Russian Church to Pussy Riot: Repent

By NBC News and news services

MOSCOW -- The Russian Orthodox Church on Sunday called for members of the Pussy Riot punk band to repent, on the eve of an appeal court hearing they hope will quash their two-year jail sentences for performing an anti-Kremlin song in Moscow's main cathedral.

The three women - who belted out a "punk prayer" criticizing President Vladimir Putin's close ties to the Russian Orthodox Church - were convicted of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred" by a district court on Aug. 17.


The tough jail sentences they received saw the West sharply criticize Putin and the Kremlin because of doubts over the independence of the judiciary, and global celebrities, including British musician Paul McCartney and U.S. pop singer Madonna, called for leniency for the women.

Vladimir Legoida, a senior church spokesman, said their stunt "must not remain unpunished whatever the justification," but said that any repentance, if expressed, should be taken into account.

Protesters put head covers on sculptures in Norway to show their continued support of the jailed Russian punk rock group called "Pussy Riot." NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.

"The church sincerely wishes for the repentance of those who desecrated a holy place, certainly it would benefit their souls," Legoida said in a speech.

"If any words of the convicts indicate repentance ... we would wish that they are not left unnoticed and those who violated the law get a chance to mend their ways."

A church statement after the August verdict indicated that the clergy would back a pardon or a reduced sentence, but that would have required Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria Alyokhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30, to admit their guilt, something their lawyers say they will not do.

"If they (the church) mean repentance in the sense of a crime ... it definitely won't happen. Our clients won't admit guilt. A call for that is pointless," lawyer Mark Feigin told independent television channel Dozhd on Sunday.

Earlier this month, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that keeping the women?in prison any longer would be "unproductive" ? a statement that encouraged hopes the appeals court could set them free. But skeptics pointed at the Kremlin's ongoing crackdown on dissent, saying that their release would be unlikely.

A recent official opinion poll showed that more than half of Russians are critical of what Pussy Riot did and consider their two-year jail sentence to be a just one, with less than a third saying the opposite.

Members of the band Pussy Riot, arrested in February after storming a Moscow cathedral, were sentenced to two years in jail Friday. NBC's Duncan Golestani reports.

The trio's legal team and relatives hold out little hope that the sentences - which they believe are excessively harsh - will be quashed or reduced at the hearing scheduled for Monday, whether they repent or not.

"The sentence is predetermined; their repentance will not affect it in any way," Stanislav Samutsevich, father of one of the jailed women, told Reuters.

"The fact the church is calling for that is nothing but a public relations move to sustain their reputation in the eyes of the public, as the church says it is separate from the state."

Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, has called Putin's 12-year rule a "miracle of God" and backed his presidential election campaign earlier this year.

Kirill dismissed criticism of his backing for the Kremlin on Friday, telling students that close ties between the church and state helped protect and develop society.

Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Computers You Need A Budget (YNAB)! - ChiefsPlanet

We're YNAB users too. We got YNAB3 in 2009 when they offered a discounted price to a bunch of us on the We're Debt Free board (a Dave Ramsey spin-off) on BabyCenter.com.

I bought YNAB in November, used it for about 6 weeks before it really "clicked" and then we were off and running. I started up a new budget with the new year and have been happily budgeting since. I personally incorporate YNAB's budgeting ideas and mentaility into Dave Ramsey's living debt-free plan and it works well for us. We've paid off about $26k in debt, which is great considering my husband has been laid off more than half of the past 3 years.

For most people, YNAB does take a few weeks or so to "get". It's hard learning to not look at your bank account and think "I have xxx amount of money leftover to spend". With YNAB you give every dollar a job. So when you get paid, every single penny of that paycheck is budgeted towards something, be it your mortgage, your phone bill, your savings, or your video game fund. You can set up sinking funds for things that you know you'll need to buy or spend money on in the future. For example, I know that I have to renew my tags every August. So instead of coming up with the $200 every August (random number), I can put about $17 a month aside into the tags category and come August, it's all there ready to be paid out.

I love YNAB. I really do.

Apple CEO Tim Cook apologizes for lousy iPhone Maps app

6 hrs.

After a week filled with complaints about the new Maps app found in iOS 6, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system, the?company's CEO, Tim Cook, has issued an apology to customers along with a list of alternative apps.

