Register for IFC Recruitment HERE. You must log in with your Campus ID # and MyCSULB password.
For more information on fraternity recruitment, email email@example.com
Membership Recruitment is a weeklong event each semester that includes house tours and individual chapter events. This is to give potential members a view of all the chapters that CSULB has to offer, and to familiarize the potential members with the chapters he is interested in joining. Each chapter contains a special group of brothers and it is up to you to decide which chapter will be right for you.
The greatest advantage of fraternity membership lies in the unity that develops among brothers. Each fraternity instills its unique bond of brotherhood in all of your daily interactions. That brotherhood supplied by your fraternity system is lifelong
All but two of the United States Presidents since 1925 have been fraternity men. Here in the fraternity and sorority community at The Beach we strive to mold the leaders of the future today. The CSULB fraternity community offers many opportunities to lead not only in the individual chapters, but as a leader on the Interfraternity Council.
College is a time for social interactions as well as academics. Social and recreational activities give students the opportunity to meet a variety of people. Fraternity and sorority functions, date parties and formal dances are samples of these activities. Participation in traditional events such as Greek Week, philanthropies, and intramurals demonstrate Greek unity and the spirit that makes Fraternity and Sorority Life at The Beach so rewarding.
The CSULB fraternity system enjoys giving back to those in the community. With different philanthropic events, individual chapters raise money to give to different non-profit organizations of their choice. Giving to and helping others is an important goal of the fraternity system, and this goal is being achieved by facilitating philanthropies and services projects that show we care.
The academic portion of your college life is undoubtedly the greatest determinant of your future success. Employers look for students who have achieved academic success while maintaining extra-curricular involvement. The CSULB Fraternity and Sorority Life community strives for high scholarship and the development of academic excellence among its members.
Women: Register for Sorority Recruitment
All women participating in 2017 Fall Recruitment must register. Deadline to register is Friday, September 8, 2017 at 10 a.m.
For more information on sorority recruitment, email firstname.lastname@example.com
* Required events. All recruitment participants must attend one information night, and plan to attend the entire duration of recruitment, Saturday – Tuesday.
Membership recruitment is a four-day event where prospective members visit sorority chapters and get to know their members. Through informal conversation and presentations, you will learn about the different activities and programs of each chapter. During Recruitment, you will be looking for a group of women with whom you best identify. Each sorority has something to offer you, just as you have something equally unique to offer them.
During the spring semester, an informal recruitment is held. Sorority chapters will host a variety of events to introduce their organizations to potential new members. Women interested in joining a sorority during the spring semester are encouraged to visit as many sororities as possible to find the best place for them.
Sororities provide their members with a broad range of social events to participate in, such as fraternity exchanges, theme dances, formals, parent and alumni events, chapter retreats, sisterhood activities and sporting events. Overall, it is the people you meet and the experiences you share with them that will help shape your future.
Sororities offer endless opportunities for developing leadership skills and encourage leadership activities outside the fraternity and sorority community. Whether you are on a committee, running for a chapter office, or participating in campus or community events, you can always be involved and learn effective leadership skills.
Service is a fundamental part of the fraternity and sorority life community. Members participate in chapter-sponsored and community-wide service projects throughout the year. Each individual chapter contributes time and energy to create ways in which they can contribute money or services to a national philanthropy.
Each sorority places great emphasis on high scholarship and promote academic excellence through incentive programs, honor societies, study skills/time management workshops, and tutoring. We encourage each sorority member to dedicate herself first to the University, as its academic rewards will ensure more enjoyable schools days and a successful future.
Sororities are self-governed and self-financed through dues paid by each member. Dues fund for initiations, national membership, chapter house maintenance, philanthropic events, fraternity and sorority life community contributions, activities and programs, just to name a few.
It's time to take a step toward your future and Be Greek at The Beach. The eight Panhellenic sororities at Cal State Long Beach offer women the opportunity to make lifelong friendships, strive toward academic excellence, and make a difference in their community through philanthropic service. Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment offers each woman the chance to meet the members of all our sororities. During the four-day process, everyone will get the opportunity to visit all the sororities, see which events each house does, and find a place where they can call each other sisters. Recruitment week is an exciting time that is overwhelming and exhausting, but is well worth it in the end.
Thank you for your interest in Panhellenic Council Sorority Recruitment and we look forward to meeting you in the Fall.
All fraternities and sororities, and the CSULB Greek Councils prohibit alcohol during recruitment events.
If a recruitee is present, there cannot be alcohol. If alcohol is present, there cannot be recruitees. This would include:
Hazing is a problem for fraternities and sororities primarily. Fact: Hazing is a societal problem. Hazing incidents have been frequently documented in the military, athletic teams, marching bands, religious cults, professional schools and other types of clubs and/or organizations. Reports of hazing activities in high schools are on the rise.
Hazing is no more than foolish pranks that sometimes go awry. Fact: Hazing is an act of power and control over others --- it is victimization. Hazing is pre-meditated and NOT accidental. Hazing is abusive, degrading and often life-threatening.
As long as there's no malicious intent, a little hazing should be O.K. Fact: Even if there's no malicious "intent," safety may still be a factor in traditional hazing activities that are considered to be "all in good fun." For example, serious accidents have occurred during scavenger hunts and kidnapping trips. Besides, what purpose do such activities serve in promoting the growth and development of group team members?
Hazing is an effective way to teach respect and develop discipline. Fact: First of all, respect must be EARNED--not taught. Victims of hazing rarely report having respect for those who have hazed them. Just like other forms of victimization, hazing breeds mistrust, apathy and alienation.
If someone agrees to participate in an activity, it can't be considered hazing. Fact: In states that have laws against hazing, consent of the victim can't be used as a defense in a civil suit. This is because even if someone agrees to participate in a potentially hazardous action it may not be true consent when considering the peer pressure and desire to belong to the group.
It's difficult to determine whether or not a certain activity is hazing--it's such a gray area sometimes. Fact: It's not difficult to decide if an activity is hazing if you use common sense and ask yourself the following questions: Make the following inquiries of each activity to determine whether or not it is hazing.

Like Me: Confessions of a Heartland Country Singer by: Chely Wright
Read by: Anna/Central Library Teen Room
Like Me is Chely Wright's memoir/autoboigraphy. She explains how she grew up, how she got into singing country music, how she rose to the top of the charts with a number one song, and most of all, how she dealt with being a lesbian in an anti-LGBTQ atmosphere before gaining the courage to come out of the closet.
I admit to being a country music fan. I might not always remember who sings which song, but I do love the music. About two years ago I went to Book Expo America and had the opportunity to meet Chely Wright who was there signing her book. I was star-struck, of course. She wasn't popular at the time, but I remember when she was and I knew she had good songs out there. Standing in line, I was amazed that she seemed very down to earth as I knew virtually nothing about her except her music. She's naturally pretty (as her cover shows) and she doesn't do anything to change that. Sure she's got money, but she doesn't fling it around and buy expensive things just because she can. She's smart and hard working too, definitely things to admire in anyone you meet. I don't think I said anything other than 'thank you' to her when she signed my copy, though I wish I could have unglued my mouth for more than that.
Reading her memoir, I truly understood how difficult it was for her to stay in hiding for nearly 30 years before she told a single person she was gay. She had relationships with men, hoping each time that things would change and she would fall in love and be straight. She prayed at least once a day for God to take away the gay that was inside her. And she had several relationships with other women that she kept hidden from the world. The pain was evident every time someone cracked a gay joke, or told her there were rumors she was a lesbian and that if it was true she was going to hell. She's Christian through and through and she had the strength to hold onto her beliefs, even when her church continually spoke against her. She has to be admired for that strength. Even when she hit rock bottom, when she thought about committing suicide, she was able to use her faith and hold on just a little bit longer until she was strong enough to go back out into the world.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is struggling with coming to terms with being LGBTQ, coming out of the closet, or anyone who simply wants to know more about what it's like struggling with these issues. She writes in a conversational tone that makes her words easy to understand and before you know it, you've reached the end, amazed at the long journey you've taken with her.

