Transvestism and the third gender: how the mask is the expression of the self in the work of Nan Goldin
The "third gender", in those societies who recognize more than two sexual genders, usually refers to people who are not categorized as either male or female. Biologically, all the human beings are divided into these two categories. However, if we consider the word "gender" as defining the role that an individual assumes in a society, the identity of a person, the sexual orientation or everything else that could epitomize the word "gender", it becomes difficult to reduce the whole variety of humans to only two categories. On the bases of this assumption, the third sex can be considered as an intermediate state between male and female: it could be both, it could be neither or it could be totally independent from them. This third definition is commonly agreed in the debate for the interpretation of this "other" gender (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_gender).
Most of those who identify themselves with the third gender have the tendency to modify their behaviours and bodies in order to match their inner feelings, which may not have anything to do with being either male or female. Therefore, they use the "mask" to express their identity. This is exactly the opposite of the function of the mask, which is commonly used to hide the identity. In fact, the mask as an expression of the self is crucial to transvestism. It is interesting how the third gender, in the world of transvestites, can be regarded as the self-identity that manifests itself through the mask, thus breaking the schemes imposed by society, and challenging the common assumption that the mask is a disguise.
Transvestites have often been chosen as subjects in the works of many photographers, such as the world-renowned Diane Arbus, American, famous for her work in the 60s about marginal and deviant people like dwarfs, giants, nudists and transvestites. Also a less known Italian photographer, Alessandro Vincenzi, has recently published an interesting reportage about transvestites, "India: The Transgender World" ("Himal Magazine", Nepal – India, August 2010). Among photographers who have made an attempt to interpret the world of transvesters, I believe that Nan Goldin is the one who has best understood their inner world, feelings, secrets, issues. A comparison has to be made between the approach to photography of Diane Airbus and that of Nan Goldin. While the former considers the camera as a shield to protect herself, for the latter the camera is a barrier between the photographer and the subject.
Nan Goldin, who currently lives between New York and Paris, was born in 1953 in Washington, D.C., from an upper-middle class Jewish family. She was introduced to photography by a teacher at high school at the age of fifteen. She grew up in Boston, where she graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, before moving to New York. In her work her life becomes the subject. In fact, all her relationships are documented in series of snapshots, which she describes as "the form of photography that is most defined by love" (I'll be your mirror, 1996, p. 450).
Her first series of pictures were photographic journeys among the gay and transsexual communities in Boston, to which she had been introduced by her best friend David Armstrong. When looking at these pictures the viewer is immediately absorbed into her world and the world of her subjects, thus becoming part of their lives and identifying himself in their stories.
"The Other Side" was a club popular among transvestites in Boston in the early 70s. In this place, which is also the name of one of her photo-books (1992), Nan Goldin started to take her pictures, between 1971 and 1973. Some of the subjects were drag queens – men that get dressed and act like women for the purpose of entertaining or performing. She was so fascinated by their beauty that she treated them with all the respect their name demanded, as they were regal for real. And this is clear in her photographs. According to Goldin's vision, the queens embody freedom, beauty and courage. This third gender is the real winner in the quarrel between men and women. As Nan Goldin puts it, "the people in these pictures are truly revolutionary; they are the real winners in the battle of the sexes because they have stepped out of the ring" (from Goldin's introduction of "The Other Side").
Her devotion to the queens was so deep that they remained for several years one of her favourite subjects. Looking at these photographs, the observer can better understand the value that Goldin gives to the refusal of traditional schemes recognized and accepted by society. Her approach is delicate and human, since the queens are her friends and her family. Therefore, there is no judgment, only participation. Goldin wrote: «I believe one should create from what one knows and speak about one's tribe. You can only speak with true understanding and empathy about what you've experienced» (http://www.brain-juice.com/cgi-bin/show_bio.cgi?p_id=88). Nan Goldin's photography seems to be an act of love towards these people, that she considers beautiful and fascinating. It is a caress that she gives through the camera.
Nan Goldin is not afraid of this "other side", as her will is to investigate their identity. She has the courage to face up what she sees and document it faithfully, looking through their skin, hairstyle, make up, daily life and the relationship between them. As for technical characteristics of Goldin's photography, she starts shooting first in black and white and later in colour. She makes an intensive use of artificial light and she normally captures her subjects in very narrow spaces, such as the back seat of a taxi, a bathroom or a dressing room. When you look at her portraits you feel like you are there with the queens, at that very moment. The subjects of the picture become tangible and close to you. You have the impression that you have met them before or even know them.
Misty and Jimmy Paulette in a Taxi, NYC, 1991 – Cibachrome print, 76,2 x 101,6 cm.
We know them because Nan is a portraitist of souls. She looks through the eyes of her subjects, in both directions, and her purview additionally takes in friends, lovers, artifacts, clothing, rooms: the soul's context. She sees herself in her subjects; the doors between her life and her work are kept wide open. And that is why, when I look at her pictures, even of people and places far removed from my daily existence, I see my own life, then and now. This is not always pleasant – sometimes it can be extraordinarily painful, dredging up old but unburied feelings and unresolved knots and continuing fears – but Nan's work won't let anyone stop at pain. The journey is longer than that. (Luc Sante, "I'll be your mirror", 1996, p. 103)
For many cultures, like the African tribes, being photographed is a way to let other people steal your soul. According to Goldin, as she tells her friends David Armstrong and Walter Keller, "the wrong people had the camera". And she adds: "I always say if you're photographing your own tribe, then there's not that danger of the soul being stolen. I think that you can actually give people access to their own soul" (I'll be your Mirror, 1996, p. 454). Thus, photographing is for Goldin a kind of homage, a way to keep friends always alive, tracing their history. This was one of the reasons why she started to take photographs: a way not to lose her closest people. In this framework, it is important to mention that Nan Goldin lost her sister, who committed suicide at the age of eighteen, when she was only twelve years old. This tragic event in her life further had an influence on her photography.
Picnic on the Esplanade, Boston, 1973 – Cibachrome print, 49.8 x 61cm.
This photograph, among the first Goldin made in colour, shows many of the features that made her one of the first and foremost exponents of the snapshot aesthetic. This Easter picnic by the river in Boston shows Goldin's 'family' at the time, one of the happiest periods in her life. She was living with a group of drag queens, her heroines, and had already amassed a huge body of black-and-white photographs of them. It shows her lifelong obsession with social rituals and the pleasures of communal life. Over time she would lose many people in this group to AIDS and drug addiction (Guido Costa, 2001, pp. 16-17).
She used to refer to the group of drag queens as "her family", since they were her world when she left her biological family and started to live with them in Boston, sharing the same apartment and nightlife, before moving to New York. This collection of photos of drag queens is also part of "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency", a slide show, where drags and transvestites are depicted as members of a family album, in a series of snapshots. Due to her attitude to photographing people, even subjects who might easily appear as diverse and bizarre become normal and common. Although she largely uses the potential of objectivity offered by the camera, the approach to her own tribe becomes a clue of the sentimental values which arising from her membership to the context she photographs. According to Goldin, there is no distance to reveal, she does not even aim at capturing stories of diversity, as only the "be there" prevails. The act of photographing itself is the evidence of an emotional involvement. Due to this approach it is possible to perceive the spontaneity of that particular moment as part of an unfiltered reality – a world without any prejudices and questions. In Nan Goldin's worlds, "a picture is a way of touching someone, a caress, and acceptance, a desire to grasp the truth and accept it without trying to make a personal version".
In a conversation with David Armstrong and Walter Keller, Nan Goldin says:
It's about trying to feel what another person is feeling. There's a glass wall between people, and I want to break it. One of the misunderstandings about my work is that I go into relationships with people because they are spectacular photographic subjects. Whereas the emotional need comes first, and then the pictures. And the people that I've been attracted to had nothing to do with photography. It wasn't, Oh, I'm gonna get involved with drag queens, 'cause they'll be good photographic subjects – it was a much deeper connection…a sort of recognition of something.
WK: Of what?
NG: Of my own complicated sense of gender. Or…of something that I loved. You know, the beauty, the transcendence of male-female classification, the humor, and the courage. I was just really deeply touched, as a young person, as I still am. I wasn't even a photographer at the beginning, when I went to live with the queens (Nan Goldin, I'll be your mirror, 1996, pp.448-449).

