them.
Things You'll Need
- A blonde/white wig or dye
- Quirky clothes or a Hogwarts Ravenclaw Uniform

What's Wrong with Obamamania? Black America, Black Leadership, and the Death of Political Imagination
Jones (Black Haze ) uses Barack Obama's presidential campaign to launch a fascinating and well-researched exploration into black leadership in America. The author is thoughtful and balanced in his assessment of the changing nature of black leadership—from W.E.B. Du Bois to Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesse Jackson—and in his evaluation of the challenges facing the black community's newest generation of leaders. In dense, academic prose that often encumbers his analysis, Jones contextualizes the Obama campaign as he documents the troubled state of politics in black America, illustrating the enduring effects of slavery and segregation and charting the burgeoning influence of modern megachurches, hip-hop culture and BET. Although Jones raises more questions than he answers, this book makes a compelling case for black leaders to re-examine, augment and sometimes discard old approaches and methods. Jones lucidly enumerates the challenges, choices and limitations Obama will face as he attempts to win the presidency, and provides a level of racial analysis and exploration that is almost entirely absent in the mainstream media.

The political economy of organized crime: providing protection when the state does not
Organized crime emerges out of the power vaccuum that is created by the absence of state enforcement, and which can have many sources: geographic, social, and ethnic distance, prohibition, or simply collapse of state institutions. Mafias and gangs are hierarchically organized and can be thought of as providing primitive state functions, with economic costs that are typically much higher than those associated with modern governance. Though organized crime cannot be completely eradicated, its control is necessary, since it can easily corrupt existing institutions of governance. Some thoughts on what can be done to control organized crime are offered. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2001

Summer from-scratch favorite: Whole wheat sandwich buns!
Whole Wheat Buttermilk Sandwich Buns
I absolutely love Joshua's grilled food. Chicken, burgers, or fish -- he makes such healthy YUMMY food and I get out of cooking a main dish, too! :)
When it comes to burgers or other grilled meat sandwiches, Joshua likes buns rather than plain bread. And when it comes to buns, I'm picky. I don't like the $0.99 packages of white buns from the grocery store... I like the $3+ whole wheat buns.
Which is why it makes sense to make my own Whole Wheat Buttermilk Sandwich Buns -- especially when I have a nice bread machine to knead the dough! Hands-on time is really only 15 minutes or so, and that's well worth it for these delicious and healthy homemade sandwich buns!
This recipe is from Donna, and it is SO good! :) I changed it to be 100% whole wheat flour (the instructions and photos are my own, as always). Be sure to check out her original recipe on her blog and see what hers look like, too! :)
What did we use these buns for last week? A delicious grilled salmon sandwich! I just made another batch of these buns this morning, and we'll have grilled chicken sandwiches for dinner. Yummy! Now, maybe Summer will finally warm up here in the Pacific Northwest! :)
Wow, that looks amazing! I
Wow, that looks amazing! I am going to give it a try. I want to ask though, how long does your homemade bread/buns/rolls/etc "keep" without freezing? I have been making my things from scratch more often for some health issues, but I notice they get stale or moldy so much faster than store-bought.
this is so timely! i was
this is so timely! i was JUST looking for a good whole wheat sandwich bun recipe. thank you! i've been making one with white bread flour in my breadmaker but don't want to constantly be eating white bread when we have something on a bun. :) thanks!
Those buns look great!
Wow Tammy, great buns!
Joshua, you're horrible. ;)
Joshua, you're horrible. ;)
Tammy, thanks for this recipe! I have the same quandry as you; I really don't care for the storebought buns and rolls unless they're the bakery fresh ones. King Arthur Flour has a really great white sandwich bun recipe, but whole wheat never subsitutes well, in my experience. Thanks again!
They look so yummy and
They look so yummy and light! Do you make all of your bread/rolls?
the rain will never stop!
so when should we get together? did you get the rain we did yesterday afternoon! dreadful.
You posted this just in time for me to make them for company this past weekend. While I clearly don't have the technique down for beautiful appearance, they tasted yummy and i thank you for that.
I just made your Challah recipe and it's delicious!!! I can't wait to make the french toast tomorrow. =)
I definitely need to work on my bread making skills; I think I added too much flour because the dough was really tough to roll and didn't braid very easily. But it tastes good, so I'll persevere! ;-)
I gave you and your recipe a shout out on my FB page. :-D

