Remember how much fun we all had with our high tech Augmented Reality antics waaay back in March?
Well guess what? In this week's issue of Grazia, a certain Miss Cheryl Cole is getting in on the Augmented Reality scene, courtesy of L'Oreal Paris.
Yes, those discerning types who have purchased the latest mag, will find a double page spread of La Cole looking fox force five in possibly the glossiest lipgloss you've ever seen (that'll be GlamShine Reflexion in Sheer Cassis from L'Oreal Paris, then). The ad also features a large clapperboard symbol, and that is the magic trigger that, when held up to your computer's webcam, will launch an exclusive three and a half minute behind-the-scenes video featuring Cheryl on the latest L'Oreal TV commercial shoot. The advertisement was directed by Jake Nava, the man behind Beyonce's most memorable RnB music videos, such as Single Ladies and Crazy In Love, no less. And Grazia is giving you a sneak peek, because the commercial doesn't air on TV until June 9th!
So grab the current issue and watch Cheryl Cole step off the page and come to life...

Miami Valley Hospital to Provide Sports Medicine Coverage to Wright State Athletes
New Contract Provides for Physician at Home Games, On-Campus Clinic
DAYTON, Ohio, January 18, 2007 - Miami Valley Hospital (MVH) has signed a contract with Wright State University (WSU) to deliver sports medicine coverage to the university's athletic department.
As part of the agreement, MVH and Wright State Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine will partner with the WSU Athletic Department to make available a sports medicine physician on campus and at various sporting events, as well as assist in the training of students enrolled in the university's athletic training program. The contract marks the second area university represented by MVH for sports medicine. The hospital's Sports Medicine Center provides coverage for all University of Dayton athletics.
The arrangement is a real plus for injured Raider athletes. They will now benefit by being able to be seen on campus quickly by one of four Wright State Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine doctors who will conduct clinic hours at the university. Doctors participating in the sports clinic include Corey Ellis, M.D., Michael Herbenik, M.D., Matthew Lawless, M.D., and Joe Rubino, M.D. One of the four physicians will also be present to treat injured players at all Raider home games for men's and women's basketball and soccer.
"We are pleased to be affiliated with Wright State University's Department of Athletics," said Sean Convery, M.D., medical director of the MVH Sports Medicine Center. "Our staff of physicians, physical therapists and athletic trainers has a great deal of experience in this highly specialized area of medicine. Currently our staff cares for nearly 1,000 collegiate and 1,300 high school athletes."
The four doctors providing care to Wright State University athletes each completed their residency training through the Wright State School of Medicine. Dr. Ellis also holds an undergraduate degree from the university and pitched for the Raiders' baseball team. He says," I never dreamed that I would be returning to my alma mater as team physician. Wright State operates a first class athletic program and I am proud to provide medical care to players and to again be associated with the university."
"We are extremely pleased to have both Wright State Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine and Miami Valley Hospital as providers of care to our athletes," said WSU Athletics Director Dr. Michael Cusack. "The Wright State Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Group and the hospital's Sports Medicine Center have a staff with the breadth of experience and specialties to provide for all of our needs. We look forward to a long and healthy relationship."
Besides having contracts with Wright State University and the University of Dayton, the Miami Valley Hospital Sports Medicine Center holds contracts with three area high schools, Alter, Fairmont and West Carrollton, to provide sports medicine treatment to athletes.

Michael Guy says:
Yamaha launched its take on the big adventure bike market in 2010 when they unveiled the XT1200Z Super Tenere.
Aimed at getting a slice of the most lucrative sector in biking, the Yamaha's had success thanks to its good looks, build quality and reliability. But it hasn't quite won the hardcore cred of KTM or BMW GS Adventure rivals.

Too heavy. Its been said before. big bike riders always go on about when its going you don't feel the weight but in the dirt , you will get bogged down easier , you will find it harder to keep uprights, If would be good as a dirt path rider , very stable (as the yams are) but as soemthing for climbing up a muddy mountain , it wont happen.
While sitting IN the bike is good for on road , off road , it can be a burden , especially if the screen is particularly large. If the seating position is more upright but your leds arent bent much to get to the top or if the bike is too wide , that effects your handling in dirt since it is harder to maintain your balance while standing on the pegs.
For me , I'd go with the 660 in a hearbeat. 1200 is simply too big for serious off road bouts. Not only the size , but also the weight. That said , they do seem to have got the protection right which is a novelty with theirs psuedo-off road bikes.
I have done a bit of dirt riding on a XT 600 (the older ones) but thats my thoughts. It's just ... too big. Sorry yamaha :)

It's like a skipping record with you guys. Every single time a review of one of these adventure bikes is posted, the exact same people always pipe up about it being to big and heavy and therefor has no place in the cycle world. You know what? Go buy a fuckin' MX or enduro bike if you want to do serious off road riding with whoops and jumps and whatever.
If you want to ride for thousands of miles on the apshalt, gravel and dirt roads, go at least 300 miles between fill ups and carry a months worth of gear for camping, spare tires, spare fuel and water, etc.... then you buy one of these. This will take you places a plastic clad and cast wheeled street bike would fall apart on and go farther and more comfortably than a dirt bike with a seat like a board and revs to the moon at highway speed, needing a top end rebuild every 200 miles..
This friday, I'm taking my bloated pig on a 12,000 mile 24 day trip from Texas into Newfoundland, Labrador and into Nunivut, then through the backcountry of the Dakotas on the way home. About 3000 miles of my trip will be loose and deep gravel, about 1000 miles of dirt and the rest pavement. I'll be making good use of my 350 mile range and still be taking an extra 3 gallons of fuel, a bunch of camping gear, rations, tools and various clothing items. Try that on a CRF450 X or R. Even the XT 660 can't be as much of a pack mule. Fun bike though. Sadly unavailable in the US, just like the Africa Twin.
Been doing trips like this for 15 years now. Check out the advrider site and see how many riders use these bikes as intended. Quite a lot.

