Libel is published (written) defamation which tends to injure a person's reputation. It is contrasted and occasionally accused with slander, which is spoken defamation. Within the broad category of libel, there are two types, libel per se and libel per quod.
One of the defenses against libel is truth. In the United States, the truth is always an absolute defense. This means that regardless of how nasty or vicious the statement appears, if it is the truth, the defendant will always prevail. For a court to rule otherwise would be prima facie evidence of censorship, and overturned on appeal.
Furthermore, the statement must be presented as a fact. Parody or jokes are not considered defamatory because they are not intended to be taken seriously. However, this defense will fail if a reasonable person would consider the statement to be factual, i.e. from the credentials of the source.
Under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, web hosts enjoy a limited immunity from civil prosecution. The reasoning behind the law is that the multitude of websites per hosts makes it impossible for them to know what exactly is being hosted. This immunity usually extends to libel, with certain exceptions. A webhost made aware of defamatory statements must immediately remove them to remain immune. Also, statements made by or with the knowledge of the hosts are fair game for a lawsuit. One of the more notable uses of Section 230 is by the Wikimedia Foundation, which has a unique position as both webhost and website. The Foundation has always prevailed, due to the sheer amount of data hosted and the relative autonomy of each site. Their success has led to some websites believing such laws do not apply to them. However, these sites are severely mistaken because they are not webhosts, but rather individual sites. Unlike the Foundation, which serves as a confederation of websites, the owners of other websites are in direct control of their content, thereby incurring liability for it.

Toronto Multicultural Food Expo
We are trying to organize a celebration, in the summer of 2011, of Toronto and its great spirit of diversity and inclusion. We are the world's most multicultural city. The greatest population of Sihks, Indians, Greeks, Italians, Portugese, Koreans and many others outside of their native countries reside in the Greater Toronto Area. Anyone can feel at home in Toronto and we want to celebrate that.
To new and old Torontonians, one of the most tangible benefits is the food experience. You can literally enjoy meals from the four corners of the globe with astonishing ease in Toronto, often within a few blocks.
We want to host this great event for not only Torontonians but for other Canadians, our friends from the US and other countries in the world.
The Toronto Multicultural Food Expo will bring all that is good about Toronto together and showcase our diversity through a food exposition that is reflective of our distinct communitites.
The key audience are Torontonians of all ages and nationalities who will form the majority of our participants, volunteers and attendance.
Toronto is a major metropolis that is diverse from social, economic, cultural and educational backgrounds.
Torontonians love living here for the diversity that they encounter and experience each and every day. From visiting the many different neighbourhoods (Greektown, Little Italy, Little India, KoreaTown......) , the people you encounter on a daily basis or the multitude of food and cultural experiences at their doorstep, Toronto is a world class city and leader in diversity and inclusion.
From Toronto, we would look to other Canadians, Americans and other countries to attract as potential tourists.
We need a logo that can help us define the personality and tone of the event. Since the logo will be the most used and seen piece of communication it is an important building block.
The logo may be used in TV, print, OOH, flyers, branding kits, with sponsors, brochures, t-shirts, you name it.
It needs to deliver on Toronto and its multicultural diversity. While food is the focus of the event, that seems like an additional layer that may not be necessary to include but feel free to give it a whirl.
We are a new entity so have no materials at this stage.
The latest in logo design 2D,3D, 4D is welcome.

