Pushback over border busts Texas judge tells prosecutors to keep illegal entry cases out of court.
Published on Mon, Mar 01, 2010
After warning federal prosecutors for two years, Judge Sam Sparks was fed up with the parade of nonviolent illegal aliens in the overburdened courtrooms in his Texas division. What he did next, said lawyers across the country, was astounding and unprecedented.
While other judges simply complained about a prosecution policy initiated by the Bush administration, the Republican-appointed judge in Austin issued an order challenging the U.S. attorney's office to justify each illegal re-entry case brought before him.

Presidential helicopter crashes in Ecuador, three dead
A military helicopter assigned to the presidency crashed in southern Ecuador, killing three people, President Rafael Correa has announced.
The Indian-made Dhruv helicopter was on a flight between Guayaquil and Quito when it crashed in the region of Chimborazo, a military spokesman said.
Global Military Helicopter MRO Industry 2016 Market Research Report
Correa disclosed the crash during an election rally in Quito, asking for a moment of silence for the victims.
He emphasized that at no point was he supposed to be on the flight.
"Let's hope this doesn't lead to speculation," he said. "It has to be investigated. I was not traveling on the helicopter, I didn't have the least plans to."
Three crew members were killed, including a presidential pilot. The helicopter's pilot survived.
The cause of the crash was under investigation.

San Joaquin County's unemployment rate tumbled in September to 13.4 percent, down sharply from a revised 14.2 percent in August and the lowest in nearly 4 years, state employment officials reported Friday.
Much of the month-to-month improvement was due to expected seasonal shifts as public school employment rose by 1,200 and private educational services added 800 workers.
But a comparison of the most recent payroll estimates to September 2011 shows gains across a broad swath of industries, with nearly 7,000 more private sector jobs than a year earlier. Those include 1,200 manufacturing workers, nearly all in food processing; a gain of 1,100 retail jobs; 1,000 health-care workers; 700 private school employees and 700 leisure and hospitality positions. Year-over the largest area of job losses continues to be in government employment, which was down 500 workers since September 2011.
San Joaquin's jobless rate, the lowest monthly rate since it was pegged at 12.9 percent in December 2008, compares with an unadjusted unemployment rate of 9.7 percent for California and 7.6 percent for the nation last month.

The Conga Kings
Three master congueros, each with a distinctive style, lend the Conga Kings' accelerated pulse, but the name is meant to highlight the heart of the group, not describe the entire body.
As do all the top percussionists in Latin jazz, this conga drum triumvirate displays a deep sense of context. On their self-titled recording, Candido Camero, Carlos "Patato" Valdés, and Giovanni Hidalgo juxtapose the visceral nature and immediacy of their African drums with the reflective, Cuban-country tres and the urgent vocals of New York Latin dance music. Parts of this album sound like an updated version of Top Percussion by Tito Puente, a classic "high-fidelity" percussion record from the Fifties. Like Puente's group, the three featured players here display mucho technique and taste, and never digress into excessive, ego-driven mishmash. The result is a pleasant album with enough bite to invite listeners to hit the dance floor.
The Conga Kings, who switch smoothly from Afro-Cuban improvisations to Latin American folk songs to Latin jazz to rumba, bring a concert version of their group that is eleven players strong, including their lead singer. But the real treat is in the Kings ' ensemble playing. There's nothing like the primal sweetness of nine conga drums being played by six masterful hands. Andrés Solar

A music school in Hungary founded by a famous Roma musician aims to teach disadvantaged young people how to make a living from their talents.
The Snetberger Music Talent Centre was set up two years ago by world-famous jazz guitarist Ferenc Snetberger at picturesque Felsoors, 120 kilometres (75 miles) south of Budapest on the northern shore of Lake Balaton.
The school provides 60 students per year, 90 percent of whom are disadvantaged Roma kids, with a springboard into a musical career.
At an end of year concert last week in a Budapest theatre, Gergely Nagy, a percussion student, said he was thrilled to be a part of it.
"What is really great here is that I could meet and play with Snetberger. We have already toured with the school to Vienna and Berlin. It's incredible to be on stage with world-famous musicians," he told AFP.
"I knew neither scales nor music theory before coming to the school, but I was able to learn everything in five weeks, you just have to practise," he added.
Snetberger, who has performed and recorded with leading musicians like Bobby McFerrin and Arild Andersen, said his school offers a chance to those who have little opportunities in life.
"It's not obvious to see, but most of the young people on stage are from very really poor backgrounds," Snetberger told AFP.
The 56-year-old musician said his own 'difficult start' was a main reason for his decision to set up the school.
"I come from a very poor family and had to overcome years of enormous difficulties and obstacles before finally succeeding," he said.
The school holds auditions in eight locations around Hungary and takes in around 60 pupils -- aged between 11 and 23 -- per year.
Students receive five hours of music tuition per day during 12 weeks spread between June, October and March as most also attend regular school.
Classes ranging from theory and improvisation to genres like classical and jazz are taught by over 20 renowned musicians.
Foreign languages and computing are also taught, skills that Snetberger says are essential in making a career out of a music.
Built in 2011 with the help of a grant from the Norwegian government, the school, which comprises eight classrooms, dormitories, a dining hall, and a performance space, pays for pupils' course fees and instruments.
Running costs are covered partly by European Union funds, and the Open Society Institue of Hungarian-born philanthropist George Soros, as well as rental income from local businesses when the centre is not open.
"I set up my first school in Berlin and thought that it would be good to do the same in Hungary as well, and try to build up an international network to help young Roma people," Snetberger says.

