100 Years Ago Today: Chaos at the Republican Convention
The ascension of Mitt Romney, though drawn out, is boring by comparison to the Republican Convention of 1912. The June 21, 1912 issue of the The Times Dispatch devoted nearly the entire front page to the activities of the major parties in preparing for the November election. The headline declares "Beat to Frazzle, Roosevelt May Quit Republican Party." The previous evening in Chicago, former President Theodore Roosevelt spoke to the convention saying, "If the people want a progressive party, I'll be in it," and "I shall have to see if there is a popular demonstration for me to run." There were challenges to the credentials of delegates for Taft and Roosevelt, each seeking to advance their own candidate's interests.
Two articles describe the chaos of the day's events at the Republican Convention. One article describes that the official business at the meeting for the previous day lasting 5 minutes.… read more »

Jezebel Goad: Heroine of Hillsville
While the events of March 14, 1912 produced many villains, a notable heroine stands out. Jezebel Goad, the daughter of Deputy Dexter Goad, was in her father's office the day of the Allen hearing. When she heard gunshots, she ran to the courtroom to see what was going on. Without a thought, she fought her way through the gunfire to help her father and aid the wounded.
Goad's heroics were covered extensively in newspapers. The Lexington Gazette's account of August 7, 1912 read:
"Instead of fainting or leaving the scene when the firing began, Miss Goad sought to enter the courtroom to go to her father. To gain entrance she was obliged to pull from the doorway a man who barred the way. Then she reached her father, and seeing that he was not badly hurt, she helped the wounded and dying."
According to Jerry Leonard's Travesty of Justice, the Mount Airy News ran the following account of Jezebel Goad: "Of all the heroes you have read about in story and song none will measure up with Miss Jezebel Goad, the beautiful daughter who stood bravely by her father last Thursday. Talk about your women melting up pewter plates and carrying water from springs, when the men dared not go, all such stories took little by the side of what the Hillsville beauty did last Thursday when she saw her father in danger. She was in the clerk's office when the fight started and she rushed into the bullet ridden room as if she had not one thought for her own safety. . .of all the heroes who were that day brought to light none … read more »
100 Years Ago — Law and Disorder
This month marks the 100th anniversary of events surrounding the Allen family and the infamous "Hillsville Massacre." The sensational coverage and gripping photos of the characters and events surrounding the courtroom shooting captured America's imagination in 1912 and until the sinking of the Titanic a month later, the "Hillsville Massacre" took up a good deal of front page copy in newspapers across the country. In the coming days, to mark the anniversary, the Virginia Newspaper Project will feature entries on the events and people involved accompanied by front pages, articles and photos from newspapers in the collection of the Library of Virginia and from the digital newspaper resource, Chronicling America.
To find out more about the "Hillsville Massacre," please visit Out of the Box, the official blog of the Archives Division at the Library of Virginia.
The front pages shown below represent only a small sample of the newspapers that covered the story across the nation, many of them reporting on the massacre the same day it happened. These pages can be found at Chronicling America.
In 1912, Carroll County, Virginia was a sparsely populated Appalachian farming region with few modern conveniences. Located in the southwestern part of the state and bordering North Carolina, it had no paved roads and only a single phone line connecting Hillsville, its county seat, to nearby Galax, Virginia. Its remote location and lack of modern convenience made it a world unto itself. On March 14, 1912, however, tragedy propelled this small farming community into the national spotlight when Carroll County native Floyd Allen, a prominent businessman and large land owner, became the central character in a controversial courtroom shooting that left five dead and seven wounded.
Events leading up to the courtroom shooting had taken place more … read more »

Massacres are currently unfolding in Deraa and Homs.
As you read these words bear in mind that events continue tom unfold in the city of Deraa and Homs. Deraa, where we have more information at this stage, is currently under siege by new army units that seem to have been brought from Suweida City. Earlier reports of defections in the ranks of the army units already stationed in Deraa seem to have prompted this move, although the number of defectors seems to have been small, and many of them were shot by security forces loyal to Maher Al-Assad. We could be heading towards a major bloodbath anytime now. There is urgent need for an immediate international push to contain the situation before it escalates out of control. A strong message with warnings that violence would have major consequences needs to be sent to the Assads now, before it's too late. Already the death toll is said to be around 100, with more than 500 wounded, many of whom in serious condition.
The decision by the Assads to escalate their recourse to violence seems to have been premised on failure of talks that took place yesterday between Deraa's new security chief and local protests leaders. Protesters expressed clearly that their demand is regime change, and women threw old shoes on the security chief as he left the gathering with his escort.
Feeling that the tide is turning against them in other Syrian cities as well, with chants of "The People Want to Topple the Regime" being reiterated by protesters everywhere, and noticing that their many in the Alawite community are turning against them, as the recent inter-Alawite clashes in the town of Qneiseen demonstrate, the Assads might have felt that they need to set an example and remind all people that Hama Rules are still at play. The problem with this thinking is that the country is not as isolated as it was in 1982 and people today are not sorely relying on oral reports and rumors for information, there are videos and accurate timely reports pouring in from Deraa and all places where large protests are taking place, which combined with the peaceful character of the protests are serving to enrage people, rat her than intimidate, setting the grounds for expansion of the protest movement. Over 500,000 people were out in the streets of Syria today demanding freedom and chanting "The People Want to topple the Regime."
The day in Homs has also been bloody, but the reports are sporadic and do not yet convey enough details as to what transpired. What we know for sure is there are more fatalities today than before, and that protests took place in several locations and suburbs at once.
Banyas and Lattakia also witnessed major protests: the entire population seems to have hit the streets. In Qamishly and Amoudeh, the Kurds were out in droves proving that they want like all other Syrians, and not simply an end to the plight of the denaturalized among them. Hama, Alboukamal, Dirbassieh, Salamiyyeh, Dariyyah, Deir Ezzor, etc. all witnessed major protests. This is the nature of the Syrian Revolution so far, communities are rebelling individually, and alternative leadership structures are emerging in the form of popular committees in different communities. This is both the strength of this revolution, but also is Achilles Heel. With the bat of an eyelid, a number of massacres could take place simultaneously, and the death toll could be enormous. We could easily wake up one day to find out that hundreds if not thousands of unarmed civilians have been killed overnight. That day could be tomorrow. Urgent Action is needed now.
A larger report on today's events will follow.