(acoustic rock band)
Tue, Feb 26, 8pm $25
With the heat of summer in full swing, the next stage of Secondhand Serenade's saga is gearing up for release. Those familiar with the words of John Vesely, the man behind Secondhand Serenade, have lived through his picturesque stories of life's ups and downs - from the act's acoustic debut, Awake, to the fuller, and more emotionally complex sounds of 2008's sophomore A Twist In My Story. Fans have gravitated to John's heart-on-his sleeve approach and are consistently moved by his tales of life, love and loss that foster universal understanding. Along this journey, A Twist In My Story spawned the platinum-certified top 10 CHR Top 40 hit "Fall For You." The song also reached No. 21 on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100. With the release of Hear Me Now, Secondhand Serenade's third studio release for Glassnote Records, he gives a more in-depth look inside a man coming to terms with his shortcomings and moving forward with that understanding. More info here. RITA COOLIDGE
(multi GRAMMY-winning vocalist)
8pm $36, 10pm $26
Most music fans have a favorite song recorded by two-time GRAMMY award-winner Rita Coolidge - "Fever," "We're All Alone," "One Fine Day," "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher & Higher," "The Way You Do The Things You Do," "All Time High," "Superstar," and so many other memorable tracks that topped the charts from the 1970′s onward. It is perhaps due to Coolidge's pop and rock pedigree that many of her fans are unaware of her longstanding affection for jazz, however. Her debut release for Concord Records, And So Is Love, a collection of well-loved jazz standards, is sure to change all that. It will also undoubtedly add a few jazz chestnuts to that lengthy list of songs Coolidge has already made her own. More info here.MOLLY RINGWALD
(actress, singer, dancer, author touring new concert act)
Tue, Apr 16, 8pm $25 / $45 Limited VIP
Ringwald appeared in the TV series Diff'rent Strokes and the spin-off Facts of Life. Turning toward motion pictures, she found her breakout role in Sixteen Candles. Additionally some of Ringwald's most famous films include The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink. Currently Ringwald stars in the ABC Family network's series The Secret Life of the American Teenager. When she is not at the television studios in Hollywood, Molly Ringwald will tour her sensational new concert act A NIGHT WITH MOLLY RINGWALD featuring the Peter Smith Quartet.
Among her credits as a vocalist, Ringwald performed lead on Disney's patriotic album Yankee Doodle Mickey, where Ringwald sang "This Is My Country," "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "God Bless America." She later performed on a Disney Christmas album. On Broadway Molly has starred in the revival of CABARET, ENCHANTED APRIL, and MODERN ORTHODOX opposite Jason Biggs and Craig Bierko and appeared off-Broadway in tick, tick... BOOM! and also starred as 'Charity Hope Valentine' in the Broadway national tour of the musical revival, SWEET CHARITY. Ringwald's new book will be released August 2013 and her new solo recording is due Fall 2013. Read more here.RENÉ MARIE'S "Experiment in Truth" Quartet
(jazz, soul, blues and gospel vocalist)
Tue, Apr 23, 8pm $20
René Marie, the award winning singer whose style incorporates elements of jazz, soul, blues and gospel, has quickly become a heroine to many; a woman of great strength exuding stamina and compassion; often explaining how finding her voice and self through singing gave her the courage to leave an abusive marriage. But since the release of her recording debut, Renaissance, this Colorado based heroine has also evolved into one of the greatest and most sensuous vocalists of our time. Unmistakably honest and unpretentious while transforming audiences Worldwide with her powerful interpretations, electrifying deliveries and impassioned vocals - René Marie has drawn a legion of fans and music critics who find themselves not only entertained, but encouraged and even changed by her performances. More info here.RACHELLE FERRELL
(from Phyllis Hyman's backup singer (1988-1989) to R&B debut (1992), vocalist/multi-instrumentalist)
8pm $32, 10pm $28
Rachelle Ferrell is unquestionably one of the most dynamic talents in contemporary pop music. Very few vocal artists in the industry have Ferrell's potent combination of range, phrasing, and musicianship. Ferrell first emerged in the states with her R&B debut Rachelle Ferrell (1992), a solid collection of self-penned originals that featured a striking duet with Will Downing ('Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This'). It was with the release of First Instrument in 1994 (recorded prior to Rachelle Ferrell) that audiences were really introduced to Ferrell's jazz sensibilities. More info here. JUNIOR BROWN
(country guitarist and singer)
Sun, May 12, 7pm $25
"You don't find stylists today like you did in the Ernest Tubb era. That's what sets Junior aside from a lot of other artists. He's got his own style. And his rapport with his fans, he draws a vast audience, from young college kids up to the older, traditional country music fans." ~David McCormick, owner, Ernest Tubb Record Shop, Nashville
"Junior told me once that he was very impressed by Jimi Hendrix, by the way he was very wild, and yet he was very controlled. He knew where everything was going in a solo, and he (Junior), I think tries for the same effect, and I think he hits it virtually every time." ~Mitch Mitchell, drummer, The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Though these two quotes attempt to explain his uniqueness and wide range musical capability, though not vague, the quotes are so dissimilar as to provoke a curious sense of mystery for a reader uninitiated with the phenomenon known as Junior Brown. Of course, to anyone who has seen Junior sing and play live, or heard any of his ten albums, will No Doubt understand the connectedness in what the two quotes mean, and more often than not will have some quotable Junior observations to add of their own. Read more here.Backstory: Executive Pastry Chef Sylvia Polanski
"I was born in Chicago where I spent the first 12 years of my life. Chicago has a huge polish community, and my grandmother had two restaurants there. My grandmother is The Amazing person from whom I got my love for cooking. She lived in France for many years as well, so I was around a lot of Polish and French food. We ate at grandma's house several times a week. I watched her cook and eventually got my hands dirty. She is also amazing at desserts. We would have Croquembouche on a casual Monday night. My mother found homework I did from 2nd grade, and I said I wanted to be a chef when i grow up. I started cooking professionally when I moved to Russia in 1992. I was working under mostly Scandinavian chefs, which was great. I learned so much as just a line cook. When I returned to the U.S., I went to CCSF for almost two years and received my certificate in interior design. I was always interested in interior design, so i gave it a shot, alas my heart is in the kitchen. I started working at Postrio in 1998 with the Rosenthall brothers, who are brilliant; so great to work for them. I worked the line and also made stocks. It was very hard work but priceless. I was then promoted to saute at Wolfgang Pucks' other restaurant Spago, and i worked under Michael French who ran a very tight kitchen. I loved working there it was so busy, very fast paced. I was nicknamed the "risotto queen."
"I never thought I would ever be a pastry chef, ever. I was always turned off by all the science of it the preciseness and structure of it all. I couldn't have been more wrong. I use my same savory "oh a little bit of this, a pinch of that" and "eyeball it" mentality with pastry. I have come up with many amazing recipes and concepts this way. Always experimenting, always looking beyond the standard. I was working in Reno at the Cheeseboard and Wine Cellar as a line cook when I was asked to work as their baker. I took up the challenge and fell head over heals in love with baking. Love it!!!! For me it's the finesse, the delicateness. Dessert to me is soft, gentle, graceful, beautiful. I really enjoy pastries because I incorporate my savory and sweet in my creations. Fusing all wordly flavors, spices and ideas. My dishes aren't just a cake or ice cream; it's a concept from beginning to end. I focus on texture, taste, composition, ingenuity. I want to give people something they couldn't make at home and provide an experience where they stop doing anything except think about what they are eating. I love making people happy; that is my drive.
"I am currently at Yoshi's San Francisco making Japanese-inspired desserts. I have been given full creativity, amazing tools and support to create my desserts. I am a pastry chef, and my inspiration is everything that surrounds me."

