First, can we take a moment to acknowledge today? No, I don't mean April Fool's. I mean that today will forever be known as the day with the most attractive Spoiler Room photo ever. Hope you're not a vegetarian, because that's a lot of beef, that photo.
Okay, that's out of the way.
Now, the scoop! I know it's April 1, but I assure you there are no jokes here. I take scoop seriously, and when you read today's column, you'll see why! Also, let's take a moment to welcome Mandi Bierly, who makes her Spoiler Room debut with some delicious Vampire Diaries info!
As always, I invite your feedback/questions/musings. Send them all to firstname.lastname@example.com or touch base with me on Twitter @EWSandraG.
The end of Smallville is inevitable, but I know that doesn't make it any easier to cope with. But hopefully this scoop from executive producer Brian Peterson will. And because every bit of information is crucial at this point, I say we do this transcript style. And before you ask, yes, this is just a piece. There's much more where this came from. So. Much. More. But I just couldn't let you go hungry.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First, and very importantly, how much of a role will Michael Rosenbaum play in the finale?
BRIAN PETERSON: What I can say is, everybody that is in the finale plays a supporting role in Clark [Tom Welling] getting toward his ultimate moment. And Michael is no different from the other characters in that, and he's very important. But it's about Clark.
What can you say about the next few episodes?
First of all, every one of the last five episodes kind of has its own place. We very purposefully planned. The first one back, "Kent," it's kind of a thriller that is really heartwarming. And then we have "Booster" that is this really fun, glossy superhero that's come to town and thrown a wrench in Clark's plans. After that, we have a really cool, kind of Clark all-over quest. And then we come to "Prophecy," which pushes us off in a really big, emotional way with a surprise and a twist toward the finale. The characters have a big, emotional journey going into the finale, but [those episodes also explain] a little bit of the mythology thread we've woven through the season. It really revs that up. So we get to see our big baddie coming as we go toward the finale.
Is there anything more you can tell us about "Booster," which Tom Welling is directing?
It's really fun because while we introduce Booster and Jaime as Blue Beetle, both those stories dovetail really nicely with Clark at the cross-section of those stories. It's a great episode because it's not only fun, but it also tells a really good, deep story about heroism. And then it's really fun because right after that, we go into Justin Hartley's directorial debut. And so we have Tom and Justin back-to-back directing. They're two really different episodes, but both wildly cool.
"Dominion" is going to bring back Zod, right?
That's the return of Zod…. The way we bring back Zod is, I think, really fun, and it's fun to see Oliver interacting with Zod. But the way we leave it, hopefully fans will really enjoy the way we leave Zod and will recognize the final image of him very clearly.
Next Friday, return to ITV for more Smallville!
Scooped on request from Greg.
By now you've seen the previews for episode 9 of Justified, and I promise you, it's as great as it looks. As I teased on Tuesday, the debacle over the mountain makes some major progress, and Raylan has a game-changing encounter with the Bennett clan. Executive producer Graham Yost even stopped by EW HQ earlier this week to talk about the huge episode. (We'll be sharing our convo with him very soon.) But he also spilled about episode 10, which, as it turns out, has some major moments of its own — specifically for Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) and Winona (Natalie Zea). "There's a big thing that happens in 10 where we take the relationship to another level," he teased.
In the episode, Raylan struggles to cope with disappointing his father figure Art, who previously caught them putting the bag of money Winona swiped back in the evidence room. But while the situation proves to be "very, very tough" on Raylan, his reflection on the event leads to a milestone confession. "He comes to realize [something] in 10. He says to her, 'I didn't do that thing with the money and get you out of that jam because I'm a criminal like my dad. I did it because I love you.'" [Pause for audience gasp.]
I won't reveal her reaction here, but Yost does say the interaction "takes us through the rest of that episode and sets us on a course for them that has its own twists and turns."
Scooped on request from: Karen, Kristie, Mona, Jennifer, Erin, Ellyn, Meaghan, Anne, L. Rosen, Amelia, Catherine, Katherine, and Susola
Those of us counting the days until the next new episode of Vampire Diaries are rejoicing now that we're finally down to single digits. We know that in the April 7 episode, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) works with Bonnie (Katerina Graham) and Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) to try to find the site of the old witch massacre, and that on April 14, he and Alaric (Matt Davis) chaperone the high school's "1960s Decade Dance" because they fear the big bad Klaus (Joseph Morgan) will make his grand entrance. (Check out our exclusive photos from the dance, at least one of which will have the fangirls sighing.)
But looking farther ahead, executive producer Julie Plec says we'll get to see Elena's and Stefan's reactions to Damon's decision to use mind compulsion on local TV news reporter Andie Star (Dawn Olivieri) to make her his substitute girlfriend/blood donor. "We won't hit that for a few more episodes, but there will be that moment when Damon's desire to distract himself from his feelings for Elena blow up in his face, and the allure of Andie starts to leave a bit of a sour taste," Plec says. (Before that happens, will we at least get to see Damon take another bath? "Damn, I don't know. I might have to go back and do a rewrite," Plec laughs. "I feel like every time we're like, 'Well, we could set this scene in the bathtub… Oh, wait that won't work.'")
The tension between the Salvatore Brothers will also continue to rise, Plec says, as they find themselves on opposite ends of a debate about the best methods to protect Elena. "I am fully a Team Salvatore shipper. I want the brothers to be brothers, and to love each other, and to be good to each other always, but that's part of the journey of the show," Plec says. "When you've got two guys who have feelings for the same girl, that's not gonna be easy. And it starts to become particularly complicated as we get to the end of the season." – Mandi Bierly
Any Jax & Tara scoop on what is in store for them for season 4 of Sons of Anarchy? — @BikerandDoctor via Twitter
I caught up with the one man who can answer this, Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter, at FX's annual Upfront presentation/bowling party at Lucky Strike in New York and got some valuable intel. "She's been alone, and [the beginning of the season is] really about both of them figuring out what's going to happen and making a decision about what's going to happen. I think it'll be about how one foot out the door, one foot in, doesn't work anymore," he teased. "I think this season, a lot of that fluctuation will come to a head and a decision will have to be made."
Will we be able see any of the 14 months missed between Sons of Anarchy season breaks? — @twocurlygirlz via Twitter
I kind of like this Kurt-Sutter-does-the work-thing. Let's do it again: "We won't do flashbacks, but you'll learn through story and you'll see visually. I think a lot of it will be filled in throughout the season."
This "secret" of Thirteen's on House, why she went to prison. Yes, I need more details on that…stat! — Margo
No amount of doctor puns will get me to divulge the secret, but I can tell you that she isn't crying over just anything in that preview you've seen. The secret/reason is incredibly heartbreaking. And Olivia Wilde says once it's out there, we can expect to see it bring Thirteen and House closer than ever (…but not romantically). "She really does appreciate his acceptance of her, and sometimes, I think that she feels he's the only person in the world who understands her. Certainly after this episode," she says.
What does House say to Thirteen to make her tell the secret? Is it Cuddy related…? — Jordan
Yup. "It's shocking to her because of the vulnerability that he expresses along with it," Wilde says. "He's been perfectly happy in the past to drop bombs about himself that he doesn't seem to be very emotionally affected by, but it's the fact that he seems thrown off his comfort base a bit. He's reaching out to her and showing her his rawness."
So, Sandra, that Grey's Anatomy musical episode was, um, interesting. Let's focus on the good, though: I'm really liking Teddy and Henry. Word on Grey's latest couple? — Sue
You're not the only fan of the pair. Kevin McKidd [Owen] says the dynamic and unique situation between Teddy and her oft-ailing husband is second only to his character's relationship with Cristina. "I think it's interesting that Teddy is playing it all like a business transaction," he says. "But as we all know there is no such thing as free lunches. I'm interested to see where that dynamic heads." But before anything more happens, McKidd says the audience can expect Owen to weigh in on his friend's romance after " sort of dropping the ball on that one." "He hasn't been as attentive to his friend as you'd think. So I think, yeah, we'll hear him pitch in soon."
I have a Fringe question that's been bothering me for quite a bit. Will we ever find out why Olivia and Peter don't remember meeting each other? — Gloria
Not this season, says executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman. And possibly not ever. Pinker says, "I think that one of the things that we have been keeping in mind, and the viewer should keep in mind: both Joel and I — and I'm sure you're the same way — had really close friends when we were 8 that we can hardly picture in our mind right now. And this was just a chance meeting. Olivia [also] didn't remember meeting Walter, who played a much more significant role in her life. She didn't remember meeting him throughout the first whole season until she was reminded." Adds Wyman, "There's also something to be said that when traumatic experiences, you know, you could bury that stuff. So you bury some of the good stuff along with the bad stuff because some of those good things are triggers for the bad things."
What's interesting, says Pinkner, is that earlier in the series, neither fans nor the creative team really noticed that even after years as Walter's test subject, Olivia should have remembered Walter. "And yet, because the Peter and Oliva moment was so romantic and so full of hope, you remember, "Oh, why doesn't she remember that one?" Which says something lovely about us all as people; we want to remember the good things and leave the bad things." Yeah. These guys seriously speak this deep on the phone. I died of heartbreak multiple times. Sigh. Thank God this show was renewed.
What's the update on Shirley's baby drama on Community? Who's her babydaddy!? — Lorena
I'll let you find out on your own (lest I be murdered for ruining the answer!) I think you'll find out soon enough…
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia! The return seems so far away…. Scoop to make me feel better? — Kimberly
I know the returns seems eons away, but from what I'm hearing, it will be more than worth the wait. At FX's Upfronts, I cornered Glenn Howerton (Dennis) in between his bowling duties, and he told me that they're currently working on an episode that is the "classic sitcom high school reunion episode." "As of now, it's going to be a two-part episode," he said. "But I can't tell you what happens." Don't worry, Glenn. You've told me all I need to know. I'm there!
Blue Bloods! I know you love NKOTBSB. So show Donnie Wahlberg's show some love! — Jean
Well, I don't have anything in the way of Danny Regan scoop, but things are certainly going to heat up for his little bro Jaime in an upcoming episode when he's put on personal security duty for an attractive, well-to-do woman who has an eye for young, attractive officers of the law.
LOOOOVED your chat with Thomas Gibson. Any more Hotch dish? — Lee
How about some Hotch scoop…for season 7! Well, if there is a season 7 (please, please, please, please, please, and duh). Thomas Gibson hopes the audience gets a chance to see the deeper effects of this season's uber-impactful storylines (like the "death" of his colleague Emily Prentiss). "I think he's had his share of challenges and tragedy and it would be nice to see him [cope]. I think he's going through the process of dealing with some of that, and I don't know if we've seen that happen," he tells me. "We've never really seen him deal with what's happened in his life in the past couple years. I think exploring that would be interesting and I think we may end up seeing some of that." But how does Gibson envision a derailed Hotch? "There are so many ways for that to manifest itself. He doesn't, I think, have a whole lot of indulgence of his own for any of the weight that he carries. To a certain extent, that's one of his flaws. He would rather ignore it, and of course, you can't ignore it forever."
I miss Raising Hope!! Help a loyal reader get through the dry spell? — Ciara
In the first episode back, airing April 19 (mark it on your calendar), Jimmy and Sabrina travel to Wyatt's college because Sabrina suspects he's cheating. But before they can infiltrate the world of college frat parties, they must dress the part — as pimps and hos!
So glad I don't have to release the hogs of war on FX's a**!! RT @EWSandraG: 'Justified,' 'Archer' renewed at FX — @Heather719 via Twitter
This isn't a question. I just thought this was one of the best Tweets I've ever received. Bravo.
Emily Deschanel is pregnant! Does this mean…what I think it means? — Rebecca
Honestly, it can go either way at this point. I'm hearing buzz that the news — while joyous — definitely poses a challenge to production next season. Time will tell. Then I'll tell you.
Being Human is coming to a close. What can you tease about the finale? — Kristine
I'll definitely have more for you next Tuesday from my chat with Sam Witwer, but I can tell you that the final two episodes are filled with backstory galore! In the penultimate episode, we meet the woman behind Sam's "Celine" tattoo via flashback to the 1970s (and as you might guess, her connection with Sam is as heartbreaking as it is important), and in the finale, we learn an key piece of Josh and Aidan's past.
Some Private Practice scoop please! — Terry
Charlotte is going to find herself in the midst of a difficult case after a young woman is raped but doesn't want a rape kit. Sound familiar? Ugh. Awful!
White Collar. Go! — Amber
Peter. Neal. Speed dating. Yes, as good as it sounds. Scenes are hilarious and involve accents. Insert whine about it not being summer yet.

