Gail Collins
Earl Wilson/The New York Times
Gail Collins joined The New York Times in 1995 as a member of the editorial board and later as an Op-Ed columnist. In 2001 she became the first woman ever appointed editor of the Times's editorial page. At the beginning of 2007, she stepped down and began a leave in order to finish her book: "When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present." She returned to The Times as a columnist in July 2007.
Before joining The Times, Ms. Collins was a columnist at New York Newsday and the New York Daily News, and a reporter for United Press International. Her first jobs in journalism were in Connecticut, where she founded the Connecticut State News Bureau, which provided coverage of the state capitol and Connecticut politics. When she sold it in 1977, the CSNB was the largest news service of its kind in the country, with more than 30 weekly and daily newspaper chains.
Ms. Collins' most recent book is "As Texas Goes: How the Lone Star State Hijacked the American Agenda," published in 2012 by W.W. Norton. She is also the author of "America's Women," "Scorpion Tongues: Gossip, Celebrity and American Politics," a biography of William Henry Harrison and "The Millennium Book," which she co-authored with her husband, Dan Collins.

- "O stars that in the Sunless Year
With shining hand by her were sown,
In Windy fields now bright and clear
We see your silver blossom blown!"
- ― Hymn to Elbereth
Varda Elentári (Q, pron. N [ˈvarda ˌelenˈtaːri], V [ˈβarda ˌelenˈtaːri]), known in Sindarin as Elbereth Gilthoniel (pron. [ˈelbereθ ɡilˈθonjel]), was a Valië, the wife of Manwë and Queen of the Valar. Elves love and revere her most of all the Valar, and they call upon her in their hours of deepest darkness.
[edit] History
When Melkor first began to create his discord, Varda saw his mind, and despised him. Melkor feared and hated Varda the most out of the Valar.
Varda was said to be too beautiful for words. Within her face radiated the light of Ilúvatar. She resided with Manwë in Valinor. Varda created the stars with the dews from the vats of Telperion, the first of the Two Trees. Varda is said to be the Vala most loved and revered by the Elves in Middle-earth, she is also believed to be the most beautiful.
[edit] Etymology
Varda is a Quenya name,[1] meaning "sublime" or "lofty", from Primitive Quendian baradâ, merged with barathî.[source?]
In Telerin she was called Baradis, and in Sindarin Elbereth.
All these come from the Root BARÁD/BARATH.[2]
In Adûnaic, her name was adapted rather than translated; it became Avradî.
Some older forms were Baráda, Bridhil, Timbridhil and Tinwetári.
Elbereth derives from elen-bereth meaning "star-queen". It represents evolution of Primitive Quendian *elen-barathî (the final -i umlauted the word to berethi) > elemberethi > elbereth.[3]
[edit] Names and epithets
She was also known as Elentári "Star-queen", Tintallë "Star-kindler". Another title for Varda was Airë Tári, the "holy queen".[4]
In Sindarin she is also known as Gilthoniel (Starkindler), Fanuilos (Ever-white).
In Adûnaic she was also called Gimilnitîr "starkindler".
She is also referred to by the epithets The Kindler, Lady of the Stars, Queen of the Stars, Snow-white. They are translations of her Elvish names.
[edit] Other versions of the legendarium
In Tolkien's early Qenya, Vard- was a root referring to royalty. Related words were vardar "king" and vardo "prince"; they do not appear in the later inception of Quenya.
[edit] Inspiration
The Valar, being divine beings below the ultimate Creator, Ilúvatar, are thought of as being the Middle-earth equivalent of saints and angels; it has therefore been suggested that Varda, in her role as the most loved and prayed-to Vala, may be an equivalent of the Virgin Mary in Tolkien's own Catholic faith. Another suggestion is the goddess of wisdom, Sophia, also associated with the stars.[5]

