FKA twigs knows a thing or two about creating an image for herself. Every song she's released so far, even the four from her self-released debut EP from 2012, has been accompanied by its own video. What these may lack in storyboarding, set design, or anything else, really—"Hide" just features her hypnotically stroking an anthurium that adorns her nude midsection—more than make up for in their ability to draw you close, hold you rapt and keep you wondering just who, exactly, this character called twigs might be.
The British musician and performer born Tahliah Barnett got her start in the pop-industrial complex as a backup dancer in music videos, a career that led, for a spell, to a strange kind of almost-fame—you walk around and you get recognized, but not for being you, necessarily, just for being that girl from the video. And so, she has said, you learn to lie: "No, that's not me. No, I get that a lot." She addresses this situation on her debut album, LP1, with the song "Video Girl". It's actually one of the album's most straightforward songs, but its chorus is unequivocal in its equivocations: "Is she the girl that's from the video?/ You lie and you lie and you lie." And all that artifice, in turn, is a way of making truth out of the lie. Because what is her music, what are her videos, if not an elaborate way of saying, "No, I'm not that girl from the video. This is who I am"?
She hides in plain sight on the cover of LP1, wearing an expression that's—what? Coy? Distant? What exactly is going on there, beneath those strands of just-so curlicue and that weird, plastic sheen across one slick cheek? And that splash of red, what is that supposed to be—a blush, a bruise, a birthmark? Is she a teenybopper post-popped bubblegum, a cartoon character post-exploding cigar? The image expands upon the subtle surrealism of last year's EP2 cover, where her neck was almost imperceptibly elongated, and the more aggressive post-processing of her "Water Me" video, in which her eyes are enlarged, anime-style, until they threaten to pop like a Panic Pete Squeeze Toy. These tweaks are crucial to twigs' eerie, post-humanist, Uncanny Valley-girl aesthetic.
More than anything else, the image reminds me of Björk's Alexander McQueen-designed Homogenic cover, in which the Icelandic singer hovered in the middle distance between larger-than-life pop icon and superflat fantasy gloss like a digital scan of a wax figure. Listening to LP1, it's immediately clear that twigs is aiming for similar heights—and easily capable of scaling them. Quiet as it may be, this is a huge album, a monumental debut. On a formal level, it takes the kinds of risks that few pop artists, and few "experimental" artists, for that matter, are willing to take these days. As far as the making of the artist known as FKA twigs goes, it gives us a sense of who she is without shedding any of the mystique she has developed so far.
Building on her co-produced debut EP with Tic and her Arca-produced EP2, the sound throughout is a crystalline jumble of splinters and shards, of stuttering drum machines cutting against arrhythmic clatter—metronomes winding down, car alarms bleating dully into the night. Her voice, the most awe-inspiring instrument on the album, flits between Auto-Tuned artifice and raw carnality. As an acrobat, she's a natural, but she's not afraid to lean on a little digital enhancement. One minute it's a flash-frozen sigh; the next, it's a melon-balled dollop of flesh. As futuristic as her music is, no single technology dominates. Elastic digital effects brush up against 808s, and icy synth stabs share space with acoustic bass. The common denominator is the crackling sense of dread that persists when the notes go silent and the beat drops out, which is often. The overall effect is that of R&B that has been run through some kind of matter-transporting beam and put together wrong on the other end, full of glitches and hard, jutting artifacts.
The most obvious reference points, aside from the spectrum of breathy, synth-heavy R&B that stretches from Ciara through the Weeknd and Beyoncé, are first-gen trip-hop acts like Portishead and Tricky, with their charcoal-streaked affect and sumptuous sense of texture. There are also clear links to contemporary UK artists working the margins between R&B and electronic music, like James Blake, the xx, and even Sophie, he of the deconstructed Saturday-morning rave choons. Her own vocal style, or at least her stratospheric range, evokes Kate Bush and even Tori Amos. More provocative, though, is the way she and her producers wrangle a whole host of unlikely references into the mix: "Two Weeks" features blushing chords reminiscent of late Cocteau Twins and a junkyard guitar lead straight out of Tom Waits' Rain Dogs. Even more incongruously, "Two Weeks" cribs a fleeting riff from Air Supply's "All Out of Love."
