Gidget is a fictional character created by author Frederick Kohner (1905-86), based on his teenage daughter Kathy (now Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman) in his 1957 novel, Gidget, the Little Girl with Big Ideas. The novel follows the adventures of a teenage girl and her surfing friends on the beach at Malibu. The name Gidget is a portmanteau word of "girl and midget".[1] Following the novel's publication, the character appeared in several films, television series and telemovies.
The Novels[edit]
Frederick Kohner wrote eight "Gidget" novels, six of them original novels, two of them novelizations based on motion pictures with the same titles.
Gidget, the Little Girl with Big Ideas (1957)[edit]
"I'm writing this down because I once heard that when you're getting older you're liable to forget things and I'd sure be the most miserable woman in this world if I ever forgot what happened this summer."[1]
- chapter one, first sentence (p.3 in current edition)
"All things considered--maybe I was just a woman in love with a surfboard."[1]
- chapter fifteen, second last sentence (p.154 in current edition)
Cher Papa (1959)[edit]
"He gave this a moment of thought.
"Then he said, 'In love--I don't think I am. But I do like Franzie. I liked her from the day I saw her for the first time, out at Malibu on the board. She's got spunk and spirit. She's got warmth and enthusiasm. And--' he smiled diffidently, 'I like her particularly because I know that she likes me.'
"I admit I was quite fascinated by this bit of self analysis.
"'I am always ready to like a girl who likes me,' the Kahoona went on. 'You see, I am basically a shy person. It's always been hard for me to believe that a woman really liked me. So if it happens--well--I really want to hold onto it.' "[2]
- chapter five
- N.B. Cher Papa is unique among the novels in that it is narrated by Gidget's father rather than Gidget (Franzie) herself; the above quote is excerpted from a conversation between Gidget's father and the Kahoona. It is included because it speaks to the nature of Gidget as a human being, and the nature of her close friendship with the Kahoona.
Gidget goes Hawaiian (1961 novelization)[edit]
"My friend the great Kahoona once told me that the sea is where we came in, and the sea is where we go out. We have crawled out of the sea and one day we're going to crawl back into it. That solution of salt is in our blood."[3]
- chapter seven
The Affairs of Gidget (1963)[edit]
"All the short years of my life I have been fascinated by the word 'affair.'
"It sounds so decadent.
And when I say short years, I say so advisedly. They have been painfully short, fifty-nine inches to be precise and that's stretching it."[4]
- chapter one, first few sentences
"If you want to believe the Arabs, there are three things you can't hide: love, smoke and a man riding on the back of a camel.
"I have news for the Arabs.
"They have left out one other thing, and that thing is a toothache."[4]
- chapter twelve, first few sentences
Gidget Goes to Rome (1963 novelization)[edit]
"Amore, I said to myself, if it is good--it is very good. And if it is bad--well--it isn't that bad."[5]
- chapter six, last sentence
Gidget in Love (1965)[edit]
"The bluebird of happiness had come home to roost. If this isn't heaven, I thought, lingering in his sweet embrace, I ask you, what is?"[6]
- chapter fifteen, last two sentences
Gidget goes Parisienne (1966)[edit]
"Everything was about to begin.
"I felt ridiculously young.
"I had groups and groups of time left.
"Zut alors, so free and light as I, was no one in this world."[7]
- chapter twenty-two, last several sentences
Gidget Goes New York (1968)[edit]
"Life, I think, is wonderful, but people are hell."[8]
- chapter one, first sentence
Gidget (1959)[edit]
- "Surfing is out of this world. You can't imagine the thrill of the shooting the curl. Well, it positively surpasses every living emotion I've ever had."[9]
Gidget Goes Hawaiian (1961)[edit]
- "Something happens to parents when they have children; they forget that their kids are human beings...you show me one kid that'll go out of his way to become involved with his parents!"
- "But that's not the way it's supposed to go; I can't even be a good fallen women."
Gidget Goes to Rome (1963)[edit]
- "I want my epitaph to read: Here lies the only American Girl who ever came to Rome without tossing a coin in the fountain."

Canadian border guard shot in neck at US crossing
The female Canada Border Services Agency officer was seriously injured while she was in her booth
By Associated Press
BLAINE, Wash. — Canadian police are interviewing witnesses and reviewing video to learn why a man driving from the United States into Canada shot and wounded a female Canadian border guard.
Complicating their investigation, however, is the death of the man, whom police believe died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The gunman was driving a van with Washington state license plates, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Cpl. Bert Paquet said. The shooting Tuesday closed the Peace Arch crossing on the U.S.-Canada border, prompting officials to divert drivers to other crossings.
Canadian officials will determine when the crossing will reopen, Washington Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kris Olsen said.
The female Canada Border Services Agency officer was shot in the neck and seriously injured while she was in her booth, Paquet said. He had no details on her condition.
Investigators didn't immediately confirm whether the driver was the van's owner. Police were confident the unidentified man took his own life, based on initial investigations at the scene, Paquet said Tuesday evening, adding that there were no other suspects "at this time."
"Officers will be working 'round the clock," he said.
The injured officer's identity and other personal details were withheld pending notification of relatives, Paquet said.
The Peace Arch crossing in Blaine is the third-busiest port of entry on the northern border. Last month, it averaged 9,000 U.S.-bound cars a day, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The crossing features a park with a 67-foot-high monument in the form of an arch that connects the U.S. and Canada.
Canadian Brian White told reporters at the scene he was waiting to cross northward when he heard a shot. He said guards immediately responded, and that officials questioned everyone waiting to cross.
Kevin McAllister, assistant general manager at the Peace Portal Golf Course, which is adjacent to the border crossing, said an employee and several guests told him they heard shots fired at around 2 p.m.
"Two shots were fired," he said. "We've heard fire, police, ambulance heading southbound on (Highway) 99, which is probably about a couple hundred yards from the 18th green. So that's what they heard when all hell broke loose."
McAllister said he also heard and saw a police helicopter hovering over the 10th and 11th fairways, which are the closest fairways to the highway and the border crossing.
