Opinions, Context & Ideas from the TPM Editors TPM Editor's Blog
Is Reid On The Level on Guns?
When the Senate changed its rules at the beginning of this Congress, Dems and Republicans avoided any meaningful filibuster reforms. But they did create a process that allows any senator (but by custom, the majority leader) to bring a bill to the floor for debate with 50 votes. The catch is that circumventing the first filibuster guarantees each party two votes on amendments to the underlying bill.
That's the technical explanation. Roll Call's Niels Lesniewski has been banging this drum for days. In practical terms it means Cruz et al are peddling empty threats and Harry Reid can blow them off.
Except it's not clear that he wants to.
It's not entirely clear to me why exactly Reid and other Democrats aren't brandishing this new power, but I can think of a couple reasons.
As a wedge issue, gun control isn't breaking Democrats' way like gay marriage is. It's still a very tough vote. Particularly without Republican buy in. And if Reid invokes a process that lets Dems begin the gun control debate with 50 votes, you can safely bet Republicans are going to make him account for every one of those votes. He has 55 members, and seven or eight of them will face very tough elections next year. So who gets a pass and who has to walk the plank? It's a genuinely tough calculation. And that's before we get to the part where Republicans offer amendments to weaken or poison the bill. But his only other option is blowing off President Obama and advancing an extremely weak gun bill, or no gun bill at all.
That's the Occam's Razor explanation. A more cynical theory is that Reid just doesn't want this background check bill on the floor at all and he's just pretending he lacks the power to bring it there. But that's not my sense of how Reid operates.
Anyhow, long story short, if it weren't for this new rule (which, I should mention, expires at the end of the 113th Congress) Reid could just decry GOP obstruction and lay Congress' failure to pass gun control legislation after Newtown at their feet. But the rule exists. And so one way or another, Democrats' commitment to doing something meaningful to curb gun violence will be put to the test.

The nightly rate was VERY reasonable. We were looking for an affordable place to stay on short notice. The lack of cleanliness of the bathroom and linens made us feel uncomfortable. The pool was also closed during our stay.
No comment.I If you are interested in containing costs, you need to fix the faucet in the sink as it runs continuously.
Being able to hear the people above us.
It was very conveinent to stay at this particular Motel 6. In fact the reason we stay at so many motel 6's is the conveinent locations near traveling lanes. Also since we just go to sleep and leave the cost makes it reasonable for us to travel and stay. The ice machine was broken and that caused one to have to go to the third floor to get ice. Since it had an elevator that made it reasonably easy to go there. One should always fix broken items as quickly as possible. To see non functioning equipment makes one wonder if a motel is being run properly so hope they got it fixed quickly, especially for the summer time.

Steps Needed To Ensure That Home Medical Devices Are Easy-To-Use And Caregivers Are Well-Trained
A new report from the National Research Council recommends steps the Food and Drug Administration and other agencies and professional associations can take to ensure that the medical devices and health information technology used in home health care are easy and safe for laypeople to use and that caregivers, whether formal or informal, are well-trained.
For many reasons -- including the rising cost of health care, the aging of the U.S. population, and patients' desire to remain in their homes -- health care is increasingly moving from formal medical facilities into homes. A wide range of procedures, therapies, and monitoring tasks are now carried out far from any hospital or clinic, often with no health care professional on-site. So far, however, little attention has been paid to ensuring that this transition of care into the home happens safely and effectively.
The report recommends that FDA promote the development of new standards for labels on medical devices intended for use in the home, as well as for the accompanying instructional materials, to ensure that they are understandable to nonprofessionals. Standards and guidance for labeling these devices are currently lacking.FDA also should make it easier for people to report problems with medical devices they use in the home; its current systems for reporting adverse events are not easy for laypeople to use. In addition to making these systems user-friendly, the agency should collect more data that could help identify the root causes of adverse events involving devices and should develop and promote a more convenient way for lay users and professionals to report problems.
In addition, FDA and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology should work together to regulate, certify, and monitor applications that integrate medical devices and health information technologies -- for example, devices that monitor patients' blood pressure and provide results to patients and their doctors. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology should also work with other agencies to establish guidelines and standards for making consumer health information technologies usable and accessible.
The way home caregivers are trained needs to be improved, the report adds. Professional practice and advocacy groups should develop certification, credentialing, and training standards that will prepare formal caregivers to practice in the home. They should develop informational and training materials for informal caregivers as well.
The report recommends that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and other federal agencies collaborate to facilitate adequate access to health- and safety-related home modifications, especially for those who cannot afford them, enabling people whose homes contain safety hazards or obstacles that limit self-care to obtain the modifications they need.
The study was sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council make up the National Academies. They are private, nonprofit institutions that provide science, technology, and health policy advice under a congressional charter. The Research Council is the principal operating agency of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering. For more information, visit http://national-academies.org.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Cory Booker showed Republican Gov. Chris Christie some appreciation at a charter school ribbon-cutting on Wednesday as he stood to benefit from Christie's popularity during a difficult stretch in the campaign.
Christie is officially backing Republican Steve Lonegan in the Senate race but remains close to Booker, Newark's mayor, and the two share common ground on issues including charter schools.
Lonegan, a former Bogota mayor, has relentlessly attacked Booker over his closeness to celebrities and his many out-of-state trips and for what he calls his failure to focus enough attention on the problems in Newark, New Jersey's largest city. He rolled out a red carpet outside a restaurant on Monday to mock Booker's simultaneous appearance at a California fundraiser with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
In early August, Lonegan campaigned at the site of a killing to call attention to crime in Newark, where nine homicides in nine days later in the month led Booker to announce new measures to curb gun violence. More recently, Lonegan held a press conference outside a derelict property that a newspaper disclosed had been owned by Booker.
The barrage of Booker criticism may be starting to stick. Pollsters at Quinnipiac University say Booker's lead appears to have tightened with three weeks to go before the Oct. 16 special election to replace the late Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg.
Their recent poll of likely voters showed Booker with a lead of 12 percentage points compared with an early August poll of registered voters that showed a lead of 25 percentage points. Elections often appear tighter in polls among likely voters than they do among registered voters.
Booker hasn't answered Lonegan's attacks directly, though he seemed well aware of them as he welcomed Christie.
"To our governor, I want to give some guv love right now because we happen to be in this silly season of politics," Booker said.
Booker hadn't been out in public as mayor in more than a week and has held six public campaign events since Labor Day, when campaigns typically kick into high gear in New Jersey. On Wednesday, he didn't take questions.
Last week, however, he released his first televised ad of the general election campaign to air in the Philadelphia market. The ad doesn't mention Lonegan by name but accuses his opponent of wanting to outlaw abortion, rejecting any compromise and supporting the privatization of Social Security.
Christie appears to have an insurmountable lead in his re-election bid against a Democratic challenger seen as weak. So he's spending more time in cities such as Newark, where traditionally Democratic voters can help him run up a big margin of victory to take to a potential run for president in 2016.
Booker could get a boost along the way from a governor whose job approval rating is the envy of most politicians.
The Christie-Booker alliance goes back four years. As Booker tells it, he and Christie drove around the streets of Newark late one night before Christie took office finding areas on which they could agree, settling on education and development.
"The governor and I can write a dissertation on our disagreements," Booker said. "In the areas we agreed, we said we were going to do amazing things together. Today shows that when people can reach over those lines that divide and make ties that bind, what can be accomplished together."
Lonegan dismissed Wednesday's Christie-Booker appearance as something a governor does.
"Governor Chris Christie made a very clear point today," he said, "which is that Cory Booker cannot govern Newark without the governor's help."

