Janine Antoni describes her art as occupying the 'territory between object, performance and relic' and says, 'for me, creativity is about unlocking memories within the body. It's also about thinking with the body.' Her performance works often find afterlives through the mutable medium of storytelling, where witnesses pass on their own narratives of events to other people. For Move: Choreographing You, she has devised a surreptitious intervention which plays on the physical and emotional meanings of the word 'move'.
Born in 1964 in Freeport, Bahamas, Janine Antoni lives and works in New York, USA
In his installations and performances, Pablo Bronstein combines the languages and grammar of architecture and dance, synthesising the grandiose gestures of the Baroque with the lean aesthetics of postmodernism. His stage-set-like structures provide arenas for performance, in which dancers move or hold poses, switching between 'artificial' and 'natural' modes; between the affected nonchalance of courtly sprezzatura and the ordinary movements of modern pedestrians.
Born in 1977 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Pablo Bronstein lives and works in London, UK
Trisha Brown began choreographing in the early 1960s, at a time when avant-garde dancers and choreographers collaborated with poets, musicians, painters and sculptors in challenging the conventions and boundaries of their disciplines. Experimenting with improvisation, apparatus and the use of everyday movements, Brown's revolutionary 'equipment pieces' brought dance into the real world of functional objects and unpredictable events. Much of her early work was performed outdoors, in city squares and parking lots, on rooftops and down the sides of buildings.
Born in 1936 in Aberdeen, Washington, USA, Trisha Brown lives and works in New York
Tania Bruguera's performances and installations examine the relationship between ideology, power and social behaviour. Explaining that her intention is 'to address the subtlety and seductiveness of power, and our own participation in its process,' her confrontational works demand that viewers become involuntary performers. As participants, we encounter 'politics as sensation', experiencing fear, vulnerability and sensory deprivation before eventually achieving awareness.
Born in 1968 in Havana, Cuba, Tania Bruguera lives and works in Havana, and in Chicago, USA
Rosemary Butcher made her choreographic debut in 1974, presented a ground-breaking concert at London's Serpentine Gallery in 1976 and became Resident Choreographer at Riverside Studios in 1978. For the next three decades she has continued to develop her own movement language and choreographic form based around conceptual art, pure movement and a complex use of space that has influenced and inspired three generations of British choreographers, most notably Russell Maliphant and Jonathan Burrows.
Rosemary has increasingly used cross-arts collaboration within the choreographic process and has frequently chosen non-theatrical spaces to present her work. She has collaborated with many artists from visual art, film and music over the years, including Turner Prize finalist Vong Phaophanit on her work SCAN.
Subtitled a 'pseudo-performance', choreographer Boris Charmatz's installation héâtre-élévision presents an hour-long spectacle experienced by one person at a time. Almost theatre and not quite television, the work consists of a dark room with a pretend grand piano onto which the visitor climbs, lying down to watch pixellated videos of absurd and disorienting dance performances. While the spectator outwardly becomes the focus of a theatrical display, they inwardly experience a kind of mental choreography.
Born in 1973 in Chambéry, France, Boris Charmatz lives and works in Rennes
Lygia Clark's belief in art as interaction was the basis of all her sculptural work. She explained that 'the key to my research is the participation of the public; the breaking of the barrier separating the spectator from the work, and from its "creator"', and her art aimed to rediscover the sensual and instinctive sides of life. Her installations and 'sensorial objects' induce a heightened awareness of our bodies and our physical surroundings.
Born in 1920 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Lygia Clark died in 1988 in Rio de Janeiro
Choreographer William Forsythe stresses that his 'Choreographic Objects' are not so much there to be seen, as to be used. In The Fact of Matter, a thicket of dangling gymnastic rings invites Hayward Gallery visitors to stretch and swing their way across space. Outdoors, the interactive City of Abstracts becomes visible after dark. Located on Level 2 Terrace (until the end of November), this video installation captures the movements of passers-by and entices viewers into making drawings with their bodies.
Born in 1949 in New York City, USA, William Forsythe lives and works in Frankfurt and Dresden, Germany
Simone Forti's investigations into 'ordinary movement' revolutionised dance in the early 1960s. Her dance constructions of 1961, such as Huddle, are based on improvisation and chance. Other dances involved simple structures to generate movement. Later, in Hangers, she created a work that she conceived as both a sculpture and a dance. The simple bodily movement depicted in her hologram Angel can only be perceived when the viewer moves around it, unconsciously performing reciprocal movements in order to see it.
Born in 1935 in Florence, Italy, Simone Forti lives and works in Los Angeles, USA
In Dan Graham's Present Continuous Past(s) the visitor becomes both performer and spectator simultaneously. The installation consists of a room containing a two-way mirror, a video camera and a monitor. The mirror reflects present time, the camera records the mirror's continuous reflection, and the monitor plays back the recording after an eight-second delay, thus presenting, in Graham's words, 'an infinite regress of time continuums within time continuums (always separated by 8-second intervals) within time continuums'.
Born in 1942 in Urbana, Illinois, USA, Dan Graham lives and works in New York
Anna Halprin's pioneering San Francisco Dancers' Workshop, founded in 1955, quickly became a magnet for people interested in unorthodox approaches to dance; students included Trisha Brown, Yvonne Rainer and Simone Forti. Ten years later, Halprin presented her first 'collective creation', Parades & Changes, which she describes as being about 'the process of undressing, finding your place in space', and creating a 'ceremony of trust' between performers and audience. The work has now been recreated by French choreographer Anne Collod, in dialogue with Anna Halprin and original composer Morton Subotnick. With support from Cultures France.
Born in 1920 in Wilmette, Illinois, USA, Anna Halprin lives and works in Kentfield, California
Inspired by local resident Suat Ling Chua's daily hula-hoop workout on a New York roof, Christian Jankowski's Rooftop Routine (2007) pays homage to Trisha Brown's Roof Piece, which took place in 1973 on 12 different rooftops in downtown New York. For his own work, Jankowski asked Suat Ling Chua to collaborate in a one-off performance, involving a chain of volunteer hula-hoopers on 25 rooftops in New York's Chinatown. The result, recorded on video, is a communal dance which celebrates city life.
