Cops tweet about cuffed twits who incited violence via Twitter
Police and thieves in the social network streets
As the Prime Minister condemned social networks for being "used for ill" this morning, police forces across the country sent a steady stream of tweets confirming arrests connected with inciting violence via the likes of Twitter and Facebook.
"Three people have been arrested on suspicion of using Twitter and Blackberry Messenger to incite violent disorder..." tweeted Hampshire police earlier today.
Hampshire's Twitter feed has done a good job of reducing fears of imminent melt-down and repeatedly requested people not use the service to pass on rumour. Top tweets included: "There have been NO riots/looting in #Southampton or anywhere across #Hants. Our advice is to keep calm and carry on as normal." and the almost maternal: "Hi Gemmie, can you contact HantsPolice on 101 pls? You're not in any trouble. It's regarding your tweet about adlershotFC. Thanks!".
And, although rioting has so far been an England-only affair, police have reportedly been rounding up individuals who have taken to social networks to encourage looting and thuggery in Wales.
Chief Superintendent Josh Jones of the South Wales police force said:
"Monitoring of social networking sites has continued and despite some efforts to generate disorder in our communities these have failed. Anyone who is found to incite criminal activity will be traced and dealt with by the police."
Cops across England have been using Twitter to warn people against false alerts and rumours that circulated on the micro-blogging site at the height of the troubles.
"We have seen the benefits of social media being used responsibly. We thank the community for their ongoing support," said West Midlands chief super Phil Kay a few hours before Cameron moaned about the networks.
"We are aware of rumours circulating on social networks which are untrue, unhelpful and intended to increase tension between communities," said Scotland Yard this afternoon.
"Those involved in the violent disorder and thefts over the past few days are not from any single race, religion or community group. This is unnecessary and we urge people to stop using recent events as an opportunity to cause unrest."
Meanwhile the government's e-petitions site had another crap day. It was only available intermittently and no new petitions appeared today - suggesting a stunning lack of interest or technical problems.
The call for: "Convicted London rioters should loose all benefits." had received 97,541 votes at the time of writing.
If the site stays available for another two hours it will easily pass the 100,000 vote barrier. ®

* Company History - 'They Built London' *
They Built London is a comprehensive history of the Worshipful Company of Tylers & Bricklayers. The book was researched and written by Dr Penelope Hunting and published in February 2016 to mark the 600th anniversary of the Company's first recorded Master, Thomas White, in 1416, although records show that there was a Guild or Misterie representing the crafts well before that date. The Company's first Charter was granted by Elizabeth I in 1568 and a City Ordinance of 1570 defined the Company's area of control as being within a radius of 15 miles of the City of London. The Company initially flourished with bricks and tiles being used in place of timber and thatch. The Great Fire of 1666 led to a Royal Proclamation requiring the use of these more fire resistant materials. The rebuilding programme was beyond the capacity of Company members, craftsmen flocked to the City of London from elsewhere and the monopoly and power of the Company was broken. Succeeding years saw a continuing decline in the influence of the Company and its fortunes. The Livery Hall was retained until the end of the 19th century and almshouses in Islington until the second half of the 20th century. Despite these setbacks the Company has continued to thrive and plays an active part in support of the City and its institutions as well as its crafts.
They Built London tells the story of the Tylers & Bricklayers Livery Company from its origins more than 600 years ago to the present day. Richly illustrated with more than 100 colour photographs, "They Built London" is a fascinating book for anyone interested in the evolution and role of a Livery Company playing a vital part in the development and life of the City.
They Built London costs £50, and copies can be ordered from the Clerk of the Worshipful Company of Tylers and Bricklayers.

Just south of Siena is the intriguing and distinctive semi-desert landscape of the Crete, which break up the enchanting green landscape of this part of Tuscany. The Crete are geographical features of clay, harsh and wild, difficult to cultivate by anyone who is not an expert and who doesn't respect the laws of nature. This area was made famous by the Battle of Montaperti between the Florentines and the Sienese in 1260, which took place here. Not far away there is source of the Borra spring, which is marked by a block of travertine. These sulphurous waters are said to have been used by the Romans for their undoubted therapeutic properties. These waters, together with the travertine quarry, are the principal economic resource of Rapolano Terme.
It is also well-worth making a visit to the atmospheric complex of the Abbazia di Monte Oliveto Maggiore, which was founded in 1313 by Giovanni Tolomei; surrounded by centuries-old cypresses, it dominates the landscape of the Crete. Besides the many works of art there, the abbey also has a library of forty thousand antique books, testimony to the cultural and artistic importance of the abbey between the 15th and the 16th century. The small town of Asciano, in the heart of the Crete, still has many of its old medieval palaces and various towers, including the guard towers of the outer walls, which now lie inside the modern-day town. Asciano has many unusual mixed Romanesque and Gothic architectural forms which are of considerable interest.

