On "Pink Dog"
Bonnie Costello (1991)
What makes this exploration of social and physical anxiety so powerful is that she both abhors the enforcement of "costume" and sees its necessity. We are embarrassed here by nakedness and by its opposite. In "Pink Dog" she urges a costume on a naked dog (a dehumanized image of the body) for the sake of its survival in a culture that wishes to deny the mortal body. The poet writes from the margin, on the divide between culture and nature, a creature of both. It is her empathy for the pink dog, her own sense of marginality, that provokes her terrible advice. In a culture which abhors the bodys mutability, disguise is the only alternative to expulsion of annihilation. The dog in us must be dressed up and taught to dance if it is to be tolerated at all. Carnival is now the expression not of freedom but of repression.
The poem offers no clear answer to the public fear of the mutable body, yet that fear and repressive behavior it provokes are obviously criticized. We are left suspended between sympathy and judgment toward the speaker. Pink dog and speaker appear as two rival aspects of the self one that would parade its nakedness, whatever the consequences, and one that would cover and protect, since it cannot or does not wish to expel, the body. The pink dog has none of the alterity of the fish or other iconic figures in Bishops poetry. She lives among us, in our element, as the aspect of ourselves we cannot tame. But by making her central figure a dog rather than a human, Bishop reminds us that she does not represent, in her naked, diseased state, a viable human option. The poet is not the dog but the troubled speaker who must somehow reconcile her culture to the dog it despises

Lorrie Goldensohn (1992)
"Pink Dog," published in 1979, but by Lisa Brownes calculation written in 1964, introduces a different mood. Each of Bishops books has featured animals and objects,m streets and houses. Each book has its resident animal. Besides Marianne Moore, I do not know of any modern or contemporary poet who pushed the animal masquerade quite as hard and effectively as Bishop; even her small prose poems in "Rainy Season: Subtropics" are saturated with the pain of the grieving human animal working the microphone behind the poem. Nothing is so savage and hurt as "Pink Dog," with its almost unbearable Swiftian irony, where the speaker rises almost inevitably in our minds, moving in a ghost duet with the trotting miseries of the naked little bitch with scabies:
[Goldensohn quotes the poem.]
In another context, "They" could be wrong about the ruined Carnival; in these lines, though, ruin seems all too likely and a scolding, black desperation clings to both speaker and dog.
Yet the very explosion of this bitterness into print marks a further advance in subject: this is only the second major female animal emblem allowed into Bishops work, and an eye interested in looking for a fuller spectrum of emotions could balance the recent appearance of the benevolent and potent moose against the ill and damaged mother dog. Occasionally, Bishops animals are allowed what her people are not: pity accrues for the scabious mother dog with her dangling teats, where the black mothers of National Geographic [from the poem "In the Waiting Room] "with those awful hanging breasts" remain an object of childish horror.

C. K. Doreski
While refusing the predictable moral stance, "Pink Dog" exposes the cruelties of an age of extreme conformity. The poem, however, lacks Bishops characteristic vaguely resigned but painfully aware voice, and affects a tone of humorous indifference. Though she may attempt to echo the less-than-acute political satire of the Brazilian sambas (see translation in CP 263-264) and simultaneously record the trials of the dog and the brutalized narrator, she relies on a series of tropes of the grotesque that engender neither nor interest. Surely she would recognize that the speaker of this poem is as much a victim of a cruel age as the dog. Lacking the sting of political narrative, Bishop's critique appears naive, not shrewd. The light-verse end rhymes of the tercets of "Pink Dog," rather than intensifying and unifying the poem, render it comical and tasteless. Perhaps a difficulty with this poem stems from its strange voice. Though the voice of "Manuelzinho" was not Bishop's, the attendant spirit's voice was. "Pink Dog" lacks the strong sense of purpose found in even the weaker of the earlier exile pieces. As so often, Randall Jarrell most effectively describes what most have come to expect from Bishop's world, and in so doing reveals the sullied vision of this poem:
She is so morally attractive in poems like "The Fish" or "Roosters" because she understands so well that the wickedness and confusion of the age can explain and extenuate other people's wickedness and confusion, but not for you. your own; that morality, for the individual, is usually a small, personal, statistical, but heartbreaking or heartwarming affair of omissions and commissions the greatest of which will seem infinitesimal, ludicrously beneath notice, to those who govern, rationalize, and deplore.
The lack of that moral attractiveness mars "Pink Dog," but the poem does remind the reader how convincingly that moral purpose occurs in her best work, like "Crusoe."

