Out of all the black celebrity hairstyles that I've seen, her signature pomade is my absolute favorite one!
Also, she's one of the growing numbers of African American celebrities who are choosing to embrace their natural hair!
Monae rocking her natural, beautiful hair!!!
"I bathe in it, I swim in it, and I could be buried in it. A tux is such a standard uniform, it's so classy and it's a lifestyle I enjoy. The tux keeps me balanced.
I look at myself as a canvas. I don't want to cloud myself with too many colors or I'll go crazy. It's an experiment I'm doing. I think I want to be in the Guinness Book of World Records."
Janelle Monae is an American R&B/soul musician signed to Bad Boy Records and Atlantic Records.
After making a mark with her first unofficial album, The Audition, Monáe debuted with a conceptual EP, Metropolis: Suite I.
I LOVE her hair!
Her hair always looks well-moisturized, soft, and tangle-free!
I heard some of her music for the first time today and I really liked it. I even had to download two or three of them!
My hope for her is that she will always be chemical-free and soon be an example to other African American celebrities that you can be who you want to be and embrace your curls!
Love her <3

I was poking around the 'net and found a couple photos of Jim Caviezel I have never seen before, circa 1999/2000. (from http://www.eskimo.com/~toates/malick/trl/jim/)
The top photo is of JC and Will Wallace accepting the Golden Bear award in Berlin on behalf of Terrence Malick for The Thin Red Line.
The bottom photo is apparently JC at a Vanity Fair party. I can identify Harry Hamlin and Sugar Ray Leonard, but not the two women.
I also found a great treasure trove of early JC interviews that I posted on the Person of Interest Discussion Forum.

By CHEVEL JOHNSON
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The next generation moves to the forefront at this year's Essence Music Festival, which expands to four days of concerts and sets aside a day of activities geared toward emerging talent.
The up-and-comers will perform on the festival's opening day, July 5. Rising stars Diggy Simmons, the OMG Girlz and New Orleans' own Roots of Music will play on the New & Next Stage next to the Superdome.
Simmons is the son of Run DMC star Joseph Simmons. His uncle is record producer Russell Simmons.
The festival, which ends July 8, has been held every Independence Day weekend since its inception in 1995, when it marked the 25th anniversary of Essence magazine.
Essence Communications President Michelle Ebanks told The Associated Press the addition of a young-people-focused fourth day underscores the festival's goal of giving new talent a springboard.
"The youth empowerment experience was part of the festival's original design," she said.
Focusing on pushing up youth had before now been the "unofficial" start of the festival's free daily "empowerment experience," which seeks to tackle issues affecting minority communities and underscored its goal of moving the community and its people forward, she said.
"We felt it was important now to formally expand the festival to four days and formally move that youth experience into the spotlight," Ebanks said.
"Diggy Simmons, the OMG Girlz and the Roots of Music are of the moment and speak to the new and next generation," she said. "The Essence Music Festival is all about featuring performances from artists who are very experienced and beloved who have long track records. This stage allows us to look at who might be the next Mary J. Blige or D'Angelo and we want to celebrate that."
Simmons and members of the OMG Girlz said they hadn't attended the festival but were in awe of the opportunity to entertain in a venue that's seen acts such as Beyonce, Usher, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Prince and Janet Jackson.
"It's definitely a big deal," Simmons said. "I'm excited about playing at such a big event."
Simmons and the OMG Girlz have shared the same stage before _ during 2011's Scream Tour.
Bahja "Miss Beauty" Rodriguez, 15, said performing on the Essence festival's "brand new stage" set up to showcase them was huge.
"We're just so honored," she said. "It gives us a chance to appeal to a bigger audience and to perform before people who haven't heard of us."
Zonnique "Miss Star" Pullins, 16, agreed, adding that the event "will give people a chance to see what we're about."
"Hopefully, we can build our fan base," she said.
The Atlanta-based girl group, which also includes 17-year-old Breaunna "Miss Baby Doll" Womak, was created in 2009 by Kiesha Miles and Tameka "Tiny" Harris, who is also Star's mother and whose stint with the 1990s group Xscape helped guide the trio to a deal with Interscope Records.
The girls also are scheduled to perform July 6 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
Simmons, 17, of Queens, N.Y., recently dropped his debut album, "Unexpected Arrival," which features rapper Jadakiss, and R&B singers Jeremih and Tank. Simmons said he purposely kept the collaborations on this project at a minimum.
"I loved working with them," he said of the guest artists, "but I just wanted to showcase myself and showcase what I do."
The Girlz and Simmons each push a positive energy that Essence felt was conducive for the "New & Next" stage, Ebanks said.
"We sought groups who we could look to move youth forward as examples through their own experiences that might help point them in a better direction," she said.
"We try to bring a lot of positivity through our group," said Baby Doll. "We love what we're doing and we get along. We try to leave the drama on TV. It's an honor and a blessing to be in this kind of spotlight and we want to use (the fame) wisely."
"It's just how our parents raised us to be," Beauty said. "We like being a role model."
"A lot of girls look up to us," added Star. "We're able to talk to them about things we've been through or are going through."
Simmons said he's thankful for being able to positively inspire his fans.
"My message is always that it doesn't matter where you come from, go for whatever it is you want to do," he said. "Don't let life or distractions get in your way. Don't fall for peer pressure. Be yourself, be the person you want to be. The best thing you can ever do is bring what you want to the table."

