Antler Shed Hunting Adventures
Sandy and I and all the dogs met up with our friends Anna (of AKG Inspiration) and Chris and their two dogs to run around the woods, get some exercise and hunt for antler sheds. This is not the type of activity that Sandy and her dogs would normally join us for, and while it was nice to have them along, I did get the distinct feeling that things would get interesting. So come along on a photo tour of our day…
The recent snow and quick melt made for muddy conditions, but Finn and all the other dogs had a blast running around in the muck.
Wyatt came up big early, finding this T-Rex thigh bone. He was very proud, as well he should be.
Finn: "Is this an antler?? I think I found an antler!" (He found several deer parts portable enough to bring back to me in varying stages of decay. I praised him for this, as I felt it was a short leap from finding and fetching leg bones to finding and fetching antler sheds.)
Winnie: "Dude. You are an idiot. Antlers don't have joints, and they don't reek like buzzard breath. Which you now have."
There were a few creek crossings that got pretty interesting. Here Sandy crosses with Monkey, but Petey is no fan of water, so he wouldn't cross here.
Speaking of Petey, I didn't get a lot of still photos of him today as he was on a leash with Sandy. But here is a video dramatization of Petey when he timidly tried to venture out a bit off leash.
Okay this happened. Luna and Winnie are watching a scene unfold.
Here is that scene: We were walking along the margin of a wooded area and a dead cornfield, and we stopped to watch many, many deer in an adjacent field. They were running back and forth and one of them darted into the field we were in. She was maybe 150 yards away when some of the dogs saw her and took off. Finn was in the lead with Wyatt and Monkey not far behind. I had the e-collar on Finn but a firm "Here!" caused him to break off his chase and circle back. Wyatt also broke off his chase and came back. While I was congratulating myself for what a good boy Finn was, we realized – if a little slowly – that Monkey was not coming back without a deer. He had visions of himself, like a lion dragging a gazelle into a tree, just hauling that deer back to us as everyone would cheer and hold him up in the air and celebrate his bravery and prowess.
Perhaps he was imagining the cheering as he ran through the dried corn and dimly heard people shouting his name. These "cheers" only propelled him faster. Two hundred yards. The deer spots him. Three hundred. The deer is hauling ass now. Four hundred. Yelling is fruitless at this point (even more fruitless than it was when he was within ear shot). At one point, the white dot moving in the distance changed course, and Sandy said, "he's coming back." But I knew better. He had taken a bad line on the deer, not realizing that when things are a thousand yards away moving at forty miles an hour, you can't run to where they are, you have to run to where they're going to be. A quick thirty degree course correction and he was off again. Easily half a mile away now, a small dot in an enormous plot of land, it was hard to get a perception of the speed involved. I once watched the International Space Station make an arc across the night sky. A dim, white spot lazily crossing from horizon to horizon in a couple of minutes. This was like that. It doesn't look like it's going 17,000 miles an hour, but you know in your heart there's no way you can catch it.
Still, Mommies do what Mommies do, so Mommie dropped some extra baggage and took off in a jog after the International Monkey Station. As he neared the treeline maybe three quarters of a mile away, several other deer spooked at the frenzy of activity and took off after the lead deer. To us in the distance, it just played out in surreal slow motion. The other deer, five or six, were trampling through the corn in a panic, basically right where Monkey was. I thought, well if he doesn't get killed right here, he'll have to be scared enough to turn back. Nope. He now had a half dozen new targets ahead of him, and he slipped into the treeline and vanished.
By this time Sandy had reached the general area and, I presume, was calling him. I can only imagine what I would have been yelling at that point, but we couldn't tell what she was yelling, what with the vast distance involved. When she stopped running, I knew she had spotted him and he was on his way to her, and we all could relax enough to really laugh quite hard at the entire incident. So we waited, oh I don't know, a half hour or so for Sandy and Monkey to return. Perhaps this photo gives an idea of how far that distant treeline is. Actually the treeline here is the short way across the field. To the left, where Monkey ran, the edge of the field is probably four times as distant.
When he returned from running the scale-adjusted equivalent of me sprinting from our house in Virginia to Dayton, Ohio, the other dogs were quite interested in what happened. "Did you catch it? How close did you get?? Were you just FREAKING when those other deer almost ran you over??? You're so BRAVE!!"
While Monkey had his sights set on live deer, we still hadn't found an antler shed. Despite covering, depending on which of our party you were talking about, between six and forty-five miles. Sandy finally kept us from getting skunked when she found this nice little one! Being a great steward of the environment, she returned it to the earth to let nature take its natural course. And by "being a great steward of the environment," I mean, "Having shallow pockets and not really paying attention to stuff falling out of them." But at least we got this photo of today's find.
Here is our team of shed hunters: Luna, Wyatt, Winnie, Finn and Petey. On the end there, doing things his own way as he always does, is Monkey, the dog with the biggest heart of all. He'll sleep for two days, and deserve every minute. And as I watch his feet twitching in his sleep, and his mouth quivering just a bit, I'd like to think that in his dream, he gets that gazelle all the way up the tree.