Doug Kabourek didn't look much different than when I first saw him slumped like a homeless college student in the back of Sokol Underground during a Her Space Holiday show, circa 1999.
I had just begun going to rock shows alone -- a big step for me, but one I knew I'd have to take if I wanted to continue seeing the indie bands I loved. I realized after finding Kabourek rolled up like a bum on the floor that others were in the same boat as myself, though he had an excuse for being alone -- he'd just moved to Bellevue from somewhere in Iowa, and didn't know anybody. I wouldn't discover until months later, when I interviewed him about Golden Sand and the Grandstand that he was the local musician who went by the odd, awkward name Fizzle Like a Flood.
Now here we were, 12 years later, talking about music over a basket of tortilla chips on the outdoor patio of Agave in Dundee. Pop hits of the '80s (Huey Lewis & the News, The Outfield, Phil Collins) blared from hidden speakers as Kabourek slowly built a crystal wall of empty margarita glasses on the table. The reason for the reunion was the pending release of Choice Kills Response (Nectar and Venom Records), the first new Fizzle Like a Flood CD since 2005's Love LP, which kind of/sort of marked the departure of Kabourek as Fizzle.
Now available for download via his former record label, Ernest Jenning (home of O'Death, The Black Hollies and Chris Mills, among others) Love should have been Fizzle's next step. "It was my most impressive record, and it took the most amount of time to make," Kabourek said. "It was supposed to come out on Valentines Day 2006. But I was paying for everything; the label was only providing distribution. I couldn't afford the $7,000 needed to actually release it."
But more than financials pushed Fizzle Like a Flood into an unplanned hiatus. "I never quit," Kabourek explained. "It just that no one ever reacted to anything I did. I wanted it to 'just happen,' and it doesn't 'just happen' in Omaha. You have to really try to make it happen, and even then it doesn't happen."
Oh, there were a few write-ups, including an All Music Guide review that called Golden Sand "consistently aurally engaging." The smattering of press caught the eye of Ernest Jenning, who rereleased that album in '05 with new artwork by Frank Holmes, who did the art for Beach Boys' Smile. But for the most part, the winsome, multi-layered one-man head trip -- an homage to the demolished Aksarben horse track -- went unnoticed. But no more so than its followup, Flash Paper Queen (The 4-Track Demos), with its parenthetical joke title that no one (including Pitchfork) got.
After recording the Love LP Kabourek moved on to other things, including The Dull Cares, a project whose music was modeled after "Earth Angel"-style '60s pop, and At Land, a power trio featuring longtime friends Travis Sing (Black Squirrels) and James Carrig (Sarah Benck and the Robbers).
"At Land recorded at Baseline, but never released anything," Kabourek said. "I was drunk at every session. It was going to be sloppy, old-man rock, even though we knew we weren't old yet."
While those projects kept him busy (and anonymous), Kabourek kept writing Fizzle Like a Flood music. "I finally got an itch to make this record this past winter," he said. "Some of the songs go back to 2005."
It's a return to form for Kabourek, and another example of his home-studio recording -- and songwriting -- prowess. The killer tracks are the ones that depart from his typical heart-on-his-sweater-sleeve approach, like the roaring, hollow-hearted rocker "Cutters." It is equal parts Pixies and early Weezer, along with an excuse for Kabourek to use the word "masturbation" in his lyrics.
"'Cutters' was written for At Land, which to me is a '90s tribute band but with our own songs," Kabourek said. "(The song) is about the frustration of not having sex for a long time, which is the perfect theme for every '90s song. Every big hit from 1994 had 'masturbation' in the lyrics." Other tracks, like opener "Balcony" and "Great," are Fizzle fixtures with crunching guitars and Kabourek's trademark bells, while the unpronounceable "Ö[Æ]à[=]É" is a modern surf rocker, complete with horror-movie organ. Kabourek skimps on nothing on this recording, but since he now refuses to use backing tracks on stage, we'll never hear it performed this way live.
Not bad for a guy who at 38 says he's fallen out of the music scene. "I've gotten to the age where this is my music -- the '90s -- I love that stuff," he said. "If someone plays me something new, that's fine, but I have enough old music to keep me happy."
He says he hasn't been to Pitchfork.com since 2006. "I watched the Grammy's two years ago," he said. "What was the band with a thousand members and none of them play anything remotely catchy? Arcade Fire? I don't get it. It's OK, but I don't like their stuff. And Radiohead on SNL last night? What I heard sucks."
In fact, you're not going to find Kabourek hiding in the back of rock clubs these days. "We like to go sing karaoke," he said. "It's more fun than going to a show."
Except for his show, of course.
Fizzle Like a Flood's CD release party is Oct. 7 at The Barley Street Tavern with The Whipley Three, At Land and Underwater Dream Machine. The show starts at 9 p.m. Cover is $5.

Thirty-two years have passed, and the Franklin County Junior Golf Tour continues to thrive.
On Thursday, the FCJGT concluded its 2013 summer schedule with its now-annual championships at Penn National's Founders Course.
The Tour's evolution was clearly evident, with trophies being presented to the top-three finishers in each division while the overall champions were awarded Titleist bags as an added bonus – all part of Frank Wells' ultimate vision.
In his third year as director, Wells' commitment to expanding the game to the area's youth cannot be understated, with Wells traveling from his new residence in North Carolina back to Pennsylvania in order to oversee each of the Tour's nine tournaments.
"It was a little harder than I thought it would be, but we planned accordingly and only needed to make four separate trips back home," Wells explained. "I wasn't ready to hand it over and I've already started working on next year."
On average, the FCJGT boasted a field of roughly 40-45 competitors for the 18-hole events in 2013, down slightly from a 50-60 average one year ago.
Still, 53 total participants signed up to play, with divisions being split up by age and gender – Burke (boys 16-18), Gontz (boys 13-15), Kacy Straub (girls 13-18), Breed (boys 12-and-under) and Junior Girls (girls 12-and-under).
"We lost some kids, but overall, I was still pleased with the turnout," Wells said. "The younger divisions really had some good numbers, which was nice to see."
In terms of the schedule, nine-hole-only events at Rocky Spring and Conocodell replaced tournaments held at Carroll Valley and Great Cove in 2012, something Wells hopes to address by adding more full-field events moving forward.
"The schedule took somewhat of a step back," Wells acknowledged. "We picked up a few tournaments, but they were only nine holes. We're trying to add more 18-hole events for next year, beginning with Black Rock."
This summer, the Tour made stops at some of the area's premiere venues, including two dates at Penn National along with trips to Waynesboro Country Club, Chambersburg Country Club, Whitetail and Mountain View.
"The courses are very gracious and really open up their facilities to us," Wells said. "We get to play at a lot of great places and it's pretty neat to have that kind of support."
While there is certainly a competitive aspect to each tournament, the overall theme of offering an enjoyable experience still serves as the Tour's fundamental value.
"Sure it's a competition, but it's all about the kids having fun," Wells said. "All-in-all, I think we accomplished that again this year. It's very gratifying for me to see how excited the kids get to play and then how eager they are to share their scores at the end."
With Wells already committing to expand and enhance the experience in 2014, the FCJGT is poised to remain a summer mainstay for years to come.