The Islanders wrapped up their four-game home stand with another disappointing loss. Brad Richardson scored at 2:16 of overtime to give the Vancouver Canucks a 5-4 win over the Isles. The Islanders got a point but finished the home stand with a disappointing 1-1-2 mark.
Like most recent Isles' games, Tuesday night's contest was a roller coaster ride for the club. At times, the Isles played very well, at times they looked lethargic and in the end, their effort just wasn't good enough to get the win.
The game started out with wide open play and Islanders held the early lead on goals by Brock Nelson and Matt Moulson by the time the contest was 4:41 old. For Nelson, it was his first career NHL goal.
"It was exciting, but it would be a lot better if it came in a win," Nelson admitted. "It was a great play by my two linemates. I was lucky to be on the other end of it."
Moulson's goal came on the power play with assists by Frans Nielsen and John Tavares. The assist extended Tavares' point streak to eight games.
The 2-0 lead was short-lived, however as Ryan Kesler tied the game just 16 seconds later while Daniel Sedin evened the score at the 9:09 mark of the first period at 2-2. The game settled down after that and resumed a more conservative and choppy pace. On both goals, Isles' starter Evgeni Nabokov had issues with rebound control. This problem would haunt him throughout the night.
Matt Moulson's second goal of the game 4:48 into the second period put the Isles back on top 3-2. Moulson battled in front of the crease for the puck and finally pushed it past Roberto Luongo to give the Isles the lead back.
But Henrik Sedin tied the game up again at the 12:39 mark of the second stanza to make the score 3-3 and deadlock things again.
The key goal came with 17.2 seconds left in the second period. Kevin Bieksa stole the puck from Nelson and Higgins deposited another juicy rebound behind Nabokov. That made it 4-3 Vancouver and gave the Canucks m0mentum heading into the third period.
The Islanders were flat for most of the third period and it looked like the 4-3 margin would stand but with Nabokov off for an extra attacker, Nielsen took a pretty pass from Andrew MacDonald and slid the puck into the open left side of the Vancouver goal to tie the score with just 1:12 left in regulation time.
That earned the Isles a point but set the stage for Richardson's game-winner on yet another rebound 2:16 into overtime. The Canucks outshot the Islanders 4-0 in the extra session.
"Any time you get a point in this league it's obviously big, but at some point, we've got to start getting these other points," admitted forward Matt Martin. "We've got to find ways to win these games."
Islanders' coach Jack Capuano tried to emphasize the positive after the game. "We out-chanced a good hockey team in our building tonight," Capuano said. "I thought our power play and our penalty killing were good. We had some young guys in the lineup that played pretty well tonight. I'll give [Vancouver] credit; they got pucks to the net and got some rebounds."
The Islanders return to action Friday night when they travel to Pittsburgh to meet the Penguins.
The game was a homecoming of sorts for Canucks' coach John Tortorella who coached in New York with the Rangers the past several seasons.
Attendance was 11,922.
Cal Clutterbuck led the Isles with seven hits. As a team, New York outhit Vancouver 36-22.
Long Island native Chris Higgins returned home in a Canucks uniform and had a contingent of family and friends in attendance.

The past year hasn't been easy for Jennie Garth, but she's emerged a new person after splitting from husband Peter Facinelli after 11years and turning 40, but the actress says she experienced a "rebirth."People that 2012 "has been a bit of a rebirth for me as a person by shedding that negative space and all the pain associated with that time."
Actor Peter Facinelli co-hosted "LIVE! with Kelly" with Kelly Ripa on Tuesday and opened up for the first time about his difficult split from wife Jennie Garth.
"I recently got divorced from my wife, which has been very painful" said Facinelli. The show was airing from Banff.
Actress Jennie Garth opened up for the first time about her recent split with Peter Facinelli, telling People magazine, "I didn't want it to happen."
"I was very resistant," she told People of when Facinelli asked for a divorce last fall. "It took me some time to come to peace with it."
Although they announced their divorce a few weeks ago, Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli were seen at a toy store in Sherman Oaks, Calif. over the weekend.
According to X17Online, the couple stopped by the store with daughters, Lola, 9, and Fiona, 5.

More Knife Sharpening Tips From Bob Kramer: How To Hone & Stone
Last week we shared Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer's helpful advice on how to tell if your knife is sharp enough — but how do you sharpen your knife in the first place? Here are two more videos from Kramer demonstrating how to correctly hone and stone your knives, processes which take just a few minutes, but make such a difference in cooking.
Honing, done with a steel, straightens the edge of your knife after use. If even after honing your knife is not sharp enough, it is time to use a whetstone, which actually removes metal to form a sharp edge again. Kramer includes a lot of helpful tips in the videos above, such as using a matchbook to find the correct angle to hold your knife against the steel and stone, and using a kitchen scale to figure out the amount of pressure you should be exerting as you hone.
How often do you hone and stone your knives?

Thank you! I never knew how to do this, and I'm much less intimidated now.
This is a fabulous series. Thanks for posting! I have stones for shapening my speed skates, but didn't know I could use them on my kitchen knives.
Same process for serrated knives? And are "knife sharpeners" frowned upon?
as far as i know you cannot sharpen serrated knives at home...
This is wonderful! Any suggestions on what to look for when purchasing a stone and a steel? And where to find them economically? I have a steel that came with my knife block and set, but I'm wondering if it's good enough. Thank you again. So glad to watch this series.
A tip that is not included in the video for stoning is that it is important to sharpen each side of the blade (except for traditional Japanese blades) equally. I simply count the strokes for each side.
These are quick technique to sharpen a knife.There is another fastest way to sharpen a knife, that is electric knife sharpener. There are various brand knife sharpener you can check out this how to select an electric knife sharpener
Thank you so much for this! I LOVE cutting in the kitchen, and though I had a mandoline and a food processor, using a knife for almost everything was more fun and less trouble to clean up. I bought a stone and tried and tried to teach myself. My former husband and niece are both chefs, and neither one could teach me -- they have theirs sharpened for them! A guy comes around with his truck once a week and does the whole kitchen's knives; in the meantime, they just hone. I worked at it and worked at it, but couldn't get the angle thing just right. I knew that was important -- and here, a matchbook solves the problem! I'm back in business. And I have a new crush -- Bob Kramer is a good teacher and not at all hard on the eyes (well, yes -- I am a woman of a certain age, as the French tactfully put it).

Make this spicy appetizer up to 2 days ahead, and sprinkle with cilantro right before serving. Serve the dip with baked tortilla chips.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeño; cover and cook 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Add tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Cool completely. Stir in 2 tablespoons cilantro, pepper sauce, and sour cream. Cover and chill. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro.