It's a big a bit week for Justin Timberlake, having just hosted a pretty epic episode of SNL over the weekend and just opened up his new album to be streamed for free for a limited time on iTunes. Last night he was on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon for an interview and also to perform some music from his new album. JT is on Fallon's show all week so there will be more good stuff to come.
Both guys are under the weather at the moment and we learn it's because they made out over the weekend LOL. The first topic of discussion is the SNL episode and what it was like for JT. After Fallon starts making fun of how JT sings, JT joins in and makes fun of himself even better. LOL. Then the tables are turned and JT makes fun of Fallon by doing impressions of him and they're actually pretty funny.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
The history of live-action adaptations of DC Comics characters goes back nearly as long as the comic books themselves, dating back to the 1943 "Batman" serial, debuting just four years after the Caped Crusader's first comic book appearance. Of course, now there's more live-action DC than ever, both on the big screen ("Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" hits theaters next spring) and on TV ("Arrow," "The Flash," "Gotham" and more on the way).
Thus the inspiration for an artist known by the Reddit username AshsEvilHand, who earlier this week posted an homage to DC Comics' multiverse-melding "Crisis on Infinite Earths" storyline. Much like how that 1985-1986 miniseries by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez brought together the many Earths of the DC Universe at the time, this image imagines that the decades of DC Comics adaptations, ranging from the George Reeves Superman to the Tim Burton Batman to CBS' upcoming "Supergirl" could somehow be tied together in the same greater fictional landscape.
Distractotron has released video from DragonCon of the decidedly epic cosplay celebrating the 30th anniversary of Crisis on Infinite Earths. And who else should be at its center — besides the Anti-Monitor, of course — than artist George Perez, acting appropriately melodramatic.
The video spotlights a selection of era- and series-appropriate cosplay, including Superman of Earths One and Two, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Batman, Nightwing, Blue Beetle, Amethyst, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Captain Marvel, Vixen, The Flash, Gypsy, Dr. Light, Donna Troy and Starfire.
Thirty years ago, after almost a year of preliminaries, and longer than that in planning, DC Comics put an end to its infinite Multiverse. It happened as the final page of Crisis on Infinite Earths #10 — which hit the direct market during the first week of September 1985 — exploded into a cosmic whiteout, deliberately echoing the "destruction" of Earths-One and -Two in Issue 4. That cataclysm included (metaphorical?) black smoke billowing into panels and then dissipating into nothingness, but here the panels themselves shattered under the fury of the final battle between the omnipotent Spectre and the power-hoarding Anti-Monitor.
Issue 10 had a heck of a cliffhanger is what I'm saying.
When discussing Crisis on Infinite Earths #3, I noted the story's "seams were starting to show." A few months later, I thought Issue 6 was more concerned with "marketing." Now, with Issue 9 — which appeared in comics shops 30 years ago, during the first week of August 1985 — not only has the miniseries burst its original boundaries, but the crossovers have become more pervasive.
Although the bulk of the issue involves the Villain War (as last issue's cliffhanger language called it), it starts off by setting up crossovers with Green Lantern, New Teen Titans and Firestorm. It also features some clunky dialogue and name-checking cameos, which by now are as much a part of Crisis as the red skies were.
Still, even if Issue 9 is something of a rough-and-tumble indulgence amid the ongoing struggle to save all creation, it has its moments. Scenes of tragedy and triumph are executed fairly well, characters exit and enter the stage effectively, and the issue is propulsive enough to energize an otherwise weak cliffhanger.
Cover-billed as "The Final Fate of The Flash," Crisis on Infinite Earths #8 — which appeared in comics stores 30 years ago this month, during the first week of July 1985 — takes a while to get to the point. When last we saw the Anti-Monitor, in Issue 7, his citadel had been destroyed and he'd been forced to flee in some sort of rough-hewn spaceship. Thus, Issue 8 opens with a two-page sequence aboard Anti-M's vessel and features Psycho-Pirate, Anti-Monitor, and the Flash; but after that they don't appear again until Page 14.
Indeed, much of that gap is filled with six pages of digressions involving (among others) Firehawk, Blue Devil, Green Lantern and the apparently final fate of the android Red Tornado. As overstuffed as Issue 7 felt, with the origins of the Multiverse and various cosmic players, and the big battle culminating in Supergirl's sacrifice, this issue seems rather thin. Still, the main event remains powerful, even knowing how it plays out, and even taking into account Barry Allen's eventual return.
The cover of Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 (which hit comics shops in the first week of June 1985) screamed, "This is it! Double-sized SHOCKER!" However, the ending had been spoiled about two months before, when DC Comics revealed this was when Supergirl would die. (The April 10, 1985, edition of USA Today also revealed the fates of the Earth-Two Superman and Lois Lane, seven months early.)
Usually I try to be somewhat coy about Crisis' plot twists, as if I were coming to it for the first time. With this, however, there's little use. By now everyone and their super-cat knows Supergirl dies in Crisis, and it was pretty much the same 30 years ago.
Therefore, the question is how well does Crisis' brain trust sell Supergirl's death? It's harder than you might think. Issue 7 is certainly one of the maxiseries' best single installments (and that's not a backhanded compliment); but the fact is that Supergirl not only dies to save Superman, she tells him how great he is with her last breaths. It doesn't get much more meta than that.
The sixth issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths — which debuted in comics shops 30 years ago, during the first week of May 1985 — hangs a handful of fight scenes and expository moments on an almost rudimentary plot. It finalizes the series' basic status quo and resolves some lingering threads, but beyond that it starts looking outward, to the regular superhero series which will survive it.
Consider Issue 6's final page. The last page of the first issue fully revealed the Monitor, previously a mysterious figure who'd been appearing intermittently in the odd corners of various super-comics. The second and third issues ended with Harbinger's internal struggle about whether she could fight the evil impulses leading her to kill the Monitor. Issue 4's cliffhanger depicted the destruction of Earths-One and -Two, and Issue 5 threatened the same for Earths-Four, -S and -X. However, Issue 6 ends with Yolanda Montez showing off her new identity of Wildcat II. Regardless of your affection for the Wildcat legacy, one of these things is not like the others. The debut carries no cosmic implications (at least not for 1985) and serves mostly to advertise future issues of Infinity Inc.; but it also shows that Crisis was shifting more into a marketing mode.
This month's look back at DC Comics' signature Big Event comes at a very appropriate juncture. The first four issues of Crisis on Infinite Earths culminated in the destruction of Earths-One and -Two, which (for the most part) represented DC's Silver and Golden Ages. Issue 5 — which appeared in the Direct Market during the first week of April, 1985 — began to combine the various parallel universes, although as we'll see the process wasn't exactly smooth. In fact, one might say it informs the basic setting of DC's current multiversal event, Convergence. That's probably not an accident, and we'll look at those similarities in due time.
Besides that, though, Crisis issue 5 is noteworthy for a few reasons. First, it marks the arrival of inker Jerry Ordway, whose distinct finishes complemented George Pérez's pencils quite nicely and gave Crisis a unique look. Second, it kicked off a set of plot threads that would run through most of the rest of the "maxi-series," including the mechanics of multiversal melding, the identity of the mysterious villain, and the team of Superman and Superman. Finally, it shifted the focus decisively from a handful of characters and settings to the embryonic "DC Universe" itself. Starting this issue, the featured players changed from issue to issue, producing the superhero crowds for which Crisis became (in)famous.
Crisis on Infinite Earths #5 was written and edited by Marv Wolfman, penciled by Pérez, inked by Ordway, colored by Tony Tollin, and lettered by John Costanza. Bob Greenberger was the associate editor and Len Wein was the consulting editor.