On the right – Bea in her Chair, Boston, 1972 – Gelatin silver print, 51 x 41 cm.
When she started to take pictures, she unintentionally documented her friends' passage from adolescence to adulthood. Within this change she also started to record their exterior transformation: a different dress style and new make up, a new hair cut or hair left to grow long. In the 70s her friends mostly got their style inspiration from fashion magazines, like Vogue, a kind of manifesto of sex and desire. The camera became the means for witnessing the birth of this new identity. Every detail in the pictures taken in this period seems to epitomize the femininity of Goldin's friends: from their poses to the domestic environment and the softness of the lights.

On the right – Kim in rhinestones, Paris, 1991 – Silver dye bleach print, 101.8 x 69.5cm.
The focus of Nan Goldin's work is the human body, fragile yet strong, tiny yet full of presence, surrounded by affection, love, and destructive tendencies. The face that belongs to this body is often turned towards us. It looks at us. Her photographic work can thus be read as an encyclopedia of gazes. […] Nan Goldin is very close to what she sees and photographs. She is in the seeing of it. Yet because she accompanies her friends across the years, creating sequences, there is also a certain element of refraction which, paradoxically, triggers this impression in the first place (Joachim Sartorius – Deep pictures of us all, "I'll be your mirror", 1996, p. 323).
The issue of the mask is related to the dicotomy between being and appearance. The lack of a correspondence between them is a major concern in the idea of the world as will and representation. Thus the mask comes from the divergence between being and appearance. Form can only be seen by the observer as a disguise, which is something that altough does not belong to men, yet it is deliberately used by men for some purpose. The camouflage is usually adopted either to fight a state of fear and weakness, or as an outward expression of an inner reality. In both cases, however, it is linked to the struggle for existence. Through the work of Nan Goldin it is possible to feel this conflict and identify yourself in the subjects of her pictures, thus challenging the appearance and going beyond the "mask". This is probably Nan Goldin's greatest homage the "third gender" debate. Through her work, she has started some sort perpetual reflection between mirrors: a reality which is reflected in another reality and still mantains its own identity.
The work has always been misunderstood as being about a certain milieu of drugs and parties and the underground. And altough I'd say that my family is still marginal and that we don't wanna be part of normal society, I don't think the work was ever been about that. I think the work has always been about the condition of being human and the pain, the ability to survive and how difficult that is (Nan Goldin talking about her work in the video "Contacts").

Chapter 5: Academic Integrity and Documentation
Academic Integrity
In writing from source materials, integrity is the standard. Integrity and documentation are interrelated. Without standards for academic honesty, documenting sources has little meaning.
You should be aware of UMUC's policies concerning academic integrity and academic dishonesty, which are stated in the Undergraduate Catalog and the Student Policy Manual. These policies are of special interest to writers because they describe the act of plagiarism as an act of academic dishonesty that frequently occurs in writing. To avoid plagiarism, you should understand it thoroughly and take steps to guard against it as you conduct research and write papers and other assignments. The Undergraduate Catalog states:
Academic dishonesty is failure to maintain academic integrity. Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to obtaining or giving aid on an examination, having unauthorized prior knowledge of an examination, doing work for another student, and plagiarism.
Plagiarism is the presentation of another person's idea or product as one's own. Plagiarism includes (but is not limited to) copying verbatim all or parts of another person's work; using phrases, charts, figures, illustrations, computer programs, or mathematical or scientific solutions without citing the source; paraphrasing ideas, conclusions, or research without citing the source; and using all or part of a literary plot, poem, film, musical score, or other artistic product without attributing the work to its creator.
Students can avoid unintentional plagiarism by carefully following accepted scholarly practices. Notes taken for papers and research projects should accurately record sources of material to be cited, quoted, paraphrased, or summarized, and papers should acknowledge those sources in footnotes. (University of Maryland University College, 2001-2002, p. 222)
In general, you should:
- Acknowledge the source of all evidence, from rumors to formal documents. Also acknowledge all outside help, whether from a person; an electronic source, such as a Web site, an e-mail communication, or a listserv; and any other source.
- Consider everything in print or electronic format as protected by copyright.
- Document all written, filmed, videotaped, audiotaped, and electronic sources of information.
- Use the documentation style appropriate for your discipline.

