New York Times Bestseller!
From the man who became Pope Francis, Jorge Mario Bergoglio shares his thoughts on religion, reason, and the challenges the world faces in the 21st century with Abraham Skorka, a rabbi and biophysicist.
For years Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, archbishop of Argentina, and Rabbi Abraham Skorka were tenacious promoters of interreligious dialogues on faith and reason. They both sought to build bridges among Catholicism, Judaism, and the world at large. On Heaven and Earth, originally published in Argentina in 2010, brings together a series of these conversations where both men talked about various theological and worldly issues, including God, fundamentalism, atheism, abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, and globalization. From these personal and accessible talks comes a first-hand view of the man who would become pope to 1.2 billion Catholics around the world in March 2013.
From the Hardcover edition.
About the Author
JORGE MARIO BERGOGLIO, POPE FRANCIS, is the first Latin American to be elected to the chair of Peter. A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, he was ordained as a priest in 1969. He served as head of the Society of Jesus in Argentina from 1973 to 1979. In 1998 he became the archbishop of Buenos Aires, and in 2001 a cardinal. Following the resignation of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, February 28, 2013, the conclave elected Bergoglio, who chose the papal name Francis in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi. He is the first pope to be a Jesuit, to come from the Americas, and to come from the Southern Hemisphere.
ABRAHAM SKORKA is an Argentine rabbi, biophysicist, and book author. He is rector of the Seminario Rabinico Latinoamericano in Buenos Aires, the rabbi of the Jewish community Benei Tikva, a professor of biblical and rabbinic literature at the Seminario Rabinico Latinoamericano, and honorary professor of Hebrew law at the University of Salamanca.
Praise For…
This remarkable book wonderfully demonstrates the warm and positive relationship Pope Francis has developed with Jews and Judaism. These honest and respectful exchanges between then-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio and Argentinian Rabbi Abraham Skorka on a wide range of sensitive and complex topics - God, religion, fundamentalism, politics, and the Holocaust - is a model not only for Jews and Catholics but for all those seeking productive interfaith dialogue in helping to repair a broken world. -- Rabbi Eric J. Greenberg, Director, Department of Interfaith Affairs Anti-Defamation League
Whether or not they agree with everything that is said, readers of all religious backgrounds will be impressed by the substance and frankness of these conversations between Cardinal Bergolio and Rabbi Skorka. They clearly enact the call of the Second Vatican Council for "fraternal dialogues" between Catholics and Jews. This is how religious leaders should speak to one another: on the basis of sincere friendship and respect. This book will also encourage anyone who wondered if a pope from a non-European country could be personally committed to the Catholic Church's new relationship with Jews. --Philip A. Cunningham, Ph.D., Professor of Theology and Director of the Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations, Saint Joseph's University, Philadelphia

The dialogue is somewhat stilted, and the girls aren't very interesting (except for their names, why would an author call two characters Mary Rose and Jo-Beth.) though the story was interesting. "Kids don't faint, only grown-ups faint." Tell that to my eight-year-old fainting self. Read full review

[Intro/Hook: Paris]
Is it a, coincidence that we ain't taught truth
A, coincidence that they target the youth
A, coincidence everything is the same
That a message in the music ain't a part of the game
A, coincidence that we livin a lie
A, coincidence that we only get by
A, coincidence that so many are lost
And do prison time 'fore we notice the cost
It really ain't difficult to break the mold
And take a close look at the lies we're told
Wipe away the facade, see we got to know
See the plot to control and to rot the soul
You can make anybody that don't read believe
Anything that they see on the TV screen
That a lie is reality, the sky is green
That there's weapons in Iraq, and the President's clean
When it's on, thinkin you can trust police
Every black is a beast and our women are cheap
And that brothers gettin murdered is the way of the streets
That it's normal to die when we still in our teens
And that's the way it is, what's the use to try
That school is a motherfuckin waste of time
Slang yay, die young, maybe get rich rhymin
And prison if you black is just a part of life
And that all of America support the Pres'
Religion is the way, and we all full of sin
That it's better after death if we suffer and pray
Even though they fuck us off in this life today
And that white Jesus hangin on the wall in church
Ain't a part of a lie to keep a brother subservient
And that the whole world need the word "Amen"
Got troops overseas gettin murdered for free
If you buy that shit, I got a bridge to sell
Like I said I'm a rebel, so I must re-bel
And lies be the truth now, war is peace
Like corporations don't dictate the streets
Like brothers don't die for the diamond or bling
Like brothers don't die over songs we sing
Like patri-ots act like the Patriot Act
While we swing on this bitch 'til we break it in half
You guilty if arrested and niggas are thugs
Only good for welfare, murder and drugs
The media is true, with no bias at all
And Fox News ain't on the President's balls
That Lacey and O.J. and Kobe and Mike
Ain't bullshit and really do matter in life
That you shouldn't be insulted they give 'em the time
But never talk about all this corporate crime
That they generatin news stay loose with facts
Relate fake views that'll keep us attracted
Like sheep so we don't think, never react
Never question authority, never suspect
Never trip off of why what matters to us
Always seem unimportant, and never get love
Why it's never any money for the school support
But it's fallin out the sky for these corporate wars
They never give real shit space to shine
Just donkey-ass niggas on assembly line
Cookie cutter pop-slutter make music designed
To pedal Coca-Cola, Motorola and Sprite
No love for the Enemy with video play
But they give Flav a show to take the focus away
From the realest group ever made, whaddya say
When to them it's Eminem that's goin down as the greatest?
When the plan is a shame like we makin a choice
Understand it's a scam who get handed a voice
And it's only a few and they decide in advance
Like votin for the President and both of them fam
All that "God bless America, and nobody else"
But I can smell racism, however it's dealt
Know the real shit never miss, see how it's felt
All around the world, hear the people cryin for help
[Outro: Paris]
A, coincidence ex-cons can't vote
A, coincidence they can't get no work
A, coincidence that they can't hold heat
Now they know that they enemy don't look like me
A, coincidence that we shit out of luck
The consequence of coincidences all add up
When you never know the reason and you're set up to suffer
The offense is coincidence is never the cause

