PITTSFORD, N.Y. (WIVB) – Summer break is officially over for the Bills, with players moving in for training camp at St. John Fisher College this afternoon.
As is usually the case, expectations are high as the team gets ready for its journey into the 2014 season, trying to snap the string of 14 straight seasons without a playoff appearance.
"There's a new attitude, a new style," said safety Aaron Williams. "We're expecting a lot from this year."
"I kind of like coming from the bottom and we're going to have to work our way up," said receiver Marquise Goodwin. "There's going to be a lot of bandwagon fans out there that will come out of the woodwork, so I'm looking forward to it."
Fred Jackson, one of the veterans on the roster, sees big things in the future in year number two under head coach Doug Marrone.
"The number one thing I'm excited about is a second year with this coaching staff. Their number one thing coming in was to get this thing turned around. Being with those guys for a second year, figuring each other out and what we want to do, how to use us and stuff like that, I think it's going to be a tremendous thing that comes to fruition for us this year," said Jackson.
The Bills open training camp Sunday night at 6pm with the first of seven night practices this summer at St. John Fisher.

Little to show from 42-year war on cancer
Progress has been slow because the roots of the disease hide in the fantastic complexity of our cells
In 1971 president Richard Nixon and the US Congress declared a war on cancer. Since then the federal government has spent more than €80 billion fighting the disease, and probably as much again has been spent in the rest of the world. Despite this effort, there has been little overall progress: the cancer death rate has decreased by only 5 per cent in the US since 1950 (Gina Kolata, New York Times, April 24th, 2009). Why is this? The main reason seems to be that cancer has turned out to be much more complicated than scientists thought. The story is told by George Johnson in the Scientific American (November 2013).
Cancer is a group of diseases characterised by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. It is the second leading cause of death in Ireland, after heart disease, accounting for 25 per cent of the annual death toll, but much progress has been made in combating heart disease. Deaths from cardiovascular disease in the US fell by 52 per cent between 1975 and 2006.
The chemical nature of the genetic material in the cell is the long double-helical molecule DNA. A DNA molecule is made of many smaller molecules called nucleotides, strung together end to end. There are four nucleotides, denoted by the letters A, T, G and C. DNA contains the genetic information as a chemical code in the form of the sequence of these four letters. A mutation occurs when this information is altered, for example by a deletion of one or more letters.
The information in DNA is divided into chunks called genes. The information in one gene codes for a single protein in the cell, and proteins are the agents that carry out the cell's activities. A mutation in a gene will alter an activity in the cell.
In a paper called The Hallmarks of Cancer published in the journal Cell in 2000, Douglas Hanahan and Robert Weinberg outlined the modern interpretation of how cancer develops. They said cancer is born when a single cell acquires a genetic mutation that starts it down the cancer road. Subsequent mutations accumulate until the cell becomes unambiguously cancerous, multiplies out of control and develops into a tumour.
New discoveries
However, since that Cell article, new discoveries in biochemistry and cell biology have shown that the molecular biology of the cell is much more complicated than previously thought, and we now know that cancer can be initiated in more ways than by genetic mutations.
DNA does not exist in the cell as a "naked" double helix but is associated with special proteins called histone proteins and is also tagged on its surface with chemical groups called methyl groups. These proteins and methyl groups exert a regulatory effect on the genes, turning their activity up/down or on/off. This regulation of the primary genetic material is referred to as "epigenetic" and must be taken into account, in addition to the more familiar mutations, when pondering the basis for the initiation of cancer. Thus, an increase/decrease in the extent of methylation might turn a gene on/off, as a result of which a cell might be tipped into a phase of unregulated proliferation. Epigenetic effects undoubtedly contribute to cancer but much remains to be discovered about this effect.
Also, much of the DNA in the human genome does not code for proteins. In 2000, when the Cell paper was published, a large fraction of DNA was thought to be a legacy of past evolutionary changes, a legacy that no longer had a function in the cell. It was called "junk DNA". However, we now know that this non-protein-coding DNA does have regulatory functions in the cell, and one can visualise how it could be involved in initiating cancer. Again, the precise contributions made by this junk DNA to the cancer story remain to be elucidated.
The main reason why progress in dealing with cancer is so slow is that the roots of cancer still hide in the fantastic complexity of the cell. I have described only a few aspects of this complexity in this article. It is 42 years since Nixon declared war on cancer. Let us hope it will not be 42 more years before we finally get on top of this devastating disease.