Mena Mitrano
Scholarship on Elizabeth Bishop has traditionally praised her reticence, especially in matters of identity, the female body, and female sexuality.(1) Indeed, readers who aspire to more than just a superficial knowledge of Bishop's poetry must come to terms with her famed reticence. In one of her last poems, "Pink Dog" (1979), the rhetorical containment and modesty associated with her style border on self-censorship. In this poem, reticence becomes the speaker's protective response to the realization that as soon as female subjectivity appears on the avenue of representation, it automatically becomes something profoundly ruinous, viscerally antiaesthetic.
Accordingly, in "Pink Dog" animal allegory is chosen as a sort of rhetorical objective relative for a speaker caught in a bind. Unlike her mentor, Marianne Moore, Bishop does not use animal allegory to suggest the possibility of a gentler world;(2) rather she uses it to point to a self-censoring process, to intimate guarded, even muzzled, speech about the possibility of positing a female subjectivity against the grain of the page, so to speak. Bishop's female dog, clothed in nothing but the socially offensive pink bareness of its/her aging body, is not simply a dog but a signifier that keeps the poem (and us) oscillating between two semantic clusters: "woman" and "dog."
Like Stevens's anonymous "you" in the initial octave of "Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction" (Collected Poems 380), Bishop's naked "you" in the first movement of "Pink Dog" momentarily becomes a sort of privileged interior paramour, an anonymous term of address with whom the observer enters a quiet, intimate exchange as if in a flash of recognition: "The sun is blazing and the sky is blue. / Umbrellas clothe the beach in every hue. / Naked, you trot across the avenue" (CP 190). In the second tercet referentiality is no longer suspended. The exclamation "Oh, never have I seen a dog so bare!" - possibly interjected by a passerby - leaves no doubt as to what the observer's anonymous interlocutor was in the first tercet. But "Naked and pink, without a single hair" returns to "Naked, you trot across the avenue," that is, to the scene of the initial intimate address, where we did not yet know for sure that the naked "you" was a dog. Moreover, the poem increasingly conjures up the overlapping of two semantic clusters when, later on, stanzaic divisions are employed to create the expectation of an unmasked signifier "woman" in the place of "dog": "But no one will ever see a / / dog in mascara. . . ." and with the juxtaposition of "depilated" and "dog" in the last stanza (CP 191).
But the title already announced this oscillation between two intersecting semantic clusters. Visually, "pink dog" is a pastiche: it conjures a dog made up as a woman, that is, clothed in what popular culture has long viewed as the quintessential attribute of femininity ("pink") or, vice versa, a pink thing (popular space of femininity) dressed up as a dog. Bishop's poem begins with an observer who recognizes in the dog something she knows: that female subjectivity enters representation as a grotesque fact. As the poem unfolds, however, all traces of the observer's former identification with the naked "you" are dissolved into an alliance with a "they" who are "mortally afraid" of it. As in other Bishop poems, the progress of "Pink Dog" leads to that moment of epiphany when the observer falls into social constructions of the self.(3) This fall is bitterly celebrated by the rhyme scheme in the fourth tercet, which substitutes monotony for cruel mockery, exposing the imperfect, inadequate rhyme between the shaved bitch's "hanging teats" and her "wits," respectively, her worn-out motherhood and her intelligence. The same observer who at poem's start had secretly recognized a signifier of femininity that otherwise exuded offense goes on to learn that it would be improper to say out loud what she realizes the minute her eye meets the pink dog and its horizon of meaning. The suspension of referentiality simultaneously speaks and represses this impropriety. Through a self-censoring observer caught between knowledge and silence, Bishop can thus deliver the hard lesson that in symbolic practice, female subjectivity exists under the sign of a technology of violence (in which the poem participates) whereby the appearance of the female subject automatically calls for its "expulsion or annihilation" (Costello 86).
In a poem such as "In the Waiting Room," protected by a child persona, the observer could rebel at the realization that she is "one of them" - of the community of adults in the waiting room, of a world at war, of the disturbing images of The National Geographic - with a scream (CP 159-61). In "Pink Dog" no such thing is possible. Here the overlapping of interiority and exteriority is accepted without protest as a rite of passage to the symbolic, as the very possibility of subjectivity; but in addition, Bishop goes on to expose her observer's self-censoring acts.
The suspended referentiality that in Bishop's poem attempts to clothe in modesty an outrageous, ruinous insight into female subjectivity may also be read as a figure for the dispersal of the self. The female self in "Pink Dog" appears, that is to say disappears, in the shape of an offensive pink nakedness. This second reading places the poem in a dialogue with an American tradition of writing that, as Richard Poirier shows, from Emerson to Stevens has attempted to "writ[e] off the self" (Poirier 1987, ch. 5). It may be said that similarly to Poirier's Emersonians, Bishop writes off the female self, dissolving it into a nonhuman image. But in "Pink Dog" this dispersal begins to show signs of anxiety; it becomes stained, so to speak, with ideology; that is, with an intention that Poirier's argument confines exclusively to the Europeans (Nietzsche and Foucault among them). The naked pinkness or the pink bareness that greets us in the heat of a Rio de Janeiro summer day, before even suggesting the shape of a dog, signifies a doubt: that under such a "blazing" sun one might not immediately be able to make out the shape of the pink mass in the horizon. Thus, with the complicity of a South American scenario, Bishop offers a pun on a North American trope for the self as "some bare rock" (Poirier 1992, 71). With an almost Chaplinesque tragic playfulness, Bishop revisits the Emersonian scene where we are asked "to submit to the poverty of subjectivity, the poverty of self" (Poirier 1992, 73). Her conceit of a pink firstness, of a pink, bare and barren, depilated self is the low-brow child in a series of eminent North American poverties such as Emerson's rock, Charles Peirce's Firstness, and Wallace Stevens's pallid candor of the First Idea. The pinkness of Bishop's female animal self declares that, for all the spectacular costuming and dancing it may spur, poverty of self cannot be an object of intellectual longing because it remains fundamentally embarrassing on the scene of signification.

