Annie BarrowsDescribe your new book.
The adventures of Ivy and Bean continue in Ivy and Bean Break the Fossil Record, in which our girls along with the entire second grade catch world-record fever. How many spoons can you hang on your face? Can you really shatter a glass by screaming? How much candy can you eat in a minute? When Bean's attempt to stuff 257 straws in her mouth falls short by 217 straws, she and Ivy decide to turn their attention elsewhere. Specifically, to Bean's backyard, where a little exploratory digging reveals a cache of dinosaur bones. Ta da! Ivy and Bean have broken a record they're the youngest paleontologists in the world! The only problem is that nobody in the second grade believes them. Together, Ivy and Bean are determined to defy the doubters, defend their record, achieve fame, and most important of all have as much fun as possible.
Right at the moment my favorite family story isn't about my family, and it isn't really even a story. It's just a piece of information: my aunt's first date was with a boy who had seven older sisters. When he was five years old, his sisters had buried him alive with a soda straw to breathe through. My aunt said he was nice boy, but nervous.

Social media case studies for non-profit organizations
I find it's pretty rare that you come across good, fresh case studies of how non-profit organizations are using social media. And I'm not talking about "we use Facebook, too." I mean something that shows how an NGO actually managed to get a concrete, measurable result with the help of social media.
"10 tactics for turning information into action" from Tactical Tech is such a rare example. 10 tactics is first and foremost a one hour long movie, but it's also (watch out, here comes a buzzword) a toolkit. But in this case the name "toolkit" is actually justified. The DVD arrives with a set of cards that summarize the examples from the movie, give links to further resources and try to point you in the right direction in case you'd like to try this particular tactic yourself. The cards are also included on the DVD as PDFs.
10 tactics focuses on human rights, but a lot of the techniques can be applied in other contexts as well.
So, why don't you get a few colleagues from your office and few more from friendly organizations close to you together and host a screening? It's good fun, the examples are well researched and presented and it gives you a chance to look beyond what you are familiar with. And best of all, all materials are free (so far)! Check it out: http://www.informationactivism.org/

Looking young in old age
A religious woman and a female soldier pray at the Western Wall..
(photo credit:MARC ISRAEL SELLEM/THE JERUSALEM POST)
My husband is 82 years old and his very dark hair started graying in his early 30s.By the time he was in his 50s, it was already completely white. His hair has thinned out, but it still covers his whole head. Strangely, over the last few months, his hair is growing out black. Can you explain this phenomenon? – R.S., Tel Aviv Veteran Jerusalem dermatologist Dr. Julian Schamroth replies: It is physically impossible for aged, gray hair to return to its original color. Once the hair follicle stops producing melanin pigment, there is nothing that can be done to restore color apart from using dyes.There is, however, a rare – but interesting – situation in which hair color can change to white and then revert back to black.There is a disorder known as alopecia areata, in which one's hair suddenly starts falling out. It may be patchy, or the entire scalp hair can be lost. If, however, one has a mixture of black and white hairs on the scalp and one develops alopecia areata, then only the black hairs will fall out and the white hairs will persist. Should the condition resolve itself, black hairs will start growing again.Interestingly there is a famous story about this condition, which we read about in the Passover Haggada.Rabbi Elazar Ben-Azariah said: "I am like a man of 70 years, and yet I was never able to merit to prove that one is obligated to mention the Exodus at night..."The Talmud asks the obvious question. Why did Rabbi Elazar Ben-Azariah say: "I am like a man of 70 years?" It answers that he was a young man of 18 when asked to become head of the academy, and so consulted his wife. She said to him, "You have no white hair."With his young appearance, he would have been unable to obtain the respect and reverence due to someone in high position. Miraculously, his hair turned white.Without minimizing the miracle, one could explain this by saying that he suddenly developed alopecia areata. If the disorder healed, he would have regained his dark hairs.My wife, who is 86 years old, contracted cellulitis (erysipelas) some 30 ago. The condition infrequently recurred over the years. However in the last two or three years it has reappeared much more often.Since the spring, she has had five reoccurrences.The last three have been two days after visiting the chiropodist. Her toenails are fibrous, and she needs expert treatment.She was in the hospital six weeks ago, and her doctor suggested that before and after a visit to the chiropodist she should bathe her foot with alcohol.She did this, but nevertheless two days later she again became feverish and the cellulitis returned.She is treated with the antibiotic Cephoral, and the hospital doctor suggested she continue with one tablet of penicillin per day for three months, however, the condition still returned. When the infection returns, the front of her leg becomes very red, but the color disappears with antibiotic treatment.Our family doctor doesn't know what to do. Can you solve the problem? C.A., Jerusalem Prof. Amnon Lahad, director of the family medicine department at the Jerusalem district of Clalit Health Services and head of the family medicine department at the Hebrew University Medical Faculty, comments: I don't have all of your wife's medical details, but it seems to me that she probably suffers from type 2 diabetes. If so, her sugar levels must be checked and balanced. It also seems to me that she should get a new chiropodist, as the one you have probably does not clean his implements properly. The nails on her feet have to be trimmed properly – straight across with some nail left sticking out a bit on the sides, and not rounded. An expert in infections at a local health fund clinic should be consulted.Rx for Readers welcomes queries from readers about medical problems. Experts will answer those we find most interesting.

