Newport Beach police arrested a 24-year-old Santa Ana man Monday afternoon on suspicion of disorderly conduct while intoxicated and drinking in public at East Coast Highway and Marguerite Avenue, a report said. His bail was $500.
Police also took a report of a lost access card on Monday in the 600 block of Newport Center Drive. The loss occurred between 5:20 and 5:30 p.m. Nov. 12. Officers also took a report of a petty theft from a motor vehicle on Monday in the 300 block of San Miguel Drive. The theft occurred between 7:30 and 7:45 a.m., and no loss was listed on a report.
The Newport-Mesa Unified School boardroom was standing room only Tuesday night, with dozens of parents and neighbors of Corona del Mar High School ready to share their thoughts on a proposed new sports complex on the school's Eastbluff campus.
After listening to about an hour of public comments, the board agreed to have staff develop a concrete proposal for the project, including any privately funded additions, and bring that back to them at a Dec. 9 meeting for a vote.
The board already approved $7.4 million in funding from a one-time windfall to replace the outdated facility with an all-weather, artificial track field and 1,000 new seats. The also approved field improvements for Newport Harbor High School and Costa Mesa High School, and those projects are underway.
But residents' complaints about the CdMHS project caused it to be tabled earlier this year.
On Tuesday, 15 people spoke in support of the project and eight spoke against. The audience applauded each speaker, and the mood was civil.
Several speakers said they were concerned about poor field conditions that have contributed to injuries, including rolled ankles and broken legs.
Varsity lacrosse player Emily Schwartz, who wore a leg brace and used crutches to approach the podium, said the fields were crammed, and that injuries were a serious concern.
"We have more than we would like," she said.
"Our student athletes are playing in conditions that are beyond sub-par," said Bryan Middleton, the school's girls soccer coach. "I've had girls with scholarship opportunities who are rolling their ankles on our fields.
But Denise Lambe, who lives on Aralia Street near the school, said the project would decrease the already bad quality of life that residents have because of the school.
"I can't get out of my area," she said. "I hear the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag at 9 a.m., and the water polo kids in the afternoon. There's trash and speeding and disrespect. Why are so many houses for sale in the Bluffs? People are running away."
Arnie Blakely, another resident, said the school was 52 years old and was already excellent.
"What is the real need for a stadium?" he asked. "Will it make students smarter?"
A few residents, however, said they weren't bothered by the noise and traffic associated with living near a high school.
Cory Alder, a CdMHS graduate whose three children also graduated from the school, said he lives every day with the traffic.
"It's not that bad," he said. "I can make some accommodations for the kids in our community. Close your window, turn on some music, go to dinner. Better yet, get out to the game and experience it. It's invigorating."
The board's decision on Tuesday night did not require a vote because they were only directing staff to come back with a specific plan on Dec. 9, when they will decide how to proceed.
Deputy Superintendent Paul Reed said staff would work with cross country and track coach Bill Sumner and others who wish to expand on the project, perhaps by including lighting, a snack bar and restrooms.
"It's their dollars," he said. "They get to decide what they want to propose."
The group would have to agree to have funds raised by specific timeframes for three stages — initial planning, construction documents and construction. Then, he said, the board could decide whether to accept the amended project or keep it as originally budgeted and proposed.
Board president Karen Yelsey said she'd received about 50 emails from parents in support of the project. She also praised Principal Kathy Scott for working with students and residents to alleviate concerns about students parking off campus and littering.

