Brie Larson won the Best Actress in a Drama award at Sunday's Golden Globes for her role in Room, a film about a mother and her young son (Jacob Tremblay) living in captivity and then adjusting to the outside world after their escape.
"This movie means so much to me and so I need to start at the beginning with Emma Donoghue, who wrote the novel that inspired all of this," Larson said in her speech before going on to thank Room director Lenny Abrahamson and costar Jacob Tremblay.

Backstage, Larson shared that Tremblay "tackled" her after the win and guessed that he'll probably celebrate by dancing. "Knowing him, he's probably in a throng of Johnny Depp and Will Smith and Amy Schumer, like, starting a conga line somewhere," she said. "So I should probably get back to that."
Although this marks Larson's first Golden Globe nomination and win, she's no stranger to critical acclaim: EW has called her turn as a supervisor at a home for teens in 2013's Short Term 12 as "what emotionally naked acting is all about" and "so affecting."
"She can go very deep into character but with this amazing lightness of foot," Abrahamson previously told EW. "And a lack of that showy intensity which is sometimes mistaken for great acting."
Aside from Room, Larson also appeared in Amy Schumer's Trainwreck in 2015 and is starring in the upcoming Kong: Skull Island, the latest addition to the King Kong franchise.

Buyers beware: the salary cap is breeding albatross stars
Well, the point became moot in 2009 when Nash signed an eight-year, $62.4 million extension with the Jackets. In the meantime, many teams saw divine terms as critical when it came to their emerging, twenty-something stars.
It began with the 2004 Stanley Cup-winning Tampa Bay Lightning and their title defense delayed a year by the work stoppage. Then-GM Jay Feaster scrambled to keep Dan Boyle, Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis in town. It was a transitional quandary: how do you keep a team together -- rewarding its stars like champions usually are -- under new, different rules and regulations?
The Lightning struggled until recently, mostly due to the incompetence of an interim ownership group rather than anything Feaster or the Davidson family did. The franchise has now come full circle with solid new ownership and stable, committed management. The Lightning do, however, still own an arduous 11-year, $85 million contract extension, with a no-trade clause, that was bestowed upon Lecavalier by the now deposed former ownership partnership of Oren Koules and Len Barrie.
Miscalculation can happen in a minute. And fat, extra-lengthy deals are now fraught with team risk regarding production drop-off, injury and even a star's failure to mesh with a new coach's system or teammates. This past July, new Lightning GM Steve Yzerman signed St. Louis to a four-year, $22.5 million extension, which is a nice nod to a still productive, 35-year-old veteran. Yet, with Steve Stamkos a year away from a megadeal, is fiscal Lightning striking twice in Tampa?
Don't get me wrong. There are organizations out there that eschew contracts that constrict -- deals that make it hard to move a player if need be, or bloat a budget to the point of roster stasis. The Los Angeles Kings and St. Louis Blues come to mind as excellent models. And while there are a few variations on how to build a team without solely relying on drafting well, that mindset has become the most prevalent.
It worked rather quickly in Pittsburgh and Chicago with championships in both cities, but stringent economics entered the equation after the fact. The Penguins locked up their core players in Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal, Marc-Andre Fleury and Kris Letang, leaving little with which to build a supporting cast. The Blackhawks had to vet most of their support players to become cap compliant.
Those details we waded through all summer long. We couldn't get away from the business side of things, with the immediate dismantling of a championship team and Ilya Kovalchuk's 15-year, $100 million deal with the Devils at the forefront. The Blackhawks knew they had to deal with their roster a year ago, as one management group replaced another and transition meant reconfiguring. Meanwhile, Kovalchuk's unrestricted free agency became the tipping point for the league, leading to mediation over his initial 17-year, $102 million contract and eventual restrictions on unrestricted deals. Even worse for the Devils, Kovalchuk has become a lightning rod during the team's stumbling start.
TRUTH & RUMORS:Kovalchuk deal unravels Devils
Questions have been raised about how well such an offensive force will fit on a traditionally defense-minded team, and Kovalchuk's recent benching for being late to a team meeting raised the spectre of a player who becomes more trouble than he's worth. When a series of injuries hit, the Devils were left to play with a short bench for a time until they could free up some temporary cap room by assigning Brian Rolston, and now Zach Parise, to long-term injured reserve.
It's also clear that in a league where a player of Kovalchuk's caliber can receive few substantive offers during free agency because few teams can accomodate his demands, the team that ultimately signs him can easily be stuck with him for better, worse, buyout, waivers, or fire sale trade -- the usual options for dealing with an albatross.
GALLERY:Notable NHL albatross players
That's not where anyone saw this process going "way back" in 2005 when Nash signed with the Jackets and Kovalchuk inked with Atlanta where raw dollars ($32 million) came into question with his five-year deal. In the five years since, contracts have morphed from big-budget mid-range deals for restricted free agents into long-term monsters like Philadelphia's 12-year, $69 million contract with captain Mike Richards -- who was still in his early twenties when he agreed with the Flyers -- to front-loaded contracts of even longer duration to amortize the cap hit.
All these gyrations have made it difficult to differentiate between a wise deal and simply business as usual based on market conditions. Right now, market conditions in terms of big superstar contracts and cap restrictions are hardly friendly.

There are many different types of interactive science activities, usually based on the particular field of science being considered and the type of equipment available. One of the most common activities is experimentation, especially in classes dealing with physical sciences and chemistry. There are also a number of activities that can involve observation and action taken on the part of the observer, usually to test ideas or find differences in various objects. Some types of interactive science activities are also done with the use of computers and other forms of technology.
Interactive science activities are those activities that are used to help demonstrate scientific ideas to someone in a way that goes beyond passive listening or viewing. These activities often serve to help someone better understand the realities of a scientific concept or to allow someone to come to certain scientific conclusions himself or herself. While many subjects in school can be made interactive, science is certainly one of the easiest fields to utilize.
The study of physical sciences provides a number of opportunities for a teacher or student to use interactive science activities. Biology could include activities such as looking at how animals in a zoo move and then trying to replicate those movements to see how the muscles and bone structure of the human body differ from those of other animals. Physics can often be studied through the use of simple experimentation, such as by dropping several objects and recording their fall times to understand constant acceleration due to gravity. Interactive science activities in chemistry can also involve active experimentation, though this typically includes the observation of how various chemicals combine and react to each other.
There are also many interactive science activities that utilize computers and various types of technological equipment. The previous example of dropping objects to observe physical properties could be assisted by a computer and a camera that tracks the movements of the objects and records velocity to help a student better understand how velocity, acceleration, and gravity are all connected. There are also a variety of computer programs that can be used to study science in ways that may be easier than direct observation. These sorts of interactive science activities include virtual planetariums that allow a student to look at stars on a computer monitor, biology presentations that let students interact with and explore cell structures, and computer animations that demonstrate how disparate particles and bits of mass could come together and form the stars and planets of a solar system.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