Former NYT journo Gay Talese recalls the alcohol-fuelled newsrooms of yore, which he claims made the characters on Mad Men look like amateurs.
But did a diet of booze and smokes really make for more creative writers, as many old hacks claim? On the contrary, says Talese, it's amazing the paper ever got out at all.

You know there are a lot more industries that thrived through the 80's and 90's with bottles in the drawer and extended lunches and hazey afternoons. Universities are notorious with the subsidised alcohol in the union bars, and mixes of different disciplines always assured lots of colourful and half-witted debate.

Naples, Italy
Centro Direzionale
NO EXPO, Milano, Ottobre 2014.
So lately I've been in this part of my city I had never been before, the Centro Direzionale of Naples.
It's a relatively new area, built only a couple of decades ago, that hosts a variety of offices and administrative buildings, such as the Courthouse, and even a Church. The only reason I went there in the first place was that I had to deliver some burocratic papers.
And honestly, I was amazed. Maybe this is extremely common elsewhere and I realize I may look like a country guy going to town, but if you've ever been in Italy you will know that its architecture style is classic, ranging from renaissance to a 1800's style, and this was the first time I had seen so many modern building here, in my own city in Italy. Roads were built underground, there were plenty of space to walk, from large avenues, decorated with plenty of green plants, to the cute galleries between buildings, with shops and workers hanging around taking a break. My comment was "hey, this looks like a northern europe city!"
So why had I never been there? It saddens me, but this beautiful zone is basically only for offices. Beside its sheer elegance, there's not much else that would attrack people, it feels somewhat sterile, and apparently it becomes a ghost town during festive days. And it's a shame, if you ask me.
ieri ho fatto l'esame FCE del Cambridge ed è stata una giornata estenuante ma piacevole. devo dire che il centro direzionale mi è sempre piaciuto fin da quando ero piccolo e quindi aver fatto l'esame lì ha aiutato. nonostante l'ansia e la paura di poter fallire, sono soddisfatto del mio lavoro durante l'anno, anche se è stato il minimo ed indispensabile.
adesso l'estate è davvero cominciata.

Report: Food safety a growing problem
Published: November 17,2009
Tags: Add new tag, federal agency, food safety
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service (ERS) has released its annual report on Household Food Security in the U.S., which revealed that in 2008, 17 million households, or 14.6 percent, were food insecure and families had difficulty putting enough food on the table at times during the year.
This is an increase from 13 million households, or 11.1 percent, in 2007. The 2008 figures represent the highest level observed since nationally representative food security surveys were initiated in 1995.
This year's report also reveals that one-third of food insecure households had very low food security (food intake of some household members was reduced and their eating patterns disrupted at times during the year). This is 5.7 percent of all U.S. households, or about 6.7 million. This is up from 4.7 million households (4.1 percent) in 2007, and the highest level observed since nationally representative food security surveys were initiated in 1995.
Even when resources are inadequate to provide food for the entire family, children are usually shielded from the disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake that characterize very low food security. However, children as well as adults experienced instances of very low food security in 506,000 households (1.3 percent of households with children) in 2008, up from 323,000 households (0.8 percent of households with children) in 2007.

