Michael Savage Loses Major Sponsor, CAIR Pushes Boycott
Firms Avoid Controversy, Not Liberal Views
One year ago, the liberal blogosphere and their mainstream media fellow- travellers were in an uproar over a supposedly "leaked" ABC Radio memo revealing a list of companies that had blocked themselves from advertising on Air America Radio.
And even when some of us tried to cut through the partisan hysteria and reason with our "progressive" friends, they wouldn't listen.
Instead, they cooked up additional ways to rationalize their conspiracy theory, rather than face the fact that these very firms also avoid conservative programming.
From the Huffington Post in November 2006, here's a great example:
This week we learned that some 90 major corporations demanded that their ads be pulled from radio stations that run Air America programming, demonstrating the fundamental challenge facing everyone working to promote critical journalism and a vibrant free press.
First off, let's clarify why this is taking place: The crime isn't that Air America is partisan. All or most of these firms advertise on politically conservative talk radio programs and/or stations. And the crime isn't even being "liberal." Some of these advertisers have moderate or liberal executives who donate to Democratic candidates and are far from rabid conservatives.
So what is the problem? While "liberal" Air America clearly favors big D Democrats, unlike virtually all other programming on commercial radio and television, it gives airtime to reports that are critical of corporations and the powerful politicians they keep in Washington.
This is the heart of the problem: Air America commits a crime called journalism. Almost none of the so-called conservative radio shows or networks do any semblance of actual reporting. They merely pontificate -- repeating talking points that seem to be emailed straight from Karl Rove's laptop.
Air America does its share of pontificating as well, and we leave it to others to compare its integrity to that of Limbaugh and Hannity. But we can say that Air America journalism occasionally focuses on corporate malfeasance. It examines closely the deeply corrupt relationship between corporate power and government officials.
Eventually, the flap died down, but "progressives" milked it for months to show how the deck was supposedly stacked against them. And yet, they had never been more off- base.
Now, the shoe is on the other foot, but don't expect our lefty friends to cry foul this time. Citing the host's inflammatory rhetoric, a major Michael Savage Show sponsor has pulled its support. The real story here is that a boycott effort led by CAIR's Islamic extremists is beginning to pay off.
From AdWeek:
Citrix Pulls Spots From 'Savage Nation'
November 13, 2007
By Steve McClellan
NEW YORK Software maker Citrix Systems has pulled its ad support for syndicated radio talk show Savage Nation, the advertiser has confirmed.
The decision was implemented on Nov. 5 and came within a week of inflammatory comments that the show's host Michael Savage made about the Islamic religion. On his Oct. 29 broadcast, Savage said that he didn't "wanna hear anymore about Islam. I don't wanna hear one more word about Islam. Take your religion and shove it up your behind. I'm sick of you."
The comments prompted the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations to reach out to sponsors of the Savage broadcast and urge them to boycott the show.
In addition, CAIR's fringe activists believe they have convinced at least three other advertisers to dump his program:
A representative for the Council on American-Islamic Relations said that three other sponsors had agreed to pull ads, although he could not immediately supply their identities. "We call on all the other companies running ads on [Savage's] program nationwide to withdraw," the group said in a statement.
Funny enough, these particular comments are on the tame side for Savage, who regularly roasts Islamic extremists on his show.
For Citrix and other talk radio sponsors, however, the bigger question ought to be this: even if Savage is too extreme, is it any more appropriate to play into CAIR's censorship campaign? Does Citrix support its brand of fringe Islamofascism?
Beyond that, your Radio Equalizer suspects that very few advertisers directly support Savage's program to any great extent.
So how does he survive? Simple: he generates big ratings for stations at night, which boosts their overall standings, leading to higher ad rates in other dayparts. Nobody picks up his show expecting sponsors lined up to buy spots.
In the end, the main point is this: advertiser blacklists cut both ways in talk radio. There never was a conspiracy to kill off Air America and the motives behind the Savage boycott campaign are also clear.
Most companies avoid sponsoring controversial programming. That means it's up to the sales department to educate sponsors on the benefits of embracing talk radio's loyal audience.
Just ask those who have taken the plunge and joined Rush Limbaugh's show. Could they possibly be happier with the results?

GALLERY | Your first look inside The Park Theater at Monte Carlo
LAS VEGAS (KSNV News3LV) —
RELATED | New 5,000 seat theater coming to Strip on Monte Carlo property
A new theater on the Strip is aiming to give customers an arena like feel in a smaller space.
The Park Theater inside of the Monte Carlo is set to open on Saturday, December 17.
RELATED | New 5,000 seat theater coming to Strip on Monte Carlo property
The $90-million-dollar project seats 5,200 people and features modern technology like an 80 x 40 foot LED wall with 5.2. millimeter - 4K resolution to create an immersive audio-visual experience.
The venue compliments the recently opened T-Mobile Arena, Toshiba Plaza, and The Park. Rather than competing for guests, The Park Theater and T-Mobile actually have the capability to work together on shows.
One representative tells us, that a fiber connectivity from The Park Theater to the T-Mobile Arena will allow them to work together for events like televised award shows.
"Say for example, the Billboard Music Awards come back here and they want to do something with this as a B-stage or we want to do something in connection with T-Mobile; we have the ability of connection via fiber to coordinate both of those events," said Steve Pelletier, Director of Event Production of The Park Theater.
Acts like Stevie Nicks, Bruno Mars, and Kat Williams are already set to perform at The Park Theater. Representatives say the possibility of hosting other events like UFC matches and traveling performances is currently being discussed.
Doors will officially open to the public next Saturday on December 17, where Stevie Nicks will take the stage to kick off its performance season.

|Jimmie Johnson is 20/1 to win at Michigan.
First, I would like to thank Lowe's for allowing us to run the Jimmie Johnson Foundation paint scheme. Also, an honor to highlight these five charities making a huge impact on K-12 public education across the country on my Blue Bunny Helmet of Hope. I'm thankful to my competitors who chose to wear the Team JJF visor strips and bring more visibility to our cause. We have had great success with the JJF Chevy in the past and hope to turn things around this weekend in Michigan.
HELMET OF HOPE: This weekend at Michigan International Speedway, Jimmie Johnson will wear the Blue Bunny Helmet of Hope, which features five charities working to improve K-12 public education. As a show of support to Johnson's efforts to raise funds for such programs, a number of his NASCAR Cup Series competitors will display Jimmie Johnson Foundation-branded decals on the visors of their helmets. Featured on the helmet are the following winning charitable initiatives: Art Feeds in Fayetteville, Arkansas; Edu-Futuro in Arlington, Virginia; Mary J. Treglia Community House in Sioux City, Iowa; School on Wheels of Massachusetts in East Bridgewater, Massachusetts; and The Kids' Reading Room in Houston.
JIMMIE JOHNSON FOUNDATION PAINT OUT: In addition to the Helmet of Hope, Johnson's No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet will feature the special star logos of the Jimmie Johnson Foundation. Johnson has seen plenty of success running the paint scheme, earning three wins, two top-five finishes and three top-10s. Along with the Blue Bunny Helmet of Hope program, the foundation operates the Champions Grant program – providing cash grants to schools in the Johnsons' hometowns and where they currently live – Team Up For Technology, a $48,000 technology makeover open to schools nationwide, and the Jimmie Johnson Foundation Fit Fest – a family friendly, event in Charlotte, North Carolina, which features running, mountain biking, obstacle racing, music, food and more.
DRIVER RATING AT MICHIGAN: According to NASCAR's loop data statistics, Johnson has the fourth-best driver rating at Michigan with an average score of 99.1 since 2005. The driver rating is a formula that combines wins, top-15 finishes, average running position while on the lead lap, average speed under green, fastest lap, most laps led and lead-lap finishes. The maximum a driver can earn in each race is 150 points and is used pre-race as a prediction tool and post-race as a performance evaluator.
CALLING ALL KIDS TO CHICAGO: Johnson is hosting a special ticket package for families at Chicagoland Speedway on Sept. 17. Johnson, Chicagoland and NASA have teamed up for the third consecutive year for a special ticket package that features a youth question-and-answer session. The pricing is $23 for kids 12 and under and $48 for adults. Log on to www.ChicagolandSpeedway.com for more info.

