Police Week 2012: Officer Runs into Danger to Save Partner, Victim
May 12th, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
Following is a story of heroism for which District 6 Police Officer Michael A. Antoniak will receive a high honor from the Milwaukee Police Department at Tuesday's Police/Citizen Merit Awards Ceremony. He will receive the Medal of Valor – Combat.
In the early evening hours of Tuesday, March 6, 2012, Police Officer Michael A. Antoniak and a sergeant were dispatched to an armed robbery in progress at an apartment building on South 44th Street. Upon arrival, Officer Antoniak learned that the suspect was still in the building.
The officers entered the building with their weapons drawn. Suddenly, the door to one of the apartments burst open and the suspect came out, pointing a gun at the sergeant. The sergeant grabbed the suspect's hand and in the struggle, the suspect squeezed the trigger but the gun failed to discharge. The sergeant pushed the suspect back into the apartment, attempting to gain control of him and his weapon. Fearing for the sergeant's safety, Officer Antoniak entered the apartment and encountered a second suspect. Officer Antoniak was able to subdue the suspect and both were taken into custody. The victim was found on the floor bound with duct tape. He told officers that the suspects had beaten, robbed and threatened to kill him and also said that the suspect told him he would shoot anyone who came to the door.
We are proud to call Police Officer Michael A. Antoniak a Milwaukee Police Officer.

The Newsroom Is Incredibly Hostile Toward Women
Men watch the news like this. Women watch the news like this.
The Newsroom's sexual politics have been problematic from the start, and Sunday night's "I Will Try to Fix You" kept right at it. Women: Aren't they crazy? Why are they so frivolous? Why can't they be more serious — you know, like how men are? We'll grant that it's hard to write good characters, credible characters, textured characters, and it's not like the men of Newsroom are all perfect; they are dumb and noisy, too, sometimes. What the show's fourth episode drove home was that within the Aaron Sorkin world, there's no insult more grave than being a woman. "I'm concerned about the rest of us being turned into a bunch of old ladies with hair-dryers on our heads," Will snapped at one of his dates on Sunday's episode. That's his nightmare, his fear: that our culture has become too invested in gossip or reality TV, which are feminine concerns. Later in the episode, Gabrielle Giffords gets shot. Thank God something important happened — like six people dying — so the noble staff of News Night With Will MacAvoy could cut in to the nightmarish senselessness of a fashion TV show.
Will doesn't seem to particularly care for any of the women he spends time with. He calls one date a "bitch" and doesn't flinch when MacKenzie derisively refers to his companions as his "Netflix queue of divorcées." Will's boss and mentor Charlie scolds him in "Fix" for dating women "he'd never want to spend daylight hours with." Because it's degrading? Disrespectful? Objectifying? Because it's patronizing? Cruel? Selfish? No, no: Because Will deserves better. Will can be petty, nasty, and immature, but the show insists that he's still worthy of an enormous amount of respect. But that inherent dignity doesn't extend to any of the female characters.
"Fix" seemed to be about how fashion is dumb and news is smart, how gossip is a social cancer and cable news is noble, that everyone else is an idiot and Will (and sometimes Charlie) is brilliant. This played out over and over and over as women being portrayed as stupid and men being portrayed as smart. Maggie's roommate Lisa is worried that Jim is too smart for her, because she's just a dumb Parsons graduate and he's Mr. Perfect. Will's dates all know about one of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, but Will can't be bothered because he's too busy covering stories from many months before. Female staffer Tess proposes a (granted, lousy) story about iPads and is almost kicked out of the office; male staffer Neal spends the whole episode talking about Big Foot, and Will eventually agrees to take the pitch seriously. If it were up to the broads, all we'd know about are the People's Choice Awards and getting turned on by gun play. Thank God we have menfolk for the serious stuff.
We might be able to chalk this up to Will's dated misogyny were it the first time that Sorkin had used that hair-dryer line to connote frivolity and worthlessness. On Sports Night, Sorkin used the exact same reference. "You're a woman, you know that?" Casey angrily chastises Dan. "I'm gonna stick you under a hair dryer." It's a dig Casey makes to Dan a few times — you know, for emotional stuff. When Dan is hurt that Casey doesn't remember the anniversary of their first show together, Casey gets defensive. You don't remember what we were doing? Dan asks. "I remember not thinking at the time that you were a woman," he spits. Ouch! What could be worse than being a woman? On The West Wing, Sam Seaborn isn't just out-matched when he appears on a news show to debate Ainsley Hayes. He's "getting beat, by a girl!" as Josh gleefully describes it. By a girl, you say? How novel.
But Sorkin's male characters also adore women. They worship them! Dan cures his writer's block on Sports Night by remembering that he wants to impress women. West Wing's beloved "big block of cheese day" is introduced in the episode "The Crackpots and These Women," which ends with the intended-to-seem-sweet scene of Leo and the President telling Josh, "we can't get over these women." WW's Bartlet (and Sorkin) is the father of daughters. And yet semi-hallowed reverence for women is not actually the opposite of misogyny. The feminist utopia version of Newsroom isn't the one where the female characters are Perfect and Powerful. It's a version where the female characters aren't completely othered at every moment; where their motivations make as much sense as male characters'; where they're given the same opportunities to be perfect and imperfect, powerful and disempowered, as right, wrong, scared, and brave as their male counterparts.
Aaron Sorkin was on "Fresh Air" Monday afternoon, and he told Terry Gross that he "like[s] writing about heroes [who] don't wear capes or disguises. You feel like, 'Gee, this looks like the real world and feels like the real world — why can't that be the real world?'" Yes, a fantasy land where male privilege goes unchallenged, forever, and bosses can spend meetings riffing on the attractiveness of their dates' legs (as MacAvoy did in "Fix"), where the male gaze is the only gaze, where men have ideas and women are interrupting. Tell us more about this magical place.

