Reeves, Senators Tout Charters on Arkansas Visit
HELENA, Ark. – On the walls of the foyer that leads to the high school and middle school of the KIPP Delta Public Schools are banners from all of the universities its students are now attending.
There are four KIPP graduates at Vanderbilt University, one at the Naval Academy and numerous KIPP graduates at the local community college.
While 89 percent of its students come from poverty, 93 percent of the graduates of the K-12 school that opened in 2002 with a fifth-grade class are now in college or the military. That's compared with the national rate of 8 percent of children in the lowest economic quartile who attend college.
"Our mission is to get kids through college who don't normally have that opportunity," said Luke VanDeWalle, chief academic officer for KIPP Delta.
Mississippi Senate Education Chair Gray Tollison, R-Oxford, said those college banners are an example of the excellence the charter school brings to this impoverished Arkansas Delta river town across the Mississippi River about 30 miles north of Clarksdale.
"We have to have this," said Tollison, who along with Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, Sen. Nancy Collins, R-Tupelo, interim state Superintendent of Education Lynn House and three other state senators toured the 900-student school. "There are students in Mississippi not being given the opportunity because they are trapped in failing schools. They should be given a choice."
Reeves said the tour reinforces what he already described as "a passion" to pass charter school legislation during the 2013 session. Charter school legislation this year passed the Senate where Reeves presides but died in the House.
Charter schools receive taxpayer funds, but operate outside of the governance and many of the regulations of traditional public schools, though they are subject to the same accountability standards.
Opponents say charter schools take funds and often the best students from traditional public schools. What the operators of KIPP Delta said Tuesday is that the school takes all comers, whatever their academic status, through a lottery because it cannot accommodate everyone. It holds high expectations of students, parents and staff.
"If it can happen in Helena, Ark., it can happen across the river," Reeves said. "I personally support charter schools anywhere in Mississippi."
That could be an issue next session. Many say they support allowing charter schools to locate in districts that are designated as D or F under Mississippi Board of Education guidelines. The KIPP Delta School is located in a district that has struggled academically.
Reeves said there are 45,000 students "trapped" in failing schools within "successful" districts. And he said that there are students in outstanding districts that might do better in charter schools.
Collins agreed. "What I can see is a public charter school being allowed anywhere parents see the need for it," she said. "If they want it and see the need for it, it should be allowed."
Marshall Dalencourt of the Helena area said one of her three children told her that KIPP stood for Kids in Private Prison when she told them they were going to the charter school. But she said she believes the school gives her children more opportunities and gave her more of a say in her children's education.
KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program) is a national program started by people involved with Teach for America, which sends outstanding recent college graduates into low-income areas to teach. Many of the teachers in the Helena KIPP school are young and from out of state. Many are or were part of Teach for America. But the school is now recruiting more local teachers.
Nathan Whitfield, a Harvard-educated Helena native who graduated from the state's Math and Science School, is a math teacher in the high school. He addressed his students as Mr. and Ms. as he explained an equation that took up his whole chalkboard.
House, who will serve as interim state superintendent at least through the upcoming legislative session, which begins in January, said the Mississippi Board of Education is not opposed to charter schools.
Before the session starts, House said the board will adopt a charter school position paper she said will reiterate the board's belief that it should be the authorizing authority for charter schools instead of a new entity. Plus, House said she believes the board will voice support for allowing charter schools in low-performing areas like Helena instead of statewide like Reeves and senators on Tuesday's tour support.
Where to allow charter schools and who will be the authorizing authority will likely be the two most debated issues surrounding charter schools during the upcoming session.

Qix IT needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 29 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Two-Way Micropay, 2-Way-Micropay, TwoWay MicroPay, or any variation that fits your design instincts
Qix Information Technology is creating a new bridge between consumers, advertisers, and content providers.
Through our service at Qixit.com, we help consumers to "capture the value of their own market identity." In other words, with our system, you only see ads when advertisers pay for your time and attention. Plus, you can use those "free" ad dollars to buy the online content you really want.
2-Way Micropay is a major component of the Qix suite of payment and messaging tools. This new site explains how payments and delivery of content (whether an ad page, or a paid for content page) can be implemented on any website, including blogs.
We want to use this site to build the 2-Way Micropay brand, to simply explain what it does, and to feed users into Qixit.com (which is currently the only way they can create an account that supports 2-Way Micropay links). Because of this relationship, it may not be a bad idea to have some compatible graphic relationship between the two.
This contest includes development of the home page and an integrated logo. Ideally, the logo should be easily reduced to a very small unobtrusive image that can be added to a corner of banner ad--like you see on TV stations which show a translucent logo down in the lower left corner or with the "recycled materials" logo--so people know if an ad includes a payout.
Initially, most traffic to this site will probably come from PR surrounding our WordPress Plugin that allows people to monetize their web sites using 2-Way Micropay.
This PR will also tout our system as a possible solution to the economic death of newspapers, by offering online newspapers a way to introduce a universal, "free" micropayment sytem on their websites which is funded by advertising dollars.
This PR may also touch on the theme "Who Own's Your Marketing Data?" which will explain that instead of corporate america getting paid to sell marketing data about your to each other, Qixit and 2-Way Micropay allows you to get paid anytime advertisers want to find you and show you their wares.
So, while Qixit.com is mostly geared toward benefits for consumers, 2-Way-Micropay is geared more toward bloggers, advertisers, and other content providers to pitch to them why they should want to start implementing 2-Way-Micropay on their websites.
2 Way Micropay
Turns any hyperlink into a payment link. From $0.01 to $5.00.
1st way. Get Money.
* get paid for your attention
* get paid for your answers
* get paid for your content
2nd way. Send Money.
* pay for someone's attention
* pay for someone's answers
* pay for someone's content
(May want to convey that the Get Money link is a "payout link" and the Send Money link is a "purchase link", perhaps with a background image of "payout link" and "purchase link" behind each "box" for 1st way and 2nd way.)
1. Advertisers create payout links. You activate the payout links and get paid to watch their ads.
2. Content Providers create purchase links for their music, videos, games, or special reports. You activate the purchase link to buy the content you want, using the "free" money you received from advertisers.
3. Advertisers and Content Providers must pay you for your attention each time they want to contact you with follow up offers.
Payment links can automatically split money between seller and affiliates!

