Here is 'L.A.'s Coolest Street,' Y'all
The gentrification of inner-city neighborhoods in Los Angeles is bulldozing through at a such a pace that we wouldn't be surprised if a national publication were to name the hypodermic homeland known as San Julian Street on Skid Row as America's next great shopping strip.
As it is, you can't thumb through the pages of a New York-based magazine these days without reading about the wonders of surfboard furniture on Abbot Kinney Boulevard or the insane coffee brewed from beans found in rare Guatemalan rat droppings that you can find on Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park:
We'll give it to Conde Nast Traveler, though. They've gone deeper into L.A.'s ever-brown concrete jungle than any other Manhattan glossy yet.
The magazine has invaded Highland Park full-on. This week it named York Boulevard "L.A.'s Coolest Street."

Sorry Melrose Avenue, Silver Lake Boulevard and Sixth Street in Koreatown. York has a gastropub with sriracha wings and a hole-in-the-wall that serves Mexican huaraches and aguas frescas, yo.

Artisanal (artisanal!) ice cream? A bar with "zero attitude." York has that too.

York is so cool that the gangs use special paint for their graffiti so as not to upset the New York magazine editors flocking to the barrio. Only Latinos can see it.

after all he will be campaigning, just as in 2008, in all 57 states. He also will, just as in 2008, go the entire campaign without telling the truth. Got to love the Socialist bigot. After all he's been able to double gas prices, double the national debt, increase unemployment 40%, pass Healthscam, and appoint so many czars that we can't keep up with them anymore. And all this in just three short years. Geez, wonder how much more he could wreck America if he were to get re-elected. Hey, what the heck, once he's defeated in November maybe he could get a job teaching geography. Or class warfare. Or bigotry. Or gender warfare. Or race warfare. Just trying to help out you BO lovers.
Who ever said Bushes failures would not cost America any pain.You want wars,elect Publicons.You want Greenspan economics, elect Publicons.You want more jobs shipped overseas, elect Publicons.You want rich paying less taxes than you , elect Publicons.Transformers won't save you!Your vote will!
And Barack Obama is the answer? lol... You really got to be kidding. Has the man ever held a real job in his life time?
I log in to CLDX to see if there's any real story or maybe a credible debate in case we have no news in CLDX. But instead, all I see is...BO BO BO BO BO BO BO and more BOs!!BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO.Such sad disdain!! And it just never ends here!!
deux, sorry bud, next time I'll be sure to ask your permission before I post. Now go back to being unhappy and miserable just like all your Socialist buddies.
And don't forget, BHO will still be running against GWB for the second time. By now he has to be good at it.
LIke I've always said. America got what they deserve and they will get more of the same and worst if he would get elected for a second term. They just don't get it. European style of gov't doesn't work. The entitlement society will be the death of us all. I don't care who it is. Dem or Repub. We are being lead like sheep down the wrong path.

Date and Time

Age Limit
All Ages
Raised in Israel on Moshav Mevo Modiin, a musical village in the hills between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Yehuda (vocals, percussion) and Duvid (vocals, guitar) learned and played music together since childhood. Eventually, American students traveling in Israel heard them play and befriended the members of the band. Taken not only with the beauty of their music, but the band members' charismatic stage presence, these young kids from the U.S. went back to the States and raised the money to bring MOSHAV to America for college tours in the late 1990's. By 2000 the band had relocated to Los Angeles. Continuously touring across the United States and the world, including festivals in Australia, Canada and Europe, MOSHAV built a large following. After releasing and selling close to 50,000 of their self produced albums- the band eventually caught the eye of producer Ron Aniello (Lifehouse, Guster, Barenaked Ladies). Together they recorded the album, MISPLACED in 2006. Reviews for the record were highly favorable and the group toured heavily before teaming up again, in 2010, with Ron Aniello and Clif Norrell ( R.E.M., Jeff Buckley, Sting) to create their latest album- DANCING IN A DANGEROUS WORLD.