To many families, it isn't a holiday dinner without a gelatin salad. This rendition uses Riesling, but for a nonalcoholic version, substitute sparkling white grape juice. Make up to a day ahead and refrigerate. Dip the covered mold into a bowl of warm water for 5 seconds to make the salad easier to unmold.
Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup wine, and let stand 5 minutes.
Combine 1 cup wine, juice, and sugar in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat; add gelatin mixture, stirring until the gelatin dissolves. Place pan in a large ice-filled bowl; let stand 20 minutes or until thick but not set, stirring occasionally. Whisk the gelatin mixture to form small bubbles; fold in orange sections, grapes, and raspberries. Spoon gelatin mixture into a 5-cup decorative mold coated with cooking spray. Cover and chill at least 4 hours. Place a plate upside down on top of mold; invert mold onto plate.

Basting promotes browning, and hot drippings help seal the skin to hold in juices and keep the turkey moist. You'll have plenty of Rosemary Gravy to go over the stuffing and potatoes, and to use on open-faced turkey sandwiches later.
Preheat oven to 325°.
Remove neck, heart, gizzard, and liver from turkey. Reserve neck, heart, and gizzard for Homemade Turkey Stock; discard liver. Rinse turkey thoroughly with cold water; pat dry. Trim excess fat. Combine onion, celery, 1 tablespoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stuff body cavity with onion mixture. Tie ends of legs with twine. Lift wing tips up and over back; tuck under bird.
Place a roasting rack coated with cooking spray in a roasting pan. Place turkey, breast side up, on rack. Brush with butter; sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour 1 cup Homemade Turkey Stock in bottom of pan. Insert a meat thermometer into meaty part of thigh, making sure not to touch bone. Cover turkey breast tightly with foil. Bake at 325° for 2 hours, basting with 1/3 cup Homemade Turkey Stock every 30 minutes (1 1/3 cups total). Remove foil; bake an additional 1 1/2 hours or until thermometer registers 180°, basting with 1/3 cup Homemade Turkey Stock every 30 minutes (2/3 cup total). Remove turkey from oven; let stand 30 minutes. Discard skin.
Place a zip-top plastic bag inside a 2-cup glass measure. Pour pan drippings into bag; let stand 10 minutes (fat will rise to the top). Seal bag, and snip off 1 bottom corner of bag. Drain pan drippings into a measuring cup, stopping before the fat layer reaches the opening. Reserve 2 tablespoons fat, and discard remaining fat. Combine the pan drippings with 2 cups Homemade Turkey Stock.
Heat 2 tablespoons reserved fat in bottom of roasting pan over medium heat. Add flour, stirring with a whisk. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the pan drippings mixture. Combine water and cornstarch, stirring with a whisk. Add the cornstarch mixture to pan, stirring with a whisk. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add 1 tablespoon rosemary. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until sauce thickens. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve gravy with turkey.

If you're cooking this and Mashed Honey-Roasted Sweet Potatoes at the same time, it will take a bit longer for the stuffing to cook - about 25 minutes covered and 20 minutes uncovered.
Preheat oven to 250°.
Place bread in a single layer on 2 baking sheets. Bake at 250° for 1 hour or until dry. Set aside.
Remove casings from sausage. Cook the sausage in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Place sausage in a large bowl.
Heat oil in pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and mushrooms; cover and cook 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in thyme and the next 4 ingredients (thyme through pepper). Add the onion mixture, bread, and parsley to sausage; toss gently to combine. Add Homemade Turkey Stock, and stir until moist.
Increase oven temperature to 350°.
Spoon the bread mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes or until top is crusty.

Prepare this sweet potato dish up to a day ahead, and store, covered, in the refrigerator. To reheat, bake at 350°, covered, for 45 minutes. The temperature and time work well with Sausage and Mushroom Stuffing, and the turkey can stand while this reheats.
Preheat oven to 375°.
Place potatoes in a single layer on 2 large baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Lightly spray potatoes with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 1 hour or until tender, stirring occasionally. Place the potatoes, 1/4 cup honey, butter, and salt in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey.
Cooking Light NOVEMBER 2003
Toast the almonds and blanch the vegetables a day ahead to ease preparation during the day's rush. If you would rather not make the Homemade Turkey Stock, substitute fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Spread almonds in a single layer in a shallow pan. Bake at 350° for 7 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Cool completely, and set aside.
Place carrots in a large saucepan of boiling water; cook 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. Plunge into ice water, and drain. Place broccoli in boiling water; cook 2 minutes. Drain and plunge into ice water; drain.
Melt the butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots; sauté 2 minutes or until tender. Reduce heat to medium. Add carrots, broccoli, Homemade Turkey Stock, salt, and pepper; cover and cook 6 minutes or until carrots and broccoli are crisp-tender. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve immediately.
Cooking Light NOVEMBER 2003
Make up to a week ahead, and store, covered, in the refrigerator. The strong ginger flavor of this basic cranberry sauce goes well with the turkey and herb-infused gravy.
Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 9 minutes or until the cranberries pop. Cool completely. Serve at room temperature.
Cooking Light NOVEMBER 2003
Refrigerated pie dough makes this classic pumpkin pie recipe simple to prepare. Bake the pie on a baking sheet in the lower third of the oven to encourage a crisp crust.
Position oven rack to lowest position.
Preheat oven to 425°.
To prepare filling, combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add pumpkin, and stir with a whisk until smooth.
To prepare crust, roll dough into an 11-inch circle; fit into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Fold edges under and flute.
Pour pumpkin mixture into the crust. Place pie plate on a baking sheet. Place baking sheet on lowest oven rack. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350° (do not remove pie from oven); bake an additional 50 minutes or until almost set. Cool completely on wire rack.
To prepare topping, beat cream with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Add the amaretto and powdered sugar, and beat until blended. Serve with pie.

