Astrophysicist Fang, an inspiration to the students, sought refuge at the U.S. embassy in Beijing during the crackdown. A year later he and his wife were permitted to leave China for England. Since 1992 he has taught physics at the University of Arizona. ZHAO ZIYANG
General Secretary of the Communist Party, Zhao was a student sympathizer and reformist. He has been under informal house arrest since the massacre. Last year he publicly released a letter asking government leaders to declare Tiananmen a terrible mistake.
A top aide to Zhao, Bao was arrested and imprisoned days before the crackdown. He was released in May 1998. This March he too sent a passionate letter to China's leaders, urging them to reassess Tiananmen and call the suppression of the student demonstrators wrong.
A history student at Peking University, Wang was one of the protest's organizers. He served almost seven years in prison and was released in April 1998--two months before President Bill Clinton's visit--for medical reasons. He is now a student at Harvard.

ATLANTA — Hank Aaron's 715th-home-run anniversary celebration wouldn't have been complete without a Babe Ruth appearance Tuesday night.
Bartolo Colon, belly hanging over his belt, looked the part at least.
The Mets received a jumbo performance from the veteran right-hander and ruined the Braves' home opener with a 4-0 victory in front of 47,144 at Turner Field.
Before the game, the Braves honored Aaron on the 40th anniversary of the home run that pushed him ahead of Ruth on baseball's all-time list. But the party ended there for the Braves.
Colon kept the Braves swinging early in the count and finished with seven shutout innings in which he allowed six hits and no walks.
"I felt great, and especially when you face a team as tough as Atlanta you prepare to be very tough mentally," Colon said. "That's how I felt today. I prepared very well for this game."
Kyle Farnsworth and Jose Valverde each added a scoreless inning, securing the Mets' third victory in their last four games. But Valverde provided some drama by loading the bases in the ninth before retiring Jason Heyward on a deep fly to center that ended the game.
Ahead 1-0 in the seventh, the Mets received an RBI single from Ruben Tejada against Gus Schlosser before Eric Young Jr. singled in another run.
In the eighth, manager Terry Collins won his second straight replay review to begin the season. Juan Lagares was called out at first base by umpire Mark Ripperger on a slow grounder, but the decision was overturned after Collins challenged. Tejada's two-out bloop RBI single gave the Mets a 4-0 lead.
Collins was certainly grateful for the production from the bottom of his lineup, as his big guns continue to struggle.
"We've got to swing the bats better," Collins said. "If you ever told me David Wright would be hitting [.192] at the beginning of the year I would have laughed because I've never seen him not hit over .300 for at least three-quarters of the season if not the whole season. We've got to get it going."
Travis d'Arnaud singled with two outs in the fourth, snapping a hitless streak that had reached 16 at-bats to begin the season. D'Arnaud finished the night 2-for-4 and is batting .105.
"It felt good to see that first hit go through," d'Arnaud said. "It was relieving."
It was d'Arnaud's leadoff double in the seventh against Schlosser that led to the Mets' second run. Tejada then delivered an RBI single, giving Colon a two-run cushion.
Tejada raced home from third base with the game's first run on a wild pitch by Aaron Harang in the third. Tejada and Young walked in the inning to get the rally started.
Harang, who finished last season with the Mets and was cut by the Indians in spring training, allowed one run on two hits and four walks with nine strikeouts over six innings for the Braves. The veteran right-hander struck out the side in the fifth and had a streak of five straight strikeouts end in the sixth, when Curtis Granderson walked.
Colon was even better for the Mets, pounding the strike zone and keeping the Braves off balance. The right-hander was less effective in his Mets debut, allowing three earned runs on nine hits over six innings in a loss to the Nationals last Wednesday.
"He commands all his pitches and what else can you ask for from a pitcher?" d'Arnaud said.
For Colon, it was a matter of challenging a team that likes to swing early in the count.
"It also works both ways because they actually know that I throw a lot of strikes," Colon said. "So they swing a lot and that actually helps my game."

A spokesman for the BBC has denied stories that the broadcaster plans to charge for use of its BBC iPlayer service.
News broke on Monday that the BBC was considering initiating a micro-payments model to finance its long-term challenge of bringing its vast archive of films and programmes - many currently gathering dust in storage - to the fingertips of its millions of iPlayer users. However the BBC now wants to make it clear that plans to charge for iPlayer as it is now are not part of its future intentions.
Currently, there is a free (to Licence Fee payers) iPlayer catch-up service that lets people view aired-on-TV content for up to seven-days. It is understood if the BBC were to start making its aforementioned dust-gathering archive available online, there wouldn't be enough money from the current Licence Fee to pay for the implementation of it all. Therefore one of the "future-gazing" new ideas to fund the implementation - of bringing archived content to the public - is introduce 'micro-payments' via the iPlayer; while keeping what the iPlayer currently offers free.
The current official statement from the beeb is "We never stop future-gazing at the BBC and there are always a number of new ideas under discussion. Any such ideas would need to be developed in conjunction with the industry and with rights-holders and they would certainly not lead to a two-tier licence fee"
What do you think of the idea of having to make micro-payments to view otherwise archived content to BBC iPlayer? Have your say in our poll.

Wwyd? Serious advice needed!
My bil was arrested, that is all I can disclose, that and it is not for murder, but the FBI was involved. His bail is set at half a million. My sil is missing 5 grand. We want to help considering it seems like a set up. Wwyd?
I guess I can put out what the news reported? He is/was a police officer and they arrested him on grand larceny charges.
Quoting Mamasgirl524:
Need more info?
What seems like a set up? The BIL getting arrested or the SIL missing five grand?
I wouldn't get involved. Normal, regular, everyday people don't get arrested by the FBI for no reason. Either they are doing the wrong thing or they are involved with people doing the wrong thing. You don't want any part of that.
He will not run.
Quoting sstef126:
If he runs, you will lose what you put up......
IF you can afford to do it and not get the money back anytime soon, then I would do it

In a Renaissance palace off St. Peter's Square, twelve Vatican-appointed "qualifiers" daily scrutinize books from all over the world. They confer regularly with 24 consultants, and if a book is found to be contrary to Catholic faith and morals, nine cardinals review their findings. Together, the three groups form the Holy Office's book-censoring department, and on their recommendation the Pope places works on the Index of Forbidden Books. So far, John XXIII has not Indexed any; Pius XII placed 23 authors on the list, including Jean Paul Sartre, Andre Gide and Alberto Moravia....