Paquet said Canadian officials were sharing information with U.S. authorities. "This is a very serious incident that occurred right on the border line," he said.
Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire said she spoke to British Columbia Premier Christy Clark and pledged the state's cooperation and help in the investigation.
"This tragedy hits especially close to home, and reminds us all that our public safety officers put their lives on the line every day to protect the rest of us," Gregoire said.
Her remarks were echoed by the president of the Canada Border Services Agency.
"This is a profound reminder of the risks that border services officers assume every day," Luc Portelance said in a statement from Ottawa. "I know that the courage and dedication of our officers are second to none."

The Fatah Party has taken the opportunity of its 48th anniversary to broadcast messages on its Facebook page that incite hatred, glorify terrorism and envision a world without Israel. Such messages come despite President Shimon Peres recently declaring that "Israel will have no better partner with whom to secure a peace agreement" than Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who also chairs Fatah.
Palestinian Media Watch has examined how Fatah has chosen to celebrate its 48th anniversary, which the Palestinian party has nicknamed "Breakthrough Day." The institute discovered a plethora Web pages related to Fatah's official media and within the PA's educational system that displayed messages of incitement and accusations against Jews.
Fatah glorified terrorism as acts of heroism on its Facebook page, PMW reported. The Palestinian party—which is the largest faction in the PA—displayed a map on its Web page that showed a world without Israel, despite statements from Abbas and other Fatah officials that their party and the Palestinian Liberation Organization have both recognized the Jewish state since the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993.
"Through conquering they stole our land," Web designers wrote against the backdrop of a map of Israel and the Palestinian territories labeled together as "Palestine," with no semblance of Israel's borders.
In addition, Fatah has celebrated Dalal Mughrabi—a terrorist and former Fatah member who helped massacre 37 Israeli citizens on a coastal bus attack in 1978—as a national hero through its online publications and party mouthpieces in the West Bank. Children carrying assault rifles are shown singing songs of exultation to Mughrabi.

As a classically trained violinist as well as a fiddle player, I have found Abbey Road on the River and orchestra rehearsals to be worlds apart. When you show up to an orchestra rehearsal on time you are considered late. You should already be unpacked, tuned, warmed up, and ready for the downbeat by the scheduled rehearsal time. Everything is structured and organized in a way to utilize rehearsal time in the most efficient way possible.
Now Abbey Road on the River on the other hand is (in polite terms) much more relaxed. If your rehearsal/sound check is supposed to start at 11:00am, expect to start an hour later. Grant it, orchestras don't have to worry about sound systems and plugging gear in. At Abbey Road on the River no one arrives before their scheduled time, that is when they start sitting up. This has always been a pet peeve of mine, harbored by years of classical discipline. I just assume I should be ready to play at my scheduled rehearsal/sound check time. Maybe all of us musicians should start scheduling 'call times' to start sitting up instead of scheduling times for rehearsals/sound checks. That would probably give a more realistic time line. I call this running on 'Beatles' time, hurry to get there and then sit around for a while. We all love playing this festival and many of us have done it for years, so despite the delays we have come to expect and accept it.
Then once the rehearsal/sound check starts more idle sitting occurs. Each person takes their own good time to sound check themselves, which to some extent is required to get a good mix. Sometimes we just go overboard. Musicians are very fickle when it comes to our sound. Then it takes a really long conversation to determine which songs to play through. All the while we could have probably played through all the music at that point. We play through the songs maybe once, some songs we play for the first time during the concert. Don't get us wrong, we've play those songs before just not on the stage in that environment. It's common for a rehearsal/sound check to take anywhere from one to three hours. Somehow miraculously though everything comes together beautifully and the music sounds amazing. That's just some of the magic of Abbey Road on the River.

Mayor wants 'jihadi John' killed
Boris Johnson has said he wants the reportedly English jihadist who beheaded an American journalist to be killed in a bomb attack and has joined the growing calls for Britons fighting abroad to be stripped of their citizenship.
The Mayor of London said Britain must take on Islamic State (IS) and "try to close it down now", warning that doing nothing would mean a "tide of terror will eventually lap at our own front door".
Mr Johnson, who has overall responsibility for the Metropolitan Police, called for new laws that would mean anyone visiting Iraq and Syria would be automatically presumed to be terrorists unless they had notified the authorities in advance.
The UK's ambassador to the US said British intelligence agencies are "close" to identifying the man who beheaded American journalist James Foley
British intelligence agencies are close to identifying the IS (formerly ISIL) brutal killer who has been dubbed "jihadi John".
Writing in his Daily Telegraph column, Mr Johnson said: " Young men such as this killer are famously told that if they die in 'battle' they will be welcomed in heaven by the sexual ministrations of 72 virgins.
"Many of them believe it - even though scholars have suggested that the reference to 'black-eyed virgins' is in fact a promise of 72 raisins. I suspect most of us don't give a monkey's what happens to this prat in heaven, whether he meets virgins or raisins - we just want someone to come along with a bunker buster and effect an introduction as fast as possible."
Former shadow home secretary David Davis has called for IS fighters to lose their British citizenship and Lord Carey, former Archbishop of Canterbury, said they must face being stripped of their passports.
Mr Johnson said those who "continue to give allegiance to a terrorist state" should lose their British status citizenship and called for swift changes to the law so there is a "rebuttable presumption" that those visiting war areas without notifying the authorities have done so for a terrorist purpose.
The mayor said that while Britain's recent military interventions have left the nation reluctant to wade into overseas conflicts " doing nothing is surely the worst of all" and warned that the IS "wackos" must be tackled.
" What is the point of having a defence budget, if we don't at least try to prevent the establishment of a terrorist 'caliphate' that is profoundly hostile to civilised values?"
Britain's ambassador to the United States Sir Peter Westmacott confirmed that intelligence agencies are on the brink of identifying the IS terrorist.
He told CNN's State of the Union programme: " I do know from my colleagues at home that we are close.
" We're putting a lot into it. And there are some very sophisticated technologies, voice identification and so on, which people can use to check who these people are. But, of course, the problem goes beyond one horrendous criminal, if you like."
