Nearly 800 residents have been listed in the incorrect district with both the Bibb County Board of Elections and state websites for the Sept. 17 election to choose the new Macon-Bibb County consolidated government.
Bibb County Elections Supervisor Jeanetta Watson confirmed Thursday that 788 voters were listed in District 2 when they should have been listed in District 3. Watson said she has spoken with the Georgia Secretary of State's Office and Bibb County Attorney Virgil Adams about the situation, and elections officials had corrected the problem Thursday.
Besides the early voting issues, 20 absentee ballots containing incorrect voter information had already been sent out, said Jared Thomas, a spokesman for the Secretary of State's Office. Thomas said the elections board already has sent letters to those people informing them of the error, along with correct ballots.
Thomas said ultimately it will be the Bibb County Board of Elections that determines what steps need to be taken to correct the situation. However, some residents already have cast ballots in the incorrect district during the early voting period.
Bibb County Board of Elections Vice Chairman Steve Allen said it was "an unfortunate thing," but those votes can't be taken back because the county doesn't have the power to remove someone's vote.
Macon City Councilwoman Nancy White, whose parents live across the street from her aunt and uncle off Gray Highway near Jones County, said those family members all live in District 3. While her parents ended up voting in the correct district -- despite having incorrect voter information cards and having to inform elections officials about the error -- her aunt and uncle were unaware of the issue and voted in the District 2 race.
"I had spoken to Jeanetta Watson (earlier this week), but the board of elections continued to let this error go unchecked," White said. "(Early voting) should have been halted Wednesday morning. I'm terribly disappointed. This is very troubling for the candidates running for those offices."
It was White who alerted fellow Councilman Larry Schlesinger that there was a potential problem. Schlesinger, who is running in the District 2 commission race against fellow Councilman Henry Ficklin and Paul Bronson, said Thursday he became aware of a potential issue Tuesday when White told him that her parents got a robocall from Ficklin's campaign. Schlesinger told White he also was sending out robocalls.
Schlesinger checked with his campaign consultant, who confirmed that the calls were only supposed to go to District 2 residences. The consultant, Josh White, told Schlesinger he used information from the Secretary of State's website to determine who lived in the district.
Thomas said it is currently an open investigation as to how the error occurred. He noted that the elections board self-reported the problem to the state. Officials are checking to see how many of the 788 affected voters have already cast ballots, but added a decision hasn't been made on what will be done with the ballots.
Watson said early voting was continuing while officials worked to correct the issue. She said that 1,891 people already have voted through Wednesday during the early voting period.
Thomas and Allen said that similar issues occur every time there is redistricting. Thomas said there was a similar problem last year during Fulton County's elections.
The other District 2 candidates were informed of the issue Thursday morning. Attempts to reach Ficklin were unsuccessful, but Bronson said he is hopeful the issue will soon be resolved.
Macon City Councilwoman Elaine Lucas, who is running in the District 3 race, said she knows of a few people who have gotten the wrong ballots and voted. She said she's working with attorneys to make sure the errors are caught and corrected. She said she hasn't contemplated any legal action, but she wants to see the issue resolved soon. Lucas said she didn't think the error was deliberate.
"We need to find out where folks are registered," she said. "Right now, there is a lot of confusion. People don't have the right cards or are under the impression they should be voting in a different district. I'm in favor of making these votes provisional and look at the ballots. There needs to be something done immediately."
Lucas' opponent, former Bibb County Board of Education member Terry Tripp, didn't know of the situation early Thursday afternoon. She said there wasn't anything she could do about it.
"I trust and believe the board of elections is going to correct things," she said. "It's out of my hands."
A different districting issue was corrected by the elections board before early voting took place. Residents of the Magnolia Manor senior housing -- where Allen's mother-in-law lives -- received voting cards informing them that they were in District 5. However, the manor is located in District 9. While the cards were wrong, Allen said their names were listed in the computers in the correct district. Allen said elections officials informed residents by letter of the error before early voting began Monday.

Majority of BlackBerry Trade-Ins at T-Mobile Switch to Apple iPhone
Published on: 5th Mar 2014
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
T Mobile USA's controversial offer to BlackBerry customers to trade their phones in for an Apple iPhone appears to have worked for the mobile network.
A leaked memo indicated that the mobile network has seen a 15-fold increase in old BlackBerry handsets being traded in.
Even after the deal was changed following an outcry to include a migration offer to a newer BlackBerry phone, the majority of the customers handed over an old BlackBerry phone and walked out with a new iPhone.
The memo didn't specify numbers, but did say that 94% of the trade-ins involved the customer choosing the iPhone over a new BlackBerry handset.
"Today is the last day of our limited time BlackBerry trade-in program, which was created to provide additional value as well as customer choice for our loyal BlackBerry customers," a T-Mobile spokesman said in a statement. "The program has been extremely popular, offering a trade-in value of $200 to $250 toward the purchase of a new device, driving a 15 fold increase in BlackBerry trade-ins."

JPMorgan Chase & Co. may settle regulators probes into the banks credit-card debt collection practices and sales of identity-theft products as early as next week, said two people with knowledge of the matter.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau plan to fine the bank less than $80 million for both matters, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. JPMorgan, the largest U.S. lender by assets, is also near an agreement with U.S. and U.K. regulators who have been investigating its $6.2 billion trading loss last year, one of the people said.
Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon met in Washington yesterday with U.S. Comptroller of the Currency Thomas Curry to update the agency on the banks activities and its compliance with various regulatory orders, according to two people who asked not to be named because the talks were private.
The bank is facing a crescendo of activity in past weeks, and we are reacting to that where it makes sense, Chief Financial Officer Marianne Lake told investors Sept. 9 in announcing that the firm would boost legal reserves by more than $1.5 billion in the quarter to resolve litigation and other potential claims.
Dimon, who also visited lawmakers on Capitol Hill, meets almost monthly with Curry and other regulators, said one of the people. Some of the banks board members were also in Washington and put in calls to regulators this week as JPMorgan tries to repair its relations with its supervisors, two people said.
The OCC is among regulators, also including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.K.s Financial Conduct Authority, preparing to fine the bank after an investigation into its record trading loss in London last year, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said in August. The OCC and Federal Reserve censured JPMorgan without monetary penalties in January for the debacle, which cost the firm more than $6.2 billion.
JPMorgan has added 3,000 employees to bolster internal controls and compliance, Lake said. The company has said it stopped selling identity-theft products in 2011 and refunded all affected customers.
Dimon, 57, also joined Goldman Sachs Group Inc. CEO Lloyd C. Blankfein, 58, at a client event hosted by Carlyle Group LP yesterday, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. More than 1,000 guests attended, the person said.
Spokesmen for the OCC, Carlyle, JPMorgan declined to comment. Andrew Williams, a spokesman for New York-based Goldman Sachs, confirmed that Blankfein was at the event.