"Slum tourism is a way for travelers to taste the exotica of squalor," announces the title of a September 10, 2007 article on Indian Malaysian Online. The article goes on to describe several of the world's largest slums tourists can explore. Trendy or not, during a 2005 visit to Nairobi, Kenya I could not have secured a tour of Kibera, the largest slum in the world, even if I wanted to (no locals were willing to take three American girls through this dangerous area that covers most of the city). The speaker in Elizabeth Bishop's "Pink Dog," seems a slum tourist herself, observing and sympathizing with the desperate inhabitants of the largest slum in South America, Brazil's Favela da Rocinha, ironically located in Rio de Janeiro's wealthiest neighborhood.
C.K. Doreski (MAPS) writes that "Pink Dog" is a failure because it lacks the "sting of political narrative" and a "moral attractiveness," making it "affect[] humorous indifference" instead of spurring the reader to political action. On the contrary, Bishop's comparison of Rio's impoverished inhabitants of Rocinha to a vulnerable, desperate dog is a searing commentary on the ways in which a nation's poor are swept to the fringes like so many feral animals.
Didn't you know? It's been in all the papers,
to solve this problem, how they deal with beggars?
They take them and throw them in the tidal rivers.
Yes, idiots, paralytics, parasites
go bobbing in the ebbing sewage, nights
out in the suburbs, where there are no lights.
If they do this to anyone who begs,
drugged, drunk, or sober, with or without legs,
what would they do to sick, four-legged dogs?
Perhaps critics such as Doreski would say that Bishop's tight end-rhymes, and the sing-song quality of the lilting stanzas, sacrifice the political to the lyrical. However, Bishop's use of rhyme here is similar to other poets,' like Edwin Rolfe's "Little Ballad for Americans – 1954" or Aaron Kramer's "Denmark Vesey," whose ironically musical use of rhyme actually makes a more, not less, intense political statement. The sing-song stanzas about a city's castaway homeless, framed in the setting of Rio's decadent beaches and Carnival atmosphere, would make any Brazilian politician squirm in discomfort. Indeed, as Cary Nelson points out in his notes on Bishop, "Pink Dog" is representative of her poems that "focused on her Brazil experience, [where] her technical skills and unsentimental wit supported her in a journey into boldly unconventional social and cultural commentary of a sort no other American poet has attempted" (631).
"Pink Dog" is set not inside Rocinha, but rather on the brighter side of Rio's tourism: on the beach where "Umbrellas clothe the beach in every hue" under a hot sun and a blue sky, and in trendy cafés that line downtown sidewalks. Against this bright, sunny backdrop the disparate image of the hairless dog "trot[ting] across the avenue" repulses bystanders:
Oh, never have I seen a dog so bare!
Naked and pink without a single hair…
Startled, the passersby draw back and stare.
With the strong AAA rhyme scheme, Bishop forces us to travel, from the sunny beach where the "sky is blue" and the umbrellas display "every hue," across the "avenue" where the rhymes and the imagery become disturbingly vulgar. In these stanzas, the speaker begins to separate herself from the passersby with the pronoun "they." Instead of expressing disgust for the dog, as the other tourists do, her muses anthropomorphize the dog's life, expressing her sympathy and eliciting such from readers:
Of course, they are mortally afraid of rabies.
You are not mad; you have a case of scabies
but look intelligent. Where are your babies?
(A nursing mother, by those hanging teats.)
In what slum have you hidden them, poor bitch,
while you go begging, living by your wits?
Critics of "Pink Dog" focus on the dog's explicitly female body, and Mena Mitrano (MAPS) writes that this poem is typical of Bishop's poetic "reticence, especially in matters of identity, the female body, and female sexuality." Indeed, employing the derogatory term "poor bitch" both distances the speaker from the dog – "'you'" are a dog, I am a woman" – and associates the dog with women in the slums to whom society might refer as poor bitches. While Bishop's preoccupation with the female body – both naked and dressed ("What will you wear" to Carnival?) – is obvious in this poem, it serves to highlight the economic disparities inherent in the ironic juxtaposition of the world's largest slum within one of the world's most attractive destinations for wealthy tourists.
Throughout the poem, Bishop indicts all who observe Rocinha's inhabitants but do nothing to help them: Brazilian bureaucrats, tourists, and locals alike are incriminated. The speakers mentions "the joke is going round that all the beggars/who can afford them now wear life preservers" for when they are thrown into the "tidal rivers." This line conjures images of opportunistic vendors who would sell, rather than give, a life jacket to a drowning beggar or a bottle of water to a person dying of thirst. The presence of Carnival in the final stanzas of the poem seems an odd answer to the moral and mortal problem with which the poem is concerned, and yet, fittingly, it provides the solution to the vulnerable dog (and beggar) whose pink skin is suffering from exposure to the elements. "Dress up!" the speaker urges the dog, saying in effect: "our tourists don't mind observing your poverty during Lent – 'Ash Wednesday'll come, but Carnival is here' – but now the tourists want to see everyone happy and disguised, even if you are only disguised as happy." Everyone in Bishop's poem either enables or participates in slum tourism, keeping Rocinha's beggars on display, the merchants' pockets full, and the politicians' posts secure.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A federal judge has ruled Somalia's territorial waters extend only 12 miles from shore, allowing the U.S. to continue its prosecution of the murders of four Americans aboard their pirated yacht.
The owners of the yacht and their friends were killed in 2011 about 40 miles off the coast of Somalia. A band of pirates had taken them hostage in hopes of ransoming them for millions of dollars.
Defense attorneys for the men charged in the killings contended Somalia's territorial waters extend 200 miles from shore, based on its domestic legislation. But prosecutors noted Somalia signed a treaty agreeing to a 12-mile limit.
U.S. District Judge Rebecca Beach Smith denied a motion seeking to have the murder charges dismissed. If convicted, the men could face the death penalty.