Foreign Office and Home Office officials refused to comment on the claims.
"We do not comment on security matters," a Foreign Office spokesman said.
Downing Street said the Government was "stepping up" efforts to defeat IS terrorists and announced that Lieutenant General Sir Simon Mayall has been appointed as security envoy to the Kurdistan region of Iraq.
Body armour, night vision goggles and other non-lethal equipment will be supplied to Kurdish forces over the next few days.

NBC is reviving their comedy bonanza of the '80s — sorta. An upcoming episode of Guys With Kids will find the Marny character, played by former Huxtable kid Tempestt Bledsoe, reuniting with her sister Bridget. And who has the show's shrewd casting director hired to play Bridget? Bledsoe's Cosby Show costar Keshia Knight Pulliam has won the role.
Pulliam, now 33, played youngest daughter Rudy on Bill Cosby's 1984-92 sitcom, while Bledsoe, who turns 40 this summer, played Vanessa.
Bridget is described as Marny's fun and irresponsible baby sister who comes to town for a few days on the heels of a bad break up. The episode has yet to be scheduled.

Boys Basketball: Amity Down One Man Beats Lyman Hall 49-39
Orange Life Sports Writer
Sponsored by Maid Brigade of Derby
Bouncing back from Friday's 50-43 loss to Cheshire, the Amity boys basketball team pasted Lyman Hall 49-39 Tuesday night in a Southern Connecticut Conference Housatonic Division contest that was played in Woodbridge. With the victory Amity upped its overall record to 11-3 and kept pace with Cheshire for the top spot in the Housy with identical 5-1 records. The struggling Trojans drop to 1-13 overall and deeper into the Housy cellar with its 0-6 record. It clearly was not one of the Spartans' better outings, but they did play well enough to win.
"At times our play was uninspired and we didn't run our offense properly," Coach Jeff Nielsen said. "We settled for poor shots, especially in the first half. By the third and fourth quarters, our play picked up. We didn't settle for threes and jump shots. Instead we began looking to score on lay-ups."
With Remi Farrell and Matt Lettick leading the way, the Spartans hit six of their first nine shots and jumped off to a 15-3 lead. Zac Campbell ignited the offensive outburst with an early three and Dave Ryan ended it with a buzzer- beating three at the end of the first quarter. Farrell dropped in five of his 12 point total and pulled off four of his nine rebounds in the opening session.
According to Nielsen, "Remi is really starting to assert himself. He's becoming more aggressive at the offensive and defensive ends of the court. He's learning how to play the post and how to establish a good defensive balance between being smart and being aggressive. His overall play is much better now than it was at the start of the year."
After hitting only one of its nine shots in the first quarter, Lyman Hall's play improved in the second session. While Amity's offense cooled off, the Trojans, led by Alex McKay (who dropped in six of his 11 points), outscored the Spartans 10-7 in the second quarter and reduced their deficit to nine points (22-13) at the break.
Campbell (who tossed in seven of his 18 points) during the third quarter, kept Amity comfortably ahead but the Trojans refused to be blown away. Thanks to consecutive threes by Devin Cruz and Chris Ames, Lyman Hall trailed by only 10 points (35-25) after 24 minutes of action.
When Farrell stuffed a put back dunk down into the cylinder with 45 seconds left in the game, Amity had its biggest lead of the night (49-34). The gritty but outgunned Trojans ended the game with a three ball from Ames and a final lay-up by freshman guard Will Shields.
Nielsen added, "In the second half, our defense was decent and we started getting the ball inside to Zac. We knew that Cruz (17 points) and McKay could score, so we tried to keep them in check. The result was, we walked away with another win."
The winners ended up hitting 20 of their 49 shots from the floor (41%) while Lyman Hall canned only 16 of 47 (34%). Led by Lettick (10 points and 10 rebounds) Amity also outboarded the Trojans 36-28.
Amity played without the services of Gardner Broderick, who was sidelined by the flu. Ryan replaced him in the starting line-up.
The Spartans visit Sheehan Friday at 7 p.m.

Heading to T.G.I. Friday's? You NEED this survival guide! You probably know that giant burgers and loaded potato skins aren't exactly light, so we're focusing on the truly shocking SKIPS... and the truly crave-worthy PICKS!
Cocktails - Places like Friday's seem to pride themselves on their oversized fruity cocktails, which can pack in MAJOR calories. Ignore the specialty drinks, and order with a little help from our Happy Hour Survival Guide. The one exception on the Friday's menu? The Skinny Blackberry Margarita, with 130 calories! Nice... The "Right Portion, Right Price" Label - This means that a menu item has under 750 calories. Kind of a high calorie cap, especially since it says nothing of the fat content. Case in point? The RPRP Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad with Caesar Vinaigrette has 46g fat. Bottom line: Allow the label to steer you in the right direction, but check the full stats for a more complete picture. Salad Dressings - In general, the dressings here are rather frightening: 210 - 320 calories and 22 - 34g fat! The exceptions are the Low-Fat Balsamic Vinaigrette (80 calories, 3g fat, and, in a distant second place, the Caesar Vinaigrette (120 calories, 12g fat). Just don't confuse the Low-Fat Balsamic Vinaigrette with the standard Balsamic Vinaigrette, which has 300 calories and 31g fat. Desserts - Some of them are available in both individual and shareable sizes, but know this: Even the single-serve desserts have ginormous calorie counts. Your best bet if you must order dessert? A scoop of orange sherbet from the kids' menu, with 150 fat-free calories. A better bet? Head home for a guilt-free treat... or stash a VitaTop in your purse (or murse, for the fellas)! Sodium - The sodium counts are pretty high across the board here (and for most chain-restaurant meals). If excess sodium is a concern, you may want to avoid dining out at chain restaurants as much as possible.
