This film is one of the finest films noirs in the classical canon and one of the greatest inaugural films ever directed. Polonsky's uses of voice-over and visual imagery (Edward Hopper's paintings were an inspiration) harmonize to create an urban poetry of unforgettable power.

The film's tough & gritty..Polynsky & the cast(especially Garfield & Gomez)pull no punches here.

Saw it on TCM. I knew about Polonsky but I was determined to watch it as a political virgin, as a John Garfield fan. I really like it a lot. Garfield and Gomez were great and the completely vanished Beatrice Pearson was so good and so perfect it's hard to believe. After watching it, I put on my old "Social Significance" hat and examined it from that POV. Polonsky was not only a Hollywood Ten, he has been described by old friends as a Stalinist. There is no question that this movie was intended as comnmunist propaganda, the criminals are Wall Street their victims workers. I doubt that anyone under 60 will "get" that and just enjoy the movie. BTW some of the dialogue is fantastic.

Obama Says He's Got One More Campaign In Him: The Fight For ObamacareBy Maeve Reston and Christi Parsons, Los Angeles Times
President Obama put a new shine on his Obamacare pitch Monday night and asked his most loyal supporters to help him sell it to the American people.
Obama urged Organizing for Action volunteers to help him spread "far and wide" the good news of the Affordable Care Act, which he said had always been about "making the insurance market better for everybody."Read more

How Obamacare Glitches Could Put Hispanics in PlayBy Beth Reinhard, National Journal
After two election cycles of Democrats successfully marketing Obamacare to Hispanic voters, the health care law's rocky start could turn into a bargaining chip for Republicans.
Hispanic adults have supported President Obama's Affordable Care Act at a rate twice that of whites. More than 10 million Hispanics—roughly one-fourth of the total uninsured population—stand to benefit from the law. An outsize proportion of the eligible Hispanics are the healthy millennials who could make or break universal health care.Read more
Obama to Campaign to Ensure Health Law's SuccessBy Jackie Calmes, The New York Times

Antidiscrimination Bill Will Pass, but Without the 'Bandwagon' EffectBy Fawn Johnson and Elahe Izadi, National Journal
While the Employment Non-Discrimination Act is now headed toward final passage in the Senate, don't expect a surge of support from lawmakers. It's a safe bet that in the end the measure will be supported by less than 70 senators.
The bill, which bans workplace discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation, has not created the "bandwagon effect" sometimes seen in major legislation, in which a slew of supporters piles on once a bill is certain to pass.Read more

Why Can't Obama Run the Government as Smoothly as His Campaign?By Christi Parsons and Kathleen Hennessey, Los Angeles Times

A Plague on Both Your PartiesBy Doyle McManus, Los Angeles Times
Only two weeks ago, President Obama looked like a man on the rise. He and his party had successfully stared down Republicans in a 16-day government shutdown. Voters were angrier at the GOP than any time since, well, the last government shutdown. A confident-looking Obama declared it was time to get the country back on track with quick action on a budget agreement, immigration reform and a bipartisan farm bill.Read more

Obamacare's Newest IllsBy John Dickerson, Slate Magazine
Obamacare is nerve-wracking for the very people it was intended to help. During the healthcare.gov saga, I've been in regular touch with Alice, a Pennsylvania woman trying to sign up for health insurance through the federal exchanges. She is a member of that 5 percent of the population who buys insurance in the individual market. When the Affordable Care Act took effect on Oct. 1, she was anxious to register for new health care coverage, because it is almost certain to be a better deal than her current plan. Instead, like millions of Americans, she has been confused and thwarted over the last month as the government's website failed her.Read more
Global Internet Infrastructure Makes It Hard To Reel In SpyingBy Tom Gjelten and Audie Cornish, NPR
The NSA has apparently figured out a secret way to tap into the links between Internet users and Google and Yahoo data centers overseas. The companies say they didn't give the NSA permission, and they are angry. Because the data centers are located outside the United States, the NSA may not be bound by the same laws that govern domestic surveillance. The case shows how difficult it is for policymakers and legislators to oversee NSA surveillance activities.Listen here

The Cheneys Will Stop at Nothing to Get Liz Elected to the SenateBy Molly Ball, The Atlantic
When Liz Cheney, the daughter of the former vice president, decided to run against a sitting Republican senator in Wyoming, her target, Mike Enzi, pleaded, "I thought we were friends."
But if Enzi thought his long relationship with the Cheneys might ensure a gentle, collegial contest of ideas, it's increasingly clear he thought wrong. The Cheney clan has undertaken a scorched-earth campaign against the well-liked, low-key conservative and his allies, demonstrating a seemingly limitless appetite for conflict—and leaving innocent bystanders as stunned casualties in their wake.Read more

A big happy family gathering just like the Waltons, or maybe Leave it to Beaver, or maybe the uh, Simpsons. Wait a minute- the Simpsons can be fun to watch, but do we really want to live like that???
Over the last few years, I've drastically reduced the amount of time I spend playing video games. Staying up all night playing XBox 360 just wasn't working out for me anymore. I decided to change my ways. I was doing so well, but then I got an iPod Touch and was introduced to my downfall: Angry Birds.

There's no time like the present to play those games you received for Christmas. I received FARKLE this year! Farkle was the highlight of our family game night. As we Farkled, we laughed. Even though my mom passed me by in the last round and won the game, it was great fun to play! Farkle is a family game -- a fun game -- a math game! Diana S.Blue Springs South
A family game night is a fun way to enjoy an evening at home. MCPL has books about many types of games. There are books on card games, board games, dominoes, darts, and many other fun games.

