As the German director's revered film returns to UK screens for the BFI's Fassbinder retrospective, we examine the revealing costumes of its leading lady
In 1978, just four years before his drug-induced death at the age of 37, Rainer Werner Fassbinder made The Marriage of Maria Braun, the film that would finally grant the prolific German auteur the commercial success he had long striven for. The story of its first screening has gone down in cinematic history. Fassbinder began shooting in January and finished in March the same year. In May, his previous film Despair, an English language adaptation of the Nabokov novel upon which the director had steeled his hopes, met with a disappointing reception at Cannes Film Festival. Undeterred, however, Fassbinder ordered the answer print of The Marriage of Maria Braun to be flown in, setting up an impromptu late-night screening that saw all the film industry bigwigs squeezed into a tiny theatre, interests piqued. As the majestically shot, brilliantly scripted critique of Germany's post-war "economic miracle" drew to its climactic conclusion, the applause was resounding, Fassbinder and his cast the surprise heroes of the festival.
Of all the film's stars, none shines brighter that Hanna Schygulla as the cool, impenetrable Maria, whose unwavering ambition in love and business proves both her enduring strength and ultimate downfall. Fassbinder had originally cast Romy Schneider in the role but later dropped her in favour of Schygulla, a former school friend and star of many of his earlier works. Maria is a pretty young woman who marries a soldier named Hermann Braun during World War Two, spending just "half a day and one night" with him before he returns to battle. Shortly afterwards he is announced missing – presumed dead – and Maria takes up with an American GI named Bill. But all is not as it seems – Hermann returns, sparking a chain of events that result in Maria's accidental slaughtering of Bill and her husband's subsequent imprisonment after opting to foot the blame. For the duration of the film, we watch as Maria, a self-professed "master of disguise" undergoes a gradual but profound evolution, supported by an exquisitely varied wardrobe by Barbara Baum, in a bid to salvage first her own and then the couple's future. Here, as the film returns to UK screens as part of the BFI's dedicated Fassbinder season, we decode the symbolic messages her myriad costumes hold.
The Signature Look
We first meet Maria on her wedding day. She is wearing an A-line dress in fine white lace and a veiled headpiece, while bombs fall and debris rains down like confetti. Cut to Maria's mother's house, where our protagonist is dressed simply but immaculately in a blue dress, brown sheepskin coat and matching, angular hat. She announces that although there's no longer much of a market for wedding dresses, she has swapped hers for a shaving set – the first indication of her shrewd business mind. The news of Hermann's supposed death prompts another transaction and the first of Maria's various transformations: she swaps a brooch for a dress – "black, short sleeves, decollage" – in order to secure a job at an off-limits bar. Her mother shortens the hem, while her friend Betti styles her hair in a "poodle"-like updo supposedly fashionable among Americans. Add to the equation rouged lips, a smattering of diamantes and a sultry pose, and the role is hers. Maria, we are swift to learn, knows how to get what she wants – especially where men are concerned.
The same beguiling black dress proves the catalyst for her next job offer too, when Hermann's jail sentence forces her to take control of the duo's finances. She sneaks into the first class carriage of a train, slips into the gown and charms a textile mogul named Karl Osmond, who offers her a job before the journey's up. From the first shot of the blonde beauty in her new role, another change is apparent: she radiates grace, charm and self-confidence in an expensive looking, voluminous black skirt and pale blue top, the tie of which accentuates her small waist. Osmond falls heavily under her spell and the pair embark on an affair orchestrated by Maria, who frequently reminds the besotted businessman of this fact, as well as asserting that it is "not me [but] my work" that should dictate her position within the company. Thanks to both, one can only assume, she soon rises through the ranks, her wardrobe growing ever more lavish – coats trimmed with leopard fur, organza dresses, intricately embellished hats, chic black polo necks and shimmering pearls abound.
By the time she and her estranged husband are reunited, after no shortage of drama, Maria – now an impressive but icy powerhouse, decked in a sharply tailored, pale grey skirt suit – has just purchased her first house. But the return of her husband, for whom she has reserved her heart (if not her body) all these years while barely knowing him, reveals her vulnerable side once more. In the film's final scenes, she flits manically from outfit to outfit – first a smouldering, black satin corset and suspenders that hold up grey silk stockings, then a crumpled navy dress, and finally an all white suit (perhaps an attempt to evoke their wedding day) – an unsettling precursor to the explosive, enigmatic ending.
The Modern Manifestation
While a number of Maria's outfits are distinctly 1950s in tone, her carefully cultivated style nevertheless offers up a number of opportunities for modern interpretation. Her cherry red lips and matching nail varnish, for example, prove a timelessly chic combination; a look you can recreate using a Chanel lip gloss and complementary polish. Similarly, when it comes to strong, sexy lingerie, Maria's take is hard to beat. Agent Provocateur's Damson or Lyst corset in black offers a covetable contemporary alternative. Complete the effect with suspenders, stockings and loose, tousled curls. There are also lessons to be gleaned from Maria's empowered approach to her appearance – namely her winning resolution to dress for success. But our heroine serves as an important reminder that material wealth can come at a price. As French film critic Jean de Baroncelli – who viewed Maria as an allegory of postwar Germany, complete with skewed moral compass – famously proclaimed, "[she's] a character that wears flashy and expensive clothes, but has lost her soul".
The Fassbinder retrospective is at BFI Southbank, and on BFI Player, from March 27 until May 31, 2017.

Video gaming used to be a strong 'no-go' zone for parents. But that was many, many moons ago before parents started becoming more and more interested in the many benefits that video gaming can offer children. If you are still sitting on the fence here are some of the best methods and tools to ensure that you are properly monitoring your childrens video game activity and that you are encouraging the best kind of video play.
Internet Security
As video gaming is becoming more and more interactive, we are using our internet connections more and more in order to play. Of course, all parents are aware of the risks of children being on the internet, a more unknown risk however, is that to your software. If you are running on an outdated system, then you are much more likely to catch a virus on your computer by spending time connected to video games through your internet connection. Therefore if your children want to play games online then it is advisable to upgrade your computer to a system that is compatible with the latest software.
Use Game To Your Advantage
Encouraging children to play the right kind of games is also an important element when approaching video gaming. Children that are experiencing stress or anxiety are best indulging in games that are calm and therapeutic. If you are looking to try and build memory and motor skills then certain tactical games are the best. Children can play Final Fantasy 15, or similar games of that genre, to build problem solving skills as these types of games are good at encouraging children to make plans and to follow them through in order to reach the best decisions. Children that need help in an educational capacity can try games such as Endless Ocean or for younger children The Magic School Bus. Picking and choosing the kind of games that you think your child or teenager would benefit from is a great way to provide your child with something that he or she enjoys whilst also giving you peace of mind that you are proactively focusing on important areas of their development.
Lead By Example
As with all things in parenting, leading by example is really important when it comes to video gaming. As we are now seeing the emergence of the next generation of parents, parents that grew up in the video game era, it is now becoming more and more common to see parents playing video games with their children. Whilst this is fantastic and finding a great family activity that everyone can enjoy is always a goal, we must be careful to not get too carried away (as we tended to do when we were young!) We must be mindful that whilst video gaming can be beneficial, moderation is always key and screen time must always come with a limit.
Minormonitor is a very useful app that provides parents with the confidence that their children are protected from the perils of social media. All parents, with children in this day and age, are aware of the worries associated with children on sites such as facebook and twitter. Minormonitor will allow you to monitor your child's activity on these social media sites, including when they add a friend, share a photo, update their status, and of course when they are playing games through those sites. It will offer peace of mind that your child is playing happily online, without any problems.
MobSafety Ranger Browser
So it is one thing monitoring their activity online, it is quite another monitoring exactly how much time they are spending playing online. Therefore another great tool for making your life that little bit easier is the MobSafety Ranger Browser. This allows you to limit the amount of time they spend playing video games online without actually having to physically prize them away from your computer. It simply allows you to input the exact times that your child is allowed to play online. No arguments, no monitoring necessary and no excuse for them not to then go off and complete that pending homework assignment.
With video gaming nowadays having such a heavy online presence it is also important to talk to your children about cyber bullying. It is an unfortunate downside to playing interactively with people in other locations, so it is important to ensure that your child feels they can be open with you about any issues with any other players.
But with that and the above tips in place you should have no problem keeping your children enjoying their video gaming in a safe and well monitored environment.