Guantanamo Bay Justice on Trial
By Matthew C. Waxman
Adjunct Senior Fellow for Law and Foreign Policy
The Pentagon has authorized a military commission trial at Guantanamo for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others accused of orchestrating the September 11 attacks. The charges include murder in violation of the law of war, attacking civilians and civilian objects, hijacking aircraft, and terrorism. If convicted, the five suspects could face the death penalty.
The headlines about this may sound very familiar. Back in 2008, the Bush administration had charged them in a military commission, but the Obama administration suspended the case upon coming into office. The Obama administration then planned to bring the case to a civilian federal court in New York, but congressional and local opposition forced it to shelve those plans.
This time the trial is likely to go forward, though it is difficult to predict what sort of trial it will be: Will KSM and his co-defendants plead guilty and seek to be executed as martyrs, or will they contest the charges? Regardless, it seems clear that in the court of world opinion, it will be the military commissions system and U.S. detention and interrogation practices that are on trial too.
The current military commissions system is much more robust and procedurally fair than the original system established by an early Bush administration executive order. Its rules, procedures and defendant protections have been improved significantly as a result of executive branch revisions, Supreme Court rulings, and congressional legislation. The current system now includes reforms to the evidentiary rules, for example, that the Obama administration proposed to and worked out with Congress early in 2009, and the military commission prosecutor's office has been working to make the system more transparent. Experience to date also shows that these are not at all the kangaroo courts some critics make them out to be.
However, a minimum level of public legitimacy at home and abroad is required for military commissions to be effective--not just legally effective in the short-term, but strategically effective in providing a viable counterterrorism tool while sustaining international counterterrorism cooperation. The Obama administration will therefore need to defend the system more persuasively and forcefully than it has.
While often briefly noting their appropriateness in some cases, senior Obama officials do not make the case for military commissions with the same vigor they employ, for instance, in defending other counterterrorism tools such as targeted killing. Indeed, the administration has been quite explicit in saying that its general preference is to use civilian criminal trials for Guantanamo detainees (an option that Congress has worked to block) rather than military commissions, and it has not explained clearly or consistently how it chooses between them or between prosecution and detention without any trial at all. The Obama administration's ambivalence about the military commissions system it inherited is perhaps understandable, but it shows--and those internal doubts may contribute to public cynicism and therefore become self-fulfilling.

Those of you who follow me on Twitter (@EpicPennyPouch) know that I'm still around. I got bored of gold making routine quickly when I hit the gold cap and was just playing the game for a while. Then the patch 4.3 brought us the transmogrification feature and the whole new market of BoE xmogging gear evolved. Keelhaul aka Mogfather (@DEazeroth) showed us its possibilities and right now I'm full into it, xmogging my toons and selling gear to other players.
Today I will do just a short post to share with you what I found out while making my own xmogging outfit. My rogue wears full Defias Leather set (on the second picture) but you can't get the chest anymore so I will be talking mostly about another set with a similar look.
|Scouting Garb
|Defias Leather set
Scouting Garb is one of the most popular choices among rogues, and I even met a resto druid who wanted to look like a ninja (on the first picture). There is one problem with this set though - Scouting Spaulders are of common (white) quality and cannot be used for xmogging. But I have an answer for you - Cloaked Shoulderpads!
These shoulders come from one of the inscription decks - a Swords Deck. They look exactly like those from the Scouting set but are of rare (blue) quality. With the revamp of the Darkmoon Faire low level inscription decks are no longer used for getting the DF reputation and can be bought from the AH quite cheap as well as single cards "of Swords". You need 4 cards, the Ace through 4, to complete the deck.
Current prices for US realms:
Swords Deck - 104g
2 of Swords - 11g
3 of Swords - 22g
4 of Swords - 14g
Ace of Swords - 14g
Total for a deck: 61g
If you have a scribe with a skill level 125, you can make Swords cards using 2 x Dawnstar Ink. Spell is called Strange Tarot. It may be a nice way to use those extra inks that are usually just gathering dust or are getting vendored. Of course, there will be RNG involved in this case.
This is what I sell these shoulders for:
Probably, you can try to get more for them, if there are none on the AH.
The other two choices you get from the deck are cloth Darkcloth Shoulders and mail Azure Shoulderguards. The first share the model and colors with two low level dungeon drops (Batwing Mantle and Flameseer Mantle) and the second are unique but I don't sell those as there are lots of better looking mail shoulders out there.
In conclusion I would like to make a quick overview of the other 3 low level decks and what gear you can get from them.
Rogues Deck: Darkmoon Robe, Darkmoon Vest, Darkmoon Chain Shirt
All of these are too common and as such are not good for flipping.
Mages Deck: Darkmoon Necklace, Darkmoon Pendant
These are of rare (blue) quality and in absence of heirloom necklaces they may be actually useful for leveling toons. I was selling them on my scribe for 70-100g a piece.
Demons Deck: Darkmoon Dirk, Darkmoon Executioner, Darkmoon Magestaff
These are of rare (blue) quality, but they don't look good enough for xmogging and most leveling toons use heirloom weapons or dungeon drops.
And don't forget that to complete the quests, started by these low level decks, you don't have to go to the Darkmoon Faire and it doesn't have to be running, just click the deck to summon a Darkmoon Fortune Teller and turn in your quest.
And don't forget that to complete the quests, started by these low level decks, you don't have to go to the Darkmoon Faire and it doesn't have to be running, just click the deck to summon a Darkmoon Fortune Teller and turn in your quest.
Have a nice day!