Tuesday's legal proceedings in the courtroom of Judge Redfield T. Baum have the potential to effectively end Jim Balsillie's chances of owning the Phoenix Coyotes on the spot. Or the judge might approve a sale of the team from Jerry Moyes to Balsillie, and as such set a legal precedent involving the sales and potential relocations of professional North American sports teams.
Or, there might be nothing in the way of a dramatic announcement if Baum chooses to rule later in the week, or perhaps at some other future date.
In recent days, the judge has been examining a number of documents from the NHL, Balsillie, Moyes, and the other major pro leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA). Baum is debating the legalities of Moyes being able to sell the Coyotes, who are operating under bankruptcy protection, to Balsillie for the $212.5 million that the co-CEO of Research in Motion has offered. As has been well documented, the Balsillie offer comes with the condition that he be allowed to move the franchise to Hamilton.
The critical question that Baum will address is whether the Coyotes are a portable asset and whether Moyes has the right to sell to Balsillie (knowing that he wants to relocate the team) and whether the court has the power or inclination to allow a bankruptcy court-ordered sale to supercede the rules and regulations of a professional sports league.
"It's going to be an interesting day, or perhaps week," said TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie. "Based on everything I have heard, it's clear that the bankruptcy court judge has the broad powers required to relocate the Phoenix Coyotes to Hamilton, but there is a real question as to whether he's prepared to use them in a precedent-setting case that could impact on the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball as well as the NHL."
Baum's primary mandate as a bankruptcy court judge is to protect the numerous creditors of the Coyotes. If he believes that Balsillie's offer represents the best opportunity for the creditors to recoup their investments, then he can rule in favour of the sale.
But NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has made court filings stating that there are four investor groups who have offered to purchase the team and keep them in Phoenix, including Toronto Argonauts owners Howard Sokolowski and David Cynamon. It's Bettman's wish that the team remain in Arizona, and furthermore, that the NHL's rules governing ownership and the potential movement of a franchise take precedent over any court decisions.
"If the judge rules in favor of the NHL, I don't think there's any question the intervention of the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball will have been the turning point," said McKenzie. "If the judge rules in favor of the relocation, the question then becomes, can the NHL tie it up in legal proceedings by either getting a stay or filing an appeal that would prevent the Coyotes from actually going to Hamilton for next season? Either way, I would be surprised if the Coyotes are playing in Copps Coliseum in October. But anything, I suppose, is still possible."

Alternative View - November 15
Culd-e-Sac Christianity
Sometimes I get the impression that when we ask God to bless us, we forget the full definition of a blessing. We forget that God doesn't want us to be culd-e-sac Christians where all of our blessings end with us. God wants us to be conduit Christians where all of our blessings extend through us to others.
For example, when God blessed Abraham in the Old Testament, we read that He said, "Indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice."
God said that He was not only going to bring His favor on Abraham but that His favor on Abraham would extend out to be a blessing on others as well. God never designs our blessings to stop with us, but our blessings should always extend to others.

Historic Llantrisant will resound to the fierce noise of clashing swords and armour once again with a special Medieval event this weekend (May 3rd – 4th 2014).
The Cardiff Castle Garrison will descend on the former Norman fortress town with archery, medieval combat displays, weapons and armour on show for the two-day event.
The medieval weekend based on the Castle Green to coincide with May Day which was also celebrated in medieval times as saints and feast days.
It will also mark the return of Llantrisant Castle's famous residents, the two goats housed for the summer months by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council to help reduce the overgrowth around the ancient monument.
The goats have their own purpose-built shelter in the original enclosure of the 13th century castle, and daily a volunteer ensures they have [lenty of water supplies, supplement feeding with protein pellets, rake out and refresh straw in the goats' shelter and ensure their over all health and wellbeing.
Visitors to the Castle Green this weekend will enjoy a fun-packed few days as Cardiff Castle Garrison make the event as authentic as possible and help residents and visitors learn about what life was like during those day times.
The Garrison are a well known living history combat society that perform regularly in Cardiff, Caldicot, Newport and Berkeley Castle. In 2015 they will travel to France to re-enact the battle of Agincourt.
They predominantly focus on the reign of Edward III and specially the years 1350-1370 when Llantrisant was a thriving hilltop community.
The aim of the society is to entertain, educate and inspire a desire to learn more about history.
The Medieval Weekend will include:
· A living history camp demonstrating medieval life.
· Combat, archery, crafts, blacksmithing and cooking demonstrations.
· Talks on weapons, armour, crafts, cooking and archery
· Combat and history talks showing the weaponry and armour that was used during our period and how it was used.
· An opportunity to have a go at archery or to sponge a fool who is locked in the stocks
· Visitors will also have the chance to examine the armour, weaponry and craft items close up.
The members of Cardiff Castle Garrison are available throughout the day during shows to talk to the public, demonstrate skills and answer any questions posed to them.
What makes Cardiff Castle Garrison interesting and different from other re-enactment societies is the proportion of members who can give professional insights into how things were and how things worked and why. The group contains a high number of teachers, scientists, historians and archaeologists.
The camps, archery range and combat demonstrations take place in roped arenas, and members are on hand to supervise at all times.
The Medieval Weekend takes place on May 3 and 4 from 10am to 4.30am. For further details www.cardiffcastlegarrison.org.uk