Born in 1968 in Göttingen, Germany, Christian Jankowski lives and works in Berlin
Isaac Julien's multi-screen film installations create cinematic experiences in which art, architecture, dance, sound and movement intermix. His new work, TEN THOUSAND WAVES, is an extended meditation on migration, physical and cultural dislocation and unfinished journeys. It weaves together three separate stories which are presented as a montage of moving images oscillating between nine free-hanging screens. Viewers enter an immersive and frequently disorienting environment in which they are compelled to make their own experiential journeys, both in physical and psychological terms.
Born in 1960 in London, UK, Isaac Julien lives and works in London
Dancer and choreographer Rosemary Butcher has re-invented Allan Kaprow's first 'happening', presented in New York in 1959. For the original 18 Happenings in 6 Parts, Kaprow created an environment in which the audience itself was choreographed: directed to particular places at specific times, in order to witness events such as a woman squeezing oranges, an artist lighting matches and painting, and an orchestra of toy instruments.
Allan Kaprow was born in 1927 in Atlantic City, USA. He died in California in 2006.
Born in 1947 in Bristol, UK, Rosemary Butcher lives and works in England
Mike Kelley describes Adaptation: Test Room Containing Multiple Stimuli Known to Elicit Curiosity and Manipulatory Responses as a structure containing 'sculptural elements derived from the playroom objects used in experiments with primate affection conducted in the 1960s. These objects have been enlarged to human scale and arranged in such a way as to evoke the abstract stage sets designed by sculptor Isamu Noguchi for the American choreographer Martha Graham.' A life-size projection documents a related dance work made in collaboration with choreographer Anita Pace.
Born in 1954 in Detroit, USA, Mike Kelley lives and works in Los Angeles
Michael Kliën's Choreography for Blackboards is a time-based 'performance installation' to be performed on monolithic blackboards placed in galleries and museums. While it recalls sculptor Joseph Beuys's ritualistic 'Actions' and the 'Blackboard drawings' created in the 1970s during his lectures at educational institutions and museums, in Kliën's work locally chosen participants follow exact, rehearsed procedures, developing and exchanging insights and individual expressions and forming 'a concentrated collective dance of minds'.
Born in 1973 in Vienna Austria, Michael Kliën lives and works in Limerick, Republic of Ireland
Thomas Lehmen's Schrottplatz ('scrapyard') is about the nature of understanding. In this solo work, during which he demonstrates his choreographic ideas, Lehmen explains objects to other objects – an electric cable is explained to a tomato; a football gets to learn about a work of art; a newspaper is explained to a tin of sardines. He also talks about human beings; their place in the world, and what they do and do not comprehend.
Born in 1963 in Oberhausen, Germany, Thomas Lehmen lives and works in Berlin
In 1971, American sculptor Robert Morris produced the Tate Gallery's first ever fully participatory exhibition. Organised as a sequence of spaces in which 'objects to handle gave way to things to balance on and then to climb on or in', Morris intended that his 'Participatory Objects' would turn spectators into participants, giving them an opportunity to 'become aware of their bodies under different conditions'. Like contemporary dancers, they would experience 'gravity, effort, fatigue'.
Born in 1931 in Kansas City, USA, Robert Morris lives and works in New York
In the 1970s, Bruce Nauman constructed corridor sculptures in which the viewer becomes the performer. In Green Light Corridor the passageway is saturated with green fluorescent light and is so narrow that it can only be entered sideways. Speaking about a related work, Nauman remarks: 'It's very easy to describe how the piece looks, but the experience of walking inside it is something else altogether which can't be described. And the pieces increasingly have to do with physical or physiological responses.'
Born in 1941 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA, Bruce Nauman lives and works in New Mexico
The OpenEnded Group is a digital art collective which creates works for stage, screen, galleries and public spaces. Their new work, Stairwell, is a collaboration with dancer and choreographer Wayne McGregor. Installed in the gallery's stairwell, where McGregor was originally filmed dancing, this series of stereoscopic projections presents floating imagery which strives to cast the dancer's figure as a solid sculptural form for each moment of his movement. The OpenEnded Group comprises Marc Downie, Shelley Eshkar and Paul Kaiser.
Born in 1970 in Stockport, UK, Wayne McGregor lives and works in London
João Penalva's original aim in creating Widow Simone (Entr'acte, 20 years) (1996), was to learn the famous 'Clog Dance' from the ballet La Fille mal gardée, to be coached in the role by another dancer, and eventually to perform it himself. Besides exposing issues of 'ownership' and transmission of movement, the installation chronicles Penalva's physical struggles: 'I was, at 47, pretending to dance as young dancers do. I played myself 20 years ago.'
Born in 1949, in Lisbon, Portugal, João Penalva lives and works in London, UK
In 1960, after training in modern dance, Yvonne Rainer began to choreograph her own work. She developed a form of pared-down dance that incorporated repetitive movement and everyday props and was devoid of any emotion or drama. Trio A, which was first presented in 1966, consists of a series of unpredictable movements without structure, props, narrative or music, performed by people of all shapes and sizes, wearing workmanlike clothes.
Born in 1934 in San Francisco, USA, Yvonne Rainer lives and works in Los Angeles and New York
La Ribot's Walk the Chair is a randomly roving installation. The title of the work is an instruction to the visitor: pick up a chair, and walk it wherever you like within the gallery. You can then sit on it to watch a performance or a video, to read or think. Each of the 50 folding chairs that comprise the work has a different quotation inscribed on it; words from artists, choreographers, philosophers and ordinary people, mostly about movement.
Born in 1962 in Madrid, Spain, La Ribot lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland
Choreographer Xavier Le Roy and writer and critic Mårten Spångberg have devised Production, an intervention realised with the participation of a team of resident dancers. These dancer-participants, having been trained and directed by Le Roy and Spångberg, may rehearse movements of their choice from iconic works of post-modern dance. Alternatively, they may initiate encounters with visitors, triggering conversations and opening up discussions – about dance, about the exhibition, or about the role of choregraphy.

