Who Are Those Guys #6 (Gals Edition)
September 30, 2012
Time for more crowd-sourcing while I attend to other matters. This one's a long shot, but let's give it a try.
A few weeks ago I wrote about the live Studio One broadcast "The Traveling Lady." Like many live TV shows, this one has no end credits. When a live show ran long, the credits were, naturally, the first thing to be clipped for time. (Conversely, if you see a kinescope where the credit roll drags on for four minutes, you know that something went wrong and the cast and crew were frantically stretching to fill the time slot.) This represents a huge historical loss, since few contemporary reviews or archived press releases seem to preserve any of the missing data.
So, for "The Traveling Lady," we have only the opening credits, which are stingy. They dole out writer (Horton Foote), producer (Herbert Brodkin), director (Robert Mulligan), and only five actors: Kim Stanley, Steven Hill, Robert Loggia, Doreen Lang, and "special guest star" Mildred Dunnock. No technical crew, and no supporting cast.
Left out were a few actors with sizable roles. The most recognizable of which, the kindly-looking gentleman above, played the town judge in the first scene. That's Fred Stewart, a New York-based stage actor probably best remembered as Natalie Wood's father in Splendor in the Grass (1961).
Also omitted are the child actor who played Stanley's daughter – a large and very professional performance (children on live television: a disaster waiting to happen!) – and the two town busybodies pictured below. "Miss Tillman" is on the left (the mother of Lang's character), and "Sitter Mavis" on the right (the daughter of Dunnock's character). (You can tell from the characters' names the extent to which Foote was under the influence of Tennessee Williams at this stage!)
The Internet Movie Database identifies one Wendy Hillier (no, not Wendy Hiller!) as the child, "Margaret Rose," and one Ann Hennessey as "Sitter Mavis." Hennessey has a number of Broadway and Off-Broadway credits up through the mid-sixties, and then seems to disappear. I can't find any biographical information about her, nor an obituary or even a photo or film clip that would confirm that this is her in "The Traveling Lady."
As for "Miss Tillman," the IMDb doesn't have a guess as to her identity. The role was played on Broadway, in 1954, by Kathleen Comegys, an actress who had small roles in a number of live TV shows from this period, and in Arthur Penn's The Miracle Worker (1962). Even though the Studio One broadcast of "The Traveling Lady" did not carry over any of the rest of the Broadway cast, there is a resemblance, and I wonder if this might be her.
Can anyone out there confirm or refute any of these guesses? (And yes, I'm characterizing the IMDb info as guesswork until I know the source.)

White House: Gun violence is complex problem
The White House says curbing gun violence is a complex problem that will require a "comprehensive solution" including addressing gun control measures.
Still, spokesman Jay Carney says gun control is not the only solution to stopping shootings like the horrific attack at a Connecticut elementary school Friday. He says no single piece of legislation or single action will fully address the problem.
Obama has said he is going to use the "power" of his office to tackle gun violence. Carney says the president will engage the American people and lawmakers on this issue in the coming weeks, as well as meet with law enforcement officials and mental health professionals.
Carney did not offer any specific policy proposals or timeline for tackling gun violence.

Libretto: Marie Červinková-Riegrová
Musical preparation: Tomáš Netopil
Conductor: David Švec, Jan Chalupecký
Stage director: Jiří Heřman
Sets: Pavel Svoboda
Costumes: Alexandra Grusková

Ballet of the National Theatre Opera
Kühn Children's Choir
Premiere: October 8 and 9, 2011
Dvořák's The Jacobin is one of the most popular and most frequently performed Czech operas. To date, the National Theatre has staged twelve productions, most recently in 1993. The story, depicting life in a small Czech town on the one hand and the return of a "suspicious" émigré to his homeland on the other, is often understood in a somewhat simplistic, hyperbolic manner. Yet it is rather borne – primarily owing to Dvořák's musical genius – in an ambiguous atmosphere of melancholy, sentiment, humorous bird's-eye view and self-irony. As in many other similarly tuned Czech dramatic works, here too all the accumulated and pointed conflicts end up in humble, conciliatory and amicable lesson-learning.
At the end of the 18th century, Bohuš, a count's son, who at one time was hounded out by his father owing to his liberalism returns to an idealised Czech town. Yet before he is allowed to reconcile with his father, he and his wife have to experience a slew of provincial intrigues which the locals direct both at themselves and – because of his being suspected of "Jacobinism" – against Bohuš and his wife. We encounter a number of stock and popular dramatic types – the happily amorous Jiří and Terinka, between whom the big-headed burgrave Filip wants to drive a wedge, the count's power-hungry nephew Adolf, as well as the good-natured teacher Benda. A crucial role in the story is played by the traditionally lauded Czech musicality; the Czechs' affectionate relationship to music, whose ardency and tenderness is able to soften even the most hardened of hearts. The scene at the school during which the teacher Benda is preparing with the children a festive cantata in honour of the new master is one of the most remarkable in Czech opera.