Seven years ago, a high-profile developer was chosen to develop six acres in the heart of Barrio Logan after promising to attract a grocery store, a bank and other businesses that would bring hundreds of jobs.
Today the property is vacant, fenced and full of weeds.
Luis E. Garcia, who runs the Barrio Logan icon Chuey's Restaurant & Cantina, said the vacant property is an eyesore and a hangout for homeless people.
He blames the developer, Sam Marasco, president of LandGrant Development, and its partner in the project, the Metropolitan Area Advisory Committee.
"If you can't stand and deliver, get . . . out of the way," said Garcia, a member of the Barrio Logan Redevelopment Project Area Committee who wants to see improvements in the community where his family business has long been located.
Garcia was among those who applied to redevelop the property, which is bounded by Cesar E. Chavez Parkway, National Avenue, Main Street and the San Diego-Coronado Bridge. Last year, he opened his rebuilt restaurant on Main Street across the street from the vacant property.
In October, the area committee, which consists of business owners, homeowners and renters, asked the city's Redevelopment Agency to break its ties with the developer and solicit new bids.
Jim LoBue, the city's redevelopment coordinator on the project, said he shares the community's disappointment with the lack of progress on the development and feels his office has let the community down.
"We wanted this project done a long time ago," LoBue said.
The shopping center project fell apart last year after construction costs skyrocketed, causing the developer to lose its financing, LoBue said.
The first portion of the development, the 144-unit Mercado Apartments, opened in 1994 in the shadow of the bridge.
LoBue said city officials have considered making a fresh start with a different developer, but realize it would require going through a cumbersome process again.
City officials persuaded the Barrio Logan area committee to listen to a new proposal from the developer. It will be presented at 6 p.m. tomorrow at 2175 Newton Ave.
The original development would have provided 115,000 square feet of commercial space. The newly proposed, 400,000-square-foot project would include 280 condominiums with underground parking. The retail space would be cut nearly in half, but the Latino grocery El Tigre still would be the anchor store, said Arnulfo Manriquez, director of housing and community development for the Metropolitan Area Advisory Committee project.
The MAAC project and LandGrant are working together on the new proposal as Mercado Alliance LLC.
Manriquez said he believes the new proposal would serve the community better than the originally planned shopping center because of the city's need for housing. He said 15 percent to 20 percent of the condominiums would be sold to low-income buyers.
"Maybe this is the right thing that needs to go in here," he said. "Maybe it was worth it to wait for this."
Marasco, who built Las Americas, the high-end San Ysidro shopping center at the U.S.-Mexico border, did not return calls seeking comment.
LoBue said his department has not signed off on the new proposal. His department has given Mercado Alliance a list of deadlines that must be met to keep the project on track. If that doesn't happen to the city's satisfaction, the city may terminate the agreement and go forward with a new developer, LoBue said.
"This thing has dragged on so long," LoBue said. "We are not satisfied with the performance."
He said the developer recently seemed to have taken its responsibility seriously, but that completing the project will require sustained attention.
The city has spent more than $13 million to acquire the property, relocate businesses and widen Chavez Parkway. Mercado Alliance paid a token amount for the land.
Rudolph Pimentel, a business owner and property owner in Barrio Logan, said he can't help but notice that developers have built up downtown in the nine years the Mercado property has been vacant.
A new baseball stadium has been designed and built less than a mile away from the Mercado site, and more than a dozen condo projects have gone up.
However, Pimentel said, Barrio Logan is still waiting for its shopping center.
"Nothing is happening in that neighborhood – absolutely nothing."

The Army is mobilizing — in a 21st-century kind of way.
Soldiers armed with smart phones are finding new ways to fight and subsequently redefining the battlefield. They can share intelligence and translate languages with what amounts basically to the common cell phone.
"This isn't the future. This is now," said Lt. Col. Greg Motes of the Army Signal Center at Fort Gordon, Ga.
Controlling fighter jets, tanks, missiles and machine guns is another way to use the devices, Col. Motes said. Smart phones also could be used for facial recognition to spot enemies and fingerprinting to identify prisoners.