Kickstarter Update for Shadow of the Eternals has word from Precursor
Games that they are closing the crowdfunding campaigns on Kickstarter and their
website for this proposed "spiritual successor" to Eternal Darkness from Denis
Dyack and other veterans of Silicon Knights. The update explains their
fundraising efforts "have seen more support from our community than we had ever
hoped for," even though their Kickstarter has raised under 10% of its goal. They
say this unprecedented level of lukewarm support has presented them with "a host
of a new exciting opportunities that will make the game better than we
envisioned," and they plan on relaunching their Kickstarter "in just a few short
weeks with a reveal of these exciting new developments." Thanks Joao.

About 10 years ago, the inventor and designer Wietlisbach was travelling around New Zealand. He kept his salt in a film canister. Click! The lid popped off the canister and shortly after the salt had run all over his luggage.This experience was the cause for developing a safe and hygienic container during the following years.The first prototype was made of aluminium; extremely strong, but the weight was a problem . A solution using advanced materials was then pursued. Finding the right advanced plastic (no acrylic) was found to be a big problem. But working together with a Swiss expert from an industrially driven Institution for Technology and Research, an optimal solution finally was found.Thanks to a lot of Swiss Alpine members, the following test phase was conducted during the next two years in the entire Swiss Alpine panorama. Since Swiss Spice had also been on the Matterhorn countless times, the first packaging was created with a picture of this grand and famous Swiss mountain. 45g (empty)

Elephant Skin on the Moon
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla
Topics: Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Moon
There's a name for that funny hummocky texture to the lunar landscape: "elephant skin." I know that now, thanks to an image featured on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera website on May 13. Here's a closeup of what elephant skin texture in the lunar soil looks like:
It's interesting -- what causes it? The LROC image caption says it "is probably the result of slow movement involving thermal cycles of the lunar day-night and seismic shaking from meteorite impacts," but evidently lunar scientists aren't sure because "The high resolution LROC images and accurate topographic information will help sort out the causes of this long-known surface characteristic of parts of the lunar surface." It's more noticeable in images when the Sun is lighting the landscape from an oblique angle, which picks out subtle topographic features through the play of light and shadow.
The closeup above was taken directly from the LROC website, but those inline images are always just a teeny tiny fraction of what there is to be seen in the full image. Here is a larger segment of the image, itself still just a few percent of the full LROC frame. There's so much data and so little time to explore it all!

Topic - Money Market Funds: Stash Your Cash | Education Center |
Money market funds are mutual funds. However, they don't invest in stocks -- they invest in U.S. Treasury bills (notes and bonds with less than 13 months until maturity), top-rated commercial paper, bank notes, and other high-quality, short-term debt instruments. (They shouldn't to be confused with money market accounts, or money market deposit accounts, which are FDIC-insured but pay much lower rates on average).
Money market funds attempt to maintain a stable $1.00 per share NAV (net asset value), so their risk exposure is non-existent when compared with stock and bond funds. Money market funds are not insured or guaranteed by the government (or anyone else), but the Securities and Exchange Commission heavily regulates them; they have a number of restrictions on the quality, maturity and diversity of the securities they may invest in.
Though it certainly is a possibility, no retail investor has ever lost money in a money market fund. There has been just one case of a money market fund "breaking-the-buck," or dropping below its $1.00 share price. In 1994 an institutional money fund, Community Bankers U.S. Government Money Market Fund, liquidated at 94 cents a share due to extensive derivatives-related holdings.
While nothing is risk-free, money market funds have had a far better track record than banks in their 25 year history. The savings and loan bailout alone cost taxpayers billions, while the losses from money fund "bailouts" (where the adviser purchased troubled securities in order to prevent a fund from "breaking-the-buck," or deviating from the $1.00 per share NAV) to advisers, not to shareholders, can be counted in the millions. Remember, even with money market funds, return equals risk (a corollary of "there's no free lunch").
Money market funds are about to become even safer, though. Over the past two years, private insurance for money market funds has begun to take hold. Currently, only a handful of companies have this protection, which only covers "isolated defaults" (and not industry-wide losses). However, this type of insurance is expected to become more common.

