Gavin Newsom thinks hackers may be the key to good government. California's lieutenant governor and San Francisco's former mayor says officials are often hampered by old equipment and policies. But he thinks the tech community can step in and create apps for better bus schedules, carpooling systems and tracking your tax dollars, among other things. Lt. Gov. Newsom joins us to talk about his new book, "Citizenville: How to Take the Town Square Digital and Reinvent Government." We'll also talk to him about his push to keep jobs in California, and his reportedly rocky relationship with Governor Jerry Brown.
Interview Highlights
On Gov. Jerry Brown and Job Creation
"I would just like to see us do a little bit more on jobs because we have 1.8 million people unemployed, we still have the third highest unemployment in America at 9.7percent. Imperial County's at 25.5 percent, you can't make that up, Colusa County's not far behind. Meanwhile, you have counties like Marin at 5.5 percent. So we have two different Californias even though we're living in the same state. And I think we need to reconcile that, reconcile our poverty issues, and get serious about job creation and job retention. I think Gov. Brown is more than capable of doing that, I just want to see him in the next to years put the kind of energy he put in the last two years into the issue of the budget, put it into to the issue of jobs and the economy. "
On Millenials
"They're more empathetic, this millennial generation, more engaged peer-to-peer, than any generation in history. But they're taking matters into their own hands, they're going to choose donors, as opposed to waiting in line up in Sacramento to get into a hearing that's dominated by the persuasion industry, lobbyists and special interests. They're rather doing direct connections on Kiva.org, or going to Indiegogo, or jumpstarting their opportunities to raise money and support causes they believe in with Kickstarter.
Malcolm Gladwell calls this the slacker generation, he's just missed the point. And the objective facts bared out he loves being the contrarian, and he got a lot of attention for that, but he's wrong. This is a whole new generational shift, you've seen it in media, it's flattened the media industry."
On Government Transparency
"Even though the American people overwhelmingly support the drone initiative, it just inures to less trust and goes to your question, why are people not engaged? Because they don?t have that trust. Even if they like the president and like the drones, they don?t like the secrecy. And that's what's got to be changed."
On the Argument for an Open Government
"Right now we have a government that acts like a vending machine. David Kettle years ago wrote about this analogy and I loved it, the idea of a vending machine is that you put in your taxes, you get police, fire, healthcare, education, defense, but you have limited choices. Someone else is making the determination of what's in the machine. That's the government we have today, it's a framework of scarcity. And if you don't like the machine or what's in the machine, you shake it — [such as] the Occupy movement, the Tea Party. What we're looking for, and what I'm arguing for with this open government is a government 2.0 framework, government as a platform that recognizes the concern of your question, that we recognize that we can't necessarily solve all of our problems."
On the Public Private Pay Gap
"The problem with talent in the private sector is self-evident, how are you going to get the best and brightest in the public sector, particularly in information technology, and the answer is we won't. We're not going to able to compete in that respect. So it's all about opening up this platform to third-party developers. It's about taking up information, putting it up online the same way that Steve Jobs looked at the iPhone.
Steve Jobs didn't put together 80,000 apps that work on the iPhone platform today, he only did about 12. He said 'We're not in the apps business, we're going to open that up to the private sector.' And that's the way I see a framework of abundance. That's the way I see a framework of government in the future. It's trying to create a framework of engagement with citizen developers and with the private sector to initiate a lot of these solutions particularly as it related to the ubiquity of the cloud, the move to mobility, and the opportunity to engage with those who have the expertise to solve problems at a local, state, and national level."
On Education Reform
"The last 150 years the education system hasn't changed. If someone came back to life today someone would see the exact same classroom they saw 150 years. I mean Sal Khan, these guys, they get it. It makes the issue of tenure and seniority, those issues are so dull, so stale. I listen to all these people screaming and yelling at each other, and creating all these organizations, and billionaires spending all this money on trivia. You want to get serious about education reform, you can't reform it, you've got to design something completely different than it is today. You've got to look at blended learning, you've got to look at flipping the classroom. You've gotta look at these tools of technology to completely shift the mindset of how we engage in a more Socratic way."

Emery 38-Carbon 15 And Justice for all
Every once in a while, an individual will do something that makes you stand up and take notice and last Friday in the Emery high school football game Dave Justice did just that. Although he has had bigger numbers in games gone by, Justice played the most complete game of his career.
Justice was the leading rusher for the Spartans for the fifth straight time this season and he did it again against the Carbon Dinos last Friday night in Castle Dale as the Spartans won their region opener 38-15.
Justice ran the ball 22 times for 141 yards and the first Emery touchdown of the evening. His longest run came the very first time he touched the ball, that run going for 21 yards. Justice also threw a pass to Kade Jones that was good for a touchdown and caught two passes, the second being good for 85 yards and a touchdown. Wingback Ryan Draper completed that pass for the touchdown. Justice also led the defensive effort by being the leading tackler.