A Gift Idea For Stylish CommutersTuesday 7 October 2014 • By kath
I'm a dedicated user of public transport, but I'll be the first to admit that it's not the most glamourous method of travel.
At this time of year buses and trains are rammed with commuters more concerned with wrapping up against the horrible weather and avoiding the bugs of fellow travellers than looking stylish en route. Perfect hair and make up gets a battering as windows steam up with the collective body heat of soggy, frustrated passengers.
Small luxuries bring a sliver of pleasure to the daily routine, and by treating yourself to something like a lovely hand crafted leather travel pass holder, you can inject your daily commute with a bit of style.
Liz bought me this cracking specimen from an Etsy seller called Tovi Sorga last Christmas. Not only has it replaced the standard issue plastic pass cover which was falling apart, but it also makes me feel a cut above the rest on the 97 bus, and I'm sure I've clocked a few envious looks from fellow passengers (or they could have just been giving me the side eye for inadvertently pushing in front of them in the queue…).
Torvi Sorga also make a whole range of other leather goods in bold prints and graphics that would make great gfits (I won't mention the C word yet, but if you're organised enough, go for it).

Billions of bushels of Minnesota farm products have started their journeys to world markets with a 14.7-mile ride down the Minnesota River. At that point the Minnesota joins the Mighty Mississippi, and barges continue 1500 miles, where their cargoes are loaded onto freighters and sent into the Gulf of Mexico and from there to all points.
The Upper Mississippi Watershed Association, a group representing both commercial and recreational interests on the Mississippi and its major tributaries in Minnesota and Iowa, organized a paddleboat tour on August 22 to help focus attention on the importance of the Minnesota River.
Since 1982, what is now CHS, Inc., has operated one of the four elevators located at the Port of Savage on the Minnesota River. Since that time 29,000 barges have departed from the CHS slip, carrying 1.6 billion bushels of corn, beans and increasingly distillers dried grains and solubles, according to Clint Gergen, a representative of CHS who took part in the river tour.
Gergen noted that farm product traffic on the river has slowed, but he hopes that strategic changes might reverse that trend, in particular an effort to develop capacity to deliver non-GMO products to markets like Japan. A key to this, and to access to all world markets, is the imminent conversion of the Panama canal to make it serviceable for the current class of ocean-going freighters. (Currently, such freighters must offload their cargo onto smaller 'Panamax' vessels, in order to use the canal, and then reload onto larger vessels on the other end of the canal).
The touring party included journalists, government officials, academics and citizen volunteers who are concerned about river issues. The tour was funded by MNDOT, Minnesota Soybean Growers Association and the Upper Mississippi Watershed Association.
Minnesota Department of Transportation sent several representatives, to speak to the importance of the river as part of the intermodal approach—meaning roads, rail, air and water transportation must all work in concert in order to achieve the highest efficiency. One of the effects of intermodality is that the various forms of transportation compete for customers, keeping the cost lower for all users.
"We keep the railroads honest," said Greg Genz, with Kaposia Marine Service, and a representative of Upper Mississippi Watershed Association. Genz and Gergen describe the capacity at Savage, which CHS and Cargill continue to maintain. The two companies can load 40 barges daily, though current use has fallen significantly below that mark.
"If the river shippers weren't there, the farmers would be getting hit with a lot higher basis for transport. That's because the capacity is still there, hasn't gone away.
A group of soil and water scientists led by University of Minnesota Prof Satish Gupta, and Warren Formo, director of Minnesota Agricultural Water Resources Center, both spoke to the question of sediment loading in the river. Gupta's current research focuses on the role of groundwater seepage in the undermining of riverbank soil structure along the Minnesota. This seepage leads to slumping of riverbanks and huge volumes of clayey soil enter the river in this way and become suspended sediment. The tour took a run upriver to a bluff in Eden Prairie where the location of several high value homes has become increasingly precarious, due to this seepage-slumping effect.
The effect of the 2012 drought was very evident as the tour made its way both up and down the river. Along the entire length, it was clear that the river is well below its high water mark. Because of the reduced flow, the normally cloudy brown look of the river has become a light green—reflecting increased algae production due to how stagnant the water is.
One university scientist remarked that the high sediment load in the Minnesota River is a function of the relative youth of the river—it was only formed about 14,000 years ago, after the retreat of the most recent glacier sheet to cover Minnesota. The slumping of streambanks is the river's natural process of achieving dynamic equilibrium. Left to its own devices, the river would eventually become much wider and shallower and the sediment load would drop dramatically. The scientist pointed out that riverside private property and other public uses make it undesirable to leave the river to its natural process. The science of managing streambanks, however, is also young.
When someone asked if anyone had considered riprapping the whole length of the Minnesota River—riprapping being the method of controlling erosion by putting a layer of rocks over that streambank—the scientist noted that the US Army Corps of Engineers studied a potential project to riprap 1,000 yards of the river near Rice Lake, and found that the cost for that one segment would be $1 million dollars.