If a marketable concept could ever trump execution, it's "First Love, Second Chance," a TV Land series that resonates mostly because the channel's boomer audience can easily putty-in the gaps. Allowing people to reconnect with lost loves, the self-contained episodes aren't much different from any other dating show, except for the what-might-have-been idea, which ought to exert a powerful pull on our oft-divorced populace. The show could just as easily be titled "Middle-Aged People, Poor Choices," but given the Viacom net's modest ratings expectations, a successful hook-up with viewers seems likely.
The premiere involves a couple who essentially did little more than flirt in high school — 29 years ago — when he was an Australian exchange student living in her house. Now, they're 46, she's a divorced mom of five and he's a single dad.
Reunited through the show, the two spend a week together, trying to see if any of the old attraction still exists. "The flame has definitely been fanned," one of them says, speaking in a manner unique to bad romance novels and reality dating shows.
Mostly, the series demonstrates that when it comes to love, people never really outgrow their teenage giddiness — and remain inordinately enamored with the notion of recapturing it, in the same way music and ballplayers of our youth are "better" than the ones today. Perhaps that's why the second episode doesn't work as well, involving as it does people in their late 30s who dated a mere dozen years before.
If only the show didn't engage in the requisite silly dating show flourishes, from direct-to-camera testimonials and "final video messages" to awkward introductions to the people currently in their lives, which feel conspicuously staged. When an old rival suitor rears his head in the premiere, what's next, one wonders, saggy pistols at dawn?
For all that, "First Love" is such a readily identifiable notion that TV Land appears to have landed the equivalent of a demographic bull's-eye. The baby-boomer generation has left a trail of broken marriages and disappointing relationships, so the notion of looking back to one's past to find the future will doubtless appeal to many — or at the very least, makes watching surrogates undergo the process intriguing enough to become a survivor.
Even with a slew of knockoffs structured around permutations of "The Bachelor" theme, dating shows have been pretty durable. And while the modest platform that is TV Land probably won't unleash a raging ratings fire, the flames, as it were, have been fanned.

