Erykah Badu's "Tucan"-Toting Stalker Arrested
Erykah Badu's 'Tucan'-Toting Stalker Arrested
Most singers miss performances by using the lame "exhaustion" excuse. But not Erykah Badu -- she still made a SXSW gig last night in Austin even though an alleged stalker had barricaded Erykah inside her home.
Badu used the all-powerful Twitter to update fans, saying "Police just apprehended a stalker in front of my house. Stay tuned to details."
Erykah went on to say the woman had been outside of her house multiple times -- and she had "several misc. items spread out in the grass. Blue shutters, a rabbit, a tucan and a sketch book."
The lady was "pepper sprayed and cuffed" by cops -- and filling out the police report made Erykah late for the gig.
Waiting for your permission to load the comments.

Learning Index >> Ceramic Decoration: a selective guide to pots in the collection of the Crafts Study Centre
No 43: Teapot, 1981 (P.82.10)
This cane-handled teapot is recognisable as a classic David Leach piece, perfected over decades. It is thrown in porcelain of the potter's own recipe (marketed by Podmore's) and cut with very slightly curving flutes on the vertical part of the body. The glaze is a pale green celadon, inside and out. The teapot relies on the sharply cut flutes for texture and surface interest which come from the fall of light on the surface.

Sacramento, Calif- Three former UCSB track and field athletes competed in the USA Championships this past weekend at Sacramento State. Barbara Nwaba, Derek Masterson and Ryan Martin, a trio of former Big West Champions, left their mark on the championship meet.
Barbara Nwaba captured the silver medal in the women's heptathlon in spectacular fashion. Nwaba recorded three personal bests in the seven event competition. At the half-way point Nwaba was sitting at 3802 points as the athletes went into the club house after the first day of competition- a world class first day.
Nwaba exploded off the long jump board on her second attempt of day two, sailing to a new personal best of 19'9. She finished the day strong and went onto establish a new personal best of 6307 points- bettering her previous best of 6043.
Former Cal Poly Mustang, Sharon Day captured the heptathlon title with a score of 6470
Nwaba's breakthrough has serious national and world implications as she exceeded the current IAAF "A" Standard of 6100 by over 200 points! Next summer the 15th IAAF World Championships will be held in Beijing, China. Nwaba has achieved the A standard.
Nwaba's score is now the 14th best ever by an American in the heptathlon. Only 15 American women have ever exceeded 6300 in the event.
An interesting fact is that the #2 American, Jane Frederick (6803) was a former Gaucho Assistant Coach under current Director Pete Dolan.
Nwaba will now have the option to compete in the Thorpe Cup (USA vs. Germany Dual) in Marburg, Germany or in the Pan American Cup, held in Ottawa, Canada.
Nwaba's marks were:
13.63, 5'10, 47'8.5, 23.92 (3802) 19'9, 143'6, 2:13.76
In the men's decathlon, Derek Masterson put together a consistent two days work and found himself running for a place on the US National Team with one event to go. Masterson answered the call and went on to record a ninth place finish with a score of 7423.
Trey Hardee of Nike won the meet with a score of 8599.
The top ten finishers will represent the US in either the Thorpe Cup or the Pan American Cup. Masterson will wait to hear which team he will be selected to compete on.
Masterson finished day one sitting in 12th overall. He flexed his muscle on day two by placing in the top three in the discus and pole vault and fired a solid javelin throw off to steadily move up spots. His 1500m time of 4:43.31 was the second fastest of his career.
Masterson's marks were:
11.55, 21'10.25, 45'4.5, 6'1.5, 50.86 (3656) 15.33, 145'2, 15'5, 194'7, 4:43.31
In the men's 800m, Ryan Martin went on to finish 6th. But not without a bit of drama. Sitting in mid-pack at the 200m point, two runners got tied up in the peloton and a crash ensued. Martin, in an effort to avoid the collision came to a near dead stop on the turn. He re-accelerated without going down but it was too late as the lead pack sped off.
Martin finished in 1:52.62.
Only four runners recovered enough to break the 1:50 barrier in the race.
Duane Solomon of Saucony won in 1:44.30.
Martin ran qualifying rounds of 1:47.43 in the prelims and 1:47.65 in the semis. He will now turn his attention to the European circuit for the remainder of the summer.

IDT, Michigan's only professional tap and jazz company, will present its annual concert at Hope College on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 25 and 26, at 8 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.
IDT, Michigan's only professional tap and jazz company, will present its annual concert at Hope College on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 25 and 26, at 8 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.
IDT, formerly InSync Dance Theatre, is an affiliate of the department of dance at Hope. The company is led by artistic directors Rosanne Barton-DeVries and Ray Tadio of the Hope dance faculty. The performance will feature a variety of works created by Barton-DeVries, Tadio and other artists.
One of the pieces being premiered, "Bodytalk," was created especially for IDT by Japanese choreographer Hiroko Maeda. "Bodytalk" was created as a testament of the power of movement expression. After a major career-threatening injury, Maeda reaffirmed her love for dance by choreographing the piece. The work was made possible through grants from the college's Patrons for the Arts and Cultural Affairs.
One of Tadio's pieces, "Skeehduhdup," is a jazz work inspired by the high-rolling image of Las Vegas. With its use of props depicting a gambling venue, the first section of the piece goes over the top in its presentation of male and female stereotypes, while the second section is purely fun jazz dancing.
Tadio's second piece, "Kiss," set to the music of Prince, displays moves and partnering from a duet who are in the pursuit of a simple kiss.
A solo set by guest artist Sharon Wong from New York City's AileySchool will also be performed. "Attack from Within," set on IDT dancer Robyn Anderson, speaks not only of the physical effects of war, but of the inner pain and torment it brings to its victims.
The company will also perform three pieces by Barton-DeVries.
Her "Zion's Road Signs" presents orchestrated tap work that layers the dynamics of tap dance with the imagery of Greek iconography. The dancers will carry complex rhythmic phrases even as they tell the story of choosing a journey that leads into light. The work was presented in July 2007 at the Orthodox Academy of Crete - Greece. The second movement features a solo by Rosanne Barton-DeVries.
Barton-DeVries's next piece, "Jingles," celebrates the body as percussion instrument. The a cappella hand-slapping, foot-tapping, cheek-popping, back-drumming piece invites audience and performer alike to engage the simple joy of creating rhythm. The work is unique in the company repertoire as dancers accompany their tap dance with song.
Her third piece, the audience favorite "Tuxedo Junction," which is set to the traditional jazz-standard, shows classical tap work that captures the heat of rhythm tap and the cool of the club scene.
Together, Barton-DeVries and former Hope student Peter Hammer will premiere their work "Opa," which features some of the fastest tapping in the Midwest. Hammer will also premiere his solo "They," which will stretch the imagination and ask why "what they say" is accepted as real and true.
Finally, the audience will be invited to join in the "Shim Sham" at the conclusion of the concert. The "Shim Sham" is the national anthem of tap dance. Tap concerts around the world conclude with the piece, which dates from the 1920s.
Tickets are $7 for regular admission and $5 for children and senior citizens, and are on sale at the ticket office in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse. The office is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be called at (616) 395-7890. If available, tickets will also be at the Knickerbocker during the two performance evenings.
The DeVos Fieldhouse is located at 222 Fairbanks Ave., between Ninth and 11th streets. The Knickerbocker Theatre is in downtown Holland at 86 E. Eighth St

