Message-Movie Shell Game
Homophobia, exit through the gift shop.
I'm reading the Hollywood/Broadway memoir "Original Story By Arthur Laurents" right now, to calm myself between maddening excursions into Jane Mayer's expose of the Koch brothers (a.ka. why you no longer live in a democracy), and came across this interesting Hollywood "message movie" shell game.
Laurents' first theatrical play, "Home of the Brave," was made into a movie in 1949. The play was about anti-Semitism but Hollywood made it about racism: a black soldier rather than a Jewish soldier was attacked. Why the switch? Because both "Gentleman's Agreement" and "Crossfire" had been released in 1947, so it was felt that anti-Semitism "had been done."
Interestingly, "Crossfire" had originally been about homophobia but of course that wasn't commercial in 1947. So...
- homophobia --> anti-Semitism
- anti-Semitism --> racism
No surprise, I'm sure, to Laurents, who is both gay and Jewish, and who had written the following earlier in the memoir, which was published in 2000:
I believed most Americans were prejudiced against homosexuals, Negroes and Jews, in that order. I still do. It's somewhat less overt now because it's somewhat less sanctioned, but bigotry is still alive and killing in the U.S.A.
And here's his take on the switch, not to mention "Gentleman's Agreement":
In the screen adaptation produced by Stanley Kramer, the Jew was changed to a Negro. When I asked why, Stanley replied: "Jews have been done." He was referring to the movie Gentleman's Agreement, in which Gregory Peck played a gentile (no stretch) pretending to be a Jew (only in the movies). The picture's moral was Be nice to a Jew because he might turn out to be a gentile. The film version of Home of the Brave was highly acclaimed and was a commercial hit. Not a critic, not a vocal soul was bothered that there were no racially integrated units in the Army like the one in the picture. It was a movie.
It's a good memoir. So far a swirl of wit and drink and sex in New York in the 1940s. Haven't gotten to the blacklist yet.

That Idiotic 'Hail, Caesar!" Race-Based Protest
On the town.
Thursday was an annoying online day for me. First that idiotic Frank Underwood meme, then this. Clowns to the right of me, jokers to the left.
On the Daily Beast site, frequent contributor Jen Yamato interviewed the Coen Brothers about their movie, "Hail, Caesar!" and asked them about #OscarSoWhite. They weren't really hip to the protest. Or they thought everyone cares too much about the Oscars. Which is true. Here, too. Although, in my defense, I don't really care so much as I'm intrigued by what the Academy decides to honor each year; what the conversation is. Really, the point of the Oscars is to disappoint, and everyone has their breaking point when they stop caring too much. Mine happened in March 2006.
Anyway, Ms. Yamato brought up why the cast for "Hail, Caesar!" was in fact so white: all of these white 2010s Hollywood stars playing 1950s Hollywood stars. The answer, of course, is obvious, but in the piece she only brings it up to bypass it:
Such overwhelming whiteness could conceivably be explained away by pointing to the milieu of Tinseltown circa the 1950s, when the industry's racial demographic was far less diverse than it is today. I asked the Coens to respond to criticisms that there aren't more minority characters in the film. In other words, why is #HailCaesarSoWhite?
Then the Coens responded. And they weren't exactly Minnesota Nice about it.
"It's important to tell the story you're telling in the right way, which might involve black people or people of whatever heritage or ethnicity—or it might not."
"You don't sit down and write a story and say, 'I'm going to write a story that involves four black people, three Jews, and a dog,'—right? That's not how stories get written. If you don't understand that, you don't understand anything about how stories get written and you don't realize that the question you're asking is idiotic."
He added:
"It's not an illegitimate thing to say there should be more diversity in an industry. But that's not what that question is about. That question is about something else."
In a way, Yamato was brave to include all of this in her piece. She allowed herself to be an idiot in print to make a larger point.
Except she, and a lot of other people, think her smaller point is the legitimate one. Some of these people are friends of mine who are friends of hers, and who defended her on the usual social media outlets. I went the opposite route. I pointed out that all of these hashtag protests actually cancel each other out:
- #OscarSoWhite only because...
- #MovieIndustrySoWhite, and...
- It was incredibly so in the early 1950s, when "Hail, Caesar!" is set, which means ...
- #HailCaesarSoWhite as a protest makes no fucking sense.
So Thursday was a long day.

I'm Not Saying HUAC was Fascist, But...
From "J. Edgar Hoover Goes to the Movies: The FBI and the Origins of Hollywood's Cold War" by John Sbardellati (recommended):
In one sense HUAC wished to restore the entertainment function of Hollywood. According to Jack Moffitt, Communist propagandists had been waging a battle to make the cinema a "forum for reform" by favoring social problem films "attacking American institutions, showing up the worst side of it." Committee member John McDowell agreed and repeatedly advised "that pictures ought to stay in the pure field of entertainment."
And from "Cinemas of the World: Film and Society from 1895 to the Present" by James Chapman (also recommended):
Goebbels, for his part, was firmly of the opinion that feature films should provide escapist entertainment for the masses and that direct propaganda should be confined to the newsreels.
Comparing Shots: 'Revenant' and 'Clockwork Orange'
You know that head thrown back, helpless and enraged look on Leo's face as his son is killed in front of him in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "The Revenant"? This one:
It felt familiar to me. It took a little thinking, and then I remembered. I don't know how I could ever forget. The rape scene in "A Clockwork Orange":
Patricia and I saw "The Revenanat" yesterday, and it's much recommended for people who like this kind of thing—which seems to be fewer and fewer of us. But it's truly breathtaking and horrifying. It's not nature good/man bad; each have their horrors. Further reading here: David Thomson in Film Comment.
I was exhausted after the screening yesterday. I was exhilirated but thought, "Glad I saw it but I don't want to sit through it again." It's a day later and now I do. I've got my second wind. I'll be the one who returns.