In the early 1960s, the sculptor Franz Erhard Walther defined art as a phenomenon that only takes on form through the actions of the viewer. This radically new concept was demonstrated in his 1. Werksatz (First Work Set), a series of fabric elements, or 'instruments', that were meant to be used: through being worn, or moved about, they place the user/wearer in a specific position. Each instrument dictates how the body behaves, either in isolation from other bodies, or together with fellow participants.
Born in 1939 in Fulda, Germany, Franz Erhard Walther lives and works in Fulda.
Franz West explains that 'my works aren't things that one just looks at, but things that the viewer in is invited to handle', and goes on to say, 'it doesn't matter what the art looks like, but how it's used'. He started making his portable, wearable, interactive Paßstücke ('adaptives' or 'fitting pieces') in the early 1970s. These abstract, unwieldy forms coerce the user into striking extraordinary and often ridiculous poses.

In her performance work Raise the Roof, each of Nevin Aladağ's dancers moves independently of the others, isolated from them spatially and by the fact that they all wear headphones. The individual performers dance to music which neither the other dancers nor the audience can hear. For the spectators, the only audible sound is the amplified noise of the dancers' stiletto heels ripping into the tarred surface of the roof.
Born in 1972 in Van, Turkey, Nevin Aladağ lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
Performed continuously for four hours each day over one weekend in November, Siobhan Davies's Minutes is a series of short, detailed, powerful and often humorous dance episodes which the spectator can view from every possible perspective. It was originally presented as one part of The Collection, which brought together dance artists, filmmakers and visual artists at the Victoria Miro Gallery in London in 2009.
Born in 1950 in London, UK, Siobhan Davies lives and works in London.
Everybodys is 'a collective effort' aimed at creating and developing dialogue between the performing arts and a wider audience. Their open source performance project Générique is based on a game structure that encourages make-believe and collective creativity: performers and audience come together to discuss an imaginary performance, as if the performers had just presented it and the audience had seen it. Through this discussion, they invent the performance together.
Everybodys was formed in 2005 in Berlin, Germany.

Lineate provides simple shortcodes for formatting poetry in the WordPress editor.
Lineate provides two simple shortcodes for easily formatting poetry in the WordPress editor.
The first is the stanza shortcode. To indicate a stanza, wrap the appropriate text the [stanza]...[/stanza] shortcode as follows:
[stanza] In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree : Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. [/stanza]
The amount of vertical distance between stanzas can be set on the Lineate settings page.
The second shortcode is for indicating individual lines within a stanza. To ensure that each line in the above example was rendered correctly, you would use the [lineate] shortcode as follows:
[stanza] [lineate]In Xanadu did Kubla Khan[/lineate] [lineate]A stately pleasure-dome decree :[/lineate] [lineate]Where Alph, the sacred river, ran[/lineate] [lineate]Through caverns measureless to man[/lineate] [lineate]Down to a sunless sea.[/lineate] [/stanza]
A new button is included in the visual editor for automatically wrapping individual lines in the lineate shortcode. To use the button, hightlight a single line, and click the button with the line break symbol (a red slash).
The lineate shortcode also supports indented or "dropped" lines, with three levels of indentation.
The horizontal width of each indent is set through the base indent value on the Lineate settings page. The default value is 30 pixels.
To indicate dropped lines, include the indent attribute as follows:
[stanza] [lineate]In Xanadu did Kubla Khan[/lineate] [lineate indent=1]A stately pleasure-dome decree :[/lineate] [lineate indent=2]Where Alph, the sacred river, ran[/lineate] [lineate indent=3]Through caverns measureless to man[/lineate] [/stanza]
In this example, assuming the base indent was set at 20 pixels, the second line in the stanza would be 20 pixels from the left margin, the third line would be 40 pixels from the left margin, and the fourth line would be 60 pixels from the left margin.
Requires: 3.3 or higher
Compatible up to: 3.4.2

