Phoebe Cates Movies
After shooting to stardom during the '80s in a string of youth-orientated movies, former model
Phoebe Cates
hit her stride in the '90s as a featured player in ensemble films. Born
Phoebe Belle Katz
on July 16, 1963 in New York City,
is the daughter of television producer
Joseph Cates
(The $64,000 Question) and the niece of film director
Gilbert Cates
I Never Sang for My Father
Joan Crawford
was her godmother. While growing up in Manhattan,
attended New York's prestigious Professional Children's School. An exceptional dancer, she studied with the School of American Ballet until a knee injury forced her to quit in 1977. At the suggestion of the family for which she babysat, she began modeling in teen magazines and commercials. A few years later, director
Stuart Gillard
dancing with friends at New York's Studio 54 and offered her the lead role in his
Blue Lagoon
(1980) knock-off,
(1982). She then gave a standout performance as
Jennifer Jason Leigh
's sexually mature best friend in
Amy Heckerling
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
(1982), before starring in
Private School
(1983). Besides appearing in the film's infamous "mooning" scene (during which the cast flashes the audience),
recorded two songs for
Private School
's soundtrack, "Just One Touch" and "How Do I Let You Know."
In 1984, with her star on the rise,
portrayed a young actress bent on destroying her deadbeat mother in the notoriously tasteless television film
(1984). That same year, she signed on to play the love interest in
Joe Dante
's horror-comedy
. Written by
Chris Columbus
and produced by
Steven Spielberg
's Amblin Entertainment, the bizarre, special effects-laden film about a group of strange and violent creatures was a colossal success -- despite premiering only two weeks after
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
(1984) and on the same day as
(1984). After returning for
Lace 2
appeared as
Michael J. Fox
's model wife in
Bright Lights, Big City
(1988) and as a young bride-to-be in the coming-of-age film
began the '90s at a personal low, starring in the sequel to
Gremlins 2: The New Batch
(1991), and in
Ate de Jong
's disastrous
Drop Dead Fred
(1991). She quickly revived her career opposite
Bridget Fonda
Eric Stoltz

Tim Roth
in the Generation X comedy
Bodies, Rest & Motion
(1993), before earning rave reviews for her performance as the mysterious title character in
Princess Caraboo
(1994). The film also starred

returned to the screen in
The Anniversary Party
(2001), an ensemble film co-written and co-directed by her friend and
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Jennifer Jason Leigh
and actor
Alan Cumming
. Acting opposite
(who portrayed her fictional husband in the film),
played none other than an actress who has left show business to raise a family.
In addition to her screen work,
has also appeared frequently on the stage. Her numerous theater credits include The Tenth Man at Lincoln Center, Much Ado About Nothing at the New York Shakespeare Festival, The Seagull and The Three Sisters at the La Jolla Playhouse, and Romeo and Juliet at the Goodman Theater. ~ Aubry Anne D'Arminio, Rovi

Dogma 95
-inspired first feature for acclaimed performers Jennifer Jason Leigh and Alan Cumming, the two star as Joe and Sally Therrian, a couple who have recently reconciled after a yearlong separation, and who decide to throw a sixth anniversary party in their honor. They invite a bevy of Hollywood types, including Skye Davidson (Gwyneth Paltrow), a young, beautiful, Ecstasy-pushing actress appointed to play a character based on
Sally in the new feature film based on Joe's successful novel. Also featured are Cal and Sophia Gold (played by real-life marrieds Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates), the former a co-star of Sally's and the latter her best friend who has given up the business to raise a family; Mac (John C. Reilly), the director of the new film and his actress wife Clair (Jane Adams), who has continued working after the recent birth of their child; Judy and Jerry Adams (Parker Posey and John Benjamin Hickey), the Therrians' managers; and Gina (Jennifer Beals), Joe's ex-girlfriend, who is often regarded as his first big love. Things are complicated when their contentious neighbors (Mina Badie and Denis O'Hare) make an appearance, and a mystery gift causes the event to unravel over the course of one long evening. The film was also written by Cumming and Leigh, another first for both actors. ~ Jason Clark, Rovi

