Thanks for posting this.
Good article.,
There's a show on TV about a nurse like this...it's called "Mercy". For some reason, it hasn't gotten much publicity, but I think it's a very good show.

***Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Sprint. I received product samples to facilitate my review..***
Everywhere I go someone I know is wearing some sort of device that is tracking their steps, miles, sleep, etc. I've been wanting to try one ut for awhile so was extrememly excited to try out the Fitbit Flex as a #SprintMom
Make fitness a lifestyle with Flex™.
This slim, stylish device is with you all the time. During the day, it tracks steps, distance, and calories burned. At night, it tracks your sleep quality and wakes you silently in the morning. Just check out the lights to see how you stack up against your personal goal. It's the motivation you need to get out and be more active.
One thing I love about the fitbit flex is you can wear it with anything. To prove this Jennifer Burg from The Suburban Mom wore ours to the #ThorDarkWorldEvent Red Carpet. We looked great AND got our fitness on. PLUS, we both got our 20,000 steps in a day badge that day for extra motivation!
It's something simple and easy to add to your daily life and it actually makes you more accountable of your actions each day. I've even found myself stop taking elevators when wearing my fitbit so I can get the extra steps in. It's also fun that you can cheer on your friends and THET can help you reach your goals as well. The weekly update email helps see when your most active days, times, etc. are. It's (literally) taking a step in the right direction when it comes to everyday fitness.
Bottom Line
The fitbit Flex is something that should be on everyone's Christmas List this year. It's easy to charge, easy to use, and best of all it gets YOU to a healthier spot. You can't lose anything…..except for a few extra pounds 😉

Afghanistan violence soars, U.N. says
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, September 29, 2011
Kabul --
Violence in Afghanistan is up nearly 40 percent over last year, a U.N. report released Wednesday found, contradicting claims by the U.S.-led coalition that security has improved since last year.
The U.N. report, information for which is compiled by the U.N. mission in Kabul and submitted to the Security Council quarterly, said that as of the end of August, there had been an average of 2,108 "security incidents" each month this year, a 39 percent increase compared with the comparable period in 2010.
The average number of suicide attacks monthly, 12, remained unchanged, the report said, but more of those attacks were complex and coordinated, involving more than a lone bomber, the report said. The monthly average of three such complex attacks this year is 50 percent higher than the number for the like period in 2010.
A report from the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force in August painted a sharply different picture.

"Throughout 2011 ISAF has seen significant security improvements throughout Afghanistan and violence is down in 12 of the past 16 weeks as compared to the same period in 2010," the coalition's report said.
The U.N. report found that violence remained high in Afghanistan's south and southeast, areas where U.S. troops have stepped up operations against Taliban forces.
It also found that civilian casualties have risen steadily: up 5 percent in June, July and August from the same months last year. That followed a 15 percent increase that the United Nations reported for the first six months of the year.
All told, 971 Afghans died in violence from June through August, the U.N. report said. The actions of the Taliban and its allies caused 77 percent of those deaths, the report found. The United States and its allies caused 12 percent of those deaths.
Forty-five percent of civilian casualties were the result of suicide bombs and improvised explosive devices, the report said. The greatest coalition cause of death remained NATO air strikes.
U.S. toll in Afghanistan
As of Wednesday, at least 1,670 members of the U.S. military had died in Afghanistan as a result of the U.S.-led invasion of the country in late 2001, according to an Associated Press count. The latest identifications reported by the military:
Briseno-Alvarez Jr., Francisco J. 27, Army Spc.; Oklahoma City

Garrettsville – Months ago I challenged the James A. Garfield students to take an active part in a fundraising effort to kick off renovations to the schools' athletic facilities. Our students accepted the challenge with great fervor, and I am proud to report that the "Challenge Raffle" winner was drawn at noon on Friday, May 30th by Mayor Rick Patrick in the James A. Garfield Board Office. The winner of the $1,000 grand prize was Stephanie Kristoff. The winning ticket was sold to her by her son, kindergartner AJ Kristoff.
On behalf of the James A. Garfield Schools I would like to congratulate Mrs. Kristoff and thank everyone who sold and purchased tickets for the raffle. I would also like to thank Mrs. Sherry Jones for organizing this successful effort. Without her passion, organization and impeccable record-keeping we never would have been able to experience such success.
The final breakdown for the raffle is as follows:
Total Sales: $28,260.00
Expenses: $6,041.86
Net Profit: $22,218.14
It is important to note that $4,173.14 of the expenses went directly back to the kids in the form of t-shirts, gift cards and a skating party at Roller Hutt. These rewards kept the excitement and motivation going throughout the raffle.
With the funds collected, improvements will be made to the stadium this summer to make play safer for our athletes. As you drive by the stadium you will begin to see the following work taking place:
Phase 1 – Safety of players and fans – Total Cost: $17,938.57
? Replace wood posts and ropes with four foot safety fencing ($6,438.57)
? Install new goal posts ($0 – donated by G-Men Foundation)
? Stabilize visitor bleachers with a permanent concrete pad ($11,500)
? Move field away from home bleachers by 10 feet ($0)
The remaining $4,279.57 will be deposited to the JAG All Sports Booster account and used for Phase 2, which will focus on the spectator experience. The next steps for the project are outlined by the following Phases:
Phase 2 – Spectator seating
? Purchase safety and ADA compliant aluminum bleachers
? Construct new press box
Phase 3 – Fan experience
? Construct new concession booths
? Construct permanent ADA compliant restrooms
Phase 4 – Scoreboard and track
? Construction of all-weather track
? Installation of new field scoreboards
This is just the beginning of the work that needs to be done. Our athletic facilities are tired and need attention. It is inspiring to see so many individuals working together toward the goal of making them safer and more enjoyable for our students and spectators.
As always, if you have any questions, please call me directly in the office (330.527.4336) or on my cell (216.534.7413).

Street Smarts for Vendors
I am interested in selling my own custom-made jewelry at street craft fairs. What licenses or identification numbers do I need to sell at these events? I am in New York and probably would also do shows in Connecticut and New Jersey. —P.F., New York City
Whether you're selling at a street fair or displaying your jewelry in an upscale boutique, you need to register as a business. Typically in the startup stage, setting yourself up as a sole proprietor will do the job, says Martin Lehman, a small business counselor with the SCORE office in New York City, www.scorenyc.org. Sole proprietorships are the simplest form of business structure, used when one individual takes on all the business responsibilities and decisions for a company. The owner of a sole proprietorship has unlimited liability for the business, so be aware of that before you start your company.
"Register your business at the county clerk's office in your borough or the immediate area where the business will be located [presumably it will operate out of your home]. An EIN (employer identification number) is also required for most businesses," Lehman says. "Only sole proprietors with no employees are not required to have an EIN, since sole proprietors can use their Social Security numbers as an EIN."
When you register your company, you will be required to submit three copies of a form called "Certificate of Conducting Business as a Sole Proprietor." You can purchase this form from a legal stationery store in New York or through Blumberg Forms, www.blumberglegalforms.com, (800) 529-6278. Complete and notarize the form before you file it; the cost will be around $120, Lehman says.
"Your next step will be to establish a business bank account," Lehman says. "It is a good idea to keep records of all monies spent by the firm and to keep receipts for tax purposes." Of course, keeping sales records will also be important for your new company.
Make sure you begin the business registration process several weeks before the trade fair or event where you plan to debut your product, as it can take several weeks to get through the paperwork.
When you are going to sell your jewelry at a trade fair, you will likely have to register as a vendor so you can be listed as an official participant. If you're selling out-of-state, inquire early about what additional documents you'll need to operate in another jurisdiction.
"Register yourself as a trade-fair participant. There is usually a fee involved, and it is better to do it yourself than to have the trade-fair managers register you and charge you back," Lehman says. "This process also can sometimes take a few weeks to complete." Information on licensing for street fairs and flea-market vendors in New York City is available online at the city's department of consumer affairs: www.nyc.gov/html/sbs/nycbiz/html/starting/street_vendors.shtml.
"The street-fair licenses are only good for 30 days. You will need identification papers—a green card, driver's license, or non-driver's [photo ID], and in some cases a birth certificate. The names on your ID must all correspond with the registered name on your business," Lehman says. There are small fees required for most of the licenses you'll need to obtain.
Finally, you'll need to obtain a New York State sales tax number and collect sales tax on your sales. Ask for more information from your bank or get it online from the New York State Taxation & Finance Dept.: www.tax.state.ny.us.
For extensive information about starting a business in New York State, see the Web site of the governor's office: www.gorr.state.ny.us/Startbus.html. The City of New York also offers excellent advice, workshops, and links on entrepreneurship at its NYC Small Business Resource Center: www.nypl.org/research/sibl/smallbiz/sbrc/Pages/index.cfm.