Marking the slowest market conditions reported since January 1991, sales of newly built single-family homes declined 2.9% in November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 407,000 units, the U.S. Commerce Department reported recently.
"The fact that new-home sales continue to decline even in the face of substantial builder incentives, very favorable mortgage rates, and improved housing affordability shows how fearful consumers have become about making a home purchase in the current economic environment," says National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Chairman Sandy Dunn, a home builder from Point Pleasant, W.Va. "That's why it is absolutely necessary for the government to take action that will reassure home buyers and stimulate demand in order to help revive home sales and economic growth."
According to NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe, these numbers indicate continuing downward momentum in home sales activity. "Sales of new homes are down 11.2% to date for the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter. Meanwhile, our builder members are reporting worsening market conditions and sales expectations going forward, despite doing everything they can to get sales moving again and making progress in terms of reducing their inventories of unsold product."
To counteract this grim reality, Crowe insists that more needs to be done. "Government interventions in the form of an enhanced home buyer tax credit and a mortgage-rate buy-down have worked before, and can work again, to reassure buyers, kick-start demand, and help turn the economy back in the right direction," he says.
The inventory of new homes for sale declined for the 19th consecutive month in November to 374,000 units — from 402,000 units in October. The months' supply at the current sales pace declined to 11.5 from a revised 11.8 in October, which was a record high.
Regionally, new-home sales were mixed in November, with two regions posting gains and two posting declines. The Northeast and West each regained some ground, with 14.3% and 11% gains, respectively, while the Midwest and South posted declines of 16.4% and 7.1%, respectively. All four regions were down by more than 25% on a year-over-year basis.

Freshman forward Cody Gut
NEW BEDFORD, MA -Visiting Salem State scored three shorthanded goals and two power play goals and defeated the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's hockey team, 6-1, in a Massachusetts Collegiate Athletic Conference game at the Stephan Hetland Memorial Ice Arena Thursday evening.
The Vikings scored three times in the first period to take a 3-0 lead. Junior forward Nick Lampson (Groton, MA/Jersey Hitmen-EJHL), who scored four goals in the game, was responsible for the first two, scoring unassisted on a breakaway with the Vikings shorthanded at 1:53 of the first period, and firing home a pass from sophomore forward Eric DeFelice (Chalfont, PA/Manhattanville) with SSU on the power play at 7:25.
DeFelice made it 3-0 at 12:24, flipping home the rebound of a shot by senior forward Giancarlo Capodanno (Mountainside, NJ/UMD) at the 12:24 mark.
DeFelice scored the only goal of the second period, breaking away for a shorthanded goal at 8:23. Lamson was denied his third goal when UMD sophomore goaltender Ben Vandervies (Hanna, AB/Kelowna Rockets-KJHL) stopped his attempt on a penalty shot at 14:26 of the second period after UMD was whistled for having a player other than the goaltender covering the puck in the crease. Vandervies replaced UMD starting goaltender Ryan Williams (So. Milton, ON/Huntsville Otters-OPJHL) after DeFelice's second goal.
Freshman forward Cody Gut (Chichester, NH/Boston Jr. Bulldogs-AtJHL) put UMass Dartmouth on the scoreboard when he flipped his own rebound past SSU sophomore goaltender Ryan Sutliffe (Grand Forks, ND/Helena Bighorns-NORPAC) at 3:41 of the final period. Junior defenseman Zach Hepler (Sarver, PA/Dixie Beehives-OPJHL) assisted.
Lamson single-handedly finished the coring, getting a power play goal at 14:46 of the third period, and breaking away for a shorthanded goal at 16:41.
"We turned the puck over on the power play, we shot the puck into their pads when we had a chance, and we gave up three shorthanded goals and two power play goals," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach John Rolli. "It just wasn't out night. We expected a better effort than we got. We have to put this behind us and get ready for Westfield State, which has been playing well lately, on Saturday, which will be Senior Day and Alumni Day."
The Vikings out shot the Corsairs, 35-27. Sutliffe made 26 saves for SSU, while Williams and Vandervies combined to stop 29 shots for UMD.
UMass Dartmouth dropped to 13-7-1 and 8-5-1 in the MASCAC with the defeat, while Salem State improved to 12-6-3 and 9-2-3 in MASCAC play with the victory. UMD will return to action when they host Westfield Saturday. Salem State will host Plymouth State Saturday.

One thing that was prominent to me in her diary was this wonderful description of what she interpreted love, romantic love, to be. At the time it wasn't particularly relevant to my life but I understood that this piece was so insightful and so beautiful and written by someone of such a young age, I felt compelled to write it down knowing I would want to some day go back to it. That day has not yet arrived, but I want to share with you the small paragraph I copied out from Anne's diary into my own with an element of intrigue as an 11 year old girl discovering who I was going to be.
"Love, what is love? I don't think you can really put it into words. Love is understanding someone, caring for him, sharing his joys and sorrows. This eventually includes physical love. You've shared something, given something away and received something in return. Whether or not you are married, whether or not you have a baby. Losing your virtue doesn't matter, as long as you know that as long as you live you'll have someone at your side who understands you, and who doesn't have to be shared with someone else."I can't really explain why I felt the need to remember these words. I just know that I had an inkling these would and do mean something to me. And I understand them completely.

Japan approved on Monday incentives for renewable energy that could unleash billions of dollars in clean-energy investment and help the world's third-biggest economy shift away from a reliance on nuclear power after the Fukushima disaster.
Industry Minister Yukio Edano approved the introduction of feed-in tariffs (FIT), which means higher rates will be paid for renewable energy. The move could expand revenue from renewable generation and related equipment to more than $30 billion by 2016, brokerage CLSA estimates.
The subsidies from July 1 are one of the few certainties in Japan's energy landscape, where the government has gone back to the drawing board to write a power policy after the Fukushima radiation crisis, the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986.
Read the rest of the story: Japan approves renewable subsidies in shift from nuclear power.