Art Briles: Baylor's new football stadium is already turning heads
Floyd Casey Stadium is entering its final season as the home field for the Baylor Bears this year. Instead of renovating the off-campus stadium even more than it already has been, Waco will get a brand new, riverside stadium at the beginning of the 2014 season.
As of now, it's still being built from the ground up and resembles a skeleton of what the final product will be. ESPN's David Ubben sat down with head coach Art Briles to talk about the stadium.
Briles told him that it's changing the perception of his school.
'It's a reality that Baylor didn't need to have, it had to have, for first of all, national perception, regional perception and for recruiting purposes, not only for our athletics, but for our academics, because it certainly changed 42 million people's view of Baylor University every time they drive down I-35,' Briles said. 'They look over there and they say, 'Baylor's doing it right, all the way across the board."
Here's something else that is pretty nifty. If you click this link, you can see a live look at the construction of the stadium. You can also go back and see archived footage of its inception.

The best "Smelly Cat" ever!
Read on!
Fresh Malicious Gossip from the Jim & Kim morning show…
Johnny Depp loves candles. According to Star magazine, he spends about $100 dollars a day on lavender and spice scents for his trailer in Italy where he is filming "The Tourist" with Angelia Jolie.
(It's just so he doesn't have to smell himself…we hear he's very, uh, "odiferous." (He stinks.)
Speaking of scents, Antonio Banderas loves to smell good. Cindy Adams of the Post says the voice of "Puss in Boots" from the Shrek movies, has just launched his seventh fragrance, a cologne called "The Secret." The scent features hints of white grapefruit, mint, cinnamon, pepper, apple, musk, leather, wood and (wait for it…) tonka beans. That's right, tonka beans.
(Yes…now he smells like a small, metal, toy truck.)
And finally, those Progressive Insurance commercials featuring the character "Flo" have really taken off. We hear a celebrity impersonator has kicked off a lucrative business in front of Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood and charges five-bucks to tourists that want a picture with the fake, perky actress.
(She's standing next to a guy impersonating the Sham-Wow guy.)

* Both S&P 500 and Dow coming off record closing highs
* Tesla Motors rallies after profit outlook
* European markets closed
* Indexes off: Dow 0.20 pct, S&P 0.58 pct, Nasdaq 0.90 pct
By Chuck Mikolajczak
NEW YORK, April 1 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks declined on Monday after weaker-than-expected U.S. manufacturing data gave investors reason to book profits after both the Dow and S&P 500 set record closing highs in the prior session.
The Institute for Supply Management's March manufacturing reading of 51.3 continued to show expansion, but activity slowed from the 54.2 reading in February.
A separate report showed construction spending rose more than expected in February, gaining 1.2 percent, compared with forecasts of a 1 percent rise.
"We went into the first quarter with all the concern about the fiscal cliff, people had adjusted expectations lower, now expectations have come back up, so it's going to be a little bit tougher hurdle right now," said Peter Jankovskis, co-chief investment officer at OakBrook Investments LLC in Lisle, Illinois.
"When you have that sort of a record run, the market finishes at an all-time high for the quarter, it's not unusual to see some profit taking."
The benchmark S&P index remains within 16 points of its record intraday high of 1,576.09, but moves may be limited this week in the absence of major catalysts before the closely-watched U.S. payrolls report on Friday.
The S&P 500 ended March with a record closing high, boosted by its best quarterly performance in a year, although the index struggled to reach the new record in recent weeks after another flare-up of the euro zone debt crisis.
For the year, the S&P is up 9.5 percent, the Dow is up 11.1 percent and the Nasdaq is up 7.4 percent.
With the strong start to the year, many investors have anticipated a pullback, with the market potentially facing more downside risks as uncertainty over the economic situation in Cyprus continues. European markets were closed on Monday for a holiday.
But with economic data not showing especially strong readings, investors speculate the Federal Reserve will continue the stimulus measures that have helped put a floor in equity prices and limiting dips.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 29.42 points, or 0.20 percent, to 14,549.12. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost 9.04 points, or 0.58 percent, to 1,560.15. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 29.32 points, or 0.90 percent, to 3,238.20.
In company news, Tesla Motors Inc surged 18.1 percent to $44.74 after forecasting full profitability in the first quarter, citing strong sales of its Model S sedan.
Apple Inc shares fell 2 percent to $433.83 and were the biggest drag on both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes. Portfolio manager Will Danoff, whose $92 billion Fidelity Contrafund is the largest active shareholder in Apple, cut the fund's stake in the iPhone maker 10 percent during the first two months of 2013.
Dell Inc warned that it would be dangerous to take on a lot of debt and remain a public company given its worsening profit outlook, in a sign that it views proposals from Blackstone Group LP and billionaire investor Carl Icahn as fraught with risk. The comments came on Friday, which was a holiday for U.S. markets.
Shares of Dell dipped 0.6 percent to $14.25.

PRAGUE, Oct 4 (Reuters) - The Czech central bank should avoid sudden shifts in its policy of keeping the crown currency weak and ensure it does not shock the economy when it eventually exits the intervention regime next year, Industry Minister Jan Mladek said.
The bank has kept the crown on the weak side of 27 to the euro since 2013 and last week shifted the earliest possible end to the policy until the second quarter of next year while reiterating it expected to refloat the crown in mid-2017.
"A sudden change in the currency regime can threaten many firms," Mladek was quoted by daily Hospodarske Noviny as saying at an industry conference.
"It will be necessary to start the exit of interventions in a way that will not cause unnecessary shocks to the economy," he added in the article published on Tuesday
The weak crown policy, launched to lift inflation in the central European country, has given a boost to businesses and the economy, which is expected to grow more than 2 percent in 2016 before accelerating next year.
In 2015, the economy grew 4.6 percent, one of the fastest rates in the European Union thanks to an influx of development funds due to the end of a fund period.
Some businesses have worried about the impact once the crown is floating freely again.
The central bank has said repeatedly it would be ready to tame any currency swings once the weak crown policy finished.
It reiterated after its policy meeting on Sept. 29 that the crown would not strengthen sharply upon exit, due to pre-hedging by exporters, closing of long-crown positions and more central bank interventions if needed.