Entering the last week of the season I'm sitting at 153-87. That's ok but not great. I'd like to be over 170 for the season, but it is what it is at this point. Let's finish strong. With teams resting players and teams out, I'll also take a look at the postseason and offseason for the teams in addition to my picks. Tampa Bay at Atlanta - A game where one team has everything locked up and another team is out of the playoffs is tough to pick. The Bucs are a young team with a good core on offense. They need to bring in some more pieces on defense to keep getting better. I like where they are going. The Falcons are headed to the playoffs and have the #1 seed. Everyone, including me, have been asking what the Falcons can do in the postseason. A running game and good defense are key to consistent play in the postseason. Turner is a little older but Rodgers adds a nice change of pace for him. This is a complete team but we all want to see them do ...

MILFORD, Del.- Delaware State Police say a motorcyclist stopped for speeding in Milford ended up being arrested on a variety of drug charges.
Police said that on Wednesday night, troopers were patrolling the area of SR Route 1 and Truitt Road in Milford when they saw a motorcycle traveling over the posted speed limit. Troopers stopped the Kawasaki motorcycle in the area of SR 1 northbound at Argos Corner Road and made contact with the operator, 36-year-old William S. Robbins.
Troopers said Robbins, who appeared to be under the influence of drugs and could not provide any identification, was taken into custody.
According to police, a backpack in Robbins' possession contained more than 2.7 grams of heroin, eight Clonazepam pills, 5.5 Diazepam pills, 64 syringes and other drug paraphernalia. A computer inquiry of Robbins' also showed a capias out of Sussex County Court of Common Pleas.
Robbins was taken into custody and charged with possession of heroin, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under the influence of drugs, driving while suspended, speeding, expired registration, fictitious registration and no proof of insurance.
He was arraigned and ordered held in the Sussex Correctional Institution on $4,750 secured bond.

Shopping malls are crowded this time of year, which made Tuesday's shooting at a mall in Portland, Ore., that much more scary and chaotic.
ABC News' Alex Stone reports from the mall:
This mall is one of Portland's biggest and busiest. It was full of holiday shoppers. Children were lined up to see Santa. He hit the ground in his red suit, crawling away while families scattered.
Jocelyn Lay was in Macy's. She credits a store employee with guiding her to safety and possibly saving her life.
"He said, 'Now you go out that exit'," Lay said. "I'm gonna go back upstairs and help other people."
For two hours, the stock rooms of stores at this mall became shelters. Employees and shoppers waited for SWAT teams to arrive to tell them they were safe.
Former special agent and terrorism expert Brad Garrett joins us now with the latest on the shooter.

David Morrissey talks The Govenor's backstory and acting with an eye patch
Gene Page-AMC
The Walking Dead returns from hiatus Sunday night at 9 p.m. and we're all eagerly anticipating what the writers have up their sleeves for the second half of the season. When we last left the zombified world, The Governor just saw his zombie daughter Penny killed in front of his eyes, had his own eye stabbed with a piece of glass and was about to force brothers, Merle and Daryl, to fight to the death in Woodbury's makeshift arena. MSN caught up with David Morrissey who plays The Governor to chat about the character, the second half of the third season, and acting with an eye patch.
Will we see more of the Governor's backstory from the novel Rise of The Governor in the second half of the season?
You won't see it, but things will be revealed. We don't work in the world of flashbacks. There are no scenes that suddenly perpetuate you back into a time before the event. You see more of him, and more of the reason why he is like he is. That's important to me. Seeing a man and the reasons why he's behaving in the way that he is.
One of the reasons he'll be behaving the way he does in the second half of the season is seeing his daughter killed before his eyes in the fall finale. How did you prepare for that scene?
For me that scene was the heart and soul of him. I think what's interesting about The Governor is that he lost his wife before the zombie apocalypse. His wife died in a car crash. So I imagine when that happened to that man, any father would have to sit down with his child and try to explain that, and try to explain that loss, and get through that loss with his child. I can imagine someone saying at a point, "It's you and I now, darling. Daddy's going to look after you now. Nothing bad is going to happen to you." She can help her at a time of grief, and he can help her. There's a bonding between father and child because of that tragedy. When this terrible thing happens, and she becomes a walker, he's not going to give her up. She's still his daughter. He's made promises to this girl. He's talked about the future with her. He's promised that he would never let her go. That's the promise he's trying to fulfill when he's combing her hair, or singing her lullabies. It's tragic for him. When she's absolutely taken away from him in such a brutal way, he's in trauma. I think part of where we are going in the season, is seeing a man who is really in a terrible, traumatic situation. The little bit of humanity that he had is closing down very rapidly. He's angry of the world, and wants revenge for what the world has done to him. From a psychological point of view, that really makes sense to me. We see that a lot. People want payback for what the world has done to them. Whether it's real or imagined. That's a very dangerous person. The most dangerous person is someone who has nothing to lose. If Andrea, and Merle don't grab hold of him and remind him of what his humanity was, he can become a very dangerous man, very quickly. He's lost it.
And his eye for that matter. How was getting used to acting with an eye patch on?
That was quite strange! It took me by surprise. I just thought, "OK. That'll be fine. I can do that." What it does is gives you headaches, and it also gives you completely different sensory perception. You lose your depth of field. Also, he's not living in the middle of Beverly Hills, so he's not going to get some nice eye surgery. He's going to wear that scar. He's a marked man. It's something he's carrying as a badge of honour. That's who he is. The world has done this to me. This is who I am. It's a medieval thing that you wear your scars proudly, and that's who you are. Also just the fact that he has a scar, all it means is that he's still alive. A scar in this world is about being alive or being dead. He's still alive. That's very important for him. He's still alive and the person who attacked him is still alive. That's where he's going to go.
He'll certainly want revenge on Michonne, but there's also the impending showdown with Rick and his group.
I think definitely the stars are aligned for these two communities to come on some sort of collision course. I think how you get there is very surprising. I think the thing that's really good about this season is, so far the similarities between Rick and The Governor, are quite apparent. Rick spent a lot of Season 2 debating whether to kill a man. Whereas, in Season 3, he kills someone in the blink of an eye, very quickly. He just throws him out to the walkers. It's a different man we're seeing now. The world is brutalizing these people. When Michonne turns up at the prison, Rick doesn't open up the gates and make her a cup of tea, he absolutely beats the sh*t out of her, and wants to know what's going on. He's a product of the world he lives in. So are all these people. There's an element of nice guys come in second. It's got to get brutalized. I think going forward, the idea that these two communities are on a collision course, how we play with it in the second half of the season is quite surprising rather than, "Let's go to war." There are other levels to it to be played out.
Given the way the comic goes, you know the end is near for The Governor, are you dreading the day that script gets delivered?
I think one of the great things about the show is that no one is safe. It's not a show that is frightened about killing off its big character and you've seen that with Shane and Laurie. It's not a show where you have the Star Trek moments of three of the lead actors go out, and there's one guy you've never seen before, and you think, "I don't think he's going to make it back to the Enterprise." From an audience point of view, it's that nobody is safe. I love the show, and I love being on it. I want to live as long as possible. All of the actors, all of us are aware, like life, that days are a ticking clock. The next script that gets delivered, we might be the one. I think that gives it, particularly from an audience point of view, it gives a reality. In a show that's pitched in such a heightened world, the reality that we go through is very strong. One of the realities is that no one is safe. You can't look at an actor and think, "They're never going to kill him of." They might.