OU Wins Third Straight Big 12 Title
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- By the time Mossis Madu sprinted into the end zone in a half-empty stadium, Oklahoma was done making its point.
Here's what Sam Bradford and the high-scoring Sooners wanted to drive home: They belong in the BCS championship game.
The No. 4 Sooners did that with a 62-21 blowout of No. 19 Missouri for the Big 12 title Saturday night.
Taking advantage of an opportunity many felt it didn't deserve, the highest-scoring team in major college football history romped to a third straight conference crown and became the first to reach 60 points in five consecutive games in 89 years.
"We were tired about hearing everyone talking about how we didn't deserve to be in the game," said Bradford, who passed for 384 yards and two touchdowns. "It was a big motivator for us.
"I don't see how we could not be No. 1 tomorrow."
No need to worry, two is just as good. And if all goes accordingly Sunday, Oklahoma (12-1) will be in the top two of the Bowl Championship Series standings, looking at a title game matchup against No. 2 Florida on Jan. 8 in Miami.
Touted as the best two conferences in college football this season, it seems appropriate their champions will play for the national title.
For Oklahoma and coach Bob Stoops, it'll be their fourth appearance in a BCS national championship game. The Sooners won their first try in 2001 against Florida State, but have lost their last two - to LSU after the 2003 season and to Southern California after the 2004 campaign.
The Sooners' losing streak in BCS games overall is four, taking some of the luster off a coach who earned the nickname "Big Game Bob" early in his tenure.
No one would argue with Big 12 Bob, though. Stoops improved to 6-1 in the conference title game. No other Big 12 team has won more than two in the 13-year history of the league.
This one was over by halftime. By then Bradford had already put up Heisman-worthy numbers, with 240 yards and two TD passes, and the Sooners led 38-7. Along the way they zoomed past Hawaii's NCAA record 656 points set in 2006.
The Sooners kept trying to put up more points until the end. Soon after Bradford threw an long incompletion into the end zone, Madu dashed 37 yards for the final points with 3:33 left.
Chase Daniel and Missouri (9-4) never really had a chance and for the second season in a row, they lost the Big 12 title game to Oklahoma.
"This one hurts the worst," said Daniel, who threw two interceptions and lost a fumble while throwing for 255 yards and three TDs. "My senior year, we can't get it done, and too many turnovers on my part. You can't win a game against a team like that turning the football over."
Oklahoma became the first team to score at least 60 in five straight games since Tulsa in 1919, according to STATS LLC.
"Sam Bradford again is just sensational," Stoops said. "The defense really stepped up. We had a huge lead before they gave up anything in the second half."
Even Boomer and Sooner, the white ponies who pull the Boomer Schooner around after OU scores, cut out early. They took a short trot after Jimmy Stevens kicked a 30-yard field goal that made it 41-7 with 9:00 left in the third quarter and called it a night.
Bradford, injured non-throwing hand and all, didn't have it that easy. He was still playing in the fourth quarter and finished with a Big 12 championship game record for yards passing and completions (34).
"We were in a championship game and we were going to play to the end," Stoops said.
Expect the sophomore Bradford to be in New York next Saturday when the Heisman Trophy is handed out, along with fellow Big 12 quarterbacks Colt McCoy of Texas and Graham Harrell of Texas Tech.
Maybe, Texas can beat Oklahoma in that competition. Surely it won't make it any easier for the Longhorns to watch the Sooners, a team they beat in October 45-35, play for the national title.
Oklahoma and Texas finished in a three-way tie for the Big 12 South title with Texas Tech, but the Sooners' victory over Texas Tech, combined with Tech's win against Texas, made head-to-head moot. According to Big 12 rules, the poll voters and computer ratings used by the BCS were left to break the deadlock, and the Sooners got the nod.
"Everybody has their opinion, some are different than others," said Stoops, who has done his best to avoid getting drawn into campaigning for his team the way Texas coach Mack Brown has. "That's a pretty convincing win. If that doesn't make a statement ... then you'll find a reason why it wasn't good enough."
Texas fans have done all they could to remind anyone paying attention about their team's victory in Dallas, setting up Web sites, handing out signs and flying banners from planes - including one over Arrowhead Stadium before the Big 12 title game that read ''Enjoy the BeatByTexas.com Bowl."
Yes, the Longhorns also beat Missouri in the regular season, 56-31.
But it wasn't enough to combat the Sooners' dominance. Since losing to Texas, Oklahoma has won seven straight games by a combined score of 419-205.
The numbers were staggering again Saturday night. The Sooners put up 627 yards, Chris Brown and Madu, the third-stringer playing because DeMarco Murray injured his knee on the opening kickoff, each ran for more than 100 yards and three scores. The defense, led by linebacker Travis Lewis , held Missouri 24 points below its average and forced three turnovers.
"Hopefully, the people who watched this game tonight, we made an impression on them," said Lewis, who had 13 tackles.
What's working for the Sooners these days? "Everything," Stoops said. No way to argue about that.