PICK IT! Spinach Florentine Flatbread 1 order: 540 calories, 30g fat, 1,000mg sodium, 49g carbs, 3g fiber, sugars n.a., 17g protein When it comes to a shareable starter, this crispy oven-baked flatbread isn't a bad option. Just remember to share... SKIP IT! Classic Mediterranean Hummus 1 order: 1,020 calories, 43g fat, 1,870mg sodium, 134g carbs, 9g fiber, sugars n.a., 26g protein Here's an item with a bit of a health halo around it. ALAS! This hummus 'n pita app has almost as many calories as the White Cheddar Spicy Beef Queso with tostada chips. Yikes! This dish may very well be the shocker of the century...
* * *
PICK IT! Soup of the Day: Chicken Noodle 1 order: 250 calories, 7g fat, 1,240mg sodium, 33g carbs, 2g fiber, sugars n.a., 15g protein These stats aren't super impressive for broth-based soup, but this is the best pick if you're in the mood for soup at Friday's. And you know what they say about starting your meal with broth-based soup. (You don't? They say you'll take in fewer calories overall!) SKIP IT! Soup of the Day: Tomato Basil 1 order: 300 calories, 24g fat, 1,920mg sodium, 20g carbs, 4g fiber, sugars n.a., 5g protein That's a whole lotta fat for a tomato-based soup. It's not as bad as the New England Clam Chowder, of course, which has 500 calories and 30g fat. But we felt it warranted a warning. Slurp smart!
PICK IT! Friday's House Salad with Bread Stick (without dressing) 1 order without dressing: 210 calories, 7g fat, 280mg sodium, 30g carbs, 4g fiber, sugars n.a., 8g protein Don't get us started on the fact that the bread stick stats aren't listed separately, preventing us from savvy subtraction. But it's safe to say that if you skip the stick, your salad will have considerably fewer calories, carbs, and fat grams. When it comes to dressing, go for the aforementioned Low-Fat Balsamic Vinaigrette. Or just add a spritz of lemon or a few spoonfuls of salsa! SKIP IT! Classic Wedge Salad 1 order: 620 calories, 59g fat, 1,140mg sodium, 12g carbs, 3g fiber, sugars n.a., 13g protein Nearly 60g fat? More than 600 calories? NO. That's a BAD salad! Go back to the kitchen and think about what you did, you silly cheese-and-bacon-topped wedge of lettuce.
PICK IT! Dragonfire Chicken 1 entrée: 670 calories, 15g fat, 2,160mg sodium, 99g carbs, 6g fiber, sugars n.a., 40g protein Yum! This chicken dish is A-OK by us. The Kung Pao sauce gives it some kick, while the fruity salsa cools things down. Pssst... We've been known to order it without rice and with double broccoli! SKIP IT! Hibachi Chicken Skewers 1 entrée: 1,330 calories, 41g fat, 4,760mg sodium, 187g carbs, 8g fiber, sugars n.a., 56g protein Now this just makes us mad. It's so deceptive! The kebabs are marinated in soy sauce, grilled, and basted with miso glaze. They're served with the same rice as the Dragonfire Chicken, plus fresh veggies and some pita bread. This all sounds so innocent. WHAT GIVES?
PICK IT! 6 oz. Sirloin (without sides) 1 entrée without sides: 370 calories, 24g fat, 1,450mg sodium, 2g carbs, 0g fiber, sugars n.a., 38g protein In case you haven't heard, a nice petite sirloin is generally a good choice at most restaurants! Ask the server to skip the butter, and you'll save some fat and calories. Then choose from the smart side dishes listed below! SKIP IT! Sedona Black Bean Burger 1 order: 1,160 calories, 71g fat, 3,400mg sodium, 103g carbs, 16g fiber, sugars n.a., 33g protein One would think a meatless burger would be the best of the burger bunch. No such luck. This bean-patty offering has more calories than the Cheeseburger and just as much fat!
PICK IT! Balsamic-Glazed Chicken Caesar Salad 1 salad: 490 calories, 26g fat, 1,960mg sodium, 25g carbs, 5g fiber, sugars n.a., 40g protein The salads on this menu can be downright scary (see the next item in this email for proof). However, this is a totally reasonable option. To slim down the fat count, swap the Caesar Vinaigrette for the Low-Fat Balsamic. Even better! SKIP IT! Chipotle Yucatan Chicken Salad 1 salad: 850 calories, 59g fat, 1,950mg sodium, 46g carbs, 10g fiber, sugars n.a., 38g protein Way to put the YUCK in Yucatan. We expect numbers like these from fried-chicken salads, but not a roasted-chicken selection. Avocado, multiple cheeses, tostadas, a fatty dressing, and a creamy topping are the culprits. So not worth it...
PICK IT! Jack Daniel's Chicken & Shrimp (without sides) 1 entrée without sides: 570 calories, 11g fat, 2,630mg sodium, 77g carbs, 3g fiber, sugars n.a., 44g protein Craving that sweet Jack Daniel's sauce? It's not off-limits! Here's a great way to get it. Just be smart about the sides. Steak fries and mashed potatoes would sink this ship FAST. And yes, we KNOW the sodium is very high, but it's nothing compared to the next meal on this list... SKIP IT! Jack Daniel's Ribs & Shrimp (without sides) 1 entrée without sides: 1,770 calories, 80g fat, 4,220mg sodium, 176g carbs, 6g fiber, sugars n.a., 89g protein What a difference a protein makes! Lean shrimp can't save this calorie catastrophe. We're too afraid to even begin calculating the stats with the addition of side dishes. Skip it, skip it, skip it!