WASHINGTON (AP) — She is alone in a political class facing extinction on Capitol Hill. Yet, GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine personifies the moderation that national Republicans increasingly say is necessary for the party's survival.
"Of course I would like to see more Republicans from not only New England but from the entire Northeast, where we have a tradition of being an inclusive party," Collins, 60, said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. "I do not think it is healthy for the Republican Party to be a regional party."
On that, national Republicans agree. The Republican National Committee, still smarting from its 2012 election losses and failure to win control of the Senate, issued a 100-page report last month calling for more inclusive tones on immigration and gay rights to help broaden the party's appeal.
Generations of New England Republicans have favored moderation on social issues. But in recent years, Republicans in the region's congressional delegation have dwindled to just two among 33 elected officials in six states: Collins and Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire. Of the pair, only Collins is up for re-election in 2014.
"In New England, a moderate Republican would be traditionally fiscally conservative and socially moderate to liberal. The party hasn't tolerated that in the last few years," said former Sen. Olympia Snowe, a veteran Republican who, with Collins, was a force for moderation in Republican ranks for 15 years.
"They don't tolerate dissent within the party," Snowe, who retired out of frustration last year, said in an interview with the AP. "That's why they find themselves in trouble."
As the Grand Old Party shifted right in recent years, Collins walked a delicate balance on explosive issues while her colleagues lost, retired or left the party altogether.
She calls herself "a champion" on equal rights for gays and lesbians but doesn't openly support gay marriage. She favors changes to the nation's immigration system but so far declines to endorse a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who live in the country illegally. And she wants to crack down on illegal gun trafficking, but warns that universal background checks might impose unnecessary burdens on some gun owners.
She also praises President Barack Obama's recent bipartisan outreach efforts, which included a phone call with Collins and a Senate Republican luncheon she hosted.
"I think he definitely helped himself," Collins said of the president, adding later, "I think my party needs to meet him halfway."
Her nuanced positions attract critics on the right and the left, but recent polling indicates that Collins is popular among Maine voters in both parties. Democrats in Washington quietly acknowledge she is in a commanding position to win re-election. On the ground in Maine, Democrats suggest that an unexpected announcement of retirement by Collins would offer their best chance of winning her seat.
"We're committed to running a strong Democratic candidate that can win this seat and turn Maine completely blue," state party spokesman Lizzy Reinholt said. "But the real question up in the air right now is whether Susan Collins runs for re-election."
Collins told the AP that only a family catastrophe would prevent her from seeking a fourth term.
Her willingness to work with Democrats at times has drawn criticism from the tea party, but Maine conservative activists have yet to rally behind a credible alternative. It was a similar struggle for conservatives unhappy with Snowe, another moderate Republican, before she abruptly announced her retirement last year.
"People on the right in the party are not happy with some of (Collins') votes," Maine Republican National Committeeman Mark Willis said. "But I don't think there's anything out there that would indicate that there's one or more people that would primary her."
There is little fear that Collins would lose to a Democrat, given her popularity with that party. Perhaps that's why most of the state's top Democrats are eyeing the 2014 gubernatorial election instead of the Senate.
The state's freshman senator, Angus King, an independent who caucuses with Senate Democrats, said it was too early to decide whether he might endorse Collins in 2014, but he did not rule it out.
"Sen. Collins is incredibly diligent and a ferocious advocate on behalf of her constituents," King told the AP. "My experience with Maine politics is if you work hard, even if people disagree with you, they will generally support you."
Polling suggests that Democrats are generally pleased with Collins' job performance, although her policies are not always exactly in line with Democratic priorities.
In a recent interview in her Washington office, Collins refused to say whether she personally supports gay marriage. She listed one of her "proudest legislative accomplishments" as co-authoring the bill to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that prevented gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military. A framed copy of a New York Times issue marking the accomplishment hangs behind her desk.
"I think it's evident that I have been a champion in the Senate on equality and equal rights for gays and lesbians," she said when pressed on her personal views on same-sex marriage.
"I've always felt that domestic relations, including marriage, should be dealt with at the state level," she continued. "My philosophy has been to stay out of state issues."
Collins strikes another delicate balance on gun control. She introduced legislation in March defining gun trafficking as a federal crime and cracking down on "straw purchases" in which lawful gun buyers provide firearms to those who can't buy them legally. But she is reluctant to embrace the president's call for universal background checks.
"This isn't as easy to figure out as it sounds when people call for universal or better background checks. There are a lot of details to work out to make sure that the law doesn't impose a burden that doesn't improve our safety," she said. "But do I think we can and should do better in that area? Yes."
She is among more than a dozen senators targeted by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's advertising campaign pushing senators to support expanded background checks. She recently issued a statement declaring that the effort does not have "any influence over my decisions."
Meanwhile, Collins notes that a recent Democratic poll gave her one of the highest approval ratings for a senator in the nation. And she's not done looking for compromise. She is expected to be among a group of Republican lawmakers to have another private dinner with the president next week.
"He said he would be in touch," Collins said of Obama.

The original show just as bad and isn't make sense either.
I do not believe anyone (or just say it, most people) that follow the "franchise" because thinking the original is "good show"
they remember it as super silly and dumb mecha show but kinda entertaining just because the romance flick.
Me too thinking the "twist" is hella dumb and must be the worst asspull that I ever know, but to thinking its even destroying the original.. LOL Just no, its still in the nature of the series anyway which is stupidity. Yeah that's the nature of the series.

Thanks, crayven.
Please read this.
That post, by the way, was made in the hope of reconciling Amata's biggest fans (you, kuro, etc...) with Zessica's biggest fans. But I can see now that was a fruitless endeavor.
And I can see now that you're totally set on hating Zessica, so there's probably no point in me debating this much further with you.
Your firm hatred of Zessica is why you refuse to even consider that Zessica may have been romantically interested in Amata prior to Episode 8, because if she was, you no longer get to put her flirting in a nefarious "irresponsible/reckless" light, do you?
Personally, I always thought that Zessica's flirting with Amata meant she was interested in him, from the very first time she did it. It simply took a while before she became fully cognizant of this herself.

I love how there is one side to this argument that openly admits they not only won't consider the arguments put before them but that they will not even read them. Pretty much makes the whole discussion pointless.
Honestly, I don't get it.

Regardless of the other two mentioned, I doubt Frontier would've stalled him. He must've come up with the idea during the creation of the two movies. It would explain why things are so poorly written in this series. However, the fact of the matter is, it is obvious to any sane person watching this show that the story is not planned very well, stating easily that it was rushed. It is obvious that he created this story during the process of the second movie for Frontier.
He didn't create EVOL during the process of creating the series of Frontier. It had to be recent. Rumors didn't start until after the first movie of Frontier hit BD.
Regarding whether this new twist is a troll or not... I'll wait till they so-called "explain everything."
I have doubts that he decided to continue the series based on the number of fans. This is his most uninteresting series in the fan base. It has less than even Zero. So, in that retrospect, it had to be a spur of the moment, thus adding to our thoughts that this is rushed. I mean, the pacing up until now has been absolutely horrible and continues to be so.