As reported by USA today your Iphone can be turned into your digital wallet
Tuesday Sept 11 2012 (by pio dal cin)
As reported by USA today your Iphone can be turned into your digital wallet
blix grocery chain and Dunkin' Donuts navigate the digital waters.
Right now, he's extremely excited about a new feature that will soon be available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It's called Passbook, an app that will put all your digital coupons, tickets and loyalty cards in one place, and potentially, be a way one day to use the iPhone as a digital wallet.
"Every opportunity I have to get in front of a client, it's the first thing I talk about," says Reeves, vice president of the 22squared agency. "This is huge. Apple doesn't do anything halfway. This is a tremendous opportunity to revolutionize the way we use our wallets."
Today, Apple is expected to introduce the highly anticipated new iPhone, which will include Passbook and several other new features, such as Apple's take on mapping and seamless integration with Facebook and Yelp. The iPhone, as well as the iPod Touch and iPad, will have the new iOS 6 software that will drive the devices. For owners of many older Apple devices, such as the iPhone 4 and 4S, the new iOS 6 software will be available as a free upgrade to effectively modernize your existing device.
Apple hasn't announced a launch date for iOS 6, but it's expected by the end of the month.
Cards, coupons, cash in one spot
There has been much talk in the past few years about turning phones into digital wallets — letting people use their phones to surf the Internet, make calls and pay for lattes and muffins.
Visa, MasterCard, Starbucks, Google, Square, PayPal, Intuit and others have been working feverishly to make mobile payments a way of life, but the practice has yet to go mainstream, because businesses are waiting for it to become more widespread.
Tech analysts don't expect the new iPhone to include tools such as a near field communications chip (NFC), which can communicate with scanners and let consumers easily swipe and pay at cash registers. "The technology isn't there yet," says Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee. "Plus, the NFC chip is a battery hog."
But Wu does expect Passbook to pave the way for mobile payments eventually, once Apple gets a critical mass of consumers using it. At that point, Apple will be able to persuade retailers to modernize their payment equipment to work with the iPhone.
Apple could come at it with strength of numbers, Wu says. It has sold nearly 250 million iPhones to date, and Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster expects nearly 200 million more iPhones to be sold by the end of 2013.
"Of the iPhone owners we surveyed, over half said they wanted to buy the new one," Munster says. "There's a huge pent-up demand for the new iPhone."
Analysts expect the new iPhone to come with a bigger screen, spiffier design, a faster processor and improved camera. There's also the new iOS 6 software and Passbook.
"With Passbook, you can scan your iPhone or iPod Touch to check in for a flight, get into a movie and redeem a coupon," Apple says on its website. "You can also see when your coupons expire, where your concert seats are and the balance left on that all-important coffee bar card."
Developers hard at work
Apple gave demonstrations of Passbook and other new iOS features at a developers' conference this summer, a way to get the people who create the apps to learn about what was possible, and get them to start adding the features to existing apps.
Cyriac Roeding has been working feverishly since then to adapt his Shopkick shopping rewards app for Passbook. He has good company in movie ticket service Fandango,United Airlines, Target and Starbucks, all of which are touted on Apple's website as Passbook participants.
Shopkick, which has 3.7 million members, already works with retailers Macy's, Best Buyand Target to offer rewards to shoppers in-store — but they have to have the Shopkick app open while shopping to find out about the rewards.
The difference with Passbook: The offers not only show up without the app being open, but they're sent your way before you even enter the store. The iPhone's GPS detects your location. That might raise privacy hackles for some shoppers or be welcome benefit — "You can save $10 in bedding today!"
"This is a big leap forward in making apps more contextual and relevant," Roeding says. "They pop up when they should."
Daniel Delshad is putting the finishing touches on his new app, Loyaldash, which will launch in a few weeks. "It will work with Passbook to tie together our memberships in all those loyalty programs," he says. "Say you're flying on United, and checking in with Passbook," Delshad says. "Maybe you want to upgrade, but don't know how many points you have or need. You can use Loyaldash within Passbook to find out."
Passbook is one of 200 new features being touted in iOS 6. Other highlights:
•Maps. Google Maps (which Google will replace with a free-standing app) will no longer have a prominent position on the main iPhone screen, replaced by Apple's new map program, which promises spoken turn-by-turn directions and spiffy graphics. "It takes navigation to the next level," Wu says. "And it looks cooler."
•Facebook plus iPhone. Facebook will be more closely intertwined with iOS 6 on Apple devices. When users want to make calls, their Facebook friends will be listed in the contact area. Photos will be easier to share on the social network, with fewer clicks. "Apple is partnering with the most powerful social network," Wu says. "Google couldn't do that. Android users only have the option of Google Plus," which has a much smaller user base.
But it's Passbook and its potential that has analysts and developers most excited.
"Your mobile device will become your wallet. Whether it's in a few months, a year from now or longer, it's going to happen," Delshad says.
Worldwide mobile payment transactions will grow to $617 billion in 2016, from $171 billion in 2012, researcher Gartner says.
According to Wu, the long-range game plan for Apple is to have the smartphone do everything — start the car, lock it, open the house and garage, turn on the air conditioner and heater — and, of course, become the vehicle to pay for goods with a swift swipe of the phone.
"(Passbook) is just the beginning," he says.