Jones who caught that TD pass from Justice also caught three passes from QB Dempsey Jeffs. Two of those passes were also for touchdowns. Four catches, three touchdowns...not bad.
Draper, who completed that long past to Justice for a touchdown, also caught a pass from Jeffs in the fourth quarter for another touchdown. It was a great catch as he juggled it before he caught it and scored.
Emery's offensive line of center Cyal Christmas, guards Kaeden Murdock and Colton Patton and tackles Blake Mortensen and Wade Bohn have matured into their roles and are doing a great job of opening holes for the backs and protecting the quarterback. The nice thing is that they are all juniors and will have another year to play for Emery.
When Coach Jones was asked about his offensive line, he said' "Most impressive fact is that they are all juniors. We struggle a little bit at times but we are learning and they are getting better each week."
Emery started this game on fire. They scored the first three times they had the ball, all in the first quarter. First it was Justice, then Jeffs to Jones and finally Justice to Jones. But then they rested.
On the next five series, this Spartan team did not get much. We often forget that this team is still young and learning. After giving up two touchdowns to Carbon and a safety to cut the once 20 point lead to five points, the Spartans turned it around and scored touchdowns on their last three series of the ball game to grab the victory.
Emery's defense played great most of the time. On Carbon's first five series of the game, the Dinos had a grand total of 18 yards. On the last series of the first half, Carbon finally scored. After it looked like they would get nothing, a penalty was called on the Spartans that gave the Dinos new life. They scored two plays later on a 50-yard pass play by Brandon Wilson. Carbon's Wilson had another big play in the third quarter as he ran 67 yards to the two yard line and the Dinos scored on the next play. That would be Carbon's last threat of the game.
Emery's defense stopped the Dinos in their last four series on downs, two fumbles caused and recovered and an interception. Emery also blocked a punt for great field position that led to their second touchdown. Steven Giles blocked the punt, Blake Mortensen recovered one fumble and Jordan Gee intercepted the pass.
Emery's home stand will continue this Friday night with a game against Juan Diego. Game time 7 p.m.

Dead after 6 months
By J-Chi
from Chicago, IL
I bought this range in February of 2010. It looks great in my kitchen. The first time I tried to use self clean the range overheated and blew my circuit breaker and filled my condo with smoke. In researching on the internet this is a very common problem and many people state that this continues to re occur after having it repaired. I paid over $1000 for a piece of junk.

Reasonable except for the bottom drawer
By Tombo
from Seattle, WA
I just bought this range. So far, it seems to work well with good control over flame size. We saw this model on-line and, if I had to do it over again, I would definitely buy something I actually saw in person. The burner grates are a bit more industrial looking than what could be gleaned from the photo. But the real disappointment is the pan drawer at the bottom. Much flimsier than I would expect from a kitchenaid product. As an earlier commenter noted, it's too small to hold anything. And it does stick out, with a gap between the drawer face and the stove body, looking like it needs to be pushed in. It would have been much better aesthetics to simply replace the useless drawer with a stainless plate.Would recommend but urge you to look at it in person first.

Sharp Looking Stove

This is a great stove for the price. Performs efficiently with multiple baking and cooking options. Made apple strudel and the difference between my old oven and the Kitchenaid was remarkable. The oven pastry option is great.

Surprised by cheap fabrication
By Chief cook and bottle washer
from Orland Park, IL
I replaced my old Kitchenaid gas range with this model six weeks ago. The new range wasn't as fancy as the model I had, but I figured it could get the job done. Wrong. Also, the bottom drawer is really tiny. Can't really store anything in it other than a pot lid or two. I knew that it was small, but figured the HUGE oven would more than make up for it. Alas, uneven heating in the oven, whether or not using convection. The drawer is not well thought out in construction either. It sits too far below the oven door, and just doesn't look like it's installed correctly. The knobs were pretty lightweight in feel, but I decided as long as they turn on and off, who cares. Well, I guess I do - the knob on the burner I use the most doesn't operate correctly and wasn't turning off. Come to find out, it is cracked on the interior and has to be replaced. There was no "trauma" to it. Who knows why it's broken. Did I mention that this range is 6 weeks old![...] I'll have to go through Kitchenaid and see what resolution I can get. Right now, I'm feeling quite disappointed in my poor choice for a new gas range.
Service and delivery comments:
My service was exceptional, both in store and in delivery. Delivery could not have been quicker. Delivery technician had to change my gas line and that was smooth and professionally done as well. Abt knows how to treat their customers. I won't buy my appliances anywhere else, even after my disappointment with this Kitchenaid gas range.
