Congressman Todd Akin's meteoric rise to notoriety over ignorant and offensive remarks about abortion and rape has once again highlighted the dramatic rightward shift of the Republican Party on reproductive rights. The incident also reveals troubling signs about the health of our democracy.
Last week, Akin rebuffed calls from Republicans and Democrats alike for him to discontinue his campaign. In response, the National Senate Republican Committee announced that it would withdraw its resources from the race, criticizing the "misguided campaign" for "putting at great risk many of the issues that he [Akin] and others in the Republican Party are fighting for, including the repeal of ObamaCare."
Just because the Republican Party is withdrawing from Missouri does not mean that Akin's candidacy is doomed. Recent polls show Senator McCaskill leading since Akin offered his unsolicited medical "expertise." Even so, McCaskill remains an endangered incumbent, still barely securing 50 percent. But now, without GOP-backing, Akin will have to rely more heavily on outside spending to regain his footing in the race.
Not surprisingly, Religious Right groups have rushed to Akin's defense and signaled their willingness to prop up his candidacy. Tony Perkins, the head of the Family Research Council, which maintains an affiliated PAC and political nonprofit, has reportedly met with Akin and pledged the group's support to his campaign. The American Family Association, which like FRC has a nonprofit political arm, not only defended Akin, but characterized his biological assertions as "absolutely right." Akin also met last week with the Council for National Policy, a secretive coalition of conservative and evangelical leaders, activists, and donors, which should yield additional outside spending. Anti-abortion organizations including Missouri Right to Life and the Susan B. Anthony List, both political nonprofits, have also recommitted themselves to Akin.
The organizations on which Akin's electoral fortunes depend are the sort freed by Citizens United and subsequent lower court decisions to spend unlimited amounts of money on behalf of candidates without disclosing their donors. While Super PACs have gotten the most attention for their role in the new Wild West of campaign financing, nonprofits like those defending Akin have accounted for more outside spending. During the 2010 election, nonprofit "social welfare" organizations outspent Super PACs by a 3-2 margin, and two such organizations -- Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and the Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity -- have together spent more than all Super PACs or party committees combined so far in the 2012 election.
Beyond the potential for corruption and the lack of transparency outside spending engenders, this trend has serious consequences for the basic hydraulics of our republican form of government. In building public support for the Constitution, James Madison depicted political factions as the greatest threat to democracy. Factions, he said, imperil democracy by rendering elected officials "much more disposed to vex and oppress each other than to co-operate for their common good." He warned that "[m]en of factious tempers, of local prejudices, or of sinister designs, may, by intrigue, by corruption, or by other means, first obtain the suffrages, and then betray the interests, of the people."
If Akin is elected, it will be under the auspices of just the sort of factions that Madison feared. While polarized, the political parties at least represent a diverse collection of interests, not the extremely narrow agendas of a Family Research Council or an American Family Association. If Akin or other candidates secure office with the financial backing of nonprofit organizations rather than political parties, they will be beholden to groups with the most parochial of interests. A faction is not prevented from holding hostage legislative debate over the federal budget, global trade, or a judicial appointment in the same way that a party might.
Moreover, the role of outside groups in electoral politics subverts accountability. The chorus of Republican voices calling for Akin to suspend his campaign vividly demonstrates the backlash that the party fears over the candidate's comments. Parties can be held electorally accountable for the candidates they support and the positions they hold. Who will hold the Family Research Council and the American Family Association accountable for Akin's actions if he's elected? No amount of public outrage will dissuade such organizations from supporting candidates like Akin in the future or from wielding influence over beneficiaries to make their issues dominate the legislative agenda.
The Supreme Court has granted the country a brand of politics in which hardly any candidate can express a view so repugnant as to disqualify him from the support of a small but financially potent faction. The role of outside groups must be circumscribed for fear that the nation will, in the words of Madison, succumb to the "mortal diseases under which popular governments have everywhere perished."

You Can Stream The Interview Right Now [Updated]
On YouTube and other places.
According to CNN, though the deal has yet to be finalized, YouTube has "tentatively agreed" to release The Interview for rent starting tomorrow, in conjunction with the film's small theatrical release. This comes after an earlier plan for Apple's iTunes store to distribute the film failed. (Though that might "re-materialize sometime after Christmas.") Hollywood has attempted simultaneous theatrical releases with VOD in the past, but a deal like this with YouTube would truly be unprecedented. Merry Christmas, freedom lovers.
UPDATE: According to CNN's Brian Stelter, you will be able to rent (or buy) The Interview today at 1 p.m. ET on streaming outlets including YouTube, Google Play, and Microsoft's Xbox Video. Go to SeeTheInterview.com or TheInterview-Movie.com, and you'll be able to rent it for $6 or buy it for $15.

WASHINGTON — A summer vacation in one of the country's national parks isn't the great getaway that it used to be.
Modern technology abounds, even in the woods. Shuttle buses chauffeur vacationers through some of the most popular parks, and a nationwide computer ticket sales system allows them to reserve space in park campgrounds.