To a hammer, goes the saying, the world is a nail. Perhaps to an economics writer, even a distinguished one like David Leonhardt of the New York Times, the world is an economics equation. And perhaps that is what has led Leonhardt astray in a post to the Times' Economix blog, "The Declining Payoff From Black Colleges."
Leonhardt's "Declining Payoff" post responded to reactions he received to a previous post, "Revisiting the Value of Elite Colleges." In the course of reporting that research indicated that most graduates of elite colleges like Harvard and MIT don't make higher incomes than those who graduate from good but non-elite colleges, Leonhardt noted that the rule did not seem to apply to "black students, Latino students, low-income students and students whose parents did not graduate from college," for whom attending an elite college appeared to translate into higher earnings. "Students who choose a historically black college over an elite college," he wrote, "may be hurting their future earnings potential."
In his "Declining Payoff" post, Leonhardt doubled down on his argument. "There's more evidence for this finding than I knew," he wrote, citing a study by economists at Harvard and MIT. Much further down in the post, he includes the caveat, "Of course, wages are just one measure of a student's satisfaction with a school."
Now, that should have been his headline: Wages are, indeed, just one measure of a student's satisfaction with a school. And they are just one measure of a college's importance, not only to the students who attend it, but to the society at large.
Take the group of students that Leonhardt refers to in the first post: black and Latino students, low-income students and first-generation learners — students whose parents did not graduate from college. For how many of them is attending an Ivy League school a realistic option? Yet, those are the students most in need of a college education, and whom the economy and country most need to get one. With the economy's growing need for college-educated workers, and with significant percentages of higher-income students already on track for college, those are the groups on whose education we need to focus.
In fact, of course, picking a college is a uniquely personal decision, not subject to a simple (and simplistic) scan of postgraduation earnings statistics. Students and their parents understand this, even if economists don't. A soon-to-be-published study by UNCF's Patterson Research Institute (with support from the Mellon Foundation) found that HBCU students are acutely aware of what a college offers them. They know themselves, and they know what they need and want from a college. How much access to faculty members do they need? Which colleges offer the academic programs that lead to the career path they want?
"I wanted to attend a small college that would allow me to really … thrive. I wanted to know my professors," a student at one of UNCF's member HBCUs told the researchers who conducted the Patterson Research Institute study. "I wanted to have small classes, and I also wanted an institution that was known for academic excellence … and of the historically black colleges that I considered, Brooksville College [not its real name; participants were promised anonymity for themselves and their colleges], definitely emerged as number one just because of its reputation for producing … women who serve."
And which colleges provide an education that guides you not only to professional success but also to service to the community and the country? There's an answer to that. Washington Monthly ranks colleges each year on what they contribute to the public good in terms of social mobility, research and service. An HBCU, Morehouse, was ranked first among more than 250 liberal arts colleges, with three HBCUs ranking in the top 15 and six in the top 30. Three more (there are only 47 private HBCUs in the country) are among the top 30 baccalaureate institutions. Morehouse places just ahead of Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore; Spelman College ahead of Wellesley and Bowdoin; and Tougaloo College in Mississippi ahead of Bates and Smith colleges.
Leonhardt does quote the Harvard and MIT researchers as admitting that "[o]n the positive side, HBCU attendees became relatively more likely to be engaged in social, political and philanthropic activities." But he follows with their observation that even among graduates who go into public-sector and nonprofit work, elite college alumni make more on average than HBCU alums do. Similarly, Leonhardt quotes the researchers that "the most qualified African Americans were increasingly choosing HBCUs," but seems to trump that fact by adding that they still make lower incomes.
Making a good income is a perfectly legitimate reason for choosing a college. But it should not be the only reason. To devote such focused attention to a college's record of producing high earners gives that consideration a primacy it doesn't deserve.

Ullman's Governor's Council hearing turns into Bulger melee
By David Frank, Managing Editor, Lawyers' Weekly
Robert L. Ullmann's March 6 judicial nomination hearing before the Governor's Council quickly spiraled into an uncomfortable referendum on the James "Whitey" Bulger case.
The Boston lawyer and his onetime boss, former U.S. Attorney Wayne A. Budd, answered heated questions for more than three hours about their role in the reputed mobster's case.
"I wasn't absolutely certain, but at a point I was pretty darn sure that [Bulger] had been an informant," said Ullmann, now a partner at Nutter, McClennen & Fish. "The bottom line was that we could not get the information from the FBI."
Ullmann, who has been nominated for a Superior Court judgeship by Gov. Deval L. Patrick, served as chief of Budd's criminal division during portions of his tenure as a prosecutor from 1985 to 1995.
"There were some of us that came to realize, or strongly suspect, that Bulger was being protected by the FBI," Ullmann said. "Wayne Budd, myself and another prosecutor went to the FBI to try to get straight answers. But … we were stonewalled."
Ullmann, 57, told the council he had his suspicions about Bulger being an informant, but admitted that he was a "bit naïve" about the breadth of the corruption in the case.
"I understand you feel there is some fingerprinting [going on]," Ullmann told the council. "I am taking responsibility for the things that, as I sit here today, I would have done differently, but I can't take responsibility for things that people did that were beyond by my control. I was chief of the criminal division for the U.S. attorney; I had absolutely no ability to control anyone in the FBI."
Budd, who testified on Ullmann's behalf, told members of the Governor's Council that his office was unable to crack the Bulger case during his reign and that he had regrets about his office's handling of the case.
He served as U.S. attorney from 1989 to 1992. The Goodwin Procter lawyer said that, in retrospect, his office should have turned to non-FBI law enforcement for help.
"I wish I was smart enough to figure out that this guy was tipped," Budd said. "Every time we tried to make a move, he'd see it coming. I wish I had been smart enough to know where to turn to address this more aggressively. If there is fault to be found, that would be with me because I was there in that seat at that time."
The council is expected to vote on Ullmann's nomination on March 13.