European Commission announces proposal for a 'Trade Secrets' directive - .PDF file.
The Commission announced on 28 November 2013 a proposal for a Directive on trade secrets and confidential business information. The proposed trade secrets directive (full title: 'Proposal for a Directive on the protection of undisclosed know-how and business information (trade secrets) against their unlawful acquisition, use and disclosure') seeks to harmonise national laws of EU member countries by establishing:
- common definitions of trade secrets and confidential business information and circumstances when the acquisition, use and disclosure of a trade secret is unlawful;
- measures, procedures and remedies that should be made available to the holder of a trade secret in case of unlawful acquisition, use or disclosure of that trade secret; and
- sanctions in case of non-compliance with the measures provided and provisions on monitoring and reporting.
The proposal for a trade secrets Directive follows surveys and consultations in 2011/12 which concluded, among other things, that trade secrets effectively fill the gap between copyright and patent protection, but that the levels of protection/remedies afforded are uneven across the EU and this impacts on business decisions…

Scandinavian Men Say No, Thanks to All-male Panels
Even in Scandinavia, well known for its large female political representation, public debate is dominated by men. Business conferences with a 100 percent male speaker lineup are not rare. Some of these men are tired of debating only men, and are taking action to change it.
In Sweden and Norway, male speakers are now refusing to participate in conferences and panel discussions without female representation.
The idea is that men, when they are invited to speak at a conference or participate in a debate panel, will ask whether women are represented on the programme. If not, they will turn the invitation down say no, thanks.
In Sweden the campaign, with the hashtag #tackanej, was launched in November last year by three men, supported by the organization Equalisters. It has attracted more than 200 signatures, ranging from established media personalities to university professors and successful entrepreneurs.
– It's time for us men to stand back, realizing how increased equality benefits not only justice, but actual competitive advantage for companies and organisations, says Fredrik Wass, co-founder of #TackaNej in Sweden.
– There is a lot of talk about gender equality, but we decided to do something about it. This kind of intiatives can make organizers to really find the best and most competent persons to put on stage, Fredrik Wass continues.
In Norway the campaign, with the hashtag #TakkNei, was launched this week. The Norwegian list of signatories is currently growing, so far ranging from lawyers, CEOs to writers and politicians.
70- 80 percent of all the experts in media today are men, and if we continue to organize all- male panels and jurys we keep reproducing the image of an expert as a man. Saying no to all-male panels is an easy way to let more people contribute to a concrete change.
The Norwegian initiator Benja Stig Fagerland, Founder and CEO of Women Sp3akers, sees the Say No campaign as part of a new, international wave of feminism that is driven by social media.
All over the world, we see strong, digital networks that are challenging stereotypes and renewing the debate on gender, says Fagerland.
– Our goal is to turn Say No, Thanks into a Say Yes, Please yes to more female speakers and more diversity in debates and conferences.

Hi N,
The main lesson my children got from keeping pill bugs: Even lowly bugs need
care and maintenance. Lacking that they will croak. Good lessons for my five
kids for keeping all the turtles, birds, guinea pigs, and other critters yet
to come. The kids did learn this lesson well and we had a zoo at home until
they all grew up and left us to build their own zoos (10 grandchildren!).
Btw, sow bugs also show large antennae at the front end in addition to the
two short tails at the rear. Someone asked if sow bugs can roll up: They can
not. They are crustaceans and have gills through which they breathe. Lack of
water or moisture will kill them. WGS

It looks like we might sort of have a mayoral election this year.
Former Assemblywoman Lori Saldaña has decided to run against Mayor Kevin Faulconer. Saldaña spoke with me in advance of her decision for a wide-ranging Q-and-A that addresses her reasons for leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent and her plans. She said she's running to highlight income inequality and give voters a clear contrast to Faulconer – the only GOP mayor of a top 10 city.
Saldaña also addressed in detail her interactions with former Mayor Bob Filner. Recall that Saldaña had told Democratic Party leaders about Filner's behavior with women in advance of the 2012 election. But she didn't go public with the information until after his sexual harassment scandal began making waves and she had even endorsed him in the 2012 campaign. I asked why and she said she was a sexual assault survivor herself.
Saldaña said she's well aware her bid against Faulconer is a long shot. She's hoping to get him to debate her. As if to underscore how much of a challenge it's going to be, recently released campaign numbers from Faulconer shows he raised more than $1 million last year.