Illustrations by Katrina Peterson Different from the Diva, the Naysayer is the staff member who quietly undermines the salon's leadership through their words and actions and influences staff opinion. The Naysayer is the first one to say, 'That won't work' or 'This is a bad idea.' He or she is the one who badmouths the owner or manager to other staff in the backroom or rebels by simply refusing to follow the rules.
Don Bewley, founder of Eufora: "When you've got a Naysayer, it's important to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and try to find out the reason behind why they act the way they do. It could be they're afraid or insecure or uneducated, and those are things I can coach them through. Every person has different goals—my goal is to find out what their goal is and help them achieve it—then they'll help you with their goals. People don't care what you know until they know that you care."
Ginny Eramo, owner of Interlocks in Newburyport, Massachusetts: "I still have a few of these, but they are not the majority. I make sure those people are not in a leadership role. Negativity can certainly spread, but if you have a healthy work environment, negativity can only spread so far. As the salon owner, you can affect the environment. I spend less time on Naysayers and more time on team players. Your attention to the Naysayer just fuels it, and what gets rewarded, gets repeated. For example, there are 12 of us going to America's Beauty Show this year, and I'm only taking positive, team players.
"I have a Naysayer who has been honest with me and realized she's missed out on opportunities, and I told her why so she can change into more of a team player."
Bryan Nunes, owner of Blo in Raleigh, North Carolina: "I'm all too familiar with the Naysayer as I used to be one. At the core, the Naysayer has a fear of abandonment, failure, not being good enough and rejection. I can't overstate how critical it is in life, not just business, to practice understanding. "The way to handle Naysayers is by empowering them. Not in an 'OK, do you have a better idea?-way, but in a way that makes them feel valued and secure—a way that gives them a sense that they matter. Like many of us, they must be brought into awareness about this part of their personality so they can begin to ask themselves how this approach is serving them in their day-to-day lives. "As far as staff meetings go, you have to set the ground rules and expectations ahead of time as a leader. Our staff meetings have communication going in one direction. They are strictly for the delivering of information. They are not and will never be a setting where back and forth dialogue is welcome beyond questions that involve clarifying a point or something small like that. This in not to say that feedback isn't welcome, but only in a one-on-one setting."

A Phoenix woman has been accused of allowing teenagers to smoke pot at her home, located near 116th Ave and Peoria.
63-year-old Kathleen Dewey is behind bars, facing 10 different drug-related charges, including possession.
The disabled Air Force veteran was taken into custody this past Saturday after police say she had been smoking marijuana with a few teens in the neighborhood.
Her husband admits that the teens would smoke at their home, but says it was a coping tool, helping them deal with the suicide of an 18-year-old who lived at their home earlier this year.
"They would come over and give her a little bit of weed here and there and stuff like that," said Dwight Dewey, the suspect's husband. "I'm sorry the kids were smoking pot, yes I understand that but yeah I know it's against the law."
Although the teens were allowed to smoke at their home, Dewey's husband said they never actually provided the teens with the drugs.

In his first public remarks since questioning the officiating at the 2012 Winter Classic Monday in Philadelphia, Rangers head coach John Tortorella made sure to aknowledge following practice on Wednesday that he made an error in judgement with what he said two days prior.
"They were sarcastic comments by me at the wrong time, and it was frustration on my part, as far as the referees...and what was done at the end of the game," explained Tortorella. "Not for a second in no way, time, shape, or form did I think anything like that (fixing the game so that it goes to overtime) goes on with our league, or ever will."
Tortorella added that his comments regarding the referees meeting with NBC to conspire at having the Winter Classic go to overtime were completely "tongue-in-cheek". "For me to question the integrity of the league, the integrity of NBC, the integrity of (referees) Denny (LaRue) and Ian (Walsh), the Flyers, the Rangers, go right on through all the people here---there's not a chance I am thinking that way," Tortorella continued. "It was wrong with my sarcasm and my frustration and I apologize to everyone involved."
"I really thought they reffed a good game...I had frustrations at the end and that's what came out"
The Rangers head coach, who has spoken about his post-game comments with league official Colin Campbell, offered that the Winter Classic "was a first-class operation...and I screwed up with my mouth at the end, and I regret it, and I have apologized to all the people involved." Tortorella also said that he plans to apologize to LaRue and Walsh in person, not over the phone, and that he already has apologized to Flyers General Manager Paul Holmgren, as well.

The Packers released undrafted rookie free agent quarterback Matt Brown of Illinois State on Tuesday. Head coach Mike McCarthy, for the second straight summer, will carry just three quarterbacks into training camp, Aaron Rodgers, Graham Harrell and B.J. Coleman. The Packers are currently at 86 signed players on the roster. NFL rules allow 90 players in camp. One of those spots is expected to be taken by number one pick Datone Jones. The UCLA defensive end is the only draft pick without a deal. Camp opens Friday morning at 8:20 AM on Ray Nitschke Field.

