LMC Funding Crisis: UPDATE 5 February 2008
Sadly the LMC has not been reprieved by the Arts Council of England, and our funding will stop from 31 March 2008.
We wrote to the Arts Council answering their points of criticism, but clearly failed to dent their intentions. The ACE were particularly worried about our level of subsidy per audience member and our level of dependence on Arts Council subsidy. The fact is that events like the LMC Festival cost a lot of money, eg just one visa for a visiting musician runs into hundreds of pounds. As for our dependence on their subsidy, ironically enough we are currently presenting the Self-Cancellation event (2-9 February; see more at http://www.l-m-c.org.uk/ ), which is a major collaboration funded largely from non-Arts Council sources. Corporate funding for the LMC's type of work is virtually impossible to achieve – few merchant banks are happy to be associated with this neck of the musical woods – and anyone who has tried to engage commercial sponsorship for a LMC-type event knows how thankless a task that is. The reality is that, for better or worse, the LMC has always been dependent on the Arts Council, but currently our relationship with them is at an all-time low. We sense that no one in the ACE Music Department actually supports the kind of work the LMC does, and that this, rather than the war of statistics, may be the true reason why we are being cut off. This is further evidenced by the fact that no one from the ACE Music Department has attended an LMC event for the past five years, in spite of repeated invitations. The LMC Board of Directors is meeting to discuss our next step. Meanwhile, as our thirty years of work perhaps draws to a close, our spirits are cheered by the letters of support received from across the world.
Once more, please note that Arts Council funding for Resonance FM is NOT under threat.
Our letter to the Arts Council ended thus: "We believe that LMC represents a search for excellence in contemporary music, being an artist-led organisation with innovation and risk-taking at its heart, in line with the spirit of Sir Brian McMaster's recent report."
LMC Funding Crisis: January 2008
The LMC currently finds itself among nearly two hundred arts organisations who are having their Arts Council funding severely cut back. In December we received notice that Arts Council funding, which has always been fundamental to the LMC's survival, will be cut off from 1 April 2008. We have until 15 January to make our case.
The Arts Council has criticised the LMC on several grounds: failure to expand membership or grow audiences, a high average subsidy at LMC events, ACE subsidy representing too high a percentage of LMC turnover, and failure to develop new funding partnerships. We believe that we can answer all these points. Two quick examples:
Resonance FM, the radio station which LMC founded in 2001 and of which it remains the licensee. We think – and the acres of positive press coverage seem to support us – that Resonance FM is the most significant single development in terms of the capital's audience for the arts in the last decade. It has not only developed LMC's core audience (listenership is in excess of 100,000), it has substantially developed the audience for many other organisations.
The Self-Cancellation project in London and Glasgow, February 2007: ten experimental sound artists will explore in public the principles of self-cancellation in sound through conferencing, workshops and performance. A team of musicians prominent in both improvisation and contemporary composition will be led by experimental harpist Rhodri Davies and veteran subversive artist Gustav Metzger. : Our funding partner here is the PRS Foundation, and we are working in collaboration with Arika, Beaconfield, the Scottish Arts Council, and with the Esme Fairbairn Foundation, all on the PRSF joint commissioning project.
So we are writing to the Arts Council in the hope of persuading them to reconsider. We believe the loss of the LMC would mean the removal of a key agency promoting experimental music, and we hope you agree! We have invited artists who have worked with us to send in a few sentences in our support, detailing why the LMC is fantastic. Finally, Arts Council funding for Resonance FM is NOT under threat, and in fact has been increased by 2.7%.

With this in mind, take a close look at each skull, especially, the browridge (the ridge above the eye socket ), mastoid process (part of a temporal bone that extends down behind the ear), and external occipital protuberance which covers the back lower part of the head (it may protrude like a hook in the male, called an inion hook). You may have observed the similar size of the occipital protuberance in these two skulls. Analyzing human skeletal remains often aren't cut and dry. Anthropologists need to examine numerous characteristics by making visual comparisons and taking measurements before forming their conclusions.

BASKET CASESEver since my good friend Patrick Van Puyenbroeck sent me this photo of the scoreboard at Dutch club Telstar FC from their match with Go Ahead Eagles in October, I've become slightly....ok completely obsessed with it. To me, a scoreboard whereby a basket is hoisted up to denote a goal is pretty much as good as it gets. I tried emailing the club to find out more but as yet they have yet to reply. However, hats at a jaunty angle to Telstar FC fan of 20 years Sebastian from Almelo who was able to answer my questions. I interviewed Seb this morning and in an EFW exclusive we can now reveal the whole story. Let it unfold:
I don't think there are nearly enough scoreboards around these days whereby one has to hoist a basket up to denote that a goal has been scored, how did this wonderful idea come into being?
