In 2004 MCB was approached by the Libraries for the Future and asked to help in developing library services for the anticipated surge in retirements and the increasing senior population. Arguing that increases in healthy longevity have given a new shape to lives that requires a new kind of consciousness, MCB proposed the creation of discussion groups dealing with the concept of "Active Wisdom," and this proposal has been adopted as a signature program of the LFF. Since then, she has been working with the Lifelong Access Program of the Libraries for the Future in presenting the concept to regional and professional organizations of librarians and providing models for "Active Wisdom Dialogues" to be convened in public libraries.
MCB sometimes (but not exclusively) works through a speaking agent, Ms. Fredda Kray at (201) 461-3235 or by e-mail at email@example.com. You might also check the list of public appearances for current themes as well as possible conflicts or combinations, although the list is not always up to date.

MCB gives occasional workshops, ranging from an afternoon to several days, either for the general public or for special interest groups. These occasions provide a way to get to know her and allow for participation in a group process. Many of these workshops have focused on learning through improvisation and adaptation to change. Whenever possible, she does these workshops in collaboration with her daughter, NY actor Sevanne Kassarjian (Sevanne Martin). In addition to her acting in New York and regional theater and teaming up with her mother for workshops, Sevanne also coaches communication skills, does voice-overs, and has recorded MCB's Peripheral Visions for Books-On-Tape.
No. Her original training was in linguistics and Middle Eastern studies and then she shifted to cultural anthropology. She has done some writing about each of the countries she has lived in, but primarily in the form of articles or examples in her books. Her recent work has focused on the way social change affects the shape of lives and the task of lifelong learning.
MCB now has two grandsons, Cyrus James Griffin, born in 2002, and Anton Gregory Griffin, born in 2006. Having grandchildren has added depth to the well from which MCB draws for her writing and reflection. On developing a child's love of reading: "Language and tradition are rooted in oral culture and enriched by touch. Reading and writing and even watching television need to be embedded in these most ancient exchanges and relationships, social rather than solitary. With the many new board books that exist today, that hardly existed when my daughter Sevanne was an infant, children can be hooked on books before they are a year old, for years to come. We depend so much on professional entertainment that it can be a revelation for an adult to sing out loud, ham up a reading, or make up stories for the first time in years, with a delighted audience. I also believe that children should be encouraged to dictate stories and letters from an early age, for their imaginations inevitably run ahead of their writing skills."
New Hampshire provides the setting for learning about nature as MCB learned from her father during childhood summers. "I caught a garter snake for Cyrus on his first birthday so he could have the experience of feeling the delicate strength of its entire body and the dry texture of its scaly skin – this child will never think of snakes as slimy. This year he caught one himself for the first time. We go walking through the woods and today we brought back a wooly bear caterpillar and a newt to show to Anton. Cyrus understands that any animal we find should be handled as little as possible and is to be released within a few hours."
It depends who you are and what interests you. Many people encounter MCB's work first through Composing a Life, given to them by a friend at a time when they are facing decisions or transitions in their lives. It remains MCB's best known book and was a New York Times paperback bestseller. Because the basic themes of Composing are carried further in Composing a Further Life, MCB encourages readers to go to that directly, preferably well before turning fifty. As a writer, MCB is probably proudest of With a Daughter's Eye, her memoir of her parents that was one of the New York Times "Best Books of 1984." (Don't believe it if a web site says it is out of print, it is still available from HarperCollins.) Peripheral Visions is the book that explores MCB's ideas about learning across difference and continues to be read in circles dealing with education and cross cultural communication. Willing to Learn, published in 2004, is a collection that draws on Bateson's whole career. It's the kind of book you dip into and jump around in rather than one designed to be read in sequence from cover to cover. Our Own Metaphor is currently in print at Hampton Press and is the book that most addresses environmental issues. It is also a unique effort to make a conference dealing with complex ideas read like a novel. In fact, all of the works mentioned here are designed for the intelligent reader and avoid jargon like the plague.
WHAT WAS MCB'S MOST RECENT PUBLICATION BEFORE Composing a Further Life?
In 2004 she published a book of essays titled Willing to Learn: Passages of Personal Discovery. This includes some essays originally published in relatively specialized journals or collections of readings and therefore not well known, some essays that have been reprinted and widely available, like "Six Days of Dying," her account of the death of her father, and a number of brand new essays.
"Putting this book together has been like writing an intellectual autobiography," she says, "going back and looking at how my interests evolved from poetry and linguistics to the study of gender roles and of change. It has been fascinating to realize that the emphasis on learning has been there from the very beginning."
Those who are familiar with MCB's later work will be surprised to hear about a reprint of a very early book, published when her primary interest was in Arabic linguistics, which came out in 2003. The Arabic Language Handbook was published by the Center for Applied Linguistics in 1967, part of a series designed to "provide an outline of the salient features of a particular language and a summary of the language situation and language problems of the country or area in which it is spoken." It was reissued in the Georgetown University Press series, Classics in Arabic Language and Linguistics, in April, 2003.