The opera is staged in Czech original version and Czech and English surtitles are used in the performance.
Duration of the performance: 3 hours, 2 intermissions

Jim Hillibish: First taste of spring
If Mother Nature cooperates, we'll have green onions in our gardens soon — that is if the winter loosens its grip. Then come those morsels of peppery spring sweetness, the radishes.
These guys give us first tastes of spring. Early onions always are the sweetest of the season without the peppery hint of summer ones. Radishes, red and icicle, garnish many a salad. Ever had them braised? If not, you're missing something.
Both are root crops, consumed throughout the world, and add a tang to whatever they touch. They are best early in the season grown in cool ground. Both turn hot and bolt to seed in the heat of summer.
Recipes call for winter, bunching, scallions or Welsh onions. They are all the same family — green onions. They will be in good supply in groceries at low prices due to the harvest.
The 35 varieties of radishes are of Greek origin, often marinated in olive oil and balsamic vinegar and served as a side dish to seafood.
Many of our mothers had both wrong. They blamed the green part of the onions for gas and indigestion, so they cut it off and used only the white tip. The green causes no more problems than the white and is a good source of vitamins and that mild onion flavor so many of us crave.
Radishes caught similar digestive accusations, all undeserved.
We face competition for these first crops. Green onions and radishes are common to the cuisine of more than 35 countries, from fresh in salads to roasted on the grill. Many Asian dishes call for them.
• 2 cups potatoes, cooled, peeled, diced
• 1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
• 2 cups green onions, tops included, chopped
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 2 t light soy sauce
• 2 T fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 t sugar
• 1 t paprika
• Dash cayenne pepper
• 1 t dill weed
• Salt to taste
Sauté vegetables in olive oil until soft. Add seasonings and broth and blend until smooth. Simmer 20 minutes or until the flavors meld. Serve with Parmesan croutons or garnish with a dollop of whipped cream.
Serves 3 to 4 as an appetizer.
• 2 bunches radishes, any variety
• 1 T butter
• 2/3 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 T white vinegar
• 2 t sugar
• Salt to taste
Rinse radishes and remove stems and roots. Trim and slice crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick rounds. Stem and wash leaves and finely chop to 2 tablespoons.
Melt butter, add radishes and sauté, stirring, until they begin to soften, 5 minutes. Add the broth. Cover and simmer until the radishes are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat to high, and add the vinegar, sugar and a dash of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced to a glaze, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with chopped leaves and serve.

Did Savannah Guthrie Flip Off Matt Lauer on Today?
It is just not Matt Lauer's week.
After days of getting bashed in the press - including talk of having Anderson Cooper replace him - the Today show anchor got an icy reception from co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. Or did he?
During a vacuum segment on Friday's live broadcast, Lauer joked that it was Guthrie's first time using the cleaning appliance. Guthrie, 41, scoffed and made an angry face as she held up what appeared to be her left middle finger to Lauer's back. However Guthrie quickly got wind of the "Fingergate" speculation online and clarified the gesture. "Folks!! That was my INDEX finger! Photo evidence proving my innocence coming," she tweeted. Soon after, she posted a screen grab for "all the doubters" indeed showing it was her index finger.
The biggest celebrity cheating scandals
Lauer, 55, seemed to take the misunderstanding in stride and teased Guthrie online by tweeting a photo of him "storming out" of the Today show after her "middle finger salute."
Looks like Al Roker better watch his next move.
Do you think Guthrie really flipped Lauer off?

Roasted vegetable antipasto with lemon-caper sauce
Makes about 8 servings
This stunning presentation of glistening vegetables is great on the buffet. Immediately after roasting, arrange the hot vegetables on a platter. Add olives and jarred marinated artichoke hearts, if you like. Serve the sauce in a bowl on the side, a basket of sliced French bread, and provide plates and forks. Or, if you prefer, serve the vegetables as a lovely side dish for one of your holiday meals.
For the vegetables
¼ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Pinch of salt
8 trimmed medium-thick asparagus spears
½ eggplant, peeled and cut into ½-inch-thick wedges
2 portobello mushrooms, cut into ½-inch-wide strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch-wide lengthwise strips
1 zucchini, halved horizontally, each half cut into ½-inch-thick wedges
½ red onion, cut into ½-inch-thick wedges
For the sauce
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced shallot
1 teaspoon capers, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
Salt to taste
Coarsely crumbled feta or shredded Parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts, and sprigs of fresh basil for garnishing the vegetables.
To prepare the vegetables, preheat the oven to 425° F. Line a large jelly roll pan with aluminum foil.
Stir together the oil, garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme, pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Add the vegetables and toss until coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared pan. Bake, turning the vegetables occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until crisp-tender and lightly browned.
To make the sauce, while the vegetables are roasting, stir together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature. Serve the room temperature sauce in a bowl on the side; provide a small spoon for drizzling over individual servings of vegetables.
Advance preparation
The sauce will keep for up to 2 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. The vegetables can be roasted up to 1 day in advance; cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Calif. gay conversion therapists win first round in court
A US District Court Judge made a decision just hours after a hearing on the issue, ruling that First Amendment rights of therapists outweigh concerns about danger to young people of gay conversion therapy.
A federal judge has temporarily blocked California from enforcing a first-of-its-kind law that bars licensed psychotherapists from working to change the sexual orientation of gay minors, but he limited the scope of his order to just the three providers who have appealed to him to overturn the measure.
U.S. District Court Judge William Shubb made a decision on Monday just hours after a hearing on the issue, ruling that the First Amendment rights of psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health professionals who engage in "reparative" or "conversion" therapy outweigh concern that the practice poses a danger to young people. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and other basic rights.
"Even if SB 1172 is characterized as primarily aimed at regulating conduct, it also extends to forms of (conversion therapy) that utilize speech and, at a minimum, regulates conduct that has an incidental effect on speech," Shubb wrote.
The judge also disputed the California Legislature's finding that trying to change young people's sexual orientation puts them at risk for suicide or depression, saying it was based on "questionable and scientifically incomplete studies."
The law, which was passed by the state Legislature and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in October, states that therapists and counselors who use "sexual orientation change efforts" on clients under 18 would be engaging in unprofessional conduct and subject to discipline by state licensing boards. It is set to take effect on Jan. 1.
Although the ruling is a setback for the law's supporters, the judge softened the impact of his decision by saying that it applies only to three people — psychiatrist Anthony Duk, marriage and family therapist Donald Welch, and Aaron Bitzer, a former patient who is studying to become a counselor who specializes in clients who are unhappy being gay.
The exemption for them will remain in place only until Shubb can hold a trial on the merits of their case, although in granting their request for an injunction, the judge noted he thinks they would prevail in getting the law struck down on constitutional grounds.
Bitzer, Duk and Welch were represented by the Pacific Justice Institute, a Christian legal group. President Brad Dacus said he thought Shubb's ruling would have a chilling effect that would keep the licensing boards that regulate mental health professionals from targeting other practitioners.
"If there are any, we can easily add them to the case as a plaintiff," Dacus said. "We know we will have to have another hearing on the merits, but to be able to get a preliminary injunction at this stage is very telling as to the final outcome, and I'm very encouraged by it."
Complicating the outlook for the law is that another federal judge in Sacramento is considering similar arguments from four more counselors, two families and a professional association of Christian counselors, but has not decided yet whether to keep the ban from taking effect.
"We are disappointed by the ruling, but very pleased that the temporary delay in implementing this important law applies only to the three plaintiffs who brought this lawsuit," National Center for Lesbian Rights Legal Director Shannon Minter said. "We are confident that as the case progresses, it will be clear to the court that this law is fundamentally no different than many other laws that regulate health care professionals to protect patients."
Lawyers for the state argue that outlawing reparative therapy is appropriate because it would protect young people from a practice that has been rejected as unproven and potentially harmful by all the mainstream mental health associations.