The following are the etiquette rules for our service. They have been furnished by sources who have learned (the hard way!) the pitfalls of mailing lists. Please follow them and send us comments if you think of changes or additions.
- There is a learning curve for people who have not used a mailing list before. Have patience with those who mistakenly post personal replies to the list. If you want to let them know that their message went to the entire list, send them a personal message. Do not post your response to their error to the entire list.
- On vacation or out of the office: Don't spam the list with "Out of the Office" replies. If you're going to be away for an extended period of time, unsubscribe from the list while you're away and resubscribe when you return.
- Use your real name.
- Use descriptive titles in the subject line so everyone can follow the threads and easily access the messages.
- Limit line length to 80 characters.
- Make sure the topic you are discussing is appropriate for the audience.
- Be brief.
- Be careful what you say about others. You never know who is listening, so be very cautious what you say about a particular company, manager, co-worker, or friend.
- Never forget that you are communicating with human beings, not computers. Do not attack people if you cannot persuade them with your presentation of the facts (cite appropriate references to back your argument). Remember that there are other people reading your messages. Screaming (ALL CAPS), cursing, or abusing someone only diminishes you in the minds of others and they will be less willing to help you when you need it. The STC Washington, DC – Baltimore (WDCB) Chapter reserves the right to unsubscribe anyone who posts abusive or annoying material.
- Remember there are no stupid questions. At one time, you didn't know the answer to the question, either.
- Don't post messages correcting someone else's spelling or grammar. This causes people to pick apart each other's messages and defeats the purpose of the service. Remember we all make mistakes and e-mail spelling mistakes are forgivable.
- Never assume the person is speaking for his/her organization. Many people post messages from their school or office, but the opinions are purely personal. If you have a problem with a message, please take it up with the individual, not the entire company.
- Be careful with humor and sarcasm. E-mail is easily misinterpreted; a remark that was meant to be funny can come across as rude. Often, adding a smiley face helps show you are joking :-).
- When you are responding to someone's message, please summarize the subject so others can follow the thread.
- Be careful to send personal follow-ups directly to the individual via e-mail, not broadcast to the entire group.
- Do not post information that may be an infringement on copyright laws.
- Do not use the mailing list as an advertising medium for your company, product, or service.
- Avoid posting to multiple mailing lists.
- Do not use the mailing list as a resource for homework assignments or research.

A Vimeo user called Joe D! has whipped up an awesome alternative opening credits for X-Men First Class done in a 60's style. It's too bad the actual opening credits for the movie won't be this cool, as this is even better than the great opening credits Watchmen had. Even cooler, he used the original 90s X-Men animated series theme music for this, although altered to fit the setting. Check it out.

No...nice try though.
Not in these exact words, but that Neo7 dude once said something like this...
Posting just to say someone is spamming, is considered spamming itself.
no you're spamming.
Hmm... well-structured arguments from Shibbz and Ry seem to have helped to halt the spamming. Good job bros.
Oh, and props to ES for bringing back the post-limit rule. Not that it was ever enforced in the first place, seeing as the Third-Gen project dissimilated into nothing.
Omg Chingy.
Yeah, we had some well-structured arguements I guess. It has decreased the spamming a great deal. *gives self and shibby a pat on the back*
Still don't want to do it again. I've been warned about the rules I must follow. Nice to see you, by the way, Chingy.

Pablo Picasso - The Absinthe Drinker (1901)
Kicking off with a bit from Modeselektor. Hadn't even considered this at first, but then the stumbling melody that opens the track just fit perfectly for the theme. Lucky I've recently put Happy Birthday! back into rotation, I've been missing my electro style fix as of late.

Keepin' it in Germany with a visit from Siriusmo. I didn't see much press about his second album Enthusiast compared to his debut Mosaik, though I suppose we weren't waiting about ten years for it. Similar to the Modeselektor tune it sounds pretty unstable, but the title also translates to something along the lines of "Beer Tears" too.

Something a little out of leftfield here, I've mentioned a Squarepusher's one off Jazz record a couple of times but never actually posted anything from it save My Sound. It does get pretty weird in parts but is actually pretty sweet, here's a little 40 second interstitial that appears about halfway through that reminds me of some stuff I've made meself while on the drink.

And finally, a little extra that I decided to put on as it came on in the station. A dubbed out rework of Massive Attack's Better Things courtesy of Mad Professor. I was surprised I hadn't posted this one, it's one of my favourites from the remix album No Protection, headphones definitely recommended for this one.

Liturgical Time Giveaway/
I'm keeping step with Michelle at Liturgical Time today. Come along?
I have always felt drawn to head covering in private prayer and in worship, particularly in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. This led naturally into creating my own veils and subsequently to creating them for others. I feel particularly blessed to have the opportunity to create head coverings for praying women because I believe that praying women, through the power of Our Lord, can be a tremendous blessing to a broken world.
How do you come up with new designs and ideas for veils?
We try to "think outside the box" and create unique veils that will offer a variety of women choices that they love. We have been particularly inspired to create veils that women who are new to head covering can feel comfortable wearing. That was the impetus for the development of our Eternity Veil which can be worn as a scarf and then discreetly pulled up over the head to form a veil. We also create a variety of chapel veils which have long enough sides to allow "kerchief style" tying. We find that many women feel particularly at home wearing their veils in this fashion, rather than allowing them to hang free.
We are blessed to have women from a variety of Christian backgrounds as customers. Some of our ladies choose to wear head coverings on a daily basis for reasons related to modesty, and/or to augment their devotional and prayer lives. Often, those who purchase head coverings for daily wear choose from our cotton headscarves, which are similar to wide headbands, or our more casual triangle-shaped kerchief style in lovely prints.
How do you combine your work and your family life?
Our work is very much intertwined with our family life. Once upon a time, we had a lovely dining room and formal living room. Now, instead, we have a former dining room table which serves as a cutting table, a sideboard which stores trims and packing materials, and a space brimming with lace and fabric. Everyone in the family participates in responding to inquiries, managing orders, creating veils, and packaging our creations for shipment.
This is absolutely contemplative work. I find repetitive stitching to be an excellent vehicle for contemplative prayer. We also pin the name of the recipient on the each veil as soon as the lace it cut. That name follows the head covering through to completion, allowing us to pray for the recipient every time her veil is in our hands.
What's the product you are most excited about in your shop right now?
We have enjoyed creating a variety of Eternity Veils. Finding new laces and fabrics for them is exciting. We also love making our matching child and doll veil sets. Creating special veils for little girls and their dolls is always fun.
Click around the lovely Etsy site and find your favorite veil. Leave a comment and tell us which one you like best. You might just win it! We'll give away one up to a $42 value.
The winner is
The Dark Chocolate Eternity Veil is my favorite...but really they are all beautiful!