A 21 year old North Carolina man rear ended a mobile alcohol testing lab last weekend while driving drunk in Newton, NC. Douglas Shane Southard was travelling approximately 45 MPH in his 1989 Chevrolet Camaro when he hit the mobile lab at 2:45am last Sunday.
Newton police had been operating the "Breath Alcohol Testing" lab in conjunction with a roadside checkpoint earlier in the evening, but were done for the night when the accident occurred. None of the eight people inside the mobile lab were injured. Southard was listed in stable condition from the injuries sustained in the accident as of last Monday.

Let's Go Fishing comes to Rhinelander
Submitted: 07/24/2013
- Many people would say the best way to view the Northwoods is from the water. But not everyone can easily get out on the water."There's a lot of people that grew up with that tradition that are not in the position to get out by themselves anymore, and Let's Go Fishing is an organization that will get them out a no charge," say Kari Zambon, a volunteer.Let's Go Fishing started its first Wisconsin chapter Wednesday in at Hodag Park. It caters to kids, elderly, and handicapped people who otherwise wouldn't be able to get out on a boat. "We get letters, weekly. Thank you so much! We never thought we'd be able to be on the water again," said Joe Holm, Let's Go Fishing Executive Director.For some, it's a completely new experience."I've never been out on a boat before. I've just experienced today and I love it so much. I saw loons so far and it's so beautiful out here," said Terri Kahren, who was a passenger on the maiden voyage.The beauty and serenity of the water was what inspired the start of Let's Go Fishing more than 12 years ago.Founder Joe Holm and his family were going through a difficult time. His wife struggled with health problems, Joe fell through the ice on his four-wheeler, and his 16-year-old daughter had struggles of her own."Had a tumor in her right arm that the doctors were 99.9 percent sure was going to be cancerous and it grew from within the bone, it actually snapped the bone," says Holm.It wasn't cancerous, but the experience made Joe realized a lot of people probably need an escape. So he started Let's Go Fishing to help others relax and sail away from day-to-day life."We've had a lot of people say, 'My body just does not hurt when I am out on the water'," says Holm.

After being on this planet for many a moon, I have finally figured out what's wrong with our society. It has taken me a long time, and it really isn't one single factor, but basically it does boil down to one key point:
We, as a society, are selfish.
That's it. That's the answer. Each and every one of us, are basically selfish. Being selfish morphs into many forms and examples. One of the forms that being selfish takes is lack of consideration. Here's some examples of lack of consideration:
1. How many times have you held open a door for someone? Or said "Thank You". Or said "God Bless You" when they sneeze. Then get stone cold silence from the person you were considerate towards?
2. Stand by the PATH train exit and watch how many people blatantly disregard the walk signal and walk directly into traffic. I'm not talking about your basic jaywalking (which I do, too), when the signal is red and there are no cars. I'm talking about pedestrians who walk directly into traffic and expect cars to stop for them. Then glare at the cars for nearly hitting THEM!
3. Umbrellas. Walk down the street on a rainy day. How many assholes have the golf umbrellas which can fit about 4 people under it. They walk on the sidewalk, without a care in the world, and hit people with the edges of their umbrella - and glare at the people they hit like it is THEIR fault.
4. Double parked cars, cars parked on sidewalks, cars parked in yellow zones or on corners. Even Google Maps shows cars double parked outside of Piccolo's.
You ask anyone why they do it - and it's always "someone else's fault".
If someone runs a red light, it wasn't their fault, it was because everyone else is driving too slow.
If someone double parks, it wasn't their fault -- there's no parking in town!
If someone gets a parking ticket it wasn't their fault -- it's City Hall's fault for the signs not being easily understood, even though they have been in place for 10 years.
Selfish. That's the problem. Lots of my friends have gotten married or are getting married, a great example of selfishness are seen how people adhere or disregard the traditions of marriage, depending on how it helps them.
For example, who pays for marriage?
Traditionally it was the bride's family who paid for that. How often do you see the brides splitting that cost?
Who pays for the wedding ring?
Traditionally that would be the groom. How often do you see the brides splitting that cost?
Who takes on the last name of the groom?
Traditionally brides take the grooms last name. It's symbolic. Selfless. Showing that the bride is joining the groom's family.
Now what do you see today when people get married? Brides want the groom's family to split the wedding costs & they want to keep their last names - but the groom still pays $10,000+ for a wedding ring, a tradition they like to keep in place.
Lets look at American politics.
Taxes are a big issue right now. No one wants to pay taxes. But everyone wants healthcare. Everyone wants jobs. Everyone wants social security. Everyone wants the other guy to pay for it.
Perfect example is healthcare. You have people out there who are actors or artists, and they complain that they aren't getting healthcare. But they aren't paying their fair share into taxes. They say that they "deserve healthcare - Canada or Europe does it!!"
Have you looked at Greece or Italy lately? They are beyond broke. The rest of the EU is getting dragged down because of the selfishness of their people.
Is it being selfish to ask for healthcare? No.
But it is selfish to ask for healthcare and not pay into it. I personally think every TAXPAYER should get healthcare. Isn't that fair? You pay taxes, you get something in return.
You defend our country in the Armed Forces - you get healthcare for life.
You are a senior citizen who paid taxes their whole life - you get healthcare until you die.
You are an illegal immigrant who is getting paid in cash illegally? YOU DON'T GET HEALTHCARE.
You are a "staving artist" living in SoHo who thinks they are too good to get a menial job? YOU DON'T GET HEALTHCARE.
They are the selfish ones. Taking something without giving back. To me, healthcare should be universal for everyone who is paying (or had paid) into the system. Citizens of America, with the only exemption for those in religious services.
How is this different than, say a generation ago?
Families were brought up more concerned about their neighbors than themselves. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what YOU can do for your country. Parents taught their kids right and wrong. There was 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Not "achievement ribbons" for every child. Every kid isn't going to be an astronaut or a lawyer or Michael Jordan. You can't coddle kids, tell them that they are all special, and that they can never do wrong. What you get is exactly what's wrong today: a generation of kids who are entitled brats.
A generation ago words like "Please, Thank You, Excuse Me, Sir/Ma'am" were taught to children by their parents, not something kids said while rolling their eyes. How many times are you on a crowded subway and someone blasts through the door snarling: "EXCUSE ME! EXCUSE ME!" because YOU are in THEIR way.
Remember a key term: It's always the other person's fault.
You can't find a job? It's someone else's fault.
You can't pay your loans? It's the credit card companies fault for making it too easy to apply.
You can't pay your mortgage? It's the governments fault you put 0% down and paid for a home you couldn't afford on your $60,000 salary.
You can't pay your student loans? It's Bush's fault for destroying the economy so I couldn't graduate with a BA in Rhetoric and make $250,000 a year starting salary at a dot com.
It's always someone else's fault. No one is allowed to take ownership of their actions. Ever. This goes back to the entitlement. Me first. I'm special. It's not about you, its only about me. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