Baltimore (PRWEB) November 07, 2011
NCAA champion lacrosse coaches John Danowski (Duke men) and Kelly Amonte Hiller (Northwestern women), National Lacrosse Hall of Fame umpire Jen O'Donnell, four-time Super Bowl referee Jerry Markbreit and ESPN analyst Herm Edwards highlight the schedule of speakers at the 2012 US Lacrosse National Convention, presented by Champion, as announced today by US Lacrosse. Roughly 150 of the game's top coaches, officials, trainers and administrators will conduct educational sessions for their respective colleagues Jan. 13-15 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.
Early-bird registration for the convention continues at http://www.uslacrosse.org/2012convention through Nov. 11 for the discounted price of $80. The convention, annually the largest educational and networking event in the lacrosse world, is open to lacrosse coaches, officials and administrators with an active membership in US Lacrosse, although non-members may join at the time of registration.
"We've targeted leaders in lacrosse who are passionate about developing the game by sharing their knowledge with coaches and officials at the youth and high school levels," said Beth Porreca, director of special events at US Lacrosse.
Danowski led the Blue Devils to the 2010 NCAA championship, and he has mentored 31 collegiate All-Americans during his career as a coach at Hofstra and Duke.
"Neither I nor my son Matt would have the wonderful experiences we have with lacrosse today were it not for our interactions with great coaches along the way," Danowski said. "I'm happy to speak at the US Lacrosse convention and share some tips with other coaches, who will help improve the lacrosse experience for their own players."
Amonte Hiller has built a dynasty at Northwestern, leading the program to six national championships in the last seven years. During her tenure, three Wildcat players have won the prestigious Tewaaraton Award.
"Lacrosse is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, but it's important to have the quality of coaching keep pace with the increase in participation," Amonte Hiller said. "US Lacrosse has done a good job focusing on the development of coaches at all levels, and the annual convention is a great opportunity to work together toward that goal. I'm looking forward to participating."
Edwards, a nine-year defensive back with the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles and later the head coach of the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs, will kick off the convention with a keynote address at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 13. The convention will mark a homecoming for Edwards, who still holds the Eagles' record for interceptions with 38 (regular season and postseason) and started 135 consecutive games despite not being drafted out of San Diego State in 1977.
O'Donnell, a 2009 inductee into the National Hall of Fame, will join NCAA men's final four official and USILA observation program director Bob Curcio in a lineup for officials that includes popular NCAA, NFHS and US Lacrosse rules interpretation sessions and offerings from the US Lacrosse Officials Education Program. Markbreit, a former longtime executive at 3M who officiated in the NFL for 23 years, will address lacrosse officials at 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14.
The convention schedule and speaker bios appear at http://www.uslacrosse.org/2012convention.
Online convention registration from Nov. 12 through Dec. 28 will cost $105. Registration onsite in Philadelphia Jan. 13-15 will cost $150. Groups of 10 or more can save an additional $10 per attendee by registering together.
The US Lacrosse National Convention annually draws some 5,000 participants, and it includes two live demonstration areas, approximately 150 educational sessions, and Fan Fest, a portion of events open to the public and centered around the sport's largest exposition hall. Fan Fest tickets will be sold onsite at the Grand Hall to the general public for $10 and to lacrosse players wearing team jerseys for just $5. Children 6 and under will be admitted free to Fan Fest, which runs 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14.

PHILADELPHIA — Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette left no doubt about who his starting goaltender will be tonight against the Bruins in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series at the Wells Fargo Center.
Brian Boucher, the Game 1 starter who was pulled in the second period of Boston's 7-3 win, will get another chance to solve Boston's offense.
"Brian will go back in net today," said Laviolette after his team's morning skate. "Today for me is a game where we all get to go back in there and try and right some wrongs. So everybody gets an opportunity. He deserves it."
It was already apparent Boucher would start tonight because he took shots at the end of the Wells Fargo Center where the starter traditionally practices at morning skate — thanks to Mike Morreale of NHL.com for that bit of Flyers trivia — and he was the first one off the ice.
Boucher and the Flyers start their search for redemption at 7:30 p.m.

Color Inc Pro Lab is who I use for my printing. I love the way my prints look true to life. And I have received amazing customer service. I contacted them to see if they would be a guest on my blog. They have agreed to do periodic articles teaching you more about printing.
Today's article will educate you on some basics of Color Management and Color Profiles.
Also read at the bottom for an exclusive code for new customers.
Color Management Basics by Color Inc Pro Lab
Color Management is one of these headache-inducing struggles that early photographers face. How do you ensure that color in a print, will match color on a monitor? Luckily, with the proper tools and a little bit of effort, you can get pretty accurate colors between your images and prints.
The most important part of color management deals with your computer monitor. Invest in a monitor calibration kit, such as an eye-one display 2 (X-Rite) or Spyder 2 (ColorVision). For instance, Color Incorporated sells the eye-one display 2 for just $240.00 These devices hang from your monitor and measure its output, in order to suggest proper monitor settings and color values. They usually create monitor color profiles you can use as well.
Additionally, you can use tools such as Adobe Photoshop to enforce color management. Simply select "Edit-> Color Settings" (see attached screenshot). This will instruct photoshop to display images in sRGB (Working Space), and alert you if you open a non-RGB profiled image.
Getting color managed takes some time and effort. If your busy, or just want someone else to handle the color for you, you can opt for additional service, such as ColorInc's color correction and artwork services. ColorInc's Color Corrected Proofs are only 39 cents each.
These tools are important, because color space (such as sRGB) offer different colors. For instance, most cameras take photos in color spaces larger than sRGB (such as Adobe RGB). However, because printers do not print all of the colors that Adobe RGB contains, you can run into color management issues where a photo you have, contains a color that can't be printed.
Sticking to calibrated equipment and profiles helps alleviate this issue, by only allowing specific colors that are within print range. This should keep your colors matched, and photos looking great!

I hope I word this correctly.
I am running IPcop firewall and I always see a lot of garbage traffic coming from over seas. I see a lot of misc MS-SQL attacks from the same range of IPs. I got tired of seeing them and decided to drop packets from entire continets.
I did "iptables -A INPUT -s 18.104.22.168/8 -j DROP" for a bunch of other ip ranges.
I thought that by droping the packets the IDS would ignore all the attack attempts but it still shows up on the IDS logs.
Is that normal?