Bus to Lake Wauburg to resume Saturdays on Jan. 18
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Because of demand from University of Florida students, a shuttle bus from the main campus to Lake Wauburg will be offered each Saturday until the end of June, excluding breaks and holidays.
Beginning Jan. 18, students can catch RTS Route 128 every hour from the Reitz Student Union between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The last shuttle will leave Lake Wauburg at 5 p.m.
Students must bring their Gator 1 cards to ride the buses and enter the recreational area.
Regional Transit System spokesman Chip Skinner said the shuttle used to run some time ago, but it was discontinued due to low ridership. The university is able to fund the new route without increasing student transportation fees.
The route is not linked with a GPS like other RTS buses, so the shuttle will not show up on the TransLoc bus route app. However, printed maps or online bus schedules are available.

Connaughton set to step down at MarAd
Because of the change in administration, Sean T. Connaughton's tenure as Maritime Administrator will end on January 20, 2009. At that time, Mr. James E. Caponiti, the agency's Assistant Administrator, will become Acting Deputy Maritime Administrator.
Mr. Caponiti is a member of the federal government's Senior Executive Service. He was named Assistant Administrator in May 2008; prior to that, he served as the agency's Associate Administrator for National Security.
President Bush had nominated Mr. Connaughton to be a Federal Maritime Commissioner. That nomination died in committee when the 110th Congress ended--along with the nominations of many other Bush appointees who had hoped to "burrow in" to the next administration.

TRENTON – Legislation to toughen the penalty for an airport security breach was approved 40-0 Thursday by the Senate, giving it final legislative approval.
The bill (A-606) was introduced after a 2010 incident at Newark Liberty International Airport involving a 28-year-old a Rutgers University graduate student who slipped under a security ribbon after a guard briefly left his post to give his girlfriend a goodbye kiss. The security breach was not immediately noticed, but it caused the terminal to be shut down for six hours after it was. The student was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and a $658 fine, but would have faced a much harsher penalty under the new bill.
The new law would establish a crime of entering into restricted airport property in violation of federal security requirements.
The bill sets forth two restricted areas on public airports.
The first area, a "sterile area," is defined as any portion of an airport that provides passengers access to boarding aircraft and to which the access generally is controlled by the Transportation Security Administration, an aircraft operator or an air carrier, through the screening of persons and property.
The second area, an "operational area," is defined as any portion of a public airport, from which access by the public is prohibited by fences or appropriate signs.
The bill provides that any person who trespasses in these areas in violation of federal security requirements is guilty of a fourth degree crime. A crime of the fourth degree is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment for a term of up to 18 months, or both.
The measure now goes to the governor.

Earlier this year, the FreeBSD Foundation and iXsystems jointly awarded Bjoern Zeeb a grant to create an IPv6-only version of the FreeBSD and PC-BSD open source operating systems."
Production ready?

Obviously, we will need IPv6 equipment and an ISP that uses IPv6, but other than that we should be able to run the apps we are currently running, correct? Apps that use IPv4 will not run and those that offer IPv6 support will be hit-or-miss, depending on how well the IPv6 support is written, which is the purpose of the IPv6-only version of FreeBSD.

- Imaginary Authors fragrance for men or women
- Draws on coastal forest notes of fir, pine, and hemlock
- Great to wear at hayrides, beach parties, picnics, or any outdoor activity
For a scent as big as the pines and mountains of the Pacific Northwest, splash on Imaginary Authors Cape Heartache. Imagine yourself in the rugged Cascade range, ringed in by the big trees and peaks of "God's country."
This fragrance evokes hiking to a wooded cabin with a roaring fire, crunching over pine needles, while wrapped in flannel and fog. The crisp, green notes of Douglas fir, pine resin, western hemlock, and old growth are tempered by the sweet warmth of vanilla leaf and strawberry. Like going back to a time when the earth felt new, this scent refreshes your senses and beckons you to find the road less traveled. Let your longing for the unfamiliar lead you to wild places as you adventure into life with Cape Heartache.
As with all Imaginary Authors' fragrances, it can be worn by anyone with an adventuresome spirit - man or woman. Like your favorite sweater, wear it whenever you step into the great outdoors: a bonfire, hayride, beach party, picnic, or rainy day hike.

Got zeros? Polynomials do! Multiplicity of Zeros (Day 3 of 3)
Lesson 7 of 15
Objective: SWBAT• Determine the degree of the polynomial functions and the effect the degree has upon the end behavior of the functions. • Write possible equations for a polynomial function, given information about its zeros. • Write the equations in factored form, given the graphs of three functions.
Big Idea: Using Nspire Calculators, students investigate the relationships of polynomial functions, their degree, end behaviors, zeros and x-intercepts.
To warm-up students' brains today and get them back focused on today's task, review their new learning about zeros of a function with the clicker question on page 2 of the flipchart - Multiplicity of Zeros Day 3(p. 1-2).
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Students should continue their work on the Student Handout - Multiplicity_of_Zeros_of_Functions.
It is important that students are able to accurately answer question 6 before they will be able to identify the relationship between the x-intercepts/zeros and the factored form of a polynomial and write the factored form of the polynomial equation from a graph (and thus meet the learning target!) So as students are working today I will be checking their answers to that question. If students ask for help on this question or have the incorrect answer, I will take them all the way back to question 3 and 4 to insure there is a correct answer there as these two questions build to develop the understandings of the connection between factors and zeros and the connection between factors with exponents and the graph, which is needed for question 6.
Resources (2)
To wrap up and help students solidify the understandings they were supposed to pull from this lesson have students answer the Clicker Questions on pages 3-5 of the flipchart. I am going to have students work independently on these questions so I can assess the current progress of individual students so far.

