Chris Bucholz: 5 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Free Speech (Cracked)
The right to free speech is one of the most important rights we have. It's a key element of a functioning democracy, ensures minority groups can make their voices heard, and serves as the foundation for all the best (and worst) jokes.
SHONDA RHIMES: A screenwriter's advice (Zen Pencils)
Positive quotes and mantras are obviously extremely popular at the moment (and duh, I've managed to build a whole website around them) but I try very hard to not just blindly preach the 'follow your dreams' rhetoric. As Rhimes puts so well, behind the decision to follow your bliss lies years of hard work, sacrifice, grit and determination. Talking about it accomplishes nothing.
Jon Stewart: House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology (Daily Show)
"Did you catch Jon Stewart's clip of the Republican-controlled House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology? You have to watch. It would be funny if - to quote former Republican Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative Monday - climate change were not "the single biggest risk to the global economy." (Well, in truth, it's funny anyway.)" - Andrew Tobias

David Cunningham "Dave" Garroway (July 13, 1913 - July 21, 1982) was an American television personality. He was the founding host and anchor of NBC's Today from 1952 to 1961. His easygoing and relaxing style belied a battle with depression. Garroway has been honored for his contributions to radio and television with a star for each on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the St. Louis Walk of Fame, the city where he spent part of his teenage years and early adulthood.

Note for Lois about Keanu:
Perhaps Keanu Reeves should reevaluate his home security system.
After a woman broke into the "Matrix" star's house and was found reclining in his library room earlier this month, another woman was reportedly arrested for taking a shower and skinny-dipping in his pool two days later.
Police officers responded to a 911 call and were called to the "47 Ronin" actor's home on Sept. 12, after reports of a burglary. Reeves, 50, told cops he was sleeping until he "heard a noise" coming from the library, the L.A. Times reported.
A woman, reportedly in her 40s and "behaving erratically," was found sitting in a chair in the book room, the Times reports. She was taken to a medical facility to be evaluated but was not arrested.
Two days later another woman apparently waltzed into the actor's Hollywood Hills pad - making herself right at home by getting naked, taking a shower and skinny-dipping in the pool - after entering through an unlocked door.
A cleaning crew left the front gate open and the intruder entered without being bothered, law enforcement sources told TMZ.
After the cleaning crew got suspicious and called the actor, Reeves called the cops. The second woman was also taken for mental evaluation.
Randall responded:
is it
Dave Garroway?
and didn't he have a co-host,
a monkey named J. Fred Muggs
or something like that?
I was a bit young to actually watch The Today Show

Dave Garoway. I remember him well, him and his sidekick. I didn't watch it much, I was only 8 in 1952 but that was the year I started smoking.
PS I don't hate Wayne Newton, I kinda like him. I met him in LAX about 1964 I think. Nice guy.

As you all know the untimely passing of Terry was unexpected, even by
him. We all knew he had cancer but we all thought he had some years
left. So some of us who have worked closely with him over the years are
scrambling around trying to figure out what to do. My job, among other
things, is to establish communications with the Bartcop community and
provide email lists and groups for those who might put something
together. Those who want to play an active roll in something coming from
this, or if you are one of Bart's pillars, should send an email to
active@bartcop.com.
Bart's final wish was to pay off the house mortgage for Mrs. Bart who is
overwhelmed and so very grateful for the support she has received.
Anyone wanting to make a donation can click on this the yellow donate

But - I need you all to help keep this going. This note
isn't going to directly reach all of Bart's fans. So if you can repost
it on blogs and discussion boards so people can sign up then when we
figure out what's next we can let more people know. This list is just
over 600 but like to get it up to at least 10,000 pretty quick. So

Words from Edward Snowden are shown on a kite that is part of the installation With Wind during a preview of the art exhibit @Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz Island Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2014, in San Francisco. Revealing unexpected perspectives on Alcatraz and its layered legacy, the exhibit by the Beijing-based artist prompts visitors to consider the implications of incarceration and the possibilities of art as an act of conscience. The position of the kites trapped inside the building unable to fly, suggests the contradiction of freedom and restriction. The exhibit opens Friday and runs through April.

A Seattle judge on Wednesday dismissed every citation for public marijuana use written in the first seven months of this year after city officials said the tickets were disproportionately handed out to black men.
Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes had also sought the dismissal of the 100 citations issued from January to the end of July because more than half were given out by a single officer who apparently opposed marijuana legalization.
A Seattle Municipal Court judge signed orders "to vacate the default judgment and dismiss with prejudice all 100 citations in the interest of justice," a court spokesman said.
The Seattle Police Department has said 36 percent of the citations were issued to African-Americans, who make up just 8 percent of the city's population.