The greatest mark of a person's success is that they elevate the fortunes of the people who work with them.
Success is never a one-person job. If we want our team to be successful, we must advocate for them. Advocating for others directly increases self-confidence and their ability to perform at the peak performance levels necessary to increase their success, and the success of the team. To follow are eight ways to advocate and contribute to others.
1. Acknowledge.
To advocate for another, we must acknowledge their dignity, their worth and their value as a human being. So often we turn people into "things." We label them as this or that, and neglect to treat them as a human being. We cannot connect with a person we treat as an "it" or a "thing" because we depersonalize or minimize them down to a label. To effectively advocate for others, we must work to encounter them as people of worth, interest and significance. When we acknowledge the dignity and worth of another, we are seeing them. To advocate, we must acknowledge others for who they are in the world, for what they do, and to tell them why what they do and who they are matters. This creates motivation.
2. Touch.
There is nothing more connecting than to recognize another person through appropriate physical touch, direct eye contact and attentiveness. When we use light touch, we tell others they are worthy, likeable and valuable. Most people are so tied into their phones and other electronic devices that they and we spend less and less time engaging in face-to-face interactions. It's important to shake hands or hug, and to have a moment of real human-to-human interaction. When we touch another person, we advocate for them through the stimulation of the mood hormones that create bonding and trust. When touch is appropriate, we make others feel special.
3. Advise.
To advocate for others, we have to look beyond ourselves. We must objectively listen to and observe others to determine what is in their best interest. To advocate we must not criticize, judge or invalidate; instead we should focus on guiding, brainstorming, and exploring possibilities. When we operate in this way, it allows us to advise others according to their desires, not our own. Advice coming from a selfish agenda is not good advice at all because it is no longer about being of service to another; it is more about using another person to meet our own agendas. Advocating means we want and desire for people to reach for and achieve the goals they come up with.
4. Support.
The most outstanding results, to come from any endeavor, are born from a solid foundation of feeling and being supported. To provide support, we need to advocate for people in three simple ways; people need to feel heard, valued and understood. When someone comes to us, we are not there to fix or solve their problems, we are there to hold the space for them to vent, be in fear, and express their more reactive or worried emotions. When in that space, we must hold the belief for them that all will be okay when they cannot hold that belief for themselves. Being supportive means we act as a net. We must encourage others into their own self-reflection by asking them questions that will help them to find their own answers. When we do this, others feel they can be in our presence and be supported to find themselves, amidst their own imperfections without humiliation.
5. Coach.
Great success comes from coaching others to achieve their dreams. As we contribute to others in their success, we also achieve our own. Goals are a shared experience. Thing about it, every great athlete has a coach. Power lifters are able to lift heavier weights when they have a spotter. Every person driven towards success would do best to have a coach, a therapist, a mentor or all of the above to guide and support them in living out their personal and professional goals. When we coach others, we advocate for their success, and from this they develop the tough-mindedness to go out in the world and do their best. When the person or people we advocate for have missteps, they have someone in their corner to support and coach them, with improved strategies, to push them back out there to conquer their goals.
6. Believe.
Advocating for others comes from holding a deep and genuine belief in who they are and what they are capable of achieving. When we give this, and the other person trusts our belief in them, they will live up to the beliefs we hold to show us (and themselves) they are as capable as we believe. Success doesn't come from putting another down to get them to fight to prove us wrong. Success is better sustained when we advocate for people to prove our belief in them to be real, valid and correct. When we deeply support, believe in and advocate for others, they become more resilient. We must advocate for people to see their talents, their skills and their potentials. Advocating for others serves to lifts their spirts. When spirits are high, people are better able to handle stress and conflict.
7. Expectation.
People naturally live up or down to expectations. When we hold high, reachable expectations of others, they will reach as far and as wide as they must to live up to what we expect. High expectations covertly communicate to others that we believe in their abilities. Our expectations naturally push them out of their comfort zones, causing them to become curious about what they are really capable of achieving. In advocating for others, we increase their self-belief to see the possible realities that could come from living up to what is expected of them. Their curiosity, backed by our support and belief, influence them so deeply they naturally begin to test the edges of their fears and begin to rise above them.
8. Reframe.
Each person suffers from differing amounts of negative self-talk. We must learn to re-frame another person's negative attitude from one of lack to an attitude of possibility. The most important way to advocate for others is to focus on solutions to problems, rather than on all the problems with the problem. Moving forward from a problem-focused mindset, only creates more problems. As we reframe another's negative self-talk, we model new ways for them to be in relationship with themselves. We must advocate for them to understand that every "no" takes them closer to their "yes." In doing this, we inspire them to see the valid reasons for staying in the grind when frustrations seem to be taking over. The belief we advocate is never to accept "no" for an answer, and to say "yes" to new things. There is never really a "no" because there is always another way to get to the same goal.
People grow in immeasurable ways when there is a community of support behind them, even if that is a community of two. We must cheer people on, advocate for them, recommend them to others and acknowledge them publicly. We all need people in our corner to advocate for our growth and success. Advocating for others has the reciprocal effect of increasing our own sense of personal well-being and and levels of success.

