Task Force Unmasks 'Stepford Convention'
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) denounced attempts by the GOP to mask itself as a party of moderation at this week's convention. NGLTF, the country's oldest national gay and lesbian civil rights group, pointed to the platform and convention's content versus the veneer of reduced rhetoric.
In a convention analysis, the Task Force pointed to the difference between 1992's GOP convention in Houston and this year's event, especially in terms of overt hostile rhetoric. "Perhaps we should claim victory," stated Task Force executive director Melinda Paras. "Years of organizing and activism have changed the way a majority of Americans feel about gay people. The homophobic, divisive and hateful rhetoric so prominent in Houston in 1992 will not play now. And the Republican leadership knows this. We have made prime-time gay bashing a political liability. We have taught them they cannot win the election if they reveal their true face. It is our job now to tear off their mask," added Paras.
"The American people will see that the true face of the GOP is that of Pat Buchanan and the Christian Coalition. In fact, it's Pat's Platform, lock, stock and barrel," continued Paras. Paras charged the GOP with rewriting its checkered history related to AIDS funding by falsely claiming a record of support for AIDS research and prevention.
"This is nothing but a bold-faced lie," stated Paras. "It was this GOP that placed serious limits on the efforts of AIDS educators to speak plainly about sex and sexuality. This is a platform that, while it claims to support equal opportunity for all, continues to perpetuate discrimination against gay people and inadequate AIDS/HIV funding," added Paras.
Despite speeches by Colin Powell invoking the party of Lincoln and celebrating diversity, Jack Kemp, a conservative with a humane face, and Susan Molinari, a woman of the "post-feminist" generation who combines career and motherhood, it's extremely difficult to find any real moderate voices at the GOP convention
According to Paras, "There is a strange, almost surreal atmosphere presiding over San Diego. All the delegates, podium speakers, GOP officials, and, for that matter, much of the media, are mouthing the message."
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

The three people selected by the WSC Institutional Council are Elliot L. Richardson, Mrs. Wilda Gene Glasmann Hatch and George Stoddard Eccles. They were selected in a brief special meeting of the council Wednesday morning. In addition to getting an honorary degree, Richardson will deliver the commencement address. Elliot L. Richardson Elliot L. Richardson, a recent speaker at WSC, has distinguished himself on all levels of government. On the state level, he served as Attorney-General and Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts. Among his many national positions were Secretary of HEW, Secretary of Defense, , Secretary of Commerce and Attorney General of the United States. It was during his time as Attorney General that Richardson received his greatest attention. He chose to resign as a matter of conscience rather than fire Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox. Wilda Hatch Wilda Gene Glasmann Hatch has successfully combined a career as a newspaper executive with a personal interest in the Utah environment. The Ogden native is president of the Standard Corporation, a media conglomerate that controls the Ogden Standard-Examiner and KUTV, Channel 2 as well as several other newspapers, television and radio stations. Hatch has served in many environmental causes such as lobbying to set aside land in Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Monument. She is currently serving as treasurer on the board of the Utah Environment Center. George S. Eccles George Stoddard Eccles serves as chairman and chief executive officer of the First Security Corporation, a financial concern he helped found in 1928. Eccles became involved in international finance after World War II when he served as a consultant to the Marshall Plan reconstruction of Europe. He later served as chairman of the 11th International Monetary Conference in Vienna. Eccles has served as president and director of the Ogden Livestock Show and is a member of the Utah Symphony Board. I ? '.If 1 I I if II ' i; " f 1 I i 4 ' 1 I 1 y ' " - j ' ' I ' Jr : I JH 1 V;V !

