In Time star Amanda Seyfried explains what it's like to be rich and immortal. Kick-Ass's Mark Millar and Matthew Vaughn reunite for another superhero movie. Plus spoilers from The Dark Knight Rises set and a World War Z casting update.
Spoilers from here on out!
Top image from The Dark Knight Rises.
Man of Steel
Here are some rather unexpected set photos from Vancouver, in which Henry Cavill appears as a bearded, apparently barefoot, and not particularly well-dressed Clark Kent. So what's going on here?
There are three explanations I can think of, the most likely and most obvious being that this is from a period before Clark Kent becomes Superman. Most synopses for the film do mention a time when Clark traveled the world, and one could imagine him looking a bit the worse from wear from this experience. Another possibility is that this is some sort of disguise or undercover assignment, presumably something for The Daily Planet. And the most improbable, albeit most dramatic explanation is that Clark has somehow lost his powers or otherwise fallen, and this scruffy look is the result. Of course, there's absolutely nothing to support that idea from anything we've previously heard about the movie.
So I'd say it's about an 80% likelihood that it's the first explanation, 19.9% the second, and .1% the third. But again, that's all just speculation. The key point, really, is that Superman is not always well-dressed. Amazing how much you can interpret from just that. [Socialite Life]
And here are some set photos of Amy Adams as Lois Lane, confirming that she will be keeping her red hair for the role. [The Daily Mail]
The Dark Knight Rises
Here's another set video from Los Angeles, which (at least according to those filming it) depicts Bruce Wayne showing up at a party limping and injured. [SpoilerTV]
And here's a posting from the production team - using the movie's pseudonymous title Magnus Rex - describing a chase scene that will soon be filmed. The scene will apparently involve "simulated gunfire and pyrotechnics", and "Police cars and SWAT team members will converge into the alley from 6th St. and will drive through the Joe's parking lot on Spring St." You can see additional details in the image on the left. [/Film]
The Avengers
Here are three more promo photos. [SpoilerTV]
Marvel Studios has confirmed the movie's first full trailer will premiere online next week. [FirstShowing.net]
In Time
Director Andrew Niccol provides the most colorful explanation yet for his upcoming immortality thriller's relationship to his previous work Gattaca:
"I think of it as the bastard child of Gattaca because at the time I thought the holy grail of genetic engineering, of course, is to find the aging gene and switch it off. The implications were so huge that I thought, 'That's another movie.' And it turns out, it has become another movie."
Star Amanda Seyfried explains what it's like to be a rich person with basically unlimited quantities of time, and why her character Sylvia Weis would want to escape that existence with Justin Timberlake's Will Salas:
It's a boring life to sit around and try not to die, basically, which is that society. Having so much time and so much money, or whatever, it's just everybody's a bodyguard, nobody eats, really. It's just a very mundane existence; they just eat egg whites and try to stay healthy, and she just wants adventure. She's young and she's got no one around to kind of share the same feelings with, and her dad is overly controlling and basically she just wants to get out. And she sees this guy coming from, she doesn't know where he's from, but he seems like trouble, in a good way. And then all of a sudden she has no choice because he takes her hostage, and I think at first it's really scary because this is not how she would have gone about getting out of her life. But at the same time, she's exhilarated by the danger and the experience, and also like the possibilities.

