A 56-year-old woman was killed after being struck by a vehicle as she crossed a street in Clairement Mesa late Saturday, according to San Diego police.
The victim, Tina Vang, was crossing 7700 Linda Vista Rd after leaving a family party when a Chevy Impala sedan, driving south-bound, struck her just after 10 p.m.
Vang was transported to Sharp Memorial Hospital and despite resuscitative efforts, she was pronounced dead shortly after her arrival, according to the Medical Examiner's office.
Not much is known about the accident, though police reported that the driver of the Impala was a male in his late 20s and that alcohol was not a factor.
No arrests have been made and the Traffic Division is investigating.

The name Marianne Limpert is well known in New Brunswick. In 1996, this New Brunswicker brought honour to the province when she won the silver medal in swimming at the Atlanta Olympic Games. What is less well known is that, in a way, her training was carried out in both official languages. Her coach, a Quebecker, spoke to her in English in order to improve his proficiency in that language. As for Marianne, she seized every opportunity to improve her French. She would often help her Francophone teammates who spoke little, if any, English.
"I enjoy talking to people and making them feel comfortable with me," said the former Olympic swimmer. "I believe there is no better way of doing that than by communicating with them in their own language." In addition to English and French, Marianne speaks German, her parents' mother tongue.

General Counsel P.C. Highlight: When an agency evaluates a proposal for the award of a cost-reimbursement contract, an offeror's proposed estimated costs are not dispositive because, regardless of the costs proposed, the government is bound to pay the contractor its actual and allowable costs. The agency is allowed as part of the evaluation to make adjustments in the proposed estimated costs.
ERC, Inc. protests the award of a contract under a request for proposals (RFP), issued by the Department of the Army, for support services for the Redstone Test Center's Environmental and Component Test Directorate.
The Army issued the RFP as a competitive small business set-aside. The RFP provided for award of a cost-plus-fixed-fee indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract for a 12-month ordering period with four successive 12-month ordering periods. The RFP provided that award of the contract would be made on a best value basis, considering the following factors: business management and technical; past performance; and cost. The RFP instructed offerors that the cost analysis would be accomplished by evaluating each proposal's most probable cost (MPC) to the government. The RFP defined MPC as the government's "estimation of the cost of completing the contract using the offerors['] proposed approach." The RFP stated that offerors' proposed rates, factors, and expenses would be examined by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) or any other means determined appropriate by the government. The evaluation was to include a cost realism analysis utilizing comparisons to the historical composite rate adjusted for anticipated future changes and/or similar rates under comparable government contracts performed in local area. The government was to consider failure to provide comparable rates as an indicator of risk associated with the contractors understanding of the requirements of the Performance Work Statement. The RFP further stated that the agency would rely upon local market wage rates and labor rates of similar government contracts in developing the MPC and in making trade-offs in determining the best value proposal.
With respect to the cost evaluation, DCAA and the agency's price analyst evaluated the offerors' proposed direct and indirect labor rates, attrition and escalation factors, and other costs. The price analyst relied heavily on DCAA's findings when making MPC adjustments, and also compared offerors' proposed composite labor rates with the composite rates furnished in the RFP. The SSA ultimately selected another offeror's lower-cost proposal for award.
With regard to ERC's assertion that the awardee deviated from the composite rates, GAO notes that the composite rates provided in the RFP were "[f]or information purposes only," and offerors were permitted to deviate from these rates with adequate justification. Both DCAA and the agency found the awardee's rates to be reasonable, given that five of the six rates that deviated downward from the RFP?provided rates were based on the hourly rates of current employees working under very similar conditions. Moreover, the record shows that the cost evaluation did result in certain upward adjustments to the awardee's rates to reflect the average actual direct labor rates for the labor categories where incumbent employees were performing. Based on this record, GAO finds no basis to conclude that the agency's evaluation of the awardee's labor rates was unreasonable.
With regard to attrition rate, the record shows that DCAA based its lower rate on the awardee's experience in performing a contract similar in scope to this requirement. The agency adopted DCAA's recommendation in this area, which resulted in a downward reduction in the awardee's MPC. Given the small impact attributable to the application of an attrition rate on the awardee's MPC, the protester has not shown that it was prejudiced, even if the application of the attrition rate was in error.
ERC also argues that the agency unreasonably increased its fringe rates in the MPC analysis. Specifically, ERC contends that the adjustments were based on an inappropriate application of linear regression analysis. The upward adjustments of ERC's fringe rates were due to DCAA recommendations. In this regard, DCAA questioned ERC's proposed fringe rates because they were inconsistent with the firm's established practices. When questioned about this disparity, ERC responded that "its proposed method for allocating fringe costs is not necessarily how it will be accounting for them." DCAA therefore projected ERC's fringe rates for 2009 using a linear regression analysis, based on historical data from 2005 to 2008 of the actual fringe rates incurred by ERC on a contract of similar scope to the requirement here. This resulted in an upward adjustment to ERC's proposed fringe rates of between .3 and 1.1% for each of the ordering periods. The protester has not shown that DCAA's use of the linear regression technique was unreasonable here. Since ERC failed to provide DCAA with an adequate explanation for proposing fringe rates that were different from what it was currently using, DCAA reasonably used an evaluation technique that relied on ERC's actual performance to determine ERC's fringe rates–a technique that all parties agree is a good predictor of overhead rates when there is a good correlation between historical pools and bases. Given that the RFP advised offerors that rates would be examined by DCAA, and given that DCAA's analysis of ERC's fringe rates was reasonable, GAO has no basis to question the agency's following of DCAA's recommendation to upwardly adjust ERC's fringe costs in the MPC evaluation. The protests are denied.