Going from the gym to coffee with friends and stopping by the grocery store can all be done in the trendy, affordable and great fitting activewear from Coryvines.com.
We would like to introduce you to the new and extra fabulous www.fitandfabliving.com!
I absolutely love going to weddings! But the one that I'm attending next week is a little different. First of all, it's on a Friday which is a little strange for me. I've only been to weddings on Saturdays and Sundays. Since it's on a Friday, I have to take off work. The wedding is taking place in Michigan, so my boyfriend and I have to drive five long hours. The icing on the cake is that it's his friend getting married. I'm probably going to know maybe two people at the entire wedding, including my boyfriend. Should be lots of fun! Anyway, that doesn't change the fact that I still want to look awesome!

Actor Allu Arjun's upcoming Telugu actioner "Naa Peru Surya", in which he plays a military officer, started rolling from Wednesday.
According to a source from the film's unit, the principal shooting began here.
The film marks the first-time collaboration of Arjun and Vakkantham Vamsi, who is making his directorial debut.
Vamsi is known for his writing contribution to hit Telugu projects such as "Kick" and "Temper".
Arjun is currently undergoing month-long training with a US-based trainer to authentically look and play a military officer.
"He will work closely with a trainer to achieve the desired body for the role. As a military officer, he is expected to look a certain way and be extremely fit," a source close to Arjun said.

Betting Tip: Arsenal @ 4/5 with betfred
Arsenal are clearly a much better team with Alexis Sanchez and the Chilean made all the difference last weekend as the Gunners claimed a 2-1 victory at Selhurst Park.
Sanchez was given some time off following a successful Copa America campaign during the summer, although the forward has been itching to get involved and he headed home the winner against Crystal Palace via Damien Delaney's boot.
Now Arsenal have the chance to get things right at the Emirates, having been surprisingly beaten 2-0 at home to West Ham in their first game.
Arsene Wenger will demand total focus for this match, although it should be a game where Arsenal can come through with flying colours, especially with Sanchez looking lively and starting to return to full fitness.
Olivier Giroud will continue leading the line, with Aaron Ramsey likely to be part of an attacking trident featuring Mesut Ozil and Sanchez, while Santi Cazorla will sit deeper alongside Francis Coquelin.
Liverpool arrive full of confidence after back-to-back wins against Stoke and Bournemouth although this represents a far tougher assignment and the 1-0 victories can be filed under "hard-fought" rather than achieved with ease.
Jordan Henderson is an injury concern with a foot injury and Liverpool looked a little off the pace without their captain during the second half against the Cherries.
Christian Benteke is clearly a class act who will need close attention in attack, although there's an over-reliance on Philippe Coutinho for creativity and Arsenal can be confident of getting the better of their opponents during the ninety minutes.
Betting Tip: Arsenal @ 4/5 with betfred
All odds were correct at time of posting.

