Guest: Kansas City Edit-A-Thon Aims To Close Gender Gap On Wikipedia By Lisa Rodriguez • Mar 27, 2015 Courtesy Photo / Paula Rose Gender representation at Wikipedia is well-documented. Studies conducted by the Wikimedia Foundation (which serves as Wikipedia's support structure) conclude that less than 15 percent of the popular online encyclopedia's contributors are female. According to Siko Bouterse, director of community resources at the Wikimedia Foundation, diversity among editors is vitally important to Wikipedia's vision. "Our vision for Wikipedia is 'the sum of all human knowledge,'" she says. "We need everyone to contribute to that. The encyclopedia is incomplete without that." The lack of female editors has significant repercussions on the encyclopedia's content. Pages on women's health, women's issues, and famous women artists tend to be mere paragraphs long, or as Wikipedians say, "stubs," if they even exist at all. Wikipedia's Gender Gap By Steve Kraske & Lisa Rodriguez • Mar 25, 2015 Wikipedia's gender trouble is well-documented.

VCY America Joins JC Penney Boycott, Upset Spokesman Ellen DeGeneres is a 'Flaming Homosexual'
The American Family Association's division OneMillionMoms is receiving help on its campaign to compel JC Penney to fire Ellen DeGeneres as the retailer's spokesperson because she is a openly gay. Vic Eliason, the host of Voice of Christian Youth America's flagship program Crosstalk, today encouraged listeners to stop shopping at JC Penney and also to boycott Starbucks because of the coffee company's support of a marriage equality bill in Washington. Eliason said that people are "letting Sodom and Gomorrah come walking in the door" and bring in a "corruption that is literally putrefying our families." "Does it offend you," Eliason asked, when retailers are "putting icons before you and your kids who are known, and according to some, flaming homosexuals?"
Does it offend you? Are you offended by this or are you kind of just 'ho hum, so be it'? There comes a time when there needs to be a holy rejection of corruption that is literally putrefying our families. It's time, long overdue, and too many people are sitting back and just letting Sodom and Gomorrah come walking in the door. Walking in the door? Good grief, it's already in the door, you can't even turn your TV set on without being slammed in the face with some commercial with anything from body parts to who knows what all, personal products and things of a nature that weren't even considered appropriate to be parading in front of our little kids. Now little kids in the first and the second and the third grade are being trained to know that being gay is O.K. and we don't want to say anything bad about that because that would be bullying.
Does it offend you, when you hear what retailers now—putting icons before you and your kids who are known, and according to some, flaming homosexuals?

1. Field of the Invention
The invention concerns electromagnetic lumped constant delay lines.
Electromagnetic delay lines are quadripoles; the purpose of which is to delay the signals applied to their input by a constant period. They are set by the series connection of several elementary networks comprising a self-inductance constant and a capacitive constant. For electromagnetic delay lines with localized constants, these constants are those of discrete components (inductances and capacitors) connected to one another in different ways (K constant network, derived m network, etc.). The choice of the type of network used is laid down by the performance characteristics to be obtained and by the ease and cost of manufacture.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The ideal characteristics expected of a delay line comprise a constant weakening, as a function of the frequency of the injected signal, which is also a minimal weakening, a constant propagation time as a function of frequency and a constant phase shift, again as a function of frequency.
The so-called constant K network cannot be used except in a range of frequencies far below the cut-off frequency of the quadripole forming the network, namely practically down to a frequency equal to 0.15 times the cut-off frequency if it is sought to preserve a constant delay to within 1%.
On the basis of the constant K network, it is possible to define the two sorts of derived networks called derived m networks: series derived networks and parallel derived networks.
A derived m network has the advantage, as compared with a constant K network, of having a low variation in the delay as a function of the frequency, for values of m close to 1.275. For this value, the delay remains constant, to within 1%, up to a frequency equal to 0.55 times the cut-off frequency. This enables the derived m network to be used in a range of frequency which is 3.6 times wider than for the constant K network. The characteristic impedance shows, for the values of m close to 0.6, a relative variation of less than 5% in the frequency range extending from 0 to 0.85 times the cut-off frequency.