Scratch the Surface is former teen model turned documentary filmmaker Tara Fitzpatrick's examination of experiences in the fashion industry, and those of her friends and family. Fitzpatrick interviews her mother, aunt, and grandmother, and her sister Tracy Fitzpatrick, all of whom were models. She interviews her contemporaries, Phoebe Cates and her sister, Valerie, Whitney Houston, Brooke Shields, Pamela Gidley, and Lisanne Falk. They tell anecdotes about their experiences, offer their impressions of the business, and discuss the impact of growing up in the public eye. Eileen Ford of the Ford Modeling Agency, John Casablancas of Elite Modeling, former Seventeen Magazine editor Midge Richardson, and makeup artist Bonnie Maller also give their perspective, which often differs substantially from that of the former models. Supermodel Bridget Hall, at the height of her career when the film was made, gives a less detached view of that world. Most of these young women decry the powerful influence of beauty magazines and advertisements on American culture, and each seems to have at least one horror story about how she was treated. But almost all of them acknowledge that their exposure to the business at such a young age ended up having some kind of positive impact on their lives. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Add Princess Caraboo to top of Queue
Loosely based on an actual incident, this family-friendly British comedy is also a sly satire of class consciousness. Phoebe Cates stars as a woman who appears in the English countryside of 1817 wearing exotic garb and speaking gibberish. Delivered to a nearby manor, the mystery woman is sheltered by the Worralls (Wendy Hughes and Jim Broadbent), who are then persuaded by their suspicious Greek butler Frixos (Kevin Kline, Cates' real-life husband) to have the drifter tried for vagrancy and begging, capital crimes. At the hearing, however, the woman persuades the magistrate through pantomime that she is a princess of Javanese origin named Caraboo, escaped from pirate kidnappers. The Worralls welcome Caraboo back into their home, lavishing upon her the deference due a royal. A society sensation, Caraboo wins over a linguist (John Lithgow), the prince regent (John Session), and even Frixos. Only an Irish reporter, Gutch (Stephen Rea), remains skeptical about Caraboo's origins. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Eric Schaeffer and Donald Ward managed to scrape together 22,000 dollars to make this independent film about the making of an independent film. Schaeffer plays a New York City cabdriver (which he really was), while Ward co-stars as his roommate (which he really was). They have no money, no script, and admittedly not much talent, but they're determined to put a movie together about a couple of slightly overweight twentysomethings who are united by their "outsider" status. Talent agent Lisa Gerstein, the men's mutual friend, takes a maternal interest in their project. Along the way, they manage to charm genuine celebrities such as Phoebe Cates and Martha Plimpton into appearing in their film. (Cates really was cajoled into appearing when she stepped into Schaeffer's taxi!) My Life's in Turnaround debuted at the Seattle Film Festival, where it scored a hit (despite its misogynistic undertones) and earned Schaeffer and Ward a multimillion-dollar studio deal. Incidentally, the word "turnaround" is a Hollywood term referring to a movie project that has been in development so long that its chances of ever being produced are slim to none; detractors of Schaeffer and Ward (and there are many) tend to wish that this had been the fate of My Life's in Turnaround. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Bodies, Rest & Motion to top of Queue
Michael Steinberg, co-director of The Waterdance, made his solo directorial debut with the Gen-X character study Bodies, Rest & Motion. Written by Roger Hedden, based on his own play, the film's title refers to Newton's First Law of Motion, which states essentially that a body at rest or in motion will remain in that state until acted upon by an external force. The film is set in the desert town of Enfield, AZ. Nick (Tim Roth) is a feckless television salesman who gets fired and impulsively decides that he and his girlfriend, Beth (Bridget Fonda), will move to Butte, MT, which he's read is "the city of the future." "I read that a while ago, so the future should be there by now," he enthuses. He waits until the last moment to tell Carol (Phoebe Cates), his ex and Beth's best friend, about the move. While Nick is working his last day, Sid (Eric Stoltz) comes to the couple's house to paint it for the next tenants. He quickly develops an interest in Beth. He, Beth, and Carol get stoned and hang out. When Sid hears about the move, he tells Beth that he's never left Enfield, and has no interest in traveling. Meanwhile, Nick decides to take off on his own. When Beth gets word of this from Carol, she finds solace in Sid's arms. Sid proclaims his love the next morning, and implores Beth to stay. Meanwhile, Nick visits his childhood home, looking for his parents, has an epiphany, and decides to return to Carol. The film features Alicia Witt (Urban Legend) in her first substantial part. There's also a very brief cameo by Peter Fonda, Bridget's father. Hedden would go on to collaborate with Stoltz again on Sleep With Me and Hedden's directorial debut, Hi-Life. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Add Drop Dead Fred to top of Queue
Phoebe Cates stars in this bizarre comedy that wants to be the kind of stylish comic fable the likes of Tim Burton's Beetlejuice and Pee-wee's Big Adventure but ends up looking like a shabby burlesque about schizophrenia. Cates is Elizabeth, who has recently separated from her philandering husband Charles (Tim Matheson) and moved back home with her harridan mother Polly (Marsha Mason). Back in her old little-girl haunts, she regresses into childhood and recalls her imaginary childhood friend Drop Dead Fred (Rik Mayall), a nasty, ill-tempered sociopath. As a child, Elizabeth created mayhem with her imaginary pal, but Polly locked him up tight in a jack-in-the-box. But now, Elizabeth mistakenly liberates him from the jack-in-the-box, and the newly freed Drop Dead Fred proceeds to wreak more havoc than the Id Monster from Forbidden Planet -- taking vengeance upon all the people who have made Elizabeth miserable -- and then some. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Where the original Gremlins was a horror film spiked with comedy, Gremlins 2: The New Batch is essentially a black comedy, with a couple of horrifying touches. As the film starts, the fantastical trinket shop in Chinatown, which sold the Mogwai in the first film, is demolished by a crazed multi-media businessman called Daniel Clamp (John Glover). The heroes from the first movie, Billy (Zach Galligan) and Kate (Phoebe Cates), happen to work for Clamp in his huge high-rise. They find the Mogwai within Clamp's building, but not before he has accidentally spawned legions of mischievous, lizard-like Gremlins. Soon, the Gremlins are wreaking havoc throughout the building. In the original film, their misdeeds were violent, but here they're also goofy and satirical. Director Joe Dante has filled the film with quick verbal and visual jokes, which, for many, makes Gremlins 2: The New Batch a satire and inversion of the typical horror film. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Lawrence Kasdan's black comedy about a wife's ultimate revenge against her womanizing husband is based on a true story about the wife of a pizzeria owner who decided to kill her cheating husband. When her attempt to murder him failed, the husband refused to press charges against her because he felt she had done the right thing. Kevin Kline is the pizzeria owner Joey Boca in I Love You to Death. Joey is a smooth Italian lothario, modeled after Marcello Mastroianni, who cheerfully dons his plumbers overalls to repair his female tenants' plumbing in the rental apartments the family owns. Joey feels he is justified in bedding down countless numbers of women because of all the hours he puts in day after day at the pizzeria. Plus, as he tells one of his women friends, "I'm a man. I got a lotta hormones in my body." His wife Rosalie (Tracey Ullman) sweetly ignores her husband's philandering -- that is until she visits the public library and sees Joey fondling one of tenants in the book stacks. At first Rosalie considers suicide, but finally, egged on by her mother Nadja (Joan Plowright), she determines that Joey must be the one to face the music. But the people Rosalie hires to do Joey in are of the cut-rate variety and are unsuccessful. They then try to knock Joey off by feeding him barbiturate-laced spaghetti, but also to no avail. Rosalie then enlists pizzeria employee Deco Nod (River Phoenix), who has a crush on Rosalie, to do the job. But even then, they have no luck. As a last resort, they try to hire professionals. What they get instead are two drugged-out junkies -- Harlan (William Hurt) and Marlin (Keanu Reeves) -- who arrive at the home and blast at a slumbering figure in the bedroom. Then, while they report on their progress downstairs, Joey ambles into the living room, very much alive. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Michael J. Fox once more makes a courageous effort to shed his nice-guy image in Bright Lights, Big City. Fox plays an impressionable Kansan who comes to the Big Apple to take a job at a major magazine. It isn't long before he falls into the twin traps of drug and alcohol abuse. His only hope for redemption is in the hands of Vicky (Tracy Pollan), the cousin of his scuzzy drinking buddy Tad (Kiefer Sutherland). Jay McInerney's bestselling novel does not translate easily to the big screen, but Fox strives hard to please, as do all of his costars. The white stuff snorted by Fox wasn't really cocaine, but powdered milk. Watch for Frasier's David Hyde Pierce in a small role and Jason Robards in a significant unbilled cameo. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Shag is a beach flick set in 1963. The years have passed, but the old Where the Boys Are formula holds firm: four attractive young lasses head for the surf and sand of Myrtle Beach, SC, looking for guys. Carson McBride (Phoebe Cates) is about to be married, so her three pals seek out a final
affaire d'amour
on her behalf before she is lost to the world forever. The cast is fascinating for its family ties: Bridget Fonda is the daughter of Peter Fonda, Page Hannah the sister of Daryl Hannah, and Tyrone Power Jr. is the son of you-know-who. Filmed in 1988, Shag was released that year in Europe, then offered to American audiences one year later. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

