Thanks to the efforts of Access Services Librarian Jo Anne Edwards, the JSC library launched its redesigned Facebook as the fall semester got under way. Informed by focus groups representing a broad range of library constituents, the results can be found here.
While JSC's reference librarians have a long track record of serving as embedded librarians in online courses, Linda Kramer is piloting the service in one of our campus-based first-year seminars, "A Call to Action." She reports that students have responded very positively to her inquiry-based approach to information literacy instruction.
Ray Brior organized a book sale for Fall Fest weekend in September. In addition to selling duplicate and discarded items from the library's collection, Ray discussed current library initiatives with former students and their families.
Faculty librarian Joe Farara is the new president of the Vermont Consortium of academic libraries. He's also serving as the Vermont State Colleges' representative to the Vermont online library selection committee.
The JSC library was featured in a front-page article on area libraries in the October 26, 2009 edition of The Transcript, a weekly newspaper delivered to every mailbox in Lamoille County.
Linda Kramer brought visiting Fulbright scholar Zaharom ("Rom") Nain to the attention of Mary West of the Centennial Library for Morristown's series on Islam. Rom led a lively discussion at Centennial Library on October 21, 2009. Linda also has been meeting with the Archives Committee of the JSC Alumni Association to assist with a research project. The committee, headed by Emeritus Professor Alice Whiting, is creating a checklist of buildings and historical treasures of the college. Each entry details the location, the date and background information for identifying named spaces, art works, and notable collections on campus. The annotated inventory expands upon sections of Ken Raymond's 1984 publication, The History of Johnson State College, and will be available in print and on the JSC Web site.
As part of his duties as Technical Services Librarian, Ray Brior has been working closely with Faculty Librarian Joe Farara on collection development. In addition to selecting new material for the collection, they continue to evaluate library materials for currency and curricular relevance. Ray also reports that the library's steady stream of donations remains unabated.

"America's future is linked to the future of the Asia Pacific region,
and the future of this region depends on America,"
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, January 2010
With its strong U.S. military presence and isolation, Hawaii is strategically located to lead in cyber security as a gateway to communications between the Asia Pacific region and Western United States.
Responding to current and evolving cybersecurity challenges, Referentia Systems opened its new Cyber Collaboration Center (CCC) in Honolulu Hawaii in 2011. The 25,000-square foot facility was established to enable security experts from government, academia and industry to collaborate on critical cybersecurity concerns threatening our nation's networks and IT modernization.
The CCC serves as an operational testbed for the Department of Defense, alternative energy, the smart grid and utilities. The Center's initiatives include developing effective solutions for cybersecurity, interoperability operations and critical infrastructure and innovations based on critical gaps from the operational community. Staffed by cybersecurity experts, computer scientists, programmers and network engineers, the CCC offers a dynamic open-space work environment that encourages collaborative research across disciplines. Teams work on building block technologies used to construct highly adaptive architectures and advanced cybersecurity solutions for seamless and secure interoperability, secure agile virtual enclaves and network infrastructure command and control.
In the community, the CCC serves as a gathering place for educators, students and industry mentors to advance interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in our schools and help ensure a well-trained and economically competitive workforce in Hawaii and foster the next generation of national security professionals.

A Tibetan mother of four killed herself by self-immolation on Sunday to protest Chinese rule, according to a report on Monday by Radio Free Asia, which is financed by the United States government. The report said Kalkyi, 30, set fire to herself near a monastery in the county of Dzamthang in Ngaba Prefecture, which has been a focal point of the wave of Tibetan self-immolations that began in 2009. At least 110 people in Tibetan regions of China have set fire to themselves, and the vast majority have died. Ms. Kalkyi's self-immolation took place around 3:30 p.m. Sunday, and her body was taken by locals to the Jonang monastery, according to Radio Free Asia, which cited sources inside Tibet. Ms. Kalkyi had three sons and one daughter, all under the age of 15. Radio Free Asia said that Ms. Kalkyi was the 16th woman to self-immolate since 2009. On March 13, a woman, Konchog Wangmo, 31, killed herself by self-immolation in Ngaba Prefecture, and her husband, Drolma Kyab, was later detained by the authorities, the news service reported.Continue reading the main story

Sustainable forest management combines planning and management with professional advice.
Fred Clark, president of Clark Forestry in Baraboo and a consulting forester certified through the Forest Stewardship Council's SmartWood program, takes sustainable forest management one step further. He supports certification as a way to show long-term commitment to land management.
Because SmartWood certifies him, Clark may extend certification to property owners if they wish.
"For certification the client signs an agreement and follows the plan I have set," Clark says. "Any timber off the property, then, could go through a chain-of-custody process and carry the SmartWood label eventually winding up on the shelves of a retail outlet like The Home Depot."
To become certified, SmartWood evaluated Clark's operation, management plans and documentation. They interviewed him and his clients.
One of Clark's recent projects? Developing and implementing a management plan for 400 woodland acres on the Taliesin property in Spring Green, the former estate of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Clark and his crew begin by "cruising," conducting an on-ground evaluation of the forest and its current and historical management. Clark measures and ages trees, notes vegetation and wildlife habitat, cites exotic species, records "snag" trees (standing dead trees of no economic value, that may house wildlife) and interviews the landowners about their goals for the property.
Clark also reviews maps and DNR aerial photos of the forest area and gets his arms around a lot of trees as he takes measurements.
"I try to get an idea for what kinds of wildlife a property is able to support and note things like eagle nests," he says.
Clark will visit a property throughout the seasons.
Walking into a stand of white pine seedlings, he gets an idea. This stand might be groomed for wildlife habitat and high quality timber by using selection harvesting. In another area he'd recommend prescribed burning to bring back prairie that was native to the area and will aid fire-dependent tree species like oak.
"These woods can continue to be a forest, but if we want to return the stand to a historic prairie, we might try to turn back the clock and open the canopy," Clark says of the Taliesin estate.
While some foresters think certifying woods will provide a premium for wood prices that will filter back to the landowner, Clark says he's not seeing that yet.
"It's still a niche market and financial gain is almost a secondary concern for us," Clark says. "We are certified because it is good for the resource and because our clients are interested in sustainable management and good land stewardship."
It can take six months or more to complete a management plan before harvesting can occur.
In many cases, a logging contract is drawn up between landowner and wood purchaser to specify which trees will be removed and in what way. Clark helps the landowner decide on logging techniques that range from clear-cutting to seed tree harvesting, thinning, selection harvesting and salvage harvesting. Different harvesting methods create different conditions.
"The neat part of my job," Clark says, "is to see the property get managed after all the work that goes into the planning. If we do it right, hopefully more people will become attached to their land and maybe decide to keep the land from being sold and developed."