Every Step in the 'Star Wars' Saga Has Ruined the First Ones
"Star Wars" was wholly original when it was released in 1977. It was a sci-fi adventure with "A" production values—Saturday afternoon serials combined into one great story. From the opening crawl, to the gigantic ship pursing the tiny one, to all of those crazy, metalic characters, we were mesmerized.
If we'd only known what George Lucas had in mind. Because this is what the opening of the movie, long renamed "Star Wars IV: A New Hope," is like now:
- A princess in outer space is being pursued by her father, although she doesn't know he's her father, just as he doesn't know she's his daughter.
- So she downloads important intel into a droid, and sends this droid and another droid (who was built by her father when he was a kid) to the random planet below.
- Except it's not a random planet. It's her father's home planet.
- These droids are then bought at a weekend sale ... by her twin brother, who doesn't know they were sent by his twin sister, whom he doesn't know he has, nor that one of them was built by his father, whom he assumes is dead.
- Meanwhile, in outer space, the father tortures the daughter for information.
- Meanwhile, the daughter's message finds its recipient: the man who mentored the father when he was a young boy, and changed him from a precocious, cherubic kid to an angry, mopey teenager. The mentor decides to do the same with the son. He starts out by lying about who his father is.
Really, it's the most fantastic series of coincidences in any story ever.
You could argue it's the Force doing all of this—binding the story together. But then I'd argue that the Force is a pretty shitty storyteller.
Hopefully, "VII" won't screw things up more.
NOTE: An earlier version of this stated incorrectly that R2D2 was built by Anakin; appaerntly only C3PO was built by Anakin.
Daddy-daughter day: You put the rebel plans into a droid and sent it to my home planet, where it's being bought by my son? I'll torture you for that, young lady.

The Cleveland Browns have a solid team right now. They have a good offensive line, a group of young receivers each with different strengths, and a potential solid tandem at running back with Trent Richardson and Montario Hardesty.
The defensive line has players that could fit any scheme, and three safeties in Tashaun Gipson, TJ Ward, and Eric Haag that will give defensive coordinator Ray Horton a few options from which to assemble packages.
The Browns pieced together an ambitious, aggressive coaching staff for first time head coach Rob Chudzinski. They now enter the time when they can add more players to the team via free agency and the draft.
Given the placement of their picks, the Browns are left with a big decision in the NFL Draft.
Cornerback and linebacker, in either order, will probably be their first and third round picks. With Barkevious Mingo, Jarvis Jones, and Dion Jordan, there are solid options at the linebacker position in the 2013 draft. The Browns may go with a linebacker in the first round if they pursue Captain Munnerlyn or Keenan Lewis in free agency, and probably pick either position again in the third round.
Flip that around and think about Milliner opposite Joe Haden. That combination elevates the Browns' corner position to a very high level. Milliner carried himself well at the combine, was disappointed when he did not pull in a ball thrown at him, and seemed to interact well with the players and staff. He was well-coached in college. His former teammate in the defensive backfield, Mark Barron, had a solid rookie year in 2012.
Cleveland has linebackers and will need to figure out how to scheme them. Jabal Sheard will probably move to linebacker, but they could use some additions. Kruger would give the Browns an aggressive, relentless motor and someone the coaches have seen on tape.
They can build the linebacker scheme from there while Milliner makes his way in a good group of young defensive backs. He has a level of talent that would make the back end of the defense very competitive.
I like either scenario. Each improves the defense and would solidify a defensive backfield that we know is on the cusp of being very good.

Government development adviser's family owns land on Lantau
The family of a government adviser on Lantau development owns a lot of land on the island, according to his declaration of interests.
In addition, three other non-official members of the government-appointed Lantau development advisory committee have properties on the island, as well as planning director Ling Kar-kan.
The records also show that nine of the 19 non-official members work for or hold shares in companies that have businesses on the island.
But Randy Yu Hon-kwan, a Heung Yee Kuk councillor and a son-in-law of powerful New Territories kingpin Lau Wong-fat, stands out with his family's extensive land ownership.
Yu and his mother have three homes in Tai O, while his in-laws possess 29 plots of land in Tung Chung and four in Yi O.
Yu is also general manager of Sino Land.
The interests of the non-official members, together with those of Ling and other officials sitting on the committee, were released yesterday.
The body was formed four months ago to advise the administration on development plans for Lantau. Its first meeting took place more than two months ago.
Others who are linked to the island via company interests include Shui On Land development consultant and former legislator Lau Ping-cheung and John Swire & Sons director Ivan Chu Kwok-leung.
Andrew Lam Siu-lo, a top antiquities adviser to the government, reported holding stakes of more than 1 per cent in six firms having businesses on Lantau and its vicinity.
But company registry data records Lam as a director rather than a shareholder of three of the firms.
Lam also co-owns two flats in Tung Chung.

Theresa Leos told Manteca firefighters she was taking a shower when she heard cracking noises and left the bathroom to check the source. She was met with smoke and fire at her windows and immediately went running to awaken her daughter Tasha Ruiz.
Her husband Ronnie had already left for work. She called him immediately after she called 911 and he returned home.
The daughter, a senior at Sierra High School, said her mother yelled at her that the house was on fire and they had to get out. They fled out the front door wearing only what they had on – in the mom's case it was only a towel. Neighbors were there to provide clothing for them both to wear. Tasha said she remembered to grab her cell phone before running out the door.
A next door neighbor, Sergio Segura, said he was shaving when everything got dark – looking outside he saw nothing but smoke. Segura told of hearing an explosion that firefighters said was probably from the tires blowing out from the heat on a 2006 BMW that was parked in a carport next to his home – it was completely gutted.
Firemen narrowed the cause to a malfunctioning water heater located outside the home in the carport. Leos had told firemen the heater was a source of concern in recent weeks. They moved into the home only two months ago – taking out renters' insurance just four days ago.
It took about 20 minutes for firefighters to get control of the fire.
"At one point during the initial stages of the fire, crews had to back out of the structure due to the extreme heat of the fire and attack the fire from the exterior," Division Chief Randy May said. After a few minutes firemen reentered the structure and gained control of the fire.
What wasn't burned was completely covered in black from the smoke and the heat.
Tasha is scheduled to be graduating from Sierra High tonight. Her gown was untouched by the fire where it hung in her bedroom closet but she did say it was pretty smoky. She was hoping to be able to get the gown cleaned and find something she could wear to graduation.
There was concern about the welfare of the family's two cats – Tiger and Pumpkin – but they turned up safe later in the day.
A small rear house in the yard just to the north also had damage to its siding but the quick work by firemen saved that structure and the larger home to the front of the property.
Fire department spokesman Traig Smith said if the ladder truck hadn't been dispatched initially with the other engines they would have lost the two houses next door. "They would have been fully involved," he said, noting the intensity of the heat from the fire.
He said that when engine-1 first arrived on the scene the fire "was blowing out both sides of the house and the carport." Flames were leaping some 15 to 20 feet in the air. A five-inch supply water line they laid down from a hydrant on North Street was driven over and ruptured by a citizen's vehicle producing a geyser that could be seen reaching 25 feet into the air above the trees.
The home had three bedrooms with dayroom and bathroom additions. Firemen also located a safe in the home they said continued to be hot to the touch as they attempted to cool it down with water.
A total of 24 firemen – including several reserves – responded to the blaze along with an engine from the Lathrop-Manteca Fire Department. They were on the scene for about five hours – four of that was for cleanup.
May estimated the loss to the building at $122,000 and $60,000 to the contents. He also noted there were no smoke detectors in the home.
Last month, an apartment complex fire on North Poplar Avenue left one family homeless that didn't have a place to stay. The Red Cross came to their aid for three nights putting them up in a motel. When their time ran out Manteca firefighters from Local 1874 went to their aid and found them another place to stay while their apartment was being restored.
A "Natasha Ruiz Leos Fire Recovery Fund " has been set up to help the family made homeless by Thursday's fire get back on their feet. Those wishing to help may contact Citi-Bank in Manteca. The account is in the name of Natasha Ruiz and the account number is 40052540545.