Magnolia Pictures and Red Envelope Entertainment have announced the joint acquisition of all North American rights to David Mackenzie's "Hallam Foe," which debuted earlier this year at the 2007 Berlinale. The film, starring Jamie Bell, Sophia Myles, and Claran Hinds, is described as the story of a voyeur who, in the words of an announcement, "driven to expose the true cause of his mother's death, he instead finds himself searching the rooftops of the city of Edinburgh for love." In a statement, company acquisutions head Tom Quinn enthused, "It's sexy, adventurous, intimate and delightful all at once. The scene stealing chemistry between Jamie Bell and Sophia Myles is sure to satisfy audiences everywhere." Quinn negotiated the pact alongside Magnolia head of business affairs Jason Janego, with Ana Ayesta and Andrew Orr from Independent. The company is planning a 2008 release. [Eugene Hernandez]

Illinois' doubles team of White, Kopinski advances to program's first quarterfinals
URBANA, Ill. -- Illinois senior Rachael White and sophomore Melissa Kopinski reached the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Doubles Championship on Friday at the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex, becoming the first Fighting Illini doubles team to advance past the Round of 16. With the win, the pair earned All-America recognition, marking Illinois' first All-Americans since Lindsey Nimmo in 1993.
"We came out with a game plan and I think it paid off," White said. "We knew that it was going to be a tough match. They gave us a good run, but we came out on top. We knew they were going to attack a lot, so we had to make sure we took over the net before they did. It's really an honor, but we don't want to celebrate too early because we still have a long way to go."
White and Kopinski, the 22nd-ranked duo in the nation, upset ninth-ranked Whitney Ritchie and Hermon Brhane of Oklahoma in a 6-4, 7-6(5) battle. The contest was a rematch of White and Kopinski's 9-7 win against the Sooner tandem in a dual match on Feb. 24.
"They played so controlled in the pressure situations," head coach Michelle Dasso said. "They dug deep and they believed. They went after their shots and played to win. It's such an honor for them to be All-Americans. I'm so proud of them. Getting a banner up in Atkins has been something I dreamed of since I got here. It's amazing on so many levels. They deserve it, and they earned it. Getting to play on their home court in front of their home crowd couldn't have been better."
The pair now leads the Illini with a 28-12 mark this season, tying the seventh-most doubles wins in a single season in Illinois history. White and Kopinski are only the second and third women's tennis All-Americans in school history and are the fourth Illini doubles team to play in the NCAA championships.
The duo will continue its run Saturday, taking on second-seeded Kaitlyn Christian and Sabrina Santamaria of USC. The Illini tandem will look to avenge an 8-5 loss to the Trojan combo in the quarterfinals of the Riviera/ITA All-American Doubles Championship in October.
"We know it's not over yet," Kopinski said. "We know we just have to take one match at a time and not get ahead of ourselves, but this is unreal."

Few items of your cycling wardrobe will get as much use as a good pair of arm warmers. Here's how to choose a good pair, and our pick of some of the best on the market
Whoever came up with the idea for arm warmers deserves a pat on the back. One of the most versatile pieces of cycling clothing, the humble pair of arm warmers are equally at home providing an extra layer of protection on freezing days beneath a heavy winter jacket as they are being pulled on to tackle a long Alpine descent at the height of summer.
>>> Buyer's guide to winter cycling gloves
For what may appear to be a very simple piece of clothing, the formula for the perfect arm warmer is surprisingly complex and difficult to solve, with manufacturers occasionally struggling to design a warmer that is tight enough to not fall down while not digging in, and also being long enough to cover the whole of your forearm without having baggy excess material.
>>> Buyer's guide to cycling bib shorts
Hopefully this test will help you in the search for that perfect pair of arm warmers, and once you do find that match made in heaven it's set to last. Each pair of warmers I've owned have lasted at least two years, and have only had to be replaced following crashes. So take a good look at the options, and ride off into the sunset.
Dress right for the Autumnal conditions
Our pick of the best arm warmers
Carney Reflective Sleeves arm warmers
Review score: 10/10
Launched via a Kickstarter campaign, Carney arm warmers are designed to provide 360° visibility to other road users via the use of tiny reflective beads which shine under headlights. They've got a good level of Elastane content, and a Roubaix like inner which we found warm and comfortable.
See the full review of the Carney Reflective Sleeves arm warmers here
Buy them at Carney for £29 here
Café du Cycliste Loulou Rain arm warmers
Review score: 9/10
Created with changeable conditions in mind, these arm warmers are fleece lined and water resistant, but breath well enough to prevent overheating. The forearm patch is reflective, too. We did find that as a warmer option, these didn't roll up so well in the pocket.

GripGrab Light arm warmers
Review score: 9/10
These lightweight arm warmers, when rolled, are almost half the size of a normal pair which makes them great for slipping into your pocket when out of use. We found them to be very breathable, and good for a range of temperatures – though there are probably better pairs for full-on wet and freezing winter days.

Sportful NoRain arm warmers
Review score: 10/10
Available in red or black, the NoRain arm warmers do what they say on the tin: they keep out the rain.
Made from a water resistant fabric, they provide enough insulation whilst still being breathable (unlike the Fiandre light version which impressed us less). We found the length spot on and the grippers held up well without digging in.

Defeet Armskin arm warmers
Review score: 9/10
Something a little different compared to the more robust options on the market, the ArmSkins are super light and made using CoolMax EcoMade fibre from recycled sources. They're warm, and incredibly breathable – as well as being available in a wide range of colours to brighten up any kit.
These aren't a good option for wet days – so best to slip a waterproof packable jacket in your pocket if rain is on the cards.

