Subscribe To The Coen Brothers Return With Inside Llewyn Davis Trailer Updates
I've already subscribed
It was nearly a year ago that Joel and Ethan Coen began production on their latest effort, Inside Llewyn Davis. Inspired loosely by folk singer Dave Van Ronk's memoir The Mayor of MacDougal Street, the 1960s-set drama explores the folk music scene that was brewing within New York City through the titular character Llewyn Davis. The film has long since wrapped and has remained largely mysterious. We still don't know when it's slated for release.
Being that it is a Coen Bros movie, buzz began for the film before casting did. Then, the celebrated directing duo compiled a cast that includes their long-time collaborator John Goodman, Oscar-nominee Carey Mulligan, TRON: Legacy's Garrett Hedlund, Girls' Alex Karpovsky and Adam Driver, as well as Justin Timberlake, and rising ingendude Oscar Isaac. And yet producers have been stingy in releasing images or clips, until now. Check out the film's first trailer below:
Released on what appears to be film's official site, the trailer reveals a bearded and beleaguered Isaac as he crashes around New York and beyond looking to forge a career as a musician. It's a terrific and tantalizing tease. We're shown Mulligan as an embittered ex with a gift for vivid imagery, a glimpse of Timberlake, and Goodman at his growling best. Then, just as we are about to hear what lies inside Llewyn Davis—the man and the album—the trailer ends. Oh, Coens, how you tease, not even giving a hint as to when this promising pic might hit theaters!
If you can't wait for a taste of Inside Llewyn Davis' music, check out this clip of Isaac performing "Dink's Song" at a press event last fall.

BERLIN – With hundreds of local residents joining the throngs of holiday shoppers this weekend, local law enforcement officials this week took the opportunity to remind them of a few common sense practices to ensure they, and their packages, return home safely.
Thousands of holiday shoppers are flocking to area shopping centers, stores and outlet centers this weekend to take advantage of big Black Friday specials, but, unfortunately, there will be an in-kind criminal element ready to take advantage of even the smallest opportunity. It happens every year and local law enforcement agencies step up patrols and increase their visibility.
"Unfortunately, holiday shoppers tend to let their guard down sometimes during the holidays because they're distracted or hurrying from one place to the other, which can make them vulnerable to the criminal element that tends to hang around shopping areas this time of year," Colonel Doug Dods of the Worcester County Sheriff's Office said this week. "Fortunately, we don't have a ton of issues in this area, but there are some out there and they're waiting for an opportunity."
Dods urged shoppers to adhere to the same safety practices they follow the rest of the year. Being hurried or distracted is no reason to abandon the most basic precautions, he said.
"So much of this is just common sense," he said. "Try not to shop alone if you can, and if you can't, try to shop during daylight hours, or when the crowds are largest. Now there are those who prefer to shop during non-peak times to avoid the crowds, but there is strength in numbers, so shoppers should try not to get into situations when they are alone, such as isolated parking lots."
Dods said individuals carrying a lot of bags and packages across dark parking lots can make easy targets for would-be criminals and suggested a few basic safety tips for holiday shoppers. For example, it's a good idea to know exactly where one is parked to avoid walking around aimlessly in parking lots searching for a vehicle. In addition, shoppers should have their keys ready and in their hand before they start looking for their car.
"Have your keys in your hand and get in as quickly as possible," he said. "Again, so much of this is just common sense. You have to be aware of what's going on around you, and if you find your car quickly and get in and get it locked, you can avoid being an easy target."
By the same token, Dods said it's always a good idea to give one's vehicle a quick once-over before getting in.
"Don't automatically just hop in, especially if the vehicle was opened," he said. "We don't see this too often, but there have been cases of would-be criminals getting into cars when they are unlocked from far away. That can create a whole different set of problems."
Ocean City Police public information officer Mike Levy said most people have their best protection from criminal activity on shopping center parking lots right in their hands and forget to utilize it.
"Just about every vehicle these days has remote keys that include a panic button or other alarm device," he said. "People sometimes forget about it, but if they keep their finger on the button as they walk across a dark parking lot toward their cars, they can quickly sound an alarm that will attract the attention of other shoppers and scare off any would-be criminals."
Levy also suggested keeping one's cell phone where it can easily be reached at the first sign of trouble.
"That's another big thing," he said. "Keep your cell phone handy in an easily accessible pocket or somewhere else on your person. Try not to have to stand out there digging around in your purse for your phone if something happens or someone suspicious is following you."
Of course, it goes without saying one should always keep their vehicle locked and, when possible, packages should be stored in the trunk or somehow out of sight.
"These are crimes of opportunity and criminal types take the path of least resistance," said Dods. "Keep your car locked and keep your packages out of sight as much as you can. A car full of packages is an open invitation to theft. Also, take your packages in when you get home and keep your vehicle locked. The possibility of theft doesn't end on the mall parking lot."
Even after the holiday presents have been delivered and opened, the possibility of theft and burglary continue to be a danger.
"Try not to put a lot of boxes outside for the trash or recycling that say 'look what we just got'," said Dods. "That can be an invitation for crime. Also, be aware of what shipping companies you're expecting and when they are supposed to arrive so they don't leave packages sitting on your porch."
Of course, it goes without saying one should keep an eye on their money and their credit cards as some would-be thieves are working behind the counters of stores and not out in the parking lots.
"Unfortunately, when you use credit and debit cards so often during the holidays, your numbers get out there and there are those who would take advantage of that," said Dods. "Check your card activity and balances often. Sometimes, charges can turn up on there that you don't notice because they are hidden in a bunch of other charges."