I think the idea came from the scoreboard which Telstar used in the sixties and seventies. At that time the scoreboard was standing behind the stand on the uncovered East stand (Oost tribune).
Since I've been going to Telstar they've used a normal scoreboard and this one was standing behind the South Stand(Zuid tribune)
In 2001 Telstar merged with amateurs from Stormvogels, but in the summer this merger separated and now they're called Telstar again. In the summer of 2008 they moved the temporary stand from the North Stand(Noord tribune) to the South Stand, but behind this stand stood the scoreboard so they required a new one.
I don't know who came up with this idea, but it's a homage to the old one which I don't have a photo of. They made this scoreboard with the basket last summer. The baskets are old fish baskets because IJmuiden is famous for it's fishery and the Tata Steel company (Hoogovens). I believe they where using balls instead of fish baskets in the sixties and seventies.
How many baskets do you have in reserve?
They have got 10 baskets.
What's the highest scoring game you've had at the Schoonenberg Stadion and did it exceed the basket capacity?
The highest score from this season is 4-1 (v Go Ahead Eagles) and 2-3(v Helmond Sport). I don't know how many baskets they had in the sixties, but as I said I believe they where using balls in that period.
Presumably there is a waiting list of eager fans wanting to be the one who hoists the basket up?
During the first matches there was an older man who was hoisting the baskets and latterly it's a Telstar supporter who is in is early thirties.
If we here at European Football Weekends paid a visit to your stadium and (God forbid) it was a 0-0 draw and we didn't see any basket action, is there a nice clubhouse at the stadium where we could console ourselves with a refreshing beer?
Up until last season the supporters had a beautiful club house called Paviljoen Schoonenberg, but since the start of this season it's been given away to the sponsors, because of the building of the new stand. The supporters are using a small place next to the East stand, but after the match most Telstar supporters go right away to the Zeeweg bar, only 3 minutes walk from the stadium. The new stand must be ready at the start of the new season 2009/10 and I don't know if the supporters can return to Paviljoen Schoonenberg because there was a fire a few weeks ago and there was some water and smoke damage and I don't know how serious the damage was.
I hope the supporters can return to Paviljoen Schoonenberg because after the matches the supporters and players came together over there .I don't think this happens at most clubs that players are going to the same place after the match.
I was also sent this photo of a Telstar fan who was entertaining the crowd with his guitar. This man appeared to be a local legend, do you know who he is?
Of course I know this man. He has appeared several times on the Dutch television programme Man bijt hond. His nickname is Jomanda. Jomanda is a Dutch female spiritual person. During the 90's before matches he would hang up posters of Jomanda and he had a bottle of water in his hand and he would scream this bottle is ....(dutch word is instralen) by Jomanda and Jomanda told that you restore to health.
All the supporters where laughing and since that time he has got the nickname Jomanda. Most supporters of other clubs know him as well, he is the most famous Telstar supporter I guess.
Five years ago "jomanda" took part in a Dutch air guitar competition. Of course we supported him with a few lads, but he became third. This man is almost 70 years old.
That's it then chaps. Jomanda is now my new hero and Telstar FC are my new favourite club. Shall we all go and pay them a visit next season!? I think so.

Sarah Jones, former NFL cheerleader, pleads guilty to lesser charges in sex case
(CBS/AP) COVINGTON, Ky. - Sarah Jones, a former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader, pleaded guilty Monday to lesser charges on allegations that she had sex with a 17-year-old student while she was a high school teacher. It is a move that will allow her to avoid jail time.
Jones, 27, appeared in Kenton County Circuit Court and pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and custodial interference in place of more serious charges as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors.
"I began a romantic relationship while he was a student and I was in a position of authority," Jones said.
Jones said the relationship began in February 2011 at Dixie Heights High School in northern Kentucky when the boy was 17-years-old. She said she had sex with the boy, sent him sexually explicit text messages and lied about the relationship to the police.
Judge Patricia Summe granted prosecutors' recommendation to sentence Jones to five years of diversion but no jail time. The diversion requires Jones to report to a probation officer, undergo drug tests and never apply for a teaching job again.