Continuing the retrospective, we come to Crisis on Infinite Earths #4, which went on sale during the first week of March 1985. Narrative captions give the in-story date as July 1985 (as was the case in Issue 3), which isn't that important now, although later we will see that the bulk of the series happens/happened in that month.
Anyway, Crisis #4 puts the superheroes in the background to follow some vignette-style arcs, mostly involving Pariah and the Monitor. This has the effect of distracting the reader from the bigger cosmic goings-on. However (at the risk of overloading on negatives), this doesn't mean that nothing happens — it's still happening, even in the background. Re-reading this issue, I was struck by how quickly it moves, such that by the time Pariah turns in horror to watch a cosmically-coordinated cataclysm, it's the bottom of Page 22 and therefore far too late to stop. Indeed, just about everything that can go wrong does go wrong — which at the time struck me as a genius move, and still resonates today. The issue was written and edited by Marv Wolfman, penciled by George Pérez, inked by Mike DeCarlo, lettered by John Costanza and colored by Anthony Tollin. Bob Greenberger was the associate editor, with Len Wein the consulting editor.
The third issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths, which appeared in comics shops 30 years ago this week, or thereabouts, is probably the first to feel all "Crisis-y." After two table-setting issues introducing the Multiverse to the characters and situations that would reshape it, Crisis #3 ramps up the carnage. From the New Teen Titans to the Haunted Tank, from the Legion of Super-Heroes to Jonah Hex, and otherwise across time and space, the issue is one giant disaster-movie trailer.
Now, I didn't say the issue itself is a disaster, but some seams may be starting to show in the overall story. This 25-page installment was written and edited by Marv Wolfman, penciled by George Pérez, inked by Dick Giordano and Mike DeCarlo, colored by Tony Tollin, and lettered by John Costanza. Bob Greenberger was the associate editor and Len Wein was the consulting editor.
Last month marked the 30th anniversary of the first issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths, the ur-Big Event whose ripples continue to influence today's (and tomorrow's) superhero books. Accordingly, I thought it was a good time to revisit each issue on its approximate anniversary. That's not because each issue of COIE was always a landmark unto itself, but because we tend to remember Crisis' effects more than the ways in which the story was told.
Thus, it's time for Issue 2, which was published in the direct market during the first week of January 1985. The issue was written by Marv Wolfman, penciled by George Pérez, inked by Dick Giordano, colored by Tony Tollin and lettered by John Costanza. Wolfman is listed as the issue's editor, with Bob Greenberger as his associate editor (and co-plotter, according to COIE: The Compendium) and Len Wein as consulting editor.