A link to the apology appears on the?Apple website, plainly labeled as "[a] letter to our customers regarding Maps."

Cook begins the note by explaining that while Apple strives to "make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible," it "fell short on this commitment" with the launch of its new Maps app.

"We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better," Cook writes?before explaining that the reason a new version of Maps needed to be created was so that Apple could offer its customer features such as turn-by-turn directions, voice integration, and so on. "The more our customers use our Maps the better it will get and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback we have received from you," he adds.

While Apple's improving its own Maps app, you can use something else, Cook suggests. "You can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps by going to their websites and creating an icon on your home screen to their web app."

One can only imagine how much it pains Cook to suggest that the over 100 million folks who are using iOS 6 at this time should just try a product made by Apple's competitors for a while.

Want more tech news?or interesting?links? You'll get plenty of both if you keep up with Rosa Golijan, the writer of this post, by following her on?Twitter, subscribing to her?Facebook?posts,?or circling her?on?Google+.

Calif. kids' football team hit with bounty scandal

(AP) ? The league president and head coach of a children's football team in Orange County have been suspended amid allegations that players were offered bounties to knock opponents out of games.

The executives presided over last year's Tustin Junior Pee Wee Red Cobras, a team of mainly 10- and 11-year-olds.

The Orange County Register (bit.ly/OsCHwh) says a group of parents alleges that head coach Darren Crawford and an assistant coach offered players cash for getting big hits and for knocking rivals out of playoff games last season. One player suffered a mild concussion.

National Pop Warner officials say Crawford and Tustin President Pat Galentine have been suspended until the program investigates the allegations and issues a ruling.

Crawford, Galentine and former assistant coach Richard Bowman have denied the allegations.

Colbert blames Obama for bacon shortage

By NBC News staff

Comedy Central

Stephen Colbert frets over news of a global bacon shortage on "Colbert Report."

Stephen Colbert was in rare form on Wednesday, offending a laundry list of religions with his political theories behind the pending bacon shortage and the movement to get people praying for a Romney win.

Not surprisingly, the bacon story came first. The expected dearth in the supply of America?s favorite breakfast meat has been all over the news, and Colbert isn?t buying the explanation that a drought is the cause.

?Just think about it -- who?s not supposed to eat bacon? Well, Jews first, but most of the Jews I know eat it anyway. No, I?m talking about the really observant Jews -- Muslims. They won?t even touch bacon. Which means this bacon shortage is nothing less than creeping Sharia law.?

And like the commentators whose opinions he channels, Colbert knows who?s at fault.

?You know who I blame? Barack Obama. I have been warning you for years about his kowtowing to Islamic extremists, and now the chicken schwarma is coming home to roost,? he said. The next thing you know, Cat Deeley is hosting ?So You Think You Can Dervish.?

Which would be far from the most bizarre reality show on TV today.

Praying to save America

But anyone worried that Colbert would spend the whole show on Islam didn?t need to worry. He soon turned the topic over to Christianity. More specifically, the? ?40 Days to Save America? website that asks pastors and congregations to commit to asking God for help electing their desired candidates, arguing that ?prayer + fasting + action equals change?

?That?s amazing. Usually prayer plus fasting plus action equals passing out,? Colbert said.

The pastor behind the movement, Rick Scarborough, helped launch Rick Perry?s presidential campaign with a prayer rally. We all know how that turned out. But as Colbert noted: ?Pastor Scarborough did credit the rally with ending the drought in Texas. So clearly his prayers work on natural disasters, which is a perfect match for the Romney campaign.?

As for its effects?

?This prayer will help Mitt Romney win over undecided voters, especially the biggest undecided voter of them all -- God. I mean, he may be all-knowing, but he would still like to know a little bit more about Mitt?s tax returns," according to Colbert. "In fact, God is three undecided voters ? the father, son and holy spirit. And you have to figure the son is leaning Obama, what with the long hair and the loaves and fishes handouts to the poor. Get a job, hippie!?

But if Jesus is a long shot under that scenario, Colbert thinks this approach has a better shot with God, who as traditionally depicted fits the Romney demographic.

?He?s old, male, vengeful, and he lives in a gated community.?

Big budget boom

But there's someone who doesn't connect with either Romney or Obama, at least when it comes to the bottom line. On Wednesday night's "Late Show," David Letterman spoke with British Prime Minister David Cameron, who scoffed at the billion-plus budgets of American political campaigns.