What to look for in arm warmers for cycling
There's no shame in the fact that, as a cyclist, you're unlikely to have the biggest biceps down the gym. For this reason any set of arm warmers worth their salt will have silicon grippers around the upper hem to prevent them from slipping down.
With those skinny arms of yours, you might find yourself having to pull arm warmers almost over your shoulders in order to keep them up. However this can leave an annoying gap between the bottom of the warmers and your gloves, a particular pain in cold or wet weather. Decent arm warmers should be long enough to sit snug against your gloves even when pulled up high.
Added Protection
Cheaper arm warmers might be little more than a lycra extension of your jersey, but spend a little more and you'll find that many manufacturers begin to integrate the technology from their bigger garments into their warmers. This can be anything from water-resistance to UV protection, so it's worth doing a bit of research before you buy.

Urine is a yellowish color fluid stored in the bladder and passes through the urethra. Urine does not usually smell, but in some cases, smelly urine happens and it can be an indication of how your health is. There are different causes of smelly urine and these causes can be both minor ones and serious ones.
Causes of Smelly Urine
- Dehydration: Lack of water intake makes the urine concentrated leading to a urine that smell stronger than the usual. The ammonia-like smell of urine is an indication that the body is not having enough water.
- Beverages: Drinking water regularly regulates urine smell. However, there are beverages that when consumed in high amounts make the smell of the urine foul. Too much coffee, for instance, make the urine smell. Also, coffee is a diuretic drink that makes one urinate often that leads to dehydration, and dehydration makes the urine smell.
- Food: There are foods that make the urine smell bad. Asparagus, for instance, makes the urine smell like sulphur. Spicy and acidic foods are also causes of smelly urine.
- Medications: Some multivitamins not just make the color of the urine dark, it also turns its smell into a foul one. There are also antibiotics that make the smell of the urine bad.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): This is a bacterial infection that has the bladder and the urethra as its common sites. Females usually are the ones who get infected with UTI and the ones who complain more of smelly urine due to its bacterial infection.
- Vaginitis: Bacterial infection and yeast infection are the primary causes of vaginitis. This condition is associated with vaginal swelling and foul-smelling urine.
- Prostatitis: This condition is due to the inflammation of prostate glands of men with causes that can be both bacterial and non-bacterial. This condition leads to stinky-smelling urine.
- Kidney Stones: Smelly urine is also evident to people who have stones in the kidneys.
- Liver Problems: When the liver fails to function, it usually gives a hint through the smell of the urine. One cause could be the escape of bilirubin through the urine that makes the urine stink. Bilirubin is a yellow-green pigment produced by the liver.
- Diabetes: diabetics have high blood sugar level and the excess of sugar in blood is passed through the urine, creating an abnormal smell.
Take note that some of the causes of a smelly urine are not that serious (dehydration, diet, and beverages), and to treat a smelly urine, one must prevent the culprits and do necessary actions to remedy it. However, some causes can also be due to underlying health conditions (diabetes, liver malfunction, and inflamed prostate) and one needs to see the doctor to have some urine tests to properly address the condition.

Omnilexica's Word of the Year 2016 selection has brought some very interesting insights and we would like to share it with you.
Omnilexica.com was busy all 365 days of the year. People from all parts of the world visited the online dictionary to find the meanings of words that they didn't know.
We have looked back to find out the Word of the Year for 2016 and have come up with the Top Ten terms that were most searched by users all though the year.
The word that tops' the list is "ethnocentrism", which has become very relevant in today's context, when the world is in turmoil with ethnicity becoming a byword for inter-racial disharmony. This word can be defined as the belief in the intrinsic superiority of culture, nation or group to which a specific person belongs. It is usually associated by feelings of dislike for the other groups.
It is a good thing that people are searching for this word. It indicates that more people become aware of this prejudice. They realize that other cultures have their own unique practices and views. As a result, they would tend to accept the views of people who belong to different cultures. This would lead towards cultural harmony and world peace in the long run.
We present the other nine words which make the list:
2. ancient Greek, noun
The recent economic downturn in Greece has seen an upsurge of searches related to this country. People are trying to see what ails Greece, and to understand how it has changed over the centuries.
Greece is a country with a very rich history and whose people's of the time have contributed immensely to the development of the ancient world in general and to Greece in particular, which is still recognized universally with gratitude.
3. accumulator register, noun
This very technical term is also being searched by many users on Omnilexica, which show that many people tend to go that extra step to learn all they could about the fast changing technological advancements that are taking place around us.
There is no doubt that users of all hues are learning fast what they would want technology to do for them and where the future would take them.
4. thing, noun
This is a very common word in general vocabulary, so it came up as a surprise.
Using it to describe many different scenarios and also to identify various situations, this word has been frequently searched by Omnilexica users, to ensure that they are using it right in a certain context.
5. spelling, noun
Words are written with different spellings and are causing undue controversies especially on the social media where the users come from diverse backgrounds.
Some misspellings have gone unnoticed while others have had their share of interesting anecdotes attached to them and all because a letter was missing or at the wrong place.
6. love, noun / verb
This is one of the most popular words today in the modern world for one thing there is a gigantic shortfall of it wherever we see.
Users are looking to understand the various ways to love and to be loved. This is not only about romantic relationships, including the controversial same-gender relationships, but also love for relatives, for friends, for pets, for sport teams, for nature, for your country, and so on. Love is more complex concept than it seems. This is why other languages, like Greek, have more than one word for it.
7. run for office, verb
The 2016 United States Presidential elections was unprecedented with the results going contrary to expectations, though the winner was clearly the majority's choice.
The election also brought in words that took some voters a longer period to digest. They will probably come up to the focus at the next elections.
8. Hazeus, noun
Is a genus of gobies and being more a biological term, it should come to our attention that biological terms are also being searched extensively by users and the diversity of the search is what makes this word interesting.
The internet put a lot of scientific information in the reach of everyone. It is great that more and more people try to improve their knowledge about the nature.
9. feudal, adjective
This word seems related to medieval times. But in the modern world, it has a more or less figurative meaning. It's when someone has the power to treat others as inferior people. It is the subjugation of a human being by another human being.
Though we would like to take this word off our vocabulary, it is still needed to express inequalities of modern society.
10. discriminatory, adjective
This is a word very much used in the political platforms to bring a point of view with reasoning that it is what ails the world today.

