When the Clinton campaign started bitching about Russia interfering in US elections by hacking into the DNC I was struck by their excesses of outrage and the virtual absence of any acknowledgement that the United States has been interfering in dozens of foreign elections for decades with no apparent second thoughts.
CNN and other media brought one national security expert after another to mount various cases against Putin and the Kremlin, and to insist that Russia is up to similar mischief in relation to the upcoming French elections. And never do they dare discuss whether such interference is a rule of the game, similar to espionage, or whether what was alleged to have been done by the Russians might lead the US political leaders and its intelligence agencies to reconsider its own reliance on such tactics to help sway foreign elections.
Is this selective perception merely one more instance of American exceptionalism? We can hack away, but our elections and sovereign space are hallowed ground, which if encroached upon, should be resisted by all possible means. It is one thing to argue that democracy and political freedom are jeopardized by such interference as is being attributed to Moscow, and if their behavior influenced the outcome, it makes Russia responsible for a disaster not only in the United States but in the world.
The disaster is named Trump. Assuming this Russian engagement by way of what they evidently call 'active measures' occurred is, first of all, an empirical matter of gathering evidence and reaching persuasive conclusions. Assuming the allegations are to some extent validated, it hardly matters whether by what means the interference was accomplished, whether done by cyber technology, electronic eavesdropping, dirty tricks, secret financial contributions, or otherwise.
What is diversionary and misleading is to foster the impression that the Russians breached solemn rules of international law by disrupting American democracy and doing their best to get Trump elected or weaken the Clinton presidency should she have been elected. The integrity of American democratic procedures may have been seriously compromised, and this is deeply regrettable and should be remedied to the extent possible, but whatever happened should not be greeted with shock and consternation as if some inviolate international red line had been provocatively crossed.
(1) what can we do to increase cyber defenses to prevent future intrusions, and restore domestic confidence that elections in the United States reflect the unimpeded will of the citizenry and are not the result of machinations by outsiders?
(2) do we possess the means to ascertain the impact of such intrusions on the outcome of the 2016 national elections, and if such investigation points beyond a reasonable doubt to the conclusion that without the intrusion Clinton would have won, should that void the result, and impose on Congress the duty to arrange for a new emergency electoral procedure for selecting a president free from taint (especially if the Trump campaign aided and abetted the Russian intrusion)?
(3) are there ways to bolster norms against interventions in the internal affairs of sovereign states that offer protection against such interference? Note that giving convincing answers to these questions is not a simple matter, and requires serious reflection and debate.
To illustrate the moral and political complexity we can consider the core dilemma that is present for a government with a dog in the fight. Suppose the Kremlin had reason to believe that a Clinton presidency would lead to a new cold war, would it not have been reasonable, and even responsible, for Russians leaders to support Trump, and if the situation were reversed, shouldn't the US do all it can do to avoid the election of a belligerent Russian leader? Wouldn't millions of people have been thankful if Western interference in the German elections of 1933 were of sufficient magnitude to avoid the triumph of the National Socialist Party?
There are good and bad precedents arising from past international behavior, especially if established by important states by repeated action, that then empower others to act in a similar manner. Without governmental institutions to oversee political behavior, the development of international law proceeds by way of international practice. Thus when the United States claims the right to interfere and even engage in regime-changing interventions, we greatly weaken any objections when others do the same sort of thing. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. The logic of reciprocity contributes to a normative process that reflects international practice as much as it does international lawmaking treaties.
Some equally serious and worrisome parallel issues are raised by recent disclosures of serious cyber-attacks by the US Government on the North Korean nuclear program. The American media and government officialdom treat the conduct of cyber warfare against North Korea's nuclear program as something to be judged exclusively by its success or failure, not whether it's right or wrong, prudent or reckless. We interfered with the North Korean nuclear program without seeking authorization from the UN, and certainly without any willingness to tolerate reciprocal behavior by others that disrupted any of our nuclear activities.
It can be plausibly argued that North Korea and its wily leader, Kim Jong-un, are dangerous, reprehensible, and irresponsible, and that it is intolerable for such a government to possess nuclear weapons and long-range missiles. That such a circumstance creates a 'right of exception,' suspending international law and considerations of reciprocity, would seem a far more responsible way to proceed, preserving a sense that the US is normally respectful of and accountable to international law, but North Korea poses such a dire threat to humanity as to make all means of interference acceptable. But apparently so intoxicated by geopolitical hubris the thought never occurs to either our leaders or the compliant mainstream media that puts out its own version of 'fake news' night after night. It is instructive to realize how bipartisan is this disregard of the relevance of international law to a sustainable world order. These new disclosures relating to North Korea assert that Trump 'inherited' an ongoing cyber war program from Obama, who had in earlier years been unabashedly complicit with Israel's cyber efforts to disrupt Iran's nuclear program.
Does it serve the interests of the United States to set the rules of the game in international relations with respect to nuclear policy, making little pretense of being bound by the standards imposed on other sovereign states, especially those non-nuclear states accused of taking steps to acquire the weaponry? The tigers control the mice, and the idea of a rule of law that treats equals equally is completely foreign to the American mindset in the 21st century when it comes to the role of hard power, security policy, and grand strategy in international life, but interestingly, but much less so in the context of trade and investment. This distinction is worth pondering.
