[Editor's note: Not surprisingly, pop icon Michael Jackson has come up more than once in ARP discussions of race, self-esteem and Eurocentric beauty standards. How does one explain to children a young, black man seeming to morph into a white woman? How does one explain to children an icon of black music–a Motown star no less–that seems to hate his blackness? With the passing of pop icon Michael Jackson, we thought we would re-post some pieces about him, written by ARP contributors. Next week, columnists will weigh in on how to address the King of Pop, his passing and the ensuing media circus with children.
The following post was written by ARP columnist Liz Dwyer in January 2008.]
About a month ago my husband came home with the December issue of Ebony magazine. I grew up seeing copies of Ebony around the house and so did he. But neither of us really read Ebony these days, so I was curious when I saw the top of the magazine peeping out from under a bag of apples.
I picked up the magazine, saw the whole cover and immediately understood why my husband bought it: Michael Jackson was on the cover.
My immediate reaction was to furtively hand it to him and hiss, "Hide that thing before the kids see it!"
He immediately understood me and tucked it into his bag.
This may seem like an odd reaction, but Michael Jackson has been a mythical figure in our household for a good part of this year.
It all began one day when I was watching VH1 Classic and Michael Jackson's "Beat It" came on. My sons, ages four and six, were completely hypnotized. They stared at the TV with their mouths hanging open. And as the video played, they both wanted to know, "Mommy, who is THAT?"
"That's Michael Jackson," I replied.
"Michael Jackson," they breathed reverently. And I knew how they felt. That era, the "Off the Wall" and "Thriller" era of Michael Jackson was simply amazing.
"I wanna see that again," my youngest demanded. He didn't care when I told him that I couldn't just make the TV channel replay a video. And before long, his demands escalated into a tantrum and he got sent to timeout. Twice.
Later on I heard him saying, "I'm Michael Jackson," and singing, "Beat it! Beat it!" to himself over and over again.
When my husband came home that night, the boys were eager to tell him about their latest obsession. And my husband was happy to dig through a closet and pull out a dusty VHS tape of ancient Michael footage. The tape had videos for songs like "Rock with You" and "Beat It" as well as footage from TV performances like "Motown 25" where Michael first did the Moonwalk.
But, by the time my boys began viewing the video for "Smooth Criminal", they were confused. Those of us who've been alive during the past thirty years have witnessed Michael's changes gradually: skin color lightening, hair straightening and facial features morphing. But for a couple of kids to see it within the blink of an eye, it's really confusing.
Plus, in "Smooth Criminal", Michael's wearing a hat and his hair is longer than in the previous videos. And the skin tone on his hands isn't the same as what you see in "Beat It".
"Are you sure that's Michael Jackson?" my six year-old queried. I could hear the disbelief in his voice.
"Yes, that's Michael Jackson," I answered. But I wanted to say, "Nope, it's not," and shut the tape off. I'd never imagined that I'd need to strategize around how to talk about Michael Jackson's physical transformation. How to explain something that most of us adults are still trying to come to terms with?
"No. No, that's not Michael Jackson, mommy," my son insisted and his little brother agreed, proclaiming, "Michael Jackson looks like me!"
Both kids wanted me to immediately turn off "Smooth Criminal" and rewind back to their favorite, "Beat It". I was happy to comply; happy to go back to a Michael who seemed to have already had some work done but still resembled a black man.
I'm not one to debate whether or not the man really has vitiligo and has chosen to go through a de-pigmentation process. But I do know that his hair becoming less kinky and his nose becoming a shadow of its former self has nothing to do with a skin disorder. Those things point to someone running from the hallmarks of his own blackness, and that's not something I want my sons, with their fledgling black identities, to see.
And so in our home Michael Jackson's appearance has been frozen in time. My sons have gone along these past few months thinking Michael still looks like he did in the early 1980s.
Inevitably though, my husband left the copy of Ebony sitting in the bathroom. My six year-old marched into the living room a couple of days ago holding it. He curiously asked me, "Mommy, who's this?"
I felt a little like a parent who must finally tell their child that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy don't really exist.
"That's Michael Jackson."
My son started laughing. He found my response so funny that he called his four year-old brother into the room and said, "Mommy's trying to trick us!" He pointed to the picture and continued, "Mommy said that's Michael Jackson!"
"Well, it is Michael Jackson!" I answered back.
There was more uproarious laughter as my son proclaimed, "Mommy, that's not Michael Jackson! Michael Jackson's not a white lady!"
They laughed even harder and the little one fell to the floor and began to roll back and forth while clutching his tummy.
And it would have been funny if I'd been joking. I mean, who'd have thought that "Beat It" Michael would turn into the image that's on the cover of Ebony?
I wished I could tell them that it was merely a mask and that an unaltered Michael with a proud, wide nose and beautiful kinky hair awaited them inside the pages of the magazine. But that's not the case.
I reminded them of the "Smooth Criminal" video and how they didn't believe me then and didn't want to watch it. I told them that Michael just kept on changing himself after that.
Of course, they got really quiet and wanted to know why and how.
I made the decision not to bluntly tell my sons something like, "Well, because of the insidious effects of racism, Michael hated being black so he cut and pasted himself into what you see on the cover of this magazine." I could already see they were shocked and I didn't want them to start feeling like there was something wrong with them too.
So, I told them that Michael says he has a skin disease that makes him lose his skin color. They had a lot of questions about that, particularly around whether or not they would also get this disease.
And then they asked about the nose and hair. I told them that Michael does what a lot of people do when they're unhappy with the way they look: He changes his appearance with makeup, wigs and surgery.
It became another opportunity to talk about how to love and appreciate the skin, hair and body that you've been born with.
My sons ended up feeling sorry for Michael and wondered if doctors could change him back to the way he was before. I told them that I didn't think so.
My savvy eldest wistfully touched the magazine cover, sighing, "Do you think he wishes he could still be brown like me?"
I wonder if any of us will ever know the answer to that question but I told my sons what I hope in my heart: Yes.