This twist of Apollo being Pollon is horribly done
Why? because this should have been done back during the original series and gone through the proper steps and because this wasn't done in the correct steps, this twist looks horribly out of place and most of the story falls apart making it impossible for me to take it seriously
For example, I can no longer look at Apollonius and Celiane as some kind of love of miracle cause I know 12000 years later his dog will NTR him
I can no longer take Apollo seriously when he was acting like Apollonius cause all I see is a dog pretending to be his master
Don't get me started on Touma, he was suppose to be the "go to" guy for reincarnation reveals but now that he apparently mistaken Apollonius for a dog I can't see him being anything but a joke last time I saw a post saying Fudou and Rena were probably laughing in their minds everytime Apollo and Touma talked to each other
And people are saying Apollo is a human cause he reincarnated, yeah about that he has shown beastly traits even when he is Apollo before this twist it can be assumed it's just because he was never taught manners and was not in touch with human society but now that he is revealed to be an actual reincarnation of a dog. Well this does not make good pictures.
Most importantly, Apollo and Silvia, people are saying how they managed to defy fate and end up together but that is not what I see, since Silvia never seem to recognize Apollo as Pollon, what I end up seeing is Apollo deceiving everyone and hijacking Apollonius and Celiane's promise, yes he didn't lie about anything but still in the end everyone ends up mistaking him as Apollonius so the fact it was never brought up makes that entire concept very unsatisfying

It turns out Sophia was right. The constant gattai between Silvia and Apollo allowed Silvia to experience Apollo's memory of Baron. Sophia explains Apollo may mistake Silvia's memory of the previous life as his own.
Reika in the OVA dreaming of Celiane and Apollonius was convinced she was Celiane. It turns out she was Scorpius the third original pilot of Aquarion.
We'll have to note that Silvia not Celiane loved Apollo from the very beginning even if she did not know about it at first. Because she's the reincarnation of her alternate universe self.
Spoiler for Apollo, Silvia and Reika reincarnated in the TV universe:

I'm not saying the twist itself is bad I said it was horrible handled
Stuff like this should have been revealed during the original series
If they wanted to do this whole defying fate thing then they should have done it back then
What we ended up with is what we thought was a story about a love lasting 12000 years is actually about the reincarnation of a dog defying fate and NTRing his master and didn't even know about it until a few years AFTER it ended
What's more I will actually admit it I hate the twist itself too just because no one actually confirmed who Apollo was doesn't make it alright to make him a dog
I have not seen the OVAs but I heard it somewhat confirms Apollo as Apollonius in it, I'm not going to use that to bash the twist instead I'm going to make a point about Touma, apparently in the OVA I heard Touma made a remark that confirmed Apollo as Apollonius and now in this episode I learned that he was actually deceived and was mistaken creating no plothole but instead now I laugh everytime I see Touma speak
Basically the problem is not whether this makes sense or not, it's that Aquarion never feels the same to me again.

Yes, we've seen these a million times. And they still don't mean anything given that the whole dog storyline didn't go anywhere in the original series (and neither did the Reika=Sirius, regardless of the OVAs, because in the end it was completely irrelevant). No amount of screencaps will explain why, after a TV series, two OVAs, a movie, a novelization, a manga and a bunch of drama CDs no-one even thought of the possibility of Apollo being the reincarnation of Pollon. It doesn't explain why the dog was never made relevant in the series (never mind the OVAs) and stopped appearing and even being mentioned at episode 16. Just because it's possible to connect this twist to the series doesn't mean that it actually makes any sense in light of the actual plot and development in Genesis. It turns the whole reincarnation angle into a joke. It turns Touma into a complete and utter idiot. It makes the entire story a joke, and not even in a good way.
The only logical explanation: may be they wanted this originally, but in the end they scrapped the idea and never returned to it, even when they had the opportunity - until Evol when Kawamori took the wrong type of drugs or something. It's a retcon, plain and simple.

Actually the dog was seen in episode 25 in the flashback of Touma.
Touma was right that the Wings of the Sun Apollonius is Aquarion. He was wrong on the spiritual remnant that became human.

*whistles* I'm impressed yet again. So Kawamori had the nerve to put Pollon on screen with Apollonius in ep 25 while Toma talked about how Apollonius was reborn into a new form. I can't help but like such audacious trolling. I was already persuaded based on the other evidence that Apollo not being Apollonius + Apollo being Pollon was either planned all along or deliberately left open as a possibility (because there were far too many things to be coincidences), but at this point, I'm more inclined to believe it was planned all along. It's as if ep 25, for example, is saying to us that "Hahaha, you never would have paid attention to this picture before, but it is here, and Toma is being trolled too".

The point is Touma always knew about Wing of the Sun=Aquarion=Apollonius. What he was wrong about is that Apollonius spiritual ramains reincarnated as a human in Apollo.
You see he tried to jog Apollo's memory about how Apollonius and Touma love each other. But Apollo can only remember the love between Apollonius and Celiane... Because doesn't have those memories in the first place.
You see Apollonius soul remained in Aquarion. What disappeared was his body upon death. Touma made an assumption because his wing reading ability was flawless. Arrogance was Touma's mistake.

(a) would naturally be distasteful to anyone who finds the dog plot twist a punch in the gut and would like to be confident that Genesis couldn't possibly have been planned with the twist in mind, in order to preserve the memory of the first series.
(b)...Well, asking why some people would like the plot twist when you didn't like it is its own answer. It's a matter of preference. Personally, I don't find the plot twist a punch in the gut, and I don't believe it ruins any of the romance in Genesis at all. And I appreciate the twist on its pure trollery value. So I find the plot twist fun. For people who cared a lot about the reincarnation romances being Apollonius/Celiane and think that them being changed makes a mockery of the series, yes, I can certainly see why they would be really upset.
But we still need to wait and see what the next few episodes hold. Who knows what's going to happen before the end?