Remember it is not trying to be a dirt or enduro bike, it's trying to take you somewhere in reasonable comfort and has the ability to take you across some light gravel or packed terrain. In NZ (where I am) we call these dual purpose bikes, not Adventure bikes. Ride to work during the week, then throw a tent on the back at the weekend and then head off into the country 4/500k's in comfort with some light off road. If you want to take a bike like this through a forest or mud then agree "stupid is what stupid does".
As an Adventure rider I want a bike that can take me up some of the paths that I wouldn't do on a sports tourer, something a little taller so I can stand up in comfort and feel the balance of the bike on some packed mud or gravel paths. It's not designed for a Dakar type adventure or jumps. I agree weight is an issue off road but weight is also a positive cruising on the road. e.g. with side winds etc.. I personally opted for the Tenere 660 because it is a true Dual Purpose bike but does lack the power delivery on the road but reduced weight (still heavy) off the road.
But over all I like it...

Sorry, but if I was riding one-up, I would take a Wee-Strom, F800GS, etc over any of these 1,200cc beasts. The middle-weight twins have plenty of power and just as much comfort for riding all day on the freeway/motorway at 75 mph with a load of touring gear, and will be much easier if the going gets a bit rough and you have to pick the bike back up, work it through mud, etc.

The reanimated pathogenic-vectors (i.e. zombies) are the non-human antagonists in State of Decay. It isn't known what exactly created them, but it is assumably pandemic-related (due to the description of the Hazmat hero). The majority of the zombies varies widely across the decomposition spectrum and their behavior equally varies (sloths, walkers, runners, etc.). Some become mutated, taking distinctive appearances and characteristics; these special zombies are known as "Freaks".
The most efficient ways to kill the undead is to destroy the brain, whether it's bashing it in with a baseball bat or shooting them from a distance with a rifle. When their limbs are dismembered via edged weapons or gunfire, Zeds will ignore the pain and continue trudging towards the survivors, making dealing with the head the only realistic option to kill Zeds on foot.
When Zeds are repeatedly attacked (but not shot in the head), they may stumble and fall on their knees, or fall face down, making them vulnerable to execution attacks. However, if they are not dealt with quickly when they are most vulnerable, Zeds would quickly get back up again to chase the survivors.
Occasionally, a large number of zombies will gather in a random location, creating an Infestation.
Zombie HordeEdit
"Hordes" are herds consisting of 10-20 zombies that travel together as a hive-minded undead unit. These are extremely dangerous for both the player and the other survivors in Trumbull Valley.
In State of Decay a number of special zombie subtypes exist. Often called "Freaks", these zombies possess unique properties that regular zombies don't have.
Due to the stealth system in place in SoD, zombies rely on an "aggro system" to detect a survivor and/or playable character. Several functions affect detection. Such as line of sight, sound, lighting, movement and whether or not there is the presence of a player used distraction. Smell will not be taken into account in detection.
In larger affect is a Horde system, over time, base and outpost activity will cause zombies to spawn in the region around the base, if the problem is not dealt with, such as clearing out infestations, a horde will attack the base and attempt to destroy it.
To reduce lag and processes in the game, depending on the distance different animations and AI will take place, zombies beyond/out of player sight will have very simple AI with movement and detection in place. As the player comes into sight the AI will become more advanced, with a more advanced detection and movement system. Once in combat range of a player, the AI will be in its most advanced form, with all mechanics and animations in place.

For more than a century, thousands of people have been buried at Roselawn Cemetery in Pueblo, but a group of citizens says the tranquil cemetery is rapidly deteriorating."It's just very disheartening and very sad," said Lucille Corsentino. "We realize and understand its due to gopher infestation, but it's also complicated by lack of watering, lack of maintenance, overgrowth," she added.
Corsentino is with the group Concerned Citizens for Roselawn Cemetery. The group wants the non-profit cemetery to improve maintenance, eradicate gophers and restore the landscape. "We know that's a long range goal, we know it's a monumental task, but if we don't step forward now, our fear is that we will lose the cemetery," said Lucille Corsentino.
The group is also asking questions about Roselawn's finances. We're attempting to talk with managers at Roselawn to bring you balanced coverage of this story. We'll have more tonight on News 5.