Barbra Streisand showed a posse of hot young talent how it's done Wednesday when her latest album "Partners" entered the Billboard 200 chart at number one.
The triumph comes almost exactly 50 years to the day when her 1964 album "People" hit number one, said the music industry trade journal on its www.billboard.com website.
Going straight to number one on the Billboard 200 has become commonplace for twenty-something divas like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift with big marketing machines behind them.
But by virtue of age alone, they can't hope to match Streisand's claim to having chart-topping albums in each and every decade since the 1960s.

What appears to be a window to Boston's past has turned up in a rather unusual place: the head of a lion's statue on the building that once served as the seat of Massachusetts government.
The Bostonian Society, which operates a museum at the Old State House, said Tuesday it had confirmed the presence of what had long been rumored to be a time capsule from 1901 tucked away inside the copper statue. The statue was recently taken down from the roof as part of a restoration effort.
A fiber optic camera was used to locate the time capsule - in actuality a copper box - in the head of the lion, according to Heather Leet, the society's director of development. The next steps, she said, will include an attempt to carefully open the statue without damaging it, followed by the removal of the box and examination of its contents.
The group first learned of the potential existence of the time capsule several years ago from a woman who was a descendent of the original sculptor.
"She had a letter from him and a list of things in the time capsule," said Leet. The society did some further research and uncovered a 1901 article about the time capsule in The Boston Globe, she said.
The Obama administration has agreed to pay the Navajo Nation a record $554 million to settle longstanding claims by America's largest Indian tribe that its funds and natural resources were mishandled for decades by the U.S. government.
The accord, resolving claims that date back as far as 50 years and marking the biggest U.S. legal settlement with a single tribe, will be formally signed at a ceremony on Friday in Window Rock, Arizona, the capital of the sprawling Navajo reservation.
The deal stems from litigation accusing the government of mismanaging Navajo trust accounts and resources on more than 14 million acres (5.7 million hectares) of land held in trust for the tribe and leased for such purposes as farming, energy development, logging and mining.
In return for $554 million, the Navajo agreed to dismiss its lawsuit and forego further litigation over previous U.S. management of Navajo funds and resources held in trust by the federal government.

A German citizen who crashed a drone into a lake in Yellowstone National Park this summer has been banned from the park for a year and was ordered to pay $1,600 in fines and restitution.
Andreas Meissner of Koenigswinter, Germany, was charged after a drone he was using to shoot video of a charity bicycle ride through the park crashed near the Great Village Marina on Yellowstone Lake in July.
Meissner, 37, appeared via telephone in a federal courtroom in the park Sept. 17 and pleaded guilty to violating the ban on drones, filming without a permit and leaving property unattended, KUSA-TV reported. Meissner's sentence included a year of unsupervised probation.
Divers recovered the drone 10 days after it crashed and the National Park Service seized the equipment.

The U.S. Forest Service is finalizing plans to fine photographers who shoot on federal wild lands without a permit.
Under the measure, still photography and commercial filming in Congress-designated wilderness areas would require a permit, and shoots would also have to be approved and meet certain criteria like not advertising any product or service and being educational.
Permits would cost up to $1,500, even if someone was taking photos or video with their phone, and fines for shooting without a permit could be as high as $1,000, according to the Oregonian. A spokesman for the Forest Service did not immediately return a request for comment.
Critics have characterized the rules as too vague and say it infringes on the First Amendment's free speech clause.

The Vatican put its former ambassador to the Dominican Republic under house arrest Tuesday after opening a criminal trial against him, the first time a high-ranking Vatican official has ever faced criminal charges for sexually abusing youngsters.
Josef Wesolowski had already been defrocked in June after the Vatican's canon law court found him guilty of abuse and imposed its toughest penalty under church law: laicization, or returning to life as a layman.
On Tuesday, the Vatican City State's separate criminal court opened a preliminary hearing into his case and ordered him placed under house arrest.
The Holy See recalled the Polish-born Wesolowski in August, 2013 after the archbishop of Santo Domingo told Pope Francis about rumors that Wesolowski had sexually abused teenage boys in the Caribbean country. Prosecutors there say he allegedly paid boys to masturbate.

A prominent Uighur academic sentenced to life in prison called Wednesday for "peace", his lawyer said, as China hit back at western powers which accused it of silencing a moderate voice.
Analysts say the sentencing of Ilham Tohti -- a persistent but moderate government critic who spoke out for the rights of the mostly-Muslim Uighur minority -- on charges of "separatism" risks inflaming tensions in the restive Xinjiang region.
"Peace is a gift from the heavens to Uighurs and Han (China's majority race)," Tohti said from prison, his lawyer Li Fangping told AFP. "Only with peace and kindness can we create a better common environment."
Li said Tohti has been forced to wear painful leg irons and is confined to his cell 24 hours a day with six convicts found guilty of crimes including drug dealing, rape and murder.
The court's decision -- which includes the confiscation of all his personal property -- has been seen as unusually harsh, and comes amid a broader crackdown on what the state claims is a terror-backed independence movement in Xinjiang.