FESPA China Brand Reinforces FESPA Presence as Number of Chinese Printers at Euro Event DoublesWednesday, July 16, 2014 Press release from the issuing company Chinese attendance highlights importance and growth of digital wide format printing in China This year's FESPA Digital 2014 in Munich, Germany, attracted over 100 Chinese printers, double the number that attended FESPA Digital 2011 in Hamburg. The increased attendance from China suggests that the direct presence of FESPA in China since 2013 is driving interest in FESPA among leading Chinese specialist printers. Nigel Steffens, FESPA Board Advisor, comments: "The rise in the number of Chinese printers since 2011 (Hamburg) demonstrates the demand among leading printers in China for expert insights into developments in digital technology. The fact that so many senior decision makers from China will travel to Europe for our Digital event speaks volumes for the interest in digital printing in China and in meeting major international suppliers. "Attending the European Digital event also provides printers with the opportunity to meet with leading industry players, as well as to attend educational seminars and demonstrations where they can hear first-hand from global experts about the latest applications and technology." In recent years FESPA has expanded its event portfolio by introducing regional events in Mexico, Brazil, Turkey, Africa and China. The growth of the FESPA brand in these new territories has attracted new 'fans' who subsequently make the trip to exhibitions outside of their home country. Similarly to the Chinese printers who travelled the 4,536 miles from China to Munich, visitor numbers from locations of other regional FESPA shows, for example Turkey, also grew noticeably. This year's FESPA China 2014, taking place from 19-21 November 2014, has moved to Guangzhou, consistent with the pattern of the previous CSGIA event. The inaugural FESPA China 2013 drew a significant visitor audience from Eastern China, especially from Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Guangdong. With the move to Guangzhou, China's largest Southern city, FESPA China 2014 expects a larger number of visitors from the region. Nigel concludes: "When FESPA joined forces with CSGIA to deliver FESPA China, our objectives were to make the exhibitor base more internationally diverse and to bring more digital technology to the show. Judging by the interest in Munich, the strategy seems to be right for the market now. We're looking forward to engaging with new and existing visitors at FESPA China."