At the same time, it's a testament to the strength of her vision that the album is as cohesive as it is, despite having so many producers involved, including Arca, Devonté Hynes, Clams Casino, and Grammy-winning journeyman Emile Haynie (Eminem's Recovery, Lana Del Rey's "Born to Die" and "Blue Jeans," Kanye West's "Runaway"). Sampha helps out on the brittle "Numbers," a Portishead-gone-footwork number that serves as the album's energetic peak, and, perhaps most surprisingly, Paul Epworth (Adele, Coldplay, the Rapture) is responsible for "Pendulum," the album's literal and emotional centerpiece.
FKA twigs is not a masterful lyricist, at least not yet; some of her couplets feel clunky, like she's grasping in the dark for rhymes and coming up with the objects closest to hand ("If the flame gets blown out and you shine/ I will know that you cannot be mine"). But when she zeroes in on the essence of a thing, she hits hard. The brazen "Two Weeks" features lines as vivid as red welts: "Higher than a motherfucker", "I can fuck you better than her." (The Weeknd only wishes he could make depravity sound so soul-destroyingly desperate.) On top of that, there's a whole thing about pulling out teeth that tips the song into some kind of freaky David Cronenberg territory, making her drugged-up and tied-down fantasies all the more tantalizingly surreal.
If "Two Weeks" represents the album's sensual core, "Pendulum" is the epicenter of the record's underlying sense of heartbreak, with its glum mantra, "So lonely trying to be yours." Lyrically, the song finds twigs at her most plainspoken—it's a long way off from last year's similarly devastating, but far more cryptic, "Water Me"—so it feels significant that it's one of the album's most sonically out-there songs, with a rhythm built out of what sounds like a roulette wheel run amok and its wash of synthesizers like a sky full of fireflies in death spirals.
Early in the song, she sings, "Lately I'm not so present now," and the line goes straight to the crux of FKA twigs' whole identity. After all, this is an artist whose name itself suggests a fundamental displacement. Spelled out, it's "Formerly Known As twigs," (no) thanks to the lawyers of some other artist named Twigs. (Barnett earned her nickname from her habit of cracking her joints like dried sticks; is it any wonder her beats are so brittle?) That "FKA" is a way of masking the bigger question mark. Formerly known as, sure. But who is she now? Are you that girl from the video? "I can't recognize me," she sings at the close of "Video Girl", but for the rest of us, with LP1, she's zooming into vivid focus, and it's impossible to look away.

Israel Police dismisses claims about 'severe' internal scandal
Rabbi Yeshayahu Pinto.
(photo credit:Wikimedia Commons)
The Israel Police responded on Tuesday to recent reports of a "severe scandal"
in the law-enforcement body, insisting that the information making the rounds in
the press was unsubstantiated."We advise reporters and others to avoid
artificially creating something that is nothing but air supported by the
scattering of hints about the leadership of the Israel Police," it
said.It added that the reports were on the brink of violating gag orders
and that "the connection between them and reality is nonexistent."The
police were referring to reports in Haaretz and elsewhere this week that "a
severe scandal is shaking the Israel Police." According to the media, the case
threatens the national police's top brass and will deal a serious blow to public
faith in the organization.The police response came as local media
reported Tuesday that there were new developments in the bribery case against
influential Rabbi Yeshayahu Pinto. The police stressed that the Pinto case or any other singular case could not compromise the reputation of an entire organization adding that the police's reputation could certainly not be shaken by the dramatic statements of some journalists. Last year, Pinto was arrested along
with his wife after police allegedly recorded him giving a briefcase full of
cash to Brig.-Gen.Ephraim Bracha, today the head of the police's
National Fraud Investigative Unit.Police said at the time that Pinto was
trying to bribe Bracha in order to gain information about an investigation into
a charity Pinto ran. However, Pinto denied that charge.Bracha himself
was a follower of the Ashdod- and New York-based rabbi in the past and,
according to people close to Pinto, had previously received economic assistance
from the rabbi.Last week, Channel 10 and Haaretz reported that the
attorney-general had decided to put a hold on the police investigation and the
issuing of an indictment against Pinto, after receiving new information about
the case.Reports have circulated that the information was linked to an
FBI investigation in which Pinto is a witness, as well as his personal
connection to Bracha.Police would not comment on the Pinto case on
Tuesday, saying that the case was not in their hands.The Justice
Ministry would not comment on the case, either, though one source from the
ministry did say that Bracha, whom a ministry probe previously cleared, was not
the subject of a Justice Ministry investigation.