In admitting to her relationship with the teen, Jones also avoids a potentially embarrassing trial that would have included transcripts of the text messages she sent to him. Defense attorney Eric Deters said Jones was willing to plead guilty because Summe denied his request to keep the text messages out of the trial.
"They're embarrassing," Deters told reporters after the hearing. "They were steamy."
Prosecutors said they were willing to make the deal because the teen, now 18, and his family were uncooperative with them and took Jones' side.
Jones resigned her position from Dixie Heights last November. She was indicted in March, and her trial was set to start Wednesday.
Jones' mother, former school principal Cheryl Jones, also pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor charge of tampering with evidence. She admitted to the judge that she sent the teen a text message telling him to get rid of his phone. She also avoids jail time.

Square Loses Two Execs, Including One Out Before His First Day on the Job
Two senior execs have left Square, including a well-known former PayPal exec who had been announced but had not yet started at the high-profile payments company.
That was Alex Petrov, who Square announced just three weeks ago was supposed to be the startup's new vice president of partnerships. But he actually never started working at Square and will not be joining the company, a spokesperson confirmed.
The other, Alyssa Cutright, who was the company's vice president of international, actually left in March after one year on the job, a Square spokesperson also confirmed. She oversaw the company's expansion into Canada after being poached from eBay's PayPal unit, where she had spent 12 years. The reason for her departure isn't clear, but the timing is a bit unusual as Square continues to build momentum and plans for further expansion.
Some of this might be related to another new hire of high-powered ex-Googler Francoise Brougher as business lead. Now, she will assume the duties of both Petrov and Cutright, the spokesperson said. At the search giant, the exec led a number of key initiatives globally.
There has been a lot of turnover in the top ranks of Square recently, most prominently the departure of its COO Keith Rabois. He left after allegations of personal misconduct, which he denied publicly. Rabois is now a venture capitalist at Khosla Partners.
Cutright and Petrov could not be reached for comment.

Using SambaRobert Eckstein, David Collier-Brown, Peter Kelly
1st Edition November 1999
1-56592-449-5, Order Number: 4495
416 pages, $34.95
4.2 Special Sections
Now that we've gotten our feet wet with variables, there are a few special sections of the Samba configuration file that we should talk about. Again, don't worry if you do not understand each and every configuration options listed below; we'll go over each of them over the course of the upcoming chapters.
4.2.1 The [ globals] Section
[globals]section appears in virtually every Samba configuration file, even though it is not mandatory to define one. Any option set in this section of the file will apply to all the other shares, as if the contents of the section were copied into the share itself. There is one catch: other sections can list the same option in their section with a new value; this has the effect of overriding the value specified in the
To illustrate this, let's again look at the opening example of the chapter:[global] log level = 1 max log size = 1000 socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY guest ok = no [homes] browseable = no map archive = yes [printers] path = /usr/tmp guest ok = yes printable = yes min print space = 2000 [test] browseable = yes read only = yes guest ok = yes path = /export/samba/test
In the previous example, if we were going to connect a client to the
[test]share, Samba would first read in the
[globals]section. At that point, it would set the option
noas the global default for each share it encounters throughout the configuration file. This includes the
[printers]shares. When it reads in the
[test]share, however, it would then find the configuration option
yes, and override the default from the
[globals]section with the value
yesin the context of the
Any option that appears outside of a section (before the first marked section) is also assumed to be a global option.
4.2.2 The [homes] Section
If a client attempts to connect to a share that doesn't appear in the smb.conf file, Samba will search for a
[homes]share in the configuration file. If one exists, the unidentified share name is assumed to be a Unix username, which is queried in the password database of the Samba server. If that username appears, Samba assumes the client is a Unix user trying to connect to his or her home directory on the server.
For example, assume a client machine is connecting to the Samba server
hydrafor the first time, and tries to connect to a share named [
alice]. There is no
[alice]share defined in the smb.conf file, but there is a
[homes], so Samba searches the password database file and finds an
aliceuser account is present on the system. Samba then checks the password provided by the client against user
alice's Unix password - either with the password database file if it's using non-encrypted passwords, or Samba's smbpasswd file if encrypted passwords are in use. If the passwords match, then Samba knows it has guessed right: the user
aliceis trying to connect to her home directory. Samba will then create a share called
[alice]for her.
The process of using the
[homes]section to create users (and dealing with their passwords) is discussed in more detail in the Chapter 6, Users, Security, and Domains.