A group of Newtown residents who formed after the Dec. 14 tragedy at Sandy Hook are pushing congressional leaders to change guns laws.
Newtown Action Alliance is trying to raise awareness about gun violence by reading more than 3,000 names of the people who have been killed by a gun since the shooting at Sandy Hook.
On Dec. 14, 20 children and six adults were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"We're very disappointed that we can't even get a vote after something so tragic in Newtown," said Po Murray of Newtown Action Alliance.
Around 1 p.m. Wednesday, victims and survivors of gun violence are gathering to participate in Filibuster the Filibuster: They Deserve a Vote in Washington D.C. and at the same time a group will gather in Newtown to Filibuster the Filibuster: Newtown Deserves a Vote.
Officials with Newtown Action Alliance said the purpose of the filibuster is to demonstrate to the United States Senators that any attempt to stop a vote on measure to reduce gun violence is not acceptable.
Outside the historic Edmond Town Hall, the names of 3,345, who have been killed since the shooting at Sandy Hook, were read by members of Newtown Action Alliance while the bells chimed in the background.
"We need to raise the bar in respect to some of these high power weapons, large capacity magazines," said Tripp Killin of Newtown Action Alliance.
The volunteers will continue to read the names aloud in front of the town hall until the planned vote on Thursday.

ERROR: Macro DefaultArticleHeader is missing!
If you go to a sports bar this Saturday night, there's a better-than-average chance that there's going to be a cover charge. Not because it's Memorial Day weekend, or it's the NBA playoffs. It's because there's UFC on this weekend, and that bar is (or should be) being charged thousands if they're showing the fight.
Last week I talked about sports TV ratings and how they're relatively low compared to conventional programming. In an effort to still show their events and get their share of TV revenue, many sports turn to pay per view. You've probably seen or purchased pay per view movies or even a fight, but how does that work for sports bars?
UFC advertises a price of around $60 for its events. This is for residential viewers. Establishments such as bars and restaurants, broadcasting the event to a larger, unpaying audience, are charged hundreds or thousands of dollars, depending on the size of the venue.
Of course, establishments will try to circumvent the fees. In 2010, the Plaza Mexico Bar & Grill in Laredo, Texas, paid the regular residential cable PPV fee for UFC 113 instead of the $1,100 cost for commercial viewings. UFC's PPV partner sued the bar and won $32,500 in damages.
How did UFC know? It has a network of its own auditors who look for places illegally showing its events. Here's a great story of one of those auditors, from Businessweek.
This is much more common than I expected. The Businessweek story claims thousands of these lawsuits have been filed, some with the help of venues that pay commercial fees reporting other establishments. UFC says that, since 2006, it has collected $4.7 million in settlements from commercial pirates.
It's nearby, too. Here's a post from an Allentown-area law firm describing a significant increase in local claims.
Perhaps the best-known sports pay per view is DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket. This package, like many others at DirecTV, is based on the fire code occupancy of the restaurant: 201-350 people costs $6,425 for the season; 351-500 people jumps to $9,180. And that's just the maximum fire code capacity of the place, not the number of guests you have or are there to watch the NFL.
Here's DirecTV's site with details about the costs for all of its sports PPV packages. Bars and restaurants also have higher monthly fees for non-PPV sports networks like FSN, Comcast SportsNet and the Big 10 Network. ESPN HD will run you a flat fee of $58 per month.
Let's say I want to open a new sports bar with a maximum capacity of 250 people – about your typical Arooga's size. For every channel I'd want, plus the PPV packages for the Big 4 sports, the bill comes to $18,000 per year before any PPV action. There were 17 UFC PPV events in 2011.
It's not just PPV providers that want every piece of the action. This week came word that the NBC Sports TV network has told the NY Rangers and NJ Devils that they can't hold public viewing parties during away games in this NHL playoff series. Apparently NBC Sports decided that it needed those fans watching the game at home, so they can count in the ratings. All 10,000 of them.
Bill Sayer is a financial analyst in the insurance industry and holds a degree in economics. A native of Upstate New York, Bill enjoys watching college football, the NFL, NHL and Premier League soccer from his home in Palmyra. Have a suggestion, link or question?

Underwood Typewriter
15 comments:
I learned to type on an Underwood that looked just like this.ReplyDelete
I recall the first time I ever saw a job applicant requirement of experience with 'word processing'. I wondered "what the heck is 'word processing'. (Soon afterwards I owned a computer.)ReplyDelete
MS-Word has templates for alignment to some things, one being labels. However, its templates do not cover the gamut of all special alignments.
Back in the early 70's I used a portable electric typewriter for my Journalism classes. My fingers were just too big and caused more than a few errors, those electric typewriters were sensitive. Soon I was back to the old family fossil Remington.ReplyDelete

I used an IBM Selectric which allowed one to change fonts by removing the type ball and exchanging it for another. Now with the click of a mouse you can have your choice of 100's of fonts, quite an improvement. Those who have never typed on a typewriter have no appreciation of the ability to type and correct and edit so easily on a computer as opposed to typing, especially with 3 carbon copies that needed to be corrected as well!ReplyDelete
Looks like Brother still makes them??ReplyDelete
Back in primary school I had typing classes ... Now my 4 yro saw one in a cartoon and told me: "a computer, I know how to use these!". So I took him to grandpa's and shown a typewriter - not sure he understood 100% what it is for.ReplyDelete

Manual and electric typewriters are still the norm in many third world countries where the power grid is iffy. They are certainly reliable! I still use an electric typewriter for labels. I have a WW2 portable typewriter issued by the US Navy. It weighs about 20 pounds and only types CAPS. It needs a cleaning and a fresh ribbon. I used to type letters on it just for fun.ReplyDelete
I own an Underwood No. 5 which my Father purchased in the 50's and I learned to type on it. Then I went into the workforce in 1968 and used a variety of manual typewriters, including a statistical typewriter which had a row of keys under the space bar. These keys enabled you to tab to the appropriate place in a number from the decimal point. There was nothing to use for correction except an eraser with a little brush on the end to brush away the residue. Then came liquid paper which was quite an innovation. I purchased my own Selectric typewriter in 1974 which I still have but do not use. In 1986, we went to word processors in the office. MS Word was a joy when it came out, but as time has gone on, they have made this program more and more difficult to use. We still use typewriters at my office, however, to complete forms, but they are merely plastic replicas of those old heavy duty workhorses. To this day, I miss the "click, click . . ." of manual typewriters which could be heard all over the offices.ReplyDelete
I'm not sure if she was selling typewriters, but those eyes could have sold me a half dozen, easily.ReplyDelete
At my first post-college job we had to do considerable lobbying to get PCs on our desks. At the time, managers looked at us like we were nuts.
The computer terminals were off in little cubbyholes and shared by dozens of people. And the card punches were in the hall, under stair wells.
I pressed them for a year to get the newfangled 'ethernet' thing approved so we could access the computer from our desk. It ws still quite a foreign concept to the old guys.
Even then, we still had a typing pool that did all the official stuff, but at least we could give them typed copy instead of our awful handwriting.
And the kids today have no idea what you're talking about when you say 'typewriter'.ReplyDelete
- Ross_from_MaineSeptember 26, 2010 at 10:00 PM
You get that same look from kids when you say "You sound like a broken record"ReplyDelete
Well sometimes I think office work was easier BC (Before Computers). I had my first job in 1972 way before the office was computerized and I loved the IBM Selectric typewriters. Computers were suppose to save paper and work. Instead they GENERATE it. Now everything has to be documented and filed.....ReplyDelete