What is the literary scene in russia like today?
In the past, the state made sure that life was difficult for writers in Russia. However, in contrast to journalists, Russian writers are today freer to write about what they want. Natasha Perova, editor of the literary magazine Glas explains how the fear of commercialism and genre literature are often misleading if one wants to understand what is happening in the Russian literature of today.
Russians have traditionally had great reverence for their writers. And it's not entirely a thing of the past—after all, people in their middle age, who were raised on the "great Russian literature", like myself, are still alive, and many young people feel much the same way, but the situation regarding literature and serious arts is tending in a Western direction, where writers know their modest place in society. Our writers nowadays also try to entertain rather than to teach. Like elsewhere, the majority of people today prefer flashy shows, exciting games, and light fiction. Serious ideas have to be attractively packaged. And, of course, there is the addictive Internet with its huge variety of diversions, including reading. (It would seem that the length of online texts is irrelevant but people's attention span keeps shrinking and even online magazines accept stories of only a few pages, preferably optimistic and cheerful: no doom and gloom, please.) Publishers try to persuade authors that they should adapt their writing to people's tastes because this is where their income comes from. Naturally this approach undermines the authors' self-respect and any feeling of self-importance.
For the past three years Glas has been publishing mainly books by authors under 30, winners of the Debut Prize, so I have had a chance to learn much about this generation. They don't aspire to be "engineers of people's souls," to quote Stalin, nor do they feel responsible for their country's fate, like the 19th century intelligentsia. Young authors are sober-minded and rather pragmatic, even the romantics among them. Their formative years coincided with the period of economic dislocation and political chaos in the 1990s, which they perceived as the norm. Where I would be shocked and frustrated, they remain cool and detached, not expecting the world to be perfect. The world in turn has little need for their stories unless they are adapted for the screen or TV serials.
However, they have a sharp eye for detail and great literary abilities that enable them to paint graphic pictures of the real Russia, mostly distant places at the back of beyond, of which we know hardly anything. Glas has published some of these writings in English translation.
In the past, the state made life hard for writers in Russia (and this is still not entirely a thing of the past). Censorship and dissent used to split the writing profession and influenced their writing in one way or another—you were either pro- or anti-Soviet. If you practiced "art for art's sake," you were anti-Soviet anyway. When censorship was lifted in the early 1990s and torrents of formerly banned books poured into bookshops, the newly-written works were "post-Soviet" in spirit, then "post-post-Soviet," but they still couldn't get away from the Soviet past. Only today's 20- and 30-year-olds are finally writing about here and now while the Soviet theme for them is purely historical, like the times of Peter the Great or Ivan the Terrible.
The authorities have finally realized how harmless intellectuals really are and leave them alone. Now they can say whatever they like and let off steam as much as they want, while the authorities couldn't care less about their dissent as long as they are published in small print runs, which is usually the case. Writers yearned for freedom but when it was finally granted to them, they found that nobody cared very much about their brave ideas. The state can still make trouble for writers (and there are quite a few instances of this) but clever writers simply take the opportunity to use trouble as publicity.
During the 1990s, we witnessed the collapse of the morally engaged tradition of Russian literature. Fantasy, SF, the grotesque and nihilism became dominant. And yet we still have excellent serious authors who do their own thing, without heeding trends—they are trend-setters themselves. Fantasy, grotesque, detective novels, etc., are only literary forms, which they fill with great ideas and images. Suffice to recall that Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita is a fantasy and Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment is a detective novel.
The contemporary literary scene is highly varied. The authorities let it be; they only worry about investigative journalists who may suddenly discover something not intended for their eyes and ears. Then things get serious – Politkovskaya is one example.
Readers abroad often say that Russia doesn't seem to have produced any "great novels" addressing the big issues of the last two decades, which were so rich in consequential events. Readers should be reminded that literature is not journalism which is supposed to run hot on the heels of events. Writers need to digest a historical period and analyze social changes. This is why, during the most violent period of social upheaval, writers were still trying to come to grips with their Soviet past. Contemporary novels are seldom translated (for various reasons) but they exist. Quite a few major novels have been published which deal with the perestroika, the onset of wild capitalism with its gang wars, and ordinary people's failed attempts to start their own businesses and generally survive. Suffice to mention Olga Slavnikova's definitive novel 2017, a summary of the last two decades of Russia's life (published in Swedish by Ersatz), and her latest novel Light Head, which is about even more recent times (the resurrection of the secret service, terrorism, legions of petty business managers, and human relationships damaged by the cruel state machine, which is just as indifferent to the little man now as always has been the case in Russia.) Or we can recall Alexander Terekhov's major novel The Stone Bridge, with two epochs juxtaposed as the protagonist investigates a crime committed in 1943 while chasing the survivors in present time and coming into contact with various aspects of the new order. Dmitry Bykov writes about Russia's near future: in Living Souls, new sources of energy have been discovered in the West and no one needs Russian oil anymore, putting Russia on the brink of disaster and unleashing a civil war. In her novel of social protest, The Little Man, Liza Alexandrova-Zorina provides a frightening vision of Russia, depicting a provincial town controlled by the mafia with the approval of corrupt authorities and a submissive population.
