WASHINGTON — Underscoring the divisions within their party, Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday split over a key issue in the healthcare debate as centrists teamed with Republicans to reject creation of a "public option" for medical insurance.
The committee voted 15 to 8 against establishing a public program, after a sometimes emotional debate that stretched over half a day, revealed tensions between liberal and conservative Democrats and laid bare the chasm between the political parties over how to repair the nation's troubled healthcare system.
It was the biggest setback to date for liberal Democrats, but did not kill the possibility of a public option being included in final legislation. Liberals argue that such a plan is needed to increase competition among insurance companies, rein in costs and guarantee affordable coverage for all Americans.
Backing an amendment by Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), liberal lawmakers were rebuffed by five centrist Democrats, some of whom argued that such a plan would bankrupt hospitals in rural areas, while others expressed concern that it would hurt the private insurance industry that is important to their communities -- an industry that also contributes to their campaign treasuries.

- The draft Labour manifesto was leaked to the press this week. The reaction to its contents was mixed. Whilst the Telegraph condemned the document as the most interventionist, fiscally reckless, left wing proposal of any party since the 1980s, the Mirror said that it is full of "highly popular" policies, such as nationalising rail franchises, abolishing tuition fees and state intervention to cut energy bills.
- Jeremy Corbyn's car ran over a BBC cameraman and Len McCluskey fell over. Fair to say the press around the leak was not best handled. It blindsided the leadership. On the way to a Labour meeting, Corbyn's car ran over a reporter's foot and Unite General Secretary Len McCluskey fell over whilst descending the stairs on his way out.
- Tim Farron also fell over. During a live broadcast on Sky News, Tim Farron was seen tripping over on the Lib Dem campaign bus. In a completely separate announcement, the Lib Dems said they would decriminalise cannabis. Farron also got to drive a hover craft this week.
- Theresa May appeared on the One Show with her husband Philip. Philip appeared the more comfortable of the two taking personal questions. Theresa raised a few eyebrows, saying in their household "there are boy jobs and girl jobs". She also recounted a somewhat suspect story about a time a young woman in Parliament told her, "your shoes got me involved in politics".
- Labour and the Lib Dems both pledged more education funding. Labour proposed a £5bn increase covered by an increase in corporation tax, and the Lib Dems promised a further £7bn, paid for by staying in the single market.
- Theresa May borrowed from Ed Miliband on energy. The Prime Minister suggested that the Tory manifesto would contain a price cap on energy prices, similar to the price freeze in the 2015 Labour manifesto. The Lib Dems, industry leaders and allegedly several Tory candidates were sceptical about whether the proposal would be effective. The draft Labour manifesto included a similar proposal.
- Jeremy Corbyn gave a speech on defence and foreign policy. He said there would be "no more hand holding with the US", and that a Labour Government would introduce a Minister for Peace. Despite saying that Labour would continue with the new nuclear deterrent, he refused again to categorically say if he himself would ever press the nuclear button.
Polls apart
There have been minimal changes to what the polls are showing in the last week. An average of polls in the last seven days suggests the Tories have slightly strengthened their lead, primarily by taking support from UKIP in the aftermath of their dismal local election performance last week. Polling coming out over the weekend and early next week will be a good indicator of whether Corbyn's policy platform is as popular as the Labour leadership claims.
The week ahead
- Having delayed their manifesto launch from this week, the Tories are likely to publish their manifesto next week.
- It is anticipated that Labour will formally launch their manifesto on Tuesday.
- The Liberal Democrat manifesto is also likely to be published before the end of next week.
- Gordon Brown and former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott will be speaking at a campaign event in Kirkcaldy on Saturday morning
- Nicola Sturgeon will appear on the Andrew Marr Show and Peston on Sunday this weekend.
- The leaders debate – minus the two leaders who could actually become PM – is taking place on Thursday.
The long and short of it
This could have been a fatal week for Labour following the manifesto leak. But despite some initial negative coverage, to their credit, the document is heavy with policies. It will almost certainly outweigh the Tory manifesto published next week, which is anticipated to focus on May's core theme of strong and stable leadership.
If Labour's left-wing policies can shift the narrative away from one about leadership, to a debate over an optimistic versus pessimistic vision for Britain, a comeback is not impossible, albeit still highly improbable. With the UKIP vote collapsing and the Conservatives flooding Eurosceptic Labour marginals with resources, Theresa May is still on course to take 60 or so seats from Labour and increase the Tory majority significantly.

The Shiv Sena Movement: Its Organisation and Operation
PART Two
MOBILIZATION in the Shiv Sena involves every one from the highest party official to the lowest. When any situation arises which needs immediate discussion at various levels, a notice is published in the Marmik (the Shiv Sena mouthpiece) with the date, time and venue of the meeting. In the case of extreme urgency, however, the vibhag pramukhs are informed by cither Thackeray, or more often by a member of the karya karani. The vibhag pramukh then informs the corporators, the upa vibhag pramukhs, and shakha pramukhs, who in turn inform other members and visitors to the shakhas, going down to the level of the gala members.
For those who cannot be reached through telephone or who are not easily available, special messengers are sent by the shakhas. Announcements of the Shiv Sena programmes are communicated similarly, and the shakha members publicize them on blackboards which arc placed in important areas of the ward for the benefit of the general public as well as for other Shiv Sena activists. Sometimes the blackboards spell out an exhortation to the Shiv Sainiks explaining the need for a particular line of action, or an ethic which the Shiv Sena wants them to cultivate. The blackboards also give directions on how and where they should assemble before they proceed for a mass demonstration. The messages are written in bold ornate letters with different shades of chalk.