The City of Newport Beach's coastal development permit for charcoal-only fire rings is on hold, a city spokeswoman confirmed today.
"It's on hold because we likely won't pursue the current application until getting further direction from the next City Council," said Tara Finnigan in an email.
In December, four new City Council members will be sworn in: Scott Peotter, Diane Dixon, Marshall "Duffy" Duffield and
Kevin Muldoon. Current Council members Mike Henn, Leslie Daigle and Nancy Gardner will term out, and Mayor Rush Hill lost to Duffield.
During their campaigns, Muldoon, Duffield and Peotter said they supported wood-burning fire rings. And current Councilman Tony Petros was not on the Council when it voted to remove the rings, although he did support a charcoal-only option; read our story here.
Newport Beach implemented the charcoal-only rule in March in order to comply with South Coast Air Quality Management District rule amendments on beach fire rings, but city staff agreed to work with the Coastal Commission staff on obtaining a permit for the program. The City submitted its 50-page application on July 17; read our story here.
In August, however, the Coastal Commission staff sent a three-page letter to the city, requesting more information including data on air quality and health impacts from charcoal smoke, whether data had been gathered about how fire ring users' experience with charcoal compared to wood, charcoal availability and the dates of the proposed pilot program; read our earlier story here.
In October, city staff said they hoped to have the application complete and resubmitted by mid-October. A Coastal Commission staff member confirmed that no new information had been submitted, and that the application had not been withdrawn.
The new Council members will be sworn in at the Council's only meeting in December on Dec. 9. That meeting typically is ceremonial, with goodbyes to outgoing members, placing new members on the dais and electing a mayor and mayor pro tem. New business will likely wait until a meeting in January.
An Orange County Sheriff's Department sting operation at the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach this week resulted in two arrests, according to a department news release.
The undercover "court sting" took place Monday, when deputies staked out offenders who had been old not to drive, the release said.
"Eight offenders were followed by deputies from courtrooms to their vehicles to ensure that they were not driving," the release said. "While some offenders complied with the law and had alternate means of transportation, two individuals in court for DUI proceeded to get behind the wheel and drove away from the courthouse."
Deputies waiting nearby stopped the two drivers near the courthouse, and both drivers received misdemeanor traffic citations for driving on a suspended license. Their vehicles also were impounded for 30 days.
"DUI Court Sting stakeout operations, along with regularly scheduled high visibility DUI enforcement, serve as a proven deterrent with the goal of keeping impaired drivers from the road and heightening awareness among the public of the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol," the release said. The operation was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Newport Beach City Councilman-elect Scott Peotter has nothing against rabbits — but the bunny statues in the Civic Center park are symbols of wastefulness and have to go, he said in an interview this week.
"We've just got to get rid of the bunnies," he said. "I would like to find a very good adoptive home for the bunnies."
Peotter, who will be sworn in as Corona del Mar's Council representative at a December meeting, made the bunnies a campaign issue, even creating a YouTube commercial that shows one of the rabbit's head being digitally blown off.
"It certainly is a very symbolic thing," he said.
The 16 rabbit sculptures cost about $13,800 per rabbit, or about $221,000, according to a city webpage. The price included grading, placement, design, manufacturing, painting and anti-graffiti protection. The project's budget for children's play element was $225,000, and other climbable sculptures that were considered, including giant sea turtles and spider webs, were rejected because of cost and durability concerns. (Read our earlier stories about the bunnies here and here.) Two of the bunnies are 8 feet tall, and 14 others are smaller and placed facing inward in a ring. The bunnies are white with different colored, pastel-shaded eyes.
Peotter has criticized the cost of the entire Civic Center project, calling the building Taj-Ma-City-Hall, and calling for more transparency in city government.
The rabbits, he said, should be removed from the complex as a sign of respect to taxpayers — and not at the taxpayers' expense. Private funds should be used to move them, or they could be given away to an organization that would pay all moving fees.
He plans to ask the Council to place the topic on a future agenda, perhaps requesting that the city's Arts Commission to explore various possibilities.
"I want to do it right away," he said. "Maybe at the first meeting in January, I'll do that."
Private funds could be used to move the bunnies to other city parks, he said, or they could be auctioned or donated to Children's Hospital of Orange County or an animal shelter. There's also been interest in the bunnies from agencies outside the area, who found out about Peotter's goal on his campaign Facebook page.
"We would very much love to have one or two of the bunnies to display on our property," said Margo DeMello, president of the House Rabbit Society, the world's largest rabbit rescue and educational organization.
"We operate a rescue and adoption facility in Richmond, California," she said in an email. The organization also has chapters and volunteers nationwide and in countries including Japan, Greece and Australia.
"Our volunteers, and the staff who run our shelter in California, rescue homeless rabbits from municipal shelters, rehabilitate them, and adopt them out as indoor household companions, and we educate the public on compassionate, humane, house rabbit care," she said.
Ross Holly, of Friendly Farms in Monterey County, also left a Facebook post inquiring about the rabbits.
"I saw your request for re-homing the NB bunnies and I would like to request (if possible) one or two for our Rabbit Rescue / Small Animal sanctuary…" he posted. "Please let me know if this is a legitimate offer." In a private message, Holly said he was corresponding with Peotter and would continue to follow the issue when it moves onto a City Council agenda.
Peotter said he's received emails and messages from residents who said they and their children love the bunnies, but plenty of messages from others who agree with him.
"I have to learn the ropes, learn what kind of staff time would be involved in this," he said. "The taxpayers have already been injured enough. It's clear that it would only happen if we could do it in a way that taxpayers don't have to pay to get rid of them."
Peotter said he didn't know if there was a requirement to have a play structure installed to replace the bunnies, and that also would be something to consider as the issue evolves.
A City spokeswoman declined to speculate on what might happen to the bunnies.