Today begins a weeklong series on Boundaries.
Before we jump in, let's take a minute and define boundaries and then we can talk about how to apply this to life and relationships.
Psychologically speaking, a boundary is like a property line. It denotes the beginning and end of something. A boundary takes on spatial, behavioral, verbal and personal space characteristics as it pertains to relationships.
These types of boundaries are intangible but take shape in the form of beliefs, perceptions, convictions, and understandings.
Boundaries are not an excuse to live behind an impenetrable wall like a hermit in order to avoid being hurt in relationship.
Boundaries are not designed to keep people isolated and alone or to be used in retaliation to intentionally hurt another person.
When personal boundaries are established and enforced in a healthy manner, they help to facilitate mutual respect and trust while creating a sense of "other-ness" within the relationship.
Boundaries that are too loose lead to being walked on like a door mat and boundaries that are too strict leave you secluded, unreachable and alone.
In typical boundary violations, it is commonly the offender who denies, justifies or blames others for the boundary crossing. These violations can range from trivial to severe and over time can be debilitating and destructive to the relationship.
I'm sure we all have many examples of times when someone close to us violated, disrespected or ignored our personal boundaries.
Here are just a few examples.
• Interrupting someone after they ask you not to
• Willfully intruding on someone's privacy without permission
• Telling others personal information that someone asked you to keep private
• Spending significant money without consulting your partner
• "Forgetting" your partner's request that you call if you'll be working late
I recently had a conversation with a friend who said she has a hard time with boundaries. Not the concept of boundaries so much, but the implementation of them.
My friend is relational to the core and a people pleaser. She has lived most of her life being manipulated and managed by people who have taken advantage of her.
In her mind enforcing her personal boundaries felt offensive to who she is as a "people person".
So this begs the question, can I be a "Christian" and have boundaries?
In a word, YES.
Psalm 16 is reflective of a life lived within the boundary lines that were established by God for a holy life. David sings about living within the boundaries assigned by the Lord and the rest and peace that come with staying within those boundaries.
When we live and operate within the boundary lines with God and others we are able to rest secure knowing that we are responding to one another in a manner that is pleasing to the Lord and is appropriate and respectful for the individuals involved.
I hope you will stop by the couch this week, as we will be talking about boundaries as it relates to kids, social media, online interactions, parent/child relationships, marriage and all the spaces in between.
How have you experienced your boundaries being violated and how did you feel when it happened?
Grace & Peace ~ Karen

I designed the base of the tricopter using Google Sketchup then exported it to SVG for Inkscape. Using the Inkscape files I had the design laser cut and shipped to me by Ponoko.com. You can get your own cut out of various materials from my Ponoko showroom. The total to have it cut and shipped was $28.53 for 5mm birch plywood.
For control Ill be using a Spectrum DX7 radio and a KK Multicopter controller.
The design is based on this one from rcexplorer.se
I updated the pictures showing some progress. It will fly but I haven taken it outside yet because of the weather. Snow and the electronics don't mix if it crashes. Until the weather improves, a couple inches off the ground in the living room will have to do. I still need to mount the battery better, isolate the board from vibration, and balance it it out for best performance.

An extreme bike advocacy group in Santa Monica called Crimanimal Mass made a statement in our neighborhood on Friday night by riding on the freeway at rush hour. About 30 cyclists invaded a local onramp and then wove through jammed traffic on the I-10, our main highway that runs from the ocean to downtown. I think this is their third freeway ride in the last few months. There is tons of criticism about the stunts, and an equal amount of support. Personally I don't mind a little radicalness to bang home a point. Here's a cool helmet-cam video from their first ride. Ride On, Cali! Read an article about it here (along with surprising updates about our school's molestation case, ug.)

Owensville Police Chief dies in crash
January 2nd, 2009 Author: Marsha Mundy Filed Under: News
Residents in the Village of Owensville are dealing with the loss of their police chief of 17 years. Chief Paul Sturgill, 55, was killed Tuesday, Dec. 23, as a result of a crash at the interchange of I-75 and I-64 in Lexington, Ky.
Sturgill was returning home from Tennessee where he had picked up his mother, Alma Sturgill, to spend the holidays with his family.
"Most of the people in the village are in a state of shock over the chief's death," said Sgt. D. Bay. "It is a normal reaction any time there is a tragedy like this. It's hard to believe it happened."
Sturgill was transported to University of Kentucky hospital where he died as a result of his injuries. His mother was also transported to the hospital to check for injuries. According to authorities, she was released from the hospital later that day with only minor injuries. Fitchelman was also injured in the crash.
Freezing rain and sleet iced over the roadways across Kentucky and Ohio on Tuesday, Dec. 23 resulting in four deaths in Kentucky and snarling holiday traffic.
No charges have been filed in the crash and it remains under investigation.
Sturgill was not only the police chief in Owensville, but also served as a part time officer with the Williamsburg Police Department.
A funeral procession which included law enforcement and fire officials from around the county left E.C. Nurre Funeral Home in Amelia and proceeded down state route 32 to St. Louis Church, in Owensville Tuesday, Dec. 30.
After a private service for family members, the doors to the church were opened and a large number of residents of the community paid their last respects to the chief and his family.
Father Gerard Hiland was the celebrant for the memorial service and shared his experiences with Chief Sturgill not only as a resident of the village, but also as his pastor and friend. Several family, friends and co-workers of Chief Sturgill shared their memories of him.
An honor guard made up of officers with the Union Township Police Department conducted a flag folding ceremony and the flag was presented to his wife, Renalda Sturgill.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Chief Sturgill was honored with a last call on his police radio signaling the end of his watch over the Village of Owensville. The honor guard accompanied Sgt. Bay as he carried Chief Sturgill's ashes from the church and Amazing Grace was played on the bagpipes to end the service.
Chief Sturgill is survived by his wife, Renelda Sturgill; one daughter, Paula Valente, three grandchildren, Kyle, Kirstie and Raven; his mother, Alma Sturgill and two brothers, Melvin and Perry Sturgill.

