Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood Respond to 'Remind Me' Lawsuit
Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood deny any wrongful conduct in a copyright infringement suit involving their 2011 hit 'Remind Me.' Singer/songwriter Amy Bowen filed the suit in May, claiming the songwriters stole from her.
A judge refused to dismiss the complaint in December. Bowen says she wrote a song called 'Remind Me' in 2007 and brought it to a 14-week country music songwriting workshop, at which Kelley Lovelace and Chris DuBois were advisors. Along with Paisley, the two men wrote the song for the singer's 2011 'This Is Country Music' album.
A judge denied dismissal because she felt the way Paisley and Underwood use the words "remind me" is similar to how Bowen used them. Bowen -- who performs as Lizza Connor -- copyrighted the song in 2008.
"Defendants (Paisley and Underwood) deny any wrongful conduct, omissions, infringement or any other activities alleged by Plaintiff in this District or elsewhere or that they are liable to the Plaintiff for any claims," this most recent filing reads.
Another interesting wrinkle that became public this week is DuBois' countersuit against Bowen. He claims that she signed a consent agreement that -- in so many words -- makes it difficult or impossible for her to sue for trademark infringement. Radar Online claims she basically gave up her rights to sue at that time, and DuBois wants her to pay for damages.
In addition to Paisley, Underwood and the songwriters, the other defendants in the case are producer Frank Rogers, Sea Gayle Music, EMI April Music and Sony Music Entertainment. Bowen is asking for $10 million.

Outspoken members of the Senate Intelligence Committee have said frequently that they wanted to warn the public about the National Security Agency's sweeping collection of telephone records but the program's highly classified nature prevented them from making public reference to the programs.
That, however, is not the full story. Buried in the pages of Senate Resolution 400, which established the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in 1976, is a provision that allows them to try. Across those nearly 40 years, it's never been used.
The committee's failure to make use of the provision even once, critics say, underscores a problem with congressional oversight: Congress has proved unwilling to openly question the intelligence agencies' claims that something must remain secret.
"Clearly, there are some secrets that the government should protect. So it's serious business," said former Democratic U.S. Rep. Lee Hamilton, a former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who co-chaired the government's investigation of 9/11. "But . . . Congress has been, I think, far too deferential to the president in letting him control the classification system."
The irony of that deference has been on display for the past two months as Congress debates whether the NSA's collection of domestic telephone metadata goes beyond what Congress intended when it passed the USA Patriot Act in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks: The debate became possible only because a former NSA contractor, Edward Snowden, who now faces criminal charges, leaked a secret order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court authorizing the program.
Intelligence Committee member and NSA critic Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., acknowledged the importance of Snowden's leak in a speech two weeks ago in which he credited the former contractor with opening a conversation that the senator himself had failed to start for two years.
But Wyden's admission also provided evidence of the inadequacies of the Intelligence Committee's efforts to oversee such controversial programs, critics say.
Steven Aftergood, the director of the Federation of American Scientists' Project on Government Secrecy, calls the committee's failure to take the initiative to declassify records "frustrating and disappointing.""It is an authority that Congress could exercise and take responsibility for," he said. But he said it wasn't part of what he called "their conscious tool kit."
The Senate established the Intelligence Committee to replace the so-called Church Committee, chaired by the late Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho. That committee had uncovered a range of questionable intelligence practices, including CIA involvement in White House efforts to cover up the Watergate scandal, the opening of Americans' mail, the unauthorized storage of toxic agents and a series of covert efforts to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
Senators foresaw the likelihood of a conflict between the intelligence agencies and the legislative branch. The legislation that established the committee called for it to "provide vigilant legislative oversight over the intelligence activities of the United States."
As a part of this oversight, Section 8 of the resolution lays out a process by which a member of the Intelligence Committee may seek the declassification of information that he or she thinks is of public interest, even if the executive branch labels the material top secret.
"The select committee may, subject to the provisions of this section, disclose publicly any information in the possession of such committee after a determination by such committee that the public interest would be served by such disclosure," the section reads.
The process begins with a committee vote. If a majority of members vote to declassify, and the executive branch continues to resist, the issue is taken to the Senate floor. The chamber can do one of three things: Approve the disclosure, disapprove the disclosure or allow the Intelligence Committee to make the decision.
Many of Capitol Hill's Nixon-era heavy hitters backed the resolution, including a young senator from Delaware who now sits on the executive end of the intelligence debate: Joe Biden. When Biden's office was asked via email whether the vice president would still support the Intelligence Committee's ability to declassify information, it declined to comment.
The panel's lack of muscle with intelligence agencies isn't limited to the NSA collection program. Last year, the committee approved a 6,000-page investigation into the CIA's so-called harsh interrogation program, which included waterboarding, secret prisons and allegations of torture.
The report cost $40 million and had taken years to complete. The committee's current chair, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has called it the committee's most comprehensive and important oversight to date. Yet despite being completed last December, not a single page of the report has been released.
The CIA has disputed the report's findings, and internal committee disagreements have kept it largely in the dark. Feinstein's office said discussions were ongoing, but it gave no further details on where the declassification effort stands.
"If the Intelligence Committee cannot release its most important oversight piece, that calls into question the existence of the committee. What is it for, if it cannot provide the public with its most important report?" Aftergood said. "It's all but unthinkable."
Feinstein and other supporters of releasing the report could invoke Section 8 in an attempt to declassify portions of it. It's unclear whether there will be an attempt to do so.
The last time a legislator attempted to have a congressionally commissioned report declassified, the committee itself stood in the way.
Then-U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., raised the issue in July 2003, when he pressed the panel to declassify portions of its inquiry into the 9/11 terror attacks, which the Bush administration wanted to keep classified. Graham, who'd chaired the Intelligence Committee from 2001 to January 2003, wrote to the committee asking that portions of the report, which he'd helped oversee while it was being compiled, be made public.
In an interview this month, Graham said he'd made the request when he'd realized how much of the report would remain classified, including an entire section devoted to what support the hijackers had received while they were in the United States. That hadn't been his idea as the investigation was underway.
According to a letter Graham received in September of the same year, his request was denied without a committee vote. Then-Chairman Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., and the senior Democrat on the committee, Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, cited hearings with key intelligence officials to justify keeping the report classified.
"Based on this testimony and our own review of the information, it is our view that release of additional information from Part Four could adversely affect ongoing counterterrorism efforts," the letter says. That part of the investigation remains classified 10 years later.
Graham said the response showed that even in the case of congressionally commissioned reports, the Intelligence Committee still yielded to executive agencies. He said he was disappointed at the Senate's unwillingness to declassify its own work, even after so much time had passed.
"This material was developed by the joint inquiry," he said, referring to the 9/11 Commission's work. "This was not classified information that was made available to Congress by the executive. . . . I think it shows that there has been a strong deference to the executive branch."
Graham also said that in his time as the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, no vote was ever taken to declassify information.
Some experts said that even though the provision hadn't been invoked, it served a purpose as a negotiating chip when committee members were pressing the executive branch over the release of material.
"It's always negotiated, and it goes back and forth. So this is one of the tools available to the Congress in negotiating for a release of information," said Kate Martin, the director of the Center for National Security Studies in Washington, a nongovernmental civil liberties advocacy group.
But she agrees with those who say the Senate Intelligence Committee hasn't asserted its authority to make information public.
"The question for the Intelligence Committee is whether or not in their discussions with the executive branch they make sure that the executive branch is aware of the power that they have to declassify themselves. That's what should happen, and that's what was missing in the last decade," she said.
It may be missing because some current Intelligence Committee members aren't fully aware of the power. Asked about the authority, Wyden confessed that he didn't know the provision existed.
His Intelligence Committee colleague Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., also said he wasn't aware of it.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story said Feinstein's office didn't respond to a request for comment. We've since discovered and confirmed that Feinstein's office didn't receive our query.