6,300 wannabe astronauts flood NASA inbox
Second-highest number of applications since 1978
NASA has received the second-highest number of astronaut applications ever for the 21st astronaut class when more than 6,300 people signed up to be space invaders.

The US space agency usually receives around 2,500 to 3,500 applications when it announces astronaut vacancies - but between 15 November and 27 January, NASA fielded the most candidates since 1978, a year in which 8,000 people applied to boldly go.
The successful candidates will get two years of initial training, where they'll be taught a raft of astro-abilities including fiddling with space station systems, Russian and a few spacewalking skills.
However, the eager applicants are going to have some time to wait before they find out if they will be in the queue to blast off the planet, since the final candidates won't be chosen until the spring of 2013.
"We will be looking for people who really stand out," said Peggy Whitson, chief of the Astronaut Selection Board. "Our team not only will be looking at their academic background and professional accomplishments but also at other elements of their personality and character traits - what types of hobbies they have or unique life experiences. We want and need a mix of individuals and skills for this next phase of human exploration."
Whitson didn't mention – although it's implied by the long application process – that patience is going to be a large part of the astronaut game.
Even when the dollars were flowing, frequent trips past Earth's atmosphere weren't really a part of the NASA 'nauts life – it was more like every two or three years. Now that the agency has retired the space shuttles and the government is cutting funding left, right and centre, the current crop of candidates can expect to see space about once every 10 years when they head to the International Space Station.
However, NASA is ever hopeful that Space X and other commercial outfits will pick up the slack and get some regular blast-offs going.
"Our newest astronauts could launch aboard the first commercial rockets to the space station, the next generation of scientists and engineers who will help us reach higher and create an American economy that is built to last," said NASA administrator Charles Bolden. ®

Today, Scrapbook Update and Big Picture Classes are teaming together to announce something that we believe will change the crafts industry for the better.
Improving the quality of press relations in our industry has been a passion of mine for quite awhile. As an editor in the industry, I deal with too many companies who aren't taking full advantage of the opportunities that might be available to them to promote their companies through media relations. This is unfortunate, since effective press relations is the most cost-effective marketing a company can use.
I know that many of our industry's small companies are run by entrepreneurs who are wearing many hats at their company, hats that they may not have formal training to wear. I am in that same position myself, actually, with many of my own responsibilities as a small business owner.
To help these entrepreneurs, I've been looking for ways to provide education to the industry about how to best spread marketing message to editors like myself. At CHA Summer 2010 in Chicago, I was honored to be able to head a panel on Press Relations for Manufacturers.
Now, with the help of Big Picture Classes, I'm happy to be able to offer even more education to the industry's businesses. Today we're launching my class Pro Press Releases, which is available now on the Big Picture Classes website.
Pro Press Releases is a self-paced BPC class, which means students can take the class on their own schedule and at their own pace. You'll learn all about how to create professional and effective press releases, through audio and video messages and downloadable class handouts. The class is priced at $20, a small price for knowledge that is a large investment in your business.
Check out Pro Press Releases at Big Picture Classes today! Learn how to make the most of your press releases!

For the past two seasons in Vanceboro, Michael Coombs has been a workhorse on the mound for the West Craven baseball team.
VANCEBORO � For the past two seasons in Vanceboro, Michael Coombs has been a workhorse on the mound for the West Craven baseball team.
As the squad�s ace, Coombs is battle tested from pitching against top-notch competition such as D.H. Conley and South Central twice per season.
That is quite the progression for a kid who did not pitch until his junior year of high school.
�My junior year, coach McKeel wanted me to throw a bullpen session and it just kind of went from there and I�ve been pitching for us ever since,� Coombs said.
His hard work and rapid development on the mound has earned him a chance to pitch in college for the St. Andrews Knights.
St. Andrews plays in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics or NAIA�s Appalachian Athletic Conference against foes such as Montreat College, Bryan College and Virginia Intermont College.
This year�s Knights team is 25-24 and 12-12 in the league.
Coombs joins his West Craven teammate, catcher Hunter Hackney, as a St. Andrews commit.
�I�ve played baseball all my life, even though I haven�t always been a pitcher. St. Andrews saw me at the state games in the offseason and liked me and said they wanted me to come to school there and play for them,� Coombs said.
�With Hunter (Hackney) already going there, I�m comfortable going there too.�
In addition to being the team�s top arm, Coombs is batting over .300 for the season and plays well defensively in the outfield when he is not on the mound.
Coombs said his composure while pitching is something that the Knights coaches told him they really liked about him.
�I�ve improved a lot on my composure and not letting things get to me out there. They (coaches) told me I throw well and that compared to some other recruits they were looking at, my composure stood out to them.�
Coombs� Eagle coaches, head coach Mike McKeel and assistant coach Justin Morris, have worked diligently to mold Coombs into the pitcher he has become.
�I think with Michael, he will have a chance to play early for St. Andrews because of his command and his composure,� Morris said.
�He has three pitches that can put in the strike zone and as a senior this year, he has been a completely different pitcher in a good way than a year ago.�
Coombs will get the ball in the opening round of the 3-A state playoffs Friday, when the Eagles take on Wilson Hunt.