We have a typewriter exactly like the one in this photo - it's been completely refurbished and is in perfect operating condition. It's currently serving as a desk ornament.ReplyDelete
It belonged to my mother - her father bought it (used) for her in 1938 when she graduated from high school and attended the Katharine Gibbs Secretarial School in Providence, RI.
For over 60 years, this typewriter sat covered and dusty in the basements of our houses. For some reason, it survived the 1964 move from the first house we lived in (which had been built by our grandfather and was our mother's childhood home) to the house my father still lives in today. I remember being down in the cellar on rainy days and playing with it as a child.
After my mother passed away last year, my dad brought it out; took it to our local typewriter repair shop (yes, those places still exist); and had it completely restored.
My sister is a newspaper reporter and he thought it would make a nice gift for her - but she left it with my dad for safekeeping. It looks brand new.
My dad has a couple of other old electric typewriters from the 1960s in the basement, too. The were considered "high tech" at the time. I remember using one when I was an English Lit major in college in the early 1970s.
Just . . . imagine, writing all of those lengthy literary analysis papers with no word processor, and NO CORRECTION TAPE, either. You either had to erase the mistake or type the entire page over if you had omitted a word or a line. Looking back, I don't know how I did it!!
well..even though I'm one of the Y Gen :D I still hv chance to learn how to use the typewriter. Yes because I live in third world country.ReplyDelete
Back in 90's when I was at elementary, the price of computer is relatively high. So before my parents managed to buy me a PC, I have to learned how to type with the manual typewriter.

Are you talking about articles in general or here in the forums? If it's articles, it's likely because Nintendo hasn't had much big news lately. If you're talking about the forums, it's because they're pretty much dead because blogging and the staff doesn't care much for them.
I can answer ZeldaHDTwili's question as well.
Running an official Nintendo news thread on another site for about 3 months now. I would say that 90 percent of the stuff I have been adding to the thread is fan art, youtube videos, retro news, reconfirmed news and e-shop news.
What has Nintendo had for actual news in the past two months? We knew all the games that are coming out now, were coming out. They are being hush hush up until E3. I doubt that even GDC or GDN or whatever it is will have much info. The same happened just before the Wii came out. Kind of annoying I think. Sony and Microsoft will figure out what their secrets are anyways.
There's actually a Nintendo Direct conference today, but I doubt any Wii U news will surface until E3.
Nintendo is usually secretive about almost anything that comes from their in-house departments, being games or consoles. It usually bothers the hell out of me, because Nintendo news is the first thing I usually look for. I doubt GDC will have anything new, and will probably only show what has been shown at CES (which was the same thing shown at last year's E3). If you want any mind-blowing information, you're better off waiting for E3.
I just need more info on this...
check out my blog!
Rainheart, I'll never forget you.
Should be a great system
I stand by the notion of calling this thing "the U"
this actually looks good. I never thought about buying The Wii- U until I saw this.
For those that are still wondering about how the Wii-U performs against current-gen systems, here's a link:
If you want an idea how it might perform against the PS4:
It would be bad for the Wii-U if the PS4 uses the last processor that was mentioned, but due to costs, I believe that they will not use it, or severely tone it down. Either way, I think Nintendo might be able to at least compete with next-gen consoles.
Also, I know that most of this is based off rumors, but it has been confirmed that the POWER7 architecture will be used for the Wii-U, so even if it is one of the low-end models, it will still clearly out-compete the current generation.
I think multiplayer can also use the Classic Controller Pro. At least, I think they said that.
Sa kyr'am Nau tracyn kad, Vode an.
Ahh... just read that Classic Controller Pro's analog sticks stank. Oops.
At least they're making a pro controller right off the bat this time.
Big update today on the specs and added a picture of the new Pro controller.
Currently playing: Modern Warfare 2, Resident Evil 5, New Vegas, Halo Reach, Bulletstorm
Add me on XBL: Pyr0CheeZeCake (that's a zero)
The Freeman Returns 2012. I'll give it hope for another year...
I'm hoping that Nintendo will chug out a few new IPs for the Wii U as well.
I'm hoping that Nintendo will chug out a few new IPs for the Wii U as well.
That's a tall order. Not only don't Nintendo fans support 3rd party
games, they also tend to ignore whenever Nintendo dares to try something
different. Hence the poor sales of Eternal Darkness on the GameCube
(best title on that system) and Sin & Punishment on the Wii

It's Christmas morning. Winter's Veil sprinkles snow over the idyllic mountains near Ironforge while gnomes frolic across the battlegrounds. Everyone is working to get With A Little Helper from my Friends. Most of us have the good sense to sleep in late. Some of us, however, have big plans.
With the aid of a homemade Christmas card, featuring my own gnomified dwarf Warrior and a Tuskarr fishermen, I popped The Question to my dearly beloved Draenei Priest (and sometimes Nelf Druid). She said yes, which was precisely the result I was hoping to get. Here's how it went down.
Sitting by the tree, I asked her to wear a blindfold for a moment. Working quickly, inspired by a Tuskarr quest, I sprinkled Swedish Fish down the hallway. Then, I removed the blinder, handing her the home-made Christmas card. On the front was a screenshot (above) of my dwarf completing the quest The Way to His Heart... and on the inside it said "Follow your heart ... and the fish." She followed the trail of gummy fish to where I'd hung a necklace strung with the proxy ring. (Since this is the second time at bat for both of us, she wanted to help pick out the ring.) And voila, I had the best Christmas ever.

No. 9 Louisville eases past Portland 95-48
- Associated Press
- November 11, 2012 - 3:01 PM
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Shoni Schimmel had 16 points to lead No. 9 Louisville past Portland 95-48 on Sunday.
Bria Smith scored 15, Sheronne Vails had 13 and freshman Megan Deines added 12. Shawnta' Dyer scored 10 for Louisville (2-0).
Kari Luttinen and Ellen Nurmi each had 10 points for the Pilots (0-2).
Louisville opened the game on a 17-2 run and never trailed. The Cardinals forced 19 first-half turnovers, including 12 steals, out of their full court zone press and held the Pilots to just nine field goals. Portland turned the ball over 32 times in all.
Deines' putback at the buzzer gave Louisville a 48-25 halftime advantage.
Louisville had an 11-4 run after halftime, capped by Deines' three from the left corner to give the Cardinals a 59-30 edge.
Louisville had 11 players score, 10 in the first half. Freshman Cortnee Walton's steal and layup put her in the scoring column with 3:32 remaining and gave Louisville an 88-44 lead.
"I'd love to have games like this to be able to use that many players, but that's not realistic," Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. "Sometimes we may just use seven or eight players."
It was a much different offensive outing for Louisville than Friday night's opener against No. 15 Texas A&M.
The Cardinals spurted to a 10-point halftime lead against the Aggies but were stifled by A&M's size in the second half. Louisville rallied though and won 47-45.
"That first game was just a grind," Walz said. "I wasn't sure if we could score 50 points all season. We're going to have games where we grind it out 47-45 and then we'll have some games like today."
The matchup against Texas A&M served Louisville well when the Pilots shifted defenses.
"It was a different game for everybody in that it was an easier game to get things going," Schimmel said. "They sat in zone for the most part but when they went to man, it was easier to run different plays from our offense. What helped us was playing against man against Texas A&M."
Louisville had 23 turnovers in the opener but committed just 13 against Portland, with only three coming in the second half.