Franklin Upsets Wabash in Little Giants' Season Openerby Howard W. Hewitt • September 9, 2006 Share:
Franklin, Ind. – Great teams overcome adversity. The Wabash College Little Giants reached for greatness in the second half here Saturday but fell short to Franklin College in overtime, 45-38.
Battling back most of the second half, Wabash came from two touchdowns down in the final quarter to tie the game at 38-all with just 39 seconds to play. Franklin took the ensuing squib kick to near mid-field but garnered an extra 15 yards on a Wabash unnecessary roughness penalty. See full photo album, click here. (Jim Amidon photos)
The game's tide seemed to turn finally to the Little Giants with only seconds to play. Franklin was set for a game-winning field goal attempt that was blocked at the 35 by Bobby Kimp.
The Grizzlies took the ball at the 25 in overtime and scored in six plays on a 6-yard pass from Chad Rupp to John Cunningham. The Little Giants couldn't find the end zone in seven plays.
"Greatness doesn't happen easily," Wabash coach Chris Creighton said. "That's our deal; we want to become great I'm not a pessimist; I don't want to sit in there with our team and say really bad things are going to happen. To be great the way we want to be great we're going to have to overcome some adversity. So now we have a great opportunity."
The Little Giants had plenty of opportunity early on under bright sunny skies at Red Faught Stadium. Wabash took the opening kick and marched 67 yards on 10 plays. Little Giant quarterback Dustin Huff was intercepted in the end zone from just four yards out to end the threat.
Wabash got on the board first, opening the second quarter, with a 23-yard Chad Finley field goal. But Machy Magdalinos matched the effort from 40 on the next possession to knot things up.
Much of the first quarter was played deep in Grizzly territory, but Wabash couldn't capitalize. The little Giants finally got into the end zone on a Geoff Walker 11-yard catch of a Huff pass at 3:51 for a 10-3 edge.
But then Franklin took over scoring twice before the half. R.J. Hartsfield ran one in from 46 yards out then just before half Cunningham caught a 34 yard pass to leave the Little Giant defense stunned and trailing, 17-10
"Our defense didn't stop them early on because our offense didn't score, Creighton said. "We knew this was going to be a game of momentum. We get the ball and go down there but we didn't score, we didn't get a field goal. We did that twice I think and our defense was playing. Had we punched it in and scored I think it could have been a different game defensively."
To make matters worse, Franklin scored on its first second-half possession following a Danny Sears kick return. Kevin Lynch caught a 12-yard pass that really put Wabash's defense on its heals.
Sears kickoff efforts, particularly in the second half consistently gave Franklin outstanding field position. Franklin had 7 kick returns in the game for 175 yards.
"I coach three guys on the kickoff team and they're the three guys on the right hand side," Creighton said of Sears' three big kick returns. "Those guys are supposed to make a tackle on No. 2 (Sears) when he runs up through there. Hey he's dynamite. We just didn't make plays."
The Little Giants finally did make plays with just over 4 minutes to play. Trailing 38-24, Geoff Walker, who had 13 catches for 175 yards and three scores, hauled in a Huff pass from 7 yards to cut the deficit to a touchdown, 38-31. After holding the Grizzlies, the Little Giants knotted the game on DonJuan Brown's 1 yard plunge with just 39 seconds to play.
That set up the blocked field goal and then Franklin's overtime win.
The Little Giants out-rushed Franklin (186-180), had more passing yards (313-238), and total offense (499-418). But the 175-99 kickoff yardage difference consistently gave Franklin a shorter field.
Senior Dustin Huff threw the ball 45 times with 28 completions for 313 yards. Billy King, making his backfield debut, rushed 11 times for 92 yards. Franklin's Rupp hit for just 238 yards but was efficient hitting on 20 of 24 passes. Hartsfield carried the ball 23 times for 101 yards for Franklin.
The win was the second straight for Franklin over an NCAC school. The Grizzlies defeated Ohio Wesleyan last week. Wabash will look to bounce back against a tough Millikin squad next week on the Crawfordsville campus.

