Red Riding Hood

Hmm, your idea definitely has merit, estrelas. I haven't watched the film myself, but I know the plot well enough. I would love to role play this with you, and the fact that this will have romance and violence in it makes me squeal with glee.
If you're haven't found anyone already, and still are interested, then I would love to roleplay with you. :)

Amanda Knox hires DC lawyer as literary agent (AP)

SEATTLE ? Amanda Knox says she's hired a Washington, D.C., lawyer to help her land a book deal after an Italian court cleared her and her ex-boyfriend in the killing of her British roommate.

Knox family spokesman Dave Marriott says Robert Barnett will represent Knox in discussions with publishers and help her evaluate other opportunities.

Barnett has represented the literary interests of U.S. Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, as well as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Knox returned to her hometown of Seattle in October after she was cleared in Meredith Kercher's death.

The 24-year-old had been in custody since 2007, and experts have suggested she could score a seven-figure book deal. She hasn't granted any interviews since her release.

Judge orders Mindy McCready: Return son to Florida (AP)

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. ? Country singer Mindy McCready said Thursday she would not bring her 5-year-old son back from Tennessee to Florida, despite violating a custody arrangement and a judge's order.

McCready took the boy during a recent visit at her father's southwest Florida home and a judge signed an order Thursday ordering authorities to take the boy into custody and return him. It's not yet clear whether she could face criminal charges.

"I'm doing all this to protect Zander, not stay out of trouble," McCready wrote in an email to The Associated Press on Thursday. "I don't think I should be in trouble for protecting my son in the first place."

McCready says she is in Tennessee and it is looking less likely that she will bring her son back to Florida. She says she cannot travel because she's nearly seven months pregnant with twins. There was no answer at a Nashville address for McCready.

The judge's order means law enforcement anywhere can pick up Zander and bring him back to Florida.

McCready and her mother have had a long custody battle over the boy. Until recently, the boy was living with McCready's mother. Her mother was awarded guardianship in 2007. McCready says her son has suffered abuse at her mother's house; her mother, Gayle Inge, denies the abuse allegations.

"Once the child is located, we will pick him up and bring him back to Florida," said Terri Durdaller, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Children and Families. "Although these circumstances are unfortunate for a young child, his safety and well-being are our number one priority."

Durdaller said any criminal charges would come at the discretion of law enforcement or the Lee County (Fla.) State Attorney's office.

McCready provided a series of emails to the AP with Lee County Judge James Seals' ruling to return the boy and correspondence with her attorney. Seals wrote to McCready's lawyer that once the boy is back in Florida "we'll pick up the pieces."

"Mom has violated the court's custody order and we are simply restoring the child back into our custody," the judge wrote. "Nothing more. Nothing less. The court makes no judgment about whether Mom will or will not competently care for the child while in her custody. It only wants the child back where the court placed him."

McCready was born in Florida and found fame in Nashville as a singer in the mid-1990s, including a No. 1 hit, "Guys Do It All the Time." She has lived a complicated life in recent years.

In August, she filed the libel suit in Palm Beach County against her mother and the National Enquirer's parent company, American Media Inc., over a story published in the tabloid newspaper that quoted Inge.

In July 2007, she was accused of scuffling with Inge and resisting arrest at her mother's home in Florida. She was sentenced to jail for 60 days for a probation violation and released; she served 30 days in jail. She also lost custody of her son.

And in 2008, McCready was admitted to a Nashville hospital after police said she cut her wrists and took several pills in a suicide attempt.

During the TV show "Celebrity Rehab 3" in 2010, McCready came off as a sympathetic figure, and host Dr. Drew Pinsky called her an angel in the season finale.

Also in 2010, police went to Inge's home for a report of an overdose, and McCready was taken to a Florida hospital. However, neither the hospital nor McCready's publicist would say why the singer was hospitalized.

McCready also fought the release of a tape in which she reportedly talked about former Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens, with whom she had an affair as a teenager.

Unusual weather system produces destructive winds

The winds reached 97 mph at one mountain peak. More than 380,000 homes lost power. Thousands of trees snapped, blocking roads and damaging property. Scores of schools were closed, as was Griffith Park. And motorists battled gridlock caused by broken traffic signals and blowing debris.

The storm, which produced some of the strongest wind gusts in more than a decade, was caused by a highly unusual weather system that even had experts marveling at its power.

