PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles are finally getting their quarterback back.
Perhaps too little, too late.
Michael Vick, the NFC's starting Pro Bowl quarterback a year ago, returned to practice Monday after missing three games with two broken ribs, and will play this weekend as last-place Philadelphia (4-8) meets the Miami Dolphins (4-8).
"I'll definitely be out there," Vick said. "I feel like I've got to be accountable for my team. I want to be there. You know, I just want to get back to doing what I love to do, and that's playing the game of football. There's nothing in this world like the game. I put my heart and soul into it, man, and I just wish I could have been out there the last three weeks, but it just hasn't panned out that way."
The Eagles were 1-2 without Vick, as former Titans Pro Bowl quarterback Vince Young tossed eight interceptions and just four touchdowns.
Vick suffered two broken ribs in the Eagles' 21-17 loss Nov. 13 to the Cardinals at home. The Eagles are 3-6 in Vick's nine starts this year, and he has 11 touchdown passes to go with 11 interceptions.
"He's back on top of things," center Jason Kelce said. "And mentally, he was all there today, which you would think with a guy missing a few weeks, that he would be kind of slow to come back, but he was on top of it.
"So, it was good to have him back."
The Eagles need to win their last four games to avoid their first losing season since 2005 and only their second in 13 years under coach Andy Reid.
"I just think we put ourselves in bad situations sometimes, including myself," Vick said. "I was a big part of it. ... Obviously, I wish I could have done more this year like I did last year, but that's just not the case."
The Eagles face the Dolphins on Sunday in Miami in a battle of teams with identical records, yet they're headed in opposite directions. The Eagles have lost four of their last five, and the Dolphins have won four of their last five.
Since Nov. 6, Miami has defeated Kansas City, Washington, Buffalo and Oakland, and lost to Dallas, 20-19, on a late field goal on Thanksgiving, after leading in the final minute.
The Eagles remain mathematically alive to reach the playoffs, although it is an extreme longshot.
"We've got to keep our heads up high, we've got to keep playing hard," Vick said, "keep trusting and believing in one another, keep believing in our coaches and the philosophies that are being taught here, and make the most out of this."
The Eagles are 3-3 on the road this season.
"We've still got an opportunity after everything that we've been through," Vick added. "We've still got a chance and we're going to play it out."
Vick, who didn't practice at all the past three weeks, said he worked out with no restrictions Monday and had no discomfort when he threw the football.
"I won't say (I'm) 100 percent, but we've still got a week to go," Vick said. "I get better each and every day. Still working hard in the treatment room to try to get better, but I went out and had a great practice and I feel good."
Vick has lost eight of his last 11 starts since winning eight of his first 10 after replacing Kevin Kolb as Philadelphia's starting quarterback early last year.
But he's still the Eagles' best chance to salvage something out of what looks like a lost season.
"It means a whole bunch to us," receiver Jason Avant said. "That's our starting quarterback and everyone knows it. We're definitely comfortable with the other guys in there. I think that it's going to be just exciting to play with him again and just having him back is going to be exciting for the guys.
"It's going to be a guy who knows the system in and out and we're excited about it."

Lakers add Xavier Henry for perimeter defense
The Lakers know what could make this season ugly, no matter how many pretty points Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol score.
Without consistent defense, the Lakers have little chance to exceed the expectations that they will struggle to make the Western Conference playoffs without noted defenders Dwight Howard and Metta World Peace. So the Lakers on Thursday added 6-foot-6 swingman Xavier Henry to recent signees Shawne Williams and Elias Harris. All three have considerable ability to guard the perimeter.
None of the three is guaranteed to make the team, however, as they likewise have considerable limitations on offense. Williams has been a proficient 3-point shooter in the past, but Henry -- a left-handed shooter -- has done little with the ball in three NBA seasons with Memphis and New Orleans.
The Lakers expect to have offensive-minded Nick Young starting in World Peace's place at small forward, with Wes Johnson another option. Lakers training camp begins Sept. 28.

Retaining control until final payment, offering discounts for early payments and requiring higher down payments for new customers are three strategies for smoothing out cash-flow issues "without losing personnel or productivity," he writes.