Bidi Bondi is an ok place. I would not go out of your way to get here but if you are in the area and you are looking for a pint and hamburger I would give it a try. I tried the hamburger this weekend and it was good. The bar/restaurant reminds me of a place that has been around for a long time and it is time for them to change or refurbish the interior. It has that 'local' pub feel to it and I assume everyone that was in here probably lives within walking distant.
Please sign in to add a comment.
Excellent atmosphere and brilliant value for money - lunch and 4 drinks for 120 AED. Visited in August but will definitely go back when the weather cools down a bit for a swim and drinks :)
Stopped by Bidi's yesterday (Friday) to grab a burger as Bidi's is probably the best place to get a a quick burger on the Palm. I was shocked when I walked in. It was busy and there was no way I could get a table, so I opted to get take-out. 12 mins later I was walking out with my order. I asked why it was so busy and the bartender explained their 4 drink and a main deal for 119 dirhams. That's a good deal, no wonder it was so busy. This deal is Fri & sat 1pm-7pm.
I have not eaten here probably in 2 years because the last time I came here the food was just terrible so I stayed away. But I thought I would give them a try since it had been forever so I was shocked to see how much they have improved. I had the the beer battered onion rings which were definitely home made and not frozen, they were pretty good. Then I had the prawn ranch wrap which was very good. I think they also changed the decor a little because it definitely is cooler looking inside as well. Overall a huge improvement from the last time I visited so it has definitely earned another visit from me. Now if only they could fix the bar so your knees would fit under it.
Stopped in to Bidi Bondi for a few drinks on Thursday night. While it wasn't very busy, the live music was excellent. Very smoky and an older crowd but I thought it was a nice place to sit and have a drink and a chat. We weren't there at the right time, but they also have a great Fri/Sat deal – 4 drinks and a food item for 99Ds from 1-7p.
Just had lunch here and the food was great. The portions are large but then so are the prices. You will pay 70 aed for a burger (with salad, coleslaw and chips) so it's well worth it. Only issue I have is that the sodas are only "kiddie" size glasses for an adult price. Very relaxing lunch overall. Will be back.
How unhygienic is it to serve food on a wooden cutting board! It wasn't mine luckily because I would have returned it. Overall their food is ok but they have a sweet deal on Saturdays : 100aed for 4 drinks and food before 7pm.
Your average pub. Lots of trashy customers.
Being a Palm resident, I have been here a few times. The food is ok, the usual deep fried pub food, although a little on the expensive side for what you get. The drinks are reasonably priced for Dubai, although the happy hour is very good. We went there last time for the quiz night. It was an absolute shambles, the quizmaster seemed to be proud of her lack of knowledge on everything, she kept having to ask people to read out words with more than 2 syllables and just caused confusion amongst everyone. We left early, not bothering to see if we won a prize. Such a shame as we heard it used to be great before she took over.
I used to live next to this place on the Palm a few years ago and the food was nasty as hell! I am good friends with Chris, the manager for this place, and I told him that he needed to fire his cook and get a new one if he would like to see any increased revenue in his business.
Sure enough, about a year ago, he hired a new chef and the food now is a lot better. The beers are priced reasonably and so is the food. Now is the time to see this place to make your own review. If you went there a few years ago and hated it, I bet you would change your mind now.
Broke a diet to come to this place and eat a fish n chips and just watched table after table come, sit, eat and leave before we found out that our waiter never even placed our order and blamed it on the waitress he "passed our order on to". Finally got our order and the fish was horribly tasteless an it had to be absolutely drenched in lime to even have the slightest amount of flavor. The manager in the en came once we were eating and offers to comp our drinks, our one soda and one beer.horribl
Cool, relaxed little Aussie bar on the palm (shoreline apartments side) - outside seating and tables over look one of the pools there... interior is casual and sports themed, drinks reasonable prices with happy hour thursdays until 8.00pm - Food is ok with a mix of usual bar food - currys, fish and chips, wraps, burgers etc. not amazing but fine if you can't be a*sed to cook after work! Mixed crowd mainly western. Great if you live on the palm or nearby, but not somewhere you'd really choose to travel to from a distance.
Really nice chilled out beach bar/pub. Good food menu with some nice salads and healthy options along with the usual pub grub. Always a nice atmosphere but can get crowded when a big match is on. Good location and nice outside garden when the weather is good.
Been here a few times now and have always had a good time. Stopped by here on Friday afternoon in time for their friday deal which is 60aed for a main meal and 3 drinks between 12-5pm. Not bad at all. The menu for this deal is limited but is pretty varied. You can choose from breakfast/salad/burger/nachos and drinks can include coffee/beer/wine/juice. The place was packed out yet the service was amazing. One of my friends ordered a glass of wine and changed her mind after it had been brought to the table and the waitress happily took it back and changed it for a coffee. Another friend complained there was not enough salsa/sour cream on the nachos, the same waitress took the plate back in to the kitchen with the half eaten nachos and re-topped it with everything. Rare to see this kind of service and a smile whilst giving it anywhere in Dubai. Lisa the waitress needs to be given a pay rise!
Went here for quiz night the other night which was hosted by Geordiebird from the radio show. Was a really fun night. I ate here as well and was quite impressed with the food as my previous recollections of their meals was not great. I had a tuna salad and my friend had grilled chicken nmash. A lot of their meals are of the deep fried variety which is why I opted for the salad. Minor quibble - I had pavlova for dessert which was teeny tiny but clocked in at 45Aed! seriously! Good drinx deals tho
If you're not into watching sports definitely avoid this place when there's a major game on TV. The crowd is similar to Barasti and it gets pretty rowdy. The service is sooooo slow but I'm not sure why. How long does it take to make nachos? (which were gross btw) The manager was nice and let me use his phone charger. This place could be so much better as they have a great location.
As a place for drinks it's 3 stars. I havent tried the food in over a year. Last time I did try it, I would have given them negative stars
I'm going to give it another star, why I don't know I just guess I want to like it bc it's so close to the house. There was a pretty good crowd in here tonight though and they do have about 4 different types of Australian beers. Still not that good though. I'm so confused.
This place could be so good,great location and the only pub on the shore lone apartments...... But it's not. I live on the palm and I never go. Food is terrible also. It this place was just a little better,not much, I would go here a lot more. I not asking for much.