Alexis turned 4 months old yesterday. She is a happy, smiley girl who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to squeal until she gets it. She rolled over once. She hates to be on her tummy. She loves to pull my hair and have a fist full of hair in each hand (she would definitely cry if I got my hair cut). Alexis LOVES her Daddy. She can be in the crankiest mood and as soon as her Daddy talks to her, she is all smiles and happy chatter. She is really starting to take an interest in watching her big brother and what he is up to, so now she should never be bored ever again.
Her legs and arms are always moving and she must always be sitting straight up unless she is being rocked. She has slept through the night the last 3 nights (woohoo!!!).
We have her 4 month appointment this week so I don't have her stats yet, maybe I will post them later this week. (But, come on, this is my SECOND post of the day, what is the likelihood I will post 3 times in one week! Ha..no really I will try.)

DOWNEY — The blond Downey High School student could scarcely believe her magenta-shadowed eyes.
As she glanced out her classroom door she saw police officers jogging by, in pursuit of a German shepherd that was sniffing at student lockers.
"Get back in class," ordered Vice Principal Gary Ratzke, as he put his walkie-talkie to his ear.
It was 8 a.m. Friday, and at Downey High School and Warren High School, police and school officials were staging the first-ever drug raids in the history of the Downey Unified School District.
Blue Thunder, the narcotic-sniffing police dog, made several passes in front of the lockers before he stopped by one in particular. The dog looked quizzically at his handler, Sgt. H. C. (Jake) Jahelka of the Sheriff's Department.

CSC474 Lab
After the lab exercises, the students should be able to use NMAP in command line to scan a host/network, so to find out the possible vulnerable points in the hosts. You will be required to try out all the NMAP commands on the sniffer (labeled R) host that belongs to your assigned pod. You should be using the KVM (the box with numbers 1, 2, 3 & 4 marked and a green light on a number indicates the current display) for switching between H1, H2 and R displays.
In order to crack into a computer system, an attacker has to find a target machine, and then find out what ports the machine is listening on before a system can be compromised. By using scanners such as Nmap, the attacker are able to sweep networks and look for vulnerable targets. Once these targets are identified, an intruder is able to scan for listening ports. Nmap can also use TCP stack fingerprinting to accurately determine the type of machine being scanned.
Nmap can be downloaded free of charge from http://www.insecure.org/nmap. There are a few graphical front ends; however, our lab exercise will focus on using Nmap in the command-line.
H1, H2, and H3 are three workstations which are connected by the router "R". All the exercises on Nmap should be done on the router. Students will be given the root privilege to finish all the questions in section 6.
The usage syntax of Nmap is fairly simple. Options to 'nmap' on the command-line are different types of scans that are specified with the -s flag. A ping scan, for example, is "-sP". Options are then specified, followed by the hosts or networks to be targeted. Nmap's functionality is greatly increased when run as root, because nonsuper-users don't have the ability to create the custom packets that Nmap utilizes. In our exercise, the students are given the root privilege.
Nmap is very flexible in specifying targets. Simply scan one host or scan entire networks by pointing Nmap to the network address with a "/mask" appended to it. In addition, Nmap will allow you to specify networks with wild cards, such as 10.6.1.*, which is the same as 10.6.1.0/24.
Intruders are able to sweep entire networks by looking for targets with Nmap. This is usually done with a ping scan by using the "-sP" flag. By default, Nmap will send an ICMP echo and a TCP ACK to each host it scans. Hosts that respond to either will be considered by Nmap to be up. In this example, scan all hosts on the 10.0.0.0 network.
# nmap -sP 10.0.0.0/24
Starting nmap V. 2.12 by Fyodor (firstname.lastname@example.com, www.insecure.org/nmap/)
Nmap run completed -- 256 IP addresses (3 hosts up) scanned in 1 second
Sometimes you may merely want to check the availability of a system without sending ICMP echo requests, which may be blocked by some sites. In this case, a TCP "ping" sweep can be used to scan a target's network. A TCP "ping" will send an ACK to each machine on a target network. Machines that are up should respond with a TCP RST. To use the TCP "ping" option with a ping scan, include the "-PT" flag to target a specific port on the network you're probing. In our example, we'll use port 80 (http), which is the default, and it will probably be allowed through the target's border routers and possibly even its firewall. Note that the targeted port does not need to be open on the hosts that are being probed to determine if the machine is up or not. Launch this type of scan as follows:
# nmap -sP -PT80 10.0.0.0/24
TCP probe port is 80
Starting nmap V. 2.12 by Fyodor (firstname.lastname@example.com, www.insecure.org/nmap/)
Nmap run completed -- 256 IP addresses (3 hosts up) scanned in 1 second
When a potential intruder knows which machines on the target's network are alive, typically the next step is port scanning.
Different types of port scans are provided by Nmap: TCP connect, TCP SYN, Stealth FIN, Xmas Tree, and Null, as well as UDP scans.
When an attacker is using TCP connect scans, because Nmap will use the connect() system call to open connections to interesting ports on the target host and complete the 3-way TCP handshake, the probe is easily detected by the target host. Logs on the host machine will show these ports being opened by the attacker. A TCP connect scan is used with the "-sT" flag as:
# nmap -sT 10.0.0.1
Starting nmap V. 2.12 by Fyodor (firstname.lastname@example.com, www.insecure.org/nmap/)
Interesting ports on (10.0.0.1):
Port State Protocol Service
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 3 seconds
What if an attacker wants to scan a host without being logged on the target machine? TCP SYN scans are less prone to logging on the target's machine, because a full handshake never completes. A SYN scan starts by sending a SYN packet, which is the first packet in TCP negotiation. Any open ports will respond with a SYN|ACK, as they should. However, the attacker sends a RST instead of an ACK, which terminates the connection. The advantage is that the 3-way handshake never completes, and fewer sites will log this type of probe. Ports that are closed will respond to the initial SYN with a RST, allowing Nmap to determine that the host isn't listening on that port. This command might require root privileges, which could be obtained by trying "su -" command at the knoppix prompt. The "-sS" flag will launch a SYN scan against a host or network as:
# nmap -sS 10.0.0.1
Starting nmap V. 2.12 by Fyodor (firstname.lastname@example.com, www.insecure.org/nmap/)
Interesting ports on saturnlink.nac.net (10.0.0.1):
Port State Protocol Service
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1 second
Although SYN scans are more likely to be unnoticed, they can still be detected by some intrusion detection countermeasures. The Stealth FIN, Xmas Tree, and Null scans are used to evade packet filters and firewalls that may be watching for SYN packets directed toward restricted ports. These three scans should return a RST for closed ports, whereas open ports should drop the packet. A FIN "-sF" scan will send a FIN packet to each port, whereas the Xmas Tree scan "-sX" turns on the FIN, URG, and PUSH flags, and a Null Scan "-sN" turns off all flags. Because of Microsoft's incompliance with TCP standards, the FIN, Xmas Tree, and Null scans are only effective on non-Microsoft operating systems.
Using the UDP scan "-sU" an attacker can determine what ports are open to UDP on a host. Nmap will send a 0-byte UDP packet to each port. If the host returns a "port unreachable" message, that port is considered closed. This method can be time consuming because most UNIX hosts limit the rate of ICMP errors. Fortunately, Nmap detects this rate and slows itself down, so not to overflow the target with messages that would have been ignored. Launch a UDP scan as follows:
# nmap -sU 10.0.0.1
WARNING: -sU is now UDP scan -- for TCP FIN scan use -sF
Starting nmap V. 2.12 by Fyodor (firstname.lastname@example.com, www.insecure.org/nmap/)
Interesting ports on saturnlink.nac.net (10.0.0.1):
Port State Protocol Service
53 open udp domain
111 open udp sunrpc
123 open udp ntp
137 open udp netbios-ns
138 open udp netbios-dgm
177 open udp xdmcp
1024 open udp unknown
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2 seconds
Often an intruder may be more familiar with exploits for a particular operating system, and may be looking for machines he's able to compromise easily. A common option is TCP/IP fingerprinting with the "-O" option to determine the remote operating system. This has to be combined with a port scan and not a ping scan. Nmap accomplishes this by sending different types of probes to the host, which will narrow the target operating system. Fingerprinting the TCP stack includes such techniques as FIN probing to see what kind of response the target has, BOGUS flag probing to see the remote host's reaction to undefined flags sent with a SYN packet, TCP Initial Sequence Number (ISN) sampling to find patterns of ISN numbers, as well as other methods of determining the remote operating system.
# nmap -sS -O 10.0.0.1