We're just about halfway through the postseason, if our finger-counting math is right, so we figured we'd toss out a few top-of-mind reactions that we've had to what's rolled out so far.
As much as we've enjoyed the first round-and-a-half of October baseball, we seem to be focused on the shortcomings of the teams. It's not that we want to be a wet blanket about the teams who remain, but rather, it makes us respect how hard the game of baseball is and how much failure you have to be ready to withstand as a fan.
Even good teams look bad sometimes: Not that we're insinuating that each of the remaining clubs should be the picture of a perfectly crafted and balanced franchise, but when we see each of the four teams, we notice just how many weak spots are present. The Brewers' top of the lineup is funny-ha-ha (Nyjer? Kotsay? Those are your tablesetters for Prince/Braun?), their defense is porous, and they've pretty much wrung the lifeforce completely out of Shaun Marcum.
The Rangers' starting pitching seems sketchier now than it did in the regular season, and most of their lineup seems to be walking wounded. Which is more than we can say for the Tigers, who we occasionally forget are without Carlos Guillen and Brennan Boesch, which explains how a team has made it to within six wins of a World Championship with Andy Dirks and Don Kelly getting regular playing time.
As begrudging as we are to admit it -- given our distaste for Tony LaRussa and his dubious mythology -- the Cardinals may be a lot stronger than we'd imagined when they snuck into the playoffs on the weakness of the Atlanta Braves' shredded bullpen arms. It's not that the Cards blow us away (outside of Albert Pujols, naturally), but they also don't seem to have the glaring holes that we see in the Brewers or Tigers.
Okay, Skip Schumacher playing centrefield isn't exactly stellar. But you get the broader point, right?
If we were the type who traded in perpetual exasperated disdain, we're sure that the relative weakness of some of these playoff teams as compared to the Jays would drive us crazy. But we're really pretty chill about this now. Although the plan to cultivate "all-stars at every position" probably still makes sense for the local team, it strikes us that it is possible to win with some flawed players. If only they could get themselves out of the AL East.
Pedestrian playoff heroes: Further to the focus on all-stars, we get so focused on superstars and their acquisition throughout the season that we sometimes forget how fun it is to see the admin and support staff step up at this time of year. Don Kelly? We seriously thought he was a fictional player generated by our MLB video game until a week or so ago. Jerry Hairston? He's a guy we pick up in deep mixed rotisserie leagues, mostly because of his multiple position eligibility.
It just struck us last night that the NLCS is a rematch of the 1982 World Series, which is one of the first that we can remember watching with a fair degree of interest, having chosen to root for Robin Yount and the Brewers. And the one thing that we took away from that year's championship series was that an average player like the massively bespectacled Darrell Porter can have a great couple of games in October, and be remembered forever for them.
So obviously, we're putting a fin down on Yorvit Torrealba to be this year's World Series MVP.
Hooray for the schedulemaker (and Mother Nature): Some of the relative weakness of the rosters that has been drawn out through the past few weeks has to do with the mercifully compressed schedule and the weather delays and postponements. Playoff teams are having to dig further into their pitching staffs (see Kyle Lohse versus Randy Wolf, for instance), and benches (George Kottaras, personal catcher for Randy Wolf).
Where travel days and extra days off to sync up with television schedules allowed teams to rest their bullpens and recycle three starting pitchers all the way through the World Series, we're happy to see teams required to dig into their roster depth to win. (We'd attribute part of the Yankees' downfall to the fact that they had so little starting pitching depth, and only managed to get 8.2 innings out of CC Sabathia through the five game series.)
People can look back fondly on the 2001 champion Diamondbacks and appreciate the extent to which two really good starting pitchers like Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling could carry a team in the playoffs. But from our perspective, it's more fun to have to see a manager pull Phil Coke or Scott Feldman out to pitch important innings.
Managers, schmanagers: We'll confess to having consciously taken an amiable, happy-go-lucky tack when it comes to this year's playoffs, so we don't wring our hands and pound our fists on the upholstery with every managerial decision this post-season. But considering the near-constant uproar that we see on Twitter through the games and in the day-after analysis, we're led to make this conclusion: All four managers remaining in the playoffs are terrible.
Again, we don't necessarily espouse this opinion ourselves. But given the many people who are much smarter than me and, we gather, the remaining bench bosses, it appears that it's pure happenstance and lucky fumbling into success that has allowed Ron Washington, Jim Leyland, Ron Roenicke and Tony LaRussa to outlast their brethren. It's as though Chauncey Gardiner wandered from the grounds crew into the dugout in four different cities, and proclaimed "I like to manage."
This being the case, we wonder: How good or bad a manger is John Farrell? And does it matter? Because if any imbecile can manage a team through to the end of October, we're more than willing to offer up our own services. We imagine we'd look smashing in a pair of baseball pants and a windbreaker.

It's also important for postseason managers to show their team colours aggressively. Ron Washington's specs match the Rangers' colours and it appears he's apart of the Phiten sponsorship scheme. Being next to unintelligable (Leyland and LaRussa) also seems to be a common characteristic ...