Transmedia storytelling
Transmedia storytelling (also known as transmedia narrative or multiplatform storytelling) is the technique of telling a single story or story experience across multiple platforms and formats using current digital technologies. It is not to be confused with traditional cross-platform media franchises,[1] sequels or adaptations.
From a production standpoint, it involves creating content[2] that engages an audience using various techniques to permeate their daily lives.[3] In order to achieve this engagement, a transmedia production will develop stories across multiple forms of media in order to deliver unique pieces of content in each channel. Importantly, these pieces of content are not only linked together (overtly or subtly), but are in narrative synchronization with each other.
By the 1970s and 1980s, pioneering artists of telematic art made experiments of collective narrative, mixing the ancestors of today's networks, and produced both visions and critical theories of what became transmedia. With the advent of mainstream Internet usage in the 1990s, numerous creators began to explore ways to tell stories and entertain audiences using new platforms. Many early examples took the form of what was to become known as alternate reality games (ARG), which took place in real-time with a mass audience. The term ARG was itself coined in 2001 to describe The Beast, a marketing campaign for the film A.I.: Artificial Intelligence. Some early works include, but are not limited to:
- Ong's Hat was most likely started sometime around 1993, and also included most of the aforementioned design principles. Ong's Hat also incorporated elements of legend tripping into its design, as chronicled in a scholarly work titled "Legend-Tripping Online: Supernatural Folklore and the Search for Ong's Hat".[4] Some scholars disagree on the classification of the Ong's Hat story, ARG versus Legend Tripping.
- Dreadnot,[5] an early example of an ARG-style project, was published on sfgate.com in 1996. This ARG included working voice mail phone numbers for characters, clues in the source code, character email addresses, off-site websites, and real locations in San Francisco.
- FreakyLinks (link to archived project at end of article), 2000
- The Blair Witch Project - feature film, 1999
- On Line - feature film, 2001
- The Beast - game, 2001
- Majestic - video game, 2001
Many franchises have adopted this method to further enhance their products. Pokémon is a prime example of this. The franchise spans several different media platforms from a card game to a TV series, with movies, action figures, stuffed animals, merchandise, electronics, and video games all in between. It is all encompassed by one universal story that the participant takes part in. With the transmedia storytelling they are able to fully immerse themselves in the narrative on several different levels.
Recently the Macaulay Honors College in New York, part of CUNY established a New Media Lab focusing on Transmedia Storytelling and content. The lab is under the direction of Robert Small an established filmmaker and television producer. The New Media Lab operates out of NYC.
Current State[edit]
As of 2011, both traditional and dedicated transmedia entertainment studios are beginning to embrace transmedia storytelling techniques in search of a new storytelling form that is native to networked digital content and communication channels. Developing technologies have enabled projects to now begin to include single-player experiences in addition to real-time multiplayer experiences such as alternate reality games. While the list of current and recent projects is too extensive to list here, some notable examples of transmedia storytelling include:
- Copiii: The First Entry, a transmedia project directed by Gustavo Cooper.
- Conspiracy 365, a transmedia/multiplatform experience for The Movie Network TV in Australia.
- Slide, a native transmedia experience for Fox8 TV in Australia.
- Dirty Work, an interactive web series by Fourth Wall Studios.
- Skins, a transmedia extension of the Channel 4/Company Pictures TV show by Somethin' Else in the UK.
- Cathy's Book, a transmedia novel by Sean Stewart and Jordan Weisman.

In 'Digital State: How the internet is changing everything' (2013), author Simon Pont argues that transmedia storytelling is a theory that is at last starting to find its practical stride. Pont cites Ridley Scott's Alien prequel Prometheus (2012), and specifically the three viral films produced by 20th Century Fox as part of the advance global marketing campaign, as vivid executional examples of transmedia storytelling theory.
Where Robert McKee (Story, 1998) argues that back-story is a waste of time (because if the back-story is so good then this is surely the story worth telling), Pont proposes that storytellers like J. J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof have "pretty much lined McKee's argument up against a wall and shot it".[6] Pont goes on to argue, "Parallel and non-linear timelines, 'multi-verses', grand narratives with crazy-rich character arcs, 'back-story' has become 'more story', the opportunity to add Byzantine layers of meaning and depth. You don't create a story world by stripping away, but by layering".
In 'Ball & Flint: transmedia in 90 seconds' (2013), Pont likens transmedia story-telling to "throwing a piece of flint at an old stone wall" and "delighting in the ricochet", making story something you can now "be hit by and cut by".[7]
Educational Uses[edit]
Transmedia storytelling mimics daily life, making it a strong constructivist pedagogical tool for educational uses [8] The level of engagement offered by transmedia storytelling is essential to the Me or Millennial Generation as no single media satisfy their curiosity or lifestyle.[9] Schools have been slow to adopt the emergence of this new culture which shifts the spotlight of literacy from being one of individual expression to one of community. Whether we see it or not, Jenkins notes that we live in a transmedia, globally connected world in which we use multiple platforms to connect and communicate.[8] Using Transmedia storytelling as a pedagogical tool, wherein students interact with platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Tumblr permits students' viewpoints, experiences, and resources to establish a shared collective intelligence that is enticing, engaging, and immersive, catching the millennial learners' attention, ensuring learners a stake in the experience.[10] Transmedia storytelling offers the educator the ability to lead students to think critically, identify with the material and gain knowledge, offering valuable framework for the constructivist educational pedagogy that supports student centered learning.[11] Transmedia storytelling allows for the interpretation of the story from the individual perspective, making way for personalized meaning-making.[8]
In 'The Better Mousetrap: Brand Invention in a Media Democracy' (2012), Pont explains, "Transmedia thinking anchors itself to the world of story, the ambition principally being one of how you can 'bring story to life' in different places, in a non-linear fashion. The marketing of motion pictures is the most obvious application, where transmedia maintains that there's a 'bigger picture opportunity' to punting a big picture. Transmedia theory, applied to a movie launch, is all about promoting the story, not the 'due date of a movie starring...' In an industry built on the conventions of 'stars sell movies', where their name sits above the film's title, transmedia thinking is anti-conventional and boldly purist." [12]

Harry Street (off Grafton Street), Dublin 2
In 2005, a life-size bronze statue of Phil Lynott was unveiled on Harry Street, off Grafton Street, Dublin.
Raised in the city in the 1960s, Phil Lynott is Dublin's most beloved musical son. The video for the song Old Town (This Boy is cracking up) was filmed at the Ha'penny Bridge. Referred to as Phil-O by most Dubliners.
Philip Parris "Phil" Lynott was a singer, bassist, musician, songwriter and poet who first came to prominence as the frontman of Thin Lizzy. He released two solo albums and also formed and fronted the band Grand Slam, right up until his death on 4 January 1986. He was 36 years old.