4.2.3 The [printers] Section
The third special section is called
[printers]and is similar to
[homes]. If a client attempts to connect to a share that isn't in the smb.conf file, and its name can't be found in the password file, Samba will check to see if it is a printer share. Samba does this by reading the printer capabilities file (usually /etc/printcap) to see if the share name appears there.[1] If it does, Samba creates a share named after the printer.
[1] Depending on your system, this file may not be /etc/printcap. You can use the testparm command that comes with Samba to determine the value of the
nameconfiguration option; this was the default value chosen when Samba was compiled.
[homes], this means you don't have to maintain a share for each of your system printers in the smb.conf file. Instead, Samba honors the Unix printer registry if you request it to, and provides the registered printers to the client machines. There is, however, an obvious limitation: if you have an account named
fredand a printer named
fred, Samba will always find the user account first, even if the client really needed to connect to the printer.
The process of setting up the
[printers]share is discussed in more detail in Chapter 7, Printing and Name Resolution.
4.2.4 Configuration Options
Options in the Samba configuration files fall into one of two categories: global or share. Each category dictates where an option can appear in the configuration file.
- Global
Global options must appear in the
[global]section and nowhere else. These are options that typically apply to the behavior of the Samba server itself, and not to any of its shares.
- Share
Share options can appear in specific shares, or they can appear in the
[global]section. If they appear in the
[global]section, they will define a default behavior for all shares, unless a share overrides the option with a value of its own.
In addition, the values that a configuration option can take can be divided into four categories. They are as follows:
- Boolean
These are simply yes or no values, but can be represented by any of the following:
1. The values are case insensitive:

IOA elections gets murkier: Abhay Chautala faction accuses Randhir of violating IOC charter
The internecine war in the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) ahead of elections to the apex sports body flared up again with the Abhay Singh Chautala faction writing to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) chief accusing IOC member Randhir Singh of flouting the Olympic Charter.
The internecine war in the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) ahead of elections to the apex sports body flared up again with the Abhay Singh Chautala faction writing to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) chief accusing IOC member Randhir Singh of flouting the Olympic Charter.
In separate letters more or less on similar lines to IOC president Jacques Rogge, IOA vice-president Tarlochan Singh and Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) president Ajay Singh Chautala charged Randhir Singh with violating the Olympic Charter by approaching the sports ministry to seek its blessings to contest the election - thus, by inference, accepting the government's sports code.
Earlier Monday, IOA acting president Vijay Kumar Malhotra appointed Anil Dev Singh, retired chief justice of the Rajasthan High Court, as the head of its three-member election commission.
Singh's appointment was made following the resignation of S.Y. Quraishi Saturday. The other members of the commission are Justice (retd.) V.K. Bali, who is also the returning officer, and Justice (retd.) J.D. Kapur.
The election is to take place Nov 25, but it now appears it may be postponed by four-five days so that the new chief of the panel could decide fresh dates for the scrutiny of nominations and withdrawal.
Tarlochan Singh and Ajay Chautala, brother of Abhay who is opposing Randhir in the IOA presidential race, have in their letters to Rogge said: "The IOC member in India Mr Randhir Singh is violating your instructions and IOC Charter approaching Secretary, Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Government of India on 14th November 2012 to seek clarification on his own candidature as per the National Sports Code.
"Since he had a fear that being the General Secretary of IOA for five consecutive terms, he may be declared ineligible for the post of President. This act of Mr. Randhir Singh clearly states that he believes and supports the National Sports Code formulated by the Government of India. Secondly, he filed his nomination for the post of President IOA knowing well that elections are being held as per the IOA Constitution and National Sports Code, wherever it is applicable in case of elections."
They want the IOC chief to now consider Randhir Singh's act as a violation of "your instructions as well as the Olympic Charter".
Meanwhile, the IOA has received another letter from the IOC asking the IOA to conduct the election exclusively under its constitution currently in force and the rules of the Olympic Charter.
In his reply, Malhotra said: "While IOC is insisting that its charter and IOA constitution are paramount, the Government of India has formulated a Sports Code and it wants that IOA and National Sports Federations (NSF) should follow that code."
"The Sports Ministry of the Government of India has threatened that in case of the non-compliance of the Sports Code, it will withdraw its recognition to the concerned NSFs and even the IOA. The High Court of Delhi has directed the IOA that it should follow the Sports Code while conducting the elections. Defying the orders will lead to contempt of court."
Malhotra's reply added: "IOA finds itself in a quandary. It has no power to defy the High Court. It has to go by the law of the land. On the other hand, there is insistence from the IOC to adhere to its charter and existing IOA constitution."