Georgia Takes First Round Lead In Toledo
May 27, 2009
Courtesy of Georgia Athletics
TOLEDO, Ohio --- "Survival."
That was the word Georgia men's golf coach Chris Haack used to describe his team's opening round Thursday at the NCAA Championship - a round in which the Bulldogs grabbed the first-day lead.
Top-ranked Georgia shot a 4-over-par 288 on the Inverness Club's challenging par-71, 7,155-yard layout. The Bulldogs were matched by Oklahoma State, and they share a four-shot advantage over Chattanooga.
Inverness has played host to four U.S. Opens, two PGA Championships, a U.S. Amateur and a U.S. Senior Open. Weather also was a factor as the Toledo area was hit by early morning rain and windy conditions throughout the day.
"This is a golf course that tests all aspects of your game," Haack said. "We are fortunate that we have five guys with experience, and that experience paid off today. It was tough out there. Judging by the scores for some very good teams, it's obvious this course can jump up and bite you. Fortunately, we had our guys play some good, solid golf - and that's what you've got to have here."
The NCAAs has a different format this season in that all 30 teams will play 54 holes Tuesday through Thursday, with the low eight teams then advancing to match play on Friday. According to Georgia's players, having a strong opening round should pay dividends if the Bulldogs are one of those eight teams.
"I'm happy that we got our confidence up on the first day," said sophomore Russell Henley, who posted an even-par 71. "It's a tough golf course, but we know now that we can make it through successfully. We just need to keep it going."
"We knew the better we did today, the higher our confidence would be," said junior Hudson Swafford, who signed for a 2-over 73. "This is like qualifying to get to match play, but we still hoped to make a statement by playing well. We want to be No. 1 for the match play tournament."
Henley and senior Brian Harman led the Bulldogs with even-par 71s, two shots behind Jonathan Bowers of Northwestern, Scott Langley of Illinois and Matt Hill of North Carolina State. Swafford and sophomore Harris English each had 2-over 73s, while senior Adam Mitchell had the Bulldogs' non-counting score of 8-over 79.
"Our guys didn't overthink this golf course today," Haack said. "We talked about it coming in. We said, 'It's just golf and we just need to hit our shots.' Simple as that."
The Bulldogs will tee off at 7 a.m. on Wednesday with their counterparts from Arizona State and UCLA, which opened at 10-over and 22-over, respectively. Live scoring, tee times and pairings can be found at golfstat.com.

A Trick of the Light That night, lightning knitted her a new face. When the thunder slapped her ancestral home, the current traced the floor to her teenage feet. She was darning socks on the corner chair. Six days earlier the family photo had preserved her still pretty face in one flash. Brothers and sisters wearing matching pyjamas and borrowed shoes, posed with red books, which appeared black. Today, when she looked at her aging siblings and their offspring, she did not see herself. She was the constant stranger whose face did not belong. Their relentless kids hid and sought in the shadows of the antique house, while illuminated pigeons pecked at bread crumbs she left in the courtyard. There were rare moments, when the sunlight shone on the tip of her nose. The only part that was not utterly changed, they said. In those seconds, she no longer felt estranged, as if given back her youth.
The Luminous Politics of Travel She sits on the edge of light looking away with the ten thousand things in her mind. This is Venice, 2013. And the yellow boat across her in the Rio de Miracoli pinned by the morning rays to its moor has sped off already to the ponte Santa Maria Nova trailed by quiet spumes of forking waves. Behind her in the dark and narrow landing, a colourful but unused beach umbrella brought in to measure the distance between opposite walls, has multiplied itself already into thousands of hand- carried and handmade yellow umbrellas in Hong Kong a year later where it remains unfolded and is shield and symbol both at once, sheltering new and hidden suns with its thousand shades behind barricades and barbed wires on unpassable and untrodden roads. 1 December 2014

Raytheon Missile Systems Company - Tucson, AZ
Original Date: 09/14/1998
Revision Date: 01/18/2007
Raytheon Missile Systems Company (RMSC) established the Risk Management process as a proactive method to predict potential problems and risks, and effectively mitigate the risks by controlling the process, developing strategies, and addressing issues early in a program. This process enables RMSC to develop and deliver systems that meet customer requirements on schedule and within budget. Risk management is now a part of the monthly metrics required for all programs per RMSC's IPA. In the past, RMSC used a reactive method, which often led to crisis management and insufficient time to implement the optimum solution.
Risk management begins with a basic process which is tailored to a specific program. The process relies on customer needs, lessons learned, expert opinions, and existing management guidelines to develop a specific risk management plan that retains the essential principles of the standard process. Risks are then identified, analyzed, and prioritized using various tools to address the differing aspects (e.g., cost and schedule simulations, process analysis, predictive identification). RMSC's main tool is Risk Manager (based on Filemaker Pro with Risk Register and Risk Matrix components) for planning, ranking, and controlling risk. This tool is used to encompass all the risks and criteria found with other commercial and government off-the-shelf risk tools. Prioritization is achieved by determining the probability and consequence of occurrence in order to calculate a risk factor for every identified risk.
Once RMSC prioritizes the program risks, risk reduction begins. The company develops mitigation plans to reduce the risk areas, which are tracked and reported weekly in IPTs and other program events. Risk Manager can output a series of differing reports, including a one-page summary graphic that shows probability of occurrence versus severity of occurrence, and plots the top ten risks as high, medium and low. The Risk Management process continues throughout the life cycle of the program, with ongoing management of risks and identification of new risks being done at each stage of development.
At the start of the ESSM program, RMSC had erroneously estimated that an additional $45 million in funding would be necessary to complete the project. However, after implementing the Risk Management process and having the customer prioritize the requirements, RMSC was able to fulfill the ESSM program without additional funding. Since implementing the Risk Management process, RMSC significantly improved customer satisfaction as reflected in its 85% or higher (outstanding level) award fee rating across all programs. The Navy has also requested RMSC to use Risk Manager plots for all design reviews of the Standard Missile programs.