Olympus mounts 7x optical zoom snapper
It comes at a price though
Posted in Personal Tech, 20th August 2008 10:09 GMT
Olympus has expanded its Mju range by unveiling a snapper with a sumptuous 7x optical zoom.
Olympus' Mju 1060 can recognise 16 faces
The ten-megapixel Mju 1060 also has a larger-than-average LCD - it's 3in - which should provide enough space to look at images recalled from the camera's Micro SD card slot.
Up to 16 faces can be picked out by the camera's face-detection mode, and don't worry if your hands are prone to shaking, because the camera also includes image stabilisation technology.
Although high-speed snapping is possible with a nine frames per second (f/s) sequence shooting, the Mju1060 can also record 640 x 480 (VGA) resolution movies at up to 30f/s.
Olympus' Mju 1060 will be available next month in "Starry Silver", "Midnight Black" and "Cyan Green". It will cost £260 ($480/€330).

DANVILLE – Almost 60 years after he was discharged from the Army, an eastern Illinois veteran finally received the medals he earned during the Korean War.
The (Danville) Commercial-News reported Robert Paul Jaynes didn't even think about getting his decorations when he left the military in 1954. Instead, he said he was "just glad to get home."
The 84-year-old Danville man received his four medals and a citation Friday during a special ceremony at the Vermilion County War Museum. They were presented by U.S. Rep. John Shimkus.
Jaynes said receiving the medals is "quite an honor," adding that he never thought he'd actually get the decorations.
After he returned home from the war, Jaynes became a farmer and later owned Hoopeston Implement Co.

I've just watched the Vanessa Williams episode of the new US series of Who Do You Think You Are (thanks to a friend who shall remain nameless!) - and I have to say, it wasn't just much better than the first series, it was one of the best episodes I've ever seen in any version of the show. For those not familiar with the name Vanessa Williams, we're talking Willimina Slater from the TV series "Ugly Betty" here!
It is still 40 minutes without the ads, but with none of the repetitive bubblegum American style nonsense that you often get around US commercial breaks which takes up so much time and makes you want to throw things at the screen (as with the first series) - and it was an absolutely packed story following two of her great great grandfathers, whose lives paralleled her own father's to an extent, and with a genuinely emotional ending. If they are going to be as good as this, honestly BBC, drop the UK version and put this on prime time!
One other point - the intro showed clips from some of the other 'slebs' - and the Kim Cattrall episode looks like it is a repackaged version of the bigamy story she followed in the UK version of the series. No idea yet if the UK is going to show this series - but if they are all as good as this opener, I'd start lobbying for it now.

Vanessa Williams opens WDYTYA USA series 2
1 comment:
- Free Genealogy Guide said...
I agree with your assessments of both the new Vanessa Williams episode and the previous episodes' use of the repetitive recap-and-preview hype that has become so popular in American TV shows these days. I also found Williams to be more sincere and not seeming to be "overacting" like last season's celebrities.

Story highlights
- The president will still make the case that Congress must authorize military force
- The White House doesn't think Russia's diplomacy has made a strike impossible
- More "no" votes have popped up, but a lot of House and Senate members are undecided
- Obama's approval rating on foreign policy is down, and a poll shows U.S. war weariness
President Barack Obama's war drums continue to beat, but an offhand comment from Secretary of State John Kerry has set in motion a diplomatic effort by Russia -- seized on at the United Nations -- to ward off a U.S. strike on Syria in favor of mediation.
What Kerry said was that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could prevent a strike if he "could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week." Kerry added that Syria would not be willing to do this.
Russia has latched on to the proposal, and Syria says it is taking the idea seriously.
The view is that Kerry's comment is either an accidental out for a president hemmed in by his own red line, or a momentum-sucking goof that may have erased any chance Obama had to engage in a military strike without broader international approval.
Will Russia's proposal delay an Obama strike? And how can Obama sway Americans to support military action? With his approval ratings on all fronts tanking, his prime-time televised address Tuesday night will be crucial. It'll be the administration's closing argument after a week of courting lawmakers.
Here are five things to look for today.
1. What Obama says in his speech
The president will still make the case that Congress must authorize military force in Syria, a senior administration official told CNN. This, despite the fact that Obama believes Kerry's offhand offer for Syria to turn over its chemical weapons could bear fruit now that Russia and the United Nations have jumped aboard.
The link between the two? The administration argues that the offer to turn over chemical weapons wouldn't be on the table if not for the threat of force.
A senior administration official told CNN that Kerry's not in trouble with the president for the comment, but does admit that it was off the cuff while restating administration policy. Bottom line: It wasn't inconsistent with what was happening behind the scenes, according to the official.
To make his case for a military strike, the president will lay out what happened in the chemical weapons attack in Syria on August 21, and why it's in America's interest to act. He'll argue that the United States can't let this kind of attack go unanswered, and he'll tell us how he sees it affecting the safety of U.S. troops.
And perhaps the toughest one of all, he'll tell a nation weary from more than a decade of war why Syria isn't Iraq or Afghanistan.
2. Whether Russia's diplomatic volley has knocked the steam out of a strike
The White House isn't acting like it has. If anything, the lobbying on Capitol Hill is intensifying ahead of the president's address.
It all starts with Obama, who will go to the Hill on Tuesday to make his case to Senate Democrats, a Senate leadership aide told CNN. Making sure to hit both sides of the aisle, the president also will attend the Senate GOP lunch, a Senate Republican aide said.
The House Armed Services Committee hosts three of the administration's big guns beginning Tuesday morning: Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. All of them will get important face time with the influential committee.
Although no longer a member of the administration, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will speak on Syria at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, just ahead of the president's national address.
3. Whether the lobbying efforts pay off in votes
For the time being, the tide is against the White House. On Monday, six senators notched their votes in the "no" column, with just one, Democrat Barbara Mikulski, saying she would favor military intervention against Syria. In the House, chalk up 13 new "no" votes.
Still, there are a lot of undecided members -- 46 in the Senate and at least 229 in the House. The numbers could still work out for the president.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid postponed a procedural vote that had been scheduled for Wednesday. The Senate's in no hurry to vote on Syria.
4. If Obama fares better in the court of public opinion
The president's approval rating on foreign policy is at an all-time low of 40%, a steady slide from 54% in January, according to a CNN/ORC International survey.
Just three in 10 approve of how he's handling Syria.
The public is split right down the middle on whether Obama is a strong leader, whether he is honest and trustworthy, and whether he inspires confidence.
Then there's the whole "war weariness" issue in play. Six in 10 say the war in Iraq was a mistake, and 50% say the same thing about Afghanistan. Three-quarters say the United States doesn't need to be the "world policeman."
Also hurting the president's cause, more than seven in 10 say a strike would not achieve significant goals for the United States, and a similar amount say it's not in the national interest for the country to get involved in Syria's civil war, a separate CNN/ORC International poll shows.
The sentiments come despite survey results that show 80% of Americans believe al-Assad's regime gassed its own people.
5. How the international community reacts
The next move appears to be Russia's in this diplomatic chess match. Can Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov deliver on the offer to have Syria hand its chemical arsenal over to international control, or is it just an effort to buy time for the Assad regime?
Lavrov said Tuesday that Russia's working on a "workable, clear, specific plan" that it'll present soon.
The White House is willing to listen and, perhaps, wait a bit -- but not too long.
"It's certainly a positive development when the Russians and Syrians both make gestures towards dealing with these chemical weapons," Obama told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Monday. But he said the threat of American force would remain.
"We don't want just a stalling or delaying tactic to put off the pressure that we have on there right now."
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is listening, too. He's considering asking the U.N. Security Council to demand the Syrian government immediately hand over its chemical weapons to be destroyed.
France and Germany also say they like what they're hearing about a diplomatic solution. But, the French foreign minister said, the Security Council needs to oversee the process, which should start immediately, and the plan shouldn't let anyone off the hook for ordering a chemical attack.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Tuesday that France is proceeding with caution.
"We take note of this new position with interest but also precaution," he said. "We do not want it to be used as a maneuver for diversion."
What the French want to see is for Syria to be transparent about its chemical weapons program and to put it under international control.
France also wants the perpetrators of the deadly chemical weapons attack tried before the international justice system, Fabius said.
Iran, a longtime Syria ally, welcomes the Russian initiative "to stop militarism in the region."
China, also an ally of Syria, says it welcomes and supports the proposal.
The opposition Free Syria Army says Russia's proposal is nothing more than a stalling tactic.
"Here we go again with the regime trying to buy more time in order to keep on the daily slaughter against our innocent civilians and to fool the world," said Louay al-Mokdad, a spokesman for the group.