The only people in here screaming vehemently that AH flipping is just and good, are the ones who do it.
First, the argument that it is somehow the seller's fault for pricing an item too low. There is no too low - the seller has every right to sell an item for any amount he or she sees fit.
Second, and all else that needs to be said is this:
Auction House Terms of Use:
11 Restrictions and conditions of use:
(B) You will not:
(iii) " use the auction house as an investment vehicle"
Because gold has a real money value associated to it, by flipping items on the GAH, and obviously the RMAH, you are using the AH as an "investment vehicle" and are therefore in violation of the auction house terms of usage.
It therefore follows that Blizzard should implement controls to prevent this from happening, such as timers, or not allowing an item to be re-listed for more than 115% of it's AH purchase price. Since they would simply be enforcing their own terms of usage
You can't compare this AH economy to the real world. It is a video game
How can this be any simpler?

SatanSweeps #1927
Like others have said all this would do is remove gold as the de facto currency. That is the flippers are still going to buy the item listed by doofus for 1/10th its value and just get emeralds or mempo's or whatever the heck it turns out to be. Except then people will have no easy way to know what anything is worth. No thanks.
Show me a law saying flipping items is wrong? Or is it your wise minds thinking cause your poor?
Well there is no law goofy, it is outlined in the AH terms of usage that is several inches above your post.
This OP is making me laugh so hard. Flipping the AH is just how it works, if people didnt buy them at the higher prices you wouldnt see it.
The game needs more gold sinks, not flipping removed.
JaceAltair #2678
Show me a law saying flipping items is wrong? Or is it your wise minds thinking cause your poor?
You couldn't be more wrong, let me quote my self and several other people including a Lawyer's point of view;
Buying and Selling = Flipping. . . no difference.
I will try to make this easy. Part of Diablo is to build wealth. You can do this through playing the game and magic finding or gold finding. Or, you can do this through providing services such as powerleveling, key hunting, or boss killing. Or, you can do this through the market by buying low and selling high. Heck, you could even do it by wagering on pvp matches (when pvp is implemented of course). Every single one of the methods above are completely legitimate ways to build wealth in this game.
I read the TOU, yes I did it.
I can't believe this topic is still going. The FAQ quoted way earlier makes it perfectly clear that you can buy an item off the AH and immediately relist it. The FAQ makes no mention of any prohibition against doing so for the purpose of making a profit, despite the fact that profit is the most immediate and obvious reason for buying an item and immediately relisting it. If there were such a prohibition, Blizzard would have mentioned it there. Instead, they did the opposite and explicitly said "Go ahead, buy items and immediately relist them." They said this without any disclaimer about your intent to profit or not, which disclaimer people in this thread have just made up out of whole cloth.
If these are not clear enough for you? Then you seriously have some comprehension issues.

The only people in here screaming vehemently that AH flipping is just and good, are the ones who do it.
Stop lying... I dont flip and it isnt bad... You are just a cry baby. Market value is market value. People finding deals isnt increasing market value. You just missed the deal. Pull up your big boy pants and deal with it. Blizzard has touted the free market AH as a boon and it will thus remain that way or they are hypocrites. BLIZZARD HAS TOUTED THE FREE MARKET AH. They showed it off like a trophy prom date.
Someone putting a price low for whatever reason and someone buying it for whatever reason is not an investment vehicle in and of itself. Its responding to whatever naturally came into both the buyer and seller players view.
Why would you state something as such a fact when it is so easily counterable? I dont flip. 99%+ of my game wealth comes from items I found and sold. I think flipping is natural and good. Soooooooo.. Here is your proof that you are DEAD wrong just beginning with your beginning only.