NEW YORK (AP) — Two New York City political wives, forever linked by their husbands' humiliating scandals, are taking very different roles in their spouses' improbable political comebacks.
Silda Wall Spitzer, who famously stood by husband Eliot Spitzer in 2008 when he stepped down as governor in a prostitution scandal, hasn't been seen in the early days of his campaign for city comptroller, though Spitzer insists she's supportive.
Huma Abedin, who was notably absent when husband Anthony Weiner resigned his congressional seat in 2011 after he acknowledged sending lewd Twitter photos to women, has been a key player in his surging mayoral run. She's appeared in his campaign launch video, raised tens of thousands of dollars and joined him on the campaign trail.
The two women, who have no known relationship, will have little choice but to occupy the spotlight again before Election Day — and they may affect their husbands' chances to regain office.
"When the significant other forgives you, it makes your road back in politics that much easier," said Wendy Schiller, a political science professor at Brown University. "If the wife goes on the campaign trail or seems really supportive, it makes a huge difference. If she doesn't, it may raise doubts with women."
To many, Wall Spitzer's anguished appearance at her husband's side when he admitted paying for sex with prostitutes, is the archetype of the sad genre of wronged political wives, so much so that it helped inspire the CBS drama "The Good Wife." She largely vanished from the public eye after that moment, briefly resurfacing for a Vogue photo spread the following year titled "The Survivor."
As Eliot Spitzer, 54, struggled to adapt to a post-political life, bouncing around the TV dial from MSNBC to CNN to Current TV, Wall Spitzer happily returned to a quieter existence. A former corporate lawyer, she poured herself into her children's charity and returned to the business world, eventually finding a home at New World Capital Group, a private equity group where she focuses on investments in clean energy.
She agreed to her husband's surprising comeback only hours before he announced it to the world this month, according to a person close to the campaign who was not authorized to speak about Spitzer's personal life. Wall Spitzer has offered suggestions about Spitzer's campaign and collected a pair of petitions to get him on the ballot. One of the couple's three daughters rounded up about 100 signatures.
But Wall Spitzer, 55, has shunned the campaign trail and has yet to grant any interviews about her husband, which stands in stark contrast to her frequent appearances at Spitzer's side during his previous runs for attorney general and governor.
Her silence has fueled speculation that their marriage is on the rocks. The couple lives apart — she at the family home on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, he at his sick elderly parents' home a few blocks away — though Spitzer firmly denied a published report that the couple was separated.
"Regarding Silda's dearth of appearances on the campaign, there has been a maelstrom of media attention focused on Eliot's entry into the race," said Lisa Linden, the campaign's spokeswoman. "He has no desire to bring his family into the media frenzy at this time."
Linden did not say when, or if, the former New York first lady would campaign for her husband. Spitzer has acknowledged the "hurt" he caused his wife but said she would soon join him on the trail.
Wall Spitzer didn't respond to a request for comment.
"No one will forget that press conference; having her get back out there is a lot to ask," said Christina Greer, professor at Fordham University. "She could be saying, 'I did it once. I was raked over the coals, with people analyzing my scarf, my jewelry, my tears. You want to get back out there? Fine, but don't expect me to do it with you.'"
Spitzer's primary rival, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, campaigned with his wife the day after Spitzer announced his bid.
Experts differ as to how much Wall Spitzer's absence will matter.
"Is it a sign she thinks he'll do it again?" Schiller asked. "Has he really learned his lesson? It could signal to women that she has doubts about his character."
Political strategist Bill Cunningham, a former adviser to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, said voters pick a candidate based on the spouse and don't care if they are there.
"A role of a spouse is a lot like chicken soup amid an array of medicines," Cunningham said. "It doesn't hurt, but whether or not it has profound value is unclear."
On the other hand, there is little question that Abedin, who was a top adviser to Hillary Clinton at the State Department and is now running her transition team to private life, is fully invested in her husband's mayoral run.
She was pregnant with the couple's now 19-month-old son, Jordan, when Weiner stepped down from office. As the former congressman entered a self-imposed political exile, the 36-year-old Abedin traveled the globe with Clinton. Although she rarely was more than a few feet from one of the world's most famous women, Abedin fiercely protected her privacy and avoided the limelight.
That changed this spring. She sat down for an extensive New York Times Magazine interview that was the first step of Weiner's comeback and she even had a brief speaking role in his mayoral campaign kick-off video, saying, "We love this city and no one will work harder to make it better than Anthony."
She tapped into the Clinton family's vast network of donors and raised more than $150,000 over the last two months for her husband. And last weekend, she made her debut on the trail, walking Harlem's streets hand-in-hand with Weiner, 48, who has gone from punch line to one of the race's front-runners.
"I'm having so much fun," she told reporters. "It's just wonderful to see the response that people have to Anthony. He's working hard, and people seem to be noticing."
Pundits said they weren't surprised Abedin was taking a far bigger role in her husband's campaign than Wall Spitzer is in hers.
"Unlike Silda, Huma is a political person with her own ambitions. Hillary in 2016 may be a big part of this," Schiller said. "If Weiner rehabilitates his image, even if he doesn't win, it helps Huma, too."
Each scandal-scarred candidate's return to politics was met with suggestions that they would be met with skepticism from female voters and even protests from women's groups.
"Forgiveness and second chances are an appropriate measure for wives, but I don't think that's the measure for those of us who are being asked to vote for them," said Sonia Ossorio, head of the New York Chapter of the National Organization for Women. Her group has endorsed the mayoral race's lone female candidate, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and plans to back Stringer next week.
To this point, neither Spitzer nor Weiner has struggled to win female support.
Spitzer led Stringer 44 to 32 percent among women in a Quinnipiac College poll conducted last week, while that same poll had Weiner drawing 21 percent of women, only two points behind Quinn and ahead of the rest of the crowded Democratic field.
"Women care about things — like the economy or public safety — that impact their lives directly," Greer said. "I don't think the scandals, or the wives, matter as much."