Who exactly were the Gnostic Christians, and what did they believe? You would be hard pressed to go into your local bookstore, iBooks or Kindle and find books on Gnostic Christianity. There just is not a raving passion for studying it. Only a handful of scholars keep the dream alive of Gnostic Christianity.
There is some discussion among scholars as to the position of Gnostic Christians in the early Church. Some, like Profs. Karen King and Elaine Pagels of Harvard and Princeton, respectively, put the Gnostics squarely in the Christian fold. Others, like Prof. James Voelz of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, postulate that they should not even rightly be called Christians. It is true that Gnostic philosophy had infiltrated some corners of the Church throughout the mid-1st and early 2nd centuries (the Apostles Paul and John deal with this Gnostic influence in some of their New Testament writings), but these Gnostic groups were never part of the mainstream Church in terms of numbers, leadership or influence. This may be in part because the apostles effectively checked their influence with their authority and teaching.
Gnosticism comes from the Greek word γνωσις (knowledge), and it is a philosophy that held two key ideals: 1. matter is evil and the spirit is good, and 2. God is infinitely divorced from the world. Gnosticism, therefore, fit easily within the framework of Greek philosophy and thought in the first and second centuries. These ideals, however, are both unbiblical.
Prof. James Voelz of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis believes Gnosticism is a merging of Platonism, Persian, Judaism and Christianity ideas. He also sees similarities between Gnosticism's secret-saving knowledge and its modern offshoots in Masonic Lodges and Mormonism. He rightly identifies Gnosticism not as a Christian heresy but as an completely different religion.
The Gnostic Christians believed Christians could and should receive a special knowledge to advance up the ladder of spirituality and salvation. This knowledge was something other and different from what was written in the books of the New Testament. This belief separated them from the rank and file Christians. In this sense, the Gnostic Christians were a type of Christian Masonic Lodge where one moved up the ladder by obtaining the secret knowledge known to those in the community who had received it directly from Jesus or by someone higher up than they in the community. It is easy to see why the early Church and her theologians fought against these Gnostic Christians, for they added to the accepted Scriptures. This is the history of all the sects and heresies: they add documents to the Bible that are put on par with, or above, Holy Scripture. As such, the Gnostic Christians had separated themselves from all the other churches by adding to the accepted canon of Scripture. In part, this is why the early Church began to put together an authoritative list of what books were Holy Scripture, and which were not. In 397, the Council of Carthage established the authorized canonical list to be the 27 books in what we currently have in the New Testament. Earlier theologians and bishops had lists (as early as 170), all of which basically agreed with the accepted list compiled in 397. None of their individual lists included any sort of Gnostic Christian writings. By the way, these canonical lists were based on the witness to the antiquity and apostolicity of the various canonical books, rather than decreeing that the canon contained certain books. Furthermore, the Gnostic Gospels were merely a collection of Jesus' sayings, wisdom and knowledge. They rarely mention or quote the Old Testament. There are no miracles in them, and they did not focus on Jesus' death and resurrection for the salvation of the world. Prof. King's papyrus fragment seems to fall into this type of literature. The Gnostic Christian texts were never seriously entertained by many Christians as legitimate representations of the faith. Although some, like Pagels and King believe and teach otherwise.
The Gnostics tried to merge their philosophy with Christianity. Where Judaism and Christianity emphasize the role of faith alone in salvation and the salvation of both body and soul, Gnostics taught that the soul's salvation depended on the individual possessing quasi-intuitive knowledge of the mysteries of the universe and of magic formulas. Gnosticism fundamentally rejected the Old Testament, its theology about the goodness of creation and especially the idea that all the nations would be blessed through Abraham and his faith. We see the beginnings of this clash between Judeo-Christian theology and classic Greek philosophy already in the Apostle Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians. In chapter 15 where he discusses the resurrection, Paul is dealing with the Gnostic aversion that the body would be resurrected and reunited with the soul. The Greeks only believed in an eternal soul that sheds off the body at death. They didn't care about a resurrection, because being rid of the corrupt body freed the pure soul. In Greek thought, a resurrection would be a step back, for the body imprisoned the soul and death released the soul. Paul teaches in this letter that Christianity is anchored in Christ's resurrection, and our own. Gnostic Christians found this, the central teaching of the Christian faith, to be distasteful.
There is no strong evidence to suggest that the Gnostic Christians vied with the orthodox from the beginning. The earliest discovered Gnostic Christian document is the Gospel of Thomas which appears about 130. This is well after the New Testament books were already recognized as authoritative and widely circulated, read and accepted as Scripture.
The Gospel of Thomas draws on most of these New Testament documents and adds some new ideas about Jesus and faith. All other major Gnostic Christian texts—like the Gospel of Truth, the Gospel of Philip, the Gospel of the Hebrews, the Gospel of Mary, and so on—are clearly written in the second and third centuries. This is well after the Christian Scriptures are collected and accepted as a canon of texts. These canonical lists were used to evaluate other Christian writings in light of those that were apostolic. Among the second-century lists of authoritative Scriptures, the Gnostic texts are never listed—not even by the unorthodox, Gnostic-leaning Marcion in 140. There was never a time when a wide selection of books, including Gnostic ones, were widely deemed acceptable in the Church.
In light of the fact that Gnosticism clashed with several important aspects of the Old and New Testaments, Gnostic "Christians" don't deserve to even be regarded as a legitimate development of the Christian faith, and therefore don't fall into the category of Christian sects, but as a completely new religion that is antithetical to Christianity. And yet, Profs. King and Pagels argue that they are a viable and important part in the life of the early Church. Prof. King even shies away from labeling the Gnostic Christians as heretics or even Gnostic. While studying Gnostic "Christianity" might be beneficial for learning about life in general in the 2nd and 3rd centuries in the Middle East, we are not going to learn anything about the early Church since the Gnostics were not a recognized part of the believers. No amount of essays, books and presentations by Profs. King and Pagels is going to change the course of history. It is not about the victors writing the history, but about Gnostic Christianity being a dog that simply won't hunt. The Church rejected the Gnostics. They survived for a few centuries as eccentrics here and there, but in the end their ideals and philosophy simply did not carry and win the debate or the day.