As the global psychiatric community enters a new era of transformation, this book explores lessons learned from previous efforts with the goal of "getting it right" this time. In response to the common refrain that we know about and 'do' recovery already, the authors set the recovery movement within the conceptual framework of major thinkers and achievers in the history of psychiatry, such as Philippe Pinel, Dorothea Dix, Adolf Meyer, Harry Stack Sullivan, and Franco Basaglia.
The book reaches beyond the usual boundaries of psychiatry to incorporate lessons from related fields, such as psychology, sociology, social welfare, philosophy, political economic theory, and civil rights. From Jane Addams and the Settlement House movement to Martin Luther King, Jr., and Gilles Deleuze, this book identifies the less well-known and less visible dimensions of the recovery concept and movement that underlie concrete clinical practice.
In addition, the authors highlight the limitations of previous efforts to reform and transform mental health practice, such as the de-institutionalization movement begun in the 1950s, in the hope that the field will not have to repeat these same mistakes. Their thoughtful analysis and valuable advice will benefit people in recovery, their loved ones, the practitioners who serve them, and society at large.
Foreword by Fred Frese, Founder of the Community and State Hospital Section of the American Psychological Association and past president of the National Mental Health Consumers' Association
"This well-written, interesting volume should serve to provide significant edification and enlightenment to anyone desirous of a better grounding in how we have arrived at these relatively halcyon days of transforming our approach to persons with serious mental illness from one focusing primarily on care to one where the primary goal is that of recovery" (see Excerpt above for full Foreword).

I'm a professional woman in the arts. As a responsible, creative and hardworking individual, I apply these qualities to my personal life, health and relationships. Spontaneity requires creativity, and I appreciate new experiences and getting to know the unique differences between myself and my partner. I respect those that are responsible and mentally and physically healthy. So I appreciate a man who takes care of himself, and VALUES his home and property but also relationships (family/friends). I take pride in my cultural background and enjoy learning about others. Even though, I'm a tomboy at heart who enjoys watching the Indy 500, football, soccer, etc. and coordinated enough to play just about any sport, I love to dress up. I feel pleasure in being outside but I also relish in a lovely dinner, movie or playful games inside. I'm a great listener and compassionate I take special care of those I come to respect. I work hard in making things work when I feel they are important. I'm looking for a man who treats people with respect, and is well mannered and mature. Someone who is honest, trusting and knows how to communicate is really important to me. I would like to find someone who is understanding, loving and supportive with a good sense of humor. I want a man who can teach me new things, and inspire and motivate me.

Devotees fast on this day and worship Lord Krishna and Radha. Offer crown, flower garland, clothes and toran at Radhakrishna temple. Then decorate the Radhakrishna idol with flowers, incense sticks and perfume.
Then build a mandap with five colours and then make a kamalyantra in the shape of 16 dal inside the mandap. Keep an idol of Radhakrishna in the middle of the kamalyantra. Offer prayers and sweets.
Perform jagaran at night.
It is believed that fasting on Radhashtami appeases Goddess Lakshmi. Fasting on this day brings prosperity and wealth home.