A chilling discovery has been confirmed at a local golf course, three weeks after bones were discovered on one of the course's holes.
Police in Flint said the bones discovered Dec. 13 are indeed human and now investigators are trying to figure who they belonged to and how long they were there.
In an effort to determine the identity of the bones, police have released three photos, which are viewable on the right, showing items discovered around the bones. The photos show a T-shirt, a flashlight and backpack all found on the golf course near the bones.
The bones first surfaced at the Swartz Creek Golf Course on Dec 13. They were sent for testing shortly after the discovery. Authorities said the bones were found, along with the backpack, near the golf course's fifth hole.
Authorities believe the bones are those of a 50-year-old white man and that they've been at the location for nearly two years.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Det. Sgt. Greg Hosmer, with the Flint Police Dept., at 810-237-6945.

Of 49 newly hospitalized patients who met Research Diagnostic Criteria
for primary unipolar depression and were given the dexamethasone
suppression test (DST), significantly more patients admitted for suicide
attempts than nonsuicidal patients had abnormal DSTs. All five patients who
made subsequent suicide attempts (one completed) within 6 months after
admission had had abnormal DSTs. These findings suggest that the tendency
of endogenously depressed patients to attempt suicide is exacerbated by an
underlying neurobiological disorder reflected by limbic-hypothalamic
dysregulation and that depressed suicidal patients with abnormal DSTs
represent a high-risk group for recurrence of suicidal behavior.

INDIANAPOLIS - If the Indiana Pacers learned anything from their 108-97 win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, it's exactly how close they are as a team.
Team unity and having each other's back has been a theme for the Pacers, and they had a chance to show it when centre Roy Hibbert got involved in a fourth-quarter scuffle.
Hibbert was ejected following the skirmish that began when he and David Lee exchanged shoves under the basket after a missed shot.
"There were two or three guys coming after (Hibbert)," Pacers forward David West said. "We preach and talk about togetherness, so that's part of what we're going to do. We're going to defend one another. They came after him too many times."
West, who had 28 points and seven rebounds, also was called for a technical foul, along with the Warriors' Lee, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, for the altercation.
No players left the bench.
Curry tried to push Hibbert away and was shoved twice to the court as the fight went from the key to the baseline.
"Seriously, I didn't even feel him," Hibbert said of Curry. "I saw some light-skinned guy. I don't know if it was Klay Thompson or Steph Curry, I just knew there was a light-skinned guy by me."
Hibbert believes he will face a suspension.
"Indiana's a very physical team," Lee said. "They're one of the most physical teams, if not the most physical team in the East."
George Hill had 23 points and seven assists, and Paul George had 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Pacers (36-21), who have won five straight.
Curry scored a season-high 38 points and Thompson had 13 for the Warriors (33-24), who had a three-game winning streak snapped.
"It was just physical play," Curry said. "Teams are gearing up for playoff basketball and amping up the intensity a little bit."
The Pacers built a 95-85 lead midway through the fourth quarter and not even the scuffle shook them up as they ended a three-game skid against Western Conference teams.
When play resumed, Ian Mahinmi made a free throw and later West had three baskets, Lance Stephenson hit a 3-pointer and George scored on a jumper to give the Pacers a 104-87 lead with 3:28 left to play.
"We knew we had to (close it out) with Roy going out," George said. "We knew we had to close that game. We're happy about this, but it's one game."
Indiana's Danny Granger played 18 1/2 minutes and scored five points off the bench in his first home game this season.
He wasn't in the locker room for media availability after the game.
Pacers coach Frank Vogel said he wants to get Granger back in the starting lineup and is looking at a possible two-week timetable, but said he will review it week-by-week.
"My expectations are that we'll get him back into the starting lineup as soon as possible," Vogel said.
Curry hit a jumper and a 3-pointer and the Warriors took a 5-0 lead to start the game. Hill, who had 15 points in the first quarter, hit two 3-pointers, including one to tie the game with 4:19 left in the period.
With the Warriors trailing 52-43, Curry hit a 3-pointer and two more field goals before Lee scored on a layup to get them within 54-53 at halftime.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