Composing a Further Life: The Age of Active Wisdom came out in September, 2010, and is now available as a paperback, ebook (Nook and Kindle) and on audiotape. As readers will remember, she has long argued that increased longevity is not a matter of addition but of multiplication, so increases in life expectancy involve changes in the entire life cycle, another fundamental change is that we have shifted from a three generation society to a four generation society, one with lots of active grandparents who are mobile and active, while the pattern of "long memories and short walks" has shifted to the great grandparents, present in large number for the first time in history. Bateson has coined the term "active wisdom" to describe the potential of older adults. She has argued that a new era of consciousness raising is needed as older adults rid themselves of out of date stereotypes of aging and discover the kinds of engagement that will complete the composition of their lives.
The papers of Margaret Mead and many of her colleagues and correspondents are in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress.
The papers of Ruth Benedict are archived at Vassar College.
Inquiries concerning publishing permission for the published works of Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict should be addressed in writing to the Publications Dept. of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and should specify the material to be reprinted with location and length as well as the context of the reprint, e.g. journal, tradebook, etc.
The pre-World War II papers and ethnographic photographs and film by Gregory Bateson are in the South Pacific Archive of the Library of Congress. His post-war papers are in the Special Collections of University of California at Santa Cruz. Inquiries regarding the works of Gregory Bateson should be addressed to the Bateson Ideas Group, POB 32102, Bellingham WA 98228.
The records of the Institute for Intercultural Studies up to the time of Mead's death are also in the Library of Congress, but records from the administration of M.C. Bateson are being deposited with her other papers in the Schlesinger Library at Harvard University and may not yet be cataloged and available.

Planned Parenthood of Alaska announced last week it is opening an office in Juneau to provide sexual health education to area schools, the University of Alaska Southeast, community centers and other health and educational agencies.
Katherine Davey, the director of education and training for Planned Parenthood of Alaska who will head Juneau's office, said the organization eventually wants to open a clinic to provide abortion services, birth control, pregnancy testing, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, breast and cervical cancer screening and other services.
"We're a pro-choice organization and believe abortion should be a safe and legal option," she said. "But 98 percent of our efforts are to prevent unintended pregnancies and therefore the need for abortions."
Davey has worked for the organization in Anchorage since 1988. She provided prevention education to at-risk youths, training for peer education groups and sex health education classes for educators, counselors and nurses. She also has worked as adjunct professor at the University of Alaska Anchorage, teaching courses in human sexuality.
Davey said she plans to visit middle school and high school classes in Juneau to present "age-appropriate and medically accurate" information on sexual development, healthy relationships, methods of birth control, sexually transmitted infections and teaching strategies for sexual health curricula.
"We present programs on abstinence as well as methods of birth control," she noted.
She also plans to speak to students at UAS, and resident assistants who work in the dormitory on sex health issues. The organization also plans to provide outreach to various social service agencies, such as teen residential treatment centers and rape crisis centers, Davey said.
The Juneau office will give Planned Parenthood an opportunity to attend local events such as health fairs, Davey said.
She said Planned Parenthood is uncertain if it will open a clinic in Juneau, but noted: "We could fill a need."
Planned Parenthood's Sitka clinic is the organization's lone clinic in Southeast. Davey said fundraising is the primary obstacle to opening a clinic in Juneau. The primary goal for the Juneau office will be to provide educational resources, she said.
She said the Planned Parenthood annually serves about 4,000 Alaskans at locations in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Sitka and Soldotna. That number includes men, women and teenagers, Davey said.
"A lot of people think that Planned Parenthood is just for teens," Davey said, noting that the clinics offer a broad range of services for everyone, ranging from annual exams to hormone replacement therapy.
For more information, contact the Juneau office at 321-7526, at P.O. Box 20389, Juneau, AK, 99802, or visit www.plannedparenthoodalaska.org.

The Dow Now: 'Modest' Start for Surface Leads to Microsoft Drop
Sterling Wong
Boeing and AT&T were up on the day.
After enduring its worst week since June, the US stock market inched up a notch in early Monday trading, but fell back into the red by the afternoon amidst continued uncertainty over the fiscal cliff of automatic tax increases and spending cuts.
"Right now, all eyes are on Washington, and we're just waiting," Matthew Keator, a partner in the Keator Group, a wealth management firm in Lenox, Massachusetts, told
. "We're hopeful something gets done, but we've been disappointed before. We need to see something done if we're going to remain up for the year."
Dow Jones Industrial Average
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) was down 0.18% to 12,792.16 points as of 12:06 p.m. EST.
(NYSE:BA) was one of the day's leading gainers, advancing 0.74% to $73.79. Today the aerospace giant announced that its employees had rolled out the first 787 Dreamliner last week at an improved rate of five airplanes per month. Boeing had earlier increased the rate from 2.5 to 3.5 airplanes per month and the company is on track to hit its goal of 10 airplanes per month by late 2013.
(NYSE:T) was also up 0.76% to $33.79. It was reported late Friday that AT&T will become the first US wireless carrier to offer subsidized wireless data subscription plans for
(NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad, much like how iPhones are currently sold. The company said in a press release that it would offer a $100 discount to online or in-store customers buying an iPad tied to a service contract, which will range from $10 per month to $50 per month individually. Customers can also added the iPad to one of AT&T's Mobile Share plans. Legacy unlimited data users are not eligible for the deal, however.
(NASDAQ:MSFT) led Dow decliners, sliding 1.84% to $28.30. Investors were likely concerned after CEO Steve Ballmer told French publication
Le Parisien
that sales of its new tablet, Surface, were off to a modest start. Ballmer did, however, point out that the cause was lack of supply, not demand, with Surface being available only at limited outlets, noted
With insurers still unable to end the uncertainty and provide specific figures on the costs of Hurricane Sandy,
(NYSE:TRV) also dipped 1.01% to $68.28.