CANBERRA, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- Triple Olympic swimming champion Stephanie Rice of Australia will go under the surgeon's knife in Melbourne on Wednesday.
|Stephanie Rice of Australia celebrates on the podium
after the women's 200m individual medley swimming final
at the World Championships in Rome July 27, 2009.
(Xinhua/Reuters File Photo)
The operation is needed to fix the shoulder injury that ruled her out of the Delhi Commonwealth Games in India.
Rice announced tearfully during the Pan Pacific championships in California 10 days ago that she had succumbed to the long-standing bursitis in her shoulder and would be unable to compete in Delhi.
She returned to Australia with the national team last week and wasted no time booking the surgery so she can recover quickly and get back into training for next year's world titles in Shanghai and the London Olympics in 2012.
"She's still very down about missing Delhi, but I think she's hopeful that this will be the answer to her problems," Rice's coach, Michael Bohl told The Australian newspaper on Monday.
The swimmer has barely been able to train since April, when the shoulder inflammation flared.

Between July 2006 and the end of 2007, the government estimates that the Gulf of Mexico bottom longline fishery, which targets reef fish like grouper and tilefish, resulted in the capture of nearly 1,000 threatened and endangered sea turtles -- and that in more than 80% of these incidents, the turtles drowned or were injured! Loggerheads nesting on Florida beaches -- the same turtles captured in the Gulf of Mexico bottom longline fishery -- have plummeted by more than 40% over the last decade.
The bottom longline fishery has far exceeded the number of turtles it is allowed to take under the Endangered Species Act. Yet, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has refused to immediately close the fishery. NMFS proposal to allow the fishery to operate while it studies options for reducing the deaths of sea turtles is illegal and misguided.
Please sign our petition to save the lives of sea turtles today, and we will deliver your names and comments to the agency at the end of the month.
Thank you!

SAVANNAH - Charleston RiverDogs infielder Mike Ford's career-high and team-best 15-game on-base streak ended as Kevin McGowan pitched a personal-best seven scoreless innings in a 6-0 two-hit shutout for Savannah at Historic Grayson Stadium in South Atlantic League action on Monday night.
The Sand Gnats (29-14) scored two runs in each of the first three innings, including a two-run blast by Jorge Rivero in the second inning.
The RiverDogs (23-20) could only muster two hits against McGowan. Aaron Judge doubled off the right-field wall to open the fourth inning but was stranded after three straight outs.
Tyler Wade collected a leadoff single in the sixth and worked his way to third base before an inning-ending fly out.
McGowan (2-1) has not allowed an earned run in his last 251/3 innings.
The finale of the four-game series is set for Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. RiverDogs RHP Jaron Long (2-1, 2.59 ERA) is scheduled to face Sand Gnats RHP Ricky Knapp (2-2, 3.41 ERA).

Inca Music: El Condor Pasa Index
"El Condor Pasa" (see an example of
sheet music) is a typical Inca dance, based on authentic Incan folk
melodies. Around 1916, Peruvian composer Daniel Alomia Robles
notated this popular traditional melody and used it as the basis
for an instrumental suite. The English Lyrics, 'If I could, I
surely would' words, are by Paul Simon (Simon & Garfunkel)!
The Andean Condor is the world's largest bird
of prey that lives in the mountains, The adult height of
this enormous bird is four feet, and it has a wing span of 10
feet. It usually weighs between 20 to 25 pounds. The Andean
Condor's cousin is the California Condor.
"The Colla Indians and all those in
their district had a certain knowledge of music. They played
reed or cane instruments, made by joining four or five tubes
together, each one of which furnished a higher or lower note
than the preceding one, as in the case of organ pipes. There
existed four such instruments, each keyed to a higher or lower
scale, in the same way as the four human voices: soprano, tenor,
contralto, and bass.
When one Indian played, a second
answered him, shall we say, in fifths, then a third on another
harmony, and the fourth on still another, each one in time.
These were professional musicians, who practiced in order to
give concerts for the king and nobles of the Empire.
They also had flutes with four or
five holes, like those played by shepherds. But since these were
never played on in concerts, each player carved his own in his
own manner, according to what suited him best. With this flute
he accompanied his love songs, which recounted, in even meters,
the favors or disfavors of his ladylove.
In the year 1560, when I left Peru,
there were five Indians in Cuzco who played the flute so well
that they could interpret any piece of organ music you put
before them; and today, in 1562, I am told there still exists a
considerable number of excellent musicians." The Royal
Commentaries of the Inca, Garcilaso de la Vega, 1609. Book II.
Inca Garcilaso de la Vega
(1539-1616) Peruvian-born Spanish soldier, historian, and
translator. The son of an Inca princess, he vividly retold
Peruvian history and folklore in his Comentarios Reales
"Inca music often accompanied
ritualized religious dancing. Musicians used repetitive rhythms
and dissonant tones to induce an almost hypnotic state in the
dancers. Inca instruments were made of wood, reeds, pottery,
bone, shell, and metal. The Incas played two basic kinds of
instruments: wind and percussion. Wind instruments, such as
horns and flutes, produce a sound when a musician blows into a
tube or hollow chamber. Percussion instruments, such as bells or
drums, produce a sound when a musician strikes the instrument.
Drums and flutes were the most common instruments used by the
Incas. Flutes came in many varieties. The panpipe—a series of
cane or pottery flutes tuned to different notes and tied
together in a row—are still common in the Andes today." MSN
El Condor Pasa
A folk lyrics version from the
Quechua, the official language of the Inca Empire:
Oh mighty Condor owner of the
take me home, up into the Andes,
Oh mighty Condor.
I want go back to my native place to be
my Inca brothers,
that is what I miss the most, Oh mighty
Wait for me in Cuzco, in the main plaza,
so we can take a walk
in Machu Picchu and Huayna-Picchu
El Condor Pasa (If I Could)
Lyrics by Simon
& Garfunkel
I'd rather be a
sparrow than a snail.
Yes, I would.
If I could,
I surely would.
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.
Yes, I would.
If I only could,
I surely would.
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone.
A man gets tied up to the ground.
He gives the world
Its saddest sound,
Its saddest sound.
I'd rather be a forest than a street.
Yes, I would.
If I could,
I surely would.
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet.
Yes, I would.
If I only could,
I surely would.
El Condor Pasa (Si pudiera)
Letra de Simon &
Spanish version
Preferiría ser un
gorrión que un caracol.
Sí, lo haría.
Si pudiera,
Seguramente lo haría.
Preferiría ser un martillo que un clavo.
Sí, lo haría.
Si tan sólo pudiera,
Seguramente lo haría.
Lejos, preferiría navegar lejos
Como un cisne que está aquí y se fue.
Un hombre está amarrado a la tierra.
Le da al mundo
Su sonido más triste,
Su sonido más triste.
Preferiría ser un bosque que una calle.
Sí, lo haría.
Si pudiera,
Seguramente lo haría.
Preferiría sentir la tierra bajo mis pies.
Sí, lo haría.
Si tan sólo pudiera,
Seguramente lo haría.