This past monday, the celebration of Iranian New Year, or Norooz, came to an end. To mark the occasion, I thought I would present you with one last Norooz post- what we ate, how we celebrated, etc.
The traditional new year's meal in Iran is sabzi polo (rice pilaf with herbs), kookoo sabzi (kind of a frittata with herbs), and fish. We left out the fish part, of course! The use of green herbs in abundance is meant to symbolize the season and the hopes for abundance that it brings.
Here I am chopping herbs with my trusty mezzaluna. I needed to chop the herbs very finely, but didn't want to use a food processor, since that would make more of a paste.
Which herbs did I use? I decided to keep things simple (and Syracuse-seasonal) and use the same in both the rice and the kookoo: parsley, cilantro, scallions, and garlic. (If you have them available, garlic shoots are a much more subtle and gentle substitute for garlic cloves.)
Here is the rice, with the "tadig" crust on top. To make sabzi polo, simply follow my instructions for making rice from here, but after the first parboiling, fold a combination of 1/2 bunch parsley, 1/2 bunch cilantro, 1/2 bunch scallions, and 1-2 cloves garlic chopped finely and combined, into the rice as you are adding it back to the pot. Finish cooking as usual.
With the other half of the chopped herb mixture, make the kookoo. Traditionally, kookoo sabzi is made with a bunch of eggs, a mixture of herbs, walnuts, and zereshk, cooked on the stovetop like a frittata. I substituted silken tofu and flour for eggs in my recipe, but I'm still tinkering with it. My kookoo came out a little softer than I would have liked (the taste was fine, though) so I'm still trying to get it to a firmer texture. I finished the kookoo in the oven. Amey has a recipe for this dish using firm tofu (click here) so you can use her recipe!
Depending on availability, you can use different herbs or herb combinations: try dill, chives, etc.
Here is our norooz dinner, pictured all together.
Close-up of the sabzi polo.
13 days after the beginning of Spring, Iranians finish up their new year celebrations with "sizdeh be dar." On this day, everyone goes out to a picnic in the park with their friends and family to celebrate the last day of the holiday. (After this, it's back to school and work!) Sometime during the picnic, it's traditional to take your sprouts from your haft-sin table, make a wish on them, and throw them into a creek, river, or some other moving water.
I sprouted lentils this year. It's also traditional to sprout wheat berries. Heck, last year, I sprouted some cat grass so the kitties could join in the festivities! As long as it's green, it's good.
Daiku and I were unable to have a picnic on Monday due to cold weather, but we decided to take our sprouts out anyway. First, we walked to a little park by our house, but the little creek there was stagnant- definitely not moving! So we drove a little bit and, boy did we find moving water!
Ha ha!
The next series of photos shows our sprouts being thrown into the canal... enjoy! Everyone, thanks for sharing in my new year's celebrations with me, and have a fantastic year to come.

Little Giants Add NCAA Qualifiersby Brent Harris • May 16, 2011 Share:
Senior Wes Chamblee became the latest member of the Wabash track and field team to qualify for the 2011 NCAA DIII Outdoor Championship Meet, posting a provisional time Sunday evening in the 400-meter hurdles. The 1600-meter relay team also reached the provisional qualifying mark over the weekend, while Kevin McCarthy improved his 1500-meter run time with a record-setting performance in Indianapolis.
Chamblee took second place in the 400 hurdles at the Indy Twilight Qualifier on the IUPUI campus Sunday evening. His time of 53.11 was well ahead of the provisional qualifying mark of 54.30 and is currently the 11th-fastest time this year in that event. Chamblee was competing in the hurdles for the first time this season. He suffered a severe knee injury during the opening game of the football season in the fall.
Chamblee (left) joined teammates John Haley, Jake Waterman, and Sean Hildebrand Friday at the Louisville Cardinal Twilight Meet to reach the provisional qualifying mark in the 1600-meter relay. The quartet finished the race in third place with a time of 3:15.60. The provisional qualifying mark is 3:16.40. The Wabash time places the Little Giants 17th on the latest national qualification list.
McCarthy shattered his own school record in the 1500-meter run on Sunday, crossing the finish line with a time of 3:50.68. His previous mark of 3:54.50, set earlier this year at the Rose-Hulman Invitational. McCarthy had already qualified for the national championship meet in the 3000-meter steeplechase and in the 800-meter run, but will now have an opportunity to compete in three events with his qualifying time from Sunday. His 1500-meter time is currently sixth-fastest among Division III men this season.
Waterman, Matt Knox, and Trevor Young have already qualified for the championship. Waterman has the eighth-fastest 800-meter time of the season, posting a time of 1:51.16. McCarthy (right) is ninth-fastest in the nation in the 800 with a time of 1:51.36. Knox and Young both cleared the NCAA provisional qualifying height of 4.75 meters (15 feet, 7 inches) earlier this year. Young has the best mark of the season, clearing 4.80 meters (15 feet, 9 inches), while Knox equalled the provisional mark at the Rose-Hulman meet.
Wabash will have one more week to try and improve their times before learning who will be eligible to compete at nationals. The NCAA Championship meet will take place May 26-28 at Ohio Wesleyan University.