How Not To Cook An Egg: When Pinterest and the Internet Lead You Wrong
The internet told me that if I shook my uncooked egg before boiling that it would come out with a beautiful yellow color and creamy texture. No whites, no yolks, just a pale yellow. Sounds cool, right? I saw multiple people liking the idea, so I hopped on board and tried it with the hard-boiled eggs I like for lunch. Folks, some ideas we should not try at home. Want to know what happens when you shake an egg before cooking?
There are many beautiful things about the simplicity of a hard-boiled egg. I for one happen to love both the yolks and the whites, their perfect soft and supple texture when cooked properly and their ability to be a meal by themselves.
Now recently the internet told me, via Pinterest of course, that shaking your eggs before cooking would result in an egg of even texture and color. Curious like most would be, I tried it. I felt ridiculous standing in my kitchen shaking my eggs before placing them in the water, but I obliged and fully followed the directions. See those directions here:
→ Hard-Boiled Eggs at UustuusThe results? Disaster! The shells stuck to the flesh of the egg (which was still white), as if it had done away with that precious little membrane that aids in peeling. Once I got past that, the egg inside seemed relatively normal. The colors hadn't mixed, so I shrugged it off as a loss, sprinkled some salt on them and sat down to dinner. A dinner which I promptly spit back in my bowl, ashamed at this childish act and saddened that these eggs weren't edible. Not even a little.
The whites and the yolks had turned to hard rubber and the outside of the white was almost unchewable, like shoe leather. The soft egg taste had been replaced by something much stronger. Between the smell and the texture, folks, this is not an experiment we should ever try at home.
Have you ever had an internet food experience go horribly, horribly wrong? Share your food fails in the comments below. Surely I'm not alone in having a Pinterest fail?