The m network thus enables two important results to be obtained: the smoothing of the delay curve (for m=1.275) and the smoothing of the characteristic impedance curve (for m=0.6). To have a delay line possessing both these characteristics, derived m networks with m=1.275 will be cascade-connected with, at the ends of the cascade, two m half networks with m=0.6.
There are several known ways of making delay lines of this type. These delay lines are differentiated by the method of coiling the chokes.
The chokes can be wound in the form of a solenoid on a cylindrical rod. However, in certain cases (the case of a low or high inductance value), this may lead to unacceptable coiling dimensions or to an excessively high resistive value of the inductance. One way of coping with this problem is to do the coiling on a magnetic support with grooves designed to take the windings. The goal sought is generally achieved, but the coiling is still difficult and expensive. It is also possible to use separate magnetic supports (rings, bars or pulleys) sufficiently spaced out between one another to prevent mutual inductance and each coiled with an intermediate connector. This embodiment has the advantage of giving the designer total liberty as regards the geometrical arrangement of the coils. However, the fabrication of the inductances is very delicate and costly. Besides, the series arrangement of the mutually coupled coils raises problems related to the amount of space occupied by the delay line thus made when their number is great. The component thus obtained is very long and unnecessarily too narrow. It becomes impossible to implant it in a printed card. It is then preferred to arrange the coils on two parallel magnetic rods in order to reduce the longitudinal space factor.
The electromagnetic delay line may then be fabricated in a DIL (dual in-line) package. The total space factor is not excessive, and the pin unit used (DIL 16 for example) is universal. However, the passage from one magnetic bar to another magnetic bar causes a break in coupling. It follows therefrom that the electromagnetic delay thus formed is actually a set of two sections of delay lines, cascaded without any special precautions. This series connection of two electromagnetic delay lines which, are efficient when used alone, include the drawbacks of a break in impedance at the link between two sections, causing stray reflections and distortions, an undulation of the delay curve and inequality in the spans of the intermediate delays.
The previously mentioned defects concerning the series connection of electromagnetic delay lines, comprising several sections, are encountered whenever it is attempted to cascade several, individually efficient, electromagnetic delay lines. While these defects can be tolerated in many instances of standard use, they are strictly unacceptable for specific applications where evenness of the amplitude/frequency, delay/frequency and impedance/frequency responses is indispensable (for example in medical echography).
In order to overcome these drawbacks, the invention proposes an electromagnetic lumped constant delay line with using networks of the derived m type and made in the form of several cascaded sections, without coupling breaks between networks. The delay line according to the invention can be prepared on a printed circuit or on any other substrate, without any coupling break between the networks within one and the same delay line, nor any coupling break with the networks of the input and output ends of the line.
An object of the invention, therefore, is an electromagnetic delay line of the type with localized constants, formed by a cascade of derived m networks, said network comprising capacitors and chokes, wherein the chokes are placed along a line which is turned back, i.e., a folded line, the chokes of two consecutive networks being separated by a distance determined to obtain the desired parameter m, two non-neighboring chokes being separated by a distance which is enough to make their coupling negligible.
The invention will be better understood and other advantages will appear from the following description, given as a non-restrictive example, and from the appended drawings, of which:
FIG. 1 is an electrical diagram of an electromagnetic delay line according to the prior art;
FIG. 2 illustrates a standard arrangement of an electromagnetic delay line in a DIL16 package;
FIG. 3 shows a coiling support;
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram relating to the method of making of the coils;
FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 illustrate arrangements to be used to place the chokes of an electromagnetic delay line according to the invention;
FIGS. 8 and 9 show top and bottom views of a delay line section according to the invention;
FIG. 10 illustrates a method for automatically coiling the chokes of a delay line according to the invention.
FIG. 1 is a diagram of a prior art electromagnetic delay line using derived m type networks. It has a number n of π networks.