Joan experienced "far memory" her entire life. She was highly psychic and experienced precognitive and prophetic dreams. As a young girl she had a tendency to keep her "secrets" to herself. Joan was born into a wealthy family as the daughter of Jack and Blanche Marshall. Famous people often frequented the Marshall home. One of them was writer H.G. Wells who Joan met when she was sixteen years old. Joan felt comfortable enough with Wells to tell him some of her "secrets." Sympathizing with the young girl, Wells told her, "It is important that you become a writer." He further told her that she should continue to keep her secrets to herself until she was, "... strong enough to bear being laughed at by fools." There is an amusing story recalled by Grant in a biography about meeting Aleister Crowley while visiting America in 1914 when she was seven years old. It seems Crowley came to call on the family but was ordered to leave by Joan's mother after he made inappropriate gestures and threats to Joan's older stepsister whom he fancied. Joan's description of Crowley was that he looked like a "human toad."
Joan was able to recall in exact detail several other lives in Egypt, one as Ra-ab Hotep whose story appeared in two more books, Eye of Horus and Lord of the Horizon and another as a contemporary of Ramesses II. She also recalled lives in Greece in the second century BC, medieval England, and 16th century Italy as Carola di Ludovici a troupe singer who died at age 27. She remembered being burned as a witch, bleeding to death after ordering a court physician in early Rome to cut her wrists, dying from a severe wound to her eye during a joust, breaking her neck in a diving accident, committing suicide twice, dying from snake bites twice, dying from an infection following an insect bite and breaking her back after falling from a horse as a girl named Lavinia. Joan also made links between people she currently knew and people from the past. A family friend by the name of Daisy Sartorius was discovered to be Sekeeta's mother in the Egyptian lifetime which took place in the First Dynasty of Egypt about 3000 BC. Her third husband Denys Kelsey, a physician and psychiatrist, was the Roman physician who cut her wrists in the Roman era. Denys and Joan later shared a life as husband and wife in 18th century England. Denys Kelsey was inexplicably drawn to meet Joan Grant after reading Winged Pharaoh.
Before Joan met Denys Kelsey, she had received extensive psychiatric training working with a psychiatrist during the war years. This knowledge would become invaluable to Denys Kelsey who had begun to use hypnosis as healing tool. He believed that the use of hypnosis combined with Joan's knowledge of reincarnation and ability to resonate with the past lives of others would be invaluable in curing those who suffered from trauma induced fears and phobias. Joan knew from her own experience that many irrational fears were based on emotions that were "throwbacks" to previous lifetimes. Together they surmised that once the cause of fears and anxieties were identified and understood from the past life perspective they could be brought into consciousness where they could be integrated and thus diffused. Since Joan was able to psychically "tap in" to others so it was unnecessary for the patient to relive former traumatic experiences which made recovery much easier. Together they helped many people but at the same time were in full cognizance that the procedure, "...wasn't for everyone." Together they collaborated on the book Many Lifetimes. Other books written by Joan Grant are Far Memory, Time Out of Mind, Life as Carola, Scarlet Feather, Return to Elysium, So Moses was Born, Many Times, Vague Vacation (travel), A Lot to Remember (travel), The Scarlet Fish (children's book), Redskin Morning (children's book), and The Laird and the Lady (fiction).
A review of Joan Grant's natal chart certainly validates her amazing abilities and talents. Joan's Sun and Moon were conjunct in the sign of Aries in the 11th house basically defining her as an initiator and groundbreaker. The evolutionary planet Pluto is closely conjunct the Ascendant in the sign of Gemini, the sign of writing. According to astrologer Ada Muir in her book The Degrees of the Zodiac Analyzed, Pluto at 22º (rounded off) Gemini means, "One who obtains recognition through literature."
She further states that the Ascendant at 23º (rounded off) Gemini pertains to one who, "will study mysticism as a solution to later problems." Pluto so closely conjunct the Ascendant not only says volumes about the magnetism of Joan's personality and projection onto others but also strongly relates to her ability to "tap in" to past lives.
When Pluto resides in the occult 12th house, it can signify the ability to regenerate the unconscious mind by bringing buried issues or "secrets" into consciousness. People with this placement often have interest in psychology or occultism. Clairvoyant capacities and psychic insight are often second to none. There can exist uncanny prowess to telepathically "tune into" others and in Joan's chart, this provides evidence that she was indeed able to transcend intervals of time in order to not only be able to relive her own past lives but also the specific past lives of those in anxious states due to past life trauma. Pluto energy operating through the auspices of Gemini signifies "breakthrough" discoveries and Joan's regression work with her psychiatrist husband was certainly considered advanced during the years they were in practice. Pluto in Gemini in the 12th house is also significant of one who has a good imagination and this trait shines brightly in Joan's various writings.
Can we access that Joan Grant was destined to write about reincarnation? Mercury, her planet of writing, in the sign of Pisces conjunct Saturn (the Lord of Karma), square Pluto, intercepted in the 10th house of Career and trine the North Node (Destiny) certainly confirms this. Further, the South Node at Anaretic degree (expertise) in Capricorn in the 8th House of Death in an out of sign conjunction with the 9th House (published writing) cusp also at Anaretic degree clearly implies one whose writings will center on occult matters pertaining to the penetration of the mysteries of death and the hereafter. The South Node in Capricorn in the 8th house traditionally has very mystical leanings. It is believed by some that those with such a placement will pass through the Capricorn Gate of Death where the Soul is judged based upon its human performance as designated by 8th House designs. The Nodal axis straddling the 2nd-8th Houses in the signs of Cancer/Capricorn implies secrets from past incarnations that are carefully guarded and the need to present the "Self" with dignity in the current lifetime. According to Muir, the South Node in Capricorn at 29º (rounded off) indicates, "Given the same conditions the same results are likely to recur." Joan carried her Egyptian training along with her through many lifetimes before finding a lifetime to make her ability public. Does the placement of her Nodal Axis indicate the right circumstances and comic pressure to bring it all about in her Joan Grant lifetime? It certainly does seem so! It is further interesting to note that the sign of Capricorn on the 8th House cusp traditionally implies one who lives to an old age. Joan Grant died in 1989 at age 81.
Very obvious in Joan's chart are the numerous "pairs" of planets and points working together via conjunction. Along with the Pluto/Ascendant coupling are: Sun conjunct Moon, Chiron conjunct the Midheaven, Mercury conjunct Saturn, Mars conjunct Uranus, and Jupiter conjunct Neptune.
The Sun/Moon coupling often refers to one who is willful and creative where their "Selfhood" is involved. Emanating from the sign of Aries, Joan's tendency would be to focus her energies in a single area of expression. The "Lights" emanating from the 11th House also put emphasis on Joan's aspirations and her friendships and associations. Her friends were an integral part of her support system. The "far memory" of the life of Sekeeta first occurred while vacationing at the home of her dear friend Daisy Sartorius. The Moon in this pair is involved in a T-Square configuration as the apex of the Uranus/Neptune opposition. As the opposition involves two angular houses the intuitive sensitivity provided by the awareness of the Uranian and Neptunian energies filtered through the Moon becomes paramount. Joan probably knew at an early age that her gift should be honed carefully because she was very aware that through her astral experiences she could not only be subject to harmful energies but destructive ones as well. The T-Square also describes her as a psychic pioneer who was unwilling to choose sides in any religious, political or social mores of the day. She was in many ways, a rebel with a cause.
In addition to what has been mentioned previously about the Mercury and Saturn pair, this planetary relationship refers to a scientific mind. Foresight is a gift of this pair so in a sense Joan had total movement to "look" both forward and backward. Saturn, the Lord of Karma rules the occult 8th House of Death in her chart so more emphasis is thrown on the unearthing of hidden occult matters and detective work involving the matters of life and death, and reincarnation. As the Mercury/Saturn pair is intercepted in the 10th house of Career and Reputation, the publishing of her first book about reincarnation around the time of her first Saturn Return is appropriate.
Mars is conjunct Uranus in the sign of Capricorn in the 7th House of relationships and it opposes the Jupiter/Neptune in Cancer pair in the 1st House of Self. Aside from the implication of even more psychic ability, Joan is characterized as someone who suffered from "mysterious" neurosis and one who was very opinionated. This is true of Joan for she struggled with a phobia regarding snakes that she was only able to overcome after she recognized it as residual fear from two past lives where she died from snake bites. She was also strong in her conviction about reincarnation which surely antagonized those who were caught up in the religious standards of that time. Uranus in the 7th house traditionally refers to one who is married several times and Joan was married three times. The Mars/Uranus pair also lets us know that she did not like to be told what to do particularly by a mate. There are no retrograde planets in Joan's chart which equates to "what you see is what you get" and this plays into her Arien nature which coveys the same message.
Chiron conjunct the Midheaven is absolutely the marker of a metaphysician. Chiron also trines her Ascendant/Pluto and sextiles her Moon. For Joan, metaphysics couldn't have been an easier life's work!

The Meeting of Failures
The Meeting of Failures, Act I, London is the first part of a projected trilogy engaging with extended adolescence, misdirected ambition, authenticity, hipster politics and the politics of hipsters. It follows the narrator Francis as he seeks to escape the nihilistic bubble of contemporary East London by winning over the enigmatic Savannah Palace.
The book is interpreted and illustrated by emerging photographers from London, most notably Rasha Kahil. The printing was done using a Risograph, and the book is section-stitched with hand-foiling on the six-page cover. It was collectively written under the name Francis and published by Everyone Agrees.
Francis is a micro-collective unto himself. He appropriates liberally from Jacques Rancière, Slutever, Iain Sinclair, Michèle Bernstein and lots of people he can't recall. He is currently based in London and New York.
Everyone Agrees was created in London in the winter of 2009. The Meeting of Failures is their first project and encapsulates a combination of will, utter pointlessness, and an all-pervasive sense of repetition that they recognised in the air and found attractive. The Meeting of Failures, Act II will be out in Winter 2011 and Act III will follow in Spring 2012. Act I can be purchased on their website.

Oss fought his way across the line 4:15 after winner Luca Paolini (Katusha Team) soloed out of a select group with six kilometers to go in the 239.1-km race. Oss had been riding in a group of six that was chasing solo Jurgen Roelandts (Lotto Soudal) but lost contact on the second of two trips up the climb of the Kemmelberg.
Teammate Michael Schär crashed heavily and was taken to a nearby hospital for examination. Nothing was broken, but the past Swiss national road champion has a shoulder injury, said BMC Racing Team Sporting Manager Allan Peiper.
Only 39 riders finished the race, including three others from the BMC Racing Team: Jempy Drucker (16th), Manuel Quinziato (31st) and Greg Van Avermaet (36th).