Essential Evolutionary PsychologyBy: Simon J. Hampton (author)Hardback
1 - 2 weeks availability
Description"It is refreshing, in the wake of the sometimes uncritical enthusiasm for evolutionary psychology, to read a thoughtful and balanced account of the problems as well as the benefits of an evolutionary perspective on human behaviour". (Professor Anne Campbell, Durham University). Essential Evolutionary Psychology introduces students to the core theories, approaches, and findings that are the necessary foundations for developing an understanding of the evolutionary psychology. It offers a sound, brief and student friendly explication of how evolutionary theory has been and is applied in psychology. The book unpicks the very essence of human evolution, and how this knowledge is used to give evolutionary accounts of four of the central pillars of human behaviour - cooperation, attraction, aggression, and family formation. It also covers evolutionary accounts of abnormal behaviour, language and culture.

This review is from: ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: It worked (emphasis on the -ed) like a charm; bios easy to set up and very user-friendly.
Cons: After about a month and a half of owning it, it started freezing on youtube and hulu. I then decided to use a discrete video card to see if that would fix it. No change. I upgraded to windows 7. The problem got worse. I tried using Ubuntu. No change. My computer started freezing before the OS loaded, and also at random times after I logged in. I stress-tested the CPU to see if that was the problem. It wasn't. I tested the memory in the bios to see if that was the problem. It wasn't. I reset the bios. No change. I used two different discrete graphics cards (not at the same time). No change with either. I monitored the temperature of the northbridge and it was well within acceptable boundaries. This is the 3rd time I have attempted to write this review, and it looks as though the computer will not freeze on me this time. At this point, I am completely out of ideas, and my board is about a month and a half past newegg's RMA time frame.
Other Thoughts: I really hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. It was such a great board while it worked. I poured over forums and tech sites looking for clues (on another computer; this one freezes too often).READ FULL REVIEW

This review is from: ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: This was my first computer build, and I am confident to say that I will stick with ASUS in the future. It didn't come DOE, and the BIOS were easy and straightforward to set up. All of my components read as they were supposed to, and setting clock speeds for memory and the CPU was very easy, and that's without using the tubro key. The user manual was also easy to follow. This board has great potential for upgrading components.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Can't wait to play with the turbo key.

Brooke is the cutest little monster...
I say monster in the nicest way possible - she's a total sweetheart, just GIANT (I'm like 5'9")
I had my first lesson of the year in the outdoor arena on Friday :) I really like riding out there...there's much more room and everyone has more energy haha. Brooke was a little full of herself - she bucked a few times when I asked her to canter and did this amazing bunny hop thing when we were jumping. But overall, it was great!
Aaand...I shortened my stirrups a hole which I think helped me out tons. I didn't over post as much at the trot (bad habit I've had since coming back after the winter off) and I could actually sit her canter :D We also worked a lot on transitions (every combination possible, I believe) and I felt much more solid after actively working on it for an hour.
Jumping was a total failure, but thankfully that is only on video so you guys won't see it XD
Halting (sorry I'm so tiny!)
Trotting by
Zoomed in so you can see us better:
Cantering by.. -_- my position still needs work hah
Cantering the other direction
Aaand walking back to the indoor to jump a little (I'm holding a water bottle with one hand and the reins at the buckle in the other haha)
Brooke is such a good girl - we jumped 2'6" (not the whole course, just the last combination) and it felt goood XD
Pretty horse : ) You look really good on her.
thank you :) she's the first horse I don't feel GIANT on, haha
I'm 5'9 too and finally just found a horse I don't feel giant on too! Very cute horse, by the way.
You two look great together! She is beautiful :)
Lovely! You look good together!
She's really pretty. Your position in canter isnt that bad really, it's alot better than mine haha
Thanks everyone :)