New Study Has Great News For People Who Were Unpopular In High School
Last year, researchers looking at a massive dataset following high school seniors in Wisconsin found that high school popularity was correlated with higher income later on.
It turns out that the effect might not be from popularity after all, but from family.
When you compare siblings, even if they vary significantly in popularity, they end up in about the same place.
That's great news for the less popular younger siblings of the world.
In an NBER working paper, Yale's Jason Fletcher reexamined the effect of high school popularity on earnings with a much broader dataset, they found about a 2% income boost for each additional friend by age 35. But when comparing siblings and accounting for fixed family effects, that completely disappears.
The Wisconsin survey only allowed people to nominate three classmates as friends, so 60% of respondents didn't get any nominations. This dataset (from a national longitudinal survey) allows for up to 10, and includes a broader range of states and ages, making the result stronger.
This suggests that some combination of family life, genetics, and parenting has more of an effect on future income than high school popularity.
The earlier paper suggested that popularity was a good proxy for well-developed social skills that might help people adjust to the workplace later, and the sort of strong network that helps advance a career.
What you learn at home and how you're raised turns out to mean more.
Here's the table showing the results. In the right-most columns, when family effects are accounted for, the effect of popularity (In Degree) vanishes:

News Story
Davis and Smolyanivov Plasmon Microscope Research Featured in Physical Review LettersProfessor Christopher Davis and ECE Associate Research Scientist Igor I. Smolyanivov are in the news for their work on a high resolution 2-D plasmon microscope. Their work has been accepted for publication in an upcoming issue of Physical Review Letters, perhaps the most prestigious of all physics journals.
The photo above, taken from the article to appear, shows a 100-micron-wide drop of glycerin (dark ellipse) acting as a parabolic focusing mirror in a new technique that can reveal details smaller than a wavelength of light using an ordinary microscope. (The blue is scattered laser light.)

Late last year, in a small health-food eatery called Cafe Sprouts in Oberlin, Ohio, I had what may well have been the most wholesome beverage of my life. The friendly server guided me to an apple-blueberry-kale-carrot smoothie-juice combination, which she spent the next several minutes preparing, mostly by shepherding farm-fresh produce into machinery. The result was tasty. But at 300 calories (by my rough calculation) for a 16-ounce cup, it was more than my diet could regularly absorb without consequences.
Nor was I about to make a habit of $9 shakes, healthy or not. Inspired by the experience nonetheless, I tried again two months later at L.A.'s Real Food Daily, a popular vegan restaurant near Hollywood. I was initially wary of a low-calorie juice made almost entirely from green vegetables, but the server assured me it was a popular treat. I could stomach only about a third of the oddly foamy, bitter concoction. It smelled like lawn clippings and tasted like liquid celery. It went for $7.95, and I waited ten minutes for it.
I finally hit the sweet spot just a few weeks later, in Chicago, with a delicious blueberry-pomegranate smoothie that rang in at a relatively modest 220 calories. It cost $3 and took only seconds to make. Best of all, I'll be able to get this concoction just about anywhere. Thanks, McDonald's!
If only the McDonald's smoothie weren't, unlike the first two, so fattening and unhealthy. Or at least that's what the most prominent voices in our food culture today would have you believe.