"Don't expose him to bright light. Don't ever get him wet. And don't ever, ever feed him after midnight." This sage advice is ignored midway through Gremlins, with devastating results. This comic Joe Dante effort is set in a Norman Rockwell-esque small town at Christmastime. Seeking a unique gift for his son an erstwhile inventor (Hoyt Axton) purchases a cute, fuzzy little "Mogwai" from a Chinatown shopkeeper's (Keye Luke) grandson (John Louie), who dispenses the above-mentioned warning before closing the deal. Meanwhile, young bank clerk Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) must suffer such antagonists as rich-bitch Mrs. Deagle (Polly Holliday) and priggish Gerald (Judge Reinhold) while pursuing his romance with Kate (Phoebe Cates). These and a variety of other plot strands are tied together when the lovable mogwai (named Gizmo) is exposed to bright light and gotten wet. In short order, the town is invaded by nasty, predatory Gremlins, who lay waste to everything in sight as Billy and Kate try to contain the destruction. Like most of Joe Dante's works, Gremlins is chock-full of significant cameo appearances: in this instance, such pop-culture icons as Dick Miller, Jackie Joseph, Chuck Jones, Scott Brady, Harry Carey Jr., Steven Spielberg (the film's executive producer) and even Robby the Robot all show up briefly on screen. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Three of the hallmarks of education in America -- nudity, teenage sex, and big, destructive gags -- are on plentiful display in this teen comedy. Christine (Phoebe Cates), a student at an exclusive all-girls private school, is in love with Jim (Matthew Modine), who attends an academy for boys nearby. Christine's archrival Jordan (Betsy Russell) also has her eye on Jim, and she is willing to do whatever she can to steal him away. Jim's über-slob buddy Bubba (Michael Zorek) is going with Betsy (Kathleen Wilhoite), Christine's cynical friend, though he would probably be unfaithful if any other woman were willing to get near him. Bubba and his pals sneak into the girls' school dressed in drag in hopes of reaching the Promised Land (better known as the women's shower room), while Christine and Jim run away together for the weekend, though their escapade isn't as romantic as they had hoped. Among the adults observing the chaos are Ray Walston, Fran Ryan, Martin Mull, and Sylvia Kristel; one of the sexy students on display is future scream queen Brinke Stevens. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Amy Heckerling's adaptation of Cameron Crowe's Fast Times at Ridgemont High is often considered one of the finest films of a disreputable genre (the teen sex comedy), and kick-started the careers of many future stars. The center of this ensemble film is Jennifer Jason Leigh as Stacy Hamilton. She is a young, innocent high-school student who, as the film opens, is asking for advice from her friend, the sexually outspoken Linda Barrett (Phoebe Cates). Stacy takes a liking to nebbish Mark Ratner (Brian Backer), but he is too afraid to make a move even after Stacy all but throws herself at him. She eventually hooks up with Mark's more confident best friend, Mike Damone (Robert Romanus). When not concerning itself with these four characters, the film spends time with stoned surfer dude Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) and his ongoing feud with history teacher Mr. Hand (Ray Walston). The film includes brief appearances by such future stars as Nicolas Cage, Eric Stoltz, and Forest Whitaker. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Yesterday, I was a guest on Pagan Radio Tonight. Selena Fox asked me to contribute to the continuing discussion on the Fox Media saga. I was happy to do so. To be honest, it was my first time doing a live broadcast and being a guest caller into a radio station. I'm a much better writer than speaker so I don't seek out public speaking opportunities.
The show started at 9pm EST. That's late for me to be doing anything worthwhile. However, I've never been one to back away from a challenge – staying awake being this one. So, I got myself ready not knowing exactly what to expect. I made some hot tea and settled myself into a comfortable chair with my computer and phone. When the time came, I called in and waited to be addressed. After the first question was over, I was relieved that I could actually speak coherently.
I was thrilled to see local friends in the chat room. "Hi Lady Charissa! I'm on the radio!"
But then it happened! A gigantic, southern-size black roach slowly meandered across the room. There I was on the phone live listening to Selena Fox and the other guests talk about equal rights while watching a combat-size roach marching in my direction. It took every nerve in body, every bit of energy, to stay seated and not react to the vile creature; not to scream and head for the hills.
To clarify, I am not bug-challenged. I save spiders and all. But when it comes to roaches in the home…. no way! I lose my grip. To justify my aggression, I have decided that a roach is lost soul trapped in a nasty little body. It must be killed to be saved. So I'm technically not doing "harm."
(Now, there's some good "spiritual" spin work for you.)
Anyway, the roach stopped a few times to consider my seated position. Was I gonna launch an attack? Was I going to let it finish its journey? As I stared in its direction, it twitched its long dangling antenna at me as if mocking my helpless state. Then it disappeared as roaches are apt to do.
So if you listen to the broadcast, remember that while I was engaged in the conversation, I was also engaged in a battle of wills with a roach.