Remote operating system guess: Solaris 2.6 - 2.7

The TCP Sequence Prediction tells us how difficult TCP sequence number prediction is for the remote host. This is valuable to an attacker looking for hosts that can be vulnerable to session hijacking.
Enter the -oN<textfile name> to create a human readable output file:
#nmap -sT -O -oN sample.txt 10.0.0.0-50
Enter the -oM <textfile name> to pipe the output into a machine parsable file:
#nmap -sT -O -oM sample.txt 10.0.0.0-50
-P0 Do not try to ping hosts at all before scanning them. Since Nmap will ping a target with both TCP "ping" and ICMP echo before attempting a port scan, sites blocking ICMP and TCP probes will not be scanned by default.
"-v" a verbose option that can be used with all types of scans. You can use this flag once, even twice, to get more information about the target's machine.
The ability to target specific ports is accomplished with the "-p " option. For instance, if an attacker wanted to probe your webserver for ftp (port 21), telnet (port 23), name service (port 53), and http (port 80), and wanted to know the OS you were using, he/she may try the SYN scan:
# nmap -sS -p 21,23,53,80 -O -v 10.6.1.10
"-iR" Use this command to instruct nmap to scan random hosts.
For a complete list of the options for Nmap, you can see the manual of the NMAP in website http://www.insecure.org/nmap.

The Web Service plug-in in Eclipse works actually very well, the problem is in my Eclipse 3.5.1 version the plug-in is not updated to understand the updated Axis2 v1.5.1 structure. The rest is working fine for me but when you create a Web Service project you have to make some manually configurations to make it works properly otherwise you will get exception like "Error loading WebappClassLoader" and then later something like java.land.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisAdminServlet.
The work around of this is the following:
1. Create a project which will be the Web Service implementation as usual in Eclipse.
2. In Eclipse Window->Preferences->Web Services->Axis2 Preferences select the runtime location with the latest version:
3. Now create the web service as usual via the Eclipse Wizard:
4.Click next and inside the next window don't forget to select Axis2 as Web service runtime as shown bellow.
5.Now confirm the configuration. On the last screen, the plug-in wants to start the Tomcat or the application server you use and deploys the project automatically. Now when you start the project, you will get one of the error mention above. So what to do next:
1. First open you web.xml file and replace
2. Next step you have to copy manually the libraries provided by Axis2 inside your project WEB-INF/lib folder like shown bellow:
goes to you your project –>
In theory you don't really need to copy all libraries but it takes time to figure the minimum of JAR's you have to copy, so this is much more easier.

Is there a Priceline Master in the House?
I am not a real doctor (PhD). I only have a Master of Science. That is why I work for consumers instead of pocketing the lucrative research paycheck from the hotel industry.
The doctor, Chris K. Anderson, Ph.D., at the Cornell Center for Hospitality Research has come out with a report advising hoteliers how to squeeze more pennies out of our consumer pockets. This time the research is aimed to maximize hotel profits from Priceline.
The report is available for free download upon registration with the center.
Loyalty Traveler has a few comments on the report.
Cornell Report Statistic:
60% of online hotel rooms are booked through hotel-branded websites (I assume this is what is meant by "supplier-managed" websites).
Loyalty Traveler view: Hotels have provided incentive for customer reservations through hotel-managed channels by offering exclusive loyalty program benefits. In other words, Hotel points and frequent guest member perks are only guaranteed when booking through hotel-managed websites. The hotel websites generally offer a better rate , although special offer rates are often hidden from view to the casual online reservationist of a hotel room.
Report Statistic: 40% of online hotel bookings are made through online travel agencies like Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, and Priceline.
Loyalty Traveler View: Expedia and Travelocity and Orbitz are convenient. Priceline and other opaque sites like Hotwire.com generally offer the best discounts on room rates. A traveler has to weigh the factor of cost with the uncertainty of hotel location and brand. A frequent guest member does not earn hotel points and the reservation is likely to be booked in lowest category hotel room on property.
Priceline Bidding data:
A graph shows the number of bids in the two weeks prior to the date of arrival for the sample hotel. Data shows about 50% of all Priceline bids occurred in the 2 days before arrival.
The minimum acceptable Priceline bid for the hotel, within a one week period, ranged from mostly $55/night to $65 per night with one outlier night at $235/night.
An interesting chart is Exhibit 8, which if I have interpreted correctly, indicates that about 1 in 25 Priceline winning bids represented a 90% discount on commonly published rates for the hotel. And about 5% only got a 20% discount on the going room rate.
The vast majority of bid winners receive less than a 50% discount on the regular room rates. About 60% of winning Priceline bids received a 28%-36% discount on the room rate. Technically, the Priceline slogan "Save Up to Half Off" appropriately represents the Priceline reality. The Cornell graph shows about 10% of bidders received between 67% and 90% off the regular room rate.
The last time I used Priceline was for a night in Washington D.C., June 2007. I ended up with the Marriott Key Bridge, Arlington, VA for about $100 and the lowest available room rate through the Marriott site was $329 for that night.
My initial analysis of the Priceline tool provided for hotel managers seems to indicate some trends for consumers.
Consumers may find the most favorable room rates booking Priceline the day before or day of arrival. Booking at 10 to 14 days in advance of arrival may also provide the best opportunity for higher discounts. The Cornell Priceline tool appears to encourage hotels to not discount Priceline inventory rooms as deeply between 2 and 10days before arrival as a means to maximize profits.
An interesting analysis would be to compare the Cornell Priceline data with consumer bidding data from www.biddingfortravel.com to see if there is useful consumer information to be gleamed from the comparison.
Anyone planning to make a hotel bid through Priceline.com or Hotwire.com should check out www.biddingfortravel.com to see what successful bids are pricing out and then try and use that data with the knowledge that 10-14 days before arrival may provide the best opportunity for deep discounts on Priceline. And if you are desperate and lucky, the day before and day of arrival Priceline bids may save you enough cash to buy gas and pay for hotel parking.
The PointsWizard blog on BoardingArea.com had a link to this article detailing strategies for successful Priceline bidding.