The delay line corresponding to the n networks comprises n inductances L coupled in twos, consecutively, and n+1 capacitors. The capacitors placed between two coupled inductances have a value of 2C. Intermediate delay connectors may be made at the output of each network. Each of the inductances L is coupled to the next one depending on the degree of coupling desired: for example, k=11.9% to obtain m=1.275. To make the two half networks as input sections and output sections, with m=0.6, designed to smooth the characteristic impedance curve as a function of frequency, the indicated assembly is set up with an inductance having a value of 0.3 L and a capacitor having a value of 1.068 C placed in parallel with this inductance. The inductances of these two half networks should not be coupled to the adjacent inductances. The capacitors of the interface networks between the half networks and the adjacent π networks should have a value of 1.6 C. As stated further above, the inductances may be coiled in the form of a solenoid on a cylindrical rod made of a non-magnetic material, for example, glass.
FIG. 2 shows a very standard arrangement of an electromagnetic delay line in a DIL16 package, using twelve networks. The package 1, made of transfer molded epoxy resin for example, has 16 external connections, such as those shown under reference 2. They are connected internally to 12 networks, arranged in parallel to the 12 rows of connections. The input of the electromagnetic delay line is accessible through the connection 3. Its main output corresponds to the connection 4. The common ground is accessible through the connections 5 and 6. Intermediate connections correspond to the connections 7. This very well known configuration can be used to make an electromagnetic delay line using derived m type networks. The chokes are wound on two rods 8 and 9, symbolically represented by broken lines. The main drawback of this delay line is formed by the linking point between the sixth and seventh networks, when the coil wire leaves one rod to get coiled on the other one. The magnetic coupling, according to the required coupling coefficient k 11.9%, is no longer ensured. It follows that the electromagnetic delay line thus formed is actually a set of two sections of delay lines, cascaded without any special precautions.
The invention enables the making of electromagnetic delay lines, the networks of which are cascade connected, for example on a printed circuit card, without any break in coupling between the networks within one and the same delay line, nor any coupling break with the end half networks of the input and output sections.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention, coil supports, preferably made of magnetic material, are used. FIG. 3 shows a pulley-shaped coil support 10. This pulley, shown with a circular section, may also have other shapes: square, rectangular, hexagonal, etc. It has a groove 11 in which the coiling will be done between the two flanges 12.
FIG. 4 shows a row of pulleys 10, in front and top views, having a pre-defined and constant distance d between their centers. The sign of the coupling coefficient k between two coils depends on the winding direction. To obtain a positive coupling, the coiling will be done in the way shown in FIG. 4, where an indication is given of the direction in which the wire should be coiled for the magnetic field force lines to have the configuration shown with broken lines. It is seen that the direction of the windings should be alternated in going from one coil to the next one. The value of the coupling coefficient k (11.9% for example) can be obtained experimentally by measuring the equivalent self-inductance value corresponding to two coupled coils. The distance d between two consecutive coils is thus determined.
Once the distance d is known, it is enough to fix the coils at the required intervals. FIG. 5 shows, from a top view, an insulating support or a substrate (printed circuit, alumina) 15 on which coiling pulleys 10 have been arranged. The pulleys are placed along a line 16 (drawn with dots and dashes), two consecutive pulleys on the line 16 being separated by the distance d . It is noted that, in this particular case, the line 16 is shaped like a reclining U. The pulleys located at the base of the U lying along the arc forming the base enable the continuity of the coupling to be ensured throughout the length of the delay line.
If FIGS. 2 (according to the prior art) and 5 (according to the invention) are compared, it may be seen that there are two sections. According to FIG. 2, one section is determined by a rod 8 or 9 and, therefore, for these devices, there are two sections with a break in coupling between these sections. According to FIG. 5, the future delay line will also have two sections, each section being an arm of the U but, in this case, there is no break in coupling.