part one
So, I've been pretty much in love with X-Men most of my life. But I've always been pretty quiet about it..except when forced to watch those shitty fucking love action movies(they make me RAGE). I've recently decided that I want to cosplay Rogue professionally. And I don't mean half assed, wigs and shit. I mean, I want to make all the outfits by hand, cut my hair to match hers and bleach the front white. My natural hair color is same as her's so that's an easy one
part two
So, we're making this huge group for our X-Men cosplay and narrowing down which costumes from which X-Men series.
We have Astonishing Emma Frost and Scott "Cyclops" Summers
Legacy Rogue
The rest haven't told me what outfits they want but we have
Remy "Gambit" LeBeau
Kitty "Shadowcat" Pryde
and one undecided (Either Mystique or Nightcrawler)
Instead of getting a wig, I will be actually dying my hair to match Rogue's. My poor bangs are going to hate me but not a fuck is given. :3 I found my fabrics today for the costume, so that's a plus. I also have to learn a southern accent...Wish me luck ^-^

My brother, Joe Warner (left), and I had so much fun testing grilled desserts this past week.
By FAR the best recipe we had — though not the most colorful — was the Bananas Foster with pineapple we made for the FOX 9 morning crew this Sunday on the Vermont Castings 401 Signature Series gas grill.
Joe's live TV debut came smack dab in the middle of our BBQ Grill Expo, though you can still cash in on grill discounts through April 17.
So how good is this recipe? Well, I'm lactose intolerant, and I still ate a bowl of it. Yum!
We've already gotten requests for the recipe, so here it is:
Grilled Tropical Bananas Foster
3 firm bananas
1 thinly sliced fresh pineapple rings
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. rum extract or 2 Tbsp. dark rum
Heat grill to medium high heat. Place butter in a large, grill-safe bowl (we used metal) and heat until melted. Remove.
Meanwhile, grill bananas in their peels about 6 minutes per side, or until brown.
To make glaze, add brown sugar, cinnamon and rum to melted butter.
Peel bananas (careful, they're steamy!), cut in fourths and add to glaze. Then add pineapples and toss fruit in glaze until coated.
Put bowl back on the grill for about 10 minutes (or so…use your judgment) to warm up again and let all the delicious flavors combine!
Scoop vanilla ice cream into bowls and spoon 1/6 of glazed fruit mixture on top.

Willie Nelson to receive 5th-degree black belt
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- The Red Headed Stranger is getting his fifth-degree black belt.
Country music icon Willie Nelson is scheduled Monday to achieve another level of mastery in the martial art of Gong Kwon Yu Sul. He'll show off his fighting chops at an Austin studio before the easygoing songwriter celebrates his 81st birthday this week.
Nelson has spent decades practicing martial arts while building a career as one of the most celebrated musicians of his time.
The black belt is a quieter honor than usual for the lionized singer. Just this past weekend, Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey inducted his fellow Texan into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame with a blowout concert.
Nelson's birthday is Wednesday - though he's claimed before that the date is really April 29, a day earlier.

Microsoft Office Excel 2007 is a powerful and widely used tool with which you can create and format spreadsheets, and analyze and share information to make more informed decisions. It allows you to import, organize and explore massive data sets within spreadsheets and then communicate your analysis with professional-looking charts. Excel 2007 also provides tools to "see" important trends and find exceptions in your data. Legit Reviews has two benchmarking tests that we do on Microsoft Office Excel 2007.
The first workload executes approximately 28,000 sets of calculations using the most common calculations and functions found in Excel. These include common arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, division, rounding and square root. It also includes common statistical analysis functions such as Max, Min, Median and Average. The calculations are performed after a spreadsheet with a large dataset is updated with new values and must re-calculate many data points. The input file is the 6.2 MB spreadsheet seen above.
Benchmark Results: Lots of people use Microsoft Office at work and home, so this is an important test for many of our readers. Many people don't run 28,000 sets of calculations at once, but if you do the CPU will determine how fast the task is completed.
The Black-Scholes model is used in our second Excel test to calculate a theoretical call and put price using the five key determinants of an option's price: stock price, strike price, volatility, time to expiration, and short-term (risk free) interest rate.
This workload calculates the European Put and Call option valuation for Black-Scholes option pricing using Monte Carlo simulation. It simulates the calculations performed when a spreadsheet with input parameters is updated and must recalculate the option valuation. In this scenario we execute approximately 300,000 iterations of Monte Carlo simulation. In addition, the workload uses Excel lookup functions to compare the put price from the model with the historical market price for 50,000 rows to understand the convergence. The input file is a 70.1 MB spreadsheet and with 10 times the calculations of the first test, this one should take a bit longer to complete.
Benchmark Results: With 300,000 iterations of Monte Carlo simulation taking place in this benchmark it takes all the processors a bit longer to finish as it puts a good load on the system. The Intel Skulltrail system is in a league of its own as it completes the task in less than ten seconds. The Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 was slower than the Q6600 in these benchmarks, which might be due to the smaller cache.

