Just a few weeks ago, a Purple Heart was found on the side of the road in Bakersfield. No one knows for sure how it got there, but thanks to research by some Bakersfield High School students and their teacher, they now know the recipient.
"Right there in the middle of the road, right in that lane," said Bobby Hanks, Commander for the VFW Post 97.
In a place you'd only expect to find trash, a trucker passing through found a Purple Heart on South Union Avenue right in front of VFW Post 97.
"It was on the edge of the street, right on the highway," said Hanks.
The trucker turned the medal over to the veterans and the vets knew they had to find its rightful owner.
"That medal doesn't belong to anyone but his family," said Hanks.
The veterans decided to turn the Purple Heart over to BHS teacher Ken Hooper and his archiving class.
"It kind of caught my eye because I had never seen one before," said Megan Stapp, a BHS archiving student.
The only clues the students had were engraved on the back of the medal, showing the recipient's name, his rank and the day he died.
"That was it, and then it turned into this cross country adventure," said Hooper.
"We spent about three weeks looking for this one person," said Stapp.
They contacted historians, genealogists and newspapers to finally identify the man this medal belonged to. Robert A. Bates was a Navy Corpsman who enlisted in 1940 and was first stationed in San Diego. Then on December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and Bates was killed on the U.S.S. Arizona.
"His body is still entombed in the U.S.S Arizona," said Hooper. "There's no body been recovered."
After learning about the man behind the medal, the search began for his closest living relative. The class found Bates' niece, Kris Wilson, in Texas.
"I called her at 7:30 at night on a Saturday and it was a little intense conversation," said Hooper.
"It's amazing that, that is coming back to our family after 70 years," said Wilson. "It's just some amazing work by the people in Bakersfield."
When Wilson receives the medal, she plans to give it to her brother who is a veteran.
"I'm going to make a nice plaque and seal it," said Mark Bates, Bates' nephew.
One question still remains, how did the Purple Heart end up on old 99? Relatives think it was lost there by one of Bates' brothers who lived in Bakersfield.
But, that's only a guess.
"I don't know if we'll ever find out why it was on the side of the road," said Hooper.
In any case, very soon the medal will be back in the Bates family.
"We knew that it was important to get it into someone's hands," said Hooper.
Upon hearing about the medal, Kern County veterans have vowed to deliver it to the family in person.

Hi my name is Neal Anderson. I am a revolutionary hip hop artist from Kalamazoo MI representing Konspiracy Rekords. I have been writing for a little over 8 years but have really been serious for the past 3 1/2. I come with a message of truth, love, unity, (true) freedom, and compassion. I have stayed 100% true to myself since the start and the truth has set me free. My experience with my growth in the music industry has led me to my choice. I could stick with my version of the truth or sell it off to see the real money the 'game' has to offer by polluting the airwaves and selling my soul. The red or the blue pill. It was an easy choice for me. I will continue to spread MY message and deliver my version of the truth to the people that have remained loyal to me on my journey. My integrity is NOT for sale. As many of you know, a truthers path is not an easy one but you are not alone. I have put some links for free album downloads beneath and the links to some of my videos are in my signature. I hope you enjoy the music enough to keep listening, the underground needs YOU. So now it is your choice.. RED or BLUE?
Tech and the rest of the strange music artist have been my favorite for a long time and although I stay true to myself they are a big influence and inspiration to me. So i figured, what better place to share what I've done!
I have 5 finished albums (Write of Passage, 2nd Floor, Synergetic, DETOURmination, and Militant Mindset). I am currently working on the 6th titled 'The Prequel. I only have the online links to the first 4 which i have put below. They are in chronological order because although they each have their own vibe and plot, they tell a story collectively.
The first 3 are links from mediafire.com. I am having issues with the actual links on here showing up but if you go to mediafire.com and add the /?#'sandletters to the url it will bring you to the downloads. Sorry for the inconvenience by the way.