Oil tycoon, auto dealer stump for new energy policies
Green Business Update
Send this to a friend
- Paul Brinkman
Energy independence will only come with sharp increases in gasoline and power costs — and bipartisan support for it.
That was the message delivered by two nationally known businessmen during a Feb. 17 town hall meeting at Nova Southeastern University in Davie.
Texas energy tycoon T. Boone Pickens and AutoNation CEO Mike Jackson, traditional Republicans, declared firm support for President Barack Obama's much-anticipated clean energy initiatives.
"Energy is going to be more expensive if [energy independence] is going to happen, and I'd like to see a leader tell the American people that," said Pickens, chairman of BP Capital Management. "I'm fully on board. I'm a Republican, but I'm an American."
Jackson said the U.S. needs an ambitious program — like President Dwight D. Eisenhower's construction of interstate highways — to end the nation's foreign oil addiction.
"You can only have so much government regulation," he said. "But, on this issue, it's clear that, without a plan, we're going to miss out on all this innovation happening around the world."
Jackson, a longtime advocate of higher gasoline taxes, said he still supports additional taxes to encourage new technology, but not until the economy recovers. Jackson has been involved in lobbying efforts for federal aid to the U.S. automobile industry.
He also spoke about his support for flex fuels and cleaner, more-efficient vehicles, notably plug-in hybrids. Jackson said batteries for electric vehicles are still far too heavy and costly.

Plenty of meeting professionals have been predicting the end of printed materials for quite some time now. As mobile users flock to app stores, it's inevitable that trade shows and conferences will no longer have physical handouts, right? Wrong.
According to a recent study from the Center for Exhibition Industry Research, attendees and exhibitors alike aren't quite ready to embrace the all-digital revolution. The report highlights how exhibitors typically share product information and how their booth traffic actually prefers to receive it. An overwhelming majority of exhibitors - 85 percent - still typically share printed brochures and catalogs on the show floor, and attendees are happy to accept them. Those printed materials still ranked as the number one most preferred method of digesting product information.
SEE ALSO: What Attendees Want from Exhibitors
"Print collateral on premise and post-event is still pervasive, and a good proportion of attendees still want print collateral when they walk the floor," Nancy Drapeau, research director, CEIR, says.
The research echoes what many other marketing professionals are discovering: paper is still special. In an age dominated by hundreds of emails, texts and digital messages, old-school elements such as postcards and brochures are regaining their meaning. While printed materials may shrink in size (let's face it, every attendee probably don't need that 100-page catalog), I wouldn't expect to see them disappear altogether soon.
SEE ALSO: Why Your Meeting Marketing Strategy Shouldn't Go Totally Paperless
Some of the other responses were surprising, too. Twenty-nine percent of attendee respondents indicated that they actually enjoy receiving product information on CD-ROM or disk. To frame this in my millennial perspective, my computer doesn't even have a disk drive.
And remember when QR codes were all the rage? Well, that rage seems to have quieted. Just 14 percent of attendees expressed any degree of excitement about scanning a QR code.

The burgeoning cost of genuine estate continues to keep Indian realty distant from existence for many. Housing loans competence have done shopping a residence easier yet a disproportion between domicile incomes and rising skill prices is widening with any flitting day. Therefore, if a middle-class salaried chairman wants to book a residence on loan, saving for a initial down-payment becomes a wilful factor.
For instance, in a final 3 years, prices in Delhi NCR have roughly doubled, however, industry-wide boost in income has, on an average, left adult by usually 15 percent.
With a fast supervision during a Centre, business sentiments have also turn expansive and it is approaching that housing prices will serve light up, thereby adding serve vigour on a buyer.
Perhaps Indians will also shortly take a root out of a Housing Movement in Taiwan where some-more than 15,000 people staged a sleep-out in front of a oppulance unit complex— The Palace—in Taipei City. The people laid down in front of a oppulance unit formidable in criticism opposite unreasonable housing prices.