Sarajevo, Yugoslavia (Apr. 16)
The ancient Jewish community of Sarajevo, which numbered 13,000 in 1940, now consists of 70 men, women and children.
A correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency who arrived here today, a few days after the Germans had been driven from this city, which was the site of the assassination of the Austrian Arch-Duke Franz Ferdinand, which touched off World war 1, found the remaining Jews dazed by their long suffering and the joy of liberation.
The Sephardic Temple on Kralja Petra Street, which was one of the most beautiful synagogues in Europe, is littered with straw, manure and gasoline. The Germans had used half of it as a stable, and the other half as a garage. A large gaping hole in the roof marks the former location of the huge copper dome which was stolen by the Germans. The delicate Moorish columns and arches still stand, and the walls are sound. Without too much labor, it could be restored to its pre-war beauty.
That any Jews survived here is a miracele. A few, like Gahilie Kampi, a former reilroad inspector, hid inside the city for four years. The Solomon brothers, David and Raphael, who are expert auto mechanics, were kept alive in a prison here to work for the Germans. Others escaped to join the partisans. But the great majority of the Jews were shipped to Creation concentration camps and systemationlly slaughtered.
Immediately after the Jews were sent away, in 1941, truck loads of their personal belongings were taken to the various synagogues in the city where they were picked over by enemy officers who had first choice. Then came German non-coms and after them Ustashi officers.
The surviving Jews have no plans as yet for rebuilding the shattered Jewish community here, but some day, somehow, they hope that such plans can be made. With traditionally friendly treatment, the community flourished from its founding in the 15th century until the coming of the Uitler terror. The remnant left expects to make a slow come-back in the generations to come.

Sacha Baron Cohen Dumps 'Ashes' on Ryan Seacrest at Oscars: Did He Go Too Far?
"Now you know this isn't taped. Anything can happen, and it most certainly did. All over my lapel.

By David Russell of OptionMonster
NEW YORK -- Traders are bottom-fishing as the year ends, looking for certain stocks to rebound in early 2014.
It began with Westport Innovations (WPRT), a maker of natural-gas engine parts that's been sliding since August and is now near 52-week lows. OptionMonster's tracking systems detected heavy volume in the January 19 calls, with buyers paying 30 cents almost 2,500 times within an hour of the opening bell.
Not much later, energy driller Rowan (RDC) saw unusual activity in its January 36 calls. A quick flurry of trades crossed for 20 cents, and those contracts would more than double to 45 cents by the afternoon, a testament to the kind of fast money that can be generated with options.
Calls lock in the level where a stock can be purchased no matter how far it might climb, so even modest fluctuations in the underlying share price can produce huge swings in the options. But if the shares don't rise far enough, these options can expire worthless.
Westport fell 0.39% to $17.68, and Rowan dropped 2.52% to $32.94. Westport came into the session down 22% in the last month, while Rowan lost 10% in that period.
Less than 20 minutes after the Rowan trade, traders piled into fellow energy-drilling stock Diamond Offshore (DO). This time, more than 10,000 January 59 calls were purchased against in volume that dwarfed the previous open interest of just 166 contracts, clearly showing that this is fresh buying, as premiums ranged from 26 cents to 50 cents. Diamond fell 0.52% to $55.62 and is down 9% in the last month.
Total option volume was 76 times greater than average in Rowan and 21 times above typical levels in Diamond. Westport's turnover was less than twice its daily average.
Russell has no positions in any of stocks mentioned.

The late and great Michael Jackson has recently been the focus of some rather negative rumors about having an impersonator sing one of his songs on his posthumous album, Michael. Rumors were spread by various media sources that his daughter, Paris Jackson, admitted to a friend via video chat that the song Hold My Hand was actually sung by a Michael Jackson sound-alike, rather than by the "King of Pop" himself.
Paris put on her defensive armor as she took to Twitter this past Wednesday (Feb. 29) to defend her father's honor.
"People should know by now not to believe the media when it comes down to TMZ talking about my family. #HoldMyHand is my dad actually singing."
Paris is growing up fast and her maturity is showing greatly by the way she handled this situation in honor of her father.

