90s Pixel Mash-up
Hey, I am currently trying to write a series about monster hunting teenagers set in a world rife with schizo tech, magitek and anachronisms. There are three main characters; one is essentially a ninja, the other two are a couple - the girl is the adventurous type whilst her boyfriend is much more timid. I have been struggling for a while to come up with abilities/tools for the two. For the girl, Aria, I am looking for something that makes her powerful but not necessarily super strength, more something that comes from within herself that means that she doesn't have to rely on others. For the guy, Theo, I am looking for something less direct. He's never been the violent type and isn't really proficient with any weapons or anything like that. He's more of a strategist but at the same time he needs something to defend himself with. I have come up with a few ideas: For Theo: Stasis gun (essentially freezes people in time but requires expensive ammunition) Reality altering gauntlets (limited in range and need equivalent matter to create) Bubble gun (fires explosive bubbles, poor range but good for strategic placement) Probability manipulation (create a strategy and then make it more or less likely to work out with the flip of a coin)

Hmmm. Well, how about this?
- I take it Aria's supposed to be the direct/physical attacker of the two, so I'm thinking that a Power Fist of some sort might fit. They could give her a slight edge in her attacks, and she can empty her own energy into it for stronger attacks (if you've ever seen Big O, it could work something like this.)
- As for Theo, how do you feel about him using some sort of bond creature? It could attack and defend on his behalf, since he's not much in the way of combat. On top of that, he could command it using a calculator or notes or something, even going so far as to add some sort of probability program in the mix. Barring that, he could just throw dice. That'd be cool.

Both of those sound pretty cool and are leaning towards ideas that I already had which is nice. For Aria I like the idea of the gloves being a little more complicated than just punching things and I think the idea of pouring her energy into them helps with that. I might tweak the idea slightly and have the gloves produce a push or pull effect depending on which hand she uses (Left - Push, Right - Pull) and have the power determined by how much energy she pours in. I've been watching a lot of Buso Renkin recently so the idea of a kind of Bond Creature is what I had in mind (I know they're not exactly the same in BR but still). I also had in mind that he'd be a character quite similar to a standard RPG protagonist in that he'd collect a fair few tools to aid him over the course of the story (helped by the fact that he's kind of a shopaholic in that regard).

Out of curiosity, what sorts of powers do the heroes' enemies have? It might be interesting/enlightening to compare their skill sets to the heroes and toy around with them. Theo could go up against an enemy who relies heavily on brute force, for example, and totally screws up his calculations. Or, they could use the same skill sets, and test each other in a Mirror Match.

Firearms owners in suburban Cook County will face fines up to $2,000 if they don't report to police when their guns are lost, stolen or sold under an ordinance commissioners approved today.
The plan, pushed by County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, will apply to all areas of the county where a similar law is not already on the books. It will not apply within the city of Chicago, which has its own firearms statutes.

Produced by female undergraduates at Stanford, the she++ Video Library is meant to inspire young women to study for careers in computer science.
By Tom Abate and Priya Ganesan
A group of female undergraduate students at Stanford is encouraging girls and young women to study computer science by means of an online video library that features motivational interviews with Silicon Valley women in computing.
The videos were produced by she++, a two-year-old volunteer organization at Stanford University dedicated to empowering and encouraging women to pursue tech fields.
Curious? Check out the online question-and-answer session at 10 a.m. PST today (Wednesday, March 5) here.
In the past, she++ has held conferences and other events designed to interest students, especially young women, in computing. This year the members decided to broaden their reach by producing an ongoing series of short YouTube videos, the she++ Video Library, the first six of which they are releasing today.
"We wanted to showcase a lot of different people and careers so that viewers could watch the videos and see future versions of themselves represented," said first-year student Alyssa Vann, one of the leaders of the video library project.
The videos are aimed at high school and college students, teachers and counselors. But the Stanford undergraduates who made the videos hope that parents will share the interviews with their children and help them expand their horizons.
"Many people, both girls and boys, start shying away from computer science at a young age," said Stanford junior Saguna Goel, who is a co-director of she++'s 18-person team.
The videos range from three to 10 minutes long. The interview subjects are women who hold jobs in programming, project management, computer security and other aspects of computing.
"Many students struggle to get past common negative preconceptions about the tech industry and the people in the field," said Amber Rockwood, a senior who worked on the videos and will go to work for a high tech firm after graduating in June.
The first six videos feature Raylene Yung, an engineering manager at Facebook; Reshma Saujani, founder of the outreach group Girls who Code; Masha Sedova, a cybersecurity expert at Salesforce.com; Christina Forney, an internal tools engineer at Palantir Technologies, a data visualization firm; Helen Hastings, she++ director of finance and developer at the Stanford Virtual Human Interaction Laboratory; and Jessica Lord, a designer at GitHub, a site for sharing and developing software as a group effort.
Part technical tutorials, part a repository of career tips, the video library is designed to encourage and empower more people – particularly women, minorities and high school students – to study technology and pursue tech careers.
Gabriele Fisher, a first year student at Stanford who served as lead researcher on the she++ Video Library team, said one lesson that emerged from the videos is the variety of paths that interview subjects took to arrive at their computer science careers. For some, the gateway was an interest in graphics, while others got into software development as a way to accomplish other goals, such as creating applications for local government.
"Computer science doesn't mean sitting in a cubicle and having to code," Fisher said.
The group formed in 2012, when she++ hosted Stanford's first ever conference on women in technology. The following year, the group hosted a second conference and produced she++:The Documentary, which has since garnered over 80,000 views.
Other initiatives include a mentorship program to pair high school students with men and women pursuing degrees in computing or in the tech industry and a fellowship program known as "#include" that helps high school students start tech initiatives in their own communities.
In April, she++ will host the #include Gala (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/she-gala-2014-tickets-5449563792), an event that will bring industry women together with female high school and college students to build an extensive and long-lasting support network.
Eventually, she++ members hope to foster such support networks and build a culture of women helping other women.
Reshma Saujani, one of the featured speakers in the video library, puts it this way: "Twenty-first-century feminism is about the sisterhood. We're powerful. We're bad-ass. We're the majority in college; we're the majority in the workforce. Eleven million of us make hiring decisions. It's really not about men and sexism. It's about us."