Immigration tide recedes
While the rhetorical fires raging around the issue of illegal immigration into the United States from Mexico remain fairly well stoked (it is almost another election season after all) what has actually begun to dramatically burn out is the phenomenon itself. Most politicians may not have noticed, considering how scorched and scape-goated undocumented migrants remain at the hands of some, but the flow of migrants into the north has diminished to a trickle and may even been statistically receding as some migrants turn around and head home. The New York Times' Damien Cave ("Better Lives for Mexicans Cut Allure of Going North") spoke with Douglas S. Massey, co-director of the Mexican Migration Project at Princeton, an extensive, long-term survey in Mexican emigration hubs: "Massey said his research showed that interest in heading to the United States for the first time had fallen to its lowest level since at least the 1950s. 'No one wants to hear it, but the flow has already stopped,' Mr. Massey said, referring to illegal traffic. 'For the first time in 60 years, the net traffic has gone to zero and is probably a little bit negative.' "
Obviously the poor economy in the United States has something to do with that decline and in the era of the federal clampdown on Mexico's drug cartels, the journey through the increasingly violent and chaotic transit zone of Mexico proper (many migrants are coming up from Central America and southern Mexico) has become a death-defying feat.
But a third reason for the decline may be a surprise to some north of the border: improving economic and educational opportunities in Mexico mean a hazardous migration north, once a rite of passage for Mexican young people, is simply no longer all that attractive. This change has huge implications for U.S. strategy regarding illegal immigration, focused as it is now on enforcement and interdiction and not on soft tactics like foreign aid aimed at advancing economic and educational development in the south. In the most concise terms U.S. policymakers would rather build a billion dollar fence than offer Mexico a fraction of that cash to help build a bridge to its future. Maybe we need to rethink that approach and contribute to building a hemispheric neighbor into a nation that citizens want to invest in, not flee from.
It will be interesting to observe if the decline in illegal migration, indeed the return of undocumented migrants to their home countries, will affect the political discourse on immigration reform in the United States. It's possible if passions recede parallel to the immigrant tide, comprehensive immigration reform may become more feasible. Who knows? Maybe even the most-vehement opponents of immigration may begin to recognize that, whatever one may feel about undocumented migrants, living in a nation that no longer beckons the tired, poor, tempest tossed and most adventurous, energetic and entrepreneurial of immigrants offers a different set of reasons to worry about the future in this land of apparently diminished opportunity.

How Many Retweets Did Ellen DeGeneres's Oscars Selfie Get?
The Anatomy of Ellen's Epic, Record-Breaking Tweet
Ellen DeGeneres hosted the Oscars, broke Twitter, and had pizza delivered all in one night. Job well done, Ellen.
The host's epic celeb selfie featuring Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and others spread like wildfire during the ceremony. The pic became the most retweeted in history, and today, Twitter broke down exactly how many people bore witness to this record-/web-breaking tweet.
Source: Getty / Kevin Winter
While Oscars-related tweets were viewed over 3.3 billion times worldwide, Ellen's tweet alone was seen in total over 32.8 million times across the web! By 8 a.m. PST on Monday, March 3, 2.4 million people had retweeted Ellen's tweet, 13,711 sites (like ours) embedded it, and 8.1 million different users saw the tweet directly from their timelines on Twitter.com, the Twitter mobile, and desktop apps.
The graphic shows how quickly a single tweet can go viral and also underlines the role the microblogging service plays during live television events. During these events, Twitter becomes a social epicenter. When there's a big game on, the season finale of a hit show is playing, or a big award ceremony like the Oscars or the Grammys is airing, Twitter transforms into a virtual watercooler.
It's indicative of a new trend: bringing a second screen into the viewing experience. Sure, some viewers are moving away from live television and toward on-demand services like Netflix. But social platforms such as Twitter are turning TV into another medium entirely. Social media lets lots of people share a common experience, and as this graph shows, a single post can be seen by millions.

Cecily Strong Poised to Take Over SNL's 'Weekend Update'
She'll join Seth Meyers starting Sept. 28.
With SNL head writer Seth Myers heading for Jimmy Fallon's job in February, SNL's "Weekend Update" is missing its host. That gig — the one the New York Times pretty aptly calls "an almost guaranteed ride to the next level of stardom" — is going to Cecily Strong, who joined the show last season and perhaps joined your life as the Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With at a Party. Strong will join Meyers on the desk during the Sept. 28 season premiere. The last three "Update" hosts were Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler, so yeah, it's looking good for Strong.
There's also, we should note, a tiny possibility Strong won't fully take over "Update" in the end. Lorne Michaels may try to persuade Meyers to stick around; his version of Late Night won't air Fridays, so he could drop in for quick rehearsals to keep doing his usual thing. (Taking Meyers's head writer gig, though, as co-head writers, will be Colin Jost and Rob Klein.)
Though people constantly bemoan the show's current laugh-level, with the departure of Fred Armisen, Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis, the criticism is likely to be particularly tough this season. Michaels took a preemptive shot at the haters: "People attach to the cast they see in high school. In those years they generally can't drive. They don't have any money. Staying up late is exciting. Being with friends up late is really exciting. So they're very connected to the cast they see then." That's why you don't laugh as much at SNL anymore. Just let go of your nostalgia!

To Russia with love and cup held high. Cyprus goes to Russia to avoid a raid on bank deposits and one might wonder if this is what the EU and the IMF had in mind all the time. In what could be a high stakes game of political chicken, it is possible that perhaps the threat to raid Cypriot bank accounts was a ploy by the EU and the IMF to get Russia to pony up to protect what is in essence a Russian satellite bank.
Seeing that almost half of the €70 billion deposits in Cypriot banks are Russian and some of that from tax evaders and money laundering, perhaps the threat was a ploy to force Russia to clean up the mess that they helped create. The EU often at odds with Russia perhaps balked at being a backstop for Russian financial shenanigans. Cyprus's finance minister Michael Sarris claims progress but no deal in a last ditch effort for Russia to come to the rescue.
The EU is talking tough as German Chancellor Angela Merkel is still demanding a raid on bank accounts is the only way to solve the issue. It almost like she would be happy to allow Russia to take over the Cyrus banks completely.
There is also an energy component underlying this story other than the risk-on/risk-off component that could have significant ramifications across Europe. Cyprus may be offering up its energy resources to Russia in return for a bailout. Cyprus has been banking on an economic renaissance based on the fact that a major natural gas discovery that may be there or may not be. Noble Energy drilled a well that has at least 7 trillion cubic feet of reserves leading to predictions of even more gas as high as perhaps another 30 to 70 trillion Cubic feet. Russia of course may move to try to solidify its suddenly shaky natural gas monopoly over Europe.
One report from the Financial Post claims that Russian energy giant Gazprom has offered the Republic of Cyprus a plan in which the company will undertake the restructuring of the country's banks in exchange for exploration rights for natural gas in Cyprus' exclusive economic zone, local media reported. They are saying that the company submitted the proposal to the office of Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades already.
The problem is that Cyprus has already sold a significant amount of those reserves to Turkey. It is possible that Gazprom is buying something that has already been sold. This game of chicken by the powers that be in the EU and the IMF by threatening to raid bank accounts has created a risk that may damage their longer term credibility. They may have also hurt relations with Russia that still can hurt them economically if they decide to cut off their gas supply in a tiff.
This brinksmanship will provide some cover for the doves in the Federal Reserve that are getting increasing criticism for its bound buying and QE program. Oil is up a tad as the EU seems to not to be in a real hurry to pull the plug on Cyprus. The EU did promise to provide liquidity based on the existing rules. This has provided a bit of support along with a supportive energy report from the American Petroleum Institute.