How does Shakespeare bring out the idea of feminism in his play Othello?
- print Print
- list Cite
As feminism was not invented until the twentieth century, William Shakespeare, in the sixteenth century, could not have been acquainted with it. While it is possible to create a feminist critique of Shakespeare's works by applying 20th century ideas of feminism to them, that is different from attributing feminist intentionality to Shakespeare himself, and runs the risk of anachronism.
Feminist approaches to Othello usually focus on the character Desdemona who describes her own role as follows:
DESDEMONA: "My noble father,
I do perceive here a divided duty:
To you I am bound for life and education;
My life and education both do learn me
How to respect you; you are the lord of duty;
I am hitherto your daughter: but here's my husband,
And so much duty as my mother show'd
To you, preferring you before her father,
So much I challenge that I may profess
Due to the Moor my lord..."
Feminist criticism can focus either on her implied subordination to father and then husband or the independence and logic with which she makes her choices and presents her case.

Construction accident causes power outage near Victoria Mall
June 17, 2014 at 1:17 a.m.
A construction mishap about 7:59 a.m. Tuesday left 1,670 customers without power on John Stockbauer Drive and the Victoria Mall area.
Construction near the Victoria Mall was the cause of the power outage, said Elgin Janssen, AEP spokesman. A track hoe made contact with an telephone line and damaged a utility pole.
The power was restored to the majority of the homes and businesses at 8:22 a.m., he said, with an additional 120 restored at 8:43 a.m. The power to the last 250 homes and businesses around and inside Victoria Mall was restored by 10:40 a.m., when the workers replaced the downed utility line, he said.
No injuries were reported, Janssen said.

"Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway."
John Wayne
The above quote from John Wayne, which I lifted from The Dead of Winter, is a perfect fit for this book. This is one of the best novels I've read all year, and I've been fortunate to have read more good ones than bad ones. This novel is an excellent example of authorial misdirection that really works.
This book takes place in a slightly altered version of the Wild West, where supernatural creatures exist. They're not widespread, meaning you don't trip over them every time you turn around like in some fantasies, but they are out there. Cora Oglesby and her husband Ben are bounty hunters, and very selective bounty huners at that. They specialize in supernatural creatures such as werewolves, hellhounds, vampires, and those sorts of things.
They've come to the town of Leadville, Colorado, at the request of the marshall. Something vicious has killed two people, and he fears there will be more deaths. He's right about there being more deaths, and not all of them will come from the creature that's made its first kill.
I'm hesitant to give too many details, because there's a twist towards the end, and it's a biggie. Many of the things you take for granted aren't as they appear. The thing that annoys me is that all the signs were there, and I picked up on most of them. I just didn't connect the dots. Collins did an effective job of distracting me, just like a stage magician when he doesn't want your attention on certain things. (I'm annoyed at myself, BTW, not at Lee Collins. Him I'm impressed with.)
The characters talk like you would imagine characters in a Western would talk. I'm sure Collins had to turn off his grammer checker. For the most part, this helped pull me into the story. A few times it was slightly annoying, but for the most part, I didn't find it overdone.
What I did find annoying was how the viewpoint would sometimes shift between characters in the same scene. I don't mind multiple viewpoints in a novel, but I prefer the same viewpoint character in a chapter. But that's just me. Your mileage may vary.
These are minor quibbles. Overall, I found this a compelling story that didn't go in the directions I expected it would. Collins' prose pulled me in and helped me to inhabit the story. This is a fantastic blend of western and horror, a fine addition to the subgenre of weird western. If your tastes run to weird westerns, monster hunting, or some combination of the two, then you'll want to pick this one up.
There's a sequel, She Returns From War, that's due out on January 29 in the States and Canada and a few days later in the UK. I'm looking forward to it.
One bit of editorializing, if I may. Angry Robot normally only accepts agented manuscripts, but once a year for the last couple of years, they've had a brief window in which they allow submission of unagented manuscripts. The Dead of Winter is one of those books. I've heard enough stories about how hard it is to get representation these days to know that many fine books never get past an agent, never mind an editor. Makes you wonder what we've missed because of the gatekeepers.

Downpour Details: Multiple Endings, Element Of Fear
Although it's being developed by a new studio, it seems Silent Hill: Downpour will have everything franchise fans desire.
You can check the digital version of the recent EGM; there's a feature interview with Downpour producer Devin Shatsky, and he provides us with a few new pieces of information. First and foremost - and we loved this about Silent Hill 2, in particular - we will once again get multiple endings, thereby giving us more reason to replay the game. Another reason would be the fact that not all side-quests are available during our first play-through. In terms of atmosphere and gameplay, Vatra really seems to be focusing on the "creepy" factor; for instance, the main character, Murphy Pendleton, will walk differently depending on how much damage he has suffered and - get this - his fear level. Very cool. Furthermore, we see something about "infinite hallways" and "disintegrating rooms" that will continually keep players on their freaked-out toes.
And although many of us define Silent Hill as Survival/Horror - a sub-genre that has either disappeared or been absorbed into the action/adventure category, depending on your views - Shatsky would rather call Downpour a "psychological thriller." Yeah, we'll go with that. This game sounds sweet and it's nice to see Vatra sticking to the concepts and ideas that first made the franchise great.