In other words when it comes to security policy and grand strategy, there are two basic rules of contemporary geopolitics that contravene the golden rule of ethical behavior:
Rule #1: Do not allow others to do unto you what you frequently do to others (the Russian hacking discourse);
Rule #2: Do unto other what you would never accept others doing unto you (cyber-attacks on Iran and North Korea).
It is arguable that this normative assymetry is the only way that world order can be sustained given the absence of world government, or even a strong enough UN to enact and implement common behavioral standards in these domains traditionally reserved for sovereign discretion. A golden rule governing the way states are expected to act toward one another with respect to war/peace issues is certainly currently situated in global dream space. If this is so or so believed, let us at least lift the fog of self-righteous rhetoric, plan to defend our political space as well as we can, and rethink the unintended consequences of interfering in foreign elections and engaging in regime-changing interventions.
At least, let us not deceive ourselves into believing that we are responsible custodians of peace and decency in the world. Do we really have grounds for believing that Donald Trump is less dangerous to the world than Kim Jong-un or the Supreme Guide of Iran? Even if their outlook on political engagement overlaps and their swagger is similar, the US is far more powerful, has alone used nuclear weapons against civilian targets and overthrown numerous foreign governments, including those elected in fair and free elections, and has its own house in a condition of disorder, although despite all this admittedly humanly far more desirable than the order experienced within totalitarian North Korea.
Is it not time for the peoples of the world to rise up and put some restraints on the strong as well as the weak? The UN veto power confers on the most powerful states a constitutional free ride when it comes to compliance with international law and the UN Charter. In effect, the UN back in 1945 institutionalized a topsy-turvy structure that curbs the weak, while granting impunity to the predatory behavior of the strong.
If we grant that this is the way things are and are likely to remain, can't we at least look in the mirror, and no longer pretend to be that innocent damsel that can only be protected by slaying the dragons roaming the jungles of the world. Trump had his singular moment of truth when he responded on February 4th to Bill O'Reilly's assertion that Putin was "a killer": "There are a lot of killers. We've got a lot of killers. What do you think? Our country is so innocent." And unlike Trump's frequent journeys into dark thickets of falsehood that are dismissed by the injunction "let Trump be Trump," when the man speaks truly for once, his words were scorched, and erased even from the influential media blackboards of the alt right.

March 8: Letters To the Editor
Disservice to post office
Cornelius Chapman leaves out an important fact — that most of the U.S. Postal Service red ink since 2006 has been due to the requirement to pre-fund its retiree health benefits to the tune of $5.5 billion a year ("Postal fashion another poor fit," Feb 22). Under the "reform" law, the post office will be pre-funding people who haven't even been born yet. No other company or government agency is required to do this.

1 Punctuation and Style: A Quick-Reference Guide Office of Communications April 2009
2 Welcome Punctuation and Style: A Quick-Reference Guide is a tool to help promote and ensure accuracy, clarity, and consistency among campus print publications and external communications. The purpose of this guide is not to govern academic publications or everyday internal communications, including messages, syllabi, class or department handouts, etc. It is to help each member of the campus community present unified and consistent external messages, increasing the credibility of the institution and more effectively promoting our mission. The Office of Communications adheres to this style guide with some exceptions. First reference is the Associate Press Stylebook; second reference is Webster s New World College Dictionary Fourth Edition; third reference is The Chicago Manual of Style 15th Edition. NOTE: The complete Puget Sound Style Guide is available online at A Word on Deviation from University of Puget Sound Style Please remember that style and grammar rules exist to help communicate messages clearly for a particular audience. There will be times when, due to the design or purpose of a publication or to achieve a certain look or feel you must deviate from the style guide. If that is the case, we ask that you deviate consistently throughout your publication. Key to Using this Style Guide In the interest of making this guide as accessible as possible, we have listed everything alphabetically, regardless of what category of grammar or mechanics under which it falls. If you re not sure what you re looking for, or if you have questions, please contact the Office of Communications at
3 ACADEMIC DEGREES Correct Formats: Bachelor of Arts in psychology bachelor s degree in psychology Master of Arts in French master s degree in French master s in education associate degree (not associate s) NOTE: Capitalize academic degrees when they are spelled out in full (formal references), but use lower case in all other uses. Major fields are not capitalized unless they contain a proper noun, and only then are the proper nouns capitalized: She earned a bachelor s degree in French and a Master of Arts in international business administration. Academic Degree Abbreviations Capitalize formal abbreviated degrees: B.A., B.S., M.Ed., Ph.D. Use abbreviations only after a full name, never after just a last name When used after a name, an academic abbreviation is set off by commas: Ron Thomas, Ph.D., spoke at the awards ceremony. In print, use academic degree abbreviations not courtesy titles, such as Dr. to indicate an advanced or medical degree Preferred: Ron Thomas, M.D. Incorrect: Dr. Ron Thomas Do not precede a name with a courtesy title for an academic degree and follow it with the abbreviation for the degree in the same