"You are eating a dying language from the plate of a ghost."
Dar Al Sulh (Domain of Conciliation) is a supper club with a difference hosted by the artist Michael Rakowitz in collaboration with Regine Basha and Dr. Ella Habiba Shohat.
Join them in The Mosaic Rooms gardens for an al-fresco three-course meal featuring the artist Michael Rakowitz's Iraqi-Jewish grandmother's recipes. Using ingredients, combinations of flavours, and tableware specific to a population that are no longer served in Iraq today, these dishes reflect a period when "Jews were once Arabs too".
In between each course Michael Rakowitz, Regine Basha and Dr. Ella Habiba Shohat provide personal reflections, toasts and interventions. Basha's Tuning Baghdad project which presents archival music from Iraqi Jewish musicians from the period will feature throughout the evening.
Dar Al Sulh, or Domain of Conciliation, is a territory where an agreement between Muslims and non-Muslims has been made and provides freedom of religion, autonomy, and protection. It is this agreement that applied to Jews in Iraq, and elsewhere in the Middle East. The Iraqi Jews exodus began from 1940s as a result of riots and reprisals leading up to and after the establishment of the state of Israel. Zionist and other narratives have since adopted this exodus to support their specific political positions and arguments. This supper club project aims to counter these, and instead create and reclaim a space for shared celebration of Arab Jewish culture. The project was first realized in 2013 with the Moving Museum in Dubai and has had various presentations internationally. This is the first time it will be presented in London and the UK.
Michael Rakowitz is an artist living and working in Chicago. His work has appeared in venues worldwide including dOCUMENTA (13), P.S.1, MoMA, MassMOCA, Castello di Rivoli, the 16th Biennale of Sydney, the 10th Istanbul Biennial, Sharjah Biennial 8, Tirana Biennale, National Design Triennial at the Cooper-Hewitt, and Transmediale 05. He has had solo exhibitions at Tate Modern in London, Lombard Freid Gallery in New York, Alberto Peola Arte Contemporanea in Torino, and Kunstraum Innsbruck. Rakowitz's 'The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist' will be the next work to appear on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square and will be unveiled in 2018. He is Professor of Art Theory and Practice at Northwestern University.
Regine Basha is an independent curator based in Brooklyn, NY. Since 1993, she has been curating innovative exhibitions for public institutions, civic spaces, magazines and private galleries nationally and internationally. With an exploratory approach to exhibition design, production and reception, Basha works closely with artists to create specific contexts in which to encounter the work. Her exhibitions have received grant awards from The Andy Warhol Foundation, The Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation and The National Endowment for the Arts as well as critical press in The New York Times, Artforum, Modern Painters, Art Papers, Wire, Bidoun, Art Lies, Artforum and NPR Radio. She currently sits on the board of Art Matters and Aurora Picture Show.
Ella Shohat is Professor of Cultural Studies at New York University. Her books include: Taboo Memories, Diasporic Voices; Israeli Cinema: East/West and the Politics of Representation; Talking Visions: Multicultural Feminism in a Transnational Age; Between the Middle East and the Americas: The Cultural Politics of Diaspora; Unthinking Eurocentrism; Multiculturalism, Postcoloniality and Transnational Media; Flagging Patriotism: Crises of Narcissism and Anti-Americanism; Race in Translation: Culture Wars Around the Postcolonial Atlantic; and fresh from Pluto press, On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements.
Presented in partnership with The Mosaic Rooms.

State Department Diplomat in Residence maps out career possibilities
Rich Jaworski, Diplomat in Residence (DIR) for the Southern Mid-Atlantic region, visited Radford University on March 26.
Jaworski is a senior Foreign Service officer in the Department of State with more than 31 years of global experience. As a DIR, he travels around Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina to provide guidance and advice on careers, internships and fellowships to students and professionals in the region.
During Jaworski's visit to Radford – his first - he met with students, faculty and political science classes. In each session, his message was the same: the Foreign Service, and the Department of State at large, needs workers of all skills and backgrounds.
"We're trying to win the war for good talent," Jaworski said. "We're letting people know that the State Department is a place where a lot of different fields can fit in. Beyond diplomats, we need human resources, budget and fiscal experts, security workers, doctors and nurses."
The mission of a U.S. diplomat in the Foreign Service is to promote peace, support prosperity and protect American citizens abroad. Foreign Service officers travel around the globe to fulfill that mission. Jaworski himself has served in Moscow, London, Tel Aviv, Warsaw, Ankara, Baghdad and Washington, D.C.
For more information about opportunities in the Foreign Service, visit the U.S. Department of State website.
Jaworski's visit was sponsored by the Career Center, the Military Resource Center, the International Education Center and the Department of Political Science.