Post a mJob
LinkedIn has been around since 2002 and while it might not be as popular as Facebook or Instagram, it's definitely high up on the list of useful social media platforms—especially for companies and professionals. LinkedIn was built in with business in mind and it's there to help you find future employees or employers, connect with other people in your industry, and build a strong profile that everyone will want to click on.
However, what most people tend to forget is that LinkedIn can also be used to your business's advantage, i.e. to help you establish authority, grow your audience, and more. Sure, you can do this with other networks, but LinkedIn is, without a doubt, the best place for you and your business to build a professional profile. So, how can you make the most of LinkedIn marketing? What are the best practices when it comes to this platform? Find out below.
Fill In And Optimize Your Profile
Before you start posting anything on LinkedIn, you're going to want to completely fill in every possible section of your profile. Upload a picture, write a description of your company, provide users with your contact information, and get your employees to connect to your business's account. Once that's done, go ahead and optimize your profile with keywords you want people to find you with. Distribute them across your profile in a natural way (this will help you rank better) and don't forget to make your profile visible to everyone.
Figure Out What To Post
Just like on any other social network, you can post content on LinkedIn, too, and drive the traffic you want to your business. While you can publish whatever you want (blog posts, reviews, useful links, etc.), it's better to find out what your followers enjoy and adjust your strategy according to them. Visuals (people are 11 times more likely to click on your post if it comes with a photo), audience-specific content, industry or career-related articles have all proven to be extremely successful on LinkedIn.
Have Your Employees Share Content
One of the most important things to do after you publish a piece of content on LinkedIn is have others share it from their profiles. That being said, you should encourage your employees to share the post in order to gain more exposure. However, bear in mind that they might be hesitant to do this because they might feel it's not appropriate to do so or are not sure what to share exactly. Let them know which post they should promote and inspire them to do so—this will do wonders for your business.
Maintain Your LinkedIn Account
One of the biggest mistakes you can make with any social media account is not dedicate enough attention to it. If you want to gain more followers, expose your brand to the world, and get the recognition you deserve, you're going to have to work for it. This means publishing posts frequently (one per day will suffice), engaging with your audience (e.g. answering comments), updating profile information and photos regularly, posting job opportunities, and generally making yourself available to your followers. If you are unable to do this, there are plenty of people who offer LinkedIn services and can do it for you!
Track Your Progress And Success
If you want to know how your business is doing on LinkedIn, then you need to monitor everything that's going on. LinkedIn Analytics can be of huge help to you here, so don't hesitate to make use of it and follow your progress (and, ultimately, success). You can learn who reads your content, which industry they're from, how many clicks and impressions you received, how many new followers you gained, and so much more. With that information, you will know exactly what you need to work on to improve your strategy.
Remember To Use LinkedIn Pulse
Publishing your content on LinkedIn Pulse comes with a number of benefits and it is definitely something you shouldn't miss out on. With Pulse, you not only get to dig deeper into your target audience and find out what they're like, but also tag your content (for better searchability), get backlinks, and boost your brand awareness. Research has shown that posts that do best on LinkedIn Pulse are under one thousand words long, contain content about careers, have fantastic headlines, and come with visuals/images.
If you want to expose your brand to a professional community, there's no better social media platform for you than LinkedIn. LinkedIn allows marketers to target their ads based on, for example, job titles or industries, and display their advertisements to people who are interested in their company/product/services. Seeing that the audience on LinkedIn won't mind seeing your ads, investing some of your budget into advertising on LinkedIn is definitely worth the money. Here are some tips on how you can get the most out of LinkedIn ads, starting today.
Write A Strong Copy
If you have any experience with SEO, copywriting, or marketing in general, then you know just how powerful words can be. LinkedIn ads are no different than any other copy out there—the better it is, the more attention it will attract. It's as simple as that. If you want to capture the attention of your audience, make your ads clear and useful, your titles eye-catching, and keep the message simple. You can and should show that you are familiar with the industry you're talking about, but don't use only jargon if you don't want to bore your audience.
Use Relevant Images
Finding a great photo to match your copy is hard, but if you do find the perfect one, you'll have more chances for people to notice your ad. Visuals are the simplest ways to grab your audience's attention and make your ads more appealing, so don't forget to include a relevant photo in your LinkedIn advertisement. LinkedIn itself says in its Help section that "Sponsored content with images and video tends to perform better". It's best that you use your own photos, but if you can't, rely on stock images for help.
Target The Right Groups
Before you go about creating your ad, do your research and build audience personas. This will help you find out which group your customers belong to and how to target them. Now, like we already said, you can target your audience based on job titles/functions, categories, or even features. What's important to remember is that you need to mention that specific job title, category, or feature/product in your ad if you want your audience to notice you. This way, only the right people will click on your ad and you won't waste your budget.
Test Everything Out
This is incredibly useful and important when it comes to any type of ads, really. Before your ad goes live, try testing out different versions of the ad to find out which one works the best for you. If you opt for the text ad option, you'll be able to create up to 15 variations of one ad, which will ultimately tell you what attracts people the most to your ad. Change up the image, title, content, and destination to see what your users enjoy and what they'd like to see more of. Don't be afraid to experiment when it comes to this.
Bid A Bit Higher
LinkedIn offers what is called a "suggested bid range", which basically means this: the higher the bid, the higher are the chances for it to be better than that of your competition. If your bid "loses", you'll get less impressions and clicks. So, don't be afraid to bid above the suggested bid in order to get to the top of the auction and obtain the necessary impressions/clicks. Aside from bids, you can also set your daily budget on LinkedIn by either cost per click (CPC) or cost per thousand impressions (CPM).
Track Your Ads' Performance
Measuring how your ads perform is important, because how else are you going to work on improving your ROI and your ads? Thanks to the LinkedIn ads campaign manager you can monitor your impressions, costs, clicks, and other metrics with ease. This way, you'll find out what's working for your business and what's best to forget about in your future campaigns. Tracking your ads on LinkedIn (using analytics) is also important because they can be a bit more expensive than ads on other social media platforms.