I don't think that shaking the egg lead to your end results.
It sounds like you used old eggs and cooked them too long. Even if you didn't shake the eggs, your results would have been the same.
Eggs are designed to resist shock.
I have also had a pinterest fail. I saw crockpot chicken paella and thought why not. It can't be thatbad. If it's good it could save me tons of time and I love Spanish food. It was the worst meal I have ever made. It came out like mush, tasted nothing like paella and looked like someone ate it first. I was embarrassed to serve it for dinner to my husband. I was also mad that I wasted time and money. I will never make a recipe that doesn't have reviews again.
Yep, make ahead breakfast sandwiches. Totally inedible. Cooking times were totally off. Dense and chewy and tasty crappy. Never again.
This is why I no longer cook anything from recipes that don't come from sources I trust (The Kitchn being one of them!). Of course, I realize somebody has to vet new ideas that pop up on the web--thanks for being willing to be a guinea pig on our behalf! :)
Like msmla, I stick to recipes with comments sections (as long as the comments aren't "I'm so making this tonight!"). Epicurious and the Kitchn are both pretty reliable once you view the comments.
It sounds like she used fresh eggs. The layer of air between the membrane and the shell increases with age and is why it is easier to peel older eggs. Old eggs are preferred for hard boiling.
This is why I started an "Accomplished" Pinboard -- all my followers know that I can't recommend a recipe unless it is on that board (with notes included). All the rest are just ideas.
Poor pinterest, every once in a while a dud really does make the rounds!
I find Pinterest has entirely too many recipes that revolve around opening a packet of powdered Italian dressing.
LOL elizeh! I agree. I don't "pin" any food items until I've read the recipes and reviews. Too many times I've clicked and found that the link wasn't even to the original website or that the link has been blocked because of spam, etc.
Yes, you are right... I confuse myself with these things. I've been poaching eggs lately and have been wanting very fresh eggs.
I do the same thing! I have a Recipes to Try board and a Tried and True board. I also write comments to my recipes, including alterations, clarifications and recommendations.
LOL - sometimes, you have to think these things through logically, right? After all, an egg is specifically designed to protect a live BIRD from being damaged, even if it is rolled around or dropped (within reason.) Pinterest probably also believes that you can terminate a pregnancy by jumping up and down vigorously.
Lol! I have a Recipes to Try board as well...I love the idea of the Tried and True one!!!
The saying "You Can't Judge a Book by its Cover" comes to mind when picking and choosing recipes on Pinterest. I never pin any recipe or re-pin without looking at the recipe first. As for hard boiled eggs, I've used your recommendation of storing the uncooked eggs, tips down, the night before boiling them to center the yolks: http://www.thekitchn.com/tip-perfect-hardboiled-eggs-47197
Now I want to follow you on Pinterest because that is a great idea!
I've been told of an entire blog dedicated to awful Pinterest recipes.
My oldest son, Stuart, lived in Japan for a year where this type of egg is known. He wrote an Instructable about how to make one, with pictures. His method works well. Here is a link:
There have been variations of a "healthy breakfast cookie" recipe all over Pinterest. I decided to try one from from a reputable magazine that called for just five ingredients: Raw bananas, vanilla, applesauce, flax meal, and dried cherries - "no sugar needed!" Even as I was mixing them they seemed like they'd be bland, so I added some cinnamon and chopped walnuts, and baked them up. They were TERRIBLE - rubbery texture and zero flavor, plus they ended up turning black as they cooled (I'm guessing it had to do with the bananas). Into the trash they went, and I also deleted the pin from my board before anyone else saw it and made the same mistake. Yuck!
Or can of cream of something. Seems like Pinterest is sometimes like the junk food of the internet when it comes to recipes--lots of eye candy, but not necessarily great quality.
Now I want to read that blog!
I do the same when it comes to pinning, checking the recipe first--it's so easy to pin everything I see, but I try to be very picky about what I choose; quality over quantity. And if I'm pinning it, it's because I realistically think I would want to make it in the future. If the recipe doesn't check out, it'd just clutter up my boards.
I fell for the 'bake the eggs in the oven' Pinterest post. My house stunk of eggs for half a day and the eggs were rubbery and the outside was a unappealing brown once I peeled them. Don't do it. Ever.
I think the blog you guys are referring to might be this one:
http://pintester.com/ She tests all sort of pins, not just recipes, though.
I was burned by the cauliflower wings too! A turnip gratin was also a huge disappointment floating in a casserole dish of curdled dairy and bitter liquid.
The link in the article leads to an Estonian site. It explains that she achieved this type of egg by putting it in stoccking and spinning it, not shaking.
It is also mentioned that it took many, many failed attempts.
Wohoo for me being apparently the only Estonian speaker on this post so far...
I have made several complete failures in the kitchen. One of the first time cooking for friends, they came unexpected and I had cooked like three times before, so I went and grabbed frozen bolognese sauce from my mum's freezer. My mom said to thaw it in a pot with a bit of water, but I took a "bit" as almost a cup, I think. It came out as weird water with meat lumps in it...
A few weeks later I made my first lasagna in a tiny microwave/oven combi. I thought I'd put on the oven, but apparently it was the microwave PLUS oven that had been baking my lasagna. All dried out it was like chewing carton. My boyfriend was so nice to eat it all anyway and is still claiming he really likes it.
And then, a few days ago, I decided to try something new: endive soup with curry (witloof soep). The picture looked really tasty so even though I know I really don't like endive, I made it. It smelled SO NICE, but when I tasted it, there it was, that bitter endive aftertaste. Ate the rest of the soup, but threw away the leftovers. :(
I'm easy to find! I think my pinterest name is just "amineh" Let me know if you try any of the recipes, I love hearing about other people's stuff!
Yes! I made a batch of THE most horrible candy cane brownies from a recipe I got off of Pinterest. They looked so cute with the red and white stripes of the candy embedded in the chocolate. Well, the candy burned and turned the brownies into a big melted mess. Pan from hell to clean! Never again! I use my food pins for ideas only unless I know the source.
As long as you guys are crafting your own equipment, wouldn't it be easier to create a container to hard-boil the egg itself within?
For example, in the "Egg Scrambler" video, they had a clear container filled with an egg, so we viewers could see how the egg is scrambled within the shell.
Now, if that clear container could be used to cook the egg, and wouldn't stick to the cooked egg, it would be much easier to create a "yellow hard-boiled egg", or just to hard-boil an egg without even needing to peel the egg.
Just place your egg, either white and yolk, or scrambled, and whatever other ingredients you might want, in your egg-shaped cooker, hard-boil it, and then just pop it out.
Creating a non-stick container where you could just "pop it out" is probably the hardest thing to achieve there. But if it could remove the task of peeling the egg? Wonderful.
This microwave poacher does half the job -- I basically end up with a hard-boiled egg with a weird shape:
But it pops out easily.
haha, YES I've been burned by Pinterest. I have a board, Recipe Verdicts, where I re-pin recipes that I've made and give my two cents about them.
The absolute WORST was a whipped cream substitute made with boiled cashews. I don't know why I thought that was a good idea, but weird recipes attract me. It went into the compost and I whipped the pin over onto my Verdicts board with some pointed comments.
I'm glad to know the oven method doesn't work for hardcooked eggs (another commenter said). I had that pinned and I was intrigued.
FWIW the author says he does not taste the eggs, they just look cool...
I wish that was the case, but just to make sure I did boil a few eggs that were unshaken and they came out perfect as usual!
I've definitely had some pinterest fails -- usually of the crockpot variety. here was one that was supposed to be sesame chicken but tasted like the ketchup and soy sauce it was made with -- yuck! And don't even bother with the "cook X meals in one sitting" pins -- the recipes are all AWFUL (admitted even by the blogger whose post the pin links to).
But the worst was a "beauty" routine. It was supposed to create super smooth legs. Sugar, olive oil, and a dash of lemon juice. I tried it out. My legs started burning instantly. I was only able to stand the awfulness for half the listed time, and even after I washed it off with body wash and moisturized, my legs were itchy and rashy for DAYS. And of course, the bathtub was an olive oil disaster. My husband almost killed himself in the shower the next day.
On the flip side, I pinned the Kitchn's take on Jamie Oliver chicken cooked in milk recipe, and then repinned it with a guarantee because it sounds sketchy and I wanted my followers to know that it's real and awesome.
The best way to hard boil an egg can be found here: http://tiptomato.com/?p=166
Works perfectly every time.
I've had way more Pinterest recipe successes than failures, but I know what I like and how I like to cook so I don't heed everything in a recipe if it sounds dumb. The biggest failure is that awful breakfast cookie recipe with bananas. Yes, rubbery and not cookies at all.
Pinterest fails = Crock Pot Mac & Cheese; basically turned out to be scrambled eggs with noodles and water-y cheese sauce. It was disgusting.
On the other hand, I made a crock pot Pizza Pasta casserole that was amazing!!! Total comfort food but it truly tasted like pizza but in pasta form. Never would have thought of it without pinterest and now it's my go-to Snow-Day dinner.
Oh Allie's post made me laugh so hard. I'm glad I'm not the only one to fall for some of those pinterest recipes. I'll stand clear of the ones mentioned. Thanks.
Cashew creme is actually really good - I wonder if the recipe was just off. The only time it doesn't work out for me is when I'm too rushed and put in too much water, so it's not as fluffy.
Saw a "cauliflower steak" somewhere. Thought it sounded intriguing. Went straight from my plate into the garbage.
I don't understand why anyone would want to do this shake an egg and hard-boil it thing. It defeats the whole purpose of eating a hard-boiled egg! Other than just to see what happens...
Exactly. And swirling eggs around is an old old trick for making them well-centered. Not only the tip was wrong to start from, but the cooker used bad eggs and cooked too much ¬¬
Just tried this with one experimental egg and one control egg in the same pot. All other variables were controlled. The control egg was normal, easy to peel, and perfectly cooked. The shaken egg was the opposite of these things.
Don't just make assumptions, gather data!
This is a failed attempt of a Japanese delicacy known as the "Golden egg". If you are willing to put in the effort and prepare correctly it is delicious.
Do not shake
Place egg in the leg of a pair of pantyhose
Holding both ends twist egg around 25 times
Pull tight to allow egg to quickly unravel
Repeat 10 times
Egg is ready when held over a light the color is red (not yellow)
Boil 6 minutes
Place directly into an ice bath
Use non-peel method (roll egg with hand palm on hard surface)