Size of a lemur, heart of a LION!!
By TomaCzar on
Vehicle1996 Nissan 200SX SE-R 2dr Coupe
ReviewThis vehicle has spoiled me. I'm afraid
to get another car because I love this
one so much. If I weren't 6'6" I'd keep
this car forever.
If you get one, check and make sure the
recall on the winshield wipers was done.
If not just take it to a dealership and
voila!! No hassles.
I life in Upstate NY and the vehicle is
GREAT in the snow. Tires make a big
difference but I get lazy and don't like
to plow, Snowcat (my name for her) plows
right through for me.
I have bottomed out a few times, LOTS of
potholes where I'm from. I don't see
that as a fault of the vehicle, just
something to keep in mind.
Best FeaturesGet up and go (this car likes to move) Fog Lights (why not) Standard (nothing but)
Worst FeaturesKumho ECSTA Supra 712 tires from tirerack(dot)com. I can't recommend those tires or that site enough. As long as you are NOT DRIVING IN SNOW those tires are amazing. Had to get different ones when I moved to NY though.

The National Park Service says most of the monuments and memorials on the National Mall have reopened after being closed following the East Coast earthquake.
That excludes the Washington Monument that will be closed indefinitely after engineers found cracks near the top.
The park service says all monuments and memorials were initially evacuated and closed, including the new Martin Luther King Jr. memorial.
But the King memorial and several others that don't include large buildings were reopened within an hour of the 5.8-magnitude earthquake, which struck at 1:51 p.m. Visitors continued streaming through the King memorial Tuesday afternoon.
The Lincoln and Jefferson memorials were closed for several hours but reopened Tuesday evening. The Old Post Office tower will reopen Wednesday morning.