Manage your hardware
In the old days, mobile phones had only one radio for making voice calls. Besides a radio to handle regular cellular voice and data services, today's smartphones can also have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and sometimes GPS radios.
9. Turn off unused radios. Switched-on radios use power even if they're not being used. Learn where on your smartphone to turn off each specific radio. On most Windows Mobile devices, for instance, if you press and hold down the Home button, a dialog box appears in which you can easily turn radios on or off.
10. Watch the time. Cellular radios work harder when a lot of people are accessing the network. "Calling at three in the morning uses less battery than calling at supper time," says Cadex Electronics CEO Buchmann. Granted, calling at 3:00 in the morning probably isn't convenient for you or the person you're calling, but if you're an early bird on the West Coast, 7 a.m. might be the perfect time to call a contact on the East Coast.
11. Know where you are. Buchmann notes that radios work harder in areas in which there is a lot of electrical "noise." That means you'll use less power in an outdoor park than in a shopping mall or hospital, where a lot of electrical devices are in use.
Radios also work harder to find signals in areas with spotty or nonexistent coverage. If you are in an area with poor coverage and you aren't expecting messages, turn your radios off.
12. Slow down. Using 3G services such as HSPA or EV-DO requires more power than older, slower 2.5G services such as EDGE or 1xRTT. Not all applications require the utmost speed; you're unlikely to notice much difference between 2.5G and 3G service, for instance, for checking e-mail. Some phones, such as Apple's iPhone 3G, enable you to switch to slower access to save battery power. Learn if your phone has that option, and if so, use it when appropriate.
13. Use a corded headset. Bluetooth headsets have their own radio, which uses up battery power. Switching to a corded headset, which doesn't use a separate radio, and you'll be talking after others' batteries have run dry.
While you may not look as cool, Best Buy's Meister points to one additional benefit. "Some people think you get better audio quality with wired headsets," he says.
14. Use auto shut-off. Some devices, such as BlackBerries, have a setting that shuts off your device at a specific time. "It'll automatically power the phone off at, say, 11 p.m. and turn it back on at 7 a.m.," says Andrew Bocking, director of handheld software product management at BlackBerry maker Research In Motion. "That way, you don't have to remember."

SALT LAKE CITY — Park City's Ben Saarel made a statement at the 3A state cross country meet on Wednesday afternoon.
He not only capped off his high school running career with a third consecutive individual state title, but he also became just the second male runner to complete the Sugarhouse Park course in less than 15 minutes.
Sugarhouse Park and Highland High have been the home of the state meet since 1998.
"I am really grateful. It has been an awesome experience in high school, I couldn't ask for anything more," Saarel said after posting a time of 14:56.7. The record, set in 2007 by Luke Puskedra of Judge Memorial, is 14:54.6.
"With a mile to go, I decided I needed to go for it," Saarel conintued. "I was feeling good and I am a second-half runner. That last 800 meters hurt so bad, I was trying to relax; there was just a lot of anger and pain. I saw the time at the end and I was close, but I was not quite able to pull (the record) out."
Park City coach Jeff Wyant met Saarel at the finish line and celebrated the near record and his third individual title.
"This is his third state championship in a row, which not many guys have done," the coach said. "There are not many of those walking around."
Wyant's girls' team also had a strong day. The Miners won the girls' 3A title and narrowly missed the team record time — they were also just two seconds shy. The top five Park City runners had a combined time of 1:33:52.1. The fastest girls team ever, the 1999 Bingham squad, ran the course in 1:33:50.8.
"This is one of the fastest teams ever assembled in Utah," Wyant said, noting that Alyssa Snyder set the sophomore course record of 18:31.2 in her fifth-place finish.
"We had a plan; we knew what we were trying to do," Wyant continued. "At a mile I was a little scared that we were out too fast, but they came through and did it."
The Miners were led by Annie Orr, who finished third overall with a time of 18:16.3, fourth-place finisher Alisse Walker, 18:24.8, and Snyder, who came in fifth.
"Ali and Annie have led the team and focused them on training right, eating right, doing everything right," Wyant said. "It really came from the team more than it has in years past."
The Park City girls have won five consecutive team titles and 10 of the last 11.
In the boys' team competition, Ogden High sailed past the competition with 67 points.
The Tigers were led by second-place finisher Jordon Cross, who finished the race with a time of 15:30.3, and Mike Buckley, 10th overall with a time of 16:07.0.
Cedar City's Aimee Bryson, a junior cross country and track participant, won the individual girls title. She ran in a time of 17:59.6, setting a 3A record.
"I never was in the lead," Bryson said. "I just kind of tucked in behind the leaders and let them take turns going in front. I started to make my move probably 400 meter before the finish. I didn't want to take it too soon because I know these guys are such good runners."

Intel Introduces '3-Series' Chipsets at Computex
Subject: Chipsets | June 5, 2007 - 02:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 5, 2007 - In his opening keynote at the Computex computer trade show, Intel Corporation Executive Vice President Sean Maloney unveiled the new Intel 3 Series Chipset family along with several other technology plans that surround the company's popular Intel Core 2 Duo and Quad processors for home and business PC users.
The products enable a number of innovative features for today's PCs such as greater PC performance, clearer definition video and storage technologies that help better protect valuable data. Maloney, also Intel's general manager, Sales and Marketing Group, and chief sales and marketing officer, said the chipsets are also designed to be used with the company's upcoming Intel 45 nanometer (nm) "Penryn family" processors expected later this year. More than 100 motherboard designs are underway, and he expects the new chipset family to be the fastest growing in Intel's history.