Hollywood loves a comeback, and few have been more welcome than Kermit the Frog's return to the big screen in "The Muppets," this year's big Thanksgiving release. As audiences, showbiz movers and shakers and maybe even Oscar (the gold guy, not the Grouch) pay close attention to the amphibian actor's renewed high profile, Kermit talked with us (really, he sat down and talked to us) and reveals that maybe it's a little easier bein' green after all these years.
Did you imagine that you'd be welcomed back with such open arms?
Well, I think we have this sort of core fan base. We keep up with them on the Internet all the time. I expected those folks to welcome us back, but you never know about the rest of the world. Times have changed and people can get cynical. Who knows if The Muppets would've had a place, but it sounds like we do.
This film is really true to the heart of what The Muppets have always been about. What did it mean to you to come back in that way and not sell out, in a sense?
It's extremely important. I mean, our story in this film is about The Muppets having not been together for a long, long time. We all get back together. In fact, I think I stretched in my performance with this. I'm playing a Kermit the Frog that's very sad and down, but that's actually just the story. Us Muppets have been together for all these years and we do actually try to stay very true to who we are. I think that explains our whole connection to the audience. We sort of appeal to the frog and bear and pig and chicken in everybody.
You're a huge star. Have you seen people get really nervous around you?
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
I have, and it's kind of silly, really. I'm just a simple little frog. I don't really think of myself as being a big star. I know I've done lots of movies and stuff, but I'm pretty simple, really. I don't really get into the whole Hollywood lifestyle, and when I'm not working I just go back to the swamp. I'm just like everyone else. I'm just a guy from the swamp. I don't want people to be nervous. I get a little nervous around people sometimes, because I'm quite small and I have to watch where I step and watch where they step.
What's one of the biggest high points of your career that you remember?
Wow – I've had a lot! I do have to say that as big of a thrill it is to be back in a big movie – that's one of them – but something I did a few years ago that was really cool was that I went to the Queen of England's 75th birthday party. It was a party at the palace and there was every rock star in the world. I got to do a little thing with Paul McCartney and Rod Stewart and people like that. That's pretty cool. I've gotten to do a few things like that, like commencement speeches at Oxford University. I met the Clintons when they were inaugurated. Those are always cool things. I don't think you're average frog gets to do that sort of stuff.
I don't want to go down too much of a tabloid route, but I think your fans are curious as to how things stand with you and Miss Piggy right now?
I don't want to go down a tabloid route either! It's fine at the moment: we're in two separate rooms. It's kind of an hour-by-hour process. You kind of have to put the meter on it and see where the needle goes every couple of hours. I mean, at the end of the day, and I mean no disrespect, she's a sow and she's a pig. Pigs can be a little temperamental – a little hard to predict.
I imagine that a lot of very famous ladies have flirted with you given your celebrity status –
Yeah, but when you're a single frog in Hollywood –
How do you deal with that?
Well, I never kiss and tell: I might kiss; I wouldn't tell. I try to keep in mind that Piggy and I have been together for a long time. Our relationship has its ups and downs, but a little harmless flirting is okay. You might not want to tell her I said that – or maybe you DO want to tell her. But there was that little moment with Reese Witherspoon. I met Rashida Jones on this movie – we had a little spark. Amy Adams was already married with a child, and I didn't want to go there. I'm not Justin Bieber.
You've been on "Saturday Night Live," you've hosted "The Tonight Show," you've had hit records and huge movies. What's left for Kermit the Frog?
I think that I've kind of done it all. I sort of like the idea that even after all these years I can still have fun and make people laugh and tell jokes and be silly and dance and do stuff like that. I like to think that we might actually, somewhere underneath it all, inspire people to be the best part of themselves. That would be good.
And yet you've stayed a very humble frog. How have you kept your flippers on the ground?
When you're as close to the ground as I am it's important. You don't want to get too high and mighty. My best advice for everyone is don't believe your own PR. I think that's very important.
Jim Henson was the man who helped you all get your start. Can you tell me your thoughts and feelings about him at this point?
Well, we miss him a lot. But I have to say that he sort of lifted me to new heights. That's sort of a pun, but it's true. I hope that we do him justice.
"The Muppets" opens in theaters everywhere Nov. 23.

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) Josh Crittle's go-ahead basket with 53 seconds remaining helped UIC to a 50-44 upset of Northwestern on Saturday.
Crittle finished with a team-high 13 points, and Gary Talton's two free throws with 29 seconds left sealed the win for the Flames (6-1).
The Wildcats committed 16 turnovers and were just 10 of 20 from the free-throw line. Alex Olah missed two free throws with 3:16 remaining, and on the Flames' ensuing possession, Marc Brown converted an easy layup to give UIC a 44-42 lead. The Flames never trailed again.
Joey Miller's jumper tied the game at 35 with 10:23 left, erasing UIC's five-point second-half deficit. Two minutes later, Brown's three-point play gave the Flames a 38-35 lead.
Northwestern was fortunate to be leading at the half, 26-25, thanks to 29 percent first-half shooting by the Flames.
Drew Crawford scored a game-high 18 points for the Wildcats (6-2).