Since 1993 Dale Jones has been perfecting his craft and has become one of the most wild and energetic comics in the country. He has entertained audiences at comedy clubs throughout the United States and Canada. His zany on-stage character always sends club patrons to the exits with lots of questions but no disappointments.
His machine gun style of delivery and animated facial contortions combined with quick improvisations and non-stop physical comedy leave the audience wishing they had his energy. Forget "high energy"-- this is frantic! His shows are always a most memorable comedy experience. Club owners and managers have gotten used to fielding questions about when Dale will be returning.
Dale has had numerous television appearances including TBS - The Very Funny Show, NBC - Last Comic Standing Season Six, Fox - 30 seconds to Fame and The Comedy Network in Canada. He also appeared briefly in the 2003 MGM movie "Out Of Time" with Denzel Washington.
Dale started his career in Nashville, Tennessee. While working (mostly wasting) his days away in a factory, his co-workers dared him to try his hand at his life long dream, making people laugh. He stepped on stage for the first time at a Zanies Comedy Club's open mike night. Two years later, Dale turned a dream into a reality and started doing stand-up full time.
Dale has worked hard to develop an act that's truly original and non- stop funny, Dale has fashioned a show that reminds his audience of the great comedians that have influenced him. Abbott and Costello, Buster Keaton, Jerry Lewis, Tim Conway and Don Knotts.
These influences along with Dale's unusual observations, only enhance his unique gift for physical comedy and animated facial expressions.
He has be on 2 nationally syndicated radio shows; THE BOB AND TOM SHOW and The BOB AND SHERI SHOW. He was one of 8 finalists in "The Great Canadian Laugh Off and he was invited to perform at THE BOSTON COMEDY FESTIVAL and THE JUST FOR LAUGHS FESTIVAL - CHICAGO.

APS has registered its meeting with the Department of State, which should help you with your visa application.
Note: U.S. legislation requires foreign nationals to provide to air carriers a valid U.S. address during their stay prior to departure of their U.S.-bound flight. Most airlines require a passport number, as well as a valid U.S. address for the passenger's stay, at the time of booking.
The U.S. has updated its visa policies to increase security for citizens and visitors, so the process of applying for your visa may have changed from the last time you applied or may take longer. If you have any difficulty obtaining a visa for the meeting, please report your case to the Department of State and specifically mention The American Phytopathological Society Annual Meeting. Please visit www.unitedstatesvisas.us/ or http://travel.state.gov/visa for official information.
The Department of State encourages you to apply for your visa as soon as possible. The U.S. government is working to expedite visa processing, however visas can take up to three months to obtain so we encourage you to plan ahead to avoid any delays. Some consulates may have backlogs in scheduling visa interviews so applicants should contact the consulate to find out how long the wait is for an interview. Visa wait times are available at http://travel.his.com/visa/temp/wait/wait_4638.html.
Letters of Invitation are provided to international attendees after they have registered for the meeting. When a registration is successfully completed and paid, a confirmation e-mail is sent to the registrant from The Multisoft Group where a link is provided to the registration invoice/receipt. (Look for this confirmation e-mail in regular and junk e-mail files in case it is delivered there.)
On the invoice/receipt page of the registration there is an option for "Download Invitation Letter" on the left side of the page. Click on this link and print the invite letter.
The International Visitors Office is also a great resource for information about your visa. Visit http://nationalacademies.org/visas.

Homeland Security Detained US Citizen Inside The US, Used Intercepted Emails To Quiz Her About Her Sex Life
from the free-country? dept
She was not entering or leaving the country. She was not even boarding a flight. She merely accompanied a friend to the airport so that he could retrieve some computer equipment that he had shipped separately a few days earlier. After detaining Von Der Haar, CBP officials, who clearly had access to some of the emails Von Der Haar and her friend had sent back and forth, quizzed her about her sex life and if she was planning to marry the friend.
CBP appeared to be concerned that the friend, a Greek national named Dimitris Papatheodoropoulos, was trying to stay in the country illegally. Von Der Haar had first met Papatheodoropoulos 40 years earlier while studying abroad, and the two had recently reconnected thanks to the internet. Papatheodoropoulos had obtained a B1/B2 business/leisure visa to the US which actually let him enter and leave the country for a period of 10 years. He came to the US for business, but while there also wished to visit Von Der Haar since they'd been catching up online.
After detaining and questioning Papatheodoropoulos for some time, CBP officials took Von Der Haar into another room and started asking questions specific to the emails between the two of them. According to the lawsuit:
Given that Mr. Papatheodoropoulos had retained his hard drive that contained the emails, the only way that the Customs and Border Protection Agents could have reviewed the emails is for someone to have surreptitiously monitored the communications between Dr. Von Der Haar and Mr. Papatheodoropoulos and reported those communications to the agents questioning her. Defendant Lieba admitted that employees of the United States had read email communications between Dr. Von Der Haar and Mr. Papatheodoropoulos.This raises all sorts of serious questions. As the post at Papers Please (linked above) notes:
CBP officers grossly exceeded their jurisdiction. Dr. Dr. Von Der Haar's US citizenship was never questioned; she wasn't trying to enter, leave, or ship and goods in or out of the country; and she was never accused of any crime. In general, immigration (as distinct from customs) offenses are handled by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol, not CBP. We're curious what basis CBP will claim for its officers' authority to detain and interrogate Dr. Dr. Von Der Haar or obtain her email.The post also wonders how or why CBP got access to those emails, wondering if they were shared by the NSA. There are, of course, other possible explanations as various investigations may have resulted in CBP getting access to the emails separately, but it still raises serious questions about under what authority those emails were obtained and why she was then quizzed about her sex life.
The claims that officials made about Papatheodoropoulos were equally questionable. Again, from the lawsuit:
Customs and Border Protection agents seized Mr. Papatheodoropoulos' passport.The whole thing seems ridiculous yet again, and you can expect DHS to use its standard cloak of secrecy. I'm sure they'll argue some sort of state secrets or national security claim to try to get the entire case thrown out.
On June 8, 2012, Mr. Papatheodoropoulos was served with notice that a proceeding was initiated against him for removal from the United States. The notice stated, in relevant part:You obtained your B1/B2 visa by misrepresenting your intentions to come to the United States to wit; It is your intention to immigrate to the United States, you abandoned your foreign residence, you intend to overstay your admission to the United States.None of this was true.
Mr. Papatheodoropoulos consulted with lawyers and the Greek Consulate in Chicago and the removal action did not proceed.
His passport was returned to him and he left the United States at the end of August of 2012 and has not returned