Throughout the year, residents and faculty share in a number of social activities.
Welcoming Reception Each July, the Department hosts a welcoming reception for incoming residents and their significant others. Always well attended, this reception allows residents and faculty to get to know one another in a social atmosphere. Beach party - orientation and welcome bowling event.
Weekly Peer Meeting Residents meet weekly for one hour to discuss mutual concerns among themselves and with faculty. In addition, Department news, updates and information is shared. Each week, one class will spend part of the hour meeting with the Program Director (Dr. Certa) to discuss issues specific to that class. Weeks with all classes together.
Movie Nights Hosted by Dr. Salman Akhtar, of the Department of Psychiatry & Human Behavior, residents gather twice a year to view and discuss a film. The faculty selects each film with the goal of stimulating social, psychological, and other conversation in an open forum. Recent movie night examples include "Antoine Fisher" (which prompted discussion about how to create a therapeutic relationship with patients); and "Identify" (which sparked lively conversation about dissociative symptoms and disorders). "Good Will Hunting," "Ordinary People"
Resident Retreat The Department sponsors an annual two-day Retreat for residents in pleasant and relaxed surroundings. Planned by the residents, its purpose is to provide time for team-building exercises, review of the year's individual growth, and a comprehensive review of the program by residents, based on their reflection and discussions during the Retreat. A written report with resident recommendations is submitted to the Residency Director at the conclusion of the Retreat. During this two-day period clinical coverage is provided by faculty members.
Graduation Celebration It is Jefferson's tradition that residents take the lead in choosing the site and time for their graduation celebration. Typically, residents choose a graduation dinner although sometimes brunch celebrations have been preferred. Graduating residents and their families attend, along with a substantial number of lower-year residents and faculty. Jefferson's annual celebration includes the presentation of graduation certificates and annual awards.
Other Activities
Weekly Happy Hour after Didactics
Seasonal Bowling, softball, and other leagues
Benjamin Rush Ball for networking with psychiatrists in the community
Quarterly Housestaff parties at local venues that are rented out
Jefferson celebrates excellence through its tradition of honoring talent worthy of special recognition. Each year our faculty, residents and medical students participate in a process that determines the recipients of awards that memorialize outstanding contributions. Each year, the following eight awards are presented at our Graduation Celebration.
The Laughlin Award Sponsored by the Laughlin Family Foundation, this award honors outstanding residents in the psychiatric training programs of leading medical schools throughout the U.S. Jefferson presents the prestigious Laughlin Award to a graduating resident.
The Outpatient Resident Award In recognition of exemplary work with outpatient residents, Jefferson presents the Outpatient Resident Award to a PGY-3 or PGY-4 class member
The Inpatient Resident Award Recognizing the best overall performance during the first two years of residency, Jefferson presents the Inpatient Resident Award to a PGY-2 class member.
The Resident Teaching Award This award honors a resident teacher for outstanding contributions made to the education of medical students. In addition to educational sessions and events that residents design or participate in to teach students, student evaluations of resident teaching, compiled across all training years, are major determinants of the selectee.
The Daniel Lieberman Award Jefferson confers the Daniel Lieberman Award to the resident who has submitted the best original published or unpublished paper.
The Child Psychiatry Awards award recognizes the resident in the general adult program who has demonstrated the greatest proficiency in working with children and adolescents.
The Abraham Freedman Award In appreciation of the faculty member's dedicated commitment to excellence in residency training.
The Robert Waelder Award In honor of the faculty's member's distinguished service as a teacher in psychiatry.

"Women of the world… Women love peace to raise their children in, so, why don't you make peace your number one goal? I, as a Palestinian, know intimately that there are two kinds of peace; the first, peace which is built on the bodies of those brutalized and murdered to silence their call for their just rights; the second, a peace which comes from understanding a people's suffering, sitting down with them to genuinely solve and resolve their problems so that justice and equality can be the code of the land, not death and suffering.
This is the only peace.
Although we are at the end of the twentieth century, we only see a peace of the terror and destruction, peace through surrender, humiliation and elimination. Until when?? Why don't we, women, raise our voices high and strong in the service of true peace to preserve our children, our future, as human beings? As a Palestinian I ask you to support my call for true peace for my people, we are not subhuman, we are people with history and civilization. We are mothers and fathers and children. We have had enough killing and diaspora. I smuggled my dream in my hidden wishes and crossed the ocean in hope for peace; for my Palestinian sisters who lost their children in wars and have been widowed at an early age. I ask you for true peace for my people."
Feryal Abbasi-Ghnaim, Somerville, Massachusetts, June 28th 1985