Merchant response: Thanks for the feedback. We are sorry to hear of the problems you are experiencing with your range. If you need assistance in reaching the manufacturer or the knobs please contact our Customer Service Manager at 888-228-5800.
Great stove, but don't like the knobs
By jawhitmoyer
from San Diego, CA
This is a very functional stove, and it looks great with all of the other SS Kitchenaid appliances. The only thing I don't like is the knobs...they are too small. Most of the ranges have the larger knobs you see on professional ranges (like Viking), but these just don't look cool.The electronic controls are great, the temperature is very even for a gas oven, and the cooktop is very flexible.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Just recently bought the jetboil stove and since it only heats water for ready to serve meals I wanted an option to actually cook, so the pan. Only good for jetboil stoves and other reviewers recommended oil. Also must buy pot support. Looks sturdy enough and plate will come in hand y. May leave behind on longer hikes as I'm concerned about any additional weight.
Perfect pair for other Jetboil stoves and accessories for those backcountry trout! Fits nicely in a pack as well
Designed for the Jetboil
Great addition to the Jetboil. Also includes a pop off plat on the bottom.
Be careful
I bought this thinking I could use it with any stove, but it's specific to Jet Boil.
Works Well
The pan heats up quickly, stays secure on the jetboil pot support, and is a good size for small groups. However, the pan is definitely not non stick but it's not a deal breaker. In my opinion, it's a bit of a pain to pack in and out ingredients to cook, but it's a nice luxury, or comfort item. In the future, I will stick to my dehydrated or freeze dried prepared meals due to ease of cooking, cleaning and packability.
Jetboil Fluxring Fry Pan
Quick cooker
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a great luxury item I use on some of my backpacking trips. I can get tired of some of those meals. It cooks quick so be careful and watch your flame. I cook pancakes for breakfast. Lightweight and only have to add water. Instead of syrup, I like to use my peanut butter. Be sure you do bring a little cooking oil or you will have caked on mess.
Jetboil Fluxring Fry Pan Review
Nice job describing the benefits
Don't forget the stability kit!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This frying pan is awesome, the flux ring heats everything evenly and the plate that is included is very efficient. This does not come with two pieces that you need to use it on the jetboil though. You need the stability kit in order to use this.
Eating like a king.
This is a great pan. Super lightweight, and now I always get to make pancakes while out backpacking! It's not no-stick, so make sure to pack a little bit of oil or butter so you don't end up with a giant mess. It even comes with a plate attached to the bottom of it.
Great frying pan.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love this little pan. Frying eggs, potatoes, onions or just making soup. Very handy, easy to pack. Heats evenly. I will try baking next.
Its Great... just need a stability kit
This pan will not fit on the jetboil without the stability kit, which is another $15. Beyond that, i love the pan as it makes my jetboil a ton more versatile. Bring a mini-bottle of oil on your backpacking trip as this thing is not "no stick." Eggs were a pain in the ass.
JetHead Fry Pan
I really like this pan. It is a little heavy and I generally only use it when canoe tripping, although, when bikepacking, with a friend, you can share the load! The heat transfer is almost immediate, so be ready to cook when you light your JetBoil. There is a cover over the Fluxring bottom that can be used for a plate/serving dish/prep dish. It will also store a JetBoil spatula.
Returned It
I wanted this to go along with my Jetboil but I was not happy with how heavy it is. I can't testify to how it works but it simply was too heavy to haul around in my backpack. I ended up getting a MSR titanium instead and have been very happy with that.
How does the MSR one work with your jet boil for eggs and stuff?
The MSR one works fine but you have to be very careful with cooking anything on the Jetboil as it will burn easy. I mainly use the Jetboil for soups, pasta and boiling water.
not to shabby
I actually use this for car camping more then backpacking because it is fairly heavy. Worked good for pancakes. would have been 5 stars if it was lighter.
Not cool!!
I bought this under the assumption that it would simply fit on my jetboil. As it turns out you have to spend another $20 on a stability kit in addition to the $30 you have to spend on this pan (Why isn't there anything in the description about this?!!). But by the time you have spent $100 on the jetboil personal cooking system, and the $20 on the stability kit, you could just as easily use a $5 frying pan from Wal-mart. The only two differences are this has annoying and flimsy handles, and the Wal-mart pan will have to have the much sturdier handle screwed off. The second difference being the cost ($30 vs. $5)!! They really should just package them together for less cost and packaging filling up the landfills. Where is the environmental concern with jetboil anyway??? My stability kit didn't even come in a recyclable plastic package? I had to buy it from a different site, because Backcountry.com didn't have it in stock?? It's alot of money and headache for a frying pan!!
Yes, it does stick a little, made eggs in it but it worked ok for me, just added a little extra oil. What was amazing is how fast it heats up, real fast so have your food prepped to cook right away.
Put Street Taco Stands to the test!