And just like that, it is 2013. Happy New Year! I have a couple of 2012 recap posts coming up in the next few days (long-time readers know I ease into the New Year) as well as some resolutions. I did want to stop by and check in regarding my goals for the December Sanity Challenge, which could be best summarized as Sleep, Move, Dance, Stretch.
Overall, I was pleased with the outcome. Some highlights:
1. Sleep – I got at least 7 hours of sleep about 2/3 of this month, probably a bit more. I do feel better rested than I did going into December, which I am taking as a good sign. I think this is one thing where being a bit competitive with making sure one gets sleep can pay off.
2. Movement – I did some amount of movement 6 times a week every week in December, except one week mid-month where I think it was only 5 times. Overall, though, I am still really pleased. I also made it to DanceTrance 8 times this month, and to 11 vinyasa flow classes, with the balance of the workouts being gym workouts. Considering that this was on a month where I travelled for work, had family visiting, and included holidays, I would call that a win. I have come a long way since my Tuesday night promise and improving my movement routine generally.
3. Yoga – My December goal was a total of 12 yoga classes, including flow classes, restorative and yin. I made it to 11 flow classes, 2 restorative classes, and no yin. So again, overall, I am happy. I did also find that stretching at least 3 minutes after cardio workouts really helped. Despite the weather getting colder and colder, I feel limber than I usually do.
So to summarize, sleep, move, dance, stretch was a success. Staying sane and not stressed out was … less of a success. Comparatively though, keep the above goals in mind did help with my general stress levels. Next year, though, I will make the December Sanity Challenge include something more specific about reducing stress. Also, speaking of being competitive about making sure I get enough sleep, I am off to do just that. Happy 2013!!

A nod to grief, then back to business: NPC refuses to be distracted by Malaysia Airlines and Kunming disasters
Two national disasters that have left scores dead, injured or missing have not been allowed to interrupt the agendas of the NPC or CPPCC
Related topics
In many countries, national disasters can disrupt parliamentary sessions and dominate their agendas for days. But not on the mainland.
Apart from a minute's silence at the start of the National People's Congress (NPC) for victims of the deadly March 1 attack at Kunming's main train station, everything has been business as usual at the once-a-year parliamentary meeting in Beijing.
Neither did news of the disappearance of Beijing-bound Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 carrying 239 passengers and crew, including more than 150 Chinese nationals, dominate the discussions at the NPC and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
As the Malaysia Air mystery continues to grab headlines and raise speculation around the world about what happened, most state media were restrained from reporting on the event other than repeating Xinhua's official dispatches.
A gagging order purportedly from the propaganda department was reposted on hundreds of mainland microblog messages yesterday. Two state media journalists separately verified its authenticity .
"Media [outlets] are not allowed to analyse or comment on the incident. Reporting must strictly follow the authoritative accounts of the civil aviation authorities and Xinhua," it said.
It also said they should avoid interviewing victims' families and "provoking discontent". Instead, they should step up "propaganda" regarding the NPC sessions, it added.
On Saturday, state broadcaster CCTV's main newscast reported that President Xi Jinping ordered officials to handle matters regarding victims of their families in a proper manner.
But newscasts on Sunday and last night focused on the congress, dedicating only the last few minutes of their bulletins to news about the missing Malaysia Airlines passenger aircraft.
Political commentator Gao Yu said the lack of discussion on either disaster at the NPC showed the congress, the top decision-making body representing ordinary people, was "out of touch with reality".
"The NPC needs to discuss why these things happen," she said. "It shows our political system cannot deal with the contingencies of real emergencies."
But many NPC deputies and CPPCC delegates such as Wang Ming , a professor at Tsinghua University, said terrorism and disasters should not distract them from the congresses' main agendas - the government's efforts to deepen economic reforms.
Hu Xingdou, a professor at the Beijing Institute of Technology, said congress meetings in China had always shied away from "sensitive" topics.
"They won't make decisions on important issues because the central authorities would have made them already," Hu said.
Although some newspapers did carry their own reports on the air disaster, veteran journalist Chang Ping said most had been given a positive and sentimental spin to portray people helping others or officials in a positive light. "It's habitual propaganda."

Inexpensive and Effective
Flyers, along with postcards, leaflets and small posters, are vital and free forms of communication for people who want to engage the public but do not have the money or desire to take out classified advertising in a local newspaper. However, as marketing became more direct in the late 1980s and 1990's, flyers have evolved and currently there are many formats available.
Printing Materials
Cheap to produce, flyers are printed on 28lb digital text stock and are a very effective form of direct marketing.
- Results at a Small Price
- Multiple Format Options
- Options for Full Bleeds

When doing FHA appraisals the appraiser is required to do what is called the "Head and Shoulders" test. The appraiser is required to inspect the attic and basement/crawl space to at least the head and shoulders level. The appraiser should use a flashlight or similar device to illuminate the space being inspected; photographs are required for any deficiencies to document any needed repairs, or other required inspections by a third party.
- Proper ventilation of the roof or attic area.
- Hazards (missing/loose duct work, wiring, etc.)
- Hole in the fire barrier wall between the house and garage.
- Leaking roof, and/or any water or moisture damage to sheathing or roof trusses.
- Standing or pools of water (crawl space).
- Structural problems.
Appraisers must have access to the attic and crawl space. If this area is blocked then the lender will have to be contacted and reschedule an inspection. This would most likely result in an unwanted re-inspection fee. It's not the responsibility of the appraiser to move homeowner's personal belongings and furniture to gain access (can you say major liability issues). Some attic spaces do have more than one access entry point, and depending on the area that the appraiser is able view, both may have to be made available.
If the appraiser is unable to gain access:
- Lender will be contacted to reschedule the inspection.
- If access isn't feasible, then the appraisal is conditioned upon a satisfactory inspection by a qualified third party.
- If the design is such that an inspection isn't possible (flat roofs, vaulted ceilings, etc.) then the appraiser will indicate that within their report.
It's important to note that FHA requires that the attic and/or crawl space to be inspected; sealed scuttle doors, clutter/furniture blocking entry doesn't qualify as reasons that an inspection can't be done.
If you have any concerns about any of the above issues please feel free to contact me for clarification.