|Career highlights
Michael Kevin O'Loughlin (born 20 February 1977) is a former professional Australian rules footballer, who played his entire Australian Football League career with the Sydney Swans.
O'Loughlin was named a member of the Indigenous Team of the Century. He was the third player with Indigenous heritage to play 300 AFL games. He twice achieved All-Australian selection, played for Australia twice in the International Rules Series, and was a Fos Williams Medallist as best player for South Australia in State of Origin. O'Loughlin was the first Sydney Swans player to play more than 300 career games. In 303 games he kicked 521 career goals.
Early life[edit]
His parents never married, so he was given his mother's maiden name of O'Loughlin, which came from her Irish great-great-great-grandfather. O'Loughlin's ancestors were Czech Jews, Indigenous Australian (Kaurna and Ngarrindjeri), and Irish and English. His paternal grandfather was a Czech Jew.[1][2][3][4]
He grew up in South Australia and first played senior football with Centrals in the SANFL.
AFL career[edit]
Selected in the third round of the 1994 National Draft, O'Loughlin played 12 senior games for the Swans in 1995 and earned a AFL Rising Star award nomination. The following year, he was a key player in the team that won the minor premiership and then lost to North Melbourne in the grand final. He was the games record holder for the Swans, passing John Rantall's record in Round 14 of the 2007 season, until he was overtaken by his close friend Adam Goodes. He became the first Sydney Swans/South Melbourne player to break the 300 games milestone in Round 19, 2009.
O'Loughlin played the majority of his early football in a half-forward flanker role, where his combination of speed, strength and agility made him a difficult player for opposing teams to match up against. He was known by the nickname "Magic" throughout his career, in recognition of his capacity to play football so skillfully that it could sometimes seem he had "cast a spell" on his opponents.[citation needed] He was also known by the nickname, "Micky O".[5] In the latter part of his career, he was primarily used as Sydney's full-forward. In 2000 and 2001, he was the club's leading goalkicker. He was club best and fairest in 1998 and runner-up in 2000. He was selected in the All Australian Team in 1997 and 2000. When State of Origin matches were still being played, he represented his state on several occasions, receiving the Fos Williams Medal for best South Australian player in 1998.
In 2005, he was selected alongside Sydney Swans teammate and uncle Adam Goodes in the Indigenous Team of the Century. O'Loughlin was chosen in the full-forward position. He described this honor as the highlight of his career, alongside the 2005 premiership.
O'Loughlin, the only player remaining in the team from the 1996 loss, played strongly during the 2005 grand final, including a number of exceptional marks.[citation needed] However, and uncharacteristically, his kicking for goal during the game was inaccurate.
In 2006, O'Loughlin continued to be a key part of the Swans' line-up, including playing a decisive role in the qualifying and preliminary finals that put the Swans into the grand final for the second consecutive year. In the 2006 Grand Final, O'Loughlin played well, kicking 3.1 (19). He continued to play consistently well for Sydney through the balance of his career.[citation needed]
In the close 2006 Qualifying Final against the West Coast Eagles at Subiaco Oval, O'Loughlin ran into an open goal, then carried on to the fence and roared into the faces of some rather stunned-looking Eagles' fans from a few inches away. The moment is captured in Jamie Cooper's painting the Game That Made Australia, commissioned by the AFL in 2008 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the sport.[6]
On 23 June 2009, O'Loughlin announced that at the end of the 2009 season he would retire. He played his 300th game in round 19 at the MCG against the Richmond Tigers.

- Bob Skilton Medal 1998
- All-Australian 1997, 2000
- International Rules Series 1997, 2000
- Fos Williams Medal 1998

- Outstanding achievement in AFL 2005 (The Deadlys)
- Indigenous Team of the Century
- Outstanding achievement in AFL 2009 (The Deadlys)[7]
- Male Sportsperson of the Year 2009 (The Deadlys)[7]
Post AFL career[edit]
Since leaving the AFL, O'Loughlin has continued a media profile. In September 2009 he launched the Goodes O'Loughlin Foundation (www.go-foundation.org), along with his cousin & co-Chairman Adam Goodes, focused on Education, Employment, and healthy Lifestyles. The Foundation's mission is to develop and empower the next generation of Indigenous role models in Australia.
O'Loughlin was awarded the 2009 AFL Players' Association Madden for his on and off-field contributions to the game.
In 2010 O'Loughlin coached the Flying Boomerangs indigenous side during their Cape Town tour, leading the side to victory against the South Africa National Australian Rules Football Team. He was later named coach of the World 18 for the AFL National Under 16 Championships.[8]
In 2011 he was named as coach of the Indigenous All Star team for their biennial game, this time against the Richmond Tigers. O'Loughlin also represented South Australia against Victoria in the State of Origin Slowdown charity match at the Adelaide Oval on 3 October 2011. Both teams were composed of retired players with the match supporting both the Little Heroes Foundation and the Reach Foundation youth charities started by former Melbourne Demons star player, the late Jim Stynes.
Off field controversy[edit]
In 2000, it was alleged that O'Loughlin had participated in the rape of a woman in a park in Adelaide along with two other AFL players, Adam Heuskes and Peter Burgoyne. The woman claimed that while Heuskes and Burgoyne raped her, O'Loughlin masturbated close to her face.[9] O'Loughlin was neither charged nor questioned by police but Burgoyne and Heuskes were both charged with rape. The case, however, did not go to court as the Director of Public Prosecutions, Paul Rofe, said there was "no reasonable prospect of conviction on any criminal charge" due to a lack of witnesses.[9] Despite this, the three players made a $200,000 cash payment to the alleged victim.[10] The incident came to public light when it was examined on the ABC investigative program Four Corners in 2004.