Henkel introduces new, activity-based workspace in Indonesia
Henkel Indonesia has moved into a new head office at the Nissi Bintaro Campus building in South Tangerang in Jakarta.
The new headquarters has been designed to foster an agile organisation through the implementation of an open office concept with modern facilities.
This includes flexible seating arrangements to encourage greater communication across the organisation. There are also a variety of formal rooms and informal spaces to cater to different activities. In total, there are six meeting rooms, one video conference room, four focus rooms, four phone booths, three collaboration areas, one prayer room, a nursing room, and pantry.
In the office, all chairs come with ergonomic features to promote good posture and spine health.
Through these features, Henkel hopes to energise and empower teams, and strengthen the company's One Henkel spirit by enhancing collaboration and promoting an entrepreneurial culture.
"Moving to Bintaro marks a new phase of growth for Henkel in Indonesia, and reinforces our long-term commitment to create sustainable value for our employees, our customers, other stakeholders and the local communities," says Lucky Lee, President of Henkel Indonesia.
Established in 1974, Henkel has been present in Indonesia for 43 years and holds a leading position in the adhesives business. Besides its head office in Bintaro, Henkel Indonesia operates two adhesives plants in Tangerang and Pasuruan. The company serves a wide variety of industries, such as automotive, consumer, furniture, food and beverage, packaging, shoes and general industries.
Bintaro represents a strategic location for Henkel to be closer to its customers that are situated in Tangerang in the West, Jakarta in the North, and Bekasi and Karawang in the East where many industrial zones are based.

Green Building
The Center first started as a high performance building project. At the time it was built, the Solar Demonstration House was one of only a few buildings of its type in the United States. The initial research begun here and at other sites across the country has assisted the building industry in pushing well beyond the boundaries of this initial project.
Still, much has not changed. Buildings that are well oriented to their site, well insulated, naturally lit and of durable construction will always be relevant.
The Center assists in executing other third party verification programs, including ENERGY STAR® and the LEED for Homes®. The Center also administers the N.C. Green Professionals Directory.

"From July to December 1959, Paul Bowles crisscrossed Morocco making recordings of traditional music under the auspices of the Library of Congress. Although the trip occupied less than six months in a long and busy career, it was the culmination of Bowles's longstanding interest in North African music. The resulting collection remained a musical touchstone for the rest of his life and an important part of his mythology. "The pieces with the greatest, and those with the smallest amount, of Arabic influence, are both to be found, strangely enough, in the same country: Morocco. This region's contact with Europe has been that of conqueror: in its decline it has been comparatively unmolested by industrial Europe. By virtue of this, also because it once had colonies in Mauritania and Senegal, and thus has a fair amount of admixture of Negro culture, it is richer in musical variety and interest than Algeria and Tunisia. In the latter countries there is plenty of music, but in Moroccomusic is inescapable."-Paul Bowles

So for our Blairgowrie trip last year one of my knitting projects was this tea cosy.
I made it holding 2 strands together, one of some generic mustard acrylic and one of my first batch of handpsun alpaca. Frankly the handspun was pretty crappy but it was one of the first BIG lots of spinning that I had ever done so it taught me a lot about technique. In fact when I ran out early and had to whip up some more, the new batch was so much nicer that there was actually a visible texture change in the tea cosy towards the top haha.
You can really see the difference in my skill level from above to below!
Luckily knitting will hide all manner of spinning mistakes so when it was all done it actually didn't look half bad!
I did highly regret trying to do this on straight wooden needles that were not long enough and really not big enough. I was so worried about snapping one of them the whole time and this is really what pushed me into getting a nice carbon circular set!

Drug Situation: Methamphetamine,
which is produced in Mexico and the Southwest United States, and is locally
produced, remains the principal drug of concern in the State of Oklahoma and
the principal drug of choice among those seeking drug addiction treatment.
Cocaine, particularly crack cocaine, is a significant problem in the urban
areas of the state. Oklahoma also serves as a transshipment point for drugs
being transported to the eastern United States via Interstates 40 and 44 that
intersect the state. Interstate 35 also provides a critical north-south
transportation avenue for drug traffickers.
Cocaine continues to be readily available throughout Oklahoma. The cocaine is
transported from Texas and Mexico via commercial airlines and motor vehicles.
Mexican polydrug traffickers dealing in marijuana and methamphetamine bring
some of the cocaine into the state. Much of the cocaine HCl is converted into
crack cocaine for sale at the retail level. Crack is the drug of choice for a
significant number of those entering drug rehab centers. Cocaine is distributed
primarily by Mexican and African American traffickers. The majority of the
cocaine purchased in the Oklahoma City area is transported in by local
suppliers who travel to large cities in Texas and return to distribute the
Black Tar heroin is available in limited quantities near the metropolitan areas
in Oklahoma. It is rare to encounter brown or white heroin, though in rare
instances, white heroin from Colombia has been seen. Demand for
heroin has declined in recent years although it is still the drug of choice for
many entering addiction treatment centers. The majority of heroin traffickers
in Oklahoma receive their heroin from Mexico. Most of the heroin transported
into Oklahoma is concealed in hidden compartments in passenger vehicles.
Methamphetamine: Methamphetamine is the primary drug
of choice in Oklahoma by a great number of addicted individuals seeking drug
addiction treatment. Caucasian males and females are equally the primary users.
Most of the methamphetamine in the state is brought in by Hispanic
organizations via motor vehicles, commercial airlines, and mail delivery
services. Local, small mom and pop laboratories continue to be a
significant problem throughout Oklahoma. About 30% of local laboratories use
the Nazi method and produce only ounce quantities or less at a
time. Two super labs, capable of producing 20-40 pounds of
methamphetamine at a time, were seized over the last two years.
Drugs: The state of Oklahoma is seeing an increase in the abuse of
club drugs, such as MDMA and GHB. MDMA is found at rave parties in
eastern and central Oklahoma. The amount of MDMA seized in Oklahoma and
analyzed by DEA laboratories increased from 6 dosage units in CY2000 to 2,657
dosage units in CY2001. The majority of the MDMA found in Oklahoma comes from
the West Coast, Nevada and Texas. A small number of seizures have involved MDMA
originating in Canada.
Marijuana: Marijuana is readily available
in all areas of Oklahoma, and is the main illegal drug of abuse in the state.
Marijuana imported from Mexico is prevalent and is usually imported in
combination with other illegal drugs being transported to Oklahoma and other
states north and east. It is usually reported to be used in conjunction with
other drugs by those entering drug rehab centers. The majority of the marijuana
is smuggled from the southwest border via passenger vehicle and occasionally in
freight vehicles. Mexican Sensimilla, usually found in
pressed/brick form, is the most common type of marijuana seen in Oklahoma,
particularly in urban areas. Domestically produced marijuana is also available
in Oklahoma, though not as readily in recent years. Oklahoma, along with
several other southern states, has endured severe drought conditions over the
past three years, affecting the local production of marijuana. Marijuana
Legislation: In April 2002, a law permitting enforcement officials to spray
wild marijuana with glyphosate (Round Up) was passed despite controversy about
health concerns for local farm animals and crops. For the past several years,
there have been attempts to introduce legislation regarding the medicinal use
of marijuana and the production of hemp. The legislation has always failed to
make it out of committee.
Other Drugs: The most popular pharmaceutical
substances abused in Oklahoma are Vicodin, Lortab, propoxyphene, alprazolam,
hydrocodone, Ultram, diazepam, Hycodan, Demerol, Dilaudid, and Percodan. Much
of the diversion is through fraudulent prescriptions, doctor shopping, pharmacy
break-ins, and hospital thefts. OxyContin is also increasing as a
pharmaceutical drug of abuse in Oklahoma and its being named a drug of choice
by addicted individuals upon entry to addiction treatment centers is on the
DEA Mobile Enforcement Teams:
This cooperative program
with state and local law enforcement counterparts was conceived in 1995 in
response to the overwhelming problem of drug-related violent crime in towns and
cities across the nation. There have been 359 deployments completed resulting
in over 14,456 arrests of violent drug criminals as of April 1,