Some people see a connection between political oppression and great art, believing that art is stimulated by terror. I disagree emphatically. A little hunger may stimulate an artist but a prolonged hunger will simply kill him. Thousands of talented authors and artists perished in the gulags and the best of Russian thinkers were exterminated or expelled from the country, reducing Russia's cultural level dramatically. Oppression has always existed everywhere and will always be part of our lives. In sensible quantities, it may indeed be stimulating—some artists probably need to be disciplined occasionally, but if you live in a prison, you'll simply dry up or go mad rather than be inspired to create a work of art.
In our times of market economy, pulp fiction has won over literary fiction in Russia, quite simply pushing it to the margins. If Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky tried offering their novels to commercial publishers today, they would have a hard time getting them published—they'd probably be rejected on grounds that their novels are too long and dense, too verbose, slow-moving, and serious. Many writers of literary fiction are heading for the middle market, turning out novels by numbers. In the early 1990s, they were still embarrassed to write under their own names and used pseudonyms. But now it's even become fashionable among the intellectual elite to acknowledge pop culture and work within popular genres.
The example of Victor Pelevin is both typical and exceptional: he was one of the first to declare his intention to embrace genre forms and win broader appeal (which seemed highly improbable to me at the time). He was one of the very few, however, who never sacrificed any of his literary merit and, as a result, his books are enjoyed by many different categories of readers, each perceiving the text at their own level. Very few of the new writers who followed his example have managed to keep this balance—either the quality of their writing has suffered or they never reached the mass market anyway.
Boris Akunin is another highly symptomatic figure—a highbrow intellectual who made a conscious decision to write for the mass market (although under a pen name) and has had a great success precisely because, as an extremely intelligent person and a good psychologist, he knew how to impress simple minds. His example has been followed, with varying success, by many other bright young authors.
Since literary fiction has to co-exist with mass-market culture, young writers keep trying to bridge the gap, increasingly employing popular literary forms and resorting to all sorts of self-promotion devices, of which scandal has become the most popular and effective means of catching the public eye. When Vladimir Sorokin, our Russian Marquis de Sade, was accused of disseminating pornography and his books were theatrically thrown into a cardboard toilet outside the Bolshoi Theatre, the scandal only served to enhance Sorokin's popularity, so much so that his publisher just tried to fan it out as much as possible.
The literary process is now organized as show business, with flashy presentations and contests, ratings, quizzes, and so on. Serious authors conduct TV shows and even advertise consumer goods.
Western influence on young Russian authors is quite obvious today. But this mostly concerns the form and method rather than the deeper things. Since authors look at the Russian condition and use local material, their works remain uniquely Russian in spirit and style. It should be mentioned that the celebrated 19th century Russian classics used the classical French novel as their model and that detracted nothing from their originality and importance.
Only in the last decade have big publishers, very cautiously, started launching literary fiction series in the hope that some of the works will make it into wide distribution and bring profit. This has, indeed, happened with Pelevin and Lyudmila Ulitskaya, to name just two, who are probably the best known in the West today.
Women, as more practical creatures, are particularly active in mass-market publishing, although in Soviet times, women's names, and gender problems as such, were practically absent in Russian literature. The current profusion of successful female names in both pulp and literary fiction is a new feature of the current literary scene.
State support for culture came to an end in the late 1980s, together with ideological censorship. This gave writers freedom of expression, but public interest was already irrevocably diverted toward mass culture. Serious literature lost its prestige. In the meantime, the 1990s produced a rich and varied culture. In many aspects, this post-censorship period had much in common with the 1920s—the country was again in the throes of violent change, overthrowing its former idols, questioning established values, and trying on new ideas for size. All sorts of productive as well as weird theories and movements sprouted up. Post-modernism co-existed with every brand of realism: magic, dirty, surrealistic. Writers set up their own publishing houses, bookshops, and literary clubs to reach their readers and somehow make a living in the absence of public interest in new writing. Literary fiction was published in tiny editions. People were busy catching up on their education devouring formerly banned books. The literary and artistic scene was active as never before, but faced such variety that both the critics and the public felt disoriented.
Although some of the above is still going on, I'm using the past tense here, because this period is over and the once endangered freedom of self-expression has moved to the Internet, where new writing thrives and feels safe, so far.