- Length - 92 cm or 36 inch outer leg length
This fabric is a stretch woven and it has lots of stretch, so again, the pants won't need much ease. I've stuck with green because that's the thread colour on my sewing machine and overlocker. I also figured, I may as well build a couple of green pieces that I can wear for now. I'm not sewing for a future event, just a couple of pieces to wear now that it's cold. I'll be able to take these pieces with me to NZ in September/October when we take a few short trips because of the rugby. Rugby is in DH's blood, so these pieces might come with me. I can always add black when we're at the games.I've added a fly front panel behind the zipper.
The back was bulky so I've taken more fabric from the back leg, caused by this heavy/medium weight fabric. It's stiff and less ease will help.
I've taken more fullness out of the side seams, particularly the back leg pieces and cut this pant pattern out in a navy woven fabric that isn't as heavy. More news about this later.

Yet another header? Rather than extending HTTP until it tears at the seams, I think that we should rely more on Composite Capabilties/Preferences Profile (CC/PP). I admit that I've barely studied CC/PP, but it seems like a more comprehensive solution. How, for instance, can a user agent ask for particular mixtures of namespace while avoiding other mixtures?

Good news and bad news for fans of 'My Love From Another Star'
Jang Tae Yoo, the director of the extremely popular My Love From Another Star recently shared some surprising thoughts in an interview with Chinese media. It's a mixture of good news and bad news for the fans.
First, the good news is that Jang Tae Yoo has a lot of ideas for a sequel or even prequels. He says there are many stories that can be told about Do Min Joon's time during the Joseon dynasty era, the Japanese occupation, and even during the 1970s.
Jang gives a score of 9.5 out 10 for Kim Soo Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyun's performance. In his view, the two actors completely expressed their respective characters' unique charisma. Jeon Ji Hyun is already a bright and open person and she acted in character. Kim Soo Hyun delivered a mature performance that is far above his age.
He is pleasantly surprised by the fantastic reception that My Love From Another Star has received in China. He further says that he likes watching Chinese drama too, and there are things that Korean drama and Chinese drama can learn from each other. Chinese dramas excel in historical subjects and costumes, while Korean dramas excel in modern drama productions. He has already received some offers for joint collaboration from Chinese TV channels and looks forward to working together.
Now here is the bad news:
Because Jeon Ji Hyun has expressed her desire to take a break and enjoy her family life (have a baby?) and Kim Soo Hyun may have to start his military service, there is speculation that Do Min Joon and Cheon Song Yi will be played by other actors. (Oh no!!! I can already hear the fans screaming.) The director didn't confirm or deny this speculation. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

2012 feels old to me but it has already been fantastic. On my last day in Spain (Jan 6th) I managed to flash my first 8b. Traversia De Los Gliadores. This takes the obvious left to right diagonal break line starting up the grey rock in the back of the cave finishing in the top right of the pic.
A full 50m of pumpy climbing where it is possible to fall not far from the end. Even with my years as a boulderer it is routes like this that I really love. Once the fitness comes it is a fantastic feeling when you are able to recover in amazing positions. Hanging from a jug in the middle of this cave is one of those places. Going from being boxed out of you mind to ready to go again. I find my self leaving my climbing mind and just chilling, able to take in the surroundings, even have a conversation with people around you and take time to watch others climb. Love it.
With my already hectic year almost one month old I have some great news. Not one but two new sponsors. I have joined the family over at Boreal and after a few years of working with their kids club I have put pen to paper and become The Climbing Academy's first sponsored climber. They join DMM and Beta Climbing Designs for 2012.
So what does all this mean?
Well its great to be involved with Boreal as they are a Spanish company and obviously I like Spain. I can now actually go to the factory and work with them directly to give them feedback and work on prototyping. I call it the Boreal family as it is a family business. Jesus (the boss) is the man that Jerry refers to in his book Revelations. It is family owned and family run, a rare thing nowadays. Its always a better feeling and a better relationship when you are dealing direct with a company and not through a distributor. Thats not to say I didn't have a great time with 5.10 over the years and I certainly wish Big Stone all the best. Its amazing to join the likes of Yuji Hirayama, Danni Andrada and the UK's very own climbing couple Jordan and Naomi Buys.
The real reason I have switched to Boreal though is this.
Yuji Hirayama on Boreal - UKC/UKH at OutDoor 2011 from UKClimbing.com TV on Vimeo.
Zenith, the stickiest rubber from the company that brought sticky rubber to the world of climbing.
My association with The Climbing Academy has been growing ever since they opened and with their recent Glasgow project coming on line we both felt now is a good time to make some stronger links. Having worked with the Youth Squad since 2009 we are now also incorporating regular setting and coaching sessions.
In order to achieve my goals for 2012 TCA's sponsorship will allow me to set a little less when I am in the UK yet still work and earn a crust. I will be working closely with Paul Twomey in Bristol and Al Cassidy (Assistant Manager in Glasgow) to develop a training resource that hopefully will help all their customers to achieve their own goals.
I will be around at both centres from time to time to offer 1:1's or small group private coaching sessions and on a few occasions I will just be wandering around offering advice to anyone who might want some and even if you don't want it you will probably still get it. TCA will use their newsletter and blogs to keep peeps up to date with my progress through the season and to let you know more about the training resource as it develops.
Tomorrow I will be at TCA Bristol coaching the Youth Squad and hanging out with Mike from Boreal at their boot demo. On Sunday 29th I have two coaching sessions left, one from 2.45-4.15 and the last from 4.30-6.00. They cost £60 for a 1 to 1 or £80 for up to 4. You can book or find out more by calling TCA on 0117 9072956.
But, the real reason I have signed a deal with TCA is so that I can partake in their fantastic Cappucinos. Try them as a double....rocket fuel!!!
I will be hanging out with TCA on the following dates:
Jan 28 - Squad Coaching
Jan 29 - 1:1 Coaching. Book through TCA
May 26 - Open Coaching. Free for all.
May 27 - Squad Coaching
May 28 - Setting
June 15 - Setting
June 16 - Squad Coaching
June 17 - Open Coaching. Free for all
Feb 26 - 1:1 Coaching
Feb 27 - Setting
March 18 - Open Coaching. Free for all.
March 19 - Setting
You can also see where The UK Boreal boot demo tour will be stopping at here.
Happy climbing :-)

TED talks are always inspirational and this one by Mark Pagel is very close to my heart. It explains why language is vital to the development of the human race. Mark suggests that language is a piece of "social technology" that allowed early human tribes to access a powerful new tool: cooperation.
Make a cup of tea, sit back and spend a few minutes to watch the video and let the ideas flow around your brain.