Whiners got to be stop! Items should just fall from the sky, free of charge. All flippers should just go flip eggs instead. Gold should be obtain with an email to blizzard asking for free gold. Auction house needs to be stop, just don't play, simple, everything stops.
Edited by PaydayTime#1731 on 11/30/2012 10:47 AM PST
Can not believe some people think auction house flipping is a problem...... I guess its the same people that wish the items where handed to them. Whats the hell is up with socialism being accepted in this day and age when, it is proven to fail... and fail hard.
I don't see anything wrong with AH flipping. It's part of the game. If you see a steal why wouldn't you take advantage of that. What a stupid post...
These posts about the AH always make me wonder how many emails Ebay must get a day from butthurt people who think it's unfair they lost an auction...
We have a socialist here. Look AH flipping WILL ALWAYS BE. Who cares if some meatball under sells an item, and some one else buys it and resells it at a profit. Happy bidding.
Just and fyi, I don't flip, but I do see the AH as a forum designed for buying and selling items, hopefully so two parties go away happy. Capping the next sale at the previous sales amount is plain retarded. Straight up!
Edited by Kush#1975 on 11/30/2012 11:00 AM PST
I am against the no flipping policy of Blizzard- point is someone paid more for something than you were willing to. His motivation for doing so is none of your business.
I always felt the same way...
I would perfer there wasn't and RMAH... (but i realize third party sites would profit in a huge way and the problem really wouldn't be solved).... However since the RMAH AND GAH do exist, People have a right to use it how they wish. It's a free world after all.
Does it suck.. yea. But life isn't fair, and it wouldn't be fun if it was.
On another note. Last night I was browsing the GAH AND RMAH, and stumbled accross what I thought to be a super sweet deal in the RMAH. When I woke up I tested the item out, and it was indeed fun. It was almost time for work though, and I thought.. Hmmmm maybe If i sold it in the GAH i can double or tripple my value. So I put said item up for 1.5 billion ( a bit over what I think is a fair price) as it's at the top of it's class. IF it sells I'll be extremely happy and if not i'm still happy.
I never attempted something like this before.. But it's fun trying.
Point of advice though... I've also noticed that the better deals seem to be tuesdays through thursday... I imagine cause people with jobs and going to school need sleep and can't play as much. So snag your good deal on those days and the same item can probably sell for more on Friday's saturdays and sundays.

Who is Frazier Glenn Miller? History, Details and Information of the Anti-Semite Suspect Involved in Jewish Center Shootings
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Gopi Chandra Kharel | April 14, 2014 5:30 PM EST
A Missouri man, who is reported to have a long history of anti-Semitism, is suspected of killing a boy and his grandfather outside a Jewish community center in Kansas City, and a woman at another Jewish assisted living facility located nearby.
Although police in Overland Park, Kansas has not called Sunday's attacks a hate crime, the suspect, now recognized as Frazier Glenn Miller, has received a spate of condemnation on social media for being an Anti-Semite.
Who is Frazier Glenn Miller?
Frazier Glenn Miller is the founder and former leader of the defunct Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the White Patriot Party, the CNN reports.
The 73-year-old, who also goes by the name Frazier Glenn Gross, or simply Glenn Miller, was previously convicted of criminal charges related to weapons and violation of an injunction against paramilitary activity.
Miller has been long known to advocate ideas related to white nationalism, white separatism and anti-Semitism. He is also a staunch critic of homosexuality and Third World immigration into historically White nations.
As a member of the racist hate group, "The Order", which reportedly advocated violence against Jews and African-Americans, Miller was allegedly involved in the assassination of Denver, Colorado radio talk show host, Alan Berg, in 1984.
Known to be a prominent public face of the neo-Nazi white supremacist movement, he has appeared on television in different occasions as a spokesperson for white supremacist views, the Inquisitr notes. He was even interviewed on The Howard Stern Show.
According to a booking report released by the Johnson Country Sheriff's Office,Miller resides in Aurora, Missouri. He was booked on charges of first-degree premeditated murder. The ABC News reports that a call to Miller's wife confirmed that Miller charged for the Jewish Centre shooting is the same Glenn Miller widely known as a paramilitary far-right extremist.
Having staged three political campaigns from 1884 through 1986, Miller was finally arrested in North Carolina for operating a paramilitary training camp. Although he was released on bond, he soon fled and became a fugitive.
In 1987, however, he was captured in Missourri. New York Times' story published on May 1, 1987 says that he had "threatened a war against blacks, Jews and the Federal Government and violated the terms of his bond."
Sunday's Shooting
The shootings happened at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City in Overland park and at the Village Shalom Retirement Community in Leawood. The incident took place only a day before the start of the major Jewish spring festival, Passover.

When people steal from the state through benefit fraud (usually out of desperation), there's public outcry. But when the state steals from the people by failing to provide even a basic standard of living, whilst corruption and tax evasion runs unchecked, we're told it's all part of a necessary strategy for economic recovery.
There has to be a balanced approach by world leaders and humans in general to the death of civilians irrelevant of race, ethnicity, nationality or religion. President Obama's selective wording in which crimes a 'Just God' would stand by and stand against is as farcical as his statements on global peace and stability.