Homegrown terror suspect reignites French fears
Issued on: Modified:
The death of suspected terrorist Jérémie Louis-Sidney during a police raid in Strasbourg on Saturday has reignited terrorism fears in France, particularly because he appears to have been a home-grown militant, radicalised on French soil.
For Jérémie Louis-Sidney, France's latest home-grown terror suspect, the end came swiftly and violently.
On Saturday morning, the 33-year-old Frenchman was sitting on a couch in a Strasbourg apartment when special anti-terror police officers stormed into the premises, according to police sources.
Louis-Sidney immediately fired at them with a .357 Magnum, emptying his Smith & Wesson pistol barrel before he was shot dead by police.it
Three police officers were injured – including one who was shot in the chest and another in the head. They were both protected by their helmets and body armour.
Louis-Sidney, a recent convert to Islam, was in the home of "one of his two religious wives" – a 22-year-old woman – her 6-year-old daughter and a one-month-old infant, according to Paris prosecutor François Molins.
But not much is known about the man at the heart of Saturday's nationwide anti-terror raids that resulted in Louis-Sidney's death and the arrests of 11 other terror suspects.
French police say Louis-Sidney was a suspect in the September 19 bombing of a kosher grocery store in the gritty northern Parisian suburb of Sarcelles.
Saturday's crackdown was directed at a suspected Salafist network believed to be behind the kosher grocery bombing, which was conducted by "a low-grade explosive device". One person was lightly injured in the attack, which caused considerable alarm among France's Jewish community.
According to police sources, DNA identified on the grenade was traced to Louis-Sidney, who had been under surveillance since last spring.
Hollande pledges to fight extremism and anti-Semitism
The kosher grocery bombing and the subsequent anti-terror raids come at a time of heightened security across France following the publication of cartoons lampooning the Prophet Mohammed in a French satirical weekly. The publication came days after violent demonstrations against an anti-Islam film produced in the US broke out across the Muslim world.
Tensions are high in the Jewish community after a series of attacks and threats. These have ranged from death threats against the chief rabbi of Lyon to an attack – with a hammer and iron bars on three young Jewish men.
On Sunday, French President François Hollande met with Jewish leaders at the Elysee presidential palace and pledged to fight extremism and anti-Semitism "with the greatest firmness".
"The state is totally mobilised to fight all terror threats," said Hollande, who vowed that "planned anti-terror laws will be put before parliament as soon as possible."
Hollande also noted that France, home to Europe's largest Muslim population, should not "stigmatise" its estimated four million adherents.
"The Muslims of France are not all Islamist fanatics," he said. "They are also victims."
Meanwhile, French Interior Minister Manuel Valls warned of a surge in home-grown Islamist radicals.
"There is a terrorist threat in France," said Valls in a radio interview Sunday. "It does not appear to come from foreigners, it appears to be French converts."
A petty criminal, radicalised in prison
The latest crackdown came nearly seven months after police gunned down Mohammed Merah, the 23-year-old suspect in the Toulouse shootings that left seven people dead, including three people at a Jewish school.
Paris prosecutor Molins described Sidney as "a delinquent who had converted to radical Islam".
Born in Melun, a town 60 kilometres south of Paris, Sidney had a history of petty crime, according to police sources.
In 2008, he was sentenced to two years in prison in a drug trafficking case and is believed to have become radicalised while in jail.
He had recently moved into the quiet Esplanade neighbourhood of Strasbourg, but he frequently visited the southern French city of Cannes, where his other "wife" lived.
It was not known if Louis-Sidney had travelled abroad to study Islam or on jihadist missions – as was the case with Merah, who had travelled to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
According to Strasbourg prosecutor Patrick Poirret, Sidney had shaved his beard when he arrived in the eastern French city – a sign, said Poirret, that he was ready to conduct a terror mission and end his life "as a martyr".
Strasbourg police sources say Louis-Sidney had four wills, as well as a list of Jewish associations in the Paris region, all of which were recovered in Saturday's raids.
French police said stop-and-search missions continued throughout Sunday. Louis-Sidney's residence in Cannes – where he lived with one of his "wives" – was also raided Saturday. His other wife was taken in for questioning in Strasbourg.