DREAM PROGRAMMING – Last night, I programmed my dreams with Archangel Gabriel, Archangel Michael and Archangel Raphael for the continued healing of the trapped emotions within me regarding money and the healing of my heart walls in a surprising way that I will recognize. I also asked to be divinely guided in my journey through life in a surprising way that I will recognize.
DREAM RECALL#1 – I woke up at 1:48am from the following dream. My home and I feel safe. Everything is locked up, and I am ready to go to bed. I am with a man, and we hear a lot of noise outside. It's not safe outside, but he wants to go out and check. I beg him not to go outside, because he would bring the feelings of not being safe inside. It is the noise of rambunctious men, but I am scared.
DREAM RECALL #2 – I dreamed that I found my biological father, and his name was Mortimer. I added the first name William while dreaming, because that was my biological father's first name. Mortimer was tall and slim, in a grey suit and tie with a handkerchief in his pocket. I was so excited, and I was showing him off and introducing him to people.
FEELINGS WHEN I WAKE UP – Waking up from Dream Recall #1, I feel safe even though in the dream I was scared. In Dream Recall #2, I wake up happy with intense curious as to who Mortimer is.
DREAM INTERPRETATION – I have lived alone for a long time, and so I am not even sure I could share long term my home with a man. Should I let HIM in or not? That is the question. The first name of my biological father is William, but that is not his last name. Now I wonder if the man who came into my dreams was a very rich ancestor of royalty.
REALITY CHECK – I set my intentions for last night's dream journey, to focus on trapped emotions in me that relate to money. I googled MORTIMER. I discovered that in the middle ages the Mortimers were a powerful magnate family /dynasty of Marcher Lords in the Welsh Marches centered in Wigmore Castle in Herefordshire from the 14th century holding the title of Earl Of March. In present times, from what I have read, they seem to have a very rich ancestrial past.
QUESTION FOR MYSELF – In regards to the first dream, should I let love in or not? In regards to the second dream, who the heck is Mortimer to me? What is the message for me? Is he an ancestor from a previous life with a message about my trapped emotions about money?
FOCUS – Tonight, I will focus on Dream Reentry for more information on Mortimer, and the message that is there for me in my dreams.

TVD Ticket Giveaway! | Action Painters, Wednesday (4/22) at The Red & The Black
No, wait--it's even better than that. Allison, the band's keyboardist, emailed us with bigger ideas:
"The show at The Red & The Black on Wednesday 4/22 is the opening night of Action Painters first major tour and we're super excited to have it be in DC. It's also our first show ever in DC, so we're really looking forward to making it rock. We'll make you dance and forget about having to wake up the next day. Tell all your friends and come hang out.
The ticket giveaway winner will receive this extra hot prize package:
1. 2 tickets to the show
2. A copy of our debut record, Chubby Dancer
3. A limited edition pre-release copy of our new EP, Lay That Cable
4. A limited edition screen print tour poster by our bassist and band artist Ray Heekin
5. The band will personally hug and/or make out with 1 of the 2 ticket holders and talk about any 2 of the following topics: food, politics, the TV show 30 Rock, religion, and/or what room of your house you are letting us crash in tonight."
I suggested soliciting head shots for #5 there, but the band's just gonna wing it.
As always, plead your case in the comments to get your mitts on the tickets--AND the band. We'll choose a winner on Wednesday at noon. So, get to it and remember to leave us your email or contact info!
"Action Painters do twinkly heartache with the best of them ("Cold Dead Corner"), and their up-tempo numbers ("Never Say I'm Sorry") are convincingly jagged. It's when they let the excitement of being young and romantic make them dizzy, though, that they excel. Album opener "Absolutely Clear" can't decide whether it wants to be classic rawk or post-punk, so Haslow lets his voice tremble and shake and splits the difference, landing somewhere frenetic and epic and sweet. Buried beneath the artsy fury lies AM radio gold."

Well, besides the fact that I think the band is awesome and destined for huge success, and I'd still pay to see them even if I did win the free tickets… or at least buy twice the equivalent of the ticket price in their choice of drink… there is this one odd, incongruous piece of information, that just might do the trick: not only do I own the same beautiful Rickenbacker that Tom plays, but it's been missing an E string ever since Wreckless Eric stayed at my house last September and broke it while trying to tune it for me. Sorry the video for "Sooner or Later" just made me think about that.

A reminder - we need an email to contact winners!

I have to admit, I'm a little ambivalent at this point about making out with the band. I'm just a little confused about how this would happen. Would it all happen at once? That might be fun, but honestly I'm just not that into most of you. In this post hipster-grifter world you just have to be careful.
I have no qualms whatsoever with prices 1 through 4. Can I have #4 signed though?
See you tonight!

There's no business like shoe business. Since the demise of her soap Guiding Light, fan fave Tina Sloan (Lillian) has been playing to sell-out crowds with her inspiring one-woman stage show Changing Shoes. It's all about her struggle to stay vital and relevant in a world that prizes beauty and youth. The book version, Changing Shoes: Getting Older — Not Old — With Style, Humor, and Grace (Gotham Books), will hit stores September 16. (Go to ChangingShoes.com for her performance schedule and pre-order info on the book.) TV Guide Magazine spoke with the 67-year-old Sloan about her adventure into self-awareness, which took her from the heights of Mount Kilimanjaro to the depths of depression.
TV Guide Magazine: Congrats on getting a real publisher to put out Changing Shoes. None of this self-publishing stuff for Miss Tina Sloan!
Sloan: And Publishers Weekly just wrote the loveliest piece about the book! I'm so excited about that! The book deal happened just a few days after 60 Minutes aired its segment on the cancellation of GL [last fall]. In fact, I found out about it the night the play opened.
TV Guide Magazine: It's a super read. You deliver some great truths about aging. You make people want to grow up to be you!
Sloan: A lot of people say that to me now and I love it. All my life I've wanted to be a mentor. That's what I've dreamt of being my whole life because I didn't have anybody there to help me when I started out. It's why I wrote it all down for the next generation. I worked so hard on the book — morning, noon and night — and I think it paid off. The book is very different from the stage show, much more honest in many ways. Things got to the point at GL where I felt so diminished by all the attention on the younger women that I withdrew from life. I basically lost five years! I'd sit around the house in my bunny slippers gaining weight, reading murder mysteries and watching the Pride and Prejudice TV series with Colin Firth, like, 25 or 30 times. I became a recluse. And when I did leave the house, I'd go to theaters and watch the Bridget Jones movie time and time again, eating my popcorn and my M&Ms, and loving it because she was allowed to be fat — and she wasn't even that fat! But she got the nice, handsome guy in the end and I took a lot of solace in that.
TV Guide Magazine: You eventually pulled yourself out of that dark funk and, now, you want to help others in the same situation. But will they listen?
Sloan: I think I'm pretty normal and very relatable to all sorts of people, men included, and I know the secret to finding joy again! I share my struggles and my miseries and how I found my way out. These are tough times and a lot of people feel like giving up, but there's still so much joy and fun and light. So much is going right! It's all about staying in the game, staying frisky, keeping a twinkle in your life.
TV Guide Magazine: Still, there are those who'd consider a TV star to be someone of privilege and that your problems — being sidelined on a soap by increasingly younger, hotter beauties — isn't comparable to life's real problems.
Sloan: But it is! It happens everywhere. If you're working at an office or at bank, there could be a young, smart, peppier girl coming up and sort of pushing you out of the way. It could happen if you're working the counter at McDonald's. I'm relatable because I've had a long marriage and a lot of stars don't. I've had my son serving in Iraq. A lot of stars don't. I took care of my parents when they got old. A lot of celebrities sort of put their parents away. I don't mean that unkindly, but they do. I think I'm pretty normal, really. Even [in the book] where I'm climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and crying the whole way up because I'm a bit of a spoiled child in my pink boots, people will still want me to get to the top of that mountain. And, hey, like a lot of people in this country, I'm outta work, too! I don't feel removed from reality. I'm honest. I keep coming back to the truth.
TV Guide Magazine: We seem to be experiencing a pandemic of denial in our culture and that's a big thing to battle. We're all about the distractions — texting, tweeting, cell phones, dopey celeb gossip.
Sloan: It's so true. Women who change their faces with facelifts are trying to deny that they're aging. They deal with a child who is on drugs or a husband who is straying by living in a state of denial. Gaining weight, going through menopause, dealing with aging parents — which I go into a lot in the book — can also leave you in denial. I don't know why we're all hiding from the truth. We're all pretending things are perfect like we're living in some kind of 1950s TV show.
TV Guide Magazine: The upside of all this: One's troubles can lead to very good things!
Sloan: [Laughs] It got me my book and it got me my play! I allowed myself to feel diminished by the world and then I decided I wasn't going to let that happen anymore. I fought back. I lost a lot of years but now I realize that loss made me who I am right now. For a while there, I resigned from the world. At GL, I stopped going into the production office to talk to the people who make the show. I just stayed in my dressing room eating and eating. But when I started going back into that office, and chatting with the other actors in their dressing rooms, that's when I started to come alive again. That's how Crystal Chappell and I became great friends, and that's why I'm on [Chappell's web soap] Venice. When they called me to do [the web soap] Empire, I said yes! You have to keep yourself relevant. And as I started writing the book I started losing weight because I was happy again. It's so easy to slip into that place of nonexistence. It's like going into a coma. You're there but you're not there, like you're living in a wide-awake dream.
TV Guide Magazine: So what's the secret to life?
Sloan: I asked that question when I went to Kyoto to meet the marathon monks. They literally run a marathon every single day of their lives for seven years — 26 miles one way, 26 miles the other. At the midway point they have dinner and then run back. All I wanted to do was see them and find out what they were all about, so I was taken down to meet one of them in his hut. I said, "Tell me the secret to life." And, with the help of a translator, he said, "Just put one foot in front of the other." That's it. It's that easy. That's all you have to do — but do it in a great pair of shoes, of course!