As regional neighborhoods gather representatives to join Mayor Stepper for coffee Friday morning several potential reps have wondered about how good the coffee is at Father Nature's Shed. It seems that there is some doubt that any consideration will be given to the guestions being brought to the meeting concerning an incomplete traffic study for the approvals of Magee Ranch and Weber Ranch projects.
It boils down to this: 1) the mass of diverted traffic into Alamo and north and Blackhawk and south doesn't seem to be acknowledged as Danville's problem. 2) The Diablo Road gridlock that landlocks Diablo doesn't seem to have any consideration by Danville. 3) The isolation of Danville business district due to gridlock on Diablo Road and El Cerro is more likely the Chamber's issue.
With the potential for the Mayor and Danville Officials to pass the buck to other communities and organizations it is important to have a value for the Mayor's meeting and that would indicate that the coffee is important. So, just how good is the coffee at Father Nature's Shed?

Rose water is the hydrosol portion of the distillate of rose petals, a by-product of the production of rose oil for use in perfume. It is used to flavour food, as a component in some cosmetic and medical preparations, and for religious purposes throughout Europe and Asia. Rose syrup is made from rose water, with sugar added.
Since ancient times, roses have been used medicinally, nutritionally, and as a source of perfume. The ancient Greeks, Romans and Phoenecians considered large public rose gardens to be as important as croplands such as orchards and wheat fields.[1]
Rose perfumes are made from rose oil, also called attar of roses, which is a mixture of volatile essential oils obtained by steam-distilling the crushed petals of roses, a process first developed in Iran (Persia). Rose water is a by-product of this process. It has been suggested that the Persian polymath Avicenna discovered how to make rose water in the tenth century.[2]
Rose water has a very distinctive flavour and is used heavily in Persian and Middle east cuisine—especially in sweets such as nougat, raahat and baklava. For example, rose water is used to give some types of loukoum (or "Turkish Delight") their distinctive flavours. Beside its usage in food, it is also used as a perfume, especially in religious ceremonies ( Hindu, Muslim and Zoroastrian).
The Cypriot version of mahalebi uses rosewater.[3][unreliable source?]In Iran, it is also added to tea, ice cream, cookies and other sweets in small quantities, and in the Arab world and India it is used to flavour milk and dairy-based dishes such as rice pudding. It is also a key ingredient in sweet lassi, a drink made from yogurt, sugar and various fruit juices, and is also used to make jallab. In Malaysia and Singapore, rose water is mixed with milk, sugar and pink food colouring to make a sweet drink called bandung. Rose water is frequently used as a halal substitute for red wine and other alcohols in cooking.
Marzipan has long been flavoured with rose water. Marzipan originated in the Middle East and arrived in Western Europe by the Middle Ages; it continues to be served as a postprandial snack.[4] Rose water was also used to make Waverly Jumbles. American and European bakers enjoyed the floral flavouring of rose water in their baking until the 19th century when vanilla flavouring became popular.
In the United States, rose syrup is used to make rose scones and marshmallows.
Cosmetic and medicinal use
Rose water is a usual component of perfume. A rose water ointment is occasionally used as an emollient, and rose water is sometimes used in cosmetics such as cold creams. Water used to clean the Kaaba, the Qibla for Muslims located in Mecca, combines Zamzam water with rose water as an additive. Rose water is used in some Hindu rituals as well. Rose water also figures in Christianity, particularly in the Eastern Orthodox Church.[5]
Rose water was first produced by Muslim chemists in the medieval Islamic world through the distillation of roses, for use in the drinking and perfumery industries.[6]
In parts of the Middle East, rose water is commonly added to lemonade.
Medicinal use-Ayurveda: In India, rose water is used as eye drops to clear them. Some people in India also use rose water as spray applied directly to the face for natural fragrance and moisturiser, especially during winters. It is also used in Indian sweets and other food preparations (particularly gulab jamun, named from the Persian word for rose water). Rose water is often sprinkled in Indian weddings to welcome guests.
Depending on the origin and type of manufacturing method of rosewater obtained from the sepals and petals of Rosa damascena from Central Iran through steam distillation, the following monoterpenoid and alkane components could be identified with GC-MS: mostly citronellol, nonadecane, geraniol and phenyl ethyl alcohol, and also henicosane, 9-nonadecen, eicosane, linalool, citronellyl acetate, methyleugenol, heptadecane, pentadecane, docosane, nerol, disiloxane, octadecane, and pentacosane. Usually, phenylethyl alcohol is responsible for the typical odour of rose water but not always present in rosewater products.[7]

On this day I got glasses, and learned how to see...
"Emergency" water, not yet put away... A reminder that storms do pass - in weather, in life .
These bottles will empty... but we won't be left thirsty.