BlogHer Food Conference, Day 2
Walking into the second day of BlogHer Food without being allowed access to the opening day was like coming into summer camp late, with new firm friendships already swirling in the air and new songs being sung, with all the lyrics unfamiliar to you. As much as we like meeting new people, we were actually drawn to the InterContinental Hotel for the promise of practical knowledge gained at the discussion panels. So while we didn't come away with new blogroll buddies, we did leave with some sharp insight from some clearly consummate experts.
BlogHer would have needed a third day in order to space out these panels so that they didn't run concurrently, but the schedule as it was required some tough choices and some furtive diving in and out of different rooms. We sat in on "Recipe Writing" with Elana Amsterdam, Jennie Perillo, and Gaby Dalkin, missing sessions on "Urban Farming" and "Food Styling" altogether, which was a shame because our backstairs container garden and our plating skills could both use some professional tips. But the ladies had good takeaway tips, including to never be afraid of making mistakes in the kitchen; it's where some of the best, most creative ideas can come out. Amsterdam also suggests a "Zen" approach to the craft of recipe writing and development: Eliminate having your mise en place before you start (practical cooks don't work this way), consider eliminating extraneous articles and verbs, and write so her 10-year-old son could remember the directions on his way to the refrigerator.
A two-hour afternoon excursion to the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market was a wonderful idea for both locals and visitors alike. We had fun putting ourselves in a tourist's shoes to try to experience what they'd feel seeing this temple to gastronomic consumption for the first time. But two hours on a Saturday in that madhouse of hungry humanity was merely a tease, and a lot of long lines. Surely some of the out-of-towners did the right thing and played hooky and lingered there for a while longer.

After lunch, there was a great panel of veteran and up-and-coming authorities assembled for "Do You Have a Cookbook in You?": Shauna James Ahern, Nancy Baggett, Dorie Greenspan, Susan Russo, and Justin Schwartz. It was clear that the era of cushy book contracts and even significant marketing help once you do get published is bygone, but there is still plenty of room in the publishing industry for those who are truly passionate about cooking. "The real work begins now," is the refrain Greenspan hears in her ears every time she releases a cookbook (she's currently on her 10th), for the writing is the easy part.
Sponsored By
We didn't want to miss "Food Photography: Think Outside the Plate," so we tiptoed out of the cookbook session and into a dark room, where Penny De Los Santos was showing stunning slides from her travels as a photographer for Saveur. Whatever your level of photographing experience or equipment, De Los Santos had solid advice for anyone using a lens. Light is key, about 50-100% of a great photo, she said; so is color, composition, energy, and connecting with your subject, even if it is a still life.
We then realized that De Los Santos was the truly personal smile that met us in the hallway about an hour earlier. We smiled back, connecting with a stranger, and later realized how key that warmth is in her photos. So we did learn a little something about connecting with people at BlogHer after all.

What i do like is the help page idea - just that there is a possibility to quickly show a keymap like written above by Klaus, next button press switch it off. Should be easy and works.

It's safe to say that most people want to be an educated person.
Last night I was asking myself these two questions:
Who is an educated person? What does someone have to know in order to be considered an educated person? Look at the following:
Do you need to have an advanced degree in order to be considered well-educated?
Does it mean being prepared to join the work force?
Are there certain books that you have to have read?
I did some research in order to be able to answer these questions. After reading several lists of the characteristics of an educated person—including Harvard and Princeton University's lists–I came up with the following list of the 50 characteristics of an educated person:
1. An educated person has the ability to think clearly and independently.
2. An educated person has good judgment.
3. An educated person knows how to learn.
4. An educated person knows how to acquire desired skills by identifying and utilizing available resources, deconstructing the process required for learning a particular skill, and experimenting with potential approaches.
5. An educated person has the ability to take initiative and work alone.
6. An educated person has the ability to communicate thoughts and ideas in writing, clearly and concisely.
7. An educated person has the ability to speak clearly.
8. An educated person has the ability to reason analytically and critically.
9. An educated person has the ability to think inductively and deductively.
10. An educated person questions assumptions.
11. An educated person doesn't blindly accept what they are told; they go see for themselves. They can discern truth from error, regardless of the source.
12. An educated person knows how to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information (between the important and the trivial).
13. An educated person knows how to make productive use of knowledge; they know where to get the knowledge that they need, and they have the ability to organize that knowledge into a plan of action that is directed to a definite end.
14. An educated person understands human nature and has the ability to establish, maintain, and improve lasting relationships.
15. An educated person knows how to establish rapport with others; they know how get others to trust and respect them.
16. An educated person knows how to cooperate and collaborate effectively with others.
17. An educated person knows how to resolve conflicts with others.
18. An educated person knows how to persuade others.
19. An educated person has the ability to conceptualize and solve problems.
20. An educated person knows how to make decisions.
21. An educated person has the ability to see connections among disciplines, ideas and cultures.
22. An educated person is able to cross disciplinary boundaries and explore problems and their solutions from multiple perspectives.
23. An educated person is someone who has been educated holistically: creatively, culturally, spiritually, morally, physically, technologically, and intellectually.
24. An educated person has a broad liberal-arts education. They have a good overview of the following subjects: the natural sciences; the social sciences; history; geography; literature; philosophy; and theology.
25. An educated person has depth of knowledge—that is, specialized knowledge–in a particular field.
26. An educated person has achieved victory over themselves; they know how to withstand discomfort in the short term in order to achieve important goals in the long term.

