Reporting from New York —
Elizabeth Olsen recently experienced something that had never happened to her: She was recognized by a stranger.
"It was really weird. I was walking in Tribeca and a guy just came up to me and said, 'I just saw the trailer for your movie, and I'm really looking forward to it,' and then he kept on walking," the young actress recalled.
Then she added uncertainly, "I hope he wasn't confusing me with someone else."
That she would find this exchange exciting might seem, well, really weird in its own right. Olsen is the younger sister of those Olsens, the tabloid fixtures Mary-Kate and Ashley. She's spent a lifetime watching her sisters hounded by TMZ, pursued by autograph-seekers, roasted by late-night hosts. But she's avoided the limelight.
Walking around Greenwich Village, the outgoing 22-year-old might as well be just another NYU acting student, albeit one who happens to have spent parts of the past year shooting films. She has some of the same facial features as her famous sisters, but like so much in her life to this point, nothing about her suggests that she's related to the entertainment world's most famous twins.
"'You mean, there's another one?'" actress Sarah Paulson said, laughing, as she recalled her reaction upon hearing about the third Olsen sister for the first time, before the pair began shooting their movie "Martha Marcy May Marlene." "Where have they been hiding her?"
With her starring turn in Sean Durkin's challenging indie, Olsen's anonymity won't last much longer. Anchoring a drama that has drawn acclaim at the Sundance and Cannes film festivals, Olsen plays Martha — the other monikers are given to her by John Hawkes' rough-hewn cult leader, Patrick — a complex, vulnerable young woman grappling with a traumatic past. She delivers a remarkable performance, the sort that gets your attention for a lot more than her last name.
As the film, which Fox Searchlight opens Friday in Los Angeles, quietly begins, Martha can be seen wandering disoriented into a small-town diner from the compound where she'd been living with Patrick and his other followers. She's soon retrieved by her tightly wound sister Lucy (Paulson) and whisked to the upscale lake house Lucy shares with her Wall Street husband, Ted ( Hugh Dancy). While Martha is ostensibly safe with them, it's not long before the effects of her cult stay — which Durkin depicts in carefully modulated flashbacks — begin to surface.
Olsen's job isn't easy: She's portraying someone strong enough to walk away from the group yet sufficiently weak to be drawn in by it.
"Even though the part called for someone who's been through a lot, I didn't want it just to be a victim," said the soft-spoken Durkin, 29, a first-time feature filmmaker who on a late-summer day accompanied Olsen, who goes by Lizzie, and a reporter on a walk around downtown Manhattan and then to the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens. "What I wanted was someone who had a lot of autonomy but just sort of had it repressed."
Durkin recalls how Olsen arrived at her audition with four giant suitcases — the accouterments of a frazzled college junior more than Hollywood royalty. "I think I had my detergent with me," Olsen said. She had had to move out of her apartment the same day, and though she'd stashed some things with Mary-Kate, she was heading to a film set and was essentially homeless.
"When the audition was over, I was expecting some big dude to come in and carry her stuff," Durkin said. "But when I asked her, she's like 'Nope,' and threw some bags over her shoulder. There was something very vibrant and determined about her."
He gave her the part.
Olsen has been trying to go her own way for a while. Growing up with famous siblings made it clear to her early, she said, that she wanted a different career. "They were trying to build a whole [fashion and brand] enterprise. And I was trying to be an actor," Olsen said.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen declined to comment.
Even though she grew up watching her sisters on sets — and moved in a circle that had her going to Halloween parties at the home of Hollywood makeup artist Rick Baker — it was trips to Broadway that gave her the acting bug. One or both of her parents (the Olsens divorced just before Lizzie started grade school) would take the three girls and their older brother, Trent (yes, there's a fourth Olsen sibling) from Los Angeles to New York, where they would frequently see plays.
It didn't hurt, ether, that Lizzie Olsen has a natural craving for attention. Upon seeing a clip from "Meet Me in St. Louis" at the museum, she ran up to the screen, belted out a verse from the musical and curtsied. "The irony is that I was always the performer in the family," she told a reporter.
But she didn't want to take roles "in small things, like direct-to-VHS movies" (something her sisters, incidentally, had no problem doing, in twin-tastic movies such as "It Takes Two" and "Passport to Paris"). When producers asked if she wanted in — and it happened regularly, Olsen said — she often turned them down.
"She could have piggybacked on her sisters' success, maybe gotten a producer to cast her in a movie with them," Paulson said. "But she didn't. You couldn't even find a picture of her on the Internet until recently."
Added Hawkes: "I think the word is 'grounded.'"
Instead, Olsen would understudy Broadway shows and even went to Moscow on a theater exchange program. It wasn't until she was an upperclassman at NYU that she began auditioning for films.
She has since made up for that restraint by shooting five independent films, including a comedy directed by actor-filmmaker Josh Radnor and a Bruce Beresford film, "Peace, Love & Misunderstanding," which was coolly received at the Toronto Film Festival.
She's also tried to avoid the route taken by Selena Gomez and other contemporaries — she's stayed off Twitter ("your personal space is your personal space"), and she auditioned for the Disney movie "Prom" and found herself laughing about it. "I just couldn't take it seriously," she said.
Olsen says she's annoyed by most of the roles written for young women. "They're supposed to be either as perfect as how they're portrayed on Disney or as mean as they're portrayed in high school movies. And in real life it's neither of those."
Hawkes, nominated for an Oscar for his supporting role in the gritty 2010 drama "Winter's Bone," called Olsen "tireless" in toggling at one point between the "Martha" and "Peace" sets. "I worked with Jennifer Lawrence [on 'Winter's Bone'] not that long ago and saw her phenomenal performance — and it felt like it was happening again: a young, unknown woman was carrying a movie."
Durkin took a "Winter's Bone"-like approach in crafting "Martha Marcy May Marlene." In writing the script, he wanted to break from stereotypes surrounding cults (he was careful not to even use the word); he shot some of the cult scenes on a farm belonging to an uncle of one of the filmmakers. The location fit with the film's micro-budget.
With its meditative tone and ambiguous ending, the movie isn't an obvious blockbuster, and Olsen has been doing her part to help promote its release. But a life spent watching her friends and sisters has given Olsen a lukewarm attitude about publicity.
"I used to think publicists were just a wall between you and the public," she said. "What I'm now realizing is that you need to put yourself out there, and people are going to want to know about your movie, but they're also going to ask you about fashion and about your life and your family.
"When I was in high school I started to get a little insecure about [questions about the Olsen twins]," she said. "And if I started acting professionally [then] I might have been scared or gone about it differently. But now I feel like I'm a realized person," sounding, like many in her generation, 22 going on 40.
She's also changing in another way, showing an actor's penchant for letting public expectation translate into private pressure.
"I am a little worried that if the first movie that's coming out is so [well regarded] then people expect everything to be good," she said.
"It's a good problem to have," Durkin reassured her.
"I guess," Olsen replied. "But you can only go downhill."