Electronic Arts is promising to bring the pleasures of the playground to our screens. Not the playground we went to, thankfully, which means we can avoid the casual spitting, hair-pulling, and broken glass.
It%26rsquo;s all Wii Remote-controlled and in single-player it involves you wandering around at playtime, getting yourself into competitions to rise to the position of King of the Playground. The real heart is the multiplayer, though. Some games are real, such as tennis-stuck-to-a-string-round-a-pole Tetherball, while others (faux-FPS Park Shooter, for example) come from a playground existing only in EA%26rsquo;s mind.

scheduled a trial for Jan. 26, 2010, for a case that challenges
Barack Obama's eligibility to be president based on questions
over his qualifications under the requirements of the U.S.
If the case actually goes to arguments before U.S. District
Judge David Carter, it will be the first time the merits of the
dispute have been argued in open court, according to one of the
attorneys working on the issue.
In a highly anticipated hearing today before Carter, several
motions were heard, including a resolution to long-standing
questions about whether attorney Orly Taitz properly served
notice on the defendants, which she had.
In a second ruling, Carter ordered that attorney Gary Kreep of
the United States Justice Foundation can be added to the case to
represent plaintiffs Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson, who had
been removed by an earlier court order. Drake, the vice
presidential candidate for the American Independent Party, and
Robinson, the party's chairman, also were restored to the case.

But the judge did not immediately rule on
Taitz' motion to be granted discovery – that is the right to see
the president's still-concealed records. Nor did Carter rule
immediately on a motion to dismiss the case, submitted by the
U.S. government, following discussion over Taitz' challenge to
the work of a magistrate in the case.
The judge did comment that if there are legitimate
constitutional questions regarding Obama's eligibility, they
need to be addressed and resolved.
Carter ordered a hearing Oct. 5 on the motion to dismiss and
ordered arguments submitted on the issue of discovery.
If the case survives that challenge, a pre-trial hearing has
been scheduled for Jan. 11 and the trial for two weeks later.
The case would be the first time, according to Kreep, that the
actual merits of the dispute will have been heard in open court.
A multitude of such disputes have been rejected out of hand by
various state and federal courts. Even the U.S. Supreme Court
repeatedly has rejected urgent appeals to hear the evidence.
The suit alleges Obama is actually a citizen of Indonesia and
"possibly still citizen of Kenya, usurping the position of the
president of the United States of America and the
WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status
as a "natural born citizen." The Constitution, Article 2,
Section 1, states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or
a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of
this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of
Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in
Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country,
Obama's American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the
time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son
under the law at the time.
Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship through his
father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United
Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual
citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution
excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.
Complicating the situation is Obama's decision to spend sums
estimated over $1 million to avoid releasing a state birth
certificate that would put to rest the questions.
WND has reported that among the documentation not yet available
for Obama includes his kindergarten records, Punahou school
records, Occidental College records, Columbia University
records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard
Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of
Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an
Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association
records, any baptism records, and his adoption records.
In the U.S. Justice Department's motion to dismiss, attorneys
didn't address the concerns directly, but instead focused their
efforts on technical procedures, suggesting the matter can't be
decided in court and that the dozens of plaintiffs cannot
demonstrate they have been injured by having Obama in the Oval
See the movie Obama does not want you to see: Own the DVD that
probes this unprecedented presidential eligibility mystery.
"It is clear, from the text of the
Constitution, and the relevant statutory law implementing the
Constitution's textual commitments, that challenges to the
qualifications of a candidate for president can, in the first
instance, be presented to the voting public before the election,
and, once the election is over, can be raised as objections as
the electoral votes are counted in the Congress," wrote
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Roger West and David DeJute.
"Therefore, challenges such as those purportedly raised in this
case are committed, under the Constitution, to the electors, and
to the Legislative branch."
President Obama's defenders also said they would file a motion
seeking to block any discovery of evidence at this point.
Kreep said his addition to the case probably will mean
additional arguments over the president's eligibility.
Among the long list of plaintiffs are former ambassador and
presidential candidate Alan Keyes and longshot vice-presidential
candidate Gail Lightfoot, both of whom ran in 2008.
Justice officials say because neither had a mathematical chance
at winning, they were not directly harmed by the election of
But among the issues that appear to be looming is a claim that
Obama's actual birth certificate from Kenya has emerged.

May 28th, 2008Organic vs. Conventional Produce - What Should I Buy?
By Traci Sellers
Because I advocate so highly that 70% of your diet by volume should be fresh, live produce: high water content vegetables and fruit, this is a question I get asked a lot. I'd like to go over the pro's and cons of both, so that you can make an informed decision, and get what's right for you and the people you feed.
Recently I had the opportunity of comparing the two in a way that changed my perception of both. Our family had decided to go out to eat at a restaurant we knew would have excellent food choices that would allow us to keep our high dietary standards: Sweet Tomatoes, the Salad Buffet Restaurant. (Not to be confused with Green Tomatoes, a chain here in the South that is also a buffet of all the same foods, except they are breaded and deep fat fried.) This restaurant was a considerable drive from where we were, so Kal decided that on our way there he would stop for a small appetizer. We stopped in to the Life Café in Marietta. He grabbed a little to go container of fresh organic salad greens, organic sprouts and organic raw hummus, and was kind enough to share bites with me on our way to the restaurant. It was delightful and fresh, and I looked forward to filling a whole plate with the live, raw goodness I knew awaited me at Sweet Tomatoes, as I had eaten there many times when I first made my transition to increase the amount of live food in my diet when we were living in Salt Lake City, UT.
I filled my plate with great anticipation and as we sat together eating our salads, we both realized that we were both experiencing the same thing. This raw salad, though almost identical to the appetizer we had shared, was not nearly as good. It just lacked a dimension of energy and nourishment that the organic salad had. FOR THE FIRST TIME, AFTER EATING LIVE FOOD FOR 8 YEARS, I COULD TASTE THE DIFFERENCE. This had never before happened to me, and I have eaten organic produce plenty of times. Now, I am investigating new sources for our staple produce, looking into organics, because the difference was so profound. I am ready to make the switch. Before you assume that I am 100% PRO for organic, read on.
My experience at the restaurant brought to light what I have always assumed, Organic Is Better. AND the question remains, is that what I should buy? For ME, the answer now is yes. But if you had asked me a month ago, a year ago, 8 years ago, the answer would have been NO. Why? Because then, it would not have been congruent for where I was in my transition. When I first started to change, simply switching from dead food to live food was reward in and of itself, and I tell you now, as I will continue to tell anyone who takes my classes, you don't need organic produce to be healthy. I would take a live, conventionally raised salad over an organic white flour pasta any day. (Of which there are tons of varieties, I am not sure why people go to the trouble to grow organic wheat, only to refine the goody out of it.) Food that is alive has more power to nourish us than dead-processed organic food any day.
So PRO for conventional produce, IT IS ALIVE. And if you are at the point in your transition where the choice is between dead and alive, choose alive conventional produce.
Second issue, Cost. Where are you at financially? It is true that the cost and availability of organic produce is improving. This is going to be helped tremendously by your willingness as a consumer to choose organic (it is a supply and demand thing). And although the margin of cost difference is decreasing, it is still a reality. I have to share with you something that one of my students said in a class I taught recently where the question of Organic vs. Conventional came up. She says she looks at that margin of difference between the organic choice and the conventional, chooses the organic and says to herself, "I'm worth it." I loved her candor and attitude. Yes, I too am worth it. 50 cents, a dollar? I am worth it.
On the flip side, does going for organic place such a strain on your budget that you feel like you can't get very much, if any at all? If this is where you are, and the question is conventional produce or no produce, buy conventional. The road to being Truly Healthy is paved with live vegetation. Keep your road full of produce, because that matters more than whether or not it is organic.
A few years back, I tried to switch to all organics and found that I couldn't get nearly the same volume I could in conventional. Then, at home, I was cringing whenever someone wanted a piece of fruit! I was rationing it out, so there would be enough to last until the next grocery day. I had tension and stress over my family eating too much produce. Whoa! I teach this! No way did I want them to not eat their produce! No way did I want tension around my live food! For me then, I would rather have my family partake freely and lovingly from a case load of conventionally raised oranges than a small basket of hoarded organic oranges. So PRO for conventional produce, it is cheaper.
Now the pesticide question. That is why we want organic, right? Because there are no pesticides on it. I would just like to put the pesticide issue into perspective. In my Principles book (available as a free download if you haven't gotten in yet at http://www.bestfoodist.com/). I have a chart that shows pesticide residues in common foods in parts per million. In a potato, the pesticide residue is .003. In a piece of animal flesh, it is .281, nearly 300 more parts per million in every bite. It would take you almost a year of eating conventionally grown potatoes to get the same amount of pesticide residue that one serving of chicken contains. Why? Because not only do the animals bodies collect and concentrate the poisons into their flesh, their feed is allowed to have 20% more pesticides used than that of crops grown for human use.
So if you are weighing the pros and cons pertaining to pesticides, consider what else is on your plate besides the produce. You can also reduce surface pesticides significantly by scrubbing well (root vegetables) or peeling (fruits) your produce. For those who have already eliminated the more concentrated sources of pesticides from their diet, or for those battling a serious health condition, the question becomes, poison or no poison? It is one more thing your body will have to eliminate, and the organic produce has far less or none. So PRO for organic, it is better.
As I blog along here, more issues between conventional and organic produce keep coming to mind that I haven't addressed. I think the examples I have given here though, express the point I want to make sufficiently. I am neither pro-organic or pro-conventional, I am PRO-Produce! Eat food that is alive.
The decision to go organic is going to depend on you as an individual. Where are you at in your transition? Are you just starting to add in produce or have you been a long time user? If you are still working on how to get off of processed foods, white flour, sugar and dairy, focus on that. If you have a handle on eating healthfully and the difference between an organic salad and a non organic one is profound, it is time to make the switch. Wherever you are, be sure to savor every bite.
Love from your friend,