(953) Evicted [Book review]
Evicted. Poverty and Profit in the American City
Matthew Desmond
Crown Publishers, NY
432 pages
CAN $37.00 hardcover
What a knockout. The more we think about this book the more we have to admire it. Matthew Desmond took on his subject in a way that very few authors can: by going and living it bodily for an extended period of time.
Ethnography is a discipline within anthropology and sociology that involves direct observation of social interaction from within, or very close to, that interaction. Milwaukee's slum apartments and a large, dumpy (yet lucrative) trailer park are the settings at hand. They are representative ones, unfortunately, in an America still longing for recovery.
Evicted reads often like a novel. Desmond's presentation of a brace of poor people, and those who make a living off of them, with historical background and socioeconomic data is nearly seamless. Without this phenomenon Evicted would have been pretty tough going. There's a lot of serious bullshit and misery in America these days.
Indeed, the constant churn of misfortune in this book is awful. Bouncing from one crap apartment in some bad neighbourhood to the next, the individuals Desmond lived beside are constantly stertched by fighting to stay ahead of total disaster. Eviction is something of a new force acting on the lives of America's poor, falling particularly hard on top of African American lives. Desmond describes eviction as something of a handmaiden to mass incarceration. The worst part of it all is just how lucrative the poor are for landlords, property owners, moving-and-storage companies.
Eviction's depressing panorama is contemporary America for a lot of people. Desmond tells us that nearly one third of Milwaukee's evicted population are black females even though they are only nine percent of the general population (page 98). Stuff like this is crazy. It makes for quite depressing reading.
To be truthful, we nearly gave up a couple of times on all the rough apartments and dodgy building owners that are encountered here. What do you think having your personal effects piled on the curb feels like because you fell behind on the rent? Evicted is important, though. Much of its reality remains unstudied, undocumented and ignored by society at large. This is not good, Americans deserve better.
As optimistic Canadians we would have liked it if half of Evicted had been like the twenty-page epilogue: stronger on solutions and positive statements rather than the narrative of bad luck and systemic grief. We could urge the proactive adoption of specific policies to protect Canada's post-industrial communities.
Desmond believes an expanded housing voucher program would liberate people like those he wrote about. If such a program were large enough and well-funded it would probably function almost like a universal basic income, helping to reinforce a socio-economic level that nobody need fall below.
Hard reading on an important topic for anyone interested in contemporary American life. Almost made easy by the author's level of commitment and writing skills. Buy this book.

Change for the better awaits those willing to think through how they came to be where they are and what they must do going forward if they are to become the healthiest, happiest and most authentic versions of themselves they can. One of the major components of the Greater Toronto Area is Vaughan. Vaughan is a lucky place in many ways but it could maybe use some counselling, a road map to behavioural optimization and self-actualization, as it were.
Study takes hard look at 'well-being' of Vaughan. Research compares quality of life in the GTA suburb to the province and country

A little heads up for those of you in the north (or those who fancy a trip up to the north)…
I'll be appearing at Bradford Literary Festival on Sunday May 22nd, 2pm – 3:15 and I'm very excited about it. Not only because of the brilliant things I've heard about it, or because there's genuinely brilliant line-up there, but also because the panel discussion feels important and interesting and fresh. And relevant too.
Here's the blurb (all the info can be found here):
"Writing will always be writing, but the act of finding, consuming and enjoying the written word is evolving rapidly. New writers are finding innovative ways to get their words in front of an audience, sometimes taking a totally new path, and sometimes combining new techniques with more established publishing models.
Exploring the new ways of writing are panellists Leah Moore, comic writer and project manager of experimental digital publisher Electricomics; flash fiction exponent and poet Nik Perring; author and online writing pioneer Taran Matharu; and founder of groundbreaking comics publisher PositiveNegatives, Benjamin Dix. Journalist and comics lover David Barnett chairs."
Tickets are, of course limited, so booking ahead would probably be a good idea. Hope to see some of you there. (And if you are going, let me know – there might be time for a chat and a cuppa afterwards.)