It's Vegan MoFo Day IX already! I am so impressed by all the amazing recipes and formidable camaraderie taking over the blogosphere. One thing I've been particularly enjoying is discovering so many new blogs and bloggers! Don't forget to visit the Vegan MoFo Blogroll and spread the love!
Now for the cookies!
These are really like big thumb print cookies, but bigger is better, right? As far as cookies go, I'm thinking yes!
These are a healthier peanut butter cookie baked with a big 'ole slob of ganache in the middle – what could be better? These make a lot, like 3 dozen, so get ready to share!
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
3 to 3.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour (milling is very different here, so start with 1 cup and add more as needed.)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
generous pinch salt
1/2 cup brown sugar (plus a little extra for rolling)
1/2 white sugar
2 tbsp canola oil (this might not be necessary, depending on your peanut butter)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cups natural peanut butter (chunky is fine)
3/4 cups non-dairy milk
1/4 water
about 1/2 cup ganache
A quick note about the ganache. If you use the recipe here you'll end up with just enough left for making some Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (recipe coming soon!), but please use any kind your little heart desires, ok?
Like two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Stir the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until just mixed (too much mixing makes for gummy cookies). This is a thickish/dryish dough, so if yours is too liquid to handle, add a little more flour until the right consistency is reached.
Now for the fun part – roll the dough into balls, a bit bigger than a walnut. (Like two walnuts?) Roll it in the brown sugar (this is optional), then place it on the baking sheet. Flatten it a little, then move on to the next one. When all the dough has been rolled, you'll need to make little holes in each cookie – the easiest way is just to wet your index and poke a hole. Like so:
Now put them in the fridge for about 45 minutes to an hour. While they are chilling, you can make your ganache, have a cup of tea and read a few blogs. When that's done, you'll need to fill them with chocolate. My method is to use one of Guppy's old aspirin plungers, but you could use a spoon or whatever. Before you start, pre-heat your oven to 165°c/325°f, then get to work!
Now it's time to bake! They'll bake for about 20 minutes, depending on how thick/flat they are. When they're done, leave them to cool on the baking sheets, that way, they'll brown a little more on the bottoms without burning the chocolate.

New beers to look out for
There are a few new beers that will be hitting shelves soon that you may want to keep an eye out for.
Bear Republic Brewing Company of California has announced that Cafe Racer 15, will be available in bottles this summer in several states, including Massachusetts.
Cafe Racer 15 is a double IPA, which took a silver medal at the 2012 Great American Beer Festival.
The Cafe Racer 15 is brewed with Citra, Amarillo, Cascade and Chinook hops, and comes in at 9.75 alcohol by volume and more than 100 IBUs.
Another beer to look for is the brand new Hop of the World White IPA by Slumbrew.
This 8 percent ABV white IPA is brewed with peach puree. I'm not a huge fan of white IPAs in general, but the addition of peach puree has me intrigued. I look forward to giving it a try.
Also, the City Steam Brewery Cafe, a brewpub from Connecticut, has released several of its bottled beers in Massachusetts, including the Blonde on Blonde and the Naughty Nurse.
I have the bottles at home and I will try them in the next couple of nights (who am I kidding, I'll probably have them tonight) and I'll let you know how they all are.