Disclaimer: This is going to be a fairly long post and possibly not for the faint of heart... you've been warned. ;)
Well, I've wanted to make some homemade bread for my principal, secretaries, and custodian and what better time than Thanksgiving, right? It should be easy, shouldn't it? Just whip up some quick bread, wrap it nicely, make it presentable. Easy-peasy.
I mean, after all... if Michelle Wooderson (whom I consider a Domestic Diva!) can do it, then I should have no challenge, right? (Click her name to be WOWed by what that woman does!) So, why can't I be a Domestic Divo (is Divo a word??!)
Quick check to make sure I have all I need:
Comfy slippers? Check. Yes, those are my pajamas... nothing sexier than a guy who bakes in his PJs, right?! ;)
Next up... music. I didn't find any Thanksgiving music (do they even make that?) so I went with the next best thing... some wonderful Celtic Christmas music!
Now onto the "necessary stuff". ;)
Ingredients, supplies... check!
Oven ---- yep. He's ready. I think I may have to use both those bad boys:
And last, but CERTAINLY not least... my incentive!
Would you believe I've never had a Starbucks Frappuccino? I originally purchased a four-pack of these babies so that I could alter the bottles and case for a future Christmas gift. This little dude will be my reward for being a good li'l baker.
And what about the baker? Is he garbed and ready to go? You betcha!
I put on that apron just for you. Appropriate it's black, eh? I figure if these breads don't come out well, there will be a funeral for them. :(
I got some of these pans at the Dollar Tree. They cost about $1.00 each (imagine that!). This way, I can keep them in the pans and give them as part of the gift. :)
Here's a close-up of the Cinnamon Streusel cake mix I purchased at Target (their generic brand is Market Pantry... but don't let that fool you... it's GOOD to the yummieth power!) :)
(Little side note... only until after I created the wrapping, did I realize this is not Apple Cinnamon, but just Cinnamon... that little oopsie will make more sense later in this post!)
Okay... first things first. The recipe called that I create the "streusel" first. No problem. Just add a few tablespoons of melted margarine to the mix with a fork, making sure it's all nice and crumbly.
Then... add a couple of eggs, a cup of water, and the remaining six tablespoons of melted margarine to the main mix and get this concoction.
Notice the knife near the bowl? You may be wondering what is that for? Well, as every good baker knows... it's in case the recipe comes out crappy and he/she must perform the age-old, honorable act of seppuku!
Now, after trying to heft that huge bowl and pour the batter into my pans (already prepared with Pam), I thought, "This is going to get tiring...what would Mish (Michelle Wooderson) do?!" Then I remembered that I had a bowl with handle and spout...
Wow, did that make things SOOO much easier! :)
So, I filled the pan about halfway, added some streussel, filled it a bit more, and added more streussel. Here we are:
Placed them in their warm temporary homes (three on top, three in the bottom oven):
The heat from the oven made me long for my precious Frappuccino waiting for me in the cool fridge. But I resisted!
I put them in for 40 minutes but checked them shortly before the 40 minutes were up and it's a good thing I did. They all were ready at different times and I probably used up a forest of toothpicks making sure they were just right. Here are daddy's little babies... thumb's up!
Now for packaging. I had a rough idea what I wanted to do, but wanted to polish it up a bit...make it more Thanksgiving-y. So, I recalled I had purchased these paper leaf doilies at the Dollar Tree:
And I wanted to add a little somethin-somethin more to these... so I rushed to Michaels where they're having a sale on their cinnamon sticks (regularly $5.00/pkg... on sale for two for $5.00!). I picked up two packages. I stopped by the Dollar Tree and got some pretty nice autumn flower wire bow and then back to Michaels to get some Kraft wrapping paper.
All this time, my lips had not touched the Frappuccino. Just sayin'.
I wanted to spruce up the paper so I broke out my Teacher's Apple stamp set from Papertrey Ink. (Remember me saying I originally thought this was apple-cinnamon bread? Yeah. Duh, Ted.)
By now the loaves were cool and I could wrap them in aluminum foil and then with my custom-made wrapping paper. I used the leaf doilies to wrap up some cinnamon sticks and then attached them with the pretty autumn flower ribbon. I attached a homemade tag (using Everyday Treats by Papertrey Ink) and here's the finished product:
And a close-up of the tag:
Now, I ask you...do you think that Ms. Wooderson could come up with such a presentation?! The answer is a resounding NO! Why not?! Because hers would be OH-SO-MUCH nicer!! But that's okay... I did my best. ;)
Here are all five wrapped up (so you'll have proof that I didn't do just one!)
And to the victor go the spoils!
Those are yummy pumpkin cookies with cheesecake filling.
Did I ever drink the Frappuccino you wonder?
Thanks for looking and/or commenting!
Happily Ever Yours,

To gain from trade, modern economies rely on a stable financial system. In many countries around the world, the benefits of finance are taken for granted. Financial stability comes to the forefront only in times of crisis. The global financial crisis of 2008 and 2009 exposed some of the regulatory and market failures of a more and more globally organized financial system and led to far-reaching discussions about a broad range of academic and policy issues on the regulation of financial services.
Against this background, this edited volume brings outstanding expertise and provides insightful perspectives from nineteen authors with diverse backgrounds, including officials from international organizations, national regulators, and commercial banking, as well as academics in law, economics, political economy, and finance. The authors not only shed light on the causes of the financial turmoil, but also present thoughtful proposals that contribute to the future policy debate, and discuss opportunities that financial services can offer in funding activities which raise standards of living through initiatives in microfinance, renewable energy, and food distribution.
The contributions to this volume tackle several of the thorniest issues of financial regulation in a post-crisis environment, such as:
While the debate about regulatory reform has just begun and will inevitably be characterized by controversies, it will be vital to appreciate the interconnected nature of the financial system. Without effective coordination of regulatory responses to financial crises, tackling the pressing challenge to limit cross-border contagion in times of crisis without jeopardizing the benefits of financial globalization is almost certainly doomed to failure.