Colorado Graduate Industrial Organizational Psychology Programs
Industrial Organizational Psychology Graduate Programs (or IO Psychology Programs) help students develop a thorough understanding of human behavior and how it impacts the workplace.
Through a combination of psychology and business courses, students may learn to use best psychological principles and practices to solve problems in many areas of an organization. Industrial organizational psychologists could address issues in HR, administration, sales, management, marketing and more.
Industrial organizational programs may also help students develop top research skills and knowledge. They may learn to conduct their own studies to better understand interactions in the workplace and help employees and organizations thrive.
What Is Industrial Organizational Psychology?
Industrial organizational psychology, or IO psychology, is the application of psychology to organizations in both the public and private sector. Psychological principles and methods are used to solve problems and improve the quality of work life.
For example, IO psychology may be used to address issues such as productivity, differing work styles and morale. It may also inform policy decisions, employee screening or training practices, and strategic development.
Industrial organizational psychologists could be useful in many different places. Businesses, government agencies, consulting firms and research bodies are just a few examples. Within these organizations, an organizational psychologist might support a wide range of departments and tasks.i
In brief, industrial organization psychology could play a role anywhere people work together. And earning a graduate organizational psychology degree may prepare you to be part of this process.
Overview of Industrial Organizational Psychology Programs
Industrial organizational psychology graduate programs focus not only on the psychology of the workplace from a scientific standpoint, but also on its use to benefit both the organization and its individual members. The field can be divided into two main parts.
Industrial psychology graduate programs highlight the study and application of psychology as it affects workers on a personal level. This could include things like employee reviews, benefits, and the overall work environment.
Organizational psychology programs focus on the effectiveness of the organization as a whole. While graduate programs may focus on both these areas, knowing what aspects of industrial organizational psychology are of most interest to you may help to determine your ideal course of study.
Your background may also be a major factor when it comes to selecting your school. Each industrial organizational psychology program may have different admission requirements based on education and professional experience. Requirements and available areas of focus vary, so follow up with an admission advisor for details.
Potential Courses in Industrial Psychology Graduate Programs
Industrial organizational psychology graduate programs combine clinical and organizational psychology courses with business classes. This provides students with a well-rounded base with which to understand and influence dynamics in the workplace.
Students may also take classes to develop their research skills and knowledge. While curriculum may vary depending on degree level and program goals, IO pssychology students could expect to take a few of the following classes.
- Consulting for Organizational Change
- Behavior Theories and Strategies
- Workplace Motivation and Attitudes
- Research Theory, Design, and Methods
- IO Tests and Measurement
- Personnel Psychology in the Workplace
- Training and Evaluation
Contact individual industrial organizational psychology schools for a full course list.
Research and Practicums in Organizational Psychology Graduate Programs
Many industrial organizational psychology programs provide students with ways to learn outside the classroom. If your goal is to pursue research, looking at what opportunities are available may be crucial.
This is especially important for those interested in earning a PhD organizational psychology degree. Research often plays a larger role in doctorate programs, and most have a dissertation requirement. Therefore, it may be a good idea to seek programs with opportunities that align with your interests.
Those starting with masters in organizational psychology programs may also wish to look for chances to gain research experience. This may help you pursue academic and professional opportunities. Plus, it could potentially strengthen your doctorate application if you continue your studies.
If you're more interested in applying research as an industrial organizational psychologist, choosing a program with a greater focus on the real-world may be preferable. Some industrial psychology programs involve practicums, observation, or other experiences that may be of value. Schools vary so contact them directly for details.
Types of IO Psychology Programs
Industrial organizational psychology graduate programs may be offered at several levels and award different types of credentials. These may range from graduate certificates to masters or doctorate degrees. Each is tailored toward a unique set of academic and professional goals. They may also have varying requirements.
Industrial Organizational Psychology Masters Programs
Masters in industrial organizational psychology programs prepare students to pursue careers as industrial organizational psychologists or to continue their education in a doctorate program. They may result in either a MA or MS degree. Often, MA and MS organizational psychology masters programs are rather similar. However, when they do vary, they may reflect different career and educational goals.
Many MA in industrial psychology programs are geared toward enabling further study. They may act as a stepping stone toward a doctorate and professional research opportunities.
As such, many MA organizational psychology masters programs require the successful completion of a thesis for graduation. They also often take a more liberal arts approach to subject matter and may place a heavier emphasis on theory.
An MS program in industrial organizational psychology, on the other hand, may focus more on the practical application of IO psychology. These are often based on a scientist-practitioner model and focus heavily on applying theory and research in the field. For this reason, Masters of Science in Organizational Psychology programs may be a great way to prepare to pursue management, HR and analytic roles.
Both organizational psychology masters programs often include an internship or practicum component to augment classroom study. This may help students to gain experience in the field.
There may also be opportunities to support professors with research or pursue interests of your own. Every masters in organizational psychology program is designed differently, so it's best to review course lists and contact schools for additional information.
How Long Does It Take to Earn a Masters in Industrial Organizational Psychology Degree?
Typically industrial organizational psychology masters programs require two years of full time study. However this may vary by program and enrollment. Contact an advisor for specifics.