Sounds ridiculous, including the name!
The only thing he kinda got right was the genre....but even that's debatable.
But, whatever, i'm sure a lot of you are fed up with my passionate defence on SH.
I don't need to give this attention. I just thought the description under the headline was funny.

A lot of people love SH 1-4 but still don't truly get it and that's still fine, more to it's genius. They like the creepy atmosphere etc, etc and question and criticise why the main character barely reacts to what's going on and the creatures around him and praises Homecoming, or this for finally making them react realistically...when infact, true understanding of it should tell you that it was intentional before (one example out of a thousand), but that's ok!
However, they call the game Silent Hill....and it isn't. I could explain in the utmost detail why it's not, but why?
Director Del Torro spoke of what im talking about recently and compared the original team silent games to the beauty of David Lynch movies, and he was bang on....It isn't Silent Hill 2 IN 3D (film coming soon) or a Downpour with a character called Murphy who's an escaped prison convict (the fact it actually shows you scenes that explain how his truck crashed etc in Hollywood style sequences is wrong. Another example out of a thousand) coming to the hill, a normal talking voice with human reactions to everything (screaming, running, shouting profanities because he's scared etc. Another example out of a thousand) with an injury and fear metre! A fear metre?! Talk about missing the point.....whatever, i don't need to go on, but it ain't any of this that we speak. SH was the most beautiful, artistic, cleverly written, still being debated about (story), emotional experiences in game, ever.
If you're gonna get malicious, 1st don't talk to me and 2nd, learn how to debate.

I like to get emotionally encapsulated into the games I play (big mgs and ff fan), playing these kind of games freaks me out for weeks.

but i wont be holding my breath, RE and AITD have gone the way of the action shooter, so whats stopping this from following?
developers are in the mindset that no one wants to play scary games, which is a load of sh*t!

This year's LIFT series of community artist exhibits feature the images of KW area photographers Darin White, Stefan Rose and Stephen Orlando.
The LIFT micro-galleries are located directly across from the elevators on floors 4, 5 and 6 of Laurier's Waterloo campus Library.
The series brings community artists from the grassroots up into the stacks.
Drop into the seminary for the exhibition Thoughts: Paintings by Ashwini Raghuram. The seminary is also open during some weekday evenings.
Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive treatment approach for chronically suicidal clients. However, in the last decade DBT has received empirical support to treat other populations including eating disorders, addiction, anger problems and other mood disorders. Additionally, it has been adapted for adolescent mental health populations, inpatient, residential and forensic settings. DBT clients are taught more skillful ways to regulate their emotions, effectively manage the distressing situations in their lives, and improve and maintain relationships with the people around them. These skills are taught within a caring treatment relationship that accepts the client for who and where they are, while maintaining a movement towards creating "a life worth living".
At the end of this workshop participants will be able to:

The Strip House New York Reviews
6 reviews
May 20, 2007
The first thing that impressed itself upon me is the ambience. I love red, and the entire restaurant is bathed in hushed red tones, enhanced by candlelight. The walls are covered with black and white photos of celebrities and sports greats of the 40s and 50s (??).
The service is impeccable. Considering it's often hard to get a reservation, sometimes even weeks in advance, the snooty atmosphere one might expect to find here is absent. The staff is friendly, and helpful, and manages to keep your glass full, and the courses coming without hovering. Portions are ample, and if you're not careful a friend might have to roll you to the door as you try to wipe that 'well fed' grin off your face.
The Strip House experience doesn't come cheap, but it's worth every penny.
Highly recommended!