Seattle residents who throw too many pizza crusts, coffee grounds and uneaten leftovers in their regular garbage will now face a fine, in one of the toughest mandatory composting efforts in the country, officials said on Tuesday.
The Seattle City Council voted on Monday to impose a $1 fine on residents each time they fill more than 10 percent of their home garbage with compostable waste, such as food scraps and paper products. Repeat offenders could see the fine increase to $50.
Seattle, long seen as a leader in urban sustainability and recycling efforts, is the second major U.S. city after San Francisco to make composting mandatory in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change, environmental officials said.
Mandatory composting in Seattle will be enforced by Seattle trash collectors, who will enter violations into a computerized system. Offenders will then receive a notice on their garbage bin that a fine will be included on their next bill.

Elvis Presley. Marlon Brando. Andy Warhol. The A-list trifecta of music, film and art is going on the auction block at Christie's in November.
"Triple Elvis (Ferus Type)" and "Four Marlons" rate among Warhol's most famous portraits. The monumental paintings, each nearly 7 feet (2.1 meters) high, have never appeared at auction before and could bring a combined total of $130 million when they go up for bid on Nov. 12.
The Elvis, executed in ink and silver paint in 1963, depicts the rock 'n' roll heartthrob as a cowboy, armed and shooting from the hip. The Brando silkscreen, created three years later, shows the Hollywood actor on a motorcycle and black leather jacket, an image that's repeated four times.
Both are being sold by German casino company WestSpiel, which acquired them in the late 1970s for one of its casinos.
Conductor Christopher Hogwood, who pioneered the performance of 18th-Century composers like Bach and Handel on historically authentic instruments, has died. He was 73.
His website said he died Wednesday at home in Cambridge following an illness lasting several months.
In 1973, Hogwood founded the Academy of Ancient Music, an ensemble that played on period instruments and in period style as discerned from historical research. The result was a lighter, clearer sound now considered to better represent what the composers intended.
Hogwood made more than 200 albums with the academy, including a 1980 performance of George Frideric Handel's much-loved oratorio "Messiah" that BBC Music Magazine ranked as one of the top 50 recordings of all time. He also had served as artistic director of the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston.
Soviet-era cosmonaut Anatoly Berezovoy, who led the first expedition on board Russia's final Salyut space station, died Saturday (Sept. 20). He was 72.
Chosen to be a cosmonaut in April 1970, Berezovoy made his first and only spaceflight 12 years later as commander of the Soyuz T-5 mission to the Salyut 7 space station. Launched on May 13, 1982, Berezovoy and flight engineer Valentin Lebedev spent a then-record 211 days aboard the orbiting outpost, which was the last of its type before the launch of the Mir space station in 1986.
During his expedition, which was flown under the call sign "Elbrus," Berezovoy and Lebedev operated cameras and a telescope, materials processing furnace, and plant growth chamber. The two crewmates also deployed a small radio communications satellite, which the Soviet Union claimed as the world's first satellite to be deployed from a manned spacecraft (NASA's space shuttle Columbia would launch with two communication satellites on the STS-5 mission later that same year).
Berezovoy and Lebedev also made a two-hour, 33-minute spacewalk on July 30, 1982, to retrieve material exposure samples and replace equipment.
The two cosmonauts were visited by four robotic resupply ships and two crews. Among Berezovoy's and Lebedev's temporary crew members were the first French citizen to fly in space, Jean-Loup Chrétien, and the second woman in space, Soviet cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya, as well as Vladimir Dzhanibekov, Alexander Ivanchenkov, Leonid Popov and Alexander Serebrov>.
Berezovoy and Lebedev returned to Earth from the Salyut 7 space station on Dec. 10, 1972 on board the Soyuz T-7 spacecraft. Touching down in heavy snow and on uneven land, which caused their capsule to roll down a slope, the two cosmonauts - already weak from being in space for so long - spent the night with recovery personnel, waiting for a helicopter to come the next day.
In total, Berezovoy logged 211 days, 9 hours, 4 minutes in space.
Although he served as a back-up commander for several other Soyuz flights, Berezovoy did not fly again. He retired from the cosmonaut corps in October 1992 after suffering injuries in an armed robbery.
Anatoly Nikolayevich Berezovoy was born April 11, 1942, to a Ukrainian family in the Russian village of Enem. He attended the A.F. Masnikovin military flying school, where he graduated in 1965.
During his time on Salyut 7, Berezovoy penned a 92-page diary, in which he recorded his space experiences for his wife, Lidia Grigorievna, and their two children, Sergei and Tatiana (then 13 and 8 years old, respectively).
After leaving the cosmonaut corps, Berezovoy served as vice president of the Cosmonautics Federation of Russia from 1992 to 1999. In 1995, he campaigned for a seat in Russia's parliament representing the Republic of Adygea, but lost in the election.