For me, it's a dead heat between a group of Belgian teenagers disappearing into a wonderland beneath the stage and being told stories in a video shop – although I also rather enjoyed seeing Tennessee Williams mashed up by hip New Yorkers, as well as watching comedy critics smashed (at football) by comedians wearing cowboy boots. Theatre critic Lyn Gardner rated Tim Crouch's head-scratchingly brilliant The Author and Marianne Oldham's turn as The Girl in the Yellow Dress as well as the performer who clambered his way through the ionosphere into space.
Our comedy maven Brian Logan loved Des Bishop's tribute to his terminally ill dad, had a change of heart about Josie Long – and, yes, fell for the story of the fringe (and eventual comedy award winner), Bo Burnham. My colleague Laura Barnett was knocked out by some Glaswegian boxers , while Tom Lamont on the Observer was both shaken and stirred by David Leddy's Sub Rosa, a site-specific spinechiller lingering on the horrors of the Victorian stage.
Anyone who was at this year's Edinburgh festival will have their own memories of what thrilled, moved, delighted or just plain bored them. And now that the mothership of festivals is over – yes, it's only just finished: I wrote our first festival blogpost a month ago today – we want to hear about yours, whether you were knee-deep in the thick of it or watching keenly from the sidelines. This being the year that Twitter ruled (and hacks, of course, having a thing about pointless trends), we'd love your 140-character snapshots of how #edfest was for you. What did you love? What did you hate? What got you going? What left you cold? Memories, thoughts, spots, best bits, worst bits – post them all below.
Just as importantly, we'd appreciate your thoughts about how the Guardian covered the festivals. We loved your tweets and your comments, and are slightly jealous of the quality of your photographs. But what did you (blushes, looks at feet) think of us? What do you wish we'd done more of? What shouldn't we have gone near? What did we get wrong? Did we get anything right? All feedback welcome. Enough from me. Over to you.

The Syria Files,
Files released: 1432389
The Syria Files
Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.

The year 2013 started with a very warm and dry January. An area of high pressure settled over Florida and the sinking air caused the air at the surface to heat. Most days were 6 to 8 degrees above normal and on some occasions we saw the temperature soar to 20 degrees above the norms. It turned into the 8th warmest on record for the Suncoast and the 5th driest on record.
The dry start to the year was put to an end by Tropical Storm Andrea. Andrea turned on the rains and brought us some wild weather. Mosquitoes soon became a problem and many home owners found some erosion problems on their property. Andrea did not make a direct hit but rain bands brought two tornados to the Suncoast. Both were EF-0 tornados, the weakest types, but did damage. In Venice the damage path was a mile and half long and in Mayakka City three roofs were damaged. In addition, wind gusts of 60 mph were clocked offshore of Anna Maria and 40 mph in Sarasota. Charlotte Airport recorded 58 mph. It was a reinforcement of the rule that we cant be too focused on the exact track of the storm as the effects can be felt well outside the cone.
After Andrea the subtropical high set up shop and brought Florida a constant southeast wind for the summer rainy season. The pushed the east coast seabreeze over to our coast most days and helped bring huge rainfall totals. The dry start ended with record Florida rains with the Suncoast seeing 35 to 45 inches in many locations and Fort Myers seeing 60+ inches.

When Annika Sorenstam stepped away from golf before last season, she avoided using the word retirement.
That left the door open to speculation over a return.
In case you're wondering, with the LPGA's 2010 season beginning this week, Sorenstam reports no irresistible urge to return to the game.
She's focused on raising her 5-month-old daughter, Ava Madelyn, with her husband, Mike McGee, and on growing her Annika brand and businesses.
"Right now, playing is not on my radar," Sorenstam said. "I'm busy with all the businesses we have going, the foundation, the academy, the golf course design, the wine, fragrance and clothing. It keeps me very, very busy."
Sorenstam's step away from the game didn't come at a great time with the dismal state of the economy, but she has her own philosophy on that.
"The timing was probably not the best," Sorenstam said. "But it helps us stick to the values and morals and different promises within our brand. These are the times when you weed out businesses that are not solid. I think this is a very good time to build our foundation and be ready when the storm turns. Then I think we will do really well. It's a matter of sticking it through.
"I compare it to golf. You have a few bad holes, a storm comes and you deal with the elements. The players with the best fundamentals and patience and strategy are the ones who are going to do the best."