These vegan bites are a perfect guilt-free after dinner or in-between meal snack. They are incredibly easy to make – all you need is a few ingredients, a food processor and a fridge.
The main ingredients used in raw vegan desserts are similar across many different recipes, what you can generally change is the flavour and shape in order to mimic your favourite dairy or junk food dessert. Dates act as the binding agent, and with their sweet yet compliant flavour, they can be mixed with a variety of flavours and make a gorgeously guilt free treat!
This week, I raided the cupboards and come up with a protein bite recipe that will appeal to all of you who cannot resist peanut butter (I know I can't), and when presented in cupcake cases, they're so cute and would make a great homemade gift or accompaniment to a dinner party or picnic.
3 large organic Medjool dates (split in half and remove the seed)
3 tablespoons organic palm oil free peanut butter
60g cashew nuts (soaked in water for at least an hour for extra creamy taste)
30g desiccated coconut (split in half)
1 tablespoon of Sweet Freedom fruit syrup or maple syrup
- Blend all ingredients (except half the desiccated coconut) together in a food processor to make a thick paste like consistency.
- Roll into balls and then roll them into the remaining coconut to get that outside colour and texture.
- Place into cupcake cases, and then into the fridge for a few hours to set completely.
I hope you enjoy these delicious raw vegan protein bites! I gave them to friends and family (none of whom are vegan) and they absolutely adored them!
Like it? Pin it!

A clue to the time of the Great Tribulation is in the Bible . Have you noticed how much ISRAEL is the heart beat of the world . This next war is most likely going to have a time stamp in that in the bible Zachariah 14 verse 12 describes a plague poured out on those that comes against Israel that has no other explanation but Nuclear Bombs being used . That pretty much says that chapter is speaking of present times .

Ok, this is my first thread, so bear with me, I'm at work and needed to get this down, so will edit it further when I have more time.
I've seen a lot of threads on here regarding the 'Mark of the Beast' and it's connection to the NWO or aliens, usually in the sense of an RFID chip or some alien technology. I have a theory (more like an idea as I have no proof) that is along these lines, but with a slightly differnet slant.
In phase one (control), the NWO will hoax an alien invasion of Earth (not much of a source). Why they would do this is simple, fear. The plan is to create such panic within the populations of Earth that the people will come to accept any and all restrictions placed on them in order to counter this threat.
This invasion will not be overly large, it will be a scouting force, and we will defeat it, but there will be a larger fleet 'on the way'. This will be used to bring all the nations together under the flag of the UN, who (IMO) have the resources in place to handle this situation.
Now, these aliens WILL be human in appearance or have the ability to take on human form. They must be like this for phase two (dependance) of the plan to be put into action. How do we determine who is alien and who is human? We process everyone. The people will be rounded up through a system of internment (FEMA camps?) to determine who is human. We will then be given a 'mark' or 'chip' to prove this, which (as stated in the bible) will be readily accepted by the majority of people on Earth. This is how we will get the 'Mark of the Beast ' (wiki).
I'm not sure of how phase 3 (population reduction) will take place, but it would seem that the alien invasion fleet would be used to destroy major population centres worldwide in a co-ordinated strike before we humans eventually destroy them. This could happen quickly, or be a long drawn out exercise.
I expect that religion and prophesy shall also play a large role in these plans, but I'm not sure, as yet, in what context.
I'm sorry if this is rushed and somewhat erratic, but would appreciate any input and/or criticisms.edit on 28-8-2012 by DaesDaemar because: source addededit on 29-8-2012 by DaesDaemar because: wiki added

I'm sensing sarcasm From what I understand, the 'Mark of the Beast' is said to be on the right hand and forehead, so unsure how facebook does this. I could be wrong...
It is. Your face and your hand(print). This is the mark of the beast. Biometric face and hand scans. The prophecy was expressed as a vision. Understand that a man from the age the book was written was describing the vision. He witnessed transactions being made by something identifying and authorization people by transmitting information from their hand and or "forehead"/face. No chip needed. Satan uses the misunderstanding to acclimate those who are waiting for a chip and have already accepted the mark for transactions and identification.
You accept the chip because you understand the prophecy to mean information was used through the hand of forehead being presented. Well.. biometric scans also take information presented by the hand of face. It's already happening. Just look around. It's done. You will have no bank cards in 5 years except for nostalgia and warm fuzzies from the NWO.edit on 28-8-2012 by rwfresh because: (no reason given)
What your saying could be true. Logically it makes sense. But I don't agree. The bible says:
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.....
So it's clearly saying "receive a mark" (not your finger prints as those are not received, that's an existing mark), and it's saying "in" . and thats' the KJV. not some modern bs version.
If it was as you say like 99% of christians would likely go along with just a hand scan or face scan because they could compare that to bible text and think "well these are not the same". I think it's an actual chip. What your saying might be one phase prior to the chip. I think the reason for a chip would be to track your every move, your every thought, and transation. Thats' the point where people are basically no longer peoeple. They're real living breathing sheeple, with no will, no soul, no humanity left in them as they completely surrender to the antichrist.edit on 29-8-2012 by r2d246 because: (no reason given)edit on 29-8-2012 by r2d246 because: (no reason given)