You have seen the terror of my dreams
I have eased you through the nights you scream
You have found what keeps me up at night
In our eyes we have both found some light
No more the cold through the walls to shake
No the dark shall not keep us awake
No more alone our souls shall journey
To our arms shall we both now hurry
Be mine forever for you'll never pry me from your side
Be mine for always for I shall make you my bride

When you're out in uncharted territory, you can't rely on street lights to illuminate your path. In the battle against the darkness, your rig needs to be equipped with an auxiliary lights arsenal. The Smittybilt Street Light Bar creates the perfect platform for arming your off-road warrior with a cache of lights.
The days of driving by Braille after dusk are over. Your Smittybilt Street Light Bar has room to carry up to four 9" diameter lights, so you can pack along enough candlepower to turn night into day. From long-range driving lights to foul-weather fog lights, your off road light bar can hold it all. What's more, the rugged 1.5" steel tubing construction is tough enough to withstand the harshest conditions out on the trail.
You won't have to dust off your TIG welder to install your Smittybilt Street Light Bar. Unlike universal truck light bars, your Smittybilt Street Bar is custom designed to fit your rig. And, you get a vibration resistant mount with only minor drilling required. For added durability against corrosion, your Smittybilt Street Bar Light Bar is finished with a thick black powder coating. And, it's backed by a 5-year warranty.

This light bar would look so much better if the light tabs were on the back side of the bar, reason is u can see the shiny nuts and bolts from any offroad lights u put on this lightbar, just looks kinda cheap?
Needs mods to fit
Good light bar
Reviewed by Mark D (Calgary, Alberta) Reviewed for a 2010 Toyota Tundra — Jan 26, 2016 11:55 AM
Took me a little over two hours to install. Mainly due to the mounts coming with welded nuts to screw into instead of just holes like instructions were made for. Cleaned up the nuts and screws with a tap and die and bolted nicely. Installed a LED 30in lightbar on it and holes didn't line up (its not made for a LED lightbar) so just drilled new holes. Also, needed to cut a slot in the Tundra lower drill to fit the bracket. Good product otherwise.
Nice light bar

This is the perfect bar to avoid drilling into your bumper to mount lights. Looks great on the truck. A little challenging to install but easy enough. Would recommend.

Nathan Adrian chills out after collecting Olympic gold
LONDON – Now that he's done swimming at these Olympics, Nathan Adrian has a pretty short to-do list: sleep in a normal-sized bed, watch the Olympics on TV and find a low-key pub where he can have a pint with friends.
After winning two gold medals and a silver, Adrian has earned the right to relax like that.
"I'm just kind of letting everything settle in," he told USA TODAY Sports.
Sometimes, what he's accomplished here in London sinks in when he's scrolling through his Twitter feed. Or, Adrian said, when he sees a medal count, "knowing I had a small part in that is really cool."
Adrian will bring his three medals home to add to his one gold from Beijing (from the 4x100-meter freestyle relay), and he said now that's he's got four Olympic medals, he will probably buy a safe to put them in.
The 6-7 swimmer is staying in London — in a hotel, not his twin-sized bed in Olympic Village— until Sunday's closing ceremony. Rumors have been circulating that the Spice Girls will be performing, which Adrian said he's heard and is "stoked" about.
After the closing ceremony, Adrian will head home to California.
"I'm going to do my best to sit and almost get bored after being so hyper-focused for an entire year," Adrian said. "It's time to chill out, relax and really reset. I'm not going to take that much time, but it'll be good."
Sometimes, he'll drive up or down the coast to give himself a mini-vacation in the form of a day trip. "It's so cool having that at my fingertips," said Adrian, who grew up in Washington state and moved to California to attend Cal-Berkeley in 2006.
Soon enough, though, Adrian will have to start focusing on training for Rio de Janeiro and the 2016 Olympics. There, he'll defend the gold medal he earned here in the men's 100-meter freestyle. In the most exhilarating finish of any swimming event of these Games, Adrian out-touched the defending world champion, Australia's James Magnussen, by one-hundredth of a second.
That was Adrian's first individual Olympic event — and these are his second Games — so he's been surprised that people are asking him if he's retiring after London. "Everyone's like, 'Are you done after this?' I'm only 23!" he said, feigning outrage.
Training for Rio might be easier than it was for London. Now that Adrian knows what it feels like to anchor gold medal-winning relay teams and out-touch one of the best sprinters in the world, he knows what it takes to do it again. And he wants to do it again.
"It's ignited a flame of passion," Adrian said. "Being on top of that podium, obviously it's indescribable. To try to get back there is a lot of motivation."
Magnussen, for one, will also have a great deal of motivation to return stronger in 2016. After finishing second to Adrian by 0.01, Magnussen broke down during an emotional news conference, calling the loss shattering.
Magnussen's breakdown was even tough for Adrian, who was sitting a few feet away from him that night.
"I'm a pretty happy guy, and I want everyone around me to be happy," Adrian said. "It's kind of sad to see anybody's dream (crushed) like that. … But in order to have winners, you've got to have losers. I was happy to be on the winning side."
That thrilling victory opened a lot of eyes. Adrian said he's getting recognized by non-swimming fans, and he's received congratulatory messages from everyone who's ever had his cellphone number.
With 22-time Olympic medalist Michael Phelps retiring and his incredible hold on the sport lessening, it might be time for other American men, such as Adrian, to step into the spotlight.
After he gets some rest.