A 46-year-old Santa Ana man was arrested at 2:25 p.m. Friday in the 600 block of Orchid Avenue on suspicion of residential burglary without forced entry as well as receiving stolen property. His bail was $50,000, a report said.
The burglary had occurred in the same location, police said, and cash was taken. The victim knew the suspect, whose occupation was listed as housecleaner on a police report.
Police also arrested a 22-year-old Corona man at 11:52 a.m. Friday at Ocean Boulevard and Fernleaf avenue on suspicion of possession of unlawful paraphernalia and driving with a suspended or revoked license. His bail was $500.
A 59-year-old Costa Mesa man was arrested at 2:11 a.m. Friday at East Coast Highway and Jasmine Avenue on suspicion of DUI and DUI with a prior; his bail was $2,500. Police also took a report of taking an auto without the owners consent on Nov. 12. The incident occurred in the 800 block of Avocado Avenue between 3 and 8:10 p.m.
Officers took a report of grand theft auto on Nov. 12 in the 3200 block of East Coast Highway. The theft occurred at 8:03 a.m., a report said. Officers took a report of an obscenity or threat in the 1400 block of Newport Center Drive on Thursday. The incident occurred between 9:47 p.m. Oct. 25 and midnight Thursday. Police also took a report of a petty theft from buildings in the 100 block of Newport Center Drive on Sunday. The theft, with a loss of $310 occurred between 3 and 6 p.m. Sunday, a report said.
A Corona del Mar High School athletic field improvement project, which was tabled after noisy and angry complaints from residents near the school, will go back to the Newport-Mesa Unified School District's board at the group's Tuesday meeting.
The board already approved $7.4 million in funding for the project, along with $8.5 million in funding to renovate Davidson Field at Newport Harbor High School, about $700,000 to improve the Corona del Mar High School aquatics locker room, $7.4 million to renovate the Costa Mesa High School athletic field and $1 million dedicated to future planning of an aquatics complex at Estancia High School. The funds, allocated in 2013, were a "fortuitous windfall of one-time funding coming to the District as a result of the State's dissolution of all redevelopment agencies," according to a report included in the Tuesday meeting agenda.
The Corona del Mar High School aquatics locker room project is complete, and progress is underway on the other two high school's fields, the report said. The CdMHS project stalled earlier this year.
The CdMHS project would add an all-weather track and field and seating for up to 1,000 spectators.
"At the same time, it was recognized that a group effort led by CdM Coach Bill Sumner was focused on enlarging the project scope and raising private donations for that purpose," the report states. "The Board of Education indicated that it would entertain proposals to add to the Board's approved scope, but no further action was taken…Initial informational meetings with the Corona del Mar community during the Spring of 2014, however, suggested that greater time needed to be allowed to take input and attempt to resolve collateral issues of existing parking, traffic flow and the completion of the Enclave and Theater projects on the CdM campus which would, once completed, improve both. Accordingly, no further planning for the Project has been effected as of this time."
The district organized two community meetings in February and March, where residents angrily denounced the plans. At one meeting, neighbors jeered a student who was trying to express student support for the project. Read our earlier stories here and here.
Residents expressed concerns about existing traffic near the school, noise and trash and whether the new project would make those problems worse while adding light pollution and lowering property values.
The board's meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in the board room of the District Education Center at 2985-A Bear Street in Costa Mesa. The public may attend, and there are opportunities to make comments.
The CdMHS PTA sent an email blast on Sunday to members, urging them to attend the meeting to show support of the project.
"We need your voice, we need your help!" the email said. "Please attend the meeting at the district office in support of improving our campus."

It is great that Friday is upon us, but for some the last day of the workweek can be a struggle. While you might be ready to mail it in around lunchtime, log on to DJBooth and peruse the site for hours, you know that there is still work to be done. Should you find your self-struggling to make it, we suggest that you turn the volume up to 11 and blast In Pursuit, a newly-released loosie from Yo Dot. If his tangible passion and razor-sharp, hungry flow don't inspire you then perhaps his lyrical performance will? The Milwaukee native marvels at all he has accomplished and, although the odds were stacked against him, his ability to never give up; if that doesn't get you ready to finish work, you might as well clock out now. After listening if you are In Pursuit of more from Yo Dot, his Booth-hosted album, Sherman Park Memoirs, was released last month and is available free of charge.

Tracking Saudi's surfers
The Saudi government has ordered all internet cafés in the kingdom to install hidden cameras, and to shut up shop by midnight.
April 16, 2009 2:08 by Aarti Nagraj
Saudi's Ministry of Interior has made it mandatory for internet cafés in the kingdom to install hidden cameras, and to supply a record of names and identities of their customers, reports the Jeddah-based Saudi Gazette.
According to the regulations, those under 18 years of age will not be allowed into the cafés, which also have to close by midnight. The report also states that a Saudi national must be employed in the café, and that all phone lines must be in the name of the licensed café rather than in the owner's, or anybody else's, name.
Police have started doing their rounds to issue the rules, says the paper.
Such rules are not new, however. In 2003, Saudi imposed similar policies: all internet café customers had to surrender their ID cards, so that their names and ID numbers could be written down by café owners; users under 18 were not allowed to access the café, unless they were computer science students or were accompanied by their guardians; and users had to be "guided to use the internet in a positive manner, consistent with Islamic teachings and government laws."
The government also informed internet café owners to warn users that if they violated the rules, they would be fined or even imprisoned.
Earlier this month, authorities in Tabuk, a province in Saudi, shut down an internet café for downloading pornographic material as a pay-per-view service for customers.
And in 2000, officials in Mecca also shut down a women-only internet café for reasons of "public morality." The café, near Mecca University, was closed after a complaint was filed in court alleging that it had been used for "immoral purposes," reported Arab News. "What was uncovered was against both our religion and our traditions," Brigadier Yousuf Matter of the Civil Police said at the time, without providing any more details.
Internet usage is already heavily censored in the kingdom; sites dealing with porn, dating, gambling, alcohol, drugs, and homosexuality are all banned. So there is a question over why the Saudi government feels it needs to make the rules even stricter. And if they have details of all the users, why do they need hidden cameras? Such rules will surely prompt more people to get internet access at home, and reduce the number of people visiting internet cafés.