6 Freaky Things Your Body Does (Explained by Science)
The human body is a strange and mysterious place filled with gross guts and gurgling magic potions. There are all sorts of confusing or nonsensical processes our own bodies perform that we just shrugged off and accepted way back in childhood. Fortunately, good ol' science is finally here to explain things like …
The Weirdness:
Your eyes are immensely intricate machines built through millions of years of evolution, so it's only reasonable that they should have developed a few glitches along the way. For instance, the dots or squiggly lines that are sometimes visible off to the sides of your visual field. They float around and then dart out of sight immediately if you try to get a good look at the bastards.
These damn things.
And then you have the bright spots that appear in front of your eyes ("seeing stars") when your body suddenly strains really hard. Maybe you sneezed, or pulled an intense, full-body Valsalva maneuver trying to squeeze out a dissident turd, or just rubbed your eyeball.
Both phenomena are completely normal, yet the explanations are weirder than you think.
It Happens Because …
First of all, "eye floaters" are not a) just lint and shit that fell into your eye or b) unusually upstart sperm that got really really lost.
Your eyes are mostly made up of a jelly called vitreous fluid, and this gel undergoes many changes as you age. As it slowly shrinks, it loses its smoothness and starts to look stringy. The vitreous can also become more liquid, and this allows for tiny fibers in your eye to come together and form (relatively) large clumps. These get big enough to become visible and freak us out, but they eventually sink down and settle at the bottom of your eyes where you can't see them. So technically, they're your little buddies for life.
Everyone you love will die, leaving ocular degeneration your only friend.
As for the bright dots that flash and move in front of your eyes, they're called phosphenes, and they're caused when cells in your retina are messed with (by rubbing your eyes or having a large person slap you in the dark), causing them to misfire. Strangely, scientists have found that they can also stimulate phosphenes by running electricity across the visual cortex part of your brain. Try it on a friend!
But wait, it gets weirder: Have you ever gone out and stared up at a clear blue sky, only to see faint white dots dancing around the edge of your vision? Most people can see it if they really look, and it's worth it because you are seeing the goddamned white blood cells shooting through the blood vessels in your fucking eyeball. The blue light causes the vessels and other cells to be invisible to your eye, so you wind up seeing the white blood cells zipping around like tiny ghosts, just chasing diseases and shit. Maybe there's a tiny ship full of scientists in there.
#5. Why Cold Foods Cause "Brain Freeze"
Elena Elisseeva/Photos.com
The Weirdness:
Anyone who has enjoyed frozen treats ranging from ice cream to Slurpees has had, at least once in their life, a brain freeze. The name sums it up pretty well — you're halfway through a tasty dessert when suddenly your head hurts like Ben and Jerry simultaneously drop-kicked your face in some twisted Mortal Kombat finisher. But why would it happen? It's not like a mouthful of frozen treats can actually lower the temperature of your brain or anything (if it could, a single trip to Dairy Queen would kill your ass).
Or preserve you till the year 3000.
It Happens Because …
Researchers at Harvard, the University of Ireland, and the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs teamed up to figure out why the hell such a great thing can be so unpleasant (we guess it's marginally better than spending your tax dollars on another bank bailout). They came to realize that they could trigger the headaches just by placing an ice cube in the subject's mouth and pushing it to the top of the palate, which messes with the brain's thermostat.
The brain wants to keep a constant temperature, so when you're stuffing your head with ice cream, your palate gets chilled and your brain freaks out, thinking you're trapped somewhere near the peak of Mount Everest ("Holy shit, it's so cold here that the inside of his mouth is freezing!"). It opens up arteries to pump more blood to the area to warm it up, but instead of making you super smart, the increased blood pressure just causes an "ice cream headache."
Arvind Jain/Wikimedia
Eating fire's similar; your brain assumes you're in Phoenix.
People usually respond to these shooting pains by pressing their hands to their head, as if manually warming the skull will fix it (which, as you can guess, does nothing). No, the only known way of getting rid of the brain freeze is to warm up the top palate and constrict those arteries back to normal size. Sometimes pressing your tongue against the top of your mouth can help. Or you can shove a Hot Pocket in there, whatever.
#4. Why Orange Juice (and Other Things) Taste Weird After You Brush Your Teeth
The Weirdness:
If you've never tried it, go do it now. Brush your teeth (with toothpaste) and then run to the fridge and take a drink of orange juice. Holy shit! Your sweet, sweet juice has turned into some kind of horrible chemical-tasting cleaning solution. A witch has cursed your refrigerator and/or beverages!
Petr Malyshev/Photos.com
"Stabbing didn't help, now I just taste blood!"
It Happens Because …
Actually, this bizarre reaction was, for some of us, our first childhood introduction to chemistry. The weird horriblization that occurs with orange juice and lots of other foods after brushing is due to a chemical called sodium lauryl sulfate. The white coats making your hygiene products know just how much you like it when your cleaning products foam up, so they have to add totally useless enfoameners (may not be the actual name). The aforementioned SLS is one such animal, and gives you that great frothy mouth-feel you need to make it seem like your toothpaste is doing something.
Jana Lumley/Photos.com
If you're rabidly foaming, it has to be working.
But one side effect of SLS is that it wreaks havoc on your tongue's taste receptors — it numbs the little guys in your mouth that detect sweetness and erodes the fatty shield that blunts the taste of bitterness. For a while, anyway.
So your mouth is getting double-teamed into a gustatory lethargy, which has the effect of significantly changing the way certain foods or drinks taste to you. Obviously it's more noticeable on substances that are normally super sweet yet acidic (other foods may just taste a little lifeless). If this bothers you, there are actually toothpaste brands that don't have SLS or its sweet foaming action. But if you live with someone else, you've got about one day before they start screaming from the bathroom that your toothpaste is broken.