How to Buy a Mattress
Mattress quality is difficult to judge in the showroom, so do your product research before you visit one. Here are some basic guidelines. As a general rule, it's best to buy the highest-quality set you can afford.
Foam Cushioning
High quality latex foam cushioning is longer lasting (loses resiliency slower) than polyurethane foam cushioning.
Springs and Thickness
Extra-thick mattresses require extra-long coil springs–not simply short springs that have been stretched. Otherwise your mattress will lose resiliency quickly. Compare spring samples before you buy. Often the number of springs in a mattress is an indication of quality, but not always. Nor is thick mattress padding an indicator of durability.
Mattress Size
If you sleep with a partner, opt for a king- or queen-size set to allow each sleeper extra space and so weight is not concentrated in the center of the mattress, where it can cause wear to the coil springs.
Tip: Never use a new mattress with an old box-spring. Mattress-and-box-spring sets are designed to work in unison (the springs align), which adds life to your mattress and ensures maximum comfort. In fact, experts claim that using a mattress with a mismatched box spring can reduce its life by 50 percent. It may also void the mattress warranty.
Thanks! You're on our list.

Three years on, not much has changed in the lives of Harris and Ronson, the two self-made entrepreneurs. Mr Ronson is still suffering financially and only his bankers are keeping his virtually bust property empire afloat. Sir Philip, whose quiet manner and bank-clerk looks belie a steely determination, is on the up and up. This week Carpetright, his second go at building a carpet empire, heads closer to a stock market flotation which is likely to value the 117-shop chain at some pounds 70m.
The flotation will be yet another demonstration of Sir Philip's staying power. Sir Ralph Halpern, George Davies, Gerald Ratner - the star retailers of the 1980s - came and went, their business reputations battered, their private lives a sharp contrast to Sir Philip's, happily married to Pauline for 33 years.
Controversially involved in the Debenhams takeover and the row over preferential allocation of shares in the British Telecom privatisation, Sir Philip also emerged unscathed from the financial scandals that so cruelly engulfed his friends, Mr Ronson and the stockbroker Tony Parnes.
Sir Philip, meanwhile, sold out of one empire and began building another. In 1988, with miraculous timing, he sold his stake in Harris Queensway to James Gulliver's infamous buy-in shortly before the recession blew through the high street. Sir Philip left with pounds 70m more cash to add to the pile he had made in 30 years of turning a three-shop chain into a giant but stumbling carpet and furniture group.
His comeback began almost before he left Harris Queensway. In the small hours of 6 July 1988, minutes before agreeing to the pounds 450m Gulliver buy-out, Sir Philip played a cool hand. Yes, he would go. But, no, he would not sign a no-competition clause with Lowndes Queensway, the renamed Harris Queensway. That was the start of Carpetright.
A few months of sailing his yacht around the Med was enough for Sir Philip. Within months he was back in the carpet business, opening one shop in Canning Town in east London, helped by pounds 1m in capital from MFI, the kitchens giant that now owns 20 per cent of Carpetright. The business expanded, but failed to make much money in the teeth of the decline in high-street spending. But Sir Philip, who controls 40 per cent via family trusts, turned the business around with the help of new capital from Natwest Ventures (the old Natwest County Bank helped to float Harris Queensway back in 1978) and by Phildrew Ventures, part of UBS, which each own 15 per cent.
The forthcoming flotation, well timed to tap the current appetite for new issues, should ensure that Sir Philip's backers turn each pounds 1m of original capital into around pounds 10m or so. The great survivor's second coming at only 50 should see his family stake valued at close to pounds 30m.
It represents another last laugh for Sir Philip. While he was sowing the seeds of Carpetright, Lowndes Queensway was falling apart. The carpet business performed reasonably but Sir Philip's earlier diversifications into furniture and electrical goods proved disastrous for the highly leveraged buy-in team. Gulliver had vastly overpaid for inheriting what one executive recalls was a mess - 'Cost controls were very loose, the furniture business was a shambles and we had questions over the value of stocks.'
Caveat emptor. Months before the buy-in the warning signs were all around. Sir Philip fired half his top management team and shocked the City by disclosing that profits were on the slide. In the event, Harris Queensway exited with profits of pounds 17m against earlier hopes of close to pounds 60m. Lowndes Queenway limped from one refinancing to another before going under just two years after Sir Philip had bowed out.