Speculation in a genuine estate is also a vital reason for a sky-rocketing prices. Echoing a identical tinge on housing cost speculations, Dr Naresh Bharde, Chairman Managing Director Excellence Shelters Pvt. Ltd. says," The Indian genuine estate marketplace has witnessed a lot of changes post a fourth entertain of FY14. It has been celebrated that a lot of certain changes have seeped into a genuine estate sector."
This conjecture has come about as a outcome of observations around a globe. There is a focused proceed on infrastructure growth and affordable housing for a masses. Across countries, it is a ordinarily hold perspective that genuine estate cycles are a product of speculation, Bharde adds.
"That is, when conjecture drives adult demand, prices ascend and subsequently clamp versa. However, it is evil of genuine estate prices to vacillate on a cyclical basis. In reality, housing prices count not usually on suppositional demand, yet also on supply and a vacillating seductiveness rates," according to Dr Bharde.
In India, investing in skill is hands down, a safest bet. There are always options of going for a empty land or a residential property, depending on one's risk-taking appetite, holding duration and investment size.
In such a situation, what can a home customer do to tackle a disproportion between income contra realty cost rise? Speaking on this sold issue, he said, "One option, that is also gaining traction lately, is to buy rural or empty land. Vacant land gives we a preference of creation an investment yet doing anything," Dr Bharde said.
The costs are most reduce than residential land and this provides a vast upside intensity if it is re-classified as suitable for housing layouts. But during a same time there are certain stipulations for procuring rural lands for NRIs.
However, a improved and safer choice is, to go for a tract in a gated or a residential community. The cost can be aloft by 30-40 percent, yet it comes with a few benefits. "For one, yet we need to perform authorised checks, a land pretension is expected to be purify and intrusion is also reduction expected given a blueprint is fenced. It's thorough of infrastructure such as H2O and energy already set up," combined Bharde.
The participation of these required facilities creates it easier to sell a tract during a after time, bringing high earnings to a owner. For investors in genuine estate, there are several means to shake distinction in a prolonged term, however for residence owners a usually resolution lies in housing reforms. As for now, a residence buyers can wait for accord on a Real Estate Bill scheduled to be introduced in a subsequent event of Parliament.

Qt HiDPI Support Is On Hold For A Few Months
Published on 02 July 2014 09:45 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
12 Comments
Discussed at the Qt Contributor Summit and now turning into an Internet discussion is that the Qt High-DPI support is on hold.
The Qt High-DPI support process allows setting a scale factor (via platform plug-ins, a user environment variable, or potential per-screen configuration files), layering changes to accomodate scaling, QWindow and other platform changes, etc. The
support is of course centered around new monitors that have very high pixel densities (Retina MacBook Pro, many smaller 4K displays, etc) and improving the experience for end-users by avoiding unbearably small text. Qt developers have been working on
HiDPI support for several months
While there's currently outstanding patches for Qt HiDPI support, there are some issues still present and based upon the discussions, the work is on hold. Digia's Sorvig Morten
in the message that started the thread, "Based on the patch reviews on gerrit and some discussion on irc I've decided that we don't have a good enough consensus to merge the patches. I'm putting them on hold until after the summer break at least."
Delaying the Qt HiDPI patches until after the summer puts it out of reach for
Qt 5.4
and potentially Qt 5.5 depending upon how much further work is needed for tidying up the patches.

Traditional Massage Therapy in the Treatment and Management of Lymphedema
By Joachim Zuther, MT, PT
Editor's note: Joachim Zuther is the founder and director of the Academy of Lymphatic Studies in Sebastian, Florida. Mr. Zuther received his massage therapy degree in 1982 and his physical therapist degree in 1984, both from the School for Physical Therapy and Massage in Ulm, Germany.He is also certified in manual lymph drainage and is the director of the Lymphedema Association of North America (LANA).
Lymphedema is a common condition caused by a reduction in the transport capacity of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system in the affected area is unable to respond to an increase in lymphatic loads. Massage therapy increases the amount of lymphatic load and can have negative effects on lymphedema if applied incorrectly.
This article discusses the differences between massage therapy and the techniques known as manual lymph drainage (Vodder Technique) and the proper application of massage therapy when lymphedema is present.
Lymphedema is defined as high-protein edema - an accumulation of water and protein in the tissues, caused by a decrease in the transport capacity of the lymphatic system. Lymphedema may be mild, moderate or severe; most often, it affects the extremities, but can also be present in other parts of the body.