It only takes a few minutes searching Google News to find a myriad of recent news stories referencing Common Cause as a "nonpartisan" group, a description that has long been obsolete when it comes to describing the liberal activist organization.
A few examples: Here's a Columbus, Georgia, newspaper editorial calling CC a "nonpartisan government watchdog group," and trying to pretend it is no more liberal than the Georgia Conservatives in Action and the Georgia Tea Party Patriots.
Here's a commentary published just a few days ago by Minneapolis Star-Tribune columnist Lori Sturdevant, who praises Common Cause and says in recent days it has "lived up to its nonpartisan billing -- something it has otherwise lost in GOP eyes, despite the Republican pedigree of its national founder, John Gardner."
That last bit of info is often tossed into articles defending Common Cause as a "nonpartisan" organization, as if the party registration of the founder of the group more than four decades ago has instilled the group with immutable centrist credentials, especially since party registration wasn't necessarily an indicator of ideology in those days.
As Sturdevant's column, lauding the resurrection of Common Cause in Minnesota, makes plain, the organization is on the side of the Left -- working with various liberal organizations to fight conservative organizations like the Minnesota Family Council and ALEC and support such liberal agenda items as gay marriage.
That's what you would expect from a group headed by a very liberal former Democratic congressman, Bob Edgar. It's also the sort of group that you'd expect to ask very liberal former Clinton cabinet member Robert Reich to chair its governing board. Common Cause's leadership board also includes Martha Tierney, legal counsel for the Colorado Democratic Party as vice chair of its board. The group has also featured leftist bombthrower Bill Moyers at its 40th anniversary dinner celebration.
But not every media outlet still buys the "centrist" description of Common Cause.
In this Sunday article in the Tuscaloosa News (Alabama), the reporter correctly mentions that ALEC has "conservative leanings," and then correctly notes that Common Cause is "a left-leaning Washington, D.C.-based group."
That's the proper description, as C.J. Ciaramella extensively documented yesterday at Washington Free Beacon in an article noting that Common Cause rather hypocritically accepts big money from liberal organizations to fight "big money in politics" - but of course only the big money on the conservative side.
Ciaramella wrote:
Common Cause—a nonprofit campaign finance and government reform organization whose stated goal is to "curb the excessive influence" of money and lobbying on government—is one of several organizations participating in a Wednesday protest against the conservative super PAC American Crossroads.
Other groups participating include Campaign for America's Future, Rebuild the Dream, People for the American Way, Public Campaign, The Other 98%, Health Care for America Now, Alliance for Justice, Public Citizen, and the SEIU. According to the event flyer, which includes a picture of Karl Rove in an orange prison jumpsuit, the groups will hold a "march to indict" American Crossroads "for the crimes of trying to buy our elections and keep people from exercising their right to vote." However, Common Cause has taken money from liberals willing to buy their way into elected office—and, despite claims of nonpartisanship, it also has a history of supporting progressive causes and affiliating with Democratic party organs.
But while the Washington Free Beacon and a few small-town papers out in flyover country like the Tuscaloosa News aren't fooled by Common Cause's common-but-false claim to be nonideological, too much of the media still pretends Common Cause is today what it was more than 40 years ago, rather than correctly informing readers and viewers that Common Cause is what it is today: A liberal astroturf group masquerading as a non-partisan government watchdog.

Melton Mowbray RFC's resurgence was further bolstered last week when the club received an award from rugby's national governing body.
On the pitch, the club is enjoying one of the best spells in its 104-year history with the First XV riding high in Midlands One East after back-to-back championships and a county cup win.
But it was the off-field servants who received the plaudits this time around after helping the Burton Road-based club earn the RFU Club Accreditation award.
The bid for RFU accreditation was 18 months in the making and engineered by the club's welfare officer Andrew Thorpe and long-time stalwart Brian Hesford who is also the current LRU county president.
As well as its prestige, the award will also be essential for clubs to receive financial support from the RFU in the coming years.
Brian said: "It leaves us in shape to get grants and help somewhere down the line.
"The RFU has to have confidence in the clubs that they are going to put money into."
The award is based on six key areas which are designed to strengthen and secure the future of grassroots clubs - retaining and developing players; recruiting new players; recruiting and retaining high quality coaches, volunteers and referees; effective and efficient facilities; effective and efficient management and governance; integration with the local community.
It covers every section of the club from senior and ladies' rugby to its junior and mini sections which have thrived over the last decade.
Brian added: "The award also gives confidence to parents that the club is being run properly and there are systems in place if someone is injured or there is bullying.
"It's important that parents know their kids are going to be looked after properly - we are one of the best in Leicestershire for that."
Melton RFC has identified an action plan it hopes to meet as a result of the accreditation which includes long-term improvements to club facilities and helping younger players adapt from junior and Colts rugby into the senior game.
Club chairman Marcus Twidale said: "From the club's point of view it's important we have certain standards and that will help us in the future.
"Club accreditation is something the RFU is pushing and we wanted to support it."