Auster, Paul. Winter Journal. Holt. Aug. 2012. 240p. ISBN 9780805095531. $26. MEMOIR
This book is called a memoir, but as might be expected of the brilliantly offbeat award-winning author of The New York Trilogy, it's not a standard retelling of life events. Instead, as he approaches his mid-Sixties, Auster considers bodily pain and pleasure, the passage of time, and the weight of memory, stirring in reflections on his mother's life and death. High-minded readers will anticipate.
Banner, Lois. Revelations: The Passion and Paradox of Marilyn Monroe. Bloomsbury USA, dist. by Macmillan. Aug. 2012. 288p. ISBN 9781608195312. $26. BIOGRAPHY
Yes, it's the year of Marilyn; with the 50th anniversary of her death coming in August, she stars not only in nonfiction but in fiction (see J.I. Baker's The Empty Glass, coming from Blue Rider in July, and Michel Schneider's Marilyn's Last Sessions: A Novel, previewed in fiction). This book is especially interesting for its author, not your standard celeb biographer but a founder of the field of women's history, cofounder of the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians, and the first woman president of the American Studies Association. Obviously, she's going to take Marilyn seriously.
Chaudhary, Arun. First Cameraman: The Improbable Story of How a Disheveled Film Professor Became the First Official White House Videographer, and What He Learned Inside. Times Bks: Holt. Aug. 2012. 320p. ISBN 9780805095722. $28. MEMOIR/POLITICS
From 2009 to 2011, filmmaker and NYU film professor Chaudhary served as the White House's first official videographer. He describes it best: I [was] sort of like President Obama's wedding videographer, if every day was a wedding with the same groom but a constantly rotating set of hysterical guests. The insights range from observations of top political players to what it's like being stuck in a White House bathroom as President Obama conducts a YouTube town hall on the other side of the door. Hmm, fun, and Chaudhary's story has been featured in the media.
Cusk, Rachel. Aftermath: On Marriage and Separation. Farrar. Aug. 2012. 160p. ISBN 9780374102135. $23. SOCIAL SCIENCE
One of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists in 2003 and a Whitbread and Somerset Maugham award winner, Cusk often writes perceptively in her fiction about domestic entanglements and their larger consequences. Here she switches to nonfiction, using her own painful separation to ponder the effects of divorce on both individual and society. Love her writing; a book I'm excited to see.
Garrett-Davis, Josh. Ghost Dances: Proving Up on the Great Plains. Little, Brown. Aug. 2012. 256p. ISBN 9780316199841. $27.99. SOCIAL SCIENCE
Enough with the coasts; let's get to the heart of things. We need more writing about the often overlooked Great Plains. Here, Garrett-Davis, who was born in South Dakota and kept looking for a way out (he is now studying for a Ph.D. in American history at Princeton), returns to reflect on Native American ghost dancers, his homesteading great-great-grandparents, and the fate of the noble bison. Take a good look.
Kelly, John. The Graves Are Walking: The Great Famine and the Saga of the Irish People. Holt. Aug. 2012. 416p. ISBN 9780805091847. $30. HISTORY
Author of the praised and popular The Great Mortality: An Intimate History of the Black Death, the Most Devastating Plague of All Time, Kelly moves on to a major catastrophe of the 19th century, the Great Irish Potato Famine, which cost twice as many lives as the American Civil War. Kelly investigates both causes and consequences, as the British used the famine as a pretext for further oppressing Irish society and desperate Irish emigrants remade the countries where they settled, especially America. Good popular history.
Malone, Michael S. The Guardian of All Things: The Epic Story of Human Memory. St. Martin's. Aug. 2012. 304p. ISBN 9780312620318. $25.99; eISBN 9781250014924. SCIENCE
A recurrent theme in fiction today is amnesia, depicting, I think, our recognition that we are utterly defined by memory, our fear of losing it, yet simultaneously how intrigued we are at the idea of wiping away the burdensome past. Malone, the ABCNew.com Silicon Insider columnist, here investigates how human civilization is rooted in memory and how our means of preserving it have evolved, from cave paintings to the Internet. Science ideas are so important, and it's good to have them communicated by someone who talks regularly and felicitously to lay readers.
Torregrosa, Luisita López. Before the Rain. Houghton Harcourt. Aug. 2012. 240p. ISBN 9780547669205. $25; eISBN 9780547669236. MEMOIR
Former New York Times editor Torregrosa, author of The Noise of Infinite Longing, a memoir of her Puerto Rican family, here details how she fell in love with married reporter Elizabeth in the Eighties. Their love is played out in the Philippines, with the fall of Ferdinand Marcos as backdrop. Definitely different. Lots of reading group activity; investigate.