Thirty years ago, as part of the first ship week in December 1984, the debut issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths arrived in comics shops. Cover-dated April 1985, and scheduled to appear on newsstands during the first week of January, it was the flagship title of DC Comics' year-long 50th-anniversary celebration. The two-year Who's Who encyclopedia had launched a month earlier, and most of DC's series would tie into Crisis at some point; but this was the book that promised big changes.
We talk a lot about the legacy of Crisis — high-stakes events, crossovers, reboots, etc. — but that can obscure the story itself. For all that it was designed to do, and all that it promised, Crisis remains both uneven and intriguing. At times it can read like a ramshackle assembly of exposition and spectacle, held together by the combined wills of its creative team. Some of it is flabby, some of it is clunky, but Crisis can still be thrilling, and even touching. In any event, it remains one of the great mileposts of DC history, so it can certainly stand another look.
Today is for the first issue, but this series will continue periodically throughout 2015. Grab your own copies of Crisis and follow along!
(NOTE: The Futures Index is on Thanksgiving vacation, so you'll get a double dose next week.)
It doesn't look good for the current Universe Designate 2. If the title of the miniseries Earth 2: World's End weren't enough of a clue, the setup of its companion Futures End tells the tale: Apokoliptian troops devastate the planet, forcing the refugees into the main DC Universe (Designate Zero). Moreover, glimpses of the previous Earth-Two — one-time home to DC's Golden Age heroes and their legacies, like you didn't know — suggest that it might be making a comeback.
Considering the New 52 relaunch eliminated the original versions of the Golden Agers, their collective reinstatement isn't without its own set of issues. A few months ago I looked at how the current Earth-2 has distinguished itself from its predecessor. Therefore, today let's ask how the return of that predecessor might work.
For months speculation had raged about what DC Comics would do to mitigate the logistics of its West Coast move. This week the publisher made it official: Convergence is a two-month, 89-issue event starting April 1. It involves a central weekly miniseries and an array of two-issue micro-series combining various versions of venerable DC folk. Basically, if you've ever wondered whether Blackhawk could beat Kamandi, or wanted to see the Superman of 2010 square off against the Green Lantern of 1944, next April and May are going to be pretty fun for you.
I've been writing about this for so long that I'm not sure what else to say. (And yet, here we are.) Last week I wrote about DC's various narrative delays and deferrals. Now I'm even more certain we'll have to wait until June for the next significant DCU development. Still, the fact that Convergence is happening is … I don't want to say "encouraging," but it does seem like progress toward an ultimate — no pun intended — resolution. (Note: This presumes that DC does in fact have specific plans for the superhero line.)
Therefore, today let's survey the Multiversal landscape, with an eye toward determining Convergence's role in the grand scheme of things.
Legal | Former Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has filed a criminal complaint against cartoonist Musa Kart over a cartoon caricaturing Erdoğan's attempts to cover up a graft investigation. The prosecutor initially decided that there were no grounds for legal action, but Erdoğan took his case to the Bakırköy 14th High Criminal Court, which ruled that the cartoon exceeded the bounds of normal criticism and allowed the indictment to proceed. Kart could face nearly 10 years in prison if convicted and given the maximum sentence.
Meanwhile, prosecutors have dropped charges against all 209 of the people suspected in participating in the actual corruption Erdoğan is accused of covering up; those charges would have included "the transfer of lands with a value of billions of dollars at very low prices, the seizure of mines from businessmen by force, tender-rigging, illegally giving state tenders worth billions of dollars to businessmen, changing the status of protected areas through bribery, opening these [areas] for construction and making large profits off of them."