About the Author
Michael MaloneMichael Malone is the literate and compassionate voice of the new American South. Critically acclaimed as one of the country's finest writers, his great gift for crafting remarkable and enduring comedies, as he did in Handling Sin, Dingley Falls and Foolscap, is matched only by his ability to deliver riveting suspense and mystery. Now, after a long absence, Michael Malone has returned to the scene of the crime. He has also come home to the South. He now lives in Hillsborough, North Carolina, with his wife, Maureen Quilligan, chair of the English department at Duke University.

In small towns between the North Carolina Piedmont and the coast the best scenery is often in the sky. On flat sweeps of red clay and scrub pine the days move monotonously, safely, but above, in the blink of an eye, dangerous clouds can boil out of all four corners of the sky and do away with the sun so fast that, in the sudden quiet, birds fly shrieking to shelter. The flat slow land starts to shiver and anything can happen.
In such a storm, on Annie Peregrine's seventh birthday, her father gave her the airplane and minutes later drove out of her life. When thunder scared her awake she found herself in their convertible, parked atop a hill near a barn. Off in the distance rose a large white house with a wide white porch. A white pebble road curved away behind the car, unreeling like ribbon on a spool. Annie looked past two rows of rounded black trees to where fields of yellow wheat spilled to the edge of the sky. Her father and she must have arrived at Pilgrim's Rest, the Peregrine family house in Emerald, North Carolina, toward which they'd been driving all day.
Sliding from their car, she saw him, slender and fast-moving, his white shirt shimmery, as he ran toward her out of the barn and across the dusky yard.
"Annie!" Reaching her, her father dropped to his knees and hugged her so fiercely that her heart sped. "I'm in trouble. I've got to leave you here a little while with Aunt Sam and Clark. Okay?"
She couldn't speak, could only shake her head. How often had he told her that the house where he had grown up, that Pilgrim's Rest had been for him a pit of snakes, a cage of tigers? He kept nodding to make her nod too. "Okay? I'll be back. Just hang onto your hat." Pulling a pink baseball cap from his pocket, he snuggled it down onto her head. Colored glass beads spelled ANNIE above its brim; a few beads were missing, breaks in the letters.
Across the driveway a tall woman with short thick hair banged open the large doors of the barn. She called out to Annie's father. "Jack? Jack! Jack! Jack!"
Annie's father turned her around to face the woman but kept talking with that nodding intensity that always meant they would need to move fast. "See my sister Sam over there? I told you how nice she is." The sound of sharp thunder flung the child back into the man's arms. "So's Clark. They'll take care of you. I'll call you. Remember, you're a flyer." He yanked her small hard blue suitcase out of the convertible, dropping it onto the gravel beside her. "Give Sam the cash."
"Stop it. Where are you going!"
"Annie, I know. It's rotten." A drop of rain fell on his face like a fat fake tear. Drops splattered on the suitcase's shiny clasps. "Go look in the barn. There's a present for you. 'Sorry, no silver cup.' " She kicked him as hard as she could. And then she kicked over the blue suitcase. "I want to go with you," she said. "You!" But before she could stop him, her father had run to their car and was driving away.
She raced after the Mustang, down the pebble road between the dark rows of large oak trees. It was hard to make her voice work loudly but finally it flamed up her throat and she could shout at him to come back. She was already crying, already knowing she couldn't run fast enough.
Behind her, the tall woman named Sam kept calling, "Jack! Jack!"
Annie echoed her, hoping it would help. "Dad! Dad!" The convertible braked to a skidding stop, her father twisting around in the seat to call out, "Your birthday present's in the barn, go look in the barn! Annie! Don't forget. You're a flyer!"
She screamed as loudly as she could, "You stop!"
The wind caught his scarf as he sped off; it flew into the air behind him. Then he was gone and the green silk scarf lay coiled near her feet. She ground it into the pebbled road with her small leather cowboy boots; they were as green as the scarf and stitched with lariats. She had wanted these boots so badly that only a week ago her father had turned their car around, drove them back fifty miles to some small town in the middle of a flat state; he took her to the store where she'd seen the boots in the window and he bought them for her. "Never wait to say what you want," he told her. "It's no fun to go back. And sometimes you can't."
But now she'd said what she wanted and he'd left her anyhow. Dust and rain stung Annie's eyes shut and the world turned black. The tall woman's voice was calling again.
"Annie! Annie!"
Furious, the child flung herself into the gully beside the road, tumbling down a tangle of vines and underbrush; she lay there in the rain, hiding from the woman Sam until her voice, solicitous and worried, passed by, still shouting, "Annie! Annie!" After a while, the woman's voice faded and there were no sounds but the hard wind and rain. Annie decided to walk along the road in the direction her father had gone. Maybe he would stop for gas or food and she would find him again.
But suddenly her pink baseball cap blew off, whisking over the bank. She chased the cap onto a path that wound up to a hilltop, where it caught against a pair of closed white wooden gates. On a post beside these gates there hung a wood sign with painted letters. It said, "Pilgrim's Rest, 1859." And above that, "Peregrines" was carved in the wings of a wood hawk flying. She undid the heavy iron latch of the gates and pushed her way through the opening.
In the yard, gusty stinging rain and wind slapped at her, shoving her against the front of the barn. Its immense gray weathered doors blew suddenly apart as if she had knocked on them in a fairy tale and some invisible sorcerer with power over the elements had ordered the wind to sweep her inside.
The barn was an enormous dark empty space, with high rafters and a sweet strong smell. Outside, the storm was close and noisy, but the barn was quiet. Annie walked into the middle of the shadowy space. There, alone, sat an old airplane. It was a fixed-wing single-engine plane, a Piper Warrior painted cherry red with blazing yellow stripes and a silver propeller on its black nose. The door to its cockpit was swung open. From the seat the beam of a large red battery lantern was shining on the plane so clearly she could see the fresh footprints of her father's shoes in the thick dust on the wing. She ran over to the plane, crawled behind its wheel cap and beat her head against her knees in a shout of grief so hopeless that the noise she made scared her. She cried until she heard an unfamiliar man's voice call her name, "Annie." Quickly she bit at the cloth on her knee, quiet, listening. The voice moved away.
Above her, beneath the airplane's low curved wing, she could make out spiraling green letters curled like a dragon's tail, spelling the words, King of the Sky.
While they'd traveled on highways together, her father had told her about his old airplane, the King, how he and she could have been moving much faster back and forth across America if they'd only had the use of the King of the Sky, how the plane was "just sitting there in the barn" at his childhood home Pilgrim's Rest, in a town called Emerald. He'd told her that someday they'd go get the King and they'd fly it all over the country. Annie had never much believed such a plane existed, any more than the lost treasures and magic elixirs and prison tunnels he'd also described.
Now she hugged the King of the Sky's wheel with both arms and legs. "I'm a flyer," she said. "A flyer. A flyer."