While Santa Ana winds are common this time of year, this storm was anything but.

PHOTOS: Sana Ana wind damage

The winds were produced by two separate weather systems that channeled cold air from the north into the Los Angeles area.

A clockwise high-pressure system was parked over Northern California and the Great Basin as a counter-clockwise low-pressure system hovered over Arizona.

Like two massive gears spinning in opposite directions, the systems funneled the winds.

"In some places we've seen gusts over hurricane force, which for the Southwest part of the country is not something that usually happens," said Brian Edwards, a meteorologist for AccuWeather.com. "This is a one-every-10-years kind of thing."

Indeed, the blustery conditions extended across the Southwest, including Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Arizona and New Mexico. In some places, including Utah, wind gusts topped 100 mph.

Experts said one reason for the extensive damage was that the winds were remarkably choppy and unpredictable.

In some places, winds suddenly shifted from 10 mph or 20 mph to more than 80 mph. The shift made trees as well as roofs and power lines vulnerable.

"Everything lined up perfectly," said Bill Patzert, a climatologist for Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Ca?ada-Flintridge.

Trees were no match for the winds, especially those with heavy canopies. Patzert noted that trees in urban Southern California neighborhoods don't have the strong root systems found in more natural environments.

"L.A. trees don't have deep roots. The urban forest is artificial and is primarily watered by lawn sprinklers," Patzert said. "So what keeps our urban forest alive is people watering their lawns, which are not natural, so you don't have deep root systems. So our trees are very vulnerable to Santa Ana events."

Walter Warriner, a Santa Monica arborist and community forester, agreed, adding that the large canopies of many local trees lack strong foundations.

"When you look at a tree above ground there's a ratio of 20 to 1 compared to below ground, so there's not that many roots holding our big trees in place," he said.

While damage was reported across the Southland, communities in the western San Gabriel Valley were particularly hard-hit, including Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, Altadena and La Ca?ada-Flintridge.

National Weather Service meteorologist Eric Boldt said this, too, was unusual.

Typically, the San Fernando Valley and Ventura County get the brunt of such windstorms.

Facebook's 'deceptive' privacy claims: The federal crackdown (The Week)

New York ? With Facebook's $100 billion IPO looming, the FTC subjects the social network to strict new rules that could protect users ? but hamstring Facebook. A concise guide

After asserting that Facebook had made "unfair and deceptive" claims about its privacy policies, the Federal Trade Commission reached a settlement with the social network Tuesday. The settlement, which coincides with reports that an imminent IPO could value Facebook at more than $100 billion, outlines a series of changes to the company's privacy practices. Here's what you should know:

Why are the Feds cracking down?
It's no secret that Facebook has a long, troubled history regarding users' privacy. In?a 19-page complaint, the FTC officially questioned Facebook's claims that it never shares user information with advertisers. Among the agency's other allegations: That Facebook misrepresented the amount of user information third-party apps could access; that it failed to warn users of changes to privacy settings; and that, despite Facebook's reassurances, users' photos and videos often remained accessible long after accounts were deactivated.

?

And what exactly is in this settlement?
First and foremost, the social network will now be required to notify users of changes to privacy settings and have users opt in before changes take effect. Additionally, Facebook must guarantee that all content related to an account becomes inaccessible 30 days after a user deletes his account. Furthermore, Facebook must be more forthright about the degree of security and privacy users can expect regarding their personal information.

How will the FTC ensure that Facebook is complying?
The social network must submit to independent audits of its privacy practices every two years for the next two decades.

How has Facebook reacted?
In a statement posted to Facebook Tuesday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted?that "we've made a bunch of mistakes" and maintained that, prior to the settlement, "Facebook had already proactively addressed many of the concerns the FTC raised." He also announced that two new corporate officers will be charged with overseeing the company's privacy practices.

?

So... what does this mean for me?
"In theory," users can now "rely on information about privacy from Facebook as being accurate and complete,"?says Larry Magid at The Huffington Post. But "users will still have to be vigilant about what they post on Facebook," because there's still a "strong possibility" that personal information will be misused.

Is there a downside?
Mashable's Lance Ulanoff?worries that new red tape could "ruin" Facebook by slowing innovation and making the company overly cautious. "The Facebook bus is not parked, but it may be traveling well below the speed limit ? and you have only the FTC and yourselves to blame."