Kaman (pronouced like Command without the D) was not happy that the Martin dreadnaughts neck needed a reset and the body was cracking. He decided to build a better guitar.
Josh White Model
Using the same technology his company specializes in to create aerospace and satellite parts. Kaman came up with the idea of creating a guitar out of these materials. His first utilized a spruce top, a maple neck with a center strip of walnut and a unique fiberglass bowl-shaped back made of a composite material the company used in creating helicopters. The composite was trademarked as Lyrachord. Of course we are talking about the Ovation guitar.
In 1976 Kaman took this a step further with the creation of the Adamas guitar.
The Adamas had the same round Lyrachord bowl back. What was quite unique to the Adamas was the instruments top. It utilized long strand carbon-graphite fiber. This material allowed the top to be much thinner than spruce, but as the company claims "with the same vibrating qualities of spruce. Due to the decreased mass, the vibration was intensified therefore able to vibrate louder and longer. "
The Adamas website also states; "The top is actually a composite structure, with two .005" carbon-graphite outer layers and a .035" birch veneer sandwiched in the center, bonded together at 250° F. While the fibers of the carbon run in a longitudinal direction parallel with the neck of the guitar, the birch veneer grain is set to a 60° angle to the carbon."
There is an extremely light finish applied as to not inhibit vibration.
To prevent torque issues associated with the pressure of string pull, the soundhole was relocated from its usual center of the instrument to the upper and lower bouts in the form of 22 individual soundholes (15 soundholes on cutaway models.)
Traditional guitars use a series of wooden blocks to bind the top and back of the instrument to the sides. This is called kerfling. Because of the construction method of Adamas, kerfling was eliminated and replaced with a flexible ring on the inner top and bowl of the instrument. Of course due to the parabolic design of the bowl back, which acts as a orchestra shell, there is no need for kerfling since the bowl is molded.
The RainSong Guitar Company was formed in the 1990s by Dr. John Decker. Decker was living in Hawaii and concerned about string instruments warping due to the humid climate. He came up with a guitar that was made of all graphite composite.
The early models designed in cooperation with luthier Lorenzo Pimentel.
By contructing the entire instruments top out of a consistantly uniform molded graphite, there is no need for bracing. This eliminates weight and deadened spots. The tone can be quite loud but balanced.
The neck is unique in that it is cast from a single graphite matrix instead of cut from a piece of wood. Due to this process, RainSong guitar necks have a consistant shape. The action can be set low without buzzing. The casting process also provides for consistant positioning of fretslots.
Though the necks have trussrods, they are used for customization of neck relief since the necks will not twist, bow or warp.
RainSong guitars come in only one color, black. The company states this is because they do not want to cover up the graphite. There are several layers of UV protected clear finish applied, buffed and sanded to a thin layer.
There are some other guitars that were made of carbon graphite or partially manufactured of this material, such as the original Steinberger bass and guitar made by designer Ned Steinberger that was made of graphite reinforced epoxy. Modulus basses have a graphite composite neck for added strength.
A company called Moses produces graphite retrofit necks for most style guitars including Steinberg.
Chrysalis Guitars manufacturers an inflatible travel guitar that is designed to be taken apart and placed in a small brief case.

Vol. LXIV, No. 24

For more movie summaries, see Kams Kapsules.
Directed by Joe Carnahan (Smokin Aces), this adaptation of the hit TV series from the eighties remains faithful to the original by revolving around the daring exploits of an elite squad of commandos comprised of hard-nosed Colonel Hannibal Smith (Liam Neeson), handsome Face Peck (Bradley Cooper), crazy Howling Mad Murdock (Sharlto Copley), and Bad Attitude B.A. Baracus (Quinton Jackson). The setting for the film has been shifted to present-day Baghdad, where these one-dimensional archetypes quickly wear out their welcome on the big screen.
Duplicitous CIA Agent Lynch (Patrick Wilson) has given the veteran Army Rangers their assignment, which is to retrieve the counterfeit plates and billions of bogus U.S. dollars that have fallen into the hands of Iraqi insurgents.
Unfortunately, this bombastic movies ensuing pointless pyrotechnics and detonations that involve cars, boats, buildings, aircraft, and shipping containers is so distracting that the plot is rendered irrelevant. The movie is comprised of a series of stunts that are invariably followed by shots of the heroes giving each other high-fives.
Their antics may appeal to the tweener demographic, but will probably annoy nostalgic fans of the television show who may be expecting a coherent storyline. A bizarre departure arrives midway in the adventure when macho B.A. (based on the TV character Mr. T.) announces that hes taken a vow of non-violence and refuses to fight anymore. Not to worry, his vow of pacifism is tested when the life of one of his buddies is put in danger. Fortunately Hannibal comes up with a quote from Gandhi that sanctions violence.
Meanwhile, the A-Team successfully completes their top secret mission and turns over the loot to Lynch, who, it turns out, is closely associated with a shady private security firm called Black Forest. They double-cross Hannibal and company who end up being dishonorably discharged and convicted of treason. However, the A Team escapes from their federal prison and embark on a mission to restore their good names and exact revenge on their enemies. Escapist summer fare doesnt come any more mindless than this!
Fair (1 star). Rated PG-13 for profanity, smoking, and pervasive violence. Running time: 117 Minutes. Studio: 20th Century Fox.

Night of the Living Dead Defense is somewhere in the middle: not the greatest tower defense game you ever played, not even the greatest one with zombies in it, most likely. In fact, it's kind of a big ripoff of GRave Defense. And like most spinoffs lately labeled with the name of a classic Romero movie, it's got jack squat to do with Night of the Living Dead.
But hell, it's free instead of two bucks, just for today, and provides yet another way to spend another hour of your life shooting zombies. And you can't buy that kind of quality time, really.