reference Preferred: Ron Thomas, Ph.D., chemist Incorrect: Dr. Ron Thomas, Ph.D. Honorary Degrees Honorary degrees are granted to individuals for their service and contribution to the community, and do not make the recipients alumni of University of Puget Sound. For a complete list of academic degrees, including honorary degrees, see Academic Degrees in the body of the style guide at ADDRESS FORMAT Ronald R. Thomas President University of Puget Sound 1500 N. Warner St. #1094 Tacoma, WA AND VS. & Avoid using an ampersand (&) except when space deems it necessary Preferred: Alumni and Parent Relations When an ampersand is required, do not use a serial comma before the ampersand: Prelude, Passages & Perspectives APOSTROPHE ( ) Add s to singular nouns not ending in s: the dean s office, department s budget Add only an apostrophe to singular proper names ending in s: Achilles heel, Tennessee Williams plays NOTE: President Thomas prefers the use of s with his name: President Thomas s house Add s to plural nouns not ending in s: alumni s contributions, women s rights Add only an apostrophe to plural nouns ending in s: departments needs, staff members benefits
4 Add only an apostrophe to nouns plural in form, but singular in meaning: the Department of Mathematics and Computer Sciences courses, Facilities Services polo shirts Use an apostrophe when omitting figures: the class of 76, the Roaring 20s BULLET POINTS / NUMBERED LISTS Guidelines for creating bulleted lists: Make bulleted lists consistent in structure. Make each bullet point a sentence or a fragment. Multiple bulleted lists within the same document do not need to be consistent with each other, just within themselves. Punctuate each bulleted list consistently. If all points within a list are sentences, punctuate with a period; if all are fragments, use no end punctuation. If points within one list are a mix of complete sentences and fragments, reword the points so they are consistent. Avoid making bullet points too long. A good maximum length is three lines. Number bullet points when you have more than five points. CAPITALIZATION Academic Degrees See Academic Degrees in this guide Campus Building Names Campus building names are always capitalized except in informal references: The meeting was held in Rasmussen Rotunda. The meeting was held in the rotunda. Internet Terminology Internet intranet home page hyperlink online (no hyphen) webcam webcast webmaster Web page Web site (always two words) World Wide Web www. University vs. university Capitalize university only when it is part of a proper name: University of Puget Sound, Harvard University See also Titles COLLEGE VS. UNIVERSITY See UNIVERSITY VS. COLLEGE COLON ( : ) Use a colon at the end of a sentence to introduce lists, tabulations, texts, etc. Capitalize the first word after a colon only if it is a proper noun or the start of a complete sentence. Use a colon to introduce long quotations within a paragraph and to end all paragraphs that introduce a paragraph of quoted material. Colons go outside quotation marks unless they are part of the quotation itself.
5 COMMA (, ) (Deviation from AP Stylebook) Use commas to separate elements in a series: The American flag is red, white, and blue. The comma may be omitted after short introductory phrases if no ambiguity would result: During the night he heard many noises. Commas are used in figures higher than 999: 1,012; 68,472; 200,000 NOTE: From the College and University Editors Listserve, an easy guide to the use of commas when dealing with independent clauses (I), coordinating conjunctions (cc), and adverb clauses (AV): I + I = ; I like ice cream; I prefer chocolate. I + cc + I =, I like ice cream, but I prefer chocolate. AV + I =, When it is hot outside, I like ice cream. I + AV = no punctuation I like ice cream when it is hot outside. Always hyphenate: Do not capitalize in running text When inviting or directing readers to voice questions, comments, and concerns electronically, use message: Send me an message. Forward all messages to Ron Thomas in my absence. is a medium through which people communicate, so it is also acceptable to invite or direct communication via While I m in Hawai i, you may contact me via . EMERITUS As a title, before the name: Professor Emeritus of English LeRoy Annis; Professor Emerita of Foreign Languages and Literature Jacqueline Martin As a classifier, after the name: LeRoy Annis, professor emeritus of English; Jacqueline Martin, professor emerita of foreign languages and literature FOREIGN WORDS Italicize foreign words that are not in the English vernacular (vise versa, etcetera) or are not in Webster s New World College Dictionary. HAWAI`I, HAWAIIAN, HAWAI`I RESIDENT See WWW. HYPHENATION NOTE: Hyphenation sometimes must be determined on a word-by-word basis. Many words that used to be hyphenated, such as goodbye, now have preferred spellings without the hyphen. If you plan to use a hyphenated word, it is always a good idea to check it first in the Webster s New World College Dictionary. Compound Modifiers Generally speaking, words become hyphenated when they are made into compound modifiers two or more words that express a single concept. Typically, compound modifiers immediately precede the noun they modify: top-notch hotel
6 14th-century architecture Japanese-American resident These same modifiers are not hyphenated when they fall after the noun they modify in the sentence: The hotel we stayed in was top notch. We visited a church with architecture from the 14th century. Many residents of this community are Japanese American. Dual Heritage In general, when indicating dual heritage with a compound modifier, hyphenate (African-American student, Pacific-American tradition); do not hyphenate in other cases (Sixteen percent of the freshman class is African American.). En Dash vs. Em Dash En Dash: To show range. To separate a range of numbers (12 24), use an en dash, which is roughly the width of a capital N, slightly longer than a hyphen and shorter than an em dash. Do not include spaces before or after the en dash. On a Macintosh computer, create using Option plus dash ; on a PC create using <Alt> plus the numbers 0150 on the right-side number pad. Em Dash: To set text apart. To set off interruptions