by Robert "Tree" Sweeney
Iwas born in East St. Louis and lived over on 24th Street between State and St. Clair Ave. A number of well-known people were on my block. Mayor Connors, Judge Joe Fleming, Ed Belz, Commissioner Keeley, Judge Borens, and the Burnsworth girl who married Jack English - all lived there. Mayor Connors was Jimmy Connors' grandfather. Jimmy's dad was in charge of collecting the tolls on the Veterans' Bridge. Most of the toll collectors were Central High graduates.
The brothers were very strict and were not above using force to maintain the rules. I remember one kid named Dick O'Donnell who had a knock-down, drag-out fight right there in the classroom with brother Leo Schultz. They simply shoved the chairs and desks off to the side and duked it out for about five minutes. Johnny O'Brien (he later became principal at Althoff) and Dick Weilmuenster (who became head of St. Clair County mapping and zoning) both witnessed that fight.
One of the chores I performed back then was to be there when the delivery truck arrived every week with about five cases of Hyde Park beer for the brothers. My buddy, Bob Meketa, was my helper. We lugged the brown bottles down to the basement of their residence and returned with the empty cases. The bottles were all made at the Obear-Nester plant on 20th and Broadway.
Brother Leo Drexler was the principal, and one day he made an announcement over the P.A. system that all students were required to take at least two books with them after school for homework. He stopped me one day as I was leaving and pointed out that I was carrying only one book. When he asked me about it, I told him that I couldn't take two books home because all I had was one.
When I went to Central Catholic High, I got into football and boxing. A lot of football players were on the boxing team because it was a good way to build strength and stamina. Central was an antique brick building with an old wing and a newer wing. The gym was in the old section, located on the second floor. There were no bleachers, and there was a small stage on the east end. You could tell when you were going from the old to the new part of the building because the worn wooden floor gave way to one that was covered with tile.
There were eight weight divisions in the boxing program. Boxers were also categorized by being placed in either the novice or the "open" section. A fellow named Mr. Butler was the coach, and a man who was the referee at wrestling matches held at the Social Center arbitrated and judged our bouts. We didn't fight team from other schools; we fought classmates who were in our weight and experience division. There was no headgear used and the red leather Everlast gloves were a mere twelve ounces. The fights went three rounds, each lasting for two minutes.
Training took place after school at the Knights of Columbus building. We didn't use weights. The only equipment was the heavy bag and the small punching bag that helped build your hand speed. I think the school made good money from those bouts because the gym was always packed. They furnished us with expensive-looking red and gold silk trunks, with a matching robe. The ring that they used came from the Social Center. As attendance and interest in the matches grew, they were moved from Central High to the Knights of Columbus building.
Some of the fights were really brutal, and guys would get knocked out or take ten counts, and leave the ring with assorted cuts and purplish bruises on their bodies. Several of them were really good and went on to fight in the Golden Gloves tournaments. There was a kid named Jimmy Neville who did that. Joe Flake was another great one. He won the Ozark AAU event held in St. Louis one year. Jack Belz was a tough cookie. His dad owned Century Cigar, and his brother Ed was the city editor for the Journal. Another brother named Vic married Mary Louise Connors, the mayor's daughter.
Most of the guys wore black high-top shoes, but I wanted people to notice me so my trademark was a pair of white shoes, made by the Rawlings Company in St. Louis. Once I saw Joe Louis on TV emerge from his dressing room with a towel on his head. After that, I always had a white towel on my noggin, no matter how hot it was.
My dad was a good, tough cop. He knew that his Smith and Wesson was his best friend, and he spent a half an hour every day just cleaning and polishing it. He would eyeball every bullet he placed in the chambers, checking it for defects. He had a nose for trouble and when something went down, my dad was there. He killed a lot of people in the line of duty, but he didn't do anybody in who didn't deserve it. In most cases, he was ducking hot lead from the other guy at the time his fatal shots were fired. His career was colorful and legendary. One of the guys he killed was Ma Barker's nephew.