LDWF, LDHH, LDEQ and LDAF launch website with all tests results as part of the Louisiana Seafood Safety Plan
October 7, 2011 – Louisiana officials announced today the launch of GulfSource.org [4], a site that makes public all of the seafood, water and sediment safety testing information conducted since the 2010 BP Oil Spill under the Louisiana Seafood Safety Plan. The site, which allows users to scroll through all available samples or conduct specific searches by area, date or sample type, utilizes information from the Louisiana departments of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF), Health and Hospitals (LDHH), Environmental Quality (LDEQ), and Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF).
"Though we've been testing seafood, water and sediment since April 30, 2010 in response to the BP oil spill, the information has been difficult to widely distribute to the public until the launch of GulfSource.org [4]," said LDWF Secretary Robert Barham. "We hope the public will utilize GulfSource.org [4] to find out what the safety test results in seafood from areas they fish or from waters they consume reveal. What is truly encouraging is that, to date, not a single sample has failed our safety tests. We now we have the tool to share those results with the general public. Rebuilding our seafood brand starts with rebuilding consumer confidence in our product. We hope GulfSource.org [4] helps us accomplish that task."
"The public should have easy access to food safety information and GulfSource.org [4] is a great companion to the work we're already doing with EatSafe.La.Gov [5]," DHH Secretary Bruce D. Greenstein said. "Transparency of critical health and safety information is a top priority at DHH, where we worked with our state agency partners to publish seafood testing results almost immediately after the BP disaster and throughout the following year. GulfSource takes that work to the next level and allows the world to see for itself that we have the most-tested seafood out there."
"Now it will be easier for people outside of Louisiana to know what we already know – the seafood is safe and as good as ever," said DEQ Peggy Hatch. "The goal of the plan was to ensure seafood safety for all the people who enjoy the best seafood in the world. With the launch of this new website, anyone will be able to see the results. This is the culmination of a statewide effort from many agencies to develop and execute a sampling plan like none other."
"Our office has a long history of ensuring the quality and safety of Louisiana food," said Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain, D.V.M. "It's our duty to continue this obligation to our Louisiana seafood industry and the consumers and patrons that enjoy shrimp, crab and finfish."
Louisiana officials reached an agreement with BP to test seafood, sediment and water from across the Louisiana coast for traces of toxins called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and for dispersants called Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (DOSS). The agreement funds the testing program, called the Louisiana Seafood Safety Plan, up to $18 million for a total of three years ($6 million per year).
To date, none of the samples tested have showed levels of PAHs or dispersants near the U.S. Food and Drug Administration-established "level of concern." In fact, of the samples that showed any minute traces of PAHs, none were above background levels (the levels found in seafood before the oil spill). Test results for dispersants are also available on GulfSource.org [4].
GulfSource.org [4] allows the general public full access to information on how testing is conducted, specifically where it is conducted, and when and what the results from the lab analyses show.
For more information, visit GulfSource.org [4].

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - After playing their first three league games in the friendly confines of Reese Stadium, the Bulldogs hit the road for an Ivy game for the first time on Saturday when they play at Penn at 5 p.m. The Quakers are 3-0 in Ivy play and tied with Princeton for first place, one game ahead of third-place Yale. Weather permitting, live stats of the game will be available at PennAthletics.com.
A hostile environment shouldn't faze the Bulldogs, who have already played in two of the toughest venues in all of college soccer - North Carolina's Fetzer Field and Portland's Merlo Field.
Yale (7-5, 2-1 Ivy) rebounded from a 1-0 loss to Dartmouth by cruising to a 5-0 victory over Cornell last Saturday. The Bulldogs have won six of their last seven games, outscoring their opponents 14-3 during the stretch.
Nine different players have scored at least one goal for Yale, led by Maggie Westfal, who is tied for second in the Ivy League with six goals. She also is third with 15 points and shares the league lead with three game-winning goals.
Defensively, the Bulldogs have allowed only 12 goals in their 12 games. Goalkeeper Susan Starr leads the nation with a .938 save percentage and is second with a 0.32 goals against average.
The Quakers are 3-0 in league play for only the second time in program history and have wins over Cornell, Columbia and Dartmouth. Penn features the top two scorers in the league in Jessica Fuccello, who has 18 points (8 goals, 2 assists) and Jess Rothenheber with 17 points (5 goals, 7 assists). Sara Rose (0.90 goals against average) and Cailly Carroll (0.96) share the goalkeeping duties.
Yale and Penn played a scoreless tie in New Haven last year. The Bulldogs lead the all-time series 12-3-3.

The PlayStation Move is in the frustrating predicament of being wonderful unique technology that simply isn't supported by enough of the right content. But even if Sony had put a lot of developer support behind the platform, the lack of dual analog sticks always limits immersion, which makes this new peripheral from Playhouse Entertainment oh so interesting.
You can support the development of the peripheral directly by pre-ordering your own pair!
Definitely hope this gets funding + content after, totally solves my motion controller hates.
REALLY cool. Wish the Move was released as just one of these Move+Nav combo device things. Would be so much better.
Sadly, as a peripheral, i dont think this would sell very well since you would need 2 moves, 2 navs, and 2 holders for them. :/
Still awesome though haha
Really amazed at this concept, if this was the standard controller coupled with next gen systems, I think it would actually be a winner. It offers a level of interactivity mobile devices cannot achieve and has the best of motion controller and tactile control. It also doesn't seem to be strenuous on the gamer even if you were playing for a few hours. What would be even more awesome is if the controller was in the shape of a normal PS3 controller and could be split for this gaming and snapped back together for standard stuff. I'm getting ahead of myself haha