The scrutiny of the nominations for the elections was postponed Friday after Quraishi quit saying that IOA had failed to follow the government guidelines.
Abhay Chautala and Randhir Singh are contesting for the president's post while Lalit Bhanot has filed nomination papers for the job of secretary general.

Welcome to Loon Island Outdoors. I realized recently that it's been about 10 years since I started writing the trip reports and other pages for this site. I've had a lot of good feedback over the years and I think Loon Island Outdoors has succeeded in becoming "one more place to go on the web to daydream about things you would rather do than have to work for a living".
Over the years, the canoe trip reports have clearly become the heart of the site. The trip reports are intended to share the joy of adventure, the beauty of the natural world, and hopefully provide enough information to help you choose and plan your own trips. Check out the newest reports from our interior canoe trips to Wolf Lake on the Chiniguchi River in the southern part of Temagami from July 2014.
My trips have also turned out to more wrapped around fishing than I had ever expected. While fishing certainly isn't the only reason why we go canoeing, most of our trips are planned around the fishing opportunities. Given how popular the fishing section of our website is, it looks like we're not the only folks who think canoeing and fishing go well together. In fact, our first trip of the year is usually timed to take advantage of the shallow spring trout. Over the years we have put together a list of our favourite trout lures. Later on in the summer, large mouth and small mouth bass are popular targets which eventually led me to put together a list of our favourite bass lures as well.
The one section of the site that hasn't grown as much as I thought it would is the Boatworks section. I have really enjoyed building a variety of boats including a Chestnut Prospector, an Endeavour Sea Kayak and One-Sheet Skiff, but with a busy job and growing family I haven't gotten around to building any new boats lately. I even had to give up on my old Lakefield molded plywood runabout this last year. Nonetheless, the collection of pictures that we put together while building the Endeavour Sea Kayak continues to be one of most complete sets of woodstrip kayak construction pictures out there.
Now that you are here, go ahead and take a look around. If you are shopping for outdoors gear or books, then take some time to check out the Loon Island Outdoors Store. The store is powered by Amazon so you can shop with confidence. With a little luck you might find something to help you plan your own outdoor adventure.

Image by James Fisher for Warner Brothers
and Ian Holm
Alias: Elf-friend, ringbearer, thief (by Smeagol and Smaug)
Date of Birth: 22 September, T.A. 2890
Race: Hobbit
Height: Never specified, but careful estimate at 3'5" (104cm)
Date of Death: Unknown (date of departure over the sea: 29 September, T.A. 3021)
Alignment: Good
Parents: Father - Bungo Baggins; Mother - Belladonna Took
Spouse: None
Children: None (adopted heir - Frodo Baggins)
Description: Professor Tolkien's overall description of the Hobbit race, found in the opening pages of The Hobbit, gives the reader the implicit understanding that Bilbo himself shares most, if not all, of these traits: "They are (or were) a little people, about half our height, and smaller than the bearded dwarves. Hobbits have no beards ... They are inclined to be fat in the stomach; they dress in bright colours (chiefly green and yellow); wear no shoes, because their feet grow natural leathery soles and thick warm brown hair like the stuff on their heads (which is curly); have long clever brown fingers, good-natured faces, and laugh deep fruity laughs ..." In a letter (#27) to an American publisher in 1938, Tolkien described hobbits further: "I picture a fairly human figure, not a kind of 'fairy' rabbit as some of my British reviewers seem to fancy: fattish in the stomach, shortish in the leg. A round, jovial face; ears only slightly pointed and 'elvish'; hair short and curling (brown). The feet from the ankles down, covered with brown hairy fur."
Bilbo Baggins
Bilbo Baggins was a very well-to-do hobbit living a contented life in the peaceful lands of the Shire when his accidental wish for adventure (that he didn't even know he possessed) came true with the unexpected arrival of a Wizard and a clutch of Dwarves. Bilbo was descended from the Took line of Hobbits on his mother's side — indeed the fabulous Belladonna Took was friends with Gandalf the Grey before Bilbo was born — which contributed to his latent wanderlust, a trait considered deeply counter to Hobbit sensibilities.
He lived in a luxurious (by hobbit standards) dwelling known across the countryside as Bag End, which was built by his father, Bungo. In 2941, Bilbo was recruited by Gandalf to operate as a Burglar in the Quest for Erebor (the Lonely Mountain) — and his many adventures truly marked the beginning of the Hobbits' involvement in the affairs of the world outside their insular Shire.