U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice and Science, today announced that the Department of Justice will award $1,000,000 to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences (ADFS).
The funds will be used to improve operation infrastructure and analysis capacity of the ADFS laboratory system, renovate existing ADFS morgue and laboratory facilities and provide training for ADFS scientific staff.
"The ADFS provides critical scientific assistance to local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies investigating criminal cases in Alabama," said Shelby.
"ADFS is also the forensic support unit for law enforcement agencies in Alabama that do not have DNA and forensic capability. This funding is vital to ensure that ADFS can continue to provide the assistance and resources necessary to solve crimes in our state."

Oh Why am I....
:crying: :crying: why am i so slow in knitting? i hear guys knitting a bags in 4 hours, It takes several days. I wonder if i am not being effective. I didn't think I was too slow until i made a scarf and now i am making this multi colored tote. 4 hour scarves would probably take me 40 days. How do you make yourself more efficent.
practice practice practice.
and not letting yourself get bogged down in the idea that you are too slow. it seems to take me forever to get a project done but i don't have a lot of knitting time. so i just happily knit away and finish when i finish. I am excited if i get any project, no matter how big or small, done in a week!
Yep, practice and time will speed things up. However, remember that speed is not necessarily the important part of knitting...it's the experience and the enjoyment you get from the process.
As far as some people knitting a bag in 4 hours?... Some people may have more time than you or maybe have been knitting since they were little, too. ;)
I agree with Brenda and Jan. Time and practice WILL speed you up. After knitting a lot within the past few months, I am really speedy with knitting.
I'm just trying to figure out more things every day. Just set out some time for knitting either everyday, or at LEAST once or twice a week. Practicing will get you going faster. :)
you'll get faster...I'm just starting to get faster...but am still slow w/ dpns...just keep practicing!
what kind of Music do you listen to?
I find I knit to Music once I get into a good Groove
and I agree Practice
different Yarns, different Needles, and then you have the actual act of knitting becomes rote, and you can focus on the pattern
Yep, practice :)
And don't think of speed so much--enjoy the feel of the yarn moving through your fingers, of the sound of the needles, and of the joy knitting brings to you! :heart: Speed will come with time.
I'm a slow knitter too and sometimes it can be frustrating when I want to get something done (like the hat and scarf I'm working on for my SIL's b-day March 12), I don't think she'll get it then, but at least I'll have a Christmas present out of the way! :lol:
:roflhard: :roflhard:
:roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:
Good! You're thinking ahead! :thumbsup:

Romanian Leu Gains to Five-Month High After Record Debt Sale
Romania's leu strengthened to a five-month high after Prime Minister Victor Ponta's nomination for a second term as prime minister allowed the Finance Ministry to raise the most debt in 10 months in December.
The currency appreciated 0.1 percent to 4.4450 per euro by 12:50 p.m. in Bucharest. The currency added 0.6 percent this week, making it the best performer among eastern European peers tracked by Bloomberg. The yields on Romania's euro-denominated bond due in June 2016 declined six basis points, or 0.06 percentage point to a record 2.98 percent.
The Finance Ministry raised 3.4 billion lei ($1 billion) in three-year bonds yesterday, more than 11 times the planned offering. The sale boosted the total amount borrowed this month to 8.06 billion lei, the most since February on the domestic market, according to Bloomberg calculations.
"The local currency continued to advance in the aftermath of a resoundingly successful bond auction," Mihai Tantaru, a Bucharest-based economist at ING Bank Romania SA, wrote in a note today. "Keeping in mind the possible hefty natural demand for hard currency at the end of the year, we remain cautious on further significant leu advances."
The currency is likely to remain inside a corridor of 4.44 to 4.46 per euro range today, Tantaru said.
Ponta's cabinet, which includes a new finance minister, will probably seek a confidence vote in parliament today. Ponta was nominated by rival President Traian Basescu after his ruling coalition secured a two-thirds majority in the legislature.
The government will hold talks with the International Monetary Fund and the European Union in January to review the current 5 billion-euro ($6.6 billion) precautionary accord.

