A look at the magic cinematic scenes that would be enough to earn any of them the award.
Actors are Oscar-nominated for their entire performances. But sometimes all it takes is that one galvanizing scene to secure victory. Think Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara, when she returns to Tara after the Civil War and declares, "As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again," in Gone With the Wind. Each of the five nominees up for a supporting-actress Academy Award on Feb. 24 has their magic moment on-screen. USA TODAY's Susan Wloszczyna provides a close-up of their trophy-worthy scenes.
INTERACTIVE: Who do you think deserves the Oscar?
AWARDS CENTRAL: Enjoy USA TODAY's full awards season coverage
AMY ADAMS as Peggy Dodd in The Master
The role: With her swollen belly and primly ladylike maternity wardrobe, the wife of Lancaster Dodd — the leader of a Scientology-style cult — appears to be a dutiful '50s-era wife, all serene smiles and sweet encouragements. She even indulges her husband's adoption of a protégé, Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix), a drifter who will soon disrupt their life with his disturbing antisocial habits.
The moment: Adams forces the audience to totally rethink her character midway through the film. After Philip Seymour Hoffman's Lancaster begins drinking heavily (thanks to Freddie's lethal homemade cocktails) and grows overly defensive with skeptics of his philosophy, Peggy shows him who is boss by pulling a Lady Macbeth move. As an underwear-clad Lancaster hunches over the bathroom sink to wash his face, she comes up from behind, reaches around him and begins to sexually gratify him. All the while, she gently yet forcefully chides him against philandering: "Stop with this idea — put it back in its pants." She then carefully washes her hands and wipes them afterward.
ANNE HATHAWAY as Fantine in Les Misérables
The role: As a single mother and factory worker who is unfairly fired, Fantine has only one option to keep providing for her daughter: sell her body — even her hair and teeth — as a prostitute trolling the grimy dockside streets of 19th-century France. Ex-convict turned factory owner Jean Valjean, racked with guilt for not preventing her dismissal, rescues the fatally ill Fantine and vows to care for her child. Fantine's purpose is soon elevated to that of a kind of guardian angel who helps to keep Valjean on the path to redemption.
The moment: You've seen the trailer. You've seen the online parody. And if you've seen the film, you have experienced the very definition of an Oscar moment. If any segment defines this version of the long-running stage show, it is Hathaway's up-close, one-take, emotional tilt-a-whirl rendition of I Dreamed a Dream. Much has been made of the live singing done by the Les Mis cast on camera. But the true benefit is that it frees the actors to set the pace of the music and add their own dramatic reading to the lyrics — forcing the orchestra, added in later, to follow their lead. When, after 4½ minutes of heart-wrenching sadness and resignation, Fantine stretches out the final line of the song — "Now life ... has killed ... the dream ... I dreamed" — it is as if her very soul has been drained from her.
HELEN HUNT as Cheryl Cohen-Greene in The Sessions
The role: Cheryl is based on a real-life married soccer mom and professional sex surrogate in Berkeley, Calif., circa 1988, who deals with her patients on very intimate terms. She takes on an unusual and challenging client, a 38-year-old disabled writer named Mark, who spends all but a few hours a day in an iron lung. His goal: to finally lose his virginity. Their encounters end up being intensely moving for Cheryl as well, as she struggles to maintain her professional distance.
The moment: The first time that Hunt nonchalantly strips off her clothes before engaging with John Hawkes' Mark, it is a true revelation — both for his character and the audience. Not only is the middle-aged actress in remarkable shape, but her composure, sensitivity and casual humor elevates what could easily have been a hard-to-watch encounter into a beautiful moment that neither exploits nor glamorizes the act of sex. When Mark climaxes almost instantly after she merely touches him, she says enthusiastically, "Nice job!"
SALLY FIELD as Mary Todd Lincoln in Lincoln
The role: The first lady endured more than her share of personal tragedies, including the loss of two of her four sons to disease. She stood by her husband's policies concerning the Union and Confederacy, despite being raised in the South. As portrayed in the film, she is plump, feisty and outspoken but also given to dark moods, intense headaches and premonitions. And we know the worst trial is yet to come.
The moment: Her head aching, a grief-stricken Mary studies a photo of Willie, her 11-year-old son who died during her husband's first term. But later, she is composed and confident as hostess of a grand reception. Field especially rises to the occasion when she takes on Tommy Lee Jones' political firebrand Thaddeus Stevens — who often gives her grief about her household expenses. "Mrs. Lincoln," he calls her. "Madame President, if you please," she counters. Mary ends their brief exchange with the equal of a verbal slap to the face as she notes the line waiting to greet the president: "People love my husband. They flock to see him, by the thousands on public days! They will never love you the way they love him."
JACKI WEAVER as Dolores Solatano in Silver Linings Playbook
The role: Dolores is a rock of an Italian mother and wife who sticks by the Philadelphia Eagles-obsessed men in her life no matter how many breakdowns and blowups they might have. Or, as bipolar son Pat's psychiatric-hospital friend perfectly defines her when they meet: "God made you rich in character, and you're the mighty oak that holds the household together."
The moment: Sometimes it isn't one moment but a string of small occurrences. Such as when Dolores turns into a one-woman cheerleading squad as she engages in her game-day rituals, announcing: "I'm making crabby snacks and homemades!" Weaver's performance might be nearly 90% reaction shots — her big blue eyes act like barometers for the comedy's constant mood swings. And that's not surprising, since outbursts are a constant now that troubled son Pat (Bradley Cooper) is back home and her obsessive-compulsive husband (Robert De Niro) has turned to bookmaking. But she also gives hints that one should never underestimate Dolores, who isn't above stooping to covert manipulation to keep her clan happy.