Screw the whole "meal in a bag" idea. Try this: Corn tortillas, lil bit of oil, and pre-made meat. Place 2 tortillas down with some oil, flip, then add meat. This bad @$$ pan will fry them up better then Ol' Mexico and better then the taco stands downtown. Cool device. Get it. All your friends will make fun of you if you don't.
review flagged as aggressive and rude. Click here to view.
Amazing, what next will jetboil come up with. this is so much easier to cook bacon and eggs in than the group cooking pot and super easy to clean those scrambled egg encrustings off. Get the utensils also, they won't scrap up the coating and work well with this. be careful not to burn your food, this heats up really fast!
does any one make a light weight 10" fry...
does any one make a light weight 10" fry pan to take on a back pack fishing trip ?
I like the msr flex.. it's cheaper too. Check it out.
I also use the MSR Flex, it is lighter and cheaper than this product. If I remember correctly it is just shy of your 10 inch diameter.
Does anyone have any good backcountry...
Does anyone have any good backcountry recipes? I'm tired of the freeze dried stuff.
There are a bunch on the Jetboil site. Get my Jetboil today so I'll be checking these out for myself soon enough.

Members of a northwest Missouri church wanted to do their part to give back, and after much help from other congregations, a small idea, gained an outpouring of support.
"It's something that the community has really taken to, they've all felt good about what they've done, the other churches have really been interested and excited about it and I'm just thrilled to death," said Judy K. Sprake, Deklab Christian Church.
Several volunteers from ten area churches are stuffing handbags with personal items for women.
It was a dream for Judy Sprake to reach out and make a difference for those who lost everything in the Moore.
"I was really hoping to get 100, and as of a few minutes ago we have over 375, it's just beyond all expectations. We were so overwhelmed that we called some more of our members to come in and help too," said Sprake.
Vicki Sampson serves at two area churches, and both showed an outpouring of support for the cause.
"The two congregations we serve at only have about 60 members total at both congregations, and we brought in over 90 purses," said Vicki Sampson, Dekalb volunteer.
Each purse is filled with a variety of items.
"There's soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, body lotion, shavers, some bibles, decks of cards," said Sampson.
"It just seemed like something good that we could do, that was different," said Sprake.
An idea that started in one church quickly grew beyond it's congregation, and with the helping hands of many, hundreds of lives will be touched in Oklahoma.
"Small towns just have big hearts, that's what I've learned about living in a small community. We just always ban together and help eachother, that's just what it's all about," said Sampson.
All the purses were shipped Monday afternoon to a sister church in Moore. Several of the churches donated funds to pay for shipping costs.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Two adventurous Canadians from Quebec, are taking a year off to do what they like best. Ride their quads. Not on little day trips or even a weekend or two. Marc Joinville and France Labonte began their 10 month journey at the border of Canada and Montana on July 7. This trek will take them from Canada to Cabo, Mexico, and every mile of it will be ridden on their Polaris 4-wheelers. They recently spent several days in Emery County.
For two avid OHVers from Quebec, probably the worst thing was having to trailer their OHVs across Canada. OHVs are not allowed on any paved road in Canada. So, their journey to Mexico had to begin at the border of Alberta and Montana.
Four years before the journey began, the pair, who works for Cascades, a paper plant, decided to take the year long sabbatical offered by their employer. "Most people do not take this opportunity," said Marc. "They don't see how it can be done."
He explained that for the four years prior to the onset of this trip, the pair began by living on only 80 percent of their earnings. The remaining 20 percent went into savings to provide for them during the year off. Every holiday gift, they gave each other something they thought they would need for this year on the trail. They began to do research into the route and laws of the areas they would be traveling through.
Marc began to design packs for the quads. He designed and built a box for the back of France's machine that would hold the items needed to prepare their meals. This cabinet type box hold the silverware, dishes, cups, and some of the dry goods such as instant coffee, soup mixes, and other dry items. On the front of France's quad, is another box Marc designed. It is a sturdy box which holds more perishable food stuffs. The outside of the box is covered with a wire mesh to keep animals out.
Marc's machine is used for hauling the extra gas cans and the sleeping trailer for the pair. They purchased a small trailer type tent. It can be pulled by the quad and folds out to a double sized bed. Inside the tent, the two sleep away from ground animals and insects.
In the event of danger from bears or others prowling animals, they park the machine which is hauling the food several hundred yards away from where they are sleeping.
During the four years of planning and building, the two took many experimental trips around Canada to test everything and to decide what else may be needed.
Marc said the trip began in Montana and the scenery has been great. The people they have met have been friendly. The only problems they have had, have been in Utah where they were met with the information that OHVs are not street legal in Utah. Some alterations had to be made to cross Utah on dirt roads and trails. The majority of the time spent in Utah will be on the Great Western Trail through the central mountains.