AllThingsD: Apple will announce iPad mini on October 23
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Rumors
AllThingsD is reporting that it's been informed by "people familiar with Apple plans", by which they might mean Apple PR, that an invite-only event is being held for October 23rd for the much-rumored and highly-anticipated iPad mini. The report also speculates that the event will be held at a smaller venue like Apple's Town Hall. The timing makes sense since the new revamped user interface iTunes was promised by Apple to be released at an unspecified date in October. Likewise, it is a perfect competitive maneuver against the Microsoft Surface Tablet which is slated to launch on the 26th.
The iPad Mini is rumored to house a 7.85-inch IPS display with the same resolution of the iPad 2 and a new Lightning connector. The starting price is expected be around $199-249. Details of the wireless connectivity are vague, yet some are speculating it will be Wi-Fi-only, forgoing a cellular option. If I were a betting man, the iPad mini will be very thin, light, easy for one-handed use and perfectly sized as a stocking stuffer for the upcoming holiday shopping season. In addition, AllThingsD has a good track record forecasting past Apple events. So, fingers crossed.

In his recent column ("'Occupy movement got America wrong," Sept. 23), Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. illustrates the denial of economic reality in America that is continually propagated by the 1 percent. At the heart of his argument is the idea that the American Dream is alive and well, the happy meritocracy is humming along nicely, and that Occupy Wall Street is a group of slackers who devote their energies to trying to derail this bedrock concept upon which he and the 1 percent perch. Either he wasn't paying attention and completely missed what Occupy is about, or simply will not admit that he does know. In any event, Occupy got America right!
The legacy of the Occupy movement is that the wealth created by the economic output of the country (say the workers, or the 99 percent) has been extracted by the 1 percent, and that the game is rigged. Mr. Ehrlich and the crony capitalists he so strongly advocates for know that the only way for them to maintain the status quo is for them to continue propagation of the American Dream fantasy which keeps the workers anesthetized. The very word "redistribution" sends chills down their backbones because it illustrates that there is a hole in the dike and water is leaking. Once the dam breaks and the Wizard of Oz curtain is pulled back, everyone will see that the 1 percent are no different than everyone else. At this point, the belief that everyone wants to be in the 1 percent is astonishing!
Earth to Mr. Ehrlich: Americans, in general, are not motivated by uncontrolled greed and understand that for this country to re-establish a strong, solid economy, we must make the American Dream a reality again. Simply put, the American Dream is the vision of prosperity shared by all of the people of the hardest working country on the planet. It's the ability to retire with financial and health security after a lifetime of hard work, having provided a foundation for one's children and a secure future for the country.
Occupy brought the attention of the country to the picture which had been portrayed with frightening accuracy a couple of years ago by Michael Moore in his movie, "Capitalism — A Love Story." The moral of the story was that capitalism controlled by unbridled greed does not work and has resulted in what we have today in our country — a stunning concentration of the wealth produced by the whole in the hands of a few with a broken down middle class and incredible level of poverty. Our economic system has finally run out of steam, and consumers do not have the ability to consume at a level that will allow it to function properly. It wasn't until Occupy focused attention on our current situation that we began to read the disheartening statistics.
Occupy is an idea that isn't going away. It's the water leaking through the dam, and there are structural cracks throughout. It's a group of people who represent the economic and cultural diversity of this country, who each want to do something constructive and choose to focus on a wide variety of issues. The list of positive accomplishments is too long for this commentary. Mr. Ehrlich may pride himself on his expertise on the subject, but I don't remember seeing him at any of the Occupy Baltimore meetings at McKeldin Square last fall (maybe he had his own tight-knit group in Annapolis). Mr. Ehrlich, or if you prefer, "Walmart Bob," get the yacht moored nearby. It's likely to get a little wet.

Workers on Wednesday raise C-Pec, the 47-foot tugboat that sank Saturday in the middle of the Mississippi River near Venice, closing the river for several hours and necessitating the rerouting of a cruise ship.
(Gerald Herbert, Associated Press)
An arduous, five-day effort to locate and surface a tugboat that rolled and sank in the Mississippi River near Venice on Saturday, interrupting the flow of traffic and commerce, has finally come to an end.
Crews pulled the 47-foot-long towing vessel out of the water Wednesday. The river had been closed, either partially or entirely, since then and was finally reopened in both directions later Wednesday.
"Closing down the river was a big deal," said Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Brandon Sullivan, who was there as the tugboat was pulled from the river. Venice is about 75 miles southeast of New Orleans.
The on-and-off river closures since the incident Saturday caused some ships to have to anchor and wait a chance for passage and some, including one cruise ship full of passengers bound for New Orleans, to be rerouted to Mobile, Ala.
"Any delay is a loss, but it certainly could have been worse," Gary Lagrange, president of the Port of New Orleans, said Tuesday. Day to day, Lagrange said, costs grow "exponentially."
The river wasn't completely reopened in both directions until midday Wednesday.
Lagrange had no estimate on how much the recent closures cost the port.
Divers secured the tug with cable to a work barge on Tuesday. A day later, the tug was completely raised, water was pumped from it and it was towed away.
One of the divers said high water levels and the river's powerful current were challenging.
"You can't see your hand in front of your face," said Travis Lemm, a diver with Blackwater Diving based in Morgan City, La. "The current is ungodly. The pressure on you, it pulls you so hard, and you have to tie your hose off. You can't really see what you're doing, so you have to feel your way around."
The Coast Guard, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, local authorities and private companies were involved in the search and salvage effort, which included the use of sonar.
The Guard said two people were rescued from the water after the sinking. The cause of the accident remains unclear.
"We know it took on water very quickly, and it sank very quickly," Sullivan said.