I was going to wait to publish this post until after I'd had time to read it through. But given that I just accidentally posted it, freaked out, made it private, I'm realizing that folks who got it through email will be able to read the entire thing anyway. SO. Here ya go. With a temporary title that obviously will be the permanent title – my ramblings and thoughts regarding Ebony Wilkerson, tragically better known as the mom in Daytona who drove her minivan into the sea.
The public defender's office said there was a reason she beat her stomach. "She {is} being held in seclusion naked in her cell," said Craig Byer.
Public defender James Purdey at first asked for Monday's hearing to get Wilkerson's 1.2 million bond reduced.
Purdey instead asked his client be transferred from the Volusia County Branch Jail to a psychiatric ward for longer than a typical Baker Act hold, so she can get mental pre-natal care.
The judge did not rule on the request to move Wilkerson because the judge said it's something that hasn't been done before. (Source)
According to the Ebony Wilkerson narrative we have thus far, she drove to Central Florida from South Carolina to escape an abusive partner. Her family struggled to get her help but she signed herself out of the hospital and somehow managed to get the keys to the minivan and drive it and all of her children into the ocean despite the family's efforts to hide the keys from her.
This week, we are told she has been held naked, in seclusion at the local jail and started punching her stomach, causing her defenders to push for her to be moved to a psychiatric ward for "mental pre-natal care."
What the hell is wrong with this picture?
From an emotional and advocate standpoint, a lot.
From a logical standpoint, I can understand why these measures may need to be taken, particularly if Ebony has been suicidal. Of course you don't want to give her anything that she could possibly harm herself with but there has to be a way to do that without completely stripping her down and removing all sense of dignity, something she was more than likely running low on if indeed she was escaping an abusive relationship.
The judge's reluctance to move her may also be grounded in logic as well. Perhaps she did not feel she had enough facts to justify setting a precedence with Ebony's case. Or perhaps the Volusia County Jail has the capability to be considered as "clinically appropriate" (as is required of examination/treatment in the Baker Act) and therefore the judge did not see moving her as a necessity. Or perhaps there simply wasn't anywhere to move her to which offered the same level of security the judge felt Ebony requires at the moment.
But when examined from an emotional and advocate point of view, this is absolutely heartbreaking.
A pregnant mother, escaping an alleged abusive relationship, drives her kids into the ocean despite attempts to help her. To me, this screams of absolute desperation. This is beyond sanity. It's more than a call for help. This type of behaviour requires action.
But is what Volusia County doing enough?
How do we best handle this type of situation in this day and age?
It's like I tell my kids and my partner – we can't fix a problem unless we know about it. Unfortunately, women (and men especially) who are in abusive relationships are often quiet about their situations until it's almost too late, and some until it is too late. Why? Because they are often threatened by the perpetrator that if they don't remain silent, there will be repercussions.
Silence is also a hallmark of Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders for multiple reasons. Society believes we should be happy when pregnant or in the throes of new parenthood. Thing is, mood disorders have been happening since the dawn of time. Our responses to them over the centuries have varied but even early on, a few folks got it right. Take Asclepiades, for example. According to Thomas Millons Masters Of The Mind, he "argued against dark cells and dungeons for the mentally ill…thought patients should be in settings that were well lit and comfortable." Asclepiades also proposed that "biological and chemically based treatment would be beneficial" in addition to dividing conditions into acute versus chronic and also distinguished between hallucinations, delusions, and illusions.
The main point of Asclepiades is that even in the early ages (171-110BC, by the way), someone recognized that locking away the mentally ill in dark, dank places was NOT the way to go.
Arataeus believed the "soul was the basis of psychic disturbances" and "mental disorders were exaggerated normal processes". (Millon)
Then there's Soranus who posited "consider(ing) culture as a factor in both investigating and treating mental patient." (Millon, Masters Of The Mind). He also advocated for decent and kind treatment of the mentally ill, asking "his peers to remember who was ill; physicians should not view their patients as disagreeable persons who offended their self-image." (Millon) It seems to this outside observer that Volusia County is not doing that in Ebony's case.
Does being an abused woman or a woman at the hands of a Perinatal Mood Disorder excuse the type of behaviour Ebony Wilkerson has exhibited? No. But both are mitigating factors which led to her behaviour and should absolutely be taken into consideration as her case proceeds.
I've written extensively about Postpartum Depression as a defense. Cases like these are both fascinating and heartbreaking because all at once, those of us who have experienced a Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorder, see fractions of ourselves in the women who make headlines. We collectively gasp and think, my God, what if I had given into all those thoughts racing through my head? I could be her. I could be Ebony. I could be Miriam, I could be Andrea, I could be Otty.