France said it is very fun to open the map every day and decide where they want to go. They stopped over in Emery County for several days and rode in the Arapeen ATV Jamboree hosted by the SouthEastern Utah Off Highway Vehicle Club. Their next stop will be the Paiute Jamboree in Richfield. "It is fun to have a guide and learn the history of an area," they said.
They have ridden 2,300 miles since July 7. It is considerably further to find a route they can travel than to go by highway.
Marc estimates when they cross into Arizona, they will be halfway to their destination. They plan to reach Cabo San Lucas, Mexico sometime in November. They will spend the remainder of their time off lying on the beach and relaxing.

Kim Jong-il: Still Ill, Still Making Moves
North Korea's Dear Leader Kim Jong-il promoted both his sister, Kim Kyong-hui, and his youngest son, Kim Jon-un to four start generals in a move that experts say is a precursor to the younger Kim taking control of the country.
The elder Kim is widely believed to have suffered a stroke two years ago, and may also have pancreatic cancer, so this is most likely another step in grooming his third, and youngest son to take power. Kim's Ferragamo loafer-wearing eldest son, Kim Jong-nam lost a power struggle with his little bro several years ago. Kim Jong-un is thought to be 27 years old.
The promotions came just before today's Korean Workers' Party meeting — the first of its kind in decades. A North Korea expert at the Fletcher School at Tufts University, Lee Sung-yoon told the Times: "This is a very big deal."

The location for the burn project is located in Sevier County, along the Quitchupah Road right of way, near highway 10. Also, approximately 6 miles north of I-70 and 6 miles south of the town of Emery. Over the next few months, Nielson Construction under the direction of the Bureau of Land Management will be burning several slash piles along the Quitchupah road construction project, when weather conditions permit.
The Quitchupah Road Piles are within BLM managed lands of the Richfield Field Office. Piles of slash have been mechanically erected as a result of this project during the road pioneering phase.
The primary fuels treatment objective of this pile burn is to reduce the existing wildland fire hazard resulting from activity fuels, thus reducing potential negative effects from future wildland fire to surrounding administered lands.

They were instruments you could use to find your way, tell the time, track the movements of the sun and stars, and were – still are – complex, and incredibly impressive.
As the researcher working on a project with the British Museum and the Warburg Institute to study these fascinating objects, my recent trip to Israel was not the first time I've been there in search of medieval astronomy and astrology. However it was the first time I have returned with a database of about 140 Hebrew manuscripts dealing with astrolabes: a treasure trove of texts describing and explaining how to build or use these instruments in their almost two thousand years of history. In other words, texts written mostly in Hebrew and a few in Judaeo-Arabic (Arabic with Hebrew script) between the twelfth and the eighteenth centuries by Jews from around the world (astrolabes remained in use until the nineteenth century in Islamic countries).
These manuscripts are not all physically in Israel – most of them are in libraries and private collections around the world, as are the few surviving Jewish instruments. However, the Jewish National Library in Jerusalem hosts the Institute of Microfilmed Hebrew Manuscripts, in which we can look for and read microfilms of practically all the Hebrew manuscripts in the public and private collections of the world.
An amazing resource, and very convenient. I can sit in the manuscripts reading room, in the basement of the National Library in Jerusalem, and let my eyes go from a Sephardic script of the thirteenth century to an Askenazi of the fifteenth or a Byzantine of the sixteenth century, all of them explaining how an astrolabe works.
These texts were written and copied by Jews spread over three continents, in countries and cities so close or so distant as Vienna, Istanbul, Egypt, Yemen, Lisbon, Baghdad, Mantua, Benevento, Syracuse, Senegal, and more. Most of them were also copied many times throughout the centuries, some in years as decisive for the history of the world or the history of the Jews as the year 1453 (the fall of Constantinople into Turkish hands) or the year 1492 (edict of expulsion of Jews from Spain), when many codices and manuscripts were destroyed or lost for many reasons.
These handwritten texts are like a time machine encapsulating in their parchment, paper, ink, writing, binding, and list of owners, information about the authors and the readers, the Jewish communities where they were produced and the patrons who paid for them. So the transcription, translation, and study of these texts is going to provide us with decisive information about the degree of scientific knowledge and familiarity with certain scientific instruments of many Jewish communities from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, and even later.

Degrassi Wardrobe Tip: Declan's hoodiePosted on 05/20/2010 by Lisa
After Mary posted about Declan's wardrobe awhile back, great1zero wrote in with a question about Declan's striped hoodie:
"I have been trying to identify the designer of it for awhile now but haven' t had any luck and was hoping you could help out. Declan wears a lot of cool clothes and I never seem to see any name brands on any of them."