"It's a really big difference between us," Cameron said of the campaign process. "We don't allow political parties to advertise on television, so that massively cuts the cost."

With applause from the "Late Show" audience, Cameron added, "I've never uttered the words, 'I'm David Cameron, and I approve this message.'"

What's in a name?

In honor of the gathering of the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week, Letterman then turned his focus to a Top Ten roundup on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- specifically, "words that almost rhyme with Mahmoud."

"I'm sure in Iran, it's probably a very common name," the host began, "But to us, it has an odd sound to our ear."

So with the help of a rhyming dictionary and a "special thesaurus," he offered such entries as "muumuu," "Brit Hume," "mom nude," and his No. 1 pick, "Mets booed."

    Stop apologizing more than you should - Business Management Daily

    sorry sticky note on bulletin boardAmber Mac, author and speaker, says that women apologize too much in the workplace, even as they take on leadership roles. In particular, women become inappropriately apologetic when they have to say ?no.?

    Here are the three biggest reasons women apologize and what they can do to curb it:

    1.??Financial expectations. The wage gap remains a stubborn obstacle to women?s financial success. When asking for money, women should be clear about their needs and be tenacious about getting it. Pay attention to the fine print.

    2.??Physical appearance. Women devote more time to grooming than men do, but they still often feel they should apologize for how they look. ?I have heard women apologize countless times if they?re not looking runway-ready at work, due to everything from pulling all-nighters to get a job done or battling sleep deprivation due to taking care of a sick child. Sure, it?s important to look professional in the workplace, but it?s time to lessen the pressure we put on ourselves to look perfect,? Mac writes.

    3.??Professional accomplishments. ?Women are trained to be sensitive to everyone?s feelings, not to be selfish, and not to brag,? says Lisa Bloom, author of Think: Straight Talk for Women to Stay Smart in a Dumbed-Down World. ?These are good traits to have. But we also need to understand that sometimes it?s not appropriate to apologize?like when we haven?t done anything wrong.?

    ? Adapted from ?3 Things Professional Women Should Stop Apologizing For,? Amber Mac, FastCompany.com.

    International Leadership for Women in Business and Politics - Blogs

    New York is a busy place this week, as heads of state and other notables converge on the UN for the General Assembly meetings and the de rigueur Clinton Global Initiative. Despite a schedule packed with sessions mostly focused on the challenging situation in the Middle East, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made time to announce a new initiative, the Equal Futures Partnership?yet another effort to promote the role of women in the world.

    At the launch event, she had by her side leaders from the twelve countries that, in addition to the United States, have made non-binding pledges to increase women?s participation in economic activity and politics. Also at the launch was Jim Yong Kim, the new president of the World Bank. After thanking Secretary Clinton for getting him his new job, Kim noted the particularly hard challenges many women face around the world in business and politics. The World Bank will help track progress made on the Equal Futures Partnership, figuring out valuable lessons learned and what might be applicable elsewhere.

    It is heartening to see that two countries from the Middle East, Tunisia and Jordan, are participating in the Equal Futures Partnership. Tunisia?s foreign minister, who was at the launch event, mentioned how proud he was that Tunisia is a founding member of the Partnership and stressed Tunisia?s pledge to promote woman?s rights. Given concerns about the new Tunisian government?s commitment to gender equality, most recently with respect to controversial language in the draft constitution referring to women as ?complementary? to men, it?s good to see the government making such public statements. Tunisia, which implemented a quota for women in its last national election, and now has almost 27 percent female representation in its parliament, will no doubt have some insights on the effectiveness of such quotas at enhancing women?s political participation. Part of its commitment is also to focus on ending domestic violence?another challenging issue in need of thoughtful leadership.

    Jordan?s objectives are both aspirational and measurable. Besides working to increase women?s influence in politics and government, Jordan also intends to raise women?s participation in the workforce to 25 percent from its current 14.7 percent over the next three years, with a special emphasis on female university graduates. Jordan, like various other countries in the Arab world, enrolls more women than men in universities?but you wouldn?t know this from looking at workforce statistics.

    Some countries? Equal Futures Partnership pledges build on good work already being done. Senegal?s gender parity law has already revolutionized the composition of that country?s parliament: as of elections in July, approximately 45 percent of Senegal?s parliamentarians are women. For its participation in the Equal Futures Partnership, Senegal intends to offer training to new female members of parliament and to make the gender parity laws feasible at the local level prior to local elections in 2014.

