Here is the story of two boys coming of age in two strangely combined families. Poetic, romantic and idealistic, it begins in 1939 and concludes after the end of World War II. It's not strictly speaking a Holocaust movie, although the dark cloud of that atrocity arches overhead.
The setting of "Simon and the Oaks" is a Swedish coastal community, where we meet Simon (Jonatan S. Wachter), a dreamy young boy drawn to the solitude of an old oak, where in a tree house he devours books and is filled with ineffable longings. His parents, Karin and Erik (Helen Sjoholm and Stefan Godicke), are salt-of-the-earth types, his dad a master carpenter. Inspired by his books, Simon is drawn to enroll in the local school. His father opposes this, seeing it as a threat to the family.
In the school, he meets a German Jewish boy named Isak (Karl Martin Eriksson), whose parents fled from the Nazis. His father, Ruben (Jan Josef Liefers), owns a bookstore in the town, and Simon regards with awe all the books he sees in its window. When a fellow student taunts Isak for being Jewish, Simon comes to his rescue and bloodies the bully's nose. Then Isak takes Simon home to meet his parents, who live in a luxurious flat above the store, filled with art and exuding sophistication.
Keep these characters in mind. There is more to them than we suspect. We gradually discover that Karin and Erik are childless and raised Simon after he was born to his unmarried Aunt Inga (Cecilia Nilsson). Simon's father was a German Jewish violinist who had a romance with Inga, which was cut short by the war. So Karin and Erik may have notions about why Simon is drawn to music and a life of the mind.
They invite Isak to come and live with them, as a refuge from anti-Semitic bullying at school. Subtly, the families merge, and it's clear Isak's father and Simon's mother are attracted to each other. Erik notices this, but exercises tactful restraint. He is compensated because Isak is as fascinated by Erik's boat building as Simon is by Ruben's bookselling. Each father gets a surrogate son. And both sons are targets for the Nazis.
We may anticipate that the movie will advance slowly through the war and reach its climax that way, but no; unlike most movies involving the Holocaust, this one places the war's end at the halfway point and leaps ahead. Now the two young actors are replaced by older ones; Simon is played by Bill Skarsgard (Stellan's son), and Isak by Karl Linnertorp.
The oak tree is not forgotten, nor the images which young Simon imagined in the cloud formations above it. Ruben takes Simon to concerts, which transport him, and gives the boy a radio-phonograph, which fills the simple seaside home with music. Subplots involve illness and sexual initiation.
The film is based on a Scandinavian best-selling novel by Marianne Fredriksson, and arrives bedecked by 13 Swedish nominations and two awards. It is unabashedly sentimental and epic, and rather bold in the way it takes place during and after the Holocaust but is not defined by it. The real story is of two unconventional families who help each other in a time fraught with danger. I was intrigued by the relationship of the two fathers, who arrive at an unspoken detente for the benefit of the two sons.

awesome :) I bought these for my 87 year old mom who is a "petit", she usually wears P14-16 ... I got her the Large, and they fit her great ! January 7, 2014
very nice, but somehow big... Very nice, fine wale. Comfortable but somehow seem too big. Especially at ankle. I like them and would recommend to others. However if you are debating between sizes, probably would choose smaller size? but I could be wrong! They do not seem to shrink. but I dry nearly every thing on low...? Good luck. I think they are worth a try even if you have to pay return postage which I detest doing. December 15, 2013

Red Sox with strong opening statement, beat Cardinals 8-1 in Game 1
Nine years after sweeping the Cardinals in the World Series, the 2013 Red Sox picked up right where the 2004 group left off as they pounded St. Louis, 8-1, in Game 1 to take a 1-0 series lead Wednesday night at Fenway Park.
Game 1 was never seriously in doubt for the Sox past the first few innings as David Ortiz put the Cards to bed for the night with a blast over the Boston bullpen in the seventh inning. Ortiz's fourth home run this postseason put the Red Sox up, 7-0.The majority of the offensive action for Boston came straight out of the chute as, in the first inning, Ortiz hit a ball up the middle that should have wound up as an easy double play for St. Louis. Shortstop Peter Kozma flat-out dropped Matt Carpenter's toss at second base, but a sliding Dustin Pedroia was called out by umpire Dana DeMuth. Red Sox manager John Farrell bolted out of the dugout and his arguing eventually paid off as the team of umpires agreed that DeMuth was in the wrong. The reversed call loaded the bases for Mike Napoli, who continued his hot streak and sent a ball shooting into the gap in left-center field. It reached the wall as Jacoby Ellsbury, Pedroia and Ortiz all scored to put the Sox up, 3-0, in the first.
The Red Sox tacked on a pair of runs off of Cards' starter Adam Wainwright in the second as well, though the damage could have been much worse for St. Louis as Ortiz was inches away from another postseason grand slam. Cardinals right fielder Carlos Beltran, however, did what Detroit's Torii Hunter could not do as he nonchalantly reached over the short Fenway fence with his glove and pulled back a would-be Ortiz homer. David Ross scored easily from third on the play but St. Louis escaped a situation which could have quickly escalated into an early blowout. Beltran did have to leave the game an inning later with a right rib contusion and it could prove to be a devastating blow to the Cardinals' chances in this series if he misses even an inning more going forward.
Jon Lester was tremendous for the Red Sox, receiving a standing ovation from the fire marshall's nightmare of a crowd at Fenway with two outs in the eighth inning. Lester wrapped things up having not allowed a run over 7.2 innings of work. He gave up five hits, walked one and struck out eight on 112 pitches.
Wainwright ended his night having pitched 5.0 innings, allowing three earned runs on six hits. He struck out four and walked one on 95 pitches.
Game 2 is Thursday night, again at Fenway (8:07 p.m., FOX).
What they'll be saying: The big news coming out of Game 1 was regarding the health of Beltran and the health of Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz. Beltran was hitting .337 in postseason play heading into the series and was one of the more potent bats in the Cards' lineup. If he's done, St. Louis is likely done.
If that's the case, the status of Buchholz might not even matter. After a day of questioning, the Red Sox finally stated that Buchholz won't start Game 3 Saturday in St. Louis as he is not "100 percent." Jake Peavy will get the start Saturday for Boston. One would think if the Sox took the next two games that Buchholz would be held out of Game 4 as well as Boston would have a comfortable lead in the series. It also appears that they aren't too confident in the righty right now as he has appeared shaky at times this postseason.
In the big picture, the Red Sox took a huge step forward in their quest to win the eighth title in franchise history. They outclassed St. Louis for much of the night and the early returns show that the Cards may not be able to match Boston's offensive firepower – particularly if Ortiz and Napoli keep up this pace.