Its naive people like you who will be the first to die if something like this was to happen.... If their is an invasion i bet you it wont be by us and it wont be hoaxed... Unless we get invaded by China or somethin like that, which is possible...
How is that I am naive? Because I see a possibility that you do not? I will be nowhere near any of it when it happens, so doubtful that I will be among the first to die.
Do not presume to know me or my intentions, concentrate on yourself.

This has been a theory that has been out there for a while. In fact, there has been writings as far back as the first generation of Rothschilds talking about some threatening event to bring everyone under 1 world government. Many believe that the new BlueBeam technology will be used to project giant spaceships into our skies to scare everyone. If you refer back to post about phantom cities in china projected out off the coasts onto fog I suppose the technology is there to accomplish such a plan.
However, I doubt it. I really doubt that it could happen without being debunked by someone somewhere. The plan assumes that the entire planet is simply overtly gullible and will march into FEMA camps willingly and imprisoned with chips shot into them. I really have trouble believing that.
It is a great plot for a movie though and I'd buy a ticket to go see that one!
But who really knows? Anything is possible.

The NWO is an Antichrist organisation . It's goal to monopolize the monetary system is to cause people to decide between Christ or the Anti- Christ. The Christians can not accept the Mark / RFID chip ?/Image of the Beast without rejecting Jesus as their Savior .Why ? Because God planned it that way. The evidence of todays information age and data gathering tells us that such a system is coming where you will be monitored every moment . The Christians will protest the Antichrist system and will be delt with , enter the FEMA Camps .