I've not seen Shakespeare in Love. Here is a review of Shakespeare in Love.
Shakespeare, with curlsome beard and firm, fruity quill. William 'the Bard' Shakespeare, with his bottomless codpiece of words and his wise vetinary surgeon's understanding of human nature. Sir Shakespeare, with his enormous, wobbling genius, spilling all over Elizabethan England like a flaccid mountain of quince. King William the Shakespeare, who, like Doc Emmet Brown in Back to the Future III, travelled to the Wild West and shot a one-eyed bastard. Sweet Fucking Coast of Bohemia Mother. William 'Jehovah' Shakespeare is in the Motherfucking House.
Did you know Shakespeare fell in love? No, I didn't either, but it makes sense that he did, really, doesn't it, considering how definitively he nailed the concept on the head in Romeo and Juliet? Does it? When you think about it, there are many things that we don't know about William Shakespeare, such as: what was he thinking? How did he think he could get away with it? Did Shakespeare even write Shakespeare's plays? Of course not, no. But that was his genius, see. He knew only mugs write their own plays. So he paid Francis Bacon, the famous butcher, to write them for him.
Tom Stoppard has written a film about how Shakespeare fell in love with the tiny-headed, moustached Gwyneth Paltrow. The lighting in this film is very realistic, and reflects the strict laws that were in place at the time regarding the use of spotlights and floodlights (they were banned). The food in this film is also very well-observed. No-one, for instance, can be seen on camera eating such modern comestibles as hamburgers or poppadoms. Stoppard scrupulously avoids all such inauthentic period details and sticks to the historical facts. You can't buy that kind of verisimilitude.
Joseph Fiennes plays Shakespeare tolerably I suppose, though he holds the quill much too limply. Do you think that the man who wrote such memorable lines as 'To be or not' and 'I want a horse' held his quill as if it were a mere chicken drumstick? No. Shakespeare held on to that quill as if it were one of God's own whiskers, frazzling with a thousand megavolts of hot lightning and channelling the furies of creation. He tugged that fucking quill like a champion and banged out a thousand masterpieces. He did not, Joseph Fiennes, hold it like an atrophied spanner.
The script is pretty good. There are a few choice Stoppardisms in there, such as when Affleck says 'I'm in a play', and then another character says 'I'm reading from a script'. Before Stoppard was born, all characters laboured under the delusion that they were real people, and no one had the heart to tell them that they were not. Stoppard changed all that, though perhaps those were more innocent times.
All told, this isn't bad movie. It seems to do Shakespeare justice. Yeah, I like it. Check it out.

How To Lose Weight And Build Muscle? The truth!
This is an interestin topic since it's in virtually every persons goal and thats why everybody wants to know the truth of how to lose weight and build muscle at the same time.
I have some bad news for you…
Trying to lose weight in form of fat and build muscle simultaneously is next to impossible!
…but if you belong to one of the next categories it's possible:
– Never worked out with weights
– 1 in a million genetics
– You are using steroids or other Performance Enhancing Drugs
So to average Joe like you and me burning fat and building musce at the same time is basically impossible after you've been following fat loss program coupled with muscle building program for about 1-4 months.
Now as we got that out of the way let me get to the point here.
There is a lot of different opinions circling around this subject. Some say it's possible some say not. Some say it's possible to some extent some not.
I believe that you cannot burn fat and build muscle at the same time.
Because when you're building muscle you have to be in Calorie Surplus to give your body all the tools and fuel it needs to grow muscle. And to burn fat you have to be in Calorie Deficit and when you're in Calorie Deficit you can only try to maintain your muscle mass!
So basically you got two paths here…
You either stick to building muscle OR focus on burning fat.
If you're overweight you might want to consider dropping off that excess fat before you start building muscle. If you're heavily overweight it might make some movements difficult to do for you and you could also put a bit more stress on your joints especially in lower body such as knees and ankles. And the last thing on any fitness regimen wether it's fat burning or muscle building program is to get injured.
At this point I hope you've already shed the thought of burning fat and building muscle at the same time from your mindset.
So here is a couple of quick pointers to both of the options:
Bulding Muscle
- Eat in a Calorie Surplus
- Eat 1 gram of protein per pound of Lean Body Mass or Whole Body Mass
- Train with Basic compound exercises (Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Presses, Rows, etc.)
- Aim for progressive overload (more reps or weight added weekly)
- Rest enough
Burning Fat
- Eat in a Calorie Deficit
- Eat 1 gram of protein per pound of Lean Body Mass or Whole Body Mass
- Lift weights to maintain muscle
- Do cardio about 4 times a week (both H.I.I.T and low intensity cardio)
- Drink a lot of water
- Rest enough
By focusing just one goal at a time you'll get to your results faster and more efficient way because you're putting your body to the best possible situation for the specific goal in mind.
So to wrap up the main points here here is what you should focus on when thinking of how to lose weight and build muscle:
– Pick either a program for WEIGHT LOSS or BUILDING MUSCLE and make it your #1 priority.
– Pay a lot of attention to your Diet. It's the most important factor after exercising (or could be argued to be even more important).
– Which ever goal you choose, remember that it takes a lot of time. You should be monitoring your improvement over months, not days or weeks.
That is my take on this subject my friends! I sincerely hope you got something out from this article.

As Oprah would say, "self-acceptance can crack open your life." When you accept yourself, you're opening the door for many opportunities, financial and business success being just two of them.
The Connection Between Self-Acceptance and Success
Your self-esteem and self-concept are your prime motivators. As such, when these are running low, you may not be nearly as motivated to achieve as you would be otherwise. Furthermore, poor self-esteem or self-image drains your confidence, your energy, and your drive. Achieving success is nearly impossible without these things.
How to Develop the Key to Success
If you want to be successful, you need to accept yourself. To do so, start by giving yourself the power to become who you want to be. Acknowledge and accept your feelings. Let go of negative emotions. Praise yourself for the things that you do well. The sooner that you learn self-acceptance, the happier and healthier that you'll be.
Seek the Counsel of a Life Coach
Self-acceptance can be difficult to achieve on your own. To help you when things get difficult and to guide you along the way, consider the counsel and advice of a life coach and mentor.