The troubled NBA's Los Angeles Clippers rounders team is facing a terrible rumour that they are about to be bought out by the former CEO of Microsoft Steve Ballmer. Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft, was scheduled to meet with Shelly Sterling, the wife of Clippers owner Donald Sterling, this weekend to discuss buying the team.
Donald Sterling was dropped from the Leage after making racially charged remarks in an audio recording. Sterling has opted to hand over control of the team to his wife so she can negotiate its sale. A number of names have cropped up as possible candidates to take over the team, and Ballmer's name was shouted out. (Perhaps Sterling should move to Europe and become an MEP, he ticks all the right boxes. Ed)
Ballmer, reportedly worth $20 billion,might take the team to Seattle. The local team was taken to Oklahoma and renamed Oklahoma City Thunder and there have been numerous calls to bring an NBA team back to the city.
Such a move would make Ballmer a local hero at least somewhere in the universe. There's also the possibility of Ballmer using his technology ties to further push the Clippers, which are the league's worst and most underexposed teams.
Ballmer is the second Microsoft bod to own an NBA team, the first being Paul Allen, the owner of the Portland Trailblazers. Since Allen took over the team has done rather well.

Some fear U.S. gaining a warrior class
Published 10:41 pm, Saturday, January 19, 2013
Washington --
Before a roadside bomb in Baghdad burned and tore apart Jerry Majetich, before 62 operations put him back together, even before he volunteered for the Marines, then the Army, there were five older brothers who'd enlisted and a mother who'd served as an Army nurse in Korea.
His family background shaped former Staff Sgt. Majetich, who's now 42, a single father and an investment firm vice president in Jacksonville, Fla. Despite the torment since the 2005 blast, that history is part of what moved his 21-year-old son to consider leaving college to pursue a military career, and his 17-year-old daughter to join her high school Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
"I'd be thrilled if they chose to serve," he said. "Despite everything, I believe in military service."
This month marks 40 years since the United States ended the military draft, and an ever smaller slice of the population appears to share Majetich's belief. Statistics are rare, but a Department of Defense 2011 Status of Forces survey indicated that 57 percent of active troops today are the children of current or former active or reserve members of the armed forces.

A recent Gallup poll showed that despite the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a much smaller percentage of those who've reached military age since Sept. 11, 2001, have served than in previous decades.
Part of it is simple demographics. While the U.S. population has grown since the draft ended in 1973, the military has shrunk. But this all-volunteer force appears to be passing from generation to generation, bringing up the worrying notion that the United States is developing a warrior class.
"The declining veteran population is one of our concerns, since there are fewer young adults in American society who are exposed to military service," said Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a Pentagon spokesman. "While the armed forces continue to be largely representative of the country as a whole, nearly four decades of an all-volunteer force has shaped who is most likely to serve and from where."
In the wide halls of the Pentagon, the military often is referred to as "the world's largest family business." The fear among some military leaders, politicians and experts begins with the belief that as fewer segments of society have family or friends in uniform, others become desensitized to the risks and stresses of military service. The feared risks range from a reluctance to fully support those who serve to an almost cavalier willingness to wage war, reasoning, "That's what they signed up for."
Military and civilian officials admit that there are some positives in the smaller recruiting pool. The children of service members enlist understanding the job. They often were raised around the military and aren't shocked by the culture, the level of expectations or long deployments.
Consider the Cotter brothers, who share a military life in the Flint Hills of central Kansas.
Several years ago, with college over and the recession in full swing, Gregory Cotter realized that his teenage dream of escaping the family business was a mistake.
"As a teenager, I wanted to do anything but this," he said
But like his father and two brothers, he enrolled in the Army.
A tour in Afghanistan now behind him, Sgt. Cotter, 27, lives at Fort Riley, along with his twin, Andrew, a lieutenant, and their 28-year-old brother, Brian, a captain, both of whom served in Iraq. Their father, Col. David Cotter, retired not too far away, in Platte City, Mo., outside Kansas City.

Devils' Top Line Giving Canes Fitsby Paul Branecky / Carolina Hurricanes
|Paul Branecky
|Index | Archive
"They're clearly playing exceptionally well, they've got great hands and their work ethic I think is probably what they bring every night," said Canes Coach Paul Maurice.
Travis Zajac, who centers the trio, scored the overtime winner in Game 3. He hadn't scored a goal since March 17 prior to that, although his all-around play and two assists in the series didn't make that much of a concern.
Although that was certainly Zajac's turn in the spotlight, the star of the series has undoubtedly been Parise, whose five points have him in a four-way tie for second place among all playoff scorers.
"We need to do a better job on him," said Maurice. "I'm not sure he necessarily needs a shadow, but certainly a better awareness of when he has the puck. He seems to be able to hold onto it a lot longer than we'd like.
"Taking the puck from him wasn't something that other teams had been able to do over the 82-game regular season, and I don't think it's going to be any easier in the playoffs for us."
Not unlike the Devils, the Canes scored a lot of goals in the regular season by forcing turnovers from the opposition's more offensive-minded players and moving quickly in the other direction. Given the way Parise and company have been playing in this series, that simply may not be a possibility.
"We'll try to match that and understand that when they have the puck, we're not looking to steal it to go to offense," said Maurice. "We're just looking to shut them down."
"We've just got to finish our checks, play hard, skate hard, play solid defense and know when they're out there," said Tuomo Ruutu. "Obviously, they're a great line."
Two of Parise's goals have come from redirects from point shots, which Hurricanes goaltender Cam Ward has had absolutely no chance to stop. Those unfamiliar with the 5-foot-11 forward's resume might not expect that from a smaller, speedier player, as that skill set is seen more often with bigger, more powerful players who make their living parked in front of the opposition's goal.
"He comes through there and you've got to be aware of him," said Eric Staal. "You've got to be aware of his stick, and guys who score that many goals during the year find that area and find that puck, so you've got to make sure you tying up that stick and being hard on him. You've got to be more aware of him than we have been."
While shutting down the Devils' top unit will undoubtedly be a team effort, Maurice said the coaching staff will consider making a lineup change on the defensive end. Dennis Seidenberg, a reliable shot-blocker, has been a healthy scratch for each of the last two games.
"We've got seven healthy defensemen, and we believe in all of them," said Maurice. "We'll look at that for tomorrow, as we do after every game."