The Good: Broccoli: 50 calories, 0.5g fat Tomato Mozzarella Salad: 90 calories, 6g fat Fresh Vegetable Medley: 110 calories, 9g fat Ginger-Lime Slaw: 120 calories, 10g fat The Bad & The Ugly: Mashed Potatoes: 210 calories, 10g fat Seasoned Fries: 290 calories, 22g fat Sweet Potato Fries: 390 calories, 20g fat Jasmine Rice Pilaf: 420 calories, 11g fat Parmesan Steak Fries: 660 calories, 49g fat

text: The Staggers 6 March 2013 PMQs review: Cameron's "spare room subsidy" won't beat the "bedroom tax" The PM has left it too late to reframe the debate over the welfare cut, not least with a phrase as clunky as his. Sign UpGet the New Statesman's Morning Call email. Sign-up Bankers' bonuses may be even less popular with the public than the EU, so the Tories' decision to oppose Brussels's cap on bonuses was a political gift that Ed Miliband readily seized on at today's PMQs. The Labour leader began amusingly by asking David Cameron how he would help "John in East London", who earns £1m and is worried that his bonus may be capped at £2m. Cameron replied that bonuses were now a quarter of what they were under Labour and that he wouldn't listen to "the croupier in the casino when it all went bust". It was a strong reply - voters still blame the last Labour government for the cuts, rather than the coalition - but, politically speaking, it is hard for Cameron to reconcile this with his opposition to further curbs on bonuses. Miliband went on to contrast the PM's stance on bonuses, with his introduction of the "bedroom tax". At this point, Cameron declared that before moving on to the "spare room subsidy" (the PM's preferred term), he wanted Miliband to apologise for the "mess he left the country in". When Cameron deploys this tactic, Miliband usually replies that "it's called Prime Minister's Questions, I ask the questions, he answers them". But this week the Labour leader had prepared a wittier than ususal riposte. "It's good to see him preparing for opposition," he joked, adding that he was "looking forward" to facing Theresa May, whose leadership ambitions are the subject of growing speculation. At this quip, the Home Secretary shot Milband a look of thunder. Much of the rest of the session was taken up by the "bedroom tax", with Cameron accusing Labour of scaremongering over the policy. Referring all the time to the "spare room subsidy", the PM said that pensioners and those with severely disabled children were "exempt" from the subsidy. Except they're not; they will receive the subsidy. In his determination not to use "bedroom tax", the PM ended up misdescribing his own policy. Cameron isn't wrong to recognise the importance of "framing" the debate but after weeks in which the "bedroom tax" has become the media's phrase of choice, he has left it too late to do so. Just as the "poll tax" triumphed over the "community charge", so the "bedroom tax" will triumph over the (clunky) "spare room subsidy". But the PM was on stronger ground when he revealed that Labour had opposed £83bn of welfare cuts. The perception that the party is incapable of taking tough decisions and would simply "borrow more" is one that Cameron is rightly keen to encourage. And with Ed Balls and Ed Miliband unwilling to argue explicitly for deficit-financed stimulus, the charge that they are concealing their true intentions could gain ground. › You'll Never Live Like Common People David Cameron outside 10 Downing Street.

KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghanistan's president warned on Tuesday that all efforts at peace talks with the Taliban should go through the government, and appealed on the country's powerbrokers not to engage in such negotiations if the authorities are sidelines.
Hamid Karzai insisted the government - and not foreign powers - must lead the talks if the country is to have any hope of emerging from a decade of fighting as a strong and unified nation.
He said some Afghan powerbrokers and prominent political figures had been approached by foreign powers to hold talks through side channels, rather than working through the High Peace Council set up by the Afghan government.
"All our politicians must know that the peace process will only have a good result if we are unified and the process goes forward and the process will go forward through the High Peace Council," Karzai said.
The president said participating in talks with the Taliban without the government would weaken the country and urged all to refuse those offers.
Bombings and fighting have continued to rock the country as officials make the slow steps toward peace negotiations.
In the latest violence, gunmen on Tuesday shot and killed Mushtaq Sadat, the head of a district government in the eastern Kapisa province. Qais Qaderi, a spokesman for the provincial government, said Sadat was shot in front of his house as he walked out to pray at the neighborhood mosque.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the assassination in a text message to The Associated Press.
The Afghan peace process has made little headway since it began several years ago and has been hobbled by distrust between the Afghan government and the United States. Karzai has repeatedly decried foreign, and specifically American, efforts to jumpstart the talks while keeping the Afghan government in the dark.
On Tuesday, Karzai upbraided his Western allies for trying to undermine what he said had to be an Afghan process.
Though he referred mostly to the interference of "foreigners" in general, Karzai at one point directly targeted the United States, which is in the process of negotiating terms for its long-term presence in the country.
"We told American government during our recent visit that no foreigners should try to hold the Afghan peace process in their hands," Karzai said.
Since U.S.-backed talks broke down last March in a dispute over the release of five Taliban detainees held in American custody at a military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the High Peace Council has tried to take a greater role.
The Taliban, meanwhile, have established a presence in Qatar and the council says they are hoping to be involved in talks with those in the Doha office.
"I want to call on the Taliban and our politicians not to let the foreigners cheat them. Peace is only possible from one source: the High Peace Council, which includes all Afghans, all parties," Karzai said.
Karzai spoke Tuesday at a conference about water management, where he first talked about the need for clean water systems and then broke off to address what he described as a "very important issue" - the varied attempts at peace talks with the Taliban.

PORTLAND TIMBERS vs COLORADO RAPIDS
PROVIDENCE PARK, Portland, Ore.
July 18, 2014 (WEEK 19, MLS Game #172)
9 p.m. MT (NBCSN, live stream on NBCSports.com)
The Colorado Rapids are on the road for a second successive game, this time at Western Conference rivals Portland Timbers on Friday evening at Providence Park in front of an NBC Sports Network audience. The Timbers are back in the Rose City following a 2-0 loss at their arch-rival Seattle Sounders that stretched Portland's winless run to four games. The Rapids are unbeaten in three games following a wild 3-3 draw at the Philadelphia Union last weekend.
REFEREE: Ismail Elfath. AR1 (bench): Frank Anderson; AR2 (opposite): Corey Rockwell; 4th: Ted Unkel

FUTURE MATCH: 9/13: Colorado Rapids vs. Portland Timbers, 7 p.m. MT
3/22: COL 2, POR 0 (Sánchez 73; Brown 75)
- The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Vicente Sánchez converted a penalty kick and Deshorn Brown knocked home a rebound from a saved penalty just two minutes apart late in the second half when the Rapids took a 2-0 victory March 22 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
- The Rapids haven't scored a goal in Portland on their last three visits, since a 1-0 win in 2011 in their first-ever game in the Rose City. The Timbers have won their last three home games in the series.