Updated each weekday morning and following games, Boomer Bytes is your quick guide to Sooners in the news:
Berry Tramel of the Oklahoman: "Soon enough, here came the Oklahoma avalanche we've come to expect in this video-game season of 2008. Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, field goal, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. 62-21. Another Sooner rout. Another 60-point performance, five in a row.
John Hoover of the Tulsa World: "If Texas fans wanted to keep sending airplanes to Oklahoma games, maybe they should have made it a squadron of bombers. It's too late now for such shenanigans. The Sooners crushed Missouri 62-21 on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium, winning their unprecedented third consecutive..."
Gregg Doyel of CBS: "Hey, Texas. Hey, USC. Hey, anyone and everyone who doubted Oklahoma belonged in the Big 12 title game, and going forward, in the BCS title game: Any questions? This was your answer. "We wanted to prove a point," said OU quarterback Sam Bradford. Innocent as charged. This was a 62-21 demolition..."
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "By halftime, a motivated Oklahoma had become the highest-scoring team in college football history, reaching 678 points for the season and surpassing the previous standard of 656 set by Hawaii in 2006. They finished the game with 702 points. By halftime, Heisman Trophy candidate Bradford..."
Scott Wright of the Oklahoman: "A team would have to win every Big 12 Championship game between now and 2013 to match what the Oklahoma Sooners have accomplished in this game. The Sooners won their sixth Big 12 Conference championship, all in the last nine years, including three straight. No other conference..."
Tim Griffin of ESPN: "The Sooners produced two interceptions, a fumble recovery and two sacks. They were able to harrass Daniel balance throughout the game as they defeated the Tigers with a masterful defensive performance in their second-straight Big 12 title game victory over them. Missouri was limited to 66 yards rushing..."
From the Kansas City Star: "Oklahoma captured its third straight championship and sixth in the conference's 13 years. Nobody else has more than two trophies. The Sooners likely are headed to their fourth national championship-game appearance under coach Bob Stoops -- they'll know when the announcement..."
Dave Curtis of the Sporting News: "Dolphins Stadium will play host to the Bob Stoops Bowl on Jan. 8. Stoops, the Oklahoma coach and former Florida defensive coordinator, will be the popular subplot in almost-certain Oklahoma-Florida matchup. But the game is full of other intriguing plotlines, namely which defense..."
Clay Horning of the Norman Transcript: "Any questions? Really, are there? What more could anybody want from this team? Balance? There was balance on a night the Sooners rolled up 627 yards, 243 of it on the ground, even 114 of it from Mossis Madu, who had no idea he's get anywhere near 15 carries, but that's how it went..."
From the Kansas City Star: "Florida vs. Oklahoma in the BCS national championship game. Bob Stoops against his former employer. The Sooners return to the site of Stoops' greatest victory and one of his most embarrassing defeats. The story lines pile up. But just in case, pay attention to the announcement of the BCS bowls..."
Pat Forde of ESPN: "But the mauling of Missouri ran the Sooners' winning streak to seven, all of them overwhelming. In a league rife with pyrotechnic offenses, Oklahoma's stands alone. It has rampaged to 702 points this season -- the most single-season points in FBS history. Still, Oklahoma's presumptive place in the BCS title..."
Berry Tramel of the Oklahoman: "OU fans: A. Another trip to Kansas City, another great turnout by the Sooner swarm, estimated at 20,000. Juaquin Iglesias: A. The smooth flanker had nine catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns, including six catches for third-down conversions. Maclin Containment: B. The Sooners..."

10 hotel rooms where history was made
By Anthea Gerrie, CNNGo • Updated 5th March 2012
View Gallery
6 Pictures
Keith Richards ejects his TV, Ian Fleming creates James Bond, Castro takes on Cuba -- sometimes a hotel room is more than a place to sleep
The best hotel rooms don't just have history, they have stories.
You get a soft bed, an oversized tub and a chance to see through the eyes of some of history's cultural protagonists.
Also on CNNGo: Best city hotel rooms with a view
Keith Richards' TV toss: Andaz West Hollywood
You'd never know from the sleek, modern lines that this was formerly the Continental Hyatt House -- a.k.a Riot House -- so nicknamed for the hair-raising antics of out-of-control rockers.
This is where Keith Richards threw a TV off his 11th-floor balcony in 1975, Jim Morrison hung from a window by his fingertips and Axl Rose tossed steaks to crowds of adoring fans gathered outside on Sunset Strip.
One reason the hotel is unrecognizable since its refurb is that the balconies are gone, replaced by glassed-in den areas, lest a new generation of entertainers gets any rowdy ideas.
But, touchingly, Hyatt, which still operates the property, has paid tribute to the hotel's hell-raising heritage in the hotel's RH (Riot House) restaurant, which still feeds a modern-day rocker or two.
Andaz West Hollywood
, 8401 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood; sunset-view rooms from US$350
Oscar Wilde arrested: The Cadogan, London, England
It looks genteel enough for your maiden aunt, but The Cadogan, in the heart of London's Knightsbridge shopping district, was struck by scandal within a few years of opening in 1887.
Oscar Wilde was arrested in room 118 on April 6, 1895 for a homosexual act, and subsequently sent to jail. And Edward VII's mistress, the actress Lillie Langtry, continued to sleep in her old bedroom long after her former home had become part of the hotel.
These days, despite being surrounded by foreign brand names like Gucci, Tiffany, Armani and Valentino, The Cadogan feels like a little piece of England forever suspended in the 19th century.
The Cadogan
, 75 Sloane St., London, England; room 118 from US$425

Castro revolts: Hotel Nacional de Cuba, Havana, Cuba
Within barely a quarter-century of opening in 1930, this hotel had launched a revolution.
Fidel Castro set up a cell in the depths of the building, which was the epitome of pre-revolutionary decadence in Cuba, and guests fled from the ballroom in their sequins and tuxedos in 1959 as news spread that his coup had triumphed.
It was not the first notorious event the hotel had witnessed; in 1946 it was occupied by the heads of all the major U.S. mafia families, and it was here that Meyer Lansky is said to have authorized the execution of Bugsy Siegel.
The gangsters were followed by the Duke of Windsor, Nelson Rockefeller, Ernest Hemingway and a slew of Hollywood stars lured by the gambling and the showgirls of the hotel's Cabaret Parisien.
Frank Sinatra stayed with Ava Gardner in room 225, Fred Astaire preferred 228, Johnny "Tarzan" Weissmuller 232 and Tennessee Williams 570.
Hotel Nacional
, Calle 21 y O, Vedado, Cuba; rooms from US$120
Ian Fleming creates James Bond: GoldenEye, Jamaica
Ian Fleming spent nearly 20 winters at this ocean-side retreat, penning several James Bond thrillers.
The hideaway played host to glitterati and literati, including Noël Coward (who rented GoldenEye for two months before buying his own home on the island), Errol Flynn, Lucian Freud, Katharine Hepburn, Evelyn Waugh, Cecil Beaton, John Gielgud and Princess Margaret.
In 1956 British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden and his wife spent a month at GoldenEye after his health collapsed in the wake of the Suez Crisis.
A dozen years after Fleming's death in August 1964, entertainment entrepreneur Chris Blackwell purchased the property, drawing a new slew of celebrities. Sting, Bono, Michael Caine, Quincy Jones, Johnny Depp and the Clintons have all planted trees at the resort following a tradition started by Eden.
You can sleep in the room where Fleming wove stories around 007 and write at the same desk (turned away from the sea-view to avoid distraction).