I checked in with Steve Wright, the wardrobe supervisor on Degrassi. He says, "The hoodies in question are from Montreal, Canada. Point Zero is the brand." Steve also mentioned that Declan wears a lot of Armani Exchange and that "you can find great stuff at the outlet store for cheap."
So there you go! YAY, now we can all dress like Declan.
Degrassi season finale... this Friday!Posted on 05/19/2010 by Mary
Can it really be the end already? Finale sounds so... final. No fair.
And yet, we've had such a lovely season. And we've got the movie coming this summer. And... I have a feeling you're not exactly going to be bummed out on Degrassi after you watch the finale this Friday. (9pm et! Don't be late, son!)
Guys' prom shoes are kinda gross.Posted on 05/19/2010 by Mary
You know those weird tux rental shoes that are like pointy and have almost no sole? Also the generalized idea of shoe rental is seems more appropriate for the bowling alley than a formal dance, no?
Anyway, there are options! These patent leather Chuck hi-tops aren't hard to find (here's a link... they're all over the Internet and probably the stores, too). I also saw a pair of black patent Vans slip-ons (covet, covet), but it was someone selling them used.
Actually... a girl could rock something like that with her dress, if that's her style and she's feeling saucy. And she wants to actually dance instead of teeter around getting blisters.
It's your prom; wear what you want, right?
The vote has now been rocked.Posted on 05/18/2010 by Mary
I just saw that episode of One on One where Breanna and her friends vote for the first time, which was apropos 'cause I totally voted today (for the umpteenth time). There were primaries for a lot of states' governors, and senate seats, and all sorts of other foofaraw.
Those smaller elections can seem a lot more "who cares" than the big circus-like presidential ones, but I actually love the little elections -- because a lot of times, you're voting on things that affect stuff going on literally next door to you. (Like, do you want the pro-casino woman on the city council, or the guy who wants to make the city shelter a no-kill shelter, or the person who wants a public skate park?)
Or, if your state leans heavily toward one party or the other (democrat or republican), sometimes the primary is where the eventual winner pretty much get chosen. (The primary is when we choose who ends up on the ballot for the ELECTION election.)
Or, for instance, here are some of the effects of little elections in the news today:
It was little elections that populated the current school board of Texas, which is now making some big moves to change the way their history textbooks are written. And then a small-election person in California is proposing not to allow the Texas version of history in their schools . And it's all very crazy and fascinating and it all really comes down to boring rainy days like this one, where people you've never heard of end up in obscure political positions with surprising amounts of power.
Anyway. Yay voting! Anyone out there get to vote today?
Degrassi Breakdown: "In Your Eyes"Posted on 05/14/2010 by Mary
EEEEEEEEE!! Lots to talk about from tonight's episode... though of course, if you haven't watched yet, this whole thing will be SPOILERSSSSSSS so go away! As for the rest of us...
1) Oh my GOD! When Riley was like, giggling because Anya said "you have a crush on Zane"... I swear It MELTED MY HEART! And then when he and Zane made plans for coffee... was I the only one jumping up and down in my chair going "Riley has a date! Riley has a date!"?
2) I was so scared he wasn't going to kiss him! And then when he did and he smiled... I don't think we've ever even SEEN Riley's smile before that. I didn't even realize how much I loved him as a character until I felt so overjoyed for him.
3) Curious... what would happen if (or did happen when) one of the biggest jocks at your school came out?
4) Clare! Dude! Clare is strong like the Hulk! I almost can't believe she didn't fall for K.C.'s "everything was better when we were together" line. Could you be that strong?
5) Jenna Middleton: not winning any fans tonight, I'm guessing. I used to try to give her the benefit of the doubt and think she was at least Real and fun, though flawed... but tonight she came off straight up shady, right? I know Jenn a has some fans out there... are any of you having second thoughts about her at this point?
Degrassi's Sam Earle might break K.C.'s nose.Posted on 05/13/2010 by Mary
We asked Sam some of our questions, and some of your questions. As usual, he was very tight-lipped and monosyllabic.
When you doodle, what do you draw?
Strictly hearts and rainbows. p>
What do you think makes a good Degrassi episode?
Dealing with relevant teen issues is a big staple of the show and the impact they can have on a lot of our audience is always remarkable and rewarding. But personally, if a story line is natural and understated, regardless of the subject matter, it will draw me in and have me involved in the worlds of the characters. Because the show revolves so much around relationships (whether they be romantic, friendly, or otherwise), the fate of an episode really entirely depends on how well these relationships are handled, by the writers as well as by the actors, who can truly make or break them. Like I said, when a relationship is well taken care of, only then can I really relate to the characters, which is not always easy being someone who is so tight with the actors who play them.
When it comes to these ambitious and topical episodes, I prefer the magnetic over the charismatic, something that draws the viewer in on their own terms, provoking reactions and opinions, transforming them into an active and thoughtful member of the discussion that the episode begins.