The case is about a $175 million program that authorizes the government to compensate insurers for reducing out-of-pocket expenses for policy holders.
A federal court judge on Thursday handed House Republicans a victory in their lawsuit against a provision of the Affordable Care Act that funnels government money to insurance companies to reimburse them for keeping out-of-pocket expenses low for policyholders.
U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer, based in Washington, D.C., said the reimbursements, or subsidies, were unconstitutional because they weren't authorized by Congress. Collyer stayed her decision in order to let the Obama administration appeal the ruling, so it won't have an immediate effect on the law.
The case is about a $175 million program that authorizes the government to compensate insurers for reducing out-of-pocket expenses for policy holders. House Republicans said those payments were never authorized by the Congress, and thus, were unconstitutional.
The administration argued that the money could be distributed anyway. In her opinion, Collyer wrote, "It cannot." She further wrote, "None of the Secretaries' extra-textual arguments – whether based on economics, 'unintended' results or legislative history – is persuasive. The Court will enter judgment in favor of the House of Representatives and enjoin the use of unappropriated monies to fund reimbursements due to insurers."
The administration is expected to appeal Thursday's ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
The ACA has withstood numerous legal challenges over the years, which have resulted in two favorable rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court. The first challenged the fees, or penalties, the law imposes on people who don't buy health insurance. The Supreme Court ruled that the penalties were taxes, and not fees.
A second case challenged the constitutionality of premium subsidies paid to lower income people under the law.
In New Mexico in 2015, 68 percent of the 55,000 people who bought individual ACA policies were eligible for subsidies.

Their choice will help shape the trajectory of the Catholic Church, which has seen significant global demographic shifts over the past century, as well as tensions about the role of tradition and modern culture. In his latest column for Figuring Faith, his Washington Post blog, PRRI CEO Dr. Robert P. Jones tackles the difficult question of what American Catholics want from the new pope.

Mumbai: Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan says his upcoming film 'Bang Bang' may be a remake of Hollywood movie 'Knight and Day' but the action thriller has its own elements which will make it very new to the audience. The 40-year-old actor has donned an action hero avatar in the Siddharth Anand-directed movie, which was portrayed by Tom Cruise in the original movie.
"Only the thought of 'Knight and Day' is there in 'Bang Bang' otherwise it is a complete new film. If you are not aware of the comparison then it will never occur to you while watching 'Bang Bang'," Hrithik said during the launch of 'Bang Bang' game.
The actor says when Siddharth offered him the film, he instantly said yes to the project because he loved the idea of the character which is cool and fun.
"I said yes to the film in 5 seconds. The single most important reason for me doing this film is the idea. I always wanted to do a film like this. Before I spoke to Siddharth, I had watched 'Knight and Day' on a flight. And I told myself I want to do a film like this which is cool and fun.
"Post 'Dhoom 2', I had not done anything closer. I was very keen to start this film," he said. In the trailer of the movie, Hrithik is seen doing some daredevil stunts while on a bike, jet-skiing and fly-boarding.
When asked if he finds doing action scenes difficult, the 'Krrish 3' star said that the stunts are challenging for sure but he maintains his cool while performing them. "It has been 15 years since I am doing this. It is challenging and tough but practice makes you perfect. While doing it one should be very careful and focused. It's a calculated risk. It's always in your mind. When you conquer your fear that is a very accomplished feeling. I loved conquering that fear," he said.
In 'Bang Bang', Hrithik is reuniting with his 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' co-star Katrina Kaif and their sizzling chemistry is already making waves. "Chemistry is always on the paper. It's a vision of a director. You have to be inspired about the love story. When two honest actors read the script they can create that chemistry on-screen. Katrina is very hard working and a go-getter. She will go all the way to get whatever she wants to achieve and that is very commendable," Hrithik said.
The actor also said that his two sons- Hrehaan and Hridhaan- love the teasers of 'Bang Bang' and are looking forward to the release of the movie. "They are at the right age and have started liking my film. Probably for the first time right from teaser to the songs my sons have really liked the film. I am very proud and happy that they have liked it. It's a very special feeling," he said.
'Bang Bang', which also stars Danny Denzongpa and Jaaved Jaffrey, will hit theatres on October 2.

Posted on 03/08/2008 12:24:54 PM PST by Sub-Driver
Bill Clinton: Hillary-Obama Ticket Would Be "Almost Unstoppable Force" By Greg Sargent - March 8, 2008, 3:00PM
Now Bill Clinton is saying it. Here he is, floating the idea of a joint Hillary-Obama ticket at a town-hall meeting today in Mississippi:
"She said yesterday and she said the day after her big wins in Texas and Ohio and Rhode Island that she was very open to that and I think she answered explicitly yes yesterday," Clinton began, referring to Hillary's own answers on the topic in recent days.
"I know that she has always been open to it, because she believes that if you can unite the energy and the new people that hes brought in and the people in these vast swaths of small town and rural America that shes carried overwhelmingly, if you had those two things together she thinks itd be hard to beat. I mean you look at the, you look at the, you look at the map of Texas and the map in Ohio. And the map in Missouri or -- well Arkansass not a good case because they know her and she won every place there.
"But you look at most of these places, he would win the urban areas and the upscale voters, and she wins the traditional rural areas that we lost when President Reagan was president. If you put those two things together, youd have an almost unstoppable force."
(Excerpt) Read more at tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com ...
I predicted that this would be the outcome of all of this, it is all orchestrated, and set up to be the downfall of a free America. Put in a GOP candidate with issues, and then tag team him to defeat, and socialism is the vict-or.....
iow, "Get in the back of the bus boy, if you wanna ride with us white folks!"
That's real gracious of her, considering she's BEHIND in the election. What arrogance!
Now why does that sound like a threat?
In another word, get to the back of the bus, it's not your time!
The old "vote for me and my wife and you'll end up getting the guy you really want" ploy. Of course, we'd never see or hear from Obama again for at least 8 years if the Rats are dumb enough to fall for this.
Klintons are an unstoppable force that Obama could have stopped.......
I just saw Bill Klinton's highlights on Fox, campaigning in Misissippi.
With eyes welling up, he says, In all the States Hillary couldn't complete because she didn't have the MONEY, she still won the Veterans vote because they know she cares about them.
The guy is pulling in Millions and hiding the income by not releasing tax returns, and they have been raking in money all their lives, and donated 5 million to the campaign, and somehow STILL MANAGES to portray himself and his wife as VICTIMS. UNDERDOGS. POOR. Fighting against "The Man".
Try and beat that in General Election.
"hillary and Obama would make a great team" - Bill Clinton
"Then I think an Obama / Clinton ticket would work!" - Barack Obama
"NO HE DIDN'T GODD@MN SAY THAT!" - Hillary Clinton
Obama should simply say she should agree to run with him, or some comment about it being too late for the African American to be relegated to the #2 spot when he's in the lead.
What a crock....what an imbicile you have to be to fall for this crap.
I'd love to see how much the grifters reported as charitable donations on their tax returns.
More like an offer he can't refuse.
Keep talking, Bubba. America is so wise to you and wifey's scheme. How I wish he was a guest tomorrow on the Sunday shows suggesting this.
3rd comment left on that site..
"But. But. But. Didn't Senator Clinton say that Obama had not crossed the "threshold"? How is it that someone with the "experience" of Senator Clinton would put an "inexperienced" man like Obama one heart beat away from that 3AM red phone call?"
He has more delegates, so why settle for #2?
He's smarter than to take her as HIS # 2. Can you say Arkancide?
If Obamma Lamma Ding Dong chose Mrs. Clinton as his V.P he would always be looking over his shoulder wondering when he was going to blow up.
If Obamma Lamma Ding Dong ran as her V.P. he'd be like a lost puppy dog like algore was as Bill and Hills V.P.
He isn't that big a fool.
The audacity of dope.
Exactly. Her talking appendage is really cracking me up!
Run Hillaryous Run!