Nakation News – Best Beaches for Snorkelling and Diving
The Bare Beaches book has come up with their top 5 nudist beaches for snorkelling and diving. These are:
1. Paya Bay beach, Honduras
Paya Bay beach is located within Paya Bay Resort which is described as a beach, nature, leisure, and wellness boutique hotel on the beautiful island of Roatan in the Central American Caribbean.
There are three beaches in the bay –
– Bliss Beach (topless apart from specially designated naturist weeks) – this has been voted one of the top ten most beautiful private beaches in the Caribbean.
– Buccaneer Landing – a private, protected cove teeming with juvenile tropical fish that is ideal for sunbathing and swimming
– Secret Cove – a spectacular little cove near the tip of the Alligator Head rock formation that has excellent snorkeling as soon as you enter the water.
For more information see the Paya Bay Resort website.
2. Sunset Waters beach, Curacao
3. Sveti Nikola, Porec, Croatia
The naturist beach on Sveti Nikola is located just off the coast of Porec. The islet of Sveti Nikola is Porec's oldest bathing place and a favourite since the end of the 19th century. The islet can be reached by free boat which starts regularly (every 30 minutes) from the town promenade and only takes a few minutes.
When you get to the island, proceed left along the coast, past the textile beach and than you will find entrances to the FKK beach on the left side of the path.
The beach itself is marked as naturist only with large FKK signs written on the shore. It is very small (no more than 100 meters in length), extremely rocky and hidden from sight. It has no facilities whatsoever and no shade, so take what you need for the day.
4. Vritomartis, Crete
See my blog for more information on this beach.
5. Villata, Porto Vechio, Corsica
For more information click here.
If you have been to any of these beaches we would love to hear from you. Alternatively, if you have any suggestions on any other nudist beaches that are ideal for snorkelling please do get in touch.

Subscribe To Magic Mike Sequel Is Pretty Far Along, Says Steven Soderbergh Updates
I've already subscribed
Steven Soderbergh has his Liberace biopic, Behind the Candelabra, coming to HBO in a few weeks, but the director is also prepping his first sequel since Ocean's 13 … even though he might not be as involved as fans probably hoped.
The director conducted an interview with Pride Source on behalf of Candelabra, where he shares valuable insight into his process and the approach both Michael Douglas and Matt Damon took to their iconic screen roles. Toward the end of the interview, though, Soderbergh talks about a Magic Mike sequel, crediting the overwhelming reception from the gay community for the film's success. On the progress of the sequel, Soderbergh shares:
We actually just had a meeting about it the other day. It's getting pretty far along. They've got a good idea. There were some stories and events that Channing lived through that we just couldn't fit in the first one. One of them is a really hilarious and very cinematic idea that we reluctantly didn't put in the first film, because it was such a big idea you could build a whole film out of it - but we didn't want to build that film out of it. It's perfect for this, though.Soderbegrh says the original cast will return, though he will not be in the director's chair. As many know, the filmmaker has been throwing around the term "retirement," saying Candelabra and Side Effects likely would be his last movies. However, he back off that in the interview, now stating:
In terms of movies, it's going to be a break. I don't know how extended. I'm just taking a break from that specific kind of work for a while to see if I can tear everything down and rebuild it. See if I can come back different."So he's already thinking about what he'll be like when he comes back? That's encouraging. No one wants to imagine a world without new Soderbergh films … even if we do have Magic Mike 2 to eventually look forward to.

Two weeks later came an even more forthright outburst.
The letter to Reuters is dated 20 Could, 1939, Reuters archives, London. I want to thank- the administrators and employees of Reuters for permission to make use of this file and for his or her assist in making it avai, lable to me.
Swire to Otto Theiss, 13 Could 1938. B3/eight. Swire's letters have been organized in quite a few information, to which I've given the designations equivalent to B3, VI, and so forth.
I've simply acquired again from Granollers. I suppose that if, 5 years therefore, I write in a e-book that on this sunny 31st of Could Franco's bombers massacred ladies and kids by the rating in a wholly defenceless city I shall — by your reckoning — expose myself and my writer to a libel motion. What I've mentioned in Bulgarian Conspiracy is FACT — and I personally am ready to face any courtroom to show it . . . THE BOOK MUST BE PUBLISHED WITHOUT MORE DELAY.
You'll forgive me, I do know, if the foregoing paragraphs are bluntly phrased; however this isn't fully a picnic right here and this hitch about Bulgarian Conspiracy drives me to exaspera tion in my current state. I've written details which everyone within the Balkans is aware of to be true —and there are 1000's prepared, even longing, for the prospect to return ahead in open courtroom to show that they're true.
Swire's confidence within the correctness of his views and the diploma of help which they commanded within the Balkans was very a lot the results of the sympathy and goodwill which was proven to him on the time of his conflict with the Bulgarian authorities. The Vienna correspondent of the Every day Specific, for instance, wrote that he 'was sorry to listen to that the gangsters who run Bulgaria had compelled you in another country.'eight Way more vital to Swire was the sympathy and help he had obtained inside Bulgaria. Simply earlier than his expulsion Swire returned from Athens, his aircraft being compelled by dangerous climate to divert to Belgrade. Within the practice which introduced him on from Belgrade to Sofia he was advised by a Velchevite whom he met by likelihood that he was thought of the perfect reporter in Bulgaria.9 Extra dramatic was the story recounted by Swire when he wrote to Rickartson-Hattjustifyinghisjournalistis exercise in Bulgaria.
Finding out Bulgarian
I feel that should you had had the alternatives that I've had of learning Bulgarian intrigue at first hand, you'd have taken a stronger line (with) the Bulgarian authorities. Briefly, I consider the foundation of the entire bother is that I've been making ready a historical past of Bulgarian conspiracy . . . and the authorities, conscious of this, are afraid of the revelations which, inevitably, such a e-book will comprise. My despatches have been all precisely primarily based upon the information which I've acquired via my research. After I let you know former Minister, who was twice thrown out of energy by "my pal" Damian Veltcheff wept on the street once I advised him I used to be leaving, and once I let you know former chief censor, very, visibly moved, exclaimed: "My God! Why are you going now, after we want you so? You're the solely overseas correspondent who writes the reality fearlessly", you will note that there's one other facet to the query.