Basic Of Alcohol And Other Drugs Psychology Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Cassidy is at high-risk of alcohol dependency. She finds it to difficult to cope in crisis and often turns to alcohol to calm her nerves. These high-risk have to do with coping or daily functioning skills, in which risk increases with weakness. (Sneidman, 1985). Cassidy's alcohol dependence may result in emotional or cognitive overload, which in turn became unbearable for her (Shneidman, 1985). Therefore, being mindful, not only to a leading causes or stressor, but looking at her life conditions that may push her towards drinking (Clark, 1995). Unless the psychosocial influences changed, her drinking patterns will remain.
Would you take abstinence or harm minimisation approach? Why? (Make sure you define harm minimisation).
Harm minimisation approach (Bellak & Seigel, 1983; Fujimura, Weis, & Cochran, 1985) is the recommendation for Cassidy. The primary aim is to help Cassidy to reduce her use of alcohol and the impact associated with her drinking. This approach accepts that she make choices whether to drink alcohol or not (Shand & Gates, 2003).). The focus remains on preventing harm while she continues to drink. Therefore, the aim is not to pressure Cassidy into abstinence, rather the goal of harm minimisation is to increase coping mechanisms and social supports, so that she can reduce alcohol consumption to the right level.
Harm minimisation control social functioning during in-balance to ease immediate effect of difficult stressful events and it is a way of reducing the stressful effects of drinking and strengthens her coping throughout her crisis (Mariatt & Witkiewitz, 2002).
Therefore, I will strongly recommend to her as an immediate action to engage drinking only light to moderate alcohol. She should drink not more than two standard drinks per day, which is 20 grams of alcohol (Shand & Gates, 2003) Engaging in this modified controlled drinking behaviour, to start will give some excellent results to her health and lessen the chance of getting other disease.
What psychosocial intervention(s) if any would you select for this person? Why? Ensure that you include (1) an outline of the theoretical underpinnings or framework of the intervention e.g. motivational interviewing's theoretical underpinnings include Stages of change and the Transtheoretical Model) and (2) a brief review of the study
"Cognitive Behavioural Therapy" focusing on coping skills and healthy behaviours (Longabaugh & Morgenstern, 1998) will be useful for Cassidy. Other techniques such as controlled drinking strategies may also be useful (Miller & Caddy, 1977). Applying respectful listening and empathy are effective for people in Cassidy's situation (Roger & Farson, 1957).
"Cognitive Behavioural Therapy" focuses on changing two main types of thoughts: unhelpful (automatic) thoughts that occur day to day and the core beliefs that drive these thoughts (Beck, 1995). CBT shows to have the same effectiveness to pharmacotherapy and may add protection to Cassidy against relapse or recurrence after the treatment end.
CBT aims to make the process of therapy more understandable to Cassidy. Cassidy will feel more comfortable when she knows what to expect from the session. She will clearly understand the role that she is expecting to do. What she does outside the therapy is an essential part of the CB. This is referring to the between-session practices or homework. CBT will help Cassidy become better at helping herself in her everyday lives (Egan 2002). CBT will help her asks and answers for her self's questions like; problems, issues, concerns, or opportunities that should be working. CBT will help her clarify the key issues on calling for change. It also involves identifying her expected results from treatment, like solutions that make sense, what does she want her life to be, or changes that would make her happier. In addition, help her develop strategies for carrying out goals. Goals such as how will she get what she need and want, or plan to get where she wants to go.
Building a trusting link is when she and I cooperate in planning and carrying out the intervention (Egan, 1998). CBT give support in which Cassidy can actively work towards change, and reduce her fear and distrust of treatment programs, and by it encourage her to continue attending treatment and follow-up appointments (Ashley et al, 2003).). Providing a non-threatening and kind environment in which she can address sensitive issues (Mattick, & Jarvis, 1993).
Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based treatment for assisting people with behaviour change (Miller and Rollnick, 1991). The principles of motivational interviewing are to have Cassidy; voice the argument for change and her statements provide the reasons for change. As Cassidy talks about her drinking and her current situation changing during a conversation, changes are likely to occur. Counselling that is performing in a reflective, and encouraging manner, resistance goes down while change talk increases (Miller and Rollnick, 2002). MI applies these stages of change with the aims to explore and identify feelings of ambivalence, and highlight differences and discomfort surrounding current behaviour to increase motivational for more positive health changes. Cassidy must make a decision for her self-make these changes happen.
Counsellor could help Cassidy to explore what the right things are about drinking. Example of this is to know if Cassidy is trying to avoid something or does drinking alcohol make Cassidy feel better.
In Motivational Interviewing counsellor asks Cassidy the reason behind her continues use of alcohol. Could be that alcohol offer Cassidy a sense of self, separate from parenting a way for Cassidy to assert her independence and freedom of choice? If so, to counsel Cassidy in her efforts to stop drinking alcohol, without exploring these identity issues, would continue to prove ineffective. Applying motivational interviewing is to recognise as well if other triggers and antecedents that may cause her to abused and dependent to alcohol. Before discussing changes, I will use reflection and would gather comment from her about how she is going? Examples of these are bringing-up children alone, and other significant reason that may contribute to her drinking. Identifying the right causes for alcohol dependence for the first time will bring light to her emotional, feeling, attitude, and behaviour states, and this give clues in the motivational change.
When behavioural changing is starting, I have to identify what change Cassidy's at, and this will help decide if she needs help to build her confidence, direction of importance, or both. A category that Cassidy may be the one least ready to change, and change as rather unimportant, and had little confidence that she would successfully make the change she needed. Or not motivated to change as she also sees the change as too hard. However, she does believe that she could change if she seriously wanted and tried. Also, she may consider the necessity of change, and she is prepare and willing to change. (Miller and Rollnick, 2002).
The stages of change model show that changing drinking alcohol behaviour takes place gradually. Once seeing the negative results of drinking alcohol in her life, Cassidy can develop making changes can begin. One-way of looking at making change is the stages of change model (Prochaska and DiClemente, 1984) of client's motivation which is use to assess and encourage their motivation to change. She may move from being not interested, not aware or not willing to make a change. This model help explains the basic role of exploring ambivalence in regards to motivation can have in changing drinking patterns. The strength of commitments to change first is the driving force to enable her to escape from being dependent or abused of alcohol. It is possible to track how ready Cassidy to benefit from treatment using the stages of change. Cassidy must progress through different stages of the change on her way to achieving the completed goal at the end. Her progress will pass through the stages at her own pace which may be unique to her needs (Connors, Donovan & DiClemente, 2004).
By applying the stages of change model, I would interview Cassidy at the contemplation stage. Expressing empathy, reflective listening, affirming, and providing support, and encouragement, which are necessary. When Cassidy struggle with ambivalence and doubt about her ability to carry out the change, a reasonable approach, is to ask her about possible strategies. Cassidy may have strategies to overcome barriers and then arrive on a joint decision to follow one strategy before the next visit. It is also productive to ask Cassidy about her previous methods and what she tries to change behaviour. Barriers and gaps in her knowledge can then surface for further discussion (Miller & Rollnick, 1991).
At preparation and determination stage in Motivational Interviewing Cassidy's motivation may reflect in the statement by saying, "I've got to do something" or "What can I do to change?" Cassidy may begin to explore on her issue. Cassidy may look or phone for information centres such as clinics seeking advice from counsellors or relevant specialist. Cassidy will begin to find and put together list of information available that she is going to need. Like treatment needed with her drinking, and how Cassidy can find a solution to her emotional, feeling, attitude, and behaviour (Kern, 2008).
At the stage, of action Cassidy need to decide and initiate the required changes in her negative behaviour. At this stage, is when Cassidy need to become actively involved in taking the necessary steps to change by using a series of techniques she has chosen. During this stage, Cassidy is most at risk of relapse. She may review her commitment to her self. Develop plans to deal with her personal and other external pressures that may lead to relapse. Cassidy may tend to be more open to receiving assistance and is likely to seek support.
At Maintenance stage of change is the successful avoidance of any temptation to return to the negative habit. Cassidy arriving at this stage may remind her self of the effort it required to get her to this stage, and how much progress she had made.
Relapse is when Cassidy can analyse why and how the relapse occurred, and to use it as an opportunity to cope differently, and make relevant changes to her change process. When Cassidy face challenges she must think what to do straight away.
What relapse prevention strategies would you integrate the two treatment approaches?
Cognitive and behavioral strategies to prevent or limit relapse episodes is the best recommendation for Cassidy. Relapse prevention using CBT is changing drinking behaviours seen as a combination of extinguishing the connection between pleasure seeking and/or pain reduction. Helping Cassidy to build new coping skills behaviour so she can replace addictive behaviours (Marlatt et al, 2002).
This includes Cassidy's recognising those particular high-risk that might lead to a relapse. This involves reviewing a list of common relapse, recognising any of those obstacles that can cause difficulty for her, and devising methods to either avoid these circumstances or manage any situations with no alcohol drink (Marlatt & Gordon, 1985). Example of high-risk situations is when Cassidy is angry after coming home from work and face with tasks looking after children and preparing a meal. Negative emotional states such as anxiety, depression, frustration and boredom are also high-risk factors for relapse. (Marlatt et al, 2002). "When Cassidy feels agitate with her children or other person" also result in negative emotions and can precipitate relapse. Marlatt (1996) suggest high-risk situation like Social pressure, including both direct verbal or nonverbal persuasion and indirect pressure (Example; being around other people who are drinking. Positive emotional states are also high-risk which includes like attending party. Stimuli or cues like seeing and advertisement for alcohol drinks, or passing by to her favorite bar and bottle shop. Cassidy would have to identify that some cravings can also precipitate relapse (Marlatt et al, 2002).
Another relapse prevention is cognitive coping skills strategies, which includes thinking certain health that will results not to drink, and damaging health and other effects of returning to harmful intake of alcohol. This includes any belief associated with drinking that may hinder and disrupt her change. Cassidy will have to monitor her drinking level, and behaviour, and her response to the situation that determines whether she will experience a lapse (e.g. begin using alcohol).
It is critical for Cassidy to learn how to identify early warning signs of relapse and seemingly irrelevant decisions, as this will help her to be mindful of high risk situations that could result in her returning to her current drinking levels. These high-risk situations need to be explored with her and a plan develop that will allow her, to manage these problems more effectively (Dimeff & Marlatt, 1995).
Any special considerations for the person's age/gender/culture?
Difficulties may arise due to differences and misunderstanding between Cassidy's culture (Australian) and mine as Malayan. Although in CBT, some primary aspects of the therapeutic relationship are the same. Like, caring, empathy, trust, and genuineness. There are other aspects, which are use in Cassidy's culture that can undermine her way or values, such as the heavy individualistic focus of Western therapies that I am used to. There are cautions where CBT or Motivational interviewing should not be involved; these include knowledge areas such as women's business and she might do in her private life. Counsellor should be responsive according to a variety of factors contained within Cassidy's issue. To work with Cassidy, first, counsellor need to establish networks within her community, in order to build cultural checks and balance. This will allow for cooperation and demystifies their role (Garvey, 1994). Intervention with Cassidy mean endeavouring to work in shared partnerships. If the situation arises, like in Cassidy's case, is to refer first to other more appropriate community people or elders in the community (Garvey, 1994).
As Cassidy is female, she can suffer more adverse effects from drinking alcohol, because woman's body processes alcohol more slowly than a man's. Since woman's body contains less water and more fatty tissue than a man's, alcohol remains at higher concentration in woman's for longer periods of time, and exposing their brain and other organs to more alcohol. Women have lower alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes that break down alcohol in the stomach and liver. As a result, Cassidy may absorb more alcohol into her bloodstreams than men.
Cassidy being a single mother of young children also has limited finances and limited supports. Marlatt, Parks, & Witkiewitz (2002) suggest that the amounts of stress in a person's daily life such as limited support, low economic status with limited finances (result in not eating properly), are situations that cause someone to relapse. In relapse prevention is to assess Cassidy's quality of life with a focus on looking at her lifestyle, and discuss this to Cassidy if any other intervention needed to assist her in approaching relapse minimization. Intervention can come from other agencies support group who are specialists in helping those people who lives in a remote community area.
Does Cassidy need pharmacotherapy intervention as well, like antidepressant naltrexone? This pharmacological agent is useful for helping people who are still drinking, and it is effective for reducing alcohol dependence in the short term.
My decision is not to incorporate pharmacotherapy. I believe that Cassidy's alcohol use needs to be addressed first through counselling using cognitive, behavioural therapy, as her drinking appears to be associated with her current situation as a single parent and her psychological problems (stress and possible depression). Cassidy's alcohol use is usually caused by physiological and psychosocial and can lead to mental problem (SAMHSA, 2011). Cassidy first need is develop and strengthened her social support networks.