What is Netflix?
Netflix is an online film service that can stream straight to your TV and mobile devices. It was originally founded in 1997 as a postal film service, from which customers could rent DVDs for a monthly fee. It started streaming films over the internet in 2007, and the company is now market leader with over 25m members. For the UK, the website claims that Netflix will offer "as many films and TV episodes as you want" instantly over the internet. It's unlikely that it will launch the DVD rentals over here – since that area is already dominated by Amazon's Lovefilm.
How does streaming work?
Streaming means that you can watch the films and TV programmes in real time over the internet. This means that there's no need to download files onto your computer or device in order to watch later and you can watch your film instantly. It's essential that you have an internet connection and an internet-ready device that Netflix is compatible with.
What devices will support it?
Gamers will be happy – predictions are that you'll be able to stream Netflix via the Wii, Xbox, 360 and PS3 as well as set-top boxes such as Apple TV, and enabled TVs from Philips, Samsung and Vizio. When Google TV was launched in 2010, it had a built-in application for Netflix streaming. Mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPad and more recently, some Android phones, support a Netflix app.
What are the benefits?
You will be able to watch films instantly, and pause and restart at will. Recent reports indicate that Netflix has been aggressive in negotiating for film rights. For its customers, this may mean access to the latest films and a wide variety of blockbusters, old and new.
How much is it?
Netflix hasn't released details of its price plans, but its website says that customers will pay a monthly fee for the film service. In the US, Netflix lost 800,000 US subscribers in the last quarter due to a price hike, but it has kept the price and currently charges $7.99 per month for unlimited access. There are rumours that the UK price may be set at £5 per month, which would be very competitive (Lovefilm's cheapest package is £5.99 for 2 hours of streaming and 3 discs a month).
What other options are available at the moment?
Lovefilm is the closest competitor and has a loyal following in the UK. It not only offers physical DVDs, Blu-rays and video game rentals, but also streams films and TV programmes. It is also built into Smart TV systems (Sony and Samsung), Sony Playstation 3 and PCs. Other film rental options are from Apple iTunes (from any device that runs iTunes), and Acetrax (through Panasonic, LG and Samsung TVs). YouTube will also be launching its film streaming service via the YouTube channel.
What about TV on-demand?
Broadcasters and Cable TV providers including Sky, Virgin and BT are increasingly offering on-demand services. PictureBox is a subscription service owned by NBC Universal, and FilmFlex – part of Virgin Media's on demand service and a joint venture between Sony and Disney – is constantly updated with blockbusters and it has a library of over 1,000 films. Sky Anytime is an on-demand service that holds 500 movies at any one time. Those who subscribe to the Sky Movies channels get it free. BT's effort is Film Club which has films from Picturebox and Warner, Sony and Film 4.
What can you do now?
Registration for Netflix has opened for those interested. Visit signup.netflix.com/global.

JavaFX – Wizard UI
March 23, 2010 7 Comments
This demonstrates implementation of simple wizard user interface using a combination of Container, Button and bind.
To launch click on above image or
I have a main Container – Wizard. This has the navigation buttons and a sequence of Containers – WizardPanel, which contains the user interface for each panel. A variable selectedIndex in Wizard keeps track of currently shown panel. Variable selectedPanel holds the instance of selected panel. A new panel instance is set to this variable when index is updated. The node is bound to content so as to update UI when a new panel is set. Disabled state of "Back" and "Next" button is set dynamically using bind with selectedIndex.
The panels in demo uses a series of SVG images – Duke, Lamborghini and Tiger. Its converted into FXZ format using JavaFX Production Suite – SVG Converter and ofcourse the text is from wikipedia
Please try it out and let me know feedback..

Harry Styles' producer compares young star to Mick Jagger
- Bang Showbiz
- 13 May 2017
Harry Styles' producer says the star reminds him of Sir Mick Jagger and his chemistry with guitarist Mitch Rowland is similar to that of Mick and Keith Richards
Harry Styles' producer says the star reminds him of Sir Mick Jagger.
Although Jeff Bhasker - who worked with Harry on his eponymous solo album - wants the star to be seen as his own person rather than fostering previous comparisons with the Rolling Stones frontman, he admitted that the pair have a number of similarities.
He told Variety: "I want to squash all these comparisons between Mick Jagger and Harry, but he really does have that energy where he's, like, the coolest guy in the room. After working with Mick, there's a similarity there. There's only one Mick Jagger and there's only one Harry Styles, but they both have that kind of charisma. It's like what life should be - be cool, man. Love one another."
He also revealed that Harry's chemistry with his guitarist Mitch Rowland is similar to that of Mick and Keith Richards.
He said: "He started playing references of what he wanted to do, which sounded like a cool rock band. I got it, and could see where if we pulled this off, it would be one of the coolest things ever. But he needed a buddy who plays guitar like he's Keith Richards."
Jeff added to the New York Post: "Mitch is kind of like the Keith Richards to Harry's Mick Jagger. That type of dynamic between the lead guitar player and the singer needs to exist for the type of music Harry wants to do."
And Jeff - who has worked with Kanye West and Mark Ronson - is hugely proud of Harry for being so "brave" and honest with his album.
He said: "I'm so proud of the album itself, and also of Harry for being so brave, and committing 100 per cent, and writing the kind of vulnerable lyrics that he wrote, and not pandering to what people thought he would do. People have no idea that this is what Harry Styles is like. Just like I didn't know. He's obviously very famous and beloved, but people don't know the depths of what an amazing personality and artist he is."