29. An educated person knows where and how to focus their attention.
30. An educated person has ethical values and has integrity.
31. An educated person has the ability and the discipline to do what is right.
32. An educated person is well-read and has cultural sophistication.
33. An educated person has equal esteem for everyone, without regard to gender, race, religion, country of origin, and so on.
34. An educated person understands their obligation to leave the world a little better than they found it.
35. An educated person is capable of doing new things; they have the ability to generate ideas and turn them into reality. An educated person is innovative.
36. An educated person is one whose natural curiosity has been awakened with the purpose of satisfying that curiosity.
37. An educated person has the ability to identify needed behaviors and traits and turn them into habits.
38. An educated person has the ability to identify harmful behaviors and traits—including thinking habits that are not serving them well—and the ability to modify them.
39. An educated person has the ability to keep their life in proper balance.
40. An educated person has the flexibility to admit when they're wrong.

As the thread suggests, I am holy raiding DS and having difficulties trying to manage mana while also trying to keep up my HPS compared to the druid and resto shaman in raid. We run a 10 man DS and Im the only priest in raid. We dont assign tank/raid heals, which may be part of the problem, because Im constantly questioning which Chakra to have up, along with spamming heals and renews on the tank/OT, while also trying to keep up the 8 other players in raid. My gear is a little low, but still running a 377 item level with 5305 intellect, and 2955 spirit. Link to armory is below. Could anyone help me out with what their spell rotation is, or what I should be using? Im currently just casting PoH, along with using PoM and CoH when theyre on cool down, along with the serenity on the ground whenever that CD is up (usually trying to cast on most densely popualted area of raid members). Spamming PoH is not even close to being mana efficient, so maybe theres a disconnect/lack of int/spirit, or its not the right thing to do. Again, any help would be great. Thanks!
Search Azö on WoW armories, cant link for some reason.

Benítez's concerns over Terry are compounded by David Luiz's questionable credentials as a defender. In a candid admission of the Brazilian's qualities, Benítez said yesterday that it was "safer" to play Luiz in midfield than at centre-half, where his errors can prove costly.
Terry has not played since hyper-extending his right knee against Liverpool on Nov 11, and despite early predictions of a return within three weeks, he continues to be troubled by swelling in the joint.
Benítez said the club captain's recuperation was a case of "one step forward, one step back", and while Terry took part in the warm-up at training yesterday, he is not yet kicking a ball, and Benítez would not predict when he would return to the team. He will certainly miss the visit of Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge tomorrow , the first of a seasonal run of four games in 11 days which Benítez could not guarantee will feature the captain: "You never know. That he is on the pitch is positive news. But we have to wait and see. He has an inflammation and the knee is so complicated.
"Today he was fine with the warm-up but the next day it can be a problem, it can be one step forward, one step back. I hope he will be available at Christmas but I can't guarantee anything. You can't predict when he will be available."
Terry's injury is another cloud over a difficult season which may end with doubts over his long-term future at the club. He has 18 months of his contract left, and with talks over an extension yet to begin, could end the season in the same position as Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard, with only a one-year extension on the table.
Chelsea have a policy of only offering single-year extensions to over-30s and Terry, 32, will want a swift resolution to his position in the summer.
Luiz has no such worries as he is one of the most engaging talents in the Chelsea side and a favourite of owner Roman Abramovich, but his cavalier approach, and habit of making costly errors, most recently in the 5-1 midweek win over Leeds, divides opinion about his best position.
Having had four weeks to assess his squad, Benítez is leaning towards the view that Luiz is a central midfielder of rare promise, rather than long-term centre-half. He was used in midfield in last week's Club World Cup semi-final against Monterrey, and Benítez says that, given his penchant for risk-taking, that is where his future lies.
"It's easier for him [in midfield]. At centre-back one mistake everyone sees. In midfield it's easier. He likes to play and enjoys keeping the ball, passing the ball and going forward. If he adjusts those things at centre-back he will be even better.
"He's a player who likes to play and wants to help and win. He likes to be seen to take a risk where it's necessary. I encourage him to try things. To do the easy things as well but are times he has to try things."
Terry's absence may restrict Luiz's chances in midfield over the Christmas period, where Lampard's return to fitness offers Benítez more options. Lampard seems increasingly likely to leave the club by the summer, but in a demonstration of his limited brief as interim coach, Benítez admitted he had no influence over his situation.
"We are not talking about this [his future]. I see a player training well and working hard. It would be better [for me] in other circumstances, and to be in another position where you can make decision. But I knew what was going on, so I have to concentrate on my position and do the best that I can."

The route of the East Dunbartonshire leg of the Queen's Baton Relay, which leads up to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, has been revealed.
It will visit the area on Saturday, July 19 and will pass through Bearsden, Milngavie, Bardowie, Torrance, Lennoxtown, Milton of Campsie, Twechar, Kirkintilloch, Lenzie and Bishopbriggs.
The baton is currently in the Caribbean as it tours 71 nations and territories of the Commonwealth set to be represented at the games.
It will arrive in Edinburgh on Saturday, June 14 and will visit all parts of Scotland over the following 40 days, arriving in Glasgow just before the games start on July 23.
Up to 4,000 batonbearers will take part in the Scottish relay, with an average of 100 people carrying the baton daily.
At the Opening Ceremony of Glasgow 2014 in Celtic Park, the Queen will read out the message she placed inside the baton before its marathon 190,000km trip around the world.
The baton is currently in St Lucia in the Caribbean. It will reach Canada by the end of April before heading to European destinations such as Cyprus and Malta and Gibraltar.
It will arrive in Scotland after spending a month travelling around the other nations and territories of the British Isles - Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, Wales and England.
David Grevemberg, chief executive of Glasgow 2014, said: "The Queen's Baton Relay is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people across Scotland to celebrate what's extraordinary and unique about their communities, and honour those locals who make a difference to others.
"The baton is visiting hundreds of villages, towns and cities, with thousands taking part in the relay, and many more attending the vast programme of sports and cultural events along the route.
"With less than three months to go until the baton comes home to Scotland, the momentum is building up for the biggest festival of sport and culture this nation has ever hosted."