When the lights went off at the Super Bowl during the big game's infamous power outage, not everything went offline.
The stadium-wide Wi-Fi network kept working—or at least it did in some areas and for part of the outage. But it was a very old-school technology—a landline phone—that saved the day for Andrew Stern, a broadcast engineer for a San Francisco radio station.
After coming home from New Orleans, Stern gave me a rundown on how the Super Bowl's technology held up. Was the Wi-Fi network as good as promised? Answer: yes. Did the 35-minute power outage cause problems? Answer: yes—but Stern and team found a way to manage.
The outage set off a "mad scramble" in the press box, Stern said: "It wasn't just the lights—it was everything. I mean everything. There were folks stuck in elevators. The broadcast booth—everybody and everything lost power."
Stern was exaggerating a bit. Amazingly, "the Wi-Fi did not go out," he said. "The telephone circuits did not go out. The network did not go out. It's my working assumption that the network switches were powered off some kind of UPS (uninterruptable power supply) system and the access points are POE (power over Ethernet)." The CBS broadcast stayed up, too—after the game, Stern noticed that "every single TV truck had its own UPS to keep it powered up."
Testing the media's Wi-Fi network on his iPhone 5, Stern consistently got more than 20Mbps down and 40Mbps up, specifically 23 down and 44 up during the game, 28 down and 44 up afterward.
That's impressive enough, but what was really important was a landline. Stern and team's broadcast gear lost power, but the announcer was able to quickly get back on the air with an old-school phone. "We dialed the station to have them take the call and put it on the air," Stern said. The station's announcer "literally hopped on the phone for about a half hour to fill time before the game was resumed."
It was one of those reminders that for all the usefulness of smartphones and wireless Internet access, sometimes the most traditional technology is the best in an emergency. Perhaps the radio crew could have used a cell phone when its standard broadcast equipment lost power, but the call quality on a landline is often better. And the reliability is top-notch, as landlines pull power through phone lines and can work during emergencies.
"Telephone switch rooms are government-mandated that they have banks of batteries to run phone systems for 911 service in case of an emergency," Stern said. "150-year-old POTS (plain old telephone service), regular phone service will keep running during an emergency. This is something that hasn't been figured out by VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)."
About that Wi-Fi network
Since we reported the Super Bowl's plan to provide Wi-Fi to up to 30,000 simultaneous users, we've been trying to get a post-game rundown of exactly what kind of usage the network got—and how it performed during the outage. We haven't been able to get any official word from the Superdome and network provider Verizon Wireless yet, but we have some clues.
As noted, Stern found the Wi-Fi performance excellent, even during the outage. However, he was in the press box, so perhaps it was different elsewhere.
Steve Jenson, an ex-Twitter engineer, said he sat in section 116 during the Super Bowl, near the 20-yard-line. "Wi-fi worked for the first 10 minutes or so of the power outage but then went down. I don't remember it coming back online until after the lights came back on fully," Jenson told us. There was also about 10 minutes during the power outage when he couldn't get on the Verizon cellular network, but for the rest of the game it worked fine. It's possible the cellular got congested during that outage with people having more time to use their cellular devices. Additionally, if Wi-Fi was spotty during the outage, the positive impacts Wi-Fi has in offloading traffic from the cellular network would have been lost.
When not watching the game, Jenson said he used the Wi-Fi network to upload photos and view photos on Twitter. He didn't try to access any streaming video, but he said he was "really impressed with the Wi-Fi speed overall." Jenson accessed the network from an iPhone 4S, which can only get on the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band and not the less-crowded 5GHz band. If his experience was typical, we can assume the network worked well for people regardless of which Wi-Fi bands their devices support.
Another Super Bowl attendee told us on Twitter that the Wi-Fi "worked well in the tunnel/maze on the way in, but was sporadic at best during the game."
Stern mostly used the media Wi-Fi network. Even though the goal was Wi-Fi for everyone, the Superdome might have provided more bandwidth to media members who were working in a dense environment, filing stories, and uploading videos and photos (granted, much of that might have happened over wired connections). Stern did test out the general-access Wi-Fi network used by fans at one point and said it worked just fine, allowing him to use Twitter, Facebook, Internet, and e-mail. "I hopped onto it and it sped right along," he said.
Since we know the Wi-Fi network was at least partially online during the outage, how did that happen? Well, the Superdome and Verizon Wireless haven't told us, but we can make a guess.
All the network gear was made by Cisco. While the wireless access points—all 700 of them—were not battery-powered, a Cisco spokesperson told Ars today that they "draw their power from the switch. So as long as the switch(es) are drawing/have power, the AP's will have power." The network relied upon two Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches, so as long as those had some sort of backup power supply, that could explain the Wi-Fi network's resilience during the outage. The power supply modules for the Nexus 7000 switches support "environments with unreliable AC power, with battery backup capability," a Cisco data sheet notes.
(One commenter points out that the access points were likely plugged into additional Power over Ethernet switches distributed throughout the building, meaning the Superdome would have needed a large number of backup power supplies to cover all the switches.)
(Mostly) smooth sailing on game day
As we reported before the Super Bowl, the NFL tightly controlled what devices were allowed into the stadium to prevent interference with the Wi-Fi network. Stern experienced the security firsthand.
Scanning of equipment that came into the stadium happened with the help of the Society of Broadcast Engineers. "They weren't doing any testing on phones or pads or laptops," Stern said. "They were doing frequency coordination with anything that was broadcast gear or any kind of two-way radio, anything that has an antenna on it and looked obvious, or any piece of broadcast gear."
Antennas approved for use got a little sticker denoting they had been cleared:
The only major wireless trouble Stern ran into was in the days leading up to the Super Bowl, in which media outlets were jammed into the nearby conference center.
"There were 150 radio stations there," Stern said. "Every single radio station sets up its own access point and has five or six things connected to it. We're talking a small, dense space and it was right next to the writers wing too, where all the writers were doing their work. It was a dense network and it fell apart."
iOS devices became unresponsive because of the congestion, he said. But on game day, in the Superdome, it was a completely different story.
"All I know is that in the stadium with tens and tens of thousands of people, the system held up great," Stern said. "Whatever they did, they did an amazing job."