Moments before his fateful encounter with Gollum, Bilbo discovered the One Ring; which was itself seeking to find a way out of the dark caves beneath the Misty Mountains where it had been kept secret by Gollum for centuries. Bilbo was the fourth Ring-bearer (after Isildur, Déagol, and Sméagol-Gollum) to possess the One Ring of Power after it was cut from Sauron's hand during his defeat by the Last Alliance of Elves and Men.
Returning to the Shire after his Dragon-quest, Bilbo settled into a quiet life, never marrying; instead pursuing more scholarly interests. He stepped up to adopt his favorite young cousin, Frodo Baggins, whose parents had died. Many years later Bilbo decided to pack up and leave Bag End to enjoy a final journey of Dale and Erebor — then to settle into retirement in Rivendell — thus leaving the Bag End estate and possessions (including the Ring) to Frodo.
As a historian, writer, and poet, Bilbo left a remarkable body of work that detailed his adventures (his memoirs would in time be handed down to Frodo and then Samwise Gamgee, and eventually were incorporated into the Red Book of Westmarch). He studied Elven-lore and poetry during his twilight years in Rivendell.
Bilbo was the second-longest lived of all hobbits on record (after Gollum; in both cases this was due partially to the influence of the Ring) being 131 years old when he finally departed from the Grey Havens and sailed over Sea in 3021.
Analysis: Onscreen roles of Bilbo were memorably played by Ian Holm in Peter Jackson's LOTR Trilogy (having previously played the role of Frodo in the 1981 BBC Radio adaptation of LOTR) and Orson Bean in the Rankin/Bass animated adaptations of both The Hobbit and ROTK.
Bilbo has a unique story arc that had its origins in the mind of Tolkien as a private amusement. The Professor thought it was quite funny to send Bilbo, a homebody "rural Englishman," on a wildly unpleasant adventure for Dragon treasure. The better qualities of sturdy and brave Hobbit-nature are revealed through the course of Bilbo's journey as the tone of Tolkien's writing gradually moves from comedic to "high romantic."
Against all odds, Bilbo earned the trust and friendship of his Dwarvish traveling party during the many difficult scrapes of their quest; and he further succeeded in forming lasting friendships with other races (the Elves of Mirkwood and Rivendell, the Men of Lake-town) who had never encountered Hobbits before. Bilbo may never have realized it (in fact, Tolkien didn't realize it when he wrote The Hobbit), but he was a player in Gandalf's long-range efforts to rid the North of the Fire-drake, Smaug; seen as a potential weapon that Sauron might later set loose upon the Free Peoples of Middle-earth.
Memorable Quotes
- "Confusticate and bebother these dwarves! Why don't they come and lend a hand?" (to himself)
- "I am Mr. Bilbo Baggins. I have lost the dwarves and I have lost the wizard, and I don't know where I am; and I don't want to know, if only I can get away." (to Gollum)
- "I am the clue-finder, the web-cutter, the stinging fly. I was chosen for the lucky number." (to Smaug)
- "I wonder how many breakfasts, and other meals, we have missed inside that nasty clockless, timeless hole?" (to the dwarves)
- "I may be a burglar — or so they say: personally I never felt like one — but I am an honest one, I hope, more or less." (to the elves guarding camp)

Heartbroken by my failure to hear biographer Stacy Schiff speak when she was in Chicago last week, I lassoed her by email to discuss one of my favorite subjects: biography.
Q: What is essential to the perfect biography subject?
A: In an ideal world, the perfect biographical subject would have been the star of his penmanship class at grade school — and would thereafter write an English that positively sings. His or her papers should be accessible though not too accessible, and within a 3-hour drive from your front door. His friends should all have photographic memories, should still be alive, and should not have spoken already to 15 previous biographers — you don't want the recycled stories. They should not be legion; you are not looking to interview every member of the 1969 NASA team. Your subject should have lived between the advent of the typewriter and that of e-mail. Ideally he would have died young: Mozart, Keats, Pocahontas. It helps tremendously if he is likeable, or at least admirable. I could go on, but you see that I have rarely wound up with a perfect subject. Saint-Exupery may have come closest. With him the timing was certainly ideal: Some of the early aviation pioneers were still alive, as were the young Americans with whom Saint-Exupery flew at the end of his life, as were the girlfriends. All were eager to talk, and many had never really done so. After him I swore the next subject would have lived his or life in a Romance language; have had a sense of humor that rivaled Saint-Exupery's; and written as fine a letter. I wound up with Vera Nabokov, who did none of those things.