In this multimedia dance duet, Craig Baker & Nóra Hajós, in the guise of characters named S & C, visit earth, exploring the essence of the polarities they find here, in dance, moving words, and projections.
Dance improvisor, choreographer and performer, Karen Nelson will offer SoloSet, comprised of three solos she created in 2001, 2011 and 2014. The pieces range in inspiration from invoking powers of super human compassion; to taking instructions from our universe; to Rashoman and Tuning. Through SoloSet, Nelson yearns to gather clues regarding the mystery of performing improvised solos—how does the dancer dance, and the watcher, change or not, in each instance?
Craig Baker is currently being raised by his children and girlfriend in Portland Oregon. After securing food for the day he has been working with the ideas of ProcessMind. (Arnold Mindell ) How does what I experience experience me? For now this means noticing subtle flirts and tendencies and giving them a voice.
Karen Nelson shifted to exclusively making improvised works in the late 80's and began using compositional scores (ie rules) to discover the nature of the dances caused by the scores. Into the 90's and beyond, influenced by Steve Paxton, Lisa Nelson, Image Lab and many others, this interest gleaned ensemble pieces such as Gaggle (1988), Bajo (1989) and Deal (1996). Solo making remains more mysterious, like a letter marked "return to sender." She teaches and performs in this wide world and resides on Vashon Island in the Puget Sound.

Have you met him? He's really nice.
He doesn't like me after I questioned Resident Evil and Romero's script. Stupid woman who asked where he got his shoes from won the cinema tickets. I was robbed!
Also what does Mila see in him???
If only we were amongst friends... or sane persons!
Fair enough if youve met him and still dont like him you can call him names.
He was nice to me though.
Thanks for the ride, sir.
Did you tell him you liked his shoes?

This was my big problem with the film.. it's got very little in common with the source material!
I've read that PWSA (not to be confused with PWEI) has been trying to get Death Race off the ground for a while. Which surprised me as I really thought it was one of those remakes where they borrowed the title and little else. The original film is nicely subversive and very funny it's a shame the script of the remake was so witless.
Having said that, on the mindless action level I thought it delivered.
Rumor has it, they borrowed a lot of the film from a script they were shown a while back. Perhaps this is why it felt like a remake in name alone.
orlovsky wrote: This was my big problem with the film.. it's got very little in common with the source material!
I heard that a screenwriter had initiated proceedings, Bloody Disgusting ran the story a couple of weeks ago. Sounds like baloney to me, as there isn't a moment in the film not blatantly "borrowed" for something else, so I doubt he's got a leg to stand on.
Big mac Fries to go!
What a great way to end the Fest.
Loud, nonsensical, shallow and dumb. No more dour depressing bittersweet final moments for a fest that is depressing enough to get through when it ends.
Statham continues to be the only real action hero in the cinema and Anderson is still a competant at best movie maker. Its hard to hate his movies as you can see he means well.

The Australian Derby is the premier three-year-old staying race in Australia and is worth $2 million in prize money.
Held on Day 1 of The Championships, the Derby is considered the "Stallion making" race in Australia and it has been taken out by some the Southern Hemisphere's best thoroughbreds.
It's tough for a filly to win the race based on the weights, so the Derby has been dominated by the colts and geldings for some time.
Check our 2019 Australian Derby Tips & Betting Predictions.
There are 10 premier races on Australian Derby Day at Randwick, including three other Group 1 races and the Doncaster Mile.
The Australian Derby was inaugurated as the AJC Randwick Derby Stakes in 1861 before changing name to the Australian Derby in 1873.
Octagonal set the race record in 1996 when winning in a time of 2:28.41 and the biggest margin of victory came by Trident in 1886 when it scored by 10 lengths.
There hasn't been much controversy in the history of the race, except on one occasion where the wrong horse won the race.
Prince Humphrey was declared the winner in 1928, but a punter pointed out that the horse in the picture had different markings to Prince Humphrey.
The horse turned out to be Cragsman, which was by the same sire but with a different dam.
Bettors should be looking for the New Zealand-bred and New Zealand-trained horses when making their Derby selections.
New Zealand-bred horses won the Australian Derby from 2013 – 2017 which included wins from It's A Dundeel, Criterion, Mongolian Khan, Tavago and Jon Snow.
The dominance of the Kiwi runners is no fluke as they're set for the big staying features every year. New Zealand stud farms are best known for their staying prowess and that's starting to show in Australia, especially in the Derby.
It's always tough to gauge the ability of three-year-old stayers, but history tells us to look for the legitimate distance types.
Milers won't often win the 2400m race and despite the winners being a touch one-paced, that's often what is needed to win a Derby.
It takes a good horse to win the Derby and when past winners include the likes of Bonecrusher, Naturalism, Tulloch, Gloaming and the one and only Phar Lap, you know it's not an easy race to win.
Look for the natural stayers and disregard horses that have more speed and endurance.