How Much Money Can You Make After You Retire Before Your Benefits Are Reduced?
Financial and Retirement Planning Information -
for Beginners
When a person retires, we think of them as no longer working. In today's climate, however, many people continue to work, or return to work after they "retire". They may be doing the same thing they did before they retired, or they may be doing something entirely new.
So... if a person retired, why on earth would they go back or continue to work? There are many reasons, but the main ones are: lack of money and boredom.
Many people thought it would be so nice when they no longer had to work, but once that became a reality, they found it wasn't so nice after all. What can you do around the house for the 9 to 10 hours a day that you used to be gone? You can only nap so much. You can only visit your friends so often.
You can only go shopping so much. Well, you could do some of those projects that you said you would do "some day", but eventually you will run out of things to do. Now what? Go back to work! You can pick up some extra money and fill those long hours at the same time.
You can go back to your former line of work, or you can find something new to do. Maybe your job was welding, but you always liked working in the dirt. Maybe you could go to work as a gardener or a landscaper.
You might like to teach and could hold some classes in your former field. Who would know more about that job than you?
Too many people are forced to go back to work, whether they want to or not because of finances. Maybe you had all of your retirement funds tied up in the stock market. Perhaps you just didn't save enough and can't afford to live on social security alone. Maybe you have enough saved to live on, but you have a lot of outstanding debts that you have to spend your savings on, or you have a lot of unexpected medical bills, or your wife ran off with the guy next door and took all of your money with them.
Whatever the reason, you now find yourself in a position where you have to work. So how much are you allowed to make while drawing social security before you are penalized?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses the formulas below, depending on your age, to determine how much your benefit must be reduced:
If you are under: normal (or full --age 66 for people born in 1943 through 1954) retirement age (FRA) when you start getting your Social Security payments, $1 in benefits will be deducted for each $2 you earn above the annual limit. For 2012 that limit is $14,640. Remember, the earliest age that you can receive Social Security retirement benefits remains 62 even though the FRA is rising, but your benefits will be greatly reduced at ages 62 to FRA.
In the year you reach your FRA: $1 in benefits will be deducted for each $3 you earn above a different limit, but only counting earnings before the month you reach FRA. For 2012, this limit is $38,880.
Starting with the month you reach FRA:, you will get your benefits with NO limit on your earnings.
If a child or spouse on your record works while receiving benefits, the same earnings limits apply to him or her as apply to you. If your child or spouse is eligible for benefits this year and is also working, you can use our earnings test calculator to see how those earnings would affect the child's benefit payments. (Your child's or spouse's earnings affect only his or her own benefits. They do not affect your benefits or those of any other beneficiaries on your record.)
If you retire in the middle of a year:
When entitlement to benefits begins or ends during the year, many people work in months before or after entitlement. The SSA uses a monthly test to consider these earnings. The monthly earnings test provides that a person can receive full benefits for any month in which he or she does not earn wages over one-twelfth of the annual exempt amount and does not perform substantial services in self-employment.
The monthly amount for 2009 is $1,180. We pay benefits in these months regardless of the amount by which the person's earnings exceed the annual exempt amount. We use the monthly earnings test in the first year that a person does not work over the monthly limit in at least 1 month. We also use the monthly test for the year benefits end for children (including students) or parents who get benefits because they are caring for a young or disabled child.
Note: There are different rules for people receiving Social Security Disability:
The Social Security Administration has special rules called "work incentives" that help you keep your cash benefits and Medicare while you test your ability to work. For example, there is a trial work period during which you can receive full benefits regardless of how much you earn, as long as you report your work activity and continue to have a disabling impairment.
The trial work period continues until you accumulate nine months (not necessarily consecutive) in which you perform what the Social Security Administration calls "services" within a rolling 60-month period. They consider your work to be "services" if you earn more than $720 a month in 2011, or if you are self-employed, you earn more than $720 (after expenses) or work more than 80 hours in your own business.
After the trial work period ends, your benefits will stop for months your earnings are at a level the SSA considers "substantial," currently $1,000in 2011. Different amounts apply to people who are disabled because of blindness. The monthly substantial amount for statutorily blind individuals for 2011 is $1,640; for 2008 this amount was $1,570.
For an additional 36 months after completing the trial work period, the Social Security Administration can start your benefits again if your earnings fall below the "substantial" level and you continue to have a disabling impairment.

A Legislative Call to Action
Bipartisan Support Needed for Efficiency Retrofit Programs
Efficiency First urges all members to call or write to their Senators and Congressional Representatives in support of two critically important public policy initiatives that would create hundreds of thousands of new jobs in construction and related industries by stimulating demand for Home Performance retrofits.
- HOME STAR is a federal program under consideration by the White House that would create more than half a million new jobs over the next two years by offering consumers direct incentives for improving the energy efficiency of their homes. This plan would leverage a combination of public and private investment to enable a strong market for Home Performance retrofits and stimulate immediate nationwide job creation in construction and manufacturing – jobs that cannot be outsourced overseas.
- The Retrofit for Energy and Environmental Performance (REEP) program has been passed by the House of Representatives as part of the Waxman-Markey climate bill. Before the legislation can be sent to the White House for a Presidential signature, the Senate must pass its own version of the bill. Senators in particular need to get the message that REEP will reverse the employment crisis in construction and related industries while lowering energy costs for American consumers.
What you can do:
Use the links below to find contact information for Senators from your state and Representatives from your Congressional District. Then call and/or write to their offices urging them to support both programs.
- To find contact information for your Senators, go to www.senate.gov. Select your state from the "Find Your Senators" drop-down menu on the upper right corner of the page and click "Go."
- To find contact information for your Congressional Representative, go to www.house.gov. Enter your zip code in the "Find Your Representative" search form at the upper left corner of the page (it's OK to ignore the "+4" field) and click "Go."
Sample letter and background information:
Use these links to download a sample letter which you can modify and personalize in any way you choose, and some background information on the REEP legislation.