Apple sure is taking baby steps while rolling out ringtone support. iTunes 7.4 took a while to appear on Apple's site, then tried to break custom ringtone support when it did. Demonstrating its new prowess for flipping the switch and enabling features in software after users have downloaded and installed it (remember the Send to .Mac Web Gallery button that suddenly appeared on .Mac users' iPhones?), a new Ringtones source item has suddenly become available in the iTunes software today. Keep in mind that you might have to go to the General pane in iTunes preferences to switch it on.
Taking one step at a time, however, it appears that, as of this writing, actual ringtone tracks have not appeared for purchase in the iTunes Store yet. Edit: It appears as if ringtone-compatible tracks are here and there, but they are very difficult to find!
If you attempt to convert one of your songs purchased from the iTunes Store into a ringtone (easily done by right-clicking and choosing 'Create Ringtone...'), you will be taken to the iTunes Store to make the purchase, and a new Terms & Conditions is presented upon your first attempt to purchase a ringtone. For now, users cannot make custom ringtones from non-iTunes Store purchased files, but look for a writeup from us on how to work around this soon.

George Clooney has stepped up his war of words with hotel and casino magnate Steve Wynn, blasting the tycoon's account of their bust up as "false".
The Ocean's Eleven star got into a heated argument with Wynn and stormed out of a Las Vegas restaurant last month, later accusing him of calling President Barack Obama an "a**hole".
Wynn hit back in an interview on the Bloomberg TV network on Friday, denying he used the slur against the President and branding Clooney "mollycoddled" and "a little into the tequila".
The actor has now responded, releasing a lengthy response to People.com to clear up Wynn's allegations.
He writes, "I will not let his version of the truth go unchallenged. He now says he didn't call the president an 'a******.' That is false. He bellowed 'I voted for the a******,' and then called him the same thing several more times as the dinner came to an abrupt end.
"Again there were eight people at the table, eight witnesses. I did in turn, call him the same body part, and walked out. Again he can make up whatever story he wants, but these are the facts. He said I drank 16 shots of tequila. I didn't drink one shot of tequila, not one. We were drinking but it was early and we still had two events to attend.
"He said I live in a bubble. More of a bubble than Las Vegas? Honestly? He says I'm 'molly coddled,' that I'm surrounded by people who coddle me. I would suggest that Mr. Wynn look to his left and right and find anyone in his sphere that says anything but 'yes' to him…
"Steve is one of the richest men in the world and he should be congratulated for it, but he needs to take off his red sparkly dinner jacket and roll up his sleeves every once in a while and understand what most of the country is actually dealing with… or at least start with the fact that you can't make up stories when eight people who are not on your payroll are sitting around you as witnesses."

Special Ops Body Armor Recalled After Safety Defects Found
(NEW YORK) -- Thousands of body armor plates worn by U.S. Special Operations troops are being recalled after it was discovered that a small percentage of the plates have safety defects.
The defects were identified in less than 5 percent of the Generation III ballistic armor plates that are issued to Special Forces, a spokesperson for United States Special Operations Command confirmed to ABCNews.com.
"The command has also developed and implemented a test that is being used in the field to determine if a plate is defective. All ballistic plates have been tested and Special Operations Forces are performing the test as part of their pre-combat inspection," USSOCOM said in a statement.
An analysis determined the small percentage of plates were defective due to "internal manufacturing and quality assurance processes" during manufacture by Ceradyne, Inc.
"The Department of Defense was actually the one that found this flaw, and it would seem at least from the reporting that there may be some question about whether the company was responsive to fixing it and acknowledging that there was a problem," ABC News military consultant and retired Marine Col. Stephen Ganyard said.
While the California-based ceramics manufacturer is making the new plates, Generation II plates will be issued in exchange for the defective ones, USSOCOM said.
No one has been killed or wounded as a result of the defective body armor, according to USSOCCOM.
The plates, which are inserted into bullet proof vests, have saved countless lives over the years.
"I think the most troubling thing here is that we've damaged the trust that our troops have in their safety kit, and that's a problem," Ganyard said. "The troops ought to be able to go outside the wire and have every confidence that their ballistic plates are going to prevent a bullet from penetrating their vests.
"This has probably shaken their faith in their equipment, and that's the real fallout here," he said.
ABCNews.com was unable to immediately reach Ceradyne for comment.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Job Offer Rescinded After Company Learned of Applicant's Pregnancy, Federal Agency Charged
TAMPA – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced that it filed an employment discrimination lawsuit against Capri Home Care, Inc. for refusing to hire a pregnant applicant into an administrative assistant / billing clerk position at its Clearwater, Fla., facility. Capri Home Care is a home health agency that provides skilled nursing and specialized home health care throughout Central Florida.
According to the EEOC's suit, Capri's management was so impressed with the applicant at her initial interview that they immediately extended her an offer for the position starting the next day. Following orientation on the applicant's first day of work, Capri's sentiment changed after she disclosed she was pregnant. Within an hour, the EEOC said, Capri rescinded its job offer, claiming it had already offered the position to a former employee. A non-pregnant woman was selected several months later, the EEOC said.
Pregnancy discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Middle District, Tampa Division (EEOC v. Capri Home Care Inc., d/b/a Capri Home Care, Case No. 8:11-cv-02211-RAL-MAP) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The agency is seeking back pay and compensatory and punitive damages for woman who was subjected to discrimination. The suit also seeks injunctive relief to prevent and correct pregnancy discrimination, posting of anti-discrimination notices, and training of Capri's managers and employees about equal employment opportunity laws.
"To deny a woman employment because she is pregnant places her and her family in a position of immeasurable harm," said Malcolm Medley, director of the EEOC's Miami District Office. "The EEOC remains steadfast in its commitment to take legal action against those who employ such tactics."
Robert Weisberg, the EEOC's Miami regional attorney, added, "Pregnant women have the right to seek jobs and work in an environment free of discrimination. The EEOC continues, with this suit, to seek vigorous enforcement of the laws that protect all women from this kind of intentional and egregious discrimination."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. The Miami District Office's jurisdiction includes Florida, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.