On January 8 passengers of the train Kirov – Moscow complained there was no heating in one of the cars. According to the passengers, the temperature inside was around 0°C (32°F – RRT), while it was -36°C (-33°F – RRT) outside.
"Everyone in the car started dressing up in fur coats, down jackets. I called the conductor immediately, but she said that she notified two of her superiors about the case, and can not do anything else. Also, an employee of Russian Railways told us that our car in this condition for the 8th day, but it is in use anyway," said passenger named Irina.
According to Life.ru, only this car was this cold, all the rest were heated normally. There were passengers with children in the problem car.
Russian Railways had no immediate comment on the situation.

Full Tilt folding as standalone poker site and joining PokerStars. GPL draft order determined. Phil Galfond names names and urges the poker community to do the same. And more.
Full Tilt will soon join PokerStars network
As was first reported by PokerTube, and later confirmed by OnlinePokerReport, Full Tilt Poker is about to be folded into PokerStars, which will lead to the two online poker sites combining their traffic, and Amaya saving a boatload of money as they'll no longer have to innovate for two online poker platforms, and can eliminate some jobs that are redundant.
Following Full Tilt Poker's post-Black Friday issues, the company was scooped up by PokerStars and later relaunched. While the rebooted Full Tilt managed to stay in the Top 5 in terms of online poker traffic, the site never recaptured its former glory, despite having arguably the best or at worst second-best software.
Over the past year Full Tilt Poker has turned into an also ran in the industry, and now ranks 11th on pokerscout.com's traffic ranking charts.
Quick Hitters
– For the first time in 33 years the World Series of Poker will host a team bracelet tournament in 2016.
– The Global Poker League draft order has been determined, here's what you need to know. And speaking of the GPL, Alex Weldon recently broke down the contract players were required to sign in order to participate.
– Heads are about to explode on 2+2, as Iovation, a company steeped in Ultimate Bet taint has been recommended for approval by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
– Marco Rubio is a cosponsor of Sheldon Adelson's RAWA legislation, but the Senator from Florida, and presidential candidate, does have some progressive thoughts when it comes to poker.
– In an op-ed for PokerNews.com, Phil Galfond has decided enough is enough, and has outed a high-stakes "scammer" and urged the poker community to do the same.
– The California horseracing industry was handed a gift horse, when they were offered $60 million annually if they would acquiesce on their demand to have the chance to offer online poker. Here's why they shouldn't pass this offer up.
– Oral arguments will get underway in the New Jersey sports betting case tomorrow. Here's a quick refresher on the case, and what could happen if New Jersey wins.

Silicon Veggie
Mediterranean Mood
By Elisa Camahort
IN CASE you haven't already noticed, I offer you this veg*n tip: Go Mediterranean. While you may have visions of kebabs and gyros dancing before your eyes, much of what naturally accompanies such meaty Mediterranean meals is suitable for the vegan diet. I put the tip to the test this week and dined at Cafe Artemis, in the Pruneyard in Campbell.
Noshing on their appetizer platter ($11.95) alone would have been a satisfying meal. Bonus points for not blinking an eye at our request to bring the appetizer that contained dairy (tzatziki) out on a separate plate. Double bonus points for separating out another appetizer that we didn't realize had dairy and adding it to the second plate without our asking.
So what was left for me? Plenty. Falafel, hummus, tabouli, dolma lentil kofte and plenty of warm, soft flat bread. That's a meal packed with protein and healthy grains right there: chickpeas, lentils, bulgur wheat. Naturally nutritious. Naturally low-fat.
And lest you think the same could be said for plenty of taste-deficient "health food," Mediterranean appetizers are liberal with the garlic and herbs, too. We're talking tasty, not just healthy. The portions of the appetizers served in this platter for two were also healthy. My dining companion and I did not make it all the way through the platter, and I had plenty of my entree to take home because I was already pretty well satisfied when it arrived.
There are two identified vegetarian entrees on the menu: vegetable kebabs and Mediterranean okra over rice pilaf ($13.95). I chose the latter because, theoretically, I could string together the mushrooms, carrots, onions, peppers and eggplant found on the kebabs myself just about anytime, but it's doubtful I'll be cooking with okra anytime soon.
That is because okra is a funny beast; it all relies on the cooking style and time, because, like a few other veggies I can name (I'm talking to you, eggplant!), if cooked too long or too short it can go from cute, firm little alternative vegetable to slimy veggie from hell. Cafe Artemis gets it right, and along with a tangy tomato-based sauce and plump, nutty rice pilaf, the Mediterranean okra did this vegetable-that's-really-a-fruit proud.
It's always good to have Mediterranean restaurants on your vegan radar, and Cafe Artemis is the perfect example of why: a bounty of fresh, healthy, flavorful options for vegetarians and vegans. Opa!