Nighthawks PG/Evo Upper champs
Jeff Dahn
Monday, September 17, 2012
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The Trombly Nighthawks are the 2012 Perfect Game/EvoShield National Championship (Upperclass) national champions.
The Placentia, Calif.-based Nighthawks recorded a perfect 6-0 record at the event, which concluded Monday at sun-drenched Goodyear Ballpark, the spring training home of the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds.
Most of the damage Trombly did over the course of the four-day national tournament came at the plate, where it scored 57 runs in six games. As a team, the Nighthawks hit .357 (60-for-168) with 20 extra base hits, an on-base percentage of .460 and a slugging percentage of .524.
Josh Morgan (2014, Corona, Calif.), the 145th-ranked overall national prospect in his class and a UCLA commit, was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Morgan was 8-for-14 (.571) with four doubles, eight RBI, eight runs scored, a .739 OBP and .857 slugging percentage.
Right-hander Morgan Earman (2013, Indio, Calif.) earned the Most Valuable Pitcher award after working seven innings of five-hit ball and allowing one earned run while striking out five in the Nighthawks' semifinal victory Monday morning.
The No. 7-seeded Nighthawks delivered knockout punches early in their 6-1 win over 11th-seeded Iowa Select Black in the semifinals, pushing across two runs in each of the bottom of the second and the third, and single runs in the fourth and fifth.
David Miranda (2013, Placentia, Calif.) was 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI to lead the Nighthawks' nine-hit attack. Austin O'Banion (2013, Yorba Linda, Calif.) was 2-for-3 with a double, Daren Preece (2013, Huntington Beach, Calif.) had a pair of singles and Chris Witten (2013, Surprise, Ariz.) smacked a two-run single.
Matthew Johnson (2013, Ankeny, Iowa) had an RBI double and PG All-American A.J. Puk (2013, Cedar Rapids, Iowa) was 2-for-3 with a double to lead Iowa Select Black.
After outscoring their three pool-play opponents by a combined 28-8, the Nighthawks continued their scoring binge by plating 23 more runs in the first two rounds of the playoffs. They beat No. 10 GBG Yak Baseball, 8-4, in the first round then ambushed the No. 2 ABD Bulldogs, 15-8, in the quarterfinals.
The other two semifinalist at the PG/EvoShield National Championship (Upperclass) were Team Maryland and the So Cal Bombers 2013 Black.
The Bombers needed some late heroics to escape top-seeded Team Maryland (5-1) in the other semifinal. Trailing 1-0, Alec Smith (2013, Quartz Hill, Calif.) tied the game with an RBI single in the top of the sixth and Ty Boyles (2013, Lancaster, Calif.) drove in what proved to be the winning run with a line-drive triple to right field in the top of the seventh. Boyles also pitched a scoreless, hitless bottom of the seventh, striking out two.
Team Maryland, playing in its second straight PG/EvoShield National Championship, scored its only run in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI single from Nicolas Fisher (2013, Pasadena, Md.). Right-hander Josh Kutchey (2013, Frederick, Md.) threw six effective innings, allowing one earned run on three hits and striking out five.
The So Cal Bombers 2013 Black, who earned the No. 4 seed, beat No. 13 Team Rip, 4-2, in the first round of the playoffs and escaped the No. 5 West Coast Clippers, 2-1, in the quarters.
Team Maryland earned the playoffs' No. 1 seed after allowing just one run in three pool-play wins. It snuck past No. 16 AZ Pro 18u, 5-4, in the first round and then shutdown Team CALIFORNIA Baseball, 4-0, in the quarterfinals.
Iowa Select Black was the only team to advance to the quarterfinal round of the playoffs with a loss after completing pool-play with a 2-1 record and earning the No. 11 seed. But Iowa proved scrappy in the playoffs, and beat the No. 6 So Cal Dirtbags, 3-1, in the first round and thumped the No. 3 Dbacks Elite Scout Team, 10-4, in the round of eight.
Due to the use of an ineligible player by the So Cal Bombers, Trombly coaches filed a protest during the championship game, and after checking the rosters, tournament officials awarded the Championship to the Nighthawks. Both teams entered the championship game with unbeaten records of 6-0.
The So Cal Bombers had a couple players go down due to injuries which left them short-handed for the championship. They told tournament officials they didn't have enough players to continue, in which tournament officials told them that, by rule, they could add a couple of players to their roster. The Bombers were not informed that any players they added could not have played on another team during the tournament, leading to this miscommunication between the coaching staff and tournament officials. Because of this, tournament officials shared the blame, but once the protest was filed, the rules clearly defined the outcome.
Both teams are highly respected travel ball organizations from Southern California, and both were very understanding of the rules. The chain of events that led to this decision was more of a technicality than it was a case of blatant violation of the rules.
This marks the second time in PG history that a game was ruled a forfeit because of an ineligible player. In both cases the winners were from Southern California. In 2008 the ABD Bulldogs were the winners in a similar situation at the WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla., with the Bulldogs advancing as champions of that event.