By day, Fredericksburg resident Rahmein Mostafavi works for a company that creates museum exhibits. By night, he's a stand-up comedian and producer of comedy shows under his Cool Cow Comedy brand.
How'd you get into comedy?
I was a professional actor for about 15 years, just a regular old theater actor. I was at Shakespeare Theatre Company right out of college; then I did "Shear Madness" at the Kennedy Center. Then I started a family and had three kids, and the theater life is kind of hectic. I decided I'd try to keep my foot on the stage, so I dared myself to try stand-up comedy, and once I did it I was hooked. It becomes like an addiction.
You're Iranian-American. How does that play into your comedy?
It makes it possible for me to threaten the crowd into laughing more, and then if they don't, I make good on my threats. It's an easy place to stand when you go up there and say, "Ha, ha, terrorism, ha, ha, bombs." I do like to make it a point to tell people I'm Iranian-American, because most of the time we're only exposed to negative things about the Middle East. I want people to say, "Oh, that guy's Iranian? He's alright." We fear what we don't know.
You'd think it'd be hard, not easy, to make jokes about terrorism.
It's easy because it's already uncomfortable. When you're cooking up a comedy recipe, one of the things you can put into the mix is tension. I do an impression of a suicide bomber who runs into a coffee shop and his bomb doesn't go off. It's a true story. In my impression, he says he was kidding and orders a mocha frappuccino. Also I've qualified myself to be poking fun at Middle Eastern stuff by saying I'm Iranian. It's a lot of irony.

Our public service announcements encourage Alaskans to join in preventing domestic and sexual violence in Alaska. The focus of our ad series is to let Alaskans know that help is available to both victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and to those who perpetrate violence. The series also calls attention to the work the Council is doing to reduce violence, to men's roles in stopping domestic violence and sexual assault in our state, and to youth prevention efforts.
The latest Public Service Announcements in the Council's efforts to change social norms around violence include the two PSAs below that are focused on safe actions bystanders can take to prevent or address sexual assault or domestic violence. These spots build on our previous work and their aim is to show what choosing respect can look like in real situations Alaskans encounter.
The "Real Alaskans Choose Respect" and the "Real Alaska Men Choose Respect" statewide campaigns aired on a wide range of stations throughout the state. The public service announcements focus on two themes: getting help if you are a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault and the role men have to play in changing attitudes toward violence.
This spot features Standing Together Against Rape (STAR) in Anchorage.
This spot features Oscar Degruy.
This spot features Velma Koontz of Fairbanks.
This spot features storyteller Gene Tagaban, who grew up in Juneau, Alaska.
This spot features NBA star Carlos Boozer, who grew up in Juneau, Alaska.
This spot was our first PSA focused on teaching respect.
This spot features Alaska's former Attorney General and current Commissioner of Public Safety talking about domestic violence and sexual assault – It's a Crime!
This spot features Governor Sean Parnell talking about choosing respect.
Alaska Governor Sean Parnell introduces programming aimed at educating Alaskans about healing from domestic violence and sexual assault to air on Alaska Public Television 360 North and KTOO, and on GCI Cable Networks

"The Landslide" singer tells Rolling Stone magazine, "At a certain point, I'm going to get too old for this, but making this album really shows that I'm not done yet."
She also admitted to have never been excited by a project like this since the 1981 "Bella Donna". She hopes to release the effort next year around March and it will include "rock & roll reminiscent of her best solo work."