As we count down the final days to the theatrical film release of Disney's long awaited sequel, Tron Legacy, we continue bringing you the latest in Tron inspired designs. This latest one comes from Alon Karpman, the IDSA IDEA award winning creator of The Freerider skate cycle, a hub-less two wheeled self-propelling skate-a-ma-thing currently in production. Alon, a Brooklyn based design entrepreneur and overall kid-at-heart, couldn't resist the opportunity to create a one-off tribute from his best-selling skatecycle using colors and glow-in-the-dark elements reminiscent of Tron's signature light cycle.
Constantly tinkering and improving his product, Alon's describes this one-off as being the product of a "nerdgasm" over the new film's release. The celebrated fantasy vehicle known as the light cycle has no less given birth to thousands of sketchbooks, and hardcore sci-fi fans alike. We applaud Alon for being brave and resourceful enough to take those naive futuristic thumbnail drawings and renderings, and actually having gone off to develop a working product and company born from excitement and imagination.
If you haven't seen the original skatecycle, check out photos of early prototypes and videos of it in action after the jump. There might also be a video of a light cycle race if you have no idea what we're talking about.Brooklyn Workshop Freerider Skatecycle (The Original)

When Susan Justice says writing her debut album "Eat Dirt" was "like therapy," she's not blowing smoke.
The singer-songwriter, the second oldest of 10 children, grew up as part of a cult known as The Family. "Eat Dirt" remains widely accessible while chronicling Justice's youth spent traveling the world (sleeping in places like vans and train station benches) and being told what she could think and read and listen to--and her ultimate decision to set out on her own. Then, Justice (not her real name) busked in New York subway stations, where a non-profit organization heard her and in 2007 helped her land a performance on "Oprah," where Justice performed a song about Oprah to the mogul's face. ("That was like 'Inception,'" she says. "It was like a dream within a dream." Read below for more on that.)

What is it like to live and work in Delhi?
Delhi is home to approximately 20 million people. A big city experiencing a boom in population and income. With a young population, as with many countries of the South, the middle class is growing quickly, and you will see large disparities in the distribution of wealth. The city is polluted and the traffic is congested during the peak hours; commuting is very time consuming, noisy, dusty and dirty. Cultural life in Delhi is still developing compared to the large European cities, but you will still find plenty to do, with many concerts, expos and shows to attend. The night life is primarily reserved for the "Upper class". The young German-speaking community (expats + Indian German-speaking people who often work in tourism) is rather active, and there are many festivals throughout the year!
Attention! Delhi, like any major city in India, is not an "easy" place to live: Temperatures are extreme (as cold as 0 degrees overnight in December and January, up to Protected content in summer). The extreme poverty of a large section of the population, the pollution and noise, and adjusting to an Indo-western work culture (system of the castes, Hinduism etc) all add to the challenging yet rewarding experience of living and working in India.

Sure if in the the middle of the jungle mid flight is a low angle runway crash to you and if it will help you sleep better at night then by all means be my guest.
Having been "near" a crash site qualifies you to what exactly ?
The debris found in New Baltimore include paper and nylon, Crowley said. He said that the items are lightweight and can easily be carried by wind. At the time of the crash, there was wind speed of 9 knots per hour heading to the southeast, where both Indian Lake and New Baltimore are located.

Not likely. There were many local witnesses to the crash. There was an obvious fuel fire and many parts were buried in soft earth beneath the crater. A flyover doesn't explain this.