We started having problems with this refrigerator a couple months after we purchased it new, and repairmen have been out to our home three times in the first seven months we've owned it to make repairs, such as replacing the power control board (computer) because the actual temperatures were way off from the settings; completely replacing the ice maker; adjusting a fan that was not installed correctly (which caused the fridge to buzz loudly for extended periods of time); and adjusting a wire that was out of place.

By Looey
from Lee's Summit, MO
We had a same size GE refrigerator previous to buying this one. It lasted 26 years and probably could've been repaired but we decided to buy a new one. The lighting inside is brighter than the old refrigerator that makes it easy to find things. The ice cubes are smaller but the ice maker has been able to keep up even though we make a pitcher of ice tea that requires a lot of ice every couple of days. We like the temperature gauges and the warning sound if a door is left open. Overall we've been very happy so far. If it lasts like our old GE we will be ecstatic.

The next Cuban superstar is on his way to Major League Baseball.
According to Baseball America's Ben Badler, Yasmani Tomas, a power-hitting outfielder who is held in high regard by baseball scouts and executives, has defected with the intentions of pursuing a contract with a major league team.
Let the bidding begin! Well, not quite yet. There's still a long road ahead for Tomas to end up in MLB, but the huge first step is complete. Here's more from Badler on that process that awaits.
Tomas will still have to obtain residency in another country, get an unblocking license from the United States Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and be declared a free agent by Major League Baseball to be eligible to enter into an agreement with a club. The timetable for jumping through those hurdles varies, though it seems unlikely Tomas would sign before the end of the season and it might take him until 2015 to ultimately sign.
Tomas, 23, has proven to be a capable center fielder in Cuba, but it's Badler's belief that at 6-foot-1, 230-pounds, he'll be better suited for a corner outfield position in the majors. But that's really just a minor detail compared to what big league teams will really look for from the right-handed swinging slugger, and that's his power and production at the plate.
Tomas hit .275 for Industriales in Havana last season with 10 home runs and 59 RBIs in 90 regular season and seven playoff games. Not dominant numbers across the board, but his raw power is undeniable and what appeals most to scouts. According to Badler, Tomas' raw power rates at 70 on the 20-80 scouting scale, and given his age there's obviously a lot of room for that to increase.
It's an investment several teams will be willing to make, and given the success of recent high-profile defectors like Yoenis Cespesdes, Yasiel Puig and Jose Abreu, Tomas stands a good chance to land a hefty contract.
Abreu set the standard over the offseason when he signed a six-year, $68 million deal with the Chicago White Sox. Puig received $42 million over seven years from the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Cespedes signed for four years at $36 million with the Oakland A's. All look like relative bargains at this point, which could put Tomas in good negotiating position.
Also working in his favor, according to Badler:
Tomas has played five seasons in Serie Nacional, so he will be exempt from the international bonus pools, even when the new rules kick in on July 2 that require five seasons instead of three for pool exemption. Tomas was arguably one of the top 10 or so players left in Cuba in terms of major league potential, and one of the top half dozen players who meet MLB's 23-and-5 rules, the sweet spot for a signing unencumbered by the pools.
It all adds up to potential big win financially for Tomas. It will be interesting to see which teams step forward and what he ultimately commands on the open market. But it will be more interesting to see if he can establish himself in that top tier. The physical tools are there, but will he handle the transition and adjustments as well as his counterparts, as well as the pressure to follow in their footsteps?
Time will tell, and that time looks like it will be 2015.

Showbiz Sandbox 8: Everybody's A Critic On The Internet
June 15, 2009
This week "The Hangover" hung around, and "The Taking of Pelham 123" opened at lower numbers than expected. Was the film miscast?
James Cameron proves he's King of the World, or at least of the digital age, by pushing game publisher Ubisoft to create the videogame industry's first stereoscopic title. What does this mean for future relationships between films and videogames? In other film news, "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle signed a three year deal with Fox Searchlight; the quasi-classic "Conan The Barbarian" will be remade; and rumors abound that the director of the summer action film "G.I. Joe" was fired. Plus, DVD fans may have to wait a little longer until movies they didn't bother seeing in the theaters are available for viewing on the couch.
Despite repeated warnings, chaos still ensued when the switch to digital TV finally happened in the United States. And though there were obvious clues about his sexual orientation, "American Idol" runner up Adam Lambert finally came out to Rolling Stone magazine. Plus, the debate rages on: Can Jay Leno survive at 10pm? Advertisers sure aren't happy about his new time slot.
And finally: How important are film critics anyway? Just ask the new online movie review aggregator Movie Review Intelligence.