Throughout the first season of HBO's new series The Newsroom, a few of our writers will analyze and discuss each episode in detail. Beware of spoilers.
For other episode discussions, check our pop culture page.
Vinny Ginardi: Finally! A narrative that will stretch over multiple episodes!
I've been back and forth on this series thus far, and I'm not sure if the longer narrative will prove to be successful, but I'm glad that the writers took a risk. Storylines that stretch over multiple episodes or seasons tend to be more captivating and produce a much higher level of "I can't wait until next week" feel. I mentioned last week that The Newsroom had begun to become a bit too formulaic for my liking, so I'm hoping that this will be a refreshing change.
Overall, I thought that this was one of the strongest episodes that we have seen in a while. The phone hacking plot and the whole idea of Charlie having a Deep Throat-like source has piqued my interest and the screaming exchange between Mackenzie and Sloan was one of the best scenes that we have seen in the series. Hopefully the last two episodes will bring us to a strong finish.
Mike Aurigemma: I really could not agree more on this last episode finally giving me a feeling that a storyline will make me want to see what happens in the next week. My father was the one who brought it up to me how the episodes really do not leave you hanging at all. He thought of it as a good thing whereas I see it as a bad thing for a show. I like shows where I cannot just watch an episode in the middle of the season and understand the whole premise of what is going on. This is why I tend to stay away from shows like Law and Order or CSI. The Newsroom may have avoided feeling like one of those shows as I finally feel it reeled me in.
The idea of Charlie having a source that will be able to give him some leverage is perfect as I really did not see this ending very well for Mackenzie and Will. Now there is a new twist and I think it is a perfect time to implement this into the show. You could tell that Will was startinig to break on the idea of the new show and had to give in, but the source that Charlie has will help them in the long run. This show has to go out and finish up strong now if it wants to keep the audience it has.

Girl Scout makes care packages for animals to earn Gold Award
KATY (Jan. 26, 2011) – Girl Scout Ambassador Lindsey C. created care packages for animals at Citizens for Animal Protection to earn the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition.
"I learned how to work with and lead many different types of people," says Lindsey, a 2010 graduate of Seven Lakes High School. "I learned to work with all age groups and how to organize a food drive."
Earning the Gold Award is a significant honor that requires recipients to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills, career planning, community involvement and personal development. It takes more than 100 service hours and two to three years of intensive work to complete the award requirements, which include planning and completing a project that is a service to the community.
"I chose this project because animals are very important to me and all animals need help," explains Lindsey. "Foster animals are often forgotten, so I wanted to help them."
To make the care packages, Lindsey organized a food drive and held workshops to sew toys and bags, make blankets and bake treats. She collected enough pet food and toys to fill an Expedition and car. The workshops lasted four to six hours a day for six days and had about nine attendees.
"Lindsey learned the important role effective leadership plays in motivating others to participate and succeed in completing community service projects as her own," says Evangelina Connors, Lindsey's mother. "She also learned how challenging it is to get others to commit with very busy schedules. Most importantly, she learned the care packages were much needed by the foster pet homes who carry the financial burden."
As a member of Girl Scouts, Lindsey participated in STARRS and cookie sales. At Seven Lakes High School, she was involved in theater and National Honor Society. An aspiring chef, she has placed in many cooking competitions and has earned a scholarship from the Greater Houston Restaurant Association. Currently, she attends the Culinary Institute of American and is majoring in baking and pastry management.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 72,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.

News and notes will be emerging throughout the day. This post will be updated as new pieces of information come in (newest at the top)…
- Outfielder Collin Cowgill arrived at camp, and spoke with Adam Rubin about proving his doubters wrong. Cowgill is who I'm predicting to be the team's most valuable bench piece this season.
- For a tremendous recap of Fred Wilpon's talk with reporters earlier today, read this piece from Adam Rubin of ESPN.
- Mike Piazza will be joining Mike Francesa on WFAN tomorrow at 3:00 PM.
- Sandy Alderson will be a guest of Mike Francesa on WFAN 660 AM at 1:20 PM.
- Getting back to on the field stuff, Terry Collins said Frank Francisco might not be able to resume throwing for two weeks. To be specific, Collins is referring to Francisco simply being able to toss a baseball, not complete a bullpen session. I'd be stunned if Francisco was ready for opening day. Even if Francisco is ready, Collins noted that Bobby Parnell could win the role of closer outright.
- According to Andy Martino, Wilpon wasn't just referring to the Madoff settlement allowing the Mets' finances to get back on firm footing. He also cited the overall improvement of the economy, and the current state of his real estate business.
- As far as the team spending big next year on free agents, Wilpon said that the team will be "big investors" if it's "appropriate." In that same vein, he noted that it's his goal to break even, while saying he's willing to do what it takes for the team to be competitive – saying the payroll could go as high as $140 million or $150 million.
- Mets owner Fred Wilpon is currently addressing the media. Wilpon is optimistic about the future, and told the beat writers that there are "zero limitations going forward" as far as the payroll is concerned, while stating it could go back to the level it was at while Omar Minaya was general manager. Wilpon went on to say that he's "free and clear" of the monetary issues that handcuffed the team during the Bernard Madoff mess. Wilpon also touched on the issue of Terry Collins' contract situation, and noted that he doesn't expect it to be addressed until after the conclusion of the season.
- Jonathon Niese is throwing his first bullpen session since arriving at camp.
- Here's Alderson's response to the Frank Francisco situation, from Adam Rubin: "On Francisco, Alderson said swelling 'not alarming.' Cryptically said Francisco had offseason personal issues." Alderson later added that Francisco's "personal issues" were related to deaths in the family. Alderson implied that the deaths in the family impacted Francisco's ability to properly rehab, and may have led to his current health issue.
- Sandy Alderson is addressing the media. Per Adam Rubin, Alderson said the Mets made a "strong effort" to sign Michael Bourn, but would not have included a fifth year vesting option in the contract if it came to it.
- Today is the first official workout for pitchers and catchers. The team has recently taken the field.
- Per the Mets, both the May 24th and July 3rd games will have fireworks promotions after their conclusion.
- Andy Martino says Johan Santana's first bullpen session of the spring is scheduled for Sunday.
- With Frank Francisco shut down and Bobby Parnell next in line, Marc Carig of Newsday reports that Terry Collins called Parnell last night to officially inform him of his new role. In addition, Carig quotes Parnell as saying he feels like he's "better prepared" (for the role) than he was in the past.