text: WASHINGTON *This one left Pete Mackanin shaking his head. "If you would have told me that we'd hit three three-run homers and lose the ballgame, I wouldn't have believed it," the Phillies manager said after his team hung around and hung around before losing, 11-10, to the Washington Nationals on Friday night (see observations).

SEOUL -- A top North Korean official said Monday his nation will suspend the work of its more than 50,000 employees at a joint industrial park that had been one of the proudest examples of cooperation between North and South Korea.
Kim Yang-gon, secretary of Workers' Party central committee, visited the Kaesong complex just north of the demilitarized zone between the two countries early Monday and later issued a statement that the North would "examine the issue of whether it will allow its existence or close it."
After weeks of heightened tension in the Korean peninsula, the North last week banned the entry of South Korean workers and raw materials for the industrial zone. About 475 South Korean managers remained at the site, though it was not immediately clear Monday for how long.
"North Korean workers left work at 6 o'clock today as they usually do. We'll know tomorrow whether they will come to work," a South Korean manager told the Associated Press. He requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the media.

The Research Coordinator is supervised by the Head, Physician Assistant Studies.
Factor 1: Professional Knowledge, Skill, and Technical Mastery
Level 6 - 4500 Points: Knowledge of a wide range of concepts, principles, and methods of an administrative, academic, managerial, or professional field. Knowledge permits the employee to develop new or substantially modified approaches that diverge from standard methods to improve administrative and/or line operations. Knowledge also permits the employee to plan steps and carry out multi-phase projects requiring problem definition and modified techniques, to coordinate work with others, and to modify methods and procedures to solve a wide variety of problems. Knowledge requirements may include evidence of the ability to manage programs and/or lead and direct other professionals. Knowledge requirements for jobs at this level typically include a level of education beyond the Bachelor's degree with comprehensive related work experience, frequently including substantial administrative or supervisory experience, and knowledge of higher education processes, policies, and procedures. Alternatively, this level may require a professional or clinical specialty beyond the Bachelor's with moderate related work experience. The knowledge requirement at this level may also include a terminal academic degree with an appropriate level of leadership and/or administrative experience.
Factor 2: Supervisory Responsibility
Level 1 - 50 Points: Typically, little, if any, supervision of others is required. The job may require irregular but occasional responsibility to direct the work of student workers and/or temporary or part-time workers. The nature of supervision is largely confined to assigning tasks to others and does not include a full range of supervisory responsibilities. The amount of time spent on directing the work of others is normally a small portion of total work time.
Factor 3: Interactions with Others
Level 3 - 250 Points: The purpose of interactions is to advise or counsel others to solve recurring and structured problems, and/or to plan or coordinate work efforts with other employees who are working toward common goals in situations where relationships are generally cooperative. Interactions are moderately structured and routine and may involve employees in different functions, students, and/or the general public. These types of interactions require normal interpersonal skills.
Factor 4: Job Controls and Guidelines
Level 2 - 250 Points: The employee carries out a group of procedures using the general methods and desired results indicated by the supervisor. Typically, standard operating procedures, handbooks, and/or reference manuals exist for most procedures, but the employee must select from the most appropriate of several guidelines and make minor adjustments to methods. Unforeseen situations are normally referred to others for resolution. Assignments are related in function and objective, but processes, procedures, or software varies from one assignment to another. Based on the assignment, the employee uses diverse, but conventional, methods, techniques, or approaches. Employees in jobs at this level may perform work that is moderately complex, but normally performed within a fairly narrow and specific functional area.
Factor 5: Managerial Responsibility
Level 3 - 850 Points: Work involves providing significant support services to others both within and outside of the department that substantially influences decision-making processes. Work activities are complex and others rely on the accuracy and reliability of the information, analysis, or advice to make decisions. Work activities have a direct, but shared, impact on further processes or services, affect the overall efficiency and image of the department, and may have material impact on costs or service quality within the cost center. Incumbents may be responsible for identifying areas of need and for developing proposals that request funding to fulfill those needs.