Culture warriors: Grant Heslov and George Clooney salute WWII art brigade in 'Monuments Men'
"It's a World War II story we've never seen before," says writer-producer Grant Heslov about The Monuments Men, the Feb. 7 Columbia Pictures release directed by George Clooney, his longtime filmmaking partner. Clooney stars alongside a tantalizing name cast that also includes Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, and Hugh Bonneville of "Downton Abbey."
The Monuments Men were a group of seven museum directors, curators and art historians recruited to rescue art masterworks stolen by the Nazis and ultimately return them to their rightful owners. None were professional soldiers, but they willingly courted danger by going behind enemy lines to fulfill their cultural mission. Clooney plays Frank Stokes, a fictional surrogate for George Stout, then an art conservationist at Harvard's Fogg Art Museum; Damon is James Granger, based on James Rorimer, a curator at New York's Metropolitan Museum and founder of the Cloisters; and Blanchett is Claire Simone, based on Rose Valland, a courageous Frenchwoman who managed the Jeu de Pomme during the occupation of Paris.
Heslov and Clooney adapted the screenplay from Robert M. Edsel and Bret Witter's 2009 book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History. As Heslov recalls, "I picked the book up at a bookstore—I was just browsing and it seemed interesting… And about a year later George and I were talking about what we wanted to do next and it came up in conversation, and we decided: Yeah, it would make a really great film."
Heslov continues, "We were looking to do something without much cynicism. We'd just come off doing The Ides of March, which obviously is a very cynical look at the world. This just fit the bill for us—and it's an unbelievably great story."
The writer-producer admits that with such a "monumental" adventure saga, "you have to take some license because it's so big. You are anchored to certain pivotal points because there are historical moments you can't mess around with. But the spirit of the story is very intact—it's the spirit of the time and the book and the people that we spoke to."
As producers, Heslov and Clooney are often drawn to real-life stories; their resume includes the Oscar-nominated Edward R. Murrow drama Good Night, and Good Luck, The Men Who Stare at Goats, and last year's Oscar Best Picture winner, Argo. What's behind the attraction? "George's father was a newsman and that colors his world," Heslov notes. "And his father is a big history buff. For me, I like stories that happened, or that have some element of truth. I just find them fascinating. Not to the exclusion of completely fictional stories, but some of the better underlying material you read comes from stuff that's based in fact."
One can't help thinking that the name George Clooney is a magnet for securing the kind of A-level cast The Monuments Men boasts, but Heslov insists, "Everything starts with the script—hopefully people are attracted to that. And with George playing one of the leads, that makes it easier to cast. But that's the case with any film—you get the first actor and then everything else falls into place. I like to think that our track record helps us attract a good cast."
Clooney and Heslov are also producers of another upcoming release with an all-star cast—The Weinstein Company's August: Osage County, the film adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy-drama starring Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Chris Cooper, Sam Shepard and Juliette Lewis. Heslov explains, "When the rights became available to the play, George and I chased it. And we couldn't get it because Harvey [Weinstein] already had the option because he had been involved with the play. But subsequently Harvey came back to us and said: Hey, you guys want to produce? That was great, because we really love that play. We loved the idea of doing a film that was heavily female, because we often don't do that. It hasn't really been a conscious choice—the things that we've done just haven't had a lot of female roles."
So how does Heslov feel about having two potential awards contenders in the offing? "You just try to make the best film you can make," he counters. "If you focus on that stuff, you get yourself into trouble. Our goal with Monuments Men was to make a big, entertaining film, and I think we succeeded. And August: Osage is just a fantastic experience—I think that film is going to do very well."
Heslov and Clooney first met in an acting class when they were struggling performers and have remained friends ever since. (They actually appeared together on an episode of "The Facts of Life," on which Clooney was a regular and Heslov was a guest player.) As Clooney enjoyed his breakout on "ER," Heslov was taking supporting roles in films like True Lies, Congo and Dante's Peak. Their first collaboration as producers was the HBO series "K Street," followed by Good Night, and Good Luck in 2005.
Looking back on how far he and his partner have come, Heslov calls the journey "amazing. Once in while, we'll go: Jesus, this is wild. Because we really did start out, both of us, with nothing, in terms of our careers. So it does put a big smile on your face."
Heslov confesses that he misses his performing days, "because acting's a lot of fun. It's completely different than the producing or writing or directing side. With acting, you're just concerned about one thing, and that's your role and your character's part of the whole. And you have no idea what's going on to make all this happen. In retrospect, it's a very cushy job.
"But I have a part in The Monuments Men. A guy who was supposed to play a doctor couldn't make it on the day we were shooting—he had a medical issue with his wife—and we were going to recast it. And George said: Why don't you just play it? It was fun, we had a great time."
Heslov says he knew Clooney would be a good director "before he ever directed a film. About 25 years ago we were trying to get a film made, and he directed a five or ten-minute piece and I could tell then he had a good sense of it. On Confessions of a Dangerous Mind [Clooney's directing debut], he had such a deft hand. When you work with George, he knows exactly what he wants. There's always a very strong point of view."
Those strong convictions, however, don't result in on-set tension. "We both feel it shouldn't be a drag to go to work. He tries to keep things very light, except when you have to be really serious about the shooting. He doesn't work long days—he doesn't believe in that. We do a lot of prep to make sure we can keep our days as short as possible. It's important for us that everybody has a good time."
As to how their alliance works, Heslov observes, "We have similar tastes, but we challenge each other. There's qualities in my work style that are the opposite of his, and that makes for a good partnership."
Heslov adds, "If it's a film he's directing, there's some division in what we do. But if it's something like August: Osage County, not really. We're both on the set together, we get on the calls together, we give notes together—we pretty much try to speak as one voice. Otherwise it can get annoying or confusing for a filmmaker. We're pretty aligned in that case."
After three nominations (twice for writing, once for producing), Heslov finally took home Oscar gold this past February as one of the producers of Argo. Thanks to Ben Affleck's omission in the directing race, the Best Picture win wasn't a sure thing. "But when you think about it, we did win every single possible award—the BAFTAs, the Golden Globes, the Broadcast Critics. Yet people were still saying we were the underdog, which was great, because I'd much rather be in that position. I think being the frontrunner is a tough place to be."