South Puget Sound Region-Department of Natural Resources
FOR NORSE PEAK FIRE INFORMATION, PLEASE VISIT: https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/5509/#
Sawmill Creek Overview
The Sawmill Creek Fire started September 4, 2017 and the cause is still under investigation. Local and state resources responded quickly to the fire but were hampered by steep rocky terrain, smoky conditions, and limited road access.
Geographically the Sawmill Creek fire is north of a larger fire in the area, the Norse Peak fire. The Norse Peak fire had been established in the Wenatchee National Forest starting August 11. Initial air and ground operations were hampered the first 48 hours of the fire due to heavy smoke from both incidents. Responding agencies took a defensive stance for the first couple of days for firefighter safety due to the smoke, terrain difficulties, and fire activity.
September 6, 2017 the Type 3 South East Washington Interagency Team 1 assumed command of the Sawmill Creek Fire. The evening of the 6th a public meeting was held at Greenwater FD to discuss evacuations and closures with the Greenwater, Alta Vista, and Crystal Mountain Resort communities.
September 9, 2017 the Type 2 So Cal Team 3 assumed command of the Sawmill Creek Fire. The operational strategy remained the same; providing for firefighter and public safety followed by protecting natural resources and infrastructure.
September 11, 2017 So Cal Team 3 took over management of the North Zone of the Norse Peak fire. The Norse Peak was divided into a North and South Zone by the Pacific Coast Trail. Doing this allowed for resources to mobilize each day from the Enumclaw Incident Command Post, which was closer to their assigned divisions along the North/Western flank of the Norse Peak fire.
Fire behavior was moderate through the second week of September with sunny skies and daily humidity levels dropping down to the 20% range. Sunday, September 17th saw a big change in the weather brining cooler temps, higher humidity and moderate to heavy rain at times. At this point it was decided to bring all three fires in the area under one command.
September 17, 2017 at 6 p.m. the Type 1 Pacific North West Team 3 assumed command of the South Branch of the Norse Peak Fire. The following day, September 18, 2017 at 6 a.m., they assumed command of the Sawmill Creek fire and the North Branch of the Norse Peak fire.
September 20, 2017 all planned operations were complete and the fire was placed in monitor status.
September 23, 2017 the Sawmill Creek fire transitioned back to the local Washington Department of Natural Resources, South Puget Sound Region.
|Current as of

Generally, creeping and smoldering. Some slow surface spread in heavy fuels under heavy canopy.
|Planned Actions
Monitor Sawmill fire and prepare to implement fire suppression repair per DNR and Forest direction.
|Projected Incident Activity
Cold and wet weather pattern is expected to reduce fire activity to creeping, smoldering. This will further reduce fire spread.
Fire will transition back to local unit at 0600 on 9/23/2017.
|Weather Concerns
Clearing skies gave way to a few clouds this afternoon today with Isolated showers in the region, but wetting rains is unlikely. Temperatures warmed into the 40s for the upper elevations of the fire area, with mainly 50s in the lower elevations. After excellent overnight relative humidity recovery, values stayed
high with most locations staying above 50%. The wind was light and terrain driven except on ridge tops where gusts to 15 mph were possible. Temperatures warm slightly tomorrow with highs in the 40s and 50s. The relative humidity will be above 45% with excellent recovery once again. Skies should be clear to partly
cloudy with northwest winds on ridge tops of 10-15 mph.

text: This analysis reflects on the use of multidimensional constructs for the study of social learning in natural resource management. Insight from deliberative democracy and adult learning literature are used to ground the identified four dimensions (the moral dimension the cognitive dimension, the relational dimension and trust). Then, a selection of empirical cases is surveyed with the aim to develop and understanding how well the empirical outcomes reported by these sit against the insights borrowed from the deliberative democracy and pedagogy literature. The paper concludes with some recommendations for future research.

In all the hype around Software as a Service (SaaS) as a way to bring down prices and drive value to the customer, one thing is conveniently overlooked: SaaS is the ultimate lock-in platform.
As Chris Keene, CEO of Wavemaker, suggests, however, SaaS may well succumb to the same forces that are driving software to open up:
Although SaaS development platforms like SalesForce and Coghead have gotten a lot of attention, this market has so far been remarkably closed and proprietary. The Platform as a Service leader, SalesForce, has both a draconian hosting policy (host your apps and data anywhere, as long as it's with us!) but also a proprietary language (who needs Java when you've got Apex!?).
Moving forward, the same trends driving open source adoption everywhere else in the industry will ultimately drive SaaS adoption of open source, particularly by ISVs whose business plan does not include a low multiple sale to their proprietary hosting provider. Future SaaS platforms will converge with traditional tools, offering on-demand development based on traditional programming languages with built-in tools for mash-up based development for basic users.
Who will drive this move to open? Well, Chris clearly feels that his company, Wavemaker, will be among them (though I have money on Bungee Labs to help fuel this move, as well: Bungee is not nearly as closed as Chris' post would suggest). But the real driver of this will be Google.
Google already has open-source Gears, and is also increasingly opening up its App Engine. Over time, Google will determine this market, and its stance is increasingly open. Open source, open APIs, and open data.
At that point, service will determine who wins the most customers and operational efficiency will determine who profits most from them. The former will be increasingly influenced by those vendors who make "software" easy to use. The latter will be influenced by those who quickly learn to manage scale through tools like Reductive Labs' Puppet, Amazon's EC2, etc.
Disclosure: I am an advisor to Bungee Labs.

The Old That Inspire The New
It's obvious we can't get enough of the old stuff and we can't get it out of our head too, they inspire the new we make.
It should come as no surprise that Katharine Hepburn and her signature slacks and black t-shirt have been copied countless times by designers. For fall, the look was a major touchpoint for designer Christophe Lemaire, and it's an outfit that's just as timeless in 2014 as it was in 1940 when Hepburn wore it in "The Philadelphia Story."
Similarly, designers from Joseph Altuzarra to Marchesa sourced inspiration from the favorite silhouettes of old Hollywood stars for fall, and have created more than a few items that look like they could have been ripped from the closets of the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, and Rita Hayworth.

This week we hosted our first Book Review - At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon. What a delightful time we had sharing together our thoughts and relishing in the sweetness of this wonderful book. We all deemed it a classic as it is a book you can read over and over again. One of our guests said, "Oh, I loved visiting Mitford again..." If you haven't had a chance to read this series, we would highly recommend it!!
The book review included a buffet tea - here is a sampling of the menu:
August 2010
The Rector's Artichoke Dip and Crackers
Mitford's Fresh Fruit With Dip and Cheese Bites
Cynthia's Chicken Salad Croissant
Puny's Lemon Yogurt Bread and Spread
Dooley's Gingersnap Cookies
Esther's Marmalade Cake
Follow Your Heart Sugar Cookies
Of course, we had to try out Esther's famous Marmalade Cake...I was a little intimidated by this cake...you know how it is, when you don't plan on taking something somewhere, it always turns out, but when you NEED your baked item to turn out, sometimes it doesn't! That was my biggest fear with the cake...and "would it taste good?" Well, the answer was "YES, it tasted fantastic!!" and despite our worries...it turned out beautiful.
Hope you enjoy the pictures...perhaps you will join us again in the future for another Book Review Tea Party!!