In this client-based online game, no one can be trusted. Make your way through abandoned cities and look for other survivors that might be willing to join your nation. The free-to-play RPG is a sandbox game and truly has too many features to list.
Most MMORPGs these days feature similar gameplay mechanics. While developers try to set themselves apart by adding innovative elements, most titles still end up being your run-of-the-mill roleplaying game. The Repopulation claims to be different and plans to revolutionize the free-to-play market by being one of the biggest sandbox titles to come out in years. From combat to crafting: Almost every aspect of the game can be customized to your liking and made to fit your preferred play style. Even player-versus-players combat promises to be different, according to Above and Beyond Technologies.
Here's the main plot for The Repopulation: Most life forms have become extinct. The only ones left are us - human beings. Instead of living in harmony and sharing the planet's resources, the human race has split up into different nations. The world of Rhyldan is at war and you will have to build up a certain reputation before calling a city your home. Players decide which population they'd like to see grow by gathering resources and adding structures to increase infrastructure.
When you first create your character, all skills will be set to Unskilled. It's up to you to pick the ones you find the most rewarding and use them, as that's the only way to increase them. All talents fall under a certain category. While Animal Handling, First Aid and Entertainment are seen as beneficial skills, Swimming and Thievery count as being general skills. Each and every weapon available in this free-to-play MMORPG has its own skill tree as well. Threaten your opponents with a shotgun or let your fists do the talking - the choice is entirely up to you.
If you happen to play with your friends, make sure to adjust your abilities to their specialization. That'll give your team the upper hand in both PvE and PvP battles and make sure you are able to counteract every type of attack. According to the official website, The Repopulation features two distinct combat systems. Choosing the Roleplaying Game mode will give you individual actions bars and show cooldown timers, whereas the Action Mode will make it look like you're playing a first-person-shooter. And that's only the beginning of what this sandbox title has to offer...
12/23/2014 02:57 am - Whether you are interested in roleplaying or would rather just go crazy in shooter-based gameplay, this upcoming online game has a game mode for everyone. The Repopulation is currently in alpha testing, but Early Access is now available on Steam...more
09/09/2014 04:44 am - From going on fishing trips to exploring the open world of The Repopulation: This upcoming free-to-play online game has plenty of new features for you to try out. Check out the latest alpha teaser to get a glimpse of the new sci-fi world...more
11/04/2013 07:00 am - This free-to-play MMORPG allows you to create your own base and explore vast landscapes. How you play is entirely up to you......more
12/23/2014 03:12 am - From its early Kickstarter days to the release on one of the biggest gaming platforms: The Repopulation has followed a long and winding road to get where it is today. Above and Beyond Technologies has been working hard on the futuristic sandbox...more

I just had a brief chat with Buster Posey's agent, Jeff Berry, who told me he has not heard from the Giants about a 2012 contract for Buster Posey, and both sides have indicated to me they are not expecting discussions about a multiyear deal.
None of this is surprising in light of Posey's injury last year. There are lots of unknowns for both sides. Had he played a full season, the story might be different. Posey will be eligible for salary arbitration after this season as a "Super Two" player, which means he'll have four years of arbitration eligibility, not three.
At some point, the Giants will want to discuss a long-term deal that buys out arbitration years and gives them cost certainty while providing Posey some financial security. But there seems to be no urgency to do it now.
Posey earned $575,000 last year in his first full season in the majors. The deadline for signing him and all other players not yet eligible for arbitration is March 11. I'm guessing he and the Giants will reach an agreement, but if they can't, the Giants have the right to renew Posey's contract at whatever figure they choose. Either way, he is unlikely to reach $1 million.
I asked Buster about this the other day. He said he had no idea where negotiations were, and he doesn't want to know. He'll let Berry do the work on the phone while he does his work on the field, and he and his agent will chat when there's something to chat about.

Shondaland partner Betsy Beers and director Euzhan Palcy, the first black woman to helm a Hollywood film (which earned Marlon Brando an Oscar nomination, no less), gave new meaning to the term "power lunch" on Monday as the two women were panelists at the Women in Global Entertainment luncheon, now in its sixth year, hosted by The Hollywood Reporter along with A+E and Lifetime networks, at MIPCOM in Cannes.
Palcy regaled the audience with stories about researching the 1989 anti-apartheid drama A Dry White Season, including smuggling tapes out in her underwear because she was afraid for her safety, and the hard-earned love and respect she received from Brando after the two butted heads during the editing process.
She also recalled that when doing press back then, journalists would often ask her where the director was, assuming they were waiting for a man.
Beers, who has produced films such as Casanova (2005) and 200 Cigarettes (1999), said she didn't realize how male-dominated the film business was until taking her first TV meeting and being shocked at having two or three female executives in the room.
Women were allowed to move up in television because viewing decisions were often made by moms "holding the clicker" for the whole family. While that has changed in the Netflix era, the structure of television works well with women's "get it done," multitasking mentality.
"There's something about the energy of television that is very practical," said Beers. "There's the deadline and there's a lot less drama about it, and you have to make good product to have something that will continue."
Television also allows time for more nuance and character development, allowing female creators to tell the kinds of stories they want to tell.
"You can have twisted, strange, complicated people that still have relationships, and you will find people that watch those shows and are enthusiastic and support those shows, which is wonderful," she said.
Shondaland's hit shows on ABC - Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away With Murder - pay off not only dramatically, but financially as well.
"Anytime we bring diversity into a show's world, you get a better product. So what I say to people is, 'You may not understand this, but I swear your product will be better and you will make more money,' and that usually works," Beers said of appealing to Hollywood's bottom line.