Ekman-Larsson scores in OT for Coyotes vs. Bluesby Louie Korac
ST. LOUIS -- Sometimes, a team simply has to tip their hats to the opposing goalie for stealing a game.
The St. Louis Blues found themselves in that scenario with Phoenix Coyotes goalie Mike Smith on Tuesday night.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson's overtime goal made Smith's stellar effort stand up, as the Coyotes pulled out a 3-2 victory against the Blues.
Smith was scintillating for the Coyotes. He did everything possible to keep the Coyotes afloat and give his team a chance to grab two points.
Ekman-Larsson fired a shot past Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak 56 seconds into overtime to help the Coyotes pick up their seventh win in eight games.
The Blues (11-2-3) peppered Smith with shot after shot, but the Phoenix goalie was able to keep 37 of the 39 shots he saw out of the net.
Smith, who picked up his 11th win of the season, bent but didn't break.
"The old rope-a-dope," Smith joked. "Obviously, we're happy with the two points. They can't take those back from us now. That's definitely not the way we want to be as a team this year. When you play really good hockey teams, I think we've got to raise our level."
Coyotes coach Dave Tippett recognized Smith was integral to his team's win.
"There were parts of that game I liked, other parts I really didn't like. We didn't have enough players competing at the speed and level we needed to, but give our goalie credit; he played very well," he said. "We had a few players who really jumped in, and we found a way to get two points."
Ekman-Larsson was one of them. The young defenseman was able to take in Mike Ribeiro's pass and fire a shot through a screen and past Halak.
"It was a great play there by Ribeiro," said Ekman-Larsson, who has four goals, three of them game-winners. "I saw [Shane] Doan was coming in from the corner, so I shot it, and it was perfect."
Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo was on the ice and may have partially screened Halak, who stopped 16 shots, on the play.
"It's obviously a good shot coming down the middle there," Pietrangelo said. "Someone's got to block it. I didn't see what happened up top. I was trying to block the shot. I think I kind of got in the way of Jaro, too, there. Mostly the onus is on us there. Jaro really had no chance. I don't think he saw it. Where he is and how it happened, the exchange, I have to look at it again. You don't want to screen your goalie and not give him the opportunity to see it."
The game-winning goal came on Phoenix's 19th shot.
Mikkel Boedker and David Moss also scored for the Coyotes (13-4-2), and Ribeiro had two assists.
Maxim Lapierre and Roman Polak scored for the Blues, who saw their three-game winning streak snapped.
Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said it was a case of his team not outworking Smith.
"The same thing happened [against] Pittsburgh," Hitchcock said, referring to the Blues' 2-1 victory Saturday. "We won the game (against Pittsburgh), but if we want to get to the next level, we've got to find a solution to outwork the goalie. We did a lot of good things in the second and third period, but we've got to outwork the goalie. It doesn't matter how you get it done. You've just got to get it done. If we want to go to the top echelon and be there and be part of that, that's one of the things we want to see get done."
Polak scored his second of the season when he pinched in from the right point, took a terrific pass from Alexander Steen and beat Smith over the glove on the short side 2:49 into the third period to tie the game 2-2.
The assist extended Steen's career-best and NHL-leading point streak to 11 games. Steen has 10 goals and 14 points during the run.
With the game tied 2-2, Smith made the save of the game, robbing Derek Roy with a glove save with 7:05 remaining in the game after Roy came into the zone with a slick spin move.
Moments later, Smith was up to the task again on Vladimir Tarasenko with a left-pad save and Brenden Morrow barreling down on him.
Smith robbed Roy again 21 seconds into overtime, this time grabbing Roy's backhand in front on a high-percentage scoring chance.
"That was a great move; the puck was kind of bouncing, and he was able to get it between his legs," Smith said. "It was more luck than anything. I think it just ended up in my glove. But I'll take it."
Patrik Berglund also whiffed on an open chance in the third period off a T.J. Oshie feed.
"It's the whole focus of finishing, burying it in the back of the net, not relaxing," Hitchcock said. "Some guys are struggling offensively right now. ... We've got to get them going, but that's pretty much it. We had opportunities. We created a number of offensive opportunities off our work. We really started to skate the second and third period, really gave them trouble and did a great job of keeping the puck away from Smith in the second period, but at the end of the day, you've just got to put it in the net."
Smith made two saves in overtime before Ekman-Larsson's winner.
"I don't love it," said Smith, who's seen 555 shots this season to lead the NHL. "It's just the way things have worked out so far. Obviously, we want to tighten that up and get those shot totals down. But right now, we're finding ways to win games. Right now, we're just happy to get the two points."
Blues captain David Backes credited Smith with a fine game, but also felt he and his teammates needed to finish.
"He made some phenomenal saves," Backes said. "That being said, we've got good players on our team that need to find a shot to get by him, myself especially and maybe we're having a different conversation now."
Lapierre put the Blues ahead with his second goal in three games when he redirected Jay Bouwmeester's wrist shot past Smith 5:53 into the game for a 1-0 lead.
It was the eighth straight game in which the Blues scored the first goal of the game and 13th time in 16 games overall.
But Phoenix closed out the first period with two goals off a pair of St. Louis mistakes.
Moss tied the game when he converted a turnover by Oshie in the defensive zone, snapping a shot from the right circle past Halak at 7:49 of the first period. It was Moss' first goal since he scored against the Edmonton Oilers on April 10, a 26-game span.
Boedker scored his fourth of the season -- all on the road -- after the Blues missed out on a pinch, as Kevin Shattenkirk failed to keep a puck in the offensive zone and the Coyotes came away with a 3-on-1. Boedker took a feed into the slot from Rob Klinkhammer and one-timed a slap shot past Halak with 31 seconds left in the first for a 2-1 Phoenix lead.
"We played a game today that started off pretty slow," Backes said. "I think we liked the way we progressed throughout the game but dug a little hole. We had to give everything we had just to get back tied. You double up a team in shots, you expect to bury a few more and that's upon us to find a way to do that."