We shudder because we were there, with them, in the dark, in the hell, holding their hands and they fell as we watch in horror. The way their fall is paraded in front of society scares the crap out of us and drives many to silence. Is this healthy for society? Yes and no. We should be outraged when children are subjected to death (or the threat thereof) at the hands of their parents. But at the same time, we need to take steps to prevent this type of situation from occurring in the first place.
How do we do that when every single case, every single situation from mother to mother and from birth to birth is different? How do we catch a falling mother if we don't know she is falling?
Even if we start by putting measures in place to check for signs of falling, we will still fail if the mother doesn't admit to having a problem or, as in Ebony's case, refuses help (for whatever reasons – cultural stigma, fear, etc) which is offered to her because she is far past the breaking point and sees death as the only way out. Do we just throw our hands up in the air and let her do what she may? No. So what do we do then?
I don't know.
What I do know is this:
- Mothers (and fathers) do not deserve to be alone in this battle
- Mothers (and fathers) deserve emotional support
- Mothers and fathers need a village
- Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders are not deserving of whispers, they require shouts
- We need to speak up, every single time, not just when there is a crisis
- Accept those who are hurting with open arms and provide a safe space for them to fall apart
- Not judge those who have/are struggling so harshly
So what can we do to improve the situation for struggling parents across the globe with the very real (and often co-occurring) issue of domestic abuse/violence and Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders?
- Make it okay to reach out for help and ditch the supermom/superwoman/superman/superdad façade
- Initiate requirements for ALL health professionals who may come in contact with an expecting or new mother to be well-versed in the ins and outs of a Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders (this includes pediatricians, OBGYN's, GP's, Family Doctors, IBCLC's, doulas, midwives, naturopaths, you get my point…)
- Create local, state, and national referral networks which incorporate above said training on a regular basis
- Create networks of parents willing to mentor other parents through these tough situations and make it easy to access across the board
Are these solutions going to fix our current problem? No. But they're a start and sadly, most of it revolves around a tradition which our current technologically advanced society has strayed greatly from – the tight knit expanded family. It takes a village to raise a child but it also takes a village to raise a mother to raise a child right. In my post "On Not Wanting To," I state the following:
Our village is in peril. Our village? FELL THE FUCK APART AND NO ONE GIVES A DAMN.
In America, we have a pitiful excuse for maternity leave. We are bombarded by stories of celebs who gave birth and look AHMAZING in less than three weeks after giving birth. We are insanely comparing ourselves to women who are a) genetically blessed and b) have crazy access to things like trainers, nutritionists, nannies… and then there are the way we compare ourselves to each other. Stupid idiotic milestones of when we went back to work, how much we manage to get done every day, pushing ourselves to be better than the next mom and still have it all pulled together.
It's no wonder we are screaming out for help and some of us are doing so through extreme measures.
Let's keep the "if I were her, I would" out of the conversation. We do not know what she's going through. Even if we've been through hell ourselves, we do not know *her* hell nor should we take her story as one which portends the downfall of ALL women who struggle with domestic violence/abuse and a Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorder. Instead, reach out to mothers, to fathers, let them know it is okay to reach out for help. For that matter, teach it to your kids so that when they get older they don't feel as if reaching for help is in essence, failure to handle something on their own. Yes, independence is a grand thing but there is a time and a place to lean on someone else. Not to lean in, but to lean on, sometimes for dear life.
Our village has forgotten how to do this very simple yet necessary human act. We are now expected to be everything to everyone and dear GOD help us if we are not. Should we assume something is wrong with every mother? No. But instead of oohing and ahhing at her baby, ask how she's doing. Ask how Dad is doing. Do not dismiss their very real role in their new situation. By acknowledging them, you acknowledge their existence and empower them to express their feelings. And that, my friends, is possibly one of the most powerful things we can ever do for a new parent.
Will it keep more pregnant women from being held in seclusion, naked in a prison cell, after they've attempted to kill their older children and themselves? Not all of them, no. But it's a start.
An even better start would be to continue educating people about Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders, including those in the law enforcement and legal arena. I realize they are bound by the courts and must adhere to the law but if they had a better understanding of the facts behind Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders, perhaps, at least, the treatment of mothers imprisoned for crimes committed whilst experience these disorders would stand a chance of improving.
In the meantime, I genuinely hope that Ebony Wilkerson receives the help she so desperately needs as she awaits trial for her actions on the fateful day she drove her minivan into the sea. We're watching, Volusia County. Don't fail us more than you already have failed Ebony.

Van Halen Producer Ted Templeman Was 'Wrong' About 'Jump'
Longtime Van Halen producer Ted Templeman stuck to his guns about not being a fan of the band's classic song "Jump," though he admitted his assessment of the song was wrong.