Can't think of Indian cricket without Tendulkar: Kumble
Kumble, however, refused to be drawn into the debate of when Tendulkar should retire and said the decision should be best left for the veteran batsman.
"I can't think of Indian cricket without Tendulkar and I want him to continue," Kumble said when asked about Tendulkar telling a television channel that he will re-assess his future next month as at 39 he does not have much cricket left in him.
"It's a privilege to have shared Indian team dressing room for 13 years with Tendulkar.
Eventually, he will have to take the call (for retirement). But this question of when to retire should be best left to him only," added Kumble after launching his sports academy TENVIC at a city school.
Kumble said it's hard for any sportsperson to call it quits after playing for a long time at the highest level.
"For any sportsperson it is a tough decision and it is for the individual to take the call. Tendulkar will also eventually have to take the call," said the former leg-spinner.
On to other topics, the third most successful spinner in Test cricket disagreed with the view that spin bowling is on the wane in the game.
"It's not like that and spin is doing well. You have Graeme Swann of England and he is a fantastic bowler. There is Saeed Ajmal (of Pakistan) and we have R Ashwin who has matured a lot in the matches he has played so far for the country," he said.
"Then you cannot discount Harbhajan Singh who has taken more than 400 Test wickets and he is 32 only and some years to go on playing. So, it's good future in spin department in the India," he added.