It is advantageous to place, at the input and output sections of the delay line, two half networks with m=0.6, designed to smooth the impedance/frequency curve. To do this, the pulley can be moved away from these adjacent half networks so as to uncouple them. They can also be made to lie on the substrate so as to orient their magnetic fields by 90� with respect to the magnetic fields of the other networks, as shown in FIG. 6. In this figure, where the same references as those of FIG. 5 are repeated for the same elements, the pulleys 17 and 18, designed to receive the windings of the chokes of the input and output networks, are made to lie on the substrate 15.
FIGS. 5 and 6 refer to a delay line which should comprise 12 derived m networks and which is formed by two sections of six networks, cascaded without any variation in the degree of coupling between the input and the output. The invention can be applied to any number of networks. Similarly, there may be any number of coils providing for the junction of the base of the U, but at least one is necessary. Two rows of coils, spaced out only by a distance equal to d would have undesirable stray couplings which would be harmful to operation. The number of sections thus coupled is not limited.
FIG. 7 refers to an electromagnetic delay line according to an embodiment of the invention. In this figure, only the substrate 20 (seen from the top) and the pulleys 21, which will support the coils, have been shown. The substrate can be demarcated into six sections (separated by broken lines in the figure), each comprising six derived m networks, giving 36 networks coupled without any break in coupling. The substrate 20 may consist of only one part or may be formed by the association of six modules corresponding to the sections. Other combinations are also possible (two supports of 18 networks etc. . .). The essential point consists of the arrangement of the pulleys 21 along an imaginary line 22, shown in dots and dashes, with the pulleys following one another along this line at intervals d corresponding to the desired coupling. The line 22 has been conceived in order to meet two conditions: to place a great number of networks in a limited space and to make the couplings between non-neighboring chokes negligible. To obtain the delay line, it would be necessary then to coil the pulleys, arrange the capacitors and make the electrical connections.
Once the wiring between the different elements of the delay line (chokes, capacitors, input connections, output connections, ground connections and, possibly, intermediate output connections) has been made, the substrate 20 can be placed in a package and molded in a non-magnetic material (plastic, epoxy resin) so as to let the magnetic coupling take effect freely between the connecting networks.
By way of an example, we shall describe a method for the making and wiring of an electromagnetic delay line according to the invention. We shall consider a case where one and the same module supports two sections.
FIGS. 8 and 9 show top and bottom views of a module of this type. On one face of a substrate 30 (see FIG. 8), pulleys 31 have been fixed. These pulleys 31 are designed to support the coil. These pulleys are arranged along a line 32, shown in dots and dashes and repeating the pattern of FIG. 7. An enamelled conducting wire 33 is coiled on the pulleys 31, now in one direction and then in the other direction, as shown by the arrows drawn on the coil. Between each pulley, the wire is brought to the other face of the substrate to be soldered thereon and thus have an electrical contact Notches 34 are arranged on the periphery of the substrate 30 to make it easy for the wire 33 to be carried onto the other face. The substrate is also pierced with three holes 35 which will permit the passage of pins designed to provide for the electrical connections (input, output, ground). On the other face of the substrate 30 (see FIG. 9), the cross-hatched zones represent metallizations. The metallization 36 is a ground metallization. The metallizations 37, 38 and 39 will provide for the electronic links between the coils (the wire 33 is soldered, at intervals, to these metallizations) and the capacitors 40 and 41. In the example chosen, the capacitors 41 may have a value which is half that of the capacitors 40 according to the arrangement of the module in all the modules (end module or intermediate module). For, in certain cases, two capacitors 41 may be in parallel, and then their values are combined. Furthermore, the metallizations 38 and 39 should provide for the input and output connections of the module. In FIG. 9, the coiling wire (reference 33 in FIG. 8) has not been shown. In fact, it is carried over by the notches 34 and is soldered at intervals to the metallizations 37, 38 and 39.