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Jason Kidd, hired to coach the Brooklyn Nets just days after retiring as a player, has a pending court case in New York stemming from a drunken driving arrest.
Kidd has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor DWI. Suffolk County prosecutors on eastern Long Island confirm that Kidd's case is scheduled in Southampton Town Court on June 20.
Defense attorney Edward Burke Jr., said his client is not expected to attend that proceeding because several legal motions filed in the case have yet to be decided. He did not elaborate.
Kidd suffered minor injuries when his vehicle hit a pole and veered into the woods in Water Mill last July. Kidd later posted a message on Twitter regretting what happened.
The misdemeanor charge carries up to a year in jail.


text: Garland Mayor Douglas Athas and Mayor Pro Tem Lori Barnett Dodson have been reappointed to the National League of Cities (NLC) 2014 First Tier Suburbs Council. This council represents cities and towns outside of central cities and inside the ring of developing suburbs and rural areas. They share unique challenges and strengths that should be included in national, state and regional policy discussions. The appointment was announced by NLC President Chris Coleman, mayor, St. Paul, Minn. In addition, Mayor Athas has been appointed to the NLC's 2014 Community and Economic Development Policy and Advocacy Committee. This committee develops NLC federal policy positions on issues involving housing, community and economic development, land use, recreation and parks, historic preservation and international competitiveness. This is Mayor Athas' fifth year on the First Tier Suburbs committee, including one term as chair. This is Mayor Pro Tem Dodson's third year. Former Garland Mayor Bob Day served on the inaugural First Tier Suburb Council. Garland has had representation on this important panel each year since. As members of the committee, Mayor Athas and Mayor Pro Tem Dodson will play key roles in strengthening suburban communities across the nation and will help set organizational policies on federal issues, while exploring city challenges and networking with peers. Mayor Athas believes Garland's hard work in this area has made a difference well beyond the city's borders. "The National League of Cities has continuously looked to Garland for innovative solutions. I am very proud of the opportunity to continue working with NLC and the First Tier Suburbs Council. This is a great opportunity for us to further our working relationships with many cities and towns across the country. It is rare for one city to have two representatives serve on one council and I am very proud of the contribution that Mayor Pro Tem Dodson has given to this council." "I look forward to continuing my work with the First Tier Suburbs Council," said Mayor Pro Tem Dodson. "I am proud to be able to share best practices and the great programs Garland City staff has developed in this arena and exchange information with other cities." Mayor Athas was elected in May 2013 and previously served six years on the City Council representing District 1. Mayor Pro Tem Dodson was elected to the Garland City Council in 2011 representing District 6. The chair of this year's First Tier Suburbs Council is Corey Rushton, council member, West Valley City, Utah. Serving as this year's vice chairs are Stanley Koci, mayor, Bedford, Ohio. and Gary Sherwood, council member, Glendale, Ariz. For more information on NLC's other committees and councils, visit http://www.nlc.org/build-skills-and-networks/networks/committees-and-councils/first-tier-suburbs-council.

Colton Willis and the Newport Greyhound defense led the way as the Hounds downed the Nettleton Raiders 28-7 to begin the season 1-0 under first year Head Coach Don Harrison.
"It's great to be 1-0," said Harrison with a big smile. "We've talked about it all week, we've talked about it since the beginning, we take it a game at a time and now we're 1-0." Coach Mark Hindley's defense forced a punt on the Raiders first possession of the game as linebacker Tyler Asher had a tackle for loss on the drive and Willis added a sack. On the Greyhounds first offensive possession running back Carl Turner took off for a 16 yard gain running over a Raider defensive back in the process. Quarterback Gunner Bullard then hit Garrett Smith on a screen pass for about a 10 yard play. Nettleton was whistled for an offsides penalty setting up a 30 yard touchdown pass from Bullard to Shufon Alcorn to take a 7-0 lead early. The lead was short lived as on their second offensive possession Bullard was picked off by a Raider defensive lineman who returned the pick for a touchdown to tie the game at seven which was the score at the end of the first quarter. "I gave them seven points. It was a horrible call by me," said Harrison after the game. " I don't know what I was thinking. But you know, it's just one of those things when it happened I knew it was my fault and it's all on me." The second quarter started with a bang as Bullard hit wide receiver Charlie Bell for about a 30 yard gain to move the Greyhounds into Nettleton territory. Kristen Crite took the handoff and carried the ball 13 yards to set up yet another 30 yard touchdown throw from Bullard to Alcorn to give the Hounds a 14-7 lead. The defense took over and with Nettleton making a push Crite grabbed his first interception of the season. The Hounds punted on the ensuing possession but the defense held tough with Willis getting a big hit on the Raiders quarterback and Khairan Stafford stuffing their running back in the backfield for a loss. The half would end with the Greyhounds up 14-7 and the Newport defense allowing only 89 total yards in the half. The Greyhounds received the ball at the beginning of the first half and Crite took over as he led the Hounds on a seven play 88 yard touchdown drive. On second down Crite broke away and cut his way up field for a 40 yard gain. A couple plays later Bullard hit Warren Smith on an out route to set up a 17 yard touchdown run from Crite to put the Hounds up 21-7 early in the second half. The defense would take over from there as they continued their dominance and didn't allow Nettleton to score any offensive points the entire game. Colton Willis forced a fumble late in the third quarter which the Hounds recovered and Crite sealed the game when he intercepted the Raiders quarterback with about two minutes left in the fourth quarter and returned it 65 yards for the score. "That is Coach Hindsley's defense and they are a product of him," Coach Harrison said about the impressive performance from the Newport defense. "They are intense, they are tenacious and they swarm the football." Colton Willis was chosen as the player of the game and had 10 tackles, two sacks, two tackles for losses and forced a fumble. Other defensive standouts were Shufon Alcorn with six solo tackles, Khairan Stafford with four solo tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss and four quarterback hurries and Kristen Crite who had two interceptions, one for a touchdown. Offensively, Gunnar Bullard was 10 for 15 (66 percent) for 178 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Crite caught three passes for 35 yards, Alcorn had two catches for 60 yards, both were 30 yard touchdown grabs, Charlie Bell had two catches for 49 yards, Garrett Smith had two catches for 17 yards and Warren Smith had one catch for 17 yards. Carl Turner carried the ball 14 times for 38 yards and Crite had 10 carries for 104 yards and one touchdown. The Greyhounds will be back in action tomorrow night as they travel to Bald Knob with kickoff scheduled fro 7 p.m.