very quick and easy; I actually tossed the arugula with some basil and balsamic. I omitted the bacon and topped the apples with toasted walnuts. I then drizzled balsamic reduction on top. It was great!

Need Ideas For Your NABJ 2013 Convention Workshop Proposal? Here's 13!
As the Oct. 17 deadline to submit workshop proposals and speakers for next year's Annual Convention and Career Fair in Orlando, I thought I'd share some workshops that could be in the mix.
Our tracks are:
The Fundamentals – No matter how technology changes, the basics of journalism remain the same. This track covers the fundamental skills every journalist needs to know. From the art of the live shot to the art of storytelling, these sessions will cover the nuts and bolts of how to be a better journalist.
On The Beat – In today's fast-paced newsroom, beat reporting moves fast. Journalists must cover everything from politics to energy to business. This track is designed to break down reporting beats. Whether you want to be a better photojournalist, move into sports, hone your business acumen or explore politics in this election year, these sessions will dig deep into specific beat reporting. NABJ Task Forces are strongly encouraged to submit proposals for this track.
Technology Tool Box – With tools including Storify, Rebel Mouse, Tumblr, API, Bundlr, Open Source, or HTML5, it's hard to stay on the cutting edge of technology. These sessions will highlight new and emerging technology that helps journalists perfect their craft.
Moving into Management – If you're looking to move up into the management ranks, this track is for you. Presenters will offer workshops that will help take your career to the next level.
Communication Station – The industry is changing and so are job titles. Communication is at the heart of what we do, but it's not always in a newsroom. This track is designed to educate and train members in communication fields. From academia to public relations to entrepreneurship, sessions will cover innovative and creative programming for those in communication and non-traditional journalism professions.
Deep Dive Learning Labs- Our day-long and half-day Deep Dive Sessions give members the chance to learn at a more relaxed pace. Past sessions have covered topics including entrepreneurship, mobile reporting, Final Cut Pro, career transformation and branding.
"I Feel Lucky" - Do you have a great proposal idea that doesn't fit into one of our standard tracks? If so, you can submit your proposal in this section. Please note that priority will be given to sessions that fit within our standard tracks; however, we are open to proposals that may go beyond that criteria. Make sure you have an innovative or interesting idea because proposals selected from this option will be very competitive.
Are you a subject matter expert interested in presenting? We are accepting applications for conference presenters. This option is for individuals who do not wish to propose a workshop session, but want to be considered as a possible panelist. The NABJ Program Committee will review each presenter submitted. Due to the anticipated volume of presenters, NABJ will only contact presenters that fit in line with our final programming.
So, based on those criteria, below are some suggestions for workshops in New Orleans. And remember — the deadline to submit is Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. ET Good luck!

|Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time once again for the game show at the top of all game shows, Fundamentally Confusing Criteria!
(Applause. Lights criss-crossing the stage. Swing music.)
|Our theme today is high-speed, digital data services. We have three contestants. And now, please welcome our Master of Confusion!
(Confetti and balloons fall from the ceiling. Whistles and cheers erupt from the studio audience as the MC walks onto the stage.)
|We've got lots of inquiries for you, today, folks, and maybe even some rulings, all on the program where billions of dollars in prizes are given out on every game.
(Shouts and applause from the audience.)
|You've been on this show a lot, Contestant #1. Tell us what you've been doing lately.
|Contestant #1:
|Not much. Squirreling away my money for a rainy day. Upgrading a few lines here and there, in case they'll be useful for sending high-speed data.
|We're interested in those high-speed data lines, Contestant #1, and we might be getting you to upgrade a lot more of them!
|Contestant #1:
|Gee, how'rya going to do that?
|How? Let's see!
(Spotlight on curtain. Drum roll.)
|We're going to give you relief from the law that says you have to offer these lines to competitors!
(Applause from audience. Upbeat music.)
|(Rapidly, in a low voice) Offer extended only in specified markets and geographic areas. Invalid where prohibited by law. U.S. Congress may change definitions and conditions at any time.
|Yes, just wait for a really long and wordy ruling where we show that the presence of competitors holds back competition! What do you think of that, Contestant #1?
|Contestant #1:
|(blubbering) Aw, this is great, I should have kept around some of those competent employees. Gee, folks, I love America, you--
|Now, Contestant #2. How do you like those big prizes we gave you last time?
|Contestant #2:
|They stink.
(Laughter and hoots from audience.)
|Hey, those were pure, unencumbered bands of spectrum we sold you!
|Contestant #2:
|Well, I can't do anything with them. I can't figure out what kinds of data services to offer, and nobody wants them anyway. I built my whole business model around impulse buying, and people don't do that in a recession.
|If you can't use the spectrum, we'll be happy to take it back. But the last time we tried, we got the pants sued off of us.
|Contestant #2:
|Oh, that's OK, we'll keep the prizes and go on playing. We figure we'll be in line to win big if the TV broadcasters ever have to give up a chunk of their spectrum.
|That's the spirit, Contestant #2!
(Applause. Drum salute.)
|Now, Contestant #3, you're pretty new to this show.
|Contestant #3:
|I kept hearing about how much the other contestants were winning, and figured I'd better get my fanny down here or I'd be totally shut out.
|But we told you many years ago that you don't have to play this game, Contestant #3. Haven't the other contestants been sharing their prizes with you?
|Contestant #3:
|Not really, no. I just never seem to get a hold of good lines or spectrum. Everybody talks about how you gotta spend money to earn money, but I find I gotta earn money to spend money.
|Careful, Contestant #3; this game is addictive. Once you start to play, you have to keep coming back! Is there anything special you've got your sights on?
|Contestant #3:
|I was just hoping, maybe, you could let me operate my service in broader bands of spectrum, and set up a few rules to prevent congestion.
|We hear you, Contestant #3! On this show today, you may come out doing just that!
|But wait. . . there's a note from our crew. (Tears open the envelope.) Sorry, Contestant #3, some powerful bandwidth users are complaining that you'll interfere with them.
|Contestant #3:
|I'll keep the power down, honest, you'll hardly be able to tell I'm there. . . .
|Well, we'll have to start the game with restrictions on that spectrum so you can't benefit from it, Contestant #3.
(Disappointed "Aw's" from audience.)
|Do you still want to play?
|Contestant #3:
|Heck, if I don't win at this, I'll spend the rest of my career checking the logs on some other employer's web server. Sure, I guess I'll play.
|Well, now, let's start today's show. And remember what we tell you every time: the way to win this game is to rely on the free market!

Player Character just got an Invincibility Power-Up, anime hero unlocked a Super Mode, or your essay is due in an hour and you drink a Red Bull. How do you represent the sudden increase in power? With circles and spheres. It can be in the form of a debris cloud that envelops the character, a Chunky Updraft that circles the character like electrons around an atom, a full-body halo that radiates from him, a barrier of any stripe, a cyclone spiraling upwards, or maybe Instant Runes following the character around like a celestial spotlight. Point is, it's got circles and therefore it must be powerful. This is possibly because a circle (in 2D) and sphere (in 3D) are the shapes any equally distributed outward pressure will form. Not to be confused with the Sphere of Destruction, although the two often do overlap.

So having refused to get out from under my blanket on the sofa as it was so cold I have sat in silence watching Cook play brilliantly and the rest varying forms of crap. Might make them bat again I suppose which is something. Whooppeee.
Compton - Looked all at sea.
Trott - Oh well
KP - Brainfart
Bell - Go home
Patel - Unlucky
Still think Prior should be at 5 in this line up as he is our best player of spin and is wasted at 7. Enjoying the comedy value of Dhoni today, dreadful keeper.
Oh yeah, and Yadav has been a pleasure to watch. Bowled superbly.
It may be getting to the point when India is a better test team with Saha instead of Dhoni. Problem is Kohli perhaps not yet ready for captaincy.
hasn't ashwin been rather unimpressive this game relatively speaing?
Ashwin still looking for his first second inning wicket.

"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."

Past ARL Leadership Fellows
Below are rosters of past cohorts of ARL Leadership Fellows, known as ARL Research Library Leadership Fellows prior to 2013. Professional titles and institutional affiliations listed below were current at the time of fellowship and may no longer be accurate.
ARL Leadership Fellows Program
The ARL Leadership Fellows program—known as the Research Library Leadership Fellows (RLLF) program from 2004 through 2012—is an executive leadership program designed and sponsored by ARL member libraries that offers an opportunity for development of future senior-level leaders in large research libraries and archives. The program engages library staff who have the desire and potential for leadership at ARL libraries with themes and institutions that will enhance their preparedness.
Within the multidimensional ARL Leadership Fellows program structure, fellows:
- extend their professional skill and experience base, enabling more effective leadership in a major research library;
- engage the major challenges and pressures currently facing research libraries in concert with some of the major library leaders who are shaping contemporary responses to these challenges;
- better understand the dynamics and politics of campus life in several of the leading research libraries of North America;
- create a network of colleagues to discuss and debate the critical issues and current trends facing research libraries;
- explore the use of innovative and entrepreneurial techniques needed to support the future direction of research libraries; and
- develop a clearer understanding of what it takes to be a successful research library director.
The program curriculum is designed to build on self-assessment and exploration of a personal and professional area of interest in the context of a group learning setting. ARL faculty, library leaders, and sponsoring library directors integrate the fellows' learning goals with the "big picture" issues that are most pressing for future leaders of large research libraries. These topics are the focus of institutes that are designed and facilitated by active leaders in the ARL community. The ARL Leadership Fellows curriculum is enhanced through short site visits to participating ARL libraries and attendance at ARL Membership Meetings.
For more information about the ARL Leadership Fellows program, see "Our Collective Wisdom: Succession Planning and the ARL Research Library Leadership Program" in Journal of Library Administration, 49, no.8 (2009): 781–793.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MEF717 Runs Small Love these sandals, took me forever to get the correct size because these bad boys are constantly sold out. Size UP at least half a size. Also, the sandals are a bit narrow but still work for me. Love love love the gold Tory logo on these. Have worn them nearly every day so far. August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sylvia8427 Great Sandals! Love these sandals! Very comfortable and stylish! Definitely recommend! July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaygeci Great summer sandals!! I like that you could wear them to work or grocery shopping. Must have summer staple. July 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Keanaa Beautiful but narrow These shoes are nice. I agree with previous posters order at least half a size up especially if you have flat feet like I do. I took a risk and ordered true to size and they fit but are very narrow. I only ordered true to size due to continuous lack of availability of other sizes and while I could have a better fit, I can live with it. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Danielle09 Beautiful gold logo I am in love with this shoe. The big gold tory burch logo on them is my favorite. I got them in the tan color. They go with everything.. Dressy or casual. I am very happy with my purchase. The perfect everyday sandal July 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Stephanie23 Pretty Good Sandal As this was my first TB purchase, I had very high expectations. Overall the sandal was comfortable and very stylish; however, what I did not know was to order atleast a half-size up. So now they are just sitting in the box awaiting for a new shipment for exchange. It was a little narrow near the bridge/widest part of my foot so I am hoping a 7 will do the trick! Crossing my fingers! July 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lonnie My favorite shoes I have had surgery on my feet and have had a hard time finding comfortable shoes. These sandals are fabulous!! They are soft and yet so fashion forward. I have both colors and love them!! Don't hesitate to buy these. July 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MissJane Very Versatile Shoe This lovely little sandal is quite versatile. It can be dressed up or worn casually. The gold accents are a nice pop giving the shoe elegance. These shoes are sensibly comfortable and well made. These are a classic staple for any wardrobe. Make sure to order at least a half-size up! July 2, 2014