Community theater auditions
The Blaine Community Theater is holding auditions for the fall production of Moon Over Buffalo.
Ken Ludwig wrote the boisterous comedy, set in a run-down theater in Buffalo. The play follows a couple of veteran almost-been actors struggling to grasp at one last shot at the big time.
The upcoming auditions will fill a dozen roles for men and women from their late teens to their golden years. The group is also looking for people to fill a number of behind the scenes roles. Community theater is for everyone, experienced or not, said director Spiral Barrett. We need folks who want to learn how to put together a set, create and organize props and costumes, operate lights or sound, handle publicity and many other tasks.
Auditions are at 7 p.m., July 15 and 16 at the Performing Arts Center, and actors will be asked to read unprepared a piece of the script. Actors will need to commit to a rehearsal schedule leading to performances September 20 to 29.
For more information, call Barrett after noon at 332-2042.

The new year in Georgia will bring changes to the state's tax code, but would-be abortion restrictions are on hold.
Lawmakers voted to ban abortions starting 20 weeks after fertilization. There are exceptions for pregnancies where a fetus is deemed unlikely to survive or when a pregnancy threatens the life or health of the mother. But a Fulton County judge has put a temporary block on the law while she considers a constitutional challenge.
Parts of a tax overhaul will also take effect in the New Year. Starting Jan. 1, manufacturers will be exempt from paying the state sales tax on energy used to produce their goods. The agricultural industry will enjoy a similar tax break. The personal exemption for married couples filing jointly will rise from $5,400 to $7,400.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This card looks and feels great and fits perfectly with the save the date and wedding invitation from stunning flourish. We have received many positive reactions to these cards. The designers helped to perfect our photo in the frame, and the result looked stunning!"
"Our thank you cards turned out beautiful!! The photo quality and colors are perfect. All four photos are very vibrate with the actual colors from the photos! We couldn't be happier with what we ordered. All of our products that we ordered from wedding paper divas turned out amazing! We got lots of compliments on our save the date cards, wedding invitations and will probably get lots of compliments on our thank you cards when our guests receive them!!"
"I am very happy with the quality of the card. It is a little difficult to get them in the envelope, but I will take it, as it is because of the heavy card stock the cards are on. I will hand that task off to my husband to do."
"I love that I put my picture on the postcard. It was like designing my own postcard. I also was pleasantly surprised how much text you could type on it. I liked the design so much I put the postcards in envelopes so they didn't get messed up by the post office."
"I ordered cards with a photo on the front and when i folded them, part of our faces was on the crease of the fold. I called customer service immediately and she looked and my order and confirmed what I had said, she went ahead and order all new cards, next day shipped them to me, and removed the charge for original shipping! What could have been a disaster was handled wonderfully, great product and will definitely order again!"

Aleon Craft - The Stargazing Soundtrack
Production: Doe, Roundtable Kings, SMKA, Sol Messiah
Lead Single: Donkey Kong
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 6 total votes )
Stop me if you've heard this one before. There's this rapper from Atlanta, although to call him a "rapper" is unnecessarily limiting, and he's got a sound that's equally grounded in the streets and soaring amongst the stars. While he predictably meets resistance for his boundary-breaking ways, ultimately fans, and even a handful of haters, are won over by his irrepressible creativity and uniqueness. Sound familiar? While the intro above could apply to Andre, B.o.B. and a handful of other ATL rappers (seriously, what do they put in the water there?), today it's an apt …