The Scene: This space is massive and it's super relaxed backstage. Everyone's excited for the show to start.

Hero Product: We caught sight of Helena Rubenstein lipstick in Nude Envy and it was love at first sight. This might just be the perfect nude and was created for the range by Charlotte Tilbury who told us that 'it was the only nude shade like it when I created it.' Sadly it's not available in the UK, but fear not, because Charlotte has created an almost identical version called Vintage Pink for her My Face Cosmetics brand.

He can't stop the music! After releasing a sweet, musical New Year's video with pal Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt caught the CORZO Sessions presented by nightlife impresario Jason Scoppa at the Sayers Club in Hollywood. The actor, who looked dapper in a festive tie, danced the night away, and when he wasn't busting moves, paid close attention from his front-row seat. But once the live house band started playing "Twist and Shout," Gordon-Levitt couldn't resist, and hopped up to sing along. – Jennifer Garcia

Sometimes all you can do is take the win and move on. The Mavs were at home Monday night against the Suns, winning 93-87 in an ugly game in front of a seemingly disinterested crowd.

AfterEllen.com 2007 Visibility Awards
WINNER: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi
The power couple is everywhere these days, from the Oscars
to the Daytime Emmy Awards to the
Trevor Project's annual fundraiser. Ellen increasingly mentions Portia on
her talk show, Portia references Ellen in her interviews, and you can see small
glimpses of their home life in some of Ellen's video blogs. They're quietly
out, but not out of control, and this lack of sensationalism helps to desensitize
America to lesbian relationships.
WINNER: Melissa Etheridge
Melissa has finally learned to stop
hiding behind her hair, and it shows. This year, the 46-year-old rock star
released her ninth album, The Awakening; collected an Oscar for her
song from the documentary An Inconvenient Truth; asked hard questions
of our Democratic presidential candidates at the Logo/HRC
Presidential Forum; and rocked for the environment at Live Earth. "I
think that because I've had cancer, I'm willing to be the crazy one," she
told us in September. "It's like, fine, if I have to lay down on the barbed
wire, I will, because it's that important to me and it's that simple to me."
WINNER: Tina Fey
As the creator and head writer of the brilliant comedy 30 Rock, Tina
Fey somehow manages to get a gay reference of some sort into almost every episode.
From hilarious throwaway lines like "You can't be gay for just one person,
unless you're a lady and you meet Ellen," to more serious comments about gay
marriage, to referencing gay partners in her Emmy acceptance speech this year,
she has consistently proven to be a good friend to the queer people. And mentioning
AfterEllen.com on The Late Show With Conan O'Brien had absolutely nothing
to do with her winning this category.
RUNNER-UP: Jon Stewart, The Daily Show
As we recently highlighted in our article on Jon
Stewart's Greatest Lesbian Moments, the host of Comedy Central's nightly
(fake) news show regularly includes LGBT issues in a humorous and subversive way, whether
it's taking on Bill O'Reilly's claim that Rosie O'Donnell
should have stayed in the closet, pointing out the absurdity of opposing gay
marriage, or chatting easily with guests like Ellen DeGeneres
and Lily Tomlin. And when he called Cynthia
Nixon "a boy band for ladies" two years before she came out, he
also proved he has good gaydar. Now that's our kind of straight man!
That's it for this year's AfterEllen.com Visibility Awards. Now let us know what shows, movies and people made your best and worst lists for 2007!

Linux 2.6.32 is to be maintained for 2 to 3 years within the stable series – the maintenance of 2.6.27, however, will probably soon be discontinued or at least downscaled considerably. The util-linux-ng tool collection now contains three additional programs; fdisk provides optimised partitioning. The configuration of X Server has become more flexible and now HAL is no longer needed.

Following five betas, two release candidates and a number of delays, the
Nearly five months after the release of the first beta, the Skype for Linux developers have announced the availability of the second beta for version 2.1 of their Linux Skype client. In November of last year we already reported that the Skype developers are working on a version of Skype for Linux.
Because mac.linux.be gets a lot of traffic lately, I would like to elaborate a bit on the statistics. In July of 2009 the website was rewritten completely in English using Drupal as the content management system. Ever since, the site got more and more traffic.