FineArtAmerica is a type of online store known as a print-on-demand store. What this means is that artists and photographers can upload their images to FineArtAmerica, and sell products with their designs. Print-on-demand stores typically sell prints, home decor products, and other gifts. These stores allow designers to sell products with their images without having to worry about maintaining inventory, handling orders, and shipping, while still being able to make money off of their designs.
This article will discuss FIneArtAmerica and give information about the store for sellers (as opposed to customers). The topics covered are products offered, uploading interface, the dashboard, royalty rates, membership fees, promotional tools and more.
FineArtAmerica was founded in 2006. They have multiple sites in different countries, with Pixels.com being their internationally accessible one. They are also partnered with Deck the Walls, The Great Frame Up, The Framing Art Centre, Shop For Art.com, and EarthPrints. They have an interior design program through DesignerPrints.com, which allows companies to buy wholesale at discounted prices.
Their product lines are wall art (canvas prints, posters, prints, framed prints, acrylic, metal and wood prints), home decor (throw pillows, shower curtains, duvet covers, towels), various types of tote bags, beach towels, greeting cards, phone cases and clothing. New product types are added sporadically.
They ship worldwide, with 14 manufacturing centers located in 5 countries.
Seller Interface
Very similar to Redbubble, with the user uploading a single image and it being placed on all products. You have the ability, in one single page, to move and resize the images online to fit the product. You can upload a higher resolution image for an individual product if you want. You can also offer originals for sale and image licenses for commercial use. The image file is able to be changed even after a product is published.
They call this "Behind The Scenes". There is a lot here, and more in the paid version. You can see your sales, edit your accounting and profile information, setup up your shopping cart, set up your special features, marketing tools, and others. You can set up your premium features. There is a place for checking your e-mails (mostly from groups). You can set which domains you want your products on. You can change your default markups for all of your products on one page. There is a bulk image editor. You can see all of your groups and favorites.
Your Activity page is divided into many sections, and it is in a stream format. You can choose to see all activity. You can see activity directed at you (comments on your art, people favoriting your art, adding you to their watch list, etc). You can see what the people you are watching have been doing. And you can see contests and events.
You can choose to sell your art through their various partner sites (see the intro). You can choose to donate returned art to charity. There is an image licensing program that allows you to license your images for use in publications and other things. You can also license your products for use by ABC/Disney as set design. You can also choose to stream your artwork via Acanvas digital picture frames.
Product Statistics
You can see how many times a design has been viewed from your dashboard in the Visitors and Comments section. You can also see how many times your image has been "liked", commented and favorited on each image page. Even though you can see your sales in the Accounting section, I do not see that there is a statistic for how many times a particular product or design has sold. I guess that is something you have to keep track of on your own.
You can set your own royalty, but they make suggestions.
Affiliate/Referral Program
There is no affiliate program currently.
Membership Fees
There are two levels. The free store is fully functional, but you are limited to selling 25 art prints. The paid subscription, which is very reasonable at $30 per year, allows you to have your own customizable website, a drop in shopping cart for your website, unlimited sales, 5% commission on frames, and gain the ability to have your artwork licensed by television and movie companies. In my opinion, it is worth it to upgrade to premium.
Promotional Tools
The ability to have your own shopping cart widget for your site is probably the best feature of FineArtAmerica. You can link your account to your Twitter and Facebook accounts, so that when you upload an artwork, it will post on these two sites. They have javascript slideshow widgets for your blog. You can send out newsletters. Sellers can set up their own promotions and advertise them through Facebook, Twitter and email. You can also create your own coupons and email them out.
There is a tool called "Search Sponsorship" where you can "sponsor" a search term by linking to that search on your website or blog as a small text advert. They have a nice product catalog that you can print out and take with you to trade shows. You have the ability to make a press release and post blog articles directly on the site. You can post an event as well (example: art show). And last but not least, there are share buttons located on all the pages.
Storefront Layout
Not customizable in free membership, fully customizable website for paid subscription. Even in the free version you can arrange your images into galleries, and the images can be sorted within each gallery. You have a About Me page. You can add an avatar.
You can watch a seller, favorite, like, and leave comments on their works. There are groups you can join and add your work. The community page within your account lists the activity of all the people you watch. Groups can host contests, and the prize can vary. Many groups are very active, and regularly feature artwork on their front page. Some groups even feature art on their social media pages or blogs.
Your image ranking is related to how many comments, likes and favorites your artwork gets. So, it is in your best interest to try and network with as many artists as possible, as well as actively promoting your own artwork on your website, blog and through social media. There are a few groups who help you to do this, by exchanging likes and comments.
The general nature of FineArtAmerica is that it is geared towards the fine arts (it's in the title!). Whereas many Print-on-Demand stores seem to cater to graphic designers and text-based designs, the majority of the artwork on FAA consists of paintings, drawings, and photography. This is the best place to go if your art falls into one of these categories. However, it is not to say that a digital artist or someone who specializes in patterns or graphic design would not succeed as well. FineArtAmerica's primary focus is on their art prints, with their other products coming in as secondary.
File Size Limits and Types
Maximum file size is 25MB, and they accept PNG and JPG. This seems small to me, especially if you want a high resolution image of a very large painting for printing.
I like Fine Art America. I have been a member for about a year now. I love the sense of community here, and also the many options and flexibility. However, I wish that they would allow larger file sizes to be uploaded. 25MB is too small, in my opinion, especially for large-size art prints.

AmideBio Awarded NIH SBIR Phase 1 Grant to Study Novel Glucagon for the Treatment of Hyperinsulinism
AmideBio, LLC, a privately-held biopharmaceutical company, announced today that it has received a $338,387 Phase 1 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Institute of Health. Under the 2 year grant, AmideBio will develop and produce a series of solution-stable glucagons and test them both in vitro and in vivo with the goal of identifying a glucagon analog suitable for clinical testing for long term treatment of hyperinsulinism, a disease whereby infants and new born babies suffer from persistant hypoglycemia which can lead to seizures and brain damage. A solution-stable glucagon would also have benefit in the treatment of emergency hypoglycemia.
Glucagon has been shown to be an effective treatment option for hyperinsulinism but its inherent instability has limited its therapeutic use due to complications associated with its administration through pumps. Using AmideBio's BioPure™ process, the Company has produced glucagon analogs that have in-use stability of at least 6 months at 40°C and extended long term storage that meets the standard 95% potency requirement throughout 2-year storage at 4°C. These analogs will be suitable for use in a pump system for long-term management of severe persistent hyperinsulinism. Under the grant, these analogs will be further refined and tested.
"This grant will allow us to further develop and test AmideBio's stable glucagons for treatment of patients with hyperinsulinism who fail to respond to current drug treatments," said Misha Plam, CEO of AmideBio. "This therapeutic solution offers the potential for babies to avoid traumatic surgeries including a total pancreatectomy, providing the chance for them to live more normal lives."

Duterte says China misunderstood Philippine minister's South China Sea remarks
Feb 24, 2017-
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said on Friday he was not sure why China's commerce minister had cancelled a trip to his country, and that Beijing misunderstood his foreign minister's comments about its militarisation in the South China Sea.
Duterte said he wanted solid ties with China and there was no urgency in pressing it to abide by last year's arbitration ruling on the Philippines' maritime boundaries and sovereign rights, which went in favour of Manila and infuriated Beijing.[nL8N19Y02S]
On Tuesday, Foreign Secretary Perfecto Yasay, the chairman of a meeting of foreign ministers of the Association of South East Asian Nations, said the region had "grave concerns" about China putting weapons installations on its manmade islands in the Spratlys. [nL4N1G62H9]
"The problem is I think Secretary Yasay was misunderstood by the Chinese government," Duterte said in a speech.
"I would like to assure China, and this is what I had committed to do when I was there, that we will talk as friends," he said, referring to a trip he made to China last year.
China's Commerce Minister Gao Hucheng decided at the last minute to postpone an official trip on Thursday to the Philippines to sign about 40 joint projects worth billions of dollars. No reason was given by either side. [nL4N1G831P]
However, on Friday, the Chinese government announced the appointment of a new trade minister to replace Gao, as part of a reshuffle ahead of a crucial Communist Party meeting later this year. [nL4N1G920D]
Establishing better relations with China has been a key plank of Duterte's sometimes perplexing foreign policy, which has seen him lash out at major donors and investors such as the United States and European Union.
He is keen to tap China for loans, tourists and infrastructure.
On Friday Duterte said the Philippines' longstanding alliance with the United States did not make it "duty bound to follow" Washington's foreign policy, and conflict with Beijing was not an option.
"We cannot go to war because we cannot afford it," he said. "And as much as possible, the bilateral relations between the two countries would be enhanced and improved and trade and commerce between the two countries greatly improved."
But that could be affected by Yasay's comments that ASEAN members were "unanimous in their expression of concern" about "very unsettling" developments. He mentioned China by name, something the 10-nation grouping is often reluctant to do.
China's foreign ministry spokesman, Geng Shuang, on Thursday told a regular briefing that Yasay's remarks were "baffling and regrettable", and he hoped Yasay would "speak and act cautiously".

The next crucial date in the calendar for the future of Europe is set for the September 12 when the Germans will give their final response on the legality of the eurozone rescue fund, the Dutch people will vote for a new government and the European Commission is expected to unveil plans for a banking union, PublicServiceEurope.com reports
In recent months calendars have been filled with special dates, ultimate deadlines, make or break summits and top-level meetings – each presented as being decisive for the eurozone crisis. Each failed to deliver a lasting solution to the ongoing economic and financial turmoil. Therefore, expectations should not be high for the next special date – which by a pure coincidence of events will be September 12. Yet it would also be unwise to underestimate the importance of the outcomes of this 'Special 12'.
Perhaps, the most important decision will come from Germany. This should not be surprising as Berlin has gradually become the undisputed, yet not always impartial, arbiter of all important European decisions in the last few years. On September 12, the German Constitutional Court will deliver a long-awaited ruling over the legitimacy of the eurozone's permanent rescue fund – known as the European Stability Mechanism. The green light from Germany's top court is crucial to putting the fund in place, since the country will be the main contributor to the common pot. The ESM will replace the existing European Financial Stability Facility, boosting the size of the eurozone's financial firewall to €700 billion.