You first create a bug entry covering the issue (sane, aside from login required), then you submit the web form to alert them to the submission (er...?) and they have a lovely set of guidelines to follow (gems like "The proposed change must support all baseline-certified versions of PHP, and must be able to support all databases, etc.").
Beat them hoops. Also, by my reading, they want the description of the improvement in the bug tracker, but the actual code submission via the web - what?

Libyan PM Ali Zeidan has been freed after being kidnapped in Tripoli by gunmen. "Way Too Early" host Brian Shactman has the updates.
Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan was taken by force from a hotel in Tripoli early Thursday but freed by his captors hours later, the country's Ministry for Information spokesman said.
His detention came days after militant groups pledged to retaliate over a raid by U.S. special forces to seize al Qaeda suspect Abu Anas al-Libi.
About 100 trucks of armed men arrived at dawn at the Corinithian Hotel where Zedian was living, and he was taken without an exchange of fire, a senior government official said.
Zeidan was taken "by gunmen to an unknown place for unknown reasons," a government statement said.
He was freed unharmed but the incident underlined the anarchy prevailing in the oil-rich North African state, two years after the Western-backed overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi.
"Libyans need wisdom ... not escalation ... to deal with this situation," he told his cabinet in remarks broadcast on television after his six-hour ordeal in the capital, according to Reuters.
Al Arabiya via Reuters
A still image aired by broadcaster Al Arabiya shows what it says is Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan surrounded by men at an unidentified location.
Before the prime minister's release, Saudi TV channel Al Arabiya broadcast images of a disheveled man it said was the prime minister being escorted by armed men.
A group known as the Operations Room of Libya's Revolutionaries, which was hired to provide security in Tripoli, claimed to be behind the incident. It told Reuters it had "arrested" the prime minster in response to Saturday's raid.
The former militants said they believed Zeidan's administration colluded with the U.S. in the raids, something the Libyan government has so far denied. According to a government official, the group claims it was acting based on an investigation by the government's anti-corruption unit.
Zeidan has been the focus of internal investigations involving bribes and corruption, but neither the ministry for the interior nor the general prosecutor have given an order for his arrest.
The senior government official told NBC News they did not consider Zeidan's abduction to be a "kidnapping."
Following al-Libi's capture on Saturday, Zeidan had called on the U.S. to explain its actions and had met with al-Libi's family late Wednesday, hours before the prime minister was taken.