Is this the day the Facebook smartphone shifts from rumor to reality? Let's take a look at the stocks to watch on Thursday.
Facebook shares up early. The social network's stock price is up 1% in pre-market trading as it gets ready to reveal news from an Android-themed event at its Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters.
The latest rumor on today's event stems from Bloomberg, reporting Facebook will introduce a modified version of the Android operating system with a strong emphasis on the social network's tools. It's an approach similar to what Amazon employs with its line of Kindle Fire tablets.
The big question is whether Facebook itself will create the hardware or partner with a smartphone manufacturer. All signs appear to point to HTC, who has worked with the company in the past on the HTC Status device that featured a built-in Facebook button for sharing.

The Wire – recently finished that one. Too real scenery in and around Baltimore. Societal decay story. Timeless.
Six Feet Under – psycho drama/comedy. Something like psychopath hooks up with malignant narcissist who has a bi-polar brother. More comedy than actual human destruction.
Watching Breaking Bad now. Heisenberg!!!!! First 2 seasons were great comedy. More drama to season 3. Comedy ensues towards the end of season 4, thank goodness.
I'm only watching finished series. Sopranos, Weeds, Carnivale, Dexter, Nip/Tuck. ComebackReplyCancel
House of Cards

Dr Who (the reboot)
Dr Who (the originals)
Already mentioned above by @flirtychick74, but, any Investigation Discovery show. Disappeared, the one about the evil couples… I have spent many an afternoon letting one episode roll into the next on Netflix. The intro with that whispery "Investigate…" gives me the shudders just to think about!
Thanks, y'all for the other suggestions.ReplyCancel
Sons of Anarchy
Breaking Bad
Ray Donovan
I am in the midst of an Arrested Development binge right now. I highly recommend it. Others I have binged on with great success: Dr Who, Game of Thrones, The Mentalist, House of Lies, Scandal, Green Wing, Firefly, Graceland. To name a few.
Take it from a binge pro: watch something that has ended. Otherwise you'll eventually catch up with the TV, and having to wait an entire week for the next episode is true torture when you've just watched three seasons in a row.ReplyCancel
Top of the Lake, Vikings, Breaking Bad of course, if you're the only one who didn't see it.ReplyCancel
Shameless is the new Six Feet Under.
30 Rock.
Nip/Tuck because Kelly Carlson!!
Or go 90's and get the Sports Night or Spin City DVD's. Just skip the awful, unwatchable Charlie Sheen seasons. They DO NOT EXIST in my universe!!ReplyCancel
+1 @ Andrew. I enjoyed that show too. I didn't think I would but it was well done.ReplyCancel