For those who are taking Amitriptyline (Elavil), the question is for you. Did you have to bump up the doze periodically to get the relief from the nerve pain? I started 6 years ago on this med at 25 mg. I got a very good relief at that doze. Then 3 years ago I started feeling the pain again so bumped up to 50 mg, again the doze gave me long lasting relief. Now for the past few days I'm feeling the pain again and wonder if should ask the doctor to increase the doze once again. Also once the doze is increased did any one of you try to decrease it after a few months and continued to be pain free?
I'm curious to hear your experiences regarding this drug.
Thanks, rsinha

Right now, though, the news cycle is heading in a different direction. For Lickliter, that can't be a bad thing considering the circumstances of the last few months.

queer_ontario needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 305 designs submitted by 44 freelance designers.
Queer Ontario
Queer Ontario is a new community-based activist group headquartered in Toronto, Ontario established to provide a queer voice and maintain the integrity of the queer liberationist perspective that was championed by CLGRO (Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights in Ontario) http://clgro.org
CLGRO dissolved in 2009 after 35 years of "working towards feminism and bisexual, lesbian and gay liberation by engaging in public struggle for full human rights, by promoting diversity and access, and by strengthening cooperative networks for lesbian, gay and bisexual activism."
Queer Ontario intends to carry forward the legacy of CLGRO using a new model of virtual (e.g. web and social-media) organizing, sharing and activism on a province-wide basis.
Mission: Queer Ontario is a provincially based network of individuals who are members of the gender and sexually diverse populations and their allies committed to liberationist and sex positive principles that focus on questioning, challenging and seeking reform to social norms and laws that control queer people through public education, political action, promoting access and diversity and coalition building.
Our values are: Liberationism, Sex Postive, Gender Identity, and Safety. A PDF summarizing these values has been attached to this brief.
Queer people are members of the gender and sexually diverse populations that include but are not limited to 2-spirited, agender, ambigender, androgyne, asexual, bigender, bisexual, cross-dresser, drag queen, drag king, fluid, gay, gender fluid, genderqueer, intergender, intersex, intrasex, kink, lesbian, non-gendered, omnisexual, pangender, pansexual, polysexual, transgender, transsexual, and transvestite individuals.
We seek a logo that speaks to our values, can be used during a launch event in January 2010, and will become the brand associated with a provincial queer liberation perspective through us on our print and electronic publications.
- representation of a "queer organization" without stereotypical or marginalizing imagery
- emphasis if possible that this is a provincial organization
- avoid graphic elements that represent only a subset of queer communities (e.g. representing only "gay")
- we are looking for a long term relationship with a graphic designer

RMS Titanic
Compared to the stern, the bow of Titanic remains relatively in tact. This new mosaic, which consists of approximately 1,500 high-resolution still images shot in 2010, reveals structural changes that have occurred to the bow section since the last effort to mosaic the wreck. (©2012 RMS Titanic, Inc. Produced by AIVL, WHOI)
What is the RMS Titanic
The Royal Mail Ship (RMS) Titanic was a passenger and mail ship that hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City on April 14, 1912. The ship was carrying more than 2,200 passengers and crew. As a result of the collision, the ship sank in the early morning hours of April 15, taking with it over 1,500 people, making it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.
Titanic was a massive ship—883 feet long, 92 feet wide, and displacing (or weighing) 52,310 long tons (a long ton is 2240 pounds). It was 175 feet tall from the keel to the top of the four stacks or funnels, almost 35 feet of which was below the waterline. The Titanic was taller above the water than most urban buildings of the time. At the time, Titanic was the largest ever movable man-made object. The press labeled the ship "unsinkable."
For more, see the History of the Titanic Feature.
What is its legacy?
Few disasters have had such far-reaching effects on the fabric of society as the sinking of the Titanic. Besides altering the way the North Atlantic passenger trade was conducted, the loss also affected basic attitudes about social justice. In some cases the effects of the changes were immediate; the routes followed by passenger liners were shifted to the south four days after the disaster and an ice patrol was instituted during that same year. For marine science, the discovery of the wreck was the beginning of an era of engineering and technology to explore the deep sea.
Alterations in steamship routes
On 17 April 1912, just two days after the sinking, the liner Carmania sailed from New York on a route 110 miles south of the route it would have followed before the Titanic sank. The United States and Great Britain had negotiated this change by telegraph. On April 19th, the U.S. Hydrographic Office announced an even more drastic change—liners were to follow courses 270 miles south of that followed by the Titanic, increasing the length of the New York to England trip by 9 to 14 hours. This swift shift of the sea lanes was but one symptom of an overall change in attitudes about technology. If the "unsinkable" Titanic could go down so easily, no ship was safe.
Lifeboats for all
Another transformation in the weeks following the Titanic disaster concerned the number of lifeboats carried on passenger ships. The British Board of Trade regulated the number of lifeboats carried aboard British passenger vessels, and its simple rule was that any vessel weighing more than 10,000 tons must carry 16 lifeboats. The Titanic exceeded this requirement, carrying 16 wooden lifeboats plus 4 collapsible boats; all the lifeboats combined could carry just under 1,200 people, or about half those onboard. The regulations of the United States and Germany were tougher, requiring sufficient lifeboats for about two thirds of the total capacity on a ship the size of the Titanic. Since few expected the Titanic to sink, little thought had been given to use of the lifeboats.
In 1914, the International Conference on Safety Of Life At Sea agreed on a treaty that called for every ship to carry sufficient lifeboats for all persons on board. It also mandated lifeboat drills, and that sufficient crew members be trained in manning the boats. Never again would so many die for lack of proper equipment.
International Ice Patrol
Immediately after the sinking of the Titanic, a British ship began patrolling the sea lanes to ensure that the location of ice was known to all ships crossing the Atlantic.
In 1913, two U.S. Navy cruisers monitored the ice and a British vessel conducted some preliminary research on the movements of ice. In April of 1914, two U.S. Coast Guard cutters undertook the first official ice patrol. From 1915 until the present, the International Ice Patrol has continued its mission. The only gaps occurred during the two world wars.
Today, all commercial ships crossing the North Atlantic still radio in their positions and ice sightings, without regard to nationality. This makes the patrol one of the longest running and most successful international efforts in existence.
The rise of deep sea engineering and technology
The 1985 discovery of the Titanic by the joint WHOI & IFREMER teams, and the 1986 WHOI expedition marked a turning point for public awareness of the ocean and for the development of new areas of science and technology.
The development of towed sled vehicles to image the seafloor was only the beginning. In addition to towed sleds, today's robotic vehicles include tethered remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and completely autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The latest is a new hybrid Remotely Operated Vehicle or HROV, is able to operate in two modes—remotely controlled and autonomous. The HROV has been able to travel to the deepest trenches of the ocean.