And here's an interview with stars Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, in which they attempt to explain the movie's plot.
World War Z
David Morse, who's been in everything from St. Elsewhere to Treme, has reportedly been cast as "a prisoner living in an abandoned jail." [Deadline]
Matthew Vaughn is officially reteaming with Kick-Ass creator Mark Millar, having bought the rights to his comic series Superior, which follows the first superhero ever diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Right now, Vaughn is just developing the project, though it's possible he could take on a more active role as producer or director down the line. [Comic Book Movie]
Here's a promo image of Isabel Lucas as the goddess Athena. Bigger version at the link. [Crave Online]
In truly random news, music producer Danger Mouse is reportedly working with music video director Chris Milk to adapt his latest record Rome into a movie. The album is based on Alden Bell's The Reapers are the Angles, which "incorporate Rome as an underpinning for the tale, which centres on a girl born into a post-apocalyptic world who must survive by her wits while finding moments of simple joy." I'm going to go ahead and assume whatever comes of this will be awesomely bizarre. [IGN]
The Sarah Jane Adventures
Here's an interview with cast members Tommy Knight and Daniel Anthony. [Life, Doctor Who, and Combom]
John Noble teases the eventual return of Walternate:
"We haven't arrived at that point in the storyline. But he will [be back]...when we need him again... Is [Walternate] still the same? What happens with Elizabeth on the other side? Everyone's lost a son."
[TV Line]
Noble also promises this Peter-less version of the Walter will have to leave the lab a few episodes down the line, and it will be momentous:
"Walter is unstable. He's constantly watched by the authorities; he can be sent back at any time...So if he's being seen as too unstable or unnecessary, in other words unless he remains a genius who can solve things, he'll be sent back to the asylum. He's petrified of all sort of things. He's petrified because he thinks he's gone mad; he's petrified of not doing his job right; he's petrified because he doesn't know who to talk to. So the episode where he does go out [of the lab] is more to prove a point."
Terra Nova
Here are four previews for next week's episode, "What Remains." [Terra Nova TV]
And here are some promo photos for the episode. [SpoilerTV]
Person of Interest
Michael Emerson discusses Finch's upcoming interactions with Taraji P. Henson's Detective Carter:
"I have some great scenes coming up with Taraji, and they were such fun to play. Because she's relentless and smart, she's going to pursue Reese - and in the course of that she will find out that she's not dealing with just one lone actor. She's trying to find things out, and I am not helpful."
[TV Line]
Tim DeKay, who plays FBI Agent Peter Burke on White Collar, has reportedly been cast as Sarah's old CIA handler Kieran Ryker, who is described as " a stoic, unflappable man who forces her to 'confront her past and the choices she's made.'" The character will appear in episode eight. [EW]
Actor Joseph Gatt will reportedly play a character named Agent Hawk in episode six, "Chuck vs. the Curse." [SpoilerTV]
Once Upon a Time
Here's a synopsis for the first episode, along with an overview of the show's premise:
And they lived happily ever after...or so everyone was led to believe. Emma Swan knows how to take care of herself. She's a 28-year-old bail bondsperson who's been on her own ever since she was abandoned as a baby. But when Henry — the son she gave up years ago — finds her, everything changes. Henry is now 10 years old and in desperate need of Emma's help. He believes that Emma actually comes from an alternate world and is Snow White and Prince Charming's missing daughter. According to his book of fairytales, they sent her away to protect her from the Evil Queen's curse, which trapped the characters of fairytale world forever, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world.
In the premiere episode, "Pilot," not believing a word of Henry's story, Emma brings him back to Storybrooke, but finds herself drawn to this unusual boy and his strange New England town. Concerned for him, she decides to stay for a while, but soon comes to suspect that Storybrooke is more than it seems. It's a place where magic has been forgotten, but is still powerfully close...where fairytale characters are alive, even though they don't remember who they once were, and where the Evil Queen, known as Regina, is now Henry's foster mother. The epic battle for the future of all worlds is beginning, and for good to win, Emma will have to accept her destiny and fight like hell.
Firefly's Jewel Staite discusses her role in tonight's episode as Amy, a demon and former childhood sweetheart of Sam:
She's a special type of demon, but she's a demon with a heart of gold. She's just doing what she has must to survive and take care of herself and her family. She's Sam's long-lost love from childhood and she kind of comes back and takes him by surprise and throws him for a bit of a loop.
Is it just brains that she eats? Can you clarify how she does it?
Yes, kind of. She sort of sucks out the brains. It's not as messy as it sounds. It's a clean demon-killing.
She seems to have a conscience. Does she only target low-life victims?
She tries her best to do that, but sometimes the hunger is too much and she kind of slips up.
[TV Guide]
Without revealing just which Winchester brother will get married in an upcoming episode, Jared Padalecki offers this insight into what it means for the two siblings:
"The gist of it is that these characters have been through a lot. Dean in relationships and Sam in relationships, and now - it kind of comes out of the blue - but there is going to be a character who gets married. And it's kind of confusing to the other character, naturally, but it all spells itself out pretty quickly."
And Jensen Ackles explains Dean's long emotional arc:
"It's a lot of that inner struggles that's been dragging along for six years. Dean's got his issues that he's constantly dealing with - the guilt and the lifestyle, in general, the fact that he feels like he let his brother down and may not be able to protect people the way he use to be able to. It's a 'weight of the world' thing."
American Horror Story
Creator Ryan Murphy reveals that the third episode will heavily deal with Jessica Lange's line in the pilot "Don't make me kill you again." He also says it will soon be revealed that Vivian's pregnancy is far from normal and the father is not who one might expect, as is pretty much demanded by the genre. He then teases next week's episode, "Home Invasion":
Next week's episode came about because in the writer's room we talk about, What are our fears? And all of us have that one. I'm really scared about someone breaking into my house. It's about what would you do if you moved into a place, somebody broke in, and you survived? Would you look at your house as a place of survival or a place of hauntedness? What would you do - would you get out or would you stay? It was also loosely based on the Richard Speck murders.
Star Connie Britton confirms that she's only really committed to one season, and that the show might well continue with a new cast. However, she's not sure if that's still the plan:
That is actually how it was presented to me, frankly. Which is part of the reason why I felt like this was something that I could do. Whether that ends up happening or not, I don't know, but I think that was the original intent. I've been developing a show with David O. Russell and we'd just sold that to FX, in fact, so when I met with Ryan, I wasn't even sure that I could do this. But this is an FX show, too, so that's good. I think Ryan's mind-set has been, "I don't know! We don't know! Let's see!"
The Vampire Diaries
Here's the synopsis for episode seven, "Ghost World":
NIGHT OF ILLUMINATION —- As Mystic Falls prepares to celebrate the traditional Illumination Night, the town is invaded by spirits of the dead. After a particularly violent encounter with an angry spirit, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) asks Bonnie (Kat Graham) to find the reason behind the ghosts' surprising power. Elena (Nina Dobrev) convinces Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) to use his connection to the other side to help her find a new way to reach Stefan (Paul Wesley), leading Jeremy to a terrible choice. Finally, Alaric (Matt Davis) discovers a long-hidden clue to the past.