Why Mitt Romney should not be elected as the 45th President of the United States

Mitt Romney speaks to supporters during in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Getty Images) |
The 2012 presidential election is vitally important to the future of the United States. As such, and for a change, I'm removing my dispassionate political analyst's hat. Just this once, I'm going to put on my partisan hat and articulate some of the reasons why I believe it's so important that President Obama be re-elected and as many Democrats as possible be elected and re-elected to the United States Senate and House of Representatives.
As an introductory aside, one almost couldn't help but be amused by Republican nominee Mitt Romney's series of gaffes on his trip to London last month. While what he said wasn't really too bad, it's his fault, and his campaign's fault, for not knowing how his remarks about preparing properly for the Olympic Games would be taken by the English politicians and press. David Cameron's comment about it being easier to organise an Olympics in the middle of nowhere was a fitting rebuttal to Romney's ill-chosen words.
At any rate, I think what he said while abroad and what he has written and said in the past are a mirror on the man himself. What that mirror reflects isn't particularly nice.
None of the foregoing or the following, however, is to say that Barack Obama is perfect, that the Democratic Party is perfect or that either party has anywhere close to all of the answers to the complicated and vexing issues that now confront the United States and, indeed, the western world.
Yet let's compare President Obama and the Republicans' standard bearer, former Massachusetts Governor Romney.
In the face of unrelenting opposition and knowing that it would provoke a backlash of epic proportions, President Obama succeeded in passing health care reform legislation. In vanquishing both entrenched, powerful interests and the ideological opposition of the far-right – those who believe that government is the enemy and that anyone who disagrees is a socialist – President Obama accomplished something that has eluded American presidents for a century.
Even former President Bill Clinton, one of the most formidable political operators to ever hold the office, couldn't get this done. And he had an overwhelming Democratic majority to work with when he tried. President Obama's victory on health care – due in no small part to the Trojan work of congressional leaders like Nancy Pelosi – is something that Democrats can rightly celebrate. It's already started to make a real difference in the lives of millions of Americans.
In addition to health care, President Obama was able to get crucial stimulus legislation passed that assisted millions of Americans in getting back to work and ensured that infrastructural improvements that have been needed for generations have been made.
President Obama also helped to rescue the American auto industry – remember that Governor Romney said "let it fail" – and, in doing so, preserved the quality of life for millions of Americans, their families and their communities. He's even breathed new life into the manufacturing sector in the "rust belt," which has struggled mightily as so-called free trade deals have inflicted untold damage on people who work with their hands for a living. President Obama is on their side.
At the same time, President Obama has been on the side of women, seniors, veterans, immigrants, minorities and all those struggling just to get by in America in 2012.
And whose side is Mitt Romney on? Well, it's not overly glib to say that a Romney administration would be government by the 1 percent for the 1 percent. That's whose side he's always been on.
Mitt Romney used to be governor of my home state of Massachusetts. People who dealt with him in state government never fail to remind me how disinterested they believe he was in the job – that it was just a necessary line on his résumé in preparation for seeking the presidency. On a very personal level, many observe that they don't believe he had the capacity to connect with the ordinary people he came into contact with. And this lack of empathy can be seen in his professional life.
He made a fortune as a venture capitalist. Just how did he do that? His erstwhile Republican presidential primary rival, Newt Gingrich, helped to answer the question in a lengthy political advertisement. The advertisement revealed the human toll of some of Romney's success. Make no mistake: when Mitt Romney of Bain Capital "restructured failing companies," he also eliminated the jobs and, as a result, forever changed the lives of hard-working Americans and their families – for the worse.
Now, he wants to be president. As a politician, his ideological journey may be without precedent. First, he was "moderate" and "progressive," then he was "conservative," then he was "severely conservative." These are all his words. In this election, he's going to try to convince the American people that he's really a moderate again. This will take some fancy footwork.
The far-right thinks the American people can be fooled and far-right radicals are spoiling for control of the White House. Andrea Shell, a spokesperson for the Tea Party-affiliated Freedom Works, recently commented that their advocates in Congress are going "to force Romney to the right." She stated that this was "our entire mission." Specifically, she continued that "[H]e's (Romney's) going to have to really, really go to the right. He'll be working with guys in the House and Senate. He won't be able to get away with too many middle of the road policies, especially on things like the deficit."
The reality is that Tea Party devotees know that Governor Romney will owe them if he wins the presidency. That's a scary thought, and might be the best reason for undecided and swing voters to re-elect President Obama.
As an American living overseas, I have a unique appreciation for just how radicalised the American right has become. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush opined that his father, former President George H.W. Bush, and even former President Ronald Reagan, wouldn't be acceptable to the far-right radicals currently calling the shots in the Republican Party. They would probably call them RINOs: Republicans in Name Only. These new and emboldened far-right radicals are dangerous.
When they say that access to quality health care is not a right, but a privilege; when they argue that wealthy people shouldn't be required to pay their fair share in taxes; when they see socialism in every attempt by government to do good; their pronouncements are broadcast around the world. Whether we Americans like it or not, their views reflect badly upon our country and upon us as a people.
I believe that these far-right radicals are wrong. I believe that we are a better country and a better people than they would lead the rest of the world to believe. That's why I believe President Obama and congressional Democrats need to win in November.
This election is about what the United States is like as a country and about who we are as Americans. The stakes have never been higher.
Back to dispassionate political analysis next time.

Regarding Romney's denunciation of the administration's statement regarding the provocative anti-Islamic film:
I think Romney, by jumping in so early and by attacking the US administration immediately, has done some considerable damage to his campaign.
At a time when Americans are under attack, he's given the impression of being small-minded and opportunistic.
Quite frankly, it would have been smarter for him first to express 100% support for the Americans in the Embassy, at least for the first day, when the information was not settled down; he could have gone negative when the facts were in, when there might be some clear reason to criticize. By attacking the administration at once, he's shown himself to be hasty and out for his own advantage, rather than looking out for the interests of the US.
When the team has taken a hit, the first thing you do is to reinforce the team; then you look for lessons to be learned; and only then would you criticize the coach. As a manager, I would have expected Romney to know that.
Maybe the reason he doesn't think this way: Romney doesn't regard the US as his team. He regards it as a take-over target.

Hmmm... seems like your little article excited the usual reaction from Republicans. No surprise there. Larry is right about the perception outside of the US toward the Republican party. Most observers beyond US borders have noticed a dramatic move to the right in US Republican circles. Surely even Republicans are aware of this. They don't care because they are "exceptional". Is that something like being "special"?

eiriamach, taxes are taken from earnings, if know one earns there is no tax, the defecit spending done in the last three years does present a problem, there are three solutions 1. tax or confiscate the debt, this will require far more than just what the rich make and will steal more from the middle class as it is the largest. 2. inflate the money supply which is no good for the middle class as cost of goods far outruns incomes. and 3. growth, growth requires capital, incentive, and return on investment. choose growth what do you choose eiriamach?

Mr. Donnelly, at the moment, about 1/2 the country disagrees with your opinion. People should make up their own minds and vote for the man they think will do the best job in leading the U.S. in the right direction. If you're old enough to vote, you should be able to choose a candidate without the unwanted advice and influence from others by doing your own research and taking an OBJECTIVE look at the records and policies of both candidates. Not what they say, but what they've done. Blow off those political ads that are nothing but lies, distortions, and at best, half truths. As an Independent, I've already made up my mind about who I'm going to vote for and no one on IC - columnist or poster - is going to change my mind.