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of accounts on Twitter that promote and justify killings of civilians in Iraq, as well as Kurdistan. Some of the accounts tweet in Arabic, but have a English disclaimer that says, "Not IS". Other accounts are promoting IS ideological beliefs and urging others to join IS.
Since 9/11 and the subsequent terrorist attacks which have taken place in the West, Muslims have been entrapped in a vicious circus show called "Not in my name". This circus show entails guilt by association of faith, and the never-ending apologies and condemnations that Muslims are forced to make for crimes allegedly committed in the name of Islam.
Apparently we are presented with two monochromatic sides of this argument, Team Israel vs. Team Gaza, and failure to select one on the basis of who is or is not a terrorist means that your opinion is unlikely to rear its humdrum head in mainstream news or grant you a few thousand followers on Twitter.
As the conflict in Gaza continues, it has become apparent that the Western world has a propensity to attempt to view war through the simplistic prism of 'good' and 'evil'... we seek to condemn and blame one side, whilst reconciling ourselves with the actions of the other.

Resonant Frequency
Disintegration Loops and Simplesongs
Mark Richardson discusses the music that has shaded his memories of 9/11.
By Mark Richardson , September 9, 2011
In the back page "Epiphanies" column of the current issue of UK music magazine The Wire, the critic Hua Hsu described his experiences on 9/11. He was living in New York and, as it turned out, The Wire badly needed him to file an album review. So he dutifully listened to the compilation Tellus Tools and wrote about it as chaos raged a few miles away from his apartment. The absurdity of the scene he describes, writing a short review of an obscure piece of sound art while thousands of bodies lie crushed beneath the pile of what used to be buildings, was familiar.
Like everyone, I have strong memories of that day and the weeks that followed: watching television every night until I couldn't stay awake any longer and calling all the people close to me. I also remember what it was like trying to return to my routine while all this was going on. Even though no one I knew personally was involved and I had few significant connections to New York City at the time, it was difficult.
"When we're feeling wrenching pain and considering the deep suffering of real people, the lack of clear differentiation between art and life can seem obscene."
Pitchfork didn't publish the rest of the week after 9/11. I was a freelance contributor then, so I don't know the exact reasoning, but it made sense: We all needed a break. A few days later we were about to resume our coverage and I needed to file a review. That week, I received a copy of an album called Collected Simplesongs of My Temporary Past by the Cologne-based instrumental synth-pop project Schlammpeitziger. I wasn't looking forward to writing a review because it seemed so beside the point, but when I saw the package with this CD, I thought, "OK, I can do this." It was a comp and I was already a fan, so I knew the material well. And the specific character of the music was another plus; Zimmerman used cheap-sounding keyboards but he knew how to write a bouncy tune. His song titles were funny and there was an overarching sense of playfulness. He made music that didn't need to mean anything-- it was sound that was there to be enjoyed if you wanted it. It was an odd and unassuming little project that, to me, seemed to serve no other purpose but to bring a little joy into the world. I could get behind that.
* * *
Music aestheticizes our lives. We walk around with headphones on and the sound colors everything we see. While listening Belle and Sebastian's "Ease Your Feet Into the Sea" maybe life becomes something like a Wes Anderson movie, and the cute haircut on a girl waiting for the subway seems choreographed for that moment. Listen to Masonna's Inner Mind Mystique and some random bored faces suddenly look gripped with pain. In 1983, the Japanese musicologist Shuhei Hosokawa wrote an article called "The Walkman as Urban Strategy" and said that the then-new device "provides the possibility of a private soundscape and provokes the dramatization of the walk act and the theatralization of a street." We all know that feeling, but this "theatralization" might happen more easily when starting from a neutral emotional place. Putting an aesthetic layer on top of suffering can feel wrong.
This is partly why people reacted so strongly when German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen said that the attacks were "the greatest work of art imaginable for the whole cosmos" just five days after 9/11 (the precise translation of his German phrase varies a bit). Stockhausen was rightly castigated for his remarks, which were possibly taken out of context as he was discussing the ideas of chaos and destruction in his own work. But one reason his comments were initially so horrifying is that this man seemed to have no desire whatsoever to separate "art" from "life." Most of the time we don't worry so much about that line because the stakes are reasonably low. But when we're feeling wrenching pain and considering the deep and true suffering of real people, the lack of clear differentiation can seem obscene.
"The images of the towers collapsing bring us to the into the mindset of people experiencing a solar eclipse 50,000 years ago, witnessing a phenomenon that seemed utterly impossible only minutes before."