A welcomed return to original composition, Twain is more a sequel to 2008's The Growing Season than 2010's all-standards set When I Was Long Ago. Rebecca Martin is a singer-songwriter more than an interpreter, and although she proved skilled at recasting familiar material in her own dusky, guileless voice on the last record-there is one cover on the new one, Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady"-it was a detour. It's her elucidation of her own words that best defines her, and Twain may be Martin's most intimate and affecting collection to date.
Working, as she has for the past several years, with bassist/husband Larry Grenadier, plus keyboardist Pete Rende and drummer Dan Rieser, Martin doesn't veer notably from the equal parts folk, jazz and pop mix that's defined her since her emergence. She's most comfortable in the company of a minimally adorned ballad, songs like "God Is in the Details" and "Some Other Place, Some Other Time" that put her vocal delivery and acoustic guitar upfront and the accompanists at arm's length. There's a new serenity to those ballads, a settling into her own skin that was only really starting to become evident with The Growing Season.
A few times, though, Martin breaks up the quietude and picks up the pace, giving the others, Grenadier in particular, space to stretch. "On a Rooftop" practically rocks in comparison to the rest-its solid thump gives Martin's semi-opaque lyrics an electrical charge-and "Safe This Time" neatly juxtaposes a nearly cheerful melody with a tale of fragility.

Melissa Dines
"Doing the MFA has furthered my professional development as a lecturer, while breathing fresh life into my practice as an artist," says MFA graduate Melissa Dines.
Melissa has been a part-time teacher in the Fine Arts undergraduate programme at Whitecliffe for nearly 10 years.
"I believe making art and teaching art are a perfect complement. Making art can be a very insular process, so it's a huge privilege to be a part of a lively and invigorating creative community," she says.
She says through Whitecliffe she has realized the more she knows about what is happening in the art world, locally and globally, the better equipped she is as an artist.
"If I am in the middle of a creative slump I read an art book or magazine, or visit a gallery, or force myself to sit down and make a whole lot of work until something of value emerges. "

Londoners who read the Property section of last Wednesday's Evening Standard may have noticed a two page spread on Chislehurst (Kent), a town just up the road from me. The article highlighted all the perks of living in the area with a special mention and photo of Annabel's – a shop come tea room. Annabel's just happens to be one of my favourite local shops, where a good friend is both manager and buyer, so I thought I'd add some details behind the picture in the paper.
First and foremost, Annabel's ticks all the boxes in my top tea room criteria. This includes: delicious cake, tasty scones, pretty china, tea leaves, little forks and tablecloths. What more could you ask for? We had the carrot and the orange cake followed by scones – 'tis the season to treat yourself after all!
Secondly, Annabel's stocks a range of wonderful luxury English gifts and household items from picture frames and teapots to scarves and handbags. Christmas is a great time to pop in and I left with a bag of gorgeous decorations trumping all those available at Christmas Markets I've recently visited.
There are two Annabel's stores in Chislehurst: a boutique in Royal Parade and the shop mentioned (including tea room) in the main high street. Personally I love the latter with the option of sipping while I shop. It also has this gorgeous window seat, with the design of the window itself adding to the English charm of the store, where you can look out over the pond.

Please wait . . .
Mission Statement
The Minnesota Humane Society (MHS) is the oldest humane society in Minnesota, established in 1869, and was the third humane society in the United States. MHS is dedicated to protecting the lives and interests of Minnesota's animals, extending its concern to all animals--both domesticated and wild. Our mission is accomplished through education, advocacy and rescue.
- MHS has taken a leadership role in promoting humane education on behalf of both domesticated and wild animals. Over the years, MHS has developed a variety of informational literature designed to enlighten the public on animal related issues.
- In classrooms throughout MN, MHS sponsors KIND NEWS, a monthly publication, promoting both kindness toward both people and animals and a respect for the environment.
- MHS representatives speak to students in classrooms and youth groups about pet overpopullation, the importance of spaying and neutering and how to responsibly care for companion animals.
- MHS hosts a booth in the Pet Center at the MN State Fair and provides information to the public on a variety of animal related issues. MHS also particpates in in the Twin Cities Pet Expo and a variety of other cat and dog events throughout the year.
- Each legislative session MHS works to protect Minnnesota's animals.
- In the late 1800s, MHS was responsible for establishing one of the first laws making cruelty to animals a crime.
- Recent legislative efforts include working to repeal pound seizure where publicly funded shelters and pounds are required to provide unclaimed animals for experimental and educational purposes.
- MHS has worked to repeal the recently legalized hunting of mourning doves and to prevent the inhumane practice of bear hunting with hounds.
- MHS is actively working to pass legislation that would protect dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in Minnesota puppy mills.
- MHS does not maintain a shelter, however we rescue dogs and cats from several area impound facilities. These unclaimed animals would face euthanasia if not for our rescue program.
- All MHS rescues are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested for a variety of health conditions and receive any needed medical attention, from de-worming to surgery.
- Rescues go to a foster home or one of several adoption sites. Interested adopters fill out a detailed application and veterinary reference checks are conducted to help determine if the home is a good match. The goal of MHS is to find a forever home for each of its rescues.

- Perhaps one of the greatest needs across the Twin Cities, as well as across the nation, is population control of feral (wild) cats. Numerous studies on how best to control these breeding populations have determined that the most effective means of population control is a program called "Trap, Neuter, and Release" where colony members are sterilized and provided food and shelter in the areas they normally live. These cats then live out their lives without adding to the population. Frequently small feral cat colonies populate areas where citizens are concerned for their well-being. MHS responds to to calls regarding small feral cat colonies and provides the veterinary services needed for these feral cats. MHS volunteers also build feral cat shelters which can house five to seven cats.
- The MHS Elliott Medical Fund (named in honor of a stray puppy MHS rescued being abused by neighborhood children) supports extraordinary medical expenses for both our rescues as well as occasional grants to needy members of the public whose animals would not otherwise receive medical treatment.

This announcement originally came to us via the IFPA Announcements email list. Sign up at Footbag.org!
Hi footbag fans,
On behalf of IFPA's Worlds Operating Committee, I'm pleased to announce that
the 2014 IFPA World Footbag Championships will be held July 26 - August 3,
2014, in Paris, France!
For 2014, we had three formal bidders, but the first two had to be rejected
for various reasons.
Eventually the RHN Footbag Club from Paris set up a formal bid, which was
voted in favor by IFPA Worlds Operating Committee.
You can find more detail about the new Worlds bidding process and the
players' bill of rights at this link:
We all have to understand that an early decision of WOC about future
World Championships is strongly related to potential bidders.
It would be awesome to publish such a decision more than a year
in advance. But we depend entirely on clubs and organizers to
do the leg-work and provide much of the talent and volunteer
time to make the event viable.
So if your club is interested in hosting a future IFPA World Footbag
Championships, please inform us as soon as possible (details at
the link above). You don't need to have a complete project plan — if
your club has potential and good will, that's a good start!
In addition, IFPA has outlined a Players' "Bill of Rights", documenting the
rights that footbag athletes should have at the World Championships and
hopefully all other events.
This Bill of Rights guides the organizers and informs the priorities and
choices that are made in providing arrangements, venues, and schedules for
the week-long event.
Expect a separate email announcement soon soliciting bids for 2015.
We're very excited to have Paris take the event for the first time this
summer. We have the utmost confidence in the team, including
Grischa and RNH Footbag, as well as other French players, clubs,
and organizers who will help make this year's event "fantastique!"
Check out all details on the official event listing (more details
including a full Worlds website, will be coming over the next
weeks and months):
If you have questions or are interested in volunteering, please contact the
IFPA Worlds Operating Committee at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We hope you all can make it!
Wiktor Debski
Worlds Operating Committee
IFPA Executive Director