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm done with e-bay.......the prices are absolutely absurd, so you'll never see me bidding there. As for the AKG-K1000s, I've toyed with the idea of getting a pair, but I can't get past how ridiculous they look. The only headphones I'm seriously looking at (and would buy them if I could find them) are the HP-2s, HP-3s, SR-200s, SR-300s, and the Sony MDR-F1, which is readily available. Denons, Beyers, JVC, Philips.......not interested........................................ ...........for now.

Washington's Blog
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
The Arizona Republic reports:
Sen. John McCain of Arizona … says he was misled by then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. McCain said the pair assured him that the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program would focus on what was seen as the cause of the financial crisis, the housing meltdown.
"Obviously, that didn't happen," McCain said in a meeting Thursday with The Republic's Editorial Board, recounting his decision-making during the critical initial days of the fiscal crisis. "They decided to stabilize the Wall Street institutions, bail out (insurance giant) AIG, bail out Chrysler, bail out General Motors. . . . What they figured was that if they stabilized Wall Street – I guess it was trickle-down economics – that therefore Main Street would be fine."
McCain isn't the only one to say that Paulson was doing a bait-and-switch.
The TARP Inspector General found that Paulson misrepresented the too big to fail banks' health in the run-up to passage of TARP.
Congressmen Brad Sherman and Paul Kanjorski and Senator James Inhofe all say that the government warned of martial law if TARP wasn't passed (Inhofe says Paulson was the one doing the talking).
And Paulson himself has said:
During the two weeks that Congress considered the [TARP] legislation, market conditions worsened considerably. It was clear to me by the time the bill was signed on October 3rd that we needed to act quickly and forcefully, and that purchasing troubled assets—our initial focus—would take time to implement and would not be sufficient given the severity of the problem. In consultation with the Federal Reserve, I determined that the most timely, effective step to improve credit market conditions was to strengthen bank balance sheets quickly through direct purchases of equity in banks.
So Paulson knew "by the time the bill was signed" that it wouldn't be used for its advertised purpose – disposing of toxic assets – and would instead be used to give money directly to the big banks. But he didn't tell Congress before they voted to approve the TARP legislation.

Tired of hearing that musicians of the last twenty years (or just the ones you like) have unprecedentedly filthy minds? Welcome to a blast-from-the-past BitchTape that speaks for itself! Chime in with your own faves in the comments.
1. "(Love is Like a) Heat Wave" by Martha Reeves & the Vandellas
Let's start off with one of my all-time favorite songs. This tune seems innocent enough for it to be covered in PG-rated movies, but I love its matter-of-fact approach to lustful attraction. It doesn't hurt that Martha Reeves knocks the vocals out of the park!
2. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by the Beach Boys
I started to write out examples of suggestive, restrained lyrics for this one, but they quickly became the whole song. Oh, adolescent dreaming!
3. "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" by the Shirelles
Where the Girls Are: Growing Up Female with the Mass Media by Susan J. Douglas has a lot to say about how this song nudged the still-taboo topic of female sexuality a little closer to the spotlight.
4. "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" by the Beatles
Sure, rumor has it that "I Want to Hold Your Hand" involved, shall we say, metaphors, but as they grew as artists, the Fab Four got a lot more overt.
5. "Love Child" by Diana Ross & the Supremes
And now, for the Tell Your Children!-esque portion of our program, Ross encourages abstinence because she doesn't want to "end up hatin'/The child we may be creatin'!" In her defense, musicians, like filmmakers, were often not allowed to address "controversial" topics unless they seemed to condemn them.
6. "Boogie Shoes" by K.C. & the Sunshine Band
Dear readers, I am so confused. While it's clear to anyone who cares what this song's about, what are "boogie shoes?" Are they condoms? easily removed clothes? or just... a really sexy pair of shoes?
7. "Wake Up Little Susie" by The Everly Brothers
Did they or didn't they? We, the listeners, might never know, but after a young couple inadvertantly spends the night together, they worry "What're we gonna tell our friends when they say 'Ooh-la-la?'" This catchy ditty also inspired the best Boy Meets World episode ever.
8. "Let's Misbehave" by Irene Bordoni
The oldie-est of oldies on this mix, this recording is from 1928. I also recommend Elvis Costello's 2004 cover, because what do you get when you cross a classic rock artist with a Cole Porter-penned musical number? A LATTER-DAY OLDIES HEAVEN! Maybe I should call it "Three Minutes in Heaven."
9. "Sugar Shack" by Jimmy Gilmer & the Fireballs
"I'm gonna drink a lot o' coffee, spend a little cash/Make that girl love me when I put on some trash" Again, I don't know what it means, but it sounds SCANDALOUS.
10. "Fever" by Peggy Lee
This track was considered boundary-pushing in the '50s—because of raciness, not its questionable examples of romance—but I can't hear it without thinking of Soldier's Girl.
11. "I Know What Boys Like" by the Waitresses
Okay, this one's a bit of a stretch since as far as I know, the ambiguous "oldies" blanket is not considered by most to cover the '80s. But hey, it came out in 1980, several years before I was born, and thus is categorized as such in my mind. Plus, it's a really spectacular song.
12. "Hanky Panky" by Tommy James & the Shondelles

I'm a big fan of the old

I'm a big fan of the old blues and jazz songstresses, and upon reading this I immediately thought of a couple of very overt songs:
First, "Need a Little Sugar in my Bowl" by Bessie Smith-- singing all the way back in the 1920s, Smith was a huge influence on artists like Billie Holiday and others.
The other song I thought of was "Big Long Slidin' Thing," by Dinah Washington-- in which Washington laments the loss of her 'trombone-playing man' and his titular instrument, and tells how other musicians don't compare.
Cole Porter
EliseN replied on
Cole Porter in general, I would say. I am often surprised by how racy his lyrics are—of course I'm drawing a blank right now, but go have a listen!