This Bulkhead Is Right Over My Face
Oct. 8-14
Then, two strips down, Luann's Greg Evans presents a title panel of Knute's head on a pig's body. The Stoner of Pitts School looks really, really happy with his new porcine self. A lesson for us all.
NEW WORLD ORDER DEP'T.: Week by week, strip by strip, the post-Sept. 11 consciousness continues to creep over the comics pages. Early adopters The Boondocks and Doonesbury keep on keeping up with the political end of things. And now Jump Start and Luann worry about life on the home front. In the former, Marcy sighs over old snapshots of the World Trade Center, and the cops on the beat encounter a more appreciative public. In the latter, Brad idly considers joining the Army, while Luann moons around discussing her fears with adult authority figures, like the exemplary teen she is.
Meanwhile, in Non Sequitur, Wiley's bid at an actual sequitur comes up non, in a Monday panel showing a man looking at towering twin rectangular leaf piles, with the caption "Autumn in New York." Huh? Half of Funny Paper thought they looked like twin topiary hedges. Not that hedges made sense either. Later in the week, Wiley also offers not one but two strips dedicated to the proposition that War Is Bad. Thanks for sharing, Wiley.
Then there are the strips that seem to be sniffing around the subject--literally, in the case of a regrettable Monday Hagar the Horrible. "That's just the way life is, Snert," Hagar says to his dog. "You get used to something and then suddenly it's gone." Nice . . . except what Snert is looking at, with a tear in his doggy eye, is a tree stump. He misses his pissing tree. On Saturday, the Browne factory goes after the Big Questions again, further establishing the strip's hopeless tone-deafness. Hamlet asks Hagar why kids have to fight over stuff. "If we could figure that out there wouldn't be any more wars!" says Hagar. Says Hagar the Horrible. Says Hagar the Horrible, the Viking marauder, scourge of the English coast.
KUDZU: Doug Marlette appears to be alluding to our earthly troubles too, with a Monday strip in which the Voice of God tells the kneeling Rev. Will B. Dunn, "Don't make me come down there!" Nice gag line, Marlette. Which is why it's been one of the centerpieces of a nationwide proselytizing billboard campaign (www.godspeaks.org) that was just written up in all your hometown North Carolina newspapers back in August. It's so catchy, the AP even used it as a headline on its local wire piece about the billboards. Hey, Doug, here's something else God said: "Thou shalt not steal." Or, in the Funny Paper translation, "Thou shalt not fucking plagiarize billboards, ye abominable hack."
THE PHANTOM: The Phantom gets on the submarine's intercom and harasses the "ghost pirates." The pirates decide he must be their missing shipmate Koll, trying to double-cross them. This amuses the Ghost Who Chuckles Ironically: "They think the pirate I impersonated is impersonating me!"
Sunday, Falk & Nolan present . . . the Origin of the Phantom!
FAMILY CIRCUS: Monday, Billy wants to be Lance Armstrong. "Mommy, how many times around the block would be the same as the Tour de France?" he asks. And what would it look like if you traced the route over and over with a dotted line?
Wednesday, the Keanes do one of their clumsy speech-balloon-and-caption dialogue jokes. "When Dolly was born," Mommy says, "we thought about giving her my name." "Oh no!" Jeffy pipes up. "Then we'd have a sister named Mommy." Hey, Jeffy, maybe you already do. Just like Faye Dunaway in Chinatown.
Saturday, things get spiritual. "Wow!" Dolly says, watching football on TV. "Think how many guardian angels are flyin' around in that stadium." Is this yet another terrorism reference? Because if it is, the Guardian Angel Theory took a helluva hit last month.
SALLY FORTH: Ted talks on his cell phone while driving. Sally and Ted talk about talking on cell phones while driving. All week long. Gab, gab, gab.
GASOLINE ALLEY: The Dick Tracy crossover murder-mystery plot thickens with the arrival of lawyer Krahs Yenrotta. "In my long career, I've met many characters whose names--when read backwards--form other names!" Tracy says. "Hmm! Could this be a clew?" He then proceeds to spell the name of the butler, "Chilblain," backwards. This is Jim Scancarelli's birthday tribute to the hawk-nosed detective? To make him a dunce? Who's Scancarelli to make fun of the wits of other strips' characters? Hey, Jim, meet Funny Paper's cousin. He's named Ycart Kcid Laer Eht Su Evig Tsuj--Yella Enilosag Pord S'tel Nus Eromitlab Yeh.
As the parlor investigation continues, Melba declines a cup of coffee, because "I never touches stimulatin' drink!" Good thing Joel and Rufus only drinks depressant.
DOONESBURY: Mike Doonesbury fears his Arab seatmate on a cross-country flight. "Relax, I'm just flying to Newark to visit my mother," the unshaven, head-wrapped man says, "I'm a Palm Pilot salesman from Tacoma." No negative stereotyping! Positive stereotyping!
Sunday, Garry Trudeau takes it to the old school of sledgehammer political cartooning, as talking cigarette Mr. Butts whoops it up in the Lincoln Bedroom. "What keeps my spirits up?" he says, reaching for the champagne. "Just knowing that the Bushies want to settle the federal suit against Big Tobacco." From next door come the sounds of "Mr. and Mrs. Big Oil" having a party of their own.
MARK TRAIL: Mark Trail paddles down Cloudy River, which is in a logging region. An old man named Matt Crawford talks to his dog Sarah. And talks and talks. "This is your favorite place to come every day, Sarah!" he says. Shouldn't the dog know that already? In a four-day, nine-panel, 170-odd-word monologue, he tells the dog the whole story of how he took the fall for his good-for-nothing son once, after the son stole the logging-camp payroll--and then how his wife and son left him while he was in the clink. Otters frolic, mallards fly, and he keeps on rambling. Poor Sarah-dog has to listen to the same damn thing every day.
Sunday's featured animal: the voracious and destructive coypu, "also called nutria." Also called "the other gray meat." We hear it "accepts seasoning very well."
LUANN: Young Mrs. Horner--who pretty much tells Luann that she's really Ms. Horner, and Luann has been bungling her name all along--talks about the Big Issues with her impressionable young friend. "Dear, I learned long ago that worry is the second most useless emotion," she says, fiddling with the teapot. "What's the first?" Luann asks. "Hate," Ms. H. says softly. Hate is the most useless emotion? Funny Paper always thought shame was the most useless emotion.
ONE BIG HAPPY: Ruthie gets her first royal straight flush, and wants her mom to put it in her baby book. Later, though, she reveals it "wasn't organic." "You mean, it wasn't a natural?" her father interprets. "Yeah. Fours, fives, and sixes were wild!"
Sunday, Rick Detorie gives us a pun-filled, child-style illustrated report "by Joe the Great GENIUS." Not unlike the Father's Day work of Billy, the great NONGENIUS. That's two straight Sundays that One Big Happy has stooped to within smelling range of Family Circus.
CLASSIC PEANUTS: Peppermint Patty camps out in Snoopy's doghouse (which she takes for the "guest cottage") and gets her mail forwarded to the Brown house. "Motorcycle News . . . ," Charlie Brown says, digging through the mailbox, "Football Stories . . . Wrestling Annual . . . Fishing Guide . . . Glider News . . . Mountain Climbing Dispatch . . . Dirt-Bike Report . . ." How can a voracious reader of Mountain Climbing Dispatch do so badly in school?
ZIGGY: Gas in Ziggy World is $2.35 a gallon. "I never feel anything as wrong as road rage . . . ," the mild one says. "But when I look at the price of gasoline I come pretty close!"
DENNIS THE MENACE: "I bet Eskimo kids have to warm their PJs in the microwave," Dennis says. Now there's a Family Circus we'd like to see!
ZIPPY: Zippy talks to a giant rabbit-headed man, a giant Paul Bunyan, and a hot-dog stand shaped like a giant hot dog.
THE LOCKHORNS: Loretta's piano playing gives Leroy "Bach pains." Funny Paper has "Bunny Hoest pains."
B.C.: Cute Chick has swollen lips, without surgery. "I just walked up to Fats and called her Lardo," she says. So "Fat Broad" is OK, but "Lardo" is an insult?
DILBERT: The boss tells Carol to tell callers he's in a meeting; since he's clutching a newspaper, Funny Paper assumes he's heading for the can. Pissed off at the "vague instructions," she says he's at a "Morons Anonymous" meeting. "The whole thing usually ends with a shoe-sniffing contest," she says. Good one, "shoe-sniffing contest."
NON SEQUITUR: Not even the deft presspersons at The Sun can compensate for the rampant amateurism of Wiley Miller's Sunday offering. All the other color funnies print fine, but Non Sequitur looks like it sat out in the rain for a week before it went to press, thanks to Wiley's aversion to using black ink. What, were color pencils on clearance at Office Depot? If there'd been some black in the cartoon, maybe we could have read the anti-arithmetic note that gloomy girl Danae wrote on the chalkboard. Though somehow we doubt it would have enhanced the experience all that much.
GARFIELD: The dieting Garfield hallucinates about junk food. Then he gets pissy about the food he has. "Celery!" he snarls. "If science could find a use for it, we wouldn't have to eat it to get rid of it." Yeah, that fucking useless celery! Can't do anything with it! Except slice it up and stir-fry it with pork. Or chop it into a mirepoix and make a rich French soup. Or stuff a chicken with it. Garfield: food humor for people who eat out of cellophane bags.
REX MORGAN, M.D.: June goes looking for killer mold, wisely deciding to crawl through a basement window rather than get the sleepy Chef Tito to unlock the door. As she clambers down, she falls through the top of an old shipping crate, in a classic Graham Nolan action sequence. What a disaster! But how had she been planning to get back out of the basement, anyway? Meanwhile, Chuck Franks, hoping to distract Wendi Carol while the basement floods, tries an improbable mack routine on her. Good move, androgyny boy, making a pass at an Amazon twice your size. "You didn't bring me up here to talk about an art commission!" she snaps. "And it wasn't to hit on me either! What are you up to, Chuck?" The plot thickens! By Sunday, Nolan is in full Gothic graphic-novel mode, with June trapped inside the crate, semiconscious, as the water rises around her.
FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE: April eventually figures out she was supposed to find the reproductive-biology book. For worse!
APARTMENT 3-G: The girls keep sailing for the Bahamas. Margo keeps bitching about the accommodations on the boat. "This bulkhead is right over my face," she whines on Sunday.
CURTIS: Curtis photocopies his butt, scans it, and uploads it to the school system's computers. Since when do deprived inner-city schools have that kind of computer power? Heck, when did they switch to photocopiers from mimeographs? Maybe Curtis mimeographed his butt. Or carbon-papered it.
MARY WORTH: Woody "Don't Call Me Forrest" Hills notes that Ian, "the curmudgeon of Center Hall," is a bundle of trite professorial affectations.
BEETLE BAILEY: Lt. Fuzz tells Sarge of his lifelong quest to be a top desk jockey.
PRINCE VALIANT: Prince Valiant encourages his men to ply their useful trades, to gain influence among the troops and laborers in Emperor Justinian's joint expedition with the barbaric Rus. Galan will do the doctoring, Gawain will care for the horses, Arn will do some blacksmithing, and Mr. Brave himself will navigate by the stars. It's the Camelot Vo-Tech Class of '01. 501, that is.
CATHY: Cathy, immune to current events, goes purse shopping. "I even buy my purses two sizes too small," she brags.