Children who are three or four years old before Oct. 31 are eligible. Applications will be open until March 31. The Children's School offers an early childhood education program in which development is fostered through active, self-initiated involvement with the social and physical environment, Bird said. Approximately 30 children will be selected for the school by means of a lottery. All applications will be entered in the random drawing. Parents of those children selected must register for a two credit hour class entitled "Learning With Your Child." The course is a varied and flexible program which allows parents and schools to interact cooperatively in meeting mutual goals for children's education. Applications are available at the Children's School in the Education Building, room 107, daily from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Additional information may be obtained by calling Bird or Jane Steward at 626-6277 during the above hours. ASWSC Posts Election Elections for 1981-82 student body officers are going to be held the first two weeks of April, according to ASWSC public relations vice-president Faye Hardy. Election petitions to get your name on the ballot are available in the Student Activity Center of the Union Building. The positions open are for ASWSC President and six Vice-Presidential slots: Executive VP; Academic VP; Activities VP; Cultural VP; Public Relations VP; and Student Services VP. Elections are also being held for the Academic Senate where seven offices are open, one for each school in the college.Primary elections are scheduled for April 8&9 and final elections are April 15&16. $49,000 Stock Donation Given by Call Weber State has once again been made the beneficiary of an valuable donation. Mr. and Mrs. O. Jay Call of Brigham City have donated stock valued at $49,500, according to Dean W. Hurst, vice-president for college development. The stock is in the Flying J Oil company, of which Call is the president. Arrangements for the gift were made last December. This is the second gift given to the school by the Calls and Flying J. In November of 1979, real estate with a value of more than $40,000 was donated. Appreciation for the gift was expressed by college president Rodney Brady, saying it "will be used to greatly strengthen the new Presidential Distinguished Professor program at WSC." It can in this way be used to build leadership in the faculty from which the students will in turn benefit from improvements in instructional quality, said Brady. Proceeds from the sale of the stock will initially be applied to the Distinguished Professor program which was launched last year, according to Hurst. It may also be used in other directions as indicated by the wishes of the donors. The school will now be able to increase the number of Distinguished Professor awards which will be presented each year. Two awards were given out last year, to Dr. Daniel T. Gallego of the Sociology Department and to Dr. Spencer L. Seager, professor and chairman of the Chemistry Department. The program now provides that each person chosen as a Distinguished Professor gets $2,000 and his department $1,000. Choices are made through the use of a screening committee which makes preliminary selections. Final choice is in the hands of president Brady. The Flying J corporation has grown from a modest start of two service stations in Brigham City to a m-ulti-million dollar corporation operating in seven states.

|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Things You Need to Know About Good Tequila
Become an instant expert by browsing these quintessential (and tasty) examples of the eight ambassadors of tequila.
Clifford Mueller/istockBack Next
A few weeks ago, we took an hour and a half out of a busy Wednesday to sit at a table covered with little stemmed glasses of tequila. Our entirely altruistic purpose: to identify perfect examples of each of the eight types of quality that is, 100 percent agave tequila. It comes in four official aging categories, which you'll find on the label: blanco, reposado, añejo, and the relatively new extra añejo.
Cristian Lazzari/istockBack Next
And two unofficial styles: highland and lowland (which you won't find on the label). The first, made from agaves grown in the volcanic uplands in the part of Mexico the stuff hails from, tends to be brighter, more acidic, with notes of olive brine and green pepper. The second, from the plateau around Guadalajara, is generally fruitier, with a whiff of tropical funk. Here, then, are eight benchmark tequilas. What? There are ten? Okay, so we had a hard time narrowing them down.
This can rest in any sort of container up to 60 days before bottling.
Highland Blanco
El Tesoro Platinum: Sharp and lively and intense; $38.
Blanco Lowland
Arette Blanco Suave: Fruity and floral; $50.
Aged 60 days to a year. (This is our favorite category: The oak-aging mellows them without killing the agave, as often happens with añejos.)
Highland Reposado No. 1
Siete Leguas: Chalky and bright nice; $42.
Highland Reposado No. 2
Gran Centenario: Highland spice meets lowland funk; $53.
Lowland Reposado No. 1
Partida: Smooth and utterly elegant; $58.
Lowland Reposado No. 2
Curevo Tradicional: Figs and chocolate great value; $25. Aged one to three years in oak barrels (usually old bourbon ones).
Aged on to three years in oak barrels (usually old bourbon ones).
Highland Añejo
Chinaco: Knife-edged balance between lovely oaky richness and wild agave funk; $60.
Lowland Añejo
Herradura: Mellow but not without a little bite; $50.
Extra Añejo
Aged more than three years in oak barrels (sometimes with very old tequila blended in).
Highland Extra Añejo
Gran Centenario Leyenda: Like incense really good incense; $250.
Lowland Extra Añejo
Cabo Uno: Layers of vanilla and upfront spice easing into a mellow finish; $250.

RESERVE, N.M. (AP) - Deputies in western New Mexico say the body of a man has been found amid debris from flooding that brought widespread damage to much of the state. Catron Country Sheriff's Office said a hiker found the man Saturday in a sand bar off of the San Francisco River near Alma in the Gila National Forest. It appears he died in the flood. Under Sheriff Ian Fletcher says it was not known if the body was that of 83-year-old Howard Bassett, the Arizona man reported missing last week after he was evacuated from the Silver Creek Inn in Mogollon and did not return to collect his belongings. The sand bar where the body was found had debris from the flood. The body has been sent to the Officer of Medical Investigators for identification.

