Daryl Hannah ARRESTED at the White House
Daryl Hannah donned a familiar accessory outside the White House today -- HANDCUFFS -- after she was arrested during an oil pipeline protest.
The actress-turned-activist was busted with several other protesters -- when they sat on the sidewalk in front of the White House and ignored three requests by police to move.
Daryl's an old pro when it comes to getting arrested -- saying, " Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom. And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future."

When you are in a (Jackson) Hole, stop digging
The Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, is due to speak in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, later today and according to some of the investment notes that I receive, he is expected to commit that central bank to a third round of credit creation from thin air, otherwise known in these mealy-mouthed days as "quantitative easing." There are doubters out there about the wisdom, or lack thereof, of this. We can of course expect the usual devotees of hard money to scoff at this, but what intrigues me is how some economists in the commercial world are hostile. Take this from Steen Jakobsen , chief economist at Denmark-based Saxo Bank:

The Friday Night Lights beauty and New York Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter have called it quits after a 3-year relationship, according to JustJared.com, who broke the news early Friday.
"They care about each other and it was amicable," a source told People. "They're still friends."

Porn, a carousel and photos of Condoleezza Rice: Inside Gadhafi's opulent palace
Once they would have been arrested for daring to look at the homes of the Gadhafi family. Yesterday ordinary Libyans were able to walk straight in to the grand houses abandoned by the fleeing dictator and his children, and help themselves to trappings of wealth beyond the imagination of most.
Many expressed disbelief at the sheer vulgarity of it all, with gold and marble fittings on display everywhere; others saw touches of insanity in the Gadhafi clan’s bizarre personal tastes.
Jim Carrey to Emma Stone: I Love You!
Jim Carrey wishes he were a much younger man. That way, he could have passionate sex with Emma Stone and produce "chubby little freckle-faced kids."
So the actor himself says in a new video, which is making its way around the Internet and creating a bit of a controversy. Not because Carrey is misguided in his affection for Stone - seriously, have you seen Crazy, Stupid Love or The Help?!? - but because Carrey is 49 and the object of his desire is 22.
Hurricane Preparedness Steps
Now is the time for those in the Southeastern United States to check their preparations for hurricanes. Below is a list of steps I go through anytime there is a hint of a potential storm. These steps were derived from past experiences and lessons I have learned from other Survivalblog.com posts. I do this prep so as not to get caught up in panicked crowds on the days immediately preceding the storm. Should the storm not hit me directly I consider this prepping chance to practice and shore up my supplies.

Tectonic Plates Locations – Earthquake Map
These are the locations of the world’s major plate tectonics. A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest. Plate thickness also varies greatly, ranging from less than 15 km for young oceanic lithosphere to about 200 km or more for ancient continental lithosphere (for example, the interior parts of North and South America)

Should You Get Earthquake Insurance?
Earlier today, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake centered northwest of Richmond, Va., shook much of Washington, D.C., and was felt as far north as New York City and Rhode Island.
The quake sent hundreds of people spilling into the street a block from the White House, with other buildings evacuated in North Carolina. It is believed to be the most powerful earthquake to hit the D.C. area. There are also reports of significant damage to buildings in Fredericksburg VA. Folks all the way up in Clifton Park, New York reported seeing cars rocking on the highways and some business even evacuated their buildings in reaction to the tremors.
But many folks in the northeast regions are not as familiar with earth quakes as are folks who live in California. And as such, I don’t think these folks give the matter of whether or not to buy earth quake insurance a second thought.

OPM chief discusses new diversity initiative
Plans for diversity and inclusion in the federal workforce are taking shape, John Berry, director of the Office of Personnel Management announced Monday at the Blacks in Government National Training Conference.
Berry's remarks followed President Obama's directive, issued Thursday, ordering federal agencies to develop strategic plans to cultivate a more diverse workforce.
In conjunction with the announcement Thursday, OPM launched a diversity and inclusion website.
Berry on Monday cited OPM's previous accomplishments bringing in veterans and people with disabilities, speeding the hiring process and simplifying the recruitment process as evidence that the new diversity program will work. Still, he said, getting minorities into Senior Executive Service positions is an area that needs progress.