Perhaps BrianO will explain how cutting four trillion dollars in taxes for corporations and extremely wealthy individuals, in both income taxes and capital gains taxes, will "get our fiscal house in order." The NY Times editors point out that the federal budget would not be out of the red for 30 years! And that estimate (from the Congressional Budget Office) INCLUDES all the cuts Ryan plans to make to domestic programs-- six trillion dollars' worth. The USA cannot afford NOT to implement the Affordable Care Act, which will reduce health care costs at hospitals and clinics and distribute insurance costs fairly to individuals. But adopting the Ryan budget would effectively redistribute much of that savings in health care costs to the wealthiest Americans in the form of ludicrously low taxes. That approach is called plutocracy.

Mr. Donnelly is living in Europe where his liberal attitudes are well received among the socialist governments of that continent. He has forgotten or never learned about the unique American qualities and experiences. Protecting the truly needy and being charitable are American attributes. But so is being thrifty and practical. The USA cannot afford to provide entitlements to so many non-working individuals. We need to get our fiscal house in order and Governor Romney is the best candidate to accomplish that. The Democrats passed Obamacare by bribing senators from Nebraska and Louisiana. Does the end justify the means? This is not a program that our country can afford at this time. But that is not a concern of the Democrats.

Is balancing the budget, and getting out of wars saving billions a week, and creating an environment of certainty that will let loose the money everyone is holding on to important. Obama doesn't seem to think so.
Is personal accountability important?
Is shredding the US Constitution a bad thing?
I believe the choices are very clear this election and if people get off their duffs and vote obama will be gone.

"There are two bars with high counter seating as well as booths and café tables. We have LCD TVs. The location has a deck on the east side and a nice patio on the west side of the building. The place just has a great feel to it. It's so much better than the little hole in the wall it was years ago."

Hi all,
OK so I didn't want to hijack another thread so started this one. Basically what I was looking at with the other thread was to get some feedback on the possibilities of using RED for EFP work. I am still getting my head around the whole RED concept so if I make mistakes it's just that I am not fully aware of the current situation on certain topics, i.e is 1080P now dropped and confirmed?
The basic scenario is that I would like to think that I could use RED for my future field work. The final delivery format is for regular TV in the U.S and maybe future DVD release, hence the reason for thinking that I could shoot in 1080P and then keep that as a master. If that shooting format has now been dropped then thats a moot point.
Having taken a look into the whole CF card issue I am not sure thats the way to go for EFP, in my situation. I'm looking at being in the field for up to a month at a time which will mean taking a lot of cards for the daily filming so as not be continually interrupted due to the necessity of downloading cards and reformatting etc.
The other issue I wanted to think about is the fact that I'm going to be spending time in dusty places in Africa, Botswana for one and possibly the Namibian Desert regions for a second. I am obviously very concerned as to what extended periods in such an environment may have on the well being of the Mysterium sensor when it comes to swapping out lenses etc!
I hope this thread clears up a bit what it is that I'm trying to accomplish.
How would you guys approach such a scenario?
Equipment considerations require that I be as light as possible.
Glass selection is now going to be different than that required for 1080P?

Case #1
Time: 4:57 P.M.
Date: Sept. 4th 2004
Situation: Dangerous poltergeist activity
Location: The Rosemarry Estate, Marristown Vermont
In all my years of teaching at the University of Vermont, i have never encountered such dangerous poltergiest activity. Yes, hmm quite extraordinary one we got here. I mean i left the university just about a year ago, and this is my first documented inccident i have done to share with the public. But i'm afraid something has came up, so i must pass this information onto you, the reader.
I have sent out documents like these to ensure that one of these will be answered.
But now onto the main reason i have sent this letter of recommendation to you!
The Rosemarry Estate has a long history that i will talk about in the next letter. But for now i will tell all that you need to know about what to do at this Estate. The estate itself is made up of four manors made into a large one. Though it can be tough navigating your way through it all, but besides the point. Poltergiest activity has been reported at the estate but it has escalated to the point the head of the estate is fearing for his family safety along with his maids,butlers and everyone else working at the estate. They have reported missing objects that are close to them and are never seen again. Also reports of ghostly appearences that frighten mostly all the workers in verious points in the house. There is another but i shall not disclose it because it could bring a worry to whoever is reading this. But if you want to know i'll give you a hint, it involves the Estate's dark history. That is all i can give until the next letter, i really do hope you take up on this chance to rid yourself from the regular world and into the world of the paranormal!

