Hillary Clinton to hold fundraiser for McAuliffe

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to headline her first political event since leaving the State Department, raising money for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe.

Two Democratic officials familiar with the plans say Clinton will hold a small fundraising reception at her Washington, D.C., home on Sept. 30. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the event.

McAuliffe is a longtime Clinton friend and former Democratic National Committee chairman. He faces Republican state Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in the fall election.

Clinton has avoided political gatherings since departing as President Barack Obama's secretary of state this year.

She is considered the Democrats' leading contender for the White House in 2016 but has not announced her intentions.

The fundraiser was first reported by Politico.

Not Guilty, but Not Innocent Either

BBC's Broadchurch

Photo courtesy of BBC America

Broadchurch, an eight-episode series that begins this Wednesday night on BBC America, is the only show about the murder of a child that I have ever found spiritually salubrious. It?s not just that Broadchurch demonstrates that it is possible to reinvigorate something as tired as the hunt-for-a-killer genre with solid, engaging craftsmanship?though it does?but that unlike so many in the genre it is inordinately emotionally generous. Despite its wrenching premise, Broadchurch?s view of human nature is not that it?s fundamentally malignant. That?s not to say there is no bad guy?there is, and the reveal is a gut punch?but that the show takes its underlying precept,?that everybody is unknowable,?and plays it all the way out, honestly: We don?t know what lies in the hearts of men, but it can?t all be evil.

The coastal English town of Broadchurch is a small, close-knit community where a man can walk the streets in the morning and say hello to nearly everyone he passes. As the show begins, 11-year-old Danny Latimer has just gone missing. He regularly leaves the house before his 16-year-old sister and young parents (Andrew Buchan and the great, anguished Jodie Whittaker) to do a paper route, so his mother doesn?t realize his absence until midday. Just as she has begun to panic she hears that a body has been found on the beach. It?s Danny.

Tasked with solving a very rare violent crime in this part of England is DI Alec Hardy (David Tennant, Doctor Who before the current Doctor Who), a brusque, stubbled detective, new to town and hiding a serious health condition, and DS Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman), a long-time resident, just back from maternity leave.* Hardy has previously botched a high-profile prosecution of another child murderer by losing evidence, and seems to have fled to Broadchurch in hopes of escaping the guilt and ignominy of that case. As he walks to the body on the beach, he mutters to himself, ?Please, not again,? a moment of fear and anxiety he does not share with his new colleagues, to whom he is blunt and persnickety.

Ellie, as she prefers to be called?though Hardy refuses to?had been promised Hardy?s job, but upon her return learns she has lost it. She finds her new boss?s bad manners and know-it-all attitude irritating, and regularly tells him so. She is feisty and loveable. (When she tells a group of reporters she will cut off their balls if they don?t leave the family alone, Danny?s sister tells Ellie?s son, ?Your mum is awesome.? He says, ?I know,? and so do we.) But she?s also relatively na?ve. It?s hard for her to believe anyone in her small town is capable of the crime. She knows everyone, he knows no one, he suspects everyone, she has a hard time suspecting anyone, but there is still a reason he?s the boss. Life is not fair: An 11-year-old boy dies and, unfortunately, the person with an optimistic outlook on human behavior does not know more about heinous crimes than the jaded veteran.

Broadchurch, past its opening incident, is not a violent show. It?s not even, particularly, a menacing show. Finding the murderer does not involve many tense, breathless scenes in which the detectives find themselves in close proximity to danger. Rather, it unfolds in the slow-burn manner of highbrow mysteries these days, like Top of the Lake or The Killing: Grieving and sleuthing are given equal weight. Initially the show seems to be making the banal point that the residents of this bucolic town are not what they appear at first glance. But they are not what they appear at second glance either. Over the course of the investigation, various suspects?and not just suspects, but a man who may or may not be a psychic, a caustic news reporter, even DI Hardy?are closely examined and found to be troubled and traumatized, their closets filled with skeletons, shady and suspicious but doing the best they can. If people are capable of anything, then they are capable of everything: not just murder, but regeneration, stupidity, grief, remorse, sadness, love. You don?t have to be entirely innocent not to be guilty.

All of this empathy lulls you. By the time the murderer is revealed, it hurts, and badly. And even then, Broadchurch does not chalk it up to anything as comforting as evil: The murderer is not as vile as it would be soothing for a murderer to be. And that only makes it worse: This horrible crime might not have been committed, but it was, forever saddling characters who don?t deserve it with exactly the sort of traumatic past that haunts so many of Broadchurch?s troubled residents. Violent crimes live on and on. Broadchurch is more compassionate to its survivors than any crime show I?ve seen.

Correction, Aug. 7, 2013: This review originally misstated Alec Hardy's rank. He is a detective inspector, not a detective sergeant. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

UsedEverywhere in the community

Long before she became the marketing director for UsedEverywhere.com, Lacey Sheardown was a borderline-obsessive user of the classifieds site.

?I was always on there ? I was an avid user,? she says with a laugh. Her Victoria home is filled with furniture and other unique items she bought or found for free on UsedEverywhere. ?So when I got this job, my friends were like, ?Yeah, that makes sense.??

But what drew Sheardown to the site was more than the satisfaction of treasure hunting. Unlike other classifieds sites out there, this was a place where she could look for a new coffee table without stumbling across an ad for a casual NSA encounter at the local park.

?We?re actually family friendly,? she says. Across more than 80 cities and towns, the site has a real, live monitoring team, checking ads every hour of the day, ensuring quality content and dependable transactions. ?Your kid can surf our site and you can be comfortable with it.?

UsedEverywhere.com is now owned by Black Press. It has as many unique visitors in Canada as Craig?s List and is the number one free classified site in Ottawa, Victoria and PEI. The site includes an informative blog and Facebook page.

As much as the site is about buying and selling, it?s also about connecting people, building community, on and off-line, with a flesh-and-blood UsedEverywhere community coordinator working locally.

Following the flooding in Alberta, the site encouraged Albertans to donate items for flood victims on its four sites in the province: UsedCalgary.com, UsedRedDeer.com, UsedCentralAlberta.com and UsedEdmonton.com.

In Vancouver, you might find the community coordinator at the farmer?s markets or most recently at the Vancouver Children?s Festival where UsedEverywhere was a major sponsor. They are also involved with projects such as a car and booster seat recycling program that took place last month (they recycled 83 expired seats) as well as a new initiative in the next month to work with local business, allowing them to advertise on the site and connect with buyers.

Their community coordinators even look for personal opportunities to help locally through the Angels program. Last year, for instance, they helped a Vancouver woman undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer by finding breast milk for her baby.

Sheardown says community involvement is a big component of the company?s DNA.

?It?s a social responsibility,? she says. ?Our site is about reusing, reducing and recycling and so being a part of the community and helping in other ways is connected that.?

Even though the site has been embraced mostly by professional mothers like Sheardown, she says it appeals to other demographics as well.

?My husband is on his site, on his phone, hitting refresh every 10 minutes,? she says laughing. ?We think he has a bit of a problem.?

So what?s the coolest thing she got on UsedEverywhere?

It?s a large stereo cabinet that was brought over from Europe after the Second World War.

?They had the clothes on their backs, 20 bucks and this giant, enormous stereo cabinet. And we got it for free!?

It?s the bonus of hearing a story or meeting new people that Sheardown appreciates about using the site.

?There?s always history with the item or you meet an interesting person,? she says. ?Hearing those stories is great.?