On July 9, 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a significant sentencing decision in United States v. Park. In doing so, the appellate court handed the United States a rare, albeit hollow sentencing victory by vacating a probationary sentence. The facts of the case are rather unique. The defendant, Young Park, entered a guilty plea to one count of willfully filing a false corporate tax return in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7206(1). The tax loss in the plea agreement was $133,601. Given Park's prior conviction for conspiracy to commit mail fraud, his advisory Guidelines range yielded a recommended term of incarceration.
The defendant appeared before the district court for sentencing on October 11, 2013, during the two-week government shut-down. At sentencing, the district court made the following statements:
Look, I would not put this person in jail if not for the fact that he spent …eight months in jail and he comes out and he commits another crime years later…I have a hard time swallowing that.
However, the district court expressed significant concern with the costs of incarceration. Speaking directly to the prosecutor, the judge said:
One of the things that…I think concern me and my colleagues, especially when we get these messages from the administrative offices in Washington about cutting costs, terminating the employment of parole officers and probation officers; to what extent, given the economic dynamics in the country today, should the federal court Judge consider the economics of things in terms of sentencing to save the government needed money. Do you think that's a factor that's worthy of consideration today?… I will have to come to work without getting paid. Do you think that's something that a Judge should consider, yes or no?
Over the prosecutor's objections, the district court judge answered the question in the affirmative:
I'm going to say that I would probably give a period of incarceration if not for the financial pressures that the Court has, the court system and the government has. Especially low-level federal employees at the present time. And we really can't afford the luxury of paying another $28,000 to keep this person in jail under the circumstances and I encourage you to appeal.
The Court then expressly reaffirmed that its decision not to impose a sentence of incarceration was based solely on the government shut-down, asserting:
I'm making the record that I am not going to put him in jail only because of the economic plight that we are facing today….If we have to resentence him, we will later.
The Court, varying from the advisory Guidelines range of 15 to 21 months, then imposed a sentence of three years' probation which included six months of home confinement.
The government took the district court up on its suggestion and appealed. The Second Circuit in a detailed per curiam opinion took the uncommon step of reversing the district court on two separate bases – procedural error and substantive error. However, the government's victory may just be fleeting as the Second Circuit provided the district court with sufficient guidance to impose a probationary sentence again if it so desires on remand.
Procedural Unreasonableness
The Second Circuit found that the district court committed procedural error by failing to consider the six factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). The appellate court explained the role of a district court generally. First, the district court needs to properly compute the advisory Guidelines range for a criminal defendant. Second, after computing the advisory Guidelines range, the district court must consider the factors set forth in Section 3553(a). In this case, the Second Circuit found that the district court committed procedural error because the only factor that the district court considered was the cost of the government and the "economic problems" allegedly caused by the "government shut-down." The Second Circuit took umbrage with the district court statement "if we have to resentence him, we will later." It also noted that the district court stated that it would consider all of the Section 3553(a) factors on a remand. As such, the Second Circuit concluded that by failing to consider the Section 3553(a) factors, the trial court committed procedural error.
The Second Circuit also concluded that the district court committed procedural error by considering the cost of incarceration. The Second Circuit noted that 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sets forth the factors that any district court should consider when it imposes a fine in a criminal case. Section 3572(a) states: "in determining whether to impose a fine…the court shall consider, in addition to the factors set forth in § 3553(a)…the expected cost of the government of any imprisonment." As such, the Second Circuit found that a district court cannot consider the cost of imprisonment when deciding a defendant's term of imprisonment.
Park had argued that Section 3553(a) does not prohibit a district court from considering the cost of incarceration as an additional factor. However, the Second Circuit found that it was not going to "expand relevant sentencing considerations beyond those [already] enumerated in § 3553(a)." The Second Circuit further found that "[p]ermitting consideration of cost as an additional factor would be particularly inappropriate in view of 'the express conclusion of cost of imprisonment as a consideration' " in a different sentencing statute.
In sum, the Second Circuit found that by failing to consider all of the Section 3553(a) factors and by considering a factor outside of Section 3553(a), the district court committed procedural error.
Substantive Unreasonableness
The Second Circuit could have reversed the decision solely on procedural unreasonableness but it did not stop there. It proceeded to reverse the sentence on substantive unreasonableness grounds as well. It explained that "[a]ppellate review of whether a sentence is truly exceptional within the scheme of federal sentencing law is no more based on an algorithm or calculus than is the decision of a district court judge to impose that particular sentence in the first place." The Second Circuit added: " 'Reasonableness' is inherently a concept of flexible meaning generally lacking precise boundaries" and "it cannot be precisely explained." In short, this is what the term "abusive-discretion" means. In a footnote, the Second Circuit explained how a judge should view abusive discretion by quoting a former Chief Judge:
I know of no formula in this kind of case except to live with the record until one breathes it, to gain what one can from similar cases, to brood over the consequences, and, finally, if one's sense of rawness becomes blunted over time, affirm. But if the redness remains after days and weeks, take a big breath and reverse.
In the final analysis, the Second Circuit concluded: "in determining whether a sentence shocks the judicial consensus or as otherwise insupportable, we use our lodestar the parsimony clause of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), which directs a sentence in court impose a sentence sufficient but not greater than necessary[,] to comply with the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2) – namely retribution, deterrence, and incapacitation." This panel no doubt had that chafing redness.
In this case, the appellate court found that with respect to the factors set forth in § 3553(a)(2), the district court failed to articulate a sufficient justification for the sentence. The Second Circuit cited to a Guidelines' advisory note that discussed the limited number of criminal tax prosecutions relative to the likely high frequency of undetected violations, leading to a need for general deterrence. The appellate court further explained the "heightened need" for a term of incarceration because of Park's prior conviction for financial crimes noting that he had already served eight months in prison for fraud. The Second Circuit was particularly concerned by the district court's comment that "but for" the government shut-down, it would have imposed a term of incarceration. The Second Circuit quoted the district court as saying "I have a 'hard time swallowing' that Park spent eight months in jail and he comes out, and he commits another crime years later." Based on all of this, the Second Circuit, concluded that the decision to impose a probationary term was unreasonable. In sum, the government shut-down did not create a "blank check for the district court to impose whatever sentence suited its fancy." As such, the probationary sentence was substantively unreasonable.
Guidance for remand
Despite this favorable outcome for the government, its victory may be pyrrhic. The Second Circuit's decision was based almost entirely on the district court's findings at the October 2013 hearing. It was "the district court's view that, if the government were not shut-down, a term of incarceration would have been needed to satisfy" 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2). In making this statement, the Second Circuit gave a not so subtle wink and a nod to the district court judge. The appellate panel added: "We thus do not foreclose the possibility that the imposition of a probationary sentence on remand, after appropriate consideration of the § 3553(a) factors thus far left unaddressed, could be substantively reasonable as well." (emphasis in original).
Even after a resounding victorious appeal, the district court is still free to impose a term of probation.