Many people in this world are more famous than me. I guess that means they're better people than me, right? And better than you, right?
I probably don't even need to example some people more famous than me, famous for their positive achievements. Brad Pitt; Bill Gates; Peyton Manning; and so on. If they're more famous than me for good things they've done, that means they're better than me, right? And also better than you, right?

unfortunately, our society created the illusion that fame make you a super man. you do have more power by being famous and more money, but that does not make a better person. actually, quite the opposite may happen when people are overwhelmed by fame and its disadvantages

Ancient Egypt sticker book
Members' price *
Most children study Ancient Egypt at school and are fascinated by Egyptian mummies, pharaohs and hieroglyphs. This new book combines a close look at some wonderful Egyptian objects with the ever-popular activity of stickers. The book features six galleries which children will enjoy filling with stickers of real Egyptian objects. Each gallery has a theme, such as Gods and Goddesses, or Tombs and Mummies, and includes spaces to be filled with stickers. Each space has a descriptive label so that children can identify and place the relevant object stickers in the display. While they have fun with the stickers, they are learning about the objects and the culture from which they come. The final gallery is an empty exhibition space which the children can furnish with their own choice of objects to create a completely personal Egyptian exhibition. The stickers are peelable, so if they are lifted up with care, the display can be re-created again and again

JONESBORO, Ga. (AP) - Police in suburban Atlanta say a girl who told authorities she was shot while selling candy door-to-door was accidentally shot by her older brother.
Henry County Police Maj. Jason Bolton tells the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/12EsTq9) the girl was shot in her abdomen by her 18-year-old brother Monday afternoon while he was playing with a gun. Police say the shooting took place inside the teens' house in Henry County, not on the street - which the girl initially told investigators.
The unidentified victim said her brother was with her at the time of the shooting, and police took the teen in for questioning shortly after the incident.
Bolton says the victim and her brother could both face charges.

Essential Info
Ships and Science
"Naval architecture was born in the mountains of Peru, in the mind of a French astronomer named Pierre Bouguer who never built a ship in his life." So writes Larrie Ferreiro at the beginning of this pioneering work on the science of naval architecture. Bouguer's monumental book Traité du navire (Treatise of the Ship) founded a discipline that defined not the rules for building a ship but the theories and tools to predict a ship's characteristics and performance before it was built. In Ships and Science, Ferreiro argues that the birth of naval architecture formed an integral part of the Scientific Revolution. Using Bouguer's work as a cornerstone, Ferreiro traces the intriguing and often unexpected development of this new discipline and describes its practical application to ship design in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Drawing on previously untapped primary-source and archival information, he places the development of naval architecture in the contexts of science, navy, and society, across the major shipbuilding nations of Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, and Italy.
Ferreiro describes the formulation of the three major elements of ship theory (the science of explaining the physical behavior of a ship): maneuvering and sail theory, ship resistance and hydrodynamics, and stability theory. He considers the era's influential books on naval architecture and describes the professionalization of ship constructors that is the true legacy of this period. Finally, looking from the viewpoints of both the constructor and the naval administrator, he explains why the development of ship theory was encouraged, financed, and used in naval shipbuilding. A generous selection of rarely seen archival images accompanies the text.
About the Author
Larrie D. Ferreiro is a naval architect and historian. He trained and worked as a naval architect in the U.S., British, and French navies and the U.S. Coast Guard, and has served as technical expert for the International Maritime Organization. He has a Ph.D. in the History of Science and Technology from Imperial College, London.
"Ships and Science is a meticulously researched, scholarly book...Any maritime historian or maritime architecture scholar should benefit from reading this erudite, thought-provoking book." — Louis Arthur Norton, The Northern Mariner
"Highly recommended."—Choice
"This is a superb volume, and is likely to be regarded in coming years as the starting point of the now fast growing study of the foundations of applied science and engineering." — Fred M. Walker, Mariner's Mirror
"This volume should be required reading for all students of naval architecture."—Marine Technology
"This volume should be required reading for all students of naval architecture". Marine Technology
"Naval architect and historian Larrie Ferreiro set out to understand the history of ship design in the West. He found the first half of the story encapsulated in the remarkable achievement of the French mathematician and astronomer Pierre Bouguer. Ferreiro uses Bouguer's seminal study, Trait
"Naval architecture has been a rarity among the sciences, having no written history worthy of the nameuntil now. In this book, Larrie Ferreiro has produced a work worthy of the discipline he has practiced and studied with equal ability. For the first time the many and varied theoretical and practical traditions of European ship design have been analyzed as part of the scientific and intellectual world in which they developed. The result is a work of the highest importance, linking science, ships, and sea power."
Andrew Lambert, Laughton Professor of Naval History, King's College London
"The history of naval architecture is a fascinating adventure. Ferreiro's book takes the reader on a journey through time, exploring how the science and engineering developed. A myriad of topics are included such as the important prerequisite of stability. It is a marvelous voyage of discovery, written in a very readable manner which will appeal to all, from the curious to those of us actively practicing the profession."
Stephen M. Payne OBE, Vice President and Chief Naval Architect, Carnival Corporate Shipbuilding, designer of the Queen Mary 2

Actress Valerie Bertinelli made an appearance in the valley Friday at Changing Hands Book store in Tempe for the release of her new book.
Bertinelli, a big fan of the kitchen, offers up a collection of recipes from her Italian heritage as well as provides an intimate look into her kitchen in her new release "One Dish at a Time."
People across the valley showed up to hear the actress speak about her new book and her past struggles with over-eating.
"It's eating healthy, its eating respectfully, its eating knowing that food is to nourish your body and not to use food as a crutch, or use food as something that would suppress a feeling that I don't want to feel any longer," says Bertinelli.
Bertinelli hopes to help others who battle with poor eating habits to enjoy the pleasures of the table once again.