When I first saw Off and Running I was immediately taken, but then again, my own personal investment in the films subject matter was considerable. Like Avery, Im an adopted Jew of color from New York City. I see only dualities in my maturation, which has been a series of racially charged incidents quelled by moments of encouragement by people and institutions that worked together in a bizarre alchemy to create me.
As a young child my parents sat me down and explained it was important for me to find a faith of which to be a part. I grew up in the predominantly liberal and Jewish bastion of New York City called the Upper West side and at the ripe age of 9, it was Judaism that I felt most connected to; it was what I knew best. I began to attend a Schul after school where we were taught stories from the Bible, Yiddish and about our history and culture. I liked the friends I made and the stories I heard at Schul. The formation of my Jewish identity at that age was informed by Schul where there were transnationally adopted Jews to my right and left and by my neighborhood where I felt my family the apotheosis of what the 21st century family looked like. At 9 years old, I thought being bi-racial and Jewish was a magical marriage of identities.
At 13 years old, in the planning stages of my Bat Mitzvah, my Hebrew School teacher called a meeting at his home to discuss details. He opened his door to see me, my father who is an Ashkenazi Jew and my black mother. Upon seeing my family, without asking, he regrettably informed us that the Conservative synagogue, would not allow me to perform the right of passage in their temple because my mother wasnt a Jew. My wily mother, coyly and smarmily responded oh, but her mother is Jewish. Yes, it turns out my biological mother is a white Ashkenazi Jew.
And with these words, my Hebrew school teacher, as though I was caught in the Woody Allen version of my own life as a film, threw his hands into the air and exclaimed its Bashert [its destiny] then! Youll have your Bat Mitzvah in the Temple! In that moment I felt a definitive rage. I wanted desperately to be a part of the Upper West Sides most exclusive and popular clique, Judaism, but felt what would prove to be an indelible stake in this idea of blackness, something pitted against Jewishness. And so there it was, in the home of my Hebrew School teacher that the two were separated, like oil and water, I was Black and Jewish but I couldnt be both, I couldnt be a Black Jew.
I chose not to have a Bat Mitzvah. I did not want play into the manipulations of the Jewish matrilineal system, making me Jewish because my adoptive mother, my actual mother, was not Jewish. My Jewish blood line felt tenuous and foreign and I did not want to take part in a brand of Judaism that did not accept that I was Jewish because my father was Jewish. And so I began to create my own rules.
My Jewish identity became an amalgamation of the cultural extensions of the religion. I ate bagels from Murrays Sturgeon Shop on 90th and Broadway, sang Yiddish songs and memorialized the Holocaust in the Culturally Jewish Camp Kinderland and attended Seders at my aunts house. But my connection to the religion was jaded and superficial. It was as though I wore a Jewish badge when I felt as though it would benefit or help me to fit in better, but didnt believe in it at my core, having been turned away because of my race. I could wear Judaism like a person wears a cloak, removing it when I came into my room, putting it on to perform for others.
Last December my roommate decided to throw a Shabos dinner. It was also the first night of Chanukah. I created a makeshift Menorah in our kitchen, since we did not have one. When I emerged from the kitchen with my creation, I stood in front of it like a proud mother. I quieted the small living room and began to recite the prayer. Most people, even the one or two that werent Jewish knew (at least) some of it, the beginning, Barukh atah Adonai being the loudest, but by the third verse, the one that you recite only on the Friday of Chanukah, all but three of the twenty people dropped out; me, my roommate and one young man.
After it was over I began to exit the room and was stopped by the same young man that had accompanied me in the last verse. He insisted, Youre not Jewish, are you? I replied calmly, coolly Yes, yes I am He replied but youre not like, Jewish, Jewish, right? I mean, you dont look Jewish. I walked out of the room. But not without overhearing him whisper to his friend I mean, cmon, give me a break, she looks Indian or something, did Sara teach her that prayer do you think? I left the house after that. It was the first time Id cried since the day I left my Hebrew School Teachers house and written off any formal tie to Judaism. It was then that I realized I was unable to remove my imaginary cloak. The cloak, the performance of Judaism, turned out to be a projection of real desire to feel accepted. I realized the liberal isolation I had grown up with was not a reflection of race in America and if I wanted to be Jewish I had to make a concerted effort to make people accept me as such.
A few short weeks later I watched Off and Running. In it was one young womans unapologetically raw quest to join all identities. Instead of pushing her Judaism away, only allowing it to appear when convenient and comfortable like I had, Avery did not let it go. She allowed Judaism in, steadfast that it was a part of her fabric just as her blackness was becoming. Avery had an incisive understanding that identity is a construction, her blackness another layer of herself that she needed to explore and take from to create. In one of the most poignant moments in the film a therapist asks her Do you feel black? to which Avery responds African-American? I dont know what that means. Averys transparent and unadulterated battle to find confluence urged me to do the same.
In the time since watching Off and Running I have approached my blackness and my Judaism as two of many other parts working together. I have encountered many Jews of Color who are doing the same. In a recent New York Times article well-known African-American Jewish blogger, MaNishtAna, asserts that he eats his gefilte fish as his mother prepares it, seasoned with Jamaican peppers and spices, harvesting a Judaism that unites his other identities. The documentary Off and Running comes during a moment where American Jewry is at a crossroads. Its face, like Ma Nishtenas mothers gefilte fish, is sprinkled with color. The lockstep of conservative American Jewry needs to streamline their identities to complement the generally shifting American consciousness, away from exclusivity, toward sprinkled gefilte fish.