|Comforting the Afflicted,
Afflicting the Comfortable
Dan Forst finds latest challenge at the Village Voice
It was a warm, pleasant summer, and Don Forst 54 was taking it easy, catching up on his reading, puttering around his weekend place in Hudson, N.Y. It was 1996, and he had just left the New York Daily News after a brief, rocky stint as metropolitan editor. The Daily News job had come along after a successful, high-profile decade editing the New York edition of Newsday during which the paper won two Pulitzer Prizes before it was shut down in 1995 for financial reasons. It was also a period during which Forst developed something of a bad-boy reputation in New York newspaper circles; as devoted as he was to serious, hard-hitting stories on crime, corruption and disasters, he also reveled in the lighter, gossipy side of the business, splashing cheesecake photos of Marla Maples, erstwhile girlfriend of developer Donald Trump, across the papers front page.
With the Daily News experience behind him, Forst regrouped and looked around, sort of, for his next challenge. He was sixty-four. Hed been a newspaperman for forty years. Hed edited a half-dozen big dailies in New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. Hed gone toe-to-toe with politicians, labor leaders, cops, tycoons, and activists of all stripes. He once suspended popular New York Newsday columnist Jimmy Breslin for ethnic slurs made about a Korean-American colleague. Wasnt it time to hang up his typewriter, scrub the newsprint off his knuckles, and spend more time listening to Mozart, one of his enduring cultural loves?
Toward the end of the summer his phone rang. It was a headhunter with a proposition. The editor of the alternative weekly Village Voice had recently resigned. Was Forst interested in the job?
I did a lot of hemming and hawing, Forst recalls, in his office overlooking Cooper Square, in the East Village section of Manhattan. He is dressed in a green shirt, purple suspenders and dark gray wool pants. He wears his sandy-gray hair in bangs, which further soften his startlingly youthful looks. The walls of his office are ringed with framed covers of the Voice. I hadnt read the Voice in years. I wasnt really part of the papers demographic.
At the time, the once-venerable Voice, which had defined alternative, anti-corporate journalism in the 1950s and 1960s, was embroiled in a divisive internal conflict. Earlier in the year, partly as a response to the growing number of online publications, then-owner Leonard Stern had eliminated the Voices $1.25 cover charge in favor of free bulk-drop distribution, a move many staffers felt diminished the papers journalistic cachet and rendered it nothing more than another free throwaway. A succession of top staffers, including editor Karen Durbin, quit. Those who remained grew increasingly polarized and contentious in a newsroom already infamous for its contentiousness. New York media pundits who had long enjoyed lobbing criticism at the Voice pronounced the paper in an irreversible decline.
Still, Forst was intrigued. Back home in his TriBeCa loft, he called the papers publisher, David Schneiderman, who pled his case that Forst and the Voice were a great combination: a career hard-news guy at the helm of a left-wing alt-weekly that championed Third World issues, sexual politics, and up-and-coming rock bands that no one outside of Lower Manhattan had ever heard of. Forst looked at the Voice some more. He talked to his wife of fifteen years, the writer and photographer Starr Ockenga, about the paper. He stewed on it, then made up his mind. At an age when many of his contemporaries were preparing to retreat upstate to write their memoirs, Forst was about to take on one of the most challenging assignments of his long career.
Id heard the [Voice newsroom] was a tough room to manage, he says. To me, thats not necessarily a bad thing, if people are passionate about what they do. But some of the writers were living too much in the past, with stories that were self-indulgent and too long. Im not interested in writers psyches and problems. I came in looking for shorter, more timely stories that have some kind of news peg. For the most part, writers have bought in to what I suggested.
Forsts ideas for retooling the woolly old Voice made him a few enemies, but they mostly made sense to a staff that secretly suspected the paper was becoming irrelevant. This is a great hire, said Wayne Barrett, a Voice senior editor, when Forsts appointment was announced. If were going to be a great paper again, he has the kind of credentials and solid news judgment to do that.
Schneiderman, a former Voice editor, loved the idea that Forst would bring his vast knowledge of New York to the paper, which would help him command respect both inside and outside the newspaper. He puts us right back into the big leagues with the dailies in this town, he said when Forst accepted the offer.
Were still partial to the left, and thats fine, says Forst. Now, though, were aggressive, timely and committed to a wider array of issues. Id like to think the Voice does what Joseph Pulitzer said all newspapers should do: comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.
Close to fifty years ago, Forst had a very good reason for becoming interested in journalism, even if it had nothing to do with affliction. It was orientation at UVM, and there was a very pretty girl sitting behind the Cynic table, he recalls with a grin. Thats how I got involved with journalism, doing general assignment stories for the Cynic. Whatever that girl told me to do, I did it.
Forst had grown up in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. His sister ventured north for college at Middlebury, and he liked the idea of going to school in Vermont as well but not in his sisters shadow. She was very smart, Forst says. I didnt want to end up in her footsteps.
Forsts UVM experience combined the classroom courses in political science, English, and philosophy with experience writing news for the Cynic and sports for the Burlington Free Press. He tells a story of cutting his final in Logic to hitch-hike to Boston to hear Adlai Stevenson lecture at Harvard. The professor, Louis Feuer, gave me a 100 anyway, Forst says. He thought going down to hear the lecture was a terribly logical thing to do.
Forst eventually edited the Cynic, and drew flak from students when he advocated the end of blackface events at Kakewalk during UVMs Winter Carnival. I thought it presented a demeaning image of blacks, and that it should go, he says. We got a lot of nasty letters, many of them anti-semitic that attacked me personally. Forst was well ahead of his time in calling to end Kakewalk; the event would continue at UVM until 1969.
If anything, the Kakewalk flap helped crystallize Forsts professional aspirations, and after graduating from UVM in 1954 he enrolled in the journalism school at Columbia University. His first job out was as a general assignment reporter in Houston, and not long after he landed his first editing job, at the New York Post. Forst worked his way to the top of the editorial ranks at dailies in New York, Los Angeles, and Boston before taking a job editing Boston Magazine, which he did from 1983-85, until he was tapped for the top spot at the New York edition of the Long Island-based Newsday.
One of the Pulitzers won by the paper under Forsts watch was for its coverage of a major subway train crash in August 1991. There were injuries, mayhem, accusations. We swarmed it, Forst recalls. I organized the coverage, got the team together, and put together a package, something like fifteen stories, that ran the next day. Covering an event like that is a rush, its exciting. I still feel it with a weekly when were bringing things in on deadline.
Don was very good at mobilizing the troops, says Tony Marro 65, who worked under Forst as a Newsday reporter and later edited the paper, a job he still holds. He has a lot of drive, imagination and energy, and he loves taking a small group of people who have allegiance to him and sending them out to chase down the best stories. Hes the kind of editor who wakes up in the morning and thinks, Whats the front page going to be?
No wonder some of his old daily colleagues doubtless raised their eyebrows when word got around that he was taking the top spot at the Voice. Alternative weeklies are very different animals from mainstream dailies, often foregoing breaking news for highly personal, idiosyncratic writing with a decidedly left-of-center political point-of-view. But the appeal of the alt weeklies isnt limited to spicy sex columns and monstrously informed coverage of pop music; the best of the breed routinely beat the dailies on hard news stories while sustaining a sassy, irreverent editorial voice the best of both worlds.
It was this kind of paper that Forst envisioned when he walked into his new office at the Voice in October 1996. Shortly after arriving, he assembled the writers to share with them his vision for the paper, quoting advice hed received decades ago from a crusty, long-gone New York Post editor. He once told me, Lemme tell you something, kid, Forst began. You gotta grab the reader by the throat. Hes on the train. Its hot. Hes trying to hit on his secretary; shes not giving him the time of day. His wife is mad at him. His kid needs braces; he doesnt have the money. The guy next to him stinks. Its crowded. You want him to read your story? You better make it interesting. Now it was the writers turn to raise their eyebrows: What was the deal with this guy and his pep talk that sounded like it was lifted from a bad 1940s Hollywood newspaper movie? What could he possibly bring to the urbanely jaded Voice newsroom?
Plenty, it turns out. He brought a strong emphasis on news, as well as a certain amount of efficiency that didnt exist before, says Jennifer Gonnerman, a Voice staff writer who covers criminal justice issues. Hes also willing to take risks on younger writers like me and let them do bigger, more complex stories. In 1998, Gonnerman told Forst she thought the violent fringe of the anti-abortion movement was under-covered, and that it merited investigation. Forst allowed her two months to report the story, including a trip to Birmingham, Ala., site of a recent deadly bombing at a womens health clinic. Just as the story was about to run, a physician in Buffalo, N.Y. was assassinated in his home ostensibly because he performed abortions. It ended up being a six-thousand-word, eight-page feature, Gonnerman says. We were on top of and ahead of the news, because Don was willing to allocate the time and money to do the story.
But Forst hasnt lost his taste for frothier subjects, either. He once asked Elizabeth Zimmer, the Voices fifty-something dance critic, to write a story on the ten best backsides in the National Basketball Association. Zimmer, more than a little surprised, declined, but later said publicly that she was having more fun in my own quiet way since Forsts arrival.
Hard news or punchy fluff, it doesnt matter: Forst seems to have a showmans knack for creating entertainment with whatever tools he has at his disposal. I let myself be guided by my editors the cover gets the best story, which is not necessarily the newsiest story, he maintains, a thought that wouldve been anathema at most of the metro dailies hed worked for previously. While I was in New York to interview Forst, the Voice issues on the street seemed to support his claim: one cover story featured a withering deconstruction of the World Trade Organization a story that took on prophetic overtones in light of the chaos that was about to ensue at the organizations meeting in Seattle while the next weeks cover profiled New York musician Stephin Merritt and his band The Magnetic Fields, whose album, 69 Love Songs, was about to make the year-end top ten lists of critics from coast to coast.
Forst seems to speak from a position of strength these days. Since going free, the Voice has upped its circulation from 117,000 to 250,000, and has its sights set on 300,000. The paper is doing stories of national significance. Its pre-Christmas issues were two-hundred pages thick and packed with ads. The only thing that could go wrong is if the paper experienced some kind of potentially cataclysmic event, like a sale.
Which, in fact, happened. On January 5, the New York Times reported the sale of the Voice and six other papers, all owned by Leonard Stern, to a group of investors for somewhere around $150 million. Voice publisher David Schneiderman was installed as CEO of the new company, which would be known as Village Voice Media. Forst had acknowledged that the paper was for sale when I spoke with him in New York, but added that there was no fear and loathing at this point in the Voice newsroom over the impending sale. Such transactions can signal mass firings of top managers and editors, but Schneiderman was quoted in the Times as saying that Forst would remain in the editors position as long as he wants to. As newspaper sales go, the Voice deal seemed determinedly uncataclysmic.
When I call him shortly after the sale is finalized, Forst continues to sound unconcerned with the new order. Thereve been no real changes with the new ownership, he says. David Schneiderman keeps telling me, Keep putting out the paper youve been putting out, so thats what were doing.
The paper hes been putting out allows Forst the opportunity to be both dumb and smart, he says, with stories ranging from artists hes never heard of to issues hes covered in one form or another for thirty years, all with that trademark left-leaning Voice stamp of approval. Or at least, almost all. People expected us to be automatically pro-Hillary, just because shes a Democrat, he says. But we smacked the hell out of her, as well as Bill. We smacked the hell out of Rudy, too. To us, all of those people are targets of opportunity.
And what of his own politics? Forst folds his hands in front of him and grins. On some issues Im to the right of Genghis Khan, he says. But, yeah, Im a liberal except when it comes to music. That stops at Mozart, as far as Im concerned.VQ