This Wednesday was Disability Awareness Day (Celebrate Ability) on Luther campus and events were put on by the Student Senate. I feel very fortunate that I was able to be a part of it this year.
Student Senate had tables in the Union for most of the day where people could play a trivia game that included prizes, and sign a pledge to stop the use of the R-word. For the trivia game you got to spin the wheel to see what prize you were playing for, and then answered a trivia question. It was all related to awareness, and a lot of people throughout the day stopped by to give it a try. (I played and won a coffee travel mug!)
Later, that evening they hosted an event with speakers in Valders. It was a very moving experience.
The first speaker was a girl whose brother has a mental delay. She spoke about the many accomplishments of her brother and his hard work to end the use of the R-word. It was an extremely moving speech that really made you want to do what you could to join in the action for the end of that derogatory word.
The second speaker was a High School student from Decorah, who has cerebral palsy. She was able communicate via a computer that she controlled with her eyes. I wasn't even aware that such a device existed, but I'm so glad that it does! If it didn't then we would be oblivious to all of the amazing thoughts and aspirations of this girl! She told her story, which was one of great accomplishments. In the face of everyone who told her that something wasn't possible, she had never given up and always put in the hard work to prove them wrong. She is even involved in speech and has won all kinds of awards for her speeches. Her story was incredibly moving and showed that with a strong, supportive family, and a fierce drive, people can accomplish great things! I couldn't imagine being in her position, and I think that it takes a very special person to make such a huge difference in the face of such hurdles. I don't know if I could ever do that.
The third speaker was Chris Norton, the football player who was injured a few years ago and lost everything from the waist down for a while. As all of us at Luther are proud to claim, he's now gained so much back! His story was one of never giving up hope and putting everything you have in to succeed in despite of obstacles. He told a story of a doctor who gave up on him, and how he proved to that doctor a few weeks later that his recovery was not over when he wiggled his big toe and from there has progressed to physical therapy to work on walking again. After telling his story, he left us with a great message of hope. He said that ability is what you do in the face of obstacles. It was such a great message to end the night with and sent everyone home with something to think about.
I enjoyed partaking in the celebration of ability on Luther campus! It was a very heart-touching experience!
Cheers ladies and gents :)

Categories: Arts, Attractions
NeocryptoFunk, an exhibit of new sculptures, created by Dewane Hughes opened in the Melvin Gallery at Florida Southern College on January 20 at 7pm with a well-attended reception that included the artist and his wife.

Re: Michigan Tax Proposal
As you may have heard, the head of the Michigan Education Association (MEA) has asked the legislature and Governor Jennifer Granholm (D) to tax advertising to help pay for education programs.
At this point, there appears to be little support for the idea within the legislature, and Governor Granholm has said that she is not in favor of any new taxes. I have been working with representatives of both the Michigan Advertising Industry Alliance (MAIA) and the Michigan Association of Broadcasters. The MAIA retains the respected Lansing lobbying firm of Karoub and Associates. Both groups have been in touch with key legislators about the MEA proposal, and both counsel the advertising industry to take a low profile approach to the issue.
>This is not the time for the industry to begin a high profile letter writing or lobbying campaign targeted at lawmakers. However, if you already have a relationship with a Michigan legislator, it would be appropriate and useful to place a call to him or her and explain the harm that a tax on advertising would cause.
We will continue to monitor this issue very closely and make the appropriate contacts with lawmakers. We will keep you updated should the situation change. Do not hesitate to contact me at (202) 898-0089 or email@example.com if you have any comments or questions.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
Cup runneth over for papers with hockey, Red Wings fans
Clinton hasn't bowed out yet, and Obama and McCain haven't picked vice presidential candidates, so let's skip politics for another kind of competition: Sports.
The Red Wings won the Stanley Cup, mega news for Detroit. "Sweet Stanley!" proclaimed The Detroit News. "Red Reign," said the Detroit Free Press, which has produced Stanley Cup fronts during the finals. In Port Huron, an hour from the Motor City, the Times Herald said: "Wings skate home with Stanley Cup." Across the border in Ohio, The Blade of Akron covered the win with a stand-alone photo. Across the border in Canada, the Toronto Sun pictured Nicklas Lidstrom, the first European to captain a Stanley Cup-winning team, and said: "How Swede it is!"
For the losing Penguins, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette cried, "Cup unfulfilled" and added, "Penguins' dream season ends in 3-2 loss to Detroit." The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review published an eye-catching photo and said: "Just Shy of a Miracle."
"The Legendary Rivalry Resumes," The Boston Globe announced in a centerpiece about the Celtics-Lakers matchup in the NBA championship, which begins tonight. The Los Angeles Times, which published an "NBA Finals" special section, used its front page to examine ticket prices: "Lakers golden as money draw." The Providence (R.I.) Journal stripped a profile of Laker Kobe Bryant across the top of its front page. The Las Vegas Review-Journal noted, "Harrah's to reject NBA bets" as "Casino chief owns part of Boston Celtics."
Looking ahead, The Miami Herald previewed Saturday's Belmont Stakes and a possible Big Brown win: "Struggling racetracks root for a rare Triple Crown." Newsday on Long Island, home to Belmont Park, produced a 12-page pullout guide to the race.
"Chicago in final four," the suburban Daily Herald said after it was announced that the Windy City joined Tokyo, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro as finalists to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. The news made the front page across Illinois, including on the Rockford Register Star, which profiled each of the cities. Jornal Do Commercio in Rio de Janeiro and El Mundo in Madrid covered their cities' bids.
Still need your daily political fix? Try the Los Angeles Times ("Clinton set to end run, back Obama"); The Arizona Republic in Phoenix ("Clinton remains a key factor/Both sides to court her female bloc"); the Chicago Tribune ("History shows the best bets rarely make the cut as final running mates"); the St. Petersburg Times ("Crist could be vice president, McCain says"); the Orlando Sentinel ("What would it take for Obama to carry Florida?"); and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ("Black Atlantans relish Obama win").
Kate Kennedy is front pages editor at the Newseum.