A fine selection! Here's some of my personal favorites...
Donna replied on
For another example from Tommy James and the Shondells, there's "I Think We're Alone Now" (most people know the Tiffany version, but the meaning seems to be lost in her bubblegum pop translation). Also, let us not forget "Angel of the Morning" by Merilee Rush and the Turnabouts, which in its time was a pretty rare example of a woman's take on a one-night stand.
Just listen to "Shave 'Em
Adrian replied on
Just listen to "Shave 'Em Dry" by Lucille Bogan. 1935, with lyrics like "Now if fuckin' was the thing, that would take me to heaven, I'd be fuckin' in the studio, till the clock strike eleven." As far as the '20s go, "My Daddy Rocks Me" by Frankie Half-Pint Jaxon has rather extended feigned orgasm (and is sung by a female impersonator), and "Prove It on Me Blues" by Ma Rainey, while not particularly sexual, is a rare lesbian anthem. I suppose '20s and '30s jazz isn't really "oldies" in the sense of the songs in the playlist, but they're good.
What about Serge Gainsbourg?
Rachel Flamenbaum replied on
The song "Je t'aime...moi non plus"was banned in 1969 a number of countries (including the U.S.) for lyrics that roughly translate to "I come and go between your kidneys," "Oh my love, physical love without end, I go and go and come," and Jane Birkin's lusty moaning in the background. Her groans were so realistic (cue, 'I'll have what she's having...') that some speculated that the recording was really of the then-couple having sex in the studio! And this after Serge had already recorded an equally scandalous version with Brigitte Bardot that so infuriated her husband, it wasn't released until the 80s. If that's not a precedent for contemporary "filth," I don't know what is.
nina simone
Cecilia Worlen replied on
the most sex-positive song i think i've ever heard: gimme some by nina simone.
honestly: "One of these mornings, just about dawn, You'll be working on my lawn, Gimme some"
Name Change
nikokiki replied on
"One O'Clock Jump" was originally named "Blue Ball". The radio DJ changed the name on the spot because he didn't think he could say Blue Ball on the air.
And we must not forget "Body and Soul".

Pulmonary medicine is the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the lungs and respiratory system. Our nationally recognized Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine program cares for babies, children and teens with conditions that affect their breathing. Our team includes doctors, nurses, social workers, respiratory therapists and a dietitian committed to providing complete and compassionate care for your child. We work closely with experts in many of Seattle Children's clinics, including Otolaryngology, Rehabilitation Medicine, Radiology and Sleep Disorders.
Our clinic has special clinics dedicated to treating children with cystic fibrosis, sleep disorders and asthma. We also provide general evaluations for children who have symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, recurrent pneumonia, wheezing, chest pain and problems with doing exercise. In all of our work, we focus on education so that you and your child can learn how to best manage your child's condition today while planning for the future.
Awards and Recognition
In 2016, U.S. News & World Report ranked Seattle Children's as the No. 1 pulmonary and sleep medicine program west of the Rocky Mountains – and one of the best in the country.
We treat many conditions that affect your child's breathing, including:
Asthma is a long-term lung disease. It causes the tubes that carry air to the lungs (airways) to swell and produce thick mucus. This makes it hard to breathe and causes coughing and wheezing. People of all ages can develop asthma, including babies and teens. Read more. (PDF)
Cystic fibrosis is a condition that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and other parts of the body. The mucus can clog the tubes that carry air to your child's lungs (airways), making it difficult to breathe. CF contributes to other health problems, including increasing your child's risk of infections. CF is passed from parent to child in genes (inherited). Learn more about our Cystic Fibrosis Program and cystic fibrosis research.
Babies who are born early (premature) are at greater risk than full-term babies for developing some types of long-lasting lung diseases. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common lung problem for premature babies. With BPD, lung tissues develop abnormally, which causes stiffness and scarring in the lungs.
Respiratory failure occurs when the lungs do not properly exchange gases, leading to too much carbon dioxide and too little oxygen in the blood. To keep the gases in balance, some children need help from machines, such as mechanical ventilators or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines.
Problems with eating, swallowing, and processing food and drink (digestion) can affect the lungs and respiratory system. Having a hard time swallowing (dysphagia), inhaling bits of food or other matter into the airways (aspiration) and having stomach contents move backward into the esophagus (gastroesophageal reflux) all can cause coughing, trigger asthma and make other lung conditions worse.
Neuromuscular disorders, which affect how your child's nerves and muscles work, can cause breathing problems. Conditions such as hypotonia, which causes floppy muscles; spinal muscular atrophy, which affects the nerves that control some muscles; and muscular dystrophy, which causes the muscles to break down over time, can all affect muscles used in breathing. Another neuromuscular disorder, congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), interferes with automatic control of breathing, especially during sleep.
Breathing problems during sleep can cause a number of problems for children, including hyperactivity and daytime drowsiness. Sleep apnea, for example, refers to a group of sleep disorders during which breathing stops for brief periods while your child sleeps. Sleep disorders can make it hard for your child to get the sleep needed for good health. Children's Sleep Disorders Program operates under our Pulmonary Medicine division.
Scoliosis is a sideways curve in the spine. The way a child's chest wall or spine is formed can affect breathing and sleep. In these cases, doctors can help decide if medical care or surgery may be helpful.
When children have infections such as bronchitis, bronchiolitis or pneumonia over and over again or for long periods of time, there may be other medical reasons that make them more likely to get sick. Pulmonary doctors evaluate children with infections of the respiratory tract to stop problems from continuing.
The Aerodigestive Program cares for babies, children and teens with complex problems that affect breathing and swallowing. Our team includes doctors from Otolaryngology, Pulmonary Medicine, Speech Pathology, Nutrition, Pediatric Surgery, Gastroenterology and others to give your child complete care.
Seattle Children's offers a comprehensive program for children with cystic fibrosis (CF). We use the latest therapies and medicines to help your child stay well and slow the progression of the disease. Learn more.
Flexible bronchoscopy lets doctors look inside the tubes that carry air from your child's windpipe to the lungs (the bronchi and bronchioles). The test is usually done to find the cause of a lung problem. During the test, doctors may take a small sample of mucus or tissue from the lungs to examine later under a microscope.
Our team has extensive experience caring for the youngest patients. We provide pulmonary function tests for infants to help identify and evaluate lung conditions and measure how well your baby breathes.
If your child has a neuromuscular disease, they may see a rehabilitation doctor, neurologist, cardiologist, pulmonologist, endocrinologist, nurse, occupational or physical therapist, dietitian and social worker. This is based on your child's needs. The team recommends ways to improve your child's overall medical status and function. Treatments may include therapy, special equipment, orthotics, surgery and medications. The Neuromuscular Clinic is supported in part by the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Doctors use polysomnography (PSG or sleep study) to identify sleep problems. During sleep, the body acts differently than while awake. A sleep study monitors your child's body functions during sleep, including sleep stages, eye movements, brain waves, muscle activity, breathing, body positions and heartbeat.
Pulmonary function tests measure how well your child breathes. Doctors use them to help diagnose asthma and other lung diseases, and to evaluate lung diseases that have already been diagnosed. There are many kinds of PFTs. Spirometry measures how much and how quickly your child can breathe out following a deep inhalation. Lung plethysmography measures how much air your child can hold in the lungs. Diffusion capacity testing measures how well oxygen passes from your child's lungs to the blood.
We provide long-term follow-up care for children who have had major chest surgery that might affect their lungs, including children with congenital lung malformations or congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Along with giving each child care that's tailored to them, our goal is to establish standards and guidelines to improve care for all children who need surgery pulmonary follow-up.