DJBooth Album Review
Sound familiar? While the intro above could apply to Andre, B.o.B. and a handful of other ATL rappers (seriously, what do they put in the water there?), today it's an apt description of the constantly bearded, often-hooded Aleon Craft. Having made his mark with his group Da Backwudz, Aleon's continuing to pull fans into his orbit with his new mixalbum The Stargazing Soundtrack, a far-reaching project created in conjunction with SMKA that admittedly not everyone will enjoy. You know what? Fine. They can stay here on Earth while us more adventurous folk enjoy the cosmic scenery. (That just sounded super hippie, didn't it?)
I have to say, Aleon's style is an acquired taste. Unlike the onslaught of candy bar rappers (enjoyable, but you're hungry five minutes later) being shoved down our throats daily, Aleon's perpetually breathy, drawn out, strangely accented flow is more like well-aged Scotch. You take a sip and have to pause as it burns your taste buds for a moment. Then you take another sip, and another, and before you know it, you're hammered and ordering a fourth drink. Did that make any sense? Let me be more specific: the first time I heard Aleon, on the pounding ode to gorilla-sized booty Donkey Kong, I just didn't connect. And then, thirty minutes later I was hearing Aleon's hazy hook running through my head, and when it was still there later that night I had to log back onto the Booth for another listen. So by the time Stargazing's next track rolled along, A Different World, I was ready, or at least I thought I was. While I knew enough to press play in the kind of mellowed out mood conducive to Aleon enjoyment, here Aleon's lyrics revealed a far more personal, soulful and strongly rooted rapper than we heard on Donkey Kong. It wouldn't be the first time Aleon broke my expectations. From the inspirational and smooth Brand New Day to the love, or something like it, ballad Early Moan, which he incongruously begins by whispering "supermarket knife attack" (um….ok then), The Stargazing Soundtrack's only rule is that there are no rules.
Of course, while Aleon's name may be at the top of the Stargazing marquee, ATL production team SMKA, spearheaded here by 808 Blake (of The 808 Experiment fame), deserve just as much credit. If Stargazing were Avatar, Aleon would be Jake Sully and SMKA would be Col. Quaritch. They may not be the star, but without their powerful performance the movie wouldn't be nearly as compelling. (Goddamn that was a dope analogy. Props to me.) Not only do SMKA provide the fuel for Aleon's experimentation, several tracks reveal a master hand solely on the production's merits alone. As catchy as its chopped beat may sound at first, it's Yoga Flame's final minute, when the song unexpectedly morphs into a country-stomping, Southern rock anthem, that truly distinguishes itself. Who else would launch a track like Yoga Flame into such a wildly unexpected direction? Sorry, that was a rhetorical question. No one. The same goes for Time Machine, a cut that finds, much to my personal delight, SMKA sampling the uncaterogizable (yeah, I know it's not a word) band Cake, and just for good measure, the atmospheric Break Room delivers a quasi-rock jam worthy of fellow dope weirdo and Atlanta resident Cee-Lo. Not to discredit Aleon's sizable contributions, but in many ways Stargazing Soundtrack owes its high relistenability (also not a word) factor first and foremost to SMKA.
Like in any lab, not every experiment on The Stargazing Soundtrack carried out works. Back to the D.E.C.'s television theme show vibe is interesting, but a cut like this demands more muscular production – the vocals completely overwhelm the beat – and there's a fine line between minimalistic and disconnected, and Wayne unfortunately ends up on the wrong side of the line (especially considering the deeply personal subject matter). But falters like these are the price we pay for greatness, and it's such a small price I won't waste another syllable discussing it. Instead, let us celebrate The Stargazing Soundtrack as another shot fired in the war against mediocrity and predictability, a war I'm proud to be fighting alongside Aleon Craft and SMKA.

Ironic —
The city may be praising Chicago police for a job well done after the NATO Summit, but the thank you stops there.
The Fraternal Order of Police recently filed a grievance against the city for its decision not to give officers compensation for working a sixth or seventh consecutive day during a single calendar week, despite it being in their contract, according to a post on the FOP's website.
The post states: "The wording of Section 20.3 of our contract could not be any more unambiguous. It states: An officer who is in pay status for six (6) or seven (7) consecutive days within the pay period Sunday through Saturday will be compensated at the rate of time-and-one-half for work performed on the sixth (6th) day and seventh (7th) day."
This is the fourth grievance the FOP has filed since the Summit ended Monday, including a grievance against the city's stance that officers could not request compensation for overtime worked during the summit.
Source: http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/Chicago-Police-Fight-For-NATO-Summit-Compensation-154160925.html#ixzz1vvY0qKv4
Great article by the Chicago Tribune about the "Militarized Red Zone" that is being set up by police already, for the May 20th NATO summit.
I am impressed by this article because it addresses the double standard of the media to imply that the increased security is necessary for the Occupy Chicago protesters (which have been fully peaceful up to this point), as opposed to the wider pattern across the nation of police being involved with and inciting violence at most OWS protests.
The article chronicles historical examples of when police incited violence within peaceful protests to give them bad press. For example:
We've seen this script play out before. Under the notorious government COINTELPRO program of the 1960s and '70s, police and FBI operatives would infiltrate civil rights and anti-war organizations and, finding nothing that could justify surveillance let alone repression, would invent or actively encourage violence and other illegal actions.
Closer to today, any serious look at the "poster child" for alleged protester violence, the 1999 World Trade Organization protests in Seattle, shows that the police were the main cause of the violence.
Don't take my word for it. Seattle's former chief of police, Norm Stamper, has said so, repeatedly. He blamed not just the actions of rank-and-file officers but his own decision-making.
And juries of our peers have agreed with Stamper's assessment, repeatedly. Seattle paid out $1.8 million to WTO protesters due to the violence and other misconduct of its police officers. Washington, D.C., paid out $22 million to protesters and bystanders due to police violence and other misconduct during two protests in 2000 and 2002. Los Angeles paid close to $12.85 million for a police attack on a 2007 May Day rally. And in February, Chicago agreed to pay $6.2 million to Iraq War demonstrators, on top of millions in attorneys' fees.