Americans shouldn't have to endure massive budget cuts because BP took a $13 billion tax deduction at the expense of the Gulf of Mexico. So we're teaming up with our friends at CREDO to tell BP to amend its tax return and pay its fair share. Will you help to?
Click here to sign the petition telling BP to stop dodging, and pay their taxes.
It's only been one year since the U.S. Supreme Court decided to give corporations unlimited influence in elections, but the damage is already clear:
Last fall, shadowy groups like Karl Rove's American Crossroads spent hundreds of millions of dollars to influence elections, and they never even had to say where they got the money from. Just weeks later, the Congress Rove and others helped elect voted to cut off health insurance for 32 million Americans.
It has to stop.
So USAction/TrueMajority members are teaming up with our allies at Public Citizen to end corporate control of elections once and for all by changing the Constitution so only people - not companies - have control.
Sign here to be part of the solution.
While we don't know all the details of Saturday's terrible tragedy in Arizona, we do know that Rep. Gabrielle (Gabby) Giffords was shot while serving her constituents. Six others lost their lives, including a nine-year-old little girl and U.S. District Judge John Roll.1
Take a moment to light a candle and leave a note. Linda Brown, the Director of our local affiliate the Arizona Advocacy Network, will personally deliver all your comments in the next few days.
Light a virtual candle for the shooting victims
In June, Republican Senators were able to keep millions of unemployed Americans from receiving their benefits for over a month, using a "filibuster" to prevent any vote. Last month, they used it again and almost killed a bill to give health care coverage to the injured 9/11 Ground Zero rescue workers. It's now used over and over and over - 259 times in the last four years!
It's time to fix that rule and put the Senate back to work.
Tell your Senators to Fix the Filibuster and end the tyranny of the minority.
We could cut over $960 billion from the Department of Defense and be just as safe as we are now. Perhaps even safer.
With the national debt continuing to soar, unemployment teetering around 10 percent and the threat of a double-dip recession hovering, the last thing we need is for a government bureaucracy rife with inefficiencies to continue costing us billions of dollars with no overhaul in sight.
But there is another way.
Led by Congressmen Barney Frank and Ron Paul, a bipartisan group in Congress is demanding an honest look at military spending without sacrificing our safety.
The good news? Over $960 billion could be cut without endangering our current safeguards and programs. The bad news? This opportunity is probably not on your member of Congress's radar.
Which is why we need your help.
Send a message to your member of Congress, asking him or her to sign on in support of Congressman Frank's effort to clean up the wasteful spending in the Pentagon!
We've had a five-month oil spill that has dumped over 200 million gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico and tar balls washing up on beaches in Florida, and still BP plans to claim billions in tax breaks. Meanwhile, Congress can't seem to hike its pants up, tie its shoes and find a real solution. Harry Reid and the Senate gave up.
But we haven't.
Wednesday, we announced a new campaign to end tax giveaways to oil companies. We're ready to take the fight all the way to the doors of Congress if need be.
Chip in $30 to help us meet our goal!
As the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig continues to spill over 1 million gallons of oil into the Gulf every day, Republicans are demanding less regulation for companies like BP and Transocean while also looking for a taxpayer-funded bailout of BP. Yeah, I'm serious.
After a month of oil spewing into the Gulf, the cost of cleaning up BP's mess is $542 million and counting. But a group of Republican senators led by Lisa Murkowski of Alaska want the company to pay for only the first five days of the cleanup and put taxpayers on the hook for everything else.
That's right, Murkowski and her pals want to "Bail out BP."
We need to tell Murkowski and her Senate colleagues that this is not OK. Can you send a message to your Senators that it's time to end offshore drilling and focus on clean energy instead?
Send a message.
The anti-immigrant racism we're reading so much about in Arizona flared into actual violence last week at our own affiliate's offices in Seattle. Marcelas Owens, an 11-year-old member of the group, said "I know we're on the right track because they wouldn't do things like this if we weren't as powerful as we are."
We *are* powerful when we stand together against violence and hate. The march for immigrant rights went forward as planned (see photo above).
Join us in sending a message to Arizona Governor Jan Brewer that real immigration reform doesn't include racial profiling and unjust search and seizure.