At a Glance: I don't even think it takes more than a glance to see that this game is going to be terrible. Think of all the great animal movies. Try real hard. Push your fingers to the sides of your head and go "la la la summoning great thoughts." Pause. Now, did "Air Bud" or one of those movies where the monkey plays a sport come into your head? This is the exact reason why I've chosen "Beethoven's 2nd" as the subject of today's RomPit.
Platform: SNES (Download Emulator here - 192k)
Download: Download ROM here - 64k
Got a suggestion? Email me
Game Plot: I absolutely refuse to watch the movie that this game is affiliated with. I don't care how much I'm paid, how many death threats I get, or the dazzling 11% review the movie got on rotten tomatoes. I'm not watching it. For my own amusement, I'm including my own story and giving this game a -10:
Beethoven fell out of Bill and Ted's time machine, the spatial distortions caused by such a problem brought him into the 20th century as a Saint Bernard. Beethoven, being Beethoven, did not take long to fall in love with another dog. Little did he know it yet another composer that had undergone the same strange circumstances he had. Mozart and Beethoven soon had four puppies, all of which were stolen and placed randomly throughout the world. Beethoven vowed he would not rest until he rescued their. The end.
The game is divided into two parts: acquiring the puppies and then returning them to their ugly mother. The first part requires very tediously timed jumps and long range barks while you hide from your enemies. The second part requires tediously timed jumps, putting the puppy down, and long range barks while you hide from your enemies. The variety is staggering.
I also have to note that the puppy you have to cart around in the second half of the levels is invincible. Couldn't I at least be given the option of being able to throw this puppy around like a boomerang or use it as a shield?
Enemies: Apples and platforms. Other enemies exist but nothing in this game murders your canine warrior so badly as apples. Have you ever heard some faint scratching on your backyard door? Then you open the door to see your beloved Scruffy, bruised, leg broken and whimpering softly - apple wounds spotting its' back like machine-gun fire? Or perhaps you've noticed nature's more silent killer, the platform. Never has humankind seen such violent killers. Floating innocently over deadly pits. How many dogs have a lost to these murderers? I cannot count. No seriously, I was never taught how to count.
The second greatest enemy in this game is no doubt the sound. Imagine, if you will, be serenaded by the works of Beethoven in full SNES sound as you traverse this wonderous gameland. Then add the almost constant barking of a 16-bit poodle on top. If this is the type of way we are expected to treat our greatest composers then don't be surprised to soon see a Chopin high-intensity plunger and a full set of Wagner sex toys. Both will, no doubt, be a big hit at parties.
Weapons: Your bark. No bite. You also have the ability to shake water off of yourself at such great velocity that it causes everything around you to die. Never expect to find water or be able to use this move. Since the second half of the game has you holding onto a god-puppy, you are paralyzed and cannot use your weapons until you put it down. The most affective strategy is to put your puppy down immediately and let it run around next to a fire while you try to deal with lions or dart-shooting maniacs. This is natural dog behavior so don't be alarmed if you spot your basset hound shoving it's young into your fireplace. It's just nature. Sit back and admire the beauty.
Levels: There are basically four levels like there are four elements: earth, wind, water, and suburbia. You must travel through them in order to achieve what you desire. Should you fail to overpower the earth, falter in the face of wind, drown in the body of water, or crack under the mind-bending boredom of suburbia, you will feel the shame of a thousand failures. Once you have defeated it once, you must do so again with puppy in mouth. I'm sure there is a strip club by this name somewhere but I didn't feel like pulling out the phonebook.
The best thing going for this game is how short it is when cheating like a bastard with save states. I, however, believe even the smallest things can have a great impression on the human mind. Like a piece of shrapnel flying away from the wreckage of my car as I drive it straight into this game developer's wall.
Bosses: None that I could find, but this game was only four stages long so that's pretty bossin'.
Defining Moment: Murdering myself on a picket fence at the beginning of the game. Murdering myself by sliding off of platforms. Murdering myself by running straight into enemies. Murdering myself by not being able to put down my puppies fast enough to fight the enemies. Murdering myself.