Ironically, about the only ones to benefit were the managers of Sir Philip's original carpet operation. They bought the business out, and today Carpetland is a significant high street competitor to Sir Philip's Carpetright.
The carpet king has been lucky but it has been a long hard slog from the bare lino in south London to his current Axminster lifestyle. On the early death of his father, the dyslexic teenager decided to take the three carpet shops he inherited and try to make a go of it, aided by his mother. She died a few years later. The boy expanded the business, adding shop after shop, and learned everything there is to know about his business. 'Philip is the best carpet merchant in Europe if not the world,' says a former employee.
In the process, he revolutionised selling carpets. To cut costs Sir Philip virtually invented the computerised carpet-cutting machine. An order is received, the machine reduces a huge roll bought from the manufacturer to the customer's size in seconds, and sends it off.
In 1978, some 20 years after he laid his first carpet, Sir Philip took Harris Queensway public. He owned the bulk of a business then capitalised at pounds 22m, and was a multi-millionaire at 36. It was a suitable reward for Sir Philip and his wife, Pauline, who helped him to build the business while bringing up four children.
Nobody would describe the couple as flashy, but they enjoy the comforts that money can bring. The big house, the fast cars, the yacht in the Med, the show-jumpers that went to the Olympics with David Broome aboard.
They are in many ways an archetypal Thatcherite couple who owe their titles to that other self-made scion of the high street - 'Only the Conservatives can deliver,' said Sir Philip shortly before the 1987 election.
But the Harrises do not advocate every tenet of hard-line Thatcherism. The couple, remembering their roots, show few signs of agreeing with Lady Thatcher that there is no such thing as society. They are ardent charity-givers, particularly to childrens' causes such as the NSPCC and Birthright. 'Philip has given away a large part of his fortune but he has not done it to get attention like some others,' says a former business associate. Sir Philip spends much of his time on fund-raising for hospitals in south-east London.
And he appears to have made remarkably few enemies on the way up. Even a senior executive he fired says: 'He is one of the most likeable people you could wish to meet. He also does not lack moral or human courage. When he fired me he did it man-to-man, face-to-face, not via an inter-office memo.'
But Sir Philip is not averse to cutting corners in the Square Mile as well as carpets in the high street. When he made his carpet joke to Gerald Ronson he owed the Heron boss a favour or two.
During the British Telecom privatisation Mr Ronson helped Sir Philip to make a huge instant profit on selling 237,500 shares at a time when ordinary punters were restricted to a top limit of 800 shares. Heron's insurance subsidiary had received a guaranteed allocation for underwriting the deal, and Mr Ronson passed some of the cream over to Sir Philip. Both men denied any wrongdoing, and after long investigation the authorities took no action.
A few months later, during Sir Ralph Halpern's bitterly contested pounds 560m takeover of Debenhams, the duo were once again ensnared in controversy. Between them, Mr Ronson and Sir Philip controlled a crucial stake in Debenhams, which had trading links with the old Harris Queensway, and at the final minute they swung the shares to help Burton to victory. The City was amazed, since Ronson could not stand Halpern.
Three years later the DTI probed the circumstances of Burton's victory but, after a confidential inquiry, took no futher action. Sir Philip said he had not received any fees for services to Burton. Sir Ralph observed gratefully that after the takeover he renegotiated Debenham's existing deal with Harris Queensway, moving most of Sir Philip's selling space 'to the top of the shop'.
But the big question mark over Sir Philip and Carpetright is whether an excellent hands-on owner-manager has this time round put in place a management structure that can work. Derek Hunt, the MFI boss, recently stepped down and Sir Philip has taken on the role of Carpetright chairman as well as chief executive, which will make him few friends among City institutions.
'He is an intuitive business genius but he ran Harris Queensway like a court, not like a public company,' says a close observer. 'When a business grows you can't write all the cheques and you can't visit every shop every weekend,' comments a former colleague. 'When you get big it's all about managing people not about managing carpets.'
The jury is out on this. But remarkably, even those who criticise Sir Philip agree on the forthcoming share offer of Carpetright. They will buy the shares on day one. But some foresee selling after a year or so just in case Sir Philip Mark Two begins to look like Mark One, where many shareholders missed the sell-by date.