Kristen: Eliot Spitzer's Call Girlby Free Britney at . Comments
As we reported earlier, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer was caught on a federal wiretap arranging to meet at a Washington hotel room on February 13 with a prostitute named Kristen from the Emperors Club VIP.
His political future is now in serious jeopardy.
An affidavit based on the wiretap of the prostitution ring told of a man identified as "Client 9" - Eliot Spitzer - paying $4,300 in cash, some of it credit for future trysts, some of it for sex with Kristen - a "petite, pretty, 5-feet-5, 105-pound brunette."
A defendant in the case, Temeka Rachelle Lewis, instructed Kristen to take a train from New York to D.C. for an encounter with Client No. 9 on February 13.
Kristen was told Eliot Spitzer would be "paying for everything - train tickets, cab fare from the hotel and back, mini bar or room service, travel time, and hotel."
A hooker named Kristen could bring down New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
Court papers show that an Emperors Club agent was later told by Kristen that her evening with Client 9 went well. The agent said she had been told the client "would ask you to do things that ... you might not think were safe."
According to the papers, Kristen replied: "I have a way of dealing with that ... I'd be, like, listen, dude, you really want the sex?"
Goodness. In other Kristen-Eliot Spitzer news, David Letterman announced his "Top 10 Eliot Spitzer Excuses" last night. The list is, as follows:
- I thought Bill Clinton legalized this years ago.
- Wanted to be known as the Charlie Sheen of politics.
- Whether it's a hooker or your wife, you're always paying for it... you married fellows know what I'm talking about.
- Uh, tainted beef?
- Haven't been myself since Roy Scheider died.
- It's part of my new MTV prank show "Spitz'd."
- Have you ever been to Albany?
- Just trying to help the economy.
- Hookers is fun.
- Oh, come on. Like you were never involved in a prostitution ring.
YOU ALWAYS BE REMEMBER AS "KRISTEN THE PROSTITUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR IF YOU FELL BETTER k THE SLOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I'm no lawyer, but if the wiretap info is an illegal search and seizure it can't be entered into evidence. Don't look at the sex, look at how they found the sex. What bank would risk the future business of a millionaire for a few thousand dollars? Were the established criteria of the Patriot Act violated to trigger the search? Did they obtain a court order with probable cause? In short, is it a crime for any of us to spend our own money? If the government breaks the law, Al Capone could get off. Spitzer quit and his wife told him to fight it. It doesn't pass the smell test.
So this was Ashley Alexandra Dupre as the prostitute on this video with Governor Eliot?
I was shocked when saw Ashley Alexandra Dupre as the prostitute on this video with Governor Eliot at
Spitzer is toast, he held himself up above the fray, the Sheriff of Wall Street, and got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Much the same could be aaid about John McCain's upcoming trip to Iraq to brunish his street creds at the tax payers exspense...he holds himself up as the Sherifff or Pork Barrel, then lets us pick up his campaign tab...at least Spitzer paid for his whores.