Benicio Del Toro
On how scars can make the villain, and why no one tops Jack Nicholson for seriously deranged
He's played heroes (Che), art-world hep cats (Basquiat), the insane (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), the principled (Traffic), the re-habbed (21 Grams). But Puerto Rican actor Benicio Del Toro began his career playing thugs on shows like Miami Vice and made his name as Fred Fenster, the profane, mumble-mouthed thief of The Usual Suspects. If the buzz is true, all of them will pale in comparison to the 45-year-old's villain in Oliver Stone's bloody, based-on-true-crimes thriller Savages (opening July 6). As Lado, Del Toro plays the ruthless, machete-wielding enforcer of a cartel who, as Taylor Kitsch recently told GQ,"goes around matter-of-factly decapitating people." Here's how all that nasty started.
**GQ: What scared you when you were a kid? **
**Benicio Del Toro: **Teachers. The dark. Being alone. Being somewhere alone.
GQ: Was there a villain that frightened you the most?
**Benicio Del Toro: **Monster movies with Bela Lugosi. But it was Robert Mitchum in the original Cape Fear that scared me the most because he was very real. Mitchum was like someone I knew and he overpowered the good guy—Gregory Peck—until the end.
GQ: Do you have a favorite fictional villain?
**Benicio Del Toro: **From literature it would have to be Dracula. In movies there is always Jack Nicholson's Johnny in The Shining. Robert Mitchum, Christopher Walken in _Close Range, _Pacino in Scarface. It's difficult to pick just one.
GQ: What was it about Nicholson in The Shining that you loved?
**Benicio Del Toro: **The way he crumbled into madness was really spooky to watch. His smile can be warm but also extremely cold, depending on how he decides to use it. There are different kind of villains. There's the friendly, funny villains, like Eli Wallach in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. There's the vicious villain like Joe Pesci in GoodFellas. The list is impossibly long: Woody Harrelson, Charlize Theron—Juliette Lewis in Natural Born Killers is pretty crazy. And then there's Jack Nicholson, who is total craziness, a psychopath.
GQ: Ever draw on your own fears when you play a role?
**Benicio Del Toro: **Not really. It's usually the story and imagination.
GQ: Was there ever a villain you rooted for or admired?
**Benicio Del Toro: **I guess I rooted for the Creature from the Black Lagoon. I rooted for Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs in a weird way. The more complicated they are, the more you kind of forgive bad guys for the stuff they do—also the ones who make you laugh when they're doing something wrong.
**GQ: You've been playing villains since you started acting. When did you figure out that you could play the bad guy? **
**Benicio Del Toro: **The first time I ever thought about acting. I don't know, it might have something to do with the shape of my head, but it happened quickly. The very first things that I did, even in theater, were bad guys. They are meaty roles for the most part. With the bad guy you have more freedom to experiment and go further out than with a good guy. I think a good guy's role has its perimeter marked, in a way.
GQ: How much of Lado, the character you play in your next film, Savages, was written on the page and how much did you create?
**Benicio Del Toro: **We explore things that might not have been in the book the film is based on [Don Winslow's Savages: A Novel], but for the most part, the character was solidly on the page of the book and script. The book is fiction, but it's also based on actual facts so you're looking at bad guys from real life.
**GQ: How important are costumes for you, for getting into a role? **
**Benicio Del Toro: ** With Savages, Lado's cowboy boots helped. They make you taller. Then there's the makeup—they put some scars on your face, you look into the mirror, and it's not really you. You kind of hold onto that and say,"Okay, now I'm bad."
GQ: Do you think most villains see themselves as bad guys?
**Benicio Del Toro: **Most of them, yeah, but Lado also had an upbringing that was completely terrible. He's managed to gather some power and to become successful so he feels like the end justify the means. He's a little like, _Somebody else is worse than me. _You use an excuse but that doesn't mean you're not a horrible person.
GQ: Do you think most of villains are born bad, or something makes them bad?
**Benicio Del Toro: **You might get some serial killers who are born with a chip missing, but for the most part I don't think anyone is born bad. Especially now that I have a daughter, I just find it impossible to believe that. You look at a helpless baby, and how bad can it be?
**GQ: Has it been hard to shake off any of your bad guys? **
**Benicio Del Toro: **All the time. That's why I get my hotel room with rubber walls [laughs]. No, not really. It's work. You might take some things. Attitude makes a bad guy so maybe some of the attitude sticks for a bit.
GQ: How evil, percentage-wise, would you say you are in real life?
**Benicio Del Toro: **47.6998 percent. I'm a bad guy. It fluctuates all the time, though. Right now I'm 15.7699.
**GQ: Only 15 percent? **
And that's nothing if you think about it. Nature is much worse.
GQ: Do you think movie villains have changed much?
**Benicio Del Toro: **All the possibilities of bad guys have been done. There are some vicious, really modern bad guys in silent films. What's changed is that bad guys started to get away with it. That probably started in the seventies and eighties with Freddy Kruger; he would kill you and get away with it and no one could catch him—he'd be back on the sequel. Villains used to always die in the end. Even the monsters. Frankenstein, Dracula—you'd kill them with a stake. Now the nightmare guy comes back.

Transparent dressings are thin, breathable clear dressings for wounds and easy to apply. Also known as transparent film dressings, these thin sheets are generally made of polyurethane and have an adhesive coating. They make for ideal protective dressings on wounds and IV catheter sites as also for securing tubing and other devices. Transparent dressings are available in several shapes and sizes.
How transparent film dressings work
Transparent wound dressings are ideal in situations where there is little or no wound exudate. They also assist in autolytic debridement and are therefore effective on wounds with necrotic tissues. Transparent film dressings may also be used as secondary dressings. Since they are transparent, monitoring the wound for exudate and healing is made easy.
These dressings are breathable, allowing moisture vapor and oxygen exchange. Transparent dressings help maintain a moist environment on the wound and its surrounding area thereby assisting in its quick recovery. They are sterile on the side next to the skin and their waterproof quality allows for use in the shower or bath. Since they are waterproof dressings, transparent film dressings also protect the wound from bacterial infections and other contaminants. They allow carbon dioxide and excess moisture water vapor to escape from the wound.
Transparent wound dressings are flexible in nature therefore making it a good choice to dress hard-to-reach wound areas. But they do not adhere to a wound with moist surface area. This type of a dressing can remain on a wound for days without needing to be replaced. Therefore, it should not be used on a wound that requires frequent dressing change.
When to use transparent dressings
Transparent dressings work on several types of wounds such as:
Different types of transparent dressings
Transparent dressings are also available as film transparent dressings and vapor permeable transparent dressings. There is also a choice in absorbent transparent dressings, transparent adherent dressings, transparent dressings that are anti-bacterial, non-adherent transparent dressings and low-adherent transparent dressings.
When not to use transparent dressings
Transparent dressings should not be used:
You can choose transparent dressings for wounds by properties such as waterproof, hypoallergenic, with adhesive border and bordered. We carry high quality transparent dressings from reliable and trusted makers such as 3M, BSN Medical, Medline Industries, Smith & Nephew, Covidien/Medtronic, Reliamed, etc. Our Tegaderm dressings are popular for their cost-effectiveness and provide high adhesion making them ideal for wounds with some moisture. Tegaderm transparent dressings protect skin and wound sites and are impermeable to liquids, bacteria and viruses.
The 3M Tegaderm absorbent clear acrylic dressing has the film close to the wound surface perforated to allow uptake of the wound fluid by the absorbent acrylic pad. The other side is moisture vapor permeable but impermeable to liquids, bacteria and viruses.
Other popular transparent film dressing brands include Leukomed, OPSITE, Suresite, Kendall, Bioclusive and more.

Our culture is in decline, and manners and socially acceptable behaviors are going the way of the dodo bird. Too many men are rude, cowardly, and craven, and set poor examples for their progeny. Children watch their parents act as though the world is their toilette and other people are owed no consideration at all. Ours is a society of the rude, the spoiled, and the entitled.