Read and comment on the Good Neighbor Statement of Operations at tinyurl.com/dxsz6p9.
The public comment period is open until Feb. 8.
Boulder Housing Partners Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on the draft statement at a special meeting on Jan. 14. The group meets at 2:30 p.m. at the BHP main office, 4800 Broadway.
An advisory group that includes a formerly homeless person and staunch opponents of a "Housing First" apartment building at 1175 Lee Hill Drive has reached consensus on a draft "statement of operations" that will govern operations at the proposed housing project.
The planned 30,000-square-foot housing project, just south of the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, will feature 31 units intended to house the chronically homeless, defined as people who have been homeless for one year or four times in the past three years.
The project provoked strong opposition from many north Boulder residents who said their neighborhoods already bear the brunt of accommodating the city's homeless population. Supporters said it would reduce homelessness and serve some of the city's most vulnerable residents.
The "Good Neighbor Statement of Operations" describes how residents will be chosen for the facility, how rules will be developed and how complaints will be handled.
The statement is posted on the website of Boulder Housing Partners, and community members can comment online or by mail. There also will be a public hearing about the proposed statement of operations at a special meeting in January.
As a member of the North Boulder Alliance, Gail Promboin opposed the location of the Housing First project near the homeless shelter, and she still thinks it's a bad location that will make it harder for formerly homeless residents to get a fresh start.
But as a member of the advisory group, she said the statement of operations goes a long way to helping the proposed facility fit into the neighborhood.
The advisory group included people with experience as service providers, formerly homeless people and north Boulder residents.
"It was tough, but we decided we were going to strive for consensus," she said.
One of the points of contention was alcohol. Many north Boulder residents wanted 1175 Lee Hill Drive to be a dry facility, but the Housing First model serves many people who have not been able to stay sober and does not require sobriety.
The housing project will not take people whose substance abuse problems cause them to be disruptive, but residents will be allowed to drink inside their apartments.
Promboin said some of her neighbors won't be happy about that, but it's part of how Housing First works.
Another point of contention was smoking. Boulder Housing Partners typically does not allow smoking in its facilities, but neighbors pushed for a designated smoking area so that residents won't smoke on the sidewalk outside.
"There's a balancing act between reassuring the community about behavior, and the people who had had the experience of being homeless saying, 'How would you like people to tell you how to act?'" Promboin said.
Boulder Housing Partners Executive Director Betsey Martens said she was pleased with the draft statement, which is the first operations plan of its type that BHP has developed.
"We're following through on our commitment to engage the community in decisions about how we manage the property," she said.
If the BHP board adopts the statement of operations, the housing authority will prepare to submit building plans to the city of Boulder. At the same time, BHP plans more neighborhood meetings on the physical design of the building.
Promboin said she knows neighbors will still be skeptical, but she believes BHP has an incentive to follow through because the organization and city officials want to build more Housing First projects.
"I think we did a good thing," she said. "I was skeptical, but I will say right off that the proof is in the performance. I trust BHP to do what is in its best interest, and it is in BHP's best interest for this project to be a success."