Stephen King writes 'The Shining': Stanley Hotel, Colorado
Movie buffs scared by the opening credits of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" are likely to get seriously spooked stepping into the actual hotel that inspired Stephen King to write the book.
Considered one of the United States' most haunted hotels, it was built by F. O. Stanley in 1909 on a mountainside in Estes Park, some 2,286 meters above sea level.
Many ghostly children have reportedly been heard playing up and down the hall of the 4th floor -- just like those twins in the movie -- while the late Mrs. Stanley's shade favors the Music Room. Room 401 is said to have been haunted for 80 years by Lord Dunraven, but the spookiest room of all is room 217, where King himself stayed.
Jim Carrey also stayed in 217 during the filming of "Dumb & Dumber," but has declined to explain why he felt compelled to check out in the middle of the night. However, visitors will be relieved to know blood has never been seen seeping out of the elevators. So far.
The Stanley Hotel
, 333 East Wonderview Ave., Estes Park, Colorado; rooms in the spooky main house from US$135
Mozart composes: Mamaison Pachtuv Palace, Prague, Czech Republic
This was the building Mozart called home in 1788, and it still has its original frescoes and vaulted chapel ceilings.
Steps from the city's iconic Charles Bridge, the hotel's location can't be bettered -- the Old Town, Vltava River quay and winding cobblestone streets of the Mala Strana are all less than 10 minutes away on foot.
Mozart dedicated six sonatas to the owner of the property in lieu of rent, but these days cash or credit card are preferred.
If you want to sleep where the maestro did, ask for room 218.
Mamaison Pachtuv Palace
, Karolíny Světlé 34, Prague, Czech Republic; rooms from US$176

John and Yoko bed-in: Fairmont Queen Elizabeth, Montreal, Canada
Although a staggering number of the world's royals -- including the eponymous monarch for whom it's named -- have stayed here, this hotel is best known as the place where John Lennon and Yoko Ono staged a week-long bed-in.
You can still book suite 1742 where they wrote and recorded "Give Peace A Chance" in 1969, the same year Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. He and fellow astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins also stayed in the Queen Elizabeth.
Montreal sees more than its fair share of diplomats and heads of state, and Nelson Mandela, Henry Kissinger, Boris Yeltsin, Yitzhak Rabin, George W. Bush and the Dalai Lama also spent time here. Numerous celebs have followed in their wake.
Fairmont Queen Elizabeth
, 900 Rene Levesque Blvd. West, Montreal, Canada; John and Yoko Suite US$768 per night, including breakfast and a copy of "Give Peace A Chance"
James II's overthrow is plotted: The Olde Bell, Berkshire, England
For a small country inn -- dating back to 1135 -- The Olde Bell has seen an awful lot of intrigue.
It was the scene of a plot to overthrow King James II during the 17th century by one Lord Lovelace of Hurley, and you can still see the door to a secret tunnel that ran between the inn's bar and Lovelace's mansion.
Lovelace's "Glorious Revolution" drove James II into exile and placed his son-in-law William of Orange on the throne.
Plot-hatching continued during World War II, when Winston Churchill met Eisenhower here.
Because of its proximity to Pinewood, movie stars have been staying here for nearly a century while filming. Mae West and Greta Garbo were followed by Cary Grant and Errol Flynn, and the place was a particular favorite of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton.
The Olde Bell
, High Street, Hurley, Berkshire, England; Rooms from US$215

Hollywood lives and dies: Beverly Hills Hotel, California
This pink-and-green palace is celebrating its centenary, although you'd never guess it was a day over 70.
Various facelifts mean the wallpaper, gloriously hand-painted with tropical foliage, makes the room corridors a delight, but it's the 12 bungalows that have seen all the Hollywood action.
Marilyn Monroe slept in both No.1 and No.7 (her favorite), Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor spatted in No.5 -- where they also had a standing order for vodka to be delivered with breakfast -- while yet another was used by Warren Beatty to pursue his many romances.
Stars still occasionally frequent the pool where Raquel Welch was discovered, while agents pack out the Polo Lounge, where Marlene Dietrich once scandalized the maitre d' by entering in trousers. Peter Finch dropped dead right outside the lounge entrance on January 14, 1977.
Beverly Hills Hotel
, 9641 Sunset Boulevard, Beverly Hills, United States; Bungalows from US$13,000
British rule ends in Palestine: King David Hotel, Jerusalem
This hotel has played host to many monarchs and heads of state, and was at the heart of the action during the forging of the state of Israel.
The British Army leased the top floor as an emergency HQ when the Arab revolt broke out in 1936, and a decade later was battling Israeli guerillas, who planted a bomb in the basement, causing 91 deaths.
On May 14, 1948 the Union Flag was lowered, and with independence the hotel regained its place as the city's hotel of choice for visiting heads of state and celebrities.
La Regence, site of the 1946 bombing, is one of Jerusalem's best restaurants, and the huge breakfast room, where hundreds of oranges are hand-squeezed on the spot every morning, is a triumph of art deco architectural splendor.
King David Hotel

The Central Connecticut women's soccer team earned the Northeast Conference Team Sportsmanship Award for the 2012 season, the league announced Thursday.
The Team Sportsmanship Awards, instituted by league Presidents in 2008, are designed to acknowledge the team in each conference sport that, in the opinion of its peers, most closely demonstrates good sportsmanship based on the NEC Principles of Sportsmanship and Standards of Conduct. Voting is conducted at the conclusion of each season by each team and head coach, who rank teams within the conference based on a set of criteria.
"The Northeast Conference holds the principles of sportsmanship and pursuing victory with honor in the highest regard," said Noreen Morris, NEC Commissioner. "I applaud our student-athletes, coaches and fans for their commitment in this area, and congratulate those teams honored for their role in promoting the ideals and fundamentals of good sportsmanship."
The Blue Devils earn the award after posting a 4-13-1 (3-7 NEC) season record. The Blue Devils also boasted 2012 NEC Goalkeeper of the Year, Nikola Deiter.

Reviewed by BD (age 10)
This book is great not only because of the topics, but because you can understand almost every word in the book, with the help of pronunciation keys in parenthesis. Here's an example: I couldn't understand the words Eucyon Davisi, so I looked at the pronunciation key. This is how it is pronounced, say: (U-see-on-DUH-vee-see). The book also has cat and dog communication dictionaries, and a cool glossary with pictures. The reader can learn a great deal about cats and dogs because the book not only states facts but also gives details, pictures, and explanantions to make sure the reader understands. This book is also a quick-read-- it is short but uses pictures and captions to pack in a lot of information.
I recommend this book for people who like reading short, fact-filled books, sprinkled with a bit of humor. National Geographic Kid's "Cats vs. Dogs" is a great book you don't want to miss if you are trying to learn a lot in a short time.

As usual, the team to beat in the Endurance World Championship is the Suzuki Endurance Racing Team (SERT). Taking the 2013 title by a thin five-point margin though, SERT's history of dominance in endruance racing is certainly being challenged. Biting at its heels are the factory teams from Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Honda — all of whom have strong teams for the 2014 season.
But the more things change, the more they stay the same — which applies equally well for the 2014 Suzuki GSX-R1000 which SERT will once again be campaigning in the EWC. The 2014 SERT Suzuki GSX-R1000 looks like almost a carbon-copy of last year's machine, and we will just assume that they don't want to change a winning formula.
At the helm of the SERT Suzuki GSX-R1000 are team regulars Vincent Philippe and Anthony Delhalle, who will be joined by Erwan Nigon and reserve rider Damian Cudlin. With 13 Endurance World Championship under its belt, SERT will look for its 14th title this year, and their title defense starts tomorrow with the Bol d'Or 24 Hour race at Magny-Cours, France.