There was one time when Sweeney received a call and was told that Bugsy Siegel was in town at the 111-Mo Bar on Missouri Avenue, checking things out with some of his Jewish friends. Sweeny drove over there and went inside. His reputation had preceded him. Siegel caught Sweeney giving him the evil eye and whispered to Ray Doyle, the owner: "Is that him?"
"Yeah, that's Sweeney," he replied. Sweeney strode up to Siegel and got in his face. "You've got exactly five minutes to get outta here and cross the bridge back to St. Louis you #@*#snake," he growled. Siegel meekly walked out the front door and left. About a year later, he was gunned down in Virginia Hill's living room in Hollywood. It was Bugsy's vision that transformed Las Vegas from a sleepy desert town into a gambler's paradise.
People have it wrong about Buster Wortman. He never owned the Mounds Club on Collinsville Road, and except for the Paddock Lounge at 5th and St. Louis, he made little off the town. At one point in time, Wortman wasn't even allowed in the city limits during the hours that Bob Sweeney worked (from 3-11 p.m.). One evening, my dad picked up my friends and me after some wrestling matches at the Social Center. We were in the back seat of his police car when my dad spotted Wortman and Dutch Dowling in a Cadillac getting some gas at Dukell's Filling Station near Bond Avenue. Dad got out of his car and walked over to the passenger side and told Buster to have his driver follow him down to the police station.
"What time is it?" Dowling sarcastically asked from behind the steering wheel.
Dad walked around to the other side and smashed a surprised Dowling in the mouth. There was blood all over his lightcolored seersucker suit.
"What did he do wrong?" Sweeney asked Wortman.
"You were talking to me, not him. He should have kept his mouth shut."
There was another time when a Negro committed a string of rapes over by the Gaty Theater. He had this M.O. where he would prey on girls with soldiers from Scott Field as the), were walking home after the show. The police department set a trap. Bob Sweeney dressed up in a military uniform and Rich Mackin, a short guy who weighed about 135 pounds, dressed up like a woman. The), strolled the area at night for about a month before they hit pay dirt.
When Sweeney showed his gun and said "you're under arrest," the man pulled his weapon and got off a couple of shots. one of them whizzing by Mackin's head. Sweeney wasn't carrying his trusty .38 that night because its bulk was hard to hide under the uniform. Instead. he had a snub nosed .32. Sweeney drilled five shots into the guy's stomach. His name was Scott. and he was big. weighing 280 pounds hung on a massive 6'-6" frame. Dr. Matthew Eisele operated on him and took the slugs out. He told Sweeney that most of the bullets barely penetrated the muscle tissue, and only two of them did any serious damage. This was the only time in his career that Sweeney pumped this many shots into vital areas with the perpetrator living to tell about it. Sweeney contacted a lawyer and made plans to sue Olin-Winchester at East Alton, Illinois, for making defective bullets. Incidentally. the guy died of complications about six months later.
There was another man dad killed by the name of Clinchback. He was an ex-con who pulled off a few robberies before the "Law in East St. Louis" caught up with him. He got off two shots at Sweeney and then the gun misfired on the next shot. Sweeney nailed him with one shot clean through the heart. Sweeney took the bullet that jammed and had a good-luck key chain out of it.
There was another criminal whom Sweeney killed on the steps of the Ainad Temple. He had just robbed Roehn's Drug Store (on St. Louis and 13th Street) of $38, shooting a clerk in the process. Sweeney caught up with the man and gunned him down when he refused to surrender.
Mel Luna, a Journal reporter interviewed Sweeney the next day. "Do you think it's right to kill a guy just because he stole $38?" Luna asked. Sweeney, a profane man, was never one to mince words. "You're damn right its OK to kill the worthless *#@%!S.O.B. who tried to blast me," Sweeney retorted!
Dad also killed a couple of guys who robbed Teefey's Poultry place at 22nd and State near the terminal railroad tracks. It was the largest poultry place in the city, employing about thirteen people. Customers would go there and select live poultry right on the spot. He also killed a guy whose last name was Koski. He was related to Kenny Koski who Was police chief in Washington Park before Carl Parker came along.
There was another famous incident between my dad and Carl Shelton. Shelton was in St. Mary's hospital, recovering from an operation. Sweeney hated the Sheltons and did everything he could to rid the town of them. When he found out Carl was laid up in the hospital, he said "What is that blankety blank son of a gun doing in my town?" He rushed down to the hospital and dragged Shelton out of his bed and booked him on another one of those trumped up charges. Both Carl and the hospital threatened to sue Bob Sweeney over that incident but the charges were thrown out of court. The Shelton Gang was ruthless and had been featured in an article on gangsterism that appeared in the Saturday Evening Post. As a kid back at Central High, I remember seeing a Ripley's "Believe it or Not" story about how the Shelton gang carried out the first and only aerial bombing attack in the U. S. when they flew over Charlie Birger's roadhouse near Marion and threw bombs from the open cockpit.