The Little Spoilers that Kill a Sale
May 10, 2008 2 Comments
Last week, I went looking for a new vehicle for our family. We'd narrowed it down to a good-sized "crossover" SUV from one manufacturer, or a minivan from another.
As always, things look great on paper, but you have to test drive these things to see if they feel right.
I got into the crossover for the test drive, and before we went anywhere, I knew it wasn't going to be the choice. Game over. Eliminated.
Had a similar experience some years back, when I bought a Mazda 626. One of the models I was considering was a Honda Accord – great name, excellent cars, well worth considering. But before turning the key, it was crossed off the list.
Seat belts. Specifically, the anchor points for the front seat belts could not be adjusted high enough, and therefore the seat belt tugged down on my shoulder. Game over.
I'm of average height – a little under 6 feet tall. A lot of people are my size and bigger. And do you mean to tell me that car manufacturers cannot put people my height into a driver's seat during the design phase and check on a little thing like this??
That little spoiler has killed two car sales for me so far, and who knows how many others for drivers who have felt the same.
You can have the greatest reputation for reliability, cool design, top-notch features, but if you don't make me feel comfortable, I walk.
User design matters. Not only in cars, but in software and everywhere else.
What are some of the spoilers you've experienced?

Why Do We Assume Patents Are Valid When Patent Office's Own Numbers Show They Get Things Wrong All The Time?
from the simple-questions deptOne of the bizarre things about the patent system is the "presumption of validity," in which a patent officially has to be presumed valid. Conceptually, this makes very little sense. Patents grant a pretty broad monopoly on "inventions" for an extended period of time... based entirely on approximately 18 hours that a patent examiner has to spend looking over the thing. Do we really think that a patent examiner gets things right most of the time? It seems that even the US Patent Office's own data shows that's simply not true. A friend pointed me to the USPTO's recently released data concerning re-exams (pdf and embedded below), which demonstrates in great detail why patents shouldn't be presumed valid. Basically, the data suggests that an awful lot of patents were handled poorly.
The document notes that 92% of re-exam requests are granted -- meaning that nearly all re-examination requests lead to a re-examination by the Patent Office. So, if most patents were well constructed in the first place, you would imagine that most of them would come through the re-examination process unscathed with no changes, right? Only if patent examiners were really bad at their jobs would a large percentage of patents need to be changed or rejected completely on re-exam. Given the "presumption of validity" that grants a monopoly, and the massive dollar amounts that patents sell for and are able to extract in settlements, you'd think that re-examined patents must normally confirm the original diagnosis. Hell, given that information, I'd hope that at least around 95% of patents, having passed the approval process, would be solid enough to survive the re-exam process untouched.
If the number was below 90%, I'd think the system was in trouble and needed some fixing. If it was below 70%, I'd think that we should be declaring the system a failure. If it was below 50%, I'd be questioning the entire basis of the patent system. So what is it?
Would you believe that only 22% of re-examined patents have all claims confirmed? 22%! That means that 78% of all patents that are granted a re-exam had serious problems with their original claims -- and remember, 92% of re-exam requests are granted. All these patents were initially approved and enjoyed the presumption of validity, which would may have cost companies millions (or more). This isn't just a failing grade. This is an epic disaster. It's true that 67% of the re-examined patents still are allowed with "claim changes", and only 11% are completely rejected, but those numbers are little comfort when we're told that we need to presume all of the claims in all patents are perfectly valid.
Now, some might claim that this number is perfectly fine, because only bad patents get re-exam requests. In fact, you could argue that perhaps these numbers show the system is working in that bad patents get re-exam requests and good patents remain valid. But there's little to no evidence to support that. Already, those who dislike patent re-exams are claiming that patent re-exams are abused with too many good patents getting re-examined. So it certainly appears that all sorts of patents get re-examined... and a very large percentage of them appear to turn out to have been mistakenly granted.
This highlights, in pretty stark contrast, just how broken and completely arbitrary the system is. For a system like this to be valid, it should be formalized and repeatable. It needs to be based on objective information, not the random subjective opinions of a particular examiner. Yet the data suggests that's exactly what's happening, meaning that we're handing out hundreds of thousands of monopolies based on the mere whims of patent examiners, who haven't been shown to be even remotely consistent, and who have very little time to actually examine what it is they're granting monopolies over.
How does anyone consider that to be a reasonable system?