The Halfords Volkswagen 'Deep Black' scratch & chip repair kit is compatible to Volkswagen manufacturer's code: LC9X & 2T.
The touch up paint is the ideal way to repair small unsightly scratches and stone chips on your car's bodywork, blending them in with an exact colour match.
Simply use the special glass fibre prep tool to remove any loose/flaking paint and all rust from the chip or scratch. Then apply the high build primer filler using the precision nib applicator or brush into the prepared rust free chips and scratches, building up the thickness in stages (leaving 10-20 minutes between coats) leaving 24 hours to harden.
Lightly rub down using abrasive side of special tool to achieve smooth finish, then apply your colour match using the precision nib applicator or brush to the prepared and primed chips or scratches. Build up the colour in stages by leaving 10-20 minutes between each coat*. Leave the paint for 24 hours to harden then simply buff the surface using fabric side of special tool to blend in the repair.
NB. Always test on an inconspicuous area.
* For metallic or pearlescent finishes allow your colour match paint 24 hours to harden before applying the Clear Protection Lacquer in stages allowing 10 minutes between each coat
To find the manufacturer's colour code, look for the identification plate. In most cases this will be under the bonnet, in the boot or inside the driver's side door frame.

The 123,000 MPH Plasma Engine That Could Finally Take Astronauts To Mars
Veteran astronaut Franklin Chang Diaz has spent four decades developing his rocket fueled by nuclear reactors and liquid hydrogen. Now NASA just might let it fly
You might expect to find our brightest hope for sending astronauts to other planets in Houston, at NASA's Johnson Space Center, inside a high-security multibillion-dollar facility. But it's actually a few miles down the street, in a large warehouse behind a strip mall. This bland and uninviting building is the private aerospace start-up Ad Astra Rocket Company, and inside, founder Franklin Chang Díaz is building a rocket engine that's faster and more powerful than anything NASA has ever flown before. Speed, Chang Díaz believes, is the key to getting to Mars alive. In fact, he tells me as we peer into a three-story test chamber, his engine will one day travel not just to the Red Planet, but to Jupiter and beyond.
I look skeptical, and Chang Díaz smiles politely. He's used to this reaction. He has been developing the concept of a plasma rocket since 1973, when he become a doctoral student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His idea was this: Rocket fuel is a heavy and inefficient propellant. So instead he imagined building a spaceship engine that uses nuclear reactors to heat plasma to two million degrees. Magnetic fields would eject the hot gas out of the back of the engine. His calculations showed that a spaceship using such an engine could reach 123,000 miles per hour—New York to Los Angeles in about a minute.
All astronauts have big dreams, but Franklin Chang Díaz's dreams are huge. As a college student, as a 25-year astronaut and as an entrepreneur, his single animating intention has always been to build—and fly—a rocketship to Mars. "Of course I wanted to be an astronaut, and of course I want to be able to fly in this," he says of his plasma-thrust rocket. "I mean, I just can't imagine not flying in a rocket I would build." And now he's close. In four years Chang Díaz will deploy his technology for the first time in space, when his company, aided by up to $100 million in private funding, plans to test a small rocket on the International Space Station. If this rocket, most commonly known by its loose acronym, Vasimr, for Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket, proves itself worthy, he has an aggressive timetable for constructing increasingly bigger plasma-thrust space vehicles.
Chang Díaz describes his dreams in relatively practical terms. He doesn't intend to go straight to Mars. First he will develop rockets that perform the more quotidian aspects of space maintenance needed by private companies and by the government: fixing, repositioning, or reboosting wayward satellites; clearing out the ever-growing whirl of "space junk" up there; fetching the stuff that can be salvaged. "Absolutely, fine, I'm not too proud to say it. We're basically running a trucking business here," he says. "We'll be sort of a Triple-A tow truck in space. We're happy to be a local garbage collector in space. That's a reliable, sustainable, affordable business, and that's how you grow."
Such a belief may seem overly ambitious, but the goals of aviation have always seemed that way. In October 1903, for instance, astronomer Simon Newcomb, the founding president of the American Astronomical Society, spelled out a series of reasons why the concept of powered flight was dubious. "May not our mechanicians," he asked, "be ultimately forced to admit that aerial flight is one of the great class of problems with which man can never cope, and give up all attempts to grapple with it?" Less than two months later, the Wright brothers flew at Kitty Hawk. And in the 1920s a young man named Frank Whittle was coming up with drawings for a theoretical engine very different from the propeller-driven kind, one that might scoop in air through turbines and fire it through a series of "jet" nozzles. "Very interesting, Whittle, my boy," said one of his professors of aeronautical engineering at the University of Cambridge. "But it will never work."
"NASA set to work on a nuclear reactor for space travel in 2003 but scrapped the project after only two years—the risk of radiation from an explosion or crash was likely too great"
You guessed wrong. Launching nuclear reactors into space presents significant challenges, but they are not insurmountable. For example, Mars Science Laboratory is set to launch next year with 10 pounds of plutonium on board. NASA's work on nuclear propulsion begun in 2003 was scrapped two years later because the money was reallocated to the Constellation program. Many other promising science and technology programs suffered the same fate.
We Gotta keep Strivin' Foward ..Pushin' ahead..Someone has got to Lead The way ...Continue to Keep Pushin Positively Forever Forward into the Future..
The best possible future ..Would be to.. Explore/Inhabit other Worlds/Planets..And Still have a home to come back to for Supper...
Over and Out there from Here ...DEEEEEP SPAAAACE...( Spend half my time there ;))
Such a propulsion system is so vital to our future exploration of space(both robotic and human), I'm surprised it hasn't caused much more of a stir than it has so far. The obvious advantage to the decrease in data recovery wait time is such a strong advocate all by itself, especially for more distant gas giants & dwarf planets. I hope the wait won't be too much longer.
Would a space elevator be a possible solution to the nuclear element? If people are worried about putting something explosive near a nuclear device, why not have the nuclear device assembled, shipped up to space, then attached to the ship after it leaves the atmosphere? This may seem a little sci-fi, but bear with me. Not only would you need less fuel to lift the spacecraft into space, there would be no risk of nuclear explosion in the atmosphere. To me, it seems like a viable option (assuming we ever build a space elevator, that is XD).
I don't get the bit where the article says we don't know "just how the human body might respond to traveling at speeds of up to 34 miles per second."
... um, my understanding of this is that the astronaut won't be able to tell what speed he is going. So I'm guessing the response will be boredom.
Yeah. That was a little weird. It's not like 34mps is a relativistic velocity. Acceleration, though constant, is almost zero. Whats the problem?
Sounds like historic naysayers to space travel, breaking the sound barrier, human flight, running the one minute mile etc.