With no new Bon Jovi studio album since 2009, fans of the age-defying arena-rock outfit have had to content themselves this year with "Aftermath of the Lowdown," guitarist Richie Sambora's strikingly confessional solo set.
That won't be the case for much longer, though: This spring Bon Jovi is set to release "What About Now," its first record since "The Circle," and to support the disc the group is headed out on another of its globe-spanning arena treks.
On Tuesday morning Bon Jovi announced the first leg of dates on what it's calling Because We Can — The Tour, which will launch Feb. 9 in Uncasville, Conn., and run through late July, when it stops for two nights at MetLife Stadium in the band's home state of New Jersey. Bon Jovi is scheduled to play L.A.'s Staples Center on April 19; tickets for select shows go on sale beginning Nov. 30.
The last time Pop & Hiss caught the band, in 2010 at Anaheim's Honda Center, Bon Jovi went surprisingly political, punctuating "Work for the Working Man" with bits of communist iconography; frontman Jon Bon Jovi even introduced "When We Were Beautiful" as an emblem of his effort to transition from what he called a "me decade" to a "we decade."
No word on the show's contents this time — other than the singer's assurance (in a preview video you can watch below) that he wants to be great every night.
By all means, Jon, please.
[For the record, 4:08 p.m. Nov. 20: An earlier version of this post said tickets for Bon Jovi's Staples Center show go on sale Nov. 30. The on-sale date for that show has yet to be announced.]

New York state Assemblyman Michael Kearns will speak on business issues as they relate to state government during a presentation at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, at Hilbert College, home to St. Bonaventure's Buffalo Center for Graduate Studies.
Kearns, who represents District 142 in the State Assembly, is a lifelong Buffalo resident. He holds degrees from Erie Community College and Canisius College.
After building a career in the private sector — eventually becoming vice president of Kearns & Associates, a family-owned small business — Kearns entered local government, deciding he could no longer sit on the sidelines and watch a government he felt was no longer working for the people.
Since first running for government in 2005, Kearns has earned a reputation for protecting small businesses and citizens from unnecessary corruption.
Kearns' talk will revolve around his experiences in both the private and public sectors and his observations on how they interact.
This event will take place in Bogel Hall, room 101. It is open to all alumni, faculty, staff and students at St. Bonaventure University and Hilbert College.

Pope Francis: The Deacon's Pope UPDATED
Big deal.
Far more important, in my opinion, is the fact that this man IS a deacon in everything he is modeling and teaching us. Even as Archbishop, he consciously made the decision to change his stole before washing feet: he reconfigured his stole into the diaconal mode. That's a conscious decision, telling me that he wanted to be sure that his actions would be seen as diaconal in form and in substance. THAT's a big deal. UPDATED: The latest news from the Vatican offers the photo from today's ceremony at the juvenile detention center, and it appears that the Holy Father is continuing his tradition of rearranging his stole to be worn as a deacon. I'm adding that photo below.
Not unlike previous popes, Francis speaks from his own experience and that, frankly, is generally priestly. But is it such a stretch to take his absolutely wonderful Chrism Mass homily -- focused intentionally on the priesthood -- and adapt it to deacons? I think not. Here's the full text: for the most part, you could simply replace "priest" with deacon, and "dalmatic" for chasuble, and you have a perfect exhortation to deacons.
From his appreciation of carrying the people on our shoulders and in our hearts, to his emphasis on "unction, not function," there is a strong diaconal message for all people, and certainly a model for those of us humbly honored to be a part of the Order of Deacons.
Like his namesake Francis of Assisi, our Francis "gets" the diaconate, thinks like a deacon, and acts like a deacon -- whether he "names" us or not.
Welcome aboard, Holy Deacon Francis!

I posted on this earlier today. I certainly hope that my post didn't come across as being upset, but constructive. I offered the hope that as Pope Francis eases into being the Bishop of Rome, which has a relatively large number of permanent deacons, as opposed to his former diocese of Buenos Aires, which had 7, that he will soon realize what a resource he has in his deacons and those throughout the world in carrying out his vision of renewal in the Church and evangelization.ReplyDelete
I agree wholeheartedly that the fact he chose the name of a deacon as his papal name speaks volumes, as does the way he has carried his ministry thus far.
On a side note, I hope this means you're back to blogging!ReplyDelete
No, sorry, I hadn't yet read your blog on this. I'm not sure where you heard there were only seven deacons in the archdiocese of BA, but we've had a lot more than that show up at international gatherings! In fact, one them was a long-time vice president of the International Diaconate Center.ReplyDelete
Also, according to some Franciscan sources, there is considerable internal debate whether Francis was actually ordained as deacon. So much so, that when Franciscan Kenan Osborne published his book on the diaconate some years ago, he rejected the proposed cover art because it depicted Francis as a deacon, and he didn't want to cause a problem! Not that any of this is a "Kingdom" issue, but thought you'd be interested.
God bless,
I always enjoy your insights. My source for BA deacons was Catholic Hierarchy. So, it may not be accurate.ReplyDelete
I know the history on Francis is fuzzy, but I'll claim him anyway. Glad you're back doing a little blogging, happier that all of your other endeavors are going well.
Whether the original Francis was a deacon or not, we know that the current bishop of Rome is one. He's a joy, and it's also a joy to see Deacon Bill's blog up and running again--with comments enabled, no less.ReplyDelete