The pulleys can be fixed to their substrate by bonding. A spot of bonder (UV polymerizable epoxy-epoxy resin, cyanoacrylate) can be deposited on the substrate by means of a funnel, a silk screen or, preferably, an automatic x, y, z transfer machine of the "pick and place" type. The same type of machine, or a template provided with appropriate holes, is used to place the pulleys in their position. Polymerization under infrared tunnel, oven or, preferably, by ultra-violet radiation, causes the pulleys to be firmly fixed to the substrate.
To coil the pulleys, the substrate can be placed on a table that can move along two axes x, y, according to a digital program. FIG. 10 illustrates this procedure. To simplify the drawing, only one pulley 50 has been shown on the substrate 51. For the same reason, only the two notches 52 and 53, which are on either side of the pulley 50, have been shown. The table 54 has guiding studs 55, which are inserted in the already mentioned three holes of the substrate and which will subsequently receive pins. Thus, the position of the pulleys with respect to the flier 56 is well defined. The flier 56 can be shifted in the vertical direction z and can rotate in both directions around this axis z. The flier 56 has a part 57, shaped like a hollow crank handle, into which slips the coil wire 58, coming from a coil 59. The wire 58 is guided by pulleys 60 and is accurately tautened by a standard device 61. Prior to the coiling operation, by the suitable motion of the moving table 54 along the directions x and y, and of the flier 56 in the direction z, the wire is brought behind the hook 62, and then the table brings the axis of the concerned pulley vertical to the flier 56, which is made to rotate in the desired direction to achieve the coiling of this pulley. A number of turns are made. The coil wire 58 is thus wound round the pulley 50 before it is again made to go behind the hook 63. This sequence of operations is repeated for the other pulleys.
At the end of the program for coiling the pulleys, the hooks such as 62 and 63 are made to rotate in order to twist the portions of wire that are hooked to them. The hooks are provided with cutting edges, which section and release the twists of wire at the end of the operation.
The substrate fitted with these coiled pulleys is put in a "pick and place" type of transfer machine which enables the positioning of chip type capacitors (capacitors 40 and 41 of FIG. 9) on that face of the substrate which is opposite to the one supporting the pulley. The machine provides for the soldering of the electrodes of the capacitors to the metallization of the substrate. The notches arranged at the periphery of the substrate enable the twists of wire to be turned back towards the metallized face of the substrate. These twists, after hot tinning for example, are soldered to the locations reserved for them.
The process of preparing a delay line by the association of identical sections has the advantage of making it possible to eliminate the defective sections before association. It is less costly to reject a section of 12 defective networks than to eliminate, for the same reason, a finished assembly comprising 120 networks. This possibility of intermediate checking is a major advantage of the invention as compared with the prior art. The assembly and relative mutual positioning of the sections, made in this way and checked on a main support, may be done by nail type connectors or connection pins in the insertion holes (referenced 35 in FIGS. 8 and 9). Through soldering spots, these nails or pins fulfill a dual mechanical and electrical function. They provide access to the input and output of the delay line as well as intermediate delay connections.
Before molding by epoxy resin casting for example, another electrical check can be made. Once the casting is done, the resin can be polymerized in a stove.
The use of chokes, other than those obtained by coiling a wire on a support, comes within the scope of this invention. Self-inductance coils obtained by metallizations deposited on a substrate and made by etching, for example, would also be suitable, provided that the planned distance between two successive chokes and the minimum distance between non-neighboring chokes is maintained.
If it is desired to place two half networks with m=0.6 at the beginning and end of the delay line, to smooth the curve of the characteristic impedance, the delay line can be designed according to the diagram of FIG. 1. The half networks may be placed in the first section and the last section by using the arrangement described with reference to FIG. 6.

• "Moving Forward" This has been an exciting year for investors, but in a bad way: higher volatility without much return. Some of that comes from political developments, which, says Michael Wilson, chief investment officer of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, are difficult to analyze from an investment standpoint. Still, economics can be quantified, and Wilson notes that global growth likely bottomed months ago and important indicators are pointing upward.