Re "Comic had ark of characters," Obituary, April 13
I first met Jonathan Winters in 1967 in Vietnam. Not many Hollywood people did USO visits to our remote location. We never hosted the Bob Hope-type entertainers.
Winters was brilliant. Before the "show," some of us engaged him in what we would call just a conversation. Everything that was said turned into a joke or something original and funny.
In some ways it was hard to determine just who Winters really was; the continuous on-stage personality or someone masquerading as a regular person.

Caseggiato I,I,2 - nrs. 100-102
The building Description and function This "building" is a large hall in the western part of the insula, to the south of two shops. The plan in SO I suggests that originally it was connected with the eastern shop. The back wall of the hall is made of large tufa blocks of the old Castrum wall. It was entered from the west, from Via dei Lari, through three entrances, the central one of which still has a shop threshold, at the south end set against a secondary masonry pier. Presumably the hall had a commercial function, such as a workshop. Date The hall was built during the reign of Hadrian (opus latericium).
Nr. 100 Description Nr. 100 is a cornerstone in the west facade, in the north jamb of the southernmost pier, a cornerpier. There is a more or less round hole with metal in the inside (north side) (diam. c. 0.05). The lower part of the metal is more or less round (diam. c. 0.03) and is most likely iron. The upper part seems to be a lead plug. The stone is reddish, as if it was once painted red. Possibly the function of the stone was thus cancelled. Date The plan in SO I, modern masonry and a joint in the lower part of the west side of the wall suggest that it is in an ancient extension of the pier. There is modern masonry around the stone and it is not enclosed by ancient masonry. It cannot be excluded that it was found on the ground and placed here by the excavators. Measurements Nr. 100 starts at a h. of 0.82. Meas. according to VdM: l. 0.27, w. 0.30, h. 0.16.
Nrs. 101-102 Description Nrs. 101 and 102 are cornerstones in the west facade, in the north and south jamb of the pier to the north of the pier with nr. 100. Only the lower part of this pier has been preserved, so it remains unknown whether there were stones higher up. There are no stones in the pier further to the north and in the northern cornerpier. The sides of these piers have been somewhat restored, but it seems that if stones were there, they should have been preserved. Date The two stones are in Hadrianic masonry. Measurements Nrs. 101 and 102 both start at a h. of 0.77. Meas. according to VdM: l. 0.59 and 0.59, w. 0.29 and 0.26, h. 0.14 and 0.15. The measurements falsely suggest that vertically there is overlap between 100, and 101-102. That is not the case however, nr. 100 is at a slightly greater height. The masonry above the stone in the southern jamb of the central pier is partly modern, but a counterpart of 100 on top of it should have been preserved it seems.
Remarks A rope was attached to nr. 100. The other stone to which the rope was attached was apparently at a higher level. It has not been preserved.
It may be noted that the pier with stones 101-102 is opposite the door with stones 103-104. So we have stones in the south-east and south-west corner of Piazza dei Lari.
Plan of the block. After SO I.

"So, it's now official... Yep, we've teamed up with our friends at Astralwerks! It's done, and this sh*t is happening! Big plans are in motion people. BIG," says deadmau5.
"We are thrilled to be working with deadmau5 both as an artist and as an A&R partner for his mau5trap label," adds Astralwerks General Manager Glenn Mendlinger.

The Obfuscated Football League wrapped up the 2010 season with a gala lunch held at CCJ's Steakhouse and the 2010 OFL awards were presented in a lavish ceremony. The voting was virtually unanimous in every category except Defensive Player of the Year, which was decided by a single vote!
Most Valuable Player — Paul McRae
"I can't believe I won again!" screamed the typically humble signal-caller, "Of course, I bring the balls, the cones, and the coin to flip — what could be more valuable?"
Offensive Player of the Year — Kirk Ireland
Ireland took home the award on the strength of his league-leading 14 touchdowns. "I'd like to point out that I beat Jin on a bunch of those", he quipped.
Defensive Player of the Year — James Muir
Narrowly edging out league interception leader Ireland, Muir won the award on the strength of not getting burned by Jin every game.
Rookie of the Year — Michael Liu
Michael was unable to be present to receive his award, but calamari was ordered in his honor.
Foreign Player of the Year — Jin Sun Kang
Ireland was particularly happy to find out that Kang could not attend, since he was afraid Jin might steal his lunch.

California could see blackouts
NEW YORK (Reuters) - If Californians do not conserve
considerably on Monday, rotating outages are possible with
demand forecast to reach record levels again due to the heat
wave, the California Independent System Operator (ISO) said in
a release.
So far Monday, the ISO told the owners of the state's
generating facilities and power lines to avoid maintenance
operations until 8 p.m. Pacific Time.
megawatts, up almost 8 percent over last year's record and
almost 2,500 MW over the current record of 46,561 MW set
earlier last week on July 18.
Meteorologists forecast the mercury on Monday would reach
84 degrees Fahrenheit in San Diego, 85 F in San Francisco, 86
in Los Angeles, 97 in San Jose, 107 in Fresno and 110 in
With the return of the workweek, business and commercial
buildings that have been closed through the weekend will open
again and consuming electricity to cool their buildings.
The ISO is expecting very high demand of 52,336 MW at
around 4 p.m. on Monday, which would break the current record
set on Friday by almost 7 percent. A megawatt in California can
usually power about 700 homes, but the number served per
megawatt drops during record usage.
Last week the ISO and the state's utilities were able to
serve the record demand, but with difficulty, the ISO said.
An estimated 800,000 homes and businesses were without
power at some point over the weekend, but all but about 80,000
had been restored by Sunday evening, according to the state's
large utilities.
The grid operator said a Stage 2 emergency was likely and a
Stage 3 emergency was possible.
In a Stage 2 emergency voluntary interruption of service to
select customers is possible to avoid more severe conditions.
In a Stage 3 emergency consumers are advised that
involuntary interruptions of service have begun and will
continue until the emergency has passed.
The ISO advises customers to set thermostats at 82 degrees
Fahrenheit or higher, cool with fans, draw the drapes, turn off
unnecessary lights and appliances and use big appliances in
early morning or late at night.
The California ISO operates the power grid in parts of
California for about 30 million people and administers the
state's wholesale power market with a generating capacity of
about 62,000 MW.


text: Hey. I am experiencing this weird problem. My friend sent me the IP to a really nice server. So I copy it, then head into game, add server, but nothing comes out. I open a text program, and anything that I can use text, and I hit ctrl+v and nothing happens. I can click my icons while holding control and they work. I can copy and paste text without going into Counter-Strike ant it works. But its like when I go into Counter-Strike and hit ctrl+v, its like it clears out my clipboard. Any ideas?