High rise
Though I dip my toes into seasonal trends from time to time I always come back to the classics, and a jeans+shirt combo, has pretty much turned out to be my uniform lately. After searching high and low after a pair of high waisted skinny jeans (I just couldn't wait for Saint Laurent's one's to drop in stores), I was thrilled to come across these specimen with the perfect vintage wash. Forget about low or mid-rise, it's all about high rise in times to come, are you in or out?

Summer brogues
Loving these white non-laced by Hudson for Charlie May, the perfect minimal addition this summer if you tire of them slides at some point. Not too bad either price-point-wise, yours for £140 and you'll find them on charlie-may.co.uk.
Being a girl knowing what I like I never step too far outside my shade'y comfort zone and always tend to go for the same styles and colours. This mirrored pair by Saint Laurent ticks all the boxes and could very possible be my next sunny friends, yum!
Happy Monday morning world!
I don't know for the rest of you, but in London we're still clinging on to our coats, thank god we've been piling up in the winter to keep us going through this long spring. This white specimen for instance, kept me warm between sunny glimpses, heavy showers and chilly winds this weekend, the perfect throw on!

Vogue UK June 2014, Ashleigh Good and Andreea Diaconu
Time for some summery editorial inspiration, especially since we seem to be stuck with our chilly 15 degrees at the moment. If you haven't seen it already then Vogue UK June issue styled by Clare Richardson, and lensed by josh Olins, offers one of the most beautiful and idyllic spreads I've come across lately. Please give us a holiday with the girls on the countryside along with a suitcase of stripped down beige, khaki and chilling white pieces, anyone?
Fiya Bijoux
Who doesn't love delicate, fine jewellery with an edge where diamonds are involved? Well, you can certainly sign me up, and after seeing these Fiya pieces on some of my friends wrists and fingers there's another brand lusting after. Yours for a modest £1,625 and you can find it here.
What's on my mind these days sartorial speaking? Trousers of all varieties, culottes, wide legged, flared, high waisted, you name it. I wish we' could have moved on to sheer and more leg flashing items at this point, but the springy temperatures seem to have slowed down a little lately, and there's not much more to do than keeping them pins covered up a little longer.
Happy Weekend you lovely ones!

Christian Dior Resort 2015
Resort 2015 season has kicked off in NY and I'm feeling inspired and dreaming about these fantastic classy, black, sleek and draped looks by Raf Simmons for Dior, note the shoes, yum!
Cire Trudon
Favourite scented candles right now, Odeurs Royales by Cire Trudon, not only do they smell heavenly but they come in the most gorgeous packaging as well. Next scents to get on my side come in a 3-pack, Trianon, La Marquise and Solix Rex, yours for £105, and you'll find it here.
Never say never…
I never say never, having that said, never did I think something polka dotted would find it's way into my wardrobe either, and now it has, in the shape of a silk shirt with a bow(!). Polka dots really never was my thing, always found it quite repellent, but luckily things have the ability to grow on us, otherwise we would get completely stuck.
That goes for the backpack too, my newfound love that will be hanging on my shoulder pretty much the days ahead, roomy and practical, why did I forget that after my days in school?

Lead exposure in young children can cause reduced IQ and
attention span, learning
disabilities, developmental delays, and a range of other health and
behavioral effects. Most exposures
occur in homes or daycares built before 1978 from chipping and
peeling lead-based paint and the lead-tainted dust it creates or
where lead
hazards have been created through renovation done
without using lead-safe work practices.
Prevention of lead poisoning can be
accomplished by eliminating
lead-based paint hazards before children are exposed.
Wisconsin's goal is to eliminate this disease
by making Wisconsin's housing lead-safe, and by improving the
detection and treatment of lead poisoning in children.
State, Nation and World Observe Lead Poisoning
Prevention Week
Governor Scott Walker proclaims October 19 – 25,
2014 to be Wisconsin Childhood Lead Poisoning
Prevention Week.
From the proclamation:
"... childhood lead
poisoning has affected more than 17,000 Wisconsin
children under age six in the last three years
putting these children at risk for lifelong effects
that include brain damage, emotional impairment,
failure in school and increased risk of criminal
activity." "Wisconsin partners work together
to prevent childhood lead poisoning by educating
families and the community about lead poisoning,
testing pre-school-aged children and eliminating
lead hazards in housing."
Lead Poisoning Prevention Week provides an opportunity to educate the public
on how to prevent this damaging disease. The theme for the
week is "Lead-Free Kids for a Healthy Future" and
the message to parents is: Get Your Home Tested.