Do people bother to read articles?
This article doesn't propose anything to do with a space elevator. So why ask?
Nor does the article say anything about how a Mars mission craft would be assembled, in orbit or otherwise. However, common sense does suggest that a Mars mission ship will be a tad large, I'll make a guess and say that it will need to be several hundred tonnes. No rocket exists that could launch this from Earth, and ... um, we don't seem to have a space elevator handy, so maybe, just maybe, they might be considering building it in orbit.
... maybe I should post my reply 38 times, so that the idiots will read it.
This article is worthless. "That's how you grow," this article claims, and that by destroying the government and NASA?
I am just wondering which private corporation was instrumental in sending the first astronauts to outer space and then to the moon in the 1960s. Was it Enron or perhaps Virgin Galactic or SpaceX?
If the morons will think, then of course we need NASA and government funding to get us to mars and then to build these space vehicles and the infrastructure to get there. This will never work and who is so dumb to believe this article that destroying NASA and government is what we need to get to space. As it is already doing it is killing space travel.
The G-force effect on the human body isnt even a factor through 'gradual accelleration'.
As it is, we on earth are already traveling at just over 1000 miles per hour.
When lauched into space at almost 29,000 mph and the G-force, though brutal, is still something we have no problem with.
Like anything in travel...the force on the object (human or craft) is noted in the cause of the friction and the friction itself.
One of the main causes of friction or negative force is gravity and atmosphere...
In space there is no such atmosphere and gravitational pull is at a pretty large minimum unless you aproach another object of substantial mass.
Thus, at a gradual increase in speed, much like one does with an accellerator in a car a body would eventually reach a level of comfort at speeds at 173,000 mph in an environment that has little or no resistance to the human body itself.
The world may be passing by at extremely accellerated speeds, but in our 'lil' world, everything is seems normal.
The only thing I have a problem with is how this guy plans on making a reactive plasma engine that can sustain temperatures of 2 million degrees for long periods of time without melting the engine itself.
The highest melting point of any element or carbon alloy, doesnt even come close to sustaining these temperatures.
Currently the record-holder is tantalum hafnium carbide (Ta4HfC5), a refractory compound with a melting point of 4488 K (4215 °C, 7619 °F).
Rocket boosters only reach a maximum temperature of 6000 degrees F.
So I would say hes got a long way to go, just to build an apparatus that can hold his Idea.
You think space travel is dangerous and tedious now? Try sending something that needs to heat up to 2,000,000 degrees F out of our atmosphere. It would just melt or probably go 'poof!' in about two seconds.
Great Idea...but unless this guy has God himself holding the reactor...its not going to happen.
Check what I found on Ad Astra's website!
Look at the fifth picture with the caption "A photograph of Ad Astra scientists using a laser alignment rig with the VX-200. Credit: Ad Astra Rocket Company"
Is that a NORTH KOREAN flag on the laser alignment rig?
With gradual accelleration, the speed is not an issue. What IS an issue is going to be micro-meteorites or other floating spatial material that will strike the surface of the spacecraft moving that fast, and will more than likely penetrate the ships' outer hull. The second big concern will be how effectively the craft can rotate so as to not have its sides exposed to cosmic radiation for any given length of time as it will eventually be a health concern of radiation exposure. Now, given the velocity they are trying to achieve, I would think the stress caused in trying to moderately turn a craft on an axis would be quite significant.
I still think the most viable solution to Mars in 39... Is to use a nonconventional nuclear reactor... A liquid thorium.... Much safer, much lighter, well within today's technology ... To power this plasma drive our friend above is taking about. And thorium is both plentiful and makes a good solar radiation shield.
best way of getting the nuclear material into orbit without harming anyone or burning too much fuel, would be to package it into an unmanned rocket which would be piggy-backed on a plane, flown up to near atmosphere, launched in mid air. this way, any risk should be massively reduced. if its unmanned, we dont lose our genius astronauts. only downside, is that as we all know, a nuclear explosion in the upper atmospher would cause an e.m.p. as for the heat issues, there would be minimal friction due to the use of magnets, and the speed at which you would be travelling would keep you away from the heat, because the plasma that is being heated is being ejected and left behind you, plus the fact that by the looks of the design, the hydrogen is whats being burned, and that being used as a catalyst for the plasma as it is ejected, not within a chamber or otherwise. before he lost his arm, my dad was an aircraft engineer, im not, but learned a few bobs. seems like a sweet design to me. and lets face it, if nasa has let the dude into the fold, he clearly has some kudos, else they'd have just told him they held a patent themselves and kicked him to the kerb.
@jaydeadone It doesn't seem that you read the whole article.
Of course there's no material which can contain anything at such temperatures, however in the article and drawings you can see that the idea is to hold the plasma with magnetic fields.
And this is not just an idea, it's something that they are already doing in their labs, that's why their plans have realy near dates (in this industry two years is a really short term).
Just to set you guys straight. It is not a nuclear explosion or reactor melt-down they are worried about. That should be easy enough to avoid. What they are referring to is the chemical rocket taking the reactor to orbit exploding and dispersing the nuclear material in the atmosphere causing radioactive fallout. Think dirty bomb, not A-bom/H-bomb.
As for the 2 million degree plasma burning up the containment vessel. I would hazard a guess that electro-magnetic fields would be involved in containing it rather than physical walls.
I find it incredible that we Earthlings don't give a hang about releasing nuclear radiation IN SPACE. All the comments I read seemed to say "As long as we can get the nuclear propulsion hardware safely into space, then there's no reason not to use it.
Is the assumption that extraterrestrials are so likely to be of a totally different biology, that we don't even have to consider their safety, in indiscriminately spewing some serious half-life matter in all directions. And please, no lectures on the vastness of space. Our vehicle is presumably going SOMEWHERE, and how will that somewhere not become contaminated? I'll try not to mention the potential danger to the crew. I respect their bravery and scientific curiosity. The astronaut/inventor, Mr. Chiang Diaz himself, states he plans to use this technology as propulsion for his start up space garbage trucking company. And though he's operating in a vacuum literally, such work will no doubt entail contact with other spacefarers, so in that sense he won't be irradiating 'in a vaccum.'
OK, I think I understand that the fission is expected to be contained, and only the plasma, when superheated by the fission, will be expelled into space. Can this be done without the plasma becoming radioactive? And what is the percentage likelihood of this new technology working perfectly from the start, and successfully containing all nuclear radiation?
Oh I forgot, that's a risk that can be safely ignored.