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Harry Potter.
For: CleverBast
Prompt/Pairing: Could you write me a HP/Naruto with a Kakashi/Iruka/Harry pairing? The prompt is "Capturing the dragon" and I don't mean Draco!
Warnings: Slash, threesome, toying, teasing, and Tsunade. Past Sasuke/Harry
How to Capture your ANBU Dragon
Kakashi sat in a small restaurant with his partner, Iruka, bored. They had been together for years, but now their relationship had mellowed. Sure, they still loved each other, but Kakashi was a more physical person than Iruka, and he was disappointed that their sex life had declined. It wasn't completely gone, but it was no longer as active as it used to be.
Kakashi missed that roaring temper and fierce spark that Iruka once had in the bedroom. The glances and touches that set Kakashi's blood and libido on fire were few and far between. Nowadays Iruka was much more interested in talking about his latest bunch of brats, and how Naruto was enjoying fatherhood. Kakashi still couldn't' get over the fact that Naruto had actually moved to Sand to marry Gaara's pupil Matsuri. And they reproduced to boot.
Kakashi was languidly watching the street, wondering if he should pass another genin team, when he saw just the thing to reignite the spark excitement he missed in the bedroom. Well it was more of a person than a thing.
An ANBU had just dropped into the street and helped a little girl that had broken her bracelet. He watched as the ANBU bent over and helped the little girl pick up the individual beads, and assist her as she rethreaded them. He thoroughly enjoyed the view, as the perk ass in front of him, would slowly sway back and forth as the obviously male ANBU continued to pick up the fallen beads.
Kakashi felt an incoming smack from Iruka, and grabbed his partners arm.
"You're not even listening to me!" Iruka berated him.
Kakashi turned to his partner and sent him an eye smile. "Love, how would you feel about inviting that wonderful boy to our bed?" Kakashi asked as he directed his partner's gaze towards the helpful ANBU.
Iruka took a moment to study the ANBU. They could only observe the boy's backside, but from what they could see, they enjoyed. The nice bottom the black ops pants covered, the slim hips, and the messy black hair that just begged to be played with. They weren't the only ones in the vicinity enjoying the sight.
"You want to invite an ANBU into our bed? Good luck." Iruka snorted once he was over his perusal.
"What? He wouldn't need to remove the mask, just the pants and put that pert little bottom in the air. That's hardly exposing his identity." Kakashi reasoned.
Iruka studied him for a moment before developing a sadistic smile. "Fine, but you need to convince him yourself."
Kakashi raised his one visible eyebrow, before smiling. "Then I get to ride first." The silver haired Jounin didn't wait for a response before setting off to capture the unsuspecting ANBU.
Kakashi watched carefully as the ANBU finished helping the little girl, and jumped to the rooftops. He casually followed, and kept the ANBU in sight as he trekked across the village. After ten minutes, the ANBU suddenly dropped down into an alley, fearing something may be wrong, Kakashi quickly followed, only to be pinned to a building wall.
"Why are you following me?" A voice growled into his ear.
Kakashi smirked, and swiftly reversed their positions. The only difference was that Kakashi had the ANBU face him.
Kakashi took great satisfaction in using one hand to pin the ANBU's hands above his head, and using the other to run over the fit torso. He felt the slight tensing muscles, and traced over the slight dip when his fingers reached the ANBU's waist.
"Well well, who would have thought that I would catch a dragon on my adventure?" Kakashi responded after registering the dragon mask.
"Release me." The Dragon demanded.
"Now now, I went and caught you far and square, it wouldn't be proper to push me away." Kakashi drawled as he pushed his pelvis towards the ANBU.
"Hatake-san, this is highly inappropriate. I will file a complaint with the Hokage for sexual harassment and obstructing an ANBU's work." The ANBU calmly replied.
"Did you know there's a hunters code? Once a hunter catches its prey, than they can do whatever they like to it." Kakashi reached his free hand around and cupped the bottom he had been admiring earlier. He gave it a squeeze and then pulled the ANBU into him. Kakashi enjoyed the sensation of the connecting groins and gave a low moan.
"I think I want you naked, begging, and on all fours in my bed. I know Iruka would enjoy the sight as well." He whispered with a husky tone, into the ANBU's ear.
"Well then I guess you have to catch me." Kakashi only had a moment to register the words before his world exploded in pain and stars. The feisty little dragon had kneed him in the balls before fleeing.
Oh, the chase was on.
Tsunade sat behind her desk laughing. Harry had entered her office and told her in a detail about the perverted Jounin who accosted him on duty. When he said Hatake, she had doubled over. The kid arrived months ago and gave her great entertainment. Today was no different.
"Well you do know you are technically of age here. If you wanted to indulge in a little pleasure with that perverted man, I won't tell on you to your Headmaster." Tsunade teased. She enjoyed watching his face flush in embarrassment.
"He's old enough to be my father!" Harry argued. He looked away, trying to hide his red cheeks.
"Small detail. With all his extensive reading, I'm sure he will have quite a few tricks to teach you. Plus, if Iruka joins in I bet you will have no problem going back to England as a nice experienced and well taught individual." Tsunade snickered at the look of disbelief on the young man's face.
"You're just as perverted as that man." Harry pointed out with an annoyed huff.
"Well you know what they say 'One should always leave with a bang.'" Tsunade continued, ignoring the perverted comment.
"In shinobi terms that means blowing the place sky-high, and laughing as you walk away." He deadpanned.
Tsunade grinned. When harry arrived he had been horrified at the insinuation of killing, but now he was properly desensitized. "I promised the old goat that I would make sure you were well educated."
"Yeah in fighting, not bedroom ... stuff."
"Small details. I also promised myself months ago that I would corrupt the small 16 year-old in front of me. You don't want to let me down do you?" Tsunade stated in a sad tone, watching as the guilt trip took effect.
"I thought that one time with Sasuke would satisfy that ridiculous statement." Harry mumbled, his blush crawling down his neck and staining his ears.
"One night with that uptight broody clan heir hardly counts. I bet he bragged about his own prowess half the time, and then got off, leaving you cold and frustrated." At Harry's blank face, Tsunade knew she was right.