Playing with dolls was never at the top of LeAnn Rimes' "Things To Do" list. Even at the age of two, she was playing superstar -- not house.
In just a short time, however, simply playing superstar has become a thing of the past. Today, LeAnn
actually lives the role. She's 14 years old and can sing the brick right off the walls of the house. Despite loads of press,
which has often tagged her as a "14-year-old singing sensation," as well as a youngster who's missing out on a normal childhood,
LeAnn is ultimately happy with her premature adult life.
"I've been singing on stage since I was five," explains LeAnn,
who just recently walked off the Academy of Country Music Awads Show stage with three more top honors. "So I've been in this
business for a long time and I've never judged my work by age. I just hope nobody really does. I hope they see me as an artist
and think of me for my music, because I'm not always going to be 14. Hopefully, when I'm 25, they're still not going to be
calling me a 25-year-old singing sensation. Hopefully, my music is good enough to stand on its own right now. And when I'm
25, they'll be able to say 'She was good then, but she's still good now and it wasn't an age thing.'"
Along with the
enormous praise for her singing talent, the Jackson, Mississippi native has learned to repeatedly defend herself for the lifestyle
she's chosen.
"Basically, I just tell them that this was my decision and this is what I've always loved to do," explains
LeAnn. "So if I did miss out on my childhood, it was my decision to do so.
"I love to go and be a normal person every
once and a while and hang out with all my friends," continues LeAnn. "All my friends have always been older than me. I've
never really had that many friends my age, just because I've grown up in a business world all my life. And I've just never
had the desire to play with toys. When I was very little, I did that, but now, I'm really focused on my career."
LeAnn is only focusing now, imagine the results when her career is under total control. In just one short year, the singer
has ridden a whirlwind of success, including her Curb debut album, Blue, now being certified quadruple platinum, launching
a jam-packed tour schedule and racking up on awards and nominations like there's no tomorrow.
Having just received
three new ACM awards for Top New Female Vocalist, as well as both the Single and Song of the Year for "Blue," she's already
garnered several other honors in a matter of months. She snagged the Best New Country Artist honors at this year's American
Music Awards, and took home two surprising Grammys for both Best New Artist and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. The
thought of winning the Grammy's Best New Artist trophy still has yet to sink in.
"I was shocked!" LeAnn admits. "It
was a major shock -- being one of the only people to be nominated from country music. And I never thought that I would be
the first one in country music they would let win. Like I said, it was very shocking and I think I'm still shocked and just
can't believe it."
As equally thrilling for the blooming superstar has been the acceptance and compliments she's received
from fellow artists in the country arena. "Oh, it feels great," she says. "All the country artists that I've met, especially
the ones that I've really looked up to for a long time, have really been behind me 100-percent and really supportive. And
everybody has been really nice. People like Wynonna, Reba and Vince, I'll go up to them and say 'I love your music,' and for
them to say 'I love your music back,' is such a big thrill and honor. It's all been a bit overwhelming because I feel like
I've packed about three years into 9 1/2 months. But it's been a lot of fun."
On the other side of the fun factor
is, believe it or not, the business side of LeAnn. While gracing the stage and recording studio with her talented vocal charm,
she's also learned that along with the song and dance comes a dollar and a decision.
I'm very involved in the business
part of my career," she states, "and nothing really gets past me, I guess you could say. I think it's very important, because
one day I'll have to be able to run all this by myself or with other people. I'll have to be able to make business decisions
for myself throughout the years. So I guess starting now as young as I am and growing with it, will help a lot."
is already helping out a lot, but it's certainly not easy -- especially when it means trying to cram in several subjects while
on a tour bus en route to another concert. "I have a tutor and so far, it's working out really well. I'm really trying to
keep up with school right now, but it does get pretty hectic trying to fit it all in."
But there's probably not anything
that wouldn't fit into LeAnn's brand new bedroom. Talk about a teenager's heaven...
"We just bought a new house and
they're building my bedroom right now," LeAnn says excitedly. "It's above the garage and is 837 sq. feet. The closet is 13
by 13 feet and ten feet tall. When I first walked in and they had already got the frame-work done, I looked at it and I knew
I was going to have a bedroom and a sitting room. I looked at it and the part that I thought was my sitting room was my closet,"
she laughs. "I couldn't believe that. It is huge, but I love it."
What else does the music world's teen queen love?
"I would love to do something outside of country music with maybe Celine Dion or Barbra Streisand," says LeAnn. "That
would be kind of cool. In singing with a male singer, I'd want to sing with Vince Gill or Bryan White.
In addition
to duet dreams, selling more albums, releasing more hit singles and performing across more of the world, this dynamic "not-so-old"
singer simply likes living her less-than-normal childhood quite normally, actually.
"Oh yeah, I love to roller-blade.
And then there's my worst habit--shopping."

Home Cooking While Sick: TJ's Quick Prep Favorites
Of all the things we love about fall, one thing we're not so crazy about is the beginning of cold and flu season. Some of us have already been suffering through an early bug.
We're nearly useless in the kitchen when we're not feeling well, but keeping a few heat-and-serve items in our pantry keeps us from constantly reaching for the takeout soup menus.
Here are five of our favorites from Trader Joe's...
- Pouches of TJ's Indian Fare like Palak Paneer or Madras Lentils can be heated in minutes and served with a piece of frozen Garlic Naan or perhaps some frozen Organic Brown Rice. Comfort food goodness with a little bit of spice to clear the sinuses.
- Sure, we pride ourselves on making a mean batch of rich and creamy homemade mac and cheese, but on a sick day, we're perfectly happy with a box of TJ's Organic Shells & White Cheddar. That's right, mac and cheese from a box. Save the rich stuff for when your tastebuds are back to full strength.
- We've long been fans of TJ's cartons of soup and use it occasionally to round out our meals. But when we're under the weather, it's great as a main dish, particularly a bowl of the Carrot Ginger variety.
- Speaking of soup, another standby is TJ's Instant Miso Soup.
- For a healing hot drink, our first choice is Sara Kate's recipe for Flu Season Ginger Honey Lemon Tonic, but on those rare days when we can't muster the strength to peel and chop our own ginger, we reach for a bottle of TJ's Lemon Ginger Echinacea Juice.
Hopefully, you won't need to take any of these suggestions this fall and winter. Be healthy!