• "Beyond the Brexit Vote" UK voters surprised pundits and shocked financial markets when they voted to leave the European Union. While breaking away could take years, the markets typically don't like such uncertainty.
• "Financials—A Catch-Up Value Opportunity" Value stocks have been ascendant this year, but financials—the largest sector in the value indexes—so far have not participated. However, in our view, the stage is now being set.

Lord Heseltine signalled yesterday that he will not share a platform with Tony Blair to secure a "yes" vote in the referendum because of the Prime Minister's policy on Iraq.
The Tory former deputy prime minister said that he would do what he could to help as an individual but he suggested that he was not ready to campaign alongside Mr Blair.
His apparent decision is a blow to the Yes camp, which had hoped for a broad coalition with Lord Heseltine, one of the key figures in any cross-party publicity stunts.
Lord Heseltine said that there had been "no decision about that" but added: "Because I have such doubts about the Prime Minister's policy on Iraq and the unanswered questions about how we got into this mess in the first place, my position has been very much more detached from that of the Government on the European issue. Iraq has changed the basis of trust."
The leading pro-European Tory strongly criticised Mr Blair for calling the referendum and then putting it off until after the next general election. "Tony Blair should get on with it," he said. "I simply do not understand his tactics. He should put it to Parliament in the same time-scale as other European countries."
Lord Heseltine warned that the battle would be tougher for the Government to win than the referendum on continued British membership of the Common Market in 1975. He said that the damage to the pro-European cause had already been done.
In a downbeat assessment of the Yes campaign's chances, Lord Heseltine said a win was "not impossible", but it would be difficult to turn the tide of public opinion, which had become increasingly distrustful of Brussels.
"The debate will not be about the detail of the constitution," he said. "It will be about arguments which characterise the No campaign. These are misleading, if not positively inaccurate. I think the damage has already been done.
"The state of public opinion is very volatile. Nobody can predict what will happen and nobody can predict the turnout. Last time there was a referendum we won from a hostile position in 1975. Last time the major parties were split. I think it probably is tougher this time. Not impossible."
Lord Heseltine urged Michael Howard not to share a platform with the UK Independence Party in opposing the constitution. John Redwood, the former Welsh Secretary, said that he and other Tories would share a platform with UKIP as it was "all hands to the wheel".
Lord Heseltine said: "I would very much regret such a decision. I cannot conceive of Michael sharing a platform with UKIP. He has made it very clear that he doesn't support their views."
He warned of significant splits in the Conservative party when the campaigning begins in earnest. "The colleagues that I have, they would do what they believe to be right. I'm sure Michael would have the sense to acknowledge that.
"The problem for the Conservative Party is to recognise that there is a very substantial body of people who are pro-European because they think it is in British interests and they will not support a eurosceptic Conservative Party.
"I meet these people all the time and they are in despair about the way in which the party in the past few years has abandoned everything that Conservative prime ministers worked for."
He added: "I think every Conservative prime minister since Harold Macmillan would have been able to sign this constitution."

Nationwide protest against the Federal Reserve Banks and System and for sound money.
The Federal Reserve is NOT a government entity and is responsible for the nation's economic boom and bust cycle (e.g. the housing market bubble followed by it's collapse), for inflation which is essentially a tax on the poor and middle classes, for funding unconstitutional and unjust wars, and for the current economic crisis. YOUR hard-earned federal income tax dollars go to pay the interest on the federal government's debt to a PRIVATELY owned bank (the Fed!), which then PROFITS from YOUR loss.
Please join us in front of the Pittsburgh Federal Reserve Building Downtown to educate the public about the Fed and gain support for Texas Rep. Ron Paul's HR 1207: The Federal Reserve Transparency Act to audit the Fed (Senate version is S 604: The Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009, introduced by VT Sen. Bernie Sanders) and Rep. Paul's HR 833: The Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act.