Reel World
Shootout on Central Avenue—This summer, Albuquerque's Flicks on 66 Film Festival will be entering its third incarnation. Currently known as DigiFest Southwest, the festival will be renamed the Duke City Shootout and will fall under the wing of independent filmmaker Christopher Coppola (nephew of Francis Ford Coppola and director of such low-budget efforts as Deadfall and G-Men from Hell). As in previous years, the festival committee will select seven short film scripts. The writers of the winning scripts will be flown to Albuquerque where they will be given a budget, cast, camera, lighting equipment, production crew, post-production facilities and even a professional mentor to help bring their pages to life. The only catch? Would-be filmmakers have only one week in which to complete their mini-masterpieces.
Film Review
Imaginary Heroes
Suburban tragedy tries too hard, but has its moments
In the wake of his "welcome to the big time" promotion writing the script for X2: X-Men United, twentysomething hipster scripter Dan Harris suddenly became Hollywood's go-to guy, penning screenplays for a string of upcoming blockbusters like Superman Returns, Ender's Game and Logan's Run. Last year, he made the ultimate shortcut to A-list status, writing and directing his own indie vanity project staffed with all the name actors money could buy.
Film Review
Animated feature dazzles audience with all the gew-gaws money can buy
At this point, everyone in the animation biz (whether working in the 2-D or 3-D realm) is toiling away in the towering shadow of Pixar. With an unbroken string of box office hits (Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles) and yet another Academy Award on the shelf (the company's second Best Animated Feature Oscar in a row for The Incredibles), Pixar is the unqualified king of cartoons.
Idiot Box
Why, God, Why?
The Return of Baby Bob
There are moments in life that make you question how the hell people can believe in a higher power--much less one that is kind and benevolent. We've got giant tsunamis in Asia, war in the Middle East, ethnic cleansing in Africa and a Walgreen's on every street corner. Is this the work of a beneficent creator? I think not.

Via Gamedayr:
Miami Marlins pitcher Alex Sanabia had just given up a home run to the Phillies' Domonic Brown. While he was obviously frustrated — what pitcher wouldn't be? — he reacted in a manner that is just not legal.
Sanabia hocked a big ole' loogie all over the baseball.
We can argue the balls and strikes and all that, and the fact that Sanabia only struck out two more batters all game indicates that he was not cheating throughout the contest.
But the Marlins did win, 5-1, and you can expect some Phillies fans to be upset by what you are seeing above.
Kinda gross! Now I know why it's illegal.
I'm not upset at the marlins pitcher.I'm disgusted with the PHILLIES, there's better high school or legion ball being played than what the poor excuse Phillies are giving the fan base, it's time for the fire sale to start.

LANSING (WKZO) -- The Michigan Department of Community Health says the drinking water in private wells along the Kalamazoo River where a massive oil spill happened in 2010 is safe.
MDCH officials say people who drink that water won't be harmed by oil-related chemicals. Iron and nickel were detected in a few wells, but not at dangerous levels.
Hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil spilled into the river nearly three years ago when an Enbridge Energy oil pipeline ruptured in Calhoun County.

Amarillo, Texas - Runways and gates are finally cleared at Rick Husband International Airport. But problems still continue for travelers who were affected by Monday's blizzard.
Travel has resumed at Amarillo's Rick Husband International Airport. Monday's blizzard caused the airport to shut down for two days.
"We're pretty much overwhelmed with the storm like everyone else. We ended up having to close both runways and that's the first time in a long long time that that's happened. Usually we could keep one open," Patrick Rhodes, Aviation Director says.
Nearly 20 inches of snow blanketed both runways of the airport causing all three airlines to cancel flights. Those canceled flights meant trouble for travelers and left Rick Husband Airport busier than usual.
"A lot of people in the terminal. Most of those are people who were booked on today's flights, but also people who did not get out and are trying to get on any seats available. So it's been a busy day," Rhodes says.
Ruth Moser was waiting to get on a flight back to Houston today. Her original flight was for Tuesday morning, but had to be rescheduled twice.
"I thought well that snow will come in and it will be over, and I'll just, you know how it is, they always clear it off for you to get out here Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. That was canceled and then the afternoon flight was canceled. But it's just another day."
But, it wasn't just another day for a Borger woman. She had been stuck in Denver, Colo. since Sunday.
"It's been pretty bad. I have been stranded in Denver since Sunday due to the weather storm or the snow storm over there. And then when I finally got a ticket to come into Amarillo, the blizzard hits here, so I get stranded in Denver until this morning when I was on stand by to come in," Mary Dominguez says.
Dominguez says she is happy to be back home and her view of flying has changed after this experience.

Ex-Girlfriend Jeans by Levis for boys
Girls are forever borrowing their boyfriends clothes, especially to sleep in. This is because, lets face it, baggy clothes are super comfy and perfect to lounge around in. I've never heard of a boy borrowing his girlfriend's clothes though, let alone her pair of jeans. Levi's plans on changing this trend with the "Ex-Girlfriend Jean." It is a super skinny pair of jeans that are a a way to "remember the girlfriend with great style." It doesn't some like any boys I know would enjoy this. They all seem to enjoy their relaxed fit denims.
These new tight jeans are great – I can't wait wearing them ! Skinny jeans are the best !

Rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel apparently isn't heeding the advice of Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and other former NFL Hall of Famers.
Manziel, who said last week that he wouldn't change his lifestyle for anyone, spent Monday night partying in Hollywood with pop star Justin Bieber, boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and Tyrese.
Pictures of Manziel with the two were posted online by Bieber. Police were called to the house twice -- once because of noise and also because of the crowd of fans gathered outside the home.
Last week, Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Joe Montana suggested that Manziel could be hurting his career with his public escapades. Haslam also wants the quarterback to tone it down, according to an ESPN report. Manziel defending himself, saying he's all business when it comes to football.
Manziel will report to training camp later this month with the rest of the Browns. He attended the NFL's rookie symposium last week and then visited the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
Manziel, a former Heisman Trophy winner, is entering his first season with the Browns after he was picked in the first round of the NFL Draft in May out of Texas A&M.

"We loved our postcards!!! I expected the card to be the size of a normal postcard, so I didn't check dimensions. It was a little smaller, but the quality made up for it. I was so happy with the thick paper and vibrant colors (especially on our photo). We used one of our engagement pictures and ordered the purple text. It looks great! Very personal and unique. We have received so many compliments and I couldn't be more pleased!"

The apartments are nice and everything is maintained well.

Thank you for being a conscientious resident!

New management did not have a customer service focus. The day I moved in there was no one in the office to gi Read Moreve me my keys. I was lucky to find someone who worked there and lived on property. When I moved in the apartment was filthy and smelled bad, and when I moved out they overcharged me to clean the apartment. (Which I had already cleaned.) They rented to many people who would live 6 ppl to a unit and were loud and messy.

Manager Response
Thank you for sharing your concerns. I do apologize that it was a frustrating experience for you. We strive to ensure to provide excellent customer service. If the office was closeed during business hours they may have been at lunch or on tour. We do have guidelines wefollow to prevent 6 people from occupying any one unit. However, there are some that do not follow the rules and we have to resolve the issue.

Manager Response
Thank you for sharing your comments. Per our lease we do ask that you notify us if someone is staying with you more than 7 consecutive days in a month. However, had you let us know that he was going to be visiting for 2 weeks we would not have had an issue. If you have any further concerns please feel free to contact me, as I am always available to my residents.

|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2012)
|Look up mainstream in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Mainstream is the common current thought of the majority.[1] It includes all popular culture and media culture, typically disseminated by mass media. The opposite of the mainstream are subcultures, countercultures and cult followings. It is often used as a pejorative term by subcultures who view ostensibly mainstream culture as not only exclusive but artistically and aesthetically inferior.[attribution needed] In the United States, mainline churches are sometimes referred to synonymously as "mainstream."[2][3] Also known as "straight" and "straights" for individuals.[4]
In film[edit]
Mainstream films are films that are distributed to movie theaters which give these films wide releases.[citation needed] However, the definition of a mainstream film can vary by country. For example, a mainstream film from China wouldn't be considered a mainstream film in India. But from a global perspective, mainstream films could be defined as Hollywood films, because it is these films which make up the majority of the most widely distributed films in the world. This makes Hollywood films the worldwide mainstream.
In the media[edit]
Mainstream media, or mass media, is generally applied to print publications, such as newspapers and magazines that contain the highest readership among the public, along with radio formats and television stations that contain the highest viewing and listener audience, respectively. This is in contrast to various independent media, such as alternative media newspapers, specialized magazines in various organizations and corporations, and various electronic sources such as podcasts and blogs (Though certain blogs are more mainstream than others given their association with a mainstream source.[5]
In music[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (June 2014)
Mainstream music denotes music that is familiar to the masses, as for example pop music, middle of the road music, pop rap or pop rock.
Opposing mainstream music is the music of subcultures. This exists in virtually all genres of music and is found commonly in punk rock, indie rock, alternative/underground hip hop, anti-folk and heavy metal, among others. In the 1960s this music was exemplified by the music of the hippie counterculture.
In science[edit]
Mainstream science is scientific inquiry in an established field of study that does not depart significantly from orthodox theories. In the philosophy of science, mainstream science is an area of scientific endeavor that has left the process of becoming established. New areas of scientific endeavor still in the process of becoming established are generally labelled protoscience or fringe science. A definition of mainstream in terms of protoscience and fringe science[6] can be understood from the following table:[7]
|Systematized as scientific definition
|Treated with scientific method
|Attempts to be scientific or resembles science
|Fringe science
|(Mainstream) science
By its standard practices of applying good scientific methods, mainstream is distinguished from pseudoscience as a demarcation problem and specific types of inquiry are debunked as junk science, cargo cult science, scientific misconduct, etc.
In sociology[edit]
Mainstream pressure, through actions such as peer pressure, can force individuals to conform to the mores of the group (e.g., an obedience to the mandates of the peer group). Some, such as those of modern Hipster culture, have stated that they see mainstream as the antithesis of individuality.
Mainstreaming is the practice of bringing disabled students into the "mainstream" of student life. Mainstreamed students attend some classes with typical students and other classes with students that have similar disabilities. Mainstreaming represents a midpoint between full inclusion (all students spend all day in the regular classroom) and dedicated, self-contained classrooms or special schools (disabled students are isolated with other disabled students).
Gender mainstreaming[edit]
The difference of male and female, in the sense that human beings are distinguished as non-conformant.
The term mainstream refers to the principle current of a river or stream. Its figurative use by Thomas Carlyle to indicating the prevailing taste or mode is attested at least as early as 1831.[8]