Some Empirical Effects Of Using Permanent Striker Replacements
"This study uses survey data to examine issues related to legislation that would bar employers from permanently replacing striking workers. Hiring permanent replacements does not significantly affect the proportion of full capacity at which the employer operates struck facilities but significantly decreases the proportion of bargaining unit members who get back their jobs after a strike.

Prevention investigators in our Center and elsewhere have demonstrated that drug abuse prevention efficacy can be significantly enhanced by targeting individuals who are most vulnerable to developing problems and tailoring message content and format based on the characteristics of these individuals. Our previous work focused on drug use initiation and identified behavioral mechanisms (neurobehavioral response to reinforcing, novel and emotional stimuli) whereby the sensation seeking dimension of impulsivity is associated with vulnerability to drug use initiation and high sensation-value contexts enhance the efficacy of prevention interventions designed to reduce drug use initiation. Further development of laboratory models to identify individuals who are vulnerable to drug use escalation and development of associated problems and identifying the characteristics of these individuals that predispose them to vulnerability and/or influence the efficacy of targeted intervention materials is of critical importance for informing and advancing the field of drug abuse prevention. This application proposes five years of research to continue laboratory investigations of individual differences associated with drug use escalation and associated exposure to heavy drug use. Growing evidence suggests that vulnerability to drug-use escalation is associated with self-control mechanisms. A multidisciplimary approach combining personality measurement with laboratory abuse liability assessment, behavioral inhibition task performance and brain imaging methodologies will be used to examine impulsivity among matched groups of tobacco and marijuana users who have either maintained stable patterns of intermittent/light use (escalation resistant) or who have escalated to heavy use with and without extended histories of heavy use (escalation;escalation + extended drug exposure) to test the hypothesis that drug use escalation is associated with inhibitory neurobehavioral dimensions of impulsivity. Knowledge of the association between component dimensions of impulsivity and drug-use escalation will enhance understanding of vulnerability to and consequences of drug use escalation and thus our ability to design more efficacious tailored and targeted drug abuse prevention interventions.
Drug abuse prevention efficacy is improved by targeting at-risk individuals and tailoring interventions based on the characteristics of those individuals. Impulsivity is closely linked with drug abuse vulnerability. This project will support prevention science by identifying the neurobehavioral dimensions of impulsivity that are associated with vulnerability to and adverse consequences of tobacco and marijuana use escalation.