Contractor Certification and Licensing Information
Previously, a child's blood lead level (BLL) of 10 micrograms per deciliter
(mcg/dL) was considered in need of intervention. In May 2012, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) concurred with its
committee's recommendation to lower that level to 5 mcg/dL
(PDF, 281 KB). The recommendation was made due to the
overwhelming evidence that lead exposure at levels below 10mcg/dL cause
damage to the cognitive, cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune systems.
The advisory committee also recommended that CDC
change its guidelines so that interventions previously identified for a BLL
of 10mcg/dL or greater go into effect at the new intervention level of 5 mcg/dL. CDC recommends
the following interventions for a child with a BLL of 5mcg/dL or
Confirm a capillary blood lead test with a venous draw within 1 to 3 months.
Have child tested on the appropriate
follow-up testing schedule.
Get a complete history and physical exam on
the child.
Order the appropriate laboratory tests on
the child such as tests for low iron or anemia.
Monitor the child's growth and development,
especially as the child
ages and enters school.
Provide education to the family on the
sources of lead and how to reduce any lead hazards found.
From 2011 to 2013, this change increased the number of Wisconsin
children considered at risk for cognitive deficits and
other lifelong health problems by a factor of five. The new value means that more children
will be identified as having lead exposure earlier, so that parents,
doctors, public health officials, and communities can take
action earlier. The advisory committee also said, as CDC has
long said, that the best way to protect children is to prevent
exposure in the first place. More information can be found in
advisory committee's report to CDC.

The National Center for Healthy Homes
developed, for parents, a fact sheet and checklist,
Your Child's Blood Lead Test Results

level means. The checklist lays out a plan for parents to
follow up with their child's health care provider and explore
their child's environment for possible sources of lead
exposure. CDC developed a tool,
Blood Lead Levels in Children (Exit
KB), that provides guidance to health care providers
for talking with parents about their child's blood lead

A study published by the UW-Madison
researchers on
children (Exit DHS) showed that students
who had moderate exposure to lead before age six were at a considerable
educational disadvantage compared to their unexposed peers seven to
eight years
later. Lead-exposed students in the fourth grade scored below fourth-grade
ability, an outcome with serious negative consequences for both the
student and the school.

A Grammy for Alex Morgan or Missy Franklin?
By Lizzie Haldane
Missy Franklin dances to "Call Me Maybe" last year at Arthur Ashe Kids' Day at the U.S. Open.
The bond between music and sport is often blurred -- with musicians wanting to be athletes and vice-versa. While you're watching the Grammys on Sunday night, think of these Olympians who briefly entertain on a different stage: Alex Morgan does her best
impression Katy Perry
, whose song "Wide Awake" is up for Best Pop Solo Performance. And USA Swimming, highlighted by Missy Franklin,
dives into a cover
of "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen, which has been nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year.

Spying on The Associated PressMay 16,2013The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
The Obama administration, which has a chilling zeal for investigating leaks and prosecuting leakers, has failed to offer a credible justification for secretly combing through the phone records of reporters and editors at The Associated Press in what looks like a fishing expedition for sources and an effort to frighten off whistle-blowers. Last Friday, Justice Department officials revealed that they had been going through The APs records for months. The dragnet covered the work, home and cellphone records used by almost 100 people at one of the oldest and most reputable news organizations. James Cole, the deputy attorney general, offered no further explanation on Tuesday, saying only that it was part of a criminal investigation involving highly classified material from early 2012.
Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. said he could not comment on an open investigation although he was happy to comment on the open investigation into the tax audits of conservative groups, which he said might have been criminal and were certainly outrageous and unacceptable.
Both Holder and Cole declared their commitment and that of President Barack Obama to press freedoms. Cole said the administration does not take lightly such secretive trolling through media records.
We are not convinced. For over 30 years, the media and the government have used a well-honed system to balance the governments need to pursue criminals or national security breaches with the medias constitutional right to inform the public. This action against The AP, as the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press outlined in a letter to Holder, calls into question the very integrity of the administrations policy toward the press.
The records covered 20 phone lines including main office phones in New York City, Washington, D.C., Hartford, Conn., and the congressional press gallery. The guidelines for such subpoenas, first enacted in 1972, require that requests for media information be narrow. The Reporters Committee said this action is so broad that it allowed prosecutors to plunder two months of news gathering materials to seek information that might interest them.
Holder said the leak under scrutiny, believed to be about the foiling of a terrorist plot in Yemen a year ago, put the American people at risk, although he did not say how, and the records sweep went far beyond any one news article. Gary Pruitt, president of The AP, said two months worth of records could provide a road map to its whole news gathering operation.
Under the guidelines, the administration should have sought information from other sources. Cole said it did. But the administration made the troubling and discrediting decision not to inform The AP in advance. The guidelines require investigators to provide notice unless it would pose a substantial threat to the integrity of the investigation. That is intended to prevent destruction of evidence, an impossibility in this case.
The Obama administration has indicted six current and former officials under the Espionage Act, which had previously been used only three times since it was enacted in 1917. One, a former CIA officer, pleaded guilty under another law for revealing the name of an agent who participated in the torture of a terrorist suspect. Meanwhile, Obama decided not to investigate, much less prosecute, anyone who actually did the torturing.
The Justice Department is pursuing at least two major press investigations, including one believed to be focused on David Sangers reporting in a book and in The Times on an American-Israeli effort to sabotage Iranian nuclear works. These tactics will not scare us off, or The AP, but they could reveal sources on other stories and frighten confidential contacts vital to coverage of government.MORE IN CommentaryOne hundred eighty lawmakers are soon going to decide Vermonts path forward when they vote for...