My cousin said Rome is good.
Game of Thrones

Night Court- watch the subtle nuances of growth Dan Fielding does as the series progresses and also watch as Markie Post goes from cute to "Oh my God I want to hit that so bad" (Maybe that was because I started puberty during the later seasons)ReplyCancel
Lol…loved night court…ReplyCancel
Chrisley Knows Best
Fucking hilarious!
I'll once again recommend Spin City if for no other reason than to see what Jennifer Garner, Stephen Colbert, Alyssa Milano, Connie Britton and Justin Theroux looked like 16 years ago.ReplyCancel
Puberty Blues….this was a famous Aussie movie set in 1970's Sydney remade into a fantastic, high quality TV show. The first season stays true to the book and the second is a continuation of what might have been. It's a great snap shot of life then with a teen storyline alongside adult ines. It's styled brilliantly, the costumes and sets are spot in for that 1979-1981 feel. Much binge drinking and bong smoking too, lolReplyCancel
Breaking Bad is made for binge watching. The Sopranos and The Wire, of course. Game of Thrones. The Americans is a great show, but only in the second season, so if you did binge, it would be over quickly.
Guilty pleasure: Dallas (the original series).
One to avoid: Mad Men. I can handle one episode at a time, max.ReplyCancel
Orange is the new black. Watched it all last nightReplyCancel
Freaks and Geeks, Breaking Bad, Prison Break, 24, It's Alway Sunny in Philadelphia, The LeagueReplyCancel
Rescue Me – Denis Leary series about NYC firefighters post-9/11. How can you not love a series that has a black, gay, horse whispering little person and Jesus driving a yellow Lamborghini with a bumper sticker that says "Now you know what I drive".
Agree w/The Vikings suggestion – second season finale aired last night – this series has turned into one of my favs – they really killed it.
Here's something to drool over – Travis Fimmel (Ragnar Lothbrook) when he was a Calvin Klein model:
I've been binging on Dexter, but am stuck in season 7 waiting for my viewing buddy to catch up. I'm also binging hard on Deadliest Catch. A little hotness and testosterone on the Bering Sea, yum!
Next will be Breaking Bad and the Sopranos. I'd forgotten about Six Feet Under, so now I'll have an excuse to spend more time with Michael C Hall
Does anyone else have Amazon Prime? I found out that there are some almost-forgotten gems stashed out there. "Hey, Paula" anyone? They aren't free, but a season costs about $15.ReplyCancel
Love banshee
Hemlock Grove cheesy but cute
Need to get to pll. Once upon a time.
Damages. Leverage. Himym.
I have Arli $$. On did collection I still have to watch it. My favorite show from the 90s.ReplyCancel
Lots of BBC. Torchwood. State of Play (much better developed characters than the movie), Above Suspicion (Ciaran Hinds and Kelly Reilly), Whitechapel (wonderful Rupert Penry Jones), Ashes to Ashes. I also binge on Tales of the ER (where else would you hear about a bullet embolus?!).ReplyCancel
THE BLACK LIST!!!ReplyCancel
Ripper Street, with Matthew Macfayden and Jerome Flynn. If you haven't, lucky dog, you can watch season one and season two. Wish I could start it all over again. Excellent. So well written. Some of it hard to watch for me, but watch I do. Just finished Season Two. Luther, on Netflix. Vikings on the History Channel, season one and two. Watch Jekyll on Netflix. A little scary, but SOOOOOO good. I am next going to catch up with Turn on AMC. That should keep you going for a while. I think I may be an inadvertent Irish Anglophile. Such good writing and acting. But anyway, start with Ripper Street. Please let us know what you decided to watch and how you liked it. Just interested.ReplyCancel
Green Wing is some DANG FUNNY STUFF. When I grow up I ASPIRE to be Sue White…also noteworthy, and all British…Life on Mars, Shameless (the UK version), Wire in the Blood, Black Books, Spaced, Hyperdrive…ReplyCancel
Haven't read all the comments (since I'm late to the party). This is what I binge watch:
2. The Killing (if you can handle weather/lighting worthy of Sylvia Plath)
3. Just started on Justified. Liked the 1st episode.
Also try Hell on Wheels. It's a good show. I drool for Common.ReplyCancel

Julien Boucher's world championship blog
Day #11 and #12 –September 24-25 – Trieste
It is 6 p.m., September 24 in Trieste. The team is completing its training session without me and Larry McKay who have been assigned laundry duties this afternoon. We did a great job.
The trip from Bled to Trieste went well. We actually arrived earlier than expected. At our arrival, everything was ready: hotel rooms and lunch. Since then it hasn't been as smooth. It is true the worlds are a big event being held in six cities. For example the organizing committee wasn't aware of our request made last month for tickets to other matches for our team members. We hope to solve this dilemma prior to our first match.
On the court, training is going well and our guys are focused. Last night's training on the match court was held at a high level. Lots of work on ball control, six-on-six. The intensity was high.
For Glenn and me, two meetings in 12 hours: the first at 9 p.m. was for preliminary enquiries. This meeting is to verify the players' passports, registration forms and team uniforms. This afternoon, we had a technical meeting with the organizing committee, officials, as well as, the coaches and team managers.
With all formalities aside, the serious stuff starts tomorrow. Our first match is at 5 p.m., against Poland. In fact our three first round matches are at 5 p.m.

Prospect Petry: room to grow
Jonathan Willis
August 26 2008 06:15PM
A good profile from Inside College Hockey today got me thinking about Oilers prospect Jeff Petry.
According to Guy Flaming of Hockey's Future, Petry is the number one prospect in the Oilers' system. He's an all-round defenceman with good size and a cool head, and despite a lack of elite offensive skills he projects as a top-pairing defenceman. He was USA Hockey's Junior Player of the Year in 2007 and last season was part of the CCHA All-Rookie Team and won the Top Rookie and Outstanding Defenseman awards for Michigan State.
The profile from Inside College Hockey had one notable quote from Michigan State head coach Rick Comley:
"I thought that on some nights he was our best player and other nights, he played more like a freshman. All-in-all he's certainly an offensive defenceman and I think where we'll really see improvement this year is on the power play."
Here's what Michigan State's defence corps looked like last season:
Mike Ratchuk – 42GP, 6G-19A-25PTS, 48 PIM, +4, 10.9SH% Jeff Petry - 42GP, 3G-21A-24PTS, 28 PIM, +2, 3.7SH% Daniel Vukovic – 42GP, 3G-19A-22PTS, 24 PIM, +5, 5.3SH% Brandon Gentile – 39GP, 0G-9A-9PTS, 24 PIM, +8 Jeff Dunne – 37GP, 3G-4A-7PTS, 29PIM, +6, 10.7SH% Ryan Turek – 35GP, 0G-5A-5PTS, 29PIM, +4 Justin Johnson – 24GP, 0G-2A-2PTS, 6PIM, 0
Looking at those numbers, Jeff Petry was at the bottom of the group in two areas: plus/minus and shooting percentage. Petry actually fired more shots at the net than any of the other defencemen (82), and I'm not worried about that shooting percentage number—if anything, it indicates that the only direction his goal scoring can go is up. Based on the coach's comments, I'd guess that Petry was playing relatively difficult minutes (probably behind Dunne and Vukovich based on age/performance) but not the hardest ones out there. The fact that he was at the tail end of the top-six in plus/minus suggests that his defensive game could still use some work.
All of those players listed saw some time on the powerplay. Here are the scoring stats with the man advantage for the best three:
Ratchuk – 3G – 12A – 15PTS Petry – 1G – 11A – 12 PTS Vukovic – 3G – 9A – 12PTS
Going by the coaches comments again, I would imagine that Petry was initially the number three option on the powerplay, behind Ratchuk and Vukovic. Ratchuk is leaving Michigan State this season, so it seems like a safe bet that Petry's going to be the first option on the number one unit.
Another interesting thing is that Jeff Petry wasn't used on the penalty kill (although recently signed free agent Bryan Lerg, with a reputation as an offensive forward, was) in his rookie season—something that I would imagine is going to change next year.
What's my point with all of this? Simply that Jeff Petry is a very young defenceman ('06 Entry Draft) and that he isn't a complete player even at the college level at this point in time. He has intriguing upside, and it seems reasonable to expect leaps-and-bounds improvement this coming season, but he still has lots of room to grow.