This Great Recession has had a vicious double impact on local economies:
First, nearly 1 in 10 Americans are out of work. Second, the downturn has starved local governments of resources they need to fix potholes, hire teachers and keep cops on the beat.
But we can solve this problem and make our tax dollars do double duty by investing in public jobs that put people back to work.
President Roosevelt did it during the Great Depression with the Works Progress Administration. And now progressive champ Rep. George Miller has proposed the Local Jobs for America Act to put 1 million people back to work in the same way.
But with Congress just back from recess, we need a BIG show of support to create momentum and get this important bill a hearing. Click here to sign the petition and urge your elected officials to support the bill.
Sign the petition.
The $3.8 trillion budget that President Obama announced yesterday gives us a second chance to win the change in priorities we've sought for years.
Last year, TrueMajority members proved that sensible budgets CAN be achieved when we won a huge fight to end wasteful Pentagon projects like the F-22 fighter jet.
That victory saved billions of dollars that can now be used to build schools and restart the economy. This year we have a chance to save $2.5 billion MORE by ending the C-17, another plane we don't need. Tell Congress to stop building C-17s, and other Pentagon toys we don't need.
By now you've probably seen the news, but it's worth repeating: after years of work, this month
we WON the battle to end the outmoded F-22 fighter jet.
That will free up billions of dollars in tax money, which can be available for projects which
truly build America's strength. More importantly, though, the victory has shifted the playing
field. Mere days before this historic Senate vote, the conventional wisdom was what it has
always been: that you just can't kill a weapons program which defense contractors want. But t
hen the program WAS voted down, by an unexpected bipartisan majority of Senators. And in a
surprise announcement the very next day Rep. John Murtha, by most accounts the biggest player
in the Pentagon pork business, said he wouldn't fight anymore for the F-22 jets.
The point is: the tide we have been swimming against for so long has turned.
Dr. Howard Dean has been a physician, a governor, a presidential candidate and the head of the Democratic
National Committee. If there is one guy in America who knows what's wrong with our healthcare system and can
make sense of the current debate, it's him.

And now...
My 87yo MIL who lives next door fell this morning getting out bed. She reached for her cabinet nightstand to steady herself and it fell on her. FIL is on Hospice care and bed/chair ridden so neither of them were able to call for help. Thankfully FIL's nurse that gets him up came shortly after her fall and called my SIL who called us. My DH was able to get her up, to the bathroom and into a chair, but we think something is broken or fractured in her lower leg or ankle. She's going in for x-rays at 11:15. I'll be staying with FIL, which makes me extremely nervous because he is 100% dependent on others for everything, including toilet issues, which I've never had to help with and uh, just feels... weird.
And long term- even if she didn't fracture anything she is not going to be able to be main caregiver for awhile... and if she did it will be even longer that she can't be main caregiver... but none of us are really in a position to be, either. I have no idea what we are going to do at this point!!!!! I can help some days when my kids are in school, but not when they are home-- I tried being caregiver a few years back when he still had mobility and only needed a fraction of the care he needs now and things would happen with him that I had to go tend to and my kids would end up alone for an hour or more... they were old enough to be mostly independent and were just next door, but still... it just wasn't doable for the long run. And now he is 100% dependent.
But DH's family holds firmly to the belief that family takes care of family and never a nursing home-- since I am next door I know they are going to try to guilt/pressure me into it-- but I know my limitations and have 3 kids-- I just can't be there all day, every day!!!
If you are the praying sort, please pray about this whole situation!!!! Thanks!
That is really a difficult position to be in. I will be sending prayers your way.
I know that there are resources out there to help keep eldery people in their own homes, but I'm not sure how much help that they'd be for someone who is totally dependant on others. Not sure if your county has a department on aging or not, but that would be where I would start.
Quoting TerriC:
Sorry to hear about all of this! I am hoping and praying it all works out!
Thanks, Terri. I was over with him until 11:30am and then his bath nurses came. They are staying until 2pm and getting his lunch for him and then a hospice volunteer will be with him for a few hours. Phil (my DH) and MIL should be home by then and we can take care of getting their dinner and his sister (lives just down the street from us) can then help them to bed. We're all here all weekend, so that buys us some time to see what we're dealing with and figure out a plan.