As "Spiderman" the Spectacle careens toward its opening, despite costly delays, a cacophony of controversies, serious human and technical mishaps and injuries, it looks likely to be a critic proof hit, in terms of paying off its producers and insurance premiums. Perhaps the endangerment or public death of some "Spiderpeople" will assure its ticket sales even further. But the toll that it's taking on talented performers, and Broadway theater puts me in a state of PTSD as I recall the weeks preceding the opening (and quick closing) of my first Broadway show.
In 1972 I was cast in the bleeding edge sci fi rock opera "Via Galactica," starring Raul Julia and Irene Cara. I was totally green and not just in the color of the body paint I wore in my role as Geologist on a newly inhabited planet. I was one of many idealistic unknowns who committed to the show. The "knowns" -- the gifted Galt MacDermott, the ingenious British designer John Bury, the not yet knighted Peter Hall, couldn't have had better pedigrees for approaching a piece of such ambition: there was a space ship that sailed over the orchestra; trampolines cratered into the stage to bounce us like 'low gravity' might, and a massive rocket tail would blast us all off at the show's end in quadraphonic sound. We were thrilled to be part of such groundbreaking ambitions.
The brand new Uris Theater (now called the Gershwin), the largest house on the Great White Way was being rigged for our big entrance, on the heels of an experimental show called "Dude" having just been the biggest bomb Broadway had yet seen at about a million bucks. Our budget was exceeding that and counting. And in week five, all us ensemble kids knew we were in trouble. It wasn't just from the ankles sprained by hooking onto craters' edges as we leapt in elaborate dance routines; the body paints that didn't wash off; not just because the rocket ship crashed through a trampoline into the bowels of the Uris in rehearsal, with we screaming actors sustaining physical and psychic wounds.
We knew the book was drowning in Dadaisms. The story was obscured by lyrics that led to nothing but momentary moods as gorgeous mic'ed voices merged with Galt's music. The simple high concept one liner must've sounded great when pitched to the producer, but the execution moved folks to jeers at previews, nearly killed many involved, and indirectly led to one dancer's death.
Led by a charming Raul Julia as an intergalactic garbageman, and belting Irene Cara as the flying Narrator, the cast, many in casts masked by clever costumes, dwindled as we approached opening, our spirits plummeting as rumors spread. Was this opening night the pinnacle for which I'd danced so desperately, studied with Stella, sung my lungs out? The dehumanizing diplomacy of our director and producers inducing us to endure the risks with promises of improved effects, increased hazard pay and respectful reviews was depressing. They didn't really care a fig for our safety in their 'show must go on' fervor. We had to believe they were delusional rather than deceitful, as all leaders in irreversible crises must sometimes be. We had to believe because we needed the the paycheck, and the Broadway credit.
Bravo to "Spiderman's" innovators. Julie Taymor is a genius, Bono is a good god among men. The Cirque de Soleil style has spawned a new dawn of Olympian athleticism and derring do drowning out any need for a compelling human story. They are all mood makers extraordinaire in a new era in art that intends to keep us in hyper-adrenal shock and awe. But this is not the Broadway theater I knew and loved, whose plays purged us with their Aristotelian catharses. It's a theater that aims to compete with 3D Imax movies, the Superbowl, and natural disasters in impact.
Having had electrodes applied to capture the motion of my body and e-motion of my face for roles, having watched how appealing computer generated creatures have become, how powerful the Pixar product is, I know where entertainment is headed. It'll be way cool. But, I fear today's children will never know how to suspend disbelief and use their imaginations to meet artists halfway in simply good stories. I dread that plainly eloquent actors in tender well written tales will become passe. Replaceable robot parts and auto-tuned digitized deliveries will be preferable to the vulnerable, visceral, fragile, imperfect humanity of dancers, singers and actors. And technologically gifted wiz kids will be the real stars of stage as well as screen.
As artists' human gifts are negated, masked so that we're interchangeable objects like pawns on a playing board, as we contribute our souped up voices to iconic virtual images, as more of us are willing to sacrifice our lives and limbs at far smaller fees than football stars, most of us will become disposable.

Cardinal Arinze: not even Church authority can break the marriage bond
Cardinal Francis Arinze, the retired prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, took a firm stand against changing Church teaching regarding marriage and the reception of the Eucharist, in an interview with the Crux news site.
Marriage creates an indissoluble bond, the Nigerian cardinal insisted, and "not even the authority of the Church can break it." He added: "We cannot improve on what Christ has said… We cannot be more merciful than Christ."
"The Eucharist is not something we possess, and we can give to our friends and those with whom we sympathize," the cardinal continued.
Cardinal Arinze saw the growing influence of the Church in Africa as a welcome counterweight to the secularizing influence of wealthy countries. He remarked: "The richer countries may have more money, but they shouldn't turn themselves into professors of moral theology just because other countries are poor."