Rebecca Romijn Movies
With just as much comic timing as beauty,
Rebecca Romijn-Stamos
made the transition from model to actress look easy. After a memorable stint on the NBC sitcom Just Shoot Me, she parlayed her previous small roles in
Dirty Work
(1998) and
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
(1999) into a full-fledged movie career.
Born on November 6, 1972,
is the daughter of a Dutch father and a Dutch-American mother. Her parents, a custom toy and furniture maker and an English as a Second Language teacher, divorced when she was seven.
, whose first language is Dutch, grew up in the hippie counterculture of Berkeley in the '70s. She attended Berkeley High School where her cheerfulness, blonde locks, and long legs earned her the nickname "Jolly Blonde Giant." After graduation, she enrolled in the music program at the University of Southern California at Santa Cruz to study singing. Partially into her freshman year,
grew restless. She yearned to travel but could barely afford her tuition. A friend introduced her to a Parisian modeling scout, who convinced her to move to Paris.
Within a short time,
landed the cover of French Elle and signed contracts with the cosmetics company Biotherm and the famed fashion houses of Christian Dior and Escada. Over the course of her extremely high-profile modeling career she has posed for Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated, been the Miller Light "fantasy girl" and the face of Tommy Girl, as well as graced numerous magazine covers. Yet, in 1996,
became bored with simply modeling. With the support of boyfriend
John Stamos
(whom she married in 1998), she took a chance on acting.
In the fall of 1997,
made her small-screen debut as
David Schwimmer
's outrageously sloppy girlfriend on NBC's
. Shortly afterward, she tried out to replace
Daisy Fuentes
as the host of MTV's House of Style, but bombed the audition.
, who as a child fantasized about becoming an anchorwoman, boldly called the producer from a pay phone to petition for the job. Impressed by her moxie, the station hired her for the two-year gig.
The burgeoning actress graduated to movies as the bearded lady in
Bob Saget
Dirty Work
(1998), before modeling lingerie for
Mike Myers
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
(1999). She then returned to television to play
David Spade
's wife on Just Shoot Me in the fall of 1999. Originally hired to appear in three episodes,
was such a big hit that producers asked her to return later in the season.
Branching out from comedy,
Hugh Hefner
's ex-wife, playmate Kimberly Hefner, in the television drama Hefner: Unauthorized (1999). She rang in the new millennium by donning head-to-toe blue body paint and scales for her role as Mystique in
Bryan Singer
(2000). By then a savvy business woman,
negotiated to receive more money per word than any other of the film's cast members (which included
Patrick Stewart
Ian McKellen
Halle Berry
, and
Hugh Jackman
) because she knew her role as the taciturn shape shifter required very few lines. Her work in the action-packed comic book adaptation lead to a part in
John McTiernan
(2002), a remake of the '70s film about the futuristic world of sports. That same year, she earned the title role in
Brian De Palma
Femme Fatale
was maligned by critics and
Femme Fatale
had a mixed reception,
returned to the favor of audiences and critics in the 2003 sequel X2: X-Men United with a much meatier role for Mystique than the first film. 2004 found the actress sticking with Marvel comic adaptations as she costarred opposite Thomas Jane in The Punisher. That same year, she starred with Greg Kinnear and Robert De Niro in the thriller Godsend and in 2006, she reprised the role of Mystique once again for X-Men: The Last Stand. Romijn also assumed a recurring role on the series Pepper Dennis, an experience that worked out so well, the actress decided to pursue more television, with a cameo on the series Carpoolers in 2007, and a recurring role on the hit show Ugly Betty in 2008. ~ Aubry Anne D'Arminio, Rovi