Lear 35A - hit ground at 350 mph (as determined by radar at angle of 80 deg) Biggest piece found was 2 x 3 ft
section of tail fin Rest was scattered around as "metallic confetti"
Walked the crash scene (belong to the Fire department) marking pieces of body (most was scraps of tissue
with little recognizable) for the coroner to recover
So I was up close and personal at the scene doing body recovery....
Here is summary of accident report
Wally Miller, the coroner at Shanksville said he found no blood, but found human remains. When pushed on the question of finding human remains, Miller said...Yes/No/Some....and then said that the only remains found were hands and feet - nothing else. So, did Mr. Miller find 40 pair of each? If so, how is it that no other body parts survived? How is it that there was no blood? There was no fire to eviscerate any of the materials, so what happened to it - all.
I do find it interesting to note that the coroner himself was noted as saying he never found any blood....
I do find it interesting to note that the coroner himself was noted as saying he never found any blood, and that all he found was hands and feet.
The FBI announced Monday that its investigation of the site where a hijacked jet slammed into a field here is complete and that 95 percent of the plane was recovered.
Crowley said the biggest piece of the plane that was recovered was a 6-by-7-foot piece of the fuselage skin, including about four windows. The heaviest piece, Crowley said, was part of an engine fan, weighing about 1,000 pounds.
Miller said consultants with United Airlines suggested another search because bad weather this week might have shaken additional airplane parts out of the trees in a wooded area near the crash site. The coroner said the workers would also be looking for any human remains not already collected.
Some pieces of the aircraft -- most no larger than one square foot -- have already been found because of the bad weather, he said.
The Somerset County coroner said yesterday that he should know by this weekend if the last big sweep of the United Airlines Flight 93 crash scene yielded remains that he can link to any of the 44 people who were aboard the hijacked airliner.
Over the weekend, about 300 volunteers combed a half-mile square around the crash site and found enough debris from the Boeing 757 to fill about one-third of a trash container.
Most of it was little more than thumbnail size -- "no bigger than a pop rivet holding two pieces of aluminum," Miller said yesterday -- that last week's rains washed from trees bordering the stretch of strip mine where the airliner crashed nose-first Sept. 11.
And please reference the article that makes the claim that 60 tons of rubble (out of what should have been over 110 tons worth of airplane [empty]) was gained. Thanks!

Nothing unusual about this ....
At my crash scene we found a hand - minus the fingers along with several amputated fingers. This was out
of 4 victims
Hands and feet often can survivve because they are composed of numerous bones with tough fiberous tissues
in form of muscle, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue which hold them together
Also hands and feet being at the extremities are esaily disarticulated by violent impact

I've heard this line of "reasoning" before - why is it interesting? There were only 47 persons on board, that's about 52 gallons of blood. Its not like the trees were going to be dripping with blood after a firey high speed impact. There was probably about 30 gallons of beverages on board - would you expect there to be coffee and tea all over?

There have been many ATS threads on this topic and witness statements are available with an easy search. I don't have those sites saved and don't feel compelled to do your searches for you. Maybe what you have read in the past was designed to sell CD's and books. Some people actually pay for them while those that sell them have a financial interest in perpetuating their theories regardless of how far fetched they are.

As I remember, there were fuel fires and a burning airplane tire, parts were in trees, and human remains were scattered about, acccording to eyewitness first responders. Light weight materials were carried downwind after impact and parts were buried well beneath the surface in a crater, so the idea that these pieces were somehow dropped by another aircraft along with thousands of gallons of fuel is a stretch that only very few could accept. Responders were on site quickly and the CIA wouldn't have time to hide the crater digging equipment.
".If you were to go down there, you wouldn't know that was a plane crash," State police Maj. Lyle Szupinka continued. "You would look around and say, 'I wonder what happened here?' The first impression looking around you wouldn't say, 'Oh, looks like a plane crash. The debris is very, very small.

FOX News reporter: I want to get quickly to Chris Konicki; he's a photographer with the Pittsburgh affiliate of FOX affiliate. He was back there just a couple of minutes go and Chris, I've seen the pictures, it looks like there's nothing there except for a hole in the ground.
Chris Konicki: Ah, basically that's right. The only thing you can see from where we where, ah, was a big gouge in the earth and some broken trees. We could see some people working, walking around in the area, but from where we could see it, there wasn't much left.
Reporter: Any large pieces of debris at all?
Konicki: Na, there was nothing, nothing that you could distinguish that a plane had crashed there.
Reporter: Smoke? Fire?
Konicki: Nothing. It was absolutely quite. It was, uh, actually very quiet. Um, nothing going on down there. No smoke. No fire. Just a couple of people walking around. They looked like part of the NTSB crew walking around, looking at the pieces.
Reporter: How big would you say that hole was?
Konicki: From my estimates, I would guess it was probably about 20ft to 15ft long and probably 10ft wide.