Applying to Organizational Psychology Masters Programs
To apply to a masters in organizational psychology program, students may need to have earned a bachelors in psychology degree.
However, organizational psychology masters programs may also consider relevant experience, as well as skills that may cross over from other disciplines. Students with undergraduate degrees in different fields may be required to demonstrate a basic level of fluency with psychology or take remedial courses before entry.
Industrial organizational psychology schools may also require a minimum undergraduate GPA, test scores and other admission materials. Contact preferred masters in organizational psychology programs to learn more.
PhD Industrial Organizational Psychology Programs
PhD organizational psychology programs are research focused programs that provide the highest level of study in the field. Most allow students to conduct their own IO research, both during the program and post graduation.
Students are often required to complete a disseration in which they have an opportunity to explore a specific area of interest. Coursework may also be tailored to support this effort.
To graduate, PhD organizational psychology students present, defend and publish their findings. They also typically take final exams.
How Long Are PhD Organizational Psychology Programs?
Most industrial organizational psychology PhD programs take about 4-7 years of full times study to complete, though programs vary. Upon graduation, students might pursue careers teaching at a university or a variety of advanced professional and consulting positions.ii,iii Employement requirements vary.
Applying to PhD IO Psychology Programs
As Ph.D. organizational psychology programs are longer and typically research based, many may have research experience requirements for admission. This experience could be earned while earning an industrial organizational psychology masters degree or in a professional setting.
In either case, a masters degree from an accredited university may be required. Other materials such as essays, transcipts and test scores may also be requested. Contact schools for details.
Graduate Certificate in Industrial Organizational Psychology Programs
Graduate certificate programs in industrial organizational psychology may be ideal for working professionals looking to expand expertise. These programs are often shorter and have more concentrated course work. In fact, often programs may require only 1-1.5 years of study.
Many may be aimed at individuals who have already completed a related graduate program but wish develop specialized knowledge in industrial organizational psychology. Others may better suit those from different fields looking to apply IO psychology principles to their current career.
Depending on the program and its goals, a certificate in organizational psychology program may require a bachelors or masters degree, as well as professional experience. Some may also provide credits that are transferable to a later industrial organizational psychology masters program. Every program is different, so contact schools for details.
Campus vs Organizational Psychology Programs Online
Choosing the format for your IO psychology program may be a key factor in the success of your education. Schools now offer a variety of options that may fit into your lifestyle. On-campus, online, and hybrid programs may all be available.
Industrial organizational psychology schools, the most traditional option, may be ideal for those who want the community atmosphere of a campus. Many schools have facilties like labs and libraries to enhance the classroom experience. Students may also have the opportunity to participate in research opportunities alongside professors.
Industrial organizational psychology online programs may offer a level of convenience perfect for the working professional. Graduate programs situated 100% online may not be subject to geographical restrictions. Additionally, online classes could have greater flexibility to fit into your schedule.
However, it's important to note that some organizational psychology programs online may have practicum or other in person requirements. These may be completed at a local facility or through campus visits. Follow up for details.
Hybrid industrial and organizational psychology programs combine aspects of both campus and online options. Students may complete courses online, then participate in short campus visits. Or take both online and on campus courses throughout the semester. This format may be designed several different ways, so be sure to double check details before applying.
What Is an Industrial Organizational Psychologist?
Sometimes referred to as business psychologists, industrial organizational psychologists use psychological theories and methods to solve problems in the workplace. They may perform rigorous academic and scientific research and apply psychological principles, and their research findings, to creating and sustaining a happier, healthier, and more effective organization.
An industrial organizational psychologist might work at a company, with a healthcare team at hospitals and clinics or in government. Others may work alone, doing independent research, consulting with clients, or counseling patients.
How to Become an Organizational Psychologist
Psychologists typically need a doctoral degree in psychology to practice, such as a PhD or PsyD. However to become an industrial organizational psychologist, you may only need a masters degree. That said, some may choose to earn a doctorate in organizational psychology degree to expand their knowledge and potentially gain a competitive edge.
Additionally, in most states, practicing psychology or using the title "psychologist" requires licensure. In all states and the District of Columbia, psychologists who practice independently must be licensed where they work.
However licensing laws vary by state and type of position.ii In some cases, industrial organizatinoal psychologists may not need licensure. This may depend on the jursidiction, as well as the specific role and responsibilities. For that reason, it's best to speak with your state board directly.
How Much Do Industrial Organizational Psychologists Make?
In 2016, the median annual salary for industrial organizational psychologists was $82,760.iv
Employment of industrial and organizational psychologists is projected to grow 6 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as average for all occupations. However, industrial organizational psychologists are expected to face competition for positions because of the large number of qualified applicants.
Industrial-organizational psychologists with extensive training in quantitative research methods may have a competitive edge.v Look for industrial psychology graduate programs with a strong research component, such as PhD in Industrial Organizational Psychology programs, if this is of interest to you.

For the past 11 days Dan Bylsma has patiently awaited the victory that would move him past Michel Therrien on the Penguins' all-time list for coaching wins. If the black-and-gold's recent results are any indication of what's in store, the affable skipper might have a long wait.
Continuing a dismal stretch that harkens back to the dark final days of Therrien's reign, the Pens surrendered another early lead and dropped a 3-1 decision to New Jersey at CONSOL Energy Center. The victory propelled the surging Devils past the land-locked Penguins and into third place in the Atlantic Division.