Unfortunately, not everything on the shop page is good. Check out this article written by "Puck Daddy" about creepy gnomes that were/are on the site. Yes, those are official NHL gnomes. Is there even a demand for these creepy buggers? I digress because the purpose of this article is to make fun of some of the dumbest jersey concepts that are for sale on the 'Shop. Without any further diatribe about the "sinking Red Wings" or injuries or blah blah blah playoff streak in jeopardy, here's a fun look at some terrible NHL jerseys for sale!
5. Reebok Accelerator Premier Jersey
I don't know what possessed someone to run a Red Wings logo through an old fax machine and then slap it on an all-black jersey, but here we are wishing we could carve our eyeballs out. The Microsoft Office '98 WordArt numbers are the cherry on top of this crap sundae. I wonder how many of these are floating around the real world. If you bought this, you are either colour blind or you already own every other Red Wing jersey ever made and just needed this one to complete the collection. Either way, I feel bad money was spent on this. Does anyone else see weird stripes on the arms and at the bottom occasionally? I feel like sometimes they are there but then they aren't.
4. Super Discounts on Jerseys of Former Team Players
This one hits me a little too close to home, but the fact is that sometimes players leave your favorite team. Like a scorned lover posting Facebook pictures because you forgot to unfriend them, this one burns your eyes in a bittersweet way. On one hand, it's still a good looking jersey that's on sale for a ludicrous price. On the other hand, F*%k that player forever for leaving for greener/bluer pastures. Too soon, NHL Shop. Too soon.
3. Fashion Replica Jerseys
This might be the laziest thing I've ever seen in my life, and I live with myself. It's just a team logo with monochrome old-school Pittsburgh Penguin stripes and numbers high on the shoulder. What is fashionable about this f*%king thing? Don't piss away your cash on this thing, just buy a real jersey. Even if it is fifty bucks cheaper, you can't save money on protecting yourself from every day ridicule from your knowledgeable puck buddies. This is some lazy stuff.
2. Veterans Day Practice V-Neck Jersey with Digital Camo
In the field of "Most Likely to Appear on Duck Dynasty" we have the camo jersey. Again, NHL shop offends us by running off a black and white Detroit RED Wing logo, then slaps it on camo. I don't even want to call this lazy. It's stupid. Even worse is that it's a "Veteran's Day" jersey but there's no other goodwill gesture like perhaps donating proceeds towards funding for retired veterans. It's a cheap cash in on a holiday that I thought was meaningful. Barf.
1. "Authentic Edge Jersey"
This one's bad just for the logo on the front of it, but there's more to this choice. Here we have a jersey whose perks read as follows (courtesy of the jersey's page):
- 100% Double-knit polyester
- Authentic tie-down "fight" strap attached inside back of jersey
- Decorated in the team colors
- Imported
- NHL® Shield patch is sewn on the bottom front of the collar fabric insert
- Officially licensed
- Reinforced stitching on all seams and hems
Well, if I wasn't sold on "Imported" now I'm hot and bothered under the Lycratalic collar. I'm still trying to figure out why this is over $120 more than a standard jersey at $300+ a pop. I wouldn't wish that robbery on even a Maple Leafs fan. The price and the missing double stripe at the bottom make this feel like an empty, meaningless purchase. Does anyone NEED a fight strap on their jersey? Presumably they would only ever wear this at home among friends or maybe a game at the ACC. Do people get assaulted frequently at NHL games and have their jerseys yanked over their heads?
These are all pretty nonsensical, terrible sweaters. Have a jersey story of your own? Share it in the comment section below!

|Me. Very happy to have survived my first day being 50.
Fast forward to the year I went to the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point and my dream of being a Forest Ranger vanished in the ether. I really wasn't ready to be away from home and didn't have the tools to be independent. So I failed. It was 1981. A year later I was a floundering 20 year old with no job, no education beyond high school and absolutely NO clue what work I might be able to do. I was blessed that someone gave me an opportunity that lead me on a path to regular office work. I met a boy and I was madly in love. We were going to get married and have a family and live happily ever after. By the time I was 40, in 2002, I'd be a busy mom, wife, etc. Life was amazing.
When I turned 30, in 1992, I was one year out of a disaster of a marriage (not to the boy I fell in love with; he dumped me...LOL), one year into a relationship with a man I was head-over-heels in love with(my current husband), and I was just getting my feet wet in the Financial Industry. I had the world by the *ahem*, on a string, and my future was incredibly bright. I was still getting carded whenever I went into a place that sold liquor because I looked so young. It was very aggravating, but even then I knew there'd come a time when I'd be thankful for my youthful looks. We (my future husband and I) planned our future out into and through our retirement and I looked forward to a wonderful life.
My 40th was challenging. We'd suffered two significant personal losses the year before: my 69 year old father-in-law and my 45 year old cousin, Pam. I'd suffered a professional loss by being laid off from work. In the years between 1982 and 2001, I had not been unemployed. It was new territory for me and the economy was making my job search more challenging. I felt like I was adrift in unfamiliar waters. But we had a great family network, and I felt confident I would find work that would support us until it was time to retire. Once again, that time period between my current birthday and retirement was glossed over.
I can't begin to list the insanity that has been the last 10 years. A cataclysm of chaos. I don't know why, but I often wonder. We (my husband and I) no longer give voice to the question, "What else can possibly happen?" because the minute we ask it, something else happens. And honestly, I've been too busy dodging the rocks the Universe has been winging at us to give much thought to what it might be like being 50. The short list: my 25 year old niece, mother of three small children, died of postpartum cardiomyopathy. My 84 year old aunt died a month later. My husband left a secure job to go to work for his sister, and then seven years later was forced to leave. I haven't had consistent work. My husband's family had a falling out and they are now estranged. My parents moved in, and then out, of our house. They chose to move to Prescott, AZ even though my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. I've had 'friends' choose not to be part of my life. I've come to understand that listening to my litany of chaos is too uncomfortable for most people, no matter how supportive I am toward them. Heck, *I'm* not comfortable with the chaos I have so expecting other people, with their own chaos, to embrace mine is a little unrealistic isn't it?
Now there's 50. It's 2012 and I'm not quite sure how things are supposed to go. There's still the chaos, but I'm learning how to manage it. I'm more physically fit than I was when I was 40, or even 30 for that matter. I'm blessed with genes that keep me looking much younger than I am. I have a couple of people in my life who I know I can count on, and I am reminding myself that it's the quality, not the quantity of relationships that matter most. I am abundantly aware now that my passion for the people in my life and the things that I do is often mistaken for arrogance and a self-centered mindset. I'm neither of those things. My only goal is to see the people that I care about be happy: I will do anything in my power to help make that happen.
I've found a voice I didn't realize I had in this blog. I want to use that voice to share my journey through this age I never gave much thought to at all. But first I feel the need to express my gratitude to those who read this. I know there's a glut of material in a huge variety of forms out there.You chose to read what I'm writing. If you were here, I'd hug you (it's what I do). Instead, accept my thanks for being here.
I've found a niche in the work I love to do and I'm going to strive to turn it into a viable business model. It scares the crud outta me, but I have to at least give it a try. While I wish that I could be an Archivist forever, it's very likely that by the time I turn 60 I will not have my current job. But I've found a number of people who've already seen the benefit in having their own material professionally archived and it's something I feel passionately about. So why not?
OK Universe, thanks for the journey so far and the lessons along the way. I've found 50. There are plenty of women who I believe may well have had a similar sense of disorientation at this age. There's Harriet Anderson. If her story doesn't make you feel like a slacker, then no one's will. Except maybe Ernestine Shepherd. She didn't START until she was in her mid-50s and now she's a competitive body builder at 70+. These are just a couple of the women who now inspire me to find my passion and run with it (proverbially speaking).
I am thankful. I'm thankful the Universe has made me extremely adept at dodging rocks. Not all of them, mind you. Some have found their mark and are painful. But for the most part I'm more nimble and agile than I've ever been before. Now I have to wonder what 60's gonna look like...