When displayed, his works give us the impression that we live in a world populated by giants. But when he's photographed working in his studio, the scenes are almost more magical, casting Mueck as a servant for giants or perhaps a maker of uncanny androids.AdvertisementPhotographer Gautier Deblonde, who took the photo up top, has a remarkable series of photos of Mueck's studio. Mueck creates humanoid sculptures large and small, and thanks to their carefully placed wrinkles and folds, they look ready to draw breath. The effect of seeing Mueck or other people next to his sculptures can be startling, as can seeing them covered in plastic and ready to head into storage.Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris will be exhibiting some of Mueck's sculptures from April 16-September 29, 2013, which will be the first exhibition of Mueck's work since 2005. If you can't make it to Paris, however, a photo tour of his studio and his Facebook page are definitely worth the trips.Photo via Mueck's Facebook.Photo by Gautier Deblonde.Photo by Anthony d'Offay.AdvertisementRon Mueck [Gautier Deblonde via My Modern Met]

When servants act like masters
Just when you think that corruption in the upper echelons of government couldn't get any more blatant, along comes Eliot Spitzer with an announcement that he is stepping down from one of the most prestigious jobs in the country because he got caught with his pants down - literally.
Spitzer resigned Monday from his post as governor of New York after admitting he'd been a client of a high-priced prostitution ring, ending what many considered one of the most promising political careers in recent memory.
Spitzer joins a long list of politicians disgraced because they couldn't manage their bedroom affairs. What makes this case so remarkable is that just a short time ago Spitzer, as New York attorney general, was considered one of the country's most unflappable law enforcement officers. He is best known as a tough prosecutor of corporate corruption, giving rise to nicknames like 'The Sheriff of Wall Street' and 'Eliot Ness' (a comparison to the leader of the legendary Untouchables and the investigator who brought down gangster Al Capone in the 1920s). Perhaps more than any other person in recent memory, Spitzer was an icon of integrity, honesty and moral principles - someone who stood up for law and justice against all odds. Now he is just another philandering hypocrite who thought he was above the law.
The rise and fall of Eliot Spitzer is stunning because it raises doubts about the ability of any person in power to resist the forces of evil. If even the great Eliot Spitzer - the last bastion of honor and duty - is corrupt, who's left to do the right thing? This episode seems to affirm once again what the moralist Lord Acton observed more than a century ago, 'Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.'
And therein lies the danger - a citizenry so disgusted with the antics of people like former president Bill Clinton, former senator Bob Packwood, former governor Neil Goldschmidt, Sen. Larry Craig and Elliot Spitzer they become cynical and jaded, throw up their hands and say, 'Ah, what the heck, they're all sleazy politicians' and no longer hold their elected officials to the highest standards of personal and professional conduct. At that point America begins to act and look like a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.
Some will argue that it is wrong to make judgments about human sexuality between consenting adults, and that if Eliot Spitzer wants to spend time with a prostitute, that's his prerogative. That's the kind of rationalizing supporters of President Bill Clinton made in reference to the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Clinton had sex with an intern in the Oval Office - imagine what the Human Resources department at Nike, Intel or Microsoft would say to an employee who tried a stunt like that in their office. Words like 'You're fired!' come to mind. The fact is prostitution is illegal in New York and he had no choice but to resign. He should also be treated like the common criminal he is and go to jail for solicitation. His prostitute should go to jail as well, and be banned from making a profit from telling her story since that is what she is all about - money.
The morality question aside, such conduct demonstrates dangerous levels of arrogance and contempt toward the American people, their laws and institutions. Somewhere along the line they became so self-important and self-obsessed that they began acting like masters instead of servants.
As another election looms, all of this serves as a reminder that integrity matters … more than smarts, more than riches, more than experience, more than speaking ability or even good looks.
Without integrity you have nothing. Ask Eliot Spitzer.

Comments [2]
It is good to hear the pianism of Eteri Andjaparidze again, selections from her Christmas CD were played last year as well. She is a most deserving artist.
She has a growing discography with Naxos, where her Prokofiev CD had received a nomination for Europe's Deutsche Schallplatten award.
One hopes that her air time might be limited by the pronunciation of her name seeming to be daunting. Ms. Andjaparidze pronounces her name,
Ahn - jah - pah - RID' - zay.
Mr. McKnight,
When QXR first went public, yours was the show that prompted me to pull out my credit card. On those times when I get to stay up this late, your show makes the night. Good music and voice too. Good night, good luck, and happy listening ahead.