On Thursday morning, to the apparent surprise of some observers, I argued on this blog that Canadians needed a public inquiry to get to the bottom of the allegations of torture and cover-up that Richard Colvin had made the day before in front of a parliamentary committee. After watching the Conservatives' performance for the past two days, I'd say that Prime Minister Stephen Harper also needs a public inquiry--only more so.
Legitimate questions can be asked as to why Mr. Colvin did not blow the whistle earlier, which would have saved anywhere from 220 to 600 Afghans from allegedly being tortured. However, to attack his credibility, as Conservative ministers have been doing, is both pathetic and reprehensible. And to demand first-hand evidence, as they've also been doing, is precisely the same dodge that bureaucrats used to cover their asses in the Maher Arar affair.
Let's face it: Even the government recognizes that its defense is in tatters and that it is looking mean to boot, which may explain why it is re-calibrating its strategy. However, to parade senior officials before a parliamentary committee, as a report in today's Globe suggests is what we're about to see, is unlikely to work very well either, based on my experience in similar situations.
Mr. Harper has been out of the country while all this has been going on. He will have an opportunity, but only one, to wipe the slate clean on this first day back in the House of Commons. He'd be wise to punt the issue to a judicial inquiry, a forum that is more likely to give ministers and officials a fair hearing. Unless, that is, his government truly has something to hide, and figures that having Conservative MPs stonewall, obstruct and obfuscate is the only way to try to save his skin.

Swap SpreadsDecember 15th, 2016 8:53 pm | by John Jansen |
This is an interesting piece on 30 year swap spreads by my friend and former colleague Steve Liddy. I am reproducing the graphs which he includes but they do not translate well to my low rent retired guy hobby blog. That is entirely my fault and not his.
Via Steve Liddy:
When Lehman Brothers collapsed, in 2008, and the rate markets plunged long end swap spreads collapsed with them. Previously swapped hedges, with a then bankrupt entity had to be reset, in a market where risk tolerance and balance sheet usage were being taken away, then by the banks themselves. Add to that the increased long end UST issuance needed to fund the various government bailout programs and you had yourself all time low 30y swap spreads. In the process of this wave of receiving, the friendly neighborhood RV hedge fund got stopped out on all the 'cheap balance sheet' trades that had consistently paid out a nice annuity. And, well the mortgage player…we all know…so no natural long end payor.
Twice since there have been periods where long end spreads rallied sharply:
-In '09 with the announcement of QE1, that was short lived as 'traders' all believed all that liquidity would cause an inflationary nightmare, and were taken to task once the extreme FED actions did not lead the economy back..oh yeah, that euro crisis
-So, for 2yrs, roughly between 2/2010 and 2/2012 Bond spreads bounced around between -20 and flat
-Then in early 2012 the Op Twist talk began, officially becoming policy in 9/2012 and the heavy long end buying continued with QE3, until finally ending in 10/2014
-Since then swapped corporate issuance, Asset-Liability receiving needs and nobody to take the other side drove swap spreads to the recent all-time lows
-Along the way, RV funds did dip toes in the water attempting to buy Strips and Long End paper on asset swap, but they were simply not ever really able to force a true move wider
Well, now with elections results making the idea of a more aggressive FED, and possible inflationary pressures (forgive me while I laugh..inflation..so funny-unless you're sending a kid to college) rates are backing up…at a time when the world is long a ton of fixed income, especially long end IG. Well here's the problem, now regulatory issues prevent The Street from warehousing any large inventories, so how is a poor asset manager going to shed their duration? Could there be a new natural payor here? Watching the ultra-bond contract get pummeled has left the low coupon 2045/46 sector in tough spot. Liquidity is poor, DV01s are big and screen bids seem to be good for 5. Oh yeah..its year end, so that should toss a little gas on this fire.
If I were seeing selling, I'd be paying in swaps, even here at the recent 'wides'. Every duration survey known to man has accounts long their IG bogey, and that has spilled over into duration. They can't sell bonds..at least not that many bonds until 'The Donald' and his people come in and change the rules.
30y swap spreads
3.00% 11/45 vs spot 30y swaps…I still think this will be the out…maybe Mr RV comes back?
Good luck and enjoy the evening…Steve

How to get people and technology to work together.

<it>English mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead once said, "The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order." Although he wasn't talking about software development, I think his comment is apropos. The highly competitive software marketplace demands rapid response, yet we must preserve order so that change leads to desirable progress. But if our software process is too bureaucratic or stodgy, we can only maintain order by sacrificing our ability to change and compete. In this issue, Gene Forte offers a blueprint for managing change that balances these concerns.</it>

She knows who she is because I believe in some mysterious light she is watching. She watched us that day and she will always continue to have weight in this life. I promise you that I will never stop being your voice here on earth. I will tell everyone about the talented medicene fanatic you were who tackled a cruel disease to change hearts. I will always miss you. There will never be a day where you are not a part of us.
In some ways I thank you spesh! You taught me not to moan about how little summer I had but to enjoy every part of it I was given. I made the most of it believe me :)
1) Menorca - sunshine, Oli, Jim's, Dancing and Archers & Lemonade.
2) Reading Festival - live music, camp fires, snuggles with Brad & tequila.
3) Friends - I don't think I will begin to start how amazing you all are because I don't think I will end up finishing. Thank you.
Summer 2008 gave me that. Three fantastic lucky charms fitted into 6 fantastic weeks.
Im rested now...bring on year 2.