(WIN) Windstream Seeks Debt Refinancing
Windstream Corporation (WIN) intends to refinance $1 billion of its debt, maturing 2015. Earlier this week, the company also announced refinancing for its $1.1 billion term loan due in 2013. Given the company's balance sheet position, which already remains highly leveraged due to new debt issuances, might pose certain risks despite its significance in maintaining liquidity.
Windstream seeks a total of $1.345 billion to refinance its due maturities in 2013 and 2015. The company expects to enter into term loans for repaying the existing debt by end of this month subject to market conditions.
We believe that the company's increasing debt burden stems from the on-going expansion plans. Acquisitions to expand its coverage markets and subscriber count are vital for its survival in an industry, which is undergoing consolidation. All these activities have strained the balance sheet, as the company is predominantly funding most of them through debt. Windstream had approximately $7.8 billion in long-term debt at the end of September 30, 2012.
However, windstream is making efforts to improve its balance sheet profile by minimizing its debt position and enhancing the liquidity profile. The company generated free cash flow of $669 million as of September 30, 2012. Further, with several refinancing activities taking place and the ongoing deleveraging plans, the company expects to save interest of more than $70 million in the coming months.
We are also impressed with the company's continued commitment to maximize value for investors in the form of healthy dividend payouts. The company returned $464.6 million and $509.6 million to its shareholders in 2010 and 2011, respectively, through dividend payments. As of September 30, 2012, the company made a dividend payout of $441 million.
However, we remain on the sidelines given competitive pressure from peers like Frontier Communications (FTR) and continued access-line erosion, which could pose significant threat to the company.
Windstream has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). For the long term, we have our Neutral recommendation on the stock.

It's crazy to read a book like Yael Kohen's We Killed and know that people still make statements like "Women aren't funny." The newly released oral history of women in comedy over the last 50 years is a reminder that not only are women hilarious, but they are smart, persistent and unwilling to back down when faced with the sexism and adversity they've been dealt whether it's been in comedy clubs, writing rooms or late night TV shows.
Comedy is not just entertainment: It has the power to enlighten and educate, no matter how subtle it might be presented. What you'll get from We Killed is a sense of how progressive women have proven to be, from the pioneers like Phyllis Diller and Elaine May to the alternative comics of the '90s like Janeane Garofalo up through today's boundary-smashing Sarah Silverman, for whom no topic is untouchable. But what's also evident is how many gay women have been influential in comedy and how it is connected to how the country has changed in the last few decades.
The book is formatted chronologically, which means the first out woman introduced is the legendary Lily Tomlin. Chapter 2, "Lily of the Underground," details Lily's stand-up career in 1960s New York that "favorited material that focused on the working class and the poor." This was starkly different from the other women comics at the time, like Diller and Joan Rivers, and she also created characters instead of telling self-deprecating jokes about her looks and housewife skills. Based on her taking some classes to become a mime early on, Lily impressed crowds were her improv skills, but bookers for The Tonight Show just didn't get it. At the time, that's where you had to be seen in order to become successful. For Lily it just took some more time before she got a gig on NBC's variety series Laugh-In, which was where she became a household name alongside her famous characters like Ernestine and Edith Ann. In the book, she talks about objecting to what writers would try to have her characters say:
The creative control she had only strengthened when she met writer Jane Wagner in 1971. They started a romance that has continued all these years, and they are still partners today. Together they worked on Lily's 1973 CBS special which led to a handful more.
The chapter also praises Lily for her humor being subversive, and touched on her friendship with Richard Pryor. As Lily continued to work on TV, though, her ideas were shut down by networks who found her political sketches too scandalous and some of her ideas just too ahead of her time. While the shows didn't earn the ratings networks hoped for, Lily and Jane picked up several Emmys and other awards for their work.
In the chapter called "I am Woman," out writer /comic Carol Leifer details how she was inspired by Elayne Boosler, who she said "had a lot of material that didn't have anything to do with sex or sexuality — they were just funny, funny jokes." Sandra Bernhard discusses beginning her career in Los Angeles at The Comedy Store's Belly Room, aka an oft-women only space for stand-ups. Despite the fact that the booker (Mitzi Shore) was a woman, the main stage was reserved for men, and women were sent upstairs. The plus, Sandra said:
The chapter continues by discussing how Sandra was a hit at the Belly Room, and how she would fuse music into her act. Sandra said she was inspired by Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler, and her friend Paul Mooney talked about what made her so special:
Sandra became a hit with all kinds of crowds and started to get cast in movies, like The King of Comedy in 1983. After that she was able to make a living touring with her stand-up act.
In "The Boom Years," Ellen DeGeneres is introduced. Zane Buzby put her on an HBO special called Women of the Night in the '80s, and said, "She was just, like, America's sweetheart. She was totally likeable, great-looking and she had a couple of unique bits where she spoke to God on the telephone — that was the big one — and she didn't do much personal material."
Fellow comedian Chris Albrecht said of her:
Ellen herself details how she began emceeing at a brand new comedy club in her hometown of New Orleans called Clyde's Comedy Club. After it closed, she entered a contest for Showtime's Funniest Person in America and she won, which prompted a move to San Francisco. She said having the title backfired on her, though:
Comedian Iliza Shlesinger mused that Ellen was successful without being sexual, like other female comics dared to be in their acts in the '90s.
Which introduced the idea of how being gay could affect the comedy of women like Ellen or Lily Tomlin. Louise Lasser remembers a time in 1976 when Lily was talking to her publicity agent about coming out as gay.
Lily says that she was encouraged to drive separately from Jane to work, but she refused. In 1975, she says she was offered the cover of Time magazine if she would come out. She doesn't say why she said no, but it likely had to do with her publicist and network's advice.
Ellen said she thought people didn't know she was gay when she was early in her career, mostly because she never talked about it and she had longer hair at the time. Whoopi Goldberg, meanwhile, says people would come up to her and just ask "Are you gay?" "The interesting thing about me is, no one ever felt like they needed to be careful about what they said to me," Whoopi said. "You would never think someone would have the cojones to walk up and just blatantly ask you."
Margaret Cho said that she had a hard time being taken seriously as a queer woman because lesbians didn't "count" her unless she was "completely gay."
Friends writer Marta Kauffman said NBC could be a little stiff when it came to certain issues, including their concern over the lesbian wedding episodes. She notes that they had extra staff on hand to take any angry phone calls that night, but they only received four.
Ellen has an entire chapter dedicated to her and the sitcom in which she starred that led to her pivotal coming out moment on network television. It was 20 years after Lily Tomlin had been asked to come out on Time Magazine, but it was Ellen on the cover instead.
With her appearance on Johnny Carson, Ellen was the first female comic ever invited to sit on the couch after her performance. "It changed everything," Ellen said, because she was able to get paid $5000 a night in bigger venues to bigger crowds. And she got network TV executives' attention, although they didn't know what to do with her.
She had a few bit parts on shows like Open House and Laurie Hill, and eventually a show was created around her and her friends, called These Friends of Mine, which turned into Ellen.
In 1995, The San Francisco Examiner penned a piece about Ellen Morgan's penchant for androgynous looks and disinterest in men. People began to wonder about Ellen on-screen and off, and Ellen says in the book that everyone in her life knew already, so she wasn't concerned about coming out publicly — until she had a dream that she was living in a cage.
"It was a beautiful cage," she said, "but I was living in a cage. But, absolutely, [the network] did not want me to come out."
The entire chapter details the meetings that went on to discuss how they could handle such a bold move on primetime TV, something Ellen calls "a nightmare." She felt like no one stood behind her: advertisers, the network, the studio. And after the coming out episode, which had great ratings, the show faltered and was given the axe. Network exec Stu Bloomberg defended ABC's decision, saying he was hurt by Ellen's accusations that it was based on homophobia, citing poor ratings as the ultimate reason Ellen went off air.
We all know that Ellen fell on hard times after the show was cancelled, but things picked back up for her after her 2000 HBO special The Beginning. And since she just accepted the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, it's safe to say she came out on top.
In a chapter dedicated to the Boys Club of Saturday Night Live, out SNL writer Paula Pell discusses Tina Fey's rise to fame from the writer's room to the Weekend Update desk, as well as the talent of Molly Shannon and Cheri Oteri.
Paula Pell
Besides these famous funny women, there are many more that we love to laugh at, and many of them are covered in the book, up through Chelsea Handler, Amy Poehler and Ellie Kemper. But as queer women, we have a lot of others who have been mainstays at our events, from cruises to Pride events to performing at the Dinah. Rosie O'Donnell isn't in We Killed, nor are Kate Clinton or Judy Gold or SNL's newest gay sensation Kate McKinnon. And the reason why is that there are just too many amazing female comedic talents to put into one book. It's a good problem to have, I suppose, especially considering the amount of intel you get from trailblazers like Lily, Sandra and Ellen.
And, of course, the whole book is filled with insight on what happened when Roseanne went up against the writers of her show, or how Jane Curtin and Gilda Radner had to get more air time on SNL. Or maybe you want the salacious details of who was sleeping together in the alterna-comedy scene in the '90s. The story behind The Mary Tyler Moore show is good, too. It's all good and the book is one huge piece of history that needed to be put together so we don't lose it once our legends pass away. (RIP Gilda, Phyllis, etc.)
Some of the best work in American culture has been done by the women in front of and behind the camera and the curtain. We Killed lets you know just how much work it was to get there.