When a reformed grifter currently running a prosperous alibi service for adulterous husbands inadvertently becomes an accessory to murder, he is forced to execute one last, well-timed con as a means of clearing his name in this lightning fast caper comedy starring Steve Coogan, Rebecca Romijin, Selma Blair, and Sam Elliot. Ray (Coogan) is a smooth operator with a special knack for helping his fellow man dodge the proverbial bullet. When a married man simply can't resist the urge to have a bit of fun on the side, Ray is the man they call to ensure that word of their infidelity never gets back to their unsuspecting wives. When the spoiled son of a high-profile client accidentally kills his clandestine lover on the eve of his wedding, Ray is shocked to discover that he has been implicated in the crime. With a small-town cop targeting him on one side and a mysterious assassin known as "The Mormon" locking him into his sights from the other, desperate Ray must now enlist the aid of his beautiful new recruit Lola (Romijin) in carrying out one last con designed to both clear his name, and save his life.

Pepper Dennis [TV Series]
A vehicle for the dazzlingly beautiful Rebecca Romijn, the WB comedy drama Pepper Dennis cast the model-turned-actress as the title character, an up-and-coming news reporter for fictional Chicago TV station WEIE. Aspiring to anchor the station's top-rated news broadcast, Pepper Dennis was understandably put out when the job went to handsome Charlie Babcock (Josh Hopkins) -- with whom Pepper had had a one-night stand just before he was hired for the job! Now relegated to the position of Babcock's assistant and occasional on-air replacement, Pepper did her darnedest to hide her jealousy (not to mention her still-strong attraction to Charlie) when anchoring WEIE-TV's characteristic "if it bleeds it leads" news features. Typical of Pepper's assignments was the episode in which, to expose a poker-club prostitution ring, she had to disguise herself as a hooker. Also, in keeping with the tenor of the times (the mid-2000s), Pepper and her colleagues zinged out a great many wisecracks and put-downs aimed toward certain right-wing cable news hosts, notably that guy with the Irish name who was "looking out for you." The rest of the cast included Brooke Burns as Kathy Dinkle, Pepper's whiny, self-centered sister, who moved in with our heroine after the breakup of her marriage (which she unfairly blamed on Pepper); Ms. Dennis' best friend, WEIE's acerbic makeup artist Kimmy Kim; and Rider Strong as Chick, a station cameraman who worshipped Pepper from afar. Created by Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts, whose previous efforts included the highly regarded but little-watched Wonderfalls, Pepper Dennis debuted April 4, 2006. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

An unscrupulous Hollywood agent seeks to balance the success of his professional status with the abysmal reality of his personal life in director Mike Binder's existential comedy drama. When it comes to playing the Hollywood game, no one does it better than Jack Giamoro (Ben Affleck). Yet despite having a high-powered job, money to spare, and a beautiful wife, Jack slowly begins to suspect that something is missing from his glitz and glamour life. After enrolling in a journal-writing class in hopes of gaining a deeper understanding of his feelings, the man who has it all is shocked to learn that his wife Nina (Rebecca Romijn) has entered into a heated affair with his biggest client.

Not only does the diary contain sensitive personal information, but crucial information about his high-profile clients as well.

Paul (Greg Kinnear) and Jessie Duncan (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) have barely begun the grieving process when Dr. Richard Wells (Robert De Niro) attends the funeral of the Duncans' eight-year-old son, Adam (Cameron Bright), with a pressing question in tow. Head of the Godsend Fertility Clinic, Dr. Wells claims he can use Adam's rapidly dying cells to clone a replica of the boy, though the necessary DNA will only be viable for another 24 hours. The process in itself is completely illegal; not only must Jessie and Paul be forced to relocate, but they will also be forced to sever all ties with friends and family in order to ensure the secret remains so. Within the space of a day, the Duncans consider the legal and ethical implications of such a procedure, ultimately deciding that their love for Adam is enough to trump the law and any high-minded philosophical questions. After resettling in an idyllic town near Dr. Wells' clinic, Jessie is impregnated with the late Adam's living cells, while Paul is given a beautiful home and a more than suitable job. Shortly afterward, the new Adam -- seemingly identical to the original Adam in every way -- is born and lives a life quite similar to his predecessor until the morning of his eighth birthday. A series of night terrors is the first thing to disturb the Duncans' otherwise serene lifestyle. Adam's violent visions eventually mutate to ill temper, and an aura of menace permeates the aura of a boy who had otherwise been sweetness incarnate from the day of his birth. Eventually, Paul discovers that Dr. Wells is not a pediatrician, but a geneticist, and that their playing God may have been a Faustian bargain of epic proportions. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Chris Klein stars as all-American athlete Jonathan Cross, the most popular player of "Rollerball," a violent 21st century sport mixing elements of basketball, hockey, roller derby, and extreme sports, along with the development of live wagering that tracks each game's action. Along with his friends and teammates Marcus (L.L. Cool J) and Aurora (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos), Jonathan is living the life of a media celebrity and millionaire, enjoying the adoration of fans and all of the perks that his fame brings.

de rigueur
for the game, he schemes to create the bloody incidents that are popular with viewers but put the athletes in mortal jeopardy.