The two biggest gambling establishments back in those days were Bowman's (on Collinsville Ave. across from Southern Illinois Bank on Broadway), and Vic Doyle's Ringside (on West Broadway, next to Bush's Steak House). Doyle's place had about seven or eight craps tables in operation at the same time. Every morning, after dad dropped me off at school, he went to Bowman's and Doyle's to collect their receipts from the day before. The money was in leather brief cases and dad would take it for deposit to First National Bank on Missouri Ave. He received a hundred dollars a day from each place for doing this. It was common knowledge that dad was handling all this money, but no one ever tried to rob him. For about five years in a row, Roy Bowman bought dad a new Fleetwood from East Side Cadillac on 11th and St. Louis Ave. Frank Abell, the real estate man who owned the building, told me what color it was going to be.
There were several places in town called handbooks. They weren't very big and had their address numbers posted over the doors. There was a 353 on East Broadway that belonged to "Mule Pole" Fritz back in the Twenties. A guy named Eddie Bauer was one of their board guys. There was another one called The 414, located across the street from theJournal on Missouri Ave It was owned by John Hickey. These establishments were mostly for people who liked to bet the horses, but they usually had a few slot machines on one wall. There were board boys who posted current information about races with pieces of chalk. Race results came in on ticker machines from places like Pimlico, Saratoga, Arlington and Churchill Downs. Fifty cents was the minimum bet. They wrote down the race, horse, and amount of the wager on your ticket. When the race was over, a man on a P.A. system would announce the results, which would then be posted. The results looked something like this: Whirlaway - Win, $6.80; Place, $5.00; Show, $3.20.
Bob Sweeney quit the force in 1956 after he was told to "take it easy" on some hoods because they were local boys. This included Wortman associates such as Dutch Dowling, Gordon Foster, Baldy O'Hara and T. J. Harvel and his brother. Dad then did some construction work before he got sick. If you go visit the site of Wortman's grave in Mt. Carmel Cemetery near the top of Signal Hill, you'll find Bob Sweeney buried only six feet away.
People who don't know East St. Louis have no idea what it was really like. Sure, it was wide open, rough and tumble, with a saloon on every corner. Politicians and policemen were often lining their pockets, but they made sure that essential services were performed. Streets were kept in good repair. You never saw any significant litter on the city streets. The grass at public buildings was mowed once a week, and the parks were neatly manicured. Remember how the guy who took care of the floral flag on Argonne Drive would spend hours making sure it was perfect? And how about the beautiful fountains at the lily pond south of diamond number one. You never saw paper or trash lying around at any of the parks.
East St. Louis may have had a notorious reputation, but the locals tolerated what was going on because they knew it was happening in a lot of other large cities. It was just politics. Extra revenue that flowed into the city coffers from gambling, liquor sales, and prostitution, helped keep taxes low. Wortman kept the worst elements from muscling their way in, and anything that got past him was dealt with swiftly and harshly by the police. How do you think Fields got elected five times in a row? He wasn't a great mayor. People voted for him because he got the job done and was a known quantity. He represented the status quo. Times were good; taxes and utility rates were low. People had jobs and the streets were safe. There was probably less street crime in East St. Louis than in any other city of comparable size.
If you wanted to work on the city payroll, you either had to know somebody, have a relative there, or pay some up front money to get the job. They were good paying jobs and few objected to paying a fee in advance and an annual lug (donation) to keep the job. Let's say you wanted to work for the levee board. You went to a supervisor and told him how you were a friend or relative of someone else who already worked there. Then you would meet somebody at Jones Park at night and pay them something like $500.00. The levee and park board were notorious for their ghost payrolls. There were a lot of people who got paid, but some of them did little or no work.
East St. Louis was one helluva town!