Lymphedema can be classified as primary or secondary. In primary lymphedema, transport capacity is reduced as the result of a congenital malformation in the lymphatic system.6 Primary lymphedema may be present at birth, but more often develops later in life, with or without obvious cause. Secondary lymphedema is more common, and is caused by surgical interventions involving the lymphatic system. Lymph node dissections, radiation therapy, or incisions that disrupt the natural pathways of the lymphatic system affect the ability of the lymphatics to drain lymphatic loads out of the affected extremity. Secondary lymphedema may arise immediately after surgery or years later.
What Are Lymphatic Loads?
The lymphatic system is not a closed circulatory system; it works according to the one-way principle. Its main purpose is to drain from the interstitium substances that cannot be absorbed by the venous end of the blood capillaries. These substances, called lymphatic loads, consist of water, protein, cells and fat.5
What Is the Transport Capacity of the Lymphatic System?
Transport capacity is the highest possible lymph flow per unit of time.4 The relation of the physiological resting lymph flow to the transport capacity of a healthy lymphatic system is approximately 1:10.7 This means that the lymphatic system is able to transport 10 times the volume of the normal amount of lymphatic loads. When primary or secondary lymphedema is present, the transport capacity of the lymphatic system falls below the physiological level of water and protein load (mechanical insufficiency).
Massage Therapy vs. Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD)
The term massage means "to knead" (Gr: massain) and is used to describe forms of "classical" or "Swedish" massage.10 The word is often misused to describe the techniques of manual lymph drainage, which is a gentle, manual treatment technique used in combination with compression therapy, skin care and decongestive exercises. The techniques of MLD are used to effectively treat primary and secondary lymphedema1 and postsurgical and posttraumatic swelling. Migraine headache, chronic venous insufficiencies and edema of other genesis present additional indications. MLD also has a detoxifying effect.
If applied correctly, MLD increases the activity of lymph vessels and moves interstitial fluid; it exerts little pressure on the skin3 and does not cause any increase in local arterial blood flow.
Effects of Massage Therapy on the Skin
The basic strokes used in massage (e.g., petrissage, effleurage, tapotement, vibration and friction) are generally applied with more pressure than manual lymph drainage techniques. The effects of massage strokes are not limited to suprafascial tissues (e.g., the skin), but also cause reactions in subfascial areas such as muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage strokes can increase local arterial blood flow and venous and lymphatic return, and can also loosen subcutaneous adhesions.
Many massage therapy publications list edema as one of the indications for these techniques.8 This statement, while correct, is often misleading if the distinction between edema and lymphedema is not established. Edema is suprafascial tissues can be caused by various problems, including inflammation or impaired venous return (valvular insufficiency, pregnancy, or prolonged sitting and/or standing). With edema, the lymphatic system remains intact but is overloaded. This condition, called dynamic insufficiency, results in the accumulation of water in the tissues. Massage therapy may be beneficial for some forms of edema, but is contraindicated for others. It should not be applied without prior consultation with a physician.
On the other hand, lymphedema is always caused by mechanical insufficiency of the lymphatic system; water and protein accumulates in the tissues. As discussed earlier, in the case of mechanical insufficiency, the transport capacity of the lymphatic system falls below the physiological level of water and protein load and is not able to appropriately respond to an increase in lymphatic loads.
Negative Effects of Massage Therapy on Lymphedema
Most massage strokes cause an increase in arterial blood flow (active hyperemia) in skin areas where such techniques are applied. Active hyperemia is accompanied by an increase in blood capillary pressure and subsequent increase in ultrafiltration of water in the area of the blood capillaries. This process results in more water accumulating in the interstitial spaces. Water represents a lymphatic load. Due to mechanical insufficiency, the lymphatic system will not be able to manage this additional water load. If massage therapy to lymphedemateous tissues, an increase in swelling may result.
Additionally, superficial lymphatics are extremely vulnerable to external pressure. Traditional massage techniques can cause focal damage to anchoring filaments and the endothelial lining of lymph vessels.2 This possible damage to lymphatics, and the potential increase in arterial blood flow, must be avoided.