- The Rapids have never lost at home to Portland. They have won four of the five encounters all-time in Commerce City following the win this season.
- Coaches' records: Caleb Porter vs. COL: P4 W2 L1 D1 … Pablo Mastroeni vs. POR: P1 W1 L0 D0
- The Rapids took the lead midway through the second half. A ball played over the top ball from Dillon Powers drew Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts off his line, and after he caught Deshorn Brown with his tackle in the area, he was shown a red card. Vicente Sánchez coolly converted for his second penalty-kick goal in the 73rd minute.
- Barely a minute later, substitute goalkeeper Andrew Weber clipped Sánchez in the area as he raced onto another Powers feed, and referee Mark Geiger again pointed to the spot. Deshorn Brown took the resulting penalty kick and saw it blocked by Weber, but Brown was able to bang in the rebound.
- Rapids midfielder José Mari saw a second yellow in the 90th minute, evening the sides at 10 men apiece, but Portland was unable to work its way back into the match.
- COLORADO RAPIDS (4-2-3-1): John Berner - Shane O'Neill, Marvell Wynne, Drew Moor, Marc Burch - Jose Mari (ejected 90), Nick LaBrocca - Deshorn Brown, Dillon Powers (Kamani Hill 86), Vicente Sánchez (Marvin Chavez 80) - Edson Buddle (Gabriel Torres 79).
- PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-1-2-3): Donovan Ricketts (ejected 71) - Jack Jewsbury (Alvas Powell 79), Pa Modou Kah, Mamadou Danso, Michael Harrington - Diego Chara - Will Johnson, Diego Valeri - Darlington Nagbe, Gaston Fernandez, Steve Zakuani (Maximiliano Urruti 65).
The Portland Timbers saw their winless streak stretched to four games, falling 2-0 to the Seattle Sounders on Sunday evening at CenturyLink Field. The Timbers are in eighth place in the Western Conference with 21 points from 19 games.
- The Sounders finally made a breakthrough in the 74th minute. Following a free kick, Clint Dempsey's initial attempt was blocked by goakeeper Donovan Ricketts and bounced to Obafemi Martins, who was denied by Ricketts again. But Gonzalo Pineda drove the rebound back through the box toward the back post, where Dempsey turned the ball into the roof of the net from inside the six-yard box.
- The home side put in the dagger in the 87th minute. Martins freed Lamar Neagle on a quick break on the left, and Neagle rolled a cross into the area for Marco Pappa, who fired a shot past a fallen Ricketts.
- Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made two changes to the team that drew 2-2 with the LA Galaxy at StubHub Center. Jack Jewsbury started in midfield in place of the suspended Diego Chara, and Steve Zakuani came into the team for Gaston Fernandez.
- PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-1-2-3): Donovan Ricketts - Michael Harrington (Kalif Alhassan 83), Danny O'Rourke, Rauwshan McKenzie, Jorge Villafana - Jack Jewsbury - Diego Valeri (Gaston Fernandez 74), Will Johnson - Darlington Nagbe, Fanendo Adi, Steve Zakuani (Rodney Wallace 63).
- The Timbers saw their overall winless streak extended to four matches, the club's longest since starting the season without a win in their opening eight games.
- "This is a game where if we would've gotten three points, it would've helped, but there are more important games ahead – the swing playoff teams. Those potential six-point swings against teams around us are more important than this game, although it would've been nice to get a point or more, but we've got to move on," said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. "Right now recovery is key. We had a very long week and gave a lot physically and emotionally, but have to recover and get back to work and get ready for Colorado. That game is going to be very critical."
- The Timbers also return home looking to overturn a five-game winless run at Providence Park – one short of the club's MLS record set during the 2011 season. The Timbers have just one home win this season, tied for fewest in MLS (along with Philadelphia and Chicago).
- "The seven home games (remaining), in particular, are crucial. The non-conference games you can gamble a little bit. You want to go for three (points) in those," said Porter. "But the pivotal games are the games against the Colorado's, the Vancouver's, the Dallas', the San Jose's, the Chivas's – those are the games where you can't give up points and we need to make up ground."
- The Timbers were also shut out for a second time in the last three matches, their first attacking shutouts in more than two months.
- "We know what we need to do and we've got plenty of games to do it. We've seen the table and it's a bit like Pulp Fiction – everybody is killing everybody – so I'm not sure what the line is going to be with regards to the points that get you in," said Porter. "You can't worry about that – you just have to focus on every game trying to get three points, and if you don't, try and get the next one. We can still get to a very high target with the amount of games we have left, if you do the math. Win eight or nine games, we're right there."
- With Diego Chará suspended, Jack Jewsbury made his first MLS start since June 7, coming into a deep-lying central midfield role.
- "We did a lot of things well, especially in the first half, but ultimately we wore down in the second half. Those 120 minutes on our guys' legs [in the Open Cup match] really caught up with us, and with the injuries we had on the back line, we couldn't rotate, and you could see that a little bit,"said Porter. "... We don't have depth, we couldn't rotate and we played a lot of guys who'd played 120 minutes (on Wednesday) and that caught up with us against a very good team - a team with good attackers."
- Steve Zakuani returned to the starting lineup following a two-match absence, starting in a wide role and playing 63 minutes.
- "I think we actually were the better team for the first part of the first half. It's not easy to come in here and do that in this environment, but we did. Again, it's a game where we just take the game for what it is," said Zakuani. "We lost to a better team on the night, in the end, and we have to regroup for the game on Friday and also remember that at this point, it's about getting into the playoffs and we can still do that. We have to hold on to that hope."
The Colorado Rapids made it three consecutive matches without defeat, coming back late for a 3-3 draw with the Philadelphia Union on Saturday evening at PPL Park. The Rapids are tied for third place in the Western Conference with 27 points from 18 games.
- The teams exchanged goals in a two-minute span to open the scoring. In the 16th minute, Union fullback Ray Gaddis picked out Conor Casey with a perfect cross to turn home, but Dillon Serna made two cuts to the inside then beat Union goalkeeper Zac MacMath with a low, driven shot just inside the post for the Rapids' equalizer.