We all have movies that we can watch over and over again and I've always been a hopeless romantic, so therefore I am a sucker for "chick flicks". Chick flicks are always predictable and I'm usually in tears at some point in the movie, but they are in no way indicative of real life. I think that's why they're so charming though especially when you're single. Singledom can be a depressing time, but romantic movies always offer a little glimmer of hope even in the darkest of times. Thankfully I am no longer a singleton and my Prince Charming is way better than fiction, but I still need chick flicks in my life.
I've compiled (in no particular order) a Top Ten list of my favorite chick flicks:
1. The Wedding Date (2005) starring Debra Messing, Dermot Mulroney
Plot: Kat Ellis (Debra Messing) is a single New Yorker who returns to her parents' house in London to be the maid of honor at her younger half-sister Amy's (Amy Adams) wedding. The best man is none other than her former fiancé, who unexpectedly dumped her two years ago. Anxious about confronting him and eager to impress him, she hires suave escort Nick Mercer (Dermot Mulroney) to pose as her boyfriend. – Wikipedia
My thoughts: I've lost count of the number of times I've seen this movie. It's probably an embarrassingly high number. I can't help it though because Dermot Mulroney and Debra Messing have amazing on-screen chemistry. But seriously, who hires and escort to accompany them to a wedding?
Favorite Quote(s):
"I'd rather fight with you than make love with anyone else." – Nick Mercer
"You're like the Yoda of escorts. Getting you on the phone was harder than getting into college." – Kat to Nick
2. The Holiday (2006) – starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black
Plot: Two women, each troubled with guy problems swap homes in each other's countries, where they each meet a local guy and fall in love.
My thoughts: Two words – Jude Law. So dreamy and so British. I have a thing for British men and his character is a sappy romantic who weeps during a good book. Perfection. Jack Black is not my ideal movie love interest, but somehow in this movie he is just that. He's equal parts nerdy and charming, much like my husband.
Favorite Quote(s):
"Iris, if you were a melody… I used only the good notes." – Miles
"I have another scenario for you – I'm in love with you. I apologize for the blunt delivery, but as problematic as this fact may be, I'm in love… with YOU." – Graham
3. P.S. I Love You (2007) – starring Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler and Harry Connick, Jr.
Plot: A grieving widow finds her husband's warmth radiating from the afterlife when she discovers that he left her a series of tasks to be revealed in ten monthly messages and designed to help her overcome her sorrow while gradually making the transition into a new life. – Rotten Tomatoes
My thoughts: Gerard Butler has been making me swoon ever since I saw him for the first time in Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.
No one likes to think of their spouse dying, but wouldn't it be such an enormous comfort if they had somehow managed to leave you 10 amazingly well crafted letters designed to arrive at just the right moments during the grieving process? In the real world most people don't get the luxury or planning these things out. Even still this movie is an amazing tale of the enormous amount of love these two characters have for each other and no matter how many times I watch it I always, always ugly cry.
Favorite Quote(s):
"What do you want? I know what I want, cause I'm holding it in my hands." – Gerry to Holly
"Every morning I still wake up and the first thing I want to do is to see your face." – Gerry to Holly
4. Notting Hill (1999) – starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant
Plot: Can a beautiful and internationally famous American actress find happiness with a frumpy British bookstore clerk? She can — at least for a while, it seems — in Notting Hill. William Thacker (played by Hugh Grant) is a bookseller at a shop in the Notting Hill district in West London, who shares a house with an eccentric Welsh friend, Spike (Rhys Ifans). One day, William is minding the store when in strolls Anna Scott (Julia Roberts), a lovely and well-known actress from the United States who is in London working on a film. She buys a book from William, and she is polite and charming in the way a famous actress would be with a star-struck sales clerk….read more at Rotten Tomatoes
My thoughts: In my opinion Julia Roberts is the queen of romantic comedies. She's funny, quirky and I think she's beautiful despite what some people say about her looks. Hugh Grant is much like he is in most of the movies he stars – cute, instantly likeable, somewhat clumsy and has just enough sex appeal for me to be drawn to him. Hugh and Julia have great chemistry and make a sort of odd, but loveable on-screen couple.
Favorite Quote(s):
"And don't forget… I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." – Anna to William
5. Pride and Prejudice (2005) – starring Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen
Plot: The Bennets (Brenda Blethyn and Donald Sutherland) are the parents of five daughters near the close of the 18th century. Comfortable within their means but well short of rich, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet are looking for suitable husbands for their girls, and they are encouraged to learn that an eligible young bachelor from a wealthy family, Charles Bingley (Simon Woods), has moved into a nearby estate. Eager to see if a match can be made, the Bennets bring their daughters Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) and Jane (Rosamund Pike) to a ball thrown by their new neighbor to see if sparks will fly….read more at Rotten Tomatoes
My thoughts: I will stop what I'm doing anytime, anywhere to watch this movie if it's on. Pride and Prejudice is my favorite Jane Austen novel and I prefer this adaptation to the Colin Firth version. I know, shocking right? Matthew MacFadyen is a dream to watch on-screen and is one of my favorite British actors. His portrayal of Mr. Darcy melts me and I love the character of Elizabeth. She is such a free spirit, intelligent and refuses to settle in regards to love. The love story of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet is one of my all time favorites.
Favorite Quote(s):
"I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on." – Mr. Darcy to Elizabeth
6. Pretty Woman (1990) starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts
Plot: Edward is a rich and sophisticated businessman who specializes in corporate raiding – buying up businesses to break them up and sell them off in pieces. Vivian is a Los Angeles prostitute struggling with her lifestyle and a need to pay the rent. On a business trip to Los Angeles, Edward hires Vivian to be his girlfriend for a week while he traverses the local social circles. Love and various social complications invade their tidy arrangement and have the pair wondering if this Cinderella-story could have a happy ending. – Rotten Tomatoes
My thoughts: This is back when Richard Gere was still hot. Who wouldn't want an older, salt and pepper haired, rich businessman to offer them a few thousand dollars for a week of your time and then ultimately be your happily ever after? Yes, I know it's too good to be true, but how cute is Julia Roberts in the bathtub singing Prince songs? Super damn cute.
Favorite Quote(s):
Edward Lewis: So what happens after he climbs up and rescues her? Vivian: She rescues him right back.
7. When Harry Met Sally (1989) – starring Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal and Carrie Fisher
Plot: Does sex make it impossible for men and women to be true friends? This romantic comedy chronicles this dilemma through the eleven year relationship between Harry and Sally who meet in college, then pursue their own lives until they reconnect ten years later. – Rotten Tomatoes
My thoughts: Meg Ryan is just the cutest. I love her in almost everything she's been in and Billy Crystal is also one of those guys I wouldn't normally consider as a love interest, but it's his humor that makes him interesting. I'm not sure if it's possible in all male/female friendships to just be friends without sex getting in the way, but it's worked between me and my best guy friend for almost 5 years. The whole "too much pepper on my paprikash" scene is too adorable for words and Harry's speech at the end of the movie still makes me cry after all these years.
Favorite Quote(s):
"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." – Harry to Sally (THIS! This makes the whole entire movie worthwhile.)
8. Love Actually (2003) – starring Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley, Alan Rickman and many others
Plot: All of London is in love — or longing to be. Love Actually involves more than a dozen main characters, each weaving his or her way into another's heart over the course of one particularly eventful Christmas. The seemingly perfect wedding of Juliet (Keira Knightley) and Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) brings many of the principals together, including heartsick best man Mark (Andrew Lincoln), who harbors a very unrequited crush on Juliet….read more at Rotten Tomatoes
My thoughts: I don't even know where to begin with this one. There are so many amazing actors in this movie that it's hard to even pick out my favorite part. I love how all of the characters are connected in some way but I really wish there was more closure with Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson's characters. He sort of cheats on her, not physically, but emotionally and I felt that the writers left us hanging a bit too much in the end. Colin Firth's character is definitely a highlight for me. His character Jamie falls in love with his Portuguese housekeeper Aurelia who doesn't speak English. When he realizes he's in love with her he begins to learn Portuguese and eventually goes to Frances and proposes to her in her language in front of her family and everyone in the restaurant where she works. Super romantic, right?!
Favorite Quote(s):
[In Portuguese] Beautiful Aurelia, I've come here with a view of asking you to marriage me. I know I seems an insane person – because I hardly knows you – but sometimes things are so transparency, they don't need evidential proof. And I will inhabit here, or you can inhabit with me in England. – Jamie to Aurelia
9. Bridget Jones' Diary (2001) – starring Hugh Grant, Colin Firth and Renee Zellweger
Plot: This romantic comedy follows Bridget (Renee Zellweger), a post-feminist, thirty-something British woman who has a penchant for alcoholic binges, smoking, and an inability to control her weight. While trying to keep these things in check and also deal with her job in publishing, she visits her parents for a Christmas party. They try to set her up with Mark (Colin Firth), the visiting son of one of their neighbors. Snubbed by Mark, she instead falls for her boss Daniel (Hugh Grant), a dashing lothario who begins to send her suggestive e-mails that soon lead to a dinner date proposition. Daniel reveals that he and Mark attended college together, during which time Mark had an affair with his fiancée. When Bridget finds Daniel cavorting with an American colleague, she decides to change her life with a new job as a TV presenter. At a dinner party, she bumps into Mark again, who expresses his affection for her; when Daniel claims he wants Bridget back, the two fight over who deserves her affections the most. – Rotten Tomatoes
My thoughts: Hugh Grant and Colin Firth again. I told you I love British men. This was my go to movie back in my single days and is why I used to journal and part of the reason I started a blog. I related to Bridget so much. She's quirky, neurotic, awkward and has extremely low self-esteem. All qualities I possessed as a single girl and if I'm being honest I'm still very much like Bridget in a lot of ways.
Favorite Quote(s):
"I like you, very much. Just as you are." – Mark Darcy
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces." – Bridget Jones
10. Catch and Release (2007) starring Jennifer Garner, Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis and Kevin Smith
Plot: After the sudden death of her fiancé, Gray Wheeler finds comfort in the company of his friends: lighthearted and comic Sam, hyper-responsible Dennis, and, oddly enough, his old childhood buddy Fritz, an irresponsible playboy whom she'd previously pegged as one of the least reliable people in the world. As secrets about her supposedly perfect fiancé emerge, Gray comes to see new sides of the man she thought she knew, and at the same time, finds herself drawn to the last man she ever expected to fall for. – IMDB
My thoughts: I'll be honest. The main reason I love this movie is because of Kevin Smith. His character, Sam, so endearing and sweet. I've been a Kevin Smith fan for many years and it was awesome to see him in a completely different light. He is literally the best part of the movie – sweet, funny and sincere as Sam, he steals every scene he's in. I love his movies, but I would even go so far as to say I almost like him as an actor better.
Favorite Quote(s):
Sadly, I don't think there are any real memorable quotes from this movie, because honestly, it's kind of forgettable outside of Kevin Smith's performance. But don't let that dissuade you….give it a watch.
Gosh, I commend you if you've made it this far. This was a long post! Honestly, it was way more involved than I had originally intended it to be, but once I got started I just kept going and going. I hope you'll check out some of the movies above if you haven't seen them or maybe they're already some of your favorites too! Either way, thanks for reading about some of my all time favorite romantic movies. Whether you're single or taken, chick flicks help to inspire us when we're feeling a little lost or they help keep the romance alive when we're blissfully in love.
Happy Wednesday!