Gaga either wearing claws or morphing into some kind of robot at the launch of her fragrance in London in October.
Everything Lady Gaga does seems to be as much about getting people to love her as getting people to hate her. Because what kind of mega celebrity would you be if people didn't expend considerable energy hating you for what you wear (or don't), what you say (or tweet), and how you spend your charitable foundation's money? A terrible, boring one with nothing to talk about, that's what. A Jessica Alba WANNABE, and Hollywood has enough celebrities whose biggest strength is wearing chiffon. So here are some categories of Lady Gaga haters who, if anything, at least keep the entertainment world (and Gaga) interesting.
1. Religious Objectors
These women and men arrived at the office of the company promoting Gaga's South African concert at 10:30 Friday morning to protest Gaga's upcoming concert and existence, generally. According to Channel 24, an anti-Gaga contingent from the South African Council of Churches held a peaceful march on November 9 to the department of Arts and Culture in Pretoria to deliver a written request to ban Gaga from the country. Heat South Africa tweeted that the request was signed by chief director of arts and culture, Duduzile Nchoba.
Channel 24 says these people's concern is "the extent of Satanism in South Africa at this time, and that Gaga's visit could lead to an exponential growth in Satanism."
A huge protest of a Lady Gaga concert by Muslims took place over the spring in Jakarta, where Gaga was denied a concert permit.
In this video, you really get a sense of the scope of the protest (it was huge) and the passionate feelings against Gaga and what she represents this community harbors.
The concert, though sold out to 52,000 ticket-holders, was canceled. (Gaga wouldn't tone the show down to appease religious conservatives, but that might not have helped anyway.)
2. Fashion Critics
Gaga received the "fashion icon" award from the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers for America for her
extremely bizarre fashion-forward costumes, which she is, exhaustingly, never seen without. She's formed alliances with many designers, like Donatella Versace (here they are pictured together in one of their many normal "hey girl!" moments in Milan on October 1). In the "Edge of Glory" video, Gaga wore some vintage, excessively studded and strappy leather Versace stuff. New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn, one of the world's most influential, wrote that Gaga "looked embalmed in the black Versace harness," and wondered why Versace said she felt honored by Gaga's selection of the label, "unless, of course, she thought she had to say something nice about the superstar."
Horyn and Gaga's "feud" is ongoing, which hopefully gives fashion writers something to talk about in the off-season.
3. Anti-Fur Activists
This scarf with the fox head on it really put PETA over the edge, especially since she once told Ellen "I hate fur, and I don't wear fur." A PETA spokesperson posted a letter to Gaga on the web that read, "By wearing those dumb furs in a heat wave, you're making yourself a target just like the mindless Kim Kardashian." (Remember, Mindless Kim once got flour-bombed on a red carpet by someone who opposed her fur-wearing.)
Gaga responded, "To campaigners, save your flour to make bread for the children who are hungry. And Kim Kardashian is fabulous."
4. Vegetarians
After wearing this outfit — which felt to many like a ridiculous reprise of that America's Next Top Model episode with the meat shoot, though Gaga claimed it was all about standing up for human rights — Gaga told Ellen, "I meant no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian."
Or Cher fans? Because I wonder if they were okay with Gaga stealing attention from Cher's epic reprise of That Outfit with her butchered "dress" and "shoes." But I'm not quite sure if it merits a "Cher Fans" item on this list so, moving on.
5. People Who Like Cake

Terry Richardson and Lady Gaga join gross forces to ruin cake for everyone— Jenny Lesslie
In case you haven't seen it, this is a new video preview of Gaga's new song "Cake," which is a rap, involves her getting spanked in a bathtub by other women, and is sepia-colored throughout.
Also, this probably makes for enough recent pop songs about cake to put a moratorium on cake-themed songs for at least two years. Though if reality TV producers couldn't figure that out that one Alaska-themed show was enough, this is probably a lost cause, too.
6. Christina Aguilera
Xtina allegedly blamed (and that report is very sketchy, indeed) Gaga for crap sales of her Bionic album.
And according to recent (also very sketchy) reports, Xtina is EXTREMELY jealous of Gaga's new perfume. "Christina can be really low-class and has been saying she wants to kick Gaga's ass!" a source told Star. "They could easily end up at the same party, especially with the holidays coming up. Things could really get out of hand."
If Xtina should be jealous of Gaga for anything, it ought to be that her hair currently appears to be just one, nice-looking color.
7. People Who Fight the Spread of Eating Disorders
When Gaga let this hashtag about Her Kind not eating loose, a lot of her fans were upset since she had previously gone on in the press about being bulimic. And really, what kind of message is this? She's not a one-woman Fashion Week, she's a mega celeb. The National Eating Disorder Association tweeted back, "Huh? This is the same person who recently implored girls to stop dieting?"
8. Gay People
9. Homophobes
10. People Who Think They Did It First
On her tour, Madonna does a sampling of "Born This Way" in the middle of "Express Yourself" to show that the songs have the same chord progression or some such nonsense. Whatever, it's just fun to see Madonna perform "Born This Way," so this was nice for both of them, press-wise, and their fans. (Besides if you're going to be "feuding" with people, you want it to be with people who are at least a few steps up from Xtina.)
See the "Born This Way" interlude at around the 3:00 mark in this video.
11. Anti-Weed Activists
Gaga, who dressed as weed for Halloween, drew many fans but also haters for making weed one of her Things this year. Staten Island Borough President James P. Molinaro said, "We have to understand there's a tremendous influence with our youth, which I didn't have as a youth. And there's the influence right there. Stop glorifying drug use." Adding, "There's Gaga. Here's this … I'd call her a slut. This slut is influencing many, many children."
See? This is the kind of thing that only gets her more fans. Which is why, if you're a celebrity, you need a lot of haters to be hugely famous.
And Gaga's just thinking…