in text (The girls waited wiggling in their seats for the clown to arrive.), use an em dash, which is roughly the width of a capital M, twice the size of a hyphen and slightly longer than an en dash. Do not include spaces before or after the em dash. On a Macintosh computer, create using Option plus shift plus dash ; on a PC create using <Alt> plus the numbers 0151 on the right-side number pad. When using Microsoft Word: From the drop-down menu item Insert, chose Symbol then Special Characters to insert either an en dash or em dash into the body of your text. Prefixes See separate listings for commonly used prefixes in the body of the style guide at Generally, do not hyphenate when using a prefix with a word starting with a consonant. Three rules are constant, though they yield some exceptions to first-listed spellings in Webster s New World College Dictionary: Except for cooperate and coordinate, use a hyphen if the prefix ends in a vowel and the word that follows begins with the same vowel Use a hyphen if the word that follows is capitalized: mid-april Use a hyphen to join doubled prefixes: sub-subparagraph Commonly used (and misused) prefixes: co- Retain the hyphen when forming nouns, adjectives, and verbs that indicate occupation or status: co-author, co-chairman, co-host. Use no hyphen in other combinations: coeducational, coexist, cocurricular. mid- No hyphen unless a capitalized word follows: mid-atlantic, midsemester. But use a hyphen when mid- precedes a figure: mid-30s, mid-19th century. non- The rules of prefixes apply, but in general no hyphen when forming a compound that does not have special meaning and can be understood if not is used before the base word. Use a hyphen, however, before proper nouns or in awkward combinations, such as non-nuclear. pre- The rules of prefixes apply. The following exceptions to first-listed spellings in Webster s New World College Dictionary are based on the general rule that a hyphen is used if a prefix ends in a vowel and the word that follows begins with the same vowel: pre-election, pre-eminent, preempt, pre-establish, pre-exist. Otherwise, follow Webster s New World, hyphenating if not listed there. Suffixes See separate listings for commonly used suffixes in the body of the style guide at Follow Webster s New World College Dictionary for words not listed in the style guide. If a word combination is not listed in Webster s New World, use two words for the verb form; hyphenate any noun or adjective forms. University Programs African American Studies
7 Asian Studies Latin American Studies NUMBERS (DATE, DIMENSION, MEASUREMENT, PHONE NUMBER, TIME) NOTE: When using ordinal numbers, (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) do not use superscript. AutoFormat in Word automatically formats the st, nd, rd, etc. into a superscript font (1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd ). To disable AutoFormat, select AutoCorrect from the Tools menu on the main toolbar. Click on the AutoFormat As You Type pane and de-select the Ordinals (1st) with superscript option. Date Use numbers in text. Correct: Classes begin on August 20. Classes begin August 20. Incorrect: Classes begin on August 20 th. Days: Do not abbreviate except when necessary for tabular format. Abbreviations are always three letters without periods (Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat). Months: Capitalize the names of months in all uses. When a month is used with a specific date, abbreviate only Jan., Feb., Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov., and Dec. Spell out when using alone, or with a year alone. When a phrase lists only a month and a year, do not separate the year with commas. When a phrase refers to a month, day, and year, set off the year with commas. January 1972 was a cold month. Jan. 2 was the coldest day of the month. His birthday is May 8. Feb. 14, 1987, was the target date. Ordinal numbers (i.e., ending in th, nd, rd, st) are used only without the month. Correct: We'll see you on the 12th. We ll see you December 12. Incorrect: We'll see you on December 12th. NOTE: Use an en dash with no spaces when showing date range: August 18 27, December 22 January 11 Dimension Harned Hall will add 51,000 square feet to the science center. Harned Hall is a 51,000-square-foot laboratory space. Measurement 27-foot-long skeleton The whale skeleton in Harned Hall is 27 feet long. 5-year-old boy The boy is 5 years old. Phone Numbers Format for phone numbers should be consistent within a single document. Preferred: , Correct: Incorrect: (253) , , 1-(800) Time Use figures except for noon and midnight Use a colon to separate hours from minutes: 1:30 Avoid such redundancies as 10 a.m. this morning or 11 p.m. Monday night The construction 4 o clock is acceptable, but time listings with a.m. or p.m. are preferable Do not include zero minutes in a time listing Always include a space between the figure and p.m. or a.m. To indicate a range of time, use an en dash with no spaces, or the word pairing from to. Correct: 4 p.m., 8 a.m. 3 p.m., 7:30 a.m. noon, Noon 6 p.m., from 2 to 4 p.m. Incorrect: 4:00 p.m., 8am-3pm, 7:30 am to Midnight, from 6 a.m. 2 p.m. QUOTATION MARKS ( )
8 Composition Titles (Deviation from AP Stylebook) See Titles, Composition Titles in this guide Direct Quotes Use open-quote marks ( ) and close-quote marks ( ) to surround the exact words of a speaker or writer when reported in a story: I have no intention of staying, he replied. Punctuation Periods and commas always go within the quotation marks. The dash, semicolon, colon, question mark, and exclamation point go inside the quotation marks when they apply to the quoted matter only. They go outside when they apply to the whole sentence. SEMICOLON ( ; ) Use a semicolon to indicate greater separation of thought and information than a comma can convey but less than the separation that a period implies. Use semicolons to separate elements of a series when the items in the series are long or when individual segments contain material that also must be set off by commas: He is survived by a son, John Smith, of Chicago; three daughters, Jane Smith, of Wichita, Kan., Mary Smith, of Denver, and Susan, of Boston; and a sister, Martha, of Omaha, Neb. NOTE: The