Laure Ash (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) is a beautiful but mysterious woman who has aligned herself with a small ring of jewel thieves, led by a man known as Black Tie (Eriq Ebouaney), who has planned a major score during the Cannes Film Festival. Sexy model Veronica (Rie Rasmussen) is scheduled to make a spectacular entrance for the screening of director Regis Wargnier's picture, wearing a body-hugging piece of jewelry worth a cool ten million dollars. Laure approaches the sexually adventurous Veronica and is able to seduce her, while at the same time stealing her diamond-studded outfit and replacing it with a carefully constructed counterfeit. Veronica, however, also makes off the loot without giving her partners their cut, and must go into hiding in order to avoid the wrath of Black Tie and his cohorts. Fate allows Laure to make her way to the United States, where in time she marries a powerful politician. Photographer Nicolas Bardo (Antonio Banderas), however, had snapped a picture of Laure while she was on the lam years before, and when he takes an assignment to get a photo of the camera-shy woman, Laure realizes Nicolas is in a position to reveal her new identity to the world -- and put the bloodthirsty Black Tie back on her trail. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Models Heidi Klum, Laetitia Casta and Rebecca Romjin also discuss the stress of being on set and life as a supermodel.

Austin Powers -- fashion photographer, denizen of Swingin' London, international espionage agent, and bane of dental hygienists everywhere -- returns in his second screen adventure. Powers (once again played by Mike Myers), a 1960s superspy stranded in the 1990s, discovers that his nemesis, criminal genius Dr. Evil (also Mike Myers), has somehow stolen his "mojo" (the secret to his otherwise inexplicable sex appeal) and traveled back in time to the 1960s as part of his latest fiendish scheme. Powers must also travel back in time to retrieve it, but if Austin doesn't quite fit into 1998, he's been there just long enough not to fit in in 1968 anymore, either. Powers also discovers that Dr. Evil has new allies this time: Mini-Me (Verne Troyer), a clone of Dr. Evil one-eighth his size but just as nasty; Fat Bastard (Myers yet again), whose name describes him just fine; and vixenish assassin Robin Swallows (Gia Carides). Powers' lack of mojo also proves troublesome when he's paired with his new partner, saucy CIA operative Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham). Other characters returning from the first film include Elizabeth Hurley as Vanessa Kensington, Robert Wagner as Number Two, Michael York as Basil Exposition, Seth Green as Scott Evil, and Mindy Sterling as Frau Farbissina. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me also includes cameo appearances from Tim Robbins, Jerry Springer, Woody Harrelson, and Burt Bacharach with his current songwriting partner, Elvis Costello. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit 1998
It is hardly a mystery why the Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has become one of the most popular single issue magazines year in and year out. People's fascination with scantily clad women in exoctic locations is as close to a sure thing, in terms of sales, as you can get. And so it only makes sense for the magazine to back up its 1998 magazine release with a shot on location documentary. Filmed much like a Playboy Playmate video, the images range from behind the scenes shennigans, to wind wisped slow motion pans of the female body. Several of the scenes have voiced over interviews with photographers, camera crew and models Eva Herzigova, Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks accompanying the images. This video is definetly more risque than the magazine and may not be suitable for younger audiences. ~ Ed Atkinson, Rovi

It features an explicit view of models Angie Everhart, Rebecca Romjin, Stacey Williams and Daniela Pestova; as well as voiced over interviews from members of the photo shoot crew and the models that teamed up for the 1995 issue. Many of these interviews discuss how the location of the shoot was picked, the effort it took to capture the "one" shot and how the models were made to look so good.