- The Union then opened up a two-goal advantage. Sheanon Williams sent a glancing header off a Cristian Maidana corner kick beyond Clint Irwin in the 31st minute, before Andrew Wenger put the Union 3-1 up in the 74th minute, tapping in through traffic after Amobi Okugo snuck a cross through the box.
- But the match changed dramatically when Michael Lahoud was controversially shown a red card after a high challenge, and Dillon Powers converted the resulting penalty kick in the 79th minute.
- Deshorn Brown capped the comeback seven minutes later with a terrific turn on a Gabriel Torres pass and a rocket just inside the post. Amobi Okugo was shown a straight red by referee Sorin Stoica while walking off the field after the final whistle.
- Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni made two changes to the team that reached a 1-1 draw with the Columbus Crew at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Marc Burch came in at left back in place of Chris Klute, and Dillon Serna entered the side in place of Vicente Sánchez.
- COLORADO RAPIDS (4-2-3-1): Clint Irwin - Marvell Wynne, Shane O'Neill, Drew Moor, Marc Burch – Nick LaBrocca, Jared Watts (Marlon Hairston 78) – Kamani Hill (Carlos Alvarez 65), Dillon Powers, Dillon Serna (Gabriel Torres 83) – Deshorn Brown.
- The Rapids have converted seven of eight penalty kicks this season, and scored goals from each spot kick (one goal came from a rebound from a saved penalty). The MLS record for penalty kick goals in a season is nine, set four times previously, last by the Montréal Impact in 2012.
- "I think overall the most important thing is the character that the guys showed to come back," Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni said. "That's the overwhelming feeling I've got from this game. Obviously, we have a long ways to go … but the ability and the mindset to overcome all of those things and find your way into a result is tremendous for this team moving forward."
- Dillon Powers had a goal and an assist in the same game for the fourth time in 46 career MLS matches in the draw with Philadelphia. It was the third time this season he had been involved in two goals in the same match.
- "I think that the guys in the midfield did a good job of getting him the ball in Powers and Nicky [LaBrocca]. The guys that came on the field should be attributed and did a tremendous job of making an impact and we're definitely catalysts for the game," Mastroeni said.
- Gabriel Torres made just his second substitute appearance in the last nine matches, totaling just nine minutes overall, and contributed his first assist of the season.
- "I think it's a really tight group and we've had a ton of games so it's about how to get the guys the field to contribute and I think Gaby did a great job," said Mastroeni. "He was focused and unlocked their defense with a couple of good passes, I think it's a good confidence builder for Gaby. So we'll sit down and look at our options moving forward but I'm really happy for him to come in and contribute the way he did."
- Deshorn Brown scored his sixth goal of the season, his first in four matches this season. He has 16 goals in 48 league matches in his two seasons in MLS.
- "I think that Deshorn is one of the more dangerous forwards in the league, you're going to have moments where things aren't going your way," said Mastroeni. "But the mindset to be able to make good on one opportunity and really make a difference in the game says a lot about who he is as a person, he doesn't give up, he keeps working hard and that's the mentality that I think all the guys who stepped on the field had."
- Carlos Alvarez made his Rapids debut after his acquisition from Chivas USA, coming off the substitutes' bench for the final 25 minutes.
- "I think he did a good job of coming in and finding the game. It's tough to come into that kind of game where it's heated and feisty, he found a way to get the ball and slow it down. He really made some good passes and was a threat going forward," said Mastroeni. "So I think Carlos did a great job, I think Gaby did a great job, and I think Marlon coming in up front and really getting forward also did a really nice job."
- The Rapids will be without center back Shane O'Neill for the Portland match after he was given a one-match ban in a ruling by the MLS Disciplinary Committee. Nick LaBrocca is also absent (yellow card accumulation), while Vicente Sánchez completes his two-game ban.
- "I think that set pieces should be the easiest thing to defend, because the ball is static when you're defending it, so that's a concentration issue," Mastroeni said. "I think what we're discovering is that we are our most dangerous opponents when we have the ball. When we have good possession and we're pushing teams back, we can't be loose with our touches, [because] everyone is going to be pulled out of position. So like I said, it's a bit naïve from us, and it's going to be a part of our development, and we have to get better at it."

Disney's Anthony Accardo: The Tech Community Owes Content Creators A Living
from the wronger-than-wrongy-mcwrongson-from-wrongville deptAnthony Accardo, a senior research analyst (or "Imagineer") for the Disney Corporation, recently posted an article in response to another HBR writer's earlier post arguing that Big Content is stifling innovation. With wording that eerily echoes U2 manager Paul McGuinness' handout plea of a few weeks ago, Accardo posits that the stifling of creativity is actually due to recalcitrant techies and their unwillingness to craft a better world for content producers.
There's a whole lot of suppositions in Accardo's 800-word piece, most of which range from "wrong" to "laughable." Accardo leads in to his point-by-point dismantling with this presumptuous sentence:
"While I agree that content owners need to be much more open to embracing technology and innovation, I can't help but point out some fundamental issues emanating from the tech community and 'copyleft' that obfuscate the real issues of copyright, digital monetization, and technology."
Well, now that one side of the argument has been marginalized as "obfuscation," we can go on to have a balanced discussion. Issue #1? Patents vs. copyright. And the techies are on the wrong side of this as well:
"A bias toward respecting the rights of patents over copyright exists in tech culture, and copyleft has sprung out of this."
Really? As a proud member of what I assume is the "copyleft" movement (i.e., anyone who isn't a member of Big Content?), I think I can safely say that we have as little respect for overzealous patent holders as we do for overzealous copyright holders.
Next, Accardo goes after our "bias":
"One feels a little like Jon Stewart watching Fox News when reading a public statement by Lawrence Lessig or a post on Torrentfreak.com. The villain, Big Content, is always trying to take away our freedom and privacy by preventing us from enjoying Lady Gaga's newest album."
I'm going to let that one ride (inlcuding the assumption that we equate freedom and privacy with Lady Gaga) because he tops it two sentences later:
"Big Content uses its limited power and influence to look out for the little guy's rights as well."