semicolon is used before the final and in such a series. Place semicolons outside quotation marks. STATE NAMES Spell out the names of the 50 U.S. states when they stand alone in textual material. Any state name may be condensed, however, to fit typographical requirements for tabular material. The names of eight states are never abbreviated in datelines or text: Alaska, Hawai i, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Ohio, Texas, and Utah. NOTE: There is a difference between the two-letter Postal Service state abbreviations and abbreviations used in running text (WA vs. Wash.). For a complete list of both ways to abbreviate state names, see the body of the style guide at STUDENT STAFF MEMBER See Work Study THE UNIVERSITY OF PUGET SOUND VS. UNIVERSITY OF PUGET SOUND See University of Puget Sound vs. the University of Puget Sound THEATRE VS. THEATER Use theater unless the proper name is Theatre: Norton Clapp Theatre, Department of Theatre Arts NOTE: Follow this rule even if both spellings occur in the same publication. TITLES Composition Titles University of Puget Sound deviates from the AP Stylebook to make our print publications easier to read. In general, italicize all major works and place quotation marks around smaller pieces within major works Correct: The article Journey into Baghdad appears in this week s issue of TIME Magazine. Italicize: book titles, song titles, lecture titles, TV, and radio show titles Quote Marks: article titles, episode titles of TV and radio shows Capitalize only (no italics or quotation marks) musical composition titles
9 NOTE: These guidelines are for running text in print materials. Format may change in programs, posters, fliers, etc. For more complete information, see Composition Titles in the body of the style guide at Courtesy Titles (Dr., Miss, Mr., Mrs., Ms.) In print, refer to both men and women by first and last name. Use courtesy titles only in direct quotations.

How Much To Charge For A Diaper Bag Cake?
Decorating By reba70 Updated 17 Jun 2011 , 10:17pm by kimbm04r
I was ask to make a diaper bag cake but dont know how much to charge. Please help!
I just made one and charged according to the serving size of the pan I used to bake it. (2 - 10 in square cakes = 50 servings) Then add for the fondant and decorations. You carve some cake away but then that isn't really very much and compensates you for your time spent.

Atlantic Tele-Network is changing hands at $31.15 with 41,363 shares traded as of 11:31 a.m. ET. Average volume has been 95,000 shares over the past 30 days. Atlantic Tele-Network has a market cap of $507.2 million and is part of the technology sector and telecommunications industry. Shares are down 14.9% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday. Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. provides telecommunications services to rural, niche, and other under-served markets and geographies in the United States, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. The company has a P/E ratio of 13.3, equal to the average telecommunications industry P/E ratio and below the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 21.9. TheStreet Ratings rates Atlantic Tele-Network as hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and reasonable valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including unimpressive growth in net income, disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins.

Some used to say the moment of the NBA Finals was too large for the Miami Heat's LeBron James.
Nobody ever said that about Julia Dale.
Dale, 11, sang TheStar-Spangled Banner at AmericanAirlines Arena prior to Game 5 on Thursday. It was her 17th performance at Miami Heat games, according to Miami and Fort Lauderdale's Channel 7 News at WSVN.com.
While James is proving critics wrong in the Finals, some say Dale is a contributing factor as Miami's good luck charm. She has performed before all three Miami home wins this series and the Heat held a 3-1 advantage on the Oklahoma City Thunder heading into Game 5.
The Fort Lauderdale resident has watched the Heat go 14-2 after she performed during the past two seasons.
Retired NFL player and Miami native Jason Taylor tweeted, "Great job by 11 year old Julia Dale singing the national anthem. Tough song to sing. We've all seen it butchered before #Finals"

Lifetime has greenlighted Whitney Houston (working title), an original movie about the tragic music superstar who died in 2012. Helmed by Angela Bassett in her directorial debut, Whitney Houston is set for a 2015 premiere. It chronicles the tumultuous relationship between Houston and singer-songwriter Bobby Brown — from the time they first met at the very height of their celebrity through their courtship and rocky marriage, all during Whitney's meteoric rise as a singer, actress and model. "I have such regard for both Whitney's and Bobby's amazing talents and accomplishments, and I feel a responsibility in the telling of their story," said Bassett. "Their humanity and bond fascinates us all." Produced by The Sanitsky Co., Whitney Houston comes from executive producer Larry Sanitsky and writer Shem Bitterman, the team behind Lifetime's 2013 movie Betty & Coretta. That telepic told the dual real-life stories of Coretta Scott King (Bassett) and Dr. Betty Shabazz (Mary J. Blige).
Lifetime Sets Whitney Houston Biopic Directed By Angela Bassett

At this point, can we just assume there's nothing Angela Bassett CAN'T do? Actually kind of surprised she hasn't directed before, at least on stage or somewhere.
Seriously, Bassett is amazing. I'm sure this will be compelling in her hands.
Why isn't this a feature film? This film should not be made for LIFETIME. Now Whitney Houston's estate has any say over the content of the film then it won't be an honest portrait of a troubled soul.
Yale Eli!!!!!
There are only two actresses that can play Whitney Houston. They're Paula Patton and Joy Bryant. I hope they cast Joy Bryant though. She has much more depth than Patton. She'd be perfect.
Oh, boy… get ready for the high camp factor. Lifetime? This is going to be really, REALLY bad.
Kinda wish this was on HBO, I want to see a Whitney pic with glitz, glamour and to explore the darker moments of her life honestly.