Snowden Wright has a long-ish article describing what are (to my mind) the horrors of rushing a fraternity during college, and then ends his article with a stereotypically "no regrets" attitude, even about his own misogyny:
But the pain wouldn't last. We had been different people back then. On our way home, I thought back on the person I was during those years, rude and crass and smug, without any sense of regret or shame. None. Call me an asshole, label me a misogynist, wish me an early death. Doesn't matter. I will not apologize for having one hell of a good time. Because that's the point of college: not only to figure out who you want to be as an adult, but also to spend four years being the person you don't want to be.
Tom Matlock (the creator of The Good Men Project), in an interview, is the dictionary definition of a gender essentialist:
"I actually disagree with your POV here, Henry. I don't think it's about transcending gender at all. I think it's about men being men. We are different. Just look at all the various statistics about what men are doing and how it differs from women, from education to incarceration to parenting. And what we as men like to do, what interests us, what inspires us. I would hate to think that our mission is a great leveling of the genders. I love women. Because they are so different. I quite honestly cannot tell you how or why my wife does or says or thinks what she does. But I love her for it.(Because, y'know, women just think differently!)
Andrew Ladd has a slightly more nuanced take on things, but still ends up playing up the stereotypically "male" traits as positive, by noting that being a good man often means being a sissy:
So what to make of all this? Should we all go back to acting like Don Draper? The Man with No Name? Bogey? No. I stick by my own sissiness, and those iconic men of the past century are hardly perfect either. But I think it's important to acknowledge that what we talk about today as being "good" masculinity often is sissiness, with all the word's pejorative connotations, and not the purely positive thing we make it out to be.As if being a sissy can't be a purely positive thing...
Also, the creator of The Good Men Project, Tom Matlock, explicitly distances it from feminism:
The way Boston-based founder Tom Matlack tells it, the website owes its existence, at least in part, to one very important feminist in his life – his mother. "My parents don't like it when I call it this, but I basically grew up in a commune," he says. "My mother had a strident form of feminism and it influenced me on a personal level – I found it scary."
Although Mr. Matlack understandably won't label his project "feminist" – its mandate includes topics too broad to be boiled down to any one political agenda – he admits there is a relationship. "I think it's feminism on its head," he says. "Women were trying to get out of the home. Men's challenge is the opposite: how to be at home."
To my mind, any work that men do toward shifting from the traditional male masculinity models to a greater breadth of what it can mean to be masculine is great, but starting from a Men-Mars/Women-Venus perspective is bound to eventually leave out a lot of potential for change.

Mediterranean Mini Pizza with Cannellini Beans and Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus
I made a hummus pizza a few days ago and I felt like recreating a sandwich version of the dish with a bunch of Mediterranean ingredients. The problem was that I only had pita bread at home. I could have created a pocket in the bread and stuffed it, but I decided to place the ingredients on top of the pita bread to create a meal that resembled a pizza.
Following the Mediterranean theme, I made a cannellini bean and roasted red bell pepper hummus-like spread and topped it with Greek feta cheese, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, arugula, pickled shallot, black olives and marinated artichoke hearts. For the meat lovers out there, I would add some cubes of lamb kebabs.
I'm sure you've heard of 30-minute meals, but this took me 10 minutes, tops. Try this recipe the next time you're in a hurry. Beat that, Rachael Ray!
Yields: 61 dozen mini pita breads
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 (15-ounce) can white cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 roasted red bell peppers, (I used 2 small peppers)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
3/4 teaspoon red chili flakes, crushed
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika powder
1 sprig fresh red creeping thyme (or regular), finely chopped
1 cup arugula, washed and spin-dried
1/2 pound Greek feta cheese, diced
1/4 cup capers, drained
1 shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1-1/2 Meyer lemons (or regular lemons), freshly squeezed
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, coarsely chopped
1 dozen black olives, sliced
6 marinated artichoke hearts, quartered
2 teaspoons curly parsley
a drizzle chili garlic oil (optional), about 2 tablespoons
For the pita bread: Lightly brush the mini pita bread with olive oil. Place the pieces onto a hot griddle. Cook until you get nice grill marks (about 2 minutes on each side) over medium heat. Remove from the pan. As soon as the bread is ready, drizzle with half the amount of a lemon juice and season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper. Set aside.
Pickling the shallot: Peel and thinly slice the shallot; mince finely. Place the minced shallot in a bowl, sprinkle with some brown sugar and drizzle with half the amount of a lemon juice. Set aside.
For the cannellini bean and roasted red bell pepper "hummus": In a mini-food processor, combine the cannellini beans, pickled shallot, garlic, thyme, paprika, roasted red bell peppers, remaining lemon juice, red chili flakes and remaining olive oil. Pulse until smooth. (if the spread is to thick, add up to 2 tablespoons of water). Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl. Chill in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
Preheat the oven to "broil" setting.
Assembly time: Spread about 1-1/2 tablespoons of the cannellini bean and roasted red bell pepper "hummus" onto each pita bread. Garnish with some Greek feta cheese, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives and marinated artichoke hearts. Place the mini-pizzas on a baking sheet and broil them for about 3 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Garnish with some arugula and curly parsley. Finish with a drizzle of chili garlic oil if you like.
Serve immediately or at room temperature.
Bon appétit!
Roasted bell peppers are pretty easy and inexpensive to make. Wash the bell pepper, pat dry and brush with oil. Place a grill on your stove and char all the skin of the bell pepper. Wrap in aluminum foil. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Wash the bell pepper under running water and the skin will come right off.
You can also serve the mini-pizzas as appetizers à la Wolfgang Puck; that's how they serve them at Spago. It's a great time-saver and this dish is perfect when you throw a casual, buffet-style party.
White cannellini beans can be found in any grocery store. They're sometimes also called white kidney beans.
We have a lot of red creeping time this season in our garden. If you have any recipe suggestions on how to use it all, please drop me a message .
I get mini-pita breads at the Iranian store. If you don't have any, I think you can find find regular-sized pita bread in most grocery stores. Just grill and quarter them.
Summer is almost over, so take advantage of the hot weather and make good use of your barbeque. You can grill the pita bread on the outdoor grill. Cover the bread with the spread, then cover it with all the Mediterranean ingredients. Place the pita on the grill, close the barbeque and wait for a few minutes so the feta cheese gets warm.
How to make chili garlic infused oil: The use of chili garlic oil is optional but I like to drizzle a little at the end for a little extra kick. Combine a sprig of rosemary, a sprig of thyme, 8-10 small dried red chilies, 5 unpeeled cloves of garlic and 1/2 cup of olive oil (no need to use high quality) in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat (use the lowest setting on your stove) until the garlic cloves are soft (but not browned). Pick a transparent glass bottle. Fill another large pot with water and bring to just under a boil. Place the glass bottle, heat-proof funnel and tongs in the pot and let it boil for 10 minutes. This will ensure good sterilization. Fill the bottle with oil using the funnel. Add the sprigs of herbs and the garlic cloves if you like. Let it cool completely. Cover the top of the bottle with a cap. Store in the refrigerator. Wait at least 1 or 2 days before using to allow all the flavors to blend. **I sterilize the bottle and store the oil in the refrigerator to minimize any risk of contamination.