As an employee of the Disney corporation, I'm amazed he could type this with a straight face, much less allow it to be published unaltered. Even the most maximalist of copyright holders would have trouble with that sentence.
"Limited power?"
If being able to leverage the US government to alter other nations' copyright laws is "limited," I'd really hate to see what damage Big Content would do if they were bumped up to "adequate." Is having the power to shut down entire domain name servers too "limiting?" How about warrantless searches?
"Look out for the little guy?"
Since when? Since being shamed into coughing up a fractional percentage of the Limewire settlement? Did we get it all wrong and the midnight move from "artist" to "work for hire" actually make things better for your average musician, freeing them from the massive responsibility of owning their own recordings? Is opaque accounting a fringe benefit for artists under contract?
Honestly, Accardo should have ended it there. He can't possibly top that obtuse declaration. What he does instead is lay the blame for Big Content's failures at the feet of actual innovators:
"Imagine if the tech giants used their powers of innovation to better detect and control online copyright infringement rather than the bare minimum steps companies such as Google take - omitting an app from the Android market or omitting a few search terms? If they helped take the head out of the bell curve of piracy with some creative innovation, we'd be seeing licenses thrown around to the Googles and the Spotifys of the world."
Yeah! Imagine if! Imagine if the tech companies went ahead and did all your work for you! The only thing they've given you so far is every tool imaginable to create, promote and sell your digital product.
You use their innovations daily and yet you still have the audacity to blame them for not stopping piracy. Tech knows piracy can't be stopped and has moved on. It's only the holdouts from Big Content that are still thinking they can cut every head off with enough legislative pressure and the hell with the First and Fourth Amendments. Those are inefficiencies from a bygone age. Big Content has too many inefficiencies of its own to worry about.
And as for your precious "licenses"? Who wants 'em? Do you think these tech companies are dying for the chance to pay ever-increasing fees and get double or triple-dipped for every audio or video stream?
If you're finding tech leery of helping you, perhaps it's because you never stop taking. You want them to police the internet for you (along with the ISPs), push your products, crawl your news, find you new revenue streams and create new formats. And in exchange they'll get thrown under the legislative/judicial bus every chance you get. No wonder the techs have turned their back on you. They've already seen how you've treated your own content creators for decades and now have to attempt to innovate while warily watching you blunder around in search of a soft target.
The innovators of the world owe you nothing.

Mark Stephens, New Bern�s public works director, was named interim city manager Tuesday night to fill the void when Mike Epperson leaves at the end of the month.
Mark Stephens, New Bern�s public works director, was named interim city manager Tuesday night to fill the void when Mike Epperson leaves at the end of the month.
Stephens� interim city manager position is effective Dec. 31
The new Board of Aldermen announced Stephens� selection after a closed session.
Stephens, 37, will be going into the position at a hectic time, as the city works on its annual budget and aldermen search for a new city manager.
Although Stephens said the position will be a big responsibility, he has prepared himself to step into the position.
Stephens, who is from Hickory, earned a bachelor�s degree in engineering technology from UNC Charlotte and a master�s degree in public administration from Appalachian State University. Before coming to New Bern, he worked at an assistant public works director in Statesville. He has been public works director in New Bern for nearly three years.
�I think this is an exciting opportunity,� Stephens said. �I�m honored to be considered for that position for a town of this size. It made me feel good that the board has trust and confidence in me.�
Mayor Dana Outlaw said the Board of Aldermen wanted to quickly get an interim city manager who knew the city well to fill in when Epperson leaves.
�I think everybody is real familiar with Mark,� Outlaw said. �He certainly is capable and professional. I think he is well qualified and he has demonstrated his willingness to step up to the plate on many issues. New Bern can be comforted with Mark taking on the interim position. We (the Board of Aldermen) felt comfortable with him in that position. With his age, this is an excellent opportunity for him.�
Sonya Hayes, director of human resource for the city, said during the interim period Stephens will earn an annual salary of $132,471, which is 23 percent more than his present salary as public works director.

The Oregon Ducks' 30-7 trouncing of Texas in the Alamo Bowl tonight was no real surprise, given that Vegas pegged the Longhorns as two-touchdown dogs, and that Marcus Mariota is back, iffy knee and all. Mariota finished 18 of 26 for 253 yards and 133 yards rushing, his best overall game since before UCLA injured him in the Ducks' eighth game.
Oregon lost two of four after that game against the Bruins. After rushing for 493 yards on 49 carries in the first seven games, he closed with 89 yards on 32 carries in the final five games. The head injury in an ugly loss to Arizona was the capper. He went from Heisman favorite to falling out of the top 10 in the vote. A lonely nation turned its eyes toward the icky spectacle of Jameis Winston. Super Mario led his 10th-ranked team into Mack Brown's retirement party in San Antonio with nothing on the line except Duck face.
Two pick-sixes won't get enough credit for the final margin; for all the merits of the perfectly solid Oregon D (24th nationally in points allowed this season) it generally doesn't need to make more than a couple of stops a game if the offense is managing even a B-plus outing. Shutting out the Longhorns in the second half was a feat, but it doesn't bode as well for the Ducks' 2014 as the game Mariota put up. The sophomore rushed for 132 yards in the first half, on 12 carries. With the defense harassing the Longhorns QBs into a 9-for-23 evening, Mariota ran just three times for a yard in the second half.
He said after the game it was nothing more than rust: "I'm out of shape. I haven't been running around like this in a long time. I started to cramp a little bit." In any case, why drive him any harder than absolutely necessary? Mariota has already said he's foregoing the 2014 draft. There's every reason to think the Ducks could've run the table this season if he'd been at full speed the whole year. Alternate-universe Oregon would be getting ready to play Florida State for the national title — and in the first season after Big Balls Chip absconded to sculpt a poor man's Peyton out of something called Nick Foles. With a healthy Mariota, this is still an Oregon world we're all living in.
Texas, meanwhile, finished the season 8-5 and certifiably sucks for playing garbagey football, in addition to sucking by being Texas.