I recapped my late January visit to The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge in Ivins, Utah. Click on over to my first installments about my exercise vacation, if you haven't read about my check-in and weigh-in, followed by Days 1 to 3 and Days 4 to 6 and final weigh in — it'll make more sense if you read this series in order!
I read every single word of The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge website before I hopped in the car for my 8-hour drive from Colorado to Ivins, Utah for my week-long stay. I scoured the internet for firsthand accounts of other guests' visits. I looked carefully at the photos posted online, wondering, "Will there be people there who look like me? (i.e. average sized, not obese). I wondered, "Will I be hungry?" and "Will the exercise be challenging enough — or will it be too challenging?" and "Did I pack the right types of clothes?"
The FAQs on the official website answered some of my questions… but you can't always be fully prepared for any trip… and you can't always predict 100% what will happen on any vacation, exercise vacation or not!
Still, I'm hoping some of my experiences, advice and insight will help you best prepare for your stay at Fitness Ridge. Here are some packing tips, and some Q&As based on some questions I received while I was at the resort (from the few friends I'd told I was there!) and questions readers have asked since I've posted my reviews and recaps of my stay.
First, the resort emails you a basic packing list before your stay (it's online, too). I think it's a great guide, but I would add that I wore two sets of exercise clothes daily. I had my hiking clothes (in January, that was running tights and track pants, moisture-wicking socks, long sleeve base layer, short sleeve shirt, light fleece and windbreaker, fleece headband and gloves).
After sweating on my morning hikes, when I returned to the resort, all I wanted to do was peel off the wet clothes and take a hot shower — I usually had time to do that before the 11:15 lecture or stretch class. Obviously, I didn't want to put my damp clothes back on, so I put on fresh clothes for the rest of the day, including a dry sports bra.
You do have access to coin-operated laundry machines, conveniently located next to the pool, and you can do laundry at any time, but I found that hand-washing some items in the sink and hanging them on the clothesline in my shower did the trick when I wanted to wash a couple of favorite shirts. (I'd brought enough to not have to hand-wash, but really wanted to wear my favorite quick-dry ones again!) I also hand-washed two bras, a pair of workout pants and underwear. Everything dried overnight.
Here are the articles of clothing I actually wore during my week at the resort:
- 7 workout shirts (hand-washed 3)
- 1 long-sleeve base layer for hiking (hand-washed it)
- 9 pair underwear (hand-washed 5)
- 6 stretchy capri or full-length workout pants (hand-washed 1)
- 16 pairs of socks (roughly 6 hiking socks, 8 white gym socks, 2 casual socks)
- 4 bras (hand-washed 2)
- 1 down jacket (to wear in the evenings to dining hall, lectures)
- 3 light fleece jackets/pullovers
- 1 pair lounge pants (to wear in evenings to spa or communal lounge)
- 2 long sleeve casual shirts (again, for "evening wear" when I was sick of workout clothes)
- 1 pair gym sneakers (I did bring a back-up)
- 2 pair hiking shoes (wasn't sure which ones I'd want on the trail; did wear them both)
- 1 pair flip flops
- 1 pair clogs
- 2 pair track pants
- 1 windbreaker/rain jacket
- 1 bathing suit (I did pack 3 total)
- 2 nightshirts
- 1 cotton sweatshirt for sleeping
I also overpacked my first aid kit. I did not want to have to buy items at the resort store (though it's fully loaded with pain relievers, blister aids, etc.) I brought ThermaCare Heat Wraps, Nexcare Absolute Waterproof First Aid Tape, ban-daids, Pepto Bismol, epsom salts, Ben-Gay and lots of Advil.
I'd also pack ear plugs, in case a) your roommate snores or b) you have the loud heater on through the night. Truly, that forced-air heater was horrible. I'm guessing the cold air (it's also the air-conditioner) makes the same loud noises.
Now, a few questions and answers…
Did you feel ostracized, being one of the thinner people there?
Not really. That is, I'm not usually the minority in any group. I blend in. But when I was at the resort, I'd say of the 30 people there, maybe five or six of us were not visibly overweight. (Of course, remember my first InBody measurements revealed I was actually a hair above "normal" on the body fat spectrum! So, one never knows what one's body is comprised of… we all know "skinny fat" people.)
I think the only time I felt singled out was during a conversation at dinner when someone was talking about low-calorie diets. She claimed overweight people could subsist healthfully on 800 calories a day, because their bodies would just use their extra fat as fuel, as needed. She said to me, "Well, you couldn't do that. You don't have any fat." I wanted to say, "Have you seen me naked?! I've got a belly! I've got thighs!"
Another average-sized woman, who gave me a big hug after the first Welcome Orientation, said she just wanted me to feel welcomed. She said few people really talked to her the first week she was there.
That said, I truly did see a variety of people at the resort for a variety of reasons. One average-sized guy had broken his ankle in the fall and hadn't exercised for months; he needed to get back on track. Another average-sized woman was planning to stay at the resort for 8 weeks while her husband was out of the country for work. "My ass is going to be so firm, I'm going to be able to bounce a dime off it by the end of this!" (Loved that!)
There really were people of all shapes and sizes — very tall, big men in their 50s, a 22-year-old who accompanied her mother (but did not need to lose an ounce of weight), retired gray-haired women in their 60s.
I have to share the tale of one 50-something woman, who was always so wonderfully put together — hair always coiffed and makeup on. She worked really hard during our fitness classes, she was just one of those people who didn't seem to sweat! She was at the resort wanting to lose a dress size or two, but she actually gained a lot more — so much confidence! It was wonderful to hear her testimonial: "My husband always tells me I'm beautiful, but for the first time ever, I believe him, too." She said she "got me back" after just two weeks at the resort. I know she finished out her final two weeks (after I left) with enthusiasm and class. She's one classy lady — beautiful inside and out.
Did you have any free time?
Not really. The days are packed. I could run to my room to eat my twice daily snacks and check email (wi-fi is included; signal is strong) between classes, but there was zero time to lie in the lounge chairs by the pool or watch even an episode of something on television during the day. Lectures end by 7 p.m., so there is free time in the evenings, but usually you're so exhausted, you just want to take a bath (or have a spa treatment) and go to bed.
Wednesday night does bring a van trip to Target! That's exciting for many folks, especially those who don't have cars at the resort or who are there for several weeks. It's a good time for purchasing any needed items (cheaper, usually, than the resort store). But be aware: eyes will be on you. No sneaking off to get a pretzel, popcorn or hot dog from the Target fast-food counter.
Did you get a break from daily exercise at all?
The only true rest day is Sunday. Stayover guests use Saturday afternoon/evening and all day Sunday to do laundry, get rides into town for some shopping, maybe take a day trip to Vegas (2 hours away) or Zion National Park, or see a movie. Frankly, if I were staying over another week, I don't think I'd want to leave the resort! I'd watch mindless TV or take a walk or lie by the pool or get a massage at the on-site spa — I wouldn't want to be tempted by the outside world.
Sunday is a bit of a rest day for kitchen staff, too. Breakfast is served, as usual, but then all guests (stayover and departing) get a healthy boxed lunch. I loved having that lunch to eat on my car ride home: hummus wrap, almonds, orange, bean dip and celery sticks. Perfect!
Oh, I will note that departing information for guests includes a fabulous guide to the healthy places to eat at the Salt Lake City airport and the Las Vegas airport — lists of restaurants and specific food items with calorie totals. I think this is brilliant. And if there isn't a website that lists healthy airport food options worldwide, there should be. There's a business opportunity for some enterprising web developer. You're welcome.
Are there vegetarian or vegan meals?
Absolutely. Vegans and vegetarians would get a little card they put at top of their plate for every meal to make sure they get vegan/veggie options. After a couple days, waitstaff knows you, so they would bring out the veggie option without needing to look at the little card!
Guests with food allergies — or food aversions — can also get little cards made up. If you don't eat shellfish (or nuts or eggplant), the cards will alert wait staff. There are always substitutions that can be made.
Did you take advantage of some of the extra services — spa, chiropractor, personal training, nutritionist, life coaching?
I indulged in three extra spa treatments (deep tissue massage, which was the best; lomi-lomi, which was great; and Hanakasumi leg treatment, which others had raved about, but I thought was just okay). But I didn't pay any extra for other one-on-one sessions.
I was thankful I didn't get injured or feel ridiculously sore during my week-long stay. But many other guests did. And those who sought treatment from the chiropractor/acupuncturist said he was awesome — really helped with their ailments.
The nutritionist does one-on-one coaching, and I believe the LCSW does, too. I know one afternoon she offered some "group counseling" for an additional fee, for a minimum of four people.
I'd think some personal training — to get some tips on a workout plan for returning home — would be helpful for those who don't go to a gym at home. But I'd wait to book that session until you get to know all the trainers. They all have different personalities, and I'd think you'd want to work with the trainer you best mesh with!
Did you use a heart rate monitor?
The staff highly recommends using a heart rate monitor so you can make sure you're working out in the right "zone" (i.e. best place for you to be working out efficiently – not too hard, not too light — for burning fat, or whatever.) And there is an entire lecture that discusses the benefits of heart-rate monitors.
I personally didn't use a heart rate monitor, but I saw many other folks did. Some used bodybugg or Fitbit activity tracker devices. I don't think these monitors are necessary — but would be a fun piece of technology to play with.
Were you hungry?
Yes, at times. Never, ever starving. I found I'd get hungry right around meal time. Like at 12:30, sure enough, I'd be ready for lunch. Same for the early dinnertime at 5:20 p.m. The small snacks filled me up between meals. I really only felt hunger pains when I stayed up late-ish (i.e. 10 p.m.) a couple times. Then, I drank a lot of water and just tried to get to sleep fast.
At lunch and dinner we were able to help ourselves to a salad bar filled with greens, crisp vegetables, chopped hard boiled egg and garbanzo beans. Flavored vinegars were out on the bar, for us to use as needed. But if we wanted a vinaigrette — which had some oil in it — we had to ask waitstaff for it. The small containers of pre-measured dressing were kept hidden in the kitchen.
Would you go back?
Sure, I'd be delighted — truly — to spend another week at Fitness Ridge. But I hope I don't have to go. That is, I'd like to think that I have all the tools I need to succeed at home — integrating regular vigorous exercise and healthy, non-emotional eating into my lifestyle.
My week-long stay was perfect. I was ready to go home after just one week. I missed my family. But I could have stayed. In fact so many people said that the first week basically sucks, because your body is adjusting to all the intense exercise and less food than you're used to, and the second week is much easier.
It's fascinating the number of repeat visitors I met. So many people had been at the resort before — or were already planning to return later in the year! Frankly, I don't think I'd want to spend another couple thousand dollars there, and again, I hope I wouldn't have to go. But if someone sent me there, heck yeah, I'd go back!