Illustrator Charles Addams was born on 7 January 1912 in Westfield, New Jersey. It was his father who encouraged the rebellious 'rascal' to draw, starting out with cartoons for his High School literary magazine. His first job was for True Detective magazine where he had to re-touch photos of corpses which appeared in stories. Known for his macabre humour, Addams was quoted as saying, "A lot of those corpses were more interesting the way they were".

Last month I headed to Austin, Texas for SXSW to discover a lot more than one expected, but was ready for the adventure. Sit back, roll one and prepare to venture with me as I take you to Texas, where the weed is illegal on any level.
Imagine if you will: traveling to a place beyond sight and sound in a state that in some parts will put you in jail for less than a gram of cannabis…you've entered The Prohibition Zone.
As soon as the plane landed in the Lone Star State, the adventure began with a big "how ya'll doing?" from my Lyft driver. My hotel is in a town called Round Rock, where it just so happens that if you are caught with so much as a joint, you could spend some time in jail — the Lyft driver was very informative on these matters. The fear was starting to set in, so I took a few TetraLabs Gold caps to keep my cool. Just as the Lyft arrived at the hotel, my host pulls up in his vehicle and this was is no ordinary car or truck on the downlow — it was a freakin' weed ambulance!
My host, Pete Marrero, is a passionate supporter of the cannabis movement in Texas, and he's invited The 420 Times to be part of the show that he has organized for the last day of SXSW. Pete has to be one of the most interesting guys I've met over the years working for The 420 Times. An entrepreneur in his own right, his journey in cannabis activism started off like many throughout the country, he enjoyed cannabis in his younger years, but then he had a cancer scare. He began using cannabis and related products for medicinal purposes and once the scare had passed, he decided to make it his mission to educate others.
For several years, he has been involved with NORML (National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws) in his home state of Texas, as well as on the national level. Somewhere along the way in his activism journey, he discovered a company that makes CBD lollipops called Weed World Candies. He recognized the opportunity to stay working in his long-time music business while at the same time support the movement that he is so passionate about. Now he spreads the word about cannabis throughout the country in this weed ambulance offering up CBD lollipops wherever he goes. The stories that he shared about his experiences driving a "weed ambulance" are epic as one could imagine. It takes guts and glory to drive around the country in states that may have zero medical cannabis laws, including his home state.
In the music industry, Pete is well known for being passionate about the artists that he works with and the music they produce. With over 20 years of experience in the music business, Pete has worked with major record labels and started his own business in 1999 called PVM Entertainment — so I am very excited to see what Pete has planned for tonight's show.
Planning a gig on the closing night of SXSW in the thick of 6th Street is no easy feat, considering there are literally over a hundred different events going on at the same time. Show time and the lights go up for a band from Pasadena called The Letters Home; they volunteered to start up the audience with their own brand of funk, soul, and rock stylings. They certainly have a sound all their own and worth checking out. Next up happens to be another Southern California artist by the name of Semi, who has her own style of hip-hop, a strong female voice. Gangsta Boo from the hip-hop band Three 6 Mafia lit up the stage with her unique and powerful female hip-hop perspective. The night continued with a variety of hip-hop artists that are staking a claim on their music career as well as some well-known old school artists. The line-up included Nappy Roots, Killah Priest from the infamous WuTang Clan, Devin The Dude, Lil Cas, Grim Nasty, Sterling, Dirty Wormz, and IlliZem. The night wrapped up with hip-hop legend, Keith Murray.
The next day we had a chance to talk about some of Pete's experiences driving the weed ambulance all over the country. Stories of police pulling him over for no reason, or more often, the police just want to take a picture next to the ambulance. Pete explains it this way: "It's all about your approach and how you communicate with law enforcement, generally curiosity is the biggest reason I get pulled over and often I get excited at the opportunity to interact with them and ultimately give them some knowledge about the non-psychoactive part of the plant that helps so many people — and yes, it is legal."
Most interactions he has with the police are positive. However, about a year ago, Pete's trip to a car show that one of his friends was producing in Waco turned into a fiasco. The Weed World ambulance would soon have an entire city of law enforcement along with the DEA swarming the convention center parking lot surrounding him. They immediately accused him of selling narcotics in the city, he explained to Commander Crook (yes, that is her real name!), "This product has CBD inside which is completely legal, so how could I sell a THC product in Texas knowing that it is against the law, I live in Texas."
He proceeded to explain to her what CBD is and how it is not illegal to sell products with CBD only. He proceeds to show her pictures of other law enforcement officers next to the ambulance and explains that the truck is flashy for a reason, it is a moving billboard, but the only products he sells are these completely legal CBD lollipops. Again, it doesn't compute with the commander as she looks around the situation of over 50 law enforcement officers and DEA agents all looking to her for direction. She puts her arm around Pete and tells him that she wants to field test the products and search the truck; she explains that he should expect that law enforcement is going to have questions when there is a vehicle with marijuana all over it and that it would cause concern. He explains to her that he normally contacts the cities prior to coming into town just to give them a heads up; however this was a spur of the moment trip to his friend's car show. He knows that driving through small towns quickly generates chatter about this weed ambulance that drove through and the controversy and attention it brings — that's the point.
Pete completely complies with her demand, and after some time, the officers come back puzzled that they can't find any THC in the lollipops. This of course is not good enough for their efforts, so the commander decided to seize all of the lollipops as well as his cash, which ultimately got returned to him the next day. They did, however, confiscate his large supply of lollipops for further testing. The lollipops would stay with the DEA for 5 months and 29 days, just one day short of the DEA having to pay him for what they took, since he wasn't arrested or charged with anything.
Through it all, Pete stays calm and cooperative with the police, and quite often they are a bit taken aback by how calm and respectful he is with them. There have been other occasions of being harassed and threatened with jail simply because many law enforcement officers are not educated about CBD — and in one case in Corpus Christi they thought the lollipops had synthetic THC inside and were ready to arrest Pete, but after several hours of being detained, and again the DEA was called, they released him. Pete's attitude is very positive and he explains "these adventures are mainly an opportunity to spark the conversation with law enforcement, it's not just about making money or going to fun events, I see it as a chance to create a forum for education. I don't mind being detained; I don't mind being questioned because I'm not doing anything wrong. At the end of the day, if I have had an opportunity to make an impact for the movement and educate the public and law enforcement, my job is done."