We met with the Office of the Aging for our county when we were meeting with Hospice and various private home health companies. What O of the A offered was about the same as what we get through the home health company we hired + hospice. No one does full time day care (unless you can pay it per hour from a private comapny). So we try to work around the times that aren't covered by getting him pottied, fed, etc. from the nurses while they are there and having things prepped well, helping MIL with laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc...
If/when he is actively dying hospice could be there as many hours as necessary, but we aren't there yet. So... we are trying to keep him at home. Last Feb. he fell and broke his hip and was in the hospital/rehab for over 2 months. He never wants to leave their house again to be in a hospital or home, and yet if MIL is incapacitated I'm not seeing another way.
Phil and his mom are back home. She went to the doctor and he doesn't think anything is broken. Her range of motion was good and she didn't have terrible pain doing those things. She complains of a tingly feeling, but he thinks that's just the blood pooling in the surrounding tissues. She's to elevate her leg and ice it. He wants her to use a walker from now on when getting up in the morning.
I hope everything works out for you i know what you going through before my fil passed he was like this
You really have your hands full. My MIL lived with us for a couple of years. She was pretty mobile then and was able to go up and down our steps. She got really sick about 2 years ago and ended up in and out of the hospital frequently and it was then that she decided that she was better off in a nursing home. She always said she never wanted to "end up in a nursing home", but now she loves it. That is so much for people to handle. It is so stressful. Good luck and of course, prayers.

LXer: Microsoft's secret weapon against Google Maps -- open source
Published at LXer:
One of the many areas where Google is far ahead of Microsoft is mapping, with Google Maps by far the dominant map service on the Internet. Microsoft is employing an under-the-radar approach to fighting back, lending big support and big dollars to the open source map project OpenStreetMap. It looks as if the tactic is starting to pay off.

Shane Mwrote a review of Fox Racing Reflex Gel Gloves on March 14, 2013
Great "feel" MTB gloves.
Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Tested these gloves when it got warm out, they fit snug and tight. The gel is in the right places so as not to interfere with keeping a good grip and getting the feel of the bike while riding hard. Good colors, good look, well worth the amount paid (under $25). I'll probably buy a second pair with different colors to boot.

Fallout 4 is no longer a rumor. Bethesda has officially announced that it is indeed a real game that is really being made. Alongside the announcement of Fallout 4, Bethesda has a released a reveal trailer for the newly announced Post-Apocalypse RPG. You can watch the trailer below.
The trailer looks like it is using actual in-game footage, possibly even real gameplay. Which is nice. I've seen some people are disappointed with the visuals, but honestly this looks great to me. Colorful and filled with variety.
I think Fallout 4 is game that should look good, but those looks shouldn't come at the cost of a big open world filled with tons of quests and characters. The graphics quality shown in the trailer looks totally doable on PS4 and Xbox One, which is a nice change from trailers like Watch_Dogs. Those trailers were basically hopeful lies. This looks like an actual game that could actually run on modern consoles. And what I see has me excited.
No word on a release date and no real information on the story or setup for Fallout 4, but Bethesda is promising to reveal more at E3 and it sounds like we will be getting a nice and long gameplay demo at E3. So I can't wait to see that. Now the real question: Will Fallout 4 come out this year? Or is this a 2016 game? We will have to wait for E3 to find out.
Fallout 4 is coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC sometime in the future. Tune in to the Bethesda E3 Showcase on June 14th to find out more and to see more about Fallout 4. You can also read our preview of the Bethesda E3 event.

Matt Ellis a Mainstay for Buffalo Sabres?January 7, 2009
Forward Matt Ellis has quickly become a favorite among some Buffalo Sabres fans.
Since the winger has been called up, Ellis has five points in nine games with Buffalo, with four of those points coming in the past two games against the Ottawa Senators and the Boston Bruins.
Sure, the scoring is bound to die down. This is most likely just a routine fourth-liner catching fire at a good time for the Sabres, but let's look at what else Ellis brings to the table.
Much like the rest of his fellow third- and fourth-liners, like Paul Gaustad and Patrick Kaleta, Ellis brings some much-needed grit into the Sabres' lineup (especially with Kaleta out with a neck injury).
However, unlike a lot of the Sabres this year, Ellis has given his all, if not more, in each and every single game he's played in, giving no less than 100 percent.
The Sabres are 9-3-4 in the 16 games that Ellis has played in Buffalo this season, with the Sabres collecting 22 points in those games. Without Ellis in the lineup, the Sabres are 11-12-1, collecting 23 points in 24 games. Considering the Sabres have collected just one more point in eight more games without Ellis, keeping the gritty forward in Buffalo for a while may be a good idea.
Unfortunately, Ellis may fall victim to a numbers game soon. With the return of C Tim Connolly at hand, the Sabres are going to have to shed a forward.
The likely choice is to send down D Chris Butler, who in his recent call-up to the Sabres has filled in quite well on the defensive side. Butler can freely go between the NHL and the AHL without having to go on waivers, which is good news for the Sabres, who at this point, should ride any wave they can in order to keep winning.
Here's a message to the team: Keep riding the Ellis wave.