As the Prince of Wales prepared to board his charter plane for Tokyo last week, a friend made a telling comment about the heir to the throne's current mindset. "He now accepts that his work as the Prince of Wales will have a longer legacy than his work as a future King," the source told me.
Every action of Prince Charles's during the first five days of his Far East tour has suggested that these words ring true. Today, just 12 days short of his 60th birthday, all the evidence from Japan and Brunei indicates that Prince Charles is far more content than he was when he approached his last two ''landmark birthdays''.
Two decades ago, in the run-up to turning 40, he was deeply unhappy in a soulless marriage and was under pressure from the Queen to do his "duty" and walk away from his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, the on-off love of his life.
Ten years ago, he was no less troubled, this time in turmoil as he approached 50 because of the nation's backlash against the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in a Paris car crash the previous year. Yet again, the "coming out" of his relationship with Mrs Parker Bowles had to be put on hold until the nation was willing to accept her.
Yet he achieved his goal in the end, marrying the woman he long ago pledged was a "non-negotiable" part of his life. So as the Prince's Airbus A319 touched down at Japan's Haneda Airport last Monday, not only has he three happy years of marriage under his belt, but he is also confident that he has carved a relevant role for himself as the Prince of Wales.
"The Prince is in a really good place right now," another friend said recently, referring to the fact that he had, particularly in recent times, come to terms with the fact that he will almost certainly not be King for many years – and that his eventual reign may be short.
Friends say he accepts that the Queen's excellent health and formidable genes mean he is unlikely to be King until his late seventies.
"The Prince is a man of faith and he often uses the phrase: 'It's up to God what will happen.' But I am sure he doesn't sit there thinking about what sort of King he will be, or planning how he will rule. He is too busy getting on with his work as the Prince of Wales," a source told me.
The Prince's decision to concentrate his working life on a handful of key areas where he believes he really can make a difference was all too evident from his four days in Japan last week.
Within 24 hours of arriving in Tokyo, as the Nikkei index hit a 26-year low, Prince Charles was standing in a lecture theatre at the Miraikan Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, telling his Japanese hosts that they had more to fear from soaring global temperatures than from tumbling share prices.
With a near faultless delivery – he is known as "one-take Charlie" by those who record his video messages – the Prince delivered a 20-minute talk in which he made an impassioned plea for people to tackle the "climate crunch" ahead of the credit crunch. Indeed, he described climate change as, "the biggest challenge our planet has ever seen – literally a battle for survival".
He said: "We take our eye off the 'climate crunch' at our peril. While we hope and pray that the underlying strengths of the global economy will – once again – enable it to bounce back, the effects of climate change will be far from temporary and will, indeed, be irreversible. The scale of the challenge is clear – nothing less than an urgent, full-scale transformation to a low-carbon society is needed."
The need to tackle climate change is a recurring theme of the tour – it was re-emphasised in a speech in Brunei yesterday, and it will be the bedrock of the Presidential Lecture that the Prince will deliver in Jakarta, Indonesia, this coming week.
Even though the Prince does the meetings with government representatives and members of foreign royal families with good grace, there's no hiding that where he is most at home is in the countryside and with people who, like him, understand it.
On Thursday, he took the 150mph "bullet train" from Tokyo to Nagano to meet a kindred spirit: the writer and broadcaster CW Nicol, a Welshman who has successfully restored one of Japan's mountain forests.
Mr Nicol, 68, who was born in Neath, south Wales, is one of life's characters: he first came to Japan in 1962 to study martial arts, and is now a seventh dan black belt at karate and an unlikely national treasure.
The whisky-loving Mr Nicol, bearded and ruddy faced, is fluent in Japanese and has Japanese citizenship. Over the past 24 years, he had bought parcels of land to create a "sustainable" – one of the Prince's favourite buzzwords – 45-acre woodland.
As the Prince and Mr Nicol leant on their respective crook and walking stick, sitting in a wooden shelter in front of an open fire, it looked as though they were lifelong soul-mates rather than two men who had met for the first time just an hour earlier.
If time had permitted, the two environmental champions could probably have talked about every one of the 483 species of trees and plants, along with 343 species of mushrooms and fungus, that now thrive in Mr Nicol's rejuvenated Afan Woodland.
The Prince warms to people who put their heads above the parapet to save the planet – the Welshman was even the subject of death threats from the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia, for opposing the dumping of industrial waste.
Sadly, as is often the case, the clock was ticking, and the Prince had to leave the woodland to travel five minutes up the road to the Enmei Tea Factory. Still, the factory is very much in tune with the Prince's fondness for organic products and actively promotes the health benefits of national ingredients.
Prince Charles has already made it clear that when he becomes King – and thereby also the Supreme Governor of the Church of England – he wants to break new ground by becoming "Defender of Faith" rather than simply the conventional "Defender of the Faith".
And by travelling to the city of Nara last week, he was able to kill two birds with one stone: to gain a greater understanding of the Buddhist faith while at the same time seeing one of the world's great landmarks with his wife, who was visiting Japan for the first time. The couple flew from Tokyo to see the historic Todaiji Temple in Nara. At 169ft high and 187ft wide, the world's largest wooden building was constructed in AD 752 and is set in magnificent parkland.
Continuing with his interest in faith, yesterday the Prince began a four-day visit to Indonesia, home to the world's largest Muslim population. Not for the first time, the Prince will welcome the opportunity to show his commitment to – and understanding of – the Islamic faith.
The only slight regret for his aides is that the Duchess of Cornwall will not be at his side for the last leg of the tour. The Duchess, who struggles in hot climates, flew back to Britain last night as the Prince moved on to Indonesia.
These days if the Prince - who is known to have a fierce temper - gets irritated, it is usually when the Duchess is absent. "She supports him and helps him stay calm," says a friend.
During official duties, he must welcome this support. Perhaps the best opportunity of a quirky picture for travelling photographers last week was when the Prince "met" a 4ft tall white robot called Asimo.
The humanoid robot, one of the most advanced of its kind, greeted Prince Charles with a warm "konnichi-wa" – Japanese for "hello" – before performing a seven-minute step and dance routine at the Miraikan Museum.
As the cameramen stood poised, a wary Prince Charles was having none of it. He insisted on keeping a safe distance from the robot as it waved its arms and legs in a manner that would not have been out of place in a Seventies discotheque.
Only after Asimo stood first on one leg and then the other with its arms outstretched, before saying "bye, bye" in English, did the impatient Prince give a half-hearted laugh.
So, with a happy marriage and his sons, Princes William and Harry, both embarking on military careers, the Prince will turn 60 safe in the knowledge that, with his pet subjects and his formidable charity work, he has a role that is both personally fulfilling and which has overwhelming public approval.
Until he becomes King, he will continue to be active – engaging in what his critics describe as his tiresome "meddling" – and fire off countless letters to ministers on areas in which he considers they have failings.
In short, the Prince – while he still can, as heir, not monarch – will continue to tread a fine line between political interference and stimulating a lively debate on what he considers to be the important issues of the day.
And perhaps when the time eventually comes when he is crowned King Charles III, he will already have secured a place in the history books as the most forward-thinking and worthy Prince of Wales of all time.
The same friend who remarked that the heir to the throne had already accepted that his work as the Prince of Wales was likely to outdo anything he might achieve as King, concludes: "Some people at 60 start thinking about slowing down – but not the Prince.
"He is as driven as ever to use the position that he was born into, along with the experiences and contacts that he has gained over the decades, to really make a difference. And when the sad day arrives that the Queen dies, there will be no better-prepared sovereign for the role that lies ahead."