You're a rare writer if you don't occasionally suspect yourself of plagiarism, of unconsciously stealing phrases from your favorite author or appropriating plot points from books you've read as a child. Or maybe, you're haunted by a sneaking suspicion that everything is something you've read before. But maybe that's not a bad thing. The books below not only acknowledge the artistic impulse to use borrowed material, they embrace it as the cultural phenomenon it's become. The digital revolution means that an audience can, for the first time, respond rapidly, actively, and en masse to whatever content they choose to work with. One need only type the word "parody" into YouTube to see how far people have run with that freedom. From DJs to fanfiction, these authors examine appropriation, remixing, plagiarism, and the idea of what constitutes art.
A theorist and artist, Amerika takes "source material everywhere" as his mantra, and in remixthebook he weaves together works by everyone from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Stephen Colbert into a quasi-poetic theory of "remixology." He argues that our technology-laden consumer culture allows for innovation but kills creativity, forcing artists to approach self-expression in a new way. Rather than creativity, he emphasizes the search for novelty; art that re-presents source material simply to create a sense of newness. Because Amerika considers life an "on-the-fly remix of who we are," it doesn't matter whether that source material is emotion, a walk by a lake, or another artist's work. Regardless of where you find inspiration, or from whom you steal your source material, Amerika is unequivocal: "Somehow you have to find a way to make art."
Following Amerika's call, Gauntlett insists that artists must connect "materials, ideas, or both"—remixing them, as it were—to produce something meaningful. A great deal of this book is an argument in favor of crafts (as in, the other half of "arts and"), but Gauntlett also devotes several chapters to how philosophies of craft can be applied to web culture. Gauntlett emphasizes social connection as an aspect of creativity—arguably the motivating force behind most of the remixed content being shared online—and more importantly, he provides an encompassing and intuitive definition of creativity. Gauntlett furthers Amerika's notion that a work need only be novel in its own context, and, more significantly, evoke "a feeling of joy." After all, it's this joy, rather than a Platonic ideal of originality, that drives people to, for example, create their own hours-long retellings of Star Wars films, and it's this joy that underpins Gauntlett's utopic vision of a remixed society.
Ugresic riffs on the idea of inserting one's voice where another has come before, and claims that statistically, most contemporary art and literature is made by amateurs. Unlike Gauntlett, Ugresic views amateur art through a cynic's lens: since participants have less "artistic pretension" and care more about simply making their voices heard, karaoke—her metaphor for all such derivations—degenerates into "narcissism, exhibitionism, and the neurotic need for the individual to inscribe him or herself on the indifferent surface of the world." At the same time, though, she holds that the work of amateur artists is neither plagiarism nor imitation, because those terms no longer make sense. Writers who cannot adapt to internet media culture, Ugresic contends, "are about to go extinct." The essay closes bemoaning the loss of authenticity: While Amerika claims one's entire life is a remix, Ugresic worries that when everything is an anonymous rehash of something else, genuine creativity will be lost.
Stemming from a class he teaches at the University of Pennsylvania, Goldsmith's book-length essay coins the term "uncreative writing" and offers examples to explain it, from a site that collects Facebook updates and replaces users' names with those of famous dead writers ("Arthur Rimbaud is so sleepy!") to sites that alter images by changing .jpgs to text files and inserting Shakespearean sonnets. Working off the idea that "context is the new content," some of these enterprises are even less transformative: one blogger reproduced the entire text of Kerouac's On The Road by retyping it word-for-word and posting it one page at a time. These experiments do not meet the usual standards of art—except perhaps Andy Warhol's, whose biography gets more than a few pages—but Goldsmith defends their worth in our post-modern world. At one point, he relays his intense reaction to a writer reciting and reframing a court brief—the supposedly objective "statement of facts" of a child molestation case—as literature. The recitation at first horrified him, but then forced him to abandon disgust for analysis. This was itself a stunning revelation; evidence to Goldsmith that the performer was right in stating, "there's no such thing as an innocent bystander."