SPRINGFIELD — Voters will get the chance to restructure the public body that oversees the conduct of judges under a proposed amendment to the Illinois Constitution that cleared the House on Wednesday.
The measure, which was earlier passed by the Senate and was originally suggested by Gov. Jim Edgar after last year's controversy over the actions of Illinois Supreme Court Justice James Heiple, will go on the November ballots. It will require approval by at least 60 percent of those voting on the amendment or a majority of those voting in the election to become part of the state constitution.

AT&T drops 16GB iPhone 5 to $99 as part of a 50% off smartphone promotion
Earlier this morning Walmart began an awesome new deal offering all 16GB iPhone 5 units for $129 on a two-year contract. Perhaps the best part is that this deal isn't a special promotional offer, it's here to stay. But, in the short term the supermarket giant has been trumped by the once exclusive carrier of the iPhone: AT&T.
America's #2 network provider has slashed a number of its smartphones down as part of its 50% off promotion. Included in that is the iPhone. A 16GB version will only cost you $99 at AT&T, saving a full $30 versus the Walmart price. If you opt for a refurbished model, you can pick one up for just $74.99.
All this dropping in price raises speculation that Apple is wanting to clear its inventory of iPhone 5 units before the arrival of the next generation iPhone. It's generally expected that the 7th gen model will be the iPhone 5S; a slightly beefed up version of the iPhone 5 featuring a dual LED flash, bigger battery and faster processor.

SYDNEY, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Organizers of the annual Sydney Skinny, a skinny dipping event in Australia, said hundreds of people bared all in the ocean for a world record attempt.
The organizers of the second annual Sydney Skinny said they aimed to set a world record this year for nude swimming and led participants Sunday on a 2,952-foot swim, or a 984-foot swim for novices, at Cobbler's Beach in Sydney Harbor National Park, the British newspaper the Independent reported Monday.
Nigel Marsh, founder of the event, said it raised money for Australia's National Parks and Wildlife Projects as well as promoting the idea of "greater body acceptance."
Marsh said participants use the Sydney Skinny "to throw aside concerns of body image, to connect with nature and celebrate living with more courage and kindness."
A head count for Sunday's event was not yet available Monday.

Performance Comparison Between Filters and Wavelet Transform in Image Denoising for Different Noises
An image is often corrupted by noise in its acquisition and transmission. Removing noise from the original image is still a challenging problem for researchers. In this paper, three types of noise (Gaussian noise, Salt & Pepper noise and Speckle noise) is used and image de-noising is performed for different noises by Median filter and Wiener filter, Linear Statistical filter, Symlet Wavelet. Further results have been compared for all noises between different filters and Symlet wavelet Transform. Further results have been compared for all noises.

A PS to my earlier post about Anna of Kiev: I remember

at all of her country, and before she arrived from Russia were
half expecting her to be a savage - but then it turned out that
she was the only one among them who could read & write.
Does anyone know if that is true?

The prohibiltion on marriage within seven degrees was medieval established
in the ninth century by the Pseudo-Isidorean decretals, but apparently not
firmly or widely understood until considerably later - or even today,
perhaps: Constance Bouchard in her article _Consanguinity and Noble
Marriages in the Tenth and Eleventh Centuries_ in *Speculum* 56.2 (1981)
writes that "First-cousin marriages were unknown" in this period, yet other
experts including Jean-Pierre Poly and Thierry Stasser postulate such a
marriage for no less a luminary than Raimon III (Pons I), count of Toulouse
around 950, for instance.
As to the marriage of king Henri to Agnesa/Anna of Kiev, Bouchard (loc cit)
says "Here at last was a royal bride (contemporary sources call Yaroslav a
king) unrelated to the western European kings. The need of western kings for
such brides is demonstrated by the fact that Henry, who had long remained
unmarried, finally took as his bride a girl of the very first generation of
the grand dukes of Kiev whose religion made them acceptable spouses". Unless
he grew fat through an aversion to connubial exercise, I think this is as
good an explanation of the marriage as we can expect today. The king may
also have had an eye to the future, since having such an exotic mother could
make marital alliances closer to home a bit easier for their children to
At any rate there does not seem to be evidence of a better reason for
Henri's choice. Anna is said to have arrived in France "pluribus donis", but
Marion Facinger considers that this "does not seem to have been an important
element in the marriage negotiations" of French kings at the time [_A Study
of Medieval Queenship: Capetian France 987 - 1237_, *Studies in Medieval and
Renaissance History* 5 (1968)]. She also says that Anna does not emerge from
the surviving records as more than a conventionally pious queen, which
doesn't inspire me to think of her as another Helen of Troy.