Sports update: Ex-NFL safety Darren Sharper surrenders in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES — Former NFL All-Pro safety Darren Sharper surrendered to Los Angeles police after being named in a warrant involving a rape case in New Orleans.
Sharper, 38, also is under investigation in sexual assault cases in Florida, Nevada and Arizona and has pleaded not guilty to rape charges in Los Angeles.
In a bail motion filed in the California case, Los Angeles County Investigator John Maccharella described a pattern in which the former football star met women at clubs or parties and lured them to a hotel room, where they were allegedly drugged and raped.
Lawyers for Sharper, who played in the NFL from 1997 to 2010 primarily with the Green Bay Packers, have said they would prove that any sexual contact Sharper engaged in was welcomed.
The motion says the incidents happened in the past five months, with two occurring within a day in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Maccharella said he was told a woman went to a New Orleans bar with Sharper, consumed an alcoholic beverage provided by him and blacked out. She awoke the next morning while being sexually assaulted, the bail motion stated, noting that an exam later showed Sharper's DNA was present.
Another man facing rape charges in the New Orleans case turned himself in to police there on Friday.
Erik Nunez, 26, was booked on two counts of aggravated rape stemming from alleged assaults last September in New Orleans, police said.
Police issued warrants on Thursday for Sharper and Nunez. They face charges in the alleged rape of two women at the same location Sept. 23, police spokeswoman Remi Braden said.
Sharper's New Orleans-based attorney, Nandi Campbell, and attorney Leonard B. Levine, who represents Sharper in the California case, did not return telephone calls seeking comment.
Braden said she did not know whether Nunez had an attorney.
The assault investigation in New Orleans is ongoing and additional arrests are possible, Braden said.
If convicted in the California case, Sharper could face more than 30 years in state prison. If convicted of aggravated rape in Louisiana, both Sharper and Nunez could face life imprisonment.

Today in the news: Troops in Mali 'winning'
News to know
The French Defense Ministry has announced that French and Malian troops have taken control of the cities of TImbuktu and Gao, and the land in between the two Malian cities, according to CNN. The area was a stronghold for Islamic extremist troops for almost a year. The Islamist group still controls some areas in northern Mali.
French President Francois Hollande said yesterday, "We are winning in Mali," after troops were greeted by celebration in freed areas over the weekend. Under extremist rule, Malians were banned from listening to music, drinking, smoking and watching sports. The mayor of Gao, who had been exiled, was reinstated.
France has over 2000 soldiers on Malian soil, with another thousand aiding from other countries. The U.S. had already been providing intelligence and airlift support, and has recently begun aerial refueling missions in support of French and Malian troops.
Quote of note
"The good news is that, for the first time in many years, Republicans and Democrats seem ready to tackle this problem together. It looks like there's a genuine desire to get this done soon. And that's very encouraging." - President Barack Obama, in a pre-released excerpt from his talks in Las Vegas on immigration reform.

Mike Nadel: Bears, baseball and blogs
CHICAGO - It's late July, time for Bears training camp and lots of baseball. I wrote about both subjects extensively this past week in my blog, The Baldest Truth.
Here are some excerpts. Read more at www.thebaldesttruth.com.
Receiving Love
Bears fans are flocking to Bourbonnais in huge numbers, and the one guy they seem to love the most: Devin Hester.
And what's not to love?
While returning an NFL-record six kicks for touchdowns last season (and another in the Super Bowl), he was the most exciting rookie athlete to hit Chicago since Michael Jordan. And now, coach Lovie Smith wisely has turned Hester over to offensive coordinator Ron Turner, who so far in training camp is having fun getting the ultra-quick kid.
Hester is lining up in the slot and catching slant passes. He's lining up wide and beating defensive backs deep. He's running reverses. Can Hester pass the football? I'm guessing Turner will find out before the Bears break camp.
Meanwhile, every time Devin touches the football, the fans go wild. During Saturday night's practice at Ward Field on the Olivet Nazarene campus, Hester actually made a grab while sitting on his keister after slipping. The ensuing ovation was so loud one would have thought he had ridden Evel Knievel's motorcycle through a ring of fire. The previous day, he caught a short pass and then juked out safety Mike Brown, who could only shrug and shake his head. That drew cheers and laughter from the crowd.
Don't worry, folks. Hester is still fielding lots of punts and kickoffs. He knows where his bread is buttered. So does Lovie Smith.
Bruised Crew
And playing the part of the classic Cubbie chokers of yore ... the gagging Milwaukee Brewers of 2007!
First, they blew a 6-0 lead in losing the opener of a Saturday double-header in St. Louis. Then, they lost the nightcap to a pitcher who entered the game with an 0-10 record. Finally, the Brewers frittered away a 5-0 lead Sunday at Busch Stadium.
Ace Ben Sheets is hurt, once-perfect closer Francisco Cordero is falling apart and the Brewers must be wondering how they'll lose next.
Division title? Please. If the Brewers finish the season with a winning record, it will be an upset.
A Bear's Bloomers
While jumping rope along with the rest of the Bears' quarterbacks, Brian Griese's shorts fell down to his ankles.
You know, I don't think that's what people mean when they say fans can't get enough of the backup QB.
Change of Heart
"I've played my last snap for them," Lance Briggs said of the Bears a few months ago. "I'll never play another down for Chicago again."
Never arrived Wednesday, I guess. That's when Briggs re-signed with the Bears.
Obviously, Briggs and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, realized the money they'd be sacrificing with a holdout never would have been recouped. And they realized that $7.2 million for one season is not exactly chump change.
So congratulations to Briggs for getting rich and smart on the same day, to the Bears for standing their ground and to Bears fans because they again will have a fun team to watch in 2007.
The Bald List
Five things Lance Briggs considered telling the media Sunday before he decided not to talk:
1. "Seven-point-two million? How am I supposed to feed Latrell Sprewell's family on that?"
2. "When I said I'd never play for the Bears again, I misquoted myself."
3. "The fix was in. I mean, how else could Urlacher have had more tackles than me last season?"
4. "When I have kids, I'll happily let Uncle Tank baby-sit them."
5. "I love Chicago! Until I leave it forever!"
Well-Earned Fame
A big congratulations to Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr., who on Sunday were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
It would be difficult to find two classier, harder working, more humble gentlemen in all of sports. They represented our national pastime with pride and passion, and I am honored that I got to cover many games they played.
And a big thank you to the baseball gods for smiling down on fans everywhere Sunday, as Barry Bonds failed to tie Hank Aaron's HR record. The last thing we needed was for Mr. Bulky to steal the show from true baseball heroes.
"I'm a big believer in when you sign your name on the dotted line, it's more than just playing the game. There's a responsibility when you put that uniform on to those people who pay to watch you play. You've got to make good decisions and show people how things are supposed to be done." - Tony Gwynn.
"Games were and are important but people, and how you impact them, are most important. Whether you like it or not, as big-leaguers, we are role models. The only question is, will it be positive or will it be negative?" - Cal Ripken Jr.
"If we do about four snaps, that's more than we did a year ago. So it's safe to say there will be more shotgun formation." - Ron Turner.