My grandma has it body pain ever time what should I do she takes so many medicine but not working what should I do for it?
Anyone can get shoulder pain, and the cause might be simple to serious. You may get shoulder pain because of minor injury, carrying too much weight on the shoulders, poor posture, and any underlying health condition. Sometimes the pain comes and goes on its own without any need of taking medicines, but at times, it becomes difficult to treat them.
Conditions which may lead to shoulder pain may include rotator cuff disorders, instability of shoulders, frozen shoulder, broken arm, broken collarbone, and acromioclavicular joint problems.
The following are a few common causes-
1. Rotator cuff disorder:
A rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles which surround the shoulder joint. Tendons are hard and rubbery cords that link muscles to bones. The rotator cuff holds the joint in the right position so that it can move in a desired and controlled way. There are different types of rotator cuff disorder, and each of them leads to various symptoms. But common aspects of the problem include:
- Pain which starts worsening during activities involving the arm above shoulder level. This may include brushing the hair.
- Pain occurring on the front side of the shoulder which tends to worsen during the night
- Ache that occurs on the front and side of the shoulder
Different types of rotator cuff disorders and their characteristics are as follows:
- Tendonitis and bursitis- Tendonitis refers to the swelling of tendon while bursitis is inflammation of the bursa. Bursa is the fluid-filled sacs that are typically placed on the joints and in between bones and tendons.
- Tears- A torn tendon or muscle cause possible weakness and severe pain in the arm and shoulder. Some people also feel a popping sensation when they move the shoulder.
2. Shoulder instability
The shoulder is a type of ball and socket joint and shoulder instability takes place when the ball part of the shoulder fails to fit in correctly in the socket. It can range from catching or slipping feeling to total shoulder dislocation where the ball entirely comes out of the socket.
3. Frozen shoulder
Also referred to as adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder is a painful and persistent stiffness present in the shoulder joint. This makes it very difficult for carrying out the full range of normal shoulder movements. Frozen shoulder takes place when there is swallowing, thickening, and tightening of the flexible tissue which surrounds the shoulder joint. This doesn't allow enough space for the upper arm bone or humerus in the shoulder joint and makes shoulder movement painful and stiff. A person affected with frozen shoulder may find it difficult to carry out the daily chores such as driving, exercising, and sleeping in a comfortable position. Some people may find it absolutely impossible to move their shoulders at all. The symptoms of frozen shoulder can vary to a great extent, but it starts advancing at a gradual pace.
When left untreated, shoulder pain may or may not worsen. When it does worsen it is important to see your doctor.

- Plantar Fasciitis is a disorder that results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot. The pain is usually most severe with the first steps of the day or following a period of rest. The condition typically comes on slowly. In about a third of people both legs are affected.
- Risk factors for plantar fasciitis include overuse such as from long periods of standing, an increase in exercise, and obesity. It is also associated with inward rolling of the foot and a lifestyle that involves little exercise. While heel spurs are frequently found it is unclear if they have a role in causing the condition. Plantar fasciitis is a disorder of the insertion site of the ligament on the bone characterized by micro tears, breakdown of collagen, and scarring. The diagnosis is typically based on signs and symptoms with ultrasound sometimes used to help. Other conditions with similar symptoms include osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, heel pad syndrome, and reactive arthritis.
It's not just painful but also very irritating to have that odd neck, back, knee or any other muscular pain. Just sitting and waiting for the pain to go is something that we just cannot do. We want instant relief! Some of us wonder how we even got this pain. Asking around we find answers such as an incorrect posture of the body, too much of physical stress on a particular muscle or staying still in one position for a long time. Right, long working hours sitting in front of a computer.
- Ayurveda dives a bit deeper to find out the cause of muscular pain. According to Ayurveda, the muscle pain is caused by collection of harmful toxins in a particular area of the body which blocks the smooth transportation of essential nutrients, which leads to the aggravation of the "Vata" element in the body and causing muscular pain. There is no exception to any age group from this pain.
- Once again, body, diet and health, are all inter- linked. Ayurveda says a prominent way to avoid muscular pain is our diet. Cheese, cakes, meat, processed food, caffeine are strictly to be avoided by Ayurveda. This is because these kinds of foods dry up the muscles making them stiff and causing pain.
- If a person experiences muscular pain, Ayurveda has natural and chemical free methods to manage the pain. The main method is the practice of Abhyanga. It includes the application of oil all over the body, and massaging the areas where pain is experienced gently. This improves blood circulation with the nutrients needed all over the body. The heating properties of the oil stimulate the same.
- At Dr. Vaidya's, we have innovative products which help in prevention and management of muscular pain. One of them is the evergreen super popular, Rumox Balm. Rumox balm is a special Ayurvedic formulation that has an anti-inflammatory properties and an analgesic effect. Apart from treating swelling and muscular pain, it also provides relief from all types of arthritic pain.

Hi, Now a days my whole body is paining from head to foot I want proper treatment what I have to do?
Pain is one of the most common reasons for patients to seek medical attention and one of the most prevalent medical complaints in today's world. Chronic pain has many causes and can affect any part of the body. Conditions most associated with pain include arthritis, headache, neck and back problems, cancer, neuropathies eg. Diabetic, chronic regional pain syndromes (CRPS), pelvic pain disorders, fibromyalgia, myofacial pains, herpes and trigeminal neuralgias.
Chronic pain can lead to depression, anxiety, marital & interpersonal problems, decreased productivity, unemployment, compromised social roles, isolation, financial burden, dependence, prolonged analgesics usage, decreased self-esteem with behavioral changes adversely affecting mental and physical abilities, activities of daily living & ruining quality of life.
Pain still remains inappropriate & inadequately treated. Although tremendous scientific & technological advances have been made, the knowledge & techniques are highly underutilized. Untreated pain destroys people's lives. I have had patients come in who couldn't work or sleep or play with their children. Good pain management gave them their lives back. It is cruel to deny people in pain access to effective pain treatment. People should not be suffering needlessly.
Thus, pain clinics are specialized areas that are now assuming the role of an essential service as they meet a need unmet by any previously existing medical facility. They help by simultaneously treating the physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, vocational and social aspects of chronic pain cost-effectively.
Our ultimate goal is to cure & care people suffering from pain, make them productive human beings for the society and increase their self-esteem so that they can live life as normal individuals.
Interventional pain procedures scores over both medicine and surgery, as they do not have side effects like medicines. Surgeries for pain, have now limited indications, usually as a last resort.
The interventional pain procedures produce immediate pain relief, can be performed with ease by pain physicians without anesthesia as outpatient or daycare and adequate duration of pain relief obtained and suitable for surgically unfit & debilitated patients, procedure can be repeated safely if required.
In the absence of proper education among health care professionals and lack of awareness in the public mind in India, there is misuse of painkillers resulting in high incidence of complications like gastritis, kidney failure, bone marrow depression and bleeding from gut which can be catastrophic.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrom : It is neuralgic / tingling pain in hand & forearm caused by the pressure on supplying Median Nerve in carpal tunnel, aggravated during sleep or heavy exertion. It can be treated effectively with medicines. Non responders can go for simple injection treatment with dramatic results. Surgery remains the last choice only.
Fibromyalgia and Myo-fascial pain syndrome: These are conditions characterized by pain in the muscles following severe spasm associated with morning stiffness, disturbed sleep, a feeling of swelling and have clear trigger points. These points are tender and when palpated produce the typical pain.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
CRPS is a chronic progressive disease characterized by severe pain, swelling and changes in the skin. Though treatment is often unsatisfactory, early multimodal therapy can cause dramatic improvement or remission of the syndrome in some patients. The International has divided CRPS into two types based on the presence of nerve lesion following the injury.
- Type I, formerly known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), Sudeck's atrophy, reflex neurovascular dystrophy (RND) or algoneurodystrophy, does not have demonstrable nerve lesions.
- Type II, formerly known as causalgia, has evidence of obvious nerve damage.
The cause of this syndrome is currently unknown. Precipitating factors include injury and surgery, although there are documented cases that have no demonstrable injury to the original site. The symptoms of CRPS usually manifest near the site of an injury, either major or minor. The most common symptoms overall are burning and electrical sensations, described to be like "shooting pain." The patient may also experience muscle spasms, local swelling, abnormally increased sweating, changes in skin temperature and color, softening and thinning of bones, joint tenderness or stiffness, restricted or painful movement.