If you look at what Mac T and Huddy did with Gilbert and Underpaid Grebeshkov in just one year, Petry could be a dynamite player for the mighty Oil...
Petry by no means is an NHL-ready prospect, nor someone who will be an AHL star. But I think he'll make some serious strides this year, most guys do in their 21-year old season in college.
Like you said, with the departure of some of the veterans, it further solidifies his position as the top-pairing defender on that team. I'd look to see him get some serious ice time on both the PP and ES, and hopefully on the PK.
The way this kid skates, it makes me drool. It's so effortless for him. I think whatever offensive potential he's showing in college will easily translate into NHL success.
Obviously, the best case for the org would be if this guy was so good that he just made a place for himself but the current reality doesn't seem bad as well: he's certainly good enough to evoke hope but he's still not so far along the development trail as to force entry into the Wild-Bisallion-Chorney offensive defensemen clusterfuck.
We should see a big rise in his numbers this year and in the amount of praise attached to his name as well.
One last thing, he's a year older than guys who usually finished their frosh season, correct? I guess his parents did the old hoops/football thing where they held him back a year in school?
One last thing, he's a year older than guys who usually finished their frosh season, correct? I guess his parents did the old hoops/football thing where they held him back a year in school?
Yeah, and that's something I hadn't thought of. Petry spent the extra year in the USHL before he jumped up to the college level, so age-wise he's a little ahead on other freshmen.

|American who intervened in shooting that killed Indian says was happy to risk life -
Ian Grillot, 24, was struck in the hand and chest at the bar in Olathe, Kansas, when suspect Adam Purinton opened fire on Wednesday evening. At least one bystander told the Kansas City Star he shouted "get out of my country" before shooting the Indian victims. Purinton, a 51-year-old white Navy veteran, will make an initial appearance in Johnson County District Court on Monday.
|Trump's pick for Navy secretary withdraws -
U.S. President Donald Trump's pick for secretary of the Navy withdrew from consideration on Sunday, the second time a Trump nominee to lead one of the armed services bowed out because of government conflict-of-interest rules. Trump last month nominated Philip Bilden, a private equity executive and former military intelligence officer, to lead the Navy, which the president has pledged he will expand. The development leaves Trump and Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis without nominees to head both the Navy and Army.

A Mount Carmel Cemetery visitor called police on Sunday morning to say the gravestones of three of his relatives had been toppled, police said in a statement. Officers found about 100 others knocked down.
|Tests show driver in Mardi Gras crash was legally drunk, police say -
(Reuters) - A driver accused of injuring 28 people in New Orleans after plowing a pickup truck into a crowd watching a Mardi Gras parade had a blood alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit soon after the crash, police said on Sunday. The suspect, identified as Neilson Rizzuto, 25, has been charged with two felony counts in the Saturday evening incident that brought chaos to one of the main events of the city's signature pre-Lent celebration. Rizzuto's blood alcohol level was measured at 0.232, well above the 0.08 limit, about two hours after he was taken into custody on Saturday, New Orleans police spokesman Michael Tidwell said in an email.
|Bergdahl lawyers ask U.S. Army court to dismiss case due to Trump comments -
Lawyers for U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl said on Sunday they will ask an Army appeals court to dismiss charges against him in the belief that President Donald Trump's repeatedly calling him a "traitor" during the election campaign make it impossible for him to get a fair trial. Bergdahl's defense team plans to make the request on Monday at the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals in Virginia, Attorney Eugene Fidell said in a telephone interview. In a lower court, military Judge Jeffrey Nance of U.S. Army Trial Judiciary Second Judicial Court in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, rejected their argument.