Dancing with the Stars: What "Mortified" Diana Nyad in Week 1?
Long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad made headlines last year when she became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the assistance of a shark cage. But, she says, preparing to dance a minute-long foxtrot on the Season 18 premiere of Dancing with the Stars last Monday was just as daunting as gearing up for her multi-day open water feat.
"When I would stand on that shore over in Cuba and look out at the horizon, I knew that what was in front of me was going to be at least two, probably more like two-and-a-half nonstop days in the open ocean, with all kinds of obstacles," Nyad, 64, tells TVGuide.com. "And [Monday], as I stood holding [partner Henry Byalikov's] hands, I was thinking, 'You have one minute and six seconds for this foxtrot.' It's just an absurdly different kind of challenge."
Nyad and Byalikov ended up with an 18 from the judges after their routine, which puts them in second-to-last place heading into Week 2. Though Nyad says she felt OK about the dance itself, there was one aspect of the performance that left her "mortified." Check out our interview with Nyad to find out what frustrated her to the point of tears, as well as what she and Henry are working on for this week's cha-cha.
Dancing with the Stars: 9 changes to expect from Season 18
Week 1 is out of the way! Is the pressure off a little bit? How did you feel about your performance on Monday?
Diana Nyad: Oh my gosh. It is. All I cared about Monday night, honestly? Didn't care about the judges scores, didn't care about anything. I wanted to make Henry proud of me. And he said that was the best I ever did it. So, clearly other people can do a better foxtrot, but I did the best one I could do that night. And, you know, what more can I ask of myself, really? ... But that dress didn't do me any favors.
You didn't like the dress?
Nyad: I don't want to be vain. Look at me, I come out of the ocean after 53 hours of swimming. Do you think I care what I look like? ... But on this show, it's different. There is glamour to it. ... When we were fitting it, I said, "My God, I look so fat and matronly in this thing. This is not me at all." As I said, I don't have those dancers' bodies, for sure, but I've got a pretty damn good body and I was mortified in that dress. I've never felt like the girl over on the side who doesn't belong, and I actually did feel like that a little bit that night. Not on the dance floor with Henry. I decided to go for it. But other times. I've never felt like that ever. So I've gotten together with the wardrobe department and said, "If I get a chance to go another couple of dances or more, don't ever let that happen to me again."
Do you think it had an impact on your performance?
Nyad: I woke up in tears Monday night after the performance. I went home and I felt like I did Henry proud, I did myself proud. And I went to bed and woke up at 3:00 in the morning crying, because I'm proud of this body. I created it. I'm strong, and I represent those 64-year-olds out there who are young for their age, and I am young for my age. I don't compare myself to the young, crazy sexy ones, but I've got a great body and that dress didn't do me any favors. And I'm honestly upset about it and angry about it, because it's part of the show. It's part of the presentation.
Are you going to have more input on what you wear this week?
Nyad: Yesterday I met with the designer, and I said, I'm not going to go out there like these professional dancers or like Meryl Davis. I'm not a tiny little whiff of a thing, to show skin all over the place. But this is going to be a cha-cha, sexy dress. ...They're going to try to make me that and I'm going to try to squeeze into it and feel more confident when I get out there.
March Madness: The best angry coach faces
You mentioned during rehearsals that the dancing shoes were giving you a bit of trouble, but you seemed to adjust to them pretty well by Monday night. How's it going this week?
Nyad: We did the first cha-cha [rehearsal] going through the choreography with sneakers. And I mean, I'm not telling you I dance like Cheryl Burke with sneakers, but I'd say I'm at least 50 percent better than I can be in heels with flats and sneakers, where I can be grounded. I don't think you can get used to being two and three inches up in the air and poised on a little point on the back of a shoe if never in your life you've worn them. I'm not saying, 'Oh gosh, I wish I could wear sneakers doing the foxtrot.' I'm not. I want to look right and I want to try to pull it off. But I have to say, I'm not good on heels.
This is Henry's first year as a pro. How has it been working with him?
Nyad: The [first] two weeks locked in that room with Henry Byalikov were just a journey. This young man is way mature for his 28 years. He's extremely intelligent. He's an articulate teacher and it's like, we immersed. We locked that door, put on "Sea of Love" by Bobby Darin and just got into it. ... We just sync. We lock in step.
The judges gave you guys an 18. Did you think the scoring was fair?
Nyad: I'm sure it's difficult for [the judges]. I just can't get wrapped up in that. I've just got to be in the moment and look Henry in the eye and get into it. ... With all these things, anything you do in life, is if you're not too good the first time out, you've got nowhere to go but up. And that is certainly where I'm sitting right now.
So how do you feel about doing the cha-cha next week?
Nyad: The first day I met Henry, within five minutes of meeting him, he said, "Look, I've been told that for our first week we're going to either have the foxtrot or the cha-cha." And I said, "Oh please, let it be the cha-cha." Because, not that I can tell you that I know anything about doing a professional cha-cha, but just with friends out at a club or something, I have a little feeling of Latin music. I've done a little social dancing, salsa, and can move the hips a little bit. The foxtrot was absolutely alien to me. Every single thing about it. It was difficult for me to find the joy in it. Whereas, I pretty much don't care who you are, if you get out doing a cha-cha, a meringue, a salsa, you're kind of feeling the Latin beat. You think you're in the Caribbean. It's easy to smile your way through that. So I'm not telling you I'm going to be great technique-wise, but I guarantee I'm going to be at a much higher comfort level when we go out.
Spring TV Preview: Must-watch new shows
The big twist this season is that the pairs will be switching partners at some point. How do you feel about that?
Nyad: I think it's a great twist. ... I'm more nervous about not being around anymore when that little twist comes. ... I don't want to leave Henry. I would feel like my lifeline's gone away. And I'm sure everybody feels that way, no matter who their partner is. But for one week, if I'm still with the show, I'm sure I'd learn from and have a gas being with any of these people.
Have you given any thought to which pro you'd like to be partnered with?
Nyad: It's probably not popular with Middle America, and I don't even know if it would possible, given who's eliminated and who's left to choose from, but honestly - it's not even a gay thing - I'd like to do a dance with Cheryl Burke. I just think it would be hot, like when you see those 1920s art salons in Paris. The women always got up. And in Cuba, they dance together. ... I did talk to Cheryl about it. She said she'd love to do it. But I'm not sure it would be right for the show. Although, come on. They had Chaz Bono on already. Surely you couldn't get more radical than that.
Have you been able to bond with any of the other competitors?
Nyad: I like everybody on the show, both the pros and the dancers. We're all getting to know each other. Maybe it gets cutthroat if you're in the Top 3 a lot later in the season. But right now, all of them - Candace [Cameron Bure] and NeNe [Leakes], Meryl Davis, Charlie [White] - it doesn't matter what level we're at, and all the pro dancers, they come to me all the time and say, 'You looked great.' They all know about the Cuba swim. They are extremely respectful. ... And speaking of meaning a lot to the public out there, look at Amy [Purdy]. My God. ... To see her on that floor, it's dazzling inspirational. We all feel it. If I were one of the fans out there right now, I'd be voting for her. And I think she's also just a terrific person.
Quiz: Which celebrity is older?
What's the biggest difference, in terms of the training or athleticism required, between Dancing and your distance swimming?
Nyad: I'm proud of my body. ... I haven't been sore at all yet. And I give credit to the fact that I'm just in extraordinary shape for my age. I'm sure that's got to help in some ways. It doesn't necessarily help make me an actual better dancer at the form of it and the grace of it, or all of the transitions and moves and balance.
What's been the most challenging aspect for you?
Nyad: I'm really not good at balance, especially in the heels. When Henry goes away from me, I'm in trouble. I'm wobbling if I'm not on that leg very securely. So, I would say [that's] the worst thing that doesn't translate from swimming, where you have no balance. You're in the water. Your legs aren't propped up on anything ever. I'd say that's my worst trait as a dancer. But endurance and strength and fitness, I just don't think I'm going to have any issue with that as we go along.
Do you think that puts you at an advantage, even over some of the younger dancers or people like Meryl and Charlie?
Nyad: As I say, I don't know that it matters for a minute-long dance. Danica [McKellar], who is a beautiful dancer and did a wonderful foxtrot the other night ... drove up one of the first days and we parked in the same parking lot. ... She said, "I want to get out of my car, but my legs are so sore I can't lift them to move them around to get out." We had a big laugh. But look, so I'm maybe fitter and not having any soreness, but who did a more dazzling foxtrot? She did. So I'm not sure that the fitness is going to really come in in a huge way.
Dancing with the Stars airs Mondays at 8/7c on ABC.