Andrew Writes About Ponies For Paper Magazine
Andrew recently wrote an article about My Little Pony culture called "Pony Up" for Paper Magazine. Enjoy the full article below!
Andrew will be doing a special lecture about Pinkie Pie and partying at the 2012 My Little Pony convention on Friday, September 28th, 2012. Click here for more information.
Ponies are amazing and special creatures. They're strong and stocky beasts with hearts of gold. They have flowing manes, lush tails and thick dusty coats of the fluffiest fur.
I've always loved ponies, and like many children, I once dreamed of owning my own pet pony. The closest I could get to realizing this dream was visiting petting zoos and playing with My Little Pony toys. As you can imagine, I was teased mercilessly by many of my friends -- and even their parents -- who said that ponies were only for girls and that I was too old to play with toys like that.
In the years since then, pony-loving men are finally getting a chance to publicly enjoy these toys. A new animated TV show, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, which airs on The Hub, has reignited the passion of pony fans everywhere and created a population of males who call themselves "Bronies"; men who have proudly found joy in these innocent baby horses. The time, effort, and dedication these men have put into their love for this new TV show has surprised everyone -- even the creators of the series.
The Brony phenomenon has become so huge that there are now fan conventions -- like BronyCon, which attracted 4,000 Bronies to the Meadowlands Exposition Center in New Jersey this past summer -- a super-popular website Equestria Daily, and various other related organizations promoting and supporting My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I was even invited to attend one of the biggest Brony gatherings, "Canterlot Gardens," taking place this month in Ohio.
But publicly declaring one's love for small horses has not come without a price. Not only do some people still not like ponies, but some of these people seem especially upset by the idea of other people liking ponies, especially when those other people are adult men. When I was in elementary school, I had a female friend who liked to play with action figures and toy soldiers. People gave her a really hard time. This seems no different. I think everyone should be able to like ponies. If it brings them joy, what's the harm?
In Ohio, I'll be giving a lecture on the happiness, fun, and party spirit of life, which goes hand in hoof with the themes of Friendship Is Magic, and one of the pony characters in particular, Pinkie Pie. This pony is the most party of all ponies, and I've learned a lot from her and the way she approaches life. Most of all, I'm very happy that society is slowly moving past gender and age restrictions when it comes to entertainment and fun. Boys should be able to play with dolls. Girls should be able to play with toy soldiers. And adults should be able to play in general. Far too often, grown-ups are encouraged to separate themselves from their urge to play and use their imagination. I think this is a crime against the human spirit and slowly rots the adult soul. It's crucial that we all stay close to joy, and if ponies give that joy to people, let them have it. Joy is part of what makes a human being a fully realized person.
It's amazing that a cartoon show about small horses can teach us how to be real men.

Magid National Study Finds Smartphones And Tablets Firmly Established As Mainstream Devices And Growing Rapidly; Android Approaching Majority On Both Platforms
Tablets rapidly usurping the pc in most key activities, including online video
Jul 31, 2012, 10:00 ET
NEW YORK, July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- 58% of American consumers now use smartphones (76% among those under age 44), tablet usage has grown from 0 to 34% in two years, and both types of devices will continue to show strong growth through 2013, according to the June 2012 Mobile Content Study conducted by Frank N. Magid Associates, Inc. By mid 2013, the smartphone audience will increase 53% from 99 million to 151 million users, and the tablet audiences will more than double, from 51 million to 106 million users, fueling the demand for even more mobile-optimized content.
This nationally representative annual consumer survey, which provides a large-scale look at key mobile trends, behaviors and activities that drive the market, shows that Americans have already shifted to the mobile platform to consume a wide array of content including social media, gaming, and video – including full length TV shows and movies. "There's no such thing as distinct mobile content anymore," said Tom Godfrey, Magid's Executive Director of Mobile Strategy, "what publishers and advertisers have to realize is that most content going forward will be consumed on a mobile device and that it must be accessible and optimized for that platform."
In terms of operating systems, Android has extended its lead on the smartphone platform – 48% to 32% over iPhone – and is rapidly encroaching on the iPad in the Tablet arena as well. The iPad now makes up only 50% of the installed tablet base, down from 72% in 2011. Among consumers planning to purchase mobile devices in the next 12 months, 51% and 75% are already tablet and smartphone owners, respectively, which demonstrates consumers' desire to own the latest devices.
About the study: Magid surveyed a nationally representative sample of 4,734 cell or smartphone owners ages 12-64. Data was collected between May 26 – June 1, 2012. Magid has tracked key mobile trends, behaviors, and activities since 2009 and the study provides access to key longitudinal data related to mobile content and consumer behaviors. The fee for this report is $6,500.
Frank N. Magid Associates, Inc. is a leading research-based consulting firm that has been studying the evolving media landscape and its impact on consumer behavior for 55 years. Magid has extensive cable and broadcast television, online video, and mobile video practices, and works on content and marketing strategies with leading broadcast and cable networks, MSOs, television manufacturers, video content providers, mobile device manufacturers and wireless carriers. We serve our clients through offices in Minneapolis, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta and Marion, Iowa.