One of the general rules we preach here at Macromark is that both the copy and the design of your direct mail pieces should be focused and eye-catching. Speaking more specifically to small businesses that may be forced to choose between hiring a designer and hiring a copywriter, deciding whether copy or design is more essential can be tricky. Both are obviously crucial to the success of your campaign, but is there some way to quantify which is more important?
Some experts turn to the long-standing 40/40/20 rule. That is, 40% of the success of your campaign comes down to your mailing list, another 40% relies on your offer, and then 20% relies on every other factor, which would include design and copy.
The 40/40/20 rule is a bit oversimplified. It suggests that simply putting your offer on a plain postcard should generate largely positive results. You should know by now that in no way is that the case. First of all, your offer is not copy. It is your offer. Copywriters refine that offer to make it connect with consumers and to generate improved engagement and response rates. The next thing to realize is that design matters. Colors, shapes, and patterns all make a difference in getting the attention of the consumer who has more options today than ever before.
In practice, design and copy are meant to work in unison. One is meant to play off the other in the same way a pitcher in baseball works with a catcher. The two are virtually inseparable and ineffective without the other. Great copy won't get noticed if the design is dull, and consumers won't connect to the piece if the copy doesn't offer anything relatable.
This still leaves you with the dilemma of which to choose, design or copy. And, unfortunately, the answer is that you need both. There are still options, of course, for budget-strapped direct mail campaigns. Many design templates are sophisticated enough now to accommodate your copy in a visually appealing fashion. It's also a good idea to research what your competitors are doing. Look at their design and copy and find ways to improve on it. Using postsecondary students as interns is a good way to get fresh ideas at a low cost, as well.
The 40/40/20 rule just doesn't suffice. Saying that design and copy are valued at just 20% of your overall direct mail marketing campaign is simply not true. Design and copy are equally as significant as your target list and on par with your offering.
The best part about working with Macromark is that we can help lead your direct mail campaign from start to finish. We provide the most responsive lists in the business and have three decades of experience helping companies like yours meet your marketing goals. Learn more about Macromark by clicking here.

In the fast paced world of internet today, SEO has become a massive movement in the field of online marketing. Not only this, the technique has become pivotal part of accomplishing success for online businesses throughout the world. It is indeed; very difficult to sift through the plethora of information available on the internet and no online marketing campaign could be launched without effective optimization of the websites. Most optimization companies offer branding, conversion, and optimization services, and serve as the source for present, as well as, the tested information on the online marketing campaign. These days, many companies are not only providing optimization services to the clients, but many companies have stepped in to launch comprehensive services related to optimization. These services include outsourcing, consultation and most importantly, optimization training. There have been various workplace training programs designed for online use. Some companies impart basic training in optimization techniques, while others provide specialized programs for the clients.
The trend is becoming exceedingly popular among online businesses to undergo SEO Training, because the training helps companies to avail a number of benefits. Since, optimization technology is deemed necessary for increasing the ranking of a website; even a basic training can help anyone who wants to enter a profitable online business. In this manner, the training will enable a company to broaden its capacity and use tips and tricks to exert efforts in the right way, so as to increase the company's return on investment (ROI). Once, a business develops the need for optimization training, the service providing company would create a network and present various offers to the clients. However, sometimes these various options result in creating confusion for the clients, and it would become a difficult job to select the best available optimization training service. Though, training is fruitful for the clients, few points have to be kept in mind.
For instance, when choosing the best SEO Training service, one has to be careful so as not to fall prey to scams and fraudulent programmers, who would impart limited training, but would charge a lot. This can result in considerable loss of time, as well as, money for the client, because such training would be of no use and would lead the client no where. But that does not mean that one should not trust any service provider. The need is just to be careful while choosing the right training provider company. In order to find out if the company is genuine or not, the best thing is to do a little research about the company, search the web for testimonials, and/ or use one's personal contacts to know about the best companies. After ensuring the authenticity of the company, one can choose the best training programs.
Once, a client properly inquires and chooses the SEO Training, they can easily search for the training they want by holding a comparison and providing content for the optimization training. It is advisable to compare the content of the training. The training course would enable a user to realize whether they have learned things properly or not, and whether they are able to execute their learning properly or not. This would also enable a user to know whether the money that they had invested in training had been useful or not. If one is not sure about their performance, they can always ask friends and colleagues who are trained in optimization services, as well. Moreover, one can always learn through online forums or discussion groups wherein one can meet experts from all over the world. In this way, a trained person can continuously update himself with the technological progress in the optimization field.