Participants can meet up at the Fed at Noon, or alternatively, meet at 11:30AM at St Stanislaus Kostka Church in The Strip, Pittsburgh's historic shopping district, where parking space is cheaper and more plentiful than in Downtown, and then march to the Fed Bldg to meet others, while distributing literature about the Federal Reserve and information on HR 1207/S 604 and HR 833 to shoppers. See: http://www.meetup.com...
*See DaveP's comment below for tentative plan after everyone has arrived at the Fed Bldg*
Some ideas for sign slogans:
"The Federal Reserve is the problem, not the solution"
"The Federal Reserve causes the boom and bust economy"
"The Federal Reserve causes the recession/depressions"
"The Fed in NOT part of the Federal government"
"No more Bailouts"
"No More Bailouts for Bankers"
"The Fed = Debt"
"The Fed = Personal AND National Debt"
"The Fed = Financial Slavery"
"End the Fed, End War"
"Fed Inflation = Worthless Money"
"Inflation = Taxation"
"Fed Money is Debt"
"Paper is Paper, Gold is Money"
"End Monetized Debt"
"Audit the Fed, Support HR 1207-Call Your Congressman NOW!"
"Repeal the Fed, Support HR 833 -Call Your Congressman NOW!"
"Abort the Fed, Support Prosperity"
"Abort the Fed, Support Liberty"
"Your Children Will Pay the Price!"

Thank you and let's have a great day and a peaceful event!!

Video of our first End The Fed protest here in Pittsburgh:
It was a little bit better than the last one in terms of turn out and handing out dvds/info although I'm hoping the next one we can possibly double our attendance.

Depending on traffic (downtown might well be deserted) and how many people show up we'll protest for a half hour to an hour and then march back up through the Strip and/or split up and go to the business districts in town, Oakland, Shadyside, South Side, Bloomfield and make a pass down both sides of the street (4 people per team at least)...I think this would be a better use of everyone's time than waving signs on an empty street.
We do need more signs though...
See you all there!

Commuter-Friendly Levi's Collection Hits Shops This Week!
With the popularity of urban biking rising by the moment (read all about it, from Public Bikes' papa, here!), Levi's is introducing new gear aimed specifically for two-wheel commuters. Starting this week, two new garments—the Levi's 511 Commuter Skinny and Commuter Trucker Jacket—hit stores. Created under the brand-new Commuter by Levi's umbrella, the new $78 skinny jean is based off of one of Levi's most popular fits for men, but is upgraded with a little extra stretch, more durable and dirt-and-water-resistant fabrication, and a better, bike-friendlier fit (less lower-back gap, a reinforced crotch, double-layer back pockets, etc.). The jeans will come in a full length and cropped version, as well as denim and non-denim, and will also feature a new hygiene property (developed with tech experts Clariant) to cut down on odor from riding-induced sweat. 3M Scotchlite fabric will also be woven into the pieces to make them extra reflective and safe for late night pedaling. The $128 Commuter version of the iconic Trucker Jacket will have similar features as the jeans, but will mostly be altered in the cut and the addition of a strategically placed iPod pocket, accordion-like sleeves perfect for riding stance, among other improvements. Are you ready to ride? Hit the big Levi's shop in Union Square this week to try the new gear out. And be on the lookout for the goods at select Urban Outfitters come August. Now, if only they'd make the same collection for the ladies!
Levi's, 300 Post Street (at Stockton Street); 415-501-0100.
The Commuter Skinnies comes with a utility waist band designed to store your bike lock.

NBC has officially ordered a pilot for "Cruel Intentions," a sequel series to Roger Kumble's original 1999 film of the same name, according to Variety.
Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon and Selma Blair, the original was a modern take on the 1782 novel "Les Liaisons dangereuses." A box-office success, it inspired a direct-to-video prequel and sequel.
According to an earlier report, the TV update will center on Bash Casey, the 16-year-old son of the late Sebastian Valmont (played by Phillppe in the 1999 film) and Annette Hargrove (played by Witherspoon). When he discovers his late father's journal, Bash learns about the family legacy, and in his search for answers trades life in small-town Kansas for a scholarship to the prestigious Brighton Preparatory Academy in San Francisco.