The contest was a virtual cookie-cutter replay of Friday night's loss to the Rangers. Determined to escape the doldrums, the Pens played another passionate first period. Evgeni Malkin snapped a prolonged dry spell against New Jersey (no points in his last six games against the red and black) when he laced a bullet past Martin Brodeur from the left point at 4:48.
Again, the Pens proceeded to dominate a foe over the opening 20 minutes, out-shooting the visitors by a whopping 12-3 margin. Once again, they failed to capitalize on their early momentum.
Peter DeBoer's crew began to turn the tide in the second period thanks to an aggressive forecheck. The Pens appeared to catch a break at the eight-minute mark when New Jersey enforcer Eric Boulton was given the gate for goaltender interference. However, it was the opportunistic Devils who cashed in. Rookie Adam Henrique stripped the puck from Pens point man Steve Sullivan and beat Marc-Andre Fleury on a shorthanded breakaway to knot the score at 1-1.
"Flower" quickly made amends, stoning the ever-dangerous Ilya Kovalchuk on a pair of rapid-fire shots from close range. However, the Russian sniper would not be denied. At 11:23 Kovalchuk gathered in a feed from Zach Parise and overpowered Fleury with an absolute bomb from center point.
Displaying plenty of fight, the Penguins pressed furiously for the tying goal. Brodeur responded with a huge left-pad save on Brooks Orpik and an equally impressive stop on Chris Kunitz at the buzzer.
Trailing 2-1 entering the final period, the Pens still had a fighting chance to earn a point or two. But Malkin was whistled for an ill-timed tripping minor in the opening minute to hand New Jersey a power play. Dainius Zubris promptly finished off a classic tic-tac-toe passing play to put the game out of reach.
"You've got to find a way to battle through it and as a team play well and get wins and get points," Fleury said afterward.
Ice Chips
Malkin was voted No. 3 star … Deryk Engelland had two hits and five shots … The Penguins out-shot the Devils 42-27 … The Pens are 5-6 against the Atlantic Division (1-6 versus the Flyers, Rangers, and Devils) … Jordan Staal sat out with a knee injury … Steve MacIntyre dressed in his place … The Pens have lost a league-high 210-man games due to injury … Robert Bortuzzo was returned to Wilkes-Barre … Arron Asham, Sidney Crosby, Dustin Jeffrey, Kris Letang, and Staal were scratches.
On Deck
The Penguins (21-15-4) play host to Ottawa (21-15-6) Tuesday night at CONSOL Energy Center. The Pens trail the Senators by two points in the Eastern Conference standings. The teams split their first two meetings of the season.

Two Monroe County Community School Corporation schools received a failing grade in this year's assessment from the Indiana Department of Education.
Last year Bloomington New Tech High School was the only school in the district to receive a failing grade. This year, New Tech Got a "D", while Templeton and Fairview Elementary both failed.
MCCSC Superintendent Judy DeMuth says the school corporation is focusing on the positive, but there is room for improvement and a plan will be put in place to help increase next year's scores.
"They'll be able to show that growth next year on the test, and that's what it's all about," she says. "It's about not flat lining, but about student growth and although we did receive some grades that we were disappointed in it's because our students didn't grow enough."
Arlington Heights Elementary School received a grade of 'B' the last two years. This year they made an 'A'. Principal Shannon Carroll-Frey says the reason for the change is a new focus on student development.
"I really feel like it came down to focusing on growth and our results when you look at the breakdown for how the letter grade is calculated show that," she says.

Cup failure a likely swansong for She's Archie

Trainer Darren Weir's unlikely dream of winning a Melbourne Cup with his injury-prone mare She's Archie ended in despair when the six-year-old bowed a tendon and trailed in last in what appears certain to be her final race.
For more than two weeks leading up to the cup, Weir had been working against the clock to have the mare ready for yesterday after suffering general soreness, but after she settled in the back half of the field in the cup, she faltered near the 1200-metre mark and then dropped out of the race before walking across the line in last place.
Racing Victoria chief veterinarian John McCaffrey said last night that on examining She's Archie after the race, he found the mare had sprained her right front tendon. But McCaffrey said the injury was not necessarily related to her earlier problems.
"We saw nothing to suggest she was carrying a tendon injury," McCaffrey said.
"We examined her three times and we looked at everything. As part of the examinations, we looked at her tendons and there was no heat. There was no pain. There was no swelling in the tendon. It was cool and symmetrical.
"She trotted out well each time we looked at her and she was never short in her action. I don't think we could have made any other decision (than allowing her to start yesterday)."
She's Archie has endured a long battle with injury and ill-health. She twisted a bowel following her victory in the 2002 SA Oaks and had to have part of her intestine removed.
When she was ready to return to work, she suffered another bowel problem and had to be operated on again. She then developed soreness in the shoulder area and a scan showed a cracked elbow. Then following the Melbourne Cup last year, in which she finished second, she pulled up with a fractured pelvis. Two weeks ago, she became sore in the hindquarters.
Her jockey Corey Brown had refused all other offers for rides in the Melbourne Cup, preferring to wait and hope that She's Archie would make it.
He said he was devastated by her injury.
"She just felt shocking from about the 1200 metres and I just eased her out from that point so as to not make it any worse. But I don't think she's pulled up that well," Brown said.
Weir left the course soon after the cup and was unavailable for comment last night.