JACKSON — When talk first started about Mississippi creating a health insurance exchange to allow people to shop and get the best price for insurance, many Mississippi Democrats privately expressed opposition.
Under President Barack Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, states have the option to establish an exchange. But if states do not, the federal government will set it up and run it.
Many Mississippi Democrats said they would prefer the federal government run the exchange instead of the state. They expressed fear that the state's Republican leadership would establish exchanges that did not provide the best health options for those shopping there.
But now that Mississippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney is establishing an exchange as is the state's option under the Affordable Care Act, many of the state's Republicans leaders, including Gov. Phil Bryant, are voicing opposition.
The Democrats, though, appear to be in support.
It is funny how this issue flip flops. Former Republican Gov. Haley Barbour was a strong supporter of health insurance exchanges and no Republican leader expressed opposition. Barbour felt the exchange was a good idea that should be run by state leaders instead of the federal government. Through the years that has been a consistent Republican position.
But now that some Democrats are for the exchanges, some Republicans are opposed.
It gets confusing.

Perfect ankle booties
"These boots are great quality. The leather on these boots are incredibly soft and supple. The heel height is also perfect, they give you some height but are not too high. The shape of these booties are so nice, they look great with skinny jeans rolled up to the ankle. The only issue that concerns me is the elastic part of the boots. I hope they don't stretch out too much overtime."

super cute for complementing maxi dresses!
"Got these online since I knew booties would be out of season in the store...I don't normally spend this much on shoes but I wanted to spoil myself for my bday/ invest in a good quality pair of booties.I am between 9.5 and 10 and wide...I usually go for 10 in boots to prevent my toes from getting squished (also important with a high heel like this)...knowing this was a European brand getting a 10 was a must. These fit perfectly (not much room but toes aren't squished), the 9.5 would have been way too tight. They are a little more distressed than you can tell from the photo, which is nice for this style of boot. I plan on wearing these w/ maxi dresses both for the height and the style, but these will also look great w/ black clothing/ dresses, jeans and office wear. Very excited to wear these, would recommend these as well as the brand."

Mistakes on the football field did in the Emery Spartan football team last week as what probably would have been a good defensive ball game turned instead into region loss. Emery traveled to Richfield to play the undefeated and ranked Wildcats in region 12 action and Emery came home with a 22-7 loss. Although a Wildcat interception and four lost Spartan fumbles were the chief cause in the loss, questionable calls by the referees also had their place early in the game.
On Richfield's first scoring drive, the Wildcats were aided by four different penalties on Emery. Two of those penalties came on fourth down plays in which Emery stopped their opponent. Both penalties allowed the drive to continue and the Wildcats eventually scored.
Richfield scored four times in the game, once on a safety and three times on touchdowns. Richfield also scored those four times in the game when they started their possession on the Emery side of the field rather than their own. The two other scoring drives for Richfield came when they recovered Emery fumbles at the Emery 16 yard line and the Emery 17 yard line.
Emery's scoring drive came in the fourth quarter. Starting on their own 41-yard line after a Richfield punt that had been returned well by Quinn Montgomery. An 11 yard run by Colton Fasselin started off the series. Jade Fielder then ran the ball 16 yards to the 32-yard line. Cody Jones then hooked up with Nick Stoddard for a 15-yard pass play. Emery was assisted by a penalty and then Fasselin picked up four more yards to move Emery to the four-yard line. Emery scored on a quarterback sneak by Jones. Montgomery kicked the extra point.
Emery gained 101 yards rushing in the game led by Fielder's 46 yards on 12 carries. Cox managed 27 yards on seven carries and Fasselin gained 28 yards on three carries. Emery completed six passes in the game for 54 yards. Stoddard caught three of those passes for 29 yards, Kashe Potter caught two passes for 20 yards and Cox had the other reception for 5 yards. Richfield gained 172 yards throughout the game.
On defense, Emery had one interception by Potter and linebacker Clay Collard caused a fumble but Richfield recovered. Nathan Mecham led Emery on the defensive side of the ball. Mecham was in on 22 tackles throughout the game. Defensive end Jacob Tuttle was in on 19 tackles. Collard also finished the game in double figures with 11 tackles.
Emery now will host Manti this Friday night at Spartan field at 7 p.m. It appears that all six region teams are fairly equal and that winning every game is important but winning home region games is a must.