Groton school board agrees to independent arbitrator for Kadri's termination hearing
Groton — The Board of Education has agreed to let an independent arbitrator handle the upcoming termination hearing for Superintendent Paul Kadri.
School board attorney Floyd Dugas negotiated an agreement with Kadri's attorney, Gregg Adler, to appoint Timothy Bornstein as the hearing officer instead of the board, according to school board Chairwoman Kirsten Hoyt. Bornstein's decision will be final.
"The board has agreed to this out of an abundance of caution and to remove any argument that the party deciding the case had predetermined the outcome and therefore denied Mr. Kadri due process," Hoyt said.
The hearing will be closed to the public, according to the agreement, which comes a week after Kadri was denied his request for an arbitrator. Dugas had argued that Kadri's contract calls for the school board to be the deciding body at a termination hearing.
Kadri, who was placed on paid leave in May due to accusations of abusive and unprofessional behavior toward school employees, denies the allegations and claims he was being prejudged and could not receive fair treatment from the same board that had voted to consider his firing.
Kadri also responded to the initial denial with a list of concerns about the potential bias of six of the board's nine members. The board denies those claims.
As a result of the agreement, the Oct. 30 termination hearing date was canceled. The new hearing dates are set for Nov. 20, Dec. 11, Dec. 14 and Dec. 20 with an agreement that the proceedings be completed prior to Dec. 30.
"I'm pleased by this because it allows a decision by a neutral decision maker, which is what we've been asking for," Adler said.
Adler said he expects the school board to take on the role of prosecutor in the hearing, while he cross-examines witnesses.
Kadri's termination hearing comes in the wake of a damaging report by an investigator hired by the school board to interview school employees. Some employees said they feared for their safety, and others said Kadri's behavior caused them anxiety. Other employees accused Kadri of things such as asking school district personnel to perform personal tasks during work hours and attempting to misuse grant funds.
"They essentially have to show they have grounds to terminate Paul," Adler said. "The board insisted it be held in private. As much as (Kadri) preferred to have it in public, the primary goal is to have a fair hearing."
Adler said both he and Dugas agreed to Bornstein as arbitrator. He described Bornstein as a well-respected professional arbitrator who typically resolves disputes in collective bargaining agreements.
As part of the agreement between Kadri and the school board, Kadri is responsible for $500 of the cost of the arbitrator per hearing while the school board shoulders the balance.

The tax rate in the Village of Lewiston will remain the same for another year.
Trustees approved a $3,339,986 budget for 2013-14 on Monday. This includes a tax rate of $7.12 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, which is the same as the 2012-13 tax rate.
"I'm happy," Mayor Terry Collesano said. "We were very diligent in our cutting. Our scalpels came out."
The board was able to maintain the tax rate while increasing the budget from $3,298,631 to $3,339,986 thanks, in large part, to lower bond fees. The village's general government support schedule 1-A debt service will fall to $83,525 for the next fiscal year, down from $122,150.
Bonds represent a way for Lewiston, like other villages and towns, to borrow money to pay for large-scale projects.
With expiring bonds coming off the budget, trustees plan to apply for new bonds.
"Now we'll be able to do more, thank God," Collesano said. "More drainage work, sewer work, water work."
Board members had previously said it was their intent to reduce residential water and sanitary sewer consumption fees. They now intend to adopt two proposed local laws amending sections 20-139 and 20-194 of the village code. Such changes would lower the sanitary sewer rate from $4.65 per 100 cubic feet of water consumed to $4.59 (a 6-cent decrease), and the water rate from $3.55 per 100 cubic feet of water consumed to $3.49 (also a 6-cent decrease). Additionally, trustees seek to remove the $5-per-billing-cycle surcharge.
If approved, these changes would take effect July 1.
Prior to an amendment in the village code, trustees are required to hold a public hearing. The board will hold such a meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, April 15, at the Red Brick Municipal Building, 145 N. Fourth St.

Cocoa interfaces are typically created using Xcode's Interface Builder. This program produces XIB files, which are XML representations of a user interface. Despite being XML, the files are fairly opaque and should not generally be edited manually, and they often do not merge cleanly via source control. The format and content of the XIB file will be different depending on the OS version and devtools (Xcode) version that is used to edit them. If you edit files with consistent versions, the diffs remain marginally readable. Because of this, Chromium has a policy that requires all XIBs to saved with a specific developer setup.
All XIBs must be saved using:
Xcode: 8.3.2
Mac OS X: 10.13.3
Editing a XIB File
Prior to Xcode 4, Interface Builder was a standalone program that could be used to edit XIBs independently of the Xcode program. In Xcode 4 however, Interface Builder is now just an IDE component, not a separate program. The chrome.xcodeproj is humongous and brings Xcode to its knees, making it unideal for editing XIB files. To make things easier, Chromium has a special Xcode project just for editing XIB files.
To edit a XIB:
edit_xibs.sh script will execute GYP using the Xcode generator for
/src/chrome/chrome_nibs.gyp. That script's output will print the path to the Xcode project that you should use for editing a XIB file.
chrome_nibs.gyp file contains a fake target for use in Xcode. It lists explicitly all the source files on which the XIBs (listed in
chrome_nibs.gypi) depend. For example, all NSWindowController and NSViewController class files are listed in the sources list for the fake Xcode project. This is because Xcode uses the class files to create connections between the user interface in the XIB and the methods and variables to which the elements are bound.
Any custom NSView, NSWindow, NSWindowController, or NSViewController class files should be listed in chrome_nibs.gyp. This will allow you to create new IBOutlets and new IBActions for classes, as well as allowing Xcode to maintain existing connections.
CL Descriptions:
When it comes time to prepare your changelist, you should list explicitly the XIB changes you have made. This allows your reviewer to know what was done, and to, if necessary, repeat the steps if the change were to be merged or re-done. Example:
[Mac] Add a help center link to the foobar dialog.
XIB changes:
* Make the window 20px taller.
* Add a new NSButton configured with a HyperlinkButtonCell.
* Set the springs on the button to lock to lower-left corner.
* Connect the button to |-goToHelpCenter:|.
TEST=(1) Open the foobar dialog.
(2) Click on the "What does this mean?" link.
(3) A new tab opens for the help center article.
Adding a XIB File
Don't add new XIB files. XIB files are difficult to maintain, difficult to review, and difficult to merge.