Mercedes-Benz India Considers Local Assembly of S 500Ryan Joseph Ramos January 27, 2014
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the top dog in the German automaker's product offering, and as such, it does not come cheap. In India, for example, the new S 500 sold for Rs. 1.58 crore (a crore is 10 million), which is equivalent to a shade under $250,000. Still, the 125 units of the Launch Edition, imported straight from Germany, were all sold out.
With this kind of demand for the high-end Mercedes, MB India is now considering assembling S 500 units locally. Current plans for local production only involve the base model S 350 (diesel variant), which has been delayed so far and should now be due for sale in June of this year. With the unforeseen S-Class demand, however, the Chakan plant could also see itself producing the S 500 if this new development pushes through.
Of course, there will also be differences between any locally produced S 500 and the imported units, which will continue to be procured for the Indian market. Local units should feature specs that are a notch below the top-trim imports. Another change could be with the interior fixtures; for example, the top-of-the-line business seats at the rear of the imported S 500 could be converted into a bench-type seat.
Price will also be different, as the locally manufactured units should be cheaper, although not by too much.
One interesting factoid about the initial 125 S 500 units sold: all but two of them came in white. The other two were black.

You're welcome!
Hello folks, I really feel that I have lost all faith in blazers. I wear a selection of blazers to work but I have been looking for something different, which seems to be non existent! I have a Donegal pattern blazer which I love, but I'm looking for something with a heritage twist that would go with a plain oxford, tan brogues and either navy or grey chinos-Any ideas? where should I be looking for a slim fitting heritage, winter style blazer? i.e. something with a decent wool content! I want to keep it sub £150 and have tired of Asos!

Ok, lets try to formalize yours a bit more clearly (to me anyway): If the upload member has event listeners registered for the 'progress' event before send() is invoked pass some kind of force preflight flag to cross-site access request.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas congresswoman's town hall meeting grew heated as the discussion turned to immigration, and a pastor found himself shouted down for suggesting compassion for immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports (http://bit.ly/1a8yEyt ) that the Rev. Jason Schoff faced shouts of "They're illegal" when he spoke during Wednesday's event at a Topeka hotel hosted by 2nd District Republican Lynn Jenkins.
Jenkins discussed her support work by GOP leaders in the U.S. House on an alternative a bipartisan Senate proposal offering a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants.
Schoff is director of Latino outreach for Mission Adelante, a Kansas City, Kan., church and mission group assisting immigrants. He told Jenkins that he's concerned "about the human condition" in immigration.
He also said Kansas businesses need immigrant workers.

At Slater's Garage, we work with clients across the country — literally, from Maine to San Diego. But it's always nice to do some work for the home team, as well. Here's a recent project we completed for 88-Crime, Inc., which is a Tucson-based crime tip hotline sponsored by the Pima County Attorney's Office.
I started working with 88-Crime a little over a year ago, when their Board of Directors hired me to produce a couple TV commercials to air in the Tucson market. After learning about the work they do, I joined the Board myself, and have since been working on the Publicity Committee to help them tell their story in Tucson and the rest of Pima County.
Our goal with the above cartoon was to produce a piece that appeals to kids, but also something that would be memorable to audiences of all ages. Also, we wanted to get away from the typical "scary" approach that similar organizations sometimes take to their marketing, and we thought an animated spot would be a bit more unexpected and thus, more memorable. And the response has been great.
We're always interested in meeting with other Tucson businesses, too, especially those who might be looking to revamp, tweak, or ramp up their advertising efforts. Reach out anytime. Coffee's on me.
At Slater's Garage Ads & Audio, we help small businesses put a unique voice to their marketing through a combination of audio, video and social media. To find out how we can help you bring your marketing to life, contact us today.

Today I hoofed it home (18 min walk approx) at 3pm to meet my landlord at 3:20 at my flat. I meet him outside and we haul ourselves up four steep flights of narrow stairs in the 300 year old building. There is painting that needs to be done on a part of the kitchen area (it is a studio remember). I could not care less about the unpainted bit, but he has come in from Germany to see to it that this gets done.
3:25 – We enter flat and have a chat.
3:45 – the workman hasn't shown up yet. This is totally normal and no mention of it is made. We keep chatting and I offer up seats, as I can see this might take a while.
4pm – Landlord calls the company and is routed to hold music. He puts his phone on speaker. We have just finished a conversation about how the customer service in the US is amazing and how that makes up for the number of hours Americans spend working. He thinks he could never live in the US because we are so focused on work. I have lived in 5 different countries and all of those had shorter workweeks than the US, however in the US I always always enjoyed more leisure time because I never had to waste time waiting around for people to do their jobs. There, Shit. gets. done.
4:15 – A voice comes on the phone and he explains no one has shown up. He is put on back hold. We chat about Obama and Europe's obsession with him. I eat crackers.
4:30 – A voice comes back on and tells him someone arrived the day before, but went to the flat on the ground floor. He commences to explain that the scheduled time was for today, for the flat on the 3rd floor. Send someone out. He is put on hold again. I eat a pear.
4:40 – A voice comes back on, says no one can come out for two weeks. He explains he is only in town for three days from Germany and to send someone out stat. We chat about how my Spanish is coming and visiting the Basque region.
4:50 – The voice comes back on and a 5 minute conversation ensues. I have stopped paying attention because I just want to go back to work at this point, knowing that even if someone could get sent out this afternoon, I would not be able to be there anyway. Landlord is put on hold again. I comment about customer service in general and good customer service makes ones life easier in general. He mentions it is actually worse in Germany, and I choke on my gum in disbelief. But he has a point, in Germany if they do not have rules to follow, they will not take any action. At least the woman on the phone is trying to figure something out.
5pm – The voice comes back on and he gives them my phone number instead of waiting longer, and says to call me when someone can come and that I, the resident, will confirm whatever meeting time they choose. Which is what should have happend in the first place instead of him coming out and hanging out in my studio apartment while we wait for someone who isnt going to show up. I send instant messages to my boss while trying not to lose temper. Boss laughs at me via instant messenger.
5:05 – We say goodbye and I run back to work. I return to find boss has spilled entire jug of tea on desk, lap and floor. I enter my "office" (which is actually a little conference room) and laugh at him via instant messenger. Revenge is mine.