I don't use puff pastry on a regular basis, because I know that it's layers of butter that puffs up. Still, puff pastry is such a versatile product to work with. I have no desire to make puff pastry from scratch! I let Pepperidge Farm do all of the work! I've made Ina Garten's easy Cheese Danish, which was a big hit with all of us. I've also made Raspberry Palmiers, which are my son's favorite. For Christmas, this year, I made Salmon En Croute (or you could call it Salmon Wellington) with Cremini Duxelles. The Duxelles are so easy to make, and we loved them. I had extra Duxelles that I decided to freeze-- though I wasn't sure if that was such a good idea. Before I made Ina's very simple looking Savory Palmier's, I decided to see if the Duxelles would thaw well and make an easy filling for pinwheel style h'ors doevres. Enough chit-chat-- let's get on with it!
With another sheet of puff pastry, I made Ina Garten's recipe. I make my own pesto, which I freeze and/or store in a glass jar in the refrigerator. After slathering a layer of pesto, I added the toasted pine nuts (which I almost burned... so watch the dry roasting in a pan very closely). I sprinkled some chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Ina uses goat cheese, but I only had fresh feta. (I opted not to add salt, which was a wise decision.) So, that's what I used. If you aren't sure how to roll up palmiers, I show you how here.
I am happy to report that the Duxelles are excellent rolled up in puff pastry! C'mon, how could it not be? We really loved Ina's combo of sun-dried tomatoes, pest and toasted pine nuts. I did not feel that salt was missing at all.
I have some baking and roasting to get busy with this weekend, now that my oven is back!
TGIF from our kitchen,

BP has agreed to pay a $4.5 billion settlement with the U.S. government over the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP's Deepwater Horizon rig, 50 miles off the Louisiana coast, sank in an explosion on April 20, 2010, spewing crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico, killing wildlife and shutting vast areas of the Gulf to commercial fishing for months.
Here's a look back at some of the impacts:
The Macondo wellhead released 210 million gallons of oil during the spill. Of that, 172 million gallons were released directly into the Gulf of Mexico, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The Deepwater Horizon explosion killed 11 rig workers and injured 17 others. Two BP well-site leaders have now been charged with manslaughter and a BP executive has been indicted on charges he lied to authorities.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials documented 6,104 dead birds, 609 dead sea turtles and 100 dead mammals, including dolphins, from the impacted area. Experts also collected 456 living sea turtles and 2,079 birds that were visibly oiled.
The oil soiled sensitive tidal estuaries and beaches, severely affecting the edges of saltwater and brackish marshes. Sand beaches, barrier islands, tidal mud flats and mangrove stands in five coastal states were damaged.
Sullied waters and health concerns shut down commercial fishing in the region for months, putting thousands of shrimpers and fishermen out of work. Charter captains, property owners, environmental groups, restaurants, hotels and other tourism businesses all claimed they suffered economic losses after the spill.
At the peak of the crisis, the response effort involved 48,200 people, 9,700 vessels and 1.8 million gallons of chemical dispersants. The Coast Guard helped burn 265,450 barrels of oil using controlled fires.

Where was this spotted - Canada? Which store?
I found this along with the Hyena Bomber, repainted AT-AP and repainted Trade Federation Tank this morning at a TRU.
Pete, I am on the fence with this one, more on the pass side. Do you have any pics with troops?
Here's a question for anyone who's gotten this vehicle and opened it up...Does this vehicle come with one of those Blue/Gray instruction sheets? I just opened up the one I found this morning and it wasn't entirely tied down in the packaging and there wasn't one of those sheets with the vehicle.I'm gonna return it if it was supposed to have one of those sheets...
Saw this last weekend and passed. At least for now. It was at TRU and their prices are just a little too high for my tastes. As much as I'd like to see TRU succeed in light of the pressure from Target and WalMart, it's difficult to justify their price discrepancies.

Only one good thing come with the end of summer—football season. And while we still have plenty of days left to enjoy the dog days of summer, momentum is slowly building for what could be an epic year for 49ers football.
The team officially starts training camp with players reporting to the team's Santa Clara headquarters today.
Excited? The team hopes so. The 49ers released a video today with game highlights from the breakout season last year and previous camps:

Would you consider slipcast Yixing to be the same thing then, since moisture is added to make it pourable? I am not only trying to play devil's advocate here, but to me, it's not really clear cut.MarshalN wrote: I believe Yixing clay as normally used and processed and composed is not throwable. To make it throwable the first thing you need to do is to make it more malleable - I don't think it just becomes "softer" on its own without you adding things to it (moisture, perhaps, or other substances). In any case, having done so, what you have is no longer the same thing.
Like many people, I would prefer to avoid slipcast Yixing for the most part, but I wouldn't necessarily go so far as to say that a slipcast Yixing pot is not Yixing.
I do think that the traditional method of construction is an important part of the craft. But there are certainly plenty of relatively recent (let's say since the 80s or so) changes to the way pots are made which veer from tradition - types of kilns, method of processing the raw material, additives, etc.