When will prosecutors identify and compensate overseas victims of corruption?
Genevieve Theriault-Lachance
Identifying and compensating overseas victims of corruption is a major challenge that prosecutors have yet to adequately address. As Jeffrey Kaplan recently discussed in a post for the FCPA Blog, when corruption is treated as victimless, it may allow those involved in the crime to "feel comfortable with their participation."
Despite an undeniable rise in the global will to prosecute international corruption and overseas bribery, seldom do law enforcement agencies return funds to the victims of the corrupt scheme. In 2011, the United Kingdom introduced criminal infractions with the adoption of the Bribery Act. However, since its enactment, prosecutors have only sought £33 million ($40 million) in compensation from a total of £602 million ($736 million) secured through sanctions or settlements, representing less than 6 percent of the total sum levied. Why has there been so little compensation to those directly affected?
Our recent fieldwork in the Democratic Republic of Congo clearly demonstrates the devastating impact of corruption on the lives of tens of thousands of local residents directly affected at just one cobalt mine – the KMT mine (now called Metalkol RTR) in Kolwezi, a rich copper and cobalt tailings site considered one of the crown jewels of Congo's mining assets.
The abrupt closure of the KMT mine in 2009 due to corruption resulted in 700 workers losing their jobs and corresponding benefits, and severely affected an estimated 32,000 Congolese residents who were deprived of clean drinking water, and plagued with ongoing air and water pollution, sickness and a lack of education opportunities.
These are the types of victims of corruption that law enforcement agencies should identify and seek to compensate. There may be an opportunity for the Serious Fraud Office to assist the Congolese victims. The closure and subsequent acquisition of the KMT mine is reported as being part of the SFO's investigation into Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC), one of the SFO's longest-running cases. In January 2020, the first group of 16 Congolese residents stepped forward as potential victims in the case.
In overseas cases, compensation orders may present an ethical problem. The prosecuting country can appear to be enriching itself while providing little to those enduring the repercussions of corruption. This issue was debated by world leaders at the International Anti-Corruption Summit of 2016 in which the UK pledged not only to expose, pursue and punish those involved in corruption but also to compensate overseas victims of corruption and return stolen assets.
In 2018, the UK adopted the General Principles to compensate overseas victims (including affected States) in bribery, corruption and economic crime cases (the Compensation Principles) in answer to that commitment. The principles are progressive in establishing that UK law enforcement agencies shall identify overseas victims in all relevant cases and consider compensating them by using whatever legal mechanisms are available.
The Compensation Principles are a promising step forward, but they lack a comprehensive definition of "overseas victims." To date, "affected states" are the primary recipients of the minimal funds being returned, as opposed to affected communities or individuals. While in some cases the state might be the appropriate recipient of such funds, in other cases it is not.
For example, where senior members of the government played a direct role in the corruption, not only is there a significant risk that the funds might be re-corrupted, it also sends a message that those responsible can act with impunity. In addition, by not directly compensating individuals or communities harmed by corruption, access to remedy is weakened. It risks creating a two-tier system between overseas victims of corruption and victims of other crimes.
Law enforcement agencies like the SFO should deepen their understanding of the victims of overseas corruption, quantify the harm and loss caused, and find the best legal avenues for compensation. Not doing so will render the Compensation Principles meaningless and the fight against corruption less effective and less fair.

Great topic on a long time discussion. Corruption means a missing hospital, poor infrastructure, poverty and more. It´s a good thing that corrupt companies were and are being prosecuted in the U.S. or U.K., but the consequences from their actions will have an impact that we´ll see for many years unfortunately
Joe Murphy
Genevieve – I fully endorse the point that corruption is not a victimless crime; I side with those who describe it as evil. But I have two major problems with the notion that enforcement agencies should compensate the victims.
First, the same corrupt government officials who were stealing the money initially will find a way to get their hands on the money returned to their country as a "victim." How would a "foreign" enforcement agency like the SFO have the power to overrule another sovereign government in determining where the victim compensation went? This will just be dismissed as neo-colonialism, and the rulers will find a way to steal the money intended for the victims.
Second, enforcers are good at enforcement. They are given substantial power for this purpose. But determining what money goes where in a foreign location and determining what are otherwise political priorities is a dangerous amount of power to give to unelected officials. Moreover, enforcement resources are always limited. Every person working on allocating money in a foreign jurisdiction is a person not working on pursuing the next group of corrupt officials.
I think the best allocation of enforcement resources is on enforcement. I want to see the criminals prosecuted, punished, and separated from their ill-gotten gains. But I do not believe enforcement should be diverted into making fundamentally political decisions about the allocation of resources in foreign nations.
We need to get rid of the corrupt government officials. Until then, the victims will remain victims, one way or another. We should never underestimate the resourcefulness and greed of corrupt officials.

State-of-the-art technology meets the age-old sport of horse racing at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie
photograph by Gerald E. Mcleod
Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie provides grownup entertainment in a neighborhood of family theme parks along the I-30 corridor between Dallas and Fort Worth. The pari-mutuel horse racing track is a stone's throw from Ripley's Palace of Wax, Six Flags Over Texas, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor water park, and Texas Rangers baseball.
Opened to live racing in 1997, Lone Star Park is a beautiful playground for the "sport of kings." Taking up approximately 315 acres at Belt Line Road north of the interstate, the park includes two tracks and a seven-story, 280,000-seat grandstand with restaurants, bars, gift shops, and air-conditioned seating.
My two favorite areas of the park are the Saddling Paddock and the bench seating area between the grandstand and the track. The European-style Saddling Paddock is where the pre-race pageantry of horse racing takes place. For most of us amateur bettors, I don't know if seeing the horse before the race is any help in deciding on which nose to place our $2, but the area gives us a close-up look at the athletes. The bench area gets you within a few feet of the tons of energy and power as it races to the finish line.
Basic admission price to the park ranges from $2 to $5, plus $2 to park your car. This can be an entertainment bargain, depending upon how much you lose at the betting windows. For beginners and those looking for inside tips, the track handicapper offers race seminars before the races at 5:40pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and at 12:40pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Sunday is billed as Family Day with picnicking allowed on the grassy slope overlooking the track and special children's entertainment facilities set up around the park. For a real entertainment value, visit the track on one of the regularly scheduled Kid's Club free Saturday morning play days. Beginning at 8:30am, visitors are treated to pony rides, a petting zoo, games, and a continental breakfast. The park is usually open on Saturday mornings, 8:30-11am for free tours and to watch morning workouts.
In an effort to attract the 25 to 40-year-old crowd, the track offers Party at the Park specials with live music and drink specials. If it's your birthday on the day you visit the park, join the Birthday Club and receive free general admission, parking, and a copy of the track's racing form.
For me, it is the horses that bring me back for my occasional visit to the race track. The roar of the crowd behind me pushes me over the railing, straining to see the blurry figures speeding down the track past me to the finish line.
Then a tense stillness grips the crowd as they wait for the official standings posted in lights on the black billboard and TV screen. With a yelp the crowd exclaims the results of their wagers. No matter how much the bet, I have the same rush of relief when I win and a sick emptiness in the pit of my stomach when I lose. My Baptist upbringing lets me rationalize gambling when I win and makes me feel guilty when I lose.
Since voters approved pari-mutuel betting in 1987, Texas race tracks have seen their fortunes rise and fall. Tracks in Bandera and west of Fort Worth closed after a few seasons. Facilities in San Antonio and Houston survive on a thin profit. Lone Star Park has managed to attract a significant number of regular fans to support their operation.
All four of the surviving race tracks offer simulcasts, betting on races at other tracks. Post times for evening races is generally around 6:30pm and day races on weekends are around 1:30pm. Live racing schedules around the state are:
Lone Star Park's spring race season began April 1 and runs through July 19. The Meeting of Champions features quarterhorses Oct. 2 through Nov. 29. For more information on the track, call 800/795-7223 or visit http://www.lonestarpark.com/.