This work is in contrast to the efforts on IMPRINT, in which the focus is on behavior modification at the task level.
Although data exist on the effects of extrinsic moderator variables on human performance, most of these data provide only cutoff points or limits, rather than performance degradation functions. As a result, these variables cannot be encoded directly into models of human behavior. However, as shown by the work on IMPRINT, it is possible to develop and test hypotheses about the effects on performance time and accuracy of specific levels of such variables as temperature, noise, and sleepless hours.
With regard to internal moderators of behavior, several theories have been developed that categorize the variables related to personality, emotion, and cultural values. In some cases, the theories associate the variables with variations in performance. Yet there is a great deal of overlap among the variables classified under personality, emotion, attitude, and cultural values, and most of the empirical data in this area are subjective and qualitative. Some preliminary success has been achieved with the introduction of internal behavior moderators into models of human behavior. However, these models include extremely simplistic representations of the relationships between specified levels of one or more of these variables and performance.
Apply existing knowledge about both extrinsic and internal behavior moderators to establish value settings for various parameters of human behavior. That is, estimate how specified levels of sleep loss or fatigue, for example, might affect attention, multitasking, or decision making, and observe the effects of the use of such estimates in a sample of simulated engagements.
Study the effects of introducing emotion into models of human behavior in the form of relatively simple algorithms. For example, set up demonstrations to show how different levels and types of emotion affect decision making outcomes in the models. Use subjective assessments by experienced operational personnel to determine the value of these additions for increasing the realism of event sequences.
Formulate a research strategy for developing sufficient knowledge about selected behavior moderators to provide a basis for encoding these variables into computational models.
Develop computational models of behavior moderators that are based solidly on empirical research findings.

Macmillan, Feb 14, 2012 - History - 292 pages
"This is a starry love story, a tale of seething jealousies and subterfuge, a political imbroglio, and religious cruelties. It sounds like Shakespeare and it could have very well been the plot of one of his plays."
--Toronto Star
In 1494, award-winning author Stephen R. Bown tells the untold story of the explosive feud between monarchs, clergy, and explorers that split the globe between Spain and Portugal and made the world's oceans a battleground.

Flourtowner, 98, reflects on career as ballet star
When I had a recent opportunity to speak to Yvonne Patterson, an original member of George Balanchine's American Ballet, who also danced with the Grand Ballet de Monte Carlo, and occasionally with the Rockettes, I dropped my apron and oven mitts and jumped into my car. Those who can't dance can interview.
Imagine my surprise when a 98-year-old woman, who doesn't need glasses, drove up in a red car.
I introduced myself, and we went indoors to her home in Flourtown.
I can barely speak to dancers without stammering, especially world-class ones like Miss Patterson. I have tried to do what they do, and I know it's impossible.
The true, shocking results of Local readers' survey
The results of the Chestnut Hill Local readers' survey were reported on page 3 of the paper last week, but don't believe everything you read in the papers. I have my own personal spin on the results, based upon my patented data-processing formula.
First, I parse the information into syntactic components in order to determine its compatibility with logical morphology. Then I bake it in a shallow pan for three hours at 500 degrees. This causes the truth to rise to the top, which I then skim off and serve with seasoned candor. Forthwith are my conclusions, which I stand behind completely, unless I decide to sit down.
In terms of circulation, it appears that more than 100 people read the Local. That number includes some of the people who work for the paper. The average Local reader is 98 years old, but in fact, most are much older.
Chestnut Hill's Ignat Solzhenitsyn conducted the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia in an all-Mozart program Sunday afternoon. The program marked the continuation of a return to its core repertoire by the ensemble the young maestro and pianist has led for the past five seasons. It also displayed the exceptionally high level of playing now characteristic of the group as well as Solzhenitsyn's affinity for Mozart's music.
Economy forces one 'Coyote' to change his species
The restaurant business is always a crapshoot, but there has definitely never been a time in my lifetime that has been so devastating to the industry as there is now. One industry expert was quoted recently on the Nightline TV show, stating that nationwide restaurant business is down about 50 percent over the same time period last year.
According to Carlos Melendez, owner of Coyote Crossing in Conshohocken and the former Coyote Crossing in West Chester, "This is not a recession in our business. It is a depression. Since this financial crisis started, my business is down 35 percent in Conshohocken and 60 percent in West Chester. If things don't turn around, I may lose both restaurants."
Melendez, 41, a native of Mexico City, opened his Conshohocken restaurant 13 years ago. Eventually it became the most successful Mexican restaurant in the Delaware Valley. It was not unusual to wait for an hour for a table on a weekend night.