John Roderick at The Triple Door, 8 July 2010
John Roderick's July show at The Triple Door in Seattle was an eclectic mix of new, old and even older songs. Watch Copernicus and Not Moving to Portland, and the Bun Family Players' song Shane!
The Bun Family Players were one of John's previous bands before The Long Winters. Their songs were never released, so this peek into their old songbook is quite unique.
» Watch Shane on Vimeo
A song from the first The Long Winters album The Worst You Can Do Is Harm.

Microgravity and drop towers
Everything on Earth's surface is subject to an average gravitational acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 (1 g). Gravity determines nearly all physical, chemical and biological phenomena occurring on our planet. It is fundamental to all natural processes around and within us, from the distribution of water and vegetation on our planet to the way that living organisms look and function. Furthermore, gravity is also a primary influence on all human technological developments.
Zero gravity (0 g) is a theoretical concept that cannot exist. This is because gravity is a fundamental force with infinite reach between bodies. As a consequence, gravitational accelerations, however small, always exist. Objects in free fall (only exposed to gravitational forces) experience weightlessness. However, in practice it is not easy to completely remove other non-gravitational forces such as air drag or solar pressure. Therefore, the term "microgravity" is used. Microgravity is expressed as a fraction of g (from 10-2 to 10-6 g).
Scientific research in microgravity allows us to ask some important questions. What happens to basic physical, chemical and biological processes in the absence of this directional force? What does this teach us about the processes in the universe, on our Earth and even inside bodies? Can these insights lead to greater awareness and technological improvements?
There are many different platforms for performing scientific or technological experiments in microgravity. The most obvious examples are manned or unmanned platforms in orbit above the Earth. While this offers microgravity conditions of extended duration, cost and time associated with developing and sending payloads into space make this option challenging.
Terrestrial-based options include sounding rockets, parabolic flights and drop towers. The first two of these offer microgravity of several seconds to minutes, but preparation times and costs are still relatively high.
Drop towers offer the best microgravity levels - as low as 10-6 g - and are the most flexible and adaptable platforms for many scientific experiments. Not only are they available for 300 working days every year but they allow the experiment hardware to be changed at short notice and the experiment set-up to be adjusted or improved between drops. Drop towers also offer reliable and accurate monitoring of experiments allowing both data upload and download during the experiment.