FAIRBANKS, Ak - The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District has received a safety report regarding operating conditions of the school bus service they use to transport students.
Earlier this school year, several employees of First Student approached the school district with concerns regarding safety and maintenance issues with the busses and work conditions within the company.
Superintendent Pete Lewis ordered a safety review and tapped former Alaska State Trooper Bob Koslick to conduct the review.
Koslick findings show First Student inefficient in retaining qualified mechanics and issues with insulation of school busses.
The report did show a significant effort by First Student to address all safety and maintenance issues says Superintendent Pete Lewis.
"From that report we have tried to work with the company and with the Teamsters to look at how we can train better and make sure that all of the necessary tools and maintenance items to be able to address the shop needs and so on to make sure the busses are safe for all kids and all staff," Lewis said.

Is your face beautiful?
A German University of Regensburg conducted a study on the characteristics of beautiful faces of men and women. The study looked at a selection of people ranked as attractive and unattractive. The researchers defined common features in both groups and as a result, created the prototypes of attractive and unattractive faces of men and women. Below are the findings of this research.
Characteristic features of the female "sexy face" in comparison to the "unsexy face":
- Suntanned skin
- Narrower facial shape
- Less fat
- Fuller lips
- Slightly bigger distance of eyes
- Darker, narrower eye brows
- More, longer and darker lashes
- Higher cheek bones
- Narrower nose
- No eye rings
- Thinner lids
Characteristics of the male "Sexy face" in the comparison to the "unsexy face":
- Browner skin
- Narrower facial shape
- Less fat
- Fuller and more symmetrical lips
- Darker eye brows
- More and darker lashes
- Upper half of the face broader in relation to the lower
- Higher cheek bones
- Prominent lower jaw
- More prominent chin
- No receding brows
- Thinner lids
- No wrinkles between nose and corner of the mouth
Do you agree with the findings?

As if traveling with toddlers wasn't bad enough, now we have to worry about them being traumatized by TSA agents?
It's heart-wrenching to watch -- the video of 3-year-old Mandy Simon being aggressively patted down by a TSA employee at the airport as she screams and fights them.
While it happened a couple of years ago, the increase in complaints against TSA aggression has sent it viral recently as a prime example of what's wrong with the system. And how very wrong it is.
Sure, TSA has a job to do, and we want them to do it well, but safety first doesn't have to mean humanity is shelved.
What's seen on the video could have lasting implications for a child:
Note: The video has repeatedly been removed throughout the day, so if it becomes disabled, you can try a search for it if you want to see it all play out. But suffice it to say, it's a very brusque and overly aggressive way to handle a child who's clearly frightened.
We start from the earliest ages telling our children NOT to let strangers touch them, to speak up when someone is touching them in what feels like an inappropriate or aggressive way. Then all of a sudden, they're getting on a plane to go see grandma, and some rude employee starts yanking on them and putting their hands all over their body.
I can only imagine how terrified that little girl was, and it breaks my heart to think of my own children being treated in such a manner.
But I can't help but wonder why the father was able to think quickly enough to capture the traumatic incident on his cell phone, but not do something to intervene. He doesn't seem like a fame-seeking opportunist like John Tyner -- the "Don't Touch My Junk" guy -- at all. In fact, he seems like really nice guy and a concerned father, and perhaps he tried to intervene beyond what we see on the short video.
I don't know and offer no judgment, but the situation still makes me wonder what I would have done ... what I could do in the same case.
I would hope I would be calm and assertive enough to stick up for my child and say, "Hey, I know you have a job to do here, but can we slow down and try this another way" or ask for a supervisor ... or something to stop it.
If it was that bad, I might just rip my child away and take my chances on not making my flight.
Or maybe I'd just stand there helpless in disbelief that this was all happening and accept it as what our travel world has come to.
I don't know, and I wish it was a scenario no one had to consider.
We see only 17 seconds in the video, but those 17 seconds are enough to make my typical fears of flying with children seem pretty insignificant.
What would you do if your child was being treated like this by TSA officials?
Image via YouTube
Your video has been removed, apparently.
I would start crying uncontrollably whimpering, "Oh my God, my poor little baby. I will now have nightmares the rest of my life... and so will my child!" to make them feel guilty!!!!
Also, I traveled a lot this summer and discovered they pull black people (or african americans... never know what is politically correct) out of security line to search and scan their ticket. I asked the people they did this to if they get this sorry ass treatment all the time when flying, and all of them said, "YES!! Every flight. But I'm use to this!" I was disgusted and shocked by airline security treatment.
I have a Seattle friend who is Jewish but looks middle Eastern. He gets padded down for every flight and he is head of international business for Microsoft and travels 90% of the month. He is padded down in airport security ALWAYS and never by a hot chick might I add. So not fair! ;)
Not supprised. I am always pulled over and harassed and I am white and never had as much as a parking ticket. I do not think its always about race because from what I heard from a friend who is a tsa worker some people are on some kind of list for no apparent reason. Who knows why maybe because you once said publically you hate politicians. Half the people who are on the tsa watch list have never been in any kind of trouble, are not muslims, are not criminals. It really makes no sense so this 3 year old situation is no damn supprise to me at all. I was 18 when i started to get bothered which was right after 9/11. I am not tied to a damn thing i was a carefree typical 18 year old that just liked to travel during college breaks.
This is disgusting. Some person groping a 3 year old.
this is horrible.
Oh....I wouldn't let that happen.