Thom Hartmann, of course, appears on Truthout at least five days a week, and is also seen regularly in videos of his television program, "The Big Picture," on BuzzFlash at Truthout.
He talked with Truthout about his latest book The Crash of 2016, a discussion that included Hartmann's wide-ranging counterpoints to a corporate media of conventional wisdom, including the notion that many US CEOs are sociopaths.
The following is an excerpt from that extended interview:
MARK KARLIN: You use the term economic royalists often in the book to define the oligarchy in the US. How would you define the term?
THOM HARTMANN: The economic royalists are the people who have enough wealth and income that they have the ability to influence public policy in a very significant and meaningful way. The way that I use to define those people in the book is the multimillionaire and billionaire classes who are using their wealth to advance their own interests politically, but sometimes just as an economic weapon to suck up money from the rest of the population.
KARLIN: You have a section about FDR attacking the economic royalists and said that he declared at the 1936 Democratic convention that he welcomed their hate. He was born of the wealthiest class in America, but became an advocate of the working person. Why was he perceived as such a golden age of defiance against the robber barons?
HARTMANN: Because of the damage that the economic royalists had done. He had a populace that was in pain when he was elected in 1932. He had a Congress in which both houses were Democratic.
FDR was a rich kid who grew up to become the Democratic governor of New York. When he first ran for president, he ran on a platform of very modest, incremental change amidst the Depression. But the times, in many ways, made the man. Sure, you have to have the potential in an individual such as FDR in the first place.
If the crash had happened two years earlier in the Bush administration, Obama would have the mandate [wind at this back] that FDR had, but it didn't happen that way.
KARLIN: Of course you cover in The Crash of 2016 the infamous Powell Memo. Why is the Powell Memo so significant in America's turn to the right and especially in political catering to the corporatists?
HARTMANN: Lewis Powell was an attorney who at the time of the LBJ administration was practicing in Virginia and represented large corporations and wealthy individuals. When he wrote the memo in 1971, the conservatives were in an existential crisis.
There was a book written in the '50s that basically asserted that democracy couldn't be trusted to the middle class or to those who were not wealthy, that this would lead to chaos. Social change would happen so rapidly that it would not be good for the nation or especially those who financially steered the economy.
So by 1970, you had great social ferment: against the war, feminism (including the emergence of the pill), civil rights, marijuana use, the emergence of the hippies, the large-scale emergence of alternative religious beliefs, the beginning of the gay-rights movement. Virtually every sector of society except old rich white guys was in open revolt. On top of that, to make it really frightening for the conservatives whose highest priority is the financial consolidation of wealth, Rachel Carson wrote the book that began the environmental movement - and Ralph Nader ignited the consumer movement.
At the time Powell wrote that memo, he opens with words to the effect that "we are under siege" from the point of view of conservatives who believe that their country was coming apart at the seams - and they had to do something dramatic to reverse the course of the nation. Powell laid out a strategy for the conservatives in the memo: Dial back the power of the middle class; dial back the financial stability of the middle class, and restore the role of the wealthy at the center of power to regulate society - and prevent the country from lurching in other directions.
He pointed out that in '71 that most corporations were apolitical. He said that "we've got to get political and take control of the institutions in our society." He advised taking control of higher education; of the workplace by weakening the unions; of the court system; of influencing the public opinion and the media - and, of course, taking control of the government.
Powell was keen on think tanks and associations that would advance a corporate agenda, and groups like the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society owe their origins to Powell's 1971 memo - including the CATO Foundation and what the Koch brothers are up to now. Just a short time after he wrote the memo, Richard Nixon put him on the Supreme Court, where he was in a position to implement parts of his memo. This included particularly legally empowering the corporate world and the wealthy.
KARLIN: You have a section on Roger Ailes as head of the GOP network (FOX). How significant do you think TV has been in getting America's white working - and what remains of the middle - class to blame the nation's woes on less fortunate non-whites, in many cases as poor as them?
HARTMANN: It's been absolutely consequential. FOX News was started by a billionaire who, in the beginning, lost 100 million dollars a year for the first five years in order to get the network up [it is now extremely profitable].
Republicans have really struggled since FDR to reverse the New Deal.
In 1968, LBJ had negotiated peace between North and South Vietnam. The Nixon campaign got a hold of the information that an end to the Vietnam War was at hand through the peace talks being held in Paris. A telephone transcript released of a conversation between President Johnson and Republican Senator Everett Dirksen indicates that Johnson knew that the Nixon campaign was [as they succeeded at doing] undermining the tentative peace agreement.
Johnson told Dirksen that what Nixon's campaign was doing in trying to sabotage peace in order to win the '68 election against [Hubert] Humphrey was treason, and Dirksen, a senior Republican, agreed. In effect, Johnson was pleading with leading Republicans to get the Nixon operatives to allow a peace agreement. But Nixon refused to back off and won the '68 election [but thousands upon thousands of US soldiers and Vietnamese died over the next few years, as well as an escalation of the war into Cambodia - and the resultant Khmer Rouge massacres - due to a GOP willingness to sacrifice lives to win an election].
Reagan's campaign was long-rumored to have undercut an agreement to free hostages toward the end of the Carter administration because it would likely mean Carter's re-election. The Reagan campaign [allegedly through a fall 1980 meeting with revolutionary Iranian government officials and Reagan campaign honcho William Casey] promised Iran a better deal than they said Carter would give them, as well as spare military parts. At the time Carter was near an agreement for the return of the US hostages, 80% of Iran was polled and supported their release. But the Reagan campaign, like Nixon's, prevailed against US interests. In short, the Reagan administration likely assumed power also as a result of treason.
And then you have George W. Bush, whose brother was governor of Florida when Al Gore appeared to have more actual votes [although uncounted] than Bush. On top of that, Jeb Bush, through Katherine Harris, got about 80,000 African-American voters stricken from the polls through a caging strategy that struck felons and non-felons with similar names from the voting rolls. And that put Bush within range of officially counted votes for the Supreme Court to steal the election for Bush.
There has not been a Republican legitimately elected president since Dwight Eisenhower. In the House of Representatives, the Democrats got a million and a half more votes than the Republicans. The only reason that the Republicans are holding the House is because of redistricting, because of gerrymandering.
When your political agenda is to screw working people and the poor and reward rich people at all costs, you are not going to win elections. So they have to build coalitions with people who are anti-something, because if they ran on economics they would always lose. So organizations like ALEC have put their thumb on the scale and tipped things hugely in the direction of the GOP. It's been just enough to get Republicans in power in many areas of elective government.
The media is tilted right and has created the modern infrastructure for the Republican Party. In most of the country, you can't even get progressive radio anymore. So when Roger Ailes first sat down with Richard Nixon and said, let's create this GOP TV thing, Nixon didn't have the money. When Ailes found someone who could support his idea in Rupert Murdoch, it changed the course of our country.
KARLIN: What was the top marginal tax rate under the Eisenhower administration?
HARTMANN: It was 91 percent.
KARLIN: What do you have to say in the chapter curiously titled "Reagan Kidnapped the Jetsons"?
HARTMANN: From the time of George Washington to the beginning of the Reagan administration, as productivity increased so did wages. Reagan disentangled that correlation through a variety of strategies. As a result, for the last 32 years wages have been flat as productivity has continued to increase. If wages right now tracked productivity, the average wage right now would be around $22 an hour. The "Jetsons" portrayed a day when workers had abundant leisure time due to increased productivity and wages. But, instead, we've been living in an austerity economy where any additional wealth that is produced by working people does not go to them, it goes to the rich.
KARLIN: In a chapter called "Madness," you have two sections: global psychopaths and bankster psychopaths? How literally do you mean those terms?
HARTMANN: I mean them absolutely literally. There is evidence that many people who run top corporations and key parts of our economy are quite literally sociopaths. Sociopaths are people who are unable to empathize with others; everyone else is sort of an object for their pleasure. Because they don't feel empathy, they can do things that other people couldn't morally do. They believe themselves above society's rules.
Here's a simple test: Ask yourselves what makes a person worth a million dollars a day, a week or months for their services? If there are a lot of people with the skills to be CEOs around, the competition for the top positions should create a competitive environment that would lower salaries. So what's happened to drive the salaries up so high?
Since Reagan, CEOs became almost solely responsible to their stockholders and their board of directors, not to their employees and their communities. When Reagan came along, he incentivized a change by changing the tax code to pay CEOs bonuses with stock options. As stockholders, one of the things the CEOs would do is everything they could to drive up the stock price since they would benefit. This changed the way we do corporate business: "Let's do everything we can to squeeze dividends and higher stock prices out of the company."
Now, the long-term capital gains on the stock holdings have a tax of just 15 percent. The Reagan change ensured that corporate CEOs would be less concerned about the environment, employees, etc. What kind of person can do that and be compensated so lavishly?
Sociopaths are a very small slice of our society, about one or two percent. And among that group, those who make their way through the top business schools is relatively a very small number of people. That's why sociopath CEOs can demand such a high level of pay and stock bonuses.