Arch Neocon David Frum, the man who coined the term "axis of evil" as a speech writer of George W. Bush, wants us to believe that the Bilderberg Group consists of a washed up group of old men who do not really have any political power or influence, a claim we have consistently debunked.
Writing in the National Post, Frum, who admits to having attended a number of Bilderberg meetings in the 1990s, argues that the group continues to operate in strict secrecy only to stay relevant:
I well understand the group's intense need for secrecy: If Bilderberg meetings were open to the public — if they were carried live on C-SPAN — the intense global fascination with the mysterious group would vanish at a puff.
Frum argues that Bilderberg is anachronistic and dated and has been replaced by "glitzier" gatherings such as The World Economic Forum in Davos:
The idea of Bilderberg as a shadow world government is rather funny. Bilderberg itself demurs, on grounds that the group only hosts discussions, never adopts resolutions or anything like that. But that's not the real rebuttal. Unlike Davos, Bilderberg is a membership organization: Most attendees return every year. Over time, this practice has given Bilderberg a distinct yesteryear quality. You were much more likely to meet an "ex" this or "former" that than anyone in office today.
Linking to Charlie Skelton's London Guardian articles on this year's Bilderberg meeting, Frum has clearly felt the need to offset the exposure the secretive elite have garnered at this year's gathering in Sitges, Spain.
His argument that Bilderberg is populated by waning members only elites that return every single year falls flat on its face, however, when you take one look at the attendee list for this year's meeting.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
Bill Gates, Microsoft founder and CEO of the hugely influential Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, attended for the first time this year to give a key note speech.
The chairmen of Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Santander and Goldman Sachs attended – hardly small fish during the biggest financial crisis since the great depression.
The CEO of Google, Siemens and Telefónica – huge multinational communications companies all attended.
The CEO of Royal Dutch Shell meeting in secret with the US Under Secretary for Economic, Energy and Agricultural Affairs is a clear violation of the Logan Act.
Royalty in the form of the Queen of Spain and the Queen of the Netherlands, and acting players on the world stage – Robert B Zoellick, head of the World Bank, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, the Prime Minister of Spain, James B. Steinberg, US Deputy Secretary of State, Richard C. Holbrooke, US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Paul A. Volcker, Chairman of the US Economic Recovery Advisory Board, Javier Solana of the Council of the European Union, Neelie Kroes of the European Commission, Members of the European Parliament, Ministers of Finance and defence from several countries, the list goes on.
These people are not washed up has beens as Frum makes out.
Frum's claim is also contradicted by Former NATO Secretary-General and Bilderberg member Willy Claes, who recently admitted that Bilderberg attendees are mandated to implement decisions that are formulated during the annual conference of power brokers.
As we pointed out in the article linked above, the continual coming to pass of policies leaked out of Bilderberg meetings indicates that this is exactly what is happening.
Furthermore, we highlighted how Bilderberg is active in choosing presidents and their running mates, prime ministers, and leaders of the European Union. We highlight how Bilderberg was a key initiator of the single European currency, which was only fully adopted 8 years ago.
Aside from his attempts to downplay the influence of the group, Frum reveals that Bilderberg primarily focuses on "the urgency of European integration, and the ever-rising menace of populist conservatism in the United States."
Here we have a Bilderberg attendee admitting that the rise of political figures such as Rand Paul – whom Frum himself has attacked on several occasions – is a consistent thorn in the side of the Bilderberg globalist agenda.
Frum also openly admits that Bilderberg is populated by Nazis:
Scene: I'm in the hotel bar after a Bilderberg session in Belgium. I get into conversation with an elderly fellow-attendee, a wealthy German businessman. Then: "You know, I was a Nazi." Weren't a lot of people? "Oh yes. But I was especially ardent. I volunteered for service in Russia."
Bilderberg was of course founded by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, a virulent Nazi.
While any right minded person would find it disturbing that former Nazis were meeting in secret with heads of state, leading politicians and CEOs of major global corporations on a yearly basis, Frum seems to find it somewhat charming and part of what he describes as the "distinct yesteryear quality" that attracts him to the gatherings.

I am one of the winners of a discounted black walnut board, courtesy of "The Chairman of the Boards" David Smith, donated in honor KKF's first birthday. I actually purchased it as a gift for my mother, who is entering the home stretch of a long overdue kitchen remodel. What can I say that hasn't been said before? RobinW beat me to the punch with his "birthday board" review, calling his maple board "stunning and flawless." This one is no different. When I showed it to my mother, she was so pleased with it she said she will leave it out all the time instead of hiding it away in a cupboard somewhere. High praise. I will post a few pictures here, but I'm afraid the gloomy weather and my poor skills/equipment don't do the beauty of the board justice.
Thanks again David!
Thanks again David!

BOSTON, July 22 (Reuters) — Former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez will be tried in January for the murder of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd last summer, a Massachusetts judge ruled on Tuesday.
Superior Court Judge Susan Garsh ruled at a hearing in Fall River District Court that the former NFL star's trial would begin on Jan. 9, according to a spokeswoman for Bristol County Superior Court.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the shooting death of Lloyd, whose body was found near Hernandez's home in North Attleborough in June 2013. He has also pled not guilty in Boston to separate charges of killing two men after an incident involving a spilled drink at a nightclub in 2012.
Garsh did not rule on Tuesday on a motion filed a day earlier by Hernandez's lawyers that asks the court to "take prompt action" to prevent news broadcasts of Hernandez's hearings from capturing courtroom conversations between the former Patriots player and his lawyers.
The motion says a relative of Hernandez who watched a hearing earlier this month via the internet was able to overhear "private conversations between counsel and their client while they were seated at counsel table awaiting the hearing to begin."
The motion cites Massachusetts court rules that allow electronic recording in court but bar anyone from recording private conversations between defense lawyers and their clients.
"It is essential to the defendant's receiving effective assistance of counsel in this case that his counsel be able to confer among themselves and confer with their client confidentially," read the motion.