A+E chief marketing officer Amanda Hill agreed that television allows more freedom for creators and that the current crop of shows demonstrates viewers' desire for real, relatable characters.
"This is a generation that refused to be boxed in," she said, noting today's female characters are "fun, fearless and - thank god - also f - ed up."
Continued Hill: "As storytellers, we can repaint the pictures of what is possible, we have the ability to change the social discourse." Good, groundbreaking television then empowers women to "rewrite their own stories," she said.
UnREAL stars Shiri Appleby and Constance Zimmer are women who embody those values on and off screen, said Hill as the actresses took the stage.
"We are furthering the conversation of what women look like in the workplace," said Appleby of the reality TV producers she and Zimmer play on the show. "They don't have to be polite, they can be driven and they can be ambitious and willing to win at any cost."
Zimmer said that the focus of UnREAL has also hit a nerve with women because it puts the characters' friendship at the forefront of the story and that the imperfection of the characters is what is most appealing to viewers, even the show's male fans.
Appleby added that there has been a big shift during the 15 years she has been in the TV business, pointing out that on Roswell, on which she starred from 1999-2002, there was one female director in 65 episodes. During the 10-episode first season of Lifetime's UnREAL, four episodes were helmed by women.

Chapter 4 : The Homecoming
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 2
Background: Font color:
The darkness that was once the high of his life, now has disappeared from the face of Luscious Malfoy. He is indeed now grateful that his family is safe. Those months of torture by the dark lord had taken its toll on Luscious, but his family is safe, and once in his life, he seems happy. No longer does he have to hide from fear, nor does he have an obligation to hide from what he was. He was a death eater. At one time, a proud thing, now just the talk of it could put you in Azkaban. Luscious didn't want to go back.
That place was a hell all in its own. Thanks to his wife, Luscious is not in jail. He was saved, because she saves the boy who he was taught to hate the most. She saved Harry Potter from the forest, lying to Lord Voldemort that Potter was dead, when in fact he was faking the whole time.
It still runs through his mind all the time. How could a mere boy, who was just in school, defeat the world's greatest wizard? That fact alone still boggles his mind. The ministry seemed to be lenient on Luscious, with the testimony he made. He did not participate in the battle, and there for, with the testimony, he had immunity. He had his old job back, and did it quite well.
His attitude had changed, and everyone could see it, even those who are in the order. They knew he went through a lot, and they had pity on him. As day goes by, his reputation as a Death Eater was slowly diminishing. His reputation as a Pure Blood is as well. He knew that he owed the wizarding world a lot of gratitude, none other than Harry Potter.
Draco thought for sure, that he'd end up expelled and thrown into Azkaban. He was shocked when an owl came by and dropped off his Hogwarts Letter. His mother and father seemed proud. However, Crabbe is dead and Goyle....well who knows if he's going. He hasn't had an owl back from him so far this summer.
With his father in prison, and the roles the played in the battle, he thought that he would be the only Slytherin there. He had his chance to show everyone what he could have been, only to be shunned by the person known to him as scar-head. And though that hatred had been boiling to a maximum, he knew himself, that his and Harry's rivalry was over with.
"You want me to do WHAT?" said a screaming voice to Emily. "There is no way in..." Her first reaction was to look at her mother before she finished that sentence.
Emily looked at her daughter with a look of excuse me, but then played it off. "All you have to do is get in the fireplace, throw the Floo Powder and say the word Grimmuald Place. Just enunciate, and you'll be fine! I promise."
Emily knew all too well that it wasn't going to be fun, but spending money to take a plane and traveling for 10 hours, especially with a witch would be frightening. Emily hadn't traveled by Floo in a long time, but remembers it vividly. But if she could be with Sirius again, then by all means, they were going to London.
After numerous times to tell Hailey to do it, she finally had to threaten her with grounding. As all teenage girls do, then see right through the bluff most times, but decide it's better to not irritate their parents anymore than she had too. Finally, Hailey had to courage to do it. "Grimmuald Place", she said very clear. And with a green flash, she comes walking out of the fireplace, to a place that she had never been before. Then the green fire flared up and Emily comes walking out.
"See," she said. "No problem."
Hailey would have to agree until she see's her clothes! "THESE WERE MY FAVORITE SHOES!" And with that loud sound, many people come walking into the room they are at.
"Emily?" said a voice that Hailey recognizes as the old woman she saw in the fire at home. "Minerva", said Emily. "It's been such a long time."
"Too long, my dear.", said McGonagall. "And this must be Hailey. It is such a pleasure to meet you."
Hailey kind of gave a small curtsy, but straightened up and reached her hand out and gave McGonagall a hand shake.
"You're things just arrived before you did, and they are in your rooms.", she said.
Emily nodded, as an unknown man comes up. Hailey's mother starts to tear up, as the red haired man looked at her. Arthur Weasley looked at the woman, as tears flowed through her eyes. The man stretched out her arms, and all Hailey heard from her mom was "Daddy"!
Author note - Ok, so Emily is a Weasley. I had issues with one reader before I went on the re-write this story, who stated that "I find it disturbing that this character is a Weasley, etc… and that Harry's god mother in some sort is the single mother of his twin sister, which by the way he's dating his sister's mother's sister." Trust me, it was a mouthful for me when I read the review. So in a sense, she's not a real Weasley, but don't let Arthur and Molly hear you say that, or you'll be cursed for sure! Hope you enjoyed this small chapter, and I will have more. Also, I know that Arthur and Molly are a few years older than Harry's parents, etc… In this point of view, they are at least 16 years older, just so this could easily make more sense. Thank you and please review if you haven't yet.