Rules by Cynthia Lord
Frustrated at life with an autistic brother, twelve-year-old Catherine longs for a normal existence but her world is further complicated by a friendship with a young paraplegic. (catalog summary)
If you like sometimes funny, sometimes serious books with brother-sister themes, check out these titles:
Cheating for the Chicken Man by Priscilla Cummings
High school freshman Kate has a lot on her mind, what with taking care of her heartbroken mother and looking after the family chicken farm in Maryland, but she promised her dying father to look after her older brother who is just back from juvenile detention—and this year that seems to involve paying off the bullies at school by doing their school work. (catalog summary)
Counting Thyme by Melanie Conklin
Thyme Owens moves across the country with her family so her younger brother can take part in a promising cancer drug trial, and though all she wants is for him to get better, adjusting to life in Manhattan is anything but easy. (catalog summary)
"My dad works at an advertising agency and my mom anchors the local evening news. They are both very good-looking for old people, and I'm not being arrogant but just stating a fact when I say I inherited the best from both of them." – Ashley, We Are All Made of Molecules
Ashley is the best-looking and most popular person in high school. Stewart, not so much. Stewart is a certifiable genius. Ashley? Well, let's just say she's a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
Imagine a future where teens rent their bodies to senior citizens who want to relive the moments of their youth. In Starters by Lissa Price, this is exactly what happens. A genocide spore killed everyone who wasn't vaccinated in time. Left behind are the very young and the very old. Many children are left without parents or caretakers. They must survive in an unfriendly world where they are viewed as unattended minors and are forced to resort to any means possible in order to survive. If a teen agrees to rent out their body to a senior, they are paid a substantial sum of money. It is very enticing to a starving and homeless teenager.

Quick Reference
A rule, formerly of central importance, requiring that a party must call the best evidence that the nature of the case will allow. At common law an aspect of the best evidence rule required a party relying on the contents of a document at trial to produce the original document. This aspect of the rule is now of diminished importance, although under the Civil Procedure Rules original documents should be made available for inspection by the other parties before the hearing and by the judge at the hearing.

Happy Monday! I've got a finished summer sweater to show off!
Here's my Saco Stripes and CustomFit mashup tank, knit from Quince and Co. Sparrow. After my last post, I finally got down to business and wove in those pesky ends. For those who have asked, yes, I did carry the main color up the sides! But I didn't want to carry the contrast for 6 rows, and thus got myself into the mess of having many, many ends to weave.
I'm quite taken with the linen, which makes a more opaque fabric than I was expecting, and feels soft in a way that is very different than wool. I don't have much experience with non-wool fibers, but I was able to get a very consistent gauge in Sparrow, and the resulting sweater is so light and swingy.
You can't quite tell in these photos (and that's on purpose!), but the tank is quite long on me — it hits just about at my widest point, also known as my booty. As Amy has taught us, this isn't the most flattering choice for a bottom-heavy figure such as mine. It's not a gauge problem — the tank is exactly as long as the pattern said it would be — but I do think I need to re-evaluate my CustomFit measurements and move my low-hip up a bit. It's been a learning process for me to see where exactly I like sweaters to end, and I'm enjoying every bit of it!
It's a toss-up at this point whether I'll use TECHknitter's method to remove some of the length. I'll likely wear the tank as-is, but I know it would be more flattering if it were just a few inches shorter. If it were you, what would you do?
Here's a link to my Ravelry project if you'd like to see some more photos!
When I tallied the votes in my sweater poll on Friday, Effervescent won by one single vote! I've swatched, blocked and measured, now just need to generate my pattern. So far, I loved swatching the inventive stitch pattern on the fronts — I'm very impressed with the designer, as I never would have thought of it! I've yet to finish a CustomFit cardigan (though who can forget the one I struggled through during Cardipalooza?), but I think this will be the one!
Do you think I can finish before #sskal ends? I've got a bit under a month, but no stripey ends to weave in this time, so that's on my side!

Lana Del Rey Covers 'British Vogue' March 2012
Lana Del Rey graces the cover of British Vogue's March issue.
The 25-year-old singer wore Louis Vuitton for the shoot, which she worked on with famed fashion photographer Mario Testino.
Lana recently sat down with UK's Magic 105.4 and shared her fashion and music inspiration comes from what some may consider an unexpected source.
"I'm not really interested in a ton of female musicians but there is something about Britney [Spears] that compelled me – the way she sings and just the way she looks," Lana explained.
Lana also chatted with Rolling Stone about her much-buzzed about Saturday Night Live performance.
"I actually felt good about it. I thought I looked beautiful and sang fine … There's backlash about everything I do. It's nothing new. When I walk outside, people have something to say about it. It wouldn't have mattered if I was absolutely excellent," she told the music mag.