E.J. Dionne argues, in a column that Steve linked to here, that President Obama is winning the sequester battle but losing the war:
The more time we spend on pointless disputes about budget cuts no one is expected to make soon, the less we spend trying to solve the problems that confront us today — and, God forbid, thinking about the future. The 2012 election gave President Obama new authority and new energy. Republicans want to place as much distance between themselves and that election as they possibly can. From their perspective, the more months we fritter away on these dumb, fake emergencies, the better. As Obama's clout slowly diminishes, so will his opportunities to press his priorities. . . .
[T]he sequester is allowing the tea party's ghost to haunt Washington. It is as if the election never happened. We are back to exactly the same deficit conversations we were having in 2010 and 2011. We are not pondering ways of helping the economy to grow faster, or how we might reduce joblessness, or how we can usefully invest in the future. We are not discussing what to do about deepening economic inequality.
Mickey Kaus agrees. He goes so far as to suggest that it would be in Obama's interest to "accept the sequester, minimize the impact of cutting a couple of percentage points off the federal budget, settle for a deal that would delay as long as possible the Keynesian effect of the cuts on the economy."
What Dionne and Kaus are missing, but what Obama well understands, is that the battle over sequestration doesn't represent an obstacle to a left-liberal agenda but rather an opportunity for the president ultimately to enact it. Dionne is correct in saying that the 2012 election gave Obama "new authority and new energy." But it did not give him a Democratic House.
Without a Democratic House, Obama has no chance of enacting has agenda (with one important exception that I discuss below). Thus, his number one priority is to win the House in 2014. The sequester provides him with an opportunity to advance that cause. As Steve says:
These fiscal battles have gone badly for Republicans in the past, going back to the Gingrich government shutdown fiasco of 1995. And between the President's megaphone and a sycophantic media, the odds on winning the sequestration perceptions game might appear daunting.
This doesn't mean that Obama will win the sequestration war. But given the playing field and what a victory might well mean, he is shrewd to fight it.
Obama does have a shot at passing comprehensive immigration reform in this Congress. But sequestration isn't an obstacle to such legislation. The success of immigration reform legislation in the Senate depends on the extent to which Marco Rubio plays ball with the administration. From all that appears, he is a willing player. In any event, neither he nor Senators McCain and Graham have ever suggested that their cooperation depends on a budgetary deal.
Immigration reform of the kind desired by Obama faces a tougher road in the House. But in that chamber too, there is no reason to posit a linkage between the sequester and immigration reform. Obama is smart enough to understand that backing down on the sequester will not usher in an era of good feeling such that House resistance to immigration reform will crumble.
Obama reportedly has said, "I'm a better speechwriter than my speechwriters; I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors; and I'll tell you right now that I'm gonna think I'm a better political director than my political director." These claims may or may not be true. But Obama surely has a better handle on how to push his left-liberal agenda than E.J. Dionne and Mickey Kaus do.

The Secret Muggle Room was a room located on the fifth floor of Hogwarts Castle, hidden behind a television in the Muggle Studies Classroom.
The room contained a sofa, a desk, a bookshelf, and a portrait of a couple in love.
In 1991, Peeves stole a copy of the Updated Counter-Curse Handbook from the Hogwarts Library and hid it in this room, having a troll guard it. Upon being cursed with the Curse of the Bogies by Peeves, Harry Potter found this room and defeated the troll, recovering the book and curing his curse.[1]

Goals for OJB 1.1
I think "native" JDO support should be in it -- JDOSupport
out-of-the-box support for storing primitive types. -- PrimitiveTypes
Better support for all kind of Java Collections and Maps. -- CollectionsAndMaps
completing the Prevayler based PB implementation. -- PrevaylerBroker
clear separation of API and SPI parts. In the ATM we this already, having it in the other layers as well ease the maintenance process, as OJB developers we'll immediately see which parts can be changed without changing parts of the API. -- ApiSpiSeparation
full support mixing of mapping strategies. -- MixingMappingStrategies
support a real mapping of one class to multiple tables. -- OneClassMultipleTables
some restructuring would be nice ... e.g. move the reversedb stuff to it's own src dir and jar -- OJBTools
use jakarta-commons packages (e.g. logging and configuration) -- UseCommons
i'm playing with oracle spatial at the moment ... not sure if there is a way to support stuff like this .. but it would be nice -- OracleSpatial
support for McKoi and AxisDB databases -- SupportedDatabases
- conversion of the XDoclet module to XDoclet 2 -- XDoclet2
support for generics (Java 1.5) -- JavaGenerics
creation and manipulation of databases with classes and ant tasks, based on Torque and commons-sql -- DatabaseManipulation
support for the complete ODMG 3 query language (OQL) as defined in their grammar -- OQLComplete
Application Management
- support for jmx based run time management of broker management extc.
I [thma] vote for removing support for the S.O.D.A query API (http://sodaquery.sourceforge.net/docs/index.html). I think we should focus on the standards like JDO and ODMG that have found some acceptance in the market.
There are a large number of features proposed for the 1.1 release, it reads more like a wish list than feature list Why not schedule a number of releases 1.1, 1.2, 1.n, 1.n+ that deliver features based on priority??? I'm sure more users out there care about a JDO implementation than some other features especially now that JD02 is on the way. Besides its much easier to make many smaller releases than a few large ones and should improve the credibility of this fine project. --AndyHull