A man who spent more than three years in jail as an accused kidnapper after being pointed out in a flawed identification parade at the Marabella Police Station was yesterday awarded more than half a million dollars by the High Court.
In delivering his ruling, Justice Ronnie Boodoosingh noted the trial dealing with the malicious prosecution claim of labourer Mark Blake took all of 30 minutes since the State did not cross-examine him and did not put in any evidence.
The $567,000 award is one of the highest ever made for malicious prosecution lawsuits in Trinidad and Tobago.
Blake will have to wait for some time before he can claim his money.
He is in prison custody, charged with the March 27, 2005, murder of Larry Phillips and the attempted murder of Darion Picton at an apartment in Glen Road, Scarborough, Tobago.
Blake was represented by attorney Kevin Ratiram and the State by attorneys Neal Byam and Kerri-Ann Olliverie.
Blake and his brother Sheldon Blake were arrested on February 16, 1999, in connection with a kidnapping, robbery and stabbing earlier that day.
They were taken to the Marabella Police Station, and three days later, placed on separate identification parades.
Sheldon Blake's parade took place first.
However, police officers used the same eight men in the line-up when Mark Blake's identification parade was held.
The alleged victim identified Sheldon Blake in the first line-up and Mark Blake in the second line-up.
As a result, the brothers were charged by Corporal Glen Alpheus with kidnapping, robbery and wounding with intent.
Mark Blake was arrested by warrant on June 18, 2001, and granted bail of $60,000. However, no one took his bail, and on June 28, 2002, he was committed to stand trial on charges of kidnapping and attempted murder.
Blake remained in prison custody until December 23, 2004, when he was released on bail.
When the matter came up for trial six years later on January 14, 2008, the State offered no evidence against Blake, with the prosecutor admitting the same men were used on both identification parades, and as a result, the identification parade was defective.
Blake was discharged on both offences after the State offered no other evidence.
Blake, of Sangre Grande, filed a lawsuit in 2010.
The State submitted written submissions that even with a flawed identification parade, the State still had a case fit to be tried. However this was rejected by Boodoosingh, who commented "there can be no basis, other than speculation, on which the court could conclude that there was a case fit to be tried".
Ratiram submitted that Blake be awarded between $1.3 million and $1.5 million since Blake had three serious charges pending for seven years, and the State could have discontinued the matters much earlier.
Boodoosingh said the State was given time to reply to Ratiram's submissions but never did, nor did the State offer any evidence why the police officer laid the charge against Blake.
Boodoosingh made an award of $450,000, at six per cent interest, and fixed costs at $50,000.

Why Ana Ivanovic wanted to be blonde as a kid...
Serbian tennis star Ivanovic reveals how she wanted to look as a kid and how rubbing lemons to her hair didn't work; loves reading and she's reading about Mumbai city in the novel Shantaram
New York: Serbian tennis star Ana Ivanovic loves reading and she's reading about your city in Shantaram, a 2003 novel by Gregory David Roberts as she prepares to parade her skills at the US Open which kicks off here today.

The book is about a convicted Australian bank robber and drug addict who escapes from prison and flees Mumbai (Bombay in the novel).
Asked by allure.com about how she relaxes, Ivanovic said: "I love to read. Right now, I'm reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. It's fiction, but it's based on a real-life story, and there are so many characters. I like deep stuff like that." Ivanovic also said that if she wasn't a tennis player, she would have been a psychologist.
Those kid days...
The World No 7, who recently became the face of a sun protection cream, told Glamour.com she wanted to be blonde many years ago. "When we were kids I remember we'd use lemon in our hair and go into the sun hoping it would make us blonde. Obviously, I have very dark hair and olive skin and when I was a kid I wanted to be blonde, of course. It never worked." She also revealed that she loves ice baths: "After a tough match I'll do an ice bath and that's really good for recovery because it helps circulation.

"Write what you know" is one of the most overly-used advice in writing. It's such a cliche that you feel like people should stop writing about it already. So why the hell am I doing it?
Because it is a very useful cliche. It works, people take advantage of it and that's why it has turned into a cliche in the first place. And it has definitely worked for me:
– My first two writing assignments were travel articles on 2 cities I knew well.
– The next one was a 5-piece article series on business management. I have a BA in Business.
– I wrote articles on social media based on everything I had learned blogging.
– I wrote several articles on Freelance Switch, closely related to freelancing.
– My article on writing while holding a part-time job (I loved) got published on Make a Living Writing.
– A city inspired an entire story, while a PR lecture inspired the premise for a novel.
– ……
The list goes on.
As obvious as it is, sometimes we underestimate what we know, or we fail to pitch our knowledge in the most intriguing way.
Brainstorming about things you know is a great exercise for finding ideas but sometimes we can make things a little too broad or narrow. And sometimes we focus on our degrees and researches so much that we forget that what we know also includes our failures, what we have experienced, what others have experienced, what we have seen and so on.
Make a list of areas you'd like to write about. Make a list of what you know, in the broadest sense. Then keep brainstorming, developing ideas, pitching and writing.
I am not saying you should only write what you know. I'm just telling you not to underestimate what you know. It can be a great starting point, whether you are just starting out or just feeling blocked.
It's not a coincidence that the ultimate bestseller of legal thrillers is John Grisham, who holds a law degree. It's also not a coincidence that he has gone on to write dramas revolving around baseball since he plays and coaches.
Go ahead. Make your list. You might be surprised about everything you've overlooked.

My earliest and best memories are of Santa Marinella - the beach town in Italy where my dad's family has had a house for generations, where we reunite every summer with friends, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, grandparents, grandchildren, and every other conceivable family member. In particular, Angeletto, the beach where our family has gone forever.
In fact, my memories of this wonderful place are among the newest - I've only been going since 1985. Our family memories go back even further than my dad and his brothers and sisters, who started going there when they were wee lads and lasses back in the 1940s. My grandmother summered in the same beach town, and even went to the very same beach when she was a little girl in the 1920s (unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of that era, although I really wish I did - from the few pictures I've seen of my grandmother in her youth, she was an adorable child and later stunning woman). So our family has pretty much been unofficially ruling the town since back in the day.
Granted, back when my grandmother was young it was barely a pile of rocks next to the sea. And when my father was a kid it wasn't much better, although someone did have the good sense to set up a little "bar" next to the rock pile to sell refreshments and rent out umbrellas and beach chairs. Still, as you can see, it was still pretty rustic.
{left to right - my father, Tommaso (with the smirky grin), my grandmother, nonna Valentina, holding baby Cecilia (my dad's youngest sister), my uncles Antonio, Saverio, and Giovanni (the middle brothers) sitting in front of my grandfather, nonno Cesco, and my aunt, Maria (the eldest) - Angeletto, early 1950s}
{a group photo of the siblings}
{notice how they all match? hehe}
{notice how they all match? hehe}
{in order of age, with my grandparents}
Not that it's much better today. In order to have a "sand" beach (which I put in quotes because being a naturally rocky coast, the sand is imported) they had to build a cement wall along the edge, so the beach is pretty much a giant sandbox along the shore, with a little wooden ladder that going into the water. And the sand is black, which looks awesome, but burns the bejesus out of your bare feet. You can recognize an Angeletto veteran by the quick and nimble way he darts from one umbrella shadow to the next.
Looking at it through a stranger's eyes, it's pretty ghettofabulous, especially considering that just a couple of kilometers down the road there's a lovely white sand beach that we could easily go to. But tradition is tradition, and my grandparents never wanted to change beaches, so we indulged them, even after they became too old to actually come. Even now that both of them have passed away, no one would dream of giving up our prime center-beach spot (which we've had reserved every July and August for decades). This is our beach.
And looking at it through the eyes of someone whose happiest childhood memories are inextricably tangled with this place? It's the most wonderful place on earth. I remember when we were really little, and we would splash around in the shallow part, putting crabs in buckets and smashing rocks with other rocks. When we were a little older, we would take out the windsurf board and the canoe paddles, and paddle ourselves out to sea, five kids on a surfboard, all in a row. Sometimes an aunt or uncle would give us a precious five thousand lira note (about $2.50) and feeling rich, we would run up to the bar and buy popsicles for everyone. A little older still, and my dad would take us out on the little rowboat to do some line fishing, so we could fry up our catch for dinner. And finally during our adolescence, it became a nighttime spot as well. A place to sneak away from parental supervision to lie back on beach chairs, drinking the occasional pilfered beer, smoking the occasional weak joint, and spending the night counting infinite shooting stars and making youthful wishes.
But this beach is so much more than just everything I've experienced on it. It's everything I've seen, too. I've seen my baby cousins take their first steps, learn to swim, push their friends underwater for the first time, and grow up from feisty children to bored teenagers. I've seen my older cousins amble slowly through their twenties, and then come back in their thirties with families of their own - with new little baby cousins learning how to swim. This summer I'll get to see brand new little baby Marta taking her first dip in the sea!
I look forward to sticking water wings on my own little ones some day, and teaching them how to swim at this very same beach. But in the mean time, I'll keep coming back in the summer to lounge on the beach chairs, soaking up rays, eating gelato, and spending priceless moments with my ever-growing family, just like I always have.
What are your most precious summer memories?
p.s. You may have noticed that this looks like a new weekly meme, which it sort of is, but I probably won't be doing it every week. I just liked the alliteration of memories monday, and I thought that since I write often enough about my childhood memories, it would be nice to have it be a reoccurring post. If you like the idea, feel free to steal it - along with the logo, if you want - and leave a link in the comments so we can read about your memories. If enough people join in, maybe I'll mclinky this too! But for now let's see how it goes.