Governor's administration predicts some health insurance rates will skyrocket under Affordable Care Act; opposition groups call numbers
Submitted: 09/03/2013
Ben Meyer
Executive Producer
Play Video
- The Census Bureau estimates one out of every 10 people in Wisconsin who are too young for Medicare have no health insurance at all.
In January, by law, they'll have to be insured.
In less than a month, people can shop for plans on a new insurance exchange under the Affordable Care Act.
On Tuesday, Governor Walker's administration warned those plans could be costly.
The administration said average rates could increase by as much as 125 percent between this year and last year for certain parts of the population.
But some Wisconsin groups believe Tuesday's numbers are misleading, and meant to scare the public.
The administration says they compared average 2013 costs for plans, and the same plans enrolled in the 2014 federal exchange.
The 125 percent example used a 21-year-old living in the Madison area.
"If you're 20 years old, you're looking at rates that are going to be higher than where you're at today - significantly. If you're 60, their rates are not going to be changing as much as a 20-year-old would. Region to region, there's some big differences region to region," J.P Wieske, the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance Public Information Officer, said.
The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance released the numbers.
They acknowledge the numbers don't include the several subsidies that will be available to low-income people.
The office also says specific rates for consumers will vary widely.
Even so, some groups are upset with the release.
They see it as a scare tactic for Wisconsinites.
"Right before they're about to do 11 town hall meetings, the day they start them, they release this intentionally confusing press release with not even real rates, just a weird comparison we can't actually confirm or deny," said Citizen Action of Wisconsin Healthcare Organizer Kevin Kane.
One of those town hall meetings was Tuesday in Rhinelander.
The federal government will administer Wisconsin's health insurance exchange.
But Wisconsin officials tried to help people understand the Affordable Care Act changes better.
"The (Affordable Care Act) is complicated. It's very difficult for a lot of people to understand what's going on. We wanted to go around the state and help them understand how all of these insurance changes are going to affect them," Wieske said.
The 11 sessions include stops Tuesday through Friday across the state.
They also presented for audiences and took questions in Wausau, Eau Claire, and La Crosse Tuesday.
See the links below for the Walker administration release and the response from Citizen Action of Wisconsin.

Capita Managed IT Solutions was formed in 2013 when Capita Plc acquired Northgate Managed Services Ltd.
The company provides cloud, infrastructure and ICT managed services for public, private and third sector organisations across the UK.
Announcing the investment during a visit to the company's offices, First Minister Peter Robinson said: "Today's announcement of 400 new high quality jobs at Capita will bring the total employed to 945 and it will deliver an additional £13.75m a year in salaries into the economy.
"This substantial reinvestment will build on the existing capability of the Newtownabbey centre and underscores Capita's commitment to Northern Ireland."
Mr Robinson added: "In the last six weeks Invest NI has announced that its support will help create over 2,600 new jobs. This is fantastic news for all of Northern Ireland with jobs being created in Newtownabbey, Londonderry, Portadown, Antrim, Carrickfergus, Belfast and Tyrone.
"It is the direct result of hard work and a continued focus on promoting Northern Ireland as a place to invest and a great location to grow your business."
Invest Northern Ireland, the regional business development agency, has offered £4m of support for the new jobs, while the Department for Employment and Learning (DEL) has offered £1.2m of training support under its Assured Skills programme.
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster, who was also in attendance, said the average salary of the new jobs associated is "well in excess of the Northern Ireland private sector median wage".
"They offer a variety of employment opportunities for a range of job seekers including school leavers, returners to work and graduates. Moreover, the extensive training programme for the new staff will contribute to the development of Northern Ireland's skills base," she added. "Capita's investment here will undoubtedly strengthen our ability to attract further inward investment in the IT and business services sector, which are recognised as key markets in promoting economic growth." Ed Brown, managing director of Capita Managed IT Solutions, said: "The business is seeking to grow its customer base, expand its service range and significantly increase its service delivery capabilities in Northern Ireland. This investment is part of our strategy for achieving these objectives. "Given the opportunities in the marketplace and the quality of services and people already in place, we believe that we can reach our growth targets.
"Invest NI's support is critical to enabling us to quickly recruit the new staff we need, while the support from DEL will ensure that we can provide an excellent training programme to develop a pipeline of staff with the IT and Management skills required to support our business' growth."