Of course, there are doubting Thomases everywhere and even if they were given total access to all of the wreckage, they would say that it was planted by reptilians or the NWO or other personal demons.
That the plane was buried was a result of it not striking native rock and soil, like Flt 427 [see my previous posts in this thread for a link with photos], but a strip-mine reclamation site with loose fill.

Youth Shootings Drop By 40 Percent In 2013 In Chicago
CHICAGO (STMW) — The youth violence that has too often drawn a national spotlight on Chicago has taken a significant dip, a new analysis shows.
According to a report obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times, shooting incidents involving victims 16 and younger last year dropped 40 percent over 2012.
Shooting incidents involving Chicago Public Schools students more than halved — dropping 56 percent so far this school year, compared to August through January 21 of the previous school year, according to the city's analysis.
Already basking in the glow of the city's lowest murder rate since 1965 and lowest overall crime rate since 1972, city officials credit this newest drop to coordinated anti-youth violence efforts they say are paying off.
"Chicago is making important progress in reducing youth violence. No single part of the system can do this alone," Mayor Rahm Emanuel told the Sun-Times.
Nearly half of all violent crimes in the city involve school-age youth.
The youth data follows the historic drop in homicides to 415, from the 503 that was the nation's highest murder rate in 2012. Chicago also saw a 24 percent drop in overall shootings and 16 percent drop in overall crime.
This time last year, it was the city's bloodiest January in a decade, and Chicago was about to draw a prolonged and unwanted spotlight with the Jan. 29 killing of 15-year-old honor student Hadiya Pendleton.
But 2013 ended with 88 fewer homicides than 2012; and 20 fewer than 2011.
Shootings dipped to 1,864, from the 2,448 in 2012; and the 2,225 in 2011.
But shootings among the 16 and younger age group dropped at nearly twice the rate of the general population — to 212, from the 354 in 2012.
It was a 35 percent decrease from the 324 youth involved shootings in 2011.
Shootings involving CPS students from August through Jan. 21 had dropped to 82, compared to 146 the same time period the previous school year.
"Our overall crime fighting strategy doesn't delineate between children, adults and senior citizens. But there are some very specific things we're doing that has impacted on this," Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said in an interview with the Sun-Times.
McCarthy and Jadine Chou, CPS safety and security chief, both touted Gang School Safety Teams where police and school personnel work to reduce gang conflicts within schools. The teams currently operate at 35 high schools.
"If we identify students at risk, either on the bubble or affiliated with gangs, we'll work with the school to do an intervention, to give them additional support to find a more positive path," said Chou. "We do this literally everyday, starting each morning with a CPD conference call."
In media roundtables earlier this month, Emanuel and McCarthy attributed the drop in overall crime to retooled policing strategies. Those include targeted efforts combatting violent street gangs; and the so-called "impact zones" in 20 high-crime areas where off-duty officers and rookie cops have been conducting foot patrols to a tune of $93 million in overtime.
But it's the violence toll on Chicago's youth that captures the glare.
And the youth statistics seem to indicate promise from the slew of prevention efforts involving police, schools, parks, and city departments.
A curfew violation program in key police districts refers youth and their families to Hartgrove Hospital for intervention.
Increased efforts, including three new dropout re-engagement centers and thousands of additional alternative school slots, target dropouts.
And greater city funding is flowing to nonprofits targeting youth in high-violence neighborhoods with jobs, mentorship and behavioral therapy.
That formula, found to have led to a 51 percent drop in arrests for violent crimes among participants, was expanded last summer to youth with criminal records. Some 12,000 are released from the juvenile justice system annually and statistics show 83 percent become repeat offenders within three years.
Increased funding for summer job training, after-school and conflict resolution programs also came last summer from an unprecedented $50 million mayoral challenge that drew corporations into city youth violence efforts.
"One of the most exciting things about this is that we are using different strategies to address the needs whereever we encounter them — in school, out of school, coming out of the juvenile justice system or violating curfew," said the city's Dept. of Family & Support Services Commissioner Evelyn Diaz.
"But you can't just throw money at a problem. You have to be really smart in how you design programs, and measure to make sure they are actually having results. That's what's really new here."