About Katt
Critically Acclaimed Director, Award Winning Screenwriter
Film director/Screenwriter Katt Shea has been honored by retrospectives of five of her critically acclaimed films at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, The British Film Institute in London and various festivals throughout Europe.
Recently, Film Forum in NYC exhibited a comprehensive retrospective of her films and Fantaspoa, one of the largest genre film festivals in the world, is presenting her with their Career Achievement Award; the first ever given to a female film director and she is credited for "inspiring a generation of young filmmakers."
Critics have compared Shea to Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone and even Ingmar Bergman. Veteran filmmakers Francis Ford Coppola and Sidney Pollack have championed her.
Andrew Sarris says of her, "I see an unusually kinetic talent combined with a flare for complex narrative. Ms. Shea does little things so well that big meanings flow out of them."
Rolling Stone's Peter Travers adds: "The emotional resonance, visual sophistication and strong subtext of Shea's work fuse to create a distinctive style. Look at Jonathan Demme's Caged Heat, Martin Scorsese's Boxcar Bertha. Shea follows in that tradition and does it proud."
New York Times writer Caryn James credits Katt with starting a new genre, about the screenings at the Sundance Film Festival she wrote: "One of the best competition films is Poison Ivy, directed by Katt Shea, whose previous movies were made for Roger Corman. Four of these movies will be shown at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan, which says everything about the genre she and Sundance are helping to define."
Shea's first studio film, The Rage: Carrie 2, received rave reviews in The L.A. Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, The New York Post, The Village Voice and The Nation.
Kevin Thomas of The Los Angeles Times called her "…a master of genre. Shea's ability to play various elements against one another gives The Rage welcome complexity and tension."
Stuart Klawans of The Nation raves that Katt Shea movies are "…remarkable for their disquieting themes, for their style (bold, fluent and varied) … Over the past dozen years only five or six American women besides Shea have managed to turn out a comparable number of commercial features … Look at the beauty and terror that Katt Shea can achieve and ask whether there's motivation today for The Rage."
Shea's movies set trends within the industry. Poison Ivy inspired dozens of high profile imitators, and has become a cult classic. The influence of even her earliest low budget films is still felt within the thriller genre.
Shea's first TV Movie for CBS, Sharing The Secret, won the prestigious Peabody Award. Airing on sweeps week, The Hollywood Reporter paid tribute: "Some first rate performances, along with Shea's fine tuned direction create Sharing The Secret's intelligent two hours."
Perhaps Peter Travers sums things up best when he says, "Why settle for a usual walk around the block when Shea offers a wild ride with the top down into un-chartered territory?"
Shea now presents her much-anticipated first novel Batshit Black, a provocative YA novel on Amazon.You might find her riding her beautiful quarter horses Henry and Peace through historic Vasquez Rocks or at local restaurants, with "the boys" tied at a parking space, in her quaint home town of Agua Dulce, California.