Options Glossary: C
Calendar spread
An option strategy which generally involves the purchase of a farther-term option (Call or put) and the writing of an equal number of nearer-term options of the same type and strike price. Example: buying 1 XYZ May 60 call (Far-term portion of the spread) and writing 1 XYZ March 60 call (Near-term portion of the spread). See also Horizontal spread.
Call option
An option contract that gives the owner the right to buy the underlying security at a specified price (Its strike price) for a certain, fixed period of time (Until its expiration). For the writer of a call option, the contract represents an obligation to sell the underlying stock if the option is assigned.
Cash settlement amount
The difference between the exercise price of the option being exercised and the exercise settlement value of the index on the day the index option is exercised. See also Exercise settlement amount.
Class of options
A term referring to all options of the same type - either calls or puts - covering the same underlying stock.
Close / Closing transaction
A reduction or an elimination of an open position by the appropriate offsetting purchase or sale. An existing long option position is closed by a selling transaction. An existing short option position is closed by a purchase transaction. This transaction will reduce the open interest for the specific option involved.
Closing price
The final price of a security at which a transaction was made. See also Settlement price.
A protective strategy in which a written call and a long put are taken against a previously owned long stock position. The options may have the same strike price or different strike prices and the expiration months may or may not be the same. For example, if the investor previously purchased XYZ Corporation at $46 and it rose to $62, a 'collar' involving the purchase of a May 60 put and the writing of a May 65 call could be established as a way of protecting some of the unrealized profit in the XYZ Corporation stock position. The reverse - a long call combined with a written put - might also be used if the investor has previously established a short stock position in XYZ Corporation. See also Fence.
Securities against which loans are made. If the value of the securities (Relative to the loan) declines to an unacceptable level, this triggers a margin call. As such, the investor is asked to post additional collateral or the securities are sold to repay the loan.
A trading position involving out-of-the-money puts and calls on a one-to-one basis. The puts and calls have different strike prices, but the same expiration and underlying stock. A long combination is when both options are owned, and a short combination is when both options are written. Example: a long combination might be buying 1 XYZ May 60 call, and buying 1 XYZ May 55 put.
Condor spread
A strategy involving four strike prices that has both limited risk and limited profit potential. A long call condor spread is established by buying one call at the lowest strike, writing one call at the second strike, writing another call at the third strike, and buying one call at the fourth (Highest) strike. This spread is also referred to as a 'flat-top butterfly.'
Contingency order
An order to execute a transaction in one security that depends on the price of another security. An example might be: 'Sell the XYZ May 60 call at 2, contingent upon XYZ stock being at or below $59.50.'
Contract size
The amount of the underlying asset covered by the option contract. This is 100 shares for 1 equity option unless adjusted for a special event. See also Adjustments.
An investment strategy in which a long put and a short call with the same strike price and expiration are combined with long stock to lock in a nearly riskless profit. For example, buying 100 shares of XYZ stock, writing 1 XYZ May 60 call, and buying 1 XYZ May 60 put at desirable prices. The process of executing these three-sided trades is sometimes called 'conversion arbitrage.' See also Reversal / Reverse conversion.
To close out an open position. This term is used most frequently to describe the purchase of an option or stock to close out an existing short position for either a profit or loss.
Covered call / Covered call writing
An option strategy in which a call option is written against an equivalent amount of long stock. Example: writing 2 XYZ May 60 calls while owning 200 shares or more of XYZ stock. See also Buy-write and Overwrite.
Covered combination
A strategy in which one call and one put with the same expiration, but different strike prices, are written against each 100 shares of the underlying stock. Example: writing 1 XYZ May 60 call and writing 1 XYZ May 55 put, and buying 100 shares of XYZ stock. In actuality, this is not a fully 'covered' strategy because assignment on the short put would require purchase of additional stock.
Covered option
An open short option position that is fully offset by a corresponding stock or option position. That is, a covered call could be offset by long stock or a long call, while a covered put could be offset by a long put or a short stock position. This insures that if the owner of the option exercises, the writer of the option will not have a problem fulfilling the delivery requirements. See also Buy-write.
Covered put / Covered cash-secured put
Cash secured put is an option stategy in which a put option is written against a sufficient amount of cash (Or T-bills to pay for the stock purchase if the short option is assigned).
Covered straddle
An option strategy in which one call and one put with the same strike price and expiration are written against each 100 shares of the underlying stock. Example: writing 1 XYZ May 60 call and 1 XYZ May 60 put, and buying 100 shares of XYZ stock. In actuality, this is not a fully 'covered' strategy because assignment on the short put would require purchase of additional stock.
Money received in an account either from a deposit or a transaction that results in increasing the account's cash balance.
Credit spread
A spread strategy that increases the account's cash balance when it is established. A bull spread with puts and a bear spread with calls are examples of credit spreads.
A measure of the rate of change in an option's delta for a one-unit change in the price of the underlying stock. See also Delta.
The expiration dates applicable to the different series of options. Traditionally, there were three cycles:
Cycle | Available Expiration Months |
January | January, April, July, October |
February | February, May, August, November |
March | March, June, September, December |
Today, equity options expire on a hybrid cycle which involves a total of four option series: the two nearest-term calendar months and the next two months from the traditional cycle to which that class of options has been assigned. For example, on January 1, a stock in the January cycle will be trading options expiring in these months: January, February, April, and July. After the January expiration, the months outstanding will be February, March, April and July.

An easy way to increase RV counter space
Camping in an RV is often preferred over tent camping since it offers more of the comforts of home many have come to expect while vacationing, including a real bed, running water, a bathroom and a kitchen.
However, the lack of space, especially kitchen counter space, is often a common complaint among RV owners.
Using a product like the Universal Stove Top Cover solves the problem of limited counter space quickly, easily and affordably.
The product, which is made of 20-gauge steel with a baked-on black enamel finish, also helps protect burners from dirt and dust.
The cover can be used in several ways. It acts as a splash guard between the burners and the wall when folded back. It can be flipped up on one side, leaving access to two burners, or folded and stored away compactly when all four burners are needed.
A Camping World customer, Holly, calls the Universal Stove Top Cover a great product.
She added, "Awesome fit and sturdy! Easy to attach. Adds the ability to have a bunch more counter space. Best money I have spent!"