Apparently, people with the gastrointestinal disorder irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) find it especially beneficial. However, it's not clear whether this is the case because the massage that accompanies the pressure point touching is an excellent stress reliever, or because of some other as-yet-undetermined cause.

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 10/20/14
Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star writes that WR Dwayne Bowe is unlikely to reach a long-term agreement with the Chiefs in the weeks to come, which is a pretty good indication that his time in Kansas City is probably coming to an end. Teicher admits that there's still a chance something could get done or the Chiefs could always franchise him for the second straight season. However, that comes with a pretty high cost given that the CBA requires an additional 20 percent to added to the average of the top-five salaries for the player's position. Bowe played out this season under $9.5 million franchise tender before he was lost for the season with a rib injury. The Chiefs offense needs a lot of work and they have two quality offensive lineman, Branden Albert and Ryan Lilja, to address leading up to or during free agency. We have Bowe listed as the No. 5 best available free agent in our Top 50 Free Agents list. The post Dwyane Bowe Unlikely To Be Back In KC Next Year? appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors.

After a quick flashback hinting that there's more back story to the vanilla character of Dr. Jean Grey than we'd previously thought, Last Stand picks up shortly after the end of X2. Grey (Famke Janssen) is gone, crushed beneath the waves that flooded through the dam at Alkali Lake as she tried to save her X-friends. We can tell Cyclops (James Marsden) is still grieving because his hair is messy and he hasn't shaved in days. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) grouchily fills in for him as a substitute teacher at the school for the gifted, headmastered by Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) ' although how Wolverine can weather soul-killing Storm (played by diva Halle Berry, who unfortunately negotiated a bigger role post-Oscar) is beyond comprehension. (At least he's got a cigar to chomp on in frustration; the audience is just stuck with her.)
Soon enough, though, our wonderful walking set of steak knives has bigger problems ' word of a mutant "cure" begins to circulate, a government-administered serum that will erase all mutations and thus restore harmony to the races. Of course, it will do this by completely eliminating one of them for all intents and purposes, but really, who's counting? Interestingly, this development occurs nearly simultaneously with the resurrection of Jean Grey as her raging, red-haired alter ego, Phoenix. Coincidence? Perhaps, perhaps not. But aren't we lucky that she comes back early enough to do in Cyclops and put audiences out of his moping misery? Oh yes, mild-mannered Jean's gotten a new groove, and this time she's a vampy, trampy, all-powerful sidekick to Magneto (Ian McKellen). Nobody ' particularly Xavier ' puts this baby in a corner. The series' other fatal femme, Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), should feel threatened.
As usual, the mutants can't band together and combat this notion of a cure because they're too busy fighting with each other. Magneto, predictably, goes on an unrighteous rampage ' "never again" is tattooed on his soul at least as indelibly as the concentration-camp number on his wrist. And so it's up to the X-Men to once again stand between Magneto's rabble-rousing forces and trouble-making mankind, even if some in their number ' the untouchable Rogue (Anna Paquin) ' contemplate the cure. Oh, yeah, and Iceman (Shawn Ashmore) and Pyro (Aaron Stanford) still hate each other.
All of which is all over the map, but wouldn't be so awful if the script, penned by Zak Penn and Simon Kinberg, weren't so awful itself. Major questions about the cure ' and its subsequent use ' remain unanswered. A young boy (Jimmy, aka Leech, played by Cameron Bright) whose superpower is to block other mutant's superpowers is introduced as the source of the cure, but common-sense questions abound on this front as well and are never addressed. Worse, the writers miss a chance to tell a relevant story about tolerance and diplomacy that's just crying to be crafted. Instead, the writing is sloppy, a mishmash of too-many-to-name X-Men characters (including Kelsey Grammer as Beast) who are introduced only to be thrown away.
And the supposed-to-be-heart-stopping second-to-last scene is a yawner, which is further undercut by the utter nonsense of the happy-ending conclusion that comes on its heels. (Although ' in Ratner's defense ' the final, final shot of the film piques audience interest once again.) But for a movie that ultimately kills off a handful of crowd favorites, Last Stand elicits few emotional responses other than indignation. Singer brought life and atmosphere to his two films, even if neither was exactly plot perfect.
Ratner makes his fake and automatic, as simulated as the war games that train the younger X-Men.