The Sexiest!
By Guest son, jery, February 28, 2002 in General Discussions
Guest son, jery
George Brent should be added to our Sexiest Hall of Fame. I thought he was a gorgeous hunk in "Baby Face", basically because he didn't wear his moustache. And he looked so tall, too. No wonder he was catnip to Babs, Bette and every female star he worked with. Ruth Chatterton married him, I believe, after they filmed a daring pre-coder, "FEMALE, where she goes through all the men in her company, just like Babs did in BABY FACE. Brent was also hotly pursued by all the gay directors, producers, etc. They had no chance. Brent was a fighting Irishmen but he was reportedly charming in his rejections.
Guest o, rita
Ooh, I agree Jery. He was so handsome and suave. Bette Davis said he was her favorite leading man. He was the ultimate gentleman. He oozed class. But, did he ever get to "star" in a movie where he was the protaganist? And, what happned to him? Is he still alive?
This is a continuation of above post. I think George had a lot of the same qualities of William Powell. But, he was not promoted by the studio. He should have been a star of the same caliber. I guess George wasn't as ambitious or agressive. Maybe, he was like Robert Taylor; he did whatever MGM wanted him to do and never bucked the studio. He was a "company man" type star. In fact, wasn't Robert under contract to the studio longer then anyone. Right up until the old studio system collapsed. I mean, he snitched to the HUAC/and that snake, Joe McCarthy, and about his peers.
Guest pert, ud
I think William Warren or maybe Warren Williams would have been better. But Warren William? It sounds like he just dropped his last name and kept the first and middle (admittedly, still an improvement).
Guest Alix
Agreed (like I do with most things you write, except that stuff about Nelson Eddy!). I think I called him William Warren for months, and then was looking up something on the imdb and saw that I had his name backward. It just doesn't "flow" easily off the tongue. Shakespere put it well when he said, "A rose by any name would smell as sweet."
Rita, you really know your stuff, my friend. You're so right. Robert Taylor was a "yes" man for MGM but they did keep him in the running for a long time. He disgraced himself by appearing before the Joe McCarthy group and named some names, along with Adolph Menjou, Hedda Hopper and Elia Kazan. George Brent died a while back but from everything I read, he was ALWAYS the pursued. Bette complained in her memoirs that the black dye he used on his hair rubbed off on the pillows of her bed. This man really earned the title of Love God. He must've had something going for him.
Yes, Jery, they say Hedda Hopper was to the "right of Hitler" she was extreme in her politics. I read that Hedda was almost personally responsible for Chaplin leaving the US. They say she constantly printed negative items about him in her column. She referred to him as a "pinko", and alleged he was a sexually perverted cradle robber. They say she could be a horrible woman. I remember her for her outlandish hats. When Elia Kazan received his award at the Academy Awards a few years back not everyone in the audience participated in the standing ovation. I recall Ed Harris and his actress wife remained seated. I know that they are both political activists. Not everyone in Hollywood has forgiven him for testifying against his peers some of whom were close friends. What a horrible episode in American history.
Guest olmsted, l
I remember that Academy Awards show too. The one who stands out in my mind who stayed seated and lookind disdained was Nick Nolte. How does everyone else feel about the subject? Can you separate the man from his art?
I think all the actors there should have boycotted Elia Kazan. In any other profession, it wouldn't have been as bad. But when you finally get a chance to appear before a Hollywood camera, especially back in the late 40s and early 50s, you're a member of a tiny little society of performers. When someone like Kazan names you, you're automatically blackballed with no work. Anne Revere was one. As the mother of Montgomery Clift in "A Place in the Sun," she had a juicy, big role. But after her name was merely MENTIONED by Kazan, her part was chopped down so much, it was like a cameo. She and all the other actors who were blackballed lived in poverty or worked at odd jobs until their deaths. A few screenwriters had to go overseas to find employment. Hedda, Adolph Menjou and Kazan were shameless hysterics and should have been run out of Hollywood.
Jery, I can usually separate talent from an celebrity's personal life, though I know a LOT of people who can't do that. I know people who won't see certain movies if it stars someone who's politics they don't agree with. I can usually forget about what happens in life and enjoy a film regardless. However, since I wasn't alive in the 50's, I can't say I'd have been that way then. Charges from the HUAC were a VERY BIG DEAL, not some insignificant scandal that would soon be forgotten. I remember reading Lucille Ball's autobiography and she was accused of communism which was just ridiculous (though I know you don't like her). I know also that Arthur Miller was brought up on charges and Marilyn Monroe was being investigated. When Kazan named names Marilyn lost all respect for the man (rightfully so) with whom she had been so close and with whom she'd even had an affair. I think what Kazan did was disgusting and ugly and had I been around in the 50's, I probably would have boycotted him. However, 50 years later, I rent his movies (there are so many) and quite enjoy them.
Pardon, but did I hear another subtle sneer in there toward the great Nelson Eddy? There's been an awful lot of "unsexy" press around here toward Nelson and Jeanette. And don't think I've forgotten that you and Jery wouldn't invite Nelson to dinner (hey, at least you'd know he'd eat all his food. Johnny Mack Brown would be down on all fours, regurgitating). I think there's a predisposition to regard operetta performers as either "prima donnas" (if they're female) or "pompous ****" (if they're male). Well, I'll bet there's a lot of females who'd take Nelson Eddy's pompous **** over Johnny Mack Brown's Montana Moons. And nickname notwithstanding, they'd probably back The Singing Capon against Johnny Cow-Poke in a **** fight any day.
Ud pert, I have been called many things, but NEVER subtle! I'm afraid you're entirely correct on remembering that Nelson Eddy would not be a table guest at my dinner party. In fact, I don't want him as a singing waiter at my party either! You probably don't believe it, but I personally do not feel a predisposition against operetta stars in general. I am a huge fan of Ramon Novarro in fact (now THERE'S a gorgeous tenor!). I loved him in CAT AND THE FIDDLE. Very energetic, very sexy, and oh so very, very handsome! Eddy simply did not have any sex appeal (that I can see), and yet continued to be cast time after time in a romantic leading man's role! He just happens to be one of the handful of actors that I cannot seem to discern any real reason that they were successful! One request...you pick on all the other men I find attractive, please don't start picking on my real "crush," James Stewart. I fall in love with him over and over again in practically every movie I see him in. Hmmm....wonder if he was a tenor?
I can appreciate Elia Kazan's genious. But, I would have remained seated. In the neighborhood's I grew up in you did not snitch on your friends.
Guest K, Sandy
Ok, naming names was reprehensible. But who was doing the blackballing? The guys holding the purse strings. Who is more to blame here?
It's not really you specifically, Alix, I just seem to see some biases against lyric singers sometimes, and both Nelson and Jeanette were very nice people. You've got to forgive me for being so ruthless against Johnny Mack Brown, it's just that he is the ultimate Star I Like To Dislike, because he is really the ONLY thirties actor I feel that way about, and it's so fun to pick on him. (I have a feeling that he would not be even slightly offended, either.) Now, if this were a sports forum, I'd be singing his praises, because he was really one of the great football players of his time. But where movies are concerned, your feelings about Eddy parallel mine where Brown is concerned to a tee. I do like David Manners, because he seems to have just those. Now, I would never insult James Stewart, so we're on even footing there. I think he actually was kind of a high baritone, and a rather pleasing singer at that--I've heard him warble in "Born To Dance" and "Pot O' Gold." I sometimes get a little too playful here in the playroom, so never take me too seriously! I need my pre-code pals.
WOW! I had no idea James Stewart sang on film! I've not seen either of the two movies you named, so I'll have to keep an eye peeled for them. I'd love to see him really sing, not just that "Buffalo gal can you come out tonight" thing from IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. Why apologize for being playful? You've made this message board fun with your wit and diverse opinions. I was wondering what we ever did before you came here! I can't believe out of all the actors in the thirties you'd single out J.M.B. though, to be your ultimate Star You Love to Dislike. But I guess if I can have the opportunity to dislike Nelson Eddy, I'll allow you to dislike J.M.B. (although I can't understand it, he's such a cutie). I hope you don't take me too seriously either! I like to chat, and talk movies too, and disagreeing is part of the fun.
Richard Carlson is another candidate for our Hall of Sexiest Stars! He wasn't heroically built but he was, indeed, handsome, trim, with an adorable tush and he did bare most of his flesh as a swimmer in numerous horror flicks of the 50s, especially "Creature from the Black Lagoon," "Tormented," etc. I loved that intelligent expression, especially when he wore his glasses, and then he casually climbed into a bathing suit. I thought he was adorable in "Hold That Ghost!" and really good in "The Little Foxes." I would dive into the water anytime--even with the creature swimming beneath me--if I knew the cutie pie known as Richard Carlson would answer my pitiful little screams.
Guest walton, wes
I agree with you up until two points: 1)Betty Grable's was a dated beauty. Something that isn't very attractive by today's standards. 2)Rita Hayworth is for me in league with Marilyn on all points. She was a vulnerable, voluptuous beauty whose personal life and self esteem mirrored Monroe's. Each had one advantage over the other however, Hayworth's beauty is an archetype of today's image of beauty. Monroe's is of a different era. Monroe on the other hand had the trump-she died tragically and way too soon, a guarantee of superstardom. Hayworth had to live on and battle age and Alzheimer-the worst career move for any star.
Absolutely. I just worry sometimes that I get a little too critical with other people's favorites. But like you say, it's all in fun. If someone starts in on one of my own idols, I just smile, say "En garde!" and start dueling with the poison pen! Since there are so few thirties stars I dislike, I need to find them where I may, and old JMB is like a steer waiting for the branding. Alix, you really must catch "Born To Dance." I can't imagine going through life without ever seeing it. Jimmy sings a Cole Porter classic, "Easy To Love," and joins in on several others. He's a charmer, and has unexpectedly strong chemistry with Eleanor Powell. You know, Jimmy's first big exposure came in a Nelson Eddy movie! Stewart's second film was "Rose-Marie," and it was the first of his performances to get a wide audience. He acts his smallish part perfectly, and he went on to do some eleven or so more movies that year. (I hope you won't judge Nelson by that particular film, though. He is really out of it, and it's not a typical performance, though many have judged his entire career based on it.) Great Tahoe scenery.
The entire McCarthy era was an ordeal not in the nature of the nation. How Kazan, or Taylor dealt must be viewed in light of America in 1930's 40's. Nolte, Harris and those that didn't exist in the era are showing nothing more than their insulated views of their world and its past. To continue to condemn a man for a mistake that was understandable in the era is too harsh and shows thier own ignornace in spades. As a historian, I can say that those that stood up to McCarthy are to be admired but those that buckled are not villans-they were pawns, weak and fearful. Further, art must be separated from the moment to moment actions of the artist. Kazan collapsed to the extreme right, but he was a brave and daring, forward thinker. One moment does not wipe out his accomplishments.
Ud pert, I'd be interested to know who your favorites are, from the great 1930's.
please, let's get back to our Sexiest Star theme. We can wade into the McCarthy Hearings in another folder. Okay, who do we have next on our Sexiest List? Buster Crabbe (Flash Gordon, Tarzan), Preston Foster (suave, menacing hunk of the 30s, 40s), House Peters (Gloria Swanson's favorite leading man and so macho!).
Yummy Gary Cooper! He was SOOO cute in Meet John Doe, which I watched last night. Most of the movies I had seen him in were when he was older, still no slouch, but definately showing some wear and tear. But when he was younger....just delicious!
Wes, although I agree with you on your points and would love to discuss this further, I agree with jeryson that we should do it in a different folder. I'll be happy to start the discussion if anyone's game. (?)
The musicals are my favorites. First the Keeler-Powells, then the Astaire-Rogers series, then the Eddy-MacDonalds, then the Bing Crosbys, then the Eleanor Powells, then the Sonja Henies, then all the other musicals, then the non-musical Warners, then MGM, then RKO, Paramount and so on. I love at least 99% of all movies made in the thirties. If I see a movie playing that was made in the thirties which I haven't seen, I know what I'm doing that night!