The raging seas from last week's nor'easter left towns from Nantucket to the North Shore struggling to recover from the coastal erosion that carved away beaches, undermining houses and flooding residential areas.
On the eastern coast of Nantucket, the ocean's waves tore as much as 30 feet off the cliffs that run along Siasconset Beach. The erosion pushed the edge of the 80-foot-high cliff inland, dangerously close to Baxter Road, which runs along the coast, said Jeff Carlson, Nantucket's natural resources coordinator.

Want a source for waterproof paper for journal
I like to journal, especially on solo trips. I'm looking for a cheap, lightweight option. Thinking I could make my own journal cheaper than what's commercially available.Does anyone know of a good source for paper? I found a military site with Rite in the Rain paper,just wondering if anyone has any other ideas.Thanks,Leigh
The riteintherain paper is pretty good. They sell sheets that are more economical than the books.http://www.riteintherain.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=8511&Category=c2cb25d1-ee4c-4543-afb3-19d1549f29b8
Light and cheap? Can you keep it simple with a simple notebook and quart/gallon sized ziplock? Chances are, if it's going to rain anyway, you're already packing waterproofing for the sensitive contents in your pack?Depending on how much writing you plan on doing, you might consider putting together your own. A small variety of shipping "envelopes" (bags, really) are made from similar material--as the Rite-in-rain--and the plain-white inside can be used. IIRC, in the past, UPS (or was it USPS?) would give you lots of these bags/envelopes [free] if requested; I'll let you decide on the ethics of that if they are willing.Either way, unless you're using a pencil, you may want to experiment with different ink pens. I've found that some inks stay put and some don't, regardless of the paper type.
I too love writing when I'm camping. I generally use the lean-to journals that are there, and take a photo of each page I write (as well as photos of some of the more interesting entries). That way my entry stays for others to read, but I also have a copy. Hows that for light weight eh?
I found these notebooks at Walgreens that are made of "stone paper". It's pretty much the same things as the Rite in the Rain paper but MUCH cheaper.The paper does not tear, so I assume it's actually a plastic, but it takes ink beautifully. Pencil not so good. It's completely and utterly waterproof. It's a bit heavier than a normal notebook at the same size, but it's still plenty usable. I keep one in my kayak for doodling while my husband tries to catch fish.I've found them at Walgreens but apparently you can order them online as well.http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/oxford-earth-care-stone-paper-note-book/ID=prod6000650-product
Like Aaron said, cheap/lightweight = ziplock. Doesn't need a NASA solution.
I believe I have at least one, and maybe two, of the small notebooks they sell on BPL that I'll give you for free - if you join BPL! FWIW.
That's a great incentive doug! Now i may be inclined to purchase a lifelong membership if you threw in a MLD cricket!
"Depending on how much writing you plan on doing, you might consider putting together your own. A small variety of shipping "envelopes" (bags, really) are made from similar material--as the Rite-in-rain--and the plain-white inside can be used. IIRC, in the past, UPS (or was it USPS?) would give you lots of these bags/envelopes [free] if requested; I'll let you decide on the ethics of that if they are willing."AFAIK, taking free envelopes and not using them to mail stuff is mail fraud or something like that. A few years back there was a heated discussion on another forum where someone posted instructions on how to make "free" tyvek stuff sacks from them.I don't know what the odds are that one would get caught. It's your conscience...BM
Right, BM. Hence my comment, "I'll let you decide on the ethics of that if they are willing." Even if it isn't officially mail fraud, it's not far removed from taking condiments from restaurants for camping purposes (but that's another thread that's been done, of course).
Ginger that's a great find! I was in SW AR last weekend and the humidity was so high that even taking my notepad out of a baggie in camp it was damp!Doug, I actually was a member until just recently, I didn't renew because at the time I was cutting corners, wasn't sure if I'd have a job next year (I'm a teacher in TX, and the state budget is a mess.) The good news is I've been offered a contract for one more year...they actually think the year after is going to be worse :( I have missed being able to read the member articles :(
> Rite in the Rain paper,Good stuff. Reviewed here too.Cheers