What a Shock: Casinos Want More
Next, at 11: The State House authorizes cigarette companies to promote their products in high schools. State Representatives say that the move is necessary to increase revenue from Cigarette taxes.
A top Democrat will introduce legislation early next year that could legalize poker, blackjack and other table games in the state's new casinos, legislative staffers said yesterday.
Just two weeks after the first slots parlor opened in Pennsylvania, and surprising even Democratic allies, State Rep. Bill DeWeese (D., Greene), the House minority leader, acknowledged that he was drafting a bill that could turn the state's planned slots parlors into full-fledged casinos.
The goal of the bill would be to have all 14 licensees become eligible for table games to ward off competition from surrounding states, such as West Virginia, which are considering expanding from slot machines to full casino gambling.
"It used to be that slots made up 85 percent of [a casino's] business. But that's no longer the case anymore," Manzo said. "We can generate significantly more dollars for property taxes."
I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
So, let's recap- last week, the State House passed a bill that would amend the PA liquor law to allow Casinos to give gamblers as much free alcohol as they want. These Casinos are largely supposed to be for commuters, right? (Remember the argument for something like Trump is that people from the W. suburbs will come.) So, now, in a place that doesn't pretend to have hotel rooms, etc, the State House wants to make it legal to get the gamblers nice and plowed. They get drunk, they lose more money, and hey, if they contribute to increasing the number of deaths from drunken driving, well too bad! Show us the money!
Now, we get Bill DeWeese, our soon to be Majority Leader, telling us that for revenue sake, we have to put in full casinos, not just slots. What. A. Surprise. At this point, I don't particularly give two shits what games they have in the Casino. What I care about is the total dishonesty that has been a part of the process from the beginning. They knew that they were going to expand from slots, despite denials. But despite that, they simply kept on lying through their teeth on behalf of one of the more repugnant industries there are.
Casinos are not the answer. They extract wealth, not create it.
The more casinos, the more poverty.
Casinos benefit the owner operators more than the city or state citizens. It saddens me that we continue to impoverish this country. Philadelphia will become poorer.
There is a reason why Donald Trump wants you to play in the casino. Funny, you will never seem him play or his wife, nor his kids either. But he wants you and your family to play.
Study money and I guarantee, you will never step inside a casino again.
("Donald, start creating wealth for society, rather than taking it. You talk about God in one of your books, yet I wonder if God would be happy, about you building another casino?")
Bye RoyLS.
Roy M. Philip, Philosopher from Philadelphia
Author of "Don't Get Hustled: On a Higher Level"
I know everyone's hyped about 2007...
...but this is a good example of how few resources progressives have to spread around. We need to elect better city government, but we really need to also set up a system of constituent accountability that will stop our newly-minted Democratic majority from doing dumb shit like this.
Dan's right that this not a shock, but it is damn bold to make this move so fast. And leaving aside the moral implications, there's just no evidence that suggests that full-fledged casinos help cities and/or the state make net revenue gains.
quick update
Fast Eddie will veto it.
But, the idea that as we might be taking over- this of all things is what our Democratic leader is focused on, is a little bizarre.
And don't forget transit funding
In case you didn't see my post in another thread, the House Democratic Leadership is saying privately that they will not support tax increases...so that their new members aren't defeated in 2008 by casting an unpopular vote.
No tax increases means no dedicated funding for transit.
No dedicated funding for transit means massive fare increases and service cuts and SEPTA heading into a death spiral of declining riders and declining revenues.
The Transit Coalition will, I'm sure, be active in pushing Speaker DeWeese to change his tune. In the meantime, tell those new representatives you elected that we worked for them to solve problesm not duck them.
Sales Tax
I thought I read something yesterday that said DeWeese was supporting an increase in the sales tax to cut property taxes? Does anyone know anything about this?