For the rest, the old dramatic adage is true: Keep your hero in trouble. And I do see the perfect subject as publishers see the perfect author: dead.
Q: What drew you to Cleopatra?
A: She is smart, cunning, plucky — and wholly misunderstood. I'd been puzzling a lot over questions of women and power, women and authority (this was during the run-up to the last election); the East/West collision struck me as topical. I was ready to write a book in which lacunae were welcome, or at least admissible. I kept going back to the passage in Plutarch's "Life of Antony" in which Cleopatra and Antony are out fishing; if we had 2000-year-old dialogue, a hint of Cleopatra's saucy voice, and a detailed scene, surely something could be written about her, if not a traditional narrative? For a long time I told myself I could do the thing episodically. Virginia Woolf once reviewed a mediocre novel with the line, "The string didn't quite unite the pearls, but the pearls were there." I took that as a sort of operating premise.
Q: Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Vera Nabokov, Ben Franklin in Paris, Cleopatra. What do they have in common, and will you ever write about an American in America?
A: My next book is on the Salem witch trials. As a small-town Massachusetts girl, this makes me very happy. So does the reunion with documents! Crabbed and eccentric though the l7th century handwritings (and penmanship) are, I remain enchanted by them.
Q: What was it like to have virtually no original documents, especially when Ben Franklin documents were so abundant.
A: Well I've said that to some extent Cleopatra may have been a reaction against the mountain of Franklin materials. They were endless — you haven't lived until you've read l8th century French on microfilm, by the way — and yet they did not always yield answers. Volumes of them existed purely to misinform. The spies that encircled Franklin in Paris were surely paid by the word; nothing was too insignificant for them to report on. That said, it was no cakewalk to write a book about a Greek woman whose history comes to us from Roman men. It meant including some portraits of the sources themselves in the biography, and stepping out on the page myself more than I have done in the past.
Q: Even if you haven't seen the "Cleopatra" movie, how could you avoid the (other) Elizabeth Taylor image from popping into your mind?
A: It wasn't easy coming up against Elizabeth Taylor, Claudette Colbert, Vivien Leigh. The real problem though was Shakespeare, who appropriated a great deal of Plutarch. Essentially I tried to keep my distance from them all. And knew that even when I finished, long after the book was published, the John Ford truth would prevail: In the duel between history and legend, the latter always wins.
Heartbroken by my failure to hear biographer Stacy Schiff speak when she was in Chicago last week, I lassoed her by email to discuss one of my favorite subjects: biography.

Even a veteran actress such as Kristen Bell can be intimidated when it comes to working with other fellow actors on a project. That was the case when she was cast in the upcoming comedy, "You Again," with Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis and Betty White.
"It was kind of surreal because they accepted me as a peer," Bell recently told Parade magazine about working with the actresses, "which I wasn't prepared for." I thought I would be a giddy ball of nerves the entire time because they're such iconic women, and I look up to all of them. I was intimidated initially but very shortly I realized they haven't been working for decades because they have bad personalities! They are actually a lot of fun to work with and bring a lot to the table, so I was just happy to be the runt of the litter."
In the new movie, the former "Veronica Mars" actress plays Marni, who learns that her brother is marrying her former enemy from high school. Bell told Parade of her own real-life experiences in high school.
U.S. & World
"I think I was somewhere in between popular and nerdy. I went to a very small school where the consequences of bullying were a lot more dramatic than they were at a big school."
She added: "But in high school, I was just very insecure because I was always so concerned that everybody liked me so I was just very sweet, a little meeker than I am now, but I was really just so hopeful that I wouldn't fight with anybody."
Bell, 30, who is engaged to Dax Shepard, said she is making a cameo in the upcoming "Scream 4," but that's all she'll admit. "I am in the movie, I will say that. I don't know if I can say much more than that but it's a really, really fun movie and everyone loves it as much as they did the first one."

Sometimes, Mother Nature can be a dirty liar. Moths pretend to be dangerous spiders, antelopes deceive their mates, and carnivorous plants mimic harmless flowers to attract prey. There is astounding diversity in the deceptive strategies of plants and animals. But, as it turns out, many of these clever critters have a single origin: Australia. Down under, both the number of deceptive species and the variety of their behavioral strategies are disproportionately large.
Take orchids, for instance. Orchids can be tricky plants; instead of offering up a delicious slurp of nectar, some species lure in unsuspecting male pollinators by mimicking female insects looking for a mate. And while Australia is home to only about five percent of the world's orchid diversity, more than half of the known sexually deceptive orchid species on Earth evolved there.