May I recommend TJs frozen macaroni--it is unbelievable cheesy and delicious, fantastic comfort food.
Also, the frozen cioppino is really, really good. Get a loaf of ciabatta to go with. :)
For a ginger kick, the easiest thing is Ginger Yogi Tea. I'm not a big fan of most of the Yogi teas, but the ginger tea is pretty strong and makes me feel much better. Also its pretty cheap at TJ's.
got home later than anticipated last night and i was so satisfyed after whipping up a quick and enjoyable "meal" of TJs shrimp gyoza and thawed frozen edamame.
Tonight's plan is garlic naan, briyani and korma, all care of TJs as well.
TJ's is the best thing ever for busy people. I keep gyoza on hand most of the time and sometimes their calzones. Insta-food for when I haven't got time/energy/ingredients to make anything else.
Another great fallback for me is scrambled eggs over rice with ketchup.
I have to say, I was really impressed with Trader Joe's frozen foods.
LOVE the frozen naan bread, even the boyfriend (who's english, and therefore has eaten a lot of naan) said it was really good!
I was also impressed with the frozen teriyaki chicken and orange chicken.
Trader Joe's opens in Brooklyn next Friday...
Their fresh naan is good too. And the red pepper tomato soup is my go-to dinner for when I'm sick. That and grilled cheese...mmm!
I'm happy it's finally fall so I can start eating soup again. :)
When I'm sick I make garlic-jalapeno soup. I throw a big elephant garlic clove (or about six regular cloves) and one jalapeno in the food processor with a quarter of an onion (or a spring onion if I have one), blend them up, then saute them for a couple of seconds. I pour 6 cups of broth and 2 of water over it, add 1/2 tsp of pepper, and sometimes add noodles. It is like magic for the sinuses, and when you have a terrible cold, you can still taste it!
When I'm not sick I find it pretty heinous.
TJ's Indian Fare (shown above) is simply amazing and convenient for this vegetarian.
The mandarin chicken is great when you don't have time to cook a meal. I also love their pre-grilled chicken for those of us apartment dwellers who don't have the luxury of a barbeque. It's perfect for salads, making fajitas, stir fry........
Dear Lord! The LAST thing I want to eat when I'm sick to my stomach and flu-ish is indian food. YIKES.
We spent a week of colds last week making chicken soup or kale-potato soup with our frozen homemade chicken stock. Very handy!
I like TJ's 4-cheese pizza crust, which we load with shredded mozarella and other good stuff on a slow night.
although I often turn to TJ's indian food and frozen naan for a quick dinner when I don't feel like cooking, I have to say that if you happen to have an Indian grocer nearby, buy your boxes of heat-and-serve food from them. The price is pretty much the same ($2.49 vs $2.19 at TJ's in Seattle), but they are so much better. Less salt, more complexity of flavor, and more pieces of paneer in the palak paneer. And they have more variety to choose from.
And if you're feeling adventurous, ethnic stores have so many fun food items to try for really cheap.

"Although Cisco obviously has customers who have responded to the value of stacking, their stacking implementation is far less robust than the SN6000," said QLogic spokesman, Steve Zivanic.
Additionally, Vallhonrat said HP's own Simple SAN Connection Manager software allows storage administrators to manage their HP StorageWorks SN6000 switches, along with host servers and StorageWorks StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array and Modular Smart Array storage systems all through a single interface.
The StorageWorks SN6000 switches will retail for $10,500 with a single power supply and $13,500 with a dual power supply.
"I think the Fibre Channel switch business needs more competition and because Cisco's at war with so many server vendors, a third supplier like QLogic becomes more viable," Vallente said. "I think this gives QLogic credibility in a market where they don't have a footprint whatsoever."

Isolated mountain thunderstorms and rain showers not withstanding, northern Utah looked for slightly cooler and drier weather on Friday.
That forecast for the Wasatch Front was nearly identical to the National Weather Service's menu for Thursday — mostly clear, sunny skies and high temperatures in the mid- to upper-90s.
Southern Utahns anticipated Friday evening thunderstorms after highs sizzling to 106 degrees, up 2 degrees from Thursday's forecast.
The NWS had a Hazardous Weather Outlook in place through the weekend for the western two-thirds of the state as drier air spread into Utah from the Pacific Northwest. Forecasters warned that isolated heavy rainfall could trigger flash floods and mudslides.
The Utah Division of Air Quality graded Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, Utah, Cache, Box Elder, Duchesne and Washington counties as "moderate" or unhealthy for sensitive groups; Uintah earned a "good" air designation.
The Intermountain Allergy & Asthma website noted that only mold, at "high," and chenopods, at "moderate," showed elevated levels on its pollen index.
Salt Lake City's high temperature for Friday was expected to hit 98, the same as Thursday; Ogden looked for 95 both days; Provo 97 and 96, respectively; Wendover 91 and 96; Duchesne 90s; Cedar City 90 and 94; St. George 104 and 106; and Moab 98 and 97 degrees.