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Monday, December 27, 2010
Nearly half a million people are injured every year in crashes blamed on distracted drivers.
Kansas is doing its best to lower those numbers, putting the hammer down on people who text while driving.
It is one of many distractions getting in the way of safe travels for drivers.
As of the new year, Kansas drivers who text while behind-the-wheel will be ticketed.
"That's either reading a text, typing a text, or anything of that nature, other than dialing the telephone," said Lt. Roger Baughman,
Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper.
Studies show drivers who are texting are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash.
"Your eyes have to look at it in most instances to type that message, and once you take your eyes off the roadway, things can happen in minute seconds that will cause you to be in a wreck," said Lt. Baughman.
The new change allows officers to issue a ticket when they observe a driver texting while driving, stopped at a red light, or stopped at a stop sign.
"If we can't really tell you're doing the texting part, but you're doing the weaving and stuff, then, we can enforce maintaining to stay in a lane, or whatever the violation is," said Lt. Baughman.
The violation will cost you a text message, and a fine.
In Sedgwick County, the fine for texting while driving is $60, plus $95.50 for court costs. Even if you have an unlimited plan, texting while driving could cost you $155.50.
Thirty states have banned texting while driving.

The Panthers offense scored on every possession except for one with quarterback Ryan Bohnet finishing with 306 yards and three touchdown passes. He also had a rushing touchdown in the second half.
"Well whoever had us this week was going to be in for a bad one because the guys were licking wounds all week," Benicia head coach Craig Holden said.
Benicia (5-1, 1-0) missed scoring on the first play of the game when Drae Randolph took the opening kickoff 85 yards for the touchdown only to have it negated by a block in the back. It didn't matter in the end because Bohnet came out firing.
He completed three straight passes to Joseph Beverly, De Mariae Richardson and Sam Maday for a total of 40 yards. Anthony Guidry capped the drive with a 23-yard scoring run to make it 7-0.
A Fairfield three-and-out set up Benicia's next scoring drive. The key play was a 47-yard completion to James Hyde Jr. to put the Panthers at the Falcons' two-yard line. Jared Clemens capped the drive with a seven yard touchdown run for a 14-0 lead.
Bohnet's first touchdown pass came with two minutes left in the quarter on a short pass play to Hyde Jr. that turned into an 87-yard touchdown. Benicia led 21-0 before the first quarter was over.
"I just tried to get open for Ryan because I know he looks for me a lot.
Fairfields longest drive opened the second quarter. The Falcons crossed into Benicia territory on a short run by Eric Clark then two plays later quarterback Michael Arredondo hit John Garrott on a 24-yard pass play to set Fairfield up at the Panthers 17-yard line. The Falcons' drive stalled after three straight incompletions by Arredondo.
Benicia's next drive lasted all of two plays. Bohnet hit Guidry for a 22-yard completion, then Clemons took a swing pass from Bohnet and raced 63 yards for another Panthers touchdown to make it 28-0
Clemens finished with 105 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns while Hyde Jr. had five catches for 162 yards and a touchdown.
Hyde Jr. keyed the Panthers' final scoring drive of the half with a 46-yard pitch and-catch from Bohnet to set up first-and-goal at the Fairfield one-yard line. Bohnet capped the drive with a touchdown pass to Joey DeSeve for a 35-0 lead.
The Panthers' final touchdown came in the third quarter on Bohnet's 14-yard scamper into the end zone for his fourth touchdown of the night.
"It was definitely a good performance all the way around," Holden said. "I can't think of somebody who didn't have a good performance. No matter what I called it worked. Credit to them for all the hard work."