- - Experience with glowlight tetra fry?
Experience with glowlight tetra fry? Apparently we have The Love Tank. I've never had baby fish when I've had tanks before but our two-month-old tank is full of love. The mollies were born April 6th and today we discovered eensy teensy little fry we're assuming belong to the glowlight tetras. We have four--I think three girls and one (studly) boy. They are tiny and hard to see but we managed to get one and put him in the baby net we had for the mollies (who are now huge!). There are more underneath the short grass we had gotten to help hide the mollie fry. Any experience with these guys? I'm an unfit mother, I admit. :oops: I kind of want to pull everything out of the tank (28-gallon) and hunt for the others but I don't want to disrupt any eggs. |
Re: Experience with glowlight tetra fry? Quote:
It's a bit too late, but you needed to start an infusoria culture to feed to the glowlight fry. They are too tiny to take anything over microscopic life for at least 10 days before they can take baby brine shrimp. I've taken the liberty of reproducing a section of my how to culture manual so you know how to culture infusoria. INFUSORIA Infusoria is a general term for freshwater microscopic life that lives off vegetative decay. It is the Number One food to learn to culture if you want to raise egg-layer fry. The best organism to culture is Paramecium, as most all egg-layer fry instantly recognize it as a food source. Equipment A clean container; tall like a drinking glass Sterile freshwater A Paramecium starter culture. Wheat grains and Brewer's Yeast tablets Aluminum foil or clear wrap. Air pump and stone. Eye-dropper. Optional: A microscope capable of X50 magnification, or a really good magnifying glass. Depending on the size of your culture, sprinkle enough wheat grains to cover half of the bottom of your culture vessel in one layer. Then tip them into a microwave-safe container, cover them with about an inch of water, and microwave them until the water boils. That serves to soften the grains a bit, and also kills any organisms already on the wheat. Pour the grains and water back into your culture vessel. Break a yeast tablet in two, and toss in half. Then fill the vessel with cool dechlorinated water up to about an inch or so from the top. You'll want VERY slow bubbles from your air stone, just enough to break the surface tension but not enough to roil the water at all. Its there to keep the culture fresh and clean smelling. Introduce your Paramecium culture, cover the top with the foil or clear wrap, and put it near a window where it'll get mostly indirect sunlight. The wrap or foil keeps the water from evaporating so quickly. Room temperature, it takes a week to 10 days to get a rich culture. Warmer, around 80 degrees, it can take as little as four days. The culture will get more and more milky. When its difficult to see the other side of the container looking through it, the culture is ready. They'll be a slight scum on top, which is normal. If you have access to a microscope, use an eye dropper, put a single drop on a glass slide, and dial in 50 times magnification. You should see the field full of the little slipper-shaped Paramecium zooming all over the place. You can use a magnifying glass, but you'll have real trouble seeing the Paramecium with it. You'll likely only be able to see a few of the largest of the critters, which will look like very tiny moving dust. Harvest them by dipping some out with an eye-dropper from below the scum layer, and squirt it near the fry. The number of 'squirts' per feeding depends on the number of fry. A trick I learned years ago is to put a bare light bulb on one side of the fry tank. It serves to bring the fry and the Paramecium together. You'll see the fry curl into a tiny 's' shape and strike at the Paramecium. Feeding them every hour and changing 50 percent of the tank water daily will result in 70 to 90 percent fry yields. You should be able to keep your culture going for at least a month. You can help by adding just enough Phytoplankton (Euglena is best) to tint the water green, as the Paramecium can eat the algae. When your culture starts to become clear, scrape off a little of the muck at the bottom of your culture along with a few wheat grains and start another one. They'll be enough Paramecium in the goop to get the new culture going. If you have any questions or are confused by any of the terms just ask. Dave |
I just boil lettuce then put it in a small container with an airstone. in a few days with strong light you will have some food for the fry. |

The estimated cost for UNLV's proposed domed, 60,000-seat stadium is $548.4 million — the biggest chunk of the university's $900 million stadium project, the Review-Journal has learned.
University officials have publicly refused to discuss project costs, but did share the price tag in a Nov. 20, 2102, cost estimate report with representatives of the hotel-casino industry and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority who were invited to a private meeting late last year.
The newspaper obtained the information after filing a public records request with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
The total Phase 1 project costs for what UNLV has dubbed the "Mega Events Center," excluding financing costs, hit $899,841,523, according to the document prepared by Eiman Consulting. That includes $52.7 million in contingency costs.
The document represents the first look at the project's cost estimate breakdown:
■ $158.9 million for parking improvements.
■ $40.4 million for design and consulting fees.
■ $40.4 million for "soft costs," including insurance, bonding, taxes, legal and marketing fees.
■ $33.6 million for on-site improvements and utility work.
■ $20.4 million for new fields for softball, baseball, tennis, soccer, track/field and practice football.
■ $11.5 million for off-site improvements.
■ $9.9 million for replacement of campus service buildings.
■ $5.7 million for field and building relocation/facility replacement design fees, permits and utilities.
■ $2.7 million for a pedestrian bridge to span Swenson Avenue to athletic facilities.
While the proposed stadium has garnered the spotlight and scrutiny, the project has profound implications for other university sports. To build the stadium, which would be located not too far from the Thomas & Mack Center, UNLV will have to relocate the playing fields of several sports and build new facilities.
Those costs include $5.7 million for a new baseball stadium (originally proposed at $2 million in 1994); $3.8 million for a new tennis complex (pegged at $1.2 million in 1993); $3.4 million for a softball stadium; $2.7 million for a track and field facility; and $2.2 million for a soccer complex.
In addition, campus buildings will need to be relocated, including half a dozen buildings that will cost more than $950,000 apiece, according to the cost-estimate document.
The proposal pegged parking improvement costs at nearly $159 million, which would include money for new garages. After the price for the actual stadium, parking costs represent the project's second-biggest dollar item.
Late last month, UNLV officials changed course on the stadium project, breaking off its partnership with private developer Majestic Realty in hopes of forging a closer bond with the Strip's major hotel-casino companies. Majestic, owned by billionaire developer Ed Roski, who built the Staples Center in Los Angeles, had committed 40 percent of the UNLV project cost — or $360 million.
It's unclear how UNLV will make up that contribution loss. University officials drew a cool response a few months ago when they privately floated the idea of the LVCVA and the resort industry contributing $125 million.
UNLV is also asking the Nevada Legislature to approve Assembly Bill 335, which would create a campus tax district and improvement authority to help generate income from taxes on the sales of food, drinks and other items at the stadium. But that tax would generate only $7 million to $8 million annually, said Craig Cavileer, who represented Majestic Realty.
The scope and costs of the $900 million project did not please some of the Strip's big hotel-casino companies.
For example, MGM Resorts International in February said the stadium project "has grown too expensive for our community to support" and said it would support a stadium for UNLV "that is appropriately configured and responsibly financed."
Don Snyder, UNLV's point man for the project, said he expects the plan to be changed in response to cost concerns: "I cannot imagine NOT seeing some changes in the project and its costs as we go through the process of more fully engaging stakeholders."
He stressed that UNLV's focus "is on the enabling legislation which will provide a rationale framework to proceed with gaining stakeholder input and support for a facility which meets the needs of both UNLV and the resort industry."
Assembly Bill 335 remains alive in Carson City.

Dom Smith chose an Avolites Diamond 4 console to control the light show for Brit rock group Embrace's recent arena tour. Artistic director Bryan Leitch designed the show, and he worked closely with Smith as lighting programmer and on-the-road lighting director. The equipment was supplied by leading UK rental company Siyan. Embrace's show kicked off with an element of high drama.