The Honda Civic has at some time been a part of most our lives, whether we owned one or rode shotgun with friends or family. We all have some sort of Civic story. Honda is preparing to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its most famous model, next year, but before then it has released a video titled "Heritage" that looks back at this automotive icon.
The video features a soundtrack from British house music trio Dirty Vegas and provides a glimpse at the history of this model. Since it debuted in 1973 more than 19 million Civics have been sold, it's no wonder everyone has a Honda Civic story.
Check out the video below.

Crazy Enough to Be True: Ten Wild MMA Predictions for 2013
(You see, kids, this is why we don't break the fourth rule of Project Mayhem. Photo via Complex)
By Jason Moles
As is customary, nay tradition, around these parts, we're hitting the eggnog early and often this week — thus, the obligatory Top 10 list to close out another year in the world of mixed martial arts. It's not all fluff, though: Last year we predicted a champion would test positive for a banned substance and Brock Lesnar would retire. Not bad, huh? So grab a seat while we break out the crystal ball and see what 2013 has in store for us.
1.) Showtime stays in the MMA biz, will announce deal with Invicta FC and others.
MMA is just too popular to completely wash your hands of. Showtime may finally be done with Strikeforce, but that only means they're now free to partner up with the likes of all-female Invicta FC or the World Series of Fighting, both of which could be looking for more permanent homes after their early success in 2012. Don't let the Invicta PPV news fool you; they can't win that battle. No matter who inks the deal, expect Showtime to counter-program at least one UFC event.
2.) A Ronda Rousey loss brings about the swift execution of women's MMA in the UFC.Read More DIGG THIS

Waisenhaus (Orphanage), a prison in Bern, Switzerland, was built in 1657 as a dual purpose building: (1) as a reformatory and (2) as a training school for orphan children. It was located on the north side of the French Church (then the Predigerkirche). From the beginning it was also used as a prison for Anabaptists, and the very first instruction (13 July 1657) to the board of managers specified that provision be made for "Widerteufer." Then on 20 December 1658, the city council ordered the magistrates of Thun, Burgdorf, Langenthal, and Brugg to arrest the Anabaptist ministers and send them to Bern, and decreed that "a directorium of civil and clerical persons be established to see that this intent against the Anabaptist sect be diligently pursued and execution accomplished." This was the origin of the notorious "Täuferkammer" (Anabaptist Bureau; see Bern) set up later. A subcommission of six was then set up on 4 January 1659, called "Committeerten zum Teufferischen geschefft," which had direct charge of Anabaptist matters under the Waisenhaus board. The first Anabaptist minister to be imprisoned in the Waisenhaus was Anthoni Himmelberg, incarcerated on 24 June 1658, who died in prison on 25 October 1660. The Waisenhaus served for many years as the Anabaptist incarceration house.

Review Transcript:
Hey everybody, it's the first movie since The Dark Knight Rises that didn't make me want to punch random strangers!
And it's a horror themed stop-motion animation family film!
Ok fine, it's not exactly the best selling point for a movie.
ParaNorman is a film about a little boy named, obviously, Norman. He's more than a little obsessed with horror movies and creatures (particularly zombies), and for good reason. Like Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense, he has a sixth sense…at least I think so…anyway, he can see and talk to dead people! Unfortunately, this ability makes him an outcast in not only the town, but his own family.
The direction this movie takes after the establishment of Norman and his situation is a very interesting one that introduces us to a wide array of characters. Most of them are one-dimensional side characters, but even they have enjoyable personalities. We get to know his family and their dynamics, his dopey but loveable new friend Neil, even a few ghosts and one of Norman's biggest tormentors become fleshed out characters!
The animation in Paranorman is absolutely brilliant and is the very first movie to employ full-color 3D printers in its stop-motion style. While I only saw this in the "regular" 2D presentation, beleive me when I say that you still get the full experience without having to see it with those incredibly annoying glasses.
As for the humor, by god it felt good to watch a movie that wasn't trying way too hard for a laugh. It's easily funnier than "Aliens VS CostCo" (The Watch) and "An Hour and a Half of My Life I'll Never Get Back" (The Campaign) combined without ever having to force its jokes. Are they silly? Sure, it's mostly a kids movie after all. While there may not be a lot of major laughs, the humor is consistent, and has the bonus of an innocent charm about it from most characters. There are a few choice words thrown out here and there that are a bit jarring and honestly feel a bit out of place, but the worst of these is "jackass". Not words you may want your youngest kids to hear, but nothing that really risks being censored on its first TV presentation.
Then finally the story itself is the strongest part of this film. Not only are the characters well fleshed out as I mentioned before, the horror movie elements are expertly handled and there's a strong message portrayed throughout. The horror elements are effective enough to impress adult audiences but aren't too scary for anyone but maybe the youngest of viewers. If anything, it's a great introduction for a younger audience to the horror genre without scaring the pants off of them. The message is something best saved for when you see the movie, and is something that hits home for both kids and adults in different ways.
In the end, ParaNorman is a film that I honestly believe anyone can enjoy. I highly recommend seeing it in theaters if you can. It never failed to entertain from the very first scene to the thrilling (and gorgeous) climax, and doesn't miss a beat until the credits start to roll.
I give ParaNorman: 9/10.
I'm Papa Kenn, and I'll see you next review.

A federal jury on Friday awarded $12 million to a man who said he was deprived of prescribed epilepsy medication while serving time at Statesville Correction Center, leading to permanent injuries, according to the law firm which represented the man.
Andy Thayer, spokesman for Chicago-based law office Loevy and Loevy, said the jury awarded Raymond Fox $11 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages.
Fox, 50, was "severely disabled" in 2007 after he was denied the epilepsy medication after his need for medication was ignored by prison staff, Thayer said.
"This is a very significant verdict if you know anything about prisoner rights," Thayer said. "It's very difficult to get any kind of significant settlement for prisoners when their rights are violated."