DENVER – Many Colorado students would get a revamped sex-education program under a bill that House Democrats advanced Thursday.
Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, said with 15 Colorado teenagers giving birth every day, the state's sex-education curriculum needs to be better.
"What we are talking about is making sure young people have healthy lifestyles. This is a health issue," Duran said.
Her House Bill 1081 would create a program in the health department to give out grants – funded by the federal government or private donations – to school districts that offer "comprehensive" sex education.
Duran said the bill would not forbid schools from teaching abstinence-based classes.
"Abstinence is incredibly important. If you do not want unintended pregnancy, if you do not want to see the transmission of disease, then abstain from engaging in sexual activity," Duran said.
But, she said, young people who have sex should know how to protect themselves from disease and unwanted pregnancy.
The bill would allow parents to opt their children out of sex-education classes, but Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument, said parents should have to opt in.
"These are our kids we're talking about," Stephens said. "I'm concerned that the religious sensitivities of families should be honored."
Opponents also questioned the need for the bill.
Peggy Littleton, a former member of the state Board of Education, said the state adopted standards for health and sex education in 2009 after a long and transparent public process.
"We already have these. We spent a long time doing it," Littleton said.
Opponents suspected that a hidden motive was to introduce talk of gay and lesbian sex into the classroom.
Indeed, the bill calls for "culturally sensitive" education that takes into account "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities." All of those words are absent from the 202 pages of health-education standards the state adopted in 2009.
Adrian Nava, a student from Aurora, said he is gay and felt ostracized in his sex-education classes.
"I didn't completely understand how my way of loving was different from another person's way of loving," he said.
He supports Duran's bill and said when people are open to difficult conversations, they stop being taboo.
The House Health, Insurance and Environment Committee advanced the bill on a 6-5 vote, and it now goes to the full House.
It wasn't the first time this week that the Legislature tackled a touchy social topic in the schools. On Monday, House Democrats defeated a Republican bill that would have encouraged teachers and students to question global warming and evolution.

Great Year Round All Purpose Boots
"These boots are AMAZING! I bought my sons first pair of bogs a few years back only because they were the only snow boots in town and couldn't believe what I was spending on a pair of kids snow boots. I was SOOO happy with them! They are well made and kept his feet warm and dry and these are year round boots. We use them for rain boots in the spring (which also helps with the cost-no more buying a separate pair of rain boots) fall and snow boots in the winter. Now I buy them for my daughter, my son, and myself. Plus I buy them a size big and we can get away using them for two years. This is all I will buy my kids now. They are worth every penny."

I believe that Gedo Mazo is the body of the Juubi and the reason the tailed beasts are being stored in it is to return the Juubi's power to its body.
Here's why:
We have been told that the Juubi's body was sealed in the moon. http://read.mangashare.com/Naruto/ch...7/page015.html however we have no evidence to suggest that it is still there til this day.
When Nagato (Rikudo sage's reincarnation) summoned the Gedo Mazo (possibly from the moon) he was able to control it as only the Rikudo Sage's should be able to, however it was still so utterly powerful that his body was greatly injured by this feat.
Sometime after Madara came along and joined forces with Nagato and they began the plan to bring the Juubi back to life. Since the power of the Juubi's body was so great, they couldn't risk losing control of it and so had to place greater binding on it http://read.mangashare.com/Naruto/ch...4/page016.html
Around this time I believe Kishi also forshadowed the connection between Gedo and the Juubi by using this picture http://http://read.mangashare.com/Naruto/chapter-254/page018.html particularly the prominance of the Gedo Mazo holding up his 10 fingers. Notice also "as if gods who subjugate the lord of hell" Well the Juubi seems like a great candidate to be the lord of hell.
Here is our only picture of the Juubi http://read.mangashare.com/Naruto/ch...7/page014.html and here is a picture of Gedo http://read.mangashare.com/Naruto/ch...7/page008.html notice that Gedo looks like an incomplete or damaged Juubi
There is a reason that Gedo Mazo has a blindfold over his eyes and that is because the Juubi's eye is under it
Thanks for listening folks
edit: oh and here (hhttp://read.mangashare.com/Naruto/chapter-255/page007.html is one more possible foreshadowing. Notice that there are 9 demons going to collect the one tail from Gaara (9+1= juubi )

World > Countries > Mozambique
Mozambique stretches for 1,535 mi (2,470 km) along Africa's southeast coast. It is nearly twice the size of California. Tanzania is to the north; Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe to the west; and South Africa and Swaziland to the south. The country is generally a low-lying plateau broken up by 25 sizable rivers that flow into the Indian Ocean. The largest is the Zambezi, which provides access to central Africa.
Multiparty republic.
Bantu speakers migrated to Mozambique in the first millennium, and Arab and Swahili traders settled the region thereafter. It was explored by Vasco da Gama in 1498 and first colonized by Portugal in 1505. By 1510, the Portuguese had control of all of the former Arab sultanates on the east African coast. Portuguese colonial rule was repressive.

Tiny Chip Inserted in the Sole of a Shoe Can Charge the Wearer's Cell Phone Say what? Charge your cell phone as you walk? It's the future, indeed. - Christine
Paradoxical gears have a complex shape with multiple lobes that exert pressure on the lobes of meshing gears, allowing for some interesting behavior. These gears are often called "paradoxical gears" due to the fact that in some configurations, all of the gears rotate in the same direction (it's easier to see in the videos than to explain in words). The original design is credited to a Renault engineer named Mercier (the gears were needed for the torque-limiting Mercier differential). Perhaps the most impressive thing is that such complex shapes were designed before the advent of modern CAD/CAM, most likely through the solving of some very complex equations. [Bonus link - print your own paradoxical gears!] - Alex
Progressive Cavity Pump An interesting wikipedia article about a type of pump most people may not have heard of. The design uses two fairly complex shapes, one which rotates eccentrically inside of the other one. This particular design is useful for applications which require either a consistent flow rate, or liquids/slurries that require low levels of shear stress. - Alex