Kumble is on board to direct the pilot and co-write with Lindsey Rosin and Jordan Ross, who were behind behind this summer's "Cruel Intentions Musical" in Los Angeles. The project hails from Sony Television.
NBC never learns. A sequel to a not so great movie? This will be dead on arrival.
I'm on board if it's at least as dark as the movie. I love stories about really terrible people. The synopsis doesn't really hint at anything at all, but let's see how this goes.

|Danny Jacobsey (m. 2008)
|Official website
Samuel Kent "Sam" Harris (born June 4, 1961) is an American pop and theater musician as well as a television, theater and film actor.
Harris got his start as the grand champion singer of Star Search in its premiere season in 1983. He gained acclaim and became best known for his winning rendition of the song "Over the Rainbow" on the show.[1][2][3][4][5] "Over the Rainbow" has since become his signature song.[6] His appearance on Star Search led to him landing a contract with Motown Records. His first single, "Sugar Don't Bite," was a Top 40 hit, reaching #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in November 1984.[7] He is a multi-million selling recording artist with nine studio albums to his credit. He can also be heard on numerous concert, guest artist, and cast recordings. He has toured extensively in concert and has played to sold-out audiences at major venues including New York's Carnegie Hall, Los Angeles' Universal Amphitheatre, and London's West End. He has appeared with the Boston Pops Orchestra, at the White House, and has sung on a variety of television specials and live productions. On February 12, 2008, he released a new single entitled "War on War" that became an Internet phenomenon with music videos made by the general public. The song became a part of his album, Free, which was released that summer. The single "Change Is On The Way" was written to support the Obama campaign and was heard on numerous television shows and behind Internet videos around the time of the election. In 2010, Sam wrote and released "My Reclamation," which has become an anthem for marriage equality.[8]
On Broadway, he received a Drama Desk nomination for his role in the Tommy Tune-directed revival of Grease, and a Drama League Award as well as Tony, Outer Critic's Circle and Drama Desk Award nominations for his work in Cy Coleman's Tony nominated musical The Life. He's also appeared on Broadway in Mel Brooks' Tony Award winning musical The Producers, in the national tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and in the musicals Jesus Christ Superstar, Cabaret, Hair, and Pippin. He also starred in the self-penned shows Hardcopy, Different Hats, Revival and the critically acclaimed SAM. Harris' most recent theatrical outing was the film-to-musical adaptation of The First Wives Club seen in a limited run at San Diego's the Old Globe Theatre in the summer of 2009.
Harris has appeared in three feature films to date: In the Weeds (2000, as Jonathan), the documentary Little Man (2005, as himself) and Elena Undone (2010, as Tyler).
Harris co-created the television series Down to Earth (1984, which ran for four years and 104 episodes). He was a series regular on The Class (2006-2007 - Perry Pearl). Harris is also credited on Rules of Engagement (Jackie, recurring, 2009), The Wayne Brady Show (2003 - Actor, one episode) and the Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration (2001, music supervisor). He has also appeared on numerous talk shows including The Rosie O'Donnell Show (1997 and 2000 - three episodes), The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1994 - one episode), Brunch as a co-host (2006 - one episode), The Oprah Winfrey Show (1997 and 2001 - two episodes), Dr. Phil's 500th episode (2005), The View (2007 - one episode), The Tyra Banks Show (2010), The Dr. Drew Show (2011).[9]
In 2014, Harris turned his collection of autobiographical essays and stories which he had written into a book which was published as Ham (Slices of a Life).[10]
Personal life[edit]
Harris and Danny Jacobsen, who is a director and presentation coach for numerous blue-chip companies and also a film producer,[11] have been together since 1994. They adopted a son, Cooper Atticus Harris-Jacobsen, in April 2008, and the couple married on November 1, 2008.
Harris disclosed, in an interview he gave to The Advocate in 2004, that he is a recovering alcoholic.