Back in June I featured the first collection from lingerie and boudoir brand Naked Princess. Named 'Lovely Ever After'; a gorgeous collection of lace, cashmere and modal fabrics in styles designed to complement the female figure beautifully was one of my most popular Friday features.
This week I'm presenting the second collection from Naked Princess, entitled 'A Thousand Kisses Deep'. Inspired by founder Jordana Woodland's love of exquisite lace and couture lingerie these pieces have a special occasion feel, with some easily falling under that favourite category of mine, out-to-wear – like this boudoir garter camisole (above and below):
In this post I'm just focussing on the lingerie within the autumn winter 2012 collection. I'm so much in love with the new additions to the lip and body care line they deserve a feature of their own another time – like this body and boudoir candle.
When the wax melts to a touchable temperature it is transformed into a massage oil. Below: My Naked Princess collection. Je suis fan? Moi?
The philosophy of Naked Princess is close to my own heart. A luxe and comfortable collection aimed at inspiring women to "live beautifully, love deeply and reign joyfully" I think these pieces make a wonderful gift or investment in yourself. Below, the Chantilly Lace Robe with plunge neckline:
I was lucky to meet with co-founder Rebecca Frank before I left NYC to preview the spring summer collection for 2013, named 'Butterflies Begin'. Heavy on lace and introducing some soft colours (lavender, rose and peach) it's another exciting collection for its inner wear / outerwear potential. And gorgeously luxurious. All of it.

Monday's Afternoon Update
What you need to know about Florida today
Florida workers become business owners with community help
Sheree Blum was a special education teacher in Palm Beach County before founding her artistic glass business, Kicking Glass by Sheree.

NH congressional delegation, candidates at odds over immigration
By PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte is backing legislation to address the illegal immigrant issue by allowing for quicker deportation of children from Central America.
U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter wouldn't go that far, saying she favors speeding up the current legal processes for these children, who have overrun the southern U.S. border in recent months. And governors across the country are pondering a request by President Obama to welcome these children into their states.
The issue has sparked serious debate nationwide - spurred by Obama's request for $3.7 billion in spending - and local politicians have ideas for a solution.
U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen "believes the situation at the border is a humanitarian crisis,'' said spokesman Shripal Shah, "and as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, she will carefully consider the President's supplemental budget request once it is introduced."
Republican rivals for Shaheen's job and the seats held by Shea-Porter and U.S. Rep. Ann Kuster blame that trio and Obama for being "pro-amnesty.'' Other Republicans support new immigration legislation to tackle the problems on the border.
Governors across the country, meanwhile, are pondering a request by Obama to house some of the thousands of children.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Department has reported that more than 357,000 non-Mexican illegal immigrants have crossed the border during the last nine months, about 50,000 of them children. The children are being housed in Arizona, California and Texas and are being met by protesters while being moved around as the government decides what action to take.
Obama has called the situation an "urgent humanitarian crisis" while trading barbs with Congress. He has taken criticism for promoting policies granting free services to illegal immigrants.
Ayotte, R-N.H., has publicly backed legislation introduced July 17 that would return unaccompanied minors to their families in their home countries. The Children Returning on an Expedited and Safe Timeline (CREST) Act, introduced by Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Jeff Flak, R-Ariz., would also increase the number of immigration judges to more quickly dispose of cases.
"Any proposal to address the border crisis must include changes to current law to allow unaccompanied minors to be returned to their families in their home countries as quickly and safely as possible," Ayotte said in a statement. "This common-sense legislation would allow for the expedited return of unaccompanied minors no matter where they are from, expand the capacity of immigration courts to reduce case backlogs and establish other measures to help stop this migration."
Pro-amnesty policies faulted
Shaheen spokesman Shah said, "She is also reviewing additional legislation and potential changes to current law that may be needed to address the crisis. She believes that unaccompanied children from Central American nations should be processed for repatriation expeditiously, unless their lives are at risk or if they qualify for asylum or other humanitarian protections guaranteed by federal law."
Republican U.S. Senate challenger Scott Brown used the immigration issue as an opportunity to slam Shaheen for past support of the President's Dream Act policies.
"Senator Shaheen said that illegal immigrants descending on the southern border are fleeing violence based on gang and drug activity and that 'refugees' in danger of immediate threats back home should be allowed to stay in the United States. I disagree with Senator Shaheen on both the cause and the solution," said Brown, who voted against the Dream Act while representing Massachusetts in the U.S. Senate.
"The crisis on the border is mainly the result of the pro-amnesty policies supported by President Obama and Senator Shaheen, which have encouraged more and more people to come here illegally. While we need to act humanely, these new arrivals should be returned to their home countries."
Bob Smith, one of Brown's challengers in the Republican Senate primary, said the country's borders must be secured. (See related story)
"We should not be giving amnesty to anyone here illegally," said Smith. "They are children, and they are being used as pawns in the immigration debate, which is unfortunate, but they must be sent back to their homeland. We have a right to secure our borders and protect our country from whatever threats they may bring." Senate candidate Jim Rubens recently told The Monitor in Concord that the U.S. needs to consider changing the law so children can be turned back at the border. He also favors building a fence along the entire border, and he does not believe in amnesty, he told The Monitor.
2nd Congressional District
Kuster said: "As Americans, we must work together to immediately solve this crisis. First and foremost, we need to send a strong message to these children's families that these attempts to cross the border are extremely dangerous and that we will not reward reckless and illegal behavior. In addition, we should partner with other countries in the region to provide humanitarian relief to those children who are facing extreme danger, and we should send the children whose safety is not threatened back to their families in their home countries."
Gary Lambert, a Republican looking to challenge Kuster for her seat, does not want to see the children remain in the U.S.
"I do not support amnesty under any circumstances. We are a nation of laws. Rewarding those who have broken the law is never a viable solution," said Lambert. "The border crisis going on right now is a travesty and is truly sad. It was, however, entirely preventable.
"The Obama administration's promise of amnesty and failure to secure our southern border have exasperated an already poor situation. The current border crisis shows us why it is foolish to even consider comprehensive immigration reform before securing the border - it attracts thousands more across the border in the meantime. I believe the most important step toward solving our immigration problems is revamping our border security to include more boots on the ground, greater use of technological assets, such as drones, and fencing in appropriate areas."
Jim Lawrence, a Republican running for the U.S. House, suggested amending existing law to discourage so-called "coyotes," paid guides who help immigrants cross illegally.
"Do as President Obama had suggested as recently as earlier this summer," said Lawrence. "Amend the 2008 William Wilberforce Trafficking Law so that refugees from noncontiguous Central American countries can be treated as those from Mexico are. Doing this would sharply reduce financial incentive for coyotes to bring unaccompanied minors to the border."
State Rep. Marilinda Garcia, another Republican hoping to take Kuster's House seat, said she was "deeply troubled" by the situation.
"This crisis crystallizes two critical issues," Garcia said in a statement. "First, our border is not secure, and second, our current immigration system is broken. Due to Congress' inaction and insistence on trying to pass jumbled 'comprehensive' bills, we find ourselves in the familiar situation of President Obama asking Americans for billions more dollars to react to a situation that ought not to have occurred in the first place."
Garcia said she thinks the crisis has put states in difficult positions if they are asked to house the immigrant children.
"New Hampshire is a welcoming state that cares for the most vulnerable among us," said Garcia. "Yet, how can we, in good conscience, as state legislators or local government officials, agree to welcome individuals detained at the border when President Obama has refused to share the most basic of information? This is yet another example of where President Obama and his allies in Congress put state and local government in the position of bailing out their inept policies, and it is wrong."
William Hinkle, press secretary for Gov. Maggie Hassan, wrote in an email Friday that he had no knowledge of New Hampshire officials making plans to assist in the crisis by housing the immigrant children here.
1st Congressional District
Shea-Porter, D-N.H., said, "We must secure the border and allocate resources to expedite the legal process these children go through.
"I expect to review and vote on House legislation to address these goals before the end of July," she said.
Dan Innis, a Republican rival of Shea-Porter's, said on Friday that he would like to see more emphasis put on determining the reasons behind the sudden influx of illegal immigrants.
"Why now?" said Innis. "The President has called this a humanitarian crisis, but these conditions have existed in Central America for years. Why the sudden influx now? There must be something behind it, but I don't think anyone's determined why yet."
Frank Guinta, another Republican hopeful in the district, said the crisis is an example of failed policies in Washington.
"Make no mistake about it, the President's emergency request for $3.7 billion is an admission that his policies have failed," Guinta said in a statement. "The border remains unsecured, and this de facto amnesty program supported by Congresswoman Shea-Porter has led to a flood of immigrants crossing our border illegally. This is straining municipal and state budgets while causing a grave humanitarian crisis as thousands have traveled in horrendous conditions to seek amnesty."