The preparation of the UID card is in danger of falling into the 'middleman' trap as residents of villages close to Jaipur have complained they had to stump up money to get the document, which should come free.
The complaints have been reported from a UID camp held in a village 25 km from Jaipur. The villagers said some persons charged Rs 60-70 from them at the camp site on the pretext of filling in the form and completing other formalities.
A woman alleged she had to pay Rs 120.
While the staff at the camp denied the allegations, the villagers said they paid Rs 50 for work on the form and other processes to be gone through, and R10 for the lamination of the receipt for the UID.
They have, however, not been issued any paper for the money they paid.
"I applied for the UID of my daughters. A person sitting at the camp site, claiming to be from the government, charged Rs 120 for filling in the form," said Guddi Khan, 42, a resident of Nai Ki Thadi village. She said her mother-in-law too had to pay Rs 60.
When contacted, sub-divisional magistrate (Amer) Bhagirath Singh Hawa said he had received similar complaints. "We sent a team to inquire into the complaints. Initially nothing concrete came out but we will get the matter examined thoroughly," he said.
Babu Khan, a local Janata Dal worker, said: "When we complained to the authorities, the person who was filling up the forms and collecting money vanished. The staff at the camp expressed ignorance about the money being charged but they are all hand-in-glove."

About Wendell Meredith Stanley, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1946
Wendell M. Stanley, The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1946 (jointly) for the preparation of enzymes and virus proteins in a pure form.
From Nobel Lectures, Chemistry 1942-1962, Elsevier Publishing Company, Amsterdam, 1964:
Wendell Meredith Stanley was born in Ridgeville, Indiana, on August 16th, 1904. He began his advanced education at Earlham College and graduated Bachelor of Science in 1926 when he entered the University of Illinois, gaining a Master of Science degree in 1927 and a Ph.D. in chemistry in 1929. He continued at Illinois as a research associate and later as an instructor before leaving, in the latter half of 1930, to do research at Munich as a National Research Council Fellow. In Munich he worked with Heinrich Wieland until late 1931 when he returned to the United States to take up a post as Assistant at the Rockefeller Institute. He remained with the Institute until 1948, becoming an Associate Member in 1937, and a Member in 1940. In 1948, he was appointed Professor of Biochemistry and Director of the Virus Laboratory, University of California; during 1948-1953 he was Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry, and in 1958 he became Professor of Virology and Chairman of the Department.
Stanley has been responsible for much important work on lepracidal compounds, diphenyl stereochemistry and the chemistry of the sterols. His researches on the virus which causes the mosaic disease in tobacco plants led to the isolation of a nucleoprotein which displayed tobacco mosaic virus activity. The virus appeared to act like an inanimate chemical but it presented evidence of being a living and growing organism. His more recent work on the preparation and investigation of influenza and similar viruses has led to his development of the centrifuge-type influenza vaccine. He is a recognized world authority on viruses and, as such, he has written over 150 papers on the topic and contributed chapters to several books.
Professor Stanley was awarded the American Association for the Advancement of Science Prize in 1937, and his many other honours and awards include the Rosenburger Medal (University of Chicago), Alder Prize (Harvard), and Scott Award (City of Philadelphia), 1938; Gold Medal of the American Institute of New York, 1941; Copernican Citation, 1943; Nichols Medal (American Chemical Society), 1946; Gibbs Medal (American Chemical Society), 1947; Franklin Medal and Presidential Certificate of Merit, 1948; the Modern Medicine Award, 1958; and the American Cancer Society's Medal for Distinguished Service in Cancer Control, 1963. He has been awarded honorary Doctor of Science degrees by many universities and colleges, including Earlham, Harvard, Yale (1938), Princeton (1947) and Illinois (1959); honorary Doctor of Law degrees of the Universities of California (1946) and Indiana (1951), the Jewish Theological Seminary of America (1953) and Mills College (1960); and Doctor, honoris causa, University of Paris (1947).
He has served on the Councils of many academic, medical and other learned societies, and as consultant and advisor to the United States government and the World Health Organization. He continues as Director-at-large, American Cancer Society and as a Member of the Board of Scientific Counsellors of the National Cancer Institute. He is a member of many scientific societies.
Wendell M. Stanley married Marian Staples on June 15th, 1929. They have one son, Wendell M. Junior, and three daughters, Marjorie Jean, Dorothy Claire, and Janet Elizabeth.

Residents, both locals and expats, mull it over in daily conversations: whose apartment got robbed last night?
Clearly, the attorney has already begun to mull his options.
A group of friends gathers to mull over what to do with a day off.
The ideal dress is of mull with much or little valenciennes lace (real) and finest hand embroidery.
I was awakened by a cry from mull, who was also by this time at the Duke's side.
Capt. mull was slow to yield his confidence, but when he did bestow it, he bestowed it sailor-fashion, or with all his heart.
There was no house in mull to which he could not introduce us.
mull Abdul-malik dwna1512 having begged to take the news of our coming into Kbul, was sent ahead.
mull is said to contain six thousand, and Sky fifteen thousand.
Typically little herbaceous growth is present beneath the chaparral, the ground being covered with varying amounts of mull.
"ponder," 1873, perhaps from a figurative use of Middle English mullyn "grind to powder, pulverize," from molle "dust, ashes, rubbish" (c.1300), probably from Middle Dutch mul "grit, loose earth," related to mill (n.1). But Webster's (1879) defined it as "to work steadily without accomplishing much," which may connect it to earlier identical word in athletics sense of "to botch, muff" (1862). Related: Mulled; mulling.
"sweeten, spice and heat a drink," c.1600, of unknown origin, perhaps from Dutch mol, a kind of white, sweet beer, or from Flemish molle a kind of beer, and related to words for "to soften." Related: Mulled; mulling.
"promontory" (in Scottish place names), late 14c., perhaps from Old Norse muli "a jutting crag, projecting ridge (between two valleys)," which probably is identical with muli "snout, muzzle." The Norse word is related to Old Frisian mula, Middle Dutch mule, muul, Old High German mula, German Maul "muzzle, mouth." Alternative etymology traces it to Gaelic maol "brow of a hill or rock," also "bald," from Old Celtic *mailo-s (cf. Irish maol, Old Irish máel, máil, Welsh moel).

Interest point detection for reconstruction in high granularity tracking detectors

This paper presents an investigation of the use of interest point detection algorithms from image processing applied to reconstruction of interactions in high granularity tracking detectors. Their purpose is to extract keypoints from the data as input to higher level reconstruction algorithms, replacing the role of human operators in event selection and reconstruction guidance. Simulations of nu(mu) + Ar-40 -> mu(-) + p events with a nu(mu) energy of 0.7GeV in a small liquid argon time projection chamber are used as a concrete example of a modern high granularity tracking detector. Data from the simulations are used to characterize the localization of interest points to physical features and the efficiency of finding interest points associated with the primary vertex and track ends is measured at the chosen beam energy. A high degree of localization is found, with 93% of detected interest points found within 5mm of a physical feature at the simulated energy of 0.7GeV. Working in two 2D projections, the primary vertex and both track ends are found in both projections in 85% of events at 0.7GeV. It is also shown that delta electrons can be detected.