My experience of 9/11 came entirely through television, photographs, and the printed word-- all mediums I turn to for aesthetic experiences. And if you go to YouTube now you can find clips of the towers burning and collapsing that have millions of views. It's good that they are there, of course-- people need to remember-- but obviously not everyone watching is reverent of the day's events. Some are watching for the same reason they watch films of tornados-- to absorb the enormity of the massive shifting of matter on a scale that we've never experienced in person. The images of the towers collapsing bring us to the into the mindset of people experiencing a solar eclipse 50,000 years ago, witnessing a phenomenon that seemed utterly impossible only minutes before. It's a shift in consciousness, which is something that art tries for, too, and I think the power of this shift is what Stockhausen was getting at in his own clumsy way. It's something he strove for and, being an artist who spent his days thinking about how to inspire it in others, he couldn't help but notice that it was happening on his television on a scale that he had never even contemplated.
Over time, and it didn't take long, I could listen to music that reminded me of something about 9/11, and the feeling of the music could mix with the feelings of that event, and it didn't feel strange. I had my moment when I first considered Laurie Anderson's "O Superman" in the context of that day, her flatly delivered line "here come the planes" making the whole thing seem like an inevitability she knew about 20 years earlier. There was a singer-songwriting named Frankie Sparo recording for Constellation, and he had a song called "Diminish Me New York" that was written before 9/11 but had lines like, "It's so hard to feel tall, everything is tall, magnificent New York," which made me think of skyscrapers that no longer touch the sky. It gradually began to feel close to normal to connect this act of listening, which so recently seemed tiny and insignificant, with what happened.
But sometimes it didn't work. In 2004, William Basinski put out The Disintegration Loops DVD, which included sound from the four-volume set of the same name (that project it built around recordings of loops of symphonic music that decays and eventually disappears as it passes over the tape heads) with a single, hour-long shot of a smoldering Manhattan on 9/11, taped on his Brooklyn rooftop. It took me a while, maybe even a year, until I wanted to put it on. And when I did, something still seemed off.
It was certainly "powerful" to hear Basinski's tragic and painfully sad music soundtracking these images, but I had a hard time connecting this "art experience" with actual documentation of what happened. It felt a little like watching those YouTubes just to see what two of the world's tallest buildings look like when they crash to the ground. In today's review of Steve Reich's piece WTC, which pairs music performed by the Kronos Quartet with manipulated recorded voices including emergency dispatches from 9/11, Jayson Greene writes: "Much of what they say is nearly unbearable to hear, even a decade on. If there is a way to subsume a 9/11 survivor saying, 'Three thousand people were murdered. What's gonna happen here next?' into a larger musical work, Reich didn't find it. The words burn through the music's fabric like tissue paper, leaving you jarred but neither enlightened nor transformed." I felt this, too. With both Reich and Basinski, I couldn't focus on the art at hand because I kept asking myself: Why do I want to experience this? Though I admire both artists greatly, I can't absorb these pieces in a way that made sense. I keep feeling like I'm trying to transform real-life misery into something controlled and replay-able, an emotion-in-a-box that can be pulled off the shelf.
"With both Steve Reich and William Basinski's 9/11 pieces, I couldn't focus on the art at hand. I kept asking myself: Why do I want to experience this?"
Of course, history is littered with tragedies, many of which have been transformed into art that I immerse myself in and never give another thought. Gavin Bryars' The Sinking of the Titanic is mournful and manipulative and at points simulates the feeling of slowly slipping under the water. So we're talking about drowning, death-- an event that consumed 1,500 lives-- and yet I can sit in my living room and listen to it and feel ache and have no problem with it whatsoever. Those 1,500 people died almost 100 years ago. Maybe that's all it takes?
Allan Kaprow is an artist and writer best known as an originator of the concept of the "Happening", a multi-media form of art that arose in the late 1950s and involved public spectacles where the lines between observance and participation were not clear. He collected some of his writing in an excellent book called Essays on the Blurring of Art and Life. Such a great title, one that also serves as a nice summary of what we're talking about here. There are rituals in art that provide cues that this is something other than everyday life: curtains opening, theater lights dimming, a band being announced, the LP coming out of its sleeve. And when those cues are removed, people can get confused and things can get uncomfortable. We become unsure of how we are supposed to feel.
* * *
Though music did not interest me in the days after 9/11, Schlammpeitziger just barely worked because it seemed to function in the simplest way music can; I wasn't connecting it to anything else going on. Before Collected Simplesongs, Schlammpeitziger released a record called Augenwischwaldmoppgeflöte, and it has what I would call my favorite album cover. It shows an image of people in some kind of antiquated garb-- women in bonnets and long black dresses, men with vests and pants tucked into boots. They are in a circle and it looks like they are playing a dancing game where they're launching themselves into the air in turn. It's like they are living these tightly regimented lives, but here they break free of that and learn what it feels like to float in the air. I look at this picture and see something about music, how it can feel like this-- not quite a distraction, but a pleasure that doesn't need to be analyzed or dissected or thought about. You don't identify with the sound of wind through the trees or the sunlight on your face, right? You enjoy it. To me, the cover represents one thing music can do, one way it can work when we need it most.