Authorities are confirming one death as a result of Friday's storms that moved through Alabama. The death happened on the grounds of Farley Nuclear Plant in Dothan.
Houston County Sheriff Andy Hughes says the victim was an employee of the plant but was off work at the time of his death.
The victim was volunteering for the Farley family picnic day that was set to take place Saturday.
Sheriff Hughes says heavy winds swept through and a tent struck the man in the head.

Every week, the NHL on TSN panel voices its opinions on the hot topics of the day in the NHL on TSN Quiz.
TSN.ca offers you the opportunity to chime in on the big issues with the Insiders. Read the questions and answers from TSN's hockey experts and give us your thoughts in the Your Call feature.
If you were Canucks' GM Mike Gillis, would you consider trading Roberto Luongo?
Peter Laviolette: No, there are far too few good goalies and he certainly is one of them.
Darren Pang: No, you don't trade a goaltender like that. First of all, he's your foundation player. They need a lot of players and he's the reason why they would attract a lot of free agents. But I would take away the captaincy from him and give it to a player.
Bob McKenzie: Possibly, because he's a year away from unrestricted free agency and you have to sit down, talk to him and find out what it will take to re-sign him. You have to bring other players in but you have to know what it's going to cost you long-term. So I would at least explore the possibility of trading him.
Who would you name as the ultimate warrior of the playoffs so far?
Peter Laviolette: Milan Lucic, Boston Bruins. Before the playoffs started, I wanted to see this guy play and he has not disappointed. The reason why the Bruins are in Game 7 is because he picked up his game in Game 5. He also had a big assist in Game 6 so I'm excited to see him play in Game 7.
Darren Pang: Dustin Byfuglien, Chicago Blackhawks. He has really emerged in the playoffs. In the regular season, he was a little bit inconsistent and you wondered what kind of game you would get. The Blackhawks have gotten it all from Byfuglien in the playoffs. He's been a big factor.
Bob McKenzie: Brooks Orpik, Pittsburgh Penguins. On a team of thoroughbreds, you need a plow horse back there. He gets his nose dirty all the time and I really like the job he's done.
Who has done the most during the playoffs to enhance his Olympic prospects?
Bob McKenzie: Corey Perry, Anaheim Ducks. He's big and strong and goes to the net. He plays an ugly game and, while he gets out on the edge sometimes, he really knows how to score goals and score goals when it matters most.
Darren Pang: Eric Staal, Carolina Hurricanes. How many centremen can you have on the team and how many can you have that can play the wing? I think he was a question mark coming into the playoffs but Hockey Canada is looking for guys that want the puck in crucial situations and he has proven that he can be that guy.
Peter Laviolette: Cam Ward, Carolina Hurricanes. The key word in the question is enhanced. Ward went from possibly being on the team to possibly being the starter for Team Canada. I think he has enhanced his position to be the #1 goaltender.
Who should/will the New York Islanders take in the Entry Draft?
Darren Pang: Should take Victor Hedman. You're talking about a foundation player who is 6'6", can move his feet and move the puck up the ice. We all saw the development of Chris Pronger at an early age and look what he's turned out to be.
Peter Laviolette: Should take John Tavares. The Islanders are building right now and what better way to build than to take a young prospect who can put the puck in the back of the net. You can build your team around a goal scorer.
Bob McKenzie: Will take Victor Hedman. But I won't say they will take him at #1. By the time it's all said and done, the Islanders will have Hedman but not necessarily pick him first overall.

World-Press Scrutinizes Bribery in India
A senior finance official says legalizing paying a bribe to a public official — if the official extorted the money — would encourage those who are victimized to report the crime; in related news, a new Indian website allows people to document bribery … or simply vent
One of India's top economic advisers last week issued an unusual recommendation to improve transparency in government, saying that certain bribes should be made legal.
London's Daily Telegraph reports that India's minister of finance, Kaushik Basu, only wants to decriminalize a specific type of bribe, typically called a "harassment bribe," where officials demand below-the-table cash for performing their official functions.
According to the Hindu, Basu says that because paying a harassment bribe is illegal, both sides have an interest in keeping it quiet.
Reports the BBC's Soutik Biswas: "At a time when India is fiercely debating corruption after being hit by an avalanche of scandals, Prof. Basu's radical prescription has predictably kicked up a storm. India's communist politicians — usually suspicious about new ideas — have trashed it as a 'dangerous and unethical proposal.' 'Making it legal to pay bribes,' said a communist functionary, 'would undermine the values of honesty and integrity. Indeed, it would make people who don't pay bribes look like fools.'"
In related news, the Associated Press reports that a new website is allowing Indians to vent about the bribery epidemic. Ipaidabribe.com is an outlet for mounting frustration in a society experiencing logarithmic economic growth while being stuck with a primitive regulatory infrastructure.
The AP reports that, in its eight months of existence, the site has documented about $8 million in bribes, with the largest number paid to police.
I don't think that they should be allowed to pay bribes. It makes it unfair to people who can not afford bribes. This will only increase the gap between the rich and the poor. The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. This is not a good approach to allow people to pay others in order not to do something or to be able to get away with something. This will also hurt the government, because as it says that police are the ones being bribed the most, people are paying the police to let them go or to get away with something illegal. This can only cause more problems for India.