Article of the Month
Blended Gifts - Part IV
The idea of asking donors to make a "blended gift" is an emerging trend in the world of philanthropy. A blended gift is the combination of a current gift, or a commitment to make a series of current gifts, together with a planned gift, such as a bequest, charitable trust or charitable gift annuity. The current gift portion of the blended gift will provide the donor and charity with benefits today while the planned gift portion typically provides both current and future benefits. With a blended gift, a donor can make his or her giving go further.
Over the past decade, the focus of charitable capital campaigns has shifted so that many campaigns now include goals with respect to planned gifts. Campaigns now target 30% to 40% of the overall goal toward the receipt of planned gifts. Individuals who have made regular gifts in the past, who strongly support a charity or who have the capacity to make a large gift, may be asked to consider making a blended gift.
As the likelihood of a blended gift request grows, professional advisorsattorneys, CPAs, financial advisors and insurance agentswho work with potential donors will increasingly be asked to help their clients assess the feasibility, benefits and best structure for their clients to make these gifts. This article series explains twelve of the most common blended gifts arrangements and the potential donor benefits for each.
Part IV of this series focuses on two types of blended gifts a gift combination of a non-grantor lead trust and bequest as well as a gift combination of an outright gift and testamentary lead trust. This article will discuss some of the unique aspects of these gifts, the motivating factors and the benefits for the donor and the donor's family. It will also provide examples to illustrate how these gift strategies can help a donor meet his or her estate and tax planning goals.
As the previous articles in this series have explained, a blended gift is often an effective means of achieving each donor's objectives. For donors who desire to make a charitable impact today, transfer wealth to family in a tax-efficient manner and create a charitable legacy, a lead trust combined with a bequest could be the right giving strategy.
A charitable lead trust is often described as the inverse of a charitable remainder trust (see Part III for a discussion of blended gifts using charitable remainder unitrusts). A lead trust operates by making annual gifts to charity for a period of time and then, after the trust term is completed, the trust assets will pass to family (non-grantor lead trust) or back to the donor (grantor lead trust). When the trust is established, the donor may be entitled to either a gift, estate or income tax deduction depending on the type of lead trust created. The deduction will be equal to the present value of the income stream to charity. Reg. 25.2522(c)-3(c)(2).
There are two basic types of lead truststhe non-grantor lead trust (or "family lead trust") and the grantor lead trust. Within the grantor lead trust category is another type of lead trust often referred to as a "super lead trust."
The most common type of trust (and the type that this article will focus on for purposes of funding a blended gift) is the family lead trust. The family lead trust will produce a gift tax deduction when created and will distribute the remaining trust assets to family at the end of the trust term. Thus, the major benefit of this type of lead trust is the donor's ability to pass on assets to family members at a reduced gift or estate tax cost. The trust can be funded during the life of the grantor or at death as a testamentary lead trust. Note that, unlike tax-exempt charitable remainder trusts, lead trust income is taxable. If the trust is structured as a family lead trust, the income earned by the trust is taxable to the trust.
The second type of lead trust is the grantor lead trust. With this trust, the remaining trust assets will revert back to the grantor at the end of the trust term. The grantor lead trust provides the donor with a charitable income tax deduction in the year the trust is funded. Sec. 170(f)(2). However, if the trust is structured as a grantor lead trust, then the income earned by the trust is taxable to the donor on his or her personal tax return. As such, the trust investment strategy for a grantor lead trust will be designed to minimize recognition of income during the term of the trust.
The third type of lead trust is sometimes referred to as a "super lead trust." It is technically a grantor lead trust that will pass assets to family at the end of the trust term rather than reverting back to the grantor. Through careful drafting, the super lead trust will be classified as a grantor lead trust, enabling the donor to qualify for a charitable income tax deduction in the year the trust is funded. The trust also will contain a Sec. 675(4) power that enables a non-adverse party to acquire trust assets. By including this power in the trust document, the trust will be held outside the donor's estate for tax purposes (so long as the donor does not retain a reversion or control over the distribution of income). Sec. 2036(a).
All three types of lead trust payouts can have fixed or variable payments to charity. If the trust is structured as a lead annuity trust, then the trust will make fixed payments to charity each year regardless of trust earnings. The other option is to structure the trust as a lead unitrust, which will pay out a percentage of trust assets each year. Therefore, with a lead unitrust, the amount going to charity could go up or down depending on the trust's value. Lead trusts will most commonly be structured as annuity trusts because, since the payment is fixed, the trust principal is able to compound and grow over time. For example, if an annuity trust pays 5% and earns 7%, there is significant growth potential over a term of 10, 12, 15 years or longer. Even though the annuity payment is fixed and will not change, the 7% earnings will continue to be based on a larger compounding corpus. Thus, some annuity lead trusts have grown to three, four or even five times the initial trust value. In contrast, a lead trust that is structured with the variable unitrust payouts will end up paying out some of the trust's growth to charity rather than passing it on to family at the end of the trust term. As such, unitrust payouts are less frequently used than annuity payouts for lead trusts.
Lead trust donors are given wide latitude when selecting both the amount of the payout and the trust duration. Unlike charitable remainder trusts, which must pay out a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 50%, lead trusts do not have payout restrictions. Similarly, the donor has flexibility in selecting the duration of the trust. A lead trust can make payments to charity for the life of the donor, for a term of years or even for the lesser of a life or a term of years. In contrast with a term of years charitable remainder trust, which is limited under Sec. 664 to a maximum term of 20 years, lead trusts do not have the same term of years limit. For example, a donor could choose to create a lead trust for 30 years, with the remainder passing to family upon the expiration of that term.
The trustee also has flexibility in determining trust investments. However, he or she will need to carefully select trust investments in order to avoid tax on trust income. Recall that, if the trust is structured as a family lead trust, the income earned by the trust is taxable to the trust. Fortunately, the trust can claim an unlimited income tax deduction for the amount distributed to charity. Sec. 642(c). However, earnings above the amount distributed to charity will be subject to tax. As such, most family lead trusts will invest in growth stocks, earn ordinary income from bonds and receive dividends from stocks. These trusts will also avoid selling appreciated assets within the trust and funding the trust with income producing assets. The trustee will want to manage the trust so that the income earned by the trust matches the amount of the distribution to charity in order to minimize tax liability. Also note that if a lead trust has unrelated business income (defined in Sec. 512-514), then the trust will only be able to deduct 50% of the income transferred to charity. Sec. 681.
As mentioned above, combining a family lead trust with a bequest may be a great solution for those donors who wish to contribute to the immediate needs of their favorite charities today, transfer wealth to family members at a reduced gift and estate tax cost and also leave a lasting legacy to charity.
For individuals who desire flexibility in their financial planning, a lead trust and a bequest will satisfy this need. With a lead trust, the donor can use the trust to meet personal objectives by deciding what assets to use to fund the trust, the duration of the trust, what percentage of trust assets will be paid to charity each year, which charities will benefit from the trust and who will receive the trust assets after the trust term. Likewise, a bequest provides the donor with the flexibility to continue to use assets during life and to structure the bequest in a way that best suits the donor's objectives (e.g., the donor could make a bequest of a specific asset, a percentage of the donor's estate or a bequest of the residue of the estate).