The Essex Green, with I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness
The weather is always better when the celestial pop sounds of the Essex Green waft through the air. Unlike many of its Brooklyn neighbors, who are more interested in sounding like totally angular and raucous hot shits, the Essex Green fills its sound with lucid and dreamy harmonies culled from a late-'60s songbook, la the Mamas & the Papas (all three EG songwriters -- Chris Ziter, Jeff Baron and Sasha Bell -- share equal time on the mike). Gram Parsons-style countrified melodies hold sway on "Rue De Lis" and "Sin City" from the new Cannibal Sea CD. The music throughout the disc is idyllic, with gleaming violins, tambourines, organ and acoustic guitar combining to make a perfect soundtrack to a picnic in spring. Prepare to see green.

Ian Paisley's abrupt resignation as First Minister came amid secret DUP plotting to ease him out of office, a controversial new book claimed today.
The Fall of the House of Paisley by Belfast Telegraph journalist David Gordon argues moves to unseat the veteran political firebrand were more subtle than a coup and the party managed to avoid a public bust-up.
According to the book — from which an exclusive extract appears in tonight's paper — documentation seeking action over the party leadership circulated for DUP Assembly members to sign as internal unease over the leader's negotiations with Downing Street and "Chuckle brother" relationship with Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness grew.
"The available evidence, such as it is, points to this being a planned operation. The documentation more closely resembled a letter than a petition.
"MLAs have privately said they signed it individually, with no sight of the other names that may also have backed the call," the book says.
"The full facts of the internal manoeuvre may be permanently lost to the history books, as a result of the DUP's strict confidentiality regime. Just like the mafia, omerta — the code of silence — applies here."
The book says the secret documentation never actually got as far as Mr Paisley himself, but it is believed he was alerted about "unrest in the ranks" by Executive Minister Edwin Poots, a long-time ally of the Paisley family.
"It seems too neat to suggest that it was actually part of the plan to have someone like Poots warn the party leader about the situation. But the fact that the "message job" — to borrow another phrase from the mafia — was delivered did the operation no harm at all."
Four days after Mr Paisley Snr re-appointed his former Junior Minister son, Ian jnr, to the Northern Ireland Policing Board — which caused anger within DUP ranks and was viewed by some observers as a de facto declaration of war against those agitating for a new leader, Mr Paisley announced his retirement.
"The word coup does not really capture what happened in the party. It was more subtle than that ... put another way, he jumped before he had to be pushed," the chapter All Fall Down records.
"A public bust-up was avoided. It was all dependent on Paisley playing his part. Like the old pro he was, he carried off the role extremely well."
Today's extract also points to a significant article which appeared in the Irish Times in mid January 2008 — just before Mr Paisley officially vacated his position as Free Presbyterian Church Moderator — in which London editor Frank Millar quoted one unnamed MP pointedly questioning Paisley's "capacity to continue doing the job".
In a frosty response, Mr Paisley said: "No Dublin newspaper will drive me out of a job", but there was no statement from the DUP parliamentary party refuting Millar's claims.
Not long afterwards his wife, Baroness Paisley, told the Belfast Telegraph: "He is doing a jolly good job. If he was not, I would be the first one to say to him 'give it up'." A DUP source responded: "She would like him to stay but he is more accepting of the fact that that is not achievable."
There was no immediate response from the DUP today.