    As admirable as the Equal Futures Partnership is, I wondered why the State Department?and not UN Women?is leading it. Michelle Bachelet, director of UN women, was at Clinton?s press conference to cheer it on, but isn?t this type of international initiative exactly what UN Women is supposed to be doing? Troubled from the start by a lack of money and power, UN Women still has not figured out how to punch above its weight.

    Exclusive: North Korea plans agriculture reforms - source

    BEIJING (Reuters) - North Korea plans to allow farmers to keep more of their produce in an attempt to boost agricultural output, a source with close ties to Pyongyang and Beijing said, in a move that could boost supplies, help cap rising food prices and ease malnutrition.

    The move to liberalize agriculture under new leader Kim Jong-un, who took office in December 2011 after the death of his father, would reverse a crackdown on private production that started in 2005. It comes amid talk that the youngest Kim to rule the impoverished North is considering reforms to boost the economy.

    "Peasants will have incentive to grow more food. They can keep and sell in the market about 30-50 percent of their harvest depending on the region," said the source.

    At present, most farm output is sold to the government at a state auction price that has diverged from the market rate.

    It was impossible to verify the plan independently in North Korea, one of the world's most closed states, although the source has proved reliable in the past, predicting North Korea's first nuclear test in 2006 days before it was conducted, as well as the ascent of Kim's uncle, Jang Song-thaek.

    The plans come as some websites run by North Korean defector groups have said the price of rice - a staple food - more than doubled at the end of August from the start of June.

    The surge in rice prices, cited by DailyNK, a North Korean defector website (www.dailynk.com), was driven by a fear of economic reforms that could in fact be punitive, like a 2009 currency revaluation that confiscated most peoples' savings. This report also could not be independently verified.

    North Korea experienced a devastating famine in the 1990s from which its economy has not recovered, and a third of its population is malnourished, according to U.N. estimates. The country needs about 5 million tons of grain and potatoes to feed its people and since the early 1990s its annual harvest has been 3.5-4.7 million tons, according to most observers.

    Experts in South Korea believe the North desperately needs fertilizer to boost yields in a country where soil has been degraded by erosion due to poor farming techniques.

    LOST IN TRANSLATION

    A recent visit to Beijing, North Korea's sole major economic and diplomatic ally, by the youngest Kim's uncle Jang appeared to be aimed at economic reforms in North Korea, whose centrally planned economy is smaller than it was 20 years ago.

    North Korea wants to attract Chinese investment to help it overcome tough sanctions imposed in retaliation for its nuclear tests. Kim also aims to deliver on a promise to make the North a "prosperous" nation by 2012 and to banish memories of his father's austere 17-year rule.

    But it is unclear how far Kim Jong-un can go in liberalizing the economy without losing his family's firm grip on power, most independent analysts say.

    The source said a September 25 meeting of the Supreme People's Assembly, the North's rubber-stamp parliament, was likely to discuss "economic adjustment", but was unlikely to result in any major steps forward.

    The phrase "economic adjustment" has been chosen carefully, the source added, noting the North's decision not to use the old catchcry of its key ally, China - "reform and opening up" - should not be misinterpreted as a lack of reformist will.

    Instead, the source said, North Korea was indeed trying to follow in the footsteps of China but was avoiding the phrase coined by Beijing because of an unfortunate quirk of the Korean language. "It won't be called 'reform and opening up' because it sounds like 'dog fart' in Korean," the source said.

    This is the second time this year that the parliament, which rarely meets, has been assembled this year, triggering speculation in the North Korea-watching community that it could be a forum for announcing major reforms.

    The source said North Korea also planned to make its 1.2 million-strong military - one of the largest armed forces in the world - food self-reliant by modeling its production model on China's armed forces.

    "The food (shortage) problem will hopefully be resolved by learning from the Xinjiang Construction and Production Corps," the source said, referring to the sprawling quasi-military network of state farms and factories in northwestern China intended to secure stability in the restive region by developing the economy and helping control borderlands.