BIOFACH 2015:experience and enjoy vegan organic food
· First VEGAN World of Experience at BIOFACH presents vegan lifestyle
From trend to experience! What started as the VEGAN trend category on the Novelty Stand at BIOFACH 2014 becomes the VEGAN World of Experience from 11–14 February 2015, when this celebrates its premiere in hall 6 of the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg. The event is organized in cooperation with the German vegetarian society VEBU (Vegetarierbund Deutschland). Some 100 exhibitors will present their products in the VEGAN World of Experience at the World's leading Trade Fair for Organic Food. BIOFACH visitors can then get to know the variety of the vegan lifestyle and vegan food. Cooks give ideas for the trade and for out-of-home catering at cookery shows and tasting sessions. The spectrum of topics ranges from gastronomy, certification, regional, seasonal food, urban gardening and organic vegan farming to baking, raw food, superfoods and consumer protection. 2,200 exhibitors – 200 of them at the International Trade Fair for Natural Personal Care – and about 42,000 trade visitors are expected at the BIOFACH and VIVANESS exhibition duo in 2015.
Seven million people in Germany lead a vegetarian way of life, 900,000 of them are vegans. BIOFACH in cooperation with VEBU, Berlin (D), is organizing
the VEGAN World of Experience for the first time. About
100 manufacturers will present vegan organic products there. The World of Experience offers scope for talks with experts and B2B networking. The VEBU business team will be available with many experts on the veggie market to offer visitors marketing expertise. An overview of the current market situation and a look at the needs of the target group make the VEGAN World of Experience interesting for all those who ask themselves what customers with vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian lifestyles want from the market.
Initiatives and organizations, including the Vegan Society of Birmingham (GB), present the diverse facets of a vegan life. Readings, a book lounge, panel discussions and brief presentations show the visitors the whole spectrum of vegan lifestyle and nutrition.
Vegan at home, vegan to go and vegan out-of-home catering
Vegan food is not only playing an increasing role in private kitchens and dining rooms, but also out of the home. For example, a well-known American coffee chain has offered its customers a range of vegan snacks since 2014. There are meanwhile veggie restaurants in every medium-sized town.In Berlin alone there are currently 30 vegan catering firms compared with 12 in 2011. The number has more than doubled within three years. Similar developments can also be observed in other cities and communities all over Germany.There is also a growing interest in vegan food in bulk catering. The Sustainable Bulk Catering advisory platform of VEBU, provides regular advice for canteen cooks and caterers. More than 60 workshops and presentations have already been held in 2014. Andreas Schneider, Director Sustainable Bulk Catering: "Many examples show that the food offered changes on completion of training, when more vegetarian and vegan dishes are available for the guests. Our workshops attract a lot of interest: The demand for healthy veggie dishes is growing steadily. Sustainable Bulk Catering has more than ten training cooks and can offer training throughout Germany".

i must say it's great to be a mac user when all the viruses and such start flying around the web. but the downside to this is that we can be lulled into a false sense of security. i got a notice yesterday from my cable modem provider, time warner (roadrunner), warning of an attack on its network attributable to the code red worm that is hitting windows 2000 and nt machines. there were also some postings on macfixit about at&t@home subscribers having slowdowns due to the worm as well. while i know this worm isn't going to infect my machine, it still affects me indirectly by slowing down the web. my firewall is getting beat up and my cable modem is going crazy even when i'm not logged onto it. so i know there's a ton of activity going on. a fellow mac user gave me a call today and said his mac server was getting hit and requests were being made to find a specific file, i.e. code red worm virus. just a word of caution to us mac users to make sure we have anti-virus protection for all connections and firewall protection if you're running a high-speed connection or are on your dial-up a lot. there's a good article on macs and viruses at maccentral.

make me realize there is no perfect platform and that the more os are out there the better off we all are. – by corrupt tiki
|mac os x and virtual pc vulnerable (7:48am est fri aug 10 2001)
your readers should know that mac os x is vulnerable to attacks on unix, and virtual pc emulation is vulnerable to windows or linux viruses. macs are not immune to attack, they are just not numerous enough for most cyberterrorists to target. i use the term cyberterrorists because these problems cost people billions to fix. when proctor and gamble pays a billion dollars to cure a virus, joe sixpack pays extra for potato chips, soap and tooth paste. – by stormy smith
|yeah, mac is safe for now. (3:09pm est fri aug 10 2001)
if/when their market share improves (and i hope it does) they may have even more problems than windows.
it seems the basic logic behind a virus is to take advantage of ignorance and ease-of-use (sometimes those go hand-in-hand in the computer world).
i know a ton of lazy-ass windows users who do not even know to not double-click that snake-like icon with the .vbs suffix… imagine if macs were as numerous, lazy people would use them and they'd propagate virii all day.
it's hard to be secure and convenient/easy-to-use (for the end user) at the same time. a fine line indeed.
just my $0.02 worth,
|i'm also safe (3:12pm est fri aug 10 2001)
i'm running windows, but not outlook. also, i don't open any unknown attachments. i believe that this strategy keeps me free from 99.999% of viruses out there. you don't have to own a mac to be safe from virii. hmm… didn't they just release outlook 2001 for macs? i don't know, but does that make macs vulnerable to such viruses, or are the outlook viruses really just outlook / windows viruses? – by pc wonderer
|it's outlook windows… (5:30pm est fri aug 10 2001)
well, speaking from complete and total ignorance, my guess would be:
vbs hooks used on the mac version are different enough that windows scripts don't run correctly
or, vbs works 100% the same, it's just to do real damage, a script needs to manipulate files on the target computer (in this case, the locations and names and all that would be different).
just my $0.02 worth,
|security link for mac users (11:47pm est fri aug 10 2001)
here's a good link for mac users on the security available:

|virii (12:01pm est mon aug 13 2001)
just wait 'till the script kiddies turn their greedy eyes on you.
oddly enough, one of the things that saves mac os from being over run by viruses is because the kernel keeps changing. if i understand correctly the mach kernel is originaly the kernel built for the next operating system. – by pfy in training
|market share improved (3:17pm est mon aug 13 2001)
ha ha ha ha ha ah ha ha ha ha ha.
look, mac's market share isn't going to improve. they have shown in the past they can't compete, and they don't have the business sense to truely compete. there is no reason why the apple platform can't compete against the pc platform, but as long as steve jobs and the other apple vetrans continue running the company from a bong, apple will never increase it's market share.