April 17, 2007Music by famous composers pairs with orchestra improvisation based on kids ideas
Rochester, NY – The music of six famous composers will share the stage with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra's own improvisations based on childrens' ideas in Once Upon a Time, the final orKIDStra concert of the season. On Sunday, May 6 at 2:00 p.m. in the Performance Hall at Hochstein, Michael Butterman, Conductor for Education and Outreach (The Louise and Henry Epstein Family Chair) leads the Orchestra to show how music is able to tell a story through representation of character, setting and plot. Free pre-concert activities will take place at 1:00 p.m.
In addition to such programmatic music as Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King; Rimsky-Korsakov's "The Sea and Sinbad's Ship" from Scheherazade; Rossini's Overture to William Tell and Saint-Säens' spooky Danse Macabre, ideas from kids in the audience will be used to tell a story, improvised on the spot by members of the RPO. Although ideal for children of all ages, orKIDStra concerts are designed for families with young children ages 3-9. The orKIDStra Series is sponsored by Wendy's Restaurants of Rochester.
General admission tickets for orKIDStra Series concerts are $12 for adults and $10 for children, available online at www.rpo.org, by phone (454-2100) and in person from the RPO Box Office, and at any area Wegmans. RPO Box Office Hours are Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. (non-concert Saturdays, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.). Wegmans is open seven days a week. A convenience fee may apply.
Now in its 84th season, the RPO inspires and enriches the community through the art of music. The Orchestra is passionately dedicated to outstanding musical performance at the highest artistic levels, and has a unique tradition of musical versatility, commitment to music education in the broadest sense and a deep and enduring engagement with the community. The RPO has been honored with the New York State Governor's Arts Award, and two recent ASCAP awards for adventurous programming.
RPO performances are made possible in part with grants from the National Endowment for the Arts; the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency; the State of New York; Monroe County; the City of Rochester; and American Airlines, the official airline of the RPO.

Raising money for Neonatal units.
Amount to donate:
Ickle Pickles are the smallest and sickest babies who need intensive care in Neonatal Units – Whether born too soon or with an illness the NHS cares for over 20,000 ickle pickles every year.
Advances in Neonatal medicine have realised incredible improvements in survival rates - in 1975, half of all babies born weighing less than 1.5kg (3.3 lbs) died. Compare that to today where over 90% of premature babies weighing 800g or more (equivalent to a bag of sugar) survive.
Over the same period the pressures on Neonatal care have spiralled due mainly to the expanding population of the UK and an increase in multiple births as fertility treatment has improved.
With NHS budgets being continually squeezed there is a real and tangible need for public donation and support for neonatal care.
The Ickle Pickle Partnership turns gifts and donations from generous people into specialised equipment such as incubators and ventilators to help Neonatal units provide incredible levels of care for Ickle Pickles.
Besides our own appeals, we enable parents and families to run their own localised appeals for the specific Neonatal unit that helped their ickle pickle – together we can make a big difference.

Frédéric Mitterrand (born 21 August 1947) is a French-Tunisian politician[1] who served as Minister of Culture and Communication of France from 2009 to 2012 under President Nicolas Sarkozy. Throughout his career, he has been an actor, screenwriter, television presenter, writer, producer and director.
Born in Paris, he is the nephew of François Mitterrand, who was the President of France from 1981 to 1995, and the son of engineer Robert Mitterrand[2] (1915–2002) and Edith Cahier, the niece of Eugène Deloncle, the co-founder of "La Cagoule".[citation needed]
He went to the Lycée Janson de Sailly in Paris and studied history and geography at the Paris West University Nanterre La Défense, and political science at Sciences Po. He taught economics, history and geography at EABJM from 1968 to 1971. In 1978, he was a film critic at J'informe. From 1971 to 1986, he ran several art film cinemas in Paris (Olympic Palace, Entrepôt and Olympic-Entrepôt).[3] He also had roles in a number of films, and was in the 1980s active as a producer and director in TV productions.
In June 2008, Mitterrand was appointed as the director of the French Academy in Rome by President Nicolas Sarkozy.[4]
A year later, on 23 June 2009, Mitterrand was appointed to the French government as the Minister of Culture and Communications[5] until May 2012.[6]
Mitterrand, who is openly bisexual, writes a monthly column for Têtu.[7]
The Bad Life[edit]
Mitterrand's autobiographical novel The Bad Life (French: La mauvaise vie) was a best seller in 2005. In the book he details his "delight" whilst visiting the male brothels of Bangkok, and writes, "I got into the habit of paying for boys ... The profusion of young, very attractive and immediately available boys put me in a state of desire I no longer needed to restrain or hide." At the time of its release Mitterrand was applauded for his honesty, but he has had to defend his writings after he publicly defended Roman Polanski when Polanski was detained in Switzerland on an American request for extradition for raping a thirteen-year-old girl.[8]
On 5 October 2009, Marine Le Pen of the French National Front Party quoted sections of the book on French television, accusing him of having sex with underage boys and engaging in "sex tourism", demanding that Mitterrand resign his position as culture minister. Amongst others he was also criticised by the Socialist Party spokesman Benoît Hamon, who stated: "As a minister of culture he has drawn attention to himself by defending a film maker and he has written a book where he said he took advantage of sexual tourism. To say the least, I find it shocking."[9] On the other hand, some conservatives supported Mitterrand, and a close aide to Nicolas Sarkozy said the French President backed his Culture Minister, describing the controversy around him as "pathetic."[10]
Mitterrand insisted the book is not an autobiography, the publisher describes it as a "novel inspired by autobiography" and the BBC refers to it as "autobiographical novel".[2][11][12] In his own defence Mitterrand stated, "Each time I was with people who were my age, or who were five years younger – there wasn't the slightest ambiguity – and who were consenting," and that he uses the term "boys" loosely, both in his life and in the book. He also declared, "I condemn sexual tourism, which is a disgrace. I condemn paedophilia, which I have never in any way participated in."[13]