An illuminating portait of the writers who dominated New York intellectual life from the 1930s through the 1960s and of the complex tangle of literature, politics and passion that drove this group of friends, rivals and lovers.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
For the 25 years following its resurrection in 1937, Partisan Review reigned as New York's most influential intellectual journal, writes David Laskin in his group biography of its founders and core contributors. "The marriage of Marxism and modernism was not always a happy one ... but the magazine seemed to thrive on controversy, tension, upheaval, and dissent. High-toned, fiercely contentious, merciless, brilliant, rough, competitive and exclusive, PR was a world unto itself, both socially and intellectually." In Partisans: Marriage, Politics, and Betrayal Among the New York Intellectuals, Laskin focuses on an extraordinary quartet of women: Mary McCarthy, Jean Stafford, Elizabeth Hardwick, and Hannah Arendt. "They knew one another and they knew about one another; they read and reviewed one another; they measured with the exactness of peers and rivals one another's reputations, successes or failures in the marketplace, standing within the narrow yet tremendously significant world they shared." Drawing on their published works, letters, diaries, and recorded conversations to capture and convey the environment in which they lived and worked, the author presents a witty, racy, exhilarating world of passionate idealism, controversial politics, fiercely competitive writing, debate, art, and sex.
Key to understanding these tumultuous lives, Laskin believes, is recognizing that the women of the Partisan Review coterie were the last generation to come of age before the social and ideological revolution unleashed by feminism--and they never accepted the validity of "women's lib." Although they struggled desperately with their duty to protect the creative and thinking time of their Great Men husbands, and at the same time eke out time to work, it never occurred to them to question the justice or logic of the domestic arrangements they inhabited. And success often came at a terrible personal cost. Laskin quotes Delmore Schwartz: "All poets' wives have rotten lives." And, he adds, "when the poets' wives were themselves poets of some sort, their lives became 'rotten' in some truly strange and fascinating ways."
David Laskin writes about the New York intellectuals of the 1930s as if he'd known them--watched them found Partisan Review; drink themselves to blackout night after night; marry, support, divorce, criticize, and betray one another over three decades from a vantage point close enough for clarity but distant enough for fairness and thorough, well-disciplined research. He also definitively proves that gender need raise no barriers to insight and compassion for a writer with the requisite courage and imagination. His sympathy, respect, and admiration for his subjects shine through his book, and make the lives of these four women unforgettable. --Jan BultmannFrom the Inside Flap:
Combining literary biography with astute reporting and moral insight, David Laskin shows how sex, politics, and art affected relationships among the legendary group of New York intellectuals who were the Partisan Review writers. It is the women who steal the show with their groundbreaking work, their harrowing experiences of marriage, abuse, and betrayal, their passion for writing and disdain for feminism, and their struggles and achievements.

Book Description Simon & Schuster, Riverside, New Jersey, U.S.A., 2000. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 320 pages. From the Publisher: From the Depression era of the 1930s through the Vietnam War of the 1960s, a generation of "public intellectuals" thrived in America. They were poets, novelists, critics, and commentators who were also friends, rivals, spouses, and lovers. Their personal relationships were as passionate as their writing. In their poems, novels, and essays they debated one another while producing work that was brilliant and often controversial. Among them are such influential writers as Mary McCarthy, Edmund Wilson, Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Hardwick, and Hannah Arendt. "We were not gentlemen--or ladies, " observed William Phillips, former editor of the Partisan Review, the house organ of the group. "We had strong egos. " While the pages of Partisan Review were a forum for political and intellectual controversy, its offices were a hotbed of gossip, intrigue, back-stabbing, and sex. Possessed of enormous ambition, talent, and appetite, the PR circle was an intense, self-enclosed society where creative energy often gave way to self-destructive impulses, alcoholism, and adultery. For women of talent, beauty, and ambition, this literary circle offered unprecedented professional opportunity but also exacted a terrible emotional price. Mary McCarthy, proudly promiscuous, had an affair with Philip Rahv, then editor of PR, before moving on to a disastrous marriage to Edmund Wilson. Jean Stafford, whose early brilliant stories appeared in PR, succumbed to Robert Lowell's persistent courtship, a decision that would later nearly destroy her. Lowell became a celebrity during his next marriage, to PR insider Elizabeth Hardwick, though Hardwick saw her promising literary career founder under the burden of coping with Lowell's recurrent psychosis. Yet, notes David Laskin, several of these marriages and friendships managed to survive and even flourish, with a lifelong bond forming between McCarthy and Hannah Arendt, and with Hardwick and Lowell presiding over the founding of the vi.

Rebecca Pennington said her brother had moved to Taiwan in
The accident happened yesterday, she said, but wouldn't go

Ice has been a major issue mainly north and west of the beltway.{} A freezing rain advisory expires at Noon for Loudon, Montgomery and Howard Counties.{} The Warning in pink expires by 1p.m.
The freezing rain/ice accumulated as predicted with heaviest amounts North and no more than a trace in D.C where temperatures stayed near 34 degrees much of the morning.
{}Preliminary Ice Accumulations
The precipitation has become more intermittent and not as widespread.{} A cold front will pass and skies gradually clearing this afternoon.{} Temperatures will greatly vary today with highs near 50 south of D.C. and only in the upper 30s near the Mason Dixon Line.{} This is our second storm of the week and we have one more to go.{} The good news is that tomorrow and Friday look quiet.{} The winter storm possibility for the weekend is still uncertain.{} However, model have been trending towards a system that is not as strong as some may have been telling you and it looks more like Saturday night into Sunday.{} Once we get through today's ice and clearing, the models will be able to initiate better and we'll get a better idea of what to expect.{}