Album: Betty Wright & The Roots, Betty Wright: The Movie (S-Curve)
Sunday 08 July 2012
It's not one of the great voices, but Betty can lay greater claim to being the voice of "every woman" than, say, Chaka or Aretha.
What she has always sung about with great authority is sexual and domestic politics, and The Movie is squarely in Wright's thematic pocket. The slightly sterile neo-soul fump of the Roots may lack the feel of their progenitors but the songs make up for that. Lil Wayne, Snoop and Joss Stone chip in.

In autumn and winter night sky, there is a spectacular galaxy which can be seen even with the naked eye: the "Great Nebula" in Andromeda or M31 (the 31st object in the Messier catalogue). Although Andromeda Galaxy is faint for the naked eye, it is one of the farthest objects which can be seen with the unaided eye. Under a dark area, the Andromeda Galaxy looks like a fuzzy "cloud" with the width of the full moon. At a distance of 2.3 million light years, Andromeda Galaxy is our nearest neighbouring "twin" galaxy. Hence, it provides us with an opportunity to study the global properties of a galaxy which is similar to our Milky Way. As M31 and the Milky Way share similar morphology and size, comparisons between the properties of both can be enlightening.
Like the Milky Way, M31 is a giant spiral-shaped disk of stars, with a central dense region of older stars. The central region is estimated to
have a few million stars which is very difficult to be resolved with large ground-based telescopes; the starlight blends to resemble a single
bright almost point-like object. In 1993, a team of astronomers using Hubble Space Telescope discovered a double nucleus in the centre of M31. Most galaxies like our Milky Way are
believed to harbour a supermassive black hole in the centre of the galaxy. Black hole is a strong gravitational pull object in which even light cannot escape from it. Although black hole is invisible (by definition), astronomers can "detect" black hole in the galactic centre by studying the orbital motions of stars closely around the black hole. Astronomers estimate that the mass of the central black hole in M31 is about 30 million suns.
If the centre of the galaxy is powered by a black hole, then we will expect to detect X-rays emitting from its surroundings. When nearby materials fall into the black hole due to its strong gravitational force, they will be heated up to millions of degrees, resulting X-ray emission. With the help of X-ray telescopes in the space, astronomers have discovered many celestial X-ray sources. Unlike looking at visible light, the spatial resolution of X-ray optics is not that high in the last two decades. Hence, astronomers often do not know the correct identification of those X-ray sources in a crowded region when comparing to optical images.
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has changed this picture; it provides
the sub-arcsecond resolution equivalent to the spatial resolution of ground-based optical telescopes. Such high resolution enables it to
overcome the problems of source confusion. Soon after the launch in 1999, Chandra provides us fruitful results; one of the major targets is M31. The spatial
resolution of Chandra has been proved to be crucial in studying M31, when it resolves a huge numbers of individual X-ray sources in the central region of M31. In particular, the nucleus of M31 has finally been resolved in X-rays. This result came in only 6 months after the launch of Chandra and an intriguing feature of this observation is the complexity of this very central region. Near the optical counterpart of the double nucleus, Chandra found two sources which were just resolved. Since the positional uncertainty is comparable to the separation between the two sources, astronomers are not sure the true X-ray position of the nucleus, the central supermassive black hole.
Our knowledge has been improved two years after the first observations. A team of
astronomers led by Michael Garcia and myself obtained a deep X-ray image of M31 to
pinpoint the X-ray positions recently. This 11-hour exposure image is constructed by
accumulating 1.5-year Chandra observations, which shows a large numbers of faint X-ray sources. In particular, two X-ray emitting globular clusters near the nucleus are also visible in the Hubble image. This allows us to cross-register both X-ray and optical images to determine the relative positions ten times better than before. This remarkable measurement is very encouraging, as the optical position of the nucleus is almost on top of one of the X-ray sources. The detection of X-rays coming from the centre of the galaxy is a signature for black holes. However, the X-ray flux of the nucleus is weak, which is a long-standing puzzle for astronomers. More Chandra observations will be scheduled in coming years and they may shed light on the nature of the supermassive black hole in M31.