text: Opinion The staggering sway of Harold Mitchell January 20, 2012 11:32 by Tim Burrowes 4 The Power Index today names Aegis Media chairman Harold Mitchell as the most powerful person in Melbourne. Andrew Crook profiles him. Harold Mitchell takes pride in dispensing with the niceties. When The Power Index visited his South Melbourne private office before Christmas, fresh remains were scattered all over the boardroom table. The victim of his latest salvo is Paul Keating's 640 page tome After Words, chronicling the former PM's post-politics public waffling. But Mitchell, who flies to London every three weeks to check in with the global ad behemoth he directs, prefers to travel light. Keating's essence, Mitchell discovered, could be distilled to three pages, which he promptly ripped out for the 22-hour commute. Keating wasn't happy. "Paul said, 'comrade, only three pages?' and I said 'that's all you need!'," said Mitchell, nominating short sentences on Asia, leadership and courage as the takeouts from Keating's oeuvre. It's that kind of ruthlessness that makes Mitchell The Power Index's most powerful Melburnian. The nation's biggest ad buyer, who turns 70 in April and has shed 70 kilograms thanks to his 2009 lap band surgery, shows little sign of slowing down. "I'm probably the most powerful man in the media, I guess," the charmingly skittish Mitchell admits, explaining that The Power Index is sitting in the exact same foyer seat that James Packer had occupied just days before (Lachlan Murdoch usually sits opposite). Indeed, Mitchell's footprint is everywhere in Melbourne, and not only because he controls the fate of $1 billion in ad dollars, through the local arm of Aegis, the global media buying agency that bought his Mitchell Communication Group in 2010 for $363 million. He's arguably more important in the "soft power" that he peddles around the city he's called home for five decades. Melbourne Football Club board member, Young & Rubicam Brands chief and Gruen Transfer star Russel Howcroft says Mitchell has a "genuine benevolence" about what he does and utilises a "combination of hard and soft power … he's soft but hard when he needs to be." "He's genuinely powerful … when he decides that something needs to happen, he makes sure it happens. That's a good thing." Melbourne Major Events chief Sir Rod Eddington nominates the setting up of the Melbourne Rebels rugby union franchise, majority owned and chaired by Mitchell, as a case study on how he operates. "There was bunch of people led by Harold and led by John Wylie, and they got the idea out there … then everyone fell in behind it, the government, business, the transport folks." It's a scenario that plays out many times each year. Indeed, Mitchell sits on so many media, culture and creative boards that he actually struggles to recall the full list, saying, simply, "that makes the point, doesn't it?" His sway is staggering. In addition to Aegis, he's a director at Crown Casino, the chairman of ThoroughVision, CARE Australia, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the Rebels, broadcaster TVS, Art Exhibitions Australia, the vice president of Tennis Australia and a director of the Deakin Foundation and the Melbourne Recital Centre. He's former chairman of the National Gallery Australia and president of the Melbourne Arts Festival, the Museums Board of Victoria, the Asthma Foundation and Opera Australia. That's 12 current gigs, eight of which are cultural or arts-related. And his 11-year-old Harold Mitchell Foundation has tipped $5.1 million into the arts and health in a country where the rich are enormously reluctant to splash their cash. As Mitchell himself admits, ad money is common currency binding all these roles together. Australia, with only 0.3% of the world's population, attracts 5% of its advertising. And Mitchell's is by far the biggest ad buying company, with 4,000 clients eager for a better deal. After skirting close to bankruptcy in the early 1990s, the Aegis sale meant Mitchell arguably increased his sway as executive chairman of its local arm as well as its second-biggest global shareholder. "He might have lost the kilos, but he's still the industry's 800 pound gorilla," says one ad land observer. "You'd think hard before taking him on." The rest of Mitchell's profile can be read on The Power Index. Mumbrella editor Tim Burrowes interviews Mitchell: Tim Burrowes Tim Burrowes is the founder and content director of Mumbrella. He's written about media and marketing in Australia, the Middle East and the UK. topics Harold Mitchell Share Tweet Share Comments: 4 Add Comment Ted 20 Jan 12 If Harold is the most powerful Melburnian then we must truly kice in the age of globalisation.

