    George Martin, the perfect catalyst for the Beatles' success
    Mar 9,`16 - The Beatles were a miracle not only of talent, but of chemistry. No producer was better suited for them than the resourceful and open-minded Sir George Martin, who dedicated himself to serving their vision instead of imposing his own. And no act Martin worked with before or after approached the Beatles' historic power.

    Emmy-award winning actress Doris Roberts, best known for her role as meddlesome Marie Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond, died Sunday. She was 90.

    Roberts received five Emmy Awards, earning one in 1983 for a guest appearance on St. Elsewhere, and four for her work on Everybody Loves Raymond. TMZ first reported the news Monday afternoon, and Roberts' co-star, Patricia Heaton, confirmed it on Twitter. "My wonderful TV mother-in-law and ELR nemesis Doris Roberts was a consummate professional from whom I learned so much," Heaton wrote. "She was funny and tough and loved life."

    Roberts was born Doris May Green in St. Louis, and briefly studied journalism at New York University. She made her Broadway debut in 1955 in The Time of Your Life and appeared in her first film, Something Wild, in 1961. Over the course of her career, she had guest roles in numerous television shows, including Soap, All in the Family, Rhoda, Full House, Perfect Strangers, Desperate Housewives, and Grey's Anatomy, and in 2002, testified before the Senate Special Committee on Aging about age discrimination in Hollywood. She is survived by her son, Michael, and three grandchildren. Catherine Garcia

    if that was true he would have warned us about all those right wing do-goody evangelists who engage in sexual deviation - but if you actually read the New Testament, Jesus was more concerned about the poor and injustices done to them
