Laverne Cox First Transgender Figure At Madame Tussaud's - Video
Madame Tussauds Announces First Transgender Figure in the History of Madame Tussauds in Honor of Pride Month Madame Tussauds San Francisco is proud to announce Laverne Cox as the first transgender figure in the museum’s history SAN FRANCISCO, CA, JUNE 8, 2015 – Madame Tussauds announced Laverne Cox will join Madame Tussauds San Francisco in Fisherman’s Wharf as the first ever transgender figure in the long history of Madame Tussauds to celebrate Pride Month. Madame Tussauds has a rich history of being on the forefront of the latest news and global activities. Her legacy began as a “traveling newsstand”, a reliable source that visually depicted the relevant news of the day. Now as a museum, Madame Tussauds strives to revitalize these early roots through showcasing the significant and revolutionary figures in our world today. Emmy-nominated actress and Emmy winning producer, Laverne Cox, is known for her groundbreaking role as the first Trans woman of color on the Netflix original series Orange is the New Black, and her advocacy in the LGBT community. As a result of her empowering messages, Ms. Cox has the Stephen F. Kolzak Award from GLAAD, the Courage Award from the Anti-Violence Project, The Community Leader Award from the LGBT Center of New York City, the Reader’s Choice Award from “Out Magazine”, was named one of the Grio’s 100 Most Influential African Americans and one of the Top 50 Trans Icons by the Huffington Post, among others. Additionally, Ms. Cox’s work as an actress and advocate landed her on the cover of TIME Magazine as well as an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series”. “I am so deeply honored to have been asked to be part of the Madame Tussauds legacy,” says Ms. Cox. “When I think about being who I am, a black trans woman from a working class background raised in Mobile, Alabama, this honor feels even more improbable and extraordinary. I hope that this will be a source of inspiration for every one who encounters it to believe that their dreams matter and are possible.” Madame Tussauds is honored to celebrate Ms. Cox’s outstanding achievements and the historic impact she has made through raising awareness and her stance on equality and inclusion within the LGBT community. Ms. Cox’s figure will be released during Pride Weekend at the SF Pride press conference on June 26, 2015.

Was Teresa Obert Paid By ESPN For Hope Solo Interview?
Was Teresa Obert Paid By ESPN For Hope Solo Interview? - Video
Did ESPN Pay Teresa Obert Hope Solo's Half Sister For Domestic Violence Interview? ESPN's Mark Fainaru-Wada did a really good job of laying out the story of the fight between Hope Solo and her half sister Teresa Obert - and which led to domestic violence charges filed against Solo - from Ms Obert's point of view. It was painful to watch and to listen to because it reveals a family that has a toxic relationship. But two questions came to my mind: first, did anyone at or associated with ESPN pay Teresa Obert to give the interview? Second, how did ESPN come to get the interview? Up to 2011 ABC, which owns ESPN, did pay licensing fees for interviews. This was stopped in 2011, when ABC News President Ben Sherwood put the stop to that. But Sherwood is gone as of last year. So the question remains: did ESPN or anyone or group associated with it pay Teresa Obert to be interviewed? It's common practice to do that. MSNBC paid me for being interviewed by Caught On Camera in 2011. What about this case?

Oakland Athletics Stadium At Howard Terminal Bad Idea
Oakland Athletics Stadium At Howard Terminal Bad Idea - Video
Oakland Athletics Stadium At Howard Terminal A Bad Idea This to anyone still considering Howard Terminal at The Port Of Oakland as a site for the Oakland Athletics: don't. There are several reasons for this. First, a 2001 study by HOK revealed that while Howard Terminal was the second-best ranked site for an Oakland A's stadium, it was also $100 million more costly to build than at the Oakland Coliseum. In the study, Howard Terminal required $38 million in traffic improvement expenditures and another $75 million in parking-related costs versus $6 million and $43 million (which points to two parking structures that aren't really needed given nearby land that could be used) at the Oakland Coliseum. And if there's not that, how about the February 25th 2014 letter from a group of concerned citizens and written by Eric Sauer of The California Trucking Association to then-Oakland Mayor Jean Quan? That letter offered a blistering set of environmental concerns which taken as a whole point to one thing: a lawsuit. And how about the comments of legendary Oakland architect Vivian Khan of Kahn Mortimer Associates, who came out as a powerful objector to the proposed project? The point is, there's too much extra cost and too much opposition to a plan that doesn't even have the backing of Oakland Athletics Owner Lew Wolff. He's not jazzed about the plan, either. I've told Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf for the past six months that we need a sports task force of Oaklanders who bring institutional memory to the effort of smartly retaining our sports teams – we still don't have one. Oakland needs to become a city that knows how to complete big projects. We can't do that with another group of politicians just playing personal wish list, rather than determining how we can pay for a stadium project, and then implementing a plan to do so. The reason why Oakland's in its current situation of being on the cusp of losing all of its sports teams, is because of the over-politicized environment we insist on maintaining. Please stop this: enough is enough.