Amid a seven-hour ceasefire announced by Israel in Gaza, the United Nations and aid partners are restocking supplies in schools and other buildings being used as temporary shelters for the nearly 270,000 displaced people throughout the Gaza Strip.
According to its spokesperson, the UN Relief Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is using the time to resupply food, water and other "essentials of life" in the 90 UN shelters in the area. Israel said that it would allow a seven-hour "humanitarian window" starting at 10am local time.
"These people are deeply traumatized and living in fear because we have seen that even a UN safe shelter, and I hate to use the word 'safe' because it's such a misnomer… even they are being hit," Chris Gunness told UN Radio.
On Sunday, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) killed at least 10 Palestinians in shelling outside the main gate of the UNRWA Boys' Prep School 'A' in the town of Rafah, in southern Gaza. This is the third time that the immediate vicinity of an UNRWA premise has been struck in the past 10 days.
Irina Bokova, Director-General of the UN Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) today added her voice to the growing list of condemnations of the attacks, which include Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who denounced it as a "moral outrage."
"Schools in Gaza have become the symbol of an unfolding human tragedy," Ms. Bokova said in a statement. "The protection of schools cannot wait."
She equated protection of schools as essential for the protection of civilians, and a pre-condition to start getting the education system back to normal.
At least seven UNRWA schools serving as shelters have been hit resulting in multiple civilian casualties. In total, at least 137 schools have been reported damaged so far.
In May, UNESCO, along with the UN World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) launched a note to assist the people monitoring, reporting and working to prevent attacks against schools and hospitals. The Guidance Note provides practical information for the UN and its partners on how to implement aspects of Security Council resolution 1998. Adopted in 2011, the resolution gives the UN a mandate to identify and list the armed forces and groups who attack schools or hospitals, or protected persons in relation to schools and hospitals.
"Keeping schools free from any sort of military use is equally vital," Ms. Bokova said stressing that students and teachers need to feel safe in their schools.
Since the beginning of the conflict on 7 July, at least 1,777 Palestinians have been killed, about 85 per cent of them civilians, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). That figure includes 393 children and 208 women.
In addition, the UN agency reports that more than 8,000 Palestinians have been injured.
Meanwhile, at least 66 Israelis have been killed, including two civilians and 64 soldiers, as well as one foreign national in Gaza.
On Friday, the UN appealed for $369 million to meet urgent needs in Gaza. UNESCO today said that figure includes $11 million for emergency education needs to improve the safety of the education environment, as well as provide teachers and students psychosocial support.
More than 373,000 children are believed to be in need of psychosocial support, according to the latest figures from OCHA.
Also today, UNESCO condemned the deaths of media workers in Gaza and voiced deep concern over the destruction of media facilities.
"As stipulated by international agreements, journalists must be protected including when reporting from the scene," Ms. Bokova said in the second of her two statements today.
Rami Rayan, a photographer for the Palestine Network for Press and Media news agency, and Al Aqsa TV cameraman Sameh al-Arya were killed in two rounds of shelling on a market in the Shijaiyah neighbourhood of Gaza on 31 July.
Ahed Zaqout, a presenter on Palestine TV, died one day earlier when the Gaza City building where he lived was shelled.
Mohamed Daher, a journalist with the Al-Resalah newspaper, died on 31 July from injuries suffered when his home was hit in a raid eleven days earlier.
Their names will be included this year on UNESCO's dedicated webpage for journalists killed in the line of duty.

When I was about ten years old, I dreamed of being a major league baseball pitcher. I got a book on pitching as well as some instructional videos for my birthday and I spent most of a summer learning how to properly throw a baseball.
That fall, I went back to school with my classmates. Several of us were out on the baseball field adjacent to the playground during recess, playing a pick-up five on five (or so) game of baseball.
I wanted to pitch. I wanted to show off what I had learned.
The first batter I faced was one of the slowest kids in the school and I struck him out swinging on three pitches. I felt good.
The next batter hit my first pitch far enough that he was able to walk around the bases.
The batter after that hit my first pitch even farther.
I was frustrated. I handed the ball over to someone else that could pitch better than I could and I manned the outfield. I stood out there and wallowed in my self-pity for a while.
Afterwards, one of the teachers who watched us play came over and talked to me. She told me that not everyone was meant to be a pitcher but that if I loved baseball I could find other ways to play the game.
It took me several years to really accept that idea.
Now, I can fully accept that there are some things that just aren't going to work out for me. I'm not going to ever play major league baseball – that ship has sailed. I'm not ever going to be president of the United States.
That doesn't mean I can't be involved with baseball in some fashion if I wanted to. That doesn't mean I can't help with the campaign of candidates I care about.
It simply means I can't do everything that crosses my mind – and I'm content with that. At some point, you have to choose among the things that you most want.
My life constantly deals me these choices, although perhaps in a less dramatic fashion.
Let's say, for example, that I wanted to replace my desktop computer. As I've mentioned before, I play a few computer games with some old friends a few times a week. My old computer runs those games pretty slow – the animation of the games is pretty choppy at best.
Now, if I dove into a hardware replacement cycle that's more frequent than my "get a new computer every half a decade or so" cycle, then I'd be spending more money on computer hardware. That would mean I would either (a) have to earn more or (b) have to incur debt or (c) cut back on essential retirement and education savings.
Honestly, none of those options appeal to me at all. I am content with a low frame rate because I know that I have lower stress in other aspects of my life and a solid path toward my financial future.
Other people might make different choices depending on what's going on in their life.
The only thing that you really need to watch out for is when the choices you're making lead to a less content life. You might have been able to choose to go out to eat twice a week for the last five years, but if you're now facing mounting credit card debt, you need to ask yourself which option leaves you with a more content life: a credit card mountain that keeps growing or two more dinners at home each week?
For me, most financial choices come down to that. I take the path of least resistance every time. Most of the cost cutting measures I take in my life introduce far less displeasure than the worry and stress we had when our debt mountain felt insurmountable.
Do I wish I could have it all? Sure. It'd be great to have someone making me meals every single day, washing my laundry, and cleaning my home. It'd be wonderful to have every material thing I've ever imagined. However, if I lived like that for a month, I'd be under such bone-crushing debt that my life would be a nightmare.
I'm content with what I trade for financial security. I don't drive a brand new car. I don't eat out every night. I don't have every little thing that my hobbies might desire.
What I do have is relatively low stress, a lack of debt, a secure home for my family, and plenty of time to spend with them. Those are the things that I have and that I cherish and that I don't ever want to sacrifice.
I'm content with that trade.