Full list of Maine bills for 2013 session to be listed
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � Maine legislative leaders say lawmakers submitted 1,780 bills to be considered during this year's legislative session before the deadline for submissions fell.
Now, Mainers can get a better idea of what all those bills are about. A full list of bill titles listed by subject matter is to be released Monday.
The 1,780 preliminary number of bills submitted is slightly lower than the prior Legislature, and leaders say it's likely to be reduced further once duplicates are identified.
During the last session, 1,899 bills were submitted by lawmakers before the deadline, or cloture.

Shannon Zimmerman joined the Assembly Republicans in rejecting universal background checks for gun buyers in Wisconsin. While 97% of Americans support this simple measure, Zimmerman opposed creating a safer Wisconsin for everyone.
zimmerman voted to protect Republican NRA campaign donations rather than voting to protect the lives of Wisconsinites.
Tuesday, February 20th, 2018 saw Republicans in the State Assembly reach a new low as they rejected the practical and widely supported step of requiring background checks for gun buyers in Wisconsin.
Recent polls have clearly shown that Americans are almost unanimous in their call for background checks for gun buyers.
Rather than listening to Americans, Shannon Zimmerman and the Republicans chose to reject making Wisconsin safer.

An interview with Abdelwahab Meddeb & Benjamin Stora, editors of A History of Jewish-Muslim Relations: From the Origins to the Present Day
Both of you grew up in places where Jewish and Muslim communities lived side by side but, for the most part, kept to themselves. How did your early experiences affect the way you developed this book?
Benjamin Stora: I grew up in Constantine, in the Jewish Quarter. At that time the Jews in Algeria mostly felt French, but their ties to the Muslim communities were real; we shared the same language of everyday life, the Arabic language. Then came the departure of the Jews from Algeria: another exile after the fracture introduced by the Cremieux Decree. I have worked extensively on the history of the Maghreb and on Algeria in particular, and more recently I have become interested in the question of memory among the Jews of Algeria: it is an essential part of my memory and of Algeria's history. And to inform these memories, the work of the historian is necessary because it puts events in context, it connects them to one another. This project made sense to me because it would bring together European and American historians, but also Muslims and Jews. And it is only in this collective dimension that the history of Jewish-Muslim relations can be written.
Abdelwahab Meddeb: During my childhood in Tunis, in the 1950s, the presence of Jews was part of my story. During my schooling I had many Jewish teachers in nearly all subjects--history, geography, French literature, English, mathematics, physics, the natural sciences. They were our fellow citizens, our elders. They helped us into the modern world as Tunisians. So, with this background, I decided to join this project. Because Jews have virtually disappeared from Arab reality, from the Maghreb, from Tunisia, it was important to revisit the past, to recall the peaceful coexistence with Jews, sharing the same city. It is necessary to remember, to replace imagination with memory, and from that point, history can be written.
This project took more than five years to complete--years that coincided with major changes and conflicts in the Middle East. Did current events affect your decisions about the essays and topics the book would include?
Benjamin Stora and Abdelwahab Meddeb: The history of relations between Jews and Muslims is complex. But the editorial committee tried to focus on the long term, not on issues tied solely to current events.
At a time when the relationship is in bad shape, very bad, we cannot ignore these religious conflicts nor their manifestations in political and social history.
Even in medieval times, when the two civilizations coexisted more peacefully, the "protected" legal status (dhimmi) of Jews did not prevent anti-Judaism among Muslims that led to forced conversions or destruction by the sword. This enmity mutated with the rise of Western hegemony that eventually subjugated the Islamic territories. Other forms of ambivalence developed under colonialism and imperialism.
We have situated A History of Jewish-Muslim Relations at the heart of this tragic scene. We wanted to make this an objective, balanced history, which at first seemed impossible. The history contains not only conflicts, but also times of fertile intellectual, cultural, and artistic exchange.
The book traces the history of a long and complicated relationship from a global perspective. Why is this shared history important for contemporary readers to understand?
Benjamin Stora: Making a book today on the history of relations between Jews and Muslims is a true challenge. Despite all the differences, all the apprehension, all the fears that exist between these two communities, one must maintain the link between them. They have experienced common histories, and despite the clashes, they belong to the same shared universe. It is a fundamental undertaking, not simply to remember but to engage readers at the civic level, at the political level. Because if you have this deep knowledge of the recent past, then you can envision working together. But if you do not have this conception of a shared past, how can you find common ground on which to build?
What are some of the cultural assumptions this book hopes to challenge?
Benjamin Stora: The first articles in the book challenge the idea that Muslims were hostile toward Jews from the outset. Specialists such as Mark Cohen have shown that the attitude of the Prophet of Islam toward the Jews was shaped by pragmatism, not ideology.
In contrast, the idea of an Andalusian golden age in which the two communities lived in perfect harmony has prevailed for a long time: but again, the historian must have the courage to reflect critically on its sources. This book, which ignores neither the bad nor the good, has the humble ambition to provide the results of contemporary research and to offer a common memory, a tool that will facilitate dialogue.
What do you think the future holds for Jewish-Muslim relations?
Abdelwahab Meddeb: I agreed to edit this project because I believe in the possibility of future reconciliation, but always also in the irreconcilable. For there is no reconciliation that does not preserve an irreconcilable part. It is a long history that contains the irreconcilable, on both sides, and for compromise to happen we must recognize that the two entities will maintain irreconcilable elements.
I believe in a future reconciliation and I agreed to do this work because I believe its effect remains to be seen: to work toward a better time in which everyone will regain reason. Without ignoring the negativities and the abominations, this book tells a complex story. The relationship between Jews and Muslims is complex: it has seen the best, it has seen the worst. But I think it is important at least to remember this ambiguity and to show that it does not move in only one direction. And to hope that, despite the hatred that currently exists between the two communities, a different vision is possible.