Fuji X20 or X100 ....new firmware????
darylmesa wrote:
I'm a current sony A37 owner and am looking into the possibly of replacing it with a fuji X20.
I have owned and traded cameras from just about every market.
Pentax, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Olympus, now Sony
No, I don't really enjoy playing leapfrog from company to company, but I do prefer to have what I like and am not loyal to any brand. If fuji makes a camera that fits my needs, then I'll get a fuji and the same for the other companies.
Since I like to shoot with only one lens (preferably a lowlight prime) I've never been to worried about making a jump from one company to the next.
When I went from Nikon d7000 to fuji X100 I was in love...for about 2 months, until the dreaded focussing became to much. My children were pretty much a blur except for posed shots. Other than than I LOVED everything else about the camera.
I tried out the olympus epl3, but never really fell in love with that camera. I like the colors but not the high ISO and not the lack of VF.
Since I liked the evf of the fuji x100 ( never really used the ovf that much, since i prefered the evf "pre-chimp" option) I decided to go with an entry level sony A37 for the dslr (slt) speed and the evf. Though I enjoy the camera I am constantly reminded why I went for the fuji X100 in the 1st place (size, bulk, form) and plus I'm not entirely pleased with A37 evf.
So I have been looking at the X20 (mainly for the fuji colors and vf). Though the X10 is lot cheaper now and the IQ is nearly the same I don't think I'll be able to handle the zero info in the VF (why I chose the x100 over the X10). Then I saw the "super firmware" update business for the X100 boasting improved AF and MF, but those update mentions have seemed to have disappeared off the planet. Yet my recent issue of "Reponse Photo" talks about the update coming at the beginning of Sept...well that obviously never happened.
I guess I'm asking which would be a better choice the X20 or is there actuallu a AF/MF firmware update for the X100
thanks for any replies
Hi Daryl,
I think you are comparing apple to oranges a bit. The Fuji x20 is a nice camera (I have one......replaced my x10) and I am very happy with it.
The main reason I replaced the x10 was because of the much faster and accurate focus and much sharper pictures because of no anti aliasing filter on the x20. It is noticeably sharper than the x10.
However you really can't compare the x20 to the x100 as far as picture quality especially at high iso's. The x100 is MUCH better because of the bigger sensor.
For myself if I need a very compact camera to take anywhere I use the x20. If I need a step up in quality I use my Sony Nex 6 (which would be similar to the Fuji x100).
Of course if I need ultimate quality I use my Canon 1DX!
My point is I would not really consider the x20 as REPLACING the X100 but more as a compliment TO the x100.
I actually purchased the x20 because I found the Nex 6 a little too slow to focus on fast moving kids (like your problem with the x100).
For a high quality "snap shot" take everywhere type camera the Fuji x20 is perfect.
It can't however replace the quality of the files I get from the Nex 6.......especially at high iso's.
I believe you would end up ultimately being disappointed with the x20 if you are used the high quality files of the x100.
You would kind of be trading one problem (slow focus on the x100) for another (lower quality files of the x20).
By the way I only shoot raw.
Just something to think about.

Unsolicited e-mails continue to plague Europeans and account for between 50 and 80% of all messages sent to mail inboxes. Yesterday, an EU Commissioner called on their governments to step up their fight against spam, spyware and other illegal online activities and implement EU rules to improve Internet safety. Duh.
An EU report found that only two EU nations — the Netherlands and Finland — were making progress with enforcing the 2002 law to crack down on spam.
Here's the last piece of news that is not surprising:
The biggest culprit of EU spam remains the United States, which accounts for 21.6% of spam coming into the 25-nation EU. China is the second-biggest producer with 13.4%, while EU member France is third with 6.3%.