Spiritually in Touch

Tiger's Eye Ring - Size 7 - Spiritually In Touch
About Spiritually in Touch:
Ever since I was young, I always had an interest in nature and the outdoors. We would take family trips up to my grand pops mountain house in Huntington County. I forget how we found out about it but there was a little rock shop run by an older couple that we would visit. This is where my love of crystals developed. From there it progressed into some local rock hounding adventures as I got older. My true inspiration for creating jewelry came to me one night while seeking a crystal necklace for myself. After looking online I noticed there were dozens of styles, materials, colors, etc. even with all of these options I just couldn't seem to find exactly what I wanted. At that moment there was a spark of creativity and ambition that told me "I can do it if I put my mind to it". This is always been a concept my parents have drilled into my mind. So I did my research found some information on a few different methods and just let loose and had fun with it. I have a strong passion for creativity and once I crossed over that line, there was no stopping me. I worked night after night and before I knew it I had a large inventory of beautiful pieces.
All Spiritually in Touch crystals are hand picked for quality and energy purposes. After selection they are cared for, given a bath and allowed time for their setting to grow tightly around them. This journey continues for about 3 hours in total until being ready for their new home! Take good care by keeping them close and full of love. Each piece holds specific metaphysical characteristics.

Using a television in the FRITZ!Box home network
If your television has a network port or is equipped with Wi-Fi, you can simply connect it to a LAN port or the Wi-Fi network of your FRITZ!Box. The television can then access the internet and be used as a playback device for multimedia content such as photos, videos, or music.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
1 Configuring the FRITZ!Box
In the factory settings, the FRITZ!Box automatically assigns the correct IP settings to all devices via DHCP. If you disabled the FRITZ!Box's DHCP server, re-enable it:
- Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Network" in the "Home Network" menu.
- Click on the "Network Settings" tab.
- Click the "IPv4 Addresses" button. If the button is not displayed, enable the Advanced View first.
- Enable the DHCP server and define the range from which the FRITZ!Box assigns IP addresses.
Note:The FRITZ!Box has the IP address 192.168.178.1 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) and assigns IP addresses from xxx.20 to xxx.200 in the factory settings.
- Click "OK" to save the settings.
2 Configuring the television
Make sure that the television obtains its IP settings from the FRITZ!Box:
- Configure the television to automatically obtain IP settings via DHCP (this is the default setting for most televisions). Refer to the manufacturer for information on how to set it up, for example consult the manual.
3 Connecting the television to the FRITZ!Box
- Either use a network cable or Wi-Fi to connect the television to the FRITZ!Box.

Photojournalist Andrea Bruce writes: "After covering the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past 10 years, I found it important to bring attention to the similarities in the cultures involved in these conflicts. I believe that getting people to relate to each other in different countries and from various religions is the first step to empathy during war. I hope photography can help cut down stereotypes and cliches." To this end, Bruce photographed Afghan-Americans who left comfortable lives in the U.S. to work in unstable Afghanistan.

Aman Mojadidi, 41, artist.
"Afghanistan definitely didn't seem like home per se but it was very much this place where my family was from, and I still had this very strong kind of sense of having an Afghan identity … it makes me kind of understand more my American identity. It's funny ... [it took] growing up in the U.S. to feel Afghan and it took living in Afghanistan to feel American.
"I think probably by far one of my favorite ones [art projects], yeah, was the pay back, which was basically a fake checkpoint set up on the street in Kabul where we offered money back to some vehicles rather than asking for bribes … trying to take something that a lot of people spoke about all the time, which was the corruption, the bribes that they have to pay and all this kind of stuff and turn it into, you know, an art work and kind of flip it on its head."

Hassina Sherjan, 51, girls' school founder and administrator.
"I really believe in what I'm doing, and when you really believe in what you do, you hardly get frustrated. I started clandestine girls schools in '90s. We have 3900 students in nine provinces. I don't really see it as an Afghan thing or an American thing. You just do what you need to do.
"As the elite who left when everything became rough, we have a responsibility to come back and do something here. Not to just be comfortable and make money but to do something. To really make a difference. And a lot of us can. There are a lot of Afghans abroad who are educated, who have done a lot of work, who understand education building, who understand governments ... but nobody is coming."