Born to a respected Argentine family, Borges interest in literature was triggered by the books in his father’s library. In 1914 Borges moved to Switzerland with his family, where he learned French and German and also received his bachelor’s degree. While in Europe, Borges also spent a year in Spain, where he joined the Ultraist movement of avant-garde poets.

Piers admires the flexibility of some of their members and praises them for improving from previous rounds, keeping the audience engaged and putting on a "terrific" show. Sharon agrees, saying that she loves what they do and that they display such infectious enthusiasm, though she admits that it's not as good as past weeks. Howie sides with Sharon, claiming that it didn't share the same "exuberance" as past acts and that they didn't step it up from the quarter-finals.

US Open Tennis Preview (Ladies)
The US Open tennis kicks off next week, running from August 29th to September 11th. Check out part two of the RoundersPalace.com US Open preview – the Ladies tournament – where Serena Williams is the hot favourite to take the title at Flushing Meadows.
Serena Williams
Serena Williams was off the court for a year prior to Wimbledon, yet she still managed to make the last 16 before succumbing to Marion Bartoli. Since then, she has won two WTA titles but pulled out of a third due to an injury to her foot. Williams is clearly back to something close to her dominant best and if the foot injury isn’t serious, it’s very easy to see why the bookmakers rate her as a clear favourite for the 2011 US Open.

Rant & Rave: An awkward trailing vine at the nursery
Rave To the nice employee at Swanson's Nursery who came up quietly behind me and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, you'll have to return to the restroom — you have a long trail of toilet paper hanging out the back." Indeed, I did — at least 2 feet long. I applaud her graciousness and thank her for making me painfully snicker at myself.
Rant To aggressive petition-takers trying to get passers-by to sign their petitions. Lighten up. No one wants to be browbeaten or insulted. You're defeating the purpose of the cause you represent.
Libya News
Here in the sixth month of what was supposed to be a few days of NATO’s war in Libya, it seems Muammar Gadhafi may be on the verge of being ousted from power. The rebels have expanded their control of a number of cities and towns outside of the de facto rebel capital Benghazi and have now invaded Tripoli, Gadhafi’s last stronghold. Rebels marched within two miles of the city center, as Gadhafi’s defenders melted away, his presidential guard surrendered, and his two sons were arrested, according to rebels.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Gaddafi’s government, Moussa Ibrahim, said he was ready for immediate negotiations with rebels through the head of the National Transitional Council, and has asked NATO to convince the rebel forces to halt an attack on Tripoli. Signaling his desperation, he appears to recognize he has nearly lost.
Jackie Chan Death Hoax
Nearly 150,000 Jackie Chan fans have “liked” a page memorializing the action film star… despite the fact Jackie Chan is, in fact, alive and well.
The page, originally called “Jackie Chan R.I.P 08/17/2011″ and now just called “Jackie Chan R.I.P” (perhaps for the next time “Jackie Chan dead” becomes a Twitter trending topic?) has been instrumental in pushing forward this incarnation of the Jackie Chan death hoax. For some reason, Chan can’t stay alive in the internet death hoax rumor mill this year. In March, news of his death spread virally on Twitter, and fans of the Rush Hour star poured out condolences until it became apparent Chan had not died of a heart attack as the rumor claimed.

Watchmen Costumes
This year, Watchmen costumes have become incredibly popular for Halloween and other science fiction gatherings. Silk Spectre, Night Owl, The Comedian, Dr. Manhattan – all of the popular characters from the best-selling graphic novel have stolen the Halloween spotlight, thanks to the release and continuing popularity of the smash hit movie by the same name.
Watchmen costumes offer a large variety of characters to choose from, so you’re sure to find one that speaks to your inner superhero. They’re perfect for individual costumes, and would work great if you’re looking for a theme for a family or group of friends. Night Owl and Silk Spectre would make great Watchmen costumes for couples. Most of the characters are dressed in relatively simple costumes, making them easy to imitate and comfortable to wear.