Johnnie L Cochran, Jr.[1] (October 2, 1937 – March 29, 2005) was an American lawyer best known for his leadership role in the defense and criminal acquittal of O. J. Simpson for the murder of his former wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.[2]
Cochran also represented Sean Combs (during his trial on gun and bribery charges), Michael Jackson, rapper Tupac Shakur, actor Todd Bridges,[3] football player Jim Brown, rapper Snoop Dogg, former heavyweight Champion Riddick Bowe,[4] 1992 Los Angeles riot beating victim Reginald Oliver Denny,[2] and Geronimo Pratt. He represented athlete Marion Jones when she faced charges of doping during her high school track career.[5] Cochran was known for his skill in the courtroom and his prominence as an early advocate for victims of police brutality.[1]
Early life
Johnnie L Cochran, Jr. ("L" was his full middle name) was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. His father was an insurance salesman, and his mother sold Avon products. The family relocated to the West Coast and settled in Los Angeles in 1949.[6] Cochran later graduated first in his class from Los Angeles High School in 1955. He went on to receive his Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1959 and his Juris Doctor at the Loyola Marymount University School of Law in 1962. He was a member and 45th Laurel Wreath Wearer of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity.[7][8]
Legal practice
Inspired by Thurgood Marshall and the legal victory he won in Brown v. Board of Education, Cochran decided to dedicate his life to practicing law. Cochran felt his career was a calling, a double opportunity to work for what he considered to be right and to challenge what he considered wrong; he could make a difference by practicing law. In A Lawyer's Life, Cochran wrote:
"I read everything that I could find about Thurgood Marshall and confirmed that a single dedicated man could use the law to change society"
Despite setbacks as a lawyer, Cochran vowed not to cease what he was doing, saying "I made this commitment and I must fulfill it."[9]
Early career
Cochran took a job in Los Angeles as a Deputy City Attorney in the criminal division[10] after he passed the California bar in 1963. Two years later, he entered private practice and soon opened his own firm, Cochran, Atkins & Evans, in rural Woodstock, Illinois.[2] In his first notable case, Cochran represented a widow who sued several police officers who had shot and killed her husband. Though Cochran lost the case for his client, Mrs. Leonard Deadwyler, it became a turning point in his career. Rather than seeing the case as a defeat, Cochran realized the trial itself had awakened the black community. In reference to the loss, Cochran wrote in The American Lawyer, "those were extremely difficult cases to win in those days. But what Deadwyler confirmed for me was that this issue of police abuse really galvanized the minority community. It taught me that these cases could really get attention." By the late 1970s, Cochran had established his reputation in the black community. He was litigating a number of high-profile police brutality and criminal cases.[1]
Los Angeles County District Attorney's office
In 1978, Cochran returned to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office as its first black assistant district attorney. Though he took a pay cut to do so, joining the government was his way of becoming "one of the good guys, one of the very top rung." He began to strengthen his ties with the political community, alter his image and work from within to change the system.[11]
Return to private practice
Five years later, Cochran returned to private practice, reinventing himself as "the best in the West" by opening the Johnnie L Cochran, Jr. law firm. In contrast to his early loss in the Deadwyler case, Cochran won US$760,000 for the family of Ron Settles, a black college football player who, his family claimed, was murdered by the police. In 1990 he joined a succeeding firm, Cochran, Mitchell & Jenna,[12] and joined Cochran, Cherry, Givens & Smith in 1997.[13] The Cochran Firm has grown to have twenty-six offices located in fifteen states.
In most of his cases Cochran represented plaintiffs in tort actions, and he was an opponent of tort reform.[14] Due to his success as a lawyer, Cochran could encourage settlement simply by his presence on a case.[15] According to Jesse Jackson, a call to Johnnie Cochran made "corporations and violators shake."[11]
Cochran's well-honed rhetoric[4] and flamboyance[16] in the courtroom has been described as theatrical. His practice as a lawyer earned him great wealth. With his earnings, he bought and drove cars such as a Jaguar and a Rolls-Royce. He owned homes in Los Angeles, two apartments in West Hollywood, and a condo in Manhattan. In 2001, Cochran's accountant estimated that within five years the attorney would be worth US$25–50 million.[17]
Even before the Simpson case, Cochran had achieved a reputation as a "go-to" lawyer for the rich as well as a successful advocate in police brutality and civil rights cases. However, the controversial and dramatic Simpson trial made Cochran widely known, with opinions of him ranging widely.[1][15]
Cochran often liked to say that he worked "not only for the OJs, but also the No Js". In other words, he enjoyed defending or suing in the name of those who did not have fame or wealth. Cochran's most glorious moment as a lawyer, he believed, was when he won the freedom of Geronimo Pratt. Cochran said he considered Pratt's release "the happiest day" of his legal practice.[1] In the words of Harvard Law professor Charles Ogletree, Cochran "was willing to fight for the underdog."[11] Rev. Jesse Jackson believed Cochran was the "people's lawyer."[16] Magic Johnson proclaimed Cochran was known "...for representing O.J. [Simpson] and Michael [Jackson], but he was bigger and better than that".[3]
O.J. Simpson
During closing arguments in the Simpson trial, Cochran uttered the now famous phrase, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." He used the phrase as a way to try to persuade the jury that Simpson could not have murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Lyle Goldman, because a bloodstained glove found at the scene of the crime did not fit him. Cochran did not represent Simpson in a civil trial for the same murders in which Simpson was found liable. Cochran was criticized by pundits, as well as by prosecutor Christopher Darden, for bringing up the issue of race.[18] Cochran told the mainly black Simpson jury that police officers were trying to frame O.J. Simpson because of his race.[4]
Robert Shapiro, co-counsel on the Simpson defense team, accused Cochran of dealing the "race card" "from the bottom of the deck."[10] In response, Cochran replied it was "not a case about race, it is a case about reasonable doubt...", noting "there are a lot of white people who are willing to accept this verdict."[19] Cochran's courtroom performance generated hostility toward the attorney.[citation needed][clarification needed]
At Cochran's funeral, Simpson expressed his belief that, without Cochran, he would not have been acquitted.[citation needed]
On September 8, 2012, Cochran was accused by Darden[20] of tampering with the glove that was at the center of the Simpson trial.
Abner Louima
Cochran successfully represented Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant who was sodomized with a plunger while in police custody. Louima was awarded an $8.75 million settlement, the largest police brutality settlement in New York City. Tension broke out between Louima's original lawyers and the new team headed by Cochran. The former team felt that Cochran and his colleagues were trying to take control of the entire trial.[21]
Sean Combs
In 2001, Sean ("P. Diddy") Combs was indicted on stolen weapons charges as well as bribery. Soon thereafter, Combs hired Cochran. Cochran effectively fought for Combs' freedom, with Combs winning an acquittal.[22]
In 2002, Cochran told Combs that this would be his (Cochran's) last criminal case. After that trial, he retired, and later declined to represent R. Kelly and Allen Iverson in criminal cases when they asked for his services.[9]
Illness and death
In April 2004, Cochran underwent surgery, which led to him staying away from the media. Shortly thereafter, he told the New York Post he was feeling well, and that he was in good health. He died at his home in Los Angeles on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 from a brain tumor, which had been diagnosed in December 2003.[6][23]
Public viewing of his casket was conducted on April 4 and April 5 and a memorial service was held at Little Union Baptist Church on April 8, 2005 in Shreveport. His remains were interred in the Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California. The funeral was attended by numerous former clients and friends.[3]
On May 31, 2005, several months after Cochran's death, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered its opinion on Tory v. Cochran. The court ruled 7–2 that in light of Cochran's death, an injunction limiting the demonstrations of Ulysses Tory "amounts to an overly broad prior restraint upon speech". Two justices, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, said that Cochran's death made it unnecessary for the court to rule. Lower courts, before Cochran died, held that Tory could not make any public comments about Cochran in any way.[24]
In honor of Cochran, on January 24, 2006, Los Angeles Unified School District officials unanimously approved the renaming of Mount Vernon Middle School, Cochran's boyhood middle school, to Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. Middle School, saying he was an "extraordinary, superb lawyer with movie-star celebrity status." There have been mixed reactions about the board of education's decision, primarily because of Cochran's work as a lawyer. For instance, the sister of Nicole Brown Simpson has expressed her disappointment with the decision, although she called Cochran "a great defense attorney."[25] Since the school was renamed, others have voiced their ideas of naming a street after Cochran. City Councilman Herb J. Wesson Jr. wanted the city to rename a section of 17th Street, which runs in the front entrance of the school that the city approved to Johnnie Cochran Vista. Wesson felt that Cochran was "a great attorney and a great role model who contributed to this community."[26]
In 2007, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles opened the new Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. Brain Tumor Center, a research center headed by noted neurosurgeon Keith Black, who had been Cochran's doctor.[27][28]
In popular culture
Before Cochran's nationwide fame in the O. J. Simpson trial, actor Denzel Washington interviewed Cochran as part of his research for the movie Philadelphia.[29]
After the Simpson trial, Cochran himself was a frequent commentator on law-related television shows. Aside from being featured on television shows, he hosted his own show, Johnnie Cochran Tonight, on CourtTV. With the Simpson fame also came movie deals.[30]
As a result of Cochran's record in high-profile trials, popular culture either has enshrined him as representing what it means to be a successful lawyer, or has parodied him based upon his mannerisms.
Actor Phil Morris played attorney Jackie Chiles, a character parody of Cochran, in several episodes of Seinfeld.
Cochran is mentioned or referenced in innumerable lines of script in many other television shows and movies, including the films Lethal Weapon 4, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Jackie Brown, Woo, and many others, as well as in television shows such as MadTV, Martin, Angel, Whoopi, and appeared as a prominent character in the South Park episode "Chef Aid" (season 2, episode 14), using the Chewbacca defense in his closing argument.
Cochran was mentioned in HBO's hit shows The Sopranos and The Wire.
On Broadway, Cochran's character appears in the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon during the song "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream".
Cochran also appeared in an episode of the video-game themed animated series Code Monkeys, as part of a "dream team" of lawyers defending main character Dave, John Hinckley and George Michael for the attempted murder of Ronald Reagan; parodying his playing the race card in the O.J. Simpson trial, Cochran pleads temporary insanity on the basis that a lifetime of being white caused his clients to go crazy.[citation needed]
Cochran took these parodies in stride, discussing them in his autobiography, A Lawyer's Life.[31] He appeared as himself in The Hughleys, Family Matters, The Howard Stern Show, Arli$$, CHiPs '99, Bamboozled, Showtime and JAG.
His name is also mentioned in a line of the Good Charlotte song "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", and in a line of the Wyclef Jean song "Thug Angels".