code red exploits vulnerabilities in iis (the web server built into windows nt/2000), not outlook express so there is no relevance on whether or not you use outlook to check your e-mail.
while there are some serious security flaws with windows (the component object model, the new tcp stack in xp, the fact that microsoft doesn't use any version of windows when they create a secure system internally), i agree that most of the reason viruses affect pcs is because of the ubiquity of the platform.
however we must remember code red affects iis but there is no equivalent worm for apache, which has triple the market share as iis.
also, doesn't that imply for the best security, a network of computers should be multi-platform?
perhaps the war of the worlds/independance day resolution of using wiping out an entire race with a single virus doesn't seem as funny and absurd as it is—for after a hundred years of microsoft platform dominance, how will the human race be any different? -) – by terry chay

Money is great. Benefits are nice. Perks like free snacks and game tables may sweeten the deal. But what ensures that workers remain productive and content in their jobs to stay for the long haul?
These days the typical worker stays at a company for an average of just 3.68 years, and the cost to replace these employees can add up. It costs 20 percent of an annual salary to replace a mid-level employee and more than twice a year's pay to replace a C-suite executive, according to a 2013 study by the Center for American Progress. So the ability to recruit and retain top talent is more important than ever, and the way a workplace is set up may play a key role in employee productivity and overall satisfaction.
One office building is using hospitality incentives to help improve employee focus and boost productivity. In partnership with CBRE, Caruso Affiliated is restoring a nine-story, Masonic Temple to create a mixed-use complex that will incorporate creative office space with room for ground-floor retail and restaurants. The building, which will house about 140 employees, will have a hospitality team available for workers' needs—from dry cleaning to grocery shopping—helping to cut down on the time employees have to spend on personal tasks.
Offering freedom from time-consuming chores allows employees more quality time at home and enables them to focus more at work.
Of course, providing hospitality services is just one way to improve employee satisfaction. Here are four more ways to create and maintain a happy and productive workforce that can help keep employee turnover low.
1. Be flexible
An important workplace quality that can make for happier employees is flexibility, says Greg Rokos, president and co-founder of the video interviewing firm GreenJobInterview. Workers value "the freedom to work at their own schedule, their own pace, and even at their own locations," he says.
"We have the tools and technology to allow that now," he says, calling workplace flexibility perhaps the biggest employee incentive after basic compensation, such as salary and benefits.
A CBRE Research report released last year determined that the office of the future should include a mix of private, collaborative and social spaces that accommodate the varied needs of different job functions and employee preferences. Implementing a policy of "dynamic density" gives employees the flexibility to work in various parts of the office as opposed to being assigned a fixed desk. Desk-sharing can also help drive down the cost per employee and promote productivity, says CBRE Research in its report, "Space Utilisation: The Next Frontier."
Modern offices, such as the workspace at the Masonic Temple and CBRE's headquarters in downtown Los Angeles, already fit that description. These contemporary workplaces are designed to be paperless and address-free, allowing employees the flexibility to work from anywhere.
Following a workplace redesign that included more collaborative areas, better technology and health-focused features, a CBRE employee survey found that 93 percent of workers would not go back to the old way of working, 86 percent believed there was a strong improvement in employee health and wellness, and 79 percent of the workforce felt more productive compared to the previous office space.
2. Give employees the right tools
Having the right technology is also key to employee satisfaction and retention in that it gives workers the tools to do their best work, says Richard West, senior managing director of the valuation and advisory group at CBRE.
"We [at CBRE] have spent a lot of time designing workspaces with cutting-edge technology so people can get things done as efficiently as possible," he says.
While flexibility comes with investing in design and creating office environments with a greater diversity of spaces, modern offices also need to provide the right technology that enables employees to work seamlessly from anywhere.
Ensuring employees can access important files remotely is key to a productive workforce, according to Lewis C. Horne, president of the Greater Los Angeles and Orange County region at CBRE.
"We're helping our employees learn to access information through our cloud sharing and storage system, ensuring they are completely mobile and can access their documents from anywhere, at any time," Horne says. "We take pride in knowing that while we're the largest real estate services company in the world, we're also nimble enough to be able to change our culture and the spaces we work in. Making these changes is about recruiting and retaining top talent."
3. Know what to expect
Having accurate expectations is perhaps the most crucial key to maintaining a happy and stable workplace, says Rokos.
Just as it's essential to make sure the position is the right fit, it is imperative that employers and prospective employees are on the same page regarding the nature of the job.
"If expectations of what the work will be like are not accurate, it usually leads to unhappiness," notes Rokos, who worked in the executive search business for two decades before launching GreenJobInterview.
"I think that it is critical in recruitment and retention to accurately convey what the job is, what [skills] they are looking for, and what the career path is," he says.
It's also important that employers be upfront about the pros and cons of a position, Rokos says. After all, every job has its less-than-desirable aspects.
"For a professional athlete, it's not all about hitting a home run and doing the trot around the bases," he says. "There are a lot of pushups and situps and sprints that go into that."
4. Make sure employees are in the right positions
Matching people to the right roles is critical to maintaining a happy workforce, according to West. Happy employees, he notes, stay at companies longer.
"What you typically find is that if you have someone who is naturally good at doing something and that is what they do every day, you tend to have [an employee] who not only is more productive and happier, but they also tend to stay longer and they tend to excel," West says.
In that sense, successful employee retention begins with thoughtful employee recruitment, Rokos notes. This means that companies need to come to the process with a clear vision of their hiring needs, which is not always so easily done, particularly under the time pressures common to the hiring process, he says.
"You are trying to do this dance in a time frame that is short enough that you get the job filled but long enough that you get a sense of the candidate pool and ensure you are spending enough time with the right candidates to get a good hire," he says.