Dmx's recent naked streak through a Detroit, Michigan hotel was part of a "playful dare between friends", according to his representative.
The Party Up (Up In Here) star, who has struggled with drug addiction for years, hit the headlines on Monday (09Sep13) after video footage of himself running completely nude around the corridors of a hotel emerged online.
The clip was shot hours before he performed at the city's Return of the Legends gig with Eve and Lil' Kim on 31 August (13).
A statement released to AllHipHop.com reads: "X and the team were killing time at the hotel before the concert and dared each other to streak in the hallway. No one was aware that security cameras were rolling and it was just a playful dare between friends."
When asked about the incident by editors at TMZ.com, DMX claimed he just "felt like" stripping off, adding, "I'm not ashamed of anything I got."
Meanwhile, DMX is set to sit down for an hour-long interview with TV therapist Dr. Phil McGraw to discuss his personal troubles and his faith in God. The candid chat will be taped for the Dr. Phil show in Los Angeles on Monday (16Sep13) and air at a later date.

842 Washingtonia filiferaCommon Names: California fan palm, desert fan palm, American cotton palm, cotton palm, Washington palm, desert palm Family: Arecacea (palm Family)
Stately and distinctive, the California fan palm is one of the most widely grown palms in subtropical climates. California fan palm can grow 60 ft (18.3 m) tall with a crown spread of 15 ft (4.6 m). The massive gray trunk is barrel shaped and ringed with old leaf scars, and may reach over 3 ft (0.9 m) in diameter at its widest point. California fan palm can have up to thirty gray-green palmate (fan-shaped) leaves, each 3-6 ft (0.9-1.8 m) across. They spread out to form a loose and open crown. The petioles (leaf stems) of mature palms are armed along the margins with curved thorns; those of young palms are largely unarmed. The individual leaflets are pendulous and swing freely in the wind. Abundant cotton-like threads on and between the leaflets persist even when the palm is mature. If old leaves are not removed, they form a continuous "petticoat" from the crown all the way to the ground. The California fan palm produces numerous branching flower clusters that project out and often downward from the leaf crown. The bisexual blossoms are white and yellow and give rise to oblong or round red-black fruit, each about a 0.5 in (1.3 cm) in diameter. The fruits of California fan palm contain a single seed, approximately 1/4 in (0.6 cm) in diameter.
The Mexican fan palm (Washingtonia robusta) and the California fan palm are closely related and quite similar. They differ in subtle characteristics, and even palm experts have trouble telling them apart. This table provides some distinguishing characteristics:
|Washingtonia filifera
(California fan palm)
|Washingtonia robusta
(Mexican fan palm)
|Petioles (leafstems) of young palms
|are green and relatively unarmed (no thorns)
|are brown and distinctly thorny
|Basal sheath (bottom of the base of the leaf blade)
|does NOT have a bright tawny-colored patch
|has a bright tawny-colored patch
|Crown (of mature specimens)
|has leaves in a loose and open arrangement
|is dense and compact
|are pendulous and swinging (not stiff), and the cottony threads persist
|are stiff and their cottony threads fall off with age
|is barrel shaped and the palm rarely exceeds 60' in height
|is slender (slightly swollen at the base) and can get 100 ft (30.5 m) tall
California fan palm, Washingtonia filifera, grows naturally in desert and arid regions, along streams and canyons, and in open areas where groundwater is present in southern California, western Arizona, and Baja California in Mexico.
CultureThis widely grown palm succeeds admirably in a wide range of soils and climates. California fan palm can grow in extreme alkaline soils that have a pH as high as 9.2. Even large California fan palms can be successfully transplanted. California fan palms respond very well to fertilizer. A slow release fertilizer may be used during the summer growing season. Some growers fertilize their palms monthly with a general purpose plant food or a plant food specifically formulated for palms. One enthusiast used a monthly application of Miracle Grow fertilizer to grow a California fan palm with a trunk diameter of 40 in (101.6 cm) - the largest known. The vigorous and robust California fan palm is considered very disease and pest resistant, and is quite resistant to lethal yellowing disease. As with other palms, potassium and magnesium deficiencies may occur in California fan palms and mineral supplements should be administered in recommended amounts to prevent or treat such deficiencies. Light: California fan palm prefers exposure to full sun and even quite small specimens will thrive in full sun. It also grows well in part sun/shade. Moisture: Once established, California fan palm is drought tolerant, but it benefits greatly with regular watering. For optimal growth, soil should be moist with good drainage. Hardiness: USDA Zones 8 - 11. Established California fan palms can withstand frosts and freezes. Reports of cold hardiness for the California fan palm indicate the tree withstands 15 to 20ºF (-9.4 to -6.7ºC) with only minor foliage damage. Many enthusiasts are now growing and recommending the California fan palm in USDA Zone 8A. Mature and established plants have survived -11º F (-11.7ºC), but such very low temperatures can be expected to cause major and significant foliage damage. Palms in fast-draining soil are more cold hardy. During the winter, leaves may become temporarily discolored by damp cold and frost. California fan palms can withstand extreme heat, too, including temperatures up to 127ºF (52.8ºC). Propagation: California fan palm is easy to grow from seed. Even old seeds are reported to germinate well. Germination is considered so easy that young plants may become weeds under mature palms.
Plant California fan palm outdoors in a site that can accommodate the large head of leaves, and is not directly under power lines or other structures. Use the California fan palm in natural and formal groupings and in large open areas. California fan palm is perfect for street, avenue and parkland planting where it typically is spaced about 30 ft (9.1 m) apart. Young California fan palms also can be grown in pots or tubs on decks or in indoor areas, such as conservatories or atriums that have bright light.
The California fan palm has numerous fine attributes including cold hardiness, fast growth and drought and salt resistance. This palm is inexpensive, adapts to most soils, is easy to grow and transplant, and is very hardy. The genus was named in honor of George Washington. The species name, filifera, comes from both Latin and Greek words meaning thread-bearing.