Is 'New Yorker' Critic James Wood Creating an Army of Like-minded Young Novelists?
But what will James Wood do with his power???
Indisputably, the answer is yes, as revealed by Leon Neyfakh in the Observer. Wood, the recently hired book critic at The New Yorker, just released his own book, How Fiction Works, a prescriptive guide to writing. Specifically, it's a prescriptive guide to writing the kind of book that James Wood loves the best — the high-realist novel, which focuses on character and dialogue rather than on stylistic flourishes. And writers are starting to listen.
A few years ago, Wood coined the term "hysterical realism" in a review of Zadie Smith's White Teeth to describe the kind of novel he doesn't like, and unbelievably, a chastened Zadie Smith pledged to change her ways. And she's not the last! Alarmingly, it seems like more and more young writers — intrigued by the notion of a positive review in The New Yorker, or just seduced by Wood's British accent — are adopting Wood's preferred style. Neyfakh turns up writers at two of the country's most prestigious M.F.A. programs — Columbia and Iowa — who are already tailoring their work to be more, well, Woody. Wood even taught a workshop at Columbia in the "free indirect" style of which he's a proponent.
So fine, Wood is turning the world's young writers into an army of like-minded litterateurs. But what is he going to do with them once he's got them assembled? Are his plans peaceful? Or does he intend for his armies to depose Sam Tanenhaus at the Times Book Review? Storm the Random House building? Take over the publishing world? There's a new literary sheriff in town, folks, and you better walk the stylistic straight and narrow. Too many adjectives in your first novel, and you'll be strung up, cowboy.

Obama Awards National Voting Machine Contract to VW
Today the Whitehouse announced awarding a national voting machine contract to Volkswagen. Citing recent news articles, Obama is quoted as saying, "We are excited to award this contract to VW engineers who have proven their superior programming skills."
Analysts wonder at the timing of this announcement. Today's upset in Kentucky may be telling. Today's election in Kentucky resulted in Matt Bevin becoming the first republican to become governor in Kentucky in 40 years. Analysts wonder if that stinging loss and others this election day had anything to do with the Obama administration reaching out to VW.
When spokesman Josh Earnest was asked if today's election losses had anything to do with awarding the contract to VW he replied, "VW has proven their superior programming skills which we feel will help our country bring about social justice at the polling booth."