Get Your Write On This Summer in DC
July 25-31 is Hurston/Wright Writers Week! This is your opportunity to take classes in Building The Novel, Advanced Novel Writing, Poetry or Nonfiction.
I'm teaching the class on Building the Novel:
A workshop designed for writers who have completed 75-100 pages of a novel and who are familiar with the technical aspects of fiction writing. The course will be conducted as a workshop with in-depth critique and analysis of a selected portion of the manuscript, as well as discussion of the broader issues and challenges inherent in writing book-length fiction.
The faculty is really exciting– Marita Golden, Michael H. Cottman, and A. Van Jordan.

How To Crash a Ball: A Primer
Disclaimer: Tayari Jones is not suggesting that she has ever attended any event to which she has not purchased a ticket. She is a writer and this is merely a work of imagination.
A lot of people were wheeling and dealing to get tickets to various inaugural balls. Well, as we start planning for inauguration 2013, I would like to present this handy five point guide for getting into events to which you have not been explicitly invited. In other words this is what you do when don't exactly have your ticket situation sorted out.

Eventhough I had completely committed to going to bed earlier, my good friend, Sanderia Smith, convinced me to whip out my glad rags one more time and go to the Congressional Black Caucus Ball. I was wiped out from having gotten up at 5am to become of one two million frozen witnesses to history. But Sanderia is an old friend and I hadn't seen her in a long time.
The CBC ball was a pretty subdued affair. I don't know if everyone was just sort of tired like I was, or if it was because folks were sort of bummed that O-Man didn't put the CBC on his list of balls he planned to visit. The CBC had reserved a large and lovely space– the entire mezzanine of the Capitol Hilton, but half the tables were sadly empty at just 10pm.
I think this is a sign of the economy. I was told that several organizations canceled their balls because people just weren't buying tickets. When you think about it, balls are very expensive to attend. Let's break it down. The obvious expense is the tickets which may be about $400, but there are so many other costs. Dress, shoes, hair, nails, taxi to get there… It can easily run you nearly $1000. As much as people love Obama– they were willing to freeze for him!– it's just too expensive to fete and definitely to expensive to fete him at more than one ball.
Never the less, I did my part to make it merry! Sanderia and I danced, talked to strangers, and ate fondue. We ran into Dr. Johnetta Cole (swoon!) and told her how much we admire her. When I saw a woman wearing the same dress as me, in the sprit of unity, I did not demand that she go home and change.
See, it's a new day.

Knock! Knock!
I am just getting back from Washington, DC where I gave a reading and workshop at American University. The picture you see above is from the combined creative writing workshop, a unique feature of their MFA reading series. Here's how it works: the visiting writer reads three student-manuscripts and leads a roundtable critique in front of the complete whole entire fiction program and thier teachers.
From the pic above you can see we had a lot of fun, but I was a bit worried going in. Leading a workshop is a bit like making macaroni and cheese… everyone does it differently.
Guest-teaching a workshop is particularly crazy-making for several reasons. For one, as a guest of the university, I tend to try and be low drama and low maintenance. Unlike J-Lo, I do not submit a rider in advance. I show up and do whatever work they need me to do with as little fuss as possible. But leading a workshop, well, you can't help but force your personality on the group. (This is not the way my mama taught me to be a good guest!) Secondly, I didn't want to step on the regular professors' toes with some of my, admittedly, idiosyncratic ideas about writing. I was able to restrain myself and not quite cut loose the way I do at my home workshop. And the third thing that threw me off was the knocking.
Apparently there is a whole trend in the MFA world that when someone says something you agree with, you knock on the table. For a person not used to it, it is like having an exchange with a flock of enthusiastic woodpeckers.
But can you believe that it works? It did! We had a great time. There were three really interesting a meaty stories on the table and the class of 45 gave valueable input and loving critique. Amazing. I wasn't traumatized and neither were they. As a matter of fact, we all sort of left the room sort of jazzed.
I must give credit where it is due. E.J. Levy, Denise Orenstien, and Andrew Holleran are the usual professors and I could see the evidence of all thier hard work.
Before I wrap up this entry, I have to say how nice it was to be in DC again. A few of my students from GA made the trek to American for my reading and also some of my good friends.
There are a few photos here.

The Saddest Day of The Year
On Monday, the members of the 2007 Jenny McKean Moore Community Writers Workshop met for the last time and it just about broke my heart. As many of you know, my position here at George Washington requires me to teach one class to GW students and one class to regular folks in the DC area who want to take a writing class. I taught one group in the fall and one in the spring. They have been the highlight of my experience here.
This semester, we were a small group. We started out with twelve and life called and some of our members couldn't finesse time off from work, or they had family obligations, or maybe just changed thier minds. By the end, we were nine and we were serious about what we were doing.
You all know that diversity is important to me– and by diversity I don't just mean racial diversity. I mean real mixing of folks. We were nine people with nine very different jobs, different ages, men, women, gay, straight, some had kids, married, unmarried. We were so different that you would have thought we did it on purpose. But we were so alike and so compatible that you would have thought this, too, planned.
I'm going to miss them. I hope they all keep writing and working on thier projects. I hope they keep the listserv going. I like to think that I gave them good instruction, but anyone who has ever been in a workshop knows that a writing group is only as good as the members. The teacher is just one person. These folks were good to each other and to themselves. You can see it in thier work.
Here are pictures from the party— where I held my composure and didn't get all weepy and sentimenal. I saved that for this blog post.

To Sir, With Love
Far be it from me to jugde anyone for being a groupie. From time to time, I put the fan in fanatic and I think it is a healthy way to express yourself. So when I call my friend, Raquel, a "hard-core groupie", please don't take it the wrong way.
Rocky came to DC yesterday, all the way from Bloomington Indiana. She invited me to a show. I could get the tickets from ticketmaster. (Y'all know I love myself a concert, so I agreed, still fuzzy on the details.) I hopped on line. "What am I searching for?" I asked her, all while clicking keys.
"John Hope Franklin," she sighed.
"The historian?"
"Yes," said Rocky. "I just love him."
Well, different strokes and all of that. Some people love the Brand New Heavies, other, more sensible people, like Rocky, have a thing for 92-year-old historians who have changed the world.