After working on the band's first six albums, Templeman remained close friends with guitarist Eddie Van Halen, who died from cancer on Oct. 6 at 65.
Released in late 1983, "Jump" prominently featured a synthesizer, which was controversial among fans because the band was best known for Eddie Van Halen's searing guitar performances. But the song reached No. 1, snagged a Grammy nomination and is regarded as one of Van Halen's best works and one of the most influential songs in rock history.
"The only falling out we ever had was over 'Jump,' because I didn't - and I don't - like it," Templeman told Rolling Stone in a recent interview. "It's stupid because I produced it, but the keyboards just hit me as wrong. He would call me up in the middle of the night and say, 'Ted, you've got to hear this. I'm gonna come and get you.' And he drove down in his Porsche to Century City and picked me up at three in the morning and drove me up there: 'Listen to this.' And they had 'Jump' down."
Watch Van Halen's 'Jump' Video
The producer remembered that the song "did work" and "sounded great"; the next morning, he instructed singer David Lee Roth to write lyrics. "We sat in the back of his Mercury," he recalled. "He was writing this song, and I said, 'That's terrible.' … I said, 'That bothers me. Don't say "jump." It sounds like you're encouraging somebody to commit suicide.' He said, 'Nah, nah. I got this thing nailed. It's got a double entendre.' And he did. It meant 'Take a chance,' but it also meant he was gonna get this girl."
Still, Templeman "wasn't wild" about the keyboard element. "I was wrong because it was No. 1, but I don't even listen to it," he said. "To me, they were a heavy metal fucking band that could do pop tunes - that's what I liked about 'em. But that took it into another arena. It reminded me of those bands that play in arenas, and then the fucking thing ended up getting played at every arena before a game. But look, I was wrong."
Reflecting on Eddie's talent, the producer said: "He knew his way around music. That's why his solos and the songs that he and Dave wrote hold up. He wrote the chord changes as a songwriter. I think his impact is that people subconsciously hear melodic solos and people are attracted by that. … I think Ed's impact is he brought pop stuff into his music. Everybody likes that. No matter how much you like other kinds of music, if you hear a real good pop tune, it just gets you."

Newswise — (NEW YORK –March 20, 2014)—In recognition of a generous $10 million gift to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, made by benefactors Patty and Jay Baker, school leadership today announced the formation of 'The Patty and Jay Baker National Palliative Care Center at Mount Sinai.' The new Center will support public policy, education, training, national outreach, and research aimed at improving access to quality palliative care for all seriously ill Americans and their families, by uniting the existing National Palliative Care Research Center (NPCRC) and the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC).
"The mission of the Center is to ensure that all patients living with serious illness and their families understand the role of palliative care in improving quality of life and request it; that all clinicians have the knowledge and skills to provide palliative care; and that all healthcare institutions are equipped to deliver it," said R. Sean Morrison, MD, Co-Director of The Patty and Jay Baker National Palliative Care Center at Mount Sinai and Director of the Lilian and Benjamin Hertzberg Palliative Care Institute and the National Palliative Care Research Center at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
"The gift will transform care of the nation's most vulnerable patients and families. Palliative care is a new but rapidly growing field that is proven to improve quality of life and help patients and families get the information and support they need over the many year course of an illness," said Diane E. Meier, MD, Co-Director of the Patty and Jay Baker National Palliative Care Center and Director of the Center to Advance Palliative Care at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "We will be able to bring this innovation fully to scale thanks to the Bakers' generosity and insight. CAPC and NPCRC together have led the growth in access to quality palliative care in the United States. The donation will also help to increase the public's awareness about the important role of palliative care in relieving worry and distress for people of all ages and at any stage of illness. It is important that patients and caregivers are aware of the power and control they have to request palliative care support for themselves and their loved ones."
While palliative care is an established medical subspecialty that has been shown to improve quality of care and quality of life for patients and families facing serious illness, research conducted in 2011 by Public Opinion Strategies in Washington, DC, concluded that three out of four Americans had minimal to no knowledge of palliative care and its benefits. Furthermore, the poll revealed that over 90 percent of Americans would want the added layer of support that palliative care provides for themselves and their loved ones if they were seriously ill.
"Palliative care takes the larger view of caring for patients by looking at their entire spectrum of needs," said Patty Baker, a noted Broadway theater producer and philanthropist. "It goes beyond seeing the patient through the prism of illness. One of the many goals of palliative care is to help patients remain safely and securely in their own homes and avoid repeated trips to the hospital, which we wholeheartedly support."
"We have an ethical obligation to ensure that all aspects of the suffering of patients and families are addressed," said Jay H. Baker, former President of the Kohl's Corporation. "Patty and I have a personal connection to this issue. The care and compassion provided to my sister at Mount Sinai made all the difference in her survival and quality of life and we are so grateful. We strongly believe that everyone should have easy access to palliative care services on the national level."