The editors of the Birmingham News in Alabama recenlty called upon a trial court to overrule a jury's 10-2 recommendation for death in the case of Esaw Jackson because of his mental disabilities. While noting that in many states Jackson would not even be eligible for the death penalty following a non-unanimous vote, the News added that an IQ test, conducted by a state expert on Jackson, showed an IQ of 56, well below the level that generally indicates an intellectual disability. In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court held that those with intellectual disabilities (mental retardation), cannot be sentenced to death. The editors pointed out, "There are a number of reasons why intellectual disabilities are a reason for leniency: It stands to reason that someone without adequate intellectual capacity should not bear full legal responsibility for their actions. A strong case also can be made that people with diminished mental capabilities are at a disadvantage when it comes to defending themselves. Some intellectually disabled defendants, for instance, have confessed to crimes they didn't commit." The editorial concluded, "If Jackson is intellectually incapable of bearing full responsibility for his actions, he not only should not be put to death - he cannot be under the law. Staging not just one but two capital trials was a colossal waste of time and money. [The judge] can avoid throwing more money down the drain by simply sentencing Jackson to life in prison with no chance for parole."
In the latest edition of the Death Penalty Information Center's podcasts, we interview attorney Jennifer Whitfield (pictured) of Covington & Burling, who worked to secure the release of former death row inmate Larry Smith in Alabama. Mr. Smith was sentenced to death in 1995 for a murder related to a robbery. His conviction hinged on a statement he made after 4 hours of interrogation. In violation of police guidelines, his interrogation was not recorded, and Mr. Smith later said his admission of involvement in the crime was coerced and influenced by threats made to prosecute his wife. No physical evidence or eyewitness account linked Mr. Smith to the murder, and a witness, who said Smith hatched a plan to rob the victim, was later implicated in planning the crime himself. In 2007, an Alabama Circuit Court ordered a retrial, and a plea deal was reached this year (April 6, 2012) that allowed Mr. Smith to be released after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery. The murder charges against him were dropped. In the podcast interview, Ms. Whitfield discusses the failures that led to Mr. Smith's conviction and how some of those problems, including inadequate representation and coerced confessions, affect the death penalty system at large. Listen to the podcast.
Larry Smith, an Alabama inmate who spent most of the last 17 years on death row, was released earlier this month after pro bono lawyers from Covington and Burling, LLP presented evidence that that Smith's trial attorney had not properly investigated the case, that the confession was coerced, and that testimony from an informant who had initially pointed police to Smith was unreliable. Based on this evidence, the Alabama Circuit Court ordered a new trial for Smith in 2007. After give years of unsuccessful appeals by the state, a plea agreement was reached in Smith's case and he was released from prison on April 6. In their 2007 ruling, the Alabama Circuit Court said, "Had counsel effectively represented Mr. Smith, the case presented to the jury would have looked very different… Whether individually or cumulatively, the effect of these omissions was overwhelming and the Court finds a reasonable probability exists that but for the ineffective assistance of Mr. Smith's counsel, the outcome of the Mr. Smith's trial might well have been different."
Alabama recently set an execution date for Thomas Arthur (pictured), who was convicted of a murder that took place 30 years ago. Arthur has always maintained his innocence, but has been denied access to DNA evidence that might lead to a different verdict. As Andrew Cohen pointed out in an investigative piece in The Atlantic, Arthur is scheduled for execution on March 29, despite the confession of Bobby Ray Gilbert to the crime for which Arthur is facing execution. There was no physical evidence that linked Arthur to the murder, and his sentence was secured almost entirely by the testimony of the victim's wife, Judy Wicker. At first, Wicker told the authorities that Arthur was not involved in the crime, but when she was convicted for hiring someone to murder her husband, she arranged a deal with the prosecution. In exchange for a recommendation of early release from prison, she changed her original testimony and implicated Arthur. Since then, Gilbert has testified under oath to the murder. Gilbert said he had an affair with Wicker and soon agreed to kill her husband. State courts, however, have ruled that Gilbert's confession was not credible, and have opposed DNA testing on an item recovered from the crime scene that could identify who was actually involved in the crime. Arthur's attorneys have agreed to pay for the DNA testing.
The latest edition of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund's Death Row USA shows a decrease of 31 inmates between January 1 and July 1, 2011. Over the last decade, the total population of state and federal death rows has decreased significantly, from 3,682 inmates in 2000 to 3,220 inmates in 2011. The percentage of Latino inmates facing execution, however, has steadily increased over the years. In 1991, Latinos made up 6% of the nation's death row. In 2011, Latinos or Latinas comprised 12% of death row inmates. The states with the largest number of Hispanic death row inmates are California (167), Texas (95) and Florida (37). The report also contains information on the race and gender of the victims in the underlying murders for those executed. In cases where an execution has occurred since 1976, 77% of the victims in the underlying murders were white, even though generally whites constitute slightly less than 50% of all murders.
On January 18, the U.S. Supreme Court (7-2) ordered a new hearing in federal court for Cory Maples, an Alabama death row inmate whose state and federal appeals had been rejected by lower courts because his lawyers quit and missed a critical filing deadline. Writing for six of the Court's Justices, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg highlighted the poor quality of representation offered by the state in death penalty cases. The opinion stated, "Alabama sets low eligibility requirements for lawyers appointed to represent indigent capital defendants at trial…. Appointed counsel need only be a member of the Alabama bar and have 'five years' prior experience in the active practice of criminal law.' Experience with capital cases is not required." Justice Ginsburg also noted that Alabama is nearly alone in not guaranteeing representation in post-conviction proceedings, electing instead "to rely on the efforts of well-funded [out-of-state] volunteers." Finally, the opinion emphasized that appointed counsel in death penalty cases are severely under compensated by the state: "Although death penalty litigation is plainly time intensive, the State capped at $1,000 fees recoverable by capital defense attorneys for out-of- court work. Even today, court-appointed attorneys receive only $70 per hour." The Court finally noted that "On occasion, some prisoners sentenced to death receive no postconviction representation at all." Maples's underlying claim, which he was prevented from appealing because his absent lawyers missed the deadline, was that he received ineffective representation at trial. Neither of his trial counsel had ever tried the penalty phase of a capital case.
On January 18, the U.S. Supreme Court (7-2) ordered a new hearing in federal court for Cory Maples, an Alabama death row inmate whose state and federal appeals had been rejected by lower courts because his lawyers quit and missed a critical filing deadline. Copies of an Alabama court ruling in Maples's case were sent to a volunteer New York law firm handling his appeals but were unopened by the mailroom and returned to the state court because the attorneys representing Maples had left the firm. Justice Samuel Alito, concurring in the Court's opinion, wrote that the circumstances surrounding this case created a "veritable perfect storm of misfortune." On behalf of the majority, Justice Ruth Ginsburg wrote, "Maples was disarmed by extraordinary circumstances quite beyond his control. He has shown ample cause, we hold, to excuse the procedural default into which he was trapped when counsel of record abandoned him without a word of warning."
The latest edition of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund's "Death Row USA" showed a decrease of 29 inmates in the death row population between January 1 and April 1, 2011. The total population of state and federal death rows is significantly smaller now (3,222 inmates) than in 2000 (3,682 inmates). The size of death row is affected by the number of death sentences, the number of executions, and the number of sentence reversals. Nationally, the racial composition of those on death row is 44% white, 42% black, and 12% Latino/Latina. California continues to have the largest death row population (717), followed by Florida (400), Texas (321), Pennsylvania (219), and Alabama (206). Neither California nor Pennsylvania have carried out an execution in the past six years. The report also contains information on the race and gender of the victims in the underlying murders for those executed and an overview of recent legal developments related to capital punishment.