WOLFSBURG, Germany (July 6, 2011) – The United States were defeated 2-1 by a disciplined and sharp Sweden team in front of 23,468 fans at the Women's World Cup Stadium in Wolfsburg to close out group play at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup. With six points, the U.S. finished in second place in Group C, setting up a quarterfinal match against Group D winners Brazil on July 10 in Dresden. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. ET, and the match will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN3.com and Galavision. Fans can also follow on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and on Twitter @ussoccer_wnt.
The match marked the fourth meeting between the U.S. and Sweden in Women's World Cup play. The victory is Sweden's second against the United States in 2011, and ended the team's unbeaten record in group play after 18 total matches.
"I thought it was a good game today: entertaining but also tactically pretty interesting," said U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage. "I'm happy with the way we created chances but disappointed we didn't win the game. I really want us to embrace the pressure. I think we'll get stronger and it will be inspiring to play against Brazil."
Despite outshooting Sweden 20-9, the U.S. was foiled by the efforts of goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl who made several saves from close range while watching many other U.S. shots from distance miss their target.
The match began tensely in the opening minutes as both teams applied high pressure all over the field. The U.S. created the first real danger in the seventh minute when Carli Lloyd found space in transition and ripped a 30-yarder wide. On the ensuing goal kick, Lloyd's attempted header in midfield skipped backwards, unintentionally putting Lotta Schelin through alone against U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo. With Solo standing tall, Schelin used her first touch to fire a low shot that Solo gamely kick-saved.
The U.S. nearly got on the board in the 13th minute, building off a nice pass from Amy LePeilbet to Amy Rodriguez. With a penetrating dribble, she slipped a ball to Abby Wambach, whose first-time left-footer to the near post was handled by Lindahl.
Three minutes later, Sweden grabbed the lead from the penalty spot when Schelin was bundled down in the area by LePeilbet. The referee did not hesitate in pointing to the spot and issuing a yellow card to the defender. Dahlkvist stepped up for Sweden, drilling a drive hard to her left. Solo guessed correctly but couldn't keep out the powerful effort, the goal ending her shutout streak at 797 minutes.
The United States almost went even in the 20th minute after a nifty passing sequence sent Rodriguez flying down the left flank. Her cross into the penalty area deflected to Wambach, who strongly held off her defender and dropped a pass into the path of Lauren Cheney. The midfielder rifled a driven shot that whistled past the far post. Cheney had another chance less than 60 seconds later but her half-volley from 15 yards out sliced over the bar.
The U.S. continued to press with Cheney serving a dangerous cross from the left that was nicked by Lindahl as Wambach lurked behind. In the 32nd minute it was Rodriguez who earned herself a chance, outracing defender Charlotte Rohlin to the top of the area. With Lindahl off her line, Rodriguez attempted a chip that frustratingly skimmed off the top of the crossbar.
Sweden benefitted from an unfortunate deflection to take a 2-0 lead in the 35th minute. The free kick effort from 25 yards out by team captain Nilla Fischer would not have troubled Solo, but the ball ricocheted off LePeilbet's thigh near the top of the 18 and caromed into the opposite corner.
Probing for a goal before halftime, U.S. captain Christie Rampone delivered a long free kick into the area. Lloyd pounced on the knock down, but Lindahl was well positioned to bat away her sliding shot.
Sundhage inserted Alex Morgan at halftime for Rodriguez and the U.S. continued its search to get back into the game. At the 50-minute mark Shannon Boxx launched a strike from distance that Lindahl bobbled and had to scramble to scoop while Wambach closed in. On the hour, Megan Rapinoe earned a free kick 30 yards from goal and Fischer was cautioned for the foul. Lloyd struck another wicked shot that once again troubled Lindahl as it bounced off her chest, but she recovered in the nick of time to avoid the U.S. threat.
The USA's efforts finally paid off in the 67th minute when Wambach got a well-deserved breakthrough, tallying her first goal of the tournament. Cheney delivered a flat, driven corner kick that skimmed off Fischer and off the shoulder of Wambach, who powered the ball into the upper left corner. She now has 10 goals in her Women's World Cup career and 119 overall.
The goal added a boost to an already energized U.S. attack, and Sweden gamely held their ground as the United States pushed for an equalizer. Kelley O'Hara replaced Rapinoe in the 73rd minute to earn her first opportunity in a World Cup and almost tied the game with four minutes remaining. Cheney pulled a nice spinning move deep in the left side of the area and picked out O'Hara on the back post but her angled volley drifted wide.