The Origins of Valentine's Day
Only Connect is my favourite gameshow. It is lesser known than Pointless or The Chase, but I find it endlessly interesting; finding the connection between four seemingly unconnected clues. I see myself as a bit of an expert (I'm totally self-deluded in this respect) but even I would have difficulty in connecting 'red roses' and 'goat skin'. In fact both are Valentine's Day traditions – a holiday which plagues both the single and taken, yet which we succumb to nonetheless. But aside from the practical and social issues (affording an appropriate present or binging on Netflix and pizza while lamenting your 'forever alone' status) the Valentine's Day tradition can conflict with our faith. It has, since its very origins, attempted to fill our need for a perfect, heavenly and eternal love with imperfect human effort.
The tradition was cemented by the Roman Catholic Church, probably for two reasons. The first was to overshadow and replace the pagan celebration of Lupercalia, celebrated 13-15th February. To begin the festival, priests would sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification. These sacrifices were an attempt to make God's blessings earthly and human. We don't need to sacrifice goats: God makes dry bones come alive with his spirit (Ezekiel 37); he transforms a "formless and empty" void into a beautiful planet heaving with vitality (Genesis 1); he makes fertile the barren wombs of elderly women (Genesis 18, Luke 1); he even raises his son from the dead! (John 20)
And we don't need to sacrifice dogs either; God promises that through the sacrifice of Jesus "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." (Isaiah 1:18). We are made spotless and pure because of Jesus, a perfect sacrifice who cleanses us of the poison of sin. And this is good, completely satisfying and totally fulfilling news! We don't need to be slapped with goat skin to receive purification (yes they really did this, naked in the streets…), we don't need to do anything. Jesus has done it all.
The second reason for the formalisation of Valentine's Day was to honour St. Valentine. Unfortunately, there were loads of Valentines, so I'll pick out the most poignant. One legend says that Valentine was a priest who performed secret marriages after Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, and outlawed marriage for young men. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. It seems to me that, especially amongst Christians, we tend to idolise marriage. We see it as a "happily ever after" moment that guarantees us a lifetime of consistent and vibrant romantic love. Sadly, this is not the case; recent statistics show that 42% of marriages in the UK end in divorce. Why? Because putting two sinful, imperfect people together does not equate to perfection. In order to create lasting relationships, we need to stop idolising marriage, realise it's imperfect, and look towards the perfect marriage between Christ and the church. In Ephesians 5, Paul tells "Husbands [to] love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless." Problems arise when we expect this perfection in a fallen world, with another fallen person. When we step back from idolising our loved one, and instead look, together, to Jesus for fulfilment and joy, only then will we find happiness and contentment in relationships.
Of course, the flaws in today's Valentine's Day traditions are surely much greater. Everyone knows about the rampant consumerism, attitude of romantic comparison, impossible expectations and idolised romance. But I believe that we can celebrate and enjoy Valentine's Day when we praise God not only for our earthly relationships, but our perfect, heavenly relationship with Him.

When Activision announced a new developer (Sledgehammer Games) and a new three-year development cycle for the Call of Duty franchise many saw it as an overt attempt to keep the billion-dollar franchise competitive. Not only would Call of Duty add fresh blood to the mix, but also each development team would now have enough time to ensure their games offered something new.
That being said, with a new developer on the scene fans were unsure what to expect. Would Sledgehammer Games try to follow in the lead of their predecessors or would they carve their own path using lessons learned.
As it turns out, it's a little of both. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare does have its own style but it still feels innately Call of Duty. Bombastic action sequences, cool weaponry, and a particular visual aesthetic, albeit with a shiny new graphics engine, are still on the menu for this year's iteration, but with the franchise fully immersing itself in the next-gen many wonder whether that will be enough.
In search of an answer, we headed to Activision's booth at E3 2014 to see two sequences from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. As with past years this was a completely hands-off demo that was shortened "in the interest of time."
It's important to contextualize this year's presentation with regards to previous Call of Duty demos because the Advanced Warfare footage we saw failed to hit the same highs we've come to expect from these sizzle reels. No matter how pessimistic one might feel about a new Call of Duty release, it's hard to leave one of these E3 presentations without even a little bit of hope.
The two sequences on display couldn't have been more different in tone from each other. One featured a high octane assault on the Golden Gate Bridge that concluded in the only way possible, and the other was a quieter stealth section that used some of the game's near-future tech to shake up the typical always-at-11 pacing we've come to expect.
And while what Sledgehammer had to show of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare looked extremely sharp from a visual perspective, especially the detail in soldiers' faces, the footage didn't leave us wowed. Sure, in spots it was exciting, like when our main character Mitchell takes control of a hover tank and lays waste to a jungle installation, but there was no lasting impression. The multi-use grenades are a cool idea, as is the jump boost, but not enough to make Advanced Warfare stand out. At least not yet.
Strangely, what has me personally more excited for Advanced Warfare is the footage Sledgehammer showed at Microsoft's Press Conference. That struck me as a more evocative selection of footage, right down to the ending.
It may be franchise fatigue or a poor choice of demo levels, but whatever the case the Advanced Warfare footage didn't match, let alone exceed, past years' presentations. Sledgehammer clearly knows what they are doing, and the stealth section — which is part of a larger, more action-heavy level — proves they aren't afraid to mix up the base Call of Duty formula. Some would say that the franchise hasn't been wowing them for years, but from someone who still gets excited every year I came away slightly disappointed.
Now, however, we look to the inevitable multiplayer reveal to discover what changes Sledgehammer has brought to Call of Duty's online component. Innovation in multiplayer is important for this upcoming game's success, and we are eager to see what the new developer has in store for fans.
What have you thought of the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare footage shown thus far? Do you see it as innovative or unique enough to help rejuvenate the franchise?
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare releases November 4, 2014 for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday temporarily blocked a federal judge's plan to broadcast the trial over California's ban on gay marriage by posting video on YouTube.
Lawyers defending the ban filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court arguing that broadcasting the trial would turn the case into a "media circus" and that witnesses would be intimidated.
The closely watched trial, which could produce a landmark ruling and lead to an overturn of bans in other states, begins in federal court in San Francisco on Monday before U.S. District Court Chief Judge Vaughn Walker.
Walker had agreed to limited televised coverage by taping proceedings and making them available to YouTube at the end of the day. Walker acted based on a recent rule change by the U.S. appeals court based in California allowing televised coverage of some civil cases.
The Supreme Court blocked the broadcasting of the trial through Wednesday afternoon to give it more time for further consideration of the issue.
Of the nine high court members, only Justice Stephen Breyer dissented. He said he agreed that further consideration was warranted and was pleased that order would be in effect only for a limited amount of time.
But Breyer said he did not believe those seeking to block the broadcasting of the trial had shown a likelihood of "irreparable harm."
The Supreme Court's order was at least a temporary victory for those defending the ban.
Opponents of the ban and a coalition of media organizations had told the Supreme Court that televised viewing of the trial should be allowed. They said there is a public benefit to complete access to public trials.