Yes, HBO would have been better. There would be no sugarcoating. Very real and raw.
Okay since it's Lifetime can i suggest Ella Thomas? if not then i would also be happy with Paula Patton. Just as long as the choice is not left field like Jordin Sparks or going strictly on vocal capabilities like Jennifer Hudson. Please you guys don't do that.
oh and p.s i really hope they don't go with Megan Good. Megan i know you wanted to play her but No ok wait until they do a "Ronettes" biopic the you can be Ronnie Spektor okay? :P
Jennifer Hudson would be a very interesting choice but she'd have to lose even more weight. Not sure …. Jordan Sparks wouldn't be right. I'm sure they'll be lip-syncing whoever they choose. We want to hear Whitney's voice. It'd be interesting to have Halle Berry play her too but Bassett had a few nasty words about Halle after she won the Oscar so not sure if that's going to go over. Maybe they'll get a complete unknown. It doesn't need a star with Bassett and Houston's name's attached.
I'm open to the casting decisions. As long as Brandy Norwood is NOT cast as Whitney. Just, please NO.
Can Brandy even hit high notes?? Are they going to go What's Love Got to Do with it and have it all be Whitney singing?
Is this authorized or at least has Houston's family's blessing? I know she was a public figure so they can legally do what they want but I hope the family is behind this and it will feature her music as well. I can't imagine someone with Bassett's integrity, doing it without their consent.
Heather Headley or Lupita Nyong'o ? Kerry Washington ? I don't care for a lookalike contest, I would prefer a great actress who can capture Whitney's essence. Zoe Saldana could be great, too.
Did anyone actually see BETTY AND CORETTA? It was unwatchably bad. And now the creatives involved in that are tackling Whitney Houston?! Please.
I would rather watch an Angela Bassett bio pic
I've been following u fo over 25years. I love everything you do from movies ,directing ,personal life an specially how u carry yoself May god continues to bless you an let u b an inspiration to the world LOVE YOU Mrs Bassett :-)
I find this appalling on many fronts….first of all LIFETIME? Whitney was a SUPER STAR. She deserves bigger and better than a tv movie of the week…with a first time director….I am deeply. Deeply saddened by this. I expected a memorable.unforgettable film….like Mahagony a fulm that would take my breath away….much like her voice and her light when it was bright…oh well poor Whitney….Its all about money. No one ever seemed to have her best interest at heart. I suppose it didnt change when she died.
I wish this was a big motion picture starring someone like the luminous Lupita Nyong'O, penned by someone like the brilliant Aaron Sorkin and directed by someone gritty and legendary like Martin Scorsese…then again Whitney Houston WAS a superstar, IS a legend and REMAINS an icon for eternity…so why isn't this a motion picture like the one i just described ? Come on Hollywood, you can do better than that ! Anyway, Angela Bassett is a great start, hopefully the project won't fall apart creatively once the final draft and the casting is approved…
Whitney deserves so much better than Lifetime, even with Bassett at the helm. Disappointing.
I think Gennine Francis should play Whitney Houston. Look her up on Facebook.
i agree…Iwouldnotbothertoevenwatch if brandy play the part because its something not right about the brandy, ray j when it comes to WhitneyHouston dealth
Angela Basset would do a great job

Wedding Day: The Drama9:00 AM
The drama all began a day before the wedding was supposed to happen. They resort started evacuating certain rooms, one of them being ours as we were one of the closer ones to the waves. Their solution was to move us to the Long House which was a big house consisting of 3 rooms and a big living area space, along with my sister, her boyfriend and J's parents. I, however, was not happy with the decision to move us and said no, we are not moving. I was too much in love with our Rock Cottage and I wanted to J and I to stay in there. The staff just laughed and said fine, you can stay. At dinner, we watched the loud and choppy waves but I kept on saying that it didn't look that bad and we were fine.
(Photo by Punam Bean)
When we went to bed that night I was sure that we'd be fine. As it were, all night J and I would wake up every few hours and check and sure enough, we were good. No water, no nothing. Until about 7:30AM when J woke up he put his foot down and said "Oh Sh*t." I jumped up to find the entire floor covered in water. First thing I did was to run to the closet to make sure that the water hadn't reached up to my wedding dress, which thankfully, it hadn't. We had done a good job putting everything up off the floor the night before so nothing was damaged.
I then went into the dining room where we found both our families wondering where we were. The dining room was right by the waves so we spent the entire morning just watching the gigantic waves. That day was supposed to be the day that we got married and the wedding coordinator kept on telling me not to worry, it was still going to happen. The waves would calm down.
That is, until slowly one by one, each of our guests were told that it was too dangerous but now they had no more open rooms and would have to move them to a different hotel. I was pretty much freaking out at this point and a million thoughts were running through my head. And then, Punam headed back to her room to get her laptop and when she came back, it was like a nightmare come true. If you read her blog post, you'll know that she walked into a big ol water flood in her room and everything was soaked. The waves were so strong that it literally blew the door off! Punam and Andrew really kept it together even though all their belongings including all her camera equipment were soaked. I think back about how calm they were and I am so grateful because I don't know how much more I could've handled. There were so many factors that I just had no control over and just did not know what to do.
Can you believe how high that wave went to crash down their door?