"Fine." Harry said with an explosive sigh. "I might MIGHT sleep with him, but he has to catch me first. Then I can leave Konoha with a bang." Harry swiftly replaced his dragon mask and left the office with a stiff back and heavy feet.
Tsunade smiled to herself and went back to work. Harry would cave in the end, he always did. After all, that's how he ended up in Sasuke's bed before. Tsunade quickly made a note to send Sasuke on a very dangerous mission with a high death rate. She still didn't like the bastard.
Harry didn't know how Hatake was doing it, but he always managed to find him. Harry would be patrolling the wall, and Hatake would pop up and molest him. Harry would be tracking a suspicious individual and Hatake would stop by and cop a feel. It was highly annoying. His only consolation was that Hatake never caught him without his mask - mainly because Harry never removed the mask outside of the Hokage's office. He didn't have an apartment, only a small room in the ANBU headquarters, and that was small haven to him nowadays.
Harry sighed as he sank into the hot spring and felt his muscles relax. After being chased by Hatake for a week he needed the nice hot water to soothe his tense body. Harry had a few minutes to himself before he was interrupted. The sound of people in the change room made him groan in frustration.
"Kakashi get your hands off my towel." A stern voice commanded.
Harry opened one eye and blanched. Hatake and his partner were entering the hot spring, both too distracted to notice him. Harry acted quickly and hid behind a decorative rock. Hoping for a chance to escape sometime soon.
"Oh my sweet little dolphin, don't act like you don't enjoy it." Hatake fired back. Harry listened as they entered the water, and then a small fight ensued. There was lots of splashing water before Iruka cursed and Hatake chuckled. "Ah, that's always a nice view." Hatake purred.
Harry shuddered and sank further into the hot water, hoping he wasn't going to get a cold.
"Someone could see!" Iruka hissed.
"And they'll be envious they're not in my position." Hatake countered.
There had to be a way he could safely flee and avoid that grabby Cyclops and his partner. Of course, he could always just calmly walk out and act like he didn't know them, and was just a regular civilian completely disturbed by their actions. It was a plan.
Harry winced when he heard moans coming from the other side of the rock. A loud sucking noise started up, and he could hear Iruka groaning, and issuing small protests. He needed out now.
He safely made his way to the edge of the water, and was pulling himself out when his hand slipped, and hit the water, making a loud splashing sound. He froze and mentally cursed his luck.
"Shit!" Harry heard Iruka swear. A loud splash sounded, and Harry looked back to see Iruka fully alert and staring at him. Kakashi was spluttering as he emerged from the water, clearly having been pushed over by a startled Iruka.
"Kakashi, you probably just scarred the kid with your actions." Iruka quickly scolded, as soon as he registered Harry's terrified expression.
Hatake didn't seem to be listening as he was gazing at Harry with a contemplative look. Harry knew it was time to leave and swiftly jumped out of the water and into the dressing room. Throwing a squeaky 'I'm Sorry' over his shoulder, Harry refused to look back.
Once dressed, Harry fled. Back to the ANBU headquarters and his room where no perverted men stalked him.
Harry sighed as he ducked into another ANBU secret passageway. Hatake was still hot in his trail two weeks after the hot spring debacle, and Harry was getting tired of constantly hiding from the man. Today was his last day in Konoha and he was so ready to just go back to England and the war. Tomorrow morning he had a port-key ready for him, and there was no way Harry was going to miss it. He just needed to last the rest of the night.
Harry changed out of his ANBU gear, and glanced at the summons from Tsunade. The old hag had promised him a big and wonderful going away present. He just wanted to spend a quiet night relaxing in peace, an event that was rare since he came to the shinobi village. But it seemed Tsunade had other plans, and Harry was hard-pressed to refuse her. The woman had taught him how to fight and defend himself, and given him the chance to really grow up. He owed it to her.
He sighed before heading out, after all what was the worst that would happen.
Harry walked into that Hokage's office and stopped suddenly because of a net that fell on him. He glared at the grinning pair standing before him, his eyes promising pain later. He couldn't believe Tsunade would do this to him! Iruka hadn't wasted a second and quickly wrapped him up, using ropes to make sure he couldn't access and weapons to free himself.
"I hate you both." Harry stated.
"Kakashi has his way of catching a dragon, and I have mine. I think hunter prey rules still apply." Iruka smugly pointed out, as he lifted and tossed Harry over his shoulder.
"I can't believe you helped him." Harry glared accusingly at Tsunade. "I won't forgive you for this."
"Out with a bang." Tsunade grinned. She was entirely too smug with herself. Harry vowed to sneak into her Sake stash and tamper with it. See how the woman liked that.
Harry mumbled darkly under his breath as he glared with everything he had. Retribution would be had when this was all over with.
Tsunade sat outside a window with a perfect view of the activities happening inside. Part of the deal to help Iruka capture the ANBU operative Dragon, was that she was allowed to watch. The deal had been tempting, after all she had hoped to see Harry and Sasuke together, but that bastard clan heir had thwarted her. Then Iruka had thrown in a couple jugs of Sake, and Kakashi's special edition 'Icha Icha Paradise' that Jiraiya had only had five copies made, and she was sold.
She had a comfortable chair, Sake, and a nice big bucket of popcorn. She was well prepared to reap her reward for helping the chuunin.
Kakashi walked into the room and was utterly stunned at the sight of a tied up Harry, naked and posed perfectly for entry. Tsunade laughed at his expression, happy to see that some people could surprise the lazy jounin. He had grumpy lately due to his failure to catch the dragon.
The flying clothes and following moans and groans, gave her a feeling of a job well done. But the entire event had another purpose in her mind. Harry would surely be too sore and tired tomorrow to take that port-key and thus it wouldn't be her fault that he had to wait another six or so months before he could return. And since he was already stranded here, then it wouldn't be that big of a problem for him to continue his responsibilities as an ANBU…
Kakashi and Iruka may have caught the dragon, but Tsunade had captured Harry and ensured that she kept one of her best ANBU. Fuck the wizarding world, she was greedy.
The first from the Newton Prize Corner.