Posted by The Situationist Staff on May 17, 2011
Joseph M. Sellers, head of the Civil Rights and Employment practice group at Cohen Milstein, shared his experience working on Dukes v. Wal-Mart Stores, the largest civil rights class action suit in the United States.
Sellers, who is representing a class of more than 1.5 million female employees at Wal-Mart stores in an ongoing sexual discrimination lawsuit, detailed the progress of the case and fielded questions from Harvard Law School students at the talk, hosted by the Harvard Women's Law Association on April 19, 2011. Watch video here.
The Supreme Court heard oral argument in the case in March, and Sellers said he believes the justices will need to be convinced that Wal-Mart's corporate culture is responsible for gender discrimination in the company's personnel practices.
"There were questions during the argument about how you convey bias in the workplace, particularly gender bias," Sellers said. "They asked, how can you assure us the managers were influenced in some way by the corporate culture?"
Wal-Mart is alleged to have discriminated against women in promotions, pay, and job assignments in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The case was brought forward in 2000 when a 54-year-old Wal-Mart employee in California named Betty Dukes filed a sex discrimination claim, alleging that she was denied the training she needed to advance to a higher paying position despite six years of employment and excellent performance reviews.
"Gender stereotypes are not unlawful—everybody uses stereotypes," Sellers said. "What makes it unlawful is managers making decisions based on those stereotypes, and women are consistently underpaid and promoted more slowly than men with the same qualifications."
Sellers said his firm investigated the claims and interviewed female Wal-Mart employees across the country for about a year before taking on the case.
"We learned through remarkably similar accounts by many women who reported that when they asked about pay raises, they were told such things as men are better managers, women are better off staying home and taking care of the family, men see their jobs as a career, and women are here as a hobby," Sellers said.
The firm found statistically significant disparities between male and female employee salaries across the country at every level. Additionally, women took twice as long as men to reach manager status.
"Our contention is the company expects managers to follow the corporate culture that includes gender stereotypes, so the managers often exercise discretion consistent with those stereotypes, making women worse off than similarly qualified men."