Could you please publish a devotional? K-thanks.
I'm a wife, mom and blogger;
Coffee drinker, baker, and jogger.
I don't swim in the sea.
Or make potpourri
I like pizza with a good lager.
I'm a c-sections survivor.
The mother, the gardner, the driver;
A maid, and a groomer,
(Have I said coffee consumer?)
I'm not the best, but I try-ver.
I'm the homeschool professor.
And, my desk is a mess-er.
A guitar player who cooks.
A reader of books,
I'm early to rise I confess-er.
From laundry is my constant flee.
My van is chock full of debris.
I mow the lawn,
Walk our dogs in the dawn-
Only after two-cups of coffee.
Like you, I do many things.
But its Christ who gives me the wings,
To press on when life's hard,
Knowing He will stand guard.
His love is what makes my heart sing.
Among titles, no more am I "slave":
For Christ overcame that dark grave,
In Him I am free,
To be who He's called me to be.
And that's the short story of me.

PIERRE, S.D. – Thanks to the state's Congressional representation, South Dakota's wildlife and natural habitat could have a banner year.
The Teaming with Wildlife Act, introduced by U.S. Sen. Tim Johnson and co-sponsored by U.S. Sen. John Thune, would provide $350 million annually over five years to help states carry out their Wildlife Action Plans. The comprehensive plans are the primary conservation tools adopted in every state and U.S. territory to keep fish and wildlife healthy and off the list of threatened and endangered species.
The Teaming with Wildlife Act is funded by a portion of royalties collected from Outer Continental Shelf drilling and mineral development on federal lands.
South Dakota would be eligible to receive $3.4 million each year from the Act for five years.
Sen. Johnson was honored by the Teaming with Wildlife Coalition and the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies for championing federal funding for state-based wildlife conservation as part of the Teaming with Wildlife Act, which was introduced in March 2009.
The award recognizes the senator's leadership in supporting legislation to establish a first-of-its-kind funding program to help state fish and wildlife agencies advance their State Wildlife Action Plans into on-the-ground action to prevent at-risk wildlife from becoming endangered nationwide.
"I am honored to receive this award from the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies," Johnson said. "South Dakota has a deep history of appreciation for the outdoors, and that's why I introduced important legislation that will help preserve our wildlife."
"We are fortunate to have a very supportive congressional representation when it comes to healthy wildlife and suitable habitat," said GFP Wildlife Diversity Coordinator Eileen Dowd Stukel. "We are the only state to have both of our senators signed onto the Act. Working with the cooperation of Governor Mike Rounds, and Senators Johnson and Thune, our staff is very pleased with the Teaming with Wildlife Act and the benefits it will provide South Dakota's wildlife."
Stukel noted that South Dakota's Teaming with Wildlife coalition includes 179 groups and businesses, representing several hundred thousand South Dakotans. There is no charge to join the coalition. Members simply go on record in support of the need to ensure responsible management of wildlife and natural habitat in South Dakota and the nation.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan admits that while shooting for an inner wear ad (DixcyScott), he was reminded of his film Karan Arjun.
Directed by Rakesh Roshan, 1995 release Karan Arjun featured Salman and Shah Rukh Khan together, who were among the top actors of that time. Also starring Rakhee as their mother, the film featured Kajol and Mamta Kulkarni as the female leads.
Karan Arjun was a blockbuster.
One of the scenes of blockbuster Karan Arjun where Durga, played by Rakhee, says her sons (Karan and Arjun) will come back, was shot in the Mehboob Studio, the same place where Salman has shot for the inner wear ad.
"It (shooting for 'DixcyScott' ad) reminded me of Karan Arjun. I was shooting for Karan Arjun in Mehboob Studio and there was also the same ambience during my introduction scene in the film. It was the same (ambience for ad film) and I was reminded of the scene, Mere bete aayenge, Karan-Arjun aayenge, dharti ka seena phaadkar aayenge and then I enters the boxing ring," said Salman.
Salman is looking 'fit as a fiddle' in the ad, although he has put on some weight recently, but said: "I am just getting back into shape."
He added: "Arbaaz has the worst body among all of us (Salman, Sohail and Arbaaz) and Sohail is the fittest now."
Salman is currently busy shooting for Sohail's Mental.