    The Xinjiang corps was founded in 1954 by late vice president Wang Zhen. As of March 2011, more than 2.6 million people lived in the corps' 14 divisions, which cover a combined area of more than 70,000 sq km (27,000 sq miles). The corps owns 179 farms, 1,400 enterprises, 13 listed companies, universities, media outlets and medical institutions, and its output was worth 75 billion yuan ($11.9 billion) in 2010.

    North Korea's military also has significant economic interests and its armed forces are required in part to feed themselves as transport and a central distribution system have broken down, while fuel is in short supply.

    The armed forces also have little to do, experts say, to occupy their time, and so farming is encouraged and praised in visits by Kim Jong-un and by his father Kim Jong-il, whose "field guidance" advice trips were a staple of North Korean state media reports.

    The source said boosting the army's food self-reliance would not be a major change in North Korea's "military first" policy. "Hopefully, the military will become (food) self-reliant. It will be given land to grow its own rice and vegetables."

    Some good replacements for Apple's Maps app

    10 hrs.

    Question:?I just upgraded to iOS 6 and I'm liking most of the new features. However, the new Maps app is terrible. Is there a good replacement that won't send me driving all over the place??

    Answer: You're right???Apple's new Maps app doesn't seem to work that well in a lot of places. Everyone's results are going to vary, of course, but if you're looking for alternatives with a little more pedigree you have some great options. It really depends on what you use Maps for, and how much you're willing to spend. So, let's break it down a bit by the type of Maps user you are.

    Get all the features of Apple's Maps (but better)

    While the turn-by-turn navigation in Maps works really well, the maps themselves aren't that great. If you just want a simple voice navigated maps app that works properly, we really likeWaze because it's free, does traffic updates, has a great location search, and plenty more (pictured on the right).

    Waze doesn't feature the lovely maps used in Apple's version, nor does it have the (not particularly useful) 3D views, but as far as navigation is concerned, it works really well. The bonus is that location search also works a lot better and offers more results than Maps. If you don't mind paying for an app, Navigon does a great job of navigation, has integrated Google business search, and just added public transit guides. It's currently on sale for $39.99.

    Get transit directions and public transportation schedules

    If you rely on public transportation for getting around town, Maps isn't going to do you any good. When you tap on the bus symbol in Maps, you're taken to a screen where you can download new apps. Even when you have one of the suggested apps installed, Maps kicks you out and sends you to another app for your directions.

    Solutions for public transit woes vary depending on where you're located because there isn't a catch-all, great public transportation app that covers the entire country. The good news is that Maps is (kind of) smart enough to suggest apps in the location you're in.?

    If you don't want to futz about with all that, here's a few we've tried that work well:

    • Lumatic City Maps: Lumatic City Maps supports 27 major major U. S.?cities, and offers public transit and walking directions. It also directly integrates data from Yelp, Foursquare, Facebook, and more into your local business searches, provides traditional maps, and is very easy to follow. If you only take public transportation (and live in one of the 27 cities), Lumatic City Maps works great.
    • Hopstop: If you live in one of the cities that Hopstop supports, then the Hopstop app is one of the cleanest, easiest to use transit navigation apps out there. It doesn't have a ton of features, but the schedules seem to be up-to-date, and the directions are easy to follow. Hopstop isn't integrated into Maps yet, but it works fine without it.
    • Navigon: As mentioned above, Garmin's Navigon app also just added public transportation. If you mix up whether you drive or take public transportation, the $39.99 might not be a bad deal.
    • Transit???Public Transit Trip Planner: If you know your way around the city and don't want to deal with directions, just routes, then we really like CG Transit. It doesn't have fancy features ??just timetables and directions.

    Again, as we mentioned, transit apps aren't exactly universal. If you don't live in a major metropolitan city, you'll have to dig a little further to see if your local transportation system has an app of its own. You should also try at least both Lumatic and Hopstop for yourself since they're free, and we couldn't test them in every city they support to see what works best.

    Get Google Maps back???sort of

    Of course, what many people really want is good old Google Maps back. It wasn't without its faults, but the fact it integrates driving directions, up-to-date maps, transit directions, biking and walking directions, and a robust business search, it's very much missed. Chances are Google will release their own version of the Maps app soon, but for now you can at least use the web version pretty easily.

    1. Open up Safari on your iPhone and head to https://maps.google.com/.
    2. Tap the export button in the bottom menu bar.
    3. Tap "Add to Home Screen.
    4. Name the icon, and tap "Add."