can someone sniff my network without having an account of any kind? Or would they need to exploit to root... but if so why sniff?
Sniffing your network requires a virtual or physical prescence on your network..... I can't sniff you from here because I can't "see" your network.
If you have a network secured from the internet then I can't see the traffic passing across it..... If it isn't secure I could install a sniffer that will report all traffic to me.......
Don\'t SYN us.... We\'ll SYN you.....
\"A nation that draws too broad a difference between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards, and its fighting done by fools.\" - Thucydides
ok thanks so much.. one more question if I may. Is there a certain level of access required in order to install the sniffer? Could anyone with access to write install one?
They could put an executable on your network but they couldn't install it without running it from your computer. you would have to run the executable for it to be installed.
This might be a bit off topic, but I cant figure out how to post a new topic...(sry for being such a n00b)
At the top of the forum you want to post in, there will be a button "New Thread". Click on that and post your new topic. Just be sure to search the forums first to make sure that your topic hasn't already been brought up or your question answered. To search go to the top right of the main page and there will be a little box there to type in your search terms. Welcome to AO.
ok thx heretic. I couldnt find the forums. lol.
one question from me too... if u r working on internet, can anyone sniff into ur mailbox or your system??
Now is the moment, or NEVER!!!
I guess that would depend on the services you have running. I would say that yes they could sniff into your email by sniffing your username and password or catching it with a keylogger. They could also sniff onto your system I guess. If they can join your network they can at least access any shares you have. Then they could put an executable in one of your shared directories, like some sort of trojan. And if you run the executable then they will get control. I would password protect my shares and make them read only. If I were you I would turn off file sharing and get a good firewall. If you have a wireless network there are a few tutorials at AO on securing wireless networks. The best advice I can give you is be paranoid. Get all the antivirus/firewall/antispyware/antitrojan software, and update and use it.
Actual sniffing is placing a computer on a network that collects packets and does something with them. Either logs them or searches them for certain strings (like username: password to collect information. You don't actually sniff a mailbox or anything like that, but you can set up a sniffer to just watch your computers connections to your email server. But if someone was going to take the time to sniff your network, they would get more then just your email.
You do need acess to the network, and you have to be able to run the NIC in promiscius mode. This means that the network card will read all packets, not just the ones that are addressed to that network card. To set the network card to promiscius mode, you do need root/administrator access on that machine. But someone could set up their own machine on your network in a hidden location as long as they had root on that machine. They don't need admin access on the network, just 1 machine which will be set up as a sniffer. If you a running a switched network (switches, not hubs) its a lot harder to set up a sniffing box because you also need access to the switch.

Taylor Swift Proves to Be a 'Great Collaborator' at 'Ours' Video Shoot – Webisode 11
Actor Zach Gilford's recollection of first saying hello to Taylor Swift on the set of her new 'Ours' video sounds like a lot of folks' experiences with meeting the singer: "I just met Taylor this morning for the first time, and she was just super nice. Came in, gave me a hug."
"It's kind of crazy," Gilford — maybe just a little bit starstruck — admits in the video clip below, No. 11 out of 13 in a behind-the-scenes series documenting the making of 'Ours.' He goes on to ramble about her being a megastar yet "totally a normal person" all at once.
His time spent on the set with Swift as her onscreen boyfriend clearly impressed him, and director Declan Whitebloom can attest to the entertainer's work ethic and professionalism.
"With Taylor, she knows what she's doing. She's got great taste, great sense of style and ability," he remarks, later adding, "She's really incredibly a decent human being and a real great collaborator, polite and lovely, which is not the way a lot of other artists are."
Check out the video clip below to see what it's like to work with Swift, and don't forget to return to Taste of Country for the last two installments of her 'Ours' webisode series.

Researching a HOFFMAN(N) family connected to a Puerto Rican family in New York City
I have been researching my paternal family since 2007. I was adopted in 1955 (born in New york city) Briefly, I have re-united with my biological mother, unfortunatley she can not offer me very much information on my bio-father. My biological mother claims that my father's surname is Hoffman and he called himself "Jack" (for william?? or John??)
In anycase, I have a brother,our mother was extremely young,when she gave birth to my brother in 1952, she was 15 yrs. old.
My brother and I, know that we have the same father (DNA tests proved this) My brother does not know more than I do about our father.I assume that bio-father was born between 1925 and 1937 (bio-mother born in 1937, she lived in Washington Heights NY.City and in 1950,in the Bronx)I have been trying to use "cluster genealogy" and am thinking of making a map.
I do know these things: He has Puerto Rican blood lines through his maternal family (again DNA tests and help from a genetic genealogist proved this)
The maternal surnames concerning his P.R. heritage would most likely be:Arroyo-Otero-Morales-Miranda-Vazquez-Gonzalez-Rivera-Matos. "RIVERA" being the most prevelent surname.
I know too, that there were HOFFMAN families in Puerto Rico abt.1800/1850 they were managing plantations there.Some immigrated to new York City.
I also know that many Puerto Rican families during the late 40's and into the 1950's and 1960's lived in the Bronx, Brooklyn (Kings point) Red Hook (cobble Hill).
I have noted a number of these families through Ancestry.Com. but I can get no closer to finding the correct family.I was going on the lines that perhaps bio-father was a Merchant Marine or in the Navy.I've tried to obtain information from the USMMA to no avail.
Other Hoffmans(n) that I have found in yearbooks Universites, these Univerities in question, will not give out information on their alumni student's families, (as I am interested in the maternal surnames of the mother or grandmother who would have been of Puerto Rican descent)
My mother mentioned that bio-father was an attorney for the goverment,not sure of this.
Have you any suggestions,I would love to have some help.I now live in France,so it would be difficult or costly to go somewhere directly, for further information.
John Paul BRAUN Born-March 26,1894 New York City German or Swedish? BRAUNS
Hello to all,
I am researching my maternal grandfather. John paul Braun, Born March 26,1894 in NY.City (at least I assume in NY.City) There is a possibility that he was from California, and that is why I have been going around in circles,the "brick Wall".
John paul's father's name- Anton or Alexander Braun
" "mother's name- Anna Trauoff or TRAVOFF possibly Russian/Bulgaria
John Paul was a plumber or Pipefitter,After his 1942,WWII registration card, he worked for the W.P.A Work projects Administration in NY.City.Addresses would be: 155,E.109 St.Manhattan NY. and 343,East 142 street Bronx NY. City in abt.1944
He was said to have a twin brother and a sister named Olivia, John was a redhead.
I was told that his family had a chocolate sweet shop, whether in the USA or Germany this can not be made clear. My grandfather claimed that his family was from Berlin Germany, this is doubtful, because the surname Braun is not widespread in Berlin,perhaps he was from a town near Berlin.My grandfather left for California in the 1950's with daughters Lanora Faith and Elizabeth. He died 1971 there.
I have recently been given a 1930 census with information that his parents were from SWEDEN,has anyone SWEDISH Brauns?
I would be grateful to find any living family connected to my BRAUN family.
Fitzpatrick Family in New York City late 1800's 1900