Over the weekend, Yahoo! India hosted the 6th edition of Yahoo! Hack (21st worldwide) in Hyderabad to celebrate "unrestrained innovation". The 24 hour hackathon attracted two hundred and fifty participants including students as well as professionals, and received fifty six hack submissions. About 8% of attendants at the event were woman, which is a percentage point higher than last year's event at Bangalore.
While Yahoo! Hack didn't have the scale of Microsoft AppFest that was organized in Bangalore, it still managed to get quite a few decent hacks. The grand prize winner was a mobile app called PlanMan!, which enabled Workflow Management through SMS and Missed calls. It was developed by Varun Kumar Nagarajan, Arun Kumar Nagarajan, Raghu Ram, and Amit Bharti. Other prize winners included an app that could use the smartphone's accelerometer to automatically detect car accidents and alert emergency services, a travel app that could fetch info about real-time info about a train from a PNR number, an iOS app which offers users basic information about the city they are visiting like weather forecast, public transport, city hospitals, hotels and restaurants, Facebook friends who live in the city, and a finance app that claimed to use artificial intelligence to predict stock values.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – 19 Jun, 2017 – RTVI, Russian-language independent television network headquartered in the USA, has announced a global relaunch today. The channel, which positions itself as an alternative to Russia's state controlled TV, will now have revamped programming that includes new live political talk shows, quality entertainment content and expanded live news broadcasts.
"It is a whole new concept of international Russian TV that we are implementing. It is something that has never been done before in the ethnic Russian markets. RTVI's mission is to deliver riveting, timely and compelling news, public affairs and entertainment content to millions of Russian speakers around the world in their native language," said Alexei Pivovarov, RTVI's Chief Executive Producer.
Viewers can expect a new lineup of TV shows including "Zdes i Tam" – a live TV public affairs show linking studio guests in Washington and Moscow, "Karaoke s Parfenovym," – a music trivia show hosted by one of Russia's most respected journalists Leonid Parfenov, and "Shob Ya Tak El," – a reality TV cooking show featuring boisterous members of Russian-American community and celebrity chefs.
RTVI will also feature a new and improved schedule of entertainment programming with popular series like "Major," "Liquidatziya" and "Fartza", and feature films such as "Legend No. 17," "Turkish Gambit" and "Admiral."
In addition, RTVI is introducing a new digital platform, which provides multiple content subscriber entry points thus expanding reach to broader audiences. With an innovative Your Personal Host (YPH) system, news stories will be available to watch on demand – RTVI's star anchors and show hosts will tell the audience the latest. This option will add a personal touch to the news content and strengthen interpersonal communication between the channel and its viewers.
By RTVI's estimates, its potential audience can reach 50 million households worldwide in the next three years. By the end of 2018 RTVI management hopes to raise the number of its digital platform users to 15 million per month, which would allow RTVI to get into the top 5 most cited Russian media on the Internet.
Just last month RTVI announced an agreement with Verizon, which will allow FIOS customers to join 25 million RTVI viewers from around the globe and enjoy latest news, entertainment and public affairs programming in Russian language.

Bette Midler set for HBO's Phil Spector telefilm

Bette Midler is good casting for that role.

When I got that email I did not open it, I was in a hurry and just assumed she would play Ms Abramson! They certainly look more alike than any two non-related people could. Now I wonder about this movie....will it spend that much time on the trial? Baden was not part of the trial where the conviction happened. Maybe this is to be a mini-series?

After watching Linda Kinney Baden comment today on the Casey Anthony trial, I agree that Bette Midler is a good choice.

I read that Jeffrey Tambor has signed on to play Bruce Cutler. As far as physical characteristics, I see Tambor more suited for playing Judge Fidler.
One article I read stated that the movie would focus on the "relationship between Spector and Linda Kenney Baden". WT? . . .??? That is an odd angle (and relationship) to focus on, IMO. Hopefully Bette will give Ms LKB a little more "life" or else the viewers are going to fall asleep. I can't help but picture LKB up there during closing arguments, reading directly from her big 'ol 3-ring binder, droning on. Z-z-z-z.
Since the film seems to be centered around the 1st trial (most likely because there are certainly an abundance of interesting characters and events that took place the 1st go around - - and I can't imagine watching 2 hours of the Weinberg character tipping back in his chair while thumbing his lips non-stop), I'm wondering if they'll conclude with a hung jury and then cut to a small summation at the end - stating that PS was eventually found guilty at the 2nd trial. Or they'll just end it with a guilty verdict.
Perhaps Rachelle has here fingers crossed that she'll get asked to play herself in the film. You know she does have "acting" credits on her resume. With her radio gigs, music video, singing, wig styling, pilot, PI license, etc - she's a plethora of talent. I'm sure she'd love nothing better than to "hump" Al Pacino's leg for the cameras.
Thanks for the updates - "my 2 cents"
- May 25, 2011 at 10:51 AM