PEMBROKE, N.C. - No. 8 Georgia College & State University baseball (30-12, 15-8 PBC) split a doubleheader at UNC Pembroke (34-14, 11-11 PBC) dropping game one 5-3 before rebounding with an 8-7 win.
Game one saw the Bobcats score runs late, getting shut out for the first five innings on just two hits. Finding themselves down 3-0 in the sixth with one out, centerfielder Sean Harrell (Martinez, Ga.) ripped his sixth home run of the season to right, a solo shot. Rightfielder Derek Johns (Waynesville, Ga.) followed with a single, and after a wild pitch and a walk, scored from second on a Buddy Elmore (Dallas) single, cutting the lead to 3-2.
A pair of UNCP singles in the bottom half extended the lead to 4-2, but Bobcat leftfielder Kyle Allen (Conyers, Ga.) trimmed it back to one at 4-3 with a solo home run to lead off the eighth. UNCP put one more across in the bottom half for the 5-3 final.
Georgia College had the tying run on first with two down in the bottom of the ninth, thanks to a pair of walks, but a flyout to right ended the game.
Pembroke starter Matt McGovern (7-0) went seven innings, allowing three earned runs for the win. Ryan Kirkman grabbed his ninth save with two innings of work. For the Bobcats, starter Dylan Lightell (Rosamond, Calif.) evened his record at 3-3 with the complete-game loss, allowing four earned runs on nine hits and fanning five.
Game two was all Bobcats early, posting a 6-0 lead after the first two trips to the plate. The big blow came in the form of a Brooks Robinson (Evans, Ga.) grand slam in the first, driving in four of the five runs for GCSU that inning. The big bomb to left was Robinson's third of the year.
A three-run fourth for UNCP, featuring a two-run home run by designated hitter Joe Mangum, cut GCSU's lead to 7-5, and the solo shot in the fifth by Pembroke first baseman Seth Kivett trimmed it to a one-run advantage.
An insurance run came in the seventh for the Bobcats, as Robinson's two-out double plated pinch runner Paul Bordon (Martinez, Ga.). With Georgia College up 8-6 going into the bottom of the ninth, UNCP loaded the bases with two out with the benefit of a single, hit-batsmen and a walk. Bobcat closer Martin Dewald (Mannheim, Germany), who issued the intentional pass to load the bases, followed that up with an unintentional pass to score a run and cut the lead to 8-7. With the tying run 90 feet away, Dewald fanned Kivett to end the game.
With the one-out save Dewald has 11 on the season, a Georgia College season record, passing Michael Newman's effort from a year ago.
Johns had back-to-back multi hit games today, going a total of 4-for-9 with two RBI and two runs. Robinson posted the big game two, going 2-for-5 with five RBI and a run.
The split combined with a sweep by USC Aiken over Lander University put the Bobcats and Pacers tied at the top of the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Standings at 15-8.
The Bobcats finish the three-game set with UNCP with a single game tomorrow at 1 p.m.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) ? Syria's U.N. ambassador is warning that extremist groups could use chemical weapons against the Syrian people and blame the government.
Bashar Ja'afari reiterated in letters, circulated Monday, to the U.N. Security Council and Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that the Syrian government is "genuinely worried" that foreign countries could provide chemical weapons to armed groups "and then claim they had been used by the Syrian government."
Although the West has shown little desire to intervene in Syria, President Barack Obama has said the regime's use of chemical weapons against the rebels would be a "red line" and change his "calculus" about a conflict.
As the prospect of intervention gains traction, the Syrian government has been careful to never actually confirm it has chemical weapons and is instead trying to raise fears it may be framed by rebels using such weapons to spur an outside attack.
Recent U.S. intelligence reports, however, showed the Syrian regime may be readying its chemical weapons and could be desperate enough to use them.
Ja'afari in his letter reiterated that "Syria will not under any circumstances use any chemical weapons that it may have."
He said instead the Syrian government is defending its people "from terrorists backed by well-known states, at the forefront of which is the United States of America." The Syrian regime and state media refer to rebels fighting to oust the government of President Bashar Assad as terrorists.
Ja'afari recalled that when U.N. monitors were in Syria, the government asked that a U.N. team visit a privately owned chlorine laboratory east of Aleppo "to inspect and secure the contents, which terrorist groups were planning to bring under their control."
U.N. monitors were unable to visit, however, because they came under fire, he said.
He expressed regret that no action has been taken to address these developments and hold rebel groups accountable.
The Syria uprising started in March 2011 as peaceful protests but quickly turned into a civil war after the government's brutal crackdown on dissent. Activists say more than 40,000 people have been killed.
On Sunday, fighter jets screamed over Damascus to bomb two areas in the southern part of the capital. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said fighter jets carried out six airstrikes in the Hajar Aswad area and the neighboring Yarmouk Palestinian camp, where the rebels have been advancing.
The U.N. secretary-general spoke to Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem on Monday morning to express concern about the escalation of violence in recent days and especially the attack on Yarmouk, U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said.

Welcome to Found Around Town, where we feature cars we find in a city where interesting ones are rare because everyone drives a Prius or rides a bicycle: Austin, Texas.
Sunday mornings are my favorite time in Austin. It's the most laid-back time of the entire week in the most laid-back city in America. Everyone's lazily going to brunch, running on the trail, coping with a hangover, or some combination of the three. Evidently, it's also when all the cool cars come out to play, too.
On one recent Sunday morning I found no less than four awesome cars to feature here on Found Around Town. All were were very unique and very different except in one way: each been cared for extremely well.
I'm starting with this Datsun 280Z 2+2 for a couple reasons. We haven't had a Japanese car on Found Around Town in quite a while; I'm a big fan of old-school Z cars; and it's timely, considering how last week we were pondering the future of Nissan's sports car line with Jay Leno.
Classic Z-Cars aren't terribly uncommon, but the good ones always stand out. This 280Z practically looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor. The paint, chrome, badges and leather interior were all in ship shape. Check out the triple gauges above the center console – the Z still has those, even today.
In his recent retro review of the 1978 Subaru GL Wagon, our own Ben Preston summed up Japanese styling from this era very well: "all of the good things American cars of the period had, but in a smaller, more tasteful package."
The same could be said of the Datsun Z, but instead of American cars, it was the Jaguar E-Type the Japanese were ripping off. You can really see that Jag influence coming through when you look at it from the side angle. The only problem with this otherwise attractive car is the horrendously ugly bumper tacked onto the front so it could meet U.S. crash standards. It's like a hot girl with headgear braces — there's something good under there, but it's a bit distracting.
The 280Z was the third and last iteration of the S30, the original Z-Car, and it ran from 1975 to 1978. The straight-six engine was upgraded to 2.8 liters from the original Z's 2.4 liters to maintain power in the face of tightening emissions requirements. Performance had dropped off with the 260Z, so with this larger engine things got a little better, according to HowStuffWorks.
The 280Z would be replaced with the more modern, more expensive but less attractive 280ZX, which also gave the world the infamous "Black Gold" ad. I'd take the 280Z, myself; I don't have the mustache for the ZX.
What's your favorite generation of Z-Car?