The Congress supports Pope Francis's call for a "new agora" for dialogue between all civic and religious groups
[25/11/2014 17:00:00]
Speaking at the end of the visit by Pope Francis to the Council of Europe, the President of the Congress Jean-Claude Frécon (France, SOC), welcomed the Pope's speech and his call to continue the dialogue to maintain the peace so desired by the founding fathers of the Council of Europe. "This dialogue must be pursued at all political levels – European, national, regional and local, and must also include the inter-faith level so as to encompass all the constituent elements of our societies," said Jean-Claude Frécon. In his speech, Pope Francis called for the creation of "a sort of new agora in which all civic and religious groups can enter into free exchange, while respecting the separation of sectors and the diversity of positions". "As President of the Congress, I give my unreserved support to the creation of such an agora tying in perfectly with the objectives of the Council of Europe and the Congress which are to promote democracy, human rights and the rule of law," said Jean-Claude Frécon.

This Sunday saw yet another battle of creative forces that we all know by its more common name, the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards. Some people won awards, others left empty-handed, and Mad Men set a most unfortunate record but that's all right because it's an honor just to be nominated. As usual though, our focus isn't on the people who went home with a statuette in hand but on those who stood out for their style. (more…)

Grauman's Chinese Theatre was the setting as the new film by director Edward Zwick, Love & Other Drugs, premiered in Hollywood on November 4, 2010. Jake Gyllenhaal was on hand. Of the men at the premiere, he wore one of the more formal looking outfits.
Gyllenhaal's outfit was a bit reminiscent of Richard Boone who played Paladin in the late 1950s- early 1960s TV series Have Gun Will Travel. I always liked Boone's look. I thought he was very cool. He was dressed all in black and looked extremely intimidating. I like Gyllenhaal's look too. That is to a degree.
The big difference between Boone and Gyllenhaal (besides the cowboy hat and gun) is that the former created some contrast with the white tie. It gave depth to his look and also, because it did contrast with the rest of his outfit, reinforced the black outfit.
With Gyllenhaal, there is no contrast in color. There are some interesting texture choices as the suit has a subtle pattern that is mimicked by the shirt, while the tie is plain black. There are three different black tones that are offered individually by each piece and this does create some contrast. But is it enough?
Matter of Taste
Gyllenhaal's outfit is a matter of taste. (Isn't everything?) It seems to be too dark for a guy sporting a black scruff of a beard and black hair. He needs to lighten up a bit. Add some color or at least some white. Maybe a pocket square if not a different tie? I mean, Paladin did, and he was a very serious guy.
It is good to see some actors like Gyllenhaal dressing for premieres. The women always do and usually look great!
Actor Jake Gyllenhaal wore all black to the premiere of Love & Other Drugs. Picture with the actor are actress Anne Hathaway, director Edward Zwick and actor Hank Azariaand.

They were there, the Jackass immortals (okay maybe not immortals, really the crazy creators): Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and Barn Margera. It was the premiere of Jackass 3-D. You know, that popular TV show and now movie series devoted to doing really stupid, dangerous things that might severely injure the participants and makes everyone watching the antics cringe and squirm.
You might think that the creators would look…well…like jackasses. You know, instead of dressed to the nines, dressed to the negative 13s? But the fact is the principals involved in the movie looked very good. At least, Johnny Knoxville did.
His Attire
Officially, Knoxville was not dressed in formal wear. However, he was looking very good in his dark pinstripe suit, black tie and white shirt. Knoxville is considered to be Hollywood eye-candy, along with being a tad warped and very rich. He really brought it all together at the premiere.
It wasn't a tux, but it also wasn't a T-shirt, ripped jeans and green sneakers. He wore what is appropriate to today's Hollywood premiere.
The Less than Formal Red Carpet
Over the years as far as men's formal wear is concerned, the Hollywood red carpet has gone from being ultra formal to very casual. You can also see styles that encompass everything in between.
In Hollywood, men's formal wear tends to be reserved for the awards shows. Knoxville looked about as good as most guys do and as dressed up as most men get when attending a premiere.
The Standard
In a recent blog, we had a photo of Sly Stallone, Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke at the premiere of The Expendables. Stallone exuded grace, charm and class. His suit was impeccable. Knoxville captured much of the same feel.
That look and feel should be the standard for a Hollywood premiere. These guys are after all "stars" and that means that they should dress as such. Sure the era of the actor-in-a-tux movie premiere is over, but that doesn't mean the male stars can't glisten and shine a little.