So, it's 2 am and I'm up with a book and I've not blogged in a while so here we are. I have opened a beer and there is a Japanese film playing on the TV in the background (not because I am or want to look cultured – it was on after Rudetube, which I caught the end of). Basically, I am just done for the day. I've been out to do things and I've spoken to people on the phone and I've written – and that's been a lovely change because I'd not been writing too much recently because I've been so busy doing other writing stuff (teaching, editing, running my course). Two stories in two days makes me feel happy and more like an actual writer again and, at the moment, I'm not too bothered if neither of them turns out to be any good. Things are moving in my brain and that's enough for me.
Especially after last week, when I missed a trip to Berlin because I had flu. I'm not sure I'd had that before and I can tell you now, I'd rather not have it again. One thing it did do though, was make me stop for a few days. I've not done that in years.
And, what else? Well, as well as all the teaching and workshops and editing and flu-ing and sleeping, there's been reading. The lovely people at And Other Stories sent me Joanna Walsh's Vertigo, and I'm glad they did because I've been dipping into that (it's tonight's book) and it's excellent.
I also read My Name Is Lucy Barton and that was pretty spectacular too – a real gem from the woman who brought us Olive Kitteridge.
On Wednesday I was with a young writers' group I co-run and as part of the session I read them some Aimee Bender* and Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut. And, when I think that that was the first time they'd heard those stories from those people it made me fiercely proud – not just to live in a world where that kind of wonderful literature exists and we have access to it (even in the US Vonnegut gets banned in places!) but also that stories like them are still desperately relevant. Often I take that for granted. And, often, I take for granted how lucky I am to be able to work with people of all ages and to teach because it's a hell of a lot of fun and I get to get excited about things that excite me and I get to see those things excite other people. And affect them. And get them thinking.
So there you go. That's all from me, for now. But while I'm away, feeling smug about it all, you can watch this – a brilliant adaption of Harrison Bergeron (which even features the brilliant hostess from Airplane – it Shirley does). Watch it, and be amazed. And then please seek out the story, because the story's even better. (I'm only saying seek it out because this is the only link I can find and the font's bloody awful and it's 2 in the morning and I have books to read, and some Samurai has just been stabbed on the telly and he doesn't look too happy about it.)

I've been meaning to do this for ages. Post something on here about David Bowie, once the (star)dust had settled after his passing. And, I guess, now I'm here doing it there doesn't seem that there's too much to say that's not already been said, much better, and by much cleverer and successful people, than me.
What I will say is: thanks. I know, absolutely – without question – that without him I would not be doing what I'm doing now were it not for him. And that's not because I'm a Bowie superfan, because I'm not. I love his music and I love what he did. But the reason I'm sitting here, able to do this, able to have an audience, to publish the kind of books and stories I publish, (picture books for grown ups about a relationship told through people's favourite words and trees, anyone!) and to have those magazine and publishers who publish them, owes so, so much to him. He opened doors. He showed people in the mainstream what was possible. In fact, I'd go as far to say that he showed that anything is possible if you try and if you have vision and conviction. And that different is good. That different can be better – exciting. And also that it's okay to try and to fuck up. There haven't been too many of those around and we are lucky when they find us.
When I was at the end of writing Not So Perfect I was listening to Bowie a lot and, as a result, the last story in the book is my retelling (if you can call it that) of Five Years and it's one I'm still, more than five years on, really proud of.