We Like The Boys In The Band….
Usually, I make it a point not be be charmed by musicians. Let's just say that experience is the best teacher. But when I was thinking of ways to entertain Nokuthula Mazibuko, the World Literature Fellow at GWU. I immediately thought of my favorite D.C. spot: Busboys and Poets. When I looked at the website and saw that PS 24 was playing, I knew I had hit the jackpot.
The show was scheduled to start at 8pm, so I picked Nokuthula up at 7:15. You can see already, that I was tuning out the voice of experience. The show didn't kick off until 9pm.
We were glad we had come early because we got a chance to talk with the band members When I told the percussionist, Jali-D, that Nox had come all the way from South Africa, he invited us to meet the rest of the band. We met Psalm, the lead singer, who hails from NYC and also Waldo, a military kid who has lived all over the world.
I am a big fan of PS 24. I once heard them described as "folk hop"– which sort of captures their hip hop roots and their conversational tone. I sort of endorse this description although it has the weird vibe of a movie pitch. The real truth is that their music is hard to classify. Yes, I can see the hip hop influence, but I can also see something that is unique to this trio of musicians. I think the secret to their sound is in the drumming– which screams Dee-Cee without becoming go-go. And let us not forget the lyrics. Some are a little bit confessional–"She was like a carrot in front of a jackass…" Some are political–"George Bush is crazy!" And whimsically profound, like the anthem to childlessness.
Today was a long day. Nokuthula and I went shopping and also did hair, but I am so delighted that we stopped into Busboys and Poets to see PS 24. I asked Jali-D the origin of their name. He gave me a few explanations— there is a school in NY called PS24. The initials could stand for Powerful Secret. At the end of the day– or the night– I decided it didn't matter so much. They are brilliant musicians. I don't mind a little mystery when it comes to great music.
And yes, yes, yes… I did take pictures.

Writer's Blockparty
Last night was the final meeting of the 2006 Jenny McKean Moore Free Community Writers Workshop here at George Washington University.
Last summer, I solicited applications for the Washington, DC community. I was looking for writers who wanted to take a class. I was looking for folks who wanted to make community, who wanted to make better art. I received about 150 applications, but I whittled it down to 20. Twenty showed up for the first class and by the party we were still 16 strong.
These writers have earned my respect and the respect of everyone in the English Department here at GWU. They came to class after long days at work. Some took subways, others parked illegally. They had to arrange for childcare for ten weeks in a row. The found time, not only for their own writing, but to give thoughtful and helpful criticism to their classmates.
We are a diverse group: Despite the 50 year age span, despite the fact that we are different races, sexes, religion, and social classes we sat down and got to work. We have made each other better and richer.
In short, they knocked my socks off. If you see me walking barefoot, you'll know why.
Last night, we got together to break bread together, drink wine together, and play stupid party games together. It was a fine and fitting send-off. I think Jenny McKean Moore , the amazing woman to whom all this is dedicated, would be pleased.

Bring Back The Funk In Music!
It's 4:09am, and I am just back from the Brand New Heavies concert at the 930 Club in DC. I have Kamilah Aisha Moon as my blogging co-pilot. We're too overwhelmed to blog the old-fashioned way, so we are just going to have a little chit-chat about the miracle that is the Heavies.
Tayari: Isha, was that hot or what?
Isha: Yeah, they brought it hard.
Tayari: Word.
Isha: What was your favorite part of the show?
Tayari: I liked the part when they sang, danced, played instruments, etc.
Isha: Me, too. The show was tighter than Susan Taylor's cornrows.
Tayari: It's almost 4:30 in the morning, we need to go to bed. Where's the towel I swiped from the stage? I need to spread it on my pillow.
Isha: Did that towel belong to sexy Andrew, the one on the bass? Or was it Simon's? He's adorable. I know it couldn't be N'dea's. She's too gorgeous to sweat.
Tayari: Don't worry about that. All you need to know about this towel is that it's mine.
(thx, Lauren for the BNH graphic from the NYer)

The Most Important Play You'll Ever See
Last night I experienced something important. In The Continuum is being performed at the Woolly Mammoth theatre here in Washington, DC until September 25.. You must see this play. I know that I recommend many things on this site, but there is no recommendation more heart-felt than the one I am offering here. I went to see the play with Maxine Clair, and after it was finished, we looked at each other and said, What can we do to get more people to see this play?

From Joe.My.God:
Matthew Rettenmund reports at Boy Culture that the U.S. Army today accepted the re-enlistment of Lt. Dan Choi. It took Choi a few minutes of knocking to be admitted to the Times Square military recruitment center, which is on a traffic island between Broadway and Seventh Avenue. According to Rettenmund's report, Choi merely has to supply some medical paperwork tomorrow and he's in. In the clip below, Choi says he found today's event to be "absolutely exciting, absolutely vindicating." Congratulations, Lt. Choi!
Congratulations Dan Choi! This ought to be very interesting!
It has been reported that the Department of Justice has filed their appeal (of Judge Phillip's denial of their request to stay her DADT injunction) with the Ninth Circuit Court.
From Joe.My.God.:
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has granted the DOJ's emergency request for a temporary stay on Judge Virginia Phillips' order to stop enforcing DADT. Via Chris Geidner at Metro Weekly, here's the brief ruling.
This court has received appellant's emergency motion to stay the district court's October 12, 2010 order pending appeal. The order is stayed temporarily in order to provide this court with an opportunity to consider fully the issues presented. Appellee may file an opposition to the motion for a stay pending appeal by October 25, 2010. To expedite consideration of the motion, no reply shall be filed.
What this may mean (if anything) for Dan Choi, I have no idea.