New live music venue for Swansea
Swansea's getting a new live music venue.
The Bucket List is based in the old Adelphi Hotel in Wind Street and operated by the Welsh Creative Hospitality Group.
Bruno Nunes and Mike Griffiths own Peppermint Bar & Kitchen in Swansea and Cardiff, Bambu Beach Bar and Brewstone in the Uplands.
Their latest venture will create more than 25 jobs.
Bruno Nunes said: "We're already well represented in the city and in particular Wind Street, so it was important that our product differentiated not just from the existing, but followed the great example of the many new changes Wind Street and vicinity already boast of.
"I really hope everyone will enjoy the relaxed experience at The Bucket List and will see it like that great place that is there for the long run and one, that specially on the live music scene, will look to establish itself as THE (smaller capacity) venue for live music in the city."
Mike Griffiths said: "Why The Bucket List? Well, we were looking to offer things in a more casual, informal environment.
"We travelled to Chicago to the national restaurant show and took the opportunity to visit Nashville, the world's capital for Live Music and straight away, we were blown away by the great energy of the venues there."
"The setup was simple and straightforward and the product was both great and simple. With The Bucket List we hope to offer that great experience you should try before you "kick the bucket"."
The new venue will have live music, over 120 beers from all over the world, an American inspired menu served from a kitchen open until 1am and a 'members only' Ball Room.
It opens this weekend.
Bruno added: "Some industry colleagues keep telling me that another business in Swansea or Wind Street is probably a bad idea. But I love Swansea as a city, I can see Wind Street changing for the better every year and with the pedestrianisation and improvement of the street furniture, I genuinely feel that we're on the cusp for some great change and have something for everyone of all ages"
"The regeneration of our city centre is upon us and with that, we hope the leaders of our council will see the clear benefit of firmly linking the unique great potential of a much better Wind St as a food, drink and entertainment quarter to the rest of this great regeneration project that is happening right now."

The Restorer's Journey-Expanded Edition releases today in paperback.
(Kindle/Nook/Kobo versions to follow soon)
But until I was proofreading the galleys last week, I didn't even realize there were over 60 pages of new content in RJEE. Wow! Deleted scenes, an alternate opening, bonus scenes, a devotion guide, links to a professional audio interview, bonus articles, music, and more. I hope you enjoy returning to Lyric with Jake and Susan!
The Restorer's Journey-Expanded Edition
by Sharon Hinck
His choices have the power to save or destroy.
With a loved one's life at stake, Jake charges through the portal into Lyric to stage a dramatic rescue, trusting that the signs that mark him as Restorer will guarantee success. But everything familiar in Lyric has vanished, swept away by deadly lies and a corrupt king. As inexorable forces conspire to turn him from his purpose, Jake finds his path leading to places beyond his courage.
While he confronts the temptation to flee his calling, Susan struggles in brutal captivity. Can she gain freedom before the enemy destroys her spirit, and will Jake choose to follow his destiny before everything is lost?
(Book three in the groundbreaking Sword of Lyric series, The Restorer's Journey won a Carol Award for speculative fiction. This new expanded edition includes bonus scenes, a ten week devotional guide, and links to audio and video extras.)