What should have been a once-a-week or a twice-a-week job for Narayan Subramaniam and Vishnu Sharma has turned out to be an entire year's labour. And, there's still no end in sight.

On May 28, 2015, Subramaniam (54) and Sharma (42) — who work as lab assistant and peon respectively, at Ghatkopar's North Bombay Welfare Society's High School — were deputed as field officers after a letter was received by the school by the district election officer-168 of the Chandivli Vidhansabha Matadar Sangh, asking for them specifically. The school headmaster Ashok Kumar's four letters since then to the said officer and also the previous Suburban Collector Shekhar Channe (who held the office till April 2016) has met with no response. In their absence, the government-aided school's functioning has been affected since it can't hire staff to replace them.
Often, Narayan Subramaniam (Right) and Vishnu Sharma (left) end up meeting disgruntled residents such as Sayyad Mohammed Kamar (centre). He shouted at the two saying, "I have been staying in this area for years. Out of 18 members of my family, including relatives, all of whom stay close by, only my name is missing from the electoral list. I have not been able to vote for the last two elections due to this. Why am I being deprived of my right to vote?" The duo could only ask him to approach the local election office, assuring him of all assistance required
In the meanwhile, while Subramaniam and Sharma continue their work as booth level officers (BLOs) without training or briefing, they have to travel door-to-door between Powai and Kurla (the assembly constituency they have been assigned) without any reimbursement for transport, food (most of their meals have to be taken on the road) or even the honorarium of Rs 6,000 per year paid to such staff on either a yearly or half-yearly basis.
Last May, Ashok Kumar, the headmaster of Ghatkopar's North Bombay Welfare Society's High School, received a letter from district election officer, 168 Chandivli, asking that Subramaniam and Sharma report for electoral duty. The letter said the institute would be liable for punishment under the Representation Of People Act 1951 if there was non-compliance
"We were asked to submit a cancelled cheque, which we did a couple of weeks ago, but we are not sure if anything will come into our bank accounts. We had to also spend for the revenue stamp of Re 1 and even the lamination charges for our identity cards. We do not even get a complementary tea when we visit the election office for submission," shrugged Subramaniam.
Not an easy job
A circular by Chief Secretary Swadheen Kshatriya dated March 11, 2015, states that as per directives of the Election Commission of India, between March 1, 2015 and July 31, 2015, work would begin on the National Electoral Rolls Purification and Authentication Programme (NERPAP) [purification signifies the updation of names on the list i.e. updating names, photographs and addresses]. BLOs would be appointed for this by government offices, and would have to do this work in addition to the work they do at their parent establishments. However, the circular clarifies that the BLOs can't be made to work beyond the stipulated time which ranges from 48 days and 96 days i.e. once a week or twice a week. Whoever appointed Subramaniam and Sharma (and most likely a horde of other BLOs in the city), doesn't seem to have understood this.
"Our first task when we reported to the Vidhyavihar electoral office was to enrol first-time voters. We had to check their Aadhaar cards and addresses and register their names in the electoral list. This was a door-to-door exercise and went on from June to September. On an average, we'd register 30-40 new applicants every day. Some days, the number would near 100," said Subramaniam.
After September, they were tasked with checking the residential voters' list. Each member of the team — it was initially 150 — was given four electoral booklets each, with details of more than 800 voters. These had to be verified with the given address, photograph and contact details had to be taken for reference. Besides ensuring the missing photos were submitted, names of those who had died or moved from that residence had to be deleted and thus stated in the list.
"No specific training was provided to us. All we were given was the area to work in. Usually, these were slums where it is difficult to locate and identify each address, as most are incomplete. We have to go showing photographs to people and not everyone wants to help," said Subramaniam.
Sharma added that often — a previous BLOs botched-up work — either left incomplete due to reassignment, callousness or simply because there's no supervisor to ensure that a thorough job has been done — leaves residents irked. "When we revisit such slumdwellers, they start shouting and yelling at us. Even pasting the election commission notice is a challenge as the glue provided by the government does not even stick a paper. We have to buy our own," he said.
Both say that while some staffers — from the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) and other agencies — were sent back to their parent organisation after their office requested them back, their own school's letters were ignored. There's no attendance system either. "We are expected to complete the booklet in a week or fortnight. We do what we can and leave the rest blank," Sharma said.
The school needs them
Kumar, the school's headmaster, said, Subramaniam is the only school lab assistant and has to manage all three laboratories (physics, chemistry and biology). "His absence was felt while conducting the practical sessions for Board exams of Std X. The teaching faculty had to work extra hours to ensure that the students' practical exams were not affected."
Sharma, he said, is the primary section peon and among the three to help the 17 teaching staff with the administering of 1103 students. "There are two clerical staff posts. Both have been vacant for six years for want of civic approval and of the four sanctioned posts of peons, only three are on rolls including Sharma," he added.
Kumar added that while the norm is that the election office requests the organistion to send a certain number of staff, who are then nominated by the head of department, in this case Subramiam and Sharma were specifically asked for specifically. The letter, by district election officer-168 Chandivli on May 19, 2015, said the institute would be liable for punishment under the Representation Of People Act, 1951, if there was non-compliance.
"The school management is not against putting the staff for doing election work, but if the staff gets engaged for an entire academic year, then it is surely a problem for running the school," said a senior member of the school administration.
An official from the suburban collector's office at Bandra said, "We have received the letter from the said school and the same will be put up before the new suburban collector for necessary action."
Not done as per book
A senior official from the election department at Mantralaya said that the state requires 88,000 staff across Maharashtra for conducting electoral work, which is a continuous process. "However, we only have 47,000 staff at present most of them from the revenue department and around 8,000 staff, including non teaching school staff, BMC, sales tax, BEST and other central/state government establishments," he said.
The officer clarified that an honorarium of R6,000 per year is paid to the staff on either half-yearly or yearly basis for the work. About the case of Subramiam and Sharma, he said, "We will look into this case, this should not be happening at all."
State Chief Secretary, Swadheen Kshatriya said, "We will set up a mechanism to ensure that BLOs are made to work only for a specified period. Instructions for implementing the same will be passed on to collectors across the state at the earliest. BLOs cannot be used throughout the year; it will cause an adverse affect."
Nitin Gadre, Chief Electoral Officer of Maharashtra, added that the People Representation Act of 1951 does not expect the election department to have their own field staff, and therefore, it has to depend on staff from other government institutions. However, he clarified that overusing of BLO staff for electoral work is not accepted and will be looked into.
RTI activist and former Central Information Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi, said, "Especially, staffers at education institutes should not be taken away for such a long duration for electoral work. Asking for staff without consent of the institution is illegal use of power. Powers are given to officials are subject to rules and regulations, and no one has unlimited powers, not even the President and the prime minister."