Career years: 2001-Present
Knicks fans stan for Tyson Chandler without even realizing it. They love to praise the hardworking, tough-nosed type of player who values defense, even if it means being blind to the truth: he's just an average help defender in the post who racks up too many fouls, does next to nothing on offense, and struggles to guard big-men one-on-one. For Knicks fans, watching Roy Hibbert slowly disassemble Chandler in the playoffs was painful. Yet stans will relentlessly defend Chandler's shortcomings, because his qualities remind them of the Pat Riley Era and an old school New York attitude.

Eminem's New Video Highlights 9/11, Illuminati
Download the video, right click here, save target as.
Prison Planet.com commends GNN and Eminem for this new video.
The last couple of years have seen an explosion in cultural expressions of freedom that expose 9/11 and government tyranny.
This summer saw the release of a best-selling hip-hop song by Jadakiss which asked the question, why did Bush knock down the towers?
FLASHBACK: Hit Rap Song Asks: "Why Did Bush Knock Down The Towers?"
It's amazing that the acceleration of revelation is to the point when even
the entertainment industry is waking up and contributing.
It takes a measure of bravery to create and promote this kind of project and we applaud the efforts of the GNN team.
From Liberty Think....
Eminem has released a new video of the cut "Mosh," from his upcoming album Encore. The largely animated video , produced in association with Guerilla News Network, opens with Eminem reading to schoolchildren in the shadow of the World Trade Center on 9/11, not unlike Bush did in Florida.
It then cuts to Eminem standing before a wall collaged with newspaper clippings and photos featuring headlines about Bush's foreknowledge of 9/11 (including the famous BUSH KNEW New York Post headline); the civil rights abuses of the PATRIOT Act; maltreatment of soldiers; war profiteering and even the Illuminati's all-seeing eye.
Eminem then rallies a crowd of youngsters to action, crying "F*** Bush!" as black helicopters buzz over. This is intercut with a scene of a soldier coming home only to immediately receive an order sending him back to Iraq. As Eminem calls Bush "this monster, this coward we empowered," one of the infamous "bin Laden videos" plays on a television set -- only to have OBL's backdrop collapse to reveal a giggling Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld on a Hollywood set.
The lyrics slam the government's "psychological warfare" as the animated Eminem leads a crowd of youth to a voting booth. But perhaps Eminem isn't cyncial enough here, as a word about the electronic voting scam machines would be worthwhile as well. At least Eminem hasn't fallen into the trap of endorsing Bush's sworn Bones blood brother Kerry, though he came a little too close for this writer's tastes in his new Rolling Stone interview.
The last video Eminem produced in association with GNN, "White America," was banned from MTV Networks.Disclaimer