I'm not really here at the moment. I'm trying my best to be away, catching up on edits and emails and other stuff while hoping, too, that I might actually get some actual writing done.
But being away's not going to stop me having guest around. And today it's the lovely Miriam Drori. Over to you…
Nik and I first "met" via an interview of me on another blog. The topic of the interview was place, and I talked about the reasons why I moved from London to Jerusalem many years ago. I also mentioned social anxiety in that interview. As social anxiety is unfortunately a part of who I am, I don't think any picture of me can be complete without it.
Social anxiety was also the reason why I started writing. I'm passionate about raising its profile and the understanding of it, and writing was the natural direction for me. So my romance, Neither Here Nor There, published by Crooked Cat, obviously features a character with social anxiety, right? Wrong. Mark, the hero of the romance, is a bit shy, that's all. His upbringing in London was too restrictive, too protected. But he's working on that. Moving to Jerusalem was a big step in the process.
Esty, the heroine, has moved to a place that's in one way much closer to her childhood home and in another much further. She grew up in the ultra-orthodox, haredi, community. Having taken the brave step of leaving the only way of life she has ever known, she has to acclimatise to a very different one – not an easy task at all. Imagine walking to the sea dressed in nothing but a swimming costume, when you're used to always being covered up. Imagine seeing sex on the television, albeit covered with a blanket, when you believe that act should be totally private and should only take place in the marital home.
So what about that novel that features a character or two with social anxiety? I'm still working on it. It's not easy to step outside a world you know only too well, but that's exactly what authors have to do when writing what they know. In the meantime, the process of writing this book has taught me an awful lot about writing.
Nik, thank you so much for having me on your blog. Neither Here Nor There is on sale for a few days. Links to it can be found here on my blog. I'm also on Twitter and Facebook.

It's always a pleasure to welcome the multi-talented Mr Scott Pack here. As well as being publisher extraordinaire (he's the chap responsible for Freaks! while he was with The Friday Project/HarperCollins) he's also published his own books which I know I'm not the only person who's thoroughly enjoyed them. And he's back – in both ways, both as a publisher again at Unbound, and as an author. Only this time, things are a little different…
Scott. Hello! Welcome. I trust you've been well and kept in cake.
As you well know, there is always cake. But thank you for asking.
So, first things first: Unbound. Tell us about it and what you're doing there.
Unbound is the world's first crowdfunding publisher. It was founded a few years back by three authors who were frustrated with how the publishing indiustry works. Most notably, the fact that authors are so far removed from readers. Here were three authors with hundreds of thousands of readers between them but no idea who those readers were. So they decided to change all that.
Unbound enables authors (famous ones like Andy Hamilton, Terry Jones and Raymond Briggs as well as debut writers you've never heard of) to pitch their books direct to readers. Readers can then pledge for different reward levels (a copy of the book, dinner with the author, having a character named after them, that sort of thing) and every supporter gets their name in the back of the book.
It's a lovely idea and is proving to be rather successful.
And, more importantly, the new book. Weightless Fireworks. Tell us about that.
It is a book containing 100 haiku. Haiku is a form of poetry that came to prominence in Japan in the 17th century. They contain three lines and conform to a strict 5/7/5 syllable structure. I have written loads of the buggers over the years and always wanted to collect them in some way.
Why the title?
Well, originally I wanted to call it Hundred Haiku but the Unbound crew weren't so keen. So then I wanted to use a line from one of the poems. It was a toss up between Weightless Fireworks and Ready Salted Love. The former sounded a bit more poetic.
And why haiku? You're a dark horse! Where did that come from?
Well my first ever published book was a collection of poetry called aardvark. It came out 25 years ago this year. So poetry always came first for me. I love haiku, the fact that you have to try to say a lot in such a short space. No room for wasted words. You need to be spot on. If you try to force it, it shows. Nowhere to hide. All that shit.
So this book's clearly very different to what you've put out there before. How does it compare to your others and how much fun was it to write?
After aardvark I wrote three non-fiction books which were somewhat throwaway bits of fun. Trivia books. Toilet books. The sort of books that end up being sold for a quid in The Works before the year is out. Nothing wrong with that, one of them sold a hell of a lot of copies, but I don't think they'll be remembered years from now. They were lots of fun to write though.
Technically, Weightless Fireworks isn't actually finished yet. I am still writing haiku every day as I get ready for publishing the book.
Now, the really important part. Where should we buy it from?
Well, you can't technically buy it at all. Not yet. What you can do is pledge towards it and then, if enough people do the same, then the book will be published. We got to over 20% of our target at the end of the first day, so things are looking promising. Pop on over to https://unbound.co.uk/books/weightless-fireworks and you can cough up if you like what you see.
What's next for you?
Well my immediate future involves staring at the status of this book on Unbound and watching the percentage total creep up. Or stall. It can't go backwards, though, so that's something.
And I should really be writing some haiku.
But once the blasted thing is funded I guess I'll be spending a fair bit of time fulfilling some of the rewards.
Anything to add?
I should really mention some of the rewards. You can just pledge for the book, which is fine. But you could also pledge for me to bake you a cake. Or I could send you a haiku every month for a year. Or you could even have one of the few copies of the book that I will be writing out by hand.
There are also some 'professional' rewards, so to speak, where you can get me to edit your book for a much lower fee than I normally charge.
Anyway, something for everyone.
Here is example of said cake…
It's been a pleasure, of course. Until next time…
Unless I see you first, sunshine.
No, seriously, thanks for inviting me. It's been emotional.