Stafford Doctor Pleads Guilty to Distribution of Oxycodone and Health Care Fraud
ALEXANDRIA, VA—Nibedita Mohanty, M.D., 56, of Stafford, Virginia, pleaded guilty today to charges of distribution and dispensation of controlled substances and aiding and abetting health care fraud.
Dana J. Boente, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia; Adam S. Lee, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Richmond Field Office; Andrew G. McCabe, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office; and Charles E. Jett, Stafford County Sheriff, made the announcement after the plea was accepted by U.S. District Judge Liam O'Grady.
Dr. Mohanty was indicted by a federal grand jury on July 24, 2014. Dr. Mohanty faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison when sentenced on June 5, 2015. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
In a statement of facts filed with the plea agreement, Dr. Mohanty admitted to issuing prescriptions for oxycodone which were not for a legitimate medical purpose and beyond the bounds of medical practice. In one such instance, on May 2, 2011, Dr. Mohanty issued a prescription for oxycodone to patient who experienced a nonfatal narcotics overdose. Dr. Mohanty subsequently treated the patient at the hospital. On May 31, 2011, Dr. Mohanty issued another oxycodone prescription to same patient. The next day, the patient was found deceased in the bathroom of a friend's home. The cause of death was determined to be accidental acute combined oxycodone and imipramine toxicity.
In another instance, on October 3, 2011, Dr. Mohanty issued a prescription for oxycodone to a patient. Nine days later the patient was found unresponsive in her home. Hospital records and testimony would have shown that the nonfatal overdose was oxycodone related.
In addition, Dr. Mohanty admitted that she aided and abetted a patient in the commission of health care fraud. Dr. Mohanty acknowledged that she did not possess a "X" DEA number, nor was she authorized for office-based narcotic buprenorphine treatment. Despite this Dr. Mohanty prescribed Subutex, which contains buprenorphine, to a patient who she was treating for drug addiction and dependence, which was billed to and paid for by the patient's health insurance. From June 2009 through February 12, 2013, Dr. Mohanty was Chief of Medicine at Stafford Hospital. Dr. Mohanty received her medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia and completed her residency at Brown University School of Medicine in Providence, Rhode Island.
The case was investigated by the Stafford County Sheriff's Office, and the FBI's Richmond and Washington Field Offices. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gene Rossi and Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jennifer Ballantyne and Nicole Grosnoff are prosecuting the case.