Though there are customers who prefer social media and others who prefer e-mail for communicating with companies, firms themselves still largely use the communication channel that they, rather than the ones that their customers prefer, according to Carrie Scott, director of product marketing for Message Systems, Columbia, Md.
About half of customers prefer each channel. Yet most businesses have yet to determine which channels different customers prefer, Scott added. "If they monitor customer behavior they can get out in front and communicate with customers in the way they prefer."
In other words, if the customer communicates with the company via e-mail, that is likely the preferred channel. The same is true of social media. Many customers will switch between the two.
In its inaugural Marketing Channel and Engagement Benchmark Survey, Message Systems found that e-mail remains the most popular marketing channel, with 97 percent of respondents leveraging it for marketing campaigns, yet social media is rising in popularity, with 70 percent indicating that they market through social networks.
"Social media enables companies to capture dialogue in the moment," Scott said. But e-mail still tends to be more efficient for presenting larger amounts of information.
According to the survey, social media and mobile are changing the customer communications landscape, yet email marketing still greatly outperforms social media when it comes to driving sales and delivering return on investment. E-mail is the most successful and profitable marketing channel, with 63 percent of respondents reporting that email delivers the greatest ROI compared to only 10 percent for social.
E-mails superior performance is likely because it is a more established communications channel, Scott said. But, as the survey indicated, social media is quickly gaining ground.
"Despite recent reports that the return on investment with email marketing has been declining over the past few years, our survey found that email is thriving, and driving more revenue and conversions than any other channel," George Schlossnagle, CEO of Message Systems, said upon release of the survey findings. "In fact, nearly 70 percent of our customers reported that their email marketing returns have actually trended upwards in the past five years. Additionally, the survey findings that engagement efforts are often held back by difficulties around data sourcing and technological shortcomings fall completely in line with our market position that a single unified platform for integrating customer data and customer communications makes the most sense for today's customer-centric organizations."
Other survey findings:
• Social marketing is growing, especially for engaging customers. Although most customers prefer to be contacted via email, marketers are increasingly using social media to engage with customers and interact in a two-way dialogue – 64 percent of respondents said they added social media in the past year to obtain greater engagement.
• Businesses are using SMS text more often for engaging customers versus directly marketing products. Companies plan to invest mainly in social media (44 percent) and email (40 percent), but SMS text came in a solid third (22 percent), to revamp customer engagement strategies in the next year.
• Marketers see the highest returns on holiday marketing in December and January. As expected, December delivers the highest returns for holiday marketing, with 50 percent reporting their highest ROI in the month. Yet surprisingly, the study revealed that companies see their second highest holiday marketing returns (38 percent) in January – generally considered after the holiday season.
• Nearly half – 47 percent – of companies responding have adapted social media (listing Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter specifically) as a channel for two-way customer dialogue, trailing only phone and email, and far outpacing SMS text and IM chat, both at 8 percent.
• Nearly 58 percent of respondents feel that issues around data sourcing and technological shortcomings are currently holding back their email / customer engagement efforts, or have in the past.
• A majority – 51 percent - of respondents do not yet offer their customers a preference center or have the ability to track customer preferences for how they prefer to receive communication.
• Seventy-two percent of respondents feel that if they were to consider adding new channels (SMS, IM, Social etc.) to their engagement program that it would be more advantageous to manage those channels on an in-sourced basis.

Joan Collins blames ego for many Hollywood splits.
The 'Dynasty' star was not surprised that Russell Brand and Katy Perry recently announced their 14-month marriage is to end because she thinks famous people in relationships with one another can find it difficult.
She said: "It was written in the gods! I don't know either of them. It was sad about Demi and Ashton, though. Two actors together can be difficult. I was engaged to Warren Beatty but I was more famous than him at the time. The ego can be in play with actors, particularly when you are young."
While other famous marriages break up, Joan, 78, is still "blissfully happy" with her husband of almost 10 years, Percy Gibson.
She said: "I'm blissfully happy. Percy is the one. Isn't it amazing that I would meet him in my 60s? He is the love of my life, my soulmate – he is kind, clever, funny and everything I dreamed of. We had been together for around six months when September 11 happened. We knew we had to be committed to each other. Forever. Respect each other and give each other space. And have separate bathrooms!"