So Shakespeare Week is done. Five workshops at five different libraries in and around Sheffield are over and I am happy. Tell you the truth, I couldn't be happier. From the off this had the whiff of something a bit special and it's not disappointed one bit. Everyone at Sheffield Library Service have been, as ever, supreme and helpful and lovely – and I'd like to put a huge public thank you to all the staff, in libraries and behind the scenes, for all their help and for making us all feel so welcome.
And a massive thanks to you too, for helping spread the word. Each workshop sold out in no time and I can't remember anything I've done being quite so over-subscribed. We had to turn a lot of people away, and I'm sorry about that – don't worry though, there are other very exciting things in the pipeline.
But this was always going to be about the young writers who came along. If you're reading this – and it could be any of you – YOU ARE BRILLIANT. Some absolutely wonderful, funny, moving, scary and generally brilliant work was produced in those five, three hour sessions – from stories, to story plans, to poems and potions and even recipes. Those Macbeth witches have a lot to answer for. And, if you like, you can see much of it at The Children's Central Library, Highfield Library, Chapeltown Library, Hillsborough Library, and Ecclesall Library too – and you should (you can see where they are and when they're open here). I'll be posting a bit of what we did on here at some point too.
Sheffield Central Children's Library, Day 1
The workshops had some amazing coverage in the press and on the radio – huge thanks to BBC Radio Sheffield (we're at 1hr 55) and to The Sheffield Star (and thanks to Dean for his photos), and there's even video too.
I am a very happy, and very proud, author tonight – and not just because of the reaction to what we've done. It's reminded me why I do this. Being involved with helping people who are excited about writing (even if they didn't think they were before) is a huge privilege. And when those involved are as brilliant as the young writers I've worked with over the past few weeks are as amazing as they were, then that makes things even better. Well done, folks.

I have come late to Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. It's something I seem to do, that. Only read wonderful things years and years after every bugger else (I think a lot of that has to do with me not reading enough as much as I'd like and reading a lot of possibly more obscure things – not an excuse, it's just how it is).
But I did come to it in the end and I am glad I did. It is an astonishing book and one that, without question, has changed me. And it's been a while since I've read anything close to being that good. It's a masterpiece. The story's wonderful and affecting and the characters are convincing and everything works.
But what I wanted to highlight here is how good I think the writing is. I said, on Twitter, upon finishing it that I thought it was probably the best written book I'd read. And I stand by that.
I'll not review it here (I've never been that good with reviews and so many people do it better) so you'll have to look elsewhere for the plot (if you've been stuck under a rock like me and not read it yet). It's the language Ishiguro uses. The way (and I talk about this a lot when I'm teaching) he doesn't let a huge vocabulary – or desire to use it – to get in the way of either the story or the authenticity of the narrator's voice. Yes, the language is simple (some have said dull) but that's exactly how it needs to be. For me, it's all about story. When we read something I don't think we really need to notice the writer – in fact I'd probably argue that, in most cases, we shouldn't because it's the story we should be immersed in, not the writer or their ego. Sometimes people do just sit or walk or say things. And sometimes there are just fields – we don't need to know the exact shade of green every blade of grass is beneath the oak. Of course, there are times when that kind of thing is a joy to read – but only if that language is appropriate to that story.
So, if you've not read it, you should. So here's a toast to brilliant story telling without the need to show off and, more importantly, with the master's touch of knowing exactly how his or her character is. Language is a wonderful thing and we've got an enormous, brilliant, beautiful pot of it that we can pluck from – it's a fine thing we can be reminded that we don't have to use it all.