text: Hi Aleksey, What are the exact values of ${version} and ${integr-version} from your publish targets? Also, can you share your ivysettings file? How your resolvers are configured could make a big difference in which version gets chosen. Jason ________________________________ From: Alex Zhukov [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Mon 5/18/2009 1:33 PM To: email@example.com Subject: Ivy: question about multiple projects env Hello all, I already posted this question on ivy-users list but got no answer. Please, can you help me with that? I have tried to repeat the example of using Ivy in multiple projects environment similar to what is given in ivy tutorial (http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.1.0-rc1/tutorial/multiproject.html), but with a small modification, but it did not work. I would like to ask you if my changes should work and there is a bug in ivy or if I am doing something wrong and should do it differently. So here you go. I have multi-project dir with two subdirectories representing two modules, modules are named 'first' and 'second'. Where module second depends on artifact produced by module 'first'. I have set build.xml, common/common.xml similar to the tutorial. 'first' artifact depends on public artifacts only: 'second' artifact depends on 'first' and public artifacts: here, as you can see, is the difference from the tutorial. I want artifact 'second' depend on 'first', but want to be flexible in the way of the actual version of 'first'. I want to be able to make changes to 'first' and build 'second' with these changes, but, at the same time, if needed be able to build second with official version of 'first'. To accomplish that I have two resolve targets set and two publish targets: where ${integr-version} is build with ivy:buildnumber and ${version} is read from version.property. So now the problem I observe is that if I publish integration version of 'first' locally with status='integration' and have official version of 'first' in the repository with status='release' ivy always picks up the official version. It looks like ivy:resolve is ignoring the status of the published artifact it tries to resolve, (well, at least I thought that ivy will look at the status and take it into account). I admit that I may approach the problem in the wrong way and there is the right way to do it, but that is what I came up with and would really appreciate any suggestions on this mater. Thank you. Aleksey HotmailÛ has a new way to see what's up with your friends. Check it out. _________________________________________________________________ HotmailÛ has a new way to see what's up with your friends. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/WhatsNew?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_WhatsNew1_052009

a pleco will grow too big for your 20G unless you get a smaller spieces, even then, it may outgrow your tank. I would up the amount of neon tetras to 6, they really enjoy being a shoal of atleast 6, anything less streeses them out which will lead to health problems and early death....you could add some cory catfish, they remain small....although they will not suck to glass....if you look for a bottom dweller, they would work well. Black skirts would work, but keep them in groups of 6 as well.... keep in mind your platys will continue to mate unless they are all one sex....which will overtake your tank with fry |
thanks anyone ekse have ideas ' |
Upside-Down Catfish maybe? |
how how about some clown loaches, they have a striking yellow color with black stripes and are great bottom feeders. You have to be careful with the larger tetras because they may start nipping the guppy's tail. |
Clown loaches are great fish but they are not suited for a 20 gl. They grow rather large and prefer to be in groups. How long as your tank been set up? Otos could be an option, provided your tank has been established for a few months and has an algae source. Is this tank planted? An albino bristlenose pleco would also work. I have one and he's topped out at 3' 1/2". I would think a plec that small would be fine in a 20g. |
yes my tank is quite heavily planted with lots of swords and anubias on driftwood and nice bushy ones( i dont know the name :) the substrate is sand and i am not sure if i have algae ....how do i tell. if i decide to get some bristlenose plecos do they like being in groups or just in 1's or 2's.....also will these fish you have mentioned be ok with a sucking catfish or will i have to sacrifice him... any other suggestions would be apreciated thanks |
Otos prefer to be in groups (2 to 3, at least) and they produce a very small bio load and will get along fine with the other fish in your tank. Another thing to note on the otos: They are very picky when it comes to water parameters. If the params aren't stellar otos easily perish. Bristles can be kept solo and have a larger bioload. The bristle will also be perfecty fine with the other fish in your tank. (Otos and bristles can also be kept together.) |
thanks Aunt Kymmie i might just go out and buy some otos and bristle noses ... how many do you recommend ( i do not want to reach the max of my occupancy of my tank so as little as possible would be good)but if i must have 2, 3 bristles then i will and get a couple otos |

Everybody is going crazy with these Raspberry Pi cards, it's a nice board with a lot of potential and one of the common activities seen in these months around the web is case construction, there're also websites with rankings and user polls. As every geek I'd like to show you my personal Raspi case built with alumium and recycled parts:
I'm using the raspberry as a SOHO server for providing services for a LAN, it hasSamba, DNS, DHCP, NTPD, UPNP, rsync for a small media server; obviously with Moebius Linux loaded on it.
This case has the Raspberry and an integrated USB hub, the board takes power source from the same hub and uses it to expand available ports (overall 5+1 ports are free), Power supply is provided from a 5V 1.5A PSU, enough to serve multiple peripherals along with the Raspi. Integrated ethernet connection allows it to connect to the web and usb ports are commonly used for usb storage and a serial to usb adapter (for the serial console)
Here are more photos of it
Right side
I've also provided full details regarding the construction process so you can build your own too, contact me if you're interested in it. Moebius is loaded on it, the process also shows the insulation steps taken to avoid mistakes with aluminium conductivity, I've taken ideas from common retail PCs where the case is build with conductive material but motherboard and other critical components are kept separated from it.
Hardware section for further projects
The collection of the Raspi ALU Case posts (with detailed instructions)
Feel free to discuss the process or leave me comments on it, I hope you'll enjoy it

After all that trouble wouldn't make more sense to just make the usb connection internal and also do one for the ethernet so that it, one, hides this hack, and second can align the Ethernet and usb connections.
As in make the case more long than wide and hide the original usb and ethernet ports inside.
ben on 2012/10/19 at 10:27 pm
I must agree with you about the Raspberry USB port but here are few constraints: I've just that piece of aluminium and an internal raspberry won't fit in it, I must build an extension for the ethernet port and it will increase the whole size and the cost (currently 0.00€/$/£).
But I must consider your comments for a more improved version with an internal Pi and just the outside hub for the I/O access, I don't like the horrible usb cable coming out from it, thanks for contributing
maniaci137 on 2012/10/19 at 10:10 pm
Dude. Great job, but please invest in a right-angle USB cord.
I'd cut those cables open and shorten them, too. But, if you're averse to that, you can just use a right angle extension cable:
$2. Can't beat that.
Again, great case!
ben on 2012/10/19 at 10:40 pm
2$ is a fair price for a cable, I really love it. I must admit I was looking for something like that in my local retail stores but it's impossible to find them in the place where I live. I've also looked at Farnell but for a 90° USB A cable the retail price was obscene so I've tried to use what was available in my desk. As observed from another reader a cleaner solution might be to totally hide the Raspberry internally, I'll keep all your suggestions to improve my next creation. Thanks for sharing