Agreed, and I second the request that such behaviour be made non-default for IPv4 in Debian. The amount of breakage this stunt is going to cause is not funny, and if you want to know the first ones that will blow up, I can name our own setups, that *are* based on DNS round-robin, and www.kernel.org and friends as an example. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

Every month across the United States large media companies or business associations file dozens of lawsuits accusing individuals of copyright infringement based solely on claims that film or music files were downloaded to their IP-address. An IP-address is a unique number associated with a particular online account. Over the last few years tens of thousands of suits have been filed on similar grounds, many resulting in settlements of thousands of dollars. Often the individual defendants are forced into such settlements by fear of statutory damages and costs of litigation even where they feel that they were wrongly accused. As a result, many commentators have referred to these lawsuits as unfair and a legal a shakedown.
A new decision issued on April 29, 2011, by a judge in the Eastern District of Illinois brings into question the future of such suits. In VPR Internationale v. Does 1-1017, (2:2011-cv-02068) Judge Harold A. Baker denied a Canadian adult film company's request to subpoena ISPs for the personal information connected to the IP-addresses of their subscribers. The court reasoned that since IP-addresses do not equal persons, no defendants had been identified in the suit and there was no adversarial process. Since, under federal rule of civil procedure rule 26(d)(1), no discovery may be conducted before the parties to the suit have conferred absent special leave from the court, the judge reasoned that VPR could not go on an ex-parte fishing expedition.
The Court's concern clearly went beyond the mere procedural issue. Judge Baker cited a recent child porn case where the U.S. authorities raided the wrong people, because the real offenders were piggybacking on their Wi-Fi connections. The judge noted that, based on this example, defendants in VPR's case may have nothing to do with the alleged offense either. "The infringer might be the subscriber, someone in the subscriber's household, a visitor with her laptop, a neighbor, or someone parked on the street at any given moment."
The fact that the suit involved the downloading of adult content was a significant factor in the case. Judge Baker noted that "the embarrassment of public exposure might be too great, the legal system too daunting and expensive, for some to ask whether the plaintiff VPR has competent evidence to prove its case."
Baker concludes by citing another case for the proposition that until at least one defendant is served the Court lacks personal jurisdiction over anyone. The Court would not support a "fishing expedition" for subscriber information under the circumstances.
VPR responded to the initial denial of the subpoenas by asking for certification of the following question for interlocutory appeal:
Defendants' identifies are unknown to the Plaintiff. Instead, each Defendant is associated with an Internet Protocol (IP) address. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) know identity and contact information associated with each IP address. Is the Plaintiff to entitled to discover this information by serving ISPs with subpoenas duces tecum under Fed. R. Civ. P. 45?
The Court refused to certify the question. We will have to wait to see if other courts follow this decision.

When pop is subjected to academic-style analysis, the results are typically dreadful. You can read all the commentaries on 1970s subcultures in compendiums of cultural theory by Dick Hebdige and Stuart Hall, but I maintain that if you want to understand what pop was really like, what it was about at that time, you'd be better off with a copy of Jackie magazine and an ABBA album. Pop music, to its credit, is academia-proof. This is why you can do film studies for three years as part of a degree, but that B.A. in Pop remains elusive. People who love rock, indie and various other kinds of (cough) earthy, authentic, matured-in-an-oak-barrel-for-40-years types of music may live to see the day when 'Hammer Of The Gods' or Nick Kent's 'The Dark Stuff' become required reading for their uni course, but rightly, the day a dissertation on The Cheeky Girls is taken seriously within the 'groves of academe' still seems far off. Good.
The banner at the top of yesterday's Sunday Times trumpeted: "Lady Gaga: Camille Paglia Demolishes An Icon." This had better be good, I thought. And if one were to add to that headline some small print that said: "…in the sense that Paglia damages her own reputation as an astute commentator on popular culture," then it would have been nearer the mark. Paglia is obviously an intelligent writer, and she's written eloquently on various issues regarding sexual politics in the past. But crikey this article is way off. She misquotes what is possibly Lady Gaga's best-known song: "Her lyrics can be blatantly explicit…there's talk of a 'vertical stick' in 'Bad Romance'". It's "vertigo shtick", actually, but why let that get in the way of a rant. She doesn't attribute lyrics properly, confusing 'So Happy I Could Die' and 'Teeth'. She makes the astonishing observation that Lady Gaga isn't really like all the people she likes to compare herself to, and uses phrases like "the Death of Sex" and "the Diva of Deja Vu." It's all very "high-concept" and all a lot of tosh. I'm reminded of Martin Amis describing 9/11 as "the apocollapse."
Why are academics allowed to write about pop? When they first mention the idea of a pop article to their acquaintances those people should see to it that the academic in question has their laptop destroyed and their pens confiscated immediately. I'd stop short of actually breaking fingers. Luckily, outside of Rolling Stone and 1980s issues of NME which couldn't get through a review of Kim Wilde's latest single without mentioning Cartesian Dualism, such articles are not that common. Can you imagine how awful it would be if this sort of thing were more widespread? Next week in The New Statesman, Alain Badiou: The Trouble With Michael Bublé. Dense ontological analysis in full effect!
In its weird way, Paglia's piece illustrates perfectly the fact that when it comes to writing about pop music, scholarly types are about as much use as a saxophone made of wool, or a glass crash helmet. So Paglia's piece takes us through the history of representations of sex in art since the age of silent movies – noting that in 1933 the critic IA Richards, writing on TS Eliots' The Waste Land hhhhhhhhhhgyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyttg666666666666666666666666666666. I do beg your pardon, I nodded off there for a second and fell asleep on my keyboard. But then there is another bit where Paglia discusses just how important an understanding of Theda Bara's role as The Vamp in the 1915 film 'A Fool There Was' is; this is the character that was also played onscreen by Mary Pickford and Dorothy Gish and gvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvyyyyyyyyyyyyvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvgty – I am sorry, I must stop doing that.
Paglia's piece is so staggeringly tedious, point-missing and condescending it's untrue. "Most of [Lady Gaga's] worshippers seem to have had little or no contact with such powerful performers as Tina Turner or Janis Joplin", she muses unjustifiably and pointlessly. "Elton John is still being played on the radio after 40 years", she blethers irrelevantly, implying that Gaga's success is a passing fad and as if peering into a crystal ball that predicts Gaga's omission from the radio playlists of the year 2050. "Gaga's sexual reticence can't be chalked up to priest-ridden sexual guilt", she offers with an air of disappointment, as the opportunity to deploy some clumsy pop-psychology vanishes. Poorly argued, huffy and contrarian for the sake of it, this is How Not To Write About Pop. You'll learn cock-all about Lady Gaga from reading it.
It's not just that Paglia's having a go at pop and that pop must be defended. She is equally boring when writing in praise of Madonna, and indeed says she has time for Beyonce, Shakira, Rihanna, Lily Allen and Nelly Furtado. What's disappointing is the combination of shoddy research and the thudding predictability of the argument. Lady Gaga isn't properly erotic enough, or "original", or "deep" enough apparently. Demands, demands, demands fly all over the place. The gist of the article can be summed up as follows: 'Why can't Lady Gaga be more like the feminist ideal I have in my head?' She bemoans Lady Gaga's refusal to allow images of her without her barmy work clothes on to proliferate, and the point is illustrated by…a dressed-down, no make up pic of "fresh-faced Stefani Germanotta" from 2003, the same one that accompanies almost every article on Lady Gaga. And Gaga-watchers have seen umpteen other paparazzi snaps of Ms Germanotta with no slap on and in tracksuit bottoms. Google Images is just a short click away. Paglia believes Madonna's occasional public appearances with no make up on makes her more "honest" than Lady Gaga, somehow. The relationship between wearing lippy and honesty is never established. It's all just so infuriatingly lazy.
Compare this broadside with the superb Gaga feature from the Times Magazine back in May which was written by Caitlin Moran, who cut her teeth writing for Melody Maker in the '90s. Paglia's article is the impotent whinge of someone who doesn't really get it; Moran's is insightful, vivid, entertaining and revealing (Gaga admits to suffering from Lupus in Moran's piece). Paglia writes sweeping, patronising, generalizing sentences like: "Generation Gaga doesn't identify with powerful vocal styles because their own voices have atrophied: they communicate mutely via a constant stream of atomised, telegraphic text messages" (Translation: "Hey! These kids today don't talk anymore! When they need to communicate they just tap phrases like "R-Pattz FTW ROFL LOL!" into hand-held devices!" What planet is this woman on?). Moran on the other hand is light, witty and bang-on-the-money: '[Lady Gaga] is clearly smart and clearly hilarious…but has never ruined the fun by going "Actually, I'm smart and hilarious," like say, Bono would." A good point, concisely made.
Moran goes into detail about her weekend spent in Berlin with Gaga, taking in an impromptu visit to a sex club and containing the following passage: "The club – the Lab.Oratory – is an industrial, maze-like building. To get to the dancefloor, you have to pass a series of tiny cell-like booths, decked out with a selection of beds, bathtubs, hoists and chains. 'For f***ing', a German member of our entourage explains – both, helpfully and unnecessarily." It's funny, and you feel like you're right there. That's the difference between academic pontification on pop and actual pop writing. There are no references to 1930s literary critics in Moran's piece, no sneery conjecture on how broad Generation Gaga's musical tastes may or may not be. Instead, Moran's article is fun and memorable in the way Gaga's music, theatrics and general demeanour have been to observe over these past two years. If it rides roughshod over intellectual rigour in pursuit of a good gag from time to time, that's okay because this sort of writing isn't making any claims about its own loftiness.
"Since her rise, Gaga has remained almost continually on tour. Hence she is a moving target who has escaped serious scrutiny," writes Paglia, for whom Lady Gaga is like a slippery little pest, always getting off the hook; like Radovan Karadzic trying to evade prosecution for war crimes – where will she be tomorrow, who can say, and why oh why can't she be brought to account? Gaga's work ethic is apparently the problem. She keeps moving, she hasn't allowed the dust to settle for long enough to let academic types arrive at a tired, hackneyed consensus view of her work. Perhaps this is the only reason Paglia's article is so poorly researched and full of pathetic generalisations. Yes, that must be it.