By coupling a family lead trust with a bequest, a donor will benefit from two different types of deductions. The family lead trust will provide the donor with a charitable gift tax deduction while the bequest will produce a charitable estate tax deduction, which could be extremely beneficial for those individuals who desire to reduce or completely eliminate estate taxes. In addition, by creating a living family lead trust, a donor who is concerned about estate tax consequences will be able to move substantial assets through to family and avoid inclusion of those assets' appreciation in the donor's estate at death.
Example 1:
Oliver is a successful business owner and father. He would like to start funding an inheritance plan for his two daughters and pass some assets to them during life in order to decrease the size of his taxable estate. Oliver has also been very involved as a donor and volunteer at his favorite charity. The charity is in the early stages of a large construction project and approached Oliver to see if he would be willing to provide funding. Oliver is interested in doing so, but he also wants to make sure that he provides for the charity after he passes away through a bequest gift and hopes to receive an estate tax deduction for the gift as well.
Oliver talks to his financial advisors and decides to transfer a building valued at $2,000,000 along with $500,000 cash to a charitable lead annuity trust. At Oliver's request, his advisor structures the trust so that it will make a 5% fixed payment to Oliver's favorite charity each year for 12 years. After the 12-year term, the appreciated principal will pass to his daughters. The lead trust will produce a gift tax deduction of $1,120,274. Between the deduction and the trust's estimated remainder value of $3,141,500, Oliver is able to able to meet his goal of transferring valuable assets to his daughters outside of his estate. In addition, Oliver receives personal satisfaction knowing that the annual $125,000 gifts from the lead trust will enable his favorite charity to move forward with its construction project.
Oliver also asks his advisor to include a $1,000,000 gift to the charity in his estate plan. This will reduce his estate taxes by producing a charitable estate tax deduction. This bequest will enable him to make a large impact by providing for his favorite charity's future needs.
Another type of blended gift that utilizes a lead trust is the combination of an outright gift and a testamentary lead trust. This blended gift will enable a donor to help a charity meet its pressing needs today while also providing an inheritance for family and a legacy gift to charity. From a tax-savings standpoint, the immediate gift will help the donor reduce his or her tax bill this year and the testamentary lead trust will provide a charitable estate tax deduction, which can reduce estate taxes for donors with taxable estates.
A testamentary lead trust is essentially an application of the family lead trust discussed above. However, instead of the donor funding the trust during life, the lead trust is funded upon the death of the donor through the donor's estate. The trust will make income payments to selected charities for a number of years and then the remainder will pass to designated family members or other beneficiaries. As such, it will produce a charitable estate tax deduction equal to the present value of the income payments to charity rather than a gift tax deduction. The difference between the value of the assets transferred to the lead trust and the estate tax deduction will be a taxable transfer. However, the unified estate and gift tax lifetime exclusion may reduce or completely zero out taxes due on the transfer to family. Therefore, one significant benefit of the testamentary lead trust is the ability to move a substantial amount of assets to family with little or no taxation.
A testamentary lead trust will be funded with property from the estate. Therefore, appreciated property within the lead trust will receive a step-up in basis at the time of funding. As such, testamentary lead trust assets are often sold and the proceeds invested in a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds. Like living lead trusts, testamentary lead trusts are not tax-exempt. Therefore, the trust should be carefully managed in order to ensure that the income generated within the trust matches the income distributed to charity because the trust is permitted to deduct the entire amount transferred to charity on the trust income tax return (so long as the income is not UBTI).
Whether to use a living lead trust or a testamentary lead trust often depends on timing considerations and the goals of the donor. These considerations include: the age of the lead trust beneficiaries, whether the donor wants to use current assets or assets in the estate to fund the trust and the age of the donor. A testamentary lead trust is sometimes preferable to a living lead trust for more senior donors.
While a testamentary lead trust can be an excellent planning tool by itself, coupling it with an outright gift enables the donor to benefit from tax savings in the year of the gift and make an immediate impact by helping favorite charities meet their needs today. Combining these two gifts will provide the donor with an income tax deduction for the full amount of the outright gift and enable the donor's estate to claim a charitable estate tax deduction equal to the present value of the lead trust payments to charity after the donor passes away. Additionally, if the donor has an appreciated asset and he or she plans to minimize taxation on the gain, then a gift of that appreciated asset would allow the donor to bypass the gain completely. Thus, from a tax savings-standpoint, blending these two gifts will allow individuals to realize multiple forms of tax savings and thereby achieve several goals at once.
For charitably minded individuals, this plan enables donors to provide lasting support to their favorite charities. The outright gift could help the selected charity achieve its short-term goals today (e.g., meeting a current campaign fundraising goal, constructing a new building, growing the charity's endowment or creating a new scholarship program). In addition, the lead trust will enable the donor to create a legacy long after he or she passes away thanks to the lead trust payments to the selected charities. Thus, philanthropic donors will experience a sense of satisfaction knowing that their charitable support will continue to impact the organizations near and dear to their hearts well into the future.
Example 2:
Annie is 87 years old and lost her husband a few years ago. She has a very large estate and makes substantial gifts to her favorite charities every year. Last year, she revised her estate plan to include a testamentary charitable remainder unitrust. When Annie passes away, the remainder trust will make payments to her children for a term of 10 years, after which the trust balance will be distributed to the charity named in the trust agreement. (See last month's article for a discussion on testamentary unitrusts.)
Annie would like to find a strategy that allows her to continue making charitable gifts. She also wants to transfer a large inheritance to her children beyond the income that will be paid from the unitrust. In addition, she would like to reduce her tax bill this year and perhaps avoid gain on the sale of appreciated stock that she bought many years ago.
After meeting with her advisor, Annie decides to first make an outright gift of $100,000 of her appreciated stock to her favorite charity's current campaign. Annie will receive a deduction this year and will be able to bypass all of the capital gain on the stock. Note that because the stock is an appreciated property gift, her deduction will be limited to 30% of her AGI this year, but she will be able to carry forward the remaining deduction for up to an additional five years.
Second, Annie's attorney helps her draft a testamentary lead trust, which will be funded with $15,000,000 in assets from her estate. The unitrust and lead trust will work in tandem. The lead trust will make annual annuity payments of $750,000 to charity for a term of 10 years while the unitrust will make payments to Annie's children for 10 years. After 10 years, the unitrust assets will be distributed to charity and the lead trust remainder will be distributed to Annie's children. Her estate will also receive a $6,666,975 estate tax deduction based on the establishment of the lead trust. Annie is thrilled because she will be able to provide continued support to her favorite charities and to her children when she passes away. By combining the testamentary lead trust with the outright gift of appreciated stock, Annie is able to save on taxes today, reduce her estate costs and provide more wealth for her family and charity in the future.
A blended gift is a great way for donors to contribute to a charity's capital campaign while maintaining assets for use later in life. Donors are able to make an immediate impact on their favorite charities and also establish planned gifts that will continue to benefit those charities for years to come. In addition to the satisfaction of knowing that they are furthering charitable purposes, blended gifts donors who combine gifts or bequests with lead trusts will see substantial tax benefits from their gifts and be confident that income will be available for personal or family needs in the future. Not only do blended gifts accomplish donors' personal and financial goals, they enable donors to support the causes that matter most to them and leave a lasting legacy.