"Palliative care programs focus on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of serious illness," said Kenneth L. Davis, MD, CEO and President of the Mount Sinai Health System. "Not only has palliative care improved the quality of life and extended life for many patients, because expert palliative care helps patients and families avoid preventable crises, it also has the potential to lead to significant cost savings for our nation's health care system."
As the Director of CAPC, Dr. Meier has worked to increase the number and quality of palliative care programs in the United States. Under her leadership, the number of palliative care programs in U.S. hospitals has more than tripled in the last 10 years. She was elected to the Institute of Medicine this year, named one of 20 People Who Make Healthcare Better in the U.S. by HealthLeaders Media 2010 and received a MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Award in September of 2008. She has over 100 peer reviewed publications in the medical literature and is the author of Palliative Care: Transforming the Care of Serious Illness, published by Jossey in 2010.
As the Director of NPCRC, Dr. Morrison's work has focused on improving the knowledge base of palliative care so that seriously ill patients and their families receive the quality of care that they deserve. He has received over $45 million dollars in research funding and published over 150 research articles. He is the former President of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine and has received lifetime achievement in research awards from both the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine and the American Geriatrics Society. He has co-edited two of the leading textbooks in palliative medicine.
About the Center to Advance Palliative CareCAPC is a national organization dedicated to increasing the availability of quality palliative care services for all people facing serious illness. The Center provides health care professionals with the tools, training, and technical assistance necessary to start and sustain palliative care programs in hospitals and other health care settings.

The plan was to be asleep by 9 and be up at 5am to write.
I hadn't figured on the people who like to roam hotel corridors at all hours and talk about boring things RATHER LOUDLY. Oh, and SLAM DOORS. They woke me up so many times I lost count. (But thanks to several trusty alarms, I got up on time and jumped right back into the pages.)
They weren't the only busy creatures last night. There is a baby in the room next to me. The kind of baby who is feeling a little stressed by the hotel and the LOUD PEOPLE and the price of gas and lack of affordable health care and itch of a damp diaper. The baby cried a lot. And some loving person talked to her and held her and played the flute to calm her down. So it was an interesting night's sleep. And it gave me this writing prompt.
Imagine you are in a hotel room, alone. You can't sleep because of the snatches of conversation and activity you hear in the hall and in the rooms next to yours, above you and below you. You find yourself looking out the peep hole, and pressing your ears to the walls for more details. (Don't press your ears to the floor. The carpet looks a little skeevey.) Write down what you hear, and what you imagine is going on. Bonus points: turn your raw material into a poem or a short story.

The Vatican spent over $2.1 million on lobbying the U.S. government to block a bill that would have reformed child-sex laws in 2015.
The Catholic Conference, headed by Timothy Cardinal Dolan, used Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker, Patricia Lynch & Associates, Hank Sheinkopf, and Mark Behan Communications to lobby against the Child Victims Act.

Nydailynews.com reports: Filings show the lobbyists were retained, in part, to work on issues associated with "statute of limitations" and "timelines for commencing certain civil actions related to sex offenses." Other issues included parochial school funding and investment tax credits.
"They are willing to spend limitless money in order to basically keep bad guys from being accountable for their actions," said Melanie Blow, chief operations officer of the Stop Abuse Campaign. "I think they're doing it because they don't want to have to pay out settlements."
Added Kathryn Robb, an advocate and survivor who says she was abused by her brother as a 9-year-old: "If they need to spend that much money on lobbying, clearly, then, they have some pretty big secrets to hide."
While a far cry from the millions in lobbying top special interests spend in Albany each year, advocates for child sex abuse survivors say the $2.1 million spent likely represents a worthwhile investment to the Catholic Conference if it can continue to block legislation that would eliminate the statute of limitations on child sex abuse civil cases and open a one-year window to bring lawsuits for victims who can no longer sue under current law.
The Catholic Conference has argued that opening a one-year window to revive old cases could ultimately bankrupt the Church.
The firms the Catholic Conference chose is also telling.
Wilson Elser has long been Albany's biggest lobbying firm. The firm represented the Catholic Conference from at least 2007 through the end of 2015 and was paid more than $1 million during that time, according to online filings with the state Joint Commission on Public Ethics.
After several key people either left the firm or reduced their responsibilities, the Church did not renew the contract with Wilson Elser for 2016, sources said.
Wilson Elser, which was being paid $10,000 a month by the Catholic Conference, had no comment.
In its place, state records show, the Catholic Conference hired another prominent firm, Greenberg Traurig, which it is paying $6,000-a-month. The lobbyist from the firm representing the Church is Michael Murphy, who used to be an assistant counsel for the Senate Republicans.
