Diane Roark

Diane Roark is an American whistleblower who served on the House Intelligence Committee from 1985 to 2002. She was right after 9/11 "the House Intelligence Committee staffer in charge of oversight of the NSA". Along with Ed Loomis, William Binney, and J. Kirk Wiebe, she filed a complaint to the Department of Defense's Inspector General about the NSA's secret Trailblazer Project. Her house was raided by the FBI in 2007 after she was wrongly suspected of leaking to New York Times reporter James Risen in a story about NSA warrantless surveillance. This led to her suing the government in 2012 because they did not return her computer, which they had seized during the raid, and because the government failed to clear her name.

Roark (musician)

Roark, 27, of Pompton Plains, New Jersey is a singer/songwriter who released his first album "Break of Day" in 2007 under the California-based Love Minus Zero record label.

Roark (Brian O'Neal) fronted the group Casual Blue from 1998 to 2004. Casual Blue built a following on the New York/New Jersey club circuit, but disbanded when band members drifted apart. One of Casual Blue's brightest moments came in 2002, when their song "Blur" was heard in an episode of the television series "Dawson's Creek." After Casual Blue broke apart Brian O'Neal decided to keep pursuing music, so he re-emerged under the name Roark. He chose the name Roark from a favorite novel, Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead," and its protagonist, Howard Roark. "I wanted to take something with meaning, as opposed to just looking through the dictionary for random words."

Roark is the first artist signed on the Love Minus Zero label, a new subsidiary of the Drive-Thru Records label. Drive-Thru has been one of the most successful punk/emo indies of the last decade.

Personnel

Diane (film)

Diane is a 1956 American historical film drama about the life of Diane de Poitiers, distributed by MGM, directed by David Miller, and produced by Edwin H. Knopf from a screenplay by Christopher Isherwood based on a story by John Erskine. The music score was composed by Miklós Rózsa, and Robert H. Planck was the cinematographer, who filmed in CinemaScope and Eastmancolor. The exceptionally lavish costumes were designed by Walter Plunkett.

The film stars Lana Turner, Pedro Armendáriz, Roger Moore, and Marisa Pavan, and features Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Torin Thatcher, Taina Elg, John Lupton, Henry Daniell, Melville Cooper and an early film appearance by Stuart Whitman. It was Turner's last film under her longtime MGM contract and thus marked another stage in the decline of the studio star system.

Plot

The action is set in 16th-century France.

Diane de Poitiers (Lana Turner) becomes the mistress of Prince Henri (Roger Moore), second in line to the throne. Their liaison continues through Henri's arranged marriage to the Italian Catherine de' Medici (Marisa Pavan). Unknown to Catherine, her Medici relations arrange the death of the Dauphin and Henri's ascent to the throne as King Henry II. The antagonism of the two women, abetted by Medici scheming, eventually results in the death of Henri. Catherine, now ruling as regent for her three young sons, banishes Diane but spares her rival's life in a gesture of mutual respect.