As you might have already read, yesterday I was at Sheffield Central Children's Library running the first of five writing workshops for Shakespeare Week. During it, the lovely Kate Hughes from Sheffield City Council came along to video some of the writers who were there. Here they are…
1 Comment · Posted on March 21, 2016
The first of the five workshops I'm running for Shakespeare Week has happened. And it was brilliant – even on the day there were people waiting to see if they could sneak in and, as I've said before, that there has been such a huge amount of interest has been wonderful.
But, before I go on talking about the actual event, I'd like to say a few things to those who haven't been able to get on to one.
First, I'm sorry.
It always makes me sad when we have to turn people away and put waiting lists up and I am honestly sorry we've had to but, rest assured, I'm doing my best behind the scenes to cater to as many people as possible (and there have been a LOT of you). If there's something we can do to accommodate everyone then it'll be done. Also, rest assured that if you're not able to get onto one of the courses then it's for good reason – and that reason's pretty straight forward: there's only one of me!
In any event I've ever done what's important is that everyone gets a decent chunk of time with me and a fair and useful amount of my attention. These events are to inspire (and inspire confidence), they're to help, they're to encourage and to educate, and they're for people to enjoy themselves – to have fun with words. And a massive part of that is being able to work with me closely. And a part of that is not feeling you've had your hand up for too long, or that I'm spending too long at the other end of a table that's longer than it should be. It's a dialogue and it's relaxed and it's helpful. And I'd much rather have, say, twelve people going home feeling happy and inspired, than twenty or thirty feeling it was just ok.
As I said, bear with me! (If you're one of those parents or guardians whose children haven't been able to get a workshop place, drop me a line by clicking here and let me have your email address.)
And, on to today.
Yes, it was fun. It was brilliant, in fact. The workshop was called Fun With Words and that's exactly what we had.
We talked about Shakespeare, his plays, his life and times, and what sort of things he did. And then we did our own. There were potions and spells, there were basketball player stories, poisons, and lists of ingredients and a whole load of amazing stuff that reflected, I think perfectly, the range of what he did. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that every single writer produced at least two really excellent things (they'll be on display before long so can see for yourselves if you're in the area).
The Sheffield Star were there with their camera (thank you, Dean); some of the writers were even filmed (watch out for that) and, as usual, the staff were mind-blowingly good. They even forgave me for not putting a water jug back.
And they made me this (thank you Alexis).
And, Head of Libraries, Nick, who was brilliant too, came down to make sure I knew my Hamlet from my Macbeth (and to marvel at Alexis' handiwork).
All in all a brilliant few hours and I can't wait to get on with the next four.
And, as for any others, watch this space…

Tomorrow I start the first of five workshops in two weeks for the brilliant Sheffield Library Service. It's for Shakespeare Week and this one's a little bit special in that it's 400 years since the great man (and possibly the most influential story teller that's lived) died.
Things have been printed. The Lion King has been re-watched and Shakespearean insults have been chortled at (how's the for research) – stationery has been bought and bags have been packed. Most importantly I know what I'm doing and I can't wait to get started.
I think one of the coolest things is that the workshops sold out in record time – that's something that always makes me happy because it means (or should, at least) that people are keen. And an appetite for Shakespeare can only be a very good thing.
And now I go for a walk and don't think about it until tomorrow, when the fun begins.