Eyes Lips Eyes are the ingredients to awesomesauce.
And I'm not just saying that because I'm writing this at 3:30am on a bout of insomnia or because they're playing LOUD NOISES at NerdMelt tomorrow night. I'm saying this because they kick some serious butt. I mean, any band who's music video premise is them being chased by a giant, terrifying baby is okay in my book.
"Pretty" makes you feel young again, or, if you're already young, it makes you feel ALIVE. Eyes Lips Eyes, to me, are a less depressing, more accessible Interpol. Oh, and they're so pretty. So if that's not a reason to listen to them, I don't know what is.
Pluggy plug plug! If you're in LA, come see them @ NerdMelt TOMORROW, Saturday March 3rd! Also playing is Sue Scrofa, as well as the comedy stylings of Brandon Vaughn, Eric Dadourian and Karl Hess.
Stay beautiful, Nerds!

Super Smash Bros. is a game that was released for the Nintendo 64 in April 26, 1999. It was developed by Hal Laboratory. It is the prequel to Super Smash Bros. Melee and thus it has much similar gameplay. Unsurprisingly, Pokémon are found in this game.
It is a 2-dimensional (with some 3-d aspects) fighting game which can be played with a number of Nintendo characters in a number of stages from various Nintendo games. These include Hyrule Temple, Mushroom Kingdom, and the top of the Silph Co building from Saffron City.
The characters include Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Fox, Ness, Link, and of course Pikachu and Jigglypuff as well as a few others. Some are available at the start and some have to be unlocked. Later, the series started putting in more characters each for new game.
Like Melee, it has 1 player modes as well as 2 player. Unfortunately, adventure mode and all-star mode was not introduced until Melee. But classic mode is fun as well.
Several of the 2-player stages in this game can be unlocked in Melee. They are known as "N64 stages." Also in Brawl, you can unlock "Melee stages."
One of the items available in this game is the Poké Ball. When you pick it up and throw it, a Pokémon comes out and attacks the other players. The Pokémon that can come out include Beedrill, Venusaur, Electrode, and Mew. Many other Pokémon from different generations are available in Melee and Brawl.
Playable Characters (listed by series)
- In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl, they both have 4 Pokémon characters that you can play as.
- Unlike most characters in Super Smash Bros. series, Jigglypuff, along with Yoshi, are the only characters that don't have recovery moves.

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport
Press Room
Planning for the Hurricane Season - 6/1/2013 -
View Document
June 1st heralds the first day of the 2013 Hurricane Season. Many hurricane forecasters have begun to make their predictions for the season. Regardless of the predictions, the key is to be prepared and have a storm safety plan.
The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is an important facility to the community, especially during an emergency event such as a hurricane. We participate in preparedness exercises and training for all types of disasters every year, because our number one concern in an emergency is the safety of our passengers, our neighbors and staff. The Airport prepares for many types of emergencies, including Tropical Storms and Hurricanes. Our Hurricane Preparedness Plan includes coordination with local, state and federal government officials, as well as airlines, tenants and vendors who operate at the Airport. Airport staff conducts a yearly review of the Plan to identify any changes needed since the last storm season.
Here are some important facts that our readers should know regarding the Airport's operation prior to the impact of a storm. If a tropical storm or hurricane is approaching the New Orleans Metro area and River Parishes, the Airport will remain open for as long as the airlines continue to operate flights. The decision to cease flight operations will vary from airline to airline. Each airline determines when to terminate their flight operations based on the evolving weather conditions, not the Airport. If you plan on traveling by air out of the region due to an impending storm, plan early and keep in contact with your particular airline for flight status. If you are traveling with pets, check with your airline prior to coming to the Airport to verify that they allow pets to travel on their aircraft. Please be aware that not all of the airlines allow pets and there are federal limits as to the number of pets allowed on each flight.
In the event of the impending landfall of a tropical storm or hurricane to our area, law enforcement presence will be enhanced to ensure a secure environment and controlled access to the Airport facilities. When a storm is approaching and you have confirmed flight plans, please make sure you carry some form of flight confirmation and personal identification as it may be required for entrance to the Airport terminal. The flight confirmation may be an email detailing your flight information, a boarding pass or ticket receipt. If you do not have the necessary documentation, it may delay entrance to the Airport. At the peak of the storm and continuing until Airport recovery efforts are completed, access to the Airport will be restricted. Please know that the Airport is not a public shelter during a storm or hurricane event. Once flights cease, the general public and non-essential personnel will be asked to evacuate from the Airport. For safety reasons, the general public will not be allowed to ride out a storm at the Airport.
For the latest storm information regarding your scheduled flight, refer to your airline's web site or their customer service telephone number. The latest information about the status of an impending storm may also be found at the Airport website, www.flymsy.com with updates posted as warranted. Facebook and Twitter will also be used to keep the public informed.
If an air evacuation is deemed necessary for citizens, transportation for airlift evacuations will be managed and operated through a designated government agency, not the Airport. Those who plan to participate in a city or parish assisted air evacuation should follow the directions of their city or parish authorities and proceed to the designated pick up locations.
If a call for evacuation is made this season, please monitor your radio and/or television and follow the instructions given. It could save your life and the life of your loved ones. In the event a storm does pass our way, it is imperative that everyone have a personal storm plan. If you have not developed a storm plan for this year, please do so as soon as possible.