But for Ivan Kljakovic Gaspic (CRO) that dream came true as he successfully defended his Finn European Championship title in the medal race of the 2010 Finn Open Senior and Junior European Championships in Split, Croatia. The Junior title went to Ioannis Mitakis (GRE), also defending the title he won in 2009.
After a shifty and gusty medal race, Kljakovic Gaspic placed second to retain his title, saying,"This has been one of the toughest regattas of my life." Third place for Ed Wright (GBR) secured him the silver medal while fifth for Daniel Birgmark (SWE) left him with the bronze.
For the first time in the whole regatta, racing started on time, first time. It was all about the shifts and they came through at frequent intervals with large gusts mixed in. It was a fantastic test of sailing skill.
The two Croatians, Mate Arapov and Kljakovic Gaspic jumped out of the start on the first few shifts and were not really ever challenged for the lead. Race one winner, Arapov led throughout the race with Kljakovic Gaspic just behind. The chasing pack was led mainly by Wright and Birgmark, while regatta leader Rafa Trujillo (ESP) rounded the first mark last and with too much to do.
Kljakovic Gaspic takes up the story,
"Today was a really tough day and I knew yesterday when I saw the weather forecast that it was going to be really shifty and gusty as well because we had the racing area really close to the hill."
"I knew I had to get a clear start because you need clear wind so you can tack whenever you want and I got a perfect start, I think. I got the first couple of shifts and gusts right and got clear on the upwind so I could control the fleet in the rest of the race."
"On the first downwind I was super fast and I got a couple of really strong gusts just at the mark rounding and I flew away from the pack. Then I was totally clear to sail my own race. On the second beat I controlled the fleet through the gusts and on the last downwind it was just about finishing the race and not making any disasters like capsizing or crashing. I think I performed really well today and I am proud of myself."
At times the Croatians had built a lead of close to 100 metres. Oscar flag was raised for free pumping on the final leg and the fleet behind closed up a bit with Kljakovic Gaspic almost catching Arapov at the finish.
In the end there were only eight finishers. Jonathan Lobert (FRA), mistakenly assuming that Oscar flag for free pumping was up, picked up his second yellow flag so had to retire while team mate Thomas Le Breton (FRA) unfortunately fell ill overnight and was unable to sail.
Wright said of his race, "It was a very tricky race - as it's been all week. The wind was off the land so we had very shifty and gusty conditions. I good a pretty good start but I couldn't really tack because there were a lot of boats on my hip. The Croatian, Mate, managed to tack and cross and he was away for the race. On the first run they just got away really and we were just trying to catch them the rest of the race." "But considering where I was at the beginning of the week I am pretty happy with second."
Third placed Birgmark said, "Today you had to cash in the whole time, taking every shift as it arrived. I had a reasonably good start, but the left end of the line paid off so I lost a bit there to the two Croatians, Mate and Bambi, but then I managed to come up in the middle of the fleet. I had a good chance for silver and Ed was very close to me. But I am very happy with the bronze here though."
"It's been hard conditions this week, but even though we have only had six races, they have been reasonably fair, and they have been good races. We would have liked to have more races of course, but the ones we did were not bad at all."
Just after the medal race the final race for the rest was completed with the race win going to Florian Raudaschl (AUT) from Ioannis Mitakis (GRE) and Michael Maier (CZE). This left Dan Slater (NZL) in 11th overall, having missed he medal race by just one point.
In the Junior European Championship, Ioannis Mitakis had already retained the title he won in 2009 with a race spare, and with a second place in the final race he ended up an impressive 12th overall. The two Americans, Luke Lawrence (USA) and Caleb Paine (USA) went into the final race in silver and bronze positions. A 16th for Lawrence and a 54th for Paine left them in 30th and 40th overall and well clear of fourth paced Josip Olujic (CRO) from the host club.
Kljakovic Gaspic concluded, "Winning the event at home is I think impressive because it's one thing to win a race somewhere else as there is always some pressure, but it's just on you. But back home you have thousands of people looking at you and everyone's interested in this. All my friends are calling, sending texts and emails. Everyone means well but you feel big pressure and it's not so easy. But I managed to stay cool with good consistent sailing and not to many stupid mistakes and in the end I did really well and am so proud I won another Europeans back home because this was really big pressure event for me."

Lydia's obit in the NYT today is a wonderful tribute to a woman who brought a lively presence to the often boring scholarhship of art history .
ArtCritic January 22nd, 2010 | 3:49pm
Zany Lydia with the red hair will be missed, and luckily, her spunky art will live on. Once, while lecturing, the story goes, she saw a young co-ed in the hall sound asleep; calling out to her she said, dear, you must be tired and need a rest, and so she stopped the lecture and dismissed the class, so the girl could retire to her bed.

Raleigh, NC — Peak Fitness, which has a chain of 28 clubs in North Carolina, settled a lawsuit with state Attorney General Roy Cooper's office last month, resulting in the club company changing its billing and refund policies.
The consent judgment was approved by a Wake County (NC) Superior Court judge. Peak Fitness will pay Cooper's office $30,000 for consumer education and investigative costs. Cooper's office has received around 300 complaints about Peak Fitness over the past five years, according to a press release from Cooper's office.
In the judgment, Peak Fitness agreed to a number of requirements. The company will designate a single point of contact to handle all consumer complaints, concerns and questions and clearly post contact information for Peak Fitness and its billing company in all Peak Fitness clubs, Web sites and customer contracts.
Peak Fitness will now purchase and maintain bonds for each club it operates in North Carolina. The bonds will be used to pay refunds to members if a club shuts down. The company also will give advance notice to club members and to Cooper's office as to when a club will close and when members will be transferred to another location.
Peak Fitness also must provide pro-rated refunds to customers of clubs that shut down within 90 days of their closing. Peak Fitness will not sell memberships to any club more than 180 days before it will open.
Peak Fitness must honor lifetime contracts purchased before 1980 at clubs now owned by Peak Fitness. The company had previously told members that lifetime memberships were illegal.
The judgment also bars Peak Fitness from making any false or misleading statements to consumers. Peak Fitness may not tell members that they can cancel their contracts at any time, that a club will not close or that a new club will open unless it is true.

Sleeping Bay is a rocky and rather muddy beach on the western side of Sandy Haven on the northern shore of Milford Haven Waterway.
Its name is relatively unknown, except to the locals, as it is only accessible at low tide by wading across Sandy Haven Pill round Sleeping Bay Point near Triple Stones near where the estuary is crossable by way of three slippery stepping stones.
It is no place for family beach-going as it is mainly Red Sandstone rocks and seaweed-strewn sand with an ever-present danger of being cut off by the tide, and no means of escape up the cliff. However, it is sheltered and, for those adventurous people who understand the tides and are prepared to watch the clock, it is an ideal sunbathing spot.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Coastal Footpath passes the southern end of the bay after crossing a field from Sandy Haven House and Skerryback Farm, so someone trapped there would be hard put to attract anyone's attention. Neighbouring beaches which are rather more hospitable are Lindsway Bay, Monk Haven, Longoar Bay, Butts Bay, Kilroom and Wenall Bay.
Sea anglers sometimes risk the tide to fish off Sleeping Bay beach and birdwatchers frequent the area 'twitching' for the waders and seabirds which have become accustomed to solitude along the tidewrack. Oystercatchers, dunlin, turnstone, sandpipers and ringed plover are often seen there together with nearly all the gull family and occasionally offshore the odd gannet from the 70,000-strong colony on the island of Grassholm will patrol up the Haven in search of a shoal to dive on.
Of passing interest to the maritime-minded are the two modern transit towers overlooking Butts Bay and Great Castle Head to guide the supertankers and other vessels up the channel on their way out of the Milford Haven Waterway.
Just round the corner to the east of the beach is the former site of the first oil refinery to be built on the north shore of the Haven in 1959, the Esso refinery, which was offcially opened by the Duke of Edinburgh in 1960. Esso has long gone, but in the last few years the South Hook Liquid Natural Gas Company has taken over the old Esso jetty and developed a terminal there for its massive LNG tankers.
The Esso refinery had a rather inauspicious start when the very first crude oil cargo was being unloaded in the summer of 1960 and five massive explosions ripped through the 36,000-ton tanker Esso Portsmouth, which had berthed the previous day dressed over-all with bunting to celebrate the historic occasion. Amazingly, but thankfully, only one crew member died in the blast, which was heard seven miles away in Haverfordwest and Pembroke. The accident was caused by a spark from one of the jetty loading arms as it struck the ship, which was badly damaged in the disaster. It was, however, rebuilt, with an added mid-section to make it even longer.