Traditionally urban design is perceived, communicated and created using physical and digital media. However, these realms are handled as separate entities, which hinder collaboration, understanding and communication. Collaborative Augmented Reality (AR) systems can integrate these tasks into one media type and allow a different conversation with complex issues. Human Computer Interfaces and Tangible User Interfaces play key role in AR. They allow an engagement with both the real and virtual component of an urban design project. This paper describes an urban design studio that employs AR as medium of collaboration, the theoretical framework of sense of presence, the understanding and the quality of the resulting design.

Who's Crazy?Reviewed By Rob Gonsalves
Posted 03/22/17 06:57:39
(Worth A Look)
Once upon a time, an American filmmaker in Belgium happened across a group of other Americans.The group were members of New York's experimental Living Theatre, whose founders (Julian Beck and Judith Molina) were back in the States doing time for tax evasion. While waiting for their spiritual father and mother to arrive, the Theatre people herded into a deserted farmhouse along with the filmmaker — Thomas White — and created Who's Crazy?, a barely feature-length attempt shown at a couple of festivals in 1966 and then considered lost for decades. During that time it was known, if at all, among jazz scholars because of its soundtrack by Ornette Coleman. Finally, in 2015 a print of the film was found in White's garage.
Like Coleman's score — performed while Coleman and his collaborators watched the film — the action in Who's Crazy? is largely improvised. We begin aboard a bus transporting a bunch of mental patients. The bus breaks down, an inmate escapes, and while two guards chase after him, the rest of the inmates break free and crowd into the farmhouse, where they enact various scenarios meant to illuminate or satirize societal tropes (trial, marriage, communal meals). Sometimes the inmates chant or emit barbaric yawps; other times they speak in solemn theater jive. Most often, the harried, lunging music, a boomerang spinning towards discovery, speaks for them.
Modern viewers might have fun imposing connections between this and earlier or later works. It definitely shares DNA with Marat/Sade, King of Hearts, The Idiots, and The Ninth Configuration, not to mention the Living Theatre's own The Brig. One actor, bearded and saturnine, could be a brother to Oscar Isaac in Inside Llewyn Davis; the cast in general shares that hipster aura. We're always aware that we're watching a performance — the movie doesn't make us enter into the imaginative contract, where we agree to accept the shown events as "real." White's camera meanders or stares at a man numbly applying greasepaint, prefiguring Lance the acid-head surfer smearing camo grease on his face in Apocalypse Now.
What makes Who's Crazy? more than a curiosity, a relic from the noble-lunatic era of Leary and Laing, is its spirit of play — the actors are reaching for truth, ecstasy, life in death. All very po-faced and pompous, but fun to take in small doses (here and there it reminded me of some of the elliptical little theatrical whimsies Edward Gorey used to put on in his favorite theaters on Cape Cod). Like a lot of contemporaneous avant garde cinema, the movie is a result of shooting for hours and then manhandling it into some sort of order in the editing room. There's a loose narrative with some cross-cutting creating what we read as subplots. Ultimately it comments on its own medium — experimental narrative often staggers towards postmodernism. Maybe two or three characters take turns owning the film simply because they get more screen time; we might feel there are equally prominent characters littering the cutting-room floor. Even avant garde in 1965 has its limits: no women or black actors (there are a few seen here) assume the center.
I value this work more than I value, say, E. Elias Merhige's grimly archetypal Begotten (1989) because it revels so cheerfully in its own nonsense, and the illogic consorts organically and gorgeously with those Coleman riffs. (The only other movie Coleman scored was David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch, and Who's Crazy? at times feels like one of Cronenberg's early, intimate shorts.) There's something fascist-apocalyptic about the movie's milieu, a cold foggy place where wild innocents are pursued by bears with badges, but within that context the Living Theatre people celebrate and exult. (Apparently Mom and Dad didn't much care for the result: Julian Beck sniffed that the movie was false to the Theatre's "energy vector.") Owing as much to silent comedy as to hip new notions of confrontational drama, Who's Crazy? pleases by its very inability to please in a conventional sense. It gives the people what they want, though — conflict, thrills, love, music, song — just not in the usual package.Known for its jazz, it's pretty jazzy itself, and ends up being a more potent tribute to that musical form than a certain recent musical that won a few Oscars.