Topic: Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect Series discussion thread.
Mass Effect 2 is the only game I waited in line for the night before it came out, and did not disappoint. Also, there is no discussion for the first game or the series as a whole, so I am setting one up. This is also my first post in a long time.
So, what do you like better about the new game? What do you miss from the first? What path did you take, favorite characters, etc.
Please boldly state when you are using spoilers, so as not to give anything away to those who haven't beaten the game. Example:
Saren kills Nihlus on Eden Prime

Arab Street is one of the most famous streets in Singapore where you can enjoy shopping from cheap stores, walking between colorful buildings, eating from delicious restaurants & you can also get inside the huge mosque & have a tour inside it.
My dad being a little bit religious, he wanted to pray Friday prayer inside the mosque, & he forced us to get inside with him (women's section) 😛 I tell you, it's the weirdest prayer I've ever witnessed. It's a normal Friday prayer with a speech & everything, but they have this ritual where they say something (I forgot what it was) 100 times. I got irritated after a while because this prayer wouldn't end. But thankfully it did, & I told Dad I'm not going to any Friday prayer in a strange country 😛
After that, we enjoyed checking the mini stores which were closed before the prayer & opened afterwards. & We had lunch in a lovely place sitting outside while it was raining. beautiful atmosphere.
Loved this place alot, it was very clean & lovely. Went to it twice when we stayed there!
I'lle leave you with the pictures;

The nursery colors are pink, orange, green and aqua. At first I was going to make one big quilt, but I decided they both needed their own. I still wanted them to match, so I thought chevron quilts in all of their colors, adding green to both to further tie them together.
I've been wanting to make a chevron quilt for a while and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I just made half-square triangles from 5 1/2" squares and sewed them together in rows.
For the fabrics I used lots of polka dots from Riley Blake and little elephants from Michael Miller.
On the girl quilt I free-motion quilted little swirls and every once in while added a heart. On the boy quilt I quilted lines to keep it more masculine.
I wanted to quilts to be cozy warm so I put minky on the back. It actually quilts quite well!
I loved stitching these up for my dear cousin. Unlike my husband who has countless cousins and extended family my extended family is quite small, so it means even more to me. I was in tears when I met the new little bundles and here they are!
Little Mac, who is super mello and looks like his mom. And precious Brizbyn who looks more like her dad but is every bit a dainty little lady. I loved holding her and didn't want to give her up! Wish I lived closer so I could see these angels more often. They are just yummy! :)


text: Gleaming gold and shining silver can be so cliché at times. Sometimes it's more sensible to go for whimsical charm rather than arrogant diamonds. The designers behind Dogeared completely emphasize this notion and make sure there are plenty of fun varieties to choose from. Whether it's a cross or peace sign to a vintage camera and horseshoe, there's a charm dangling from a modest necklace that speaks volumes to you personally. Dogeared believes in affordable personal style rather than some astronomically expensive accessory that's completely deprived of authenticity.

Here's Irina Shayk, who definitely wins the prize for NYC's most casual supermodel (RESPECT), going for a little morning walk in NYC while wearing flip flops, a sweatshirt and cut-off shorts, as well as carrying a glossy Hermès Crocodile Birkin. There is a small chance it might be alligator, but croc is more common for Hermès bags. We've never seen Irina with this bag before, so we're guessing this is a fairly recent acquisition.
This isn't Irina's only Birkin, of course. We saw her with a bright blue Hermes Birkin back in June. Irina doesn't have her own edition of "The Many Bags of…" just yet, but I suspect she's probably on Amanda's shortlist. In the meantime, you can check out more of Irina's best bags in "50+ Bags on the Arms of Our Favorite Supermodels."