Red Bull to support FIM Motocross World Championships & Motocross of Nations
Courtesy Youthstream
After the incredible success of the Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations at Budds Creek on September 23, 2007 Red Bull, the world's leading Energy Drink company, and Youthstream, the FIM Motocross World Championship and FIM Motocross of Nations commercial rights holder, have reached a further agreement for the next three years.
Red Bull, which is already supporting the KTM Factory Team, will be the main sponsor and the official energy drink of the FIM Motocross World Championship for 2008, 2009 and 2010.
The 2008 Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations will be once again supported by the Austrian Company, founded in 1987 by Dietrich Mateschitz, which will be the Title Sponsor of the event. The 2008 Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations taking place in Northern Ireland aims at improving the magnificent results of Budds Creek, America, where the event came back after a 20 year absence thanks to Red Bull's support.
Having been the series' official energy drink for the last two years, Red Bull has a strong liaison with the FIM Motocross World Championship and with Youthstream. The slogan "Red Bull vitalizes body and mind" is strictly connected to the extreme performances of the riders on the track; with each Grand Prix being held with a double-moto format, Red Bull helps the riders to recover quickly.
Youthstream's President, Mr. Giuseppe Luongo, stated: "I would like to thank Red Bull for believing in the potential of Motocross and for associating their brand with our sport. We believe that with Red Bull, the FIM Motocross World Championship will continue to grow, become more professional and attract more and more fans."

CREW Requests Ethics Investigation Into Michael Grimm Threatening Reporter
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a request for investigation Wednesday with the Office of Congressional Ethics, arguing Grimm went "well beyond the bounds of reasonableness" when he physically threatened NY1 reporter Michael Scotto after the State of the Union address.
The watchdog group's complaint to OCE alleged Grimm's conduct violated House Rule 23, which requires members of the House conduct themselves "at all times in a manner that reflects creditably on the House." CREW also argued Grimm abused his position in threatening a reporter who was exercising his First Amendment rights and did not provoke him.
"Rep. Grimm's behavior last night was completely unacceptable and reflects discreditably on the House of Representatives," CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan said in a statement. "Unfortunately, his total meltdown is in keeping with the congressman's refusal to come clean about the allegations surrounding his shady fundraising practices. Perhaps the pressure of the ongoing federal investigation is finally starting to get to him."

All Library locations closed Wednesday, March 29
All locations of The Seattle Public Library and the book drops at Central Library will be closed Wednesday, March 29 for a staff in-service day. Regular operating hours will resume Thursday, March 30.
Before (or at) your first meeting, discuss:
Look for books with complex characters who are forced to make difficult choices under difficult situations.
Books that spell out everything leave little to discuss. Some mysteries, Westerns, romances and science fiction/fantasy fall in this category.
There are many guides available to help book groups focusing on genre fiction find good books for discussion.
Try the following types of books:
Not everyone will like every book the group chooses. That's OK. We all have different likes and dislikes.
Reading a book to discuss it is different from reading for pleasure.
Ask yourself questions, read carefully, and imagine yourself in the story. Think about the style and structure of the book.
Discussion leaders may want to bring background information about the author and book to a meeting. Some online resources are:
See Books & Reading for more suggestions.
Check the Library for the following resources: "Current Biography," "Contemporary Authors," "Something about the Author," "The Dictionary of Literary Biography," "Book Review Digest" and "Book Review Index."
Examine the book
Draw conclusions
Think outside the book

Originally published in iMediaConnection on February 1, 2012.
Most people are pretty happy when they take a look at their web site traffic and see that a large share of traffic coming to their site from search engines. The natural reaction to these numbers is likely to be "Isn't this great? Look at all these new prospects who are finding me on the web!" But in many cases, such assumptions about who's finding your site via search may be completely wrong. Before I give you some tips on how you can improve your search results, let's take a look at how people use search engines today.
How do people search?
It all begins with a need or interest—something inspires a person to search for a certain topic. Let's use a hypothetical example of person considering buying a new camera. A typical search begins pretty broadly. Type "camera" into Google (65.9% of searches happen on Google according to ComScore, December 2011); the results page brings up a bunch of links for places where you can buy cameras, some photos of cameras, links to manufacturer's sites, and so on. Great—but you're not even sure what you're looking for yet. So you go back to the top of the page and start adding qualifiers to your search terms. Perhaps you go with "Camera Reviews" and are presented with a variety of sites offering reviews of the latest cameras. You start reading the reviews, go back to the search engine and search patterns start to diverge…maybe you want an "SLR camera", "digital video camera", "10 megapixel camera" or maybe even a "film camera." This research process can last minutes, hours, days—even weeks depending on the searchers interest level. Somewhere along the way the searcher will start to get specific and introduce branded searches into the mix (e.g. "canon camera" "kodak camera") and then near the end of the purchase cycle the searcher will start using specific model number as search terms.

Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
Were the Kaenon Women's Calais Sunglasses a performance stock car, the slot for the ignition key would lie squarely between the glare-fighting polarized lenses and the retro-inspired double-nose bridge. Aerodynamic spoilers would spring forth from the elegantly curved, oversized eight-base frame, and 20-inch rims would gleam in the jeweled metal detailing. The padded nose would be a plush, low-riding driver's seat, and the impact-resistant SR-91 lenses would be the crystal clear, raked front windshield. Ready to take a ride behind these sultry, performance shades yet'