A new roof is on the way for the Robertson building downtown. It comes with a nearly $44,000 price tag that the tourism commission will pay.
"The building can be great things for the community," Laurie Smith, city administrator, said. "We're looking at a lot of potential in terms of grant availability, and where we can do some great things for our community."
The city received the building as a gift recently, and the city council has been discussing the possibility of fixing the leaking roof.

By Ellen Freilich
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Some fathers are in the delivery room when their children are born and some pace outside, but actress Anjelica Huston's dad learned of his daughter's birth by telegram in the Belgian Congo where he was filming "The African Queen."
That circumstance foreshadows an extraordinary childhood with an often absent father that Huston, who won the best supporting actress Academy Award in 1986 for "Prizzi's Honor" - a film directed by her father, shares in her memoir, "A Story Lately Told: Coming of Age in Ireland, London, and New York."
If a storytelling gene exists, Huston, 62, inherited one from her father, the Oscar-winning director John Huston, and another from her mother, the ballet dancer Enrica Soma, who nurtured in her children a love of books and a gift for observation.
Huston spoke to Reuters about her childhood, growing up in a rambling 18th-century estate in Ireland that her father had purchased, and writing her memoir by hand.
Q: In your memoir you quote an excerpt from one of your mother's letters. "The sky has blazed blue, the remaining few Beech leaves are brazen against the sky," she writes to your father. She was a wonderful writer.
A: Yes, her language is so beautiful - and so unusual. It's incredibly reminiscent of her. That's why it was such a pleasure to be around her and have her point things out to us.
Q: Her exceptional gift for language seems to have influenced you.
A: I certainly hope so. I think it came from both of my parents, my mother and also my father, who wrote on every screenplay that he directed. He was tremendously aware of language and a very literate person.
My mother, though, was there much, much more during my childhood than my father. She nurtured me and my love of literature and books and poetry. She had a great sense of humor and made great selections. She really formed the way that I think and respond to things. ... She was always telling us, "Look at this. Look at that." Life was a big feast for her and she really enjoyed it.
Q: What were some of the books you read as a young girl?
A: "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" was huge. "Grimm's Fairy Tales," "Orlando (The Marmalade Cat)," the Madeline books, the Tolkien books, though I never responded to "The Hobbit." I was a Louisa May Alcott girl: "Little Women," "Little Men," "Jo's Boys," "An Old Fashioned Girl." Also, Frances Hodgson Burnett's "The Secret Garden." I loved those Gothic romances.
My mother gave me the French writer Colette when I was 13. "The Vagabond," "Cherie," those were my coming-of-age books. That was a rare and wonderful thing.
Q: It was interesting to read how your parents restored the estate in St. Clerans (in Craughwell, County Galway) and the care your mother took designing its interior. Given her own theatrical experience as a dancer in the New York City Ballet, it almost seems as if she was designing a stage set.
A: What's slightly extraordinary in retrospect was her deep understanding of period, of color, of contrast. How did she know how to do all of that? I don't know because she didn't have any training in that area. She made the most beautiful house for my father. It was a set, but it was more than that. The house was really comfortable and luxurious.
Q: You wrote your memoir in longhand. Why?
A: There's something about the brain-to-hand connection that really works for me. The amount of time it takes for a thought to transfer to my hand is good timing. The brain-to-hand thing is a little bit of a dance. It works. It's rhythmic, and it flows.
Q: How did you deal with your father's long work schedule?
A: We hated it when he left. I remember my brother and I dreading when that awful day would come. Usually it was around Christmas because that's when we'd see him. If we were lucky - and he'd finished the movie he was directing - we'd get a glimpse of him in the summer. But when he left after coming home for Christmas, it was connected to the sadness of Christmas being over.
I remember us clinging to his legs as he made his way to the car which would take off down the driveway and we would hear that gravel crunch. It was really upsetting. We hated it. And you'd be in a funk for a day. ... His absence made it seem as if the shine had gone off the silver.
Q: You recount that Peter O'Toole visited your home when you were a child. You recently met him again. Now that he has died, what do you remember most about him?
A: The remarkable vulnerability of those blue eyes, the soul of a poet and one of the most beautiful voices in the English language.
(Editing by Eric Kelsey, Patricia Reaney and Leslie Adler)