Autism Moms are the new Salem Witches!
Hi there vaccination nation… Boy.. big topic these days.. Valid argument on both sides, huh? I mean, if you're trying to destroy the health and lives of millions of people all over the world, then.. yeah, I suppose the pro-vaxxers have a valid argument, otherwise, they're completely full of shit!
Oh, I'm sorry, please allow me to back up… See, I'm an autism mom! And by 'autism mom', I mean I am the mother of child who has been labeled autistic.. And what does it mean to be autistic? It means that you have been physically, biologically and cognitively impaired through the injection of a needle. This is not my opinion, this is not a gray area, this is not up for debate, or in need of more study.. This is a fact that is scientifically provable and verified by 1000s, if not millions of parents across the world
I am one of them. I am here to tell you that I watched my healthy son who spoke, played and gave eye contact freely, become a non-verbal, hyper-active, self-stimulatory, sick and sometimes aggressive child who following a round of 'well baby shots' could no longer remember how to go down a slide at a playground he'd been to dozens of times before.
If you tell me there is no 'valid' scientific evidence to prove this, you are wrong.. If you tell me this is my way of finding a reason for my suffering, you are wrong… If you say that there is a genetic predisposition that creates a vulnerability and then in some cases a vaccine can trigger 'autistic like' symptoms, I suggest you look up the terms 'vaccines and mutagenics'.. Don't worry, I'll wait.
If you say autism is better than the measles, I suppose you take the time to go to a special day class of autistic students and follow them around for a while. Better yet, you should tape your mouth shut, bang yourself over the head so you can induce an excruciating migraine, eat junk food daily so you know what it's like to have chronic bowel pain.. In fact be sure to eat all the foods you're allergic to (and by the way, thank your vaccines for that too since allergies are a modern disease induced by vaccination) and walk around all day in an utter state of confusion while supposed 'normal' people talk to you like you're stupid and constantly instruct you to 'look them in the eye'. Have you ever seen the movie or the read the book 'Johnny Got His Gun'?
Imagine that.. imagine being in a world where you have lost the ability to communicate and therefore are unable to tell anyone that your entire body is in chronic pain! Though your sensory system is all out of whack, you can hear, not only that but you understand everything, even though people talk to you like you don't.. Or they don't talk to you at all, instead they talk to each other about YOU, as if you're not in the room.
Oh but there's more.. this is just a partial list of the things my son goes through on a daily basis and I, as his mother probably only grasp a margin of it. If I could trade places with him, I would.. It would suck but I would because I, like all mothers, love my child beyond any measure that words cannot possibly express.. To this day, I remain shocked by how profoundly deep this feeling is, it is like no other I have ever known. And as most autism moms would, I would give my life back to God in a second to relieve his pain.. You wouldn't have to ask me twice, I wouldn't need a moment to think.. it's thought, it's done, I'm ready.. but it doesn't work like that. Now back to the whole autism mom thing…
As an autism mom, I have been told that my memories of my child's regression after vaccination were not my own.. I've been made out to be crazy, hysterical, confused, stupid, un-educated, anti-science, one guy told me that 'although my son's story was sad, he hated me for telling it.. ' Hated me? Total stranger, personally hated me… Almost funny when you think about it, except that it's not funny.. like, at all. It's not funny that my son, like so many needlessly suffers and when we dare to tell others in an attempt to spare them the pain or merely to be understood, they claim to 'hate us'. They claim we are 'beyond reason' and that we suffer cognitive dissonance. I know.. the irony is not lost on us.
How many pro-vaxxers, doctors and so-called scientists spend the hours researching vaccines that we do?? The anti-vaxxers.. most of whom are autism parents. Speaking of irony, check this out.. We.. the autism parents who allowed our children to be vaccinated are now the anti-vaxxers. We learned the hard way and yet the propaganda is still blaming these Mickey Mouse measles shenanigans on us the anti-vaxxers, most of whom were vaccinated at some point… Well.. On second thought, maybe that part is true… I mean, those of us who were vaccinated might in fact be spreading the diseases we were vaccinated for.. Oh.. what's that you say? You seem confused pro-vaxxer.. Well, while you're looking up 'vaccines and mutagenics' try also looking up 'shedding' and since we're talking about measles, also try looking up 'vaccine communicated measles'.. You're welcome!
This latest measles outbreak as dubious as it's origin may seem, just coincidentally started right after CDC whistleblower, Dr. William Thompson admitted that he and several of his colleagues including Dr. Julie Gerberding, who stated during a congressional hearing that there was no scientific evidence to prove that vaccines cause autism withheld evidence to the contrary. In other words, THEY LIED!!! They knew that the MMR (Measles vaccine) created a 500 percent increase of causing autism in African American males; they knew the younger the child received the shot the more susceptible they were; they knew they were risking the lives of millions and THEY LIED!!
But never mind that, cause that's government and lying is just what they do.. Pharmaceutical companies? Are you serious? Yes, of course they do it too, while you're looking up 'mutagenics and vaccines', 'shedding' and 'vaccine communicated measles, (this is how the system tries to gain back public trust in vaccines – check it out!) also try looking up 'Merck whistleblower'.. My pleasure!
But propaganda never has anything to do with science, facts or the truth and this latest 'measles-gate' is no different. It is a well orchestrated effort to force those of us who dare to bring this evidence to the light into submission through laws, legislation, ex-communication and ridicule. Even writing this essay puts me in a vulnerable position but I crossed that Rubicon long ago. I entered this hostile environment when I innocently started sharing the story of my son's vaccine injury. I had no idea that the subsequent research I would do to understand it, would send me down a rabbit hole that nearly 7 years and 100s, possibly 1000s of hours in, seems to have no bottom.
The more I learn about the real science behind vaccination, the more I am under the impression that the autistic children are just the tip of the iceberg. The more I begin to think that all of the mis-guided, mis-educated, utterly illogical arguments presented by the pro-vax community is in fact, the result of their own severe vaccine injuries.. I mean, how can it not be? How does anyone get run over by a train and not get hurt? 'Oh but some people can tolerate vaccines only the immune comprised..' blah, blah.. stop it.. just stop it right now… Stop it with these tired old arguments because vaccines don't work at preventing disease, so why do we still have to have this conversation?
Why do WE the autism moms and sufferers of vaccine injury need to plead our case for anti-vax. Even those who have never been vaccinated, why should they defend a NON-action? The doctors, pseudo-scientists and big pharma funded talking head politicians are the ones attempting to sell their product and therefore, THEY are the ones with the burden of proof, which they have failed to provide since day one! And yet, this hoax continues…
But once again, no matter.. I don't really have to tell anyone anymore that we're living in a science fiction world like the dystopic futures described in 'A Brave New World' and '1984'.. Oh, but that's just conspiracy talk, that's just how us anti-vaxxers are, right? If a fictional dystopic future is too far fetched than how about our past? How about the McCarthy era of the 1950s that led many Hollywood moguls to being black balled for their alleged affiliations with Communist.. 'You'll never work in this town again..' Wakefield anyone?
Or better yet, how about the Salem Trials of 1692? During a homeschool lesson, that's right.. homeschool.. ("oh God.. she homeschools too?" Yup).. Anyway, during a history lesson we found this blog, "History of Massachusetts", please allow me to share a little excerpt…
"The Salem Witch Trials was a classic example of scapegoating. Fear combined with a "trigger," a traumatic or stressful event, is what often leads to scapegoating. Fear of the Devil, and witches who did his bidding, was very real in Salem at the time…"
check it out here: http://historyofmassachusetts.org/the-salem-witch-trials/
I could not help but to empathize with the accused witches.. See, I the autism mom and we the anti-vaxxers have become the scapegoat for vaccination failure. And the fear of the devil.. I mean, the disease has swept over the populace like a viral infection, only this infection is far more deadly than the disease itself.
So now, I, mother, autism mom, anti-vaxxer, truther, conspiracy theorists and witch have been accused of carrying out the bidding of the devil. But as we've continually come to learn, this hoax is laden with irony. The people of Salem would later come to understand the 19 hanged, many prisoned and several accused witches were innocent of witchcraft. They felt remorse and would later have to retract their previous findings. So if we use this example, allow me to ask who really is carrying out the deeds of the devil.. The accused or the accusers?