For this week's High On Android ROM of the Week, check out Gummy ROM! It is available for many Android smartphones like Note 2, Note 3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, HTC One M7/M8, Nexus 4/5/7, LG G2, and some more.
Based on latest Android 4.4.4 sources, Gummy ROM is an AOSP ROM (What is AOSP?) that brings you the latest and great Android 4.4.4 along with plenty of customization/features. After using many different custom ROMs, Gummy ROM is one of my favorite custom ROMs as it's very fast, stable, and comes with so many features you wouldn't want to live without.
Inside the core of Gummy ROM Settings, you will find Gummy Interface, which allows you to customize and tweak everything from your status bar, notification drawer, quick settings, hardware keys, soft keys, PIE Controls, HeadsUp pop-up notifications, Power Menu, Lockscreen, and plenty more. (See video overview for demo.)
Out of the box, you will find one of the fastest UI out there. There's plenty AOSP ROMs out there but Gummy ROM is definitely on my Top 5 list of the best AOSP custom ROMs. Although I really love CM11 ROM and have been enjoying on many of my phones for awhile, I find Gummy ROM is a lot more fun for tweaking your phone to the fullest with stuff like advanced Power Menu options, lockscreen notifications, etc…etc…
Overall, you will find a supercharged Android 4.4.4 experience. And yes, you can even install our HighOnAndroid OnePlus One Conversion kit (get the one without Lockscreen) to get additional features like OnePlus One theme, and Screencast/Audio FX app. If you haven't tried the latest Gummy ROM yet, definitely give it a go this week(end) and do let me know what you think!
Download Android 4.4.4 Gapps (Use stock or micro, depending on your device)
Download HighOnAndroid OnePlus One Conversion Kit No Lockscreen
NOTE: You need to use CWM Recovery to v188.8.131.52 or higher OR also TWRP Recovery to v126.96.36.199 or higher.
To install, reboot into recovery, make backup ROM, wipe data/factory reset, install ROM, install Gapps, install HighOnAndroid Conversion Kit (If you want OnePlus One camera, theme, AudioFX/Screencast apps), and reboot. (If for some reason you end up in a bootloop or get force-closed keyboard error on boot, reboot into CWM recovery, go to Mounts & Storage->format /system. For TWRP, go to Wipe->Advanced Wipe->Wipe /system.)

University Month
Exclusive to university students, our university month membership is only £25 a month and includes:
- UNLIMITED use of Fitness suite
- UNLIMITED use of the Weights room
- FREE exercise classes
- FREE personal exercise programme and progress checks
- FREE induction (all members must be inducted)
- NO contract
- NO joining fee
- All for only £25 a month!
How to become a university member
To become a university member please call or pop into the centre to book an induction. Inductions are required for all members. The fitness suite and weights room require separate inductions and you may book one at a time.
Once you have booked your induction simply come down for the booked time, show your proof of being a university student and pay for your month across the counter. After payment has been taken you will go with a fitness instructor to a private consultation room to complete a health questionnaire. This is necessary for all members to ensure that it is safe for you to exercise.
During the consultation you will discuss reasons for joining the gym and any goals you have. We also offer to record your height, weight, BMI and other body measurements for your own records however this is optional. Similarly we also offer diet advice if you would like some guidance in that area.
After the consultation you will be inducted in either the weights room or fitness suite (your choice) which involves the instructor showing you how to safely use all of the equipment and enough exercises for you to get started in the gym. You will then have a go to demonstrate you can safely perform the exercises and machines shown.
The entire induction and consultation process can take from 30-60mins depending on prior gym experience and if you choose to discuss your diet and have any optional measurements taken. We can induct two people at a time so if your partner, friend or family member is also joining the gym they can be inducted at the same time (providing they wish to use the same room as you). Inductions with two people typically last 50-90 minutes based on prior gym experience and measurements as discussed above.
Once you are inducted you may use the gym as much as you like during your month membership. If you wish to use both the fitness suite and weights room you must be inducted in both.