Credo Mutwa delivers a critique of prestigious exhibitions of African art
The Guggenheim and the Royal Academy of Art in London exhibited hundreds of beautiful examples of great works of art from the African continent in exhibitions entitled 'Africa 95' and 'Africa, The Art of a Continent' respectively. Note: The excerpts presented in this article are reproduced here for the purpose of critique.
Authour: Phillips, Tom
Publisher: Munich [etc.]: Prestel
Credo Mutwa reviews and elaborates significantly on the Royal Academy of Art exhibition catalogue. His critique clearly shows that the people who own and exhibit many of these great works of art from Africa do not know what they really are.
In old Africa, art had spiritual significance. Indigenous knowledge holders of Africa hold the most reliable knowledge of the true nature of Africa, of her life forms, places and people, of African history, worldviews, arts and healing, as well as the spirituality and cultural practices of this continent.
The Eurocentric versions of published works on Africa that have been purveyed as reliable knowledge are only useful to demonstrate the dangerous extent to which foreign agenda driven distortions can obstruct knowledge and education, and effectively disinform and imprint millions of minds.
Most of these African treasures are owned by foreign museums and private collections even today.
These are the comments Credo Mutwa made while paging through the catalogue of the Royal Academy of Art exhibition 'Africa 95'.
'Here is something I find very interesting…
This is the so-called Kenilworth head.
This head shows an African emperor, Zulu, the son of Malandela. This is the founder of the Zulu nation, King Zulu. He had sculptures of his face to watch over his territory, all over Natal and parts of the Transvaal.
If you were to superimpose the face of King Shaka, you would find it's the same ancestry. A stone ring would have been placed on his head.
He established an empire in South Africa which extended all the way from Natal, right through to the Western Transvaal and parts of the Free State.
This head is one of about thirty, which are scattered, as yet undiscovered, in parts of my country. Because this king was cripple and could not be in all places at once, he made a strange law; that accurate heads representing him should be made by Hottentot people, who at that time were his subjects and that these heads should be placed in various parts of the king's empire, usually on top of piles or cairns of heavy rocks.
When I was a boy, I saw a head exactly like this which had been dug up in the sand on the banks of the Tugela River. The head was exactly like the head I'm looking at here.
There is something I would like to point out here and it is this; this head shows pure Zulu features and not KhoiSan or Basuto features at all. The head is shaven, exactly as warrior Zulus of the Malandela clan used to do. The head has no ear plugs, because King Shaka and King Zulu never allowed anyone to pierce his ears.'Royal Academy of Art Catalogue Description
He opens the beautifully presented book where these artifacts are described as dance shields.
'This is not a dance shield. It is a circumcision shield.
Why is it listed as a dance shield, when every stupid mompara (ignoramus) in South Africa can tell you that this is a circumcision shield?
The young man puts his penis through the hole, the cut is made and the foreskin and first blood drops into the receptacle.'Royal Academy of Art Catalogue Description
Page 216
'This is not a beaded apron.
Here is a thing again which makes one rather sad. In front of me here I see a picture of a skin cloak, heavily decorated with beads. These beads are arranged into discs, some done in blue and white, some done in yellow and blue, some done in white and pink beads.
Let me tell you that this is an astrologer's cloak. It belongs to an Ndebele woman of long ago, whose profession was studying the stars and using them as a means of divination. What is most remarkable is that this cloak represents a number of stars which Africans regard with deep reverence.
The cloak represents the Orion constellation. The blue discs symbolize the outer stars of the constellation, while the three discs symbolize Orion's belt and there are the two other stars, outside the constellation.
This depicts stars, constellations and star systems. The Milky Way is up there. If you were to hold this against the night sky, you would identify every star. These are the Pleiades, as they come out to the east.
My maternal grandmother had a similar cloak exactly like this and she used to call it Nganyezi or star cloak. Whenever it was time for ploughing, whenever the Pleiades constellation rose in the east, then my grandmother would come out wearing a skin skirt and her star cloak on her shoulders and she would blow a horn early in the morning telling the chief in his village far away that she had seen the stars of spring and that the time for ploughing had arrived.
This depicts stars, constellations, star systems. We had professional astrologers and we had pure astronomers. They had things by which they instructed their apprentices. This shows where particular stars are to be found.
I remember my grandmother's cloak hanging in her hut and how she would put it on to blow the horn to announce that the Pleiades, the nine sisters, had appeared in the eastern skies. Whereas this is made with trade beads, my grandmother's was made of beads, seeds and metal beads of various kinds.'Royal Academy of Art Catalogue Description
Page 217
'Again here in the next page we see a similar cloak showing the Pleiades rising from the east. It is an astronomers cloak and like the cloak on the preceding page, this cloak was worn by a woman.
The zigzag pattern denotes that this is the property of a royal woman and must not be touched by the uninitiated.'Royal Academy of Art Catalogue Description
'This skirt portrays the solar system and reveals the planets our people know. It belonged to a sacred priestess.'
Royal Academy of Art Catalogue Description
'They are not an ordinary king and queen. They are God The Father and God The Mother.
In many cultures in Africa, God the Mother is depicted as having a beard. The male is the captive of the female and the female is the captive of the male.
Here is the moon symbol of the female. There must have been a sun down there, symbolizing that the female is in the male and the male in the female.'Royal Academy of Art Catalogue Description
'This Is not a scepter, it is a sacrificial or circumcision knife blade.