I suggested this because infantry divisions in war dont use the same weapons. They use a variety of weapons, rifles, sub machine guns, machine guns, anti tabk weapons, vehicles etc.
It will be more cool and realistic. Instead of having all these infantry units (im talking about the current ones in the game), why dont we scrap and use them to make some more realistic models.
Maybe units range should be somehow increased to make the game more fast paced.
I like the first one belfry. However, the angle is wrong.
They used it against the germans as well.
Artillery units are already annoying because of their range.
The german officer looks like a female.
Lets add more and better looking buildings and trees.
Shock troops were armed with ppsh submachine guns and granades. So lets not give them molotovs. Their uniforms were green, and they wore body armor too. So please change the image if possible.
Then tanks will have to get more than 1 range, right?
Please dont give it more than 1 range. It will totally annihilate tanks, plus its not a howitzer.
Whats the point of bunkers if we add mg nests?
It makes no sense for aircraft to be produced at cities.
Recently, ive been testing some of my maps and ive realised the AI doesnt use bunkers at all. Can this be changed?
AI usually spams artillery fortifications too. Can you change it?
Why cant we add uk and japan as nations in the game? There are already some units for them and i need them for my maps too.
Yeah please remove heavy tanks, ships and planes from the cities production menu.
Yeah please remove heavy tanks, ships and planes from cities.
This probably needs coding, so i guess stratego?
I just want players and AI not to be able to make all units in my maps, but cities just give them the chance to make planes or heavy tanks, while i dont want them to have that oppurtunity.