Nashville, we are not on the same page
Last year at BarCamp Nashville, I participated on a panel about the different technology communities in Nashville. A reoccurring issue that was raised was the miscommunication between different tech event planners. One thing we can never complain about is finding something to do socially in Nashville – there's never a dull moment!
Kate O'Neill and I left the panel chatting about the communication conundrum. We agreed that someone should create a calendar to aggregate all of the events, so that there is one calendar that we can all subscribe to. Using Google Calendar I created the calendar and called it Nashville Technology Calendar (yes, I've used the word "calendar" far too many times in this post).
I explained here that anybody who wanted to have admin access to the calendar, so they could add their events, would be granted access. No big deal, right? The thing is, not everybody agreed or were able to find a simple way to add their events.
Yesterday, I learned that Nashcocktail, an event I organize each month, was conflicting with Scott McIntosh's Nashville Tech Meetup Group, which I would have loved to attend, especially since Mitch Canter was leading it. I had no idea the event was taking place until John Ellis pointed it out to me.
Managing a calendar is not something I want to be responsible for
I only made the calendar to make it easier for our community to know what's going on, so that we don't conflict with each other. There's nothing I want more than Nashville to be recognized across the world as the technology hub that it is. Visiting and local geeks should be able to easily find something fun to do.
I'm open to other options to create and manage a calendar. Any takers? Any advice on how we can all be on the same page for once? I'm open to your ideas.

Could you describe the genesis of The 6th Lamentation? How does you own
family history relate to the novel?
The novel springs from two sources. The first is personal. During the occupation of Holland my mother was part of a group who tried to smuggle Jewish children to safety. She was caught and imprisoned. The memory of what the Nazis did lay fresh upon her for the rest of her life. She talked little about her own experience, but always with a charged brevity. I wanted to write a memorial to her and that terrible time. The second source is rather prosaic. For a long time I had thought that a former lawyer who had become a monka natural blend of the practical and the reflectivewould make an interesting character in fiction, especially if he was a person of faith who understood the troubled questions of today without possessing any trim answers. The novel grew from bringing together these two streams of interest.
As someone who left the monastery to become a lawyer, do you now see issues of justice more in terms of their legal or their theological implications? Or is it impossible to separate the two?
I cannot separate them. Or perhaps I should say the imperative to implement ...

Counting steps is Good. What about Sunshine Goals for Health?
Even though vitamin D can be made in skin exposed to sunshine, vitamin D insufficiency is a global health concern. Normal serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations can usually be achieved by exposing arms and face to sunshine for 15-20 minutes daily. Clothing, use of sunscreens, skin color, geographical location (near the equator or the poles of the earth) and time of day also affect vitamin D synthesis.
Mazahery and colleagues examined serum 25(OH)D3 status of Middle Eastern women living in New Zealand. Two monthly prescription supplementation regimens, 50,000 and 100,000 IU vitamin D3, were evaluated. Despite the fact that 21% were already being prescribed vitamin D by their physician and 37% were using a multivitamin containing vitamin D, mean serum 25(OH)D3 concentration (Part I) was <20 nmol/L in 48% of subjects at baseline. Serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations were higher in vitamin D supplement users (31 nmol/L) than non-users (20 nmol/L) (P < 0.005).
Dose-response curves in serum 25(OH)D3 concentration were measured over the 6 month supplementation period. Only ~30% of subjects achieved serum vitamin D concentrations above 75 nmol/L with 50,000 IU vitamin D monthly. 95% and 100% were > 50 nmol/L after 50,000 IU and 100,000 IU orally per month, respectively.
According to the Institute of Medicine DRI, serum 25(OH)D3 levels must be at least 50 nmol/L to be 'sufficient". In a review of multiple health outcomes, Bischoff-Ferrari and colleagues concluded 75 nmol/L is the desirable concentration for optimal health.
Vitamin D deficiency causes rickets, and unfortunately persists even in the U.S. Sunshine State (FL) (and other regions of the world). Although US regulations restrict fortification to 100 IU per 8 ounces, the major dietary source is still vitamin D-fortified dairy and orange juice. Since most people do not consume 6 glasses a day, or eat other vitamin D-rich foods such as fatty fish, supplementation is the primary dietary option.

A new dispute has broken out in the prosecution of the embassy bombings in Africa over the Government's refusal to allow a defendant to make a phone call to a Muslim leader in Arlington, Tex.
The defendant, Wadih el Hage, a naturalized American citizen who had lived in Arlington, had asked to speak to the imam of a mosque there in the hope that other members of the congregation would contribute to his bail.
But a Federal prosecutor told Judge Leonard B. Sand of Federal District Court in Manhattan last week that the Government ''has specific concerns'' about the imam, Moataz Al-Hallak, who leads the Islamic Society of Arlington.
Prosecutors did not elaborate about those concerns in court and declined comment after the hearing.
The dispute comes amid a debate about the restrictive conditions under which the suspects are being held in New York. Mr. el Hage and his codefendants are imprisoned in the Metropolitan Correctional Center under a rarely used rule that allows officials to strictly limit an inmate's contacts to prevent future ''acts of violence and terrorism.''
Under the provision, officials may segregate inmates and restrict their mail, visits, phone calls and interviews with the news media. The Government may take the action when it believes there is substantial risk that an inmate's communications ''could result in death or serious bodily injury,'' the rule says.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Al-Hallak, who has not previously been mentioned in the case or been charged with any crime, said the Government's concerns were baseless.
He said he had no idea ''what they are talking about.'' Reached by phone last week, Mr. Al-Hallak said his mosque was religious and educational, and that he condemned violence. ''We are just people focusing on a humble mission.''
Mr. Al-Hallak said that Mr. el Hage was well liked in their community and that he found the allegations against him difficult to accept.
''El Hage, as far as we know, is 100 percent innocent,'' Mr. Al-Hallak said. ''But if it is proven that he is guilty, we're the first to condemn this action. But you cannot start dealing with people as the Communist countries used to, that everybody is guilty until he is proven innocent.''
In court last Tuesday, Mr. el Hage's lawyer, Bruce McIntyre, told Judge Sand that if the phone call was permitted, it would be in English and that he expected it to be monitored by the authorities.
Prosecutors have refused to specify their concerns, so it is impossible to know precisely what they fear might happen if Mr. el Hage speaks with the imam. But the language of the rule suggests that they believe Mr. el Hage might try to pass along a coded message.
In court records, prosecutors have asserted that Mr. el Hage is deeply involved in a terrorist organization led by Osama bin Laden, the Saudi exile suspected of organizing the embassy attacks in August.
Mr. el Hage, whom prosecutors describe as the former personal secretary to Mr. bin Laden, has been indicted on charges that he conspired with Mr. bin Laden to kill Americans abroad, and that he lied to Federal investigators.
In one document, the Government accused Mr. el Hage of ''acting as a front for a terrorist organization.''
Mr. el Hage has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
One clue to the Government's position may lie in the extradition papers the United States has filed against another suspect in Britain.
That suspect, Khalid al-Fawwaz, has been accused of helping to disseminate Mr. bin Laden's calls for attacks on Americans around the world. In the extradition papers, the Government has included international phone records that, they say, belong to Mr. al-Fawwaz and show how he spread Mr. bin Laden's message around the world. One 1995 call went to the Arlington mosque.
Mr. Al-Hallak, who said he has been at the mosque 12 years, said he had never heard of Mr. al-Fawwaz, and did not remember such a call. ''Even if he called our organization, by itself, it doesn't mean anything,'' he said.
In court last week, Mr. McIntyre said Mr. el Hage wanted to speak with Mr. Al-Hallak merely to assure him that he would return to court if freed on bail.
But with the Government opposing bail on any terms, Judge Sand seemed disinclined to allow the phone call.
''There is no point in having some broad petition submitted to members of the congregation of the mosque'' if the exercise is not going to be meaningful, Judge Sand said. It would ''just raise false expectations,'' he said.
''This is not a typical case,'' he added, ''and the Government has made known its concerns with respect to communications.''
Mr. McIntyre said after the court hearing that he planned to seek bail for Mr. el Hage, even without the phone call. He contends that Mr. el Hage has strong ties to Arlington: he had worked in a tire shop there, his family still lived there and he had helped out in the mosque.
''He's precisely the type of person who should be given bail,'' Mr. McIntyre said.Continue reading the main story