It took us about 45 minutes to get there and I had been trying to keep it together most of the day but the car ride seemed to increase my anxiety and I was getting pretty emotional. After all, I was supposed to get married THAT day and it was approaching the time that the ceremony was supposed to have started. Before we left my family was saying "you might as well look at the new place to see if you can have your wedding there." And with that in mind, I cried my eyes out the moment I stepped foot in there. I feel bad because it wasn't such a horrible place but it really wasn't what I wanted. It's just that it was no Tensing Pen. There was no amazing view of the ocean, there were no cute little cottages, there was no cliffs.
What they had was a pool in the middle of the main building with a swim up bar and all you can eat buffet right next to it. (This was an all-inclusive resort) Not so bad if you are prepared for it and that's what kind of place you are wanting to stay at, but it was all pretty much the exact opposite of what I wanted. All the staff in the lobby saw me crying and they all tried to make me feel better which made me feel even worse because I shouldn't have been making them feel bad. Once I calmed down the manager brought me and J to a wedding that was going on that day which was being held by the pool and she told me that we could have our wedding there. I then looked and saw all the half naked people at the pool bar (a.k.a uninvited guests) watching the wedding that was going on and I just knew at once that there was no way I could have my wedding there. Once we were alone I told J that it was either a wedding at Tensing Pen or no wedding at all. He agreed with me.
We did decide however to move everyone over and just stay the night there just so we could all be together. Much more drama happened with that but I won't go into details. Let's just say, the process of getting the rooms wasn't easy.
I didn't sleep well that night but I wished with all that I had in my heart to give us the wedding day that we had been planning over a year for and had flown all the way down for.
all photos by style-ish unless otherwise noted
*my disclaimer is that there is nothing wrong with these kinds of weddings as I'm sure many people have gotten married there and had a wonderful time. It's just that I had certain expectations for my wedding as I think most brides do and what was presented to me was completely different than anything I had ever imagined. Plus, I was a tad bit emotional that day :)

These photos are exquisite!!!ReplyDelete
Photography is superb and it sounds like you had a memorable experience!!!! Sorry about all the drama!ReplyDelete
whoa, what a drama. i'm sorry u had to go through that on one of the most important days in ur life.ReplyDelete
the pictures are beautiful tho.
Wow, what a crazy time! Having recently done a destination wedding, I felt your pain but the good news is that I'm sure it was a memorable time for all and it still turned out beautifully. Beautiful pictures!ReplyDelete
I totally understand; it's like ordering filet mignon and getting chicken. I know it turned out for you in the end and your in love so that is all that matters; but boy what a story to tell your kids!ReplyDelete
wow. that's some drama. i can't wait to hear how things got better :-).ReplyDelete
I can't believe the craziness you had to endure! You poor thing! I'm sure the big day was all that you both had wished for.ReplyDelete
Aww, so sorry for all you had to go through...and I totally understand for not wanting to get married near the pool. Yikes!ReplyDelete
omg, i would have bawled my eyes out, too. but we all know it was a happy ending...thank goodness! :)ReplyDelete
awwww.... i would have totally been crazy emotional too.. i got married cliff side i hawaii.. and it ended up being overcast.. and even started sprinkling at the end of the ceremony.. i wasn't very happy bout that.... but what can you do i guess.. i'm glad things turned out for the best for you!ReplyDelete
I would have been absolutely losing it. I can't wait until I get to read about how things got better!ReplyDelete
Also, it's strange but even the hurricane is gorgeous down there. Scary, but gorgeous.
That first shot is "take your breath away amazing". I'm so glad I've already seen the pictures and I know there is a happy ending in the middle of all this madness! Wonderful post.ReplyDelete
u definately handled it well! i'm so glad everything did work out.ReplyDelete
Like Jenna said I am so glad it all worked out for you and the hubby in the end. I can only imagine how much stress and emotions you and everyone had going on that day. I completely understand how you feel about your expectations for your wedding. Like most said it will be a good story to tell the kids someday if you guys decide on having them. Also this was a testament to your strength as a couple.ReplyDelete
The pics are lovely!! Good work!
I totally agree with your feelings about where the wedding would take place ( of course I would, mine will be in the same location!:) But even when we could not get all the guests to take the property and Sonia said we would have to move the ceremony from the restaurant to the sea song hut, it was not what I had envisioned, nor what I had packed decorations for, after a sleepless night wondering how to salvage what I had dreamed of we found a work around. I have spoken to so many brides who will be having beach and large resort weddings, it just does not change my mind about how I feel about Tensing Pen and how much the location sets the tone for the event.ReplyDelete
I am so impressed with you ability and will to keep it together. What a nightmare! The happy ending warms my hear though and its become your own little story of triumph ad victory!ReplyDelete
i feel like i was right there with you! you're a trooper for sure!ReplyDelete
That 1st picture is AMAZING. Beautiful and devastating!ReplyDelete
The feelings you experienced were only human! If it were me, I would've been a psycho-bridezilla-bitch. And I feel the same way about that all-inclusive tucked away inland vs being set on the cliffs. The cliffs have a totally different vibe! That sucks that you had to suffer through the emotional trauma that you did. But I'm glad it worked out in the end and now you have a great story to tell! :-)ReplyDelete
Wow - you kept it together incredibly, incredibly well! Much more so than I would have been able to do!ReplyDelete

And panel Chairman Ed Royce (R-Calif.) said he'd soon be sending a bipartisan delegation of committee staff to Haiti to prepare for a hearing on the "troubling findings."