A coaching change roughly two-thirds into the 2008 season brought the Colorado Rapids within one minute of reaching the MLS Cup Playoffs. Englishman Gary Smith took over the club's head coaching duties on an interim basis in August after Fernando Clavijo and the team agreed to go their separate ways.
The season kicked off with the Rapids defeating the LA Galaxy 4-0 in front of a then record crowd of 18,713 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park tying a club-record for margin of victory. Terry Cooke was named the MLS Player of the Week for his one-goal, two-assist performance in that match.
The next 13 games were an up-and-down affair with the club failing to win two games in a row, but never losing more than two at a time. During this stretch, Tom McManus would score a 40-yard bomb against Chivas USA that would be among the Top-10 MLS Goals of the Year.
On the Fourth of July, Colorado would again set an attendance record for Dick's Sporting Goods Park (18,776) in another 4-0 victory, this time against the MLS Cup runners-up the New York Red Bulls. Five days later, Colin Clark would covert a penalty kick in the ninth round of a shootout to defeat UANL Tigres in an internationally friendly to win the Tecate Cup.
Pablo Mastroeni and Christian Gomez represented the Rapids in the 13th annual MLS All-Star Game in Toronto. Both players were named starters, as Gomez would go on to score in the match leading to a 3-2 victory over West Ham United.
In his first match at the helm, Smith guided the Rapids to a 2-1 victory over Kansas City on August 16.
The Rapids went undefeated in September posting a 3-0-1 record in the month that included two road victories. One of those road triumphs was a 5-4 win on a rainy night over New York at Giants Stadium. Conor Casey scored the fourth hat-trick in club history with the third coming in the 90th minute off a Mehdi Ballouchy cross.
Entering the final two games of the season, Colorado would need to win both to avoid missing the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time in team history. The Rapids first traveled to Los Angeles to take on Chivas USA and Casey would convert a penalty kick to keep the Rapids postseason hopes alive. In the season finale at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, the Rapids would carry a 1-0 lead over Real Salt Lake for 71 minutes before giving up a 90th minute equalizer to end their season.

Lacteals (lymph capillaries located in the small intestine) absorb dietary fats.
yes. every mucosal villi in the small intestine contains a venule(vein) and arteriole (artery) and a lymph vessel (specifacally lacteals). The lacteals (lymph vessels) serve an important function in the absorption of fats and other nutrients. The capillaires transport the products of digestion of dietary proteins and carbohydrates, and the lacteals transport those of dietary fats.
The lacteals, or lymph vessels do. The blood absorbs amino acids and sugars from the small intestine, while lacteals absorb triglycerides (fat), cholesterol, and the fat-soluble vitamins. These three nutrients are built up into chylomicrons in the epithelium of the small intestine, and it is these chylomicrons that are taken up by the lacteal.

CORRIE favourite Jennie McAlpine is gearing up to bring an Easter knees-up to a street near you.
The soap star will swap the Coronation Street cobbles for the DJ booth at Heaton Park Sports and Social Bar, Bury Old Road, for the next instalment of popular club night Bop Local.
The Easter Saturday Prestwich Bop Local event will see the 30-year-old, Fiz Stape in the ITV show, take to the decks after a stint at Bop Local in Chorlton last summer.
Jennie, who was born and bred in Bury, said: "It was a laugh.
"This is like my little tour of Manchester.
"We're bringing it North."
Bop Local gives people the chance to enjoy a fun night out, with great music but without having to spend a small fortune on drinks and taxis into the city centre.
The former St Gabriel's RC High School pupil said: "It's such a great concept.
"Maybe if you don't feel like going to an actual club.
"It's like nightclub meets christening buffet.
"It's Easter weekend, I'm hoping there will be some Easter eggs.
"It'll be good fun.
"I love my Manchester bands, there will definitely be that in there.
"I think I will be allowed to play a bit of pop.
"A bit of Kylie segued into The Stone Roses is perfect."
When Jennie is not playing DJ, she is a regular on the nation's favourite soap, having played Fiz since 2001.
In recent months, production of the show has moved from its 53-year-old base at Granada Studios to a new 7.7 acre site at Media City, Salford Quays, the subject of recent documentary, Coronation Street: a Moving Story which featured cast members past and present and Tony Warren, the show's creator.
Jennie, who lives in Manchester city centre, said: "They have built this amazing new place.
"It's been purpose built for us.
"Tony Warren was on the documentary.
"We are so lucky that he is still here and still part of the furniture really.
"I saw him the other week, he was looking round.
"It's amazing really. He created this, this is him. It wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him.
"He's still very much part of it."
Away from Corrie and Jennie also runs a restaurant with her partner Chris Farr — Annies, Old Bank Street, Manchester.
She said: "We've been open a year.
"It's called Annies because it's just off St Ann's Square but also, hopefully, the kind of place it is — it's a real home from home, traditional food that perhaps your grandma, or if you were lucky enough to have an auntie Annie, cooked.
"Cottage pie, Lancashire hotpot, home-cooked chips.
"I get a few of the Corrie lot in there."
As a teenager, Jennie entered a number of young comedian competitions at which she met Bolton funny man Peter Kay and it was her comic timing which impressed Corrie bosses, helping to land her a long-term contract at the age of 17.
She said: "I entered this competition for a young comedian.
"I think (Peter Kay) sort of judged it. He put me through which he has never really let me forget.
"He was kind of a mentor.
"It was a long time ago, he was very popular but he was kind of at the start of his fame.
"I think it's nice when people are local people to you, you can look up to them in a different way because it feels like they're from down the road and they've done it and you can do it.
"Someone from round the corner and they speak like you."
Jennie began honing her acting skills at Bury Parish Players followed by Carol Godby's Theatre Workshop and also appeared on stage at The Met in Bury.
She said: "I used to do all sorts of daft things there.
"I've not been for years, I really must do.
"It's really hard keeping up, every week I've got mates and people in shows.
"There's so much going on. It's amazing, the theatres. We are lucky in the city centre.
"Then we've got The Met, the Bolton Octagon which is amazing."
And while she admits she would like to tread the boards herself one day, following in the footsteps of former co-stars Julie Hesmondhalgh and Suranne Jones, she is more than happy on the Street, with storylines featuring drama and tears over the summer with on-screen partner Tyrone Dobbs, played by Walkden's Alan Halsall.
She said: "I love Corrie.
"I really, genuinely can't see a world without Coronation Street."
Tickets for the Easter Saturday Prestwich Bop Local, on April 19 at Heaton Park Sports and Social Bar, are available in advance for £6 at Pinto's, Fairfax Road, Prestwich, from boplocal.com or £7 on the night. Doors 8.30pm to 1am.