This has been posted all over the progressive blogosphere by now, but it bears reposting and repeating.
Elizabeth Warren, who was passed over to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — her own brainchild — is now a candidate for the Massachusetts Senate seat currently occupied by Scott Brown. In that capacity, Warren recently answered conservatives' cries of "class warfare" regarding President Obama's new jobs agenda. What she said encapsulated precisely the message that every candidate appealing for Main Street votes, from the White House down, needs to repeat from now until November 5, 2012, and beyond.
In a video of a recent Warren appearance, posted online by an individual who says he or she is not affiliated with the campaign, Warren answered the charge. "I hear all this, you know, 'Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever,'" Warren said. "No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own — nobody.
"You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police-forces and fire-forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory — and hire someone to protect against this — because of the work the rest of us did.
"Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless — keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."
(Oh, and if you're an Internet tycoon, well, you made your fortune using "tubes" for which the rest of us paid the R&D costs. So don't start.)
There are several reasons some form of this message bears repeating in the political debates ahead.
First, it's a direct answer to the question President Obama posed, when he framed the big choice America has to make.
Should we keep tax loopholes for oil companies? Or should we use that money to give small business owners a tax credit when they hire new workers? Because we can't afford to do both. Should we keep tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires? Or should we put teachers back to work so our kids can graduate ready for college and good jobs? Right now, we can't afford to do both.
This isn't political grandstanding. This isn't class warfare. This is simple math. These are real choices that we have to make. And I'm pretty sure I know what most Americans would choose. It's not even close. And it's time for us to do what's right for our future.
Second, as the president said, in the contest between what the tea party wants and what the majority of American want, it's not even close. It's never been close. A recent Gallup poll shows that most Americans support the proposals in the American Jobs Act.
Americans generally favor raising taxes on higher-income Americans and eliminating tax deductions for some corporations as ways of paying for President Obama's proposed jobs plan.
…The president also proposed raising taxes on wealthy Americans in his deficit-reduction proposal announced on Monday at the White House. Republican leaders have responded that this idea represents nothing more than "class warfare," but the current data show that the majority of Americans generally favor increasing taxes on the rich as a way to increase revenue.
Slightly more than half of rank-and-file Republicans and Republican-leaning independents favor the idea of eliminating certain corporate tax deductions as a way to pay for a jobs creation bill. Forty-one percent of Republicans favor raising taxes on higher-income Americans. Democrats strongly favor both proposals for paying for the cost of the jobs bill.
Third, as my fellow blogger Richard Eskow explained, there is no "third way." This is the president's and the Democrats big chance lead, and lead with a message that the majority of Americans are hungry for.
This is it. This is the opportunity, that Barack Obama has been waiting for. He finally has the chance to push for policies that are popular with Republicans and independents as well as with Democrats. This is his "post-partisan" moment.
But there's a catch: These policies have been stigmatized among the policy elites. The only people who like them are voters.
So the Big Chance comes with a Big Choice: he President can win the bipartisan support of the electorate. Or he can win the support of insiders from both parties, backed by billionaires and corporate think tanks, who use the "bipartisan" label to push the right-wing ideology of austerity economics.
But he can't do both. There's no "third way." And the choice he makes now may well determine his political future.
That's the reason Warren's statement caught fire on the Internet. This is a message that resonates with millions of Americans, and it's a message they haven't heard much.
They certainly haven't heard it from Republicans. Republicans haven't talked like that since Abraham Lincoln explained the relationship between capital and labor. Instead, Republicans gave us job-killing budget cuts, while lying to us about "job-killing regulations"
The statements by Warren and Obama both take swipes at what our own Sara Robinson defined as the myth of the "self-made" American.
Specifically, we need to drive home the fact that anybody who calls themselves an American cannot, in the same breath, declare that they are in any sense entirely "self-made." This is indeed the land of opportunity. But those opportunities exist only as long as we work together to create them; and willfully denying that is an insult to every other American who sacrificed to make your opportunities possible. It's like saying your parents had nothing to do with raising you. You'd expect them to be hurt, offended, and angry at your lack of gratitude. The rest of us who contributed to your success aren't wrong to feel insulted, too.
Progressives know the truth: Nobody in America ever did it alone, for themselves. For the past 220 years, we've done it together, for each other.
It's a message that resonates with Americans, because we know on a "marrow-deep" level that it didn't "just happen." Not our transformation from upstart colonies to "the land of opportunity," nor the growth of a middle class and an economy that worked well enough to "the American Dream" within reach. It happened because, as Sarah said, we did it together. We did it with each other and for each other. Now, as many of us find that Dream farther and farther out of reach, the only way we're going to get it back is if we do it together; with each other and fore each other.
The president and his party have a message that Americans want to hear, and a plan that the majority of Americans support. Supporters of a plan for jobs now and for rebuilding the American Dream for working people have a real fight on their hands between now and the 2012 election, but it's a fight that the majority of Americans will join — making it a winnable fight — if they believe that the politicians who are talking the talk really mean it this time.

The other day I asked, Do You Know An Unsung Progressive Hero? Maria Leavey Tribute Nominations Are Now Open! April 2 is the deadline for nominations.
And while I'm on the subject, the award is presented during the "Take Back the American Dream" conference which will be held June 18-20 at the Washington Hilton Hotel, Washington, D.C. Click here for more info.
It's time for nominations for the Maria Leavey Tribute Award. If you know someone who deserves this award, please nominate them! This annual award honors an unsung hero of the progressive movement whose behind-the-scenes work and selfless service has made a major contribution to social justice.
Click here to nominate your unsung progressive hero, helping us "Take Back The American Dream", for the 6th Annual Maria Leavey Tribute Award.
From the Wisconsin capitol steps where people resisted Governor Walker's attacks on unions, to Zuccotti Park and the Occupy Wall Street , to the online boycotts of the Susan G. Komen fund for defunding Planned Parenthood and right now taking action against Rush Limbaugh's insults of women, progressives on the ground are taking matters into their own hands, and getting it done.
Thousands of Americans have played key roles — quietly, behind the scenes — to fight and win these battles, unbeknown to the rest of the 99% who are benefiting from their brains and sweat.
Who Was Maria Leavey?
Maria Leavey was the quintessential unsung progressive hero: an organizer with extraordinary talent, a behind-the-scenes force with an uncanny ability to connect rising young talent with Washington leaders, a tireless advocate who often worked without claiming credit or even compensation.
Since her death in 2006, we honor her legacy with the Maria Leavey Tribute Award, which goes to a person in the progressive movement whose behind-the-scenes work and selfless service embodies Maria's spirit and has made an invaluable contribution to social justice.
The Sixth Annual Maria Leavey Tribute Award
The sixth annual Maria Leavey Tribute Award will be presented at the CAF's annual "Take Back The American Dream" conference, which takes place June 18-20. The award goes to a person whose tireless, behind-the-scenes work has been critical to the success of the progressive movement in the past year.
Click here to nominate your unsung progressive hero, helping us "Take Back The American Dream", for the 6th Annual Maria Leavey Tribute Award.
Past Maria Leavey Award Winners
In 2011, Courtney Foley won the Maria Leavey Award for her work to repeal Ohio's anti-worker bill SB5. Courtney served as the Quality Control Director for the entire state of Ohio during the petition process for the SB5-repeal effort. Working with a small volunteer staff, she held trainings and coordinated operations with organizers throughout the state, but you would never know who Courtney was or the valuable service she provided unless you were on the ground for this fight in Ohio – the definition of an unsung hero.
The 2010 Maria Leavey Tribute Award recipient was Lanya Shapiro from Durham, N.C., a social entrepreneur, tireless activist and organizer, and part of the vanguard of the modern progressive movement. Her most recent cutting-edge endeavor is Traction, a Durham, N.C.-based offline social network designed to turn young voters into energized and engaged activists who will, over time, power the progressive movement as volunteers, donors, board members and elected officials.
The 2009 Maria Leavey Tribute Award winner, Graciela Sanchez, was honored for her more than 20 years of work as the director of the Esperanza Peace & Justice Center in San Antonio. Under Graciela's leadership, the Esperanza Center has become the gathering place for social justice advocates in the labor, immigration, gay and lesbian rights, health care and environmental movements.
The first Maria Leavey Tribute Award recipient, Ari Lipman, put aside graduate work at Harvard to serve as an organizer for the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization, where he mobilized 1,000 volunteers and successfully pressured the political and business elite to enact universal health care in Massachusetts. Watch Lipman's acceptance speech.