These are thunderbolts. The European Jupiter holds thunderbolts. The African God also holds thunderbolts. God the Father is the keeper of thunderbolts. God the Father is also female, there are opposing moons.
That is the blade of a sacrificial or circumcision knife. It was a ritual weapon.'Royal Academy of Art Catalogue Description

Posted on 01/30/2006 8:17:56 AM PST by Toddsterpatriot
As coincidence would have it, Mark Crispin Miller's new book, "Fooled Again" (Basic Books), documenting the Republican theft of the 2004 presidential election, arrived in the same mail delivery with the Jan. 12 edition of the Defuniak Springs Herald, the locally owned weekly newspaper in a Florida panhandle county seat.
The Florida panhandle is thoroughgoing Republican. Even Democrats run as Republicans. Nevertheless, the newspaper's editor, Ron Kelley, believes that American political life is measured by something larger than party affiliation. In his editorial, "The Shepherds and the Sheep," Kelley reports that two Florida counties have banned any further use of Diebold voting machines after witnessing a professional demonstration that the machines, contrary to Diebold's claim, are easily hacked to record votes differently from the way in which they are cast by voters.
The pre-election statement by Diebold's CEO that he would work to deliver the election to Bush was apparently no idle boast. In five states where the new "foolproof" electronic voting machines were used, the vote tallies differed substantially from the exit polls. Such a disparity is unusual. The chances of exit polls in five states being wrong are no more than one in a million. (OMG, what a stupid thing to say!!)
Miller describes considerably more election fraud than voting machines programmed to count a proportion of Kerry votes as Bush votes. Voters were disenfranchised in a number of ways. Miller reports incidences of intimidation of, and reduced voting opportunities for, poorer voters who tend to vote Democrat.
Some of Miller's evidence is circumstantial. However, he documents widespread Republican dirty tricks and foul play. The media's indifference to a stolen election burns Miller as much as the stolen election itself.
Miller is not alone in his concerns. The nonpartisan U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), in response to a congressional request, investigated a number of complaints regarding the electronic voting machines.
Here are some of the problems noted in the GAO's September 2005 report:
Some voting machines did not encrypt cast ballots or system audit logs, and it was possible to alter both without being detected.
It was possible to alter the machines so that a ballot cast for one candidate would be recorded for another.
Vendors installed uncertified versions of voting system software at the local level.
Access was easily compromised and did not require a widespread conspiracy. A small handful of people is sufficient to steal an election. Curiously, the media have shown no interest in the GAO report. In my opinion, a free press has proven to be inconsistent with the recently permitted highly concentrated corporate ownership of the U.S. media.
The electronic voting machines leave virtually no paper trail, and their use involves private, potentially partisan corporations tabulating the votes with proprietary software that is not transparent.
A number of counties in various states have decided to return to paper ballots that can be verified and recounted. But now that Republicans have learned that they can use the electronic machines to control election outcomes, the disenfranchisement of Democrats is likely to be a permanent feature of American "democracy."
Other reports claim that the undersampling by pollsters of Democratic voters creates a percentage bias that exaggerates the number of Republican voters by as much as 5 percent, thus providing cover for vote fraud. If hard-to-reach Democratic voters, such as the working poor, are less likely to answer telephones, polls can create the illusion that there are more Republican voters than in fact exist.
If the electronic voting machines are then rigged to shift 5 percent or 6 percent of the vote to the Republican candidate, the result is not at odds with the expected result and can be used as "evidence" to counter the divergence between exit polls and vote tally.
The outcome of the 2004 presidential election has always struck me as strange. Although Kerry was a poor candidate and evaded the issue most on the public's mind, by November 2004 a majority of Americans were aware that Bush had led the country into a gratuitous war on the basis either of incompetence or deception.
By November 2004, it was completely clear that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction and that Bush had rushed to war. People were concerned by the changing rationales that Bush was offering for going to war. Moreover, the needless war was going badly, and the results bore no relationship to the rosy scenario painted at the time of the invasion. It seems contrary to American common sense for voters to have re-elected a president who had failed in such a dramatic way.
Miller directs our attention to Bush's high-handed treatment of dissenters. If electronic voting machines programmed by private Republican firms remain in our future, dissent will become pointless unless it boils over into revolution. Power-mad Republicans need to consider the result when democracy loses its legitimacy and only the rich have anything to lose.
Hmmm - and exit polls had Chavez losing in Venezuala and Fatah winning for the Palestinians. The network consortium that used to conduct exit polls was disbanded because of problems with those polls. Gee, Paul maybe something is wrong with exit polling - ya think?
Meanwhile, in the main state that the nutbars say was stolen - Ohio - only fifteen percent of the counties had computerized voting machines. Most of those were in Dem-controlled counties. And only one was in a county where the machines were from a Diebold subsidiary -and that was in a county with middlin' population.
So, in other words, to a sane person, there is no way the GOP could have used machines to steal Ohio. So what does that say about PCR?
No barf alert?
This is too stupid for all but the most gullible.
"we wuz robbed by Boooosh."
See how far that mantra takes you moonbats.
Ala the buchanans.
BTW, bay buchanan runs tom tancredo's PAC
That's about all I needed to read to know the author was wearing a tin foil hat while he was typing.
Paul Craig Roberts = barf alert.