Despite SVP being understandably mammal-centric this year, there was still plenty of dinosaur related presentations and posters to keep us all happy. As usual, I was focussing mainly on marine reptiles (not a lot this year unfortunately) and theropod research – particularly tyrannosaurids and, in this particular instance, there were a few really interesting pieces of research on show.
Regular readers are aware that I have often discussed the importance of the tyrannosaurid Daspletosaurus and how continuing research into this animal is important – especially when it comes to tyrannosaurine evolution and the dispersal of Tyrannosauridae throughout North America. We have known for some time now there are multiple species of Daspletosaurus and here, for the first time, Tetsuto Miyashita, of the University of Alberta, and colleagues presented their research into one of these new tyrannosaurids.
The new taxon is represented by multiple skulls and skeletons and displays several characters that are distinctive from Daspletosaurus torosus. These include features in the premaxilla, nasal, postorbital boss, and lacrimal (amongst others). Remains are found in both the Dinosaur Park Formation and the temporaneous uppermost Oldman Formation and are thus more recent than D. torosus.
The authors' phylogenetic analysis reveals that this taxon, as well as Daspletosaurus sp. from the Two Medicine Formation, forms a clade which is comprised of tyrannosaurine tyrannosaurids that are more derived than those from Campanian deposits in Utah and probably New Mexico. Interestingly, this analysis also recovered Bistahieversor as a tyrannosaurid which is just what the comprehensive analysis recently documented in the Lythronax paper (Loewen et al 2013) also found.
Here it is interesting that the authors favour Daspletosaurus as being derived with both Tarbosaurus and Tyrannosaurus but Loewen et al regard Daspletosaurus as a basal northern clade and separate from the southern Laramidian radiation of tyrannosaurids. They favour a southern distribution for more derived tyrannosaurids and suggest that both Tyrannosaurus and the Asian Tarbosaurus evolved from this dispersal event in the south.
This is intriguing because there are obvious differences between these two analyses and it raises yet more questions than there are answers. Personally, I remain open minded about tyrannosaurid dispersal events and, make no mistake, there were probably several. But perhaps there is now more evidence about Daspletosaurus being "northern" and it comes in the form of another unexpected new tyrannosaurid announced at SVP.
Anthony Fiorillo and Ron Tykoski, both of the Perot Museum of Nature & Science in Dallas, presented their research on skeletal remains of large theropods in the Upper Cretaceous Prince Creek Formation of Alaska. The Prince Creek crops out along the bluffs of the Colville River and the sedimentology reveals deposits that were laid down in a wet/dry seasonal environment. There are several sites of which one, the Kikak-Tegoseak Quarry, has yielded some extremely interesting elements from a tyrannosaurid.
One of these, DMNH 21461, is a skull roof displaying a bifurcated sagittal crest and would seem to indicate a total skull length of around 0.6 metres. Other elements include a partial dentary and are indicative of a derived tyrannosaurine and are quite diagnostic indicating that a new taxon is involved. The authors are naturally enough a little wary at the moment about confirming or naming the new taxon and, when questioned about the height of the sagittal crest by Thomas Carr, declined to answer in public. That is fair enough but my observations of the fossils on display, and the sagittal crest in particular, suggest that this may yet be another species of Daspletosaurus. And there is more.
The Liscomb Bonebed, another site in the Prince Creek, has also yielded tyrannosaurid elements and these display an unusual condition for their size. These include specimens DMNH 2012-25-31 (a neural arch), DMNH 2012-25-30 (a partial radius) and DMNH 2012-22-20 (a pedal phalanx) and their overall morphology is indicative that they represent an adult tyrannosaurid – but this particular individual is only about 40% the size of what a conventional large adult tyrannosaurid would be.
This should actually not be a surprise considering the conditions that would have been endured in the palaeoenvironment of northern Alaska back in the Late Cretaceous and dwarfism would have been a logical response when resources are limited. As research progresses it will be interesting to know how these tyrannosaurids relate to each other and, as I mused earlier, how they will further enlighten our knowledge of the tyrannosaurid radiation throughout the Late Cretaceous.
Thomas Carr's contribution to SVP this year was a poster looking at the sister group relationship between Daspletosaurus and Tyrannosaurus. Just in case you are unaware, Carr is still working on a quite significant monograph on Daspletosaurus which was, when we were chatting at SVP, over 1000 pages long – a significant contribution. So it was not surprising to see this poster featuring his research into testing the evolutionary lineage of these tyrannosaurids and whether a case for anagenesis can be made.
A comprehensive cladistic analysis was undertaken to compare both phylogenetic and ontogentic sequences and patterns. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, there are several factors that are suggestive of an anagenetic tyrannosaurine lineage but, equally, there is that question of the dispersal of Tyrannosaurinae in the first place. As Carr points out, Tyrannosaurus is phylogenetically removed from Laramidian species by some Asian taxa in the first place and the fact that, as I have already alluded to, there were several dispersal events between Asia and North America and then the case for anagenesis in Laramidian tyrannosaurines becomes very complex indeed .
Interesting again is how this analysis tends to support that of Myashita et al from earlier and contrasts with that of Loewen et al which favours a southern radiation for Laramidian tyrannosaurines. The origins of these formidable tyrannosaurids looks set to be undetermined for some time to come.
Finally, and moving away from tyrannosaurids, Joseph Sertich, of the Denver Museum of Science & Nature, and his colleagues unveiled another giant theropod but this time in the form of a primitive abelisaurid. This specimen has proven to be remarkably popular and there were lots of extremely interested workers at SVP and, again, in the palaeoworld since the meeting.
The specimens derive from the Lapurr sandstone in the Turkana Basin of Kenya and are rocks of Maastrichtian age. Elements include some from the skull and those from both axial and appendicular skeleton. Unfortunately, a lot of this material is scrappy and poorly preserved but is diagnostic enough to be able to refer these specimens to the Abelisauridae.
However, the size of the animal is readily evident and is confidently predicted to be in the region of eleven metres long – maybe more but there appears to be no significant cranial ornamentation on this taxa unlike other abelisaurids. This large theropod was part of a diverse fauna that is now coming to life as more fossils are found and include sauropods, ornithopods, theropods, pterosaurs and crocodiles and, despite most of the fossils that have so far been recovered being scrappy, there is every likelihood of yet more surprises to come from this intriguing part of Africa.
Well it is the time of year when the season of goodwill should be the order of the day. It has been a very busy year for me and, as a result, I have not been able to post as often as I would like but, rest assured, I will always endeavour to post as often as I can. Between the amount of work I have and also looking after the interests of the group (which is important for all of us) time is of a premium just now - but we will get there in the end.
Thanks for all your support over the last year and now it just remains for me to say that, to those of you who celebrate it, I hope you all have a happy and peaceful Christmas. Enjoy!