I think the producers would conclude that Rachelle looks to old to play herself.
Personally, I am not that interested in this production because I believe, from my memory, it was the screenwriter for this project....damn I can't think of who that is at the moment Sondr... something???? said he didn't pay attention to the trials, didn't watch the first trial on TV and thought Spector was "innocent."
To me, that's just irresponsible.

I recently read an article in the June 11 issue of Slate.com where Mr. Mamet gives an interview about Sarah Palin. During the beginning he does talk about his making of the PS movie. I knew he leaned towards his being NG, but I was shocked to read he felt PS wouldn't have been indicted if he was a regular citizen. I wonder if the Clarkson civil suit attorneys are keeping abreast of this movie? Even on the tiniest level since it could possibly air before a civil trial would take place? I can't imagine how their client's daughter is going to be either portrayed or spoken about in it.
Just a thought, instead of taking only an interest in showing PS relationship with Mrs. Baden he should take a few minutes and get to know the victim according to the laws and State of California Lana Clarkson.
I do worry how he will portray (if he does) the 1101B witnesses that were not only affected earlier in their lives as victims of PS pattern of behavior as established by the state, but who had to endure 2 trials and possibly a third civil trial. Then again maybe this is just a tender touching movie about LKB acting as his attorney and PS as her client!It seems kind of a waste of time to make such a movie on that subject alone.
Where can Mr. Mamet be getting his information from to make this movie with any accuracy or personal detail cncerning PS, LKB or Lana Clarkson?

I love losing myself in a good book. There's nothing better than becoming so engrossed in the characters or the plot that I can't go to sleep because I MUST find out what happens next. Give me the choice between reading a book or watching a movie/tv show and it's no contest - I would pick the book.
These days, my nights are filled with many more picture books and early chapter books than NY Times Bestsellers but I wouldn't have it any other way. The Oldest Diva and I had a bumpy course last year. She was a "reluctant" reader. I can't tell you how many games we played and how many different types of books we read, in the hopes that something would spark her interest. It worked!
We are now at the point where she picks up a book to read - for FUN! We are currently going through the Magic Tree House series together and she can't get enough of them.
Of course, it's now back to the drawing board with my current kindergartener. Luckily, I have an arsenal at my fingertips and she is more enthusiastic about reading.
With the holidays fast approaching, I thought it was the perfect time to share some of my favorite games, books and resources for budding readers. Hopefully, this list will help you and your budding reader.

1. A Boxed Set of their Favorite Series - I'm sure you have heard the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." If your child has a series they really enjoy reading, go with it. Capitalize on their interest and read all the books you can get your hands on. If they enjoy the characters, the illustrations and/or the author's writing - use it to your advantage to keep them engaged and turning the pages. There will be lots of time to expose them to different types of books and different authors. The most important thing is to nurture their desire to read, to encourage them to continue taking those steps to becoming a "reader" and NOT make it a chore.
A few of the Lil Divas FAVORITE series which would make great holidays gifts -
2. A Magazine Subscription - Even the most reluctant readers usually enjoy a fun magazine and it's a gift that keeps coming all year long.
3. uKloo: Early Reader Treasure Hunt Game - Kids find hidden clue cards as they hunt around the house - while reading! This is such a sneaky way to get kids reading as they play.
4. Sequence: Letters - A fun game that practices beginning letter sounds. This is great for younger readers (PK- early K).
5. Zingo Sight Words - My kindergartener loves to play this game. It combines learning and fun, in a way that makes learning sight words a breeze.
6. Snap It Up! - Kids love card games and this one is actually a great teaching tool. I used it all the time with my struggling readers and now I use it at home with my girls to practice reading, spelling & phonics skills.
7. Educational DVD's - There are lots of learning resources around but here are a few of our personal pavers.
8. Tag Reader - Both my girls have really enjoyed the Tag reader. They make reading fun and can foster reading comprehension skills with their interactive games.
9. A Tent - Provide a fun reading nook/space for your child to read in.
10. No space for a tent? How about a bean bag chair or something similar/comfy - that's what we have!