de Villota's death "a consequence of neurological injuries"
Oct 12, 2013, 9:42 AM EDT
Maria de Villota's death has been linked to the injuries that she suffered whilst undertaking a straight-line test in the UK last July.
The 33-year-old died yesterday morning, and her sister Isabel has released a statement on Saturday.
"Maria left us while she was sleeping, approximately at 6am, as a consequence of the neurological injuries that she suffered in July of 2012, according to what the forensic doctor has told us," the statement read.
"Maria is gone, but she has left us a very clear message of joy and hope, which is helping the family move on in these moments."
de Villota's death has rocked the Formula One world during the Japanese Grand Prix weekend, with many drivers and teams paying tribute to the Spanish driver who McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh called "an inspiration."
Her accident last July left her with severe head injuries and resulted in the loss of her right eye, ending her motorsport career. However, de Villota appeared in the paddock at the Spanish Grand Prix back in May and was a beloved member of the Formula One family.
Drivers and teams will hold a minute's silence before this weekend's race in memory of the Spaniard.

Wilfred (US): Wilfred is a half-hour, live-action comedy about "Ryan," a young man struggling unsuccessfully to make his way in the world until he forms a unique friendship with "Wilfred," his neighbor's canine pet. Everyone else sees Wilfred as just a dog, but Ryan sees a crude and somewhat surly, yet irrepressibly brave and honest Australian bloke in a cheap dog suit. While leading him through a series of comedic and existential adventures, Wilfred the dog shows Ryan the man how to overcome his fears and joyfully embrace the unpredictability and insanity of the world around him.

bin Laden Relative Due In U.S. Court [VIDEO]
A son-in-law of Usama bin Laden is due for arraignment today in New York, and the arrest and the charges are rekindling a debate over terror trials.
FOX News Radio's Lisa Brady reports in our ongoing series on national security:
Audio clip:
Securing America.
On the morning after 9/11, al-Qaeda spokesman Sulaiman Abu Ghaith appeared with Usama bid Laden, praising the attacks and warning of more. Now he's charged in New York with conspiracy to kill Americans.
Attorney General Eric Holder says the arrest sends an unmistakable message to violent extremists. But it's drawing the same criticism as when Holder tried to bring five accused 9/11 plotters to trial in New York.
(Graham) "This guy didn't rob a liquor store."
South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsay Graham says Abu Ghaith belongs at Guantanamo Bay.
(Graham) "If this man, the spokesman for 9/11, is not an enemy combatant… who would be?"
The 9/11 defendants went back to military trials after Congress moved to block the transfer of detainees for trial in the U.S.
Lisa Brady, FOX News Radio.
WATCH for more on this story:
Editor's Note: Abu Ghaith is scheduled to appear in Federal court in Lower Manhattan around 10am ET.

WEATHERFORD, Texas (AP) - A North Texas man who kept dozens of dogs in filthy conditions has been sentenced to two years of probation and 80 hours of community service.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports 50-year-old Harry George Weldon of Fort Worth pleaded guilty to misdemeanor cruelty to non-livestock animals.
Weldon's plea deal was reached last month in Parker County where 58 dogs were located in May. At least 31 dogs found in crates, with no food or water, were taken to a shelter. Some of the other animals were dead or had to be euthanized.
Four of his relatives face animal cruelty or child endangerment charges. A toddler was in a crib at the home where animal waste littered the floor.
Weldon was also fined $500 and must pay court costs.