I am searching for the desendants of my grandmother ( Elizabeth Rose Fitzpatrick Born abt.1900 on Jan.1st.)
With her brother and sister who were possibly adopted out they were orphaned and taken away by the NYSPCC. and interned at Saint Joseph's Home in Peekskill New York.
Their names are; Bridget 5 years old and Patrick 4 years old this was About 1911.There were other children of whom I do not even have any trace of,Margaret,John,Agnes,Mary.
Thank you for any helpful information.

Stocks closed higher for a second session in choppy trading Thursday, with the Dow finishing above the psychologically-important 13,000 level, following comments from several lawmakers on the looming "fiscal cliff" and after an earlier batch of upbeat economic data.
"If you're a day trader, you absolutely trade it because you love the volatility—that's how you make money," said Kenny Polcari, independent trader. "But if you're a long-term person, I don't think you chase it at all. You remain patient and let the prices come to you."

Gravitationally Lensed High-Redshift Galaxy Candidates
This is a color composite image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Green circles mark the locations of candidate galaxies at a redshift of z~8, while higher-redshift candidates are circled in red. The estimated distances to these candidates have not been confirmed spectroscopically.
About 20 to 30 percent of these high-z galaxy candidates are very close to foreground galaxies, which is consistent with the prediction that a significant fraction of galaxies at very high redshifts are gravitationally lensed by individual foreground galaxies. This will help as a guide for future observations planned for the James Webb Space Telescope when it is launched.

Cunningham's 64th goal in Black & Gold was the one that broke the all-time MLS scoring record. On Aug. 27 at Seattle, the veteran forward took a well-placed penalty kick that made him the most prolific goal-scorer in MLS history.
In the end, Eddie Gaven suffered 'only' 65 fouls. Gaven was the third most fouled player in the league in 2011.
Robbie Rogers recorded a career-high seven assists this season, breaking his previous record of five tallied in 2009.

The Fighting Side of Me: "Diversity" Choking in Contradictions
June 19, 2012
Ahmed Hassan, Somali drug pusher and gang member slain in Toronto Eaton's Centre Shootout. Another sign of our failed immigration selection
Paul Fromm discusses:
- Uh, about all the contributions of a "diverse" society, not when it comes to giving. Of 39 prominent people on Toronto's United Way Cabinet, only two are non-Whites — however, 52% of Toronto's population in non-White;
- More on the Eaton's Centre shootout; immigrant gangsters; the colour of violent crime in Toronto — Black;
- Pushing the homosexual agenda — Ontario Liberal government jaw-boning Catholic schools and forcing them to call anti-bullying clubs "Gay Straight Alliance".

North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper will stop defending state's marriage ban
July 28, 2014
Today, July 28, just hours after the United States Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit issued its decision in Bostic v. Schaefer out of Virginia, affirming a lower court ruling in favor of the freedom to marry for same-sex couples, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said that his office would stop defending marriage discrimination in the Tarheel State.
Our attorneys have vigorously defended North Carolina's marriage law, which is their job, but today our marriage law will almost surely be overturned as well. Simply put, it's time to stop making arguments we will lose and instead move forward knowing that the ultimate resolution will likely come from the U.S. Supreme Court.
After reviewing the Fourth Circuit decision and consulting with attorneys here, I've concluded the State of North Carolina will not oppose the cases moving forward. The State of North Carolina will acknowledge the Fourth Circuit's opinion that marriage is a fundamental right and our office believes judges in North Carolina are bound by this Fourth Circuit decision.
Cooper is now the tenth Attorney General in nine states to refuse to defend marriage discrimination, following similar moves from the Attorneys General in California (first then-AG Jerry Brown, and subsequently, current AG Kamala Harris), Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Nevada, Virginia, Oregon, and Kentucky. Each of these attorneys general refused to defend the anti-marriage laws, declaring them unconstitutional and indefensible. In several other states, including Maryland, New York, and Arkansas, Attorneys General have voiced their support for the freedom to marry for same-sex couples.
Freedom to Marry President Evan Wolfson applauded AG Cooper's move. He said:
Attorney General Roy Cooper's principled decision to stop spending North Carolina's taxpayers money to defend indefensible marriage discrimination puts him in good company, alongside the U.S. Attorney General and eight of his state counterparts. The Constitution's command is clear, as is the writing on the wall - and it's time to end marriage discrimination and proclaim liberty throughout the land, including North Carolina and Virginia where so many loving and committed couples are eager to share in the freedom to marry.
In February, United States Attorney General Eric Holder, who famously refused to defend the so-called Defense of Marriage Act two years before its core was struck down by the United States Supreme Court, indicated that Attorneys General are not required to defend laws that they believe to be unconstitutional. He explained, ""Engaging in that process and making that determination is something that's appropriate for an attorney general to do," adding, "If I were attorney general in Kansas in 1953, I would not have defended a Kansas statute that put in place separate-but-equal facilities."
Freedom to Marry celebrates Attorney General Cooper's refusal to defend marriage discrimination in North Carolina. As more and more state officials come to the shared understanding that there is no good reason to deny the freedom to marry to same-sex couples, we can continue to advance marriage for all.