SHEFFIELD – An independent study of noise generated by a Sheffield wind project commissioned by the Vermont Department of Public Service found that noise levels from the turbines were below state limits outside the home of a family that felt their health was threatened.
The report said it was also unable to obtain adequate background noise readings at the Sheffield wind facility, owned by the company First Wind.
Nevertheless, the report "strongly suggests" that the facility was working within the limits placed on it by its state permit, known as a certificate of public good, said a letter to the Public Service Board by Christopher Recchia, the commissioner of the Department of Public Service.
Sheffield residents Steven and Luann Therrien, and their two pre-school-aged children, had argued the noise from the turbines was hurting their health.
The department said the testing by an independent consultant was warranted after receiving complaints last summer about the noise from the turbines.
The testing was done from December 19 to 21.
The Caledonian Record reports the Therriens felt the noise wasn't as bad during the testing and the consultant recommended that testing be done over a longer period of time.
The 16-turbine Sheffield operation went online in the fall of 2011.

Top 51 Kitchen Tips
Don't miss out on these essential tips from The Chew!
1. Use stainless steel pan if making an acidic pan sauce.
2. Use cast iron pan if charring meat without a sauce.
3. Cast iron with enamel good for sauces, too.
4. If you only buy one pan buy a stainless or cast iron pan with enamel.
5. Let raw protein (meat/poultry) sit at room temperature for minimum 30 minutes before cooking.
6. If time permits, season protein night before.
7. Salt makes meat more tender and juicy because it breaks down the cell structure.
8. Liberally salt both sides of non-processed meats.
9. Pan should be on high heat, then add fat (oil), so protein won't stick.
10. Let the protein cook for several minutes to caramelize.
11. Don't splash food into a hot oil pan!
12. If pan isn't hot enough, protein will leach juices into pan and won't stay in the meat.
13. Keep Tea Tree oil on hand for kitchen burns.
14. Hardy herbs like oregano, rosemary, marjoram should go in at start of cooking process.
15. Soft herbs like parsley, cilantro, mint, tarragon should go in after pan is off heat as they release oils quickly.
16. Wait until last minute to wash produce before use. Use light mixture of water and white vinegar.
17. Use what you were born with as tools: hands and senses.
18. When cooking pasta, remove from hot water and put in pan with sauce or other ingredients. Don't rinse.
19. Finish pan sauce with butter at the last minute for extra creaminess.
20. Use wine, stock or vinegar to deglaze protein bits in pan.
21. A splash of red wine vinegar can brighten a sauce.
22-26. Michael's thumb pad of palm test for meat doneness:
- Open palm = rare
- Forefinger to thumb = medium rare
- Middle finger to thumb = medium
- Ring finger to thumb = medium well
- Pinkie to thumb = well done (or "Michael's shoe")
27-31. Top must-have seasonings in pantry:
Daphne: oregano
Carla: thyme
Clinton: thyme
Mario: fennel pollen, hot chiles, black pepper
Michael: coriander, chili flakes, sea salt
32. Clean behind your fridge regularly.
33. Clean out the inside of fridge a few times each year.
34 - 41. Knife Skills 101
- Practice on an onion, all else will be easy.
- Routinely sharpen knives every couple of weeks or months.
- Hold knife at base of blade with thumb & forefinger, wrap 3 other fingers around handle. Hold free hand like claw, fingers curled under. Use as guide.
- Cut onion in half, top to root.
- Put flat cut side down, cut off each end, peel and slice across.
- To Dice: cut off top end only. Peel. Slice horizontally 9/10 of way from top toward root. Slice vertically from top toward root. Slice vertically across.
- Best to sharpen knives after each time you use them so they're always ready.
- Hold sharpening steel upright. At slight angle. Drag knife blade down and across steel, one one side of blade and then the other several times.
42. A metal dough cutter is best for cutting high rising biscuits.
43. "Weeping" is the cooking term that describes the separation of a liquid from a cooked meringue or custard.
44. Weeping is caused by improper beating of the egg whites, undissolved sugar, spreading the meringue on a cold filling, or over-baking.
45. Chicken parts can safely be kept in the freezer for up to 9 months
46. Eat and cook seasonally, especially in spring when things are just coming out of the garden.
47. Can put fresh soft herbs in the pot, but then replace them with fresh ones on serving.
48. Before serving, a drizzle of olive oil and squeeze of lemon will brighten the flavor and appearance of many dishes.
49. In Rome, cooked spring vegetables are cooked through, not blanched, for an olive green shade.
50. Cooked spring vegetables can be an afternoon snack or meal in under a half-hour for under $2 per serving.
And one more! Courtesy of Chew guest Marilu Henner.
51. Cut out dairy products if you want to lose weight.