text: As soon as I started using the G5, I noticed that doing simple things like just having mail.app, iTunes, Safari and AIM open will constantly make the processor use at 80-95%. On my dual 1 GHz G4, having the same programs open would use 20-40% of both processors... rarely would I ever see it go up to 80%, even with major apps like final cut pro active. so I did some xBench tests... Here's the raw data: 1.8 GHz G5 900 MHz bus 120 GB 7200 HD 512 MB DDR RAM Dual 1 GHz G4 (Quicksilver) 167?

Graph of G4 vs the G5 in the setting I would use most (admin, highest): What is the "thread test" and why does my G5 suck badly at it? Here's a graph showing the differences in slew settings Will buying 2 512 MB sticks, for a total of 1 GB extra RAM help my G5 significantly? Although I like my new computer, it doesn't seem as fast as I thought it would've been. I would've bought the 2.0 GHz G5, but that's just $500+ more (edu. discount) that I really can't afford to spend.

The Health Care Law Fails To Address Rising Costs
Tomorrow, the Supreme Court is expected to deliver its ruling on the constitutionality of President Obama's health care law. Whatever the court decides, it is clear to see that the president's plan is not working. Americans who already had health insurance coverage have continued to see their premiums dramatically increase each year, and those without coverage are being forced to buy more insurance than they actually need or can afford.
Justice Samuel Alito pointed out in arguments on March 27 that average, healthy young adults- the demographic the administration claims the law will help the most- could actually end up paying much more than they did before the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. Justice Alito made the point that "a young, healthy individual targeted by the mandate consumes about $854 in health services each year," but noted that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that the average premium for a single insurance policy would be roughly $5,800 in 2016. This is a prime example how the government requiring an individual to buy health insurance does nothing to drive down the actual cost of care and could actually end up costing the patient more money.
As a physician, most people I've seen over the years are satisfied with the quality of the care they receive, but they do not like the cost. They want to be able to receive the care they need at an affordable price, without unnecessary interference from insurance companies and government bureaucrats. In America, we provide the best quality health care in the world. It's time we make that quality care affordable to everyone who wants to take advantage of it.
The system before the health care law was working for 80 percent of all Americans. We had a great opportunity to extend coverage to the uninsured in an affordable, commonsense way that kept our individual liberties intact; however, the health care law fell short. We now have a great responsibility to repeal this flawed law and make quality health insurance more affordable. We can do this by improving portability and giving patients more ownership of their policies, ensuring doctors and patients are in charge of making medically-necessary decisions, and eliminating the insurance industry's ability to profit by avoiding the sick.
Regardless of what the Supreme Court rules tomorrow, we must take a hard look at the law and address its flaws. I strongly believe the best way to do this would be to start from scratch and work in a bipartisan way toward real, commonsense health care reform. Just this Congress, I have voted with House Republicans thirty times to repeal all or parts of the health care law but the Senate has not acted on these efforts. I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to ensure Americans have the access to affordable health care coverage that they deserve.

There's a fight brewing over one Michigan delegate to the Republican National Convention this summer. The state Republican Party has awarded both of Michigan's at-large delegates to Mitt Romney – despite the fact that Rick Santorum was a close runner-up in the popular vote.
Former state Attorney General Mike Cox sits on the Michigan Republican credentials committee and he supports Mitt Romney. But he says this decision was unfair, and the G-O-P should stick to the rules as they were the night of the state's presidential primary.
"It does kind of resound of third world countries," Cox says.
A spokesman for Rick Santorum's campaign says the decision calls into question the –quote – "legitimacy" of Michigan's GOP leadership. Santorum says the statewide vote was close enough that he and Romney should each get a Michigan at-large delegate. Romney and Santorum evenly split Michigan's congressional districts and the delegates that go with them.
The state Republican Party says there was no rules change. It was always intended the winner of the popular vote – no matter the margin – would get both at-large delegates.

Nah. I don't buy it.
They fire Pollack, ostensibly because Prescott was sacked 32 times vs. 25 times last year, his rookie year. But gosh, eight of those extra sacks came in a game against Atlanta when Garrett was too paralyzed and brain dead to make an adjustment to help Green, or just get his ass out of there.
So, instead, contemplate bringing in a 20-year retread from Cincinnati, or gosh, Cable, an OL coach fired by Seattle whom just happens to be a former college teammate of guess who? -- Linehan.
Or promote Colombo, making the whole operation even more inbred than ever.
Jerry and the trailer park inbreds running things at the top; Jason and the inbred coaching staff.
The old saying: When everyone's thing alike, no one's thinking. Of course, a trailer full of inbreds is not concerned with things like thinking.