munster, buffet knew full well what he was doing when he took out that ad. the real question is why did he not increase her salary and allow her the use of his accountants? this would allow her to enjoy her increase in salary and avoid the burdensome taxes that are geared toward punishment rather than equity. never thought of that one for old man buffet did ya? don't feel bad, your compadres on your liberal squawk shows didn't either. i guess he did not wish her to be too patriotic....another load of crap that was being peddled by your leaders!

The amazing thing is that our "President" has the gall to talk about fairness.

The CBO has reported that the top 20% of wage earners pay 72% of all income taxes. The Middle 20% pay 8.9% of all taxes. Lots of people are not paying their fair share. The bottom 20% get cash back every year. So there really is a 47%.

The pres is going to make a big speak on immigration. It is said (msnbc) that his plan will focus on amnesty disguised in his words as a path to citizenship. We already have 48 million people on food stamps. The Illegal population is said to be anywhere from 11 million to 20 million. Can we afford to put that many more people into the system? I am not assuming that all will be on food stamps but you could assume that a soon to be democrat will figure out how to game the system and collect. This activity can not help the deficit.

By Denny Thomas and Clare Baldwin
HONG KONG (Reuters) - A deal-making frenzy in Asia's insurance industry is turning up the heat on buyers to fork out huge sums or miss out on a prime chance to tap into the sector's fastest growing market, and few predict a slowdown despite the eye-popping prices.
The appeal of Asia's growing middle class and rising personal income pushed insurance takeovers in the region to a record $30.5 billion last year, according to S&P Capital IQ, a data compiler. At least $5 billion more are in the pipeline and that's good news for bankers, lawyers and shareholders such as Malaysia's AMMB Holdings Bhd
For buyers, soaring valuations and increased competition from foreign newcomers present a tough choice -- either pay through the nose for a scarce, fast-growing business or wait for prices to settle and potentially lose out to nimbler rivals.
There are signs that at least some potential buyers, like South Korea's Samsung Life Insurance Co <032830.KS>, are getting spooked by higher deal valuations. Price to book value (P/B) ratios -- a key metric for valuing banks and insurers -- for Asian deals have risen on average by 13 percent between 2005 to 2012, while the same multiples across the world have shrunk.
"These deals have definitely gotten more expensive," said Manulife's Financial Corp
"You've got to have financial discipline -- a deal is only worth so much," he added.
Asian insurers trade at a median P/B ratio of 1.73, according to Thomson Reuters data, nearly double their peers in the United States and Europe. Some recent deals were struck at nearly twice the median P/B ratio of Asian companies.
Just 5.8 percent of Asia's population is insured, compared with 8.1 percent in the United States, and that is set to drive insurance premium sales in emerging Asia at nearly three times the growth in industrialized nations, Swiss Re says.
Some companies, like ING Groep NV
When India's Punjab National Bank
The sale of ING's Asia insurance and asset management units last March attracted no less than 17 suitors.
That is an extraordinary number of bidders in a region where even just two or three buyers can create a competitive auction.
Also unusual is the terms being commanded by sellers in certain deals.
Malaysia's CIMB Group Holdings Bhd
Not bad for a simple, old industry that even some executives say is boring.
Canadian insurer Sun Life Financial Inc
CIMB did not offer an immediate comment.
Insurance executives will long remember the whopping 9.3 P/B that Japan's MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings Inc <8725.T> paid in 2011 for a 50 percent stake in Indonesian conglomerate PT Asuransi Jiwa Sinarmas' insurance unit.
PT Bank Negara Indonesia Persero Tbk PT (BNI)
"Valuations of recent deals are definitely more reliant on the future value the target companies can generate," said Peter Enns, Goldman Sachs & Co's
Enns warned that a major change in interest rates and a meaningful slowdown in regional GDP growth would impact how these businesses are valued and affect their prospects.
Some suitors are turning cautious. Samsung Life and Japan's Tokio Marine Holdings Inc <8799.T> are among the companies shying away from the BNI auction on fears of overpaying, people familiar with the matter said.
Khazanah recently dropped from the race to buy a minority stake in unlisted Thai Life Insurance Co, a person familiar with the matter said. The auction attracted KKR & Co LP
Even so, plenty of potential buyers are still willing to stomach the high valuations.
Last year Prudential Plc's
In part, higher valuations are supported by extended bank distribution deals. In 2010, Prudential struck a 12 year distribution deal with Singapore's United Overseas Bank Ltd
James Ankers, co-head of Financial Institutions in Asia at Rothschild, expects the active insurance M&A cycle to continue in markets such as Indonesia, even as it reaches a peak in Malaysia.
"But we expect high deal valuations for quality assets to remain," he added.