In an era of digital music, the vintage record player is making a surprising revival. The popularity of vinyl seems to be at a high and continues to increase as we go on search for as greatest sound quality as possible.
It is true that a lot of us can't really tell the difference in the notes sometimes but audiophiles and sound engineers do notice the far inferior sound quality that is associated with digital music.
You might not have known this but when you use mp3 players and other playback devices that play digital music, you are compressing the sound waves produced. In comparison, old record players produce a far more consistent response and this is where these phonographs hold the edge. This is also the main reason for the revival of a device that shouldn't really have any place in producing music in this generation.
Yes, you can't argue with the fact that vintage record players look amazing and would be the perfect way to enhance your décor. However, due to the technology these days, should this device really be in such a high demand? Regardless of what we think, the increase in the popularity of the phonograph is in existence and sadly, a lot of audio technology companies are making poor quality versions of these devices and selling them at a high price. It is extremely important for us to distinguish between the good and bad vintage phonographs and buy one that has the best style along with the best sound quality. Just like with everything else, you should always be on the look out for vintage record players with the characteristics of style and substance.
Again, there are a lot of these phonographs available and the ones that will provide the best sound quality are the ones that are produced in the early days. If you find old school record players that were made in the 1970s or around this time then I'm sure you'll end up with a phonograph that has amazing sound quality. But of course, one thing to note is that these will only be able to play your parents' or grandparents' old records. On top of this, they may also be susceptible to damage and if something does break or get damaged, there won't be much of a chance of getting it fixed on the cheap. You definitely won't be having a manufacturer's warranty to fall back on. The only upside is that you can usually get these from places like yard sales for a relatively inexpensive price.
Trying to find the best vintage record player from a yard sale doesn't always turn out to be a success. This will entirely depend on what you intend to use this for. Will you be using it for show in your home or are you going to be playing your Dad's old records?
Regardless of which function, you will have to go out and check out the turntable yourself. This will tell you whether the design is appealing and the sound quality is good enough.
In my opinion, you should go out and buy a vintage turntable that has modern technology alongside an antique design. There are some vintage phonographs that are associated with this and one of the best sounding ones is the Pyle PTCDCS32BT. This looks amazing because it comes with a horn so it will definitely stand out more than any other decoration piece in your room. On top of that, it has all the essential features that you are going to need. It will produce good quality sound though this won't be the best around simply because these types of turntables are extremely difficult to find. For this reason, this Pyle vintage turntable is probably your best bet when it comes to getting a phonograph with high quality of sound. This will appeal to some people but may not be suitable for others because it definitely costs quite a bit. Due to this, you need to make sure that you evaluate all the options before coming to a final decision.
Make sure that you go out and visit a few yard sales while at the same time researching online for what you are looking for in a vintage record player. Spending a little bit of time doing will ensure that you will ultimately find success.

Topic: Plant Identification
Title: Plant Identification
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I live in east Austin Texas, close to Manor. I was pulling a particular "weed" out of the cracks of my driveway on 06-12-11. This weed has always reminded me of moss rose, but the flowers are not as pretty (nowhere near). Today (06-14-11), I came across some information on the Internet about a plant called Portulaca oleracea L., also known as purslane. This purslane in the Internet photos looks very similar to what I was pulling out of the cracks of my driveway. The reason that I'm asking is because Portulaca oleracea is an extremely healthy vegetation that is edible. If that is what I am growing, I want to grow more and try eating it. Of course, I don't want to try eating something that may be poisonous. I can send you a photo if you give me an email address or ftp site. Thank you.
Sorry, but we no longer accept photos of plants for identification. We were overwhelmed with photos and didn't have enough staff and volunteers to do the research to identify the plants in the photos. As you can read on our Plant Identification page:
"We would love to spend all day identifying native plants for you folks! However, we already spend all day (and most of the night) answering your native plant questions. Luckily, there are some excellent forums available to help you identify those mysterious unknowns."
You can send your photos to one of the links of the plant identification forums for identification.
From your description, howoever, it does sound as if you found either Portulaca oleracea (Common purslane), Portulaca pilosa (Chisme) or Portulaca umbraticola (Wingpod purslane). These are the native species of purslane that occur in Travis County. You can find more information and additional photos of these on the internet by scrolling down the species page in our Native Plant Database to the ADDITIONAL RESOURCES entry and clicking on the name shown after Google.
Our entry for P. oleracea certainly indicates that it is edible and no Portulaca species occurs on any of the toxic plant databases that we commonly reference:
- Cornell University's Plants Poisonous to Livestock
- Canadian Poisonous Plants Information System
- University of Pennsylvania Poisonous Plants
- Toxic Plants of Texas
- Poisonous Plants of North Carolina
We would caution about eating any plant, however, unless you are absolutely sure of its identity and edibility.