Halloween asks: "Do you go to a real school? If so is it like Degrassi?"
Yes I do! Don't know why people assume I'm some kind of underage drifter - I get plenty of breaks from filming. As for my (public, normal(ish), not full of actors) school, there's a small student body, and we don't have a ravine for our dirty business, so it might be a bit tame in comparison.
senmusic asks: " Who is your best friend on set?"
Panther, the really fat cat. The cast is alright (so much love it hurts).
Speaking of set cats, the other one, Noggin, is in the hospital. She's suffering from an identity crisis, too many name changes.
Oh and I think there was something about "eruption of the anal gland", might be a contributing factor, I dunno. But wish him well everyone!
And also from senmusic: "Did you originally audition for the character that you play?"
Yup. Good old KC, smooth-talker with a nasty past. I even remember some of the scene (never actually included), to Clare, who at first is all "no kissing 'til college", but then looks like she "wants to stick her tongue down my throat" when we both go to pick up a dropped pencil and share a tense moment locking eyes. It was a fun scene, something a little sketchy about running it over and over with my Mom though...
icegirl111 asks: "How do you feel about KC and Clare breaking up?"
At the time I think I might've been too young and foolish to grasp the long term consequences of what was going down, the only thing running through my head was "Oh cool! A nice meaty Clare scene!" I remember reading it for the first time in a read through. I always get almost embarrassingly invested in the scripts while I read them, and so I glanced up at the end and I remember seeing Ace throw me this look that was all "Dayumm son!", and [me] kinda just smiling back blankly, shrugging it off a little, assuming that however things went, KC and Clare wouldn't just vanish from each other's lives so abruptly. The truth is, I came on to this show as a part of Clare's storyline, and as an actor, I assumed nothing beyond my role as a love interest of hers. So even as KC has gone off and done his own thing, and continues to do so, that element of attachment to Clare as a character has always stuck with me. KC can do whatever stupid crap he wants, but if he doesn't seriously acknowledge the debt he owes to Miss Edwards somewhere down the line, I'mma break his nose (never been punched in the face, never punched someone in the face, so two birds with one stone!).
Complete Prom Looks for $150. True Story.Posted on 05/13/2010 by Mary
Someone asked you last minute? Or you just found out some other girl is wearing your dress? You know, you can replace your entire prom look for under $150, like right now. 'Cause, real talk: the key to having an awesome prom is not how much you spend. (The real key is a complicated formula involving friends, dates, after-prom plans, and who's in charge of hiring the DJ.) Not to mention, prom tickets are expensive enough these days.
With that in mind, we found -- and it wasn't even that hard! -- four different head to toe prom looks for less than $150. Except one that went $5 over, but... don't call the cops on us, OK?

Jordin Sparks' Nail Art. Discuss.Posted on 05/08/2010 by Mary
So... couldn't help but notice Jordin's epic nails -- operating some sort of touchscreen, no less -- in the "S.O.S. (Let the Music Play)" video. (It was on Obsess This this morning; you can see it in our Video Hub now or on Obsess This Sunday at noon et). Let's discuss:
1) Like or dislike? Just as a concept ?
2) Would/Could you wear them yourself?
Degrassi Breakdown: "Innocent When You Dream"Posted on 05/07/2010 by Mary
SPOILERS! BELOW! DO NOT READ unless you've already watched the episode OK? If your eyeballs slip, I'm sorry.
Everyone else... we have much to discuss.
1) I feel like Declan handled Clare um, kissing his neck (out of nowhere) pretty amazingly suavely. Most people have a hard time even handling people they're not into having a crush on them. Could you be that cool if someone you didn't really see in that way was acting so ga-ga over you? < /p>
1b) Also, I think I might be starting to totally love Holly J. So, so big sisterly of her.
2) I find it interesting that Clare's feelings of guilt about her perfectly normal feelings toward Declan turned her right back into "judgy Clare." It's like she's judging herself, and then she turned it out wards onto Alli... what did you guys think of that whole interaction?
3) Have you ever had um "dreams" about someone you know that you were like "Whoa, what? Really? That person?" I know I have. I've heard that it's not really about the person in real life, it's just what they stand for in your mind. But that doesn't make it less freaky to wake up from one of those!
4) So, now Sav is going to make cat videos for a hobby? Whatever it takes... but dude needs a new crush. Who should be next for Sav?
5) So... real talk... do you think Anya really is a manipulative and dishonest person, and that Sav is right to be so pissed off at her?
6) Ahhh, Seven Minutes in Heaven. I had my first kiss during a game of Seven Minutes. What's your kissing game history?