I would really love to have more time to get after Bush for his positions on spending and illegal immigration. But the left and the whackjob right spend so much energy attacking Bush with nonsense that I feel compelled to debunk this crap as it comes out. Unfortunately, the GOP must see that as support for their positions.
Of course the election was stolen. That is the only way to explain why the American people voted against a candidate who:
-Supported, gay marriage, abortion on demand, and euthenasia.
-Betrayed his country by undermining its efforts in Southeast Asia.
-Lied about his war record in Southeast Asia and refused to release his records (still waiting).
-Had a "secret" plan for Iraq that really was just to cut and run, as was done in Southeast Asia.
-Voted for funding our troops fighting in Iraq, before voting against it.
-Was against SUV's even though he drives one.
-Thought tax cuts only favored the rich even though they revived the economy and everyone received one.
-Believed the War on Terror was not really a war and should be handled by issuing arrest warrants and using law enforcement.
-Decried that the President had lied about WMD's in Iraq even though he was on record as saying Iraq had WMD's.
-Advocated turning over our national defense to the United Nations (read, France).
Yes, how could such a brilliant and superior candidate have lost!?!? Something was clearly wrong here as the exit polls, conducted by the ever neutral MSM, clearly showed that candidate to have won by a landslide. Call John Conyers, lets get some hearings going on this!!!!
"...However, he documents widespread Republican dirty tricks and foul play..."
Ah. Like vandalizing vans meant to take voters to the polls on election day?
Of course, my mistake!
I'll bet PCR also believes that Elvis is alive and living with the same aliens who built the pyramids. PCR leaves no doubt about the state of his mental competence.
If he has such a faith in exit polls why isn't has concerned about Florida in 2000 that had Bush winning?
Show me one time when exit polls are 100% right.
All polls are wrong to some extent. Add in a flawed model (and in this case, results taken only partway through voting!), and they'll be even more wrong. Have them all done by the same organization, and, if it's wrong in one place, it's probably going to be off in another.
'A million to one?' Let's see the math on that one.
Like the exit polls that showed Hamas being trounced by Fatah? Exit polls are routinely wrong.
Have you answered properly, or do you believe that this claim is covered by the constitution?
These guys are too funny. They are STILL absolutely clueless that they lost! CLUELESS. They simply cannot come to grips with REALITY. Bwahahahhahahahah.
It's like they have post traumatic stress syndrome. I mean, walk up behind these people and yell "Bush" and watch them fall to the floor, curl up in a fetal position, and whimper about some election being stolen from them. On...my...gosh.
By the way, I do NOT believe the election was "stolen".

The Face Shop Real Nature Red Ginseng Mask Review
One of the souvenir suggestions from South Korea is Ginseng especially Red Ginseng. It is highly nutritious and works wonders for skin. I could not bring myself to consume Ginseng directly so to reap its benefits, I chose a face mask sheet from The Face Shop that contains Red Ginseng extracts. I used The Face Shop Real Nature Red Ginseng mask recently so here is the review for you!
Product: The Face Shop Real Nature Mask Red Ginseng
Claim: A highly nourishing & energizing mask sheet containing extract of Korean red ginseng rich in saponin, a supplement to care for tired skin.
Price: 1000 KRW (~ 1$) | Buy Online
- Wash face and apply toner.
- Pull out the mask and carefully place it on the face.
- Remove after 10-12 minutes and tap lightly to absorb the remaining essence into the skin.
Price: 1000 KRW
You may find my The Face Shop mask comparison video helpful:
After using the Bamboo face mask, I was afraid that I was not going to like the red ginseng face mask either. Fortunately, this one was way better than the bamboo one and equally good as the blueberry face mask.
This face mask is different from all of the Real Nature masks. It contains Cocoa extract in addition to the Japanese White Birch and Yellow Dock extracts. The color of the mask sheet is also a little bit brown because of the color of the essence in the mask sheet (which I think is because of the red ginseng).
This product is also not very scented and it is not overpowering (or bad like the bamboo one). I felt like my skin was very soft in the morning and it stayed hydrated even after a couple of days. The company also suggests to use these face masks 2-3 times a week so I think the major effect of the mask lasts for 2-3 days only. For reaping the actual benefits, probably buy a pack of Red Ginseng masks to use it regularly!
Key points:
1. The fragrance is listed last in the ingredients list and I do think the mask is not heavily perfumed which is always a plus in my eyes for skincare.
2. Other important ingredients: Trehalose, Phaseolus Radiatus Extract (Mung bean), Betula Platyphylla Japonica Bark Extract (Japanese White Birch), Rumex Crispus Root extract (Curly/yellow dock), Theobroma Cacao Extract (Cocoa)
3. The Red Ginseng extract is seventh in the Ingredient list (after Aqua, Glycerin and Butylene Glycol, alcohol (denat.), trehalose, sodium hyaluronate). This face mask sheet contains parabens, fragrance
I have been applying face masks (specifically the Face Shop face masks from my 'collection') every 3 days and my skin is way softer and moisturized than it was last year this time (it still gets a bit dry but not as bad as last year)

I would suggest this face mask to people with normal to dry skin. It is a hydrating face mask and works really well in winter. I use sparingly face masks in summer (once a week or less) so I cannot comment on how effective or useful these are in summer but for the rest of the year especially winter they work well. Till now, I have really loved The Face Shop Mango Seed face mask, The Face Shop Blueberry Real nature Mask and The Face Shop Red Ginseng real nature face mask!