Koukaba Mojadidi, 35, an architect for International Organization for Migration in Afghanistan working on building a womens' center and police training facilities.
"I grew up in Jacksonville, Fla. Which was really boring, most of the time. Very safe, very quiet. We never struggled. Upper middle class, living on a river. Pretty fortunate.
"Both of my parents are from Afghanistan. The minute I came into my house, I was living in a different set of rules, a different context. And the minute I left my house, I was living in the real world. Having to consider both cultures at the same time, all the time. For instance, we couldn't socialize with a lot of Americans. My parents were really into keeping our heritage alive, our culture alive. There are are more differences than similarities, in my parents' minds.
"Everything in your life before you are 18 revolves around how you fit in in school, and learning how to establish yourself as an individual ... and at the same time you are balancing western ideas of your culture. Individualism (in the US) contrasts deeply to the idea of Afghan culture which is all about being a collective and being together and being close and feeling what that other person is feeling, and being emotionally enmeshed in everyone's problems."
Andrea Bruce / Alicia Patterson Foundation - NOOR
Mustafa Ali Nouri, 44, an architect for the International Organization for Migration in Afghanistan working to build a womens' center and police training facilities.
"In the end, home for me will always be Washington [DC]. The longest period of time in my life was there. I will always consider it my hometown. But I feel I have roots here. Emotions that I don't know how to explain. You feel connected to the land. Doesn't matter how dusty it is, or how terrible it might be in some ways. Even as an architect, the environmental mess, but at the same time there is something beautiful about this place.
"Because I am Afghan American, I feel I can see it better. I can see it in the eyes of the young people. They are craving to be a part of the world society. How can they go back to before 2001? You can not drag them. Either push them out or exterminate. But it is in their brain now. You can not kill that. They know now. They know what is out there in the world. They want to be. They want to have a society for themselves and for their children where they can have opportunities. They are the ones that give me a lot of hope."

Tooba Mayel, 38, Gender Justice Advisor with International Development Law Organization. She monitors protection centers who work on legal and mediation cases. IDLO's work is currently supporting the work of lawyers and training programs for prosecutors who defend victims of violence, since violence and protection laws are vague or not implemented. Training and working with local authorities is vital during this time in Afghanistan, Mayel believes.
"Being an Afghan-American to me means that I am able to unite two different worlds under one frame of thought, mind and heart that exceeds boundaries and distances. As an individual that was raised under two cultures, where experiences and circumstances have taken me from conflict to freedom, from a poor nation to a rich one, from deep rooted traditions to new and modern ideologies, but more importantly the courage and the compassion to come back where vulnerable peoples fight for human liberties.
"I have not only helped a country I call my motherland in its rehabilitation and progress, but also that same country has taught me to be sensitive to issues of human rights and not to take for granted the liberties that America has raised me with."
Photographer Bruce continues: "In the process of covering Afghanistan, I met many Afghan-Americans who said they sometimes feel caught between two different worlds. And they have felt the events of the past 20 years most harshly. When Sept. 11 happened, many saw great possibilities in combining their two homelands. Since then, some have wrestled with their identity. Others have become disillusioned. Regardless, all of them have spent a lot of time thinking about their two countries, and what dual-citizenship means to them in a time of war."

WI Dept. of Public Instruction investigates Waupun "Quiet Room"
WAUPUN -- A FOX6 investigation this week exposed how a school stuck an autistic boy in a "Quiet Room" for refusing to follow directions, and now, that story is getting results.
The story has generated tremendous buzz and was even picked up by the Associated Press, the Fond du Lac Reporter and the Green Bay Press Gazette, to name a few.
Thursday, May 17th, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction sent two staff members to Waupun to conduct an on-site review of their use of the so-called "Quiet Room" at Rock River School.
The room is a five foot by seven foot padded room, built of plywood with a hard, tile floor, no ventilation and a hold-down locking door handle.
The room is only supposed to be used when a student is violent and poses a danger to himself or others, but FOX6's investigation found that the school recently stuck an autistic boy in the room for over an hour, for refusing to follow directions.
That's something Disability Rights Wisconsin has been fighting against for years.
"There is no school in this nation that has a bunch of little angels sitting in every single classroom. At the end of the day, we'll have a better society if we teach all of our kids to behave better and don't just send those who are problems off into a separate room," Jeff Spitzer-Resnick with Disability Rights Wisconsin said.
The Waupun School District asked the state to conduct Thursday's review, but not until after FOX6 was in town, asking questions.
FOX6 spoke with Superintendent Donald Childs Thursday afternoon. He says they will have to make some physical modifications to the room by the start of the next school year, like adding floor covering and ventilation, and removing the locking handle on the door.
Childs says there may also be minor modifications to their procedures for using the room.
A full report from the state's Department of Public Instruction is expected sometime within the next 60 days.