1084s Monitor fried
Hey there, I just made a new account here to ask if there's anything much I can do about a dead monitor. I haven't used my 1084s for years (it was starting to go on me and I had to whack it to make it work somewhat regularly so I gave up using it for my last-gen consoles and shortly later switched to a new TV when I got a 360). When I plugged it in recently to give my Gamecube a try again but it wouldn't give any picture at all, made a high pitch whine, some crackling inside, and started smelling like something was burning, so that was quickly unplugged and moved outside.
Anyway, it was a very good monitor when I was using it. I still have a normal 1084 I borrowed from my cousin and a 1902a from my old Commodore 128, but neither has stereo RCA inputs and neither has the connector that natively plugs in from the Amiga (not sure what it's called - the connector has 9 pin slots in a 4+5 pattern with screws on the sides, but only 5 are actually pins sticking out of the cable that comes from the Amiga). When connecting something to the 1084 with RCA cables it doesn't display colours properly either, it's all washed out in a way the 1084s never did. I don't understand why the non-stereo version doesn't have that connector (it's got a few other round RGB connector things but I don't have cables for that). It's clearly inferior to what I got used to on my 1084s and I don't know if I'll ever be able to use my Amiga again except through RCA cables, which I imagine isn't very good for the higher video modes.
Can something from a monitor be salvaged after this point, when it's already started burning inside? I have no experience with opening up a monitor and didn't want to risk a shock or anything by touching the wrong thing. Ideally I'd just move the ports and stereo functioning from the dead monitor to the working one, but that's probably a pipe dream. I'm not sure what my options are here.

Not sure about this but I think it's probably the flyback transformer.

Re: 1084s Monitor fried
Sounds like the Line Output Transformer (or flyback transformer as some call it) in your monitor either has some dry joints (especially if giving it whack got it working) or it may be fried altogether...
Either way unless you know what your doing and are handy with a soldering iron, I would advise not touching it as there are LETHAL voltages involved here... best advice is find someone local who can look at it for you...
Commodore made different versions of the 1084 for sale in different parts of the world. Some had SCART sockets (Mainly UK) some had 9 PIN D Sub connectors (like the kind you have) and others had round DIN connectors just depended on which part of the world the target was for each monitor...
They all have RGB inputs and the pinouts for your 9 PIN D Sub one are as shown in this link...
If you can't make your own cable for it then you may find one on eBay or perhaps someone here may have one...
You monitor sounds like it can be repaired (difficult to tell online though) but as for converting it to stereo using the parts from each other then the answer is no I'm afraid...

AleksBlumentals's curator insight, July 8, 4:53 AM
This schematic history of human civilization reflects a growing complexity of the collective behavior of human organizations. Some will see in the graphics what intuitively seems correct, namely that areas of grey an lateral connections matter increasingly more:
Without new means to connect these groups the isolation and silos make it impossible to overcome local optimums:
"As the importance of lateral interactions increases, the boundaries between subsystems become porous. The increasing collective complexity also is manifest in the increasing specialization and diversity of professions."
luiy's curator insight, May 27, 11:09 AM
1. Overview:
Bitcoin (bitcoin.org) is a digital, cryptographically secure currency. Transactions between public-key "addresses" maintained in a distributed, verified public ledger form a transaction network that can be studied by network scientists. This code processes binary-format Bitcoin .dat files generated by the Bitcoin client (bitcoin.org, tested on v0.5.3.1 or lower) into human-readable flat-file formats, retaining all available information. Furthermore, we provide a data model to facilitate storage and querying in a relational database.
2. Bitcoin transaction overview:
The bitcoin digital currency allows users to securely prove ownership of a portion of coins that cascade through the network as a chain of re-assigned ownershiptransactions over time.A transaction on the bitcoin network is a many-to-many function, executed by a user who has ownership to (potentially many) outputs of previous transactions; the user takes this owned value and writes ownership to (potentially many) output nodes (users, represented by addresses in the network).