Q: jQuery datatable ignores rows with colspan I have a table that looks like this:
EDITED:

        ID
        NAME
        NUMBER

        1
        JOHN
        311-123-4523

        Some information about the user

Note: Clicking on the id number, show/hide the detail row.
I am having problems when dataTable try to render the table with the colspan, i get this error
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'asSorting' of undefined

If I remove the detail rows, datatable renders everything fine.
What i want to know if it is possible to tell dataTable to ignore details rows as described above.

A: I recommend to use this solution direct from datatable
DataTables hidden row details example
works great

A: I read through the documentation of Datatable and it looks like doesnt support colspan as of now.
You might want to look at these links. They provide alternatives to colspans. This seems to be quite cumbersome, agreed, but as of now, there's no other go.
Datatables forum link
SO link for a similar kind of question
Edit :
On reading more, i found this :
This discusses on how colspan and sowspan can be used for grouping. Maybe you could look more at that.
And ensure that you're using the latest version of the plugin.

A: Add to your css:
.hide {
    display: none;
}

and to onclick handler:
$('#user_1').toggleClass('hide');


No one likes to pay taxes, but people who live in the Mat-Su may find themselves paying a lot more if propositions for new sales taxes go through.
The cities of Palmer, Houston and Wasilla already have city sales taxes but residents might also decide to pay a new tax proposed by the Mat-Su Borough.
The Borough is considering a first ever general sales tax of 3 percent. The majority of the money raised would help pay for Valley schools that are struggling with an $11 million budget deficit.
Mat-Su Borough School Superintendent Monica Goyette said the district has received flat funding from both the Borough and the state in a time when costs are rising and the number of students is increasing. She said this year, the district is getting about $600 less per student. The result, she said, has been pay cuts, student activity fees shifted to families and the most crowded classrooms in the state.
The proposed tax isn't sitting well with everyone. Business owner Kelly McKay-Dolfi said, as far as she's concerned, government spending has gotten out of hand.
Some worry about what could happen if a borough tax is approved on top of the city taxes most Mat-Su communities already pay. That's one reason why the city of Palmer has come out against the sales tax, according to Palmer City Manager Nate Wallace.
"It does add to the price and when you consider 6 percent in Palmer and zero percent in Anchorage or Eagle River, which is pretty darn close, it could change the balance of how the revenue is generated both for the businesses and the city," said Wallace.
But not everyone thinks the price of a new sales tax is too high to pay. Fireside Books owner, David Cheezem, said if it would mean better schools, he'd be willing to pay.
The borough assembly will hold a public hearing on the sales tax proposal August 1. If they vote to put it on the October ballot, voters would have the final say on whether it's implemented.

Dylan Calm from the Art of the Float podcast facilitated a round table discussion with the audience. Joining him were two fellow facilitators, Kim Hannan and Jeremy Jacob. As it picked up steam it felt like a town-hall meeting with microphones in many hands. The topic discussed most was the first float orientation. Shared were great perspectives and tips to improve orientations. The care the float industry applies to the orientation is unique and inspiring. Below is a sampling of what was expressed during this meeting of minds.


And what I'm interested in is investing in people.
I mean I wasn't a founder in the sense that I contributed anything scientifically but in the sense that I signed the corporation papers and, and owned founder's stock.
I was one of the founders in, in that, the three of us all had the, had the founder's stock.
My father was an immigrant from Russia and my mother was first generation.
People come in with business plans and, I mean I know that no one is going to meet everything they say in a business plan but you got to have something to, to guide towards.
Well, I was born and raised in Rochester, New York.
Which, the first meeting with anybody is, you know, everybody is on their best behavior. It's only after you get to know them for a while that you figure out.