The Denver Broncos are poised for what could be quite a historical season, offensively speaking. But, it could be the defense that carries them over that final hump needed to get to the big stage and win it all this season. During the offseason, Denver brought in veteran cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to help give them a bit more depth at the position.
Wednesday, though, Rodgers-Cromartie took a step in the wrong direction when he sprained his ankle in practice. The sprain has been classified as a high ankle sprain.
The 27-year old has a history of this type of injury, so it's tough to gauge the severity of this particular instance.
Head coach John Fox seemed a bit confused on whether or not he was too concerned. "He's done it before, so I'm not overly (concerned)," Fox told reporters. "But any time you miss time, I'm concerned."
Well, let's leave it at that. Fox is concerned nonetheless.
According to Chris Mortensen, there is no timetable set for his return just yet, but Fox hopes he will be ready for week one. Without having much time in training camp, though, how much of a factor will he be with his new team?
The former first round selection out of Tennessee State has 215 career tackles and has posted 16 interceptions in his five year tenure in the NFL. There was concern that he may have lost a step after underperforming with the Philadelphia Eagles most recently, but the Broncos are hopeful that he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The injury will be monitored from here on out and I'm sure we will provide updates along the way. As for now, Broncos fans, just continue to enjoy the mighty offensive prowess your squad is sure to display come the regular season.

All-Star Comedy Covers for Vanity Fair Magazine
Vanity Fair Magazine has unveiled their cover photos for their upcoming All-Star Comedy issue. Filmmaker Judd Apatow got several of his hilariously talented friends and idols to contribute, write, and pose for the magazine. There are three covers that were done. The editor of the magazine Graydon Carter had this to say,
It can reasonably be said that the comedy industry is booming these days, in movies, on television, and onstage. And who better to oversee an entire issue on the subject than one of the great impresarios of the business? . . . Judd was a terrific collaborator, brimming with suggestions and infectious energy—precisely the sort of high-wattage, Hollywood-style enthusiasm that can alternately excite you and drive you a bit crazy.
In my opinion the comedy industry has always been booming! Everyone loves to laugh, and every generation has its group of comedic legends. These magazine covers represent only some of this generation's comedy giants. Well, everyone except for Megan Fox.
Who would you say your favorite comedian of all time is? I think I would have to go with Steve Martin.
The first cover above:
Included are the stars of Apatow's This Is 40, dressed as famous figures of 60s- and 70s-era variety shows like Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, with Leslie Mann in a bikini and body paint à la Goldie Hawn and Melissa McCarthy dressed as Lily Tomlin's Edith Ann; Paul Rudd plays your oily show host, and Megan Fox is an alluring bellhop.
The Second Cover:
features Jim Carrey dressed up as Evel Knievel, Maya Rudolph doing an ancient Egyptian like Steve Martin in his King Tut days, Will Ferrell as a corny cowboy, and Amy Poehler as a 60s go-go girl.
The Third Cover:
Kristen Wiig plays Cher to Ben Stiller's Sonny on a final cover alongside Chris Rock, doing a Nipsey Russell thing, and Jerry Seinfeld, decked out in a Nehru jacket.

Enrico, As you might guess, I disagree with what you wrote. Of course, surface syntax should not give false impressions, but I don't think this will be the case here: Some of the typical DAML+OIL idiom corresonds >*exactly*< with the usual frame-based constructions. (for example the locally defined range-striction on a slot, which I used as example in my msg; same for cardinality constraints; same for "defined"-classes; etc). Your point about behaviour requires more thinking, I agree: > Even when dressed as a frame system a DL will always > behave as a DL (with anonymous classes and automatic > re-classification) I know that Stefan Decker has been thinking about a restricted semantics of DAML+OIL which would indeed only deal with named classes (for instance to classify instances). So, in my view, there are two issues, one easy, one hard, both important: - (easy): define frame-based modelling-idiom as syntactic constructions for DAML+OIL - (hard): try to think what DAML+OIL would look like if it only dealt with named classes Frank. ----Received on Tuesday, 18 December 2001 18:03:11 UTC