At Home
Sheen simply looks right at home in his tux. Compare him to Chairman of BAFTA Los Angeles Nigel Lythgoe on his right and director Tom Hooper on his left. All three look good, but Sheen seems to be a natural in black tie. That's not an easy thing for many actors to pull off. It's not that he simply looks good or spiffy or cool. The man looks comfortable. Like he's been born to be in a Noel Coward play.
The Right Stuff?
Is it that simple? Does Sheen simply have the right stuff when it comes to donning men's formal wear? That may be part of it, but the other part is he has got the right fit for his body.
The tuxedo jacket flows naturally from his shoulders down to below his chest where it buttons, framing the tuxedo shirt and tie perfectly. Neither Lythgoe in his tuxedo nor Hopper in his suit are able to pull that off.
Catch Sheen
You can catch Sheen and all the other celebs who were at the BAFTA Los Angeles 2010 Britannia Awards held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza on November 4, 2010 in Century City, California, on TV Guide Channel on November 7th, 2010.
It's said that Sheen was the hit of the show. He tore up the place with a barrage of one-liners. However, due to their nature, they may not ne aired. In any case, you can see great men's formal wear style in the accomplished actor. It may be worth a look.
"Chairman of BAFTA Los Angeles Nigel Lythgoe, actor Michael Sheen, and director Tom Hooper arrive at the BAFTA Los Angeles 2010 Britannia Awards."

Actor Robert DeNiro, a classic himself, wore a classic Armani tuxedo. It is a style with which you can't go wrong. There's something timeless about this tux.
Director Martin Scorsese dressed in a Giorgio Armani one-button peak lapel tuxedo. The lapels were satin. His shirt featured a classic spread collar evening shirt. The rest of the ensemble included a bow tie and formal vest. Scorsese opted to secure the top button on his jacket, which obfuscated our view of his tuxedo vest.
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio looked sensational. He was very much at ease in the Armani Made-to-Measure two-button tuxedo with peak lapel. The matching five-button micro fiber vest, traditional white evening shirt and black bow tie were right on target.
If you want a constant reminder of what tasteful men's formal wear looks like, then print this photo and keep it on hand. These men are dressed for the ultimate formal evening out and look dashingly impressive. And for those who say all formal wear looks the same just consider how each of these tuxedos is unique and helps to define the person wearing it.
DiCaprio looks stellar because he simply knows how to wear it. In fact, it looks as if he's made for men's formal wear. If anything the Armani Made-to-Measure tux really does conform to his frame, creating a picture that is synonymous with the dashing male physique that defines male Hollywood stars.

Apple TV, iOS devices now recognize DVD Digital Copies in iTunes in the CloudiTunes Digital Copy movie files now show up under the Purchased tab of Apple TV and iOS devices and can be re-downloaded through iCloud.
Apple teamed up with Twentieth Century Fox to introduce the iTunes Digital Copy format in 2008 as a way for studios to let consumers import a digital version of purchased DVD movies into iTunes. Support for the initiative has gradually swelled as more studios have come on board.
In order to activate iTunes Digital Copy files, users insert the purchased physical media that includes a digital copy into a Mac or PC and then input a redemption code included with the DVD to import the file into iTunes.
Following the release of updated software for the Apple TV earlier this week, Gabe Gagliano of Tech of the Hub discovered that some of his iTunes Digital Copy files automatically appeared in the Purchased section of his Apple TV and were available for streaming via iCloud. The media also appeared under the Purchased tab of the iTunes app on an iPhone.
For now, Fox and Universal are reportedly unable to offer re-downloads and streaming of their movies because of a contractual obligation with HBO.
Apple announced the expanded iTunes in the Cloud functionality for movies and TV episodes on Wednesday alongside the release of the new Apple TV and third-generation iPad. The company first unveiled its iTunes in the Cloud feature last June as a precursor to the full-fledged iCloud service. The feature initially allowed music purchased through iTunes and apps downloaded from the App Store to be easily re-downloaded to authorized devices.
The new Apple TV adds support for new 1080p iTunes content. According to one analysis, Apple is utilizing new High profile H.264 compression in order to reduce the storage footprint of the new 1080p videos. The most recent versions of Apple's iOS and Apple TV devices include support for High profile decompression.

Living near a restaurant supply store is a dangerous thing. If you're like me, you've gotten good at justifying buying too many loaf pans (they're only $5!), too many little one-use tools (I can make that dessert I saw on Pinterest!), and too many cookie sheets (think of all the Christmas cookies!). My last kitchen in Raleigh, North Carolina, had all the tools I could ever want, mostly inherited from family members and former roommates or bought from that restaurant supply store. I rarely got rid of anything because I had plenty of room to store it. Moving out, I think I found six different sets of measuring spoons.
So moving continents to Hanoi, Vietnam was an opportunity to start over.

I've done my share of apartment hunting in North Carolina. I know how to avoid the big complexes with the bad reviews and click-baiting ads, screen out the euphemisms that mean "old" or "surrounded by loud students," and write an email to a Craigslist landlord that actually gets a response. I scribbled a rental application in my car and beat out 20 other people to rent my last apartment, which had a huge kitchen at a great price. I feel like my apartment-hunting game is pretty good.
All that is out the window in Hanoi, Vietnam. My boyfriend Allen and I made the move here in February. We love the city, but it's definitely different from home. After staying in short-term homestays, finding a space of our own quickly became a priority.