Melvin "Mel" T. Rippetoe
Our loving dad, Melvin Rippetoe, passed away quietly in his home after a heroic battle with leukemia. He was 77.
Melvin was an avid builder, welder and mechanic. He loved cars, motorcycles, tractors, hunting, fishing and anything scientific. As a young man, Melvin was trained by Chevrolet as an auto mechanic. Later in life he built his own business, "Basin Power Spoolers", from the ground up. In 1996, he retired to Summit Lake, where he lived out the rest of his life surrounded in the beauty of the forest and mountains.
Mel was born in Dolores, Colo., on May 8, 1936 to Lawrence Rippetoe and Letha Mae (Freeman) Rippetoe. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Larry Rippetoe; and his spouse, Inga Rippetoe. He is survived by his daughters, Susan Lucas and husband, Wayne of Dolores, Cindy House and husband, David of Farmington, N.M., and Debra Embree and husband, Roger Kenzel of New Mexico. He is also survived by seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
A celebration of life gathering to honor Mel's life will be held at Ertel Memorial Chapel on Saturday, Jan. 25 from 1 to 3 p.m.
Memorial contributions can be made to Hospice of Montezuma, P.O. Box 740, Cortez. Mel's gathering is hosted under the direction of Ertel Funeral Home.

Skip to comments.Obama says he doesn't believe North Korea has nuclear missile
Posted on 04/17/2013 2:03:29 PM PDT by Responsibility2nd
President Barack Obama has said he doesn't believe North Korea can fit a nuclear warhead on a missile, casting strong doubt on an alarming assessment disclosed last week by the Pentagon's intelligence arm.
And he warned the young North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that weeks of threats against the United States and South Korea had only served to isolate the regime further.
Asked in an NBC News interview whether North Korea could put a nuclear weapon on a ballistic missile, Obama said, "Based on our current intelligence assessments, we do not think that they have that capacity."
'I'm not a psychiatrist'
Asked if he thought Kim Jong Un was unstable, Obama said, "I'm not a psychiatrist, and, I don't know the leader of North Korea."
But he said that "the actions they've taken, the rhetoric they've engaged in has been provocative."
He warned that the situation may not calm down in the short term.

Now THERE's a line if ever I heard one.
Bet he knows a few of them ~
~ And he needs a hell of a lot more.
"I'm not a psychiatrist".
No, you're a patient.
""I'm not a psychiatrist, and, I don't know the leader of North Korea."
As far as he knows, Don Knotts is their leader....
Aparently, he's prepared to bet our lives on that.
Freaking amateur.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
fine obama, don't believe the N. Koreans have nukes. One day you may get a call from someone in Seoul asking about all the glass where the city use to be.
Well Mr 0 when the phone rings @ 3am and its Moonbeam on the line saying he has a Mushroom Cloud in San Francisco you will know for sure!
My neighbor didn't think I had a pit bull, untill he was in my shed stealin stuffs late one night and was bit on the ass!
As if there's any possibility that this nitwit could earn a medical degree. Please.
but Dennis Rodman is getting the parts there as fast as possible
I'm not a fig plucker
Or a fig plucker's son
But I'll pluck figs
'Till the fig plucker comes.
Do you think he'll admit he's wrong if an American city or base, or a Japanese or South Korean city becomes a smoking radioactive hole?
They only target the Blue Cities.
An those that live in the blue cities oppose any , all, and every effort to secure their cities!
F em.
But he plays one on TV............
Don Knotts is dead, may he rest in peace. BTW, did you know he was a WWII veteran and a EOD man at that?.......
What did you expect him to say about NK missiles? Perhaps an "I don't know for certain" would have been better but we do have missile defense ships in the area so that is the real answer to what he thinks, even if it is just a better safe than sorry.
As far as comments on Kim are concerned, again, what did you expect him to say?
BHO is inept, incompetent, anti-American, lazy and malevolent but ridiculing EVERYTHING he says doesn't make the people who do that look very rational either.
Nobody thought they had an an a-bomb either until they set one off.
I know he is dead.....loved him!
he don't believe in the Constitution either....just shows what a moron he is...that's comforting
Everyone's focused on the words "warhead" and "missile", but there are other means of delivery.

Hey, we could do this all day! ;-)
His OWN PEOPLE said so!
Official statements from the White House and the Pentagon reported that North Korea probably has nuclear weapons that can be mounted on ballistic missiles.
The Antichrist can look you in the eye, smile, and lie!
"I'm not a psychiatrist, and, I don't know the leader of North Korea."
1. No, you're not a psychiatrist, but you need to see one.
2. YOU (unfortunately) are the President of US and you should know all about Lil Kim. Ignorant lazy moron.
3. Who told you they don't have nukes, Dennis Rodman?
Dennis: Hey man, Kim ain't gots no nukes.
Obama: You sure man? Okay, talk at you later bro.
It is a better chance Obama is not a Christian.
It's above his pay grade.
"Obama says he doesn't believe North Korea has nuclear missile"
And there is no Eassster Bunny or Tooth Faery, either.
Robbin' Hoodie and Santa Claws are probably myths as well.
I feel so much better now that the professional "community organizer" has weighted in with his expert analysis. /s
Fixed that for you. Too much due diligence.
"I'm not a psychiatrist"
You're not an American either holmes!
LOL I thought about that after I posted.
north korea has missiles....
north korea has nukes...
both are undeniable facts...
north korea does not have a nuclear missile???
what the hell kind of drugs do you have to be on to come to that conclusion...
fill me in, cuz I want some of them there mild halucenagenics..
fill me in, cuz I want some of them there mild halucenagenics..
You're definitely asking the person who can provide you with the answers you seek.