McGinn strike sinks Dundee
Niall McGinn's excellent 17th goal of the season was enough to guide Aberdeen to a 1-0 victory over Clydesdale Bank Premier League basement boys Dundee.
The home side made heavy work of their win on a Pittodrie pitch showing the scars of a hard winter, and they even had to play for the last 15 minutes with only 10 men, Isaac Osbourne going off injured after manager Craig Brown had made his third substitution.
With defender Mark Reynolds suspended, Scott Vernon came into the team in place of the former Sheffield Wednesday man, and he partnered McGinn in attack.
Joe Shaughnessy stepped into the centre of defence, and Osbourne dropped from the midfield to fill in at right-back. There were places on the bench for long-term injury victims Gary Naysmith and Ryan Jack.
Dundee are 15 points adrift at the bottom of the SPL, and after their 2-0 defeat to Ross County last week, they made two changes. Wingers Nicky Riley and Ryan Conroy came into the side, with Kevin McBride and striker Colin Nish dropped to the bench.
Right from the off, Aberdeen were determined to attack a young and inexperienced Dundee central defence. As early as the third minute, a Johnny Hayes cross found Vernon at the back post, and although his close-range strike seemed to come off the arm of Gary Irvine, referee Brian Colvin was unmoved by the appeals for a penalty.
Ten minutes later, Dundee went close through Brian Easton, whose low shot was pushed away by Jamie Langfield. The Dons eventually scrambled clear as John Baird tried to pick out Lewis Toshney.
But after 18 minutes, Aberdeen took the lead, and a fine goal it was. McGinn picked up the ball on the halfway line and shuffled past two men before unleashing a low, 20-yard drive which bounced just in front of Rab Douglas, and nestled in the back of the net.
It was a full 20 minutes before the next real chance for either side. Douglas punched away a Hayes cross and Osbourne set himself for a strike from the edge of the area, but sliced his right-footed effort well wide of the upright.
A minute before the interval, the visitors were within inches of an equaliser. Gary Harkins played in Jim McAlister, and the former Morton man cannoned a shot past Langfield, off the underside of the crossbar and back out.
The Dees started the second half brightly and, six minutes in, McAlister tried a low shot from the edge of the area, which Langfield did well to push round the post.
They were, though, missing the focal point of Nish in attack, and that was especially evident at set-pieces. Once again, this one came to nothing.
Aberdeen made the first move from the bench just after the hour, with Naysmith replacing Clark Robertson.
A minute either side of the change, Dundee had half-chances for Baird and Riley, but neither really connected with their shot, and former Dark Blue Langfield remained untested.
Declan Gallagher picked up the game's only booking after 63 minutes for a foul on McGinn, but the resultant free-kick came to nothing.
The Dons switched Rob Milsom for Peter Pawlett with 25 minutes left, and five minutes later they had a brief glimpse of goal as McGinn flicked a shot across the face of goal with the outside of his right foot.
The third and final change for the home side saw Josh Magennis replace Joe Shaughnessy, much to the chagrin of the home support, and they cruelly lost Osbourne to injury just a minute later, reducing them to 10 men.
Dundee were making a decent attempt to find a way back into the game even before Osbourne went off, and they quickly brought on Nish for Conroy in a bid to make the most of their man advantage, but it was not to be for Barry Smith's men.

Oil prices stay near 10-year highs on supply factors
The price of Brent oil remained around 10-year high levels in volatile trading here on Wednesday as dealers continued to anticipate supply shortages regardless of an unexpected increase in US oil stocks.
Some analysts predicted prices could spike to as high as $35 a barrel in London and $40 in New York by the end of the year -- unless the supply situation improved.
By late afternoon, Brent crude for September delivery was being traded at $32.40 a barrel, 22 cents higher than Tuesday's close.
Exceptionally, the level was higher than in New York, where light sweet crude for September delivery was trading at $31.62 a barrel, five cents lower.
In London on Tuesday crude prices reached a session high of $32.80 a barrel, the highest level since November 1990 when the price rose to $32.45 following the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq. On October 10, 1990, Brent had risen to $40.95 a barrel.
Prices had began to surge ahead of Tuesday's publication of figures by the American Petroleum Institute (API), amid expectations the body would reveal a continued decline in stock levels which had fallen to a 1976 lowpoint the previous week.
But surprisingly, the API reported on Tuesday that crude stocks rose 7.40 million barrels to 286.4 million in the week to August 11 from the previous week and were 32.76 million barrels lower from the previous year.
In its daily note, GNI Research said it expected the market to remain high, especially as the situation regarding supplies from Saudi Arabia, the world's leading oil producer, remained unclear. It added that the stock build reported on Tuesday was mitigated by a downards revision of the previous week's data.
However, analysts pointed out that the London price rise was exaggerated before expiry of the September Brent contract after the market close on Wednesday. An analyst at Salomon Smith Barney, Peter Gignoux, said: "The extreme backwardation of the expiring September future is confusing the market."
Turning to future price levels, he was agnostic about how high they could go, although he said that last year the average price of Brent was 18.03 dollars a barrel, and for the year to date it was $27.25. The chief economist at the Centre for Global Energy Studies, Leo Drollas, said prices could rise to $40 a barrel in New York and $35 in London by the end of this year -- but only if the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) did not agree an output increase at its ministerial conference in Vienna on September 10.
He also stressed that such price rises would be occasional spikes, not averages.Moreover, Drollas predicted that OPEC would agree to pump at least 500,000 extra barrels a day. The producers' organisation has already increased production twice this year in an attempt to stabilise prices which have tripled since late 1998.
In July, Saudi Arabia triggered a marked decline in prices when it said that it would increase production by 500,000 barrels per day unless the market stabilised. Fellow OPEC members criticised Saudi Arabia for its "unilateral" stance, but Venezuelan Oil Minister Ali Rodriguez, who is also OPEC president, subsequently announced he had asked his colleagues to prepare for an increase of 500,000 barrels per day if prices remained high.
The output rise was not forthcoming as the price of an OPEC basket of crude oils fell sharply. On Tuesday, the basket price stood at $28.53, OPEC said. Meanwhile, the precise impact on inflation is not straightforward and analysts said it depended on how much of the crude price rise was passed on by oil companies.
A month ago, the Office for National Statistics attributed rising inflation to high oil costs. However, on Tuesday, the latest set inflation figures for Britain showed that oil and petrol prices had a negative 0.02-percent impact on underlying inflation of 2.2 percent, following petrol price cuts introduced by supermarkets last month.

Student or Learner
Do you think that "The Daughter of Baroness" nice and neat -- and common English -- as a book title? A freelance editor said me that I've used it incorrectly and my book is failed from the top title. But she didn't say the right form. What else I can say for it? Baroness' Daughter or The Daughter of the Baroness?
Last edited by Tinkerbell; 12-Jun-2012 at 17:26.
You definintely need an article. However, if she's the daughter of a Baroness, is she not also the daughter of the Baron?
I think "The Baron's Daughter" is neater and avoids the messy Baroness's.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
No, her father is a penniless and adventurer Irishman. :D Only her mother is a Baroness. According to Dutch aristocrasy, a daughter or a son in a baronial family, borns with title. (not from the wikipedia but some North Europeans told me like that.) I mean, she was Baroness even when she was maiden.

What is difference with the "a" and "the"? The main character is the daugter, and the Baroness second main and important character. Reader will knows her well. Which should I use then? A or the?
Use "the."
Unless other Baronesses will be in the story.

What does Lotus know about handling that eludes the rest of the world? It's a question we asked ourselves after an exhilarating mountain-road romp in the new Evora. While this Lotus makes several concessions to practicality, such as a small rear seat and even cruise control, essentially it's a driver's car. And for 2011, there's nothing better on the road. Those with the means will enjoy a connection between the car and the road that borders on telepathic. The steering effort linearly increases as the cornering forces build, and the suspension impeccably keeps the tires squarely planted on the road. The result is a car with high but accessible cornering limits, a sports car that makes even novice drivers feel like heroes. Even better, the Evora smashes the notion that good handling and a supple ride are mutually exclusive. It's cushy enough to drive to work, yet incredibly entertaining on curvy roads and racetracks.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee OFF-ROAD ABILITY
No brand is more deeply rooted in off-road adventure than Jeep. The new Grand Cherokee stands at the top of the lineup with not only a much more luxurious and roomy interior but also more power and, yes, enhanced on- and off-road chops. The new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 churns out 290 hp and 260 lb ft of torque, delivers 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway and will tow 5000 pounds. But we'd choose the 360-hp V8 for its muscle-car hustle—and take the modest fuel-economy hit. For the first time, the unibody Jeep uses a four-wheel independent suspension for enhanced steering and suspension precision. Opt for the Quadra-Lift air suspension, and the Jeep will provide five distinct suspension-height levels, with up to an impressive 10.7 inches of ground clearance. During a snow-covered sortie in Moab, Utah, the Jeep rocked and rolled its way over the worst obstacles, taking the most challenging lines without so much as a whimper. Best of all, the Grand Cherokee can lower itself back down and provide a pillow-soft luxury-car ride on the way home from the trail head.