Spokane, Wash., Feb. 10.
iThis is Comanche. He's the only
animal that' escaped from the
Custer massacre.
He now rests in a snug-corner
of the animal exhibit in the Uni
versity of Kansas Museum, with
his hide stretched over a mounted
statue. Looking as natural as
life, he seems to snooze away,
dreaming of the days when bat
tles raged and horses leaped at
the smell of powder. He is ad
mired by the thousands attracted
to the exhibit each year.
In the world of horses, Com
anche was most famous of them
all. When a colt, he was cap
tured in a wild herd in Texas.
Unruly as a savage, he received,
the name Comanche. Capt.
Keogh, U. S. A., bought him and
rode him onto the fated field with
Custer, from which no human be
ing returned.
Two days after that famous
o'utrage, Generals Terry and Gib
bon arrived on the scene with
relief. The soldiers found Com
anche several miles from the bat
tlefield, dazed with seven bullet
wounds in his body.--
He carried the gallant Keogh
to his death and escaped. The
men prepared to shoot hini to re

ed at his horrible devastation, a
feeling of affection for the lone
beast came over them and they

Midland's Brad Barnes ends MMA career with win
Published 8:00 pm, Friday, April 8, 2011
In front of a hometown crowd, Midland's Brad Barnes ended his Mixed Martial Arts' cage fighting career exactly the way he wanted -- with a win.
Barnes beat Matt Holland with an armbar submission of Matt Holland at the 2:45 mark of the first round at the Horseshoe Arena on Friday night.
"No better way to go out than in front of the hometown. Everybody says I want to see you but not everybody can travel," Barnes said. "I'm glad to go out with a win, most don't go out with a win. Chuck Liddell didn't go out with a win."
Barnes added that even though he's still young enough to compete he's still competed for a long time and has seen plenty of changes in the sport during that time.
"I'm 29, it's not that old but I've been doing it for 10 years," Barnes said. "Back then, I told people I was doing cage fighting and most people thought it was WWF."
He also added that this is definitely his final match unless a dream match came up against somebody he grew up idolizing.
"I will not fight MMA again," Barnes said. "I would only fight if a long shot match with somebody I grew up watching like Ken Shamrock came up, but that's probably a long shot.
In Friday's other fights, Seminole's Luis Luna won a decision, 30-27, 29-28, 29-28 over Cody Pfister.
Former Midland Christian football player Clay Hantz defeated Edwynn Jones with a rear-naked choke at 2:22 of the first round.
Russell Brewer delivered an impressive knockout in five seconds to start the event.

There are conflicting theories on what caused a powerful blast that tore through a lounge in a busy Playa del Carmen resort, killing seven people, including five Canadians, over the weekend.
From the start, Mexico's state prosecutor and local officials said trapped gases from a nearby swamp ignited and blew up.
However, on Tuesday, investigators said they had found a ruptured sewer pipe about 10 metres from the site of the blast at the 676-room Grand Riviera Princess resort. They added that it was too early to definitively state the cause of the explosion.
"The investigation is focused on the possibility that leaks and an accumulation of waste water in the foundations could have caused the concentrations of methane, which could have caused this explosion," said Felix Gonzalez Canto, governor of the southeastern state of Quintana Roo.
Olev Trass, a chemical engineering professor at the University of Toronto, told CBC News on Tuesday that the swamp gas scenario was likely.
Swamp gas, also known as marsh gas or landfill gas, is a biogas that's produced when organic material like dead vegetation rots in an oxygen-starved environment such as a swamp, marsh or peat bog.
Canadians killed in Mexico blast
- Darlene Ferguson, 51, of Ardrossan, Alta.
- Malcolm Johnson, 33, of Nanaimo, B.C.
- Chris Charmont, 41, and his nine-year-old son John Charmont, of Drumheller, Alta.
- Elgin Barron of Cambridge, Ont.
"It is fairly likely indeed because it can collect underneath the hotel," Trass said. "As any vegetable matter decays under conditions [where no air is present], they generate methane gas and that has to go somewhere.
"Normally it would go out into the atmosphere and nobody would be bothered by it and you might see the occasional little bubble coming through the water and nothing else. But if you block off that access to the atmosphere, then it builds up and it simply builds up pressure … all you needed was a tiny spark and the whole thing would go up."
YOUR REPORT: Have you stayed at this resort? Share your stories
Some resort guests reported a smell of rotten eggs in the days leading up to the explosion. Swamp gas sometimes has a "rotten egg" smell because of the presence of small amounts of hydrogen sulfide produced by the decaying matter. But the most common component of swamp gas is methane, a colourless, odourless and flammable gas.
"Once you get that gas … usually there is some sulphur in the vegetation and, therefore, you get a bit of hydrogen sulphide that has a rotten egg smell and I think that is what can be detected, even in tiny amounts," Trass said.
"I think that smelling that hydrogen sulphide is the best way to find out is there something [wrong] and apparently there was something."
Environmentalists in the area said they had warned authorities not to allow construction on fragile mangrove areas where decomposing organic matter creates methane gas.
However, a delegation from Mexico's Environmental and Natural Resources Secretariat (Semarnat) cast doubts on the swamp gas theory.
Gabriela Lima Laurents, a representative from Semarnat, told reporters on Tuesday that the explosion was likely linked to problems with the operation or maintenance of the hotel.
"I'm 100 per cent sure that it was due to an operational problem in the hotel's infrastructure, and not an accumulation of gas in underground caves," said Lima Laurents.
"If that was the case, not only [the state of] Quintana Roo but the entire [Yucatan] peninsula would be in danger to explode or would have already blown. I believe it has to do with a failing of the hotel, but that will have to be determined through a forensic investigation."
Others have suggested that the wide use of propane and other gases for cooking and heating water in the area might be a more logical explanation for the blast.
In the meantime, the resort remains open to visitors. Trass said people should not be unduly worried.
"I think that I would keep my nose in shape, but otherwise it's such a very rare event and I think that all the newer hotels or buildings built on wetlands in general would have that ventilation system built in."