A stoppage time penalty from Wilfried Bony gave Swansea City a precious away win and cranked up the pressure on Newcastle United's beleaguered manager Alan Pardew yet another notch.
There were no protests calling for Pardew's head until after Bony's spot-kick, awarded when Cheick Tiote scythed down Marvin Emnes, and even then they were fairly muted. But there were loud boos at the final whistle and there was little positive to say about his team's performance.
This was not the way to convince supporters who have been on brink of rebellion for weeks that he is the right man to rebuild the team in the summer. He can only be grateful there was no sign of the mass protests promised by fans on social media during the pre-match build up.
Newcastle scored with their only real attack in the first half and Swansea always looked the more likely to win the game in the second half after Bony had headed them level on the stroke of half-time.
Damningly, for all the drama that is associated with Newcastle United, Pardew is the first of their managers in the Premier League era to lose five consecutive matches.
Newcastle are limping towards the end of the season, the question is will Pardew become the real casualty of a campaign that looked good before Christmas. Their form in 2014, though, has been woeful and if Pardew was not in any imminent danger of the sack, he is now as Newcastle's top ten finish – the target he was publicly set last summer – is in jeopardy. The only good news for him was that Stoke drew at Cardiff and remain below them.
Swansea looked sharper, slicker and more enthusiastic. Newcastle's players, as has become the norm in the last few weeks, were sloppy and lethargic. For the first 15 minutes, it was not entirely some of Newcastle's players knew where they were supposed to be playing.
There was a steady hum of grumbling from the stands, but no anti-Pardew chants and an absence of bedsheets scribbled on in black marker pen urging him to leave.
Swansea dominated possession and Wilfried Bony went close to turning in Jonathan De Guzman's cross after the same player had pulled another centre behind both Bony and Wayne Routledge when he had time to pick someone out.
It was not an opening spell that suggested Newcastle's players were fired up to protect the manager, but neither was there any sign of mass rebellion in the stands.
The atmosphere was tense rather than mutinous and when Shola Ameobi gave the home side the lead against the run of play, the sour serious faces in the stands were replaced by smiles and cheers.
It was Ameobi's first Premier League goal since December 2012, cleverly holding off Ben Davies after receiving a short pass from Luuk De Jong, before a sharp turn enabled him to roll the ball past Michel Vorm. It was Newcastle's first goal since March 22nd.
Ameobi was a scapegoat for Newcastle woes long before Pardew became one and his goal settled Newcastle's players as Swansea struggled to find a way through to goal.
It was not a convincing performance from the home side, but it looked as though it would be a satisfactory half for Pardew until the first minute of stoppage time. Swansea won a corner, swung over by Davies on to the head of Bony who, having got away from Mike Williamson, nodded it emphatically past Tim Krul.
It was nothing more than the visitors deserved although they almost fell behind early in the second-half when Dan Gosling's shot was turned round the post by Vorm.
Newcastle did not gain any momentum from that near miss and Swansea, as they had done in the first period, saw more of the ball and looked more likely to do something with it.
It was a contest balancing on a tightrope. Swansea pushed forward and stretched the defence, but Newcastle also had a few sights of goal as Loic Remy, on as a substitute, wasted good work by Dan Gosling with a poor finish and Vurnon Anita went close with a long-range effort.
Gradually, the Magpies began to gain a foothold in midfield, but there was still nothing to get excited about as an attacking force. There was little noise from their supporters either. No passion, no protests, just boredom as two unadventurous sides ground each other down into mediocrity.
Newcastle's flourish was brief and Swansea had two good openings, Bony just unable to head in from close range before Pablo Hernandez scuffed a shot wide from 12 yards.
De Guzman went even closer, clipping the roof of the net, tricking the travelling fans behind the goal into thinking their side had taken the lead.
Swansea continued to threaten, Bony running on to a through ball from Emnes, but he was unable to take it round Tim Krul. The Belgian did not prove so wasteful from the penalty spot.
Match details
Newcastle United (4-2-3-1) Krul; Anita, Williamson, Coloccini, Dummett; Gosling (Armstrong 81), Tiote, Cissé (Debuchy 21); De Jong (Remy 40); Gouffran; Ameobi. Subs: Elliot, Yanga-Mbiwa, Haidara, Taylor.

Personal computers may soon save large amounts of energy by "sleep talking".
Doctoral researcher Yuvraj Agarwal of the University of California San Diego (UCSD) in collaboration with computer scientists has created a plug-and-play hardware prototype for personal computers (PCs) that induces a new energy saving state known as "sleep talking".
Normally PCs can be in awake mode - where they consume power even if they are not being used - or in a low power sleep mode, where they save substantial power but are essentially inactive and unresponsive to network traffic.