Should There Be an International Treaty on Cyberwarfare? >
A Treaty Would Do Nothing to Prevent Cyberterrorist Groups
World must first find common ground on how and when to seek what regulation of cyberwar is possible
June 8, 2012
No, not yet. But possibly in the future.
Traditional arms control approaches do not work well in thinking about the world of cyberwar, and many obstacles stand in the way of such a treaty today. A treaty would not constrain the behavior of sub-national entities (e.g., terrorist groups, organized crime), which have some interest and capability to wage cyberwar. The instruments of cyberwarfare are technically hard to distinguish from those of cyberespionage, and the latter is not illegal under international law since all nations pursue it. Accountability would be difficult to enforce, given a lack of clarity about who might be responsible for a cyberattack that rises to the level of "warfare." Verification of a treaty that banned the instruments of cyberwarfare would be virtually impossible.
Before we are ready to begin negotiating any kind of treaty regarding cyberwarfare, a few preliminary steps are in order.
[Read: NSA Built Stuxnet, But Real Trick Is Building Crew of Hackers]
First, research is needed on whether some kind of arms control agreement in cyberspace, whose scope and nature are as yet unknown, could still be useful. The fact that traditional arms control doesn't extend well into cyberspace should not be taken to mean that no form of cyberarms control is feasible.
Second, nations concerned about cyberwarfare should seek common ground. "Common ground" might include developing a common language with which to describe the issues, such as understanding what activities constitute a significant cyberattack; how might damage or harm from a cyberattack be assessed; what activities might constitute evidence of hostile intent; how should cyberexploitation and intelligence-gathering be differentiated from cyberattacks; how, if at all, should exploitations for economic purposes be differentiated from exploitations for national security purposes; how, if at all, should military computer systems and networks be separated from those of the civilian population; how to determine the significance of nonstate parties that might launch cyberattacks; and how nations might respond to such attacks.
[Read the U.S. News debate: Should the Congress Pass CISPA?]
Third, it may be possible to reach agreement regarding certain topics in cyberspace outside the domain of national security. For example, many nations recognize fraud and child pornography as significant problems in cyberspace and have to some extent agreed on measures to deal with them. Protection of national infrastructures from third-party attacks may be another common interest.
If the steps above bear fruit, the resulting regime may go a long way toward laying the foundation for a more far-reaching treaty regarding cyberwarfare should that be deemed desirable.

This route is long, fun, reasonably safe, high, sustained and exposed. It's one of the best on the mountain with super solid rock...go climb it! As you're hiking down to the base of The Fortress, you'll pass a narrow slot between a large boulder and the main wall with a large pine tree and ledge on the other side. Slipping through here will deposit you at the start of the route's second pitch, otherwise, continue hiking down another 100' or so to the actual start. P1: 80ft. 5.9 Follow the bolts over a slightly bulgy start (not the bolt-protected roof to the left). A short 5.9 section yields easier climbing above. Use the pine tree on top for your belay anchor. P2: 150ft. 5.9 Amid the myriad bolt lines that cruise upward from here, pick the second from the left. It will follow slightly reddish rock generally up and slightly left, then angle right and head straight to the top of the mini-tower. The climbing looks hard from below the tower, but the holds appear as you reach them. Belay from the 2-bolt anchor on top and relish one of the most fantastic positions in the Catalinas. Then rap down to the massive ramp, keeping a sharp eye for the 2-bolt anchor that lies at the base of the third pitch. P3: 150ft. 5.9 Ponder your chosen pursuit of hobbies as you make the committing step over the void from the ramp to the main wall. Follow the bolts through the route's crux 5.9+ moves. Though mostly well-bolted, there's at least one lean stretch in the middle that will keep most leaders on their toes. Belay from the 2-bolt anchor. A dropped belay device from here will whistle down, strike an angled face, and lauch hundreds of feet into the trees. Really. After my partner did this I loaned him my spare, which he proceeded to almost drop again from the next pitch. Choose your routes and partners carefully. P4: 100ft. 5.8 Follow a few more bolts over a short headwall and cruise up easy, unprotected 5th class to the 2-bolt anchor on top. Soak in the views, have some lunch, and argue over which pitch was the best. Descent: Take the North Ridge 5th class scramble home, unless you have a second rope and want to risk interfering with other climbing parties and getting the rope stuck on rappel.
20 draws; the route is all bolts with double bolt anchors for each pitch.
The second pitch was some of the best climbing on the mountain. But our rope getting stuck on chickenheads when we rapped off the tower to get to the third pitch turned a great day into a sucky day. It's much better to just finish on Tres Frijoles.
Hey Turk, is that you? contact me. I'd like to get back into rock climbing....awesome dude, seen Alex? Find me at a college back home.
Locate the start of the second pitch as follows: When standing at the big tree at the top of pitch 1, pitch 2 is the first bolt line to climber's right. A route was added to the cliff so the route description for locating the second pitch is out of date. Note too that the "Squeezing the Lemon II" topo (page 304) correctly shows the route to the right of the big tree.
Did this route summer of 2010 the day after one of the large thunderstorms. The climbing team had gotten together and we had spent the night in the observatory (a crazy place to be in a thunderstorm!) Well after a very late night and only about 3 hours of sleep we woke up and walked down to the wall. Mico and 2 others roped up for Steel Crazy while my partner Sean Campbell and I started up Fort-Stress. This is some of the funnest climbing on the mountain! For a second multipitch (Steel Crazy was the first) this was a real treat. We had a mini-epic locating the anchors at the base of the third pitch. They are hard to find and are in a small groove which makes them very difficult to see.

Consider the holiday season: If you see a Tannenbaum towering over a public area, a massive menorah is probably nearby. But while we're a huge dish of diversity, apparently some parts of the country still need to "stir well."
To find out which cities are homogenous holdouts, we looked at the percentage of foreign-born residents as well as people who speak a language other than English at home (American Community Survey). Then we checked data on nonwhite residents (U.S. Census). Finally we tallied different religious denominations (Association of Religion Data Archives and Social Explorer Religion/InfoGroup).