EU's Draft Fund Manager Pay Rules Will Backfire, Lawmaker Says
European Union proposals to limit fund manager bonuses are "crude" and would drive up fixed salaries if implemented, said Syed Kamall, a London lawmaker in the European Parliament.
The plan to ban managers of so-called UCITS funds from receiving bonuses larger than their fixed salaries would damage the link between pay and performance, Kamall, who is in charge of examining the draft rules for the parliament's Conservative group, said in an e-mailed statement today.
"Unfortunately, there is simply an ideological objection from Christian Democrats, Socialists and Greens to high salaries," he said. "This means that we are less focused on meaningful transparency of fees and making sure asset managers do not receive bonuses when their funds perform poorly."
The draft rules for fund managers go beyond planned EU curbs on banker pay that would allow bonuses of twice fixed salary. European asset-management firms are concerned the proposal, which may affect two-thirds of senior fund managers, may cause a bidding war for their best-performing employees, increasing fixed costs and making the industry more vulnerable to market downturns.
EU lawmakers supporting the cap say their proposals will rein in risk-taking and better align the interests of fund managers with investors.
Asset Managers
"It's frustrating that we are not focusing on making sure asset managers' fees and bonuses reflect their performance," Kamall said.
Parliament lawmakers discussed the UCITS rules at a meeting this week in Strasbourg, France. Talks are set to continue on the measure prior to a vote by the full assembly. Members of the assembly's economic and monetary affairs committee called for the fund manager bonus curbs earlier this year.
UCITS, or Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities, had more than 6 trillion euros ($7.8 trillion) under management as of April 2012, according to the European Commission. The funds are regulated at EU level and have the right to operate throughout the 27-nation bloc if they meet minimum oversight and investor-protection standards.
The full parliament is set to vote on the measures before the end of July.

Press Releases
Conviction Underscores Veterinary Medical Boards efforts to halt unlicensed operators
August 17, 2012
Glenn Mason (916) 574-8168
WILMINGTON A Ventura County woman has been convicted of practicing veterinary medicine without a license following an investigation by the Veterinary Medical Board.
Katheryn Shafer, who was doing business as Houndstooth Pet Teeth Cleaning, 1547 Banning Boulevard in Wilmington, pleaded guilty to performing a dental operation upon an animal without being properly licensed and without the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. She has been placed on two years' probation, fined $2,225.00, and ordered to serve 80 hours of community service. Senior Deputy District Attorney, Linda Groberg, of Ventura County was the prosecuting attorney on this case.
Shafer's conviction was the result of an investigation prompted by a consumer complaint. Investigators with the board conducted an undercover operation in which a dog was brought into her shop to have its teeth cleaned. After the cleaning Shafer was asked for her license and issued a citation for unlicensed and unlawful practice of veterinary medicine.
"Unlicensed activity is illegal," said Susan Geranen, Executive Officer of the Veterinary Medical Board. "In addition to the potential harm for animals, unlicensed activity undermines the credibility and undercuts the business of licensed professionals, and costs California billions of dollars in lost revenue."
# # #
The mission of the Veterinary Medical Board (VMB) is to provide protection for consumers and animals through proper licensing of veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians, and through vigorous, objective enforcement of the California Veterinary Medicine Practice Act. The VMB is an agency within the California Department of Consumer Affairs.

Bozhou – Capital of Chinese Medicine
Bozhou's farmers grow over 500 different variations of Chinese medical herbs on a cultivation area of over 1 million mu (about 165000 acre). This has led to many Chinese medicinal herbs carrying the name Bozhou in it. For example, herbs such as "Bozhou Peony" , "Bozhou Chrysanthemum" , or "Bozhou Mulberry Cortex" have been included in the traditional Chinese medicinal materials recorded in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China.
Having the largest industry of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Bozhou hosts the Annual Trade Fair of Traditional Chinese Medicine and International TCM Expo every year for 25 years and 4 years respectively.
The provincial government is more and more encouraging investment into Bozhou, especially in sectors such as culture and tourism, and modern Chinese medicine. Currently Bozhou's administrative departments and government parties are working on projects such as the Ming and Qing dynasty style blocks restoration, a theme park construction showcasing TCM health preserving, Taoism, a cultural tourism zone of ecology, exploration of hot spring resources and many more. In the modern Chinese medicine sector investors and advocates are working on new types of Chinese herbal slices, traditional Chinese medicine extraction, Chinese patent medicine manufacturing, traditional Chinese medicine health care products, traditional Chinese veterinary drugs, or traditional Chinese medicine additives.