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo has confirmed rumours that head coach Carlo Ancelotti wants to move to Real Madrid, although he has said that the Ligue 1 champions wish him to stay.
Reports in France indicated that the Italian had met with club owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi and the Brazilian club chief on Sunday and revealed his desire to depart Parc des Princes this summer.
PSG have already confirmed that Madrid - whose head coach Jose Mourinho is widely believed to be Chelsea-bound - have bid for Ancelotti but Leonardo is keen to keep hold of the ex-AC Milan trainer.
"Carlo has asked to go to Madrid but we want him to stay on," Leonardo told L'Equipe on Sunday. "No decision has been taken yet, we just listened to Carlo.
"We will look at the situation a little. The priority is still to keep him on. We have never contacted other coaches [while [Ancelotti has been in charge]."
He added to RMC Sport: "Carlo Ancelotti has a contract and it is binding for both parties. At the time that I am speaking, Ancelotti is still PSG coach. Carlo is the best coach for the club, I hope he will stay."
Ancelotti guided PSG - bolstered by the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva and Ezequiel Lavezzi last summer - to their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years earlier in May.
Following les Parisiens' 3-1 win over Stade Brestois on Saturday - in which David Beckham played what is set to be his final professional game - the club have one final game left this season at Lorient next Sunday.

Internships And Seasonal Positions
According to a Monster.com report, "United States Information Technology 2012 Job Conditions: Insights and Analysis from Professionals, Recruiters and Hiring Managers," internships and seasonal positions constitute less than 1 percent of the IT job postings. However, according to VAR Staffing's Bier and Billiar, they've begun noticing a change among VARs in the services sector, in which some solution providers are partnering with local school systems, looking to build their own "pipeline of talent."
"Not so much in the primary markets, but in the tertiary markets, we've talked to the VARs, and they've had such a hard time finding talent that they've been working with the local schools to provide training," Billiar said.
And, it's a win-win for both VARs and soon-to-be graduates. "As an education tool, this is a very intelligent way to go about that, especially if you're looking to grow organically. And, there is a very high correlation that those who intern will get an opportunity if they want."

Story highlights
- "I would like him to win," Mariela Castro says of Obama's election bid
- "Obama needs another opportunity," she adds
- Castro says Alan Gross and the "Cuban 5" should be released
The daughter of Cuba's president supports the re-election bid of U.S. President Barack Obama, but believes he could do more were it not for the pressures he is facing, she said in an interview broadcast Monday on "CNNi's Amanpour."
"As a citizen of the world, I would like him to win," said Mariela Castro Espin, daughter of Raul Castro, in the exclusive interview, which was conducted Friday in New York. "Given the choices, I prefer Obama."
The 49-year-old gay rights advocate said that Obama has been constrained in his ability to effect change. "He wants to do much more than what he's been able to do," she said. "That's the way I interpret it personally. I don't know if I'm being objective."
Still, she said, "I believe that Obama needs another opportunity and he needs greater support to move forward with his projects and with his ideas, which I believe come from the bottom of his heart."
Asked if Obama would lift the half-century-old trade embargo on Cuba if he could, Castro said, "I believe that Obama is a fair man. And I believe Obama needs greater support to be able to make these decisions. If Obama had all the political support of the American people, then we could normalize our relationships, as good or better than we had under President Carter."
During his single term as president, from 1977 to 1981, Jimmy Carter eased restrictions on U.S. travel to Cuba.
Castro added that she supports the release of Alan Gross, a U.S. citizen arrested in Cuba in 2009 and sentenced to 15 years on charges of subversion. But, she added, she also wants to see the release of the "Cuban Five," who are being held in the United States for crimes of espionage.
Castro was unswayed by Gross' recent request that he be allowed to visit his 90-year-old mother before she dies if he promises to return afterward to prison in Cuba.
"Alan Gross has been granted everything that he's asked for: He has been able to see his wife, he has been able to have matrimonial, conjugal visits, and he has been treated with respect and dignity the way we always treat prisoners in Cuba," Castro said. "We haven't received the same treatment on the other hand for our five prisoners who have very long sentences that are not right. I think that the six must be released -- both the five Cubans and Alan Gross."
"Is that what you're saying, that Alan Gross should be released and the Cuban Five?" host Christiane Amanpour asked.
"Of course," Castro responded. "I'm referring to the five Cubans and Alan Gross. I believe that this would be the happiest solution for all involved."
The gay rights activist said that sexual orientation and gender identification are among the rights that Communist Cuba still needs to address. A bill legalizing civil unions, not same-sex marriage, has been proposed, "however, this hasn't happened as yet," she said. "And people who are in same-sex couples do not have any protection in that sense."
She predicted the legislature would address the matter, which her father has not opposed, this year.
Castro said the nation had learned to acknowledge and correct past mistakes after its aggressive quarantine policy for HIV-positive men and women during the early years of the AIDS epidemic was abandoned in 1993.
"I never agreed with these quarantines," she said. "There were several international health organizations that evaluated these quarantines as a positive thing at a time when not much was known about how the epidemic spreads."
Amanpour pointed to a Human Rights Watch description of Cuba as "the only country in Latin America that represses virtually all forms of political dissent."
But Castro said the rights group "does not represent the opinion of the Cuban people. And their informants are mercenaries. They're people who have been paid by a foreign government for media shows that do not represent Cuban positions directly."
She defended her nation as one that allows dissent. "People who dissent don't go to jail," she said. "Everybody in Cuba expresses their view and there's a political participation so that we can express ourselves and question everything."
Holding an opinion contrary to that of the government "enriches the debate," she said. "No one goes to prison for an opinion, rather for serving foreign interests who pay them. That's called being a mercenary and that's penalized in laws everywhere in the world, including the laws of this country."
She said the island's single-party system would disappear if other nations would stop trying to impose their will on Cuba.
"If Cuba's sovereignty weren't threatened, if the internal affairs of Cuba weren't manipulated in media campaigns, if Cuba weren't the subject of an economic and trade embargo, which has caused so many problems for us, then in Cuba, it wouldn't make sense to have a sole party, just one party," she said.
Though some critics have said the nation relies on the embargo to crack down on internal dissent, and that the nation's socialist system would collapse if the United States were to lift the embargo, Castro disagreed about what would happen to her country.
"I think it would become stronger," she said. "This is why they don't lift the embargo."
Castro offered no sympathy for Yoani Sanchez, the dissident blogger inside Cuba who has won multiple awards for her work, which is critical of the Castro government.
"She gives service to foreign powers who are interested in eliminating the Cuban experience," Castro said. "She's an official voice of the global dominant powers."
Castro disputed Sanchez's assertion that she was not allowed to work. "She is allowed to work in Cuba," Castro said. "But she makes much more money with the prizes, which are being sent to her from abroad, than for any work that she might do with the very low wages that we have in Cuba."
Castro predicted that Sanchez's audience will "get bored of hearing lies," and her influence will wane. "She doesn't really fight for authentic rights; she's not committed to the rights movement in Cuba, because she doesn't even participate in any of the debates that are trying to achieve rights."
Castro blamed the trade embargo for the fact that many Cubans are not able to use the Internet. "We pay Internet over satellite, which is very expensive," she said. "We don't have the access to the fiber optic lines that pass by Cuba. We're negotiating with Venezuela to help us so we can maximize access to Internet."
But she said Cubans still have access to "very big social networks."
"There is more access to the Internet in Cuba, legal and illegal, than you can imagine, because the Cuban people are a curious people. And you can't deny us the access to information."
Asked about Sen. Robert Menendez's description of her as "a vocal advocate of the regime, an opponent of democracy, who has defended the brutal repression of democracy activists," Castro called the Democrat from New Jersey "a person who really doesn't have his feet down on the ground."
Asked why the United States had issued Castro a visa, a State Department spokesman noted that she had visited the United States twice during the George W. Bush administration. "However, one should not mistake the fact that a visa was granted to this person with our general policy towards Cuba," Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs Michael A. Hammer told reporters in Washington. "In fact, we want, and we allow freedom of expression in our country, something, which in fact, does not occur in Cuba."