Internet of Things
March 2017 - Date and time TBD / Sponsored by Epicor
The age of IoT is upon us, with the expectation that tens of billions of devices will be connected to the internet by 2020. This explosion of devices will make our lives simpler, yet create an array of new challenges and opportunities in the semiconductor industry. At the sensor level, very small, inexpensive, low power devices will be gathering data and communicating with one another and the "cloud." On the other hand, this will mean huge amounts of small, often unstructured data (such as video) will rippling through the network and the infrastructure. The need to convert that data into "information" will require a massive investment in data centers and leading edge semiconductor technology.

March 2017 - Date and time TBD
Back-end packaging is increasingly important to semiconductor device form factor, thermal and power performance, and costs. Compounded by the demand for lead-free processing and the soaring cost of gold, the industry is developing new approaches to packaging, including redistribution layers (RDL), through silicon vias (TSV), copper pillars, wafer-level packaging (WLP) and copper wire bonding. Experts will discuss these and other approaches in this webcast.

Wafer Handler Predictive Monitor and Equipment Verification, Excursion Detection, Defect Reduction & Tool Matching
Consistent equipment performance, avoiding unscheduled downtime, reducing defects and preventing excursions is key to reducing cost and improving die and line yield in semiconductor manufacturing. The fully automated InnerSense SmartWafer (SMW2) system addresses these key metrics. The SMW2 system is effectively being used as a predictive monitor for handler PM's, a leading indicator for mechanical defects and can detect, predict and prevent most mechanical related excursions, including wafer damage that can lead to subsequent wafer breakage. The SMW2 system can further improve tool availability by improving post PM recovery and tool matching.January 24, 2017

Dear Mr. Dad. My 9-month old daughter is happy and healthy in every respect (her pediatrician concurs). But all our friends are talking about the things they do to help their children grow, develop, learn, and so on. Is any of that really necessary? Will our daughter be okay if we just let her develop on her own?
A: I have no idea how it started, but somewhere along the line, a lot of parents got the idea that happy, healthy babies weren't enough and that normal intellectual and physical development were happening too slowly. Babies, it seems, had to be constantly entertained and educated. Low-tech toys were replaced by electronic ones that light up, make funny noises, count, say the names of letters, colors and shapes, or conjugate irregular Latin verbs. And instead of learning to crawl, walk, and run on their own, babies needed personal trainers. What ever happened to letting kids be kids?
The short answer to your question is that, assuming your daughter's pediatrician is right and your baby is, indeed, healthy, she'll achieve her developmental milestones, gasp, without outside intervention.
That said, physically playing with your baby is wonderful for her—and for you. At the very least, you'll feel more confident and competent as a parent, and your daughter will learn that she can count on you to always be there for her. A strong relationship with mom and dad is, hands down, the best gift you can give your child.
So here are a few ideas for fun ways of interacting with your baby. They'll also stimulate her brain and body—but that's not the primary goal.
For major muscle groups:
- Put some toys near her feet and encourage her to kick them.
- Roll a ball far enough out of her reach so she has to crawl to get it.
- Supervised stair climbing is great. But stay nearby and be extremely careful. This is a good time to start teaching your baby to come down stairs backward. But be prepared to demonstrate yourself and to physically turn your baby around a few dozen times a day.
- Chasing games: you chase her; she chases you. Reward her with a big hug and—if she doesn't protest—a little wrestling. Besides being fun, these kinds of games teach your baby a valuable lesson: when you go away, you always come back. Plus, kids who wrestle with dad grow up with more highly developed social skills than kids who don't get as much physical play.
Hand-eye coordination:
- Puzzles. The best for this age wooden, have a separate hole for each piece, and a peg for easy lifting.
- Nesting, stacking, measuring, and pouring toys. Also things to crush, tear, or crinkle—the noisier the better.
- Weave some string between baby's fingers or tape two of her fingers together. Can she "free" herself?
- Hand-clapping games.
Consequences. The idea that different actions produce different effects can't be reinforced often enough.
- Jack-in-the-boxes—especially the kind with four or five doors, each opened by a push, twist, poke, or some other action. Be cautious the first few times, though; some babies may be frightened.
- Pots, pans, xylophones, or anything else the baby can bang on. She'll learn that different things make different noises when smacked and that hitting something hard sounds different from hitting something soft.
- Doors (and anything else with a hinge, including books)—provided you're there to make sure no one gets pinched.
But remember: Your only agenda is to have fun.