Art Directors Overview of Education & Training | | |
Most Significant Source of Postsecondary Education or Training In-Depth Look at Education & TrainingArt directors usually have years of work experience and generally need at least a bachelor's degree. Because of the level of technical expertise demanded, multimedia artists and animators also need a bachelor's degree. Although formal schooling is not strictly required for craft and fine artists, it is very difficult to become skilled enough to make a living without some training. Education and training. Many colleges and universities offer programs leading to a bachelor's or master's degree in fine arts. Courses usually include core subjects such as English, social science, and natural science, in addition to art history and studio art. Independent schools of art and design also offer postsecondary studio training in the craft, fine, and multimedia arts leading to certificates in the specialties or to an associate or bachelor's degree in fine arts. Typically, these programs focus more intensively on studio work than do the academic programs in a university setting. In 2009 the National Association of Schools of Art and Design accredited approximately 300 postsecondary institutions with programs in art and design; most of these schools award a degree in art. Art directors usually begin as entry-level artists or designers in advertising, publishing, design, or motion picture production firms. An artist is promoted to art director after having demonstrated artistic and leadership abilities. Depending on the scope of their responsibilities, some art directors may pursue a degree in art administration or management, which teaches business skills such as project management and finance. Many educational programs in art also provide training in computer techniques. Computers are used widely in the visual arts, and knowledge and training in computer graphics and other visual display software are critical elements of many jobs in these fields. Medical illustrators must have both a demonstrated artistic ability and a detailed knowledge of living organisms, surgical and medical procedures, and human and animal anatomy. A bachelor's degree combining art and premedical courses usually is required. However, most medical illustrators also choose to pursue a master's degree in medical illustration. This degree is offered in four accredited schools in the United States. Those who want to teach fine arts at public elementary or secondary schools usually must have a teaching certificate in addition to a bachelor's degree. An advanced degree in fine art... |

sorry for the confusion, I realize now that it wasn't too clear that I am the developer of Toodledosync. I've sent you a reply.

OK, I did send it now to the developer by email, I truly hope he can help. I wonder how people can use the software if it duplicates their sync every time they do it. I could not not find anything unique about the way I worked with this sync solution. It's more likely something unique about your computer. Most people seem to get along fine once they get past the initial setup of the app. It's just a matter of getting it going in the first place |

I did eventually sync all my tasks, but have had continous problems with speed on Firefox. It is so easy on the phone, I end up using it 90% of the time. I stopped using Firefox and switched to IE - which I really didn't want to do, but I really need the capability. I will not be using the sync software - it has caused hours and hours of repeats, problems, install, uninstall.... I am going to Cloud-IE interface and iPhone for offline use. |
Anders |
FYI, the Firefox issue is isolated to the most recent version. Toodledo is working on optimizing that. IE works, but you can also roll FF back to a previous version (the latest one is somewhat buggy IMO anyway).

I have noticed that emails that I flag and are placed in my Outlook do not sync with my Toodledo iPhone app. Is this not supported?

Can I respray clear on top of clear that has dried if I sand it..
I painted my car...there was not enough lighting in the booth and on my fender there was a area that the clear did not get to on the 2nd coat. So you can see that it is thin and by the texture that not enough clear had gone there. If I sand the area with 400 grit can I spray another coat of clear there. Then wet sand the entire panel after it is dry to get rid of any over spray on other areas and to flatten all the clear to the same level. Then buff. Would there by any adhesive problems? Thanks
Sponsored Links | |||
Curious why do I need to spray more base..I have enough on it. Or was that a typo? It is a Dupont Urethane clear It has been a few days in 90 degree heat in my garage. Also its a solid black color base. There is clear on the spot that didnt get hit with enough. It was from the first pass or coat. The 2nd coat did not quite catch it. So you can see the whole quarter is smooth and shinny..the area that didnt get enough has that overspray looking texture where it looks thin. I was thinking wet sand that texture smooth and shoot over it with some clear. But I am not sure what that will do to the rest of the clear. If it will have lifting problems sticking to the existing clear and if it will blend with the existing clear. Thanks for you reply.
If you cut through the clear in to the base coat you will need to spray more base or it will look off from the rest of the panel, if theres enough clear in that first coat to sand and NOT break through respray the entire panel (if possible) with clear. If you cant/dont wamnt to do the whole panel you could just do the spot then blend it in, theres good information on blending if you search.
The only time you need to spray more base is if you happen to cut through the clear.
Play it safe, after you sand the existing clear set the car in the sun with the panel that you are going to re-clear in direct sunlight. Leave it there all day with the sun on it. This will eliminate or reduce any chance of solvent popping from solvents being released from the existing clear. Take a look at my posts and see the problem I had with some fenders that had been cleared for months, the re-cleared. Also you need to re-clear the entire panel. Vince |
Clear Coat
I agree with the sensitivity of the old clear once it is sanded and resprayed. If you wait as long as you can (days, weeks) and let the solvents escape and the clear is dry thoroughly you "shouldn't" have a problem. I sensed that you missed the spot on the lower part of the quarter. If there is a style line near the area, I would sand the 1st coat of clear with 600 then 1200 grit wet and dry using water. I'd sand up to and maybe 1/32 of an inch over the style line (if there is a style line). I'd then reverse mask that line and spray the clear right up to that edge of the masking. That way you will have a lil extra clear at the edge of the style line that you can buff without fear of rubbing thru the edge. If you have had at least one coat on the "bad" part I wouldn't worry about the base coat, unless you get aggressive with you wet sanding.
Good Luck (IF all else fails GO WITH DULUX !!! LIL) |