Outstanding start to a new seriesI have not had the pleasure of reading anything by this author. As a reader and reviewer I was pleased with this author and her writing style of giving her readers a very entertaining read. I got lost from the first few pages and could not put this down. One lady is on the marriage market for a husband her parents have pick one man she has picked another only the other hasn't asked for her hand. A man who has loved deeply and lost promises never to love again, when he is put in a place of honor he offers to marry the lady but he will never love her. Can these two come together not only build a marriage but a love of a life time. Both have much to learn about love, happiness and marriage. Adeline parent want her to marry the awful Edmond, she has no desire to after he overstepped his self. She wants to marry Mr. Artwood but he doesn't seem to be in the same mind as she. Leaving little choice to find her own husband who must be a Lord or marry the abusive earl. I am sure you guessed which one way she went. Things didn't go as easy as she has planned. Instead of going in the man's room she wanted she accidentally ended up in the duke of Wolverton room and his bed. You can imagine how shock they both were. With the scandal breaking out she thinks she is ruined Edmond the duke of Wolverton who they say is a mad man comes forward offering to marry her. She has little choice but to take him up on his offer. This is where things get really interesting. Edmond needs a wife who will be a mother to his daughters. He will not give a part of his self to anther women after losing the love of his life in child birth but he will do his best to give his daughters the best mother he can find. Things do not go as he plans he thinks she will jump at the chance but the lady has other plans. You will have to read to find out just how things will go when two people who are very attracted to each other are in the danger of falling down the path of passionate and love. I thought this was very well written with wonderful characters you can relate to in a time when things were not easy and one must play by the rules of society or face ruination never to be able to face those who judge you. Poor Edmond is a man after your heart he has lost so much in return has lost his self. He has so much to give if he would only open his self up and let someone warm his heart. Adel has a way about her that opens a person up giving them meaning and a reason to wake up each morning. Adel is my hero for standing her ground not giving in to her parents and their demands but going for what she wanted even if that was what she truly didn't know she wanted. When things do not go as planned she takes that in stride and goes toward making the best of it but still standing up to her dreams. The author gives you a well balanced story full of passion, pain, sorrow, dreams, wants and needs. You have some very heated steamy scenes full of sexual tension, the chemistry is powerful and strong. This was a delightful read from start to finish giving the read everything a true romance has to offer. You will not be disappointed as this author takes you away making you wish you could be part of the story. I hope you pick this up and give it a read. I am sure you will be as impressed as I was by this author.by Cyn on June 01, 2016

DelightfulThis was a wonderful read. I was captivated from the beginning and I read this book in one go, it was that good. I truly enjoyed Edmond and Adel, and the development of their relationship was well done. I loved the duke's children and the fact they were actually featured in the story.by Rabidreader on June 16, 2016

Absolutely splendid!Miss Adeline Hays, Adel, will not marry the vile Earl of Vale. Even when she told her father the Earl had brutalised her, he vehemently maintains she must marry Vale. Adel has decided that marrying her friend James Atwood is a much better option than the old depraved noble. She has concocted a scheme with a friend to go to James' room, while they are attending a ball at the Gladstones, and get them "slightly compromised" so that her father will have no choice but to have her marry James. Adel's father has refused James' proposals several times, but James has no idea of Adel's plans. Meanwhile, Edmond Rochester, the Duke of Wolverton arrives at the same ball; the "mad duke" is rumoured to have killed his wife a few years ago, gossip precedes him, but he doesn't really care since his wife and son died. He's left with his two daughters: Sarah and Rosa; he lives in his Hampshire estate, in the country, which he much prefers to London. He does not want to marry for love again, once was enough, but his daughters are becoming difficult; they need a woman's influence, a mother. So at the party, Adel after imbibing a bit too much liquid courage, sneaks into what she believes is James' room. Edmond wakes up to a warm female form, and this is the start of this wonderful story as Adel and Edmond must marry. Often, this type of mistaken identity is cute, and is merely the set-up for what is to come; it serves little purpose other than getting our couple together, but in ACCIDENTALLY COMPROMISING THE DUKE, it is far from the case. With this incident, we really get the feel of who are Adel and Edmond. Adel's failed scheme gives way to delicious sensuality, the revelation of a betrayal, her consternation – and ours – at possible ruin, and how truly honourable Edmond is. I had barely begun the book that I wanted to read it all right away, and life kept interfering. ACCIDENTALLY COMPROMISING THE DUKE is engrossing right from the very first pages, and my heart broke for Adel, at the unfairness of her situation, the lack of support from her family; she really is in a pickle, even before her mishap. The writing is truly sublime, Ms. Reid seemingly with only a few words so easily conveys the emotional state of Adel. Adel comes off as convincingly slightly unconventional, and I was truly charmed at how the relationship evolved. Adel is resigned to her sorry state but she is a strong woman, she deals with her situation as best as she can, but she holds her own, and her growing attraction to Edmond is much complicated by his attitude. ACCIDENTALLY COMPROMISING THE DUKE is truly splendid, the characters are very complex, and the story holds many surprises. A superb story that was so, so much more than I expected! I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.by Monique D on May 30, 2016

I can't wait for moreI have to admit that it took what felt like 5 minutes to get thru this story – I just couldn't put it down and it was such an addictive read, so smooth. We start off with Adel's dilemma and with the help of a friend she plots to get a different husband, one of her choice. Unfortunately her plotting doesn't go quite the way she wants. Enter the Mad Duke. He's in search of a wife, one that he won't love like he did his first wife. Which brings him to the same house party as Adel, to ask for the hand of her friend ... who doesn't want to marry him. Yeah, this is going to turn out just fine. As expected, Adel does get herself a different husband, just not the one she anticipated. Even with the bad start, Adel and Edmond develop a fantastic relationship. Unfortunately he's got some troubles left over from his first marriage and the death of his wife. It's good that Adel is intelligent and kind hearted because she's going to need every bit of it to handle him as he works through his fears. Reid does a fantastic job of describing how he ended up in this spot and why he feels the way he does. She's deft enough to do it and take us along for every enjoyable (and sometimes heartbreaking) moment. If the first book in the series is this good, I can't wait for the rest!

Excellent read!This was a great book! I am new to Stacy Reid and love the story. A historical romance at its best with every emotion to scoop you into a world of love, betrayal, heartache, happiness and all the rest. It drew me in from the very beginning. I am now curious about the dukes best friend and lady Evelyn. There is no cliffhanger and not necessary to read the next book, but I really want to know their story. So.... I'm on to the next one, Wicked in His Arms.by MichelleR on October 06, 2017