Authors Guild Worried About iPad Ebook File Sharing... But Focused On The Wrong Thing
from the people-are-reading! dept
Now, the latest, is the fear that with the success of the iPad in the market that it will become a popular platform for unauthorized sharing of ebooks. Apparently, author Scott Turow has recently taken over the Authors Guild, and has decided that ebook "piracy" is a "big problem" that has to be the focus. Perhaps next time the Authors Guild wants to show itself to be forward-looking and able to change with the times, it shouldn't put a 60+ year old lawyer in charge. Just a suggestion... Rather than saying that unauthorized file sharing is such a big problem, perhaps Turow should take a look at the music industry more closely. He seems to only be superficially aware of what's happening in that industry. Instead of recognizing that the industry wasted over a decade fighting what fans wanted, he seems to think that he can magically fight what every other industry has failed to fight. That doesn't seem like a strategy that has a high likelihood of success.
Perhaps, instead of automatically blaming those involved in file sharing, Turow should take some time to understand why it's happening, and look at those who have figured out interesting and unique models to provide more value for consumers who want it, rather than just focusing on the impossible task of trying to punish those whose actions the Authors Guild doesn't like.

You are right. Many of our dreams is just for filing or our fears, but when they involve people around us write it in your journal and see what their outcome is. Some are not exactly as we dreamed it, but its pretty close. Some will not happen until a few years, so how can we keep track? I do because I have always been in a close community and I tell friends, sometimes they have reminded me. Now I tell my wife.
As for WHEN, I usually remember the people if they are older/grey-er or the surrounds. In the case of my son, the time is near because in the dream when they said the car crashed I was getting water from a neighbor since my tank had run out. In a few weeks, my water WILL run out and wont fill until June to September when rainy season starts. So thats my time window when he will not go to Mexico, Mid March to June.
I hope its not unique because that why I am on this forum so that i can find others to talk to and share with. I believe its not. I think people just need to pay more attention to those involved in their dreams and write them down. It just that when you tell the people in real life they think your crazy so you dont want to say anything. You keep it to yourself and get on with your life.
Most of the time I just tell my wife. She is used to it.

In 1945 Brioni opens its first boutique in Rome on Via Barberini 79 soon becoming the lifestyle of choice for movie stars, heads of state and business leaders
In 1952 Brioni is the first brand in history to stage a men's catwalk show pioneering the usage of male models. The event which took place inside the Sala Bianca at Palazzo Pitti in Florence introduced new silhouettes, bold colors and innovative fabrics.
In 1959 the Brioni ateliers open in Penne, Abruzzo, home to the heart of the Italian tailoring tradition. Called Brioni Roman Style, the state-of-the-art factory introduced the concept of Prêt Couture that sealed the international rise of the brand
The longstanding bond that links Brioni to the film industry and iconic Hollywood stars begins in the years of La Dolce Vita
In 1985 the Company founds in Penne its tailoring school, Scuola di Alta Sartoria, with the aim of transmitting to younger generations the genius of the Brioni sartorial method
Through the '90s and '00s Brioni was the name behind the style and unmistakable allure of 007
In 2016 Brioni opens its new Paris Flagship Store developed by David Chipperfield Architects. Depicting the contemporary essence of Rome where Brioni heritage, its roots and its tailoring tradition merges with the present and the future, the store emphasizes the brand's distinctive identity

Silver (state) bullet
A proposed Mexico-to-Canada highway gets mixed reactions.
It'll carry Mexican produce north, put rural towns on the map and transform isolated cities into transportation hubs. But though funding for Interstate 11 is non-existent and construction still decades away, opposition to the Mexico-to-Canada corridor – the first new interstate since I-70 was completed in 1992 – is already gathering steam. "We know freeways drive development and sprawl," says Sandy Bahr, director of the Sierra Club's Grand Canyon chapter. "And we already have huge air-quality problems in the Phoenix area."
Or, as Tonopah, Nev., business owner Ron Browning grumbled to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, "By the time they get a freeway built, we'll be flying cars."
A section linking Phoenix and Las Vegas – the largest adjacent major U.S. cities not joined by an interstate – is the top priority, with planning underway. Supporters cite economic benefits, safer driving and decreased traffic jams. But along less-developed routes north of Vegas and south of Phoenix, the response is less enthusiastic. In Picture Rocks, Ariz., retiree Albert Lannon enjoys sleeping on a futon outside his doublewide, listening to great horned owls. "I'd hate to listen to the sounds of traffic instead," he says.

Little Sci is the only explanation…
For why Katie Holmes stepped out like this in New York last night. The only.
After all, she has said before that Suri picks out her clothes. God I hope so. Because if a grown woman had put all this together, and one who calls herself a "designer" at that, well f-ck me it's worse than we all thought.
The thing is, taken individually, these pieces, they could be great. Maybe not the skirt, but I'm just not a fan of that length. The problem, obviously, is that Katie is wearing everything at once. It's so shockingly bad that at first I wondered whether it was actually a cry for help. Like a sartorial Panic Button. We're supposed to see it and conclude – let's move in for a rescue?
No rescue.
That woman with her looks like the same chaperone-friend who's always around. You know, the only one she's allowed to hang out with. Remember? Click here for a refresher. She looks like Tom Cruise, non? I'm told it's actually his sister.
And those were chills, chills, chills that just ran down your back.