Artisan Crafted Leopardwood Carved Owl Salt Box, Wall Box, w/Drawer
Whoooo would not love to have this wonderful salt box sitting on their desk? From the woodworking shop at Sweetpea Cottage, we are offering this modern interpretation of an antique salt box, or hanging wall box. Constructed like a piece of fine furniture, it is ready for you to use. Hang it on the wall, or place it on a desk. Use it to store all of your car keys, rolls of loose stamps, or as a dresser box for tie-tacks and cuff-links. The uses are limitless for this handy little box.
Based on a design found in early American salt boxes, this box has the classic folk art fan-tail handle for hanging on the wall and a hand carved owl head sits on the lid. As an added bonus there is a small drawer with a brass pull. Both spaces are excellent for storing odds and ends. The maximum height is 7 3/4 inches tall with the actual box being 5 inches tall. It is 6 ½ inches wide and 5 5/8 inches deep. It is made entirely out of solid leopardwood (also known as Brazilian lacewood) a rare and exotic wood that is known for its stunning grain pattern which seems to shimmer and ripple. Leopardwood is also known for the difficulty associated with trying to work with it because of its hardness and brittle nature. Construction is all by hand with the lid hinged on cherry dowels. The only piece of metal on this box is the solid brass knob on the drawer. Even the carved owl on the lid was hand carved at Sweetpea Cottage. The grain pattern in the leopardwood seems to resemble feathers on the owl. The box has been carefully finished with an oil/ varnish finish and then buffed to a high sheen with a fine carnuba wax. The spectacular nature of the wood makes this item a box to behold. This salt box has many, many uses and is destined to become a family heirloom.

Here's your Friday WTF moment--Bedazzled has unearthed and posted a 40 minute audio tape that was recorded during the Beach Boys' sessions for "Help Me Rhonda" that devolves into a band vs. manager and father Murry Wilson blow out. Beach boys historians will know that Murry Wilson's domineering is blamed for Brian Wilson losing his mind in the 70s, and for selling off the band's publishing rights for booze money (a low $75,000).
The four part audio can be heard here, here, here, and here, with the second part featuring some Brian vs. Murry fighting regarding Brian's lost hearing and Murry's yelling. By the end of the 40 minutes, the band eject Murry as manager, hand have a single finished.
It's pretty entertaining stuff--it's like a hidden piece of rock history that proves a lot of what people have been saying regarding Murry Wilson for years. [via Boing Boing]

The first thing I did after reading the new study that caffeine can increase our blood glucose level was to switch to drinking green tea. The second thing I did was to switch again -- this time to decaffeinated green tea.
I overreacted. Several years ago I had switched from coffee to Darjeeling tea, which has about half the caffeine per cup. While green tea has even less, I don't like it much and only drink it rarely. I disliked the decaffeinated green tea so much that I threw out the package after taking the first sip.
Now, I'm almost entirely back to Darjeeling tea. People call it a black tea, although it is light-colored and is technically more oolong than black and is therefore lower in caffeine than true black teas.
While I control my blood glucose level, I'm not a purist. I have to enjoy everything that I eat or drink. While my diet includes no starch, sugar (no sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup), salt, or alcohol, except occassionally when I eat out, I don't miss any part of this standard American, or SAD, diet. My recent A1C result was 5.3 percent.
Caffeine may well raise my blood glucose level. But after carefully reading the new study, I doubt it.
The new study is a review in the April 7 issue of the Journal of Caffeine Research by James D. Lane, associate research professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University Medical Center. Dr. Lane sent me the full-text of the study, which is now free online.
Dr. Lane reviewed 17 studies that showed that caffeine increased insulin resistance or impaired glucose tolerance of people who don't have diabetes. Using accepted study design -- double-blind and placebo-controlled -- and moderate doses of caffeine equivalent to two or three cups of brewed coffee, these studies consistently showed a transient increase in insulin resistance.
Yet many other studies of people who don't have diabetes show apparently contradictory results. Consistently, these studies have found that when people without diabetes drink a lot of coffee they are much less likely to get diabetes.So, who knows whether coffee is good or bad for them. But for us who have diabetes, other studies found that caffeine exaggerates the rise in glucose when people with diabetes ate carbohydrates. Dr. Lane thinks that the effect is clinically significant. He compares the effect -- an increase of 18 to 26 percent in blood glucose -- to a similar, albeit somewhat less, decrease in blood glucose when we take a sulfonylurea, Starlix, or Precose."Caffeine in coffee, tea, or soft drinks," Dr. Lane says, "causes a transient insulin resistance that can produce exaggerated glucose and insulin responses when carbohydrate is consumed." This seems to me to be the key.
It's really the same old story. "Diabetes," as Dr. Lane points out, results "from defects in carbohydrate metabolism." Carbs, more than caffeine, is the story.
Since I follow a very low-carb paleo diet, eliminating caffeine entirely might well increase my insulin sensitivity. A bit. I will try to drink fewer cups of tea, but no way will I switch to decaffeinated tea.
But coffee drinkers, particularly those who still consume starch and sugar, may well want to test for themselves. My friend Gretchen Becker, who also writes here at HealthCentral, has done just that.
Gretchen's testing shows that for her "caffeine does seem to have an effect." But while her blood glucose level rose by 15 points, that was because of the carbs she ate. The caffeine just delayed the peaks and didn't seem to increase them.
She recommends this procedure:
Get up and have caffeine or no caffeine. Wait an hour. Eat breakfast. Measure every hour until lunch. Then measure for a few hours after lunch, as the effect is supposed to persist.
Now, what effect does caffeine have on your blood glucose levels?

Got Inequality? Need Unions
Lots about inequality in the news in recent days, especially with the release of Tim Noah's book on the topic, "The Great Divergence."
Yet one key reason often left out in analyses of the nation's rising inequality is the decline of union density. Correcting that omission, the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) hammers home the point that up into the 1970s, labor unions both sustained prosperity, and ensured it was shared. And critically,
union bargaining power has been shown to moderate the compensation of executives at unionized firms.
Points out that Noah concludes: "If liberals really want to reverse income inequality, they should think seriously about rejoining labor's side," EPI President Larry Mishel asserts:
I would add that such a revival is necessary to rebuild the middle class and to preserve our democracy.