Last Stand feels like the troubled, artistic orphan it became when Singer jumped ship to spearhead the Man of Steel movie. So here's hoping this is indeed the last stand of the title, twisty ending notwithstanding. Judging from this effort, it's the last of the X-Men that we can actually stand. Superman Returns better be great, Bryan Singer. You owe us.
OCT 30 If you're a Louisiana native of (ahem) a certain age, you might have fond (or fuzzy, as the case may be) memories of a Zebra concert and singing "Who's Behind the Door" until your ears rang. This post on NOLA Defender profiles the leader of that band, Randy Jackson.
OCT 30 The National Journal offers this analysis of Bobby Jindal's willingness to stump in any Senate campaign that's not in Louisiana. Why is that? The Journal asks some GOPers and finds that the answer is one we already know: he's so unpopular here, because he's been so busy running for President, that his support might be "toxic."
OCT 30 If you're not obsessed with the Texas governor's race - what's wrong with you? Here's another installment, from our own IND contributor Lamar White Jr., who explains why Wendy's "infamous" wheelchair ad was a shock to the national media - but not to anyone familiar with Greg Abbott's record.
OCT 30 Blogger Tom Aswell is still all over the OGB mess - and all by himself, apparently. In this post, he's revealing orders from the Jindal administration to destroy records from the state employee health insurance plan. Those orders (he's heard) have angered the Secretary of State and caused an administration lawyer to quit her job. Wow!
OCT 30 Blogger Crazy Crawfish is taking aim at state Superintendent John White again, this time for comments White made recently, claiming that there is no real opposition to Common Core in Louisiana. Crawfish is documenting proof to the contrary here, and lays down the gauntlet to "mainstream news media." (Don't hold your breath on that one, buddy.)
OCT 30 Gambit covers Advocate publisher John Georges' recent visit to Loyola in this post. Georges touches on how things are going in this new gig, what he thinks about the Pic's decision to move printing to Alabama, and how he feels about his political campaigns.
OCT 30 A NOLA lady has alleged she was drugged and raped at a Bywater club that had a clothing-optional policy until recently, and she's now become the victim of a smear campaign, columnist Jarvis DeBerry writes in this post. She chose to reveal her story and her name, and she's being punished for that now, he says.
OCT 30 BESE member Lottie Beebe pens this letter to the editor of the Advocate about the state Department of Education. The DOE isn't exempt from the state public records law, and because of recent lawsuits she tried to require regular reports about how many requests had been made to the department and how many remained unanswered. She wasn't successful.
OCT 29 Manny Schewitz blogs on Forward Progressives about recent Facebook posts from David Vitter, including one that purports to take you to a petition to stop Ebola (say what?) but actually signs you up for his newsletter or campaign email list or some such nonsense. Dave must think we're dummies, Manny says -- and Dave's probably right.
OCT 29 Usually, the copy on Red Shtick is satire. But in this post "from the publisher," we get a pretty astute political analysis of Edwin Edwards' charisma and old-school populist swagger. Edwards isn't concealing billionaire backers, or trying to make his opponent out to be "Satan," the post says. He's just running. Huh; imagine that.
OCT 29 Salon's Elias Isquith writes this fairly hilarious commentary on a National Review post about Bobby Jindal's attempts to "beef up" in preparation for a presidential run. But it's not just funny; Isquith seems to have Bobby's number, commenting on how the Gov "and his team are hopelessly ensconced in the Tea Party bubble."

Renan Barao Signs New Three-Fight Deal Heading Into UFC 173
UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao will attempt to secure his fourth straight title defense against TJ Dillashaw in the main event of tonight's (May 24, 2014) UFC 173 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The dominant Nova Uniao-trained Barao recently made the news for stating that he was hoping to get a better contract with the UFC, but "The Baron" soon spoke up to clarify that he wasn't unhappy with his current situation.
What's more, Barao recently told ESPN Brazil that he has now gotten his contract completely sorted out by signing a new three-fight deal with the UFC:
"My contract has just been renewed. Any controversy was clarified. Now I have three more fights ahead, and everything is great. Everything is working as planned. Who takes care of this is Dede, and all is well, everything well."
Barao is speaking of famed trainer and mentor Dede Pederneiras, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu master who trained BJ Penn and now counts featherweight champion Jose Aldo and Barao as his two most prominent students at Nova Uniao.