"Relaxing Stay"
The Caribou Lodge is situated right outside of town. We stayed during a VERY cold time so we were not able to walk the 15-20 minutes to the center Banff, but i imagine during the summer it would be a nice walk. The bed was very comfortable and we were able to adjust the thermostat to our desired temperature.

Until today I was using the 1.8 version of WPML, worked like a charm. Today, I decided to upgrade to the 2.0.4 version. Since wordpress was proposing me the upgrade in plugin pannel, I thought it was safe.
The upgrade worked fine, I got the upgrade table message, I did that too. No "visible" problem until I decided to modify an already existing page (not post!) with already existing translations (before the upgrade), I got this message when I saved changes:
Fatal error: Element ID already exists with a different type in localpathtomywebsite\wp-content\plugins\sitepress-multilingual-cms\sitepress.class.php on line 1900
Strange thing, when I use the "back" button of browser, the changes made in the wp editor where saved and if I go and look at the published page, changes where also made. So wordpress seams to take the changes into account and publish them. Nevertheless, if I change other things that what's in the editor like attributes, thumbnails, etc (anything that is not text), the changes appear on the published page, but not in the wp admin area, even if I refresh the page.
So I run a few tests to see when this bug occurs and that's what I found.
I DON'T get the error message on :
- posts (with or without translation before upgrade)
- custom post types (with or without translation before upgrade)
- pages with NO translation created before the upgrade
- new pages and their translation created AFTER the upgrade
I DO get the error message on :
- pages created before the upgrade that already had one translation (or more)
- pages created before the upgrade that already had one translation even if I delete the translation and re-create it.
I tried to put maximum details about the bug, so if anybody got an idea or the same bug and solved it I would be glad to here about the solution.
I was smart enough to backup old 1.8 plugin version + databade just before the upgrade so I will restore it for the moment until this bug is solved

MUMBAI The growth of assets under gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in India slowed to 18 percent in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, compared with an average of more than 100 percent since inception in 2007, as investors sought refuge in debt instruments due to sagging gold prices.
While gold prices in India, the world's biggest buyer of the metal, have fallen 10 percent from their peak in late November, a term deposit in a bank for more than five years could still fetch more than 9 percent.
"When interest rates were high, some investors shifted from gold to debt to lock in high rates," said Chirag Mehta, fund manager at Quantum Asset Management Company Private Ltd.
India has 14 gold exchange-traded funds.
Assets under management with 14 Indian gold exchange traded funds grew 18 percent to 116.48 billion rupees in the year to March 2013, data from industry body Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) showed.
"Relative economic tightness on account of slowdown has also led to a decline in net gold consumption," said Mehta. The government hiked the import duty on gold by 50 percent to 6 percent in January as a means to contain the record-high current account deficit.
Industry participants said growth of ETFs in the next fiscal would depend upon price expectations in the short term.
"We are starting to see some buying at these levels - if that's the reflection of price expectations, then people may be turning positive," said Mehta.
On Wednesday, Goldman Sachs cut its gold price forecast for a second time in six weeks, citing expectations for an acceleration in U.S. economic growth.
The bank lowered its 2013 average gold price forecast to $1,545 an ounce from $1,610 and its 2014 price view to $1,350 an ounce from $1,490.
"Investment climate is bad. Domestic situation is dicey due to elections ahead and high current account deficit. My guess is people have booked profits and are waiting to enter again once they see a bigger fall," said Gnanasekar Thiagarajan, director with Mumbai-based Commtrendz Research.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jul 01st, 2006
Running Time: 177
Company: Pink Visual Productions
Cast: Sterling, Morgan (I), Bailey (I), Sunny Lane, Melina (I), Kandy (I), Others
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Pro-Am
This fifth release in Pink Visual's Bang Boat reality series sails through Hell and/or high water in its quest for fresh, slimy sushi, as five young starlets get the ol? pillage-and-plunder pirate treatment. While there aren't any Long John Silvers amongst the uncredited male cast, there are plenty of sliver-penetrating long dongs – and the wet, sloppy action aboard has nothing to do with the ocean!
Petite Morgan captains a threesome to start, and sexy Sunny Lane, now practically a household name, from sunny Florida follows, eager as beaver on a thick stick for the dam. Damn! The boys find Bailey in a coastal bakery, and they offer her "extra icing" for her sweet cinnamon buns (even though they ultimately cream on her face).
However, the real Kandy comes next, taking an interracial facial on the palatial craft's starboard aft. Melina calls for all hands on deck, and super-cute Sterling's pussy-lips part like the Red Sea.
Lackluster extras hurt for overall worth, but three hours of action easily compensates.
Retailing: Throw this all-natural lifesaver to eager fans of sand and surf, and note the appearance of Sunny Lane.