WATERBURY, Vt. — Efforts to make OxyContin harder to abuse have succeeded in Vermont, the top state police drug investigator says. But that has come with one notable consequence: Addicts have been switching to an older scourge: heroin.
Statistics provide a glimpse of Vermont's growing heroin problems. Deaths attributed in whole or in part to heroin overdoses averaged fewer than three a year from 2004 to 2010. There were nine such deaths last year, and six this year, according to figures from the state Health Department.
Investigators, counselors, and others combating drug abuse were elated two years ago when OxyContin's manufacturer, Purdue Pharma, reformulated the prescription pain medicine, Lieutenant Matt Birmingham, head of the Vermont Drug Task Force, said in an interview. ''Thank God,'' he said.
OxyContin was designed for use by cancer patients and others suffering serious pain. It was to be taken every 12 hours, releasing oxycodone into the body gradually. However, addicts were chewing the pills or grinding and snorting them for an instant high. The new formula turns the pills into a gummy mass when they're ground up, making them less appealing to addicts.
But in the past two years, heroin has come to the fore in Vermont, with use spreading into high schools.
''Unfortunately, the younger kids think they can start by snorting heroin,'' a method that avoids the stigma and fear surrounding possibly dirty needles, Birmingham said. ''You can get addicted all the same,'' he said, adding that young people ''generally end up injecting once they get a full-blown addiction.''
In addition to spreading to a younger group of users, heroin is circulating more widely in Vermont's rural areas. In the southeastern town of Chester, police raided an apartment early last month and arrested nine people. They also seized $18,000 in cash, heroin with a street value of $20,000, crack cocaine worth $6,200, and OxyContin pills valued at $4,000.
Birmingham said drug distribution networks in the state appear to have become better organized. A decade ago, he said, people would come into Vermont with a shipment of drugs and set up shop in an addict's house to sell them until the supply ran out.
''Now, we're seeing kind of organized networks within the state that some of the dealers can stay in New York City or Albany and wherever the source areas are, and just sort of keep the flow going to the established networks in Vermont. So that concerns us greatly,'' he said.
The response must combine law enforcement, education, and treatment for addicts, Birmingham said.
''Law enforcement realized very quickly that we cannot solve this problem at all by arresting our way out of it. It's just not going to happen,'' he said. ''As long as there is a demand here for heroin and opiate products, the supply will just keep coming. And you're just not going to stop it unless you build a 20-foot fence around the state.''

More on Shower Tile
Showers will have more contact with water than any other area in your home, so in addition to aesthetics, safety and ease of cleaning are important aspects to consider when selecting shower tiles. Tile styles tend to differ between walls and floors. Smaller tiles are more often used for shower floors since grout lines provide better traction and prevent slips, while larger tiles are used more frequently used for shower walls since they make cleaning simpler and smaller spaces seem larger. We recommend selecting three or less tile styles for your bathroom design. And, if you're tiling a curved area like a shower bench or ceiling, remember to stick to small tiles to keep things simple and stress-free.
Keep in mind that the lighter the tile color, the larger the space will appear. Neutral, airy tones are best for opening up smaller spaces. So try to save dark tiles for larger areas or use them sparingly as accents. When tiling your shower, you'll need to use materials with a very low rate of water absorption. Always remember to check the application chart, since absorption levels vary from tile to tile. Semi vitreous tiles are the most absorbent (3-7%), followed by vitreous tiles (.5%-3%), then impervious tiles (0.5%), while non-vitreous tiles are never recommended for shower floor use.
Porcelain, and other types of ceramic floor tiles, are known for their durability, longevity, and low life cycle cost. Stone flooring, like slate or pebble stone, is another great choice for its lifespan and naturally slip-resistant texture. Penny tile rounds also provide ample traction and are another wow-worthy design option for your shower space.

Diabetes NOMS PMRs for All Trade Sector
Data from 1999, 2003-2004, 2007-2010
Suggested Citation : NIOSH (2015). National Occupational Mortality Surveillance (NOMS). U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Division of Surveillance, Hazard Evaluation and Field Studies, Surveillance Branch. <Website address> Date accessed._________.
Source: For these charts, death certificates for decedents that died in one of the 23 U.S. states between 1999 and 2010 were the source of age (ages 18-90), race (black, white), gender, usual occupation and industry and cause of death. PMRs were calculated with all races and genders combined to evaluate the mortality patterns for 23 site-specific cancers and 17 cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, diabetes, and renal diseases for the larger industries in each of ten sectors: agriculture, forestry, fishing; mining; oil and gas; construction; manufacturing, wholesale & retail trade; transportation, warehousing & utilities; healthcare & social assistance; health care / social services; and services. If a PMR is greater than 100 in the chart, it is elevated; if less, it is said to be decreased. User may consult crosswalks for ICD10 and 2000 Census industry category codes (Chronic Disease and Industry Categories).
When the number of observed deaths is less than five, it is suppressed and shown as <5.
PMRs are computed when the data for the population at risk are not available and death rates cannot be computed. Thus the PMRs presented indicate whether the proportion of deaths due to a specific cause appears to be high or low for a particular industry compared to all industries. The 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were computed based on the Poisson distribution if the observed number of deaths was 1000 or less; otherwise, test-based CIs were computed based on the Mantel and Haenszel chi square test.
More information about methods and limitations, source description and listings of states, causes of death and industry codes and the authors' contact information may be found at the main page.

Jonas Brothers Say They Are Disbanding
NEW YORK | The Jonas Brothers are disbanding.
Nick, Joe and Kevin announced Tuesday they're ending their highly successful run. The news comes after the brothers abruptly canceled their tour over creative differences earlier this month.
The breakup was first reported by People magazine. Publicist Jesse Derris confirmed the news and said no other details were available.
The brothers told People the breakup was unanimous and came after Nick Jonas told his brothers in a meeting earlier this month that he felt "trapped."
The New Jersey brothers formed the band in 2005 and built a fan base through their association with the Disney Channel.
The band had been scheduled to release its fifth album later this year.