Liberty News
FROM LICKS TO KICKS: Ice cream shop now used for kickboxing, other fitness classes
Finals week can often be a stressful time for students as they prepare for winter break. Some residents are finding time to relieve that stress by exercising in Liberty University's new multi-purpose aerobics room. Recently, workers transformed the old Mountain Frost Creamery ice cream shop at Campus North into a fitness room, complete with a Sprung Floor that is ideal for a variety of physical workouts.
Classes being offered are Pilates and core workouts, hardcore aerobics and kickboxing. In the near future, Liberty's campus recreation department hopes to add exercise balls, punching bags and spin bikes to the area, allowing for a unique fitness experience. There will also be hours available for students to use the room at their own convenience.
"We'll do a lot more of the kickboxing classes, the high intensity things that [rubber flooring] doesn't protect your joints from," said Andrea Sherwood, director of student centers. "We want to have a lot of open time for the students to use it, as well."
The new aerobics room is located in the LaHaye Student Union, Liberty's fitness center which includes a six-lane indoor pool, five-court basketball gymnasium, rock climbing wall, weight room and cardio room.


text: Calling it a "fight" is a bit misleading—the participants were only assessed two minute roughing minors—but the efficiency by which it was commenced is worth noting, especially since Sean Avery didn't appear to actually start this fight with the Penguins' Tyler Kennedy. (He took a more active part in restarting the bout as soon as he & Kennedy left the penalty box.) This is why we lamented his departure from the Rangers, and why we applaud his return: Sean Avery brings the crazy, and won't make you wait. [MSG]

Harbaugh Readies for Next Film
by Jim Amidon
August 19, 2010
Harbaugh III: Thy Loyal Sons
When he was a senior at Wabash in the fall of 2005, Russ Harbaugh turned plenty of heads with his pinpoint accuracy as the Little Giants' starting quarterback. The soft-spoken gamer threw for a Wabash record 3,500 yards and 29 touchdowns in leading the College to an 11-1 season.
But perhaps Harbaugh turned even more heads as a filmmaker. His two documentaries —
Beside Myself
(2005) and
Thy Loyal Sons
(2006) — ignited conversation and debate about the very essence of Wabash — masculinity, identity, and relationships.
The films earned Harbaugh the Phi Beta Kappa Prize in his senior year, and helped him gain acceptance in a master's degree program in film at Columbia University.
Today, Harbaugh stands at an important crossroads in his career. He's preparing to direct his master's thesis project, a 30-minute film called
Rolling on the Floor Laughing
, which he intends to shoot at his childhood home in Evansville. But in order to do so, the former Wabash English major must raise a pretty hefty production budget.
"Like most films by first-time directors, the need for financing is tremendous," said Harbaugh in his
film proposal
. "With a budget upwards of $35,000, our only recourse is to ask for help, to invite the willing and interested to share in the exhilarating task of raising this project to its feet."
Rolling on the Floor Laughing
is scheduled to enter production in just three months. The project is deeply personal for Harbaugh.
"We're shooting in Indiana, in the home where I grew up, from a script that began merely as a conversation between a loving mother (mine) and her curious, needling son (me)," said Harbaugh. "It's a project inspired by films with modern, revisionist instincts toward autobiography — films like Maurice Pialat's
We Will Not Grow Old Together
— films that wrestle with reality while abiding the structures of fiction."
Harbaugh gives a brief description of his new film: "
Rolling on the Floor Laughing
is the story of a love-triangle between a middle-aged widow, a new lover in from out of town, and the woman's grown sons with whom she shares a candid, sometimes unsettling intimacy. The story takes place over the course of a birthday weekend, the night before and the day of a party."
Harbaugh has excelled in his graduate work at Columbia. He earned honors distinction in both screenwriting and directing, and had a celebrated apprenticeship under writer/director Eric Mendelsohn
(pictured with Russ)
. Harbaugh worked with Mendelsohn on the film
3 Backyards
, which won the directing prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
"It's been a startling education, and has shown me the kind of personal and profound art that can be created when a group of interested friends and family and friends of friends and friends of family decide that they want to help," Harbaugh said.
Harbaugh has assembled a proposal kit with information on how friends and family can make donations to support
Rolling on the Floor Laughing
. He's set up the fund-raising process so that all contributions are tax deductible.
For information on contributing, click here
During his junior year at Wabash, Harbaugh explored Wabash's history as a college for men and its many coeducation studies in
Beside Myself
. The 30-minute film also served as a metaphor for Harbaugh, who struggled through a difficult junior football season and was trying to work through his relationship with his twin brother, Barry.
A standing-room-only crowd of over 300 turned out for the film's screening in Salter Hall.
A year later — and following his record-shattering senior football season — he produced another film,
Thy Loyal Sons
, which followed three Wabash students in their daily routines at the College. That film examined issues of labels and the compartmentalization of Wabash. Harbaugh told the stories of an African American football player, a fraternity man going through Sphinx Club rush, and an openly gay theater major.
Alumni and friends interested in learning more about Harbaugh's thesis film,
Rolling on the Floor Laughing,