NEW YORK, March 4 (UPI) -- African forest elephants are being poached out of existence with more than 60 percent of them lost to ivory poaching in the last 10 years, conservationists say.
"The analysis confirms what conservationists have feared: the rapid trend towards extinction -- potentially within the next decade -- of the forest elephant," said Samantha Strindberg of the Wildlife Conservation Society, lead author of a study published in the journal PLoS ONE.
The study between 2002 and 2011 surveyed elephants in five countries -- Cameroon, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon and the Republic of Congo -- and found almost a third of the land where African forest elephants were able to live 10 years ago has become too dangerous for them, the researchers said.
"Historically, elephants ranged right across the forests of this vast region of over 2 million square kilometers (more than 772,000 square miles), but now cower in just a quarter of that area," study co-author John Hart of the Lukuru Foundation said.
"Although the forest cover remains, it is empty of elephants, demonstrating that this is not a habitat degradation issue. This is almost entirely due to poaching."
The African forest elephant is slightly smaller than its better known relative the African savannah elephant and is considered by many to be a separate species.
"Saving the species requires a coordinated global effort in the countries where elephants occur -- all along the ivory smuggling routes, and at the final destination in the Far East," the study's other lead author Fiona Maisels, also of WCS, said.
"We don't have much time before elephants are gone."

When Barack Obama was seeking the presidency in 2008, he pledged to change the way Washington works. Well, it has changed all right, but he has not been the architect.
As emphatically confirmed in this week's government shutdown, that deed has been accomplished by the House Republicans, more specifically by their tea party element and by pliable House Speaker John Boehner, who so conspicuously has declined to push back against it.
There has been much transparently disingenuous GOP talk about how President Obama and the Senate Democrats refused to negotiate on changes or refunding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. But the identity of the villains in the piece is abundantly clear.
They are the diehard foes of what once was just a bill but now is the law of the land. It was legitimately enacted through the votes of Congress, declared constitutional by the Supreme Court and is being enforced by the re-elected president. Though the diehards failed to achieve Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's stated goal of making Mr. Obama "a one-tern president," they remain hell-bent on continuing to try to undo what has been legally and democratically done.
Bolstered only by public opinion polls of varying reliability, they insist that Mr. Obama's health care law is wildly unpopular, although only this week has its core element begun, enrolling the millions of American uninsured. The closest thing to a credible referendum on the matter came last November, when the American people by a comfortable margin of the popular and Electoral College vote gave Mr. Obama a second term.
This band of would-be retroactive election hijackers argues that, having failed either to repeal or defund the law, they must end-run the long-established process for killing or modifying it in Congress itself.
Laughably, at the 11th hour the hapless Mr. Boehner sought to draw the Senate Democrats into a face-saving House-Senate conference to negotiate Obamacare's death or at least changes in it. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wasted no time rejecting this obvious Republican attempt to shake off public blame for the subsequent shutdown.
Mr. Obama for once was bell-clear in putting the whole fiasco in focus. Hours before the shutdown, he reminded the anti-Obamacare obstructionists that it was their job to see to it the government met its financial responsibilities and not use the threat of refusing to do so as blackmail to get what they couldn't get by normal, legislative means.
"So Congress needs to keep our government open, needs to pay our bills on time, and never, ever threaten the full faith and credit of the United States of America," he said. Mistakenly, it turned out, he expressed a "hope and expectation" that Congress in the 11th hour and particularly the House would "choose to do the right thing."
It's doubtful, though, that President Obama really thought these diehards in the end would throw in the towel. It was clear that Mr. Boehner was captive rather than leader of the tea party faction of his House Republican flock, driven by its ideology and dislike of the president and not about to cave in.
Now the country will have to endure more of the tiresome debate over who is at fault for this incredible dereliction of congressional responsibility to assure the daily functioning of the people's government. The implementation of Obamacare will go on despite all the heat and little light spread over what is this current national calamity.
Reality insisted that Mr. Obama finally stand his ground against this single-minded partisan effort to wreck what's left of his presidency. Reality also should exact a severe price in public credibility from this rudderless Republican Party. It can't seem to find its way to play a legitimate role in governing as a majority in only one house in one branch of the federal establishment.
Unwittingly, if the voters have been paying attention, the House Republicans have given the Democrats more hope than they had reason to expect up to now, to pose a credible challenge for control of the House in next year's congressional elections. Such an effort may well determine Mr. Obama's political fate as his presidency winds down thereafter.