The Senate GOP opposes the one-year "lookback" window that Democrats are calling for.
The Catholic Church, some Orthodox Jewish groups, and other private entities oppose legislation by Assemblywoman Margaret Markey (D-Queens) and Sen. Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan) that would eliminate the time limit that prohibits adults who were victimized as children from bringing civil cases after their 23rd birthdays.
Another top firm, Patricia Lynch & Associates, whose namesake had close ties to now disgraced Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, was hired by the Catholic Conference in 2009. Lynch's firm for many years was ranked in the top 3 of well-paid lobbyists.
Lynch's hiring by the Catholic Conference came after the Assembly passed different versions of the Child Victims Act four times from 2006 to 2008. The measure never came up again for a vote after Lynch was hired.
"Once Ms. Lynch lobbied for the Catholic Conference, Mr. Silver's support for our bill ended, and the bill did not come out of the Assembly's Codes Committee … which as speaker, he controlled," John Aretakis, a former lawyer and an advocate for victims of clergy sex abuse, wrote in a scathing letter recently to a judge handling Silver's recent criminal sentencing.
State lobbying records show the firm's contract with the Catholic Conference was terminated earlier this year, not long after Lynch was outed in court papers as having had an affair with Silver.
Silver was sentenced earlier this month to 12 years in prison after his conviction on federal corruption charges.
Lynch, whose firm was being paid $7,500-a-month, would only say her contract with the Catholic Conference was ended by "mutual consent."
Sheinkopf, meanwhile, has had close ties with Gov. Cuomo, the former leadership of the Senate Democrats when they were in control of the chamber, and even the Senate Republicans.
Like the others who were hired by the Catholic Conference, he would not discuss the specifics about what he does for the $5,000-a-month he is being paid.
"They like me," he said. "They think I'm smart."
In an email, Catholic Conference spokesman Dennis Poust wouldn't comment directly on his organization's lobbying efforts. He also would not comment on the reasoning behind why specific lobbying firms were chosen.
"The Catholic Conference lobbies on many issues, from assisted suicide to farm worker rights to school choice to criminal justice reform," Poust said.
He said the conference's lobbying activity is in full compliance with the law and is reported, as required, to the state Joint Commission on Public Ethics.
"As such it is all a matter of public record," Poust said. "We have no further comment beyond that."

We Are Who We Are…Or Are We?
One of the things people have not been able to understand, both morally and biologically, is what drives criminal behavior. When people hear about shootings on the news, such as the one in Colorado at the movie premier of The Dark Night Rises, a question that commonly runs through people's minds, is "Why on earth would someone do that?" People seem to ask this question with the assumption that the person is at fault for what they have done. However, can we certainly blame the individual for what they did? David Eagleman, author of Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain and neuroscientist at Baylor College of Medicine, attempts to unveil the mysteries that surround this question.
In the United States, people are innocent until proven guilty. Often, it seems as though a person's fate is predicated on the motives and intentions behind the criminal act. At first glance, it is easy to blame someone like The Dark Night Rises shooter for his actions. People would say, "Of course he knew what he was doing." A criminal is generally aware of the differences between right and wrong; however, it is possible that he may be influenced by a mental health issue, with an inability to control his impulses. As Eagleman discusses:
"Biological processes describe most or, some would argue, all of what is going on in our brains. Given the steering power of our genetics, childhood experiences, environmental toxins, hormones, neurotransmitters, and neural circuitry, enough of our decisions are beyond our explicit control that we are arguably not the ones in charge."
This statement delves into the question of whether or not culpability is the correct question to be asking in our justice system. Neuroscientists have studied the many different ways in which small changes in the brain can affect our behavior. Drugs, for example, act on receptors in the brain, triggering or inhibiting certain chemicals that often cause behavioral or emotional changes. In another case, damage to or chemical changes in a specific cortical area, such as the orbitofrontal cortex, makes it difficult to realistically interpret a social situation, which can cause rash decisions. These are basic examples of how changes to our brain are significant enough to change how we act.
How can we now apply this neuroscience to the evaluation of criminal behavior? How do we know that all criminals are at fault for their behavior? How do we know that the shooter does not have damage to the brain, and how do we know that the damage did not impact his or her decisions? Asking these questions is crucial for reforming how criminal cases are managed in terms of punishment and treatment. It can be argued that culpability is not the correct question to be asking in courts because it is not necessarily just to blame someone for a crime over which they had no control. As Eagleman states, "The more we discover about the circuitry of the brain, the more the answers tip away from accusations of indulgence, lack of motivation, and poor discipline — and move toward the details of the biology". Neuroscience is an emerging field with research applicable to all of human life. It is the mere beginning of discovering how decisions are made, what drives human behavior, and how much freedom humans have in controlling their own behavior.