Tamara Romero is a new author whose novelette Her Fingers has received glowing reviews from some of the most prominent Spanish science fiction and fantasy blogs: La Bilbioteca de Ilium (review in English and in Spanish), Leemaslibros (review in Spanish) and Sin Solapas (review in Spanish), to name a few. Thus, it is pleasure for me to publish this interview of Pedro Román with Tamara Romero (you can read the Spanish translation at Pedro's blog).
Pedro Román: Let our readers know a bit about yourself
Pedro Román: Let our readers know a bit about yourself
Tamara Romero: I live in Barcelona. I have a degree in Media Studies and my specialty is film theory. I started working as a TV sports producer, but I quickly lost all interest in television. Then I worked at a big publishing house for four years, as a press manager and assistant editor. After that, I did a long trip around the US, and then I became a freelance editor and professional reader for several companies. This is more or less my background. Nowadays I have a steady job on marketing and editing in online media, and I combine it with my writing. I haven't done much more, I'm still quite young!
PR: When and why did you jump into writing? Why in English?
TR: I guess I've always written as a hobby, but being published in English in the US was just pure chance. I wrote Her Fingers in Spanish in the summer of 2008 and since it's a 70 pages novelette I thought that it would never have a chance to be published here, in a market that is a bit obsessed with long sagas.
Last year, in February, I discovered Bizarro Fiction (as they say, it's literature's equivalent to the cult section at the video store) and I was really happy to find out about their formats: weird pop culture-influenced books and novellas that could be read in one sitting. So the fact that they were open to publish novelettes was what made me remind of Her Fingers and tell them. They liked the story pitch and I started working on the translation. So it's been a format issue. I never bothered to send Her Fingers to any editor in Spain simply because it would have been too short for them.
PR: The genre market in Spain is…
TR: Dispersed, scattered, a bit invisible, and with an outstanding obsession with epic fantasy.
I have to say that I don't read many Spanish authors, but I have the feeling that some of the most remarkable novels have been published in non-genre imprints and that didn't help us to build a fantastic lit tradition. Spanish editors do not take many risks either. Although we never had any big author. We didn't have a Stanislaw Lem. I also think that South American writers have had fewer complexes.
As for the audience, fantastic literature has been a bit in the margins here until the arrival of Harry Potter and A Song of Ice and Fire. These two sagas have brought thousands of new readers in Spain and that's a great opportunity for genre writers.
PR: Translating a book (even a short one) into English sounds scary. Did you undertake it?
TR: If you are very interested in the fantasy genre I guess that you end up reading in English –or trying to, because there's so much fantastic fiction that doesn't have room in the Spanish market. So I've been reading regularly in English for the last ten years and ended up having a really proficient level. Also, I watch tons of movies in original version and this has helped me to deliver decent dialogues in English. When I pitched the story to Eraserhead Press they told me that it sounded very interesting but they were reading manuscripts only in English, and if I could translate some of it they would have a look. So I started by the two first chapters and sent them, and after that, I received the editor's OK to go on.
So I translated Her Fingers myself. Then a bilingual writer helped me to polish, and finally my editor changed some British expressions. I didn't hire any professional translator. But I must say that I dared to do this because it's a short text, a 70 pages novelette. It was three weeks of intense work. I'm not sure if I could do this again with a full length novel. It's quite hard, and I don't think I would write directly in English either.
I don't think that the text has lost any quality with a translation. On the contrary, I improved many things. There are some new facts in the story. If the text is ever published in Spanish, I should re-check it again and fix them.
PR: Would you suggest this path to other writers?
TR: I'd say that American audience, for instance, is not really used to reading translations. Translated writers are rare and they might see them mostly as somewhat exotic. But if you write fantasy, or sci fi, or horror, then you should consider it seriously and try to perfect your written English. The fantasy market in English is bigger, so there's more room for new writers, and something that I consider quite important: there are magazines were you can publish your short fiction. That does not really exist here. There are also lots of small presses with open submissions periods.