Pain can be a debilitating condition if it is not managed in a timely manner and on a constant basis. One can experience pain in various parts of the body due to a variety of reasons. While the main reason includes conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis and another nerve, joint or muscle problems, there are many other kinds of pain that may occur due to accidents and sports injuries. Disc herniation and conditions like diabetes may also give rise to pinched nerves which can cause pain.
It is not possible to constantly pop pills and get injections for the pain that lasts for a prolonged time. Yet, this does not necessarily mean that you will have to live with the pain. There are a number of ways in which you can manage pain without having to take medicines at the drop of a hat. Here are a few measures that you can take in order to treat pain.
- Weight Loss: In case you are on the overweight side, it would be a good idea to lose those extra pounds and kilos. Excess weight usually puts pressure on the affected area and creates even more pain. Therefore, if you are more fit, there is less chance of suffering from extreme pain.
- Exercise: While rest is a good thing, being on your feet and moving at regular intervals is also required in order to deal with the pain. If you are constantly lying in bed in one position, then there will be pressure on the joints and the nerves, which can create even more pain. Therefore, you should keep changing your positions and take mild to moderate exercises like walking and swimming, in keeping with approval and recommendation from the doctor.
- Rest: Taking rest is just as important as exercise. When you are going through pain, it would be a good idea to give rest to the affected area so that there is less pressure on the same. You should rest in the proper position so that one does not twist or elevate the area in a wrong way.
- Physiotherapy: This is another method that most doctors recommend. Getting the right kind of physiotherapy is important as it can help in creating core strength for the surrounding muscles and joints of the affected area. This will keep the pain, inflammation and stiffness away.
- Hot and Cold Remedies: Heat therapy and ice therapy are two recommended ways of treating pain. If the injury is new and the pain acute, then one may resort to the use of ice packs to gently bring down the inflammation. Hot showers and heat packs can also bring relief to the area so that the pain is soothed away. One should be careful while using either method so that the temperature does not cause burns and rashes.
- Maintain Good Posture: Most people have poor posture when going about their daily activities, putting unnecessary strain on their backs. Little things add up. Keeping the right amount of curvature takes pressure off the nerves and will reduce pain. Get into the habit of sitting correctly. It may not feel comfortable initially because your muscles have not been conditioned to support you in the correct position.
In case you have a concern or query you can always consult an expert & get answers to your questions!

Networking with the stars
At the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, one part of the agenda for the journalists, politicians, elected officials and other Washington types who show up is pretty clear: to bask in the reflected glow of Hollywood glamour, if only for a night, to rub elbows with the more attractive of our species.
But what exactly is in it for the celebrities? A chance to talk politics with actual politicians? An opportunity to advocate for a cause? A moment to show their smarts? An occasion to be more fashionable than the fashion-challenged residents of the nation's capital?
Story Continued Below
Or is it simply an occasion to feel even more famous? No matter our friendly or professional intentions, we can't hide our adolescent enthusiasm for a little glitz and glamour.
"To be honest with you, you come across as a bunch of starfu—ers," said actor and Creative Coalition co-president Tim Daly, who has attended the dinner four times. "It's kind of like being an albino panda bear. The way people look at you and the way you look at them — it's like being the special exhibit at the zoo."
For celebrities, though, politicians are their own class of exotic, powerful creatures, and for those from the West Coast, a chance to chat up lawmakers may be the reason behind the allure of the dinner. The weekend provides a very real opportunity for actors, actresses and other folks in the moviemaking business — all of whom seem to have a pet issue these days — to ask for support and promote their causes in an atmosphere less formal than a visit to the Hill.
Put it this way: The correspondents' weekend is one big networking opportunity.
"If you're interested in D.C., and interested in policy and policymakers, and you like to get to know them, being at events and informal gatherings like this is a great opportunity to meet people," said Shawn Sachs, whose firm, Sunshine, Sachs & Associates, represents such notables as Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck and Tyler Perry. "Look, it's how business gets done; everybody knows that."
Still, according to Huffington Post founder and West Coaster Arianna Huffington, the varied cast of partygoers allows not just for connections to be made but also for genuine good conversation. Deals may be done, but the exotic matchups of chat partners set the parties apart from Tinseltown affairs.
"It has the essential ingredient of any great party: an unexpected mix of people," Huffington said of the weekend. "There are always a number of double-take moments, when you find yourself asking, 'Is that Demi Moore talking to Janet Napolitano?' or 'Did Justice [Antonin] Scalia just eat something off Jon Bon Jovi's plate?' Or 'I wonder what Peter Orszag and Todd Palin are giggling about.'"
Funny or Die's Mike Farah wasn't invited to last year's dinner, but he did manage to hit up the party circuit, where he had a bizarre encounter of his own.
"It was like a lot of Hollywood parties, where everyone sort of knows each other, but not really well, so you just find yourself in these random conversations, looking around at all the different people assembled," said Farah. "We spent a memorable two minutes with George Lucas telling him about Funny or Die, though I'm quite certain George didn't find it as memorable as we did."