Yes, it's a complete and utter gimmick, but I somehow found myself forking over the admission fee and crammed into an elevator en route to the top of the Eiffel Tower. The view of Paris was magnificent. During my time there this trip, the sun rarely emerged, and Paris was a vision of drizzly gray. But from the top of the tower, Paris glittered. Literally.
As a city girl, I get strangely emotional when confronted with panoramic aerial city views. The last time I was on my rooftop in New York. The time before that on the Las Vegas Strip at sunrise. Each time, the world gets quiet. And there's just me, the limitless sky, and the city, a tame beast from that high up. The stillness is enlightening, gut-wrenchingly clarifying. The type of terrifying that makes you go "Hey Paris, so you ate my phone. I still love you."Or something like that.
Enjoy the pictures after the jump. Next post will be on Singapore, where I currently am enjoying a nice break from the winter chills of Europe. :]

Deonte Burton scored a game-high 23 points and moved past Marcelus Kemp into second on Nevada's career scoring list.
Feb. 05, 2014
LOGAN, Utah (AP) - Spencer Butterfield scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as Utah State broke a five-game losing streak by beating Nevada 83-75 Wednesday night.
Jarred Shaw scored 17 points and had 13 rebounds for the Aggies (13-9, 3-7 Mountain West Conference). Preston Medlin added 14, all in the second half, and Kyle Davis had 12.
The Wolf Pack (12-11, 7-3 MWC), who came in holding sole possession of third place in conference, were led by Deonte Burton with 23 points and Cole Huff with 21.
A 3-point shot by Jerry Evans brought Nevada to within two points, 52-50, with 9:10 to play, but 3-point shots by Medlin and Butterfield helped Utah State stretch its lead back to 72-60 with 2:55 remaining, and USU hit 7 of 8 free throws in the final minutes to seal the win.
USU shot 61.5 percent from the field in the second half, while Nevada was held to 44 percent. The Wolf Pack were only 5-of-20 from 3-point range. There were 50 free throws in the game, with USU hitting 25-of-31.
Nevada led almost the entire first half, leading 21-13 with 6:10 to play. In the closing minutes of the opening half, though, Davis hit four free throws and Butterfield knocked down a 3-point shot to give USU a 28-27 lead at halftime. Butterfield led all players with eight points at intermission.
The Aggies five-game losing streak was coach Stew Morrill's longest in 16 years at Utah State. Nevada had beaten Utah State in the last three meetings, including a 62-54 victory Jan. 11 in Reno. This is the Aggies first season in the Mountain West, where they are tied for second-to-last with Fresno State, which beat Air Force on Wednesday.
Nevada men's basketball postgame notes
Nevada is 12-11 overall and 7-3 in the Mountain West falling 83-75 at Utah State (13-9, 3-7 MW) tonight.
Nevada plays at #5 San Diego State (20-1, 9-0 MW) on Saturday at 7 p.m. The Aztecs won 67-65 at Boise State tonight. Saturday's game will air on ESPN3.
Senior guard Deonte Burton scored a game-high 23 points and moved past Marcelus Kemp (2004-08) into second on Nevada's career scoring list. Burton has 1,944 career points and Kemp totaled 1,935 during his career.
Burton led the Pack in scoring for the 17th time, scored over 20 points for the 13th time and posted a game-high for the 12th time this season.
Sophomore Cole Huff finished with 21 points marking just his second game of 20 or more points in his career. The other game was a career-high 31 earlier this season at Fresno State.
Junior Michael Perez scored in double figures for the 14th time and snapped a two-game stretch of not reaching double figures.
Senior guard Jerry Evans, Jr. had his five-game streak of scoring in double figures snapped as he finished with seven points. It's the second time this season he scored double figures in five consecutive games which is the longest streak of his career.
Junior forward Ronnie Stevens, Jr. made his first appearances after missing 12 games with a stress fracture that required surgery. Stevens played 14 minutes and had three rebounds.
Junior forward AJ West has four blocks in each of the last three games. West has five games this season with four or more blocks. He has a block in 11 of the 12 games in which he has played.
Head coach David Carter is 86-69 in his fifth season at Nevada.

NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets guard Deron Williams will have surgery next week on both ankles, which have plagued him the last two seasons.
The Nets say the surgery will take place Tuesday and be performed by team foot and ankle specialist Dr. Martin O'Malley.
O'Malley says Thursday in a statement that Williams will have a bone chip removed from his right ankle, and spurs will be removed from the front and back of the left ankle.
Williams missed 18 games this season, 16 because of a sprained left ankle, and was limited to 14.3 points and 6.1 assists per game. The former All-Star and two-time Olympian said the ankle problems affected his confidence and limited what he was able to do on the court.