It's 2013, there's Internet and we have hundreds of possibilities to explore, from small presses to self-publishing. Right now it's a great moment to be a writer.
PR: Who are your literary references? How much of them did you pour into Her Fingers?
TR: I have many literary references and if I name them, probably you can see some in Her Fingers. I'm certain I wouldn't have written it if I hadn't read Perdido Street Station by China Miéville. Jeff Noon is also one of my favorite writers, and I'm very happy that he's back after ten years. I'm also a fan of Marion Zimmer Bradley and her 'Darkover' series. The last book that I read just before writing Her Fingers was The Mists of Avalon. I also like Poppy Z. Brite, Clive Barker, Jeff Vandermeer, Ursula K. Le Guin, H.P. Lovecraft, Philip K. Dick (mostly his short stories), J.G. Ballard… I enjoy classic erotic literature (Story of O is one of my favorite novels), and what I call the 'hegemony in US and Europe': Michel Houellebecq and Jonathan Franzen. When I was a bit younger I used to read books by Irvine Welsh or Dennis Cooper and the use of drugs is quite present in my stories too, often in the shape of legal, new, magical substances. Right now, Carlton Mellick's books are also being an inspiration for working on new bizarro stories. And Dostoyevsky, always.
PR: If I understand it, Eraserhead Press released your novelette as a test: if it sells well enough, you will be offered a contract. How is it faring so far?
TR: Exactly. Her Fingers is published under the New Bizarro Author Series, an imprint of Eraserhead Press. Every year, they pick a group of new authors and they publish their books in November, at their annual convention. We have a year to sell a specific number of copies, a few hundreds, and if we manage to promote our work properly and deliver high quality weird stories we can opt to a contract in the following year. Eraserhead Press is a cult indie publishing house and bizarro genre is getting bigger and bigger in the US. They have a lot of fans. When my book was announced, there were already people looking forward to reading it and that's the dream of a newbie. I already had an audience. The first reviews have been very enthusiastic! I won't have an update on sales figures until next month or so. But so far, everything's great.
PR: Society analysis, the exploration of personal and collective roles and, definitely, the abundance of ideas, are core points of your novelette. Are they also part of your trademark? What else?
TR: Ideas are my most appreciated tool when writing and fortunately I never run out of them. I like to provide something new, weird, and powerful, if I can, in every page, so you want to turn it and find something else that drags you deeper into that world. I like being extremely generous with ideas. I don't save them for other books. It might be overwhelming and a bit baroque sometimes, but personally that's what I enjoy as a reader. Sometimes I hid literary references to the classics. In Her Fingers there's a Crime and Punishment one.
I also like having a political approach to fantasy stories, even if it's just a story about teenagers. I like detailing political systems and I guess I somehow end up writing about the control of societies and control in general.
PR: Full of vibrant ideas and with plenty of room for development, do you plan return to the world of Her Fingers? Will it be a cornerstone for new books?
TR: I don't plan to go back to Her Fingers' world, but I don't dismiss it either. I might think about writing some short stories set in that universe –definitely not a novel-, maybe about the Sleepwalkers, or Barsiddharta's dictatorship period, but mind that I wrote the first version five years ago. Then, until last year, the story was kept in a USB in a drawer and I almost forgot it completely, because I've been working on a long novel for the last two years, and it's a story with a more detailed and complex world that keeps me quite busy right now.
PR: What are your future projects?
TR: I'm just finishing a novel in Spanish. It's my longest piece so far. It's a dark fantasy story about two detective girls, set in a strange mountain-city with a very high density of twins and some weird events going on after the disappearance of a young girl. It also has a dense political background, night clubs, strippers, rock bands, an evil female governor... I'm not sure if you'll be able to read it this year, I'd like to find an editor first. I'm very happy already with the first draft, but it still needs work. I'll also be working on some short fiction in English and I hope to write a couple of novelettes in 2013. And, obviously I'll be supporting Her Fingers out there. That little book is very dear to me and the e-book edition is coming very soon.
PR: Where can our readers find more about you and your work?