UFC president Dana White said that Barao has usurped his good friend Aldo as the world's No. 2-ranked pound-for-pound fighter, but Barao said that wasn't the case, at least not yet:
"Oh no, do not think so. Aldo is still the best. He is the best in the category and I in mine. We are showing our work. I was very happy for the recognition, which is the fruit of my labor. But I'm coming now."
The surging "Baron" has high respect for Aldo, who has drawn a decent amount of criticism as of late, with most of it centered on his supposedly safe fighting style that is running low on recent finishes.
And with Barao taking out top-flight contenders like Urijah Faber, Eddie Wineland, and Michael McDonald in rapid succession, he's getting closer to clearing out his division than any other UFC champion.
While the Brazilian talent isn't the most marketable star as of yet, his skills are beginning to speak for themselves. Now he has a new contract in place, which is one less distraction heading into tonight's main event. Will that spell certain doom for Dillashaw?

Iraq cabinet makes concessions on de-Baathification law
Cabinet unveils sweeping reforms to law barring members of Baath party from public life as part of moves to placate angry rallies by Sunnis.
Middle East Online
By Ammar Karim and Salam Faraj – BAGHDAD
Will Maliki challenge Sunnis' demands?
Iraq's cabinet unveiled sweeping reforms to a law barring members of Saddam Hussein's Baath party from public life on Sunday as part of moves to placate angry rallies by the country's Sunnis.
The amendment to the De-Baathification law still needs to be approved by parliament, where it is expected to face stiff opposition, but it is among a raft of concessions to demonstrators who have alleged that the Shiite-led authorities unfairly target the Sunni community.
The protests since December lie at the heart of a political dispute that has pitted Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, who is Shiite, against several of his erstwhile national unity government partners, in particular those from Sunni and Kurdish parties.
Ministers on Sunday approved a draft amendment that would allow Baath party branch chiefs, or firqa-level members, to rejoin the civil service, and would provide for pension payments for many members of the Fedayeen Saddam, a paramilitary organisation loyal to the now-ousted dictator.
It would also put a time limit on the law, ensuring that only names blacklisted by the end of 2013 would be restricted from public life.
In all, the draft law would allow thousands of people to either enter the civil service or receive pensions.
Cabinet also approved amendments to laws on the use of secret informants and the seizure of property, both of which are major frustrations to the Sunni Arab community.
"Cabinet today approved an important amendment to the law of Justice and Accountability," Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlak said in a statement summarising the reforms, referring to the formal name for Iraq's De-Baathification law.
"This law has excluded many talented people and prevented the country from (benefiting from) their services."
Critics have said the existing rules are too broad-reaching, disproportionately target Sunni Arabs, who were largely in power during Saddam's rule, and could theoretically be applied in perpetuity.
In particular, Sunni Arab protesters have railed against the law during months of protests alleging that anti-terror legislation is used to target their minority.
"This is a step towards moving to a new phase, away from phobia of the Baath party," said Ihsan al-Shammari, a politics professor at Baghdad University. "I think the government made a good move here."
But, Shammari said, the proposal was likely to face opposition in the Shiite-dominated south of Iraq that, along with the northern Kurdish region, faced the brunt of Saddam's wrath.

SOBE Wine & Food Festival hosted Burger Bash
Updated On: Feb 23 2013 05:54:37 PM EST
Top chefs from across the country faced off at the Amstel Light Burger Bash, at this year's South Beach Wine & Food Festival, Friday night.
The chefs were putting their own twist on an American classic: the burger.
Chef Michael Symon was in attendance. He won the last three times. But he was facing fierce competition from New York Chef Josh Capon. Capon is also a three time Burger Bash winner.
"We are the belt, we are the trophies, we are the hardware," Capon said.
"Rumble in the jungle, baby, rumble in the beach, me versus Symon, we are both tied at three apiece," Capon added.
"It's the best chefs in the country, everyone wants to win," Symon said. "I'm just happy to be here."
Renowned celebrity chef Rachael Ray was the host of the cook-off.
"It's a tough year," Ray said.
Chef Symon and Chef Capon ended up being tied for second place. It was 'The Sandwich King' Jeff Mauro who was crowned the winner.
"I'm just happy to be at the festival," said Capon.