White people in America are very much the victims of racism.
Racist attitudes hurt white people the most in that racism is being used as a tool to make white people make irrational purchase decisions.
White people have been bombarded with images of scary black and brown people. These images have enabled many wealthy people to exploit the average white person. White people have been tricked into taking extraordinary, and expensive, measures to avoid this black and brown boogeyman. These measures include: buying houses 50+ miles from where they work in order to avoid black and brown people, spending large sums of money to commute to work from said houses, and buying home security systems and weapons to protect themselves from black and brown invaders.

What you don't understand is blacks have gone through years of physical, economic, abuse. Being racist to a black person has years of this abuse associated with it, a history of slavery and lynch mobs etc. Racism goes very deep for them, and any sign of racism, however slight, is going to bring all that history into sharp focus.
Now look at you, whitey, you come from the privileged race that CREATED the situation that made blacks slaves, and put them in a situation of poverty and oppression? Your race created the racism.
So if a black calls you whitey, or whatever, and upsets you then I have no sympathy. You want things to be equal when it's turned on you, but what happened to equality when it came to all the other stuff blacks have had to go through?
(btw I'm a whitey before you assume otherwise)

Exactly racism is racism!
Whether it's Whites on Blacks or Blacks on White, When somebody discriminates on color or race it's RACISM pure and simple.

And we hope that humankind will evolve and progress.... PPffftttt
Never gonna happen as long as we have all these ISM's.....
The Idea of Races
"Race" first appeared in the English language around the 17th century. North Americans began to use the term in their scientific writings by the late 18th century. Racism was developed and popularized by scientists in the 19th century, as they were regarded as purveyors of truth. At the time this ideology also explained political and economic conflicts in various parts of the world and legitimized the dominant role of British capitalism in the world economic system. Racism is universal and is evident in many different ethno-racial groups. It is not limited to white groups.
By the mid-19th century, there was general agreement that the worlds population could be divided into a variety of races: groups of people who shared similar phenotypical attributes, eg, skin colour, hair texture. This process of race categorization is referred to as racialization and is necessary for the emergence of racism as an ideology.

It doesn't upset me if somebody calls me whitey. It upsets me that I was taught that I'm inherently racist for being white basically, and bombarded with all this stuff about how I need to treat a certain group better (even though I'd never once given a flying sh*t about anyone's own race) but despite this, many many people in that group remain highly, often absurdly racist, as though they were exempt from any of the principles taught...

Home » 12 Astrology Houses » Pluto in Eighth House in Vedic Astrology
Pluto in the Eighth House is associated with deaths in which there is a previous disappearance, isolation or confinement. The native will often drop out of ordinary life or contact with other people previous to his death actually occurring. There is some indication that the native may be involved in a natural disaster of some sort. It is not a very helpful position for prospects of gain through legacy or inheritance. The marriage or business partner will more than likely complicate the financial position of the native's life. Once again, it would be wise for the native to avoid business partnerships or, at least use discretion in the choice of a partner. Pluto in the eighth house gives aptness to mysticism and magic and sometimes big inheritance. When Pluto is retrograde in eighth house constant questioning of other's values are required. There is a desire to understand the deepest secrets. Strong sexuality or obsession with it can occur. There is often a strong tie with collective consciousness.