ETBU's Dr. Elijah Brown Named to Baptist World Alliance Nominations Committee
MARSHALL, Texas (7/10/14) – The Baptist World Alliance (BWA) has named an East Texas Baptist University religion professor to the Nominations Committee for the term of 2014-2019. The North American Baptist Fellowship (NABF) recommended Dr. Elijah Brown, Director of the Freedom Center and Associate Professor of Missions, to the committee during meetings of the BWA being held in Izmir, Turkey, July 6-12.
Dr. Brown tweeted from the meeting, "Thank you @NABF for recommendation with @samchaise_cbm to help with nominating committee @TheBWA for 2014-2019. Honored by the opportunity." Sam Chaise, the other NABF nominee, serves with Canadian Baptist Ministries.
Another attendee at the Annual Gathering, George Bullard, president of Columbia Partnership, based in Columbia, South Carolina, posted to his blog (www.BullardJournal.org), "It is important that this group have God's wisdom in choosing a diversity of qualified people to serve BWA in the years to come so it's a true worldwide organization." Bullard also serves as the general secretary of the NABF.
"With 26 member bodies, the North American Baptist Fellowship promotes fellowship and collaboration among Baptists across both Canada and the United States. It is an honor to be selected as one of their representatives to the nominating committee of the Baptist World Alliance," said Dr. Brown from Izmir. "I am grateful for the support offered by East Texas Baptist University and for the willingness of both the NABF and the BWA to intentionally include young leaders in their decision making processes."
Dr. Brown and Chaise join others on the nominations committee who come from Nigeria, Zimbabwe, India, Korea, Turks and Caicos Islands, England, Estonia, Brazil, United States of America and Ecuador. The nominating committee is comprised of the President and General Secretary of the BWA, two members from each of the 6 regions for a total of 12, and three at large members for a grand total of 15 individuals plus two at large members. One of those at-large members is also from the USA: Naomi Tyler Lloyd.
"I am prayerful that over the next five years the incoming nominating committee will continue to help connect leaders, experts and key practitioners from across the world to the ongoing work and vibrancy of the BWA, one of the most vital fellowships and witnesses in our world today," concluded Dr. Brown.
The BWA is a fellowship of 228 conventions and unions in 121 countries and territories comprising 42 million members in 177,000 churches.
Dr. Brown has been teaching in the ETBU School of Christian Studies since 2009.

The appointment comes in anticipation of Benz's retirement in the first quarter of 2013. Over the remainder of 2012, Brown will become familiar with GWI's diverse operations, including those in Australia and the two will be working closely to ensure a smooth transition at the end of Benz's tenure. Following the transition, Brown will be responsible for GWI's 10 operating regions in North America, Australia and Europe.
From 2010 to early 2012, Brown was executive vice president and COO of CSX Transportation. He was chief transportation officer for CSX from 2006 to 2010 and prior to that, served 25 years with Norfolk Southern in roles ranging from strategic planning to the integration of the Conrail acquisition.
In 1987, Benz founded Rail Link Inc., which was acquired by GWI in 1996. Over nine years, he built Rail Link into GWI's largest operating region. In 2005, Benz was appointed COO of GWI.
"Both Jim and David have extraordinary track records of success in railroad operations and we will benefit from a long overlap in the transition to Jim's retirement," said Jack Hellmann, president and CEO. "We are grateful for what Jim has helped GWI become over the past 16 years and we look forward to David building on that success in the years ahead."

He gets my vote for the best 007 agent any day
I want his tongue in my mouth and his dick up my ass.
I can't agree more mikey40
Pierce is so HOT !
oh my god¡¡¡¡
this man is so hot¡¡¡
I don't know. Pierce is kind of hit or miss me. Some pictures turn me on and some are just - bleh.
I find him boring.
Was he on remington steele?
awed by the power of words
Here are some I have cum across......
From his movies "Nomads" and "Livewire".........
Damn that Rene Russo! Lucky bitch!
Peace Love and Handjobs
My tumblr: http://bwdl2.tumblr.com/
that belly make me crazy
I have had the biggest crush on him forever, still is such a stud!
He's the James Bond I grew up. Still as goodlooking as ever.
Pierce has a HUGE black bush. A bush I so badly want to sniff. The man is perfect.
Well, his looks had to go eventually.
He had done pretty well out of them for thirty years. He was no Laurence Olivier but he managed to get leading man roles. And I never rated him as James Bond. Too smug and one dimensional especially after the superb Tim Dalton.
You made hay while the sun shined Pierce. Fairy play to you on that.
So hot !
He is so hot !

Monthly webinar series on land-use issues to start July 17
Monthly webinar series on land-use issues to start July 17
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- A new series of Web-based seminars offered by Penn State Extension will cover issues related to land use.
Kicking off July 17, the 75-minute, monthly webinars will be offered from noon to 1:15 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month. The sessions will include time for questions and answers.
The workshops are intended to help planners, elected officials and concerned citizens come together to make better land-use decisions, noted Peter Wulfhorst, economic and community development extension educator based in Pike County, who is coordinating the webinars.
"Through this webinar series, you can learn more about planning and current planning issues," he said. "The presentations will cover local regulations and how and why they are created, as well as planning tools and resources available to decision makers in Pennsylvania.
"Participants will learn how to engage in planning to benefit their community."
The July 17 session, "Solar Model Ordinance: Not to be Confused with the Sunshine Act," will be moderated by Ed Johnstonbaugh, Penn State Extension educator in Westmoreland County. That webinar will feature Evan Endres, with PennFuture, and Andrew Schwartz, managing principal of Environmental Planning and Design.
With the rapid growth of solar energy, municipalities are scrambling to understand how to incorporate and regulate this resource, Johnstonbaugh noted.
"Evan Endres will provide a brief overview of the resources created for municipalities by the U.S. Department of Energy's Rooftop Solar Challenge Team in western Pennsylvania," he said.
"Project consultant Andrew Schwartz will provide an in-depth review of the model zoning ordinance and guidance on implementation. Participants also will be able to access model best practices and resources."
Other planned webinars in the series will cover the following topics:
-- Aug. 21: "Transportation Connectivity and Land Use"
-- Sept. 18: "The ABCs of Form-based Codes"
-- Oct. 16: "Fiscal Impacts of Different Land Uses"
-- Nov. 20: "Facing the Challenges of Plan Implementation"
The cost of the webinar series is $30 for all five webinars and $60 for all five webinars for those who want to get CM credits from the American Planning Association.
For more information, contact Peter Wulfhorst at 570-296-3400, ext. 1445, or by email at email@example.com, or visit the website to register for the webinars.

Warren in Worcester, 25 Sept 2008
Also on Thursday, 25 September, the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester is hosting a lecture by author Nancy Rubin Stuart based on her new book, The Muse of the Revolution: The Secret Pen of Mercy Otis Warren and the Founding of a Nation. The description:
Mercy Otis Warren was also the fiery wife of Massachusetts patriot James Warren, the mother of five sons, and friend and close colleague to John and Abigail Adams. Warren secretly authored anti-British plays during the Revolution, penned an influential pamphlet arguing for a Bill of Rights, and authored The History of the Rise, Progress and Termination of the American Revolution.Warren also produced a mind-bogglingly impressive piece of embroidery now at the Pilgrim Hall museum in Plymouth, so I've come to think of her as Revolutionary New England's "woman who does everything more beautifully than you."
Stuart has written biographies about spiritualist Maggie Fox, industrialist Marjorie Merriweather Post, and monarch Isabella of Castile.