    Now you get a direct home screen shortcut to the mobile version of Google Maps. It's not as good as a real app, but it does provide all the features of the original iPhone app in one easy place.

    Make Apple Maps better

    If you actually enjoy Apple's Maps app (it is nice to look at after all), you can contribute to making it better. You can do this in one of two ways. First off, you can report problems with mislabeled streets, satellite images, directions, or other problems:

    1. From the Maps home screen, tap the curled page on the bottom right side.
    2. Tap "Report a Problem" (right above the large "Print" button).
    3. Select Your problem, add any comments, and send it off.

    The other problem with Maps is the fact it gathers most of its business data from Yelp, and that means it's missing a lot of locations. You can add locations in the process mentioned above (in the Report a Problem screen, tap "Location is Missing" and drag the purple pin to the address you want), or add locations directly in Yelp so they show up. Whether you're a small business owner, or you just want to make sure your favorite restaurant is in Apple Maps, adding it to Yelp will eventually get it into Maps.

    That should do it. For a lot of people, Apple's move to its own mapping system has caused some serious problems, and the lack of transit directions is a big bummer even if you only use public transportation on rare occasions. The above methods will get you rolling in style again, and should keep you from making too many bad turns.

    This is why you're single!: Follow up ramble

    Yesterday I wrote that the essentials of writing--for non-fiction in particular--were clarity and accuracy. I wrote that in the context of a rant against cryptic, pretentious writing (and speaking). Today I come in peace; I got the rant out of my system, but I have more to say about clarity and accuracy. Mainly that these two principles often conflict with one another.

    Let's back up a step and restate that principle I hope I hammered home in yesterday's post: when you're writing non-fiction, your foremost goal is convey information in a way that minimizes confusion and exertion on the part of the reader. This principle applies whether you're writing instructions for putting together a bookcase or a dissertation on the history of green tea. Whatever the nature of the information you are trying to convey, your job is to convey it as directly as possible. And in some cases it's not as possible as in others.

    I'm painfully aware of how hard it can be to write well when you have complex information to convey, because that's what I do at work. The reality is that some highly technical information, whether the source of the complexity is scientific, economic, or bureaucratic, is never going to sound pretty; all you can do is minimize the ugly--which becomes all the more important. That's when you have to pay extra attention to ensure, for example, that all the parts of a statement correspond as they should.

    To help us craft our highly complex statements with utmost clarity, we work with editors. I, personally, love working with editors. They'll offer up a quick fix when you're stuck, and they'll let you know when what you've written makes no sense to anyone who's not an expert in the topic. They'll also let you know when what you've written makes no sense, period. But here's the other thing about editors: they focus on clarity and flow, sometimes at the expense of accuracy. They'll say, "how about this?" and you say, "I see how much better that reads, but that's not what we need to say; it's not technically correct. Unfortunately, what's technically correct cannot be stated so simply." Thankfully, the editors I work with are very responsive such protests, and we continue together to work out the best tradeoff between flow and technical accuracy. For us, inaccuracy is not an option. But either is confusion.

    Here's a common example: "Indonesia has the highest population of any Muslim-majority country." One may be tempted to re-write that as "Indonesia has the highest population of Muslims in the world," etc., but that's a very different statement, and not an accurate one. India has the highest population of Muslims in the world (but it is not a Muslim-majority country). When looking for the simplest way to state something, take care that you're still saying what you mean. That may cut away from your clarity (i.e., the reader may have to do a little more work), but that kind of work is included in the reader contract. It's when writers throw in 'extras' that add no value, either in content or form, that the reader has to go into unnecessary overtime.

    The nominated actors posed for a class photo, with many proudly holding their certificates above their heads.

    "This is like graduation," said Elizabeth Moss, nominated for her work on "Mad Men."

    "You get to meet so many people you might not get to see at the Emmys," beamed the newly blonde actress.

    Also among the guests: Martha Plimpton, Loretta Devine, Mare Winningham, Julia Ormond and Eric Stonestreet. Cranston, Louis-Dreyfus and "Modern Family" star Ty Burrell hopped over to the Women In Film party in Beverly Hills after noshing on kale salad, roasted chicken and grilled skirt streak at the official Emmy reception.

    The Emmy Awards will be presented Sunday at the Nokia Theatre and broadcast live on ABC.