The Obama administration said the tragedy was an opportunity to rebuild the Western Hemisphere's poorest country. That idea was pushed forcefully by then-Secretary of State Hillary ClintonHillary Rodham ClintonDem campaign arm slams Heller, Flake on healthcare votes Co-founder of firm tied to Trump dossier agrees to speak to Senate panel Trump won't say if he'll fire Sessions MORE, who honeymooned on the island four decades ago with Bill ClintonBill ClintonBoos for Obama as Trump speaks at Boy Scout jamboree Feehery: Winning August OPINION | Dems need a fresh face for 2020: Try Kamala Harris MORE, the United Nations' special envoy to Haiti.
"The development of the North represents a new day for Haiti," Hillary Clinton said at the opening of the 600-acre Caracol Industrial Park eight months ago, "and a new model for how the international community practices development."
The GAO report greatly tempers those expectations.
It found that USAID had disbursed only about 31 percent of its funding — $204 million — as of March 31. Progress on the port that's supposed to support the Caracol park has been even slower, with only 6 percent spent so far because of planning delays, notably the failure to hire a port engineer.
"The USAID mission in Haiti lacks staff with technical expertise in planning, construction, and oversight of a port, as there is a vacant position for a port engineer on staff," GAO concluded. "According to USAID officials, USAID has not constructed a port anywhere in the world since the 1970s, and USAID does not have a port engineer or port project manager among its direct-hire staff."
USAID largely agreed with the GAO's recommendations and said it had made hiring a port engineer a priority.

Federico and Krueger Come Back with Strong Finishes in TORC Round 2
Wilmette, IL ( May19, 2009) - Federico Racing had its two Toyota Tacoma PRO- Light race trucks primed for a another season of exciting wheel to wheel short course off -road racing .Steven Federico in the #24 P.F. Changs Invisible Glass TRD Toyota Tacoma and Lee O'Donnell in the #23 P.F. Changs Toyota Tacoma. For the first race of the year Mark Krueger will be driving the #23 Toyota as Lee is in Panama racing a Monster Truck.
The practice sessions saw Federico work on getting his truck to turn better, and unfortunately, Krueger needed additional time to get fitted to the #23 Toyota and missed the sessions.
Friday Qualifying
Steven Federico qualified fifth, and Mark Krueger seventh in the thirteen truck field.
Friday Night Round One
The field took the green as the PRO-Light field came rolling off of Turn 4, and as Steven made his way through the infield for the first time, the pitman arm of the steering broke ending his night.
The field took the green as the PRO-Light field came rolling off of Turn 4, and as Steven started to make his way through the field and heading into the first turn, Steven was hit hard in the left front tire, breaking the pitman arm and losing all steering. The opening round of the season for the #24 P.F. Chang's Invisible Glass TRD Toyota Tacoma was over as quickly as it started.
Meanwhile, Mark Krueger was running well moving into the top five. For several laps he and Casey Currie were bumper to bumper, side by side, getting the crowd in their feet. Then with two laps to go, Mark radioed in that the engine was running hot. Wisely, crew chief Chris Hansen, had him back off, looking to prevent permanent engine damage, and crossed the finish in ninth place.
Steven Federico commented, "The hard hit we took really wasn't necessary, so early in the race, but it is what it is. We will have our Toyota Tacoma ready to go before we call it a night. I know we will come back strong tomorrow, it's just a racing thing."
Mark Krueger added, "I was pretty happy with my run until we started overheating. We have time tomorrow to make some changes in the cooling system and we will be battling for more TV time."
About 4am Saturday morning, a cold front swept through the Dallas-Fort Worth area, bringing heavy rains that lasted until 3pm in the afternoon. The deluge created a lake in the infield of the track and getting the track dry enough to races seemed impossible. The series owners, Ricky Johnson and Mitch Covington, put their crew to work. Somehow, the track was ready for racing by 9pm. The race schedule was delayed but the over 5000 spectators didn't seem to mind as a huge roar rang through the grandstands when the PRO-Light field made its way onto the track.
Saturday Night Round Two
The starting grid was determined by the finishing order in Round One, this put Federico thirteenth and Kreuger ninth.
This time out Steven Federico drove a great race, behind the wheel of the #24 Invisible Glass PF Changs Toyota Tacoma, passing seven trucks during the twenty lap race. Only the runner-up finisher passed more competitors.
Overnight, crew chief Chris Hansen made some cooling system changes in the #23 PF Changs Toyota Tacoma, as Mark Kreuger was able to run hard all race along. Krueger finished just behind Federico in seventh place.
We had a couple of minor miscues with our trucks Friday night," noted Steven Federico. "AJ and Chris quickly identified the problems and had both trucks race ready with time to spare. Our Goodwin Engineering powered Toyota gave me what I need to move through traffic. The laps ran out before I could break into the top five. My hat is off to the track crew for getting this track ready tonight. I really thought we would be racing on Sunday. An extra bit of thanks goes out to AMSOIL and the PDG the travel stipend to help with our expenses. Without that we wouldn't be here."
After two rounds of racing in the Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL, Steven Federico is eleventh overall, and O'Donnell/Krueger is tenth overall in the PRO-Light Championship standings.
You can watch the all the action from the opening weekend of the Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL, this Sunday, May 24, at 11:00am, on ESPN2.