K.C. and Declan - Are they Aislinn Paul (Clare)'s type, too?Posted on 05/06/2010 by Mary
One time, I cornered Aislinn Paul (Clare from Degrassi) and made her talk about boys. She was very accommodating to my nosiness, because she is SUPER nice. And pretty much exactly as smart and realistic as you'd think she is.
Do you have a type? I always get to the point where I think I know my type, but then I like someone completely different and I don't know why. I think they just have to be someone who's willing to have conversations about the world... and just, think about stuff, as opposed to being rash and acting before thinking.
Have you ever had a crush on someone who had like, never cracked open a book? Yup! So, I think I know what my type is, but then I just trick myself and like someone completely different.
Do you and your friends have any rules about whether you can date ex-boyfriends, current crushes, anything like that? Well, the problem at my school -- I go to an arts school. So there's about one boy for every... twenty girls? So we don't even really worry about it. We just say, "Everyone, go for whoever."How 'bout you guys... do you have a type?

DUBAI, U.A.E., 3rd June 2013: Emirates on Monday celebrated the start of its daily, non-stop service from Dubai to Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) with the launch of its inaugural flight.
"We value our partnership with Tokyo International Airport; it is one that helps to connect two global hubs of development and growth - Japan and the UAE. We know that Haneda will play an integral role in our route network and the launch of services demonstrates Emirates' commitment to Japan," said Thierry Antinori, Emirates' Executive Vice President, Passenger Sales Worldwide.
"Since the commencement of Emirates' flights to Osaka in 2002, trade relations between Japan and UAE have flourished. According to JETRO (Japan External Trade Organisation), two-way trade between UAE and Japan rose to $53.1 billion in 2012, up by 5.4 per cent compared to previous year," continued Mr Antinori.
"Haneda is our third gateway in Japan and we are confident that the demand in terms of both passengers and cargo is strong enough to warrant Emirates operating non-stop, daily flights to both of Tokyo's airports, offering our passengers more flexibility on the route to Dubai and onwards to over 70 destinations in the Indian Ocean, Middle East, Africa and Europe," concluded Mr Antinori.
On board Emirates' first flight to Haneda was Salem Obaidalla, Emirates' Senior Vice President, Commercial Operation Far East & Australasia; His Excellency Daisuke Matsunaga, Consul General of Japan; Ravishankar Mirle, Emirates' Vice President Cargo Commercial; media representatives from the United Arab Emirates and connecting passengers from 17 destinations on Emirates' global network.
In the cockpit of the Boeing 777-200LR was Captain Ahmad Alshamsi from the UAE and First Officers Tsuyoshi Mikami from Japan and Hermes Guzman from the USA.
With the new daily flight to Haneda, Emirates SkyCargo is able to add about 23 tonnes per flight, which accounts for about 160 tonnes of additional cargo capacity per week, further supporting Japanese exports of mechanical components, electronic goods and automobile parts, and its imports of gas and oil products. Dubai is an important hub for the re-export of Japanese manufactured products to the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia.
Together with the new Haneda flight service, Emirates has launched a complimentary airport transfer services for its passengers from Haneda Airport directly to a location of their choice in the Greater Tokyo area. This service is available to First Class and Business Class passengers travelling on Emirates flight EK312 (Dubai to Haneda) or EK313 (Haneda to Dubai).
Emirates' flight EK312 departs Dubai at 0935hrs, touching down at Haneda 0001hrs the following day. The return flight, EK313, departs Haneda at 0130hrs and arrives at Dubai at 0705hrs the same day.
The Boeing 777-200LR aircraft operating the route is equipped with eight luxurious private suites in First Class, 42 of its latest lie-flat seats in Business, and generous space for 216 passengers in Economy, along with gourmet cuisine in all cabins which has been tailored to Japanese passengers, served by Emirates' multinational cabin crew.
The aircraft also features ice, Emirates' award-winning inflight entertainment system which offers over 1,500 channels showing the latest Japanese blockbusters, subtitled Hollywood films and Japanese music and TV.
Emirates now operates services to 134 destinations in 77 countries from Dubai, earlier this year Emirates launched services to Warsaw and Algiers. In addition to Haneda, Emirates has announced plans to launch services to Stockholm starting 4 September, Clark International Airport (Philippines) beginning on 1 October; the same day as it begins its transatlantic route between Milan and New York.
Emirates' longstanding partnership with Japan Airlines has been expanded to include a code share on the new Dubai-Haneda-Dubai services. The flights will be identified with the Emirates 'EK' code as well as with Japan Airlines 'JL' code
Emirates Holidays, the airline's tour operating arm, offers holidays to Japan, with itineraries that highlight attractions in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. Emirates Holidays provides holiday options that take travellers from Tokyo – the modern capital city; to the majestic Mount Fuji and the natural beauty of Hakone; to Nagoya and Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan; and to Osaka, gateway to the Kansai region.