Animals in Australia pull plenty of tricks, too. Australian crab spiders are particularly cunning; they sit on plants, lying in wait until a pollinator drops by for a visit. These tiny predators reflect UV light just as a flower might do to advertise its nectar, luring victims into the danger zone. This trick is a relatively common one in Australia, with at least five different species of spiders exhibiting UV deception. But in the rest of the world, it's almost unheard of: there's only one other known species of crab spider that pulls a similar trick, and it lives in India.
Simple measures of diversity don't seem to explain the preponderance of deceptive species down under. So why is Australian wildlife so crafty? A new paper in Behavioral Ecology suggests a few hypotheses. First, it's possible that Australia's harsh climate might reward species that evolve new deceptive strategies. Australia's history is also rife with biological invasions, which might help spur new symbiotic relationships between species. But it's also possible that there's a reporting bias and that there's simply been more research into biological deception in Australia than elsewhere. A national research system that supports natural history research—as well as encourages innovative approaches and creative ideas—might be particularly likely to turn up examples of tricky species.
So far, these hypotheses are largely untested, and the paper is meant to ask questions, rather than to answer them. It's also an elegant example of how basic research can be used to lay the groundwork for testable hypotheses, ones that could potentially explain a larger biological (or perhaps sociological) phenomenon. But for now, the jury's still out on this one.

The state is the first in the nation to legalize recreational marijuana. NBC's Gabe Gutierrez reports.
John Wark / AP
A long line of buyers trails from a store selling marijuana in Pueblo West, Colo, Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2014. The nation's first recreational pot industry opened in Colorado on Wednesday, kicking off a marijuana experiment that will be watched closely around the world. (AP Photo/John Wark)
Colorado's legal recreational marijuana industry kicked off Wednesday with an Iraq war veteran who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder making the first pot purchase under the new law.
Sean Azzariti of Denver, who helped campaign for Amendment 64, bought an eighth of an ounce of a strain called Bubba Kush and a pot-infused edible truffle for $59 at the 3D Cannabis Center — one of two dozen retailers that began selling up to an ounce of weed to adults starting at 8 a.m. mountain time.
"It's pretty surreal," the cashier told Azzariti, who was not able to buy medical marijuana with his diagnosis.
"Thank you so much," he said as he accepted the package and held up his receipt for a phalanx of television cameras at the carefully choreographed inaugural sale.
"I feel amazing. This is a huge step forward for veterans," he said. "Now I get to use recreational cannabis to alleviate my PTSD."
The countdown to the first sale began New Year's Eve with "Prohibition is Over" parties where enthusiasts clutched bongs instead of champagne flutes.
By morning, there were lines in front of some retail shops in the eight towns where the new industry was up and running.
"We wanted to be a part of this movement," Brandon Harris, who drove 20 hours from Blanchester, Ohio, told the Associated Press outside one Denver store. "We're making history here."
Jacob Elliott, of Leesburg, Va., was out before dawn.
A veteran, who says he suffers from PTSD, was first in line to buy marijuana at a Colorado store. The state is the first in the country to allow the sale of recreational marijuana.
"This breaks that barrier," he said. "We can buy it like any other free-market product."
Colorado residents age 21 and over can buy up to an ounce under the new regulations; non-residents can purchase up to a quarter-ounce.
Addison Morris, owner of Rocky Mountain Mile High Tours, chauffered 10 out-of-state clients to a dispensary, where a "marijuana concierge" helped them choose their pot — for a $295 fee.
"We're your grandmother's pot connection," Morris, 63, told the AP. "We're not the hippie stoners who are going to stand in this cold and party."
Despite the ease of purchasing it, smoking marijuana in many public places is still illegal, as is driving under the influence.
Marijuana advocates said they expect $400 million in sales in the next year, giving the state an economic boost. Mason Tvert, co-director of the legalization campaign, said he expects several other states to follow suit in the next few years.
Brennan Linsley / AP
An employee weighs portions of retail marijuana to be packaged and sold at 3D Cannabis Center in Denver, Tuesday Dec. 31, 2013.
"Regulating marijuana works," Tvert said, pointing to the state's longstanding medical marijuana operation.
Pot activists say a government-monitored marijuana industry is a better alternative to the drug war and no different than how alcohol is treated in the United States. Critics worry that it will fuel drug abuse and use by minors.