What is the most delightful Italian word? For my money, there is one that has the edge on pomodoro, vaporetto, risotto, Lamborghini, parmigiano, and even the overplayed amore. What heart does not leap at the mention of aperitivo? The word is like a smile. In Italy, the early evening aperitivo is more than just a drink. In the humblest of bars, you normally get nuts, crisps, a bit of cheese or mortadella with your birra, grappa or negroni. In posh joints, you get a lavish spread that those untutored in the ways of Italian restraint could easily treat as dinner rather than a prefatory morsel. It is this admirable tradition, especially strong in Milan, that the Italian beer maker Peroni is attempting to introduce to the barbarian north.
The company has commissioned a dozen toothsome nibbles from Giorgio Locatelli. The recipes are on the Peroni website and "will be available in a selection of bars and restaurants across the UK". Making it fashionable to have food with drink is surely the best way of overcoming our culture of intoxication, though I somehow doubt if baccala mantecato (salt cod purée on polenta) or parmigiana di melanzane (aubergines baked with parmesan) will make an appearance in my local, the Jolly Woodman. To initiate its aperitivo campaign, the company shipped a small party of giornalisti inglesi (not perhaps the most lovely words in Italian) to Milan for a night of sipping and nibbling. Selflessly, I agreed to take part in this onerous mission. Weasel readers have a right to know about Milanesi mouthfuls.
Before getting down to brass tacks (chiodi d'ottone), we were given a whirlwind guided tour of Europe's style capital. On via Guiseppe Verdi (Joe Green Street), we clustered into a box of La Scala for a peek at the legendary auditorium, stifling even on a mild spring day. "It was destroyed by bombs in 1943," said our guide, a no-nonsense lady of a certain age.
"That would be us," I remarked.
"I don't know," she replied. "I wasn't there at the time."
Scuttling past a Dumbledore-like statue of Leonardo, we whisked into the grandiose 19th-century shopping mall of the Galleria, where a hackette in our party was strafed by a radio-controlled toy helicopter. Apocalypse Now was followed by The Ten Commandments when our guide parted the Red Sea of a communist demonstration in the main square so we could get to the cathedral. Inside, sequoia-like columns leading to the distant altar were rendered indistinct by a numinous haze. Our guide charged towards her favourite item in this venerable pile. "It's a little bit sad but very interesting," she promised. This treat turned out to be Marco D'Agrate's 1562 statue of the flayed St Bartolomew, who carries his skin over his arm like a raincoat. "It's very accurate. Even now, medical students come here to study before their anatomy exams." Following this insight into Italy's cutting-edge medicine, our guide once more forged a passage through the world's best-dressed revolutionaries before bidding us a relieved "Arrivederci".
It was time to satisfy more earthly appetites. At the first stop on our aperativo trail, we struck Gold. That is the name, décor and presiding motif of Dolce & Gabbana's less-than-subtle style bar. Even the toilet cubicals are entirely gold except for a video screen built into the door to keep you entertained while attending to the call of nature. I would have described the decor as "Goldfinger's lair", though it was more Austin Powers than James Bond. Plates of nibbles were offered by waiters, who went down on one knee to do the serving. Feeling more than a bit like King Midas, I accepted what looked like a potato croquet – but what golden surprise lay inside? The answer: the inside of a potato croquet. This was followed by the soggiest onion rings I've ever had, cucumber rings topped by a squirt of something pink and utterly tasteless and tuna chunks in passion-fruit sauce. You would get better food in the Fort Knox canteen, but I don't suppose nutrition is high on the agenda for the nil-by-mouth fashionistas who patronise Gold.
Our second stop was a sprawling, noisy bar called Milano. Here the food wasn't bad, but you had to queue an age while cooks prepared little omelettes, tiny plates of sashimi or a few slivers of prosciutto. "A bit like the Ideal Home Show," muttered one of my colleagues. The third and final destination of the night was a mirrored cellar called Armani Privé, which, I shouldn't wonder, also has some fashion association. At 11.30pm, we were the first to arrive. The food here was worse even than Gold, in the sense that non-existence is worse than existence. Aside from the ice and slice in your glass, there was nothing to eat at all. Plenty to drink, mind you. This is because you have to buy a bottle, either champagne or spirits, if you wish to sit down. As our party demolished a litre of Absolut, it reminded me of the gruff barman in the Capra weepie It's a Wonderful Life: "We serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast." It was all too inglese for words. Though we didn't manage it during our night on the tiles, you can get great aperitivo in Milan. In fact, I've had it myself on previous trips. Obviously, much more research is required in this vital area. I return to Milan later this month.