India will continue to assist the Afghan national security forces in whatever manner possible, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said in Afghanistan's Kandahar city where he inaugurated an Indian-supported agricultural university, a major capacity-building initiative.Addressing the inauguration that was attended by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Khurshid said India's support to the Afghanistan National Agricultural Sciences and Technology University (ANASTU) was an important activity of their bilateral strategic partnership."India will continue to assist the ANSF in whatever manner is possible within our capacities. We have always said that a peaceful, prosperous and sovereign Afghanistan that is capable of defending itself is in India's strategic interest.," he said.
With the US-led international forces draw down from Afghanistan slated to begin by the end of the year, the Afghan forces have begun to take on a larger role in the security of the country.Khurshid also lavished praise on Karzai's leadership, saying the upcoming presidential elections were a "testament to the fact that democracy has taken firm roots in this country". "It is also a testament to your extraordinary and brave leadership over the last 12 years, and the manner in which you have nurtured the plant of democracy in this country," he said.Stressing that the main threat to Afghanistan's security and its internal stability is terrorism and extremism that continues to target the country's people, Khurshid said India has also been facing the threat for many years.
He also reassured that India would always be with Afghanistan in its battle against terrorism and extremism.
Khurshid said India supports Karzai's efforts to establish a "genuine Afghan-owned, Afghan-led and Afghan-controlled reconciliation process in Afghanistan to offer a chance to members of armed opposition groups willing to give up terror and abide by the Afghan Constitution, the possibility of participating as equal citizens in Afghanistan's national life"."It is only the brave and the strong who can offer peace to adversaries. We support your brave efforts," said the Indian external affairs minister.He said for India, a strong, prosperous and economically independent Afghanistan is a strategic priority and a key element of their strategic partnership agreement and termed the university as the beginning of a very important cooperation venture between the two countries.The ANASTU is the first agriculture university in the country, and comes up in Kandahar, the agricultural and political hub for southern Afghanistan.Karzai was accompanied by several of his cabinet members, including Agriculture Minister Mohammad Asif Rahimi.He said the university was the beginning of a very important cooperation venture between our two countries, according to Tolo News.

Pack a Lunch That's Sure to Please Your Kid
Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but lunch is a close second. The contents of your child's lunchbox will ensure a steady stream of nutrients flowing to the brain, keep blood sugar levels on keel, and instill lifelong healthy-eating habits.
The rules of thumb: aim for a balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, and keep sugar, salt, and saturated fat to a minimum. Go for visual appeal with a variety of colors, shapes, and textures.
Protein packs punch
Sandwiches fuse the all-important trio of protein, carbohydrate, and fats.
- Test out these combinations: nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower) and fruit-only jam, egg salad, tuna salad, tomato and cheese, cream cheese and apple butter, and turkey and Swiss cheese.
- Or, go à la carte with yogurt, canned salmon, hardboiled eggs, soy jerky, cheese slices or string cheese, baked tofu cubes, bean and cheese mini-burritos, soy beans (edamame), mixed nuts, and energy bars.
Complex carbs—Don't leave home without them
Don't shy away from complex carbohydrates. Kids' rapidly growing brains and bodies need the fuel.
- Look for snacks made with whole grains. Sesame and wild rice sticks, breadsticks, pretzels, corn chips, cereals, and crackers are good choices.
- The USDA Food Guide Pyramid recommends five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Sneak in a couple at lunchtime: pick fresh fruit that travels well, such as apples, pears, oranges, bananas, pineapple, seasonal berries, plums, peaches, and grapes. Vegetables are a tougher sell for finicky palates. Pack sliced carrots, celery, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, or broccoli along with a zesty hummus dip or ranch dressing.
- Dried fruit is a treasure trove of fiber, iron, and trace minerals. Reach beyond raisins—try dates, apricots, cherries, bananas, papaya, and mango.
Just desserts
Treats that satisfy the sweet tooth while achieving your nutritional goals abound. Try one of these:
- Graham or animal crackers (preferably made with whole wheat flour), fruit leathers, fig bars, granola bars, pudding, or a piece of chocolate.
- Fruit salad with a dash of yogurt and cinnamon, or applesauce sprinkled with raisins.
- What to drink? Keep high-sugar fruit juices to a minimum or dilute them with water. Opt for water or protein- and calcium-rich soy milk or cow's milk.
Think small
Some children are overwhelmed by large amounts of food, so make servings small and simple.
- Cut sandwiches into easy-to-eat quarters.
- Buy in bulk and transfer foods to reusable one-serving containers.
- Cut fruit and vegetables into slices or small hunks.
- Purchase mini-carrots, small tortillas, and kid-size crackers and snacks.
Think creatively
Be inventive. Play with your food. Your kids will catch on that eating can be fun.
- Dust off your cookie cutters and make fun shapes in slices of cheese, bread, or apple.
- Spice it up! Try a dash of cinnamon in applesauce, or lemon pepper on a turkey sandwich.
- Introduce new flavors. Nori, a type of seaweed, makes a salty, crunchy snack. Sweet potato or taro chips can be an exotic, yet healthful, change as well.
- Think themes. Combine a bean and cheese mini-burrito, tortilla chips, and a mini-container of salsa. For the adventuresome palate, try a few pieces of sushi (the cooked variety), soybeans, and rice crackers.
- Switch out sandwich bread with an English muffin, tortilla, bagel, rice cakes, flatbread, or pita bread.
Make lunchtime a memorable affair for your kids with a little forethought, a dash of imagination, and a sprinkle of variety. Bon appétit.

Product Description
modulator designed specifically for digital flat panel
interference (EMI) at the clock source, allowing system
wide reduction of EMI of down stream clock and data
dependent signals. The P2040A allows significant system
cost savings by reducing the number of circuit board
layers ferrite beads, shielding and other passive
components that are traditionally required to pass EMI
The P2040A uses the most efficient and optimized
modulation profile approved by the FCC and is
implemented in a proprietary all digital method.
The P2040A modulates the output of a single PLL in
order to "spread" the bandwidth of a synthesized clock,
and more importantly, decreases the peak amplitudes of
its harmonics. This results in significantly lower system
EMI compared to the typical narrow band signal produced
by oscillators and most frequency generators. Lowering
EMI by increasing a signal's bandwidth is called `spread
spectrum clock generation'.