If you have troubles since the update to WordPress 4.5 please read this post before opening a new thread.
Sorry if this has been asked, but I searched and didn't come across it. I would like to replace the social icons with different ones. I went into Appearance->Editor->Style CSS. It says that should not be modified and use custom.css.
Now for my dumb question. Where in custom.css? Do I have to access this via FTP?
yes you can access the file via ftp. it is located in the following folder:
your wordpress installation/wp-content/themes/abundance/css/custom.css
thanks, I will give that a try.
Let us know if it works :)
Best regards,

A sofa, a changing landscape made from elemental shapes which dynamically interact with one another. Patricia Urquiola deconstructs the classic sofa, and re-proposes it through a synthesis of surfaces. Simplicity, definition, dynamism and transformation are the uniting characteristics which bring together the individual elements: seats, backrests and armrests are modules which can be coordinated, combined and endlessly reconfigured. In 2000, the designer had already grasped what is now a well-established concept, the creation of system which works as a single piece, a project which goes beyond modularity-as-function to give absolute freedom in creating compositions dedicated to comfort and style.

Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl touched down in the United States on Friday morning in San Antonio, five years after being captured by Taliban forces.
The soldier will continue his "reintegration process" at Brooke Army Medical Center, according to the Defense Department. It did not give a timeline for his recovery.
The process will include debriefings and further medical treatment.
Bergdahl has been under care from military doctors in Germany since late last month, when the Obama administration traded five high-ranking Taliban prisoners in Guantánamo Bay in exchange for his release — a move criticized by members of both parties.
Military officials have said they will review the circumstances of his disappearance once the soldier's health recovers. They have indicated charges could be brought if he is found to have deserted before his capture.
According to The New York Times, a report completed shortly after his capture in 2009 found that Bergdahl likely intentionally left his outpost before he was captured. However, it did not conclude whether he intended to return.
Polls have shown most people would support military charges being brought if he is found to have deserted. The surveys have also found more people disapprove than approve of the trade.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have criticized the exchange, which Congress was not told of in advance, claiming it would harm national security since there is no guarantee the released Taliban members will not return to the battlefield.

Q & A Library
Worried About Huntington's?
My mother had Huntington's disease. She was diagnosed when I was four or five and died when I was nine. Is it possible that my sister and I could get it? My sister is 23 and I'm 19. Is there a way to prevent it?
Answer (Published 2/25/2008)
Huntington's disease is a brain disorder caused by a genetic mutation passed from parent to child. If one of your parents had the disease, you have a 50 percent chance of developing it. If you haven't inherited the mutation, you won't get Huntington's, nor can you pass it along to your own children.

The Weil Vitamin Advisor for Depression - Left unchecked, mild depression can become debilitating. The good news: proper diet, lifestyle and supplements can be beneficial. Start your free evaluation now!
You can be tested to determine whether or not you've got the genetic mutation. All that's required is a blood sample, but the Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA) recommends having the test done at a Huntington's Disease testing center, where trained professionals are available to discuss the implications of the results and whatever follow-up might be needed. Although the test can reveal that you have the mutation, it won't predict when symptoms will develop or how severe they will be. Typically, symptoms appear gradually between the ages of 30 and 50. People can live for 15 to 20 years with Huntington's after the onset of symptoms but tend to become increasingly disabled over time.
Symptoms vary from person to person - in general, the earlier they develop, the faster the progression of the disease. Early symptoms are often mood swings – irritability, apathy, depression, anger - as well as changes in memory, judgment, and other cognitive functions. Or, the disease can begin with uncontrolled movements of the fingers, feet, face or trunk that get worse with stress.
Although there's no cure, drug treatments are available to help control both the movement and emotional problems. Unfortunately, these medications don't slow or reverse the course of the disease. It's important for Huntington's patients to be under the care of a neurologist who has expertise with the disease. You can learn more about Huntington's and locate a genetic testing center and medical resources via HDSA at http://www.hdsa.org.

Through a constellation of exhibitions, full-scale installations, and programs of events, the Biennial invites the public to engage with and think about architecture in new and unexpected ways, and to take part in a global discussion about the future of the built environment.