Between the Lines
Between the Lines
Web page This page appeared on the JC Penney website last year. The ad for a toy called "Forward Command Post" features an American soldier standing in a bombed-out house. It's an example of the growing collaboration, in recent years, between the entertainment industry and the U.S. military:
- The military is using video games of violent conflict both to train soldiers and to recruit young boys by introducing them to the virtual experience of combat (see details below);
- the Army has hired Hollywood movie technicians to design new equipment for urban combat. It paid $45 million to set up a combat think-tank called the Institute for Creative Technologies, where people who worked on Alien, Apocalypse Now, and Back to the Future use simulation and video game technology to develop new equipment and techniques for the soldiers of the future;
- and combat play reaps big profits. Video games with themes of terrorism and war in Middle-Eastern settings are selling well. In the game "Conflict: Desert Storm" (Gotham Games), the object is to lead a commando squad on a series of missions culminating with the player personally killing a Saddam Hussein-like character. Other popular games include "SOCOM (Special Operations COMmand), U.S. Navy SEALS" (Sony); "Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix" (Activision); and Tora Bora Ted.
Soldier Toy soldiers are not what they were in the era of G.I. Joe figures deployed over imaginary battlefields. Today's war toys are increasingly explicit in defining the experience for the child. A toy gun called "Laser Challenge V2" comes with a hit-recording vest, inviting kids as young as eight to shoot each other in the chest.
House Where is this house? It appeared on the JC Penney website right around the time talk of a U.S. invasion of Baghdad was heating up. The military noted that its smart weapons would enable it to avoid "collateral damage," but this house has been thoroughly trashed.
What They Love Traditionally, boys' and girls' toys have often been contrasted as being "rough-and-tumble" versus "nurturing." But that distinction may be disappearing, not only for healthy reasons of waning gender stereotyping, but for more questionable reasons such as the growing tolerance of-or obliviousness to-aggression and hostility in play by both sexes. Burger King, for example, apparently saw nothing amiss in its recent "Kids Meals" promotion featuring a plush toy bird called "Silly Slammer Chirpy," which is accompanied by directions instructing the child to "slam" the bird to elicit a chirping response.
Ages 5 and up Is a five-year-old mature enough to grasp the implications of a war in which people's houses are wrecked and commandeered by soldiers? Some psychologists are concerned, but children are frequent targets for violent entertainment-and for the military itself, which uses toys and games as a means of getting kids accustomed to the idea of killing. A U.S. Army website features a game called "America's Army: Operations," in which kids can experience virtual combat. The purpose is to facilitate eventual recruitment. "Some of the kids who play it are four years away from joining," says Col. Casey Wardynski. "We want to put the Army in the set of things they are thinking about."
In other toys for boys, a video game called "Burnout 2: Point of Impact" (Acclaim), which is advertised as appropriate for ages six and up, shows a man's head crashing through a windshield; and in the game Vice City (Rock Star Games), kids learn to win by attacking people without provocation and beating them to a bloody pulp.
Catalogs This toy was also featured in JC Penney's 2002 Christmas catalog. Christmas toys once featured Middle-Eastern settings such as the stable sheltering a baby Jesus, or the scene of three wise men looking at the Star of Bethlehem. This toy shows a house where the family is presumably fleeing, wounded, or dead. It's a curious way to celebrate the spirit of Christmas, Hannukkah, or Ramadan.
Contact us The activist group antiwar.com called JC Penney's head office (972-431-1000) to discuss its concerns about Forward Command Post, but calls were not returned. The address of Penney's corporate office is 6501 Legacy Drive, Plano, Texas 75024-3698.
World Peace Keepers Battle Station An oxymoron? Steven Feldgaier, a University of Manitoba child psychologist who specializes in anxiety and stress among children, says toys like this "send the confusing message that peace is linked with the need to arm yourself."
Battle zone Emphasis in today's play violence is increasingly on urban settings. "This is not just another war toy," says Eric Garris, webmaster of the California-based antiwar.com. "It's a total paradigm shift in the war toy industry. It's setting up the young people for this new kind of war, where soldiers come into your house and take it over when they need to."
American flag The idea of planting American flags in other countries has become routine. Currently there are U.S. military operations or bases in at least 52 countries.