Dear Wilson Family,
My heart truly goes out to you. I know James because he was my former Brother-In-Law. He was a great man and will truly be missed.
With Love,
Joyce, Anitra And Daniel (Watley) Mose
On February 7th, 1943, James Dave Wilson Sr. was born to Opal Dunlap and James Lydie in Oklahoma City, OK. James was raised by his adoptive father, Lacey Wilson, along with his five siblings, who have all proceeded him in death.
James led his life like a great adventure. He was a Marine Machinist for the U.S. Navy in Alameda, CA. He loved to fish, garden, and build things. He was the proud Father of Gina D. Baptiste of Oakley, CA, James D. Wilson Jr. of Oklahoma City, OK, Tamala M. Coulter of Oklahoma City, OK, Jamie P. Green of Oklahoma City, OK, Donovan L. Wilson of Edmond, OK, Jamel D. Wilson of Edmond, OK and Charles M. Wilson Sr. of Edmond, OK.
He shared his life with his beloved wife of 47 years, Lois H.S. Wilson of Edmond, OK. Together they raised seven children. From their children came 25 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and two more great-grandchildren soon to be born. James was also a surrogate Father to many children in the communities that he resided. He loved to cook and everyone loved his bar-b-que.
James was well respected and considered a leader to everyone he knew. He was well known for his ability to make you laugh and feel loved. He liked to joke and brought happiness to every occasion. James loved his family and friends unselfishly his whole life.
James came to know the Lord in his final months of life and was welcomed home by his Creator on September 5th, 2016. He is loved by everyone and will be greatly missed.
A wake service and formal visitation will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., Friday, September 9, 2016 at Matthews Funeral Home Chapel. Memorial services will be held Saturday, September 10, 2016 at 2:30 p.m. at Matthews Funeral Home Chapel.

Boeing is being tight-lipped about moving its Air Force One and E-4B "Doomsday Plane" maintenance operations from Wichita to San Antonio, but it's clear something is afoot.
During a week-long media tour that made stops at several Boeing aircraft repair and upgrade facilities – including San Antonio – officials were hesitant to discuss the move, which will impact about 2,100 people in Kansas.
A clue (see photo above) about the pending move emerged during a tour of the C-17 and KC-135 maintenance depot hangar. I presume they meant transition, not "transistion."
The sign was on the door to the "Boom Shop," where KC-135 refueling booms are repaired. Officials at the work site said the group could not tour that area due to "export control" restrictions.
Boeing officials in San Antonio acknowledged the Air Force One and E-4B overhaul work was heading there, but said the specifics are still being finalized.
Judging by the sign, one could surmise that some type of boom work will be transferred to the San Antonio. Boeing currently works on its international KC-767 tankers — which are flow by Japan and Italy — in Wichita.
The company was supposed to convert 767 aircraft into U.S. Air Force tankers in Wichita, however, when it announced the site closure, it said that work would be done in Washington State.
Aside from C-17 and KC-135, Boeing also works on 787 Dreamliners and 747-8 aircraft in San Antonio.

"Star Wars" lives on, like it or not! Three new movies (at least) are on the way courtesy of Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm, with the first of these films hitting theaters in 2015. The latest issue of Star Wars Insider features an interview with George Lucas and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy all about the decision to team up with Disney for more "Star Wars" films, and everything else that their future entails.
MTV Movies Blog has an exclusive excerpt from the interview. Read it below!
On October 19, 2012, as the public announcement about the future of Lucasfilm and "Star Wars" approached, George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy sat down with Lynne Hale, Senior Director of Public Relations for Lucasfilm, to discuss the news that the Walt Disney Company entered an agreement to acquire Lucasfilm Ltd., and that there would be three new "Star Wars" films. Star Wars Insider has the print exclusive…
George Lucas: I always said I wasn't going to do any more... and that's true, because I'm not going to do them. But that doesn't mean I'm unwilling to turn it over to Kathleen [Kennedy] to do more. I have story treatments of "Episodes VII," "VIII" and "IX" and a bunch of other movies, and obviously we have hundreds of books and comics, and everything you could possibly imagine. I moved that treasure trove of stories and various things to Kathleen and I have complete confidence that she's going to take them and make great movies.
It's the same philosophy behind "Indiana Jones." I came up with "Indiana Jones." I would take it to my friends. I'd say, "This is a fantastic movie! It's gonna be great, but I don't want to make it. I just want to go see it. I don't want to have do the work part." Steven Spielberg jumped on it immediately and said, "I'll do that movie." It's the same thing. I wanted to see that movie, but I don't want to go through the drudgery of actually making it. So now I'm taking the difficult part of "Star Wars" and I'm turning it over to Kathleen, and I look forward to being like a regular audience member, and seeing it for the first time and saying, "Oh, my God!" The one thing I missed in life is that I never got to see "Star Wars." I never got that moment where I walked into a theater and was blown away, because I already knew it was nothing but heartache and problems. Which is always the way it is for a filmmaker. They never see the movie; they only see the process of what they had to go through. Maybe this will give me the chance to actually walk in and be surprised. I'm going from being the creator to a fan. I get to be a fan, now. I look forward to it. It's a lot more fun than actually having to go out in the mud and the snow.
Kathleen Kennedy: You can actually blog about what we're doing, and how we're messing things up.
Lucas: No, no, no. I'm just saying, "Gosh, they're out in the snow, and it's cold, and I know they're having a very difficult time. But that's what they like to do!"
What advice do you have for Kathleen as she starts these films?
Lucas: Good luck. (Laughter). No, I don't have to give Kathleen advice. She knows what to do. She knows better than I do. That's the best part about this is that it's not somebody who I have to explain anything to. I mean, I can tell you the mythology. That's all my job is, is to be the keeper of the flame, and just make sure that it's consistent.
Kennedy: I like to think as we move forward that the fans are on board, they help us, they support what it is we're trying to do. The main thing is to protect these characters and that they still continue to live in the way that George created them. And that the universe of "Star Wars" continues to grow in ways they can get excited about. Everybody involved in trying to create these films are fans, too. And that is what we want to try to protect.
Check out the rest of this interview with George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy in issue #138 of Star Wars Insider, hits print and digital newsstands today in the U.S. and December 20 in the U.K.!
Star Wars Insider #138 also features a never-before-published interview with Harrison Ford, the ever-popular author Timothy Zahn discussing his latest novel "Scoundrels!," and Boba Fett actor Jeremy Bulloch chooses his favorite aspects of the "Star Wars" saga.

Schlesinger: Prepare now for foreign oil dependence
Former Energy Secretary James Schlesinger says US dependence on foreign oil during the 1990s will return to the levels of the 1970s, when the country experienced shortages.
Speaking Friday to Americans for Energy Independence, Schlesinger, who was energy secretary during the Carter administration, predicted the US will once again rely on imported oil for half of its needs, much of it from the Middle East. Imports have fallen steadily since the 1970s, mostly because conservation and the recession dampened demand.
Schlesinger said the government should stimulate domestic natural gas production, encourage new energy technologies, and expand by several times its reserve of oil stored underground in Texas and Louisiana.