What was only supposed to be a one-week visit to New York for an international exhibition has turned into about 25 years of success for Long Island City artist Luba Lukova.
As a young girl in Bulgaria, Lukova never had a doubt as to what she wanted to be when she grew up. Influenced by her grandmother who was an artist, Lukova began to attend art classes and then graduated from an art academy.
Through an invite from Colorado State University, where school officials had seen some of her early artwork, Lukova came to New York for an organized exhibition featuring artists from all over the world.
Her initial idea was to stay in New York for a week and then return to Bulgaria, but she decided to stay indefinitely, and in 1991, she began drawing illustrations for the book review section of The New York Times. She then moved on and drew for the publication's Op-Ed section covering subjects such as the Middle East.
These illustrations opened up doors for Lukova, exposing her to a larger audience, which got her into theatre work creating posters, and years later she even got a call from then-presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign to use one of her images months before his inauguration.
"It was just a miracle. I never went back [to Bulgaria]," she said. "For a young artist, it was a mind-blowing experience and when I saw the reaction of the people, it was really very exciting for me."
Lukova's pieces, whether they are on a canvas or theatre poster, all convey social and political issues in what she calls a "simple and accessible way." She tells a whole story with just a few colors and images and creates visual metaphors for viewers to take in.
"[My artwork] involves thinking and the viewer's participation," she said. "All of my work is like that — it's always provoking stuff. I try to make it accessible and bring something to the contemporary viewer that can stop them and make them think."
Her "Social Justice" poster portfolio, the first publication from her own publishing company, has gotten her national and international acclaim. Currently some of her work is part of a show at the Museum of Modern Art and Denver Art Museum.
After moving out of Manhattan following 9/11, Lukova has been working and living in the booming art scene found in Long Island City. Last year she took part in the LIC Arts Open festival, which introduced her to a community she has now become a part of and loves.
"I think it's a great group of artists with a lot of energy," she said. "The art community here is growing and it is so huge."
This year Lukova designed the poster for the LIC Arts Open, and her exhibition "Drama on Paper: Posters for the Stage" can be found at The Local at 13-02 44th Ave. throughout the festival.
LIC ARTS OPEN POSTER © Luba Lukova
"I'm excited to be a part of it again," Lukova said. "I think what [the festival organizers] do is very admirable and I hope we will keep the community here and we will expand. Because New York without the arts would be a very sad picture. We don't just want New York to be the city with museums; we need the real art here."

Food in Mexico: Floating lunch in Xochilmilco
According to my guidebook, 'Xochimilco is a throwback to the capital's Aztec origins, with its canals and "floating" nursery gardens'. Apparently the Aztecs created these floating gardens or chinampas to grow various vegetables, fruits and flowers in order to supply the capital Tenochtitlán. If you look at old maps, you can see that Tenochtitlán was a small town surrounded by lots of water. To overcome this shortage of farmland, the Aztecs developed a system of 'floating gardens' that are rooted by willow trees. Xochimilco is on a southern edge of Ciudad de Mexico, and a popular destination for Mexican families to spend their weekend. We went there after a lovely morning at Museo Dolores Olmedo Patiño (where I spotted these incredibly rare, incredibly expensive and not particularly pretty hairless pre-Hispanic dogs Xoloitzcuintle!).
You rent a colourfully decorated trajinera or a Mexican gondola/punt and a punter and spend a leisurely hour and half floating on the canal system. And just enjoy yourself. Should you need some entertainment, then there are plenty of musicians, including mariachi singers, who volunteer to break the silence - in our case two cylophone players:
Should you get hungry, there's no need to despair either. Every now and then a floating 'restaurant' would pass by and offer you something, whether it's refreshments, tortillas or maize:
We also spotted few boats with large families on board, who had brought along their cooks who were serving them food on the boat. Again, quoting my guidebook, the punts, 'packed with large groups or families, combined with countless flower- and food-sellers in canoes to create watery traffic jams. But this is Mexico, and chaos is part of the colorful picture'. As we were in Xochimilco on a Thursday afternoon, it was quite peaceful and relaxing. I really enjoyed the trip, but I'm afraid I would have found the full show on the weekends a bit too noisy and chaotic. I am Estonian after all:)

A floating restaurant? I love the sound of that.
I'm enjoying reading about the history and culture.

I love mma too! One of my fighters has UFC aspirations. He's a wrestler with great submissions. I taught him how to strike. He's going to Royce Gracies school in Tampa for a month.
I'm watching UFC on Spike right now.
Boxing. Local Fight or Pro Fight?
I didn't mention Boxing because there really aren't any good fighters to watch these days. A local fight is different when there is that personal interest, but other than that, there are no pro fighters that I'm interested in watching.