Long working hours, standing in buses or local trains, waiting in queues and an unorganized daily routine are some of the factors that gives rise to Backache . Commonly referred to as backache it is one of the most common pains experienced by about nine out of ten adults.
Backache is clinically also known as dorsalgia and refers to a pain felt in the back that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine. A back pain may have a sudden onset and sometimes can be chronic.
The potential causes of pain in muscle tissue include muscle strains (pulled muscles), muscle spasm, and muscle imbalances of synovial joints.
Treatment:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
A Backache can be treated through heat therapy (hot pack) or cold compression therapy (e.g. ice or cold pack application). Massage therapy especially acupressure or pressure point massage are more beneficial than the classic style of massage. These massages should always be taken from an experienced therapist. Lifestyle modifications can also help in reducing a back ache.
⢠Regular exercises because it builds up the muscle tone and increases flexibility.
⢠One should take some preventive measures like doing back exercises, taking frequent breaks from the computer or desk, stretching, walking or performing any other activities. This will reduce the risk of a back pain.Â
⢠Breathing exercises will help in reducing the risk of a back pain.Â
⢠If you want to get rid off your back pain, then you need to maintain your body weight because being overweight puts pressure on other organs of the body. If you maintain a healthy weight for your height, you will decrease your risk of back pain.Â
⢠An incorrect sleeping position is one of the major reasons for back pain. Sleeping on your side with your knees pulled up slightly toward your chest is sometimes suggested by medical experts. Also a firm and soft mattress is best.
⢠To reduce the risk of a back pain, you need to quit smoking. Cigarettes contain nicotine which restricts the flow of pure blood to the spinal discs.Â
⢠A correct posture will always help you in preventing back pain. Keep your knees a bit higher than your hips while seated or if you stand for long periods, then keep your head up and your stomach pulled in. If possible, rest one foot on a stool and switch feet every five to 15 minutes.
These tips can to a great extent ease your physical stress and provide you with relief from your Backache.

liberal/progressive/terrorist! This is the first Thanksgiving in eight years where you represent the political majority. Because you know who voted with you? Oh, just fifty-three percent of the United States of America. HELL YEAH! Who's a member of the fringe lunatic this holiday season? Not you!
But what happens if your right-wing relatives still want to debate the outcome of the election? Defang your conservative loved ones with these ten helpful facts!:
President-elect Obama won by 8 million votes.
President Bush is probably drinking again. Many media conservatives are furious with President Bush. Experts say that Al Qaeda's recent video shows that the terrorists are afraid of President-elect Obama. President-elect Obama is cocky enough to think he can pull this "economic miracle" shit off. The "socialist" takeover of America's banks happened on Bush's watch. The "Democratic" Senate has been working with a one vote majority, and that vote is Joe Lieberman. If they get to the "Magic 60," that sixtieth vote is still Joe Lieberman. The majority of rich Americans voted to have their wealth spread. President Obama will probably only get to replace liberal judges on the Supreme Court. Cheer up, the GOP still owns the "racist belt!": |

The If You Were A Beer Test
Their result for The If You Were A Beer Test ...
(67% dark & bitter, 33% working class, 67% genuine)
So the deal with this test is that each taker, based on his or her scores, is assigned a beer that fits their personality (Corona, Bud Select, and so on), and along with the personality description, there's a poster or an ad for that beer. As you can imagine, most of the images feature booty models, sports cars, or, maybe even more depressing, retro kitsch.
It's a testament to Bass Ale, and therefore to YOU, that when I went to look for ads for Bass, all I found was this. An ad from 1937. Bass is legit, and if your scores are true, so are you. I tip my glass to that.
Personality-wise, you have refined tastes (after all, Bass is kind of expensive), but you know how to savor what you get. Your personality isn't exactly bubbly, but you're well-liked by your close circle of friends. Your sense of humor is rather dark, but that's just another way to say sophisticated, right? Cheers.
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 67% on dark, higher than 46% of your peers.
They scored 33% on workingclass, higher than 12% of your peers.
They scored 67% on genuine, higher than 33% of your peers.

We Meet Again, Old Friend
Posted By Anna Santiago On Nov 6 2011 @ 11:07 pm In Chicago Blackhawks | No Comments
In their first regulation loss at home, the Chicago Blackhawks were defeated by their old foe, the Vancouver Canucks.
The two teams' famed rivalry was most recently spotlighted in the first round of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs, when the Blackhawks managed to overcome a 3-0 deficit to take the President's Trophy winners all the way to Game 7, only to lose in overtime. It was a nail-biting series indeed, chock full of surprises and last-minute goals.
Tonight's game was the first meeting of the 'Nucks and 'Hawks since the 2010-2011 postseason, but it was considerably less exciting that the last one before it.
The Canucks were dominant from the start, outshooting the Hawks 17-9 in the first period, but Chicago's Corey Crawford was quick and on point, only allowing one Canuck goal (a powerplay goal by David Booth at the 6 minute mark) in. Michael Frolik answered the goal shortly with a wrister of his own to bring the scoreboard to 1-1 at the end of the frame.
Unfortunately, Booth's goal was one of many to come for the Canucks, who managed to convert 5 out of 6 powerplays —3 in the second period and 1 in the third— and take the 6-2 victory. Marcus Kruger notched the only other goal for Chicago, late in the second.
It was the crucial matter of defense for the Hawks tonight, and it simply wasn't there. Jonathan Toews was the first to admit it, saying that "[their] penalty kill went for a hike today, too."
For the first time in a long time, the Blackhawks weren't able to shake Roberto Luongo, who stopped 38 shots tonight. But on the other end of the ice, Corey Crawford stopped 32 shots of his own, and despite letting in 6 goals, made some pretty nifty saves to avoid any further running up of the scoreboard.He didn't receive much help from his fellow teammates in that department, to say the least.
The rapidly-developing new NHL rivalry will be renewed between these two teams in just 10 days, when the Hawks travel to Vancouver in hopes of avenging this tough loss.

I know that he did wrk at G&H, but that doesn't mean his suits had amazing construction.
That is, once he started his label, it doesn't follow that he had his suits made to G&H standards.
Keep in mind that most fashion labels (Prada, D&G, Gucci) have so-so construction in their suits, with a few exceptions.
Construction isn't paramount for many labels.
I know that most fashion houses do not have high quality construction, but I believe that McQueen is slightly above the others. Obviously you pay for the design as well, but there's definitely carry over from G&H.