Home » News Labor Dept. Confirms: It Will Ensure Illegal Aliens Get Paid Legal Wages in U.S. Jobs
|Labor Sec. Hilda Solis
The written statement backed up a video statement that Labor Secretary Hilda Solis made to CNSNews.com on Monday in which she indicated that "partnership" agreements she had signed that day with a group of Latin American countries will obligate the U.S. government to protect the working conditions for both "documented and undocumented" migrant laborers here in the United States. (See earlier story.)
The Labor Department's determination to make U.S. employers treat illegal aliens taking jobs in the United States as if they were U.S citizens or legal immigrants seems to contradict the Immigration and Nationality Act. That act says "employers may hire only persons who may legally work in the United States (i.e., citizens and nationals of the U.S.) and aliens authorized to work in the U.S." and that the U.S. government "protects U.S. citizens and aliens authorized to accept employment in the U.S. from discrimination in hiring or discharge on the basis of national origin and citizenship status." . . .
On Monday, Labor Secretary Solis had signed "partnerships" with Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and El Salvador to protect the rights of "migrant" workers in the United States.
During the signing ceremony, Solis said, "No matter how you got here or how long you plan to stay, you have certain rights. You have the right to be safe and in a healthy workplace and the right to a legal wage. We gather here today to strengthen our shared commitment to protect the labor rights of migrant workers in the United States. Unfortunately, due to language barriers and immigration status, migrant workers can be those that are most vulnerably abused."
After the signing ceremony, CNSNews.com asked Solis: "Both documented and undocumented workers will be protected under U.S. labor laws?" . . .
Before signing the "partnerships" with Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and El Salvador on Monday, Solis had already signed similar partnerships to with the governments of Mexico, Nicaragua and Guatemala to protect migrant workers in the U.S. from those countries. Solis indicated on Monday that she was also "pursuing accords with governments from South East Asia and others in the Caribbean." . . . [Full Story]

Will racing simulator nuts and cartoony kart-heads come together?Edit
Who exactly do developers Bizarre Creations see as the perfect audience for Blur? If you consider yourself a car nerd then most likely you'll want one of the many, many games which features licensed vehicles to have at least some handling and performance similarities with their real-life counterparts.
If you're a fan of kart games or weapon-based arcade racers then chances are you're expecting hoverships or balloon-headed monkey drivers. Ideally, hoverships driven by balloon-headed monkeys. Blur has combined Mario Kart and Wipeout's gameplay with Project Gotham's eclectic taste in cars and (seeing Land Rovers racing competi-tively with rusted VW Beetles and Nissan 350Zs), and has you firing plasma balls and triggering energy waves. It leaves a peculiar taste.
Are we making too much of a snap judgement here? Are we getting all intolerant in our old age? After all, Project Gotham was hardly a simulator and Blur harks back (somewhat unfashionably) to the likes of Need for Speed: Underground and Midnight Club 2 – two titles that embraced reality only lightly. The Midnight Club series especially has long mixed real cars with power-ups and online play.
Although Blur will be primarily played as an online title, it also has a substantial single-player component. In this mode, your ultimate aim is to defeat nine rivals, whom you are allowed to compete against in one-on-one races after completing a set amount of races and meeting some of their specific objectives (such as wrecking X amount of cars or landing X number of power-ups).
Beat them and you'll be rewarded with their special ride and a power-up 'mod' (such as extra Bolt ammo or a stronger shield) to use in future races. In addition to straight-up races, you'll also get to take part in beat-the-clock Checkpoint races and a mode called Destruction where you must take down as much traffic as possible using your Bolt attack before the time runs out.
Playing in single-player will highlight several things. One is a steep difficulty curve. Two is that having 20 racers on the field at once is fantastic fun and now something we demand from every racer hereon in. Three is the realisation that the comparatively short-range weaponry means that, get enough of a lead, and you'll be untouchable – or drop back, and you're unlikely to catch up with the podium positions. Four is that the solo mode acts mainly as preparation for your eventual venture into the online arena.
You might have got the impression that we think Blur isn't the evolution of PGR that we were hoping for and this silly racer is a bit of throwaway fluff for 'the casuals' – but that isn't quite true. Once we got over our stubborn refusal to suspend disbelief it finally dawned on us that Blur – if you take it for what it is – is bloody good fun, especially online.
Unlike sombre simulators where the top three is usually decided by the second corner, a 20-player race in Blur is a frantic, unpredictable and explosive scrabble to be anything but last. If anything, the way it encourages an every-man-for-himself attitude, like grannies at Walmart sales, means finishing anything higher than tenth can feel like an achievement.
Blur is definitely no mould breaker (after all, almost all the power-ups are just techno variations of Mario Kart's and similarities to Midnight Club have been covered), but it is refined, fast-paced, pick-up-and-play arcade racing with flourishes of individuality.
If we were to change anything then we'd like the vehicle drifting to be less speed-sapping and the tracks to be even more flamboyant. If you're only going to make a nod to reality then you might as well go completely nuts.
In the world of combat racing, Blur is a high production example. The use of licensed vehicles may be more for the purposes of novelty than to transform gameplay but if you're looking for a less fantastical, less bouncy and altogether more nail-biting take on Mario Kart you may have just found what you're looking for here.
